Chapter 118: Dig out your brain

"What's going on?" Antonio stepped forward, and Rogge and Kevin stopped beside him, one left and one right, and saw Murphy press Douglas down in front of Antonio, and the lightning sword flashing with lightning flashed at the back of his heart.

"Captain Antonio, we just found him alone in the woods with William the 'Bloody Hand', we wanted to get close and eavesdrop, but William noticed it, William left him and ran away, and we caught him back!" Murphy glanced at Douglas with a cold gaze.

Antonio's eyes widened in surprise, and Douglas, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head and shouted to him: "Commander, I was wronged, they framed me as William's traitor, I am not a traitor!"

The surrounding knights looked at each other and whispered one after another, some clearly showed disbelief, some shook their heads suspiciously, and some showed obvious indignation on their faces, and the crowd became agitated for a while.

"Quiet!" Antonio shouted back, and the knights immediately stopped talking and stood still, Antonio silently glanced at the pleading expression on Douglas's face and fell on Tali's face.

Tali sighed, seemingly reluctant to talk about it, but at the same time she could sense his longing in Antonio's gaze, and in his opinion, Tali was undoubtedly the most trustworthy person to trust.

"Murphy is right," after a long hesitation, Tali finally said it with difficulty, and she saw that Antonio's face had become a little pale, and she continued helplessly, "We were waiting here for Rogge to come back, and it was Catherine who noticed a figure running through the jungle. ”

She and Catherine looked at each other and continued to Antonio, "She said that the man's clothes looked like that of the Knights, because she saw the brilliance reflected on the surface of the armor, and no one on this island wore armor except the knights. ”

"So we followed, and finally we saw Douglas in the woods, and he stopped on a path, looking panicked, and then William suddenly flashed in front of him, and we thought he was going to fight William, but he didn't attack William, he just looked up at him. ”

Tali looked down at Douglas who was prostrated on the ground, and sighed softly: "We wanted to lean over and hear what they were saying, but William found us and disappeared in an instant, and we rushed up to question Glass, but he acted like he didn't know anything and refused to admit what William had said to him." ”

After listening to Tali's words silently, Antonio's face was gloomy like a thunderstorm in June, he turned around and walked away a few steps, stood by the lake and looked at the singing waterfall, his ears echoed with the rhythmic sound of the water, and asked in silence for a moment: "Tell me, when did you start helping William with things?" ”

"Commander, I didn't, I was wronged!" Douglas exclaimed excitedly as he stretched out his hands to look at Antonio's back.

"How are you going to prove your innocence?" Antonio's hands clenched into fists, suppressing the urge in his heart, and his eyes looking at the waterfall gleamed with hope, and he desperately hoped that Douglas would come up with some proof that he was not a mole.

However, Douglas shook his head, he did not show any evidence, but only told Antonio about his loyalty to the Order, about the years he was born and died with Antonio, about his past exploits and oaths.

Eventually, Antonio interrupted him, his expression looking hesitant, and after a moment of silence, he asked the trio, "Do you have any other evidence that he was a mole?"

"If there is any evidence, Mr. Rogge once suspected that he was Alice's murderer!" Catherine stepped forward.

As soon as these words came out, Antonio turned his head and looked at Rogge in surprise, and Rogge, who had been watching the changes, glanced at him silently, his eyes swept over the people present, and he nodded lightly and said, "Catherine is right, he is indeed suspected of killing Alice." ”

"What's going on?" Antonio stepped forward, grabbed Rogge's shoulder with his right hand, stared into his eyes and said, "You'd better have solid evidence, Douglas also identified you as the murderer in the case of Alice's murder, I don't want you to say that because of a personal vendetta!"

"I don't need to declare a personal vendetta, I can not interfere in this matter today, just the scene that Murphy and they caught is enough to decide his life and death, I just tell you what I have to say, after all, that incident has been hidden for too long. Rogge said calmly as he looked at Antonio.

Antonio nodded approvingly, asking him to explain the matter, and Rog told him what had happened, mentioning the pinch of white fluff that he had found in Alice's hand, and he took out the long-hidden puff from the bottom of the tobacco pouch and handed it to Antonio.

Antonio carefully compared the two entangled plush fabrics, although they had become yellow and rough after repeated environmental changes such as the sun and the moon, and the high temperature of the blisters, but intuitively, the texture of the two was indeed similar plush fabric.

"I told Tali about this when Murphy was injured, but I didn't ask her to tell you because I don't think it's enough to prove anything, but I'm just talking about it now, but I still don't think it's conclusive evidence. Rogge said, glancing at Douglas.

"Rogge is right, forgive me for not telling you, we don't want to wronged good people, this alone really doesn't mean anything, but on the other hand, Douglas did hinder Rogge from hunting down the black man many times. Tali walked up to Antonio and said with her hand gently touching his shoulder.

"Maybe you should also mention the incident on the glacier, I think if he hadn't told anyone about it, maybe we wouldn't have been ambushed and nearly drowned by the ice collapsing. Murphy wasted no time in reminding.

Antonio's brow deepens, and he shifts his gaze back and forth between Rog, Tully, and Murphy's faces, asking them to tell them everything they know, and Murphy tells him about the glacier's collapse, as well as his and Rogge's analysis of the cause of the incident.

After listening to everything, Antonio turned around and pointed his sword-like gaze at Douglas, he stepped forward and grabbed Douglas's neck with his hand, pushed his chin up, and gritted his teeth and said, "Let me ask you one last time, what did you do for William?"

"Commander, I swear by the honor of knighthood and my personality that I have not done anything sorry for you, sorry for the Knights, sorry for the Holy Congregation and His Majesty the Holy Emperor!" Douglas shouted with trembling all over his body.

Antonio stared at him with a blue face, suddenly let go of his hand and knocked him to the ground with a punch, pointed at him and shouted: "If you really become a lackey of the dark wizard, what kind of knight's honor and personality do you talk about? I want you to show evidence to prove your words!"

The corners of Douglas's mouth were bleeding, and he looked up at Antonio panting, wiped the blood from his mouth and shook his head gently: "No, commander, I can't prove anything, if you find me guilty, I can only accept it." ”

"Do you think I won't dare to kill you?" Antonio pointed with his right hand, the knight's spear flashed in the golden light, and the spearhead pressed against Douglas's chest, and said in a deep voice: "The knights will never accept betrayal, as long as there is any betrayal, there is only one way to die!"

His eyes were murderous, and the spearhead of the spear in his hand suddenly shot out, saying that it was too late, and one hand slammed into the shaft of the spear, and the spearhead fell to the ground beside Douglas.

"What are you doing?" Antonio looked back at Rogge angrily, Rogge shook his head calmly, grabbed Antonio's arm and said, "You come with me, I have something to tell you." ”

Antonio stood still staring at him, Rogge looked at him in surprise, frowned, and said: "It's not too late to execute it after speaking, he can't run away!"

Antonio glared at Douglas angrily, withdrew the spear from which he fired, turned and walked with Rogge into the distance, the two of them stood by the lake and looked up at the singing waterfall pouring down, and finally, Rogge spoke.

"Did you leave Douglass outside to guard the griffons?" he asked.

Antonio was silent for a moment, and suddenly realized that he slammed his spear into the ground and said: "Yes, don't you say that I forgot, he must have colluded with William to kill the griffin and the brother who stayed behind, this bastard must pay for the death of his brother!"

"Don't you think it's strange?" Rogge didn't answer, he took a cigar out of his tobacco bag, lit it, and brought it to his mouth, and said in a soothing tone, "Why did William suddenly run away when he saw Tali and them approaching?"

Antonio frowned and stared back at his side face, surprised that he asked this question at this time, only to hear Rogge continue: "William's strength is far superior to that of Tully, Murphy, and Catherine, and even if the three of them join forces, they are no match for William. ”

He took a casual puff of his cigar, watched the smoke waft out of his mouth linger on the surface of the lake, and whispered, "Then why did William flee from the wind and leave behind the spy he had painstakingly planted, and let everything fall short?"

"Think about the inner ghost of the Thinkmaster Tower and the traitor Alice of the mermaid clan, how beautifully they did, one helped William kill the Grand Master Constantine, and the other helped William steal the first holy weapon, but Douglas didn't seem to play a role!"

Rogge looked back at Antonio's gradually calm face and said, "In this case, William inexplicably threw him to three people who did not pose a threat, why didn't he kill Murphy and them to protect Douglas? ”

"What do you mean......" Antonio looked suspiciously at Rogge in the smoke, and saw a sly smile on the corner of his mouth: "I mean, you're going to dig out William's brain from Douglas." ”
