Chapter 23 Problems that ordinary people can't solve
"Yes, Chancellor."
Sir Humphrey looked in the direction of Michaela's finger and said, "The basement of the Hall of Blood in the eastern part of Far Traveler's Square is indeed a key project that the Lord Regent and Lady Liadlin have asked to build, so they are often there to inspect the progress of the work. ”
At this point, Sir Humphrey deliberately made a tactical pause, and when he saw Michaela's surprised expression, he continued:
"I think Lord Regent and Lady Liadline will be very pleasantly surprised to see you move bricks from the grassroots level. Defeat the undead boss, save the hero of the blood elves, become the minister of administrative affairs, and then go to the site to move bricks. It's exciting to think about, isn't it? ”
Bernard on the side also interjected: "This will definitely become the front page headline of the first issue of the New Sunshine Daily." ”
Michaela immediately glared at Bernard, who reacted and changed his words: "Well, Chancellor, I mean, you have turned a page less. ”
Michaela, who retracted her gaze, flipped through the pages of the book and finally found what she was looking for: "Sir Humphrey, of course I don't want to move bricks, solving practical problems that ordinary people can't solve, is the fundamental purpose of my grassroots level. ”
"A problem that ordinary people can't solve?"
Humphrey narrowed his eyes, looked at the page, and said what it contained: "The entrance to the Tower of Sunrage, the fountain in the central square of the Sunrise Court, and the wall on the west side of the Garden Market to separate the traces of death? ”
"Hmm. (3rd tone)"
Pouting, Humphrey looked up at Michaela and asked, "Chancellor, is there anything wrong with these two projects?"
Michaela looked at Bernard, who immediately answered:
"During the Battle of Silvermoon City, in order to defeat the undead, the mage group jointly cast a spell in the central square of the Sun-Seeking Royal Court, and as a result, a large hole was blown up in the ground, so in the reconstruction plan, we plan to use the terrain to build a large fountain."
Humphrey: "Bernard, I wrote the white paper."
"Yes, Sir Humphrey."
Bernard nodded politely and continued: "But during the actual construction, the workers found that under the big hole that was blown up by the mages, there seemed to be a strange huge space connected, and there were monsters in it, resulting in the tragic death of two workers. ”
Humphrey immediately asked, "What about our Ranger troops?" It should be up to them to deal with this situation. ”
Bernard immediately explained: "Well, Sir Humphrey, this has to do with the wall project that I am going to mention next. ”
"The traces of death are the traces caused by the evil power of death when Arthas led the army of the undead to invade. Starting at Dysom in the Southern Ghost Lands, head north, through the entire Eternal Song Forest, dividing Silvermoon City into east and west sections, and crossing the ocean to the island of Queldanus. ”
"Even today, the power of death that is constantly emanating from it will still attract the surrounding undead to gather, greatly affecting the security of Silvermoon City."
Humphrey: "So we have to build a wall to seal off the brainless undead and protect our city." ”
(Tolina takes the opportunity to complain: "Then let the undead pay.") ”)
"But the problem is ......"
Bernard explained: "If you want the workers to be able to get to work, you have to clean up the dead of the Death Marks first, so the Ranger forces are all assembled in the Garden Market, leaving no one to deal with the problem of the central square of the Royal Court." ”
"Oh, that's it." Humphrey's brow twitched a few times.
Michaela immediately answered, "So, this is the best time for me to make a move as a hero of Silvermoon City. ”
Humphrey was silent for a moment, but then said, "Chancellor, I think we must be cautious. ”
But Michaela always insisted: "Humphrey, I think a minister should be a minister." ”
With that, Michaela got up and left the office, leaving Humphrey with a bewildered expression. As for Bernard, as the minister's chief private secretary, he was definitely going to follow Michaela.
"Oh, young minister."
As an old bureaucrat, Humphrey couldn't understand Michaela's thoughts, but after all, he was nominally a subordinate of the minister and the permanent secretary of the department, so Humphrey also got up and arranged the work of the other clerks in the department first, and then walked out of the office and followed Michaela's footsteps.
When Michaela walked out of the hall on the first floor, she really happened to bump into the mage Seidana, who subconsciously glared at Michaela, but Michaela was very generous and just waved at her.
"What's wrong?"
Seidana felt that something was wrong, Michaela was not in the office to approve documents as a minister, what did he do when he came out?
"The minister wants to deal with the central square."
Bernard appeared in front of Seidanna for some reason, and the latter was a little surprised, and said: "But, he is a minister, can't he let his subordinates deal with it?" ”
Bernard explained: "The minister felt that he had a responsibility, so he decided to go to the front line to solve the problem. ”
"This fool."
Spit out this, and Seidana walked to the priest's union opposite the mage's union......
At this moment, Michaela has come to the big pit in the center of the square, as the hero of Silvermoon City, his reputation is naturally known to everyone!
"Look, it's the Minister of Kiyo who is here."
"I heard that the place where he works is upstairs from the ladyboy."
The gossip of the workers immediately made Michaela's expression twitch.
Convex (艹)!
It's been so long, and this group of people is still telling stories about me and the shemale Odlan!
Tolina's poisonous tongue arrived late:
"Eating melons is the favorite sport of the people, regardless of the world, region and race. By the way, the shemale Audlan is downstairs from you, don't you have any ideas? ”
Miss you!
It's a pity that the minister Michaela must maintain her image in full view of everyone, and must ignore gossip and maintain a serious expression.
Tolina, who knew Michaela's mood very well at the moment, immediately complained: "So, it's hard to maintain a personality, why don't you consider breaking out." ”
Michaela "cut", ignored Tolina, and asked directly at the worker in front of her, "Did you report that there was a problem in the cave?" ”
People are like this, they have no scruples about gossiping behind their backs, but when the Lord comes in front of them, it is a different picture.
For example, the worker who faced Michaela straightened up and said respectfully: "Yes, minister, there is a problem in the cave, we have informed the rangers, but they have not sent anyone to deal with it yet. ”
"It's okay, I'll take care of it."
Michaela waved and waved to the workers around her to let them leave.
"Great, minister, you intend to ...... personally"
At this moment, the workers present were shocked, how could the high-ranking minister end up in person? In their concept, those bureaucrats should sit in the office every day and order their subordinates to do it, right?
Michaela crossed her hands on her hips, put on a heroic posture, and said to everyone present: "I am a hero canonized by Lord Regent, and it is my duty to do things for the people!" Therefore, I will personally solve the problems in the cave! ”
With that, Michaela turned around and prepared to enter the cave, when Bernard, the private secretary on the side, immediately stepped forward and handed over the magic lantern with both hands.
Michaela let out an "um", took the lantern and jumped into the dark cavern......
"Wow, Chancellor."
Bernard prayed to the heavens: "May the gods bless you." ”
The surrounding workers were in an uproar, and many of them showed apologetic expressions, saying that they should not chew their tongues at Michaela behind their backs.
As for Humphrey, his expression also changed, and in a voice that no one else could hear, he muttered: "Make a show on the spot and win people's hearts, I really didn't expect it, minister, you also have a set." ”
So what happened to Michaela after her high-profile hole-in-the-hole at this time?
"Ahh
"Smack!"
Michaela landed on her head.
In the spirit world, Tolina held up the scoreboard and shouted, "10 points!" ”
"10 you're big!"
Michaela got up from the ground in embarrassment and said indignantly, "This pit is too deep! ”
Torina rolled her eyes and complained: "Whoever told you not to ask the workers, you will jump down yourself......"
Of course, the benefits are not without benefits, such as the tragic appearance of Michaela hitting the ground just now, no one saw it......
Patting the dirt off her body, Michaela picked up the magic lantern on the ground, and the light instantly illuminated the surroundings.
"Huh!"
Noticing the surrounding scene, Tolina sensed that something was wrong: "Michaela, why are there artificial walls underground?" Could it be the underground structure of Silvermoon City? ”
Michaela frowned, walked to the dusty wall, wiped the dust with her left hand, raised the lantern in her right hand and took a closer look, the wall was actually carved with murals!
Due to its age, the colors on the murals have long since faded, and only the figures outlined by the lines can be seen.
Although the humanoid creatures depicted in the mural are simple figures sketched by a few strokes, their heads are all fanged, which are obviously not the marks left by the blood elves.
Michaela immediately nodded and said, "I see." ”
Torina immediately asked, "Do you understand the mural?" ”
"No, but I know what the humanoid creature is on the mural," Michaela said. ”
Tolina: "What is it?" ”
Suddenly, there was a "whine" sound in the cave, and since the cave was sealed, there was no other passage except for the large hole overhead, so there could be no sound of air currents.
Tolina raised her right index finger and pointed forward: "So, there is only one truth, there is an enemy ahead!" ”
Then, Torina continued to speak venomously: "So, Michaela, I warned you not to die, now the metaverse system is temporarily suspended because the game is preparing for the open beta, and players cannot be summoned." ”
"I don't need you to remind you!"
I saw that Michaela flicked her left hand, her lips moved slightly and chanted a spell, and the ground under his feet immediately shone with purple light, forming a circular circle, and then the space began to tear apart, and a portal connecting the twisted void was forming!
"Come out, my contract demon, come out and fight for your master!"
Even without a system, Mikaela, the demon warlock, has his strongest spell, summoning contract demons!
Soon, the Void responded, and a massive, terrifying, oppressive phantom emerged from the portal and coalesced in front of Michaela.
The devil has appeared!
Michaela exclaimed on the spot: "......"
