As soon as Michaela had signed the rebuilding plan, Bernard handed over a dictionary-thick white paper.

"This is an industrial recovery plan."

Sir Humphrey smiled, looked at Michaela, and said slowly, "It's also the document I drafted. ”

Michaela looked at the white paper in front of her, then turned to look at the mountain of white papers that had not yet been signed, and asked Humphrey:

"You drafted it?"

Sir Haval nodded and said "modestly," "I'm just a creaking old bureaucratic machine." ”

"Oh," said Michaela, as she flipped through the papers, "Humphrey, you're not old at all. ”

And just like that, the time came for the evening.

Michaela, who had read more than a dozen "dictionaries" in a row, finally got off work.

"Oh my gosh."

On the way home, Michaela, who was dizzy, said, "Is this the job of a minister?" It's so busy! ”

But the system elf Tolina complained to the opening: "If reading documents is also work, you are indeed very busy." ”

And Bernard, the private secretary who followed behind Michaela, said directly: "Minister, you only signed more than ten names today. ”

Michaela turned to Bernard and asked, "Am I just signing?" ”

Bernard nodded and said, "Minister, signing documents is not much work, your most important duty is to make decisions and issue decrees, we have been waiting." ”

Michaela's brows twitched a few times when she heard this, and Tolina said even more bluntly: "He's mocking you for not doing anything." ”

Michaela, who was displeased, immediately spoke: "Bernard, how did you get into the administrative affairs department?" ”

"Report to the Chancellor," Bernard said slowly, "I used to be a general clerk, and this time I set up the Department of Administrative Affairs, so I came to apply." After all, I'm not you, I'm not a hero, I can't go to the battlefield, I can only handle civilian work. ”

"I see."

Michaela nodded, "I thought you, like Sir Humphrey, were the Lord Regent's own fate." ”

"Huh?"

Bernard clearly felt the sound of the voice, and immediately expressed his loyalty: "Chancellor, I am your personal secretary. ”

As he spoke, Bernard looked down at the suitcase he was carrying.

As the Minister of Administrative Affairs, Michaela of course has the corresponding treatment and supporting materials, and Bernard has these things in his suitcase.

In fact, with the duties of private secretary, Bernard only needs to hand over the suitcase to Michaela, and there is no need to deliver it to the door in person.

It's clear that Bernard is patting the leader's ass.

No, even Tolina said: "Although Bernard sometimes talks nonsense, he is much more well-behaved than Humphrey." ”

Hehe, Sir Humphrey's position as permanent secretary was personally accepted by the regent Cuong, of course, Michaela, but Bernard's position as private secretary was applied for by himself, and he definitely had to look at the face of his superiors.

Realizing this, Michaela immediately prepared to start wooing Bernard. Don't look at Michaela who doesn't understand politics, but the experience of being a Chinese in her previous life made Michaela instinctively go in the direction of human sophistication.

"Ah, here we are."

Coming to the stairs of the Warlock's Chamber, Michaela said to Bernard, "Bernard, you just need to put the package in my room, and then you can go to rest." ”

"yes, okay."

Bernard, who did not suspect him, followed Michaela into the hall of the Warlock's Secret Chamber, just in time to see a group of Warlocks gathered in front of the summoning circle, chanting incantations, as if performing some kind of dark and terrifying ritual.

Out of curiosity, Bernard asked, "Chancellor, what are they doing?" ”

Michaela said calmly, "We are all warlocks, and of course our usual job is to summon demons. Okay, here we are. ”

As she spoke, Michaela opened the door to her room and beckoned Bernard: "Come on, put the suitcase on the table." ”

"Okay."

Bernard put the suitcase on the table, and then said goodbye to Michaela: "Then, chancellor, I will go home and rest." ”

Then Bernard turned away, not noticing the evil smile on Michaela's face behind him.

Sure enough, at the moment when Bernard just stepped out of the room, he was stunned on the spot, unable to believe what was in front of him.

"Ahh

"Handsome guy, come and play."

"Come on, be happy!"

It turned out that the warlocks in the secret room summoned a group of glamorous succubi through a dark and terrifying ritual to start a feast of sea and sky!

Bernard was instantly shaken by the countless white flesh in front of him, and Michaela's murmur also sounded in his ears:

"Bernard, I see everything you do for me, so you can rest here today."

As soon as the words came, Michaela pushed hard behind his back with his right hand, pushing Bernard into the hall, and in the next second, several succubi leaned up with their bodies and pushed Bernard in the middle.

Looking at Bernard's happy expression, Michaela closed the door with peace of mind.

"No one can resist succubi."

Torina spoke, "Bernard will soon be your puppet." ”

"Don't be so exaggerated."

Michaela said: "Humphrey made me a signing machine, but that doesn't mean he can control everything, don't forget, I'm the minister!" ”

But Tolina complained, "Oh, Michaela, you showed me the incompetent bureaucrats. In terms of official ability, you are not as good as Humphrey. ”

Michaela, who couldn't even write a government white paper, was speechless for a long time, and could only look at the wall in front of her with her eyes open, and said to Tolina: "In short, I can't be a signing machine anymore, I'm a minister, and I have to make my own decisions." ”

Tolina shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly, "Well, what do you want to do?" ”

"Knowing myself and knowing my opponent is invincible, so I must know Humphrey!"

Speaking of which, Michaela remembered her old friend, Ellanra the Stalker, who is now a member of Silvermoon City's intelligence agency and directly obeys the orders of the regent, Cuong. If she could find Ellanla, she would know Humphrey's secrets!

So, Michaela blurted out, "By the way, Irlanla ......"

"How did you know I was here?"

Al Lanla actually appeared out of thin air in front of the wall that Michaela was facing, causing Michaela to stand on the spot without finishing the second half of the sentence "El Lanla must know", at a loss.

It wasn't until half a minute later that Michaela's mouth began to move again: "This, this is my home!" ”

Ellanra took it for granted and said, "yes, that's why I'm here." ”

Just then, the whipping of the succubus and the shouts of Bernard were heard outside the house.

"Smack!"

"Ahh

Al Lanla pointed in the direction outside the door and asked, "Bernard joined the Warlock Order?" ”

"I think he has a lot of potential."

Michaela bragged about not making a draft, and even Tolina was complaining: ", you!" ”

As a result, Irlanla really believed it: "Well, I also think Bernard has a lot of potential." ”

"How can she believe everything!" Tolina instantly felt that there was something wrong with her understanding.

Fortunately, Michaela didn't forget to get down to business: "Ellanla, do you know Humphrey?" ”

"Oh, Sir Humphrey!"

Irlanla didn't want to open her mouth: "Because you became a minister on the first day, you were so intimidated by his long and difficult sentences that you couldn't speak, and then you couldn't make the decisions that a minister should have, so you could only be a signing machine on the government white paper he drafted." ”

Michaela: "Huh?"

Ignoring Michaela's "um", Ellanla continued, "So, you feel that you are being constrained by Sir Humphrey as a minister, so you want to know what he is going to do to deal with him, don't you?" ”

Obviously, Michaela was directly blinded by Irlanla's words, and it was Torina who reminded: "Say it quickly, yes." ”

"Well, yes!"

Michaela, who subconsciously finished the above content, always felt that something was wrong, and before he could speak, Ellana said everything he wanted to say:

"You think I'm spying on you?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Michaela immediately smiled and nodded, and the next second Tolina reminded him: "Ellanla is watching you, watching you!" ”

That's right, surveillance!

Michaela couldn't laugh at all, so she had to burst out: "Why? ”

"Oh!"

Ellanra covered her face with her left hand and said in a disappointed tone: "Michaela, you are now the minister of the only department in Silvermoon City, and your power is second only to the regent, if you are the regent, will you ......?"

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Michaela opened her mouth and said "no", which stuck the second half of Ellan La's words directly in her throat.

"Uh, ahem, okay."

Irlanla, who coughed a few times, then said, "Anyway, you want to know about Sir Humphrey's past?" ”

Michaela: "Yes. ”

"I can tell you."

Erlan stretched out his right index finger and pointed to the minister's suitcase next to him and said, "I'm a little thirsty, pour me a glass of wine." ”

Michaela opened the suitcase and saw that there was indeed a bottle of Yongge Forest Fruit Wine and two tall glasses, and immediately turned her head to look at Irlanla: "How do you know?" ”

Ellanla took it for granted and said, "I just know. ”

Helpless, Michaela had to take out the glass, open the wine bottle, and pour a glass for Ellanla and herself.

"Ah, this fruit wine is scarce right now."

After three rounds of drinking, Ellanra, whose cheeks were reddened, finally began to tell Sir Humphrey's past.

Sir Humphrey, now five hundred and sixty years old, studied at the Royal Academy of Magic in Silvermoon City three hundred and thirty years ago, with three degrees in law, literature, and management.

It wasn't until fifty years ago that Humphrey reached the pinnacle of his life, when he was knighted by the former king Anastarian and became a member of the old aristocracy, and in doing so, became the second-in-command of the civil service. As long as Humphrey continues, when the former head of the civil service, Sir Arnold, retires, Humphrey will be able to succeed him and become the head of the civil service.

"It's a pity that Arthas came to Silvermoon City with the Legion of the Undead."

Erlan took a sip of the wine:

"The rest of the story, we all know, Arthas slaughtered our countrymen, the former king Anastarian, and a large number of dignitaries all died."

"Sir Humphrey survived, but with the collapse of the old Silvermoon City government, he lost all his official position and honor, and became a refugee."

"Until now."

At this moment, Michaela seemed to know why Cuong would recruit Sir Humphrey, an old bureaucrat, to be the permanent secretary of the administrative department, because he was indeed capable of managing the department well.

But, here's the problem......

"Am I just going to be an ornament!"
