Chapter 556: What I Saw and Heard in the City (I)

After a few more conversations with Ackerman and Minnie about race relations, Todd let them go first, sitting alone on the couch, looking at the cigarette butts that had not yet been extinguished, and in a silent daze.

Will there be any unpredictable situation in the combination of organisms with the Tyrant virus in their bodies and humans?

The answer to this question is what worries him the most right now.

Partly because it could spark ethnic conflict in the kingdom, and partly because of Aurora......

As soon as he thought of that innocent and lively daughter, there were instability factors in his body that might be caused by reproductive isolation, and Todd's mind could not be calm.

Just when he was uneasy, the voice of the attendant came from the door.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to disturb you, Princess Aurora has asked for an audience. ”

Todd was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Let her in." ”

Then he seemed to remember something again, and hurriedly said to the door, "Wait a minute!"

Opening all the windows, Todd waved his arm, and a gust of wind rose from the room, expelling all the accumulated tobacco fumes outside, before he said, "Come in." ”

Without waiting for the guards to open the door completely, Aurora, with her elegant princess's head crossed, used her feet together and couldn't wait to break into the room and threw herself into Todd's arms.

Aurora grabbed Todd's clothes, frowned, sniffed and sniffed, and whispered, "It smells weird." ”

Todd smiled and pulled his daughter in front of him, squatted down and asked, "At this time, you should finish your homework with the teacher." ”

Aurora puffed up her chest and said proudly, "I've done all my homework today." ”

Todd was surprised, "It's all done, it's not noon yet, what are you doing?"

"It's a secret. ”

"Tell me, in exchange I can take you out of the palace. ”

Tilting her head and thinking for a while, Aurora shrugged her shoulders: "Deal." ”

"The amount of homework assigned to me by the teachers every day is adjusted according to my learning progress. If what is taught today is grasped quickly, then tomorrow there will be an appropriate amount of content. ”

Aurora said proudly: "So, as long as I pretend that the lesson is too profound in today's class, then tomorrow ......"

Todd smiled bitterly: "Then tomorrow, the teacher will reduce the teaching content, and you can finish your homework openly and sneak out to play in advance?"

Aurora nodded smugly, tugging at Todd's sleeve and shouting, "I'm done!"

Todd smiled helplessly and said to the door, "Prepare the carriage." ”

Aurora raised her hands and cheered loudly.

Fifteen minutes later, a humble grey carriage left the side gate of the palace and headed down the mountain path towards the center of the city.

Aurora, dressed in a normal robe, stood on her seat, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and looked out the window curiously.

Todd held his cheek in his hand and looked at his daughter with a doting face.

"Your Majesty...... Where are we going now......?"

The sound of the guards outside the carriage made Todd frown.

If Huggins had been here, he wouldn't have known Todd's daily parade route without asking.

But now......

"Let's go to the central square. ”

With that, Todd leaned back against the cushions of his seat, remembering how Huggins had been lately.

In the civil strife three years ago, Huggins, as the head of the Security Service and the head of the palace, was afraid of the old friendship and the chaos within the kingdom, not only did not find out in time, but was almost deceived by the enemy.

In the handling of this matter, Todd gave Huggins a long vacation, on the one hand, to protect this old friend in the later liquidation, and on the other hand, he also realized that Huggins may be a qualified assistant, but he will never be able to assume the responsibility of the manager.

Therefore, Todd handed over all the relevant work of the Security Bureau to the hands of the Xenomorph Association, and the management of large and small affairs in the palace was also in charge of Evie and Valkyrie.

After that, Huggins wrote several letters with a vague request to return to his post, and Todd sent him to Lone Rock to coordinate the kingdom's affairs.

"Father, look!"

Aurora turned her head to Todd, pointed out the window excitedly, and said loudly, "What's that?!"

Todd looked out as he said.

In the distance, on a construction site in the far side of the inner city, a huge creature nearly four meters high and ten meters long, with horns, elephant legs, and rhinoceros heads, pulled an extra-long cart full of stones and wood, and was driven by people to an unfinished building.

"That's the Thundering War Beast. Todd touched the top of his daughter's head and said slowly, "They used to live in the deep underground caverns of the Demon Eye in Ancient City, and when I passed through there, I brought these big guys out. ”

Aurora's eyes widened and she said, "They look so tall, so big! and they can pull something that heavy!"

"The Thundering War Beast is huge, but it is a gentle herbivore. In deep caves, they are extremely rare war beasts that do not actively attack humans. ”

Todd reminisced as he said, "In the soul link with the underground war beast community, they are the easiest to communicate with compared to other ferocious war beasts. ”

"Therefore, among the war beasts brought from the north, they are also the first to be tamed, and now they are used to help the kingdom's people's livelihood, industry, transportation and other fields. ”

Aurora looked at the thundering war beast in the distance, shaking its huge body, slowly lying on the ground like a ploughing ox, letting people pass behind him to unload the goods on the cart, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Father, they look very well-behaved, maybe I can also raise one in the palace?!"

Todd laughed and said, "I advise you to dismiss this idea, these big guys look very well-behaved, but once they start a fire, they can easily break through a wall." ”

Aurora shrank her head and continued to ask, "Apart from this, are there any other war beasts that can be domesticated?"

Todd held his chin and said: "Let me think about it, it seems that the Northern Taming Institute reported that the Phantom War Beast has been initially put into use last month, plus the previous bone spur giant wolf and ratchet poisonous lizard, there are now four war beasts that can be domesticated in the kingdom." ”

"Any one of them, can you give me one and let me be a pet?"

"None of them!"

Aurora pouted, crossed her hands on her hips and whispered, "Stingy!"

Todd rubbed his fingers at his temples: "Can't you just keep a cat or dog as a pet like any other kid?"

Aurora pursed her lips: "I had a dog that died in just one day." ”

"Dead? How did you die?"

"When I picked it up, it was scared to death. ”

“......”

In such conversations, time gradually passed, the carriage slowed down, and finally stopped.

"Your Majesty, it has arrived. ”

Todd put the hood of his robe on, took Aurora in one hand, pushed the car door with the other, and stepped out of the carriage.

In fact, the central square of the evening is more than just a square, it refers to a vast area, including the main square of the Holy Dragon (formerly known as the main square of the sunset), the pilgrimage monument, the central garden, and the central shopping street.

It is often the first stop for visitors to the city, and it is also the most frequented spot for locals.

Therefore, the crowd is the best portrayal here.

Stepping on the white tiles, Todd and Aurora, escorted by a group of guards, walked along the sidewalk of the Holy Dragon Square.
