Alien Knights

While Todd and Deirdre were loving each other, the sound of hurried footsteps downstairs made the former frown.

Todd patted Deirdre's arm and said softly, "Take a good rest."

After saying this, he turned and walked out the door.

Evie, with an anxious face, stood at the entrance of the corridor, saw Todd walking towards him, and hesitated to speak.

Todd closed the door and asked Evie, "What's wrong?"

The latter glanced at the bedroom and said in a low voice, "Come with me to the temple. The envoys from the Kingdom of Connaught want to see you, and all the shamans have arrived."

As Evie walked towards the temple, Todd asked strangely: "Why did the Kingdom of Connaught send envoys here? Aren't we at war? What is it?"

"Just half a month ago, the Kingdom of Ulster fought undeclared war against the Kingdom of Connaught." Looking at the distant sky, Evie said quickly, "The Kingdom of Connaught has lost."

Todd shrugged: "This is normal, Cu Chulainn, the dead gun and the sudden attack, Connaught has no possibility of victory."

Evie turned her face to the side, and shook her head at Todd: "What I said was defeated, I mean Connaught... the country has already perished."

Todd took a breath: "Subjugation?!"

Evie pointed in the direction of the temple: "Connaught's envoy is waiting in the temple. I don't know the specific reason...wait a minute!"

Before she finished speaking, Evie suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She turned her head and looked Todd up and down, causing the latter to be puzzled.

Evie narrowed her eyes and asked Todd, "Are you planning to just go there?"

Todd looked down at his clothes, there seemed to be nothing inappropriate, and he looked at Evie suspiciously.

Evie said in a deep voice: "I suggest you, it's best to transform into a dragon form before meeting that messenger..."

Todd frowned: "Turning into a dragon shape? Are you sure? It takes quite a long time just to use the "shape" ability to re-change the shape..."

Evie approached Todd and whispered, "The identity of this messenger is a bit special..."

When Todd turned into a dragon and landed on the square behind the temple, he finally understood what Evie meant by "special".

This emissary is none other than Connaught's Queen Maeve.

Looking at the beautiful woman kneeling and trembling at his feet, and the two and a half boys beside her, Todd sighed with a headache.

Turning his gaze to the shaman Minnie at his feet, Todd raised his chin.

Minnie took two steps forward knowingly, and said, "Connaught's messenger, please tell the Son of Gods the details of what happened."

Still terrified and uneasy on her face, Maeve talked about the war half a month ago in intermittent words.

On an early morning half a month ago, a headless messenger carried by a war horse ran into the gate of Connaught's capital, opening the beginning of the kingdom's nightmare.

Cu Chulainn led the army, and in just one day, they broke through the three fortresses on the border of Connaught.

Cu Chulainn, who was already in the form of a monster, held a huge gun of death. Facing the city walls, defenders, bows and crossbows, he was like no one on the battlefield.

When he threw the silence in his hand, the scarlet spear hovered and galloped in the air, like an ancient magic weapon with life, it pierced through the body of every defender, turning a fortress into a For a dead city.

Evie, who was standing next to Todd, heard this, and asked in disbelief: "Throwing that spear can kill everyone in a fortress at once?!"

Queen Maeve nodded vigorously and said: "I swear in the name of my ancestors, everything I said is true! The spear was like a red light in the air, passing through the bodies of every Connaught soldier and taking them away. life, leaving only blood holes!"

Todd fell into deep thought while listening to Queen Maeve's narration.

Two things are certain.

First, Cu Chulainn has been reduced to an out-and-out monster, probably losing the most basic human nature.

The second thing, Cu Chulainn may have found an advanced use for the gun of death.

The Gun of Death, as a weapon of the ancients, is somewhat similar to modern tracking missiles in a sense.

It can lock onto specific dark energy wavelengths and attack them.

The dark energy resides in every living being and is the most basic element that constitutes the soul.

After analyzing it in this way, the deadly gun in Cu Chulainn's hands, in terms of attack mode, can not only realize a single attack, but also a group attack.

When attacking alone, you only need to lock the dead silent dark energy wavelength on a specific creature; while attacking in groups, you only need to lock the target within the dark energy wavelength range of a group (such as human beings).

In other words, one attack of Cu Chulainn can destroy all enemies within a certain range.

The threat he could pose naturally became a serious concern for Todd.

Evie continued to ask Maeve: "Then what do you want to seek when you come to Froststone City this time? Borrow troops to help you restore your country?"

Maeve was in a hurry when she heard the words, she quickly shook her head and denied: "Under the attack of Cu Chulainn, Connaught's city was burned to ruins, and the corpses were piled up into hills. This kingdom has turned into a purgatory on earth, and there will be no more basis of existence."

"I came here to ask for your protection, son of the gods, to protect me and my two children from the flames of war..."

Hearing Maeve's request, Evie curled her lips: "Not long ago, Connaught and Froststone City were sworn enemies... Today, the army is out of service and the kingdom is destroyed. Now you come to seek refuge. How can it be so simple in the world?" thing?"

"You're right, I understand all these truths..."

As if she had anticipated this change, Maeve got up from the ground, and regardless of the dust and tattered clothes on her body, she looked straight into the eyes of the black dragon and said loudly: "In exchange for the corresponding protection, I am willing to offer Connaught A treasure of the kingdom."

treasure?

Todd looked at Maeve with interest, and lowered the dragon's head, with a little light shining in his golden pupils.

Seeing this scene, Maeve, who felt at ease, said calmly: "This is an ancient book passed down from generation to generation by the Connaught royal family. It is written in runic script, and it is said to come from the great god Odin in the age of the gods... I I believe that, as the son of the gods, you will definitely be interested in this..."

Evie and Minnie exchanged glances, and the former said loudly to Maeve, "Hand over that so-called treasure, we need to verify its authenticity..."

Maeve shook her head vigorously, and refused: "I can't give that book to you now, I want to get the promise from the Son of God! He must guarantee the safety of our mother and child!"

Evie was furious, she pulled out the dagger at her waist, walked towards Maeve, and shouted sharply: "A woman who doesn't understand the situation! Do you think you have room to bargain with the son of the gods?"

Maeve stood where she was, her face was pale, but her expression was firm, she looked directly at the weapon in Evie's hand, and she had no intention of shrinking back.

At this moment, Todd spoke.

"Under the premise of not damaging the sanctuary of Asgard, I promise to protect you and your children."

The deafening sound of the giant dragon, in Maeve's ears, is nothing more than the sound of nature.

She bent her knees and knelt toward Todd.

Then, she tore off the dress she carried with her, and took out an old and yellowed book from the interlayer of the clothes.

Gently placing the booklet on the ground in front of her, Maeve folded her hands, palms up, the backs of her hands touching the ground, and rested her forehead on her palms, quietly waiting for the Son of God's verdict.

Using the "wind pressure" ability, Todd carefully inhaled the ancient book on the ground into the dragon's claw.

Turning to the first page, a familiar yet shocking symbol caught his eyes.

This is a symbol with an arrow on top and an inverted pyramid on the bottom.

"Crystal Su..."

Such a word came out of Todd's mouth lightly.
