Fenerport Kingdom, Jeffrey Collar.

It's time for Hobert's footwash again.

Dennis put away the footwash and did not immediately answer Hobert's previous question, but asked, "Sir, you are already a lord, why do you still appoint a mayor?" ”

Hobert smiled and bowed his head slightly: "Yes, there is progress!" ”

He explained: "The system of the chief executive has proven to be a very practical and advanced system.

"It's a town that's under construction on a large scale, and the daily work is very complicated and cumbersome.

"According to the advanced experience of the countries of the Northern Continent, these tedious tasks should be left to the bureaucracy.

"And I should focus all my energy on outlining the blueprint for the future of the territory and guiding the town government."

Dennis opened his mouth wide, this was something he had never been exposed to before, as if a new door had opened for him!

After thinking for a long time, he asked, "Sir, what if after a long time, the town government does not obey the direction you guided?" ”

"Yes, yes, you can sense that the mayor has too much power." Hobert smiled: "So I have to grasp the financial power and the human right to use it in my hands." ”

Dennis's eyes lit up, and an advanced power framework was built in his mind, and whatever the town government wanted to do, it needed money to support it.

And as long as the power to appoint the chief governor of the town government is in the hands of the lord, this bureaucracy cannot be out of the lord's control.

Hobert washed his feet and asked, "What do you think this structure is missing?" ”

Although Dennis is smart, he is not knowledgeable after all, and he didn't think too much about it after thinking about it for a long time.

"Inspectorate!" Hobert said, "Okay, the water is cold, let's go." ”

Suddenly, Hobert felt the potion in his body again, and although it was not as digested as much as when he lectured Freya before, the three digestions before and after combined, it had been digested by one-fifth.

Hobert couldn't help but sigh: sure enough, the higher the sequence, the slower the digestion.

Then he realized that the system of the supreme administrator of the entire Northern Continent was not perfect enough, otherwise he would not have digested the potion after explaining this to Dennis just now.

In the courtyard, when Dennis was splashing water, he remembered that he had forgotten to answer the knight's previous question.

But he was satisfied with the knowledge he had gained tonight, and that question would be answered tomorrow.

Suddenly, Dennis seemed to understand something!

At this time, a few snowflakes fell on the place where the water was splashed just now, and quickly melted, and Dennis raised his head: "It's snowing!" ”

The snow had been falling all night and had no intention of stopping the next day.

On the construction sites in the territory, they all had to take a day off.

On this snowy morning, Hobert's cousin Angus returned, along with eight extraordinaries of the House of Tudor, and one elder of the family.

Hobert first met with Angus in his study and asked about his homecoming.

"The family is very supportive of your business in South Coulson." Angus was very conservative.

Not only in terms of support, the members who wanted to come to the official Extraordinary filled the living room of Angus's house, and there were even some Sequence 6 who wanted to follow Angus.

In the end, Angus had no choice but to draw lots to decide who would come with him.

Then he brought a Sequence 6 (in fact, there are more Sequence 6s that can be brought, but Angus is afraid of affecting his status, so he only brings one who is willing to follow the arrangement.) ), four sequences 7, two sequences 8, and one sequence 9.

Hobert was very satisfied with this combat power, and asked again: "How did the elders in the family think about the deal I proposed earlier?" ”

"A representative was sent to talk to you, but, it's just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that this elder doesn't have a good temper."

Hobart smiled: "I'll see him again in the afternoon, you can remind him tactfully, it's okay to try to test me, but don't go too far, or I'll turn my face!" ”

This kind of temptation is all left over from Hobert's play, and it can be said that a few meetings in the early stage will lay the foundation for the way of getting along and status in the future, and the Tudor family will of course send a crazy person first.

Angus nodded: "Understood! ”

"As for the treatment of the squad members." Hobert said: "On par with the normal official extraordinary, there are two ways to be rewarded, one is Jin Lisoga meritorious service, and the other is pure meritorious service.

"The so-called Jin Li Soga meritorious service, like ordinary official extraordinary, receives a weekly salary on a regular basis, and only after meritorious service can he accumulate meritorious service.

"And the way of remuneration for pure meritorious service is that not only meritorious service is made after meritorious service, but also salary is paid for meritorious service. Merit can be exchanged for Kinriso, but Kinriso cannot be exchanged for Merit!

"Meritorious deeds can be exchanged for extraordinary potions, charms, potions main materials, extraordinary characteristics and even seals, I have a list of specific exchange standards, you can take a look."

Angus took it and took a look, and 300 merits could be exchanged for an extraordinary characteristic of the "Arbiter"! The extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 6 "Judge" require 3500 merits!

Angus immediately asked: "If the weekly salary is settled by merit, how much merit can be received in a week?" ”

"Sequence 9 can receive 4 merits per week, which can be exchanged for 4.8 gold riso. Sequence 8 is doubled to claim 8 merits, Sequence 7 has 20 merits per week, and Sequence 6 has 45 merits! "Hobert had already thought about the exchange ratio and the number of merits to be issued.

Angus was excited, that is, he could redeem a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of the "arbiter" in seven weeks!

When Hobert saw the other party's excitement, he knew that this plan was very practical.

It's not that it's fraudulent, it's just that it's easy to overlook the fact that a Sequence 6 can only make £300 in seven weeks.

Hobert is unwilling to do such an errand anyway, a sequence 6, even if it is a bodyguard for someone, it will make a lot more money than this.

If any of the team members questioned this, Hobert would settle an account with him: "But you are a respected and honorable official extraordinary!" And you can also redeem the extraordinary perk that is almost the base price!

"It's all your good! How can ordinary extraordinary people have such benefits as yours? They could buy the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 6 at a premium of seven or eight thousand pounds, and it depended on luck, not just if they wanted to! ”

Believing this, even those who doubt it will think that they didn't think of it, and continue to work hard for Hobert.

After negotiating the package, Hobert asked Philip to settle Angus and the rest of the team.

Their offices and quarters had already been prepared, in the town of Jeffrey, the closest area to the Lord's Palace.

As soon as Angus was sent away, Alan came back to report that Wayne had returned, bringing back a whole boatload of decoration materials that would be needed after a while, and this time Wayne could finally rest in the territory for a few days.

Along with Wayne came back two ships of construction materials from Captain Dean, and after inspecting the goods, Philip settled the payment in person.

Dean made a fortune and invited the crews of both ships to a restaurant on shore for a feast and drink.

As long as the two ships returned without Hobart advertising or any more publicity, there would often be people carrying building materials to Jeffrey to collect them.

The second half of the river is completely open.

It's just that Wayne reports to Hobert that there are still some bandits along the way, and it seems that if they have the chance, they will still grab a vote.

This attracted Hobert's attention, and he was going to wait for the soldiers in the territory to train for a while longer, and then take them downstream to "train and train"!

As if it had been discussed, the extraordinary person sent by the "Gnostic Society" also arrived on this snowy day.

According to Jonathan's previous agreement, the "Gnosis Society" sent two Sequence 7s, four Sequence 8s, and three Sequence 9s.

Compared to the strength of the Tudor family, their strength is much weaker, and most of them are extraordinary people in the 'Gate' path, and their frontal combat power is not very strong.

Hobert also gave Helen a copy of the list of merit redemption for extraordinary traits, and after explaining it to her, let her go back and explain it to the team.

From the Wolf of the Mist, Hobert had just received a copy of the extraordinary trait of the "Traveler", which made him dare to make a commitment to the Extraordinary of the "Gate" path.

Although Hobart does not have the extraordinary characteristics of the "witch" path in his hands now, it does not affect him to make a commitment first.

In the afternoon, Hobert was in the main hall to meet with Sequence 5, which had been sent by the Tudot family to discuss the business of extraordinary properties.

The other party not only had a bad temper, but also looked very dragged, and as soon as he entered the main hall, he said: "According to the seniority, you should call me grandpa." ”

Hobert ignored him, but asked Angus, "Who is this?" ”

Angus hurriedly said: "This is ......"

The other party interrupted Angus's words: "According to the seniority! I'm your grandparents! ”

Hobart said to Angus again: "Help me introduce, who is this TMD?" ”

Angus: "This is ......"

The other party planned to Angus again: "I am your grandfather!" ”

Hobert sneered: "Help me introduce TND!" Who is this TMD? ”

Angus waited for a while, and when he saw that the elder was flushed with anger, he hurriedly said, "This is Mr. Bunier." ”

Hobert smiled and got up and said, "Welcome, welcome!" Mr. Bunier, you may be seated! ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the seat below!

Bunier had no intention of sitting down, and after trying to restrain his anger, he said with a look on his face: "I heard that you have a batch of extraordinary characteristics, please let us buy them?" ”

Hobert grinned and sat in his place: "I do have a batch of extraordinary characteristics, for the sake of my kind, I want to sell them to you!" ”

Bunier sneered: "How many copies?" How many sequences are they? ”

Hobert said unhurriedly, "17 'Arbiters', 15 'Sheriffs', 4 'Inquisitors', 3 'Judges', and 1 'Knight of Discipline'. ”

In fact, Hobart had five copies of the extraordinary characteristics of the "Interrogator", but he kept one for Hugh, who was about to be promoted.

When he heard about the 17 "arbiters", Angus opened his mouth wide, at first he thought that Hobart also had a few extraordinary characteristics to sell, but he didn't expect that there were more than a dozen copies at one shot!

Bunier was also obviously stunned for a second or two, he cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment before asking, "How much are you going to sell it for?" ”

"The 'arbitrator' is 400 gold, the 'sheriff' is 1,000 gold, the 'interrogator' is 3,000 gold, the 'judge' is 7,000 gold, and the 'knight of discipline' is 14,000 gold. ”

This was the most ruthless time Hobert asked for the price, and he felt that with the other party's attitude, he would definitely bargain again and again, so he paid a lot of premiums.

However, even if it is a lot of premium, this is a price that can be barely accepted in the outside world.

Especially the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 7 and above, the royal families of Rune and Fenerport control it so much that they often can't buy it even if they have money.

Hobert speculated that this should also be the dilemma faced by the Tudor family, after all, the extraordinary characteristics of the "lawyer" path are not so scarce.

What neither Hobart nor Angus expected was that Bunier sneered: "I will only give you half the price for the extraordinary characteristics of each sequence!"

"On the way here, I guessed that in this impoverished mountainous area, it would be difficult for you to make a move even if you had extraordinary characteristics.

"Now it seems that this is indeed the case, otherwise you would not have accumulated so many extraordinary characteristics in your hands."

Hobert was stunned for a long time before he said, "You, you ......"

You're not sick, are you?

Seeing Hobert's "surprised" expression, Bunier smiled proudly: "Sure enough, I guessed it!" Don't worry, although you father and son are sorry for the family, the family ......"

Hobert simply said, "Alan, send this guest away!" Let him go out and calm down! ”

Bunier was slightly stunned: "You have to think clearly, no one will want your ...... except the family"

"I have a lot of sales!" Hobert also sneered unceremoniously: "Such as the royal family of Fenepot, such as the Solomon family!" ”

He said to Angus on the side: "Tell your elders that if you want to make this deal, send someone with a normal brain to talk!" ”

No wonder Christine is leaving the Tudor family, it turns out that there are such sick people in the brain in these extraordinary families!

At this time, Bunier realized that he had guessed completely wrong, but as an elder, he still wanted to save face.

It's just that Hobert didn't give him this opportunity, he pulled out the scepter on his waist and said, "You don't think that the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Knight of Punishment' were given to me by someone else, do you?"

"Get out! If you reappear in my territory, you will appear as the extraordinary trait of the 'Knight of Punishment'!" ”

Bunier immediately realized that Hobart was holding a Level 1 seal!

He was sick in the head, but that didn't mean stupid, and immediately left in disgrace.

Hobert asked Angus, "Are the Tudots all these things now?" No wonder it's nearly forgotten! ”

Of course, he knew that this was the disadvantage given to him by the patriarch of the Tudor family.

Angus smiled bitterly, he couldn't understand that the Hobart father and son obviously didn't eat this set, why did the patriarch still use such an old-fashioned trick?

This time the deterrence obviously did not succeed again, before Hobert said "we are the Tudor family", now simply say "the Tudor family" or "your family"!

It was clear that Hobert's good impression of the family that he had just built up was gone in an instant.

After Hobart left the main hall, the anger on his face quickly disappeared, but he was not as angry as he appeared.

As the saying goes, "life in the world depends on acting", he was just expressing his anger to Angus.

Now that there is no audience, of course there is no need for him to continue acting.

Come to the study and continue to teach Freya words.

Halfway through this time, the messenger suddenly appeared, placed a long package on Hobart's desk, and disappeared into the study.

Hobert continued to teach Freya words as if nothing had happened, and Freya "met" the messenger a few times without taking it too seriously.

Dennis, who is becoming more and more professional as a manservant, was startled, why did he suddenly feel a heart pound just now? Suddenly there's something on the desk?

But seeing that nothing happened to Hobart and Freya, Dennis also resisted his curiosity, and looked at the package on the desk for a while, and looked at Hobart for a while.

It wasn't until he had finished teaching Freya the words that Hobart returned to his room with the package.

Although Dennis scratched his ears and cheeks with curiosity, this time he couldn't help but ask, and after taking a few deep breaths, he found that patience is a kind of tempering of his inner world.

Hobert, who returned to his room, did not know Dennis's mental activity, but he did deliberately not give Dennis a chance to ask, and "shut up" is an inner practice in many cases.

He opened the package and looked at it, it was Jessica, and in the long box in the package lay an extraordinary weapon that Kelly had just completed.

It was a black sword, and it looked cold and sharp.

Jessica first apologized in the letter, and they went to Makai to play together for a few days on New Year's Day, so the production cycle of this weapon was a little longer.

The following is a delicate introduction to the weapon: "The first ability is sharper when slicing through the flesh of enemies, and has a 3% chance in battle, even if it does not directly touch the enemy, it can cut the enemy."

"The second ability is that when facing non-human opponents such as beasts and monsters, the holder can show a certain aura that makes the beast or monster fearful, and there is a 5% probability that the beast or monster will give up resistance."

In the last part of the letter, Jessica relays Kelly's recent research: "Extraordinary materials make it easier for extraordinary weapons to gain extraordinary abilities than spiritual materials, and generally gain two abilities, which are more powerful than extraordinary weapons made of spiritual materials." ”

Kelly suggested that Hobert's weapon could be sold for £1,300 to £1,500, and she had been worried about Hobert's cost.

In her opinion, if it can be sold for 1,500 pounds, Hobert will not only be able to recoup his capital in this deal, but also make a small profit.

Although extraordinary weapons have no negative effects, their abilities are only probabilities and are full of uncertainty, so even if they have two abilities and are relatively scarce, they can only be sold for this price.

Actually, this new weapon is quite good, even if it doesn't have only 3% and 5% probability abilities, it can become sharper when attacking enemies, and it also has the ability to increase the wielder's breath.

The second ability seems to be tailor-made for the "Godforsaken Land".

However, Hobert plans to sell it to Little Sun after a while, and now he has a lot of extraordinary materials in his hands, and now he does not have a stable sales channel.

In the package Jessica sent, there were two failed weapons.

Hobert smiled, if Kelly's extraordinary weapon could be mass-produced, he would definitely make a lot of money!

Hobert first asked the kitchen to make the doughnuts, then wrote back to Jessica, saying that he was happy with the weapon, and stuffed the envelope with 200 pounds for materials.

Hobart then said that he had found a way to extract extraordinary materials from failed weapons, and put two extraordinary properties of the "Hunter" path sequence 8th level main material in the reply package for Kelly to see if it could be used.

If you can have it, you won't have to worry about the cost in the future.

For this matter, Hobert only partially concealed it, after all, even if he didn't explain it to Jessica, it is estimated that Kelly would be able to find out or think of this, and it would be better to tell the other party his "trade secrets" generously.

At the same time, Hobert provided three more "Assassin" paths, that is, the main materials of the "Witch" path sequence level 8, hoping that Kelly could try to make an extraordinary weapon.

These three main materials are from the "arrears" that "Little Sun" has just paid, and the reason why he knows so well what the materials are is is because he has just consulted the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg".

After writing a reply, Hobert named the new weapon "Black Jade Sword" because the sword looked as beautiful as black jade.

He then simply sacrificed the two failed weapons to the "State of Discord", and took from the "State of Discord" the extraordinary materials and properties to be sent to Jessica.

Hobert then took some of the extraordinary properties and a few seals from the stone platform where he stored the loot and brought them to the real world.

After sending the letter, Hobert took the "Black Jade Sword" and a dozen wooden boxes to the courtyard of the Tudor family and the "Gnostic" extraordinary.

The door of the courtyard has been hung with a sign of "Special Operations Department", and from tomorrow, it will be officially open, but no one knows what they are doing yet.

The courtyard had just been renovated and looked new, and each of the Extraordinary was assigned a separate room, and each squad was assigned to three offices, as well as a shared lounge and large conference room.

Except for the captains of both sides, everyone came here on the first day, and after settling in, they gathered in the conference room to chat.

The mood of the players on both sides was still quite excited, they were an ancient family that had been hiding for more than a thousand years, and an evil secret organization for about a thousand years, and suddenly, they had become official extraordinary, and they were official extraordinaries recognized by the Orthodox God Church.

It makes them both new and excited, like college students who have just settled in their dorms.

While everyone was chatting happily, Helen suddenly got up and said, "Our lord is here!" ”

Everyone looked at the gate of the courtyard together, and sure enough, they saw a young man wearing a noble cloak entering the courtyard.

The two captains got up to greet them, and the others, although some of them didn't pay much attention to the so-called lords, also followed suit.

After a few polite words, Hobart entered the room and sat down at the top of the conference table: "I have come to tell you about the purpose of the 'Special Operations Department' and the authority of everyone.

"Of course, the most important thing is that I will show you my ability to deliver on your promises."

He lined up ten small wooden boxes on the conference table and opened them one by one.

Everyone's breath immediately became heavy, and each wooden box contained an extraordinary characteristic, from "arbiter" to "knight of punishment", from "apprentice" to "traveler".

Just now, because they didn't know Hobert's strength, and they thought that Hobart was a baron in the middle of nowhere, some extraordinary people who were not very convinced immediately became submissive.
