Todd rubbed the center of his brow vigorously. The development of the situation made him feel more and more headache.
Originally there were already three factions fighting each other in the Holy Acropolis, plus the Muxi Kingdom and the Church, and then the Presbyterian Church, and now the whole situation has been stirred up like a pot of chowder.
"I plan to go to the Holy Acropolis."
Rachel was stunned by Todd's words.
The latter looked at his serious look, lowered his eyelids and asked, "Is it because of someone?"
When Todd heard this, he didn't realize the deep meaning of the other person's words. He just asked strangely: "Because of someone?"
Rachel raised her head, as if nothing had happened: "The Holy Acropolis is not a good place now. There is a mixture of fish and dragons, and the situation is critical... Besides, you have just finished commanding a battle, don't you want to take a break?
?”
As if he had already accepted his fate of running around and working hard, Todd shrugged: "The word rest seems to be irrelevant to me. The irony is that a long time ago, what I wanted most was to lie in bed and live comfortably.
This life."
Rachel gently poked the other person's forehead with her finger: "Those old guys in Muxi City thought that you were willing to give up power for the sake of the future of the kingdom. But I know full well that the reason why you did that was basically
Because - lazy."
Todd smiled bitterly and chose silence.
"Selecting officials, revising laws, forming cabinets... all these things you do are to spread the burden of the king to others." Rachel lowered her head, and a faint body fragrance filled the noses of the two of them: "I used to
I just wonder, how could there be such a temperamental king in the world, who would give the power that everyone coveted to others in order to save trouble and peace."
Rachel's words made Todd laugh.
He looked at the woman so close to him, recalled every moment of their relationship, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the feeling she made him was really wonderful.
Speaking of body, Rachel does not have the Internet celebrity face or skinny body like the woman in her previous life. Her appearance and figure are more in line with Western classical aesthetics. She has a graceful figure, jade-white skin, and delicate and soft facial features.
.
But as the saying goes, good-looking skins are all alike, but interesting souls are only one in a million.
What attracts Todd most about this woman is her intelligence and mystery.
Seeing Todd staring at her intently, Rachel leaned down and lay on top of him. The two nephrite balls on her chest changed shapes. She only heard her chuckle and say: "Am I wrong? Just to be lazy.
Your Majesty the King who would rather give up power?"
Todd came back to his senses and kissed the other person's lips gently: "Even if what you said makes sense, I'm still very busy every day..."
Rachel pinched his nose in a funny way: "Who can blame this? You don't have to blame yourself. You obviously want to let go of everything wholeheartedly, but the emotion called responsibility always controls your behavior. This
Let you choose a difficult and dangerous path again and again in order to save others and fulfill your promise."
Todd's eyes lost focus, looked into the distance, and murmured: "Responsibility...?"
"I really don't understand, in another world, are everyone like you, or are you just a unique existence?" Rachel slowly opened Todd's collar and kissed him carefully.
Neck: "Perhaps it is this contradiction in you that is the biggest reason that attracts me."
Todd wrapped his arms around him, turned his body, and pressed Rachel under him. Just when he was about to make another move, a sweet sound made him look back.
Deirdre, who had just come down from the second floor after packing her armor, happened to see this fragrant scene on the lounge chair. She was so frightened that she quickly covered her eyes with her hands and screamed shyly.
Rachel, who was lying unable to move under Todd, first gave him a sharp look, then stretched out her pink and white arms, waved to Deirdre, and said angrily: "What are you shouting for?
Don’t you want to come?”
Looking at the day outside the window, Deirdre hesitated again and again, but finally moved towards the lounge chair step by step.
The privacy of the bed, the clouds and rain take a break.
Todd glanced at the sleepy Deirdre, took the mead from Rachel, sat on the fur carpet and took a sip, then said: "I plan to finish the things in the camp and rush there.
Go to the Holy Acropolis."
Rachel, who was only wearing a light gauze, pinched the soft flesh of Todd's waist with her fingers with a dissatisfied look on her face: "After venting your anger, you didn't even say a heartwarming word!"
Seeing the apology on Todd's face, Rachel sat in his arms and said magnanimously: "Forget it, you said you were going to the Holy Acropolis, but you don't know what the situation is there."
"During this battle in Gug City, I captured a church deacon named Chailifield. I learned the slave trader's joint code and organizational location from him. Using the power of shaping, I was able to borrow his
identity, and infiltrated the high-level officials of the Holy Acropolis and the church."
Rachel leaned her back against Todd's chest and sipped the wine in the cup: "This is indeed a way. If there are only those guys from the Holy Acropolis and the church, maybe you can really get through. But the elder
The intervention of the organization has made the situation in the Holy Guard City even more dangerous. You don’t need to remind me, but you should also know that there are all kinds of alien species in that organization, and you have no idea what their powers are."
Todd nodded: "So, I need help for this trip to the Holy Acropolis. I met people from the Alien Association in Gugu City, and they helped me a lot. Maybe there are such people in the Holy Acropolis?"
"Don't think about things too simply." Rachel turned back and rolled her eyes at Todd: "Among the northern countries, the management of the Presbyterian Church is the weakest, so I can blatantly recruit helpers there; but in the diocese
The Kingdom and the Presbyterian Church have strict management, and it is very difficult to develop alien resisters in these places."
Todd sighed softly.
Rachel glanced at him: "Although we can't find enough help, there may be a way to find some contacts to understand the situation... But there is a prerequisite."
"Premise? What?"
"I must go with you to the Acropolis."
Todd frowned: "You're going with me? But the camp still needs someone to manage it..."
Rachel seemed to have planned everything: "The fleet from Muxi City will come back soon, and in addition to the refugees from Holy Acropolis, they will also bring a large number of administrative staff. They can take over all management affairs of the camp... Besides,
, don’t you still have a soul link? Just hold regular meetings.”
After thinking about Rachel's analysis carefully, Todd felt that it made sense, but he was still a little worried about the other party's safety: "The current situation in the Holy Acropolis is unclear. If you go there, if you encounter danger...?"
"Are you worried about my ability to protect myself?" Rachel laughed: "How did I survive in the years before I met you? Do you think I relied solely on luck?"
Todd was at a loss for words, and finally simply raised his hands and agreed to accompany Rachel.
"With the victory of this battle, the population of Froststone Camp may exceed 10,000. Coupled with the refugees from Holy Acropolis who will move in soon, the total population here will reach 15,000." Todd said.
Opening his arms, he hugged Rachel and said, "So many people have huge differences in customs, residences, division of labor, and beliefs. How to manage them will be a big problem."
Snuggled into Todd's arms, Rachel felt as if her body and soul had entered a safe harbor. She relaxed her whole body and murmured in a low voice: "Well, so what?"
"Before we leave, I need to find a way to integrate people's relationships as soon as possible." Todd buried his face in Rachel's silky hair and took a deep breath: "But now...
"
Rachel's eyes suddenly widened and she looked behind her in surprise: "Hey! What are you doing?! I really have no strength... um..."
Deirdre, who was awakened by the movement around her, looked at the bright spring scenery in front of her, quickly turned over, closed her eyes, and pretended to fall asleep again.
