1196. First day in office
In the vast sea of ice, he shuttled through countless ice floes against the huge waves, and he was like a swimming fish, flexibly shuttling between the ice floees.
After squeezing out the last bit of mental power in the sea of ice, Surdak finally sank into the sea of ice again less than 100 meters away from the coastline.
The next moment, Surdak woke up from his dream, feeling as if the mental power in his body had been completely emptied.
The entire sea of spiritual consciousness was completely like a mirage in the desert, he could feel it but couldn't touch it, he removed the snow-white long legs that pressed on his body from the soft big bed, and sat up sweating profusely.
The maid was already waiting at the door of the bedroom, and when she saw Surdak get up from the bed, she immediately brought up a stack of clothes.
Washing up under the service of the maid was a great pleasure, and I simply ate some breakfast.
Hathaway was still sleeping in bed, but she and Thea were doing their morning workouts by the pool earlier than Beatrice.
It is said that the Silver Moon Elves in the Elven Kingdom still practice monogamy, because most male elves tend to pursue love and art more than desire. Hopefully, it is this kind of elven kingdom that prevails with this kind of thinking, and it also makes the fertility of elves decline year by year.
Today's elven kingdom is extremely aging, and young elves want to break the shackles of the world, and often run to intermarry humans and orcs, which makes it even more difficult for elves to ensure the purest bloodline.
It was also for these reasons that the elven elven elders, who were proficient in pharmacy, began to spend some energy on the study of potions, developing various aphrodisiac potions, and in view of Lady Marianne's reminders and admonitions, Hathaway finally had some new ideas about her and Surdak's heirs.
Last night she had a conversation with Surdak in exactly the style of the elves, so much so that Hathaway was still confined to her bed and refused to get up.
Under the service of the maid, Surdak changed into a new set of noble dresses, and before going out, he thought about it, and put on the magic pattern costume again, after all, in Ruyt City, the second turn powerhouse is even rarer than the earl.
A brand-new magic caravan was parked under the steps of the castle, and the coachman stood by the door in a modest black gown.
The assistant Thea finally changed her clothes and dried her hair, and ran out of the castle following in Surdak's footsteps.
The two-headed ogre Gullitam sat on the shelves at the back of the carriage, holding two baked wheat cakes in one hand, with a thick layer of meatloaf, cheese and vegetables in between.
"Gulitham, Brain Flower, how did you sleep last night?" Surdak sat in the car, pushed open the window at the back of the car, and asked the two-handed ogre brothers sitting on the shelves.
"Very good!" Gulit gave a short answer because he was going to eat meatloaf.
Brain Hua'er said a little exaggerated at this time:
"Dak, it's the first time I've slept on such a large backyard lawn, and no matter how much I roll over, I won't fall under the bed, it's a great feeling."
Surdak smiled and said:
"Hey man, I have to remind you, once you feel like you're going to fall out of bed while sleeping, you must grab something as much as you can or wake up as soon as possible, you must know that the back garden is at least three or four hundred meters high from the valley at the foot of the cliff, even if you are a strong ogre warrior, if you can't deal with it positively, you will probably fall into a piece of meatloaf."
"Don't worry, this can't happen, the fence in the back garden is high enough, and it's enough to explain, there are so many towering trees around the wall, there won't be that kind of situation!" The two-headed ogre said this, but it was evident that he didn't feel as good as he had when he ate the baked wheat cake with the thick meatloaf.
The magic caravan slowly drove along the stone pavement, and the two-headed ogre subconsciously clung to the shelves with one hand.
……
The town hall of the city of Ruyt, Surdak is not the first time to visit.
However, when he came to the gate of the city hall again, which looked somewhat solemn, there were already a group of nobles in dress waiting in front of the steps of the city hall, and when they saw this new and conspicuous magic caravan with no emblems stopped, a group of nobles hurriedly gathered around.
The coachman jumped out of the carriage with a vigorous hand and opened the door for Surdak.
The two-headed ogre stood next to the magic caravan, looking intimidating, regardless of his strength, just looking at his size was enough to overwhelm everyone on the scene.
Thea, dressed in a tuxedo and a knee-length skirt, stepped out of the carriage before Surdak came into view.
Immediately there was a round of applause on the steps, and Surdak nodded to the nobles in the town hall, and instead of giving a speech on the steps, he walked directly into the town hall building.
Clay. Count Cushing probably heard the news of Surdak's arrival at the town hall and stepped down from his office upstairs to greet him.
Seeing Surdak striding into the hall, he opened his arms to him and said with a smile: "Dak, I thought you would rest for a few more days when you returned from the battlefield this time, but I didn't expect to come to the city hall so soon to do the handover, I hope you have been looking forward to it for more than half a year, great, this time I finally hope you back." ”
Surdak stepped forward with Clay. The Earl of Cushing came with a big hug and said, "Clay. Count Cushing, I would like to learn the affairs of the town hall as soon as possible, but I am not familiar with this place, and I would like you to take me a little longer. ”
The two walked side by side towards the upper floor, and Clay. Count Cushing says:
"That's no problem, but the specific affairs of the town hall and the House of Representatives must be transferred to you this time, I only need a seat in the House of Representatives, and you can come to me if you have anything you don't know, although I don't dare to promise to have the ability to solve it, but as long as it is the affairs of Ruit City, I still know some things."
Subsequently, Clay. Count Cushing also introduced Surdak to the Minister of Logistics and the Treasurer of the city of Ruyt.
One of them had the supplies of the city of Ruit in his hands, and the other of the money bags of the city of Ruyt, and if Surdak took over as consul of the city of Ruyt, the two departments would have to be completely in their hands.
The chief of the guard and the commander of the city's garrison brigade did not appear to greet the crowd.
Surdak came to Clay. The office of the Count of Cushing, located on the sunny side of the top floor of the town hall, has a huge terrace to the south, which is the most open view of the three-story building, and you can even see the vast wilderness outside Ruyt.
On the third floor of the town hall, there is only one office that belongs to the consul.
There were few personal belongings in the room and it looked like it was supposed to be before Clay. Count Cushing had already packed up.
Clay. After Count Cushing had invited Surdak to sit down, he instructed his assistant, who was standing beside him: "Inform the members of the House of Representatives to convene an extraordinary session at one o'clock in the afternoon, and ask them to be present for whatever reason." ”
"Yes, Lord Count." The assistant walked out with a stack of papers.
Only Clay was left in the office. Count Cushing and Surdak, Count Cushing handed Surdak a cup of black tea, and said to Surdak with an apologetic face: "As you can see, although I am the consul of Ruyte City and the speaker of the House of Representatives, I do not have much more control over the city than a minister of a department. ”
"Although I once wanted to turn this situation around and make a contribution to the city, there are many factors involved, so I don't have much to leave you, but I won't leave immediately after I step down as consul and speaker of the House of Representatives, and I will help you sort out the interests of the nobility......" Count Cushing said to Surdak earnestly.
His old face showed a look of exhaustion, but he did not avoid Surdak's gaze.
Surdak sat on the sofa, and did not say politely to Count Cushing, and said directly:
"I have some ideas about the future of Ruit City, but this time, I am not prepared to change it a little, this city belongs to me for a period of time to come, so I will push it in a good direction and continue to move forward, any obstacle, anyone who stands in my way to push this city, I will not hesitate to cut it down with the sword in my hand......"
Looking at Surdak's resolute gaze, Clay. Count Cushing was speechless with some astonishment.
He didn't expect that the young man who looked so modest would act like a commander on the battlefield and be full of murder, and he could even see the faint murderous aura in Surdak's gaze.
And he also believed that the young man in front of him had the strength to do what he said, just as he did against those small-town nobles in the dry cloth position......
