Alien Knights

Todd looked at the flight route on the screen again, thinking about the feasibility of the plan, and finally said: "Maybe...you can try it."

Rachel clenched his right fist and held his chin: "There is another problem. There are no ships suitable for oceangoing sailing in Muxi Shipyard. The warships of the North Islanders have shallow draft and fast speed, but they are not suitable for long-distance sailing; their cargo ships can travel long distances, but they are bulky and heavy, and the speed is too slow. What we need is a small sailboat, which is safe and reliable, and the most important thing is fast."

Todd thought for a while, and replied: "There may be one of these ships right now."

"In that case, the ship should be fine." Rachel turned off the screen: "The rest is some preparation work, supplies, tools, weapons and connectors."

"You plan to go together?!"

Rachel gave him a strange look: "Of course I want to follow you."

"What about the management of the alien race? What about the alien factory?"

"Karin is already able to take care of herself. Besides, the alien species in Muxi City have stabilized, and there are not too many affairs. As for the factory, all production is on the right track, and even if I'm not around, it won't have any impact."

Seeing that the other party had made up his mind, Todd also gave up persuading, and began to prepare a series of preparations before the trip with Rachel.

The first is the link person in the soul space. Since there will be a long period of time in the future, I will not be in Twilight City (and may never come back). Therefore, it is extremely important to determine the object of the soul link.

Important figures in those kingdoms, such as Huggins, Alfonso, Joe, Brunhild, Karin, Dion, etc., are all objects of soul links.

Todd was still a little worried, and it would take some time to convince them to accept the link. To his surprise, almost everyone agreed immediately, and some even cheered loudly and expressed gratitude after receiving the king's request.

After dealing with the soul link, Todd began to turn his attention to the vehicle.

The existing shipbuilding technology in Muxi City is not enough to build ocean-going clippers, and Todd has to focus on other ships in the port.

An armed sailboat named "Black Pearl" entered his field of vision.

This small fast boat made by the Abbasid Empire is light and strong, and it is the best choice in terms of speed, steering, and concealment.

The most important thing is that the captain of this fast boat has experience in sailing in the north, and she is the daughter of Frederick Barbarossa—Aisha.

However, when negotiating with her, there was a little trouble...

"What? You mean the ambush plan was aborted?!"

Aisha looked at King Muxi behind the table, frowned, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, this is different from what we said in advance."

Todd tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, and said casually: "Thank you for the information you provided. Under the mediation of the Muxi Kingdom, the North Islanders, the Claw Tribe and the Blackhead Tribe have agreed to transfer part of the sea trade share in exchange for the support of other small tribes in the North Island."

Aisha bit her lips tightly, holding onto the black robe tightly with both hands.

She never imagined that her intelligence would become a stone in the foot, and that the two tribes would give up the way of sea trade and eat alone in exchange for the support of other Beidao tribes.

Aisha looked at King Muxi in front of her, and her eyes seemed to burst into flames: "Your Majesty, I believe you have put a lot of thought into this, right?!"

Todd smiled and took out a bag of coins from under the table, and opened the pouch: "Aisha, I am a generous person. The information you provided has helped me a lot, and I will naturally repay you. Here are 50 silver moons."

Aisha took a closer look, and the shiny coins in the bag made her face lighten up, and she put away the money bag while muttering.

"Your Majesty, you still can't trust me after all." Aisha shook her head, turned around regretfully, and planned to leave.

Todd took out another money bag of the same size from under the table and put it heavily on the table: "On the contrary, I have a more important task for you."

Aisha turned her head and looked at the king with a puzzled expression.

"An escort mission. Muxi Kingdom has two very important guests, and they need to go to the north as soon as possible."

Ayisha shook Yinyue on her waist, shook her head and said, "This small bag of money is not enough for me to complete the escort mission."

Todd kept a smile on his face: "This is just a deposit, and I will pay you ten times the deposit after the matter is completed."

"Ten times?!" Aisha gasped, and after a while, she asked vigilantly, "Where are those two going?"

"The Land of Shadows."

Surprised, Aisha let the purse in her hand slip to the ground, but she still didn't notice it.

"The Kingdom of Shadows?! You must be crazy!" Aisha took two steps back and said with a sneer, "If you want to commit suicide, you might as well choose a rope! I will never die for you for hundreds of silver moons!"

"Silver Moon?" Todd laughed loudly. He untied the purse on the table, revealing the dazzling golden light inside: "Miss Hayreddin, these are genuine Jin Xu!"

"Gold coins?" Aisha was attracted by the golden light, and even the appellation that she hated in the other party's mouth was forgotten.

"The deposit is 50 gold coins, so the total is 550 gold coins, which is 5500 silver months."

Todd crossed his fingers, slowly leaned back in the chair, admired Aisha's greed and desire, and whispered: "As I said just now, I am a generous person..."

—————————————

In the soul space, the conference hall on the second floor of the research institute.

Emerson, Cumberland, Terrence, Mary, and Rachel sat at the same round table, looking at the king sitting there.

"Today is the first time for me and everyone here to hold a meeting in the soul space." Todd said while thinking: "There are many benefits to meeting here. First, it saves time. The 12 hours spent here are almost two minutes in this world. We can spend more precious time on more important things in the outside world; second, it is more convenient. What you see and hear in your daily life can be played through the screen on the table in the form of video and sound."

Seeing Cumberland fiddling with the mouse on the table curiously, Todd scratched the back of his head: "You may not be used to this method of operation at first, but it will be fine once you get used to it."

After a pause, Todd cleared his throat: "Next, I have something very important to announce—I will not appear in this world for a long time."

Except for Rachel, the other four were at a loss when they heard this.

Emerson was the first to react: "Your Majesty, what do you mean, we won't see you in Muxi City?

Todd nodded: "You can say that."

"How is this possible?! You are the king of Muxi! How can the head of a country not be on the throne for a long time?!" Cumberland immediately objected.

Terrence also questioned at this time: "There are still many affairs in the kingdom. The absence of the king may lead to turmoil in the country."

Todd stretched out his hands and pressed down, signaling for everyone to be calm.

"I will not give up the management of the kingdom. In fact, I will spend more time on the king's affairs. It's just that my office will be moved here from the headquarters of the Knights." Todd pointed to the computer screen in front of him.

Mary understood a little: "You plan to stay here in the future..."

"That's right. From now on, at about 8:30 every morning, I will use the method of calling the soul to lead you into this place." Todd took a sip of the coffee in front of him and continued: "I call this meeting the "daily meeting". Before the meeting, everyone here please prepare materials and documents, and I will focus on processing."

Emerson grabbed his mustache with his fingers, and frowned into the word "Chuan": "This method may also be used, but there are always occasions where your majesty is still required to come forward. May I ask, how long will your majesty be absent in Muxi City?"

"Maybe... a year." When Todd said this, he didn't have much confidence in his heart. Because in his mind, there was always another answer—forever.

"One year?!!" Cumberland's loud voice rang again: "Your Majesty, what is the important thing that has to go for such a long time?! Can't you not go?!"

Todd closed his eyes, and Xiao Suo's expression slowly emerged: "It's very important, you can't go there..."

The people present fell into silence.

Some people unconsciously shut their mouths when they think of the "Kingdom of Heaven" they are in now, and then think of the identity of the Holy Son.

Todd opened his eyes, looked around, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, since everyone has no objections, let's start discussing the future meeting process and precautions."
