Chapter 568: Stealing Your Own Things
"I stole my own diamonds?" Hearing Rogge's accusation, Ossis sneered angrily and funny, "Is there something wrong with my ears, or is it because you have water in your brain?"
"Because you don't want to set Hogg and his slave friends free, but you can't go back on your word, you have a plan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Rog said, standing up and walking around behind Ossis, pressing his hands on the back of the diamond-encrusted sofa chair and looking down at Ossis.
"You promised Hogg to let him come to see you on the day of the crime, and deliberately asked Camon not to send someone to escort him, hoping that he would escape halfway, so as to punish the others, but Hogg did not run away, but chose to come to see you, and after hearing his voice, you quietly opened the box leading to this basement, and closed the lid and hid here while allowing him to enter the house. ”
"Hogg came in and found no one in the house, I guess you were hiding on the stairs under the lid of the chest, peeking through the cracks in the box, and if he dared to open the treasure chest you put in the house and steal the diamonds from inside, you would suddenly appear and catch him, but unfortunately he didn't. ”
"After Hogg fled out of anxiety, you were very unwilling to come out of the chest, and simply framed him for stealing the diamonds on the table, and when I went with you to search his residence, you asked Enus to put the animal skin money bag under his futon in advance, so that the money bag would leave the smell of tobacco in Enus's hands. ”
Speaking of this, Rogge reclined on the back of the sofa, looked sideways at the cold side face of Ossis and said, "But you have overlooked a problem, Hogg is in shabby clothes, there is no place to hide a money bag on his body, not to mention that there is a heavy bag of broken diamonds inside, it is impossible to pass through the mercenary camp full of people in the street without being discovered. ”
"That's nonsense!" Ossis turned around and glanced at him with a sneer, and said, "The entire Khufu Desert is Lao Tzu's territory, Lao Tzu is the king here, in order to prevent a few slaves from leaving Lao Tzu, I just need to whip them!"
"Really?" Roger smiled, took a casual puff of his pipe, turned his back to Ossis and sat down on the back of his chair, saying, "In fact, you can't do that, because your mercenaries are only a thousand or a thousand, and the number of slaves is ten times the number of your army, and if they do resist, you will not be able to end up." ”
Rogge looked up at the bright crystal chandelier on the ceiling and smiled: "The reason why they all obediently have no intention of rebelling is because you promised them freedom and gave them a hope, and when they thought that they had a chance to regain their freedom safely, they were not willing to take risks." ”
At this point, Rog suddenly turned his threatening gaze to Ossian and sneered: "But if those slaves know that they will never truly be free, the desire for freedom in their hearts will drive them to turn against them, and then, who can guarantee that they will not unite and find a loophole to overthrow your dynasty?"
Ossis lowered his head and was silent, Rogge also looked up at the flower board silently, after a while, Ossis suddenly laughed, Rog looked at him curiously, only to hear him laugh: "Your story is interesting, human, but that's all your unwarranted speculation, if you want to exonerate Hogg, you have to show evidence that he didn't steal the diamond!"
"You want proof? I've already given it to you. Rog smiled calmly, and the smile on Ossis's face gradually froze, and he looked at his mysterious smile with a puzzled gaze, and followed his gaze to the gray-white animal skin purse on the table in front of him.
"Remember, when Hogg was dragged away by your men, I asked him to help me pick up the money bag?" Rogge smiled and took a puff of his cigarette, pointed to the money bag on the table, and said, "Did you see it?" The wound on Hogg's hand stained the mouth of the money bag with pus and blood, while the rest of the money bag did not have any blood. ”
"You once told me that there was blood on the floor at the time of the crime, and I also examined his hands and feet, and there were indeed layers of wounds on them, if this bag was really stolen from your room, how could it be that only the part of the bag I let him touch left blood stains, and the rest of the bag did not have any traces?"
Ossis stared at the clear blood stains on the money bag, dumbfounded and speechless, Rog put his face close to him and whispered in his ear, "Well, if you have nothing to defend yourself, then let's talk about our deal." ”
From Rogge's words, Riosis heard a hint of overtones, he raised his eyes and looked at Rogge nervously and vigilantly, Rogge smiled slightly and said: "According to what we said before, you tell me the specific location of the Luxor Temple, and I will help you keep it a secret." ”
Ossis looked at Rog with distrust, and bowed his head hesitantly, Rog smiled and got up and walked around behind him, sat down opposite him and said, "Don't worry, if I want to tell this matter, I won't be here, I will go directly to your slaves, maybe they have rebelled now." ”
Ossis pondered for a moment and finally raised his head and said to Rogge, "Okay, I'll trust you once. ”
He got up and walked to the corner of the room, opened a stone door, took out a map from a stone cabinet embedded in the wall, and put it in front of Rogge, Rogge picked up the map and looked down carefully, and the little Lolit Lilith also threw the clean camel leg bones on the table, and stretched out her head curiously.
"This is the map of the Khufu Desert, which shows the location of the Luxor Temple. Ossis sat down across from him and leaned against the back of the couch and said, "I don't know what you're going to do there, but don't blame me for not reminding you, it's a point of no return." ”
"That's just right," said Rogwan, smiling and looking up at Ossis, "If I die inside, your secret can be kept forever without worrying about being revealed." ”
Ossis stood up with a dry laugh and said in a threatening voice: "Okay, take your little girl out of here, human, remember our agreement, if you dare to break your promise, I will find you even to the ends of the earth!"
"It's not difficult to find me, just go to the Farrell Empire and ask about the 'lone wolf', almost everyone knows me. Rogge smiled slightly and took the little Lori to turn around and walk towards the stairs, Ossis stood in place and stared at his back for a moment of contemplation, muttering in surprise: "He's a lone wolf?"
Rogge, who left the stone house of Ossis, left the mercenary camp in a circle, and met Catherine and Hogg who she rescued on a nearby sand dune, Monica had already healed Hogg's wounds, and Rogge comforted Hogg and then told Catherine what had happened.
"And what do we do now?" Catherine reluctantly glanced in the direction of the mercenary camp and said, "Just let those damned mercenaries enslave these poor slaves and let them suffer in deception and whipping?"
"What's the solution, we made a deal with Ossis, and it's a villain's job to be untrustworthy, isn't it?" Rog raised an eyebrow at her as he smoked his pipe, and Catherine looked at him with some surprise at his relaxed appearance, surprised that he didn't do justice to these slaves.
At this moment, the little furball suddenly landed on Rogge's shoulder from the sky, and shouted Daodao: "Bad wolf, I've done everything you said!"
"Well done, little villain, we've got a good show. Rogge smiled slyly and looked in the direction of the mercenary camp, and saw in the distance that the darkness under the night was full of fires, and the torches poured into the mercenary camp like a long dragon, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing resounded in the sky.
Catherine looked at this scene in surprise, and suddenly looked back at Rogge, who looked back at her innocently and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
"Didn't you say that it was the work of the scoundrels to be untrustworthy?" said Catherine, pouting reproachfully.
"But I'm a bad person!" said Rogge, winking at her.
Catherine couldn't help but smile knowingly, and before she could speak, Rogge pointed his finger at her and Monica and said, "Don't laugh at me, you are the same, you are all little villains, Monica drugged the mercenaries, Catherine kidnapped Hogg, the little bad birds released the slaves and helped them steal weapons, all of them are villains!"
"You're the worst of the big baddies!!" Catherine, Lilith and Monica shouted in unison, the clear voices of the three girls echoed in Rogge's ears, he covered his ears with his hands and turned to run down the hill, Catherine, Lilith and Monica laughed and shouted and chased after him.
Listening to the laughter of the girls like silver bells, and watching the figures of several people running away, Hogg, who was standing on the sand dune, smiled and beckoned to them, and said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you, may the gods bless you." ”
......
After reuniting with Antonio and Goethe's two regiments, Rogge handed the map to Antonio, and after determining the route of the march, the Knights and Priests set out again, following the route marked on the map to a valley in the southern part of the Khufu Desert, with the territory of the Farrell Empire on the south side of the valley, and the Temple of Luxor was located in the valley.
Rogge, Antonio, and Goethe rode alongside each other, followed by Catherine and Tali, followed by the Knights and Priests, through the silent valley and the entrance to the temple according to the map.
Rogler sat down, Antonio and Goethe ordered the rear team to stop advancing, and then looked at the entrance of the temple in front of them, only to see two huge golden cobra statues intertwined with each other into a huge arch, and on the left and right sides of the gate stood two giant cobra statues, with their large open mouths showing sharp fangs, and their eyes were full of murderous intent.
Rogge and the others got off their horses, Antonio and Goethe ordered the two regiments to dismount and tie the horses nearby, while Rogge strode to the Cobra gate, and saw a small clearing inside the door, and at the end of the open space was a rectangular empty gate that merged with the mountain, and on either side of the door stood two statues of kobolds holding scepters.
It was pitch black inside the gate, Rog looked inside for a while, turned around and was about to greet Antonio, when he heard a faint murmur from the cave behind him, Rog and the little furball on his shoulder turned their heads to stare at the dark cave at the same time, only to hear a terrible scream from the depths of the cave.
