Chapter 392: The Last Sunshine of Life
"What are you going to do? Why are you hiding it from Antonio?" Tali looked at him with wide eyes in surprise, Rog put her mouth to her ear and whispered, Tali nodded as she listened, and when she finished listening to Rogge's words, she raised her head and still asked in confusion, "Is it really necessary to hide it from him?"
"In my personal opinion, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better," Rogge nodded resolutely, "Since the Marquis of Thunder didn't tell him about it, then let's not tell him for the time being, after all, we don't know his attitude towards werewolves, and I don't want the High Priest and the Holy Emperor to know about this matter through him." ”
"I see. Tali didn't say anything more, she understood that Rog didn't want the Holy Order to know much about him, especially the High Priestess Goethe, who was at odds with him, and that once he learned his secret through Antonio, Goethe was likely to take advantage of his weakness to harm him.
The two of them turned around and hurried back to the hall, Antonio and Locke looked at the two of them with puzzled faces, Rogge calmly faced their gaze, and said calmly: "I need your help, go to the silver road to remove the silver vicious dogs that are blocking the way, and then open the outermost gate to ensure the smooth route." ”
"Okay, let's go!" Antonio and Locke looked at each other and readily agreed, Tali asked the lamp god to accompany them out of the hall, and when they were gone, Rog asked Little Furball and Little Flower Spirit to watch out the door, and let anyone come and know in advance if anyone approached.
When only Rog and Tali were left in the hall, Rog asked Tali to close the door of the hall, lowered his head and closed his eyes, gritted his teeth to suppress the sound in his throat, accompanied by a dull roar, his body swelled sharply into a white werewolf more than three meters tall, and a green light appeared in his open eyes.
"We're too late to get started!" Rogge, who had taken the form of a white wolf, pressed his paw to the ground, and a patch of frost extended from his claw to the door, straight out of Catherine's heel, and the white wolf followed the ice path that stretched outward, until the corner of the hallway where the little furball was watching.
When the ice path reached the corner of the Silver Road, the White Wolf called the little flower spirit and the little furball who were guarding there and told them to go outside and inform Antonio and Locke to wait at the gate of the castle ruins.
After they were gone, the white wolf turned back to the golden statue of Catherine in the hall, carefully lowered her back on the ice path, he stood in front of Catherine, a pair of strong silver claws grabbed her feet, and pushed the heavy statue out of the hall with the gliding force of the ice path.
Tali stood in the doorway of the hall and watched him, even though he was more than twice as powerful as a werewolf in his human form, he still struggled to walk against hundreds of kilograms of gold, but the ice on the ground provided him with some help, allowing him to propel the statue forward inch by inch.
"Do you want me to help you?" Tali anxiously looked at the white wolf pushing the statue, stepped forward and asked, the white wolf shook his head at her decisively, gasped and said, "No, you can't help with this, trust me, I can handle it." ”
He held his breath and pushed the statue forward, and saw that the head of the statue gradually reached the door of the door, and at that moment, his long, sharp wolf ears suddenly moved, and he heard a sound of footsteps in the corridor on one side of the hall.
"Damn, time is running out!" the white wolf muttered to himself, realizing that the Duchess was about to return to the hall, pushing the statue forward with all his might.
The statue's head gradually passed past the gate, and the footsteps got closer and closer, and Tali, who was standing in the doorway, heard the urging footsteps, and her heart couldn't help but raise her throat.
"This won't work!" Seeing that it was too late, the white wolf suddenly straightened up and turned to run in the opposite direction, Tali was surprised to see him run a dozen steps away, leaning over and landing on all four paws, his emerald green eyes staring at the statue of Catherine lying in the doorway, and rushed towards her with all his might.
When he was about to approach the statue, he suddenly curled up and threw himself on the ground, and his body hit the statue's feet hard, and the statue that was hit by the strong impact instantly slid forward quickly, sliding out of the hall at once, and the white wolf fell on the ice path, letting out a low roar of pain.
"How are you?" Tali hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and the white wolf waved his paw at her and said, "It's all right, I just almost broke a bone." ”
Before the words fell, the door on one side of the hall was suddenly pushed open, and the white wolf jumped up from the ground when he saw this, picked up Tali and strode out of the hall.
"We were just a little bit away from being caught. Outside the hall door, listening to the Duchess's angry scolding coming from the hall, White Wolf and Tali couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, both of them looked at each other with some happiness, and suddenly found that they were still holding each other, and their faces suddenly became a little embarrassed.
"I now understand why the little bad bird is obsessed with you. The white wolf pretended to be calm and put Tali on the ground, and said with a wicked smile: "As a fish, you still have a lot of weight, and it is a great temptation for snack goods!"
"Is that what you think of a mermaid?" asked with a slightly teasing smile on Tully's red lips, "It's so special, I thought it would be the same as a human opinion!"
"Oh, human opinion, wait until I turn back to human!" The white wolf put his long wolf mouth to her sideburns and kissed it, Tali subconsciously dodged it, and heard him say, "That's right, it's weird to do human things in wolf form!"
Tali smiled as he walked over to the statue and tried to turn it around, then pushed it forward with all her might, pressing her claws to the ground with each step, extending the ice path forward for some distance, and when they turned around the corner of the silver road, Monica, the little flower spirit, suddenly flew from the opposite side.
"Lilith and I just met Duke Raphael at the secret door, and he told us something very important," said the little flower spirit, who flew up to the white wolf and said to him, "He said that we can't take any gold from here except the statue, otherwise the curse of alchemy will not be solved." ”
"We don't seem to have taken the gold with us, right?" the white wolf turned back to Tali, and the mermaid shook her head after a little thought, "Of course not, we came in from the Silver Road, and we saw the Duchess directly, and before we could say a few words, something happened to us, and we haven't seen any gold that can be taken away at all!"
"Alright, is it all ready outside?" the white wolf looked back at Monica, and the little flower spirit told him that everything was ready to be transported out.
"Alright, help me, we need to speed up!" The white wolf continued to push the golden statue, Monica released two vines from her body, flew in front of her to help drag the statue, with the traction of the magic vines, the statue's movement speed increased significantly, and soon passed through the Silver Gate and came to the main entrance.
"I can't go any further," the white wolf said back to Tali, "let's get the ice out of here, and then have Antonio and Locke come in and help push the statue, otherwise they might see what I look like now." ”
Tali immediately made her way to the statue and walked out as she sprinkled water, and the white wolf hid in the darkness at the entrance of the passage, clawing the water that had been sprinkled on the ground into ice, making the ice path look like Tali's magic paved.
When the ice tunnel is completely paved and the white wolf returns to Rogge's appearance, Tali brings Antonio, Locke, and Lilith to him, and Antonio is surprised to learn that he has used the ice tunnel to push the statue here, and he leans over to try to push the statue, only to find that the statue on the ice is still very heavy.
"Your strength is amazing, even on the ice, this statue is still as heavy as a mountain!" Antonio glanced at Rogge with a little surprise, Rogge shrugged his shoulders and said, "Captain, now is not the time to be amazed at me, we have to hurry, if I guess correctly, dusk has arrived." ”
The three men were on the left and right sides and behind them, pushing the statue hard, and the little flower spirit continued to drag the rattan in front, and Tali asked the lamp god to step forward to help push it, and she walked in front with the little furball to cheer them on.
When Catherine's golden statue came to the gate where the ruins of the castle stood, the sunset was already shining on the ruins of Raphael's castle outside the door, adding a touch of sadness and loneliness to the ruins at the bottom of the pit.
"There's one last point! Come on!" the three of them, who felt exhausted, gritted their teeth and put on the last bit of strength, dragged the statue out of the gate, and saw the afterglow of the setting sun reflected on the surface of the golden statue, reflecting the glittering light, and all three of them collapsed to the ground panting.
"I hate gold, and whoever gives me gold again in the future will have it thrown in his face!" said Locke, who was lying on his back on the ground, breathlessly.
"I really want to take off my armor and throw it out of the clouds!" Antonio took off his helmet and threw it away, looked down at the armor on his body in annoyance, and turned back to Tali and said, "Dear Miss Mermaid, please come and help me, I hate this heavy metal armor to death!"
Tali hurriedly stepped forward to help him take off his armor, and Rogge, who was lying on the side, let out a long breath, and suddenly heard the little furball's puzzled voice coming: "Bad wolf, look, why is the stupid girl basking in the sun for a long time, and she hasn't changed back?"
Hearing this, Rog got up from the ground, and crawled to Catherine's statue, seeing that she had no sign of recovering except for the dazzling golden light emitted by the golden reflection of the setting sun, he looked up at the golden sunset, and the night had begun to spread in the sky.
"What's going on, there must be something wrong!" Rogge looked down at Catherine's golden statue, recalling in his mind the taboos that Duke Raphael had told him, eliminating possible mistakes one by one, and the sky was getting darker and darker, but he never found the source of the problem.
Everyone looked at Rog anxiously, and Rogge stared down at Catherine's stiff face, recalling everything that had happened since he entered the ruins of the castle, scene after scene passing through his mind.
Suddenly, he suddenly raised his head and shouted to Lilith, "Come back, hurry!" The little furball was startled, and hurriedly turned into a little Lori, only to hear Rogge shout: "How many gold coins did you snatch from me?"
"In the bag!" Lilith opened the small money bag in a panic, but could not find the few coins mixed in with the gold coins, and just when she was at a loss, Rog had already snatched her money bag, jumped from the ground and ran in the direction of the gate, and threw the money bag into the gate.
Seeing the money bag fall on the floor inside the gate, Rog turned his head and cast an anxious gaze on Catherine's face, seeing the last rays of the setting sun dissipate from her face.
