Chapter 155: The Great Liar and the Ghost Shadow

"Captain, you cover us in the back, and if someone shows up, you shoot and 'shoot', but try not to attack the vital points. Jr-79-" Rog leaned over to the dwarven captain beside him, who shook his long beard and nodded in agreement.

"Murphy, help me cover the flanks, let's go over and have a look. Rog straightened up and whispered to Murphy beside him.

Before Murphy could answer, Rogge's figure had already rushed through the bushes in a flash, Murphy looked at the direction he left in a daze, slanted his eyebrows and muttered, "Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

He drew a lightning sword and leaped over the bushes to Rog's side, and saw him staring at the dissipating cloud of smoke not far ahead, in which there seemed to be a vague figure, but it quickly dissipated with the smoke.

"What's that?" Murphy asked Rogge with concern.

"I don't know, I didn't see him, but I'm sure it's a man, a ghostly person. Rogge crouched down and looked at the footprints left on the dirt floor.

Murphy leaned over with him to gaze at the footprints left by the other, large, slender, about forty yards long, the upper of the shoe sinking deep into the mud, and there was a gap between the heel and the sole.

"It should be a man, about thirty years of age, with a strong build, wearing a pair of boots, a black 'colored' bodysuit, and perhaps a black cloak, 'masked'. Rogge said as he stared down at the pair of footprints.

"How do you know?" Murphy asked, looking at him in surprise, "just a pair of footprints?"

"Yes, that's obvious. Rogge pointed to the footprints and said: "First of all, the footprints are very large, the foot is wide and the foot is slender, the feet of 'women' can rarely reach such a size, the heel is sunken means that they are not wearing flat shoes, and high heels are boots except for dancing shoes, do you think there will be a princess wearing dancing shoes here?"

Murphy suddenly realized, and heard Rogge continue: "The shoe print is very deep, indicating that this person is very heavy, but he is not a fat man, because a fat man can't wear long boots, and his ankles will be stuck in the boot shaft." ”

"So, he should be a strong man, the reason why I guess he is in his thirties is because this age is the age when a man's muscles are the strongest, believe my brother, when you reach the age of thirty, you will definitely weigh much more than you do now. ”

Rogge raised his head and looked around at the surrounding jungle and said: "This place is far away from the human town, and it has been mined by dwarves for many years, and there are very few wild animals, so it won't be a hunter, it may be some kind of scout, the scout must be wearing a straitjacket, especially at night with a black cloak is a good cover, do you need me to explain why you want to 'mask'?"

"What do you think they want to do?" Murphy couldn't help but be vigilant when he heard Rogge's analysis, he glanced at the surrounding nightshaded jungle, and whispered, "Could it be William's black-robed man?"

"Do you think the black-robed man has the ability to run away from under our noses so that we can't even see the shadows?"

Rogge shook his head meaningfully, gave Murphy a 'look' and said, "Those black-robed men are just temporary mercenaries, if it is really William's man, I think he has already transferred reinforcements from the 'Yin' Shadow Fortress." ”

"Perhaps you should contact Master Augustine, the Grand Druid should have a way to keep an eye on these scouts and their masters. Murphy whispered in Rogge's ear.

"Let's go back and meet you first. Rog and Murphy got up casually and left the bushes to return to the Dwarven Captain Firebolt, who did not give the captain a detailed explanation, only told him that there were footprints left by a suspicious person, but that the person was gone.

When the three of them returned to their resting group, Rog and Murphy told Catherine, Tully, and Sophia about their discovery, and Catherine asked, "Could it be that the dark wizard made a ghost and summoned a golem to attack the dwarf's castle?"

"I can't rule it out, but we can't say for sure yet. Rogge looked around at the crowd and said, Tali asked worriedly, "Then what should we do now?

"Of course, we have to go into the mine 'hole' to find the trapped dwarves first, and then find out where the golem came from. Rogge turned back and pointed in the direction of the ventilated 'hole' and said, "We have found the 'hole' over there, although the 'hole' is a little small, but I believe it is not a problem for us. ”

He led the regrouped team to the mouth of the 'hole', and saw that the mouth of the 'hole' was relatively narrow, and the three slender girls could barely climb into it, while some of the heavy-loaded, pot-bellied dwarves could not stuff themselves into it.

Just when everyone looked at the 'hole' and frowned, Rogge stepped forward and cautiously stretched out his hand to Lilith, who was lying on Catherine's head and squinting, and just as his hand was close to the little owl, the little 'hairy' ball suddenly turned its head and pecked at his hand violently.

"Hey, don't be like that, be friendly!" Rogge said to the bird with a smile as he quickly withdrew his hand.

"Big liar, don't come near me, don't talk to you!" the little 'hairy' ball moved his little ass and turned his body around.

Rog looked down at Catherine, who was snickering, grimaced at her, rolled his eyes, turned to Tali's side, bowed his head and said a few words to her, Tali immediately summoned the lamp god, and whispered something to it, and the little owl on the side secretly noticed the appearance of the lamp god, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

After a while, Rogge walked up to Catherine's side and stuffed something into her hand, the 'girl' looked down curiously and saw a piece of dark chocolate in her hand, she smiled at Roger with emotion, put the chocolate into her mouth, and felt a fragrant silky enjoyment.

Rog stood silently beside Catherine and put the chocolate into his mouth, and the little 'hairy' on Catherine's head watched him and Catherine share the chocolate with their eyes, and the saliva flowed like a flood that burst the embankment, and finally shouted at Rogge: "What about mine? Where's my chocolate?"

"Ahh

The little 'hairy' ball stared at him pitifully, a pair of teary eyes flashing with pleading and anticipation, Rogge looked at her for a moment, nodded and said, "It's okay, it's okay to give it to you, you have to do me a favor." ”

"Yes, yes, say it quickly!" said the little owl, jumping up from Catherine's head, impatiently.

"Make everybody smaller so we can get in through the ventilated 'hole' and turn us back when we get into the mine 'hole'. Rogge shook the remaining piece of chocolate in his hand and said, "Promise me, these are yours!"

"Words count!" Lilith hurriedly cast a witchcraft, turning the dwarven firecracker and Rogge and others into tinkers the size of fingernails, and then flew up to Rogge and said anxiously, "Okay, give me the chocolate!"

"Are you sure you're going to eat something so small?" Rogge shrugged as he looked up at the giant little owl like a phoenix, holding up the little chocolate in his hand that was barely visible to the naked eye.

The little owl blinked blankly, and heard Rogge shout, "Turn us back first, you little fool!"

She hurriedly changed Rogge and Catherine back to their original state, Rogge broke the chocolate in his hand in half and divided it between her and Catherine, and then asked her to make herself smaller again, Lilith turned into a little Lori and took the chocolate, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you say that it was all mine? Why is there still a stupid girl?"

"Because as I just said, these are 'yours'! You little anxious 'character' who doesn't listen to people well!"

After Rogge finished speaking, he strode towards the entrance of the 'hole', and at the same time beckoned the others to enter the 'hole' together, Catherine, who was following Rogge, looked back at Lilith who was stunned in place, and heard little Lori muttering: "I seem to have been deceived by the bad wolf again?"

"Mr. Rogge, I think I can help. At this time, Monica, a little 'flower' spirit who was almost the same as Rogge, fluttered her wings and flew to him, and Rogge looked at this beautiful little fairy for the first time, and asked curiously: "Of course you can, Monica, what do you want to do?"

Monica turned her back to the sky, stretched her arms and two pairs of willow wings, and whispered a spell, and a large number of fireflies flew out of the grass in all directions, gathering around everyone, Monica smiled and said to Rogge, "Please ride on their backs, so that your movement will be much easier!"

"Thank you, Monica!" Rogge asked everyone to climb on the back of the fireflies, and climbed on the back of the little owl himself, letting Lilith and Monica lead the way, and the fireflies flew behind them into the "hole" and "hole", and the narrow and dark "hole" and "hole" were illuminated by this glittering fire.

The little owl and Monica flew into the winding and rugged 'hole' with the swarm of fireflies, through the passage of silence and darkness, and flew out of the 'hole' that 'exposed' in a high wall, and a dark and narrow circular mine 'hole' appeared in their eyes.

The center of the cave is supported by wooden stakes, the walls are lined with various mining and transportation tools, and the ground is littered with rubble and broken crystals, and a small cart full of crystals is lying on the ground, and the crystals in the cart are scattered all over the ground.

"There are two 'holes' in front of us, where should we go?" asked Monica, the little 'flower' Ling, as she flew up to Rogge's side.

Standing on Lilith's back, Rog saw through the inky darkness and saw clear ruts on the ground, and he sent Lilith to fly to the crooked minecart, where he saw the 'hole' and 'door' on the left side of its cart, with deep rut marks under the cart, and the ruts on the side near the wall next to it were shallow.

"This cart is full of ore, it should be a minecart transported outward, the rut under it is very deep, indicating that the minecart will pass through this side, and the shallow rut next to it should be the route when the empty cart returns, so that the 'door' on the left should be the same as the 'hole', and the right side is the same as the 'hole'. ”

Rogge muttered to himself softly, thinking to himself: when a mining accident occurs, the survival instinct will drive people to flee outside the 'hole', maybe we can find some survivors on the way to escape, if not, we will return to the 'hole' and 'hole' to search.

He immediately told Monica of his decision, and the little 'flower' spirit nodded in agreement, and immediately gave an order to the firefly swarm, and the little owl and the little 'flower' spirit continued to lead the way, searching outward through the 'hole' and 'door' on the left, and after passing through several mine 'holes', Rog suddenly heard the sound of knocking on the stone wall in front of him.

"Up ahead, it looks like there's a living person!" Rogge shouted to Lilith and Monica, pointing in the direction the voice was coming from.

The little owl and the little 'flower' spirit flew out of the mine 'hole' and 'door' with a swarm of fireflies, and suddenly saw a murderous figure standing in the center of the 'gloomy' and dark passage ahead.
