Chapter 491: Escape

Eliad stood in front of Richer and said with emotion: "Years ago, you were just a child who caused trouble, and I always treated you as if you were my own daughter. However, a child is a child after all, and sooner or later he will leave his parents......"

Hearing the accusation in Eliade's words, Meredith rolled his eyes helplessly.

Ritchell looked quite moved by Eliad's words: "I never wanted to betray you, but I can't let go of everything in Twilight......"

Eliad touched his beard, shook his head, and said, "When you first met me, you tried your best to persuade me to join the Kingdom of Twilight. But actually, it's not the city of Dusk that you care about, do you, it's the king who stands tall. I'm afraid that the person who stole the notes also instructed you to do it...... Women, after all, they can't escape the shackles of feelings......"

A look of guilt and anguish appeared on Richel's face.

Others may have been fooled by Richel's expression, but Todd was definitely not one of them.

Looking at the woman's frightened appearance, Todd clearly understood that this was all an illusion she had pretended.

Eliad kindly stroked Richel's hair and said calmly, "What you don't know is that the notes you transcribed were of no use to the King of Twilight. Because, for thousands of years, except for the patriarch who accidentally entered the tower, no one has successfully solved that mystery. No matter how smart a person is, he can't crack those secrets. ”

Rachel nodded at Eliad, but out of the corner of her eye, she looked at Todd at the door.

The latter hurriedly waved his hand covertly, signaling her to keep quiet.

"Come with me, Richel, we have a long way to go to the Land of Shadows. Meredith threw out several black crow feathers, breaking the chains on her hands and feet.

Eliad turned his head to Meredith: "Then what you promised me......"

Meredith used her hand to fallow the falling dust: "Whether that person is still my father or not, I will not sit idly by and watch the Xenogeneous Society's decades of efforts be ruined. Besides, it's not necessarily a worse thing to build an army in my father's name than to keep a guy like Eleanor messing around. ”

Eliad nodded slightly: "I know you don't believe me, but resurrecting the Ancestor Sutherland is the only way for the alien race to continue." ”

Meredith didn't say anything more, but left the dungeon with Richer and Todd.

Along the way, Richer followed behind Todd and asked in a low voice, "Why did you come to save me?"

"As for your refusal to come back after you left, I'll settle accounts with you later. Todd tucked his hands into his sleeves and lowered his head: "The most important thing right now is to get out of here." ”

Meredith walked briskly out of the corridors of the palace, and said as she went, "As long as I can get to the flat ground outside, I can take you out of here, but only if you try not to run into that troublesome woman......"

"Isn't this a big man? ”

A coquettish and languid voice rang out on the steps, startling Meredith and Richer at the same time.

Meredith whispered in annoyance: "The person you don't want to see the most will appear at this time!"

Todd followed the sound and saw a graceful and beautiful woman standing on the high platform of the temple, looking at the group of three with a smile instead of a smile.

"It seems like we haven't seen each other in years, my lord...... If you don't say hello, why do you want to leave without saying hello?"

Eleanor lifted her feet and looked like she was about to walk down the stairs, but in the next second, her figure flickered and she actually teleported directly in front of the three of them.

Meredith looked at Eleanor's face, frowned and said, "Is it because you have been negligent in maintenance recently, why do I think there are more and more wrinkles on your face?"

In the face of Meredith's taunt, Eleanor showed no signs of anger, but smiled and said: "I am different from you, you have been protected by the Queen of Shadows for thousands of years, so you can stay young forever, while I can only grow old in the devastation of the wind and sand. ”

When it came to the word eternal youth, Eleanor looked at Meredith like a hungry wolf, and the whole person took a small step forward.

Meredith's whole body tensed, pinched two crow feathers in his hands, and whispered behind him, "You two go first!"

Eleanor took another step forward and said with a smile on her lips: "That's not good, I've been looking for my little puppet Richel these days, and I finally saw her, how could I let her slip away again?"

Todra grabbed Richel's sleeve and held her behind him.

Eleanor looked at Todd, who was covered by the black robe, for a moment, then narrowed her eyes slightly, as if remembering something, and finally said slowly: "You feel familiar to me, I seem to have seen you somewhere......?

Meredith's hands evolved into two huge black wings, blinding and powerful currents that weaved back and forth between the feathers, causing a fierce burst of sparks to flash in the air.

"I haven't seen you for so long, and your temper is still the same as before, and you can't hold your breath. Eleanor palms down, the sand on the ground slowly rising, condensing into a spherical shield around her body.

Todd also extended his hands out of his sleeves and began to urge the force, preparing to transform into dragon form.

At this moment, Eliad came out of the end of the corridor, stood beside Meredith, and said, "As brothers and sisters born of the same root, are you not afraid of defiling this holy place by attacking each other here?!"

Eleanor glanced at Eliad, then at the masked servants who followed behind him, lowered his hand with a smile, shook his head and said, "Everything is as Elder Eliad said, in the temple of the Council of Elders, nothing can be used by force, and the xenomorphs should unite, not fight......"

Meredith exchanged a look with Eliade, then turned back to Todd and said, "You take Richer and leave here first." ”

"And what do you do?"

"I intend to stay here for a while, partly to fulfill my promise to Eliad, and partly to keep an eye on Eleanor. ”

Seeing Todd's hesitant expression, Meredith said with a smile: "I have lived for more than a thousand years, and I dare not say anything else, but I still have the ability to escape." So, don't worry about me, get out of here as soon as possible. ”

After much thought, Todd nodded to Meredith, took Richel's hand, and walked briskly out of the Presbyterian Temple.

Eleanor looked at the backs of the two of them, a smile on the corner of her mouth.
