Chapter 32 From frugality to luxury
When he opened the door and saw Ma Long's eyes together with Chaoyang, he was wearing a washbasin with water and towels on his hands and a coat on his arms.
"Adela, what are you doing?"
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the first thing Ma Long asked was this.
Adella looked around and then placed the basin in front of her: "Master Ma Long, Mayor Kakib and the convoy of Secretary of State Newventry have arrived outside the large wooden door of the orphanage. They seem to be making a special trip to commend Mr. Ma Long for those things you did last night. Mr. Bernard, let me come over and invite Mr. Ma Long to come over and do the work of welcoming and socializing."
"Adela, I hate social engagements, although I understand that such things may increase in the future."
Ma Long muttered, but with a helpless look on his face, he took the clothes and put them on without any resistance, and then let Adela help him tidy up his coat. Unconsciously, Ma Long had become accustomed to the service of Adela, who played the "personal maid".
"Where is Ester? How is he?"
While wearing clothes, Malone remembered the tauren boy Ester again.
"At dawn, he was arranged by Mr. Carnegie and sent to the temple of the Goddess of Earth with some other people who needed priest treatment. Now he should have received proper treatment to wake up from his coma."
Adella was an absolutely competent personal maid. He easily answered Ma Long’s questions, and while speaking, he also sorted out his clothes for Ma Long.
Then, Adella twisted a warm wet towel from the basin placed beside her and handed it to Malone.
"Little Anwei, I just met a few new partners who can play with me. Sheriff Bernard found someone to follow me so don't worry."
"There is a floating boat from the Sky Guard, which is parked over the slums, so when the sky just dawns, many poor people who came to take refuge with you, Master Ma Long, began to return to their homes. I heard that in the second half of last night, the National Defense Forces and the National Police seemed to have basically controlled the situation in the city."
"I heard that many people died in the northwest city, and the rebellious Duriel slaves were basically killed. However, the Duriel slaves also burned three quarters of the Oshana district, and at least two or three thousand citizens living in the Oshana district were in trouble. The White Sand Lake where Secretary of State Newventure held a costume dance was also attacked by the rebellious Duriel slaves. I heard that two famous figures were killed, and it is said that one of them was the old Garvey Reilly, but Miss Evena and Mr. Thors were safe because they both sent people to report their safety..."
When Malone wiped her face with a towel, Adella told her about the situation of several other people who Malone would ask in an orderly manner.
"Adela, you are so considerate. If any man is lucky enough to marry you, he will definitely be so happy every day."
After rubbing the warm hair meridians with her face, Ma Long sincerely exclaimed.
Adella was stunned, then she said anxiously with blushing face and blaming, "Master Ma Long, what are you thinking about? What you need to consider now is to see the mayor and the Secretary of State later, what should you say!"
What should I say when I meet the mayor and the Secretary of State?
Haha, people have come to commend us specifically, what else can we say?
It’s nothing more than...it’s just to thank the country, the government, and the leaders for their clichés.
In short, it is just to cooperate with these two big names to turn this sudden riot into a remarkable political achievement.
Well, to be precise, it should be that Secretary of State Newventry who was probably here to make money on his face to make political achievements. And the mayor of Khakib probably wanted to do everything possible to prevent this chaos that happened during his term of office from causing his career to come to an abrupt end, right?
Ma Long has never been an official, but he has read a lot of novels about official themes.
So Ma Long knew very well that this White Sand City would definitely change to the mayor.
But then again, if the Mayor Khakib and Secretary of State Newventri come together, the relationship between them seems... very subtle?
Forget it, it is useless to continue thinking randomly, and you can immediately "see their words and observe their actions" in person, right?
With this idea, Ma Long walked out of the shed and walked quickly towards the simple large wooden door of the orphanage.
Before he could reach the door, Malone saw Mr. Mayor Kakib and Secretary Newventure, who were accompanied by the old Paladin and Sheriff Bernard, and under the escort of a large Loling Defense Force, walking towards him in the direction he was.
Baisha City Mayor Khakibu and Ma Long had long visited the newspaper. This mayor with good skin care is now full of bloodshot eyes, obviously worried about the follow-up of the Durier slave riot last night.
A little ahead of the mayor was a slightly fat man in a spotless beige dress. Although he was smiling and talking to the old paladin, Sheriff Bernard and others, Ma Long could feel the aura of the superior that he had developed for a long time.
This slightly fat man is undoubtedly the big man from the capital Finico - Minister of Culture of the Republic of Luoling, and Standing Committee Member of the Post-War Coordination and Reconstruction Committee, and Secretary of State Augustine Von Newventrie.
Hey, why didn't you see that old man Delft?
Ma Long, thinking secretly.
While Ma Long was secretly observing the two big figures coming towards him, these two big figures were also secretly observing Ma Long.
A child born in a slum and only fourteen years old, first published nine fairy tales and novels worth ten thousand words and 500 rands in one go, and bought the Book of Ely worth 110,000 rands in public; then donated most of the remaining rewards to charity for war orphans and war veterans; now, on the turbulent night of last night, only this child did not hesitate to rescue nearly 20,000 slum residents with the Book of Ely worth 110,000 rands as bait, and brought these people all the way and properly placed them here. This is a savior-like achievement.
Can these things be done by ordinary half-aged young people?
So, how can such a young man with potential not attract their curious observation gaze?
"Gentlemen, see who came over? I guess this is the pride of White Sand City, our little Palm, right?"
The first thing he spoke was Secretary of State Newventure from the capital. He showed a smile that was extremely friendly to the people - at least, this smile seemed extremely friendly to the people on the surface.
While speaking, the Secretary of State Newventry was just holding the right hand of a short golden nanmu stick, and like a magic trick, there was a thick book that Malone was very familiar with... "Book of Ellie".
"Our little Pallon, this book should belong to you, right?"
