Chapter 552: Assassinated by himself
"You know?" Tully's blue crystal eyes flashed with curiosity, and Rogge nodded slightly in affirmation, "I heard many years ago that there is a lake in the wilderness, and legend has it that there is an extremely precious treasure buried at the bottom of the lake, so adventurers often go deep into the wasteland to find its whereabouts.

"You mean, those transparent people are adventurers who came here?" Tali was surprised to recall the transparent people's clothing, and had some guesses about Rogge's words, and sure enough, Rogge agreed: "That's right, because no one knows about the treasure at the bottom of the lake so far, and none of those who went deep into the wasteland to search for treasure have returned." ā
"Oh my God, what happened to them?" said Tali, looking at the rippling lake.
"I don't know, but I think those transparent people are their ghosts," Rog followed her gaze as he looked at the lake, the mirror-level surface of the lake reflecting the bright sunlight in his eyes, "They are probably imprisoned here by some kind of force, attacking outsiders who approach this place, and causing them to end up in the same fate as themselves." ā
"Do you think this has something to do with the Shadow Fortress?" Tali's face was as solemn as if she was facing a great enemy, knowing that if these ghosts were acting as watchdogs for the Dark Wizard, it meant that the Shadow Fortress had been operating here for years, and there might be an even more dangerous environment within the Divine Domain.
"It's hard to say right now, but we're going to have to go in and have a look anyway. Rogge led her back to Catherine, and asked Tali to help her change into a clean white outfit and drain the water from her soaked firecracker to refill it with new ammunition.
After everything was ready, Tali wrapped the three of them in a huge bubble and then led them into the water, the transparent membrane of the bubble sucked the oxygen from the lake water, expelling the carbon dioxide that the three of them breathed normally and freely.
The three bubbles are connected to each other, Catherine is closest to Tali, the bubbles are stuck to Tali's fishtail, and Rog and the little furball are behind the final bubble nave, and the four of them line up to dive to the bottom of the lake.
As the team entered the deep water, where sunlight could not reach, Catherine suddenly shouted to Tali who was swimming in front of her, and the bubbles converted the sound waves into water waves into Tully's fin-shaped blue ears, and the mermaid turned to see Catherine pointing nervously to her side.
She looked in the direction Catherine was pointing, only to see several transparent men appear not far to Tali's right, and at the same time spread several clear longbows and aimed them in the direction of the four men.
Seeing this, Tali swooped down and went straight to the bottom of the lake with three bubbles, several transparent arrows slashing past the bubbles, one of which grazed against Rog's bubble, the edge of the arrow scraping a small notch in the bubble.
Fortunately, it was not an ordinary bubble that enveloped everyone, and it was not broken by this slight damage, but the lake water still seeped through the bubble opening, and the little furball shouted in panic when he saw this: "Bad wolf, bad wolf, it's in the water, we're going to be drowned!"
"Shut your little beak unless you want to be a fishhawk. Rogge's eyes flashed green, and his body swelled into a white werewolf, the bubble expanded as he grew taller, but the hole in the bubble also widened, and the water accelerated into the bubble, quickly submerging Rogge's ankles.
"Big stupid wolf, you're going to drown us!" cried the little furball with fluttering wings.
"Why don't I stuff you into the hole and block the broken place!" the white wolf said as he pressed the hole with the palm of his left hand, and grabbed the small furball on the top of his head with the other hand, and the little furball jumped to avoid his paws and shouted: "I'm not so fat, I can't block it at all!"
The white wolf slanted his emerald green eyes, let go of his hand holding the entrance of the cave and said, "I'm not worried that you can't block it, I'm more worried that you are too fat to hold up the entrance of the cave!"
Unconvinced, the little furball pouted the eagle's beak and glanced in the direction of the hole, and found that a piece of ice had frozen the broken hole, she turned her little head behind her, and saw that the transparent people continued to chase behind, and kept shooting transparent arrows in their hands, but none of them hit under Tully's roundabout and graceful swimming.
"Bad wolf, why don't we turn all the bubbles into ice?" the little furball thought he was very clever and jumped up to the white wolf's long mouth, and asked in front of his green eyes, "Then we won't have to be afraid of the attacks of those transparent ghosts!"
"Because then we'll suffocate. The white wolf poked her round and fluffy little butt with his paws and said, "Ice can't exchange air, we can only freeze small breaks with ice, but we can't turn the whole bubble into ice." Also, take your little ass off my nose, you're going to make me sneeze. ā
The little furball was stabbed by his sharp claws, jumped up from his mouth, stepped over his face with two small paws, and trotted back to his head.
Suddenly, the bubbles shook violently, and the white wolf and the little furball looked ahead together, only to see Tali, who continued to swim, stop and stabilize her body, and a huge crystal palace appeared at the bottom of the lake in front of her.
The palace is shaped like an inverted pyramid, with a pointed base supporting a huge top, and there is some concern about whether it will tilt or collapse, and the palace is made up of glittering crystals, and the crystal walls look like mirrors, reflecting the surrounding scene on the walls.
At this time, between Tali and the Water Mirror Divine Domain, more than a dozen transparent people blocked her way, one by one holding transparent blades and staring at her and Catherine, Susan, and the white wolf in the bubble behind her, while the transparent archers chasing behind her also quickly approached.
Seeing that Tali stopped advancing, the transparent man who blocked the way raised the transparent weapon in his hand and rushed towards Tali, the mermaid chanted the spell loudly, the mermaid's eyes at the head of the mermaid staff emitted a bright blue light, a portal flashed where the staff pointed, and several tentacles full of suction cups stretched out from the choppy door.
A giant octopus burrowed half of its body out of the portal, only to see a cloud of black mist erupt from the octopus's body, instantly staining the surrounding waters in pitch black, and Tali and the three members of the bubble were all submerged in the octopus's ink.
The transparent people who had lost their target looked around blankly, searching for the whereabouts of the four with vigilant eyes, when suddenly a blue hand reached out from the ink, grabbed the neck of a transparent person with one hand, and snatched the transparent blade in his hand with the other, and pierced him in the chest with the other.
The transparent man who was pierced through the chest dissipated instantly, and the hand that snatched the transparent blade threw the blade in his hand to the transparent man not far away, and the transparent man raised the transparent long knife in his hand to block it, and the blue figure of the lamp god whistled out of the ink, and the huge fist punched the transparent man apart.
The surrounding transparent people launched attacks on the god of light, and the god of light was like smoke floating in the air, completely unaffected by the resistance of the water flow, waving huge fists and opening bows left and right, fighting alone against the siege of many transparent people.
Tali took the opportunity to approach the palace of the Water Mirror God Domain with three bubbles, and several transparent people noticed her figure and turned around to chase after her, but they were blocked by the dimensional enchantment released by the lamp god, and the angry transparent people turned around and pounced on the lamp god together.
Tali stopped in front of a circular altar in front of the palace with three bubbles, and saw some words written on a stone platform with a surface tilted towards her, and Tali read these words softly, and the magic charms around the altar suddenly glowed, and the rubble that had collapsed on the altar flew automatically, forming an oval teleportation stone door.
When the red light flashed in the center of the stone door, Tali turned around and gave the three of them a look, and after making sure the three of them were ready, she plunged into the portal with three bubbles, and the portal flowing with red energy instantly closed and scattered again into a cloud of rubble.
With a flash of red light, the four of them felt the solid ground under their feet, and they looked around intently, and found themselves in a wide corridor, with hard walls made of crystal up and down, left, right, and behind, and the crystal wall dazzling their eyes with brilliant light.
Tali put away the fishtail and got up from the ground with Rog's support, and followed Rog along the corridor with Catherine and Susan, and after a few steps, Rog, who was walking in front, suddenly heard the screams of the girls behind him, and he looked back sharply to find a transparent wall separating Catherine, Tully, and Susan from him.
The four transparent walls separating the four pushed the three girls except Rog backwards, leaving three square meters of open space for each of them, and then the walls gradually hardened and became opaque, and Rogge slashed the crystal wall with his winged blades, but left no trace on the walls.
When the wall was completely opaque, Rog could only see the hazy figure of Tali next door through the wall, but he couldn't see her expression, he couldn't hear any sound, he felt that Tali was facing him, as if he was saying something, and at this moment a passage suddenly opened in the corridor wall to his right.
Rog and Furball stared vigilantly at the open passageway, seeing that it was only a three-meter-wide corridor inside, Rog pondered for a moment, facing the wall and pointing in the direction of the passage, hoping that Tali would understand what he meant.
After a few moments, he saw Tali turn and walk in the direction of the passage, and Rogge had no idea what was going on with Catherine and Susan behind her, so he could only turn and enter the passage with the little furball, slowly walking along the passage illuminated by the light emitted by the crystal.
After walking about four or five meters, Rogge suddenly felt that his body could not move, and before he could figure out what was going on, a little owl with black feathers and red claws suddenly emerged from the crystal wall as bright as a mirror, and its two eyes were staring directly at him.
"Bad wolf, there's a bird that looks exactly like me!" cried out the little furball lying on Rogge's black wide-brimmed hat.
Before he could finish speaking, a figure wearing a black wide-brimmed hat and a black cloak emerged from the crystal wall, and the black gauntlet in his left hand flashed a feathered blade of red light, slashing straight at Rog's chest.
