Taking Deirdre and Evie out of the soul space, Todd said to them: "The pilgrimage site implanted with the soul seed has another function. If I am not there, you can directly enter the soul space through the pilgrimage site, This way I can immediately know your arrival..."

Before Todd's words fell, a sudden sentence made the three people in the room stunned: "I remember saying to you, try to use the power of the soul as little as possible during this time."

Todd turned and looked towards the stairs.

Meredith was sitting on the wooden steps, combing the crow feathers on his coat in time.

This mysterious woman looks no different from the young woman from the outside, but her words and deeds give people an inexplicable sense of vicissitudes.

Meredith looked at Todd and said again: "I told you that during this period of healing, use the power of the soul as little as possible. This will delay the healing of your wound..."

Evie took a small step forward without leaving a trace, put on a defensive posture, and asked in a low voice: "When did you come here?"

Meredith walked down the stairs and did not answer Evie’s question, but smiled and walked to Todd: "There is one thing you may not know. Just yesterday... King of Ulster Congee Urban, dead."

"Wait! Congee Urban is dead?!" Todd's eyes widened: "How did he die?!"

Meredith put his index finger against his chin: "Let me think about it, he seems to have his heart taken out of his chest..."

Todd frowned, and said again: "You should know that this is not what I want to ask? Who is the murderer?"

Meredith shrugged: "Cuchurin."

Hearing this unexpected name, Evie raised her voice unconsciously: "Cuchurin?! Isn't he a hero who is loyal to the Ulster Kingdom? Why kill the object of his loyalty?"

Meredith shook his head and said, "You have made a mistake. Cuchurin is loyal to Ulster, not Conch Urban. When the king's behavior makes him dissatisfied, according to his current temperament, he will kill him. It's a matter of course."

Evie asked in a speech: "He just killed the king like this, will the Ulsters let him go?"

Todd said at this time: "Due to the gladiatorial fight and Fiorza, the nobles of the Ulster Kingdom have long been disappointed with the king. They used the hand of a "hero" to get rid of a faint king. These people must It played a role in fueling the flames behind the scenes."

Meredith smiled and nodded: "That's right, half of the responsibility for this treason should belong to the nobles of Ulster. They believe that as long as the faint king is removed, it will be given to Alster. Steer brings hope, but..."

Deirdre, who was hiding behind Evie, poked his head out and asked, "But?"

"However, killing a mad dog attracted a monster."

Hearing Meredith's words, Todd had some questions: "You mean that Cuchurin will get rid of the control of those nobles?"

"Get rid of control?" Meredith gently shook his head towards Todd: "You see the animality in Cuchurin too simple..."

Seeing the doubts on the faces of the three in front of him, Meredith stretched out his palm and asked Todd: "Is there time? Just taking advantage of this opportunity, I want to ask you some questions."

Evie immediately asked alertly when he heard the words: "What do you want to ask?"

Todd smiled bitterly and waved his hand at Evie: "Don't be too nervous, if Meredith is really going to be against me, she would have done it to me a long time ago."

Giving Evie and Deirdre a relieved look, Todd followed Meredith to the second floor.

The latter came to a table, looked at the dead gun hung on the wall and wrapped in linen, and asked softly: "Todd, how do you view power?"

How to view power?

Such a strange question left Todd in a daze.

"In my opinion, power may be a tool for realizing ideals and ambitions." Todd said while thinking: "With it, you won't just watch the thing you love lose..."

Meredith looked at Todd's eyes with a slight softening that was imperceptible: "You are really gentle, but when you talk about the power in your body, you are using such bad reasons..."

Todd smiled slightly: "You don't believe me?"

"I believe in you now, but I can't believe in you in the future."

Meredith's tongue twister's answer made Todd frowned: "The future me? What do you mean by that?"

Meredith rubbed the crow feather with his fingers: "For humans, power is poison..."

"poison?"

"In the beginning, most people who yearned for power were not downright evil people. They had a certain noble sentiment."

"But with the passage of time, whether it is the powerful monarchs or the extremely powerful heroes, as the power gets stronger and stronger, the things you think slowly become more than one word."

"Bigter territory, more troops, stronger capabilities, more partners... Ideals, beliefs, honors and wisdom have already deepened gradually with the poison of power, and eventually fell into an endless abyss."

Meredith's eyes lost focus: "I have seen an ancient sage who was constantly fighting for the welfare of the same kind, but after contacting the tyrant... his power has completely lost him..."

Listening to Meredith's narration, Todd saw for the first time what was hidden in the woman's heart.

Meredith looked up at Todd: "Do you know why I had to persuade you to give up the path of tyrant? Because power will only bring destruction and depravity~lightnovelpub.net~The fancy reason is nothing but self-deception. Excuses."

Meredith stood up and watched Todd slowly said: "Our essence is human beings. No matter how our appearance changes and our abilities are enhanced, the fact that our hearts are constantly swaying between humanity and animality will always be Nor can it be obliterated."

Todd looked at the lonely Raven Feather woman, and just wanted to speak, but didn't know where to start.

Meredith smiled slightly: "The words I said today may seem to you more like a sick groan. But, soon, there will be a vivid example that will be presented before your eyes."

"Cuchurin killed Konchi Urban, what will happen next, whether humanity or animality, will ultimately dominate everything. Todd, I hope you can take a good look and think about it."

Meredith opened the door, turned his head, and threw the last sentence to Todd: "Remember my words, Tyrant... Actually, it doesn't keep us away from humanity, it just magnifies us. beast."
