69. Ashgam case

Gianna is a talent, capable of martial arts and literature. Like Ezreal's retainers, most of them can only be martial and not literate. Only Ashgam is a civil servant, but he is still greedy for money.

"I really wish there were a few more of my subordinates who could hold a pen!"

The barrel of a gun comes out of power, but sometimes there are too many generals and it is also a kind of distress. Ezreal is deeply aware of the pain of General Durkkao's long-term appointment of Lux as his secretary knowing that she was a spy. There's no one available... Perhaps General Durkkao had long seen that Ashgam was an incompetent money-grubber, but the unwitting Ezreal had entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

Lux, an excellent secretary, has been asked by Kyle to help with the development of the church. As for the other women in the Guards, Zyra is a managerial talent.

Zyra inherited the memories of the human female mage, who took the place of the masters, namely Annie's parents, Hasta and Amorim, who managed the Black Rose for a long time during their detoxification. After being suppressed by Noxus, Black Rose migrated to the Faerie Secret Realm in the Voodoo Lands, cooperated with Bandel City, stabbed LeBlanc in the back and seized the power of Black Rose, established an underground intelligence network covering Noxus, and so on.

So, don't look at Zyra didn't go to elementary school, but the female mage she took away is very manageable. Like Cana didn't go to elementary school, she really has no management ability, and Cana is still learning to write... Zyra's management ability after taking away is verified. While the Scarlet Elite was stationed on the border of Zu'an, Zyra managed the Thorn Fortress in an orderly manner, and the allocation of space was appropriate.

It is easy to breed greed for ink if the two powers of finance and warehouse are put in the hands of one person, and they must be separated.

Ezreal intends to replace one of Ashgam's responsibilities with Zyra, the management of the warehouse. Zyra is now busy with agriculture, so it is logical to take over this piece, and when the next year's farming harvest is abundant, a large number of materials will pour into the warehouse.

As for the finances, Ezreal intended to put Camille in charge. Camille was once in charge of a large consortium and power family, the Philos family. With Camille's ability, the alliance now has a small territory, which is completely more than enough.

Ezreal thought of a replacement and immediately called a meeting of his retainers. Before the meeting, Ezreal made a point of informing Katerina and asking what to do with Ashgam.

"How to deal with it?! Dare to bend the law for bribes, of course, arrest and trial!"

Caterina said excitedly, she has always regarded honor as more important than life, and it is a shame for a blood-colored veteran retainer to do such a thing!

Looking at Caterina trembling with anger, Ezreal was amused. I thought that if I hadn't discovered it early, the alliance's power would have expanded in the future, and Ashgam would have become a huge greed that shocked Valoran.

"Calm down," Ezreal said grimly, "I can understand your feelings. But now I can't punish him severely, and I intend to keep a low profile and remove him from all his duties. ”

Caterina had an inexplicable expression: "Why?!"

"First of all, Ashgam is a senator, and we have just gained a foothold in Freljord, and it is easy to move a senator to shake the morale of the army, and secondly, we have just occupied Avarosa, and it has only been a month since the decree was issued, and in such a short period of time, someone among us has made a big mistake, what will the original inhabitants think?"

Caterina was deflated, understood the general situation, and said angrily: "It means that the form is not allowed, Ashgam is really lucky!"

Ezreal nodded, "I convened the meeting to keep it secret. Ashgam's problem is characterized as old age and poor brain, omission and mistakes in work. In view of this, let Zyra and Camille take over the warehouse and finances respectively. ”

Seeing that Caterina had no objection to this, Ezreal said, "Commander of the mage army, do you have any good candidates?"

"Huh?" Caterina reacted and asked, "You want to remove Ashgam from the mage forces?"

Ezreal nodded again: "One person's greed is not a matter of one day or two, and it is harmful to let Ashgam control the mage army again." ”

Caterina looked down in thought, "Gulagas, Jax, or Urgat?" she looked up at Ezreal.

Ezreal shook his head and said, "You're not thinking the right way. Mage is a profession with pride, and pride is based on the accumulation of knowledge. If you don't have a certain amount of knowledge, you can't overwhelm the other party in magical knowledge, and the other party won't obey you. Ashgam is a greedy man, why did your father, General Dukkao, use him when he knew he was greedy? ”

Caterina keenly grasped what was in his words, "Before? What about now?"

Ezreal spat out a name, "Gianna." ”

Gianna is a hero who has landed in a forced landing, and she is still unconvinced, and she will not care about her work. However, arrogance can also be exploited. The mages are a group of scholars with their nostrils turned upwards. The appointment of a new commander will bring all sorts of magical academic difficulties. With Gianna's pride, it was impossible for her to give up the dignity of a mage. And answering these magic questions is not difficult with Gianna's knowledge.

The meeting went smoothly as planned, with Ashgam relieved of his duties and new appointments issued.

Actually, Ezreal didn't like the parliamentary format that everyone discussed.

Freedom, democracy, elections, is it really good? Not necessarily. The president of the country of the earth will be impeached, and some people say that this is true democracy, but what is the use? The situation is turbulent, the direction of decision-making is lost and confused. It's better for a leader with high attributes to make a decision.

Freedom, democracy, and elections are derivatives of equality. But can the world be absolutely equal? Can we imagine that all people are equal, everyone goes out into the streets with guns, smashing, robbing, and killing, how can the police manage so many people?

Maybe it's alarmist, that's on the small side. For example, running a red light. When the car on the opposite side waited for a long time, I wanted to step on the accelerator, but I was confronted with a red light, and the owner went to step on the brakes again... It is conceivable that the person who ran the red light was in a sense of superiority in his heart, and he was a winner in life today, at this momentβ€”dozens of seconds faster than others.

But is the gain of tens of seconds useful? No. But the heart of man is to enjoy this superiority, even at the great risk of a traffic accident. Others are following the rules, but I am not following them, and others are waiting to make way for me. This was the beginning of privilege. A low-level common man will also chase privileges.

It follows that absolute equality means chaos.

Only when the strongest make the rules and everyone else obeys the rules, can the world be ordered. Under the strongest, the second strongest, the second strongest, the second strongest, the weakest, etc., no one is allowed to break the rules. That is, under the strongest, all people are equal. Call it relative equality and relative reasonableness. This originates from the ancient Chinese Mohist "Shang Tong".

With Ezreal's Ashgam operation, the Alliance's powers will be more fragmented and responsibilities clearer in the future. Each department operates in a single line, and is only responsible for the department's own superiors and subordinates, and other departments have no way to intervene.

In the name of the people, Qi Tongwei wants to be promoted, and he has to be voted on by a circle of people. Unexpectedly, he was vetoed by Hou Liangping. In other words, in a parliamentary system, the promotion of a person in one police department is influenced by the others.

Is this good?

Ezreal sees this as a catalyst.

Catalysts, i.e. good when it's good, bad when it's bad. The most effective time was during the revolutionary period. At that time, I was poor and white, and there was nothing to be greedy for. Everyone shares their combat experience in the council, corrects each other's mistakes, and quickly upgrades and adds attributes. This is not necessarily the case in peacebuilding periods. Often a catch is a group... The group is greedy for money, the group covers up with each other, and the group is corrupt and degenerate. You are full of middle two breath, you are not the same as the dirty, you are not the root of the grassroots, it is strange that you are not socially and are not demoted to the countryside!

The catalyst can squeeze out the team's combat power to the greatest extent, and can also make a team completely degenerate and lose all combat power as quickly as possible.

Before, before the capture of Freljord, Ezreal still held a meeting to discuss it by default, for fear that the combat power would not be enough. Now on his feet, Ezreal intends to take power back. Ezreal considers himself a leader with high enough attributes.

Of course, dictatorship has its drawbacks. The first is that the dictator's mistakes in decision-making will maximize the mistakes and make them difficult to correct, and the second is that dictatorships are prone to attract hatred.

For the first point, it is not a problem at all to put it on Ezreal. Because he was an assassin. For the Assassins, arrogance was something they would never want to enjoy. What is arrogance? It is the primacy of subjectivity over objective facts, a lack of insight, and the result is a big defeat. In the Assassin's opinion, if the battle plan is 100%, the best battle result is 90+%, and infinitely close to 100% is difficult to achieve. Because the target will rebel. Except for one case - sneak attack! In the case of a sneak attack, the opponent has no resistance, and 100% of the plan is achieved, without the slightest deviation.

Like during World War II, Germany's initial blitzkrieg was 100% achieved. So Adolf became arrogant, thinking that he was a messenger of God, and he succeeded in whatever he wanted. But I didn't see that this was a miracle effect of a sneak attack.

For the second point, dictators are prone to hatred. The response is to step back into the background.

No one is perfect, and no one can cope with all accusations. If I want to scold you, I can always find a point to complain. The best thing to do is to work behind the scenes and keep the assassins invisible. Firmly grasp the military power, the monetary power, the intelligence services, and then launch a hate-sucking parliament. The parliament is elected every few years and only decides on economic and livelihood issues. Something went wrong, and the parliament took the blame.

Ezreal's initial vision goes like this. Anyway, he is the founding leader, how can it not be his final word?

After dealing with Ashgam's ink case, Ezreal announced the establishment of the Warrior of Light and the Templar of Darkness.

Ezreal: "Avarosa is a tribe that reveres bows and arrows, and archers are traditional soldiers. But after my investigation, not everyone is gifted with bows and arrows. Some are strong and have a high affinity for the light element, while others are agile and not good at bows and arrows but are good at throwing knives and daggers. So, I'm going to recruit new soldiers, two classes: Warriors who wield the Light, and Assassins who wield Shadows. ”

The Shadow Assassin Caterina was immediately interested, stood up and said, "Leave it to me in the Dark Warrior Sanctuary, and I will definitely train a group of excellent warriors." ”

Kyle's eyes flashed, and she knew that it was not as simple as recruiting new soldiers, and it would definitely involve the distribution of power in the future!

Kyle feigned composure and said, "Warriors who use the Light, leave it to me, I'm skilled in the use of the Light. ”

Ezreal gave her a deep look. Since Ezreal was standing at this time, looking down at her as she was sitting, her body line was unobstructed. Kyle's blue eyes are pure and soft, like looking directly into the soft heart of a person, and the faint golden light flows on the graceful and slender body, filling the space of people's beautiful imagination, without losing the solemnity and sacredness.

Ezreal looked at the angel with a blasphemous gaze, and when his gaze turned to the angel's buttocks, an unforgettable lesson of shame came to mind, causing the angel to sit on the chair and suddenly shake like an electric shock!

Kyle thought to himself, "How could it be... Just one look at his eyes, the nerve reflexes there, like uncontrollable. ”

Ezreal retracted his gaze and pretended to be concerned, "Are you okay, are you too tired from work lately?"

The people around him cast concerned glances, only among Nightingale and the others in the last seat, Estes looked playful and interested.

Estes said in his heart: "Amazing training, on the premise of not losing the original temperament, there is such a reaction in one look, and it is worthy of the man I value." ”

Ezreal: "I've heard from Lux that the church has a lot of trouble, and it needs to train magicians who use the Holy Light and form a team of priests. You still don't have to work too hard. I have another candidate for the training instructor of the Bright Warrior Sanctuary. You're right, Lux?"

Ezreal's eyes looked over, Lux was stunned, many years of secretarial career, with her cleverness, she had already seen Ezreal's intentions, and smiled sweetly: "What the master said is, thank you for your concern." ”

When Ezreal's commanding eyes turned again, Kyle blurted out almost instantly, "Well, I'll be relieved if there's a suitable candidate." ”

After settling Kyle's side, Ezreal said to Caterina again, "Your Ominous Blade's magic skills are too high-end. Freedom to travel through time and space is not something that everyone can do. The training of the Dark Warrior Sanctuary focuses on reconnaissance to obtain information, and magic martial arts focus more on the ability to become invisible. ”

Caterina didn't have any scheming, she was not good at stealth magic, and said cheerfully: "Invisible magic, then I'll leave it to you." ”

Ezreal laughed, "No. I have also chosen the training instructor of the Dark Warrior Sanctuary. With a clap of their hands, two female warriors entered, one in a blood-colored shirt, heavily armoured, holding a war hammer, with dignified brown hair in a bun, and the other in a blood-veiled suit with jet-black leather armor and short black curls that covered her ears.

"Brigitte Adibis, Vanessa Van Cleef, how could it be? Did you summon them with Immortal Magic?! Why do you have so much magic, how can you dominate so many Immortal Spirits?"

Sitting next to Estes, Gianna exclaimed.

Nightingale was much calmer.

In the last meeting, Red Hitomi, Estes, and Gianna were all defeated, and they re-condensed a high concentration of magic power, and with Nightingale's power, it would take two months to say that one Heroic Spirit would take at least, and three Heroic Spirits would take at least half a year. And Ezreal waited for a long time, and asked for people directly from Nightingale's soul altar. Ezreal summoned from the altar of the inner world, one in nine days, and three in 27 days.

Nightingale sighed in her heart: "The little yellow hair is much more powerful than it seems. He glanced at Estes, and saw that the other party's eyes were all on Ezreal. "And now that I'm on the same level as Estes, this guy really doesn't listen to me anymore. Then look at the red pupil, the foodie who was discussing lunch barbecue and pastries with Morgana for a while.

Red Hitomi is a foodie and a big stomach. She eats ridiculously large amounts and is completely out of proportion to her size. So Nightingale avoided the important and trivialized, claiming that there was no need to waste food if there was a magic supply!
