Alien Knights

Old Aiden, who was running all the way, saw a group of people gathered in front of his hut, shouting something before he reached the door.

Quietly dodging the crowd at the front door, Aiden, who crawled into his living room through the back window, saw his sons and daughters blocking the door with their bodies.

The appearance of the old craftsman made the eyes of the family brighten. His old wife rushed up and immediately asked, "Where's the holy bone? You didn't agree to sell the holy bone, did you?!"

Seeing Aiden shaking his head, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The eldest son, who was doing odd jobs in the workshop, said with a smile, "I have a friend who works in Yinhuan City. He said that a few days ago, an auction was held in the city, and even the king and queen attended. The auction is the things shipped out of our town! The flowers grown by the farmers who borrowed the "Muxi Mutual Aid Fund"!"

Aiden's old wife blinked and added: "I heard it sold for a lot of money!"

The old craftsman took a deep breath and murmured, "That means..."

A voice suddenly came from outside the door: "The Holy Son is back!"

———————————

A golden nest and a silver nest can never compare with one's own doghouse.

Todd now has a deep understanding of this sentence. The moment he stepped into Muxi Town, he suddenly had a feeling of complete relaxation, just like an otaku who has been away for many days, returning to his hut full of "chestnut flower fragrance".

The convoy stopped on the square in front of the church.

To the royal guards who were responsible for escorting him, after the request to stay overnight was declined, Todd watched the group of hard-working guards set off on their way home. Turning his gaze to the wooden box full of coins in the convoy, he motioned for people to tell all the residents of the town to gather in the square.

In fact, there was no need to notify at all. Todd gave the gift of the heavenly father to those farmers, so that the flowers grown by the latter were sold for a high price in Yinhuan City. This matter has already spread throughout the streets and alleys of Muxi Town. The men put down the work in their hands, the women threw away the scrubbing clothes, and the children gathered in the square early, occupying a good position with a wide view for their families.

When Todd finished grooming, put on a set of clean clothes, and walked out of the church gate. The catechumens had already set up a simple circular wooden platform, and three heavy wooden boxes were placed on it in the shape of "pin".

Todd whispered to Huggins next to him: "How is it? Is everyone here?"

The man looked at the crowd that packed the square, and nodded towards the priest: "I have read the church register, and everyone who holds the relic has come."

Todd nodded, and stood on the wooden platform under the gaze of the residents.

The uproarious voices gradually calmed down, and everyone was waiting for the priest to say something.

However, Todd didn't seem to have any intention of speaking. He asked Huggins to stand on the wooden platform and whispered something in his ear.

After listening to the priest's whisper, Huggins opened his eyes wide, stood up straight, looked at the crowd of people in the audience, swallowed his saliva, and said in embarrassment: "My lord, are you sure? This is not good, there are so many people here, what should I do if something happens?"

Todd gave him a reassuring look.

Huggins gritted his teeth and nodded. Under the amazed gaze of everyone in the square, he drew out the long sword at his waist and slashed at the wooden board of the box.

Flying sawdust, piercing sounds, and the things in the wooden box gradually revealed their true colors under the sunlight.

The silver light pierced into the eyes of the audience.

As the box broke, the silver coins poured onto the wooden platform like "sea water" breaking through the dam, and instantly flowed into a silver "ocean".

People's exclamations and praises became one, and everyone rushed forward. What made Huggins feel relieved was that people just crowded forward to watch, and there was no riot.

Huggins took out a document from his waist, and read aloud according to the text on it: "Thank you for the grace of the heavenly father! Thank you for the blessings of this miraculous place in Muxi Town! I also thank the residents who contributed to the "Muxi Mutual Aid Fund"! This time, the farmers in Muxi Town sold their products in Yinhuan City. A total of 2070 silver moons!"

There was another exclamation from the crowd.

The man continued: "In order to thank God for the gift! First, one-tenth of the proceeds from the sale will be taken as the sacred management fund, which will be temporarily stored in the church, totaling 207 silver moons. Next, the farmers in Muxi Town will be given priority in paying the labor remuneration. According to the labor remuneration of 30 copper stars per household per day, 384 silver moons will be paid; the last remaining 1,479 silver moons will be distributed according to the proportion of the holy bones held. That is, for every holy bone held, 14 silver moons and 79 copper stars will be distributed."

Everyone was in an uproar, the investment of 1 silver month, in just one and a half months, can actually get about 15 times the income!

Seeing that Huggins led his men, they first took out part of the "silver coin sea" in front of them and put them in the church, then took out part and handed them to the tearful Sassoon, and finally divided the remaining coins into one hundred equal parts.

At this time, among the people in the audience, some were ecstatic, some were filled with regret, some were envious and jealous...

It took a total of more than half an hour to distribute the coins. When there was nothing left on the wooden platform, only the dust blown up by the breeze, Huggins stood on the platform again and announced the three latest decisions to the public:

1. Father Todd plans to establish an organization called "Music Mutual Aid Society" on the basis of "Muxi Mutual Aid Fund".

2. The purpose of "Muxi Mutual Aid Society" is to help Muxi Town develop industries and improve people's livelihood.

The specific implementation method is as follows:

① "Muxi Mutual Aid Society" plans to sell 1,000 holy bones in the initial stage, and the starting price is 1 silver month.

②Users who have previously purchased "Muxi Mutual Aid Fund" and participated in the distribution of income can purchase holy bones according to the initial price within 30 days.

③ After the 30-day priority purchase period, the sacred bones that have not been bought will be sold by auction.

④The number of holy bones held by each person shall not exceed 50, and the holy bones can be freely transferred. But the transfer must be registered with the church, otherwise it will be deemed invalid.

⑤ The purchaser and transferor of the sacred bone must be a legal resident, that is, a person who owns real estate and settles in Muxi Town.

⑥Anyone who owns the holy bones, if they move out of Muxi Town without authorization during the holding period, it will be deemed as giving up the income, and the holy bones will be confiscated by the church.

3. Farmers in Muxi Town plan to establish "Gospel Flower Workshop", and "Muxi Mutual Aid Society" plans to contribute 200 silver months to participate in this project and obtain the right to benefit from it. The funds are mainly used for the establishment of stores, material purchases, personnel training, product transportation and sales liaison.

Because there were too many and complicated things to announce, after Huggins finished speaking, he asked someone to transcribe the above information on paper and posted it on the town's notice board.

In the next few days, Muxi Town was as lively as boiling water.

Huggins and his twelve subordinates took the dividend money to buy some equipment for themselves and a lot of things for their family.

Alfonso and his followers took the money and built a two-story hut near the hills for four people to live in.

Edgar and Jerry moved out of the guard camp and rented a big house in the town to live in.

The two fake nuns, Rachel and Karin, got the most money among these people. But I don't know what these two people are thinking, they actually plan to build a hotel next to the newly built nunnery with the money they earned, and they even chose the name - "Sisters Hotel".

After arranging the affairs of "Muxi Mutual Aid" and "Gospel Flower Workshop", Todd ignored the affairs of the outside world because he had more important things to do.

In the main hall of the laboratory, Todd asked Alfonso to sit on a square stool and began to study the "keel" parasite on him.

According to the biological classification method of FEG Cox in 2003 in the previous life, the organisms in the world can be roughly divided into six kingdoms: the kingdom of bacteria, the kingdom of protozoa, the kingdom of animals, the kingdom of fungi, the kingdom of plants, and the kingdom of colorworms.

But some of its features make this classification uncertain.

Two giant "keel" parasites, one female and one male, hugged the knight's shell, with multiple limbs protruding from the inside of the insect body, tightly bound the limbs, head and neck of the host with tentacles and hooked jaws.

When Alfonso took off the iron helmet on his head, Todd took a few steps back in fright, because the face in front of him really looked a bit like the protagonist in "The Predator vs the Opposite Sex" - the Predator.

Dozens of small and sharp limbs of the "keel" parasite spread up from the knight's neck, like a big hand, tightly wrapping his entire head from behind.

Todd checked up and down again and found a strange thing. It stands to reason that parasites should rely on the nutrients in the host's body as the basis for survival, but how do the "keel" parasites cover the human body to absorb nutrients from the host? How to carry out metabolic activities?

Walking behind Alfonso, using the ability of "see through", Todd finally saw the truth.

The parasite covering the human spine has dozens of sharp hooks protruding from the inside, piercing into the knight's spinal fluid as a source of nutrients for daily activities; on the central spine of the parasite, there is also a row of densely distributed small holes. As the parasite opens and closes, some liquid is secreted from the inside, which looks a bit like a metabolic hole.

After the observation, Todd began to plan how to help Alfonso take off the "parasite armor" on his body.

After some comparison, he decided to try a commonly used medical anesthetic - ether.

After dehydrating the alcohol with sulfuric acid, this organic solvent can be obtained. It is very stable when it is isolated from the air. As long as the concentration reaches 109.08~196.95g/m3 (3.6-6.5%), it can make the human body unconscious. Since the "keel" parasite belongs to the maxillofacial superfamily of the animal kingdom, the use of ether should have a certain effect.

The difficulty lies in two key points.

First, we must grasp the level of concentration. Ether has low toxicity, and if the concentration is not controlled properly, it will produce strong sexual stimulation to both the host and the parasite.

2. The oxide of ether is extremely unstable, and its vapor can mix with air to form an explosive mixture.

In the end, Todd set up a darkroom and found a container similar to a sauna barrel, leaving Alfonso's head exposed and his body sealed in the barrel. After half an hour of "watertight method" ether gas distribution, only the sound of objects falling in the barrel was heard.

The parasite limbs on the knight's head slowly opened, and the whole person collapsed on the barrel.

The "keel" parasite has fallen off...
