Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 353 The Second Butler Candidate

Hobert understood that letting the people in the territory know the existence of the lord was a digestion of the "baron" in the "corrupted baron".

To put it another way, if the people in the territory recognize Hobert as the lord, Hobert's potion can be digested accordingly.

This method of digestion is not necessarily only used in one's own territory. If a "corrupted baron" opens a factory, as long as the workers admit that he is the boss of the factory, then his potion can be digested accordingly.

Speaking of it, it is easier to digest the potion than to run a territory by opening a factory. After all, the workers will definitely recognize the status of the boss with their salaries.

It's just that "corrupting the baron" is not just people's recognition of the leader, but also "corrupting", and "corrupting" the hearts of people around should also be another way to digest the potion.

In other words, "corruption" and "baron" must be available at the same time in order to effectively digest potions.

Anyway, Hobert woke up in a good mood today, he took out a copper liso from his pocket and flicked it to Schill: "This is for you!"

Schill caught the coin: "Thanks to the great Sir!"

He thought to himself: Uncle is right, the Sir really wants us to spread his reputation, and if similar things happen in the future, we must let everyone know!

Hobert said to Schill again: "Go buy breakfast, then notify Philip to come for an interview, and then prepare. I'm going to inspect the territory today."

Xier agreed and was about to go out when both master and servant noticed that there was a middle-aged man at the door peeking inside.

Scheer smiled and said, "My lord, that's Philip."

"Let him in."

Philip had a good appearance, neither humble nor overbearing. It seemed that he had learned etiquette, and he was strict when he saluted Hobert.

Hobert asked, "Who told you to come?"

Philip lowered his head and replied: "I heard that a new lord has arrived, so I want to ask if I want a servant?

"Our family has served the Lord for three consecutive generations, and even my name was given by the old Lord Wright. If the Lord has any needs in this regard, I will be at your disposal at any time."

Hobert nodded. He had heard before that nobility is hereditary, and positions such as housekeepers and senior male servants in the nobility are also "hereditary".

"I'm going to ask Schill to find you." Hobert smiled and said, "I want to hire you as my housekeeper."

Philip fearfully said, "My lord, I was just a senior manservant before, and my ability may not be enough to be a housekeeper."

"It's okay." Hobert smiled and said, "You should know the job of a butler, right?"

"know."

"That's fine. Your probationary period is two months. During the probationary period, your weekly salary is 5 silver cords." Hobert took out his wallet again: "Here is 80 silver cords in it. From now on, you will be in charge of the finances of the lord's mansion. Give me a ledger every week for review."

Philip shirked it again, and then took the money bag respectfully.

After breakfast, Hobert took Schill to inspect his territory.

……

Backlund Council Hall, 8:[-] am.

Servant Quincy invited Miss Jessica into the venue at the behest of Earl Wolfe.

Jessica took a deep breath and faced the meeting with her best self.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the venue, Gusta and other four Chamber of Commerce representatives questioned Jessica's legal seat on the basis of Hobert's treason.

During this period of time, Jessica, who has seen a lot of worlds with Hobert, is neither humble nor overbearing: "As far as I know, none of the laws and regulations of Ruen have recognized that the seat given to me by Hobert's lawyer is illegal. .

"Although he was deprived of all political power in the Loen Kingdom, I didn't!"

At this time, Hobert's teacher and several law professors also said: "This little girl is right!"

"You can't just let the young people rush to the forefront."

"Our old bones think her seat is legitimate."

Jessica was very moved. Of course she knew that this was Hobert's insistence before, in exchange for the legal circle's support and affirmation of what Hobert was doing.

Gusta said to Jessica gloomily: "Then you are ready to accept the scrutiny, I think you are the accomplice of the traitor!"

"Whether I belong to the same party or not is not up to you." Jessica countered coldly.

In fact, she had been interrogated twice last week, one was an ordinary interrogation by the police, and the other was an interrogation by the other party using extraordinary abilities.

Because Jessica did not know and Barton's lawyer's bail, Jessica was released quickly.

But today, Jessica knew that as long as she appeared here, she was confirmed to be Hobert's accomplice, and she was ready to face the next prison disaster.

Especially after seeing the four worker representatives, she felt that it was absolutely worthwhile for her to do so.

As Jessica expected, after the meeting started, the four workers' representatives couldn't understand the laws and regulations that went around and had extremely complicated grammar.

These are workers recruited by the church with a certain cultural foundation.

It didn't matter if they came or not if Jessica wasn't there to explain it to them.

It was because of Jessica's explanation that the law professors listened to the views of the workers and found that many laws did not apply at all.

For example, the compensation period was originally within three months, but I learned from the workers that if they fail to receive compensation for a month after being disabled due to a work-related injury, the worker may starve to death.Or the worker's family is torn apart, and then that worker starves to death on the street.

In this way, the compensation will lose the object of payment, and there is no need to make compensation.

So the law professors withstood the enormous pressure and changed the compensation period from three months to three weeks.

The meeting lasted from morning to afternoon, and the previous bill was almost changed beyond recognition.

After the meeting, Jessica saw the police waiting outside. Gusta had already called the police during the break of the meeting. If it hadn't been for Earl Wolfe's obstruction, the police would have taken Jessica away at noon.

Jessica was relieved in the face of these policemen from the special department. Just as she was about to be arrested, a man with a scar on his face and wearing formal clothes stepped forward and showed his ID to the police:
"I am Borgia from the Special Operations Department! I am ordered by my superiors to protect Lawyer Jessica. She can accept your interrogation, but I must be present."

Another gentleman, wearing glasses and looking like a university professor, also showed his ID, indicating that he had received the same order.

In addition to the police badges on their certificates, they also had the holy emblems of the Church of the Goddess of the Night and the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery respectively.

The following experience was quite magical for Jessica.

The police or MI[-] did interrogate her, but the scar-faced man and the university professor were sitting on the sidelines. The MI[-] people were very polite, so polite that Jessica felt a little unreal.

　Thank you for the reward of [Shangzheshangyi].
