Chapter 138: The Dark Knight
Wallace poured a bit of magical energy into the coin, and soon the sound of Rex was heard from the coin.
"Wallace, Elena, I'm in Rome right now. Rex's voice was very low, and the sound of soldiers' armor and weapons colliding with each other was constantly heard around, and the sound of neat steps, Rex's voice sounded very nervous. "Don't speak, the whole city is under the watchful eye of Trist's people, but Princess Caterina is in the royal city, I have confirmed her location through one of the royal guards, you come here as soon as possible, come to Rome and meet at the bar we often come to, and the boss will bring you to meet me." ”
Wallace and Elena looked at each other with their breath in their breath, and they both saw a hint of uncertainty in each other's eyes.
"Be careful, these guards are much more vigilant, everyone who enters and leaves the city will be strictly checked, you must hide your identity, otherwise Princess Caterina will inevitably be in danger. ”
Without waiting for Wallace to answer, the magic runes on the coin went out on its own, and it seemed that Rex had cut off the communication on the other end.
"The teacher is never alarmist, and it seems that the current situation in Rome must be very bad. Elena groaned and said.
"But there are solutions, we just need to do what we normally do. Wallace was very confident.
After the two disguised themselves, they turned into a young couple who went out to do business, in order to hide their eyes, the two bought some spices, brandy, dyes, cloth and other goods nearby, and packed Elena's weapons and Rex's father and son's outfit into three special suitcases in the mezzanine, Rex has used this trick to avoid countless interrogation and secret sentinels, and has not shown his stuffing once.
What's more, people don't know that these brandies are actually distilled with a very high degree of liquor, which will be ignited when it comes into contact with sparks, and the cloth is cotton cloth with excellent water absorption, and the simple combination of the two will immediately become the favorite cocktail in the hands of arsonists, the legendary Molotov cocktail.
Taking advantage of the night, the two changed into a carriage and quickly hurried along the stone road in the direction of Rome.
Two days later, in the afternoon.
On the outskirts of Rome, it's August, and it's the hottest time, and both animals and plants are hanging their heads and looking listless.
Elena and Wallace drove the dilapidated carriage slowly approaching the gates of Rome, and as expected, the gate had long been guarded by a team of guards, strictly checking passers-by, from the belongings they carried to the luggage to the carriage, without exception, which also fully proved Trist's extreme insecurity after the usurpation, and did not hesitate to implement large-scale repressive rule to ensure the stability of the position he stole.
"Elena, you see, there were not only infantry and cavalry, but also archers on the walls. Wallace whispered with a frown.
"Not only that, but there are some mages hiding in it, you see there. Elena said and pointed to a figure in the tower at the head of the city, this is a man wearing a three-cornered hat, Elena can feel the magic energy from him that cannot be underestimated, and near this city gate, there are at least a dozen such energy, it seems that Trist has made the defense of the capital watertight, I really can't imagine how my father got in.
"It's useless to stay here all the time, let's just bite the bullet and go over, if something happens, let's not hesitate to run first. Wallace said.
"It's good. ”
The two of them took a second look and slowly drove the carriage towards the city gate.
"Stop, what are you doing!"
Sure enough, the carriage of the two was stopped by the guards, and a man in gorgeous armor blocked the way of the two, who looked like he should be the commander of this city gate.
"My lord, we are merchants from Athens, and we are going to the city to do business, you see......" Wallace said with a smile.
"Yes, His Majesty Trist I has ordered that all those who enter the city of Rome be strictly checked, and open the package for us to see, what kind of business you are doing!"
The commander didn't buy it in the slightest, shoved Wallace aside, and said he was about to check the package.
"Well, dear, please open the package and show it to this adult. Wallace cursed in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face, and hurriedly greeted Elena. "We are honest businessmen, and we will never do anything illegal and undisciplined. ”
"Yes, sir, look. ”
Elena opened three parcels, which were a box of spices, a box of brandy, a box of bottled dyes, a box of cotton, spices, dyes and cotton cloth are Arabian specialties, generally from Asia Minor to Athens via the Aegean Sea, and thus into Europe, and brandy is made from wine made from excellent grapes grown around the Aegean Sea.
"Come, my lord, this is a newly brewed Athenian brandy, the weather is so hot, you and these soldier brothers have worked hard, these bottles of brandy, not a tribute, I hope your lord will enjoy a bite of it, and go to the summer." ”
Elena was naturally not an idle person, and took advantage of this moment to pick out a few bottles of brandy and handed them to the commander and these soldiers.
"Yes, yes, you businessmen from the south know the rules. The commander grinned, unceremoniously snatched the brandy from Elena's hand, and touched her white hand.
"Please drink slowly. Elena was disgusted in her heart and scolded many times, but she still didn't show the slightest expression on her face, and continued to smile with her face.
"My lord, there's nothing else in the package but these. "When the soldier was done, he came back and reported.
"I'll just say, a businessman who knows the rules like this must be a good citizen, come, let go!" the commander drank the brandy in the bottle and waved it away, stimulated by the high concentration of alcohol.
Wallace and Elena glanced at each other, and both secretly breathed a sigh of relief, repacked their luggage, and were about to push the cart into the city gate, what did they expect......
"You idiot, who made you drink while on duty!"
An earth-shattering roar came from a distance, so frightened that the brandy bottle in the commander's hand fell to the ground, and when he looked closely, he found a knight in black armor, riding a very majestic horse, galloping from a distance, and without waiting for the horse to slow down, he jumped directly from the horse's back, jumped several meters at once, and landed firmly in front of Wallace's carriage.
"Lord Black, it's hot now, and the little one just took a sip to get rid of the heat, and took a sip......" The commander's wine had already been awakened, and he saluted a standard military salute, and said tremblingly.
"Hmph...... Show me next time, be careful that I'll send you directly to a court-martial!" said the general, named Blake.
"Yes, thank you for your magnanimity...... "The commander said, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead.
"Oops!"
Wallace and Elena glanced at each other, and said secretly in their hearts.
Blake Friedrich, is the chief of guard of Trist I, known as the Dark Knight, who has experienced hundreds of battles and has countless scars on his body, because in a battle of the Kingdom of Lucas to unify Europe, he sacrificed his life to block an arrow shot at Trist, so he was appointed by Trist as his chief of guard, specifically responsible for managing the guards of Rome.
This Blake is not only unfathomable in strength, but also his loyalty to Trist is almost to the point of not recognizing his relatives, and he will brutally carry out all Triste's orders, no matter how brutal this order is, he is also known as Trist's butcher's knife.
"How did this guy appear, what should I do now......" Wallace only felt that it was not good in an instant.
"What's in there?" Blake stared at Wallace's face, his voice cold to the bone.
"We just checked, and it was brandy, spices, dyes, and ......," the commander said, when he was rudely interrupted by Blake.
"I'm asking you. Blake's gaze was still on Wallace, only colder.
"My lord, this is a specialty from Athens, including brandy, spices, dyes, and cloth. Wallace suddenly felt uncomfortable, he had heard of the bravery of the Dark Knight Black, with his current strength, he had a chance of winning with him alone, and even his own father was not as strong as him. "Honey, open the package and show it to the general!"
"Hey!" Elena naturally knew how powerful this guy was, and immediately answered and opened the first package, which was the one full of spices.
"This lady, you seem familiar. A sneer appeared at the corner of Blake's mouth. "Have we met somewhere?"
Elena naturally knows why Blake looks familiar with herself, she is a wanted criminal in the Kingdom of Lucas, although she has been carefully disguised and disguised this time, but the silhouette of the person itself cannot be changed, and it is inevitable that she will be recognized by Blake.
"How is it possible, my lord is a hero of today, how can he know a small man like me......" Elena laughed.
At this point, she had already made a plan in her mind, and once Blake found out who she was, she had to flee immediately.
"......" Blake pondered for a few seconds, but still didn't figure out who the woman in front of him was, so he shook his head and began to check his luggage.
Elena and Wallace both breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked God, but the next thing Blake did made their hearts rise to their throats again!
Blake suddenly unleashed a spell and carefully swept the entire luggage, as if to check for anything unusual in it.
