Chapter 414: This is a different time than in the past

The main body of the pattern designed by Hobart has two structures, the left is a half-moon, symbolizing the half-moon lake in his territory. To the right of the Half Moon is a standing lion, symbolizing Hobert's dominion over the mountains on the east side of Full Moon Lake.

Added up, it's the territorial identification of Jeffrey's Territory.

Hobart intends to use him as the emblem of Jeffrey Collar and Baron Hobert.

While the valet was making the flag, Hobart came to his study and considered how to play the "Mentor of Chaos"?

After a little thought, he felt that "Mentor of Chaos" was similar to "Baron of Corruption", and the focus should be on "Chaos", and "Mentor" might just be a title.

So is it to create chaos? Or do you want to be in the middle of the chaos?

What kind of chaos should be created? Causing chaos in your territory? Causing chaos in the kingdom of Fenerport?

If so, what kind of chaos should you be in?

Hobert pondered for a while, and he thought that "creating chaos" seemed to be more in line with the core of the "chaos mentor".

He also gradually had some ideas about how to create chaos.

The first is the reopening of shipping, which would have caused confusion among the inhabitants of the old and new shipping lanes.

And the "agrarian revolution" that Hobart is going to carry out in the territory next will definitely make the territory chaotic for a while.

You can wait until these two things are over, and then take a look at the potion to see if there are any signs of loosening or digestion, and then make a summary.

And the "mentor" can't do nothing in this regard, and recently Selena may be afraid that her family will be implicated, so she hasn't written to herself.

Hobert plans to take the initiative to write a letter to Selena in the next two days, and tell her how to summon his own messenger.

Let's see if there can be a breakthrough in the aspect of "mentor".

With directions to try, Hobert took out a map and looked at the ports along the Tidige River, and eventually set his sights on the port of Grana, outside South Coulson.

Cargo or passenger ships departing from Seville, the largest coastal port in the Kingdom of Fenerport, would head west from the port of Grana and enter the Yawei River.

It then passes through the central and western parts of Fenerport to finally reach the capital.

After the servant had finished and delivered the flag, Hobart looked at the pattern, which was similar to his own design, and he changed his appearance, rolled up the flag and carried it on his shoulder, and used the ability of "travel" to enter the spirit world.

A few minutes later, Hobart appeared on the outskirts of the port of Grana and arrived at the pier in a horse-drawn carriage.

The marina is very large, and there are boats coming in and out all the time, which makes the whole city full of life.

That's what a busy shipping lane should look like, with people busy, smiling and hopeful.

Before asking Dofis to hire reporters, Hobert had a viable plan to promote the reopening of the channel on the Dij.

Arriving at the port of Grana was the first step in the plan, and he first inquired about the cargo ships in the harbor that were seriously delayed, and with the help of extraordinary ability, he soon found a suitable target: the Nohar.

It was a large river cargo ship, and it was impossible to reach Fenerport City on time due to the delay in the voyage due to previous repairs.

If the delay is too long, the company to which the "Nohar" belongs may have to lose a large amount of money, which meets the "requirements" of taking risks.

Hobert arrives at the dock of the "Nohar", a steamship with a thick, tall chimney in the center of the ship, but still retains the structure of the sails, it is an old-fashioned steamship.

Stevedores and crews are busy trying to save as much time as possible on loading.

Infusing the "Spoon of the Mind" with spirituality, Hobert said to a crew member commanding from the docks, "Take me to your captain!" ”

The crew's originally anxious expression immediately turned into a smile: "Okay, sir!" ”

As a Sequence 5, Hobert certainly doesn't solicit business like an ordinary salesman, and the problems that can be solved with extraordinary abilities must be solved with extraordinary abilities.

After seeing the bewildered captain, Hobert continued to use the ability of the "mental spoon": "Call all the crew!" ”

Captain Dean immediately smiled and said, "Yes, sir! ”

With the captain's shout, the crew came to the deck one after another.

Hobert smiled and said to everyone: "Your voyage has been delayed, but fortunately, you found out at the dock that the channel of the Dedige River has been reopened, so you plan to take the risk and take the Dedige Channel, which can save half the time."

"Not only will you not be overdue, but you will be able to arrive early.

"It was at this time that you met me, messenger of Baron Hobert, and I promise you that if you are in danger at South Coulson, you may immediately call for help by firing flares, as long as you have a flag on the bow of your ship representing Jeffrey's Collar.

"Baron Hobert's guards will arrive at once to help you with any difficulties you may have."

The crew was dazed for a moment, incredulous for a moment, but they were all hypnotized by Hobert one after another, thinking that what the man in front of them said was a very correct decision, and they had never heard such a convincing thing since they were children.

Hobert handed the flag to the captain: "Alright, you can set sail after loading." You will only remember that you asked me to help you solve the problem, and you will forget the specific process of my boarding. ”

After Hobart left, the captain and crew suddenly woke up from their sleep together.

Captain Dean clenched the flag in his hand: "What are you bitch-raised idiots doing on the deck?" Hurry up and load! It is also necessary to store enough vegetables and food, the Tidij River has not been left for so many years, and there must be no port to replenish! ”

……

Hobert returned to his study, and now his priority was to sit back and wait for the arrival of the "Nohar" and make sure that they reached the capital safely.

Then cooperate with the invited reporters to publicize the matter.

In the future, there will be more and more ships taking this channel.

Hobart was about to ask the manservant to call Philip, but Philip came by himself: "Sir, a group of people have come to the port, and they say that they are designers and engineers you have hired. ”

"That's right, that's right!" Hobert smiled: "Arrange them to the newly renovated hotel, eat in the restaurant next door, and all the expenses for food and lodging will be borne by the lord's mansion."

"Let the designers or leaders of the two design teams come and meet me."

"Yes." Philip left for more than an hour and then returned, bringing back a balding middle-aged man and a middle-aged man with glasses.

Hobert received them in the main hall of the Lord's Palace, and Philip introduced the balding middle-aged man as a railroad designer named Skoala, and the glasses middle-aged man named Valker, an architect and planner.

Hobert had the servant hang up a sketch of his own territory: "I believe you ought to know the purpose of your trip. ”

Skoura smiled, "Yes, sir, Steward Dophis made it very clear that I will help you design a small railroad and have the engineer supervise the entire construction process." ”

Philip, who was on the side, was full of surprise, he didn't expect that the lord would prepare to lay a railway in the territory!

He had only heard of trains and railroads, and had seen photographs of them from Viscount Wright, but had never seen them in kind.

"I'm going to help you design a resort, and the engineers I'm bringing in will oversee the whole process." Valker smiled.

Hobert said to Valker, "You have a new assignment to help me plan the town of Jeffrey, and if you have a plan that satisfies me, I'll pay you as well." ”

Valk, who often dealt with nobles, bowed slightly: "Willing to serve." ”

If it were an ordinary, poor and remote nobleman, of course these two people would not have come all the way here, and even if they did, they would not be so complimentary.

But Hobart had the endorsement of Earl Christine, and the rumors that the father and son had brought a lot of wealth from Rune, and the fact that the conditions in Jeffrey were much better than they had imagined, and that they were impressed by the image of the large water beast being dismembered by the lake.

So from the moment they settled down, they knew what attitude to take towards Baron Hobert.

Hobert pointed to the map he had drawn: "I want the railroad to start from the docks, go up this gentle slope, go around the hill and come down, and back to the docks along the lake." ”

Skoura pinched his chin and thought for a while before saying, "Sir, I just observed the mountains in your territory, although they are not very steep, but they definitely can't take a train with too much cargo capacity, and of course you don't need such a large train."

"My advice is that when you buy a locomotive, buy a locomotive with no less than 1,800 horsepower, so that you can carry at least 50 tons of cargo or guests up the mountain at one time."

Hober nodded, that was enough, the train he designed was primarily for pulling people, not goods.

He said to Valk: "I want to build a resort on the south side of the mountain, on the mountainside, which is difficult to cultivate, and I will build a wide road from the pier to the cottage, and I will build a large activity center."

"The road is to go over the mountain, and on the north side of the mountain there is to be a casino, a hospitality center, an auction house, an entertainment center, and when you go down from the north side, there is a wasteland full of rocks, and you can build a golf course there."

Valk took his notebook and quickly jotted down Hobert's request: "I need to go to the field and investigate." ”

"No problem, Philip, you arrange for someone to show them around."

Skoura and Valk bowed slightly after learning of their specific mission.

Hobert waited for more than ten minutes before calling Philip back again: "In the open space next to the big pier, open a small market, where you can sell vegetables and everything."

"Send people to maintain law and order, send people to set up a 'fair scale', but don't collect taxes for the time being."

Philip: "Yes. ”

Hobert stretched, there was nothing important today, he could take a break.

But as soon as he returned to his study, he heard a prayer from the "Land of Disorder."

Sitting on the "Iron Throne", Hobart saw that the stars representing Lawrence were expanding, and he spread his spirituality and heard Lawrence's prayer: "...... Great 'Founder', I would like to report to you on the progress of our preparations, our fighters are almost in place, and we intend to strike at the 'Rose School' in the afternoon in three days' time. ”

"Sunday afternoon." Hobart muttered to himself, but instead of replying to Lawrence immediately, he planned to wait a while.

While he waited, Hobert looked at the other stars.

Elliott was riding in a carriage with the others, as if on his way, and from their conversation, Hobert learned that Elliott had also been transferred to participate in the attack on the "Rose School".

Upton was selling a small steam crane to a client, and he looked much more poised and a bit of a successful businessman.

Raft was looking at maps and geographic magazines, seemingly thinking about where he would go after leaving Beckland?

Alice is "chattering" with a group of noble ladies again, as if there is endless gossip among the nobles, and of course, in between the gossip, they will also appreciate the recent plays, operas and poems.

Finally, there was Ethel, who was sitting at her desk on business, looking unashamed.

After looking around, Hobert fixed his eyes on the stars of Raft, it was time to visit the ruins of the nobles of Trenthorst again.

Since Rex's friend said that Hobert would ransack the secret room, of course he had to help him fulfill his prophecy.

Before, Hobert was afraid that he would not be able to capture the corpse of the "Ancient Reaper" into the "Land of Disorder" and lose face in front of his dependents.

However, after advancing to Sequence 5, Hobert's spirituality told him that with the power he could now mobilize in the "Land of Disorder", he could already do this.

As for Mr. Azik's desire to see the corpse of the "Ancient Reaper" again in the future, but he can't find it, it can only be blamed on Mr. Azik for going too late.

"Hehehe~"

Hobert smiled, as if he saw Mr. Azik searching underground for the corpse of the "Ancient Grim Reaper", so he planned to write a letter to Mr. Azik to explain the situation after the place was emptied.

Before carrying out this operation, it occurred to Hobart to look for the blood of some "Death" or "Gate" pathways of the "middle sequence" of the extraordinary.

He remembered that Mr. Azik had said that the easiest way to find the door that was constantly changing its position was to paint the walls with the blood of the extraordinaries who "sequenced" the two pathways.

Hobert thought for a moment, as if only from Mr. Dopheus could find the blood of the relevant path, and Foirth was still the "master of tricks", and her blood could not attract the door.

However, he planned to talk about it tomorrow, and after responding to Lawrence with a "yes", Hobert returned to the real world for tea, doing nothing, and letting his head empty.

Have dinner with Folth and watch the moon together and enjoy life.

Firth had been in Beckland all day, and she seemed to have been stimulated last night, and had found a circus to trick up and try to digest the potions as soon as possible.

Hobert gave a few words of encouragement to Forth, and then offered to look at the manuscript of her new book.

As a result, Furth was hesitant and went on to talk about other topics.

It immediately dawned on Hobart that she might not have written a beginning yet.

So Hobert began to talk about the importance of the book to Jeffrey's territory, to the whole waterway, to the subjects of the territory.

The more he listened, the more ashamed he became, and that night, the lights in Furth's room remained on until the middle of the night, and at one o'clock in the morning, the lights went out to rest.

As soon as Furth lay down, someone crept into the courtyard.

Hobert, whose spirituality had been greatly enhanced, immediately woke up, and took advantage of the time when the other party sneaked into the courtyard, he quickly wrapped his pajamas tightly.

In order to prevent emergencies, before going to bed, Hobert will hang the magical items on his body on the "cloth buttons" reserved on his pajamas, as long as he wraps the pajamas tightly, his skin can touch those magical items.

If something unexpected happens, it will not affect the use of these magical items in battle.

Hobert grabbed the cane beside the bed, grabbed two "Runaway Stones" from the bedside table, and finally quietly stood under the painting, ready to meet the enemy.

The other party did not seem to be in a hurry to attack, but after getting ready, someone pronounced the spell in Hermes: "Whisper! ”

Worst! It's a charm!

With his other hand, Hobart took off the painting, held it in front of him, and immediately slammed open the door and went out.

At the same time, a black charm smashed through the window pane and was thrown into the room, immediately emitting a shrill murmur.

Hobert who walked to the door felt his head rise, although the time for Hobert to leave the room was earlier than a few people outside expected, but after Hobert went out, he still had a series of abilities to throw at him: "Arrogance", "Captivity", "Whipping", "Fireball", "Wind Blade"!

The "oil painting" helped Hobert block most of the attacks, and at the same time, Hobert injected the spirit into the "Order Crystal" on the hilt, forming a thick black shield to block other attacks.

But no one seems to have seen the contents of the "oil painting", because no one said: "What a wonderful landscape!" Feelings.

I think it was the previous "Cold Night Squad" who informed the other mercenary squads of the ability of this seal, so the mercenary squads of this raid were prepared.

No one sighed, but there was a noticeable momentary pause in their movements.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hobert glanced at the courtyard, there were a total of six figures, which should be another mercenary squad.

After blocking the opponent's first round of attacks, he immediately used "flash" to go outside the courtyard, and then used the "low fly" ability to escape towards the lake.

His operation completely blinded his opponents, and he was really escaped by Hobert.

In order to prevent the newly renovated lord's palace from being destroyed again, he prepared to go to the spacious lake to fight.

But Hobert had not yet flown far when a pale, bone-woven wall suddenly appeared in front of him, and it seemed so tough that it seemed impassable.

Hobert immediately realized that this was a special undead creature.

He glanced behind him, and the six pursuers had already caught up, so Hobart simply pulled out his knife and thrust his cane into the ground: "Order! ”

In an instant, a towering tree rose from the ground, its canopy covering an area of 100 meters, encompassing part of the lord's mansion.

Several pursuers were stunned, they obviously didn't expect that Hobert would have such a visually striking magical item.

Don't talk about them, Hobert didn't even think of them. Before that, he estimated that after he was promoted, the coverage area of the "Wood of Order" could increase to sixty or seventy meters, but it turned out to be directly a hundred meters!

Such a behemoth was so powerful that it obscured the night sky.

"Weakened!"

Hobert was slightly stunned, this skill was not used by him, but from a pursuer.

He didn't have time to inject spirituality into the "Order Crystal" again, and he felt that his strength, spirituality, speed, and other aspects were weakened.

But then under his "distortion", the negative impression of "weakening" was minimized, and his state was restored.

At the end of the second round of fighting, Hobart can use "weakening" and "arrogance" without "bribery" to determine that there must be a "Chaos Mentor" among the enemies!

This "Chaos Mentor" should be the captain.

There is also a special undead creature that appeared in front of him just now, which makes Hobert guess that there should be an extraordinary person in the "Grim Reaper" path among the pursuers, and there is a high probability that it is a "necromancer master", and the "psychic" cannot summon such a powerful undead creature.

In addition, according to the attack he received as soon as he went out just now, there should be a "Wind Favorite" among the enemies.

The other three enemies should have two "arbiter" pathways and one "hunter" path, the specific strength of which is unknown for the time being.

At the same time, Hobert felt that the ability of the "Wood of Order" was greatly enhanced, and as the owner of the "Wood of Order", Hobert could become beneficial to him just by standing under the canopy.

Just like just now, he found that he could even "distort" his negative state under the canopy, and he tried it, and his "weakened" state was immediately improved.

At the beginning of the battle, Hobart was still worried about whether he could drive the members of the mercenary team away, but after the battle, he had an understanding of his own strength and the strength of the other party, and Hobart felt that he could arrogantly think: Don't think about leaving any of these six enemies!

Taking advantage of the visual impact of the "Wood of Order" to make the six enemies hesitate a little, Hobert seized the opportunity of the third round: "Corrosion!" ”

From the moment he went out, he was quietly using "corrosion", and now it has finally exploded.

After the promotion, "Corrosion" also increased significantly, and the movements of those Sequence 6 stalled again, and for the next few seconds, they all had to fight against the darkness and greed inside.

One of them, Sequence 7, was completely hit, and he felt that the "Wood of Order" was a rare magical item, so he left Hobert as an enemy and went to hold the "Wood of Order" instead, trying to take it for himself.

Only the "Chaos Mentor" was not too affected: "Chaos! ”

Hobert, who is very familiar with this ability, knows that "chaos" is like the "death" of the "Punishment Knight", as long as the target is determined, there is no way to dodge it.

So Hobert simply: "Twisted!" ”

He "distorted" the concept between himself and his enemies, and for the next two seconds, he and the "Mentor of Chaos" fell into a state of "chaos" at the same time.

By the time Hobart regained his senses, two Sequence 6s, who had recovered from "corrosion", were close to rushing in front of him.

The "Undead Master" was armed with a sword of extraordinary power and pierced Hobert's heart.

There is a plus today!
