After reading the entire royal decree, Eliard's gaze lingered on Todd's autograph. After a long while, he suddenly looked up at Rachel and said, "I once received a letter from Theodore, in which he lavishly praised Todd Fisher and said he planned to return to the Council of Elders to tell me in detail about his experiences. However, before he could return, the messenger brought the terrible news."

"Theodore is a proud man, one could even say he's a bit arrogant. Back then, if it weren't for his personality, which offended too many people, I would never have been chosen as an elder in the council. But it's precisely this kind of person who spent most of his letter praising someone, which makes me very interested."

Rachel's eyes lit up, and she said hopefully, "So, you'd like to...?"

“Wait a minute, don’t rush, let me finish.” Iliad said in a deep voice, “The Holy King of Twilight City may be an excellent person, and under his leadership, Twilight City may become a starting point for the prosperity of the alien races. But how long can this prosperity last?”

Rachel was taken aback: "How long will it last?"

"I believe anyone with eyes can see what's going on in Muxi City. The Southern Empire will soon launch an offensive, and the Church in the East is also eyeing it covetously. Muxi City's heavy reliance on the alien race is less a decision and more a choice made out of desperation."

"Faced with an enemy that is better equipped and more numerous, the aliens will become the most useful tool of war," Ilya said earnestly. "But how will the aliens be treated after the war?"

Rachel pointed anxiously at the royal decree and said to Eliade, "But the king has already personally signed the document, stating that he will encourage and increase the spread of the alien race; moreover, you must know that the Holy King of Twilight City is himself an alien race..."

Looking at the other person's expression, Eliard sighed deeply: "Ratchel, you've missed the point. The reason why the alien race is oppressed is not because this race is different from normal people, but because the power of the alien race makes those in power feel fear."

"If it's just an ordinary person, their dissatisfaction with those in power might at most lead to a riot with pitchforks and sickles; but if the opponent is a different race, it's entirely possible for them to lose their head while the ruler is asleep. Therefore, any person or organization that gains power, regardless of whether they are a different race or not, will inevitably suppress the different race once the political environment is stable, because the different race poses a much greater threat to those in power than normal people."

Seeing Rachel deep in thought, Eliard tapped the document with his finger: "If I'm not mistaken, the Holy King's talk of popularizing alien species only means opening up a limited number of abilities, and there will be corresponding restrictions on the power of alien species. This approach precisely demonstrates his fear of alien species."

Rachel shook her head firmly: "Todd isn't that kind of person."

Eliad closed his eyes: "He may not be, but what about his designated successor? Or rather, will the future ruling class of this kingdom allow a powerful group that can overthrow them at any time to exist within the country?"

Rachel pursed her lips and remained silent.
