Alien Knights

In the inner city of Muxi City near the port, there is a low hill, which is different from the surrounding buildings and magnificent mansions. There are not many buildings on this hill, and some are just a quiet garden. And a solemn cemetery.

As an unwritten practice, those who have the right to sleep in this cemetery after death are those who have made special contributions to the Muxi Kingdom.

And two months ago, the war that took place in Lonely Rock City brought twenty-seven new "residents" to this cemetery.

In a sea of ​​flowers under the moon, a woman in a dress, black gauze on her head, and a metal collar around her neck stopped before the tombstone, speechless for a long time.

She squatted down, placed the bouquet in her arms in front of the tombstone, and stretched out her hand to gently stroke the name on the inscription.

"Randall Quincy"

The woman whispered the name repeatedly, and the thousand words finally turned into a low sigh.

Standing up and taking a last look at the tombstone, the woman turned around and lowered her head, leaving this sad place with endless grief.

At the entrance of the cemetery, the tall orc Carol, wearing a large cloak, sat on the grass and stared blankly at the moon above his head, with indelible confusion in his eyes.

Seeing the woman's appearance out of the corner of his eyes, Carroll quickly stood up, looked at her gently, and asked in a low voice, "Barbara, are you going back?"

The woman ignored him, raised her skirt, stepped out of the gate of the cemetery, and walked down the mountain.

Carol followed her step by step, wanting to get closer, but hesitated again and again, and slowed down.

Barbara walked on the dark alley, and heard the laughter of the citizens in the big square. She looked at the brightly lit night market through layers of black veils. On the open-air stage, a bard played the luge and sang joyful music, which made her stop.

"Her eager eyes stirred my dreams like night rain, and my singing voice ran on the hesitant strings, chasing her heart..."

Listening to this wonderful music, Barbara opened her mouth slightly, but her raised hands touched the metal ring around her neck, and she seemed to lose all her strength in an instant. Finally, she turned around slowly, escaping into the darkness, away from the crowd.

A man and a woman, one in front of one and one behind, the two were speechless, just walking forward in the dark.

Back in Wayne Dunlop's underground laboratory, the depressed Barbara returned to her room and closed the door forcefully.

The loud sound of closing the door startled both Carol and Aldernan outside the door.

Aldernan turned his head to look at Carol, and asked, "Did she not say a word to you all day today?"

Carroll hung his head in frustration, and sat down against the wall.

Ardenan rubbed his chin and said, "Two months ago, we rescued her from the battlefield. Maybe it was a mistake... Although her body is still alive, her heart is dead."

Carol shook her head: "The moment she fell down, I couldn't just sit back and ignore her."

Aldernan shrugged: "I understand that she was hit by a musket at that time, her wound was inflamed, and her life was dying. We had no choice but to seek help from Mr. Dunlop...although the latter used the tyrant potion to save her , but her body..."

Carol hugged her head in pain: "Barbara now has lost everything she cherishes, and it's all my fault."

Seeing the remorse on the orc's face, Aldernan scratched his head and tried his best to comfort him: "Think about it, at least she is not like the time when she first came here, thinking about ending her life every day... This is also considered A step forward..."

The closed door was suddenly opened, and Barbara, wearing a black veil, asked the two sitting there, "Where is Wayne Dunlop?"

Carroll hurriedly stood up and replied: "Mr. Dunlop is working in the dock, and he may not come down recently."

Barbara turned around and said coldly, "I'll go find him!"

Aldernan rushed in front of her, and hurriedly said: "Oh, Miss Barbara, don't be so anxious! You must know that there are many "idle people" in the upper dock. If we let them see us , the consequences would be disastrous."

Barbara stared into the werewolf's eyes, and said firmly: "I don't care that much! I want to see him today!"

Aldernan made an apologetic gesture: "Miss Barbara, please don't be so self-willed, I know that changing a new face may be a bit uncomfortable for you. But things always have to look for the better... For example, your current appearance is much better than the two of us... Hey! What are you doing?!"

With the palms of Barbara facing up, there was a light blue light on her body. The torch on the wall flickered, and two groups of bright flames were instantly formed in her hands.

The werewolf's panic was reflected in her pupils, and Barbara suddenly raised her hands upwards, and the flames rose instantly, turning into two bright and fiery pillars of fire.

The pillar of fire continued to grow, bigger and brighter, and finally almost approached the ceiling of the corridor.

"I surrender! I surrender!" Aldernan stepped back quickly, shaking his arms and shaking his head, as if he was afraid that the irritable lady in front of him would vent his anger on him in the next second.

"It's really an astonishing ability!"

An exclamation sounded at the end of the corridor.

The three of them followed the sound and saw Wayne Dunlop, who was wearing a lab coat, walking slowly.

Seeing this person, Barbara's voice was full of anger and distress: "It's you! I hate you! Why did you make me look like this!"

Before she finished speaking, she threw her arms back, and the two pillars of fire deformed and twisted, turning into an attacking posture.

Wayne Dunlop shook his head, took out a strange-looking whistle from his pocket, put it to his mouth and blew it forcefully.

The magic rings around the necks of Carroll, Aldernan and Barbara were instantly activated by the whistle, and the hidden spikes pierced into the necks of the three, and special potions were injected into their bodies, causing the three people to suffer from pain. Falling to the ground, struggling constantly.

Wayne put away his whistle, looked at Barbara and said helplessly: "When your life was about to disappear, I saved you from the hands of death, not to mention you have gained power that ordinary people can't imagine, tell me, you What else is there to be dissatisfied with?"

Supporting her body with her arms, Barbara struggled to get up. Hearing this, she angrily took off the black veil from her head, threw it at Wayne's feet, and shouted loudly: "But you have turned me into a This look!"

Barbara, who had lost the cover of the black veil, could still vaguely see the previous appearance on her face, but her appearance became more beautiful than before. Her skin lost its proper blood color and became as white as milk, and faint blue light could be seen in the blood vessels, as dazzling as a luminous tattoo... Apart from these changes, there was another most important thing about her appearance. An obvious feature, her ears are no longer the round shape of a human being, but have become a strange slender pointed ear.

Aldernan, who was lying on the ground, looked at Barbara's appearance, approached Carroll beside him, and whispered, "To be honest, I think she looks much better now than before."

Looking at the woman with an angry face, Wayne rubbed the center of his brows with a headache, walked along the corridor to the door of the laboratory, opened the door, and said to the three people not far away: "Come here , I have made some new discoveries about the changes in your bodies."
