Chapter 948 The Regent
Doing ridiculous things does help relax your body and mind. Although the consequence is that Salomon slept on the sofa for a week and washed his face fifty times a day before Benita was willing to kiss him, Salomon was still very happy. The witch finally forgave this idiot who would only smile after doing stupid things.
After that, he became the King of the Immortal City, who was efficient and highly praised pragmatism, which was the responsible image of Victor von Dum. For those low-level office workers in the internal affairs and intelligence departments, the King of the Immortal City is such a person. In the eyes of some people who participated in the Battle of Fenbowent, this image also had to be added with some fantasy elements, such as the description of a large golden man.
However, for senior executives like Stephanie and her little secretary Diana Lister, especially female employees, they often receive some exquisite gifts from Salomon. Stephanie believes that it should be a by-product of Salomon when practicing making magical items, that is, magic jewelry that has not yet been enchanted. Simply put, it is a waste product, probably because a certain magical line is arranged incorrectly so that it cannot be enchanted. After all, there is no software and printing tool specifically used to draw magic PCBs, and making these things is a kind of manual interest, just like cooking, Salomon is not too serious.
Anyway, he can afford those cheap materials, only precious metals such as gold and silver cost a little.
As the Sallomon Guard, Constantine knew exactly what happened that day, but he did not interfere. Because his job was to serve the monarch, he would agree to whatever Salomon did. This was the action policy written into DNA. However, he could not understand the emotions of the monarch, because genetic alchemy had completely erased most of the emotional needs of the monarch. Even though he still had an independent personality, only the desire to serve the monarch and complete the tasks issued for the monarch made him feel that the monarch felt a cartoon bird hovering happily on his head, and then made a nest on his helmet.
Constantine sighed long after hearing the monarch's metaphor, and he had no idea what that meant.
The reason for the use of genetic alchemy is a measure taken to completely avoid the corruption of the Imperial Guards from the external dimensions.
After the genetic alchemy is completed, no magic will work on the spirit of the Imperial Guard. For external dimension energy and energy creatures, the soul of the Imperial Guard is as indestructible as a piece of refined vibrator. The soul and spirit of the Imperial Guard are designed as solid and durable tools that will never be tired. Corrupting the Imperial Guard is as difficult as using water from a faucet to clean the atoms on this large piece of vibrator one by one. To achieve such an effect, you must first overcome the dual torture of the spirit and body brought by genetic alchemy, and there are no one who can withstand it.
Constantine personally supervised the preoperative surgery on the children on the list. Even the preparations before the genetic alchemy began, two boys failed to survive. The desperate virus can keep the gene in a state of ready to undergo adjustment at any time, but the process is quite painful. Many adults die in unbearable pain, let alone the two children.
Although Constantine couldn't remember what he was like before he received genetic modification, Constantine believed that he should be the first experimental subject to survive, because the monarch said that his ability to complete the transformation was "a destined thing". He had no idea why the monarch was so sure that he could survive. When he asked, Salomon chose to keep silent.
This is rare because Salomon rarely hides secrets from Constantine. However, Constantine is not too persistent, and exploring these secrets is not his mission.
His mission today is to go to Los Angeles to meet Wanda Maximov and ask about the progress of the Ghost Rider's mission. The Scarlet Witch has delayed this mission for too long, and even his monarch cannot continue to let Wanda delay it. The Immortal City is not a spontaneous organization like the Avengers, and all tasks cannot be changed according to personal ideas. Even Wanda Maximov is an apprentice of the monarch, and it cannot violate the regulations. If Wanda fails to complete the mission or wants to change the mission target for some reason, Constantine will continue the mission because he is the monarch's unshakable will.
However, he still carried some non-lethal weapons on his assault transport boat and anti-gravity jet flying motorcycle.
For example, the electric shock net gun can release high-voltage current that can corona an adult elephant in an instant; and the gravity weapon developed through gravitational technology against the dark elves can push the target away and keep it at a certain distance from the user. These things are experimental models, because in most cases, the Immortal City only needs lethal weapons, and non-lethal weapons are as rare as some endangered animals.
However, not everyone is as calm as Constantine. When Stephanie knew that the power structure of Immortal City had changed, she almost fainted because of her emotions. She didn't know why Salomon wanted Victor von Doom to be the Regent. When he could not exercise the power of Immortal City, he let that - in her words, "a guy who came out of nowhere" - take charge of the entire system. She originally thought that the candidate would be herself, because the Malik family played a great help in the development of Immortal City, and she was also Salomon's most trusted assistant. This kind of thing is not only a challenge to her power, but also a shaking of the Malik family's status.
When she walked straight to Salomon's desk and was about to give an explanation, Salomon stopped the work and invited her to sit on the sofa. He also poured her a glass of red wine and signaled her to take a sip, then sat on the sofa opposite her, with gentle movements, "You have not yet escaped the influence of the Malik family. To be precise, it was the influence of your father, Gideon Malik."

"So are you determined to sacrifice the Malik family for the Immortal City?" Salomon grabbed Stephanie's hand, raised his eyebrows and asked softly.
Stephanie seemed to be choking in the air.
Instead of continuing to ask, Salomon changed his seat and sat next to her. "I know it's difficult, so you will hesitate, I understand you. I understand that this request is quite mean, but you have to understand that there is no eternal alliance in this world. The Malik family is becoming stronger and stronger now. If one day the Malik family cannot reach an agreement on the opposite path to the Immortal City due to interests, you must make a decision to avoid irreparable losses. If necessary, you must issue an order to kill your loved ones, because you are the head of the interior department rather than a feudal vassal. Although this may not necessarily happen, no one can say what will happen in the future. I know you, Stephanie, you love your family very much, but the job of the Regent must require the reign of the cold blood and ruthlessness. If you want this job, it means that your spirit will be extremely terrible torture. I don't want you to be tortured, Stephanie."
"So is Victor von Doom cold-blooded enough?"
"He is a guy who uses all means to achieve his goal. In order to find a way to save his mother, he even sentenced Kama Taj, enduring the pursuit again and again until the Supreme Master takes action. He survived, and that's the problem. The Venerable valued some of his traits, so he didn't kill him." He said, "I need Victor von Dum, okay?"
"Okay." Salomon hugged Stephanie's shoulder. Under such a gentle offensive, Stephanie could not care about who the Regent position gave. After all, everything in the Malik family is given by Salomon now, and she could not make any decisions that violate Salomon. "But--" she dragged the long voice until Salomon looked into her eyes, "--As long as I live, the Malik family will not betray the Immortal City, I promise you."
