Alien Knights

Presbyterian Church, a gathering place for alien species.

Todd, who was sitting on the grass, stared blankly at the children running and playing between the tents. His hands were tightly intertwined, but there was no expression on his face.

Eliad walked behind Todd on crutches, looked at the scenery in front of him, and asked softly: "Have you been here very early in the past few days?"

As if he didn't hear the old man's question, Todd said to himself: "What will the future be like for these children?"

Eliade found an open space next to Todd and sat down. While rubbing his old waist, he said, "No one knows what their future will be like."

Todd turned his head and stared into Eliade's eyes: "These children should at least be given a chance to decide their own future.

Eliade asked in confusion: "What do you want to say?"

Todd continued: "There are some things you didn't tell me truthfully about Sutherland, let alone these aliens."

Eliade did not directly answer Todd's question: "Sometimes, lies are truer than the truth."

Todd gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Sutherland is actually an undead. Am I right?"

Eliade's body trembled, but he did not refute or quibble.

Todd: "In that soul transfer ceremony a hundred years ago, you used the resurrected bugs, tyrants, and Sutherland's remains to inadvertently create the world's first undead."

Eliade whispered: "That was the only way at the time."

Todd: "But you never realized how much harm this undead would cause to the entire world!"

Eliade repeated what he just said: "That was the only way at the time..."

Todd was furious in an instant, and the huge dragon tail burst out of his body, sweeping down the tent behind him. Countless scales sprouted from his arms, and the dragon wings on his back also burst out.

The half-human, half-dragon Todd grabbed Eliad by the collar, lifted him into the air, and roared loudly: "Do you know what you guys did?!"

Eliade, who was caught by Todd, did not struggle at all in mid-air. He coughed and waved his hands to signal the aliens around him not to act rashly.

Eliade said with difficulty: "The alien race needs Sutherland. No matter what he becomes, we still need him..."

"madness!"

Todd, who has completely transformed into a dragon, is completely controlled by anger.

He completely gave up his human form. The dragon tail covered with spikes extended to a length of more than ten meters. A flick of the tail left bottomless traces on the grass.

Amid the screams of people around him, Todd lifted the tiny Iliad in front of him, and his cold golden dragon eyes reflected the old man's pale face.

"Tell me, what is Sutherland planning?!"

"The so-called sheltering aliens and the so-called savior are nothing but lies!"

"What does an undead want to do?!"

"I can guess with my feet that he wants to turn these innocent people into dead souls and become his slaves to the gods!"

Facing the roar of the dragon, Iliad smiled, and he asked Todd a strange question: "So, just now... you asked me, what will be the future of these children? You are actually worried about these alien species ,Right……?"

Seeing Eliad's smile, Todd's anger became even more violent. He opened his huge mouth, and a blazing flame gathered in his throat. The old man was about to die on the spot.

"Let go of the elder! You devil!"

A childish voice came from Todd's feet.

A half-grown boy wearing a linen gown threw a stone hard and hit Todd on the leg.

Todd lowered his head, looked at the trembling boy who was groping for the second stone on the ground, and slowly stopped all movements.

Soon, a few more bold children broke away from the restraints of their parents, rushed in front of Todd, picked up rocks and threw them at the "devil" with wings and scales.

The stone hitting Todd's body was unable to cause any damage at all.

However, Todd seemed to be drained of all his strength by the scene in front of him.

He slowly put down Iliad and sat blankly on the ground, his dragon wings folded together and his head shaking in pain.

Eliad straightened his clothes, let out a long breath, and said to the gathered aliens: "It's okay, it's okay... just disperse. That's right, you heard what I said, just disperse." Bar."

Seeing people running away with worries on their faces, Eliad walked to Todd's feet, looked up at the giant creature in front of him, and said to Todd: "Even if you kill me, you can't change everything."

Todd looked at Eliade, his words filled with sadness and helplessness: "I finally understand what you just said... Sometimes, lies are truer than the truth."

Eliade shook his head slightly and continued: "Todd, you can't change anything."

Todd raised the dragon's head, looked around, and said: "These people gathered here because they admired Sutherland and sought his asylum. They had no idea that death would become their only destination... But , can you and Sutherland have the heart to deceive and betray them?"

Eliade asked: "Todd, I have a question. These alien species are not your subjects. You have no obligation to take care of them at all. Why do you care about the lives of these people?"

Todd slowly lowered his head, looked at Eliade and said: "These alien species have been oppressed and displaced since thousands of years ago. They deserve a better life, not like now, becoming some careerist on the road to becoming a god. of masonry.”

After listening to Todd's words, Eliade stared at him for a long time, and finally sighed: "I admit, I'm not as good as Sutherland when it comes to seeing people..."

Todd asked doubtfully: "What do you mean by this?"

Eliade picked up the crutches on the ground, slapped his back, and said, "Todd, you passed Sutherland's test."

Todd: "Test? What test?"

Eliade: "I thought it would take more time, but to my surprise, I think you are ready..."

Todd: "What the hell are you talking about?"

Eliade raised his crutch and pointed at the mountainous Supuha Mountains: "I think you are ready to see Sutherland."

Todd asked in surprise: "You mean, I can see Sutherland?"

Eliade walked forward for a while, looked back and saw Todd still hesitating, and said, "Are you worried that Sutherland will be detrimental to you?"

After thinking for a while, Todd flapped his dragon wings, followed Eliade's footsteps, and said firmly: "I must see Sutherland, he has something I need, something that can save the entire world. "
