Back in the study, Hobart asked Corwin, "Have all your family moved to Jeffrey's Town?" ”

"It's all here, sir."

Hoberton nodded, "Go and call Conrad." ”

After a while, Conrad came to the study.

Hobart instructed: "Take people to the territories of the former knights of Louis and Duke, register their household registrations, fields, and real estate, and assign them a village chief, or let them choose the village chief themselves." ”

He paused and then said, "The first cargo ship to be repaired in Port Jeffrey is about to arrive, and three people are assigned to carry a table and a few chairs, and hang a sign in the room next door to the hotel, 'Port Registration and Excess'.

"This is the registration form I got from another port, and the berthing charges, and the tax standards. The form is used for reference, and the tax is collected according to this standard for the time being.

"The staff of this office is temporarily under your leadership, and the money collected will be billed and handed over to Philip."

Conrad recorded all these requests, said "do it immediately" and hurried away.

Hobert said to Colwin, "Take a few of your servants to the harbor to maintain order, and instruct the 'Nohar' to dock at the harbor, so that the crew knows where to stay and eat, where to pay taxes, and so on." ”

Colwin answered, and trotted all the way to the port.

As soon as he left, Philip took Skoara and Valk to the study.

It turned out that after a few days of investigation, they already had a preliminary plan, and the two of them worked together to complete a "Jeffrey Leads the Future Plan" to present to Hobert.

They were all masters of cartography, much more detailed than the simple map of the territory that Hobart had drawn.

This drawing basically met Hobert's requirements, even if it was not designed according to Hobert's requirements, it was because Hobert did not understand geology before, and the requirements put forward were problematic.

This kind of place was given a solution by both men, and Hobert was chosen.

On the drawings, the land, which is not very fertile, has been well utilized, and in the future tall and spacious resort hotels will be built, and the railway will avoid fertile land as much as possible.

Walker suggested that the town of Jeffrey expand to the north, as well as in the direction of the port, to build plazas, schools, hospitals and other facilities in the north, and to build town halls, post offices, hotels, shopping streets, and so on in the direction of the port.

This plan is very scientific, and Hobert is very satisfied, and directly asks Philip to give Skoura and Valk a total of 300 gold riso.

At the same time, Hobert made a request: "To build a hotel on the mountainside that the common people can afford, and to have a hotel similar to a bachelor's apartment, for young people and travelers who like to travel." ”

He had the name of the hotel in mind, and it was called "Youth Hostel".

Valker added and changed the two buildings on site, and the plans were finalized.

Then Hobart called Roy, who had just finished repairing the docks: "I discussed with Conrad before, and the total number of manpower that can be used in the entire territory is about 1,500.

"Among them, 1,200 are young adults between the ages of 17 and 47, and 300 are women who are responsible for cooking and other logistics.

"In the next week, we will mobilize all this part of the manpower and divide it into three large construction sites, namely town construction and renovation, railway construction, resort and hotel construction.

"These three construction sites should be carried out at the same time, communicate more with the two designers and the engineers they brought, and use manpower more scientifically."

Roy hurriedly said: "I have communicated with several engineers several times in the past few days, and I have gained a lot. ”

Hobert nodded with satisfaction: "I will buy a large number of medicines, hire a few doctors, and must ensure that there is a disease or injury to seek medical attention immediately, if it is too serious, you must come to me immediately, I am also proficient in medical skills." ”

The room was a little strange, and they didn't know what the lord meant.

When Hobert saw everyone's expressions, he was slightly stunned before he realized that there are no immortals in the projects of this era, and in their opinion, since those workers have accepted this job, since they have arrived at the construction site, they must be ready to fight against death at any time.

In particular, in the construction of railways, because there is no large-scale equipment that is flexible, all materials are transported by hand, and the places where the railways pass are generally far away from the cities, and the railway workers do not have time to be sent to medical treatment after being injured, and the mortality rate is particularly high.

Hobert simply said clearly: "The doctor follows the construction site and strives not to kill a single person!"

"In addition, the workers must be paid enough, just like the previous repairs to the lord's palace and the repair of the docks. Although it is semi-mandatory to ask them to come to work on the construction site, don't treat them badly! ”

Philip warns: "In that case, we will spend a lot. ”

After setting aside the money to buy the ship and hire the crew, Jeffrey had less than 3,000 gold in his account.

The lord rewarded 326 gold liso for killing the enemy yesterday, and today he rewarded another 300 gold liso, so that Philip only had about 2,300 gold liso left.

Not to mention the simultaneous construction of three construction sites, the wages of workers alone cannot support it for long.

"I'll figure out the money." Hobart said, "You just have to start work!" ”

He estimated that the money for selling the spiritual materials on the ancient dragon beast was about to arrive, and whether it was in the account or not, he planned to exchange the gold in his hand for gold risuo.

In that case, even if the territory is fully operational, it will be able to cope with it for a while.

No, he was going to go hunting some pirates on the seas again, and those guys were walking gold pounds.

In addition, Hobert still has so many extraordinary characteristics in his hands, and he can also take out a batch of emergencies, and he is far from the point of exhaustion.

Then Roy said: "Sir, with our current freight level, the construction materials on the construction site will definitely not be available. ”

Hobert pondered for a moment: "You go and discuss with the engineers, make a list of the building materials needed and the approximate amount to be used, and I'll figure it out." ”

Roy: "Yes. ”

This simple construction meeting lasted until about ten o'clock in the morning, and Hobert called Conrad and others one after another, expressing his determination to mobilize the entire territory for large-scale construction, and roughly assigned tasks for the next period of time.

At the end of the meeting, everyone heard the commotion coming from the other side of Full Moon Lake.

Several people came out of the study together and went to the yard to take a look, it turned out that the "Nohar" had docked, and almost half of the residents of the town went to the dock to watch the excitement.

Most of them had seen such a large cargo ship for the first time.

Hobert smiled: "See, the new era of the Jeffrey Territory has begun, and you, as the future builders and rulers of this territory, must prepare in advance." ”

Philip and Conrad, two people who were already politically literate, almost immediately understood that this was the political promise of the lord.

Although the others didn't understand it very well, they also became excited when they saw the scene in front of them.

After Philip and the others left, Hobart heard prayers from the "Land of Disorder".

He thought that the battle in the southern continent had begun, and when he entered the "Land of Disorder", it turned out that Lawrence had reported to him that they were ready for battle, and asked the "founder" for further help.

Hobert said in his heart: I don't usually burn incense, I temporarily hold Buddha's feet, and it's you.

But he knew that this was a battle for the survival of the Balk family, so he asked Lawrence to build an altar and rewarded him with two "Trees of Order".

……

Southern Continent, Crowlier City.

Lawrence's voice came to Lawrence's head: "The opening spell is: Order!" ”

Lawrence looked down and saw two logs appear on the altar: "Praise the Maker!" ”

Of course, he could feel the surging "power of order" contained in these two seemingly ordinary pieces of wood.

At the same time, Lawrence has a further understanding of the strength of the "founder", what seems to be such a random thing, but it is a very high-level magical item.

This proves that the power of the "founder" has reached the point of doing whatever he wants, and at least he has the relevant authority to give such a high level of power to an ordinary branch.

Leaving the room of the altar, Lawrence handed one of the "Trees of Order" to Chester, who was waiting outside: "I can feel that this is a magical item that will be of great help to our sequence, and we will use it again when it is critical." ”

Chels nodded, a little worried: "But even so, the enemy's strength is still much stronger than ours......"

Lawrence raised his hand, "We were already preparing for this day when we decided to work with the Fursaks. If the family wants to develop newly, it has to leave the 'non-existent town' and get in touch with new things.

"We have won this battle today, and the family will have a bright future, and if we lose, it is a big deal that we will return to the 'non-existent town' to cultivate for twenty or thirty years."

He smiled, "Besides, we didn't have faith before, but now we do."

"Believe in the Creator, who is the key to our victory."

With that, Lawrence walked away quickly, and the battle was about to begin, and he was going outside the city, preparing to ambush the opposing demigods.

But as soon as he left the city, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a black clergyman's robe, with brown skin and sunken eyes that looked like dried corpses.

Although there were constant carriages and pedestrians on the road, Lawrence still saw the man at a glance!

Lawrence paused: "Zatwin! ”

This is the "Rose School", a Sequence 3 "Silent Disciple".

"Lawrence!" Zatwin's tone was a little awkward, as if he didn't know how to pronounce it in his throat because he hadn't spoken for a long time: "I have brought endless despair and the most vicious curse to the Balk family!" ”

He said coldly: "We have long used the seals to find out that you are constantly gathering people to Crowlier City, and the reason why we did not take the initiative to attack you is that we are waiting for you.

"We're going to wipe you all out this time! From the patriarch to every member of the Balk family! ”

As he spoke, two more people appeared behind and on one side of Lawrence.

They are Mahamos, whose lips are sealed with metal studs with mysterious patterns, and Jakes, who has brown skin, wrinkles on his face, and sparse gray hair.

Both men were also "silent disciples", and one of them was a student of the "god Siea".

Lawrence felt that every pedestrian, every carriage, every leaf, every little grass, even every stone and every grain of sand on the ground, was full of malice towards him.

He smiled slightly, took out a red crown from the cloth bag in his waist, like a blood-stained crown, and put it on his head unhurriedly: "Fortunately, we have also made some preparations!" ”

McHams' sealed lips suddenly opened, and almost at the same time, Jakes opened his mouth, and together they let out a silent curse at Lawrence.

However, Lawrence's figure suddenly disappears, and in his place is a towering tree, and he "distorts" the position and concept between himself and the tree.

So the cursed target of the two "Silent Disciples" was changed from Lawrence to this big tree.

The silent "curse" of the two "silent disciples" caused the big tree to crack in the middle and grow three branches, one of which was flesh-colored, and the branches were covered with eyelidless eyes, each of which was full of malice.

On a green branch, garlic, peppers, half a hen, a human hand, and other messy things grew.

There was also a black branch, covered with long black hair, which fluttered in the wind as if it were alive.

"Ah~"

There were screams on the road, and all creatures, including pedestrians and horses, within twenty meters of the trees, had turned into strangely shaped or sarcoma-covered monsters because of these two powerful curses.

In the distance, most of the ordinary people who saw this cursed tree went crazy, and those who did not go crazy also suffered a more serious impact on their spirits.

Lawrence dodged and immediately said, "Curses are forbidden here!" ”

The crown on his head is a seal from a "balancer", a legacy of the Trenthorst family, which allows Lawrence to have the personality and abilities of a "balancer" for a short time.

But it can only be used for five minutes, and if it is more than five minutes, the wielder will gradually be "ordered", and the extraordinary characteristics in his body are still there, but he can no longer use the extraordinary abilities. Or the bearer is caught in the fantasy that he is a certain king and lives in his own fantasy world, and the spirit body can never return to the real world.

McHames and others were surprised to find that this "forbidden" person was very high, and they could not break this "law".

Zatwin, who didn't issue a "curse" just now, immediately became illusory after discovering that Lawrence and the big tree's concept had changed.

However, when he approached Lawrence, he found that he could not enter Lawrence's body and complete the possession.

This is another Lawrence seal in action, which can effectively prevent being possessed by evil spirits and resentful spirits.

This is the essence of the Trenthorst family, and today, more than a thousand years after the fall of the Night Emperor, Lawrence, as the patriarch, can still arm himself with a level 0 and a level 1 seal.

Moreover, these two seals are equivalent to dismantling the "curse" and "possession" that the "Silent Disciple" is best at as soon as they come up.

The other two demigod elders of the Balk family also each carried a level 1 seal, which was Lawrence's greatest confidence to dare to launch this battle.

McHames opened his mouth again, letting out a scream that seemed to pierce his eardrums, it was not a curse, it was simply an attack on the spirit.

Zatwin, who was closest to Lawrence, stabbed Lawrence with a spear made of ice.

Jakes, on the other hand, rushed to the rear of Lawrence at great speed, preparing to completely surround Lawrence.

Lawrence ignored the attack on his own spirit, and with the cold spear that was close at hand, he issued the law again: "Fight here to be fair and just. ”

At the level of a "balancer" with divine nature, he can not only "forbidden", but also issue some "decrees" that are beneficial to him!

Zatwin's ice spear pierced Lawrence's chest, and a screaming attack followed, causing Lawrence's spirit to take massive damage.

But when the next three men attacked, as long as Zatwyn attacked, McHames and Jakes had no desire to attack. As long as McHames attacked, the other two had no desire to attack.

It's really fair and just!

What? Lawrence still has a Level 0 seal on his head? He's an "enforcer" now! It is whether there is a fair and just "judge" in this battle, and it is not limited by the "law".

At this time, Lawrence dodged Zatwin's attack and said, "Twisted! ”

He distorted the concept of himself and Zatwin, transferring most of the damage he had suffered to Zatwin.

Zatwin felt the severe damage he had suffered, he held his chest with one hand, and took out a small scarecrow that had been tied in advance with the other, transferring most of the damage that Lawrence had transferred to himself just now, and then to the scarecrow.

A few hundred meters away, an escaping pedestrian was suddenly covered in a layer of ice, and the vegetation around him immediately withered, and his spirit body was blown away.

Although these injuries have been transferred nearly twice, and both times they have been transferred to "most", they are still fatal to ordinary people, even the "low-rank" extraordinaries and most of the "medium-sequence" extraordinary.

Seeing that Lawrence could not be solved for a while, McHams glanced at Zatwin and Jakes, and asked them to pester Lawrence.

His expression became solemn, and he took out a jar of scarlet blood, ready to pray to the angels of the "Rose School".

"It's better not to do that." A leisurely voice came from the city wall: "The damage you caused to the city of Crowlier today, the Vorsack Empire will definitely take revenge." ”

It was the demigod sent by the Fersak Empire, the "Predator Knight" Jonas who spoke.

The metal spikes on McHams's lips opened again, and he asked rhetorically in the less fluent Fursack, "Is the Fursack Empire ready to help the Balk family?" ”

Jonas spread his hands, "If you go to fight in the jungle where there are no people, I don't have a problem. ”

Of course, the Emperor of the Vusak Empire would not be involved in this conflict, and even if the Balk family were collaborators, they were reluctant to provide too obvious help.

The battlefield suddenly became solemn, and although they didn't want to have a high-level conflict with the Fusak Empire, Lawrence was willing to leave here?

At this time, there was a riot in the city of Crowlier, and the battle that was prepared for the afternoon began early, and it was the members of the "Rose School" who raided the Balk family everywhere.

Although this is completely reversed from the Balk family's plan, they also have a contingency plan, immediately concentrate their forces, and flee outside the city.

The main force of the Balk family is ambushing there at the moment.

As a dozen members of the Balk family left the city, Lawrence put away the crown on his head and left the place in a "twisted" way to the predetermined battlefield.

McHams resealed his lips and followed with Jakes and Zavent.

Arriving at the predetermined battlefield, Lawrence put his hands under his chin and prayed with the most devout attitude of his life.

Jakes and Zavant stared at Lawrence tightly and did not launch a new attack, while McHams got down on one knee and began the ritual of summoning.

The two sides went their own way, as if they had become harmonious for a while.

Mashamus sprinkled half a jar of scarlet blood on the ground: "I, in the name of my teacher Siea, summon:

"Lord of the Damned;

"The most evil monster ever made;

"Purveyors of resentment and despair;

"The embodiment of endless madness."

The scarlet blood on the ground suddenly projected a clear brilliance, and the angels of the "Rose School" thousands of miles away felt the call of Mehamus in the name of the leader "Divine Sin".

He immediately entered the spirit realm and easily found the location of the Crimson Blood.

The brilliance grew brighter and brighter, outlining a shadow full of evil and madness.

This is the summoning of a "silent disciple", so the ritual is very simple, if it is summoned by a "low-order" extraordinary, in addition to obtaining the consent of the summoned person in advance, it also requires a very complicated ritual.

McHams and the other three all had smiles on their faces and looked at Lawrence together, but to their surprise, a surging force also descended around Lawrence.

At the same time as the angel of the "Rose School" appeared, in front of Lawrence, a huge eyeball appeared, and on the whites of this eyeball, there were small eyes.

This eyeball clearly exudes an aura of mutation, but there is a divine brilliance that intertwines clarity and darkness around him.

Abnormal and normal, evil and sacred!

McHams and the others were a little surprised, the other party actually summoned an angel-level monster? Sage?

In short, as soon as the eyeball appeared, they all felt a surging twisting force that they had never felt before, and the eyeball seemed to have the relevant authority to "twist", and he himself was also in an extremely "twisted" state.

This is the "Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord" that Hobert "created" by injecting the power of the "Disordered Country" into the black eyeballs with the meaning of "Knowledge Wilderness" at the ceremony of Old Neil.

He had the personality of an angel and could last seven minutes, but because He possessed a certain divinity of his own, he was not under Hobert's control.

As soon as the "Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord" appeared, he immediately "reproduced" two extremely distorted and powerful figures in mid-air. The two figures were tearing at each other, fighting each other.

McHams and the other three immediately felt a huge impact, and both the spirit and body had been irreversibly damaged and mutated.

Fortunately, the angel Barranca of the "Rose School" stopped them in time: "Get out of here!" ”

Then Barranca opened his mouth slightly, although he didn't say anything, but as if he had issued the most vicious curse in the world, the "Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord" was hit by the curse and turned into an ordinary glass ball, and the phantom in mid-air gradually disappeared.

In the "Country of Disorder", Hobert, who was sitting on the "Iron Throne", pulled the corners of his mouth, but he didn't expect the "Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord" to "reproduce" the battle between "God" and "Tianzun" as soon as he came up!

It is estimated that the angels of the "Rose School" have also suffered a lot of damage because of this.
