Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 651: Separation from the Nobles

What Hobert didn't expect was that Audrey would be promoted again so soon.

Originally, she could wait and stabilize her condition, but the war gave her a great sense of urgency.

So after several days of preparation, Audrey tried to advance to Sequence 5.

In fact, it was mainly Hobert who was helping her prepare. The extraordinary characteristics used for promotion were Hobert's inventory a long time ago, one of which was captured by Hvin Rambis, a member of the jury of the Psychological Alchemy Society.

There was also an extraordinary characteristic of the "Dream Walker", which he had forgotten where he had captured it from. It seemed like it was from Archibald or from Adam's island.

Now Hobert no longer counts the extraordinary characteristics of demigods and below. He usually throws them on the stone platform when offering sacrifices to the "Land of Disorder".

Search again when needed. Anyway, Hobert's spirituality is very sensitive now. Even if he does not make statistics on extraordinary characteristics, his spirituality will definitely give some hints when needed. Just search for it.

As for the auxiliary materials needed for promotion, for Hobert, who has two extraordinary auction houses, it is easy to obtain auxiliary materials of this level.

Audrey found that the only thing she could do was to ask Mr. Fool to help her stay awake in her dream.

This is the ceremony for promotion to Sequence 5.

"Some extraordinary people may die." Hobert replied: "But ordinary people should not die much. After all, the combat effectiveness of the troops of those earth kings and warlords is beyond words."

If it were before, he would have thought that Hobert was crazy, but after experiencing the business war in Backlund, he had realized that Hobert's way of thinking about problems was different from his, or from most people.

This is not the first time that these weapons have been used on the battlefield, but they have basically been used on colonial battlefields before.

"So in my opinion, it is better to start the civil war in the early days of the founding of the country to avoid making the situation more complicated."

The last time a large-scale war broke out in the Northern Continent was hundreds of years ago, when the Fusac Empire and Roen fought for Sonia Island.

At that time, more than one-fifth of the soldiers on both sides would be killed, and both sides would have to wait for new recruits from the rear to be sent to the front before they could launch a new offensive.

If she encounters a very dangerous dream, Audrey's spirituality should issue an early warning to prevent her from entering such a dream.

The senior officials of both sides are a little confused about the current casualties.

After another two or three minutes, Audrey used "comfort" and "psychological suggestion" to quickly stabilize her state: "It's not as difficult as imagined."

Audrey took note of Hobert's reminder, and then discussed her abilities with Hobert.

Then of course they talked about the situation in the Southern Continent. Earl Hall asked Hobert: "I heard that the situation in the Southern Balam Principality is a little unstable?"

Still under the care of Hobert, Audrey took the magic potion, and then stood there motionless like a stone sculpture for two or three minutes. It seemed that her soul returned to her body, with some trembling or expression changes. Class actions.

"Practice more 'hypnosis' in normal times, or practice 'psychological suggestion' in dreams. After all, you are a 'dream walker', and your abilities may be more effective in dreams."

The conversation ended here because Earl Hall and Hibbert realized that the strategies pursued in Loen's political arena were completely different from building a country.

"That's right." Hobert said seriously: "If a country does not go through a war to eliminate all the original interest groups at the beginning of its establishment, then in the following years, there is a high probability that the country's internal members will only compromise with each other. And wrangling.

Hibbert asked Hobert: "Is this your plan?"

Audrey asked in a low voice: "Hobert, will many people die in the civil war?"

During the meal, everyone first discussed the current war situation.

Relatively speaking, this approach is easier to maintain in good condition.

Audrey nodded and shared the promotion process with Hobert: "It turns out that the function of that ceremony is to prevent me from getting lost in dreams."

Hobert smiled and said: "It can only be said that the situation is different and the way to solve the problem is also different."

Audrey nodded: "I understand."

Just like the last time he was promoted, this time Hobert used his visit to Earl Hall's mansion to supervise Audrey's promotion.

The two discussed the issue of extraordinary abilities for a while, and then went to a restaurant to eat together.

But from what Hobert said, it seemed that he had no intention of making any compromises in the South Balam Principality.

Who are the warlords and local kings of the Southern Continent who are the opponents of this colonial army with advanced weapons? The battles between the colonial armies were generally small in scale, and basically did not result in the current artillery attack.

But at the same time, they are doing their best as a country to put more soldiers and weapons into the battlefield in the hope that their opponents will not be able to sustain it first.

Earl Hall estimated that the war may last until November before the first phase of the battle may come to an end.

According to incomplete statistics, the war only lasted for about a month, and the casualties on Loen's side alone exceeded 40!

As the attacker, the Fusac Empire was definitely not much better, but because both sides still had great potential for war, the battle was still very tense.

At that time, there were no such powerful artillery. This war was tantamount to testing the results of the industrial revolution and scientific and technological development for more than a hundred years.

Audrey said "Oh": "I didn't expect that the world would become so turbulent at the end of this year."

"It doesn't matter if everything is profitable, and everyone will be very harmonious on the surface. But once the benefits are not so lucrative, civil war will most likely break out in order to compete for the benefits.

"To be precise, it is very chaotic." Hobert smiled and said: "The local kings and warlords are unwilling to hand over their territory and governance, and a civil war may break out in the South Balam Principality."

Earl Hall commented: "This is a good idea, although this idea is somewhat different from some contemporary ideas."

Currently, the situation is relatively optimistic for Roen. The only thing that worries the Parliament and the government is that a large number of large-caliber artillery and a large number of heavy machine guns were used in this battle, causing a large number of casualties to frontline soldiers.

After dinner, several people took a walk in the garden as usual.

Hibbert also nodded slowly. Based on the education he has received and the experience gained from practice, politics seems to be a process of mutual compromise.

Hobert reminded: "Even if you are a 'Dream Walker' now, you must be careful when you are in the dream. If you accidentally jump into the dream of an Extraordinary who is not in good condition, you will also be affected."

I'm afraid it's not a very dangerous dream, but it will be affected.

Hobert expressed his opinion: "The ability of the 'spectator' pathway is not suitable for fighting the enemy head-on. It is more suitable for hiding, quietly affecting the target's status, and then suddenly attacking when the time is right to directly kill the opponent." .

Hobert smiled and said, "That's because you digested the potion pretty well, and you did a lot of psychological suggestion before taking the potion."

Hobert said: "When the royal family begins to carry out their plans, a series of wars are destined to occur."

Of course Audrey knew that the "royal plan" that Hobert mentioned was His Majesty the King's plan to become a god.

But at this time, Audrey had already figured out many issues. She realized that the world was originally full of barbarism and chaos, but this time it was just that these barbarities and chaos were brought to the light.

……

Late at night, the northernmost part of Sunia Island.

The cold wind howls here, rolling up the snow on the top of the mountain and scattering it everywhere, as if there is a blizzard all the time.

On the leeward side of the snow, there was a small stone cave that let out smoke, but the smoke was instantly dispersed by the strong wind, as if it had never existed.

Ten meters down along these smoke passages is a warm underground structure.

At this time, there were two Beyonders from the Tamara family baking the sea fish they caught during the day with their extraordinary abilities.

In the inner room, the sallow-faced Peddie Tamara was lying on the stone bed with her eyes closed.

In the previous battle with the "Creator", Peidi's spirit body suffered some injuries and needed to be nursed back to health for a while to recover.

Suddenly, Peidi opened his eyes and looked outside. The space there suddenly became illusory. A young boy of fifteen or sixteen years old who didn't look very good came out of the spirit world. It was Eris.

The injuries caused to him by the Lord of Storms had not yet healed.

And behind him was Tamara who looked like a servant.

The skin color of the family members all tends to be sallow, and it is not known whether Tamara has a family inheritance or if he is not feeling well.

After the two of them appeared, the two family members who were grilling fish were "imprisoned" by Tamara just as they stood up.

Peidi got up from the stone bed, stood at the door of the stone room, stared at the two uninvited guests and said coldly: "What are you doing here?"

Tamara asked, "Why didn't you join us?"

Peidi smiled: "Before this, I never thought that in order to attack us, you would even expose the hiding place for so many years to the 'creator'."

"You should know very well." Tamara said expressionlessly: "It was your lover Althea who exposed our valley!

"I've said it before, it's just a slave, just for fun, but you actually have real feelings for me."

Peidi said "ha": "You will never understand, because you no longer have any humanity more than a thousand years ago!"

Then he said: "It is precisely because you have lost your humanity that in order to attack us, you did not hesitate to let a demigod who supports you stay in the valley.

"Now you are happy, there are only a few of us left."

Eris suddenly said: "I'm very curious, why don't you want to believe in me?"

"Why else? Because you are the evil god."

Eris said seriously: "Which god is not an evil god?"

Pedi looked at him coldly: "That's why none of us want to believe."

Eris shook his head, expressing his disappointment in Pedi.

Tamara continued: "I indulged you too much before. Of course, this also has something to do with the despicable Seven Gods. If they hadn't killed my father because they needed the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Hand of Order', Tamara would have The Mara family will not be divided.

"I have figured out over the years that our split is because there are two Sequence 2s in the family, which gives you the confidence to oppose me.

"If my father was still alive and there was a 'Hand of Order' in the family, you would never have dared to initiate a civil war.

"Another reason is that the Abraham family members are too strong. These idiots thought Mr. Door could protect them.

"It's okay now. The 'Creator' helped me severely damage the power of division, and I have the family's extraordinary characteristics reserve in my hand. Now I just need time to re-train a group of family members.

"From now on, the Tamara family will be a unified family. As the patriarch, I can command all family members. I no longer have to go through the bullshit council to argue with you."

Peidi looked at Tamara, who had a sallow complexion. He suddenly felt that the person in front of him was a bit strange.

The stone room was quiet for two or three seconds before Peidi finally said: "In order to achieve your goal, many of your followers also died. Do you think it was worth it?"

"It's worth it!" Tamara said: "They stabilized you and prevented you from leaving the valley because of possible leaks. This is a necessary sacrifice.

"Of course, part of the reason is that we underestimate the power of the 'creator'."

He paused and then said: "According to our speculation before this, the character of 'The Founder' looks very scary, but it is even difficult for him to deal with a Sequence 2.

"What I didn't expect was that the battle ended so cleanly, otherwise we would have been able to evacuate some of our people."

Peidi added: "Then we have discussed many times before that if the 'creator' knows our hiding place, he will organize another extraordinary war as soon as possible, and we will definitely be aware of it.

"But from the beginning to the end, the 'founders' did not carry out large-scale mobilization, which made us lose our vigilance.

"But why do you believe so firmly that He will definitely come? So you have made so many preparations in advance."

It was Eris who answered him: "Because if he wants to find me, he only has the Tamara family as a clue.

"But what I didn't expect was that the 'Creator' would attack in such a way. Originally, I wanted to take the opportunity to pollute his subordinates, and based on the opportunity he gave his subordinates to remove the pollution, I would compete with him again for the 'State of Disorder' 'of.

"I didn't expect that I wasn't given any chance at all."

Pedi nodded: "I understand."

Tamara asked, "Do you have any more questions?"

"Yes. When did you completely abandon your humanity?"

Tamara said expressionlessly: "When I had to kill my father with my own hands."

Peidi said calmly: "I have no problem."

Tamara said calmly: "You can die without worries."

Peidi smiled: "You don't think that the conversation I just had with you was because I really wanted to chat with you, right?

"You don't think that since I see your faces clearly, I don't make any preparations, do you?"

When he said this, his figure became illusory: "Goodbye, you two."

Eris smiled and watched Pedi disappear, but in the next second, Pedi reappeared in front of Eris and Tamara.

Peidi was stunned for a moment, and then asked in great surprise: "You, what did you just do?"

"Hahaha~" Eris laughed arrogantly for a few times before saying: "You don't think that you fought the 'Creator' twice and were barely suppressed by his personality. It's really because of you My own strength, right?

"You don't think that as long as you don't believe in me, as long as you don't come into contact with the mist, you won't be contaminated by me, right?"

He commented: "What a naive young man."

"Impossible." Peidi fell into deep self-doubt: "I, why don't I feel that I am contaminated?"

"Of course you can't feel it." Eris continued: "Because your surname is Tamara."

Peidi seemed to understand something: "My bloodline..."

Eris smiled and said: "Yes, you have been my believer since you were born.

"Of course, your resistance has some effect. Before this, I wasn't sure I could kill you.

"But now, thanks to the 'Creator', your spirit body has been harmed, giving me an excellent opportunity."

He imitated Peidi's tone just now: "You don't think that I heard you guys talking just now because the content of your chat was interesting, right?"

As he spoke, Eris took out a thin-necked glass bottle, and the mist inside was emitting colorful light.

The Eris in front of Pedi became very majestic, and he even knelt down on one knee unconsciously.

He fought hard, but the surrender now seemed to have been buried in his blood a long time ago. Surrender to Eris at this time was as common sense as eating and sleeping.

Tamara stepped forward with a black knife in his hand. He just gestured at Pedi, who had no power to resist, and Pedi's head fell off his neck.

But Pedi was not dead yet. His head rolled on the ground, still staring at Tamara.

So Tamara reached out and patted Pedi's shoulder again, and Pedi's body collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As a "balancer", you can bring everything around you back into balance, but you can also make your target lose balance.

At this time, Pedi's body lost its "balance" and collapsed quickly. However, Pedi was not dead yet. He just lost his normal human body.

Under the influence of Tamara's ability, the extraordinary characteristics in Peidi's body began to precipitate.

Pedi has been resisting, but Eris has been using the mist in his hand to suppress his blood. Pedi's resistance has little effect.

Ten minutes later, the Extraordinary Characteristics in Peidi's body were completely released. Eris reached out to pick up the Extraordinary Characteristics and breathed a long sigh of relief: "I finally got it. I originally planned to send you to William I in a few days. Now I can prevent you from dying in Backlund due to an accident."

Pedi's body was still squirming at this time, and it would take a long time for his spirit and spirit to disappear.

During this time, he will most likely turn into an evil spirit. Eris put away his extraordinary characteristics: "Unfortunately, now is not a good time for promotion."

Tamara said nothing and silently killed the two family members who had been grilling fish just now and had opposed him.

……

At the beginning of November, Hobert stayed in the South Balam Principality for a few more days. He mainly wanted to see how chaotic the place was.

Although all the local kings and generals in the principality were placed under house arrest in Angelou by Hobert, Hobert did not use thunderbolt means to recruit their armies and dissolve their bureaucracy.

In the eyes of the local kings and generals, the Duke's behavior was very stupid!

This gave their heirs and subordinates enough space to mobilize their own forces and connect with each other to jointly resist the rule of the duke.

Of course Hobert did this on purpose. He needed a chaos now to completely digest the potion.

Although a large-scale war broke out in the Northern Continent, Hobert found that the chaos caused by the war did not allow his potion to be digested to any extent.

On the contrary, the chaos caused by the sneak attack on Sheng Milon and the chaos caused by the sales call allowed his potion to be digested to a certain extent.

After Backlund was bombed, people who had seen telephones installed one in their homes so that they could go to work with peace of mind.

As soon as there is any trouble, call home and ask about the situation at home.

In addition, after the war started, the faster the dissemination of information, the better. Direct communication through language was much faster than the process of sending telegrams, and it was also very accurate and could be confirmed repeatedly.

Stores selling phones were suddenly crowded, and after everyone experienced the Backlund bombing, the cloud of fear never dissipated from their hearts, and people became very irritable.

Many people queued up all day but failed to buy a phone. In anger, they beat up the phone salesperson. Some people wanted to set fire to the phone, but were stopped.

At the same time, it is also very easy for conflicts to occur between people queuing up.

Although these chaos are small in scale, Hobert can constantly feel the feedback caused by the chaos.

Hobert also understood that only the chaos related to himself or caused by himself could make the potion digest.

At the same time, because he often goes crazy, and the audience is either demigods or angels, the acting effect is very good. Currently, Hobert is in good condition and is only a little short of being able to completely digest the potion.

But what disappoints Hobert is that after the heirs of the earth kings and warlords united, they were not weak in the southern continent, but they still sent envoys to negotiate with Hobert.

This made Hobert realize: it is difficult for people who are used to kneeling to stand up again.

So he simply cut off the envoy's ear and asked the envoy to go back and tell the successors that they were traitors to the South Balam Principality, and the principality's army would wipe out their entire family!

Hobert sighed, if these people continue to be cowardly, then they can only take the initiative.

But in that case, the level of chaos in the principality will not be very serious, and the potion may not be completely digested.

During the past few days in the South Balam Principality, Hobert also invited Georgina to visit the army of the South Balam Principality from a distance and "drive away" the fighting of the Fusac Empire's colonial army.

Georgina was very satisfied with the duchy's response speed. She negotiated a deal with Hobert to purchase the teleportation array blueprints while still in Angelou City.

In fact, there is nothing to talk about. Everything that should be discussed has been discussed before. Now we just want to confirm it again.

Originally, Hobert planned to stay in the South Balam Principality for a few days, but Dophis used the teleportation array to report that Count Vincent had sent people to invite Hobert to the dance three times.

Dophis refused the previous two times on the grounds that the Earl was on a business trip. When it came to the third invitation, it was Earl Vincent's youngest son Carl who came to extend the invitation and made it clear to Dophis that many nobles in Backlund, Jointly invite Duke Hobart to the ball.

And these nobles have one thing in common. Their children are either middle- and low-level officials in Hobert's territory, or managers of "Earl's Light". They are all from the families of the children of the nobles recruited by Hobert before. .

Dophis immediately realized that these people may have formed a loose alliance, so he reported the news to Hobert.

Hobert had only recruited a few groups of aristocratic children before, and he stopped recruiting them after the manpower shortage passed, just because he was afraid that these people would form a group.

It seems now that Hobert's concerns at that time were very prescient. Fortunately, their number was not large. If there were more people, they might form an interest group.

After all, this is the specialty of the Backlund nobles.

After thinking about it, Hobert decided to attend the ball and listen to the appeals of the noble children. In addition, he also remembered a small thing.

Viscount Gray Lint had asked him twice before to help get back a family ring, but unfortunately Hobert never found a suitable opportunity. This dance was a good time.

So after Hobert returned to Backlund, he first asked Viscount Gray Lint for some hair, and then went to Count Vincent's mansion to attend the dance as promised.

When Hobert got off the carriage, many earls and viscounts were at the door to greet him, but the barons and lords were not even qualified to greet him.

Hobert greeted them politely, and they all entered the ballroom together.

Only then did Hobert discover that the nobles he had recruited several times actually involved seventy or eighty nobles, large and small.

It took more than half an hour to greet them one by one and exchange a few words.

At this time, Vincent announced that the ball had officially begun. The Earl loved food very much, and the banquet he held was also a feast of food.

It's just that this time Hobert didn't have time to enjoy it, he spent all of it talking with the nobles.

The main people talking to Hobert were Earl Vincent, Earl Minnis and several other counts. Other nobles gathered around them and listened to their conversation.

Half a year ago, they had no idea that the less promising heirs who came to Hobert to make their own way would provide them with a very good investment environment.

After the long chat ended, Count Vincent with golden hair said: "Your Majesty, first of all, I would like to thank you for taking care of the children in the past period of time.

“We heard some information from them about the Principality of South Balam, and in return we are willing to help the Principality tide over the difficulties.

“Although the army of the Kingdom of Loen has withdrawn from there, it does not mean that the Kingdom of Loen has completely lost its influence there.

"We have more or less interests with those local kings and warlords. We can help you persuade them to stop the civil strife and return their loyalty to you."

Hobert immediately understood that they wanted to use the process of persuading the earth kings and warlords to make those agents of the Loen Kingdom in the southern continent become their agents.

So he smiled and said: "Three days ago, I just met with the envoys of the Tuwang and the warlords, and announced to them that they were traitors to the Nanbailang Principality."

Several Earls had some surprises on their faces. After a moment or two of silence, Earl Minis said: "Your Majesty, would this easily anger them?"

Hobert was stunned for a moment and realized that he was not on the same channel as these nobles.

What he said just now means: Don't worry about it, I will "persuade" them with guns and cannons. When they are all turned into corpses, the civil strife will stop.

But in the eyes of these nobles, things seemed to be getting worse.

Hobert recalled the surprised expressions of Earl Hall and his son when they heard about his plan.

Bechlade's long-term peace and pampering have made them accustomed to solving problems in the safest way.

So Hobert added: "In my opinion, this civil war must be fought!"

He added seriously: "Sometimes playing it safe is not a good thing, especially for an emerging country, it must look more radical.

"When the country was first founded, it was like an old man who couldn't walk, then the country would not have any vitality."

The surrounding nobles were stunned. According to the information they received from their respective channels, they all believed that Hobert had no chance of victory in this civil war.

After all, Hobert had only taken over Longtail Island for more than half a year and did not have time to recruit and train a large number of soldiers.

And because the power of Extraordinaries is highly confidential, even Georgina doesn't know exactly how much Extraordinary power Hobert has. She can only guess based on the intelligence from the South Colson Extraordinary Battle.

It is impossible for these nobles to be very clear about Hobert's extraordinary strength. Many people believe that Hobert became arrogant because of his victory in the fight against the Gas Association.

Therefore, they misjudged the situation and thought that the Southern Continent would win a huge victory like in Backlund.

However, in the concept of the nobles, the Southern Continent is very barbaric. It does not have a solid system and moral system like Backlund. If the Southern Continent still uses the method of Backlund to solve problems, things will easily change. Out of control.

So they smelled business opportunities and thought this was an excellent time to invest in the South Balam Principality.

But Hobert's reaction far exceeded their expectations.

At this time, a viscount couldn't help but remind Hobert: "Mr. Duke, if the civil war breaks out completely, more interests may have to be sacrificed in order for their local kings and generals to continue to serve us."

Hobert handed the wine glass in his hand to the waiter: "Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom."

The impatience he showed at the right time seemed to disdain everyone having a debate in this area.

Under the leadership of the waiter, Hobert left the ballroom. The nobles first looked at each other, then "buzzed" and began to express their opinions.

Hobert came to the bathroom and said to himself: I never thought that one day I would also take advantage of Mr. Fool's "Kingdom of God".

In Earl Vincent's mansion, there will definitely be protection from Beyonders, and Vincent himself is very likely to be a Sequence 5. But for the current Hobert, just "tampering" with the surrounding spirituality is enough. It makes them completely unable to detect their own actions.

Then, Hobert took out a few hairs of Viscount Graylingt and made a "correlation" with them.

This immediately linked him to the location of the ring. After all, Hobert's current operating range of various abilities has reached six or seven kilometers.

He spread his spirituality and felt no signs of life around the ring, but it seemed like there was an extraordinary trap.

Hobert used his ability to "exploit" to easily temporarily disable the extraordinary trap.

Almost at the same second, Hobert used the ability to "distort" space to twist the ring and the container holding it into his hand.

It was a small wooden box made of solid wood and had no special protection.

So Hobert made the space around the lock become chaotic, easily let the copper lock pass through the lock nose, and took off the lock.

Opening the box, there are various gemstone rings inside.

Obviously Count Vincent didn't know about the ring passed down by Viscount Gralint's family, so he didn't take it seriously at all.

Hobert picked up the gemstone ring that Viscount Gray Lint said, injected it with spirituality, and recited the incantation in the ancient Fusac language: "Summer in Winter County."

The area around the gem ring suddenly became illusory, and a small illusory space appeared.

This is a small space magic that uses the characteristics of gems and "doors" to lead to extraordinary pathways. It is designed to be very hidden. It is no wonder that Vincent has not discovered it.

Hobert took out a few notebooks from this small space, then put the ring back, closed the wooden box, and once again used the chaos of the space to return the small lock to its original position.

Finally, Hobert once again avoided the extraordinary trap and sent the wooden box back.

After finishing all actions, Hobert waved his hand slightly, "distorting" the air around the toilet switch, causing the air to push against the switch.

Hula~

Hobert smiled. After becoming Sequence 3, he became lazier and lazier.

When Hobert finished washing his hands and took the servant's towel to wipe his hands, the bathroom door suddenly opened, and Earl Vincent's youngest son Carl came in from the outside: "Mr. Lord."

At this time, Karl's skin was rough and dark. Compared with more than a year ago, he was much more stable and mature.

Hobert asked casually as he walked out: "How is your work lately?"

"The town I'm responsible for ranks first among town-level units in grain production this quarter." Karl followed and smiled.

Hobert glanced at Karl: "Isn't it very good?"

"It's okay, okay." Carl said modestly: "We are all very grateful to you for providing us with this platform."

Originally, they were all marginal figures in the family and were not taken seriously.

But in Hobert's territory, they found a way to realize their self-worth.

At this time, Karl had already begun a new round of inspections because of his good political performance, and was preparing to let him serve as a county magistrate of the South Balam Principality.

Corradi, another member of the "Justice League", was also not taken seriously in the family, which even made her very insecure for a time.

But during an assessment hosted by Donna, she took a fancy to Corradi's patience and carefulness, so she gave her a chance.

Corradi cherished that opportunity and received a very crucial promotion.

Corradi is currently the personnel director of Longtail Island City, and is currently the highest-ranking official among the noble children.

At this time, Karl said again: "I'm sorry, my father asked me some questions about Longwei Island before. I really wanted to let them know about the great changes that happened on Longwei Island, so I answered some non-confidential questions.

"Just two days ago, my father suddenly asked me to come back. When I learned that Corradi and the others were also asked many questions about Longtail Island, I realized something was wrong.

"But I didn't expect at the time that my father and the others were actually planning to take advantage of this opportunity to infiltrate power into the Southern Balang Principality."

Having said this, the two people stopped outside the dance hall.

Karl said helplessly: "They are completely unaware of their mistakes? They still hope to solve the problem with the way they handled things in Backlund. Please don't take it off. After the dance, I will give my father some advice."

"It doesn't matter." Hobert smiled and said, "Just think of it as coming to taste the delicacies of Earl Vincent's Mansion."

He originally thought that the aristocratic children had invited Count Vincent and others to fight for higher official positions for them.

At present, it seems that these nobles are just guilty of "speculation", and noble children like Karl have not followed the same trend as their fathers.

Although the relationship between them is very close, they are not united as Hobert had previously guessed.

This made Hobert very satisfied, which meant that the transformation of these noble children was very successful!

Returning to the ballroom again, Count Vincent and the others wanted to discuss with Hobert the issue of curbing the civil war in South Balam Principality, but Hobert went there to enjoy the food on the grounds that he was hungry.

After he finished his meal and praised the cooking skills of the chef at Earl Vincent's Palace, he left immediately.

Although this is somewhat rude, he is a Duke of Loen after all. If he wants to leave, no one has the right to stop him.

In the ballroom, the nobles once again discussed how to let Hobert know the seriousness of the civil strife. At the same time, they called their children in the corner of the ballroom to ask them for some information.

Only then did they realize that something was wrong with the atmosphere, or that something was wrong with the way their children looked at them.

Originally, these children who were not taken seriously were very docile when they met them. Even after they got an official position under Hobert, they still respected them very much.

But now, they saw disdain on the faces of these children.

At this time, Karl said: "Everyone, there is one thing you have made wrong. We are confident of winning this civil war."

A nobleman sarcastically said: "War cannot be fought with confidence."

Karl didn't say much, just said: "Let's wait and see."

After saying that, he also left the ballroom, and other noble children left one after another.

At this time, the nobles present realized that in order to gain profits in the South Balam Principality, they had to use the channels of these children, so they also hastily dispersed.

……

After Hobert returned to the Earl's Mansion, he first went to his study to read the notes that were regarded as treasures by the Graylingt family.

What Hobert didn't expect was that this family turned out to be a branch of the Tamara family.

To be precise, the origin of this family was an extraordinary family that escaped from the valley where the Tamara family was hiding more than 800 years ago. The situation was similar to Upton's.

He thought to himself: No wonder the spell to open the ring is "Summer in Winter County". The valley where the Tamara family hides is in Winter County.
