Alien Knights

Melis was originally retreating in the monastery, and there weren't many things that could make him leave suddenly without saying goodbye.

Other things are hard to say, but the murder of his illegitimate son definitely gave him a reason to put everything aside.

Todd recalled that night, Melis left without saying goodbye, in such a hurry that he didn't even leave a note.

At that time, Melis must have received notice from others, and then he left the monastery to rush to deal with Marcos' funeral affairs.

Further speculation suggests that this "other person" is likely to be someone in the Presbyterian Church, who promised to help Melis retrieve Marcos' head and body and use the technology of the Presbyterian Church to "resurrection" Marcos.

After witnessing what the church did, Melis would naturally choose to break with it and treat the church as an enemy.

In this way, it makes sense that in order to take revenge, Melis appeared in Taylor City and used the black plague to destroy the entire city.

The Relief Society under the Presbyterian Church has been studying alien technology. Its president, Theodore, once had a relationship with Todd, and stated that he had been studying the successor's technology and inadvertently discovered " The principle of "Heir of the Dead".

After that, Throatbone killed Theodore and stole the latter's research results, which naturally included the technology of the "Successor of the Undead".

Things have developed here, and in Todd's sight, as an important part of the black plague, another important character has been introduced - the Throat Bone.

Back then, in the capital of the Southern Empire, Myris once mentioned to Todd that as Throatbone, a wanted criminal of the Presbyterian Church, he had defected to the Empire and had been developing weapons such as the "Successor of the Undead".

If the development of this weapon is completed, resulting in the emergence of the "Black Plague", the whole incident will be closed in terms of reasoning.

Now, there are several key questions.

First, to what extent has the Black Plague been studied, and can it be used as a biological weapon at will?

Second, the Black Plague comes from the biological weapon technology called the Necromancer Successor. This technology was originally developed by Theodore. Later, Throatbone killed him and seized this technology. Now, is there anyone else in the Presbyterian Church who knows about this technology and can find a way to end it?

Third, whose hands is the black plague now? Miles? Throat bone? Or the Southern Empire?

Huggins saw that Todd had been thinking for a long time, so he asked: "Your Majesty?"

Todd raised his hand to signal him to be silent for now.

Todd used to think that the black plague was caused by the group of people in the Presbyterian Church, but now it seems that it is related to Miles, Throatbone, and the Southern Empire.

The black plague has now spread in the ocean, and according to Valkyrie's report, the "undead armies" that were transformed in Taylor City are invading everywhere, and some have even entered the territory of the Southern Empire.

Therefore, looking at it this way, neither Throat Bone, Miles nor the Southern Empire have the ability to completely control the spread of the virus, and the entire situation is developing in a direction that is out of control.

Thinking of this, Todd suddenly came up with an idea. Could someone's ultimate goal be to see the black plague spread?

Todd quickly dismissed the speculation.

The wanton spread of the black plague is not good for anyone.

Just imagine, if the undead army occupied the entire world, no living thing would be able to survive alone. No one is stupid enough to let death spread everywhere.

However, what if the mastermind behind the spread of the Black Plague found a way to resist the poison of the Black Plague...

"Hudgens, can you still contact Myris?" Todd asked in a deep voice, "I want to see him."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I haven't heard from Miles since I met him in Taylor City."

Todd asked again: "If Mairis is the real culprit behind the black plague outbreak in Taylor City, then he must have a way to avoid being harmed by the plague. Did he tell you?"

"No, sorry."

"The picture in the soul image is too dark, I can't see any clues, but when you saw him, did you see anything unusual? For example, his behavior?"

Huggins tried his best to recall it and said slowly: "Myris looks a little thin, but he was like that before; but Marcos next to him, if that is really a resurrected corpse, then I think He still retains some consciousness..."

Todd asked: "You mean, the resurrected Marcos still has the ability to think?"

"Your Majesty, I know what you are questioning. How can a resurrected corpse have a soul? However, I vaguely remember that when Marcos attacked me and retreated, he glanced at me. That look seemed It was he who remembered me..."

"you sure?"

Huggins shrugged: "But maybe I saw it wrong. It was really dark at that time. Maybe it was just my illusion."

Todd sat back at the conference table disappointedly, reopened Huggins' soul memory, and stopped at the moment when Myris appeared. He said softly: "He is a very good teacher. No one expected that things would turn out this way. Today’s step.”

Huggins said with emotion: "When he was at San Sidro Monastery, Mairis took special care of Marcos. No matter what trouble the boy got into outside, Mairis would try his best to help him. If Marcos really He is his son, so the stimulation of digging up his body from the grave and seeing his head in the alien dungeon is indeed enough to drive this old man crazy."

Todd looked at the ceiling and sighed.

Huggins touched his chin and said, "If the person who saw Miles was Karin, the old man might even listen to what the girl said."

Todd glanced at Huggins, who didn't know about Karin's disappearance.

Huggins continued: "Marcos's unrequited love for Karin was well known to everyone at the time, so Miles was quite indulgent towards Karin."

Todd said: "Hudgens, go back to Twilight City."

Huggins didn't react at first: "Oh, yes, Your Majesty."

Then, huge shock appeared on his face: "Wait a minute! Your Majesty, you mean, I can?!"

Todd nodded: "I asked you to leave in the first place to prevent that incident from affecting you. Now that everything is calm, it's time to come back."

Huggins stood up excitedly: "Your Majesty, I will not disappoint your expectations!"

"Sit down first. When you come back, the first thing you will be responsible for is the internal management of the royal city. In addition, the work of the Muxi Security Bureau has now been split into two parts, the internal inspection of the kingdom and the inspection of outsiders. . The internal audit work and external inspection you will be responsible for have been handed over to the Knights and Shaman Assembly."

Huggins nodded eagerly and said, "No problem, I have no objection to that."

Todd waved his hand: "Don't agree so quickly. A group of refugees from the ocean have recently arrived and have officially applied to become citizens of Twilight West City. I have agreed verbally, but in practice there will be many difficulties. You return The first thing Twilight West City did was to try to contact their representative, Rita, the leader of the Salamo Mermaid Clan, to discuss how to resettle these refugees."
