Create the Age of Magic

After Garp left, the door opened slightly, but was closed again.

After repeating this several times, the door of the reception room was slammed open.

A figure strode up to Horn and sat down directly.

The person who came was Garfield who rejected Horn in prison yesterday!

Thinking about it now, he was still very hesitant in his heart, and Horn could clearly perceive his reaction outside the door.

But Horn did not poke it. His presence meant that he had already made the decision he should make.

"You're about to take over the power alone, how do you feel now?" Horn skillfully handed over the tea with a gentle smile on his face, just like Garfield didn't refuse him yesterday.

"It's impossible for you to give me so much power. To put it bluntly, it's just the steward of your magic house."

Garfield smiled self-deprecatingly.

When he was in prison, he thought he was a steadfast and unyielding person.

He also made a decision in his heart that no matter what Horn said or did, he would fight Horn to the end.

He wanted to prove that although he accepted bribes and often made some small moves, he was still loyal to the city lord and Boulder City, and he still 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 gave in before this position after thinking about it overnight.

He surrendered so simply and neatly, he didn't even think of it.

His principles are worthless under the temptation of this position!

"Then I'll find someone else to be the consul, and you're still going to be your southeast district sheriff?" Horn looked at Garfield jokingly and said.

"No, no, it feels great to be in power alone, I like it very much."

Garfield's serious face suddenly collapsed, and he waved at Horn again and again. He was just complaining, and he didn't want to be that petty official anymore.

Although he has not yet figured out what kind of power the consul has, at least he is a high official who manages the entire city.

He has absolutely no resistance to such a position.

Because of his lack of strength, it was already the limit to be a sheriff before, and no one except Horn would let him hold a more senior position!

Seeing Garfield's reaction, Horn chuckled lightly.

In this way, the position of Sheriff of Boulder City will be settled.

When Horn defeated Keno, he thought about the future of Boulder City for a long time, because things were so sudden that many things were not arranged before starting to act.

First of all, although Boulder City has already belonged to the House of Magic, Horn absolutely disagrees with the Magic Council directly managing the city.

There are no talents suitable for managing a city in the magic council.

And the sheer amount of chores involved in running a city can make a lot of great magicians mediocre.

It may also plunge the magician into a vortex of power struggle.

That's not what Horn wants to see.

So it is inevitable to find another person to manage Boulder City.

This person's strength should not be too strong, too strong will easily lose control and cause ambition, and it is best to have experience in managing cities and be under their control.

So Horn easily thought of Garfield.

This guy takes bribes and likes to do some small things, but he has to admit that he is a good hand at running the city.

His achievements in the Southeast Division are the best evidence.

Of course, this kind of achievement may be set off by peers, but Garfield's ability cannot be ignored.

When Keno was managing the city, Garfield could only stop at the sheriff because of his strength, but Horn was willing to give him more room for development.

After all, when Horn chose the consul, one of the conditions he was least optimistic about was strength.

"Although I promised to be the consul, I still don't know what my main duties are. Can you explain to me?"

Garfield had now brought himself into the role of consul, so he began to inquire about the authority and prepare for the future work.

"Of course, that's why I came here this time.

The power I give you is very great, 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 when the council needs it, you must complete it unconditionally. "

Garfield nodded slightly, he knew very well that he was the butler of the Magic Council.

"Then you are free to recruit your team members from Boulder City. You can persuade the former Lord Jino's subordinates in the prison if you can persuade them to do so.

Certainly not a die-hard Kino loyalist.

You have the right to appoint and remove low-level officials, but officials at the city level must be approved by the council before you can appoint them. "

Garfield nodded solemnly, this gave him great power.

"The next step is your policy for governing the city. Unless the orders you issue conflict with the orders of the Magic Council, they are all valid.

My request to you is to develop the economy of Starfire City in an all-round way and improve the economy and culture of all residents in the entire city.

In terms of military, you only need to maintain the law and order of the city. In terms of force, the Magic Council will solve the problem.

Remember, your term is only four years. If you fail to meet my requirements after four years, or the people of Boulder City are not satisfied, you may be replaced. "

Garfield was slightly taken aback, so he had no choice but to be lazy.

After sending Garfield away, Horn worked hard for another day before finally seeing all the people he should see.

The first is the mayors of the seven surrounding towns.

The seven mayors immediately came to Boulder City to defect to Horn after hearing that the city lord of Jino had been killed.

The mayor is generally the most respected or powerful person in the entire town, and generally speaking, he is not appointed by the city lord.

The rules for changing the city lord of Land Abandoned by God still apply at the town level. As long as you can secure this position, then this position is yours.

As long as taxes can be guaranteed, the city lord will generally not interfere with the villages and towns.

Although these towns can develop very well without anyone in charge, Horn will not let these towns develop freely. Although he will not directly replace the mayors, these mayors must follow Horn's rules.

Otherwise, there is no need for them to be the mayor of this town anymore.

Most of the city owners don't care about the town because they just want to secure the position of the city owner, and in their opinion, those poor villages and towns have no value of attention.

But Horn has bigger goals.

Within the entire jurisdiction of Boulder City, more than two-thirds of the population are in these seven towns and the villages under their jurisdiction.

These populations are also valuable resources, so Horn cannot let them develop freely.

After meeting the town mayors, Horn will also meet with the leaders of the major forces in Boulder City.

They played a pivotal role in this battle, so Horn wanted to get in touch with them and fulfill the promise that Yi'an had made before.

In Horn's view, their demands were not too much, it was just that Kino had treated them too harshly before, which made them dissatisfied and resisted Kino together.

Naturally, Horn would not make such a low-level mistake, although they have now won the sovereignty of Boulder City, even if Horn repented, they would not be able to make any waves.

But doing so would leave a hidden danger for the future of Boulder, and it's not Horn's style of doing things.

After finally getting rid of everyone, Horn let out a long breath.

The next thing is to wait for tomorrow,

Officially taking over Boulder City requires a ceremony, and after this ceremony, Horn is not required to be responsible for anything.

These days, don’t worry about electricity bills. If you have an air conditioner, turn on the air conditioner. If you don’t have an air conditioner, you can blow a fan. If you don’t go to work, at least you can save your life. You can sit and eat watermelon and eat popsicles if you have nothing to do.

Don't hit it! heat! up! Because, for the medical expenses of a day in the hospital, you can turn on the air conditioner at home every day, and it is estimated that it will not be enough for a year. In hot weather, I would rather pay the electricity bill than let my ass get up and get an injection, it hurts! It costs money!
