The night will pass, and the dawn will come.

When the first rays of sunshine from the east shone into this town that had experienced a night of horror, it meant that the event known as the "Overwatch Town Massacre" came to an end.

Nearly half of the town's 1,135 residents died, and their bodies were strewn all over the field, and the scene was horrific. In some streets, even when every house walks in, there is not a single living mouth in sight.

After the "Overwatch Town Massacre", it took seven days to clean up the corpses and clean up the mess. There was even a shortage of coffins for the burial of the victims, and people had to use signboards, tables and chairs to create temporary coffins.

Worse than that, the 225-man garrison at the Watch Fort had less than 100 survivors, and the Commander Sir Adams and his four knights returned to their Heavenly Father. This is a tragic loss that has never been seen in the hundreds of years since the construction of the Watch Fort.

However, there is good news in the midst of the bad news.

The barbarians, who had not invaded the south for several years, took advantage of the night of the "Watchman Town Massacre" to launch a fierce attack on the fortress. Thankfully, Knight Wilder led the remaining defenders, assisted by Father Todd, who arrived in time, to repel the enemy forces and hold the vital castle.

Todd and his party, after saying goodbye to Wilder, left the Watchtower, and before leaving, he did not forget to properly preserve the "hive" parasite he had cut down and bring it back to the camp at the foot of the mountain.

The knight Alfonso complied with the tentative agreement he had made with the priest in the winch room: he and Leslie were not to mention to anyone that Todd was the "heir of Sutherland", even his other two servants, and that the latter promised to prove the rightful source of his abilities and resolve the alienation of the heir as soon as possible.

Handing over the crystal relic to the Knights of the Western Diocese, Todd immediately led the team back the way they came, while Alfonso and his servants did not return to the Silverring City, but followed him back to Twilight.

On the afternoon of his first day back in town, Todd ignored the accumulated official duties and the inhabitants who pleaded for arbitration, and first invited four guests from the Inquisition to visit his newly built laboratory. The new laboratory, from the outside, is a rather chic three-story building, with white walls and red tiles, exquisite. In terms of layout, the first floor is a laboratory, a warehouse and a meeting room, the second floor is a living room, a library and a terrace, and the third floor is an attic and an astrological platform, all of which have been fully considered.

The new laboratory was built at the back of the town's church, and all the laboratory supplies and materials in the original monastery and the Silver Ring City were transported, and the people of the town liked to call this the "Gospel Alchemy Room".

On this day, Walton, who had no idea, walked in the front in a hurry, he was the first to push the door and enter the laboratory room, hundreds of strange-looking alchemy utensils, the wooden shelves were full of experimental materials, and the colorful liquids in the catheters made him dizzy and amazed.

"This is where the Eye of God was made?"

Hearing the Humpty Dumpty man's question, Todd smiled and nodded.

The knight didn't seem to have much interest in these things, and he coughed lightly twice, motioning for Todd to get down to business as soon as possible.

Under Leslie's strange gaze, Todd led Alfonso to the back of the lab, removed the locked iron box from the shelf, and opened it to take out syringes, microscopes, petri dishes, and other equipment. After hiding some key links and making a simple explanation, from the knight's eyes, Todd could see that the other party had believed his words seven or eight points.

Just as the knight was inspecting the equipment, Todd suddenly remembered something and made a strange request to the other party.

"Your Excellency Dekavo, I have a request. ”

Alfonso put down the microscope in his hand and signaled that he was listening.

Todd chose the words: "I'm Sutherland's successor, I have 'speed', 'weakness', 'clairvoyance', and Karin's teleportation ability, you already know it. If it's fair and equitable, should you tell me the four abilities you know about them equally?"

The knight was a little confused: "Father, I don't understand what you mean. ”

Todd said, "I mean, I've heard Leslie say that you and your servants are xenomorphs, and to be fair, you should tell me about your xenomorph abilities." Isn't that an unwritten rule among xenospecies?"

Alfonso was stunned and said later, "Uh...... It's a bit ...... Not suitable ......"

Pointing to the equipment in front of him, Todd looked very aggrieved: "In order to gain your trust, I even told you my biggest secret as an alchemist for free, can't you make up for my loss a little?"

The knight thought for a long time, and finally sighed deeply, and said slowly: "My xenomorph ability is called 'Dragon Bone', I'm sure you have seen it, there is something like a metal bone, covering my whole body. They can help me withstand blows and enhance my range of abilities. ”

"Leslie's xenomorph ability is called 'Flame Breath', and his body can eject flammable gases that can be ignited when it encounters fire. ”

"Adelina's xenomorph ability is 'Beast Language', which allows him to communicate with animals simply, pacify them and gain information. ”

"Walton's xenomorphic ability is Hawkeye, which allows him to zoom in on objects in his field of view to help him better aim and shoot. ”

Listening to the knight's introduction, when he heard Walton's ability "Eagle Eye", Todd's heart jumped, and a genius thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

After Alfonso finished talking about the abilities of the four, he asked Todd, "As for the source of the abilities in your body, I believe that you are innocent. One more thing, as you said before, can you stop the heirs from transforming into monsters and help them return to normal, can this be done?"

Putting aside the thoughts in his head for a moment, Todd thought for a moment and said, "I need to do some experiments, and it may take time. ”

The Iron Mask Rider didn't seem satisfied with the answer: "What you lack most now is time, and no one knows when the Sutherland relic in your body will explode. I will stay by your side and I will fulfill my duty as soon as it happens. ”

Todd immediately understood what the words "perform duties" meant in the other party's mouth.

Thinking of the days to come, a big sword hanging from his neck, which could cut off his head at any time, Todd's back was dripping with cold sweat, this was simply a "sword of Damocles" hanging above his head.
