Alien Knights

Todd slowly opened his eyes, looking at the ruins of the temple around him, the dragon pupils were faintly shining with sadness.

Meredith came from not far away, looked at the silent dragon, and said, "Let me guess, after listening to what I said last time, you went to see Rachel."

Todd moved his limbs and slowly crawled towards Meredith on the ground. There was a breath of flames around the dragon's mouth, and there was an uncontrollable anger in his voice: "You must know where Rachel is now?!"

"It seems that your conversation was not pleasant."

Todd shouted at Meredith, "Tell me where she is?!"

"Even if you can find her, so what?" Meredith looked directly into Todd's eyes: "The key is, can you accept her?"

"Whether she is a human being or a monster. When I was in the most pain and despair, she was always the Rachel who was by my side and never gave up on me."

Meredith looked at the black dragon in front of her, and suddenly asked blankly: "Todd, if you had to make a choice between strength and emotion, what would you choose?"

Todd struggled to get up from the ground, looked at Meredith and shouted: "If human beings have no emotions, what is the difference between them and dead bodies crawling out of the grave?!"

The latter suddenly smiled: "Todd, you are qualified."

Hearing Meredith's words, Todd looked confused: "Qualified? What do you mean?"

"I have seen too many people who destroy humanity in pursuit of power. Therefore, even if you show restraint on power and thinking about the future, I still have deep concerns about your humanity."

Meredith smiled and said: "The relationship between you and Rachel is my last test for you. As a tyrant, you are like a sharp blade, whether you have a scabbard Can come to restrain your behavior."

Todd looked at Meredith angrily: "Stop your tricks! I don't care if you trust me, I just want to know where Rachel is?!"

The latter didn't answer Todd's question, but just looked at his body and said to himself: "It seems that your injury has basically healed."

After saying this, Meredith turned around and walked straight outside.

Todd stared at Meredith's back: "Where are you going?"

Meredith said without looking back, "Don't you want to see Rachel? Come with me."

Standing upright with difficulty, Todd followed Meredith's footsteps and walked towards the edge of the temple.

Walking to a quiet open space, Meredith looked around, nodded and said, "This is fine."

Todd was at a loss: "What the hell are you trying to do?"

Meredith looked at the huge body of the black dragon, folded her arms together, and said leisurely: "Transform into a human form. I can't take you to see her like you are now."

Todd's eyes widened, but in the end, according to Meredith's words, he transformed the dragon form into a human form.

Meredith took out a cloak that had been prepared from under the crow's feathers, threw it to Todd and said, "It may be a little uncomfortable later, but it will only be a moment."

"What?"

Before Todd could react, Meredith suddenly took his hand.

A large amount of electric charges began to gather in the air around the two of them, and with the sound of crackling and cracking, electric arcs formed a huge electric ball one after another, enveloping the two of them.

Suddenly, after a loud thunderclap, the electric ball disappeared in an instant, leaving only a sparking path left on the ground.

Todd really experienced what is called "speeding like lightning". The surrounding scenery moved at the speed of light, and he kept retreating. By the time he realized it, he was already standing in a desert.

Meredith's face was a little pale. Sitting on the hot sand, she took a few breaths and said softly: "It's been too long since I used the power, and my body can't recover."

Todd looked at the surrounding environment in surprise: "We were still in the Kingdom of Shadows just now, why did we suddenly come to the desert? Where is this?!"

"The Abbasid Empire, the starting point of the Supha Mountains." Meredith stood up and patted the sand off her body in disgust. "I hate deserts. Once the sand gets into the feathers, it is very difficult to take care of."

Todd suddenly reacted: "You mean the Supha Mountains? The location of the Presbyterian Temple?"

Meredith glanced at the direction of the sun, and walked forward on her own: "Don't you want to know where Rachel is? Come with me."

Todd had no other choice but to keep up with Meredith and head towards the depths of the desert.

After more than half an hour's long journey, Todd was dizzy and dizzy from the strong sunlight.

Meredith walked to the shade of a big rock, stepped on the nearby sand with her feet, and said to herself, "If I remember correctly, it should be here."

Todd walked up to her and asked, "What's here?"

Meredith lowered her body, found a protrusion under the big rock, pressed it hard, smiled at Todd and said, "The secret entrance to the underground temple of the Presbyterian Church."

"Uh, you mean..."

Before Todd could finish his sentence, a huge hole suddenly appeared under his feet, instantly engulfing his body in it.

Under the effect of quicksand, his body passed a long slide, and Todd finally fell into a dark room.

Meredith quickly jumped off the slide and landed firmly beside Todd.

Raising her right hand, Meredith snapped her fingers, a dazzling electric arc shot out from her hand, quickly bounced around the room, and ignited the torches on the wall one by one.

Todd stood up, looked at the ruins of the underground world, and couldn't help asking: "Is this the underground temple of the Presbyterian Church?"

"Before the ancient Tyro Empire launched the order of alien purge, the organization of the Presbyterian Church already existed." Meredith found a rusty iron chain from the hidden compartment of the wall, and pulled it hard, and a heavy stone door slowly opened. Rise up, revealing a secret corridor.

"The ancient Tairo Empire consul who led the purge of alien species, long before he came to power, the leaders of the Presbyterian Church had already smelled the danger. They began to do everything possible to make efforts for the survival of the alien race group, including outward Secretly transporting alien criminals, raising funds to build shelters, etc. My father is one of the alien leaders."

Meredith stepped on the already dilapidated floor tiles, with a nostalgic expression on her face: "At that time, the heterogeneous people worked together, and everyone had the consciousness of sacrifice, in order to be able to survive in that troubled world. This group retains as many bloodlines as possible."

Glancing at the thoughtful Todd, Meredith said softly: "Rachel should have told you about what happened later. After escaping from the empire, with the invasion of the barbarians and the infighting of the empire, the largest alien race was at that time. The threats were removed one by one. People in the Presbyterian Church began to slack off and began to focus on the struggle for power. The entire organization became a mess, forming cliques and attacking each other, which became the most common thing."

"Later, some people with lofty ideals in the Presbyterian Church decided to find a way to end this situation of internal fighting and reintegrate all the alien forces together."

After saying this, Meredith stopped in front of a stone door, pushed forward with both hands, and the door fell down.

A pungent smell of antiseptic liquid came over his face, making Todd frowned deeply.

"This group of people secretly formed a heterogeneous alliance association, intending to join forces to fight against those careerists and power grabbers in the Presbyterian Church. They hope to use the method of resurrecting the leader to completely end the chaos in the Presbyterian Church."

Todd then asked: "The Alien Association? Resurrection leader??"

Meredith flapped her black crow feathers, and the debris in front of her rose into the air, and she cleared them to both sides: "That's right, Rachel is a member of the Alien Association, and the mission she was assigned at the time was to fight against the Council of Elders. At the same time as a careerist, he seeks how to revive the leader."

"Let's put aside the matter of the heterogeneous association, let's get back to the topic, let's talk about the resurrection of the leader. Thousands of years ago, the first leader group in the Presbyterian Church led the heterogeneous group to escape from the Tailuo Empire and escaped Great cleansing, so they are regarded as sages by all alien races, and are regarded as beings close to gods. The idea of ​​​​the alien race association is that if one of them can be resurrected from the dead and return to the world, then the entire elders will surrender This leader, there will be no more disputes."

"Resurrecting the dead? Bringing them back to life? Can this be done?" Todd said suspiciously: "It is difficult for even Scathach to bring a person who has been dead for a long time back to life."

Meredith pressed several stone slabs one by one on the stone wall, only to hear a click, and a downward stone step appeared on the ground.

"As for how to revive the leader, the Alien Association has thought of many ways, including a weird ritual - human body copying."

"A small piece of tissue from the human body will be cultivated and multiplied to finally obtain a copy that is exactly the same as the main body."

Todd's eyes widened unconsciously, thinking to himself, why does this method sound more and more like human cloning in a previous life?

Walking down the last stone steps, Meredith said: "The ritual of human body replication has been tried by the Alien Association for hundreds of years, and has been studied by countless scholars and masters. It was even once considered a dead end. Finally, after several A breakthrough was made ten years ago."

Meredith waved and lit the torches around, and a huge laboratory full of crystal culture tanks appeared in front of Todd's eyes.

There are hundreds of huge vertical culture tanks in the room, most of them have dried up and cracked, only a small part is still relatively intact.

Todd walked to a cultivation tank, wiped off the dust on the surface with his palm, and a deformed and ugly face appeared in front of him.

Seeing this ghost-like creature floating in the antiseptic liquid, Todd took a few steps back, feeling a little stuffy in his chest.

Meredith walked to the door of the laboratory, wiped off a bronze plaque hanging on the door, and motioned for Todd to come and take a look.

Full of doubts, Todd approached the bronze medal and saw the words on it clearly by the firelight. His eyes were wide open, and his body began to tremble unconsciously.

A name can still be vaguely seen on the bronze medal.

"Rachel"
