Alien Knights

Rachel's voice came from Todd's ear: "The latest batch of "Sutherland Potion" can equip twenty-six successors, and there are about twelve pairs of mature "keel bones". Regarding the selection of those who will be sent down, I have made a list, with the army members as the highest priority, you can take a look."

After taking a quick glance, and lowering the list on his lap, Todd stared at the woman's face and asked, "After the negotiation with the Relief Society was over 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 going to Mudsey, do you?"

"As long as it is beneficial to Lord Todd, as long as it is beneficial to Muxi Town, it is acceptable. Personal preference is not important."

Hearing this, Todd, who was a little angry, picked up the list and slapped it on the table heavily, with a low voice: "Rachel! You make me feel strange to you who are substantive, and what I want to hear are not these perfunctory words! Tell me, where did that frank and sincere woman I met in the past who talked and laughed at dinner parties go?!"

Rachel raised her head, with indelible sadness in her eyes: "Lord Todd, the present is the present, 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 smashed to pieces. Therefore, moving forward with a heavy load is our only choice, and there is nothing wrong with it."

"As I said just now, 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, she suddenly turned her head and said, "I always remember that at that dinner party, there was a person who chose to curl up on purpose because he was worried about staining my clothes... That was the first time in my life that I felt kindness without benefits or demands..."

The door to the chief's room was slowly closed.

In the huge room, only Todd sat at the table, staring blankly at the front.

———————————————

Todd, who was full of thoughts, came to the newly built Muxi College, walked to the podium in the staircase hall, and looked around. The seats below were full of people, Kendy, Ulysses, Rachel, Joe...these people were the core members of Muxi Town and loyal followers of him.

Opening the book that was produced by the printing press, Todd chose to temporarily forget other things and concentrate on today's lesson. After introducing the basic subjects, he plans to talk about his own major—microbiology. The first lesson is the group of microorganisms and the status of microorganisms in the biological world.

Why teach microbiology?

In terms of research on alien species, Todd's strength alone is too weak. There are many experiments with a large amount of data, such as the classification of phages, the quantification of the functions of alien bacteria, and the measurement and adjustment of the strength of abilities. He has no time or energy to study. Therefore, a scientific research team for heterogeneous research urgently needs to be established. However, there are some key technologies that he still intends to keep secret, such as the production method of Sutherland bacteria, the cultivation of "successors", the use of parasites such as "keel", "hive", and "Tesla".

After the course was over, Todd rushed back to the headquarters of the Knights Order, recruited Huggins, and planned to give him an important task.

With the development of Muxi Town, the structure of residents is no longer as simple as it was in the early days, and problems such as factional struggles, hidden spies, and conflicts among residents have gradually emerged. In view of such a complex environment, it is especially important to form an agency similar to internal investigation and intelligence collection.

In fact, Todd has already been doing such things, such as the "Come Back Tomorrow" tavern and "Sister Hotel", and he has given these places the function of intelligence collection. But this kind of loose intelligence organization cannot control the growing internal risks in Muxi Town at all.

In terms of candidates, Todd thought for a long time. The person in charge of internal intelligence investigation must first be loyal to himself, second, be familiar with the town, and third, be able to adapt to changes. After comprehensive consideration, Huggins, who was the first to swear allegiance, is the most suitable for this position.

"My lord, what are you talking about... the overall situation in Muxi?" Huggins listened to Todd for a while, and then said with some uncertainty: "In Muxi Town, there is already a security team responsible for maintaining security. What will this newly established organization do?"

Todd looked at the other party and reminded him: "Do you still remember that when we were in the monastery and were preparing to fight against pirates, your men went around to inquire about information? The reason is similar. I hope you set up a secret army to operate in the shadow of Muxi Town. On the one hand, you can monitor the movements of the residents, collect intelligence in time, and find out potential threats;

Huggins finally understood Todd's deep meaning. After hesitating for a while, he said softly: "My lord, what about resource mobilization...?"

"I will mobilize some "reconnaissance successors" from the army and assign them to you as assistants. In addition, I will also draw part of the property from the holy treasury as the start-up funds for the Security Bureau."

Todd stood up from his chair, turned around and walked to the shutters of the chief commander's office, looked at the bustling people on the street through the window, and said slowly: "After the establishment of the Security Bureau, I will give you two tasks. First, the Holy Order Arbitration Tribunal will start to count and check the residents in the town, and file the population based on personal information and family affiliation, and issue the "Music Resident Status Document". What you have to do is to secretly assist them and find out the nails that the enemy has planted in Muxi Town. Second, target the core figures of Muxi Academy, monitor their every move, and ensure that some secret things will not be publicized."

Huggins recalled Todd's words carefully.

This man who used to be a knight, served the royal family, fought against enemies, and mixed up and down in society for a period of time has no resistance to such orders. On the contrary, in his opinion, who is familiar with the "laws of society", Muxi Town needs some "control" and "prevention". But there is one thing that he has to confirm with the superior chief.

How much power can this shady organization gain?

Huggins looked at Todd's back and asked in a low voice, "What should I do if I find someone who is wrongdoing?"

"What you want to ask is the authority of the Security Bureau, right? First, I allow you to use the "Successor" team; second, I allow you to implement "capture first and then report"; third, I allow you to use psychic aliens for interrogation."

Huggins turned his gaze to his own toes, and his voice became softer: "If some of the rogues are core members of the knight order, or even your friends, what should I do?"

Todd's body stopped moving, and after a while, his voice was a little dry: "Treat the same, regardless of differences."

Hearing the sound of the door closing behind him, Todd reached out and grasped the window frame weakly, and murmured, "Is it your responsibility..."
