Chapter 40: The Mystery of the Titans
Ringing with the wailing of the goblin lair, Rog rushed out of the cave with Catherine and Lilith, and he hurried up the cliff, plunged his silver sword into the snow, tore his torn coat and threw it on the ground, and walked to the edge of the cliff and stared down into it.
Catherine stood behind him, watching him stand shirtless on the edge of the snow cliff and bow her head in contemplation, with a faint uneasiness in her heart.
He raised his left leg and stepped on a stone, his left arm pressed against his knee, his right hand pinched his waist like a tiger wolf standing on the top of a mountain, his arm tattooed with black wolf claws was bruised, and the fierce wolf on his back turned his head like a torch, as if staring at Catherine viciously, which made her even more frightened.
After a long time, Rogge glanced back at Catherine, who was silent, and seemed to notice the girl's panic and uneasiness, turned and walked back to her, drew the silver sword from the ground, and said in a calm tone, "Let's go, it's time to meet Tully and Murphy!"
Catherine nodded silently, glanced back at the little owl who was squatting in the snow and eating snow on the side, whistled softly, the little one looked up at her, Catherine snorted at her, turned to follow Rogge away.
"This stupid girl still has a little conscience, remember to tell me to come along!" the little owl muttered to himself, flapping his wings and landing on Rog's shoulder.
"You know what, we're in big trouble!" said Rogge, carrying his sword. The little owl rested on his head with his eyes closed, ignoring him, while Catherine asked tentatively, "What's wrong?"
"The man in black just now said a word into my ear before he died, and I can't tell if what he said is true or not, if so, things will be much more troublesome!"
Rogge rubbed his hand against the stubble on his chin and said, "He told me, Titan...... Do you understand the meaning of this word?"
"Titan?" Catherine shook her head blankly.
Rogge was not surprised by her reaction, he said meaningfully: "Yes, Titan, just in the north of this island, we are not far from the territory of the Titans, and the giants who live on the top of the snow-capped mountains can level the fishing village by the sea with one foot. ”
"It's terrible!" Catherine looked at Rogge in surprise, and Rogge nodded sadly and said, "That's right, if the mastermind behind the theft of the Sacred Weapon is really the Titan, our trouble is really not small, but I have never figured it out, what is the use of the Titan Giant asking for the Hallows?"
"Perhaps, they want to gain the power of the Vampire King, I remember you and Miss Tully talking about the usefulness of that artifact. Catherine cautioned.
"No, that's impossible, the power of the vampire king can only be possessed by humans, vampires, or other demons, and the Titans cannot use it. Rogge shook his head in disagreement without hesitation.
"Perhaps, they want to resurrect the Ghost King and make him do their bidding......" Catherine guessed again.
"Little baby, have you ever seen a vampire?" Rog suddenly looked back at her and asked, the girl was stunned for a moment, biting her lip and shaking her head in confusion.
"So, you don't know what the Bloods are, they're not caged birds, and they're not puppets at the mercy of others!" Rog sighed softly, turning his gaze to the snowy fields ahead.
"I'm not a caged bird!" Lilith interjected as she suddenly jumped on his shoulder.
"You're a little glutton who only steals my dry food!" Rogge glanced at the little furball and continued to Catherine: "The vampire king cannot be controlled, he comes and goes without a trace, only the divine power can imprison and seal him, but they can't kill him, the only ones who can kill him are purebred werewolves." ”
"Werewolf ......" Catherine shuddered a little, and her mind couldn't help but recall that terrible dream on the snowfield.
"yes, so the Hallows are useless to the Titans, and I can't figure out why they stole them. ”
"Moreover, if they really want to seize the Hallows, why would they rely on the 'Bloody Hand' William and these traitors? With their strength, they can directly start a war to seize the Hallows, and the merfolk can't compete with the Titans!"
"Maybe they made an alliance with William the Bloody Hand, and each side took ......what they wanted," Catherine persistently speculated.
"Perhaps, anyway, we're afraid we'll have to go deep into the Titan's territory to find out, but this is likely to be a point of no return, those big men don't have a good temper!"
Rogge sighed helplessly, patted Catherine on the back and said, "Come on, hurry up, let's go to the border post first, and see if we can get something out of the mouths of the great magicians!"
The two quickly reached the place where the sleigh had been smashed, then turned north, and after crossing a stretch of snowfield with a flat river, they finally saw the outpost fortress.
It stands on the edge of a glacial river, with the territory of the Mage Tower to the south and the majestic snow-capped mountains to the north, the territory of the Titans.
When the two came to the gate of the fortress, Rogge glanced at the castle tower, except for the blue pennant of the mage tower fluttering in the wind and snow, there was no figure, he shouted loudly to the city, but received no response.
"What's going on? How can there be no one?"
Rogge frowned in surprise, turned back to Lilith and said, "Little one, fly up and have a look, find a way to open the door!" Lilith squirmed her little buttocks and didn't move it, and was kept by Rogge in his hand and thrown in the direction of the city wall.
"What a rough gentleman!"
The little furball grumbled and staggered up the city wall, and Rog didn't have the heart to quarrel with her, and waited outside with Catherine for a long time, but the little one was nowhere to be seen, which made him secretly suspicious.
Suddenly, the gate of the fortress opened suddenly, and the two hurriedly stepped forward to meet Lilith who was standing at the door, and saw the girl stretch out a little finger to cover her lips and say, "Shh, something happened inside, there is a group of bad guys surrounding the mermaid and the injured 'scorpion' in the square!"
"Could it be that the guy who secretly helped the man in black finally appeared?" Rogge was shocked, and quickly asked Lilith to lead the way, and the three of them walked along the winding road in the fortress to a high wall on the outskirts of the square.
Rog looked up into the plaza below, and saw a group of silver-robed men holding silver tomes, eyeing Tali and Murphy in the middle, and the mages of the Mage Tower standing on the grand staircase of the castle behind them.
A man with a silver scepter stood not far in front of them with a majestic face, pointing at them with a scepter and asking loudly.
"Wings of Light Priests!Why are these guys here?" Rogge recognized at a glance the identity of this man, who was none other than Bach, the executive priest, the head of the Wings of Light Priesthood.
"Damn executioner!" Lilith beside Rog recognized them, and a flame of hatred quickly ignited in the little girl's eyes, and her little teeth bit her lip so tightly that she almost bit her little lip to blood.
"Calm down, my dear, let's see what happens!" Rogge took the trembling girl in his arms and comforted her softly, staring at the situation in the square with Catherine.
"Your Excellency Bach, we have no grudge against the Holy Order," Tali's indignant voice came from the square, "I have already identified myself to you, I am the temple guardian of the merfolk, not the so-called 'witch' as you say!
Before Bach could reply, a gloomy voice came from behind him: "Hmph, pale quibble! The merfolk are the same as the elves, they are heretics, and the human sailors are tempted and devoured by the fish demons on the sea, and there are countless people who are tempted and devoured by the fish demons on the sea, you are not witches, you are simply banshees who eat, and you are no different from vampires!"
A majestic man in a golden robe appeared on the grand staircase of the castle behind Bach with a voice, and the shining golden scepter in his hand pointed at Tali and said sharply: "Saints, what are you waiting for? Get rid of this banshee and execute her along with the thieves around her!"
