Alien Knights

Using the ability of "shaping", Todd turned himself into an ordinary young man, and with Aurora, who was dressed up in disguise, walked out of the gate of the royal city and walked towards the port area.

Walking along the tidy and clean streets, although the rebellion three years ago has long gone, hidden cracks and blackish stains can be vaguely seen on street corners and stone slabs.

Stopping in front of a scorched black wall covered by creepers, Todd sighed softly as he recalled everything that had happened here.

Grabbing her father's hand, Aurora looked at the man known as the "Holy King" with somewhat awed and unfamiliar eyes.

In her memory, Todd, as a father, has been running around and busy since she was born. name.

The wise, loving and omnipotent holy king, his name is like an ancient god, spread in the streets and alleys.

But for Aurora, walking with Todd like this, like a father and daughter, walking on the streets of the city is the first time since she was born.

Todd turned around, smiled at Aurora and said, "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere first."

Originally, Aurora thought that her father would take her to the market, pier or seaport in the port area, but what puzzled her was that Todd took her to a cemetery near the port area first.

On a low hill, there is a cemetery surrounded by flowers and green grass. The environment there is beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and there is no gloomy and coldness in the impression of ordinary people.

Todd stood on the top of the hill, looked at the rows of tombstones in front of him, and said to Aurora: "Everyone buried here gave their lives for this kingdom and this city."

Aurora blinked: "So, the people here are all good people?"

"Yes, they gave up their family happiness with their families, their right to live and enjoy themselves, and sacrificed their precious lives for the well-being of others." Todd said softly: "They are not just good people, they are real people. hero."

Aurora nodded half-understanding, and suddenly asked Todd, "Father, I heard that you are the god of all things. So, which one is greater, a hero or a god?"

Todd squatted down, looked into Aurora's eyes, and said calmly: "If a god only has power but refuses to take responsibility, then he will only appear humble and insignificant compared to a hero."

Todd stroked his daughter's forehead and said with a smile, "Aurora, remember my words, with great power comes great responsibility."

The young Aurora repeated this sentence over and over, her eyes full of puzzlement.

Todd closed his eyes, shook his head slightly and said, "You are still too young now, maybe you can't understand this sentence."

Todd's expression and movements made the ignorant Aurora hang her head, and unconsciously grabbed the corner of the former's clothes.

"Father, I don't want you to be a hero if I can."

Aurora's words stunned Todd for a moment, and the latter opened his eyes and asked, "Why?"

Aurora cast her eyes on the tombstones and said in a low voice: "If the heroes leave their families and are buried here, then I will never see you..."

Todd laughed dumbfounded, followed him and patted Aurora's head and said, "It's not as simple as you think, in fact... Forget it, we'll talk about it later, we've stayed here long enough , it's time to leave."

Aurora nodded, grabbed Todd's hand, and left the hills.

When walking down the hill, Aurora saw a gray-haired old couple with a boy about her own age going to the cemetery to mourn the dead, and couldn't help asking: "Father, your family Is there anyone else here?"

Todd looked into the distance and said softly, "Yes."

"Who is there?"

"There are grandpa, grandma, uncle, uncle..."

Aurora asked confused: "Why do they never come to Muxi City to see Aurora? Is it because they don't like me?"

"No, if they see you, they will definitely like you very much." Todd's face showed sadness and longing: "It's just that the place where they live is too far from here..."

"Far? Is it farther than Muxi City to Gugu City?"

"Farther, much, much farther..."

Aurora raised her head and found that Todd's expression was a bit strange, and said anxiously: "Father, are you angry? Did I say something wrong?"

Todd shook his head, put Aurora on his arm, and said with a smile: "I just remembered some things from the past. Your grandma is my mother. Her best dishes are boiled pork slices and fried Meatballs, every time I cook, the smell of the food is overflowing, and even the neighbors downstairs will knock on the door to beg for food..."

In this way, Aurora, accompanied by Todd, spent a whole day, from the big market full of goods, to the bustling beast enclosure, and then to the spectacular harbor pier, the father and daughter went shopping for most of the day. a port area.

With the bright moon hanging high, Todd returned to the palace with Aurora, who was tired from playing, and fell asleep.

Watching the maid in the palace take Aurora carefully, Deirdre walked slowly in front of her daughter, saw her sleeping like an angel, with a happy smile on her face, and said with relief: "It's been a long time. I have never seen Aurora so happy."

After receiving the wet wipes presented by the servants, Todd wiped his face and neck carelessly, and said to Deirdre: "My daughter is exhausted today, let her sleep late tomorrow, don't disturb her. "

Deirdre opened her mouth, wanting to say something, after thinking about it for a while, she finally nodded in agreement.

Waving all the servants down, Todd shook his slightly stiff neck, just about to stretch, when a knock on the door made him sit up straight.

Evie walked through the door, looking first at Todd, then at Deirdre.

Misunderstood the deep meaning of the other party, Todd said with a wry smile: "It's still very early..."

Evie rolled her eyes at Todd, and said angrily, "Wayne Dunlop came to the palace at noon today and has been waiting for you for a long time."

Todd frowned and stood up from the chair. With Deirdre's help, he put on his robe and said to Evie, "Did you mention why he came to me?"

Leaning against the door frame, Evie shook her head and said, "You should be aware of that freak veterinarian. He thinks that only you can understand what he said."

Todd nodded, kissed Deirdre on the cheek, and then followed Evie to the main hall of the palace.

Wayne Dunlop sat cross-legged on the side corridor of the King's Hall, concentrating on deducing calculations and equations, with a large number of drawings and notes he brought scattered around him.

Todd approached him and found that there were large chalk marks on the ground. It seemed that Wayne had been here for quite a while.

Evie glanced at Todd, shrugged helplessly, and said, "He has been in this state since he arrived here, and he didn't even eat the dinner he brought."

Todd sighed and nodded slightly to indicate that he knew.

Evie stroked Todd's waist with her hands, and smiled: "Come here earlier, you know where to find me..."

After saying this, the Valkyrie walked towards the bedroom without looking back.

Watching the woman's figure disappear into the darkness, Todd carefully bypassed the deduction formulas on the ground, came to Wayne, and asked softly, "Are you looking for me?"

Wayne raised his head in a daze, and the moment he saw Todd, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted, "Your Majesty, I finally found a solution to the improvement of the alien weapon you mentioned earlier."
