Huggins leaves Twilight for the time being.

He walked in such a hurry that he didn't even leave a word.

At parting, Todd did not ask or hinder, he knew exactly where the man was going and what he was going to do.

A cruel lie told a few years ago has to be explained, a wound that has not been healed for a long time, and it needs to be repaired with care.

The priest stood at the entrance to the town, watching the man go farther and farther away, sighed and was about to turn back, but saw Alfonso de Cavo standing not far away.

The knight's iron mask obscured his face, making it impossible to see his expression. But from the look in his eyes, Todd could guess that the other party was looking to him for an explanation.

"Did Hudgens tell you that he was an alien?"

Alfonso nodded: "He told me about this as a friend when we were both apprentice knights, but I didn't believe that he was the 'demon's widow' in the church', so I promised to keep it a secret for him. ”

Todd asked again, "Then do you know that he left his wife and daughter in the form of 'fake death' because he was worried that his alien abilities would hurt them?"

The knight nodded again: "He told me about this a few months ago. But in fact, before he 'faked his death', I had heard rumors that someone had secretly told the church about his xenomorphic identity...... I saw his palm, and you liberated him from the curse of the xenomorphs?"

Todd was stunned, thought for a moment, and then said to the knight, "I made him the 'heir'......"

Before the words fell, a sword light flashed.

Alfonso's greatsword rested on the priest's chest.

Todd's eyelids didn't even blink, and his next sentence stunned the knight in place, and the weapon in his hand slowly drooped to the ground.

"I've found a way to stop the Inheritor's mutation. ”

Alfonso shook his head in disbelief and raised his sword again, his tone full of doubt: "A problem that has not been solved for hundreds of years, you tell me, you have a way to solve it?!"

"There was another person before me who prevented the 'Inheritor' mutation, and that person was the alchemist Sutherland, but I summarized and improved the plan based on him. ”

Seeing that the priest's expression did not seem to be fake, the knight put away his sword, turned around, and said, "I will believe everything you say first, and I will continue to stay here and watch all this." If what you're saying is true......"

Todd's next sentence made Alfonso put down his steps again, and his body turned back stiffly.

"Lord Dekavo, have you ever thought about taking off those keels under your armor?"

——————————————

On the way back to the lab, Todd had a new research goal in mind.

Alfonso's two 'dragon bones' parasites, one female and one male, are really excellent combat armor. Hardness similar to steel, malleability like spring, increases the body's strength, agility, and jumping ability like a metal exoskeleton, and the parasite's surface also has the ability to insulate heat and absorb flames.

If you can take off the knight's "parasite armor" and study it carefully, you may be able to find a major discovery in terms of protective materials.

But first, we have to devise a plan to get rid of the parasites......

While thinking about it, Todd was walking on the road when a noisy voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and when he looked up, he was startled by the scene in front of him.

A large crowd of residents gathered at the door of the church, clamoring for something.

The assistant priest, who was in charge of the day-to-day affairs of the church, kept order loud, but it didn't seem to work well.

The appearance of the priest made these people immediately excited. Todd stepped forward and questioned carefully, and the gang had originally wanted to change the ownership of the holy bones, but the price of the registration made his heart tremble.

The price of a holy bone is now only 70 copper stars, and some people are even willing to sell 60 bronze stars. It was only four weeks before the end of the "tea party", and the price of the sacred bones had dropped by a third.

Realizing that things are going and starting to deviate from their normal trajectory, in order to keep the price of the Holy Bone stable, Todd has to explain to everyone in the chapel once again how the "Twilight Mutual Aid" works and when it will be profitable. It's a pity that these people in front of them can't listen to it at all, and they are clamoring to trade.

In desperation, the priest had no choice but to re-register the group in front of him.

Having sent off the last pair of traders whose relict ownership had changed, the sun had set above the western horizon.

Todd put down the pen in his hand, looked at the new batch of changes in the record book, buried his face in his hands in frustration, and sighed deeply.

Originally, he thought that with his fame and religious influence, this "Twilight West Mutual Aid Fund" should go smoothly, but he didn't expect that it had only been less than a month, and people's suspicion and distrust had reached such a serious level.

"Todd ......"

A weak voice came from the doorway.

Following the sound to see who it was, there was a slight smile on his face.

Dressed in a nun's dress, Karin's little head poked in, her face full of worry and sorrow.

"Have you forgotten what I told you?"

A mature and languid female voice came from behind Karin, and one hand grabbed the back of the girl's neck.

Karin immediately changed her words: "Father ......"

Rachel walked into the room, sat down across from Todd, looked at the dense records in the register, and said with a smile, "Don't you consider dropping the rule that 'each person can only buy ten holy bones'? ”

Todd frowned and looked at the other party, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the dean of the nun in front of him really smiled like a little fox in the animated film and television in his previous life. Suddenly remembering some possibility, he leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "These people ...... Could it be that you found ......?"

Rachel pursed her mouth and made a look of being wronged: "Heavenly Father is above!

At this time, Karin also helped: "These days, Sister Richer and I have been together, and I can testify that she has definitely not done anything bad!"

Todd glanced at the latter, rolled his eyes and shook his head, complaining in his heart.

"You stupid girl, what kind of certificate do you make, even if you are sold to the market by human traffickers, you will definitely help you bargain. 』

"Instead of thinking that someone else is doing something bad, why don't you look at what is in front of you? Maybe you can find some new clues. Watching as Rachel tapped the register with his fine, smooth fingers, Todd scrutinized the register as he said, and at first glance, he really saw something strange.

The relics were sold by wealthier people, such as shopkeepers, vendors, traders, etc., while those who bought them were poorer people, such as fishermen, artisans, craftsmen, etc.

After a moment's thought, Todd understood why.

The merchants in Twilight Town had sufficient funds to buy the relics directly at the Tea Party, but the overemphasis on wealth made them impatient with the delayed returns, and the producers and processors, due to their lack of funds, needed to discuss with each other at the Tea Party before they could pool the money to buy the relics, lagging behind the former in terms of timing. Now, the latter, who regards faith as far more important than wealth, is naturally willing to "take over" when the former gives up the holy bones.

Seeing Todd's thoughtful appearance, Rachel propped his hands on the edge of the table, leaned towards him, and his rosy lips leaned close to the other party's ears, and the priest was shocked when he said the words: "Isn't it great that those who believe in me will have eternal life?"

Todd looked up, struggling to shift his gaze from her "peaks and peaks" to her face.

There was only one thought in my head.

This woman really laughs like a little fox......
