"What's going on?" Rogge, who had just woken up from the haze, looked back at Lilith in surprise, and little Lori shouted indistinctly, "The Grand Master has fainted, you go over and take a look!"

Rogge hurriedly jumped up from the ground, followed the jumping little Lori to find Antonio and the others, just in time to see Catherine and Tali helping Antonio to sit up from the ground, he squatted down beside Antonio and asked with concern, "What's the matter?

"Just now we were talking, and Captain Antonio suddenly fainted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info" Catherine said, looking worriedly.

"Are you hurt?" Rogge asked Antonio suspiciously, and the knight commander rubbed his forehead with his hand and said with an ugly face, "No, but I often feel dizzy lately, maybe I'm too tired, right?"

"Is there anything abnormal in his body?" Rogge didn't seem satisfied with his answer, and turned his gaze to Tali's face, the mermaid pressed her hand on the back of Antonio's hand, and said with a frown on her brow for a moment, "I feel that there is a strange aura on his body, which I haven't felt before." ”

Rog pondered for a moment, then suddenly reached for Antonio's waist, tore the cloth bag containing the fragments of the holy weapon from his belt, opened it and took out the broken white jade staff, and found that the original snow-white jade at the fracture had turned black, and it was likely to continue to extend.

"Sure enough," Rogge said to the trio, looking up at the trio, "the dark energy leaking from the artifact is invading the people around it, and Antonio is the closest person to it, so the impact is most obvious. ”

"Will Grand Master become the Bat Leader?" little Lori interjected curiously, standing behind him.

"Not for a while," Rogge said to Antonio, retracting the artifact from his sack, "but it will affect your spirit, and may make you do something you don't know about, I think it's better to leave this thing to me first, you need to stay away from it for a while to eliminate the effects." ”

He was about to put the cloth bag away, when Antonio suddenly pressed his hand and said, "No, if that's the case, I should take it with me, and since I know that it's doing the trick, I'll try to use the divine magic to suppress its leakage and avoid letting it affect others." ”

He took the bag from Rogge's hand and said meaningfully: "What's more, if this thing is really going crazy, I can bear it better than you, in case you really go berserk, who of the three of us can control you?"

Rogge stared at his uneasy eyes, nodded silently for a moment and didn't say anything more, Tali on the side saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so she changed the topic and said: "The key for us now is to find a way to repair the holy weapon as soon as possible to avoid the leakage of dark energy, now that the mage tower can't be counted on, do you have any other way?"

"Claire, are they gone?" Hearing Tully's words, Rog suddenly remembered the fallen angels, only to hear Catherine nod and reply: "They are already gone, before leaving, Claire asked us not to disturb you, if it wasn't for the sudden fainting of Captain Antonio just now, I wouldn't let Lilith go to you." ”

"Okay. Rog sat down on the spot and said to the three of them, "As Tali said just now, we can't count on the Mage Tower, the only way is to go to the people, I know a master craftsman who is good at carving and repairing jade in Khan Fort, maybe he can help us." ”

"Khanburg?" said Antonio thoughtfully, "I remember that it was the center of the Empire's gem trade, and as one of the few major cities with a port on the coast, the gems brought from the East and the South were traded here, and the gem market I visited there was indeed an eye-opener. ”

"You're right," Rogge said as he raised his hand and let little Lori sit down on his lap with his hand, rubbing his hand against her little head, "Khan Fort has a large number of gem craftsmen, and jewelers from all over the country will buy rough stones in the port, give them to the great craftsmen in the city to deal with, and then bring the processed gems to the various territories to sell at a high price. ”

"Wow, there must be a lot of beautiful jewelry, I want to buy a lot of beautiful jewelry to wear!" Little Lori shouted with longing and her eyes shining.

"How about I ask the master craftsman to help you carve a statue of a little fat bird out of black jade?" Rogge looked down at her with a wicked smile, Lilith pursed her lips and glared at him and said, "It's better to carve a white jade donkey ear bad wolf!"

"Then I can't carve it!" Rogge shrugged helplessly and smiled.

That night, they spent a quiet night in the Nameless Valley, and the next morning, after breakfast, Tali took out the magic lamp that she had retrieved from the rubble under the ivory tower, summoned the lamp god, and asked him to send them to Khanburg.

The god of lights opened the door of dimension on the uninhabited wilderness on the outskirts of Fort Khan, and Rogge and the others jumped out of it, and saw that there was a fork in the road not far away, and they came to the intersection to look at the weathered street sign for a while, Catherine pointed to the east and said excitedly: "That is the fishing village where we first met." ”

"Yes," said Antonio, bowing slightly, pointing to the south side, "and the south side is the port of Hamburg, and the road to the north leads to Hamburg, let's go directly to the city, find the master craftsman first, and then go to the port to visit after the holy vessel is repaired." ”

Catherine nodded in agreement, and the two turned around and were about to go north, but found Rog and Tali standing quietly in place, Rog's eyes looked east, while Tully looked south, Antonio and Catherine looked at each other suspiciously, and stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing," Rogge shook his head casually, glanced up at the sky, and said, "The city gate should be open now, let's go, and get to the city as soon as possible." With that, he turned and walked north.

"Are you okay?" Antonio looked at Tali with concern, feeling that her face was not very good, but the mermaid shook her head lightly and silently followed Rogge, Antonio didn't know why, so he had to follow quickly.

"Monica," Catherine whispered to Little Flower Spirit at the end, "Mr. Rogge and Miss Tully are weird, as if they had something on their minds. ”

"Maybe I remembered something," said Xiao Hualing, who was sitting on Catherine's shoulder, looking at the three people walking in front of her, "Don't ask them yet, just observe them." ”

The group soon came to the foot of Khanbao along the flat avenue outside the city, where a number of wagons carrying rough gems passed them along the way, and many heavily armed mercenaries guarded them, protecting the goods on the wagons and the employers on the luxurious four-wheeled carriages that followed.

The four men clinged to the edge of the road and avoided the passing traffic and entered the city, where they found that the streets were full of jewelry, jewelry and rough stone shops, and several soldiers stood guard at the forks in each street to avoid theft and robbery.

At this time, the market was already crowded, many jewelry store clerks invited passing merchants and pedestrians to enter the store to buy, some jewelry processing shops parked in front of the horse-drawn carriage transporting rough stones, workers were unloading heavy rough stones, and richly dressed jewelry merchants were talking to the craftsmen in low voices.

The three of them followed Rogge through several streets, stopped in front of a magnificent jewelry processing shop on Central Avenue, and saw a sign that specialized in processing oriental jade, because there is no jade produced in the European continent, all jade is imported from the oriental continent, so the processing technology is very rare, and the value of jade is quite expensive.

Rogge motioned for the three of them to wait here, stepped forward and gently knocked on the open door and asked, "Is Klose there?"

After a while, a middle-aged man with a medium height and a mustache came out curiously, and laughed loudly when he saw Rogge: "Ah, my old friend, you haven't come to see me in years, you really miss me!"

Rogge smiled and hugged him, and then introduced Antonio and the others to him, hearing that he was the head of the Supreme Order of the Holy Order, Klose respectfully saluted Antonio, and then invited them to sit in the shop.

On the way, Rogge introduced to Antonio: "Klose is the most famous jade craftsman in Khanburg, and the Hamburg Jewellers' Guild once awarded him the title of Great Master, which is not available to everyone, and I helped him recover a precious jade carved that his employer had deposited here a few years ago, and caught the thief who stole it, so we became good friends." ”

"Yes," Klose said to Antonio with a smile on his face, "If it wasn't for Rogge's help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be where I am today, that jade carving is so valuable that I can't afford to lose even if I sell all my property!"

"We brought you something more valuable today, I wonder if you can help us fix it?" Rogge looked at Klose expectantly, and the giant's eyes bloomed with a kind of excitement when he met the challenge, and said excitedly: "I dare not say surely, but I will definitely go all out!"

"I guess that's beyond doubt. Rogge smiled and nodded back to Antonio, Antonio stopped and took out the white jade staff from the cloth bag and handed it to Klose, the master carefully took them, and said with a look of surprise: "This ...... Isn't this the rod of the previous Holy Emperor's Scepter?"

"Do you know this thing?" Rogge and the others looked at him in surprise, Klose nodded again and again with a look of surprise: "Yes, because my father made it, my father was the best jade craftsman in Khan Castle back then, and he was once called to the imperial capital to make scepter parts for the Holy Emperor, and I still have a design drawing of the finished product at home, I have seen it many times since I was a child!"

"Looks like we've got the right person. Rogge said to Antonio with a smile.

Antonio smiled approvingly, and his hanging heart was half relieved, and he asked Klose: "Do you have a way to fix it? ”

"Nothing special, it just takes some time, if you are not in a hurry, please stay in my house, I will start working on it right away, and it should be repaired within a week." Klose said confidently.

"Thank you then. Antonio shook Klose's hand overjoyed.

"It's my pleasure!" Klose said in a delighted voice.

He was about to take everyone to the reception room to rest, but Rogge said: "Since the matter has been decided, you can stay here for now, everything is up to you and Klose to discuss, I still have some things, I want to go out first, I will come back to you when the matter is over." ”

He patted Klose on the shoulder and said, "Good job, wait for me to come back and get drunk with you!" After saying that, he left in a hurry with a smile, Klose smiled and shrugged his shoulders and said, "This guy is still so without a trace, just leave." ”

He led Antonio and the others to the reception room, and Catherine, who was at the end, glanced back in the direction of Rog's departure, quietly slowed down, and turned around and slipped out of the store while Antonio and Tali were not looking.
