Alien Knights

Watching the syringe in his hand pierced into the vein of his arm, Todd slowly pushed the wooden push rod. With the ability of "perspective" and "Eagle Eye", he saw with his own eyes the liquid full of a large amount of "Sutherland archaea" flowing into his blood vessels.

For the next few days, he had to take blood tests every morning and evening. What made him finally relieved was that there was no sign of any archaeal mutation in his body. In addition, there is another unexpected joy, the reproduction speed of other heterogeneous bacteria in the body actually decreased and eventually stagnated.

Looking at blood samples under a microscope, he also found the reason. The influx of a large number of "Sutherland archaea" caused all the heterogeneous bacteria to be locked and imprisoned, and naturally they could not continue to reproduce.

After confirming the effect of "Sutherland Archaea", Todd collected data, designed a plan, and planned to start fulfilling his original promise: to help Huggins and Edgar solve the poisoning problem of heterogeneous bacteria.

When he left the laboratory and was about to go out, a large group of people gathered at the door of the church attracted his attention.

Someone spotted him and shouted, "The priest is here!"

People rushed forward and surrounded him.

Todd looked at the urgent expressions of everyone and wondered in his heart. Although I haven't appeared in the church for nearly three weeks, if I want to confess or pray, I can go to the deacon and catechumen, and I am so anxious to find out why I am so anxious.

After a little questioning, he understood what was going on.

These people came to him to register the sacred bone transaction.

As he said at the beginning, the holy bones worth 1 silver moon can be bought and sold freely, but they must come to the church to register. But when he actually opened the record book and started to register, he realized that something was wrong.

The transaction price of these human holy bones has actually dropped from 1 silver month to 95 copper stars, and the lowest one has even dropped to 92 copper stars.

When Todd asked why the relic was sold at a low price, the seller had a shy expression on his face, but he hesitated and refused to speak.

Todd, who has two skills in observing words and expressions, was suddenly stunned when he saw this scene. It turned out that these people saw that three weeks had passed, and the "Muxi Mutual Aid Fund" hadn't paid anything back. They were anxious, regretful, and wanted to get rid of the holy bone in a hurry.

In front of everyone, the priest didn't say anything, and calmly helped everyone complete the registration procedures. Then he left the church and rushed to the large warehouse where "rose grafting" was carried out in the town.

To his surprise, the guards of the town completely treated the warehouse as a camp. The perimeter was surrounded by refusal horses, bell traps were set up at the entrance and exit, and wooden watchtowers were built at the four corners. Anyone who approached would be reprimanded to leave.

Apart from the farmers and the guards, the only people who can enter are yourself.

Thirty-two pots of grafted roses were placed on the square outside the warehouse, bathing in the sun and enjoying the breeze.

Thirty-two farmers with their wives and children stood or squatted beside each potted flower. Fertilizing, weeding, keeping fresh, removing insects, watering, careful movements, caring expressions, just looking at the appearance, these flowers are almost as ancestors...

Todd found Huggins here. It seems that these days, this man who used to be a knight of the Silver Ring Kingdom strictly abides by his mission and never leaves the warehouse. While being moved, the former signaled to the latter to go to the laboratory together later and have important matters to discuss.

Putting Huggins aside temporarily, Todd came to each rose plant and observed the grafting situation. The survival rate of the shoots is around 75%, which is neither good nor bad for a first try. Most of the rose branches have begun to sprout, and a small part has already shown signs of budding. I believe that in three weeks, we will see the first bunch of roses bloom.

Todd then instructed the farmers to cut off all the branches that failed to graft, and said several times but no one did it. In desperation, he could only do it himself. The farmers who were responsible for taking care of the rose saw the priest's actions, but cried out in grief, and some even used their bodies to protect the flower pots.

Todd really didn't understand. He repeatedly explained that only by cutting off these withered branches can the remaining flower buds grow better.

Still no one listened to him, and finally had no choice but to ask the guards to set up the farmer, and he did it himself to complete the pruning work.

Ignoring the distraught farmers and women, Todd and Hudgens returned to the lab.

As soon as he entered the door of the laboratory, the former first took off the gloves of the latter, and observed the poisoning of the "weakness" ability. Compared with the last time, the poisoning and atrophy of the flesh became more serious, and some bacteria even invaded the shoulder joints.

There is no doubt that the use of "Sutherland archaea" can heal Huggins' arm and prevent the spread of poisoning. But Todd is still hesitating because of two points.

1. Once Huggins is injected with archaea, it means that the other party will officially transform from a heterogeneous species to a member of the "Successor". Todd doesn't know whether the other party will change his values ​​and morals because of this.

2. "Sutherland Archaea" has the characteristics of causing death and mutation. Although injection experiments have been carried out on mice, it is the first time that human dosage experiments have been attempted. If too much archaea is injected, Huggins may be unable to resist and die immediately; but if too little archaea is injected, the balance of "Sutherland archaea" and "weakened" bacteria in Huggins' body may be broken, resulting in mutations.

After telling the man about these concerns, the other party didn't appear to be worried at all. He just rolled up his sleeves and said this to Todd, who was holding a syringe.

"I've already died once, and even if I die again, I'm only fulfilling the contract of the god of death. 』

Looking at the determined eyes of the other party, Todd nodded and pierced the needle of the syringe into Huggins' skin.

The first batch of "Sutherland archaea" was injected into Huggins' body. Although the dose of the bacteria had been reduced, the other party's painful struggles and mournful wailing seemed to be suffering eternal karma in hell. It made Todd think for a while that he was about to fail. However, the man survived in the end.

In the next few days, while observing Huggins' blood picture, Todd injected him with "Sutherland Archaea" several times. In less than four days, the black air in the opponent's palm gradually subsided, and the withered flesh and blood slowly showed signs of recovery.

After another three days, Huggins' blood values ​​showed that his vital signs were all normal, and Todd finally told him that you were safe.

On this day, in the long river of history, Huggins became the first alien species rescued by artificial "Sutherland archaea".
