Chapter 93: Mutual Aid Society

Old Aiden, who had been running all the way, had not yet reached the door of his house when he saw a group of people gathered in front of his hut, shouting something.

Aiden, who quietly avoided the crowd at the front door and climbed into his living room through the back window, saw his children blocking the door with their bodies.

The appearance of the old craftsman made the eyes of the people in the family light up. His old wife rushed up and asked, "What about the holy bones? You didn't promise to sell them, did you?"

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

The eldest son, who was doing chores in the workshop, said with a smile: "I have a friend who works in the Silver Ring City, and said that a few days ago, an auction was held in the city, and even the king and queen were in attendance. The auction is the things that are shipped out of our town! The flowers planted by the farmers who borrowed the "Twilight West Mutual Aid Fund"!"

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

The old craftsman took a breath and muttered: "That's ......"

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

————————————

A golden nest and a silver nest can never compare to your own kennel.

Todd now understands this phrase, and the moment he stepped into Twilight, he suddenly felt completely relaxed, like an otaku who had been away for many days, returning to his cottage filled with the "smell of chestnut flowers".

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

After a request to stay overnight with the royal guards who were in charge of escorting him was politely denied, Todd watched the group of tireless guards set out on their way home. Turning his gaze to the wooden boxes full of coins in the convoy, he motioned for the people to inform all the townspeople to assemble in the square.

In fact, there was no need to inform the farmers that Todd had given the Father's gift to the farmers, so that the flowers they grew were sold for a large price in Silver Ring, and the news had already spread throughout the streets of Twilight. The men put down their work, the women threw down their laundry, and the children gathered early in the square to give their families a good place to see.

When Todd finishes freshening up, changes into a clean outfit, and walks out of the church door. The catechumens had already erected a simple circular wooden platform, on which three heavy wooden boxes were placed in the shape of a pinzig.

Todd whispered to Huggins, "How's it going?"

The man looked at the crowd that had packed the square and nodded to the priest: "I have seen the register of the church, and everyone with the holy bones has come. ”

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

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

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

After listening to the priest's whispering, Huggins opened his eyes, stood up straight, looked at the crowd of people in the audience, swallowed his saliva, and said in embarrassment: "My lord, are you sure?

Todd gave him a reassuring look.

Huggins gritted his teeth and nodded. Under the astonished gaze of everyone in the square, he drew the long sword at his waist and slashed at the plank of the box.

Flying sawdust, screeching sounds, and the things in the wooden box gradually showed their true faces under the sunlight.

A silver glow pierced into the eyes of the audience.

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

The screams and praises of the people joined together, and everyone rushed forward, and Huggins was relieved that the people were just crowding forward to watch, and there was no riot.

Huggins took out a document from his waist and read it aloud from the words: "Thank you for the favor of Heavenly Father! Thank you for the blessings of this miraculous land of Dusk Town! Thank you to the residents who have contributed to the "Twilight Mutual Aid Fund"! The goods of the farmers in Dusk Town have been sold in Silver Ring City for a total of 2,070 Silver Moons!"

There was another exclamation from the crowd.

The man continued: "In gratitude for God's gift, the proceeds of the sale will first be given a tenth as a holy stewardship and temporarily stored in the church, totaling 207 silver moons, and then the labor remuneration of the farmers in Duxi Town will be paid first, according to the labor remuneration of 30 bronze stars per day for each household, 384 silver moons, and the last balance of 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 Bronze Stars will be issued. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, and in just one and a half months of investment, they could actually get about 15 times the income!

Watching Huggins lead his subordinates, he first took out a part of the "sea of silver coins" in front of him and put it into the church, then took out a part and handed it to the old tearful Sassoon, and finally divided the remaining coins into one hundred equal parts.

At this time, some of the people in the audience were ecstatic, some were remorseful, and some were envious and jealous......

It took more than half an hour to distribute the coins, and when there was nothing left on the wooden platform but dust whipped up by the breeze, Huggins once again stood on the stage and announced to the people three of the latest decisions:

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

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

The specific implementation measures are as follows:

(1) The "Twilight West Mutual Aid Society" plans to sell 1,000 sacred bones at the initial stage, and the starting price is 1 silver month.

(2) Users who have previously purchased the "Twilight Mutual Aid Fund" and participated in the income distribution can purchase the Holy Bone first within 30 days according to the initial price.

(3) After the 30-day pre-emptive purchase period, the relics that have not yet been purchased will be sold by auction.

(4) Each person may not possess more than 50 sacred bones, which can be freely transferred. However, the transfer must be registered with the church, otherwise it will be considered invalid.

(5) The purchaser and transferor of the Relic must be a legal resident, i.e. a person who owns and settles in the town of Twilight.

(6) Any person in possession of the relics who moves out of the town of Twilight without permission during the holding period shall be deemed to have given up the proceeds and the relics will be confiscated by the church.

3. The farmers in Duxi Town plan to set up the "Gospel Flower Workshop", and the "Duxi Mutual Aid Society" plans to invest 200 silver months to participate in this matter and obtain the right to benefit from it. The funds contributed are mainly used for the establishment of stores, material purchases, personnel training, product transportation and sales liaison.

Due to the sheer number of announcements, Huggins had to transcribe the above information on a piece of paper and put it on the town's billboard.

For the next few days, the town of Twilight was as lively as boiling water.

Huggins and his twelve subordinates, with the money from the dividends, bought themselves some equipment and a whole bunch of things for their families.

Alfonso and his followers took the money and built a two-story hut near the hill for four people.

Edgar and Jerry Jerry moved out of the Escort camp and rented a large house in the town.

Rachel and Karin, two impostor nuns, get the most money out of them. But I don't know what these two people think, they actually took the money they earned, and planned to build a hotel next to the newly built convent, and even the name was chosen - "Sister Hotel".

After arranging the affairs of the "Twilight Mutual Society" and the "Gospel Flower Workshop", Todd didn't bother with the outside world because he had more important things to do.

In the main hall of the lab, Todd sat Alfonso on a square bench and began to study the "keel" parasite on his body.

According to the biological taxonomy of FEG Cox in 2003, the world's organisms can be roughly divided into six kingdoms: bacteria, protozoa, animals, fungi, plants and chromoides, and the parasite on Alfonso can be roughly classified into the animal kingdom - the lower kingdom of acute skin - the general family of jaws.

But there are certain features that make this classification uncertain.

Two giant parasites, one female and one male, hold the knight's exorcist shell, with multiple limbs sticking out from the inside of the worm's body, tightly binding the host's limbs and head and neck with tentacles and hooked jaws.

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

The dozens of small, sharp limbs of the "Dragonbone" parasite spread up from the knight's neck, like a large hand, tightly wrapped around his entire head from behind.

Todd checked up and down again and noticed something strange. It stands to reason that parasites should be based on the nutrients in the host's body, but how do the "keel" parasites absorb the host's nutrients when they cover the human body, and how do they carry out metabolic activities?

Walking behind Alfonso's back, using the ability of "Perspective", Todd finally saw the truth of the facts.

The parasite covering the human spine has dozens of sharp hook spines sticking out from the inside, piercing into the knight's spinal fluid, which serves as a source of nutrients for daily activities, and there is also a row of dense small holes on the middle ridge line of the parasite, and as the parasite moves one by one, some fluid is secreted from the inside, which looks a little like metabolic pores.

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 using sulfuric acid to dehydrate the alcohol, you can get this organic solvent, which is very stable when isolated from the air, and the concentration can make the human body coma as long as the concentration reaches 109.08~196.95g/cubic meter (3.6-6.5%). Since the "keel" parasite belongs to the general family of jaws in the animal kingdom, the use of ether should have a certain effect.

There are two key points of difficulty.

First, it is necessary to grasp the level of concentration. Ether has low toxicity and can produce strong sexual irritation to both the host and the parasite if the concentration is not well controlled.

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

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

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

The Dragonbone parasite has been unraveled......
