Just as Todd and Deirdre were warm, the sound of hurried footsteps downstairs made the former frown.

Todd patted Dildre's arm and whispered, "Get some rest." ”

With that, he turned and walked out the door.

Evie, who had an anxious face, stood at the entrance of the corridor and saw Todd walking towards her, and stopped talking.

Todd closed the door and asked Evie, "What's wrong?"

The latter glanced at the bedroom and whispered, "Come with me to the temple, the messenger of the Kingdom of Connaught wants to see you, and all the people of the shaman assembly have arrived." ”

As she followed Evie towards the temple, Todd asked strangely, "How could the Kingdom of Connaught send an emissary here?

"Just half a month ago, the Ulster Kingdom declared war on the Connaught Kingdom. Evie looked at the sky in the distance and said quickly, "The Kingdom of Connaught has been defeated. ”

Todd shrugged: "It's normal, Cú Chulainn, the Guns of Dead Silence plus a surprise attack, Connaught has no chance of victory." ”

Evie turned her face sideways and shook her head at Todd, "When I say defeated, I mean Connaught...... It's gone. ”

Todd gasped: "Dead country?!"

Evie pointed in the direction of the temple: "Connaught's messenger is waiting in the temple, and I don't know why...... Wait!"

Before she could finish speaking, Evie suddenly stopped.

She turned her head to look Todd up and down, bewildering him.

Evie squinted at Todd and asked, "Are you going to pass like this?"

Todd looked down at his outfit and didn't seem to have anything inappropriate, and looked at Evie with a puzzled expression.

Evie said in a deep voice, "I suggest that you better turn into a dragon and go to the messenger again......"

Todd frowned, "Transform into a dragon? Are you sure?It will take quite a while just to use the 'Shape' ability to change form again......"

Evie approached Todd and whispered, "This emissary has a special identity......

When Todd transforms into a dragon and lands in the plaza behind the temple, he finally understands what Evie means by "special."

The messenger was none other than Queen Maeve of Connaught.

Looking at the beautiful woman trembling at his feet, and the two half-sized sons beside her, Todd sighed with a headache.

Turning his gaze to Minnie, the shaman at his feet, Todd lifted his chin.

Minnie took two steps forward in understanding, and said, "Messenger of Connaught, please tell the children of the gods the details of what happened. ”

With horror and uneasiness still on her face, Maeve spoke in staccato words about the war half a month ago.

Just one early morning half a month ago, a war horse carrying a headless messenger ran into the gates of Connaught's capital, opening the nightmare of this kingdom.

Cú Chulainn led his army and in just one day, he breached three fortresses on the border line of Connaught.

Cú Chulainn, already in the form of a monster, armed with a huge Silent Spear, faced with the walls, defenders, bows and arrows, and bed crossbows, he was like no one on the battlefield.

When he threw the dead silence in his hand, the crimson spear hovered and galloped in the air, like a living ancient divine weapon, which pierced through the body of each defender, turning a fortress into a dead city in the breath of a breath.

Evie, who was standing beside Todd, heard this, and asked in some disbelief: "Throwing that spear can kill everyone in a fortress at once?!"

Queen Maeve nodded vigorously and said, "In the name of our ancestors, what I say is true! The spear was like a red light in the air, passing through the bodies of every Connaught soldier, taking away their lives, leaving only bloody holes!"

Todd listened to Queen Maeve's narration and fell into deep thought.

Two things are certain.

First, Cú Chulainn has become a complete monster and has probably lost his most basic human nature.

Second, Cú Chulainn may have found an advanced use for the Dead Spear.

The Silent Gun, as a weapon of the ancients, is somewhat similar to modern homing missiles in a sense.

It can target specific wavelengths of dark energy and attack them.

And dark energy resides in every living thing and is the most basic element that makes up the soul.

After analyzing it in this way, the Silent Spear in Cú Chulainn's hand can already realize not only a single attack, but also a group attack in terms of attack mode.

A single attack is limited to a specific creature, while a group attack targets a specific group (e.g., human) within the dark energy range.

In other words, one attack from Cúchulainn, which can destroy all enemies within a certain range.

The threat he can create has naturally become a big problem for Todd.

Evie continued to ask Maeve, "Then what are you looking for when you came to Froststone City this time?

Maeve was in a hurry when she heard this, and quickly shook her head and denied: "Under the attack of Cúchulainn, Connaught has burned the city to ruins, and the corpses have been piled up into hills, and this kingdom has turned into a human purgatory, and there is no foundation for existence anymore. ”

"I have come here to ask you, Son of the Gods, to protect me and my two children from the flames of war......"

Hearing Maeve's request, Evie pursed her lips, "Not long ago, Connaught and Froststone City were mortal enemies...... Today, the army is gone, the kingdom is overthrown, and now you have come to seek refuge, how can there be such a simple thing in the world?"

"You're right, I understand all of this......"

As if anticipating this change, Maeve got up from the ground, and regardless of the dust and tattered clothes on her body, she looked directly into the eyes of the black dragon and said loudly: "In exchange for the corresponding protection, I am willing to offer a treasure of the Kingdom of Connaught." ”

Treasure?

Todd looked at Maeve with interest, and lowered the dragon's head, a glint in his golden pupils.

Seeing this scene, Maeve, who was a little at ease in her heart, said calmly: "This is an ancient book that has been passed down from generation to generation by the royal family of Connaught, it is written by the Rune script, and it is said that the great god Odin from the age of the gods...... I'm sure you, as a son of the gods, will be interested in this......"

Evie and Minnie exchanged glances, and the former shouted to Maeve, "Hand over that so-called treasure, we need to check its authenticity......"

Maeve shook her head vigorously and refused, "I can't give you that book now, I want to get the promise of the son of the gods!

Evie was furious, pulled out the short sword at her waist, walked towards Maeve, and shouted, "Woman who doesn't know the situation! Do you think you still have room to bargain with the children of the gods?"

Maeve stood in place, her face pale, but her expression was determined, staring directly at the blade in Evie's hand, and she had no intention of backing down.

That's when Todd spoke.

"Without harming the Sanctuary of Asgard, I promise to shelter you and your children. ”

The dragon's deafening voice was nothing more than a heavenly sound in Maeve's ears.

She bent her knees and knelt down toward Todd.

Then she tore open the dress she was carrying and took out an old, yellowed book from the middle of the dress.

Gently placing the book on the ground in front of her, Maeve folded her hands together, palms up, the back of her hands touching the ground, and pressed her forehead against her palms, quietly waiting for the judgment of the son of the gods.

Using the Wind Pressure, Todd carefully sucked the ancient books on the ground into the dragon's claws.

Turning the first page, a familiar and shocking symbol caught his eye.

This is a symbol with an arrow on top and an inverted pyramid below.

"Crystal ......"

Todd's mouth softly spat out such a word.
