Chapter 34: The Enemy of Fate

"What's wrong, Captain?" Douglas asked suspiciously, seeing Antonio's unusual expression.

Antonio handed him the letterbox and the letter in his hand, looked back at the vast snowfield and said, "The Holy Emperor sent Goethe and Bach to the Ice Island with the Priests of the Wings of Light, and now they have arrived in the City of Glory. ”

"Isn't that a good thing? In this way, we can completely control the situation on the Ice Island!" Douglas glanced down at the letter in his hand and said excitedly, "We can more easily catch Rogge with the priesthood!"

"I'm not worried about Rogge, I'm worried about other people. Antonio glanced back at the excited expression of the deputy head of the regiment, his worried and cold gaze made Douglas feel like he had been poured a basin of cold water on his head, and his smile instantly froze.

"As the head of the Priesthood of the Wings of Light, High Priest Goethe is the most famous fanatic of the Holy Order, not only people like Rogge, but also merfolk like Miss Tali are evil heretics in Goethe's eyes!"

Antonio turned his face back to the snowfield below the slopes, watched the sun shine through the snow and mist, and said, "I don't want Goethe and the priesthood to get involved in this, it could make the situation even more chaotic here!"

"But they have come, at the behest of His Majesty, and we cannot drive them away!" said Douglas.

"True, but we can't watch them mess things up, and I don't want to see Goethe and his fanatics go on a killing spree on the icy island!"

Antonio turned to his griffin and shouted to his men: "Mount, knights, let's go to meet the brothers of the priesthood!"

......

Meanwhile, Rogge carries the injured Murphy on his back to a sheltered knoll, under which he clears a clean piece of land for Murphy to sit down and untie his blood-stained clothes to try to help him with his wounds.

"Damn, this wound is too deep, what can I do about it?"

Rogge looked at the severe wound on Murphy's left abdomen, and could only use a strip of cloth to temporarily help him wrap the wound, then took out a cigar from the cigarette pouch on his waist, lit it, handed it to Murphy and said, "Come on, brother, this will help ease your pain." ”

Handing the cigar to Murphy, Rogge got up and was about to collect herbs, when she suddenly saw Tully's figure appear on the side of the hillside, she walked up quickly, and asked anxiously, "How is Murphy?"

"He's badly wounded, we lack a cure, can you save him?" Rogge asked worriedly.

Tali hurried to Murphy's side, bowed her head to untie the cloth that wrapped around the wound, examined the wound, and said, "I can help him stop the bleeding, but it may take some time to heal." ”

She lowered her head and handed the mermaid staff to her left hand, pressed the palm of her right hand against Murphy's wound, and whispered silently in her mouth, and a mist of water generated from the mermaid statue at the head of the staff, gathering in mid-air into a crystal clear petite mermaid girl.

The mermaiden floated around the staff, went around Tali's left arm, and went around her right hand, and spun around and burrowed into Murphy's wound.

Tali let go of Jade Hand, and saw the mermaid girl pass through Murphy's wound like a needle, stitch it up with her own body, and finally disappear without a trace, during which Murphy felt no pain.

"It's not life-threatening, but you won't be able to do strenuous exercise for a while, and you may tear the wound again. Tully looked up at Murphy.

The adventurer nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, Miss Tully!"

"It's okay, it's what I'm supposed to do. Tully nodded back to Catherine, motioned for her to take care of Murphy, washed the blood off her hands with the snow on the ground, and then got up and said to Rogge, "I want to talk to you." ”

"Alright, let's go up the hill and let Murphy rest quietly. Rog looked back at Catherine and said, "Lilith will be yours!" The girl nodded in agreement and watched them climb the hill one after the other.

"Tell me if you have anything to say, but I don't want you to be a lobbyist sent by the head of the regiment. Rogge cleared a clean piece of land in the snow at the top of the slope and sat down to light a cigar.

Tali quietly followed, not rushing to say anything, but took off Rog's dark blue cloak and wrapped it around his tattered body.

Rogge looked back at her with an inquiring gaze, and Tali sat down beside him and said, "You're so uncool today, not at all like the one I knew before. ”

"Thank you, that's because you've never really known me!" said Rogge, looking back at the snowy and misty fields around him.

"I really don't know what kind of grievances you have with Antonio, you have to fight to the death like this. Tali said as she grabbed the snow from the ground around her and rubbed it lightly, and the snow quickly turned into water that seeped into her skin, replenishing the lost moisture in the mermaid's body.

"Me and him?" Rogge looked back at Tali's snow bath, smiled and shook his head, "Between me and him, it's like a witcher and a vampire, it's just a game of cat and mouse, and there is no personal vendetta." ”

"Then why are you so angry? You seem to have a gritted hatred for him and the Order. ”

"I just don't want to see Lilith hurt by the Holy Order again," the smile on Rogge's face condensed into a solemn one, and he said in a solemn tone, "That little guy has already been killed by the Holy Order once, and I don't want her to go through it a second time." (See Chapter 2 for details.)

"Lilith ......" Tali's eyes widened in surprise and she looked up at Rog, who told her about Lilith's experience, and Tali was surprised to hear it, she didn't expect that the mischievous little owl to have such a painful past.

"Now you know why I hate the Order, right?"

Rog stared at her sad expression, took a deep puff on his cigar and said, "Lilith is just one of a thousand examples of the human people, and to the Holy Emperor, they are not living beings, but sacrifices like cattle and sheep. ”

"I understand your feelings, but I don't think Antonio is that kind of person, he didn't know Lilith existed, he didn't mean to hurt that little guy!" Tully's expression showed a rush to defend himself.

"I know that Antonio is the most upright of all the Synods I've ever met, otherwise he wouldn't have let us go just now!" Rogge nodded slightly in agreement.

"So, can't we put aside the fight and work together to find the Hallow?" Tali looked at him expectantly, and said emotionally, "Even if it's for my ......"

Rogge glanced back at her earnest eyes, gently put the cigar in his hand into his mouth, and sighed: "Maybe one day, I will work side by side with him to deal with possible troubles, but not now......"

Tali was silent, couldn't help but sigh softly, suddenly remembered that Alice was killed, and hurriedly asked Rogge for the truth.

Rogge told Tali about William the "Bloody Hand" and the three black-robed men, and Tali was surprised when she heard it, she thought for a moment and said, "So, it is likely that the body of the black-robed man was stolen by William, and as for the white fluff on Alice's hands, could it be Douglas?"

"It's not like I didn't doubt Douglas, but with that fluff alone, Antonio wouldn't believe me. ”

Rogge frowned, lowered his head and played with the white snow in front of him with his hand and said, "And I didn't figure it out, if it was really William who stole the body of the black-robed man, why didn't he help the black-robed man escape?"

He looked up at Tali and continued, "I've fought with him, I've seen him kill the Grand Master with my own eyes, his power is above mine, he can completely save his own men from falling into my hands and revealing his and the organization's secrets, but he is indifferent to this, I don't understand what he is thinking?"

"Maybe he's just hoping to use these people to lure you into chasing and fighting with the Knights, so that you can kill each other!" Tali reminded Rog at the right time.

"I don't rule it out, but I always feel that it's not that simple. Rogge muttered meaningfully as he heard an earth-shattering gunshot in the nearby snowfield.
