Buck was somewhat exasperated: "Didn't you hear what I said? They have no regard for the law, no regard for the King!"
Simpson smiled: "Of course, they have no regard for the King. This place was abandoned by the royal family for over fifty years, yet it has prospered rapidly under Hobert's management."
"Tell me, what's wrong with them doing this?"
Buck took another step back, encountering such a question for the first time.
Finally, Buck closed the door of the Lord's manor, looking at the empty building alone. He didn't expect that he would eventually compromise with these unruly commoners!
Buck seriously suspected that these people were either hypnotized or psychologically manipulated by Hobert using extraordinary powers, or that their spiritual bodies were simply destroyed, turning them into soulless puppets who only knew how to be loyal to Hobert.
Yes, it must be so!
Buck had seen people whose spiritual bodies were eroded by evil organizations, as crazy and fearless as the people outside.
Outside the door, Bishop Simpson loudly said to everyone: "Don't worry, everyone, Hobert will be fine. Go back, we still have work to do tomorrow!"
If Hobert had died in Feynapotter, he would have already received the news.
After calming the crowd and sending them back, Simpson returned to the church. He was about to pray at the Life Symbol when he suddenly sensed something. He saw a black horse pass through the church window, but the glass on the window didn't break because the black horse was a spirit world creature.
Simpson stroked the black horse's mane and took the letter tube off its back. Then, the black horse disappeared into the church.
This was a messenger from his superior, Gabriel. Opening the letter in the tube, Simpson was slightly stunned by the content: "Contact Hobert?"
...
Tuesday morning, Xio, as usual, rode her newly bought bicycle to do a task.
Just as she wiped the seat, she heard the newsboy shouting: "Extra, extra! Loen spies, father and son, raid Feynapotter City! Hobert secretly planted explosives and blew up the Alhambra Palace!"
Xio was slightly stunned and quickly said to the newsboy: "Give me one!"
Because she was too excited, she took out two extra pennies when paying: "Keep the extra."
Saying this, she couldn't wait to read the contents of the newspaper.
After thanking her, the newsboy continued to sell newspapers loudly.
Xio saw the headline on the front page: The Christian father and son turned out to be pretending to surrender!
The subtitle was: They almost assassinated Ferdinand II!
She stood in front of her bicycle and read quickly. The general content of the report was: Christian and Hobert received a secret mission from the King to assassinate Ferdinand II.
So, the royal family staged a play with Christian, making it seem as if Christian was being ostracized, which eventually led to the defection that shocked the Northern Continent more than half a year ago!
During that incident, a Prince was actually assassinated by a Feynapotter spy. In order to allow Christian and his team to better complete the assassination mission, the blame was placed on them.
After more than half a year of planning, Christian and Hobert launched their attack on Feynapotter National Day, but unfortunately, the assassination failed. However, the bombs planted by Hobert destroyed a large number of palaces in the Alhambra Palace, killing and wounding many nobles and officials, and achieved amazing results.
Xio looked up: Am I still dreaming?
She clenched the newspaper and was stunned for a few minutes before she seemed to suddenly realize something and ran back to her rented house quickly.
Arriving at Fors's bedroom door, Xio injected spirituality into her hand as she turned the handle. Opening the door, she saw Jeffrey's Territory, with its exotic architectural features, and the mansion of Baron Felix.
At this time, Fors on the bed was already awake, but she was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling in a daze, with no intention of getting up.
"Fors, where's Hobert?" Xio rushed in with the newspaper and asked.
Fors glanced at Xio lazily and tightened the collar of her pajamas: "He said in the letter that he has returned to Backlund."
Xio glanced at the newspaper again: "So, this is true? Hobert defected before in order to assassinate Ferdinand II?"
Fors took the newspaper and looked at it: "This report... That's right, the newspaper certainly can't report that there was a battle at the Saint level in Alhambra Palace yesterday!"
Xio was surprised again, but she immediately realized that the report in the newspaper was just a disguise: "Then what's the truth?"
Fors stretched hard and was still considering whether to get up now or wait a while: "Hobert said in the letter..."
She briefly described Hobert's letter from yesterday to her friend. Only then did Xio know that such a fierce battle had taken place in Alhambra Palace yesterday.
Then Xio realized: "So, you and Hobert are going back to Backlund?"
"He's going back to Backlund."
"You're not going back?"
"Xio, I'll take you to a place!"
Fors finally made up her mind: There's no way, I have to get up now.
She took Xio on a boat, bypassing Jeffrey Town. Along the way, Fors introduced the surrounding scenery to Xio.
Xio hadn't had time to appreciate the beauty of this place the previous few times she came to Jeffrey's Territory. Only now did she realize that the scenery on both sides of Full Moon Lake was quite beautiful, and both sides were under construction, looking full of vitality.
The two of them landed from a small port on the other side of the mountain. After arriving here, the scene was different from the west bank. The people working in the fields put down their work and greeted Fors: "Lady of the Territory!"
"Madam Baron!"
"Madam, is the Lord okay?"
Many people came to inquire about Hobert's situation, and Fors patiently explained to them that Hobert was safe.
After hearing the news that the Lord was safe, everyone was relieved and returned to the fields to continue working.
Xio sighed: "I didn't expect you to be so loved by the people."
"It's not that I'm loved," Fors smiled. "They love Hobert, and I'm just basking in the glory."
"If you keep walking forward from this valley, you'll know why they love Hobert."
Continuing forward, they came to the new territory that the King had just conferred to Hobert. Xio immediately felt the poverty and numbness here.
Xio finally understood that it was under Hobert's leadership that the people in the villages just now had become wealthy, which was why they loved Hobert so much.
They came all the way to a manor with beautiful meadows. At this time, the manor's buildings were being repaired and would not be habitable for some time.
But this still does not affect this beautiful, vibrant meadow.
Xio took a deep breath: "I've only seen such beautiful scenery in oil paintings."
Fors sat on the grass, looking fascinated: "The moment I saw the scenery here, I felt that this was the territory in my heart."
She smiled slightly: "But, Xio, in Hobert's eyes, this is just a place to rest."
Xio also sat next to Fors, seemingly understanding what her friend meant.
"I really like the life here," Fors smiled. "So, let me take care of Hobert's first territory. In Backlund, in Loen, there is a broader stage waiting for him."
"But it must be full of intrigue and deception. Whenever he is tired, he can come back and rest, and the door here will always be open for him."
Xio realized for the first time: Fors is a wife!
...
Outside Feynapotter City, in a luxurious royal manor.
Philip I, sitting in the darkness of the hall, breathed with a "whooshing" sound, as if suffering from severe bronchitis.
Ethel stood in the light in the hall, bowing her head and quietly waiting for Philip I to ponder.
Philip I said: "In other words, the one who summoned that giant bird was an existence called 'The Creator'?"
"That's what I guessed," Ethel said. "Last year, we received information about 'The Creator'. His forces defeated the 'Rose School' in the Southern Continent."
"It is said that there was a fierce battle at the Angel level at that time, and 'The Creator' personally took action to prevent the leader of the 'Rose School' from descending."
"And I inadvertently learned that Christian's son, Hobert, is a favored one of 'The Creator'. Could it be that Hobert asked 'The Creator' for help, and 'The Creator' sent that giant bird to the battlefield?"
Because she was in front of a "Hand of Order", Ethel was not worried that her secret report would be known to "The Creator". Moreover, she did not tell Philip I about her connection with "The Creator".
"Perhaps, the actions of the Hobert father and son were also authorized by 'The Creator'," Philip I said after a short silence. "At that time, I felt a lofty power, like the 'Black Emperor' and the 'Justiciar'."
He once served Solomon and later Trunsoest, so he was very familiar with the True Gods of these two pathways.
Philip I said: "'The Creator' probably doesn't want me to accommodate the Uniqueness either, but..."
But the state of this "Creator" is very strange. He can obviously corrupt the "Trunsoest Brass Book" and has a very high position.
But strangely, the Uniqueness of the "Black Emperor" and "Justiciar" pathways should not be with "The Creator".
This reminded Philip I of some words he heard from Trunsoest more than a thousand years ago about the Outer God named "Uncertain Mist": Could "The Creator" be an identity designed by "Uncertain Mist" to make it easier to descend power?
However, these intelligence could not be told to Ethel, so Philip I simply changed the subject after saying half of it: "Pay close attention to the relevant information about 'The Creator'."
"Yes," Ethel said, "Then the plan I just mentioned?"
Philip I coughed twice before smiling: "What a smart child, your analysis is also very reasonable, but I have to consider it again."
At the same time, He was also considering whether to let Ethel lead the Castiya family? He found that the family members were either indignant and wanted to retaliate against the Kingdom of Loen, or they were polluted and completely lost their fighting spirit. The princes were also very disappointed in their ideas in order to achieve their respective goals.
Only Ethel was still considering how to solve the problem.
...
Kingdom of Loen, East Chester County, in the Earl of Hall's manor.
Because it was far from the city, the newspaper was not delivered here until noon.
Audrey couldn't wait to open the newspaper. After taking a look, she shook her head: The palace was not destroyed by Hobert! This is covering up the truth!
She noticed that there was also a message at the end of the report: Hobert and Christian were commended by the King and will be conferred titles this Saturday. The father and son will also receive a hero's treatment, ride in the King's car into the city, and receive the welcome and cheers of the people.
Audrey suddenly realized: Hobert will return to Backlund as a nobleman!
Because there was no one else in the room, Susie asked with her tongue out: "Audrey, what makes you so happy?"
"A friend of mine is coming back," Audrey smiled. "Returning like a hero."
Speaking of this, she suddenly thought: "Father is going back to Backlund tomorrow, I want to go back with him to witness the moment Hobert is conferred the title."
After speaking, she put down the newspaper and left the room with a solemn expression as usual to talk to her father about this matter.
Susie sighed in the room: "It's a pity, I haven't played enough on the grass here."
...
Backlund, Cherwood Borough.
Jessica stood at the door of the law firm and finished reading the headline of the newspaper.
Then she smiled: "Lawyer Hobert is back!"
...
St. George Borough.
Melissa had already started her studies at Backlund Technical University. When she went downstairs for breakfast, she saw Benson staring at the newspaper: "What's the news today?"
"There's big news!" Benson raised the newspaper. "Hobert's previous defection turned out to be carrying out a secret mission for the King. Now Hobert has returned to Backlund, and it is said that the King will confer him a title."
Melissa was slightly stunned and leaned over to read a few sentences of the report: "This is indeed big news."
She planned to write to Elizabeth as soon as she got to school to tell her the news.
However, she believed that Elizabeth should have also seen this report.
...
Awwa County.
Ulysses hammered the table and laughed: "I said, Chief Christian must have his plan. After such a round trip, he will definitely be conferred the title of Duke!"
He walked back and forth in front of his desk happily for a few steps before going back to continue reading: Hobert must have played a significant role in this incident, otherwise this report would not have used so much space on him.
Ulysses suddenly thought: Isn't Elizabeth planning to apply for a university in Backlund? He could send her to Hobert to help take care of her. Young people should communicate and interact more.
...
On this day, the streets and alleys were shocked by the news in the newspapers.
Some people did not expect that the "traitor" who everyone was shouting to kill half a year ago was actually a national hero!
Some people did not expect that the royal family had planned such an amazing conspiracy.
Others envied the King's reward to the Hobert father and son, guessing what title they would get.
In short, today's report made Hobert once again receive the attention of the people of Loen, and this time the attention was even higher than last time, because the whole incident had a thought-provoking story and even had a certain legendary nature.
Often such characters are the easiest to be remembered by the people.
Hobert, who was recuperating at the royal manor outside the city, was unaware of these events. This morning, he received a letter from Bishop Simpson, stating that several demigods from the Church of the Earth Mother had suffered varying degrees of contamination during yesterday's battle and requesting Hobert's assistance in resolving the issue.
This slightly surprised Hobert: Why didn't they seek help from the Earth Mother?
Unbeknownst to Hobert, the saints of the Church of the Earth Mother had immediately sought help from the Mother, but the Mother's response was unexpected.
Roland entrusted this matter to Gabriel, who in turn asked Simpson, the one most familiar with Hobert, to address it.
These demigods were not interested in politics. To them, yesterday's battle was Philip I's fight to accommodate the uniqueness.
Or rather, it was a war between two extraordinary families, not a war between two nations.
Therefore, they didn't pay much attention to Christian and Hobert's betrayal. Besides, even a patriot would compromise when their life was at stake.
Moreover, with the Earth Mother's endorsement, they were even less likely to care about Hobert's political stance.
Simpson understood Hobert's temperament, so in his letter, he only asked for Hobert's help, without mentioning his assistance in protecting the people of the Jeffery region.
He knew that if he mentioned what he did last night, Hobert would feel threatened by the situation in the territory.
He would help, but at least not until next week.
Hobert pondered for a moment and concluded that this was not Simpson's plan to trap him. Simpson knew that Fors was in the territory. If the Church of the Earth Mother decided to help the royal family and not protect Hobert's assets, Simpson would definitely try to capture Fors first.
In that case, Archibald, with the "Desire Apostle" as his Marionette, would be alerted in advance and would definitely take Fors away from the territory at the first opportunity.
Since none of these things had happened, it meant that the cooperation between the Jeffery region and the Church of the Earth Mother was still solid.
Another reason Hobert was willing to help was to treat Christian's injuries.
Hobert believed that the Church of the Earth Mother should have a method to heal Christian.
After deciding to help, Hobert immediately replied to Simpson, briefly mentioning the issue of treating Christian and inviting the saints to Loen for treatment.
After replying, Hobert went to inform Christian about the matter.
Upon hearing that Hobert had contacted the Church of the Earth Mother, Christian felt he could suffer less in the coming days: "I'll take you to a place."
Although it was a royal manor, their surveillance was not strict.
The father and son used "Travel" to reach a small wooden house, surrounded by dense forests. The northern trees had already grown tender leaves, well concealing the location of the small wooden house.
"This is a safe house that Rex and I set up back then, located in the northern part of the Tucker Plain, in the Hornacis Mountains. It's very hidden and safe," Christian said. "Please have your friends from the Church of the Earth Mother come here to treat me."
They had already left Feynapotter and couldn't let others know that they were still in contact with people from the Church of the Earth Mother.
Hobert marked the location with the "Traveler's Knife": "No problem."
Then, the father and son returned to the manor. In the afternoon, they finally received a reply. Simpson said that the saints had agreed to come to Loen to resolve the contamination issue, but only if there was a hidden place.
Hobert wrote another letter, asking Simpson to find him. After sending the letter, Hobert went to the safe house that Christian had just taken him to see.
As for how Simpson would find him, Hobert believed they would have a way.
Sure enough, Hobert had only been in the safe house for a dozen minutes when Simpson opened the door and entered, as if visiting a friend's house. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to do such a big thing yesterday!"
Hobert smiled wryly: "I'm just a small character; I didn't play much of a role inside."
Simpson didn't know the details of yesterday's battle. Even if he did, he wouldn't have thought that the giant bird at the end was summoned by Hobert.
To Simpson, a Sequence 5 was indeed a marginal figure on a battlefield like yesterday's.
Simpson briefly talked about the situation in the Jeffery region, and finally he said: "...Now Buck doesn't even bother hiding in the lord's mansion anymore. He knows the mission is definitely not going to be completed, and it's useless even if he comes out."
Hobert also smiled: "The royal family probably doesn't have much energy to manage the Jeffery region right now."
Once the Feynapotter royal family recovers from the shadow of yesterday's defeat, the territory should face another crisis. That's when they will truly have to play a game with the royal family. However, with the support of the Church of the Earth Mother, Hobert is confident in completing this game with the royal family and protecting his assets in the Jeffery region.
Once that crisis is overcome, the Jeffery region will truly be safe.
But now is certainly not the time to talk about this. Hobert then asked Simpson why he had sought him out to solve the contamination issue.
Simpson said frankly: "I heard this is from the Earth Mother's guidance."
Hobert opened his mouth, wondering when he had come under the Earth Mother's gaze.
He then thought of his experience at the Boklun Mountain Manor at the beginning of the year, which made him wonder: Are the Evernight Goddess and the Earth Mother, or rather, beings at the level of True Gods, unable to eliminate the corruption from the "Nation of Disorder"?
Hobert shook his head gently: Probably not, but even if they have a way, it should be more troublesome. It's simpler and more convenient to issue a divine decree: "Go and invite the Tathagata... cough cough, go find Hobert".
Then Hobert thought: I wonder what reward the Earth Mother will give me? Hey? Did the Mother not mention a reward in the divine decree? The Evernight Goddess did mention it.
However, Hobert thought that the gods shouldn't default on their debts and would definitely give him some reward.
It's just that these rewards might be delivered at any time, and he might have already received them, like the bracelet he got before entering Boklun Mountain Manor.
Wait, Hobert thought again: The Earth Mother probably knows that these people's corruption comes from the "Nation of Disorder", so is the Mother telling them to come to me, is she saying: Deal with it yourself!
Thinking of this, Hobert smiled somewhat guiltily: Forget it, I already promised Simpson, so I'll help even if there's no reward.
While thinking about his thoughts, Hobert chatted with Bishop Simpson for a while before Gabriel and several other saints arrived one after another.
Simpson was responsible for scouting the way. If Hobert had any problems, Simpson would use the talisman in his pocket to send a signal.
If Hobert had no problems, they would come over a dozen minutes after Simpson arrived.
Although there were instructions from the Mother, they still had to be careful.
Hobert politely stepped forward, shook hands with Gabriel, and nodded to the other saints.
The saints didn't look like they had been contaminated, only a little pale.
This was only because they had been contaminated for a short time, and it hadn't spread in their bodies yet.
After exchanging a few polite words with Gabriel, Hobert said: "I received baptism from Bishop Utravsky. No matter which country I am in, I am a devout believer of the Mother."
The baptism of each church is equivalent to a screening. As long as they can pass the baptism, not to say how devout they are to the Mother, at least they have no malice.
Hobert said this to introduce himself, and also to explain to everyone that he had passed the screening of the baptism, and that the baptism was conducted by the Mother's blessed.
Sure enough, after Hobert said this, everyone's defensive psychology was obviously not as strong as before.
"Next, I will pray for the power of a mysterious existence to remove the corruption on everyone," Hobert smiled. "That existence is indeed very good at removing certain corruption. The loving Mother and the Evernight Goddess both know this."
Bringing out these two gods is of course to set off the status of "Creator" from the side.
And the so-called "some specific corruption" refers to the corruption of the "Nation of Disorder". I can't guarantee that it is useful to find the "Creator" for other corruption.
Everyone was relieved to hear that the Earth Mother and the Evernight Goddess both said it was good, and they all smiled and complimented a few words, asking Hobert for help.
Hobert then began to set up the altar, lit the candles, and began to recite the "Creator's" honorific name: "The Creator of Human Order;
"..."
Next is the prayer part: "Your devout servant, prays for your power, prays for you to eliminate the corruption on the people in front of the altar."
After Hobert read it aloud once, he repeated it again, his voice getting smaller and smaller, and finally became a silent recitation.
The demigods behind him were lined up together, and their expressions gradually became solemn, which was the most basic respect for the gods.
After Hobert began to recite silently, he stepped back slightly and stood there completely still.
His astral projection had actually gone to the "Nation of Disorder". Hobert sat on the "Iron Throne" and then spread his spirituality to the star that represented him.
Through "True Vision", Hobert saw that, in addition to Simpson, the five saints including Gabriel were indeed entangled in a wisp of thin black mist.
Different from the corruption of "Uncertain Mist", these black mists immediately resonated with the "Nation of Disorder".
Of course, there will be resonance, after all, they all come from the "Nation of Disorder", but Hobert can treat this corruption like the "Trunsoest Brass Book", let this corruption detonate, quickly and completely corrupt the other party, and can also completely eliminate the corruption.
Hobert smiled: It's just that I won't choose the extra choice.
In order to make the cooperation between the Jeffery region and the Church of the Earth Mother closer, Hobert projected a lot of power into his star.
...
In the real world, Simpson and others felt something in their spirituality and saw a figure sitting in a forest of swords in the air.
He exuded a sacred brilliance, as if he could end all chaos, and as if he could bring complete chaos.
He exuded an aura of majesty, causing people to lower their heads unconsciously, and wanting to surrender unconsciously.
Simpson and others knelt on one knee and lowered their heads. They realized that this was a real god!
Then Gabriel and others felt a lightness all over their bodies. The coldness mixed in the spiritual body and the body was being quickly drawn away. Soon they all felt their bodies begin to warm, and their spirituality also felt that the very high-level contamination in their bodies was eliminated.
It wasn't until Hobert in front of the altar said: "Praise the 'Creator'."
Everyone woke up like a dream and thanked Hobert one after another.
Hobert smiled: "I will convey your thanks to the 'Creator'."
He continued: "I will bring my father over now."
Gabriel said to his colleagues: "You go back first, I will stay and treat Hobert's father."
The other four demigods thanked Hobert again before leaving one after another. Finally, only Simpson and Gabriel were left in the small wooden house.
"Please wait a moment." Hobert used "Travel" to return to the royal manor and brought Christian to the small wooden house.
After a few simple polite words, Gabriel began to examine the wound.
At this time, Hobert realized that Christian's sternum was directly broken, and several ribs were also broken. With a little force, the bones and muscles of the entire right chest could be lifted directly.
The right lung inside was also injured. If it was an ordinary person, such an injury would have killed him long ago.
Gabriel checked and said: "Don't expect the wound to heal itself. The order of this part of your body has been directly destroyed. Even if you are a demigod, it won't be long before it will fester and necrosis, and eventually the order of your whole body will be out of balance."
Hobert asked nervously: "Your Excellency Archbishop, is there any way?"
"The only way is to remove the damaged tissues around the wound." Gabriel said: "Then let the cut muscles, bones and internal organs grow back."
Before Hobert could ask anything, Christian smiled and said: "Then let's start."
Gabriel put on a mask and took out his portable kit, which contained scalpels, hemostats, scissors and other tools, a total of more than a dozen.
The surgery was performed on the dusty floor of the small wooden house.
Even though it was a mystical surgery, it took more than an hour.
Gabriel first removed the parts that could no longer heal themselves, which cut out a huge wound. Christian's entire right lung and right chest were basically cut off.
Hobert could clearly see Christian's posterior ribs and spine.
Then Gabriel used the "Stone of Life" and portable potions to quickly start the growth of the missing parts.
The right lung grew first. As Christian breathed, it contracted and expanded. Compared to the previously malfunctioning lung, the newly grown lung looked healthy and vigorous.
Then came the sternum, ribs and muscles, and finally the skin. After the wound healed, there was nothing different except that the muscles there looked more tender.
Even the nameless finger that Christian was missing grew back.
Hobert sighed in his heart: This surgery is really eye-opening, but unfortunately it is difficult to popularize.
After the surgery, Christian got up and moved around, feeling no discomfort at all.
After thanking each other, they left the small wooden house one after another.
...
Backlund, Sodela Palace.
In a remote palace, William I, sitting on the throne, listened to the report from Mitchell, a demigod from MI9, who was kneeling below.
He asked: "Before that, there was no information about the 'Creator'?"
"There is a piece of suspected intelligence." Mitchell lowered his head. Of course, he knew who was on the throne, so he said without reservation, "In October of last year, facing the provocations of the Feysac Empire, we sent several mercenary groups to strike at the forces of Feysac in the Southern Continent.
"This battle went very smoothly and achieved considerable results. However, when cleaning up the battlefield, someone snatched an Beyonder characteristic and a Sealed Artifact.
"When the mercenaries chased after the opponent, a mysterious being covered the robbers' escape and erased his traces with very mysterious means."
"Later, after divination, it was discovered that the person who snatched the Sealed Artifact was a member of the Balk family, but the existence that helped the Balk family member escape could not be divined for any information about Him.
"At the end of last year, that battle took place in the Southern Continent, one of the sides of which was the Balk family. Therefore, I and several colleagues associated this with the previous incident and believed that the 'Creator' had long been sheltering the Balk family."
William I nodded: "Very good, you have done your job well!"
He thought in his heart: So, that young man named Hobert is also a blessed of the 'Creator'!
After returning from the battlefield of Feynapotter, William I realized that at that time, there was an adjacent pathway, an existence similar to a god, constantly watching the battlefield.
But this puzzled him, because he knew very well where the uniqueness of the 'Black Emperor' pathway and the Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics were.
So he first secretly summoned Christian and asked about the giant bird, but did not get the answer he wanted.
He also thought of the 'power of order' he felt from the giant bird at that time. He was almost certain that it must have come from the 'Justiciar' pathway or the 'Black Emperor' pathway.
William I thought for a while, but did not remember any 'old guys' with a similar feeling, so he judged that this existence must have appeared recently.
He summoned the intelligence personnel of MI9 and immediately locked onto the target.
William I rewarded Mitchell and then fell into deep thought.
This reminded him of the words he had heard in Trunsoest and associated them with the 'Nation of Disorder'.
Having seen the second 'Blasphemy Slate', he of course knew what the 'Nation of Disorder' represented, which made him think: I suspected that the Night Emperor had made arrangements in the 'Nation of Disorder' back then. Could it be that He has been resurrected in the 'Nation of Disorder'?
In the end, William I believed that the 'Creator' had not shown malice towards the Augustus family, and he could try to win over Hobert to see if he could obtain more information.
...
Thursday, Backlund, in the luxurious villa of Earl Hall.
Audrey returned with her father, because a large number of servants had gone to the fief, so the villa looked relatively empty.
But that's not to say that there were no servants here. Even if Earl Hall and his family were not there, there were at least fifty servants in this villa taking care of it.
They had to clean every day, and maintain the lawns, flowers and trees.
That night, Earl Hall invited his good friend Earl Wolfe to his home for dinner.
Because it was a private invitation between good friends, there was no band or dance party, only a sumptuous dinner.
Audrey sat at the lower end of the table, listening to the conversation between the two earls.
Only three people were dining in the luxurious and spacious restaurant, but it did not seem empty because there were many servants.
"I just met Countess Georgiana yesterday," Earl Wolfe said, taking a sip of wine, "The Countess said that Hobert made outstanding contributions in this operation, and the King will give him a special reward.
"I guess this young man may be directly ennobled as an Earl."
Audrey's fork paused slightly. She originally thought that Hobert would be ennobled as a Viscount at most, but she did not expect that he would be directly ennobled as an Earl! In that case, Glaintet would have to bow or kneel on one knee when he saw Hobert.
Earl Hall laughed happily: "Then Duke Reagan should take action."
Duke Reagan was an old aristocrat, but because of the rise of new capital and the reform of abolishing the Corn Laws, his property had shrunk drastically. Last year, he was on the verge of bankruptcy and could only barely support himself by marrying into wealthy businessmen families and lower-level nobles.
Because the objects of his marriage repeatedly broke the nobles' bottom line, the nobles often joked about him in private.
"It's not just Duke Reagan." Earl Wolfe, who had been in Backlund for some time, smiled and said, "Lord Quint and Lord Sylvester have also expressed strong interest in this.
"After hearing that I had helped Hobert, they all asked me to introduce their daughters to Hobert."
These two lords were both millionaires in Backlund and were now very influential members of the House of Commons.
However, the power of the Loen Kingdom was still mostly concentrated in the hands of high-ranking nobles, so they would definitely lean towards the nobles and let their daughters become countesses, which would allow them to successfully integrate into the high-ranking nobles.
At this time, Audrey couldn't help but say: "Uncle Wolfe, I heard that Hobert is already married. Don't Duke Reagan and the others know about it?"
"Of course they know." Earl Wolfe smiled and said, "But that was a marriage in the Kingdom of Feynapotter. What does it have to do with the Kingdom of Loen? Even if Hobert remarries in Loen, it won't have any impact."
He even believed that it was inevitable for Hobert to remarry, after all, although the father and son had very high titles, they did not have very solid relationships among the high-ranking nobles.
If they could have a marriage alliance, they could integrate into the circle of nobles.
Christian does have a son, but in Wolfe's opinion, that son has not yet reached the sincerity of marriage.
Audrey was a little surprised: It can be like this!
