Chapter 679: Don't eat pumpkins and enmity
"Britney ......" Seeing Britney suddenly appearing behind the bushes, Rogge screamed in surprise and couldn't help but walk towards her, but Britney subconsciously took a step back and shouted with a lot of concern: "No, don't come here!"
Rogge paused and was silent for a moment, then spread his hands to her and said in a sincere tone: "Britney, all this is a misunderstanding, I didn't kill Murphy, he died at the hands of the vampire maid Anne, in order to avenge me and Murphy for killing her brother Lane.

Britney's eyes showed obvious concern, her hands hanging at her sides were clasped together, staring intently into Rogge's eyes, and she said in a voice that was obviously suppressed from her excitement: "Tell me the truth of the matter, including the deception and infighting in the mouth of the Harpy Witch, what is going on?"
Rogge was silent for a moment, nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, it's time to put all this to an end." ”
He told Britney the whole story, including their first encounter with Murphy, Murphy's suspicions about him during their relationship, Murphy's relationship with Catherine, and Murphy's choice and death on the night of the full moon.
When he finished telling, he let out a long sigh and said to Britney, "No one would have thought about the end, when I was rescued from prison with a broken leg and heard about Murphy's death, I couldn't believe it was true, and even though he hated me, I always thought of him as my brother." ”
He pulled out the silver sword of the Guilty Breaker from behind his back, held it in the palm of his hand and handed it to Britney, saying, "This sword is another of Anne's revenge objects, the sword of Wood, the leader of the Guilty Breakers' Guild, it was in Murphy's hands after Wood's death, and finally it was in my hands. ”
He stared at the silver sword's glittering silver body, and sighed in a heavy tone: "The three of us are all witnesses and participants in Ryan's death, but I am the one who killed Ryan, and I am still alive now, but Wood and Murphy died because of it, I have always felt that maybe the one who should really die is me." ”
He walked slowly to Britney with his sword in hand, stopped in front of the bushes in front of her, handed the sword to Britney, and said, "If you really want to avenge Murphy and don't hurt Catherine, it all started and should end with me." ”
"Take advantage of Lilith's absence, use it to end it all, and then leave here and disappear, don't let anyone know what you did, I don't want Lilith to take revenge on you again, if she knew that you did it, she would definitely go to such a lifelong point to pursue you. ”
Britney looked down at the silver sword in his hand, silently reached out to pick it up, the silver sword was quite heavy, Britney's one hand was not enough to hold it steady, she held up the sword with both hands, looked up at the silver shining sword body, the surface of the long sword that was recognizable seemed to reflect Murphy's smiling face.
She stared at the sword in her hand for a long time, and it seemed that ten thousand years had passed, and finally she raised her head, put down the sword in her hand and said to Rogge: "I will not kill you, but I will keep this sword, just like Catherine did, I have already slashed you, and it is all over." ”
Rogge nodded silently, took off the scabbard on his back and handed it to her, Britney took the scabbard and inserted the silver sword into the scabbard and put it on her back, looked up at Rog, who was silent and bowed his head, glanced at his hand and said, "Your hand, it seems that there is nothing wrong?"
"It's okay," Rog raised his right hand and tried to move his fingers, which seemed to have regained their original flexibility, he smiled self-deprecatingly, pointed his right hand at his neck and said, "Maybe the next time you want to cut me, you should try here, I'm not sure my head can be picked up like a hand." ”
Britney bit her lip, as if she didn't know how to answer his joke, and at this moment, an excited shout suddenly came from behind Rogge: "Stinky woman, stay away from the bad wolf!"
Before Britney could look back to see who it was, a big tree next to her suddenly fell down on her, Britney hurriedly raised her hand to support the fallen tree with her mental strength, but unexpectedly, a flying stone whistled from behind Rog and flew towards Britney's head.
Rogge quickly grabbed the stone flying in the air, turned back to Lilith who was standing not far behind him, and shouted, "Stop, little villain!"
Little Lori glared at Britney unwillingly, gritted her teeth and shouted: "It's not a misunderstanding, unless you ask me to cut off her hand, I won't forgive her!"
Rogge threw away the stone in his hand when he heard this, walked to her and squatted down, pressed his hands on her little shoulders and persuaded, "Don't make a fuss, aren't my hands good? Have you forgotten what happened between you and Catherine last time?"
Lilith pouted and lowered her head unwillingly, silent with a bitter face, Rogge gently cupped her little face with his hand, and persuaded softly: "Lilith, I know you don't want to see me hurt, but you can't repay everyone because of this, some people are hurt by us first......"
Little Lori shook her head and shook off his hand, buried her head in his arms and cried: "I don't listen I don't listen, I don't know what you're talking about, I don't want to forgive them, I hate humans because they hurt us, I hate them, I don't want to forgive them!"
"But you were once human too, my dear. Rogge hugged her tightly in his arms, kissed her on the head and said, "Promise me, forgive Britney, she's not a villain we should ask for a blood debt, she's just a child who hurt a friend by mistake on the spur of the moment, let go of the past hatred, we still have to deal with William together!"
Lilith put her arms around Rogge's neck, twitched her little nose, snuggled her face to his chest and listened silently, Rogge gently touched her soft hair and smiled: "Come on, let it pass in the past, all we should remember is the pumpkin head, do you want a pumpkin to eat?"
"I don't want to," Lori said, shaking her little head with a twitch, "I've eaten enough pumpkin, and I still have a piece in my pocket, and I don't want to eat it." ”
"Alright then, let's go eat something else. Rog picked her up with a smile and turned back to Britney, "Come back with us, if you don't want to go home now." ”
Britney glanced at the little Lori who was snorting in his arms, hesitated for a moment but nodded, and the three of them returned to the Knights' station together, and Catherine, who was helping Tali and Monica to deal with the injuries of the injured knights, inadvertently glanced back at them, and couldn't help but stand up in surprise when she saw Britney.
She watched uneasily as Roger and Britney, who were holding Lilith in her arms, came to the front together, smiled at Britney at a loss, and stammered, "You, you, Britney, you, are finally back......"
"Yes," Rogge smiled and looked back at Britney, who also looked embarrassed, and took the initiative to relieve them: "I have explained everything to Britney Spears just now, and all misunderstandings have been made clear." ”
"Britney, I'm ......" Catherine was in a relaxed mood when she heard this, and wanted to say something to Britney, but as soon as she opened her tongue, it seemed to be knotted, and she didn't know where to start, and at this time Tully and Monica also walked over, and when they saw Britney, they hurriedly greeted her cordially.
Britney smiled sneeringly, and Tali stepped forward to take her and Catherine's hands, and after learning that the matter had been clarified, she comforted the two girls with a pleasant face, and took Lilith from Rog's arms, and winked at Rogge while coaxing little Lori.
Rog understood what she meant, left the girls to her and Monica, strode to Antonio's side, and told him the news of Britney's return, and Antonio was surprised and delighted when he heard it, and finally let go of the heart that had been hanging for Britney.
"In this way, we can also deal with William with confidence. Antonio looked at Rogge with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to the knights in front of him, who had just arrived in a neat line, and said to Rogge, "I have brought all the remaining knights here, and in addition to some of the reinforcements sent to us by His Majesty the Holy Emperor. ”
Rogge followed the direction of his finger and saw more than a hundred silver-armored knights lined up next to them, as well as many soldiers with golden armor and golden guns, only to hear Antonio explain: "I reported the situation here to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty heard that our attack was blocked, and sent a thousand royal guards to assist us. ”
"It seems that His Majesty the Holy Emperor is still very powerful. Rogge looked at the high-spirited knights and royal guards in front of him, turned back to Antonio and smiled: "At least much stronger than the high priest, I have a new impression of your Holy Emperor Majesty." ”
"Your Majesty, of course, is no less eager for victory than any of us. Antonio nodded approvingly, took the map delivered by the Harpy Witch in his hand to Rogge and said, "Although we have reinforcements, our forces are still far weaker than William's, and we will still suffer if we fight hard." ”
He looked at each other with the Lantern God floating beside him, and continued to say to Rogge, "So, just now I have been studying the map with the Lantern God and discussing William's possible hiding place, what do you think about this?"
"I was thinking about it just now. Rog tells the two of them the results of his thoughts when he was alone with Britney before they meet, and he asks the Lantern God to open the dimensional map and find the location of the Shadow Fortress on the dimensional map against the Harpy's map.
"According to my surmise, William will not stay away from the Shadow Fortress in order to take control of the whole situation, to ensure that the Shadow Fortress will not be taken out of his control and turned into a lost dog, and if he is to do so, the only place he can hide is in the crypt near the Shadow Keep. ”
Rogge drew a circle on the dimensional map with his hand, circled the Shadow Fortress, and then said to the Light God: "Light God, please search the crypts around the Shadow Fortress, we can use them as targets for surveillance and reconnaissance, if we find William's whereabouts, we can avoid the Minotaur in the Shadow Fortress and catch William directly." ”
The Lantern God immediately searched for nearby caves through the dimensional map, and found two caves under a hill on the southwest side of the Shadow Fortress and a dense forest on the east side of the Shadow Fortress, which were the two closest caves to the Shadow Fortress, and the other caves were more than two kilometers away from the Shadow Fortress.
"Looks like we're going to start with these two caves. Rogge and Antonio looked at the locations marked on the dimensional map and marked them on the Harpy's map, when Britney's voice suddenly sounded from behind them, "I know where William 'Bloody Hand' is!"
