Vol 3 Chapter 179: Archon

After Karp left, the door opened slightly, but it was closed again.
After doing this several times, the door of the reception room was slammed open.
A figure strode to Horn and sat down directly.
The visitor was Garfield who rightly rejected Horn in prison yesterday!
Thinking about it now, his heart was still very hesitating, his reaction outside the door Horn was clear.
But Horn didn't pierce it. His being able to come meant he had made the decision he should make.
"You are about to take power alone, how are you feeling now?" Horn skillfully handed the tea over, with a gentle smile on his face, as if Garfield did not refuse him yesterday.
"No matter how powerful you are, you can't give me that much power. To put it bluntly, you are just the steward of your magic house."
Garfield laughed mockingly.
When in prison, he thought he was a steadfast and unyielding person.
He also made a decision in his heart, no matter what Horn said or did, he would fight Horn to the end.
He wanted to prove that even though he accepted bribes and often made small moves, he was still loyal to the city lord and Boulder City. He had his own principles.
That's what he thought at the beginning.
But when Horn took out the position of consul and placed it in front of him, he succumbed to this position after thinking about it overnight.
He hadn't thought of giving in so simply and neatly.
His principles are worthless under the temptation of this position!
"Then I'll find someone else to do the Archon, you still be your southeast sheriff?" Horne looked at Garfield jokingly.
"No, no, it feels good to be in power alone, I like it very much."
Garfield's serious face collapsed suddenly, and he waved at Horn again and again. He was just complaining, but he didn't want to be that little official anymore.
Although he has not yet figured out what kind of power the consul has, at least it is an official who manages the entire city.
He has no resistance to this kind of position.
Because of his lack of strength, his previous job as a sheriff was already at the limit, and no one would let him hold a higher position except Horn!
Seeing Garfield's reaction, Horn chuckled lightly.
In this way, the post of Boulder City Sheriff has a place.
When Horn defeated Keno, he thought about the future of Boulder City for a long time, because it was so sudden that many things were not arranged before starting the action.
First of all, although Boulder City has belonged to the House of Magic, Horn definitely does not agree with the Magic Council to directly manage the city.
There is no talent in the Magic Council who is suitable for managing a city.
And a lot of chores when managing a city will make a lot of excellent magicians become mediocre.
It can also make the magician fall into the vortex of fighting for power.
That's not what Horne wants to see.
So it is inevitable to find someone else to manage Boulder City.
This person cannot be too strong. Too strong can easily lose control and produce ambition. It is better to have experience in managing cities and be under their control.
So Horn thought of Garfield easily.
This guy accepts bribes and likes to do some small tricks, but he has to admit that he is a good hand in governing the city.
His achievements in the Southeast District are the best evidence.
Although this kind of achievement may be set off by peers, Garfield's ability cannot be ignored.
When Keno managed the city, Garfield could only stop at the sheriff because of his strength, while Horn was willing to give him more room for development.
After all, the one condition Horne was least optimistic about when choosing a consul was strength.
"Although I promised this consul, I still don't know what my main duties are. Can you explain it to me?"
Garfield has now brought himself into the role of consul, so he began to inquire about his authority to prepare for future work.
"Of course, I came here for this purpose.
The power I give you is very large, so I need you to use it carefully.
In the current Boulder City, the council will not interfere too much with your management of the city, but you must complete it unconditionally when the council needs it. "
Garfield nodded lightly, he knew very well that he was a steward of the Magic Council.
"Then you can freely recruit your team from Boulder City. If you can persuade the former City Lord Keno in the prison, you can do it.
Of course it cannot be a diehard Keno.
You have the right to appoint and remove low-level officials, but city-level officials must be reviewed by the council before you can be appointed. "
Garfield nodded solemnly, which gave him great power.
"Next is your policy for governing the city. The orders you issue are valid unless they conflict with the orders of the Magic Council.
My request to you is to develop the economy of Spark City in an all-round way, and to improve the economic and culture of all residents in the entire city.
In terms of military affairs, you only need enough to maintain the security of the city, and the military will be resolved by the Magic Council.
Remember, your term of office is only four years. If you fail to meet my requirements after four years, or the people of Boulder are not satisfied, you may be replaced. "
Garfield was taken aback for a moment, so he couldn't do anything to be lazy.
After sending Garfield away, Horne worked another day before he could see all the people he should have seen.
The first is the mayors of the seven surrounding towns.
The seven mayors came to Boulder City as soon as they heard that Keno City Lord had been killed and went to Horn.
The mayor is generally the most respected or powerful person in the entire town, and is generally not appointed by the mayor.
The rules for the change of the lord of Gods Abandoned Land still apply at the level of the town~EbookFREE.me~ As long as you can hold this position firmly, then this position is yours.
As long as the tax can be guaranteed, the city owner will generally not interfere in the village.
Although these towns can develop well without the supervision, Horn will not let these towns play freely. Although he will not directly change the mayors, these mayors must follow Horn's rules.
Otherwise, they would no longer need to be the mayor.
Most city owners don't care about the town because they only want to hold the position of the city owner, and in their opinion, the poor villages and towns have no value for attention.
But Horn's vision is even more ambitious.
Within the jurisdiction of Boulder City, more than two-thirds of the population are in these seven towns and their villages.
These populations are also precious resources, so Horn cannot let them develop freely.
After meeting the mayors, Horn will also meet the leaders of the major forces in Boulder City.
They played a pivotal role in this battle, so Horn had to connect with them and fulfill the promise Ian had promised.
In Horn's eyes, their request was not excessive, it was just that Keno had treated them too harshly before, so they were dissatisfied and resisted Keno together.
Horn naturally wouldn't make such a low-level mistake, although they had now taken the sovereignty of Boulder City, even if Horn repented, they would not be able to turn a wave.
But doing so will leave hidden dangers for the future Boulder, and it is not Horn's style of doing things.
After finally getting everyone done, Horn let out a long sigh.
Then I’ll wait for tomorrow,
It takes a ceremony to officially take over Boulder City, and Horn is not responsible for anything after this ceremony.
