Chapter 68 Application for a New House

"Humphrey, what do you mean?"

Seeing Michaela take the bait, Humphrey immediately showed a smile like a spring breeze: "Minister, you know me, I have been working hard for our department, no selfishness, no laziness, no laxity. ”

Michaela nodded, because he knew very well that he was a rookie who would not be an official at all, and that Humphrey was in charge of the daily operation and maintenance of the department, as well as important policy releases, and that he was just a signing machine, and that once Humphrey was gone, the entire administrative affairs department would be finished.

And Humphrey's words continue:

"We, as servants of the people, have never considered even the slightest benefit for ourselves before, until today. Today, under the wise leadership of the minister, we have overcome all obstacles and forged ahead bravely, promulgating countless excellent policies, building countless projects for the people, and improving the living conditions of the people, while we still live in cramped and crowded dormitories. ”

The above remarks were smelted into two words, "nonsense", after being compressed by Torina, and further stated:

"Humphrey didn't actually say anything."

Michaela also said: "Humphrey, what do you want to express? ”

Humphrey continued to smile:

"I just want to say that as a servant of the people, I don't mind the environment in which I live, but the Minister clearly has ideas for improving the housing, so I think we can choose a suitable house for the Minister in the new residential area that is about to be completed."

As mentioned earlier, when Silvermoon City was first recovered, most of the blood elves lived in temporary dormitories due to limited conditions, and as the reconstruction work continued to be completed, many blood elves had moved out of the dormitories and lived in the government's newly built residential areas.

To sum up, even if Michaela is not a minister, it stands to reason that she can be assigned a new house to live in.

Humphrey's extremely sincere words meant that he could help Michaela allocate a good house.

"Sounds good."

Tolina also thought, "Michaela, you just need a suitable house, let Humphrey do it." ”

Michaela agrees in principle, but there are still a few small doubts, first of all, business:

"But, Humphrey, will we be suspected of abusing our power by doing so? After all, we are not civilians, but government officials. ”

Humphrey still had an honest smile on his face, waved his hand and said:

"Minister, you don't have to worry at all, it is one of our government's policies to build residential areas and allocate housing to the people, and government officials are also people, even high-ranking people. You see, didn't even our regent move out of his old dormitory and into a new room? ”

Michaela thinks about it, the regent Cuong has moved, and there is nothing wrong with moving by herself. So, Michaela asked the second little question, that is, a private matter:

"Humphrey, you're still living in the dorms?"

"Yes, Chancellor."

Humphrey also turned his head to look at Bernard, and smiled sincerely: "Bernard, and me, as well as the other clerks in the department, we are all servants of the people, so our personal interests are never a priority. ”

"Yes, Chancellor."

Bernard nodded in agreement.

"What? Sir Humphrey is so good? ”

Torina couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't he from the old aristocratic background of the old Silver Moon City period?" Enjoying all the glory and wealth, can he bear the simple living conditions now? ”

Michaela also felt incredible, but the reality was that no matter how glorious Sir Humphrey had been in the old days of Silvermoon City, he did live in a modest dormitory today.

Thinking of this, Michaela also thinks that if you just optimize your living environment without considering your subordinates, is it a bit too ruthless?

So, after thinking for a few seconds, Michaela made up her mind: "Well, Humphrey, I think I should take advantage of this opportunity for me to apply for a new house, and you should also apply for a new house, after all, I always let you live in a small dormitory, and I am a little unhappy." ”

Michaela's idea is very good, and now Silvermoon City has the shadow of a gorgeous city in the future, and with the continuous construction of new residential areas, it is indeed not a problem to update the living environment for clerks in other departments such as Humphrey and Bernard.

"Oh, Chancellor, you're wonderful!"

Humphrey, who was approved by Michaela, was immediately overjoyed, and even Bernard's face on the side was full of excitement, and he couldn't help but say:

"The housing we applied for was the new ...... in the south of Garden Street"

Humphrey immediately glared at Bernard and added, "It's a new neighborhood." ”

There was no doubt that Humphrey's strange expression was all in Michaela's eyes, so the latter immediately asked:

"What's wrong, Humphrey? Why are you glaring at Bernard? And the southern area of Garden Market, how does it sound so familiar? ”

"Of course I do, Minister."

Humphrey immediately explained: "That's the white paper I just reviewed the other day. ”

Michaela also remembered that when she went to Torvasa, the permanent secretary Humphrey acted as a minister and approved the residential project.

"Is there anything special there?" Michaela asked.

Humphrey laughed, "It's just an ordinary project, nothing special." ”

Michaela didn't think much about it, but said, "I should be able to go to the construction site to check on the construction!" ”

Hearing this, Humphrey raised his eyebrows and immediately looked at Bernard, who also stepped forward and said, "Minister, of course you have the right to check the construction situation, but your schedule for the next few days is already full. ”

"Oh, really?"

Michaela casually asked, "Bernard, what's my itinerary?" ”

I saw Bernard immediately take a form: "Minister, this is the itinerary I made, you see that this afternoon is what you requested, to inspect the engineering workshop." And in the next few days, you'll be inspecting the new workshop. ”

"Oh, that's right."

Michaela can't veto Bernard's itinerary, because he has his own selfish motives to make a prosthetic leg for his sister Malenia, and he needs the help of engineering workshops, blacksmiths, and other workshops, so he must go.

"Bernard, you've got a good arrangement."

Michaela, who figured out the joint, took the opportunity to give herself a step: "Humphrey, since you arranged the southern residential area of Garden Street, you are in charge of it." I followed Bernard's itinerary. ”

Humphrey, who had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, immediately told the truth from the heart:

"I will live up to my mission, Minister. I will immediately compile a White Paper on Housing Arrangements for the Department of Administration and try to deliver it to you tomorrow morning. ”

In the afternoon, according to the schedule, Michaela will go to the newly completed engineering workshop to inspect the situation.

A brief explanation of the location of the engineering workshop, it is in the east of the Sunrise Pavilion, the southwest corner of the Far Traveler Square, and the administrative affairs department where Michaela is located is located in the Tower of the Sunrage in the northwest of the Sunrise Palace, so the two areas are very close.

In addition, when the minister went out to visit, he was always accompanied by a private secretary, known as Bernard, while the permanent secretary, Humphrey, sat in the office to handle affairs.

"Welcome, Minister Michaela."

When she came to the door of the workshop, Danwen, the female blood elf who was the engineering tutor and the person in charge of the workshop, took the initiative to go out to greet her.

Because she had done her homework beforehand, Michaela also called out the other party's name: "Hello Tutor Danwen." ”

The two sides exchanged a few words of greeting, and then walked into the workshop together.

The so-called engineering workshop is a hall with furnaces, anvils, workbenches and other equipment, but there are few people.

Right!

In the entire workshop, except for Mentor Danwen and her deputy Arthurn, there was no third Blood Elf, causing the entire workshop to be empty.

This, of course.

Even in the era of the old government before the Natural Disaster War, Silvermoon City was mainly exporting enchanted products, so there were a lot of enchantment workers, and engineering technology only existed, but it was never the mainstream.

Today, the workshop in Silvermoon City has just been rebuilt, and the resumption of production is far away, so it is a blessing that the engineering workshop, which was not mainstream in the first place, can exist.

Mentor Danwen, who knew his own situation, could only smile a few bitterly, and took the minister Michaela to visit the engineering workshop of few people in his house.

She couldn't figure out why, after the completion of many production workshops, Michaela, as Minister of Administration, did not go to the important enchantment workshop first, but placed the first object of inspection in her own engineering workshop.

On the other hand, as a minister, Michaela was embarrassed to speak first, so as a private secretary, Bernard spoke:

"Ms. Danwen, the Minister is very interested in engineering, can you give us a brief introduction?"

"Oh, yes!"

Tutor Danwen looked at the minister in front of him with great interest, and began to talk about everything about engineering.

First of all, in the magical land of Azeroth, engineering is not just a simple machine, but more like a science that combines magic, which is reflected in the game World of Warcraft, in addition to being able to make all kinds of parts and explosives, it can also build planes, rockets, and even robots!

Of course, Danwen's mentor does not have the ability to build airplane rockets, and she will embark on the path of engineering, which is quite accidental, because Danwen had been to Ironforge Castle decades ago, visited the gnomes who lived in it, and it was from their hands that Danwen learned engineering.

"In the world of Azeroth, there are two major branches of engineering."

Danwen introduced: "One is the dwarf engineering that I studied, and the other is goblin engineering, both of which have their own strengths and advantages. ”

Michaela followed up and asked, "So Mentor Danwen, are you an expert in dwarf engineering?" ”

"No, no, no, minister, you've won the prize."

Dan Wen modestly said: "What I have studied is only the foundation of engineering, and I have not yet reached the level of specialization in a certain branch. ”

"Oh, that's right."

Seeing that the words had been spoken, Michaela asked straight to the point:

"So Mentor Danwen, do you make engineering prosthetics?"

Danwen was stunned: "Prosthetics? ”

Bernard immediately added: "That's right, Chancellor Michaela's sister doesn't have a right arm, so Chancellor wants to help her sister build a prosthetic leg to make her life easier." ”

"Ah, oh (staccato), oh (prolonged)!"

Danwen suddenly understood: "So that's the case! ”
