Chapter 137: Ready to go

"What a huge mistake...... Wallace patted his head. I think there's no light here, right?

"yes, I thought the kitchen was too dim, so I added another lamp temporarily, how about you, you thought you were very familiar with the house, and you tried to sneak up on me, failed?" Elena snickered.

"In that case, if I can't sneak attack, then I'll attack. ”

As he spoke, Wallace directly hugged Elena and a princess in his arms and kissed her deeply......

"Hey, it's a thief, and I'm going to cut the meat......!"

Five minutes later.

"Do you need me to help you?" Wallace took off his coat and hung it on the wall, and turned back to the kitchen.

"Forget it, what else can you do but make trouble for me. Elena gave Wallace a disgusted look, the flush on her face still not subsided. "If it's okay, let's go talk to your father first, he's old and needs someone to accompany him, and I'll greet you when the meal is ready." ”

"Then it's hard for you, Elena. ”

Wallace nodded, and with a creaking sound, he stepped up the old oak staircase to the second floor, and Alina watched him disappear from view without even noticing that the lettuce in his hand had fallen to the ground.

"This guy, hehe......"

A happy smile tugged at the corners of Elena's mouth.

Wallace went to the second floor, went straight to the study at the end of the corridor, opened the door, and found Rex sitting on the sofa continuing to study the "Law Dictionary" in his hand, very engrossed.

"Father, do you really want to be a lawyer?" Wallace sat down on the couch next to him.

"Don't shout in the study. Rex raised an eyebrow and reprimanded. "I used to be a lawyer, and I only changed my career to become a thief after your mother was killed, and you didn't know the Tao on the first day, how many times do you want me to repeat it?"

"I know the way of the road, but you are already of this age, and it is time for you to go out and enjoy the blessings...... Wallace advised.

"People, you have to have something to do, so that you can prove that you are really alive. Rex said meaningfully.

"......" Wallace saw his father put on a serious look again, and naturally knew that he must have something to say to himself next.

"Elena came back this time to help Princess Akali who came back from the East to overthrow Trist's tyranny, but Princess Akali's sister is still in Trist's hands, and if there are hostages in the hands of the other party, they will naturally be restrained, you also know this reason. Rex said slowly. "So Elena wants the two of us to help and rescue Princess Caterina with her, which is why I am in a hurry to call you back. ”

"That's a great thing. Wallace slapped his thigh. "Trist is a brutal character, everyone in Europe knows, but because no one has enough strength to fight against him, or not enough courage to fight against him, so the whole Europa dares to be angry. Now that Princess Rucas I has returned from the East, Trist's evil deeds are likely to be ended. But ......"

Wallace hesitated suddenly.

"But what?" Rex asked rhetorically.

"Although Lucas I is not as brutal as Trist, he is a war maniac, reckless in arms, and successive wars have great harm to the people. Wallace said worriedly. "Princess Akali is said to be only seventeen years old, and although she has been fighting abroad for many years and has a lot of experience, if she is the same person as her father, why should we help her?"

"You're on the point, but I was thinking about it at the beginning. Rex nodded. "But even if we can't trust Princess Akali, we can believe Elena, how much she hates royal power, you know, even she has chosen to be loyal to Princess Akali, then this Princess Akali should not be wrong. ”

"Also, I should trust Elena's choice. Wallace thought for a moment.

"And I have a little bit of my own idea. ”

Wallace noticed that when his father said this, there was a slight request in his eyes.

"What do you think?" Wallace asked.

"Actually, I've always known that you don't really like to be a thief, and for you, you want to be able to stand in the sun rather than be a thief, don't you?" Rex looked at Wallace, as if he could read through his thoughts. "But you inherited the name of Rogue Rex for me, I don't want you to delay your youth in vain for me, an old man, you still have what you have to do, I hope that after this operation, you can join their Knights of the Dawn with Elena, as a noble knight, in the sunshine, no longer have to hide in the dark night. You're different from me, you've not been convicted, so there's no need to have such a hard time......"

Speaking of this, Rex couldn't help but sigh, indescribable vicissitudes and helplessness.

"Father......" Wallace was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what kind of language Lu Dao used to comfort his father, so he had to say: "Shall we talk about this later? If Rogue Rex disappeared like this, everyone would be very sorry." Also, I don't work hard at all, and I'm happy to be as great as my father......"

"Silly boy, don't be reckless, you were raised by me, what do you think in your heart, how can I not know. Rex smiled and patted Wallace on the shoulder. "If you are still willing to listen to my old bones, after this operation, let the name of Rogue Rex disappear, from now on, there will only be Rex the Dawn Knight. ”

“......”

Wallace's heart is doing a hard struggle, indeed, as his father said, he has long been tired of this kind of thief life, unlike his father, Rex longs for the kind of career that can stand in the sun, but he grew up under his father's demeanor, he loves Rogue Rex more than anyone else, so when his father decided not to act because of an injury, he resolutely took over this cloak in the dark night and became the next Rogue Rex.

If for his father, becoming a thief was to avenge his wife and parents, then for himself, becoming a thief was just to keep his father's glory going.

I have to say that Rex's words really shocked Wallace, and he was also asking himself if he really didn't have to bear this name that was both an honor and a burden, and he could be himself with peace of mind, but every time he thought of his father's figure who protected him when he was young, remembered his father's life with his own upheaval, and remembered what his father had done for the people, he couldn't let go, he didn't want to and couldn't, let Rogue Rex disappear.

"But ......"

Wallace was about to say something more when suddenly there was a creaking sound from outside the door, and needless to say, it must have been Elena coming upstairs.

"Teacher, Wallace, dinner is ready, hurry up. ”

Elena's voice came from outside the door.

"Let's get out of the house first. Rex naturally knew that he couldn't convince his son so easily, so it happened that Elena came to beckon the two of them downstairs, so he took this opportunity to end the conversation.

The two of them went to the first floor and found that in the living room, several dishes had been prepared, including brioche bread, bacon sausages, appetizing soups, beer, and a freshly baked roast chicken, exuding an extremely tempting aroma.

"Aha, I'm so happy to see this food!" Wallace only felt his saliva coming out. "I went to Richter Island for half a month, I ate fish every day, and I was tired of dying, and I was finally able to eat something delicious......"

With that, Wallace was about to rush to the dinner table.

"Have you forgotten how I educated you?" Rex shouted from behind. "Eat with the proper manners of a gentleman, and not be like a street scoundrel, regardless of eating and drinking. ”

"Oh, so good, so good......" Wallace looked at the delicacies on the table, and then at the angry and funny Elena next to him, so he had to swallow his saliva into his stomach and sit down at the dining table to eat honestly.

Finally, after eating and drinking, Rex chose to set off overnight to investigate the news of Katarina, and before leaving, he instructed Wallace: "After I get the news, I will inform you as soon as possible, and when the time comes, you bring your equipment and rush over with Elena to meet me, and no one will find out your whereabouts, understand?"

"Yes. Wallace also felt that the task was very important, and he couldn't help but become serious.

"Three days at most, waiting for my news. ”

With that, Rex hurried out of Athens, shrouded in night, with his suitcase, and headed to a place where only he knew the truth.

Three days later.

"So there are so many interesting places in the East?" Wallace listened quietly to Elena's narration, his expression yearning. "I heard you say that Princess Akali has two people from the East around her, and they are very strong?"

Over the course of three days, Elena tells Wallace much of what she has seen and heard during this time, including Princess Akali's Knights of the Dawn and the mysterious Clouds and Fluttershy, as well as their more mysterious homeland.

"Yes, I feel that the strength of the two of them, including the strength of Princess Akali, is already stronger than the two of us, but I am afraid that they will catch up with the master soon. Elena nodded. "Moreover, they use magic that I have never seen before, they can control countless swords to fly in the sky, and they will use all kinds of strange illusions, but those illusions really have the same offensive or defensive effect as real objects!"

"Oh my God, is every one of them so good?" exclaimed Wallace.

"Well, when the time comes, let's go to the East to have a look, won't we know what to do?" Elena's face also showed a look of yearning.

"Well, if I have a chance, I must go to the mysterious East for a walk!" Wallace secretly made up his mind. "And I'm going to take you with me!"

"Okay, that's it. Elena chuckled. "You won't leave me behind!"

"Definitely, definitely!"

At this moment, the magic gold coins placed on the table suddenly glowed brightly.

"Elena, it seems that my father has news!"
