In his previous life, Todd couldn't say anything about the way men courted, but he also knew a little about it. But Huggins's routine of taking advantage of a woman's absence from home, throwing money and running away is unheard of.

However, at this time, the most depressed person is still the person concerned.

Just when he thought he had done everything in secret and hummed a little tune on his way home, Huggins, like a ghost, watched as familiar faces slowly rose from the rocks, the bushes, and the back of the fence.

"You ......"

The man was a little confused, not knowing what to say next.

Todd walked up to him and gave him a complicated look.

The man instantly understood that he was thinking too much: "That's my wife and daughter. ”

The monk's eyes widened.

Huggins took the first step and dropped a sentence: "Let's talk as we go." ”

The group embarked on a journey back to the monastery.

The man slowly told Todd his story.

Huggins' family originated in the northern swamps of the Falling Star Mountains, where his ancestors made a living from rat hunting. There is such a strange disease inherited from generation to generation in the family, both men and women, and when they reach adulthood, their hands and feet will emit a black miasma, which can poison living creatures.

By Huggins' generation, the situation was getting worse and worse, the hands gradually became black and withered, the muscles lost their vitality, the nerves gradually paralyzed, and the toxic gas even penetrated the thick gloves and emitted into the air.

Soon after the man got married, he had a daughter, who was regarded as a pearl. It was supposed to be a beautiful family, but when her daughter was one year old, she fell into a coma due to a high fever. Huggins took his daughter to seek medical treatment, but she did not get any better, and the desperate man had to enter the convent of St. Sidlo and ask for the protection of his heavenly father.

At that time, he met Master Myris.

The other party examined the patient and told him an unbearable truth. The real cause of his daughter's illness came from his family's curse, and the only way to keep the child healthy was to keep Hudgens as far away from her as possible.

It was a painful choice.

Huggins took advantage of an accident to create the illusion of death, watched his coffin sink to the ground from afar, and listened to the heart-rending weeping of his wife and daughter, the man chose to turn around and walk into his own "purgatory".

It's only occasionally like this, and secretly gives the money saved by thrift to his wife and daughter......

After listening to this story, Todd looked at the side of Huggins' face and fell into deep thought. Most people only see the strength and beauty of the superpowers, but rarely pay attention to what they have lost and what they have paid.

Everyone wants to gain strength, but few are ready to bear the consequences that may come.

The monk touched his eyes and asked softly, "Huggins, if I told you that it was possible for you to live with your wife and daughter like a normal person, but you would take great risks, would you be willing?"

The man stopped, put his hands on Todd's shoulders, and his tone was more serious than ever: "If I can pick up my daughter again, I am willing to give everything I have, even if it is my life......"

"God grant you happiness, my daughter"

"Let all things be hopeful, and nothing will alarm you"

"Reminiscing about the golden years"

"From babbling to thriving"

"My daughter, dressed in a beautiful wedding dress"

"Oh, God-given Gospel for Comfort and Joy"

"My daughter has grown up and is going to get married today"

Huggins's singing rang out in the monk's ears again, only this time, Todd never spoke again.

——————————————

"You mean Twilight Harbor?" Huggins marked a cross on the map with a pencil, "Every year at the beginning of spring, the pirates of the Northern Isles row their animal kayaks, axes and torches. Sail through the misty seas, through the Riptide Strait, and land at the Twilight Seaport to loot every village in sight. ”

The man drew a circle with a radius of about fifteen kilometers on the map, centering on the harbor: "The range of attack of the pirates after they come ashore is about this large. If you run at this distance, you can control it to about forty-five minutes, which can not only avoid the pursuit of the army, but also return to the boat in time. ”

Placing the pen on the table, Huggins looked at the monk who was listening carefully, touched his chin, and said uncertainly: "I know a man who lives in a village by the sea, and I may know more from his mouth." ”

Todd nodded: "All information is priceless to us. We'll split up, you will be in charge of contacting the insiders, and I will prepare what we need next. ”

Back at the lab, Todd packed the necessary materials and had a light meal with Karin before heading to the smelter at the foot of the mountain.

He instructed the craftsmen to vacate a furnace for themselves, and then disperse all the people around the furnace, and put up a thick curtain around it to block everyone's view.

Todd did it himself, and Karin was the only assistant. This time, the thing to be made is still glass, but last time it was optical glass, and this time it is craft glass.

The materials are similar, but the processes are different.

Without going into details, let's start with the blowing phase.

First of all, the square iron pipe (hammered with wrought iron) is stretched into the high-temperature furnace to bring out the glass raw material, the main component is quartz sand, but the photosensitive material does not need to be added. Knead the raw material twice in red clay powder and color first. The colored raw material is then stretched into a rod shape and bent to form a handle.

Next, a lump of glass material is removed from an iron tube and blown to inflate. The most manual test is the next thing, which is to blow and shape the glass with wet wipes. During this time, once the glass has cooled slowly, it needs to be reheated and shaped. People with good craftsmanship can blow out a perfect shape by returning to the furnace two or three times, and those who are unfamiliar may have to return to the furnace seven or eight times.

Next, the colored glass exterior is connected to the main body and melted at high temperatures.

Finally, put it in a cooling place and let it dry for a day.

The steps sound simple, but the links that test the craftsmanship of craftsmen in the middle are many and complicated, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will lose all your efforts.

Originally, it was the best choice to let the craftsmen do the work for them, but Todd was willing to protect the technology and did not involve the craftsmen and apprentices.

As a result, his blown glasswork was crooked and pitted, but fortunately Karin was much better than him in this respect, and the finished product was good.

If it weren't for Todd's emergency call, the girl who blows the glass and blows the head would have been able to do it for an entire day.

Watching all the glass fire embryos put into the ventilation box, Todd repeatedly insisted to little Jerry, who was in charge of the guard, that no one was allowed to approach the place.

At the same time, Huggins returned with news from the Twilight Seaport.
