Chapter 38 - Three people jumping off the bridge

"This is another lesson I'm teaching you! Whether you are a killer or a demon hunter, when you deal with your opponent, don't let your guard down easily, otherwise your precious little life may belong to someone else!"

 

Rogge strode down the wooden stairs, stepped over the goblin corpse and came to Catherine, pulled out the silver sword at her feet and threw it to his left hand, then touched her head with his right hand and said.

 

"Well done, but what you just used was my signature move. You are not allowed to use it without my permission in the future!"

 

"Ah?" Catherine looked at the naughty smile on his lips as he walked by in surprise. She couldn't help but smile. Suddenly she heard Rogge shout: "Stop laughing, little fool. If you don't leave the delicious food at the banquet, It was eaten up!"

 

"Here we come!" Catherine hurriedly held back her laughter and ran to follow her.

 

Rogge took her further into the bottom of the cave. After a few turns around the maze-like bridges, Rogge stopped, pulled Catherine to squat down and said, "There's another guy blocking the road ahead!"

 

"I'm going to kill them!" Catherine took out the bullet bag from her body and loaded the bullets into the gun chamber.

 

"No, not this time, you will mess things up!" Rogge shook his head gently.

 

The girl raised her head unconvinced and looked in the direction Rogge pointed. She saw a large number of goblin soldiers scattered on the crisscrossing bridge not far below, standing side by side in twos and threes.

 

"They are too scattered. Even if the two of us act together, it is impossible to kill everyone at the same time. What's more, this place is very close to the bottom of the cave. There are too many goblins around. Once they make a noise, they will alert others."

 

Rogge turned back and scratched Catherine's little nose with his finger and said: "This is what Master wants to teach you. As a demon hunter, you must learn to assess the situation and not act recklessly!"

 

"I understand! What should we do?" Catherine looked at the teacher respectfully and said.

 

Rogge did not answer immediately. He put his head to observe both sides of the wooden bridge under his feet. He turned to the other side of the bridge and looked down for a while. He turned back to Catherine, took off the dark blue cloak from his shoulders and said, "I have learned Tailor?"

 

"T-tailor?" The girl looked at him in surprise and shook her head in shock.

 

"Yes, I told Miss Tully last time that a witcher must be able to do everything. In addition to playing the piano and painting, tailoring is also very important!"

 

Rogge spread his cloak on the ground, used the silver sword in his hand to cut the cloak into strips of cloth as wide as his forearm, and then tied the strips into a sailor's knot.

 

He used his long sword to pry up a wooden plank from the ground, tied the knot tightly to the log supporting the plank, and threw the other end downward. The knot landed on a wooden plank road close to the cave wall. Far away from the torch, it was dark and there were no people around.

 

"Okay, rappelling is the best way to scare the enemy. Come on, girl!"

 

Roger grabbed the rope and jumped off the plank bridge. Catherine nervously looked down and saw that he was like a dexterous ape, climbing quickly down the knot on the rope.

 

When the rope was about to end, Rogge swung forward, released his hands and fell to the plank road. He curled up in mid-air and rolled forward, falling to the ground silently on his back. He stabilized his body and turned over, facing Catherine. He waved his hand.

 

"Come down, don't be afraid, I will catch you!"

 

Rogge returned to the bottom of the rope, opened his arms and waved to Catherine. The girl fixed the gun on her belt, looked down at the high drop, gritted her teeth, mustered up her courage, grabbed the rope and slid down.

 

At first, she descended very slowly, and the fear in her heart always made her feel that she would fall into the bottomless abyss. However, Rogge's encouragement and the smooth descent gradually helped her regain some courage and began to speed up her descent.

 

When only one-third of the rope in her hand was left, a strange noise suddenly came from above her head. Catherine looked up in surprise and saw that the cloth strips tied to the log had broken due to long-term stress and friction. tear.

 

The shocked Catherine hurriedly accelerated her descent, trying to land before the rope broke, but her rush intensified the tearing of the rope. Accompanied by the sudden sound of the cloth tearing again, Catherine screamed and fell to the bottom of the cave.

 

"Katherine!" Rogge was shocked. He was about to rush forward to catch the fallen Catherine when he saw a black shadow flying quickly from behind the girl. A red light flashed in mid-air, and a girl wearing a black feathered coat flew up with a kick. He kicked Catherine's butt without any bias.

 

This sudden kick immediately changed the trajectory of Catherine's fall. She jumped forward and ran into Rogge's arms, knocking him back a few steps and hitting the wall heavily with her back.

 

"Hey, it hurts! Hey, it's okay, you are such a lucky star!" Rogge grinned, moved his shoulders, lowered his head and touched Catherine's head.

 

The girl raised her head tremblingly, glanced at Rogge who was staring down at her, and suddenly realized that she was lying in his arms, and quickly backed away with a blushing face.

 

Suddenly, a pair of arms covered with black feathers wrapped around Catherine's neck from behind. The panicked Catherine suddenly lost her center of gravity and fell onto her back into the abyss behind her.

 

Rogge hurriedly reached out to grab her, and at the same time grabbed the small arm covered with black feathers, and pulled Lilith off her body.

 

"Little thing, don't cause trouble! Now is not the time for pranks!" Rogge placed Lilith on the plank next to him and said with a serious face.

 

The little Loli looked up at the pale-faced Catherine and said with a naughty smile: "Anyway, if I hadn't kicked her just now, she would have fallen to death. If she had fallen just now, it would mean I didn't kick her." That's a kick!"

 

"But you've already taken advantage of that kick!" Rogge pinched the little girl's cheek and said.

 

He pulled Catherine from the edge of the boardwalk to the side of the wall to prevent her from slipping and falling again. Catherine looked at him gratefully and secretly glanced at the mischievous smile on Lilith's face. She didn't know whether to be grateful for her life-saving grace. , should still be angry for her prank.

 

"How is it? Is the mission completed? Little scout?" Rogge squatted down and touched the little girl's curly black short hair.

 

Lilith pointed to the bottom of the plank road with her little finger and said in a sweet voice: "That bad guy is tied to the pillar below! He will probably be killed for meat soon. Those goblins are lighting a fire. Do they want to eat barbecue?" ?"

 

"Don't think that the goblins are so elegant, they don't have the patience to care about how cooked the meat is!"

 

Rogge walked to the plank road and looked towards the bottom of the cave below. He could vaguely see a huge bonfire rising in the center of the cave bottom. Around the bonfire were erected wooden piles painted with spells and tall towers. Some Goblins wearing strange masks are doing weird dances.

 

"Obviously, they have to offer sacrifices before eating. This custom is common among many races, including advanced races such as elves and humans!"

 

Rogge waved to the two of them and said, "Come on, we can't see clearly here. We have to go to the front and see how that damn unlucky guy is doing now!"

 

"I don't want to walk by myself!" Lilith waved her little hand and turned into a little owl. She flapped her wings and flew to Rogge's shoulder. Rogge gave her a helpless look, then turned around and asked Catherine: "What about you, I have another one. Shoulders, do you want to come up too?"

 

Catherine shook her head shyly. The blush on her face had not faded from Rogge's hug just now, and her heart was beating wildly in her chest.

 

The two of them moved forward along the plank road, using the cover of the shadows to avoid the sight of the goblin sentries in the distance. They came to a place where they could clearly see the situation on the ground floor. They saw the man in black tied to a rope. On the log pillar, although he struggled hard, he could not break free from the rope.

 

"How are we going to save him?" Catherine looked at the countless hordes of goblins below and looked back at Rogge worriedly.

 

Rogge frowned and scanned the situation on the field. Before he could make a decision, a goblin suddenly walked toward the man in black with murderous intent, and a shining bone-cutting knife was revealed in his hand.
