Chapter 467: Neighborhood Committee

The girl who appeared in front of me and Tears was Artemis.

I remember when I first met her, at that time, the other party was still the leader of the supernatural organization that tried to subvert human society, the boss behind Olympus, wearing a wide black robe that made people look awkward, and the whole person was full of a sense of conspiracy, and the second time they met, she was the leader of a human survival organization in the apocalyptic world, wearing a faded overalls that were so wide that they didn't fit and were stained with paint, with a hint of stubbornness on her face, if you didn't see the other party's beautiful face and blond hair, It's hard to even associate it with a girl, but now, Artemis has changed her identity and image again, and now she is one of the first inhabitants of the Avalon of the New Century, dressed in a light green corset like a hunting suit, and her bright golden ponytail is no longer stained with paint, but has been washed clean, shining in the forest sun, and until she falls off the unicorn's back, she is as energetic as an elven girl who has come to hunt and play in the woods.

The three outfits may reflect the three stages of Artemis' mentality.

Uh, by the way, speaking of elven girls - at this time, I finally remembered why Artemis was so familiar, it turned out to be the tight-fitting adventure outfit that I saw in Silvermoon City, those blood elf rangers and hunters often wear, of course, in order to conform to human clothing and aesthetics, it has been improved a lot, becoming closer to the current human society's clothing, but the simplicity reveals the elegant and luxurious design concept, it must come from the elves.

Needless to say, the only elf that Artemis and others can access is Lilina unmistakable, and now the connection between the shadow city and this mount space has not been officially opened, and the blood elves and the elves of other worlds have not yet obtained the pass to enter Avalon, and Artemis's clothes can only be obtained from Lilina.

"This outfit...... Was it Lilina's idea? ”

I raised my eyebrows and said in a strange tone, Artemis is not unsightly now, and the craftsmanship of the elves is impossible to be ugly, but ......

In any case, Artemis should be considered a human being in a modern society, and it must be quite ...... for you to let the uncle who sells donkey meat in the back street come out and take a spin with a tomahawk in full armor and a tomahawk Well, that's a bit of a strange metaphor, I mean, a modern middle school girl who uses an elf hunting costume as an everyday attire always looks a little weird.

Hawkers, although it's really eye-catching.

"Because there is nothing else to wear," Artemis smiled brightly, "the old world is all finished, and we only have the old clothes from the apocalypse, so I asked Lilina, who often comes over, to bring a few new ones, but I didn't expect it to be such a beautiful style, and I have never seen your soldiers wear anything like that—ah, is it some kind of strange outfit in the Empire?" That goddess always seems to like to play pranks."

Artemis said as he suddenly thought of something very serious, and then immediately exclaimed in a nervous whisper.

Ah, Lord Lilina, High Priestess of the Goddess of Life, it seems that the face of the God of your house has been disgraced by you—look what impression you have made on our citizens

Seeing Artemis's tangled expression, I hurriedly waved my hand and explained, "That's not it, Lilina is occasionally disciplined...... You're actually wearing an elven costume, an ancient race in another universe protected by the Empire, and strictly speaking, Lilina should be half an elf, so I've got this costume for you......"

"Elves?" This time, Artemis exclaimed with Tears, "Is there really that legendary race?" ”

I snapped a knife on the tearful head: "Fooling around in the Shadow City every day, didn't you run into those long ears?" ”

"I'm just setting up the atmosphere, ahaha......" Tears immediately rubbed his head and laughed dryly.

Tears was originally a very lively and enthusiastic girl, and Artemis hoped to meet a few more friends at the beginning of a new life, so it didn't take a while, the two of them chatted enthusiastically, as if they had known each other for many years, and from the mouth of Tears, Artemis learned about the mysterious Xiling Empire from another angle, after all, Tears also belonged to the "vulnerable group" that we helped before, and she looked at things from the same perspective as me. The experience of living among the apostles of Hilin from her point of view was obviously much more reliable for Artemis than the "Guide to Civic Life" and the "Imperial Civil Code" compiled by Sandora.

Listening to Artemis's enthusiastic introduction to Artemis's habits of the Apostles of Hiling, the differences between living in the Imperial Society and in human society, and the experience of becoming good friends with those seemingly fierce Imperial soldiers, I was vaguely aware of one thing: as more and more people of all worlds and races lived in this special space, it seemed that how to coordinate their relationship should be on the agenda.

Of course, I'm not saying that there will be any friction between the heroes of the various races, the shadow city has been regarded as a sublime place close to the divine realm between the worldly realms that we "shelter", and it is basically impossible for such people to gather together and break out into conflict if they are only the delivery workers who come to offer us the rare and mysterious treasures they have found.

But there is no conflict does not mean that everything is peaceful, there are huge cultural differences between many races, and even cultural contradictions, the two nations on the earth can still oppose each other for various reasons, not to mention the races from the two worlds, and even the worlds are very different from each other, and now, this contradiction has no consequences because of the small base and the control of their respective leaders, but as time goes by, when the shadow city and as a higher level of "holy land" With the Avalon filled with heroes from all worlds, can you expect them to completely abandon this contradiction by their own self-awareness?

Even if these races can coexist peacefully under the common supreme idea, the various differences in philosophy will probably greatly weaken the strength of the United Legion, and our greatest advantage over the power of the Fallen Apostles and the Abyss is the huge alliance formed by these many worlds, and any factors that may weaken the alliance must be eliminated.

In the ancient era, the most glorious period of the empire, the Xiling apostles also formed a similar alliance of the world, although this large scale and loyalty is more reliable, although it can not be compared with the emperor in terms of combat effectiveness, but it is also one of the most powerful weapons against the abyss, the original Xiling ruler's method of coordinating the various worlds I heard Sandora mention, it is quite simple: with the leader of the empire as the core, form the only group of consuls with the right to speak, this group only issues orders for the war events of the crusade against the abyss, It only deals with military motions between the various races, and at the same time, the vassal races of the empire are not allowed to communicate in any field unrelated to joint operations, that is to say, no matter what world you come from, no matter what is popular in your place, after coming to the coalition headquarters, the only thing that can be discussed between you and me is "combat", and in addition to this topic, even if you say "the potatoes in the XX restaurant are delicious", it is a violation of the ban.

Of course, the above example may be an exaggeration, but basically, the World Realm Alliance formed by the Apostle of Xiling was like that.

This is not a very wise way of governing, of course, but you can't expect a group of Hiling Apostles to understand what liberalism is and what humanistic care is by following the standards of mechanistic thinking and optimal action—they are ruling over the vassal races in the same way that they govern the citizens of the Empire.

The rule of power has done a good job of avoiding conflicts between the various races, but to be honest, the advantages of the alliance formed with such an iron fist will inevitably be weakened a lot by its cross-world alliance and overall offensive and defensive strength, and the vassal races will look more like expendable cannon fodder than as real combat power, and it is clear that the form of the alliance is not suitable for the races that are currently gathered under our control.

What I want is to be truly united, like a poured steel line, where all members of the Expeditionary Force must be like brothers, able to give everything for the entire Legion unconditionally, rather than acting blindly under repressive rule and iron-fisted politics, and scattering into a pile of cannon fodder as soon as the Empire's dominance is loosened.

Perhaps we could consider creating an atmosphere that would only be observed by all races in the shadow space, or some other way to allow them to communicate normally while avoiding the gaps caused by cultural conflicts, which is a very troublesome task, and requires a deep understanding of the habits of each race, as well as the ability to think about how to live under the rule of the Clans from the perspective of "citizens", which we are currently leaving to the Imperial Soldiers—that is, some incomparably wrenching" Imperial Chengguan Brigade", just from the unfortunate name and the composition of its staff, you can see how much they have tossed this work to the extent that it hurts.

Now it seems that perhaps a better option would be for these vassal races to form similar governing organizations on their own, and all we have to do is appoint and dismiss those qualified candidates from the various worlds.

It should be noted that this management organization only needs to manage the internal affairs of the vassal races, and its authority is limited to cultural exchanges and conflict resolution, and it cannot have any impact on the shadow base and the imperial affairs system, and Sandora does not have to worry about weakening our dominance over those vassal races, and according to my guess, this may also greatly improve the ability of the coalition forces of the various races to cooperate with each other.

I thought of it, and while I was still chatting with Artemis in tears, I submitted my draft idea to the public channel, and asked a group of imperial leaders who were busy eating, shopping, and playing games to discuss it.

It is a small disagreement on the final naming of the new department, this department is not big, it is not small, it does not participate in any military and administrative deployment, but it is an important link to maintain the unity of the expeditionary force of all realms, and its naming can not be hasty, and the shallow first time put forward no less than seven or eight names, but every time we haven't opened her mouth, she denied herself, my sister thinks it's better to call the race management committee, but unfortunately I think this kind of name is a bit awkward, Sandora unconditionally supports my suggestion, However, Lilina said that if there was no word "goddess" in the new department, she would cry to me, and Bubbles insisted that the new department should be called the "Guild Management Office", and it was really not possible to make the "Adventurer's House", and Pandora and Viska jointly proposed a speechless name like "Imperial Race Control Section......

None of them are reliable anyway.

Eventually, after a lot of heated discussions, until a bunch of troublemakers had enough, the name of the new department was settled, and you would never have thought of this glorious name:

The full name is: Goddess Protection's subordinate race, adventurer's guild group, militarized racial control, citizen management, residential affairs, and the World Realm Joint Project Coordinating Committee.

Abbreviated as neighborhood committees.

We discussed for nearly half an hour before such a shitty father came out, bastard

About the Neighborhood Committee...... This name is really too tricky, about the main members of the neighborhood committee, it is natural to choose from among those Azeroth heroes who are the first to enter the shadow city to reside, it is impossible for a leader like Sylvanas to put down the affairs of his own country to serve as the head of the neighborhood committee**, but they must have a lot of talents suitable for similar work, and it should be enough to maintain the balance of the various races in the shadow city.

But on Avalon's side, it seems that it should be a little special.

This space carefully crafted by God will be used as a place higher than the shadow city, perhaps as a holy place or something, only the leaders of various ethnic groups can come here to discuss affairs, and there is no need to set up any departments such as neighborhood committees, my plan is to let Artemis be responsible for the management and arrangement of visitors to this special space, first, this is the world where she lives, let her be an account manager (...... Rightly speaking, I have complete trust in Artemis's abilities, even her companions, who look like students on the surface, but in fact each of them is older than me, and given their experience, they may even be more mature in their hearts, and they are a hundred times better than the strained Imperial soldiers in charge of arranging for the reception of visitors of all races.

"Sister Artemis is really powerful," tears suddenly jumped in front of me, interrupting my thoughts, "The leader of the Human Doomsday Organization~~~ How powerful"

"What," Artemis, who has always been very mature and calm, was also a little embarrassed under the somewhat exaggerated sigh of tears, "It's just that in order to survive, in order to confront that absurd world, the diehards who have to gather together, the real power should be your emperor's brother, right?" He's saved a world. ”

"That's" Tears immediately raised her little face proudly, as if it was herself who accepted the praise, "Brother is the best, Brother is definitely a good person"

Me: "......"

Girl, you just issued a card.

"Tears you are really not simple, but at the age of fourteen, you have become such a powerful officer," Artemis looked at Tears with a smile on his proud face, "At such a young age, you must have excellent military exploits to obtain such a military rank, right?" ”

Tear's proud expression stiffened suddenly, and then scratched his hair embarrassedly: "This...... Aha...... How can I say it......"

Artemis, you will soon realize what kind of sassy beings you see as the mysterious and powerful Apostles of Hyling.

After chatting with Artemis by the lake for a while, our topic gradually shifted to the future planning of this new world, and I mentioned my idea to Artemis a little, mainly to make this place a holy place for all worlds, and Artemis is responsible for arranging the reception of the heroes of all races here, and the girl seemed a little nervous about this sudden suggestion.

"I ...... Can I really take on such an important role? ”

"What's not to be afraid of?" I smiled, "If you can lead an organization like Olympus, and you can lead a human survival organization, why can't you be a customer service manager now?" ”

"But...... That's not your average 'guest'," Artemis said with a bitter face, "You have said it all, human emperors, war heroes, great sages, race leaders, these great people......"

"No matter how big the person is, he is also a soldier here, and I am their commander, the person I appoint, they must support unconditionally, it's as simple as that."

There is another sentence I didn't say: Even if the residents are NB, there are few who are not afraid of the neighborhood committee**

Seeing that I was resolute, Artemis also knew that I was not joking, but still said uneasily: "But...... Let us 'outsiders' take on such an important job, will Her Majesty the Queen be dissatisfied? She's very stern ......"

"Of course not," I finally understood Artemis' concerns, "and you don't participate in military and political affairs, just as a receptionist on the Avalon side, as long as it doesn't affect the imperial system, Sandora will never care." ”

With such an assurance, Artemis finally put her mind at ease, obviously, what really made her feel Yali was not the "burden" I gave her, but Sandora's possible dissatisfaction, I really don't know what kind of psychological shadow her own rice bucket girl left in Artemis's head at the beginning, I think Artemis can even change her eyes when she mentions Sandora.

"Hmm...... Boring, boring, boring" Maybe it was because Artemis and I were busy talking about topics that were completely uninteresting to her, and the tears that had been hanging for a long time finally muttered dissatisfiedly, "Brother Chief, can you take me to see the interesting places here?"

The tears in the coquettish state are really devastating, and I immediately announced my surrender and suddenly thought of a good place: "You guys come with me, I really know that Avalon has just completed a project that you may be interested in." ”
