Three days after the Battle of the Organ Coast, Rogge and the others left the Isle of Elland with Antonio's Silver Dragon Winged Knights, and before that, they buried the fallen Silver Dragon Knights in the forest near the Academy of Magic along with the deputy head Douglas, erecting a monument to commemorate the heroic sacrifice of these knights.

The group returned to the Mage Tower through the dimensional passage of the God of Lights, and informed the Grand Master of the situation on Aland Island, and the Grand Master said that he would contact the Merfolk Elders to continue to track down the whereabouts of the Leviathan, and try to reseal it so that it would not pose a threat to the mainland.

High Priest Goethe and Executive Priest Bach, who had been left in the Mage Tower to recuperate, were seriously injured, but they had now regained consciousness and could barely move with their support, and Antonio ordered the Knights to escort the two priests to their journey back to the Imperial Capital of Bahrain, the seat of the Holy Order, to meet the Holy Emperor.

After leaving the Ice Island and returning to the territory of Deiz, a vassal principality of the Farrell Empire, Antonio said goodbye to Rogge and the others, and before leaving, he told Rogge that he would tell the Holy Emperor the truth about what had happened after returning to the Holy Meeting, and then rushed to the Sun and Moon Forest to fight with everyone.

"I hope the next time I see you, you won't bring His Majesty's arrest warrant with you!" Rogge said to Antonio with a smile, pulling out a cigar.

Antonio stared at the nonchalant teasing on his face, nodded tacitly and said, "I'll do my best to prevent that from happening, and I hope that when I meet you guys, I won't hear any bad news." ”

After saying that, Antonio said goodbye to everyone, glanced at Tali reluctantly, resolutely closed the mask of the silver helmet and gave the order to set off, and the knights stepped on the horses requisitioned from the inn and headed for the imperial capital of Bahrain.

"Seriously, I'm suddenly a little reluctant to be a leader!" Rogge said with a sigh as he looked at the Knights' distant back, lit a cigar, and sighed with affection.

"Good thing he didn't know I ate his griffon!" the little owl snickered as he leaned on Rog's hat.

"Ah, I forgot to tell him!" exclaimed Rogge, pretending to exclaim, "I must catch up with him now, don't doubt my speed, the stupid horse he requisitioned from the inn can't outrun me, unless you compliment me a few words, I'll go after him now!"

"Big stupid wolf, so stupid, so stupid!" the little furball glanced at him mockingly, turned around and combed the feathers with the eagle's beak and said.

"For the sake of your praise of me, I'll tell him next time!" Rogge smirked as he put his cigar in his mouth and turned back to Catherine, Tully, and Murphy, "Let's go, guys, it's time to go home!"

They traveled southeast along the main road, changing into simple summer clothes in the towns they passed to adapt to the hot summer after returning to the mainland, and after a few days of traveling, they arrived at the last town on the border of the Duchy of Deiz at noon, and they would enter the Sun and Moon Forest across the southern part of the continent.

Rogge took out a red veil from his body to cover his mouth and nose, and led the four people to the gate of the town in a big stride, two soldiers stepped forward to stop them, looked up and down the four people in strange costumes, and asked vigilantly, "Who are you?"

Rogge glanced at the wanted notice posted by the city gate with his portrait, and stopped Tali from talking with his eyes, while Murphy stepped forward and took out a badge of the Adventurers' Guild and said to the soldiers, "We are members of the Adventurers' Guild." ”

The soldier took the badge from Murphy's hand and examined it carefully, nodded to make way for them to enter, Rog and Murphy exchanged glances, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth hidden under the veil, and walked into the town in a big way.

"It's good to be organized, and the Adventurers' Guild is a big backer!"

Walking on the wide stone road of the town, Rogge said to the three of them: "As the number one ranger guild with members in all towns and cities in the empire, the Adventurers' Guild has the best reputation among the ranger guilds, and their badge is almost equivalent to the king's pass!"

"Do you want me to help you apply for one from the president?" asked Murphy with a smile on his face as he looked at Rogge.

"Oh, that's something you can't ask for, but my bad reputation is too big, why don't you use a pseudonym, and combine my name with Lilith's?"

"I don't want to share a pseudonym with you!

"And you're smarter!" said Rogge, grimacing back at Catherine and Tully.

The two girls looked at each other and smiled, and Rogge pointed to a tavern not far away and said, "Let's go there and rest, it's noon, it's time to feed the birds!"

Before the words fell, a large group of people suddenly poured out of the intersection in front of them, rushing into the avenue in front of them, Rogge and the others looked at the crowd swarming away in surprise, and before they could figure out what was going on, the crowd behind them had already surged like a tide, almost washing them away.

"What the hell?" Rogge and Murphy escorted the two girls to the side of the road, looking at the surging crowd, not understanding what they were going to do, Murphy stepped forward and grabbed a young man and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Don't you know?" the young man's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked the dusty Murphy up and down and said, "Oh, you are strangers, you can catch up with the show, the town caught a witch the day before yesterday, and she will become a terrible monster, and she will be executed in the town center square at noon today, go and see!"

"Execute the witch again!" Murphy looked at the figure of the young man hurrying away, turned back to Rogge and frowned, Rogge pondered for a moment and said, "Don't be in a hurry to eat, let's go and see what the hell those damn priests are doing first!"

He asked Lilith to turn the three of them into worms on their backs and fly to the bell tower in the town center square, where the four of them stood on the spire and saw that an execution table had been erected in the center of the square below the bell tower.

A woman in a dirty white prison uniform, with her dark red hair scattered on her knees, her hands and feet in iron shackles, her head chained to a huge guillotine, two strong executioners stood by the guillotine, staring at their death row prisoners with serious faces.

On one side of the execution table, a chief priest in a silver robe was followed by two priests with serious expressions, the chief priest touched his long beard with his hand, and at the same time complained to the people in the audience about the sins of witches.

"It's rare, isn't it?" said Rogge to Murphy beside him, "They actually use the guillotine against witches, why don't they burn them at the stake?"

"Maybe they find it exciting, but look at the good guys down there, they love blood!" Murphy said, glancing contemptuously at the crowd in the audience.

"Shall we help her?" Catherine glanced at the prisoner with pity, and asked Rog back.

"No, don't mess around, it all seems unusual, there's a terrible smell in the air, do you see the prisoner? she's so calm, would a witch who has been wronged be so calm?"

Before the words were spoken, a melodious bell suddenly sounded from the bell tower under the feet of the four people, and with the ringing of the midday bell, the chief priest turned back and shouted, and the two executioners swung their swords and cut the rope of the guillotine, and the huge swords fell in the air and slashed at the woman's neck.

"I told you, it's not unusual. Rog glanced meaningfully at the surprised expressions on the faces of the three men, and his gaze fell on the woman, whose head was not cut off by the sword, but instead the heavy knife was shattered by her neck.

The execution ground was silent, the people's eyes widened in horror, and they felt incredulous at what they saw, while the female prisoner kept her head down silently, her fiery red eyes revealing a chilling despair.

"Go ahead, you must kill this witch today!" the chief priest shouted angrily, and the two executioners took two giant axes, dragged the woman out of the guillotine, and slashed at her head, only to hear two "bangs", and the blades of the two double-edged axes were all shattered into iron slag.

"What kind of power is this, even a real witch can't do it!" Rogge looked at the woman with a look of amazement, and the eyes of the little furball lying on his head widened, and he said in admiration, "I really want to be so hard!"

"Damned witch!" exclaimed the chief priest, "it seems that the Holy Fire must be used, and the flame must be used to cleanse this wicked devil!"

A large pile of firewood was immediately piled up around the woman, and the woman knelt quietly in the pyre, her expression melancholy and haggard, as if she was oblivious to the danger she was in, and a torch was thrown into the pyre, and the flames rose into the air, engulfing the woman in an instant.

"Do you want to bet?" said Rogge, with his eyes fixed on the flames, to the three beside him, "I'll bet that she will come out of the fire alive with a lunch and a dinner." ”

Catherine, Tully, and Murphy looked at him in amazement, feeling a little overwhelmed, and Rog's eyes flashed with a certain determined anticipation, and his eyes were fixed on the flame, and the woman's figure never appeared, as if it had been burned to ashes.

"The Holy Fire will devour everything, all the devils will be purified by the flames, people of the Empire, cheer for the flames of the Holy Fire!" the chief priest shouted to the crowd with his arms outstretched, and the people in the audience cheered in unison, and all the people cheered.

"I think you're probably losing your bet. Murphy said with a regretful sigh.

Rogge shook his head silently, closed his eyes with a solemn expression, and suddenly heard an earth-shattering roar, he opened his eyes suddenly, and saw a huge dragon burning with raging flames roaring out of the flames, opening its mouth and spewing out a blazing flame, instantly burning the chief priest and the guards around him to ashes.

"Oh my God," said Rog, frowning in surprise as he stared at the dragon that fluttered its wings from the flames, "and this was not what I expected......
