"About Mr. Rogge?" Catherine looked curiously at Murphy's hesitant face, not knowing what he was going to say to herself.

"Have you noticed anything special about him?" asked Murphy, looking at Catherine across the table with a cautious expression.

Catherine frowned suspiciously, looked down and thought for a moment but still didn't think of anything, so she had to shake her head blankly, and Murphy saw her so reluctantly said, "For example, his extraordinary senses of sight, hearing, and smell, his running speed, his strength, and his ability to heal wounds......"

"Isn't that normal?" Catherine looked at him curiously, as if he was the weird person, not Rogge, and she said, "You've also been to the Oak Temple, how many magical things the Great Druid has, even trees can walk, flowers can talk, Mr. Rogge, as his student, is not surprised to know this!"

"Then why didn't he become a vampire after being bitten by a vampire?" asked Murphy persistently.

"Didn't you see him drink the potion that the Great Druid gave him?" Catherine replied disapprovingly, "Monica is just a little flower spirit next to Master Augustine, and her healing ability is already very powerful, even Miss Tully can't compare to her, let alone a master like the Grand Druid?"

"But why didn't he prepare more potions?" Murphy frowned, the suspicion on his face unabated, and he said, "If he had more potions, he could have saved Wood without having to kill him himself, and why didn't he pass on the recipe of the potion to the human healer so that we didn't have to worry about vampires?"

"What the hell do you want to say?" Catherine's face became serious when she heard this, and she looked at Murphy with suspicion, but Murphy didn't answer her words, but continued: "And the last full moon night, don't you think he behaved weirdly?"

"Don't mention the last incident!" Catherine said as if she had been electrocuted, slamming up from her wooden chair and raising her eyebrows, "I don't know what kind of prejudice you have against Mr. Rogge, but I don't want to hear you slander him in front of me!"

"Catherine!" Murphy also stood up and looked at her with a serious face, "I am not maliciously slandering him, there are indeed too many weirdness in him, you can't turn a blind eye to it!"

"All the weirdness you said can be explained!" Catherine was unmoved by his earnestness, sneered and shook her head, and said, "He didn't save Mr. Wood because we were in a hurry to leave the Oak Temple, and he didn't get the potion from the Great Druid at all!"

"As for the introduction of potions into the realm of humans, you have also seen how the Holy Order treats druids and witches, if it were me, I would not pass the potions to humans, this is not surprising!"

She paused slightly, and continued angrily: "As for that moonlit night, you don't know how much he endured in order to lead us out of the poisonous fog, Monica and Miss Tully have both examined his body, and it has been clear that he was caused by poisoning, don't doubt him with this matter anymore!"

After saying that, she glared at Murphy coldly, turned around and walked towards the door, Murphy followed and grabbed her arm, Catherine turned around sharply and shook off his hand, hearing Murphy's bitter persuasion: "I just hope that you don't get carried away by your inner feelings, he is far more dangerous than you think!"

"Danger?" Catherine sneered and turned around, looking at him with an expression that looked like there was no cure, and smiled: "What are you afraid of? I'm afraid that he will kill me?

She approached Murphy until they were almost face to face, she stared at Murphy's eyes, and said to him sternly, "I know why you want to slander him, if you think that if you call him a monster I will pour my heart on you, then you are very wrong!"

"Don't make me look down on you!" Catherine turned and strode out of the room, and as the door slammed shut, Murphy let out a long sigh and turned around and smashed the table with a hard punch.

He slumped in his chair, staring at the broken wooden table in front of him with lost eyes, his mind recalling Elizabeth's words from the Hydra Lair, the words written on the wall by the vampire princess constantly flashing through his mind.

In a moment, he jumped up from his chair and tried to rush out of the room and tell her everything Elizabeth had told him, but as he walked to the door, he hesitated again and turned back.

"No, I must show Catherine the truth, I want her to see the real him with her own eyes, only then will she understand my good intentions!" Murphy said as he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

......

The next morning, the group had breakfast together in the inn's restaurant, and when Rogge returned to the inn late last night, he and Monica found the young men who had been rescued by Catherine and Murphy, and gave them a share of the property of Baron Hood, and asked them to take the money to a nearby town to settle down.

Catherine, who had not spoken to Murphy because of yesterday's incident, had been asking Rogge about the young men who had been rescued, and when she learned that they were all safe and sound, she said to him, "Mr. Rogge, I have a request. ”

"Say it, baby. Rogge replied nonchalantly.

"Can we go south, I want to see my father's grave. Catherine looked at him expectantly.

"Of course, baby, that's no problem at all. Rogge readily agreed.

"Thank you!" Catherine smiled gratefully.

After breakfast, Rogge paid the innkeeper's bill and led the group out of Willistown, where Catherine led them south, through an open field, to a small village of peace and quiet.

"From here, continue to the south, and you will find the Sun and Moon Forest. Catherine pointed to the great green forest in the distance.

"What a beautiful place!" Rogge smiled appreciatively.

"Can we go back to Grandpa from here?" cried the little furball as he leaned on Rog's hat.

"You know the answer. Rogge said meaningfully.

"Hmph, bad wolf, don't you want Sister Long?" said the little furball with a pout.

"Of course, I'd love to know how Grace is doing, but we can't go back to the Oak Temple right now, and that will delay us for weeks. Rogge said with a little regret as he looked at the forest in the distance.

Several people followed Catherine to her father's grave, fresh flowers were placed in front of the tombstone, and the weeds around it had just been cleared, Catherine knelt down in front of the tomb and looked at the tombstone and said, "It must be that my uncle came not long ago, and my father's grave has always been his cooking." ”

"After all, they are brothers. Rogge and Murphy said, standing side by side and staring at the tombstone.

Catherine nodded, caressed the tombstone with her hand, leaned forward and kissed her affectionately, and said emotionally: "Father, my daughter is back, are you okay in heaven......?"

Speaking of this, a tear rolled down from the corner of her eye, Catherine wiped the tears from the corner of her eye, and suddenly heard Lilith's sobbing voice behind her: "I miss my mother too......"

Catherine looked back at the little furball with sympathy, and called softly, Lilith flew down from Rog's head and landed in her hand, Catherine gently stroked her body and said, "If you have a chance, I will also accompany you back to see your mother." ”

"But I don't know where my mother is buried......," Lilith cried sadly.

Hearing her say this, Catherine's heart could not help but ache, and she held the little owl tightly in her arms, and silently felt each other's sorrows and longing for their relatives with her, and the warm breeze blew through the sunny field, blowing their sorrows into the distance.

At that moment, the sound of trampling on the weeds caught Rogge's attention, and he looked back in the direction from which the sound came and saw a man dressed as a farmer stopping not far away, looking at them with a puzzled look.

Rog patted Catherine on the shoulder with his hand and pointed in the direction of the farmer, and the girl looked back at the farmer, and after a moment of staring, she suddenly stood up and shouted to the farmer, "Uncle Jock, is that you?"

"You are ......" The farmer looked at the handsome and beautiful girl in front of him with wide eyes, and for a moment he could not recognize who she was, but heard Catherine take a few steps forward and shout, "I am Catherine, your niece!"

"Catherine, oh my God!" the farmer cried out in a trembling voice, and staggered forward with excited steps, Catherine hurriedly met him, and the farmer held her face in both hands and looked at her face for a long time, and nodded happily: "Yes, yes, it's my little Catherine, child, you are finally back!"

"Uncle!" Catherine hugged Jock and cried, Jock hugged his niece and burst into tears, and Monica and Lilith behind Catherine couldn't help but cry when they saw this scene.

"I didn't expect it, child, after all these years, we all thought you were dead, God willing, God forbid!" Jock said as he cried, and Catherine wiped tears from his face with her hand, but she herself was already covered with tears.

"I'm relieved to see you now grown up and become so beautiful," Jock sighed, looked at the slim Catherine in front of him lovingly, and said, "For so many years, I have been very sorry, if I could have persevered back then and didn't let your aunt send you away, maybe you could have suffered less......"

"Don't say it, uncle, it's all over. Catherine shook her head again and again, and while wiping the tears from her uncle's face with her hands, she said, "It's not easy for you, I know my aunt's temper, you can't resist her, I don't blame you." ”

Jock nodded gratefully, and his eyes fell on the two men behind her, he looked Rog and Murphy up and down, and felt that they were not ordinary people, so he quietly asked Catherine, "Are those two your friends?"

"Yes, this is Mr. Rogge, this is my teacher, this is Murphy, this is Lilith, this is Monica, they are all my friends. Catherine happily introduced them one by one.

Jock shook hands with Rogge and Murphy one by one, thanking them for their help and care for Catherine, and at the same time being very surprised by Little Flower Spirit and Little Furball, and surprised by the fact that his niece knew so many strange people, he invited everyone to his house again and again.

Catherine was at first worried that her aunt would not want to see her, but she had to accept her uncle's repeated invitations, and Jock happily took her niece's hand and led them towards the village.

The three of them followed Jock all the way to the entrance of the village, and suddenly saw a large group of heavily armed soldiers standing at the entrance of the village, and a majestic officer saw them coming, pointed at them with his hand, and shouted: "Stop!"
