Alien Knights

"Miss, you can't bring food in." The doorman of the library said with a headache, looking at the big and small bags of snacks in the girl's hands.

Sabrina put on a pitiful look, and said in a pleading tone: "I only bring in a little, is that okay?"

The museum staff was moved by the girl's delicate expression, and was a little shaken for a moment, but after thinking for a while, they still insisted on their duties: "Sorry, miss, the snacks may damage the books."

The expression on Sabrina's face, the sky was clear one second, and the next second was cloudy. Her body arched into a curve, like a wild cat ready to go, and her right hand was quietly stretched into her arms.

A big hand suddenly covered Sabrina's head, preventing her from moving: "Sorry, sorry. This is my daughter, and she doesn't quite understand the rules here."

The warm smile on the face of "Viscount Zangnar" made people feel good. The former kept the snacks in the wooden cabinet outside the library, and walked into the library with his "daughter".

Sabrina looked curiously at the hundreds of bookshelves in the huge building and asked, "How did you know I was coming?"

Elder Clarence pointed to his nose and replied with a smile, "This is thanks to Lord Viscount's ability."

The two came to a small cubicle in the library.

There are no less than 30 such compartments in the library, each of which is only 20 square meters in size, and you need to pay 6 copper stars for an hour of renting. Most of the customers are wealthy people and scholars.

Seeing the hot tea and pastries on the desk, Sabrina picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth, and said angrily, "Why don't you let in my snacks, but you can bring them in?"

Clarence flipped through the books and said, "It's not mine. As long as you are willing to pay, the library will provide it."

Sabrina put her feet on the table, looking up at the ceiling, without any ladylike posture.

"I have reminded you more than once, in Muxi City, you must pay attention to your every move and don't cause unnecessary trouble. I don't think you will forget, what is the reason we came here?"

Sabrina gave Clarence a sideways glance: "In order to find out the truth about the "Successor Army" of the Muxi Knights."

Clarence closed the book, patted the title page with his right palm, and said solemnly: "That's right, the Muxi Knights were able to rise rapidly in just two years, successively defeated the North Islanders, the barbarians, and the Silver Ring Kingdom, and occupied one-third of the Moonbrook Plain. If it is just a coincidence and luck, it is absolutely nonsense. According to my speculation, the King of Muxi—Todd Fisher, played an extremely important role in it."

"He's just a farmer's son." Sabrina picked up another piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth: "I heard that he once studied at the San Sidro Monastery, and the master seems to be called Myris?"

Clarence pondered for a while, and then said: "I read biographies and academic journals, and there are signs that Todd Fischer has extremely high attainments in alien species research and alchemy, which is recognized by most people in the city. This may be related to that master Myris, but I also heard that there is a mysterious laboratory underground in the San Sidro Monastery. He may also have obtained knowledge that ordinary people can't imagine. But there is no way to track down these two clues. Myris disappeared with the Relief Society, and the laboratory was burned during a raid by the barbarians."

"As for the "Successor" army, according to the report from our spy in Muxi City, the number of "Successors" in the Muxi Knights has exceeded 170, and they have been subdivided into several military branches according to the type of supernatural power." Clarence stroked the book with his hand, and said happily: "These information points to two points: 1. The king of Muxi may have mastered the method of cultivating "Successors". He can transform even ordinary people into "Successors" according to his will; He found a way to suppress the mutation of the "successor", so that the breeding work can be carried out on a large scale, without having to consider the stock of the "Sutherland heritage"."

"Sabrina, do you know what that means?!"

The girl stopped chewing, looked at the elder, and replied inarticulately: "It means that the alien race is safe?"

Clarence shook his head with a smile: "No, this means that whoever can get this technology will get the whole world!"

Muxi Knights headquarters, meeting hall.

King Todd sat on a high throne, quietly looking at the expedition list in his hand.

The cavalry regiment, the scout regiment, the sniper regiment, the element regiment, the sergeant regiment and the militia regiment, almost 70% of the entire Muxi Kingdom's army has been conscripted, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have been dispatched in full force.

Todd closed the list, looked around at the commanders of the Kingdom, and finally turned his body to Cumberland: "Are you sure I don't need to participate in this battle?"

"Your Majesty, the appearance of a royal family on the battlefield, or the presence of the king in person, can greatly boost morale, but firstly, you have no relatives who can go with the army..." Cumberland paused, and glanced at Todd: "Secondly, the situation in the Muxi Kingdom is no longer as clear as it was during the Knights. With the increase of immigration, the expansion of the city, and the conflicts among the people, it is hard to imagine what the city will look like in the absence of the king."

Todd nodded in agreement.

What Cumberland said next surprised him a little.

"Your Majesty, since the Muxi Knights announced the secularization, you have also naturally left the holy order of the Church of the Heavenly Father, and the law that the clergy are not allowed to marry is no longer valid for you."

Hearing this, Todd already guessed what the old knight wanted to say next.

"Looking at the entire continent, no matter which country it is, it is extremely rare for the royal family to have only one member." Cumberland looked at the king's face and lowered his voice: "If I remember correctly, Your Majesty is seventeen years old this year. It's time to consider adding members to the royal family..."

Todd showed helplessness and waved his hand, indicating that this topic should be stopped for now, and turned his attention to Huggins: "For this battle, you will be the commander of the Muxi Knights for the time being. What's the problem?"

Huggins saluted: "Many captains of the Muxi Knights used to be my comrades-in-arms and my friends. There will be no obstacles in terms of combat coordination and command delivery. And for this battle, Lord Cumberland has already set a specific strategy for the battle. My task is to follow the guidelines and defend the fortress. Regarding the defense of Muxi City and His Majesty's guardianship, Alfonso will be in charge for the time being while I am away."

Hitting the breastplate with his fist, the knight Alfonso, who was not good at words, bent down and expressed his determination to the king with actions.

Cumberland nodded to the commanders around him, and then said to Todd: "Tomorrow morning, the Royal Army will go to the battlefield. Your Majesty, please rest assured to wait for the news of our triumphant return!"
