readx;?“ Then we'll go to her at once, now. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Antonio turned back to Kane and asked him to take him to Mina's quarters, and Kane, who had healed from his leg wounds, took Antonio and Rogge, followed by several girls and knights, to Mina's house.
"So this room is Mina's residence?" Standing outside Mina's house, Catherine said to Tali and Britney beside her, surprised that the old wooden house presented in front of them was the same one that Roger had inspected when the group had just entered the village.
Antonio ordered his knights to surround the cabin, and he and Rogge came to the door of the cabin, and the two looked at each other and nodded slightly, Antonio knocked lightly on the door, and the door made a dull noise, and then calmed down.
There was no response from inside the door, Antonio frowned, reached out and tried to push the door, the wooden door "creaked" and opened a crack, there was no light in the black hole inside, Antonio carefully continued to push the door, with the sound of the wooden door opening, a dark room appeared in front of him.
Antonio raised his hand and illuminated the room with the holy light in his palm, and walked into the room with Rogge, the scene in the room was spotless and orderly as Rogge had been when he first came here.
The two of them walked around the room, looking for possible clues, and at this moment there was a strange noise in the bedroom inside, Rog and Antonio exchanged glances with each other, and the knight strode to the closed bedroom door, knocked on the door with his hand, and said, "Mina, are you inside?
There was silence in the bedroom, Antonio pushed the door hard, but the door was locked from the inside, Antonio knocked the door and shouted loudly, but there was still no response from inside.
Seeing this, the Knight Master took a step back, raised his foot and kicked the door open with force, and he stepped into the room, only to find that it was empty, an empty bed neatly made, and no one had slept before.
"How could there be no one?" Antonio looked around the small bedroom in surprise, he had just heard a noise in the room, and there were no other doors and windows in the room in front of him, if the sound just now was really Mina, where would she hide?
At this moment, Rogge, who walked into the room behind him, fell on a small piece of carpet on the inside of the bedroom door, an old fur carpet that looked to be old for a long time, and what attracted Rogge was that it was now laid out at an oblique angle in front of the door.
"Was it like that when you came in just now?" Rogge stared down at the carpet and asked Antonio, the knight leader was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the carpet in front of Rogge suspiciously and said, "I don't know, I didn't pay attention to it, what's wrong?"
"If you didn't make this rug crooked, there's only one possibility that the rug in front of the bedroom door will be crooked for a master who has everything so neatly laid out in the house," Rog leaned over and said to Antonio, leaning over the rug and saying to Antonio. ”
Antonio was surprised to shine the holy light in his palm to the bare ground under the carpet, only to see a secret door appear on the ground, Rog reached out and grabbed the knocker of the secret door and gently pulled it up, and a narrow staircase for only one person appeared in their sight.
Rogge and Antonio stood on either side of the entrance to the staircase and looked at the dark staircase, Antonio shone the holy light on the staircase, and vaguely saw that the staircase was less than ten steps, and at the bottom was a narrow passage wide for one person.
He asked Rog to follow him, and walked down the stairs first, and the two walked into the tunnel one after the other, and Rogge found some small barefoot footprints on the ground along the way, which looked very similar to the small footprints at the scene of the crime.
Rog and Antonio walked all the way along the tunnel, and found a rope ladder at the end of the tunnel, the top of the ladder was covered by something, Rog climbed the ladder first to the top, pushed the object covering the top with his hand, found that it was not heavy, and was lifted with a light push.
Rog climbed out of the exit and looked around to find himself in the dark jungle, he reached out to help Antonio climb out of the hole, and the two of them stood next to the hole covered by bushes and looked at the dark jungle around them, and for a moment they couldn't make out their way.
"Go this way, we're coming from this direction, just go back in this direction. After a moment of thought, Rogge pointed to Antonio in the direction from which he had come, and the two of them turned back for a short time when they saw the dilapidated wooden houses on the outskirts of the village.
"Obviously, she was prepared. Antonio frowned as he walked back side by side with Rogge and said, "With this secret passage, she can enter and leave her house without knowing it, sneak into other people's homes at night, and kill anyone." ”
"I guess she already knows we're eyeing her, and she shouldn't be showing up here in public until we leave here. Rogge said as he looked down on his cigar and thought about it.
"There must be other hiding places for her, we need to find her, and we can't let her continue to threaten other people. Antonio frowned gloomily and said preoccupiedly.
"But what are you going to do when you find her?" Rogge glanced at Antonio with little hope, Antonio looked back at him in surprise, Rogge shrugged his shoulders and said, "You also heard Kane say that Mina is immortal, and even if we kill her, she will still come back from the dead." ”
"At least we can imprison her for a while until we get rid of the crow god who cursed her and free her from the curse. Antonio paused and turned to Rogge, looking at him confidently.
"Maybe you're right," Rogge said with a slight sigh of silence, "but you have to be mentally prepared, we don't know the environment of this place, and it may not be easy to find her, and if we make her feel threatened, she may do something to jump off the wall." ”
"I'll arrange it. Antonio nodded approvingly, and strode with Rogge to Mina's quarters, and as they walked around from behind Mina's house to the crowd, the eyes of the girls and knights, who had been waiting for themselves, widened in surprise.
Antonio told everyone what had happened, Catherine and the other girls were shocked and scared when they heard about it, and Tali asked Antonio uneasily: "Then what should we do next, will Mina attack the others again?"
"Don't worry, I think even if she goes crazy and wants to eat people, she won't dare to attack openly, as long as we try to avoid being alone, we should be able to avoid her threat. Antonio looked around at the three girls and said, "Although you are all skilled, remember not to act alone. ”
The girls looked at each other with a worried look on their faces, and nodded in agreement, and Antonio and Rogge led the group back to the pool, where they gathered all the knights, as well as the high priest Goethe and his knights, and told them what had happened.
"Until we find Mina, remember not to go alone, always have one or two companions with you when you leave the group, and don't stay away from each other, Mina is crazy, but she's just a girl after all, you are all battle-hardened warriors, two or three people together believe that they can deal with her attacks. ”
Hearing Antonio's words, the knights and priests exchanged glances with each other and nodded silently, at which point the high priest Goethe came out from the crowd of priests and said, "Antonio, is there no other way for you to do anything else?"
"We'll look for Mina, High Priestess," Antonio said calmly to the people present, especially his knights, after dawn tomorrow, "I will personally lead people to search for Mina's whereabouts after dawn, and when we find her, we will temporarily put her in custody so that she will not hurt more people." ”
He was silent for a moment, as if he was a little embarrassed by the words that followed, but after a moment of hesitation, he said, "Then, we will go to the Valley of the Curse to find the God of Ravens and ask him to lift the curse on Mina and her family, and when the curse is lifted, what we should do with Mina, I will depend on the situation." ”
"I hope you don't let a madwoman go with the kindness of a woman. Goethe sneered contemptuously, turned and led the priests back to his residence, Antonio glanced coldly at his back, and was about to say a few words to comfort his knights, when suddenly he saw Mina's parents walking over with each other's arms.
"Head Antonio, and gentlemen, I'm really sorry. Mina's father, Old Holman, knelt down as soon as he saw Antonio, Antonio hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and Old Holman shook his head sadly: "I didn't expect that on the first night you came, Mina did such a thing!"
"It's not your fault, Mr. Holman," Antonio said with a kind reassuring reassurance, helping the old man up, "Mina is actually a victim too, and although I can't accept it from the bottom of my heart, I can't blame her completely. ”
"You are merciful, Mr. Master, but we cannot but be worried and fearful about it," said Mrs. Holman, holding her husband with a sad face, "as when there were other people in this village, we could not sleep every night, fearing that we would hear from the dead the next morning, and this was repeated again. ”
"Rest assured, ma'am, I am fully prepared to prevent more people from being harmed, and I will find Mina and place her properly until we defeat the Raven God and remove the curse from you. Antonio said confidently comforting the old man.
The two old men seemed a little relieved when they heard him say this, and Antonio asked them about Kane's situation, and learned that Kane's injuries were all right, so he asked the two old men to ask Kane to take someone with him to find Mina after dawn tomorrow, and the two old men readily agreed.
Antonio sent the two old men away, then returned to the crowd, and told the girls and the knights to go back to rest, leaving himself by the pool to guard the body of the dead knight, covering him with the cloak of the deceased dragon knight.
Just as the knights were leaving, Tali and Britney suddenly came to Antonio uneasily and said, "Where did Catherine go?
