Chapter 507: The City Lord's Thoughts
When Old Jack finished his thoughts, and the others agreed one after another, Athena, who was next to Rocky, spoke.
"My lord, I don't think this is appropriate. ”
Although Athena has now become Rocky's staff member, theoretically speaking, she is already his subordinate, but she still behaves the same as before, just nodding at Rocky when she speaks, which Rocky doesn't care, but the others frown.
Rocky knew Athena's details, but everyone else present except Lilia didn't know anything about Athena, and everyone had heard Lilia say that Athena was very powerful, but that was all they knew about her, especially since she now obviously wanted to veto Old Jack's proposal, which made everyone even more dissatisfied.
Because everything Old Jack said was indeed what everyone thought, and everyone felt that there was no problem with this idea at all, why did Athena veto it?
Is it trying to be in the limelight?
Since he didn't know Athena yet, and he didn't know her skills, everyone couldn't help but have the impression that she wanted to be in the limelight at this moment.
Rocky, on the other hand, was eager to hear Athena's opinion, so he looked at her.
Seeing that Rocky looked at herself, Athena continued to speak: "My lord, I think that as long as we appoint an archon to Kartos City, our development center should still be placed on Thunder Eagle City. ”
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Rocky laughed: "Why?"
"Because it's completely unnecessary. ”
With a slight smile, Athena turned her head to look at Old Jack and the others, and said slowly: "Everyone, two years ago, the Myronde family deceived the city of Kartos from the adults, but after two years, the residents of this city willingly identified the identity of the family, why is this happening?"
"Is it because the patriarch of House Myrond himself is in charge?, but as far as I know, the previous patriarch of the family, Ataid, did not govern the city of Kartos, and neither did the current patriarch, Lysington. ”
"I think the real reason is trust. ”
"The inhabitants of Kartos City trust the Myronte family and think that the family is strong enough to allow them to live and work in peace and contentment in this sky, so they are willing to become a member of the family, which has nothing to do with who is sitting in the city lord's mansion. ”
“.........”
“.........”
“.........”
When Athena said this, Old Jack and the others fell silent with frowns, because they also had to admit that what they said made sense.
The people in the city don't trust Rocky, they don't think that Rocky can bring them a better life than the Myrondt family, so they are resistant to Rocky, but this resistance is suppressed due to Rocky's performance in the duel, and they dare not break out.
And judging by Athena's words, it seems that she wants to solve the problem at the root.
Sure enough, she then said: "So I don't think the adults need to be in charge themselves, we have to give priority to reassuring the people now, so that they don't panic, and as long as we do this, then in time, when the adults develop and grow further, people's worries will naturally be solved." ”
"This ......"
After hearing Athena's words, everyone frowned and looked at each other, although they didn't agree much, but they really couldn't jump out of anything too big, and when everyone looked at each other, Rocky smiled.
"Very well, just do as Athena says. ”
Obviously, Rocky agreed with Athena's approach more than Old Jack's proposal, because he was the only one who could hear what Athena was saying.
Old Jack's idea is very good, when people are panicking, it is indeed himself who is the lord of the city, and he personally promotes the development of the city, so that people can have a sense of trust in him, and after a long time, they will willingly fall under his rule.
But there is a small question here, that is, even if the current Rocky goes to the city of Kartos, what can he do?
Compared with Thunder Eagle City, Kartos City is more than twice as big, and with the resources that Rocky now has in his hands, he simply has no ability to develop such a large city! Now the relationship between Rocky and Kartos City is like a three-year-old child holding a big sword, although this big sword belongs to him, his power can't be wielded at all.
So to put it bluntly, Rocky's strength is not enough to control the city of Kartos, so even if he goes in person, it will not help.
Old Jack and the others obviously didn't think of this, but Athena thought of it, so she made it clear as soon as she came up that Rocky's current development center should still be Thunderhawk City, and as for Kartos City, it is mainly to pacify first, let the city settle down first, and honestly don't do anything in Rocky's hands, which is enough.
Athena's idea obviously satisfied Rocky, in fact, he didn't plan to go to the city of Kartos himself, Athena's opinion coincided with his idea, so naturally she did as she said.
In this way, the meeting ended quickly, and after setting the initial policy, Rocky still needed to think carefully about the specific matters, so he let the group disperse first.
However, when everyone left, Lilia did not leave with Rocky as usual, but left with Athena.
"Athena, you didn't let Rocky go to the city of Kartos because you saw that he wasn't interested there, right?"
Walking out of the City Lord's Mansion with Athena, Lilia asked bluntly.
"You see that?"
And hearing this, Athena looked at her, and there was more or less surprise in her eyes, she didn't expect Lilia to see this too.
This is Athena's underestimation of Lilia, if there are other things, then Lilia will definitely not be able to compare with her, but in Rocky's matter, Athena can see and Lilia can see everything.
Lilia had long found out that Rocky didn't seem to be too interested in the city of Kartos City, which could be seen from the fact that he had just returned to Back Mountain Village and immediately returned to Thunderhawk City, but Lilia didn't understand, why didn't Rocky dare to be interested in Kartos City because it was better than Thunderhawk City and had more development potential than Thunderhawk City?
That's why she came to ask Athena.
As for her question, Athena did not hide it, and said with a smile while walking with Lilia outside the City Lord's Mansion:
"Because Lodge doesn't believe in the city at all. ”
