Sitting in the drawing room outside the laboratory door, Todd looked at the Gutello decorations around him, suddenly lost.

"The ancient Tairos created a glorious civilization and destroyed it with their own hands." Iliad walked out of the laboratory while wiping his hands: "No empire can escape the fate of destruction. It's like A strange circle."

Todd looked at Iliad and said: "Destruction does not mean disappearance. Look at these things in the room. At least Taylor's culture and heritage have been preserved."

Iliad shook his head and said, "Tell these words of yours to those who have died... People in the upper ranks often only have history in their eyes, but they forget that history is written by the people."

Todd said firmly: "At least I am not that kind of person."

Iliad glanced at Todd, was silent for a moment, and said, "I thought you were back."

Todd said, "You know I've been waiting for answers."

Eliad: "The answer you want, I can't help you."

Todd: "But maybe you can tell me where to find it."

Iliad sighed, found a chair and sat down: "Lord of the Dragon Kingdom, do you know why I keep turning away from your invitation?"

Todd: "Why?"

Eliad: "Because we are not on the same road."

Todd: "I don't understand."

Iliad closed his eyes and waved his hand, and said in a low voice, "You come with me."

Walking out of Iliad's residence, Todd followed him all the way down the Supuha Mountains.

Walking on a detour entwined in the mountains, Todd admired the snow on the side of the road, and said to Iliad, "Where are we going?"

Iliad said: "Not far from here."

Todd: "You just leave the Presbyterian Church like this? Don't you worry about trouble?"

Iliad raised his hand and pointed to the valley at the end of the mountain, where you could see the faintly rising smoke: "The buildings you see on the mountain are only a small part of the presbytery, and all of it is in ours. In front of you."

Todd used the eagle eye's power to look into the valley, where there were thousands of tents densely packed, and the noisy voices could be heard even if they were far away.

Eliad quickened his pace, followed the mountain road to the clearing at the mouth of the valley, and saluted an old woman who was sitting on a boulder and holding a shepherd's whip in her arms.

The old woman raised her head, her eyes had already turned gray, and the skin on her body was like dry earth, covered with furrows.

She ignored the Iliad who was saluting, turned her head to Todd's position, and "watched" for a long time.

Suddenly, the old woman opened her toothless mouth and gave a dry smile. Then, she raised the shepherd whip in her arms and made a blast in the air.

After doing all this, the old woman closed her eyes and sat back on the boulder with the whip, as if she had fallen asleep.

Iliad turned around and nodded to Todd: "We can go in."

Todd looked back at the old woman as he walked, and asked, "Who is she?"

"One of the last elders." Iliad walked forward quickly, admonishing as he walked: "Don't look into her eyes."

With doubts, Todd followed Iliad into the gathering place in the valley.

There are thousands of tents set up here, some are for people to live in, some are for storage of supplies, and some are for livestock.

These tents have the impression of the southern empire in the manufacturing process, but in terms of decoration and appearance, they are more similar to the marching tents of the ancient Tyro period.

People who came and went, found Iliad and Todd, stopped and discussed quietly.

Todd carefully observed the people around him, and asked Iliad, "Are these people all aliens?"

Iliad replied: "Yes."

Todd looked around again and soon discovered a strange fact: "Why do I only see the old man and the child, the young man?"

Iliad gave Todd a sideways look: "You can go and ask your woman."

Todd frowned and asked, "Rachel?"

Iliad continued to move forward: "Young people can't listen to the old man's admonitions, and have always longed for the outside world. This is the fundamental reason why they formed a heterogeneous association."

Todd was a little surprised: "You mean, the organization that Rachel is in, the Alien Association, originated here?"

Iliad: "A group of young people, ignorant of the sky and earth, dream of becoming a savior of a different species, and grasping their own destiny, so it is not a strange thing to come together."

Todd was displeased with the irony and disdain in Iliad's tone, and said, "At least they are working hard, aren't they?"

Iliad seems to have a big prejudice against the alien association: "We old people are also working hard, but they just ignore it, only..."

Eliad wanted to say something more, but suddenly stopped talking.

Todd glanced at Iliad's back. In the former's impression, the old man rarely had this kind of emotion in his words and deeds.

Iliad sighed lightly, patted the head of a child next to him, motioned him to go further, and then whispered: "They are the future of the different races. Others are going further and further on the wrong path."

Todd: "Other people?"

Iliad: "Eleanor is obsessed with human reproduction and cultivation technology, hoping to build a heterogeneous army to build a heterogeneous empire; Rachel and her heterogeneous association are actively participating in secular disputes. Go, try to use alien power to control religion and kingship..."

"Both roads will not be long-term."

Todd asked, "Reason?"

Iliad: "Eleanor pursues her own power. To her, alien species are more like a tool and a weapon. What she cares about is never the welfare of alien races, but her own future. "

"As for Rachel, she and the Alien Association hope to find the support of an authority in the secular world to legitimize the power of alien groups... But she has never thought about the power of alien groups themselves. , They are destined to not get real freedom."

"Those in power may rely on the power of alien species in the short term, but as long as the regime is stabilized, we are the alien species who will be the first to be attacked."

Todd said: "Eleanor's matter is aside, but Rachel once discussed with me about the placement of alien species. I can arrange suitable positions for alien species in the Dragon Kingdom and ensure that all alien species can get what they deserve. Power and security."

Iliad shook his head and said: "When you were in power, perhaps these laws and promises were valid, but your heirs, heirs of your heirs, can you guarantee that your children and grandchildren will abide by this promise? Can you guarantee you Will the kingdom’s empire continue forever and won’t be overthrown?"

Todd wanted to explain the laws of heaven and the balance of destiny to Iliad. UU read www.uukānshu.com, but after another thought, there were too many links involved. Too much detail was not good for things, so he kept silent.

Iliad continued: "The power of different races is our strength and our curse. We want to grasp our destiny, and we can only pin our hopes on ourselves."

Todd said: "So, you want to resurrect the sage Sutherland? But do you know how unstable Sutherland is now? The resurrection of such a person may bring devastating effects to different races and even the world. result."

Iliad looked at Todd indifferently: "Meridis told you? As a daughter, she doesn't believe in her father; as a different species, she doesn't believe in sages. How can such a person understand our vision? ?"

Todd was a little crazy: "Do you know what you are doing?! You are awakening a monster! When Sutherland wakes up, he can't protect the alien race again, all he can do is destroy everything!"

Iliad looked at Todd's eyes with a little pity and ridicule: "Lord of the Dragon Kingdom, you don't know anything."
