"What was that?" Catherine, who had walked to Rogge's side from behind, stopped uneasily, and looked over Rogge's shoulder to the door of the black hole, but could only see a corridor of yellow masonry near the gate, and nothing else could be seen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Stupid girl, I don't understand this, someone died just now!" the little owl Lilith looked omniscient, and jumped back and forth on Rogge's shoulder with her little head held high, "I guess there must be some terrible monster in there, ugly as a bad wolf!"

Rogge slanted his eyebrows and looked back at the little furball, but the little furball didn't notice his eyes, and continued to say to Catherine: "And that monster must be very stupid, so he will also like to eat stupid girls, so stupid girls should not go in, you stay outside, and I will stay to protect you! With a smart bird like me, the monster will not dare to approach!"

Catherine had already heard the meaning of her words at this time, lowered her head and pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word, and the little furball wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly Roger knocked on the little head with her finger, and she turned back in confusion to hear Rogge say: "Little fool, if you want to stay and guard the horses, then say it directly, Catherine wants to go in with us." ”

"I don't want to stay and watch the big stupid horse!" Hearing this, the little furball shook his little wings and jumped on Catherine's shoulder, shrunk into a ball and pouted, and said, "I want to be with the stupid girl, I will go wherever she goes, and I will protect her!"

"What a disappointing decision!" Rogge shrugged his shoulders in mock regret, turned and walked away from Catherine, and he came to Antonio, Goethe, and Tali and said, "I heard screams from inside, and I guess someone has gone in before us, but they seem to be in trouble." ”

"It's rare that you have good news for us, lone wolf. Goethe took the hood of the golden robe off his head, looked at Rogge gloatingly with the only eye on his golden blindfold, and said, "I hope those dark wizards die in there, and we can save a lot of things." ”

"I don't think so, High Priest. Rogge calmly glanced at the direction of the gate of the temple and said, "William's dark wizards are prepared, if they are easily eliminated, it means that the master here is not a guy to mess with." ”

He glanced at Goethe meaningfully and said, "Don't forget, we're going to follow in the footsteps of the Dark Wizards, and I don't want some of us here to follow in the footsteps of the Dark Wizards." ”

"Don't destroy your might, lone wolf. Goethe gave him a disdainful look and said, "What can there be to make a fuss about in this bare wasteland, don't forget that we are with the two regiments of the Empire, and nothing can stop us!"

"I remember when you first entered the wilderness, you said the same thing to the Spartans. Rogge raised his eyebrows in a strange way, turned around and walked towards the gate with a smile, Goethe glared at him angrily, turned back to Antonio and said, "Captain Antonio, what are you waiting for?"

"When you are ready, my High Priest. Antonio replied tepidly, and Goethe glared at him with his one-eyed eyes, and said loudly, "Let's go, Captain Antonio, let's get the damn stone as soon as possible, and leave this damn place!"

Antonio immediately ordered, the knights lined up in a line of two to follow behind Rogge and Catherine, Antonio and Tali were in the ranks of the knights, the high priest Goethe led the priests to follow the knights, the horses in the future tense were left in the valley, and the procession slowly entered the temple.

The long procession made its way down the yellow masonry corridor, the light getting darker and darker as they went, and Rogge and Catherine, who were in front, were unaffected by their night vision, but the knights who followed behind felt that their eyes were becoming hazy, and Antonio and Tali dispelled the darkness of the corridor in time with the light from their weapons.

After walking for a moment in the silent darkness, Rogge's shout suddenly came from the front: "Stop, stop!"

The Knights immediately stopped moving forward and sent the news to the priesthood in the rear, Antonio and Tali squeezed through the crowd to the front of the group, and saw Catherine standing in place with a silver hammer in her hand, Rog had already carefully stepped forward, Antonio looked at his hazy back and asked Catherine, "What's the matter?"

"There seems to be someone up ahead. Catherine pointed her gun in Rog's direction, and Antonio asked her and Tali to stay here, summoned a holy warhammer in his hand, and came to Rog's side lightly.

"What's wrong?" Antonio stopped behind him, lifted the mask of his silver helmet and looked in front of him, only to see a man in a black cloak leaning against the wall, blood splattered on his body and the ground, and a huge hole in his chest, the blood had dried up.

Rog crouched down in front of the corpse, took the corpse's hand and examined his wrist, and then said to Antonio, "It's the Black Dragon Marker, and sure enough, it's the Dark Wizard of the Shadow Fortress." ”

He pushed the corpse back against the wall, uncovered the wound on his left chest with his hand, looked down at the wound, with a look of surprise on his face, he let go of the corpse and got up and said to Antonio with a solemn expression: "His heart was gouged out." ”

"Who would do that?" Antonio looked down at the dark wizard's corpse in surprise, Rog shook his head and said: "The time of death has been more than twelve hours, the expression on his face is frightened, he was obviously greatly frightened before he died, there are no traces of external injuries and struggles, and the other party obviously easily controlled him." ”

"What a formidable opponent is a dark wizard who can control the Shadow Fortress without much effort?" said Antonio, staring at the corpse at his feet with a grim face.

Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound in the dark corridor, and Rogge and Antonio looked back in unison, and suddenly saw a large group of black bats descending from the sky and pounced on them.

The whistling bat swarm wrapped the two of them and rushed to the two groups, and the knights in the front row hurriedly raised their shields to protect Catherine and Tully, the impact of the bat swarm roared over the heads of the knights, and the bats hitting the surface of the shield made a "bang" crashing sound, and the scene became chaotic for a while.

Catherine, under the cover of the Silver Dragon Knight, loaded the chamber with incendiary bullets, fired several shots at the bats overhead, and the fireballs fired by the silver guns ignited the bats, and the flames drove the bats out of the cave and quickly fled without a trace.

When calm returned to the corridor, Catherine and Tali stood up from under the shield protection of the Silver Dragon Knights, looked around with trepidation, and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the bats had left, and then Catherine suddenly asked uneasily, "Where have Mr. Rogge and Captain Antonio gone?"
