Chapter 348: Hobert, the Divine Favorite
After unloading some cargo, the Hippo set sail again.
When it was completely dark, Wayne would not let Hill continue to add coal, and by about nine o'clock in the evening, the steamer was basically taxiing.
Uncle and nephew Wayne were visibly more flattering to Hobert, perhaps because they knew that he was a nobleman, perhaps because the bishop had invited Hobart to talk to him, or perhaps both.
Although there is no church of Mother Earth in the mountains, the people here seem to have a more devout belief in Mother Earth Goddess.
The people on the dock who were ready to collect taxes were not actually tax collectors from the county government, but local bandits.
They knew that Hobert was a passenger, but they didn't charge an extra fee, and according to Wayne, if it were a normal day, each passenger would have to charge a "tax" of 5 silver soops.
In Hobert's view, this is actually a money grab.
Now Hobert asks about Jeffrey Town, and Wayne will answer honestly.
First of all, Hobert knew that although it was the middle of winter, the vegetation on both sides of Full Moon Lake was still full of life, where flowers bloomed and bore fruit in all seasons, and crops were growing much faster than in other places, and crops were growing in winter.
In addition, there are really monsters with fish heads and limbs in the Full Moon Lake, and now no one dares to live on the shore of the lake, and people have to guard the shore every day, as long as the monster appears, the alarm bell will be sounded, and the knight will take the villagers to fight with the monsters, and many fertile farmland on both sides of the Full Moon Lake have been wasted.
People are often injured or bitten to death in combat, and Schill's father died after being scratched by monsters.
For six years, the inhabitants of Geoffrey Town have lived like hell, and they have been exploited by the two knights of the territory, and then they have to be exploited by the "lords" of the mountains.
The whole of South Coulson knew that there was a lot of harvest around Full Moon Lake, but not much actually fell into the hands of the people, and many people even lived a life of hunger and cold.
And the so-called "lords" are the bandits who killed Viscount Wright 6 years ago, and they have not been punished, but have become the rulers of this region.
The so-called "upper beam is not right and lower beam is crooked", the rulers of this region have obtained the right to rule through immoral and unreasonable means, and the people under their rule have gradually become immoral.
At the end of the conversation, Schill's eyes flashed: "Honorable lord, are you a descendant of Mother Earth Goddess?" Are you here to end the dark ages here? ”
Hobert was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Although I have not been directly guided by the Mother Goddess, I may have come here because of the arrangement of the Mother Goddess, just like the stories of those saints told in the Life Bible." ”
He tried to make himself "conform to the customs", and even if some decisions had their own initiative, it could be said that God had arranged it.
Hobert smiled in his heart: Hehe, this puts a lot of responsibility on God, and sure enough, shirking responsibility can make people happy.
After the conversation, Hobart returned to the so-called cabin, lying on his bed looking at the dark ceiling and thinking about his conversation with Bishop Simpson in the evening.
He first thought of the "Law Mage" who had been polluted and had caused a certain loss to the royal family.
Hobert remembers that when he was in Beckland, Christine had talked about this information, but Christine had only heard of this level of information, but she didn't know that the royal family had also sent angels to try to solve the problem.
Then the sentence "It's not hard to solve, but it can't be solved." Hobert's mind came back to him.
After thinking about it for a while, I still didn't have a clue.
As Hobart went to the deck to tackle his bloating, he glanced at the crimson moon above his head and suddenly thought of another description of Simpson: "...... According to the locals, the red moon seemed to be particularly red that day. ”
Hobert suddenly felt something, and he understood what the problem was.
Sure enough, when he returned to the cabin, locked the door and entered the "Land of Disorder", the knowledge he "left" here immediately made him understand what was going on:
The meteorite that fell into the Full Moon Lake is very likely to be an outer god, and it is not a small possibility that the "fallen mother goddess" has invaded the earth.
For unknown reasons, there seemed to be a certain hole in the "shield" over South Coulson that day, which is why the Crimson Moon looked particularly red.
The "Fallen Mother Goddess" took advantage of this opportunity to project some power into the ground with a meteorite.
It stands to reason that it shouldn't be difficult to seal these powers, but because this is an outer god or the pollution of the old days, the status is extremely high, so that both angels will return in vain.
Maybe only the True God can seal it, but now that the seven True Gods are all in the Star Boundary, the Earth Mother God has no time to care about it here.
Even if Mother Earth Goddess had time, he might hide far away, after all, Lilith had already suffered a loss from the "Fallen Mother Goddess" once, and she would definitely not give the "Fallen Mother Goddess" another chance to pollute herself.
Hobert was able to think so confidently that it was the contamination of the "fallen mother goddess", not only because of Bishop Simpson's description of the Crimson Moon, but also because the extraordinary people in the "cultivator" path in South Coulson were more susceptible to pollution.
Even ordinary missionaries of the Mother Earth Church have stayed here for a long time, and it is estimated that they will gradually change from "Mother Earth Goddess" to a belief in the "Fallen Mother Goddess".
Thinking about such a problem, Hobert suddenly realized that the problem in the Full Moon Lake might have a way to solve it!
The two angels said that the problem was not difficult to solve, but what they lacked was a person.
And the last thing Hobart lacks is the person!
Even if it is polluted, it is easy to go to the "Land of Disorder" and listen to the bells of the "Bell of Order".
However, before solving this problem, it is still necessary to be cautious, observe for a period of time, and find a safe way before making a move.
Back in the real world, Hobert falls asleep to the sound of water and gently rocking cabins.
The rest of the journey was peaceful, and the "Hippo" docked three more times and paid taxes three times.
The cargo on the deck and on the raft gradually dwindled, and finally began to make its way to the last stop, Jeffrey Town, which Uncle Wayne's uncle and nephew called Wright.
Hobart paid for the ticket, but Wayne was adamant not to.
Hobert took back the 2 silver ropes and pushed the remaining 3 silver ropes to Wayne: "You can introduce me to a housekeeper." ”
Wayne accepted the three silver ropes, and he thought for a while before saying, "York and Philip are more suitable."
"York is notoriously clever in town, and Philip used to work at Viscount Wright's mansion."
Hoberton nodded, "Inform York to come to me in a moment." ”
Wayne nodded repeatedly: "As soon as the ship docks, I'll let Hill inform him." Look, Lord Lord, Full Moon Lake has arrived. ”
The scene in front of him suddenly opened up, and a relatively regular round lake appeared in front of Hobert.
As Wayne said before, even though it's winter, there's still an eye-catching green on both sides of the lake.
