Chapter 409: The nobles'
Furth chose to face Dorian with the most sincere attitude, not only did he not receive the teacher's rebuke, but Dorian was moved by her sincerity and trusted the student even more.
Foirth recounted her extraordinary experience: before she met her fiancΓ©, she was still a little ignorant of the extraordinary world, and in the communication with her fiancΓ©, she knew a lot about the extraordinary world, but it was not comprehensive. It wasn't until she met Mr. Dorian that she had a place to answer the questions in her heart, and gradually gained a comprehensive understanding of the extraordinary world.
Dorian also spoke about the curse of the family, and the now fragmented House of Abraham.
Both teachers and students showed great sincerity, which made the atmosphere of communication very harmonious.
At the end of the conversation, Dorian left the "astrologer" potion recipe behind.
Forth glanced at it: "Sequence 7: The Astrologers."
Main Material: Meteorite Crystal, the blood crystal of the Rava octopus.
Supporting Materials: ......"
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Dorian, this is exactly what I need most." Firth was honest, although he could get a potion recipe from Hobart that was lower than the cost price, but even so, the "astrologer's" recipe would cost at least seven or eight hundred pounds.
Dorian smiled, "Finding the astrologer's potion master material is a test for you, and if you can find one, I'll provide you with another." β
Foirth has a more realistic understanding of the "Angel Family", even after more than a thousand years, they still have a huge heritage!
After thanking Dorian again, Furth said, "Teacher, I saw someone buying the bark of the Dragon's Tree at a gathering of the Extraordinary, I wonder if you have one there?" β
Dorian smiled slightly: "This is a coincidence in fate, in addition to the main material of the 'Master of Tricks', I also brought several extraordinary materials, one of which is the bark of a dragon pattern tree.
"Normally, I wouldn't have brought such an extraordinary material with me, but this time I happened to bring it."
β¦β¦
Fenerport Kingdom, Jeffrey Town.
Hobert was planning to summon Philip and the others to make arrangements for the chaos of the Mentor Ceremony and the next construction work in Jeffrey's Town.
Schill suddenly came and reported, "Sir, Knight Louis and Knight Duke have asked to see you. β
Hobert was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment before saying, "Let them wait for me in the main hall." β
A few minutes later, Hobart came to the main hall of the Lord's Mansion, and Albert Louis and Grove Duke immediately knelt down on one knee: "Lord! β
Hobert was not surprised by the sudden "enthusiasm" of the two men.
These two people are also the two most knowledgeable people in Hobert's territory, and through a series of policies of Hobart, as well as the corpses of giant beasts on the shore of Full Moon Lake, of course, they have understood that this is a lord who wants means and means, and he wants martial virtue.
At this time, of course, they came to show their loyalty.
After Hobert sat down, he looked at the two of them before saying, "Get up." β
The two knights got up and were about to say a few words of compliment, but Hobert spoke first: "In my territory, every inch of territory, every subject, will be subject to my rule.
"You can now move to Jeffrey Town, one as a 'Justice Knight' and the other as a 'Tax Knight', these are two fat differences."
Albert and Grove opened their mouths together, they had no idea that the "cost" of allegiance was so high: to give up the territory passed down from their ancestors.
They quietly looked at the unsmiling Hobert to make sure he wasn't joking, and that he wasn't asking for a price like the other nobles, waiting for them to bargain.
At the same time, they realize that if they don't, they will face more serious consequences.
"Times have changed." Hobert spread his hands: "If the local nobles don't want to be eliminated in this torrent, they can only move closer to the center, and the center of the territory is me!"
"Now I can still give you generous conditions, let's solve this problem peacefully, if I take the initiative to find you after a while, you will not be able to leave anything."
The two knights fell into deep thought together, when the waterway was prosperous, the local nobility of South Coulsen had been suppressed by the king of Fenerport to the point of only the honorary title, and when the waterway was cut off and the place was isolated, the system immediately regressed, returning to the era of the landed aristocracy two or three hundred years ago.
In South Coulson, the official barons and viscounts had to bow to some terrifying forces, and even the lords who were divided by the king could not manage this closed territory.
The nobles with titles had to make huge compromises, even almost puppets.
However, the lowest level of the knight class has been greatly retained, their fiefs are generally based on villages, in order to maintain the stability of the grassroots, the interests of most of the knights have been preserved, and their power has even been strengthened.
At this time, the powerful lord in front of him suddenly wanted to take back the ruling power of the territory, and of course it was difficult for the two knights to choose.
Hobert was also in no hurry and waited for them to "think it through".
In fact, there is nothing to think about, as long as he dares to say a word, Hobert intends to kill one Liwei on the spot, and he estimates that the other will immediately succumb.
However, Hobert underestimated the endurance of the two knights, and after more than twenty minutes of consideration, the two of them expressed their willingness to accept the lord's arrangement almost at the same time.
A smile finally appeared on Hobert's face: "Albert Lewis, right?" β
Albert immediately bowed down and said, "Yes." β
"You have a seal, but you're not extraordinary!"
Albert was slightly stunned: "The lord has a unique vision, in order to show my loyalty to you, I will offer the ancestral ......"
"I'm not interested in your seals." Hobert smiled: "If you do your errand well and are loyal enough, I will give you a chance to choose in three months."
"You can choose to be an 'arbitrator' or you can choose to be a 'lawyer'!"
Carrots and sticks, a set of combination punches that will never go out of style.
Albert immediately fell to his knees and said excitedly: "I choose the 'arbiter'!" β
It has been their long-cherished wish for three generations to become an "arbiter", but the kingdom of Fenerport, similar to the kingdom of Rune, has very strict control over the extraordinary characteristics of the "inquisitor" pathway, and they have never had the opportunity to become an "arbiter".
After Albert had finished expressing his allegiance, Hobert looked at Grove again: "Grove Duke!" Which path are you extraordinary? β
Grove immediately bowed down and said, "Lord, I am a 'lawyer'. β
Hobert smiled, "Again, if you behave well enough in these three months, I'll give you the potion recipe for the 'Barbarian'." β
He again received allegiance from the Grove.
"It's almost the New Year, and the Lord's Mansion is going to hold an event to celebrate the New Year, so you can stay in the Lord's Mansion for the time being, so that you can participate in this event together." Hobert Tract:
"Have your servants move their families to Jeffrey Town, and then go home to appease the family."
Until he completely took over the territory of the two knights, Hobert certainly wouldn't let them go back.
After coming out of the main hall of the lord's mansion, the two knights glanced at each other, and both felt that the current scene was a little unreal.
They were originally forced by the great pressure of the new lord to show their obedience and subordination, but now that the territory is gone, they have become direct subordinates of the lord's mansion.
At the same time, they seem to have a better future, as long as they serve the new lord for three months, they can get the potions and potion recipes they have always dreamed of!
Then the two of them exchanged a few polite words, and under the watchful eye of the lord's guards, they went to order the servants to move.
In the main hall of the Lord's Palace, as soon as the two knights left, a majestic figure sitting on a high-backed chair surrounded by gray mist suddenly appeared in Hobert's mind.
It's the "fool"!
Then the picture turned, and a female prayer voice appeared: "...... Dear Mr. Fool, please tell the Emperor, that I have found the bark of the Dragon's Tree, which costs 500 pounds for 10 grams. β
At the end of the picture, Hobert was a little crying and laughing: if you look at the dress, it should be Forthth.
He returned to his study, locked the door and prayed to the Fool: "Fool who does not belong to this era...... Dear Mr. Fool, I am willing to accept this deal, and the 500 pounds can be deducted from my income at the Tarot meeting. β
At the end of yesterday's meeting, Hobert asked Mr. Fool to keep the rewards of Alger and the others for the time being, and then give him the materials and the rest of the rewards after completing the deal with the "Hanged Man".
Unexpectedly, the deal with the "Hanged Man" had not yet been completed, and Foirth had to find the bark of the Dragon's Tree in advance.
This made Hobert sigh: the resources of the Tarot Society are becoming more and more extensive, Audrey represents the resources of the nobles of Rune and the "Psychological Alchemy Society", Alger represents the resources of the sea, and "Little Sun" represents the Silver City. Today, Foirth represents the resources of the Abrahamic family.
Hobert finished his prayer, thinking that the deal would be completed soon, but after waiting for a while, Forthth came over: "Hobert, I have good news!" β
She had just returned from Dorian, and of course she couldn't go back immediately to get the bark of the Dragonweave Tree, so she was going to trade it in the evening.
Foirth said to Schill, "You go out first." β
Schill glanced at the lord, and after seeing Hobert nodding slightly, he bowed slightly to the two of them, came to the outside of the study, and closed the door.
"Teacher Dorian didn't blame me!" Furth smiled.
"I'll just say it, your sincerity will definitely move him." Hobert knew that Doranli was interested in Furth, and he also knew the effect of Furth on Dorian, and he had already "foreseen" this outcome.
The two of them had just chatted a few words, and Sil outside said, "Sir, Albert would like to talk to you alone." β
Originally, Xiel had great respect for these two "knight lords", but after seeing their humble appearance in front of the lord, he felt that these knights were like this.
So the original "Louis Knight" has now become "Albert".
Hobert was stunned, didn't he say he didn't want his seal?
Several Level 2 seals were still lying in the "State of Disorder", and one Level 3 he really couldn't look at now: "Let him in." β
Albert entered the study: "Sir." β
Then he looked at Furth to the side.
Hobart said: "This is my fiancΓ©e, and there is no need for her to avoid anything. β
He was ready to go back to the absolute side to offer the seal, but Albert said, "Sir, I'm here to tell you a shocking secret?" β
"Your mind...... Well? You said. β
Albert lowered his voice and said, "The Grove has already been loyal to the Teutonic Viscount!" β
Hobert was stunned for a moment, not surprised by Albert's secret, but realized that after the two low-level nobles decided to be loyal to the lord, they immediately showed the true colors of the nobles: treating their colleagues and attacking each other.
And Hobart had to deal with the at this time: "Are you sure. β
"It's true!" Albert said, "My congregation has seen Grove send emissaries to Viscount Teutoni more than once. β
Hobert nodded, and was about to speak, when something else suddenly came to mind.
Silence immediately fell into the study, and the invisible pressure left Albert breathless.
After a full half a minute, Hobert suddenly smiled and said, "Very good, the information you told me is very useful!" You go back first, and I'll settle this matter properly. β
Albert breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes! β
Hobert deliberately confronted Albert and said to Schill, "Call Grove." β
Albert beamed and felt that he had taken advantage of the matter.
After Albert left, Furth whispered, "I think he should have a relationship with the Teutonic Viscount as well." β
"It's the nature of the nobility to be double-faced and three-edged." Hobert smiled: "These two knights are afraid that the other party will turn over their old bottoms first, so of course they have to be the first to tell the truth!"
According to common sense, this matter can only be resolved through a few rounds of arguments, and finally it cannot be resolved due to insufficient evidence and other reasons, but this is a piece of Albert's heart.
"Even if someone mentions this matter again in the future, the lord will not punish them again for this matter."
Furth shook his head: "I'm really not suitable for politics. β
"I'm not going to follow the usual practice among the nobility, though."
Firth was stunned: "Do you want to punish them now?" β
"Punishing them for insufficient evidence will put them on the high ground of public opinion." Hobert smiled, "And Grove is of more use to me now."
"For a while, you watch the play quietly and don't make a sound."
Furth nodded.
Schill soon brought Grove over, and he secretly exhorted himself after learning that Albert had arrived early.
He had to prepare to bite Albert back, and then enter the stage of ripping off as soon as possible.
How do you know that as soon as Grove arrived at the lord's study, he heard the lord ask, "Does the Teutonic Viscount trust you very much?" β
Grove hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Sir, there was no owner in this territory a few years ago, I ......"
"You just have to answer me, how much does the Viscount of Teutonic trust you?" Hobart said, "I have an errand for you to do, and I will give you a great reward when I do it." β
