Chapter 358: The Blood Clan's Castle's Gamble Wins

The Convicts were hiding in the largest underground sewer cavern, and the Guilty Convicts' Guild Vice-President Robert and Rogge stood opposite each other, and behind Robert stood a large number of members of the Convicted Guild, all of whom were Robert's supporters and opposed Rogge's replacement of President Wood.

Behind Rogge, there were only Catherine, George, Donnie, Grant and Robin, as well as a few young people who were like-minded with George and others, a total of no more than twenty or thirty people, in addition to a large number of wavering bystanders, hiding in the corners and quietly observing the development of events.

"Lone wolf, I won't hand over the chairman's position to you!" Robert stared at Rogge on the other side and said, "Not only that, but I will do my best to investigate the cause of the president's death, I will definitely find out if you killed the president, if I find out that it is really like that, I will definitely make you pay!"

Robert's words caused a chord among the members, and Rogge, who was standing across from him, smiled unhurriedly and said, "You don't have to check, I can tell you right now that I killed Wood, and it was this sword that I used!" he said, patting the sword that Catherine was carrying beside him.

Rogge's words immediately caused a commotion in the crowd, and after a while, someone shouted: "Kill him, avenge the president!" The crowd suddenly became excited, and many people drew their weapons and stared at Rogge and the people behind him menacingly, and the scene became tense for a while.

"Don't be in a hurry to use the knife," Rogge calmly glanced at the sharp blades in the hands of the crowd opposite, and said loudly, "You are all vampire hunters, you should all know what happens when you are bitten by a vampire, do you want Wood to come back here and turn you all into vampires?"

There was another commotion in the crowd, many people put down their weapons and looked at each other, Robert sneered when he saw this, and said, "Who knows if what you say is true, even if President Wood doesn't become a vampire, you can still kill him and steal the badge, and then deceive us with lies!"

"Really?" Rogge took a sip of his cigar with a smile and calmly puffed out a smoke ring and asked, "If I really killed Wood and took his badge, then I need to talk nonsense to you here? I want your life only for a second, do you believe it?"

Robert's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he subconsciously took a step back, looking at Rogge vigilantly, for fear that he would suddenly attack him, Rogge laughed contemptuously, spread his hands and said to the people present: "Did you see that? Robert, is this your guts as the leader of a guild?"

"Robert, if you really think that the lone wolf wants to take away our guild, then you should kill him now and avenge the guild leader!" George wasted no time in shouting at Robert, and the young people behind him echoed in unison, and a few people in the rest of the crowd took the opportunity to heckle.

Robert glared at George with a blue face, and sneered: "Stinky boy, you shut up for me, you don't have a part to talk here!Lone wolf, don't think I'm afraid of you, I just don't want to be infighting at this time, let the vampires take advantage!"

"Oh?" Rogge played with the burning cigar with his dexterous fingers, walked towards Robert with a smile, and said as he walked, "That's very reasonable, in that case, let's not fight, how about Wendou?"

"What do you mean?" Robert asked cautiously as he watched Rogge wary, guarding against him attacking himself.

"Did you know that there is a vampire castle near Itali City?" Rog smiled and stopped a few steps in front of him, staring at him and saying, "That is the residence of Prince Gurman, the brother of the vampire king, who has been entrenched in it for hundreds of years, and is the highest-ranking noble fortress of the blood clan in human territory. ”

"Why are you mentioning this?" Robert's face turned a little pale, as if he was afraid to hear the name, but Rogge continued without hesitation: "At the beginning of the establishment of the Guild of the Guilty Judges, the reason why Wood chose the general meeting in Itali City was to contain Prince Gurman. ”

"For so many years, the Convicts have been fighting against Prince Gurman's minions, and have helped the Itali royal family fend off many attacks by the Bloods, and many of the elders who founded the guild with Wood have died in the battle with Prince Gurman, and the Convictors present should be well aware of this. ”

Rogge looked around at the convicts present, and saw that the faces of many people had become solemn, but there were also some expressions that did not matter to him, and he continued quietly: "Now that Wood is dead, and since we are going to choose a successor, we might as well start with Prince Gurman's castle. ”

"Are you trying to invade Gurman's fortress?" Robert asked, his eyes wide in surprise.

"That's right, we're divided into two teams, with no limit on the number of people, and each of us will bring people into the castle, and whoever kills Prince Gurman first will be the president of the guild!" said Rogge, holding his cigar to the corner of his mouth and looking at Robert with a defiant smile.

Robert lowered his head with a pale face, hesitated and didn't dare to express his position, and Catherine behind Rogge urged when he saw this: "If you don't dare to compare, give up the position of president to Mr. Rogge, do it or not, hurry up!"

Everyone present focused on Robert's face, cold sweat continued to slide down Robert's face, he was unwilling to be scared away like this, but to face Prince Gurman, he felt terrified.

At this moment, a man with a pointed chin and triangular eyes quietly walked up behind Robert and muttered something in his ear, and George on the other side recognized him as Carlos, Robert's henchman, and since Robert took charge of the guild, many decisions were made by him.

"You can't just throw in the towel!" Carlos whispered to Robert, "Promise the lone wolf, and we'll do it!"

"What do you say?" Robert looked back at Carlos expectantly, and heard him say: "The lone wolf just said, we will enter in two ways, if we find the prince first, we will stand still, wait until the lone wolf and he are defeated, and then come out to clean up the mess, if the lone wolf finds the prince first, we will just sit back and enjoy the success, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

"Makes sense!" Robert nodded appreciatively, the two looked at each other and smiled, Robert turned back to Rogge and said, "Okay, lone wolf, I'm willing to accept your challenge, when will we do it?"

"It should be dark outside now, let's get a little ready, and then let's go, you choose the helpers you want to bring, and my people are these five!" Rogge said as he turned to Catherine, George, Donnie, Grant, and Robin.

"Okay, no problem, we'll see you here later!" Robert agreed, watching Rogge lead the five people to turn around and leave, he sneered and muttered: "Lone wolf, you are looking for your own death!"

An hour later, Rogge and the others met with Robert's men in full gear, and Robert carefully selected thirty of his best men, and the group left Itali City through the tunnels leading to the outside of the city, climbed out of the secret exit outside the city, and marched towards Prince Gurman's royal castle.

After about two hours of walking, the group walked through a gloomy forest to find a dark castle standing in the forest shade, it was midnight, the cold moonlight sprinkled over the castle, and you could see a swarm of bats flying over the castle from time to time, and the air was filled with strange sounds, which made people feel creepy.

"You go in from the east, we'll go from the west, and if there's no problem, let's go now!" said Rogge, looking back at a nervous Robert.

Roberto nodded and agreed, and led the people to turn around and march to the east side of the castle, Rogge took Catherine and the other five people to turn west, but they didn't go far before they stopped in the dark woods, Rogge sent the little owl to fly to find out the news, and after a while, the little furball came back to report that Robert and the others had approached the castle.

"Alright," Rogge nodded in satisfaction, turning back to Catherine, "Do you remember where Murphy died?"

"Yes. Catherine looked at him in amazement, not understanding why he had suddenly asked this.

"Come on, Lilith, take us to the place where Murphy died, and I'm going to see my old fellow. Rogge whispered to the little furball, and Lilith pouted in displeasure and said, "Why do you want to see the bad mouse, he has hurt you so badly, and you still have to go see him!"

"He's a victim himself," Rogge said with a meaningful shake of his head, "Elizabeth controlled his inner demons, and the demons swayed him and made him Elizabeth's puppet, and he can't be blamed entirely for all this." ”

"I don't want to go!" said the little furball, turning his little head away, angrily.

"Obedient, we have important things to do after reading this, don't delay business!" Rog said with a deep face, and Lilith glanced back at him, reluctantly making them all smaller, and carrying them to the place where Murphy died.

Under Catherine's guidance, they finally found the mound on the side of the country road between Itali and Turin, the grave was made of rubble, and Murphy's lightning sword was erected at the top of the tomb, and like Wood, there was only Murphy's crown in the grave, and his body had been reduced to ashes when he died.

Rogge knelt on one knee in front of Murphy's grave, looked at the tombless tomb with a solemn expression, caressed the stone mound with his hand and was silent, Catherine standing behind him silently turned her back, and the scene that happened before Murphy's death resurfaced in front of her eyes, making her eyes red.

Suddenly, Rog reached out and found a relatively large slab stone from the rubble, he took off the black leather gloves on his right hand, wrote a neatly written line on the surface of the stone with the sharp nails exposed by his fingertips, and then placed the stone on the top of the mound.

Catherine, who was standing behind him, noticed the line he had written, and she remembered that the same text was engraved on the sword of the Silver Sword of Soul Eater that Rogge had given her, and she leaned over curiously and asked Rogge, "What did you just write?"

"Yes, it's Elven. Rogge got up from the ground, took one last look at Murphy's tomb, turned back to her and the four young men, and said, "I know you want to know the meaning of the words, but now is not the time to tell you, we must rush back." ”

"Yes, we've been delayed for too long, and we still have a long way to go back to Gurmain Castle. George said with some anxiety.

"No," Rogge's reply surprised him and the young people present, "we will not go to Castle Gurman, we will go back to Itali." ”
