Alien Knights

　　 Todd is not clear about the way men in previous lives wooed, but he does know a thing or two. But Huggins's routine of running away with a woman away from home and throwing away money is unheard of.

　　 But at this time, it is the person who feels most depressed.

Just when he thought he had done everything secretly and hummed a little tune on his way home, Hudgens looked like hell, looking at familiar faces, slowly rising from the rocks, among the bushes, and behind the fence. rise.

"you…"

　　 The man was a little dazed and didn't know what to say next.

　　 Todd walked up to him and gave him a complicated look.

　　 The man instantly understood that he was thinking too much: "That's my wife and daughter."

　　 The monk opened his eyes.

　　 Hudgens took a step first, and dropped a sentence: "We said as we walked."

　　 The group embarked on a journey back to the monastery.

　　 The man slowly told Todd his story.

　　 Hudgens’ family originated in the northern swamps of the Falling Star Mountains. His ancestors lived by hunting rats. This kind of strange disease is inherited from generation to generation in the family, regardless of male or female, after adulthood, the hands and feet will emit black miasma, which can cause living poisoning.

　　In the generation of Huggins, the situation is getting worse and worse, the hands gradually become black and withered, the muscles lose vitality, the nerves are gradually paralyzed, and the poisonous gas even penetrates the thick gloves and radiates into the air.

　　 The man soon had a daughter after he got married, which was regarded as a pearl. She should have been a beautiful family. When her daughter was one year old, she was unconscious because of a high fever. Huggins took his daughter to seek medical treatment, but did not see her getting better. The desperate man had to step into the San Sidro Monastery and ask for the blessing of Heavenly Father.

　　At that time, he met Master Miles.

　　 The other party checked the patient and told him an unbearable truth. The daughter's real cause came from the curse of his family. The only way to make this child grow up healthily is to keep Huggins as far away from her as possible.

　　 This is a painful choice.

Huggins created the illusion of death through an accident. He watched his coffin sink into the ground from a distance, and listened to the heartbreaking cry of his wife and daughter. The man chose to turn around and walk into his own "purgatory". .

　　 just like this occasionally, secretly give the money saved by frugality to his wife and daughter...

　　 After hearing this story, Todd looked at Huggins' profile and fell into deep thought. Most people only see the power and beauty of the supernatural beings, but seldom pay attention to what they have lost and what they have given.

　　 Everyone wants to gain strength, but very few people are ready to bear the consequences that may come.

The monk touched his eyes and asked softly: "Huggins, if I tell you, you might live with your wife and daughter like a normal person, but you will take great risks. Are you willing? "

The man stopped, and pulled Todd's shoulders with both hands, his tone was never serious: "If I can pick up my daughter again, I am willing to give everything I have, even my life. …"

　　 "God gives you happiness, my daughter"

　　 "Let everything be hopeful, nothing makes you panic"

　　 "Recalling the golden years of the past"

　　 "From learning words to growing strong"

　　 "My daughter, put on a beautiful wedding dress"

　　 "Oh, Godsend gospel, bring comfort and joy"

　　 "Daughter has grown up and will be married today"

　　 Hudgens’ singing rang in the ears of the monk again, but this time, Todd didn’t speak again.

　　———————

"You mean Muxi Harbor?" Huggins made a cross on the map with a pencil: "At the beginning of spring every year, the pirates of the Northern Islands will row their animal kayaks with axes and torches. Ferry. Cross the sea of ​​mist, cross the torrent strait, and land at Muxi Harbor, looting every village in sight."

With the seaport as the center, the man drew a circle with a radius of about 15 kilometers on the map: "The attack range of the pirates after landing is about this large. If you run this distance, you can control it to about forty-five minutes. It can dodge the pursuit of the army and return to the ship in time."

Putting the pen on the table, Hudgens glanced at the monk who was listening carefully, touched his chin, and said uncertainly: "I know a man living in a seaside village. Maybe he can learn more from his mouth. "

　　 Todd nodded: "All intelligence is invaluable to us. We will act separately, you will be responsible for contacting the insider, and I will prepare what we need in the next step."

　　 Back to the laboratory, Todd put the necessary materials into his suitcase, and after a simple meal with Karin, he rushed to the smelting field at the foot of the mountain.

　　 He ordered the craftsmen to vacate a furnace for themselves, then clear all the people around the furnace, and put up a thick curtain around it to block everyone's sight.

　　 Todd did it himself, and Karin was the only assistant. The thing to be made this time is still glass, but the last time it was made was optical glass, this time it was made of craft glass.

　　 The materials are similar, but the process is different.

　　 The previous steps will not be repeated, starting from the blowing stage.

　　 First, the square iron tube (made by beating wrought iron) is stretched into the high-temperature furnace to bring out the glass raw material, the main component is quartz sand, but the photosensitive material does not need to be added. Knead the ingredients twice in the red clay powder, and color them first. Then stretch the colored raw material into a rod shape, and then bend it into a handle.

　　 Next, use an iron pipe to take out a lump of glass material and blow air to expand it. The most test of manual skills is the next thing, while blowing air while using wet wipes to shape the glass. During this period, once the glass cools slowly, it needs to be heated back to the furnace and then shaped. People with good craftsmanship can usually blow the perfect shape after returning to the furnace two or three times, and those who are unfamiliar may have to return to the furnace seven or eight times.

　　 Come again, connect the colored glass outer part to the main body and melt it at high temperature.

　　 Finally, put it in a cooling place and let it dry for one day.

　　 The steps sound very simple, but the links that test the craftsman's craftsmanship in the middle are too many and complicated. If you don't pay attention, you will lose all your efforts.

　　 It was the best choice to let the craftsmen do this kind of thing, but Todd was careful to protect the technology and did not involve the craftsmen and apprentices.

　　The consequence is that the glass products he blown are staggered and bumpy; fortunately, Karin is much stronger than him in this respect, and the finished products are all the same.

　　 If it weren't for Todd's emergency call to stop, the girl who blows up the glass can even do it for a whole day.

　　 Watching all the glass flames put into the ventilating box, Todd repeatedly emphasized to little Jerry, who was in charge of the guard, that no one was allowed to come near here.

　　 At the same time, Huggins also returned with news of Muxi Harbor.
