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

Before Todd's words fell, the sudden words made the three people in the room stunned: "I remember telling you that you should use as little soul power as possible during this time. ”

Todd turned to look up the stairs.

Meredith sat on the wooden steps, combing the crow feathers from his coat.

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

Meredith looked at Todd and spoke again, "I told you that during the period of recuperation, try to use as little soul power as possible, which will delay the healing time of your wounds......"

Evie took a small step forward without leaving a trace, assumed a defensive posture, and asked in a low voice, "When did you get here?"

Meredith walked down the stairs and didn't answer Evie's question, but walked up to Todd with a smile: "There's something you may not know. Just yesterday...... Concierber, king of Ulster, is dead. ”

"Wait!Concierber is dead?!" Todd's eyes widened, "How did he die?!"

Meredith pressed his index finger to his chin: "Let me think about it, it's as if he had his heart pulled out of his chest alive......"

Todd frowned, and said again, "You should know, it's not this that I want to ask, who is the murderer?"

Meredith shrugged: "Cú Chulainn." ”

Hearing this unexpected name, Evie unconsciously raised her voice: "Cú Chulainn?!Isn't he a hero loyal to the Kingdom of Ulster?Why would he kill the object of his allegiance?"

Meredith shook his head and said, "You are mistaken, Cú Chulainn's allegiance is to Ulster, not to Concierber. When the king's actions displeased him, according to his present nature, it was only natural for him to go on a killing spree. ”

Evie asked, "If he killed the king like this, will the Ulsters let him go?"

Todd spoke at this time: "Due to the gladiatorial fight and the matter of Fiocha, the nobles of the Ulster Kingdom have long been disappointed in the king, and with the help of a 'hero' to get rid of a mediocre king, these people must have played a role in the back. ”

Meredith smiled and nodded: "That's right, half of the responsibility for this rebellion should belong to the nobles of Ulster." They thought that getting rid of the faint king would give Ulster hope, but ......"

Dildre, who was hiding behind Evie, poked her head out and asked, "But?"

"However, killing a mad dog attracts a monster. ”

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

"Get out of control?" Meredith shook his head at Todd slightly, "You see the bestiality in Cúchulainn's body too simply......"

Looking at the puzzled faces of the three people in front of him, Meredith stretched out his palm and beckoned to Todd: "Do you have time? I would like to ask you some questions on this occasion." ”

Evie immediately asked alertly, "What do you want to ask?"

Todd, who smiled bitterly, waved his hand at Evie: "Don't be too nervous, if Meredith really planned 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 up to the second floor.

The latter came to a table, looked at the Dead Silent Spear hanging from the wall and wrapped in sackcloth, and asked softly, "Todd, what do you think of power?"

What do you think about power?

Such a strange question made Todd stunned.

"Strength, in my opinion, may be a tool used to achieve ideals and ambitions. Todd thought and said, "With it, you won't watch your loved ones lose their ......."

Meredith's eyes softened a little imperceptibly when he looked at Todd: "You are really gentle, but when you talk about the power in your body, you are using such lame reasons......"

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

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

Meredith's tongue twister-like answer made Todd frown: "What do you mean by me?"

Meredith rubbed her finger against the crow feather: "Strength is poison for humans......"

"Poison?"

"In the beginning, most of the people who aspired to power were not outright evil, they had some kind of noble sentiments. ”

"But as time went on, whether it was the powerful monarchs or the mighty heroes, as they became more and more powerful, the things they thought about slowly became one word—more. ”

"More territory, more troops, more capabilities, more companions...... Ideals, beliefs, honors, and wisdom have long since deepened with the poison of power, and finally fell into an endless abyss. ”

Meredith's eyes lost focus: "I have seen an ancient sage who was also fighting for the well-being of his kind, but after coming into contact with the tyrant...... The power has made him completely lose himself......"

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

Meredith looked up at Todd, "Do you know why I advised you to abandon the path of tyrant in the first place? ”

Meredith stood up, looked at Todd and said slowly: "Our essence is human, no matter how our appearance changes, how our abilities increase, the fact that our hearts are constantly oscillating between human and animal nature can never be erased. ”

Todd looked at the lonely crowfeather woman and wanted to speak, but he didn't know where to start.

Meredith smiled slightly: "What I said today may seem more like a diseaseless moan to you. But, soon, there will be a vivid example before your eyes. ”

"Cú Chulainn killed Concierber, and what will happen next, whether human or animal, will ultimately dominate everything. Todd, I want you to take a good look and think about it. ”

Meredith pushed the door open, turned her head, and threw Todd one last word: "Remember my word, Tyrant...... In fact, it does not alienate us from human nature, it only magnifies our animal nature. ”
