Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 381 The Mistress of This Territory
After leaving the spirit world, Hobert said to Fors: "You don't have to be so nervous, just look at how beautiful the scenery is here, and treat it as a tourist."

Forsi took a deep breath: "It's the first time I have such an intimate contact with a man, how can I not be nervous?"

By "intimate contact" she meant holding Hobert's arm.

Hobert thought for a while. A girl would be nervous when she came into an unfamiliar environment. This was a relatively natural reaction, and there was no need to ask her to be calm.

On the way back to the mansion, everyone saluted Hobert respectfully, called him lord, and secretly looked at the beautiful lady who was holding lord's arm.

At this moment, Fors truly felt that she had come to Hobart's territory.

Arriving at the gate of the lord's mansion, Hobert shouted to the busy people: "This is my fiancée, Miss Forsi! She just came here from afar!

"From today onwards, Miss Fors is you, the hostess of this territory!"

The people who were repairing the mansion put down their work one after another to pay tribute to Forsi.

Philip in the crowd heaved a sigh of relief. Although this young lady didn't look like a local, judging from her clothes and attire, she was well-bred.

As long as the lord is not fooled by the beauty, he is really afraid that one day the lord will marry the alluring woman raised in the yard into the baron's mansion in a fair manner.

Helen, who came out to watch the excitement, curled her lips: "It's just holding arms? What's there to be shy about?"

After the two showed their faces at the door, Philip stepped forward and asked Fors to go to the room prepared for her.

The room prepared for Fors was tidied up overnight yesterday. It is in the same yard as Hobert's room, separated by a study in the middle.

Hobert's residence and the main hall have all been repaired, and most of the renovation work on the Lord's Mansion has been completed.

As soon as she entered the room, Fors felt a wave of heat enveloping her. She didn't see the fireplace, but the room was very warm.

The decoration of the room is not gorgeous, but it is very elegant. All the furniture and supplies are also brand new. There is no cumbersome etiquette as imagined, and there is no need to maintain a demeanor at all times as imagined. This makes Fors feel very good.

After letting Philip leave, Hobert took out a paper bag: "This is the deposit I agreed on yesterday."

Fors smiled and said: "To be honest, I just came here to help, and if I ask for your money, it always feels weird."

"No, this money represents my respect for you." Hobert said sternly, "Of course I know how much determination it means for an unmarried lady to do such a favor.

"This represents my respect and our friendship. You must accept it, otherwise I won't bear it."

Only then did Fors accept the paper bag: "Then, what do I need to do?"

"Take a rest first," Hobert said with a smile, "I've done what you need to do, that is, to show up in front of everyone. I think by tomorrow at most, everyone in the town will know that Sir Sir's fiancée coming.

"Oh, by the way, during lunch, Helen will still dine at the same table as us.

"That's your first test, don't give her a good look, but give her a bit of court...uh, I mean the aura of a baroness.

"Don't worry, I will help you suppress her, don't be nervous."

Forsi took a deep breath: "Okay, let me brew some emotions."

Immediately, Hobert let Forsi rest, he went to see the production of the form first, and then called Philip to start busy with business: "Go and recruit another forty or fifty people, and start tomorrow to build a tomb for Viscount Wright's family. "

Philip said: "My lord, it doesn't take so many people, only twenty or thirty people are needed, and it will take three or four days to complete the work."

Hobert was taken aback for a moment, and after inquiring, he found out that the nobles of the Fenepot Kingdom, or in other words, the nobles of the entire Northern Continent did not have the tradition of honorable burials.

The tombs built are not very luxurious or spacious, but they are several times larger than ordinary people's tombs, with an extra stone tablet and thicker coffins.

At most, some toys, jewelry, utensils, etc. that the tomb owner liked during his lifetime should be buried with him, or what the tomb owner asked to be buried with him.

Hobert recalled his previous experience of robbing the tomb. The tomb of the viscount of the Antigonus family was indeed not that big. If there were no traps, the tomb would certainly not be so long.

Moreover, there are indeed not many treasures in the tomb, and there are many things that are of little value when they are buried.

It's just that these things are all antiques after being dug out now.

"Then find [-] people to build a tomb for Viscount Wright's family starting tomorrow." Hobert said, "Let your son Roy help. You still have to keep an eye on the Lord's Mansion."

Philip nodded: "Yes!"

Hobert said to Schill again: "Go find some helpers and inform the whole town that all residents will come to the Lord's Mansion for household registration tomorrow.

"Tell them that after they come to register, each person will be given 10 plus food."

Nega is a common unit of measurement in the Fenepot Kingdom. Hobert once tested it with his hand, and the weight of 1 nega is not much different from his impression of 1 catty.

At present, there are only two units of measurement for Fenepot, 1000 is added to 1 farane.

The food seized from the bandits, Philip estimated, was at least a few hundred Farnega.

Of course, Hobert would not let these grains wait to go moldy in the warehouse. Apart from serving as food for the workers of the Lord's Mansion, it had a greater use for Hobert.

He told Xier: "I don't care what method you use, you must ask everyone in the town to register tomorrow, you can scare them, if you don't register with the lord's mansion, you are a black household, and you will be taxed twice.

"For the cost of hiring a helper, go to the housekeeper to get it!"

This is the first time the Sir has assigned him a job, and Sear attaches great importance to it: "Don't worry, Sir, I will definitely do it for you!"

Hobert nodded: "I will go to the surrounding villages to notify tomorrow, divide them into two groups, and let them register on the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. In short, the household registration must be completed within three days. How to divide it is up to you."

Then he ordered Philip: "Prepare fifteen tables in the front yard tomorrow, and let all the servants, gardeners, and grooms put down their work and maintain order in the front yard except for the maintenance workers.

"Prepare enough food for distribution, and let trustworthy people distribute it. Don't be short-changed. In addition, only those who have met the person and completed the registration will give the food."

Finally, Hobert ordered: "Find two younger maids to help the future baroness clean up the room every day, but if there is no permission from the madam, it is best not to let the maids follow her buttocks, but you can let the maids lead the room." Madame, go around the territory."

Hobert found more and more that the lazy Fors was very suitable for the "job" of the baroness. He had heard from Hugh before that Fors could not clean the room for a month.
