Chapter 141: Justice that Cannot See the Light
"Me?" Wallace wondered.
"I also said that after rescuing Princess Caterina this time, let the name of Rogue Rex disappear like this, it has existed for more than twenty years, and it is time for the curtain to close. Rex's words were a little down.
"Father, for what? Could it be that you don't approve of my ability?" Wallace really couldn't figure out why his father insisted on making Rogue Rex disappear.
"No, quite the opposite, my child. Rex shook his head. "You don't just want to be a thief, you can do something bigger. You're still young, you shouldn't be bound by my identity, you're not too young, I don't want you to live in my shadow, I hope that one day, what I hear is no longer the legend of Rogue Rex II, but Wallace Rex. ”
"Since you were a child, you have always thought that justice in the dark is so sacred, but in fact, justice is the most worthy thing to stand in the sun, and this is what Rogue Rex can't do, what Rogue can do is to replace justice with his own dagger when the law and rules can't work. However, this is not justice per se, and it can even be said that violence is countering violence. Wallace, I want you to join the Knights of the Dawn, a new organization of justice, and become a man who can stand in the sun and exercise justice!"
Wallace realized his father's ardent expectations for him, it turned out that in his father's eyes, he was much stronger than he is now!
"Is that so...... Wallace scolded himself for his incomprehension of his father, and even said stupid things like suspecting his father's selfishness, and tears rolled in his eyes. "Father, then I promise you, after this operation, the Rogue Rex will officially disappear, and I will join the Knights of the Dawn as an ordinary person and continue the spirit of the Rogue Knights. ”
"Okay, okay!" Rex couldn't help but get excited when he heard his son's affirmative answer, and couldn't help but cough twice.
"Father, you're okay, are you?" Wallace suddenly became nervous, after all, his father had just climbed over the wall and dodged the guards all the way, and his physical strength had been consumed a lot, which was actually very difficult for him at his age.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me. Rex waved his hand, signaling that there was no problem. "After returning to Athens this time, I will continue my work as a lawyer until I am completely old, and I will leave the rest to you and Elena. ”
“...... Be. ”
Wallace didn't say much, but in his heart, he had a firm belief: for the sake of his father, he must continue to complete the career of a thief under the sun.
"I guess that's the exit. Elena's voice came from the front.
"Well, here it is. Rex said, looking down the dark stairs up the stairs. "The situation ahead is unknown, let's find out if there are any guards near the exit, and if we are found as soon as we climb out of the road, it will be over. ”
"Father, leave it to me. Wallace said as he stepped forward to find out what was going on.
"No, let me do it this time. Rex stopped Wallace, drew a dagger from his waist, and disappeared into the darkness at the end of the stairs.
"Father......" Wallace just wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Elena.
"I believe that the teacher knows what he knows, and we have to trust him. Elena whispered.
"Well, we're waiting here for good news. ”
Rex put down his mask and quietly walked out of the sewer exit, and found a group of guards nearby, only twenty meters away, fortunately, they were not facing the direction of the sewers, but towards the inside of the royal city, obviously mainly guarding the main road of the royal city.
Rex hid in the shadows, quickly calculating the distance between himself and the entrance to the garden, and he found that he had entered the second wall, and if he wanted to reach the garden, he had to pass through an avenue on the east side of the royal city that was wide enough to walk side-by-side sixteen horsemen, and the avenue was illuminated by the light of the fire outside the gate that was not far away, and the only way to cross this avenue to reach the garden was to climb the wall above the gate and detour.
After observing everything, Rex returned to the sewers, called Wallace and Elena, who had been waiting for a long time, and briefly explained his plan.
"Such a risky road, if those guards suddenly turn around, won't we fall into passivity?" Elena, who had always been cautious, was the first to make her own point.
"That being said, there is no safer way to go here, and we have no choice but to walk from here. Wallace was more than in favor of this choice of winning in the face of danger.
"Anyway, let's climb over the wall above the city gate while the guards haven't turned around yet. With a wave of his hand, Rex put on the wall-climbing gloves, which were embedded with a row of iron spikes in the palm of his hand, and together with the wall-climbing boots under his feet, could help a trained person climb the wall.
"Father, you go first, then Elena, and then me. "Wallace chose the queen this time.
"Well, you have to be careful. ”
Rex didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly climbed up from one side of the wall of the city gate, I have to say, this kind of wall-climbing tool is really easy to use, and the action on this kind of city wall is no less than that of a gecko, I saw Rex constantly move his hands and feet, and soon climbed from one side of the city gate to the other, and after the last day, only to hear an almost inaudible sound of landing, Rex announced that he had successfully climbed over the city gate, and behind it was the entrance to the garden.
"The teacher is still so agile. Elena couldn't help but admire.
"It's your turn now. Wallace reminded.
"Well, be careful. ”
After a final admonition, Elena used the same method, and with the same vigorous skill, she climbed over the city gate and reached the entrance of the garden without any problems.
"Elena's skills have improved. Wallace smiled slightly, he also put on the wall-climbing gloves and climbed the wall, but ......
"Turn back!"
At this time, an accident happened, just when Wallace was directly above the city gate, the guards not far away did not know what nerves were, and under the order of the commander, they all turned to the side of the city gate, and in front of them, it was Wallace lying on the city wall at this time!
......Wallace didn't dare to move, he knew that as long as he moved even a little, those guards would have the possibility of discovering themselves, and if he didn't move at this time, the guards might not be able to find himself dressed in black, so he tried to adjust his breathing, and just hung in the air on the city wall.
One second, two seconds, the night was terrible, and as time passed, the dark clouds overhead became thicker and thicker, and it seemed that a heavy rain was brewing.
"How could it be!" Elena watched Wallace hang on the wall like this, not daring to move, and her heart couldn't help but feel anxious. "Teacher, is there any way we can save him!"
"No, now we can only pray that he will hold out until the soldiers are no longer facing here. Rex whispered. "But I'm sure he can do it, he's my son, Rogue Rex II!"
Twenty minutes, full twenty minutes, Wallace's forehead and palms were already covered with sweat, he could clearly feel his palms slipping out of his gloves, and he tried all his strength to keep himself motionless on the wall, but as time went on, it became more and more an impossible task.
Sweat slid down Wallace's forehead and into his neckline, and Wallace's heartbeat became more and more intense at this time, and he knew very well that he was about to lose his grasp, and if he continued like this, it would be a matter of time before he was discovered.
"Damn soldier, turn around!" Wallace cursed silently, and his heart fell deeper and deeper into despair.
Finally......
"Turn back!"
With another loud slogan, more than twenty guards neatly turned to the inner side of the royal city, and Wallace let out a sigh of relief, hurriedly moved his already stiff hands and feet, and crawled to the opposite side with three strokes and five divisions.
"Whew...... It's so thrilling......" Wallace didn't say anything, and just lay down on the ground, gasping for breath.
"Don't take it lightly now, we have entered the inside of the second wall, this is the royal quarter, the guards are several times tighter than the outside, and there is a danger every second. Elena stared warily around her as her dagger pulled from her waist.
"I know, let me slow down, I was really tired just now......" Wallace said weakly.
"Well, you rest for now, and I'll go and check out the traps near the entrance to the garden. Elena naturally knew Wallace's danger just now, if it was herself who was hanging on it at that time, Bacheng couldn't hold on and fell directly to the ground, and she didn't say more at the moment, but turned to deal with those traps in the garden.
Although Rex didn't say a word, he was very satisfied in his heart, it seems that both his son and his student now have the ability to take charge of themselves, how can he not be pleased with such progress?
"Teacher, I have already found the traps near this entrance, there are a few traps, and a few magic traps, I have marked them one by one with fluorescent powder, and you will be able to see them when the time comes. When Elena returned, she unceremoniously kicked Wallace, who was still lying on the ground. "Don't pretend to be dead, get up and work, don't you want to sleep here?"
"Don't kick me, it's not like I can't get up......," Wallace muttered under his breath, quickly standing up and patting the dust off his body.
