Chapter 461: The Poisonous Fox in the Misty Alley
"What's going on?" Antonio asked Rog as he got up and walked behind him, staring down at Joseph sitting on the ground.
"Remember this?" Rogge handed the note to Antonio, and the Knight Captain took it and glanced at it, then looked back after a little thought and asked, "The one who said it was at that Blackheart Tavern in Blackhardt?"
"I think it must be him. Rogge nodded affirmatively and said, "The chef just told me that he saw the person he traded with had a black dragon tattoo on his wrist, which is the logo of the Shadow Fortress, and only the people of the Shadow Fortress will have a black dragon tattoo on his body." ”
"Damn Ivan," Antonio said with gritted teeth in frustration, "and the death of a man and leaving so many remnants in the territory of Errus is truly haunting. ”
"It's okay, it's our job to clean up these ghosts, and I'll leave the matter to you, Captain, I'm going to see if Ivan's students are more difficult to deal with than his teachers. Rogge took the note from Antonio's hand, turned and left the hall with Catherine.
On the way out of the inner castle to the apothecary's house, Catherine asked Rogge: "I have a question, I remember when we came out of Victoria's house, you told me that Victoria's family was well-off and there was no need to come out as a servant, but just now you said that this is the reason why she is not a murderer, I don't understand. ”
"Silly girl," Rogge said with a smile and a puzzled look on her face, "I didn't say that Victoria's family is well-off so there is no need to come out to be a servant, I just said that the conditions in her family are very good, and the last half of the sentence is your own words." ”
"This ......," Catherine was stunned for a moment, and continued to ask, "But this is indeed a suspicion in her, isn't it?"
"Whether it is suspicious or not should be analyzed by the person's character. Rogge lit his pipe and strode forward as he smoked it, saying, "Victoria is a girl of strong character, and the fact that she has been suspected and wronged several times has not made her cower or run away from it, shows that she has courage and ideas in her heart." ”
"Just like you," Rogge turned back to Catherine and smiled, the girl smiled shyly, and heard him continue: "A girl like you, even if the family is rich, is still willing to find something to do on her own, not to mention that Victoria's family is not very rich, she naturally does not want to eat her parents' hard-earned money at home." ”
"On the other hand, the marquis and his wife are generally more kind to their domestic servants, and they are able to tolerate people like Joseph, and it is very normal for Victoria to mention their goodness, and with such a good parental master, Victoria is naturally willing to do things in the marquis's palace, which is not doubtful. ”
After listening to Rogge's words, Catherine nodded thoughtfully and said to Rogge: "I understand, you can't just look at the surface of things, you have to analyze them from the inside out, I will pay attention to it in the future, and I won't be deceived by you again!"
"Where did I lie to you?" Rogge said with an innocent look on his face.
"It's clear that you deliberately lured me over!" Catherine pouted, "Lilith and Monica can testify!"
"They weren't there at the time, how can they testify?" asked Rogge, looking at her with a slanted eyebrow.
"We can testify that the stupid girl is right, and the bad wolf is the big liar!" shouted the little furball as it flew up Catherine's shoulder, and shouted along with the little flower spirit who was sitting on Catherine's other shoulder.
"How's it going?" asked Catherine, smiling triumphantly.
"Ahem," Rogge shrugged helplessly, cleared his throat and said, "This is not a problem that can be solved by reasoning, given that you just said that I led you over, then I think I will carry you over directly now!"
He leaned over and grabbed Catherine's legs with one hand and put the other around her shoulders, and picked her up directly from the ground, Catherine screamed, and he trotted into the alley ahead.
Walking through a few deserted alleys, Rogge put Catherine down, and at the same time grabbed the little furball and threw it on Catherine's body and said: "It's really a little Laipi, obviously he can fly but he depends on me, and the four of them rely on me to run forward, is this using me as a carriage?"
"It's a donkey cart!" said the little furball, which folded its wings on Catherine's shoulders, and stared up at Rog's ears with its little head up, "Long ears bad wolf, quickly expose your donkey ears!"
"Close your little beak. Rogge glared at the little furball, beckoned to Catherine and led her to the door of a house, Rogge stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a moment later a cautious voice came from inside: "Who?"
"Hello, is this Twenty-Four Misty Lane?" Rogge asked aloud with a pretentious wink at Catherine.
"No, this is the twenty-two, go ahead!" the other party shouted at them, Rogge thanked but the other party did not respond, he turned and crouched on the ground in front of the door, the tip of his right index finger showed a sharp wolf claw, and drew a big X on the ground.
"Let's go. Rogge beckoned to Catherine, and the two crept to the end of the alley, where Rogge said to Catherine, "It seems that we have found them, but we don't know the details of them yet, so let's go in and have a look, and keep quiet, I don't want them to be scattered." ”
He asked Lilith to shrink him and Catherine and fly them into the second-floor balcony of the house marked with an X on the floor of the doorway, where the little furball landed and lowered them down, turning them back into their original form.
Rogge tiptoed to the balcony door, put his ear on the door and listened for a while, saw that there was no sound inside, so he carefully pushed the door in, the bedroom on the second floor was empty, the two entered the room one after the other, and found that there were many different colors of medicinal powder on the cabinet in the room.
Rogge opened the jar of several powders and asked Monica to examine the ingredients, and came to the conclusion that the powders were all rare poisons, and some were mixed poisons with multiple poisons, each of which was very deadly, although the effects varied.
"Looks like we've come to the right place. Rog and Catherine exchanged glances, put the jar back in its place, and led her to the door of the bedroom, where he quietly opened the door and looked out, and found a dark corridor at the end of the staircase, at the end of which was a faint sound of talking.
He led Catherine through the corridor to the railing at the staircase, looked through the gap in the railing into the living room below, and saw a white man in a purple robe sitting on the sofa in the center of the living room, and a dozen burly men standing in front of him, reporting to the man.
"Looks like they're doing a good business. Rogge whispered to Catherine beside him, "These guys are all his subordinates, and each of them is responsible for the sale of medicinal powder in a village and town in the territory of Checheng, and I don't know how many blackheart taverns have bought those damn poisons from them and sent those diners to hell." ”
"What shall we do?" asked Catherine, holding the handle of the silver hammer at her waist.
"Don't worry, let's see. Rogge motioned for her to let go of the silver gun, turned his eyes back to the living room, and heard the man in the robe suddenly speak, "Is there still no news from Mosco City?
"I've sent someone to Mosco City to inquire, but I'm afraid it will take some time to get back. One of his men replied.
"Eighty percent of the time something happened," said the man in the robe, rubbing his smooth chin with his hand, "I tried to contact the teacher with my mind, but I couldn't sense him at all, which has never happened before." ”
"Do you want me to go myself?" asked the man with a courteous bow.
"No, you have to focus on the affairs of the Marquis's Palace," the robed man waved his hand lightly, "What is holding them back after the Deiz have not attacked the city for so long?"
"I heard that the head of the Knights of the Silver Dragon Wings, Antonio, is here, and it is he who has thwarted King Deiz's revenge. The subordinate hurriedly stepped forward and replied.
"Antonio......" The robed man frowned and said, "Is it just his word that King Deiz will not avenge his son?"
"I got the news that Antonio had brought a Sir named Langaro who was investigating the murderer of the poisoning, and King De Iz had given him a few days to attack the city if it could not be found within that time. ”
"Hmph," the robed man sneered after hearing this, and said, "Let them investigate, even if this case is given to them for a month, don't think about finding out anything, we just have to wait, sooner or later the Deiz and the Errus will meet each other, and the show is not afraid of being late." ”
"What if your good show never happens?"
This sudden sound startled everyone in the living room, and the man in the robe looked up sharply to see a man in a black wide-brimmed hat and a black cloak standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor, and beside him stood a blonde woman in white clothes and white pants.
"Who are you?" asked the man in the robe, rising from the couch and staring at them.
"Sir Lower Langaro, knight of Queen Italy," said Rogge, smiling and smoking his pipe, "if you were to ask me my real name, my name would be Rogge, nicknamed 'Lone Wolf.'" ”
"You're a lone wolf!" The robed man subconsciously took a step back, and heard Rogge laugh: "That's right, 'Poisonous Fox' Fawkes, I brought you news from your teacher Ivan, he has already ridden his poisonous griffin to Hell to report for duty, he asked me to come to you and send you to see him too." ”
"Damn!" Fox, nicknamed "Poison Fox", gritted his teeth and shouted, pointing at Rogge and Catherine, "Kill them!"
The strong men in the living room turned around and rushed to the stairs, but Rogge flew down from the second floor and rushed straight to the man in the robe, several strong men stopped in front of Rogge, and punched Rogge's front door, Rogge waved his right hand and five steel claws suddenly stretched out from his fingertips, only to hear a scream, and one arm was poked five blood holes by wolf claws.
The rest of the strong men drew their knives and slashed at Rogge, the small hairball on Rogge's hat stared, and fixed a strong man in place, Rogge dragged him to the front of him, and the knives in the hands of several strong men looked at the strong man's body at the same time, Rogge kicked on the butt of the human shield, knocking the rest of the strong men to the ground.
He stepped over a few people and rushed to Fawkes standing in the corner, Fawkes saw him menacing, looked up in the direction of the second floor and wanted to greet his subordinates, but saw that the strong men who were blocked on the stairs by the poison ivy released by Monica, the little flower spirit, were knocked to the ground one by one by the silver guns in Catherine's hand, tumbling down the stairs and falling down the stairs and piling up at the staircase.
"A bunch of useless waste!" Fawkes pulled out a small porcelain bottle from his body and slammed it at his feet, as he teleported through the wall, and a blue dust mist rose into the air and spread rapidly throughout the room, drowning Rogge and Catherine in a pungent poisonous mist.
