Chapter 129: Gathering Hearts

On the hill south of Twilight, a tombstone in the shape of a holy cross faces the busy town and the quiet sea.

Alfonso, who had re-hidden himself in his armor, knelt on one knee and placed a bouquet of white phoenix flowers in front of the grave, looking at the Latin inscription engraved on the stone tablet, silent.

"Adlina Surrey Wilmot, a lady of integrity, modesty, and courage. She faced the injustices of fate and never flinched. At the cost of her life, she awakened a knight from hatred and prejudice. 』

At the top of the hill dozens of meters away from the tomb, at the door of Alfonso and his servants' quarters, Leslie was helping Walton pack his luggage.

The boy with red lines on his forehead looked at the short and fat man with a numb face next to him, thought about it for a long time, and finally said: "Adelina's matter, in fact, you can't blame the leader......"

Walton didn't reply: "I know." ”

"At the beginning, it was the three of us, and we insisted on going along. ”

"I know. ”

"And you should know that Adlina is ...... the leader"

Walton slammed his bag on the ground, turned his face to Leslie, and widened his eyes, "I know!"

Leslie sighed, "Then why are you leaving?"

Walton closed his eyes, his five fingers clenched into fists: "I'm just tired of this life of fighting and killing......"

Watching the short and fat man pack his bags and walk out of the room, Leslie looked at his back and asked loudly, "Then what are you going to do in the future?"

"I'm going to open a wine shop and make a wine that will forget all sorrows if you drink it!"

At the same time, in the tavern "Come Back Tomorrow", two elderly people in civilian clothes sat at the innermost table, drinking ale and eating snacks.

"The other nobles are all gone one after another, and you are the last one. ”

Cumberland grabbed a piece of jerky, threw it in his mouth, and chewed it so loudly that the guests at the next table could hear it clearly.

Earl Emerson frowned and looked at each other, shook his mustache, and said in a tone of no concern at all: "Isn't it a waste to come out of the capital once, and not take a good vacation for a few days?"

Cumberland swallowed the food in his mouth, poured another sip of ale, leaned forward slightly, and said to Emerson, "The kingdom is almost over, don't go back." ”

Count Emerson was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "You really will never learn the ability to be 'subtle'. ”

The old knight glanced at him: "The two of us are more than a hundred years old together, do you spend your time on 'subtle' and leave business in the coffin?!"

Emerson didn't choose to continue the topic, and smiled, "I ask you something, Chief Master of the Knights of the Twilight, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Cumberland put down the ale in his hand, his expression became serious for the first time, and he thought for a while before he said, "I don't understand. ”

Emerson was a little surprised: "Can't understand?"

The old knight nodded: "Regarding the chief commander, I specially found someone to know all his deeds in detail. Knowledgeable, eloquent, proficient in alchemy, etc., these may also be explained by talent. Then there are many things that I don't understand, he can raise an army that is almost invincible, he can rely on his own strength to develop Dusk West from nothing, he can accept any race and individual who is rejected by the mortal world. But his heart is so pure that he has no dirty desires. All of this is somewhat similar to the one in the Bible......"

When Emerson heard this, he whispered to himself, "Holy Son......"

The old knight said, "Some time ago, some nobles protested to the chief regiment about the food standard. The only reply I received was one sentence - "Twilight is a land under the rule of Heavenly Father, where there is only faith, no class." Now that I think about it, he did. Serfs, craftsmen, xenomorphs, heretical scholars, etc., no matter who they are, no matter what their status, as long as they have a pious heart for the Father, he is willing to open his heart to accept it. Doesn't this say more about his special status......"

"The Son is back!"

Outside the tavern, someone shouted.

Todd, Richell, and Huggins, with Cosette, the "Railgun Girl" found in the cave, rode through the streets of the town and drove back to the headquarters of the Order.

Before the chief head of the dusty group had time to drink a saliva, the monk Qiao with two dark circles under his eyes blocked him at the gate.

"My lord, I've been working on a will lately. The monk stared at Todd with an unkind expression.

Todd was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly asked, "Will, are you sick?"

"I'm dying of exhaustion!" the monk said loudly, pointing to the two panda eyes on the left and right, "Thirty-six hours! Thirty-six hours! I have been working for thirty-six hours without closing my eyes!!

Todd gestured for Rachel and Huggins to go with Cosette, who was wrapped in a black cloth, and looked at the monk and asked, "Is there so much work?"

Hearing Todd actually ask such a question, Joe seemed to be greatly stimulated, he took a deep breath, patted the paperwork in his hand vigorously, and quickly said his work one by one: "First of all, let's talk about the planning and construction of Duxi Town! The commercial area has burned so much, is it going to be rebuilt?! With so many new people joining Duxi Town, is it necessary to expand the planning scope?! There are also industrial areas, animal husbandry areas, agricultural areas, public construction projects, and so on!"

Todd's head widened for a moment, and his eyes glazed over.

Looking at the other party's expression, Qiao sneered and continued: "Do you think this is the end? I'll talk about the 'Holy Order Arbitration Tribunal'! It's been almost five months since this organization was established, but you, as the president, haven't appeared once! Do you know? I spent a whole day yesterday to deal with the one hundred and seventy-nine cases that have piled up......

Todd was surprised, "So much?!a month?"

Joe gritted his teeth hatefully: "Three days...... Speaking of which, these jobs are not the most headaches for me, but the most painful ones are the church jobs!"

After the monk mentioned this, Todd suddenly remembered that since receiving the edict of the Holy Ministry for the establishment of the Knights, the auxiliary priests who originally belonged to the Holy Cathedral, they had returned to the Silver Ring City one after another, and now the work of the church was indeed the work of the monk Joe.

"I can still leave the things of praise, mass, confession, and baptism to my brothers, but I can only do it myself to manage the funds of the Holy Treasury and the Mutual Aid Society. The more Monk Qiao spoke, the more excited he became: "I have to remember thousands of things to spend money and make money, and I have to know every number by heart, and if I make a mistake in the end, I still need to think about which link I didn't think of!"

Todd patted Joe on the shoulder and signaled him to calm down, "I understand, I understand." I'll start thinking of ways to ease your workload......"

The monk, who was obviously dissatisfied with the comfort of the chief regiment, grabbed the former's robe, led him to the conference hall, and said, "I have already thought of it for you!"

After entering the conference hall, Todd saw a group of people, who were waiting for him early, the leader of the group was delicate, fair-skinned, and a little weak.

"Let me introduce, Dion de Beaumont, Dion Knight!" Monk Joe said excitedly, looking like a vendor selling goods, "Dion Knight is the third child of the Beaumont family, a family of judges, who has studied in the Royal Academy, is fluent in more than a dozen languages, and has also entered the Taylor Government Hall. The students around him are also the most proud disciples of the Royal Academy, and they are much better than me in terms of law! It is really fitting for them to run the 'Tribunal of the Holy Order'!"

Todd gave Joe a funny look, then moved his gaze to the other people's faces, "Are you willing to take on the job?"

Dion made a knightly salute, his pale blonde ponytail hair rising and falling slightly along his petite figure: "Chief Commander, we are willing to contribute our strength to the Knights." ”

After chatting with Dion and the students for a while, Todd left the chamber and, seeing that Joe was still following him, asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

The monk nodded, "Regarding the management of funds in Dusk Town, there is a candidate to replace me......"

Five minutes later, Todd was in the chief's room and met someone he hadn't expected.

Queen Mary.

She was wearing an ordinary women's simple dress, but her lofty temperament and inviolable aura made Todd a little sideways.

"I heard you'd like to manage the Vault and Mutual Aid Society in Twilight?" Todd said as he looked at the woman sitting at the table and said with some confusion, "These are extremely important and complex tasks. There are a lot of numbers and details that need to be memorized, and the slightest mistake can lead to mistakes in the accounts, can you do that?"

Instead of answering the question, Mary stood up and walked to the door of the room.

Seeing her move, Todd was a little surprised.

That's giving up?

The woman did not leave, but closed the door from the inside.

Todd was a little square: "Hey, why don't you close the door......"

Mary turned around, pointed to the bookcase in the room, and said, "Chief, please open any book and tell me the title, the number of pages, and the number of lines."

Todd was a little confused, but did as he could.

To his surprise, the woman recited exactly what the book said.

Todd quickly changed to the second and third books, and conducted experiments again and again, but the result was still the same, the woman was always able to recite the original words in the book.

Mary pressed her hand to her forehead, the expression on her face could not tell whether she was reminiscing or thinking, and she said word by word to Todd, "Master Chief, I have a secret that I intended to take to the grave. I am an alien, and my ability is 'super memory', and anything I have seen, heard, or felt will exist in my memory, and it will be immortal. ”
