Alien Knights

　　 There is still some time before the pirates go south. Before that, we must make perfect preparations.

　　The first task is to strengthen the relationship with the church.

　　 Sitting on the carriage full of wine and food, Todd laughed softly, remembering the scene just now.

　　 agreed to his crazy plan, Hudgens did not hesitate to take out all the deposits in the silver refinery. When Edgar and Karin knew that part of the money was to purchase goods and send them to the church camp, they immediately expressed their strong opposition.

　　 The former was cleaned up by Huggins, and the latter took Todd a long time to comfort him. After some good and bad talks, Karin finally accepted the argument of "paralyzing the enemy".

　　 Now thinking of the reluctance on the girl's face, Todd closed his eyes, and the unforgettable scenes from the previous life returned to his eyes.

　　 He just graduated with a master's degree. Under the persuasion of his tutor, he stayed at his alma mater and became a lecturer. At that time, young people didn't know how high the world was, hated injustice, and despised authority. They always felt that they had excellent grades in school and rich scientific research results.

　　 Soon, reality slapped him fiercely, and the frustration rounded every corner of his body. He gradually learned how to cultivate human feelings, and understood the insight of the world. All the way, with strong academic skills and sleek philosophy of life, he became the youngest associate professor in school history.

　　Is this a growth or a fall?

　　 The distance gradually appeared in the camp in the field of vision, causing Todd to withdraw his thoughts.

　　 The guard at the entrance of the camp had already known the generous monk, moved away from the horse, and waved to the person in the car.

　　 drove to the guard, Todd took out the small wooden tube filled with ale from his arms, threw it to the opponent, put his finger on his lips, and made a silent motion.

　　 received the guard's chest-beating salute, and the monk smiled and moved on.

　　 "Master Todd."

　　 "Mr. Todd."

　　 "Todd!"

　　...

While 　　 was familiar with the camp, various people greeted each other, and the monk parked his car in the middle of the camp.

　　 A person walked out of the residential house, and the monk was taken aback when he saw the familiar face, then put on a warm smile on his face, and took the initiative to greet him.

　　 "Father Paul! Long time no see!"

The man with a frosty face glanced at the monk on the opposite side and snorted in his nose: "What's the matter with you? Why hasn't there been any action yet? What you should do now is to go to the monastery and try to win those hearts to the church. Monk!"

　　 Todd said in his heart, I want to do what you said today, and I'm probably going to be swept out by the monastery tomorrow!

　　Other priests walked out of the room one after another. When someone saw the carriage full of loads, they first smiled at Todd, and then persuaded, "Brother Paul, please don't embarrass Brother Todd, things always have to go through."

Father Paul turned his head in annoyance, pointing one finger at the carriage, and said to the crowd: "Don't be lost by ease and desire! The bishop has already given us a mission, but you are like a bunch of people who care about these words. want!"

　　 This skill "Map Cannon" immediately annoyed most people.

　　 Someone retorted loudly: "The pious heart that is dedicated to the holy, but you wantonly slander it! It's too much!"

Todd saw the right time and inserted a sentence: "Heavenly Father is here! It's just a delivery of some food and wine, which is not a serious matter. When the highest shepherd, he also drove the flock to a place where the grass is fresh. Is that also wrong?"

　　 Paul lifted his chin and slowly said to the monk: "Heavenly Father knows the sheep and teaches, you mean you have mastered the human heart?!"

　　 Todd was speechless for a while, and said in his heart that this guy is not high in EQ, but IQ is definitely not low. In terms of reaction speed and analytical ability, it is even more stunned, and he can still grasp the handle with a simple sentence.

　　 Knowing that confrontation is not a good choice at this time, Todd voluntarily chose to give in: "Father Paul, as you wish, I will restrain my words and deeds and no more gifts."

　　 Hearing this, many people around showed anger, but due to the temporary authorization of the bishop before leaving, they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak to Paul.

　　 Todd, who came and returned with loads of loads, glanced at the silent camp behind him, grasped the reins in his hands, and said in his heart: It's almost a fire.

　　 The glass production at the smelter is quite smooth.

　　 Karin and Huggins worked together to master the art of blowing and shaping, and the production progress was several times the original.

The style of 　　 glassware is not complicated, either for pots or bottles, or for dishes. The appearance looks simple and generous. All the finished products are without exception added with Gutello's text or patterns.

　　 What Todd did next, the two of them couldn't understand at all.

　　The monks first used natural emery for grinding optical glass to polish the surface of the glass crafts.

　　 Regarded as a masterpiece of his own hard work, being treated so rudely by Todd, Karin first quit, the girl directly scuffled with the boy, trying to get back the equipment in the other's hands.

　　 Fortunately, Hudgens finally stopped Karin's resistance and assured her that what Todd was doing had his own reason.

　　 Then put the ground glass into the wet mud, dust it with dust, and let it stand for more than twelve hours, then gently peel off the earth crust on the surface.

　　 Hudgens and Karin looked at the dirty, scratched glassware in front of them, looked at Todd, and waited for his explanation.

　　 An even more shocking thing happened.

　　 The boy actually lifted a rock and smashed several intact glassware into pieces.

　　 "Are you crazy?!" Todd's arm was shaken with both hands, and Karin was crying in his words.

　　 Hudgens didn't have too much expression, just asked: "Is this the "antique" in your plan?"

　　 Karin heard a strange word, turned her head and asked: "Antique?!"

　　 Todd put the fragments into the wooden box, patted the dirt on his hands, and began to explain to the girl: "My purpose is to make these glassware look like antiques of the Tyrolean Empire."

　　 Hudgens asked again: "Just with such a simple treatment, can people believe that these are antiques from the Tyrol period?"

Todd shook his head: "My approach actually uses a human psychological loophole. Except for the three of us, no one has seen a new thing like glass. Its value is so high because of its perfection, people always think, For such a new thing, the purpose of each processing is to make the object more perfect in order to make it more valuable. But no one would have thought that someone would be so stupid to destroy this perfection and deliberately lower the value of glass."

　　 The monk turned his face to Huggins and said, "Next, it's up to you."

　　 The man nodded.

　　 A few days later, a strange rumor spread from villages and towns along the western coast.

　　 On an island in the northern archipelago, there are a lot of treasures of the ancient Tyrolean empire buried...
