Hearing this, Rogge and the others saw a person emerge from the gap in the dimension that was about to close, wearing a black top hat, a black tuxedo, and a short cane in his hand, with a cynical smile on his handsome face.

"Why are you here?" asked Rogge, surprised as he stepped forward and patted the man on the shoulder.

"Ah, can't I come if you don't bring me along?" Locke raised his eyebrows at Rogge and said with a triumphant smile: "I heard on the street that you have returned victorious, so naturally I want to follow you into the palace to have a look, since you are all here, how can I not come and join in the fun?"

"How can you kid be so curious, what is it for?" asked Rogge, looking at him with a slanted eyebrow.

"There must be benefits, everyone has a share, so why bother?" Locke glanced back at the northern forest and said, "Aren't you looking for the ruins of Raphael's Castle? I know where it is, I've been there." ”

"What are you doing there, can't you be teasing the Duchess?" asked Rog with a wicked smile as he looked at Catherine, who had come up from behind.

"Am I like that, don't ruin my reputation in front of Miss Catherine!" Locke greeted Catherine with a smile and glared at Rogge.

"Your reputation is still ruined, and it's not much better than mine. Rogge muttered, and then asked, "Seriously, do you really know the way?"

"Of course, come with me!" Locke beckoned to everyone, reached out to take Catherine's hand and walked north, Rogge smiled and shrugged, and heard the little furball on his hat mutter, "Stupid girl is going to be tricked by the bad guy." ”

"Hasn't she been deceived a long time ago?" Rogge said as he followed, "Is there a worse Shu Huang in this world than me?"

A group of six people walked through the wilderness outside Milan into the northern forest, the large forest is vast, but the trees are not dense, and the sun of late summer and early autumn shines on the glade, and the insects and birds chirp to add to the silence of this uninhabited forest.

After walking for a long time, the terrain in front of me suddenly sank into a huge pit surrounded by forests, and at the bottom of the pit was a wide and barren land, with broken bricks and statues scattered everywhere on the wasteland, and a collapsed castle was like a hill in the center of the pit.

"This is the ruins of Fort Raphael, how does it look?" Locke asked, standing on the edge of the pit, looking back.

"Not well, little mice won't like it here. The little furball said as he lay on Rog's hat and looked around.

"I think it's very uncomfortable here, too," Catherine nodded approvingly, "and there's grass all around, but there's no grass growing underneath, which makes it feel weird." ”

"That's right, because this is a cursed land. Locke raised his hands and pretended to be a ghost and said to Catherine, "Beware of ghosts coming out of the ground and taking you away!"

"Save your ghost story, it's useless to fool children!" Rogge slapped Locke on the back of the head and strode down the pit, Antonio and Tali following closely and Catherine smiling and chasing after him.

"This bastard, tear down my platform again!" Locke glanced at Rogge, shrugged his shoulders and muttered to himself.

The group descended down the bumpy ramp to the bottom of the pit, and Antonio and Catherine helped the impaired mermaid over the boulders and broken statues and pillars, and followed Rog to the ruins of the castle, and they circled around the ruins, and found a gate standing behind the ruins.

"It's strange why hasn't this door fallen?" Tully was surprised to see that there were no walls around the gate to support it, and the two heavy iron doors stood in place without a door frame, looking majestic like two loyal guards.

"This is the strange thing about here," said Locke, who followed from behind, pausing beside Tali, "the people of Milan and the nearby villages believe that this is the result of a curse, and the Duke cursed her wife before she died that she should never leave the castle, and that a closed gate means eternal imprisonment." ”

"And what if we open this door?" asked Antonio, looking up at the towering gates.

"Nobody knows, the locals never open it, and everyone thinks something terrible might happen. Locke said with his cane in both hands, looking at Catherine and Tully beside him with a cautious expression.

"We've seen the most terrible thing," said Rogge, pausing in front of the gate, looking up at the weather-beaten relief, "from Leviathan to Hydra, but we're all alive, let's see what the hell is hiding behind these two doors." ”

"Maybe it's just a pile of broken dirt behind the door. Little Furball grunted disdainfully.

"Possibly, baby, may your crow's beak work!" Rogge reached out and pressed against the surface of the door, and before he could push it inward, the door opened automatically with a bang.

Rog stepped back and looked up at the open door with Antonio and the others, and they saw a red-carpeted passage appear in front of them, but Catherine, who was standing on the side, clearly saw only a pile of rubble formed by the collapsed castle behind the door.

"What's going on?" Catherine hurriedly told the others about the situation, and Rogge smiled at Locke, "It seems that you are right, these are indeed two cursed gates, and this castle is a tomb, and these two doors are the entrance to the tomb. ”

"Is the Duchess really still alive in it?" Tully looked at them in surprise, and Rogge and Locke looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders and said, "It's possible, who can say for sure?"

Rog walked into the gate first, Tali and Catherine followed, Antonio and Locke broke off for the girls at the end, and when they stepped into the gate, the gate slammed shut, and when everyone hurriedly looked back, the gate was closed, and the corridor was plunged into darkness.

Rog, Antonio, and Tali lit up the surroundings with their weapons, Locke conjured a small oil lamp from his body and hung it on his cane, and the group used the light to advance deeper into the corridor, and after walking for a while, the little furball suddenly said to Rogge, "There is a smell of bad bats here." ”

Rogge stopped and sniffed the air, except for a rotten smell of the absence of sunlight, he did faintly smell the scent left by the vampire, but the smell was very faint and was gradually dissipating.

"It seems that Prince Gurman did come here, and maybe they are still inside. Rogge turned back to Antonio.

"Then let's hurry up and catch up, maybe we can stop them in time. Antonio nodded in response.

The group quickened their pace and soon came to the end of the corridor, where they saw that the wall in front of them was flanked by two identical doors, the doors were made of thick rock, heavy and tight, and a line was written on the wall between the two doors: one of these two doors is full of treasure, the other is full of death, if you can open it, please make your choice.

Above the two doors, a lowercase letter L is written, the two letters are in exactly the same position, and there are no different signs around the doors, only two different paragraphs written on the surface of the two doors.

The door on the left is inscribed with the following line: This door is the door of the guardian angel, which protects purity and purity, because they are very susceptible to erosion and decay, just like us.

On the door on the right is inscribed another line: This door is the author's door, it is written with splendor and glory, but they are often distorted and abused, just like us.

Rogge and the others stood in front of the two doors, looking at the door on the left and then at the door on the right, and felt that there was no difference between them, the words on the door read out in an incoherent manner, and they couldn't see that it had anything to do with the way they were distinguished.

"Do you know why I didn't come in when I came here?" Locke sighed helplessly beside Rogge and said, "I hate charades, there are always riddles like this, and if you can't guess it, you're stuck here, so I didn't come in." ”

"But you're following up now. Rog's eyes glanced back and forth between the left and right doors, and he replied in thought.

"Yes, that's because of you, an expert in guessing puzzles, guess well, and guess the answer to the riddle early!" Locke patted Rog on the shoulder with a wicked smile and turned to walk away.

"Did you think of anything?" Antonio glanced at Locke, who was walking towards Catherine, and stepped forward to give Rog's expectant gaze to his face.

Rogge looked up and pointed to the letter L above the two doors and said, "See? That letter L is the wheel that has been turned, and I guess we need to turn the wheel to open the door, and then we need to choose a way to go." ”

Antonio curiously glanced up at the letters above the stone door, and found that within the same width as the door frame, there was a row of ten raised wheels, he raised the sacred spear in his hand and carefully touched the edge of the letter L, and found that it could not move, but the other wheels next to it could turn the letters.

"Sure enough, it's rotatable. Antonio turned back to Rogge and said, "Are you going to make us spell out the word that represents the gate?"

"Obviously," Rogge nodded slightly in agreement, but his frown remained unfurled, "But before that, we must first distinguish the difference between these two doors, otherwise even if we open the door, we will enter a dead end." ”

"What do you think of the riddles on these two doors?" Antonio looked at him with a confused expression, hoping that he would come up with an explanation, but Rogge kept frowning and shook his head silently.

Antonio had no choice but to quiet down, leaving him to think on his own, and he crept up to Tali, where he heard her telling Catherine about the curse of Castle Raphael, and Locke stood on Catherine's other side to help replenish it.

"The Duke and the Lady are so pitiful," Catherine couldn't help but sigh when she heard the end of the story, "It's all to blame on that hateful noble lady, who ruined the family of a good pair of lovers, and I don't know if the Duchess understands the inside story and has she sought revenge on her?"

"Then no one knows, it's a legend after all. Tali shook her head and sighed.

"I don't understand the rich man's world!" said the little furball that flew from Rogge's hat and landed on Catherine's head, "How come no one has given me so much gold to harm me?"

Catherine couldn't help but be amused by her, she took Lilith off her head and held it in her hand and smiled: "I believe that even if you give Lilith more money, don't want her to fall into a trap stupidly, after all, you are the smartest bird!"

The little furball held his little head high triumphantly, puffed out his little wings and turned back to Rogge and shouted: "Did the bad wolf hear it, the stupid girl admits that I am the smartest bird!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Rogge jerked his head up, stared at the two closed doors in front of him and said, "I know!"
