Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Forsi chose to face Dorian with the most sincere attitude. Not only was she not scolded by the teacher, but Dorian was moved by her sincerity and became more trusting of the student.

Forsi told about her extraordinary experience: before meeting her fiancé, she was still a little ignorant about the extraordinary world. During the communication with her fiancé, she learned a lot about the extraordinary world, but it was not comprehensive. It wasn't until she met Teacher Dorian that she had a place to answer the questions in her heart, and gradually gained a comprehensive understanding of the extraordinary world.

Dorian also talked about the family curse and the current fragmented Abraham family.

Both teachers and students showed great sincerity, making the atmosphere of communication very harmonious.

At the end of the conversation, Dorian left the "Astrologer's" potion formula.

Forsi took a look: "Sequence 7: Astrologer.

Main material: Meteor crystal, blood crystal of Lava octopus.

Supporting materials:…”

"Thank you for your help, Teacher Dorian. This is exactly what I need most." Forsi was telling the truth. Although he could get a lower-cost potion formula from Hobert, but even so, " The recipe for "The Astrologer" also costs at least seven to eight hundred pounds.

Dorian smiled and said: "Looking for the main ingredients of the Astrologer's potion is a test for you. As long as you can find one of them, I will provide you with another main ingredient."

Forsi has a more real understanding of the "Angel Family". Even though more than a thousand years have passed, they still have a huge heritage!

After thanking Dorian again, Forsi said: "Teacher, I saw someone buying the bark of the Dragon Marked Tree at a gathering of Beyonders. I wonder if you have any?"

Dorian smiled slightly: "This is a coincidence of fate. In addition to the main materials of the 'Master of Magic', I also brought several extraordinary materials, one of which is more than ten grams of dragon-marked tree bark.

"Normally, I wouldn't bring such extraordinary materials with me, but I happened to bring them with me this time."

…

Kingdom of Feneport, Jeffrey Town.

Hobert was planning to call Philip and others to make arrangements for the Chaotic Mentor Ceremony and the subsequent construction work of Jeffrey Town.

Schier suddenly came to report: "Sir, Knight Louis and Knight Duke are asking for an audience."

Hobert was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and then said: "Let them wait for me in the main hall."

A few minutes later, Hobert came to the main hall of the Lord's Mansion. Albert Lewis and Grover Duke immediately knelt down on one knee: "Lord!"

Hobert was not surprised by the sudden "enthusiasm" between the two people.

These two people can be regarded as the two most knowledgeable people in Hobert's territory. Through Hobert's series of policies and the corpse of the giant beast on the shore of Full Moon Lake, of course they have understood that this is a plan that requires means and means. A lord with martial virtue.

Of course they came at this time to show their loyalty.

After Hobert sat down, he looked at the two people and said, "Get up."

The two knights got up and were about to say a few compliments when Hobert spoke first: "In my territory, every inch of territory and every subject must be subject to my rule.

"You can now move to Jeffrey Town, and one will become a 'Judicial Knight' and the other a 'Tax Knight'. These are two good jobs."

Albert and Grove opened their mouths together. They had no idea that the "cost" of loyalty was so high: giving up the territory passed down by their ancestors.

They quietly looked at the unsmiling Hobert to make sure that he was not joking, nor was he asking for high prices like other nobles, waiting for them to bargain down.

They also realize that if they don't comply, they will face more serious consequences.

"Times have changed." Hobert spread his hands: "If the local nobles don't want to be eliminated in this torrent, they can only move closer to the center, and the center of the territory is me!

"Now I can give you generous terms. Let's solve this problem peacefully. If I take the initiative to find you after a while, you will leave nothing behind."

The two knights fell into deep thought together. When the waterway was prosperous before, the local nobles of South Colson had been suppressed by the king of Feneport City to the point where they only had honorary titles. When the waterway was interrupted, the place was disconnected from the world. After the isolation, the system immediately regressed, returning to the era of the landed aristocracy two to three hundred years ago.

In South Colson, the official barons and viscounts had to bow to some terrifying forces. Even the lords entrusted by the king could not manage this closed area.

The nobles with titles had to make huge compromises, almost to the point of becoming puppets.

However, the lowest level of the knight class has been greatly preserved. Their fiefdoms are generally based on villages. In order to maintain the stability of the grassroots, the interests of most knights have been preserved, and their power has even been strengthened.

At this time, the powerful lord in front of them suddenly wanted to take back the power to govern the territory. Of course, the two knights had a hard time making a choice.

Hobert was not in a hurry, waiting for them to "think it over".

In fact, there was nothing to consider. As long as he dared to say no, Hobert planned to kill one on the spot to establish his authority, and he estimated that the other would immediately succumb.

However, Hobert underestimated the endurance of the two knights. After more than 20 minutes of consideration, the two almost simultaneously expressed their willingness to accept the lord's arrangement.

A smile finally appeared on Hobert's face: "Albert Lewis, right?"

Albert immediately bowed and said: "Yes."

"You have a sealed artifact, but you are not an extraordinary person!"

Albert was slightly startled: "Your Majesty has unique vision. To show my loyalty to you, I will offer my ancestral treasure..."

"I'm not interested in your sealed artifacts." Hobert smiled: "If you do your job well and are loyal enough, I will give you a chance to choose after three months.

“You can choose to be an ‘arbitrator’ or you can choose to be a ‘lawyer’!”

Carrot and stick, a combo that never goes out of style.

Albert immediately fell to his knees and said excitedly: "I choose 'arbitrator'!"

Becoming an "arbitrator" has been their long-cherished wish for three generations. However, the Kingdom of Feneport, similar to the Kingdom of Loen, has very strict control over the extraordinary characteristics of the "Judge" path, and they have never had the opportunity to become an "arbitrator".

After Albert finished expressing his determination to be loyal, Hobert looked at Grove again: "Grove Duke! Which path of Extraordinary are you?"

Grove immediately bowed and said: "Lord, I am a 'lawyer'."

Hobert smiled and said: "Similarly, if you behave well enough in the past three months, I will give you the 'Savage' potion formula."

He once again received allegiance from Grove.

"It just so happens that the New Year is coming soon, and the Lord's Mansion will hold a New Year celebration event. You will stay in the Lord's Mansion for the time being so that you can participate in this event together." Hobert said:

"Ask your servants to move the family to Jeffrey Town, and then go home to appease the family."

Of course, Hobert would not let them go back before completely taking over the territory of the two knights.

After coming out of the main hall of the Lord's Mansion, the two knights looked at each other and felt that the current scene was a bit unreal.

They were originally forced by the huge pressure from the new lord to show their obedience and affiliation, but now their territory is gone and they have become direct subordinates of the lord's mansion.

At the same time, they seem to have a better future. As long as they serve the new lord carefully for three months, they can get the potions and potion formulas they had dreamed of before!

Then the two of them exchanged a few polite words, and under the supervision of the lord's guards, they went to order the servants to move.

In the main hall of the Lord's Mansion, just as the two knights left, a tall figure sitting on a high-backed chair and surrounded by gray fog suddenly appeared in Hobert's mind.

It’s the “fool”!

Then the screen turned, and a female praying voice appeared: "...Dear Mr. Fool, please tell Mr. Emperor that I have found the bark of the dragon-marked tree. It costs 500 pounds for 10 grams."

When the scene ended, Hobert was a little bit dumbfounded: Judging by his attire, it should be Forsi.

He returned to the study, locked the door and prayed to the Fool: "The Fool who does not belong to this era... Dear Mr. Fool, I am willing to accept this deal. The 500 pounds can be deducted from my income from the Tarot Club."

At the end of yesterday's party, Hobert asked Mr. Fool to temporarily keep the rewards from Alger and others' sacrifices. After completing the transaction with "The Hanged Man", he would give him the materials and remaining rewards.

Unexpectedly, the deal with "The Hanged Man" had not yet been completed, so Fors thought of finding the bark of the dragon-marked tree in advance.

This made Hobert couldn't help but sigh: The resources of the Tarot Society are becoming more and more extensive. Audrey represents the resources of the Loen nobles and the "Psychological Alchemy Society", Alger represents the maritime resources, and "Little Sun" represents It's Silver City. Today, Forsi represents the resources of the Abraham family.

Hobert finished his prayer, thinking that the deal would be completed immediately, but after waiting for a while, Forsi came over and said, "Hobert, I have good news!"

She had just returned from Dorian, so of course she couldn't go back immediately to get the bark of the Dragon Marked Tree, so she planned to trade it at night.

Forsi said to Sil, "You go out first."

Siel glanced at the lord, saw Hobert nodded slightly, bowed slightly to the two of them, came outside the study, and closed the door.

"Teacher Dorian didn't blame me!" Forsi smiled.

"Let me tell you, your sincerity will surely impress him." Hobert knew about Dorian's fancy for Forsi, and also knew about Forsi's role in Dorian. He had already prepared for this result. foresee”.

The two people had just chatted for a while, and Schier outside said: "Sir, Albert would like to talk to you alone."

Originally, Schier had great respect for these two "master knights", but after seeing their humble appearance in front of the lord, he felt that this was what these knights were like.

So the original "Louis Chevalier" has now become "Albert".

Hobert was stunned. Didn't he say that he didn't want his sealed artifact?

There are several level 2 sealed artifacts still lying in the "Land of Disorder", and one level 3 sealed artifact he really doesn't like now: "Let him in."

Albert entered the study: "Sir."

Then he looked at Forsi beside him.

Hobert said: "This is my fiancée. If you have anything to say, there is no need for her to avoid it."

He was already ready to refuse the other party's offering of the sealed artifact, but Albert said: "Sir, I'm here to tell you a shocking secret?"

"What do you think... huh? You tell me."

Albert lowered his voice and said: "Grove has already pledged his allegiance to the Teutonic Viscount!"

Hobert was stunned. He was not surprised by the secret that Albert said, but realized that after these two low-level nobles decided to be loyal to the lord, they immediately showed the true nature of the nobles: criticizing each other towards their colleagues.

But Hobert had to deal with these bad things at this time: "Are you sure?"

"It's absolutely true!" Albert said: "My subordinates have seen Grove sending envoys to the Teutonic Viscount more than once."

Hobert nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly thought of something else.

The study immediately fell into silence, and the invisible pressure made Albert breathless.

After more than half a minute, Hobert suddenly smiled and said: "Very good, the information you told me is very useful! You go back first, and I will properly resolve this matter."

Albert breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes!"

Hobert deliberately said to Schier in front of Albert: "Call Grover."

Albert looked happy, feeling that he had occupied a favorable position in this matter.

After Albert left, Forsi whispered: "I think he should also have contacts with the Teutonic Viscount."

"Duplicity is the nature of nobles." Hobert smiled and said: "Both knights are afraid that the other will expose themselves first, so of course they must be the first to report!

"According to common sense, this matter can only go through several wranglings, and eventually it will be dropped due to lack of evidence and other reasons. However, this has made Albert feel worried.

"Even if someone mentions this matter again in the future, the lord will not punish them again for this matter."

Forsi shook his head: "I'm really not suitable for politics."

"However, I don't intend to deal with it according to the usual rules between nobles."

Forsi was stunned: "Do you want to punish them now?"

"Punishing them for something with insufficient evidence will allow them to stand on the commanding heights of public opinion." Hobert smiled: "And Grove is of greater use to me now.

"Just watch the show quietly for a while and don't make any sound."

Forsi nodded.

Siel quickly brought Grove over. After learning that Albert had arrived in advance, he secretly said bad.

He had no choice but to prepare to bite Albert back, and then enter the wrangling stage as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Grove arrived at the lord's study, he heard the lord ask: "Does the Teutonic Viscount trust you?"

Grove quickly knelt on the ground: "Sir, there was no owner of this territory in the past few years. I..."

"You only need to answer me, how much does Viscount Teutonic trust you?" Hobert said: "I have an errand for you to do. Once you complete it, I will give you a huge reward."

Thanks to [Changkongjun] for the reward.
