"No, Your Highness, you don't have to bother. Rog stopped the dwarven prince Thor, who was about to transfer his troops, and said confidently, "I think we'll get the news of that corpse soon." ”

"Just wait here?" Sol looked at Rogge suspiciously, the corners of Rogge's mouth showed a slight wisp of self-expression, looked up at the sunny sky, and smiled: "Isn't this coming?"

Everyone looked up and followed his line of sight, only to see a small black bird fluttering around the towering fortress of the Burning Sun Castle, hiding from the sunlight in the shadows, and staggering down like a drunk, and slammed into Rogge's hat with a "snap".

"Have you stolen King Odin's century-old wine?" while His Highness is here, hurry up and confess, and strive for leniency!" said Rogge, shaking his head, and the little owl closed its eyes and folded its wings, squirming its body to turn its back to the sun, and grumbling.

"I hate the sun, my eyes are glazed, do you know how hard it was for me to fly back from the forest, I'm going to sleep!" the little furball muttered as she squirmed her chubby little ass and jumped off Rog's hat and drilled into the back of his neck, trying to hide in his wide-brimmed hat.

"You're going again!" Rogge reached out and grabbed her back, turned around and shielded himself from the spilling sunlight, "Did you find anything?"

"A few Grey Falcon have seen a corpse in the mines to the west of the castle, it looks like it is human, nothing else has been found, I've asked everyone to search everywhere, and I'll let us know if there's any news. The little furball replied with his eyes closed and like a little blind man.

"Okay, good job, you can go to sleep. Rogge took off his wide-brimmed hat and tucked Lilith into it, and Hòu put it back on his head and heard the shouts of a little furball coming from inside: "Remember to wake me up for dinner!"

"I won't give you a guarantee!" Rogge shouted casually, and then said to Thor, "Your Highness, how far is the mining area west of Liesun Castle from here?"

"It's not far, it's about an hour away now. The dwarven prince said eagerly, "I will go and gather my troops now, and I will go with you!"

"Okay Your Highness, but please don't forget to deploy enough men to protect His Majesty Odin, although the Void Hunters have not listed him as the main attack against Xiàng before, they may attack Your Majesty again at any time, we must prioritize Your Majesty's safety!"

Thor agreed with Rogge's words, and he quickly arranged everything, and Hòu led five hundred dwarven cavalry to leave the Sun Castle with Rogge and the others.

As Prince Thor said, after traveling for about an hour, Rogge and the others arrived at the mining area west of Lieyang Castle, where there was no vegetation in the open land, and a huge crater appeared in front of them, and there was no one nearby.

"It looks like it's been abandoned for a long time. Rogge said, standing on the edge of the pit and looking at the pit.

The dwarven prince Thor descended from the half-man-tall pony and said, "Yes, this mine has not been visited for a long time, because there is no mining value left. ”

"Where's the body we're looking for?" said Murphy, walking over to Rogge's side, looking out over the ravine.

"See that black dot?" Rogge said, pointing to a black dot at the bottom of the pit that was distinctly different from the color of the earth, "It should be there, let's go down and have a look!" He left Jim the Treant and Monica the Flower Spirit to wait where they were, and walked down the pit with the others.

When they reached the bottom of the pit, Rogge saw the corpse lying on the ground, with its feet facing an eerie hole, lying face down on the ground, a black cloak draped over the deceased's body.

Rogge waved his hand to stop everyone, his eyes swept around the corpse, no blood was found, and there were no obvious footprints on the road before and after the corpse, he asked everyone to stay where they were, and walked carefully towards the corpse.

When he stopped at the corpse's feet, he saw two blurred footprints on the left and right sides of the corpse, but the outline was still faintly visible, and no other footprints were found around the corpse.

He waved his hand to signal everyone to come, and then hòu crouched down and lifted the black cloak wrapped around the corpse, and the dead Void Hunter lay quietly in front of him, his hands naturally drooping, his legs not together, his left hand was visibly bloodstained, and his right hand was clenched into a fist, and his face was not tilted to the left and right, but to the ground.

"Look at this. Rogge said to Murphy, who walked to his side, and the adventurer crouched down beside him, and saw Rogge lift the collar of the black-robed man with his hand, and a black-purple strangulation mark appeared on the corpse's neck.

"It's the Void Chains. Murphy stared at the lock-shaped strangulation marks on the corpse's neck and said, "It looks like their captain did it himself." ”

Rogge nodded silently, and turned the corpse over with Murphy, seeing that the corpse's eyes were not closed, there was an obvious gunshot wound on the right side of the waist and abdomen, the blood around it had already coagulated, and the clothes that adhered to the skin were hardened by the coagulated blood.

"Your veteran is right, experience is the most trustworthy thing," Rogge glanced back at Prince Thor standing beside him, took out a cigar and lit it while smiling, "When you go back, you can reward him well!"

"Of course!" said Thor proudly, looking back at the hole behind the corpse, and asked Rog suspiciously, "Are those guys hiding in this mine, there are many places to hide in here!"

Rog glanced back at the mine, got up and said to Thor, "Let's go over and have a look, Your Highness." The two of them left the group and walked towards the mine, and Catherine quietly followed, walking behind to listen to their conversation.

Rog stopped in front of the cave, looked down and saw a pair of clear footprints coming out of the hole, he took a cigar in his hand and looked at the footprints for a moment, then walked to the mouth of the cave and looked into the dark cave for a while, then turned and walked out.

"Shall we go in and search the Qù?, these footprints are clearly left by the deceased when he walked out of the mine!" Prince Thor asked, looking up at Rogge with concern.

Rogge didn't answer immediately, but glanced at Catherine, who was standing beside the prince, and asked, "Baby, do you think there is anything special about these footprints?"

"Very ......," Catherine replied cautiously, staring at the trail of footprints leading into the cavern, "I think they look particularly clear." ”

"Very well, you've got to the point!" Rogge said approvingly.

Thor and Catherine looked at him blankly, not understanding the meaning of his smile, only to see him crouch down next to the footprints, poke the ground under his feet with his fingers, and said, "It's the height of summer, and the sun is blazing every day, you can try it, the ground is hot now." ”

He glanced at the two men who were crouching down and pressing their hands on the ground and said, "Under such a scorching sun, the ground will be very hard, and it is impossible to leave such clear footprints, and we have never left such deep footprints along the way when we came." ”

"And," he said, pointing in the direction of the corpse with a meaningful smile, "if you had just paid attention to the footprints beside the corpse, you would have noticed that there were two pairs of very shallow footprints beside the corpse, and the corpse was a dozen paces away from here, and there were no footprints on the ground in between. ”

Also, the corpse's hands drooped naturally, his legs were not brought together, and the toe of his shoes was facing backwards rather than the ground, which was not the posture of a man who had naturally gone out of business, and the two footprints beside him indicated that he had been dragged here. ”

"I see, those two pairs of footprints should be the ones who transported the corpses, and this pair ......" Catherine glanced down at her feet and said loudly, "It should have been deliberately left to deceive us!"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Prince Thor asked, looking at the footprints in surprise, "You say the footprints are fake?"

"That's right, as long as you splash water on the ground at night, and then hòu stomps on the ground with your feet, you will leave clear footprints, and after a few hours of exposure after the sun rises, the ground will soon harden, and all the traces of water will evaporate, and you can't see that anyone has done anything at all. ”

Rogge stood up, looked up at the scorching sun, lowered the brim of his wide-brimmed hat to block out the sunlight, and continued: "They tried to fake the corpse as a serious injury to leave the cave, but they ended up dead outside the door, and deliberately left a gap between the corpse and the footprints, so that we thought that he used teleportation after walking out of the cave. ”

"It does look like that, that's what I thought at first!" Thor nodded in surprise.

"But they made a few mistakes!" Rogge looked down at the footprints in front of him and said, "First of all, the forged footprints are too obvious, but they want to cover up the old bottom, the second is the posture of the corpse falling down, and the last point is that the number of footprints next to the corpse is inconsistent with the number of footprints in front of the door of the mine, which is an obvious flaw!"

"I see, I was almost deceived by them!" Thor said angrily, gritting his teeth.

"Let's go back and see if there are any useful clues on the corpse. Rog beckoned to the two and turned to walk towards the corpse.

The three of them returned to the corpse, and Rogge crouched down next to the corpse and asked, "Is there anything new?"

"There was nothing on the body, the wounds had not been treated, and they had apparently searched him and taken everything useful. Murphy said as he looked at Tali, who had just finished examining her wounds.

"Don't say it so absolutely!" Rogge got up and walked behind the corpse, stopped beside its legs, and leaned over to observe it as he said to Catherine, "My teacher told me that to know where a man has been, you must first look at his shoes and trousers. ”

He lifted one of the corpse's legs and looked closely at the soles of his boots, which were covered with a lot of dust and a small amount of dirt, and Rogge took off the other boot and found that it had a layer of dirt on the outside of the upper, which was dry and slightly cracked.

He tapped the dirt with the claw blade of his left hand, watching it crumble and scatter, Rog's eyes were keenly focused on the falling mud, he dropped his boot and picked the mud from the ground with his hands, and saw that there were a few tangled brown hairs wrapped inside.

"Did you find anything?" Catherine asked curiously, and Sophia, the elven princess who had been watching the change, also leaned over to the other side of Rogge and looked at Rogge with concern.

Rogge took the piece of dirt to his nose and sniffed it, then Hòu casually handed it to them and smiled, "Which of you two can guess what this is?
