The glasswork was eventually sent to Silver Ring, although before that, Todd repeatedly "argued" with Father Paul, but the other party finally came up with the bishop's authorization, and no one could refute it.

Although the monks did not succeed in leaving treasures for priests, knights, and the war dead, the people of the church received this kindness and recorded this benevolence.

On the other hand, Paul, the head of the delegation, presented treasures to the church just when most people thought he would soon be prosperous.

Ten days later, a letter of appointment and dismissal made everyone smash their glasses.

Very rarely, Bishop Fabian dismissed Paul from his post as head of the mission, and ordered him to return to the cathedral immediately, and instead appointed a respected old priest to take his place.

As the saying in the previous life said.

"He went quietly, just as he came quietly, and with a wave of his sleeves he did not take away a cloud."

Things gradually returned to calm.

The annexation of the monastery of San Sidro by the Church came to an end for the time being.

Todd's life is back to the way it used to be.

Library, laboratory, dormitory, three points and one line.

In the eyes of others, he turned away from the world, chose the life of a monastery, and became a monk again. But only he knew in his heart that a seed was sprouting, a barrel of wine was fermenting, and in the near future, a real opportunity would come to him sooner or later.

On a warm winter morning, Todd was busy in the lab when Huggins knocked on the door.

The man was still in that shabby outfit, and the monk was not surprised now, and did not bother to talk about him again.

Huggins patted the dust on his body, looked at the intricate instruments on the table, the colorful liquids in the bottles, and said slowly: "The glass workshop has been processed, and the stove, utensils, samples, and molds are all hidden in a safe place. ”

Todd nodded, signaling to know.

Huggins found a stool and sat down, moving his arm, "The pirate's warship is a problem, maybe we can build a small dock on the west coast of the twilight?"

The monk put down the gas cylinder in his hand, motioned to Karin on the other side of the table to turn off the fire, thought for a moment, and said, "No, let the harbor remain its original appearance, and the ship can be stored in the nearby village." ”

After a pause, he turned his face to Huggins and said, "I know that the decision to close the glass workshop and not develop the harbor for the time being may be a little incomprehensible, after all, I promised you to make the harbor of the twilight west a base for xenomorphs......"

The man shook his head, and the words he said surprised Todd a little: "No, I understand, now is not the time to do this. ”

"Yes," the latter said, "whether it's the production of glass or the development of seaports, it will make people doubt the real purpose of what we did before." ”

Huggins nodded in agreement, and stood up to turn away.

"Oh, by the way, Huggins, wait a minute. Todd took out a small wooden box from under the table and handed it to the other party.

With a question, the man opened the wooden box, and the contents made him freeze in place.

A small wind chime made of a string of glass and silver pieces.

"I specially left it for your daughter. Todd shrugged, suddenly remembered something, and added, "Don't tell Edgar." ”

The man nodded slightly to the monk, did not say anything, put the wooden box in his arms, and left the room, expressionless from beginning to end, but his body trembled slightly.

"What about mine?"

Hearing this, Todd furrowed his eyebrows and turned his face.

His beautiful female assistant, Karin Foreman, looked at him with a winkful look of anticipation.

Since the few days she spent on the island, Karin's attitude towards herself has changed slightly.

In the past, she surrounded herself more because of curiosity, but now, there are more things in the other party's eyes that he can't understand and can't understand.

For this unknown thing, he is not sure and does not dare to be sure.

"Karin, if I said I was going to give you glass, you wouldn't be happy, after all, you can make it yourself. Well, tell me what you want, if I can do it. Todd, who had given up resistance, raised his arms in the air and made a gesture of surrender.

Karin, who was lying on the table with her chin in her hands, looked at the roof and thought about it seriously.

The girl's eyes lit up, and Todd's proposal later surprised him slightly: "Let's go out and play!"

Twenty minutes later, about eight o'clock in the morning.

Todd, who had changed into civilian clothes, saw Karin at the gate of the monastery who had re-dressed for her first official meeting.

A light white cake-style headdress, a loose top with a front placket, long black hair combed into a twist and hung down to the back of his head, and a little face with pink and apricot was shy and apricot let.

Todd sighed a little, just like this, a few years older, put in his own university in his previous life, he will definitely be selected as the school flower by those good boys.

"Where are we going next?" said it funny, traveling to another world, and this was the first time he had actually gone out to play, except for the downtown circus.

The girl patted her chest, her face full of familiarity: "Just follow me!"

Walking down the hill and heading east, about 15 minutes on foot, the two came to a small post called "White Horse".

Among the three or five carriages that were close together, Karin chose one that looked to be decorated and cleaned, and grabbed the back panel of the carriage with both hands, and wanted to flip it over with both hands.

Todd came to her side, took her arms in both hands, lifted her up, and carried her into the carriage. After turning over and entering, he found that the girl's face was a little red, but he didn't think much about it, and found that the coachman was still closing his eyes and recuperating, and asked: "Isn't this car going now?"

Karin gave him a strange look and replied, "The carriage will not depart until the guests are full." ”

After a long time, I dared to love that this was not a "taxi", at most it could only be regarded as a "private bus".

I watched the sun rise, but there were few guests in the inn. Todd simply knocked on the front baffle of the carriage, woke up the coachman, looked at the other party's misty eyes, took out a silver coin from his waist, and asked, "Can I rent this carriage?"

His eyes followed the coin, and he realized that the coachman who had come to the door with a big business suddenly came to his senses, and grabbed the silver coin with his hand: "Guest, where do you want to go?"

Karin secretly tugged at the sleeve of the person next to her, and whispered, "It's too much! One silver coin is enough for the two of us to take the carriage to the Silver Ring." ”

I don't know why, seeing the girl's painful face, a cute and nostalgic thought slowly appeared in Todd's mind.

Finally, looking at the coachman biting the silver coin with his yellowed front teeth, Karin said with a look of disgust and hatred: "Watchfort, go slower, I want to see the scenery!"
