Chapter 62 Farewell(1/2)
The navy soon arrived at the dock and escorted the prisoners on board the ship in an orderly manner.
The honest Colonel Smog did not accept any valuable gifts, but just happily accepted the local specialty oranges given by Nami and Norchigao.
Smoger was going to rush to clean up the corrupt colonel Yu Du, Garen, Nami and Wallace, naturally stayed in Cocoa West Village for the time being.
Coupled with the cheering villagers, the two sides held a lively and touching farewell on the pier.
"Galen!"
Before leaving, Smog called Garen.
"What's the matter?"
Galen kindly responded to the Navy friend who had been separated shortly after he met.
"I thought about it carefully..."
Smoger took a deep sip of the cigar and said seriously:
"Although that sword light is very convincing..."
"But I still don't believe in the 'power of justice' nonsense!"
"Strength is strength, how can there be a distinction between good and bad, good and evil?"
"You're right."
Garen didn't pretend much, but just replied frankly: "There is no distinction between good and evil, only people can do it."
Smog looked at Garen deeply:
"Nevertheless, your behavior is still worthy of the word 'justice'...although it's not as perfect as the reporter wrote."
"I hope you won't go astray in the future."
Garen had no nonsense, but just answered two simple and powerful characters: "Sure."
Smog turned around and Daschi stood in front of Garen with admiration and bowed respectfully to him:
"Senior Galen!"
"Thank you for your guidance to me. I will not relax my practice in kendo."
"come on!"
Galen also cooperated and showed a cheerful look of pleasure, and was even more generous with compliment and encouragement to Daschi:
"My sword of justice has felt the pure heart that you have never seen before."
"kindness?"
Dasqi was slightly shocked, and in a trance, she was praised by Senior Garen, whom she admired, and was a little shy.
"This is the innocent heart of no one among millions of people!"
Galen's praises became less and less likely, but his expression seemed extremely sincere:
"I saw the future of Kendo in you!"
"Senior Galen!"
"I will live up to your expectations!"
Dasqi bowed to Garen again with excitement, and finally finished saying goodbye and turning around and leaving reluctantly.
"Mr. Galen..."
Wallace came over with his laptop and asked curiously:
"What kendo has you taught to Sergeant Daschi? Can you tell me about the concepts in it?"
"this..."
Garen said with a weird look:
"I don't have any specific kendo theory."
"It's all that Dasqi has too high understanding, and it's all up to her own understanding."
"oh..."
Wallace nodded and muttered to himself on his notebook:
"The secret of the East China Sea Knight's kendo has made the naval sword masters suddenly realize it."
Seeing Wallace's usual brushwork, Garen was speechless.
Garen suddenly thought of something and asked Wallace:
"Wallace, aren't you going to go back to Roger Town?"
"No."
Wallace stopped the pen to record and replied seriously:
"I carry a video phone bug and an external fax device with me. I don't need to go back to Roger Town and can also send a press release remotely to the newspaper office for publication."
"And, I want to keep following Lord Garen to report on your great achievements as the Knight of Justice."
"But..."
Galen sighed slightly and said:
"You heard Smog's words just now, and you have been by my side for so long."
"You should have seen clearly whether I am the flawless Knight of Justice, right?"
Wallace pondered for a moment, but smiled:
"Yes, I did see roughly who you are: not a nobleman, nor a flawless knight..."
"But, none of these matters."
“I’ve been looking for big news worth reporting, and you’re the maker of big news.”
“As for your concerns…”
"I wrote in the news that you are the Knight of Justice, and you are the Knight of Justice."
"Um..."
Hearing Wallace's unconventional words, Garen's eyes changed when he looked at him.
Wallace said seriously:
"To put it bluntly, the news figures are all artificially shaped, and there are countless ways for the media to manipulate public opinion orientation."
"In this case, true or false is no longer important. What is important is the publicity role played by the news figures and their deeds."
Wallaceton paused and said with some emotion:
"This sea is filled with legends and stories of all kinds of pirates roaming all over the world and doing things freely."
“The world government and the navy spared no effort to promote their legitimacy as rulers.”
"But, there is no real 'hero' in these stories."
Wallace looked at Garen with a bright look:
"Whether it's true or fake."
"This sea is full of adventurers who pursue personal freedom, evil pirates who harm others and navies who are bribed by the world government. There has never been a knight who preaches justice and practices justice everywhere."
"And what I want to do is to shape you Lord Galen into a simple Knight of Justice, which is different from the pirates and the navy."
"I want those young children to have an option to choose from when they open their mouths and shout out their dreams."
"I see."
Galen understood Wallace’s thoughts and nodded with emotion:
"I will continue to play the role of this Justice Knight."
Having said that, Garen simply spoke out his inner thoughts frankly:
"Then you don't have to keep talking to me respectfully, it sounds like you're not used to it."
"No, Lord Garen!"
Wallace said seriously:
"To make others believe, you have to make yourself believe first."
....................................................................................
Smog and his party finally left by boat, and the sails of the two tall warships gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
Nami turned around and prepared to return to her home in Kokoaxi Village to rest.
Nami looked at Garen who was following closely behind, and felt a little complicated in her heart.
Smoger said right before...
Her hometown was saved by Galen's power.
To be continued...
