After listening to Mary's statement, Todd felt incredible: "Can you remember everything you have experienced?"
The woman sat back on the chair: "Since I can remember, all the things that have happened, when I think back, they are not some vague fragments, but complete pictures that only happened for a few seconds. My mother once told me
, No matter what happens, no matter who I face, I must conceal this ability. I pretended to be an ordinary person and lived like this for twenty years."
Mary looked at the ground and clasped her fingers together: "Happiness, satisfaction, sadness, despair...the stronger the emotion, the more profound the impression, the more such things will appear in my mind. In order to
To prevent myself from repeating those painful experiences over and over again, I had to create more beautiful memories for myself to replace the former. Dinner parties, cocktail parties, outings, jewelry, famous paintings... I used these memories to force myself little by little.
Don't think about those terrible things..."
After Todd heard this, he finally understood why Queen Mary liked luxurious things and lingered in bars and dances. He suddenly thought of something and asked: "About the imitation of the kingdom's seal, is it also because of your alien ability?"
Mary nodded.
Todd asked again: "You have been hiding your abilities in the past, why are you confessing all this to me now?"
The woman raised her head and looked at him, and said softly: "In Muxi Town, such concealment is meaningless."
Todd immediately understood what she meant. After thinking for a long time, he nodded and said: "Mary, from now on, you will be responsible for the management of the Holy Treasury and Mutual Aid Society in Muxi Town. Regarding the allocation of assistants, you
You can recruit yourself or retain the original staff."
After sending the woman away, Todd called the liaison officer of the Knights and asked him to notify Rachel and Huggins to come to the Grand Master's office and find him something to eat and drink.
Half an hour later, while drinking seafood and vegetable soup and chewing on wheat cheese cake, Todd held a meeting with Rachel and Huggins.
The head of the regiment first asked about Cosette's situation.
The abbess of the nunnery looked a little exhausted: "It took a lot of effort to finally stabilize her mood. The chefs in the hotel prepared a lot of good dishes for her, Karin, Pamela
She and several other heterogeneous girls are taking care of her. They are all of the same age, so it is more convenient to chat together than us..."
Rachel's words directly ignored Todd's age, but the three people present seemed to have no objections.
After drinking the last mouthful of soup and swallowing the last piece of cake, Todd beat his chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Huggins: "How are the troops attacking Viscount Barrett?"
Huggins, who was wearing a suit of armor, took off his helmet. The parasite's limbs covered his head like petals in bud. He nodded and said: "The property, prisoners and civilians all arrived safely at Dusk."
Xizhen, but there is a troublesome problem. There are 39 people in the Viscount’s family, how do you plan to deal with it?"
Todd thought for a while: "Let's leave it to the arbitration tribunal and let Dion check whether they have committed any crime. By the way, regarding this battle, remember to give the rewards agreed in advance to every soldier."
Seeing Huggins nodding in agreement, Todd sat up straight and said seriously: "I brought you two here because I want to talk to you about something serious - I want to set up a biochemical factory."
Since there was no word in Common or Latin, Todd had to briefly explain the meaning of this word to Rachel and Huggins.
After explaining, Todd pulled out a stack of design drawings and production methods from the drawer, and said: "The biochemical factory is currently mainly responsible for producing three things: the first is, the second is Sutherland and the potion of alien abilities, and finally
One is nitroglycerin explosive. I have written down the production methods and precautions for all items here. There is also this document, which is some suggestions for factory management methods, including,,, etc. "
Spreading out the papers in his hand one by one, and after explaining them in detail, Todd said to Rachel: "About the preparation of the biochemical factory, there are several things to pay attention to: first, confidentiality, second, safety, and third, in
In terms of production ratio, war needs are the top priority, followed by expansion, and finally Muxi Town’s industrial needs.”
Rachel asked: "As for the explosives used in the last battle, I heard that a material called saltpeter is very expensive. There is not much stock in the town. Do I need to buy it from a nearby town?"
"You can buy it from nearby, but the quantity doesn't need to be large. Before I think of a solution, I just need to produce enough explosives for each expedition." Todd touched the bridge of his nose and said to Huggins: "Rachel
Responsible for the preparation of the biochemical factory, you need to be responsible for the continued expansion of the Knights."
Picking up a simple map from the desk, Todd pointed at the territory of the Silver Ring Kingdom: "The entire kingdom has more than 900 noble fiefdoms of almost all sizes. The noble fiefdoms within 100 kilometers of Guangmu West Town are
There are more than forty. Among them are the barons who only control two or three small villages, and the dukes and crown princes who occupy most of the Falling Star Mountains and the North Quarry. Huggins, I hope you will come from Muxi Town
Begin to attack the surrounding areas, giving priority to attacking those small lords with no more than 200 troops. In terms of arms, use aliens, sergeants and militiamen. When fighting in the field, use more squads. When fighting in the city, use explosive packs. Eradicate the surrounding areas of Muxi Town.
Those fortresses and fortresses ensure that the mobile force of the Muxi Knights can move unimpeded on the plains. Of course, your own safety must be the first priority. You can discuss the specific strategies and tactics with Cumberland."
After discussing some more details, Todd watched the two of them disappear at the door. He took out a few pieces of white paper from the table and began to write quickly. Before he could write a full page, there was a knock on the door.
"Master General, there is a group of people who want to meet you with Mr. Qiao's recommendation."
Todd frowned, put down the pen in his hand, and thought to himself: Why is it Friar Joe again?
After agreeing, Todd watched in surprise as a group of people walked in from the door, including students, monks and ordinary residents.
The nervous people, after bowing respectfully to the legendary Son of God, looked at each other a few times, and finally one student spoke first: "Sir, my name is Ulysses Beecher, and this is Lynn.
Wilcotes, this is..."
Todd held his forehead with his hand and stopped the other person's words with one hand: "Let's put the introduction later. Let's talk about why you came to me first."
Ulysses swallowed and explained: "My teacher is Master Terrence. He has been studying physics all his life. Through his research notes and the instruments designed by Mr. Linn, I think
We may have discovered something - beneath our feet, there is a force that is pulling everything in this world underground..."
When Ulysses said this, he felt regret for no reason: I must be crazy to actually talk about these things to the head of the Knights of the Church.
Todd was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said something that stunned everyone.
