Chapter 10 Planning
The night of ups and downs made Rogge excited, tired, and a little funny.
Everything came so quickly and suddenly, and he didn't have time to think properly. But in fact, he didn't have time to think about what to do with Androni and Floya.
Since the early hours of the morning, Rogge has been sitting behind his large writing desk made of purple and red oak, which is more than 500 years old, and by the time he finishes reviewing the mountains of dossiers, it is almost dusk.
Looking at the sunset outside the floor-to-ceiling window, Rogge rubbed his temples, stretched, and walked out of the office.
Wind Butterfly was curled up on the couch in the doorway, reading intently at the book.
On the wall behind her hangs Lacallas's famous "Angel Descends to Earth", of course, this is a copy, but the level of the imitator is already a master. The sunlight with a hint of crimson in the gold falls on the oil paintings, the satin-covered walls, and the gorgeous wind butterflies, forming a serene and beautiful picture.
In the misty sunlight, the wind butterfly's long blonde hair fluttering slightly was glowing slightly.
She watched so intently that, with her elven sensibility, Rog watched around her for a long time without being noticed.
Rogge didn't want to break this rare serenity, so he just stood there, quietly admiring.
It was getting dark.
Wind Butterfly turned another page, finally closed the book, let out a long breath, stretched her body, and stretched. Only then did she see Rog standing in front of her, and immediately stood up.
"What are you reading?"
Wind Butterfly hesitated for a moment, and finally handed over the book in his hand, and Rogge took it with a smile. As soon as he looked at the cover, his smile immediately froze.
"The Legend of the Minister"!
Rogge took a deep breath, slowly opened the book "The Biography of the Ministers", and after a few glances, he was sure that this was the "Biography of the Ministers" that he could recite word by word!
"Wind Butterfly, where did you find this book?"
"I saw this book in the library of the Grand Duke's Mansion and took it out and flipped through it. ”
Rogge looked at Wind Butterfly's beautiful and innocent little face, and a shadow slowly passed through his heart, and he asked softly, "Wind Butterfly, I mean, there are so many books in the library, why did you choose this one?"
A flash of brilliance flashed in Wind Butterfly's dark blue eyes: "Haven't you been reading this book before, my lord, I want to know more about you, but you are so busy that you don't have time to talk to me, so I think the best thing to do is to read the books you like to read." ”
"And what do you think of the book?"
"It's very interesting! There's a lot of stuff in it that I couldn't have thought of before! I think I could learn a lot. ”
Rogge sighed, put "The Legend of the Minister" back into Feng Die's hand, and said, "Feng Die, you have also read Adjani's letter, you can't go the second way." You are a genius among the elves, and if you want to take revenge, there will be some hope for taking the first path. ”
Wind Butterfly's face darkened: "Adjani...... She's right, I'm a genius among the elves, but my arrogance has pushed me to where I am today. Rogge, it wasn't until I saw Adjani's letter that I realized that I was subconsciously underestimating you. I will never be like this in the future, and I have even begun to worship you. ”
Rogge listened quietly and did not interject.
Wind Butterfly raised her little face and looked at Rogge carefully, her dark blue eyes like jewels lit up again: "But you underestimated the stubbornness of the elves. I will be by your side for the rest of my life, waiting for the opportunity to break the contract and destroy you once and for all. How can a person like you die a good death? You also underestimate the strangeness of women, there are no words that can describe my hatred for you, but women's hatred can easily be transformed into love, just as it is easy to turn love into hate. Perhaps, your best bet is to kill me now, you know, I am powerless and will not resist. ”
Rogge chuckled twice.
The wind butterfly lightly somersaulted, slowly fell, and saluted Rogge in the air: "But you won't kill me." With me by your side at all times, you will keep a vigilant heart! Please wait for the day when the wind butterfly will fall into purgatory with you!"
Rogge let out a long laugh and said, "No problem, I'll wait!"
"Arrogance, what my favorite trait!" thought to Rogge.
After a short break, Rogge returned to his chamber, and after meeting with the principality's ministers of justice, finance, military affairs, and security, it was already in full bloom. Before leaving the Duchy of Are, he must take care of all the aftermath, so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy when he is unable to take charge of the overall situation.
Once again, Adele surprised Rogge. Judging from Helai's report, in just a few days, she found several shortcomings in the public [***] backup system, although there is no fundamental improvement in the public [***] backup, but considering that she has been in contact with this piece for a short time, it is already very difficult. The two low-level officers she was newly preparing to promote were from civilian backgrounds, and they both climbed to the position of officers by relying on the accumulation of military merits bit by bit on the battlefield.
This decision is also unassailable. It seems that the Tikrick family has produced a surprising talent.
Helai's report slowly burned to ashes before Rog's eyes, and his mind had already flown back to the Central Mountains, back to the City of Oracles.
He pondered over every word that Hughes had ever said, especially everything about erosion. His heart suddenly moved, Heinrich followed him to this world, and then he was tricked into the spatial labyrinth, and the large amount of death left behind had long since disappeared cleanly. So, why didn't the silver dragon leave, but instead made a nest not far from the City of Oracles?
What is it really looking for? Could it be that it faintly feels the erosion of its possession, so it can't linger? Rogge suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!
He once again went through the plan that had been fixed in his mind from beginning to end, looking for even the slightest flaw in it.
The murderous aura in his face woke Rog from his musings, and Androni was standing in front of him with a frosty face.
Rogge glanced at her eyes full of anger and calmly asked, "Annie, why is there so much anger?"
"I will not allow ......" Androni squeezed out of her silver fangs word by word, "I will not allow you to move a finger of Floya again!
Rogge changed his position and sat down more comfortably. A small, but very beautiful, magic scroll slipped silently from his sleeve and into the palm of his hand.
"Annie, you can't blame me, can she? she took the initiative last night. Look at you, your persuasion last night didn't help! That's why you're here to scare me, aren't you?"
Androni's momentum immediately weakened a little: "She is very stubborn! But she doesn't love you, and you don't love her! Your marriage will never be happy!"
Rogge smiled and asked rhetorically, "Do we need love in our marriage?"
Androni was speechless for a moment, but then added, "But she ...... She is no longer a princess! her country is about to perish, her family will lose its status and power, in a word, she has no use value. Do you need this kind of marriage?"
"She's a good magician, and she's smart and vicious. I needed help, and so did she. This marriage, you can think of it as an alliance between us. Besides, she's still a big beauty, and I have nothing to complain about. ”
Androni propped herself on Rogge's table with one hand, leaned forward, stared at Rogge and said angrily, "But she will never be happy!
Rogge asked rhetorically, "Then can you give her happiness? I'm afraid not! If you can't, why stop us? She always has to find a man, and it's better to be cheaper than to be cheaper than to be cheaper." ”
The starry sky was already on Rogge's neck, and Androni's voice was almost crying: "Even if I beg you! Let her go! You don't know, since she was a child, all she saw from her relatives was betrayal and greed for her beauty! You don't know how bitter she is in her heart, don't hurt her anymore, okay?"
Rogge gently swept down the blue starry sky: "With a sword around her neck, is this a begging for someone? Hmph, the person who betrayed her...... Aren't you one of them? Anyway, her offer is to my liking, so I have no reason why I shouldn't say yes. Anne, I'm not interested in your love at all, and if you want me to change my mind, you'll have to make things that make me even more tempting! Don't forget, if you kill me, do you want to see that skull dragon again? I'm afraid you'll never find the man you're looking for again, right?"
Androni was struck by the key and froze for a moment.
Rogge stood up and prepared to go out. There was an important shipment that had already arrived in Dresden from the capital of the Duchy of Leighton, and he needed to check it out.
When passing by Androni's side, he said lightly: "Anne, last night you suddenly rushed in and took Floya away, interrupting my good deed, forget it this time." But I don't want that to happen again. You should know that blocking is useless. You can block it once, but you can't stop it a second time. ”
"Wait!" Andronie grabbed Rogge, gritted her teeth, and said in a low voice, "You guys have been so long last night...... It hasn't worked out for so long...... You should know that she's the same person as I am! Do you know what has become of her since I took her away? You torture her!"
Rogge smiled: "But for me, it's a rare pleasure! Man is a wonderful creature, and nothing cannot be overcome. Princess Floya is a charming city, I said, it is better to cheapen me than to be cheaper than other men!"
Androni bit her lower lip, her face turned pale, and suddenly said: "If all you want is a good helper and a beautiful woman who can go to chuang, then it's better to replace me! Don't touch her! I'm not bad in any way, so I won't make you look down!"
Rogge groaned, patted Androni's face lightly, looked at her and endured the physical discomfort, and said, "Isn't it much easier for you to kill me directly? Well, I see, are you afraid that if you kill me, you will never see your sweetheart again? What a great sacrifice, what a strange thing, is the magic of love so great?"
Androni raised her head, stared at Rogge and said, "Why did you leave everything behind for that demon princess and flee to the north?"
This time, it was Rogge's turn to turn pale.
He was silent for a while before he said, "I'll give you some time, you can try to persuade her!"
Androni looked at Rogge's back with mixed feelings, and suddenly shouted, "Thank you!"
On the road leading to the Oracle City, an elven knight was galloping frantically, not caring for the life or death of his horse. After a long day of galloping, he finally stepped into Elder Hughes's room before dayfall. After handing over Rogge's secret letter to Theseus, he collapsed completely.
After reading Rogge's letter, Xius thought for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly and said to himself: "This Rogge, come to take revenge on me so soon." This thing, this thing, alas...... It seems that only my old man has gone on a trip himself!"
Hughes rubbed his hand, and the secret letter immediately turned to ashes. He returned to time, took out a very old and ordinary suitcase, rubbed it gently for a moment, and sighed softly again.
Hughes came out of the room and commanded the elven guard at the door, "I'm going out for a few days." If God sends your lord back, let him wait for me. ”
At this moment, Rogge has handed over the affairs of the Duchy of Arei to Helai and Adele, and he is on his way back to the City of Oracles with the most elite Fifty Moon Darkface Knights, as well as Androni and Floya.
In the procession, there was a very conspicuous heavy carriage, the carriage was painted with countless magic marks, and the magician could tell at a glance that it was engraved with a sealed magic array.
The carriage walked slowly and carefully. It was a road that could be reached in one night by galloping on a light horse, and Rogge walked for four days.
In the council hall on the top floor of the House of Elders, all the elven elders were listening intently to Rogge's plan, except for Xiusi, who looked helpless, all the elders couldn't help but show a shocked look!
They couldn't believe that this time Rogge used the power of the elves to raise the clan, and the butcher's knife turned out to be the elven clan's allies since ancient times:
Sacred Silver Dragon!
On the conference table in the center is a magic circle, and above the magic circle is the phantom of a very steep mountain peak. There is a huge cave at the top of the peak, which is the dwelling place that the silver dragon has chosen for himself. With a little adjustment, this magic array can clearly display the internal terrain of the Silver Dragon Cave according to Rogge's idea.
Suitability has explained in detail the terrain of the entire Silver Dragon Cave, the surrounding environment, and the surname of the Silver Dragon. He even explained the composition of the rocks that make up the cave and the underground water source.
It's just that Xiusi's face turned pale, and he was about to cough when he said a few words, obviously this trip to the Silver Dragon Cave was not easy.
Rogge looked at the elven elders, and finally said: "Elders, this is the plan! Now that the silver dragon has just laid a dragon egg, its power has been greatly weakened, this is a golden opportunity! It is Shiloh's gift to us! If you have no objection, then we will make all preparations today and tomorrow, and set off early the day after tomorrow!"
The elders looked at each other, and the impact was too great. But now that Rogge is in power, he can actually ignore the opinions of these people. The reason for such a meeting was that one was to show respect, and the other was that three of the six elven elders present were magicians. In Rogge's plan, the magician is the most important part.
As a divine envoy, Rogge must be called Shiloh in his words, and he also suppressed the elders from speaking. His plan was crazy and daring, and it seemed that it had a chance of success. However, what is the benefit of attacking the silver dragon like this, Rogge refused to say a word.
In the cold morning breeze and the fallen leaves of the ancient elven trees, Rog led the elven dragon-slaying troops out of the Oracle City.
The team is not large, just over a hundred people.
Dealing with a super powerful creature like the silver dragon, whether it is an elf or a human army, no matter how many ordinary soldiers go, they will only be sent to death. So what Rogge brought with him this time were the strongest among the elves, and there were only two humans among them, Androni and Floya. Originally, Frey would also be a good helper, but if he took the druid to kill the silver dragon, it was very likely that he would defect. Elves are different, although the silver dragon is their traditional ally, the alliance is not strong, and Rog is an oracle, compared to it, it is clear that Shiloh's will is more important to the elves.
After a day and a night of marching, the team finally came to the foot of the snowy peak where the silver dragon lived.
It's late at night.
Rog looked up at the steep snowy peak, lowered his voice and asked Hughes, "Old thing, are you sure it's time for it to sleep?"
Xiusi also said in a low voice: "Young people should be a little polite! The silver dragon sleeps for five or six days, and my old man has already calculated it clearly, now should be the time when it sleeps the deepest! Even if it is awakened, the vigilance will not be too high for a while." This is the information that my old man fought hard to get in exchange for an old bone!"
Rogge snorted and said, "Old thing, don't come with me for this set! Will you fall off the snow peak? If you can deceive others, don't try to deceive me! You take a good look at the more than 100 elves behind you, this is the elite of the whole clan! If you feel sorry for your elves, it's best not to pretend to be stupid in a while!"
Xius smiled: "You have made such a bad plan, aren't you afraid that the elves will hurt a lot? Now that the elves are all regarded as private property by you, your love is no less than that of my old man, hehe! By the way, young man, what is in your big box? Even my old man can't see through the seal outside." ”
Rogge looked at the old fox a little helplessly, and said coldly: "Don't you know it in a while? If you want to say that you don't know what's inside, I won't believe it." Killer, hey, what high-level killer isn't a high-level thief?"
"A killer is a noble, elegant profession, a king in the dark! How can a thief compare ...... a killer?" said Hughes. But Rogge no longer paid attention to his verbosity, and went straight to rethink all the details of the plan in his mind, and finally made up his mind, and shouted to the team behind him: "According to the original plan, let's go!"
Androni had a faint divine aura on her body, and she slowly climbed towards the snowy peak. The divine aura she exuded was like a thick mist, condensed but not dispersed, faintly enveloping the entire mountain road.
Androni was followed by more than a dozen elven girls. They are obviously not very old, and there is a bit of innocence and naughtiness in their charming big eyes. They had obviously not yet experienced the horror of the silver dragon, and they were excitedly climbing all the way up. Although the martial arts of these elf girls are not weak, they are still far from the real powerhouses. Even an ordinary warrior on the dark side of the moon can deal with seven or eight of these elves.
With a snort, Rogge lifted the huge, heavy-looking iron box from the carriage. All the magic symbols on the iron box lit up, faintly shining with silver light, and between light and darkness, echoing Rogge's silver eyes.
The dark, tyrannical, and bloodthirsty aura that emanated from the iron box disappeared in a moment.
Since being erased by Hughes, Rogge no longer plays in front of this old fox to hide his strength.
Rog slung the iron box on his back, jumped to his feet, landed among the elven girls, and followed them up the snowy peak.
Wind Butterfly led the elven army to the top of the mountain. Only Floya was a little distracted, she looked at Androni's beautiful and vigorous back, and she seemed to be a little stupid.
"Little girl, why haven't you gone up yet?, is there something on your mind?" Flora was awakened from her musings by the voice of Theseus.
Floya turned her head to look at Theseus. Xius has the elegance and impeccable bearing of a typical elven sage, even if he stands at will, he also has a faint sense of being out of the dust.
Floya suddenly smiled charmingly and said, "Yes, people are very preoccupied, and they think about how to seduce my husband Rogge every day! If I can come back alive this time, you are the elder of the elf clan, and you will have to give me more ideas in the future! People are stupid, and they really don't know how to seduce men!" After that, Floya also followed the elf troops to climb to the peak.
"Alas," said Theseus, looking at Floya's beautiful figure, and sighed, "what a good boy, too! Why can't you even think so?"
