Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Hobert lay in bed unable to fall asleep for a long time. The battle just now was too fast and fierce, and the enemy's main force had escaped. It must be a hidden danger in the future.

He recalled the information provided by Harvey Hayden. It should be the "Cold Night Team" that attacked him tonight, and the other two mercenary teams should have arrived as well.

These battle-hardened mercenary teams should all be of the same level. As long as a sneak attack or assassination fails, they will immediately retreat and wait for an opportunity.

In fact, this is not only waiting for new opportunities, but also putting huge psychological pressure on the target, causing the target to consume energy in defense.

Hobert believes that one should take the initiative. Even if the opponent cannot find a place to stay, he should not make the opponent feel too comfortable.

As for the tactical issues facing the subsequent mercenary attacks, Hobert was not worried, because today in order to integrate the "Ocean Pendant" into his own tactics, he did not use the "Wood of Order" from the beginning, nor did he The ability to use the "Psychic Chalice" which consumes a huge amount of spiritual power.

Therefore, Hobert's strength has not been completely exposed. When the "Cold Night Team" attacks him again, they will find that the tactics they have studied for a long time cannot effectively harm Hobert.

After thinking about it, Hobert finally got sleepy.

It was a pity that Forsi finally returned to Backlund, and while Hobert was half asleep and half awake, he sniffed the fragrance left on the quilt and fell asleep.

"Get up!" Forsi returned to the Lord's Mansion early. After living here for a few days, he felt that Backlund was like a hole in the ice.

Hobert yawned and was stunned for a few seconds. It took him a while to come back to his senses. He didn't expect that he would be woken up by the lazy Forsi one day.

He really had to get up early today, so Hobert went back to his room and changed his clothes.

When the winter sun just rose, he took Forsi with him and walked heavily to the Wright family cemetery.

On the way, I met many people who came to attend the funeral. Some of them were residents of the small town, some came here from the village before dawn, and some were not even people from Hobert's territory.

Previously, Philip and others had only hastily buried the Viscount's family. Yesterday, they dug out the bones and reinstalled them in the newly made coffins.

The cemetery was already full of people on the three floors inside and outside, but the scene was relatively solemn. No one made any noise. Everyone watched quietly as the new lord and his wife walked slowly with heavy steps.

When Hobert and Fors arrived, the funeral officially began.

Since there was no bishop or priest from the Church of the Mother Earth, Philip presided over the funeral, and the new lord Hobert gave a speech.

Hobert first expressed his respect for Viscount Wright's family, and then told how difficult it had been for the residents of the territory in the past six years without the protection of the lord.

When talking about this, Hobert choked up several times, which made everyone cry. It was like they had been living in hell for the past six years.

He worked non-stop, but the harvest from the fields was still not enough to pay taxes. He could only use the poultry and fields at home to offset the taxes. As the days went by, he became poorer and poorer.

Helen, who was watching from a distance, didn't know what expression to use to face such a scene. She almost couldn't recognize it. The man with red eyes and two tears left was Hobert?

Helen said in her heart: He definitely has schizophrenia. He was obviously so fierce last night, but he acted so well today, almost like two people!

At this time, Hobert changed the topic and talked about how he avenged Viscount Wright's family, talked about the benevolent government he implemented, and sketched a beautiful blueprint for the future.

Hobert promised: As the successor of Viscount Wright, he will inherit Viscount Wright's virtues, make this territory better, and make people's lives happier. Viscount Wright can rest in peace.

Driven by Hobert's words, the people attending the funeral seemed to see hope and lamented that all the bad luck was over.

After Hobert's speech, the coffins of Viscount Wright's family were carried into the tomb one after another, and finally the tomb was sealed. Everyone laid flowers and observed a few minutes of silence together before the funeral ended.

On the way back to the Lord's Mansion, Hobert felt that everyone's attitude towards him had changed significantly.

From simple fear, now it has become reverence.

Hobert also felt that the potion in his body had been digested a lot again, and more than during the household registration process.

This made him sigh in his heart: "Actually, Viscount Wright was not such a wise lord, otherwise he would not have died so miserably. It's just that the previous six years were too hard, which made everyone have a deep understanding of the days in Viscount Wright's era. He missed him deeply, and Viscount Wright became a wise lord.

"Fortunately, I have the concept of 'inheriting orthodoxy'. I used this funeral to transfer the orthodox governance to me through everyone's memory of Viscount Wright. In this way, both in legal terms and in people's minds, I am the unshakable lord of this territory."

Life will continue to go on, but the people in this territory feel more confident than before, because they are ruled by a new lord and are no longer ruled by a group of unreasonable bandits. Whether it is production or life, Feeling more at ease than before.

Soon, Helen also felt this. She was surprised by the effect of Hobert's two tears. At the same time, she planned to report Hobert's words and deeds to Ms. Monica immediately.

For Helen, who was not very politically literate, this was like using her extraordinary ability to hypnotize people.

Forsi, who was following Hobert, also decided that he would write a book about a baron who built a poor territory into a beautiful and rich one.

There was no way, Hobert kept providing her with material, so she didn't have to worry about the new book not having any subject matter.

After listening to Fors's idea, Hobert decided to sponsor the cause of "Baroness": "As long as you can write it, I can't help Loen, but I will definitely contact Fenebaud." The largest publishing house in the country will publish a new book for you.”

He was worrying about how to promote his territory in the future, but he forgot about the writer lady beside him.

"From now on, you will stay with me and understand all my policies." Hobert warned: "The speed of the new book must be fast. It is best to complete the new book as soon as everything in the territory is built."

Forsi scratched her head and smiled. In fact, she just had this plan. The previous book about lawyers based on Hobert was only a third of the way through. She had to "find opportunities" to write the new book.

But seeing how happy Hobert was, she was embarrassed to tell the truth, so she could only agree first, and was dragged to the main hall by Hobert to watch him handle government affairs and accumulate materials.

After the main hall of the Lord's Mansion was repaired, Hobert would conduct all his official duties in the main hall. He first called Philip: "The next step is to repair the church on the top of the mountain.

“We can’t stop, we must keep building!”
