Chapter 296: Thirty years of singleness
"Oh, guys, don't get me wrong, I'm a friend!"
Seeing that he was surrounded, Rog hurriedly threw the voodoo doll he was holding in his right hand back to the fallen lizardmen, then waved his left hand at them in a pretended friendly manner, and smiled with a wink.
The surrounding lizardmen were indifferent to his overtures, staring at him with hostile eyes, their blades glenched in their hands glinting.
Seeing that they didn't react, Rogge lifted his hat and put his right hand into the hat, grabbed the sleeping little furball and stretched it out to everyone, and said loudly: "Brothers have trained so hard, they shouldn't have eaten breakfast yet, right? I brought a delicious little fat bird, does anyone want to taste it?"
"Nasty bad wolf, disturb my sleep again, believe it or not I'll turn you into a fat caterpillar!" The little furball spread its little wings menacingly, glared at Rogge angrily, and suddenly found that there was a circle of lizardmen around him, and suddenly wilted.
"I'm innocent, I don't know anything, there's something you can do with him, it's nothing to do with me!" the little furball shouted as he flapped his wings and flew up, hiding back in his hat with a puff of smoke.
"Well, when it comes to the skills of my teammates, I still can't match you!" Rogonne said to himself with a smile on the lizardmen around him.
At this moment, Sasha, the daughter of the Lizard Great, walked up from the crowd, she stared at Rogge with a pair of angry eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Rogge, my patience with you is limited, I tolerate you lobbying my father on behalf of Gustav, but I will not tolerate you helping my enemies spy on the military!"
"Miss Sasha, if coming here to see your soldiers can be regarded as spying on the military," Rogge smiled unhurriedly, shrugged his eyebrows at Sasha and said, "Then Gustav's soldiers probably have spied on much more military intelligence than I do." ”
"Flim!" Sasha glared at him angrily and shouted, "Catch him for me!"
The lizardman soldiers swarmed up and pounced on Rogge, only to see a corner of the black cloak flashed in front of him, Rogge had already jumped up and stepped on the shoulder of a lizardman, jumped out of the crowd, he landed steadily outside the crowd, waved his hand to the lizardman assault soldiers, and the black shadow disappeared without a trace.
"Don't let him run!" Sasha shouted angrily, and the lizardmen stormtroopers chased Rog in the direction he had run away, and as they swarmed past the path between the tents, Rog's sneaky head was peeking out from behind one of the tents.
"Is the stupid lizard gone?" asked the little furball peeking its little head out from under the black wide-brimmed hat.
"Did you get the thing?" asked Rogge, staring at his bangs with his eyes up.
"Do you need to ask a reliable bird like me?" the little furball squirmed its little ass out from under the hat and landed in Rogge's palm, placing a black crystal in the palm of Rog's hand.
"Good boy!" said Rogge, putting the little furball on his shoulder, looking down and playing with the shiny black crystal, "I stole it from the voodoo doll just now, and we'll bring it back to Tali later, I guess there must be some secret in it." ”
Speaking of this, he looked back at the little furball triumphantly and said, "Then again, I just stole the crystal in a clever way, right? In front of so many lizardmen, no one saw it!"
"After all, it's the speed of being single for thirty years!" the little furball grunted.
"Just you talk a lot!" Rogge pinched the crystal and tapped it on her little head, got up and sneaked towards the Grand Patriarch's tent.
He led Lilith to Antonio's tent after avoiding the pursuing Lizardmen Assault Troo, and just in time to meet the news that Antonio and Tali were waiting for him here, Rog stepped forward and handed the crystal to Tali to see if the crystal had any magic.
As soon as Tali's slender jade fingers touched the surface of the crystal, she felt a strong dark magic surging through her body, she hurriedly let go of her hand, and asked Rogge in surprise, "Where did you get it?"
Rog told the two of them about the origin of the crystal, and heard that it was a voodoo doll from the lizardman assault soldier, Tali and Antonio were surprised, Tali pointed to the black crystal in Rogge's hand and said, "There is a strong dark magic surging in here, it should be something used by dark wizards." ”
"William?!" Rogge and Antonio looked at each other and said in unison.
"No, no, no, no!" Rogge waved his hand and denied: "It can't be William, according to Gustav and Larkin's respective descriptions, this person came to the swamp a few months ago, and it was he who started the war between the two clans, and William was still in the Condor Prison a few months ago, that person can't be him!"
"It could be William's Dark Wizard!" Antonio reminded.
Rogge nodded in agreement, looked down at the black crystal in his palm and said: "If you say so, the complexity of the matter may be beyond our previous imagination, a few months before William's escape, he had already sent people to infiltrate the swamp, it seems that he and his boss behind the scenes are playing a big game of chess." ”
He turned back and brought the crystal to Tali and said, "Can you be sure what this crystal is for?" I also see some magical characters on voodoo dolls, I believe these voodoo dolls must have some kind of evil use, I don't see anything like it in other soldiers. ”
"Can you remember those characters?" Tali asked thoughtfully, "If you can write them out, maybe I can decipher what they mean." ”
"It's as simple as memorizing a big elven dictionary, and the little villain goes and fetches the wooden table over there. Rogge took off his hat and grabbed the little furball and threw it at the table, and the little owl fluttered its wings and landed on the table, looked back at him and said, "It's rude, I don't pay for labor!"
"How about I recite a big dictionary of bird language for you?" Rogge smiled and watched her turn into a little Lori, moved a small wooden table in front of him, and heard her say menacingly: "I don't want to listen, I am more familiar with it than you, and I am like a stream!"
"Then you recite it to me from the beginning. Rogge smiled and took off the glove on his left hand and smiled at her.
"Stupid wolf, I'm talking about reversing backwards, who can carry it from the beginning!" Lilith grimaced at him and threw herself into Tali's arms.
Roger smiled, stretched out his right index finger, and his left hand showed a winged light blade to stab the edge at his finger, blood immediately gushed out of the wound, and Tali on the side was startled and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Writing, there's no pen or paper here, so I'm going to write like this!" Rogge said, stretching out his injured finger and writing the magic charms on the voodoo doll in blood on the table, then turned the table to Tali for her identification.
Tali stared at the characters written in blood on the table, her slender willow eyebrows narrowing and tightening, she muttered thoughtfully, whispering the magical characters on the table, only to see the black crystal on the table suddenly flicker, then dimmed.
"Sister Yu was sweating a lot. Lilith reached out and wiped Tali's forehead with concern, and Tali touched her little face gratefully, let out a long breath, looked up at Roger and Antonio, and said, "It's more serious than we thought. ”
She pointed to the magical characters written in blood on the table and said to the two, "These characters make up an ancient black magic spell, and writing it on the belongings you carry can have a potential effect on people, making them belligerent, swift, and powerful." ”
"That's why the Lizardmen Assault are so powerful?" said Rog with a meaningful nod.
"I think so, not only that, but the voodoo doll itself is a prop for the swamp wizards to perform their sorcery, it can enhance the power of these spells, and even allow the person who wrote the spell to manipulate these people with voodoo dolls. Tali picked up the black crystal on the table and said to the two of them.
"Manipulating these people?" Antonio asked in surprise, "You mean, Sasha and these lizardmen assaulters were manipulated by the dark wizards behind the scenes?"
"No, they shouldn't have completely lost their sense of autonomy by now. Tali shook her head gently and asked Rogge, "Have you noticed anything unusual in their eyes?"
"Their eyes have red pupils, including Sasha, while Larkin and the regular lizardman soldiers have golden eyes. Rog replied after a little recollection.
"Sure enough, the spell has had a potential effect on them, and the manipulators behind the scenes may be using their sights and ears to monitor the place, and these people are also obedient to him, and they don't trust anyone else. ”
Speaking of this, Tali took a deep breath and said, "If the manipulators behind the scenes really activate the spell to control them, they will all take his orders like puppets to kill anyone." ”
"Is this their plan?" Antonio said, looking back at Rogge, "manipulating the lizardmen and gradually corrupting them into their own minions to serve as cannon fodder for the Shadow Fortress." ”
"It's the same as Elizabeth's control of the Gnolls, but Elizabeth clearly did it more thoroughly. Rogge rubbed the stubble on his chin with his hand, thinking as he spoke.
"We need to stop them, we should tell Grand Patriarch Larkin about this as soon as possible, and have all the lizardmen soldiers untie their voodoo dolls. Tali suggested urgently.
"It's not that simple, Sasha probably won't agree, and the man behind the scenes is probably watching everything, if he forces his hands, he may be forced to jump over the wall, after all, we still have to consider Sasha's safety, I don't want Larkin to lose his daughter. Rogge shook his head slowly.
"The stupid dog jumps over the wall and just knocks it down with a stone, it's just weak. Lilith, who was in Tali's arms, interjected with disdain.
Rogge raised his head and glared at her, his gaze suddenly locked on her face, he stared at Lilith for a while, and said with a smile: "You little villain, you always have insight when it matters!"
He rose from the ground and said to Tali and Antonio, "Wait here, I'm going to talk to Larkin and we'll continue our research when I get back." ”
......
In the afternoon of the same day, the great lizard patriarch Larkin suddenly summoned all the high-ranking generals to the Chinese army's tent, and when all the high-ranking generals, including his daughter Sasha, arrived at the Chinese army's tent, Larkin got up and said to everyone: "Everyone, I have gathered you all today to announce an important decision. ”
The people present invariably focused their eyes on Larkin's face, only to see the great patriarch look at the people present with a serious expression, picked up a letter written on the leaf from the wooden table in front of him, and said loudly: "This letter is a truce letter I wrote to Gustav, the great chief of the crocodile tribe, and I have decided to withdraw the whole army early tomorrow morning, and the war will be stopped!"
(On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I will continue to accompany you for the New Year, and I wish you a happy New Year and receive more red envelopes!)
