Fifteen days later, two grand weddings were held simultaneously in the Imperial Palace. w w wq u a n b e nc o mRogge and Kerry each married a princess, and also received the prince's title as they wished. However, Rogge came from nothing and became a powerful man, while Kerry was reduced from an independent king to a subordinate prince, so his mood was naturally very different.
By the time the dinner and dance ended, it was late at night.
At this time, Malika had taken off her heavy wedding dress and was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, with Julie helping to remove her makeup.
Roger was wrapped in a bathrobe, humming a tune, and walked out of the bathroom calmly.
"Lord Rogge!" Julie stood in front of Malika, looked at the fat man warily, and said coldly: "Don't forget your promise to our princess!"
Rogge smiled, but before he could answer, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Julie ran over and opened the door, and suddenly froze.
Standing outside the door was a dressed-up Fengdie. She seemed to be enveloped in light smoke, with a faint golden color slowly flowing down from her hair.
The beauty of the elf was completely different from that of the human world, and Julie could not look directly at her face.
"Is Lord Rogge here?" Feng Die asked lightly.
Before Julie could recover, she instinctively responded: "He's here. But it's so late..."
"It's very late. He should be in my room at this time." Feng Die's calm words were like thunder in Julie's ears!
"But..." Before Julie could finish her words, Feng Die dragged Rogge away.
Malika and Julie looked at each other, unable to understand what had just happened.
"What is this!" Malika lost her voice: "Am I not the one getting married today?"
She suddenly swept everything on the dressing table to the floor.
The morning is peaceful. While people are still dreaming, the nameless grass is already blooming with vitality. This is Roger’s favorite moment of meditation.
But a faint but sharp wind awakened Rogge from his meditation. As soon as his eyes opened, he was attracted by everything he saw.
In the morning light of a room, there was faint smoke rising. The graceful and flowing brilliance lingers around a dancing figure.
The huge wheel saw was like a weightless butterfly wing in Feng Die's hands, flying around her body under the guidance of her slender fingers.
In the faint morning light, the pale golden color of the wind butterfly can't stop flying. Under the interplay of the flickering brilliance of the wheel saw and the morning light, it changes into gorgeous colors.
Fengdie only wore the most intimate clothes, and her perfect skin was exposed. In the extremely limited space of the bedroom, she retreated as if she were real and imaginary, as graceful as a fairy.
There is a mist orchid placed in the corner of the room, its slender leaves trembling in the gentle breeze. The flowing brilliance turns into little beads of light from time to time, rolling down the veins of the leaves like morning dew. In the beautiful but deadly brilliance, these green orchid leaves are unharmed.
The bedroom that originally only showed worldly luxury is now a fairyland on earth.
Just because of Fengdie, she danced so beautifully that she was amazed.
This is no longer a display of martial arts, but a dance that has appeared several times in the world.
At this moment, not only time but also thoughts stopped.
I don't know how long it took before the flying wheel saw emitted rays of light and then stopped in Fengdie's hand.
Fengdie Yingying turned around and looked at the stunned Rogge quietly. The golden sunlight shone from behind her, stinging Rogge's eyes.
In that golden brilliance, he could only see the beautiful figure and the slowly falling pale gold.
In the silence, a drop of water suddenly slipped.
Before falling into the dust of the world, it reflected the seven colors of iridescence in the morning light, glowing with its final splendor.
Why is this dreamy morning so beautiful and...sad
Rogge was suddenly startled. How long had it been since he had experienced grief? In addition to witnessing the blood-stained long street of Ofiloch and the statue of Elesis becoming immortal in the flames that day; in addition to seeing the tarnished 'demon lotus' and the wings still stained with wet blood in the world of death. ;In addition to watching the elf woman who turned into a golden meteor at the cost of her life go away...
Sadness, what a luxurious feeling!
"I can't do it." Feng Die said as if dreaming.
"What are you going to do?" Roger asked.
"I can't forget him, and I have you in my heart; I can't break through your curse, and I can't control my feelings; I can't let go of my hatred, but... what should I do if the elf's nature doesn't allow me to betray?"
Rogge sighed softly, and with a flick of his fingers, a gentle breeze blew away the tears on Fengdie's face.
"Do you want me to terminate the contract?"
Fengdie shook her head blankly and didn't know. "
"Fengdie, I was once helpless, confused, and desperate. At that time, I could only accept my fate and was not even qualified to participate in the outcome. Until now, what I have fought for is still just a person sitting on the card table. Opportunity. As long as you sit on the card table of fate, the pain card in your hand can go to others, and you can even give it to people who can't sit on the card table. This is the privilege of the player. Since love and hate make you so painful, it is better to let go first Just let it go! There is no road in front of you now, but if you climb one more step, the road may be there. Even if there is still no way out, at least you now have a goal."
He smiled and waited for the day when you would be able to kill me. "
A layer of mist floated in Fengdie's eyes, and she said softly: "But... what is the end of the power?"
Rogge smiled and said: "I don't know either. So I want to see what's there."
Fengdie sighed inaudibly and leaned helplessly in Rogge's arms.
Still early in the morning, the Winter Palace became noisy and angry shouts came one after another.
In front of the courtyard where Rogge lived, more than ten young people in luxurious clothes gathered and were confronting two elf warriors in full armor. These people seemed to have a lot of background, even the guards of the Winter Palace only whispered to persuade them, let alone drive them away, they didn't even dare to stop them.
But Rogge, who lives in the courtyard, is not easy to mess with. The old guard leader knew that all the officials of this party who guarded the border and had heavy troops were murderous characters. Rogge was very popular with the emperor, so he couldn't offend him.
At this moment, he was sweating profusely. He can't afford to offend both sides, but if he doesn't help either side, it's likely that both sides will be offended.
Fortunately, although these young people are noisy now, they don't have the intention to force themselves.
In fact, the two young men who believed that they had mastered the "secret fighting skills" had already tried hard, but as soon as they started, they were beaten to a pulp by two delicate-looking female elf warriors. These two elves did not have the legendary grace and tolerance in their actions. Their movements were almost identical, with elbow strikes, knee strikes, and finally a head-on punch, which was extremely cruel and ruthless. In an instant, the young man who just thought that he should have some sympathy for the beautiful elf turned into a bruised face and a nosebleed.
What these young people are doing is Lei Luo. He looked at the two young men who were anxious, angry, and extremely embarrassed, and an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
These young people are regular visitors to the art salon he hosts, and they always talk about poetry, music, and, of course, women together. They all come from prominent families. For example, of the two people who were beaten just now, one's father is a grand duke who manages the border provinces, and the other's father is an important member of the Imperial Ministry. Now, invisibly, Rogge had offended two families at the same time.
As if she heard the noise outside, Malika hurriedly walked out of the room. She was dressed in makeup and looked stunning. It's just that the circles under his eyes are slightly shadowed, as if he hasn't had a good night's sleep. On the stairs, she happened to meet Roger who was also walking outside.
Rogge smiled and asked: "Are you going out so early? Are those noisy people outside your friends?"
Malika snorted and frowned: "Today is the day of our art salon gathering, and they came to see me. Why don't you let them in?"
Rogge smiled and said: "I have some status, how can I let people come and go at will where I live? My guards will not let people in without my instructions."
Malika said coldly: "Mr. Rogge, I'm afraid your guards are going to suffer a lot. Some of my friends are proficient in fighting arts! For the sake of your subordinates, you should not set up any more obstacles in the future. Such a nice person!”
Rogge burst out laughing. Indeed, none of the guards knew how to fight. They only killed people on the battlefield. But since you have spoken, I will let your friends come and go from the Winter Palace as they please. "
Julie hummed: "You know what's going on."
Rogge smiled noncommittally and said, "Then I'll take you out."
At this moment, Froya came towards me. This charming little fairy smiles lightly and is full of charm.
She glanced at Malika's master and servant, whispered something in Rogge's ear, and then walked away with a meaningful chuckle.
Malika stared at Froya's back, and after a long time she gritted her teeth and said, "Who is she?"
"It's not important." Rogge smiled.
The noise at the courtyard gate became more and more fierce. The leader of the Winter Palace guards suddenly caught a glimpse of Rogge. If he was amnesty, he hurried over.
The young people saw Malika and seemed to have won. After a while of noisy, they gradually became quiet.
Rogge walked directly in front of Lei Luo. Although the young people were disdainful of him, for some reason, they all subconsciously made way for Rogge. No one wanted to try the fat man's fighting skills.
Rogge looked at the famous poet and composer up and down, then nodded and said, "He is indeed a talent."
"I'm afraid Lord Rogge has no way of judging my talent." Lei Luo sneered.
Rogge acted as if he didn't understand at all and just said: "It was a misunderstanding just now. From now on, if you come to Malika, no one will stop you."
Lei Luo was greatly surprised. He stared at Rogge for a long time and then said: "Master Rogge, art is always full of lust. Today's salon will be an unforgettable experience. You must know that the wildness of a princess is rare. See you there!"
The young people laughed meaningfully.
Rogge smiled and said: "I only know how to make money and fight, and I know nothing about art. My territory is not peaceful, and I will have to go back soon. Are is a remote place with few artists, let alone art salons, Mary It will be very lonely if you are stuck there. It would be great if you could spend more time with her these days. Mr. Lei Luo, are you ready to go to Arei? Experience the mountain village style, maybe it will be good for you. Psalms are good."
Lei Luo didn't know how to answer for a while. He knew some details about Fatty, so how could he dare to wander around in Fatty's lair
Rogge didn't wait for his answer, he just patted Lei Luo on the shoulder, got into the carriage, and drove away.
Seeing the young people crowding Malika into the carriage, the guard collar of the Winter Palace wiped the cold sweat from his head, but the sadness on his face became heavier. He will be able to retire in two years, and now he just hopes to spend the next few days in peace. If you must give birth to something, don't give birth in the winter palace.
Pompey's palace occupied the entire island. Except that the location and occupancy showed the power of the owner, there was no luxury inside as Rogge expected.
In addition to Pompeo and Rockefeller, there was an old woman dressed as a priest in the reception room at this moment. She had an arrogant expression and a sinister face, and she couldn't help but look at Rogge.
Rockefeller said: "Master Jima is the most powerful magician in the Holy Religion. He is also the only high priest in the Holy Religion who has experienced the power of the Ice and Snow Goddess."
Jima stared at Rogge, looking left and right, and then said in a slow and hoarse voice: "According to the Holy Religion's collection, this frost dagger looks no different from an ordinary dagger. Its power all comes from the goddess of ice and snow. The divine power. However, the divine power of the Ice and Snow Goddess is very obscure and unpredictable, and she will attack creatures that do not have faith on her own. If an ordinary magician or warrior accidentally comes into contact with it, it is likely to be killed immediately. Just in case. , I made a magic mirror. On the one hand, it can reduce the damage caused by the goddess's power to the holder, and on the other hand, it can also detect the approximate location of the frost dagger. Of course, the power of the magic mirror is not comparable to that of the frost dagger. Someone must be very strong to be completely immune to the goddess's power."
Rogge took the magic mirror doubtfully. Although the workmanship of this magic mirror is rough, the power contained in it is very powerful. And this is not ordinary magic power, but contains a trace of the divine power of the Ice and Snow Goddess. It seems that this old woman Jima is not a simple person.
Pompeo said: "Those adventurers have already recognized the location of the Amaro Hades Palace. By coincidence, it is located at the junction of the Empire and the Holy Alliance. I will leave this matter to Lord Rogge. I will let Doliak The Duke fully cooperates with your actions."
Rogge asked: "Then what to do with those adventurers?"
"When the location of the Hades Palace is confirmed in two days, we will deal with them all. Lest the Druid make a fuss about it."
Rogge nodded and said: "This is best. Will Master Jima come with me this time?"
Pompey sighed and said, "Except Lord Doliac's army, I'm afraid we won't be able to provide you with any personnel help this time." I just received news that the seal of the Gate of the Abyss suddenly loosened, and a large number of very terrifying monsters rushed out. The three thousand Poseidon warriors left behind suffered heavy losses. I have ordered them to defend at all costs, and to hold on for more than two days no matter what, until the main army comes back. Rockefeller, Master Gemma and I are about to go to the Gate of the Abyss. If these monsters were allowed to break out of the blockade, the consequences would be disastrous. "
Rogge was still in shock... Didn't you confirm the status of the seal before sending troops to the Holy Alliance? "
Gemma interjected: "That seal was placed by my late teacher. I personally inspected it before Lord Pompey mobilized his troops. The seal was in very complete condition at that time. If there are no external factors, in another hundred years There’s no need to reinforce it.”
Rogge chuckled and said...Druid did it? "
Pompey sighed: "If it weren't for them, no one else would have the ability to pass through my defense line. Once I approached the gate of the abyss, I probably wouldn't be able to get away with the crime of asking for favors and leaving my post without permission. Straw will no longer be in the Great Emperor. If you accuse us severely in front of us, I'm afraid the best result will be to erase the credit for conquering the Holy Alliance."
Rogge frowned. He did not expect that the druids would use such cruel methods. This time the situation was immediately reversed, not only greatly weakening the strength of the Poseidon Corps, Pompey and the Silver Holy Cult were also likely to fall out of favor. The druid was able to recover from the disadvantage of defeating the Dark Forest in one fell swoop.
Pompey walked around the room twice with his hands behind his back, and sneered: "The empire is not yet in the Druid's possession! The Druid's poisonous plan this time will kill at least 5,000 of my soldiers. Wouldn't those soldiers die in On the battlefield of foreign conquest, he died in the conspiracy of his own people! The soldiers of the empire have always valued the lives of their soldiers the most, and any battles in the political arena in the past would not affect ordinary soldiers. This time, Drew We have crossed the line. I will inform Alexander about this. If the Glacier Corps, which is not helping us, is willing to support us, the situation will be completely different!"
Rogge was not yet familiar with the political arena of the empire, so he frowned and asked, "So, Frederick shouldn't support the Druid's approach, right?"
Pompey nodded. Although Telie supported the City of Clouds and Nights, he was still a true knight. Now his 'Tide' Corps is fighting on the southeastern border of the empire, and he probably doesn't know about it. By the way, Master Rogge, I heard that things were not going well between you and Princess Malika. "
Rogge said calmly: "As long as the prince can get it."
Pompeo frowned and said: "This matter is not that simple. According to our insider in the imperial palace, all the jade tablets that day were engraved with the same name. And I have sent people to investigate Lei Luo's identity and background. , but found nothing. Mr. Rogge, it seems that the Druid has already planned to deal with you. You must be careful when going south this time, and you must not let the Frost Dagger fall into the hands of the Druid. Also, your territory is now Still in turmoil, beware of meddling by the druids.”
Rogge said: "Don't worry, I will be careful. Now I am going to meet those adventurers and see if I can ask anything else."
Many days later.
At the border of the empire, the mountains that had been lonely for many years suddenly became lively.
The large group of men and horses were winding their way through the mountains and forests. Rogge in the center of the team was riding on a tall horse, looking at Zixiong.
Usually explorers will form small and capable teams to search for places like underground palace ruins. Not so with Roger. Now that he has great power, if he still forms an expedition team with a few partners, it will not reflect the benefits of being in power. So the fat man simply transferred 3,000 soldiers from the Duke of Doriac, and urgently transferred a large number of elven magicians and engineering troops from the Principality of Are to go into the mountains to dig for treasures.
There are many advantages to using such a large group of people to dig up ruins. For example, it is easier to do things with more people, and it can prevent druids from plotting evil. Rogge also attacked an unexpected Drew base on the way. To deal with this kind of Drew base point, which is not a powerful person, it won't cost Fatty anything at all. It's just that in the mountains and forests, not a single druid could escape, which was a small demonstration of the clever command of some fat people.
After traveling in the mountains for several days, a majestic stone palace finally appeared in front of Rogge. It was unknown who left such a magnificent building in such a desolate place.
Rogge stood proudly at the gate of the Stone Palace, raising his head and looking up along the gate. In front of the huge ten-meter-high stone door, Rogge looked so small.
Engraved in the center of the stone gate is a huge magic symbol with a radius of several meters. It is unknown which great magician left it. Its function is obviously to seal the stone gate. Rogge stroked the stone door, and after a long time he raised his head again and looked at the magic symbol, showing a hint of admiration.
Froya Yingying stepped forward and looked at the stone door. She was helpless because the magic defense on the door was so strong. "
Rogge looked back at the elf mage behind him. It seemed that magic could not break through these two stone gates. "
Rogge has already scanned it with his mental power. This stone door is one meter thick. Because of the seal, it can resist a considerable degree of magic damage. As for such a heavy stone gate, I am afraid that only the legendary storm giant with infinite strength can push it.
Roger thought for a moment and smiled.
Under the command of Fatty, the elf engineering troops sown countless seeds under the stone steps of the gate, and then used the elf's secret method to promote growth. In the blink of an eye, countless trees and vines scrambled to poke their heads out of the cracks in the rocks, growing crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye. The force with which plants grow is almost irresistible. Rogge watched the boulders loosen and just smiled.
Suddenly there was a loud rumble, and a stone door suddenly tilted due to loose foundation, revealing a gap more than half a foot wide. Rogge ran to the gap in a few steps, carefully looked inside for a long time, and then started to arrange it.
A moment later, more than ten thick ropes were wrapped around the stone gate. Under the command of the officer, three thousand soldiers exerted their strength at the same time, and their shouts shook the entire valley!
The ten-meter stone door shook, and a ball of orange-red fireball suddenly shot out from the huge magic symbol!
The magic seal left by the ancient great magician was in conflict with thousands of warriors.
But the strength of one person is ultimately no match for thousands of warriors. After the soldiers made more than ten earth-shattering shouts, the huge stone gate finally slowly collapsed, and a lot of the stones above the stone gate also collapsed.
Thousands of soldiers worked together and quickly cleared away the rubble.
Rogge snorted, looked at the dark and deep stone palace, and finally walked slowly into it.
The stone palace has been closed for a long time, and undead and undead creatures are almost a must for this type of building. But for Fatty, there is no undead spirit worth fearing, not to mention all kinds of poisonous monsters and insects. Under the illumination of the magical flames, the dark environment could be said to be as bright as day in front of the elves' night eyes, so the exploration went very smoothly.
Froya and Fengdie followed Rogge to the left and right, both on full alert. In this dark and humid environment, surrounded by snakes, insects and undead, the two little women were instinctively afraid.
Rogge seemed to be walking in front easily, but in fact he was extremely alert and kept scanning the surrounding environment with his mental power. In front of his spiritual power, neither monsters nor undead can hide.
He slowly opened a door and led everyone into a large, empty room. The fat man suddenly reached out and pointed at the corner of the wall, and Froya immediately threw several lightning balls over. More than a dozen small light gray monsters suddenly appeared. They screamed and rolled on the ground, trying to fight the electric fire on their bodies, but after struggling for a while, they became silent.
Rogge pointed to the ceiling again, and the elf mage behind him immediately released a wave of flames. Then there were bursts of sharp screams from the high ceiling, and dozens of huge green bats were on fire and fell one by one.
Rogge suddenly took a step forward, reached out and grabbed it in the air, and a faint shadow wrapped around his fist, struggling constantly. The shadow is getting darker and darker, and the struggle is getting weaker and weaker. After a moment, Rogge loosened his grip and the shadow regained its freedom. It immediately flew out of the room, and after a while, returned to Roger again. The luster on the shadow kept fluctuating, as if it was communicating something with Rogge.
Rogge nodded, took out the magic mirror and took a look, then led everyone towards a stone wall. It wasn't until the fat man passed through the wall that everyone behind him realized that the wall was just an illusion.
Rogge stood quietly in front of a stone door for a moment, then stretched out his hand and pointed three meters away from the door. Two muscular warriors stepped forward, swung their giant hammers, and smashed them against the stone wall. Amid the smoke and dust, a large one-meter-square hole was smashed into the wall. A loud squeaking sound came from the stone chamber.
Rogge didn't care what kind of monster was in the stone room. He waved his hand, and fireballs were generated one after another in the hands of the elf mages and thrown into the stone chamber. The flames repeatedly plowed through every inch of the stone chamber, and even the caves on the walls sprayed tongues of fire more than one meter long.
After seven or eight fireballs were thrown, the stone chamber finally became quiet. After the smoke and dust cleared, Rogge entered the stone room. There were charred corpses about a foot tall lying in the room. The four walls were lined with weapon racks, with rusty weapons placed on them.
Rogge waved, and a druid warrior with tattered clothes and wounds was pushed up. He ordered coldly: "Move all the weapons inside outside! If you dare to mess around, I will kill your companions."
Rogge was slightly disappointed as he watched the captured warrior move the last weapon from the stone room to the corridor. He remained silent and walked deeper into the stone palace.
Rogge's preparations this time were not complete. He lacked the most critical person in exploring the ruins, the thief. Originally, Fatty had been trying to contact Death Ban and Hughes, but there was no response. He didn't know where these two old foxes went to harm others. But the fat man relied on the strength of the crowd, so he no longer waited and went straight to explore the stone palace.
After going back and forth and spending most of the day, Rogge finally approached the center of the stone palace. There are more undead and resentful souls here, and they are also more powerful. The biggest headache for Rogge is that there are more and more traps, which are becoming more and more difficult to find and dismantle.
After taking a short rest, Rogge led his most elite men into a hall. This nearly 100-meter-wide hall was lined with countless stone statues, and Fatty knew that these stone statues would all turn into monster gargoyles. So as soon as they entered the hall, dozens of warriors wielding heavy hammers rushed forward under Fatty's order and swung down their hammers. Amidst the rumbling sounds, more than a dozen stone statues were smashed by heavy hammers before they could be activated.
But there are still nearly a hundred stone statues successfully revitalized.
No matter how many gargoyles there are, they are not in Rogge's eyes. He reached out and took the heavy ax handed over by his subordinates, and walked towards the dense gargoyles.
A gargoyle screamed and leapt at him. Rogge roared angrily, and with a strange whistling sound, the heavy ax in his hand turned into a black light and suddenly struck the gargoyle!
Rogge's smile suddenly froze! His ax with all his strength only penetrated a foot or so deep, but failed to cut the seemingly thin gargoyle in half! He looked carefully and found that these gargoyles had faint dark golden stripes on their bodies. Rogge knew that this kind of mutation would occur only when a kind of monster becomes powerful enough.
Everyone in the hall looked at the gargoyle that was still struggling in front of Rogge, and silently clenched their weapons.
Rogge slowly raised his head and looked at the pair of blood-red eyes in front of him, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. (Quanben Novel Website www.QuANbEn-XiAoShUo.com)
