readx;?“ Mina!" Old Holman shouted when he saw the woman in red who threw the stone at Antonio, and let go of Antonio and walked towards the woman holding his hand, but the woman took a step back and raised a stone again to the old man. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Mina, don't be nonsense!" Mina's brother Kane hurriedly stepped forward to protect his father, and at the same time pointed his finger at his sister and shouted, "Haven't you caused enough trouble?

Mina stared at him and his parents behind him with a blank expression, her eyes cold and unmoved, as if they were not her relatives, but incompatible enemies.

"Mina, I'm sorry, Mommy knows you hate us," Sarah, the wife of old Holman, stepped forward tremblingly and stretched out her wrinkled hand to her daughter, "But we can't help it, can't you forgive us?"

Mina seemed indifferent to the old man's bitter persuasion, her gaze swept over the faces of Rog and Antonio until the crowd stood around the pool behind them, and after a brief silence, she slowly stepped back into the shadows behind a ruined house under the gaze of the crowd.

The two old men let out a sad sigh when they saw their daughter disappear, and old Holman turned back to Antonio: "Sorry, sir, it was my daughter Mina, who has not been normal since her sweetheart was killed by the god of crows. ”

"Yes," echoed Mrs. Holman, "not only did Mina not speak to anyone, but she became cold and hateful, sometimes she was insane, and even when she was sober, she was very indifferent to those around her, and she once broke Kane's head and almost killed him. ”

"Goodbye Mom," Kane looked regretfully at the direction in which his sister had disappeared, "No matter what, she is my sister after all, and I can't protect her as an elder brother and make her suffer so much, even if she really kills me, I won't blame her." ”

Antonio looked at the two sad old men with pity, turned back to discuss the next step with Rogge, and Roger walked to the side: "Do you really believe that this matter is due to the evil deeds of some evil god?"

"What do you mean?" Antonio looked at him in surprise, and Rog bowed his head thoughtfully, "We all know that a century ago, when the human coalition attacked the Cursed Lands, they crossed the dark hills to the Shadow Fortress and breached the dark wizard's lair. ”

"Think about it, when hundreds of thousands of troops, including the Titans, crossed the dark hills, it was impossible for no one to discover this valley inhabited by evil gods, but why didn't anyone who came back bring back news about it? ”

"You think they're lying?" asked Antonio, staring at Rogge suspiciously.

"I can't tell if they're lying or not," Rogge shook his head meaningfully, "We all think that the dark hills are uninhabitable for human beings, and there can be no human villages, but it is also possible that some of the people left behind in the great war a century ago have multiplied here for a hundred years, leaving behind these descendants." ”

"So these people's words are not true, and one of the more likely situations at present is that the so-called god of crows in the Valley of the Cursed is not a god at all, but a person. Rogge raised his eyebrows meaningfully and stared into Antonio's eyes: "Remember, the symbol of the crow?"

"Dark wizard?" Antonio suddenly realized, Rogge's words suddenly reminded him of the connection between dark wizards and crows, unlike the white mages of the Mage Tower who like to raise owls, the dark wizards of the Shadow Fortress often raise crows as their messengers, and many dark wizards themselves will become crows.

"That's right, the biggest evil god in the dark hills is the Shadow Fortress, and the other so-called evil gods are all minions of the Shadow Fortress, this Raven God must have a great connection with the Shadow Fortress, as long as we find him, we will be able to find out the whereabouts of the Shadow Fortress. Rogge winked at Antonio.

The Knight Leader pondered for a moment, then bowed slightly in agreement and said, "If you have you, then we will do so." He turned to the two old men, "Sir, madam, we have just discussed and decided to go to the Valley of the Damned to help you settle this matter. ”

"Thank you. The two old men thanked them for their kindness, and Antonio stopped them: "No thanks, this is just a gesture, but we are not familiar with the terrain of the Valley of the Damned, and we still need you to guide the way." He turned his gaze to Kane to the side.

"I'll take you there," Kane readily agreed, but looked at the sky again: "But it's almost dark now, and the Valley of the Curse will be shrouded in poisonous fog after nightfall, so we can only go during the day, so why don't you rest in the village for a day tonight, and I'll take you there tomorrow after dawn." ”

Hearing his words, Antonio raised his head and glanced at the gray sky, and couldn't see how to distinguish between day and night here, but since Kane was like this, he didn't object, and agreed to Kane's suggestion.

When old Holman saw that the discussion had been decided, he asked his son to take everyone to rest in the houses in the village that were still habitable, but most of the houses in the village had collapsed and were damaged, and only a few could live in them, and they could not accommodate seven or eight hundred people at all.

After consulting with Goethe, Antonio decided to let some of the wounded live in the house, leaving the rest of the house for the girls to live in, and the high priest asked for a room to live with several of his priests, and the rest of the rooms were mostly reserved for the rest of the priesthood.

Antonio and Rog and some of the other knights pitched their tents in the open space by the pool in the center of the village, lit a bonfire and had dinner together, and the girls came to them after laying down their bags and loads, and talked with them about the village and the family.

Suddenly, standing on Rogge's head, he looked around at the hairballs in the dark night around him, and patted Rogge's head with his wings: "Bad wolf, there seems to be someone over there!"

Rog glanced up at her, and the furball jumped on his shoulder and stretched out his wings to show him, only to see a red shadow standing far away from the broken wall of an abandoned house in the shadows by an abandoned house, holding on to the wall in one hand and a stone in the other.

"Mina?" Rogge couldn't help but stand up, Antonio and the others also got up and looked in Mina's direction, Rogge slowly walked towards Mina, and tried to use a soft voice as much as possible as he walked: "Mina, can I talk to you?" We have no ill intentions, we are here to help you. ”

Standing in the shadows, Mina was silent, her eyes did not have the slightest emotional fluctuation, when Rog walked less than twenty steps away from her, she suddenly threw the stone in her hand at Rog, and the hairball standing on Rog's head shot a fixed beam of light to freeze the stone, and Mina had already turned and fled into the shadows.

"Alright, badass. Rogge snorted softly, the hairball stopped fixing the beam, and Rogge raised his hand at the same time to catch the flying stone, he looked down at the sharp stone in his hand, and looked up at the place where Mina disappeared, on the surface of the stone in his hand, a bright red word "death" was shocking.

He silently turned back to the crowd and handed the stone to Antonio, and the knight leader looked down at the word "death" written on it, looked at Rogge in surprise, lowered his head and sent the stone to him and sniffed it, faintly smelling a faint smell of blood.

"What does she want to do?" he looked up at Rog suspiciously, and Rogge shrugged, "It looks like she's threatening us, but it doesn't seem reasonable, the Raven God should be the one she hates the most, if we can help her get revenge, why should she hate and threaten us?"

"I've always thought things were weird here. Catherine looked uneasily at the shady and dilapidated villages around her, "Maybe we shouldn't stay here, I always think something bad is going to happen." ”

"Don't worry baby," Rogge looked back at the expressions on her and Britney and Tully's faces, the faces of the girls were not very good-looking, showing obvious uneasiness and worry, Rogge thought a little to comfort them, "I'll stay here with the bad birds tonight, it'll be fine." ”

"Why am I on duty with you?" Maoqiu shouted dissatisfiedly, "I'm going to sleep with Stupid Girl, Sister Pumpkin, and Sister Fish, you can stay on duty by yourself!"

"You should find a better reason to be lazy, scoundrel," Rog tapped his finger on her head, "Everybody knows owls don't sleep at night, you stupid night owl." ”

"That'...... Then I'm going to catch mice!" Furball pouted and held back for a long time, and helplessly came up with such a sentence, Rogge looked at her silently with slanted eyebrows, and pouted at her: "This reason is okay, you can go, as long as you are not afraid of being eaten by monsters." ”

When Furball heard his previous words, he was about to fly away triumphantly, and suddenly heard the last sentence, and couldn't help but look nervously at the ghostly villages around him, shrunk his head and retreated to the side of Rogge's neck: "Forget it, I still won't go, I guess there are no rats in this place, I'm still merciful to accompany you!"

Rog smiled wickedly and raised his eyebrows at the girls, and the girls smiled at this, and the anxiety in their hearts dissipated, and Rog and Antonio sent them back to their rooms, helped them close the windows and doors, and returned to the campfire after saying goodnight.

The two sat by the campfire and talked about what had happened to Mina and how they could help the poor girl, and before they knew it was getting dark, Rog told Antonio to rest first, and he sat down by the campfire without any sleepiness, chatting with the furballs.

Suddenly, he heard a noise behind him, and Rog looked back, only to see a knight come out of the tent, and when he saw him looking at him with the furball, he explained in a low voice, "I'll go and make it easier." ”

Rog nodded to him and admonished, "Don't go too far, stay safe." ”

The knight turned around and walked away, Rogge turned around and continued to stare down at the campfire, and after a while, the furball suddenly: "Bad wolf, that knight hasn't come back yet, why has he been going for so long, has he fallen into the dung pit?"

Hearing Lilith's words, Rogge suddenly realized that something was wrong, and he was about to get up to look for the knight, when he heard a scream echo over the village in the night.
