As Barbara and Randall walked into the King's Audience Room, Todd was chatting with Minnie about the future plans for the Holy Army.

Seeing the man and woman appear, Todd pointed to the couch and motioned for them to sit down first.

"I don't want people to think that the members of the Holy Cult are superior, that they are soldiers, civilians, and believers, and that they deserve to be treated equally. ”

Todd tapped his fingers on the table, pondering as he said, "In the current Twilight City, as long as it is a human, whether he is a knight or an ordinary citizen, he will squeeze his head and try his best to become a member of the Holy Cult Army, this phenomenon is not normal, and it is worth being vigilant about. ”

Minnie, who was sitting on the sofa, turned her cane: "Maybe the Dragon Kingdom can issue a law to suppress the authority of the Holy Sect Army......"

Todd responded, "It's a way, but it's not the best way. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The key is to find a suitable way to balance the power between the races, rather than relying on power to suppress the development of one side. ”

Todd turned his gaze to Barbara and Randall, who were sitting precariously, and said to the elven woman with a smile, "At the Holy Army trial just now, you two were in the limelight. ”

Barbara grabbed Randall's hand and preemptively said, "Your Majesty, although we are at fault in this matter, the Judgment is not something we provoked. ”

Todd shook his head amusedly, "Still complaining?"

Barbara blinked, "How dare we complain, if it weren't for your wisdom, Randall and I might have been in prison by now." ”

Todd waved his hand: "Don't flatter me, I want to ask you, what are you going to do next?"

Randall was a little confused: "What next?"

Barbara thought for a moment, but quickly understood what Todd meant: "What we said today can be regarded as completely offending the Holy Cult Army. I'm fine, but I just refuted the elven patriarch, and at most I won't go back to the elven gathering place again...... But, Randall, you've got into trouble. ”

"Am I in trouble?"

Barbara grabbed Randall's arm with her fingers, looking annoyed: "You told all the racial gaps in the Holy Cult Army in front of the Dragon God at the trial! Originally, those contradictions were the secrets of the Holy Cult Army's races, but you told the Dragon God about this, which is equivalent to damaging the image of all the members of the Holy Cult Army and tearing down everyone's platform!"

Seeing Randall's sudden expression, Todd said with a smile: "Actually, even if you don't say it, I know about the contradictions between different races, but if you pick out these things that can't be put on the table in front of everyone, you will indeed offend many people." ”

Barbara crossed her fingers and said sincerely: "Supreme Dragon God, we are all your devout believers, please help us!"

Todd asked, "How?"

Barbara paused.

Todd smiled and said, "Why don't I send you two to Lone Rock City in the south, where there are relatively few Holy Sect troops, just right for you to take refuge?"

Barbara shook her head vigorously, "I almost lost my life there, so I swore that I would never set foot in Lone Rock City again in my life!"

Minnie, who was sitting on the side, smiled and asked, "If you don't go to Lone Rock City, where are you going to go?"

Barbara and Randall looked at each other, and they were out of ideas for a moment.

Todd looked at the embarrassment of the two of them, and suddenly proposed, "There is a way." ”

Barbara looked up and asked hopefully, "How?"

"Be married. ”

Randall's eyes widened: "Husband and wife?"

Todd smiled and said, "I will announce to all the Holy Cult Soldiers that I agree to marry you and send my blessings. And frankly, because I was greatly touched by the feelings of the two of you, I not only agreed to you to marry, but also decided to open the internal marriage of the Holy Cult Army. ”

Minnie looked at Todd and whispered, "Intra-Temporal Marriages in the Holy Army, if I'm not mistaken, whoever joins the Holy Cult must swear to renounce everything in the world, including the family ......."

Todd nodded: "That's right, the premise of becoming a Holy Cult Army is indeed to give up everything in the past, because the transformation ritual means a new life, and the recipient will be changed to a new race...... But there is one thing I have only said about giving up the family before the transformation, but I have never forbade starting a family after the transformation. ”

"In fact, there are already companions within the Holy Army. Although these men and women of different races have not been registered as husband and wife, they have lived together and fought together for a long time, and they will inevitably have feelings and want to form a family together. ”

Todd was a little helpless: "If the union of these partners is forcibly broken up and the interaction between them is forbidden, it will not only hit the morale of the Holy Army, but also be detrimental to the stability of the army. Therefore, instead of turning a blind eye, it is better to open up the internal intermarriage of the Holy Cult Army. And, in doing so, the members of the Holy Army will be grateful for Barbara and Randall's work. After all, it was because of their affairs that I opened up internal marriages, and resentment and mustard would naturally be swept away. ”

Minnie glanced at Barbara, who was beaming, and reminded Todd, "I have no problem with opening up marriages between the Holy Cult Army. After all, we are raising armies, not monks. However, for the marriage of these two people, I hope you still proceed with caution. ”

Hearing this, Barbara couldn't sit still: "Since the internal intermarriage of the Holy Cult Army can be opened, then why can't Randall and I be together?"

Minnie pointed at Randall and said, "What is the Holy Cult? The Holy Cult are those who were once human, but have been transformed into aliens through the transformation ritual. Although Randall is nominally a member of the Holy Army, due to his human status, almost every alien race excludes him from the sequence of the Holy Army, and sees him as a complete human. ”

"Under such a premise, have you ever thought about what kind of signal it will send to this kingdom if the two of you are united? Humans can intermarry with the Holy Army, which is equivalent to expanding the internal marriage of the Holy Army into unlimited marriage. In this way, the balance between all races will be upset, and humanity will find ways to marry, or marry a member of the Holy Army, in order to elevate its status and status......"

Randall held Barbara's hand tightly, seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty the Holy King, if you agree to open the internal intermarriage of the Holy Cult Army, I am willing to carry out the conversion ceremony in order to be with Barbara. ”

Todd was a little surprised: "Are you willing to participate in the transformation ceremony? You should know that there is a certain chance that the ceremony will fail, and even if it succeeds, you may transform into a monster that does not look like a human at all, even so, are you still willing to participate in the ceremony?"

Randall nodded vigorously: "Your Majesty, you should also know that the reason why I was reluctant to participate in the transformation ceremony in the first place was not because I was afraid of death and transformation, but because I ......"

Todd continued his words and said, "It's because of your mother's death." ”

Randall hung his head in grief, his whole body trembling slightly.

Barbara looked sadly at the man beside her, opened her arms, and slowly hugged the latter.

Todd looked at Randall and sighed, "Remember the conversation you and I had a long time ago? The elephant, who was afraid of the beast trainer's whip, refused to pull out the stake, escaped from the circus, and finally died in that square inch. I am relieved to hear these words from you, and you finally have the courage to step out of the past and pull out the stake that trapped your soul. ”

Minnie bowed her head and said, "If Randall is willing to accept the transformation ritual, then all the problems will be solved, and I can arrange the transformation ceremony in the northern camp now......"

Todd interrupted Minnie, "I want Randall, as a human, to marry Barbara. ”

For the first time, Minnie's face showed a look of surprise, and her eyes were full of questions as she looked at Todd.
