.., Alien Knights

Todd slowly opened his eyes and looked at the ruins of the temple around him. Long Tong was faintly shining because of grief.

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. The breath of flame was engulfed by 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 said loudly to Meredith, "Tell me where she is?!"

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

"Whether she is a human or a monster. In my most painful and desperate time, she will always be the Rachel who accompanies me and has never given up on me."

Meredith looked at the black dragon in front of him, and suddenly asked blankly: "Todd, if you want to make a choice among strength and feelings, what would you choose?"

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

The latter smiled suddenly: "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 think 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 of you. As a tyrant, you are like a sharp blade with a scabbard. You can 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 did not answer Todd's question, 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 turning her head, "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 clearing, Meredith looked around, nodded and said, "It's all right here."

Todd was at a loss: "What on earth do you want to do?"

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

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

Meredith took out a long-prepared cloak from Crow Feather, threw it to Todd, and said, "It might be a little uncomfortable to wait, but it's just a momentary thing."

"what?"

Before Todd could react, Meredith suddenly took his hand.

A large amount of electric charge began to accumulate in the air around the two of them. Accompanied by the crackling and cracking sound, one electric arc after another formed a huge electric ball, enveloping the two of them.

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

Todd really realized what is called "Fengqi Electric Switch". The surrounding scenery moved back at the speed of light, and when he reacted, he was already standing in a desert.

Meredith's face was a little pale, she sat on the hot sand, took a few breaths, and whispered: "It's been too long since I used the power, and the body can't keep up with recovery."

Todd looked at the surrounding environment in surprise: "We were in the shadow country just now, how come we suddenly came to the desert? Where is this place?!"

"The Abbasid Empire, the starting point of the Supuha Mountains." Meredith stood up and patted the sand on her body in disgust: "I hate the desert. Once the sand gets into the feathers, it is particularly difficult to manage."

Todd reacted suddenly: "You mean the Supuha 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, who had no other choice, had to follow Meredith and set off toward the depths of the desert.

After a long journey for more than half an hour, Todd was dizzy by the strong sun.

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

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

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

"Uh, you mean..."

Before Todd's words fell, a huge hole suddenly appeared under his feet, engulfing his body in an instant.

Under the influence of quicksand, Todd finally fell into a dark room after passing a long slide.

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

Raising her right hand, Meredith snapped her fingers, and a group of dazzling electric arcs shot out from her hand, quickly bounced around the room, igniting the torches on the wall.

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

"Before the ancient Tyro Empire initiated the order to cleanse the alien species, the organization of the Presbyterian Church already existed." Meredith found a rusty iron cable in the hidden grid of the wall, and pulled it hard, slowly pulling a heavy stone door. Rising, revealing a secret tunnel.

"The Archon of the Ancient Tyro Empire who led the Great Purge of Alien Species, long before he came to power, the leaders of the Presbyterian Church had already smelled a dangerous aura. They began to do everything possible to make efforts for the survival of alien races, including outwards. Secretly transporting heterogeneous criminals, raising funds to build shelters, etc. My father is one of the heterogeneous leaders."

Meredith stepped on the already dilapidated floor tiles, with a nostalgic expression on his face: "At that time, the aliens worked together, and everyone had the consciousness of sacrifice, in order to be able to survive in that troubled world. This race keeps as much blood as possible."

Taking a look at Todd thoughtfully, Meredith said softly, "Later, Rachel should have told you. After escaping from the empire, with the barbarian invasion and internal fighting, the alien species was the biggest at the time. The threats were lifted one by one. The people of the Presbyterian Church began to slack off and began to focus on fighting for power. The whole organization became a mess, forming cliques and arguing against each other has become the most common thing."

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

Meredith stopped before a stone gate and pushed forward with both hands, and the gate fell down.

The pungent smell of antiseptic liquid hit his face and Todd frowned deeply.

"This group of people secretly formed a heterogeneous alliance and intends to unite and fight against the ambitious and power-severs in the presbytery. They hope to use the method of resurrecting the leader to completely end the chaos in the presbytery."

Todd asked, "Alien Association? Resurrection leader???"

Meredith slapped the black crow feathers, and the debris in front of him leaped into the air, and was cleared to both sides by her: "Yes, Rachel is a member of the Alien Association. She was assigned the task at the time to fight the Presbyterian Church. At the same time as a careerist, seek to resurrect the leader."

"Let’s put the matter of the heterogeneous association aside, let’s get to the point, or talk about the resurrection of the leader. Thousands of years ago, the first leader group in the presbytery led the heterogeneous group and escaped from the Tyrol Empire. The Great Purge, so they are regarded as sages by all alien species, and they are regarded as beings that are close to gods. The idea of ​​the alien species association is that if one of them can be resurrected and returned to the world, then the entire elder will surrender to This leader, there will be no more disputes."

"Resurrect the dead? Reborn? Can this be done?" Todd said suspiciously: "It is difficult even for Skarha to bring a person who has been dead for a long time to life again."

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

"As for how to resurrect the leader, the Alien Association has thought of many ways, including a strange ritual-human reproduction."

"Through cultivation and reproduction of a small piece of tissue from the human body, a replica that is exactly the same as the body is finally obtained."

Todd's eyes widened unconsciously, and he thought to himself, how could this method sound more like a human clone from a previous life?

After walking down the last stone steps, Meredith said: “The ritual of human reproduction has been tried by the Alien Society for hundreds of years. After the study of countless scholars and masters, it was once considered a dead end. A breakthrough was made ten years ago."

Meredith waved his hand to light up the surrounding torches. Com, a huge laboratory full of crystal cultivation sinks, appeared in front of Todd's eyes.

There are hundreds of huge cultivation sinks erected in the room, most of which have dried up and cracked, and only a small part are relatively intact.

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

Seeing that this man was not like a ghost or a ghost, floating in the antiseptic liquid, Todd stepped back a few steps, his chest felt a little stuffy.

Meredith walked to the door of the laboratory, wiped clean a bronze medal hanging on the door, and then motioned Todd to come and take a look.

Suspicious Todd approached the bronze medal and saw the words clearly through the firelight, his eyes widened to the fullest, and his body began to tremble unconsciously.

On the bronze medal, it can still be seen vaguely as a name.

"Richel"
