Chapter 1342 - Who to Put in a Cage
"My old grandfather, you're going to kill me!" In the luxurious room of Miwu Town, Grimm almost jumped: "You~~~You~~~ Your old man brought this minister here, didn't you want my life? Originally, as soon as we handed over the goods, we could slap our butts and leave, and go back to enjoy life. Now you bring back this scourge and tell me what to do? I suspect that the person he is checking is the rich man we are going to deliver this time! How can we complete the deal?" he said anxiously to Buseco, "If you want to do something, go to another place, don't get it with us." ”
"The person he checked, is the rich man we are going to deliver this time?" the burly and sturdy priest Busaiko laughed: "That's right! I'll not do it first, and I'll do it when the goods are delivered." But you have to cooperate with me. First of all, you have to contact them, and then say: I heard that the shape has not been good recently, please do your best to complete this transaction, and you must hand over the goods in a safe place. ”
The other party's reply was also quite fast, and he made complete arrangements - let Boss Grimm lead the team to another town twenty-seven miles northwest of Miwu Town to deliver the goods, and also sent some special signs. These signs are attached to the trucks as they travel deep into the swampy forest, and the trucks become "special health drinks". Because the local area is close to the country of the lizardmen and snake people in the south, some special drinks obtained from there are health care products that the government wants to use, and officials of all sizes like it very much.
When these trucks arrived at Hidden Mist Town, they were really treated as 'special drinks from the government', and they were waved in by the four arcane soldiers and three third-order mages who were guarding the door. There was already a reception official here to greet you: "But you are looking forward to it, how are you doing along the way?"
Grimm said, "No problem. The tall Mr. Buseco next to him interjected: "I am a little worried on the road, but I am relieved to come to you." Your magic circle here is really big. Is it a simple fortress?" It was these words that brought Grimm's attention: there were indeed strong arcane fluctuations in this stone-walled town, and if you looked at it with the detection of magic or arcane vision, you could see that the magical aura of light enveloped the entire town, almost extending to the outside of the solid barrier. It seemed to be a small simple lock! It was so frightened that he almost shuddered: this is still the land of the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger?
However, after leading the convoy through several sparsely populated Houyan streets and alleys with many warehouses. He finally discovered the secret: this town is a magical defense system composed of several large magic arrays, at first glance he thought it was a mystery, but if he looked closely at the scattered spiritual light, he could see that most of the hidden spells were low-level spells. For example, Fool's Touch, Deafness and Blindness, Cobwebs, etc., at most the magic traces of the 3rd Order Slow Technique, and ~~~ Huh??Wait!I added an ordinary 'detection magic' to myself, how could I see the subtle magic traces in the magic array?!
Grimm felt strange, and when he opened his eyes and looked closely, he could still see the traces of spells in the four spiritual lights, one by one, one by one. He was surprised to withdraw the spell, but he was shocked: "Ah, I can directly cast the 'Detection Magic'!" I have the supernatural power of the 'Detection Magic'!
With a secret joy in his heart, he turned around and asked the master Buseco beside him: "You can see the magic array here, what are the things in these magic arrays?" and Buseco replied casually: "Some practical low-level spells can be used to deal with the invading small group of bandits, a small number of snake people and lizardmen." Deafness and blindness, spider webs, slowness or something. ”
Grimm, who was confirmed, was overjoyed: "This ability can't be offensive and defensive, but it's also interesting, and he can pretend to be a master in the future, and call others." Haha~~~~'After the mood was relaxed, there were more words. With the officials who led the way, Haikan from all over the world. It's just that people have something on their minds and don't have the heart to talk to him in detail. Even when they went to the restaurant to eat together, there were small officials who came. Tell the official: "The latest official letter from above has come down. It is necessary to carry out a major safety inspection activity before the holiday. That's the main thing. ”…,
The official who was eating picked up the official document and looked at it, and immediately became angry: "I will hand in the summary the day after tomorrow?!! he thinks we are all gods and demons? Tomorrow may not be able to reach everywhere. I didn't even hit the fart, let me hand in a fart!!Huh~~~ Those in the office above know to give orders all day long, big orders set small orders. If we do a good job, it is their achievements, and if we do not do a good job, it is our fault. It's really hard to take us all day long~~~~"
He put away the official document angrily, and Grimm on the other side also joked: "You are still miserable, sitting in the best carriage, wearing the best clothes, and having such a sumptuous meal at any table." I couldn't live for the first few years. Hehehe~~~" saw the other party smile bitterly and shook his head: "The burden is heavy." If you don't do it well, you will be unhappy. But if we want to do it really well~~~hehe~~~ It's difficult, it's difficult! Don't look at my fragrant food and spicy drink, but it's really difficult to do a few practical things. It takes a lot of time and energy, not to mention all kinds of obstacles or contradictions in between. ”
"You are not from an official family. I don't know the doorway inside -- we don't think we have power, but it is extremely difficult, almost impossible, to get things done properly, to the satisfaction of all parties, and to the proximity of the distance! It is still possible to get things done, no matter whether others are satisfied or not, whether the distance is appropriate or not. If you want to use power to do your own thing, it is the easiest. Do you like to do simple things, or do you like to do difficult things? Just like this table of dishes, if I do it myself, I have to ask this, ask that, and make a recipe for a long time, and in order to prevent the waste of public funds, I have to consider the price, and even go to the market to buy vegetables, wash vegetables, cut vegetables, and cook vegetables. Not to mention doing it, even managing it yourself is also a very troublesome and energy-consuming thing. But if I just leave this matter to this hotel, the matter will be done anyway, and I will enjoy it, and the two of you will basically get it, and the matter will be over. Hello, I'm good, as for whether other people are good or not, whether the price is reasonable and fair, whether it is in line with the long-term development of the country, and whether it meets the needs of human social progress~~~~ Hand quality wood! Who cares about such a lot of problems? Do you two have the energy to care? Do I have the energy to care? Does the Sun King have the energy to care?"
Grimm smiled diagonally: "If no one cares, you guys will mess around." So, put power in a cage. Who knew that the official on the other side smiled perfunctorily, but there was a trace of contempt in his eyes, obviously disagreeing with this. And Buseco, who was next to him, pointed out the key: "It's hard to get everything done when you have power." If you put power in a cage, you don't have much power, how can you get things done? Without the restraint of power, this society will either become a temporary kingdom of God or a heavenly ruin that will collapse. ”
Grimm was stunned: "This is also ~~~ So there is no way to say this?" Then Buseco, who was bare-haired next to him, replied: "There is a way, but it is not easy to do it - not to put power in a cage, but to put the 'abuse of power' in a cage." The difference between the words is worlds apart. ”
The official on the other side chuckled: "It's the same whether it's closed or not." Anyway, we don't have much real power to do practical things now, so we can only help the top to make the pasting more beautiful. In the future, it is better to throw the responsibility on those dynamic social organizations. There is no need to make up any activity plans, intermediate inspections, post-event evaluations, public satisfaction surveys, and rectification and improvement measures!
Grimm said: "But the big officials above are not satisfied, and if their power is closed, they will not be able to be chic." Who knew that the official opposite was in a hurry to eat and said: "It depends on what grade of official it is." What is the mayor below is estimated to be very unhappy, but the mayor above ~~~hehe~~~ People are all powerful people in the local area, or people with greater power in the upper echelons. The power is locked up, but this thing still needs to be done. Who do you want to do?"...,
On the other side, Buseco replied: "Let your own family forces do it, or a group that is involved with your own family forces!" This is the trick of going out of the left pocket and going in the right pocket. It's a big trick, and the people can't see it. The official had almost eaten, looked up and smiled: "Talking to someone like you who understands is worry-free." ”
A few people ended the banquet with small talk, and the officials led their convoy through the winding alleys to unload the goods in a large fortified compound. On the way, I happened to pass by the town hall, which looked like a large hotel, and the official said, "Wait a minute, everyone, I will go in and explain something to the clerk adjutant." Ten minutes at most. ”
Grimm joked, "Are you going to ask the clerical officer to compile a summary and compile the materials for the inspection? If all parties honestly handle things properly, we won't be able to do a few things that year, and how can we still get results? People produce results every day, and we can't fall behind. ”
Grimm pointed to the small golden-domed sun temple that was bubbling up not far away, and joked: "The god of Companion Luo is watching you from the side, and you still dare to mess around?" Naturally, there is a way to deal with it. I'll go back as soon as I go. ”
I went in for ten minutes, but I didn't see him come out, probably because the information was not well arranged. Bored, Grimm got out of the carriage and went to the door of the town hall to wait leisurely, only to see at a glance that inside the gate of the town hall was a statue of the sun god with golden flames, as if the treasure of the town hall was standing there, and it also emitted hazy spell fluctuations. Suddenly, he said in a lost voice: "Accompany the gods to watch inside, and they dare to openly lie in front of the gods? Hahahaha~~~~"
