Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

The luncheon was held at the Governor's Mansion. At the beginning of the banquet, Forsi talked about the special fruits of Longwei Island with the special envoys and main officials of the delegation.

It's just that the special envoy Alice is still a little bit unconscious. She is still thinking about her previous meeting with Adrian.

At that time, the mayor was talking to everyone about how to prevent wheat diseases, which made everyone stunned on the spot, because they only learned today that wheat can also get sick!

Alice couldn't understand, what exactly had Adrian gone through? Why has such a big change occurred?

She thought about her thoughts and ate a piece of pineapple casually. Alice was slightly startled by the reaction of her taste buds. The meat was plump and fragrant, which was very different from the pineapples she usually ate.

Alice glanced at the fruit platter in front of her. Golden pineapples, red watermelons, white bananas, and bright red lychees formed a colorful palette on the plate.

There were also several fruits that she had never seen before.

It was then that she seemed to come back to her senses and heard Forsi explaining to everyone: "...This is called dragon fruit, and there are several other fruits such as durian. They are new fruits that we grafted and cultivated ourselves..."

New fruit!

Everyone is a little unfamiliar with this name. After the initial colonial era, they heard more about "new opportunities" and "new products".

The term "new fruit" seems to be far away from them.

In fact, this is not a new fruit, but it was basically in a wild state before. Because of its taste or difficulty in transporting long distances, it did not appear on the tables of nobles.

Then Forsi began to introduce the improved fruits. Everyone tasted them and found that the taste was indeed different!

After lunch, Fors took them to the mountainous area to visit the fruit cultivation base. When everyone saw the large tracts of tropical fruits grown on a large scale, they were shocked beyond words.

There is such an advanced agricultural system on such a remote island!

When they left, Fors each gave them a "fruit gift bag" and told them that they were welcome to order delicious and sweet specialty fruits from Longwei Island.

The ultimate goal of her enthusiastic reception to the visiting group today is to sell the fruits of Longwei Island to them.

Since vegetables and fruits began to be grown in the mountains of Longtail Island, all of Hobart's territory has become fruit-free.

Except that the people in the South Balam area are relatively poor and don't have much money to spend on fruits, in the South Colson area and the "Earl's Light" factory, tropical fruits are already people's daily food.

The market is only so big, but the production of fruits is gradually increasing. There is already a large surplus, and the countries in the northern continent are in the war stage. All the people's money is used to buy food, and there is no extra money to spend on fruits. .

So Forsi planned to expand some potential customer groups. The first thing she thought of was the Loen nobles and Feneport nobles. Even during the war, the living standards of the nobles had not dropped at all.

The aristocratic side of the Kingdom of Feneport is easy to market, as many nobles regularly attend the extraordinary auctions held in the South Colson area.

At present, the upper class in the Kingdom of Feneport have eaten the fruit from Longwei Island. It is said that the royal family has even used it to entertain foreign guests.

When Fors was thinking about how to open the market for Loen nobles, an opportunity came to her door. The king's special envoy was visiting the South Balam Principality. Of course, she would not miss such a good sales opportunity.

The members of the visiting delegation felt that they had gained a lot today. They seemed to have seen a different world. At the same time, many of them planned to send people to order fruits from the South Balam Principality when they returned to Backlund.

The accompanying reporters also planned to report in detail what they saw and heard on Changwei Island. In the public's mind, this is a backward and barbaric island, but this is not the case. This island has an amazing agricultural system.

The public likes this kind of news that somewhat subverts cognition but seems to be reasonable.

Audrey arranged the activities for the second day of the delegation, and she took the members of the delegation to visit the city of Angelou under construction.

She led everyone to climb the remaining section of the city wall used for sightseeing: "Anjelou was just a fortress-level city before. The reason why Archduke Hobert decided to make his capital here is because this city can connect the entire country. East and west sides.

“Everyone should have heard that we captured two states in West Balam from the Fusac Empire, and another state from the Feneport Kingdom.

"But the king's fiefdoms are all in East Balam. For more than a hundred years, the separation of East and West Balam has also caused serious divisions in the territory of South Balam.

"In the middle of the country, there is an underdeveloped area. In order to fill this 'gap' and connect the coastal cities on both sides, the capital was built here."

Alice and others looked at everything in front of them, somewhat absentmindedly. As far as they could see, there were construction sites one after another. Horse-drawn carriages were galloping between the construction sites, dumping cartloads of building materials.

Although everyone knows that this city is much smaller than Backlund, but for some reason, they always feel that such a city under heavy construction is very spectacular.

Audrey continued to explain: "I participated in the battle to defend the city of Angelou, and I have a different feeling for this city.

"The enemy launched an attack from that direction, and one of the city walls was immediately blown down. We started street fighting with the enemy, and the battle line was once reduced to the general headquarters.

"Just when the general headquarters was about to miss, reinforcements finally arrived. We worked together inside and outside to annihilate all the enemies."

This caused the reporters to immediately open their sketchbooks and quickly record Audrey's words.

It's hard to imagine that "Backlund's most dazzling gem" actually participated in that civil war, and just from the sound of it, it felt like the battle must have been fierce.

So far, the people of the Northern Continent do not know the details of the civil war in the South Balam Principality, so reporters have asked questions. This is first-hand information about that civil war.

After the topic was over, Alice pointed to the busy construction site and asked, "Where did you find so many workers?"

"Part of them are prisoners of war and immigrants." Audrey knew this very well: "Most of them are gang members and very poor people in the South Balam Principality!"

Having said this, the beautiful young lady took a deep breath: "Ladies and gentlemen, we in Backlund have no way of imagining what poverty is like in the colonies.

“Many people don’t have homes at all and live in caves. They even fight over a cave because if they can’t live in a cave, they have to sleep in the wild and they will easily get sick and die.

“Many people are in their twenties and have never even tasted bread or what baked grain tastes like.

“Especially some teenagers were sold by their parents to some slave owners and were engaged in dangerous and arduous labor. Most of them did not live to be twenty years old.

"Because life is very difficult, gangs are rampant here. They do all kinds of evil and often kill whole families just for a little food."

Alice and the others didn't say anything, but listened quietly, because Audrey's description was very unfamiliar to them, as if it happened in another world.

Finally, Audrey said: "So after the civil war, our grassroots officials discovered that in order to carry out a series of reforms, the local gangs must be eliminated.

“After identifying gang organizations in various places, the principality government began to arrest them on a large scale and escort them to construction sites.

"This group of people are not paid, they are only provided with food and accommodation, and these gang members will not be tried until the city is built."

She paused and then said: "There are still some people who are so poor that if we don't help them, they will probably starve to death in a few days.

“In order to reduce the pressure on the grassroots, we also sent them here, provided them with food and accommodation, provided them with clothes, and also gave them some wages.

"After the city is built and the wages they receive are enough to live for a period of time, we will send them back to their place of origin and give them land to survive."

Alice and Georgina looked at each other, and then nodded slowly together.

A reporter asked curiously: "How is the agricultural tax here collected? What percentage of the harvest do people have to pay?"

"There is no agricultural tax." Audrey said: "Grand Duke Hobert once said that farmers provide food for the entire country, but they themselves are very poor and always hungry. This is a very strange phenomenon."

The reporters who asked the question were shocked: "No, there is no agricultural tax."

Not only this reporter, but other diplomats and reporters were very surprised. In their impression, the plunder of colonies was first and foremost the plunder of local farmers.

But the South Balam Principality did not do this, so where did their income come from? Will this country collapse soon?

Lunch was served at the general headquarters in Angelou City. It was very simple. After all, maintaining such a large construction site requires a huge amount of food every day.

These foods must be prepared from other places, so the officials in this city currently eat very simply. Even Prime Minister Conrad only eats one dish and a large piece of bread for each meal.

This reminded everyone in the visiting group of a rumor about Hobert. It was said that the Grand Duke lived a very simple life when he first became an earl.

In the afternoon, Audrey took the delegation to visit the indigenous gathering place in the southern part of the San Nosay area.

At present, the area has become quite large. The swamps have been turned into large fish ponds, pastures have been built on the grasslands, and the woods have been divided and felled in batches.

Because they learned that it was a gathering place for aborigines, the guards of the visiting delegation were very nervous. In their impression, the aborigines were similar to savages.

It's hard to tell what offended them, or what? In short, this group of barbarians will inexplicably brandish the primitive weapons in their hands and attack every civilized person from the northern continent.

But the aboriginal gathering place in the South Balam Principality seemed to be different. They were actually smiling at Audrey. Not only did they smile, they also greeted Audrey in the local language or the less proficient Rune language, and used their etiquette to show respect.

Audrey also used Aboriginal etiquette to return the favor and communicated with them in the local language.

Although Alice and others didn't know what they were talking about, they seemed to be getting along very well.

Next, Audrey was very proud to show the results of the "Aboriginal Gathering Area" to the visiting group. Although Audrey was not in charge of this plan, she participated in the whole process.

She saw it transform from an inaccessible swamp into a rich gathering place.

She saw with her own eyes that the aboriginal people were struggling to survive. After living here, they made money from the fish they raised, the sheep they slaughtered, and the wood they cut down, and then bought the food and various daily necessities they needed to survive.

Although at the beginning, the residents here came here under her "persuasion", they soon really regarded this place as their home.

At present, this year's target has been completed, and nearly 10,000 indigenous people have been resettled here.

It is planned to resettle a total of 30,000 indigenous people in the first half of next year to solve the survival pressure faced by the local people under the previous oppression of the Loen colonial army.

Through this action, Audrey also fell in love with governing. If public resources and public power can be used in the right place, many people's livelihood problems can be solved.

When they returned, Alice asked Audrey: "In order to resettle the indigenous people, you actually learned their etiquette and language?"

Audrey is a real Loen noble. How did she put aside her dignity to learn some barbaric language and etiquette?

Just by looking at the expressions of Alice and others, Audrey understood what they were thinking. She smiled and said: "Hobert said that the aborigines don't want much, they just want the living space and the most basic things." respect.

"No one stipulates that everything in Loen is supreme, and no one stipulates that the indigenous people must learn Loen's living habits."

Alice was stunned for a moment before asking: "Is this Hobert's national policy towards the indigenous people? Or should we say it's a governing policy?"

"No, this is just the most basic respect." Audrey said seriously: "According to my observation, as Hobert said, as long as you give them the conditions to live and give them the most basic respect, they will all They are law-abiding people.

"Of course, there will still be many conflicts and contradictions between us and them, but we can now sit down and talk without any more bloody conflicts."

Finally, she pointedly said: "The people in the Northern Continent are not that noble, and the people in the Southern Continent are not at all humble in personality."

Alice was somewhat surprised and wanted to remind Audrey: You are a noble!

That night, Alice couldn't sleep. When she knocked on Georgina's door, she found that the director of MI9 was not asleep either.

The two people looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

After inviting Alice in, Georgina made a pot of tea, and the two talked about their experiences over the past two days.

"This is a very scary place." Alice said, "Have you noticed? There are no nobles here!"

Georgina replied: "Not only that there are no nobles, but in my opinion, the most terrifying thing here is that even the nobles can be assimilated.

"It's not surprising that Duchess Forsi can get along with the natives of Longwei Island. After all, she is an ordinary person, middle-class at best.

"It's hard to imagine that Audrey could say something like 'respect the indigenous people'. She must have been influenced by Hobert."

Alice nodded in agreement: "This guy had some strange ideas very early on."

Georgina took a deep breath and added: "This country feels very dangerous. The Northern Continent should cease the war immediately! The four of us should concentrate our efforts to eliminate the Southern Balam Principality."

Alice looked at her tea cup and fell into deep thought. From a personal emotional point of view, she thought what Hobert was doing was great.

But from a profit perspective, she felt that such greatness was terrifying.

Soon on the third day, the visiting delegation finally met Hobert.

This young Grand Duke still looks so sunny and confident, and is very kind to others. He doesn't look like a Duke who rules two counties at all.

In the morning of that day, the two sides held high-level talks, and the two sides reaffirmed the affiliation of the Principality of South Balam and the Kingdom of Loen.

As the Duke of Loen, Hobert also promised that as long as the internal problems of the principality were resolved, he would immediately declare war on the colonies of the Fusac Empire and the Republic of Intis in order to delay the enemy from adding more troops.

In the afternoon, Hobert led the delegation to visit the city of Rocklear, which was turned into ruins during the civil war. Among the ruins, the original site of the Governor's Palace was preserved. At this time, the Civil War Building of the South Balam Principality was being built here. memorial.

Bloodstains can be seen everywhere in this ruins. If you are "lucky", you can also find small pieces of broken limbs under the rubble.

Everyone has a new understanding of the brutality of the principality's civil war.

On the ruins, Hobert cursed the Feysac Empire and the Republic of Intis for their military intervention, as well as the Highland Kingdom's robbery. He claimed that they must pay the price with blood.

After these political displays, Hobert invited Alice and Georgina to tea that evening.

The two parties met in a spacious living room. The only people participating in this meeting were Hobert and Audrey, as well as Alice and Georgina.

They first chatted for a while about Backlund's current situation, and then Georgina talked about the main topic of the visit: "We never thought before that the Intis people could be so despicable. During our war with the Feysac Empire, After gaining a certain advantage, declare war on us."

Hobert thought to himself: Even if there were advantages, once George III died, all the advantages would be gone.

Georgina continued: "The Kingdom of Loen is now facing enemies from two directions and is somewhat overwhelmed, especially the navy. We just had a fierce naval battle with the Navy of the Republic of Intis in the Rhoside Islands.

"Although we won in the end, we also paid a heavy price."

Hobert nodded. He had heard of this naval battle. As Georgina said, it was indeed very fierce, and both sides involved in the battle suffered considerable losses.

But He said nothing, as if He continued to listen.

"We need the Principality of South Balam to fulfill its obligations as a vassal state and send a certain amount of force to participate in the war in the northern continent." Georgina had no choice but to tell the purpose of their trip.

Hobert was slightly taken aback by this request: "You have also seen that the civil war that just ended cost us a huge price.

"Currently, the army of the South Balam Principality cannot even launch an attack on the enemy's colony."

At this time, Alice said: "We also know that the South Balam Principality is currently unable to dispatch soldiers, but can it provide us with some extraordinary power?"

Hobert took a deep breath: "Your Royal Highness, you have helped the South Balam Principality, and we will attach great importance to your request.

"But for now, the South Balam Principality has contained an enemy angel, at least 6 demigods, and more than 200 extraordinary people of various sequences.

“I think this should relieve the pressure on the Loen Kingdom to a great extent.

"If our extraordinary power is transferred to the northern continent, this check and balance will be broken, and the enemy is likely to launch a new attack. At that time, we will have to quickly call back our extraordinary power.

"It cannot provide substantial help, and it also imposes a heavy price on the extraordinary power we are repairing."

For a moment, the living room fell silent.

Both Alice and Georgina knew that Hobert was telling the truth. The current ability of the South Balam Principality to hold back so many enemies was far beyond the Loen royal family's expectations.

Audrey sat quietly and observed both sides: real negotiations don't have so many bells and whistles, they just present facts and discuss strength. Of course, timing is also important. Just like now, the Kingdom of Loen is obviously more powerful than the Principality of South Balam, but because of the declaration of war by the Republic of Intis, the Kingdom of Loen has to turn to the Principality of South Balam for help.

After being silent for more than half a minute, Alice said, "Can you ask your forces at sea to provide some help?"

Hobert thought for a while and then said: "Tell me what help you need."

He guessed that the so-called maritime power should refer to the "Trunsoest Empire".

Alice finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. As long as Hobert didn't refuse, the purpose of their trip would be possible.

Georgina talked about Loen's needs: "The main force of the Fusac Empire's fleet took advantage of the decisive battle between the main force of our fleet and the Republic of Intis in the Rhosid Islands to start a sneak attack on Loen's port southward.

"Before we came, the Loen Kingdom's coastal defense force and Eastern Fleet had already had a fierce battle with the Fusac Empire fleet at Enmat Port. Although many enemy ships were sunk, Enmat Port was basically intact. Paralyzed.

“The Ministry of National Defense believes that after the Fusac fleet is repaired, it will definitely go south again and attack Pulitzer Port.

"Once this port is paralyzed..."

Georgina did not continue, because Enmatt Port and Pulitzer Port were responsible for 80% of the maritime transportation tasks of the entire Loen. If both ports fell, it would mean that it would be difficult for Loen to get any more supplies from the Rhoad Islands. and supplies and support from the Southern Continent.

Hobert did not give an answer immediately, but asked again: "Where is the Church of Storms? Don't they have the strength to participate in the war?"

Georgina replied: "Their main strength is in the Rhoad Islands."

Hobert nodded slowly. The Church of Storms must give priority to dealing with the Church of the Eternal Sun, otherwise the Feysac fleet would not be able to freely come and go on the coastline of the Kingdom of Loen.

After another minute or so of thinking, Hobert smiled helplessly and said, "I would like to help, but the South Balam Principality does not have a navy."

Georgina had no choice but to take the initiative and said: "An officer of the Royal Navy was at Tutuga Port and saw a giant ship suspected to be the 'Trunsoest Empire' protecting the port."

Hobert seemed confused: "That is indeed the Trunsoest Empire, but do you expect members of the Trunsoest family to help the Augustus family?"

Audrey recalled the corresponding information transactions: the Augustus family, the Castilla family and other four great nobles of the Trunsoest Empire are currently the royal families or royal families of the four countries in the northern continent.

To put it nicely, the four families, with the support of the gods, divided up the fruits of victory gained by the Trunsoest Empire in the early stages of the "War of the Four Emperors".

To put it harshly, the Trunsoest Empire was dismembered by them!

Alice took a deep breath before saying: "I don't think there is a direct conflict between us, there should be room for cooperation."

She paused and then said: "You can help persuade the crew of the Empire, and we can provide the best help we can to the South Balam Principality."

The living room fell into silence for the third time. Alice and Georgina were both a little nervous at this time, because the initiative in this negotiation was entirely in Hobert's hands.

Fortunately, only about ten seconds passed this time before Hobert asked again: "What is the approximate strength of the main force of the Fusac fleet?"

Georgina quickly replied: "There are generally 8 demigods, commanded by Yegor Einhorn, and the fleet generally consists of 30 to 40 battleships, 50 to 60 cruisers, 120 to 140 destroyers and frigates, and about 30 It consists of submarines and corresponding supply ships."

She took a deep breath before saying: "In addition, Yegor can invite the supreme commander of the Sunya Sea Theater Ajomatova to join the battle at any time."

Hobert couldn't help but frowned and asked: "Can the coastal defense forces in Pulitzer Harbor summon the Archduke of Southwell to join the battle at any time?"

"No!" Alice replied: "Not long ago, a member of the Einhorn family was successfully promoted to a 'Weather Warlock'.

"It was precisely because of His sudden appearance that the front line on the south coast of Jianhai was breached in a short period of time."

Hobert smiled helplessly. This was the "combat power" of the "Hunter". As the war continued, the more people fought, the higher their rank became.

Well now, the Fusac Empire currently has three angels. Roen is not lacking warships at sea at all, but is lacking a new angel to deal with the enemy!

Thinking of this, he shook his head: "Sorry, we really can't provide enough help.

"Although the 'Empire' is powerful and can at best compete with the Fusac fleet, it is no match for an angel."

Alice immediately said: "You just need to help us hold on for a month!"

Hobert was slightly startled: "Within a month, the Loen royal family is sure to promote a new 'balancer'?"

Alice took a deep breath and said, "Yes."

Hobert thought for a while: "The Principality of South Balam also needs some help from the Kingdom of Loen."

"you say!"

"There is currently no university in the entire South Balam Principality. We hope to borrow some professors and students from the Loen Kingdom to quickly open the university." Hobert said:

"Now that the entire Loen Kingdom is being devastated by war, it is just right to send these professors and students to the Southern Continent for refuge."

Alice and Georgina were both stunned. Such a request was something they had not expected.

But if a few professors and a group of students can exchange for the help of the "Empire" and an angel, this is a very cost-effective business.

However, based on their previous negotiation experience with Hobert, they believed that the demands of the South Balam Principality could not be so simple.

So Alice asked again: "Which professors do you need?"

"It doesn't take too much." Hobert said seriously: "All the teachers and students of Backlund University, all the teachers and students of Backlund Technical University, all the teachers and students of Ahova University, all the teachers and students of Earl University, All the teachers and students of Heliers Ocean University, that’s it.”

In this era, universities are more than just a place for learning. Almost all the most cutting-edge technologies are on university campuses. This is an era in which universities lead the most advanced technologies.

After Hobert built the industrial zone, he had already begun to build a university campus. He had long planned to seize the professors from Loen's famous universities. Now that a ready-made opportunity came to his door, of course he would not let it go.

The five universities that Hobert mentioned in one breath just now either have strong overall strength, have technology, or have the most advanced theories. In short, they are the top five universities in Backlund.

The majors of these universities cover the fields of economics, industry, physics, chemistry, medicine, etc., covering almost all the basic disciplines that make up a modern country.

Audrey immediately realized that if these universities could really move to the Principality of South Balam, it would not be long before South Balam would truly become a modern country!

Alice and Georgina were somewhat dumbfounded. Of course they knew that these universities were the foundation of a country.

But they cannot refuse directly, because if they refuse, they may even lose the country. What is the use of these foundations?

After a long while, Alice said: "I will give you an answer tomorrow."

Hobert nodded: "No problem."

After seeing off the two guests, Audrey asked: "Will the royal family agree?"

"The probability of agreeing is very high." Hobert smiled: "Because no one will help Roen except us at this time."

The Loen royal family is very likely to overdraw its future and get over the current difficulties first.

The next morning, Alice and Georgina bargained with Hobert again, but this time Hobert was very tough, because if the Loen royal family did not agree now, when Backlund was surrounded, he would be able to This group of teachers and students coaxed and tricked their way to the South Balam Principality.

In the end, the Kingdom of Loen had no choice but to agree to Hobert's conditions, and the two sides continued to discuss specific cooperation plans.

…

In the Sea of ​​Mist, the "Trunsoest Empire" sailed on the vast sea as usual.

The crew members drank wine, basked in the sun, and chatted about endless topics.

Because of the curse, they were unable to leave the ship, and all the wine and food were provided by Hobert.

The crew members were very grateful to Hobert for food and drink, but Hobert refused to provide them with women from beginning to end. For this reason, they had to chase and imprison some Janna.

In the captain's room, the pale Serbia looked at the wine glass on the table in a daze, thinking about something.

The delicious wine in front of him had been sitting on the table for more than an hour, but he hadn't taken a sip.

At this time, the space in the captain's cabin suddenly became illusory, and Hobert came out of the spirit world.

Serbia was stunned for a moment, and then immediately gave up the captain's seat: "Please sit down."

Hobert sat in the captain's seat, looked at Serbia and smiled: "You should have noticed that I have been promoted to Sequence 2."

"Yes." Serbia said respectfully: "Congratulations."

Hobert crossed his legs and said, "Are you very surprised why Trunsoest didn't come back to life in me?"

He smiled and said: "You think I don't know? Isn't it because you sensed that Trunsoest was likely to be resurrected in my body that you so happily pledged your allegiance to me?"

Serbia was briefly surprised, but said nothing.

"What I want to tell you is that Trunsoest is indeed resurrected." Hobert continued: "It's just in another body."

He stared at Serbia and said jokingly: "Are you disappointed? The person you have been loyal to has been resurrected for so long, but he has never come to rescue you?"

Serbia still didn't say anything, but his expression became ugly.

Hobert had no intention of letting him go anymore: "But what makes you really desperate may be that because of the torture of the curse, no one on the crew is willing to be loyal to Trunsoest anymore.

"In the end, you discovered that this giant ship of the empire really wants to be loyal to me and become part of the power of the 'founder'."

Serbia asked coldly: "Are you really a member of the Trunsoest family?"

Hobert spread his hands and asked, "Is it important to talk about this now?"

"Of course it is important!" Serbia shouted: "For the glory of the family, every Trunsoest must be ready to sacrifice his life at any time! But you treat the great Night Emperor as an enemy!"

Hobert smiled and said, "Sorry, that era is over."

Then He immediately changed his face and said very seriously: "Serbia, your words just now were very rude. Are you going to break the oath you made?"

Serbia opened his mouth, but finally chose to kneel down on one knee: "I never wanted to break my oath!"

"Kneeling down so quickly, you must have something in your heart!" Hobert said coldly: "Are you planning to stabilize me first, and then you will lead the crew to mutiny as soon as I leave the Empire?"

"I..." Serbia then realized that Hobert was here to punish him today.

"Did I tell you about your plan?" Hobert stood up and said, "I knew you never intended to be truly loyal to me!"

After saying this, he waved his hand, and Serbia, who wanted to use his identity as captain to escape, immediately floated in the air, unable to move due to the accumulation of air around him.

"Since your performance has seriously violated the spirit of chivalry, you are now stripped of your position as captain of the Empire!" Hobert waved his hand again and "tampered" Serbia's crystal key that could control the Empire into his own hand. .

Serbia looked at Hobert coldly. He knew very well that even an angel could not kill him. He wanted to see how Hobert was going to end it.

After all, he is the only Sequence 3 on the current "Empire". If Hobert appoints a Sequence 3 other than the crew of the "Empire" as captain, it will only push the crew towards him.

But if other demigods on the ship are appointed as captains, as the only Sequence 3 on the ship, he is still the true captain of the ship.

Unexpectedly, Hobert said again: "And deprive you of the extraordinary characteristics of 'Chaos Hunter', and restore your curse from today on, you will have to endure the torture of death every day!"

Serbia opened her mouth wide: "You, you..."

After Hobert announced the verdict, he did not give Serbia any chance. He first used Mr. Azik's mark to lift the pardon from his curse, making him die once a day again.

Then Hobert reached out and squeezed hard, and the huge pressure of the air squeezed Serbia's head, causing him to die tragically in the captain's cabin.

At this time, Hobert immediately entered the "State of Disorder", put on a gorgeous crown, and projected tremendous power through his own stars, "amplifying" Serbia's "state of death" and temporarily "tampering" with the curse on Serbia. Physical influences.

This makes it more like Serbia is truly dead.

Whether it is the real world or the spiritual world, they have temporarily ignored the "Pluto Emperor" curse and "determined" that Serbia is truly dead.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hobert immediately used the ability to "exploit", allowing Serbia's extraordinary characteristics to condense instantly.

Hobert, who was sitting on the "Iron Throne", took off his crown and breathed a sigh of relief. Before that, he had no idea whether this method would work.

After all, He has not yet accommodated the uniqueness and is unable to substantively operate on the curse of the "Emperor of Hades", so he can only use this tricky method to "take out" the extraordinary characteristics from Serbia's body.

If this method fails, Hobert can only use the power of the "State of Disorder" to seal Serbia's extraordinary power to a certain extent, causing him to lose his Sequence 3 level and extraordinary abilities most of the time.

However, such a punishment obviously did not directly deprive him of his extraordinary characteristics, and was more of a deterrent to the crew.

Returning to the real world, Hobert first picked up the extraordinary characteristics of the "Chaos Hunter", then called several officers in and read out Serbia's charges and his punishment.

The officers were indeed shocked to learn that Serbia had been deprived of its extraordinary characteristics.

In the officer's concept, because of the curse, even if Serbia is killed, he is not truly dead, so his extraordinary characteristics will not be released.

Since Hobert has obtained Serbia's extraordinary characteristics, it means that he just prayed for a power similar to that of the "Emperor of the Underworld"!

The officers looked at Serbia with his head squeezed open and were filled with emotion. It is conceivable that after he is resurrected tomorrow, he will suddenly lose control and die due to the sudden loss of his extraordinary characteristics. It will not be until the day after tomorrow that Serbia can be resurrected and become a normal person. Every day All suffer from the fear and pain caused by death.

Hobert gave everyone enough time to be shocked before he asked them to gather the entire crew and elect a new captain on the deck.

In the end, officer Ivli was elected as the new captain, and Hobert gave him the crystal key symbolizing the captain's authority in public. Then Hobert asked everyone to be ready to attack at any time.

The crew members dispersed in cheers. Fighting meant they could leave the Sea of ​​Mist and take a look at the outside world.

They had no fear of dying in battle, because no matter how badly they died in the war, they would come back to life on the deck the next day.

Hobert chatted with Ivli alone for a few words, and then asked casually: "I heard that there is still a lot of space on the Empire that has not been used?"
