Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Grove was stunned and looked up at the lord. It didn't seem like he was saying something sarcastic: "You still trust me."

"What have you done for him? To be honest, if you lie, I can feel it."

Grove was stunned again: "I haven't done much, that is, I often reported to him the situation of Viscount Wright, and later I often reported the movements of the gangsters living in the mountains! I also donated some property and two dollars to him. A girl..."

Grove said seven or eight things in a row, and his voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke. Only then did he realize that he was more like a knight loyal to the Teutonic Viscount.

Hobert nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad."

Grove immediately defended: "That bastard Albert is not that good..."

Hobert waved his hand: "I'll give you an errand that's very suitable for you to do."

"As you command."

"Defect from the Lord's Mansion tomorrow, join the Teutonic Viscount, gain his complete trust, and gradually become an indispensable figure in front of him. Of course, I will help you in this process."

Grove didn't react for a moment, but it took him two or three seconds to realize: the lord was eyeing the Teutonic Viscount.

Hobert picked up the piece of paper at hand: "This is the recipe for the 'Barbarian' potion. If you agree, it will be yours.

"If you can successfully complete the mission in the future, I will also give you the formula and main ingredients of the subsequent potion 'The Briber'."

Hobert smiled and said: "I am an extraordinary person in the 'lawyer' path. As far as I can go, you can go as far as you can."

Grove just found out today that the magic potion behind "Savage" is "Bribe".

He thought for a long time before asking: "What if I fail?"

"Then I will also give you the main material of 'Barbarian', and you and your son will have a good job." The conditions given by Hobert were tempting enough.

Grove no longer hesitated: "I am willing to serve you."

Hobert pours spirituality into the "psychological spoon": "If you tell anyone outside of this room this, you will kill yourself immediately!"

Grove immediately said: "I will definitely keep this secret!"

Hobert said: "I just gave an order to your subconscious mind. Regardless of your guarantee, when you leak the secret, you will commit suicide immediately."

Grove opened his mouth wide. This was an extraordinary world that seemed unfamiliar to him, but he knew that the lord was not trying to scare him.

He added: "I need something that can make Viscount Teutonic's heart beat."

Hobert thought about it for a moment: "I'll send it to you tonight at the latest."

As he spoke, he pushed the note in front of him towards Grover.

Grover took it respectfully: "I will only be loyal to Lord Hobert in this life!"

Forsi looked at Hobert, who was sitting there with a smile on his face. He didn't look like a "gentleman of high moral character".

But Forsi is not afraid of such a Hobert. She knows that Hobert has a heart that yearns for justice, but it is easy for people to misunderstand his means to achieve his goals.

Hobert said to Schier outside: "Call Philip, Conrad, and Roy."

Soon, the three people came to the study room.

Hobert said to Philip and Conrad: "Send out all the people to issue a notice, saying that the lord will announce in public tomorrow how to pay taxes next year, and let everyone in the town and every village come!

"After the announcement, the lord will hold a banquet! Celebrate the New Year in advance!"

He then said to Roy: "While ensuring that the hotel and restaurant are repaired, after the banquet tomorrow, organize 300 people to cut all the reeds by the lake and repair the big pier as quickly as possible!"

After the three subordinates left one after another, Forsi suddenly said: "I feel something big is about to happen."

Hobert smiled: "Yes, something big will indeed happen tomorrow."

He glanced at the closed door of the study: "Help me go to Backlund to buy a loudspeaker and more batteries. Tomorrow, after I announce how to pay taxes next year, you have to help me explain to everyone."

Forsi was stunned for a moment before nodding.

After Hobert was the only one left in the study, he asked Allen to order the kitchen to make donuts, and wrote a letter to Jessica: How is the progress on Kelly's side? I have a way to go to Backlund tonight. If everything goes well, the deal can be completed tonight.

The kitchen knew that the lord "liked to eat donuts", so he had prepared the corresponding materials, and soon a dozen donuts were baked.

Hobert summoned the messenger: "Is this possible? You take six donuts and wait there for a while for the other party's reply?"

The messenger stretched out his hand: "Yes, but if you wait for more than ten minutes, you will need to add three more donuts."

Hobert counted six donuts: "No problem."

Ten minutes later, the messenger brought Jessica's reply, and Hobert paid her three more donuts as he said before.

Jessica's reply was also very simple: Kelly had done a lot of research in advance and used four extraordinary materials to create a total of two extraordinary weapons. The success rate exceeded expectations. If you can come to Backlund, please go to No. 56 Queen's Road after 8 pm and meet in the large warehouse in the backyard.

Hobert smiled slightly. An extraordinary weapon was enough to make the Teutonic Viscount's heart flutter.

Even in Feneport City, Extraordinary weapons are very rare Extraordinary items, let alone South Colson, a mountainous area that has been isolated from the world for more than half a century.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Hobert received a reminder from Klein: The Hanged Man had just traded the sap of the crown tree and the black Metagross flower from other pirates and could complete the transaction.

In the evening, Hobert received another reminder from "The Fool": Miss Magician's transaction was completed.

Hobert then performed the bestowing ceremony and received three Sequence 5 auxiliary materials and a small stack of gold pounds.

In previous Tarot sessions, Hobert received a total of 1,800 pounds and an extraordinary material as a reward.

Three auxiliary materials, the sap of the crown tree is worth 800 pounds, the bark of the dragon pattern tree is worth 500 pounds, and the black gold monster flower is worth 300 pounds.

After completing these transactions, Hobert will also receive 200 pounds in cash.

Seeing the small stack of cash, Hobert smiled and said, "It's not in vain."

After dinner, Hobert locked himself in the study again, first changed into the Loen-style clothes he bought last time at Backlund, then changed his appearance and used "travel" to come to Backlund.

On Minsk Street, which Hobert was familiar with, he took a carriage to the backyard of No. 56 Queen's Boulevard.

Jessica was already waiting at the door of the backyard. After Hobert got off the carriage, he changed back to his original appearance in front of Jessica.

"Oh my God..." Jessica exclaimed: "I was worried about whether you would be recognized."

She pointed behind her with a smile and said: "This is a property owned by Princess Alice, and no one from MI9 dares to break in and catch us."

Hobert was stunned. The princess's name sounded a bit familiar!
