Chapter 136: Faintly, Abruptly (6)

The mornings at Dowon had been all the time noisy.

This was as a result of its the time when the work that had collected in a single day started to be distributed to every department, making it busier.

Is that this sufficient for the order of products from outdoors?

Sure, please go forward with this.

They regulated the amount of products coming in from outdoors, managed every part from taxes to land and labor, and even addressed complaints from varied martial arts sects.

From the workplace window, observing the wrinkled faces of the tree folks heading to work, one may glean one thing.

That the work right here was uniquely difficult and demanding.

This was as a result of the constructing the place the work wanted to be completed was situated on the very prime of Dowon, forcing one to climb the mountain proper after waking up early within the morning, which was additionally a standard criticism.

Sigh.

And all of the work occurring in Dowon.

A girl named Hongyeon had been the only real individual in cost, bearing it on their lonesome till now.

-Thud.

The door closed, and Hongyeon leaned over her desk.

On her desk, there was a nameplate that learn Sect Chief.

Sect Chief my ass

The chief of the demon sect, solely flashy on the surface.

Prior to now, being a Sect Chief was stated to be a place the place one may dwell loudly and comfortably, however at the least in Dowon, that saying didnt apply.

Even Hongyeon was so overworked that she didnt have a second to spare.

Its exhausting.

Truthfully, shes drained now.

It appeared like she felt this far more nowadays due to her damage.

That insolent man It could be good if he was alright since he began working anyway.

The second successor.

A person recognized each as a Blood Demon and a Younger Demon.

Rubbing her as soon as damaged nostril, Hongyeon frowned.

The extra she thought of that man, the angrier she received, however truthfully, shes determined sufficient to even need to borrow his assist proper now.

In spite of everything, theres an excessive amount of to deal with right here.

There have been varied causes for the overwhelming workload, however essentially, it stemmed from Dowon being excessively conservative.

A society that also couldnt embrace one thing as commonplace as a smartphone.

In such an anachronistic setting, sustaining exchanges with the surface world was difficult, to not point out the extreme consumption of priceless manpower within the course of.

Furthermore, most residents of Dowon lacked fundamental training, rendering them incapable of correctly dealing with duties even after being briefed.

Why cant they even memorize a small e-book, actually?

This situation existed elsewhere, however how rather more so in Dowon, which prided itself on its historical traditions?

The world was evolving over time, but not everybody was on board with such radical modifications.

Efforts to economize by buying factory-made swords had been met with resistance as a result of, historically, coaching swords needed to be handcrafted by artisans.Folloow present novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)

Makes an attempt to introduce magical development instruments had been rebuffed with the declaration that sorcery-like magic was completely forbidden.

Its questionable whether or not the elders realized the amount of cash spent on restoring the buildings their disciples destroyed.

Is there nobody able to working effectively, talking overseas languages, instructing the topics of different households internally, and being trusted with exterior duties?

Hongyeon was searching for such a perfect particular person.

Nonetheless, it appeared unlikely.

-Knock, knock, knock.

Simply then, a knock sounded on the door.

Are available.

-Creeak.

The door opened, and a person stepped inside.

He had distinctive options and hair that appeared trendy regardless of its disarray.

Upon seeing him, Hongyeon thought, as she did upon their first assembly, that he was naturally suited to enterprise.

Have you ever memorized every part I advised you yesterday?

Upon seeing the person, Hongyeon instantly inquired concerning the project she had given him the day earlier than.

In actuality, memorizing all that data in simply sooner or later was practically inconceivable.

Usually, it could take a few week of intensive instruction for the common individual to be able to performing their job.

Nonetheless, assigning him the duty was partly to check his diligence.

I memorized it.

The phrases tumbled from the mans mouth.

In fact, it could be Wait, what?

Caught off guard by the surprising reply, Hongyeon couldnt conceal her astonishment.

I memorized it. Its not excellent, although.

Are you bluffing proper now?

Seeing his critical demeanor, she believed he wasnt mendacity, but it surely hardly mattered.

How would I do know?

Ive solely been right here lower than a month. I assume Unwell be taught by doing.

Figuring out the fundamentals was one factor, however having and missing that data are qualitatively completely different.

The rationale he had me be taught this stuff wasnt to work on this discipline however as a type of coaching to broaden my perspective.

[Thats right.]

Abruptly, the World Tree of Time spoke to me.

Youre right here now?

[It does take some time, and it uses a lot of magic. Seeing the connection break every time I train It seems I need to take in a lot more magic.]

Go forward. My magic has been rising these days, so it needs to be okay.

[Thank you. But, did you also know about such fields of knowledge?]

I didnt know intimately.

Whats essential for a politician was not dealing with taxes however mastering the artwork of survival within the political area.

But, data all the time turns into a persons’ energy.

Certainly, the way in which Hongyeon checked out me had modified considerably from earlier than.

Proper It appears theres a mountain of issues to repair right here, simply as you stated. However there are too many issues. The elders intervene with every part and solely say no The Heavenly Demon just isn’t making an attempt to get entangled on this situation. Thats why its tougher.

With out the Heavenly Demon, who was nearly an absolute monarch, shifting, how may reforming the system be simple?

Hongyeon sighed as she recalled the fact, then abruptly checked out me curiously.

However why are you abruptly making an attempt to assist us?

Hongyeons tone, which had initially warned me to not intervene, had modified.

Youre known as the Younger Demon, however youre not the primary successor. Have been you making an attempt to win my favor?

If that had been the case, would I’ve overwhelmed you up so badly?

Startled, Hongyeon bit her lip and was puzzled.

Im inquisitive about Dowon, and properly, if issues go properly, itd be good for Baekdo and Hwangdo.

Are you speaking concerning the kids of the Heavenly Demon?

Yeah.

I overlooked Cheondos story. It gave the impression to be a secret from her that Cheondo was the precise Younger Demon.

Why these children?

Why so many questions?

Sorry.

Its nothing massive. I simply occurred to satisfy them and thought itd be good in the event that they grew up properly.

Its a spot I’d be leaving.

Even when my traces may faintly stay, I wished to completely deal with every part my fingers handed over. Who is aware of, perhaps my actions may stop Dowons future downfall.

[That wont happen.]

The World Tree chimed in on my ideas.

Simply in case. Simply in case.

[Hope knows but]

How lengthy may I really keep on this world?

[In terms of real-world time, not long, but in this worlds terms, about three months.]

Three months. Its each lengthy and brief.

However its sufficient time to go away my mark.

Do you hope they develop up properly? Is that every one?

Then what, you need me to smash every part?

No, um, sorry. I should have misunderstood you.

If she misunderstood, meaning she had been pondering that approach earlier than. This lady.

Hongyeon awkwardly glanced at me then bowed her head.

It was a markedly completely different demeanor from after we first met.

Anyway, now that Ive taught you every part. If in case you have questions later, reply them properly. Im inquisitive about loads of issues.

If its about administration, Unwell assist as a lot as I can.

For the primary time since assembly me, Hongyeon confirmed a glad expression.

Win-win. Would that be the suitable time period?

Now that I knew the previous wouldnt change, theres nothing to cover or fear about.

Whether or not I made enemies or elevated allies, I simply wanted to do what advantages me.

However for this place the place Cheondo, Baekdo, and Hwangdo had been, I hoped it could fare a bit of higher.

Even when Dowon disappeared sooner or later, I hoped it could stay of their recollections as a cheerful homeland over time.

This was their cradle.

I hoped its a spot that may convey a smile to their faces each time they consider it.

If the three of them are comfortable, I’m too.

So.

I deliberate to do every part I may.
