Unlike three years ago, today's Twilight City has less artistic atmosphere and more religious elements.

In the square, a statue of a dragon, symbolizing the patron god, replaces the original large fountain. Reliefs carved with legends of the gods have replaced the original marble walls.

If you listen closely, you can still hear the laughter and laughter of the crowd, but the hymns floating in the sky bring a solemnity and solemnity to the whole city.

The guards parted the crowd from both sides, clearing a way for the Holy King's father and daughter to pass through.

Holding Todd's arm tightly, Aurora suddenly pointed forward and asked the former, "Why are there so few people there?"

Todd looked in the direction of her finger.

At the other end of the square, the security sentries had used wooden barricades to isolate an area that was devoid of people compared to the crowds here.

Using his eagle eye to look over, Todd quickly noticed that something was wrong.

The plaza was deliberately divided into two zones, one full of humans and the other populated by alien creatures from the Holy Cult.

If there are visitors from outside, who are not aware of the restrictions and want to enter another area, the soldiers in charge of the guard will stand up and politely ask them to leave.

Seeing this, Todd frowned and motioned for the guards next to him to move closer.

When the group came to the junction of the regions, they happened to meet a group of citizens of the Dusk West City, gathered together to look at the Holy Cult Army at the end of the square.

Among them, a man who looked like a businessman whispered to his companion, "Have you heard about Beate?"

The other nodded, "I heard that I committed suicide in prison." ”

"What I do know is that the big-mouthed bard didn't commit suicide at all, but was secretly executed. ”

"Really?!"

"It's true, his body was burned to a piece of charcoal, how can anyone in the world commit suicide and become like that?"

"He deserves it, someone has already told him. Compared to the alien races of the Holy Cult Army, humans can only be regarded as inferior creatures now, and to provoke those elves is to seek death!"

Hearing this, Todd frowned and looked at the guards beside him.

Most of these guards were humans, but almost none of them showed disgust or confusion at these statements, as if what they said was a long-accepted truth.

Todd shook his head, grabbed Aurora's little hand, and led everyone out of the square.

Walking into the central shopping street next to Shenglong Square, Todd took Aurora and wanted to find a suitable restaurant for lunch.

To his surprise, the restaurants on the commercial street were also treated as categorical to the Holy Cult Army and human customers.

Some restaurants only accept aliens from the Holy Cult, while others divide the space into different areas, consciously separating alien creatures from humans.

After some selection, Todd found a restaurant where to eat in different areas.

Escorted by the guards, the father and daughter picked a table in the human seating area and sat down to see what was going on in the store.

With leather blankets on the floor and swords and shields on the walls, this is a restaurant with a distinctly northern décor that has been owned by either Ulster or Connaught in the past.

The shopkeeper seems to be one of the genocides that Cúchulainn sparked, which forced many people to flee their homes and move south to make a living.

The first floor of the cafeteria, with the exception of a small portion of the staff and kitchen area, is mostly a human dining area, while the second floor is only accessible to members of the Holy Army.

For such a division of the area, coupled with what he had seen and heard in the square before, Todd thought about it carefully, and felt a little emotional and helpless.

Three years ago, the Holy Army, under his leadership, entered the city and put down the rebellion.

On that bloody night, and on the Day of Execution that followed, tens of thousands of human beings were killed at the hands of the Holy Cult.

The turmoil subsided, and it took three days just to clean up the corpses in the city and clean up the mess.

Since then, there has been an irreparable estrangement between humanity and the Holy Cult.

In the eyes of humans, the Holy Cult is a servant of the gods, a strong man of will and strength, and it is not surprising that such emotions of fear and admiration arise.

And here in the Holy Cult Army, after witnessing the chaotic behavior of the human race, on the one hand, they despise the actions of this race, but on the other hand, they are afraid that they who have gone through the transformation ritual will have anything to do with them again.

At this moment, a male human and a female elf walked in at the door of the restaurant, and this special pair caused a burst of exclamations from the people.

For Twilight, where the events of Jacqueline and Beate had just occurred, the fact that humans and elves were walking together was an unusually striking scene in itself.

The female elf, dressed in a red dress and with long hair coiled, faced the gaze of everyone on the first floor, and whispered to the people around her, "Randall, I don't know if this is a good idea?"

Randall shrugged, "Barbara, you said you wanted to come here for 'Mochika Cream Soup'......"

"I know, but in the past those two guys followed, now it's just you and me, and everything looks weird. ”

The waitress of the restaurant walked up to the two of them and asked hesitantly, "Do you want to eat?"

Randall said, "Is there a quieter spot?"

The waitress mustered up the courage to ask, "Are you sitting separately?"

Barbara shook her head and said, "I'll sit with him." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a louder cry in the crowd.

"Is that man crazy?!"

"Does he want to be the second Beate?"

"Brother!

The noise on the first floor of the restaurant attracted the attention of the second floor.

A minotaur shaman, with a minotaur warrior, descends the staircase.

When he saw Randall and Barbara standing together, the minotaur warrior opened his eyes and shouted, "What's going on?"

Randall pulled Barbara behind him and said with a smile, "Brother, calm down. ”

The minotaur glared at his red eyes: "Brother?!You human who doesn't know the height of the sky!Who do you think you're talking to?!"

The minotaur shaman grabbed the warrior beside him, pointed to Randall's chest and said slowly, "He is indeed a member of the Holy Cult Army. ”

Everyone looked intently, and Randall had a round black dragon badge hanging from his chest.

"He is the only human ...... in the Holy Cult," the Minotaur shaman said with a smile, "and our gods have personally received him. ”

The minotaur warrior froze in place for a long time before he said, "But, why? Why would the Supreme Dragon God accept a human?"

The shaman turned around and walked to the second floor, dropping a soft sentence: "Who can guess the intentions of the gods?"

Watching the minotaur return to the second floor, the entire dining room was silent.

Randall smiled wryly at Barbara and asked, "Do you still want to stay for dinner?"

The latter looked at the strange eyes cast around him, and roared irritably: "Forget it!

Aurora, who had witnessed the whole incident from beginning to end, was eating the cake on her plate with a fork and asked Todd, "Father, what are they doing? Why can't we all sit down and eat together?"

Todd lowered the brim of Aurora's hat a little to cover her horns: "Because all people have fear in their hearts, fear of the future they don't understand, fear of their lingering past......"

Aurora said with a bitter face, "Father, I don't understand. ”

"You're too young to understand this. Todd patted Aurora on the top of her head, "When you're done eating these, let's go somewhere else." ”

Aurora nodded happily and returned her attention to the food in front of her.

As the sun slowly set, the father and daughter, who had been in the city for a day, returned to the palace in a carriage.

Aurora, who was holding a large pile of snacks and toys in her arms, was full of happiness and joy on her face.

Todd looked at Aurora and said, "Are you happy?"

"Happy!"

Todd stared at the dragon horns on Aurora's head, and suddenly asked, "Tell Dad, do you usually feel sick or sick?"

"Uncomfortable, sick?"

Todd's expression revealed a hint of concern: "Just find something wrong with your body?"

Aurora touched her nose with her little hand and nodded vigorously: "I can become like my father!"

"Become me?" Todd watched Aurora hold her breath, and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart: "Are you supposed to be ......?"

Suddenly, Aurora's body began to grow rapidly, her body began to grow crimson scales, and a pair of huge dragon wings spread out from behind, directly breaking through the roof of the carriage.

Watching the five-meter-long red dragon jump out of the shattered carriage and flap its wings awkwardly in mid-air, Todd covered his forehead with his hand and sighed heavily.
