"No, this can't be true!" Tully couldn't help but exclaimed. Antonio looked at her calmly and said: "I also hope this isn't true, but the rangers do do this. It's a personal relationship for them. Above all else!”

He raised his head and looked at Murphy with inquiring eyes. The adventurer stared into his eyes quietly, remaining indifferent to the words of the knight leader.

"No matter what, we can only know the truth now if we find Rogge!" Antonio stood up and asked Douglas: "In which direction did they run?"

The deputy leader pointed to the west of the jungle: "That's that direction. He is with the girl in silver-white clothes."

"Send someone to transport the body of the deceased back to the Mage Tower. Others follow me, we must catch up with Rogge!" Antonio gave an order, and the knights immediately dispatched to chase Rogge and Catherine in the direction where they escaped.

They soon caught up to the deep ravine. Antonio led the people to the edge of the cliff and looked around the silent and uninhabited ravine. There were no footprints extending to the left or right on the snow on the edge of the cliff, only a tree twisted into a rope. The vines were tied to the trunk and extended to the bottom of the cliff.

Antonio looked down the cliff. There was silence in the deep ravine under the cliff. There were messy footprints where the tree vines fell. They extended along the snow at the bottom of the ravine to the boulder where the man in black robe fell. But there, at this time There were no bodies left.

Antonio's eyes were fixed there, and he turned back to Douglas and said, "Send someone there to have a look!"

The deputy captain immediately led people onto the gryphon and led a large number of knights down to the bottom of the valley. Antonio, Tully, and Murphy led the remaining knights on the cliff to watch vigilantly what was happening below the ravine.

Douglas led people to follow the footprints in the snow to the vicinity of the boulder, and found that the footprints were interrupted here. He had people search all the places nearby that could hide people, but found nothing, so he had to send someone to report back to Antonio.

"Did this guy fly over?" Antonio glanced at the snowy and misty jungle on the other side of the deep ravine in surprise, and said to himself doubtfully: "But what about the footprints below? Is there anything below that is worthy of his study? Something?”

He raised the question in his mind to Douglas. The deputy commander shook his head repeatedly and said: "Captain, I don't think there is anything noteworthy down there. We have searched every inch of the land and there is not even a ghost. I would rather believe it." This is Rogge’s trick!”

"No matter what, we can only move forward through this ravine!" Antonio turned around and ordered loudly: "The Knights set off and continue to search for traces of Rogge!"

Antonio didn't know that just as he was leading people through the jungle, in a hole covered by trees beside the path, Roger sat up, rubbing his painful neck, and glanced helplessly at Catherine, who was also dizzy.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I..." The girl noticed his expression and bit her lip uneasily.

Rogge silently raised his head and glanced at the hole above. It was four or five meters above the ground, and the hole was so narrow that it was more difficult to climb up than to reach the sky.

"Now do you know the disadvantages of having a stupid girl by your side?" The little owl landed on top of Catherine's head and asked Roger with a look of gloating.

Rogge turned to Catherine, and the girl lowered her head in embarrassment. Thinking that she had slipped unsteadily into the pit and dragged Rogge down, she couldn't help but feel apologetic.

"Forget it, who hasn't messed up when they were a rookie? You've already done a good job!"

Rogge stood up from the ground, turned around and pinched his waist, staring at the dark and dark cave behind him and said, "Actually, we are quite lucky. At least there is a way to go here."

"You are not a lone wolf at all, you are clearly a pervert!" The little owl flapped its wings in dissatisfaction, jumping above Catherine's head and shouting: "It favors beautiful girls, does not distinguish between right and wrong, values sex over friends, and treats others unfairly! "

"You're right, little darling, that's why you keep getting into trouble and I never punish you, you beautiful little bird!" Roger smiled when he heard her words and put his hand to his lips. Bian blew a kiss to Catherine and Lilith.

Roger's actions made Catherine's cheeks flush. Although she tried to tell herself in her heart that the blowing kiss belonged to the little bird above her head, the tenderness of the smile in Roger's eyes still made her cheeks feel hot.

"Hey, don't be sentimental. That kiss belongs to the beautiful bird. You silly girl, don't try to steal it from me!"

Lilith patted Catherine's head with her little wings. The awakened girl looked up at her and watched the little owl flap its wings and fly to Rogge's shoulder.

"Don't think that you can stop my fair and strict mouth by saying a few nice words to please me!" The little owl said in Rogge's ear with a proud look on his face: "It's just that I am a broad-minded little bird. I don’t want to argue with the stupid girl!”

"Yes, yes, everything you said is right, my little jungle princess!" Rogge held back a smile and looked back at Catherine, waved to her, turned and walked into the dark cave.

"The current situation is so wonderful. Not only did we not catch the real culprit, we became suspects and fell into this hole that we don't know where it leads to!" Rogge said with a self-deprecating smile as he walked.

"What should we do now?" Catherine, who followed from behind, asked uneasily.

"Let nature take its course," Rogge looked back at her blushing cheeks and reassured her confidently: "Don't be afraid, I have seen many things more terrifying than the Silver Dragon Wings Knights!"

"Mr. Rogge, why are we hiding? Why don't we hand over the body to the Knights? That way we can eliminate our suspicions and work with them to track down the escaped man in black." Catherine asked hesitantly. .

"The so-called murder suspicion is actually irrelevant." Rogge answered nonchalantly while looking up at the walls surrounded by roots.

"Anyway, I'm already a wanted criminal. I don't want to get any understanding, let alone cooperate with the Knights. Acting independently can make my mind clearer and avoid unnecessary interference."

"Interference? Are you worried that they will be unhelpful?" Catherine looked at Rogge with a confused look and asked.

"Idiot, was your head hollowed out by the groundhog when you just fell? He was basically suspecting that the Knights, the Mage Tower, and the black-robed villain were all in the same group!" Lily, the little owl, was lying on Roger's hat. Si mocked menacingly.

"Should I feed you?" Rogge took out a small piece of magic dry food from his body and stuffed it into the little owl's mouth.

Lilith raised her head proudly and muttered: "Don't think that bribing me with food can silence me who knows everything!" After speaking, she pecked all the dry food in Rogge's hand into her mouth.

While Lilith's mouth was blocked by dry food, Rogge turned back to Catherine and said: "What Lilith said is not entirely wrong. There are moles in the Mermaid Tribe and the Mage Tower. There may not be moles in Antonio's Knights. "

He paused for a moment and continued: "Otherwise, why did the people from the Knights suddenly appear nearby just when we were checking Alice's body? Moreover, their white cloaks and the white fluff in Alice's fingernails just happened to be so coincidental. How similar?"

"Do you suspect that the person who killed Alice was someone from the Knights?" Catherine asked in surprise.

Rogge nodded slightly and said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out, but we have no evidence now. We can't accuse anyone just by relying on that bunch of white fluff. The most appropriate way is to hide in the dark and observe. Maybe we can find more conclusive evidence." evidence."

"You really think far and far!" Catherine praised with an admiring smile.

Lilith interjected unconvinced: "He is clearly cunning, cunning, scheming, and cunning..."

Before she finished speaking, Rogge raised his hand and covered her little mouth with dry food: "You can't even stop eating, you little rascal!"

Seeing this, Catherine lowered her head and hid her mouth and snickered. Suddenly, a thick monster roar came from the deep cave in front of her, and the smile on Catherine's face froze instantly.

"Then, what is that?" She raised her head nervously and asked uneasily.
