Alien Knights

Standing in the center of the institute's conference room, looking at the huge 3D projection in front of her, Meredith covered her mouth and let out a small exclamation.

"Todd, I know you have a secret, but I never thought it was such a secret..."

Todd, who took human form in the soul space, took out two cans of beer from the freezer, threw one to Meredith, and opened his own can.

Meredith followed suit by pulling off the beer ring, staring at the bubbles that kept pouring out of the beer, dazed for a long time, and finally said: "In this way, many things can be explained."

Todd sat on the office chair and asked, "What can be explained?"

"How did a small person with no roots and no roots build a powerful kingdom in just five years? How did he manufacture an epoch-making instrument like a microscope? And..."

Todd stretched out his hand and interrupted Meredith: "Let's get to the point, I want to ask about Jingsu."

Meredith carefully sat on the swivel chair, twisted her body, then kicked her feet, turned her body 360 degrees on the chair, and said with a smile: "As a person from another more advanced world, Shouldn't you know more about Jingsu than I do?"

"I'm disappointed, I don't know much about Jingsu than you."

"By the way! Tell me, what does your world look like?"

"As described in the scrolls, there are giant birds made of steel, tall buildings made of stone, iron carts moving fast and so on."

Meredith stood still, turned his gaze to Todd, and asked tentatively, "Do you think that the world that Muaiyed Patriarch arrived in is actually your world?"

Todd tightened his lips: "Maybe, maybe not. What I really care about is, what is the working principle and control method of the black giant tower?"

Meredith ignored Todd's question, but followed the topic of another world and asked: "I am very curious about one thing, if the black giant tower can really make people go to your world, you will go back forever Get out of here?"

Todd was silent for a while, and said blankly: "It's useless to discuss these now, I need to know the details of those scrolls."

Meredith took a sip of beer, frowned and put it down again, without further questioning: "Those scrolls are hidden in the underground of the Presbyterian Church, and they should be under the care of Elder Iliad now. I just A long time ago, I saw it a few times, and I can’t recount the specific content.”

Seeing Todd's eyes wide open in annoyance, Meredith smiled and said, "Don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet. Although I can't write down all the details, I have excerpted the symbols displayed on the crystal screen. And memorize some fragments, I can write it to you."

Todd pointed to the 3D projection in front of him: "In the soul space, you can project any memory to the center in the form of pictures and text."

Meredith followed suit, and a small piece of broken parchment immediately appeared on the 3D projection in the center of the conference room, with some incomplete and strange symbols appearing on the paper.

For the first character, there is a horizontal line above, a circle in the middle, and another horizontal line below.

The second character has a circle on the top and two horizontal lines on the bottom.

The third character has two circles on top and a horizontal line on the bottom.

Todd looked at these weird symbols and suddenly felt dizzy: "You mean, these symbols have all appeared in the room of the black giant tower?"

"That's right, it's the symbols that appeared on the crystal screen. Because the structure of these symbols is relatively simple, it's impossible for me to remember them wrong."

While Todd was looking at the symbols carefully, Meredith was also watching his expression. Later, the woman smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that you don't know the meaning of these symbols."

Todd frowned, looked at the picture for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "Although these symbols are simple in structure, among the characters I know, none of them match them."

Meredith fiddled with the crow feathers on her body, and her tone sounded a little disappointed: "At first, I thought you could decipher these symbols, but it seems impossible...Actually, if you want to understand those scrolls, you may have a A better candidate."

Meredith's words stunned Todd, who asked, "A better candidate? Who are you referring to?"

Meredith's expression was smiling, but her words were so cold that she couldn't feel any warmth: "Who else could it be, of course it's Rachel."

"Meredith, I know what you want to say... Rachel, she is indeed from the Presbyterian Church, and she is indeed a member of the Legion of Discord." Todd stared into Meredith's eyes and said firmly : "However, she who had the opportunity to abandon me, betray me, and seize the power of the kingdom, did not do so. Even during the time in the kingdom of shadows, she resolutely accompanied me regardless of the danger of her life. So, there is no need for her to test my bottom line with lies."

Meredith ignored the anger hidden in Todd's words, and said softly: "Todd, women... especially beautiful and intelligent women, have always been a kind of vengeful creature. They will bury their hatred in their hearts, Use every opportunity to complete your goal of revenge."

Todd's hands gripped the edge of the table tightly, and he almost squeezed out a sentence: "Do you have any evidence against Rachel's accusation?"

Meredith took her finger out of the black crow feather, put it between her eyebrows, and said calmly: "There is an ability in the soul link ability, which can forcibly read other people's memories and thoughts. You just need to tell Richie If you use this ability, you will naturally know the truth of the matter."

Todd lowered his face and said in a deep voice, "You should understand that I can't do that."

"If this is the case, then please bury this matter in your heart." Meredith shook her head helplessly: "No wonder there is a saying in my hometown that no matter how loving a couple is, they will have mutual affection. Some dark little secrets."

After saying this, she stood up and walked towards the door of the meeting room, when Todd's shout suddenly came from behind her.

"stop!"

Meredith turned her head slowly, and the lake blue eyes under the crow mask looked at the man in front of her, with some indescribable emotions in her.

Todd stared into the woman's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You are an ancient Tairo, another alien, and you are so familiar with the affairs of the Presbyterian Church... Tell me! Who are you?!"

Meredith sighed softly: "Who am I... Who am I? Names and identities have long been meaningless. I'm just a ghost who has lived for thousands of years but still can't get rid of the nightmare..."

Before the words fell, Meredith's figure disappeared at the door and left the soul space.

Looking at the empty doorway, Todd sat back on the chair in a daze, and fell into deep thought.
