Chapter 562: A Difficult Guide

When Rogge and a few girls returned to the base camp of the Four Valleys through the dimensional passage of the god of lights, Suer, who had been waiting anxiously, was the first to greet him, and when he saw that his daughter was safe and sound, Suer's hanging heart finally relaxed.

When he saw Susan's lost double battle axe, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression, Susan smiled and told Suer what had happened, and the patriarch laughed when he heard it, and decided to give the weapon that had been with him for many years to his daughter.

Taking advantage of the conversation between father and daughter, Rog, Catherine, and Tully came to Antonio and handed him the fragment of the letter found in the dark wizard's laboratory.

"Obviously, the Shadow Fortress wants to find something before we do. Rogge put his pipe in his mouth and folded his arms over his chest and said, "What are they looking for in the same way as us......?"

"Pharaoh's Stone!" Antonio said in a flash of realization.

"That's right!" Rogge snapped his fingers in agreement, "With William's shrewdness, he will definitely guess our purpose after getting the news that we are sending troops to the wilderness, and the death barrier he has set up in the dark hills is to deal with the lamp god around Tali, and our purpose of reluctance to go far is obvious." ā€

"If he gets the Pharaoh Stone first, we will become very passive. Antonio frowned worriedly, and looked back to see Karn, the patriarch of the Kabu clan, standing not far away, and he came to Karn with Rogge and the others to inquire about the Luxor Temple.

"I've only heard of that temple before. Karn fumbled Whitebeard with his hand, recalling as he recalled, "Legend has it that it was the place where the Grim Reaper dwelled, and there were many terrible monsters living there, and no one could come back from it alive, so no one knew its whereabouts. ā€

He beckoned to the crowd and said, "Come with me, and I'll show you a map, which will probably point out a location." ā€

Rogge and the others followed him into the tent of the Chinese army in the base camp, and on a map of the whole territory of the wasteland, Karn drew an area and said to Rogge and Antonio: "According to the long-standing legends in the wasteland, it is speculated that the Luxor Temple should be in the Khufu Desert, but the specific location may have to be found by yourself." ā€

Rogge and Antonio looked around the location Karn was pointing at, and found that the area was not far from where they were now, and the edge of the area could be reached two kilometers south of here, but the area was quite large and difficult to find.

"I can point you to a guide if you need it. Karn's words made Rog and Antonio's eyes light up, and they only listened to the old orc patriarch say slowly, "But don't be too happy, this man is not a philanthropist, he is a difficult fellow. ā€

"I've seen too many tough guys, and so far I've never seen anything more difficult than the little villain. Rogge cynically glanced at the little owl on his shoulder who was busy grooming his feathers, and the little furball glared back at him and said, "Bad wolf, I'm not free now, don't mess with the baby!"

Rog slyly stuck out his tongue and smiled at Karn, "Tell me, Patriarch, who is that guy, and how can he help us find the Luxor Temple?"

"As you might not expect, his name is Orsis, and he is Brian's brother. Karn smiled and looked at the surprised expressions on everyone's faces and said, "He lost the battle with Brian for the position of Patriarch, and then left the clan alone to live in the southern part of the wasteland. ā€

"Sounds like a lone wolf again. Antonio looked meaningfully at Rogge and said.

"No, he's not alone. Karn shook his graying head and said, "After he left the tribe, he gathered together the most dangerous orcs in the wasteland, who had been driven out by the tribes, and formed a terrible army of mercenaries, who would help whoever gave them money. ā€

"It turns out that the orcs also have mercenaries, I wonder if they are more deadly than human mercenaries. Rog said as he looked at Karn with interest.

"Of course, they're all madmen," Karn said, tapping his dark green finger on the area drawn on the map, "Ossis not only earns money from mercenaries, he also mines diamonds in this area and sells them to humans, and he owns a large number of slaves, all of whom he has captured in mercenary wars." ā€

"So, the Luxor Temple is on a diamond mine, which is great news. Rog rubbed his chin with his hand, looked at Karn's fingers and said, "Maybe we can bring back the Pharaoh's Stone and get a diamond back." ā€

"Ossis won't allow anyone to take a pebble out of his diamond mines. Karn smiled mockingly, "But you can go and talk to him about a deal, and if you can satisfy him, he should show you the way through it easier and faster than if you searched for it yourself." ā€

"Sounds like a good idea, and I believe that with the Empire behind us, we can accept any price. Rogge looked at Antonio and Goethe, who was standing opposite, with a deep meaning, and the high priest frowned with a cold face: "The empire will not accept the blackmail of the lion's big mouth!"

"I guess His Majesty would rather spend money than let the Pharaoh's Stone fall into William's hands. Rog raised his eyebrows at him and smiled slightly, then turned back to Karn and said, "Patriarch, in that case, I think it would be best for us to separate for the time being, and I will go with the two regiments of Captain Antonio and High Priest Goethe to find the Temple of Luxor, and then we will meet again." ā€

"No problem, we will continue to purge the remnants of Blackca's territory and prepare for the next march, good luck, my friend. Karn agreed to Rog's arrangement, and they told Sur, who had walked into the account, about the plan.

Sur agreed with their plan, and everyone rested in the base camp that night, and the next morning Rog and the others set off early, and Antonio led the Knights of the Silver Dragon Wings and the High Priest Goethe's Priests of the Wings of Light to the Khufu Desert according to the guidance of the map.

As the horse's hooves moved forward, the sand under their feet became thicker and thicker, and the hard wasteland became less and less, and the horse's hooves were deep in the sand and it was difficult to move forward, and everyone had to dismount and move forward slowly.

The knights lowered their silver helmets, the priests wrapped the hoods of their silver robes tightly and led their horses down slowly, Rog lowered the brim of his hat to avoid the harsh sun and disturbing sand, and the little furball simply hid in his hat to avoid being sunburned.

Seeing that the scorching sun caused a lot of water loss in Tali's body, Antonio untied the white cloak and wrapped it around her body, allowing Tali to wet the cloak and wrap it around her body to slow down the loss of moisture.

Suddenly, Catherine, who was walking beside Rogge, touched Rogge lightly, pointed to the sand dunes in front of her and said, "There's someone over there!"

Rog looked up and saw several heavily armed orcs standing on the dunes, looking at them with vigilant eyes, Rog saw this and told Antonio and Goethe to stop the group, and strode towards the dunes, and the orcs on the dunes saw him walking towards him, and his hand couldn't help but grasp the hilt of the knife at his waist.

"Hey, are you Ossian's men?" Rog stopped under the dunes, looked up at them and said in orc language, "We're here for Ossis, we have a good deal to talk to him about, I guess you wouldn't mind showing us the way?"

Several orcs exchanged suspicious glances with each other, and one of them shouted at Rogge, "Lord Ossis doesn't negotiate business with humans, we don't accept human employment, you get out of here quickly!"

"We're not here for mercenaries. Rog spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders at him and said, "We just want to find Ossis to show us the way, and if he can guide us to where we are looking for, we will give him a good reward, I don't think anyone will refuse money so easily, right?"

The orcs exchanged glances with each other, and after a moment's thought, said to him, "I can take you to Lord Osses, but only you, and the others must stay here until Lord Ossis allows you to pass through this place." ā€

"Thank you very much. Rog smiled and nodded at them, turned back to Antonio, and told them about the conversation, and the high priest Goethe said angrily, "These orc barbarians are so rude that they let us bask in the sun in this place!"

"High Priest, this is no better than your Holy Syndicate Palace, we are on someone else's territory. Rogge smiled and shrugged his eyebrows at him, and then said to Antonio, "You go and find a shady corner under the hill over there to rest, and I'll go and see what kind of person that Ossis is, and if we can talk about it best, if not, we'll find a way." ā€

Antonio agreed to his plan, and Rogge was about to turn away, when he suddenly saw Catherine walk up to him, and just opened his small mouth, Rogge preemptively pressed a finger on her soft lips: "I'll go with you too!"

Catherine smiled shyly, and Rog looked at the little flower spirit hidden in the shadow under her white rose wide-brimmed hat and said, "Actually, I wanted you to stay, Monica is a bit unbearable on such a hot day, and I should ask Miss Tully to water her more, but I guess you can't stay here either, so let's go together." ā€

Catherine nodded happily, Tali cast a spell to water the little flower spirit that was a little wilted, and let her continue to hide under Catherine's hat, and Rog took Catherine to say goodbye to everyone, and climbed the sand dunes to follow the orc mercenaries to meet Osses.

As they walked through the mercenary camp past the hordes of vicious-looking orc mercenaries and came to the stone house where Ossis lived, an orc man smoking grass stopped them and said rudely, "Lord Ossis is interrogating the prisoner, you can't see him now!"
