Chapter 453: Following the Footsteps of the Gods
Taking the "Dead Silence" from Meredith's hand, Todd suddenly had an illusion the moment he touched the body of the gun - the weapon in his hand did not seem to be a dead thing, as if there was a special life inside.
Looking up at Meredith, Todd asked, "About my wounds, and this spear......"
The former shrugged his shoulders and said, "According to my master, this spear will not only harm a person's body, but also the soul. Therefore, if you want to repair the wound, ordinary material means may not be useful, you can try the power of the soul. β
When Todd heard this, he began to try to use the dark energy in his body to gather them on the wound on his back. Although the wound has not recovered quickly, the original pain is slowly subsiding, and the feeling of weakness has been relieved to a certain extent.
Seeing Todd's face gradually relax, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
Meredith found a chair and sat down, picked up an apple from the fruit bowl as if no one was around, wiped it on his clothes, and said as he bit it, "This wound on your body will take some time to repair." During this time, apart from repairing your body, I recommend that you be less active, especially to minimize the use of soul power. β
Re-wrapping the Silent Spear in linen, Todd, supported by Dildri, got out of bed, put on his coat, and said to Meredith sincerely, "I owe you a favor. β
Meredith smiled and said, "As the king of the two kingdoms, you owe me more than this, if you really count it, it is enough for me to have enough food and clothing for the rest of my life." β
Todd laughed dumbly.
Meredith glanced at the view outside the window: "I like it here, I plan to stay for a while." β
Evie looked up at Meredith, opened her round eyes and said, "What did you say?!"
Looking at the Valkyrie's surprised appearance, Meredith shook half an apple in his hand: "Don't worry, I won't disturb the patient's recuperation." β
Deirdre stood behind Todd and whispered, "At the temple not far away, there is a longhouse for the faithful. β
Looking at this beautiful woman who blushed from time to time, Meredith smiled and teased, "Are you worried about your private life at night? I can assure you that I sleep very deeply." β
Of those present, perhaps only Todd truly understood Meredith's painstaking efforts. She was worried that CΓΊ Chulainn would come to attack her when she was injured, so she deliberately stayed as a guard.
"There is also an attic above the second floor, although there are a lot of clutter, but it is still a good place to live after cleaning. β
Todd's words surprised everyone.
Meredith looked up at the ceiling, stood up with a smile, poured all the food in the entire fruit bowl into the feather cloak, nodded to the people present, and said, "In that case, then I don't have to be polite." I've been on the road for days and haven't closed my eyes, and now I need to catch up on sleep. β
"If it's nothing, don't bother me...... Oh, by the way, except for eating. β
With that, Meredith swaggered out of the bedroom.
Evie turned to look at Todd, a look of complete shock and disbelief on her face.
Todd smiled and waved his hand, signaling that she didn't care.

The Supuha Mountains, the shrine of the Mother Goddess.
Eleanor leaned back on the chaise longue, looked lazily at the garden outside the window, and asked, "How is it, have you found out?"
Looking at the large pile of paperwork in front of him, Garcia rubbed his temples with a headache: "According to the information provided by the sect members, the dragon seems to have appeared out of thin air and disappeared out of thin air!"
Eleanor rested her chin on her arm and flicked the buds in the vase with her long, delicate fingers: "I thought that the so-called old gods had already abandoned this world and left their people to fend for themselves...... But does the appearance of a dragon mean that they are still watching us?"
Garcia frowned and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Your chief, the Grand Master who has never revealed his identity, rarely interferes in the affairs of the Presbyterian Church. And you, Garcia, as the deputy head of the Discord Legion, have long since seized the power of the entire Legion. Eleanor looked at the man in front of her and said, "What are you doing when you are completely capable of controlling the entire Divine Cult, but you choose to obey me?"
Garcia closed his eyes and shook his head slightly: "You know the reason. β
Eleanor put her hand on Garcia's chest and quietly felt the solid heartbeat of the other party: "If the gods really exist, my wish is to break free from the shackles of this body and become a true god." What I want to ask is, would you like to embark on this path with me?"
Garcia pulled Eleanor into his arms and answered the woman in his arms with a silent hug as an answer.
Eleanor rested her head on Garcia's heart and whispered, "We need to do two things to get this through. β
Garcia hummed softly.
"The first thing is to defend the Cult. The Cult of God is our solid backing and the most reliable force in our hands, yet it has always been under the threat of the Empire. Therefore, the key to strengthening the Cult of God lies in how to find a balance between the forces of the world. Eleanor said slowly, "Only when this world is in constant war and chaos can the Divine Cult get a chance to develop...... So, who are our worst enemies, you should know?"
Garcia said calmly, "Saladin. β
"That's right, with his political and military means, he has taken control of the whole south. If this continues, it is only a matter of time before the conquest of the north continues. Although, in this battle in Lone Rock City, the dragon caused him to lose a lot of troops, but after all, it did not shake his foundation. The most troublesome thing is that he has begun to become wary of the Cult, squeezing our territory, capturing our followers, and weakening our influence, and Saladin has already listed us as his enemies......"
Garcia nodded in agreement with Eleanor: "We have no chance of winning against him head-on, we have to find another way." β
The latter smiled and said, "The Ayyubid Empire is Saladin's empire, but without Saladin, this empire is nothing more than a palace built on quicksand. β
Garcia gradually understood the other party's thoughts: "You want to ...... the emperor"
"If there is the quickest and most straightforward way to solve a problem, then complex planning and redundant actions can become cumbersome. Eleanor sat up straight, her eyes shining like stars, "Protect everything in the Cult of God, and we will have a chance to accomplish another thing - find the dragon." Only by finding that dragon can we find our way to the realm of the gods and become gods. β
Garcia looked at these charming eyes, and a look of intoxication appeared on his face: "However, we don't have any clues about this dragon. β
Eleanor covered her mouth with her hand and laughed softly.
"Have you forgotten that there's a living clue right now under our noses. β
"What?"
"That little puppet of mine - Richel. β
