Chapter 489 Throbbing
The next day, Roland walked into the office humming a tune and found Wendy already waiting in the room.
"What's wrong?" He stepped over the messy books on the floor and poured a cup of tea for the other party.
"Congratulations, there is another witch in the town." She smiled and recounted in detail what had happened in the past few days. "If you need it, I can notify Axia to go to the castle at any time."
The first witch to awaken in her own territory... This was also the first harvest after the public recruitment. Roland couldn't help but feel happier, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, he asked curiously, "Isn't she in the castle now? "
"No, because Nightingale is not here, there is no way to check her identity," Wendy repeated Shujuan's insistence, "We sent her home and paid her first month's salary in advance."
"This is not a bad decision," Roland nodded, "Let her come over in the afternoon to sign the contract."
"Yes..." Wendy responded, looking a little hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong?"
"Aren't you angry...those people's views on you and the Witch Alliance, and..." She was silent for a moment before gritting her teeth and said, "Also, my ability may not be suitable for managing the alliance. Scroll has more experience than me. She treats people well and is mature, so I think it would be better if she manages it.”
"I think you also mentioned these words to Shujuan?" Roland asked with interest, "And she thinks you are the most suitable candidate?"
"Eh?"
"It seems to be true..." He breathed out, "And I feel the same as her. Management skills and methods can be mastered through practice, but your own personality is something difficult to change. Haven't you noticed? Among the witches, the one who is loved by everyone, besides Maisie, is you. Besides, Shujuan is mainly responsible for the work of the Ministry of Education. He will be more and more busy in the future and will not have much time to get along with the new witches. This is also your job. Strengths, so have more confidence in yourself, I’m a pretty good judge of people.”
Without waiting for Wendy's reply, the prince continued, "As for the outsiders' misconceptions about the Witches' Alliance, I was negligent. I never thought about this body... No, my previous reputation could actually spread throughout the Kingdom. He thought for a while and said, "If we want to change this view as soon as possible, in addition to increasing publicity, I think it is better to let the organization operate independently as soon as possible."
"Operating independently?"
"Well, turn it into an independent department like the city hall." Roland has also considered this issue before. Now there are only a dozen witches in the alliance. He can still cope with it. If it expands to hundreds in the future, even Like the holy city of Taquila, which has thousands of witches, it is obviously impossible for them to arrange their work one by one. They need to establish a self-operating functional system to solve the employment arrangements of witches, and they only provide guidance on the use of abilities and the direction of evolution.
After explaining her thoughts to the other party, Wendy hesitated and said, "But there are hundreds of people in the city hall, and we only have a dozen sisters, and most of them have their own affairs... Moreover, this has nothing to do with changing the views of the people in the territory. what is the relationship?"
"Rumors, like fear, come from the unknown. The residents of the town can accept the witches because they have experienced the benefits brought by Nana and Lily up close." Roland smiled, "If ordinary people can join in, Going to the Witches Alliance can not only solve the problem of insufficient manpower in the alliance, but also enable them to have a deeper understanding of this organization. Spontaneous publicity by the public will undoubtedly be more effective in changing outsiders' misunderstandings about witches, and the content of your work, and Your important contribution to the town will also be well known.”
Just like not all scientists are in the Academy of Sciences, trivial matters such as daily chores, administrative reception, and research arrangements require the participation of a large number of ordinary people. If you want witches to be accepted by all people, the most important thing is to understand each other. Putting witches into various industries and letting ordinary people participate in the work of witches are the same.
"I see," Wendy nodded, "This is indeed a good method. But how to determine the candidate?"
"Since it operates independently, of course you have to recruit and select yourself." Roland touched his chin and said, "You can ask Count Speer for advice on this. She should be very knowledgeable about how to build an organization with witches as the core. Okay. But the number of people in the alliance is still small now, so you can recruit assistants or clerical staff to practice your skills first. After the evil month is over, I will also build a new building next to the city hall as a dedicated office space for the alliance."
He still didn't say the last part of the sentence. Since it is the Witch Alliance, it will not be able to only govern the witches of the Western Region or Graycastle in the future. If a framework can be established, it can also play a role in absorbing witch organizations from other kingdoms in the future. The role of rapid integration.
"I understand," Wendy took a deep breath, "If you decide to give this task to me, I will try my best to do it."
…
After Wendy left, Roland continued to pack up the books he had not finished yesterday.
Seeing the pages scattered on the ground, he couldn't help but think of the long, passionate and suffocating kiss yesterday. Whether it was the fragrance in Anna's hair, her watery eyes, or her soft body, he felt a strong impulse. Although she had burned all her clothes in the yard without any worries when they first met, she was not as shaken as she was now.
Perhaps she was still a thin and helpless little girl at that time, but now she has grown into a graceful and charming girl - so many changes have taken place in her in just one year.
Maybe he should be more proactive and respond to her feelings... Just as Roland was thinking, his outstretched hand touched another finger. When he came to his senses, he realized that Nightingale had handed the book to him, "I'll do it. Let me help you.”
"Uh..." Roland suddenly choked. Yesterday, it took Anna only a few breaths from entering the office to hugging her, and he didn't notice whether Nightingale followed her into the room after the dinner.
"Don't worry, I went out immediately last night and didn't stay to cause any trouble." Nightingale rolled her eyes, "I've already guessed that she wouldn't let you down after she hasn't seen you for a long time - she never suppresses herself. Feelings."
"is that so?"
With the help of Nightingale, the books were quickly sorted and put into the cabinets, filling the empty bookcases to the brim.
"Okay..." Roland stuffed the last book into the gap that was finally opened, "Thank you."
"You too, how long are you going to delay? Don't keep her waiting..."
Roland was startled. He turned around, only to find that Nightingale had disappeared, but half of her words still echoed in his ears. Although her voice was extremely low, he was sure that he heard correctly.
"...Don't make me wait too long." (To be continued.)
