Alien Knights

At the same time, the inner harbor of Muxi City.

Stepping onto the plank road at the port, Rachel lifted her hood and looked at the sky in the distance with a solemn expression.

Two citizens walked past her, and one of them said as they walked: "What's the matter with the siren just now? Will there really be enemies coming to Muxi City?"

Another person said: "Don't be stupid, that is impossible."

The first person added: "However, in the past three months, the outer city of Muxi City has been building walls. This has never happened in the past."

Another scratched his head: "I guess it's just a precaution."

Seeing the two people walking further and further away, Rachel turned around and said, "Come on, it's time for us to leave."

Karin held Rachel's hand and nodded.

Walking on the streets of Duixi City, Karin listened to the familiar things around her and said excitedly: "Is it my imagination? I always feel that there are more and more people in the city."

Rachel slowed down: "The trade exchanges between the northern city and Duixi City are becoming more and more frequent. Many amphibian species among the newly arrived marine groups will also enter the city after the sun goes down, as well as the Holy Acropolis. And there in Silver Ring City..."

Karin noticed that Rachel had stopped speaking, and asked, "What happened in the Holy Acropolis and Silver Ring City?"

Rachel said softly: "No, it's nothing... In short, Muxi City is now more crowded and noisy than ever before."

Karin: "Perhaps I have been alone for too long. I now realize that crowds and noise are not necessarily a bad thing."

Rachel patted Karin's hand: "As long as you like it."

Karin followed Rachel for some distance and suddenly asked: "I wonder how Marcus is doing now?"

Rachel: "He is an undead. You should know that I cannot let him enter the city."

Karin: "I know, but I'm still a little worried about him. His mood is sometimes unstable..."

Rachel: "I have asked Huggins to take care of him. The two of them are old acquaintances, and Huggins is very smart and knows how to deal with his emotions."

Karin nodded and said, "I hope everything goes well."

The two of them walked and talked, gradually approaching the center of Muxi City - Muxi Square.

Karin heard the laughter in the square, and even heard the sound of the time on the clock tower in the square.

Karin: "We're almost there."

Rachel supported Karin, walked slowly to a building, and said softly: "Yes, we are here."

The sister hotel built on one side of the square was as brightly lit and packed with guests as in the past.

Pamela, who was busy in the lobby on the first floor, accidentally caught a glimpse of two familiar figures out of the corner of her eye, causing her to scream.

"They're back!"

Hearing this cry, Cosette, who was busy ordering goods at the wine cabinet, also dropped her work and ran out happily.

"Sister Foreman!"

Under the gaze of the hotel guests, the four women hugged each other, like family members meeting for the first time after a long absence, and burst into tears.

After a while, Rachel patted the others on the shoulders and motioned for everyone to go in and talk.

Rachel opened the manager's room in the hotel and sat down with the other three people.

She first said to Pamela: "Make arrangements for the hotel and don't neglect those guests."

Pamela nodded and said, "Don't worry, others will take care of everything when I'm not around."

Rachel led Karin to sit by the bed, glanced at the excited Pamela and Cosette, and said, "I know you are curious about where Karin has been during this time. Let her tell herself. you."

Facing the two sisters, Karin took off her hood, sorted out her thoughts, and recounted what happened to her during this period, deliberately hiding the details about the undead, and spoke slowly.

When the two women listened to Karin's narration, they looked at the shocking burns on the latter's face, and for a moment there was only sadness in their hearts.

Pamela gently held Karin's hand: "No matter what, just come back."

Cosette nodded vigorously: "No bad people will harm you here. The Dragon God protects everything."

Pamela echoed: "The Dragon God protects everything."

Karin gently repeated the word "Dragon God" in her mouth, and her whole body fell into silence.

Rachel glanced at Karin, turned to Pamela and said, "Has there been any unusual movement in the Alien Association recently?"

Pamela thought for a while and said, "Someone seems to be spreading a word in the association."

Rachel narrowed her eyes and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Pamela said: "The sages return to the promised land."

Rachel's face was solemn and she didn't speak.

Pamela continued: "I asked some people in the association, and they said that this sentence comes from a legend in the Presbyterian Church. Generally speaking, when the disaster of the alien species arrives, the savior will come to the world, and in In the endless darkness, guide the direction of rebirth for all alien species."

Rachel asked calmly: "How many people from the Alien Association in Muxi City have left during this time?"

Pamela was a little surprised: "Sister Rachel, do you even know this? Many people left Muxi City during this period. At first, they used the reason to visit relatives or travel. Later, many people simply left the city. There is no way to contact him again.”

Cosette asked worriedly: "Sister Rachel, why are these people leaving Muxi City?"

Rachel sighed and said, "Do you all know Sutherland?"

Cosette shook her head. Pamela hesitated and nodded.

Rachel: "Sutherland is the sage of the alien race. Thousands of years ago, he single-handedly helped thousands of aliens escape the slaughter of the Tyros. In a sense, Sutherland is Alien hero.”

Pamela asked: "So are these people who left Twilight City related to Sutherland?"

Rachel: "Yes, there is such a legend circulated by both the Presbyterian Church and the Alien Association. Sutherland, who died a thousand years ago, is not actually dead. He will be resurrected in the days before the disaster. And lead all the alien species to fight against disaster again."

Pamela looked a little unconvinced: "But Sutherland has been dead for thousands of years, so this is just a legend, right?"

Rachel smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid this is not just a legend, things are more complicated than you think."

Cosette said worriedly: "Those who left, they will be fine, right?"

Rachel said: "The Alien Association was originally established by a group of people who were dissatisfied with the Presbyterian Church. We don't believe in the elders, we don't believe in conspiracy, and we don't think that only by fighting against the world can we obtain a place for the aliens to survive."

"However, Sutherland is a different existence. To the aliens, he is more like a god than a hero. When we were children, countless adults mentioned it repeatedly in our ears. , it was Sutherland who saved everyone. Therefore, as long as they are aliens who come out of the Presbyterian Church, they will more or less be in awe of Sutherland."

Pamela said: "But even if Sutherland can be resurrected, I don't think he can do better than the Dragon God. Look at our days now. All the alien species can live like normal people in the Dragon Kingdom. Don’t have to worry about being oppressed and bullied, doesn’t that explain everything?”

Rachel said: "I don't think anyone else can do better than Todd... the Dragon God, but many people in the Alien Association don't believe in the Dragon God, they are just worried that this peaceful life can How long will it last? When the Dragon God is in power, everything will remain the same. Once he leaves..."

Karin, who had remained silent, suddenly asked: "You mean, he will leave?"

Rachel looked at Karin and said softly: "What I mean is, Todd cannot sit on the throne forever. He has an heir, and his heir will also have children..."

Karin lowered her head and said no more.
