Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

The main body of the pattern designed by Hobert has two structures. On the left is a half moon, symbolizing that there is half a full moon lake in his territory. On the right side of the half-moon is an upright lion, symbolizing Hobert's dominion over the mountains east of Full Moon Lake.

Added together, it is the territorial identity of Jeffrey Territory.

Hobert intended to use him as the emblem of Geoffrey's Land and Baron Hobert.

While the valet was making flags, Hobert came to his study and considered how to play the "Chaos Mentor"?

After thinking for a moment, he felt that "Chaos Mentor" was similar to "Corrupted Baron". The focus should be on "Chaos", and "Mentor" might just be a title.

So creating chaos? Or stay in the chaos?

To create chaos, what kind of chaos should be created? Causing chaos in the territory? Causing chaos in the realm of Feneport?

If we are to be in chaos, what kind of chaos should we be in?

Hobert thought about it for a long time, and he thought that "creating chaos" seemed to be more in line with the core of "Chaos Mentor".

He gradually had some ideas on how to create chaos.

The first is the reopening of shipping, which would have caused chaos among residents of the old and new waterways.

The "Agrarian Revolution" that Hobert plans to implement in the territory next will definitely cause chaos in the territory for a period of time.

You can wait until these two things are over, first see if there are any signs of loosening of the potion or signs of digestion, and then make a summary.

As for the "mentor", she cannot do nothing. Recently, Selena may be afraid that her family will be implicated, so she has not written to herself.

Hobert plans to take the initiative to write a letter to Selina in the next two days and tell her how to summon his messenger.

Let’s see if we can make a breakthrough in the “mentor” aspect.

After having a direction to try, Hobert took out a map and looked at the ports along the Taidig River. Finally, he set his target at the Port of Grana outside South Colson.

Generally, cargo ships or passenger ships departing from Sevia, the largest coastal port in the Kingdom of Feneport, will go west at the Port of Grana and enter the Yawe River.

It then passes through the center and west of Fenneport before finally reaching the capital.

After the servant finished the flag and delivered it, Hobert looked at the pattern and found it was similar to his own design. He changed his appearance, rolled up the flag and carried it on his shoulders, using his ability to "travel" to enter the spiritual world. .

A few minutes later, Hobert appeared on the outskirts of Port Grana and rode a carriage to the dock.

The pier here is very large, and boats are always coming in and out, making the whole city full of vitality.

This is what a busy waterway should look like. People are busy, with smiles on their faces and full of hope.

Hobert had a workable plan to publicize the reopening of the Taidij River channel before he asked Dophis to call in reporters.

Arriving at Grana Port was the first step in his plan. Next, he inquired about the cargo ships in the port that were seriously delayed. With the help of his extraordinary ability, he quickly found a suitable target: the Nohar.

It was a large inland river cargo ship. Because of the previous repairs that had delayed the voyage, it was no longer possible to reach Feneport City as scheduled.

If the delay is too long, the company to which the "Nohar" belongs may have to pay a large sum of money, which meets the "requirements" of taking risks.

Hobert came to the docking position of the "Nohal". This was a steam ship. There was a thick and tall chimney in the center of the ship, but it still retained the structure of the sail. It was an old-fashioned steam ship. Boat.

The stevedores and crew members are busy trying to save as much time as possible on loading.

Hobert poured his spirituality into the "psychological spoon" and said to a crew member commanding on the dock: "Take me to your captain!"

The crew member’s anxious expression immediately turned into a smile: “Okay, sir!”

As a Sequence 5, Hobert will certainly not solicit business like an ordinary salesman. Problems that can be solved with extraordinary abilities must be solved with extraordinary abilities.

After seeing the confused captain, Hobert continued to use the ability of "Psychological Spoon": "Call all the crew members!"

Captain Dean immediately smiled and said: "Okay, sir!"

Following the captain's shout, the crew members came to the deck one after another.

Hobert smiled and said to everyone: "Your voyage has been delayed. Fortunately, you found out at the dock that the channel of the Taidig River has been reopened, so you plan to take the risk and take Taidig, which can save half the time. channel.

“In this way, not only will you not miss the deadline, but you will also be able to arrive early.

"At this moment you happened to meet me, the envoy of Baron Hobert. I promise you that as long as the flag representing the Jeffrey Territory is hung on the bow of your ship, if you encounter danger in South Colson, you can immediately Call for help by firing flares.

"Baron Hobert's guards will arrive immediately to help you solve the difficulties you encounter."

The crew members were confused for a while and unbelievable for a while, but they were all hypnotized by Hobert one after another, thinking that what the man in front of them said was a very correct decision. They had never heard such a convincing thing since they were children.

Hobert handed the flag in his hand to the captain: "Okay, you can set sail after loading the cargo. You will only remember that you asked me to help you solve the problem, and you will forget the specific process of my boarding the ship."

After Hobert left, the captain and crew seemed to suddenly wake up from their sleep together.

Captain Dean held the flag in his hand tightly: "What are you idiots, you idiots, what are you doing on the deck? Go load the cargo! You also need to store enough vegetables and food. No one has left the Taidig River for so many years. , there must be no supply ports left!”

…

Hobert returned to his study. His first priority now was to wait for the arrival of the "Nohal" and ensure that they reached the capital safely.

Then cooperate with the reporters invited to publicize the matter.

In the future, more and more ships will use this channel.

Hobert was about to ask the valet to call Philip, but Philip came himself: "Sir, a group of people came to the port. They said they were the designers and engineers you invited."

"That's right, that's right!" Hobert smiled and said, "Arrange them in the newly renovated hotel, and eat in the hotel next door. All the expenses for food and accommodation will be borne by the Lord's Mansion.

"Let the designers or heads of the two design teams come to see me."

"Yes." Philip left for more than an hour and came back, bringing back a bald middle-aged man and a middle-aged man wearing glasses.

Hobert met them in the main hall of the Lord's Mansion, and Philip introduced them. The bald middle-aged man was a railway designer named Scola, and the middle-aged man with glasses named Valcke was an architectural designer and planner. division.

Hobert asked his servants to hang up a sketch of the territory he drew in advance: "I believe you should know the purpose of your visit."

Scola smiled and said: "Yes, Sir, Steward Dophis made it very clear that I will help you design a small railway, and engineers will supervise the entire construction process."

Philip on the side was full of surprise. He did not expect that the lord would actually prepare to lay a railway in the territory!

He had only heard people talk about trains and railways, and had seen photos from Viscount Wright, but he had never seen the real thing.

"I will help you design a resort, and the engineers I will bring will supervise the entire construction process." Valk said with a smile.

Hobert said to Valk: "You have a new task now. You have to help me plan the town of Jeffrey. If your plan satisfies me, I will also pay you a satisfactory reward."

Valk often dealt with nobles. He bowed slightly and said, "I am happy to serve."

If it were an ordinary nobleman living in a remote rural area, these two people would certainly not have come all the way here, and even if they had come, they would not have been so complimentary.

But Hobert has the endorsement of Count Christian, and there are also rumors that the father and son brought a huge amount of wealth from Loen, plus the conditions in Jeffrey Town are much better than they imagined, and they were dismembered by the lake. They were impressed by the images of large water beasts.

So from the moment they settled down, they knew how to face Baron Hobert.

Hobert pointed to the map he drew: "I hope that the railway will start from the pier, go up the mountain along this gentle slope, go around the mountain, come down, and return to the pier again along the lake."

Scola held his chin and thought for a while before saying: "Sir, I just observed the mountains in your territory. Although they are not very steep, they are definitely not suitable for walking on a train with too much cargo capacity. Of course, you don't need that. Large train.

"My suggestion is that when you buy a locomotive, buy a locomotive with no less than 1,800 horsepower, so that you can carry at least 50 tons of cargo or guests up the mountain at one time."

Hobert nodded, that was enough. The train he designed was mainly for pulling people, not goods.

He then said to Valk: "I want to build a resort resort on the south side of the mountain, on the mountainside, in a place that is difficult to cultivate. I will also build a wide road from the pier to the resort, and also build a large activity center.

"The road has to go over the mountain. On the north side of the mountain, a casino, a reception center, an auction house, and an entertainment center are to be built. After going down from the north side, there is a wasteland full of rocks. A casino can be built there. golf course."

Valk took a notebook and quickly wrote down Hobert's request: "I need to go to the site to investigate."

"No problem, Philip, you arrange for someone to take them around."

After learning about their specific tasks, Scola and Valk bowed slightly and left.

Hobert waited for more than ten minutes before calling Phillip back: "Open a small market in the open space next to the big pier. You can sell vegetables and other things there.

“Send people to maintain law and order, send people to set up a ‘fair scale’, but don’t collect taxes for the time being.”

Philip: "Yes."

Hobert stretched. There was nothing important to do today and he could take a rest.

But as soon as he returned to the study, he heard the prayers from the "Land of Disorder".

Sitting on the "Iron Throne", Hobert saw that the star representing Lawrence was expanding. He spread his spirituality over it and heard Lawrence's prayer: "... Great 'creator', I will report to you the progress of our preparations. , our combatants are basically in place, and we plan to launch an attack on the 'Rose School' in the afternoon three days later."

"Sunday afternoon." Hobert muttered to himself, but he did not reply to Lawrence immediately, but planned to wait a while.

Hobert took advantage of the waiting period to look at the other stars.

Elliot was riding in a carriage with others, seemingly on the road. From their conversation, Hobert learned that Elliot had also been transferred to participate in the attack on the "Rose School".

Upton is selling a set of small steam cranes to customers. He looks much more stable and a bit like a successful businessman.

Rafter was looking at maps and geographical magazines, seeming to be thinking about where to go after leaving Backlund?

Alice was chatting with a group of noble ladies again, as if the nobles had endless gossip among themselves. Of course, while talking about gossip, they would also appreciate the latest plays, operas and poems.

Finally, there is Ethel, who is sitting at her desk handling official business, looking calm and confident.

After looking around, Hobert set his sights on Rafter's stars. It was time to visit the ruins of the Trunsoest nobles again.

Since Rex's magic stick friend said that Hobert would loot the secret room, of course he had to help the magic stick complete the prophecy.

Previously, Hobert was afraid that he would not be able to capture the body of the "Ancient Death" into the "Land of Disorder" and be embarrassed in front of the Beloved.

However, after being promoted to Sequence 5, Hobert's spirituality told him that with the power he could now mobilize in the "Land of Disorder", he could already do this.

As for Mr. Azik who wanted to see the body of the "Ancient Death" in the future, but couldn't find it, he could only blame Mr. Azik for going too late.

"Hehehe~"

Hobert smiled, as if he saw Mr. Azik searching for the corpse of the "Ancient Death" underground, so he planned to write a letter to Mr. Azik to explain the situation to him after the place was emptied. .

Hobert also thought of looking for the blood of some "mid-sequence" "Death" or "Gate" path extraordinary people before carrying out this operation.

He remembered Mr. Azik saying that the easiest way to find the door that kept changing its position was to paint the wall with the blood of "middle-sequence" Beyonders from the two pathways.

Hobert thought for a while, and it seemed that the only way to find the relevant blood was from Mr. Dophis. Forsi was still the "Master of Magic", and her blood could not attract the door yet.

But he planned to talk about it tomorrow. After responding "yes" to Lawrence, Hobert returned to the real world to drink tea, doing nothing and letting his mind empty.

Chat with Forsi during dinner, look at the moon together, and enjoy life.

Forsi has been in Backlund all day today. She seemed to have been stimulated last night and had already found a circus to perform tricks in an effort to digest the potion as soon as possible.

Hobert offered Forsi a few words of encouragement and then asked to see the manuscript of her new book.

As a result, Forsi hesitated and talked about other topics.

Hobert knew immediately that she might not have even begun to write.

So Hobert began to talk about the importance of this book to Jeffrey's territory, the importance to the entire waterway, and the importance to the people in the territory.

The more Forsi listened, the more ashamed he became. That night, the lights in Forsi's room stayed on until late at night, around one o'clock in the morning, before he turned off the lights and went to rest.

As soon as Forsi lay down, someone quietly entered the yard over there.

Hobert, whose spirituality had been greatly enhanced, woke up immediately. Taking advantage of the time when the other party sneaked into the yard, he quickly wrapped his pajamas tightly.

In order to prevent emergencies, before going to bed, Hobert would hang his magical items on the "buttons" reserved on his pajamas. As long as he wrapped his pajamas tightly, his skin would be able to touch those magical items.

If an emergency occurs, it will not affect the use of these magical items in battle.

Hobert grabbed the cane beside the bed, took two "Lost Control Stones" from the bedside table, and finally stood quietly under the oil painting, preparing to meet the enemy.

The opponent didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack. Instead, after being prepared, someone recited a spell in Hermes: "Babble!"

Oops! It's a spell!

Hobert took off the oil painting with his other hand, held it in front of him, and immediately opened the door and went out.

At the same time, a black talisman smashed through the window glass and was thrown into the room, immediately uttering harsh murmurs.

Hobert felt his head swell when he walked to the door. Although Hobert left the room earlier than the people outside expected, a series of abilities still hit him after Hobert went out: "Arrogance" , "Imprisonment", "Whip", "Fireball", "Wind Blade"!

The "oil painting" helped Hobert block most of the attacks. At the same time, Hobert injected spirituality into the "Order Crystal" on the handle of the knife, forming a thick black shield that blocked other attacks.

But no one seems to have seen the content of the "oil painting", because no one said: "What a wonderful scenery!"

It seems that the previous "Lengye Squad" informed other mercenary squads about the capabilities of this sealed artifact, so the mercenary squad that made the surprise attack was prepared.

Although no one uttered a sigh, there was obviously a brief pause in their movements.

Taking this opportunity, Hobert glanced at the yard. There were six figures in total, which should be another mercenary team.

After blocking the opponent's first round of attacks, he immediately used "flash" to come outside the yard, and then used his "low flying" ability to escape towards the lake.

This operation completely fooled his opponents, and Hobert actually escaped.

In order to prevent the newly repaired lord's mansion from being destroyed again, he prepared to go to the spacious lake to fight.

But just as Hobert flew not far away, a pale wall made of bones suddenly appeared in front of him. It seemed to be extremely tough and insurmountable.

Hobert immediately realized that this was a special undead creature.

He glanced behind him and saw that six pursuers had already caught up with him, so Hobert simply pulled out his knife and thrust his cane into the ground: "Order!"

In an instant, a towering tree rose from the ground. Its crown covered an area of ​​nearly 100 meters, including part of the lord's mansion.

Several pursuers were stunned. They obviously did not expect that Hobert had such a magical item with such a visual impact.

Don't talk about them, Hobert didn't even think of it. Before that, he estimated that after his promotion, the coverage area of ​​the "Tree of Order" would increase to sixty or seventy meters, but it actually reached a hundred meters!

Such a huge thing is so shocking that it blocks the night sky.

"weaken!"

Hobert was slightly startled. This skill was not used by him, but came from a pursuer.

Before he could inject spirituality into the "Order Crystal" again, he felt that his strength, spirituality, speed, etc. were weakened.

But then, under his "distortion", the negative impression of "weakening" was minimized, and his condition recovered somewhat.

At the end of the second round of fighting, Hobert determined that the opponent must be able to use "Weaken" and "Arrogance" without "bribery" and there must be a "Chaos Mentor" among the enemies!

This "Chaos Mentor" should be the captain.

There was also the special undead creature that appeared in front of him just now, which made Hobert guess that there should be an extraordinary person of the "God of Death" path among the pursuers. It was most likely a "Necromancer", and the "psychic person" could not summon it. Such a powerful undead creature.

In addition, according to the attack he received just now when he went out, there should be a "Wind Blessed" among the enemies.

The other three enemies should have two "Arbiter" paths and one "Hunter" path. The specific strength is currently unknown.

At the same time, Hobert felt that the ability of the "Wood of Order" was greatly enhanced. As the owner of the "Wood of Order," Hobert just stood under the canopy, and the surrounding order and rules became beneficial to him.

Just like just now, he discovered that he could even "distort" his negative state under the tree canopy. He tried it, and his "weakened" state was immediately improved.

At the beginning of the battle, Hobert was still worried about whether he could drive away the members of the mercenary team. After the fight, he understood his own strength and the strength of the opponent. Hobert felt that he could arrogantly believe that these six No enemy can even think of leaving!

Taking advantage of the visual impact of the "Tree of Symbol", which made the six enemies hesitate, Hobert took advantage of the opportunity in the third round: "Corrosion!"

He has been using "corrosion" quietly since he left the house, and now he finally broke out.

The "corrosion" after promotion has also been greatly enhanced, and the movements of those Sequence 6s have once again stopped. In the next few seconds, they all have to work hard to fight against the darkness and greed in their hearts.

One of the Sequence 7s was completely hit. He felt that the "Wood of Symbol" was a rare magical item, so he left Hobert as an enemy and hugged the "Wood of Symbol" in an attempt to get it. make it their own.

Only the "Chaos Mentor" was not greatly affected: "Chaos!"

Hobert, who is very familiar with this ability, knows that "chaos" is like the "death" of "Retribution Knight". As long as the target is determined, there is no way to avoid it.

So Hobert simply said: "Twisted!"

He "distorted" the concept between himself and the enemy, and in the next two seconds, he and the "Chaos Mentor" fell into a state of "chaos" at the same time.

By the time Hobert regained his consciousness, two Sequence 6s who had recovered from "corrosion" had already rushed in front of him.

The "Undead Mentor" held a sword with extraordinary power and pierced Hobert's heart.

There is an extra update today!
