Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 2069 Hmm? Transcendent Realm?!

Both mental and physical labor have their own painful aspects.

However, compared to physical labor, Morton at least has some advantage in mental labor.

Although Morton hasn't fully matured yet, he can still handle some simple documents.

In fact, as a newcomer, he performed quite well.

After starting to process the files, they quickly got into the zone.

Although Morton's understanding of the national conditions of their Great Zhou is still very limited at this stage, which has led to his less-than-appropriate handling of some issues.

However, experience in this area must be accumulated gradually. In addition, the documents processed by these secretaries must be reviewed by Li Bowen, the secretary-general, before being assigned to any other department. This ensures that nothing goes wrong.

From Li Bowen's perspective, he was very satisfied with Morton's performance, and recently he has often personally taken Morton out for fieldwork.

Anyone in the secretary's office could see that his talent was valued and he was being given special attention and training.

Although fieldwork is tiring, Morton generally enjoys it.

It feels like taking a break halfway through work.

Although in reality there was no time for him to wander around aimlessly...

When dealing with many matters, the relevant departments of their Great Zhou Dynasty always prioritize on-site investigation.

"His Majesty once said that if you want to handle something well, you must first understand it. If you don't even understand it, what are you going to handle?"

After several days of fieldwork, Morton felt a growing admiration for Zhou Xu as he listened to Li Bowen's words.

As Morton continued to run fieldwork, his understanding of many industries in their Great Zhou gradually deepened, which made him more adept at handling related documents.

During this period, the number of times Li Bowen called him over to point out problems also decreased.

This made Morton feel like he was getting into the swing of things, and he estimated that it wouldn't be long before he could catch up with his colleagues in the office in terms of work efficiency.

Having already taken on the job, Morton does have a bit of a competitive spirit; after all, considering his age, he's still quite young for an elf.

However, he soon discovered that things were not so simple.

Even when he put in his best effort, the secretaries in the office who were also responsible for handling documents still far surpassed him in overall work efficiency.

This caused Morton to begin to doubt himself.

Don't let this kid's seemingly lazy and unambitious demeanor fool you; deep down, he has a certain arrogance. He's smart enough to know that himself.

Despite having been a couch potato for so long, sometimes when faced with tasks he has to do himself, he wants to run away.

But to some extent, he was also a bit arrogant, believing that as long as he got serious, there was nothing he couldn't handle.

This is a very contradictory state of mind.

Although he was tricked by Zhou Xu, coming to work in Black Moon City was also his own decision.

This is a very important step for Morton; it's a step out of his comfort zone!
Saying goodbye to his past self, after reporting to the secretary's office, even if it's just to live a better life in the capital, he has to demonstrate his abilities and surpass his colleagues.

That was pretty much Morton's original plan.

However, what kind of mediocre person would be qualified to be recruited into the secretary's office?
You should know that the secretaries in the secretariat office and the assistants in the Diligent Governance Hall are the reserve officers for the governors, district heads, and mayors of the Great Zhou region!

Many of them may not have the same potential as Morton.

However, they have more work experience than Morton, and they also have a better understanding of the national conditions of the Great Zhou.

Morton, a newcomer, wants to surpass them in a short time?
That was more of a joke with them.

From their perspective, Morton's reaction to this incident was seen as a sign of disrespect towards them. However, Morton himself was clearly not that foolish. As an elf who had just arrived in Blackmoon City and managed to integrate seamlessly with the local organization members, thriving in the community, his emotional intelligence couldn't be low.

He was well aware that his idea was wrong, and even if that was what he thought, he certainly couldn't reveal it.

However, in the days that followed, perhaps his competitive spirit was aroused, he began to work even harder.

By the time Zhou Xu brought Bogner back to Blackmoon City, it was already late winter, and the journey had unexpectedly delayed them considerably.

Upon returning to Blackmoon City, Zhou Xu's first action was to take Bogner to the camp of the fire mage corps.

“This is Gilter.”

“Gilter, this is Bogner.”

Zhou Xu quickly introduced their identities.

During this time, Bogner's attention was also completely focused on Geerte.

In terms of age, Geerte is more than 500 years younger than Bogner, but in terms of appearance, Bogner looks much younger.

Geert's difficult early life made him look older than his actual age.

After joining the Great Zhou, his life improved, and he also received the blessing of Zhou Xu's talent. However, he couldn't shake off the old age vibe. In addition, his personality was also mature. At first glance, he was a complete middle-aged man.

In contrast, the over 600-year-old Borgner resembled a refined nobleman.

From the story of the Rakshasa district, Bogner learned about Geerte's past, and while he felt sympathy for his tragic past, he also felt a bit of admiration for him.

[However, one thing is one thing, I have no intention of letting a Transcendent Realm expert... Huh? Transcendent Realm?!]

Looking at Geerte standing there, Bogner suddenly sensed something was wrong.

Before he could think any further, Zhou Xu's voice rang out from beside him.

"Not bad. In the short time I was out, you actually broke through and are now a Saint-level mage. This is a bit beyond my expectations."

Zhou Xu had previously told Wright that he expected Gilter to break through before he turned 150, and that was indeed what he thought.

But to his surprise, Gillespie gave him a pleasant surprise.

However, upon closer reflection, Zhou Xu wasn't entirely without a clue.

With his 'Fire Element Affinity' talent, coupled with his four-star Intelligence and Spirit stats, Geert's potential is definitely sufficient.

Under this premise, all the fire-based mantra spells that Gilt learned came from Zhou Xu.

Zhou Xu had already thoroughly studied his fire-based mantra spells.

When instructing the talented and promising Gilter, he naturally shared his own experience generously, giving him his all.

There's no need to elaborate on how valuable the experience of a Nascent Soul stage mage is; it's enough to make Gilter's cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.

From this perspective, Geerter's breakthrough was not unexpected.

Having already been happy about this, Geert, who had now completely calmed down, appeared completely composed.

"This is all thanks to Your Majesty's guidance."

"Hahaha, you have to be hardworking and smart enough yourself."

Faced with the two men who had suddenly started praising each other, Borgner stood there dumbfounded, unsure of what to say...
