"Miss Tully, please don't forget that Antonio is a close associate of the Holy Emperor. I don't dare to expect that he will speak for me in front of the Grand Master." Faced with Tully's suggestion, Rogge decisively opposed it.
"I think we should give it a try. Now is not the time to differentiate between factions. Finding the whereabouts of the sacred artifact is the key!" Tully advised in a sincere tone.
Rogge smiled mockingly upon hearing this, shook his head and said, "Since Miss Tully thinks she needs the help of the Knights, it seems we should say goodbye!"
After saying that, he walked straight out of the prison, touched Lilith's head and said, "Hey, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for the gryphon to eat you?"
The little Loli looked up at Tully, then glanced at Rogge's back, then spread her legs and ran after Rogge. Catherine also hurriedly followed, leaving Tully and Murphy alone.
Upon seeing this, Tully wanted to call out Rogge, but was stopped by Murphy: "Miss Tully, you don't have to try to persuade him. If you knew about the ten-year grudge between Rogge and the Holy Society, you wouldn't He will be advised to cooperate with the knights who are most loyal to the Holy Emperor."
"But, this is for the greater good!" Tully said with a worried look.
Murphy laughed when he heard this: "The overall situation is meaningless to us. We are rangers, not consuls. Our first priority is our own survival."
"What about you? Are you going to follow him and leave?" Tully turned around helplessly and asked Murphy.
The adventurer smiled and shook his head and said: "If I want to leave, now that I am no longer in front of you, I am willing to accompany you to meet the leader. At least there is no grudge between me and him."
"Then they..." Tully glanced hesitantly at the direction Rogge left, and Murphy smiled confidently: "Don't worry, if we are destined, we will see them again."
On the other side, Rogge took Lilith and Catherine out of the prison tower quickly without disturbing the drunken magician.
Rogge released the little owl under the tower and asked her to find the warehouse where the seized items were stored. He took Catherine and moved forward carefully under the cover of the night.
"Are we leaving here like this?" Catherine, who was following Rogge, said hesitantly: "Miss Tully still needs your help, at least I think so."
"Of course she needs me, baby." Rogge replied in a soft voice that Catherine could barely hear clearly: "The guys from the Knights alone can't solve this matter - oh, if the leader hears this , I will definitely have another crime recorded in my notebook!"
When Catherine heard him teasing Antonio, she couldn't help but hide her face and laugh. Unexpectedly, Rogge suddenly reached out and grabbed her, pressing her body tightly against the wall. He also leaned against the wall and hid in the shadows, whispering to her. He let out a soft "shh" and pointed to the top of his head.
Catherine looked up carefully and saw a pair of huge demon wings landing on the city wall above the two of them. The shining magic crystal on the top of the tower illuminated its complete appearance - a ferocious monster over three meters tall and completely black. .
The monster stood on the city wall, its two blood-red eyes scanning the city like searchlights. Roger and Catherine, who were directly below it, stood quietly against the wall, quietly observing its actions.
The girl didn't dare to breathe loudly for fear of alarming the ferocious monster. It wasn't until she heard the sound of flapping wings that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What is that? How could there be such a monster in the Mage Tower?" Catherine raised her head and glanced at the empty city wall. The monster had disappeared without a trace. She looked away and asked Rogge softly beside her.
"That's a gargoyle. It's similar to a rock golem. It's a stone statue resurrected through magic. However, this guy is more difficult to deal with than a rock golem. He can switch between flesh and blood and stone statues at any time. Not only does his body become abnormal after turning into stone, It's strong and can heal wounds."
At this point, Rogge suddenly closed his mouth. He heard a whistling sound above his head, and a gargoyle flew over at lightning speed.
Rogge watched its back and continued to say to Catherine: "The great magicians of the Mage Tower use these guys to patrol the entire island and the City of Light, and they can also serve as soldiers to fight when necessary."
"No wonder the great magician came to Stonehenge and blocked our way out!" Catherine suddenly realized.
"You're such a smart girl. If this continues, you will steal all my abilities!" Rogge joked approvingly, turned and left with a smile. Catherine blushed shyly, and took three steps together. He followed him at a trot.
The two quickly approached the large square in front of the mage tower. Roger and Catherine hid in the alley and looked at the gryphon knights in the square, but did not find Antonio. He focused his gaze on the towering mage. On the tower, it is guessed that Antonio must be meeting with the Grand Master in the conference room at this moment.
Suddenly, a little owl landed on his shoulder from the sky and chirped: "I found it, found it! All our things are there! Only an old man with a big nose is looking after it, and there are a lot of delicious food inside!"
"You must have eaten it yourself again!" Rogge looked at the little guy with side eyes, and the little owl replied unconvinced: "No! I clearly left a lot of delicious cookie crumbs for you!"
"I knew you were a kind little bird!" Roger rolled his eyes at the little guy, turned back to Catherine and said, "Let's go, let's get our things back first!"
They took a roundabout way and came to the vicinity of the warehouse. Rogge observed the surrounding situation and saw that there was no one around, so he released the little owl and used the fixing light emitted from the little guy's eyes to easily knock down the magician guarding the door.
"It's really a lax defense. I'm afraid the Mage Tower hasn't been attacked by foreign enemies for many years. Sooner or later something big will happen if this continues!" Rogge said to Catherine while pushing open the door of the warehouse and removing the fainted magic. The division dragged it into the warehouse.
The two followed the little owl who led the way and walked past rows of shelves neatly arranged with magic scrolls, robes, staffs, magic crystals and other items. They soon saw an empty shelf with Rogge's silver sword on it. , Catherine's twin guns, Murphy's scimitar and Tully's mermaid staff.
"We only take our own things! Leave the rest to the great magicians!"
Rogge stepped forward and picked up the silver gun and handed it to Catherine. He put the silver sword on his back, then took the cigar bag and tied it to his belt. He took out a cigar from it and was about to light it. Suddenly he raised his head and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Catherine immediately became nervous when she noticed the abnormality. She looked at Rogge uneasily with her eyes. Rogge turned around and looked around and said softly: "There is something inside here. It is observing us secretly. I underestimated this place." defense..."
He lit the cigar in his hand, brought it to his lips, took a puff, and said meaningfully: "If I'm not wrong, trouble is coming!"
Before he finished speaking, a black shadow fell from the sky and threw Rogge to the ground. Rogge grabbed its arm, rolled it on the ground a few times, and threw it away, knocking a row of shelves over to the ground.
"Is that... a gargoyle?" Catherine watched in surprise as Rogge stood up from the ground. Not far in front of him, a huge gargoyle stood up from the ground and stared at the two of them with a pair of blood-red eyes. , opened his big mouth to reveal two rows of protruding buck teeth, and let out a terrifying roar.
The panicked Catherine raised the silver gun in her hand and was about to shoot the gargoyle, but Roger reached out and pressed the muzzle of her gun and said: "Don't shoot, the fire gun is meaningless to the gargoyle, it will only attract more enemies." There are too many enemies, you hide aside and I will deal with them myself..."
Before they finished speaking, another black shadow whizzed past the two of them. The two of them hurriedly lowered their heads to avoid it. When they raised their heads to look, they found another gargoyle appearing on the ground to the right of the two of them.
"Okay, I take back what I said, get a sword from the shelf over there, kid, I hope you know how to use that weapon!"
Rogge took a long sip of his cigar, pointed to the shelf on the right that was filled with long swords, stared at the third gargoyle that landed again, and murmured softly: "We are in big trouble this time!"
