Alien Knights

Todd said to Rachel: "We will discuss the black plague later."

The latter blinked: "Is there anything in the kingdom that worries you again?"

Todd signaled the scholars to cover the iron cage with black cloth again, turned to Rachel and said, "Let's talk as we walk."

Walking out of the door of the underground laboratory, the two of them walked into a bright underground corridor, guarded by a group of knights.

Looking at the unique glass lamps on both sides of the corridor, Rachel said thoughtfully: "These lamps on the wall are very similar to those in the soul space."

"The appearance design refers to the wall lamp of my previous life, and the internal structure adopts the principle of Tesla's parasite electric board, which is the design of Terrence and Wayne."

Looking at the bright lamps above his head, Todd said with emotion: "In my previous life, there was such a famous saying. Technological progress often comes from two major characteristics of human beings."

"Which two?"

"The first one is laziness."

Todd's words made Rachel laugh: "You are right, what about the other one?"

A group of knights walking in front of the queue pushed open the door of the passage at the end, knelt on one knee, and waited for the king to pass.

Todd stepped out of the door, looked at the blue sky outside, and said softly: "The other one is... belligerent."

Rachel looked at Todd, and the melancholy look on his face made her slowly stop smiling.

After passing three heavily guarded checkpoints, Todd left a research building guarded by the army and walked into the campus of Muxi University.

A group of boys and girls aged eighteen or nineteen had just finished their morning classes, holding books and walking towards the dormitory with laughter.

The sudden appearance of the king's honor guard on the road startled these young people.

In a hurry, they quickly stepped aside and knelt down by the roadside.

Among them, a young girl with strong curiosity raised her head to glance at the king, but then buried her head in panic.

Todd whispered as he walked, "These kids remind me of the old days."

Rachel tilted her head and asked, "San Sidro Monastery?"

"No...it will take longer." Todd sighed faintly: "The past period was like a dream, but now life is more real."

Rachel held Todd's hand without leaving a trace, and said gently: "We once said that when everything here is over, we will set off to your world."

Todd repeated Rachel's words softly: "When everything here is over..."

Rachel exerted a little force on her hands and said firmly: "When you have fulfilled your obligations as a king, it is time to leave."

Todd said nothing.

Rachel continued: "You can't protect this world forever, or do you just don't want to leave?"

Todd took Rachel's hand and pulled her closer to him.

"I clearly understand that I cannot protect this world forever. What I can do now is to try my best to build a balanced, effective, and long-term operating mechanism for this world. As you can see, the soul-containing The kingdom of heaven, the scales that judge good and evil, and even using the power of ancient gods are all part of the way to achieve my goals.”

Rachel rested her head gently on Todd's arm and asked in a low voice: "I see your efforts."

"I have watched every brick, brick and tile, every plant and tree of this kingdom grow up with my own eyes. I hope to try my best to protect it all, even if I don't know whether the path for the future is correct..."

Rachel looked up at Todd and said firmly: "No matter what you do, you must believe in yourself."

Todd let out a long breath: "Stop talking about me. I haven't seen you for a long time. What have you been doing recently?"

Rachel said: "Do you remember those notes from the Presbyterian Church?"

"Adrian's notes? Yes, I remember."

"And the Book of the Gods presented by Maeve, Queen of Connacht?"

"I probably have some impression."

Rachel said: "I copied out all the information in these documents related to the Battle of God's Choice, Absolute Will, changes in time and space, etc."

"In addition, I went to two places with the help of the Xenomorph Association."

"Where?"

"One is the Valkyrie Village on the North Island, and the other is the underground cave in the Kingdom of Shadows."

Todd was stunned: "I remember one of these two places..."

"Beacon Tower."

Rachel then said: "However, the beacon tower in the Valkyrie Village has stopped responding, and the beacon tower in the Kingdom of Shadows is located on the bottom of the sea and is inaccessible at all."

"So, the research on the beacon tower did not go well, and it also cost the lives of several alien species."

Todd wondered: "How did those alien species die?"

"I remember you said that the land and water around the beacon tower are highly poisonous, and anyone who comes close will quickly lose their vitality. Therefore, some alien species that are resistant to the poison are trying to get close to the beacon tower. Unexpectedly, they all died violently in the end.”

Todd said with a big head: "Rachel, listen to me, the poison I am talking about is not a miasma, it is actually a radioactive element that can cause harm to the human body... Forget it, you'd better not Don’t let anyone get close to that place again.”

Rachel felt a little aggrieved: "Todd, do you think I ordered those alien species to die?"

Before Todd could speak, Rachel continued: "The members of the Alien Association, their ancestors have been hunted, humiliated, oppressed and infighting since the ancient Tyro Empire. For them, this world is , this land has long lost its appeal.”

"Finding a new world and starting a new life is their only goal for survival and their only hope for the future."

Todd didn't understand: "I established this kingdom to protect everyone, including aliens. Don't they want to stay?"

Rachel stared into Todd's eyes and said word by word: "The only prerequisite for this kingdom to provide shelter for everyone is you. But have you ever thought about who will continue if you leave the kingdom one day? Protect those helpless alien species?"

Todd rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, his face full of confusion. Just when he was about to continue asking about the Alien Association's plans, the knight on the side reminded him: "Your Majesty, the carriage has arrived."

Todd looked around and realized that the group of people had unknowingly arrived at the gate of Muxi University.

Looking at the huge square, thousands of people kneeling on the ground in the darkness, unable to even hear the whispering, Todd sighed.

He said to Rachel: "We need to have a good chat sometime."

The latter nodded, and under the gaze of everyone, put down the hood of his cloak and disappeared into the streets.
