Rachel's voice came to Todd's ears: "The latest batch of Sutherland potions produced can equip twenty-six successors, and there are about twelve pairs of mature keels. Regarding the selection of devolved successors, I
A list has been made, with military members as the highest priority, you can take a look."
After a few cursory glances, Todd lowered the list onto his lap. He stared at the woman's face and asked, "After the negotiation with the Relief Society ended that day, I saw that you seemed to have something to say?"
Rachel looked back at Todd and quickly lowered her head: "It's nothing."
Todd sighed: "You don't want the Relief Society to enter Twilight Town, do you?"
"As long as it is beneficial to Mr. Todd, as long as it is beneficial to Muxi Town, it is acceptable. Personal preferences are not important."
After hearing this, Todd got a little angry, picked up the list, slapped it on the table, and said in a low voice: "Rachel! You are so submissive that I feel strange. What I want to hear is not these perfunctory words."
Words! Tell me, where did the frank and sincere woman I met in the past who talked and laughed happily at the dinner party went?!"
Rachel raised her head, with unbreakable sadness in her eyes: "Sir Todd, the present is now, the past is the past, everything is different. On our backs, there is an extra bag called responsibility.
.Whenever we want to throw it away, we are always afraid that the beauty and preciousness inside will be shattered. Therefore, carrying forward with a heavy load is our only choice, and there is nothing wrong with that."
"As I just said, as long as it is beneficial to you and Muxi Town, I will not object." The woman's eyes regained her composure, she stood up and walked to the door, then suddenly turned back and said: "I always remember, there
At the dinner party, there was a person who deliberately curled up because he was worried about staining my clothes... That was the first time in my life that I felt kindness without benefits and demands..."
The door to the general commander's office was slowly closed.
In the huge room, Todd was the only one sitting at the table, staring blankly ahead.
————————————————
Todd, who was full of thoughts, came to the newly built Muxi College, walked to the podium in the staircase hall, and looked around. There were people sitting below, including Kendi, Ulysses, Rachel, Joe...these...
Everyone is a core member of Muxi Town and a follower who is loyal to him.
Opening the book rushed out by the printing press, Todd chose to put other things behind for the time being and concentrate on today's course. After introducing the basic subjects, he planned to talk about his major - microbiology.
The first lesson is about the categories of microorganisms and their status in the biological world.
Why teach microbiology?
In terms of xenogeneic research, Todd's power alone is too weak after all. There are many experiments with large amounts of data, such as the classification of phages, the quantification of the functions of xenogeneic bacteria, and the measurement and adjustment of superpower intensity. He simply does not have the time or the ability to do so.
Therefore, a scientific research team for xenogeneic research urgently needs to be established. However, there are some key technologies that he still intends to keep confidential, such as the production method of Sutherland bacteria and the cultivation of successors.
, Keel, Hive, Tesla and other parasites are used.
After the course, Todd rushed back to the Knights' headquarters, summoned Huggins, and planned to give him an important task.
With the development of Muxi Town, the resident structure is no longer as simple as it was in the early days. Problems such as factional struggles, lurking spies, and residents' conflicts have gradually begun to emerge. In response to such a complex environment, an organization similar to internal investigation and intelligence collection has been established.
, becomes particularly important.
In fact, Todd has already done this kind of thing. For example, he has given these places the function of intelligence collection at the Come Back Tomorrow Tavern and Sister Inn. But this kind of loose intelligence organization cannot control the growing growth of Muxi Town at all.
internal risks.
Toddes thought about the candidate for a long time. The person in charge of internal intelligence investigation must first be loyal to himself, secondly, be familiar with the town, and thirdly, be able to adapt to changes. All things considered, Huggins was the first to swear allegiance.
, most suitable for this position.
"Sir, what exactly is the Muxi Security Bureau you are talking about?" Huggins listened to Todd for a while and said with some uncertainty: "There are already escorts responsible for security maintenance in Muxi Town.
What is this new agency going to do?”
Todd looked at the other person and prompted him: "Do you still remember when we were in the monastery and preparing to fight against the pirates, your men went around to get information? The truth is actually the same. I hope you will set up a secret force and act in
In the shadow of Muxi Town, on the one hand, we monitor the residents' movements, collect intelligence in a timely manner, and identify potential threats; on the other hand, we spread our eyes and ears throughout the town and establish a bottom-up intelligence organization."
Huggins finally understood what Todd meant. After hesitating for a while, he said softly: "Sir, what about resource allocation...?"
"I will mobilize some of the successors of the investigation department from the army and allocate them to you as assistants. In addition, I will also draw a part of the property from the holy treasury as the start-up capital of the Security Bureau."
Todd stood up from his chair, turned around and walked to the shutters of the commander's office. He looked through the gap in the window at the bustling people on the street and said slowly: "After the Security Bureau is established, I will give you two
A task. First, the Holy Order Arbitration Tribunal will begin to count and interrogate the residents of the town, archive the population based on personal information and family affiliations, and issue Muxi resident identity documents. What you have to do is to secretly assist them
, and find out the nails planted by the enemy in Muxi Town. Second, target the core figures of Muxi Academy and monitor their every move to ensure that some secret things will not be publicized."
Huggins thought over Todd's words carefully.
This man who had once been a knight, served the royal family, fought against enemies, and later lived in society for a period of time, had no resistance to such an order. On the contrary, in his view, who was familiar with the laws of society, Mu Xi Town
Some control and precautions are needed. But there is one thing that he must confirm with the superior commander.
How much power can such a shady organization gain?
Huggins looked at Todd's back and asked in a low voice: "What should I do if I find a bad guy?"
"What you want to ask about is the authority of the Security Bureau, right? First, I allow you to use the Successor Squad; second, I allow you to arrest first and report later; third, I allow you to use psychic aliens for interrogation."
Huggins turned his gaze to his toes and said in a lower voice: "If someone among the bad guys is a core member of the Knights, or even your friend, then what should I do?"
Todd's body stopped moving, and after a while, his voice was a little dry: "Treat them all the same, regardless of differences."
Listening to the sound of the door closing behind him, Todd stretched out his hand and grabbed the window frame feebly, muttering: "Responsibility..."
