Alien Knights

After listening to Mary's statement, Todd felt incredible: "Can you remember everything you have experienced?"

The woman sat back in the chair again: "Since I can remember, all the things that have happened, when I think back, they are not some blurred fragments, but a complete picture that only happened for a few seconds. My mother once told me that no matter what happens, no matter who you face, you must hide this ability. I pretended to be an ordinary person and lived like this for twenty years."

Mary turned her eyes to the ground and clasped her fingers tightly together: "Happiness, contentment, sadness, despair...the stronger the emotion and the deeper the impression, the more such things will appear in my mind. In order not to repeat those painful experiences over and over again, I have to create more beautiful memories for myself to replace the former. Dinner parties, receptions, outings, jewelry, famous paintings...I use these memories to force myself to not think of those terrible things..."

When Todd heard this, he finally understood a little why Queen Mary liked luxurious things and lingered at wine halls and dances. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "The imitation of the kingdom's seal is also because of your alien ability?"

Mary nodded.

Todd asked again: "You have been hiding your ability in the past, why are you confessing all this to me now?"

The woman raised her head to look at him, and said softly: "In Muxi Town, this kind of concealment is meaningless."

Todd understood what she meant in an instant. After thinking for a long time, he nodded and said, "Mary, from now on, you will be in charge of the management of the Sanctuary and Mutual Aid Club in Muxi Town. As for the staffing of assistants, you can recruit yourself or keep the original staff."

After seeing the woman off, Todd called the liaison officer of the Knights Order and asked him to inform Rachel and Hudgens to come to the Chief Commander's Office and find something to eat and drink for himself.

Half an hour later, Todd, over a minestrone soup and nibbling a barley cheese pie, held a meeting with Rachel and Hudgens.

The head of the delegation first asked about Cosette's situation.

The dean of the convent looked a little exhausted: "It took a lot of effort to finally stabilize her mood. The cooks in the hotel prepared a lot of good dishes for her. Karin, Pamela and several other girls of different races are taking care of her. They are all the same age, and it is more convenient to chat together than we want..."

Rachel's words directly ignored Todd's age, but the three people present seemed to have no objections.

After drinking the last sip of soup and the last piece of cake, Todd beat his chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Huggins, "How is the army that attacked Viscount Barrett?"

Huggins, who was wearing a suit of armor, took off his helmet, and the limbs of the "keel" parasite wrapped his head like budding petals. He nodded and said, "The property, captives and civilians have all arrived in Muxi Town safely, but there is a troublesome question. There are 39 people in the Viscount's family. What do you plan to do with it?"

Todd thought for a while: "Leave it to the arbitration tribunal, and let Dion check whether they have committed a crime. By the way, regarding this battle, remember to distribute 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 a serious matter - I want to set up a biochemical factory."

Since the word "biochemical" does not exist in Common Language or Latin, Todd had to explain the meaning of this word to Rachel and Huggins.

After the explanation, Todd took out a stack of design drawings and production methods from the drawer, and said: "The biochemical factory is currently mainly responsible for the production of three things: the first is the 'Pyrochemical Bacteria Fuel Tank', the second is the potion of Sutherland and the alien ability, and the last is the 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 the factory management method, including 'flow-based division of work', 'superior product classification method', 'piece-rate remuneration' ’, ‘Production Safety Rules’ and so on.”

After spreading out the papers in his hand and explaining them in detail, Todd said to Rachel: "There are a few things to pay attention to regarding the preparation of the biochemical factory: one is confidentiality, the other is safety, and the third is in terms of production ratio, the war needs are the top priority, followed by the expansion of the "Successor", and finally the industrial needs of Muxi Town."

Rachel asked: "About the explosives used in the last battle, I heard that there is a material called saltpeter that is particularly expensive, and there are not many stocks in the town. Do I need to buy it from nearby towns?"

"You can buy it from nearby, but the quantity doesn't need to be large. Before I think of a solution, as long as the explosives produced are enough for each expedition." Todd touched the bridge of his nose and said to Huggins: "Rachel is in charge of the preparation of the biochemical factory, and you need to be in charge of the continued expansion of the Knights."

Picking up a simple map from the desk, Todd pointed to the territory of the Silver Ring Kingdom with his finger: "The whole kingdom has more than 900 aristocratic fiefdoms, and there are more than 40 aristocratic fiefdoms within 100 kilometers of Guangmu West Town. There are barons who only control two or three small villages, and there are also dukes and crown princes who occupy most of the Luoxing Mountain Range and the North Quarry. Huggins, I hope you start from the surrounding areas of Muxi Town, and give priority to attacking those small lords with no more than 200 troops. In terms of arms, match different species, sergeants, and militia. When fighting in the field, use the "Successor" team more, and use explosive kits when attacking the city. Pull out the fortresses and forts around Muxi Town to ensure that the mobile forces of the Muxi Knights can be unimpeded on the plain. Of course, your own safety should be the first priority. You can consult with Cumberland for specific strategies and tactics."

After discussing some details, Todd watched the two disappear at the gate, took out a few blank sheets of paper from the table, and began to write quickly. Before writing a page, there was a knock on the gate.

"Master Chief, there are a group of people who are recommended by Mr. Qiao and wish to meet you."

Todd frowned, put down the pen in his hand, and thought to himself: Why is it Brother Joe again?

After agreeing, Todd watched in surprise, a group of people walked in from the door, including students, monks and ordinary residents.

The nervous people looked at each other after respectfully saluting the legendary Holy Son, and finally a student spoke first, "My lord, my name is Ulysses Beecher, this is Lynn Wilcox, this is..."

Todd supported his forehead with his hand, and stopped the other party's words with one hand: "Let's put the introduction later, let's talk about what you came to me for."

Ulysses swallowed, and explained: "My teacher is Master Terrence, who has been studying physics all his life. Through his research notes and the "pendulum" instrument designed by Mr. Lynn, I think we may have discovered one thing——under our feet, there is a force that is pulling everything in this world to the ground..."

When Ulysses said this, he regretted for no reason: I must be crazy, and I would talk about these things with the head of the Knights of the Church.

Todd was silent for a while, and suddenly he said something that left everyone dumbfounded.

"Did you say gravity? 』
