Alien Knights

A flying knife was thrown into the air, passing through layers of apple branches and leaves. An agile figure flashed three times on the trajectory of the flying knife, made various incredible movements, and finally stood firmly on the ground as the flying knife landed.

The girl held a green apple in each of her left and right hands, and she still had one in her mouth. With a proud smile on her face, she looked at the nun in front of her.

Rachel smiled and clapped her hands: "Karin, that's great! In such a short period of time, you have been able to use your ability three times in a row. I am amazed at your progress!"

The girl's happiness only lasted for a while, and soon she made a bitter face again.

Rachel stood up leaning on her chest, looked at the other person's expression, and asked indifferently, "What? Did you think about the priest again?"

"I didn't even go to see you off..."

The nun touched the top of her head, and there was a rare tenderness in her words: "I once heard you talk about the heresy trial. At that time, the priest took the initiative to protect you, didn't he?"

Karin nodded in a depressed mood.

"Do you know what that means?" Seeing the other party shake her head slightly, the nun patted her forehead with a smile: "He is willing to give a part of his fate to your hands."

"Still don't understand? Let me put it another way. Todd said that there is no personal relationship between you and him. The only purpose you entered the monastery was to study books. But if you idle around all day and always go to him, what will others think and guess?"

Seeing that Karin's expression was a little dazed, Rachel patted the dust under her body, waved to her and said, "Come on, Karin, it's time to go back to town, let's not talk about these boring things, let's talk about some interesting topics... Well, for example, who did the priest learn alchemy from? Regarding alchemy, does he have any hidden treasures..."

The old craftsman Aiden Kom is in a very depressed mood now.

Having just had a big fight with his wife and children, he walked into the tavern he frequented on weekdays with an expression of resentment on his face, and found a table with two people already seated.

After ordering a pot of ale and ordering a plate of stewed beans, Aiden said to the other two, "How is it? How much did you get together?"

One person's voice was so low that it was almost indistinguishable: "Thirty-three copper stars."

The other person's voice was even lower: "Twenty-one bronze stars..."

Old Aiden twitched his face and sighed: "Your family doesn't agree with this idea either?"

The other two looked at each other and nodded.

The old craftsman took out a small money bag, put it on the table, touched the back of his head and said, "Including mine, the three of us should be able to fill up a silver moon. By the way, how is the market for the sacred bone now?"

One of them said: "Fifty Bronze Stars can definitely be bought, and if you counter the price, maybe you can get 48 or 49."

"Without Mr. Todd, I would be just a poor craftsman at the foot of the monastery mountain. Where would I get the money to recruit apprentices, buy tools, and even start my own workshop..." Old Aiden took a sip of his ale, pursed his lips and said, "My Father, how can mortals be ungrateful when they do things?"

Another person also nodded and said, "That's right, if it wasn't for the exorcism ceremony, if it wasn't for the holy son who sacrificed his life to save me, my soul might already be food for the devil, so why would I have the opportunity to sit here, drink and chat."

The rest of the people agreed again and again.

It turned out that these two people were two craftsmen who had "acute lead poisoning" rescued by Todd in the past...

Aiden Kom grabbed a handful of stewed beans and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing a few mouthfuls: "Someone outside said that Master Todd ran away with the money, and others said that he lost all the money. I don't believe it, even if the facts are as those people said, I don't care."

"We want to buy holy bones, but we don't have any money, what should we do?"

The old craftsman touched the ring keychain at his waist, and murmured: "My newly built workshop and the tools I bought, if I pawn it to a merchant, I should be able to scrape together a sum of money..."

"That's right! I also have some things that I can exchange for money."

In Muxi Town, conversations like this are not unique, but happen in every corner.

In the next few days, the price of the sacred bone of "Muxi Mutual Aid Fund" hit the bottom of 45 copper stars, and the sellers were mostly merchants, and those poor believers who had received Todd's favor or believed in his miracles all joined hands to "buy the bottom", which brought the price of the sacred bone back to 60 copper stars...

"Walton, you bought another holy bone?!"

Seeing the chunky man coming out of the church, Leslie looked at his companion speechlessly.

Walton dug his ear with his little finger, and gave the red-striped boy a disdainful look: "You don't know the way to go here, just relying on the one you saw last time...what is it..."

"microscope."

"Yes! Microscope! Just based on this, I feel that the priest will not let me down!"

Leslie pouted: "I thought you had a problem with him, but I didn't expect your position to be so unsteady."

Walton smiled: "As long as you give me the money to buy wine, he will draw my blood every day, and I don't care..."

Alfonso De Cavo stood on the top of the hill outside Muxi Town, and he had a panoramic view of the town.

The knight untied the armor on his chest, took out a copper pendant from under his neck, lightly pressed the button of the slot, and three strands of hair lay quietly in the copper shell.

"Boss, it's time for dinner." Adelina's voice came from behind, making Alfonso put away the pendant.

"The scenery here is so beautiful!" The white-robed woman combed her long hair blown by the breeze with her hands, looking at the sea, beach, fishing boats and houses below the hills, she couldn't help sighing.

The knight looked at the smoke rising from the chimneys of every house, and suddenly asked a question in a low voice: "What drives us to live on this earth, dotted the world day after day, year after year?"

Adelina was stunned for a moment by this strange question. She squatted down and touched a protruding vole with her fingers, and pushed her chin forward. The latter raised its front paw, nodded, and ran away.

"Maybe it's because I want to achieve something..."

Hearing the woman's answer, the knight turned his head and waited for the answer in silence.

Adelina watched the field mouse find a fallen fruit on the boulder not far away, jumped and dragged it into the nest, stood up, and said softly: "Before I lost my husband, I wanted to be a mother. Now, I hope to protect every woman who wants to be a mother..."

Alfonso closed his eyes, listened to the sound of the sea wind blowing past his ears, and tightly held the pendant on his chest.
