Hobart had mixed feelings about the extraordinary characteristics of the "Fallen Earl", and he had thought that Rex had left little to his children at all, and that he had not even taken Rex's legacy seriously.

Today, Rex smashed him with a gold pound, and then even inherited a copy of Sequence 4's extraordinary characteristics.

When it comes to the extraordinary characteristics of the demigod level, it is already difficult to measure it in money.

The reason why Hobert has not contacted Sharon for a long time is because he doesn't know what price to set for the extraordinary characteristics of the demigod level?

According to the calculation that some potion recipes are worth 10,000 pounds, the entire potion formula is worth at least 30,000 pounds, and the value of each main material is 30,000 pounds.

After all, the extraordinary creatures that provide the extraordinary main material already have a little bit of divinity, and without the help of other demigods, it is difficult to hunt Sequence 5 alone.

Then if it is just an extraordinary characteristic, there is no problem at all in selling it for 60,000 pounds, even if the premium is 80,000 pounds, it seems acceptable.

But Hobart seems to remember that the financial situation of the temperance faction does not seem to be very good, otherwise he would not have given Mr. Ke to be a bodyguard.

If it really costs 80,000 pounds, it is estimated that this deal will definitely not be completed, and if 30,000 or 40,000 pounds are disposed of, Hobert feels that it is a loss.

Coupled with Hobert's dealings with the Bloodline, his financial situation was quite good, so he didn't rush to contact the temperance faction.

Thinking about this deal is enough for Hobert to understand the preciousness of Sequence 4's extraordinary traits, even in the extraordinary world where money comes quickly, not many people can advance to Sequence 4 by purchasing it.

Even if you save up enough money, you may not be able to meet the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 4 that you need in your lifetime.

The reason is also very simple, in the Orthodox Church, you can directly receive potions by accumulating enough merits, and extraordinary family members like Elliott are basically inherited.

Christine's promotion to Sequence 4 is an isolated case where she has spent more than two decades of hard work, and such cases are rare.

This is also the reason why in the extraordinary world, there are still a lot of wild sequence 5s, but wild sequence 4 is very, very rare.

The "wild" here refers to the extraordinary person who does not even have the background of the extraordinary family.

Originally, Hobert planned to smash the "1-104" promotion, which actually made him feel a little distressed, after all, the level 1 seal was also very valuable, and it felt like the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat.

However, if the promotion opportunity is reached, Hobart will not hesitate to be promoted, but he will feel that it is a pity.

Now he suddenly had a copy of the extraordinary properties of Sequence 4 in front of him, and he was even happier than getting those gold pounds.

Christine on the side explained: "This is a military demigod hunted by your father during his lifetime, and he didn't have time to prepare for you with the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 3, so you need to figure it out yourself."

"But my father left you three clues, one is that he knows that there is a 'mad mage' in the Tamara family, another clue is that he knows the traces of a six-bearded strange beast, and the last one is that 'King of the Five Seas' Nast is a 'mad mage'.

"If needed, I can help you hunt down the 'Berserk Mage' or the Six-Whiskered Strange Beast of the Tamara Family. Nast's option was last, and if he had been so good at killing, Rune or Fenerpot's angels would have killed him long ago. ”

The complete brain of the six-bearded strange beast is one of the main materials of the "mad mage", and speaking of this, Hobert will think that he also has a clue in his hand:

The Solomon family actually has two "mad mages", and the other "mad mage" appeared in the Beckland Great Smog incident, and it is likely that he was imprisoned in the "misty town" with the black dog spirit beast.

"I'll ask you for help if you need it." Hobert thought again, "How did Rex get promoted to Sequence 3?" I mean, how did he complete the ritual? ”

Christine smiled, "Your question has once again exceeded my expectations. ”

Hobart's question suggests that he at least knows the ritual of promotion to "Mad of Madness".

And about this, Hobert did not intend to hide it from Christine.

Christine asked rhetorically, "Have you heard of Arthur?" ”

"Of course I've heard of it, that's a legend in the legal profession, and it's ...... in our college textbooks" Hobert was stunned: "That's, that's another identity of Rex?" ”

"That's right."

Hobart recalls the ritual of promoting to the "Mad of Madness": the more people who can associate the abstract concept of that field with the actual name of the person who is promoted to achieve amazing achievements in a certain field, the more likely they are to succeed in the promotion.

So he asked, "Is it okay to use your own name?" ”

"Yes!" Christine replied in the affirmative, "I remember Rex talking about this ritual, and its main role is to neutralize the damage caused by the potion of one's own abstraction during promotion.

"According to Rex's conjecture, when the 'lawyer' path reaches a high level, the first problem may be to deal with the relationship between the real world and abstract authority."

Hobert nodded slightly, feeling that Rex is indeed a genius, although after Sequence 2, the authority of each path has become abstract, but the abstraction of the "Black Emperor" path seems to be a bit different.

For example, the godhood ceremony of the "Black Emperor" pays great attention to the changes in the rules and culture brought by the "Black Emperor" to the whole world, and also pays attention to people's recognition of the concept of "Black Emperor".

Both of these points are actually emphasizing the issue of "abstraction", and Rex can guess many high-order key questions without knowing the "Black Emperor" path to the god ceremony, isn't this genius?

Christine went on to explain: "Even if a pseudonym is used, as long as the operation of the promotion ceremony is closely linked to the pseudonym, the effect of the ceremony can be achieved. ”

Hobert nodded, "I see." ”

"In addition, I have to tell you a piece of information, Rex has reserved a clue for you to become the 'Duke of Entropy', which is also an important legacy of his." Christine Tract:

"But according to his will, I will not be able to tell you that clue until you become a 'mad mage'."

For the first time, Hobart felt the benefits brought by the Extraordinary Family, before he said that he was a member of the Extraordinary Family, not to mention that others did not believe it, he himself did not believe it.

But at this time, he realized that the benefits brought by the Extraordinary Family were clues to the extraordinary characteristics of demigods and above, or the way and experience of promotion.

This is completely incomparable to the wild extraordinary.

After saying these things, Christine gave Hobert more than ten seconds to digest and walked out in front.

Hobert glanced at the gold and pounds again, and followed.

"That's right." Christine, who was about to leave the cave, seemed to suddenly remember something, so she stopped: "After a while, something big will happen in Fenerport City."

"If you plan to continue to invest in the territory, you must do a good job of protecting your property, and we may have to give up our current title at any time!"

Hobert was slightly surprised: Could it be that the current title and status are not what Christine really wants?

It's just that Christine didn't mean to elaborate, and Hobert didn't ask, because he knew that he wouldn't say it if he asked Christine, and he would listen to the arrangement when the time came, anyway, he had planned to get on Christine's "boat" before, and there was no reason to get off the boat halfway.

The two men left the cave, and the arched stone door closed on its own.

Hobert used "travel" to take Christine back to the Lord's Mansion led by Jeffrey, and Christine took out a leather bag: "The income of the law firm over the years is in it, and I also gave you three magical items as wedding gifts."

"The purse is also a magical object, it connects to a space that needs to be reinforced every two years, and there is still a year and a half before the next reinforcement.

"If you don't have the relevant channels, you can come to me, I have a seal to do that."

Hober nodded, "Okay." ”

It is estimated that at that time, Foirth was about to be promoted to "Mystic Mage", but of course Hobert would not say this.

Returning to his room with his purse, Hobert locks the door and opens it.

Looking inside, the leather bag seems to be leaking, and there is a bottomless feeling.

Immediately afterwards, Hobert found that although the mouth of the leather bag was not large, his upper body could reach into the leather bag.

He reached in and saw that the bag was connected to a basement-sized space, with a pile of gold pounds neatly stacked on one side and three small wooden boxes on the other.

As long as Hobert's hand reaches into his purse, he can appear anywhere in this space.

Closing the purse, Hobart sat down in his chair and calmed down, he thought that he had seen so many gold pounds in the cave, and he should be numb.

But no!

Hobert smiled, sacrificed the leather bag to the "Land of Disorder", and then stacked the gold pounds inside neatly next to the Iron Throne, and lay on it and rolled comfortably.

Cool!

I feel like my life has reached a climax!

After a few rolls back and forth, Hobert went to see the three magical items.

Christine's selection of magical items, of course, the negative effect is not very high.

They were the magical items of the "Reader", "Hunter", and "Warrior" pathways, and Hobart sorted them away, and then couldn't help but look at the gold pounds.

Looking at it, Hobart gradually realized that this money should be used as a backup fund, and the funds for the construction of the territory should be raised according to the original plan.

During this time, the acquisition and storage of the second batch of construction materials has been completed by ships coming and going from the port of Grana to the port of Jeffrey downstream.

And has already begun the acquisition of the third batch of materials, such as the first to start the new construction project in Jeffrey Town, which has already entered the second phase of the project.

The second and third batches of materials used to repair the railways in the list were also purchased and used in advance, and now even the railways have been repaired.

Recently, the Lord's Mansion has spent money like flowing water, and the gold that Hobert earned before has long been spent.

He asked Philip to go to the bank in other ports and exchange 10,000 gold pounds for 12,000 gold lisos, which was enough for the wages of the workers and the daily expenses of the lord's mansion during this time.

This is still the financial situation of the Lord's Mansion when the cost of the wedding is borne by Christine.

Even so, Hobart had to give Philip 10,000 pounds a few days ago to exchange it for Kinriso.

Because now Hobert has gold pounds left in his hand, and the gold pounds he has worked hard for in recent times are only about 32,000 pounds, which may barely be enough for the third batch of materials.

After Hobart is married, he plans to visit Miss Sharon, and by the way, he will "visit" the "Lieutenant General Dusk" and "Blood General".

For Hobert, there are many ways to get money, and there is no need to spend this "deposit".

The point is that in the cave today, Christine's last words made Hobart feel that he should save a sum of money to deal with the changes that might happen later.

As for the protection of the property in the territory, Hobert already had such a plan, and he could bind his interests with the Mother Earth God Church.

But now Hobert feels that he has to change his plan, and he may not have time to slowly bind his interests, but to pay more benefits at one time, and ask the Mother Earth God Church to protect his interests.

Hobart already has some ideas for this, but now is not the time to do something.

With these questions figured out, Hobert returns to the real world, where he still has a lot to do.

One of the most important things is to pick up Selena in Tingen.

Originally, Hobert would have thought that he would see a scene like life and death, but Selena had already packed her luggage alone and waited in her room, she just put a letter on the desk.

Selena didn't cry this time, but said with a smile: "In the letter I told them that I went to pursue my dreams and would come back to see them often." ”

Hobert nodded, the experience in Boklon Villa had made Selena grow a lot.

Back at the Lord's Mansion in Jeffrey's Domain, Hobert asks Selena to share a room with Freya, who is happy that she finally has a companion.

And Selena was also relieved, she didn't expect that she would have classmates, and she also saw the cheerful Donna and the always shy Tyron, two familiar faces.

This made Selena, who was already preparing to face a completely unfamiliar environment, feel a lot more at ease.

……

As the wedding date approached, more and more nobles and wealthy people came to Jeffrey Collar in advance.

Hobert greeted them one by one according to the previous rehearsal, and Christine's family came three days early, that is, on the 25th, some nobles and rich people who had a very good relationship with Christine, or thought that they had a good relationship with Christine, arrived on the 26th.

The 27th reached the climax of the arrival of the guests, in addition to the fact that most of the nobles and wealthy arrived on this day, but also because on this day Princess Ethel's naval fleet arrived at about ten o'clock in the morning.

That's right, the girl drove three warships to Hobert's wedding.

If it is in a certain country in the "Western Continent", it is very rude to do this, it is very like showing off its might.

But in Fenerport, everyone thinks that the royal family has given Christine enough face.

According to common sense, for a baron's wedding, the royal family will also send a court viscount to the wedding site to reward it.

No one thought that there would be a princess from the royal family, or Princess Ethel, who leaned towards the government and the opposition! It's even more shocking than having a prince.

Naturally, Hobert was still greeted with the highest etiquette, in addition to music and gun salutes, there were also ceremonies such as reviewing the guard of honor and laying flowers by the children of the territory.

What honor guard does Jeffrey have? Hobert had no choice but to have Hill and more than fifty other soldiers dressed beautifully.

Instead of wearing a court gown, Ethel wore a military uniform today.

Short hair, neat and neat. Although there is a little smile on the handsome face, it makes people dare not look at it.

Although the military uniform obscured many of the feminine features on her body, the unique beauty of women was enhanced.

Not only the nobles who came to the wedding came to greet them, but also the surrounding Viscounts Teutoni, Baron Eugene, and Baron Felix came to greet them.

Since you're here, of course, you have to stop by to attend a neighbor's wedding.

One of them, the Teutonic Viscount, was a little confused at this time, and did not understand whether the royal family supported himself or Hobert?

Ethel spoke a few words to the Hobart son, inspected the guard of honor with a serious expression, and accepted the children's flowers with a smile.

As she got into the carriage, she made a few speeches, which amounted to a collective meeting with the nobles who had come to greet her, and only the Hobart and his son sent the princess to the villa halfway up the mountain.

A large number of the Princess's servants had arrived yesterday, and had already packed up a villa according to some of Ethel's habits, and had even replaced all the furniture and furnishings in the Princess's bedroom, dining room, and drawing-room.

As he entered, Ethel glanced at the décor of the villa and frowned slightly.

But the eyebrows were quickly soothed, and the Hobart father and son were warmly received in the living room.

After a few words, Ethel asked Hobert casually, "I heard that there are still a few troops in your territory?" Is that the one you just inspected in the port? ”

Hobart smiled gently, "Thank you Your Highness for reminding me, when I first came to the South Coulson area, there were bandits rampant here, and law and order was very poor.

"In order to protect myself and the people, I had to form the guards of the lord's palace, they are members of the guards, not the army."

Since the centralization of power by the royal families of the Northern Continent, it has gradually become illegal for the nobles with fiefs to have their own private armies.

But in order to ensure their own safety, small guards are available.

The reason why Hobert thanked Ethel for the reminder was because he heard Ethel's voice: Someone said that you formed a private army, you give me a reasonable explanation!

So after thanking Ethel, Hobart gave a reasonable explanation.

Ethel looked at the decoration in the living room: "I have never seen this kind of decoration style, at first it was very uncomfortable, but after a few glances, I feel that the more I look at it, the more solemn it is, what kind of style is this?" ”

The décor already looks very mature and is not a temporary creation.

Hobert said ambiguously: "This is a gift from a big man." ”

Christine, who was on the side, also thought that the decoration in the villa was very distinctive, but when he heard Hobert say this, he thought he was fooling Ethel.

He didn't plan to ask in detail, this was the way their father and son got along, each had their own secrets, and when they needed it, they could support it silently.

Ethel immediately thought of the "founder": "I see. ”

Then she said as if very casually: "Your huge investment in the South Coulson area has made many people a little red-eyed, pay attention to protecting themselves and their property. ”

Christine glanced at Ethel and Hobert with a somewhat strange expression, and he didn't know how Hobart had invited Princess Ethel.

However, Christine thought that Princess Ethel must have come to the wedding for the sake of the face of some big man.

But Princess Ethel's reminder has gone beyond the enthusiasm of coping with business to attend a wedding, and is more like a reminder from a friend.

This makes Kristen wonder, when did Hobert have a personal relationship with Ethel?

Hobert thanked Ethel again for the reminder and said that he would definitely pay attention to it.

Ethel then terminated the conversation, citing his exhaustion.

On the way back, Christine invited Hobart to ride with him in the same carriage.

The carriage drove out of the villa area, and Christine said: "Princess Ethel is a special existence in the royal family, and her mother is the current queen.

"The queen was not in good health, and she gave birth to a son and a daughter for the king, and the prince was born with the first legal right to the throne.

"Unfortunately, the little prince died at the age of three, and some say he died in a palace conspiracy, others say he died in the assassination of an enemy country.

In short, after the death of the little prince, the sons of Ethel and several princesses had the legal right to inherit the throne.

"I heard that this battle for the prince dragged on for more than half a year, and the current prince was finally determined, and it was because Ethel withdrew from the dispute for the prince early, and the matter was resolved so quickly.

According to a well-known political compromise, IJssel would inherit the title of Duke of Charles, his grandfather.

Because coincidentally, the Duke of Charles only has one daughter, the queen, and the royal family originally wanted to annex the territory, wealth and power of the Duke of Charles by marrying Charles's daughter.

As a result, the young prince died, and Fernando II had to compromise and let Ethel inherit his grandfather's title and status.

"But until now, there are still many ministers who want Ethel to become the prince because of their own interests."

Hobert had been listening quietly to Christine's explanation, and he didn't expect that this was a very special and powerful princess!

Christine only stated the facts and did not make any comments, believing that Hobert should be able to handle the relationship with Princess Ethel.

Hobert continued to greet the nobles who had come to the wedding on the docks, or the messengers of congratulations such as butlers sent by the nobles, and in just one day, the town of Jeffrey was already full.

A baron or a wealthy man with a fortune of less than 300,000 gold can only be assigned to a relatively spacious suite with a servant's room, and a large number of servants they bring with them can only live in cheap hotels except for valet or valet or valet valet .

But the accommodation had exceeded their expectations, and they had thought they would have to live in a tent in the backcountry of South Coulson.
