After dinner, Hobert asked Selena to record the handling of the riot today, as well as the conversation at dinner, in the form of a story.

Then copy a few more copies, and each department sends a copy over, which is regarded as the guiding ideology in the work of the town government.

Today's reaction of Conrad, Corwin and Hill made Hobart realize the role of the "guiding ideology", when faced with a problem, there is a ready-made logic out there, and it can be used immediately, which really makes the work of the town government more efficient, and the situation tends to develop in the direction that Hobert expects.

At the same time, Hobert also understood the importance of unity of thought.

When everyone was basically rested, Hobart locked the door and prayed to the "Fool" that he could be alone with Miss Justice.

Ten minutes later, Hobert's vision was covered by gray mist, and he came to the position of the "Emperor" in the Hall of Giants.

On the opposite side sat only "Just" Audrey, and the top of the bronze table was empty, with no Mr. Fool figure.

But Hobart knew that Klein the Fool must be somewhere in the hall, otherwise he and Audrey would not have been able to appear above the gray mist.

Audrey was very curious about such a meeting: "The emperor ...... Hobert, you didn't attend today, and everyone is worried about you. ”

Hobert smiled, "There was a riot in my territory today. ”

Audrey almost covered her mouth in surprise: "Riot, my God, why did this happen?" ”

Hobert outlines the previous demonic rule: "...... In that bloody rule, the local population was forced to believe in demons and was inevitably spiritually polluted.

"The people I sent to help them plant in the spring, help them rebuild their homes after the disaster, and forbid them to believe in demons again, but they were strongly resisted by some people, and as a result, there was a riot!"

Audrey clenched her good-looking fists and said indignantly, "Damn demon! ”

Then she thought about it and asked, "Why do they have to rebuild their homes?" I haven't heard of any recent disasters in Coulson County in the Kingdom of Fenerport? Could it be that the demons destroyed their home when they left? ”

Since knowing the exact location of Hobert's territory, Audrey has paid attention to all the information from Colson County, intentionally or unintentionally, with Earl Hall's connections and network, Audrey does not dare to say that she knows Coulson County well, but she still knows some about the big things that happen in real time.

Moreover, at the tarot meeting in the afternoon, the "magician" Furth did not mention that there had been a natural disaster near the Full Moon Lake.

"Hmm...... There's nothing to hide. Hobert said, "That disaster is the result of an angel-level battle. ”

Not only Audrey was surprised, but Crane, who was sitting at the top, was also a little surprised: why did an angel-level battle happen?

As Hobart had expected, Mr. Fool was in the hall, seated at the head of the long bronze table, except that he had added a chair to himself, with his back to Audrey and Hobert.

The tall back of the chair perfectly conceals Mr. Fool's penchant for eavesdropping.

Hobert briefly described the situation at that time, and finally said: "...... 'Founder' was also very supportive of my initiation, not only sending the Sage to participate in the battle, but also sending the Angel to participate in the battle after the other party summoned the 'Blood Grand Duke'. ”

As a result of the battle, ninety percent of Eugene's men died in the aftermath of the battle, including Baron Eugene's family.

But at the same time, it also stopped the "Blood Grand Duke" in Eugene, and finally did not cause the death of ninety percent of the people in the entire South Coulson area.

However, Hobert didn't plan to tell this to Audrey, who was somewhat "righteous and clean".

Audrey sighed in her heart at this time: Sure enough, it is the god on the side of justice, and the "founder" is not only jealous and hateful to the "Rose School", but also takes the initiative to destroy those demons!

Then she was a little proud: Furth didn't even know about the angel-level battle, but Hobert told me!

Hobert added: "The riot is basically resolved, but I estimate that nearly 10,000 people have been relatively seriously mentally polluted, so I would like to ask you, is there any way to treat their mental pollution?" ”

He exclaimed, "You may not imagine that among this group of people, there are many children under the age of ten!" ”

Audrey couldn't imagine what that area had been through!

She frowned: "According to some of the knowledge I have learned, mental pollution can almost only be healed by itself, and I can only make some psychological hints to make them look like normal people for the time being."

"The key is ......"

The key is that there are too many patients, and it may take three or four months for Audrey to treat them one by one, and it is estimated that it will take more than half a year to have a follow-up visit.

This is obviously somewhat unrealistic.

Audrey pondered and began to consider if there was any other way.

Hobert waited quietly, and for a moment the hall became unusually silent.

"I did think of a theoretically feasible solution." Audrey said.

After she became an "audience", she read a lot of books on psychology, and after joining the Psychological Alchemy Society, she read a lot of related research materials from there, and the senior members of the Psychological Alchemy Society have read as much as she has.

So Audrey can come up with her own way to give herself psychological cues and explore her subconscious space.

She is very professional when it comes to the theoretical knowledge of the mind.

Hobert made a gesture of please, and Audrey continued, "I think the mental pollution of those people should be somewhat like a spiritual imprint. Theoretically, a more powerful spiritual imprint could be used to cover the 'imprint' left by the demon.

"If the one who left the new brand is normal enough and does not show such states as evil, depravity, bloodlust, then under the influence of the new brand, those people will be much more normal.

"But they will still be different from ordinary people, easy to get excited and extreme, but a large part of them should be able to heal themselves gradually, but there must also be some people who may not be able to get rid of such mental problems for the rest of their lives."

The more Hobert thought about it, the more he felt that this method worked, and Audrey had made it clear: they could ask the "fool" or "creator" to give them a new brand.

The "fool" at the head of the bronze table prayed: Goddess bless, don't come to me, go to the "founder"!

Hobart quickly decided: "It's better than spending their entire lives under the influence of demons." ”

He took a deep breath: "Thank you for the advice, how much does it cost?" ”

"There are no consultation fees." Audrey smiled: "If it can be useful to you, to treat so many innocent people, it is the best consultation fee." ”

Hobber nodded: "I will definitely try to save as many people as possible." ”

"Hobert, you are a noble man." Audrey suddenly smiled and said, "Don't question everything you do, don't care about those gossip, do what you think is right." ”

Hobert was slightly stunned, but soon realized that Audrey saw the loss she had unintentionally shown.

Yes, even though he knew that the people were affected by demons to become so insane, but Hobert gave them help, but in exchange for riots and incomprehension, he must have felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

But as Audrey said, he knew that this way of dealing with it was the right way, and that the Teutonic way of dealing with it was wrong.

That's why he hid his loss in front of his subordinates, but he didn't expect it to be seen by Audrey.

Hobert smiled, "Thank you for the comfort, I feel better." ”

If you don't understand, you don't understand, Hobert said: As long as you feel that you have done the right thing, what do you do if others understand or not?

After a separate exchange, Hobert begins to think of ways to put a new stigma on the mentally abnormal, and eventually comes up with a simple plan.

For the next two days, Hobert stayed in Baron Felix's lord's palace to preside over the overall situation, and the work of "diversion" of the subjects was basically completed.

Most of them chose to stay in their homes, began to take serious care of the crops in the fields, and built or renovated their homes under the command of public servants.

About 11,000 people spontaneously came to Eugene, which had become a wilderness, and there they searched for stone, wood, and all other materials that could be carved, and carved one ugly demon statue after another.

It wasn't until they saw the statues that they seemed to find a sense of security.

The people who were punished in the villages and towns also said goodbye to their families and embarked on the journey quite tragically.

Hobert looked at the appearance of these people, and inexplicably wanted to laugh, he planned to give these people a vacation in three days, and let them go home, and the expressions of these people must be quite wonderful at that time.

During these two days, Hobart also received the king's envoy, a viscount of the court.

The messenger first complimented Hobert, and then informed Hobart that the Coulson County Association would send the mayor and officials to the west shore of Full Moon Lake in the near future, and thanked Hobart for his contribution to the stability of the South Coulson area.

Hobart clapped his hands and said, "Finally, I have waited for the king's help, Mr. Emissary, the people here have suffered from the demonic spiritual pollution, and have already launched a riot.

"There are still more than 10,000 people who are extremely aggressive, and I have gathered them all together, and since Mr. Messenger is here, please give the order to execute them!"

The court viscount was stunned: "How can I give such a cruel order?" ”

"You didn't give it, you gave it in the name of the king!"

"Neither can a king kill his own people so cruelly!"

Hobert nodded as if he understood something: "Anyway, those people will be handed over to you, I believe you should be able to deal with them properly." ”

The court viscount did not give an immediate reply, but proposed to meet the more than 10,000 people.

Hobert asked Schill to take the messenger to Eugene, and the worship of the demon statue and the malice shown in their words and deeds were still fresh in the messenger's memory.

After returning to the lord's palace, the court viscount immediately took his leave.

Before leaving, Hobert also asked the court viscount to ask for a total of 20,000 gold for disaster relief on the west bank of Full Moon Lake, and generously said that he would give the viscount a 10% kickback.

The court viscount simply agreed, and without making any promises, he hurriedly got on the boat.

He had to stop the rank and file officials who might have set off as soon as possible, and report the situation to the king.

In the eyes of the court viscount, this is completely a place with a lot of money but little value, and the most important thing is that the king certainly can't bear the infamy of slaughtering more than 10,000 people!

It will be a while to wait for Hobart to finish all this "dirty work" before resuming the rule here.

This is the reason why Hobert emphasized "responsibility" with Conrad and others in previous conversations.

Nowadays, the countries of the Northern Continent, from the royal family to the government, have no sense of responsibility to the people.

……

Early Thursday morning, yesterday's light rain caused a layer of mist in the wilderness of Eugene Collar.

The clouds surged, and the mist was swept by the breeze, rolling through the mountains and drifting over the neat dead grass with dewdrops.

Angus, with five members of the First Squad, followed Hobart to the wilderness again.

Now the colorful grass in this wilderness has been cleared out of a large area, which is the result of the more than 10,000 people who would rather die than believe in the devil in the past two days, and after pulling out all these grasses, they will be sent to the Earth Mother God Church.

At this time, more than 10,000 people were called up early, and they very obediently followed the instructions of the administrator to a hillside that had been cleared.

This group of people shows amazing two sides, on the one hand, they are hot-tempered, they can fight each other at every turn, and they often fight for their lives.

On the other hand, they are very deferential to administrators who are armed with weapons, even if they are armed with wooden sticks, and almost do whatever they tell them to do.

But only if you don't touch their statues.

In the haze, they saw Baron Hobert, whose hair was wet with mist, walking briskly to the top of the mountain.

Hobert stared coldly at the faces on the hillside that were either cold, fierce, or absent-minded.

He laughed and said, "As you expected, you main participants and planners of the uprising, I can't just forgive you so easily!" ”

Many people hugged or clenched the statue in their arms or hands, and they knew that this oppressive baron would not just let himself be a coolie.

"Prepare to be punished by you!" Hobert smiled, suddenly lowered his head and made a gesture of prayer.

No matter what the people on the hillside didn't understand what the baron was going to do, even Angus and the others didn't know how the lord was going to punish these people.

Suddenly, in the mid-air above Lord Hobert's head, a violent wind suddenly hit, and the mist was torn apart violently, and a hollow place appeared in mid-air.

Then, a terrifying force descended, and even ordinary people could fully feel the majesty in mid-air that made people dare not look at it directly.

At this time, many people on the hillside were already kneeling down in fear.

Angus and several other extraordinary people stared blankly at the figure in mid-air that seemed to be sitting in the midst of a sharp sword.

He radiated divine radiance, as if he could put an end to all chaos, and as if he could bring about complete chaos.

He exuded an aura of majesty that made people unconsciously bow their heads, unconsciously wanting to surrender.

His majesty could be felt in a large area around him, and in the area of majesty, His words seemed to be an unquestionable command.

When Angus came back to his senses, he realized that he didn't know when he had fallen to his knees.

He quickly lowered his head and threw himself to the ground like the people around him.

At this time, there was some excitement in his panic: no wonder Hobart was able to invite angels to fight for him, it turned out that Christine and his son had taken refuge in a god! It's just, it's just great! As long as I take Hober seriously, I will have a chance to get ahead!
