Rogge and the others, who escaped from the gnome camp, took a canoe on the shore of the island in the middle of the lake and quickly rowed to the opposite shore, and the jungle behind echoed with the buzz of the wings flapping of the bug army, as well as the screams and cries for help of the gnomes.

Sitting in the canoe, Tali looked back at the dark island in the middle of the lake, and said in a heartless manner, "It seems that we should not leave them, after all, they also saved my life." ”

"Miss Tully, you don't need to have pity on these gnomes. Lisa, who was sitting next to her, glanced at the apologetic expression on her face and said, "Don't forget that they shot and wounded you in the first place, and then they tried to use us to get rid of the rival, almost killing Mr. Commander!"

Hearing her words, Tali glanced back at Antonio, who was rowing hard in front of her, and heard Lisa continue, "The gnomes are not worthy of trust and sympathy, they are notoriously cunning, and if it weren't for Mr. Rogge's skill, we might not have been able to get out of here alive." ”

She gently patted Tully's snow-white shoulder with her dark brown hand and said, "There are not so many benevolence and morality in the swamp, life and death are staged every minute, and those who survive are the winners!"

Tali nodded a little wistfully, looked up at Antonio who was rowing hard, and Roger and Murphy on the other boat, poked the head of her mermaid staff into the water, and silently chanted a spell, and the current around the two boats immediately rushed to the shore.

Seeing this, the three men who rowed stopped the pulp in their hands and turned back to smile at Tali in unison, and at this moment, on the island in the middle of the lake that was left behind, several insect soldiers appeared on the shore, but because the canoe was far away, they didn't notice Rogge and the others, and flew in other directions.

The two canoes were pushed by the water to reach the shore quickly, and the three men jumped on the shore first, and then took the girls to the shore, and Rogge then asked Murphy and Lisa, "Where shall we go now?" We have lost too much time, and we must find Bach as soon as possible. ”

"When we came here before, it looked like we had crossed the road leading to the intersection. Murphy looked back at Lisa with an inquiring gaze, and the Amazonian guide nodded approvingly, "That's right, we should go southeast now, and we shouldn't be far away from seeing that road." ”

"Then we can follow the road all the way east, and if we find an intersection, we can search the neighborhood for traces to determine if Bach has already walked there. Murphy continued with Lisa's words.

"Very well, do it now!" Rogge said as he beckoned to the crowd.

He and Lisa walked in front, observing the surrounding traces as they went, Antonio and Tali walked in the middle of the group, the Knight Commander vigilantly observed the movements around him to watch out for sudden attacks, and Murphy took Catherine and Monica to the end.

After a short walk in the misty swamp, the rolling hills were replaced by flat land, the ground was no longer muddy and impassable, and the dotted sewage pits seemed to be far away from them.

"We're already on the path deep into the swamp, and it's chosen by wandering merchants who enter the swamp to buy and sell goods, because it's the only flat road in the swamp, though not safe. Lisa pointed to the wide, smooth, dry dirt road ahead of her and said to Rogge.

"Indeed, since entering the swamp, it is the first time I have seen such a flat avenue. Rogge agreed, patting the wide-brimmed hat on his head with his hand, and heard a little voice of annoyance coming from inside: "Take your bad paws away, don't knock them around, and if you have something, please shout 'Excuse me!'"

"Who taught you all this bad habits?" Rogge frowned, took off the hat on his head, and the little furball sleeping on his head suddenly felt a damp wind blowing through his body, and suddenly shivered, jumped up and shouted: "I hate it, don't lift other people's quilts, it's really rude!"

"The first time I heard that a bird has to cover a quilt when sleeping!" Rogge reached out and grabbed her, stared at her two big round eyes and said, "Now it's time to work, don't tell me that you can't fly during the day, you can't see the sun once in ten days and half a month in this swamp!"

He threw the little owl into the air, the little furball flapped its wings to stabilize its body, glared back at him and said, "Hmph, I know that forcing people to work overtime and not paying overtime pay is really a black-hearted boss!"

"If I were your boss, I'd cut your food in half, you see you're fat, you're half shorter in flight!" Rogge said with a smile waving his hat at her.

The little furball flapped its wings hard to raise the height, forcibly lifted his round little belly, turned around and was about to fly away, when he suddenly heard Rogge shout behind him: "Hey, where are you going?"

"Didn't you tell me to work?" asked Lilith, looking back at him.

"I'm asking you to do the work, but I haven't told you what you're looking for!" said Rogge, putting his hat back on his back and hooking his fingers at her.

The little furball flew up to him and tilted his head to look at him, and Rogge pointed to the road ahead and said, "Go to the front, see if there is any trace of Bach the executioner, or if there are traces left by them, and then come back and report." ”

"Can I beat up the stinky priest and then come back?" asked the little furball with a wink.

"No!" Rogge shook his head decisively.

"It's so annoying! You're always protecting the stinky priest, no wonder you're so jealous!" said the little furball, puffing out.

"Less nonsense, what a ramble!" Rogge raised his hand and flicked it on her little belly, and the little furball sprang up like a balloon that had been bounced off, flapping its little wings and flying forward.

"That little guy is so cute," Lisa, who was walking beside Rogge, smiled at Lilith's back and asked Rogge curiously, "How did you become friends with this little bird?"

Rog told her about his acquaintance with Lilith, and Lisa listened with relish, and after listening to it, she said enviously, "If only I could have such a companion!"

Rogge laughed silently, and Lisa continued, "If you find those two priests, will you go back to the kingdom of men?"

"Yes, we have to bring the holy weapon back to the imperial capital, and then go to the dark wizard to retrieve the holy weapon that was robbed, although it may be difficult, but since the nosy matter has been managed at this time, I can't pick on it halfway!"

Rogge smiled mysteriously, glanced back at Antonio and said, "After all, relying on the Holy Congregation of the Captain alone, I don't think it's reliable. ”

"Of course, you can't be here!" Lisa said with her long arms on Rogge's shoulders and a look of appreciation.

"Oh, the Captain won't agree, my name is still on his wanted warrant!The Imperial Holy Order is not as good as a wanted criminal?How much face does His Majesty the Holy Emperor have to lose?" Rogge whispered a whisper in her ear.

"I don't care, you're the best!" Lisa said, holding his arm with her other hand.

"I don't want to be the best, but what I want most now is to find a tavern for a drink!" said Rog as he raised his arms and shrugged his shoulders as he broke free of Lisa's hand.

"I thought, too, if we wait until you find the priest, shall we go together?" asked Lisa, looking at him expectantly.

"Are you going too?" Rogge stared back at her dark brown face, the oil paint on her cheeks and forehead that made the Amazon girl look special.

"yes, I'm good at drinking, don't lose to me!" Lisa said with a proud smile.

"But then you will have to leave the swamp, leave your homeland, and go with us to the territory of the Empire, where you will probably not get used to it. Rogge didn't seem to have much expectation of her proposal, and said in a calm tone.

"It's okay, the living environment in the swamp is bad enough, and the Imperial Territory will never be worse than here!"

Lisa said unhurriedly, put her arm on Rogge's shoulder again and said, "Besides, in recent years, there have been many girls in the clan who have married directly to the human realm, and I heard that they are all living very well, why can't I try it?"

"Ah, I get it when you say that!" Rogge smiled meaningfully at her, and Lisa smiled delightfully, thinking he had accepted his suggestion.

I saw Rogge nodding and said, "Then let's wait until we find Bach and them, and then decide, I hope we can find them sooner!"

Just then, the little furball flew back with a puff of smoke, landed on Rogge's shoulder, and shouted, "I've found the stinky priest!

"How many people?" asked Rogge, looking back in surprise.

"Both of them are alive!" said the little furball seriously.

Rogge shouted loudly to the four people behind him when he heard this: "Quick, find Bach and them, just in front, go quickly!"

Everyone was very excited when they heard this, and they sped up and ran forward, and soon they saw two figures in the distance, staggering in the middle of the road ahead.

Rogge asked everyone to follow, and he ran to the two of them like lightning, and the two people walking in front heard the footsteps behind them, and turned back in horror, Rogge's figure had come to the front.

"Hey, Mr. Bach, you can make it easy for us to find!" said Rogge, grabbing Bach the Priestess, by the shoulder.

"Lonely, lone wolf?" Although Bach was still wearing his finely crafted silver priestly robe, the robe was already covered with dirt, and his body smelled of it, and his unkempt appearance was more like a beggar, and he couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Rogge, and took a step back in fear.

"Hey, don't be afraid, the captain is behind, we're here to help you!" Rog glanced back at Antonio, who was leading the team to follow, and continued to ask, "Where's the Hallows? Don't tell me you've given it to William!"

"Of course not, the Sacred Artifact is here!" Bach took down a box wrapped in rags from his back, let the priest wearing the black cloak of the Void Hunter beside him hold it, and opened the box to Rog and Antonio, who could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the white jade staff rod lying quietly in the gold box.

"Great!" Seeing that the sacristy was safe and sound, Antonio happily turned back to Bach and the accompanying priest and said, "The two have suffered, High Priest Goethe has been sent back to the imperial capital to recuperate, and there is no danger to his life, and then we will escort you back to the imperial capital and hand over the holy artifact to His Majesty the Holy Emperor." ”

"I'm glad I met you, we both thought we were going to die here!" Bach said gladly to the Knight Chief, and Antonio gave them some food and water, and the two priests devoured it.

"Cross this intersection and continue on, and follow the road until you enter the Imperial Territory. On the other side, Lisa and Murphy pointed to the intersection in front of them and said to Rogge.

Rogge nodded in satisfaction, and before he could speak, he suddenly saw a black figure appear on the opposite side of the crossroads.
