Chapter 504: Bernadette Arrives in Jeffrey's Town

Hobert's trade in magical items with the ability to "travel" ultimately failed to find a suitable buyer.

Audrey originally had the idea of buying it, but she had traded a lot of information recently, and she couldn't come up with so much money for a while.

I could have asked my father for some reimbursement, but I thought that if I disappeared in my room for twenty or thirty minutes, there was a high probability that I would be discovered by the maids, and it would be very troublesome.

In the end, she persuaded herself: it is better to save the money to buy a magical item that can change her appearance.

None of the others had such a large sum of money, so the deal didn't end up.

The "World" then asked to speak with the Hermit Lady alone, and Hobart thought of the deal Crane was going to make with him to remove the pollution of the Extraordinary Properties, and he guessed that Crane was contacting the Hermit Lady in preparation for entering the eastern part of the Sunia Sea.

In other words, Klein is about to be promoted to Sequence 5!

After the one-on-one communication between the two people, the tarot will enter the free communication session.

Audrey was the first to say: "I got the news that more than 50,000 pounds of cash was lost in the vault of Barclays Bank three days ago!"

"This is the fourth case of a large amount of cash theft in the past half month, and the total amount of cash lost is as high as about 160,000 pounds!"

Emlyn sighed: "This serial theft case has not been solved yet? Oh my God, £160,000! With so much cash, I don't know how long the robbers are going to spend it? ”

If he had such a sum of money, he would definitely ...... all the dolls he liked No, definitely buy a doll-making factory! Then buy a big showroom full of dolls and the clothes they wear for different occasions!

"According to what I have learned," Audrey received from the bishop of Beckland, she said, "This is definitely a case in which the Extraordinary is involved, and it is said that the Extraordinary Person, whose name is 'The Resentful', is suspected of committing a major crime, but unfortunately no specific suspect has been identified yet." ”

Hobart and Klein were stunned, and Hobart thought: This can't be the source of the payment I received, right? That's what Miss Sharon said was the way to raise money? No wonder she said that as long as they were given time, money was not a problem, it turned out to be giving them time to rob the bank! I naively thought it was giving them time to sell their assets!

Klein thought: Speaking of 'resentful spirits', I only know Miss Sharon, and when the "Emperor" asked for Miss Sharon's contact information some time ago, I guessed that the "Emperor" should not only ally with the temperance faction, but also deal with the spoils of the Southern Continent, which should have a large number of extraordinary characteristics. Miss Sharon wouldn't be committing crimes because she wanted to buy those extraordinary traits, would she?

Gadelia said: "'Resentful Soul' is the sequence 5 of the 'Prisoner' path, and the extraordinary people of this level can already do whatever they want to a certain extent.

"But even so, it is rare for a Sequence 5 Extraordinary to commit such a continuous crime, because this is easy to be targeted by the elite squad of the official Extraordinary Person, and it is only a matter of time before they are caught."

Audrey nodded: "I hope to solve the case as soon as possible and bring the criminals to justice as soon as possible." ”

Hobart said in his heart: I hope that I will never solve the case, after all, the stolen money is still with me. Uh, or it doesn't matter to me if I solve the case or not, but don't try to recover the stolen money.

Wrapping up the discussion, Klein announced the end of the tarot meeting.

Above the gray mist, after finishing the sacrifices and bestows of the members, Crane returned to the real world and turned on the faucet, slapped the cold tap water on his face, and his whole body suddenly sobered up.

After reminiscing about the information he received at the Tarot meeting and taking a short break, Klein decided to volunteer at the hospital for a while, looking for an opportunity to play as the "Faceling".

After more than half an hour, he opened the door and entered the Olawe Medical Foundation, a charitable organization backed by the Church of the Night Goddess, whose role is to provide trained volunteers to various hospitals.

Arriving at the registration desk, Klein saw a female staff member flipping through the newspaper, so he tapped on the table.

"What's the matter?" The lady asked, putting down the newspaper.

"I want to volunteer."

The lady looked up at Klein, "Name ......"

After seeing the appearance of the person in front of her clearly, her eyes froze, and the pen she had just picked up fell to the ground with a "click".

The newspaper in front of her happened to have a portrait of the crazy and dangerous adventurer Gelman Sparrow.

The thirty-something lady trembled in her voice: "You, you're going to volunteer?" ”

"Yes." Klein didn't expect Gelman Sparrow to be so famous!

"But, but you're an adventurer!"

Forget it, come back after changing your face and clothes, Klein asked expressionlessly, "Who rules that adventurers can't be volunteers?" ”

With an expression on her face that was about to burst into tears, the lady blurted out, "It's not me!" ”

"I'm sorry, I don't want to volunteer again." With that, Klein walked away quickly.

The lady in charge of registration let out a long sigh of relief, and she quietly drew a crimson moon on her chest: Goddess, how could such a dangerous guy come to volunteer? I had just made up my mind to turn in the form that Gelman Sparrow had filled out to the police.

……

The kingdom of Fenerport, on the western shore of Lake Full Moon.

On the altar in front of Hobert, there were three extraordinary properties that were obviously not normal.

Two of them glowed blue and were collected by Hobert for £7,000, and two were of extraordinary properties from the Temple of Death in Kavituwa.

There is also a viscous liquid that seems to be doped with black, which is the extraordinary property of the "Secret Puppet Master" that Klein commissioned to process.

The cost of helping with the extraordinary properties was £3,000, and the gold pounds Hobert earned from selling information at this party were £6,600 and two extraordinary materials.

With this plus and minus, Hobert also got 2,600 pounds in cash.

With that 150,000-pound deal, Hobert didn't even pay much attention to the thousands of pounds in cash.

After waiting for a while, Hobert sacrificed three extraordinary traits and cash to the "Land of Discord", and after sitting on the Iron Throne, Hobert first summoned the extraordinary traits of the "Master of Secret Puppets".

According to his previous experience, he shattered this extraordinary trait, and at the same time as the extraordinary trait shattered, a viscous force appeared in the "power of chaos".

Hobert summoned a stone from the "Land of Disorder" and attached this power to the stone shaped into a round cake.

The colored granite suddenly became pitch black and translucent, and finally became like a piece of black jade.

Using the person of "Country of Disorder", Hobart learned the specific usage of this piece of black jade, it has the whisper of "true creator", if in the real world, if you touch it without taking any measures to protect it, it will be immediately affected by the whisper, and the extraordinary below the demigod can get out of control in three to six seconds.

This is not the same as the "blessing of the abyss" that Hobart had "extracted" before, it was Fabouti's "blessing" for Hobart personally, and the whispers of the real creator were more like an extraordinary broadcast.

Hobert reached out again and summoned a piece of granite, covering half of the cake-shaped black jade, and as long as he held the granite, he could use the black jade to attack actively.

The number of active attacks is three times, after which the "True Creator" murmur is transferred to three different targets.

This is equivalent to splitting the whisper into three, but it can still easily make the "low sequence" extraordinary person out of control.

The whispering has only been divided, but the overall has not weakened, and the whispering of this evil god will not weaken until a long, long time.

Then, according to the last method, Hobert smashed the extraordinary characteristics of the two "Sailor" paths, and made a detailed distinction, and finally obtained 3 "Wind Favorers", 4 "Navigators", 3 "Wrathful People", and 2 "Sailors" extraordinary characteristics.

During this period, the extraordinary characteristics of the "Secret Puppet Master" have been re-condensed, and in order to prevent Klein from being burdened when taking potions, Hobert only brought the extraordinary characteristics of the "Secret Puppet Master" and the black jade to the real world.

As for the four extraordinary traits such as the "Faceling", Hobert stayed in the "Land of Disorder".

That's right, it's all for Klein's sake.

Then Hobart happily wondered if he was going to write a letter to Leonard to discuss a deal to sell the extraordinary properties of the "soothsayer"?

It wasn't until the evening that Hobert re-sacrificed the extraordinary traits and black jade to the "Fool".

The next morning, Hobart recruited three of his students again, asked them about their recent work, and then gave Selena and Dennis the chance to become extraordinary, respectively.

Selena chose to become an "apprentice", and Hobert didn't mention the incomplete potion recipe for this path, because after Forthth reached the sequence number, Selena also had a high probability of reaching the sequence number.

And the "apprentice" is very much in line with Selena's current status, and should be able to digest potions quickly.

Dennis did not hesitate to choose Hobart's path, so Hobart had a request for him: to teach himself Rune.

Once he is proficient in communicating with Selena and Freya, Hobart will send him to Beckland's law firm to digest potions.

Hobert then tells them that he is going back to Jeffrey, and announces how to summon his couriers so that they can contact them if they have any problems.

Hobart was going to let them train here for a while before recalling them back.

After explaining some official matters, Hobart left the West Bank with Hill and the other soldiers and returned to the town of Jeffrey.

When Furth heard the news, he came to the gate of the lord's mansion to greet him.

Today she wore a pale yellow dress, and her clothes were indeed much thinner than the last time they met.

Hobert jumped off the horse and opened his arms: "My beautiful lady, have you missed me for more than a week?" ”

Because there were many servants around, Furth was embarrassed to say anything, but blushed slightly, and looked at Hobart with a smile.

Donna on the side smiled and said, "We all understand that this means 'thinking'!" ”

Hobart smiled and hugged Firth and kissed her on the cheek before pulling her back to the Lord's Mansion.

As soon as a few people arrived at the study and said a few words, Alan came in and reported: "Sir, Madam, Donna Knight, the King's messenger has arrived. ”

Hobert was stunned: "The King's Messenger? ”

He said to himself, "Did the messenger go wrong?" Hobert and the king did not know each other very well, but Teutonic on the other side of the river often went to the king to inform.

Eren reaffirmed, "Yes, messenger of the king. ”

Only then did Hobert change into the baron's aristocratic costume and come to the main hall to receive the envoy.

With a cold face, the messenger entered the main hall and read: "In the name of the king!" ”

As he spoke, he opened a delicate wooden box and pulled out a roll of parchment with a fire-lacquered stamp.

Hobert was slightly stunned, and quickly knelt down on one knee in front of the messenger.

The messenger read: "Order: Baron Hobert Geoffrey, on the morning of March 5, must arrive at the Al Khambra Palace to attend the feast of the founding day!" ”

Hobert was stunned, the king called me to a banquet?

Then he suddenly thought of the conversation Christine had had with him, and he suddenly realized that this banquet was not simple.

When he had finished reading, the messenger handed the parchment to Hobert: "Baron, please, we will see you in Fenerport!" ”

After saying that, the messenger is leaving.

Hobart quickly got up and smiled, "Lord Messenger, please stay for lunch before leaving." ”

"Nope." The messenger said, "I will also go to other nobles or officials to read orders." ”

Watching the messenger leave, Hobert felt the parchment in his hand suddenly become heavy: "Some arrangements are ahead of schedule. ”

He said to Allen, who was on the side, "You go and ask Bishop Simpson to come here." ”

Alan said, "Sir, Bishop Simpson returned to Fenerport City two days ago to report on his duties. ”

Hobert was slightly stunned before he said, "I know."

"Well, you go and prepare, tomorrow I will inspect the realm that the king has newly canonized to me."

"Yes."

Back in the study, Hobert found that Forth and Donna were busy with their own business, and he was about to ask Archibald outside the door to call Shel, when suddenly he looked in the direction of the bedroom.

He thoughtfully pushed open the door of his room, and saw a lady sitting on a chair in the room, with waist-length chestnut hair, a well-proportioned figure, neither fat nor thin.

She wears an Intis-style white shirt with a dark jacket, as well as an over-the-knee gray skirt and a pair of long leather boots.

This handsome lady is holding a magazine with Erlang's legs crossed, leisurely flipping through it.

"Bernadette!" Hobert smiled, "No, it's the Mystery Queen!" ”

He said in his heart: When others look for me, they all go to the study, or directly let the housekeeper report to me, you are better to appear directly in the bedroom? At least you have to knock on the door, right? Otherwise, it's easy to misunderstand!

Bernadette smiled shallowly: "I didn't expect you to become a baron in such a way, and I didn't expect you to get married so soon." ”

"Yes, I'm married, you don't have a chance." Hobert laughed as if he was fighting back.

He clearly remembered that he was told by the little girl that he was immature.

Bernadette put down the magazine: "It seems that the life after marriage has enlightened you." ”

Saying this, her eyes suddenly became a little deeper, and this sense of profundity was fleeting: "I heard that you are a scenic spot here?" Won't you ask me to go around your land? ”

Hobert stretched out his hand: "Please." ”

Archibald at the door was slightly stunned when he saw the two people coming out together, and then the five manservants followed.

Bernadette glanced at the valets as if casually, and finally looked at Archibald's body with great precision.

This made Archibald stunned slightly, and unconsciously slowed down two steps, giving Baron Herbert and the mysterious and powerful lady enough space.

Hobert introduced in a comfortable tone: "This is the lord's palace of the original viscount, but it has been abandoned for a few years, and it took me a lot of effort to complete the restoration work.

"There are eight courtyards in total, and there is the front yard over there......"

Just as they were in the front yard, Donna happened to come back from outside, and saw from a distance Hobert walking with a young lady who was specially dressed, but also had a very good temperament and beauty.

The temperament of this young lady reminded Donna of the princess Ethel she had seen before, and she couldn't tell what it was like, anyway, she looked very powerful at a glance.

"Hobert!" Donna greeted her: "Who is this beautiful guest?" ”

Hobert opens his mouth and suddenly realizes that he doesn't know how to introduce Bernadette, Queen? It's okay to shout in private, but it seems a bit groveling to call in front of others.

Princess? Well, she's not been a princess for many years, and she's been a "big sister" for many years!

Finally, Hobert said, "Bernadette." ”

Donna greeted, "Hello Miss Bernardette, you have such a good temperament!" ”

Bernadette smiled, "You're cute too. ”

Hobert didn't want Donna to get involved, so he waved his hand at her, "Go ahead." ”

Donna pouted, "How do you play all day by yourself?" You know it's forcing me to work! ”

When they parted, Donna suddenly remembered: I had seen Miss Bernadette in Beckland! In that Intis style restaurant! Hobart also stepped forward to talk, hehehe, fortunately, his sister-in-law was not there at the time.

Hobert took Bernadette to the train station at the docks, but the train was still four or five hours away from leaving again.

At this time, the lord's privilege was revealed, and at the sound of Hobert's order, the boiler was quickly boiled, and after waiting for ten minutes, the train started.

It's just that on this train, in addition to the train driver, there are only two people, Hobert and Bernadette.

The two of them sat down in the aristocratic box, but Bernadette felt that the view was not good enough, so Hobert led her to the end of the train, in the small stand.

Hobert began to point out again, but this time the person next to him was not Furth, he didn't hold his waist: "This piece was all reeds before, and you may not imagine what it was like at that time."

"Now the functions of the town have been built here, that is the town government, there is the post office and the telegraph office, and then there is the public security bureau, the tax bureau and the court, and now the staff have officially settled in and started to work."

After more than half a month of finishing construction and renovation, the town's functional organs have begun to operate normally, but the flowers and plants that have just been planted in the courtyards of these buildings have not yet grown, and they look a little bare.

Bernadette listened quietly to Hobert's brief description, quietly looking at the brand-new buildings, and her expression softened.

Woo~

The train began to climb the hill, and gradually you could see the patchwork of the old town area, as well as the new district of Jeffrey Town under construction.

"Hospitals and schools have been largely built." Hobert continued: "The hospital will be operational by next month, and the school will be a little later, probably in April.

"Plazas, commercial areas, and residential areas are also being built as soon as possible, but I estimate that it will take two months to complete the construction of how to find them, and it should be able to catch up with the tourism boom this summer."

Bernadette suddenly asked, "Where did you get so much money?" ”

Regarding the cost of construction, as the leader of the "Dawn of Elements", she is still relatively clear.

Hobert smiled, "It's all up to the family." ”

Bernadette shook her head as she looked at the crowded construction site and said, "If it was really your father's funding, you wouldn't have a sense of pride when you introduced all this." ”

Looking at the territory that was completely different from when he first came, Hobert held the handrail with one hand and said, "Maybe it's because my skin is thicker." ”

Speaking of which, Hobert's relationship with Bernadette is actually not close, but in Hobert's impression, the "mysterious queen" in front of him is more special.

Although it seems that Hobart entertained Bernadette as an old friend, when it comes to issues such as finances that are not suitable for public, Hobart naturally does not tell the truth.

When I came to the mountain, it was an idyllic scene, when the spring planting had already been completed, and the seedlings of the crops had grown to the height of calves!

The fields were full of people, weeding seriously, and many of them were talking loudly while doing farm work, and their tones were clearly filled with joy and hope.

"Farmers here are highly motivated." Bernadette concluded.

"yes, maybe it has something to do with my abolition of the agricultural tax." As he spoke, Hobert lamented the difference between the farmlands on the east and west shores of Full Moon Lake, although there were many people in the farmlands on the west bank, but they all had sad faces, like walking corpses, and they had no enthusiasm for the land and crops under their feet.

Bernadette glanced at Hobert: "A landed aristocrat who took the initiative to abolish the agricultural tax.

"That's right, you don't look down on that little food income at all, you have higher ambitions."

Hobert just smiled.

The train reached its highest point, and Hobert and Bernadette got off the train, and the two of them climbed the highest mountain on foot.

The whole mountain was planted with knee-high grass by Hobert, and in the middle of the thick grass, there was a gravel paved road more than a meter wide, and on both sides of the road were wooden handrails without peeling, separating the grass from the path.

The spring breeze blows, the grass rises and falls like waves, and the air is full of the smell of grass.

At the top of the mountain, there are some wooden benches, and Hobert invites Bernadette to sit on the benches, and the scenery in front of him makes the well-informed "mysterious queen" feel happy and happy.

Full Moon Lake is already far away, and the entire lake is in view, and even half of the mountains of South Coulson can be seen from here.

There is a sparkling lake in the middle of the mountains, which is already pleasing to the eye, and it is also the time when the vegetation grows wildly, and as far as the eye can see, it is all green for the eyes.

On the shores of the lake, there are small towns and villages, and surrounded by mountains, which are magnificent and vibrant, making you feel that you are very close to nature.

The two of them looked at the scenery in front of them and were quiet for a few minutes, and then Hobert suddenly said: "Under such a beautiful scenery, it is very suitable for talking, let's say, what is the matter with you coming to me?" ”

Bernadette leaned back in her chair: "I've heard something about the 'Founder', which reminds me that I asked you to say hello to the 'Founder' before, did you bring it?" ”

Thank you for the reward of [Little Homo Sapiens Guan Tianai Learning].
