Todd said to Rachel, "We'll discuss the Black Plague later. ”

The latter blinked: "There is something in the kingdom that bothers you again?"

Todd motioned for the scholars to re-cover the cage with a black cloth, then turned to Rachel and said, "We'll talk as we go." ”

Walking out of the door of the underground laboratory, the two of them entered a bright underground corridor under the arch of a group of knights.

Looking at the uniquely shaped glass lamps on both sides of the corridor, Richer said thoughtfully: "These lamps on the wall are very similar to those in the soul space. ”

"The exterior design is based on the wall lamp from my previous life, and the internal structure adopts the principle of Tesla's parasite electric board, which is the design of Terrence and Wayne. ”

Looking at the bright lamp above his head, Todd said with emotion: "In my previous life, there was such a famous saying. Technological progress often comes from two major human characteristics. ”

"Which two?"

"The first is laziness. ”

Todd's words made Rachel laugh, "You're right, what about the other one?"

A group of knights at the front of the queue pushed open the gate at the end of the passage and fell on one knee, waiting for the king to pass.

Todd stepped out of the door, looked at the blue sky outside the door, and said softly, "The other one is...... Warlike. ”

Rachel looked at Todd, and the melancholy look on his face made her smile slowly retract.

Walking through three heavily guarded checkpoints, Todd left a military-guarded research building and entered the campus of the University of Twilight.

A group of eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys and girls, who had just finished their morning classes, walked towards the dormitory with a smile while holding their books.

The sudden appearance of the King's guard of honour on the road startled the young men.

In a hurry, they hurriedly avoided the side and knelt on the side of the road.

Among them, there was a curious girl who secretly glanced up at the king, but buried her head in a panic.

Todd whispered as he walked, "These kids remind me of the old days. ”

Richer tilted her head and asked, "Monastery of St. Sidro?"

"No...... It's a little bit further back. Todd sighed faintly: "The past time was like a dream, and now life is more real." ”

Rachel took Todd's hand without a trace and said softly, "We once said that when everything here is over, we will set off for your world." ”

Todd whispered over Ritchell's words: "Wait until it's all over here......"

Richer pressed his hand slightly, and said affirmatively: "When you have fulfilled the obligations of a king, it is time to leave." ”

Todd didn't speak.

Rachel continued: "You can't protect the world forever, or do you simply not want to leave?"

Todra grabbed Richel's hand and pulled her closer to himself.

"I clearly understand that I can't protect this world forever. What I can do now is to try my best to build a balanced, effective, and long-term operating mechanism for the world. As you can see, the kingdom of heaven that houses souls, the scales that judge good and evil, and even the power of the old gods are all part of my goal. ”

Rachel rested her head lightly on Todd's arm and asked in a low voice, "I see your efforts." ”

"I have watched every brick and tile, grass and tree grow up in this kingdom, and I want to do my best to protect it, even if I don't know if the future is the right one......"

Rachel looked up at Todd and said in a firm tone, "Whatever you do, believe in yourself." ”

Todd let out a long sigh: "Don't talk about me anymore, I haven't seen you in a long time, what have you been doing lately?"

"Do you remember those notes you took from the Council of Elders?"

"Adrian's notes? Yes, I remember. ”

"And the Book of the Gods from Queen Maeve of Connaught?"

"I'm probably impressed. ”

Rachel said: "I have copied all the information in these documents related to the War of the Chosen One, the Absolute Will, the changes of time and space, and so on. ”

"In addition, with the help of the Xenogeneous Society, I went to two places. ”

"Where?"

"One is the Valkyrie village on the North Island, and the other is the underground caverns of the Shadow Country. ”

Todd was stunned: "These two places, I remember that there is a ......"

"Beacon Tower. ”

Rachel then said, "However, the beacon tower in the Valkyrie Village is no longer responsive, and the beacon tower in the Shadow Nation is located at the bottom of the sea, so it is simply inaccessible. ”

"Therefore, the research on the beacon tower did not go well, and it also cost the lives of several xenomorphs. ”

Todd wondered, "How did those xenos die?"

"I remember you saying that the land and water sources around the Beacon Tower are highly poisonous, and anyone who approaches them will quickly lose their vitality. Therefore, some xenos who are resistant to poison try to approach the Beacon Tower, but they all die in the end. ”

Todd said with a big head: "Richel, listen to me, what I said is highly toxic, it is not a poisonous miasma, it is actually a radioactive element, which can cause harm to the human body...... Forget it, you better stop letting people get around there. ”

Rachel was a little aggrieved: "Todd, do you think I ordered those xenos to die?"

Without waiting for Todd to speak, Rachel continued, "The members of the Xenomorph Society, whose ancestors have been hunting, bullying, oppressing, and infighting since the beginning of the Ancient Terro Empire. For them, this world, this land, has long lost its attractiveness. ”

"Finding a new world and starting a new life is their only goal in life, and their only hope for the future. ”

Todd was a little puzzled: "I founded this kingdom to protect everyone, including xenos, don't they want to stay?"

Rachel stared into Todd's eyes and said word by word, "The only prerequisite for this kingdom to provide shelter for all is you. But have you ever wondered if one day you leave the kingdom, who will continue to protect those helpless xenos?

Todd rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, his face full of puzzlement, and just wanted to continue to ask about the plans of the Xenomorph Association, when the knight on the side reminded him: "Your Majesty, the carriage has arrived." ”

Todd looked around, only to realize that before he knew it, the group had arrived at the gate of the University of Twilight.

Looking at the huge square, thousands of people in the black pressure were kneeling on the ground like that, and they couldn't even hear the sound of each other's ears, Todd sighed.

He said to Rachel: "Find a time, we need to have a good talk." ”

The latter nodded, put down the hood of his cloak under the gaze of everyone, and disappeared into the streets.
