Hobart named "Fabouti's Ring" "1-106" and placed it on the stone platform where the Level 1 seal was held.

Hobert now prefers to carry "1-102" with him instead of the ring Fabouti gave him.

And the Level 2 seals, except for a few that are often used, are basically placed in the "Country of Disorder".

Hobert then reminisced about his conversation with Fabuti, and in "Lilith's Fall", the "Fallen Mother Goddess" and the "Mother Tree of Desire" each received a share of the benefits of the Sequence 1 extraordinary trait!

It's just that they didn't get the extraordinary traits they wanted, but they finally let their opponents get the extraordinary traits they wanted.

This made Hobart not only sigh: Fabuti is really a "demon king", the main thing is a fuck!

Hobert thought again: then, the "fall of Lilith" is not a cooperation between two outer gods, but like the "Mother Tree of Desire" stalking the enemy, finding an opportunity, and then using the "fallen mother goddess" conspiracy to get some benefits.

The entire "Lilith Fall Event" is a major event in the Second Age, and if we continue to dig, we may dig up more inside stories.

And the "bound god" Tolzner has the current result is not unjust at all, it turns out that he defected to the enemy early because he did not stand the test.

After sealing the relevant memories, Hobart returns to the real world and continues to rest.

The next day, Hobert invited Epli again and gave her some of the hair and blood of Captain Dunn that he had collected during his time in Tingen, and asked her to help him refine the puppet.

There were only five or six hairs, because Captain Dunn didn't have a lot of hair at the time.

Epli put away her blood and hair, told Hobert that it would take about half a month to refine the puppet, and talked to Folth for a while before leaving.

Over the next two or three days, Hobart noticed that ships were gradually starting to take the course of the Dedij River, because only Jeffrey Territory could be resupplied and docked in the entire South Coulson area, and it became almost a must-stop for cargo ships.

Hobert asked Alan to inquire, and sure enough, it was the previous marriage reports that played a role, Princess Ethel had come to Jeffrey Collar through the Dedijae River, and spoke highly of it, which was enough to prove that some previous reports of slandering the Dedijay River were rumors.

In addition, it is said that the new books in the major bookstores have been sold out, and after reading the books, many people have shown enough curiosity about the place to take time to come to Jeffrey Collar for a vacation.

Unfortunately, the transportation here is not very convenient, and there are only a few passenger boats a week.

When Hobert was wondering if he was going to contact the ship passenger company, the passenger company took the initiative to send someone to the door, hoping to set up a station at Jeffrey Harbor.

Hobert made two requests, the first of which was to give Jeffrey the relevant port entry permit for the ship. The second is the sharing of passenger and freight revenues.

The railways and shipping of the Kingdom of Fenerport are not directly subordinate units of the kingdom, but some large passenger transport companies or shipping companies.

According to the custom, if you want to set up a site in Jeffrey's territory, Hobert, as the ruler of this territory, has the right to share it with the other party.

After making the request, Hobert handed over the negotiation to Philip, and as a lord, he didn't have to bother too much with such a trivial matter.

What made "Lord Hobert" more concerned was a report submitted by Conrad, during the post-disaster reconstruction and land reform, Conrad found that the people in the new territory were not only too emaciated, but also seemed to have some mental problems.

They still believe in the ugly demons, and Conrad once tried to destroy the stone statues, but was stopped and resisted by the locals.

When Bishop Simpson learned of this, he ordered the stone statues and some symbols to be smashed by hand, and the light of the Mother Goddess was read.

However, Conrad found that this did not seem to work, and the villagers still worshipped the broken stone statue, or the original location of the stone statue.

On the contrary, it also deepened the contradictions between the town government and the villagers, and the two sides were opposed.

After reading the report, Hobert frowned, this is a bit strange, the villagers should be more willing to believe in Mother Earth Goddess than those demons.

Then it occurred to Hobart that it was Jeffrey Territory, or rather the situation on the east bank of the Tidige River.

This is basically the territory of the Gnostic, and although the Gnosis is also very good at exploiting the people, at least they don't like to kill at will.

Hobart thought that the people of the West Bank might have been under bloody rule for a long time and had become accustomed to that bloody and brutal environment? Suddenly in a normal environment, they don't adapt to it?

He said in his heart: No wonder so many potions were digested at once, and it turned out that the people of the West Bank fell into unprecedented panic and confusion after being rescued. Such a reaction caused the hearts of the people of the West Bank to become extremely confused, which is why the potion was so obviously digested.

At this time, only the power of religion can give people some comfort.

Hobert asked Allen to ask Bishop Simpson, who was going to renovate several churches on the West Bank and have Bishop Simpson send pastors.

Hobert meets with Simpson in the side hall, the first time the two have met since the battle with the "Demon".

After talking about the current situation first, Hobert smiled and said, "I suddenly remembered that our deal for the 'Ancient Canglong Beast Liver Crystal' has not yet been reached. ”

The smile on Simpson's face became even stronger: "I was also about to talk to you about this matter, the previous battle was highly affirmed by the Pope, and Bowen's extraordinary characteristics are also a trophy that is very attractive to the Holy See."

"If I get the 'Ancient Canglong Beast's Liver Crystal' again, I will definitely get the opportunity to become an 'Ancient Alchemist'."

Hobert held his teacup: "That's great, there should be a demigod in the South Coulson area." ”

If Bishop Simpson can become a demigod, it means that the interests of the two people will be very strong.

After taking a sip of tea, Hobert was a little embarrassed: "It stands to reason that I should have given you that main material directly, but you also know that Jeffrey is spending so much money now!" ”

"Of course I do!" Bishop Simpson was very cooperative: "You can make a price without worry." ”

"30,000 gold."

Bishop Simpson agreed: "No problem." ”

Anyway, he doesn't have to spend his own money, and Hobart doesn't have a sky-high asking price, which has already given him a lot of face.

Then Hobart talked about the mental state of the people in the West Bank, and before he could talk about reforming the church, Simpson shook his head and said, "They're hopeless." ”

Hobert was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"I've been to the site to see it." Bishop Simpson said with a look of regret: "Their spiritual bodies have been influenced by the 'demons' for a long time, and they have been polluted to a certain extent.

"According to the experience of the church, there is no way to eliminate such pollution!"

Hobert was somewhat surprised: "Is there any solution?" ”

Bishop Simpson shook his head again: "The contamination of the spiritual body is the most difficult to treat, and at most it can only be treated with some tranquilizers, so that they do not have the energy to harm others.

"I'd suggest that the administrators you send out do nothing at all, because from what I've observed, most of them will heal themselves after a few months without touching the stone statues and symbols of the 'demons'.

"During this period, they are very emotional, and no matter what they do, it is easy to anger them!

"And about 30% of the people have no chance of recovery, they will believe in demons all their lives, and it will affect the people around them.

"I suggest that after a while, we should investigate and move all these incurable people together to live so that they don't affect other people."

Hobert's brows furrowed, not satisfied with this solution: "The 'demon' is not shallow! ”

"yes." Simpson chimed in: "I've read some texts that say that once upon a time there was a kingdom of demons.

"It's hard to imagine how miserable life is for the people of that country."

Hobert asked again, "Is there no other way?" ”

"That's all I can give you." Bishop Simpson's words seem to have some deep meaning.

The so-called other schemes, Hobart also thought of them, which are nothing more than this: kill!

But Hobart was even less satisfied with the plan.

When Bishop Simpson got up to leave, he seemed to say casually: "Archbishop Gabriel is very interested in your faith. ”

"I am a believer in Mother Earth God." Hobert smiled, "I was baptized before the emblem of life, and it was the Lady of the Mother Goddess who baptized me. ”

Bishop Simpson nodded meaningfully, and as he had guessed, the successful completion of Hobart's baptism meant that the Mother Goddess had endorsed the possession of both faiths.

If Hobart had been ill-intentioned at that time, the baptism would not have been successfully completed, and Utravsky, as a dependent, would have felt the intention of the Mother Goddess and ended the baptism.

There may be cooperation between the gods, but that's not something for a bishop to consider.

Simpson decided that as long as he maintained a good relationship with Hobart and provided enough support, he would definitely gain some benefits in the future.

After sending Simpson away, Hobart asked Alan to recall Freya and the other three, and he wanted to hear a detailed description of the mental condition of the people in the West Bank.

It was not until the next morning, Monday morning, that Hobart saw his two students and a valet.

After they had breakfast, Hobart immediately called them to the study and asked, "I heard that the people of the West Bank are not in good spirits. ”

"It's not not bad, it's weird." Selena, with red hair, was the first to reply: "They sometimes sit there all day without eating or drinking.

"At first, I thought they were so sad because they lost their loved ones!

"It turned out not at all! It's like a habit or custom of theirs, to do nothing, to eat nothing.

"I brought food and water to them and told them to go to work with me when they were full, but they didn't listen to me at all after they had eaten and drunk.

"There were two soldiers with guns who forced them to work, and they seemed to suddenly change people, kneeling and smiling flatteringly, and then they followed them."

Hobert was stunned, although he was not a psychiatrist, he could also give a judgment, this was a serious mental illness.

Dennis, who was much more steady, but occasionally stunned, added: "They believe in evil gods, and Bishop Simpson's mission is so wonderful that the believers present have deepened their faith in the mother goddess."

"But they didn't listen, and after smashing their statues, they showed anger, and some of them even sat on the ground and cried, looking desperate."

Hobert nodded imperceptibly and looked at Freya.

Freya, whose complexion was a little ruddy and her shiny hair was combed into a ponytail, finally said: "There are a total of 59 families in the village I visited, and none of them are complete families, and at least two people in each family have been killed by the previous rulers.

"There are many reasons for being killed, because of breathing, because of walking with your feet, because of passing by the river, because of being forced...... If you don't resist when you force you to do that kind of thing, you look like a dead man, because ......"

Freya's eyes were red, and she couldn't say any more.

Selena and Dennis were dumbfounded, only to realize that they seemed to have mistaken the point.

Hobert patted her on the shoulder and comforted, "We're here, they won't have to happen like this again." ”

Freya nodded, took a deep breath and continued, "I learned that their ancestors used to live a prosperous life, and that there were more than a hundred families in that village.

"Since the arrival of those demons, they have gradually realized that they must worship those demons religiously, and only in this way, when they encounter those demons, can they be kicked away by the demons laughing and kicking away like a wild dog that has been kicked away, so as to avoid the fate of being killed.

"But the more they worship the demons, the more they get excited, or they don't have any emotions at all.

"As for the anger or despair after smashing the statue, they are afraid that the demons will anger them if they come back.

"The bishop can walk away, and our people can walk away, but they can't go.

"I think the act of smashing the stone statues is too extreme, and we should adopt some softer measures to change their habits little by little."

Hobert nodded seriously: "If this is an assessment, only Freya is excellent among the three of you."

"Because she got to the root of the problem, and you only see the surface."

Selena was a little ashamed, while Dennis was thoughtful.

Hobart said, "In order to reward Freya, I intend to make her an extraordinary person in advance. ”

Selena's expression looked a little annoyed, and she felt that she had missed an opportunity.

Dennis didn't expect that he would have this opportunity.

After spending some time with the two students of the Lord, he already knew some information about the Extraordinary, and even more so on how rare such an opportunity was.

"Don't be discouraged either of you." Hobert said to the tournament and Dennis, "It's a lesson, and when this is over, I'm going to make you extraordinary."

"Alright, I'll talk about a few of the Extraordinary Pathways I have at my disposal, and Freya can choose from them, and you two can listen to them first.

"First of all, my own way, after taking potions, I will become eloquent, I can distort the thoughts of others, and my body will become very strong. After that, it has the ability to distort thoughts, corrode the mind, and cause others to fall into chaos.

"And my wife, Forthth's ability, to open an illusory door at first, and to use a lot of trick-like abilities. After that, he can divination, can record the extraordinary ability of others, and can appear in other countries in a very short time. ”

The three of them were slightly stunned, and they realized at this time that the lord's wife was also extraordinary.

Hobart continued, starting with the "Gravedigger" and "Hunter" paths, which had the full potion recipes: "Ciel is the extraordinary of the 'Hunter' path, but Selena and Freya can't choose that path......"

Then there are the ways to master some potions, there are "arbiters", "warriors", "voyeurs", "sailors", etc., and there are several ways to say in one breath.

Freya was dazzled for a moment.

"You can think about it first and give me an answer in the afternoon." Hobert Road.

"I want to be an 'arbiter'!" Freya suddenly said, "So that I can judge and punish some people and things in the future." ”

Hober nodded: "I respect your choice and come to collect the potion in the afternoon." ”

After dealing with the students, Hobert's worries were even greater, and the truth was worse than in Conrad's report and Simpson's statement.

Hobert decided to ask Audrey if there was any good way to do it at the tarot meeting for a while.

Then go back to the West Bank with the students and do your own research to see if there is a solution to the problem.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, under the watchful eye of Hobert and in the presence of Selena and Dennis, Freya took the potion and became an "arbiter".

As soon as Hobart finished explaining the abilities of the "Arbiter", Alan came in with the soldier of the guard, Archie: "Sir, there is a riot on the West Bank!" ”

"What?" Hobart abruptly stood up and asked the big-shouldered and round-waisted Archie, "What's going on?" ”

"This morning, a part of the population became very angry! Start attacking us. Archie, Dennis's eldest brother, said: "Captain Schill saw that the momentum was not right, so he immediately withdrew to the lord's mansion by covering the civil servants and the young men who had helped in the past.

"Now the people are surrounding the Lord's Palace, and Mayor Conrad and the others are confronting them."

Hobart walked up to Archie in two steps and asked, "Are there any casualties among our men?" ”

"Because of the timely response, only a few people were injured, but they were all traumatic injuries such as broken bones and bleeding, and there were no major problems."

Hobert breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Did Schill shoot?" ”

"Captain Schill said that you can't shoot at the crowd without the lord's order." Archie replied with a straight look: "But in order to cover everyone's retreat, we shot into the sky to warn!" ”

Hobart nodded with satisfaction: "Schill is the first credit!" ”

If it was a soldier brought out by Christine, he might have gone on a killing spree a long time ago, but after all, Schill was someone who had been with Hobart for a while, and he knew the style and temperament of this lord.

At such a critical time, Schill's reaction pleased Hobert.

Hobert sat back in his chair and thought calmly for a few minutes before he said to a few people: "Archie, Dennis, you go to Roy to ask for someone, and then bring a batch of supplies to the West Bank, don't take the initiative to conflict with the locals."

"But if there is an attack, it is also necessary to fight back effectively.

"Freya, Selena, you get ready, and follow me to the West Bank in a few minutes."

"Yes!"

After a few people left, Hobert felt Archibald's gaze, and then he said, "You stay, and when the lady returns, let her sit in the lord's mansion, and you don't want to go there, just assist her here." ”

Archibald nodded: "Okay." ”

Hobert suddenly realized that this "dog" had suddenly become motivated, and when he was assigned tasks in the future, Archibald could be counted.

As he thought about it, he went back to his bedroom and put on his cape, and Hobert prayed to the "Fool" that he had encountered an unexpected situation and would not be able to attend this week's tarot meeting.

Without waiting for the "Fool's" reply, Hobert returned to the study, and Freya and Selena, who had simply cleaned up, had also returned.

Hobert used "travel" to take them back to the West Bank quickly.

The three of them suddenly appeared in the main hall of Baron Felix's lord's mansion, startling everyone here.

However, those who could be in the main hall at this time were all the high-ranking people sent by Hobert before, Schill was already an extraordinary person, and Colwin, who was wrapped in a bandage on his head, knew some knowledge of the extraordinary world, Conrad was surprised, but quickly hid his emotions.

Only Baron Felix was surprised for a few seconds, and said with a wry smile in his heart: I actually want to take advantage of the chaos to regain power, it's really naïve, Hobart can even fight those demons, how can I be his opponent?

Hobart appeared in the hall and asked, "How's it going?" ”

Conrad stood up to give up his position and reported: "The people stormed the lord's palace twice, but we were beaten back with sticks. ”

Hobart sat down, and Freya and Selena stood behind Hobart consciously.

I only heard Hobart ask, "Have you asked them for anything?" ”

"Yes." "They demanded a restoration of faith, re-carving of stone statues of demons, re-painting of abstract symbols, and timely sacrifices," Conrad said. ”

Although Conrad and others are already experts in government affairs under the experience of Hobert, they have not dealt with mass incidents, and they are a little helpless at this time.

Hobert recalled some of the ways in which mass events were dealt with in the Common Era.

Even if he hasn't dealt with it, he has watched a lot of this kind of TV series.

"Let them elect ten representatives to negotiate." Hobart said, "I met them outside the gate of the Lord's Palace. ”

"Yes!" The people present immediately got up and went outside to give notice.

They all knew what Hobart was capable of, and they didn't worry that Hobart would be in danger at all.

After Baron Felix also got up to say goodbye, Selena asked with some curiosity, "Teacher, do you really want to promise to restore their faith?" ”

Hobert shook his head slightly: "Can't restore their so-called faith, that's the bottom line. ”

He smiled slightly, "Didn't I tell you at noon that my way will make people have excellent eloquence."

"Okay, you guys help me guard the door, I have to make some preparations."

Take a little break today, and add more (*^▽^*) tomorrow
