Chapter 142: Caterina

The three of them returned to the entrance of the garden, quietly snooped around, and after making sure that there was no problem, they moved forward while dodging the trap.

"Well, there are so many traps in this small garden, if someone usually strays into this place, wouldn't it be the end of it directly?" Wallace looked at the traps that could be seen everywhere in the grass, and couldn't help but smack his tongue in his heart, I really don't know how much this Trist values the safety of the royal city.

"Trist doesn't care about the lives of ordinary servants and soldiers, so many traps and gardeners come to prune and clean them every day, it's like making them dance on the tip of a spear, and the slightest mistake will kill them. Elena's face was full of disdain.

At this time, the three of them put on a strange pair of glasses and walked carefully in the garden, the shape was indescribably strange. In fact, the lenses of these glasses also have a special magic attached to them, which can see the fluorescent powder sprinkled by Elena, but people who do not wear such special glasses cannot see it at all.

And the glowing magic powder, after seeing a strong light, like daylight, will decompose, and naturally avoid this special formula from being discovered by others.

As Elena marked the traps along the way, the three of them slowly advanced to the other side of the garden, and by this time, they could already see Katerina's dormitory in the distance.

"The defenses of this garden are not difficult to break through, they are just static traps, and they do not pose a threat to us at all. Wallace couldn't help but feel a little smug.

"Even these traps are already dangerous. "Rex doesn't see it that way. "All traps are coated with poison that seals their throats with blood, and magic traps have flares that rise into the air as soon as they are activated, and both are so hidden that ordinary people can't even detect them. ”

"But, teacher, I still find it a little strange. Elena's voice interrupted the argument.

"What's weird?"

"I don't know if you noticed, there wasn't a single guard in the entire garden, including the two gates of the garden......" Elena couldn't figure this out. "There are countless traps here, but in the end this is only a static defense, and it is not very useful, so the defense of the garden is very weak compared to other places. And as far as I know, Trist is not only brutal, but also synonymous with cunning, and there is definitely no such a big mistake, what is this for......"

"Generally speaking, there are only two possibilities without guards. Rex said pertinently. "One is that this place is so safe that there is no need for people to guard it, which is obviously impossible, and the second point is that this place is so dangerous that the guards can't guard it, and entering is death......"

"Could it be that the reason why there are no guards here, is that?"

Wallace's fingers trembled, and the place he pointed at was the center of the flowerbed, and then the three of them noticed that inside the flowerbed, there was a huge poisonous snake with a length of five meters, which was spitting snake letters and staring at the three strange intruders, slowly swimming over, as if ready to launch a fatal blow.

"It's a viper, a viper!" said Elena, panicking. "No wonder this garden is not guarded by guards, even if there are guards, it will definitely be eaten by this man-eating beast!"

"Viper, is it the kind of poisonous snake that is native to Africa?" Wallace had also heard of the viper, and now that such a terrifying killer was in front of his eyes, how could he not let him feel a chill!" "Elena, let's strike first, kill this guy with a bow and arrow first, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with it in this kind of place full of traps!"

"That's right,......" said Elena, drawing her longbow and about to shoot it......

"No!" Rex suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly stopped. "If we kill this viper, we're afraid we'll be found out right away. If I'm right, the viper is one of Trist's terrifying pets, designed to guard the garden, and during the day Trist feeds it to hibernate and sleeps, but at night the hunger pangs wake it up and wander around it. ”

"No wonder I smelled something unusual near the garden, could it be from snake repellent?" asked Elena.

"That's how it should be. Rex continued. "The life of this viper is only afraid that it has been closely monitored by Trist's people, as long as the viper loses consciousness or dies, the alarm of the royal city will be sounded immediately, we can't kill or stun it at all, only by temporarily deterring or confusing it, it is possible to have a trace of life and escape from here." ”

"And what are we going to do?" Wallace was about to go crazy, this night's experience, from climbing over the wall to drilling into the sewers, to being hung on the city wall for twenty minutes, finally could catch his breath, but he encountered this poisonous giant snake!

"The snake's vision is not very good, and since the soldiers can't see us, the giant snake can't see us either. Elena suddenly thought of something and said.

"Then it didn't see us, why is it grinning at us?" Wallace couldn't help but retreat as he saw the serpent getting closer and closer, but he was still afraid of stepping on the trap, and he was very nervous at this time.

"That's because snakes use temperature to sense their prey, so they can catch their prey in the dark of night. Elena explained.

"Temperature?" Wallace wondered.

"You don't know what to do, do you?" said Elena. "Snakes can tell where there is prey based on the temperature of the surrounding environment, and now there are only three of us around, so the viper will immediately detect us, as long as we lower the body temperature, or use some means to shield the body temperature, this viper will not find us. ”

"Really?" said Wallace, overjoyed. "I didn't expect you to know so much!"

"That's natural, you think everyone is as uneducated as you are!" Elena glared at Wallace in disgust.

"Ahem, let's hurry up anyway, just use ice armor. ”

Wallace chanted the incantation, and a barrier of frost suddenly appeared around him, followed by Elena and Rex, all of whom were shrouded in ice armor.

"Whew...... Fortunately, I didn't get lazy in my usual magic practice. Wallace let out a sigh of relief as he looked at the viper in the distance, confused by the loss of his target. "But this armor is really cold, let's get out of this place of right and wrong, I don't want to stay here for a second. ”

The three of them cautiously left the garden, and in the end the poisonous snake did not chase after it, after passing through the barrier formed by the snake repellent, the three of them removed the ice armor, looked around, and found that Katarina's dormitory was close in front of them, and a window on the second floor, which was open, shining with a faint light, must be the location of the target.

"It's so cold...... Elena was still shivering after removing the ice armor.

"Shall I keep you warm, then?" said Wallace and was about to hug him, but was dodged away by Elena.

"The task is not over yet, let's get down to business. ”

"And what about when the mission is over?"

“...... How do you want to die?"

Rex ignored the bickering between the two, and after finally confirming that it was correct, he beckoned, "Let's go in first and meet the target, it's too dangerous to hang out here!"

"Yes!"

After evading the last patrol of guards, the three of them quietly climbed the wall on the second floor and leaped into the room.

"Oh my God...... Elena was the first to jump in, stunned.

Very gorgeous decoration, from this huge room and a variety of valuable building materials, you can see that this must be a princess's room, and at this time, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old blonde girl dressed in gorgeous aristocratic clothing, was sitting on a chair looking down at a book, heard a voice coming from the window, looked up, found that it was a woman in black, immediately stood up, and asked in surprise: "Is it Sister Elena?"

"Your Majesty Princess Katarina?" Elena didn't expect that the princess of this royal family would be so unpretentious, and she would directly call herself by such a title, and she felt a little moved in her heart for a while, after all, in the hierarchical Western society, such a thing is simply unimaginable.

"It's me, I heard Uncle Bartley say that the famous Rogue Rex is coming to my rescue, is that right?" Caterina closed the book and walked over, and at this time Rex and Wallace also turned it over, and the room suddenly crowded into a large number.

"I won't break such a precious carpet...... Wallace couldn't help but be a little nervous when he entered the princess's bedroom for the first time, and even his steps seemed cautious.

"Where, you took such a risk to save me, I thank you that it's too late, what is the carpet?" Caterina couldn't help but laugh at the funny thief Rex in front of her. "I've heard of this outfit, but why are there two Rogue Mister Rex?"

"That's right, Your Highness Princess. Rex maintained the etiquette of a gentleman, took off the hat on his head, put it on his chest, bowed deeply, and said: "I'm Elkins Rex, a long-retired Rogue Rex, and this is my son, Wallace Rex, who is now Rogue Rex." ”

"It's two gentlemen, it's really an honor to meet you!" If Elkins Rex gives Caterina the impression that he is a personable uncle, Wallace Rex is a lively but very interesting young man, she is naturally the idol of Rogue Rex like most aristocratic girls, and now, two generations of Rogue Rex have appeared here to save herself, and the excitement in her heart is overflowing.
