Old Aiden, who was running all the way, saw a group of people gathered in front of his cabin before he reached the door of his house, 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 everyone at home brighten up. His old wife rushed up and asked: "Where are the holy bones? You didn't agree to sell the holy bones, did you?!"
Seeing Aiden shaking his head, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The eldest son, who was working in the workshop, said with a smile: "I have a friend who works in Yinhuan City. He said that an auction was held in the city a few days ago, and even the king and queen attended the auction.
These are the things shipped out from our town! The flowers grown by the farmers who borrowed the "Muxi Mutual Aid Fund"!"
Aiden's old wife blinked and added: "I heard it was sold for a big sum!"
The old craftsman took a breath and muttered: "That means..."
Suddenly a voice came from outside the door: "The Holy Son is back!"
————————————
A golden nest or a silver nest can never be as good as your own doghouse.
Todd now has a deep understanding of this sentence. The moment he stepped into Muxi Town, he suddenly felt completely relaxed, like an otaku who had been out for many days and returned to his chestnut-filled world.
It's like a flowery cabin.
The motorcade stopped in the square in front of the church.
After asking the royal guards responsible for escorting him to stay overnight and being declined, Todd watched the group of hard-working guards embark on their way home. Then he turned his attention to the wooden boxes filled with coins in the motorcade, and he signaled
People went to notify all the residents of the town to gather in the square.
In fact, there was no need to notify at all. Todd gave Heavenly Father's gift to those farmers, so that the flowers grown by the latter were sold for a huge price in Silver Ring City. This matter had already spread throughout Muxi Town.
In the streets and alleys, the men put down their work, the women put down their laundry, and the children came to the square early to occupy a good position with a clear view for their families.
By the time Todd finished washing up, put on a set of clean clothes, and walked out of the church door, the catechumens had already set up a simple round wooden platform, and three heavy wooden boxes were placed in a "C-shaped" shape.
above.
Todd whispered to Huggins next to him: "How are you doing? Are everyone here?"
The man looked at the crowd that crowded the square and nodded towards the priest: "I have seen the church register. Everyone who holds the holy bones is here."
Todd nodded and stood on the wooden platform under the gaze of the residents.
The bustling crowd gradually calmed down, and everyone was waiting for the priest to say something.
However, Todd didn't seem to have any intention to speak. He asked Huggins to stand on the wooden platform and whispered something in his ear.
After listening to the priest's whisper, Huggins opened his eyes wide, stood up straight, looked at the sea of people in the audience, swallowed his saliva, and said in embarrassment: "My lord, are you sure? This is not good, there are so many people here.
People, what should I do if something goes wrong?"
Todd gave him a reassuring look.
Huggins gritted his teeth and nodded. Under the surprised gaze of everyone in the square, he drew out the long sword from his waist and slashed at the wooden board of the box.
Flying sawdust, harsh sounds, and the objects in the wooden box gradually revealed their true appearance under the sunlight.
Silver light pierced the eyes of the audience.
As the box burst, the silver coins surged onto the wooden platform like "sea water" breaking through a dam, instantly flowing into a silver "ocean".
People screamed and praised one after another, and everyone squeezed forward. What made Huggins feel a little relieved was that people just squeezed to the front to watch, and there was no riot.
Huggins took out a document from his waist and read the words aloud: "Thank you Heavenly Father for your grace! Thank you for the blessing of this miracle land in Muxi Town! Also thank you for your contribution to the "Muxi Mutual Aid Fund"
Residents of Strength! This time, the farmers’ products in Muxi Town were sold in Yinhuan City for a total of 2070 Silver Moons!”
There was another burst of exclamation from the crowd.
The man continued: "In order to thank God for his gift! One-tenth of the sales proceeds will be used as a sacred management fund, which will be temporarily deposited in the church, totaling 207 silver moons; then, priority will be paid to the farmers in Muxi Town.
The labor remuneration is based on 30 bronze stars per household per day, and 384 silver moons are paid; the final remaining 1,479 silver moons are distributed in proportion to the sacred bones held. That is, for each sacred bone held, 14 silver moons are distributed
Silver Moon 79 Bronze Stars.”
Everyone was in an uproar. An investment of one silver month could actually earn about 15 times the income in just one and a half months!
Watching Huggins leading his men, he first took out 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 tearful Sassoon, and finally divided the remaining coins into one hundred equal parts.
At this time, among the people in the audience, some were ecstatic, some were filled with regret, and some were envious...
It took more than half an hour to distribute the coins. When there was nothing left on the wooden platform, only the dust stirred up by the breeze, Huggins stood on the stage again and announced three latest decisions to the people:
1. Father Todd plans to establish an organization called "Muxi Mutual Aid Society" on the basis of "Muxi Mutual Aid Fund".
Second, the purpose of "Muxi Mutual Aid Society" is to help Muxi Town develop industries and improve people's livelihood.
The specific implementation methods are as follows:
① "Muxi Mutual Aid Society" initially plans to sell 1,000 holy bones, with a starting price of 1 silver moon.
② Users who have purchased "Muxi Mutual Aid Fund" before and participated in the income distribution can have priority to purchase the holy bones within thirty days according to the initial price.
③After the thirty-day priority purchase period, the sacred bones that have not been purchased will be sold by auction.
④ Each person may not hold more than 50 sacred bones, and sacred bones can be transferred freely. However, the transfer must be registered with the church, otherwise it will be deemed invalid.
⑤The purchaser and transferor of the sacred bones must be a legal resident, that is, a person who owns real estate and resides in Muxi Town.
⑥Any person who owns the holy bones, if he moves out of Muxi Town without permission during the holding period, will be deemed to have given up the income, and the holy bones will be confiscated by the church.
3. The farmers in Muxi Town plan to establish a "Gospel Flower Shop", and the "Muxi Mutual Aid Cooperative" plans to invest 200 silver months to participate in this matter and obtain its income rights. The funds provided are mainly used to build shops, purchase materials, and personnel.
Training, product transportation and sales liaison work.
Since there were too many things to announce, Huggins found someone to copy the above information onto paper after finishing it, and posted it on the town's notice board.
In the next few days, Muxi Town was as lively as boiling water.
Huggins and his twelve subordinates used the dividend money to buy some equipment for themselves and a lot of things for their families.
Alfonso and his followers took the money and built a two-story hut near the hills for four people to live in.
Edgar and Little Jerry moved out of the escort camp and rented a large house in the town to live in.
The two fake nuns, Rachel and Karin, got the most money among these people. But I don’t know what these two people thought. They actually took the money they earned and planned to build a nunnery next to the newly built nunnery.
Build a hotel and even name it - "Sisters Hotel".
After arranging things for "Muxi Mutual Aid Society" and "Gospel Flower Shop", Todd stopped paying attention to outside affairs because he had more important things to do.
In the main hall of the laboratory, Todd asked Alfonso to sit on a square stool and began to study the "Dragon Bone" parasite on his body.
According to the biological classification method of FEG Cox in 2003 in the previous life, the living things in the world can be roughly divided into six kingdoms: Bacteria, Protozoa, Animalia, Fungi, Planta and Chromophora. And Alfonso’s
This parasite can be roughly classified into the superfamily Gnatostomatidae of the kingdom Animalia-Aphrodite.
But some of its characteristics make this classification uncertain.
Two giant "keel-bone" parasites, one female and one male, embrace the knight's shell. Multiple limbs extend from the inside of the insect body, tightly binding the host's limbs and head and neck with tentacles and hooked jaws.
When Alfonso took off the iron helmet on his head, Todd took a few steps back in fright, because the face in front of him looked a bit like the protagonist in "The Opposite Sex vs. Predator" - the Predator.
Dozens of tiny and sharp limbs of the "Dragon Bone" parasite spread up from the knight's neck, as if a big hand wrapped tightly around his entire head from behind.
Todd checked up and down again and discovered something strange. Logically speaking, parasites should rely on the nutrients in the host's body as the basis for survival, but the "keel" parasite covers the human body, how can it absorb the host?
Nutrition? How to carry out metabolic activities?
After walking behind Alfonso and using the power of "clairvoyance", Todd finally saw the truth.
The parasite covering the human spine has dozens of sharp hooks protruding from the inside, piercing into the knight's spinal fluid as a source of nutrients for daily activities; there is also a dense row of thorns on the central spine of the parasite.
The small pores open and close with the activity of the parasite, and some liquid is secreted from the inside, which looks like a metabolic pore.
After completing the observation, Todd began to plan how to help Alfonso take off this "parasite armor".
After some comparisons, he decided to try a commonly used medical anesthetic - ether.
This organic solvent can be obtained by dehydrating alcohol with sulfuric acid. It is very stable when isolated from air. As long as the concentration reaches 109.08~196.95g/cubic meter (3.6-6.5%), it can make the human body coma. Since "
Keel parasites belong to the family Gnatostomata in the animal kingdom, so using ether should have a certain effect.
The key difficulty lies in two points.
First, the concentration must be controlled. Ether has low toxicity. If the concentration is not controlled well, it will cause strong stimulation to both the host and the parasite.
Second, the oxide of ether is extremely unstable, and its vapor can mix with air to form an explosive mixture.
Finally, Todd set up a darkroom and found a container similar to a sauna barrel, leaving Alfonso's head exposed and his body sealed in the barrel. After half an hour of "watertight" ether gas distribution, only
I heard the sound of an object falling from the barrel.
The parasite limbs on the knight's head slowly opened, and the whole person collapsed on the barrel.
