Alien Knights

"I always feel that your purpose of returning to the Presbyterian Church is not as simple as you said."

Sabrina, who was sitting on the window sill with her legs crossed, threw the dagger in her hand, looked at Rachel who was busy in the room, and asked suspiciously.

Rachel opened the old book in front of her, and while carefully looking at the text in it, she said, "Tell me, when Clarence was with you, how did he endure your suspicion and nagging?"

"That idiot who likes to watch theater?" Sabrina sighed slightly, and said in a nostalgic tone: "That guy is indeed very bad, but I have to admit, as long as you know his temper, he is actually a very good guy." The people I get along with... Unlike you, you always give me the feeling that you are tempting me to jump into a pit..."

After flipping through the ancient book in her hand, Rachel threw it into the pile of books at her feet, picked up another book from the desk, and began to look through it.

"Sabrina, you and I both have the same purpose, isn't that enough?" Rachel quickly drew something with a pen while comparing the graph on the note: "After achieving the purpose, you And I will be free in the end."

Sabrina jumped off the window sill and took a closer look. Rachel's notes had drawn a bunch of incomprehensible symbols and shapes.

"what are these?"

Rachel closed her notebook and asked Sabrina, "Do you believe in God?"

Sabrina took a few steps back and said in a deep voice, "Your question and tone both make me feel uncomfortable."

"I don't believe it." Rachel patted the cover of the notebook and said coldly: "I just believe that everything that exists has a reasonable explanation."

"I don't understand more and more, what on earth are you trying to say?"

Rachel didn't answer the question, stood up and walked outside.

Sabrina hurriedly followed: "Where are you going?!"

Rachel opened the door slightly, pointed at the two masked servants standing at the door, and said to Sabrina, "Do you have a way to deal with them?"

The latter opened his eyes wide and said, "Get rid of them?! Do you know what you are talking about? These two people were sent by Iliad to protect us!"

"Protection, but it's also surveillance." Rachel closed the door again, turned around and said, "It seems that even though I talked to Eliade, I still haven't disarmed him."

Sabrina covered her forehead and shook her figure: "Rachel, you have completely confused me! Isn't the purpose of your coming here to win Elder Iliad, help Muxi City, and get rid of Eleanor? ?"

"It's part of it," Rachel said, as she walked toward the inner bedroom.

Seeing Rachel kneeling on the ground and groping for something under the edge of the bed, Sabrina asked: "What do you mean by what you just said? What is part of the reason?!"

Rachel raised her head and said to Sabrina without answering the question: "When Mia and I were young, the thing we liked to do the most was hide and seek. During the game, we used to explore every corner of this ancient palace. Here are Some organs and secret passages existed thousands of years ago, but no one knew about them..."

Rachel's right hand jerked upwards, and a dull click came from the ground.

Accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of rubbing, the stone slabs under the bed slowly moved apart, finally revealing a stone staircase hidden in the darkness.

Sabrina asked with a numb scalp, "You always knew there was a secret passage under the bed? This is...?"

Rachel took out the torch she had prepared, got under the bed, and climbed a few steps down the stairs.

After a while, she turned around, exposed her head to the ground, and said to Sabrina: "This secret passage leads to the biggest secret of the Presbyterian Church, and the things inside are enough to destroy Eleanor...so, you Do you want to come with me?"

Sabrina looked at the dark hole, and said to herself depressedly: "Sometimes, I really hate my crow's mouth. I know it's a hole, but I can't control my legs... ..."

Sabrina hesitated again and again, and finally followed Rachel into the secret passage as if resigned to her fate.

The dark and damp passage leads all the way to the ground. The stone ladder is at an angle of 45 degrees, and the steps are narrow, so you can only stand sideways.

Rachel held the torch, walked ahead and picked up the ladder and descended.

Sabrina cautiously followed behind her. Hearing the wind passing by her ears, she couldn't help saying: "I have lived in the Presbyterian Church for hundreds of years, and I didn't even know there was such a secret passage."

"Let's say it's you, I'm afraid even the previous elders don't know the existence of these passages." Rachel said while stepping on the steps under her feet: "According to my guess, these organs and secret passages may be destroyed during the alien species purge." Construction has already begun.”

Sabrina paused: "Do you know what you're talking about? At that time, the alien race was still living in the Tyro Empire, and the so-called cleansing still lingered in some people's minds!"

Rachel asked softly in a flat tone: "What if the heterogeneous people have already known about this purge plan?"

Sabrina shook her head in disbelief and said, "I already knew?! How is this possible?"

"I have checked the sentencing records of the ancient Tailuo period. In the first three years before the start of the alien cleansing, the Tailuo Presbyterian House sentenced a total of 4,500 prisoners to exile. This abnormal number far exceeded The average value of previous years."

"So, do you suspect that before the cleansing plan, the leader of the xenogeneic species in the parliament was secretly transferring the xenogeneic species outside in the name of exile punishment?"

Rachel waved the torch and motioned Sabrina to look around: "Look at how much manpower and time it takes to complete these huge projects. Perhaps, the leaders of the alien species are smarter than we imagined. They use The ability monitors every move of those in power, and has been secretly preparing possible countermeasures on the premise that things are going towards the worst."

Sabrina looked around, and suddenly remembered something: "Wait a minute! Then you came back to the Presbyterian Church this time, and you didn't come back to win Elder Iliad's support at all?! You knew that old man from the beginning to the end, You will not agree to help Muxi City! You have gone to see him so many times, telling him what a beautiful paradise Muxi City is, and what a sage King Muxi is, are you just paralyzing his vigilance?"

"That's right, Iliad won't help Muxi City, I know that. But it's not a bad thing for him and me to let him know that there is such a paradise in this world." Rachel glanced back Sabrina: "I care more about what he's doing."

Sabrina frowned. "What are you doing...?"

Rachel turned her back and said softly, "Come with me, you'll find out soon."

Sabrina wanted to ask more questions, but Rachel stepped on her feet and stopped talking.

Looking at the back of the woman in front of her, Sabrina pursed her lips and said in a volume that only she could hear.

"Clarence is right in saying a word. In terms of being good at lying, you are really similar to Eleanor..."
