Alien Knights

On the seventh day after the "Relief Society" dinner, Todd stood at the door of the church in Mussy Town, and a group of residents watching the excitement, watching a group of taciturn craftsmen. Laying the foundation.

　　 Not far from the construction site, Rachel and Karin stood by in wide white nun robes.

　　 Karin saw the priest, her eyes lit up, and she just moved two steps under her feet, she was caught by the head of the nun's house behind her, and she whispered.

　　 Seeing this scene, Todd shook his head funny and helplessly.

　　 Early in the morning the next day after the dinner, Todd planned to take Karin back to Muxi Town. Originally, he thought that Rachel would have to prepare for a few days before he could rush over. Unexpectedly, the other party just carried a leather bag and a small wooden box, and jumped into the carriage.

　　Along the way, I don't know what method she used. Karin, who was originally stubborn and somewhat hostile to her, had been trained and subdued by her at the end of the journey.

　　 A few days after the three arrived in Musi Town, the craftsmen who built the nun’s house appeared next to the church, which made Todd stunned at the efficiency of Rachel.

　　 Leaving the door of the church, Todd returned to the laboratory building, and once again opened the "Sutherland History" that Theodore gave him. There is a passage about the research career of the sage when he was young.

　　『When Sutherland was twenty-six years old and worked at the Tyro Alchemy Academy, he built a hut in the active crater of Albano in order to conduct alchemy experiments and lived there for eight years. Every morning, he brought clean water and dry food, from the path of the volcanic cave, down to the deepest tens of meters, collecting and refining materials... At the age of thirty-four, he returned to the capital and continued to study alchemy while using the pharmacist’s advice. I traveled around with the legion...』

　　 Todd slowly closed the book, thinking carefully. After being injected into the human body, the amount of "Sutherland Archaea" almost never increases or decreases. But if the heterogeneous bacteria exceeds its carrying capacity and breaks the balance between the two, the archaea will recklessly produce aggressive behaviors, turning the host into a monster. According to the records of the church, for nearly a thousand years, almost all people who were contaminated with the "Sutherland Legacy" have become monsters, with one exception, and that is Sutherland himself.

　　 In this way, the alchemist Sutherland used what channel to stably obtain a large amount of archaea to store in his body, which inhibited the alien bacteria in his body. Until he died in battle, there was no abnormality.

　　So, how did this archaea enter Sutherland's body?

According to the research results of the microbial community in the past, from the discovery of the archaea species in 1977 to the year of the crossing, only more than one hundred archaea were discovered. According to their habits and locations, they are generally classified as those living in volcanic craters. "Thermophilic archaea", "Halophilic archaea" that live in high-concentration salt water, "Acidophilic archaea" that live in strong acids, and other minorities.

　　Combined with the records of "Sutherland History", Sutherland Archaea is most likely the first type-"Thermophilic Archaea" near the crater.

　　 Then, there is one last question.

　　How to obtain a large number of Sutherland Archaea and solve its own "inheritor" crisis?

　　 Todd didn't plan to learn from the alchemist a thousand years ago, and went to the crater to find archaea. If you do that, you don’t know if you can find it. Maybe he will mutate into a monster first during the journey back and forth.

　　The best way is to artificially propagate "Sutherland Archaea", but this time the bacterial culture needs to simulate the environment of the crater.

　　 After confirming all this, Todd could finally let out a sigh of relief at the experiment table.

The answer to the huge puzzle of "Sutherland Archaea" consists of four puzzle pieces. They are: microbiology knowledge from previous lives, experimental equipment capable of observing bacteria, the secret history of the church hunting "inheritors", and Sa Selan's life experience. So far, the puzzles are assembled, the puzzles are solved, and everything is finally clear.

　　 After finding the drawings and tools, Todd began to write and draw, a metal sealed petri dish used to simulate the volcanic environment, and soon completed the design drawings. Put it into a wooden tube, and plan to give it to Huggins later so that the craftsman can build it.

　　 After hard work, a big deal happened. Todd stretched out on the chair, glanced at everything in the laboratory, and suddenly couldn't remember how long he hadn't been to the town.

　　 put down the pen in his hand, locked the door of the room, and Todd walked onto the main street of the town.

　　 It was already around four o'clock in the afternoon. People who had worked all day gradually returned to the streets, and there were more and more people in the center of the town.

And around the place where the church is, there are all the prosperity of Muxi Town. There are coveted shouts from the tavern, all kinds of humming from the livestock store, as well as weaving and dyeing shops, linen shops, vendors, and snacks. Car and so on. Although the bustle is bustling, Todd glanced at the flying dust and the **** littering the street, and touched the bridge of his nose in distress.

　　 The public management of Muxi Town relies entirely on the residents' spontaneous and conscious maintenance. Although this move can greatly reduce the municipal expenditure, it is far from reaching the due sanitation standards and planning level.

"Control is not a good thing, but you have to rely on it?" Todd greeted the residents passing by, thinking of the various thoughts in his mind, and gradually walked towards the edge of the town. .

　　The most critical and important part of a medieval village to be upgraded to a small town is the city wall. But now Muxi Town can't do it, because it's close to the sea. Although the town has a defensive force, the armed forces on the sea are almost zero, and even the best city walls are also displayed; secondly, because of expansion. With the gradual increase in the population and extension of the town, the planning and construction of the city wall is not a realistic thing.

　　 Passing through the outermost part of the town, UU reading www.uukanshu.com those peasants' thatched cottages, Todd saw the green fields separated by small roads by the afterglow of the setting sun.

　　 A depressed, heavy-footed farmer, passing by the priest, some people bow their heads, and some people bend their knees. Todd drew a cross towards the top of the crowd, and after a few prayers, he planned to return to the church.

　　 The looming cry of not far away attracted his attention. Todd walked to the side of the road and pulled away the grass on the side of the road.

　　 A 20-year-old farmer and his wife sat on the farmland and wept bitterly. The seedlings of concanava and chickpea were yellow and withered, drooping to the ground beside them.

　　 Watching the priest approaching, the farmer who guessed the identity of the visitor through the clothes of the clergyman, quickly pulled up his wife and fell to the ground.

　　 Ignoring them, Todd crouched down and turned over the soil underneath. He glanced at the coastline at the end of his field of vision, and then at the lost vegetable seedlings. He probably understood what was going on.

Muxi Town is close to the sea, and the seawater can penetrate into the surrounding land through groundwater. As a result, most of the land around the town is saline-alkali land. It is okay to plant some alkaline-tolerant plants. There will be no grains.

Father 　　 looked at a large area of ​​dead seedlings in front of him, sighed, and said to the couple: "Change the crop to wheat. While there is still time, turn the ground and start again as soon as possible."

　　 "Master priest, we have no money. These seedlings are the last property we mortgaged and borrowed from the owner of the manor."

　　 Todd was taken aback by the words of the farmer. He thought for a while and asked, "How many farmers still have no harvest in spring planting like this to you?"

　　 The couple looked at each other and gave an answer that surprised Todd.

　　 is almost all.
