Alien Knights

　　 It was another lively night, and there were obviously more tourists than the first day.

　　 A group of four people in the monastery.

　　 Hudgens followed the mysterious figure on the first day, and first disappeared without a trace.

　　 followed by Edgar, halfway through the play, chose to run to watch a water show called "Sunset Mermaid".

　　 took Little Jerry's monk, he followed the agreement and was invited to the stage of Black Sheep.

When the performance began, Todd was fascinated by the scene of the combination of alien abilities and acrobatic skills. It was really hard for him to imagine this beautiful figure dancing in the sky and the girl with black hair and black eyes in the laboratory this afternoon. It will be the same person.

　　 Just when he didn't say a word and was immersed in the senses, an untimely voice rang in his ear.

　　 "Mr. Todd, do you have time?"

　　 The monk followed the sound, the black shadow, the man who claimed to be the head of the circus last night, stood in the dark corner of the tent, smiling at him.

　　 Thinking for a while, with some reluctance, he finally stood up, and as the man walked out of the tent, little Jerry saw it, and quickly followed him out.

　　 Todd didn't see the girl who paid attention to him from time to time. On the high platform in the sky, she stopped her performance and looked at him away with worry.

　　 The three walked half a circle around the outside of the tent, and came to the preparation room in the backstage.

　　 The head of the circus pushed open the wooden window of the room, and the clear moonlight flowed into the room along the edge of the window. He took a deep breath and made a pleasant sound in his nose.

　　 "I have wine, mead and pomegranate juice here. Mr. Todd, would you like something?"

　　 touched the bridge of his nose with his finger, and the boy shook his head and rejected the offer.

　　 The man shrugged, unconcernedly opened the seal of the leather tube, and took a sip of the liquid inside.

　　 "What's your impression of the downtown circus?"

　　 Todd pondered for a moment, carefully choosing the words to export: "Lively, interesting, and entertaining."

　　 staring at the boy’s face, the circus leader nodded with a little regret: "Although your words are so polite, but your expression tells me that you are someone who has seen a bigger scene."

　　 Todd smiled non-committal.

　　 "So... do you know the "Sutherland Relic"?"

　　 The sudden question made the boy startled for a moment. I just wanted to answer, but I saw the other party stood up and waved to me, turned and walked into the depths of the room.

　　 As the recessed mechanism on the wall was pressed down, the dark room hidden behind the wall gradually revealed. A simple wooden table and four simple chairs appeared in front of everyone. A "crown of thorns" pattern hung on the wall, and a line of small letters was written in Latin underneath.

　　 "Relief Society".

　　 The circus leader sat down on the chair opposite the door and motioned Todd to sit opposite him, while Jerry was too big to sit on the ground with his knees hugged.

　　 The man straightened his neckline: "You can call me the throat bone, I am a member of the relief society."

　　 Seeing the confusion on the face of the opposite person, his throat asked in surprise: "Did no one mention the name of the relief club when you joined?"

　　 After a while, he sighed and said, "Only ignorant and narrow-minded people can imagine that alien species can still be accepted by the world."

　　 Todd asked tentatively: "What will be the relief in your mouth?"

　　 "Speaking of the relief society, we must first talk about the origin of these alien species." The man took out a stack of cardboard cards from his arms and laid them on the table.

Todd took a closer look. Each card was drawn with a different pattern, and the corners were marked with different words in Latin, "Emperor", "Magic", "Sun", "Reaper", etc., a total of 22 cards. .

　　 He secretly said in his heart, this seems to be a common tarot card in previous lives, and it is generally used for divination and fortune.

"This is a card made by the palace alchemists of the ancient Tairo Empire to divide and classify the talents and abilities of different species." After shuffling the Tarot cards together, the Throat Bone drew out the "Moon" at the top. , Put it on the table: "More than a thousand years ago, alien species had a pivotal position in the Tyrolean Empire. But with the passage of time, the scarcity and change of bloodlines caused the number of this ethnic group to decrease. Tyrol was the highest. In the parliament, those who hold hatred and fear towards alien species gradually gain the upper hand..."

Turning over the second card, the "Tower" pattern appeared in front of Todd, and the throat bone continued: "A revolution was initiated by religious forces and then swept across the entire empire. The original freedom of belief was abolished. "Heavenly Father Monotheism" became the state religion. Different races were arrested and killed, and any books and documents that recorded them were burned."

　　 The third card "Wheel of Fortune" was placed at the far right.

"In such an era of chaos and violence, an alchemist named "Sutherland" stepped forward and led the survivors of the tribe to migrate to the east of the mainland. In the following wars, the sage Sutherland To cover the only remaining bloodline, I chose to face the army, one person was broken, and after exhausting his life, the body was burned by the enemy for seven days and nights. The whole body was not left, and the embers were scattered."

He collected the cards again and placed them in the palms. The throat bones untied the skin tube around the waist and took another sip: "After that, the alien species became the target of being hunted like a mouse, hiding it all day long. Tibet is in panic all day long. So, in order to survive and for revenge, relief will be produced."

　　 glanced at the cross on the monk's chest, the man lowered his voice: "Why don't you think about it and join us?"

　　 Todd frowned.

The throat bone stood up from the chair, stretched his head forward, his face dimmed: "Hasn't Mr. Todd ever thought about it? You have "Sutherland's legacy" in your body. Once discovered by the church, or... The accused, the only waiting for you are the trial stand and the torture rack..."

Before the voice of 　　 fell, a stone fell on the tabletop.

　　 The next moment, Black Sheep stood in the middle of the two, with his face facing his throat bone and his back to Todd, his voice sounded more serious than ever.

　　 "Mr. Todd, please go back today."

　　 The monk stood up, felt the tension in the air between the two, hesitated and said, "But you...?"

　　 The girl’s voice became louder again: "I have something important to tell the leader! Please leave here!"

　　 Todd glanced at the pale throat bone~www.readwn.com~ Realizing that the black sheep really wanted to leave here, he took Jerry out of the dark room.

　　 Throat bone sat back in the chair, took out the silver file from his arms, shook his head helplessly while rubbing his nails, and said, "You still have the same idea?"

　　 The black sheep sat opposite him: "I said, today is my last performance."

The resolute attitude of the other party made the man feel a deep sense of frustration: "Marcus Byrne, who grew up with you, hopes you will give up traveling and stay in the monastery. After so many years of begging, you did not agree. Mr. Todd After only getting along with you for less than a day, did you offer to stay?"

With her hand in her pocket, she secretly squeezed the translucent glass crystal, and the girl nodded and said: "Beside him, I can see a whole new world, a world different from everyone else. So, I beg you, don't bother him..."

Throat bone took the Tarot card on the table in his hand, randomly drew out one, and laughed at the pattern on it: "Don't bother him? When he understood the true meaning behind "Sutherland Legacy", It's his turn to disturb the world..."

On the card that 　　 turned over, a man tied his hands behind his back and was hung upside down from a T-shaped tree trunk.

　　 At noon the next day, when Todd, full of thoughts, came to the door of the underground laboratory, a familiar figure had been waiting there for a long time.

The black sheep, dressed in women’s lightweight clothing, sat on a large suitcase and smiled and said to him: "Mr. Todd, I was kicked out of the house. Can you please take me in? Oh, yes. Yes! Please stop calling me "Miss Black Sheep" in the future, my name is Karin Foreman."
