"I'm starting to rejoice that I'm here!"

Hearing the captain's words, Rogge turned back and spread his hands and smiled at Catherine and Tully, "If the Grand Master hears that the captain wants us to be thieves, he might jump up from his chair and say, 'I'm sorry, you're arrested!'"

Catherine and Tully couldn't help but smile as he imitated Antonio's stern way of speaking, but Rogge suddenly looked at the captain with a straight face, and said seriously: "You're lucky, I wouldn't do that, now tell me, what does this thief do?"

"The only enchantment I've ever seen is the outer three, and I've found a way to open the outermost one," the captain said, pointing to his feet, "It's at the bottom of the sea near the island, and the stone slab that opens the enchantment is there." ”

"Sounds simple. Rogge nodded happily.

"Yes, for those who are good at water, this is not a problem, but first you need to be able to breathe underwater for about five minutes, and someone needs to press their hands into the stone slab, and the energy of the ancient stone slab will be transmitted to the island, so that the outermost barrier of the island will be temporarily unsealed. ”

"For the time being?" Rogge keenly caught the word in the captain's mouth and asked, "What do you mean?"

"That is, when you take your hand out of the slate, the barrier will be restored. The captain said with a frown.

"That's great news, is there anything else you'd like to tell us?" Rogge asked with a slight nod.

"Once you have landed on the island, you will need to enter the lair path, and you will encounter the enchantment stones in turn, and if you can pry open the door behind these enchantment stones like a thief, you will be able to quietly touch the depths of the lair, and maybe find an opportunity to kill it and come back alive. ”

"The point seems to be, how do you pry it off?" asked Rogge, staring at the bearded captain.

"With your head, if you're smart enough, you'll be able to find your way. The captain drank the rum from the wooden cup in front of him and said meaningfully to Rogge.

"That's good advice, I'll take it to heart!" said Rogge, bringing the rum from his glass to his lips, and said to the captain, "In that case, we'd better set out now, and get on that damned island first, and then go to its owner." ”

Under the captain's orders, the pirate ship immediately set sail and headed for Death Island, and on the way, Rog, Tully, and Catherine came to the foredeck of the ship.

On the deck at this time, the sky was still full of stars, the east had not yet turned white, the sea was peaceful and quiet in the night, and a gust of night wind blew through, gently blowing the hair on the sideburns of the two girls, bringing a slight coolness.

The three of them stopped in front of the railing on the deck, watching the boat ride the wind and waves forward, Rog glanced back at Tali and said, "I'll be near the island in a moment, I want to ask you to ......"

Tali interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Needless to say, I know what you mean, of course this is what I should do, no one knows the sea under our feet better than me, and it is my duty to help you open the first door." ”

She looked at Rogge and Catherine, and said in a worried tone: "But the road ahead, you need to go by yourself, I would love to go with you, but it seems that there is only so much I can do for you." ”

"Don't worry about us, if you think I'm going to die here, then I can only laugh at it. Rogge smiled and shook his head at her.

Tali looked at him with a solemn expression and said, "Of course I want to believe in you, just as I believe in Antonio and Murphy, I've always trusted you, haven't I?"

She stretched out her slender hand to Rogge, clasped it gently with his white-gloved hand, looked back at Catherine, and said earnestly, "Don't let me down, I don't want to lose any of you, I'll wait for you to come back." ”

"And me!" the captain's hoarse voice came from afar, and the three of them looked back, only to see the captain with his hands behind his back, followed by the puppet girl Leah, and the father and daughter slowly came to the front.

"The young lady is right, of course you have to come back alive, and I can do you a little favor," said the captain, handing the Ghost Fire Gun on his belt to Rogge, "Take it, and shoot it into the air if you need to, and I'll help you, but remember that it must be in the open air, and be cautious, it's not unlimited." ”

"Thank you, Captain!" Rogge took the Ghost Fire Bolt and hung it on his belt, and heard the captain say, "We're coming!"

The three of them looked back together, and a gloomy island came into their eyes, the mountains and trees on the island brought a dark and eerie feeling, and the dense black clouds in the sky made it even more gloomy, like a terrifying fortress of hell.

"It's shorter than I thought, get ready, the game is about to begin!" Rog said with a meaningful nod to Tully and Catherine.

The ship soon stopped near the island, and the captain called a well-built undead sailor and said to Rogge and the others, "This is the only one of my existing sailors who has seen the stone tablet with his own eyes, and I will let him lead the way and guide you to open the outer barrier." ”

"Then I'll go," Tali said back to Rogge, who reached out and hugged her softly, beside her fin-like ears buried in her long ocean-blue hair, "Be careful, wait for us to get back." ”

Tali smiled and nodded, hugged Catherine again, gave her a final kiss to the little owl that had landed on her shoulder, and then walked with the sailor to the side of the boat.

She took one last look back at Rog and Catherine, jumped out of the boat, and Tali made a huge splash on the surface of the water, and the fishtail shook gently on the surface of the water, and soon disappeared.

The captain then summons an undead dinghy, and Rog and Catherine use the rope ladder to descend to the dinghy and wait for the moment when Tali breaks the seal.

After about ten minutes, the scenery on the island suddenly became clear, and the hazy feeling that had shrouded the island disappeared, and the captain clapped his hands and laughed when he saw this: "Hahahaha, they succeeded, I thought they were all landlubbers!

He bowed his head and leaned on the railing and shouted to Rogge and Catherine under the ship, "Good luck, Mr. Witcher!"

"Don't worry, Captain, take care of Miss Tully, and get ready to fulfill your promise!" said Rogge, looking up confidently at the ship.

He waved to the captain and Leah, who waved lightly to him, and the boat carrying Rog and Catherine spontaneously headed to the island.

Seeing that the black island was getting closer and closer, Rogge looked back at Catherine, who was sitting opposite, and asked softly, "Are you afraid?"

The girl bit her lip lightly, nodded silently, and turned her face uneasily to look at the cloudy island, when she heard a thunderclap over the island, and a thunderbolt hit the top of the hill in the center of the island, and Catherine couldn't help but shudder.

A hand gently grasped her little hand, Catherine looked up suddenly, saw Rogge's concerned face, he pulled her hand in front of him and held it in his palm, stared into her eyes and said, "Do you remember what we said on the day we first met, we decided to go on the road together?"

Catherine was stunned for a moment, shook her head blankly, and Rogge continued: "We said that you and I have a cooperative relationship, no matter what happens, the two of us will face it together, because we are partners. ”

Catherine stared at him blankly, feeling a force pass from his fingers to her palm, Rogge nodded slightly, his eyes contained infinite anticipation and trust, as if to say to her in silent words: "I will face any challenge side by side with you." ”

The girl's heart seemed to be injected with a torrent at this moment, her melancholy eyes widened, and the pupils diffused with excitement, and the trust and expectation in Rogge's eyes entered her eyes, turning into some unknown force and integrating into her blood.

The boat shook and stopped on the black sand of the island, Rogge put his face up, left a shallow kiss on her eyebrows with his stubble mouth, patted her gently on the shoulder and said, "We're here, let's go, whatever awaits us, even if it's death, we're going to blow his head!"

He let go of Catherine's hand, took a cigar from his waist, strode off the boat, and walked towards the island in the shallow water and sand, Catherine jumped up from the boat, pulled out two silver handcuffs from her waist that had already been loaded with projectiles, and jumped out of the boat in the same way as Rogge.

The two quickly crossed the black sand beach by the sea and entered the dark forest with shadows, the forest was full of ** plants, withered old trees twisted their bodies, and their hideous faces were torn out on the trunks, like scorched monsters, looking at the two with gloomy eyes.

"Lilith, go ahead and explore the way, and give us a warning by the way!"

As if sensing the strangeness and danger around him, the little owl, which had been silent, heard Rogge's command, obediently flew into the sky, flying between the old trees with branches like animal claws, searching for a way forward in the forest.

Rogge and Catherine stepped on the dead branches and leaves all over the ground, walking on the muddy ground formed by rotting leaves, their ears vigilantly listening to the movements around them, and there was a kind of murmuring whisper hidden in the wind in their ears, like a hand touching the soul, trying to rewrite people's thoughts.

"Concentrate, don't listen and think. Rogge turned back to Catherine beside him.

The girl froze down, nodded vigorously, clenched the silver handcuff in her hand with all her strength, looked intently ahead, and the faint voice in her ears gradually disappeared.

Suddenly, the little owl fell from the sky and landed on Rogge's shoulder, but instead of speaking directly, she jumped into Rog's ear and whispered a few words into his ear, and Catherine looked at them curiously, not knowing what was happening.

"Looks like we've found our first enchantment stone. Rogge said to Catherine.

He turned back to the little owl and nodded, "Lead the way, little one, and let's go over and see what kind of problems are waiting for us to solve." ”

The little owl soared into the air and flew in the direction where the barrier stone had been found, and Rog and Catherine quickened their pace and followed the little owl along the forest path to a T-junction.

"Just go in from here!" said the little owl, looking at the path on the right.

"Let's go!" Rog stepped into the path to the right, and Catherine was about to turn into it, when he suddenly saw a white figure standing in the grass not far away.

She looked back sharply, and saw a woman in a white dress and a shawl, standing in the shadows of the night looking at her with a pair of blood-red eyes.

(In the gloomy jungle, someone is quietly peeking at everything, the journey of death has begun, who is waiting for their arrival?
