In the Lord's Mansion, probably on the mountainside, Hobert saw the fire on the mountain.

This fire was indeed big enough to make the Full Moon Lake red, and it burned as if it was the sin and unbearable of this fiefdom.

Hobert estimated that not only the Teutonic Viscount across the lake could see it, but half of South Coulson could see it.

The bigger the fire, the better the effect!

Hobert then began to think about his next move, but the Gnosis Society did not respond, which forced Hobart to be on guard.

For this reason, he took out the "cursed jade" from the "country of disorder" with the blessing of the "Mother Tree of Desire", and if the "Gnosis Society" was going to be hard, he didn't mind giving them a "blessing".

At the same time, the power of the lord is in his hands, and the next step is to start his own rule.

However, Hobert never found the household registration and population documents of the lord's mansion, and after asking, he learned that in this mountainous area, there was no habit of household registration at all.

Then the next step must be to do household registration, only to know how many people in the territory, what is the distribution of the population, what is the proportion of age, Hobert can carry out the next governance, in some future projects, but also can always maintain the use of human resources within a controllable range.

"Open" the painting, and Hobert falls asleep in thought.

……

On the other side of the lake, the Teutonic Viscount's mansion, in his thirties, was in the prime of life, and looked at the fire across the lake without saying a word.

Finally, a subordinate who was sweating profusely ran in and reported: "Sir, I have inquired clearly, the new baron on the other side has killed the original two lords, and it is said that he has killed more than 20 bandits with his bare hands, and this fire is burning the bodies of the bandits." ”

Viscount Teutoni asked, "Bare hands?" ”

The spy was stunned for a moment before saying, "I heard from the new baron's manservant, and it may not be true. ”

The manservant's words were more exaggerated than "bare hands", what "god" was blessed by the goddess of the earth, and killed a bandit with a single spit. What "great lord" begged for mercy, but the lord nevertheless read out his crime and put him to death. M.biQuge.biZ

The Viscount of Teutonic did not continue to care about these details, he looked at the other side of the lake and said, "This baron has some means, what kind of fire is this?" It's a complete oath of sovereignty. ”

Then he smiled: "I hope that when the people of the 'Gnostic Society' come to the door, he will still be able to deal with it properly." ”

Viscount Teutonic said in his heart: But there are only two ways before the baron, one is to get out of here or be left here, and the other is to be a "gnosis" dog.

……

On the hill dozens of miles away from Jeffrey's Town, there was a beautiful lady who stood there, looking at the firelight in the distance and smiling, "His name is Hobert, isn't he?" ”

An equally beautiful lady behind her said, "Yes." ”

"His strength should not be weak, you go to talk to him tomorrow and see if you can become his baroness."

"It seems more convenient for us to kill him directly."

The peerless lady smiled: "I only learned some new news from the outside world two days ago, you can't kill him, it's best not to kill him, it's best to cooperate." ”

"Yes."

……

Waking up from his sleep, Hobert looked at the roof for a while, feeling that his life as a baron was really fulfilling, and it was Saturday in a blink of an eye.

"Closing" the oil painting, Hobert suddenly found that the effect of yesterday's fire was beyond Hobert's imagination, and he actually digested nearly a third of the potion in one fell swoop!

Hobert felt that something was wrong, and if he had only been made to recognize his lordship, the potion would not have been digested so quickly.

This is a Sequence 6 potion! It's hard to digest in and of itself.

With doubts in his heart, Hobert still prayed to the "Fool" first, hoping to make an appointment with the "Hanged Man" to explore the ruins of the elves tomorrow.

Soon received a reply from the "upside-down hangman": "No problem. ”

When I came to the front yard, the renovation of the Lord's Mansion had begun, and there were forty or fifty people busy in the Lord's Mansion at this time.

Hobart saw surrender and ...... in their eyes Fear!

Yes, that look is undoubtedly fear! Some even trembled with fear.

This made Hobart reflect on whether he had pushed too hard yesterday.

But soon he felt that this was also a good thing, and that he could establish his rule as quickly as possible.

While eating breakfast, Hobert suddenly figured out why he had digested a third of the potion so quickly!

It is the fear of people who think of it!

He finally understood the inner meaning of "corruption" and "baron".

First of all, the "baron" he had already figured out before, that is, the people in the fiefdom recognized his lordship.

This recognition is not a one-time thing, for example, Hobert's punishment of York can make the people recognize their lordship, and the fire can make the people recognize their lordship again.

Hobert demonstrates the authority of the lord again and again, and the people recognize his lordship again and again, which is the process of playing.

And "corruption" does not simply mean "corroding" the hearts and minds of those around him, Hobart believes that it is the loyalty shown to him by the people of the territory out of fear, which is the essence of "corruption".

"Baron" is just a title, and "corruption" is just a process, and the ultimate goal is to keep the populace acknowledging Hobart's lordship, and continually getting the populace to show loyalty to Hobart, even if it's due to fear.

Whatever the purpose, whether it is to buy people's hearts or to make the people fearful, as long as they can show a certain loyalty, they have completed another aspect of the role of the lord or the "corrupt baron".

And the reason why it is called "corrupt baron" is because after sequence 6 has the ability to "corrupt", so "corrupt" the hearts of those around them, making them greedy and dark, so as to use their desires to control them, so that subordinates show enough loyalty, this way is the easiest process.

Hence the potion name is "Baron of Corruption" instead of "Baron of Loyalty".

Hobert smiled and sighed: this path is really a "shadow of order", and there are so many loopholes in the name of the potion and the way it is digested.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief, he had tried it yesterday and found that he really wasn't the one who "corrupted" others.

Obviously, if Schill is obsessed with women, he can achieve the purpose of corrupting the other party's mind, but Hobert still reminded him, because he thinks that his subordinates cannot be sex embryos, which seems to be the most basic moral requirement for subordinates.

When breakfast was finished, Hobert was about to call Philip with a new order.

Philip came on his own: "Sir, there is a beautiful lady outside the door who has asked to meet you. ”

Since she is a "beautiful lady", she is a person who has achieved "Gnostic"!

Hobart said, "Please let her in." ”

After a while, a tall lady, although not gorgeously dressed, but very beautiful, entered the door.

Schill's eyes immediately straightened.

Hobert cleared his throat.

Hilton felt a chill in his crotch, and quickly turned his face away, not daring to look again.
