"Guillotine?" Antonio stared at Rogge in surprise, and Rogge glanced back at Catherine and said, "Tell the Captain how I escaped from the palace prison with nine deaths." ”

Catherine then told Rogge about his arrest and almost beheading, but because she didn't get Rogge's instructions, the girl was very careful not to mention the inside story, but only told the process of George and others rescuing Rogge.

"Hey, baby, don't forget me! I'm the one who has the most credit!" Locke, who was dozing off on the other side of Rog, suddenly opened one eye and winked at Catherine.

"You're better than the little bad bird, why don't you say that this house is my thank you gift?" Rogge reached out and slapped Locke on the back, and the magician bared his teeth and glared back at him, moving his stool to the side and muttering, "What a cautious miser!"

After Antonio understood what was going on, he still spared no effort to persuade: "I know that you have some grudges with the royal family and the Marquis of Thunder, but now Queen Irene is in danger, and we are facing Prince Gurman, the strongest vampire senator, and no one can help us rescue the queen except you!"

"You can set up a new king!" Rogge spread his hands nonchalantly and said, "The Itali royal family should not lack offspring, just make the children of the Marquis of Thunder as kings, and everything will be solved?"

"How can this be?" Antonio got up on the table with some annoyance and said, "As long as there is the slightest hope, we will also have to save the queen, how can the blood of the royal family be discarded casually?"

"Then it's up to you," Rogge said, rising from his chair, smiling unhurriedly and shaking his head, "Anyway, she's not my queen." With that, he turned and walked away.

"This bastard!" Antonio punched the table, his face turned grim and cursed, and Locke, who was sitting at the other end of the table, imitated him and slammed the table with his fist, echoing: "That's right, what a bastard!"

Antonio, Tali, Catherine, and Lilith all frowned and looked back at him, and Locke suddenly realized that something was wrong, and glanced at them secretly, got up and smiled, and said, "You talk, I'll go to bed!"

Antonio sat down in his chair again, holding his chin in his hand and thinking about what to do, Tali looked at him from the side, looked at his sad appearance, muttered for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I'll go up and talk to him, maybe there will be some turnaround?"

She called Catherine and carried Lilith to Rog's room, Tali knocked on the door gently, but no one answered, and Tali called softly, "Rogge, are you in there?" I'm Tali, I want to talk to you. ”

There was still no sound inside, Tali looked back at Catherine, reached out and tried to push the door, but found that the door was locked from the inside, she knocked again, and there was still no response in the room.

The two were helpless, and the little Lori in Tali's arms suddenly said, "I have a way!"

I saw Lilith take out the soul crystal ball from the small bag on her belt, and the screaming ghost was released by chanting the spell, only to hear a scream that pierced the entire manor, and everyone's eardrums felt a sharp pain.

"Shut up, little villain!"

With a "bang", the door opened, Rogge poked his head out to stare at Lilith with a look of annoyance, and little Lori pointed to his nose and shouted to Tali, "Look, it's out!"

"Get your little paw away!" Rog flicked her little finger away with his hand, telling her to take the screaming ghost back into the crystal ball, turning back into the room, where Tali and Catherine followed the room and saw him open the balcony door and walk onto the balcony.

Tali wanted to give Lilith to Catherine, but little Lori glared at Catherine with disgust, and she turned into a little owl and flew to Rog's bed, bouncing and playing on the trampoline.

Although Tali was a little surprised by Lilith's reaction, she didn't have time to ask more questions at this time, so Catherine stayed here for the time being, and came to Rog's side by herself.

"What do you have to say, Miss Lobbyist?" said Rogge, bringing a cigar he had just lit to his lips and leaning against the railing of the balcony and looking out over the night field.

"I know you don't have a good opinion of the Empire's princes," Tali said, looking back at him with his hand on the railing, "and it doesn't matter to you whether they live or die, but there's one issue you can't afford not to consider, and that's Prince Gurman." ”

"You are a vampire hunter, you know better than any of us about the situation of vampires, Prince Gurman is the highest vampire at the moment, I think his strength must also be stronger than Elizabeth, if his power is further enhanced, you should know the consequences very well. ”

"So what?" said Rog with a smile on her earnest expression, "Prince Gurman wants the blood of the Marquis of Thunder just to gain his magical immunity, so that the Human Saint Society will have nothing to do with him, and ordinary silver weapons can't approach him at all." ”

"Since you know everything, do you want to see things turn out like this?" asked Tali, seeing him say this, while the iron was hot.

"Things won't go as Gurman intended," Rogge shook his head with a confident smile and said, "The Marquis of Thunder won't promise him, he knows how powerful his blood is, and even better than we know, he won't give this power to vampires." ”

"But what about the Queen?" Tully asked worriedly, "I heard that the Queen was very young when she ascended the throne, and it was the Marquis of Thunder who assisted her to this day, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are like father and daughter, and the Marquis of Thunder will not watch the Queen be killed!"

"Of course he won't watch the queen killed, he will gather all the Itali troops, attack Prince Gurman's fortress, and rescue their queen!" Rogge bit the words "their" very hard, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"But they don't even know where Prince Gurman's castle is now!" said Tali anxiously.

"Ah, that's easy!" Rog turned and walked into the room, and Tali followed in to see Rog around the foot of the bed, pointing to the little furballs bouncing around on the bed and shouting, "Go down, little bad bird, don't make your bird feathers all over my bed!" as she walked to a row of cabinets by the wall.

He pulled out a scroll of paper from the cupboard, turned to the table and spread it out, the little furball flew over the bed, and curiously landed on his shoulder and looked down, and saw a hand-drawn map spread out on the table, the center of the map was the city of Itali, and the towns centered on the royal capital were on the map.

In addition, they saw several castles with bat's wings scattered around the city of Itali, one of which had the word "Gurman" written on it.

At the bottom of the map, there is also a detailed diagram of the castle's structure, detailing the rooms on each floor of the castle, from the bell tower and watchtower on the top floor to the basement on the ground floor.

"See, this is Prince Gurmain's castle, you ask Antonio to bring these two maps back to the Marquis of Thunder, and ask him to send troops to rescue his queen, I can't take care of the rest, I still have a bunch of kids to train!" Rogge said, pushing the map in front of Tali.

Tali glanced up at the back of him turning around and walking to the balcony, looked down at the map in front of him, although a little helpless, but it was better than nothing, she put away the map and was about to leave with Catherine, when she suddenly heard Rogge shouting: "Catherine, you stay, Miss Tully, please take care of yourself, I won't send you!"

The mermaid had no choice but to say goodbye to Catherine, turned around and left the room to find Antonio, Catherine, who stayed behind, walked to the balcony door behind him, looked at his back and asked, "Did you tell me something?"

Rogge put the cigar between his lips, took a deep breath and spat out a spinning smoke ring, and ordered with a smile: "Let Locke go to Itali City early tomorrow morning to inquire about the movement of the army, and at the same time tell George that they should be ready, I have a combat test waiting for them." ”

......

Antonio, who returned to Italy City, transferred the map that Rogge gave to Tali to Martin, Marquis of Thunder, and told Martin what had happened, and Martin sighed and said, "Actually, I also expected that he was unlikely to be willing to help, and he was willing to provide us with the location of Prince Gurman's residence, which is already very good." ”

"Then what are you going to do?, do you want to send troops immediately?" asked Antonio, looking at Martin worriedly.

Martin sighed sadly and said: "Sending troops to attack Gurman Castle is not the best strategy, but there is really no way, even if we can break through the fortress, Prince Gurman may use Her Majesty as a threat, to ensure Your Majesty's safety, it is still difficult." ”

Antonio, standing next to Martin, looked down at the two maps spread out on the table, and his eyes fell on the basement of the map inside the castle, and he saw the words written in the corner of the map: No Magical Barrier.

"What do you think that means?" Antonio asked Tali as he turned back.

The Mermaid Guardian looked down at the line he was referring to, then at the map in the rest of the map, pondered for a moment, and said, "I guess the vampire's castle must have some kind of magical barrier to prevent outsiders from using dimensional teleportation magic to infiltrate the castle, just like their castle's invisibility ability, this barrier will wrap around the castle's outer layer." ”

"But they won't put a barrier on the basement that is more than ten meters deep!" Antonio perked up and turned back to Martin and said, "This is a good opportunity, Tali and I can use the tunnel and the dimensional passage of the god of lights to enter the castle, you just need to lead the army to feint outside, attract the attention of the vampires, and we will enter the castle to find the queen and rescue her!"

"This is indeed a good idea," Martin nodded in agreement, but looked at the two of them with some concern, "But Gurman may not relax his guard on Her Majesty, once you two enter, you will be alone, I am afraid it will be very dangerous!"

"Don't worry, Your Excellency," said Antonio confidently, "this is not the first time we have faced danger. ”

Two days later, the main armies of the main cities of Itali gathered in the city of Itali, under the unified command of Martin, Marquis of Thunder, and left the royal capital for the castle of King Gurman, the Itali army surrounded Prince Gurman's fortress from three directions in the deep moonlight, and the soldiers hung silver swords from their waists and held firearms full of silver projectiles, waiting for the order to go to war.

The only one north of the castle without Italian's army, Antonio, Tali and the god of lights lurked in the grass under the cover of night, looking out at the dark shadow of the vampire castle, there was no moon tonight, there was darkness everywhere, and a dead and silent wilderness accompanied by the ghosts of the castle was terrifying.

Suddenly, a loud bang came from the direction of the main gate of the castle, and the sound of killing and fire suddenly broke the silence of the night, and a large number of bats roared out of the castle, turning into vampires and pounced on the Itali army.

"Come on, the battle begins!" Antonio said with a nod of his head to Tali, putting on the hood of his black cloak.
