Alien Knights

A week later, Lone Rock City, Beibu Gulf Port.

Rachel stood on the plank road at the port, looking up at the traces of the war on the city wall.

A city wall collapsed due to dragon breath. After repairing it, it obviously had a different shape and color from the surrounding city walls.

Around the city wall, there was a circle of prayer candles, and in the center of the candles, a small stone altar was built.

Flowers, food and coins were placed on stone altars under the city walls.

A middle-aged woman dressed as a priest stood in front of the altar and preached the legend of the Dragon God.

"When the sky falls to the earth, when the sun ends with dark clouds, the pagan army from the south appears in front of the city gate. Their muskets can penetrate the strongest armor, and their cannons can blow down the city gates made of steel... "

Amid the exclamations of the believers, Rachel turned her sights to the distant sea again.

A sloop sailing towards the port quickly caught Rachel's attention.

There are two flags hanging on the bow of the ship, one with a dragon spitting red flames and spreading its wings, and the other with a dark black umbrella pattern.

The helmsman driving the sailboat was obviously an experienced guy. The sailboat swung its tail with the force of the wind and stopped steadily at the end of the plank road.

A wooden springboard was placed on the deck, but no one was seen getting off the ship for a long time.

Soon, another wooden springboard was put down, forming a wider road with the previous one.

Amidst the screams of everyone in the port, a humanoid creature with a body as big as a hill slowly walked down from the deck.

His body was so huge and heavy that the plank creaked under his feet. When he just left the deck, the hull of the ship actually floated upwards.

This giant was covered in black robes, and the only thing exposed was a pair of big feet that looked like they were carved out of granite.

Rachel looked behind the giant, and she was relieved to see a petite figure.

Karin Foreman put her right hand on Marcus' back, and slowly walked off the boat under the latter's guidance. She listened to the languages ​​spoken by the people around her and the bells from the distant bell tower, and her heart that had been holding her breath finally relaxed.

She finally returned to the land of the Dragon God.

"Dragon God! What on earth is this?"

The crowd at the port slowly gathered around Marcus and Karin. The bolder ones approached and touched Marcus's robe with their hands.

Fortunately, Rachel had anticipated such a thing in advance, and a group of soldiers came to the port to maintain order and set up a human wall to surround Karin and Marcus.

Rachel walked toward the crowd, taking off the dragon-shaped badge from her neck as she walked, and held it high above her head.

Some well-informed citizens opened their eyes wide when they saw the dragon-shaped badge and hurriedly knelt on the plank road; but more people stood there confused, and only after being reminded by others did they Know who is coming.

"Anyone who owns that badge is either a guard of the Dragon God or an envoy of the Dragon God. It is said that as long as you have that badge, your soul can get rid of the shackles of the body and directly enter the Dragon God's sanctuary."

Rachel walked to Karin and whispered: "Welcome home."

Karin, who had been suppressing her emotions, suddenly burst into tears the moment she heard these words, and threw herself into Rachel's arms without any concern for the crowd around her.

Rachel carefully lifted Karin's hood. The severe burns on the latter's face made the former gasp.

Rachel gently put down her hood and said to Karin in words that only the two of them could hear: "Don't worry, as long as you return to Muxi City, everything will be solved."

Moving her gaze to the huge figure next to Karin, Rachel asked in a low voice: "Is he the weirdo you said before, the weirdo who rescued you?"

Karin nodded slightly: "Thankfully he helped me along the way, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to escape."

Rachel stared at Marcus and asked Karin: "You said he was with Miles?"

Karin said: "Yes, he and Miles are a bit like master and servant, but not quite like..."

Rachel said nothing and continued to look at Marcus, deep in thought.

Marcus tried his best to shrink his body into the robe, trying his best to avoid Rachel's eyes.

After a long time, Rachel looked away: "Let's go, this is not the place to talk."

A group of three people came to the hotel run by the Alien Association in Lone Rock City.

Rachel asked the waitress to prepare meals for the three of them, and then took Karin into the hotel room.

Marcus, on the other hand, sat obediently at the door of the room, like a watchdog, unwilling to go anywhere.

"We'll have a day's rest here, and we'll set off back to Duixi City after lunch tomorrow." Rachel helped Karin change her clothes, carefully checked the latter's injuries, and then said, "The sooner the better."

Karin touched the scars on her face worriedly and asked in a low voice: "Can the wounds on my body be healed?"

Rachel comforted: "There are the best healing experts in the Alien Association. Even those who have broken muscles and broken bones can remain intact, let alone people like you... But the wounds are small, and your eyes may not be able to heal." Easy to handle..."

Karin lowered her head and said: "I feel lucky to have survived this time. If I really lose my eyesight in this life, I think it will be nothing..."

Rachel wanted to say something else, but the trembling voice of the waitress came from outside the door: "Rachel... Sir, the food is ready..."

Rachel opened the door and found the waitress pushing the dining cart hiding in the corner, looking at Marcus at the door with a look of fear on her face.

"Put the food there and I'll get it myself."

After hearing Rachel's words, the waitress ran out as fast as she was granted amnesty.

Rachel used the power of her mind to transport her and Karin's meals into the room, and then left the other food on the dining cart with Marcus at the door.

After helping Karin get the tableware, Rachel said softly: "About the weird man at the door, have you discovered anything in the past few days?"

Karin, who hadn't had a formal meal for a long time, couldn't wait to put a piece of cake into her mouth and said vaguely: "It's hard to say, he just makes me feel strange, very strange."

"Specifically?"

"He never sleeps, doesn't interact with anyone but me, and..."

Before Karin could finish her words, there was a frightening sound of chewing and swallowing coming from the door.

With a harsh cracking sound, it seemed that food like bones was chewed and swallowed.

Karin was not surprised and said: "That guy eats like a beast. No matter what kind of food it is, even bloody raw meat, he can eat it. What's more, what's interesting is that he knows that I can't see it. Every time I always hide in a corner every time I have a meal..."

Rachel glanced at the door and whispered: "Haven't you ever thought about this problem yourself? Why does this weirdo help you escape?"

Karin stopped eating, with a look of confusion on her face: "I also find it strange. I have never had such a person in my memory, but he always gives me a familiar feeling..."

Rachel wanted to ask something more, but the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground and the sound of armor scraping came from downstairs of the hotel.

Karin asked: "Is someone coming?"

Rachel patted the back of her hand: "Todd knew you were coming back, so he sent a team of people to escort you back... Although I told him that I could take good care of you, he insisted on sending someone to help."

Karin lowered her head, her voice barely audible: "Really?"

Listening to the footsteps approaching from the door of the hotel towards the room, Rachel said to Karin: "You continue to eat, I will go out and say hello to the people who come."

Karin asked, "Who did Todd send?"

Rachel said: "Alfonso, Alfonso Decapo..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Marcus at the door suddenly heard a loud roar. Along with the sound of broken dishes, he lifted the dining car and smashed it directly in the direction of the footsteps.
