Chapter 24 - Silencing

"I have attended many vampire banquets."

 

Rogge calmly inserted the silver sword in his hand on the ground, took out a cigar from his tobacco bag, and calmly lit it while saying: "Just one night not long ago, I still clearly remember Norman The enthusiasm of the lord and Butler Klaus."

 

"However," he put the cigar to his lips, glanced up at William, raised his thick eyebrows and said, "I didn't hear him talk about the news that the dark wizards were authorized to join the vampire clan, and he pretended to be so powerful. It would be disrespectful to the vampires to wave the banner of light."

 

"Hahahaha!" The four William's heard the words and laughed up to the sky at the same time. They clapped their hands and said with a smile: "Lone Wolf is indeed well-deserved. I don't doubt that your relationship with the vampires is much closer than mine with them. After all, I am in the prison of the empire. It has been sleeping for a century."

 

"That suits you very well, just like vampires should stay in their sarcophagi forever, lest I have to kill them one by one." Rogge reached out and picked up his silver sword, stroking Guang Ke with his hand. The blade of the sword that appraises people.

 

"What about you? You have been wanted by the empire for ten years. Do you want to continue to be a lone wolf who is tired of running for his life?" William revealed his red eyes from the black shadow of the hood and stared at Luo Luo with deep meaning. Ge asked.

 

"A lone wolf is a helpless choice, but even if you have to choose an ally, a wolf will only stay with its own kind, instead of choosing to ally with lonely ghosts..." Rogge closed his eyes gently and lowered his head. Meaningfully: "Because the latter does not deserve loyalty."

 

"In this case, the only way is to turn the lone wolf into a wolf soul..." There was a stern sneer in William's voice. Almost at the same time, Rogge's eyes suddenly opened and he replied coldly: "Even if Turned into a soul, the wolf is still a wolf!"

 

Before he finished speaking, he had already flung himself to the right, leaped out several meters away with lightning speed, and stabbed William's head with the silver sword in his hand, as cold as the bright moonlight.

 

There was a sound of tearing cloth, and the surrounding phantoms instantly dissipated. William's true body took three steps back, and the hood on his head was torn open by the sword.

 

"A lone wolf is a lone wolf. You are the first person since my debut who has not relied on magic to see through my true identity." William slowly raised his head, facing Rogge's cold gaze, a mask depicting a white skull. caught Rogge's eyes.

 

"It's a pity that I still haven't been able to tear off that grimace of yours." Rogge took back the silver sword in his hand and stared at William's ferocious skull mask.

 

The dark wizard smiled meaningfully and said: "Maybe there will be one day, but definitely not today. We will see you later, lone wolf!"

 

After saying this, William's figure dissipated in a black mist. Roger twitched his nose gently, catching William's breath in the air, but except for the aroma of cigars and the smell of grass and trees, he could no longer find anything about William. message.

 

"That's why I hate dealing with dark wizards!"

 

Rogge put the silver sword behind his back, put the cigar to his lips and took a deep breath. He blew out a smoke ring and turned back to Catherine: "These guys always like to hide. Every time I finish a cigar, , they disappeared without a trace!"

 

"Are you sure they weren't run away by your smoke? Mr. Bacon, what flavor of tobacco did you buy this time? Is it cow dung?" The little owl coughed and flapped its wings, squawking with disgust. road.

 

Rogge turned around and blew out a small smoke ring at her. He looked at the little guy's body passing through the smoke ring and replied lightly: "Actually, it smells like bird droppings. How about it? Do you like it?"

 

The little owl flapped its wings to disperse the smoke rings, then swooped and cut half of the cigar from Roger's mouth, and the burning part fell at Roger's feet.

 

"Just right, keep this half for next time." Roger clamped the remaining half of the cigar to his ear, turned around and said to Catherine: "Let's go, we've been delayed long enough, go this way, We should still be able to catch up with those men in black robes who left!"

 

The two of them followed the direction in which the three black-robed men left and quickly left the woods and returned to the snowfield. Rogge released the little owl and asked her to conduct reconnaissance in the air, and soon discovered the three black-robed killers. figure.

 

After receiving the report, Rogge and Catherine quickened their pace and followed the three of them from a distance. They relied on the aerial reconnaissance of the little owl to determine their position. After a period of trekking, they approached the Yeti Forest northwest of the City of Light.

 

The two men followed three men in black and had just entered the forest when they suddenly heard the sound of flapping wings in the sky. Roger pulled Catherine and hid under a big tree. He used the shadows to hide his body. He looked up and saw the shadows of the trees above his head. Flying past a group of behemoths.

 

"It's the griffins. Antonio can move very fast!" Rogge said as he looked in the direction of the three mysterious people. He found that the three of them were also hiding behind two big trees, sneaking towards the lions. He looked in the direction where the eagle knights were flying.

 

Suddenly, the little owl landed silently, and its two red claws landed on Catherine's head, and the sharp points stabbed her head hard.

 

"I found that fish!" Lilith folded her wings and said nonchalantly, as if her bullying of Catherine had never happened at all.

 

Catherine raised her head and glared at her in disgust, and wanted to reach out to catch her, but she dodged and flew onto Roger's hat.

 

"Those guys have also taken action, let's follow them!" Rogge glanced at the backs of the three mysterious men as they left, waved to Catherine, and the two followed behind them quietly.

 

After walking in the silent mountains and forests for a while, Roger and Catherine stopped behind a small bush covered with snow.

 

They carefully revealed their eyes from behind the bushes and saw three mysterious men surrounding a woman in the middle of a forest clearing from three directions, and that woman was the Alice they were looking for.

 

"Miss Alice, I'm so glad we meet again!" One of the tall, thin men in black robes who looked like a leader stepped forward and said to Alice.

 

"I thought you escaped without a trace!" Alice said in surprise and anger: "What did you promise me? Why wasn't Tully killed?"

 

"Please don't be anxious, Miss Alice, we are here specifically to help you!" The leader still lowered his head slightly, his entire face hidden in the shadow of the hood.

 

He extended his black-gloved right hand to Alice and said, "Although we are temporarily unable to help you ascend to the position of guardian of the temple, we will still ensure your safety and help you eliminate your opponents."

 

"I hope so. Tully and Rogge have been chasing me on the island. We'd better get out of here quickly!" Alice said worriedly as she walked towards the black-robed leader.

 

"You don't have to worry, no one can threaten you, please come with us!" The leader in black robe walked towards Alice and asked at the same time: "By the way, have you ever mentioned us to them?"

 

"Of course not. Even if I tell them, they won't let me go. By then, won't I become an isolated fool?" Alice frowned and stared at the leader of the men in black robes, distrusting his words. was very annoyed by the inquiry.

 

"Sorry, miss, I didn't doubt your intentions. I just want to know how much our opponents know about us. In this case, things will be much easier to handle!" the black-robed leader said softly with a smile, and said "please" with his left hand. gesture.

 

Alice was about to leave with him, but unexpectedly, the leader in black robe suddenly turned his left hand to her chest, and a sharp knife was exposed from his sleeve, which he stabbed straight into her chest.

 

Alice was startled and hurriedly stepped aside. The knife pierced her shoulder. Alice lost her balance and fell to the ground clutching the wound.

 

"Why? Why are you doing this?" Alice gritted her teeth in pain and looked up at the leader in black robes. The other two men in black robes also gathered around her, surrounding her.

 

Just listen to the black-robed leader's evil voice and laugh: "Because you are no longer useful, just like the greedy village chief of the fishing village, death is the best destination for you, because the dead will never reveal secrets!"
