Chapter 739: The Murder Night of the Inn
Before Rogge could answer the strong man's provocation, another strong man suddenly approached Catherine from behind, grabbed her shoulder with one hand, and pressed the other hand directly on her chest. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Catherine raised her eyebrows, reached out and grabbed the man's arm on her shoulder, threw him to the ground with a loud shout, and then kicked him in the chest, the man broke several ribs with a scream, and fell to the ground wailing.
Without waiting for the others to react, Catherine threw a fist and broke the bridge of the nose of the other strong man closest to her, and fell to the ground on her back, and the other strong man rushed up from behind, reaching out to hold her by the waist, and Catherine was caught off guard by a roundabout kick that hit him in the temple.
The other two strong men pounced forward from the left and right sides, and hit Catherine with both fists, and Monica released two rattan sticks to wrap around the fists swung by the two, and the rattan was suddenly tightened, and the fists of the two were immediately pulled to the center and tied together, only to hear two "clicks", and their arms were broken under Catherine's hand knife at the same time.
Kicking the two to the ground, Catherine looked up coldly at the last strong man, who had a wisp of cold sweat under the corner of his sideburns, hurriedly pulled out a short knife from his waist, and slashed at Catherine, but Catherine jumped over his head.
Catherine snatched the short knife from his hand, turned around and stabbed down, only to hear a scream, and the palm of the hand that had just touched Catherine's chest was nailed to the ground by a sharp knife.
Letting go of the short knife that pierced the man's palm, Catherine glanced coldly at the strong men who were struggling to run away, and looked back in the direction of Rogge, only to see that he was still standing quietly in place, his hand pressed on the strong man's hand that grabbed his shoulder with his hand.
"It's not interesting," noticing her gaze, Rogge turned around and shrugged his shoulders regretfully at her and said, "Don't even give a hero a chance to save beauty, is it really good for a girl to be so capable?"
"Stupid girl is not a bird, only I can be a human!" the little furball jumped off his hat and rubbed his little furry body against Rog's neck.
"You little bad bird, don't rub your hair all over my neck!" Rogge twisted his neck and pushed her away with a pretended disgust, turned around and looked at the sweaty strong man next to him with a surprised face and said, "Hey, why haven't you taken your hand away yet, do you still want me to help you?"
The man was frightened and anxious and desperately withdrew his hand, but the hand that Rogge pressed on his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, so that not only could he not withdraw his hand, but even half of his body could not move, and he was speechless in a cold sweat.
"Ah, in that case, I'll do you a favor," Rogge grabbed his hand and lifted it lightly, shoved him casually, and watched as the man staggered back a few steps, tripped and fell to the ground by the man behind him.
"Don't thank me, I'm such a warm-hearted man!" Rogge said with a smile on his face
He and Catherine walked into the store unhurriedly under the gaze of the onlookers, and when they came to the counter, they saw a man with a full face sitting behind the counter, and he smiled and said to the man, "How much is two rooms a day?"
The man glanced at him coldly, stretched out two fingers, and asked with a little thought, "Two gold coins?"
"Twenty gold coins!" replied the man with a sneer.
"Ah, it's a black shop!" Rogge said to Catherine, frowning.
After saying that, he pulled the little furball from his head and shook it on the counter, and said as he shook it, "Fortunately, I have the little bad bird as a cash cow, so take out the gold you got from Grady and pay for the room!"
The little furball wrapped itself around its two little wings, shrunk itself into a ball, and shouted, "No, don't hit my money!"
"I don't care, you're the richest of us anyway, and you're the only one to pay the bills. Rogge continued to shake her regardless of it, and the little furball was dizzy by his shaking, and he had no choice but to shout: "Don't shake the bad wolf, can't I pay it, it's really annoying!"
Rogge let go of his hand and put her on the counter, the little furball turned over and got up in a daze, staggered to his feet, slowly recited a spell, turned into a little Lori and sat on the counter, carefully took out the small money bag from his body, looked up at Rogge reluctantly, and began to take the gold coins from the inside.
"One, two, three......" Lilith counted the shrunken gold coins on the counter in distress, "Eighteen, nineteen ......" When it came to the last one, she hesitated to hold the money bag and struggled for a long time, and finally had to put the last coin on the table under Rogge's gaze.
When she chanted a spell to restore the money on the table to normal gold coins, she hurriedly put away the small money bag, looked up and pouted at Rogge, who looked at her for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said, "Just twenty?
"I'm sleeping on the bed with the stupid girl, and the big bad wolf sleeps on the floor!" said Lori through gritted teeth.
Rogge pouted and stared at her, Xiao Lori pouted and looked resolute, as if she asked her again for a copper plate, she would have to fight with someone, Rogge had to smile and shrug his shoulders, picked up the gold coins on the table and handed them to the boss and said, "Okay, let's book a room first, this is a day's room price, tomorrow tomorrow." ”
After getting the room key, Rog and Catherine went up to the second floor of the inn with Monica and the puffy little furball, and after finding their room, Rog told the girls to rest first, and walked around the hallway by themselves to see if they could ask the guests about the Lord of Sin, Merair.
Rogge had been gone for hours, and when he returned to his room, it was already dusk, and Catherine, who was anxious, hurriedly asked him how things were going, and Rogge sat down at the table and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Nothing special has progressed, but I have learned something about our three neighbors." ”
"Neighbors?" Catherine sat down across from him curiously, Rogge smiled and nodded, poured some bitter water from the old kettle on the table, took a sip and said, "Yes, it's the three people who live next door to us, they are all human traffickers, and the three of them work together to travel back and forth between the human kingdom and the cursed land once every two months." ”
"What did they tell you?" Catherine looked at him expectantly, Rogge put down his glass and shook his head with a smile, "Nothing useful, they seem to be very alert, and they don't talk about anything related to Merair, and one of them looks like he doesn't like to answer, and just gives me a shut-in." ”
He took out a cigar and lit it, brought it to his lips and continued: "The other two, one of them is more cautious in his speech, but he has always tried to trick me, and the other has been asking me about you. ”
"Me?" Catherine's eyes widened in surprise, and Rogge glanced at her surprised expression and smiled: "That's right, when you knocked down the group of hooligans at the door, he was watching from the scene, I guess he would like to hire you as a bodyguard and lover or something, after all, a beautiful girl like you who can fight can take it out is more face-saving!"
Catherine smiled a little embarrassedly, looked down for a while, and then asked, "So what do we do next?"
"Maybe tomorrow we should go to the local guards and ask them about the ruling lord of the city, Merrell himself is hiding behind the scenes, someone must take care of the affairs in front of the table for him, maybe that guy is our breakthrough. Rogge said confidently.
Catherine nodded slightly in agreement, and suddenly heard the little furball lying on the table ask dissatisfiedly: "Bad wolf, why hasn't anyone brought dinner yet, I spent so much money, I need to have a good meal at night!"
"Ah, I asked the boss for you when I came back just now!" Rogge smiled and lowered his head in front of the little hairball and said: "The boss said, our store doesn't care about dinner, but you can spend your own money to buy it in the kitchen, no matter what the dish, ten gold coins a piece, whether you like to eat it or not!"
After hearing this, the little furball's two big eyes were about to fall out, and she stared at Rogge for a long time with straight eyes, and then said: "Ten gold coins are enough for me to eat turkey for a year! I won't give it to him! I won't give it if I don't eat tonight!"
"I'm sure you'll think the same way," Rogge said to Catherine with a wicked grin, sitting up straight without surprise, "So the little bad bird won't have dinner tonight, and he should lose weight!"
Little Furball hesitated for a moment, looked at him and Catherine a little unwillingly, and said, "No, why should I be hungry at night, isn't there a lamp god and Monica?
"Hey, I thought I could fool me!" Rogge smiled helplessly at Catherine, Catherine couldn't help but summon the lamp god, the lamp god and the little flower spirit prepared a table of food for them, the little furball couldn't wait to grab a lot of his favorite food, and gobbled it into his mouth in front of him.
After dinner, Rogge gave up the bed to Catherine and Lilith, and half-lay down in his chair thinking about his plans for tomorrow, as time passed, the clock struck midnight for the first time, and Rog, who felt a little sleepy, leaned his head on his shoulder and entered a half-asleep state.
Suddenly, a scream broke the silence of the night, Rogge sat up suddenly, Catherine who was lying on the bed also sat up suddenly, and the little Lori lying next to her nervously held her arm and looked up and asked, "Bad wolf, what's wrong?"
"You stay here and don't move, I'll go out and have a look. Rogge got up and walked out of the room cautiously, walking in the direction of the sound just now, and at this moment the doors of the two traffickers next door also opened, and the bodyguards of the two traffickers poked their heads out of it and stared at Rogge with vigilant eyes.
Ignoring their gaze, Rogge went to the room where the sound was coming from, put his ear to the door and listened to the movement inside, faintly heard a frightened cry from inside, but then there was a wail, Rogge took a step back and slammed the door open, and then what appeared in his eyes made him feel a creep in the face of strong winds and waves.
The candles were flickering in the dimly lit room, the walls and floors were covered with blood, and there were three people lying on the floor, one of whose bodies had been dismantled, and the other two were lying on the ground covered in blood, their clothes soaked with blood.
Before Rogge could recover from the shock, a dark figure suddenly jumped up from the side of the bed, flew out through the open window, and it was in this flash of a second that Rogge was surprised to see that the human-like monster had four arms and two heads!
