The first thing Todd did when he woke up was touch the church authorization beside him.
It’s okay, okay, it’s all here.
Sitting up from the bed, he pressed two index fingers on his throbbing temples. The bells were ringing in his head, and stars appeared in front of his eyes. He gritted his teeth hard and thought to himself, it's no wonder that people who do scientific research hate socializing the most. Drink.
After one night of drunkenness, the hangover the next day completely cancels all arrangements and makes it impossible to go to work.
Get dressed and open the door.
He met the monks walking in a hurry in the corridor. Those people looked at Todd expressionlessly and continued on their way without stopping.
Todd also understands that his reputation is completely bad in the monastery. In the past, the most he could say was "lazy and impious", but now he may have to add negative comments such as "colluding with the church and obsessed with the world". Think about it the other way around.
I think, without the big mountain of Master Mairis, I am lucky that I have not been driven out now.
Like a mouse in the market, Todd tried to hide his body in the shadow of the building in order not to attract anyone's attention, and moved towards the monastery door step by step.
Unfortunately, it was eventually discovered.
Karin, wearing a monk's robe, stood in front of Todd, looking unhappy: "Yesterday you didn't allow me to go, today you have to take me with you!"
Todd rubbed his temples, intending to refuse directly, but when he thought of the other party's "angrily painting the wall" terrorist remarks yesterday, he suddenly felt that it might be better to keep her with him.
"You can follow me today..." Seeing the girl's excited and happy expression, Todd immediately added: "But you must follow my arrangements and you must not mess around."
After receiving a full promise from the other party, the two set off towards the foot of the mountain together.
Regarding the formation of the Guardian Exorcist Group and the development of Muxi Harbor, Todd has a general plan in mind, but he needs to do some research first.
Huggins, who has broad connections, a flexible mind and is a local, is naturally the best person to consult.
When he arrived at the smelting site at the bottom of the mountain, he walked around the expanded furnace. Todd didn't see Huggins, but he found a sulky Edgar and a frustrated little Jerry.
Looking at the expressions of the two of them, Todd asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"
When Edgar saw Todd, he immediately found an outlet for his dissatisfaction: "Forget it! In order to cure the stupid guy, we took him to the downtown circus, spent money to enter the haunted house, and found a rope.
He was tied to a wooden post. Unexpectedly, only a minute later, he was so frightened that he started crying, broke the rope, twisted the post, beat the performer half to death, and set the tent on fire!
"
Wrapping his fingers, the little kid calculated everything: "Staff medical expenses, material maintenance expenses, prop purchase expenses, tent repair expenses, audience shock expenses...all the money we earned in three days was put in! Fortunately, no
Cause a life or I will be banned for life!"
Todd looked at Jerry, who was lowering his head lower and lower, and sighed deeply. It seems that using shock to stimulate the adrenal parasite is not a good idea.
Karin beside him suddenly laughed.
"Such a scene must be very interesting!" The girl's speech surprised several others: "Think about it, when the fire ignites, people are like animals with tails on fire, fleeing in all directions. Don't you think that?
Is the scene funny?”
Rather than helping little Jerry get rid of his violent troubles, Todd suddenly felt that he should put correcting Miss Forman's "three-view problem" at the top of his schedule.
"How could this be funny?!" Edgar straightened up and spoke righteously: "The props and tents were burned to the point of being unusable. The performers had to recuperate for more than a month and the performance had to be suspended for a long time.
time!"
Karin raised her head when she heard the words, and the face under the monk's hood was revealed.
Edgar saw the face clearly, his body trembled, and his voice unconsciously raised three times, and his tone became like a star-chasing fan in his previous life: "Black... Miss Black Sheep! I didn't know you would come.
Here, your performance is my favorite!"
Todd then remembered that Huggins seemed to be the only one other than himself who knew about Karin's decision to stay in the monastery.
The girl took up the topic: "The fire..."
"The fire was so intense that the whole circus came to put out the fire. You don't know, the scene was really..."
Listening to Edgar's sudden change of tone and exaggerated talk about the book, Todd covered his face and thought to himself, "You kid, can you still have some face?"
After listening for a while, he couldn't stand it anymore and had to interrupt the kid: "Where is Huggins? Why didn't I see anyone else?"
Edgar stopped talking, scratched the back of his head with his hand, thought for a while, and whispered to himself: "It seems that it doesn't matter if I tell you now..."
Um?
What does this mean?
Edgar pointed to the southwest: "Starting from here, walk in that direction for half an hour. There is a village. Uncle Huggins went there."
Seeing the non-committal look on the other party's face, Todd didn't ask any more questions and set off directly with Karin towards the village.
Edgar also followed. It seemed that he wanted to say a few words to Miss Black Sheep, but he didn't have the courage. He just followed the two of them, following suit.
Little Jerry, who had just made a mistake, did not want to stay alone in the smelting site, but was afraid of being scolded, so he just followed him from a distance.
When they arrived at the village, Todd saw from a distance that Huggins was hiding behind a tree in an obscene manner, secretly looking at a wooden house ahead.
Todd turned around, ignoring the reluctance on the girl's face, and strictly ordered Karin to stay where she was and not to come closer. With full curiosity, he crawled to a big rock behind Huggins with his hands and feet, and secretly looked towards
The actions of the man in front.
Huggins hid behind the tree, looked at the cabin in front of him, and whispered to himself: "Why don't you come out?"
Todd hid beside the stone and peeked at Huggins in front of him, wondering: "What are you doing?"
Karin hid behind, looking at Todd not far away, and growled angrily: "You are always unwilling to take me to play!"
Edgar stood not far behind Karin, looked at Black Sheep, and suddenly remembered something: "I should have asked for an autograph just now!"
Little Jerry sat at the back, glanced at all the people in front, hugged his knees with his arms and said, "I'm hungry..."
Finally, the door of the hut opened.
A woman with a good face walked out of the room carrying a basket, followed by a cute girl about ten years old. The two walked away talking and laughing.
Huggins moved.
I saw this man, watching the two people walking further and further away, took off a heavy cloth bag from his waist, tiptoed to the window, and used a thin hook to open the locked window.
He threw the bag in his hand directly. A heavy sound of coins crashing came from the house. Huggins nodded with satisfaction before running back.
