Chapter 192: Two Fronts

"This young lady, food is not allowed in the library. The doorman of the library, looking at the large and small packets of snacks in the girl's hand, said with a headache.

Sabrina put on a pitiful look and said in a pleading tone, "I'll only bring a little bit in, okay?"

The staff was moved by the girl's delicate expression, and instantly wavered a little, but after thinking for a while, they still insisted on their duties: "Sorry, miss, snacks may damage the books." ”

The expression on Sabrina's face, one second the sky was still clear, the next second it was cloudy, her body arched into a curve, like a wild cat ready to attack, and her right hand was quietly stretched into her arms.

A large hand suddenly put on top of Sabrina's head, stopping her from moving: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This is my daughter, and she doesn't know much about the rules here. ”

The warm smile on the face of "Viscount Zangner" made people feel good, and the former stored the snacks in the wooden cabinet outside the library and walked into the library with his "daughter".

Sabrina looked curiously at the hundreds of bookshelves in the huge building and asked, "How did you know I was here?"

Grand Elder Lawrence pointed to his nose and replied with a smile, "This is thanks to the Viscount's ability. ”

The two of them went to a cubicle in the library.

There are no less than thirty such cubicles in the library, each of which is no more than twenty square meters in size, and it costs six bronze stars to rent it for an hour, and the customers are mostly wealthy people and scholars.

Seeing the hot tea and pastries on the desk, Sabrina picked up a cookie and stuffed it into her mouth, and said angrily, "Why don't you let me in my snacks, but you can bring them in?"

Clorence flipped through the book and said, "It's not mine, as long as you are willing to spend money, the library will offer it." ”

Sabrina rested her feet on the table, looking up at the ceiling, unladylike.

"I've reminded you more than once that in Twilight City, you have to watch your every move and don't get into unnecessary trouble. I don't think you've forgotten why we're here, right?"

Sabrina glanced at Lawrence, "To find out the truth about the 'Inheritor Army' of the Knights of the Twilight." ”

Cravence closed the book, patted the title page with his right palm, and his face was solemn: "That's right, the Knights of the Twilight West have been able to rise rapidly in just two years, defeating the Northern Islanders, barbarians, and the Silver Ring Kingdom, and occupying one-third of the land in the Moon Creek Plain. If it's just coincidence and luck, it's just too bizarre. According to my speculation, Todd Fischer, the king of the twilight, played a very important role in it. ”

"He's just a farmer's son. Sabrina picked up another piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth: "I heard that he studied at the convent of San Cidro, and his master seems to be called Myris?"

CrΓΈrence pondered for a moment, then continued: "I have looked through biographies and scholarly journals, and there are all signs that Todd Fischer is highly skilled in xenomorph studies and alchemy, which is recognized by most of the people in the city. It may have something to do with the Master Myris, but I've also heard that there is a mysterious laboratory underneath the Monastery of San Sidro. It is also possible that he gained knowledge that ordinary people could not have imagined there. But there is no way to trace these two clues at present. Myris disappeared along with the Relief Society, and the laboratory was burned down during a raid by the barbarians. ”

"As for the 'Inheritor' army, according to the report of our spy in Twilight City, the number of 'Inheritors' in the Twilight Knights has exceeded 170, and it is also subdivided into several branches according to the type of ability. Clorence stroked the book with his hand and said happily: "This information points to two points: first, it is very likely that King Dusk has mastered the method of cultivating 'inheritors', and he can transform xenomorphs and even ordinary people into 'inheritors' according to his will; ”

"Sabrina, do you know what that means?!"

The girl stopped chewing, looked at the elder, and replied slurredly, "Does it mean that the alien race is safe?"

Craving smiled and shook his head: "No, this means that whoever can get this technology can get the whole world!"

Headquarters of the Knights of the Twilight West, Council Hall.

King Todd sat on a high throne and quietly looked at the list of expeditions in his hand.

The Cavalry Regiment, the Scout Wing, the Sniper Wing, the Elemental Wing, the Sergeant Regiment and the Militia Regiment, the entire army of the Dusk Kingdom has almost been requisitioned, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dumping mission.

Todd closed the list, looked around at the kingdom commanders at the bottom, and finally leaned his body towards Cumberland: "Are you sure I don't have to participate in this battle?"

"Your Majesty, the presence of a royal family on the battlefield, or the presence of the king in person, can greatly boost morale, but first, you have no relatives who can go with the army......" Cumberland paused and glanced at Todd: "Second, the situation in the Dusk Kingdom is no longer as clear as it was during the Knights. The growth of immigrants, the expansion of the city, the contradictions of the people, it is difficult to imagine what the city would have become in the absence of the king. ”

Todd nodded in agreement.

Cumberland's next sentence surprised him a little.

"Your Majesty, since the Knights of the Twilight West declared secularization, you have naturally broken away from the Holy Order of the Church of the Heavenly Father, and the law that clergy are not allowed to marry is no longer in force for you. ”

When Todd heard this, he had already guessed what the old knight wanted to say next.

"Looking at the entire continent, no matter which country it is, the situation where there is only one member of the royal family can be said to be extremely rare. Cumberland looked at the king's face and lowered his voice: "If I remember correctly, Your Majesty, you are also seventeen years old this year, and it is time to consider adding members to the royal family......"

Todd looked helpless, waved his hand, signaled the topic to stop for the time being, and turned his gaze to Huggins: "This battle, the commander of the Knights of the Twilight West, you are temporarily in charge, but what's the problem?"

Huggins saluted: "Many of the captains in the Knights of the Twilight West have been my comrades-in-arms and friends in the past, and there will be no obstacles in combat coordination and command transmission. Moreover, in this battle, Lord Cumberland has already set a specific policy to meet the battle, and my task is only to follow the policy and defend the fortress. As for the defense of Twilight City, and His Majesty's duty to protect it, Alfonso will be in charge for the time being while I am away. ”

Tapping his fist on his breastplate, Alfonso, a knight who was not good at words, bent down and showed his determination to the king with his actions.

Cumberland nodded to the commanders beside him, and then said to Todd, "Tomorrow morning, the kingdom's army will go to battle. Your Majesty, please await the news of our triumphant return!"
