Alien Knights

Chapter 677: Memories of the dead

Alfonso rubbed his sore neck and asked Rachel, "Are you sure this is a good idea?"

Rachel stared at Marcus who was standing next to Karin, and said, "Todd agreed."

Alfonso paused, then sighed: "Since your Majesty has decided..."

Rachel lowered his voice and said: "I have already sent out a request for help from the Valkyrie.

Alfonso remembered the scene of the battle just now, and couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Let such an undead enter the Twilight City, where there is a dense population, I am worried that something will happen."

Rachel said: "Marcus will not enter Twilight, we will place him elsewhere... Oh, yes, your mission is over. Your Majesty wants you to go back first."

Alfonso glanced at Marcus: "The mission is over? The grudge between me and him, I'm afraid it won't end."

Rachel said: "Don't think about what to solve now, in Todd's words, Marcus is very useful to us now."

Alfonso turned to look at Rachel and asked, "Your words make me suspicious. Are you suggesting that once Marcus loses use, he will be dealt with?"

Richel nodded slightly.

Alfonso frowned and asked hesitantly: "This is also your Majesty's decision?"

Rachel shook his head: "No, this is my decision."

Alfonso turned his head, his words contained a little dissatisfaction: "It is not wise to use others and then abandon it. You may get short-term benefits, but it will completely chill many people."

Rachel smiled and said: "Then you mean that you want Marcus, the undead, to stay in the Dragon Kingdom forever, even if it may cause the necrotic plague, you plan to ignore it?"

Alfonso didn't know how to answer this question for a while.

After struggling for a while, Alfonso whispered his decision: "If one day Marcus really has to die, at least arrange a fair duel for me and him. If I win, then everything Nature is the best..."

Rachel asked, "What if you lose?"

Alfonso: "After I close my eyes, you can do everything you want."

Early the next morning, Rachel took Karin on the journey home.

Marcus was individually arranged into a special carriage, a "guard" composed of dozens of knights and Valkyrie, responsible for the key "care" of this guest.

Starting from Guyan City, all the way to the north.

Rachel sitting in the carriage, holding the quiet Karin, said softly: "Remember, you can't take this risk next time."

Karin whispered, "I just think I should do that."

"It's one thing to do it, and it's another thing to pay the price." Rachel touched Karin's hair lightly: "Sometimes, you work hard, you carry the burden, but in the end you find that everything is back. origin."

Karin looked up puzzled.

Rachel smiled and said, "Don't think too much."

Karin lowered her head thoughtfully and swallowed the words that came to her lips.

Rachel raised the curtains of the carriage, looked at the scenery outside, and said, "Before we return to West End, we are going to take Marcus to a place."

Karin suddenly grabbed Rachel's hand: "If possible, please don't hurt him."

Rachel looked at Karin's dim eyes and asked: "Marcus's body is stitched together from corpses. He only retains the most primitive nature and intelligence. His behavior is more like a dead spirit than Human. In your opinion, is he still the same person?"

Karin lowered his head and said: "I know he is no longer the original Marcus, but he still remembers me and many things before. If I really want to judge, he should be half human and half dead. ."

Rachel said: "So, the reason you think he continues to exist is precisely because of the semi-human in his body?"

Karin continued to nod gently.

Rachel smiled.

She patted Karin on the head: "You and Todd are the same, you both value the humanity of Marcus more, but downplay him as a deadly threat."

Karin asked: "Todd also thinks that Marcus should be left?"

"Todd supports keeping Marcus conditionally, provided that an experiment is done to see if the latter really possesses humanity."

Rachel's words puzzled Karin again: "Experiment?"

Rachel looked out of the window: "Soon, you will know."

Three days later, the group finally arrived at the destination-San Sidlo Monastery.

Listening to the monks chanting the scriptures and the ringing of the bell from the bell tower in the distance, Karin asked Rachel in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Rachel motioned to the Cavaliers to open Marcus's car door.

Marcus, who had been imprisoned in the carriage for a long time, was already on the verge of anger. He ran into the unlocked door and dashed out of the carriage, but was attracted by the towering cross of the San Sidlo Abbey and stopped.

Rachel waved his hand, motioning all the knights and the Valkyrie to stay vigilant and move back.

Marcus stroked the pattern on the gate of San Sidlo Abbey, and the ghost walked in.

Along the way, the monks who saw Marcus were frightened and screamed and fled.

But Marcus didn't care about these noisy humans and walked straight to the depths of the monastery.

Rachel supported Karin, and under the guard of the knight and the Valkyrie, followed Marcus all the way to a room built in the innermost part of the monastery.

Marcus carefully pushed open the dusty door, pushed aside the spider webs hanging around in the room, walked to a wall, and gently stroked the engraving on the corner.

Karin asked, unable to see, "Where are we?"

Rachel said: "Marcus entered Myris' room~lightnovelpub.net~ Since Myris disappeared, Todd has ordered this room to be kept and no one can enter."

Karin nodded and asked, "What is Marcus doing now?"

Richel took a closer look and said, "On the corner of the room, there are some marks cut with a knife. Marcus is carefully examining those marks."

Karin was silent for a moment, and then said: "I know what it is, those are all carved by Miles, recording Marcus's height record from childhood."

Rachel said to himself: "Are the memories of father and son?"

Marcus turned around and came to the bed. He pulled a box out of the bed and opened it. There was a silver dagger in it.

When Karin learned of all this, she couldn't help covering her mouth and whispering: "That was the gift I gave him at Marcus's coming-of-age ceremony. I always thought he had lost my gift."
