Alien Knights

Stepping on the blue stone bricks and walking in the magnificent sanctuary, Todd was finally able to see the world with his own eyes again.

In the long central hall of the main hall, there is a cylindrical vault made of stone above the head, high side windows are distributed on both sides of the roof, and the floor and walls are alternately paved with dark and light marble. Metal grilles, carved stone screens, choir seats, pulpit woodcuts, sculptures of the Holy Spirit.

Spinning around, looking at everything around him, Todd was amazed.

In his previous life, he never thought that one day he would be able to travel to such a medieval world.

A monk in a gray robe walked past him and cast a strange look.

Looking through the wide robes, Todd saw blood and organs in their chests. When the monks looked at their leader, Huggins, their hearts beat faster, and their footsteps became hurried.

nervous? fear?

Turning his gaze back to the man in front of him, Todd found that Hudgens had a standard Slavic face, with a long skull, high forehead, low cheekbones, thin lips, slightly protruding chin, tall and thin, pale face, and a neatly combed goatee tied into a pigtail.

But after a few days of getting along, Todd felt more and more that there was really nothing scary about this man. His appearance is just an appearance. Huggins is calm and thoughtful, but he has a cheerful personality and loves to sing. There is only one place that makes people a little concerned.

Hudgens had worn a pair of leather gloves from the first encounter, and was never caught taking them off during the journey.

Todd also tried to use the perspective ability to see the secrets under the glove, but what he saw was a mass of things surrounded by black mist.

Perhaps Huggins, a man, also has his own secrets...

It took more than an hour to walk around. Along the way, with the help of Huggins' introduction, Todd gradually got a general understanding of the place and era he was in.

Judging from the degree of civilization development, the world I traveled to has a level of technology and culture similar to that of medieval Europe in the late 12th and early 13th centuries in my previous life.

From the perspective of geographical environment, according to the achievements of navigators and cartographers, the whole world is divided into a continent and several islands.

The extreme northern tip of the continent is covered by ice and snow all the year round, and the rest of the land is divided into several terrain regions by three horizontal and two vertical mountains, two large and three small lakes.

The archipelago in the northwest, the plains in the central west and southwest, the highlands and snowfields in the northeast, the desert in the central east, and the grasslands in the southeast.

From the perspective of country distribution and religious regions, the central and western regions are composed of the Papal State and the Secular State. Most of them believe in God, similar to Christianity in previous lives. The place where Todd is located is the San Sidro Monastery next to the Silver Ring Kingdom in the western coastal area.

Speaking of the San Sidro Monastery, this building with a history of nearly a hundred years is a landmark building in the Yuexi Plain. In order to commemorate the ascetic monk Sidro, the Silver Ring Kingdom built the prototype of this monastery in 1031. At the beginning of its construction, it was just a small gathering area for monks with only three buildings: the Ritual Room, the Holy Word Hall, and the Rest House. After nearly a hundred years of renovation and expansion, the San Sidro Abbey expanded and became a well-known religious place in the southwestern countries.

Hundreds of monks gathered here, adhering to hermit-like monasticism, yearning for inner peace and piety.

Huggins told him so.

But as the visiting line in the basement of the monastery got deeper and deeper, Todd became more and more suspicious of this statement.

The dark and long corridor, the swaying and weird torches, the wet and dark floor.

If he hadn't just walked through that bright and holy place, no one could have imagined that this seemed to be the passage of the catacombs, which happened to be built under the monastery.

The two walked to the end of the corridor, and a door shining with metallic luster appeared in front of Todd's eyes.

These four sentences are engraved on the door.

"as it is;"

"as out;"

"As above;"

"As it is."

Who came up with such funny four sentences? !

With question marks all over his head, Todd followed the tall man into an underground chapel.

The statue of the Holy Father stands tall on the top of the underground hall. Although the appearance is the same as in the church, the dim light of the fire always gives him a different illusion.

Master Myris stood on the high podium, and the clothes on his body looked much more formal than before. He is wearing a distinctive trumpet-sleeved robe with an inverted triangle-shaped neckline. The clothing and hat brim are decorated with several embossed patterns, and are stitched with gold and silver threads.

Below him, there were several benches, on which three men and a woman sat.

The moment Todd walked into the lobby, everyone focused their attention on him.

Todd, who was a little nervous and didn't know how to deal with himself, was pushed by the person behind him. Looking back, what I saw was the encouraging and approving smile on Huggins' big face.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Todd walked up to Master Miles, looking at the old man's warm smiling face, he always felt like he had strayed into an MLM organization.

"Today, we are gathered here to witness the addition of a new member."

"This child, who was born in a farming family and has not received any education from the church, has unlocked the "Box of Proverbs"..."

Someone in the audience made a surprised sound.

Master Melis looked at the expressions of the audience with a bit of mischief, and after people calmed down, he calmly threw out a bigger news: "He came into contact with the 'Sutherland Relic'..."

"Oh my God!"

"What?!"

Several people exclaimed loudly, and some even kicked down the bench beneath them.

The old man raised his eyebrows, and seemed to be quite satisfied with everyone's reaction: "I announce that, as a heterogeneous species, he is now officially a member of our family."

Beckoning to Todd, Master Myris signaled Todd to follow him and walk among the crowd below.

With his palms up, the old man drew a half-circle towards the men and women in front of him, and finally pointed to himself and said to Todd: "Child, as far as you can see, we are all aliens. What are aliens? Different from ordinary people, we have more or less abilities that ordinary people do not have. This is the blessing and favor bestowed on us by God. Hurry up. So the heterogeneous people can only protect themselves by condensing into a family and hiding their abilities...Come to me, and I will introduce you to your family members..."

The two first stopped in front of a middle-aged man and woman bowing their heads. Master Myris said, "This is the Raglan couple. They run a bakery in the town and are also in charge of the monastery's material transactions and food supply."

Looking at the forty-year-old, short, fat, kind-looking middle-aged couple in front of him, Todd also bowed and bowed in accordance with the other party's appearance. Unexpectedly, taking advantage of his inattention, Mrs. Raglan directly pinched Todd's cheek with her hands, and looked at his teeth curiously.

"They say that even the bones of those who touch the relics will turn into gold..."

Hearing his wife's nonsensical words, Mr. Raglan hurriedly opened her hand and apologized to the boy in a hurry.

Master Melis rolled his eyes, and led his followers to a tall, thin man with a silly smile and a harmless face.

Watching the other party stand up from the seat, Todd raised his head and opened his mouth in surprise.

Huggins was already tall in his impression, but compared with this thin, tall man who looked like a bamboo pole, he became a veritable short man.

My God, 1.8 meters? No, it's probably closer to two meters.

"This is little Jerry. He just celebrated his eighteenth birthday the day before yesterday. He is a pious and kind child."

Hearing the old man's introduction, Todd was surprised again.

If you can grow up like this at the age of eighteen, wouldn't you grow up to the sky in a few more years? !

Moreover, listening to the name, Little Jerry... It always reminds people of the omnipotent little mouse in "Tom and Jerry", the contrast is too great.

"That's Edgar..."

According to Todd's words, there was a lonely figure of a thin boy in the corner of the lobby, and his cold eyes seemed a little uncomfortable.

"He is our messenger and our liaison." Master Myris looked around the lobby and asked, "Where are Marcos and the 'Black Sheep'?"

Mrs. Raglan moved to Todd's side, and replied respectfully: "Marcos has gone to Fort Watch in the east, and there is no news about him yet."

Edgar coldly dropped a sentence: "The 'Black Sheep' followed the circus and went to perform in the next city. Before she left, she said that compared to the boring life here in the monastery, she felt more at ease there."

After saying this, he turned around and disappeared into the aisle.

Hearing the melancholy sigh of the old man beside him, Todd suddenly felt that the MLM organization he joined had done a very bad job of brainwashing...
