Alien Knights

　　 Is it a knight who is resistant or even hostile to his alien abilities...

　　 Todd touched the slightly fluffy chin, a headache. Alfonso is undoubtedly a knight of the Holy See with a firm belief and loyalty. Perhaps the church’s long-term propaganda that vilified the image of alien species, or the psychological shadow of using the "keel" ability to kill his own wife, let this person use alien abilities. , Without the slightest sense of identity.

　　 Suddenly remembered something, Todd asked Leslie and Walton again: "How did your boss meet you?"

The two looked at each other, and Leslie first said: "The village I used to live in was a gathering place of alien species. There were less than forty people in the village. One day, the "Relief Society" found us. At first it was to persuade us. To join them, after being refused, he used violence to looting the population. My father was killed in the resistance. I was loaded into a prison wagon and transported to the stronghold of the "Relief Society". I met the boss during the transportation and he saved me. , I just stayed by his side without his consent."

Walton sighed and began to recall: "My husband and I were friends with Adelina. We were living in a town east of the Raven Forest at that time. People disappeared from time to time in the town, and we didn't care about it at first. Until one day, Adelina was also missing. Following the clues, her husband and I found her in the depths of the forest. At the same time, we met an heir who was alienated into a monster. Adelina's husband died in order to protect his wife. Under the claws of the monster. Me and her were saved by Master Decavo who happened to pass by..."

　　 Leslie heard this and protested: "Hey! Have you forgotten? I was there at that time! I have a part in saving your life!"

　　 Walton squinted his eyes and snorted, "Help me? I remember you were the first to rush up like a fool. If the boss hadn't blocked the monster's paws with a sword, would you still be sitting here and talking?"

　　 Listening to the two people in front of him starting to quarrel again, Todd slowly got up from the ground. Alfonso's "character puzzle" has gradually formed a general outline in his mind, and he feels it is necessary to talk to the knight in detail.

　　 After knocking on the door lightly, Todd walked into Alfonso’s hut and saw the person who was sitting on a chair, holding Shichu in both hands, doing arm rehabilitation training.

　　 Adelina, who was boiling water, saw Todd alone walking into the room, her face was somewhat surprised.

　　 "Can you give me a few minutes? I have something to talk to you." Todd looked at Alfonso Decavo with a serious expression on his face like never before.

　　 The latter was stunned for a moment, then nodded to Adelina.

　　 The white-robed woman exited the hut, and the moment she closed the door, she cast a worried look at Alfonso in the house.

　　 Todd found a chair and sat on the opposite side of the knight. He glanced at the thin man in front of him and said straightforwardly: "Mr. Alfonso, I want to know what you think of the alien species."

The man sitting in the chair frowned and said in a deep voice, "Father Todd, I know what you want to ask. I am not a stupid and rigid person. I do not agree with the church's definition of alien species—" The devil’s posthumous child". In fact, I have seen many kind and upright alien species, such as my three rebels."

　　 Todd took a deep breath and slowly said, "You may have misunderstood what I mean. The alien in my last sentence refers to you."

　　 Alfonso slowly closed his eyes when he heard the words, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "Father, can you imagine the feeling of handing over the body to the control of the "keel"?"

　　 Todd shook his head.

"A fist can break the hardest rock, and a dancing sword can split the thickest trunk. This sounds like a wonderful thing, but I feel trapped in the "keel" more like myself It's an equipment that specializes in warfare, not a living human." Alfonso lowered his head and watched the five fingers slowly form a fist. There was a bit of exclamation in his words: "What makes me feel more frightened is, I slowly fell into this kind of power, enjoying this feeling, and gradually forgot a knight’s knowledge of the origin of power. For me, alien abilities are a kind of opportunistic practice and wrong power. To temper myself, Improving abilities, this is the way a knight should gain strength."

"Mr. Alfonso, did you make a mistake?" Todd supported his forehead, and said helplessly: "The duty of the knight is to protect the old and the weak, women and children, and fight for justice to fight against injustice and evil. Different species There is no such thing as right or wrong with the ability of, it is like a long sword in your hand. When used for justice, it means goodness, and when used for traitorous things, it means evil!"

Alfonso pressed the armrests of the chair with his arms and leaned forward: "Father, I don’t agree with your view. If, as you said, you don’t pay attention to physical training and the improvement of abilities, and rely only on weapons. In terms of power, swords and spears are not needed for knights to fight. Wouldn't it be more convenient for a crossbow machine with a good arrow on the whole body?"

In the face of such a knight who is not letting go, Todd's anger rose by three points: "If the purpose is to protect the weak and uphold justice, even a knight should raise that **** crossbow. The machine, shoot the crossbow into the enemy's heart! Instead of observing those rigid dogmas, watching the evil one kill the weak!"

　　 Alfonso was furious, patted the armrest and shouted: "This is ridiculous! Father! You don't know what the honor of a knight is!"

　　 Annoyed Todd stood up, opened the door, looked at the two men and a woman who had fallen in, and walked out without looking back.

　　 A good conversation finally broke up.

　　———————

For more than a week after 　　, Todd never went to Alfonso to talk about alien powers. He focused more on the breeding of "Dragon Bone" parasites and the establishment of "Music Mutual Aid Society".

　　 Looking at the register of sacred bones compiled by the deacon, Todd felt strange as he looked at it.

　　For holders who have purchased "Mutual Aid Fund", the 30-day priority purchase period has not yet arrived, but the 1,000 sacred bones of the mutual aid agency have already been purchased.

He bought 50 by himself, Rachel and Karin each bought 50, Huggins and his 12 subordinates bought 70 together, Alfonso and his followers bought 80, Egypt Degas and Jerry bought 50 pieces in total.

　　 After carefully looking at the purchase list and quantity, Todd discovered that in addition to the people mentioned above, several residents among the priority purchasers were actually close to the top purchase (the upper limit for a single person to purchase-50 sacred bones).

　　50 silver months is not a small amount. Where did these people get so much money?

　　 After asking the deacon, Todd understood the mystery.

　　 Many residents of Muxi Town have reached an agreement with the priority purchasers. The former voluntarily handed over the money to the latter, and everyone pooled the money to buy 50 sacred bones. After the money was made, they were subdivided according to their respective proportions of the sacred bones. This involves a bargaining issue, and the first purchaser naturally refuses to sell his share of 50 pieces, 1 sacred bone and 1 silver month to others at the original price. According to each other's familiarity and credit history, the meeting price is generally between 5 times and 10 times.

　　 It may be a bit difficult to understand it, but if you take a real example that happened in Muxi Town, you might be able to understand it.

　　 There is a small owner who runs a tavern in the town. I once bought the sacred bones of "Muxi Mutual Aid", but didn't hold it to the end, and sold it to his in-laws halfway through. So this time, the 30-day priority purchase period of 1,000 sacred bones of "Music Mutual Aid Society", he naturally did not qualify. But the boss had money in his hands and refused to let go of this good opportunity to make money, so he found a family member who was qualified to buy it. The latter was originally a poor old couple who made wooden cups. Because of the belief in Lord Saint Son, they were finally allocated the 14 Silver Moon and 79 Bronze Stars by relying on the holy bone they bought.

The two families sat together and discussed. The old couple was willing to take the tavern owner to buy the sacred bones, but considering that the price of the sacred bones had been heated up, they decided to sell the sacred bones that were originally 1 silver moon for 6 silver months to the innkeeper. . Although the boss felt uncomfortable, he still pinched his nose and spent all his savings 30 silver months to book a share of 5 holy bones. In this way, the old couple will have 44 silver moon and 79 bronze stars in their hands. In the church's sacred bone subscription, 44 sacred bones were purchased at once.

　　 This kind of thing called "purchasing" is not a special case in Muxi Town, but it does not happen many times. After all, it is almost impossible for normal people to hand real money into the hands of strangers. "Daigou" occurs more frequently between parents and children, family relatives, and married relatives.

　　 In addition, there is another reason. Those really rich merchants in Muxi Town are still waiting for the opportunity. They think the current "buying agent" price is too expensive. The price of the sacred bones will naturally come down in the next auction, without the competition of priority buyers. After all, they are the richest in the town.

　　 put down the register in his hand, Todd rubbed his eyes, and walked out the door of the church while thinking about the auction of the sacred bones to be held in a week.

　　 Rachel and Karin, who were supervising the construction of the "Sisters Inn", happened to see him and walked over while saying hello. A small head came out behind them, and Todd vaguely recognized that it was Pamela, the alien girl he rescued from Viscount Kennard.

　　 "I'm looking for you." The dean of the nun's house folded his arms and looked at the priest with a smile.

　　 Todd, who was pulling his sleeves by the excited Karin, looked at the woman a little strangely. In his impression, Rachel would rarely take the initiative to find himself.

Rachel pointed to the hotel under construction next to the nun’s house. His face was innocent and innocent, and his words were full of pride: "It won’t be long before the hotel that Karin and I funded will be completed. . UU Reading www.uukahnshu.com"

Todd glanced at the construction site where the brick wall of the hall was being built, and said with some confusion: "I still don't understand why you and Karin want to build a hotel..." Before he finished speaking, he saw the woman's palm facing up. Reaching out to himself, a document lay quietly in his palm.

　　 With a full of doubts, Todd took the document from the opponent's hand and opened it. It turned out that Rachel and Karin voluntarily donated one-third of the hotel's revenue to him.

"How is this going?"

Hearing the question, Rachel’s face showed the little fox smile that Todd couldn’t be more familiar with. She only heard her say: “We are brothers and sisters under the rule of Heavenly Father, shouldn’t we reach out to each other? A helping hand?"

　　 Todd looked at Rachel's charming smile and remembered that when the other party first came to Muxi Town, he always worried that the other party would interfere in affairs, and even conduct sabotage and espionage activities. But a few months later, the woman was just training Karin's abilities every day, and teaching the girl to read and write, never going too far.

　　 Shaking his head slightly for his previous actions, Todd thought for a while, then smiled and said to Rachel: "Do you want the method of making "MSG"?"

　　 The woman's expression was stagnant, and then she nodded gently.

　　 took out the pencil from his arms, Todd squatted down, using his legs as a desktop, and wrote the MSG production method word by word on the back of the document.

　　 Next, in front of Rachel and Karin, Todd tore the document in half, and the half with the formula was handed to the dean of the nun's house, and the other half fell into his arms.

　　 "Remember. I will go to the hotel to eat in the future, and I will not be allowed to charge me."

　　 Seeing Todd turning away from the back, Rachel held half of the paper in his hand, put a smile away, and stood for a long time.
