Chapter 452: A reminder from the poet's classmates

Hobert looked at the 17 extraordinary materials on the altar: harvest season has arrived!

He put the materials away, sacrificed the "Provocative Warhammer" to the "Fool", and waited for another 15 extraordinary materials.

At this moment, Hobert thought of a very serious problem, these 17 pieces of five different materials, he could not distinguish their names, and the way to which they belonged!

His first thought was, who to ask for advice?

At this moment, the messenger suddenly appeared in Hobert's room, and a letter flew precisely into Hobert's raised hand.

Hobert looked at the fire paint stamp on the envelope, an abstract book and eye pattern, relatively unfamiliar.

When I opened it, it turned out to be a letter from the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" Edwina.

The letter was short, simply informing Hobart that pirates had discovered the flagship of the "Vice-Admiral Dusk" in the southwest of the Furious Sea. Adevina promised that she would continue to send people to investigate the exact location of Lieutenant General Twilight.

There was also a page of drawings in the letter, which was a very neat hand-drawn chart that was not inferior to the printed version.

The font with Juanxiu on it simply marked the location of several islands, and marked the location where the "Lieutenant General Dusk" was found.

Hobert checked the charts he had bought from Fenerport City and easily got the approximate location of the "Lieutenant General of Dusk".

Putting down the chart, it suddenly occurred to Hobert that there was a ready-made teacher here!

So he began to write a reply, first thanking Adevina for the information, and then asking what the five extraordinary materials were that he had obtained this time.

……

"Godforsaken Land", Silver City!

Chad, the old man in charge of logistics, took Derick to the top of the round tower, the chief's room: "Your Excellency, look, Derik was lucky to get an extraordinary weapon during a trip to collect materials!" ”

Chad handed over an extraordinary weapon that was stained with some blood and stains, and looked very old.

Chief Colin took the "provocative warhammer" and looked at it, as a former "weapon master", he roughly knew the capabilities of this weapon as soon as he touched it with his hand.

In the end, I came to the conclusion that it is very suitable for use when facing monsters!

Colin, who has always been strict, had a slight smile on his face, and he casually asked Derik, "How did you get it?" ”

After growing up during this time, Derick has already made up a statement to deal with it: "Your Excellency, because I owe him a pair of 'mirror dragon eyes' in a transaction with a companion, so I went to try to hunt a mirror dragon today, and I ...... on the way there."

Darek told him how he encountered a powerful monster and how his ability to restrain it, and after a fierce fight, he accidentally got this war hammer.

"Good." Colin said to Chad: "Exchange it for some more merits for him!" ”

As he spoke, he gave Chad a look.

Chad understood, and caught the "provocative war hammer" returned by the chief with both hands: "Yes! ”

Derrick secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the reason he had just now was going to be told to Chad, but he didn't expect to report to the chief.

After the two of them left the Round Tower together, Chad did exchange some more merit for Derik.

Darik received the merits, exchanged the materials, and went back happily.

Because he had met the chief, this time Daerik was more cautious, and did not immediately exchange the extraordinary materials that needed to be paid to the "emperor" as planned, but only exchanged for a main material of the "Sun Divine Officer".

After Derick leaves, Chad takes the "Provocative Warhammer" and returns to the Chief's room.

Colin picked up the "provocative warhammer" from the wooden box: "What did Dyric exchange for merit?" ”

"A 'Sun Priest' main material." Chad reported: "After returning from this expedition, he has already exchanged a master material for the 'Sun Priest', and I heard that he also exchanged some unused master materials on the black market. ”

Colin was stunned: "The main material that you can't use?" ”

"Yes, it's all the potions we have mastered that don't use the main material, and we can exchange a lot for a few merits."

Colin pondered for a moment and then asked, "Aren't the eyes of the 'Mirror Dragon' among his redemptions?" ”

"I don't know about that." Chad said: "But I heard that he exchanged all the main materials of the Sequence 8 level. ”

He recalled for a moment and said, "About twenty days ago, he did come to exchange the 'Mirror Dragon's Eyes', but it just happened to be out of stock. ”

Colin nodded, so there was nothing too suspicious about Derrick except for the fact that the main materials that could not be exchanged were a little abnormal.

He stared at the "provocative warhammer" for more than ten seconds, and suddenly his mind moved, found a moist rag, wiped the place where the weapon looked old, and wiped it a few times, but it was wiped clean.

The same was true when he wiped elsewhere, and soon the weapon in Colin's hand was as good as ever.

Chad also saw that something was wrong, because the weapon seized from the monster had never been so clean, and the stains on it could not be wiped off with a wipe: "Chief, do you want someone to keep an eye on ......"

Colin raised his hand: "No, give Derrick some freedom, maybe he can bring us some surprises." ”

……

Fenerport Kingdom, Jeffrey Collar.

Hobart learns that "Little Sun" will not pay for the weapon until a few days later in order to avoid suspicion by the Chief.

Hobert sacrificed the 17 extraordinary materials he had obtained to the "Land of Disorder", and waited until the evening, finally waiting for Edwina's reply.

As Hobart expected, Edwina really knew the five main materials, and gave a relatively detailed explanation of the monsters that obtained the five materials.

In this way, Hobert has a number, and it is easy to price it when it is sold out in the future.

Then Hobert pondered what to give Edwina in return, thanking her for her answer.

Although Hobart knew that the other party was a good teacher, he also had to express his gratitude so that he could not speak up next time he asked her a question.

After thinking about it for a while, Hobert remembered that he had a notebook of the Duke of Seville during the Quaternary period, which recorded many interesting human stories from the middle and late Quaternary periods.

For Hobert, there are only a few paragraphs of this notebook that are important, and Kress has already copied them.

In fact, for those who don't know "0-05" and "God of Lights", those dialogues that are more important to Hobert are just some anecdotes about the Night Emperor.

Hobert came to the "Land of Disorder" and searched for a long time, finally found the notebook, looked through it again, and simply tore up some places that might have important information, preparing to lie that the notebook was only partially owned by himself.

This kind of ancient book is also dusty here in Hobert, and it is better to give it to Edwina who has this kind of hobby.

When the second doughnut in the kitchen was ready, Hobert wrapped the reply letter and the notes full of Quaternary human anecdotes in a package and gave it to the messenger.

In the evening, it was time to wash the feet.

After Dennis put down the footwashing water, he replied: "Sir, you asked me to wash your feet because you want me to exercise my arm strength and waist when I am fetching water, right?" ”

Hobert looked at Dennis, whose eyes lit up: "If you think I'm so superficial, I think you'll have to wash your feet for another 50 years." ”

Dennis was slightly stunned and resumed his thoughts.

Before falling asleep, Hobart received another reply from Edwina, who said that she liked the notebook and read it in one sitting.

Hobert smiled, "If you like it, it's fine." ”

While contemplating how to hunt "Lieutenant Admiral Twilight", Hobert falls asleep.

The next morning, Hobart was sleeping soundly when a letter floated in his face.

He took the letter, and the messenger was already entering the spirit realm, as if to express his displeasure at starting his work so early.

Hobert yawned, "Who wrote to me so early?" ”

To his surprise, it turned out to be Leonard's letter.

In the letter, Leonard recounted how they had left the resort with the tourists, and that they had found two or three cheating couples on the mountain.

However, the pollution on those secret puppets doesn't seem to be serious, and they solve the problem relatively soberly.

Then Leonard reminded Hobert that the hidden existence that solved those secret couples should be some dead and unstiff big man in the Quaternary Age, and told Hobart to be careful not to fully trust this kind of god who is not in a good state.

Hobert smiled helplessly: Shall I remind him and let him pay attention to the old man in his body?

But thinking that Leonard was also kind, he wrote back to express his gratitude.

The kitchen of the Lord's Mansion had to start making doughnuts at dawn.

The messenger was summoned again, and the messenger said as he answered the letter: "You have been very busy lately, and I have not had much time to rest when sending letters so frequently. ”

Hobart immediately said, "Add three donuts to you this time!" ”

"It's better to be busy!" The Courier quickly vanished into the spirit realm after receiving six donuts.

Hobert smiled and took the rest of the doughnuts to the dining room to share with Donna and Forth.

After breakfast, Hobart began the day's work, starting with the fact that the week-long division of land was almost completed, and Conrad came to report to Hobart on the progress of the work.

At the same time, in the past two days, Hobert's potion has indeed been digested again, but the degree of digestion is not as obvious as last time.

Such formal official business, of course, had to be discussed in the main hall, and Hobart had a clear understanding of the work reported by Conrad as to how much arable land there was, how much orchard land there was, and so on.

The arable land in the territory is very abundant, and after all the land is divided, there is still a large part of the arable land belonging to the lord.

After reporting on the matter of land division, Conrad said: "Sir, I discovered a phenomenon when I divided the land, and there are many more people in each village!" ”

Hobert was stunned: "When we were doing household registration before, did we lie about the population? ”

"Not really," Conrad smiled, "I've done some knowing, and the extra people are residents of the surrounding territories, and after hearing that we don't collect taxes here, they came to join relatives and friends." ”

Hobert nodded and asked, "How many more people have come out?" ”

"According to my preliminary understanding, there are more than 300 relatives and friends who can take refuge." Conrad said: "There are no relatives and friends to take refuge, but they just want to rent land here and plant, there are about 800 people. ”

Hobert pondered for a moment: "Didn't you just say that there is still a lot of land belonging to the Lord's Mansion?" If you divide those lands, how many people will they be able to give them to? ”

"About 400 people."

"Then divide it!" Hobert smiled: "But be careful, these people should be given a little less land than the original residents, and priority should be given to the relatives and friends of the original residents, so as to reflect the preferential treatment of the original residents and create a little sense of superiority for them!"

"I suggest that the excess land can be divided among about five hundred people, and you can take care of the specific situation yourself!"

Conrad immediately opened his notebook and said as he jotted it down, "Yes." ”

"Since these people want to live in this territory, they must do three things, the first is household registration! The second is to divide households as a unit! The third is to obey the dispatch of the lord's mansion. ”

Conrad immediately said: "I will do a good job of publicity." ”

"As for the housing of this group," said Hobert, "the lord's house rents them tents free of charge, and gives them building materials on credit at a reasonable price.

"They can pay back the building materials in the form of kinriso, and they can also pay back the building materials in the form of crops.

"The tents rented to them are only free for one year, and the building materials given to them on credit can be repaid at a flat price within a year, and a part of the interest will be paid after a year!"

The tents were captured by the "Jeffrey Army" from Dockyard Island, and they were also piled up with mold in the warehouse of the Lord's House.

As for building materials, in the future, the last thing Jeffrey will lack is building materials.

Conrad, who wrote shorthand, lamented that the lord was an expert in government affairs that he had never seen before, and there was always a way to "turn waste into treasure", no matter what the problem was in his hands, it was not a problem!

"As for the remaining more than 600 people, we can't give up!" "Their housing problems can also be solved by renting tents and giving them building materials on credit," Hobart said.

"The problem of food can be solved at the construction site, which is currently in dire need of manpower, and if one member of the family works on the construction site, they can provide food for the rest of the family.

"But food has to be deducted from the salary of the person who works, and if the salary is not enough to pay for the food of the family members, there must be one more person in the family working on the construction site!"

Hobart paused and said, "This will bring a lot of burden to the accounting work in the territory, go and call Philip and Roy, and we will discuss a standard." ”

This discussion lasted for more than two hours, and now there is more and more writing work in the territory, as long as the residents in the territory have a little grammar skills, they are all arranged to the corresponding copywriting work.

Hobert asked the teachers at the school in his territory to open a night school to make up for the copywriters.

It also stipulates that only those who have passed the corresponding examination and graduated from the night school can get the full salary.

At the end of this meeting, Hobart made another major personnel appointment: "I'm going to make Conrad the mayor of Jeffrey Town!" ”

In the main hall, these three people who have been trained to a certain level of governance and politics are all slightly stunned, with the lord here, does Jeffrey Town still need the mayor?

"When the town hall is built, Conrad will take your team to work there." Hobert is both explaining and arranging:

"You recommend a few candidates from your subordinates to me, and I will reappoint a 'Registered Knight', who will be under the control of the mayor in the future.

"Roy will be the 'Knight of Construction' from now on, under the control of the mayor.

"When Albert returns, he will be under the control of the mayor as a 'Knight of Justice'.

"And Wayne, the 'shipping knight' who has just been canonized, and Donna, the 'tax knight' who is about to be canonized, are all under your control.

"In the future, after the hospital and school are built, there will be 'medical education knights'.

"After the development of tourism in the territory, there will be 'tourism and cultural knights', 'agricultural and animal husbandry knights', etc., which are all under the control of the town mayor."

Conrad felt a burst of joy in his heart, this is equivalent to the number two person in Jeffrey's collar!

At this time, he also understood the meaning of the lord setting up the mayor, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Fortunately! I seized this opportunity, otherwise my life would have been wasted in mediocrity.

Hobert glanced at Philip: "In the future, you will be a 'financial knight', and you will be in my charge."

"When Corwin returns from the field, he will be the 'Human Resources Knight', in charge of talent introduction, as well as the promotion of staff, and the promotion of the knight level will be directly inspected and responsible by me. In the future, Colwin will be in my hands! ”

Philip smiled and bowed slightly: "Yes!" Am I doing the housekeeping part-time, or am I ......?"

Of course he was happy, although their father and son were not as high as Conrad's rank, but both father and son were in charge of key departments, especially the "Financial Knight" was obviously a close confidant of the lord.

This arrangement is obviously more important to the lord than Albert and Colwin, the original knight father and son.

"Alan is very careful, the housekeeper's work can be handed over to him!" Hobert had already thought about the arrangements for the future.

Allen, who was at the door, suddenly showed a smile, although he did not become a "knight", but as a housekeeper, he must be trusted by the lord.

In the end, Hobert said: "These personnel arrangements will be kept secret for the time being, and after the town government is built, such arrangements will be reached step by step." ”

Hobert spent a lot of energy on this meeting at noon, which allowed him to catch up on sleep at noon, and only teach Freya words in the afternoon.

……

Rorsted, Baiam.

Raft Pound passed the final round of exams and finally became the tutor at Tony's Manor.

It is said that Tony Manor is one of the largest estates in the entire colony, and some say that it is the size of a third of the Marcy Kingdom, and after a few days of observation, Raft feels that this statement is a bit exaggerated.

However, in the mountainous area in the middle of the Blue Mountain Island, one-fifth belongs to Tony Manor; Nearly a quarter of the most fertile land on the Blue Mountains Island belongs to Tony Manor.

In addition, there are a lot of rainforests, beaches, lakes, etc., and even Tony Manor built a railroad to transport the products of the estate.

As for the background of Tony's estate, there is a lot of speculation, and some people believe that this is the king's estate, because the largest estate in the Rorsted Islands is actually the "king's estate".

It was not easy for the royal family to buy another manor of about the same size, so it was simply called Tony Manor.

It is also believed that the force behind Tony's estate was the family of Van Lentin Tony, the first governor of the Rorsted Islands.

Although Governor Van Lunding has made great achievements, the Tonny family has little influence in Beckland, and some people say that Governor Van Lunding has exchanged all his military exploits for land in the colonies.

No matter what forces are behind it, in short, ordinary people can't afford to provoke it.

Now Tony's Manor is looking for a tutor, and Raft plans to use his identity as a tutor to cover up some of his illegal activities in Byam.

Yes, he intends to build his own gangster power in Byam, and then get a certain development by bribing the Doge's Palace, thus digesting the potion of the "bribe-takers".

But doing so is very risky, and it is easy to be targeted by the official Extraordinary, or other extraordinaire organizations that come to pan for gold, so you need an identity that can stay out of the matter at any time.

At the same time, it is also necessary to prepare for the future "corrupt baron", if you can mix well in Tony Manor and become the manager of a certain area in the manor, you can take the opportunity to digest the potions of Sequence 6.

If it doesn't mix well, Raft is ready to take the forces he has built up to the Southern Continent to look for opportunities.

There, the power of the countries of the northern continent is even weaker, and there are warlords everywhere.

Like Hobert's thoughts, he could pull up a team on his own, and with the strength of his Sequence 6, he was enough to occupy a territory and become a small warlord.

It is not surprising that Raft was able to pass the test, because he has a pure Beckland accent, understands aristocratic etiquette and aristocratic dance, and most importantly, he also knows a lot of real-time aristocratic information.

In addition, Raft never forgot to play the role of a "bribe-taker", and also bribed the examiner of this assessment, adding another layer of insurance to this assessment.

In this way, Raft rode in a carriage to Tony's Manor, which looked like a small royal palace.

The estate is actually not far from Byam, an hour's drive from here to the port of Byam.

Under the guidance of the butler, Raft met Master Tony with blood-colored hair, a beard, and black eyes.

I don't know why Raft always felt that this Master Tony was very familiar, and Master Tony also smiled and said, "You look a lot like one of my nephews." ”

Raft immediately climbed up the "pole" and directly called Tony, who was seven or eight years older than him, his uncle.

After leaving Beckland, Raft completely let go, the original aristocratic etiquette and dignity have long been left behind, and he now wants to be promoted quickly and become a "chaotic mentor"!

This is the first step in restoring the glory of the family.

With the approval of Master Tony, Raft finally settled in this huge manor, where he was well treated, and he had his own room with a study and a living room, which gave him plenty of freedom.

However, the butler specifically advised that after 8 p.m., Raft's range of activities was limited to the courtyard of his residence.

Raft agreed solemnly on the surface, but in fact he didn't take it too seriously.

In the afternoon, I met five school-age students, all of whom seemed to be very educated.

He is not the only tutor in the entire manor, but the Tony family has five school-age children, so they need to find a new tutor, and the other tutors also have their own students.

At night, Raft secretly got up and prepared to return to Byam to find a suitable gang force that could be secretly recovered.

After carefully observing the situation outside, there was no one patrolling! He flew up and jumped to the wall and was suddenly stunned: "I don't sleep well at night, what are you doing jumping on the wall?" ”

So he went back to his room and changed into his pajamas, and it was then that Raft suddenly realized: Why am I back again?

He changed into neat clothes again, and just jumped against the wall: "The moon is so beautiful today!" ”

After admiring the moon, Raft went back to his room, changed into pajamas and lay down on the bed: Why did I TM come back again?

Really, I have to change my clothes again.

He always felt that something seemed wrong, and he could think about it for a long time, but he couldn't remember what was wrong!

Raft came to the wall again: "What a beautiful Baiam at night! ”

He went back to his room, changed into his pajamas and lay down on the bed, his eyes wide open, not sleepy.

Although he still couldn't remember anything wrong, he was sure that it would be something wrong tonight.
