Chapter 325: You Are All I Have
At the entrance of the hydra's lair, the silver light flashed, and the last vampire scout was wiped out under the cold edge of the silver sword, and the blood-red swallowtail cloak fell to the ground with dust, and Rog, who strode from the cloak, rushed out of the cave, and climbed the hill on the south side of the valley in three steps and two steps.
He stood on the hill and looked around, under the boundless night, the swamp was silent and empty, Elizabeth and Anne were long gone, Rogge stood there and looked at the swamp and groaned for a moment, sighed, and stuck the silver sword in his hand into the ground.
He sat down on a rock, wiped his face with his hands on his knees, and stared at the swamp in the night with a deep chagrin in his expression.
Memories of the past kept flashing through his mind, Grace's wounded appearance, the tragic state of Jim the Tree Man being burned by the flames, the sight of the High Priest Goethe lying dying on the side of the road, the hollow-eyed corpse of the Executive Priest Bach......
Suddenly, he slammed his hateful fist into the rock he was sitting on, leaving a hole in the stone, and the shattered stone flew out and rolled down into the mud beneath the hill.
"It's really a wedding dress for someone else. Rogge shook his head with a self-deprecating wry smile, let out a long sigh, looked down at the bleeding wound on his hand, and reached into the cigarette pouch to touch the cigar, only to find that the cigarette pouch was empty.
"Well, that's the way it is when people are unlucky, bad news one after another. He withdrew his hand and sighed helplessly, looking down to think about his next plan, when he suddenly saw the little owl fly in front of him and turn into a little Lori.
"I'm sorry......" Lilith said apologetically, biting her little lip.
"Why?" Rogge looked at her curiously, wondering why she had suddenly apologized to herself.
"It's all my fault, I'm a coward," Lilith said with a bitter face reproaching herself, "If I hadn't been cowardly, I would have been able to fly over and snatch the holy weapon back when the bad hunter fell into the water, and I wouldn't have been snatched away by the stinky bats......"
Rogge stared at her little face silently, the immature little doll's face rarely had such a self-reproachful and depressed expression, and his eyebrows were full of remorse and apology, but he knew that it was difficult to make up for it, and it became more and more painful.
"Bad wolf, it's all my fault, you can beat me......" Lilith timidly raised her big eyes and looked at Rogge, her eyes flashed with tears of guilt, and her trembling voice made people feel distressed.
Seeing the tears falling from the corners of her eyes, Rogge smiled instead, he picked up Lilith and put her on his lap, held her in his arms, gently combed Lilith's soft and fluffy hair with his hands, and said softly: "Silly girl, you didn't do anything wrong, if you really fly to fight with Anne for the Hallows, I will stop you instead." ”
"If I want to sacrifice you in exchange for the Hallows, I'd rather choose the current outcome, William can sacrifice Hunt's life to fight for the Hallows, and Elizabeth can let Anne fly in front of Hydra regardless of her life and death, because they are just subordinates and slaves to William and Elizabeth......"
Speaking of this, Rogge looked down at her lovingly and said softly: "And you are different, you are all my ......"
Lilith looked up at him with emotion, Rog smiled and stroked her head, kissed her little forehead lightly, and said, "Without you, where else can I find a smart, beautiful, and powerful bird?"
"Bad wolf!" Lilith buried her head in Rog's arms, and shouted gratefully, her little body trembling uncontrollably, and Rog hugged her tightly with his arms, rubbing his cheeks lightly against her hair, and said, "Besides, we haven't lost yet! This is just the beginning......
"In comparison, it is much better for the Hallows to be taken away by Elizabeth than by William, at least we have a third Hallows in our hands, one Hallows for each of the humans, the Bloodline, and the Dark Wizard, the real game has just begun, and we still have a chance to turn the book, don't we?" Rogge chuckled in Lilith's ear.
"I know you must have a way!" Little Lori nodded vigorously in agreement and said, "I also want to work hard to help you defeat the stinky bats and bad wizards!"
"Of course, baby. Rogge bowed slightly approvingly.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of electricity coming from the valley behind him, and Rog got up and looked back into the valley, and saw a dimensional gap opening in mid-air, and the lamp god poked his head out of it to look around, waved at them, and then retreated.
"Looks like they're out. Rog picked up Lilith and sat her on his shoulder, drew his silver sword from the ground and walked into the valley, where Antonio, Catherine, Tully, Murphy, and Lisa had all come out of the dimensional gate.
"Look at you, it's not good news. Antonio looked Rog up and down, but found no shadow of the white jade staff, so he asked.
"That's right, Elizabeth ran away with the Hallows, and I didn't see William, maybe he escaped by some other way. Rogge said with a helpless shrug.
"It's not bad, at least William didn't get two holy artifacts at the same time. Antonio said with a sigh.
"I'm the same as you think, Captain. Rogge took Lilith off his shoulders and told her to go to Catherine's side, and he and Antonio walked aside and said, "Now, although Elizabeth has taken the Hallows, we still have a chance to redeem them, and if William takes the Hallows, we will be in trouble." ”
"What's your plan?" Antonio stared at Rogge's face, a hint of confidence in his expression.
"With Elizabeth's current prestige, she will not be able to return to the Cursed Lands. She must gain the soul power of the Vampire King before she can make the demons and undead of the Cursed Lands willingly obey her and unify the Cursed Lands that has been leaderless for a century. ”
"What do you mean......" Antonio's heart moved, stared into Rogge's eyes and said, "Elizabeth can't go back to the Cursed Land, she can only find a place to stay in the land of men!"
"That's right!" Rogge nodded approvingly and smiled, "As long as she is in the human realm, I can find out the situation of various vampire castles through the news network in the rangers, find Elizabeth's whereabouts and retrieve the Hallows, which is much easier than running to the Shadow Fortress to snatch it from William." ”
"You're right, I can also use the power of the Sacred Congregation and the Empire to your aid. Antonio agreed with Rogge's plan very much, but Rogge decisively objected to his words: "No, it's better for the head of the group to go back to the Holy Guild Palace to take care of the last holy artifact, I don't want the Dragon Cliff incident to happen again." ”
"You're right, that Goethe guy is really not reassuring!" Antonio said with a sigh.
"Besides, the rangers are relatively secretive, and once the Imperial side comes forward to make a big noise, it will inevitably alarm Elizabeth, but it is not good, so I should take Lilith, Catherine and Murphy to visit privately. Rogge said as he looked back in Catherine's direction.
"As for Miss Tully, take her with you to meet the Holy Emperor, and you two may explain the whole story to the Holy Emperor, and let him know how much trouble Goethe has caused us along the way. He said with a frown, his gaze falling back on Antonio's face.
The two of them had made up their minds, turned around and returned to the crowd together, and told everyone about the plan they had finally agreed upon, and the two decided to let the Lantern God open the dimensional passage first, send them back to the Amazon village, and send the Amazon guide Lisa back to the empire before setting off for the empire.
Led by the god of lights, the footsteps of the people stepped into the Amazon village through the dimensional gate, and the Amazon women were very surprised to see them suddenly appear, and the female chief rushed to meet them when she heard the news, and asked them about the situation along the way.
Rogge and Antonio didn't talk much about this, but said that their operation in the swamp was over, and sent Lisa back and thanked the Amazons for their help, Rogge wanted to leave Lisa behind and left, but the sheikh kept her again and again, so they had to spend the night in the Amazon camp and leave after dawn.
After settling the group, the chiefess summoned Lisa to her hut and asked her how she had succeeded in seducing Rog, who looked at her blankly, puzzled by what she had said.
After some conversation, the chiefess learned that Lisa had lost some of her memories during the trip, and she muttered for a moment and said to Lisa, "You go to him tonight, if it doesn't work out I will try to keep them, and then send more people to help you, I don't believe that man is hard-hearted and can't take the bait!"
Lisa did not dare to disobey the order of the female chieftain, so she had to leave the hut and creep out of Rog's house, she probed her head to listen to the door for a while, and was hesitating to go in, when the door suddenly opened, and Rog's face was reflected in her sight.
"The Chiefess asked you to come, right?" said Rogge, smiling at her with a somewhat apprehensive expression.
Lisa nodded uneasily, Rogge reached out and pulled her into the room and closed the door, Lisa watched uneasily as he turned to herself, stammering, "Actually, I ...... Felt ......"
"I know what you're thinking," said Rog as he walked up to her and put his hand on her shoulder, "you're thinking about Catherine, otherwise you wouldn't be what you are." ”
"You better go, I'll take you out of here, or tomorrow morning the sheikh will not let you go, and she will continue to pester you!" Lisa persuaded in a low voice.
"How would she know if she didn't complete the task?" Rogge stared at Lisa with a sly smile, Lisa looked at him in surprise, and after a moment, it suddenly dawned on her, and smiled: "It's still your idea!"
"Uh-huh, or I'm a badass?" said Rog Waner with a laugh.
......
The next day, when the Amazons woke up from their sleep and found that Rogge and the others had quietly left, the chiefess summoned Lisa to her room and asked her if she had succeeded last night, Lisa nodded silently, and the chiefess was very satisfied when she learned about it, and told her to take good care of her body and let her out.
Lisa, who left the chief's thatched hut, quietly left the village and came to the place where Rogge and the others left in the early morning, looking at the empty swamp, thinking about the bits and pieces that happened after meeting Rogge and the others, and her eyes seemed to reflect their backs when they left.
"Catherine, though I didn't tell you to your face, I have long since regained my memory," Lisa muttered to herself, "but I am still grateful that you have shown me what true love is, and I am touched by the sincerity of your love for Mr. Roger." ”
"I don't know if you can finally come together, and I don't know if you will have the opportunity to meet you in this life, I just hope that you can all be safe and find your own true love and happiness......"
