Todd eventually recruited 55 monks in the monastery, most of whom were young men from poor backgrounds. Unlike the old monks, they looked forward to life in the outside world and believed in Todd's "deeds of the Son."

After selecting 50 books from the monastery library on grammar, arithmetic, and the basics of geometry, Todd returned to Twilight with 55 monks. Before entering the town, I saw a "long line" of horse-drawn carriages waiting at the entrance of the town from a distance.

Huggins, who was in charge of maintaining order, saw Todd's team and hurriedly rushed over from a distance, watching the latter pay attention to the convoy, and explained directly: "Master Chief, the second season of 'Gospel Flowers' from the farmers of Twilight Town has begun to be sold, and these carriages are full of merchants from other towns who have come to buy. ”

Todd nodded, then turned to the southeast, where the xenomorph refugees brought by Richel were housed. Roughly counting the crowd working there, he frowned at Huggins and asked, "Did you notice that there seem to be more people over there than before?" ”

Huggins looked at the people around, approached Todd, and whispered, "My lord, during the days you went to the monastery, some xenomorphs were brought in there......"

Rubbing the bridge of his nose vigorously, Todd shook his head and led the monks into the town of Twilight. After instructing Huggins to protect all the books and arrange for the men to be fed and lodging, he went straight to the old Aiden's workshop.

The brick and stone workshop has been designated as a restricted area by Todd. Four of Huggins' subordinates guarded the corner of the workshop, forbidding anyone to approach it.

Walking into the scorching and stuffy workshop, a loud crash accompanied by a boiling heat wave rushed to the face.

Leslie's hot hands erupted with red flames, burning the stencil in the block slot. Rachel stretched out his hands forward, his forehead covered with sweat, and using the ability of "Mental Power", he raised the high-temperature softened block mold table into the air, aimed at the load-bearing table of the printing press, and carefully changed the shape and size.

Aiden Kom put his hands on gloves and compared the card slot with the mold, and while placing the copper ruler next to the hot mold, he said: "Shorten the top by five millimeters, pay attention to the straight line of the ruler." ”

Rachel slowly embedded the groove into the load-bearing table, and the craftsmen repeatedly compared the proportions and gaps between the parts, and finally let out a long breath and made a successful gesture towards Leslie and Rachel.

The nun lowered her arms and sat down on the ground, gasping for breath and sweat stains on her chest and back.

At this time, a room of people finally found Todd at the door.

"Your Excellency. Aiden hastily wiped his sweat with coarse linen and walked over to the priest.

Todd looked at the half-assembled press in the workshop and let out a sigh of admiration: "This is the third one. ”

Aiden nodded: "That's right, the first one took a bit of a detour and took some more time, and the last two were much easier." ”

"That's you! I'm so tired that I'm about to lie down!" Leslie shook her hot palms and stuck out her tongue and said, "I want to eat, I want to sleep!"

Todd patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry, you can rest next." These three printing presses are enough for the town of Twilight. ”

With that, Todd glanced at Rachel again, whose gaze met his. It's just that the woman didn't say anything, but the smile on her face made Todd's heart tremble.

Aiden and the other two craftsmen looked at the printing press that had just been loaded with the block mold, and were full of praise, looking at the boy and the nun with envy: "The ability of the different species is so convenient, if the craftsmen have these abilities, where do they need any iron hammers and hammers?"

Leslie took a sip of water, "You only see the convenience of the xenomorph ability, but you don't think that I will be awakened several times a day by the pain of burning my body in the middle of the night, and every time I use the ability, I need to rest for a long time. ”

When Todd heard this, he remembered the poisoning caused by Huggins' "debilitating" ability, and the atrophy of nerves caused by Edgar's "speed" ability. It seems that without the help of the Sutherland bacteria, any alien species of species would be affected by the negative abilities.

Thinking of this, Todd suddenly remembered Rachel. The woman was unusual, and had been sitting on the ground since just now, holding her arms and not saying a word.

Todd walked up to Richel, crouched down, and lifted his sleeve. The veins that swelled like lightning covered the woman's arms.

He lightly touched the other's skin, and Richer retracted her hands in pain as if she had been electrocuted.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Todd said to the woman, lowering his voice. Rachel's face turned pale, unable to utter a word, and could only shake his head to indicate that he was fine.

Pulling the other man's sleeve back up, Todd quietly picked her up, leaving the others behind, and the two walked out of the workshop.

"Honestly, Rachel, I don't understand you. Todd put his arm around the woman's elbow, his upper body tilted outward, and his eyes were aimed at the distant scenery.

The feeble Rachel ran one hand through Todd's arm, and the other hand grabbed his upper arm, like a woman in love, snuggling up to her lover.

"Me too. ”

Hearing Richel's words, Todd turned his head and looked at her in surprise.

The woman raised her head, her eyes looking directly at each other.

Both of them suddenly laughed at the same time.

————————————

The expository hall of the Church in Twilighttown.

Todd sat at his desk, flipping through the stacks of books in front of him.

『Basic Calculation』

"Taylor Counting General Rule"

『Character Recognition』

"Lingua Franca" pronunciation......

Glancing at Huggins and Richer in front of him, Todd asked, "Are the monks all arranged?"

Huggins nodded and said, "It's all arranged, and the monks are very satisfied with the food and lodging conditions." ”

Todd picked a few basic books and handed them to the man: "Print twenty copies of each of these books." Also, during this time, find someone to pay attention to the words and deeds of the monks. ”

Huggins took the book, scratched his head, and looked like he couldn't speak.

Seeing the other party's expression, Todd asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

The man glanced at Richer with some scruples, and said in a low voice, "Recently, there are people in the town who are discussing the matter of xenomorphs. ”

Todd sat up straight, his expression serious: "What's going on? Is it the news leaked by the craftsmen?"

"I'm afraid not, we stared at the three craftsmen day and night, they had never said anything about xenomorphism to anyone else, not even their families. ”

Todd and Richel looked at each other, "What's going on?"

"A few days ago, someone seemed to have accidentally seen those refugees in the southeast gathering place of the town, and someone used a special ability. ”

When Todd heard this, he leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.

Rachel frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I can warn them one more time, so that they must not use xenomorph abilities?"

"This kind of rule of law does not cure the root cause, and sooner or later, they will still be discovered. Todd touched the bridge of his nose and fell into deep thought: "If only there was a way to make the people of Twilight accept the existence of xenos......

Huggins tilted his head, pondered for a while, and said, "My lord, perhaps you can hold an evangelistic meeting to bring the xenos to the forefront, and with your prestige and people's beliefs, you can overturn the absurd claim that xenos are the 'remnants of the devil'. ”

"No way!"

This time, Todd and Rachel spoke out against it at the same time.

The two looked at each other, and Rachel spoke first, "Exposing xenos to everyone's sight will only increase people's fear and unease. Think about it, what would you think of a bunch of people living around you who can shoot fire with their hands and see through the walls of your house with their eyes?"

Todd pondered for a moment, then picked up the topic and continued, "There are many people in Twilight Town who believe in me, but not all of them. In addition, in recent times, there have been many new residents who have joined the town of Twilight. If you choose to make public the news of the alien race at this time, as long as there is a resident with bad intentions, go to the inquisition to inform. At that point, all xenos will be in great crisis. ”

Huggins was completely out of line, he spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "So what should we do? Could it be that xenos can only hide their identities and never see the light?"

Rachel also looked distressed, and in her opinion, it was extremely difficult, if not impossible, to overturn the Church's definition of xenomorphism, to subvert people's deep-seated prejudices against xenomorphism, and to ensure the absolute safety of xenomorphs.

Todd sat at the desk, looking at the book in front of him, his eyes slowly losing focus, and some words unconsciously came out of his mouth.

Huggins and Richer saw the Chief's strange appearance and leaned closer to him, finally hearing the muffled, meaningless syllables from Todd's mouth.

"Marvel" (Chinese)

『Justice League』 (Chinese)

Just when the men and women were confused, Todd suddenly raised his head, blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "If we can't expose all the xenos to the sun, then what if we only expose one person?"

Rachel became more and more confused: "Does it make a difference?"

Todd tapped the cover of the book with his knuckles: "What if this xenomorph who is exposed to the eyes of the people is kind-hearted, jealous and hateful, and has a unique skill and no one can beat him?"

Rachel's mouth opened slightly, her face full of incredulity, she understood Todd's shocking idea a little.

Huggins was still puzzled: "What does exposing this person have to do with making the townspeople accept xenomorphs?"

Todd laughed and said to Rachel, "I need a list of all xenomorphs, including names, ages, biographies, personalities, reputations, and xenomorph abilities. ”

After listening to it for a long time, Huggins, who still couldn't find a way, was a little anxious: "My lord, what is this going to do?"

Todd drew an "S" on the table with charcoal, and said word by word, "I'm going to create a super xenohero ......"
