After about twenty minutes, Rogge took Catherine and Tali back to the queen's dressing room, Catherine and Tali saluted the queen and stood beside Antonio and Martin, Rogge stepped up to the queen and smiled: "Your Majesty, I already know where the necklace is, let's talk about the price." ”

"The price?" asked Queen Erin, looking at him in surprise.

"That's right, I helped you recover your priceless sapphire necklace as a gift for your first meeting, and you should always give me a little reward as a queen, right?" said Rogge, looking at the queen triumphantly.

"Why do I feel that you are blackmailing me?" asked Queen Erin with a cold face, "I thought you were a respectable gentleman!"

"I'm a bad guy by nature, and bad guys always have to do something good for others, don't they?" Rogge smiled casually at the Queen's reproachful gaze.

"Lone wolf, you don't have to take an inch! this is the palace!" Marquis of Thunder Martin reminded in a majestic tone.

"It is precisely because it is the royal palace that Her Majesty should reward the meritorious, so that Her Majesty can show that His Majesty has clear rewards and punishments, isn't it?" Rogge smiled back at Martin's serious face and smiled at the Queen.

"Since you consider yourself a meritorious person, you must at least let me see the necklace you recovered, right?" Queen Erin stopped Martin with a look and looked at Rogge calmly, waiting for his reaction.

"It's easy!" Roger reached into his cloak before he could finish speaking, and when his hand reached out of the cloak, there was already a crystal clear sapphire necklace on his fingertips.

The necklace was made entirely of flawless white crystal, and a huge sapphire pendant emitted an icy glow that dazzled everyone present.

"Is it it, my Majesty?" asked Rogge, smiling as he brought the necklace to the Queen.

"Where did you find that?" Queen Irene reached for it, but Rogge took the necklace back and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my majesty, we haven't negotiated the price yet!"

"Alright then, what do you want?" asked Queen Erin nodding helplessly, looking at Rog intently.

"Since it's the first time we've met, I don't plan to ask for more, so let's just count it. Rogge stretched out ten fingers and gestured to the queen.

"What does this mean?" Queen Erin turned her inquiring gaze suspiciously and landed on Martin's face, Martin frowned and asked, "If you have something to say, don't do this!"

"Then you're welcome," Rogge nodded with a smile, "Ten gold coins is not much for you, right?"

"Is that all?" Queen Erin's eyes widened unexpectedly, although ten gold coins were already equivalent to two or three years of income for the people of the royal capital, but for the queen, it was really not worth mentioning, she thought that Rogge would be ruthless to blackmail herself, but she didn't expect it to be so little.

Rogge raised his eyebrows and bowed slightly, and Queen Irene smiled slightly when she saw this, and said, "Okay, but after the money is given to you, you have to tell me who stole my necklace." ”

"Of course. Rogge said confidently.

The queen immediately ordered Doris to go to Alfred, the head of the palace, and brought back ten gold coins and handed them to Rogge, who did not accept the ten gold coins offered by Doris, but turned back to the queen and smiled, "Can I allow me to put the necklace on for you myself?"

"Absolutely. Queen Irene gladly agreed, and Rogge walked behind the queen, carefully placed the sapphire necklace on the queen's smooth neck, and then returned to her and looked at her with admiration, saying, "Sure enough, the little bad bird can now start complimenting Her Majesty!"

"You don't need to talk too much, I was about to say it!" the little furball flapped its wings on the queen's shoulders and shouted, "The queen is so beautiful, she is the most beautiful woman in the world, and even such a beautiful bird as me is willing to bow down!"

The queen laughed out loud at the little furball, touched her little furry body with her hand, and looked back to see Rogge shove ten gold coins back into Doris's hand, and said to her, "These ten gold coins are for you, as compensation for your wrongs, and I will reward you on behalf of Her Majesty." ”

"Your Excellency, this ......" Doris looked at him in surprise, and then looked at the queen beside her, Queen Irene was also surprised at first, but soon understood Rogge's intentions, she smiled and nodded to Doris, Doris had to thank the queen and Rogge, and accepted the money with excitement.

"You're really good at selling favors. Queen Irene said to Rogge with a smile.

"I'm just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, Her Majesty's grace is obvious to all of us. Rogge politely bowed.

"But you haven't told me the identity of the thief you promised. The queen asked, looking at him expectantly.

"Please follow me. Rogge turned and walked to the window of the dressing table, the queen followed him with graceful steps, the two stopped at the window, Rogge stretched out his hand and pointed out the window and said, "Far away, close at hand." ”

Queen Irene looked around the window suspiciously, except for a few towering trees in the courtyard, there was no shadow of a thief? She frowned suspiciously and looked at Rogge, who saw that she did not understand, so she smiled and turned back to Catherine and said, "Tell Her Majesty what we have just done." ”

"Your Majesty," said Catherine, who walked into the house with the little flower spirit, and came to the queen, "just now Mr. Rogge came to the drawing-room, and asked me and Monica to follow him out into the courtyard, and he told Monica to fly to the treetops in the courtyard, to inspect the magpie nests in the trees, and at last found your necklace in one of the magpie nests. ”

"Magpie's nest?" Queen Irene looked at Rogge in surprise, and then at Catherine, and was very surprised by this, Martin and Antonio, who were standing at the door, looked at each other, only to hear the queen ask, "How can you be in the magpie's nest?"

"You grew up in the palace, so you don't know the habits of magpies," Rogge smiled and pointed to the magpie's nest outside the window and explained, "As the little bad bird said before, magpies are very smelly birds, and they like to collect things that glow. ”

He turned his gaze back to the Queen's sun-drenched dressing table, and continued: "At this time, it is the time when the sun is pouring in through the window, and when it shines on the dressing table, the crystal necklace will reflect the sunlight and become shiny, which naturally attracts the attention of the magpies, and the window that you did not close also gives them the opportunity to steal. ”

"I see!" Queen Irene suddenly realized, only to hear Rogge laugh, "Not only that, but I have a lot of other gains. He took out a money pouch from his body, and poured out a large pile of precious jewels from it, all of which were poured out on the Queen's dressing table, shining in the sun.

Queen Irene was surprised to check them one by one, and found that there were many precious jewelry lost by the noble ladies who had lived in the palace in the past, and because the law enforcement department had not found out the whereabouts of the thieves, they were finally gone.

"I didn't expect these magpies to be jewel thieves!" Queen Irene looked up in amazement and said to Rogge, "It seems that I have to have someone clean up the magpie nest in the palace." ”

"It's still necessary, not only magpies, but also crows and gardener birds have similar hobbies, but these 'jewel thieves' won't open your jewellery box, so it's best not to leave your jewellery on the table. Rogge replied with a smile.

"I'll just say that magpies are bad guys!" the little furball shouted triumphantly with his little head held high, "Not only is it stinky and beautiful, but it is also a thief, it is really bad!"

"What a thief shouting to catch a thief!" Rogge glanced at her with a slanted eyebrow and muttered softly.

When Little Furball heard his voice, he turned back sharply and said, "Bad wolf, why did you let Monica search just now and not let me go, so that I can teach the bad magpies a good lesson!"

"I'm afraid you'll be repaired by the magpies," said Rogge, turning and walking past the queen, tapping his finger on the little hairball's little head, "There are dozens of magpie nests around, aren't you afraid of being beaten up as an egg thief?"

"I'm not afraid," the little furball pouted and said stiffly: "If you can't beat it, run away, Her Majesty will protect me!"

The queen was amused by her and laughed, she asked Doris to give the recovered jewelry to Martin, and those who could identify the owner sent someone to return it to the master, and those who could not find the owner were included in the treasury for military use, and then took Rogge and the others to the banquet hall.

In the banquet hall, Rogge introduces George, Donnie, Grant, and Robin to Queen Irene, and learns that the four are the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" who entered the Vampire King's Castle through the window to rescue her, and the queen is very surprised, and she expresses her gratitude to the four of them one by one, calling them "Itali's heroes".

"Your Majesty, you should already know what is going on," Rogge clinked glasses with the queen at the banquet and said to her, "Elizabeth, the princess of the vampire king, and her uncle, Prince Gurman, are entrenched in the vampire king's castle outside the city of Itali, and the second artifact is also hidden inside. ”

"The top priority now is to take advantage of the dark wizard's vitality to take advantage of the great injury of the dark wizard to defeat Elizabeth and the others to regain the holy weapon, and this requires the help of the convicts, but now the guild of the convicts has been hit hard and does not dare to show their heads openly, which is very detrimental to the fight against vampires. ”

"What can I do for you?" asked Queen Erin, staring at Rog with her clear blue eyes.

"At least in the territory of the Duchy of Itali, the lifting of restrictions on convicts allows us to recruit new members and expand the size of the guild, which will allow us to monitor the vampire forces throughout Itali's territory and lay the groundwork for the assault on Gulman's castle. Without thinking, Rogge said the request he had already thought of in his heart.

Queen Erin lowered her head and pondered for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "What you said is indeed reasonable, but the elimination of the Ranger Guild is an order issued by the Holy Society from the imperial capital, and all principalities must abide by it, and the priests of the Holy Guild in Itali will also supervise us, and we cannot openly disobey the orders of His Majesty the Holy Emperor." ”

"What about the opinions of the two?" said Rogge, looking back at Martin and Antonio across the table.

"If the convicts are included in Itali's army and formed a knight order dedicated to hunting vampires, it will naturally be possible to carry out the plan that Rogge said. Antonio, who had been listening to the conversation between Rogge and the Queen, suggested.

"No, that's not going to work!" Rogge waved his hand decisively and objected: "Then just like the army of the Marquis of Thunder attacking the vampire fortress, the vampire's strength is definitely superior to that of humans in a head-to-head battle, and humans must pay a great price to win, this is not the way the witchers act." ”

"But it is impossible for the Queen to decree pardon the convicted!" replied Martin, Marquis of Thunder, in a categorical manner, "unless there is some way to get the best of both worlds." ”

Hearing this, a sly smile appeared on the corner of Rogge's mouth, and he looked around at everyone present and said, "I have a solution, you might as well think about it." ”
