Chapter 67: Dedicated Mayor
The Miskatonic University library has three floors, each with a large collection of books and desks.
Dr. Armitage, the curator who manages this library, has a separate office here, located in the southwest corner of the second floor.
Today is 12:00 noon on Wednesday. There are many students who come here to read books and pass the noon time. Looking at the energetic faces of their juniors, this atmosphere is formed by the ancient and chaotic atmosphere of Arkham. a stark contrast.
“This is the last pure land in Arkham City!” Ross sighed and came outside Armitage’s office.
Knocking on the door, a somewhat old voice came from inside: “Come in.”
Ross immediately pushed open the door and went in, just in time to see this old doctor with excellent knowledge and a strong talent in transcendence looking down at a book in his hand.
“Dear Dr. Armitage, it makes me so happy to see you as healthy as ever,” Ross said with a smile.
Armitage’s heart jumped when he heard Ross’s voice, and he slowly raised his head, just in time to see the mayor who was in the limelight and everyone loved walking towards him with a smile on his face.
“Mayor Arkham, why are you here?” Armitage hurriedly stood up and walked out from behind the desk, welcoming him warmly.
Ross stretched out his hand to hold Armitage’s hand and said happily, “Dr. Armitage, you don’t have to. I’m not here as the mayor this time, but as a former student of yours.”
At this time, Armitage was looking at the young mayor again while holding Ross’s hand.
He did look different from before, becoming more sunny and more easy-going.
Through the eyes of this young mayor, he did not see any madness and coldness, let alone chaos and evil. He looked like a handsome, young, bright and easy-going big boy.
Armitage said with a smile: “Even if you are not the mayor, you deserve my respect. During the 20 days you took office, I have been paying attention to the situation in the central area. You are more courageous and executive than your father. Ability, I heard many people speak highly of you after you took office, and the citizens also like you very much.”
Ross was delighted: “To get your affirmation and praise is a recognition of me. To be honest, I was under tremendous pressure when I first took office. You also know that I was so restrained and shy before. On my first day in office, I couldn’t even have a normal conversation with my city manager.”
“But you made it through,” Armitage said. “You’re George’s kid, you have that gritty Arkham belief, and you’re better than your father and grandpa.”
“I am very pleased to see your growth.”
During the conversation, the two sat down.
Armitage asked, “Isn’t it a busy twenty days?”
Ross nodded: “Yeah, Arkham is now in a state of ruin. After the Hand of Chaos and the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce were removed from the central area, many things need to be dealt with. The reconstruction of the slum street has begun, and I have to adjust the government personnel. Expenses, the water house in the North District also needs to be rebuilt, as well as the expansion of the police force, and the public ownership of related industries…”
Listening to Ross ranting about his daily work, as well as the difficulties and tediousness, Armitage has been observing this important monitoring object of himself in detail all the time.
But after hearing this, he didn’t find any problems in Ross, and even found that Ross was more responsible than the previous mayors, and had to take into account the hardships of the poor. From what he said, this young man could be heard. The mayor is involved in all of the work, and can be said to be comprehensive in planning and execution.
He is hands-on with almost any major event, otherwise he would not be able to understand the details.
And from his few sighs, Armitage found that Ross was really doing practical things. He didn’t move the funds confiscated by the Rhodes Guild, but used them all to improve Arkham’s current situation. .
This suddenly made him feel a huge contrast. During this time, he was worried about how crazy this young mayor had become. Even in his imagination, this young man had become a strange and crazy existence. , it’s all just superficial engineering, just like those mayors before it.
But in today’s conversation, he found that this guy has not done anything out of the ordinary for more than 20 days. Judging from the work he said, his work intensity far exceeds that of anyone else. It seems that he really does Serious work is being done to improve this chaotic city.
“Doctor? Dr. Armitage?”
While thinking, Ross’s voice sounded in Armitage’s ear.
Armitage recovered from his stupor and sighed, “It’s really not easy, it’s really hard for you.”
Ross smiled: “The process may be boring and difficult, but when everything is successful, you will get a great sense of achievement and satisfaction. You know, the new government I have formed now has an approval rate of 85% in the people’s survey. This has beaten my great-grandfather’s 78 percent approval rating.”
“When I eat breakfast every day, people greet me with genuine smiles when they see me, and I’m sure they really like me.”
Speaking of this, Ross’s face was full of comfort and satisfaction.
Armitage looked at the details and eyes on Ross’s face. The weird monster that had formed in his heart was completely shattered, and it was filled up by the sunny big boy in front of him.
“Ah! I’m so sorry, I’m here to ask some questions this time, and I’ve turned into complaining to you~www.readwn.com~ Ross smiled and scratched his head and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve been really busy recently. ”
Armitage waved his hand hurriedly and said, “This is not a complaint, it is my honor that you are willing to share your inner thoughts with me, you have made me feel hope and light for the future of Arkham again, I hope you can keep going.”
Ross nodded: “Don’t worry, I will keep working hard for Arkham.”
Armitage nodded with satisfaction and asked, “Do you need any help this time?”
Ross nodded, took out some documents from the document bag and said, “Dr. Armitage, I found some special things when I cleared the remains of the Chaos Hand. The times are very long, and I want you to help me. Let me see.”
Armitage was a little surprised to hear this. He thought that Ross came here this time to seek help and support from his former teachers and students, but he didn’t expect… just to seek knowledge?
He lowered his head and opened the file bag, and when he saw the words and patterns on it, his face gradually became solemn: “Gu Hu?”
