Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

In the lord's mansion roughly halfway up the mountain, Hobert saw the fire on the mountain.

This fire was indeed big enough, turning the Full Moon Lake red, and what was burning seemed to be the sin and unworthiness of this fiefdom.

Hobert estimated that not only the Teutonic Viscount on the other side of the lake could see it, but half of South Colson could also see it.

The bigger the fire, the better the effect!

Then Hobert began to think about his next move, but there was no response from the "Gnosis Society", which forced Hobert to be careful.

For this reason, he took out the "cursed jade" from the "Land of Disorder" that was blessed by the "Mother Tree of Desire". If the "Gnosis Society" wanted to come hard, he wouldn't mind giving them a "blessing" .

At the same time, the lord's power is in his hands, and the next step is to expand his rule.

However, Hobert never found the household registration, population and other documents of the Lord's Mansion. After asking, he found out that there was no custom of household registration in this mountainous area.

Then the next step must be to register the household registration. Only by knowing how many people are in the territory, what is the population distribution, and what is the age ratio, can Hobert carry out the next management. In some future projects, he can always manage the human resources correctly. utilization remains within control.

"Opening" the oil painting, Hobert fell asleep in thought.

…

In the Teutonic Viscount's mansion across the lake, the Teutonic Viscount, who was in his thirties and in his prime, looked at the fire across the lake without saying a word.

Finally, a subordinate who was sweating profusely ran in and reported: "Sir, I have inquired clearly. The new baron from the other side killed the two original lords. It is said that he also killed more than 20 gangsters with his bare hands. This incident The fire was burning the bodies of the gangsters.”

Viscount Teutonic asked: "With bare hands?"

The spy was stunned for a moment before saying, "I found out about this from the new baron's manservant. It may not be consistent with the truth."

The manservant's original words were more exaggerated than "bare hands". What kind of "god's favored one" received the blessing of the earth goddess and killed a gangster with just a spit of spit. The "great lord" begged for mercy, but the lord read out his crime and executed him.

Viscount Teutonic did not continue to care about these details. He looked across the lake and said: "This baron has some tricks. How can this be a fire? He is completely declaring his sovereignty."

Then he smiled: "I hope that when people from the Gnosis Society come to visit, he can still respond appropriately."

Viscount Teutonic said in his heart: But there are only two ways before the baron, one is to get out or lose his life here, the other is to be a dog in the "Gnosis Society".

…

On a mountain dozens of miles away from Jeffrey Town, there was a gorgeous lady standing there, looking at the fire in the distance and smiling: "His name is Hobert, right?"

Behind her, an equally beautiful lady said: "Yes."

"His strength should not be weak. You should talk to him tomorrow and see if you can become his baroness."

"It seems more convenient for us to just kill him."

The elegant lady smiled and said: "I just learned some new news from the outside world two days ago. You can't kill him, and it's best not to kill him. Cooperation is the best."

"yes."

…

Waking up from his sleep, Hobert stared at the roof in a daze for a while, feeling that his life as a baron was so fulfilling, and it was already Saturday in the blink of an eye.

"Closing" the oil painting, Hobert suddenly discovered that the effect of yesterday's fire was beyond Hobert's imagination, and it actually digested nearly one-third of the potion in one fell swoop!

Hobert felt that something was wrong. If the people just recognized his identity as a lord, the potion would not be digested so quickly.

This is a Sequence 6 magic potion! It is difficult to digest in itself.

With doubts in his heart, Hobert still prayed to The Fool first, hoping to make an appointment with the Hanged Man to explore the ruins of the elves tomorrow.

I quickly received a reply from "The Hanged Man": "No problem."

When we came to the front yard, the renovation of the Lord's Mansion had begun. At this time, forty or fifty people were busy in the Lord's Mansion.

Hobert saw surrender and...fear in their eyes!

Yes, that look is undoubtedly fear! Some people were even trembling with fear.

This made Hobert reflect on whether he had exerted too much force yesterday?

But he soon felt that this was also a good thing, as he could establish his own rule as quickly as possible.

While eating breakfast, Hobert suddenly figured out why he digested one-third of the potion so quickly!

Exactly what people fear!

He finally understood the inner meaning of "corruption" and "baron".

First of all, "Baron" has already figured it out before, that is, the people in the fief recognize his status as lord.

This kind of recognition is not a one-time thing. For example, Hobert's punishment of York can make the people recognize their identity as lords, and the fire can make the people recognize their identity as lords again.

Hobert demonstrates the authority of the lord time and time again, and the people recognize his identity as the lord again and again. This is the process of acting.

And "corruption" doesn't just mean "corrupting" the hearts of the people around him. Hobert believes that it is the loyalty shown by the people in the territory to him out of fear. This is the essence of "corruption".

"Baron" is just a title, and "corruption" is just a process. The ultimate goal is to continue to have the people recognize Hobert's status as lord, and to continue to have the people show their loyalty to Hobert, even if it is caused by fear. loyalty.

No matter what the purpose is, whether it is to win people's hearts or make the people fearful, as long as they can show a certain degree of loyalty, it will complete another aspect of playing the role of the lord or the "corrupted baron".

The reason why it is called "Corruption Baron" is because after Sequence 6, you have the ability to "corrode", so you can "corrupt" the hearts of the people around you, making them greedy and dark, and then use their desires to control them and let the attributes... Show enough loyalty, this method is the simplest process.

So the name of the potion is "Corrupted Baron", not "Loyal Baron".

Hobert smiled and sighed: This path is really a "shadow of order", there are so many loopholes even in the name of the potion and the way of digestion.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief. He tried it yesterday and found that he was not the type to "corrupt" others.

Obviously, if Siler is addicted to women, he can achieve the purpose of corrupting the other party's mind, but Hobert still reminded him because he believed that his subordinates should not be perverts. This seemed to be the most basic morality for his subordinates. Require.

After breakfast, Hobert was about to call Philip over and had new instructions.

But Philip came by himself: "Sir, there is a beautiful lady outside the door requesting to meet you."

Since she is a "beautiful lady" she is probably a member of the "Gnosis Society"!

Hobert said: "Invite her in."

After a while, a tall lady, although not gorgeously dressed, but very beautiful, entered the door.

Siel's eyes immediately straightened.

Hobert cleared his throat.

Silton suddenly felt a chill in his crotch, and quickly turned his face away, not daring to look any further.
