Todd glanced at the top of Richel's head, remembering the 'Soul Restoration Worm' in the iron box, and was a little curious for a moment, what was this woman like before she occupied Mia's body?

The current Rachel is a rare beauty in terms of appearance and temperament. But what she looked like in the past, Todd really couldn't imagine.

Maybe she looks very ordinary, her voice is not as beautiful as it is now, and her figure may be very bloated......

Wait a minute!

Todd suddenly remembered a creepy thing, Reichel shouldn't have been a man before, right?!

She (she) only says that she and Mia are good friends, but never mentions her past gender.

Todd screamed in his heart, oh my God! If she (he) really is a man! I have done so many unsightly things with this person, and played so many embarrassing poses......

Seeing Todd's face cloudy, Rachel thought that the other party was shocked by Mia's matter, so he explained: "I didn't tell you about Mia in the past because I didn't know how to speak. ”

Todd froze and nodded calmly: "If it is anyone, it is difficult to say such a thing." ”

After an awkward silence, Rachel and Todd drank, not knowing what to say, just thinking about their own thoughts.

When Rachel finished drinking a can of beer, he suddenly asked Todd, "That world has advanced theories and advanced science, so can you tell me what the soul is?"

Todd was a little surprised by this question, thought for a while, and said helplessly: "To be honest, I don't know. ”

"Isn't there a definite answer to the soul in your omnipotent world?"

"Yes, even in my world, the soul is an unsolved puzzle, but if we look at the philosopher's explanation, the soul should be defined by two major connotations: logic and memory. ”

Rickel paused: "Philosophy, logic and memory?"

"This is the theory I heard from a philosophy professor: if human beings have a soul, then it should have two main connotations: logic and memory in a broad sense. Logic in a broad sense includes thinking orientation, value ethics, and decision-making methods, while memory in a broad sense includes life experience and truth cognition. ”

Rachel shook her head, "Sounds complicated, these are the professor's theories?"

Todd touched his chin, recalled his past elective career, and said uncertainly: "If I'm not mistaken, these theories came from a scholar named Hegel. ”

Rachel bit her lip and hesitated, then suddenly asked a strange question: "Suppose there is an evil person who, for some purpose, creates a copy of her." So, will the soul of this clone also be evil?"

Richel's words had already left Todd completely confused.

"Sorry, Rachel, there are so many specialized disciplines involved, including genetics, physiology...... Moreover, the soul itself is a thing that no one understands, and I can't give you an accurate answer. ”

A depressed Rachel threw the can in her hand onto the table and stood up, trying to leave the soul space.

Thinking of the 'Soul Restoration Worm' and the other party's identity, Todd spoke: "Richel, there are some things I want to ask you......"

"Todd, I'm sorry, I'm in a really bad mood right now, I'm afraid I can't answer your question......"

Looking at Richel's pale face, Todd swallowed the words that came to his lips again.

Todd nodded at Rachel and said, "Rest well, we'll talk about it next time we have a chance." ”

Richel's figure vanished into space.

After drinking his beer in the institute, Todd sighed as he looked at the empty room.

Back in the real world, Todd watched as Rachel pushed open the door and quietly left, calling Huggins, who was standing by the door.

"Your Majesty, your face is not good, what happened?" Huggins said with some concern, looking at Todd.

Todd motioned for the other party not to care, and asked, "How are the preparations for the Protestant ceremony now?"

"The general arrangement of the cathedral has been completed, the explanatory books of the doctrine have been printed, and the list of Protestants has been drawn up......

"Has the invitation to the ceremony been sent?"

Hearing Todd mention this, Huggins replied with some hesitation: "Seven hundred invitations to the ceremony were sent out a month ago......"

"How's the feedback?"

"There were one hundred and thirty letters of reply confirming participation, the vast majority of which were scholars, chambers of commerce and clergy......"

Todd frowned and asked, "What about the reply from the secular royal family?"

Huggins said as he glanced at Todd's expression carefully, "There are only two copies, one is Queen Mary from the Holy Acropolis and the other is Jennings, the regent from Lone Rock. ”

Hearing an unexpected name, Todd suddenly became interested: "Lone Rock City?"

Huggins nodded and said, "Jennings' reply is that due to the young age of the Queen of Lone Rock, he will attend the founding ceremony of Protestantism in his personal capacity. ”

"Young and self-religious?" Todd smiled helplessly, "This Jennings will shirk responsibility, not only does not want to offend the church, but also wants to slap us." ”

Huggins added at this time: "Your Majesty, I don't think you have to worry about the attitude of the secular kingdom at all now. We have just won the battle of the Holy Acropolis, and the results of the war have not yet spread, and when the secular kingdoms know everything, they will naturally know how to take sides. ”

When Todd heard this, he unconsciously nodded in agreement: "It makes sense, anyway, there are still two months before the establishment of Protestantism, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to wait." ”

In fact, news of the defeat of the Church coalition spread much faster than Todd had imagined.

A great battle in the diocese that has not taken place for hundreds of years has attracted the attention of countless people before it even begins.

The outcome of the war was beyond everyone's expectations, and no one could have imagined that the coalition forces would be defeated so badly and so quickly.

Of the 15,000-strong army, less than half of them actually returned to China safely, and less than 10 of them returned alive from the troops directly under the Church.

After the end of this war, the situation of forces in the diocese as a whole changed dramatically.

The power and influence of the Church plummeted, and the power of the secular kingdom gradually rose. The latter took advantage of the religious tax and scandals to allow and even incite the people in the country to set off a wave of anti-Church.

On the other hand, for the first time, the power advantage of the xenomorphs entered the military halls of the various kingdoms. Powerful classes such as the Death Knight, Sniper Inheritor, Elemental Inheritor, and Xenomorph Heavy Infantry have completely opened the eyes of those kings who were immersed in swords and shields in the past.

The major kingdoms began to pay more attention to the use of xenomorph powers, and the original hunting and slaughter of xenos were abolished one after another. The xenomorph with powerful abilities also ended his days of hiding in Tibet, and became the chief advisor and became the guest of the royal family.

But compared to these, there is one biggest new thing that has come into everyone's field of vision - twilight Protestantism.

With its military and economic might, Twilight City intends to establish a Protestant religion that aims to reform religion, suppress theocracy, and exempt from taxes, and has become the savior that almost everyone is eager to follow.

Farmers joined Protestantism to avoid tithes, merchants and nobles joined Protestantism to get rid of indulgences, and kings joined Protestantism without worrying about losing their power.

After the Protestant invitation was sent out in Twilight City, more than 4,000 receipts were received, which were originally only a few hundred letters.

Dignitaries from all walks of life demanded the establishment of Protestantism and repeatedly emphasized in their receipts that they were willing to convert to Protestantism.

The sheer number of guests, coupled with the growing noise, forced Twilight to reconsider the flow and scale of the ceremony.

The ceremony, which was originally only three days, was expanded to 10 days, and the auditorium, which was originally 1,000 people, was temporarily increased to 5,000.

In order to cope with this huge religious ceremony, the time originally scheduled for the beginning of February took more time to prepare, and it had to be postponed to the end of March.

As time goes by, the winter in Twilight City quietly passes in the heat of the busyness, representing the arrival of spring with the rebirth of all things.
