Alien Knights

　　 Hudgens temporarily left Muxi Town.

　　 He walked in such a hurry that he didn't even leave a word.

　　 When parting, Todd did not ask or stop him. He clearly knew where the man was going and what he was going to do.

　　 A cruel lie told a few years ago, I had to explain it; a long unhealed scar needs to be repaired with heart.

　　 The priest stood at the entrance of the town, watching the man go further and further, he sighed and planned to turn back, but he saw Alfonso Decavo standing not far away.

　　 The knight’s iron mask obscured his face, and his expression was not visible. But from the look in his eyes, Todd could guess that the other party was seeking an explanation from himself.

　　 "Did Huggins tell you that he is a different species?"

Alfonso nodded: "As early as when we were all knight apprentices, as a friend, he told me about it, but I didn't believe that he was the "devil's posthumous child" in the church's mouth, so I promised him. Keep it secret."

　　 Todd asked again: "Then do you know that when he left his wives and daughters in the form of "feign death", he was worried that alien abilities would harm them?"

The knight nodded again: "He also told me about this a few months ago. But in fact, before his "fake death", I had heard some rumors that someone secretly reported his alien identity to the church...I see In the palm of his hand, did you liberate him from the curse of the alien species?"

　　 Todd was stunned, thinking for a moment, and then said to the knight: "I have turned him into the "heir"..."

　　 Before the voice fell, a sword light flashed.

　　 Alfonso’s great sword stayed on the priest’s chest.

　　 Todd's eyelids didn't blink. His next sentence stunned the originally angry knight, and the weapon in his hand slowly dropped to the ground.

　　 "I found a way to prevent the "inheritor" from changing."

　　 Alfonso shook his head in disbelief, raised his sword again, his tone was full of suspicion: "A problem that no one has solved for hundreds of years. Tell me, do you have a way to solve it?!"

　　 "There was another person before me who prevented the "heir" from changing. That person was the alchemist Sutherland, but I summarized and improved the plan based on him."

Seeing that the priest’s expression did not seem to be false, the knight put away the big sword, turned around, and turned around and said: "I will believe everything you said for the first time. I will continue to stay here and watch it all. If you say Is true..."

　　 Todd's next sentence caused Alfonso's raised steps to be put down again, and his body turned stiffly back.

　　『Master Decavo, have you ever thought of taking off those keels under the armor? 』

　　——————————————

　　 On the way back to the laboratory, Todd has a new research goal in his mind.

　　 The parasites on Alfonso's body, one female and one male, are really excellent combat armor. The hardness is similar to steel, and the ductility is similar to a spring. It can enhance the human body's strength, agility and jumping ability like a metal exoskeleton, and the surface of the parasite also has the ability to insulate heat and absorb flames.

　　 If you can take off the knight’s "parasite armor" and study it carefully, you may find major discoveries in terms of protective materials.

　　 But first, we still have to design a plan to get rid of the parasite...

　　 Todd, who was walking on the road thinking, suddenly heard loud voices in his ears. When he looked up, he was startled by the scene in front of him.

　　 A large group of residents gathered at the door of the church, clamoring for something.

　　 The deacon who is in charge of the daily affairs of the church, loudly maintains order, but it seems that the effect is not good.

　　 The appearance of the priest made these people feel excited. Todd stepped forward and asked in detail, this group of people originally wanted to change the ownership of the sacred bones, but the registered price made him frightened.

　　 The price of a sacred bone is now only 70 bronze stars, and some people are even willing to sell it at 60 bronze stars. It was only four weeks before the end of the "tea party", and the price of the sacred bones actually dropped by one-third.

　　 realized the development of the matter and began to deviate from the normal trajectory. In order to maintain the stability of the price of the sacred bones, Todd had to explain to everyone in the chapel once again, the operation method and profit time of the "Twilight Mutual Aid". It's a pity that these people in front of them couldn't listen at all, and they all clamored for a deal.

　　 In desperation, the priest had to re-register the group of people in front of him.

　　 sent away the last pair of traders whose ownership of the sacred bones changed, and the sun had already set on the western horizon.

　　 Todd put down the pen in his hand, looked at the new batch of changes in the record book, buried his face in his hands in frustration, and sighed deeply.

Originally, he thought that with his reputation and religious influence, this "Mutual Aid" should go well this time, but he didn't expect it to be less than a month, and people's suspicion and distrust have reached such a serious level. .

　　 "Todd..."

　　 A weak voice came from the door.

　　 Followed the sound to see who was coming, and there was a slight smile on his face.

　　Wearing a nun's uniform, Karin poked her head in, her face full of worry and sorrow.

　　 "You forgot what I told you?"

　　 A mature and lazy female voice came from behind Karin, and one hand grabbed the girl's back by the neck.

　　 Karin immediately changed her words: "Father..."

Richel walked into the room, sat opposite Todd, glanced at the densely packed records on the register, and said with a smile: "You don't think about dropping the rule that "each person can only buy ten sacred bones" Can I recover the holy bones in these people’s hands at the original price~"

　　 Todd frowned and looked at each other. The more he looked, the more he realized that the dean of the nuns in front of him, his smile really resembled the little fox in the previous life animation film. Suddenly remembering a certain possibility, he leaned forward and asked in a low voice: "These people...couldn't you find them..."

　　Richier licked his mouth and made a look of being aggrieved: "Heavenly Father is here! I have never done anything like that!"

　　 Karin also said at this time ~www.novelmt.com~, "Sister Rachel and I have been together these days, and I can testify that she has never done anything bad!"

　　 Todd glanced at the latter, rolled his eyes and shook his head, secretly complaining.

　　『You stupid girl, what kind of evidence do you have? Even if you are sold to the market by a trafficker, you will definitely help bargain. 』

"Instead of thinking that others are doing bad things, why don't you look at the things in front of you? Maybe you can find some new clues." Seeing Rachel tapped the register with his smooth fingers, Todd examined it carefully. Going through the register, looking at it this way, he really saw some strange things.

The sellers of 　　 sacred bones are mostly wealthy people, such as shopkeepers, vendors, traders, etc.; while the buyers are mostly poorer people, such as fishermen, artisans, craftsmen, and so on.

　　 Thinking a little, Todd understood the reason.

Those businessmen in Muxi Town have sufficient funds to directly purchase the sacred bones at the "tea party", but the excessive emphasis on wealth makes them lack patience for the late return; and those producers and processors However, due to lack of funds, they need to discuss with each other at the "tea party" before they can pool the money to buy the holy bones, and lag behind the former in timing. But now, the latter, who regards faith as much more important than wealth, is naturally willing to "take the plate" when the former gives up the sacred bones.

Seeing Todd thinking intently, Rachel supported the edge of the table with both hands, and leaned against him. His rosy lips were close to the other's ears. The words spoken surprised the priest: "He who believes in me will live forever. Isn't that great~"

　　 Todd raised his head, and moved his gaze from her "mountain like a gathering" to her face with difficulty.

　　 There is only one thought in his mind.

　　 This woman, she really smiles like a little fox...
