Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1721 The Awakening of the Newly Appointed Lawrence
August 838, 8 in the Netherian calendar.

On the east side of the altar square in Linshui Village, the government affairs hall.

It was rare for Xia Duo to attend a regular meeting of territorial officials. Just at this time yesterday, Horn from Kilan High Tower summoned again to urge candidates for the bloodline sequencing project.

About this Xia Duo had been handed over to the Academy for selection before Midsummer Festival. There were four people in total, and they were all ready when he asked yesterday.

In addition, the people who let Aiwa choose to take to the Severton office have also been prepared. The reason why Xia Duo hasn't left yet is because of this regular meeting.

Although he can make decisions on the personnel affairs of the territory, he still puts some important personnel appointments in the regular meeting for everyone to discuss.

At this regular meeting, Xia Duohui officially appointed Lawrence as the head of the territory's Department of Culture and Education. Before that, the Department of Culture and Education was always led by Layton, and Lawrence existed more as an officer.

But the assessment has been going on for so long. Xia Duo is very satisfied with Lawrence's work attitude and achievements, and it is reasonable to mention him. After all, as the consul of the territory, it is impossible for Leiden to be held back by the Department of Culture and Education for a long time. .

"What's your opinion on the appointment of Lawrence as Minister of Culture and Education?"

This is the first time that Xia Duo proposed the concept of "Minister" at the regular meeting of the territory officials. This is a new word in Nether language that he coined.

However, everyone present did not seem surprised. After all, Layton had already learned new words from them before today's meeting. In addition, Lawrence was about to go to the Kingdom of Akola for further study, which was already well known to everyone. .

"I agree." Jeff from the Development Department was the first to express his opinion.

As a department head who is always worried about being replaced by his capable subordinates, he will be the first to stand up every time he encounters this kind of opportunity to gain favor with the lord and colleagues.

He is very clear that the current systems of the territory are many times stricter than in the past. Although he is not as capable as his subordinate Clark, as long as he does not make mistakes or provoke public anger, who will deliberately target him?

No matter how capable Clark is, it is not Clark who is in contact with the heads of various departments in the territory, but himself. Although the laws and systems of the territory have avoided human influence as much as possible, people are not machines after all, and they will always be affected.

This time Lawrence's ascendance is a foregone conclusion, not to mention him, even Layton, who is the consul, cannot temporarily repent, so what is there to worry about?

Even Jeff gave Lawrence a small compliment after expressing his opinion, "Everyone can see the work of the Department of Culture and Education during this period, and I'm afraid it would be no better than Lawrence for anyone else."

"I agree."

Being preempted by Jeff, Jacco was not far behind, and immediately stood up to express his opinion. In fact, most people in today's conference room looked at Lawrence, although they didn't say anything, they felt a little inferior in their hearts.

Now that the other party is being reused by the lord, this kind of thinking is further intensified, and perhaps mixed with some sense of crisis that they may be replaced by other better people, so that they unknowingly and subconsciously show favor to Lawrence.

Xia Duo sat in the main position, so he could clearly see the subtle emotions below. He was not surprised that Lawrence could smoothly integrate into the territory system, but Xia Duo had some thoughts in his heart that the other party could be so "popular".

It's not too dark, but it also gives birth to vigilance.

Lawrence is undoubtedly powerful as a spellcaster, let alone the bard who is best at touching people's hearts. Perhaps Lawrence has never used spells on ordinary people in the territory at work, but what about others?

Relevant protection mechanisms must be improved!
Thinking of this, Xia Duo glanced at the nervous Jay at the end of the conference table, young people still need to take more responsibility!

……

Soon, everyone voted, and Lawrence officially became the Minister of Culture and Education of the Territory. Xia Duo congratulated him, and then announced that he would send Lawrence to the Kingdom of Akola for an art exchange.

Although it is indeed "advanced training" in essence, it is in the name of "communication", that is, Xia Duo once saved the life of King Akola. "Communication" opportunities.

Small countries are like this, let alone large countries. Human beings can perform, but it is almost impossible to communicate with other artists of the same kind.

Undoubtedly, Xia Duo's decision immediately won unanimous support from everyone.

Lawrence himself stood up even more excitedly, and said in a trembling voice:

"For a long time, elves have always held various prejudices against humans. Fair communication, especially in the field of art, is extremely rare. Lawrence must live up to your expectations."

Although he was a performer, Lawrence's speech was completely from the heart. As a bard, he had undoubtedly been to the kingdom of elves, and he had even received some preferential treatment far beyond that of ordinary mages.

But the preferential treatment of the elves is not equal to him, it is more like a condescending charity, as if deliberately promoting a human artist who has worked hard to learn elves to prove how great elf art is!
Although he was very dissatisfied, Lawrence did not deny that he was indeed influenced by the elves too much.

It wasn't until he came to Daxialing and saw the vibrant life of ordinary people that was completely different from other places, that he realized where the artistic outlet he had been thinking about was!
This is also the main reason why he agreed to stay in the Great Xia Territory.

Those bards who came to the Great Xia Territory with him, although they are still staying in the Great Xia Territory, those people still regard themselves as passers-by, and they will leave immediately when the temporary original emotion aroused in their hearts dissipates , go to the next place to continue the search.

But now Lawrence already knew that the occasional touch by the outside world would not lead him to the real palace of art, but would devour his true emotions as a human being little by little, and become a slave to emotions.

Now he has found the true source of the original emotion, not from the outside world, but from the truest heart.

But only his heart is empty, and he still needs to have the life he really loves to fill his heart. In this way, the touch keeps emerging, and the real art palace opens the door for him.

Lawrence didn't know how much the lord paid for this fair exchange, but he knew that he must not waste this opportunity.

……

Next, the process of the meeting was handed over to Layton. The content was roughly the same as before, that is, each department reported the work situation in the recent period and dealt with some cross-departmental coordination issues.

This time, Xia Duo was present in person, and the atmosphere was harmonious, and most of the topics were completed in a short while.

After all, this regular meeting is not held once a year, but once every five or six days. In many cases, the regular meeting is used as a place to finalize relevant decisions, rather than discussing and deliberating.
