Alien Knights

The woman in a grass-green tight-fitting long dress sat on a chair with a velvet blanket, took a sip of the red wine in the glass, closed her eyes, and let the mellow wine in her mouth dance a few times on the tip of her tongue. Feng Yunping Ting's figure undulates with her breath, swaying and graceful.

"Smooth and smooth, moderately sweet and sour, with just the right amount of astringency. This must be the new wine produced in Adoriac. It is sunny in spring and picked at the beginning of summer..." The woman opened her eyes mistyly, her pretty face was full of intoxication, and she looked at the glass in her hand: "Red wine paired with this holy crystal object is really a perfect match. If you can add the "Roasted Fruit Feast" in Yinhuan City at this time, do you know? It is the most famous dessert in the royal family. Fruit slices soaked in honey , sprinkled with cashew nuts, almonds and pine nuts, baked on a slow fire, and bite down, the taste..."

"Do you like that glass and red wine? I'll give you all of them. Talk less and drink more!" Rude interrupted the other party's speech. The gray-haired old man sitting opposite the woman was wearing a sloppy work gown, with two long and thick white eyebrows shaking slightly.

Seeing the other party's rough drinking style, the woman cast a disdainful look, carefully wiped off the wine stains on the glass with the soft cloth she carried with her, wrapped it up, and put it in her carry-on suitcase.

"Let's talk about business, Theodore. Someone in the "Presbyterian Church" has been very dissatisfied with you recently." The words of the woman in green made the old man who was busy flipping through the papers not look up.

The woman was a little annoyed, and patted the table in front of her: "You spent three times as much last month as last month, and you still refuse to report your research progress, and you are sending fewer and fewer alien species to the 'Legion of Discord'."

"By the way, there was also the battle at Fort Watch last week. Not only did the experimental items of the "Relief Society" fail to complete the task, but I heard that they violated orders and fled the battlefield without authorization. Do you know? For this matter, I spent a lot of effort to settle the group of barbarians in the north!"

The woman was about to continue complaining when there was a steady knock on the door of the room. The old man put down the bottle and tapped three times on the arm of the chair. A man dressed as a farmer opened the door and came in, walked up to the old man, knelt down and whispered something.

"Oh! Come?!"

The old man raised his thick eyebrows, his attitude was very different from the attitude just now, and he happily put down the paper in his hand.

The woman in green sitting across from him took a sip of her wine and said with a smile, "Is our guest here?"

Theodore raised his eyebrows, glared at the other party, and shouted angrily: "Rachel, remember, that's my guest, you came here uninvited!"

The woman didn't pay any attention to the old man's harsh words. She wiped off the wine stains on her lips with a plain white handkerchief and straightened the wrinkles on her clothes. She said with a smile, "What's the matter? When I came to see you, I just heard that this distinguished guest was coming to visit. We can meet each other, which can be regarded as a fateful encounter. Besides, I really have something to do, and I hope to talk to that person..."

"Rachel, don't blame me, the old man, for not warning you. This is my territory. You'd better put away the dirty tricks of the "Presbyterian Church"!" Violence flashed in the old man's eyes, he cleaned up the papers on the table, and said to the waiter: "Bring the guests to the main living room, and let the chefs start preparing dinner, the best dinner!"

———————————

Precious oil paintings, expensive carpets, and shiny gold ornaments, Todd stood in an extremely luxurious reception hall, with an extremely discordant sense of contradiction in his mind.

The place with such a high-end decoration and such a luxurious interior, in terms of location and appearance, is actually a farm works warehouse in an inconspicuous small village in the south of the Yuexi Plain, less than a day away from Muxi Town by carriage.

Seemingly seeing the doubt in Todd's eyes, he tilted his throat and said in a strange tone: "I will see the president later, no matter what he says or does, please maintain the necessary respect, um... he is a bit... weird..."

Todd looked at the other party with a cold face: "Can he be weirder than you?"

Throatbone stared into Todd's eyes and said, "Father, remember my words, never try to provoke this old man."

Todd was about to ask again when a loud voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Mr. Todd! I've wanted to see you for a long time, but unfortunately I haven't been able to find time. I didn't expect you to come to me first!" An old man in a workshop overalls walked towards him quickly, with a thick and tall figure, a tough face, and thick white eyebrows that were unforgettable.

Todd was a little surprised. He turned his eyes to the larynx for verification. The old man in front of him, no matter his appearance or attire, looked very much like a blacksmith. Could it be the president of the "Relief Society"? !

Throatbone rolled his eyes, shrugged, and nodded.

Todd was in a hurry, wearing the gray lab coat he wore under his cloak. The old man walked in front of him, looked at the long coat covered in colorful reagents on the other party, and then glanced at himself. The workshop suit that looked like a canvas showed a rare joy and joy on his face. He patted the opponent on the back hard, and laughed loudly. Although it was the first time we met, it was like an old friend who hadn't seen for many years. Theodore pulled Todd, who looked shocked, affectionately, and led him to the depths of the hall.

When the latter walked through the room, a pale green figure flashed past his eyes, but he couldn't remember the face, only the blue eyes and Yingbo still remained in his mind.

Following in the footsteps of the president of the "Relief Society", he pushed open the door at the end of the hall, and a room appeared in front of Todd, which made him almost forget to think. There are several huge wooden tables inside, and they are full of things he is very familiar with.

The sketch of the furnace body for refining silver, the preparation materials for chemical experiments, the flow chart paper for preparing reagents, and even a copy of a self-made microscope!

"Here...here is..." Todd looked a little dazed, it was like a replica of his own laboratory, except that the materials were rougher and the utensils were imitated, but it could be seen that the masters who made these had put a lot of effort into it.

Theodore picked up a sketch of a refining furnace, and said happily: "I specially asked an artist to draw this. I still have a wooden model of this furnace, but it's a pity that it's not here."

He picked up another blueprint full of chemical equations and reaction paths, and said loudly: "This is the note that I bribed those greedy people to transcribe for me on the way the church transported your alchemy materials to Silver Ring City. This is already a manuscript that I read every day."

Then, he carefully picked up the imitation microscope, and said happily: "This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen! This instrument of yours is simply a work of genius, it can magnify everything a hundred times. Through it, I can see many things that I couldn't see before, it's amazing..."

"Mr. President..." Seeing the old man talking more and more excitedly, Todd was a little puzzled. Could it be that the other party came to him just to show him this?
