Alien Knights

After receiving "Dead Silence" from Meredith, the moment Todd touched the body of the gun, he suddenly had an illusion - the weapon in his hand didn't seem to be dead, but there seemed to be a special life inside.

Looking up at Meredith, Todd asked, "About my wound, and this spear..."

The former shrugged and said: "According to my teacher, this long spear will not only hurt the body, but also the soul. Therefore, if you want to repair the wound, ordinary material means may not be useful. You can try the power of the soul." force."

Hearing this, Todd began to try to use the dark energy in his body to gather them on the wound on his back. Although the wound is still not recovering quickly, the original pain is slowly subsiding, and the sense of powerlessness has also eased to a certain extent.

Seeing Todd's expression gradually relax, everyone in the room heaved a sigh of relief.

Meredith found a chair and sat down, picked up an apple from the fruit plate as if no one else was there, wiped it on her clothes, and said while biting, "This wound on your body will take some time to heal. During this period of time, in addition to repairing your body, I suggest you do less activity, especially minimize the use of soul power."

Wrapping the dead gun again with sackcloth, Todd, with Deirdre's support, got out of bed and put on his coat, and said sincerely to Meredith, "I owe you a favor."

Meredith smiled and said: "As the king of the two kingdoms, you owe me more than this one. If you really count it, it is enough for me to eat and wear for the rest of my life."

Todd grinned.

Meredith glanced at the scenery outside the window: "I like it here, and I plan to stay here temporarily."

Evie looked up at Meredith, opened her eyes and said, "What did you say?!"

Seeing the surprised look of the Valkyrie, Meredith shook half of the apple in her hand: "Don't worry, I won't disturb the patient's recuperation."

Standing behind Todd, Deirdre said in a low voice, "In the temple not far away, there are longhouses for believers to live in."

Looking at this beautiful woman who blushes from time to time, Meredith laughed and teased, "Are you worried about your private life at night? I can assure you, I sleep very deeply."

Among the people present, perhaps only Todd really understood Meredith's painstaking efforts. She was worried that Cu Chulainn would come to attack her when she was injured, so she deliberately stayed as a guard.

"There is an attic above the second floor. Although there are a lot of sundries, it is still a good place to live after cleaning."

Todd's words surprised everyone.

Meredith looked up at the ceiling, stood up with a smile, poured all the food in the fruit plate into the feather coat, nodded to the people present and said: "If that's the case, then I don't have to be polite anymore .I’ve been on the road for several days, and I haven’t closed my eyes, and now I just need to catch up on sleep.”

"If you have nothing to do, don't bother me... Oh, by the way, except for eating."

After saying this, Meredith swaggered out of the bedroom.

Evie turned around and looked at Todd, with a look of shock and disbelief on her face.

Todd smiled and waved his hand, signaling her not to care.

Supha Mountains, the Temple of the Mother Goddess.

Eleanor leaned on the recliner, looked lazily at the garden outside the window, and asked, "How's it going, have you checked it out?"

Looking at the pile of documents in front of him, Garcia rubbed his temples with a headache: "According to the information provided by the congregation, the dragon seemed to appear out of thin air, and then disappeared out of thin air!"

Eleanor rested her chin on her arm, and fiddled with the flower buds in the bottle with her slender and soft fingers: "I originally thought that the so-called ancient gods had already abandoned this world and left his people to fend for themselves... ...but the appearance of a dragon means they are still watching us?"

Garcia frowned and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Your chief, the grand master who has never revealed his identity, rarely interferes with the affairs of the elders. And you, Garcia, as the deputy head of the Legion of Discord, have already monopolized the power of the entire legion." Eleanor looked at the man in front of her and said, "You, who are fully capable of controlling the entire cult, choose to obey me. Why?"

Garcia closed his eyes and shook his head slightly: "You know the reason."

Eleanor put her hand on Garcia's chest, quietly feeling his solid heartbeat: "If the gods really exist, my wish is to get rid of the shackles of this body and become a real god. What I want to ask is , would you like to embark on this road with me?"

Garcia pulled Eleanor into his arms, and answered the woman in his arms with a silent hug.

Eleanor rested her head on Garcia's heart and said softly, "To complete this journey, we need to do two things."

Garcia hummed lightly.

"The first thing is to defend the Religion. The Religion is our solid backing and the most reliable force in our hands, but it has always been under the threat of the Empire. Therefore, the key to strengthening the Religion lies in how to make it stronger in the world. Find a balance between power gaps." Eleanor said slowly: "Only when the world is constantly in war and chaos, can God's Cult gain a chance to develop... So, who is our greatest enemy, should you know?"

Garcia said calmly: "Saladin."

"That's right, he has already controlled the entire south by means of political and military means. If this continues, it is only a matter of time before he conquers the north. Although, in the battle of Lone Rock City this time, the giant dragon cost him a lot However, after all, his foundation has not been shaken. The most troublesome thing is that he has begun to be alert to the divine religion, squeezing our territory, arresting our believers, and weakening our influence. Saladin has listed us as His enemies..."

Garcia nodded in agreement with Eleanor's opinion: "We have no chance of winning if we confront him head-on, we must find another way."

The latter said with a smile: "The Ayub Empire is Saladin's empire, but without Saladin, this empire is nothing but a palace built on quicksand."

Garcia gradually understood what the other party was thinking: "You want to treat the Emperor of the Empire..."

"If there is the fastest and most direct way to solve a matter, then complicated plans and redundant behaviors will become burdensome." Eleanor sat up straight, her eyes shining brightly like stars: "Protect everything in the religion, and then we will have the opportunity to accomplish another thing - to find the dragon. Only by finding that dragon, can we find the way to the realm of the gods and become gods."

Garcia looked at these charming eyes with an intoxicated expression on his face: "However, we don't have any clues about this dragon."

Eleanor covered her mouth with her hand and laughed softly.

"Did you forget? There is a living clue that exists right under our noses."

"What?"

"My little puppet—Rachel."
