Alien Knights

Todd was startled by Alfonso's strange behavior and sat back down.

The knight propped up his body with his hands, and blood gushed out from his back, soaking the ground under him. He walked towards the priest step by step, with his big sword raised flat, always pointing towards the latter's chest: "Sorry, priest, I don't know how you became the 'Sutherland's successor'... But I know, if I help you out now, your pain will be less..."

Alfonso's words baffled Todd.

What is "liberation"? What is "less pain"?

A stone hit the knight's body, and in the next second, Karin, who was holding a dagger, cut a deep bone wound on the former's wrist like a mad cat.

Alfonso, who was in pain, could no longer hold the long sword in his hand and fell to the ground.

Leslie let out a roar, and he limped in front of the captain, glaring at the girl who succeeded in the sneak attack, and the flame in his hand rose again.

The situation suddenly became tense, and the four people who had just fought side by side turned into two groups fighting for life and death in the blink of an eye.

Stopping the furious Karin with his hands, Todd decided to break the deadlock first: "I don't understand, why do you have any reason to say that I am the 'successor of Sutherland'?"

Pulling off the cloth strips from his jacket, wrapping the cut on the knight's wrist, looking at the huge wound on his back, the helpless Leslie yelled at Todd in a resentful tone: "Do you still want to deny it?! Ordinary aliens have only one ability in their bodies, and very few people may have two related abilities. Only those monsters that have been in contact with the "Sutherland Relic" will have more than three unrelated abilities! You just used "see through", "speed" and "weakness" 』Three different skills without any correlation!"

So it is!

Sutherland archaea can indeed allow the body to accept a variety of supernatural powers, and this judgment sounds reasonable.

At this time, Todd also understood the reason why the two of them looked strange and stood by when he and Karin faced the monster just now.

But at this time, he had more questions.

Looking at the knight whose breath was getting weaker and weaker, and remembering the scene where he faced him with a sword just now, Todd sighed slightly, and decided to put down the problem in his mind first and try to save the opponent's life first.

He took out alcohol, needles and threads, and medicine powder from his pocket. He was about to walk towards Alfonso when he saw Leslie raise the slingshot and aim at him.

"Monster of Sutherland! Get away from us!"

No matter how good-natured people are, they can't stand the constant barking of monsters and monsters.

"If you want to watch him die, I can turn around and leave now." As Todd said this, he showed Leslie the items in his hand one by one.

Karin quietly pulled La Tode's clothes: "No one in the church is a good person! Don't save him, he just wanted to kill you!"

The latter shook his head towards the girl, and said softly: "In the battle against the pirates, if the Holy See knight hadn't made a timely move, I'm afraid I would have become a pile of dead bones now... I owe him a favor..."

Turning his gaze to Leslie, Todd said in a deep voice: "I repeat, Alfonso De Cavo once saved my life, and I just want to return the favor."

Leslie bit his lip and glanced at Alfonso's back. The wound that was still bleeding made him hesitate and indecisive about Todd's proposal.

At this moment, the knight opened his eyes and said softly, "Let him come over."

Leslie put down the slingshot as promised and got out of the way.

Todd squatted beside Alfonso and began to examine the wound on his back. There was a huge hole in his armor, and under the metal armor, an iron-gray parasite with a hard shell covered the knight's entire back. Looking at it from above, it seems that there is another layer of gray "hard armor" under the armor.

Next, after checking his whole body, Todd realized that the part of the parasite he saw on his back was just the tip of the iceberg. The knight actually had two similar parasites on him, and these two parasites were so large that they covered almost every corner of Alfonso's body. One parasite has its main body on its back and the other has its main body on its front chest. These two parasites with similar "looks" "embrace" each other through tentacles and joints, forming a complete "worm body breastplate".

Slowly taking off the armor on Alfonso's body, Todd made a new discovery. It turned out that the parasite on the back, on the knight's head and upper limbs, had extended parasite joints covering the entire head, nape of the neck, arms, and palms; the parasite on the front chest had extended parasite joints covering the genitals, thighs, calves, and soles of his feet on his legs and feet.

These joints are made up of sections of bones that are as hard as steel, and when you tap them with your fingers, they can even emit metal echoes, which shows how solid they are.

These arthropods can not only provide knights with armor-like protection, but also are light and stretchable, which increases the strength, agility and jumping ability of the host in disguise.

Looking at the "Parasite Armor" in front of him, Todd suddenly remembered inexplicably, the "Mechanical Exoskeleton" seen in the science fiction novels of his previous life. The two are really similar, but one is a machine and the other is a worm.

"When are you going to see it? Don't you rush to save the boss?!" Leslie's anxious cry made Todd wake up.

Patronizing on looking at parasites, satisfying curiosity, and forgetting the business of saving lives.

The blow from the giant ax broke the parasite's arthropod on the back and injured the ribs on Alfonso's back. Fortunately, due to the protection of the parasite armor, the knight's bones were only slightly displaced, but it was just some scary-looking flesh wounds.

After disinfecting the wound on the knight's back with alcohol, he roasted the copper needle he carried with him in Leslie's hands for a while. Todd stitched up the wound stitch by stitch and covered it with powder to help it heal faster.

Compared with human wounds, the broken limbs of parasites are more troublesome.

In the end, it was decided to use the method of bone grafting. After butting the gaps in the joints and limbs, sprinkle with medicinal powder, and finally wrap them with cloth strips. This is the only thing that can be done.

After completing the above treatment procedures, Todd was sweating profusely. He is a researcher, not a doctor, and he only has a general understanding of the surgical operations of suturing wounds and setting bones. In the final analysis, the technique is unfamiliar and the effect is doubtful.

But what made him somewhat proud was that at least Leslie and Karin were stunned by his own hand.

Todd packed up the medicine bottles and materials, looked at Alfonso, whose face was turning a little bloody, and said angrily: "You saved my life once, and I will save yours once. In terms of human relations, we are both settled. Tell me about your attempt to kill me. I need an explanation."

He gestured to Leslie to help him sit up, took off his armor, but the knight still wearing the iron mask looked into Todd's eyes, and the first sentence he spoke made the latter's veins throb: "'Sutherland's Relic' has never been a gift from a sage, it is a curse from a demon..."
