Chapter 496: An Unexpected Meeting

"You mean Myris?!"

Todd, who reacted, got up from his chair and raised his voice by three points.

Seeing Todd's appearance, Richer sighed faintly: "The people of the Xenomorph Association found their presence at the back door of the Governor's Palace......"

Todd remembered the kind old monk and the bits and pieces of the convent, and his whole body seemed to be in a state of flux, motionless.

Rachel approached him and whispered, "I must warn you that the laryngeal bone is a very dangerous and crazy person, and Myris, who walked with him, must have been affected as well. ”

Todd turned to Raicel and asked, "You're saying that Myris has become dangerous and unpredictable?"

"Over the years, it has been rumored that the larynx has been doing some 'dirty work' under Saladin's hands, which no one is willing to do. For example, help the empire eliminate rebels, clean up the old aristocratic forces, and so on. Since Myris was with him, he was naturally involved. ”

Todd asked curiously, "But the question is, how did Myris get together with him? ”

"I don't know why. "In the past, the Council of Elders used to send people to infiltrate the barracks of the throat bone, hoping to find some information, but none of the people sent there returned. ”

Todd picked up the robe from his chair, dressed himself neatly, lowered his hood, and said to Richel, "Tell me where the Doge's Palace is?" ”

Richer looked at him worriedly, "I'll go with you." ”

"No, you protect those ancient notes here, and I promise you, I won't do anything. ”

After saying this, Todd used the ability of "transformation" to transform himself into another look, and even his voice was very different from usual.

Rachel took out a map from his sleeve, pointed out the location of Todd's target, and finally admonished: "Remember! If anything happens, you must leave the city immediately, and you don't need to worry about me, I will naturally have a way to leave safely." ”

Todd pressed the brim of his hat, nodded to Rachel, and left the tavern.

Walking down the streets of Anuda, Todd followed the map given to him by Richer in the direction of the Port Doge's Palace.

The closer you are to the target, the more guards you will have along the way.

When they arrived at the gate of the Governor's Palace, hundreds of Imperial Guards surrounded the entire mansion, and every pedestrian who passed by was repeatedly interrogated and searched.

Todd took a few glances from afar, and when he realized that the defenses were too tight, he immediately gave up the idea of sneaking in, intending to return to the tavern the same way he came.

Just then, an old voice sounded behind Todd: "You shouldn't be here. ”

Todd turned, and Myris's familiar face appeared in front of him.

It's just that compared to the past, the old man has lost his shape, and his face is as withered as a skeleton. The most frightening thing is that one of his eyes has turned snow-white.

Todd was ready to attack at any moment, and tried to ask, "Do you know me?"

Myris touched the top of Todd's head and suddenly smiled, "My ability allows me to see the color of my soul, and yours is the brightest of all...... Todd Fischer. ”

Todd turned into a dragon in one hand in his sleeve, and the other shook in front of Myris's eyes, "Your eyes?"

"How ironic, I have healed your eyes with these hands. But God, in order to punish my sins, deprived me of my sight and forced me to face the ugliest thing in the world. ”

Recalling the scene in the monastery, when Master Myris healed his eyes, Todd's voice became hoarse: "Master Myris, come with me, let's go home, there are many people waiting for you...... Karin, Edgar, Jerry Jer......"

Myris shook his head: "Todd, I have fallen into an accomplice of the devil, and I have lost the gift of God forever, so don't let my footprints defile that sacred land." This is a land of right and wrong, and you should leave as soon as possible. ”

Todd whispered, "You were my first teacher, and without you, I wouldn't have even had a chance to live...... No matter what you become, God's doors will always be open to you......"

A look of emotion and guilt appeared on Myris's face, and he opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out.

At this moment, one of the chief of the Imperial Guard walked up to Myris and said, "Sir, the caliph is looking for you. ”

When he walked up to Myris, he immediately looked at Todd suspiciously, and asked, "I am very angry with this person, who is he?"

Myris quietly tugged at the corner of Latode's coat and motioned him not to speak: "He is a scholar from the north and a friend of mine, and he has come to me this time to discuss academics. But alas, he's going back......"

"A scholar from the north?" the chief of the guard stared at Todd and said with a smile, "That's just right, the caliph is trying to discuss scholarship with you, and I don't think His Majesty the Emperor will mind if there is one more person." ”

Myris was about to say something more, when the chief of the guard called out to the soldiers, motioning for Myris and Todd to go in as soon as possible.

Walking in the garden of the Doge's Palace, Myris leaned close to Todd and whispered: "When you meet the emperor of the empire, you don't need to be too restrained, but don't be too casual, Saladin has always been very tolerant of scholars' words and deeds, but this does not mean that his patience has no bottom line." ”

At this time, Todd couldn't cry or laugh, his original plan was to find Myris, but he didn't expect to meet his biggest enemy, Saladin.

The legendary Great Emperor, the invincible God of War, the Caliph who was both famous and infamous.

Thinking of this, Todd suddenly realized that in his heart, he was actually very eager to meet Saladin.

Walking through a corridor full of soldiers, Todd walked into a room full of bookshelves and desks, and finally saw Saladin's true face.

This middle-aged man who is not angry and arrogant, has a handsome face that makes people feel good, he does not look like a general or an emperor at all, but more like an elder who has been immersed in academia for many years.

But to Todd's surprise, Saladin's face didn't seem to be very good, and his body looked a little weak due to the hidden disease.

"Myris, you're here. Saladin looked away from the book and said in a pleasant tone.

When he saw Todd, his expression was visibly frozen, but he quickly returned to normal.

"It's rare to have a guest today, Myris, aren't you going to introduce me to it?"

Myris glanced at Todd, took out the lines that had been prepared in advance, and said slowly: "The great caliph, this is a scholar from the north and a dear friend of mine, his name is Toltai. ”

Saladin clapped his hands and smiled and said, "As long as you are in the land of Allah and drink the elixir given by Allah, then you are my Saladin's honored guest." ”

Listening to the two constantly talking in imperial Chinese, Todd, who did not understand at all, could only smile politely.

To Todd's surprise, Saladin quickly used the lingua franca of words and said to him, "Toltai, with all due respect, you don't look like a scholar. ”
