Chapter 389: Immortal Alchemy

Hearing Rogge's words, everyone gathered next to the door, put their ears to the door and listened to the movement inside, only to hear the sad voice of a young woman faintly heard inside, echoing in this silent and dark underground passage, which was terrifying.

Rog listened for a moment, then raised his head and said to the crowd, "It seems that we have found the owner of this tomb, and the person who made the voice inside is obviously the Duchess Raphael. ”

"I can't believe there is such a person, and she is still alive here!" Catherine asked in a surprised whisper.

"Not all legends are nonsense," Rogge whispered as he stepped back from the door, "The Lamp God has verified this with us." ”

"Listening to the voice inside, she seems to be pouring out the pain in her heart," Antonio said, glancing warily at the door, "It doesn't seem like a good idea for us to go in and see her now, when the master is in a bad mood." ”

"I don't think she'll ever be happy, and no one wants to live in a place like this forever. Rogge motioned for the people to push them away from the door, and said to them, "I'll go in and see, and you stay here." ”

After he finished speaking, he reached out to push the door, and suddenly felt his hat sink, and he couldn't help but stop his outstretched hand and said, "Didn't you understand what I just said, little villain?"

"You just used the word 'abbreviation', I don't understand!" replied the little furball forcefully.

Rog smiled, reached out and pushed the heavy door open a crack, and dodged into the door, where the others crept up and peered through the crack.

Inside the door is a semicircular hall, which looks like a large living room of a castle, and there are no lights in the living room, but the golden light emitted from the walls, floors, and pillars has reflected the hall in a bright light, and the whole hall seems to be made of pure gold, and if a match is lit here, it seems that it can brighten the eyes of the blind.

"That's a lot of gold, more than the big ugly dragon!" shouted the little furball, his eyes lit up in surprise, and he jumped around on Rog's hat.

"Shut up, little villain, now is not the time for you to scream. Rogge reached out and slapped her on her, and the little furball lay on his hat with a "chirp", pouting silently.

However, the people in the hall had already heard Lilith's voice, the woman standing in the center of the hall surrounded by countless golden figures, wearing a long dress made of gold leaf, and countless gold jewelry, if it weren't for the obvious contrast between her snow-white skin and the gold jewelry, Rogge would almost have thought of her as a statue.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" asked the woman's melancholy and vigilant voice, staring at Rog standing in the doorway with a pair of golden eyes.

"You should be the Duchess Raphael, right?" Rogge walked towards the woman unhurriedly, and when he reached about ten meters in front of the woman, the golden figure next to the woman suddenly turned to him, and stopped between him and the woman with mechanical steps.

"Don't come here again, just stand there and say anything, or they'll be unkind to you. The Duchess stood behind the golden puppets like a queen under the protection of the guards, stared at Rogge coldly and said, "I am the Duchess Raphael, what are you looking for me?"

"I've heard that you have immortality and alchemy, right?" Rogge looked at the Duchess and the golden golems in front of her, looking at her with suspicion, "Can you show me?"

A sneer of disdain appeared on the Duchess's lips, and she said, "Hmph, another greedy man who has come here to admire, I can tell you that I can turn everything you bring into gold, even yourself, and if you want to see all this, take me whatever you want." ”

"Thank you, ma'am, then!" Rogge took a few silver coins from his purse and flicked them at the Duchess, who reached out and grabbed them, and several of them fell at her feet, and the others were held in her hands, and when she opened her fingers, the silver coins lying in her palm had turned into gold coins.

"Did you see that?" the Duchess glanced at Rogge coldly, and threw a few gold coins back to him, Rogge took the gold coins in his hand, and looked at them with the little furball lying on top of his head, and the little furball jumped into his hand, and pecked twice on the gold coin with his mouth, and found that there was no trace.

"It's really gold!" the little furball jumped happily, jumped off his hand and landed on the ground, turning into a little Lori and snatching the gold coin from Rogge's hand and putting it in his money bag.

"Little money-gotter!" Rogge glanced at her, looked up at the Duchess, and said, "You are worthy of your name, but bearing witness to your legend is not the only purpose for which we are here. ”

"You have come here for nothing more than money," the Duchess glanced at him contemptuously, turned to the golden throne in the middle of the hall, and said, "Over the years, thousands of people have come here, and they have all had one purpose, and that is to take with them an innumerable amount of gold. ”

She sat down on the throne and looked at Rog, who was blocked by the golden golem, and said, "I have even seen them kill each other in this hall for the ownership of a chest of gold, and finally spill their blood on the gold chests and coins. ”

"I don't think any of them managed to take a single gold coin in the end, right?" Rogge asked interrupting the Duchess with a sudden smirk.

The Duchess frowned when she heard this, and nodded in surprise: "You're right, although I don't know how you know, they really didn't take anything with them. ”

"Themselves," said Rogge, taking a cigar from the pouch at his waist, lit it, and brought it to his lips, looking around at the golden golem in front of him, "they are here, in front of me, aren't they? ”

"You are astonished," said the Duchess, rising from her throne and looking at Rogge curiously, "you can see through the costumes of these golden golems!

"So, there should be no less than a thousand golden puppets in this castle?" Rogge took a puff of cigarette and gently blew out a wisp of green smoke, the smoke formed the image of a soldier in the air, and waved the "spear" to hit the golden puppet, and then the smoke dissipated.

"You're right again," the Duchess nodded as she stared at Rogge with interest, "There are nearly a thousand soldiers in the castle themselves, and with these guys who have been turned into puppets, there are thousands of them, and I think they will continue to increase in the future." ”

"That's right," Rogge said with a slight bow, "That's what we're here for, there's a group of demons fighting your army, I don't think they're here yet, but there's no doubt they're coming, they want to take your army and use them to wage war against humanity." ”

"No demon can take away my army," the Duchess sneered fearlessly, "You seem to know me well, then you should know the immortal curse that has been applied to me, I have been pierced through my body by countless sharp blades, but I am still alive, no one can kill me and take away my army." ”

"I'm not worried about that, I'm afraid that they might trick you and use you and your army to attack human towns, just like that noble lady did back then. As he spoke, Rogge reached out and pulled back the little Lori who was approaching the golden puppet with a curious face.

"Hmph, do I seem to be very easily deceived?" the Duchess seemed to feel insulted, and sneered coldly, "Besides, how do I know that you didn't make up these demonic plots to deceive me?"

She stretched out her hand and pointed to the door behind Rogge and said, "Do you think I don't know? Behind this gate, there are five people who are eavesdropping, and I can feel the breath of life emanating from them, what do you sneaky guys want to do?"

With the voice of the Duchess, the golden puppets clenched their fists violently and surrounded Rogge from three directions, and the little Lori saw that the situation was not good, and turned into a little owl and hid behind Rogge's neck.

"Don't get excited, ma'am, we have no ill will, and allow me to introduce you to my companions. Rogge calmly looked back at the door, and said aloud, "Come in, men, and let Madame meet you." ”

Hearing Rogge's words, the four people outside the door exchanged glances, and Antonio was the first to enter the hall and came to Rogge's side, and Rogge introduced to the Duchess loudly: "This is Mr. Antonio, the leader of the Imperial Holy Guild's Silver Dragon Winged Knights, His Majesty's right-hand man, the demon conqueror!"

"It's up to you to come up with this last title!" Antonio muttered as he glanced at Rogge with a slanted eyebrow.

Rog smiled and stretched out his hand to Tali who was following closely and said, "This is Miss Tali, the guardian of the Mermaid Temple, I don't know how much you know about the Mermaid, maybe you have heard of the legend of the mermaid, so now you have seen the real mermaid." ”

The Duchess looked at Antonio and Tali standing beside Rogge, and her eyes were full of admiration for Antonio in armor and Tali in gauze skirts, and the noble temperament revealed from them made her impression of these people change a little.

At this moment, Locke suddenly appeared from the other side of Rogge, bowed to the Duchess with a polite face, and said: "Honorable Duchess, under the magician Locke, it is a pleasure to be able to witness your face, if there is anything that can be served, please do not hesitate to command, I will be very honored!"

The Duchess glanced at Locke's clothes, and saw that he was also quite gentlemanly, handsome and polite, and had some appreciation in her heart, and at this time she noticed that there was a person standing behind the crowd, she pointed her eyes at Catherine who was standing behind Rogge, and asked loudly, "Who is that person in the back?"

"Ah, I was about to introduce you," Rogge said, pulling Catherine in front of him, and said to the Duchess, "this is my student, Miss Catherine, a marksman, who was awarded the Royal Honorary Marksman Medal by King Larkin the Dwarf. ”

Catherine bowed to the Duchess respectfully, and when she looked up, she found that the Duchess's eyes were fixed on her face, and the girl looked at her with some uneasiness, feeling that the expression on her face was something wrong, and her eyes seemed to show endless hatred.

"Ma'am, what's wrong with you?" asked Rogge, too, sensing something unusual.

"Is your surname Blofeld?" asked the Duchess as she gazed at Catherine's uneasy face, and the girl shook her head in fear, only to hear her ask loudly, "You must be a descendant of the Brofield family, otherwise how could you look so much like the slut who killed me back then!"
