readx;?“ You're right, High Priest e.la" Hearing Goethe's reluctance, Rog looked up at him calmly, spat the burned cigar on the ground and said, "Maybe, but maybe just maybe, I prefer to believe what I can be sure of." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

With that, he swung his knife and cut the rope that bound Mina, and the rope slid off Mina's body and scattered around her two dirty bare feet.

"You'll be the first to be bitten to death by that enchantress, stupid lone wolf!" cursed Goethe in a frustrated voice.

"Perhaps, High Priestess, if that happens, please don't forget to give Mina the bounty for my want. Rogge looked back at him and raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Before the words could be finished, Mina suddenly jumped forward and hugged him tightly with both hands, everyone was taken aback, and from the back she seemed to bite Rog's neck, Catherine raised the silver gun in her hand and was about to shoot, but Antonio held down her hand holding the gun.

After a short silence, the motionless Rogge suddenly touched Mina's head with his hand and said, "Well, I can understand that you are responding to the words of the High Priest, so you specially 'bite' me?"

Mina slowly raised her head and looked at him with tenderness in her eyes, and everyone present found that Mina's original pale face had returned to a normal person's face at this time, and her blood-red eyes had also turned back to pure sapphire blue, and the emotions flashing in her eyes at this time made it look extraordinarily beautiful.

"Thank you," Mina's voice was no longer as cold and stiff as before, "thank you for believing in me, no one has ever believed me for all these years, because I can't defend myself, lies have engulfed me, and you are the only one who trusts me." ”

"No," Rogge smiled and shook his head slightly, Mina showed a look of surprise on her face when she heard the word, only to hear Rogge laugh: "I don't trust you, nor anyone else, I trust only evidence, they tell me that you are trustworthy." ”

Rogge's words made Mina smile again, she hugged Rogge tightly, and put her face on his chest, at this moment, the little furball returned here with the priests who had surveyed the bloody footprints, and as soon as Lilith saw Mina holding Rogge, she immediately fell on Rogge's head and shouted: "Why is Miss Stone holding the bad wolf, the bad wolf you didn't even get my consent!"

"You stole food from the two of us without my permission. Roger smiled and turned back to the High Priest Goethe, "How is it, High Priest, is the news that your priests have brought you the same as what I said earlier?"

High Priest Goethe didn't squeak, lowered his head and continued to listen to the report of the leading priest, and after a few questions, he glanced at Rogge and replied reluctantly: "You're right, lone wolf, but I still think that woman is not trustworthy, she ......"

"Ah, High Priestess, I'll be in charge of Mina's affairs, as long as you agree with the issue of the bloody footprints, and as for Mina, if she wants to eat people, I can feed her the little bad birds, and you can fry them!" said Rogge, looking at Mina who was holding him with a wicked smile.

Mina could see that he was joking, but her face still felt a little embarrassed, and at this time, the little furball standing on Rog's hat protested loudly and dissatisfiedly: "Nasty bad wolf, don't try to use me to please the pretty girl, Sister Stone, use your stone to help me beat the bad wolf!"

"Ah, before it happened, the little bad bird began to win over new allies, and that's what she does best. Rogge shook his head vigorously and said, the little furball was shaken by him and he couldn't stand steadily, and the little butt suddenly fell on the hat.

Rogge took Mina's hand and sat down by the pool, and at the same time beckoned to Antonio, Catherine and the others, and said, "Come on, captain, girls, since Mina is free to speak, we should also hear what is going on in this matter, anyway, it's almost dawn, come and listen to a story and have breakfast." ”

Antonio led the girls to the two of them, and Catherine, Tully, and Britney all sat down on Rogge's side, and they were still a little uneasy about Mina, as the high priest had said, so they did not dare to sit beside her.

Antonio stood beside Mina, and the high priest Goethe had the priest bring him a wooden chair and sat opposite the girls, many of whom stood around the pool to hear what was going on in the village.

After a brief silence, Mina began her story: "It is very painful for me to remember all this, it is a nightmare that I cannot wake up, a dream that I have been living for many years, and it all started when I was eighteen years old. ”

"On the day of my eighteenth birthday, a messenger from the god of ravens suddenly sent his will to our house, asking my parents to send me to the Valley of the Damned as a sacrifice for the year within three days. ”

"Before that, every year a village girl would be sent to the Valley of the Damned, and then there would be no trace of her, my parents were very sad, but they did not dare to disobey the god of crows, they decided to obey, but I did not want to accept it, because I already had a lover in my heart. ”

"I told the news to my beloved Owen, and we thought about escaping the village, but eventually dismissed that idea, because many girls had done this before, but the village was full of watchmen of the god of ravens, and those ravens would drive back those who tried to escape, and report to the god of crows to punish those who escaped. ”

"The two of us consulted for two days, but there was no solution, until on the afternoon of the third day, I suddenly had a bold idea: the god of crows wants a virgin, and what if I am not? I will dedicate my first time to the man I love, and if I no longer meet the requirements of the god of crows, perhaps he will take his eyes off me. ”

"I told Owen about the idea, but he thought it might anger the Raven God, maybe he would kill me, and he wanted me to have a wedding with him, just the two of us, and he was willing to bear this possible death with me, in the name of husband and wife. ”

Speaking of this, Mina closed her eyes and lowered her head, a teardrop hung on her long eyelashes, Rogge gently put his hand on her shoulder, Mina sniffled and raised her head to wipe away her tears, nodded slightly and said, "I'm fine, we were united like that, and we became husband and wife without telling everyone." ”

"That very night, my parents sent me to the mouth of the Valley of the Damned, and they left me to be there, and then I left, standing alone in front of the desolate and terrible valley, with the sound of crows in my ears from time to time, and I felt cold and flustered. ”

And at this time, Owen suddenly appeared, it turned out that he had been following me, he came to my side and hugged me, told me that he would be with me to face everything that followed, holding his hand, and my heart regained courage. ”

"We waited there until midnight, when suddenly a flock of crows fell from the sky and turned into a black shadow, and he asked in a gloomy voice what we were coming from, and we told him what had happened, and he was silent for a moment, and then suddenly waved his hand and released a raven into the air. ”

"The crow's cry attracted a flock of crows, they frantically pounced on Owen, pecked him to the ground, I watched Owen being eaten alive by the crows, but his body could not move, when Owen's body was only a bloody skeleton, I had already fainted several times, and I wanted to die with him. ”

"But the gloomy man didn't kill me, he told me that he was going to curse my village, curse my family, turn my parents and brother into ogres, and not only that, but they would also be liars, and their mouths would be full of vicious lies, and all lies would be directed against me. ”

"The curse he has placed on me has made it impossible for me to tell the truth, and if I say more than five words of truth, I will become a cannibal monster like my family, and there is only one way to lift the curse on me, and that is to have someone who does not know the truth willing to believe me without any justification. ”

Mina raised her head and looked at Rogge gratefully, her eyes were full of ten thousand words of indescribable gratitude, Rogge smiled faintly and said: "I am indeed a person who does not know the truth, but from another point of view, I know all this, because all actions will leave traces, they will restore the real us, and their names are evidence." ”

"If I had met someone like you earlier, maybe a lot of people would have survived. Mina sighed with emotion and said, "But now it's too late, everyone is dead, including my brother's wife and children, they are the first victims, my brother personally bit his wife and children to death, and ate them." ”

"It's horrible. Catherine, who was sitting next to Rogge, said in horror.

"If the god of crows had allowed it, maybe they would have eaten me with me. Mina looked at Catherine with her clear blue eyes, and whispered, "But he won't allow me to die, he wants to make me mad in the torment of lies." ”

"In the years since I was cursed, I have tried four times to warn the adventurers who pass by the village, at first I told them bluntly, but none of them believed me, and instead forced me away from them with weapons, which made me finally fall silent, I knew that no one would believe me, and I did not need to jump into the trap of the devil in order to save them. ”

"But you're smart, and you've quoted the great writers of literature to guide me. Rogge said to Mina with an approving smile.

Mina's cheeks showed the blush that a girl often revered when she heard the compliments of others, and she looked at Rogge with admiration and said, "But more important is your wisdom, in fact I have been worried about whether you will understand me, and I have tried similar methods to warn others, but they are all indifferent. ”

"Ah, that's thanks to Old Augustine!" Rog looked at the crowd with a sly expression, and turned back to Mina, "Perhaps I should send you to the Oak Temple to meet my teacher, Old Augustine has a large library, more than the Royal Library, and I guess you'll get along very well." ”

Hearing Rogge's words, Mina's blue eyes flashed with a glint of expectation, but she quickly calmed down and said to Rogge solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. Rogge, I would be willing to meet your teacher if I have the opportunity, but until then, I hope to be able to go to the Valley of the Curse and complete my revenge!"

"You're right, Mina, we'll go with you. Rogge stood up, glanced up at the glowing sky, and said, "How is it, two captains, are you ready to visit the demons in the Valley of the Damned?"
