Chapter 28

Struggling hard in the paperwork, Xiao Zhi felt that this was really a dangerous job. Is that what it means to require combat power?

After getting out, he only had the opportunity to look carefully at the Government Affairs Office.

The area of ​​the government affairs hall is actually quite large, and it will not be a problem to accommodate a dozen people at the same time. But now all the space inside is completely occupied by various documents, and the innermost papers are dry and brittle, and don't know what era the documents are.

The furniture is all old-fashioned, and from the little corners exposed, it is almost cracked due to lack of maintenance, and it feels crumbling. There was still a spider web hanging in the corner that don't know how many years ago. Maybe the spider felt that it couldn't stay there, and later chose to move.

All in all, it's no different from a ruin.

Xiao Zhi felt a bit of a headache: "...Is this something that hasn't been done for hundreds of years?"

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

Xiao Zhi: "..."

How many years of laziness did Asen steal?

Lance threw a round badge over: "This is the Hessian pass. You can use this to enter and exit the corpse palace and the government office in the future. If there is important work, the lord will also use this to summon you."

"I'll give you your uniform in a few days. Wear yours now."

Xiao Zhi stretched out his hand to catch it. It was all black with a ghostly skeleton engraved on it. Below it was the words "Hessen Pass" written in immortal script, with a serial number, which must have been recorded.

Lance: "You are an external employee, you don't need to stay in the corpse palace all the time. After the current work is completed, you can leave, and you can deal with it when there are more documents."

Xiao Zhi asked, "Don't the documents need to be processed immediately?"

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

Xiao Zhi: "..."

Well, this treatment is very Hessian.

Xiao Zhi turned his head to look at the mountain of documents that was about to drown people.

In this case, he can't get out in a short time, and he can't go offline at will when he is in Hesse. If it is revealed that he is an Asanaxi, it will be bad.

Fortunately, his teacher studied games, so he didn't have the trouble of asking for leave, and even got encouragement.

However, Xiao Zhi didn't expect that he would not only take lessons in the game, but also experience being a social animal in the game. ZERO is really an overly realistic game.

With Lance's help, the two managed to sort out the paperwork. After putting some documents that were too long ago, and the things reported in them were either resolved or dragged to death, they could finally enter the government affairs hall.

However, the government affairs hall was still full of piles, going straight to the roof, with no place to rest.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhi is now an undead, and he can float in mid-air, sitting casually on the crumbling pile of documents.

Lance is miserable. Although he is also an undead, the body of the undead knight is not light, and he is also wearing heavy armor. In addition, he is tall and can only stand at the door aggrieved, like a gatekeeper.

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

The first: A report on the cultured undead bugs not eating stones.

The second copy: A group of small skeletons fought and the three legs and four arms were lost.

The third part: Two undead knights fought and destroyed the house of the dead banshee. Instead, they were beaten to pieces by the banshee. All three parties are asking for compensation.

Xiao Zhi: "..."

How come Hesse's documents are at this level? Is there nothing about the future planning and development of Hesse?

Xiao Zhi took the most serious first report and asked Lance, "Don't you need to give this to the lord?"

Lance shook his head: "The lord has never been interested in these."

Xiao Zhi: "Then what is he interested in?"

Lance thought for a moment: "Fight."

Xiao Zhi: "..."

What happened in these six hundred years? Why did his pure-hearted friend turn into a ferocious chopping cub?

Xiao Zhi never admitted that it was his own influence, but he never fought anyone in front of Asen.

After explaining to Xiao Zhi, Lance left, and his heavy steps were a little brisk, happy like a child who weighed more than 500 pounds.

It's great that you don't have to worry about how to stuff documents into the government affairs hall.

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

These are all up to him to decide. He suddenly felt that he had become the lord's agent, and even... a sense of power?

After reading a few documents, Xiao Zhi felt more and more that it was a miracle that Hessen could support him until now.

Hessian has almost no management at all. He is completely reliant on the fact that the undead can't starve to death at all, and then relies on combat power and sturdy style to deter foreign enemies, and then relies on the powerful strength of the lord to unite people's hearts.

If it was a human country, it might have rebelled hundreds of years ago, but Hesse, which is composed of undead, has always been united, and even won the battle against Brace.

Xiao Zhi quickly processed the documents.

There is a lot of content about the fight between XX and XX, occupying a large part of all documents. According to Hessian's consistent principle, anything that can be solved by fighting is not a problem, so Xiao Zhi can handle it casually.

When dealing with paperwork, his experience is also growing rapidly.

In fact, the experience brought by each document is not much, but it can't hold a large amount. After accumulating hundreds of years of paperwork, it is now like a gift bag of experience exclusive to Xiao Zhi.

You don't need to venture into the dungeon, you don't need dangerous hidden quests, you can gain a lot of experience just by sitting in place and moving your hands. It feels like Assen has opened a back door for him.

What is Meizizi, this is called Meizizi.

This made Xiao Zhi's enthusiasm for work extremely high, and he suddenly enjoyed the fun of his work, and he also handled the paperwork with ease.

Suddenly, he saw a proposal that no one could be caught because of the bounty order, and suggested that the lord increase the bounty of 2 billion gold shells. Xiao Zhi rejected it with a blank face, mastering the skills of using power for personal gain.

Just throwing the document aside, Xiao Zhi suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if he was being stared at by a beast.

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

The door of the government affairs hall opened at an unknown time, and a man in black armor stood quietly at the door.

It's Asen.

He stood in the dark corridor, the shadow covered half of his body, making his silver hair dark, and the whole person almost merged with the darkness behind him, just like he was part of the darkness originally.

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

What did Asen come to do at the entrance of the Government Affairs Office? He has left Hessian affairs behind for hundreds of years, and it is unreasonable to suddenly change his temper and want to be diligent in government and love the people. This trip is definitely not because he is concerned about the development of Hesse.

What did Assan come to see? See... him?

See if he looks suitable to be eliminated by a knife...?

Xiao Zhi felt a little cold in his neck, but he still tried his best to keep himself calm.

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

This sentence seems to have broken some delicate balance. The dark lord did not respond. He stood still for a few seconds, then turned and left in silence.

This attitude is really confusing.

Six hundred years have passed, after years of trial and error, now this friend makes him feel both familiar and unfamiliar, Xiao Zhi can no longer guess what Asen is thinking.

Asen looked a lot more mature and stronger, exuding a sharp breath all over his body, surrounded by countless subordinates for him to send, and a lot of undead who were willing to go crazy for him.

He became so high up and hard to fathom. But occasionally, in his subtle movements, Xiao Zhi could catch a glimpse of the gentle and shy young man under the white tree back then.

After all, they had missed six hundred years, and Xiao Zhi had no idea of ​​Asen's experience during this time.

He also asked his teacher who specializes in games before, but Li Daye said that players know very little about Hesse, and even the specific year and month of the Hesse Lord's appearance are not clear, let alone his experience.

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

some time passed.

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

In the meantime, Lance also brought him the clerk's uniform, which was the usual black of Hesse, but because he was a civilian, he didn't make armor, just a robe, or the undead version.

Just processing documents like this every day, his level easily reached 190, which is already more than half of the players.

Although the leveling up is very happy, an overly comfortable life will always breed laziness, and it will be tiring to inhale the experience spree every day, so now Xiao Zhi is sitting on the pile of documents that have been reduced a lot and sneaking fish.

The exclusive communication group of the division - the teenagers chosen by fate:

Hey, hey: The little junior brother is really amazing, and he actually became a secretary, the light of the teacher's door.

Hillholmes van Surina Galarentia: As expected of the boy I chose, mankind finally set foot on Hesse's territory and survived tenaciously!

Hello: However, if the younger brother doesn't say it, I really don't know that Hessen's high-level executives have this style. It feels a bit...

hey hey: amazing.

Hey hey hey: I thought they were gloomy all day, meeting around a bunch of green undead fire to discuss how to wipe out humans.

Hello: +1

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

Hillholmes van Surina Galarentia: By the way, you must not tell other players about Hesse. The research is only carried out within our profession.

hey hey: received.

Hello: OK.

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

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

"Boom" A loud bang sounded outside his door, sounding like a car accident.

Xiao Zhi hurriedly floated down to check, but when he opened the door, he saw Lance slumped upright at the entrance of the corridor, cracking the hard ground of the corpse palace.

Taking a closer look, 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 in a hurry, and that's it A dog gnawed on the mud.

Xiao Zhi floated in front of Lance, knowingly not helping his huge body: "Lance, are you alright?"

Lance's head turned 180 degrees on the ground and turned all the way to his back, looking a little horrified: "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 twisted his head back to the front: "I... was about to tell you that a group of Athanasis broke into Hesse."

Xiao Zhi: "How do you usually deal with this?"

Lance pointed to his great sword: "Lords usually say kill."

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

As a player, he knows the pee of players very well. Death threats or something will definitely not be taken by them at all. Even if there is nothing to do, they will kill themselves. How can they stay away from Hesse because they are afraid of being killed.

Anyway, after the player dies, it's just a period of weakness, and after they have survived, they can continue to run alive and alive 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: "Well, I'll go out with you to see, maybe there's a better way."

Lance nodded: "Okay."

After walking a few steps, Xiao Zhi suddenly remembered that his face had traveled all over the continent, and he had seen many players in Chiba City and Hilaris. It would be bad if he was accidentally recognized by players. Now, he can't change his face in front of Lance.

He asked Lance, "Do we have a mask or something?"

Lance cast a suspicious look.

Xiao Zhi explained: "You also know that I'm just a weak civil servant, it would be bad if I was remembered by the Asanassi for what I looked like."

His tone was sincere, mixed with a little hesitation, as if he was really just an ordinary office clerk with little power.

The honest and upright Lance had no doubts. He thought about it and took out a white gauze-like thing from his pocket: "My spoils, here are you."

"Thank you." Xiao Zhi took a look. This thing is light in texture and looks translucent, but it is actually like a single-sided glass. You can easily see the outside from one side, but you can see it from the other direction. Just a blur. The size is also enough, more than enough to cover the whole head.

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

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

Xiao Zhi was satisfied with this.

Lance shoved him another chain: "You take this too."

Xiao Zhi took a look and saw that this thing was called a restraint chain. It was the standard tool of the undead knight and used it to capture various targets. However, because the undead knights prefer to chop, chop, and chop, the restraint chain is often only used on the bench.

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

Blazer is a player who often hangs out in Hesse. He has his own fixed team, and several people usually act together. Although Hessian is very dangerous and will die if he is not careful, but every time they gain is not small, so it is worth dying to die.

The Blazers glanced at the time and said to his teammates: "Speed ​​up a little bit. As usual, the undead knights of Hesse will definitely be here soon."

The teammates laughed and laughed:

"Quick, quick, install a few more glowstones, this trip is good luck, maybe you can sell tens of thousands of gold shells."

"That group of silly knights is a routine every time, and I'm tired of dying."

"Hahaha, let's see who is the last one this time. The one who wins will invite everyone to a meal."

The Blazers glanced at their teammates and said nothing. Because he had already figured out Hessian's routine, as long as he grabbed a handful before the undead knights arrived, and then died, it would be fine, although it was a bit painful, but it was good to get used to it.

After countless explorations, they have mastered the location of many resource points on the edge of Hesse, and each time the harvest is more and more abundant.

Auntie, I don't want to work hard. It's the potion expert in the team. He stood a little farther from his teammates. Seeing that the nearby glowstones have been collected, he is a little unwilling. If you take more, you can get a little more money.

Suddenly, his sharp eyes saw a gleaming glowstone in the distance, not far from his teammates anyway, so he walked over in a relaxed manner.

Auntie, I don't want to try hard, I was about to lean over to pick up the glowstone, but out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a dark shadow passing by my side.

He turned around cautiously, but found nothing.

Auntie, I don't want to try and frown, is it because he is wrong? However, there are a lot of strange things in Hessen, and it is not unusual for anything to appear. It is better to pick up things first.

Just as he turned his head, he met an indistinct face.

The face was very close to him, and it was only separated by a layer of white gauze, but he couldn't see the face of the other party, and he couldn't feel the slightest temperature and breath, and he could see the forest behind through the transparent body of the other party. .

Shit, there's a ghost! ! !

Suddenly encountering Li Gui's face, auntie, I didn't want to work hard and was shocked. If it wasn't for the game, he might have urinated directly.

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

"Shh." The ethereal voice sounded in my ears, with traces of coldness, and I got goosebumps when I heard Auntie I didn't want to work hard.

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

the other side.

The pioneers looked at the time and felt a little strange: "It stands to reason that the undead knights should have come by this time, why hasn't there been any movement yet?"

A teammate said: "It's not good if we don't come, maybe we don't have to die this time, we can just walk back alive."

The Blazers thought for a while: "Yes, then let's go as soon as possible, is everyone ready?"

Someone looked around: "Where's Auntie?"

Auntie, it's their short name for auntie I don't want to work hard. His broken name is so long and unscrupulous, who wants to talk about it all day.

Pioneer didn't see Auntie, I didn't want to work hard. He opened the address book and sent a message to the other party, asking him to come back and prepare to leave, but he didn't get a response, but the system showed that the other party was obviously online.

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

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

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

At this time, the figures of the undead knights gradually appeared in the nearby forest. This time, instead of dashing on their horses as before, they dismounted and walked slowly, so that several people did not notice for a while.

Seeing the appearance of the undead knights, several people didn't want to struggle anymore, and waited quietly to be sent away. Presumably, auntie, I didn't want to work hard and didn't reply to the news. I was sent back to the job ahead of time.

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

Wounded by chains, several people immediately felt that they could not move, but they did not die immediately.

This expansion... Something seems to be wrong?

Amid the confused expressions on the faces of several people, a tall and sturdy undead knight carried his aunt, who was also locked up, and I didn't want to work hard, and then threw him into the crowd.

Auntie, I didn't want to try my best to wink them, but he winked for a long time, and the teammates didn't understand what he meant.

What does he want to say?

Urgent urination?

At this time, a black-clothed undead floated from the forest. His head was covered with white gauze, which made it difficult to see his appearance, but it only felt gloomy.

The undead in black reached out and pointed at the pioneer, and the tall undead knight immediately lifted the pioneer and brought it to him.

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

pioneer:"???"

He thought he had heard it wrong, didn't you Hessians always have the style of dying and wanting money? Why did you change sex this time?

But it turns out that he heard it right.

The undead in front of him continued: "If you trespass in Hesse, you will be fined 10,000 gold shells per person. You will be detained until the fine is paid."

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

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

pioneer:"……"

Players present: "..."

This guy definitely eavesdropped on them! didn't expect such a shameless ghost in the world! !

As players, they are really not afraid of death, but the fine is really terrible, one person 10,000 will almost make them lose their money. Moreover, restrained detention, this still means not giving them a chance to commit suicide, is it too cruel?

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

What is the player most afraid of, of course, being poor. If he was not poor, he would not come here. He, who was poor before, has a deep understanding of this.

He deliberately chose a price that made them feel a bit painful, but was far lower than the price of the teleportation item, and at the same time did not allow them to commit suicide to restore their jobs, so that they were not afraid that they would not pay.

As far as the current situation is concerned, these adventurers come to Hesse to find materials, which is completely equivalent to digging the corner of Hessen. Hessian has no profit at all, so they naturally choose to expel them.

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

But it's too early to say this, let's talk about the simple and rude fine first.

The Blazers tried to make him change his mind: "This... my lord, we simply don't have enough gold shells on us."

"That's it." Xiao Zhi said with understanding, "Hesse is considering infrastructure construction recently, and it needs a lot of coolies. I think you are quite suitable."

He pretended to do the math, and said casually: "Hesse's coolies are paid 50 gimbes a day, and if you work 10,000 gimbes, you only need to do 200 days of coolies."

The cold sweat of the pioneers has come down, 50 gold shells a day, a total of 200 days of coolie, what kind of black-hearted workshop are you? The wages sold by the Xiyue Clan into the Black Mine are higher than this.

Xiao Zhi continued his efforts: "Or you can choose to raise bone-eating worms, just as the last wave of breeders has been eaten, we are worried."

He nodded to several people: "Your bodies all look pretty good."

pioneer:"……"

What the hell! This guy is too ruthless, sullen and ruthless, and it is not the same as the straight-forward knights.

In the end, the players were defeated and left disgraced after paying the fine. Xiao Zhi didn't stop him either, and led the undead knights to watch them leave in a friendly and friendly manner.

After they completely left the Hessian area, they couldn't help but talk about it.

"Who is that person in black, so treacherous, have you never seen him before?"

"Probably an official? You don't dare to show his face when you see him. Most of his reputation was too bad during his lifetime."

"He must have been a big corrupt official before his death..."

"It could also be the hypocritical bishops of Brace."

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

"So saying..."

"It really is……"

It seems that on the Dazemenya continent, when the word treacherous is mentioned, the Xiyue people are the most popular.
