Alien Knights

In the soul space, Todd looked at the clear and detailed diagram of the royal city on the computer screen, and asked in surprise, "How did you get this map in such a short period of time?"

"The alien population is bigger than you can imagine. The map of Ulster Palace has been secretly mapped a long time ago." Rachel put a scoop of ice cream into her mouth, and closed her eyes enjoying it: "It's better to be here. I can taste all the delicious food without worrying about losing my figure."

Todd gave her a funny look: "But after leaving here, your stomach is still empty."

"This wonderful sense of taste has been in my mind forever, isn't that enough?" Rachel put down the small spoon, the corners of her eyes were bent with a smile, making this woman look with a coquettish attitude that is rarely seen in ordinary times.

Todd shrugged.

"You want to enter the palace and look for Aisha?" After saying this, Rachel glanced at him: "Why didn't I see how important she is?"

"As I said before, she is familiar with the routes and hydrology of the northern border, and is the liaison between Muxi Kingdom and the future barbarian outpost."

Biting the spoon into her mouth, Rachel said vaguely, "I still can't believe her."

"I have a way to control her, at least let her move within the allowable range." Todd glanced at the map on the screen for the last time, reached out and turned off the computer.

—————————————

The October night in Ama City was cold and humid, and few people would choose to walk on the streets at this time.

Todd, who was wearing a black cloak, walked through the alleys and on the roof at such a speed that people thought it was a blur before his eyes.

Arriving at the foot of the royal palace in the center of the city, Todd looked at the towering city wall in the night, took off and folded all his clothes, and put them in a hidden corner at the base of the wall.

Then he transformed into a monster form, with iron claws embedded in the wall bricks, climbing up the smooth wall.

The strength of the ability in the monster form is much greater than that in the human form.

For example, the magnification of the "Eagle Eye" ability can be increased from six times to a hundred times; the "Perspective" ability can not only penetrate thin objects such as wooden boards, but also penetrate thick stone walls and iron plates; the "Night Vision" ability can not only see objects at night, but also automatically identify the type of creature based on the heat and magnetic field emitted by the creature, and even lock on to a specific target.

Relying on these three enhanced abilities, Todd, who transformed into a monster, carefully avoided the sentries and guards, and successfully arrived at the meeting hall deep in the palace.

The hall is brightly lit, and well-armed Ulster guards stand on both sides of the hall.

King Conchiub sat on the throne, looking at his confidant Fogal kneeling at his feet.

Todd, who was lying on the wall outside the window, regained his human form and adjusted his posture to ensure that he could hear their conversation clearly.

"You want to take over the 'Red Circle'?" Conchi Urber said jokingly.

"Your Majesty, the director of the arena has just become vacant. I think I am the most suitable candidate for this position." Fogar knelt down on one knee, stroked his chest with his right hand, and said respectfully: "You don't know, for more than a year, the "Red Circle" has not only failed to make a profit, but also suffered a deficit."

Conchiub frowned: "How could this be?"

"The number of people watching the gladiatorial fights is not as good as before. Although the former supervisor has used various methods, including reducing the price of tickets, the business situation of "Red Circle" has not improved." Fogar raised his head and said seriously: "But I assure you, as long as I take office, I will be able to make up for the loss within three months."

Conchi Ub was silent for a while, lifted the belt on his stomach, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, this position is still the fattest job in the kingdom."

Fogar smiled wryly: "My lord, what exactly do you want to let me take over this position?"

Conchi Urb stroked his beard, his voice was distorted because of faint excitement: "Cuchulin will never come back again..."

Cu Chulainn?

A trainee from the Kingdom of Shadows?

A familiar name popped up suddenly, and Todd, who was eavesdropping outside the window, was stunned.

Conchierb shook his fat body and said with a smile: "And your daughter Emel's life-long event must be settled?"

Fogar's body trembled, and an indescribable scowl suddenly appeared on his face buried deep in his chest.

After a long silence, the king's confidant minister finally calmed down and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, I made a one-year agreement with Cu Chulainn. If he returns from the kingdom of shadows, I promise to marry my daughter to him. Even if the chance of his return is almost zero, I can't break my promise in advance."

Unable to see the king's expression, Furgal could only glimpse his feet stomping heavily on the ground, an action that expressed Conchiub's deep dissatisfaction.

Lowering his head a little lower, Fogar remained silent. In this matter, he did not intend to let go. In his opinion, his daughter's happiness was far greater than anything else.

"Since that's the case, let me think about the candidate for the arena supervisor!" Conchi Ub waved his hand, motioning for Fogar to disappear from his eyes.

Seeing the courtiers who rejected him slowly exit the gate, Conchier became more and more angry as he thought about it, he patted the armrest of the throne, and shouted loudly: "Go back to the bedroom!"

Under the escort of the guards, Conchiuber left the hall and walked towards the bedroom behind the palace.

Using the abilities of "Eagle Eye" and "Night Vision", Todd followed the king's guard along the inner wall with a short body.

Watching the candles in the bedroom go out, Todd waited for another hour under the castle of the palace. It was estimated that Conchierber had already fallen asleep, so he transformed into a monster again, moved and jumped along the edges and corners of the city wall, and climbed up to the balcony of the bedroom lightly.

As soon as he walked into the outer room of the bedroom, Todd used his ability to see many interesting things.

Flip traps, bell alarm trip ropes, crossbow mechanisms...

In the huge king's bedroom, there are no less than fifteen traps and traps, large and small. This not only made Todd sigh with emotion, how many enemies Conchiuber had, and how much he himself was afraid of assassins.

Using the flexible movements of the monster form to avoid all the traps one by one, Todd finally walked to the king's bed and saw King Ulster sleeping like a dead pig.

Slowly piercing the tip of the iron claw into Conchiub's temple, Todd began to search for the information he wanted in his mind.

Except for those disgusting, unbearable indiscriminate killings, torture, rape and torture, Todd finally found a desired memory in the depths of the other party's memory.

In the prison in the underground tunnel of the royal palace, Conchiuber was loudly reprimanding a woman whom Todd knew——Aisha: "You despicable thief!" Where did you put the treasure you stole from me? ! 』

The sound of harsh whipping, the sound of splashing blood, and the sound of angry roaring.

Aisha was tied to a wooden frame like a dead body, with cuts and bruises all over her body.

She raised her head slightly, spit bloody spit on the king's chest.

At the end of the memory, a huge fist hit Aisha's cheek fiercely.

Withdrawing from the memory, Todd's heart was filled with anger, he raised the iron claws high, and saw that he was about to scratch Conchi Urber's throat.

The iron claw stayed a few centimeters from the latter's neck, but it still didn't fall.

If Conchierb died, the Ulster Kingdom without a crown prince would fall into endless wars and divisions, which would give the Eastern Connaught Kingdom the best chance to rise.

Once Connacht annexed Ulster, the northern barbarians would form a unified empire. As the Muxi Kingdom, which was connected to it by sea and land, it would first face the iron hoof from the north.

Killing a person is easy, but triggering a series of chain reactions, how to deal with it is the real thing to worry about.

An hour later, a farm on the outskirts of Ama City.

A man in black with the wounded on his back knocked on the back door of the country hotel, looked at the elderly peasant woman who was looking around, nodded and said, "Please tell Sister Rachel, I brought a friend from the sea, she is in urgent need of medical treatment and rescue!"
