Chapter Forty-Eight: One to Five, One to Five
For the next two days, Regnar had been recuperating at Annelot's house, because he had told Cordak that he was going to work in the guild, so Cordak and Cordak were not surprised that Ragnar did not return.
In addition, Regna didn't want Cordak to know about his injury, lest Cordak worry and delay his duel with Orwin.
The suggestion to invite him to stay was the first to be made by Annelot, which made Regner look a little differently at this cold girl, and he did not expect that Annelot would have a delicate and enthusiastic side.
But then he realized that he was wrong, that Anne Lot's invitation to recuperate at home was delicate, but not at all enthusiastic, and that the girl was not as taciturn as Selenos, but she seldom had meaningless conversations like Kordak and Vera, and that she would not say a word to Regnado if there was no matter, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Although Anne Lot did not show the enthusiasm that a master should have, it has to be said that the healing potion she gave was still quite good, and these gray-white powders were probably the secret masterpiece of some alchemist, and the healing effect was comparable to the priest's secondary healing technique!
The seven or eight stab wounds on Regner's body were scarred on the first day under the influence of the powder, and the scars fell off completely the next day, revealing the tender pink flesh of the new.
The next night, fearing Cordak's decisive battle tomorrow, Regner said goodbye to Anne Lot, and returned to the stars alone, after confirming that his injuries were almost healed.
That night, Regnar and Vera talked to Kordak for a long time, in short, they wanted to make sure that the duel was foolproof, whether they could defeat Orwin was secondary, but Kordak must be safe.
Kordak was confident of this, for Anne Lot had sent him detailed information about Alwin.
Although Anne Lot's statement succeeded in hiding it from Regner, and even Vera didn't have much suspicion about it, it couldn't hide it from the old and spicy Cordak.
Anne Lot was also very honest about this, and on the afternoon of the day she joined the team, she had another secret conversation with Kordak, not only admitting that she was from the Lunaris Thieves Guild, but also preparing an information about Alvin and giving it to Kordak.
"Orwin is also from your guild, why are you helping me?" asked Kordak, a little puzzled.
"I have to admit that he has a very good execution ability, but his bloodthirsty and crazy personality makes him too uncontrollable. Guilds don't like things they can't control, and since they don't, there's nothing wrong with getting rid of them. Anne Lot replied.
Kordak's eyes flashed: "Get rid of it if you can't control it?"
"You can guess for yourself. Anne Lot, with an ambiguous answer, turned away.
......
Early the next morning, a lot of people gathered at the east gate of Meteorite City.
In the past two days, the news of the duel between Kordak and Alvin in front of the east gate has been rumored in the city. Although the four major forces or some big chambers of commerce did not pay any attention to this, this duel between the two has become the focus of discussion in private casinos.
Kordak, a level 8 warrior, has been fighting with Selenos as a mercenary since he appeared in Meteor City eight years ago. Because of his bold personality and super high mission execution ability, he was quite praised in the Mercenary Alliance, and because of his inseparable relationship with Selenos, people once called them "Meteorite Mercenary Duo".
With Kordak's strength, being the captain of a mercenary team is really a bit humiliating, and the Mercenary Alliance has extended an olive branch several times to try to win over Kordak to make him an internal member of the Mercenary Alliance.
But each time, he was rejected by Kordak on the grounds that he was "used to being casual and not liking restraint". Originally, the Mercenary Alliance thought that Kordak felt that the conditions he offered were not generous enough, but after promising to hand over a mercenary squadron to him but still refused, the Mercenary Alliance also understood that Kordak was not pretending to shirk, and finally died of this heart.
It's just that Kordak has a perennial reputation, and the Mercenary Alliance is also very interested in his connections among mercenaries, so the Mercenary Alliance has always taken a lot of care of Kordak.
On the other hand, although Alvin is not as popular as Kordak, his popularity is even higher than Kordak. Alwin, a ninth-level assassin and a member of the Assassination Department of the Lunaris Thieves Guild, occasionally takes on some assassination missions in the Mercenary Alliance to earn extra money. What made Orwin famous was the "Brisens" incident a year ago.
Brisnes is the deepest stronghold ever built by the Hawk Empire on the Western Continent in the Eastern Continent.
Since most of the inhabitants of the Eastern Continent are exiles from the former Western Continent, the humans of the Eastern Continent do not have any good feelings about those imperial forces. The two sides have had numerous clashes between the two sides in the Silvermoon Forest and the Piro Plains east of the Silvermoon Forest, and the most recent major conflict is the "Brisnellus Incident".
Although there has been a constant conflict between the East and the West, it has not hindered people-to-people trade.
However, the lord of the Brisnell outpost is a ruthless and greedy man, and he once seized a large number of supplies from the Pound Chamber of Commerce, which made the Pound Chamber of Commerce, which was in desperate need of goods to solve its urgent needs, anxious. They paid the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild to assassinate the hateful lord. And it was Orwin who carried out this task at that time.
Killing an opponent of the same level is not a very difficult task.
But Alvin infiltrated the Lord's Mansion without the guards noticing, and dealt with the guy silently under the layers of heavy guards.
Although the exact process is unknown, it can be seen from Brisens' reactions in the past few days that the lord did die neatly that night.
Since then, Orwin's fame has grown, and his own perverted and twisted desires have swelled with it.
Relying on his reputation in Brisnes, Orwin can be said to have done almost everything: because he fell in love with a certain farmer's daughter, Alvin sneaked into the farmer's house in the middle of the night, not only raped the girl, but also killed everyone afterwards. Torture and kill the little beggar in Meteor City just because he wants to satisfy his perverted bloodthirsty desires. raped the shopkeeper's **, but was inadvertently bumped into by Kordak, which ruined his good deeds, and Kordak has been targeted by this biting snake since then.
Although Alvin is a perverted madman, no one can deny that he hides it well, he has committed countless crimes, and the security team of Falling Star City has not been able to convict him every time due to insufficient evidence. But these crimes only increased Orwin's fame, so that almost no one in Falling Star City dared to provoke this perverted killer.
And today, the mercenary alliance's famous Kordaq is about to fight a life-and-death duel with the notorious Orwyn of the Lunaris Thieves Guild. This immediately attracted the attention of the mercenaries and many ordinary people in Meteor City.
Most of the people here are supportive of Kordak, whether it is a mercenary who has a good relationship with Kordak or a flat-headed common people who are afraid of that perverted demon, they all hope that Kordak can rid Meteor City of this evil.
But there are still many people who support Orwin, most of them are criminals with some twisted psychology, there is no doubt that Orwin's superb criminal skills have made him a model among his peers, many people have studied some of his crimes as if they were textbooks, and Orwin has become an idol in the hearts of these people.
Despite the popular support, it has to be said that almost everyone still thinks that Kordak is no match for Orwin, after all, he is the assassin who killed Lord Brissonis, and this name sounds much better than Kordak.
"Boss, what did you ask me for money last night?" Regner originally thought that Kordak asked him for money to buy what equipment to deal with today's duel, so he handed it to Kordak without hesitation.
But today he looked at Kordak's outfit, but found that it was not much different from before, so he wondered what Kordak was doing with all the money.
"What's the matter? hehe, of course I'm going to make a fortune!" said Kordak mysteriously.
"Huh?" Vera and Regner looked at each other, Vera had borrowed all of her savings the day before yesterday from Kordak, and now neither of them understood what Kordak had done with that money.
"Do you know what the odds are for me to win in the underground casinos right now?" said Kordak smugly.
"Huh?" Vera and Regner looked at each other again, and the two of them had a not-so-good guess in their minds, but neither of them said it.
"One to five! One to five! Those guys who don't have long eyes are even optimistic about me, hmph, Lao Tzu put a total of five hundred and eighty gold coins on me this time with the three of us and the team's public funds. Hehe, do the math, we can make a full 2,900 gold coins today, hahahaha, get rich, hahahaha!!!" Kordak became more and more proud, and finally laughed out loud.
Although Kordak was smiling, Vera and Regner were all black when they heard it.
"NND, take the gold coins that the old lady has worked hard to save to gamble? I don't think Alwin needs to fight you, the old lady will just kill you. Vera was furious and twisted Kordak's ear one hundred and eighty degrees, and Kordak screamed in pain, and almost somersaulted with Vera's hand.
"Give me back the money, or I'll go to the door of the tavern and post your big-character poster and splash your paint!" And Regner on the side also jumped to his feet and did not give up, although he had just joined the mercenary and had saved up a dozen gold coins, but he was the first time he had seen so much money in more than ten years of life.
Originally, for the sake of Kordak's life, he gritted his teeth and sent them all out, but he never imagined that Kordak would take his money to gamble.
Ever since Kordak said about gambling, the three of them have never stopped scolding, scolding, beating, and slapping on the way to the east gate. When everyone saw the dying Kordak tossed by Vera and Regner, they were glad that they had made the right bet. Quansheng may not be able to beat the opponent, how can he fight with Orwin in this way?
"Are you here? I thought you were out of the way because you were afraid of rolling the cover. Alvin said with a smirk when he saw Kordak.
