In the small building of Froststone City, Deirdre covered his ears, lying on the couch on the first floor, looking annoyed at the ceiling.

　　 The creaking and swaying sound of the bed board, and those indescribable voices, like the pervasive air, penetrated all obstacles and penetrated into her ears.

　　 Looking at the sky outside the window, Deirdre had gradually turned white, with two dark circles under his eyes, covered his ears with a pillow, and sighed.

　　 In the bedroom on the second floor, Todd lying on the bed, looking at the tall woman sitting on him, whispered: "Evie, maybe we should..."

　　 Evie, who was flushed, looked at the man under her, and said angrily: "What do you want to say? We've said it in advance, I'm going to be on it."

　　 "No, no, I'm not discussing posture. Look out the window, the sky is almost bright."

　　 "So what?" I said this, and Evie accelerated her movements, and her body quickly became soft after a while.

　　 gently supported Evie and let her lie down slowly. Todd first wiped her sweat off with a dry cloth, and then covered her with a bedding.

　　 During this period, Evie did not move or speak, but quietly watched the gentle man.

　　Waiting for Todd to finish these things, Evie asked him a question: "What is your original world?"

　　 Todd was a little surprised. He hesitated for a while and replied: "For me, there is nothing special there, it's a very ordinary world."

　　 "I have seen those machines in the heavens, where the gods can sit in the spacecraft and fly into the universe; they can also predict the future by observing the celestial phenomena..."

　　 Todd said with a smile, "Said it is to predict the future, it's a bit past, and it's pretty much the same for predicting the weather."

　　 Evie, who was lying on the bed, turned to her side, supported her with one arm, looked at Todd and asked, "Then what about you? What is your past godhood? Does it take charge of life?"

　　 "In charge of life? Maybe... it would be more appropriate to use the word research."

　　 Evie was silent for a moment, and whispered: "The gods of the two worlds, why is there such a big difference?"

　　 Todd puzzled: "The difference?"

"The gods of the North Island admire force, rejoice, and focus on enjoyment. But you are completely different. These rare traits of perseverance, humility, dedication and courage, it is difficult for me in the past to imagine that it would appear in a god. The most interesting thing is that the two worlds have completely opposite attitudes towards women."

"Valkyrie, the **** of death on the battlefield, the maid of Odin, the guide of the heroic spirits... this sounds like a glorious name. However, in the legends of the gods, the valkyries are just a group of miscellaneous servants. We Give food and drink to the gods, search for the dead on the battlefield, and even use the body to please the heroic spirits."

　　 Todd held Evie lightly: "It doesn't sound like a pleasant errand."

　　 The latter is allowed to be embraced by the former: "It does not matter whether you are happy or not. The key is that women are always regarded as accessories by men, even if they have the godhead, it is no exception... However, you are different..."

　　 freed from Todd's hug, Evie took the sword beside the bed and walked towards the second floor window without a trace.

　　 Todd said helplessly: "The door is downstairs."

Evie walked to the window without looking back, gently pushed open the pane, and said: "This world is cruel and ruthless. If there are more deities like you, maybe there will be more beauty and more hope. "

　　 Before Todd could react, Evie turned the window and jumped into the flowers outside the small building.

　　 Looking at the sun rising slowly outside the window, Todd sat on the bed and fell silent.

　　 Frost Stone City, the temple of tyrants.

　　 Todd, in the form of a human, first raised his head to look at the huge statue of gold and gems in front of him, and then at the endless stream of worshipers in the temple, his eyes calm but complicated.

　　 Alfonso, standing beside Todd, hesitated: "Your Majesty..."

　　 "Just say what you have, don't worry."

　　 "Are you... are you planning to give up West Side Town?"

　　 Todd turned his head in amazement: "Give up West West Side?!"

Alfonso was not good at words, and he went straight when he spoke: "You handed over the jurisdiction of Twilight City to the cabinet, and you took the initiative to limit your power. Now, you come to Froststone City and start to build a new one here. Kingdom. As we all know, the southern empire’s offensive against the parish is inevitable, is it possible... You originally planned to abandon West Side City and use Froststone City as the new center of the empire..."

"shut up!"

　　 Todd furiously changed his right hand into the iron claw of a tyrant, and hit Alfonso's chest heavily.

　　 The knight in iron armor flew backward like a broken kite and knocked down a huge stone pillar.

　　 A mouthful of blood was spit out from Alfonso's mouth, and the limbs of the parasite fell out of the armor like wheat stalks beaten by frost.

Amidst the screams of the believers, Todd walked in front of Alfonso and looked at the sunken pits in the opponent’s armor. His anger was still unsolved: "Twisty City is the kingdom I built with my own hands! In the most dangerous and most dangerous place. I didn’t give up on that city at this difficult moment! Do you think I’m going to retreat right now?!"

　　 Alfonso laughed as he coughed: "Your Majesty, I know you would say that... If you still care about Muxicheng, can I ask you something?"

　　 Todd looked at the knight who had followed him from birth to death for many years, closed his eyes and nodded lightly.

　　 "If someday the southern heretics really attack Twilight City, I hope you can send me back to the front line of the war."

　　 "You don't want to stay in Froststone City? Why?"

　　The shamans in charge of the order of the temple, under the guidance of the believers, came to the collapsed stone pillar.

　　The leading shaman Minnie saw Todd and Alfonso who were talking for the first time, and waved behind her quickly: "Go away! Don't disturb those two people, everything is fine! Nothing, nothing!"

Alfonso leaned on the broken stone pillar, wiped the blood flowing from under the helmet, and smiled freely: "My children were killed by my wife, and my wife was killed by me. In this world, I have already There are no relatives. I care about my companions, and because of me, they are now sleeping underground. If there is a list of people who should die in this world, I think I should be on the first page."

　　 "If you really want to die, please at least let me die close to my relatives, close to the gravestones of my companions..."

Todd knelt down ~lightnovelpub.net~ patted Alfonso's helmet, and sighed softly: "With me, no one will die, believe me... I came here from Twilight, Just to fulfill this promise..."

　　 Three days later, the kingdom of shadows, the ruins of the temple.

　　 Looking at Todd who turned over from the back of the Griffin, Meredith sighed: "Your arrival makes me feel a little happy, and even more sad."

　　 Taking out his daily necessities from the Griffin’s bag, Todd patted Henry on the head and said with a smile: "There are some things that I can’t hide."

"I have lived to this day and have seen countless people who came to the Kingdom of Shadows to seek power. The difference is that some are for wealth and power, some are for revenge, and some are for the peak of life... But like you , Just to protect something, willing to give everything, I really saw it for the first time."

He whispered a few words in Henry's ear and watched the griffon fly into the distance. Todd shrugged towards Meredith: "I have heard a word, a life without care is not a complete life. After completing the journey of life alone, all that is left in the end is remembrance and regret."

　　 The latter’s face was filled with doubts: "What does this sentence mean?"

"Leaving the works of future generations to admire, breaking unparalleled records, creating unparalleled miracles, and having children with loved ones, these things are the most fundamental human needs for life-existence." Todd smiled. Said: "For me, my existence is to protect those things that I care about from harm."
