Chapter 6: The Son of the Dragon

"Ahh

Rog on the side heard the exclamation and hurriedly looked back, only to see Lilith in a black feather coat standing in front of Catherine with a wicked smile on her face, a small hand raised high, and it was stained with blood red.

"Hey, little villain, what are you doing? What's the matter with your hands?" Rogge turned and strode over to Lilith, glanced at a frightened Catherine, patted her shoulder with his hand for comfort, and then turned his gaze to Lilith.

"I'm just patting her on the shoulder to say hello, cowards are always scared to death by themselves!" Lilith retracted her bloody hand casually, looked up and said to Rogge, "In the next room, there are three corpses, which seem to be the family of the old man on the wall." ”

At this time, Tali, who heard the noise, also appeared at the door, she looked at the three of them, and asked Rog about the scream just now, Rog shook his head slightly to indicate that she was okay, and then asked her if anything had been found.

"That's exactly what I want you to see, and you'd better come over and see it. Tali waved to Rog as she spoke, turned and disappeared into the darkness outside the door, and Rogerly picked up Catherine, patted Lilith's little head in punishment, and followed Tali out of the room.

Turning a hallway, the three of them came to the door of a room, where Tali called Rog into the room and pointed to an open cabinet for him to see, only to see that the cabinet was piled high with gold and silver coins, radiating a brilliance that was difficult to hide in the darkness.

"This man has so much money in his family, and that's enough money to pay for the bounty he wants me!"

Rogge threw the burned cigar on the ground and trampled it out, grabbed a handful from the pile of coins, shook it with his hand, and threw it back into the cupboard, saying, "I think I probably know what's going on." ”

He looked at the expectant expressions on the faces of the three people, stared at the gold and silver coins scattered all over the ground, and calmly analyzed: "First of all, there is no trace of a fight in the room, which means that this family is familiar with the murderer, and the murderer is an accomplice to him. ”

"These people stole the holy vessels, transferred them through the cave to the house of the homeowner, and then killed me to divert the attention of the pursuers, and the money was supposed to be paid by the buyer. ”

"But why was the money thrown here and not taken away?" Catherine glanced at the gold and silver coins scattered all over the floor in front of the cabinet, and she knew the value of the money because she was short of money, and wondered how much money would be thrown here.

"There are two possibilities, either the mastermind behind the scenes is rich, or our presence happens to alarm the murderer, so that he doesn't have time to transport the money. ”

Rogge said and glanced at the furnishings in the room, but found nothing unusual, so he strode out of the room, and said as he went, "Come on, girls, we should go, maybe we can find the clues of the killer and find his whereabouts!"

The four of them had just walked to the door of the courtyard of the mansion, and suddenly saw a team of people and horses flying to the door, led by a silver helmet and silver armor, riding an iron-armored war horse, and stopped in front of Rogge.

"Who are you, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" asked the Silverarmoured Knight with a majestic shout from his overlaid helmet.

Rogge glanced up at the coat of arms that symbolized his status on the horse he sat on, and sneered and said to himself: "The Knights of the Silver Dragon Wings, the road is really narrow!"

Before the words fell, more than a dozen knights had already gathered around, and the knights' spears in their hands were aimed at the four of them together, and the torches lit up the surroundings.

The silver-armored knight at the head looked at the sneer on Rogge's face, and after a moment, he suddenly asked, "You are the 'lone wolf' Rogge who has been hunted for ten years by the imperial bounty?"

"And you should be the head of the Silver Dragon Winged Knights, nicknamed 'Son of the Dragon', Antonio, right?" Rogge smiled defiantly and continued, "You, the heroic warrior under the command of the Holy Emperor, are as small as thunder, what kind of wind blew the captain into this remote countryside?"

"Hmph, what a flamboyant tongue, what are you doing here?" Antonio said as he glanced up at the big wooden house behind Rogge and the others, where several knights had already dismounted and entered the cabin.

Rog didn't answer, just stared at him silently, and a moment later, heard the knight's shout from inside the room.

"Regiment leader, four bodies were found inside, it should be the village chief and his family, there is a message signed by Rogge on the wall, and a large number of gold and silver coins that have not been taken away have also been found!"

Hearing the knight's return, Antonio lifted the mask of the silver helmet, pointed a pair of gray eyes as sharp as a falcon at Rogge, and asked in a deep voice, "This time, how are you going to explain?"

"It turns out that the old man is the village chief!" Rogge thought to himself, but asked with a provocative smile on his lips: "If I shout at this moment, will the head of the regiment administer justice for me?"

Rogge's smile made the hearts of the knights around him surge with anger, but Antonio seemed unusually calm, he separated the crowd and stepped forward, and said in a firm tone: "Whether you are wronged or not, you must go back with me today!"

"Are you going to take me back to your Holy Emperor, I'm not sure he'll want to see me, but if I do, I'll do a good job of thumping his legs, like this......"

Rogge walked slowly to Antonio's horse, and as he spoke, he suddenly kicked the horse's knees under his feet, and the horse's legs were wearing metal knee pads, which could not withstand Rogge's seemingly understated kick, and suddenly leaned forward with a soft knee and tilted Antonio off the horse's back.

The head of the knight was in danger, and he jumped forward in mid-air and somersaulted, a cold light flashed in his hand, and a knight's spear nearly two meters long flashed in his hand from the light.

The tip of Antonio's spear tapped the ground, and his body landed firmly on the ground, and then the spear flicked, and the spearhead flew out of the barrel of the spear, and flew straight to the back of Rog's heart like a sharp arrow under the traction of a chain.

At the last moment, Rogge suddenly turned around, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, he turned his right hand towards the flying sharp spearhead, and the little owl Lilith held in his palm faced the flying spearhead, and his two big eyes saw the spearhead stabbing at his body.

Just as the edge of the spearhead was about to pierce the little one, it suddenly stopped in mid-air, and the light from the two big eyes of the little owl shone on the spearhead, causing it to be completely still, suspended in mid-air and no longer moving.

"Badass, nasty, bullying!" Stopping the spearhead from flying, Lilith turned her head, pursed her lips and glared at Roger with an angry face, and scolded in a milky voice.

She broke away from the palm of his hand, pecked his hand with her hooked beak, and then jumped from Rog's right arm all the way to his head, two sharp claws that nearly tore the sleeve of his right arm into strips of cloth.

"Don't do that, I'm just doing a magic trick to liven up the atmosphere!"

Rogge spread his hands and smiled and looked up at the little owl standing above him, the little one was still angry, and tore the wide-brimmed hat on Rogge's head with his claws, leaving a row of visible cracks in the hat.

"I was wrong, dear, don't be angry!" Rogge said with a restrained smile, lowered his head and lit a cigar, grabbing the golden hilt of the sword behind his back with his right hand, and when he raised his head again, the corners of his smirking mouth and his fighting eyes met Antonio's eyes.

"This time, it's time to play the real thing!"

Rog pointed his sword and pounced on the knight commander, Antonio had already withdrawn the spearhead, seeing him pounce with his sword, the spear in his hand flew head-on, Rogge turned sideways and gave way to the spearhead, grabbed the barrel of the gun with his left hand, and pointed the long sword in his right hand directly at Antonio's chest.

The knight commander was not in a hurry, the spear in his hand flicked out, and the spearhead of the spear flew out, and the whole person retreated in reverse with the inertia of the spearhead, avoiding Rogge's blade, and the barrel of the spear swept at the same time, and the chain between the spearhead and the barrel of the spear was like the tail of a dragon, entangled around Rogge's neck.

"Rogge, this time, I'll see where you're going!" Antonio tugged hard at the barrel of the gun in his hand, and the chain that pulled the spearhead was immediately straightened, like a hook of death, tightening Rogge's throat.
