After leaving the lighthouse, Roger and Catherine walked through the fishing village and arrived at the wide white sand beach at night. The turbulent waves of the Darcy Sea slammed against the beach violently, making a shocking roaring sound. The sea breeze was filled with a strong salty smell. , a strange whisper could be vaguely heard in the wind.
"Come here, don't make a sound!" Roger pulled Catherine to the back of an upside-down fishing boat and squatted down, using the fishing boat to hide his traces. The two of them had just hid behind the fishing boat when a huge wave of six to seven meters high swooped down towards the quiet beach accompanied by the sound of angry sea tides.
The two people hiding behind the boat saw a mysterious figure appearing on the top of the huge waves, standing steadily on the high tide. As the roaring tide descended on the beach, a giant shark carried the man to the beach. Then, with her wave, he returned to the sea with the rushing waves.
Rogge looked at the woman who had landed on the shore. She was holding a long-handled staff as tall as a person, and was wearing a long silver gauze dress studded with pearls and shells. Her long sea-blue hair and light skirt were fluttering in the sea breeze. The graceful figure is looming under the clear tulle.
"She doesn't look like a monster. Are you sure she is the banshee the villagers call her?" The little owl standing on Rogge's shoulder tilted her furry little head and stared at the beautiful woman with her big shining eyes. the woman asked Roger.
"I think it must be her. Don't be fooled by her beauty. As the proverb says, every man-eating fox has a pretty face!" Rogge said to the two of them while quietly watching the mysterious woman in the distance. When he saw She looked around cautiously and walked southwest along the beach.
"She's leaving, let's follow her and see where she's going!" Rogge waved to the two of them, hunched over and walked out from behind the fishing boat, followed the woman from a distance, and headed along the coastline. Go toward the cliff on the southwest side.
The mysterious woman didn't seem to notice these followers. She walked briskly to the edge of the cliff, turned around a boulder and disappeared from the sight of the three of them. Rogge rushed to the edge of the rock, peeked his head out from behind the rock, and found that the woman had walked into the cliff. In the next deep cave.
"There are no evil monsters in the cave." Rogge took off the silver sword from his back, glanced at the dim sword body, and said softly.
"How do you know?" Catherine asked curiously.
"My sword is made of werewolf claws, and is plated with a layer of pure silver. Not only is it fatal to vampires, but it can also sense the evil breath emitted by monsters. If there are evil monsters in the cave, it will It will emit a dazzling light to remind its owner."
Rogge glanced at the mysterious cave entrance under the dark night, lowered his head, lit a cigar, and told Catherine: "Listen, this is your first time to participate in an action, so you must follow me closely. I don't want your first time to fight. Be the last time!"
"I understand!" Catherine nodded solemnly, took out the loaded silver gun from her waist, checked the bullet bag on her waist, and followed Rogge with the nervousness of her first trial. From behind, he tiptoed toward the cave.
Roger stopped at the entrance of the cave, leaned against the stone wall and looked inside. Seeing that there was no one in the cave, he stepped into the cave, followed by Catherine.
As soon as the two stepped into the cave, a transparent water film suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave behind them, quickly sealing the cave. Lilith screamed, startling Catherine beside her. Before she could shout, a A big hand covered her mouth.
"Quiet, ladies, now is not the time to show off your voice!" Roger calmly stopped Catherine with his eyes, then glared reproachfully at the little owl on his shoulder, waved to Catherine and continued walking deeper into the cave. .
The further inside it became, the darker it became. Catherine felt that she had completely lost her vision. If it were not for the guidance of the cigar flame, she felt that she must have been lost in the darkness.
Unlike Catherine, Rogge, who was walking in front, seemed completely unaffected by the darkness. There was no hesitation or temptation in his steps. He strode forward as if he were walking in his own home, and soon entered the depths of the cave.
After turning a corner, the cave suddenly became very narrow and could only accommodate one person. Roger took the lead and turned in. Catherine, who was following behind, had not yet moved when she suddenly heard a strange scream coming from inside.
A crisp collision followed soon after. Catherine, who was nervous, pressed against the wall tightly and looked inside, but the darkness prevented her from seeing anything.
Suddenly, something was thrown out of the cave. Catherine was startled and hurriedly retreated. A figure then flew out.
The girl subconsciously raised the silver gun in preparation for self-defense, but her hand was pushed to one side first, and then Rogge's voice came: "It's me, now is not the time to smash your own head."
"What happened?" Catherine asked in shock.
"It's a mermaid." Rogge glanced down at the ground. The half-human low-level mermaid soldier that had just been thrown out of the hole was lying at his feet, lifeless. The short trident fell to the ground around the corner.
"Are they that woman's men?"
"I think so. Come on, follow me. We have to go see what these mermaids are hiding here." Rogge turned around and turned into the cave again. Catherine hurriedly stepped over the body of the fish demon and followed closely. .
After walking a few steps, Rogge suddenly swung his sword to stop him, and heard a soft "ding" sound. A harpoon arrow was swung away by the silver sword in Rogge's hand and fell at his feet, but the second arrow The arrow flew towards him again, and Rogge calmly raised his sword to block it. The arrow hit the surface of the silver sword and stirred up a cloud of sparks.
Rogge put down the silver sword in his hand, grabbed one of Catherine's hands with his left hand, aimed at the dark cave ahead, pressed Catherine's soft finger and pulled the trigger.
"Bang", a harsh sound echoed in the cave, and along with the collision sound of the third arrow being shot down, a scream followed, and something fell to the ground.
"Good marksmanship, miss!" Rogge let go of Catherine's hand, flicked the ash from his cigar, and strode deeper into the cave. Catherine stood there with a red face, calmed down, and hurriedly chased Rogge. .
After walking a few steps, Rogge suddenly saw the mermaid soldier whose head was shattered by a silver bullet, which made him even more suspicious. He knew that the mermaid tribe in Icewind Strait rarely appeared on the mainland, and the last time they appeared, It goes back to the war between the human coalition and the vampire army a century ago.
After so many years, why do these guys sneak into human territory?
"What on earth is here that deserves so many soldiers from the mermaid clan to guard it? Who is that mysterious woman? I seem to smell a hint of conspiracy..." Rogge stared at the mermaid corpse at his feet and murmured suspiciously. language.
Passing over the corpse of the low-level mermaid shooter, Rogge continued to move inward. A circular cave soon appeared in front of him. When Rogge reached the entrance of the cave, two mermaid soldiers suddenly flashed out of the cave, holding tridents in their hands. The cold light shone in the darkness and pierced Rogge's chest.
Rogge swung his sword to hold the edges of the two tridents, kicked a mermaid soldier away with a flying kick, grabbed the fallen trident with his left hand and stabbed his companion to death, then pulled out the trident and threw it to The mermaid soldier who was kicked away by him flashed the cold light of his trident and pinned the mermaid soldier to the wall of the cave.
"You finally showed up. I'm still wondering when you will show up again. This time you can't even think of leaving here!"
Hearing the angry roar, Rogge threw away the trident in his hand and looked up at the young woman dressed in tulle. She was standing in front of the wall opposite Rogge holding a long-handled staff. There was a stripe carved on the head of the staff. The winding mermaid, its pearl-encrusted mermaid eyes sparkle in the darkness.
"You insidious thieves, hand over what you stole, don't force me to do it!" The mysterious woman stared at Rogge coldly with her sea-blue eyes, pointed her staff at him with a majestic expression, and shouted sternly.
