The Praetorian Guards are a great work of genetic engineering. Even Maya Hansen, who helped the Emperor create them, did not fully understand the technical principles. The greatest invention in her life, the Extremis Virus, was only tens of thousands of One of the many tools used in the third stage of transformation during the process. In subsequent tests on experimental subjects, Maya Hansen has proven that the encapsulation function of the Guards' genetic engineering ensures that its genetic information will not be leaked. Ordinary blood-sucking insects will not undergo any changes due to the blood of the Guards. In fact Those insects would scramble to escape from the compounds secreted by the sweat glands used by the Praetorians to protect and cleanse the body.

Some research results indicate that some more advanced factors may play a decisive role. The Sola Red Forest Druid Order discovered that even if the sweat glands secrete compounds as moist as possible, the effectiveness of these compounds in repelling mosquitoes will be weakened to varying degrees after they are far away from the body surface of the Imperial Guards. Considering some of the genetic engineering involved in the Druid Order of Sola Redwood, they believe that it may be the radiation produced by the molded souls of the Praetorian Guards on surrounding creatures that forces the mosquitoes to stay away.

High Priest Mary believed that this was because the emperor used his soul to sublimate the Praetorian Guards. As a perfect human being, the Emperor would have an impact on all species on the biological chain, and the Praetorian Guards also had some similar potential abilities. However, there is no evidence for this statement. The emperor will not allow them to get involved in the genetic modification process controlled by others. Those who do so will face the punishment of completely disappearing from the material universe and the sea of ​​souls.

But no matter what, the Guards did not have to worry about being troubled by naturally evolved blood-sucking insects, so Constantine just laughed at Supiluliumas's joke, and even the supplies sent to South America were prohibited. There was also no medication to repel mosquitoes or treat malaria in that part of the Guard. The sense of presence of the Guards is so strong that even a blind man can feel their presence from a few hundred meters away. If they don't hold their breath and sneak, the Guards won't even have a chance to catch wild animals for food. However, according to Constantine's understanding, Supiluliumas' power armor life support system did not consume as much nutritional paste as expected, which shows that his daily life in the South American rainforest is not boring.

"Say hello to Camilla for me, Supiluliumas, she mentioned your help many times in the briefing." Constantine interrupted the call on the communication network, sat behind the main desk of the monarch's office, lowered his head and continued Handled official business. The desk and chair specially designed to adapt to Superman's body shape allow Constantine to sit on it while wearing armor. The extraordinary ergonomic design can make the user very comfortable, rather than making the whole body uncomfortable like the throne in the hall.

Now that both the monarch and the regent are not in the castle, Constantine, who also has high-level authority, has to interface with Stephanie Malik, the chief of the Council of the Interior Department, to approve some of the instructions and work reports that the monarch had previously given to various departments, and then Give it to staff to number and file for future reference by those with appropriate authority.

This part of the work is not complicated, most of it is repetitive. After all, these are the efforts of the following departments to complete the emperor's tasks. For example, the catechist system was retained by the regency after the war. A group of educated scholars, garrison officers, and full-time catechists who came to Latovinia from the Eternal City entered free night schools for adults.

While they were learning knowledge and skills from the vast number of people at the bottom of Yugoslavia in order to enter the factories that were being built to solve their food and clothing problems, they also explained the emperor's decrees to them in the most intuitive way to avoid the malicious distortion of self-media in the information age. They used materialistic, scientific and rational methods to explain to these civilians the emperor's grand ideal of uniting the people of the world, and why it was necessary to launch a war to snatch them back from the modern slavery constructed by the comprador class and hypocritical politicians, starting from the bottom To discover support for the emperor among the people and provide a way to join the emperor's cause, which is a union dedicated to liberating all mankind, an organization that unites everyone regardless of class, race and other external factors.

This is not an easy job, but the regent requires such preachers to be present in every free school in the country. This order comes with a large number of infrastructure construction, orders for book printing plants, orders for tables and chairs, power grid layout, labor Reform camp course schedule, etc. Stephanie Malik and Diana Lister used genius coordinating skills to complete the arrangement of this long work, breaking down the orders into different parts and issuing them to various departments. The Ministry of Internal Affairs allowed the departments to synchronize with super high efficiency Work to make them as coordinated and efficient as the legs of a long-distance runner.

In this new union, the efficiency of the interior department is the key to the initial realization of the emperor's great vision. For this reason, the authority of the interior department is second only to the regent. Stephanie Malik, who has almost all the trust of the emperor, is also keen to use her own hands. power - such as putting drugs that can reduce personal desires into the drinking water of low-level civil servants. This is not the first time Stephanie Malik has wanted to do this. She also plans to adjust the seats of civil servants so that they can Being able to sit calmly while maintaining an uncomfortable tilt angle allows them to work faster.

Comfort means ease, ease means slackness, slackness means obesity, obesity means laziness, laziness means dereliction of duty, and dereliction of duty is the most intolerable crime of the Malik family.

Even though Constantine had expected how crazy Stephanie Malik would be, the reality was far beyond his imagination. Stephanie Malik seemed to have learned that both the emperor and the regent were not in the castle, and that Constantine, the commander of the Praetorian Guards, was acting on official duties, so she hurried into the office and tried to persuade Constantine to let her extreme ideas pass. , and also emphasized that these measures can greatly improve the office efficiency of the entire administrative system. However, until Stephanie Malik's next meeting, Constantine did not agree to her unreliable suggestions. Stephanie Malik promised that she would come back. The commander of the Praetorian Guards pessimistically It is thought that this harassment will not cease until the return of the monarch or regent.

After finishing the repetitive tasks at hand, Constantine started to try another challenge.

But he soon regretted it.

The previous work was just the tip of the iceberg of endless work. In addition to these, there were also issues in the military, industry, culture, public security, etc., twelve discussions on judicial regulations with legal scholars and judges, five meetings with the supreme commander of the provincial garrison, and The political commissar’s conversation, the conversation with the transportation department on formulating the inter-provincial high-speed maglev train network...the cumbersome numbers on the schedules, expectations tables, and proposal documents all raised Constantine’s blood pressure. The countdown to those people's arrival at the castle is still running, and every second that passes on the business schedule will make Constantine a little more irritable. If he has to go to the meeting instead of the monarch, it means that he must read and Understand what these numbers mean.

He could not imagine how the monarch could quickly and accurately create the most suitable solution from a blank, then magically find the most suitable person to execute the order and the way to execute the order, and then issue an order to coordinate the required resources. . Just looking at the problems reflected from the bottom of the administrative system, civilian petitions, disputes between departments and other official documents made him feel so irritable that the life-support temperature control system of the power armor had to start working to lower his body temperature. and blood pressure under non-exercise conditions. Constantine doubted whether humans would die suddenly if they took over these tasks.

He knew that these tasks should have been handed over to the administrative system established by the emperor, but the available manpower is really scarce now, and a large number of people who can work within the system are still receiving education. Therefore, the emperor and the regent have to help the administrative system share the work to avoid the current situation. All available people died of exhaustion.

"I'm back, Constantine. How's your civil service career going?"

The monarch's voice came from behind the Praetorian Guards. Sure enough, when Constantine turned back, he saw the monarch's sly smile. He stood up with relief. He was not as happy as he was at any time today. After he stood up, he felt more relaxed than sitting in the office chair. "Very bad, my lord." He sighed. "You must not have added the talent for business when you created me. Otherwise, how could I feel those numbers biting my skin?"

"I guarantee you have this talent, Constantine. I guarantee you, what I was holding in my hand at that time was definitely not a pepper shaker."
