Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

"Pain Witch" Monica listened to Helen's report, and then asked: "Does Hobert know about this?"

"Already know." Helen said: "When I left, he said to me: There are really many believers in the Gnostic Society."

If it weren't for the smile on Hobert's face at that time, Helen would have thought that he was questioning herself.

Monica asked again: "What else did he say?"

Helen shook her head: "I didn't say anything else."

"It's not a big problem." Monica said seriously: "I think tonight, or tomorrow at the latest, Hobert will draw a bottom line for us, and you must report to me immediately."

"clear."

Watching Helen leave, Monica smiled and said: "What an interesting young man. If I were still young, I would be willing to talk openly with you all night long."

…

Arriving at Forsi near the abandoned church, he saw Helen who was riding back to the Lord's Mansion.

But she was immediately attracted by the scenery in front of her: "I didn't expect Full Moon Lake to be so beautiful! What a pity!"

It's a pity that it's in such a remote place, in such a mountainous area that no one cares about, and it's said that even shipping is inaccessible.

Forsi thought: If the transportation is convenient, this place will definitely be a popular scenic spot.

After admiring the scenery, we came to the church again.

The maid began to tell Forsi about the previous story of the Lord killing two "lords", but Forsi, who was learning Fenebote language, could only understand a general outline.

Fortunately, she could only understand a general outline. If she heard a story that had been "re-created" several times, it would definitely make her laugh until her stomach hurts.

Near the church, you can see the whole of Hobert's territory. It is said that half of Full Moon Lake belongs to Hobert, as well as so much fertile land by the lake, a small town that seems to be of some size, and this relatively gentle town. The small mountain range and the valley on the other side of the mountain.

Forsi took a deep breath: I am the mistress of this land, uh, the nominal mistress. No wonder Hobert is so concerned about things in the territory. After I saw this territory, I had the urge to build it up.

At the dinner table in the evening, Helen seemed very honest, almost only echoing what Hobert and Forsi were talking about.

This made Forsi wary and a little abnormal.

It was not until the end of the dinner that Hobert said to Helen: "I really didn't expect that nearly a quarter of the people in this town are actually your believers."

Helen became serious, but in her heart she admired Ms. Monica, who had anticipated this in the morning.

Hobert added: "I only have four requests. First, I heard that there are some extremists in the Gnosis Society who believe that the body is a prison for the spirit and aim to destroy other people's bodies. Such extremes cannot appear in my territory. molecular.

“Secondly, stupid blood sacrifices cannot be performed.

“Third, you cannot force others to believe in religion.

“Fourth, believers cannot be organized to fight against the lord’s mansion.

"If I find that you have violated any of this, then I'm sorry, but you will become my enemy.

"Don't question my determination, nor my, or my family's, strength."

Helen couldn't believe it after hearing this: "Sir, what is your belief?"

You must know that the "Gnosis Society" is a secret organization that has long been blacklisted by the Zhengshen Church. If someone else goes to the church to inform, Helen is not worried.

However, with the determination and behavior shown by Hobert, he was obviously not an ordinary nobleman. Helen was very worried that Hobert, who had some influence in Feneport City, would inform the higher-ups of the Mother Earth Church about everything here.

At that time, people from the church may send people to investigate and surround and suppress the believers here.

(Helen didn’t know that it was easy for the Extraordinaries of the “cultivator” path to lose control.)

Helen originally thought that this might be an irreconcilable conflict between the two parties.

But the four requirements Hobert mentioned just now seem to express the same meaning: maintain the status quo.

Hobert smiled: "Of course it is the Mother Goddess of the Earth, haven't you heard of it? I am the favored one of the Mother Goddess!"

Helen was a little dumbfounded: "Then, then how do you..."

Since you are a believer in the Orthodox Church, why are you so tolerant of heretics, or simply, heretics in the eyes of the Orthodox Church?

Hobert continued to smile: "You can also tell your boss exactly what I said next:

"For me, faith is just a tool that can strengthen the strength of my rule. As long as it does not harm the spirit and body of my subjects, and as long as it does not undermine my rule, I can accept it in theory."

Helen found that she was completely attracted to Hobert at this moment. She must admit that this was the most charming and thoughtful man she had ever seen.

It's a pity that this man did not succumb to the power of "charm".

After dinner, Helen rushed to report to Ms. Monica overnight.

After hearing Helen's words, Monica was silent for two or three seconds before saying, "Please help me communicate. I want to meet Baron Hobert."

Helen was slightly startled, but then said: "Yes!"

When she returned to the Lord's Mansion, it was already late at night, and she had to stand in the yard and call Hobert twice.

After Hobert replied impatiently as he was obviously awakened from his sleep, Helen quickly stated her purpose.

There was silence in the room for a second or two before he said: "Ask the lady to come during lunch or dinner tomorrow. I will continue to handle the household registration at other times."

The next day, the household registration statistics at the Lord's Mansion were still going on. The news of the grain distribution by the Lord had spread, and people from some villages spontaneously came to the Lord's Mansion to register.

When they saw the tall and magnificent lord's mansion again, when they saw the lord sitting in the yard, and when they actually received the food, they once again felt that the new lord was coming!

A new order was established in this subtle way.

When Monica arrived at the Lord's Mansion in a carriage and with a servant, the registration work happened to enter the lunch break, and the clerks all went to eat.

Hobert and Forsi greeted him in the yard. Monica looked at Forsi and said, "What a beautiful little girl."

Forsi was slightly startled: This lady looks like she is less than thirty years old... Hobert said that she is a Sequence 5. There may be some potions in the middle Sequence that can make people live longer.

After the food started to be served, Monica smiled and said: "I am very curious about what kind of young people can say such inclusive words."

"These are just some truths." Of course Hobert knew what the other person was referring to: "For me, what I care about most is actually dominance.

"If it is in a big city, the rulers have to take into account the power of the church. They only dare to think so, but they dare not say so."

Monica said: "No, I can feel that you are an inclusive ruler, and you do not treat me as a member of an evil organization."

"Maybe it's because I have a set of governance concepts that they can't imagine." Hobert said: "I think that the 'Witch' can actually have another side. For example, the 'Witch of Pain' is not necessarily for ordinary people. If she brings pain to some villains, isn't she a 'Pain Witch'?"
