Consul Felix sat in his office, staring blankly at the pile of documents in front of him.
"Why did the work suddenly increase so much?" When the "work" turned into a specific mountain of documents, even a powerful mage who could defeat a legendary magical beast would be terrified. "Wasn't it just a little bit before?"
She complained and gestured with her hand.
It was only about one-tenth of the pile of documents in front of her.
Don't think that it was a little bit. In fact, she used to spend more than three hours a day to deal with these documents. Dealing with documents was not just a matter of looking at them and writing "read." She needed to read carefully, think about and understand the matter mentioned in the document, think about how to deal with it, and write a general handling opinion. Even a skilled administrative officer could handle 30 documents in an hour, and that was almost the limit.
"Even if I don't eat, drink, sleep, and work overtime every day, I can't finish so much work!" Felix wanted to scream. "What should I do!"
"Your Excellency, you should consider decentralization." Asner, the former deputy mayor of Pyroxene Town, the current mayor of Pyroxene Town, and one of the magistrates of the Republic of Northwest, who had been called "Topaz," advised him.
This woman, who obviously had an aristocratic temperament but refused to reveal her surname, came to Pyroxene Town with her husband, Clito. According to the opinion of some experienced people, there was a 99% chance that it was a legendary elopement.
Clito was a handsome black-haired young man — he was no longer a young man, after all, he was a father. But when he and Asner came together, many people had mistakenly thought that they were two women.
Unlike his slightly delicate appearance, Clito was a highly skilled swordsman. He used two swords, and his swordsmanship was similar to that of a ranger's double saber, but far more fierce and powerful than that of an ordinary ranger. The two swords danced like the wind, and his moves were like clouds and flowing water, continuous and continuous, with almost no gaps. He had even mastered the technique of transforming an ordinary single-sword Dou Qi technique into a double-sword technique. When he did not hesitate to use his Dou Qi to attack fiercely, very few people could withstand it.
Although Asner rarely fought and usually only held a civil position, she was not a weak young girl. The rapier hanging on her waist was not just for show. When she pulled out the rapier, it was unimaginably fast, like a meteor streaking across the sky.
Josh had sparred with the couple in the past, and he had won both of the one-on-one matches, but he had lost the one-on-two match. Of course, part of it was because he had been merciful at that time, but it was a fact that the couple could fight against a Legendary powerhouse if they joined forces.
Josh had told Felix after the incident, "Individually, neither of them can be considered particularly strong. However, they were all very talented, and the most rare thing was that they had excellent teamwork and trust in each other. When they worked together, they were able to display strength that far exceeded normal standards. I suggest you let them learn from Leon for a while, or go to Olian to learn from her. These two people were obviously unorthodox and did not have much professional training. Asner was slightly better. It was obvious that he had learned the sword techniques of nobles. Clito, on the other hand, had completely relied on actual combat training. There were too many flaws in his swordsmanship. If it was a real fight to the death, I could kill them in an instant. "
Felix naturally took this matter to heart and told the two of them about it the next day. The two of them did not object at first — to be able to learn swordsmanship from the "King of the Coast" was something that almost every swordsman dreamed of.
But in the end, this matter did not come to fruition. A few days later, they planned to use the Void Mask Amusement Park to teleport to Garth City. However, when they were at the amusement park, Asner felt a little unwell. When they went to the Red Pig Medical Center for a check-up, they found out that she was pregnant.
Pregnant women were, of course, not suitable for strenuous exercise. Clito could learn by himself, but this guy was known as a good husband. In order to stay by his wife's side, he did not even join the patrol team. How could he go so far away to learn swordsmanship?
Thus, this matter was delayed. Later, Asner gave birth to a daughter, and the two of them were busy taking care of the child. Of course, they could not leave … Just like that, a few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Today, Asner was already an outstanding administrative officer, while Clito became a fisherman. After the purification of the river, there were unexpectedly many fish in the river, and there were also some aquatic monsters. Only a master like him could ensure the relative safety of the waterfront.
Looking at the mountain of documents and hearing Asner's suggestion, Felix was stunned for a moment. He could not help but think of the time when he first met her.
"Time flies!" She could not help but sigh. "I still remember that there were only a few documents to deal with. At that time, when you recommended yourself to be my secretary, I even said, 'I don't think I need a secretary'. "
"From this, I can see that you have never done this kind of work before," Asner said with a smile. "As the territory becomes more prosperous, there will definitely be more and more work for administrative officers. The Republic has just been established, and there are not many truly prosperous places. When the four towns are all developed, when the time comes, unless you are like His Majesty the Void Mask with a few hundred tentacles, you will not be able to do all the work by yourself. "
"In other words, I should really recruit a group of people who can share the work and distribute my work, right?"
"That's right. After all, you are a mage, and also the principal of a magic school. For you, as long as you grasp the direction of the government, settle the important matters, and leave the rest to others. "
Felix nodded, stood up, and stretched. "Then, let's issue a notice to recruit middle-level officials from all four towns — no, from the entire Republic!"
She thought for a moment, and said, "Speaking of which … you have been delayed for too long. If you delay any longer, you will be past the golden age of learning. Why don't you take this opportunity to finish your ordinary work and go to Garth City? "
"The child is still young …"
"Little Yui is almost five years old," Felix said. "When I was five, I had already started to learn to write and count from my father. If you are interested, let me teach her. No matter what, I am still a teacher. "
"Let a quasi-legendary mage be a nanny? That is too extravagant. "
"We are friends, aren't we?" Felix laughed. "A person's youth is very precious, don't delay it any longer. Leon is a very powerful teacher. If you learn from him for a period of time, your strength will increase by leaps and bounds. If you can step into the Legendary Realm together in the future, you can even accompany each other for a thousand years … For such a future, it is worth it to temporarily give up the stability you have now. "
Asner was moved by her words. After a moment of silence, she nodded heavily.
"If that is the case, I will contact Clito and prepare to leave."
"Eh? So soon? "
"Once you have made a decision, you have to implement it as soon as possible. Otherwise, it may be delayed again."
"What about Yui?"
"We will bring her with us to Garth City," Asner said with a smile. "We can't really let you be a nanny. But don't worry, when we have finished our studies, we will still come back. When that time comes, we might really let you be her teacher. "
"That is exactly what I want!"
Asner smiled and nodded. She put down her documents and walked towards the door. Soon, she reached the door. As she stepped out, she said with a smile, "Then, all the administrative work will be handed over to you. Consul. "
Felix, who was still stretching, froze for a moment and turned to look at the horrible mountain of documents on the table.
This time, it was not one pile, but two.
"Oh my God!" She screamed. "Asner! We are friends, right? Don't leave in such a hurry! At least help me deal with these things in front of me! "
Asner's smiling voice came from afar. "Don't worry, most of these tasks are not so important. I've already marked out the most important ones. As for the rest, you might as well use them as your exam questions. "
Felix thought for a moment and suddenly turned from worry to joy. "That is a really good idea! Thank you! "
Asner, who had already walked far away, waved her hand and soon disappeared from her sight.
Felix also smiled and waved his hand. After thinking for a moment, he used the channel of faith to contact Sui Xiong.
"Your Majesty, I really have too many government affairs here. I am too busy!"
Sui Xiong, who was thinking about how to perfect the summoning of the oracle, was stunned for a moment and replied, "So many government affairs? Wasn't it easy to handle before? "
"In the past, I was only responsible for Pyroxene Town. Now I am responsible for the entire four towns!"
"What about the former officials of the four towns?"
"I checked during the merger, and many with bad character were fired. At present, there is a lack of manpower, so a lot of things have been pushed to me." Felix sighed.
Sui Xiong thought for a moment and said, "Then recruit people."
"That's what I want to ask about."
"No problem. If there is a lack of manpower, we should recruit people." Sui Xiong nodded and suddenly remembered something. He couldn't help but laugh. "Why don't we take this opportunity to slightly adjust the position of the officials?"
"What?"
"Well … Let's call them 'civil servants'!" Sui Xiong said to himself. "Then, the first civil servant recruitment exam is next! Great! I can't help but admire myself! "
"… Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"
"Haha! It's just a small idea. " Sui Xiong laughed a couple of times and explained his plan in detail. Felix nodded repeatedly, full of admiration for Sui Xiong.
"You are indeed a great and wise true god! You actually came up with such a recruitment method at once! First the written test, then the interview. Through the written test, those who lack basic cultural ability and social experience can be screened out, so that the efficiency of the interview can be greatly improved … What a good idea! "
Sui Xiong waved his tentacles proudly and smiled without saying a word.
Half an hour later, Felix's order was sent to every town in the republic by magic.
"Due to the busy schedule of official affairs, a number of civil servants are to be recruited. Those who are interested, please go to your town office to register within three days."
