It was another lively night, with significantly more tourists than on the first day.

The monastery is a group of four people.

Huggins follows the mysterious figure of the first day, the first to disappear without a trace.

Then there was Edgar, who chose to run to watch a water show called "Sunset Mermaid" halfway through the game.

The monk with little Jerry kept the promise and was invited to the stage of the Black Sheep.

When the performance began, the combination of xenomorphic abilities and acrobatic skills in front of him made Todd sigh, and it was really hard for him to imagine that this graceful figure dancing in the air could be the same person as the black-haired and black-eyed girl in the laboratory this afternoon.

Just as he was silent and immersed in his senses, an untimely voice rang in his ears.

"Mr. Todd, do you have time?"

The monk followed the sound, and the black shadow, the man who had called himself the head of the circus last night, stood in a dark corner of the tent, smiling at him.

After thinking for a while, with a little reluctance, he finally stood up, and as the man walked out of the tent, little Jerry saw this and hurriedly walked out.

Todd didn't see it, and the girl, who had been paying attention to him from time to time, was on the high platform in the air, stopped performing in her hands, and looked at his distant figure with a worried face.

The three of them walked half a circle around the tent and came to the backstage preparation room.

The head of the circus pushed open the wooden window of the room, and the moonlight flowed into the room along the window, and he took a deep breath and made a pleasant sound in his nose.

"I have wine, mead and pomegranate juice here. Mr. Todd, would you like something?"

Touching the bridge of his nose with his fingers, the boy shook his head and rejected the offer.

The man shrugged his shoulders and unhealingly opened the lid of the cylinder and took a sip of the liquid inside.

"What is your impression of the downtown circus?"

Todd pondered for a moment, carefully choosing the words to come out: "Lively, funny, and unforgettable." ”

Looking at the boy's face, the circus director nodded with some regret: "Although your words are so polite, your expression tells me that you are the one who has seen a bigger scene." ”

Todd smiled self-deprecatingly, "Really, people who know me always say I'm not good at lying. ”

"So...... Do you know the Sutherland Relic?"

The sudden questioning made the boy freeze in place, and his intuition told him that he should deny it immediately, but his body was stiff and could not make any movements.

Seeing the other party's embarrassment, the man patted the window and said with a smile: "Hahaha, that's right, you are really a person who is not good at lying!"

With that, he reached out and led Todd and Jerry into the dark compartment hidden behind the wall. A simple wooden table and four simple chairs appeared in front of them, and a "crown of thorns" on the wall hung in the middle of the wall, with a line of small letters written in Latin underneath.

"Relief Society."

The circus director sat down in the chair directly opposite the door and motioned for Todd to sit across from him, while little Jerry was too large to sit on the ground with his knees crossed.

The man straightened his neckline and put away a smile on his face: "You can call me Throat Bone, I'm a member of the Relief Society." ”

Finding the puzzled face of the person on the other side, the throat bone asked in surprise, "Could it be that when you joined, no one mentioned the name of the relief society to you?"

After a moment, he sighed and said, "Only the ignorant and the narrow-minded would have the illusion that the aliens can still be accepted by the world. ”

Todd tentatively asked, "What would be the relief in your mouth?"

"Speaking of the Relief Society, first of all, I have to talk about the origin of our aliens. The man took out a stack of cardboard cards from his bosom and spread them out on the table.

Todd looked at it carefully, and each card was drawn with a different pattern, with different words in Latin at the corners, "Emperor", "Magician", "Sun", "Death", etc., a total of 22 cards.

He secretly said in his heart, this seems to be a common tarot card in his previous life, which is generally used for divination and fortune.

"This is a card made by the palace alchemists of the Ancient Terro Empire to distinguish between xenotypes...... Oh, I'm sorry, but at that time we were called Godborn. In those days, the Divine Descent was at the top of the pyramid of power, the existence that ruled over mortals. After the throat bone folded the tarot cards and shuffled them, he took out the top "moon" and put it on the table: "At that time, the Taylor Empire was full of religious factions. Most of the rulers who are descendants of gods believe in the three main gods of the sky, war, and order. With the passage of time, the scarcity and variability of the bloodlines of the Divine Descendants caused the number of this race to become smaller and smaller, and the mortals in the High Council gradually gained the upper hand......"

Turning over the second card, the image of the Tower appeared in front of Todd, and the throat bone continued: "A revolution was first started by religious forces, and then swept across the entire empire. The original freedom of belief was abolished, and "Monotheism of the Father" became the state religion. The Divine Descendants were reviled as aliens, all the heretics and skeptics were arrested and killed, and any books and documents containing the Divine Descendants were burned. ”

The third card, the Wheel of Fortune, is placed at the far right.

"In those times of chaos and violence, an alchemist named Sutherland stepped forward and led the survivors of the Divine Descendants to the east of the continent. In the ensuing war, in order to cover the only remaining bloodline, the sage Sutherland chose to face the army, and after one person was broken, after exhausting himself, his body was burned by the enemy for seven days and seven nights, and the ashes were scattered without leaving all the ashes. ”

Putting the cards back together and placing them in his palm, his throat bone untied the leather cylinder on his waist, and took another sip: "After that, we, who were once at the pinnacle, have become a group of xenomorphs who are on the run. In order to survive and take revenge, the remaining bloodlines chose to unite, and the relief society was born. ”

Glancing at the cross on the monk's chest, the man lowered his voice: "Why don't you think about joining the Relief Society?"

Todd frowned.

Laryngeal stood up from his chair, his head stretched forward, his face dark: "Didn't Mr. Todd think about it? You have the 'Sutherland Legacy' on you, and if it is discovered by the church, it may be ...... Denounced, the only thing that awaits you is the judgment table and the stake......"

Before he could finish speaking, a stone fell on the table.

In the next moment, Black Sheep stood in the middle of the two, his face facing the throat bone, his back to Todd, and his voice sounded more serious than ever.

"Mr. Todd, please go back today. ”

The monk stood up, feeling the tension in the air between the two, and said hesitantly, "But ...... you?"

The girl's voice was a little louder: "I have something important to say to my brother!

Brother?

Todd glanced at the pale throat bone, and realized that since it was a matter of the other party's family, it was not appropriate for him to stay any longer, so he took little Jerry out of the dark room.

Larynx sat back in the chair, looked at his sister, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Your mind still hasn't changed?"

Black Sheep sat across from him: "I said, today is my last performance. ”

The resolute attitude of the other party made the man feel a deep sense of frustration: "Marcos Byrne, who grew up with you, wanted you to give up your trip and stay in the monastery, and begged for three years, but you didn't agree. Mr. Todd has only been with you for less than a day before you offered to stay?"

The hand in the pocket of the coat secretly pinched the translucent glass crystal, and the girl nodded and said, "By his side, I can see a whole new world, a world different from everyone else. So, I beg you, don't bother him again......"

Throat took the tarot card on the table in his hand, pulled out one at random, looked at the pattern on it and smiled: "Don't bother him, when he understands the true meaning behind 'Sutherland Legacy', it's his turn to disturb the world......"

On the flipped-up card, a man hangs upside down from a T-shaped tree trunk with his hands tied behind his back.

——————————————

At noon the next day, when Todd, who was full of worries, came to the door of the underground laboratory, a familiar figure had been waiting there for a long time.

Dressed in women's light clothes, the black sheep sat down on a large leather suitcase and said to him with a smile: "Mr. Todd, I have been kicked out of the house, can you please take me in? Oh, by the way, please don't call me 'Miss Black Sheep' again, my name is Karin Foreman." ”
