Unlike three years ago, Twilight City today has less artistic flavor and more religious elements.

On the square, the dragon statue symbolizing the sanctuary **** replaced the original large fountain. Reliefs engraved with legends of gods replaced the original marble wall.

Listening carefully, you can still hear the laughter from the crowd, but the singing of hymns and praises floating in the sky brings the whole city a solemnity and solemnity that has never been seen before.

The guards separated the crowded crowds from both sides, leaving a passage for the holy king and his daughter.

Hugging Todd's arm tightly, Aurora suddenly pointed forward and asked the former: "Why are there so few people there?"

Todd looked in the direction of her fingers.

At the other end of the square, the guards in charge of public security used wooden roadblocks to isolate an area. Compared with the crowds here, there are really no people in that area.

Looking over with eagle eyes, Todd quickly found something wrong.

The square was deliberately divided into two areas, one area was full of humans, and the other was alien creatures from the Crusades.

If there are foreign tourists who are not clear about the restrictions inside, when they plan to enter another area, the soldiers in charge of guarding will stand up and ask them to leave euphemistically.

Seeing this situation, Todd frowned and motioned for the guards beside him to come closer.

When a group of people came to the junction of the area, they happened to meet a group of urban residents in Muxi, who gathered together to look at the Holy Religious Army at the end of the square.

Among them, a man who appeared to be dressed as a businessman whispered to his companion, "Have you heard about Beate?"

Another person nodded and said, "I heard that he committed suicide in prison for fear of sin."

"What I know is that the big-mouthed bard did not commit suicide at all, but was executed in secret."

"real?!"

"It's true. His body was burned into a piece of coke. How can anyone commit suicide in the world like that?"

"He deserves it too. Someone has already told him. Compared with the foreign races of the Holy Clan, humans can only be regarded as inferior creatures. To provoke those elves is to die!"

Hearing this, Todd frowned and looked at the guard beside him.

Most of these guards are humans, but almost no one shows a disgusting or confused expression at these remarks. It seems that what these people say is a truth that has long been recognized by everyone.

Todd shook his head, grabbed Aurora's little hand, and led everyone out of the square.

Walking into the central commercial street next to Sanlong Plaza, Todd took Aurora, looking for a suitable restaurant for lunch.

What surprised him was that the restaurants on the commercial street treated the Crusades and human customers in different ways.

Some restaurants only accept aliens from the Holy Clan Army, and some restaurants divide the space of the store into different areas, consciously separating alien creatures and humans.

After a lot of selection, Todd found a restaurant that had regional dining.

Under the **** of the guards, the father and daughter picked an inner table in the human seating area and sat down to see the situation in the store.

The floor is covered with leather blankets and swords and shields are hung on the walls. This is a restaurant with an obvious northern decoration style. The owner of the shop may have been Ulster or Connaught in the past.

The genocide caused by Cuchurin forced many people to leave their homes and come to the south to make a living. This shopkeeper seems to be one of them.

Except for a small part of the staff and kitchen area, the first floor of the restaurant is mostly human dining area, while the second floor only allows members of the Holy Cleric Army to pass.

Regarding such a division of the area, coupled with the previous experience of the square, Todd thought about it carefully, a little bit emotional, but also a little helpless.

Three years ago, under his leadership, the Crusades entered the city and quelled the rebellion.

On that **** night, and on the day of execution afterwards, tens of thousands of human beings were killed at the hands of the Holy Clerical Army.

The storm subsided, and it took three days just to clean up the corpses in the city and clean up the endgame.

After that, there was an unhealable gap between humans and the Crusades.

From the perspective of human beings, the Crusaders are servants of the gods, strong men of will and strength, and it is not surprising that such emotions as fear and admiration appear.

And here, after witnessing the chaotic behavior of human beings, on the one hand, the Crusaders despise the actions of this ethnic group, but on the other hand, they are afraid that they will have a little relationship with them after undergoing the transformation ceremony.

At this moment, a male human and a female elf walked into the door of the restaurant. The special pair of partners drew people's exclamation.

For Twilight, where the Jacqueline and Beate incident just happened, humans and elves walking together is an unusually eye-catching scene in itself.

The female elf wearing a red dress robe with long hair curled up, facing the gaze of everyone on the first floor, whispered to the people around him: "Randall, I don't know if this is a good idea?"

Randall shrugged: "Barbara, you said you wanted to come here for mochica cream soup..."

"I know, but those two guys used to follow, now it's just you and me, everything looks a little weird."

The waitress in the restaurant walked up to the two of them and asked hesitantly, "Are you two going to have a meal?"

Randall said, "Is there a quieter place?"

The waitress plucked up the courage to ask, "Are you sitting separately?"

Barbara shook her head and said, "I'm sitting with him."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a louder voice from the crowd.

"Is that man crazy?!"

"Does he want to be the second Beate?"

"Brother! Good job! I support you!"

The noise on the first floor of the restaurant attracted the attention of the second floor.

A tauren shaman led a tauren warrior and walked down the stairs.

When he saw Randall and Barbara standing together, the tauren warrior opened his eyes and asked loudly, "What's the matter?"

Randall pulled Barbara behind him and said with a smile, "Brother, calm down."

The tauren stared with scarlet eyes: "Brother?! You a human being who knows nothing! Who do you think you are talking to?!"

The tauren shaman grabbed the warrior beside him, pointed to Randall's chest and said slowly: "He is indeed a member of the Holy Order."

Everyone looked intently, and a round black dragon badge hung on Randall's chest.

"He is the only human in the Crusade Army..." The tauren shaman said with a smile: "Our **** personally accepted him."

The tauren warrior froze in place, and said for a long time: "But, why? Why would the Supreme Dragon God accept a human?"

The shaman turned around and walked to the second floor, leaving a soft sentence: "Who can guess what God meant?"

Watching the tauren return to the second floor, the whole restaurant was silent.

Randall smiled bitterly and asked Barbara, "Do you still want to stay for dinner?"

The latter looked at the strange eyes cast around him, and yelled anxiously: "Forget it! Go back!"

Aurora, who witnessed the whole incident from beginning to end~lightnovelpub.net~, while eating the cake on the plate with a fork, asked Todd, "Father, what are they doing? Why can't everyone sit together? Where to eat?"

Todd lowered the brim of Aurora's hat a bit, covering her dragon horns: "Because everyone has fear in their hearts, fear of the future they don't understand, fear of the past that they can't go away..."

Aurora said bitterly, "Father, I don't understand."

"You are still young, you don't need to understand these." Todd patted Aurora on the top of the head: "When you finish eating these, let's go and see elsewhere."

Aurora nodded happily, returning her attention to the food in front of her.

The setting sun slowly fell, and the father and daughter, who had been around the city for a day, returned to the palace in a carriage.

Aurora, who was holding a lot of snacks and toys in her arms, was full of happiness and joy.

Todd looked at Aurora and said, "Happy?"

"Hmm! Happy!"

Todd stared at the dragon horn on Aurora's head, and suddenly asked, "Tell dad, do you usually feel uncomfortable or sick?"

"Uncomfortable? Sick?"

There was a trace of worry in Todd's expression: "I just found out what's wrong with the body?"

Aurora touched her nose with her little hand and nodded vigorously: "I can be like a father!"

"Become me?" Todd watched Aurora make a suffocating motion, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart: "Could you be...?"

Suddenly, Aurora's body began to grow rapidly, and her body began to grow crimson scales, a pair of huge dragon wings spread out from behind, directly breaking the roof of the carriage.

Seeing the five-meter-long red dragon jump out of the broken carriage, flapping its wings awkwardly in the air, Todd covered his forehead with his hand and sighed heavily.
