readx;? Britney's inquiry made Rog and Catherine look at each other, Rog frowned at Catherine, shook his head slightly to signal her to remain calm, he lowered his head and smiled at Britney Spears with a pleasant face: "How can there be such a thing, you must be dreaming, we have always been by your side, no one said so." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"But I heard ...... clearly," Britney bit her lip worriedly, recalling the situation when she heard this sentence just now, and said worriedly, "Maybe I'm worried about Bruce too much, I've been restless for the last few months, and I've dreamed of him many times, and it always feels like something has happened to him." ”

Rog and Catherine looked at each other silently, Catherine turned her face away uncomfortably, so as not to show a sad expression on her face, Rog sighed secretly in his heart, and gently combed Britney's messy sideburns with his hand and said, "Don't worry too much, Murphy will be fine, but you've been causing trouble." ”

When Britney heard his words, she suddenly remembered what had just happened, looked around uneasily, and asked, "Are those trees gone?" ”

"Take it easy, Catherine has already killed them all, and burned them to ashes. Rogge smiled and looked up at Catherine standing beside her, and Britney struggled to reach out to Catherine and gently took her hand.

Catherine, who was still immersed in the sadness of Murphy, subconsciously turned around, and Britney suddenly saw the sad expression on her face, and couldn't help but be startled, and asked uneasily: "Catherine, what's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing. Catherine took Britney's hand and squatted down beside her, shook her head with a forced smile, Britney gratefully took her hand and said, "Thank you for saving me, I thought I was going to die." ”

"No thanks, that's what I'm supposed to do, even if it's for Murphy. Catherine replied with a sneering smile.

At this time, Rogge, who was half-kneeling opposite Catherine, slanted his eyebrows and smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Hey, young ladies, you seem to have forgotten something, it's not that I want to ask for credit, doesn't anyone remember that I actually saved Britney?"

"You?" Britney glanced at him and said, "I don't believe it! You bad guy, don't try to rob Catherine of the credit!"

"Little Bad Bird, Monica, aren't you going to be a witness for me?" Rog asked with a shrug of his shoulders to Furball and Flower, who sat on Catherine's shoulders with her feet crossed and grinned, "I don't know, I was with Lilith all the time." ”

"I don't know, I've been with Monica just now!" Little Furball answered without hesitation, Rogge looked at the two little ones with a smile, and turned to Catherine with a helpless smile and asked, "What about you, what are you going to say?"

"Everybody's what I mean, I'm a very easy-going person. Catherine smiled mischievously at him, and winked at each other with the little furball and flower on her shoulder.

"Well, it looks like there's a new member to the Good Girls Alliance," Rogge said, standing up and looking at the four girls, "In that case, I'd better go first, the bad guy." With that, he turned and walked in the direction he had come.

"Hey, you stop!" Britney yelled at him, and Rogge not only didn't stop but quickened his pace and walked into the distance, Catherine and Britney smiled at each other, helped each other to stand up, and took each other's hands and followed Rogge back together.

On the way, Britney asked Catherine about her relationship with Murphy, although Catherine was reluctant to talk more about Murphy, but Britney's persistent inquiry made her unable to avoid, and she could only tell Britney how she met Murphy and what happened next.

But in the narration, she still conceals Murphy's feelings for her and Murphy's disagreement with Rogge, and when it comes to the night Murphy died, she changes the truth to Murphy's separation from them.

In the narration, she forcibly suppresses her emotions so as not to be seen by Britney, and although Rogge's constant gags try to divert the topic and help her resolve some of the pain, she still suffers a great deal of pain inside, and every memory of her past time with Murphy makes her heart twist.

Although she never loved him, she clearly knew and appreciated his love, she knew that his death was due to her care and sincere love, so she always harbored a sense of regret for him.

The three of them slowly advanced in front of each other, and suddenly Rogge, who was walking in front, stopped, looked ahead vigilantly, he heard a chaotic footsteps, and couldn't help but sniff the smell lightly, and turned back to the girls and said, "Our army is coming." ”

Catherine and Britney looked ahead together, and saw that Antonio's shiny armor first pierced through the shadows of the jungle, with Tully and High Priest Goethe following closely behind him, and the Knights and Priests following the three of them.

As soon as he saw them, Antonio waved his hand to signal the rear team to stop, and Rog came to them with the girls, and both Antonio and Tali were relieved to see that they were all safe, and Rog then told them what had just happened.

"It seems that there are many monsters in this jungle that we didn't expect," Antonio said, glancing at the strangely shaped dead trees around him, "Even seemingly harmless trees must be careful, and they must be vigilant." ”

"You're right, the longer we stay in this place, the more dangerous we become. Rogge bowed slightly in agreement, and turned back to ask Tully, "Is there any new news from the Lantern God, and still can't find any clues about the Shadow Fortress?"

Hearing this, Tali summoned the Lamp God from the Lamp and asked him if there was any new progress, and the Lamp God waved his hand to unfold the flashing blue light dimensional map in front of them, and after taking a closer look, said, "I'm sorry, but there is still no clue related to the Shadow Fortress." ”

Everyone was a little disappointed when they heard this, and suddenly heard the lamp myth turn around and continue: "However, judging from the situation shown on the dimensional map, it seems that there is a village in the vicinity. ”

"Village" Rog and Antonio looked at each other in surprise, surprised that there was a village here, they thought that the dark hills were only overgrown with monsters, and there was no human living environment at all, but they did not expect that there would be a village here.

"Yes, there is indeed a village where there seem to be living people. The lantern god turned around and pointed to the northeast direction and said, "It's in that direction, not far from us, should we go over and have a look?"

Rog and Antonio decided that they could go and investigate the situation in the village, and if it was the territory of the dark wizards, they would grab a few tongues and ask for the whereabouts of the Shadow Keep and the situation inside the fortress, and if there were innocent people living there, they could also ask the villagers for the way to the Shadow Keep.

The group set out at once, and under the guidance of the god of lights, marched in the direction of the village, and they passed through a dark jungle, over the hills and into a valley, and along a winding and rugged valley, and at a T-junction they saw in the distance an arch looming at the end of the fork in the left side.

Rogge and the others slowly turned into the fork in the road, and crossed the path sandwiched between the black towering trees to the arch, there was no decoration on the door, even the door panel was gone, the gray stone arch was old, and the black metal fences on both sides of the door extended to the high ground on both sides, making the arch the only way to enter.

The words "Welcome to the village of Karsted" are written crookedly on the dilapidated street sign next to the archway, and the village is dead silent, and despite the darkness of the jungle, there is still no sunlight in the village, and the sky is gray, casting a haze over the houses in the village.

The group cautiously walked into the village, and saw that there were collapsed and dilapidated houses everywhere along the way, which seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, and after walking a distance of about a few tens of meters, a relatively intact wooden house suddenly appeared next to a collapsed dilapidated house on the right.

Rogge motioned for everyone not to move, and he stepped forward and knocked lightly on the broken door, the wooden door made a dull echo, but there was no response from inside.

Rogge knocked on the door again while shouting inside, "Hello, anyone?"

There was silence in the room, Rogge turned back and shrugged his shoulders to the people who were standing not far away looking at him with concern, turned around and was about to return to them, when suddenly he felt a cold wind blowing, and the wooden door behind him "creaked" open.

Rogge followed the sound and turned around, only to see a gap in the wooden door half-open, and there was no human figure in the black hole in the room, Rogge frowned and turned around to look into the room, and vaguely saw some old furniture in the dark room.

He carefully pushed the door with his hand, and the wooden door squeaked in the silence, slowly opening inward, and Rogge walked in while vigilantly observing the dark room.

The wooden house was divided into two rooms, the inner and the outside, and Rogge stood in the door and looked at the outer room, and saw a table in the room, and a circle of cabinets placed against the wall, he walked past the table and wardrobe, and saw that the table and the cabinet were spotless, and all the miscellaneous items were placed in an orderly manner, and they looked like they were inhabited.

He walked around the room, opened a few cabinets to check the contents, only to find that most of them were empty, and a few cabinets contained some cups and plates, which had been quite old judging by the scratches on the surface.

Rog walked around the table to the door of the inner room, knocked lightly on the door of the inner room with his hand, but there was still no response from inside, Rog tried to push open the door of the inner room, looked into the room, and saw a bed and several cabinets in the room.

He came to the side of the bed and glanced at the neatly packed bedding on the bed, and looked up and fell on a painting hanging on the wall of the bed, on which a family portrait was drawn, Rogge squinted his eyes and looked at everyone on the family portrait, seeing that they were elegantly dressed and looked extraordinary, and they did not seem to be ordinary people.

In the lower right corner of the family portrait is also written a softly signed signature: "Mina Holman." Rogge looked at the faces of each of the people on the canvas, guessing which person Mina Holman was in the drawing.

He walked around the house, and saw that there were no useful clues, so he left the cabin and walked to the two groups waiting not far away, and as he walked towards Antonio, he said loudly, "There is no one inside, and no trace of the dark wizard has been found, we might as well go inside and see, maybe there will be some other discoveries."

The team then set off again and continued deeper into the village, and at this time, in the wooden house just now, the open door "creaked" itself slowly closed, leaving only a hidden gap, after a short silence, a pair of blood-red eyes suddenly emerged from the darkness, sneakily peeking in the direction of the team's departure.
