Alien Knights

The first thing Todd did when he woke up was to touch the church authorization letter beside him.

It's okay, it's all there.

Sitting up from the bed, the bells and chimes rang in his head, Venus appeared in front of his eyes, and he pressed his two index fingers on his throbbing temples. Todd bit his teeth hard, thinking to himself, it's no wonder that scientific researchers hate socializing the most.

Drunk for one night, hangover the next day, completely canceling all arrangements, unable to go to work at all.

Get dressed and open the door.

He met the monks hurrying along the corridor. Those people glanced at Todd blankly, and continued on their way without stopping.

Todd also understood that his reputation in the monastery was completely stink. In the past, the most evaluations were "lazy and ungodly", but now I am afraid that the negative comments of "collaborating with the church and obsessing with the world" will be added. Thinking about it the other way around, without the mountain of Master Meris, I am lucky that I am not driven out now.

Like a mouse in a market, Todd tried to hide his body in the shadow of the building in order not to attract the attention of others, and moved towards the gate of the monastery step by step.

Unfortunately, it was found after all.

Karin, who was wearing a monk's robe, stood in front of Todd, with an unhappy expression on her face: "Yesterday you didn't allow me to go, today you must take me with you!"

Todd rubbed his temples, intending to refuse directly, but when he remembered the other party's terrorist remarks of "painting the wall with anger" yesterday, he suddenly felt that it might be better to bring her with him.

"You can follow me today..." Seeing the girl's excited and happy expression, Todd immediately added: "But you must obey my arrangement, and you must not mess around."

With the full promise of the other party, the two set off to the foot of the mountain together.

Regarding the formation of the Guardian Exorcist Squad and the development of Muxi Harbor, Todd has a general plan in mind, but he needs to do some research first.

Huggins, who has a wide network of contacts, a flexible mind, and a local, is naturally the best person for consultation.

When they arrived at the smelting field at the foot of the mountain, they walked around the expanded smelting furnace. Todd didn't see Huggins, but he found Edgar, who was sullen, and Jerry, who looked depressed.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Todd asked a little puzzled: "What's wrong with you?"

When Edgar saw Todd, his complaints immediately found an outlet: "Don't mention it! In order to cure the stupid big man, we took him to the downtown circus, spent money to enter the haunted house, found a rope and tied him to a wooden post. Unexpectedly, after only a minute, he was so scared that he cried, broke the rope, twisted the post, and beat the staff who pretended to be ghosts half to death. Finally, the haunted house was burned down with a fire!"

Pointing his fingers, the little brat calculated the same thing: "Personnel medical expenses, material maintenance expenses, props purchase expenses, tent repair expenses, audience scare expenses... All the money we earned in three days was posted in it! Luckily no one was killed, otherwise I would be banned for life!"

Todd looked at Jerry, whose head was getting lower and lower, and sighed deeply. From this point of view, using scares to stimulate adrenal parasites does not seem to be a good way.

Karin beside him suddenly laughed.

"Such a scene must be very interesting!" The girl's speech surprised several others: "Think about it, when the fire ignited, people ran away and were in chaos like animals with their tails on fire. Don't you think that scene is funny?"

Rather than helping Jerry get rid of the violent troubles, Todd suddenly felt that he should put correcting Miss Foreman's "three-view problem" at the top of his agenda.

"How can this be so funny?!" Edgar straightened up, with a righteous expression on his face: "The props and tents were burned to the point of being unusable, the performer will have to recover from his injuries for more than a month, and the performance will have to be suspended for a long time!"

Karin raised her head upon hearing this, revealing the face under the monk's hood.

Edgar saw that face clearly, his body started to tremble immediately, his voice raised three degrees unconsciously, and his tone became like a star-chasing fan in his previous life: "Black...Miss Black Sheep! I didn't know you would come here, your performance is my favorite!"

It was only then that Todd remembered that Karin's decision to stay in the monastery seemed to be known only to Huggins except himself.

The girl answered the topic just now: "The fire..."

"It was burning so brightly that it was full of smoke and smoke! At that time, people from the entire circus came to put out the fire. You don't know, the scene was really..."

Hearing Edgar's sudden change of tone and exaggerated talk about the book, Todd closed his eyes and couldn't help but shook his head and thought to himself, boy, can you still show some face?

After listening for a while, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he had no choice but to interrupt the little boy: "Where's Huggins? Why didn't I see anyone else?"

Edgar stopped talking, scratched the back of his head with his hands, thought for a while, and whispered to himself: "It seems that it doesn't matter if I tell you now..."

Um?

What do you mean by that?

Edgar pointed his finger to the southwest: "Start from here and walk in that direction for half an hour. There is a village. Uncle Huggins has gone there."

Seeing the other party's secretive look, Todd didn't ask any more questions, and set off directly with Karin, rushing to the village.

Edgar also followed. It seemed that he wanted to have a few words with Miss Black Sheep, but he didn't have the guts. He just followed behind the two of them, step by step.

Little Jerry, who just made a mistake, didn't want to stay alone in the smelting field, but he was afraid of being scolded, so he just followed from a distance.

When he arrived at the village, Todd saw from a distance that Huggins was hiding behind a tree in a wretched posture, and was secretly looking at a wooden house ahead.

Todd turned his head around, ignored the reluctance on the girl's face, and strictly ordered Karin to stay where she was and not to approach her. Full of curiosity, he climbed behind a big rock behind Hudgens with his hands and feet, and secretly watched the man in front of him.

Huggins hid behind the tree, looked at the hut in front of him, and whispered to himself: "Why don't you come out?"

Todd hid by the stone, peeked at Huggins in front of him, and wondered: "What are you doing?"

Karin hid behind, looked at Todd who was not far away, and growled angrily: "You always don't want to bring me to play!"

Edgar stood not far behind Karin, looked at the black sheep, and suddenly remembered something: "I should have asked for an autograph just now!"

Little Jerry sat at the back, looked at all the people in front of him, put his arms around his knees and said, "I'm hungry..."

Finally, the door of the hut opened.

A woman with a pretty face walked out of the room with a basket in her hand, followed by a cute girl about ten years old. The two talked and laughed and walked into the distance.

Huggins moved.

I saw this man, watching the two people go farther and farther, untied a heavy cloth bag from his waist, tiptoed to the window, opened the locked window with a thin hook, and threw the cloth bag in his hand directly. Hearing the sound of heavy coins colliding from the room, Huggins nodded contentedly, and then ran back shortly.

A black thread at Todd's end.

What kind of coquettish operation is this?
