At the gate of the Lord's mansion, MEG stopped and looked at the magnificent western architecture, his eyes lit up.
The white stone pillars with carved patterns are connected into one piece. The dome buildings with white and gray color are distributed in an orderly way. The two iron gates at the gate are open, and the characters "city Lord's Mansion" are written in the common characters of the main road.
This is Meg's first visit to the city hall. The last time he went to rent the open-air seats in the restaurant, Dix came directly to ask him to sign the contract, so he had to find someone to ask the way first.
"Boss Mai? How did you come to the Lord's residence? Do you have anything to do? " MEG had not entered the gate when a familiar voice came from behind.
McGonagall looked back at the man who came up quickly and said with a smile, "it's Lord DIX. I'm here to handle the handover of a restaurant. I need to go to the Aden square office to go through the formalities."
"Restaurant handover? Is boss Mai ready to open a new branch? " Dix looked at MEG in surprise.
"I'm not ready for that yet. There was a restaurant owner yesterday..." McGonagall shook his head with a smile and told Dix what happened last evening. He was an official of the Department of the city Lord's mansion. If he could help, the handover process of the restaurant would be much simplified.
"I didn't expect that anyone would dare to challenge Mr. Mai's cooking skills. It's really courage." Dix grinned, pointed to the gate of the Lord's mansion and said, "but since you two have signed a duel agreement and there are so many people on the scene to testify, the ownership of that restaurant naturally belongs to boss Mai now. I'll take you in, and the formalities will be completed soon. Boss Mai only needs to pay a part of the handling fee."
"Thank you." McGonagall nodded slightly and followed Dix into the Lord's mansion.
The buildings in the main hall of the city present a symmetrical layout of atrium. There are two-story buildings on both sides. The building on the left has staff and people who come to handle things in and out. In contrast, the building on the right is much quieter.
"On the left is the department dealing with the daily affairs of the chaotic city. It needs to receive many residents and handle many things every day, so it will be busy. On the right is the Department responsible for the location and daily patrol of the chaotic city, so it seems to be quieter, because most of their work is done outside the responsibility of the city master." Dix explained.
"So it is. Which department does Lord Dix belong to?" McGonagall nodded thoughtfully and asked curiously.
"Now I belong to the Secretariat of the city Lord's office. In fact, I am responsible for running errands everywhere." Dix said with a smile.
"This leg, but many people want to run." McGonagall also said with a smile, and reexamined DIX. Although he didn't know much about the administrative structure of the Lord's mansion, it was obvious that this gentleman could not really be just an ordinary runner.
Dix and MEG enter an office with "Aden square office" hanging at the door. There are more than a dozen staff members in the office dressed in the clothes of the Lord of the city. They are busy receiving people who come to work. Among them, the capable middle-aged man who looks like the director of the city. After seeing Dix, he quickly gets up to greet him and says with a smile, "Mr Dix, how are you here?"
"I'm leading the way for Mr. McGonagall. He needs to handle the handover of a restaurant that won in the culinary duel. Lord Reid, please help. The last time the Lord of the city presided over the negotiation between the dragon and the devil, it was held in Mr. McGonagall's restaurant." Dix said with a smile.
"Well, Mr. McGonagall, please take a seat. Our office is dedicated to handling all the affairs of Aden square for every resident. Since you won the restaurant in the duel, have you brought the agreement?" Hearing the flash of surprise in his eyes, lied turned to look at McGonagall and said with a smile.
"Yes, here it is." McGonagall nodded, took out of his arms the agreement with their fingerprints, and handed it to lied.
After reading the agreement carefully, reed was surprised, but he put it away seriously. He looked at MEG and said with a smile, "OK, Mr. McGonagall, you can go back today. Later, we will check the authenticity of the duel and the agreement. Then we will seal up the restaurant and evaluate the value of the restaurant. We will inform you when it is finished, You only need to pay a certain fee to officially own this restaurant. "
"Well, thank you." McGonagall nodded. He didn't expect that the process was so simple. He just had to pay a service charge at the end, but that was just what he wanted. After all, his time was more valuable than the service charge.
"No, just go back and wait for the news." Said lied with a smile.
"I went to headmaster Haider early in the morning to get information. Their steam engine has made new progress. I also need to report the good news to the Lord of the city. Is there anything else Mr. McGonagall needs to do?" Out of the office, Dix looked at MEG and asked.
"There's nothing to deal with. Lord laudix is leading the way." MEG shook his head. He didn't see Heider for some days. He didn't know what new progress had been made in their steam engine. This was a bit urgent news for his plan. After thinking about it for a while, he asked, "by the way, I'm a little curious about the progress of the city Lord's Government in dealing with the incident in the family area of miners in the north of the city? I don't know if it's convenient for Lord Dix to disclose. "
"I almost forgot that Mr. McGonagall was also a witness to this incident and played a crucial role in it. Of course, I can tell you the progress of this incident." Dix shook his head, his face became a little serious, and continued: "the upgrading project funded by the city Lord's government for the families of the miners has been completed, and the living environment of the families of the miners will be greatly improved. At the same time, the city Lord's office checked the pension and funeral money that the miners' families had been embezzled in recent years, and issued them in a unified way, so that all school-age children had the opportunity to become students in the chaotic School Park. All the people involved have been arrested, and they will face the most severe punishment in the law. "
"I believe the city Lord's office will give all the miners' families a just result." McGonagall nodded. This is a good result for those who once lived in the abyss. The city Lord's house has shown enough sincerity.
"The Lord of the city once said that if there were more meddlers like Mr. McGonagall in the world, the chaotic city would be better." Dix looked at MEG and nodded.
"I hope it won't happen again. After all, this is a city of chaos, isn't it?" McGonagall shook his head, said goodbye to Dix, turned and walked out of the Lord's mansion.
"The Lord is right. He is really an interesting man." Dix looked at McGonagall's back with a smile on his face and turned away.
