Alien Knights

Chapter 463: Connaught's bad news

While Todd and Deirdre were tepid, the hurried footsteps downstairs made the former frown.

   Todd patted Deirdre’s arm and said softly, "Get a good rest."

   After saying this, he turned and walked out of the room.

   Evie, with an anxious face, stood at the entrance of the corridor, saw Todd approaching oncoming, and stopped talking.

   Todd closed the door and asked Evie: "What's the matter?"

   The latter glanced at the bedroom, and whispered: "Come with me to the temple, the messenger of the Connaught Kingdom wants to see you, and all the shamans have arrived."

  While following Evie towards the temple, Todd asked strangely: "How can the Kingdom of Connaught send messengers here? Are we not fighting? What is it?"

   "Just half a month ago, the Ulster Kingdom undeclared war against the Connaught Kingdom." Evie looked at the distant sky and said quickly: "The Connaught Kingdom is defeated."

   Todd shrugged: "This is normal. Cú Chulainn, the Gun of Silence, plus a sudden attack, Connaught has no chance of victory."

   Evie turned her face and shook her head to Todd: "What I said was defeated, I mean Connaught... the country has been subjugated."

   Todd took a deep breath: "Subjugate the country?!"

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

   Before finishing speaking, Evie suddenly stopped.

   She turned her head and looked at Todd up and down, which made the latter bewildered.

   Evie squinted her eyes and asked Todd, "Are you going to go there like this?"

   Todd lowered his head to look at his clothes. There seemed to be nothing inappropriate, and he looked at Evie with a puzzled look.

   Yiwei said in a deep voice: "I suggest you, it's better to turn into a dragon to see the messenger..."

   Todd frowned: "Into the shape of a dragon? Are you sure? Just using the "Shaping" ability to change the form again will take a long time..."

   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 the "special" in Evie's mouth and what it meant.

   This messenger is no one else, but Queen Maeve from Connaught.

   Looking at the glamorous woman kneeling and shivering at his feet, and the two and a half boys next to her, Todd sighed with a headache.

   Turning his gaze to Shaman Minnie under his feet, Todd raised his chin.

   Minnie walked two steps forward consciously, and said: "Envoy of Connaught, please tell the children of the gods the details of the matter."

   There was still horror and anxiety on his face, Maeve used intermittent words to talk about the war half a month ago.

   Just half a month ago, one morning, a war horse carrying a headless messenger ran into the gate of Connaught’s capital and opened the nightmare of the kingdom.

   Cuchurin led the army, and in just one day, he broke through the three fortresses on the border of Connaught.

   already in the form of a monster, Kuchulin, holding a huge gun of silence, facing the city walls, defenders, bows and arrows, and crossbows, he is on the battlefield like no one.

When he tossed the dead silence in his hand, the scarlet spear hovered and galloped in the air, like an ancient **** soldier with life. It penetrated the body of every defender and changed a fortress while breathing. For a dead city.

   Evie, who was standing next to Todd, asked in an incredible way: "Throwing that spear can kill everyone in a fortress at once?!"

Queen Maeve nodded vigorously and said: "Swear in the name of ancestors, what I said is true! That spear is like a red light in the air, passing through the bodies of every Connaught soldier, taking them away. Only blood holes are left in his life!"

   Todd fell into deep thought as he listened to Queen Maeve's narration.

   There are two things to be sure.

  First, Cú Chulainn has become a total monster, and it is very likely that he has lost the most basic human nature.

   The second thing, Kuchurin may have found the advanced usage of the Spear of Silence.

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

   It can lock a specific dark energy wavelength and attack it.

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

   In this way, the Silent Gun in the hands of Kuchulin can already achieve not only a single attack but also a group attack in the attack mode.

   In a single attack, it is enough to lock the silent dark energy wavelength on a specific creature; while for mass attacks, it only needs to lock the target of its attack within the dark energy wavelength range of a group (such as humans).

   In other words, an attack by Cú Chulainn can destroy all enemies within a certain range.

   The threat he can cause has naturally become a major concern for Todd.

   Evie continued to ask Maeve, "Then what are you looking for when you come to Froststone City this time? Borrowing troops to help you restore your country?"

Maeve was anxious when he heard the words, and shook her head quickly and denied: "Under the attack of Cú Chulainn, Connaught, the city was burned to ruins, and the corpses were piled into hills. This kingdom has been transformed into a purgatory on earth, and there will be no more. The foundation of existence."

   "I am here to ask for your asylum, 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 mortal enemies...Today, the army is dead and the kingdom is destroyed. Now you come to seek refuge. How could it be so simple in the world? Thing?"

   "You are right, I understand all these truths..."

Seemingly anticipating this change, Maeve got up from the ground, regardless of the dust and tattered clothes, looked straight into the eyes of the black dragon and said loudly: "In exchange for the corresponding shelter, 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 the golden pupils.

Seeing this scene, Maeve calmly said, "This is an ancient book passed down from generation to generation by the Connaught royal family. It was written by Luen and it is said to have come from Odin, the great **** of the age of the gods... I believe that, as the son of the gods, you will definitely be interested in this..."

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

   Maeve shook her head vigorously ~lightnovelpub.net~ refused: "I can't give you that book now, I want the promise of the son of the gods! He must guarantee the safety of our mother and child!"

   Evie was furious, she pulled out the dagger around her waist, walked towards Maeve, and shouted sharply: "The woman who doesn't know the situation! Do you think you have room to bargain with the Son of the Gods?"

   Maeve stood on the spot, her face pale, but her expression was firm, she looked directly at the weapon in Evie's hand, and had no intention of backing down.

   At this moment, Todd spoke.

   "I promise to protect you and your children without harming Asgard's sanctuary."

   The deafening voice of the dragon is nothing more than the sound of nature in Maeve’s ears.

   She bent her knees and knelt down towards Todd.

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

   Putting the booklet gently on the ground in front of her, Maeve folded her hands, palms up, the back of her hands touched the ground, and put her forehead on her palms, quietly waiting for the judgment of the son of the gods.

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

   Turning over the first page, a familiar and shocking symbol came into his eyes.

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

   "Jing Su..."

   Todd spit out such a word gently.
