Chapter 217: Cold-Blooded Lone Wolf
Seeing Rogge stretch out his hand and draw his sword back, Catherine instantly thought of the injured convict who was beheaded by him, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, she subconsciously rushed forward to pick up Lilith, but saw Rogge's figure rushing past at a gallop.
When Rogge's steps stopped, he was already under a dead tree on the edge of the cliff, the sword in his hand had already drawn a silver line, and a figure in a red robe appeared behind him, a dull-eyed head rolled down from his shoulder, and the whole person turned to dust in the night wind.
"You don't think I'm going to use my sword to cut the little bad bird into slices, do you?" asked Rog as he put away his silver sword and turned past where the dissipated vampire scouts were, returning to Catherine's side as she looked at her hugging Lilith.
Catherine breathed a sigh of relief, glanced down at Lilith's injured arm and asked, "It's good you didn't do that, but Lilith was indeed bitten by a vampire, could there be any problems?"
"If there's a problem, I'd like to ask Miss Tully and Miss Monica to take a look, they're the doctors. Rog brought Tali and Monica to the front and asked them to help Lilith with her wounds, and then said to Catherine, "If you're really worried that the little bad bird will turn into a little bat, you don't have to. ”
"Really, won't Lilith be infected?" asked Catherine with concern.
"Of course, she's just a little bird after all, and that little round ball of flesh is her true face......
"I'm not a round little ball, I'm a slender bird!" Lilith interrupted Rogge.
"Okay, okay, even if you're skinny, you can't be a ball!" Rogge raised his eyebrows back at her and continued to Catherine, "The toxins from vampire bites are only effective against humans, and Lilith is no longer human, so she won't be transformed into a little bat." ”
"That's good, I was worried about it just now, seeing that she and the vampire little maid fought so fiercely, I wanted to go up and help, but I was afraid of being bitten by the vampire, and I didn't dare to shoot, I really didn't know what to do. Catherine said with trepidation.
"You're right, Lilith isn't afraid of being bitten, but you're different, so it's the right thing to do in that situation. Rog said and looked back at Antonio and said, "The captain of the regiment may be able to help Catherine prepare some holy water, in that case, just splash the holy water on the vampire." ”
"Of course, no problem, judging from the current situation, Elizabeth and her men have become more and more active, and we may often fight against the Blood Clan in the future, and we do need to prepare some holy water for backup. Antonio stepped forward and responded.
Catherine nodded gratefully to the Knight Leader, only to see Rogge take off the wolf-eye talisman from his neck, put it on Catherine's neck, and then said: "This talisman was given to me by the old man, it can help people resist the magic invasion of mind control, and you will need it more than me when facing the blood clan." ”
"Thank you!" Catherine held the amulet on her chest with both hands and smiled gratefully at Rogge, Rog patted her shoulder encouragingly, turned to Lilith, Catherine looked down at the wolf-eye amulet, feeling that it still had Rogge's body temperature on it, and her heart was moved.
At this time, she suddenly noticed that Murphy was standing not far away and quietly looking at her, and when his eyes fell on the talisman in Catherine's hand, there seemed to be a touch of unhappiness between her eyebrows, Catherine suddenly understood something, looked at him with some apologies, and walked to his side.
"Are you alright?" Seeing her approach, Murphy immediately wiped all the abnormal expressions from his face and smiled with concern.
"It's okay, I'm ......" Catherine was a little stiff and didn't know what to say, Murphy smiled and shook her head, "No need to explain, as long as you're okay." ”
He lowered his head and paused, then laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's a pity, I'm an amateur when dealing with vampires, if only I could be like Rogge and know how to protect you." ”
"You've saved me many times!" Catherine said to him earnestly.
Murphy smiled and shook his head, carefully covering the amulet under her white coat, and said, "Don't talk about that, as long as you're safe, let's go see Lilith." ”
The two of them turned to Lilith, the bite on Lori's arm and the choke on her body had recovered under the treatment of Tali and Monica, but the hair on her head could not be turned back to its original state, Tali was combing Lori's hair with a fishbone comb, and Lilith was telling everyone how she fought with Annie.
"What a violent bird, fortunately you don't grow up," Rogge couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, "If you can grow up, you can't be like the butcher of the butcher in the market of Deiz City, who chases a guest who kills a copper coin for five streets with a pig-killing knife?"
The people around laughed when they heard this, Lilith looked up at Rogge angrily, and shouted: "Hmph, nonsense, I was there at the time, and the guest didn't give a copper coin at all! The proprietress didn't chase him for five streets, but chased him for four streets!"
"How do you know that the guests are not giving less copper coins? Aren't you busy stealing the hostess's sausage?" asked Rogge, squinting his eyebrows and smirking evilly.
"Because I took the copper coin that was missing!Of course I know!" said little Lori confidently.
"Okay, we've solved the case again!" Rogge smiled at the crowd with his hands outstretched, and when they heard this, they laughed again, and Tali smiled from ear to ear, hugged Lilith and kissed her.
After laughing, Rogge pointed to Antonio in the direction where the tricky maid Anne had disappeared, and said, "Anne has just gone that way, and we had better follow the direction she left, although there may be obstacles on the way, but at least it is better than stumbling into it ourselves." ”
Antonio, along with Murphy and Wolfe, agreed with Rogge's suggestion, and the group immediately set off in the direction Anne had left, and after passing through a barren and dark valley, they came to the mouth of a valley where the sight before them surprised all who could see clearly in the darkness.
The originally narrow valley road expanded into a circular valley from here, and on the flat ground there were wooden frames standing around the stone walls of the valley, and on each shelf hung a person, whose hands were hung above their heads with iron rings, and most of the people's clothes were stained red with blood, which looked very terrifying.
Rog led the group into the valley, and as he went, he looked at the people who were hanging from the shelves, and he saw that some of the people's eyes flashed a fierce red light in the darkness, like hungry beasts ready to pounce on their prey in the night, and the rest of the people mostly hung their heads and did not move.
"Kill them. Rogge turned back to Wolf and said, the werewolf eldest son immediately gave an order to the elite werewolf warriors, and the werewolves were about to make a move, when they suddenly heard a loud shout from behind them: "Stop!"
Rogge looked back and saw David running up to him, and shouted to him anxiously, "What are you going to do? You can't kill these people easily!"
"They're not human anymore, and those with red eyes have become vampires, but they haven't been released yet. Rogge replied coldly.
"And what about the others!" David cried out, pointing to those with their heads bowed, "and there may be survivors among them, you can't kill without discrimination!"
Rogge glanced at him indifferently, and was about to signal Wolf to make a move, when he suddenly heard a cry from a shelf not far away, and everyone heard the sound, only to see a little Lori of the same age as Lilith being hung on the shelf, and was sobbing incessantly.
Seeing this, David hurried in the direction where the little girl was, Wolf frowned, and looked back at Rog with an inquiring gaze, Rogge stood quietly and stared at David's back, and saw him run to the shelf, comforting the crying little Lori, while drawing his sword and cutting the rope that hung her.
He caught the little Lori who fell, whispered a few words to her, and then hugged her back to everyone, he sent the little Lori to Rogge, Rogge glanced at her coldly, and heard David say: "Look at her, she doesn't have any scars on her body, she hasn't been bitten by a vampire at all, do you want to kill such a poor child?"
"Just because you haven't been bitten doesn't mean you haven't been infected and transformed. There was not the slightest pity in Rogge's eyes, and he replied calmly.
"Why are you so cold-blooded!" David pointed at him angrily and shouted, "We witchers hunt vampires to protect those innocents, not to kill innocents indiscriminately, and turn these poor people who should be saved into dead corpses!"
"That's why you're powerless in front of the Bloodline," Rog sneered, turned his back to him, and said, "Because you're so emotional that you can't tell who is the enemy and who is innocent." ”
"What nonsense!" David glared at him angrily, and turned back to Antonio, "Mr. Commander, do you also believe in such cold words, ignoring these people who should be protected, and watching them being killed for no reason?"
Antonio glanced at the people hanging from the shelves around him, and after a moment of silence, he stretched out his hands to David and said, "Show me this child." David handed the little Lori to him, and Antonio and Tali examined the child's body together, and indeed found no wounds left by the bite.
He got up and walked over to Rogge, pulled him aside and whispered, "Maybe we should treat them differently, those who have been transformed must be killed, but the rest of the people should be checked, and if there are no scars on them, we shouldn't just give them up." ”
"You can make your decision, but I won't change my advice, these people should all be killed, that's the only way to save them. Rogge replied stubbornly: "Kill or stay, you decide!"
"Mr. Commander, I suggest you follow Mr. Rogge's advice, he is even more experienced in dealing with vampires than us werewolves. Wolf advised.
"Mr. Commander, you should not let these alien beasts dictate your decisions, in their eyes the safety of our humans is not worth mentioning!" David shouted excitedly, and the werewolves present widened their eyes angrily when they heard his words, but Wolf waved his hand to stop them.
Antonio calmed the excited David and the werewolves, and his eyes fell on those who were hanging on the shelf, he pondered for a moment, and was about to make a decision, when he suddenly heard the little Lori in David's arms cry out tenderly: "Sir......"
