The night will eventually pass and dawn will come.
When the first ray of sunshine from the east shone into this small town that had experienced a night of terror, it meant that what would later be called the "Watchtown Massacre" came to an end.
Nearly half of the 1,135 residents in the town died, with corpses strewn everywhere. The scene was horrific. In some streets and even every house, not a single person was alive.
After the "Watchtown Massacre", it took seven days to clean up the corpses and clean up the mess. There was even a shortage of coffins used to bury the victims, and people had to use signs, tables and chairs to build temporary coffins.
What's more serious than this is that of the 225-man garrison of Watch Castle, less than a hundred people survived; the commander Sir Adams and his four knights passed away to Heavenly Father. This is the number of people who have been damaged in the hundreds of years since Watch Castle was built.
Look, a tragic loss like never before.
However, there is finally good news among the bad news.
The barbarians, who had not invaded south for several years, took advantage of the night of the "Watchtown Massacre" to launch a fierce attack on the fortress. Fortunately, Knight Wilder led the remaining defenders, and Todd arrived in time.
With the help of the priest, the enemy troops were repelled and this vital castle was defended.
After saying goodbye to Wilder, the four members of Todd's group left Watchfort. Before leaving, he did not forget to properly preserve the chopped "hive" parasite and bring it back to the camp at the foot of the mountain.
Knight Alfonso complied with the temporary agreement made with the priest in the winch room: he and Leslie were not allowed to mention the fact that Todd was the "successor of Sutherland" to anyone, not even his other two retainers.
; Correspondingly, the latter promised to prove the legitimate origin of his own abilities and solve the alienation phenomenon of his successor as soon as possible.
After handing over the crystal relic to the knights of the West Parish, Todd immediately led the team back the same way. Alfonso and his followers did not return to Silver Ring City, but followed him back to Muxi Town.
On the afternoon of his first day back in the town, Todd ignored the piled-up official duties and ignored the residents requesting arbitration. He first invited four guests from the Inquisition to visit his newly built laboratory. New
laboratory, from the appearance
, is a quite unique three-story building with white walls and red tiles, exquisite and elegant. From the layout point of view, all functions have been fully considered. The first floor is the laboratory, warehouse and reception room; the second floor is the living room and library.
room and terrace; the third floor is the attic and astrological platform.
This small alchemy building was built behind the small town church. All the experimental supplies and materials belonging to Todd from the original monastery and Silver Ring City were transported here.
People in the town like to call this place the "Gospel Alchemy Room".
Among the four people who were invited, Walton walked excitedly at the front. He was the first to open the door and walk into the laboratory room. There were hundreds of strange-looking alchemy equipment, wooden shelves full of experimental materials, and tubes.
The colorful liquid made him dizzy and amazed.
"This is where the 'Eye of God' was made?"
Hearing the pudgy man's question, Todd smiled and nodded.
The knight didn't seem to be very interested in these things. He coughed twice and signaled Todd to get to the point as soon as possible.
Under Leslie's strange eyes, Todd led Alfonso to the back room of the laboratory, took down the locked iron box from the shelf, opened it and took out syringes, microscopes, petri dishes and other equipment.
After hiding some key links and giving a simple explanation, Todd could tell from the knight's eyes that the other party believed his words seven to eight points.
Just as the knight was checking the equipment, Todd suddenly remembered something and made a strange request to the knight.
"Sir Decavo, I have a request."
Alfonso put down the microscope in his hand and indicated that he was listening.
Todd chose his words: "I am the successor of Sutherland. I have three powers: 'Speed', 'Weakness', and 'Perspective'. You already know that Karin has the power of teleportation.
According to the principle of fairness and justice, should you tell me equally the four powers you know?"
The knight was a little confused: "Father, I don't understand what you mean."
Todd said: "I mean, I once heard Leslie say that you and your followers are all alien species. To be fair, you should tell me about your alien abilities. Isn't this an unwritten rule among alien species?
?”
Alfonso was stunned, and then said: "Uh... this is a bit... inappropriate..."
Pointing his finger at the equipment in front of him, Todd looked extremely aggrieved: "In order to gain your trust, I even told you my biggest secret as an alchemist for free. Can't you make up for my loss a little bit?
?”
The knight thought for a long time, finally sighed deeply and said slowly: "My alien ability is called 'Dragon Bone'. I believe you have seen it. There is something like metal bones covering my whole body. They can help
I take hits and enhance my set of abilities."
"Leslie's alien ability is called 'Fire Breath'. His body can eject flammable gas, which can be ignited when it encounters fire."
"Adelina's alien ability is 'Beast Language'. She can communicate simply with animals, comfort them and obtain information."
"Walton's alien ability is 'Eagle Eye'. He can magnify objects in his field of vision to help him aim and shoot better."
Listening to the knight's introduction, Todd's heart skipped a beat when he heard about Walton's ability "Eagle Eye", and a genius idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
After Alfonso finished talking about the powers of the four people, he turned to Todd and asked: "As for the source of the powers in the body, I believe you are innocent. There is another thing that you said before that can stop the successor.
Can it be possible to transform into monsters and help them return to normal?"
Putting aside the thoughts in his mind for the time being, Todd thought for a while and said: "I need to do some experiments, which may take time."
The Iron Masked Knight didn't seem satisfied with this answer: "What you lack most now is time. No one knows when the Sutherland relics in your body will explode. I will stay by your side. Once something happens, I will
Fulfill my duties."
Todd immediately understood what the other person meant by "fulfilling one's duties."
Thinking about the days to come, there will be a big sword hanging on his neck, which may cut off his head at any time, Todd's back is dripping with cold sweat, this is simply a "Damok" hanging high above his head.
