Alien Knights

　　 Facing the cold wind, the warship moved forward through the waves.

　　 Todd sat on the side of the ship on the right side, glanced at Karin, who was standing on the bow with excitement and screaming, and sighed.

　　 Huggins slid the oars in his hands, panting, and asked him: "How long do we probably stay on the island?"

The monk took out the notepad from his arms, looked at the pencil mark on it, and said while thinking: "According to the confession of the "Grey Skull" prisoner, considering the time between stays and the spring countercurrent factor, we may have to Only after staying on Waiheke Island for two days can you leave for the mainland."

　　 Huggins nodded in order to understand.

　　 Karin turned her head in surprise: "Go to Waiheke Island?! Shouldn't we go to the Northern Islands?"

Todd closed the notebook and glanced at the girl: "Have I said I'm going to the north?" Then he added another sentence: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. I said before you got on the boat. This trip will be very boring,"

　　 Karin's smiling face suddenly collapsed.

　　 An hour later, the warship stopped at the shallows of Waiheke Island.

　　 Huggins commanded the crowd to pull the hull ashore, lifted the tarpaulin in the cabin, and began to check the glass in the crate.

　　 Todd sat on the big rocks in the shallows, opened the map he carried with him, and observed this small island only four kilometers from the west coast of dusk. Seen from above, the island is oval in shape, no more than 400 acres in size. The shore is a sand bed formed by alluvial sand and gravel, and the inner part is a dense forest. There is a live spring in the center of the island. The place where the spring water flows through forms a continuous stream. This is why the whitewater island is named after.

　　 Close the map, Todd turned his attention to the helper beside Huggins. There are nine people in total, and men call them "reliable acquaintances." Whether it is paddling and controlling sails or carrying goods, these people are skillful, uniform, silent, and work hard.

　　 Just when the monk was still guessing the identity of these people, Karin came to him, took his hand, and led him to the depths of the island.

　　 "Hey, hello! Karin, where are you going to take me?!"

　　 The girl ignored Todd's protest and dragged him into the forest away from the shallows, and said angrily: "Let's make an exchange!"

　　The latter was confused: "Exchange?"

Karin pointed his finger to Todd's forehead: "I want you to tell me your so-called crazy plan! Huggins is always playing puzzles with me, Edgar is still talking nonsense without knowing anything, you always do everything. Don't want to tell me!"

　　 The girl paused, bit her lip tightly, and continued: "In exchange, I will tell you a secret about me."

　　 Todd frowned: "What about your secret?"

　　 "Yes, a secret I never told anyone!"

　　 Is it difficult...

　　 Todd's heartbeat speeds up suddenly.

　　 took a deep breath and waited for his emotions to calm down, he thought about it, and now he showed the plan to Karin in its entirety, as if it didn't seem to be a big problem, he cleared his throat and said slowly.

　　In the beginning, the purpose of this plan was to achieve three goals.

　　 1. Establish a base area belonging to a different species in Muxi Seaport to completely get rid of the situation under the fence.

　　Second, find ways to get out of the vortex of struggle between the church faction and the ascetic faction, and try our best to keep the relationship with the two factions from becoming hostile.

　　3. If possible, think of a way to get rid of the obnoxious priest Paul, or make him lose power.

Although the church agreed to hand over the Port of Muxi to Todd, this was premised on helping to invade the monastery, which undoubtedly conflicted with the second point, and after the church achieved its goal, it was likely to cross the river and demolish the bridge; if he chooses to stay out of the matter, in the struggle between the two factions Negative responses will definitely be taken back by the church and the right to operate the seaport.

　　 Therefore, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to formulate a detailed plan and achieve the above three goals at the same time. But these three goals complement each other, and failure to achieve any one of them may cause unforeseen consequences.

　　 Fortunately, Todd finally came up with a whimsical solution.

　　 The first step is to use the glass processing technology of the previous life to produce craft-grade glass products that are inaccessible in this era, and fake these glasses into artistic works of the Tyrolean Empire.

　　 The second step is to grasp the dynamics of pirates going south and study the power situation of the northern islands.

　　 The third step is to maintain a good relationship with the church forces so that they can borrow troops from the pirates in the future.

　　 The fourth step is to let Huggins spread the false news that Tyro’s treasure is buried in the northern archipelago between the villages and towns.

　　 The fifth step is to cooperate with the church army to destroy the pirates, ensure the safety of the channel, and seize the warships.

　　 In the sixth step, Todd took the initiative to spread the false news that he was going north. In fact, he used a pirate warship to load glass and hide to the island closest to the mainland-Waiheke Island.

　　 The seventh step, after waiting for a period of time, Todd will take a warship full of Tyrol treasures, pretend to have discovered the treasures of the northern islands, and return in triumph. And through ways such as building momentum, the church's attention was shifted from occupying the monastery to the glass.

　　 At present, the plan has only been implemented to the seventh step, and the three goals are basically half of the success.

It is worth mentioning that when the pirates were suppressed ~www.NovelMTL.com~, the whole plan almost failed completely due to the misestimation of the fighting strength of the "Grey Skulls" tribe. Fortunately, Alfonso de Carvor turned the tide and settled the madness. Warrior Sacruo.

　　 Hearing this, Karin raised her own question.

　　 "Why can't you directly exchange glass-making technology to obtain help from the church, but instead use the guise of "Taylor Treasure" and so much effort?"

　　 Todd explained it in a hypothetical way.

If you dedicate glass making technology to the church, the best case is to get a reward, and the worst case is that the church will kill people who have no use value in order to prevent the spread of glass craftsmanship. .

　　 If you use the name of Tyro’s Treasure, you can offer your treasure to the church. Without any naval power, the church who knows nothing about the northern islands will have to rely on themselves to help themselves build the Muxi Seaport in order to obtain more glass products.

　　 Hearing this, Karin finally got an intuitive impression of Todd's plan, but she faintly felt that this plan was not as simple as it seemed, and there were some deeper things hidden that the other party did not tell herself.

　　 Todd rubbed his hands, and blinked at the girl's eyes, looking expectantly: "So, what's your secret?"

　　 Karin frowned and thought for a while, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it into the distance. In the next second, her figure appeared where the stone fell.

"My alien ability is attachment. I can attach my body to any object I touch and move a certain distance with it." After saying this, Karin found Todd's expression depressed and disappointed in his eyes, and hurriedly continued: "My ability is very useful!"

　　 Todd waved his hand and walked heavily towards the beach.
