Alien Knights

Meredith left.

Todd now finally understands why this woman tried her best to dissuade him from taking the road of tyrant.

Thinking about it now, will people who gain power really sink into the pleasure of power as she said, and eventually forget their original intentions and be unable to extricate themselves?

Todd couldn't give his own answer, but he heard a sentence in his previous life.

There is only a thin wall between humans and beasts, and it is the desire hidden deep in the heart that really breaks down the wall.

Shaking off these complicated thoughts in his head, Todd turned his attention to his eyes.

Walking to the end of the room, Todd took the dead gun from the wall, untied the sackcloth wrapped around it, looked at the bright red flowing on the gun body, and felt the breath contained in his hand.

Todd was thinking, what Scathach said, the creatures that destroyed the Linglan Empire thousands of years ago had mastered such a powerful gun of death, was it also the reason for their degeneration and self-destruction?

Infusing the soul power in the body into the spear, Death Silence released a slow and steady buzzing sound under Todd's intentional traction.

Recalling the use of the long gun during this period, Todd gradually discovered that as long as the dead silence is aimed at any living object, the long gun will automatically lock the opponent's dark matter band and control the direction.

principle?

Todd tried to analyze the spear with the perspective of the tyrant and the eagle eye, and the result was only a bunch of silicon-based molecular structures of unknown meaning.

If one wants to truly understand the power contained in this spear, one may need to find a top physics expert. It may be difficult to decipher the mystery only by relying on his academic ability.

After re-hanging the death gun, Todd went down the stairs and came to the living room on the first floor.

Deirdre stood up from the couch, looked at him with concern and said, "Your complexion is not very good."

Evie, leaning against the wall, said coldly, "Did that woman say something?"

Todd shook his head slightly: "Evie, do you still remember, you once asked me a question."

"question?"

"You once asked me that Muxi City and Froststone City are like two carriages that are gradually drifting away. They are already heading towards two completely different roads. You asked me, have you ever thought about driving them together?"

Evie nodded: "That's right, I did ask. As a king, everything you do in Muxi City is completely different from everything you do in Froststone City. I don't understand, what's the point of this?" necessary?"

Todd rubbed his cheek and said with a wry smile, "I did it out of fear."

"fear?!"

"It took me a lot of effort to manage Muxi City and Froststone City to what they are today. I don't want to destroy them with my own hands because of myself."

Evie didn't seem to understand Todd's thoughts: "I don't understand where your worries come from at all. Are you worried that your people and believers will no longer be loyal?"

Todd looked up at the ceiling and let out a long breath: "I'm not worried about my people, I'm worried about myself... I'm worried that I will change in the future..."

Todd continued: "Some of Meredith's words have indeed been confirmed by history...Those monarchs who were aggressive and wise in their youth, when the dust settled, most of them became cruel and selfish. insensitive."

"So, with regard to Muxi City and Froststone City, I am actually experimenting with two different paths. Muxi City allows the vast majority of people to try to manage themselves based on reason and enlightenment; as for the believers in Froststone City They, I conceal part of the truth from them, and run this country through the centralization and constraints of the gods."

Todd spread his hands towards Evie: "Which path is more conducive to the continuation of the race and the development of the country, I can't make a conclusion now, I can only continue to observe and analyze..."

Compared to Deirdre's daze, Evie shook her head irritably.

She walked to the window, pushed it open suddenly, pointed to the temple, and said, "Come and listen!"

Todd listened, and there was a sound of praise and prayer resounding through the sky.

"Son of the gods bless us!"

"I must go to God's Domain after I die!"

"Death is no longer a shackle!"

Evie looked at Todd, and said decisively: "I don't want to think about those headaches you said! In my opinion, it doesn't matter if it's deception or the truth, as long as it can make the people feel happy, That is a successful monarch! As for the future... What's the use of worrying about those things now?!"

Todd couldn't help laughing. He looked at the tall and heroic woman, and said after a while: "These words really resemble your style..."

Todd walked to Evie's side, listened to the words praising the gods outside the window, and said softly: "Perhaps you are right, the key lies in the present, and it is useless to think about the future..."

—————————

In May 1175, half a year after the battle between Todd and Cu Chulainn, it was also the sixth year since he came to another world.

A very ordinary incident happened in Froststone City - a woman was confirmed to be pregnant for one month by a shaman doctor.

But for Todd, this is a big deal - because the pregnant woman is Deirdre.

When Todd heard the news from Shaman Minnie, for a moment, he doubted his ears.

"You mean, Deirdre is pregnant?"

Minnie, who was leaning on a cane, looked at Todd with a surprised face: "I have repeatedly confirmed that she is indeed pregnant for a month."

Todd sat on the chair and didn't recover for a long time.

Minnie glanced at Evie beside her, bowed slightly towards Todd, and walked out of the room.

Evie looked at the bedroom on the second floor, and said to herself resentfully: "Obviously I tried more times, why is she the winner instead?"

The corner of Todd's mouth slowly curved into an arc, and the whole person seemed to be slowly recovering from a huge shock.

"I'm going to be a father soon..." Todd closed his eyes and said with a smile: "I always thought that I, who gave up my human form and walked on the road of a tyrant, would never have any children..."

Evie raised her eyebrows, and said helplessly: "I will let my Valkyrie sisters stay by Deirdre's side and be responsible for her safety before she gives birth to a child."

Walking to the door, Evie threw a sentence towards Todd who was still immersed in great happiness: "During this time, don't touch Deirdre, you understand what I mean..."

Ignoring Evie's ridicule, Todd went straight to the bed in the bedroom on the second floor.

Lying on the bed, Deirdre stroked her flat belly with a joyful smile on her face.

Todd sat next to Deirdre and gently held her hand: "We're going to have a baby soon..."

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Deirdre's beautiful and refined profile made Todd faintly see the brilliance of motherhood: "What about the name? There are also clothes, cribs, toys..."

Todd shook Deirdre's hand, signaling her to calm down: "Those things are still far away, the most urgent thing is to take good care of your body and pay attention to rest..."

Deirdre nodded with a smile.

Todd looked at the woman beside him, and said softly, "Deirdre, I should say sorry to you, since you've been with me, I haven't spent much time with you..."

Deirdre turned her head and looked into Todd's eyes: "I grew up in a tribe, and because of my heterogeneous identity, no one wanted to approach me; when I became an adult, my father formed an alliance with Conchierb, and I had no choice but to Don't be a hostage, stay in the arena and struggle to survive..."

Raising her head and looking at the room in front of her, Deirdre said with a smile, "The years I've lived in this small building have been the happiest time I've ever spent in my life."

Leaning her upper body and kissing Todd's lips lightly, Deirdre blushed and said, "A woman's happiness does not lie in how much she owns now, but in whether the future is good or not."

Todd sighed, and gently hugged Deirdre into his arms, speechless for a long time.
