Chapter 113 Arrangement
"Styx potion?"

Xia Lin looked at the potion as dark and deep as a starry sky, and thought of the legend of the Styx in the bard's population, and felt more and more wonderful.

In the myths and legends widely circulated in the Sassen Empire, the world was created by a god named Anya using inextinguishable fire, endless soil, endless wind, and boundless water.

The original world was barren, so Anya created a big snake and two ancestor dragons to help him change the world.

The big snake is named Anteya, which means the half body of Anya. The first ancestor dragon is named Yatuo, which means the lord of the earth, and the second ancestor dragon is named Saito, which means the lord of the ocean.

These three beings created by Anya have powerful power and can create all kinds of creatures to enrich the world.

However, their power is too strong. In order to make up for the corners of the world that they can't take care of, Anya created the first goblin Servi and the goblin family to help them improve the vitality of this world together.

Later, the world encountered a disaster, the sky was shattered, and the big snake Antea fell.

Anya sewed up the sky with his skin and tendons, and the silver scales became stars in the sky, namely the constellation Serpent.

The snake bones turned into the keel mountains of the winding continent. The snake blood spilled on the ground and became a snake man. The first snake man was named Herox by Anya, which means meritorious person.

And these snake people later became the messengers of death in the spirit world. They wore black robes, held scales, weights and a black book of the dead, and were responsible for salvaging souls on the Styx River. What kind of creatures should they reincarnate in the next life.

In this mythical story, the role of the River Styx is very clear, that is to absorb souls from the mortal world and flow into the spirit world, and hand them over to the messengers of death to judge and deal with them, and then these weighed souls will flow into the mortal world along the River Styx again. Reincarnated as a new life.

Such a mythical story with a complete reincarnation system always makes Xia Lin feel quite subtle, probably because in a world with extraordinary power, mythology and history are always difficult to distinguish.

The Styx potion prepared by Sophia made Xia Lin more interested in mythology. The spirits of the four elements can be confirmed to exist. Then, do mythical things like the Styx in the spirit world also exist in this world? What about the world?

Temporarily record this research direction. After completing the selection of Sophia's apprentices and filling in the two research directions she was in charge of, Xia Lin gave her a subject, which is to study the kind of logic rune in the core of the soul that he temporarily named. real effect.

In addition to the new topics in alchemy and golems, there is also a new topic in the field of magic research with greatly increased manpower, that is, to study the magic models inside the magical organs of monsters, and look at the mental power simulation method he proposed to study monsters Can the spell model of the internal magic organ be successful.

It's just that the focus of the magic research direction is still on the research of the spin spell spell model. For the time being, Xia Lin only sent eight researchers to be responsible for the daily feeding, detention, cleaning, and research of the four monsters.

The four living monsters that Xia Lin acquired through the Adventurer's Guild are all low-level monsters. Their strength is similar to or slightly higher than that of a first-ring wizard or a great knight. The types are forest monitor lizard, swamp magic crab, human-faced spider and thick monster. A boar.

Among them, the forest monitor lizard can spray magic poison, which can easily melt armor. Ordinary people will die directly if they get a little bit contaminated or even smell it. However, when the runes are isolated from the magic power, its poison is greatly powerful reduce.

The Swamp Demon Crab is less dangerous. As long as it is not caught by the pair of large pincers that are more than half a meter long, it is basically not dangerous. Its magic ability is to use mud to form a thick carapace on the surface of its body to resist external harm.

Among these four monsters, the most dangerous ones are the human-faced spider and the thick-armored wild boar.

The magic ability of the human-faced spiders the size of a washbasin is to charm humans, which is an extremely terrifying illusion spell. Through the weird face patterns on their backs, they can easily charm humans and become their food.

This kind of spell is easy to be recruited even by the magic resistance of a first-level mage. The best way to deal with it is to increase the resistance of the first-level spells of the prophecy system, but the researchers in the research institute are all above zero and one-level. With the strength, no one has mastered this spell.

For this reason, Xia Lin specially asked Sophia to spend six gold lunettes and 34 silver maars to make two one-ring prophecy-type rune disks for improving resistance.

A magic crystal can be used about 3 times, and each time lasts [-] minutes. It takes [-] hours to recharge the rune node, which is enough for responsible researchers to complete the daily feeding process.

The thick-armored wild boar's spell ability is to generate rock armor similar to the mud armor of the swamp magic crab, which does not have much destructive power.

It's just that the thick armored wild boar itself is close to two meters in height, and there are two [-] to [-] cm long fangs growing on its mouth.

Its huge size brings it strong strength and resistance. Even if it is chained in a living monster storage room full of steel plates, it will feel a little restless after using a potion that can paralyze the monster. Xia Lin told the researcher Be careful when you are on duty with this monster.

After arranging the affairs of the research institute, Xia Lin was going to go to Princess Dorothea again to discuss some matters.

In addition to the issue of researchers in the research institute and the progress of the new army, he still has two things to explain to Her Royal Highness. One is the source of researchers after the establishment of the Alliance R&D Center.

When the business alliance was established, the R&D center was given the right to freely select craftsmen from member chambers of commerce as R&D personnel. Artisans make statistics.

In addition, the second thing Xia Lin wanted to discuss with His Royal Highness was the problem of weights and measures that had troubled him for a long time.

After the famous reforms of Sassen IX Lent the Great 600 years ago, the Sassen Empire officially possessed the foundation to become a huge empire.

In terms of administrative division, Emperor Lunt abolished the title of Marquis and Marquis who had too much power, and divided the empire into five realms, east, west, south, north, and middle, and then the realms were the territories of nobles from all over the place.

The biggest change in this territorial system is to position the laws of the empire above the legislation of the lords, and to add arbitrators from various places, and seize the arbitration power of some cases.

Although the most important military and economic power is still in the hands of the lords, they have indeed become part of the empire in name.

Politically, Emperor Lent changed the traditional court aristocratic deliberations, and chose to establish a series of agencies including the Administration, Finance, Commerce, Agriculture, and Military Affairs to deal with the administrative affairs of the empire, although the leaders of these agencies The latter are still nobles, but it also makes the administrative power more separated, which in turn strengthens the centralized rule of the royal family.

In terms of military affairs, Emperor Lunt abolished the traditional recruitment system of knights, peasants and soldiers, and adopted a parallel method of drafting service and mercenary systems, which greatly enhanced the military strength of the empire.

This series of reforms brought new life to the Sassen Empire, which was already in crisis, and put the head of Emperor Lent on gold coins. However, he did not solve a very important problem of the Sassen Empire, that is, weights and measures.
