The door of the audience room was closed again, and only Todd was left in the huge room.

Leaning back to the back of the chair, Todd slowly closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

In the soul space, he tried to contact the little Jerry who was on the reconnaissance mission again, but what he got was still a blank. Todd slowly opened his eyes and said in a low voice, "If I can be more alert, if I can think again. If I can do better, maybe..."

Before Todd’s words fell, the guard’s announcement came from the door: "Your Majesty, Mr. Randall and Miss Barbara of the Crusade Army asked for an audience. They said they have an appointment with you."

"Let them in."

"Yes."

Randall and Barbara who walked into the room looked at Todd sitting in the chair and saluted deeply.

Before they could speak, Todd looked at them, smiled and said: "I heard that recently, you have suffered a lot of blinding in the Crusades?"

Barbara nodded, and said depressedly: "Your Majesty, I don't understand. Haven't you agreed to the marriage between me and Randall, why have you been so late in making an announcement?"

Todd took out a thick stack of paper from the drawer of the desk and placed it in front of Randall and Barbara.

Randall and Barbara flipped through several copies at will, most of them were shaman groups or high-level commanders of the Holy Cadet Army, requesting the Dragon God to order documents to terminate the union of humans and elves.

"The blood of the Crusades is pure and noble. Human beings who have not experienced the purification ritual will completely tarnish all this."

"If a human and an elves are allowed to be together, then there will be a wave in the city, and every human will target our species."

"Humans should not exist in the order of the Crusades, and there should be differences between races."

Reading the protest letters from members of the Crusades from different races and classes, Randall shrugged helplessly compared to Barbara's anger: "In the end, everyone has targeted my human identity."

Todd looked at Randall and asked: "You asked to participate in the transformation ceremony. I rejected your proposal. I hope you can marry Barbara as a human being. Do you know why?"

Randall pondered for a while, and finally shook his head.

Barbara guessed: "Does your Majesty want to use our marriage to send a signal to inform all people, whether humans or other races, that they should exist as equals, so as to stabilize the race between the kingdoms? relation?"

Todd nodded slightly: "There is a reason for this."

"As we all know, within the Dragon Kingdom, the relationship between humans and the Crusades race is not harmonious. The Crusades regard humans as old species and think they are superior. This is not the result I want to see."

Todd said slowly: "Whether it is humans or the Crusades, they are all citizens of the kingdom. Although they have different appearances and different abilities, judging the pros and cons of a creature should not be based on whether his strength is strong or not, but It should depend on whether his soul is noble. Therefore, the marriage of the two of you is tantamount to informing everyone of the idea of ​​racial equality."

Todd paused for a moment, looked at the two of them and said solemnly: "There is one more thing, I must tell you. The combination of the Holy Cadet Army and humans may bring incurable harm to your offspring, and it may be infertility. Infertility may also be born disabled. The reason why I have not announced your marriage is partly because of this."

Barbara asked in surprise: "Is this your curse on us?"

"This is a curse, but it is not the result I want to see." Todd said with a heavy expression: "Not only humans and the Crusades, but any combination of two humanoid races may give birth to offspring with congenital disabilities. I will tell you about this today, just to hope you will be mentally prepared."

Randall took Barbara's hand, looked at the latter gently, and said firmly: "No matter what happens, I'm ready."

Barbara nodded vigorously: "Me too."

Seeing this scene, Todd said with emotion: "Randall, I have a task for you."

"Your Majesty, please give your instructions."

Todd took out another document from the drawer, put it on the table, and said, "This warrant has my autograph and the king's seal, which gives you the right to use all the resources of the kingdom."

"Use all resources?"

"Yes, funds, manpower, weapons, diplomacy, religion... even the resources of alien associations and security bureaus."

Randall asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?"

"I want you to sneak into the city of Tyrol, the capital of the Papal State, and rescue the scholars trapped in the city."

"scholar?"

Todd explained: "Terrence and Aberle gave me a list of the most famous scholars in Tyrol City. They have a long-term correspondence with the University of Texas, and these people are on the academic foundation of the scholars of the University of Texas. In the past, many new devices have been developed and many great theories have been put forward."

Todd recalled, “Among these people, there is Miriam Orso, the vice president of Tyrol Royal University. He is also a mentor to Terrence and Aberle. He is the foundation of heterogeneous concentrating microscopes. On the above, the design concept of the Tesla coil double-wave interference electron microscope was proposed; there is also the chief professor of natural science, McFadden Alstead, who proposed the electric swimming pool based on the bacterial cluster cultivation technology Microbial activation efficiency experiment..."

Todd said with emotion: "I never imagined that there would be scholars in the central areas where the persecution of the church was the worst, and they would be able to make such amazing achievements in scientific research."

Barbara asked strangely: "These scholars are engaged in truth research and experiments in Taylor City. Didn't the church army arrest them?"

Todd said: "According to Cardinal Abel's narrative, when the church radicals began to hunt down heretics, the Taylor family urgently hid a large number of royal scholars in the palace, avoiding the church again and again. search."

"However, just a while ago, the church received a secret report and learned of the whereabouts of these scholars. After the assembly of the army, the church captured the Taylor Palace by storm and arrested and imprisoned the group of scholars in hiding. "

Randall asked: "Your Majesty, where are these scholars now?"

"The First Inquisition, an underground prison."

Hearing Todd’s answer, Barbara said embarrassedly: “It’s the place where the church is most closely guarded, and there is no way to start~lightnovelpub.net~ Todd replied: “Cardinal Aberle is the rescuer. The linker of the action, he and some other people in the church, will cooperate with you to sneak into the prison and open the prison door. "

"As you perform your mission, Cumberland will lead the army to put pressure on the church army from the front, forcing them to distract, and creating opportunities for you to escape."

"And Karin Forman of the Alien Species Association will be responsible for arranging the escape route. After you enter the city, she will contact you and inform the details of the plan."

Todd looked at the two people in front of him and asked softly, "Are there any questions?"

Barbara first glanced at Randall, and then asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, will this action be over and you will announce our marriage?"

Todd looked at Barbara with a smile.

Barbara thought for a while, and said with a sense of enlightenment: "Your Majesty, as long as this operation can be a complete success, our deeds will be enough to suppress those opposition voices in the Crusades."
