Doing ridiculous things does help to relax the body and mind, even though the consequence is that Salomon has to sleep on the sofa for a week and has to wash his face fifty times a day before Bayonetta will kiss him, but Salomon is still very happy.
Happily, the witch finally forgave this idiot who only smiled stupidly after doing something stupid.
After that, he once again became the efficient and pragmatic king of the immortal city at work, the responsible image in Victor von Doom's mouth. For those in the internal affairs department and intelligence
For the low-level office staff of the department, the king of the Eternal City is such a person. In the eyes of some people who participated in the Battle of Finnbowent, this image also adds some fantasy elements, such as a big, shiny man.
.
However, for senior executives like Stephanie and her little secretary Diana Lister, especially female employees, they often get some exquisite little gifts from Salomon. Stephanie thinks that should be Salomon
The by-product of practicing making magic items is the magic jewelry that has not yet been enchanted. Simply put, it is a waste product, probably because a certain magic array line is arranged incorrectly and cannot be enchanted. After all, there is no magic PCB designed specifically for drawing.
software and printing tools, and making these things is a manual hobby. Just like cooking, Salomon does not take it too seriously.
Anyway, he can afford those cheap materials, and only precious metals like gold and silver require a small expense.
As Salomon's Praetorian Guard, Constantine knew exactly what happened that day, but he did not interfere. Because his job was to serve the monarch, no matter what Salomon did, he would agree to it. This is written in
The course of action in DNA. It’s just that he cannot understand the emotions of the monarch, because genetic alchemy has completely erased most of the emotional needs of the Guards. Even if they still retain their independent personality, they can only desire to serve the monarch and
It was the completion of the mission issued for the monarch that gave him a sense of duty. In Salomon's words, completing the mission would make the Guardsmen feel like a cartoon bird was happily hovering above their heads, and then making a nest on their helmets.
Constantine let out a long sigh after hearing the monarch's metaphor. He had no idea what it meant.
The reason for using genetic alchemy is to completely prevent the Praetorian Guards from being corrupted by outer dimensions.
When the genetic alchemy is completed, no magic will be able to affect the spirit of the Praetorian Guard. To extradimensional energy and energy creatures, the soul of the Praetorian Guard is as indestructible as a piece of refined vibranium.
The soul and spirit of the Praetorian Guards are designed to be solid and durable tools that will never tire. Corrupting the Praetorian Guards is as difficult as using water from a faucet to clean away the atoms on a large piece of vibranium one by one.
If you want to achieve such an effect, you must first endure the double mental and physical torture caused by genetic alchemy. Only one person in a million can endure it.
Constantine personally supervised the preoperative surgeries on the children on the list. Even the preparations before the start of genetic alchemy, two boys failed to make it through. The Extremis virus can put genes in a state of readiness for adjustment at any time.
However, this process was quite painful, and many adults died in unbearable pain, let alone two children.
Although Constantine cannot remember what he was like before he underwent genetic modification, Constantine believes that he should be the first experimental subject to survive, because the monarch said that his ability to complete the transformation was "a thing that was destined to happen."
. He had no idea why the monarch was so sure that he would survive. When he asked, Salomon chose to remain silent.
This was rare, as Salomon rarely hid secrets from Constantine. However, Constantine was not too persistent, and it was not his mission to explore these secrets.
His mission today is to go to Los Angeles to meet with Wanda Maximoff to inquire about the progress of Ghost Rider's mission. The Scarlet Witch has delayed this mission for too long, and even his monarch cannot continue to let Wanda delay it.
——The Immortal City is not a voluntary organization like the Avengers. All tasks cannot be changed according to personal ideas. Even if Wanda Maximoff is the apprentice of the monarch, she cannot violate the rules. If Wanda fails to complete the task or
If he wants to change the mission goal for some reason, Constantine will continue the mission because he is the monarch's unshakable will.
Gu Du
However, he still carries some non-lethal weapons on his assault transport craft and anti-gravity jetbike.
For example, the electric shock net gun can release high-voltage current that can stun an adult elephant in an instant; there are also gravity weapons developed through the gravity technology of dark elves, which can push the target away and keep it at a certain distance from the user.
distance. These things are all experimental models, because the Immortal City only needs lethal weapons in most cases, and the occasions that require non-lethal weapons are as rare as some endangered animals.
However, not everyone was as calm as Constantine. When Stephanie knew that the power structure of the Eternal City had changed, she almost fainted from excitement. She didn't know why Salomon wanted Victor von Doom.
Come to serve as regent, and when he is unable to exercise the power of the Eternal City, let that person - in her words, "a guy who comes out of nowhere" - take charge of the entire system. She originally thought that the candidate would be her
herself, because the Malik family played a great role in the development of the Eternal City, and she is also Salomon's most trusted assistant. This kind of thing is not only a challenge to her power, but also shakes up the Malik family
status.
When she walked straight to Salomon's desk to ask for an explanation, Salomon stopped what he was doing and invited her to sit on the sofa. He also poured her a glass of red wine and motioned for her to go first.
He took a sip, then sat on the sofa opposite, saying softly, "You haven't been able to get rid of the influence of the Malik family. To be precise, it's the influence of your father, Gideon Malik."
"What does this mean?" Stephanie frowned, her tone full of dissatisfaction. "The Malik family has already offered Hydra, isn't it still worthy of trust?"
"So are you determined to sacrifice the Malik family for the Eternal City?" Salomon took Stephanie's hand and asked softly with raised eyebrows.
Stephanie seemed to be choking on the air.
Salomon did not continue to press, but changed his position and sat next to her. "I know this is very difficult, so you will hesitate, and I understand you. I understand that it is quite harsh to make such a request, but you have to understand that in this world
There is no permanent alliance in the world. The Malik family is becoming more and more powerful now. If one day the Malik family cannot reach an agreement and embarks on the opposite path to the Immortal City, you must make a decision to avoid irreparable losses. It is necessary
When you have to give the order to kill your loved ones, because you are the head of the internal affairs department and not a feudal vassal. Although this may not happen, no one can say what will happen in the future. I understand you, Stephanie
, you love your family very much, but the job of regent requires that the incumbent be ruthless. If you want this job, it means that your spirit will be tortured extremely horribly. I don't want you to be tortured, Stephanie.
"
"So is Victor von Doom ruthless enough?"
"He is a guy who will do anything to achieve his goals. In order to find a way to save his mother, he even did not hesitate to sentence Kama Taj. He endured the pursuit again and again until the Supreme Mage took action. He survived, and that is the problem. His Holiness
I valued a certain trait in him, so I didn't kill him." He said, "I need Victor von Doom, okay?"
"Okay." Salomon hugged Stephanie's shoulders. Under such a gentle offensive, Stephanie could no longer care about who should be given the position of regent. After all, everything in the Malik family now belongs to Salomon.
Given that, she couldn't make any decision against Salomon. "But -" she dragged her voice until Salomon looked into her eyes, "- as long as I live, the Malik family will not
Betray the Eternal City, I promise you."
"That's really thoughtful." Salomon smiled and hid his disbelief, "You can have a day off today. Do you want to watch the live broadcast of Constantine's mission together? Maybe there will be guards and evil spirits.
A knight's duel, I believe it will be very exciting."
