Soshyan's compliments and scolds made Rozim unable to react. After hesitating for a moment, he muttered:
"This is the same. Chapter leader, I have never taken care of such a big place."
"Before I became the Chapter Leader for the first time, I was just a private. At least you were in charge of a kitchen system with thousands of people. It's not like you do everything by yourself in the city. You have so many officials under you. I forgot. Having said that, the administrative system there may be a bit thin, with only two to three hundred public officials, but it shouldn’t affect you.”
"Two to three hundred public officials manage hundreds of thousands of people? Why do I feel like my words have no effect once I leave the house? Didn't Crocodile City have a mayor before?"
"Yes, he died unexpectedly a week ago, along with his family of more than thirty people and two pets."
"Well"
Rozim's expression suddenly froze, and after a while he whispered:
"Chapter Commander, why do I feel like you are throwing me into a pit of fire?"
"Ha, you still care about the fire pit? You even dare to go to Comoros, and you are still afraid of this place? That's fine, fine. If you don't want to, just give me the letter of appointment and I'll replace it with someone else."
"No, no, no -"
Rozim quickly covered the letter of appointment in his hand and said with a smile:
"Brother, you know me. I like the natural rural scenery the most in my life. Urbanization is the most annoying. Crocodile City is good. I just like Crocodile City. Don't worry. I will definitely manage it without picking up leftovers or closing the door at night. The crime rate is reduced to zero, there will be no heresy, and everyone can return to the most simple life, without even being able to read!"
As he spoke, he patted his chest.
"I will strictly abide by the Emperor's teachings and implement the Emperor's line. I am the Emperor's best student!"
Soshyan sneered.
"That's a beautiful thing to say. What kind of virtue do you have that I don't know about you? I just want to give you something to do to prevent you from running around, and I don't want you to do it alone. There are staff from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the diocesan bishop of the state church. There is also the Ministry of Justice’s fortress, and besides, you are the mayor appointed by me personally, and those above do not dare to touch you easily. All that remains is to see if your head and vision are sufficient."
"That's okay, well, then. Chapter leader, you also know that there is always money needed to do things below. If I am a little tight on funds, right?"
Soshyan smiled and shook his head.
"Because they are mainly illegal industries, the tithe in Crocodile City is only a little. Even if the head tax is taken into account, it is not much more than a small block in the nest city. Therefore, the management agencies basically borrow money to live. I heard that The salaries of the staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been owed for six or seven months. The currency and banking reforms have not yet begun. Don't expect me to do anything here. I will leave soon. You can solve the money problem yourself. Those drug addicts There is a lot of money on hand, if you have a way to get it, whatever you get is yours, okay."
Rozim slapped his thigh.
"Ah, what a pleasure! I just like what you say, buddy! When should I set off?"
"Leave now, go back and ask your animal friends to pack their things, take the people you want to take with you, and just take the battle group's official boat. I will say hello to the governor of Nessen 5."
"Okay, okay."
Rozim stuffed the letter of appointment into his pocket and immediately left the office happily, preparing to go to the place known as Crocodile City to take up his post. (The story of Lao Luo becoming an official will be released in the form of Easter egg chapters in the future, so stay tuned~)
But not long after Rozim left and Soshyan was about to leave the office to find Sol to explain something, Kayan found him again.
"I didn't bother you."
When Khayon walked into the office wearing power armor, a smile on his face, Soshyan shook his head.
"Rozim just left, what's wrong?"
"something."
Kayon pushed away the chair Rozim was sitting on, pulled out a larger one, and sat down.
"It might take you a few minutes."
"It doesn't matter. It seems that we haven't talked alone for a long time, since you left in the middle of the Maelstrom Expedition."
Kayon's brown face forced a calm smile.
"Feel sorry."
"There's no need to say sorry. We all have times when we can't help ourselves. I'm very relieved that you are back safely."
Kayan then turned over his right hand, and a bright red gem appeared in his palm. Soshyan recognized it at a glance.
"Hellfire stone, but the color is a little different."
In fact, since the battle on the Pai Mao Star, Kayon has emphasized the importance of this thing many times, but only verbally about its use, because Soshyan has been busy with other things and has not studied it.
More importantly, after learning that Kayon was from there, he was still a little worried. After all, this thing has been through many hands. Who can say whether there is any conspiracy hidden in it? Is it clear?
"The self-protection energy on it has been mostly dissipated."
Khayon seemed to be explaining why it took so long to bring this up.
"Madel was hiding inside. I had no good way to deal with it at first, so I took it to that person. Although I tried my best to dispel the protective energy, I still couldn't break through the last layer."
"Which person?"
Soshyan thought for a moment, then smiled:
"Is there anything he can't do? I thought he was omnipotent in this galaxy."
Kayan looked at Soshyan and suddenly nodded seriously.
"Now you do have the strength to say such things to him."
Soshyan waved his hand.
"I don't want to see him. Let's get back to business. You mean, he hasn't even touched this thing, right?"
"Yes, so you don't have to worry. In fact, Mardel's matter is not complicated. He was originally a Necrontyr, and he has not yet transformed into the Necrontyr. Their race has a very short lifespan. I think you I also know that, in addition, this race does not have any psychic talents. Mardell is one of the earlier batch of Necrontyrs who discovered the Star God, and is also one of the highest-ranking nobles among the Necrontyrs. When they first came into contact, the Necrontyrs were not the right ones. The gods of these physical spaces were unsuspecting, but Mardel was an exception. He was too eager to obtain eternal life, and was extremely obsessed with the subspace, so he chose to become a servant of one of several powerful star gods, and obtained The price for a healthy and almost immortal body was that he sacrificed all his relatives, subordinates, and countless people, and began to secretly promote the Necrontyr's plan to accept the olive branch extended by the Star God. This was probably when the Necrontyr began to carry out the plan for the entire clan. At a certain period before the biological transformation, he used the power of another star god to complete his sublimation and became a subspace creature, but it was not completely subspace."
"Well"
Soshyan frowned slightly.
"Promoting a short-lived ghost with no psychic talent to a subspace creature, what kind of star god would have such power——"
