"Captain Antonio, why do you want to protect this witch? Have you forgotten the oracle of His Majesty the Holy Emperor?"

The high priest Goethe stood at the top of the steps, staring at Antonio at the bottom with a cold expression, and there was a hint of hatred in his tone.

"Of course I haven't forgotten it, but the witches mentioned in His Majesty's oracle are not from a race other than humans. Mermaids and elven wizards are not evil forces. Miss Tully is a high priest of Poseidon. How can she be compared with witches?"

Antonio's stern defense failed to make the high priest give in at all. He let out a dark sneer from the corner of his smooth mouth and asked maliciously: "It seems that the head of the group is already very familiar with her. Do you know that she Is he an accomplice of Rogge, the most wanted criminal in the empire?”

"Of course I know. I also met Rogge in person. The marks on my armor were left by him!" Antonio puffed up his chest and showed the cracks on the golden breastplate to Goethe and the surrounding priests.

Goethe glanced at his breastplate gloomily and asked, "So, where is Roger now?"

"I don't know, but I believe he must be tracking down the person who stole the sacred weapon. Since Miss Tully and Mr. Murphy are here, they must know the whereabouts of Rogge." Antonio turned back and looked at Tully and Mr. Murphy with inquiring eyes. Murphy.

Tully told Antonio what happened. The knight leader was shocked when he heard that William "Bloody Hand" was the murderer of the Grand Master. He also heard that Rogge had sneaked into the goblin lair with Catherine, and he was secretly worried. The two were worried.

But he did not show his worry. Instead, he comforted Tully and said, "Rogge is a famous demon hunter. He will definitely be able to successfully rescue the killer. As long as we see him, we can know the whereabouts of the holy artifact." ”

"Commander Antonio, what do you mean, do you intend to cooperate with the wanted criminal of the empire instead of bringing him and his accomplices to justice?" Goethe, the high priest on the steps, heard Antonio's words and used his power to The rod was pointed at him and he was sternly condemned.

"High Priest, I believe you already know about the death of the Grand Master of the Mage Tower and the theft of the sacred artifact. Then you should understand that now is not the time to pursue Rogge's crimes!" Antonio stepped forward and shouted to Goethe and everyone said.

"Miss Tully just told me that the escaped dark wizard William the Bloody Hand was the murderer who killed the Grand Master. He was directly related to the loss of the Holy Artifact. Rogge has been tracking his men. If he can really serve the Holy Assembly, If we work hard, we can make him pay for his sins!"

"Absurd!" Goethe shouted angrily, his eyes seemed to burst out with fire, "Antonio, I think you have been bribed by Rogge, otherwise how could you defend him everywhere!"

"High Priest!" Antonio turned back and glared at him without giving in, and angrily shouted: "No one in the empire knows Antonio's character, and I believe that His Majesty the Holy Emperor is as clear as a mirror. If you go to His Majesty to accuse me, If so, please do as you please!”

After saying that, he supported Murphy, and turned around and walked out of the fortress with Tully. The high priest on the stairs looked at his walking back, angrily raised his staff and shouted: "Stop them, don't let that one go." Witch!"

The uninjured priests of the priesthood gathered together after hearing the high priest's order. Antonio turned back and glared at Goethe coldly. The high priest also stared at the knight leader with hatred, and heard him raise his head and shout to the sky: " Tidarius!"

A huge griffon screamed from the sky and landed in front of Antonio. At the same time, a group of griffins appeared over the fortress like black clouds covering the sun. They landed on the square and formed a solid line of people around Antonio and others. Wall to keep the priests out.

Antonio, Tully and Murphy rode on the gryphon together, looked back at the livid high priest Goethe on the steps, and said loudly: "High Priest, if you want to complain to His Majesty the Holy Emperor, you can go now! Otherwise! If so, I hope you will stay here and wait for me to come back, and I will also talk to you about William the Bloody Hand's escape from prison!"

After Antonio finished speaking, he urged the griffin to take off and fly outside the fortress. Under the guidance of Tully and Murphy, he found the goblin lair and landed at the door of the lair. He asked the two of them to wait beside the griffin. He carefully walked into the goblin lair.

After a long time, Antonio came out and told the two that the lair was in chaos. He saw continuous fire, but did not find the shadows of Roger and Catherine. He believed that the two were no longer here.

The three of them were discussing where to look for Rogge. A black shadow suddenly landed from the sky behind Antonio, put a sword on the knight leader's back and said: "I heard that someone is looking for me. I'm glad to see you. Are you here?" Do you want to discuss whether you can go in and help me get revenge?"

Antonio turned around calmly and saw the cynical smile of the shirtless Rogge. He punched Rogge fiercely. The witcher quickly stepped back and turned to Catherine who was following him and said, "I I told you before, you should give me your gun and let me shoot the leader’s helmet with one shot!”

"Stop talking nonsense, Rogge!" Antonio took a step forward, glanced at Catherine behind him and asked, "Where is the man in black?"

"He died and was smashed into mud by the burning tower, but before he died, he revealed a terrible news to us!" Rogge shrugged with regret and asked: "Has anyone heard of the Titans? ?”

"Are you going to tell us that the guy told you before he died that the Titan was the mastermind behind the scenes?" Antonio looked at Rogge doubtfully and asked.

"The leader is wise! But he didn't have time to talk to me so much. He only said two words to me..." Rogge stepped forward, put his face close to Antonio's full-face helmet, and stared at his The eyes said: "Titan..."

"We have no reason to believe what you say. The Titans have always been friends of mankind. It is useless for them to ask for the holy weapon. What's more, even if they want to take away the holy weapon, there is no need to be so secretive!"

Staring into Antonio's doubtful eyes, Rogge nodded in agreement and said, "You are right, Mr. Leader, this is also my doubt, but it is undeniable that the Titan is indeed enough to control William the Bloody Hand!"

He walked past Antonio, closed his mask smoothly, and walked towards Tully and Murphy while saying: "Also, it is absolutely true that the man in black robe kept repeating the word 'Titan' when he was dying. of!"

"We can't just go and accuse the Titans because of this. It's definitely unwise to anger the Titans. It's more likely that the real conspirators will reap the benefits!" Antonio lifted his mask, looked back at Rogge and said loudly.

"I didn't ask you to go to the giants to punish you. I hope you can return to the Holy Emperor and protect the holy artifact in the Holy Palace, lest it be thrown away and cause me more trouble. , Mr. Leader!”

Rogge turned around and gave Antonio a tit-for-tat reply, and then continued: "I'm ready. I'm going to Thunder Castle, the royal city of the Titans. I believe I will find the clues and evidence I need there to prove the sacred artifact. Is it in Thunder Castle?”

He looked around at everyone present and asked, "Does anyone want to go with me?"

"I'll go!" Catherine was the first to raise her hand.

Rogge smiled slightly and nodded: "I know, my dear, you are my follower just like Lilith!" When the girl heard his words, she couldn't help but smile.

"I'll go too!" Tully said to Roger after her.

Before Rogge could answer, Murphy on the side said: "And me, my little injury doesn't matter. The road to Thunder Castle is very dangerous, I think I can help, not to mention that I came to Ice and Snow The island is just to explore the scenery of the Titans’ territory, so of course you can’t miss it!”

"Okay, the parties and volunteers, plus the two little followers and me, there are already five people!" Rogge looked back at Antonio who was standing aside. The knight leader was about to speak, but Rogge suddenly raised his hand to stop him. he.
