Alien Knights

Perched on the huge mountain in the soul space, Todd, who turned into a dragon, looked at the tens of thousands of crusader soldiers neatly lined up at the foot of the mountain, and sighed in his heart that the world was impermanent.

Just over ten days ago, when Todd was dealing with the settlement of the mermaids, Rita, the tribal leader, inadvertently mentioned a story about a mermaid who fell in love with a human and was eventually executed.

When Todd heard this, his initial reaction was shock. After thinking about it, although he could understand this approach, he still thought it was too barbaric.

However, fate seemed to have made a joke. What Todd never expected was that he was facing the same problem today.

The chief shaman of the shaman assembly, Minnie, stood at the foot of the mountain leaning on a wooden staff and shouted loudly: "In the name of the supreme dragon god, I declare that the military trial of the crusaders has officially begun!"

Tens of thousands of crusader soldiers, orcs, werewolves, elves, lizardmen, tauren... turned their gazes to the end of the queue, and two lonely figures were brought to Todd's feet under the escort of a group of soldiers.

"Jacqueline the Elf, a member of the 29th Order of the Crusaders, met and fell in love with the bard Beate during her duty."

Minnie looked down at the pale female elf with despairing eyes, and said in a deep voice, "After several trysts with this human man, Jacqueline kidnapped him and planned to escape from Muxi City by boat and head to the south."

Minnie turned her eyes to the handsome man with the earthy face next to Jacqueline, shook her head and said, "The soldiers of the Crusaders, long before the transformation ceremony, have been told that they should abandon everything in the world, including family, past, Emotions and selfish desires...to be loyal to the faith and serve the Dragon God wholeheartedly is the honor and obsession of the crusaders."

"Jacqueline, what makes me sad is that what you have done not only betrayed your beliefs, but also your oath." Minnie moved her steps, and slowly walked in front of the elf woman, staring into the eyes of the latter, slowly Said: "And, you have rebelled against your god."

Jacqueline bit her lips tightly, and turned her head to look affectionately at the man beside her: "I fell in love with this human man, and I am willing to bear any punishment...but he is not a member of the Crusaders, I am willing to give Everything I have, as a condition of atonement, I only ask the supreme dragon god to let this man's ignorant soul go."

An orc shaman sitting on a stone pedestal at the foot of the mountain stood up and walked to Minnie, and shouted at Jacqueline with an angry face: "You have no right to bargain at all! You not only despise the favor of the gods, You have also defiled the holy and pure name of the Crusaders! You! And this filthy human being! You should be thrown into the flames of hell and burned for eternity!"

Hearing these words, the bard named Beate's knees gave way and he fell to his knees. His handsome face was distorted out of shape by fear and panic, and his whole body was shaking like chaff.

Standing in the ranks of the crusaders, the werewolf Aldnan looked at the cowardly human being, pouted and said, "Shallow women are always seduced by their skin."

Turning his head to Carroll beside him, Aldernan said in a low voice: "Elves live far longer than humans, and their strength is overwhelmingly stronger than the latter. The combination of the two is itself a mistake."

Carroll looked at the elf Barbara not far away, with a serious face and silent.

Minnie signaled to the orc shaman next to him to be calm, and turned around to ask other high-level shamans, "What do you think?"

As the commander of the crusaders, the dark elf Ackerman exchanged glances with the snake sister beside him, and said, "I always feel that that man doesn't seem like a brave guy, maybe this matter Is there another secret?"

Fried, who used to be the captain of the Falcon Chapter and now became a dwarf shaman through the transformation ceremony, stroked his beard and said after thinking: "No matter how you say it, the sins committed by these two people are unforgivable. Yes. But what Jacqueline said is correct, that human man is not a member of the Crusaders, we cannot convict him, we can only wait for the divine judgment of the Dragon God."

"Military law and sacred law are higher than all secular laws. This man has brought shame to the name of the Crusaders. I don't think Dragon God will let him go!"

"The bodies of these two people should be hung on the head of Muxi City, and their miserable state in hell should be shown to all citizens!"

Hearing the discussions of many members of the shaman assembly, Minnie walked to the foot of the mountain, looked up at the looming figure of the giant dragon amidst the clouds and mist, and asked respectfully: "The supreme dragon god, what do you think about these two people who violated the law?" , how about your Holy Judgment?"

Todd lowered his dragon head and stared at the couple of interracial lovers at the foot of the mountain without saying a word.

Everyone present looked up at the dragon, waiting for the god's judgment.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that what Todd was thinking about now had nothing to do with the judgment at all.

Humans and elves?

If two different races combine with each other, will they have normal offspring?

Will there be reproductive isolation?

Todd once learned in college that chromosomes or genes of different ethnic groups cannot interact. If they are forcibly combined, there will be four types of isolation: incompatibility, non-survival of hybrids, infertility of hybrids, and collapse of hybrids. The simplest example is the crossbreeding of a horse and a donkey to produce a mule, which is a sterile hybrid offspring.

In this way, if humans and elves combine, half-elves will be born.

Then, in theory, half-elves should also be a sterile subspecies due to reproductive isolation.

However, the tyrant virus has the ability to change the genome and chromosomes. Can its impact on species break through reproductive isolation and generate a brand new species community?

While Todd was still thinking, Minnie's question came from under his feet again.

"Great Dragon God, please lower the Holy Judgment, how should we deal with these two people?"

Todd, who came back to his senses, looked at the people at the bottom of the mountain, crouched down, stretched the dragon's head into the air, and made a deafening voice: "Jacqueline, put personal desires above beliefs, do you have Have you ever felt any regrets?"

Facing Long Wei, who was like a tsunami, Jacqueline curled up in a ball because of fear, and couldn't even speak clearly.

"You are...my god, my faith...but I never regret...what I did..."

Amidst the amazed discussion, the orc shaman shouted, "You blasphemy, degenerate!"

Todd's dark golden dragon eyes reflected the figure of an elf woman, and said in a deep voice, "Continue."

"I never thought of turning my back on you, but I really love this man..." Jacqueline's beautiful face was shining with light blue energy, and she cried: "I am willing to do it for him." Do anything just to be with him..."

Amid everyone's reprimands, Todd looked at the helpless and infatuated elf woman, and asked after a moment's pause: "If I send the two of you to the deepest depths of hell, to redeem you in pain and torment? The sins committed... But, your souls can be together, can you accept this result?"

Jacqueline raised her head, and there were still two lines of tears on her face: "Benevolent and great Dragon God! I am willing to accept this punishment, as long as I can be with my lover, even if it is hell, I will be happy... "

Todd was a little moved, and there was a trace of softness in the eyes he looked at the elf woman.

However, at this moment.

The bard named Beate suddenly rushed out and ran in front of everyone, shouting hysterically: "I'm not going to hell! I'm not going to hell!"

"At the beginning, I was just looking for excitement! That night, I made a bet with my friends. They didn't believe that I could hook up with an elf. I was drunk at the time, and I just wanted to prove myself..."

Hearing these words of the human man, there was a burst of roaring and cursing in the ranks of the crusaders.

The werewolf Aldenan touched his wolf whiskers and said with itchy teeth, "I haven't eaten human flesh for many years, and now I miss the taste..."

Carroll clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "If it can be cooked a bit, I don't mind trying it."

Jacqueline turned her head in disbelief, looked at her lover, and asked tremblingly: "You are with me just because of the bet...?"

"They all said that the women of the Crusaders are like high goddesses, human beings are always untouchable... Moreover, I drank too much at that time, and when I woke up, I was already riding a tiger..."

"Then you said you loved me, and those poems you wrote...?"

"I'm a bard! I can write scripts, and I can also act on stage myself! But how would I know that you would drag me on board and try to escape from Muxi City?!"

Todd shook the dragon's head, as if he was listening to a farce that made people laugh and cry.

He turned his head and said to Ackerman and Minnie: "The trial will be temporarily suspended, and these two people will be temporarily detained. I have something to ask you."
