Alien Knights

Chapter 74: cooperate

   Compared to Theodore's supportive appearance, Rachel looked much more elegant. Gently wiped the corners of her mouth with the white cloth on the dining table, and then patted her towering chest. She smiled and said, "You have opened my eyes, Mr. Todd."

   When faced with the president of the "Relief Society", Todd was able to leave some leeway with ease, but when talking with this seemingly harmless woman, an inexplicable pressure was always vaguely in his heart.

Rachel used a toothpick to insert a still green mulberry, slowly put it into his mouth, his almond-shaped eyes were bent into crescents, and said, "Mr. Todd, we have run out of dinner, let’s talk about it. ......" Seeing Theodore's face sinking, the woman quickly changed her conversation: "...your situation."

   "My situation?"

   Todd frowned, wondering what the meaning of the other person's words was.

"Mr. Todd, I have seen your introduction. From the monk of the monastery to the priest of the church, your experience in these two months can be described by the word legend. Defeating pirates, overseas treasure hunts, heretical trials, you are now But the hero that everyone sings in the streets and alleys."

   Listening to the woman's words, Todd didn't say anything, the expression on his face became heavier and heavier, and a bad premonition gradually emerged.

"However, some things are not as simple as you think." Rachel said as he took out a map from his carry-on bag, drew a few lines and a circle with a pen, and continued: "You said you went to sea In the northern archipelago, crystal relics have been dug up, but the journey time of each voyage is always about three days. Counting the time consumed by turning back, ocean currents, wind direction, supply, and excavation, it is not really spent on the road. Too long. If you take the speed of the ship into account, you can draw your approximate sailing radius with Muxigang as the center."

   Looking at the circle drawn by the woman on the map, Todd's eyes widened.

"The northern archipelago does not have a few islands within the circled area. Even if you find a boat and look at each island, it will not take much time. You think, if someone really worked hard and looked around, there is no If you find the traces of the excavation, will you have such doubts-where exactly are the crystal treasures?" Rachel took out two similar but different looking glassware from the bag: "Thank you. Mr. De, do you think you are familiar with it? We found it with great effort. The two crystal relics are basically the same in style, but the one on the left is the first batch that you sent to Silver Ring City. Goods, the one on the right is the latest shipment sent to the border."

   Looking at the woman in green, he brought the two glass objects closer to the fire, and compared them with each other. Todd immediately understood the problem, his breathing became so fast that he almost couldn't breathe.

"The first batch on the left has bubbles at the bottom, heavier crystal impurities, and obvious traces of rusty handwork at the connection; the one on the right is completely different, with meticulous workmanship, less impurities, and close to perfection." Kyle tilted his head and looked at the silent man: "It's obviously a Tyro artifact that was unearthed. The style is the same, but the workmanship is so much different. It happens to be a different batch of goods. Don't you think this is too coincidental? "

"If the above is just to make people feel suspicious, then your performance in the trial of heretics is equivalent to burying the last shovel of soil for your "grave." You have disclosed your identity as an alchemist, and you are in front of everyone. He conducted an alchemy experiment."

Rachel walked to Todd's side, looked at the fine sweat on the other's forehead, and said softly: "Northern islands, technological advancement, proficient in alchemy. Don't you think that putting these things together is equivalent to admitting in disguise. Now, do you already have the skill to make crystals?"

   The woman squatted down and leaned against Todd. Although her tone was soft, the content was shocking: "The things I can think of, the church vultures are not ideal. Do you know what they will do next?"

   Todd swallowed, and asked unconsciously, "How to do it?"

"Tenuously refuse all your requests, but will praise your merits in the "Sacred Ministry Bulletin", promote your position, transfer you to a free position in the central parish, and find someone to take over your Muxi Town. Next , Just find a crime and place it on your head. In the end, whether you roast you or cook you, it is their freedom..."

Rachel returned to his recliner, stretched out, and said with a smile: "The reason why they haven't done anything yet, you really should be grateful for the Tyrolean words engraved on the crystal. If it weren't for "Heavenly Father Church" and "Zhizheng" The church’ is vying for the name of orthodoxy and needs to use these relics as evidence. You may already be in prison now.”

   Todd sat cross-legged on the spot, buried his head between his hands, and closed his eyes in annoyance.

   The plan that seemed to him to be seamless, but there were so many flaws, it was as if a slap in the face was slapped.

"Mr. Todd, I have a suggestion, you might as well consider it." Looking at Theodore's solemn expression, the woman paused and said: "Cooperate with us, we can help you tide over the difficulties and give You bring more power and wealth. And we are all different species, and we have innate bonds in our destiny, so we don't have to worry about each other's betrayal..."

   Todd raised his head, his face was calm to his surprise, "What do you need me to do?"

   "It's very simple, there are only two things. First, we hope that in Muxi Town, we can set up an alien shelter to ensure that the power of the church will not endanger their safety."

   After listening to the first condition, Todd pondered for a while, and after a moment he understood the other party's intentions: "So~www.readwn.com~Is the most dangerous place the safest place?"

  Rachel laughed when he heard this, "What you said is absolutely correct."

   "What about the second condition?"

   "If I remember correctly, the church once granted you a commission to establish the Heavenly Father Sisterhood, right?"

   "That's right."

   "We hope to set up a nun's house in Muxi Town, which will be managed by us."

   Touched the bridge of his nose, Todd looked at the flame of the candlestick, and began to weigh the pros and cons in his heart.

If you control the placement of a heterogeneous shelter, the relationship is not too great, as long as you pay attention to confidentiality and coordination, and don’t make any major incidents, there should be no problem; but if you transfer the jurisdiction of the Muxi Town Nunnery to Relief Yes, that means they can set up a fixed stronghold in the town in a fair and honest manner. Next, it is possible that the residents in the town will be brainwashed to preach, and even religious riots will occur.

   Thinking of this, Todd showed a look of embarrassment on his face. He wanted to reject the proposal, but he hadn't spoken yet. Rachel seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled and said: "I almost forgot. Regarding the second condition, I still have some supplementary details. We will only send one person to the nun's house in Muxi Town. The dean is permanent and will not send additional staff."

   If there is only one person, then it is acceptable, but it is a big deal to find someone to watch it 24 hours a day.

   Todd nodded slightly, and asked the last question: "So, when will your designated dean arrive?"

Rachel grabbed the table with one hand and leaned over her upper body. Her body curve became a fatal temptation. With the other hand, she stretched out her index finger and pointed at her own eyebrows, and smiled: "As long as you want, I will be at any time It will be all right……"
