Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 534: The Creator’s Action to Rescue Meow
In addition to the three angels, there are also four saints.

They were Reinette, who was holding two heads in her hands and two heads on her neck, and Jacks, whom Hobert had just seen yesterday.

Hobert could see that Miss Messenger was not in very good condition. She did not have angel-level strength, and was only slightly stronger than Jacks!

There is also a strange "mystic mage" who is wandering on the edge of the battlefield, ready to pick up the piece of black jade with the words of the true creator.

In mid-air, there is another "Sailor" Path Saint hiding in the clouds. He is staring at the "Mystic Mage", ready to take action at any time.

Klein, who was praying for help, fled the battlefield in embarrassment with a black leather notebook on his head.

Hobert guessed that the notebook in his hand should be "Grossell's Travels". Even in the real field of view, Hobert found it difficult to see clearly Klein's specific state.

As for the "Sailor" in the clouds who passed through the Saint, he should be the real king of the Rhoside Islands, "Sea King" Yann Coatman.

That "mystic mage", Hobert guessed was someone from the Aurora Society. He remembered that there would be a "mystic mage" in the Aurora Society.

Almost as soon as he saw the battlefield situation clearly, Hobert had already distinguished ourselves from the enemy. At this time, Siua's hand was grabbing Klein in mid-air.

Hobert realized that it was time to take action!
He picked up the Black Emperor Card with one hand and manipulated the "1-105" from the "Whisperer" with the other hand, projecting the surging power into the real world.

……

Raging Sea, on the mountain outside Bayam City.

The two heads held in Reinette's hands opened their mouths at the same time, and two translucent ice arrows shot at Jacks. The space along the ice arrows seemed to freeze.

Jacks, who was already injured and obviously smaller in size, hurriedly avoided it, but the place where he landed turned dark almost at the same time. The plants and animals on the ground died immediately and rotted in an instant. .

Jacks let himself enter the state of "revengeful soul" and did not dare to land, but he felt that his spirituality was flowing crazily towards the rotten ground. He quickly entered the spiritual world and came out not far away, his spirituality flowing towards the corroded ground. The momentum just stopped.

In this battle, even though Jacks swallowed the puppet given by the "Mother Tree of Desire", he was still no match for Reinette. After all, the power that the "Mother Tree of Desire" could project was extremely limited, and Reinette's personality was also There it is.

Reinette was about to launch a new offensive when suddenly his spirituality felt something, and he and Jacks looked into the air. They saw the sky being torn apart by solid black power.

At the same time, the "Mystic Mage" who was always watching "Sea King" Ion still did not dare to pick up the jade stone with the words of the true creator so upright.

Suddenly, his spirituality also felt something, and he looked at the position in the air that was torn apart by the black power, and a solid figure appeared there.

The appearance of this powerful being made "Sea King" Yan immediately feel a huge sense of oppression in the dark clouds. He rushed out of the dark clouds and flew back to the ground.

For some reason, Kleist and the mist, who were fighting together, also stopped fighting and looked at the solid figure in mid-air.

The figure was sitting on a throne made of sharp swords, wearing armor that emitted black sacred light, and a crown that also emitted sacred light. Unfortunately, he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, and could only see the other person's face flashing. Eyes of black light!
A huge sense of oppression rushed over, and the complete majesty shocked everyone's hearts!
The evil and crazy auras of the original "gods" Si'a and Kleist, as well as the misty aura of death, were instantly suppressed, and the entire mountain was filled with a strong sense of majesty.

Several saints had the urge to kneel down. They seemed to support this solid figure from the bottom of their hearts and were unwilling to disobey any of his orders.

The only Sequence 5 Klein present, his legs were weak and it took a lot of perseverance to continue moving forward.
If there hadn't been "Grossell's Travels" above his head, he would have been kneeling on the ground.

Even Hobert, who was in mid-air, immediately discovered that after becoming a demigod, his image as a "creator" had further solidified. With the blessing of the Black Emperor Card, he felt as if he was more like a true god. .

Even under the gaze of angels, they can only feel that the state of this god is not very good at best, but in their eyes, at least he has the strength of the "King of Angels"!

Before that, in the angel's eyes, it was easy to see that something was not right about the "creator". At least Adam noticed this almost immediately.

So later on, Hobert almost never let the "creator" show up in front of the angels. Previously, in the Alhambra Palace, he only projected the corpse of the ancient god of death.

However, at present, it only seems to have such a personality. Some of the abilities of the "Creator" are only at the Sequence 2 level, and most of the abilities do not even reach this level.

"State of Disorder" strengthens abilities such as "distortion", "chaos", and "amplification", while abilities such as "charm" and "arrogance" are not greatly strengthened.

But among the angels and saints present, no one could see through Hobert's reality. They were all stunned on the spot: Where did this god come from, or when did it appear?

Unless the true god comes, Hobert is now a god with the power of "King of Angels" in the eyes of angels!From the perspective of angels below, he is a true God!
After Hobert was in position, he first "distorted" Klein's position with a wave of his hand, making him appear on the edge of the cliff.

Then "1-105" in his hand turned into a giant sword glowing blue, and at the same time, Hobert injected the surging "power of order" into it.

The giant sword immediately turned black and emitted a sacred black light.

Hobert, who was sitting on the "Iron Throne", leaned forward and slashed Si'a's arm with the black giant sword.

Due to the pressure of the "creator", Si'a did not dare to confront him head-on, so he retracted his arm in the air.

So the battle between the angels and the saints took place on the ground, and the battle between the "creator" and the "god" began in the air.

The last time the "creator" and the "gods" met, the "creator" was completely useless and could only use the rules of the extraordinary world to prevent the "gods" from coming.

It's different now. Hobert has the ability to fight Si'a with real swords and guns, and at first it seemed like the "creator" still had the upper hand.

Hobert took advantage of the victory and pursued Si'a with a sword.

The skeletons on Si'a's arms opened their mouths at the same time, and issued a silent curse to the figure on the throne!

This curse is so vicious that the real world cannot bear it, as if space is distorted, like a hurricane blowing towards the figure on the Iron Throne.

Hobert placed the giant sword in front of him, and a solid translucent black barrier appeared in front of him. After the vicious curse hit the barrier, it was completely blocked.

"Chaos!" Hobert immediately counterattacked, causing the area around the arm to immediately become chaotic. This was a double "chaos" in reality and concept. Even the oxygen molecules in it became very disordered, and the angel's body also became chaotic. will collapse in such an environment.

Si'a's arm trembled violently, and the spiked tongues on it fell off, suddenly became larger and wider, and wrapped around his arm, blocking the momentum of "Chaos" to disintegrate his entire arm.

After the "chaotic" state ended, those tongues quickly rotted and were blown away by the wind before they even fell to the ground.

Then Sia's long arm stretched out, revealing a black-grey shoulder that seemed to be covered with rotten flesh.

He stretched out his hand towards the "Creator", and Hobert felt as if his connection with the spirit world was disconnected. This made his strength weaken rapidly, and it seemed that he had become a superfluous part of the world. The whole world, even the surroundings The air is against him, hoping that he will disappear from this world.

"Connection!" Hobert strengthened his connection with the "State of Disorder". Even if the world does not recognize the existence of the "Creator", the "State of Disorder" can make him a loophole in the world. Rather than the unnecessary parts of this world.

In fact, at this point in the battle, Hobert had lost all his advantages except for his aura. After all, his status as the "King of Angels" was hard-earned.

Fortunately, Si'a's outstretched shoulder returned to the spirit world. Not only that, his arm also quickly retracted.

After Hobert breathed a sigh of relief, he saw a huge underwater creature with sixteen fins on its back swimming on the coast on the other side of the cliff. It turned out that Si'a's target had left, and there was no way for him to stay here. What's the meaning.

Hobert stretched out his hand and created a "chaos" to cover up the whereabouts of the giant sea creature, both in reality and in mysticism.

In this way, Sia and the others would not be able to find any trace of Klein.

At the same time, Hobert discovered that Kleist had already given up on his opponent, forced Reinette back, and had taken Jax into the spirit world!

Hobert was also about to leave, when suddenly he seemed to think of something: "Chaos!"

Angel-level "chaos" can cause the corresponding spiritual world to fall into a state of "chaos". Sure enough, Jacks returned to the real world from the spiritual world with a confused look on his face: Why did he just leave the protection of Master Kleist? , are you back on the battlefield again?
Hobert swung his giant sword and swiped at Jacks: If I can't defeat the big one, why can't I defeat the small one?

The sword had not yet arrived, but a huge sense of pressure had already arrived. Jacks was shocked by this surging pressure, and his movements became very slow.

Just as the black light from the giant sword was about to hit him, a crutch made of bones appeared to help Jacks block the blow.

Kleist reappeared in the real world. He winked at Jacks and asked him to go first.

Reinette had left at this time, and no one could stop Jacks anymore.

But at this time, a monster with a bull's head and antlers appeared on the left of the black-armored figure in mid-air, and a huge sea snake appeared on the right.

Hobert drew his sword again and hit Kleist, while "Bull Demon King" and "Sea-Overturning Sage" surrounded him from left to right and rushed towards Jacks.

Jakes was about to enter the spirit world, but the space in front of him was "distorted" by "The Great Sage". At the same time, the "Bull Demon King" opened his mouth and spit out a dull word: "Filth!"

Jacks entered the "ghost" state, but his body was still covered with a layer of black mucus.

When "Sea King" Yann came here just now, the dark clouds that appeared in the sky saved "Sea-Overturning Sage" a lot of effort.

Kacha~
A thick lightning struck and was already injured, but he was still under the influence of "dirty". The key was Jacks who was in the "revengeful spirit" state.

The lightning's attack bonus to the "Resentful Soul" made Jacks visibly stunned on the spot. Then the "Silent Disciple", whose figure had faded a lot, jumped into the dewdrops dozens of meters away, trying to use the mirror. Escape by jumping.

The "Bull Demon King" and "Fu Hai Monkey King" cooperated quite well. "Fu Hai Monkey King" had just attacked with "Thunder and Lightning", and "Bull Demon King" stepped forward: "Twisted!"

Jakes' thoughts of escaping were suddenly "distorted" and turned into charging towards the two saints.

Although he quickly got rid of his "twisted" state, he returned to the "Bull Demon King".

Jacks immediately screamed at the "Bull Demon King". The attack from the spirit body could indeed push the "Bull Demon King" backwards, but it would not have much impact on the "Bull Demon King" without a spirit body.

Moreover, the "Great Sage of Overturning the Sea" took over in time and opened its bloody mouth. The withered trees around Jacks were uprooted and sucked into his mouth.

Jacks immediately stabilized his body to prevent being sucked in. At this time, he saw a monster with a bull's head and antlers rushing towards him, lowering his head and trying to hit himself with the antlers.

He let himself enter the state of resentment again. According to common sense, the attack of the "Bull Demon King" would not be able to harm him.

Unexpectedly, when the "Bull Demon King" was about to hit Jacks, its golden antlers were suddenly covered with a layer of black light.

thump~
Jakes was pushed out and vomited blood in mid-air. He felt like his lungs were almost pushed out!

The "Bull Demon King"'s attack made him unable to maintain his posture any longer, and he was sucked into the stomach by the "Hai Fu Monkey King".

Then the "Ox Demon King" jumped onto the huge body of the "Monkey King", and the "Monkey King" jumped into the air, and the two of them flew away in the wind.

Kleist, who had been dragged by Hobert, gritted his teeth, but quickly entered the spiritual world and left here.

The "Rose School" currently has a total of five "silent disciples", and two of them have been killed by the "founder"'s subordinates.

(In the previous battle in the southern continent, one was killed by a black dog spirit beast.)
Hobert also quickly withdrew his strength. Just when he was about to leave, he suddenly felt a line of sight from Bayam's direction looking over here.

But the owner of that sight seemed to realize that Hobert had noticed him, and immediately stopped watching.

Hobert didn't think much about it and returned to the real world. After a little preparation, he used the "Faceless Man Necklace" to navigate and entered the spiritual world to find the "Sea-Overturning Sage" and the "Bull Demon King".

At this time, they were waiting on an island not far from Bayam. Although "Sea King" Yan felt that "Sea Overturning Sage" was unusual, the "Creator" gave him a huge shock, and he did not dare to Catch up!
Hobert asked "The Great Sage of the Sea" and "The Bull Demon King" to stand ready. With a wave of his hand, he opened the belly of "The Great Sage of the Sea" and Jacks rolled out of it.

Just as Hobert was about to give the opponent a "chaos", he found that Jacks had turned into a puppet made of tree bark. His whole body was dry and rough, and he had no human appearance at all.

Because the puppet had no signs of life, Hobert thought that the other party had used a substitute to escape. However, upon closer inspection, it turned out that Jacks lost control when he was about to die in pain and turned into a monster that resembled a puppet.

But he soon died in the "Order Cage" of "The Great Sage Over the Sea", and finally became like this.

At this time, his extraordinary characteristics were already condensing on his teeth. Hobert waited patiently for a few minutes. The "Bull Demon King" and the "Hai-Shifting Sage" disappeared one after another due to lack of strength.

Hobert paid very vigilant attention to every move around him and arranged an altar. Finally, he waited until all of Jacks' extraordinary characteristics were condensed on his teeth and turned into a silver-white puppet.

The puppet's white eyes moved and he was about to look at Hobert. Fortunately, Hobert was quick and quick: "Twisted!"

The white puppet's eyes looked elsewhere. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hobert quickly sacrificed the puppet to the "Land of Disorder".

After returning to the island, Hobert made the space around Jakes' body become "chaotic" and took advantage of the "chaos" to "stuff" the body underground.

Hobert cleaned up the traces of the altar again before using "Travel" to leave.

……

The bottom of the Raging Sea.

Klein finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no enemies were chasing him.

Recalling the pressure displayed by the "Creator", he realized: the Creator was much more powerful than before, and seemed to be infinitely close to the true God!
Thinking of this, he showed a helpless smile: "Justice" and "The Hanged Man" both thought that I was an ally with the "Creator". They may not have thought that such a powerful ally of the "Creator" was just an ally. Sequence 5!

Then Klein thought: How should I thank the "creator" for the rescue?

Although he had his eyes closed the whole time just now, he could still clearly feel the operation of the "Creator" who helped him resist the attack of the "Rose School" angel and sent him to the edge of the cliff.

After thinking about it, maybe only the "Poseidon Scepter" and the "Death" cards could interest the "Creator", but he couldn't bear to part with the former. The latter might have come from the "Creator" and was sent back to others?
The key is that when you summon yourself, the "Death" card is very useful!He was also a little reluctant to part with it.

Then Klein thought of the "Hanged Man" approach at yesterday's party. He might consider writing a letter to Hobert and asking him what he needs.
At this time, Klein suddenly discovered that there were blood stains on "Grossell's Travels". He was slightly stunned. When was he injured?

But he checked and found that there were no wounds on his body.

Suddenly, Klein thought that he had used "Grossell's Travels" to block the attack of the "resentful spirit", and in the subsequent battle, "Travel Notes" fell not far from the "resentful spirit".

The "Resentful Soul" was once hit by the "fatal attack" of "Death Knell", and blood was scattered all around. Could it be that the blood of the "Resentful Soul" dripped on "Travel Notes"?
The more Klein thought about it, the more likely it became: So that “resentful spirit” is now in “Travel Notes”?
After he divined that his next actions would not be dangerous, he quickly dropped his own blood on the surface of "Travel Notes" and entered the "story" to find the "revengeful soul".

……

Outside Bayam.

"Sea King" Arn looked at the almost completely withered woods and the half-cut mountaintop and fell into deep thought.

The mountaintop that was cut off was accidentally cut off by the true god-like being with his giant sword during the final battle with the angels of the "Rose School".

The bull-headed and antlered monster that appeared later reminded "Sea King" Ion of the previous information about the "Creator".

At his level, the information he got about the "creator" was more detailed and advanced.

According to limited information, the "Creator" is an evil god who is not in very good condition. However, after meeting the "Creator" today, "Sea King" Yann doesn't think so. The "Creator" is obviously in very good condition. Nothing evil or crazy at all.Could it be that the "creator" has used some method to improve his condition in recent times?

Ion shook his head, unsure of his guess. He was going to personally go to the "Abyss of Storms" to report today's events to the Pope.

While heading to the "Abyss of Storms", he couldn't help but guess: Today's battle should be a continuation of the battle and conflict between the "Founder" and the "Rose School"?The only Sequence 5 present was probably a subordinate of the "Founder". He obtained information related to the "Rose School" and finally attracted the enemy out, leading to the war just now.

But a new question came again. Was the "broadcast" that was carried out throughout Bayam done by the "creator"?Logically speaking, He has such motivation and ability, but the power of "broadcast" and the power of "creator" give people completely different feelings!

At this time, "Sea King" Yan suddenly recalled the huge sea snake. He actually detected the aura of Kavitua on the sea snake, but Yan was sure that Kavitua was dead.

Then it can only be the sealed object formed by Kavituwa!

So Yan immediately thought: So, Kavitua's extraordinary characteristics were picked up by the "creator"'s subordinates?The "broadcast" last night should have been carried out by utilizing Kavitua's extraordinary characteristics!Then it all makes sense.

……

Backlund, 62 Queen's Road.

Hobert didn't know that a big black pot was flying towards him at this moment.

He said to the noble disciples in the conference room: "At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, friends who are willing to participate in the assessment will gather here, and I will take you to the fief.

"I'll say it again, unless you quit early, you'll be there for a month, so be mentally prepared!"

After sending away these noble children, Hobert couldn't wait to enter his study, locked the door, and immediately entered the "Land of Disorder".

Sitting on the "Iron Throne", Hobert took the pure white puppet that he had just sacrificed in his hand.

In the real world, the puppet would take the initiative to look at Hobert, but in the "Land of Disorder", as the master of the source of matter, the puppet's eyes were looking elsewhere, and it did not dare to look directly at him.

The moment he held the puppet in his hands, Hobert already knew its abilities and negative effects.

First of all, this puppet has certain characteristics of being alive. It will actively look at other creatures. Any creature that looks at it will either be haunted by a vicious curse, and its body will immediately mutate, or its head will be missing, or it will explode on the spot. And will continue to be attacked by powerful spiritual creatures.Either you will become a believer in the "Mother Tree of Desire", believe in Him and serve Him devoutly.

Even if the puppet's sight is blocked with ordinary objects, it is useless, because its sight can penetrate the spirit world and reach the target's eyes.If you cover it with something, you won't know where it is looking.

Hobert immediately thought of two ways to seal this feature, or place many insects around the puppet, let the puppet keep looking at the insects, and kill those insects.Or find a way to seal its eyes.

For Hobert, the second method was relatively simple. He took a piece of "Order Crystal", turned it into the shape of an eyepatch, and put it on the puppet's eyes, completing the preliminary sealing of the sealed object. .

As for the ability of this sealed artifact: "It can turn the target into an animal for a certain period of time. During this period, the target will lose the ability to speak and some extraordinary abilities; it can establish a close connection with the target in the spiritual world and create an illusory dagger." , if you cut yourself, the target will be injured, but the holder will not be substantially harmed; you can become stronger temporarily by swallowing the flesh and soul of the extraordinary through the 'prisoner', or by making a puppet full of curses made in advance. The stronger the target that is swallowed, the stronger the degree and the longer it will take; the creatures in the spiritual world will become extremely friendly to the holder; the holder will be proficient in making puppets with curse abilities; can enter the spiritual world and the mirror world; holding One will not be possessed."

Hobert nodded slowly: Generally speaking, the ability of this sealed object is pretty good, also because Jacks died not long after he lost control, so the ability is not that weird.

What satisfies Hobert the most is that he can use the "Source of Curse" at Sequence 3 level. Although the "Source of Curse" at this level looks like exchanging injuries for injuries, it only hurts the enemy, but Can't hurt yourself.

In addition, the ability to devour people of the same sequence or puppets made seemed to be a special ability of Jacks. Hobert did not remember that the Extraordinaries of the "Prisoner" path had similar abilities.

The negative effect is: "The moment the holder gets the sealed object, he will be cursed. The curse in the first 3 minutes is relatively mild, only falling, getting sick, or bad luck. After 3 minutes, the curse will make the holder suffer For more serious injuries, the curse after 5 minutes will put the holder's life in danger; after using it a certain number of times, the holder will have hallucinations, hear the puppet talking, and see it communicating with him like a normal person. In the end, the holder will Some people will unknowingly release the seal on its eyes and look at it; if the holder uses the ability to devour puppets or devour the 'Prisoner' path of extraordinary people, the 'Mother Tree of Desire' will lock and affect it within a certain period of time. Holder."

Hobert smiled bitterly: In other words, the ability to become stronger through devouring cannot be used at all!After all, who can stand the influence of the "Mother Tree of Desire"!

As for other negative effects, they don't seem to be very strong, but they are very annoying, because if you fall down or have bad luck during the battle, you can easily lose your life.

As for the second negative effect, Hobert seriously doubted whether Emlyn was under a similar curse that made him like dolls so much.

Thinking of this, Hobert twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled, summoning a group of "power of order" to re-seal the puppet, and finally got 3 minutes of safe use.

After naming this sealed object "1-108", Hobert looked at the skull of the black-haired golden-horned monster and the stomach bag containing the remnants of the sea snake's spirit.

"Ox Demon King" can be used four times, and "Haihuo Monkey King" can be used eight times.

If you can use them to get three or four more Level 1 Sealed Artifacts, you will make a lot of money!

After returning to the real world from the "State of Disorder", Hobert had just taken a few sips of tea when Todd came to report: he had found several factories that were being rented or sold.

So Hobert, led by Todd, went to the factory area, made an on-site observation, and took a fancy to a factory on Gear Avenue.

Without any workers settled in, this factory looks very huge, and the supporting facilities are relatively complete. Although it is very simple, there are dormitories and canteens.

At this time, there was no concept of an industrial park. Among the entire factory areas, this was a relatively large factory building.

The rent was 5000 pounds for half a year and 9000 pounds for a year. The landlord was only willing to rent it out and was not very willing to sell it, so if he wanted to buy it, he offered a high price of 15 pounds.

Hobert is very wealthy now, but he feels very uncomfortable if he is asked to spend 15 pounds all of a sudden.

So on the carriage ride back, Hobert decided to rent it.

Todd suggested renting for half a year first, which would save upfront costs. Another point he didn't mention was that it could also reduce losses if the benefits were not good.

Hobert nodded slowly: "What you said makes sense. 5000 pounds doesn't sound like a big sum of money. It will reduce the financial pressure on our early investment. There are many benefits. So go and rent it for two years and discuss it with the other party. , the best two-year rent can be reduced to 15000 pounds! Or even lower!”

Todd was stunned: Didn't I make it clear just now?Or did I hear wrongly?

……

In the blink of an eye, it was evening. After dinner, Hobert called Dennis to go for a walk in the backyard.

At this time, many vegetations have been replanted in the backyard of Earl's Mansion, the pond has been repaired, some ornamental fish have been stocked in it, and some aquatic plants have been planted.

Under the illumination of the gas street lamp, Backlund's unique thin mist made the surrounding scene somewhat hazy.

Walking on the path in the forest, Hobert said to Dennis: "I called you out because I wanted to tell you something very important."

Dennis followed half a step behind, listening attentively.

"Your father went to the Teutonic Viscount to complete a mission of mine. At present, his mission has been completed and he has returned home." Hobert smiled and said: "I will give you five days' leave. Go back and have a rest. "

Dennis froze there for a few seconds, feeling happy for a while, missing his father for a while, and very complicated for a while.

After he came to his senses, he quickly followed Hobert: "Sir, so my father has been loyal to you for a long time?"

"Yes." Hobert continued to walk forward unhurriedly: "Don't blame your father. His work at the time needed to be kept secret and he could not tell anyone."

Dennis nodded: "I know, I won't blame him."

"Go back and clean up, and come back to the territory with me tomorrow morning!"

……

At eight o'clock on Wednesday morning, Hobert took Dennis and 35 noble children to the Lord's Mansion in Jeffrey City using the "Traveler's Gate".

This wonderful journey amazed the noble children who had come into contact with the extraordinary, and made the noble children who had never come into contact with the extraordinary feel as if they were in a dream.

They originally thought it would take several days by boat to reach the count's fiefdom, but they didn't expect to arrive in just a blink of an eye.

Corwin has been waiting here for a long time. He has a spell that Hobert purchased in advance that can make him proficient in Feneport language within a month.

Such spells are very cheap. If you order them in bulk from "Lieutenant General Iceberg", they only cost 6 silver riso.

In addition, Hobert also purchased a batch of talismans that would permanently use Rune, and planned to give these talismans to Conrad, Kerwin and others.

In the future, Hobert's development will focus on the Loen Kingdom, so his main subordinates must be able to speak the Loen language and be proficient in the Loen script.

The arrival of more than 30 noble children has greatly alleviated the shortage of low-level cadres in the territory.

Now in the entire Jeffrey Territory, everyone who can read and write has been transferred to the town government. Even one of the cooks and many male servants in the Lord's Mansion have been transferred to work in the town government.

At the same time, a number of night schools were established to provide them with further training while working.

However, because the territory expanded too quickly, there was still a shortage of manpower.

Except for the former Jeffrey Town, the illiteracy rate is higher in other places, especially the West Bank. Under the previous devil's rule, except for the children of nobles, no one could read or write!
Therefore, Hobert brought these aristocratic children, on the one hand, it was indeed for their assessment, and on the other hand, it was also to relieve the pressure on manpower.

After Kerwin arranged this group of people, he attended the "Knights' Meeting" held by the lord in the afternoon. The participants were all knights canonized by the lord.

This meeting mainly discussed some issues at this stage, and Hobert assigned future development tasks.

One of Conrad's reports caught Hobert's attention: there were still a large amount of idle farmland on both sides of Full Moon Lake.

The reason for this phenomenon is that the population of South Colson has gradually declined in recent decades.

For example, the West Bank, where the devil ruled, has seen a population decrease of more than 50% in 40.00 years. The situation on the East Bank is better, but the population has also decreased by about [-]%.

Hobert asked, "What's the approximate population gap?"

"Currently, there are about 3 people." Conrad said: "If the lost ground is recovered, the final gap may reach about [-]."

Hobert suddenly had a bold idea to recruit people from Backlund's East District to fill this gap!

His governing philosophy favors creating wealth rather than plundering it.

The reason why it is said to be "biased" is because Hobert's primitive accumulation almost came from plundering the enemy.

But he knows that such plundering cannot last long, so using the proceeds from plundering to invest and create more wealth is the right way.

But no matter what kind of investment, it requires manpower to operate. In this era, population is very critical.

As long as there is a population, there will be inexhaustible wealth, and one's own strength will have a steady stream of follow-up power.

In this current era of overcapacity, the population is also in excess for the countries in the Northern Continent, which has created the slums of Backlund.

In fact, the views of the countries in the Northern Continent are not entirely correct. This phenomenon is caused by uneven population distribution, and is not a real overpopulation.

"I plan to fill this gap from Backlund." The more Hobert thought about it, the more feasible this method became: "We should be prepared to receive the corresponding people here. I can only supplement the population from Backlund. Conduct simple training.

"Their status should only be able to speak simple Feneport language. In addition, they have nothing to offer, so we must be prepared to provide them with food and tools for a period of time."

Conrad nodded: "This is not a big problem!"

Then he asked: "Do we need to move the local population together?"

Hobert pondered for a while and shook his head: "Let them mix together! This will at most produce some conflicts in life, but if they are separated directly, serious antagonisms can easily arise."

During the second half of the meeting, they focused on another issue: the future development of the territory.

Most of the construction tasks around Jeffrey City have been completed. Tourism and the opening of waterways are already generating some income for the city. Of course, the main income currently comes from the auction house.

Now Jeffrey City has basically been responsible for its own profits and losses while ensuring the continuation of the project.

However, a lot of money has been spent on the construction of industrial zones, renovation and relief of new territories, etc.

There are currently two development methods. One is to wait for Jeffrey City to have income, about three months later, before developing other territories.

The other is to continue investing. As Jeffrey City develops, it also develops new territories.

Most people support the previous development model, because the current population in the territory is seriously insufficient. Even if some people can be replenished, it will take time. Therefore, even if there is investment, there is still a lack of sufficient manpower required for construction.

Hobert thought for a while: "The industrial area cannot stop! The development of other areas must continue as long as manpower allows."

Hobert had already made preparations before he came, and wanted to give Philip the 3 gold ripostes he had received from selling the ancient Azure Dragon Beast's extraordinary properties, as well as another 2 pounds in cash and gold.

This money was all earned from Tarot meetings in the past two months, as well as the money previously sold to Leonard "criminal" for his extraordinary characteristics, and the gold paid by the Balk family.

In this way, Jeffrey had another 54000 gold riso, and he was very rich in money.

Then in addition to continuing to build the industrial zone, we will also build two bridges, new docks, harden the roads between towns, etc.

Anyway, there are a lot of things to be busy with!

As for the products to be produced in the industrial zone, Hobert has already thought about it and will produce various daily necessities. First, it will alleviate the shortage of industrial products in the South Colson area and everything needs to be purchased elsewhere.

The second reason is that these products have no technical barriers. The machines are basically not difficult to buy, and a few technicians with high salaries can get started.

Moreover, the labor requirements are not high, and the group of fanatical believers who are currently building the industrial park will be able to do the job.

The meeting ended with Hobert finally setting the tone.

After taking a short rest, Hobert went to the Special Operations Department to meet Captain Dunn, who had deep eyes.

After Captain Dunn's hair became thicker, Hobert was a little uncomfortable with it.

During this period, Captain Dunn has led his team to the West Bank twice for "internships". Once he captured a "cold-blooded person" who sneaked into the territory again, and once he captured a "secret prayer" who came to the Aurora Society to inquire about information.

Captain Dunn’s rich experience is an eye-opener for other members!

"We must establish a branch on the West Coast!" Captain Dunn said as soon as he saw Hobert.
