After dealing with the Athanasi who broke into Hesse, Xiao Zhi and Lance returned to the Bone Palace together.

When only Xiao Zhi and Lance were left, Xiao Zhi asked inadvertently: "Lance, how long have you been in Hesse?"

Lance thought for a moment: "It's been more than five hundred years. "

Xiao Zhi: "What were Heisen and the lords like at that time?"

Although Asen seemed not friendly to him at all, he still wanted to know the reason for Asen's change. To him, Asen was a friend who had only been separated for a short time. Of course he would be concerned if his friend's temperament suddenly changed.

What exactly did Asen go through to become what he is now? I always felt that...it wouldn't be a pleasant experience.

Xiao Zhi felt depressed every time he thought about this. It felt like he had some important treasure, but it was scratched heavily when he left.

He couldn't rashly appear in front of Asen with his true self. What if Asen directly gave him a sword and sent him back to the resurrection point?

In this case, he will definitely not be able to be a secretary.

Not only did the teacher's research come to nothing, Xiao Zhi himself also found it difficult to find opportunities to get close to Asen. He wanted to maintain the status quo as much as possible, and then rely on his status as secretary to learn more information. Even if he couldn't ask Asen directly, it would be a good choice to ask his colleagues.

Lance: "

It seems to be no different from now." Xiao Zhi: "What about earlier? The lord is so powerful, what was he like in the beginning?"

Lance shook his head: "I don't know, when I heard about him He was already very powerful at that time. At that time, he constantly challenged the strong in Hesse. Anyone who was defeated had to surrender to him. Almost all the knight captains were defeated by him at that time. The power of Hesse was like this. Every bit was unified by him."

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but picture the scene in his mind. In the dark forest, Asen in black armor was holding a long sword, constantly defeating strong men and ascending to the lord's throne. He must have been like that at that time. Quite high-spirited.

However, Xiao Zhi has always been a little concerned about the five hundred years, why there was a gap of one hundred years before he left.

He asked: "What about five hundred years ago? Have you heard anything about the lord during that time?"

Lance still shook his head: "The lord's past is very mysterious. No one knows about it, and he never talks about himself. In the past, it was as if he suddenly appeared to unify Heisen."

Xiao Zhi: "Where is the wanted order? I remember that it has been hanging for many years, and I also received a lot of wanted orders when I was sorting out the documents. Suggestion, is there any new information that can be added? "

Lance: "I don't know, the wanted order was issued by the lord himself. All the information is on it. The lord has not added any new information in all these years. Don't cancel it. He never explained the reason, and he never mentioned it to anyone. "

Xiao Zhi thought of another thing: "How much do you know about Blaise? Why do we keep having conflicts?"

"This? "I do know." Lance finally knew something, "Since the lord unified Hesse, Blaise launched an attack on Hesse, and there will be new wars every few decades, especially When the pope changes, some popes will be very aggressive."

Xiao Zhi frowned: "It was Blaise who took the initiative to attack Hesse?"

Lance nodded: "Yes, Blaise's land is so bright, and it also carries the Holy Spirit. We don't like the smell of light over there at all." Xiao

Zhi: "What's the reason for their attack?"

Lance: "Maybe light will defeat darkness. I don't know why."

But there is a guess that perhaps Asen's change is related to Brace, and Brace has not given up on him for some purpose until now.

He made a mental note of the name Blaise and highlighted it.

·

During this period, players gradually felt that Hessen had changed.

It is no longer the previous ferocious style of keeping strangers away, but has become a new ferocious style of plucking geese and fining people.

As soon as those cold undead knights saw the person who broke into the Heisen, without saying a word, they took a bundle of chains and then led the person to pay the fine in front of an undead in black.

The black-clothed undead is very cunning and will set different punishment amounts for each person based on their financial resources and affordability, just within the range that makes you feel painful but can barely bear it.

There are also some who are stubborn and refuse to pay until they die. They want money but not their lives. They want to see what Hesse can do to them.

As a result, that guy actually dragged these players into doing hard work.

The player is tied up with chains and cannot escape, and there is a special person to supervise you to prevent you from committing suicide. It is simply inhumane to still take care of the food when your physical strength has declined. In the end, between paying a fine and using teleportation props, they were forced to choose the cheaper fine.

Suddenly, Hesse's reputation became even louder.

More people were recruited, and the reputation of the undead in black gradually spread, and the players also knew that this was Heisen's new secretary.

Moreover, he was suspected to be from the Xiyue clan during his lifetime.

·

Dolly League, Hyralis.

Teague relied on his vast network of contacts to resolve the trouble caused by a previous investor. Now he was free to be a liar on the street again.

Today, he is still wearing the blue robe of the Xiyue Clan, standing in the most crowded place, with a gentle smile on his beautiful face, and his blue eyes scanning the crowds, looking for new fat sheep. .

The silly and sweet Athanasius is still Teague's favorite, and he gets a lot of attention from him.

Today he has prepared a brand new investment project, a potion that can make people grow naturally curly hair, and if he is willing to invest additional money, he can also develop a dyeing function. According to his observations, the Athanasi people are very interested in tossing their hair and are willing to try many styles that are not found on the continent.

Teague also set up a new scam specifically based on their preferences, oh no, it was investment, investment projects.

Because almost all of them were paying attention to the Athanasi people coming and going, he also heard the conversations of several nearby Athanasi people.

"Have you heard about that clerk in Hesse? He almost took off my pants! How on earth did he know my bottom line? The fine he issued is so accurate!"

"Hahaha, you too I told you before, but you still don't believe it."

"I think that guy must have been a Xiyue tribe member before he died. He was waiting on the street to deceive people all day

long ." Teague: "..."

He always felt despised, but when a liar needs a strong heart, he still shamelessly eavesdropped.

"Even death can't change the traitorous nature of the Xiyue clan. It's so terrifying."

"Didn't you say that all the undead have no desires? Why is he different?"

"You said that with such a secretary, the Dori Alliance will be better in the future. Will we form an alliance with Hessen?

"Eh? It doesn't seem impossible..."

"Damn it, isn't it miserable for Bres? One of the two sides can fight and the other is rich. If they form an alliance, can the proletariat and the bourgeoisie join forces to fight against feudal superstition?"

"Hahahahahaha!! Shente How to combat feudal superstition!"

Teague said: "

What's going on? Is the Dolly Alliance going to ally with Hesse? As a well-informed liar, how could he not know this?

Teague was no longer in the mood to look for a fat sheep. His handsome brows were slightly furrowed, and he sat aside and posed an exquisite picture of a beautiful woman meditating, which attracted the attention of many passers-by.

The ocean is very holy in the hearts of the Xiyue tribe. According to their tradition, every Xiyue tribe will be buried at the bottom of the sea after death, allowing themselves to return to the sea, become a part of it, and gain eternal peace.

Even if someone dies alone in a foreign land, as long as other Xiyue tribe finds out, they will try their best to help their fellow tribesmen return to the sea.

After returning to the embrace of the sea, the souls of the Xiyue clan will be completely calm, so the dead Xiyue clan will almost never transform into the undead.

Teague thought: "Did one of his seniors die outside and become undead because of his lingering resentment before death?"

During this period, he also heard a lot of rumors about the Hessian Clerk intermittently, and the other party's Many deeds.

Teague did not doubt this person's race at all, because this style perfectly inherited the fine traditions of their Xiyue clan and had a tendency to be carried forward.

·

For a while, Xiao Zhi continued his life as a secretary.

He is already very proficient in the daily affairs of Hesse. In fact, apart from fighting, the undead really don't have much to do.

After all, they don't eat, they are not greedy for money, and they don't pay attention to their clothes. There are many people who have been wearing the same clothes for hundreds of years. Even if there are many people living in them, they can just dig a hole and bury them. The demand is so low that there is almost no demand. There are no livelihood issues like ordinary human countries.

Once there is a conflict between the undead, it will be resolved by fighting. If it cannot be resolved, they will continue to fight until one of the parties breaks up. In this way, both parties can be temporarily peaceful for a long time, and the one who is waiting for the breakup will Continue after recovery.

Heisen is such a good place with simple folk customs, Xiao Zhi sighed while sitting on the pile of documents that had shrunk a lot.

During this time, he was working on planning trade for Hesse.

The various rare materials produced in Hesse are urgently needed for the Dazemen subcontinent. Whether it is casting, pharmaceuticals, magic materials, etc., there is a lot of demand for Hesse materials.

However, Hessen's foreign trade is pitifully small, and it only has a little contact with the neighboring Chiba Country. All of this is done on the initiative of Chiba Country, and the materials produced are far less than what the mainland needs.

Therefore, even if Hesse strictly prohibits outsiders from entering, some people will rush in and take risks under the stimulation of profit. Even now that Hesse's fine system has spread across the mainland, there are still people who dare to step into Hesse, among which the Athanasians who are not afraid of death are the most numerous.

As the saying goes, "It's better to be sparse than to block." Xiao Zhi was considering opening up an area on the edge of Heisen specifically to manage adventurers.

This area was originally the most explored area, and it was also the area where Xiao Zhi often received reports of intruders. Set aside this area, allow adventurers to explore under the supervision of Hesse, and let them pay taxes to contribute to the development of Hesse.

But establishing a trade zone is not an easy task. Personnel arrangements, institutional planning, regional selection, building construction... all need to be planned in advance.

The most important thing is the consent of the lord.

Xiao Zhi didn't know whether this plan would be approved by Asen in the end. He couldn't figure out what Asen was thinking. What if Asen just wanted Heisen to remain closed?

However, the entire trade zone is still in the planning stage. Only when the plan is completed will it face licensing issues. Xiao Zhi will not think about Asen's attitude and concentrate on getting the plan out first.

During this process, he did not forget to ask for help from the audience outside the venue. Xiao Zhi skillfully and secretly opened the address book and consulted everyone in the teacher's communication group.

Seventeen: A common material is charged 5% tax, and a rare material is 10%. How about that?

Hey hey hey: Isn't it a bit high? What if someone wants to evade taxes?

Seventeen: Then arrest them and fine them.

Hey hey hey: Junior brother, are you this cold type?

Hello: I think players can accept it. Compared with the previous fines, this tax rate is much lower. There is no risk of death. With the previous foreshadowing, this one seems much more friendly now.

Hey hey hey: Is this the art of negotiation? First throw out a condition that the other party cannot accept at all, and then throw out your real condition. Comparing the two, will the other party be more accepting?

Seventeen: Yes.

Hey hey hey: ...Tell me the truth, do you have the blood of the Xiyue clan?

Seventeen: Look at my big sincere eyes.

Hello: Junior brother, do you want Hessen to develop?

Seventeen: I want to give it a try. Hesse is too backward compared to the entire continent. It's just a plan. I don't know if the lord will agree.

Hillhoms Van Surina Galantia: Just give it a try, young man with destiny on your shoulders. Destiny has chosen you, and it must be that you will bring new miracles to Hesse.

Xiao Zhi smiled. Although Li Daye's words were full of second-guessing, he was really encouraging him to give it a try.

He put away the address book and couldn't help but cast his gaze out the window. Heisen, the territory that belonged to Asen, he wanted to make it better and stronger.

Outside the window is a dark and gloomy sky, and an almost invisible black forest.

Suddenly, a huge head occupied his window, and its empty eyes looked inside through the window.

It's quite scary.

Being frightened like this, Xiao Zhi's original thoughts were all scattered. He stared at this inexplicable thing for a long time, and then he could vaguely tell that it seemed to be a... dragon, a bone dragon.

Because the window was too small and the bone dragon's head was too big, he didn't recognize it for a while.

There are many undead creatures with only skeletons left in the Black Forest, but there is only one Bone Dragon that often comes out for activities, and it is the exclusive mount that the Lord of the Black Forest only uses when traveling far away.

The bone dragon stayed outside Xiao Zhi's window and tried to stuff its big head in, but its head was too big. To get in, it was necessary to make a hole in the wall where the window was.

In order to keep his office, Xiao Zhi had to go up and stop it.

Xiao Zhi floated over cautiously: "Do you want to come in?"

Seeing Xiao Zhi talking to him, the bone dragon pressed against the top window and looked even more enthusiastic: "Gu~"

Xiao Zhi explained to it: "The window is too small It's gone, you can't get in."

The bone dragon seemed a little depressed. It had no window, but it was still stuck firmly to the window. Its empty eyes were staring at Xiao Zhi, and two soul fires flickered inside.

Xiao Zhi inexplicably saw a little hope in this big black hole. He asked: "Do you want to play with me?"

Bone Dragon: "Gu!"

Xiao Zhi glanced at his paperwork and decided to touch a fish first. , anyway, he is already the most diligent official in Hesse.

Xiao Zhi turned to the bone dragon and said, "Then you step back a little, and I will go out to play with you."

The bone dragon understood, and its big head retreated, leaving the window empty.

Xiao Zhi also floated out of the window. The most convenient thing about becoming an undead was that his activity space became three-dimensional. He could not be troubled by any height. This feeling was really addictive.

Floating out of the window, Xiao Zhi finally saw the entire bone dragon.

This guy is really big. The building height of the Skeleton Palace is already very high, but it can actually be about three stories high. Two bone wings with membranes are folded behind the back. If they are unfolded, I'm afraid It will feel like the sky is blocked out.

The bone dragon also looked familiar. It was the one Xiao Zhi had seen from a distance when he was in the Changyue Desert, but it felt bigger after close contact.

Seeing Xiao Zhi come out, Gu Long was obviously happier. It was so excited that it twisted wildly on the ground, and its tail like a huge whip swept around on the ground, making a swishing sound and kicking up dust all over the sky.

Xiao Zhi: "..."

Why does this posture look so like...a dog?

Xiao Zhi reached out and touched the big head of the bone dragon. It was obviously more excited, and its tail flicked so fast that Xiao Zhi doubted whether it would break accidentally.

"Arifa likes you very much." A voice came from not far away.

Xiao Zhi turned around and saw that a window on the third floor had opened. Knight Commander Dean poked his head out and greeted Xiao Zhi with a smile.

Xiao Zhi also returned the gift and expressed his doubts by the way: "It's called Alifa? But I've never seen it before, why does it like me?"

Dean said: "Probably because you are the newest employee in the past hundred years. Man, Alifa is tired of playing with us, so he is very excited to see you."

Xiao Zhi: "..."

Why does this statement sound like he has a new toy?

As if aware of his mood, Dean smiled and said: "Alifa is not liked by everyone. He often fights with Lance."

Xiao Zhi was confused: "Why, Lance seems to have a good temper?"

Dean He made a thoughtful gesture: "Perhaps he feels a threat from the same kind?"

Xiao Zhi: "..."

He always felt that Dean was implying that Lance was not very smart, but as a good colleague, it was better not to tell the truth. Better.

Dean waved to Xiao Zhi: "Arifa likes to chew bones. If you have time, you can find some bones for him. You can continue playing. I will continue my own business."

Xiao Zhi also waved goodbye to him . , and then inadvertently saw the title of the book in Dean's hand - "The Shepherdess of the Overbearing God", which was also a hardcover edition.

Xiao Zhi: "..."

This guy Dean's passiveness and sabotage is too blatant!

And...this taste in reading is really amazing. The majestic Hessian Knight Commander secretly likes to read romance novels about bosses. No one would believe him if he told him.

"Cuckoo~" Alifa grabbed a bone from somewhere and stuffed it in front of Xiao Zhi. The bone belonged to an unknown creature. To Alifa, it was only a small piece, but to Xiao Zhi, it was almost half. People are taller.

Xiao Zhi held the bone and looked at Alifa's wagging tail, and instantly understood its meaning: "You want to play with the bones?"

"Gu~" Alifa nodded.

It was not easy to throw such a big piece of bone away. Xiao Zhi used the wind blade technique to knock it away. Fortunately, the bone was very strong and did not break.

Arifa swooped out with a whoosh and picked up the bones with great interest, his posture no different from that of a dog chasing a Frisbee.

Some dragons look mighty and domineering, but in reality they are just simpletons who like to play with bones.

·

After a while, Alifa had enough fun, and flew away with the bone in his mouth to slowly chew it.

Xiao Zhi also returned to the office and continued to absorb his experience gift bag.

Among a pile of documents about XX beating XX and XXX demolishing XXX's house, he suddenly found a document about Hesse's future transportation plan. The content is very professionally written, analyzing a lot of information including Hesse's geography, ethnic composition, resource distribution, etc., and the suggestions it makes are quite feasible.

Talent!

It is especially precious in the Black Forest where fools dominate.

Xiao Zhi picked it up excitedly and felt that the paper was a little yellow. Then he looked at the signature and found that the time on the document was 78 years ago.

Xiao Zhi: "..."

If this was a living person, after so many years, the grass on his grave would have been one meter high, and he would have lamented that he had not found any talent in his life before he died. Fortunately, the person who made the suggestion was a lich, and he should still be jumping around now. Even if he stopped jumping, he could continue to dance if he helped him put his body together.

It's okay, Xiao Zhi comforted himself, it's just Hesse's characteristics. Anyway, Hesse has not developed much for hundreds of years, and this plan can still be used today.

Xiao Zhi carefully put away this document and prepared to submit it to Asen together after his trade zone plan was completed.

He was about to get back to work when that familiar feeling came back.

It's that feeling of being spied on, cold, heavy, making people feel a little hairy on the back, and can't help but stand on end.

But after this period of training, Xiao Zhi is no longer the Xiao Zhi he was then. Because during the days when he became a secretary, he would receive such gazes every once in a while. As the number of times increased, he became accustomed to it from the initial nervousness and apprehension.

Just watch it, since it doesn't come with a sword to make you feel sad.

Xiao Zhi calmly raised his head from the paperwork and looked at the door. Sure enough, he saw the door of the Government Affairs Hall quietly opened, and a black figure stood upright in the shadow, as if blending into it.

Xiao Zhi put down the paperwork in his hand and said hello to the door with a smile: "Hello, lord, will you come to inspect the work today?"

The door was quiet as usual, without any answer.

After a moment, the dark figure left without saying a word.

Today's Asen is the same as usual, he seems to be in a very stable mood.

Sometimes Xiao Zhi feels that this scene is very familiar, like a new cat at home secretly watching its owner at work but not getting close. Once he accepts this setting, it's... quite cute.

Except that Xiao Zhi might die if this cat was slapped.
