Entrenched on the huge mountain peak of the soul space, Todd, who turned into a dragon, looked at the tens of thousands of neatly lined up Holy Sect soldiers at the foot of the mountain, and sighed in his heart that things were impermanent.

Just ten days ago, when Todd was dealing with the settlement of the merfolk, the female leader of the tribe, Rita, talked to him and accidentally mentioned the story of a merfolk who fell in love with humans and was eventually executed.

When Todd heard this, his initial reaction was one of consternation, and after some thought, he could understand the practice, but he still thought it was too barbaric.

However, fate seems to have played a joke, and what Todd never expected was that he faced the same dilemma today.

Minnie, the chief shaman of the shaman assembly, stood at the foot of the mountain with a wooden staff and shouted, "In the name of the Supreme Dragon God, I declare that the military trial meeting of the Holy Cult Army has officially begun!"

Tens of thousands of Holy Cult soldiers, orcs, werewolves, elves, lizardmen, and minotaurs...... Turning his gaze to the end of the queue, two lonely figures, escorted by a group of soldiers, were brought to Todd's feet.

"Elf Jacqueline, a member of the 29th Order of the Holy Cult, met and fell in love with the bard Beate while on duty. ”

Minnie looked at the pale-faced, desperate-eyed female elf below, and said in a deep voice, "After several trysts with this human man, Jacqueline kidnapped this man and planned to escape Dusk West City by boat and head south. ”

Minnie turned her gaze back to the handsome, earthy-faced man beside Jacqueline, shook her head and said, "The soldiers of the Holy Cult have been told to abandon the worldly things, including family, past, feelings, and desires, long before the transformation ceremony...... Being loyal to the faith and serving the dragon god wholeheartedly is the honor and obsession of the Holy Cult Army. ”

"Jacqueline, it saddens me that you have not only betrayed your faith, but also broken your vows. Minnie moved her steps and slowly walked up to the elven woman, stared into the latter's eyes, and said slowly, "Moreover, you have betrayed your god. ”

Jacqueline bit her lip tightly and turned her head sideways to look at the man beside her affectionately: "I am in love with this human man, and I am willing to bear any punishment...... But he is not a member of the Holy Army, and I am willing to give everything I have as a condition of atonement, asking only the supreme dragon god to spare this man's ignorant soul. ”

An orc shaman sitting on a stone pedestal at the foot of the mountain stood up and walked up to Minnie's side, and shouted at Jacqueline with an angry face: "You are not qualified to bargain at all! You have not only despised the favor of the gods, but you have also tarnished the purest name of the Holy Army! You! and this filthy human being! should be thrown into the fire of hell and burned for eternity!"

At this, the bard, whose name was Byatt, fell to his knees with his knees limp, his handsome face distorted by fear and panic, and his whole body trembled like chaff.

Standing in the ranks of the Holy Cult army, the werewolf Aldnan looked at the cowardly human and pouted, "Superficial women will always be seduced by their skins. ”

Tilting his head to Carol beside him, Aldenan whispered, "Elves live far longer than humans, and their strength is overwhelmingly superior to the latter, and the combination of the two is a mistake in itself. ”

Carol looked at the elf Barbara not far away, her face solemn and silent.

Minnie motioned to the orc shaman beside her to calm down, then turned to the other shaman gatherers and asked, "What do you think?"

As the commander of the Holy Cult Army, the dark elf Ackerman glanced at the snake sister beside him, and said, "I always feel that man doesn't seem to be a guy with guts, maybe there is something else hidden in this matter?"

Fried, who used to be the leader of the Falcon Warband, and now has undergone a transformation ritual to become a dwarven shaman, stroked his beard and pondered, saying, "No matter what, the sins committed by these two people are unforgivable. But Jacqueline is right in one thing, that human man is not a member of the Holy Cult, and we can't convict him, so we can only wait for the dragon god's judgment. ”

"Military law and holy law are above all worldly laws, this man has disgraced the name of the Holy Cult Army, I don't think the dragon god will let him go!"

"The bodies of these two should be hung at the head of the city of Twilight, and their miserable condition in hell should be shown to all the citizens!"

Listening to the discussions of many shaman members, Minnie walked to the foot of the mountain, looked up at the looming figure of the dragon in the mist, and asked respectfully, "Supreme Dragon God, what about your holy judgment against these two people who have violated the law?"

Todd lowered his dragon's head and stared at the pair of alien lovers at the foot of the mountain, not saying a word.

Everyone present looked up at the dragon, waiting for the gods' verdict.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that what Todd was thinking about now had nothing to do with the verdict at all.

Humans and elves?

If two aliens are combined with each other, will they give birth to normal offspring?

Will there be reproductive isolation?

Todd once learned in college that the chromosomes or genes of different racial groups cannot interact with each other, and if they are forcibly combined, there will be 4 kinds of segregation: incompatibility, hybrid non-survival, hybrid infertility, and hybrid breakdown. The simplest example is the crossing of a horse and a donkey to give birth to a mule, which is a non-fertile hybrid offspring.

In this way, if humans and elves are combined, they will give birth to semi-elves.

Theoretically, then, the half-elf should also be a non-fertile subspecies due to reproductive isolation.

But with the ability to alter genomes and chromosomes, can the impact of the tyrant virus on species break through reproductive isolation and create an entirely new community of species?

While Todd was still thinking, Minnie's inquiry came from beneath his feet.

"Great Dragon God, please descend the Holy Judgment, what should we do with these two people?"

Todd, who came back to his senses, looked at the people under the mountain, crouched down, stretched the dragon's head into the air, and made a deafening voice: "Jacqueline, have you ever regretted putting your personal desires above your beliefs?"

Faced with the tsunami-like dragon power, Jacqueline curled up in a ball of fear, unable to even speak clearly.

"Are you...... My God, my faith...... But I have no regrets...... What I did ......"

In the midst of a startled chatter, the orc shaman shouted, "You blasphemous degenerate!"

In Todd's dark golden dragon pupils, the figure of the elf woman was reflected, and he said in a deep voice, "Go on." ”

"I never wanted to turn my back on you, but I really love this man......" Jacqueline's beautiful face shimmered with pale blue energy, and she cried, "I am willing to do anything for him, as long as I can be with him......"

Amid everyone's rebuke, Todd looked at the helpless and infatuated elven woman, paused for a moment and then asked, "If I send you two to the deepest depths of hell and atone for your sins in pain and suffering...... But your souls can be together, can you accept this outcome?"

Jacqueline looked up, and there were still two lines of tears on her face: "Merciful and great dragon god!I am willing to accept this punishment, as long as I can be with my lover, even hell, I will be willing to ......"

Todd was a little moved, and there was a hint of softness in his eyes as he looked at the elven woman.

However, at this very time.

The bard, named Byatt, suddenly rushed out and ran in front of everyone's eyes, shouting hysterically: "I don't go to hell!

That night, I made a bet with my friends that they didn't believe I could hook up with the elves, and I was drunk and just wanted to prove myself......"

Hearing these words of the human man, there was a burst of shouts and angry scolding from the ranks of the Holy Cult Army.

Aldenan the werewolf touched his wolf's whiskers and said with itchy teeth, "I haven't eaten human flesh for many years, and now I start to miss that smell......"

Carroll clenched her fists and whispered, "If I can cook a little, I don't mind trying some too." ”

Jacqueline looked back in disbelief, looked at her lover, and asked tremblingly, "You're with me just because ...... bet?"

"They all say that the women of the Holy Army are like goddesses on high and can never be touched by humans...... Moreover, I drank too much at that time, and when I woke up, I was already riding a tiger......"

"And you said you loved me, and ...... the poems you wrote?"

"I'm a bard! I can write plays, and I'll act on stage myself! But how did I know that you would pull me on a boat and try to escape from Dusk West?!"

Todd shook his head, as if he was listening to a farce that made people laugh and cry.

He turned to Ackerman and Minnie and said, "The trial will be suspended for the time being, and these two will be held for the time being, I have something to ask you." ”
