Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 332 Nobles and fiefdoms

霍伯特在银行用100金镑换取了120金里索，首先换取了1、2、5金里索面额的纸币各10张，然后换取了一些银索的纸币和硬币，还有铜里索的纸币和硬币。

When he was in Backlund, the area where Hobert put coins in his wallet had been vacant for a long time, but now he has filled it up.

The gold pound of Ruen, the currency of the Northern Continent, is now strong. This has a lot to do with the fact that the industrial output value produced by Ruen is almost the sum of the other three countries.

Therefore, the handling fee for exchanging gold pounds for gold lisuo is only two ten-thousandths, but for exchanging gold lisos for gold pounds, there is a handling fee of five ten thousandths.

After taking the rented carriage again and arriving at Earl Christine's mansion, Hobert realized that the straight-line distance between Christine and his mansion was not far.

Their mansion is located in the Juana District, which is equivalent to the Queen's District of Backlund, where the nobles of Feneport City basically live.

Doffiz's arrangements were really different. In Christine's mansion, more than a dozen servants and maids were already cleaning inside and out.

Several cooks and kitchen assistants, as well as two gardeners and two coachmen also began to work, while Dopheus changed into a butler's costume and became the butler of the Earl's Mansion.

Chatting with the overseer Dopheus, he said that he also hired a butler, three valets and three maids for Hobert, as well as a cook, a cook, a coachman and a gardener.

In the end Dopheus said: "If you still need it, you can ask your butler to hire it again.

"In the baron of Feneport, the standard number of servants is no more than 20. I suggest you hire a few more carpenters and masons. I heard that your mansion needs some repairs."

Originally, Hobert wanted to borrow Christine's servants to tidy up his mansion for a while, but after hearing what Dopheus said, he seemed to be belatedly aware that he was now a nobleman after all. If conditions permit, it is no longer possible to use the servants at home to help clean the rental house as before.

Thinking of this, Hobert recalled that he still had more than half a year's rent on Blanca Street, which was more than 100 silver ropes.

Thinking about it, Hobert wanted to beat himself again. He kept telling himself in his heart: "I am a nobleman now, I am a nobleman now." He would not think about the more than 100 silver ropes anymore.

Originally, Hobert wanted to complain, but once he joined the "Tarot Club", he would become a believer in the "Poor God". The most direct manifestation is that he is picky.

But after thinking about it, Hobert realized that this was not because he was stingy, but because of the education he had received since he was a child in the AD era, which was to live frugally.

The life of the nobility is mainly about extravagance and waste. Hobert found that he was not used to it, and he also looked down on these nobles who did not have the correct moral standards.

In the lobby of the Earl's Mansion, Hobert saw Christine sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

The main hall has been cleaned out, only here there are no servants busy.

The father and son sat across from each other, and Christine's new valet poured Hobert a cup of tea.

Hobert took the initiative: "I traded the crystal for that bracelet at a party. I felt that it was a bit different and not too expensive, so I bought it, but after studying for a long time, I couldn't find it. If there is any use, it is made into a bracelet.

"At the same time, I also used leftovers to carve a wax seal and made a pocket watch key."

Of course he has to lie about this matter. The "Nation of Disorder" is his biggest secret right now, a secret he cannot tell anyone.

Christine nodded slowly: "Maybe it just doesn't work in our hands."

He urged: "Keep the wax badge and pocket watch key well. I have a hunch that they may be of great use in the future."

Even the demigod Christine didn't see anything special about the wax seal, so Hobert believed that so far, only angels or above could perceive the specialness of the "Order Crystal".

But these "Order Crystals" still have a lot of use for Hobart, and they can't be hidden in the "Nation of Disorder", that would be a huge waste of resources.

Christine asked, "What are your plans?"

"I plan to go back to my territory tomorrow." Now Hobert feels more and more that the territory should be the key to digesting the potion. If he wants to make a new improvement, he must go to the territory to try to digest the potion as soon as possible.

Christine said "hmm": "I will help you invite the deputy director of the Land and Resources Bureau to dinner tonight, so we can get to know your territory well."

Hobert was slightly taken aback: "I didn't think of that."

Although Christine was a "judgment minister", the position of deputy chief of staff given to him by the king was a real high-ranking official, and it was enough face to invite Roderick, deputy director of the Bureau of Land and Resources, to dinner.

During the dinner, the guest of honor had a good conversation, and Roderick told Hobert a lot of information about his domain.

Of course, this is inseparable from the gift Christine gave to Roderick, which made him quite satisfied.

Through the conversation at the dinner party, Hobert learned that his territory was considered the most fertile in Colson County, and it belonged to a native Viscount of Colson County before.

But six years ago, the viscount's family died in his mansion for no apparent reason, and the officials who sent out the investigation did not find any problems.

Later, the royal family learned from the Teutonic Viscount on the west side of the Full Moon Lake that the Viscount died at the hands of bandits in his territory.

The king didn't seem to be bothered to take care of this, and divided the viscount's territory into two. He had already given half of it to Baron Ronald, but Baron Ronald had never dared to go to his own territory.

After Roderick heard that Hobert was planning to go to his fief, his eyes were full of disbelief. He suggested that Hobert hire more bodyguards, and even a team of mercenaries would not be too much.

After the dinner was over, Roderick was sent away, and Christine suggested that Hobert go to his own territory alone, and take public transportation, and inquire about the situation of that territory along the way.

Roderick only talked about the general situation, who the surrounding territories belong to, whether there is any background information, etc. Hobert needs to understand the details.

Hobert is also thinking about this, he has the secret of "travel" ability, which cannot be easily revealed.

Back at his baron's mansion, the housekeeper and servants that Dolphus helped hire were already waiting in the courtyard. Under the supervision of the housekeeper this afternoon, the servants had already cleaned the mansion. No problem.

Hobert called the butler into the house, informed him that he would go to his own territory tomorrow, and gave the butler 50 gold lisuo to maintain the daily expenses of the baron's mansion, but he would find Earl Christine's butler every week. Mr. Faith reported.
