Alien Knights

Todd eventually recruited 55 monks in the monastery, most of whom were young people from poor backgrounds. Different from those old monks, they look forward to life in the outside world, and they firmly believe in Todd's "Deeds of the Son".

After choosing 50 books on the basics of grammar, arithmetic, and geometry in the monastery library, Todd returned to Muxi Town with 55 monks. Before entering the town, I saw a "long dragon" composed of carriages waiting at the entrance of the town.

Huggins, who was in charge of maintaining order, saw Todd's team and hurried over from a distance. Seeing the latter focus on the convoy, he explained directly: "Master Chief, the second season of "Gospel Flowers" by the farmers in Muxi Town has already started selling, and the carriages are filled with merchants from other towns who came to purchase."

Todd nodded, and then turned his head to look to the southeast, where the alien refugees brought by Rachel were housed. After roughly counting the people working there, he frowned and asked Huggins, "Have you noticed that there seem to be more people over there than before?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Huggins approached Todd, and whispered, "My lord, during the time you went to the monastery, some alien species were brought in there..."

Rubbing the bridge of his nose vigorously, Todd shook his head and led the monks into Muxi Town. After ordering Huggins to protect all the books and arrange board and lodging for these people, he went directly to old Aiden's workshop.

This workshop made of bricks and stones has been listed by Todd as a restricted access area. Four of Huggins' subordinates guarded the corner of the workshop, forbidding anyone to approach.

Walking into the hot and stuffy workshop, there was a huge crashing sound accompanied by a roiling heat wave.

Leslie's fiery hands sprayed out red flames, burning the stencils in the block holders dazzlingly. Rachel stretched her hands forward, her forehead was covered with sweat, and using the ability of "mind force", she lifted the high-temperature softened block mold table into the air, aimed it at the bearing table of the printing machine, and carefully changed its shape and size.

Aiden Kom wore gloves on both hands. While comparing the card slot and the mold, he placed the copper ruler next to the high-temperature mold, and said in his mouth: "Short the upper side by five millimeters, and pay attention to the straight line of the ruler."

Rachel slowly embedded the trough into the load-bearing platform. The craftsmen repeatedly checked the proportions and gaps between the parts, and finally let out a long breath, and made a successful gesture to Leslie and Rachel.

The nun dropped her arms and sat down on the ground, panting heavily, sweat stains on her chest and back.

At this moment, the whole family finally found Todd at the door.

"My lord." Aiden wiped his sweat with a rough cloth, and walked in front of the priest.

Todd looked at the half-assembled printing machine in the workshop, and exclaimed in admiration: "This is already the third one."

Aiden nodded: "That's right, the first one took a detour and took a little longer, but the latter two are much easier."

"That's you! I'm so tired that I'm about to lie down!" Leslie said, shaking his hot palms and sticking out his tongue, "I want to eat and I want to sleep!"

Todd patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, you can rest now. These three printing presses are enough for Muxi Town."

After saying this, Todd looked at Rachel again, whose eyes met his. It's just that the woman didn't say anything, but the smile on her face made Todd's heart tremble.

Aiden and the other two craftsmen looked at the printing machine that had just been equipped with block molds, and they were full of praise. They looked at the boy and the nun with envious eyes: "The ability of alien species is really convenient. If the craftsmen have these abilities, why do they need iron drills and hammers?"

Leslie took a sip of water: "You only see the convenience of different abilities, but you don't expect that I will be awakened several times by the pain of burning my body in the middle of the night every night, and every time I use the ability, I need to rest for a long time."

When Todd heard this, he immediately thought of the poison caused by Huggins' "weakness" ability, and the nerve atrophy caused by Edgar's "speed" ability. It seems that without the help of the Sutherland bacteria, no matter what kind of alien species it is, it will be negatively affected by the ability.

Thinking of this, Todd suddenly thought of Rachel. Uncharacteristically, the woman sat on the ground from just now, folded her arms and said nothing.

Todd walked in front of Rachel, squatted down, and lifted the other's sleeves. Blood vessels swelled like lightning, all over the woman's arms.

He lightly touched the other person's skin, and Rachel withdrew her hands in pain as if she had been electrocuted.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Todd lowered his volume and said to the woman. Rachel's face was pale, unable to speak a word, she could only shake her head to show that she was fine.

Pulling up the other party's sleeves again, Todd helped her up calmly, leaving the others behind, and the two walked out of the workshop.

"Honestly, Rachel, I don't understand you a little bit." Todd supported the woman's elbow with his arms, his upper body leaned outward, and his eyes aimed at the distant scenery.

The weak Rachel passed through Todd's arm with one hand, and grabbed his upper arm with the other hand, looking like a woman in love, snuggling up to her lover.

"Me too."

Hearing Rachel's words, Todd turned his head around and looked at her in surprise.

The woman raised her head and looked directly at each other.

The two suddenly laughed at the same time.

———————————

The Interpretation Hall of the Muxi Town Church.

Todd sat at the desk, flipping through the stack of books in front of him.

"Basic Algorithm"

"Tarot Counting Master Rules"

"Text Recognition"

"Common Language Pronunciation"...

Glancing at Huggins and Rachel in front of him, Todd asked, "Have the monks made arrangements?"

Huggins nodded and said, "It's all arranged, and the monks are very satisfied with the accommodation conditions."

Todd selected a few basic books and handed them to the man: "Print twenty copies of each of these books. Also, during this time, find someone to pay attention to the words and deeds of the monks."

Hudgens took the book, scratched his head, and seemed hesitant to speak.

Seeing the other party's expression, Todd asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

The man looked at Rachel with some scruples, and said in a low voice, "Recently, there are people in the town who are discussing the matter of alien species."

Todd sat up straight with a serious expression: "What's going on? Is it the news leaked by the artisans?"

"I'm afraid not. We stared at those three craftsmen day and night. They never said anything about alien species to others, even their family members."

Todd and Rachel looked at each other: "What's going on?"

"A few days ago, someone seemed to have accidentally seen that some of the refugees in the southeast of the town had used their abilities."

Hearing this, Todd leaned his body against the back of the chair and let out a long sigh.

Rachel frowned, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Maybe I can warn them one more time, so that they must never use alien abilities?"

"This approach is a temporary solution, not the root cause. Sooner or later, they will still be discovered." Todd touched the bridge of his nose and fell into deep thought: "If there is any way to make the people in Muxi Town accept the existence of alien species..."

Huggins tilted his head, pondered for a while and said, "My lord, maybe you can conduct a crusade to openly push the heterogeneous race in front of everyone. With your prestige and people's beliefs, you can overthrow the absurd claim that the heterogeneous is a 'devil's posthumous child'."

"no!"

This time Todd and Rachel objected simultaneously.

The two looked at each other, and Rachel spoke first: "Exposing the alien species to everyone's eyes will only increase people's fear and anxiety. Think about it, living around you is a group of guys who can shoot flames with their hands and see through the walls of your house. What would you think?"

Todd pondered for a while, then picked up the topic and continued: "There are indeed many people in Muxi Town who believe in me, but not all of them. In addition, recently, many new residents have joined Muxi Town. If you choose to disclose the news of the alien race at this time, as long as there is a resident with a bad intention, go to the Inquisition to report. At that time, all alien races will be in a huge crisis."

Huggins was completely at a loss. He spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Then what should we do? Is it possible that the alien species can only hide their identities and never see the light?"

Rachel also looked very distressed. In her opinion, it is extremely difficult, even impossible, to overthrow the church's evil definition of aliens and people's deep-rooted prejudices against aliens while ensuring the absolute safety of aliens.

Todd sat at the table, looking at the book in front of him, his eyes slowly lost focus, and he said some words unconsciously.

Huggins and Rachel saw the abnormality of the chief commander, moved closer to him, and finally heard the syllables in Todd's mouth that were vague and meaningless.

"Marvel" (Chinese)

"Justice League" (Chinese)

Just when the man and woman were at a loss, Todd suddenly raised his head, blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "If we can't expose all the alien species to the sun, what if we only expose one person?"

Rachel became more and more confused: "Is there a difference?"

Todd tapped the cover of the book with his knuckles: "What if this alien species exposed to the eyes of the public has a kind heart, hates evil like a vengeful, and possesses unique skills, making him invincible?"

Rachel opened her mouth slightly, her face full of disbelief, she understood Todd's shocking idea a little bit.

Huggins still looked puzzled: "What does exposing this person have to do with letting the residents of the town accept the alien species?"

Todd laughed, and said to Rachel: "I need a list of all the aliens, including names, ages, biographical information, character, word of mouth, and alien abilities."

After listening for a long time, Huggins, who still had no way out, was a little anxious: "My lord, what exactly is this going to do?"

Todd drew an "S" figure on the table with a charcoal pencil, and said word by word: "I plan to create a super alien hero..."
