Alien Knights

Muxi Palace, King's Audience Room.

Rachel, who was sitting on the sofa, read the report that Karin had just submitted, and said with a smile: "This group of silver ring nobles is really interesting."

Todd stood in front of the window, with his back to the door, staring at the scenery outside without saying a word.

Rachel threw the report on the table, shook her head and said: "In my impression, nobles are just a group of stupid and arrogant guys. Who would have thought that those people would think of trying to restore Back to the stage."

Todd took a long breath: "My original intention was to hope that the citizens would use reason to jointly manage this country, but now I find that Muxi City has really gone further and further away..."

"When human beings no longer have faith in their hearts, money will climb to the top of the pyramid and become the standard by which all values ​​are measured." Rachel lay her body on the sofa, her plump figure perfectly curvy: "Humans have always been They are not purely rational animals, the so-called citizen groups are like a pile of dry wood that has been greased, just a little spark can make them abandon their reason and become the most complete lunatics..."

Todd turned around and pulled out a book from the bookshelf on the table, which was an excerpt of the speech that Myris gave him when he was parting.

Todd opened one of the pages and read softly: "Things like human beings have never gained real freedom. They lack a sense of security in their hearts. They must always find something, believe in it, and obey it." .It's human nature and a weakness of society."

Rachel stared at Todd's face and asked, "What do you want me to do next? I can mobilize members of the Alien Association and secretly execute those nobles."

Todd put down the book, looked at Rachel and said helplessly: "Kill these people, but what about the future? Soon, a new leader of the business group will stand up to run for the cabinet, and a new aristocratic class will enter the stage of history." , playing with the people in the palm of their hands, depriving them of their wealth, squeezing their flesh and blood...their essence will never change."

Rachel looked at Todd, and asked calmly: "So what should Muxi City do now?"

Todd sat on the chair, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, the expression on his face was serious and serious like never before.

"At the beginning, in order to seek the survival of the kingdom, I designed two completely different paths for Muxi City and Froststone City. For Muxi City, I tried to weaken the role of religion, cleared the traces of theocracy in human beings, and tried to awaken human beings. Rationality; for Froststone City, I used the soul space to build a sanctuary, so that believers can believe in the cycle of cause and effect and the law of good and evil... The result is..."

Rachel snapped her fingers: "Froststone won, didn't it? Facts have proved that human beings need powerful gods as a pillar of belief, and the so-called rationality is just an excuse to cause chaos."

Standing up from the sofa, Rachel walked slowly in front of Todd, knelt down and looked up at him: "Todd, when you try to distribute power to the citizens, the ones who really benefit are those who hide in the dark." If you don’t get rid of them now, the kingdom you built will sooner or later be reduced to the same fate as the Silver Ring Kingdom.”

Todd lowered his head and looked at the woman's picturesque face: "Sometimes some lumps grow on the patient's skin. At the beginning, these lumps were hidden under the skin. The doctor's suggestion is not to remove it temporarily. Wait for it It grows slowly, and when it reaches the outside of the skin, it will be eradicated at once with surgery... Rachel, I not only want to get rid of these nobles, but also perform an operation on the entire Muxi City..."

After thinking for a while, Rachel understood the deep meaning of the other person's words: "Todd, I have nothing against you doing this, but you must know that such words will involve the entire Muxi City."

Todd shook his head and said: "The current Muxi City is already riddled with holes. If the road of reason does not work, then we can only let the storm of faith sweep everything."

Rachel stood up and nodded, "I understand. Now that you have made your decision, I will arrange everything."

The two were about to say something more, when a guard knocked on the door.

"Your Majesty, the Queen of the Holy Acropolis wants to meet with you."

Todd frowned: "The Queen of the Holy Acropolis? Mary? What is she doing here at this time?"

Rachel blinked at Todd: "Need to say? When she heard the news of your return to Muxi City, she must have come here specially to see you."

Hearing Rachel's slightly teasing tone, Todd said with a wry smile, "Queen Mary and I are not what you imagined...Forget it, you might as well stay and listen to what she wants to say."

Rachel gave a malicious smile: "I'll stay, but not here."

After saying this, she walked into the side sleeping room of the audience room, closed the door, and waited quietly for the good show to unfold.

About five minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the audience room, and the guard's voice sounded again: "Your Majesty, the Queen of the Holy Acropolis has arrived."

"Please come in."

"yes."

When Mary walked into the room, Todd, who hadn't seen her for a long time, suddenly had the illusion that the room was illuminated.

A head of silk-like smooth long hair was coiled on top of the head, a pair of bright moon-like eyes looked forward to shine, and crystal-clear skin like snow jade, so white that it was dazzling under the sunlight.

In Todd's memory, Mary's beauty had left a deep impression on him, but after not seeing her for a while, her beauty has not faded in the slightest, and it is even more amazing.

Mary walked into the room and looked at the familiar man in front of her. There was no exchange of greetings or greetings. She just saluted and sat on the chairs prepared by the guards.

Looking at Mary's expressionless face, Todd sighed softly: "Mary, I don't remember having a face-to-face conversation like this for a long time."

Mary's voice was soft and quiet, but the meaning in her words was full of gunpowder: "Your Majesty, I don't know whether I should praise your busyness or marvel at your neglect of duty. For more than a year, you have never returned The throne of Muxi City, let this city gallop like a wild horse..."

Todd gave a wry smile: "Mary, things are not what you think, I have been..."

Mary stretched out her hand to stop Todd's defense: "I didn't come here to listen to your explanation. I came here to warn you of possible danger."

Mary took out a letter from her sleeve and put it on Todd's desk.

"What's this?"

"Three days ago, Gordon of White River Fort intercepted a letter. The recipient was the leader of the Blood Curse Mercenary Group. Most of the contents of the letter were codes and secret words. But generally speaking, it was about some People, plan to cooperate with the mercenary group, which is not good for the kingdom."

After saying this, Mary stood up from her seat, and said coldly: "I have finished what I want to say, and there are still many things waiting for me to deal with in the Holy Acropolis."

"Mary, wait!"

Todd walked up to Mary and said gratefully: "I am very grateful to you for sending this letter. This is very important news for me..."

Mary looked at Todd, stood still for a moment, her mouth was slightly opened, and there was a little softness and hesitation in her eyes.

When Mary lowered her head and glanced across the ground inadvertently, she was taken aback by a faint footprint.

Glancing at the half-covered side door of the bedroom, Mary pursed her lips tightly, with sadness and pain flashing across her face.

"Your Majesty, please take care."

After leaving this sentence, Mary walked out of the room without looking back.

Todd looked at Mary's leaving figure in astonishment, and couldn't figure out how her mood would change suddenly.

Rachel pushed open the door, stared at the direction of the door, put her chin on her hand and thought for a while.

Todd shrugged and said to Rachel: "As you can see, I really have nothing to do with her..."

Rachel gave Todd a supercilious look, moved towards the gate, and left a word before leaving.

"You really don't understand women."
