Alien Knights

Chapter 226: Kind bastard

There has been a rumor that Todd, the king of the world of the Holy Spirit, has the "key" to the kingdom of heaven.

It is difficult to verify where such rumors come from. Some people say it comes from a group of scholars who are addicted to art, and some say it comes from the guards by your majesty.

Regardless of the version or the rhetoric, there is no doubt that someone has already visited another world and returned to this world safely.

On the other hand, there is no time to pay attention to the rumors of the outside world. Todd is busy receiving Emerson and Terrence among the kings, hoping to promote the "examination selection of officials" method.

"I still have some doubts. Can the way of passing the exam really judge a person's ability?" After a week of silence at home, when Terrence appeared in front of Todd again, his body was a little thin, but his spirit was stronger than before. Many: "Furthermore, this time the selection of the "Legal Counsel for the Kingdom Seat", Your Majesty, you take the initiative to give up the right to draw the paper. I hope that the scholars will form a team and work together to complete the examination paper. This matter..."

Terrence's expression was a bit awkward: "I really doubt whether those scholars can match your knowledge and ability..."

Todd glanced at the books on the table.

"Sacred Law Chapter", "Saxon Code", "Beauvai Customary Law Collection", "Taylor Law Review"...

There are no fewer than 20 legal books, and every one that looks thick can be used as a shield.

With a tremor in his heart, Todd turned his face to Terrence and said awe-inspiringly: "In my eyes, the law should belong to the people, not the plaything of a privileged class. Only by gathering the wisdom and consciousness of the widest range of scholars can Reflect the true meaning of the law!"

Terrence's eyes lit up, and then he looked at the king with respect. He nodded and said: "Your Majesty, your wisdom is unmatched! Throughout history, what you just said has never been anything. A monarch who has the will and even the courage to say it!"

Emerson touched his beard, squinted at Terrence, and slowly said: "Then, your Majesty, how should the Kingdom select the people who are involved? How can you ensure that these scholars will not take their own interests and opinions? , Do you add to the exam?"

Todd recalled the exams in his previous life, while analyzing: "First, when selecting the examiner, we must also pay attention to the ability, aptitude, and character to ensure the academic purity of the examination; secondly, once the examiner is selected, Let them all move into the headquarters of the Knight Order. They are not allowed to contact the outside world before the exam is over. Finally, during the process of writing out the papers, I hope you two will take on the role of supervisor and adjust and modify the exam papers in due course."

"There are many variable factors regarding the means and forms of paper writing. For example, each scholar can be required to write questions separately, and then all questions can be compiled together, and all questions need to be drawn randomly from them during the examination; For example, two sets of examination papers can be prepared, divided into two types, a and B, to reduce the deviation of human factors."

Terrence nodded while listening: "Indeed, there are many ways to maximize the fairness and effectiveness of the exam."

"For the rest, think about it yourself. I promise not to interfere with the written test, but I will still participate in the interview." Todd decided to proceed cautiously when it came to matters involving kingdom officials.

Watching Emerson and Terrence walk out of the room, Todd rang the bell on the table and said to the incoming attendant: "Take me all the law books on the table, hurry up!"

Seeing the book being emptied, and seeing Todd who was not upset, he sighed with ease.

"Your Majesty, Master Cumberland is here."

Todd asked strangely: "Didn't he take the lance troupe and go to the field to train?"

After getting the king's answer, the old knight walked into the room with the strange expression on his face that made Todd a little confused.

"Your Majesty, are you busy now? Hehehe."

Todd shook his head and said, "What? Is there another war in the east?"

Cumberland hurriedly replied: "The barbarian army that looted the Silver Ring Kingdom has returned to the north. Just last week, the church coalition army who heard the news was jealous of the wealth they carried and took the lead to tear up the peace agreement. , The war is on again."

"The barbarians and the church are fighting again? That's good, that's good." Todd felt a little calm, and said to Cumberland: "Then you left the training and ran back because of...?"

The big voice of the past, but today has become a whisper, Cumberland looked at the ceiling and said: "I heard people say, Your Majesty, you can..."

Todd became impatient.

"Say directly if you have something, no need to hesitate!"

Cumberland straightened his face and drew a cross on his chest: "I heard people say, Your Majesty, you have a way to guide our souls to visit the kingdom of heaven and then return safely. I want to ask if you can take me with you. Procedure?"

Todd covered his face with his hands and said with a headache, "Where did you hear about this?"

"Old Tortoise Emerson! He wrote to tell me! And he said, he wants to go too!"

Cumberland sold his old friend without hesitation.

"I must tell you in advance that going there is risky..." Looking at the resolute old knight, Todd completely dispelled the idea of ​​persuasion: "But I guess you don't care at all. Forget it, find Zhang. Sit down with a chair..."

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the carpet between the kings.

Todd leaned against the window sill, looked at the crowd outside the window, listened to the bells in his ear, and sighed deeply.

After Cumberland entered the soul space, the first half of his behavior was the same as others, surprised, excited, crazy, religious...

But afterwards, the old knight made a sad request to Todd. He hoped to meet his dead son in "Heaven".

When he first heard this request, Todd looked dumbfounded.

Here is just a virtual world that relies on supernatural powers to visualize. How can it be possible to call human souls? !

Todd explained everything to Cumberland, but at that moment, he saw another side that the old knight had never seen before.

Unlike the strong, brave, and optimistic in the past, Cumberland in the soul space is no longer the captain of the Twilight Knights, nor is it the invincible knight model people say. At that time, he was just a father, an elderly, humble, and sad father. Bending down like a man falling into the water, in an almost pleading tone, asking for a trace of comfort and mercy.

Todd hesitated.

Next, he did something that he might regret for a lifetime.

With the memory of going to Silver Circle City to promote the "Gospel Flower", Todd tried his best to recall the commander of the Royal Guards, Herman.

When Cumberland saw the young man in the hologram, he slowly walked towards him. The old knight fell to his knees, holding the non-existent son in his arms, crying like a child.

The sun was fading below the sea level, and the scenery outside the window gradually dimmed.

The king stood by the window, motionless.

Todd closed his eyes and used the thumb of his right hand to pinch the mouth of the tiger in his left hand, his face was gray: "I'm a bastard! A complete bastard!"

"If you are a bastard, there is probably no soul in heaven."

Todd followed the sound.

Rachel stood in the doorway between the kings, beside a guard with a panic face.

Todd waved his hand: "It's okay, let her in."

No matter where he went, Rachel remained as beautiful as ever.

She walked in front of Todd, watched the guards shut the door of the room quietly, and then said to the king: "How big is the wound?"

"what?"

Todd had no idea what the other party was saying.

Richel stepped forward and opened Todd's sleeves.

The scales caused by the inheritor's mutation have spread to the size of an apple.

Todd looked at each other in surprise: "How do you know?"

"How many abilities are in your body~lightnovelpub.net~ Maybe others don't know, but I always remember." Rachel slowly lowered Todd's sleeves.

Thinking of the words and deeds of the woman in front of him, Todd suddenly laughed: "I almost forgot, how good you are."

"You still want to laugh?!"

Rachel took out a map from his arms and unfolded it on the desktop, where a red cross was drawn on the north near the tundra ice.

"In the territory of the barbarians, in the north of the Ulster Kingdom, there is a country covered with snow all the year round. It is called the "Land of Shadows." Theodore once brought back a black liquid from there and healed it with it. Jerome's mutation." At this point, Rachel paused for a while and turned his gaze from the map to Todd: "The locals call that liquid "tyrant"."
