Chapter 400: 400

Governor Felix was sitting in her office and stared at the documents that piled up like a hill .

“Why did work suddenly increase so much?” When these documents appeared in front of her, she complained . “I remember that there wasn’t so much before . ”

Even powerful mages who could defeat legendary demon beasts were afraid of this much work . She drew a line of height with her hand .

But that height was only about a tenth of the files in front of her .

That was not easy work . In the past, she spent more than three hours every day dealing with these documents . She had to read them carefully, to understand and she needed to think about how to deal with them . Even a skillful government official could only deal with 30 documents in an hour, and that was almost the limit .

“Even if I do not eat and drink and work overtime every day, I won’t finish this work!” Felix screamed . “What should I do?”

“Your Excellency, maybe you could consider decentralization . ” The former deputy mayor of Pyroxene Town and now the mayor said . She was one of the governors of the Republic of Northwest and known as “Yellow Crystal . ”

This aristocratic woman, who had never shown her family name, came to Pyroxene Town with her husband, Clito . It was said that she eloped with her husband .

Clito was a handsome black-haired boy—we should call him a man . After all, he was beyond 18 years old . But when he came with Asner, many people had mistaken them for two women .

Unlike his delicate appearance, Clito was a strong swordsman . His weapons were two swords; they were similar to a paladin’s double knives but much more powerful . The two swords waved like the wind, and there was almost no space between them . He even practiced turning the Dou Qi airflow of a single sword into that of two swords . When he spared no effort to attack, few people could resist it .

Although Asner worked in an office, she was not a weak girl . The Arrow of Purification hanging around her waist was not an ornament . She pulled it out faster than you could imagine, as if a meteor flew through the sky .

Jose had fought with this couple, winning against both in a one-on-one fight, but losing against them in a one-on-two fight . It showed that the couple’s cooperation was strong enough to contest against this legendary master .

After that, Jose once said to Felix, “Neither of them can be considered particularly strong . But their talent is very good, and the most important thing is their mutual understanding and trust . When working together, they can fight far beyond the normal level . I suggest that you let them follow Leon or Olian for a while because they don’t have much professional training . Asner is better because she learned aristocratic swordsmanship before, but Clito only learned from practicing . There are many mistakes in their swordsmanship . I could kill them in an instant if I really wanted to fight to the death . ”

Felix kept that in mind and told this couple the next day . They had no objection to it at first . After all, it was the dream of all swordsmen to learn swordsmanship with the “King of the Seaside . ”

But a few days later, when they planned to transfer from the Void Mask Land to Garth City, Asner felt uncomfortable . After checking at the Red Pig Clinic, she was pregnant .

Of course, pregnant women were not suitable for intense sports . Clito could learn by himself, but he was a good husband . To accompany his wife, he even skipped his patrol before . How could he go out to learn swordsmanship without his wife?

So this was delayed . Then Asner gave birth to a daughter . They were busy taking care of their child, and of course, they couldn’t leave . Days went by, and soon a few years passed .

Asner became an excellent government official while Clito was a fisherman . In the purified river water, there were some aquatic magic objects . Only a master like him could ensure the safety of fishery .

Looking at the piles of documents and hearing Asner’s suggestion, Felix could not help but recall what happened when they first met .

“How time flies!” She couldn’t help sighing . “I remember there was only a little work to deal with before . When you introduced yourself as my secretary, I said, ‘I don’t need a secretary . ’”

“It was clear that you had just become a governor for the first time,” Asner laughed and said . “With the prosperity of the territory, there will surely be more and more work for government officials . This is due to the republic just being established, and the places are not fully prosperous . If all four towns fully develop, then you can’t imagine how much work you’ll have to do . You won’t be able to finish it all by yourself unless you have hundreds of tentacles like Your Majesty . ”

“That means I really should recruit a group of people who can share my work, right?”

“Yes . After all, you are a mage and the principal of the magic school . For you, you just need to make the big decisions, and the rest work should be left to others .

Felix nodded, stood up and replied, “Then, let’s issue a notice and recruit mid-ranking officials from the four towns—no, from the whole republic!”

And then Felix said, “Well… You have also been waiting for too long . If you delay any longer, the golden age of learning would be gone . It’s better to seize this opportunity to finish that work here and go to Garth City .

“My child is still young…” Asner replied .

“Little Yue is about five years old . When I was five years old, I began to learn to write and arithmetic with my father . If you’d like, let me teach her . After all, I’m a good teacher . ”

“Let a legendary mage be a babysitter? That’s a waste . ”

“We are friends, aren’t we?” Felix laughed and said . “Youth is precious . Don’t delay it any longer . Leon is a very good teacher . After studying with him, you will make huge progress . If you and Clito can step into the Legendary Realm together in the future, you can even accompany each other for thousands of years… It is worthwhile to give up the present stability for the future .

Asner meditated for a moment and then nodded heavily .

“In that case, I’ll contact Clito and get ready to go . ”

“So fast?”

“Decisions should be implemented as soon as possible . Otherwise, it may be delayed again . ”

“How about little Yue?”

“We’ll take her to Garth City,” Asner laughed and said . “I can’t really let you be a nanny . We will come back after we have progressed in our studies . Maybe at that time, you can really teach Yue then . ”

“Yes!”

Asner smiled and nodded, put down her documents and walked towards the door . She soon reached the door . As she stepped out, she said with a smile, “Well, all the government work has to be done by you . Your Excellency . ”

Felix, who was still stretching, suddenly turned to the horrible mountain of documents on the table .

This time, there was not one mountain but two .

“My God!” she screamed . “Asner! We are friends . Don’t go so fast! Let’s deal with these first .

Asner’s voice came from afar, “Don’t worry, most of these aren’t that important . I’ve marked out the most important ones . You can use the rest for the test questions . ”

When Felix thought about it, she suddenly changed from being sad to joyful . “That’s a good idea! Thank you!”

Asner, who had gone far, waved and soon disappeared .

Felix also laughed and waved . After thinking for a while, she contacted Sui Xiong through the Channel of Religion .

“Your Majesty, I really have too many government affairs here . I am too busy!”

Sui Xiong was wondering how to perfect a god’s summoning technique and answered, “Really? You didn’t mention that before?”

“I used to be in charge of Pyroxene Town, but now I am in charge of four towns!”

“Where were the previous officials of the four towns?” Sui Xiong asked .

“When we merged, we dismissed a lot of people who were too bad . So we are short on manpower . I need to handle everything,” Felix sighed and said .

Sui Xiong thought for a moment and said, “Let’s recruit . ”

“I just wanted to say that . ”

“No problem . If you don’t have enough people, you should recruit . ” Sui Xiong nodded and suddenly remembered something . He couldn’t help but laugh . “Why don’t we take this opportunity to change the name of the officials?”

“What?”

“Um… Let’s call the officials ‘civil servants’!” Sui Xiong said . “Then, next is the first civil servant entrance examination! Amazing! I am proud of myself!”

“What are you talking about, Your Majesty?”

“Ha ha! An idea . ” Sui Xiong laughed and told his plan in detail . Felix nodded as he spoke, admiring him all the while .

“You are the greatest god! How could you imagine a recruitment method like that! Bravo! First, the written test and then the interview . We use the written test to kick out those who lack basic cultural ability and social experience . This can greatly improve the efficiency of the interview… That’s a brilliant idea!”

Sui Xiong proudly waved his tentacles and laughed .

Half an hour later, this recruitment from Governor Felix was magically spread to every town in the republic .
