On the hills south of Muxi Town, there is a Holy Cross-style tombstone, facing the busy town and the quiet sea.
Alfonso, who re-hidden his body in the armor, knelt on one knee on the ground, placed a bouquet of white phoenix feathers in front of the tomb, and looked at the Latin words engraved on the stone tablet in silence.
Adelina Sally Wilmot is an upright, humble, and brave lady. She faces all the injustices of fate and never flinches. At the cost of her life, she awakens a knight from hatred and prejudice.
.
At the top of the hill dozens of meters away from the tomb, at the door of the residence of Alfonso and his followers, Leslie was helping Walton pack his luggage.
The boy with the red lines on his forehead glanced at the short, fat man with a numb face next to him, thought for a long time, and finally said: "Adelina's matter, actually, the boss cannot be blamed..."
Walton didn't look back: "I know."
"It was the three of us who insisted on following him."
"I know."
"And you should know that Adelina's opponent..."
Walton put the bag in his hand heavily on the ground, turned to Leslie, and widened his eyes: "I know!"
Leslie sighed: "Then why do you want to leave?"
Walton closed his eyes and clenched his fingers into fists: "I'm just tired of this life of fighting and killing..."
Seeing the short and fat man carrying his luggage and walking out of the room, Leslie looked at his back and asked loudly: "Then what are your plans for the future?"
"I want to open a wine shop and brew a kind of wine that as long as you drink it, you will forget all your sorrows!"
At the same time, in the tavern tomorrow, two old men in casual clothes were sitting at the innermost table, drinking ale and eating snacks, contentedly.
"The other nobles have all left one after another. You are the last one."
Cumberland grabbed a piece of dried meat, threw it into his mouth and started chewing it. The sound of chewing was so loud that even the guests at the next table could clearly hear it.
Earl Emerson frowned and looked at the other party, shook his mustache, and said in a nonchalant tone: "It's not easy to come out of the capital once, but if you don't take a few days off, wouldn't it be a waste?"
Cumberland swallowed the food in his mouth, took another sip of ale, leaned forward slightly, and said to Emerson: "The kingdom is about to end, you might as well not go back."
Earl Emerson was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "You really can never learn to be subtle."
The old knight glanced at him: "We are both over a hundred years old together. Are we spending our time being reserved and leaving the business in the coffin?!"
Emerson did not choose to continue this topic and said with a smile: "Let me ask you something, the general leader of the Muxi Knights, what do you think of him?"
When Cumberland heard this question, he put down the ale in his hand, his expression became serious for the first time, and he thought for a while before saying, "I don't understand."
Emerson was a little surprised: "Can't you understand?"
The old knight nodded: "As for the general leader, I have found someone to learn about all his deeds in detail. He is knowledgeable, good at speaking, proficient in alchemy, etc. These may also be explained by talent. Then there are many things to follow.
I just don't understand what's going on. He can form a team
With a nearly invincible army, he can rely on his own efforts to develop Muxi Town from scratch. He can accept any ethnic group or individual who is rejected by the world. But his mind is so pure and has no dirty desires.
All this is somewhat similar to the one in the Bible..."
Emerson heard this and whispered to himself: "Holy Son..."
The old knight continued: "Some time ago, some nobles protested to the head of the regiment about the food standards. The reply they received was only one sentence - Muxi Town is a land under the rule of Heavenly Father. Here there is only faith and no class.
Now that I think about it carefully, he did indeed do this. Serfs, craftsmen, aliens, heretical academics, etc., no matter who they are, no matter what their status is, as long as they have a pious heart towards the Heavenly Father, he is willing to
Open your heart to accept it. Doesn't this further illustrate his special identity..."
"The Holy Son is back!"
Outside the tavern, someone shouted loudly.
Todd, Rachel and Huggins, with the railgun girl Cosette found in the cave, rode through the streets of the town and rushed back to the headquarters of the Knights.
Before the dusty leader could take a sip of water, Brother Qiao, who had two dark circles under his eyes, blocked him at the gate.
"Sir, I'm currently making up my will." The monk stared at Todd with an unkind expression.
Todd was stunned for a moment and asked quickly: "Will? Are you sick?"
"I'm going to die from overwork!" The monk pointed to the two panda eyes on the left and right and said loudly: "Thirty-six hours! A full thirty-six hours! I have been working continuously for a full thirty-six hours without sleeping a wink!!!
"
Todd gestured for Rachel and Huggins to go first with Cosette, who was wrapped in black cloth. He looked at the monk and asked, "Is there so much work?"
Hearing Todd actually ask such a question, Joe seemed to be greatly stimulated. He took a deep breath, clapped the paperwork in his hand, and quickly explained his work one by one: "Let's talk about Twilight first.
Regarding the planning and construction of West Town! Such a large area of the commercial area has been burned. Will it be rebuilt?! With so many new immigrants joining Muxi Town, will the planning scope need to be expanded?! There are also industrial areas and animal husbandry areas.
, agricultural areas, public construction projects, etc.!”
Todd felt dizzy and his eyes were blank.
Looking at the other party's expression, Qiao sneered and continued: "Do you think this is over? Let me talk about the Holy Order Arbitration Tribunal again! It has been almost five months since this organization was established, but as the president of the tribunal, you have once
None of them have appeared! Do you know? I spent a whole day yesterday to deal with the one hundred and seventy-nine cases that accumulated..."
Todd was surprised: "So many?! One month?"
Qiao gritted his teeth bitterly: "Three days... speaking of it, these jobs are not the most troublesome for me. The most painful thing is the church work!"
After the monk mentioned this, Todd suddenly remembered that since receiving the edict of the Holy Ministry of the establishment of the Knights, the deacons who originally belonged to Shengke Cathedral have returned to Silver Ring City. Now the work of the church is indeed that of the monks.
Qiao is working part-time.
"I can still let my brothers do things like praise, mass, confession, and baptism, but I can only do it myself when it comes to managing the funds of the holy treasury and mutual aid societies." Brother Qiao Yue said, becoming more and more excited: "I
I have to remember thousands of things about spending money and making money, and I have to know every number by heart. If I make a mistake at the end of the calculation, I still need to recall which part I didn't think of!"
Todd patted Joe on the shoulder and told him to calm down: "I understand, I understand. I will start to think of ways to reduce your workload..."
The monk, who was obviously dissatisfied with the chief's comfort, grabbed the former's robe, led him to the conference hall, and said: "I have already thought of a way for you!"
After walking into the conference hall, Todd saw a group of people waiting for him there early. The leader had a delicate appearance, fair complexion, and a somewhat weak figure.
"Let me introduce, Dion de Beaumont, Chevalier Dion!" With an expression like a vendor selling goods, Friar Joe said excitedly: "Chevalier Dion is the third child of the Beaumont family, a family of judges.
Studied at the Royal Academy and is proficient in more than ten languages
He has also entered the Tyro Government Affairs Office. The students around him are also the most proud disciples of the Royal Academy. They are much better at law than me, a dabbler! It is really difficult for them to manage the Holy Order Arbitration Tribunal.
It couldn’t be more appropriate!”
Todd glanced at Joe funny, then moved his eyes to the faces of the others: "Are you willing to take on this work?"
Dion performed a knight's salute. His long, light-blond ponytail hair undulated slightly along his petite figure: "General Commander, we are willing to contribute our strength to the Knights."
After chatting with Dion and the students for a while, Todd left the conference hall. Seeing Joe still following him, he asked strangely: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
The monk nodded: "Concerning the fund management of Muxi Town, there is a candidate to succeed me..."
Five minutes later, Todd saw someone beyond his expectation in the regimental commander's room.
Queen Mary.
She was wearing an ordinary women's simple dress, but her aloof temperament and inviolable aura made Todd look a little sideways.
"I heard that you want to manage the Holy Treasury and Mutual Aid Society in Muxi Town?" Todd looked at the woman sitting at the table and said with some confusion: "Those are extremely important and extremely complicated tasks. You need to remember
There are many numbers and details, and if you are not careful, you will make errors in the accounts. Can you do it?"
Mary did not answer the question, but stood up and walked to the door of the room.
Todd was a little surprised when he saw her behavior.
Are you giving up now?
The woman did not leave, but closed the door from the inside.
Todd was a bit clever: "Hey, why are you closing the door..."
Mary turned around, pointed to the bookcase in the room, and said: "General Commander, please open any book and tell me the title, page number and line number."
Todd was a little confused, but he still did it.
What surprised him was that the woman recited the exact words in the book.
Todd quickly changed to the second and third books, and conducted experiments again and again. The results were still the same. The woman could always recite the original words in the book.
Mary put her hand on her forehead. The expression on her face could not tell whether she was recalling or thinking. She said word by word to Todd: "Master General, I have a secret that I plan to take to my grave.
I am a mutant with the ability of super memory. Everything I have seen, heard, and felt will exist in my memory forever."...
