Chapter 236: I'm going to give you a monk monkey
"How can a slave speak here!" the Amazon woman glared and slapped Rogge with a wave, but before her hand fell, Rogge's wrist was already stuck, and the splitter dragged her into her arms and strangled her neck, placing a shiny winged blade on her throat.
"I'm sorry, girl, I'm not a slave, and I just want to ask what that corpse looks like?" said Rogge, unhurriedly, looking down at the woman he was holding in his arms.
Seeing this, the surrounding Amazon warriors gathered around and aimed their spears and axes at Rogge, who looked at them calmly, and Lisa beside him hurriedly stepped forward to separate them, and shouted to the surrounding people: "Don't mess around, this is a misunderstanding!"
She pulled the woman aside and whispered a few words in her ear, and the woman looked Rog up and down as she listened, nodded slightly, and then followed Lisa back to Rogge and said, "That's right, when we were patrolling the territory, we found the body of a man on the west side of the territory. ”
"He was dressed in silver robes and looked like a clergyman of the Human Empire, and we had seen similar clergy in the border villages of the Human Empire before, so we knew their costumes. ”
"Where is he now?" Rogge nodded approvingly, continuing to ask.
"At the sheikh!" said the Amazonian woman, pointing forward.
"Take us to your sheikh. Rog turned back to Lisa, who nodded in agreement and led the four of them to the chiefess's quarters.
The group walked through the wooden houses dotted around the village to a large wooden house in the center of the village, in front of which a group of richly dressed Amazon women were gathered in the open space, and on the ground lay the filthy corpse of a man, his silver robes stained with swamp sludge.
Lisa let the four of them wait, and she walked quickly to the woman standing beside the corpse, surrounded by everyone, and Rogge stood in the distance to look at the woman, dressed in a beautiful animal robe decorated with colorful feathers, about forty or fifty years old, but with a tall waist and a tall figure, and her posture did not look old at all.
Lisa quietly told the female chief about the situation of Rogge and the others, and the female chief looked the four up and down with a deep gaze, especially stared at Rogdo a few times, nodded approvingly and asked, "It does look like a good man, what are your plans?"
"I've fought the man in charge, he's so powerful, we're afraid we won't be able to fight him if we're going to be tough. Lisa whispered in the chiefess's ear, "I intend to leave them behind, and then seduce him slowly, there is no man who is not dirty, and I don't believe he will not take the bait." ”
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you, if you can leave his blood and bones and give birth to excellent offspring for our tribe, I can list you as the next female chieftain. The sheikh patted Lisa lightly on the shoulder.
"I'll do my best, Chief Chief!" Lisa said confidently.
The female chief then summoned Rogge and the others to the front, greeted them with a pleasant face, and when she heard that the silver-robed corpse was the target that Rogge and the others were pursuing, she immediately agreed to let them inspect the corpse.
Rog crouched down next to the corpse, and for the first time he saw the dried blood at the corners of the corpse's mouth, he straightened the corpse's crooked head and used the Fallen Angel's gauntlet to open his teeth, and found that there was a large amount of blood in his mouth, which also emitted a strange sour smell.
He lifted the chin of the corpse, and found no wound on his neck, and lifted the priest's silver robe with his hand, and examined his chest and abdomen, and found no bruises or wounds, nor anything left on his body.
"Where the body was found, were there any other people or objects or bodies found besides this body?" Rogge asked the sheikh, getting up.
The sheikh summoned the person who had found the body and asked Rog to question her in person, and the warriorwoman told him that they had found only this one body, and that nothing else had been found.
"Did you find any footprints?" Rogge asked reluctantly.
"No, it's all mud and sewage in the area, and you can't see any footprints. After speaking, the female warrior groaned slightly, and then added, "By the way, there are three pairs of footprints in a small mud field to the west, and we followed them to find the corpses." ”
"And so it was. Rogge turned back to Catherine, Tully, and Murphy and said, "It is evident that Bach and the two priests who were with him walked over there and continued west into the swamp. ”
"The unfortunate man may have ingested poisonous plants or water on the way, as evidenced by the black blood on the corners of the corpse's mouth and mouth, as well as a strange sour smell from his mouth, which is also the smell left by the reaction of the poison in the human body. Rogge said, looking down at the corpse at his feet.
"Then we should catch up as soon as possible, and maybe we can find them. Tali suggested hopefully.
"You don't need to be in a hurry, it's too dangerous to rush in the swamp at night, at least it's not too late to leave after tonight, those two people will definitely not be able to walk fast in the swamp, I will take you to chase them tomorrow, and I will definitely be able to catch up with them!" Lisa hurriedly dissuaded when she saw this.
Rogge looked down at the corpse and muttered for a moment and said: "Judging from the stiffness of the corpse, this person has been dead for more than a day, even if we leave now, we won't be able to catch up with Bach tonight, everyone has been sleeping in the swamp for several days, and their physical strength needs to be recovered, it is better to rest here for a night first, and then hurry tomorrow." ”
The three of them felt that Rogge was right, so they agreed, and Lisa said goodbye to the chieftain with them, and led them to a vacant hut where they could rest for the night.
By this time it was already completely dark, Lisa had firewood prepared and a bonfire was built in the open space in front of the wooden house, Lisa brought fresh monitor lizard meat to the four of them, Catherine and Tali, who had never eaten a monitor lizard, carefully took a bite of the roasted monitor lizard leg, and Lilith was already sitting in Rog's arms and munching on it.
"Eat slowly, don't choke!" Rogge patted little Lori on the head, Lilith was startled by him, couldn't help but burp, turned around and glared at him angrily, lowered her head and continued to nibble on the meat in her hand.
"Is she your daughter?" asked Lisa, looking curiously at the little Lori in Rogge's arms.
Rogge was just about to speak, but Lilith, whose mouth was full of meat, slurred her speech and said first: "I'm not, how can a bad wolf have a good daughter like me who is smart, cute, and beautiful!"
"You can't stop eating meat!" said Rogge, squeezing Lilith's bulging cheeks.
Lisa couldn't help but smile when she heard this, looked at Rogge with an appreciative look and said, "I think Mr. Rogge should be very powerful if he has a daughter, and he will definitely be an outstanding young talent." ”
"Oh, that's not necessarily, a bad guy like me, whether there will be a girl like me or a question, I don't dare to think about other things!" Rogge shook his head with a smile: "What's more, isn't this little villain enough for me to scratch my head now?"
Lisa glanced at him tenderly with her brown eyes, and smiled silently, while Catherine on the side quietly observed her, and felt that something was wrong.
After dinner, Rog and Murphy let Catherine and Tali go to the cabin to rest, and he and Murphy sat around the campfire in the open space outside the cabin and chatted, while Lilith turned into little owls and flew to play in the village.
While the two were talking, Lisa suddenly came over, she greeted the two of them, and then said to Rogge, "I have something I want to talk to you about, can you come with me?"
"Can't we talk here?" asked Rogge and Murphy, looking at each other.
"I want to talk to you alone. Lisa said meaningfully.
"Oh well. Rogge nodded and got up and said to Murphy, "I'll be back in a moment, if the little villain comes back, tell her not to run around, don't get into trouble!" Murphy nodded in agreement and watched them slowly leave.
Lisa silently led Rogge through the village to the door of a wooden house, which she opened and said to Rogge, "This is my home, please come and tell me." ”
"Isn't it okay to be so late?" said Rogge, glancing up at the deep night sky.
"It doesn't matter, we don't have these taboos here. Lisa said with a smile.
Rogge nodded lightly and walked into the house, seeing that there was only a wooden bed in the room, covered with thick animal skins, Rogge groaned slightly, and before he could turn around, he was suddenly hugged by Lisa from behind.
"Miss Lisa, I beg your pardon, what are you doing here?" asked Rogge, calmly looking back.
"Mr. Rogge, you just said that you are a bad person, and no girl will like you, but I am an exception, I like you, and I will give you a monk monkey......" Lisa whispered in his ear as she hugged Rogge.
"Wait...... Wait a minute!" Rogge resisted not squirting, he turned back to learn her pronunciation and asked in surprise, "What did you just say, monk monkey?"
"Yes, monk monkey, isn't that what you say in your language?" said Lisa, looking at him solemnly.
"Okay, I can probably understand what a 'monk' is, but are you sure it's a 'monkey' behind it, and not some other animal?" Rog asked with a forced smile, "For example...... Owl?"
"Of course not, am I not right?" Lisa looked at him suspiciously, puzzled by his reaction.
"I think you should be talking about 'child'......" Rogge looked at her seriously, corrected in the tone of teaching children to pronounce, "follow me, it's 'child', not 'monkey'." ”
"Child, I know, I'm going to give you the monk monkey...... Kid!" Lisa said in awkward human language.
"Okay, this time, the pronunciation is finally right!" Rogge cleared his throat, then nodded, "Then, let's talk about the child's problem, according to the custom of our hometown, before discussing this matter, we must first close our eyes and pray to God as a sign of solemnity!"
Lisa nodded sincerely in agreement, the two faced each other and closed their eyes, and when Lisa opened her eyes after praying, she was surprised to find that Rogge was gone!
"I should have known that it wasn't that easy for these Amazons to invite us!" Rog muttered to himself as he slipped out of the cabin as he walked back through the sparse trees.
Suddenly, he stopped and saw a head peeking out of the shadows of the trees in front of him, looking at him with two sparkling eyes and letting out a strange laugh.
