Ugh…
The ancient death god's corpse let out another strange cry, opening its mouth to spew a mouthful of black flames.
These flames spread across the ground like spilled water, instantly dyeing the surrounding, unextinguished fires with an ink-like color.
Larrion, who hadn't managed to escape far enough, was immediately covered in the black flames, along with his twilight colors.
Larrion's body rapidly aged, his skin quickly becoming covered in wrinkles and age spots, oozing rotten liquid. In the blink of an eye, he aged to the point of almost vanishing.
Then, he truly turned into rotten liquid and completely evaporated.
At the same time, Larrion's blurred figure, draped in twilight colors, appeared outside the palace, beyond the range of the sealed artifact.
Immediately afterward, that blurred figure completely disappeared, instantly appearing in the spirit world. The blurred figure quickly solidified and eventually returned to normal.
Holding the "Brass Book," he strode swiftly through the spirit world, quickly fleeing the Feynapotter Kingdom.
Larrion escaped, but around the area where he had just fled, several saints and some unfortunate Beyonders caught in the black flames suffered. Amidst their painful screams, they either lost control and transformed into monsters, or were "ordered," their Beyonder characteristics forcibly separated from them. They first became ordinary people, then suffered severe corruption, dying in agony.
Or they were directly turned into undead creatures.
Even the saints were not spared.
...
At the edge of the battlefield, Hobert emerged from the "Nation of Disorder," with Hunter having caught up and waiting by his side.
Hobert said, "There should be some Beyonder characteristics outside. You can take one or two as a reward for this summoning."
"No," Hant suddenly said, "I still don't want a reward this time. I only hope you'll promise me one thing."
"What is it?"
"Help me find my Beyonder characteristic!" Hunter suddenly looked outside, nonsensically saying, "I just saw Larrion. He's an angel now!"
There was no time to ask for details. Hobert immediately agreed, "No problem. We'll talk in detail when we have time."
Hunter nodded, ending the summoning.
Hobert wiped away the altar on the ground with his foot and immediately ran out of the palace.
Just before exiting, his spirituality warned him to walk with his head down, only looking at his feet, and never raising his gaze.
After walking a few steps, Hobert saw Christian, who was also looking at the ground. He excitedly asked, "Where did it come from?"
Hobert told the truth, "This is the sealed artifact from the ruins in the suburbs of Backlund!"
"Good, good, good!" Christian spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm in his excitement.
Hobert quickly supported him. "Let's get out of here!"
Even at the edge of the battlefield, even without being attacked by the ancient death god's corpse, Hobert felt his spiritual body being crushed by immense pressure.
The two supported each other, struggling to walk out.
At this moment, the group of irritable old men in the air also reacted: they were scared, scared, and quickly ran away!
...
William I hesitated, rationally giving up the idea of attacking the weakened Philip I, and continued to run with his family members.
He could feel that the giant bird had a strong "power of order," which felt like an insurmountable mountain blocking his path.
Other angels also began to retreat. Helpers at the angel level, such as Awatoma, also began to retreat.
Especially Awatoma, although He knew Alexei would be fine, He still had to quickly find a way to guide Alexei back.
The ancient death god's corpse began to chase the angels. At this moment, a dense layer of vines suddenly grew around it. The vines clung to its corpse, quickly covering it and forming a small green hill.
Pope Roland of the Earth Mother Church took action. Unlike Larrion, the people of the Feynapotter Kingdom were basically all believers of the Earth Mother. She certainly couldn't allow the ancient death god's corpse to wreak havoc on this land.
However, the green vines quickly became stained with a layer of black. Immediately afterward, a layer of yellow liquid quickly covered the already blackened vines. Some vines grew eyes and feathers with yellow, viscous liquid.
An aura of extreme fear quickly spread, even the angels were shocked by this aura.
At this moment, the ancient death god was the underworld!
The brand of the underworld quickly covered this land. The bricks in the ruins turned into stones emitting a pale white light, and all the creatures around began to grow feathers with mysterious patterns similar to those on the ancient death god.
Large trees rose from the ground, blocking the spreading pale white light, but these dense forests of trees were crumbling, on the verge of being pushed over.
At this moment, Chester, radiating silver light, appeared between the trees and the ancient death god's corpse. The pale white light on the ground was neutralized by the silver light, and many white stones turned back into bricks in the ruins.
The circle of trees finally managed to block the spread of the pale white light.
Roland seized the opportunity and grabbed fiercely towards the ancient death god's corpse. All the vines, whether mutated or not, quickly withered.
The spirituality, power, life, and nutrients in that area quickly disappeared. Soon, the area was filled with desolation.
Roland could feel that this god-like existence was supported by a force. As long as that force was absorbed, it might return to the spirit world on its own.
Ugh…
But the ancient death god's corpse showed no signs of weakening. It broke through Roland's seal, and was about to gaze at Roland to send this annoying fellow away, but Chester stood in front of him: "Banishment!"
Chester also did not expect that his "banishment" seemed to have hit an iron wall. The angel-level "banishment" not only did not push the ancient death god's corpse away, but Chester took several steps back.
The ancient death god's corpse, breaking through the seal, suddenly opened its wings. The mysterious patterns on its wings suddenly flowed, forming an abstract giant bird pattern. This pattern was not particularly beautiful, but it made people unable to look away.
Chester stared blankly at the pattern for a few seconds, and an unprecedented coldness swept through his body. He had long forgotten what cold felt like.
Suddenly, he realized something was wrong. His and Roland's spirit bodies were separating from their bodies, uncontrollably walking towards the pattern under the wings of the ancient death god's corpse step by step.
Chester began to struggle, but he despairingly found that he could not control his spiritual body at all.
How could he prevent his spirit body from advancing towards the end of all living souls? How could he stop the process of death?
Fortunately, a film-like structure suddenly appeared in front of the two angels, separating them from the space of the ancient death god's corpse.
The two angels seemed to have come back to life, but they still felt stiff and trembled, unable to exert any strength.
They looked aside and saw Philip I, whose condition was not good, covering his chest with one hand and using the silver sword in the other to separate them from the enemy.
At this moment, the ancient death god's corpse suddenly rushed forward, directly breaking through Philip I's separation. It flapped its wings, and the three angels in front of it were blown away.
One of these three angels was not in good condition, and the other two still seemed to be in an ice cave, stiff, so they failed to dodge the blow of the wings.
Even the bodies at the angel level were torn apart by this blow.
Drops of blood fell on the ground, causing different reactions in the surrounding ground.
Roland's blood caused the surrounding ground to quickly grow clusters of plants. These plants had flowers and grass, as if a flower bed had suddenly grown.
Then the plants quickly withered, rotted into soil, and then began the growth process again.
Before the spirituality of this drop of blood was exhausted, it would keep repeating this process of growth, blooming, and withering.
Philip I's blood caused the bricks, vegetation, limbs, etc. on a small piece of ground to come to life, spontaneously gathering together and piling up into several piles. Each pile spontaneously began to do a more detailed classification.
This was visible ordering. The temperature, humidity, oxygen content, etc. in that small area were changing.
The effect of Chester's blood was similar to Philip I's blood, but the range was smaller.
They struggled to get up, preparing to continue to block the ancient death god's corpse.
But suddenly found that the ancient death god's corpse was flapping its wings, it was about to fly out of the palace, out of the range of the sealed artifact!
The three angels were somewhat desperate. Feynapotter City would disappear from the map today!
...
Hobert felt that this was the most difficult trek in his life.
The immense pressure from behind made every step he took very difficult. The saints of the Storm Church in the air were also forced to fall to the ground.
Gaard II waved his hand, creating a gust of wind that blew several saints and the Hobert father and son out of the palace.
The hurricane threw Hobert around as if his whole body was falling apart. He struggled several times to sit up from the ground, supporting Christian, who was about to faint, and preparing to use "Travel" to leave.
Suddenly, Hobert felt something. He looked at the sky where the dark clouds had completely dispersed, as if infinite vitality was descending from the sky.
But Hobert had no time to think about it, and took Christian into the spirit world.
...
In the palace, just as the three angels were desperate, the ground suddenly trembled slightly.
They looked at the ground, as if some huge force was about to drill out.
Whoosh~
A huge bud emerged from the ground. The bud initially appeared light green, with two cotyledon-like leaves on top.
The three angels present were stunned: This is a... bean plant?
But it was too big, several times thicker and taller than towering trees.
The "bean sprout" grew rapidly, growing layers of leaves upwards. The branches that grew out were like ropes, entangling one leg of the ancient death god's corpse.
The three angels finally recognized that this was a beanstalk!
It grew rapidly, quickly binding the entire ancient death god's corpse.
Then the earth seemed to give this "beanstalk" immense power, pulling it down, and the ancient death god's corpse was dragged back to the ground.
Ugh…
The ancient death god's corpse spat out a mouthful of black flames at the "beanstalk." The "beanstalk" was burned off and quickly withered.
But immediately afterward, three more "beanstalks" grew out of the earth, firmly entangling the ancient death god's corpse.
At this time, the three angels next to them noticed that the volume of the giant bird in front of them was shrinking, which made them immediately realize: The power supporting this existence was about to run out, or that power was almost consumed by the Earth Mother with "beanstalks."
That's right, they could clearly feel that just now, the Earth Mother had completed the process of divine descent.
Regardless of the reason, the ancient death god's corpse was still shrinking, and was finally pressed to the ground by three huge "beanstalks."
Whoosh~
The earth cracked open, and the huge figure that had wreaked havoc in Alhambra Palace completely disappeared.
The three angels looked at each other, and then looked together at the palace that had almost completely become ruins. Only Ethel and some other survivors were fighting against the undead creatures.
Philip I sat on the ruins and suddenly smiled: "Failed."
Not only did he fail, but although his chest had healed, a lingering black spot appeared.
In theory, angels can block the corruption of the "Nation of Disorder," but if they actively "open their arms and welcome corruption," they will still be corrupted by the "Nation of Disorder."
At the same time, in an uninhabited valley in the western suburbs of Feynapotter City, three huge "beanstalks" suddenly grew out of the ground.
The three "beanstalks" tightly Chained something that looked like a giant bird. The greater the power inside the ancient death god's corpse, the faster it dissipated.
At this time, although it was still struggling, its size was only two-thirds of its original size.
The three "beanstalks" grew bigger and bigger, as if to soar into the sky!
No matter how the "giant bird" struggled, the leaves that looked a bit like palms completely covered the ancient death god's corpse, and then layers of soybeans grew on the outside, and then layers of golden wheat grew on the outside.
Finally, there was a layer of vines with beautiful flowers, and all the plants filled the entire valley.
Except for the more lush vegetation, there was nothing different here from anywhere else.
...
In the wilderness of the suburbs of Backlund, the figures of the Hobert father and son rolled out of the spirit world.
Hobert lay on the weeds, looking at the sky and suddenly laughed, the laughter getting louder and louder, and finally turned into a burst of laughter!
Just now, he had successfully prevented Philip I's intention. The uniqueness of the "Justiciar" pathway was completely corrupted by the "Nation of Disorder." Except for him, unless there was support from the Outer Deities, no one else would want to accommodate that uniqueness!
After laughing a few times, Hobert felt that there was no comfortable place from his spirit body to his physical body.
Originally, only his spirit body suffered injuries, but that final blow from the "Hot-Tempered Bro" almost caused Hobert to suffer internal bleeding from the fall.
However, Hobert was still grateful for that blow, because at that time, his legs already felt cramped, and he couldn't take another step.
Even if it was just the corpse of an ancient death god, the pressure it emitted couldn't compare to that of a true god, but it was still god-level pressure. As a Sequence 5, it was already good enough that he didn't directly kneel on the ground.
Hobert rested for a while before sitting up to check on Klein.
Christian's spirit was also much better than before, but his wound was still so gruesome and still bleeding.
Just as Hobert was about to use "Healing", Christian reached out to stop him: "This is a wound caused by an angel; the order at the wound has collapsed, and ordinary 'Healing' is useless."
Although he was resurrected, some of the injuries that Chester had inflicted on him remained.
Only then did Hobert realize that Klein's injury was very serious this time: "Then what should we do?"
Christian didn't answer, as if the question had stumped him.
In fact, this question wasn't that difficult, but he didn't want to reveal the answer just yet: the Earth Mother Church definitely had a solution.
However, they had just fought with the Earth Mother Church, so of course, they had to wait and see before trying to contact them.
Fortunately, Christian was already a demigod, and although the wound was difficult to heal, he wouldn't die anytime soon.
Christian took off his tattered coat and took out some bandages from his "pocket".
While Hobert was helping with the bandaging, Christian smiled helplessly: "In the morning, I was putting on an act of being injured; I didn't expect to be really injured so soon!"
After covering up the gruesome wound, Klein changed into a new set of clothes. From the outside, except for being a little pale and missing a finger, he didn't seem to be injured.
Hobert took out the fruit that could create a hidden space, as well as the "Secrets Sorcerer" Beyonder characteristic.
"They're all yours now," Christian said with a smile. "Consider it a reward for your performance in this battle!
"Well, if anyone asks about this Beyonder characteristic, just say you lost it in the battle. I think with your contributions today, no one will continue to ask.
"In addition, you will definitely get the title of Earl. I'll discuss with the royal family to see if I can get you a fief.
"But even if you have a fief, don't expect it to be in the Northern Continent."
A smile also appeared on Hobert's face. It seemed that the harvest this time was really not small.
"Next, I'll lead the way," Christian said. "Let's go and meet up with Dophis and the others!"
The father and son entered the Spirit World again and soon appeared in a Loen royal family manor.
Mona, who had arrived earlier, saw that although the father and son were very tired and their spirits weren't very good, they didn't seem to have suffered any serious injuries, so she was relieved.
...
Feynapotter Kingdom, Source of Life.
Pope Roland personally held a ceremony to pray to the Earth Mother for strength to heal the corruption suffered by several demigods in the previous battle at the altar.
As the Pope, the relevant rituals held by Roland could directly communicate with the Mother Goddess. The oracle obtained in this way did not need to be confirmed by the Blessed.
Unfortunately, only the three angels in the church could use this method.
After this kind-faced Pope finished chanting the honorable name and the spell of supplication, a rich life aura suddenly appeared on the altar. The altar was immediately covered with golden wheat, soybeans full of fruit, and sweet potatoes with long green vines.
In the center of the altar, a virtual light sphere appeared. This light sphere emitted a sacred light, and there seemed to be a holy figure in the rich light.
Several demigods were completely prostrate on the ground, and Roland had already knelt on one knee, lowering Her head and saying: "Loving Mother, you saved the entire Feynapotter City today, and the believers will always remember your benevolence.
"But I still can't figure out what kind of enemy we faced today?"
A sacred female voice appeared on the altar: "That was the corpse of an ancient death god, but it was used by people with ulterior motives. It has now been sealed by me."
Roland thought to Herself: As expected, it is a god-level opponent.
She respectfully said again: "Praise your power!
"In this battle, the five bishops who participated in the battle were corrupted to varying degrees. I pray that the Mother will once again show your power and help them through this crisis."
But that sacred voice said: "Go find Hobert!"
Everyone was stunned. Except for Gabriel, everyone was wondering who Hobert was?
Roland thought for a while. Among the Beyonders, in the entire Northern Continent, there was indeed no big figure named this name: "Great Mother, who is Hobert?"
"He caused the trouble, let him solve it himself." Then, the light sphere in the center of the altar disappeared, and the surrounding wheat, soybeans, and other crops also disappeared.
Roland immediately understood that the Mother's oracle must have a clear direction. She stood up and said to the demigods behind him: "Go and inquire about Hobert's information."
"Your Highness," Archbishop Gabriel said, "I know this Hobert."
Then he briefly described Hobert's friendship with the Blessed Utravsky, as well as Hobert and Simpson's recent actions against the demon forces, and of course, Hobert's delivery of the "Hunter" Beyonder characteristic the day before yesterday.
In other churches, the Pope and the Pontiff refer to the same person, but the Earth Mother Church is not the same. The Pope is the Pope, and basically sits in the "Source of Life".
The Pontiff is more like the "Foreign Affairs Pope". Generally, Roland comes forward for any external actions.
Roland knew about two of the three things Gabriel mentioned. After all, the battle in the Southern Colson area alarmed the Pope, and the Pope rarely took action to help clean up the mess.
Afterwards, Roland, who had other things to deal with at the time, heard a brief report from Her subordinates.
The church also routinely reported to Roland when it obtained a useful demigod-level Beyonder characteristic.
However, such reports were very brief, and even omitted Hobert's name.
Roland nodded and said to Gabriel: "Then I'll leave this matter to you. Go contact Hobert and help your colleagues solve the corruption they've suffered."
"Yes!"
...
Feynapotter Kingdom, Jeffery Territory.
For safety's sake, Fors simply hid in Baron Felix's mansion on the west coast.
Baron Felix tactfully went to stay at his manor temporarily.
But Fors found it difficult to sit still in the Baron's mansion. Several times she came to the mountain to look out at the town of Jeffery on the other side.
This mountain is behind the Baron's mansion. Climbing to the middle of the mountain, you can see the Taz River and most of the town of Jeffery.
Being able to see the town of Jeffery at this time was a great comfort to Fors.
Fortunately, in the afternoon, Hobert's messenger delivered a letter.
Fors quickly opened it and read it. When she read "I have arrived in a safe place," she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the following content, Hobert first reminded Fors not to continue living in the lord's mansion, and immediately move to the Earth Mother Church's church, or live on the west coast.
Fors smiled slightly: I had already thought of this.
Although she is now the lord's wife, the vigilance she developed in Backlund is still there.
Then Hobert briefly said a few words about the encounters in Feynapotter City, focusing on telling Fors that their previous treason was to complete the Loen royal family's mission, and now the mission has been completed, and he has returned to Backlund.
Fors was a little worried: What about Jeffery Territory? What about the people who followed us here?
Fortunately, in the letter later, Hobert explained that the three companies have now been protected by the Earth Mother Church. The royal family will at most send people to try to take back the governance, but there is no need to worry, because Hobert has already issued relevant orders to Conrad and the others, so Fors doesn't need to worry about it.
Fors knew about Hobert's establishment of those three companies.
In fact, Fors is still in the territory now to stabilize people's hearts. As long as she is there, everyone can work with peace of mind.
At the end of the letter, Hobert said that he would not be able to return to the territory for a few days, and asked Fors to go to Bishop Simpson if she encountered any difficulties. This bishop is now a demigod.
The stone in Fors's heart finally landed, but Hobert did not explain in detail what he had experienced today in the letter, which made Fors start to worry about whether Hobert was injured.
She wrote a reply, asked the messenger to send it out, and after paying for the donuts, it was time for the Tarot Gathering.
Arriving above the gray fog, in the giant-like hall.
When "Justice" Audrey began to greet everyone, everyone realized that "Emperor" was absent from this gathering again.
Audrey, who began to greet, was not as calm as last time: Hobert wouldn't have been involved in the Feynapotter City incident, would he?
She quickly looked at Fors and judged from her body language and vague expressions that Fors was a little worried but not anxious.
Finally, Audrey concluded: Hobert was indeed involved in that incident, but he had escaped danger.
She breathed a slight sigh of relief and continued to greet.
"Hanged Man" Alger pinched his chin and pondered: "Emperor" has been frequently absent from the Tarot Gathering during this period. Could he be busy with something big? Alas, when will Mr. Fool give me an important task? Hehe, let's work hard to improve myself first.
Fors looked at the empty seat and fell into deep thought: "Emperor" did not participate in the gathering again, and did not...
Although the others had some ideas, they didn't pay much attention to it. After all, "Emperor" had been absent once the week before last week, which was not new.
After Audrey finished greeting, she tried her best to calm her emotions and let herself patiently wait for Mr. Fool's reading time to end. After two more rounds of transactions, she finally came to the free exchange session.
She looked very calm on the surface: "I got a message at noon that something big happened in the capital of the Feynapotter Kingdom today!"
Cattelya recalled: "Today seems to be the founding day of the Feynapotter Kingdom. Was there a stampede?"
Fors sat up straight and listened carefully to Miss Justice's narration, because she realized that Hobert must have participated in this matter!
"No!" Audrey said: "It is said that there was a fierce Beyonder battle in the royal palace, and the entire Alhambra Palace has basically become a ruin!"
Everyone was a little surprised, especially Fors: Hobert said it so lightly in the letter, I thought it was just an assassination! Did they blow up the palace while assassinating Ferdinand II?
Emlyn asked curiously: "Miss Justice, are there any more detailed information? It sounds like there was a very high-level Beyonder battle."
Audrey smiled and said: "I don't know too much detailed information either. I only know that the Castiya family suffered heavy losses!"
Now the Loen meeting is discussing whether to take the opportunity to send troops?
However, Earl Hall believes that the civil service examination is about to begin, and some reforms in the past two years have reached a critical moment, so it is not suitable to start a war at this time.
However, Audrey did not intend to announce this information about the Loen Kingdom's parliament unless others asked.
Audrey added: "The details of this matter will be published in major newspapers tomorrow, and everyone will know what happened then."
Klein behind the gray fog said to himself: Involving such Beyonder events, especially such high-end Beyonder events, you will definitely not see the truth from the newspaper, but you can see a story written by reporters.
Because there was no "Emperor" to trade information, this Tarot Gathering was very short.
After Fors returned to the real world, she paced back and forth anxiously. Fortunately, around half past three, Hobert's letter was delivered again.
She didn't have time to get the scissors, so she simply tore open the envelope herself and pulled out the letter with two fingers.
This time Hobert said it in more detail in the letter, but Hobert only said that his task was to find the Sealed Artifact, but his task failed, and he summoned a helper to escape.
Hobert did not mention what happened afterwards, only saying that he ran all the way and met Klein, and the two escaped together.
Fors thought about it with the letter and it was right. If a royal palace could be turned into ruins, then it must be a demigod-level battle. Hobert must have been wandering on the edge of the battlefield to successfully escape, which also proved that he did not participate in the most intense battle!
At this time, Fors suddenly felt something, she quickly went up the mountain and looked again in the direction of Jeffery Territory.
As soon as she reached the middle of the mountain, Fors saw someone suddenly appearing in the sky above Jeffery Town.
Archibald and its Marionettes, who were far behind, immediately walked two steps quickly: "Madam, please come back with me. If you continue to look out, it will be easily detected by the other party."
Fors picked up the telescope and saw that Bishop Simpson appeared in time, so she let go of her heart and followed Archibald back to the Baron's mansion.
...
In the sky above Jeffery Town, the sudden appearance of Buck Castiya was seen by many people.
He shouted loudly in mid-air: "In the name of the king: revoke all of Hobert's titles and rewards. From today on, I am the chief administrator of the entire Southern Colson area!
"Now I order you to arrest Hobert's family and confidants..."
Before he could finish speaking, Bishop Simpson, who had rushed from the church, said from afar: "Councilor Buck, I didn't expect to see you here."
Buck sensed the aura emanating from Simpson and suddenly realized that Simpson was also a demigod!
Buck descended from mid-air and said politely, "Bishop Simpson, it's wonderful to have you here. This will bring many conveniences to my future work!"
He thought as he spoke: When did Simpson become a demigod? How did I not receive any news? I hope he doesn't interfere with my upcoming purge.
The King was furious upon learning that Christian and Hobert were traitors. Christian's family had already fled. In a fit of rage, the King killed several of Christian's close colleagues to vent his anger!
At the same time, amidst his busy schedule, he ordered Buck to the South Colson area. It would be best if he could find Hobert's family, but if not, he should kill all of Hobert's confidants and take over the governance of the South Colson area.
"This place is a little different from other places," Simpson said with a smile.
Buck was taken aback: "How is it different?"
Simpson didn't answer directly but said, "Let me take you to the Lord's Manor first!"
The way to the Lord's Manor led through the relatively bustling Jeffrey Town street, and it was the time when people were getting off work, so there were many people on the street.
Buck's sudden appearance in mid-air had given everyone a great shock, so the people on the street couldn't help but pay attention to the newcomer's every move.
This was exactly the result Buck wanted. Only by intimidating these farmers and workers and keeping the people of South Colson in a state of fear would they obey him.
Before he came, he had inquired about the intelligence here, knowing that a demigod here was enough to scare all the Beyonders in the territory, so he didn't have time to bring his staff and subordinates and rushed to see if there was a chance to catch Hobert's family.
Buck estimated that after his shout just now, the news would spread throughout Jeffrey Territory tonight.
Everyone knows that after Hobert's title is revoked, many people will come to inform on him, and Hobert's confidants will be spontaneously escorted to him.
Of course, this was Buck's misunderstanding of Jeffrey Territory. He didn't know that Hobert had already included the east bank of South Colson and most of the west bank in his territory.
In addition, meeting Simpson as soon as he arrived in Jeffrey Town made Buck a little suspicious of the accuracy of his intelligence.
At this time, a young man on the street boldly asked, "May I ask, why was the Baron's title revoked?"
"He is no longer a Baron," Buck said, exuding an aura of majesty, "He attempted to assassinate the King! He is an unforgivable criminal!"
Buck's majesty made the young man who asked the question lower his head, not daring to say anything more.
Buck pursed his lips and smiled. He was about to move forward when he clearly heard someone behind him say, "Damn King, it was just an attempted assassination, not a real assassination. Why revoke the Baron's title?"
Bishop Simpson quickly smiled and said, "They're just joking, don't take it seriously!"
"Can such words be said as a joke?" Buck turned around to kill someone to establish his authority.
Bishop Simpson pulled him and said, "Let's go, let's go, look, that's the Lord's Manor."
Buck struggled twice but couldn't break free, so he had to follow. Otherwise, it would greatly affect his prestige if everyone saw him being dragged away by Simpson.
The two quickly arrived at the gate of the Lord's Manor. Buck stepped forward and kicked the door open: "Everyone inside, come out with me!"
It was already dark, and there wasn't a single light in the entire Lord's Manor, which looked inexplicably desolate.
Only two yellow dogs were frightened and "woo-wooed" before running away with their tails between their legs.
Buck was stunned: "Where are the people here?"
"They all fled with Hobert!" Simpson said.
"Well, people can escape, but the properties here can't escape!" Buck sneered, "All of Hobert's assets have been confiscated!"
"Okay, this Lord's Manor is yours."
Buck seemed to realize something was wrong: "What do you mean? Those construction sites under construction..."
"Those are the assets of a real estate company!" Simpson said.
"That real estate company must be..."
Simpson interrupted again: "It was opened by devout and friendly believers of the Earth Mother Church. Ah, coincidentally, I brought the relevant documents signed by the Pope."
As he spoke, he held up a document and waved it in front of Buck.
Buck sneered: "Do you know what this means?"
"It means that the King will not create conflicts with the Earth Mother Church over such trivial matters," Simpson said indifferently.
Buck wanted to say something, but suddenly felt a little unsure, because the failure at the Alhambra Palace today forced the royal family to rely on the Earth Mother Church for a long time to come.
He took a deep breath: "Then I have to symbolically confiscate some property and kill a few of Hobert's confidants to appease the King. You have to give me an explanation."
Simpson pointed to the Lord's Manor: "Isn't this your explanation! Indeed, only this Lord's Manor is under the Lord's name."
"And Hobert only had those two dogs as his subordinates, but unfortunately, they were scared away by you just now!"
Buck clenched his fists: "Is there anyone who takes dogs as subordinates?"
"Yes, there are."
"Who?"
"Hobert!"
"I..." Buck raised his fist but then lowered it.
Because he saw that many people were coming towards the Lord's Manor with lanterns.
Buck sneered: "The people who are reporting Hobert's confidants are here! I don't need Bishop Simpson's help, I can find them myself."
Simpson smiled slightly and said nothing.
Buck stood at the gate of the Lord's Manor, waiting for the people with lanterns to arrive.
But he soon realized something was wrong, because there were too many people coming.
So Buck said, "I know how you feel now. Don't worry, as long as you tell me some of Hobert's confidants, subordinates, or subjects who have received Hobert's favor, the King will pardon your sins."
"Speak one by one, don't worry, you all have a chance!"
But everyone just stood there quietly, holding lanterns and looking at Buck, making Buck take a step back slightly: "Speak one by one, who wants to speak first?"
A middle-aged man stepped forward: "May I ask, where is the Baron now?"
Buck was stunned for a moment before he realized that the "Baron" he was referring to was Hobert: "He has defected!"
Then Buck once again used his power to make himself look full of majesty, not allowing any provocation: "Hobert is no longer a Baron!"
Everyone was forced by Buck's majesty to lower their heads and take a few steps back, but in the process of retreating, someone still asked, "Why would the Baron try to assassinate the King for no reason?"
"Yes, it must be the King's problem!"
Buck had already become murderous: "I think you are all Hobert's confidants."
