Chapter One Hundred and Five: The Sharp Knife Behind the Back
When the shaking of the earth gradually stopped, the hanging hearts of Rogge and the others relaxed a little, he looked at the crumbling ruins of the tomb, turned back to the high priest Goethe, and said, "You must get out quickly, this place may collapse again at any time." ”
"And what about you, are you still going to find that girl?" asked Goethe, looking at Rogge suspiciously.
"Yes, I have to find her. He pondered for a moment, then turned and walked away a few steps, took Lilith from her head, held her hands in her palms, and said, "Listen to me, little one, I want you to leave here with them." ”
"I don't want to!" the little owl flapped its wings and tried to fly, but Rogge grabbed her by the claws, and he held her down and said bitterly, "Listen, I have to go to Catherine, I brought her here, I can't leave her here alone." ”
He was silent for a moment, then continued: "But I don't want you to be in danger because of this, this place could collapse at any moment, I hope you can wait for me outside in peace, and if I find Catherine, I'll take her out to find you, okay?"
"No, I'm going to go with you to the stupid girl!" cried the little owl insistently.
"Obedient, little villain, I can't protect both of you at the same time if something happens in this environment, I don't want to make a choice between the two of you, do you understand?" said Rogge, holding her wings with both hands, staring into her big eyes.
"But I want to help you ......," after a moment of staring at Rogge, Lilith turned into a little Lori and gently put her arm around his neck.
"I understand, but you don't have to worry about me, you know, nothing can crush me, can it?" Rogge smiled softly and kissed her delicate little cheek, holding her face with his hand and said, "Obedient, let me go to Catherine in peace, okay?"
"But I hate those bad priests. Lilith pouted and glanced at Goethe, who was not far away.
"Then don't go near them," said Rogge, who put his mouth to Lilith's ear and told her the way out, "remember the way, you fly ahead, ignore them, and let them follow behind." ”
"When you get to the exit, you go straight out, and fly to Thundercastle, and wait for me at the highest tower in the outer city, there's a bakery nearby, and you can steal something to eat there, it's not hard for you, is it?" said Rogge, squeezing her little face with a smile.
Then his expression became serious, and he solemnly admonished: "You must remember my words, don't go near them, don't look back, don't stop anywhere other than the tower, if I don't go to you in three days, you fly in the direction of Hurricane City, go to Antonio, remember?"
"Hmm. Lilith nodded vigorously, and Rogge hugged her gently, then got up and took her little hand and came to the high priest and said, "High priest, I have told this child the way out, and she will take you out of here for me." ”
"Is she up to the task?" asked Goethe, giving Lilith a skeptical look.
"I believe in her, and if you don't believe it, you can figure it out for yourself. Rogge replied firmly.
Goethe looked at him for a moment, nodded helplessly and said, "Well, we can only believe in you." ”
"Go, little one, and remember my words, especially the last ones. Rogge crouched down in front of Lilith and admonished meaningfully. Little Lori nodded, kissed his stubble face, and turned into a little owl and flew out.
"Follow her, and she'll take you out of here, and hopefully we'll see you again!" Rogge said back to the High Priest. Goethe nodded, beckoning the priesthood to follow Lilith in the direction she had flown away.
Lilith followed Luffy's instructions from Rog and led the priesthood out with the priesthood, and the journey was relatively smooth, and several collapsed and clogged locations were opened up by the priesthood with magic, and finally they returned to the hall where they encountered the Titan wizard on the first floor.
Since there was no fork in the road from here to the exit, Lilith followed Rogge's instructions and flew in the direction of the gate without looking back, leaving the priesthood far behind, she flew out of the mausoleum in one breath, glanced back in the direction of the gate, flapped her wings and flew towards Thundercastle.
She landed on the highest tower in the outer city according to Rogge's instructions, staring intently in the direction of the city gate, from sunrise to sunset, but did not wait for Rogge's figure, the little one's stomach was growling with hunger, but he was reluctant to leave here, for fear that Rogge would come back when he left.
In the blink of an eye, it was dawn again, and the little owl, who had been hungry for a day, could not hold it anymore, and quietly flew to a nearby bakery to steal a little bread crumbs, and then flew back to the tower to continue waiting, and she waited until it was dark, and Rogge still did not come.
Completely impatient, Lilith jumped down from the tower, spread her wings and flew in the direction of the mausoleum, where she landed on a large rock near the mausoleum, the sound of the tide echoed in her ears, and her eyes were fixed on the mausoleum's gate, eager to rush in and find Rog.
"Come out, come out, where the hell are you?" Lilith looked in the direction of the gate with tears in her eyes, looking in the direction of the gate like a homeless child, although the sea breeze made her shiver with cold, and despite the hunger, she had only one thought in her heart at this time: looking forward to his appearance.
Suddenly, a golden array of light appeared under her feet, the little one was stunned for a moment, and suddenly saw countless rays of light forming a cage around herself, she rushed to the railing formed by the beam and wanted to rush out, but was bounced back by the beam.
"I embarked on the dark road at a young age, and now it's too late to turn back!"
Hearing this, Lilith turned around and saw the figure of the High Priestess Goethe appear in front of the cage, she rushed at him angrily, but was bounced away by the beam of the cage, she gritted her teeth and shouted at Goethe: "Damn priest, bastard priest!"
"There is really no cure, in that case, let's wait until the wanted criminal is caught, and then execute you together!" Goethe said and beckoned, "Take her away, and the others will continue to watch, and if he appears, he will do it immediately!"
......
Inside the mausoleum, Rogge, who had separated from Lilith, returned to the gate where Catherine had disappeared, and found that the gate was in pieces, and the rubble had blocked the door, but left some gaps, which Rogge had broken with his claw blade and drilled through the gaps.
He walked down the corridor behind the gate, and along the way he saw several Mausoleum Keepers who had lost their power, and due to the slow air circulation in the mausoleum, the smell of Catherine in the corridor was still clearly audible, and Rog followed the flow of the scent to a burial chamber.
Just as he walked towards the door of the tomb, the ground under his feet suddenly collapsed, and Rog hurriedly grabbed the edge of the ground with his claw blade, and looked down at the stone slab that had fallen to the lower floor, and the heavy stone slab fell to the ground under his feet, shattering into a ground of stone slag.
"What the hell!" Rogge grabbed the edge with both hands and climbed up hard, and suddenly saw a black shadow rushing in front of him, the long sword in his hand stabbed at him, Rogge hurriedly grabbed the blade of the sword with his right hand, the blade was only a fraction of a millimeter away from his neck.
"Die!" the black-robed man stabbed his sword at him, and Rog held his sword tightly, his palm cut by the blade, and the blood stained his white gloves.
"Maybe this sentence should be given to you!" he suddenly shouted, his eyes flashed green, and the black-robed man's body trembled, and the strength in his hand suddenly lost under the horror.
Rogge let go of his grip on the sword, grabbed the brim of his cloak and dragged him down, the black-robed man screamed and fell, leaving only a black cloak in Rogge's hand.
He glanced back at the black-robed man who had fallen to his death below, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, endured the sharp pain in his right hand and climbed to the ground, panting and glancing at the blood-stained white glove, taking it off his hand and throwing it on the ground, and when he looked at his hand again, the wound had gradually healed.
"I really don't know if I should say lucky or unlucky!" Rogge sighed and stood up from the ground, draped the black cloak of the black-robed man over his body and continued to walk forward, and after a few steps, the ground suddenly shook violently.
Rog stood still for a moment, then continued briskly after the earthquake had ended, coming to a burial chamber at the end of the hallway, where he found a cavity in the ground.
Rog stepped forward and looked underneath the cave entrance, and saw that the ground was littered with collapsed earth and rocks, and the ground was quite high from the cave entrance, and there was no place to climb around.
Seeing this, Rogge turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a whistling behind him, he turned around and waved his hand, and a snowy long sword slashed at the surface of the claw blade, making a crisp sound.
Rogge punched the attacker, the black-robed man jumped back quickly, turned around and rushed into the burial chamber on the side, Rogge followed the burial chamber quickly, a sword light flashed through his eyes, Rogge quickly ducked, the blade swept past his forehead, cutting off one of his bangs.
"My hair is very expensive, they are sold in a package with my head, and they are worth two thousand gold coins!" Rogge jumped up from the ground, waved his hand and released five blades, and pounced on the black-robed man from five directions, and the black-robed man hurriedly swung the five blades, but was knocked to the ground head-on by Rogge.
He pushed the black-robed man to the ground, grabbed his neck with his hand, pointed five blades at his head, gritted his teeth, and said, "Come on, tell me where Catherine is, and then we'll talk about compensation!"
"You want to know where she is?" said the black-robed man with a sly smile on the corner of his bare mouth from under his hood, "I won't tell you so easily, at least until you pay off the debt you owe me!"
"What do I owe you?" asked Rogge with a sneer.
The black-robed man smiled and said, "Take off my hat, and you'll know the answer." ”
Rogge stared at his face and groaned for a moment, carefully stretched out his left hand and lifted the hood of his black cloak, when he saw the other party's face, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise and exclaimed, "How could it be you?"
(The High Priestess of Grace's revenge finally stretched out his claws, and Rogge finally found the black-robed man who took Catherine away, but the two seemed to know each other, who was the black-robed man? What will happen to the captured Lilith? The show is about to be staged, so stay tuned!)
