Alien Knights

Chapter 697: Sutherland's Promise (middle)

Looking at the other party's attire, and comparing the monster he saw before, Todd hesitated: "Are you really Sutherland?"

   The man put the kettle on the wooden stand by the garden and waved to Todd: "Come in, you have enough time to ask questions."

   Todd followed the man, walked through the garden, walked past the lintel of a cylindrical arch structure made of marble, and entered a small fountain courtyard covered with floor tiles and a swing.

   Todd glanced at the fountain sculpture shaped like a maid holding a water bottle, and stopped involuntarily.

   Sutherland looked back at Todd, and said happily, "What do you think? I sculpted her by myself."

   Todd stared at the sculpture's face and asked uncertainly: "She looks a bit like someone I know."

   Sutherland: "Meredith, my daughter."

   Todd was taken aback, and suddenly reacted.

   This sculpture is indeed somewhat similar to Meredith.

   With doubts, Todd followed in Sutherland's footsteps, bypassed the fountain pool, and stepped into the vestibule.

   The tall and simple cross-ribbed vaults, the unique fan-shaped column lintel, paintings and flowers can be seen everywhere, this is the first time Todd has entered an ancient Tyro style house.

   Sutherland sat down on a recliner and motioned to Todd to sit next to him.

   Todd Yiyan sat in another recliner, looked at everything in the room, and asked, "This is the soul space...?"

   Sutherland nodded: "If you like this title more, yes, this is my soul space."

   There are too many questions for a while, and Todd doesn't know what to ask first.

   Sutherland patted his forehead, as if suddenly remembering something: "Todd, I want you to meet my family first. Spria, let the children come out..."

   From the inside of the front hall, a middle-aged woman with a beautiful figure walked out. Although the years had left marks on her face, there was still no way to obliterate her temperament.

   She smiled and pulled out two children, one child and one child. The older one was a girl, about twenty years old, but her speech and actions looked like a young child.

   The younger one is a boy, six or seven years old, with a dull expression, unable to speak, and only occasionally reacts to the outside world.

   Sutherland brought his wife and children to her side, smiling for the first time on her face.

   Todd looked at this house and reluctantly said hello.

   As if seeing the other's inner thoughts, Sutherland didn't let the family delay much time, and signaled his wife Spria to leave with the children first.

   Before leaving, Spria asked Todd, "Guest from afar, what do you want to eat at night? I can prepare now."

   Todd was a little embarrassed, and replied, "Thank you for your kindness, but don't bother, I will leave soon."

   Spria looked disappointed, but she smiled and nodded, and took the child out of the front hall.

   After Sutherland's family had all gone, Todd asked, "They...?"

   Sutherland seems to have known what Todd wanted to ask: "They are real souls, not my creations in the soul space."

   Todd widened his eyes: "How are you...?"

Sutherland: "In the great purge thousands of years ago, most of my family members were killed by mobs. After I was called back to my soul by the Presbyterian Church, I have been trying to find my family members, and used the spirit to call various A way to bring them back to me."

   Todd thinks back to the meeting with Sutherland's family just now, and he always feels a little strange.

Sutherland told him the answer directly at this time: "My family members who have died, because their souls have been wandering for too long and suffered inhuman torture during their lifetime, their souls have been damaged to varying degrees. . In searching for their souls, I and the people in the Presbyterian Church have tried their best, but the fragmentation of these souls has been difficult to restore to the original. So, as you can see, their Words and deeds do not look like normal people."

Todd recalled what Meredith had said, that Sutherland's wife and children had been tortured by the angry citizens of Gutello for several days before he died in agony with various cruel criminal laws. .

   Todd raised his head and asked Sutherland, "Meredith, does she know everything here?"

   Sutherland: "She doesn't know."

   Todd: "Why didn't you tell her?"

   Sutherland’s expression flashed a painful look for an instant, and after a while, he said: "With hatred for me, she can go further."

   Todd: "But..."

   Before the words finished, Sutherland’s wife Spria walked slowly and asked Todd, "Guest from afar, what do you want to eat tonight? I can prepare now."

   Todd was stunned. The other party had just asked this question.

   Sutherland made a helpless expression at Todd.

   Recalling what Sutherland had just said about the broken soul, Todd immediately realized why Spria had acted so abnormally.

   "Thank you, I have eaten it before."

   Hearing Todd's answer, Spria nodded disappointedly, turned and left.

   Looking at the back of his wife leaving, Sutherland said to Todd: "Forgive her, she rarely has symptoms... But today is a bit special, there are usually few guests here..."

   Todd nodded his head to express understanding, and continued: "About Meredith..."

   Sutherland: "She is a strong child, even if she is alone, she can live outside..."

   Todd: "But she also needs family."

   Sutherland turned to look at Todd: "It sounds like you care about her very much."

   Todd: "She helped me a lot... and, I can't imagine, living alone for thousands of years without the company of my family..."

   Sutherland shook his head and said, "Todd~lightnovelpub.net~ I can't involve Meredith in all this..."

   Todd puzzled: "What is involved in...?"

   Sutherland: "It's not the time to talk about this."

   Todd sighed and didn't intend to be entangled in this issue. He sat up from the recliner and said to Sutherland, "I have a question about the different races in the Presbyterian Church."

   Sutherland: "You want to ask, how would I treat them?"

   Todd stared into Sutherland's eyes and said, "You should know that you are a..."

Sutherland also sat up: "Necromancer, yes, I am a necromancer... So, you are worried, I will turn those who follow me into necromancers, and finally take them to occupy the whole world."

   Todd: "There are not a few people in the Presbyterian Church who want to do this."

   Sutherland smiled and nodded: "I admit, you are right, but I am not."

   Todd frowned and asked, "Then what do you want to do when you gather so many alien species to your side?"

   Before Sutherland could answer, Spria appeared in the courtyard again.

   She walked slowly towards Todd and asked again: "Guest from afar, what do you want to eat at night? I can prepare now."

   Looking at the hopeful expression on the woman's face, Todd swallowed back unconsciously when it came to his mouth.

   turned his head to look at Sutherland, the faint smile on the other's face made Todd laugh helplessly.

   "Chicken or fish can be used, it would be better if there is wine..."
