Chapter 364 Afternoon and Office

It was quiet and comfortable in the afternoon.

The height of the expanded city hall has reached six floors. This large office building made of a lot of stone can be seen from the street from a long distance. The stone building, about 25 meters high, seems to be coated with a layer of golden feathers in the sun.

Ji Lin's office is on the fifth floor, which is the highest floor of the office area. The space above the fifth floor is reserved for the lords to freely configure.

Above that is Ji Lin's residence and the temporary living area of ​​others, equipped with bathrooms, kitchens and living areas of temporary residences.

"Eh? What did you say?! Isn't that guy here?"

Miss Elf looked at the white shadow lying on the table among a pile of processed documents. The piled-up documents almost buried her soft light white long hair.

There is only one person working in this small office now.

The temporary supreme administrator, the youngest high-level priest in the Holy City.

She tilted her head and lay on the table, letting the warm sun of the autumn afternoon shine on her delicate and soft priest uniform, quietly enjoying this warm sun with a hint of coolness.

Watching two finger-sized figures created by divine arts fighting on this long table that is large enough for a person to lie down, the two figures made of divine energy were carved to lifelike, waving their light-cast swords to fight.

"Yeah."

Alicia raised her eyes slightly, looking at the somewhat restrained elf with amber eyes, with a flash of panic when she was caught slacking off.

The high-ranking priest, who seemed to realize that he was a little too lazy, slightly tidied his priest uniform, returning to his previous gentle but somewhat unreachable state.

She seemed to have mistaken Ji Lin for being at work, so she pushed the door open quite casually, and after seeing that only Alicia was sitting in the room, she adjusted her movements almost instantly and became restrained.

Very interesting.

She was not too familiar with Forna, and her relationship was only introduced by Ji Lin. When she was processing government documents, she saw a lot of work content about the elf lady.

Plant cultivation, well, is what elves usually do.

But Forna still has quite a lot of memories of this high-ranking priest from the Holy City, but those memories are not very good... not very good.

She doesn't have a very good impression of various churches.

But Miss Elf's impression of her is still okay! After all, it was not Ji Lin that she saw when she came to the territory office this time. The first sentence this guy said when he met her was hello.

Then he must talk about work within three sentences. Damn, can't he talk about other topics... such as the growth of the world tree that has taken root in the territory.

And this high-ranking priest lady looks much cuter.

"If you are here to find Ji Lin."

Alicia waved at the little man in front of her.

The two little men fighting in front of her saluted her, turned into light spots and dissipated in the air.

"He left the city hall one hour and twenty-four minutes ago and has not returned yet. If you have anything more urgent, please tell me, and if possible, I will help you solve it first."

He gave me the power of attorney, so if it is not too troublesome, I can also help you solve it.

And I have no way to determine when he will come back.

"Is that so? I still have to find him before I can do what I want..."

Miss Elf touched her cheek embarrassedly, and wanted to find a place to sit in the office, ready to wait for Ji Lin to come back from outside, only in this way can she find that guy accurately.

He can't even come back to his own office!

Right!

So waiting for Ji Lin in the office must be the safest. She has already come out once, and she doesn't want to run out of the World Tree again.

Very tired.

"You can sit on any chair here, but I'm not sure when he will come back."

Alicia sat in her seat, her fingertips gently outlined on the table, and the faceless humanoid entity cast by light appeared behind her.

They saluted slightly to the high-level priest.

This office belonging to Ji Lin seemed to have become her home court. Her temperament was not always so soft and lazy in front of Ji Lin.

"Would you like something to drink or eat? Here are some tea leaves imported from the Holy City, sugar, milk, and some snacks."

The territory does not produce tea, so tea can only be imported from outside... The tender leaves of the World Tree are considered rare materials, not tea.

She asked the caravan for the tea leaves, and when keeping accounts, she told the caravan to record it as official expenses. As a high-level priest, she has the power to mobilize resources slightly.

"Ah, a cup with milk."

The light-cast figure walked to the glass cabinet on one side where food and tea sets were kept, took out the soft bone china cup and tea tray and placed them on the coffee table on the side.

Heat it, put in the tea leaves, and pour out the tea.

"Um, won't I disturb your work here?"

Forna looked at the priest sitting in a pile of documents and files, and asked a little stiffly.

"I have finished my work, and there are only so many documents and files today."

Alicia blinked, took the tea tray handed to her by the light-cast servant, and placed one of them in front of Forna.

"Don't be fooled by the pile of documents, most of them are just accompanying documents, detailed forms and plans for application and resource allocation."

The only thing that really needs her or Ji Lin to deal with is the file clipped at the end of the file.

Miss Elf nodded, not quite understanding, and took a sip from the cup. The rich milk aroma rolled up the refreshing sweetness and fell on the tip of her tongue.

The tea leaves were soaked in the water, exuding a faint tea aroma and bitterness. The sweetness of the fresh dairy products neutralized the bitterness.

It tastes good.

Miss Elf silently praised the light-cast servant in her heart.

"If you sit here and wait for him, does that mean that Miss Forna will have free time in the future?"

Alicia stared at Forna's face, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Well, I will have free time in the future."

Miss Elf nodded to confirm Alicia's guess.

"Then, let's go out for a walk."

"Hmm?!"

Miss Elf shook her ears and looked at the high-level priest who walked to her side with a hint of joy in her tone.

I wondered if I had heard something wrong.

"Because, it's boring here."

Alicia stretched out her fingertips to count Ji Lin's crimes. During this period, she often left herself alone in the office to work, and only at night could she spare some time to accompany her.

She was not familiar with the territory, but if there was such a tour guide... maybe she could go out and see more.

Everything outside the Holy City was new to her. This vibrant and prosperous territory... There were always large groups of seabirds taking off and landing on the coastline, forests and fields in the distance, and prosperous farmland beside the rushing river.

The Holy City has not changed for thousands of years, but she felt something deeper in Ji Lin, the kind of hope for change and beauty from the heart.

She liked to stay with Ji Lin, he always brought her stories.

Maybe there was a little love.

Reports from various departments of the territory were delivered to her, but she could not outline a scene from these detailed data.

She wanted to go and see.

Of course, there must be a more formal reason.

She said softly.

"It's not even three o'clock now. Instead of waiting for him here, why don't we go out and find him together? I've already finished my work here."
