In addition to the three angels, there are also four saints.

They are Renette, who has two heads in her hands, and Renette, who has two heads on her neck, and Jax, whom Hobert just met yesterday.

Hobert can see that Miss Courier is not in a very good state, and she has no angel-level strength, she can only be stronger than Jakes!

There is also a strange "mystic", hovering on the edge of the battlefield, ready to pick up the black jade with the whisper of the true creator.

In mid-air, there was also a "sailor" who was hiding in the clouds, and he was staring at the "secret mage", ready to strike at any moment.

And Crane, who prayed for help, fled the battlefield in embarrassment with a black notebook on his head.

Hobart guessed that the notebook in his hand should be "Grossell's Travels", and even in the real vision, Hobert could not see the specific state of Klein.

As for the "sailor" in the clouds, he should be the real king of the Rorsted Islands region, "Aquaman" Ian Courtman.

The "Mystic", Hobert guessed to be someone from the Aurora Society, and he remembered that there would be a "Mystic Mage" in the Aurora.

Almost as soon as he saw the battlefield clearly, Hobart had already distinguished between friend and foe, and at this time, Siea's hand was grasping Klein in mid-air.

Hobart realizes that the time has come to make a move!

He picked up the Black Emperor card in one hand, and Ling manipulated the "1-105" from the "whisperer" with the other, projecting the surging power into the real world.

……

Raging Sea, on the hill outside the city of Byam.

Renette's two heads opened their mouths at the same time, and two translucent ice arrows shot at Jax, and the space along the ice arrows seemed to freeze.

At this time, Jakes, who was already injured and was obviously a little smaller, hurriedly dodged, but the place where he landed after dodging became dark almost at the same time, and the plants and animals on the ground immediately died and rotted in an instant.

Jax let himself enter the state of "resentful spirit" and did not dare to land, but he felt that his spirit was frantically flowing to the rotten ground, he quickly entered the spirit world, and came out from not far away, and the momentum of the spirit flowing to the corrupted ground stopped.

In this battle, even if Jax devoured the puppet given by the "Mother Tree of Desire", he was still no match for Renette, after all, the power that the "Mother Tree of Desire" could project was extremely limited, and Renette's personality was also there.

Renette was about to launch a new offensive when suddenly his spirituality felt something, and he looked into the air with Jax, and they saw the sky being torn apart by the condensed black power.

At the same time, the "secret mage" who was always watching the "Sea King" Ion still did not dare to pick up the jade with the words of the true creator so openly.

Suddenly, his spirituality was also felt, and he looked at the position that was torn apart by the black power in midair, and a solid figure appeared there.

The appearance of this powerful existence made the "Sea King" Ion in the dark clouds immediately feel a huge sense of oppression, and he rushed out of the dark clouds and flew back to the ground.

I don't know why Kleist and the fog who fought together, also stopped fighting, and looked at the solid figure in the air together.

The figure sat on a throne made of sharp swords, wearing an armor that glowed with black divine light, and a crown that also emitted divine light, but unfortunately he couldn't see the other party's face clearly, and could only see the other party's eyes flashing with black light!

A huge sense of oppression came to the face, and the full majesty shook everyone's hearts!

The evil and crazy aura of the original "gods" Siea and Kleist, as well as the death aura of the mist, were instantly suppressed, and a strong sense of majesty permeated the entire mountain.

Several of the Sages had the urge to kneel, and they seemed to support this solid figure from the bottom of their hearts, unwilling to disobey any of his orders.

The only sequence 5 Klein present, with weak legs, requires great perseverance to keep going.

If he hadn't had Grossell's Travels above his head, he would have been on his knees by now.

Even Hobert in mid-air immediately found that after he became a demigod, the image of the "founder" was further condensed, and with the blessing of the Black Emperor card, he felt that he seemed to be more like a true god.

Even under the gaze of the angels, they can only feel that the state of this god does not seem to be very good, but in their eyes, at least they have the strength of the "King of Angels"!

Before that, it was easy to see in the angel's eyes that something was not quite right with the state of the "Creator", at least Adam was aware of it almost immediately.

So later, Hobert barely let the "founder" appear in front of the angels, and before that, in the palace of Al Hanbra, it was only a projection of the corpse of the ancient god of death.

However, at present, it only seems that there is such a person, and some of the abilities of the "founder" have the level of sequence 2, and most of the abilities cannot even reach such a level.

The "State of Disorder" strengthens abilities such as "distortion", "chaos", and "amplification", and abilities such as "charm" and "arrogance" are not greatly strengthened.

But among the angels and saints present, no one could see through Hobert's reality, and they were stunned one by one: where did this god come from, or when did it appear?

Unless the true god comes, Hobert is a god with the strength of the "King of Angels" in the eyes of the angels at this time! The angels are seen to be a true God!

Once Hobart was in place, he first "twisted" Klein's position with a wave of his hand, allowing him to appear on the edge of the cliff.

Then the "1-105" in his hand turned into a greatsword that glowed blue, and at the same time, Hobart injected it with a surging "power of order".

The greatsword immediately turned black and emitted a divine black light.

Hobert, who was sitting on the Iron Throne, leaned forward, and the black greatsword slashed at Sea's arm.

Under the coercion of the "founder", Siea did not dare to touch it hard, and withdrew his arm into the air.

So the battle between the angels and the saints took place on the ground, and the battle between the "founders" and the "gods" began in the air.

The last time the "Founder" and the "Divine Sin" met, the "Creator" was still a completely empty shelf, and could only use the rules of the extraordinary world to prevent the "Divine Sin" from coming.

Now different, Hobart has the ability to compete with S'ea in a few strokes, and at first it looks as if the "Founder" still has the upper hand.

Hobert took advantage of the victory to pursue and stabbed S'ea with a sword.

The skeletons on S'ea's arms opened their mouths at the same time, and they let out a silent curse at the figure on the throne!

The curse was too vicious to be carried in the real world, as if space had been distorted, like a hurricane blowing towards the figure on the Iron Throne.

Hobert held the greatsword tree in front of him, and a solid, translucent black barrier appeared in front of him, and after the vicious curse hit the barrier, it was completely blocked.

"Chaos!" Hobart immediately counterattacked, causing the area around the arm to immediately become chaotic, which was a double "chaos" of reality and concept, even the oxygen molecules in it became very disordered, and the angel's body would disintegrate in such an environment.

S'ea's arms trembled violently, and the spiky tongues on it fell off, suddenly growing larger and wider, wrapping around his arms and blocking the momentum of Chaos from breaking up his entire arm.

When the state of "chaos" ended, those tongues quickly rotted away and were blown away by the wind before they could reach the ground.

Then S'ea's long arms stretched out, leaking black-gray as if they were covered with carrion.

He reached out to the "founder", and Hobart felt as if he had been disconnected from the spirit world, which made his power rapidly weaken, and it was as if he had become a superfluous part of this world, the whole world, even if the air around him was against him, hoping that he would disappear from this world.

"Related!" Hobart strengthens his connection to the "State of Disorder", which allows him to become a loophole in the world, rather than a superfluous part of the world, even if the world does not recognize the existence of the "Founder".

In fact, when the battle has reached here, Hobert has lost all his advantages except for the advantage in aura, after all, his "King of Angels" personality is hard to support, and if he fights again, he may be exposed.

Fortunately, Si'a's newly outstretched shoulder returned to the spirit realm, and not only that, but his arm was quickly withdrawn.

Hobert breathed a sigh of relief, and saw a huge underwater creature with sixteen fins on its back swimming on the shore on the other side of the cliff, and it turned out that Siea's target had left, and there was no point in him staying here.

Hobert stretched out his hand for a "chaos" that covered up the tracks of the giant underwater creature, both realistic and occult.

So they couldn't find any trace of Klein.

At the same time, Hobert discovers that Kleist has already abandoned his opponent and forced Renette back, and has entered the spirit world with Jax!

Hobart was also about to leave, when suddenly he seemed to think of something: "Chaos! ”

The "chaos" of the angel level can make the corresponding spiritual space fall into a state of "chaos", and sure enough, Jax returned to the real world from the spiritual world with a confused face: why did he just leave the protection of Master Kleist and return to the battlefield by himself?

Hobert picked up his greatsword and swept it towards Jakes: I can't beat the big one, can't I beat the small one?

Before the sword arrived, the huge sense of oppression had already arrived, and Jax was shocked by the surging pressure, and his movements became very slow.

Seeing that the black light from the greatsword was about to sweep him, a cane made of bones appeared, helping Jax block the blow.

Kleist reappears in the real world, and he makes a look at Jakes and tells him to go first.

By this time, Renette had already left, and there was no one to stop Jakes.

But at this time, a monster with bull head and antlers appeared on the left side of the black-armored figure in mid-air, and a huge sea snake appeared on the right.

Hobert unleashed his sword again and smashed it at Kleist, while "Bull Demon King" and "Covering the Sea" outflanked left and right and rushed towards Jakes.

Jax was about to enter the spirit world, but the space in front of him was "distorted" by the "Great Sage of the Sea", and at the same time, the "Bull Demon King" opened his mouth and spat out a dull word: "Filth!" ”

Jax enters the state of "resentful spirit", but his body is still covered in a layer of black slime.

And when the "Sea King" Ion came here just now, he saved a lot of effort from the dark clouds that appeared in the sky.

Click~

A thick bolt of lightning struck Jakes who was already injured, or under the influence of "filth", the key was Jax in the state of "resentment".

Lightning's attack bonus to the "Resentful Spirit" made Jax obviously stunned in place, and then the "Silent Disciple", whose figure had faded a lot, jumped into the dew dozens of meters away, trying to escape by means of mirror jumping.

The cooperation between the "Bull Demon King" and the "Great Sage of the Sea" is quite tacit, the "Great Sage of the Sea" has just attacked with "Thunder and Lightning", and the "Bull Demon King" takes a step forward: "Twisted!" ”

Jax's idea of escaping was suddenly "distorted" and turned into a charge towards the two Sages.

Although he quickly got rid of the "twisted" state, he returned to the side of the "Bull Demon King".

Jax immediately let out a scream towards the "Bull Demon King", the attack from the spirit body can indeed blow the "Bull Demon King" backwards, but it will not have too much impact on the "Bull Demon King" who does not have a spirit body.

Moreover, the "Great Sage of the Sea" filled in time and opened its bloody mouth, and the trees around Jakes that had become withered were uprooted and sucked into his mouth.

Jax immediately stabilized his body to prevent being inhaled, and at this time he saw the monster with bull head and antlers rushing towards him, and lowered his head to push himself with his antlers.

He allowed himself to enter the state of resentment again, and according to common sense, the attack of the "Bull Demon King" would not hurt him.

Who knew that when the "Bull Demon King" was about to reach Jax, its golden antlers were suddenly covered with a layer of black light.

Boom~

Jax flew out and spat blood in mid-air, and he felt like his lungs were almost pushed out!

The attack of the "Bull Demon King" made him unable to maintain his posture any longer, and he was sucked into his stomach by the "Great Sage of the Sea".

Then the "Bull Demon King" jumped onto the huge body of the "Great Sage of the Sea", and the "Great Sage of the Sea" jumped into the air, and the two of them rode away in this way.

Kleist, who had been dragged by Hobart, gritted his teeth, but quickly entered the spirit world and left here.

The "Rose School" currently has a total of five "Silent Disciples", and now two of them have been killed by the "Founder".

(In the previous battle in the Southern Continent, one was killed by the Black Dog Spirit Beast.) ）

Hobart quickly regained his strength, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt a gaze from Byam's direction looking this way.

But the owner of the sight seemed to realize that Hobert had noticed him, and immediately stopped the wait-and-see process.

Hobert didn't think much about it, returned to the real world, and after a little preparation, used the "Faceling Necklace" to navigate and enter the spirit world to find the "Great Sage of the Sea" and the "Bull Demon King".

At this time, they were already waiting on the island not very far from Baiam, and although the "Sea King" Ion felt that the "Great Sage of the Sea" was unusual, the "Founder" gave him a huge shock, and he did not dare to catch up!

Hobert put the "Great Sage of the Sea" and the "Bull Demon King" on standby, and with a wave of his hand, he parted the belly of the "Great Sage of the Sea", and Jax rolled out of it.

Hobert was about to give the other party a "mess", only to find that Jax had turned into a puppet made of tree bark, with a cracked and rough body, and no human appearance at all.

Because the puppet had no signs of life, Hobert thought that the other party had escaped by means of a stand-in or something, but a closer look turned out that Jakes had lost control when he was about to die in pain and turned into a puppet-like monster.

But he soon died in the "cage of order" of the "Great Sage Covering the Sea", and finally became like this.

At this time, his extraordinary characteristics were already condensing to his teeth, and Hobert waited patiently for a few minutes, and the "Bull Demon King" and "The Great Sage of the Sea" disappeared one after another due to lack of strength.

Hobart watched his surroundings with great vigilance, and set up an altar until Jax's extraordinary properties were all condensed on his teeth and turned into a silver-white puppet.

The puppet's white eyes moved, and he was about to look at Hobert, but fortunately, Hobert's eyes were quick: "Distorted!" ”

The white puppet's eyes looked away, and Hobert quickly sacrificed the puppet to the "Land of Disorder".

After returning to the island, Hobert made the space around Jax's corpse "chaotic", and took advantage of the "chaos" to "stuff" the corpse into the ground.

Hobert cleaned up the traces of the altar again before leaving with "travel".

……

The bottom of the Raging Sea.

Crane was relieved to see that no enemy was chasing him.

Thinking back to the pressure displayed by the "Creator", he realized: the Creator is much stronger than before, as if he is infinitely close to the true God!

Thinking of this, he showed a helpless smile: "Justice" and "Hanged Man" They both thought that I was an ally with the "Founder", they probably didn't expect that the ally of such a powerful "Founder" was just a Sequence 5!

Then Klein thought: How can we thank the "founder" for the rescue?

Although he had his eyes closed the whole time just now, he still felt it very clearly when the "Founder" helped him resist the attack of the angels of the "Rose School" and sent him to the edge of the cliff.

After thinking about it for a while, maybe only the "Poseidon Scepter" and the "Grim Reaper" cards can interest the "Creator", but he is reluctant to use the former, and the latter may be from the "Creator", and then send it back?

The point is that when you summon yourself, the "Grim Reaper" card is very useful! He was also a little reluctant.

Then Klein thought of the practice of "hanging man upside down" at yesterday's meeting, and could consider writing to Hobart and asking him what he needed?

At this time, Klein suddenly found that there were blood stains on "Grossell's Travels", and he was slightly stunned, when was he injured?

But when he checked it, there were no wounds on his body.

Suddenly, it occurred to Klein that he had used "Grossell's Travels" to block the attack of the "Wraith", and that "Travelogue" fell not far from the "Wraith" in the subsequent battle.

The "Resentful Spirit" was once hit by the "fatal attack" of the "Death Knell", and the blood was sprinkled all around, could it be that the blood of the "Resentful Spirit" dripped onto the "Travelogue", right?

The more Klein thought about it, the more likely it became: So that the "resentful spirit" is now in "Travelogue"?

After divining that his next actions would not be in any danger, he quickly dripped his blood on the skin of "Travelogue" and entered the "story" to find the "resentful spirit".

……

Outside the city of Byam.

Ion "Aquaman" looked at the nearly completely withered woods and the half-cut mountains in deep thought.

The sliced mountain was accidentally shaved off with the great sword of the true god-like being during the final battle with the angels of the "Rose School".

The bull-headed antler monster that appeared later reminded "Aquaman" Ion of the previous information about the "founder".

At his level, the information about the "founder" is more detailed and advanced.

According to limited information, the "Founder" is an evil god who is not in a very good state, but after seeing the "Founder" today, "Aquaman" Ion does not think so, and the "Founder" is obviously in a good state, and there is no sense of evil or madness at all.

Could it be that the "founder" has used some methods to improve his state in the recent past?

Ion shook his head, unsure of his guess, he was ready to go to the "Storm Abyss" in person to report to the Pope about today's events.

While heading to the "Storm Abyss", he couldn't help but speculate: should today's battle be a continuation of the battle and contradiction between the "founder" and the "Rose School"? The only Sequence 5 present was likely to be a subordinate of the "Founder", who received information about the "Rose School" and eventually attracted the enemy to the war.

But a new question arises, was the "founder" who had previously conducted the "broadcast" throughout Baiam? It stands to reason that He has such a motive and ability, but the power of "broadcasting" and the power of "Creator" feel completely different!

At this time, "Aquaman" Ion suddenly recalled the huge sea snake, and he actually detected the breath of Kavituva on the sea serpent, but Ion could be sure that Cavituva was dead.

Then there is only the seal that could have been formed by Kavituva!

Ion then thought: So, the extraordinary properties of Kavituis have been picked up by the subordinates of the "Founder"? Last night's "broadcast" was supposed to take advantage of the extraordinary properties of Kavituva! Then everything makes sense.

……

Beckland, 62 Queen's Road.

Unbeknownst to Hobert, there was a large, dark cauldron flying towards him.

He said to the noble children in the conference room: "Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, friends who are willing to participate in the assessment will gather here, and I will take you to the fiefdom."

"I repeat, unless you quit early, you will be gone for a month, be mentally prepared!"

After sending off these noble children, Hobert couldn't wait to enter his study, locked the door, and immediately entered the "country of disorder".

Sitting on the "Iron Throne", Hobert held the pure white puppet that had just been sacrificed in his hand.

In the real world, the puppet will actively look at Hobert, but in the "Land of Disorder", as the owner of essentia, the puppet's eyes are looking away, and he does not dare to look directly at him.

The moment he grabbed the puppet in his hand, Hobart already knew its abilities and negative effects.

First of all, this puppet has a certain living characteristic, and will actively look at other creatures, and any creature that has looked at it will either be haunted by a vicious curse, and its body will immediately mutate, or its head will be in a different place, or it will explode on the spot, and it will constantly encounter powerful spiritual creatures attacking. Either they will become believers in the "Mother Tree of Desire" and sincerely believe in Him and serve Him.

Even if it obscures the puppet's view with a normal object, it is useless, because its vision can penetrate the spirit realm and reach the target's eyes. If it's covered with an object, you don't know where it's looking.

Hobert immediately thought of two ways to seal this property, either by placing a lot of insects around the puppet and making the puppet constantly look at the insects and kill those insects. Or find a way to seal its eyes.

For Hobert, the second method was relatively simple, he took a "Order Crystal", turned it into the shape of an eyepatch, and put it on the puppet's eyes, completing the initial sealing of the seal.

As for the seal's ability, it is: "Can cause the target to turn into an animal for a certain period of time, during which time the target will lose speech and some extraordinary abilities; It is possible to establish a close spiritual connection with the target, and create a dagger that cuts itself, and the target will be injured, but the wielder will not be physically harmed; The flesh and soul of the Extraordinary can be obtained by devouring the 'Prisoner', or the puppet full of curses made in advance can be shortly strengthened, the stronger the target of devouring, the stronger and longer the strengthening, the spirit creature will become extremely friendly to the bearer, the wielder will become proficient in making cursed puppets, the spirit world and the mirror world can be entered, and the wielder will not be possessed. ”

Hobart nodded slowly: Overall, the ability of this seal is still good, and it is also because Jakes died not long after losing control, so the ability is not so weird.

What satisfies Hobert the most is that he can use the "Source of Curse" at level 3 of Sequence 3, and although the "Source of Curse" at this level looks like exchanging injuries for injuries, it has only hurt the enemy, but not himself.

In addition, the ability to devour puppets made by the same sequence seems to be a special ability of Jax, and Hobert does not remember that the Extraordinary of the "Prisoner" path has a similar ability.

The negative effect is: "The moment the wielder gets the seal, he will be cursed, and the curse for the first three minutes is relatively mild, except for falling, getting sick, or having bad luck." After three minutes, the curse will cause the wielder to suffer more serious injuries, and after five minutes, the curse will put the wielder's life in danger; After a certain number of uses, the wielder will hallucinate, hear the puppet speak, and see it communicate with itself as if it were a normal person. Eventually, the wielder will unconsciously lift the seal on its eyes and make eye contact with it; The wielder uses the ability to devour the puppet or devour the 'prisoner' path to the extraordinary, and the 'Mother Tree of Desire' locks and affects the wielder for a certain period of time. ”

Hobert smiled bitterly: In other words, the ability to become stronger by devouring can't be used at all! After all, who can stand the influence of the "Mother Tree of Desire"!

As for the other negative effects, they don't seem to be very strong, but they are very pitiful, because if you fall in battle or are unlucky, you can easily die.

As for the second negative effect, Hobert seriously doubted that Emlyn had fallen under a similar curse to like the dolls so much.

Thinking of this, Hobert pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, summoned a "force of order", resealed the puppet, and finally got three minutes of safe use.

After naming the seal "1-108", Hobert looked back at the skull of the black-horned demon and the stomach pouch with the remnants of the sea serpent's spirit.

The "Bull Demon King" can still be used four times, and the "Great Sage of the Sea" can be used eight times.

If you can use them to get three or four more Level 1 seals, you'll make a lot of money!

Returning to the real world from the "Land of Disorder", Hobert had just taken a few sips of tea when Todd came to report that several factories had been found that were being rented or sold.

So Hobert was led by Todd to the factory area, to observe the field, and to take a fancy to a factory located on Gear Avenue.

Without any workers, the factory looks very huge, and the supporting facilities are relatively complete, although it is very simple, but there are dormitory buildings and canteens.

At this time, there was no concept of an industrial park, and in the entire factory area, this was also a relatively large kind of factory.

The rent was £5,000 for half a year and £9,000 for a year, and the landlord was only willing to rent out and was not very willing to sell, so if he wanted to buy it, he offered a high price of £150,000.

Hobart is now rich, but it hurts him to take out 150,000 pounds all of a sudden.

So on the return carriage, Hobert decided to rent it.

Todd suggested that you can rent for half a year first, which can save the upfront cost, and there is another point he did not say, if the benefit is not good, it can also reduce the loss.

Hobart nodded slowly: "You have a point, 5,000 pounds does not sound like a lot of money, it will reduce the financial pressure of our early investment, and there are many benefits." So you go and rent it for two years, and discuss it with the other party, and it is best to reduce the rent to 15,000 pounds for two years! Or lower! ”

Todd was stunned: I didn't explain it just now? Or did I hear it wrong?

……

In the blink of an eye, it was evening, and after dinner, Hobert called Dennis to go for a walk in the backyard.

At this time, the backyard of the Earl's Court had been replanted with a lot of vegetation, the pond had been repaired, and some ornamental fish had been stocked in it, and some aquatic plants had been planted.

Under the illumination of gas street lamps, the unique mist of Beckland makes the surrounding scene somewhat hazy.

Walking along the path in the woods, Hobart said to Dennis, "I want to tell you something very important. ”

Dennis followed half a step behind, listening intently.

"Your father went to Viscount Teutonic to complete one of my missions, and now his mission has been completed and he has returned home." Hobert smiled and said, "I'll give you five days off, go back and rest." ”

Dennis was stunned for a few seconds, his mood was happy for a while, and he missed his father for a while, and it was very complicated for a while.

After he came to his senses, he hurriedly followed Hobert: "Sir, then my father has long been loyal to you?" ”

"Yes." Hobert continued unhurriedly: "Don't blame your father, his work at that time needed to be kept secret and he couldn't tell anyone. ”

Dennis nodded, "I know, I don't blame him." ”

"Go back and clean up, and come back to the territory with me tomorrow morning!"

……

At eight o'clock on Wednesday morning, Hobert took Dennis and 35 noble children to the Lord's House in Jeffrey City using the "Traveler's Gate".

This wonderful journey amazes the children of the nobles who have come into contact with the extraordinary, and makes the children of the nobility who have never been in contact with the extraordinary seem to be in a dream.

They had thought that it would take a few days to reach the Earl's fiefdom, but they did not expect to arrive in a blink of an eye.

Colwin had been waiting for him for a long time, and he had a spell that Hobert had purchased in advance and could master the Fenerport language within a month.

Such charms are very cheap, and if you order them in bulk from the "Iceberg Admiral", you will only need 6 silver lisos.

In addition, Hobert also purchased a batch of charms that would permanently use Rune, and planned to use these charms for Conrad, Corwyn and others.

In the future, Hobert's development will focus on the kingdom of Rune, so his main subordinates must be able to speak Rune and be proficient in the Rune script.

The arrival of these more than 30 noble children greatly alleviated the shortage of low-level cadres in the territory.

Now the entire Jeffrey Territory, as long as anyone who can read and write simply, has been requisitioned to the town government, and even one of the cooks and many male servants of the lord's mansion have been transferred to work in the town government.

At the same time, a number of evening schools have been set up for them to work and further train them at the same time.

However, because the territory is expanding too quickly, there is still a shortage of manpower.

And except for the previous Jeffrey Town, the illiteracy rate in other places is even higher, especially in the West Bank, under the rule of the previous demons, except for the children of the nobles, no one can read and write!

Therefore, Hobert brought these noble children, on the one hand, it was indeed for their assessment, and on the other hand, it was also to relieve the pressure on people's hands.

After arranging this group of people, Colwin attended the "knightly meeting" convened by the lord in the afternoon, and the participants were all knights canonized by the lord.

The main purpose of this meeting was to discuss some issues at this stage, as well as Hobart's assignment of future development tasks.

One of Conrad's reports caught Hobert's attention: on both sides of Full Moon Lake, there was still a large amount of arable land in a state of idleness.

The reason for this phenomenon is the gradual decline in the population of the South Coulson area in recent decades.

For example, in the demon-ruled West Bank, the population has decreased by more than 40 percent in 50 years, and the situation on the East Bank is a little better, but the population has also decreased by about 10 percent.

Hobert asked, "What is the approximate population gap?" ”

"At the moment, there are about 30,000 people." Conrad said: "If the lost ground is recovered, the final gap may reach about 40,000." ”

Hobert suddenly had the bold idea to recruit from Beckland's East End to fill the gap!

His governing philosophy favored the creation of wealth rather than its plunder.

The reason why it is said to be "biased" is because of Hobert's primitive accumulation, which almost came from the plundering of the enemy.

But he knew that such plundering would not last long, so investing the proceeds of plunder and creating more wealth was the right way.

However, no matter what investment, it needs to be operated by manpower, and in this day and age, population is very important.

As long as there is a population, there will be inexhaustible wealth, and your own strength will have a surging and endless follow-up force.

And in this era of overcapacity, the population is also in a state of overcapacity for the countries of the North Continent, which has created the slums of Beckland.

In fact, this view of the countries of the northern continent is not completely correct, it is caused by the uneven distribution of population, and it is not a real overpopulation.

"I'm going to fill this gap from Beckland." The more Hobert thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible: "I can only do a simple training on the additional population on the Beckland side.

"They should only be able to speak simple Fenerport, and they don't have anything to offer, so they need to be prepared to provide them with food and tools for a while."

Conrad nodded: "It's not a big problem!" ”

Then he asked, "Do you want to move the local population together?" ”

Hobert pondered for a moment and shook his head, "Let them mess up!" At most, this will lead to some contradictions in life, but if you are directly separated, it is easy to have serious confrontations. ”

In the second half of the meeting, they focused on another issue: how the territory would develop in the future.

Most of the construction around Jeffrey City has been completed, and tourism and the opening of waterways are already generating some of the city's revenue, although the main source of income is still from auction houses.

Now Jeffrey City is basically self-financing while ensuring that the project continues.

However, a lot of money has already been spent on the construction of industrial zones, the transformation and relief of new territories, etc.

At present, there are two ways to develop, one is to wait for Jeffrey City to have income, and after about three months, then develop other territories.

The other is to continue to invest, and at the same time as Jeffrey City develops, it also develops new territories.

Most people support the previous development model, because the current population of the territory is seriously insufficient, and even if some of the population can be replenished, it will take time, so even if there is investment, there is a lack of sufficient manpower for construction.

Hobert pondered for a moment: "The industrial area can't be stopped!" The development of other areas should continue as manpower permits. ”

Before Hobert arrived, he had made preparations to give Philip 30,000 gold for the sale of the extraordinary properties of the ancient drakemon, as well as 20,000 pounds in cash and gold.

The money was earned at the Tarot meeting in the last two months, as well as the money previously sold to Leonard for the extraordinary properties of the "criminal", as well as the gold paid by the Balk family.

In this way, Jeffrey received another 54,000 gold liso, and he was very abundant in terms of money.

Then in addition to continuing to build the industrial zone, it is necessary to build two bridges, as well as a new wharf, harden the road surface between the towns, and so on.

Anyway, there's a lot to do!

As for the products to be produced in the industrial zone, Hobert has also thought about the production of various daily necessities, one is to alleviate the shortage of industrial products in the South Coulson area, everything needs to be purchased elsewhere.

Second, because there are no technical barriers to these products, the machine is basically not difficult to buy, and a few technicians can be hired with a high salary.

And the labor requirements are not high, and the group of fanatical believers who are now building industrial parks will be able to do it.

The meeting ended after Hobert finally set the tone.

After a short break, Hobert went to the Special Operations Department to meet the deep-eyed Captain Dunn.

After Captain Dunn's hair thickened, Hobart was a little uncomfortable.

During this time, Captain Dunn has led the team to the West Bank twice for "internships", once capturing a "cold-blooded" who sneaked into the territory again, and once capturing a "secret prayer" who came to inquire about the news of the Aurora Society.

Captain Dunn's wealth of experience was an eye-opener for the other members!

"A branch must be established in the West Bank!" Captain Dunn said as soon as he saw Hobert.
