"I've always felt that your purpose in returning to the Presbyterian Church is not as simple as you say. ”

Sabrina, who was sitting on the windowsill with her legs crossed, threw the dagger in her hand, looked at Reichell, who was busy in the room, and asked suspiciously.

Rachel opened the old book in front of him, and while carefully reading the words in it, he said, "Tell me, how did Claurence, when he was with you, endure your suspicions and verbosity?"

"That fool who likes to watch plays?" Sabrina sighed slightly, and said in a nostalgic tone, "That guy is indeed very bad, but I have to admit that as long as you find out his temper, he is actually a very good person...... Unlike you, you always give me the feeling that you're tempting to jump into the pit......"

After flipping through the ancient book in his hand, Rachel threw it into the pile of books at his feet, picked up another book from the desk, and began to check it.

"Sabrina, you and I both have the same purpose, isn't that enough?" Richer drew something quickly with her pen as she compared the graphics on her notes, "After achieving your goal, you and I will eventually be free." ”

Sabrina jumped off the ledge and looked closer, where Reicelle's notes were filled with incomprehensible symbols and figures.

"What are these?"

Rachel closed the note and asked Sabrina, "Do you believe in God?"

Sabrina took a few steps back and said in a deep voice, "Your question and tone make me feel uncomfortable. ”

"I don't believe it. Rachel patted the cover of his notebook and said coldly: "I only believe that everything that exists has a reasonable explanation." ”

"I don't understand anymore, what the hell are you trying to say?"

Rachel didn't answer the question, stood up, and walked out.

Sabrina hurriedly followed: "Where are you going?!"

Rachel opened the door slightly, pointed to the two masked servants standing in the doorway, and said to Sabrina, "Do you have a way to deal with them?"

The latter's eyes widened and he said, "Deal with them?!Do you know what you're talking about? These two men were sent by the Eliade to protect us!"

"Protection, but also surveillance. Rachel closed the door again, turned back and said, "It seems that even though I have spoken to Eliad, I have not relieved him of his guard. ”

Sabrina covered her forehead and shook her figure, "Richel, you've completely confused me! Isn't the purpose of your coming here to win over Elder Eliad, to help Twilight, and get rid of Eleanor?"

"Part of the reason," said Rachel, as she walked to the inner bedroom. ”

Seeing Richer on her knees, groping for something under the edge of the bed, Sabrina asked, "What did you mean by that?"

Rachel looked up and said to Sabrina, "When Mia and I were kids, our favorite thing to do was hide and seek. During the game, we explored every nook and cranny of this ancient palace. There are mechanisms and tunnels that have existed for millennia, but no one knows about them......"

Richel's right hand jerked upward, and a dull click came from underground.

With a cacophony of rubbing, the stone slabs under the bed slowly parted to the sides, eventually revealing a stone staircase hidden in the darkness.

Sabrina's scalp tingled and asked, "You always knew there was a secret passage under the bed, and ...... was this?"

Rachel took out the torch he had prepared, got under the bed, and climbed a few steps down the stairs.

After a while, she turned around, put her head out of the ground, and said to Sabrina, "This secret passage leads to the Elders' greatest secret, and it is enough to destroy Eleanor completely...... So, would you like to come with me?"

Sabrina looked at the dark hole and said to herself depressedly: "Sometimes, I really hate this crow mouth of mine, knowing that this is a pit, but I can't control my legs......"

Sabrina hesitated, and finally resigned herself to her fate, and climbed into the secret passage with Richer as usual.

A dark, damp passage that leads underground. The stone staircase is at an angle of 45 degrees, and the ladder surface is narrow, so you can only land sideways.

Rachel held a torch and walked down the ladder in front of her.

Sabrina cautiously followed behind her, listening to the sound of the wind passing by her ears, and couldn't help but say, "I've lived in the Council of Elders for hundreds of years, and I didn't even know that there was such a secret passage. ”

"Don't say it's you, I'm afraid even the previous elders don't know the existence of these pathways. "According to my guess, these traps and secret passages may have been built before the Xeno-Purge began. ”

Sabrina paused: "Do you know what you're talking about? At that time, the alien race was still living peacefully in the Taylor Empire, and the so-called Great Purge was still in the minds of some people!"

Rachel asked softly in a flat tone, "What if the xenos had known about this purge plan a long time ago?"

Sabrina shook her head in disbelief and said, "I already knew?!How is this possible?"

"I've checked the sentencing records of the ancient Taylor period, and in the first three years of the Xenophora purge, the Taylor Senate sentenced 4,500 prisoners to exile, an unusual number far higher than the average for previous years. ”

"So, you suspect that the xenomorph leaders in the council were secretly transferring xenos out in the name of exile before the purge?"

Rachel shook her torch and motioned for Sabrina to look around: "Look at how much manpower and how much time it takes to complete these huge projects. Perhaps, the leaders of the alien species are more intelligent than we think. They use their abilities to monitor the actions of those in power, and have been secretly preparing possible countermeasures on the premise that things are going for the worst. ”

Sabrina looked around and suddenly remembered something: "Wait a minute, then you didn't come back to the Council of Elders to enlist Elder Eliade's support at all?! You knew from beginning to end that the old man would not agree to help Twilight! You went to see him so many times, and told him what a wonderful paradise Twilight City was, and what a sage and monarch the Twilight Sage King was, but you were just paralyzing his guard?"

"That's right, Eliad won't help Twilight, I know that. But it wasn't a bad thing for him and me to know that there was such a paradise in this world. Rachel glanced back at Sabrina, "I'm more concerned about what he's doing." ”

Sabrina furrowed her brows: "What are you doing...... Things?"

Rachel turned back and whispered, "Come with me, and you'll soon know." ”

Sabrina wanted to ask something more, but found that Rachel had quickened her pace and stopped talking.

Looking at the back of the woman in front of her, Sabrina pursed her lips and said in a voice that only she could hear.

"There's one thing that Lawrence says is true, you really resemble Eleanor when it comes to being good at lying......
