Chapter 286 Why do you have to reveal your identity right at the beginning?
Zeus raised his head from the throne, glanced around to make sure there was nothing unusual, then gave a wry smile.
I have been so busy lately that I have to rush even my return.
Castel had a lot of work to do. On the one hand, the affairs were complicated, and on the other hand, the people who had previously shared the government affairs with him were no longer there.
Chloe, who was in charge of scientific research, died. Although her replacement Richard was stronger in biology and medical skills, he did not have the enthusiasm of Chloe in scientific research. He always gave Hughes the feeling of punching in and out for work from nine to five. Although he completed the work assigned to him normally, his efficiency was much lower than Chloe's.
Why are the employees so dissatisfied recently? You are a cultist but still working peacefully. Don't you feel ashamed? On the other hand, Alexi, who was originally in charge of government affairs, is now concentrating on reorganizing the Crusaders. He is now also in charge of the church affairs of the Imperial Truth, which is a very important part, so the government affairs are piled on Zeus.
To make matters worse, Connor, the old butler who was known for his reliability and always did everything silently by Hughes' side, has now disappeared with the airship. Hughes is really heartbroken now. He wants to find someone to handle government affairs on his behalf, but he really can't find anyone! The original civil servants on the island were basically a bunch of good-for-nothings. Although they had been severely reorganized by Zeus and had participated in advanced classes organized on the island, this was the ceiling of their level and they could not be relied upon at all.
On the other hand, civilians who graduate from advanced classes will have no problem doing scientific research or becoming engineers, as they have received education in this direction, but do they want to handle government affairs? It has to be said that there is still a certain threshold. Although these islanders have good learning ability, it is difficult for them to come up directly in a short period of time. You know, Alexei, who has been rolled up all the way, had to receive a long period of elite education, and also studied as Hughes' deputy for a long time before he could be qualified as the chief clerk.
After all, Castel is not an ordinary territory, and the government affairs that need to be taken care of are not just collecting taxes from the people, coordinating projects, tracking progress, personnel allocation, factory capacity allocation, and the implementation of various scientific research projects. These are far beyond what ordinary civil servants need to deal with.
This is really asking too much. What Zeus needs is an all-rounder, which is almost impossible for humans to do.
Wait, humans are not up to the task. Zeus' eyes suddenly lit up. Humans have limited energy, but the banshees are different.
Most Banshees can work in multiple threads simultaneously, such as six hands screwing screws on three production lines at the same time.
It would be a waste to use such talents in production. It would be more suitable for them to handle complicated government affairs.
What's more, Banshees are extremely efficient in communication. Cross-departmental collaboration among humans requires a lot of wrangling, but Banshees can resolve all disputes with just one soul sync. They are almost natural decision-makers.
Zeus had considered letting the banshees interfere in government affairs before, but gave up after careful consideration. After all, banshees are not human beings. At that time, their identities had just been made public and the two sides had not had much contact. Under such circumstances, rashly allowing banshees to hold high positions would easily create a gap between the banshees and humans.
Imagine that one day you suddenly discovered that an alien race that was very different from humans had appeared and was holding high positions. Would you associate it with some conspiracy? Xius felt that he could, and he thought that this kind of thing required a good opportunity.
Now is the opportunity. The banshees have won great reputation for their performance in the war, and the islanders truly regard them as companions. It is most appropriate to let the banshees enter all aspects of the Castel system at this time, so that the banshees can truly integrate into Castel, rather than being objects that people stay away from.
Zeus kept this in mind and will try to assign the banshees to various positions next.
Now that the war is over and there is no need to bring them together specifically to carry out missions, it is time for them to use their strengths.
As for who is the most suitable person to help him share the government affairs, a face quickly emerged in Hughes' mind. On the ice floe, Hughes, a worker with a big hole in his chest, opened his eyes.
He first looked around and confirmed his situation. He found that he was still frozen in the ice and could not move. He could not help but sigh.
I don't know where this body has drifted to. It was still afternoon when I returned, but it's almost dark here. Could it be that it has reached another time zone? High latitudes will also cause it to get dark faster. Yes, this is also very possible. I always feel that the hope of recovering this body is slim. I shouldn't have relied on the fact that this body would not die a second time and casually threw it on the bottom of the sea.
While Zeus was daydreaming, he stretched out his hand to hook the silk thread and connected several people.
As soon as the link was completed, Hughes received a question from the link.
Gwen: "Ah, the call is connected again. Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Gwen. 』
fries:"! ! ! 』
French Fries: "Wow, you're still alive! 』
French Fries: "Uh, I mean, it's great to have you alive, and, uh, it's great to see you again. 』
captain:"."
Scepter: "Miss Gwen, it's nice to see you again. You haven't spoken in the past few months and we thought you had an accident. 』
Several people greeted Gwen happily, happy to have their companion return.
But Hughes couldn't be happy. He just felt the hairs on his body standing up and cold sweat seemed to be running down his back.
Because he could feel that Gwen had just greeted him!
It was an inexplicable feeling that was almost intuitive, as if there was also a silk thread on the other side, gently pulling and tugging at Zeus's finger on the other side.
She, can she sense my presence? How is this possible? She is just a mortal, a little girl. Even a transcendent like Beatrice only doubts the link itself and has never discovered the existence of Zeus, the person behind the scenes who is connecting them.
Hughes was so confused for a moment that he didn't respond to Gwen's greeting.
But several other people in the link noticed it.
Captain: "When you said it was our first meeting, did you sense that a new person had joined the link? 』
French Fries: "Oh yeah, why is it our first meeting and there's a new person coming? 』
Gwen: "I'm not too sure about this. When the connection was established just now, I seemed to sense a presence, a presence I had never encountered before, and I greeted the other party. 』
fries:"! ! ! 』
Scepter: "Can you still sense that existence now? Maybe a newcomer, maybe.』
French Fries: "Maybe what? 』
Gwen: "I, I'm not sure either. I just had a vague sense of it. 』
The corner of Zeus' eye twitched. Beatrice was a little too perceptive. He had to find a way to fool her.
Or just bring in a new person? (End of this chapter)
