Chapter 121: Has My Wanted Warrant Gone Higher?
In the small circular cave, two fifteen or sixteen-year-old children were hung in the air with their hands tied, a stone beam above their heads, their bodies hung by a rope through the stone beam, their waists tied to a thin stone pillar, and a wide pit at their feet.
The two children who were hanging in the air saw a figure approaching, and shouted in panic, Rogge hurriedly stopped the two children, and Kevin, who followed closely, cast a spell to light up the cave, and saw the figure of the dean, the two children were surprised and happy, and hurriedly shouted for help.
Rogge asked Kevin to soothe the two children, and he carefully walked to the deep pit and looked down, and found that the pit was full of sharp stone swords, and the dense blades of the swords were aimed at the two children, and once they fell, they would be stabbed into a hornet's nest.
He looked up at the stone beam above him, and saw that there was another rope attached to the rope from which the two children were hanging, and he went around the edge of the pit to the rear, and saw that the rope extended to the wall behind it, and the end of the rope was submerged in the wall, and above the place where the rope had disappeared, a flat hole appeared in the wall.
Rog glanced back at the crowd, signaling them not to move casually, and then cautiously leaned close to the wall, peering into the flat hole, a cold light reflected the green light flashing in his eyes, and the shiny sword body reflected into Rogge's eyes.
"This bastard!" Rogge whispered, turning around and about to return, when he suddenly saw Antonio come up and ask with concern, "How's it going, what's wrong here?"
"It's a mechanism. Rogge's voice was very slight, as if he was worried that too loud a loud voice would trigger a trap to kill the two children.
He pulled Antonio aside, away from the ropes and the thin holes in which the swords were held, and pointed to the two children, saying, "The two children are tied to the stone pillars, and the ropes on which they are hung with their hands tied above their heads are connected to the ropes on the stone wall. ”
He pointed to the flat hole in the wall not far away and said, "There is a heavy two-handed sword in that hole, and I guess there must be a powerful catapult device buried behind the stone wall, and if we untie the rope on the child's body, whether it is on the waist or in the hand, it will break the balance and trigger the mechanism." ”
"And then the sword will pop out and stab one of the children to death?" Antonio said, glancing at the hole Rogge was pointing to, and frowning.
"No, it will shatter the stone pillar in the middle, causing the beams and pillars to collapse, and both the children and the person trying to rescue them will fall into the pit full of stone thorns!" said Rogge, turning to the edge of the pit and looking down at the sharp spikes in the pit.
"I can't believe that William would have such a device!" Antonio said as he walked up to him and looked at the bottom of the pit, gritting his teeth.
"It's not that hard, just buy a crossbow, maybe William's factory in the Shadow Fortress can build it, but I'd prefer that he bought it from the Empire's private war machine shop, and the money can make the grinder. Rogge winked meaningfully at Antonio.
"So what should we do?" Antonio estimated that the distance between the edge of the pit and the children's location was about three meters wide, not to mention that there were so many mechanisms, even if there were no ones, it would be very difficult to rescue them.
"Can we use Transfiguration to save them?" said Tali, walking over to Rog from the other side of the pit and looking at Lilith on Rog's shoulder.
"These two children have never experienced Transfiguration, and in this dangerous environment, they can't fly out of place on their own like Lilith, and if they don't get it, they could fall into the pit and get injured or even die, and we can't take that risk. Rogge said as he looked at the two children in the center of the pit.
He pondered for a moment, then turned back to Tali and said, "To get them out, we have to work together and fill the pit with water first." ”
Tali immediately cast a spell to inject a large amount of water into the pit, and Antonio on the side looked at the rising water and said with some concern: "If you want to rely on the buoyancy of the water to ensure that the two children will not be stabbed by the stone sword, this depth does not seem to be enough. ”
"I didn't plan to throw the kids in the water, because I would choke them to death. Rog turned and patted Antonio on the back, pointed to the wall on the side of the pit and said, "Stick your spear in the ground, we need a solid pillar." ”
Antonio looked at him suspiciously, Rog nodded affirmatively, the suspicious knight leader had no choice but to turn around and walk to his designated position, Rog turned back to Tali and said, "When the water is full, please summon the lamp god to help, we need a rope." ”
After he finished speaking, he turned to Catherine, whispered something to her, and then turned back to Lilith on his shoulder and muttered a few words, the little owl and Catherine said yes in unison, and Rog put the little furball on Catherine's shoulder, and turned to Dean Kevin.
"Dean, please wait by the wall opposite Head Antonio, our rescue operation is about to begin. Rog nodded respectfully to Kevin, then walked past him and circled back to Tully, where the lamp god had emerged from the oil lamp and handed a ten-meter rope to Rog.
Rog gave one end of the rope to Antonio to tie it securely to the knight's spear that was inserted into the ground, and then had Lilith carry the other end of the rope across the pit to Kevin, the head of the School of Magic.
"You should be able to magically create a place to hold the rope in place, right?" Rogge shouted to Kevin through the pit.
Kevin's right hand pointed to the ground, chanting a mantra silently in his mouth, his fingers lifted upward, and a rock raised from the ground, Kevin pointed with his right hand, and the rope automatically straightened and wrapped around the rock, and the dean stomped his foot gently, and the rock and the rope instantly merged into one.
"Very well, Catherine, Lilith, get ready! The others leave the cave and hide on either side!" Rog commanded as he gestured loudly, and Catherine slipped from under the rope to the right side of the pit, and Lilith flapped her wings and landed on the rope that crossed the pit.
"Quiet guys, I'm going to start! Don't be afraid of the babies, I'll get you out of here!" Rog ripped the green cloak off his shoulder, handed the wide-brimmed hat and cloak to Tully, lit a cigar, held it to his mouth, and jumped into the air on the rope that crossed the pit.
Those present could not help but be taken aback, only to see him spread his arms and walk steadily on the thumb-thick rope towards the center of the pit, the cigar burning quietly at the corner of his mouth, and a few wisps of soot scattered and fell into the deep pit filled with water.
The rope swayed gently under his feet, and Rog stared intently at the small furball on the rope in front of him, only a few steps away from him, and both of them stared at each other with dead eyes, as if they had forgotten the danger below.
Finally, stepping on the trembling rope, Rogge approached the two children, he carefully grasped the balance, squatted down in front of the two children, and slowly released five claw blades with his left hand, while avoiding the imbalance of the body caused by weight changes, and manipulated the five claw blades around the two children.
When everything was ready, he winked at Lilith and Catherine, and with a sudden wave of his hand, he manipulated five blades to cut the ropes around the waist and hands of the two children, and grabbed one of their hands with both hands.
With a "whoosh", a two-handed giant sword nearly two meters long flew out of the flat hole in the opposite wall, roaring towards the stone pillar in the center of the pit.
The little owl's eyes glared and shot out two immobilization beams, but unexpectedly, the power of the giant sword was extremely strong, and it only slowed down after being irradiated by the immobilization beam, and the distance between the wall and the stone pillar was too close, and the giant sword still rushed towards the stone pillar with the momentum of wind and rain.
Between the lightning and the fire, Catherine's twin guns burst out with firelight, and twenty silver bullets all hit the sword body of the giant sword without hesitation, and the sword body was changed by the powerful impact of the projectiles one after another, and passed by the stone pillar, the blade of the sword cut the rope under Rog's feet, and a sword pierced into the stone wall next to the cave entrance.
"Oh no!" everyone present couldn't help but gasp when they saw the rope under Rogge's feet break, but Rogge had already kicked the stone pillar in front of him before the rope was cut, and his body jumped backwards, holding a child's hand with both hands, and a backflip fell in the direction of the cave door.
He held the two children tightly in his arms in mid-air, and his back fell heavily on the hard ground, and the people around him hurriedly came forward, and the two children got up unscathed, while Rogge lay on his back with his eyes closed.
Tali and Catherine stepped forward and called out to Rog, but there was no response, and Tali was about to help Rogge check his injuries when she saw the little owl land on his face, raise a small paw and scratch him hard.
"You little villain, don't you know that what you're about to destroy is a face worth two thousand gold coins?"
One hand grabbed Lilith violently, and the little furball's claws brushed against Rogge's face, Rogge rolled over from the ground, glared at the little guy and threw her into the air, looked back at Antonio and asked, "By the way, Captain, is my wanted bounty going up again?"
Antonio shook his head with a smile, and both Tully and Catherine breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but watch him get up from the ground, lean over and kiss the two boys, and then asked, "Do you know where Chuck is?"
"He was taken away by the bad guy, and the bad guy wrote something on my pajamas!" said Big Wright, the elder of the Wright brothers, pointing to his pajamas.
Rog asked him to turn around, and the others saw a line written on his back: Lone wolf, if you want to see another child, let Miss Guardian bring her magic lamp to the Organ Shore, remember, only allow her to come, if you dare to follow, the child will die!
"Organ Coast," Rogge asked Kevin back, "Dean, do you know that place?"
"Right on the southernmost tip of Isand Island, there is the most beautiful and largest golden sand beach on the island. Kevin replied without thinking.
"Okay, let's take the two little ones back first, and then we'll figure it out. Rogge was about to leave the cave when he heard little Wright say, "Sir, I heard him say something as he was leaving......
