Alien Knights

In the small building in Froststone City, Deirdre covered her ears, lying on a recliner on the first floor, looking at the ceiling angrily.

The creaking sound of the bed board and those indescribable voices, like the pervasive air, penetrated all obstacles and penetrated into her ears.

Looking at the sky outside the window, it has gradually turned white. Deirdre, who had two dark circles under her eyes, covered her ears with a pillow and sighed.

In the bedroom on the second floor, Todd, who was lying on the bed, looked at the tall woman sitting on top of him and said in a low voice, "Evie, maybe we should..."

The flushed Evie looked at the man below her and said angrily, "What do you want to say? We agreed in advance that I will be on top."

"No, I'm not talking about poses, look out the window, it's almost dawn."

"So what?" Saying this, Evie sped up her movements, and her body softened after a moment of stiffness.

Gently supporting Evie, let her lie down slowly, Todd first helped her wipe off the sweat stains on her body with a dry cloth, and then covered her with a bedding.

During this period, Evie didn't move or speak, but just quietly looked at this gentle man.

Waiting for Todd to finish these things, Evie asked him a question: "What kind of place was your original world like?"

Todd was a little surprised, and replied after a moment of hesitation: "For me, there is nothing special there, it is a very ordinary world."

"I have seen the machines in the heavens, where the gods can sit in spaceships and fly into the universe; they can also predict the future by observing the sky..."

Todd smiled and said, "It's a little bit too much to say that it is predicting the future, but it is not bad for predicting the weather."

Evie, who was lying on the bed, turned sideways, supported her body with one arm, looked at Todd and asked, "What about you? What was your past godhead? Was it in charge of life?"

"In charge of life? Perhaps...the word research would be more appropriate."

Evie was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Why are the gods of the two worlds so different?"

Todd puzzled: "Difference?"

"The gods of the North Island advocate force, great success, and focus on pleasure. But you are completely different. Perseverance, humility, dedication and bravery, these rare qualities, in the past, it is hard to imagine that they will appear in a god. The most interesting thing is that the two worlds have completely opposite attitudes towards women."

"Valkyrie, the god of death on the battlefield, Odin's handmaiden, the guide of the heroic spirit... It sounds like a name that belongs to glory. However, in the legend of the gods, the Valkyries are just a group of servants. We Serving wine and food to the gods, searching for the dead on the battlefield, and even using the body to please the spirits."

Todd hugged Evie gently: "It doesn't sound like a pleasant job."

The latter let himself be held in the arms of the former: "It doesn't matter whether you are happy or not, the key is that women are always regarded as accessories by men, even if they have a godhead... However, you are different..."

Breaking away from Todd's embrace, Evie took the sword by the bed and walked towards the window on the second floor without a trace.

Todd said helplessly, "The door is downstairs."

Evie walked to the window without looking back, gently pushed open the pane, and said, "This world is cruel and ruthless, if there are more gods like you, maybe there will be more happiness and more hope. "

Before Todd could react, Evie jumped over the window and jumped into the flowers outside the small building.

Looking at the slowly rising sun outside the window, Todd sat on the bed and fell silent.

Froststone City, Temple of the Tyrant.

Transformed into a human form, Todd first looked up at the huge statue made of gold and gemstones in front of him, and then looked at the endless stream of worshipers in the temple, his eyes were calm but complicated.

Alfonso, who was standing beside Todd, was a little hesitant: "Your Majesty..."

"Just say something, don't worry."

"Are you...are you planning to give up Muxi City?"

Todd turned around in astonishment: "Abandon Muxi City?!"

Alfonso is not good at words, and he speaks bluntly: "You handed over the jurisdiction of Muxi City to the cabinet, and you took the initiative to limit your own power. Now, you come to Froststone City and start to build a new one here. Kingdom. As we all know, the Southern Empire’s attack on the parish is inevitable, is it possible... You originally planned to abandon Muxi City and use Froststone City as the new center of the empire..."

"shut up!"

Todd, who was furious, turned his right hand into the tyrant's iron claw, and bombarded Alfonso's chest heavily.

The knight in iron armor flew backward like a kite with a broken string, knocking down a huge stone pillar.

A mouthful of blood spat out from Alfonso's mouth, and the limbs of the parasite fell out of the armor like frost-beaten straw.

Amidst the screams of the believers, Todd walked up to Alfonso, looking at the pits on the opponent's armor, his lingering anger still persisted: "Music City is the kingdom I built by myself! In the most dangerous and most I didn’t even give up on that city at the difficult moment! Do you think I’m going to retreat now?!”

Alfonso laughed while coughing: "Your Majesty, I knew you would say that... If you still care about Muxi City, can I ask you one thing?"

Todd looked at the knight who had followed him through life and death for many years, closed his eyes, and nodded slightly.

"If one day, the southern pagans really attack Muxi City, I hope you can send me back to the front line of the war."

"You don't want to stay in Froststone City? Why?"

The shamans responsible for the order of the temple came to the collapsed stone pillar under the guidance of the believers.

The leading shaman, Minnie, saw Todd and Alfonso who were talking for the first time, and quickly waved back: "Go away! Don't disturb those two people, everything is fine! Nothing, nothing!"

Alfonso leaned on the broken stone pillar, wiped the blood from under the helmet, and smiled: "My children were killed by my wife, and my wife was killed by me. In this world, I have I have no relatives. The companions who cared about me, and because of me, are now buried in the ground. If there is a list of those who should die in this world, I think I should be on the first page."

"If I really want to die, please at least let me die close to my relatives, close to my companion's tombstone..."

Todd squatted down, patted Alfonso's helmet, and sighed softly: "With me, no one will die, believe me... I came here from Muxi City to fulfill this promise... ..."

Three days later, the kingdom of shadows, the ruins of the temple.

Looking at Todd who rolled over from the back of the griffin, Meredith let out a long breath: "Your arrival makes me feel a little happy, and even more so, makes me feel a little sad."

Taking out his daily necessities from the Griffin's bag, Todd patted Henry on the head and said with a smile, "There are some things that you can't hide even if you want to."

"I have lived until now, and I have seen countless people who came to the kingdom of shadows to seek power. The difference is that some people are for wealth and power, some are for revenge, and some are for seeking the pinnacle of life... But like you , Just to protect something, you are willing to give everything, this is really the first time I have seen it.”

Whispering a few words in Henry's ear, watching the griffin fly away, Todd shrugged towards Meredith: "I've heard a saying, a life without worries is not a complete life .After walking the journey of life alone, all that is left in the end is memories and regrets.”

The latter's face was full of doubts: "What does this sentence mean?"

"Leave works that future generations will look up to, break records that no one can match, create unparalleled miracles, and have children with your loved ones. These things are the most fundamental needs of human beings for life—existence." Todd smiled. Said: "For me, my existence is to protect those things I care about from harm."
