"Not environmentally friendly?" Hobert thought he had misheard. "Electricity isn't environmentally friendly?"
Earl Hall smiled. "It's said they saw such a large chimney at the power plant, emitting large amounts of white smoke every day, which apparently violates the current Atmospheric corruption Investigation Committee's relevant laws."
"Ah, I understand." Hobert nodded, a smile appearing on his face. "Clearly, it's a misunderstanding caused by their lack of understanding of how power plants operate."
Earl Hall, however, put away his smile and said, "Things are not that simple. I hope you can handle it carefully."
Hobert smiled. "Thank you for your reminder. At the latest by next week, 'Earl's Light' will have a response."
Earl Hall said nothing more, chatted with Hobert for a few more words, and then gave the central position of the ball back to Hobert and Audrey.
Watching her father leave, Audrey asked, "Hobert, is the power plant really causing a lot of pollution?"
Hobert smiled. "Do you have time tomorrow? How about I take you to visit the power plant?"
Audrey smiled helplessly. "Tomorrow might not work. Well, probably not for the next few days, because the elders in the family, and the elders on my mother's side, will probably come to inquire about our relationship. I have to entertain them."
Hobert nodded. "That's okay. We'll visit the power plant together next week."
He smiled and added, "Once you've visited the power plant, you'll know that their so-called environmental concerns are a complete joke."
"Or rather, whether it's environmentally friendly or not isn't their main point!"
"The main point is that the appearance of 'Earl's Light' has suddenly taken too much market share in the lighting industry. That's the main conflict between them and me."
Hobert took a deep breath and said, "Submitting a report to the council is just their first step, to gain some attention with it."
"I've even figured out what they'll do next. People will definitely die in Backlund because of electricity, and there will be many electrical accidents."
"Their goal is to use the fear of the unknown to suppress 'Earl's Light'."
Following this line of thought, Hobert suddenly realized that he was actually facing the entire gas industry's chain of interests, and the politicians who benefited from this industry.
With the wider application of electricity, conflicts with existing interest groups were almost inevitable.
They wouldn't think about who could better represent the future of humanity; they cared about their immediate interests.
This wasn't necessarily short-sightedness; it was just human nature.
Unless Hobert could publish all the current processes in the electricity industry, allowing the gas lamp industry to get a share of the pie in the electricity industry at a very low cost.
But for now, Hobert still needed to use "Earl's Light" to absorb massive amounts of funds to develop the Southern Continent's business. Before the next commercial action was fully rolled out, he didn't plan to release more of the monopolized technology.
Audrey listened to Hobert's analysis and asked with some worry, "Then what should we do?"
Hobert smiled. "There's nothing to worry about. Gas isn't without its safety hazards either."
He simply skipped the topic. "It seems you'll have to complete your advancement next week."
"Yes," Audrey said with some regret. "I'm just too busy this week."
"I have to be there when you advance."
Audrey smiled. "I know."
As they were chatting happily, some nobles excused themselves and left, and then many nobles followed suit.
Thus, the ball had to be stopped after only a few dances.
Hobert and Audrey also joined the ranks of seeing guests off. After seeing off most of the nobles, Hobert smiled and said, "It seems their congratulations just now were equivalent to farting."
Audrey said seriously, "Hobert, your language is very ungentlemanly."
Hobert nodded. "It's indeed not gentlemanly enough. Let me rephrase it: their congratulations just now were like releasing gas from the lower middle part of their bodies."
"Ah, it's good to have attended grammar school. You can describe it so appropriately."
Audrey covered her mouth and chuckled, then put her hand down and cleared her throat. "I don't care."
She said seriously, "Even if all of Backlund opposes our relationship, I don't care."
Hobert naturally put his hand on Audrey's waist, and while walking back to the ballroom, he said, "It's not that serious. Their departure at this time is probably just because they're afraid of losing face. Anyway, I don't take it to heart."
Returning to the entrance of the ballroom, Audrey pushed Hobert's hand off her waist. "I'm just afraid it will create more enemies for 'Earl's Light'."
"Don't worry," Hobert said confidently. "They don't know what the true meaning of 'Earl's Light' is."
Audrey was taken aback. "What is it?"
Hobert smiled. "You'll understand when you start working at 'Earl's Light'."
As they spoke, the two returned to the ballroom.
Many nobles who were close to Christian and Earl Hall hadn't left, as well as Hobert and Audrey's friend Viscount Glaint, and Baron Bradley, whom Hobert had saved before, among others.
Hebrew sighed, "I didn't expect them to be so lacking in gentlemanly conduct."
"I think we should have gentlemanly conduct in this regard," Hobert laughed. "They probably just can't accept that the 'Jewel of Backlund' has taken a liking to an ugly and poor brat."
"I think if they continued to stay here, they might really cry."
"So we should have gentlemanly conduct and let them go."
The young people laughed heartily together.
Hibbert also laughed a few times rather unkindly before saying, "Your sarcasm is really sharp!"
If Hobert was ugly and poor, then there would be no handsome and wealthy young people in Backlund.
Everyone held a small-scale dance party again, happily and lively until about ten o'clock in the evening before it ended.
Hobert, who returned to the Earl's mansion, fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. His sleep had been very good these days.
On Friday, Hobert finally had time to rest for a day.
He spent most of his time by the window, staring blankly at the garden outside, only occasionally considering his next plan.
After resting for a day, Hobert felt his spirits were very high, so he went to MI9 to work on Saturday.
As soon as he arrived at the office, Hobert asked his secretary, Sharlene, to bring the files on the Aurora Order.
The Demoness Sect had been badly damaged, and they would definitely lie dormant for a while, making it difficult to launch new attacks against them in the short term.
Then it would naturally be the Aurora Order's turn.
There were many files about the Aurora Order, and it took two file room clerks to help move them all to Hobert's office.
Hobert looked at them for a while and found that most of these files were about the tragic cases created by members of the Aurora Order.
Moreover, he discovered that many cases were clearly not the Aurora Order's actions, but because they had not been solved for a long time, they had become the Aurora Order's doing.
Not only did these lunatics in the Aurora Order not defend themselves, but sometimes they would even take the blame for many cases.
So they became "scapegoats." Sometimes when MI9 did things that couldn't be seen in the light and had to find an explanation, they would also frame the Aurora Order.
Pushing aside the files on these types of cases, only a dozen files remained.
Hobert looked through them and found that the information about the Aurora Order's strongholds, personnel, etc., in Backlund was very detailed.
After a little thought, Hobert quickly understood that this should be the information that MI9 had obtained while cooperating with the Aurora Order.
Hobert carefully looked at the information about these Aurora Order members.
He planned to have Xio verify it, and then organize a wave of assassinations to see if he could lure out any big fish.
As for whether the Aurora Order could find out that the mastermind behind all this was Earl Hobert based on the information provided by MI9, that would be great. Hobert could sit back and wait for their demigod to come to his door to die.
The recent victory had increased the power that Hobert could control a lot, especially the three demigods of the Balk family, who could now be freely mobilized in the name of the "Creator."
The change this brought to Hobert was that before the war, he had to find opportunities to attack the Aurora Order while trying to avoid being noticed by them.
But now it was different. Hobert could openly investigate them and not be afraid of having a head-on conflict with them.
After such a change, Hobert suddenly discovered that he had many more methods at his disposal.
Hobert spent the entire morning reading the materials. After having lunch at MI9, he was about to continue reading the materials when Georgina suddenly pushed the door open.
Hobert put down the folder in his hand and smiled. "Chief, if there's anything, you can just have Sharlene convey it. Why did you come in person?"
As he spoke, he stood up and invited Georgina to sit on the sofa over there.
Georgina glanced at the files on Hobert's desk and asked, "I heard you're investigating the Aurora Order's files?"
"Yes," Hobert smiled. "The existence of these terrorists is a challenge to the peace of the entire Loen Kingdom."
"As a member of MI9, my sense of justice cannot tolerate their existence."
Georgina smiled and sat on the sofa. "Tell me the truth."
Hobert smiled. "I just got some information that the Aurora Order seems to have some connection with the Demoness Sect, so I wanted to investigate it."
This was the reason he had prepared long ago. Since they were cooperating with the Loen royal family, they must have some connection.
Georgina frowned. "Is there such a thing?"
"Yes."
However, Georgina didn't seem to care much about Hobert's answer. She asked again, "Actually, I'm very curious. Why are you so determined to eliminate the Demoness Sect?"
Hobert said meaningfully, "This is a goal, an order."
Georgina nodded thoughtfully. As for what she could think of, Hobert didn't care.
Then the duchess said again, "I'm going to hold a small ball next Friday. This is the invitation."
Hobert took the invitation. "You could have just had the secretary send it over."
Then he asked casually, "Who will be attending?"
"Some colleagues, a few friends, and a few members of the royal family."
Hobert smiled. "Thank you for your invitation. It's my honor."
Georgina got up and said as she walked out, "Oh, right, you'll be awarded a title next Wednesday. Remember to free up your time."
"Okay." Watching the chief leave, Hobert looked at the invitation in his hand again. He suddenly couldn't figure out if Georgina had come to test him or to deliver the invitation.
He shook his head and didn't think much about it, continuing to look at the materials in his hand.
After reading the materials in his hand, Hobert began to slack off.
In the evening, Hobert had nothing to do, so he locked the bedroom door early and came to the "Nation of Disorder."
Sitting on the "Iron Throne," Hobert pulled over the pile of Beyonder characteristics and began to count the spoils of this war.
First of all, the level 0 and Grade 1 Sealed Artifacts had already been classified.
Moreover, the news that the Demoness Sect had an angel who "cut off its tail to survive" and that the "Demoness of Black" had died was not announced in the externally released war report.
So only Hobert knew the specific situation of these two spoils for the time being.
In addition, there was also a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact, the crystal archway that Aipoli had given Hobert.
The only use of this archway might be to put it on the battlefield during battle and let some enemies who couldn't resist the temptation drill into it themselves.
Although it had the ability to roam the cosmos, there was a certain probability that it would be sent to the "Primordial Moon," which, for Hobert, was tantamount to courting death.
So, in Hobert's opinion, it would be better to crush this Sealed Artifact into Beyonder characteristics when needed.
In addition to this archway, there were also 9 Grade 2 Sealed Artifacts in terms of Sealed Artifact spoils.
These Sealed Artifacts came from the Demoness of Pleasure Council and the seizures from Angus and others.
After naming the crystal door "1-112," Hobert went to check the mountains of Beyonder characteristics.
It was not an exaggeration to use mountains of them this time, after all, there were nearly 300 Beyonder characteristics.
Hobert quickly classified them. Among them, there were 62 Beyonder characteristics of the "Door" pathway, 218 Beyonder characteristics of the "Witch" pathway, and 9 Beyonder characteristics of the "Hunter" pathway.
The Beyonder characteristics of the "Door" pathway were 1 "Secrets Sorcerer," 7 "Traveler," 23 "Scribe," and 31 "Astrologer" Beyonder characteristics.
No "low-sequence" Beyonder characteristics were seized, because no "low-sequence" Beyonders participated in this war from the Demoness of Pleasure Council.
The Beyonder characteristics of "Secrets Sorcerer" and "Traveler" were seized in the raid on Jeffrey City, and the other characteristics were seized from the front lines.
It could be said that the Demoness of Pleasure Council existed in name only after this battle. Perhaps a "Scribe" was the top combat power of the Demoness of Pleasure Council.
After classifying these Beyonder characteristics, Hobert waved his hand, and all the Beyonder characteristics of the "Hunter" and "Witch" pathways came before him.
The Beyonder characteristics of the "Hunter" pathway were 1 "Reaper," 1 "Conspirer," 3 "Pyromaniac," 3 "Provoker," and 1 "Hunter" Beyonder characteristic.
The "low-sequence" Beyonder characteristics were basically seized from the headquarters of the Demoness Sect.
According to the reports from Seel and others who cleaned up the battlefield, there were not only "low-sequence" Beyonders there, but also hundreds of servants such as chefs and coachmen.
None of them were spared, and they had already died the moment the corpse of the Ancient Death descended.
The members of the Demoness Sect had already sealed the fate of these ordinary people when they chose not to evacuate them before the war.
Hobert refocused and continued counting the spoils of war.
The spoils from the "Witch" pathway included 1 'Demoness of Unaging' characteristic, 9 'Demoness of Despair' characteristics, 19 'Demoness of Affliction' characteristics, 62 'Demoness of Pleasure' characteristics, 75 'Witch' characteristics, 33 'Instigator' characteristics, and 19 'Assassin' characteristics.
Looking at these spoils, Hobert estimated that they had wiped out about 70-80% of the Demoness Sect's middle management.
Even if they had the corresponding and sufficient Beyonder characteristics, it would take them at least three to five years to recover.
Moreover, they likely didn't have any Beyonder characteristics that could rapidly restore their strength, so it could be said that it would take them centuries to recover.
Thinking of this, Hobert smiled, very satisfied with the effect of the blow.
He glanced at the pile of Beyonder characteristics in front of him, which was precisely why he wanted to use them to build his own extraordinary force.
Because there were simply too many, even if Helen's team of 25 people ate them like meals, they couldn't finish them all.
Hobert couldn't just give them to Jonathan and the others for no reason, especially since he hadn't yet incorporated the Demoness of Pleasure Council.
Furthermore, Jonathan and the others had dual affiliations with the Abraham family and the Demoness of Pleasure Council, so their recognition of the 'Creator's' subordinates would be weaker.
Hobert wasn't comfortable with incorporating them on a large scale.
So, it was better to simply build his own force, even though it would be more troublesome, it was an investment for the future.
Next, Hobert was troubled by the problem of potion formulas.
The 'Door' pathway potion formulas could still be obtained from Fors, but what about the 'Witch' pathway potion formulas?
It should be known that one of the reasons the Tony family gave up these Beyonder characteristics was the difficulty in obtaining potion formulas.
Hobert sighed.
He could trade for relevant potion formulas from the Demoness of Pleasure Council, but it was unlikely they would have the complete 'Demoness of Despair' potion formula.
For a long time to come, the Demoness Sect would rarely appear in people's sight, and the chances of obtaining potion formulas would be even less.
Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly had a bold idea.
So, Hobert took an 'Instigator' Beyonder characteristic in his hand: 'Connection!'
Immediately, knowledge of dark magic and the 'Instigator' potion formula appeared in his mind: 'Sequence 8: Instigator'
'Main ingredients: the heart of a Demon Throat Honey, the venom sac of a Dark Lurker.'
'Supplementary ingredients: 100ml of pure water, the syrinx of a Demon Throat Honey, 5 drops of blue datura juice, 10g of water fern powder, one walnut without the peel.'
Hobert was first stunned, then smiled: It really works!
Theoretically speaking, within the Beyonder characteristics that haven't been crushed, there are traces of the previous owner's spirit.
Klein, in the 'Sefirah Castle', could use these spiritual remnants to divine the corresponding potion formula.
Although Hobert couldn't divine, he could create a 'Connection'!
After all, the connection between Beyonder characteristics and potion formulas was very high!
So, he quickly started from Sequence 9 'Assassin', 'Connecting' from bottom to top, all the way to 'Demoness of Affliction', and it was all very successful.
But when connecting to the Sequence 4 'Demoness of Despair' potion formula, he only 'Connected' to the advancement ritual and one of the main ingredients.
Hobert realized: In other words, I can only 'Connect' to potion formulas below the demigod level!
But that's enough, because after advancing to Sequence 2, I will definitely be able to 'Connect' to the demigod-level potion formula, and by that time, the extraordinary force I've established probably won't need that level of potion formula.
In a cheerful mood, he categorized the Beyonder characteristics in front of him.
Following the idea of potion formulas, Hobert suddenly thought of Klein's 'Scholar of Yore' potion formula problem.
Hobert smiled and said to himself: I wonder if Klein will feel very regretful next time at the Tarot Gathering, when I tell him that he can obtain the potion formula from the Evernight Goddess, and wonder why he didn't think of this before?
Hobert also thought that he remembered the main ingredients of the 'Scholar of Yore', which were the eyes of a Hound of Fulgrim and the heart of a Demonic Wolf of Fog.
He also thought: I might as well tell Klein the two main ingredients, after all, even just a portion of a potion formula at this level is very valuable!
Thinking of this, Hobert suddenly had an inspiration: I wonder if 'Connecting' these two main ingredients in my mind can 'Connect' to some other information?
On the principle of trying it out without losing anything, he 'Connected' the two main ingredients of 'Scholar of Yore'.
What he didn't expect was that he immediately received a lot of information: 'Sequence 3: Scholar of Yore'
'Main ingredients: a pair of eyes of a Hound of Fulgrim (also known as the Guardian of the Sefirah Castle) + one transformed heart of a Demonic Wolf of Fog.'
'Supplementary ingredients: 100ml of Hound of Fulgrim blood + 30g of Demonic Wolf of Fog frost crystals + a large number of authentic ancient historical records.'
'Ritual: Completely detach from reality for at least three hundred years, and take the potion after you have become history and no longer belong to the current era.
The essence of the ritual is to eliminate distractions and provide a clear and accurate positioning mark for oneself to become an "Scholar of Yore", preventing one from getting lost.'
This was actually the complete potion formula for 'Scholar of Yore'!
This result surprised Hobert a bit; just knowing the main ingredients could connect to the complete potion formula?
Immediately Hobert realized: It's not like that, these potion formulas were originally in my mind!
He quickly understood that this was some information he had seen when reading books before.
But even as an avid book fan, it was impossible for him to memorize the complete potion formula, only the two impressive main ingredients were remembered by him!
Now, using Beyonder means, he restored this information that he had once seen but not remembered from his mind!
Hobert smiled unconsciously: This is a huge treasure!
There are quite a few potion formulas that appeared in the original book.
Following this line of thought, Hobert 'recalled' a lot of key information.
For example, Klein's transformed heart of the Demonic Wolf of Fog was also obtained from the Evernight Goddess.
When Hobert first thought of this, he didn't have much of an impression.
Now it seemed that because this matter involved the Evernight Goddess, there was a hidden interference, and Hobert couldn't remember it.
But now, firstly, Hobert's level was higher, and secondly, he had the 'guidance' of the Evernight Goddess, and he could also present a hidden state at certain times, so he 'recalled' this matter.
The train of 'recollection' seemed like a flood that had burst its banks, and Hobert recalled more and more things from before his transmigration.
He was surprised to find that there were obvious gaps in his memory of before his transmigration, even though he had recalled many things now, the gaps in his memory were still very obvious.
For example, Hobert racked his brains, but couldn't remember what he did before he transmigrated?
But another puzzling thing was that when he explored the nameless island with Alger last year and encountered cultural elements of the elves, he could connect them with some knowledge gained from his work.
Also, when preparing for the auction house, he also remembered watching a lot of videos about auctions because of his work.
But he just couldn't remember what his job itself was.
Hobert realized that the problem was not small!
The biggest problem was not that his memory was missing, but that he hadn't realized that his memory was obviously missing before!
Hobert suddenly thought of some of Amon's clone's previous words, as well as the relevant descriptions of Trunsoest.
This should be related to the person who changed his destiny, or rather, that existence!
But he didn't have a clue now.
Hobert sighed: There's no other way, I can only work hard to advance to find new clues.
Moreover, when facing the unknown forces in this world, thinking too much is useless, but it will affect your state because you think too much.
So, Hobert simply stopped thinking about it, and instead picked up the 'Black Emperor' card on the armrest of the 'Iron Throne' and looked at the last few pages.
He mainly looked at the rituals for Sequence 2 and Sequence 1.
The ritual for Sequence 2 was: Trigger a chaos involving all levels of society in a world-renowned large city, and use the unique and unprecedented new order proposed by the advancing person to quell the chaos.
Drink the potion amidst the confusion and helplessness brought to people by this chaos, and the unwillingness of people to accept the new order.
Regarding this ritual, Hobert already had some ideas when he decided to found 'Earl's Light'.
He was going to establish a new company, which would research and produce telephones, motors, radios, phonographs, electric cars, refrigerators, and a series of electrical products, thereby setting off an electrical revolution!
Currently, the mere popularization of electric lights had already caused dissatisfaction in the gas industry.
In the next period of time, Hobert would definitely have a series of struggles with them, and Hobert was confident of winning.
After he won, it would definitely bring huge chaos to the entire gas industry.
And with the application of various electrical appliances and plastic products, it would have a considerable impact on the lives of the residents of Backlund, which in turn would affect the upstream and downstream industries of all walks of life, and corresponding chaos would occur in all levels of society.
But because electrical appliances were more convenient and had more functions, once such a wave formed, no individual could stop it.
At that time, whether everyone was willing or not, they could only be forced to accept the wave of the times.
This was less risky than planning a rebellion in Loen and establishing a new order, and it could use such a wave to plunder most of the wealth created by the Northern Continent over the past hundred years, and then use it in the country established in the Southern Continent.
The role it could play was also greater than launching a coup.
Because even if Hobert used a coup to become the King of Loen, he would be restrained by the Church.
Hobert was very clear that the Evernight Goddess's investment in him now was not to let him have a conflict of interest with the Church of the Evernight Goddess in the future.
In terms of dominance, Hobert would certainly not bow to theocracy, so the moment he became king, he might have to be prepared to break with the Church.
So far, none of those who opposed the Seven Gods, or rather, the gods, had a good ending, and Hobert certainly didn't want to be the next one.
So, establishing a country in the Southern Continent was the best solution.
In addition, tonight, Hobert discovered that his marriage with Audrey could complete the last step of this ritual.
The sense of smell of the nobles was quite keen.
After Hobert made the first wave of money using electrical appliances, the nobles would definitely rush to invest in the electricity industry.
At that time, the nobles and the wealthy may not fall into chaos, but may instead be a huge opportunity.
But in the matter of Hobert marrying Audrey, it was enough to make many nobles in Backlund envious, angry, and hateful, but in the end, they could only accept it helplessly.
Although it was not the same as the electrical revolution, it could allow Backlund's most leisurely noble class to fall into a certain amount of chaos because of Hobert.
Thinking of this, Hobert smiled, withdrew his thoughts, and looked at the relevant description of Sequence 1: "Sequence 1: Prince of Abolition'
'Main ingredients: A Beyonder characteristic of Prince of Abolition.'
'Supplementary ingredients: 30 grams each of five specialties of the advancer that the people can Connection with.'
'Ritual: Overthrow the rule of a country, or establish a country through rebellion.
Create a set of systems in the established country that violates the common sense of this world, and establish a culture and order that is difficult for everyone in the territory to accept.'
This was also why Hobert had to build a country, because when he reached Sequence 1 'Prince of Abolition', he must have his own country.
In addition, this ritual reminded Hobert of the 'United Empire' of the Fourth Epoch.
Trunsoest and Tudor betrayed Solomon and jointly established the 'United Empire'.
Hobert was not very clear about the system practiced by the 'United Empire', but he knew that the architectural style of the Fourth Epoch had always been known for its asymmetry.
Just like the tower that Hobert had seen on another planet, the left side was one style, and the right side was another style.
It looked as if two buildings with completely different styles each took half and stuck them together.
This was a culture that was difficult for people to accept.
Of course, after decades, the people got used to it, but in the beginning, all the people should find it difficult to accept.
This kind of asymmetry seemed to be popular in the Solomon Empire era, but the Solomon Empire did not control the entire Northern Continent.
At that time, the God Kingdoms of the Seven Gods were not like the headquarters of the Church as they are now.
At that time, there were really seven countries!
After the establishment of the 'United Empire', it basically controlled all the territory of the Northern Continent, and at this time, the asymmetrical style spread in the original God Kingdoms of the Seven Gods.
The rituals for Trunsoest and Tudor to advance to Sequence 1 were basically completed.
No wonder the two of them completed their advancement not long after the rebellion.
It turned out that their rebellion was equivalent to completing half of the ritual.
Hobert sighed: This is really a pathway without a sense of security!
It was also quite difficult for Hobert to build a country through rebellion, because it was a rebellion rather than a coup.
First of all, he had to be loyal to the ruler of a country before rebelling.
It was difficult to do just to be accepted by the ruler, and it might take a lot of time and benefits.
Even the Kingdom of Loen and the Kingdom of Feynapotter could not completely accept Hobert, because he still had the label of 'Creator's' favored one.
So, it would be better to overthrow the rule of a country, and Hobert had already found one: the Highland Kingdom in the Southern Continent, ruled by the "Rose School."
Currently, the colonization by the four countries of the Northern Continent has not completely eliminated the Bayonne Empire and the Highland Kingdom; they each still have a lot of territory and population.
It's just that these two countries have been suffering from economic plunder by the Northern Continent.
When the time comes, launch a Beyonder war that can destroy a country, completely defeat the rule of the Highland Kingdom, and the ritual will be half completed.
Taking a deep breath, Hobert re-examined the general plan, plundering the Northern Continent with the electricity revolution, and then using the plundered wealth to quickly establish a country.
After taking another look at the spoils of this battle, Hobert left the "Nation of Disorder."
Returning to the real world, he was still not sleepy, so he began to consider how to digest the potion.
The ritual for "Duke of Entropy" was already considered, but the potion for "Frenzied Mage" had just begun to be digested.
The method of launching a Beyonder war could only make the potion show signs of digestion, but not the kind of obvious digestion.
Hobert estimated that launching an ordinary war, and it must be the kind that enters another country's territory and brings great disaster to the people of that country, might greatly digest the potion, after all, that would be chaotic enough.
Thinking of this, he shook his head, feeling that launching a war was not the right idea, after all, it was "Frenzied Mage," not "War Bishop."
Based on previous experience, Hobert believed that the key to digesting the potion should mainly be on the "frenzy" aspect, and the magician might just be a title.
For example, Klein's "Magician," Hobert remembered that he mainly focused on playing the "deception" part, and did not consider playing the "magician" part.
The magician in Hobert's concept is not the kind who conjures fireballs, but the kind who eats vegetarian food, chants Buddhist scriptures, and knocks on wooden fish.
It seems that playing either of these two roles doesn't quite grasp the key point.
So, how should "frenzy" be acted?
Hobert thought of the previous acting directions of "Earl of the Fallen" and "Mentor of Disorder," and felt that his "frenzy" might be one aspect.
The main thing should be to make the people in the territory become "frenzy," or to make others become "frenzy," which might be the right direction.
Hobert smiled slightly. Next, there was a very good experiment on Longtail Island that could test whether this direction was correct.
Finally, Hobert thought of the problem of Trunsoest. He planned to also consult Klein separately at the Tarot Gathering the day after tomorrow to see if he had any good ideas.
...
On Sunday morning, Hobert originally planned to rest for a day, but Allen, the butler from the Jeffrey City Lord's Mansion, came through the "Traveler's Gate" to report that Special Envoy of King Ferdinand II of Feynapotter had arrived, requesting Hobert to personally receive them.
Hobert was not surprised by this and came to the Lord's Mansion through the "Traveler's Gate."
Entering the main hall of the front yard, Hobert saw that the King's Special Envoy was actually the heroic Princess Ethel, wearing a women's swallowtail coat.
She smiled and said, "Congratulations on your victory. The Kingdom of Feynapotter also deeply hates these secret organizations and has been working hard to combat evil organizations. The victory you have achieved is also what we hope to see.
"For this reason, the King asked me to express my condolences to the warriors of this battle and to reward you personally."
The so-called reward mainly relaxed the policies on South Colson and transported many supplies.
Although the Kingdom of Feynapotter had not explicitly stipulated to isolate South Colson, it had stipulated many high-tech and products that could not be sold to South Colson in commerce, scholars at the level of university professors could not go to South Colson, and restricted the commodities of the South Colson area, etc.
In short, almost only tourists could still enter and exit South Colson normally. Other goods and people had almost some restrictions and regulations.
In addition, there were a large number of troops and Beyonder forces stationed on the two main roads in and out of South Colson.
Basically, it was treated as a country within a country.
Now these regulations have all been lifted, and the garrison has basically withdrawn.
The second reward was a financial appropriation, preparing to build a railway directly from Feynapotter to Jeffrey City, and all the expenses incurred in the construction of the railway on the South Colson side would be borne by the royal family.
Moreover, the royal family also very considerately gave Hobert the power to decide how to construct the South Colson section of the railway and who to entrust with the construction.
Hobert expressed his gratitude and said that he would organize manpower as soon as possible to carry out the railway planning work.
Building a railway is also very good, which can better connect the South Colson area with the outside world, and tourists can also take the train instead of just traveling by boat.
Hobert entertained Princess Ethel well and took her to visit the completed Jeffrey City, and they seemed to enjoy themselves.
When the two were having lunch, Princess Ethel whispered, "About what we talked about before, the members of the Castiya family hope to believe in the 'Creator'. Has the 'Creator' responded?"
Hobert smiled and said, "Not yet. I will help you mention this matter when I pray next time."
Although he could hear that what Ethel said this time was not a test, he currently did not need believers from the Castiya family, so he was not interested in this.
Although Ethel was a little disappointed, she did not mention this matter again.
That afternoon, the princess left by boat. When boarding the ship, she invited Hobert, who had come to the pier to see her off, to hunt at her manor.
Hobert agreed casually and didn't take it too seriously.
After seeing Ethel off, Hobert stayed at the Lord's Mansion for one night.
At noon on Monday, he came to Greenlawn Manor and saw Fors as expected.
Because they had already had lunch together before, Hobert stayed for lunch today and was not driven away by Fors.
After lunch, Hobert continued to chat with Fors, with no intention of leaving.
Fors said a little helplessly, "It's almost time for the Tarot Gathering."
"I would have forgotten if you didn't say so." Hobert said, lying on the bed: "What are you waiting for? Come lie down, do you want to participate in the Tarot Gathering standing up?"
