"No, it can't be true!" Tali exclaimed, and Antonio looked at her calmly, "I hope it's not true, but the rangers do, and for them personal feelings are above all else!"

He looked up at Murphy with an inquiring gaze, and the adventurer stared silently into his eyes, cold to the words of the Knight Leader.

"Either way, we can't find the truth until we find Rogge!" Antonio got up and asked Douglas, "In which direction did they go?"

The deputy head of the regiment pointed to the west of the jungle: "That's the direction, he is with the girl in the silver and white clothes." ”

"Send someone to transport the body of the deceased back to the Mage Tower, the others will come with me, we must catch up with Rogge!" Antonio gave the order, and the Knights immediately dispatched and chased in the direction where Rog and Catherine had fled.

They soon pursued the deep ravine, and Antonio led the men to the edge of the cliff, and looked around the silent and uninhabited ravine, where there were no footprints on the snow to the left and right, except for a vine twisted into a rope tied to the trunk of the tree, which stretched down to the bottom of the cliff.

Antonio looked down the cliff, and there was silence in the ravine below, with a mess of footprints where the vines had fallen, stretching along the snow at the bottom of the ravine to the boulder where the black-robed man had fallen, but there were no bodies there.

Antonio's eyes were fixed there, and he turned back to Douglas and said, "Send someone there!"

The deputy commander immediately led the men to board the griffins and led a large number of knights to the bottom of the valley, while Antonio, Tully, and Murphy led the rest of the knights from the cliff to watch vigilantly from the bottom of the ravine.

Douglas led the people along the footprints in the snow until they came to the boulder, and when they found that the footprints were interrupted, he had them search for all the places in the vicinity where they could hide people, but they found nothing, so they had to send someone to report back to Antonio.

"Did this guy fly over?" Antonio said to himself in surprise as he glanced at the snowy and misty jungle across the ravine, and said to himself in confusion, "But what about the footprints below? Is there anything down there that is worth studying?"

He raised the question in his heart to Douglas, and the deputy head shook his head again and again: "Commander, I don't think there is anything noteworthy down there, we have searched every inch of land, and there is not even a ghost shadow, I would rather believe that this is Rogge's trick!"

"Anyway, we have to go through this ravine now!" Antonio turned around and ordered loudly, "The Knights set off and continue to search for Rogge's traces!"

Unbeknownst to Antonio, as he was leading the people through the jungle, in a hole in the ground by the side of the path, which was hidden by the trees, Rogge rubbed his sore neck and sat up, and looked helplessly at Catherine, who was also dizzy.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I ......," the girl said, noticing his expression, biting her lip uneasily.

Rogge silently glanced up at the entrance of the cave above, which was four or five meters above the ground, and the entrance was narrow, and it was more difficult to climb up than to climb to the sky.

"Now you know the downside of having a stupid girl around, right?" asked Rogge as the little owl landed above Catherine's head, gloating.

Rogge turned his face to Catherine, and the girl lowered her head in embarrassment, thinking about her unsteady steps and slipping into the pit just now, and dragging Rogge down with her hand, and her heart couldn't help but be full of apologies.

"Forget it, who didn't mess up when they were a rookie? You've done a good job!"

Rogge got up from the ground, turned his head and pinched his waist to stare at the dark hole behind him, and said, "Actually, our luck is not bad, at least there is still a way to go here." ”

"You're not a lone wolf at all, you're clearly a pervert!" the little owl flapped its wings unconvinced, jumped above Catherine's head and shouted: "Favor beautiful girls, regardless of right and wrong, black and white, heavy color over friends, and treat people unfairly!"

"You're right, little darling, that's why you've been in trouble and I've never punished you, you pretty little bird!" Rogge smiled at her and threw a flying kiss to Catherine and Lilith with his hand to his lips.

Rogge's actions made Catherine's cheeks flush, and even though she tried to tell herself that the kiss belonged to the bird above her head, the smile in Rogge's eyes still made her cheeks burn.

"Hey, don't be amorous, that kiss belongs to a beautiful bird, and the silly girl doesn't want to rob me!"

Lilith patted Catherine's head with her little wings, and the awakened girl looked up at her and watched the little owl flap its wings and fly onto Rog's shoulder.

"Don't think that if you say two good words to please me, you can stop me from being fair and strict!" The little owl said in Rogge's ear with a smug face: "It's just that I'm a big-hearted bird, so I don't care about stupid girls!"

"Yes, yes, you're right, my little jungle princess!" Rog smiled and glanced back at Catherine, beckoned to her, and turned to walk into the dark cavern.

"It's a wonderful situation, not only did we not catch the real culprit, but we became suspects and fell into this hole that leads to no one else!" Rogge laughed to himself as he walked.

"What shall we do now?" asked Catherine, who had followed from behind, uneasily.

"Let it be," Rogge said confidently as he looked back at her blushing cheeks, "Don't be afraid, I've seen a lot of things that are more terrifying than the Knights of the Silver Dragon Wings!"

"Mr. Rogge, why should we hide, why don't we hand over that body to the Knights, that would clear our suspicions, and we could track down the black-robed man who had escaped with them. Catherine asked hesitantly.

"The so-called murder suspicion is actually irrelevant. Rogge replied nonchalantly as he looked up at the walls around him.

"I'm already a wanted man anyway, and I don't want to get any understanding, let alone cooperate with the Order, and acting independently will allow me to have a clearer mind and avoid some unnecessary distractions. ”

"Are you worried they're going to help?" asked Catherine, looking at Rogge with a confused expression.

"Stupid, was your head hollowed out by a groundhog when you just fell? he suspected that the Knights, the Mage Tower, and the black-robed villains were all in one group!" Lilith, the little owl perched on Rog's hat, sneered menacingly.

"Shouldn't I feed you?" Rogge pulled out a small piece of magic food from his body and stuffed it into the little owl's mouth.

Lilith held her head high proudly and muttered, "Don't think that bribing me with food can make me silent!" After saying that, she pecked all the dry food in Rogge's hand into her mouth.

While Lilith's mouth was blocked by dry food, Rogge turned back to Catherine and said, "What Lilith said is not entirely wrong, there are traitors in the merfolk and mage towers, and there may not be no ghosts in Antonio's knights." ”

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Otherwise, why would the Knights have been so coincidental to have suddenly appeared nearby just as we were examining Alice's corpse, and how similar are their white cloaks to the white fluff in Alice's fingernails?"

"Do you suspect that it was the Knights who killed Alice?" asked Catherine, surprised.

Rogge bowed slightly: "I can't rule out this possibility, but we don't have evidence now, we can't accuse anyone with just that handful of white fluff, the most appropriate way is to hide in the dark and observe, maybe we can find more conclusive evidence." ”

"You're thinking far," Catherine complimented with an admiring smile.

Lilith interjected unconvinced: "He is clearly cunning and treacherous, scheming, and cunning......"

Before he finished speaking, Rogge raised his hand and pasted her little mouth with dry food: "You can't stop your little villain by eating!"

Seeing this, Catherine lowered her head and snickered, and suddenly, a heavy monster roar came from the deep cave in front of her, and the smile on Catherine's face instantly froze.

"W-What is that?" she asked, looking up nervously.
