Alien Knights

Eliard looked at Rachel's stubborn face, as if he saw that tenacious girl who was as tough as rush grass more than ten years ago.

After a moment of distraction, Eliade slowed down his tone: "Rachel, I know what you have done these years, and I also understand that you want to find a way to freedom for the alien race. However, things are not like you It's as simple as imagined...just relying on supporting a king can't fundamentally solve the current plight of the alien species."

Rachel seemed to have something to say, but she opened her mouth and finally gave up.

"Let's not talk about this." Iliad picked up the book on the table again, opened it and looked at it and said: "I am very interested in these microbial theories written by Terrence. If you have a way, I hope you can See more books of this type."

Rachel nodded lightly: "I will send someone to buy some more Muxi University textbooks and send them here."

"Parasites, bacteria, viruses... It's really hard to imagine that there are such wonderful things in a space the size of a needle eye. This theory has opened up a new field of biology, and many problems will be solved because of this discovery "Iliad moved his gaze from the book to a model microscope not far away: "That fellow Theodore, if he is still alive today, he must be happy for this great discovery."

"Elder Eliard, do you know? The founder of microbiology is none other than the Holy King of Muxi City."

Eliade turned around and looked at Rachel with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Of course I know that the man named Todd started everything from scratch... Rachel, do you know? There's always real joy on your face when you mention that person."

"I, do I have it?" Rachel turned her head to the glass jar, and was surprised to find that her face was full of bright smiles from the reflection.

Looking at the woman's expression, Iliad instantly understood something.

"Rachel, how did the Holy King of Muxi treat you?"

Rachel's smile faded away slowly, leaving only a trace of gloom on her face: "He... treats me very well."

Eliade paid attention to her expression and asked, "Really?"

Rachel nodded firmly: "Really."

Iliad stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and said, "You left Muxi City because he was concerned about your identity?"

Rachel shook her head slightly: "No, I left him on my own initiative."

Eliade closed his eyes and sighed, "Oh, is it because of your body?"

Rachel didn't speak, but lowered her head a little lower.

"Using the resurrection ceremony to transfer a person's soul, the best subject is a corpse that has been dead for no more than 12 hours. But this kind of ceremony has several biggest problems. One of them is the body after the soul is transferred. Although it can speak and Movements look no different from ordinary people, but some basic physiological functions have lost their effectiveness. Female reproductive function is one of them..."

Rachel's mouth was full of bitterness: "I understand what you said."

Iliad stroked his beard and said helplessly: "For a kingdom, heirs are indeed the most important thing. I can understand that you are willing to leave him on your own initiative... But don't you feel it is a pity? After all, it is You, help that holy king, build Muxi City into what it is today step by step. Leaving like this is tantamount to giving up everything."

Rachel shook her head with a smile: "A craftsman has meticulously created a perfect work of art. No matter how much the craftsman likes this work, there is no need to forcefully occupy it. For this work, find someone who can appreciate it." And the owner who cares for it is the wish that this craftsman should have."

Eliade touched his bearded hand and stopped. He looked at the calm woman in front of him in surprise, and said in disbelief: "Rachel, you have changed. Or, you have grown up. In the past, you only had hatred and anxiety in your heart, but now, I see a A strong-willed woman."

The old man stood up and said happily: "During the time you grew up, I was always worried that you would become that woman one day..."

Seeing Eliade hesitate to speak, Rachel smiled and said: "I am me, she is her, I will never..."

Before the words were finished, there was a long and continuous sound of horns from outside the room.

Rachel's smile froze on her face, and her calmness and confidence gradually faded from her face.

Eliade looked out the window, his brows were furrowed and his face was serious.

"The sound of the horn means that... Eleanor... is back."

Twilight City, northern port area, abandoned shipyard, late at night.

The werewolf Aldenan stretched out his sharp claws, grabbed the top of the stone fence, arched his back, and with a sudden force on his legs, he turned over the high wall with a light figure.

Looking at the dark building under the night, Aldernan's eyes were sharp and his face was solemn.

"Hey, hey! Aldernan! Help me! I can't get up!"

Hearing this rough and dull voice, Aldernan rolled his eyes and turned to look at the orc Carroll in the corner.

"Carol, maybe the task of watching the wind would be more suitable for you?"

Carroll looked up at the werewolf on the wall, and said angrily, "I finally found the trace of that bastard, how could I just wait here?!"

Aldernan said with a headache: "Your body is too heavy, you can't climb up at all..."

There was a loud bang.

Carroll punched a big hole in the stone wall, and with a step of his right leg, he went straight through the hole.

Looking back at the stunned Aldernan, the triumphant Carroll blew the dust off his fist and said happily, "This is still the way, it's straightforward."

"You idiot with a brain full of muscles!" Aldernan jumped off the wall and gave Carroll a shudder: "Such a loud noise will wake others up!"

The two looked at the abandoned shipyard in front of them at the same time, except for the sound of waves hitting the reef and the sound of wind blowing through the sky, there was no other sound.

Carroll looked at Aldernan suspiciously: "Is there something wrong with your intelligence, that guy named Wayne Dunlop is really here?"

"Intel can't be wrong."

Aldernan approached the abandoned shipyard on tiptoe, and looked in through the dilapidated door. Inside was a huge shipyard, but it was overgrown with weeds and littered with garbage.

"This shipyard belongs to a chamber of commerce in the north. I heard that it was originally intended to be used for the construction of medium-sized cargo ships. Later, due to the high debts, it was confiscated by Muxi Bank for debt repayment." Aldernan said, walking into the dock from the wooden boards: " I spent a lot of money and asked someone to get the following information from the best information dealer: The scholar who inoculated us that day, named Wayne Dunlop, is a professor of microbiology at Musey University. He's been around here."

Carroll squatted down, lifted a wooden board, looked at the fleeing insects, and said disappointedly: "It seems that no one has been here for at least a year, nothing at all!"

Aldernan lay on the ground, put the wolf ears on the ground, listened for a while, got up and said to Carroll: "There is a sound from the ground."

"Underground?!" Carroll stepped on the stone under his feet: "The sea is under our feet. Did you hear the sound of sea water?"

"Transformed into the current appearance, the discrimination of sound and smell is hundreds of times stronger than that of ordinary humans. I'm sure that the sound coming from the ground is definitely not the sound of water!"

Carroll scratched his head: "Then what should we do now?"

Aldernan pointed to the sea water in the center of the dock and made a gesture of jumping.

"Jumped into the sea from here?!" Carol opened his eyes: "Are you crazy?!"

Aldernan shrugged: "Do you still want to find Wayne Dunlop? This is the only hope for an answer."

After saying this, Aldernan jumped into the seawater pool of the dock without hesitation.

Carroll shook his head helplessly, pinched his nose, and jumped into the sea.
