"Am I just a decoration?"
Faced with Michaela's argument, both Ellanra in reality and Torina, the system elf in the spiritual world, said in unison:
"You are just a decoration!"
Michaela was not convinced and asked: "Why?"
Torina just had a venomous tongue and didn't know the answer herself, but Ellanla was a veteran and explained directly:
"Michaela, think about it carefully, how did you become a minister?"
No need to think about it!
Michaela opened her mouth and said: "I rely on merit!"
Ellanla corrected: "To be precise, it is military merit, but not political achievement. Think about it, you have military merit, but you have become a civilian official."
Now, let alone Michaela, even Torina said: "Hey, it seems a little strange."
"Look, you get it!"
Ellanra smiled and said: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with what the Regent did. Today's blood elves are in crisis and need heroes. When heroes come forward, of course they should be rewarded."
Michaela added: "So I became a high official."
"That's right," Ellanra continued: "But from a practical point of view, government departments need professional management, and you, Michaela, although you are the hero of the blood elves, you obviously don't understand politics, so you need The assistant of an old bureaucrat."
Michaela really didn't say anything.
As a Chinese in her previous life, Michaela had clear common sense and let professionals do the work. When it came to being an official, Sir Humphrey was indeed better than herself.
At the same time, Ellanla also said: "Michaela, I know very well that you are not the kind of person who likes to sit in the office and approve documents, so you will get out of the office sooner or later, right?"
Of course Michaela doesn't want to be trapped in the office, but he also has his own unspeakable secrets at the moment:
"The internal beta of the game "Yuanverse-World of Warcraft" has ended, and the server is temporarily closed, waiting for the public beta."
Torina told Mikayla: "Since the metaverse system is directly connected to the game, because the game is temporarily suspended, you are temporarily unable to summon player characters to fight for you, so it is safest to stay in the office during this period."
Of course, everything has two sides. The end of the internal beta of "Metaverse - World of Warcraft" has indeed resulted in Mikaela temporarily unable to use the system to summon players. However, when the game's open beta opens, there will be more players available for Mikaela. Pull the summon, and there will no longer be embarrassing situations such as no players online.
And now Mikaela has reestablished contact with his contracted demon through the demon summoning circle, and his strength as a demon warlock has basically recovered. As long as he does not deliberately seek death, there will be no problems.
"Michaela?"
Seeing that the other party was in a daze, Ellanla asked: "Did you hear what I said?"
Michaela immediately said "hmm" and said: "Allanra, you really understand me. I will indeed not sit in the office forever and approve documents. But now, the regent has just appointed me as minister, and I will leave immediately It’s not very good either. So, I’m thinking about what I can do for the Administrative Affairs Department and our blood elves.”
Ellanla narrowed her eyes, looked at Michaela, and said, "I can't tell, you are quite ideologically aware."
Michaela raised her glass and smiled: "I just know that as an official, you should serve the people wholeheartedly."
"What a man who serves the people wholeheartedly. I hope you are not just talking empty words. Cheers."
Ellanla also raised his wine glass, clinked it with Michaela, and then the two of them drank.
"It's really good wine, oh, I have it!"
Michaela suddenly had an idea: "Ellanla, you just said that Sir Humphrey has been working in the civil service system of old Silvermoon City for hundreds of years?"
"Yes," Ellanla nodded: "What's wrong?"
Michaela then asked: "Has he ever worked at the grassroots level, that is, in the field?"
"go to the scene?"
Ellanla thought for a while and replied: "If you mean going to the site to inspect, Sir Humphrey has indeed done it; but if you mean going to the site, you mean going to the site to work directly. , He definitely hasn’t done it.”
"Sir Humphrey is an excellent bureaucrat trained in the old Silvermoon City civil service system. He will not work at the bottom."
At this point, Ellanla suddenly realized something, looked at Mikaela, and asked, "Do you want to work at the bottom?"
"That's right."
Michaela nodded. Of course, working at the grassroots level does not mean directly moving bricks on the construction site. After all, Michaela is now a minister. With his noble status, even if he can put down his body to move bricks, others will how to think?
Therefore, the specific work done at the grassroots level is the key.
So what to do?
Ellanla rolled her eyes and glanced outside the door at the feast of sea and sky in the hall of the warlock's chamber. Michaela understood instantly...
Early the next morning, Michaela came to the office of the Department of Administrative Affairs. The old bureaucrat Sir Humphrey was already waiting there and said politely:
"Good morning, Minister."
Michaela, who sat on the minister's throne, smiled and said hello: "Good morning, Humphrey."
At this time, Bernard opened the door and walked into the office. Sir Humphrey turned to look at the young blood elf and said calmly:
"Bernard, you're late."
Facing Humphrey's responsibilities, Bernard was a little panicked: "Sorry, Sir Humphrey, I..."
"It's not his fault."
Michaela smiled and said: "I shouldn't have left Bernard at the succubus party in the Warlock's Secret Society last night."
"Oh, it turns out to be a succubus party."
Humphrey seemed to understand something and said with a smile: "Bernard, as an ordinary person, you can go through a succubus party and still go to work the next morning. It seems that you have great potential."
At the end, Humphrey turned to Michaela and said: "Minister, I suggest that we expand the professional union. This way, Bernard will have the opportunity to join the Warlock Secret Society."
"Expand professional unions!"
Michaela raised her eyebrows, and the system elf Tolina immediately said: "Michaela, in the game "World of Warcraft", the role played by the player is an adventurer from a professional union."
That’s right, adventurer!
"That's a good idea."
Michaela smiled and said: "Humphrey, you can draft a white paper!"
"my pleasure."
After that, Humphrey deliberately asked: "Minister, have you ever thought about writing a white paper yourself?"
Haha, if I can write a white paper, do I still need you?
Michaela, who had already settled her position, said immediately: "Sir Humphrey, I admit that I am indeed inferior to you in terms of clerical work."
"oh!"
Hearing this, Humphrey raised his eyebrows and looked at Michaela with a softer look: "It's really interesting. In my memory, young people like you often have eyes higher than the sky and feel that they have something." The system, with its plug-ins, can do anything.”
"Ah, ah?"
Michaela was stunned. How did Humphrey know that he had a system cheat?
In fact, Humphrey didn't just want to express that young people are inexperienced and don't know the world, but his words made Michaela, who really had a cheat, nervous.
However, in Humphrey's eyes, Michaela's nervousness turned into the reaction that a child who knows he is wrong should have when being scolded by a parent.
So Humphrey nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Very good, minister, if you want, I can teach you."
The other party has bowed his head and admitted his mistake. As an elder, Humphrey naturally has no intention of letting the bad guy do it to the end. What's more, Michaela's achievements in the Battle of Silvermoon City are obvious to all. Since the regent made him a minister, then this old man himself It's not like the bureaucrats can't help him.
teach me?
However, after Humphrey's words entered Michaela's ears, it was a different scene. He immediately discussed with Torina in the spiritual world:
"Humphrey actually knows the system, and he wants to teach me! Torina, is he also a time traveler?"
Torina was also confused: "I'm just a system elf. I can't possibly know about other time-travelers. But..."
Michaela: "But what?"
Torina: "The reason why you traveled through time was the evil god's power. So is the evil god looking for a time traveler?"
Michaela was surprised: "It's possible!"
Haha, the misunderstanding is getting bigger and bigger.
"Minister, actually the white paper is not difficult, as long as you know the relevant concepts..."
Fortunately, Humphrey expressed his true thoughts and finally put an end to this misunderstanding.
"etc!"
Michaela reacted and said: "Sir Humphrey, do you want to teach me how to write a white paper?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
Humphrey looked at Michaela, looking a little confused.
Michaela let out a breath: "I thought you were also a time traveler and wanted to teach me how to use the system."
"Time travel? What time travel?"
Of course Humphrey couldn't understand what a time traveler was.
"No, no, that's not important."
Michaela immediately changed the subject: "I just want to say, Sir Humphrey, I will leave all the work on the white paper to you in the future."
"no problem."
Writing white papers was Sir Humphrey's best job, but the old bureaucrat felt that the young minister had not finished speaking, so he took the initiative to speak:
"So, minister, what do you want to do?"
Michaela expressed her original thoughts: "I thought about it all night yesterday and realized that my role in the office is not as good as yours, so I plan to go down to the grassroots and see what I can do."
"Go to the grassroots level?"
Sir Humphrey almost laughed: "With all due respect, Minister, are you going to wear a gorgeous dress and a hero's medal, and then go to the construction site to move bricks? You are embarrassing the Prince Regent."
"No, no, no, Sir Humphrey, you have got the wrong meaning."
Michaela explained: "Of course I know that as a minister, it is really inappropriate to go to the construction site to move bricks, but grassroots work is not limited to moving bricks."
"Um?"
Humphrey raised his eyebrows. At this time, he already felt that he seemed to have underestimated the young minister in front of him.
Michaela took the opportunity to say hello: "Bernard, bring over yesterday's white paper on the reconstruction plan."
Bernard immediately put the white paper he had prepared on his desk. At this moment, as an old bureaucrat, Humphrey already understood that Michaela must have won over Bernard at the succubus party last night.
Michaela opened the white paper, pointed to the paragraphs on it and said:
"Look, Sir Humphrey, the plan in your white paper is indeed perfect, but during the actual operation, some problems that you did not expect arose, and I went to the grassroots level to solve these problems."
Sir Humphrey glanced at the words on Michaela's finger and seemed to understand something:
"Well, it seems all I can say is..."
"Yes, Minister."
