Seeing Wayne's smug figure disappearing at the end of the hall, Terrence looked at Todd with worry in his eyes: "Your Majesty, is this okay?"
Todd looked away from the report: "What do you mean?"
"If, I mean if, Wayne really unlocks the secret of the soul, then Muxi City and the church will be in a never-ending situation." Terrence looked at Todd and asked softly: "Your Majesty, are you ready?
Is it done?"
Todd neatly folded the report in his hand, handed it to Huggins, and said to Terrence: "Have you heard about the genius female mathematician Hypatia?"
The latter nodded: "I have heard a little bit."
"Hypatia is a famous female mathematician in history. She was able to complete triangulation independently when she was ten years old. The work she wrote when she was nineteen years old is difficult for others to achieve in their lifetime." Todd leaned his body against it.
Facing the back of the chair, his face was calm, but there was a little fire shining in his eyes: "Such a heavenly person
The talented woman was dragged into the church in daylight by the church fanatics of Gutero. In front of God, they tore off her clothes, pulled out her hair one by one, and used sharp clam shells to
A piece of her flesh was cut away, and finally Hypatia's still trembling body was thrown into the fire."
When Todd finished saying these words, the hall became eerily quiet.
Huggins clenched his fists unconsciously, and Terrence closed his eyes in pain.
Todd stood up from the throne and walked towards the side door behind him: "Truth and superstition will eventually have a battle. Deliberate evasion will only make more and more comrades leave in disappointment. Instead of sitting in silence and waiting to die,
It is better to find a way out through struggle."
Huggins took Wayne's report and followed Todd, leaving Terrence alone in the hall thinking quietly.
Walking in the corridor of the palace, Huggins peeked at Todd's face and said carefully: "Your Majesty, as long as you give an order, the entire Muxi City will fight for you to the last drop of blood."
Todd's footsteps did not stop: "The last drop of blood? If the war really comes to this point, then I, the king, might as well find a rope and hang myself."
"What I want to see is a hearty victory, not a tragic victory with a loss of troops." At this point, Todd's voice became smaller and smaller: "For this purpose, I must have something on hand that can be used.
The trump card.”
Huggins said in confusion: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you just said clearly."
"It's okay. How is the repair of the laboratory underground in the palace?"
Huggins said: "The cracks and collapses in the room have been repaired and reinforced, all experimental materials have been replenished, and the equipment and equipment have also been reconfigured."
"Well, how is the kingdom's ability library established now?"
"Superpower library?" Huggins was a little surprised why the king suddenly asked this, but he still answered truthfully: "After counting all the registered alien species in Muxi City, there are currently a total of 65 effective superpowers.
Scholars abandoned the classification of superpowers created by the church and reclassified and organized these superpowers."
Todd stopped and looked at Huggins with interest: "Tell me about it."
"The classification method of supernatural powers used by the church is the Tarot classification method inherited from the ancient Taylor period. Specifically, the supernatural powers are divided into twenty-two categories according to the meaning of the Tarot cards. For example, 'Sun
"The Tarot cards of "Chariot" represent abilities related to fire, and the Tarot cards of "Chariot" represent abilities related to mental enhancement. Then, according to the intensity of the abilities, each category of abilities is marked with numbers."
Todd frowned and said, "Sounds complicated."
Huggins nodded in agreement with this view: "It is indeed quite complicated. This classification is too abstract, has too many categories, and is difficult to summarize. Even the senior deacons in the Inquisition sometimes easily misclassify superpowers.
"
Todd asked curiously: "So what method do the scholars at Muxi University use to classify abilities?"
"The purpose of the new classification is to be simple and easy to understand and easy to remember." Huggins recalled the scholars' explanations and said to Todd: "Muxi University classified all abilities into five major categories, namely protection system,
Creation system, Evocation system, Change system and Universal system. Based on these five major systems of abilities, 0 to 4 are used to distinguish the strength of the abilities."
Huggins spread his hands and said to Todd: "For example, my ability in the past was "weakness", so I was classified into the evocation system. Judging from the strength of my ability, I was probably at the level of
1."
Todd smiled and said, "This method sounds much simpler."
"Yes, scholars also say that as the number of superpowers continues to increase, the classification of superpowers may continue to increase, and the intensity levels of superpowers will expand upwards. But one thing will not change. Try to make the public aware of superpowers.
We can better understand each other and get rid of the original narrow concepts, so that ordinary people can live more harmoniously with alien species."
When Todd heard this, he suddenly remembered the business he had to do before: "Hudgens, make a copy of Twilight West City's ability library and transport it to my laboratory."
"The entire superpower library? That includes a large number of bacterial petri dishes and parasite biological tanks. The current underground laboratory of the palace cannot accommodate so many things and needs to be expanded and transformed."
"Then let's transform it. This must be done as soon as possible."
"Yes, I understand."
——————————————
It was already a week later in the afternoon when Todd walked into the newly renovated underground laboratory again.
The original underground space has been expanded to more than five times. From the architectural structure point of view, three new rooms have been added: the first room is a constant-temperature warehouse, which is mainly used to store utensils for bacteria and parasites; the second room is a storage facility.
De's living room is equipped with a single bed, bookcases, tables and chairs and other furniture; the last room is the tool room, where many appliances with different functions are neatly stacked.
Huggins pointed to a bell-like thing on the experimental table and said to Todd: "Your Majesty, this device is specially made by Muxi University, using the principles of echo and sand bucket. As long as you ring this device, the ground
The guards above will hear your call and rush here as soon as possible."
Todd, who was wearing a lab coat, said to Huggins: "Very good. Have you brought the things I asked you to keep?"
Huggins took a heavy lead box from the hands of the guards, placed it on the table, took out the key from his waist, opened the lid, and presented the contents to the king: "Your Majesty, please take a look."
Looking at the intact "Amber Stone" in the box, Todd took a deep breath.
How to apply the Tyrant Virus, which can upgrade and fuse genes, to the kingdom's military and society has become Todd's most important task at the moment.
