"Who must see you now?" Rogge looked at Locke in surprise and frowned, "The wedding is about to start, can't we see you after it's over?"

"It's because the wedding is about to start that you must go with me immediately!" Locke took Rogge's hand without saying a word and turned to leave, and Rogge was dragged by him suspiciously to the first floor of the palace, all the way through the empty corridors of the palace, to the northeast corner of the palace.

In a dark corner of the hallway, Locke lifted a plank from behind a staircase, and Rogge, who was standing behind him, saw an eerie staircase leading to the ground, he looked at Locke in surprise, and the magician hooked his finger at him and walked down the stairs.

Rog followed him all the way down to a basement, the floor was covered with dust, and it was obvious that no one usually cleaned it, but the footprints on the ground told him that there were often people coming and going, which made him more and more suspicious.

The two walked through the empty basement to the two closed doors, Locke raised his hand to stop him, picked up his short cane and pressed it somewhere on it, the tip of the cane sticked out of a thin wire, Locke poked it into the lock on the door, and it took only two seconds for the lock to be picked open.

"Come in. Locke pushed the door open and beckoned to Rog to walk in, and Rogge cautiously followed him inside, only to see a woman in shabby clothes huddled in the corner of a square room, with heavy chains on her hands and feet, drooping her head as if she was sleeping.

"She's the one you want me to meet?" Rogge asked Locke beside him as he looked the woman up and down.

The magician nodded slightly, "That's right, when I was wandering in the corridor just now, I saw Machersky secretly talking to a servant, and then the servant sneakily walked here with a plate of things, and I saw that he was suspicious and followed him, and it turned out that he had come here to bring her food." ”

"Who is she?" Rogge looked back at Locke suspiciously, and Locke let out a long sigh and said, "She is Maria, Machersky's sister, the daughter of King Erus, and my former lover." ”

"What?" Rogge looked at him with wide eyes in surprise, and Locke nodded affirmatively, "It can't be wrong, although she is already emaciated and almost unrecognizable, but I have checked her ankle, and there is a small inconspicuous birthmark on it, and it will not be wrong." ”

"Oh my God, what the hell did Machersky do?" Rogge quickly digested the whole thing in his head, and then walked quickly to the woman, and Locke followed closely and crouched down beside the woman, calling her name softly, and after a moment, the woman opened her eyes groggily.

"Maria, do you still know me?" said Locke, holding the woman's emaciated pale face in his hands.

The woman's eyes stared at him for a long time, and a faint breath came out of her mouth and an unclear answer: "Locke, is that you......"

"It's me, I know I won't admit it!" Locke nodded excitedly, and looked back at Rog on the side, who showed his winged blade to cut off all the chains that bound Maria, helping her to remove the shackles from her hands and feet.

"I've been waiting for you at last, I've been praying to the gods every day, hoping that you will come and save me!" Maria, freed, cried and threw herself into Locke's arms, Locke stroked her head and comforted her softly, and when Maria calmed down, asked her what had happened.

"I don't know exactly what happened, I just know that my father's personality has changed completely since the magician named Ivan came to my father's side. Maria leaned weakly into Locke's arms, and said to the two of them in a weak voice.

"My brother and I discussed this matter privately, and we thought that it must be Ivan who had some influence on my father, and we tried many ways to eliminate Ivan's influence, but to no avail. ”

"Unexpectedly, one morning, before I woke up from my sleep, my brother suddenly came to my bedroom and knocked on the door, and he said that he wanted to show me something important, so he pulled me here, and before I could figure out what was going on, he put me in chains, and I was locked up here. ”

Maria looked at the dark dungeon around her, shrunk her shoulders in fear, and said, "I don't know why he did this, but no matter how much I struggled and cried, no one came to save me, and every day a servant would come to bring me a meal, and then no one would come again." ”

"Did he send someone yesterday as usual?" asked Rogge, crouching across from her and Locke, looking at her with concern.

Maria nodded slightly, and Rogge stood up when he heard this, and after a short contemplation, he said to Locke, "You bring Maria to the banquet hall, I have to rush over first, and I must stop the wedding!"

After saying that, he turned and rushed out of the dungeon, and with lightning speed through the corridors of the palace, it took only a few minutes to rush back to the banquet hall, and when he came to the door of the banquet hall, he heard the solemn voice of the chief priest from inside: "I declare in the name of the gods that you two are ......."

Before the chief priest could finish his words, Rog rushed to him like a swift shadow and knocked him to the ground with a punch, and the guests present were shocked when they saw this, and the high priest Goethe rose up and rebuked angrily: "Lone wolf, this is a holy wedding, what are you going to do!"

"The wedding must be terminated, you two must not get married!" Rogge ignored Goethe's roar, turned back to the newlyweds in the audience and said loudly, and for a moment the audience was in an uproar, and everyone's faces showed a look of consternation.

"You don't have the right to decide who I marry or not, it's my own business, please get out of here and don't mess with my wedding!" Catherine raised her eyebrows and pointed at Rogge.

"I really don't have the power to decide who she marries, but you don't have the power either!" Rogge stared at Catherine with cold eyes, and the words that came out of his mouth made the people present inexplicable, and Machersky stepped forward and raised his hand at Rogge and said loudly, "Sir, please be respectful of my wife!"

"She's not your wife, and never will be!" Rogge sneered and glanced at Marchersky, who was overheard by the King of Erus, Sarenchesky, standing up and shouting angrily: "Sir Langaro, my patience with you is limited, although you saved me from Ivan, I will not tolerate you being so presumptuous!"

He pointed at Rogge and shouted, "Someone, get him for me!" A large crowd of soldiers poured in through several doors in the hall and pounced on Rogge, who stood silently in place, his gaze sweeping over Catherine, Machersky, and Salenchesky pointing at his fingers.

"I see, the Bloody Bone Necklace is a disguise at all!" Rogge suddenly realized, and before the soldiers could get close to the figure and rush in front of the three of them, when he returned to his place, he already had three more sapphire rings in his hand.

The three who had been robbed of their rings looked down at their empty fingers, and when they looked up at Rogge, their open mouths seemed to say something, but they were no longer able to make a sound, and instantly became frozen in place, motionless like puppets.

At this time, the palace guards had already rushed to the front to surround Rogge, and the little Lolit Lilith turned into a little owl and flew to Rogge's side, shouting: "If any of you dare to come, I will kill you all!"

"Stop, stop!" Antonio hurried forward to stop the soldiers, and he separated the crowd and came to Rog's side with Tali, and asked in surprise, "What the hell is going on, what are you doing?"

"Ivan hasn't disappeared at all, he has already controlled Machersky, the Bone Necklace is just a hoax at all, he wants to use Machersky to deceive our trust, take the opportunity to control Catherine, and turn her into his pawn!" Rogge said to the two through gritted teeth.

Antonio and Tali were shocked when they heard this, and Antonio looked back at the three people who were standing in place and asked, "How did you know about this, and what did you find?"

"Machersky imprisoned his sister, Maria did not marry far away at all, and Locke found her in the dungeon in the northeastern corner of the palace, and she told us that she and Machersky had been trying to eliminate Ivan's influence on the king, and it was at this time that Machersky suddenly imprisoned her. ”

Rogge looked left and right at the surprised looks on their faces and asked, "Isn't it obvious? Ivan took control of Machersky, let him trick and imprison his sister, and then disguised the truth under the pretense of marrying, and imprisoned her in the dungeon as a spare pawn." ”

"The Bloody Bone Necklace ......" Tali asked in a panic, and before the words fell, Rog had already stuffed the three rings into her hand and said, "The Bloody Bone Necklace is simply a prop, and what Ivan really uses to control people's spirits is these three rings!"

He walked past the two of them to Catherine, holding her dull face with both hands, her eyes radiating a faint green light, Catherine's pupils were suddenly plated with a layer of bright green, only to hear a painful roar from her throat: "Lone wolf, don't think you can defeat me in this way......"

Before she could finish speaking, Catherine suddenly collapsed into Rog's arms, and Rogge handed her to Tali behind him, turned and walked up to Salenchesky and Marchersky, and looked into their eyes with the pupils of fear, and with two roars of pain, the father and son each collapsed to the ground.

Antonio hurriedly asked the soldiers to help the king and the marquis, and heard Rogge turn around and say: "Ivan's method is actually the same as the dark wizard who manipulated Sasha, the daughter of the matriarch of the lizard, in the Swamp of Death last time, but this bastard is more insidious, trying to conceal the spell of casting, and on the other hand, using the people he manipulates to spy on the people around him. ”

"Oh my God, I'm glad you found out in time, if it's a little later, then Catherine she ......" Tali hugged the unconscious Catherine in her arms and felt scared for a while, Rogge strode up to her and asked the little flower spirit who was following Tali: "Monica, where is the wolf eye amulet?"

"At my place, the Marquis told Catherine to take off the necklace he had given me, and Catherine had given me the amulet for safekeeping. Little Flower Spirit stretched out a rattan from her back, and a pitcher plant bloomed on the rattan, and took out the talisman from it and handed it to Rogge.

"If she hadn't taken off the amulet, Ivan wouldn't have been able to succeed, what a carelessness!" Rog said with a sigh as he glanced at Catherine's sleepy face.

As he spoke, Locke hurried to the banquet hall with Maria in his arms, and among the guests who were familiar with Maria quickly recognized her, and the hall suddenly became commotion, and Antonio asked the soldiers to send the king, the marquis, and Maria back to the room to rest, and then asked Rogge: "What should we do now, we must find Ivan and eradicate him completely!"

"I have a solution. Rog handed the amulet to Tali, then took a ring from her and said, "If you want to find Ivan, you have to wear this ring!"
