For Forth's request, Hobert was prepared: "I know, I know, you must want to take the 'Fishman Armstick' to the auction house on Longtail Island that is being raised, right?" After all, this amazing item is a good place to be auctioned at sea. ”

Furth was stunned: "I ......"

I don't have that in mind!

Hobert then said solemnly: "Although you have to make some preparations for the new auction house, you also have to consider the price, and if the price is too high, don't buy it for the time being." ”

Furth suddenly didn't know how to explain: "That's not, 'justice' is not ......"

"I know, it was 'Justice' who raised the price first, but didn't I also help you snatch the 'Fishman Sleeve Stud' in the end." Hobart said seriously: "Don't do such stupid things in the future." ”

Forthth suddenly had the urge to scratch his head: Didn't Hobert stop because he didn't want to see me and "Justice" fight over that magical object? He is...... Did he think I was going to get the "Fishman Armsticks" in order to raise a lot for a new auction house?

It makes sense to think about it this way, as one of the key construction projects in Hobert's plan to develop the port of eastern Longtail Island was to build an extraordinary auction house there.

And now, after a few months of construction, the eastern port city is about to open to the outside world.

Magical items like the "Fish-Man Sleeve Studs" are sure to fetch a good price at the auction house on Longtail Island.

While Furth was considering the matter, Hobert suddenly leaned over and kissed Forthth.

Firth's cheeks flushed a little, and she was about to dodge, when Hobert leaned into her ear and said, "The 'World' is going to hunt Amun's clone, I have to discuss this matter with him, and I won't eat dinner here." ”

Furth was slightly stunned and looked at Hobert in a coat: "Guy, be careful." ”

The matter of "fish-man sleeve nails" is no longer her main concern.

Hobert smiled: "This time I will only help him contact him, and I will not participate in specific actions." ”

After putting on his coat, Hobert pinched Folth's cheek: "I'm leaving, remember to keep an eye on Conrad and them, and make sure they prepare accordingly." ”

Furth nodded, "I know." ”

Watching Hobart leave, she suddenly felt a little lost.

Looking out the window, a damp breeze blew in, and it was raining outside.

"What a good time to take a nap." Furth sighed.

She lay down again, and suddenly remembered that she hadn't taken a nap with Hobart in a long time.

……

Hobert returned to Beckland, prayed to the "Founder" in his study, and then took out 1,100 pounds in cash and offered it to Mr. Fool.

Crane's two magical items were finally sold for 2,700 pounds, but in the previous two intelligence transactions, Crane had accumulated a debt of 1,600 pounds, so Hobart only needed to pay 1,100 pounds.

At the same time as the sacrifice, Hobert reported to the "Fool": "Dear Mr. Fool, please tell the 'world' that the 'Founder' is willing to intervene if he needs help.

"Also, tell him that it is best to pray to the 'Founder' at the beginning of the battle, so that it is not too late to make the corresponding prayer after the battle has begun."

A few minutes later, Hobart got a reply from "The World": "Thank you for the promise of the 'Founders'. ”

Having solved the matter, Hobert sat in his chair and recalled the conflict that broke out between Audrey and Firth at the Tarot meeting.

For Hobert, the conflict between Audrey and Forthth made him break out in a cold sweat at the time, but later he realized that this conflict was equivalent to an effective communication between two people, and it was also a self-reconciliation.

The most fearful thing is not conflict, but indifference even when we meet.

After this conflict, Hobart thinks that they feel each other's bottom line, and they will respect each other's bottom line in the future, which is good.

Of course, Hobert also knew that they were all smart people, and he couldn't fool them with the reasons he found.

But they all need a reason, even if it's absurd.

Some words simply can't be said too clearly!

Thinking of this, a smile crept up on Hobert's face, and after this incident, the Shura field basically passed.

Taking a deep breath, Hobert looked at his pocket watch, and while he still had some time, he entered the "Land of Disorder" and found the star representing Furth.

Hobert, sitting on the Iron Throne, spreads spiritually and sees Forth yawning and chatting with Hugh.

Hobert smiled helplessly, and could tell that Foirth wanted to take a nap, but she couldn't sleep with Hugh on the sidelines.

Because Hugh had not prayed to the "founder", he could only contact her through Firth, but fortunately, in recent times, Hugh knew that Firth was in a bad mood and knew that the current Longtail Island was still a little dangerous, so he stayed by Firth's side.

Hobart turned his spirit at Hugh, and then said in the supreme voice of the "founder": "Find these two! ”

At the same time, the corresponding information was "stuffed" into Hugh's brain.

……

South Coulson, in the Green Manor.

Hugh was describing to Forthth her shopping trip to the West Bank orchard this afternoon, when suddenly, a majestic figure appeared in her mind: "Find these two people!" ”

Before he could see clearly, the majestic figure disappeared, and then two pieces of information appeared in Hugh's mind.

The information is detailed, with portraits, their former residences, and descriptions of their strength.

Hugh was slightly surprised: "I, I received a task from the 'Founder'. ”

Furth was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "What task?" Do I need to keep it secret? ”

Hugh swallowed: "The 'founder' didn't say it. ”

"Then there is no need to keep it a secret."

"The 'Founder' asked me to find two people." Hugh found that the two pieces of information seemed to have become a part of his memory, and as soon as he "recalled" them, those two pieces of information could reappear in his mind: "Those were two members of the Aurora Society. ”

Firth nodded, "That's right, the 'Founders' regard many evil organizations as enemies. ”

Hugh added: "They're all in Beckland. ”

"Then you can go back to Beckland."

Hugh was a little worried: "But your safety ......"

"Don't worry." Furth smiled, "Last week, another batch of official extraordinaries were trained, and the extraordinary power here is even more abundant.

"Besides, I'm going to be promoted to Sequence 6 next month, so I don't need protection."

……

Beckland.

Herbert gave Hugh a mission, and then rode in a carriage to the Earl Hall's mansion.

At last week's ball, he had made an appointment with Earl Hall for dinner tonight.

After chatting with Earl Hall for a while, Hobart came to the studio and saw Audrey painting: "Let me see what it is." ”

Audrey, who wore a relatively loose dress, smiled and put down her paintbrush and showed Hobert the unfinished painting, which was a painting of Hobart's estate in the suburbs.

Although it was not yet finished, Hobert noticed that the colors she used were mostly warm tones, and it seemed that her previous visit to the manor had left her with good memories.

Audrey covered the painting and said, "I want that 'Fishman Sleeve Stud'!" ”

"What do you want that low-level thing for?" Hobert said, "I've sold it to a pirate, and I've brought you something better!" ”

When he bought the fish-man armnail for 1,500 pounds, he didn't intend to give it to Folth, nor to Audrey, nor did he intend to sell it, and its fate was destined to be lost in the "land of disorder".

Because there was no one else in the studio, Audrey unceremoniously pursed her lips and looked very cute.

"You don't believe me?" Hobart smiled.

He took out two wooden boxes from two different pockets: "See for yourself." ”

Audrey couldn't help but laugh: "It's not that I don't believe this." ”

Hobert seemed to understand something: "I see, you must want to go swimming with me with the 'Fishman Armnails', right?" ”

He looked Audrey up and down, "I'm going to get the 'Fish-Man Sleeve Spike' back from the pirates!" ”

Audrey was a little embarrassed to look at, and she quickly grabbed Hobert: "I didn't mean that either!" ”

Hobert clapped his hands: "I really know this time, I must not have seen you for a few days, you miss me, right?"

"Not yet, then you must want to kiss......"

Eventually, Hobart picked up Audrey and spun around, and the topic finally ended with "giggles" of laughter.

Since it wasn't dinner time yet, the two of them simply came to the lab.

Hobert glanced at the "hypnotist's" potion recipe and helped her concoct the potion.

"Do you have time tomorrow?" Hobart asked as he weighed the auxiliary materials and added them to the beaker in turn.

"I told my father that I was going to visit the power plant with you tomorrow." Audrey watched Hobert's skillful technique and smiled slightly.

"Go to the power plant at noon, and then go to the 'Earl's Light' in the afternoon." After adding the auxiliary materials, Hobert began to add 60 ml of the brain fluid of the black hunting monitor lizard, as well as the fruit of a psychedelic bell tree.

Soon, a "hypnotist" potion was concocted.

Hobert took a look at it, and saw that there was no problem, so he said, "Strive to work in the 'Earl's Light' this week." ”

He estimated that a large amount of investment would be required in the Southern Continent next week.

Audrey took a deep breath, "I'll wait until I'm done with the potion." ”

"Don't be so nervous." Hobart smiled, "You're fine. ”

Audrey picked up the potion: "What should you do if I show signs of losing control?" ”

Hobert glanced at Susie who followed up: "I will 'give' this golden retriever the loss of control on your body." ”

Susie, who had just entered the door, was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked out.

Audrey chuckled, "You scared Susie away." ”

Hobert looked a little strange: "It won't understand me, will it?" ”

Audrey hurriedly waved her hand: "It's just a coincidence!" ”

"Alright, let's take the potion." Hobert did not continue the topic.

With Hobart there, Audrey was indeed a lot more relieved, and after "appeasing" herself again, she took the potion and drank it all.

After drinking the potion, Audrey's eyes immediately became dazed, a layer of illusory scales appeared on her body, and her eyes gradually turned into pale golden vertical pupils.

Hobert always observes Audrey's mental state, and if there is a risk of getting out of control, he will immediately help Audrey "give" most of the mental pressure.

However, even if the promotion is completed in this way, it only avoids the promotion process getting out of control, and Audrey's state will still not be very good after the promotion.

Therefore, if you can not interfere in the promotion process, it is better not to interfere.

Audrey's body began to swell, and the dress, which looked loose, was propped up and at risk of bursting.

Her eyes were sharp, but they were still within her reach.

After about three or four minutes, after some struggle, Audrey's body gradually began to recover, and finally became normal.

Hobert felt a little pity, because Audrey's clothes were made of good material and were not broken.

After a minute or two, the phantom scales on Audrey's body disappeared, and her eyes gradually recovered, and finally she breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so dangerous, I almost couldn't find my consciousness just now." ”

Hobert smiled, "Promotion Sequence 6 is generally quite dangerous, so use meditation to restrain your spirituality." ”

He noticed that Audrey's eyes were darker than before, and they looked like deep pools of water, which were very charming.

After waiting for another seven or eight minutes, Audrey opened her eyes refreshed: "Okay! ”

Hobart opened his arms: "The reward is a big hug for you!" ”

Audrey smiled and said, "I don't want it!" ”

"Okay, okay." Hobert took out the two wooden boxes he had just taken out again: "This is a reward prepared for you."

"After you become a 'hypnotist', you have the ability to control such as 'hypnosis', so the two gifts I prepared for you are mainly extraordinary items that are biased towards killing targets quickly.

"I named this ring the 'Light Priest Ring', and it can use most of the abilities of the 'Ritual of Light', especially the 'Divine Light', and targets below Sequence 6 can be burned into charcoal with a single hit.

"Even Sequence 6 and Sequence 5 enemies can cause the target to burn in flames with a single blow and go into a trance for 2 to 5 seconds. Against undead creatures or dark creatures, attack power is at least doubled. ”

This magical item is Philip I of the Fenerport Kingdom, who obtained a "Order Crystal" from Hobert and gave it to Hobert as a return gift.

Hobert pointed to another wooden box: "This bracelet has most of the abilities of the 'Guardian', such as the 'Sword of Dawn' and the 'Armor of Dawn', and can also use the 'Dawn Barrier' to protect yourself or your companions.

"This is one sequence higher than the seal of the 'Warrior' path that I explained to Mr. Star before, and I was about to give it to you at that time, so I didn't mention it to Mr. Star at all."

In fact, he forgot the existence of this magical item, which was given to Hobert by Christine, and after becoming a demigod, these magical items have been placed in the "Land of Disorder".

A few days ago, when Hobert counted his seals, he turned them out.

They are easy to carry and have good abilities, so they were packed in a wooden box and given to Audrey.

After being resealed by Hobart, the negative effect of magical items at this level is not large, and it is already a scarce item.

Audrey, who is no longer a novice in the extraordinary world, certainly knows that these two magical items are worth at least 25,000 pounds!

Audrey, after thanking her, happily accepted the two gifts.

Hobert watched Audrey play with the two magical items for a while before he added, "I have a copy of the extraordinary properties of the 'Dream Walker' here, but I don't have a potion formula. ”

Because the extraordinary properties of this "Dream Walker" have long been shattered by him, there is no way to "correlate" the potion formula from the extraordinary characteristics.

Audrey was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I didn't expect that I just promoted to Sequence 6, so I don't have to worry about the main material." ”

She thought for a moment before saying, "There should be a recipe in the Psychological Alchemy Society, but it's definitely not that easy to obtain. ”

Hobert waved his hand in a dashing manner: "Leave it to me!" Whatever they want, or what they want to achieve, leave it to me! ”

Audrey exclaimed, "It's nice to have a lover! ”

"Boyfriend, I should say." Hobert opened his arms again: "Do you want to reward me?" ”

Audrey pursed her lips and smiled, but did not speak.

Hobert, of course, understood what she meant, took two steps forward, and gave Audrey a bear hug.

After just a few seconds of hugging, Audrey shook her head: "Don't blow in my ear." ”

Hobert leaned on Audrey's shoulder: "I have to breathe, or I'll suffocate." ”

Audrey struggled to get out of Hobert's arms and gave her a somewhat unhappy look: "Badass! ”

Her somewhat angry look seemed very cute to Hobert, and he wanted to pinch her cheek, but Audrey avoided her.

At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside, and the two of them immediately regained their serious expressions.

The door to the laboratory was opened, and it turned out to be a servant who had come to tell them to eat in the dining room.

Hobert stretched his arms: "What a dinner to look forward to!" ”

As the two of them went to the restaurant, Audrey asked, "What is there to look forward to?" ”

"It's certainly exciting to be able to talk to Earl Hall about the current situation in Beckland."

Audrey was stunned, this was a little different from the answer she expected: "What else?" ”

Hobert smiled: "I can also talk to Mr. Hibbert about Beckland's politics, of course, it's exciting." ”

Audrey looked at Hobert: "Is that all?" ”

"And having dinner with the most beautiful Miss Audrey," Hobert smiled, "and that's the most exciting." ”

Audrey snorted, as if to say: You know each other.

While laughing, the two came to the restaurant.

The moment they entered the restaurant, both men put away their smiles.

After taking his seat, Earl Hall served the first dish to Hobart, and Hobart thanked Earl Hall's family for their hospitality and feast, and after the simple pre-dinner courtesy, the dinner was considered to begin.

At the long dining table, the distance between Hobart and Earl Hall was at least five or six meters.

It wasn't that he was deliberately placed far away, but that each of them was about two meters apart, and Hobert didn't feel like a family eating at all.

Hobert complained in his heart: Every meal of the nobles has a feeling of eating?

At this time, Hibbert took a sip of aperitif and suddenly asked, "Hobert, I have always wondered why you have been giving such high salaries and benefits to the workers of 'Earl's Light'.

"I've heard that the salary of an ordinary worker is almost the same as that of a clerk."

The clerk in this era was still a very good job, the work content was not very tiring, and he still received an upper-middle salary in the factory.

Earl Hall also asked curiously, "Is this a charity?" ”

"No," Hobert said after taking a bite of the baked snail, "I'm making the middle class." ”

"Manufacturing the middle class?" Audrey asked curiously.

The others were also very curious about the concept, and put down their dishes and looked at Hobert.

Hobert also put down the dishes and gently wiped his mouth with a lace napkin before saying, "The inhabitants of Beckland today are roughly divided into three levels: the aristocracy and the rich, the middle class, and the poor. ”

He further explained: "Consumption is a very important part of the economy if you want to promote economic activity.

"The aristocracy and the rich were rich, but they were too small to afford the city's main daily expenses.

"Although the number of poor people is large, they have no money, so it is not difficult to conclude that the main daily consumption of Beckland is supported by the middle class.

"But the problem is that many of the policies and regulations are not very friendly to the middle class, and when we look at the homeless people on the streets of Beckland, there are not many poor people, most of them are middle-class!

"It even seems to me that the middle class may be more likely to go bankrupt than the poor."

Earl Hall and Audrey and the others listened attentively, and even if they were the more open-minded part of the aristocracy, Hobart's views were very attractive to them.

"It's a very dangerous sign." Hobert earnestly: "If the number of middle class were to decline on a large scale, it would cause a phenomenon of non-circulation of wealth, and most of the factories and companies of all kinds would be greatly affected.

"So in my opinion, one of the more important purposes of opening factories is to create a part of the middle class and make this society look more dynamic."

Earl Hall picked up the utensils again and said, "This idea is very special and original. ”

He smiled, "Beckland needs a new idea like this. ”

Hobert spread his hands: "I think every gentleman in Beckland will realize the importance of the middle class." ”

But it is unknown whether it will protect the middle class and continue to create the middle class.

Along the lines of this topic, the economic situation of Beckland was discussed, for which Hobert did not hesitate to praise himself.

It is indeed the most prosperous city in the world, with cheap raw materials plundered from the colonies, very cheap labor, and the only thing missing is a market that will never be filled.

Everyone was very happy at this meal, and Hobart used some of the knowledge in his memory to show his cutting-edge thoughts and "knowledge", and the Earl Hall family was very satisfied with Hobart.

At nine o'clock in the evening, after drinking tea and chatting for a while, Hobart got up to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Hobert glanced at Audrey, her face was full of smiles, and her family's recognition of her lover should be the happiest thing for her.

Back at the Earl's Court, Hobert was just about to take a break when prayers rang out from the "Land of Disorder".

He stretched, locked the door a little helplessly, and entered the "Land of Disorder".

Sitting on the "Iron Throne", Hobert saw that it was the stars of Lawrence of the Balk family that were expanding.

He probably guessed the purpose of the other party's prayer, spread the spirit, and sure enough, he saw Lawrence and the three family members behind him.

Last week, Hobart promised to give the Balk family the extraordinary trait of a "fallen earl".
