Alien Knights

Chapter 257: Secrets of the Kingdom of Shadows (2)

Carefully lifting the hem of the crowfeather robe, Meredith waded across the water on the ground on tiptoes, and walked in front of Todd and Rachel.

"The Kingdom of Shadows is not as beautiful and peaceful as it seems on the surface. In many places, murderous intent is hidden." Meredith reached into the spring eye and held out a splash of water. "There are many such things on this island. Their springs are connected to groundwater. For those who have passed the trial, they are nothing more than nectar to quench their thirst; but for ordinary people, these are poisons that pierce the intestines."

Rachel opened his eyes wide, his hands shook, and the spring water in his palm instantly fell to the ground.

Todd looked at this ordinary spring water and asked Meredith, "Where can I find a safe source of water?"

"Every time, there will be some admirers who come to the island, carrying clean water and food, to the island." Meredith pointed her finger to the ground, with a plain expression on her face. The words spoken were frightening: "When they return to the dust, these materials will naturally change hands."

Untie a well-made water bag from his waist, Meredith handed it to Rachel, "Its owner, I don't need it anymore."

Rachel took the water sac, looked at the surface of the container in a complex mood, the initials written in ochre, and then glanced at Todd.

The latter nodded slightly at her.

Only then did Rachel unscrew the stopper and gulped the water.

Meredith looked disgusted, glanced at the insect beetles that got in and out of the rock wall, and stepped back and said to Todd, "It's not just the water source, but the fruit, beast meat, fish and shrimp here are for outsiders. , They are all highly poisonous people who accidentally eat them, the light ones will go crazy, and the heavy ones will die directly."

"Why does this happen?" Todd asked strangely.

Meredith gave the other party a roll of eyes, "Isn't it obvious that this is the quiet country of the undead, everything contains a curse, and only a demigod who has passed the trial can resist such a curse."

Todd touched the bridge of his nose and pondered for a while. After thinking about it, he always felt that the explanation behind these things was not that simple.

Meredith retired to the hall of the temple, looked at the sky along the patio, and then said to Todd, "The sun will soon set, take a good rest, tomorrow morning my master will arrange suitable training for you. ."

"train"

Todd was a little dumbfounded. "You may have misunderstood some things. We are not here for training."

"It's for the tyrant, isn't it"

Meredith's sudden words surprised Todd.

The latter tried to ask, "You once said that behind the dark gate, there is a tyrant, but then again, what is a tyrant?"

Meredith turned and planned to leave "The trial is just the beginning. Through the training arranged by my master, you will get closer to the truth of the tyrant step by step."

"By the way, my master has been in a very good mood recently. After all, the Kingdom of Shadows has ushered in two demigods one after another. This is something that has never happened in the past." Meredith looked at To. De, said solemnly, "So, don't talk about those wanton remarks in front of her, trust me, you definitely don't want to see her anger."

Walking to the gate of the temple, Meredith suddenly remembered something. She took out a packet of food from Crow Feather, threw it to Todd from a distance, and said loudly, "There is some clean food in it, let you My companion saves some food."

"After all, the next team of trialers, God knows when it will come." At this point, Meredith turned her back, and a dark glow that no one could understand flashed in her eyes.

That night, the temple stone room.

After several days of struggling with life and death, Todd finally remembered his other identity, King Muxi.

After unfolding the soul space, Todd began to call the important officials of the kingdom to enter the space.

The officials who had been summoned by the long-lost king and entered the soul space were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

Some are grateful, some are praised, and some are complaints.

But seeing the familiar king standing in front of everyone without incident, in everyone's heart, there is more a feeling of falling to the ground.

After a day of hardship that ordinary people can't imagine, Todd, exhausted, has no energy to deal with the kingdom's government affairs. He can only greet everyone one by one, and then close the soul space.

On the cold floor, listening to the sound of the waterfall outside the room, after sleeping for the most stable sleep in his life, Todd was awakened by Meredith's voice early the next morning.

"It's time to get up, new guy."

Rachel made a gesture toward the sleepy-eyed Rachel on the stone bed and motioned to the other party to sleep a little longer. Todd finished packing and walked out of the temple.

The rising sun sprinkled the golden morning glory on the ridge.

Standing on the high pinnacle, Meredith spread out the black crow feathers all over his body, like a bird enjoying the sun, squinting his eyes slightly with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"What is today's training"

Hearing Todd’s question, Meredith put away the crow feathers, jumped off the stone platform, walked down the mountain, and dropped a sentence, "My master has arranged everything. Don’t worry, the training session on the first day can only be It's a warm-up."

Following Meredith to the foot of the mountain, Todd saw a man and a woman standing on a flat ground behind the temple.

A woman is naturally the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, Skaha.

And the man, who looks about twenty years old, has a burly figure and profound features, is the one who was called Cuchulin yesterday.

Cuchurin held a stone hammer and a wooden shield, with one foot in front and the other behind, with Skaha as the center of the circle, slowly moving in a circle, staring at the queen's movements, looking for any flaws.

Skaha held a long branch as a spear and held it diagonally in front of his chest, the purple long swaying gently in the breeze.

Cuchurin moved to the direction of the backlight, and with the sun behind him, made a lightning-fast attack.

But ~lightnovelpub.net~ Before Todd could see the details of the shot, Skaha only trembled slightly, and Cú Chulainn flew upside down for dozens of meters, fell into the woods, and broke. Several big trees, stone hammers and wooden shields in his hands also turned into powder.

Todd took a breath, and touched his forehead with a numb scalp.

As if seeing his worry, Meredith smiled and said to him, "Don't worry, today is your first day of training. I won't arrange such a difficult course for you. Your opponent, someone else."

Meredith blew a whistle to the sky, and then turned back to Todd and said, "Your power trial, the original opponent was taken first, I helped you find a monster that is exactly the same."

With a full of ominous premonition, Todd looked towards the sky, a lion-headed and scorpion-tailed monster, flapping its wings, slowly landed on the flat ground.
