Struggling hard with the paperwork, Xiao Zhi felt that this was really a dangerous job. Is this what it meant to require combat effectiveness?

After getting away, he had the opportunity to take a closer look at the Government Affairs Office.

The area of ​​​​the Government Affairs Office is actually quite large, and there will be no problem in accommodating more than a dozen people working at the same time. But now all the space inside is completely occupied by various documents. The innermost papers are dry and brittle. I don't know what age they are.

The furniture all had an old color. Judging from the few exposed corners, almost all of them were cracked due to lack of maintenance and felt shaky. There are still spider webs left in the corner from who knows how many years ago. Maybe the spiders felt that they couldn't stay anymore and later chose to move.

All in all, it looks like a ruin.

Xiao Zhi felt like he had a headache: "...hasn't this been taken care of for hundreds of years?"

Lance took out the document stuck in the gap in his armor: "About...three hundred years...well...maybe Four hundred years? Or five hundred years?"

Xiao Zhi: "..."

How many years has A Sen been lazy?

Lance threw a round badge over: "This is the Hessian Pass. You can use this to enter and exit the Palace of Bones and the Government Affairs Office in the future. If there is important work, the lord will also use this to summon you."

"In a few days I will give you your uniform tomorrow. Just wear your own in the next two days."

Xiao Zhi reached out to catch it. This thing was completely black, with a ghostly skull carved on it, and the words below were written in immortal characters. The words "Hessen Pass Order" are also numbered, so they must have been recorded in the book.

Lance: "You are an external employee. You don't need to stay in the Palace of Death all the time. You can leave after the current work is completed. We will deal with it when there are more documents."

Xiao Zhi asked: "Don't you need to process the documents immediately? ?"

Lance: "No, if it's urgent, they can solve it by themselves."

Xiao Zhi: "..."

Well, this is a very dark way of handling it.

Xiao Zhi turned to look at the mountain of documents that was almost engulfing people.

In this situation, he will definitely not be able to get out in a short time. He cannot log off at will in Hesse. It will be bad if he is exposed as an Athanasian.

Fortunately, his teacher studies games, so he doesn't have to worry about asking for leave, and he even gets encouragement.

However, Xiao Zhi did not expect that he would not only have to take classes in the game, but also experience being a social animal in the game. ZERO is really an too real game.

With Lance's help, the two reluctantly sorted out the paperwork. After placing some documents that were too old and the things reported in them were either resolved or dragged to death, they were finally able to enter the Government Affairs Office.

However, the Government Affairs Office was still full of piles, reaching the roof, with no place to stay.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhi is an undead now. He can float in the air and sit casually on the crumbling pile of documents.

Lance was miserable. Although he was also an undead, the body of the undead knight was not light and he was also wearing heavy armor. In addition to his tall size, he could only stand at the door aggrievedly, like a gatekeeper.

Xiao Zhi picked up the top documents and looked at them.

First: Report on farmed undead bugs not eating stones.

Second copy: A group of small skeletons fought and three legs and four arms were missing.

The third copy: Two undead knights fought and destroyed the residence of the Death Banshee, but were beaten to pieces by the Banshee. All three parties are demanding compensation.

Xiao Zhi: "..."

How come Heisen's documents are all of this level? Isn't there any content about Hesse's future planning and development?

Xiao Zhi took the most serious-looking first report and asked Lance: "Don't you need to show this to the lord?" Lance shook his head: "The lord has never been interested in these." Xiao Zhi: "Then he is interested in

these things.

What are you interested in?"

Lance thought for a moment: "Fight."

Xiao Zhi: "..."

What happened in the past six hundred years? Why did his innocent little friend turn into a ferocious slasher?

Xiao Zhi would never admit that this was his own influence. He never fought with anyone in front of Asen.

After explaining to Xiao Zhi, Lance left. His heavy steps became a little lighter, and he was as happy as a child weighing more than 500 pounds.

It's great that I no longer have to worry about stuffing documents into the Government Affairs Office.

·

Xiao Zhi sat alone on the pile of documents and faced the Heisen affairs.

All these can be decided by him. He suddenly felt like he had become an agent of the lord, and even... felt like he had great power?

After reading several documents, Xiao Zhi felt more and more that it was a miracle that Heisen could endure until now.

Hessen has almost no management at all. It relies entirely on the fact that the undead cannot starve to death. It then relies on its combat power and tough style to deter foreign enemies, and then relies on the powerful strength of the lord to unite people's hearts.

If this was a human country, there might have been a rebellion hundreds of years ago, but Hessen, composed of the undead, has always been united and even won a victory in the battle with Bress.

Xiao Zhi processed the documents quickly.

There is a lot of content about the fight between XX and XX, occupying a large part of all documents. According to Hesse's consistent principle, anything that can be solved by fighting is nothing, so Xiao Zhi just dealt with it casually.

While dealing with paperwork, his experience was also growing rapidly.

In fact, each piece of paperwork does not bring much experience, but the amount is overwhelming. Hundreds of years of accumulated paperwork are now like an experience gift package exclusive to Xiao Zhi.

There is no need to venture into dungeons or dangerous hidden missions. You can gain a lot of experience by just sitting there and moving your hands. It feels like Asen has opened a backdoor specifically for him.

What is beauty, this is beauty.

This made Xiao Zhi's enthusiasm for work extremely high. He suddenly enjoyed the fun of work and handled documents with ease.

Suddenly, he saw a proposal suggesting that the lord increase the bounty by 2 billion gold shells because no one had been caught under the bounty order. Xiao Zhi dismissed it expressionlessly, mastering the skill of using power for personal gain.

As soon as he threw the document aside, Xiao Zhi suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if he was being stared at by a wild beast.

He slowly turned his head and looked towards where his sight came from.

The door to the Government Affairs Office opened at some point, and a man in black armor stood quietly at the door. He was silent and his back was straight, as if he were a sharp blade that could be unsheathed at any time.

It's Assen.

He stood in the dark corridor, the shadow covering half of his body, making his silver hair dim, and his whole person almost merged with the darkness behind him, as if he was originally a part of the darkness.

Xiao Zhi felt that his heartbeat was about to surge again.

Why did Asen come to the door of the Government Affairs Office specifically? He had left Hesse affairs aside for hundreds of years. There was no reason why he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to work diligently and care for the people. This trip was certainly not because he was concerned about the development of Hesse.

So what did Asen come to see? Look at... him?

Let's see if he looks good enough to be killed with one knife...?

Xiao Zhi felt a little cold on his neck, but he still tried to keep himself calm, taking life and death lightly, it would be okay.

He floated down from the pile of documents and saluted Asen according to the etiquette of the undead: "Lord."

This sentence seemed to break some delicate balance. The Lord, who was dressed in pitch black, did not respond. He stood still for a few seconds, silent. Then he turned around and left.

This attitude is really confusing.

Six hundred years have passed, and after years of hard work, this friend now feels both familiar and strange to him. Xiao Zhi can no longer guess what Asen is thinking.

Asen seemed to have matured a lot and become a lot stronger. He exuded a sharp aura. There were countless subordinates around him for him to dispatch, and there were many undead people who were willing to go crazy for him.

He became aloof and difficult to fathom. But occasionally Xiao Zhi could catch a glimpse of the gentle and shy young man under the big white tree in his subtle movements.

After all, six hundred years passed between them, and Xiao Zhi didn't know what Asen had experienced during this period.

He had also asked his teacher who specialized in games before, but Li Daye said that players knew very little about Hesse. They didn't even know the specific year and month when the Hessian lord appeared, let alone his experience.

After thinking about it, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but wonder, could this be called adolescent rebellion?

·

Some time passes.

Xiao Zhi's work became more and more comfortable, and he became more and more familiar with Heisen affairs.

In the meantime, Lance also brought him the secretary's uniform, which was the usual black color of Hesse. However, because he was a civil servant, it was not made into armor, but just a robe, and it was the undead version.

By handling paperwork like this every day, his level easily reached 190, which was already more than half of the players.

Although upgrading is fun, an overly comfortable life will always breed laziness, and sucking up experience packs every day will also make you tired, so now Xiao Zhi is sitting on a much reduced pile of paperwork and stealing fish.

The exclusive communication group of the master sect - the young people chosen by fate:

Hey, hey, the little junior brother is so awesome, he actually became the secretary, the light of the master's sect.

Hillhoms Van Surina Galantia: As expected of the boy chosen by me, humans finally set foot in the territory of Hesse and survived tenaciously!

Hey: However, if my junior brother didn't say anything, I really didn't know that the top management of Hesse had this style. Putting it this way, it feels a bit...

ah ah ah: magical.

Hey hey hey: I thought they were gloomy all day long, meeting around a pile of green undead fire, discussing how to eliminate human beings.

Hello: +1

Seventeen: Now I have to deal with a lot of paperwork every day, and I am almost immune to Hesse's style.

Hillhoms Van Surina Galantia: By the way, you must not tell other players about Hesse-related matters. Research is only conducted within our professional department.

Hey hey hey: Got it.

Hello: OK.

Xiao Zhi was about to reply when he heard heavy footsteps outside the door. After this period of familiarity, he knew clearly that this was Lance.

He quickly put away the address book in his hand and pretended that nothing happened.

"Boom--" A huge sound sounded outside his door, which sounded like a car accident.

Xiao Zhi hurriedly floated down to check, but when he opened the door, he saw Lance falling straight at the entrance of the corridor, cracking the hard floor of the palace.

If you look closely, you can see that Lance is carrying a huge metal sword on his back. Probably because the angle of his back is not very good, the giant sword got stuck the moment he entered the corridor. He ran so fast, just like that. It fell and the dog chewed the mud.

Xiao Zhi floated in front of Lance and knew enough not to support his huge body: "Lance, are you okay?"

Lance's head rotated 180 degrees on the ground, all the way to his back, which looked a little... Horror: "It's okay..."

Lance got up from the ground with difficulty and moved his body.

Xiao Zhi then asked: "Why are you running in such a hurry?"

Lance turned his head back to the front: "I... was about to tell you that a group of Athanasians broke into Heisen."

Xiao Zhi : "How is this matter usually handled?"

Lance pointed to his big sword: "The lord usually said kill."

Xiao Zhi touched his chin: "Kill, they will come again, right?"

As a player, he Very understanding of players' peeing habits. They would definitely not take death threats to heart at all. Even if they were fine, they would commit suicide on their own. How could they stay away from Hessen because they were afraid of being killed?

Anyway, after the player dies, there is just a period of weakness. After the player survives it, he can continue to run alive and kick on the road to death.

Lance looked a little distressed: "Yes, they always show up again in a few days."

Xiao Zhi thought for a while: "Let me go out with you and have a look. Maybe there is a better way."

Lance Nodding: "Okay."

After walking a few steps, Xiao Zhi suddenly remembered that his face had also traveled around the mainland, and he had seen many players in Qianye City and Hilaris. It would be bad if he was accidentally recognized by a player, and now he couldn't change his face in front of Lance.

He asked Lance: "Do we have masks or anything like that?"

Lance cast a confused look.

Xiao Zhi explained: "You also know that I am just a weak civil servant. It would be bad if the Athanasi people remember my appearance."

His tone was sincere, mixed with a little hesitation, as if he was really just An ordinary office clerk, the kind who has no power to restrain himself.

The honest and upright Lance had no doubts. He thought for a moment and took out a white gauze-like object from his pocket: "My trophy is here for you."

"Thank you." Xiao Zhi took it and took a look at the texture of the object. It is light and looks translucent, but in fact it has the same effect as single-sided glass. You can easily see the outside from one side, but it is blurry when looking from the other direction. The size is also quite large, more than enough to cover the entire head.

Xiao Zhi tried to cover his head with a white gauze. The gauze was very light and did not affect his movements at all.

However, wearing a black robe with a white gauze covering his head, coupled with his translucent body and blurry face, he looked more ghostly and even scarier than the tall Lance next to him.

Xiao Zhi expressed satisfaction with this.

Lance gave him another chain: "Take this, too."

Xiao Zhi took a look and saw that this thing is called a restraint chain. It is a standard tool of the undead knights and is used to capture various targets. However, because the undead knights are more He likes to chop, chop, chop and chop, and the restraint of chains often means he just sits on the bench.

After thanking Lance again, the two led the undead knights toward the place where the Athanasi appeared.

·

Pioneer is a player who often hangs out in Hesse. He has his own fixed team, and several of them usually act together. Although Heisen is very dangerous and will die if they are not careful, their gains every time are not small, so it is worth dying.

The Blazers took a look at the time and said to his teammates: "Speed ​​up a little. According to the usual practice, the Hessian undead knights will definitely be here soon."

The teammates laughed and laughed:

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, more With some luck, I might be able to sell it for tens of thousands of gold shells."

"I'm tired of those stupid knights doing the same thing every time."

"Hahaha, look at it. Whoever survives to the end this time will treat everyone to a meal."

The Blazers glanced at their teammates and said nothing. Because he had figured out Heisen's tricks a long time ago, all he had to do was grab a handful before the undead knights arrived, and then die back. Although it was a bit painful, you just got used to it.

After countless explorations, they have mastered the locations of many resource points on the edge of Hesse, and their harvests are getting richer and richer each time.

Auntie, I don't want to work hard anymore, is the potion expert in the team. He stood a little away from his teammates and saw that all the nearby glowstones had been collected. He was a little unwilling. If you take one more piece, you can get more money.

Suddenly, his sharp eyes saw a shimmering fluorescent stone a little far away. It was not far from his teammates anyway, so he relaxed and walked over.

Auntie, I don't want to work hard anymore. I was about to bend down to pick up the glowstone, but I caught a glimpse of a black shadow passing by me from the corner of my eye.

He turned back alertly, but found nothing.

Aunt, I don't want to work hard and frowned. Could it be that he saw it wrong? However, there are a lot of strange things in the Black Forest, so it's not surprising if anything appears, so it's better to pick things up first.

As soon as he turned his head, he came face to face with a blurry face.

That face was very close to him, and even though there was only a layer of white gauze between them, he couldn't see the face clearly, couldn't feel the slightest warmth or breathing, and could also see the forest behind through the other person's transparent body. .

Damn it, there's a ghost! ! !

Suddenly encountered a fierce ghost, I didn't want to work hard and was shocked. If it weren't for the game, he might have peed directly.

He was about to call his teammates, but the cold and light hand of the ghost covered his mouth, and then a cold chain wrapped him tightly, not only wrapping his whole body, but also connecting him instead of the hand. His mouth was also covered.

"Shh." The ethereal voice sounded in my ears, with a hint of coldness, which made me feel goosebumps when I heard that I didn't want to work hard anymore.

He wanted to struggle and call his teammates to rescue him, but he couldn't move or make a sound.

the other side.

The Blazers looked at the time and felt a little strange: "It stands to reason that the Undead Knights should have been here long ago. Why haven't they made any movement yet?"

A teammate said: "It's not a good thing they didn't come. Maybe we won't have to do it this time." If you are dead, you can just walk back alive."

The pioneer thought for a while: "That's right, let's leave as soon as possible. Is everyone here?"

Someone looked around: "Where are the people?" "

Aunt, they are right. "Auntie, I don't want to work hard," his short name is so long and shameless, who wants to talk about it all day long?

The pioneer didn't see Auntie I didn't want to work hard anymore. He opened the address book and sent a message to the other party, asking him to come back soon and prepare to leave, but he didn't get a response for a long time, but the system showed that the other party was clearly online.

Realizing that the situation was not good, the Blazers said: "There must be something wrong with Auntie. Did you see where he went before?"

A teammate pointed in the direction: "It seems to be over there."

The Blazers made a prompt decision : "Let's go first, and then we'll ask him what happened."

At this time, the figures of the undead knights gradually appeared in the nearby forest. This time they did not rush on horseback like before, but instead descended. The horse came over slowly, so that few people didn't notice it for a while.

Seeing the undead knights appearing, several people no longer wanted to struggle and waited quietly to be sent away. I must have been sent back to the resurrection point early because I didn't want to work hard and didn't reply to my messages.

But to their surprise, this time the undead knights did not draw their swords, but instead took out their chains and attacked them.

Tangled in chains, several people immediately felt that they could not move, but they did not die immediately.

There seems to be something wrong with this expansion...?

In the confused expressions of several people, a tall and strong undead knight came over carrying his aunt who was also chained tightly, and then threw him into the crowd.

Auntie, I didn't want to work hard and tried my best to wink at them. However, he winked for a long time and his teammates didn't understand what he meant.

What does he want to say?

Urgent need to urinate?

At this time, an undead man in black floated from the forest. His head was covered with a white gauze, making his appearance unclear, but he only felt eerie.

The undead man in black stretched out his hand and tapped the pioneer. The tall undead knight immediately picked up the pioneer and carried it in front of him.

The Blazer saw the ghostly undead in front of him and said to himself: "Pay the fine."

The Blazer: "???"

He thought he heard wrongly, haven't you Hesse always been a person who wants to sacrifice lives without paying for money? Why did you change your gender this time?

But it turned out that he heard it right.

The undead in front of him continued: "Trespassing into Hesse without permission, each person will be fined 10,000 gold coins. You will be detained until the fine is paid."

The pioneer felt incredible: "This... when did this rule appear? "

The undead's tone was calm: "Just now."

Pioneer: "..."

Players present: "..."

This guy definitely eavesdropped on their conversation! I never thought there could be such a shameless person in the world! !

As players, they are really not afraid of death, but the fine is really terrible. Ten thousand per person will almost make them lose all their money on this trip. Moreover, being restrained and detained does not mean giving them a chance to commit suicide. Isn't it too harsh?

Seeing the players' reactions, Xiao Zhi raised the corners of his mouth under the white gauze.

What players fear most is, of course, poverty. If they weren't poor, they wouldn't come here. Having been poor in the past, he knows this very well.

He deliberately chose one that would make them feel a little painful, but far lower than the price of teleportation items. At the same time, he would not let them commit suicide and return to the resurrection point, so he would not be afraid that they would not pay for it.

As far as the current situation is concerned, these adventurers coming to Hesse to look for materials are completely equivalent to poaching Hesse. Hesse has no profit at all, so it is natural to choose to expel them.

In fact, the best solution is to let these adventurers drive Hesse's economy. For example, provide them with accommodation and meals, and then tax the materials they harvest, or directly develop a trading town, so that the profits that adventurers can bring to Hesse will continue to flow.

But it's too early to say this now. Let's start with simple and crude fines.

The pioneer tried to make him change his mind: "Sir...sir, we don't have enough gold shells at all."

"That's it." Xiao Zhi said empathetically, "Hesse is currently considering infrastructure construction and needs There are many coolies, I think you are suitable."

He pretended to do the math, and said casually: "The coolies in Hesse earn 50 gold shells a day, and if it's 10,000 gold shells, you only need to do 200 days of coolie work. "

The pioneers are sweating. 50 gold coins a day, a total of 200 days of hard work. What kind of black-hearted workshop is this? Those who were sold into the black mines by the Xiyue clan received higher wages than this.

Xiao Zhi continued his efforts: "Or you can also choose to raise bone-eating worms. It happened that the last wave of breeders were eaten up, and we are worried."

He nodded to a few people: "You all look pretty good. "

Trail Blazers: "..."

Damn it! This guy is too ruthless, sinister and ruthless. He is simply not on the same level as the straightforward and honest knights.

Finally, the players were defeated, paid their fines, and left in disgrace. Xiao Zhi did not stop them, and watched them leave with the undead knights cordially and friendly.

After they completely left Hesse's area, they couldn't help but start discussing.

"Who is that man in black clothes? He is so treacherous. I have never seen him before?" "Maybe he is an official? You dare not show his face. He must have had a bad reputation during his lifetime." "He must have been a big man during his lifetime

.

Corrupt officials..."

"Maybe it's those hypocritical bishops in Blaise."

"No...don't you think this style is very similar to that of the Xiyue clan?"

"That's it..."

"It's true..."

It seems. On the continent of Dazemenya, when it comes to the word treachery, the Xiyue tribe is the most popular among the people.
