Alien Knights

A good night's sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Rachel and Todd packed their bags, bought a camel from a peddler with all their belongings, and continued towards the western port of Anuda.

The desert is boundless, and at a glance, it is full of yellow sand.

Holding the rein with both hands, Todd, who was sitting behind the woman, looked at the hot air in the distance and said, "Rachel, in your impression, what does my hometown look like?"

"You mean the kingdom of heaven?"

Rachel rested her chin on her right hand, said while thinking: "There is a picturesque but highly developed world. People live in cities above the clouds, and there are all kinds of magical machines, food and other things in their lives. And the drinks are unbelievably delicious. Plus, the people there love to sing, dance, take risks, research and learn.”

Todd asked with a wry smile, "Are you seeing these messages from the soul space?"

"That's right, there are many videos from a channel called Discovery, which introduces the natural scenery and customs of the kingdom of heaven in great detail. I have watched almost every episode, and I can still remember many places clearly."

Todd nodded helplessly. In his previous life, Discovery Channel was indeed his favorite program, so it is not surprising that a large number of related videos are stored in the soul space. But the problem is that most of the programs Todd watched in his previous life only mentioned the beauty of the earth, and rarely touched on the history and society, which also caused Rachel to be in the soul space. Little is known about people's livelihood.

When it comes to natural scenery, Rachel stretched out her fingers and pulled them one by one, counting all the treasures: "If I can reach the kingdom of heaven, the places I want to go are Santorini in the Aegean Sea, the snow mountains of Tyrol in Austria, Milan, Lake Como, Italy... and..."

Rachel turned her head, lightly smiled and kissed Todd on the chin, then leaned her body into the other's arms, and whispered: "The place you lived, the place you worked, you Everywhere where footprints have been left..."

"Todd, you know what? You and your world are the only hope to support me to go on."

Feeling the existence of the woman in his arms, Todd felt as if the sun was shining into his heart, and his whole body was immediately wrapped in warmth, and his tiredness and sleepiness were swept away.

Unable to destroy the beauty and yearning in Rachel's heart, Todd lowered his head and said softly: "On the street where I live, there is an old shop that has been open for more than ten years. The pastries made by the old couple are special. Delicious. Also, in the university where I work, there is a lake called Late Autumn. There is a gazebo in the middle of the lake. In summer, you can see lotus flowers in the pond, which is very beautiful..."

Rachel didn't speak, just quietly listening to Todd talk about everything about his previous life.

Those lingering scenery, those irresistible delicacies, those hilarious past events...

Two people, a camel, and a desert are frozen into a permanent picture, which remains in the eternal memory.

The journey will eventually come to an end.

As the sun went down, Todd and Rachel finally reached the Ayyubid port of Anudah.

As the largest port on the west coast of the empire, Anuda Port has experienced countless wars, with a population of 260,000 and hundreds of ships moored in the port, all showing the world the unimaginable vitality of this city.

Riding a camel to the gate of the city, Rachel tugged on La Todd's sleeve, signaling the latter to stop first.

Todd asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

"Something's wrong." Rachel frowned and said, "The number of guards at the gate of the city is much more than before, and the inspection is much stronger than before. Looking at it like this, I'm afraid there is no way to easily enter the city." inside."

Todd asked in a low voice, "Is it because of us?"

Rachel shook her head: "It's unlikely, the news about us escaping from the Council of Elders couldn't spread here so quickly, and Eleanor doesn't have the ability to use the empire's troops... there must be someone any other reason."

Todd patted the camel under him, and suggested in a low voice: "Why don't we change the course? Take a boat from another port to the north?"

"Another port closest to Anuda City is also 300 kilometers away. It will take ten days to drive there. What's more, the longer we stay in the empire, the more dangerous it will be." Rachel got off the camel Jumped down: "And, in this city, there are people I'm looking for."

Rachel wrapped her turban tightly, motioned Todd to get off the camel first, and then walked towards the vendor area at the gate of the city.

She found an old farmer who was over half a century old and had a few conversations with him. The old farmer glanced at Todd's direction, then got up and left the stall, and found another merchant in silk.

The businessman with a white scarf on his head and a mustache walked over slowly following Rachel. Without looking at Todd, he walked around the camel and casually gave a number.

Rachel shook her head vigorously, argued with the other party for a long time, and finally reached an agreement.

Rachel first handed the camel's reins to the merchant, and then beckoned Todd to follow the merchant's footsteps.

The two mixed into the merchant's convoy in this way, passed the interrogation at the gate of the city, and entered the city of Anuda smoothly.

Walking on the bustling streets of the city, Rachel looked at Todd's curious face, smiled and said in a low voice: "I told the businessman that we are a couple from the Semites. Because of the relationship, I had to leave the tribe and enter the city to seek livelihood. As a result, I sold the camel to the merchant at a low price, and the other party agreed to take the two of us into the city."

Todd asked in surprise, "Do you speak Semitic?"

"Not much, but enough." Rachel walked through the city with ease, every path, every secret door seemed as familiar to her as the back garden of her home.

The two spent about half an hour, and finally came to the door of a dilapidated tavern.

Looking at a drunk man lying at the entrance of the tavern, coughing loudly while holding a wine bottle, vomit was still overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

Todd squeezed his nose and mouth tightly, trying not to let his stomach be affected by the sour smell in the air.

Rachel opened the door and walked into the tavern. In the dark and simple shack, she walked behind the bar and woke up the drowsy tavern owner, and said a few words to the latter.

The tavern owner with a stubbled face and a dejected expression suddenly regained his spirits. He walked nimbly into the back kitchen and knocked on the floor a few times.

Looking at all this, Todd felt rather curious in his heart. He had already started to guess repeatedly, who exactly was Rachel going to meet?

Following behind the tavern owner, Todd and Rachel entered a secret passage in the vegetable cellar, and finally came to a collapsed basement.

Pushing open a false wooden door, a plainly dressed girl poked her head out from the crack of the door and looked at the people outside the door.

When she saw the appearance of Rachel and Todd, the girl opened her eyes involuntarily, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Oh my god!"

Todd looked at the strange-looking girl and asked strangely, "You know me?"

"The ruler of the Muxi Kingdom, the son of the gods in the northern lands, the savior of the alien race..."

The girl gave a standard greeting to Todd and said with a smile, "We meet again."

Just when Todd looked puzzled, Rachel revealed the answer: "This is the third pick of Legion of Discord, an old acquaintance of yours—Sabrina."
