Chapter 649: Separation with the nobility
What Hobart didn't expect was that Audrey was going to be promoted again so soon.
She could have waited a little longer to stabilize her state, but the war gave her a lot of urgency.
So after a few days of preparation, Audrey tried to advance to Sequence 5.
In fact, it was mainly Hobart who was helping her prepare, and the extraordinary traits used for promotion were Hobert's inventory from a long time ago, one of which was the seizure of Herwin Lambis, a member of the Senate of the Killing Psychology Alchemy Society.
There is also a remarkable trait of the "Dream Walker", he has forgotten where he captured it, as if it were from Archibald, and as if it was from Adam's island.
Now Hobert doesn't count the extraordinary characteristics below the demigods, and usually throws them on the stone platform when he is sacrificed to the "country of disorder".
Look through it when you need it, anyway, Hobert's spirituality is very sensitive now, even if he doesn't count the extraordinary characteristics, but when needed, his spirituality will definitely give some hints, and then go to the "country of disorder" to rummage.
As for the auxiliary materials needed for promotion, it is easy for Hobert, who has two extraordinary auction houses, to obtain auxiliary materials at this level.
Audrey discovers that the only thing she can do is ask Mr. Fool to help her stay awake in her dreams.
This is the ritual of promotion to Sequence 5.
Still under Hobert's care, Audrey took the potion, and then stood there motionless like a stone sculpture for two or three minutes, as if the soul had returned to the body, with some trembling or changing expressions.
After another two or three minutes, Audrey quickly stabilized her state with "reassurance" and "psychological suggestion": "It's not as difficult as imagined. β
Hobert smiled, "That's because your potions are digested pretty well, and you did a lot of mental hints before taking the potion. β
Relatively speaking, this route is easier to maintain a good condition.
Audrey nodded and shared her promotion with Hobert: "It turns out that the purpose of that ritual is to prevent me from getting lost in dreams. β
"Even if you're a 'Dream Walker' now, be careful when you're in a dream, as you'll be affected if you accidentally jump into the dreams of an extraordinary person who is not in a good state," Hobert reminded. β
If she encounters a very dangerous dream, Audrey's spirit should give her a warning to prevent her from entering such a dream.
I'm afraid it's not very dangerous, but it will affect the dream.
Audrey jots down Hobert's reminder and discusses her abilities with Hobert.
Hobert said his opinion: "The ability of the 'spectator' approach is not suitable for fighting the enemy head-on, it is more suitable to hide, quietly affect the state of the target, and when the time is right, suddenly attack and directly kill the opponent."
"Usually practice 'hypnosis' more, or practice 'psychological suggestion' in dreams, after all, you are a 'dream walker', and your ability may be able to play a greater role in dreams."
Audrey nodded: "I see." β
The two of them discussed the issue of extraordinary abilities for a while, and then went to the restaurant to dine together.
Just like the last time he was promoted, this time it was also when Hobart came to Earl Hall's mansion to supervise Audrey's promotion.
During the meal, everyone first discussed the current battle situation.
At the moment, the situation is relatively optimistic for Rune, and the only thing that worries the parliament and the government is that a large number of large-caliber artillery pieces and a large number of heavy machine guns were used in this battle, resulting in a large number of casualties among front-line soldiers.
None of these weapons have been used on the battlefield for the first time, but they have been used on the battlefields of the colonies before.
The warlords and earth kings of the Southern Continent, who are the opponents of the colonial army with advanced weapons? And the battles between the colonial armies are generally not large-scale, and basically will not form such an artillery group attack as it is now.
For the current casualties, the top brass on both sides are a little confused.
But at the same time, they are doing what they can to put more soldiers and weapons into the battlefield in the hope that the opponent will not be able to hold it first.
The last time there was a large-scale war in the Northern Continent was hundreds of years ago, when the Vorsack Empire and Rune fought over the island of Sunia.
At that time, there was no such powerful artillery, and this war was tantamount to testing the achievements of the industrial revolution and scientific and technological development for more than 100 years.
According to incomplete statistics, the war only lasted about a month, and the casualties on Rune's side alone exceeded 400,000!
As the attacking side, the Vorsack Empire is certainly not much better, but because the two sides still have a lot of war potential, the battle is still very anxious.
Earl Hall estimated that the war might not be fought until November, when the first phase of the battle might come to an end.
At that time, more than a fifth of the soldiers on both sides would have died, and they would have to wait for new recruits from the rear to be sent to the front before launching a new offensive.
Then, of course, we talked about the situation in the southern continent, and the Earl of Hall asked Hobert: "I have heard that the situation in the Duchy of South Bailang is somewhat unstable?" β
"It's confusing, to be exact." Hobert smiled: "The local kings and warlords are unwilling to hand over their territory and dominance, and a civil war may break out in the Duchy of South Bailang. β
Hibbert asked Hobert, "Is this your plan?" β
If it had been before, he would have thought that Hobart was crazy, but after the previous business war with Beckland, he had realized that Hobart thought differently from himself, or most people.
"That's right." Hobert said solemnly: "If a country does not go through a war to eliminate all the original interest groups at the beginning of its establishment, then in the years that follow, the country will most likely have to compromise and fight with each other.
"It doesn't matter if it's profitable, everyone will be very harmonious on the surface, but once the interests are not so rich, in order to compete for interests, there is a chance that a civil war will break out.
"So in my opinion, it is better to have a civil war in the early days of the statehood, so as not to complicate the situation."
Earl Hall commented: "This is a good idea, although it is a little different from some contemporary ideas. β
Hibbert nodded slowly, for based on the education he had received and the experience he had gained from practice, politics seemed to be a process of mutual compromise.
But to Hobert's point, he doesn't seem to have any intention of making any compromise in the Duchy of South Bairan.
Hobert smiled: "I can only say that the situation is different, and the way to solve the problem is not the same." β
This was the end of the conversation, for Earl Hall and Hibbert realized that the strategy of Rune politics was completely different from that of building a state.
After dinner, a few people took a walk in the garden as usual.
Audrey whispered, "Hobert, will there be many deaths in the civil war?" β
"Some extraordinary people may die." Hobert replied: "But ordinary people should not die much, after all, the combat effectiveness of the troops of those earth kings and warlords is indescribable. β
Audrey said "oh": "I didn't expect the world to become so turbulent at the end of this year." β
"When the royal family began to carry out their plans, a series of wars were destined to take place," said Hobert. β
Audrey, of course, knew that what Hobart called "the royal family's plan" was His Majesty's plan to become a god.
But by this time, Audrey had already figured out many questions, and she realized that the world was already full of barbarism and chaos, and at this time, it was just that these barbarism and chaos were put on the surface.
β¦β¦
Late at night, the northernmost part of the island of Sunia.
The cold wind howls here, rolling up the snow on the top of the mountain, and sprinkling it everywhere, as if it is snowing all the time.
On the leeward side of the snow, there was a small stone cave that emitted smoke, but the smoke was instantly dispersed by the strong wind, as if it had never existed.
A dozen meters down the passage of these smoke is a warm underground structure.
At this time, there are two extraordinary beings of the Tamara family, who are baking sea fish that they have caught with their extraordinary abilities during the day.
In the inner room, a sallow-faced Pedi Tamara lay on a stone bed with her eyes closed.
In the previous battle with the "Founder", Pedi's spirit was injured and needed to recuperate for a while.
Suddenly, Pedi opened his eyes and looked outside, where the space suddenly became illusory, and out of the spirit world came a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy who didn't look very good, it was Eris.
The injuries inflicted on him by the Lord of the Storm have not yet healed.
Behind him was Tamara, who looked like a servant.
The family members all have a sallow complexion, and it is not known if Tamara is inherited in the family or if he is uncomfortable with him.
After the two of them appeared, the two family members who grilled the fish were about to get up when they were "imprisoned" in place by Tamara.
Pedi got up from the stone bed, stood at the door of the stone room, stared at the two uninvited guests, and said coldly, "What are you doing here?" β
Tamara asked rhetorically, "Why didn't you join us?" β
Pei Di smiled: "Before this, I didn't expect that in order to fight us, you would even expose the hiding place for so many years to the 'founder'. β
"You should know very well." Tamara said expressionlessly, "It's your lover Althea who exposes our valley!"
"I said a long time ago, that's a slave, just play it, you still have real feelings."
Pedi "heh": "You will never understand, because you have no humanity more than a thousand years ago!" β
Then he said: "It is precisely because you have lost your humanity that in order to fight us, you did not hesitate to let one of the demigods who supported you also stay in the valley.
"Now that you're happy, we're all there to come."
Eris suddenly said, "I'm curious, why don't you want to believe in me?" β
"What else? Because you are an evil god. β
Eris said seriously, "What god is not an evil god?" β
Pedi looked at him coldly: "So none of us want to believe. β
Eris shook her head, disappointed in Pedi.
Tamara continued, "I was too indulgent to you before, and of course, it had something to do with the despicable Seven Gods, and if it weren't for the fact that they killed my father because they needed the extraordinary properties of the 'Hand of Order', the Tamara family would not have been divided.
"Over the years, I have figured out that our split is because there are two sequences within the family2, which gives you the confidence to oppose me.
"If my father was still alive and there was a 'hand of order' in the family, you would never have dared to start a civil war.
"Another reason is that the Abrahams are too strong, these idiots, and they think that Mr. 'Gate' can protect them.
"Well, now that the 'Founder' has helped me wreak havoc on the forces of the division, and I have the extraordinary traits of the clan in my hands, I just need time to re-cultivate a group of clan members.
"From now on, the Tamara family will be a unified family, and I, as the patriarch, can command all the family members, and I will no longer have to go through a shit-like council to fight with you."
Pedi looked at the sallow-faced Tamara, and he suddenly felt a little strange about the person in front of him.
There was silence in the stone chamber for two or three seconds, and Pei Di finally said, "In order to achieve your goal, many of your followers have also died, do you think it is worth it?" β
"Value!" "They stabilized you so that you didn't leave the valley because of a possible leak, which was a necessary sacrifice," Tamara said.
"Of course, part of the reason is that we underestimate the power of the 'founder'."
He paused and said, "Until then, we had speculated that the person of 'The Founder' looked intimidating, but he would have a hard time even dealing with a Sequence 2.
"What I didn't expect was that the battle ended so cleanly, otherwise we would have been able to evacuate some of our people."
Peidi continued: "Then we have discussed many times before, if the 'founder' knows our hiding place, he will definitely organize another extraordinary war as soon as possible, and we will definitely be aware of it."
"But all the while, the 'founders' did not mobilize on a large scale, and this made us lose our vigilance.
But why do you believe so sure that He will come? So I did so much preparation in advance. β
It was Eris who answered him: "Because if he wants to find me, he has only one clue from the Tamara family."
"But what I didn't expect was that the 'Founder' would attack in such a way, and I originally wanted to take the opportunity to pollute his subordinates, and according to the opportunity he gave his subordinates to remove the pollution, I would once again compete with him for the 'Disordered Nation'.
"I didn't expect it to be given a chance at all."
Pedi nodded: "I see." β
Tamara asked, "Do you have any other questions?" β
"Yes, when did you completely abandon your humanity?"
Tamara said with a blank face, "When I had to kill my own father with my own hands. β
Pedi said calmly: "I don't have a problem. β
Tamara said lightly: "You can rest assured that you will die." β
Pei Di smiled: "You don't think that the conversation I just had with you was really trying to talk to you, right?"
"You don't think that since I can see your face clearly, I won't be prepared at all, right?"
Saying this, his figure became illusory: "Goodbye, both." β
Eris smiled as Pedi vanished, but in the next second, Pedi reappeared in front of Eris and Tamara.
Pei Di was slightly stunned, and then asked in great surprise, "You, what did you just do?" β
"Hahaha~" Eris first laughed arrogantly a few times before saying, "You don't think that you fought the 'Founder' twice and were almost not suppressed by his personality, it was really because of your own strength, right?"
"You don't think that as long as you don't believe in me, as long as you don't come into contact with those fogs, you won't be polluted by me, right?"
He commented: "What a naΓ―ve lad. β
"Impossible." Pedi fell into deep self-doubt: "I, how come I don't feel like I'm being polluted?" β
"Of course you can't feel it." Eris continued, "Because your surname is Tamara. β
Pedi seems to understand something: "My bloodline ......"
Eris smiled, "Yes, you have been my believer since you were born.
"Of course, your resistance has some effect, and I am not sure that I will be able to kill you until then.
"But now, thanks to the Creator, you've been hurt by your spirits, and I've had a great opportunity."
He learned Peidi's tone just now: "You don't think that I listened to you just now because your conversation was interesting, right?" β
As he spoke, Eris pulled out a thin-necked glass bottle, the mist inside glowing with a rainbow of colors.
Pyris became so majestic in front of Pedi that he unconsciously fell to one knee.
He fought hard, but the current surrender seemed to be buried in the blood a long time ago, and the surrender to Eris at this time was like eating and sleeping common sense.
Tamara stepped forward, a black knife in his hand, and just gestured at Pedi, who was powerless, and Pedi's head fell from his neck.
But Pedi wasn't dead yet, and his head was still staring at Tamara as he rolled to the ground.
Tamara reached out and patted Pedi on the shoulder, and Pedi's body collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As a "balancer", you can bring everything around you back into balance, but you can also throw your goals off balance.
At this time, Pedi's body lost its "balance", so it quickly collapsed, but Pedi was not dead, he just lost his normal human form.
Under the influence of Tamara's abilities, the extraordinary properties in Pedi's body began to precipitate.
Pedi has been resisting, but Eris has been suppressing his bloodline with the mist in his hand, and Pedi's resistance has little effect.
After ten minutes, the extraordinary properties in Pedy's body were completely precipitated, Eris reached out to pick up the extraordinary properties, and let out a long sigh of relief: "Finally got it, I originally planned to send you to William I in a few days, but now I can prevent you from dying in Beckland due to accidents." β
At this time, Pedi's body was still wriggling, and it would be a long time before his spirit and spirit body died.
During this time, there is a good chance that He will become an evil spirit.
Eris put away the extraordinary trait: "Unfortunately, it's not a good time to get promoted. β
Tamara didn't speak, silently killing the two members of the family who had been grilling fish and had opposed him.
β¦β¦
At the beginning of November, Hobert spent a few more days in the Duchy of South Bairan, mainly to see how chaotic it had been.
Although all the princes and generals in the duchy were placed under house arrest in Angelou, Hobart did not use thunderbolts to co-opt their armies and dissolve their bureaucracy.
In the eyes of the earth king and the generals, the duke's behavior was very stupid!
This gave their heirs and subordinates enough space to mobilize their forces and join forces with each other to resist the Duke's rule.
Hobert did this on purpose, of course, and he was in need of a mess right now, to digest the potion completely.
Although there was a large-scale war in the Northern Continent, Hobart found that the chaos caused by the war did not allow his potions to be digested to any extent.
On the contrary, it was the chaos caused by the sneak attack on St. Milon and the chaos caused by the sales call that allowed his potions to be digested to a certain extent.
After the bombing of Beckland, people who had seen the phone installed one in their homes so they could go to work with peace of mind.
As soon as there is any trouble, call home and ask about the situation at home.
In addition, after the start of the war, the faster information was disseminated, the better, and direct communication in words was much faster than the process of sending telegrams, and it was also very accurate, and it was possible to confirm it repeatedly.
All of a sudden, the stores selling phones were crowded, and after the bombing of Beckland, the clouds of fear did not dissipate in their hearts, and people became very irritable.
When many people waited in line for a day and couldn't buy a phone, they beat up the salesperson on the phone in a moment of anger, and some people tried to set fires, but they were stopped.
At the same time, it is also very easy to clash with each other in line.
Although the chaos is small, it allows Hobart to constantly feel the feedback of the chaos.
Hobart also understood that only the chaos related to himself, or the chaos caused by himself, could make the potion digestible.
At the same time, because he usually goes crazy, and the audience is either a demigod or an angel, the effect is very good, and Hobart is currently in good shape, and he is only a little short of being able to completely digest the potion.
It's just that what disappointed Hobart was that after the heirs of the earth kings and warlords united, they were obviously not weak in the Southern Continent, but they still sent envoys to negotiate with Hobert.
This made Hobart realize that it is difficult for people who are used to kneeling to stand up again.
So he simply cut off the ear of the envoy and told the messenger to go back and tell the heirs that they were already traitors to the Duchy of South Bailang, and that the army of the Duchy would wipe out their entire family!
Hobert sighed, if these people continue to coax, then they can only take the initiative.
But in that case, the level of chaos in the principality will not be very serious, and it may not be possible to completely digest the potion.
During these few days in the Duchy of South Bailang, Hobart also asked Georgina to visit the army of the Duchy of South Bailang from a distance, and "drove away" the battle of the colonial army of the Fusak Empire.
Georgina was very satisfied with the speed of the principality's reaction, and in the city of Angelu, she negotiated a deal with Hobert to buy the blueprints of the teleportation array.
In fact, there is nothing to talk about, everything that should have been talked about before has been discussed, and now it is just a matter of reconfirmation.
Originally, Hobert had planned to stay in the Duchy of South Bailang for a few days, but Dophys used the teleportation array to report that Count Vincent had sent someone to invite Hobart to the ball three times.
The first two times Dophes refused on the grounds that the Count was on a business trip, and the third invitation, it was Carl, the youngest son of Count Vincent, who sent the invitation and told Domphis that it was many nobles from Beckland who jointly invited Duke Hobert to the ball.
And these nobles have one thing in common, their children are either middle and low-level officials in the current Hobart domain, or the managers of the "Earl's Light", all of which are the families of the children of the nobles recruited by Hobart before.
Dophes immediately realized that the men might have formed a loose alliance, so he reported the news to Hobert.
Hobert had only recruited so many batches of noble children before, and he would not recruit them when the shortage of manpower had passed, because he was afraid that these people would join together.
Now it seems that Horott's concerns were prescient at the time, but fortunately they were not numerous, and if there were too many of them, they would probably have formed interest groups.
After all, this is what the nobles of Beckland are best at.
After thinking about it for a while, Hobart decided to go to the ball, to hear the appeal of the noble children, and he remembered a small thing.
Viscount Glerint had twice asked him to help him get back one of the family's rings, but unfortunately Hobert didn't find the right opportunity, and this ball was a good time.
So when Hobert returned to Beckland, he first asked Viscount Gleilynt for a few hairs, and then went to Count Vincent's mansion for a ball.
When Hobart disembarked, many earls and viscounts were at the door to greet him, and the barons and lords were not even qualified to greet him.
Hobert greeted them politely, and the group entered the ballroom together.
At this time, Hobert discovered that the children of the nobles recruited several times involved seventy or eighty nobles, large and small.
It took more than half an hour to greet them one by one and say a few words of greeting.
It was only then that Vincent announced the official start of the ball, and the earl was very fond of good food, and the banquet he held was also a feast of food.
It's just that this time Hobert didn't have time to enjoy it, and spent it all in talking to the nobles.
The main people who talked to Hobart were Count Vincent, Count Minis, and other counts, while other nobles gathered around them and listened to their conversations.
Half a year ago, they had no idea that the less promising heirs who came to Hobart to find their own way would provide them with a very good investment environment.
After a long small talk, Count Vincent, who had blond hair, said, "Lord Duke, first of all, I would like to thank you for taking care of the children in the past period.
"We heard from them something about the Duchy of South Bailang, and in return we were willing to help the Duchy through the difficult times.
"Although the army of the Kingdom of Rune has withdrawn from there, it does not mean that the Kingdom of Rune has completely lost its influence there.
"We have more or less interests with the kings and warlords, and we can help you persuade them to stop the civil strife and renew their allegiance to you."
Hobert immediately understood that they wanted to use the process of persuading those earth kings and warlords to make those agents of the Southern Continent who were originally agents of the Kingdom of Rune become their agents.
So he smiled and said, "Three days ago, I just met with the emissaries of the earth kings and warlords, and announced to them that they are already traitors to the Duchy of South Bailang. β
The faces of several counts were a little surprised, and after a second or two of silence, Count Minis said, "Lord Duke, it's easy to provoke them with such words, right?" β
Hobert was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he was not on the same channel as these nobles.
What he meant by what he just said was: Don't worry about it, I will "persuade" them with guns, and when they are all corpses, the civil strife will stop.
But in the eyes of these aristocrats, things seemed to be getting worse.
Hobert remembered the surprised look on his father and son's face when they heard of their plan.
Beccrad's long history of peace and pampering has accustomed them to solving problems in the safest way possible.
So Hobart added: "It seems to me that this civil war must be fought!" β
He added: "Sometimes it's not a good thing to be safe, especially in an emerging country, you have to look radical.
"When the country was first founded, it was like an old man who couldn't walk, then the country would not have any vitality."
The surrounding nobles were stunned, and the news they received from their respective channels all believed that Hobert had no chance of victory in this civil war.
After all, Hobart had only taken over Longtail Island for more than half a year, and he didn't have time to recruit and train a large number of soldiers.
And because of the high secrecy about the power of the extraordinary, even Georgina does not know how much extraordinary power Hobert has, and can only guess by relying on the intelligence in the extraordinary battle of South Coulson.
The channels of these nobles are not very clear about Hobert's extraordinary strength, and many people believe that Hobert has become arrogant because of his victory in the battle against the Gas Society.
Therefore, they misjudged the situation and thought that the southern continent would still achieve a great victory like in Beckland.
However, in the concept of the nobles, the Southern Continent is very barbaric, and there is no solid system and moral system like Beckland, and if the Southern Continent still uses the way of Beckland to solve problems, it is easy to make things uncontrollable.
So they smelled a business opportunity and thought it was the perfect time to invest in the Duchy of South Bailang.
But Hobert's reaction far exceeded their expectations.
At this time, a viscount couldn't help but remind Hobert: "Mr. Duke, if the civil war breaks out completely, it may be necessary to sacrifice more interests so that the king and the general can continue to serve us. β
Hobert handed the glass to the waiter, "I'm sorry, I'm going to the bathroom." β
His impatience at the right time seemed to disdain the debate.
Led by the attendants, Hobart left the ballroom, and the nobles first glanced at each other, then "buzzed" and began to ramble their opinions.
When Hobart came to the bathroom, he said, "I didn't expect that one day, I would also take advantage of Mr. Fool's "Kingdom of God."
In Count Vincent's mansion, there will definitely be extraordinary people to protect them, and even Vincent himself is very likely to be a Sequence 5, but for the current Hoberts, a little "tampering" with the surrounding spirituality can make them completely unable to discover their actions.
Next, Hobert took out a few hairs of Viscount Glerint and "correlated".
This immediately linked him to the location of the ring, after all, Hobert's current operating range of various abilities had reached six or seven kilometers.
He spread his spirituality, and instead of feeling the signs of life around the ring, it was as if there was a remarkable trap.
Hobart used his ability to "utilize" to easily disable that extraordinary trap temporarily.
Almost at the same time, Hobert twisted the ring, along with the container containing it, into his own hand through his ability to "distort" space.
It was a small wooden box of solid wood, and there was no extraordinary protection.
So Hobert messed up the space around the lock, easily letting the copper lock pass through the nose and take the lock off.
Open the box, and inside are a variety of gemstone rings.
Apparently, Count Vincent didn't know about the ring inherited by Viscount Gleilint's family, so he didn't take it seriously.
Hobert took the jeweled ring that Viscount Glerint had spoken of, infused it with spirituality, and recited the incantation in the Guversak: "Summer in Wintershire." β
The surroundings of the gemstone ring suddenly became illusory, and a small illusory space appeared.
It's a small space magic, designed to be very stealthy by taking advantage of the extraordinary pathways of gems and "doors", and it's no wonder Vincent hasn't discovered it.
Hobert took out a few notebooks from the small space, then put the ring back in, closed the wooden box, and used the chaos of the space again to return the small lock to its place.
Eventually, Hobert avoided the extraordinary trap again and sent the box back.
After finishing all the action, Hobert waved his hand slightly, "twisting" the air around the toilet switch, and let the air push the switch.
Hula~
Hobert smiled, and after becoming Sequence 3, he was getting lazier and lazier.
When Hobert finished washing his hands and took the servant's towel to wipe his hands, the door of the bathroom suddenly opened, and Karl, the youngest son of Count Vincent, came in from outside: "Mr. Lord." β
At this time, Carl's skin was rough and dark, and compared with more than a year ago, he was much more stable and mature.
As he walked out, Hobart casually asked, "How is your work lately?" β
"The town I am responsible for has the highest grain output in the township this quarter." Karl followed behind and smiled.
Hobert glanced at Carl, "Isn't that good?" β
"It's okay, it's okay." Karl said modestly: "We are all grateful for the platform you have provided us. β
Originally, they were all marginal figures in the family and were not taken seriously.
But in Hobart's territory, they find a way to realize their self-worth.
At this time, Karl had already begun a new round of investigation of him because of his good political performance, preparing to make him a county magistrate of the Duchy of South Bailang.
And another member of the "Justice League", Corati, was also not valued in the family, and even made her very insecure for a while.
But during an assessment conducted by Donna, she took a fancy to Corati's patience and carefulness, so she was given a chance.
Corati cherished that opportunity, and as a result, she was given a crucial promotion.
At present, Corati is already the head of personnel in Nagaomi Island City, and he is currently the highest official among the children of the aristocracy.
At this time, Carl said: "I'm sorry, my father asked me some questions about Longtail Island before, and I really wanted them to know about the great changes that happened on Longtail Island, so I answered some unclassified questions.
"Just two days ago, my father suddenly asked me to come back, and it was only when I learned that Corati and the others had also been asked a lot of questions about Longtail Island, that I realized something was wrong.
"But at that time, I didn't expect that my father and they were actually preparing to take advantage of this opportunity to infiltrate the Duchy of Bailang in the south."
With that, the two men stopped outside the ballroom.
Karl said helplessly: "They don't realize where their mistakes are? I still want to solve the problem the way I did in Beckland, please don't be surprised, I will persuade my father after the ball. β
"It's okay." Hobert smiled, "It's time to try the food of Count Vincent's Court." β
Originally, he thought that it was the sons of the nobles who invited Count Vincent and others to fight for higher official positions for them.
At present, it is just that these nobles are "opportunistic", and the children of nobles like Carl are not in the same league as their parents.
Although they were very closely connected, they did not huddle together as Hobart had previously suspected.
This made Hobart very satisfied, and it meant that the transformation of these noble children was very successful!
Back in the ballroom, Count Vincent and the others wanted to discuss with Hobart about containing the civil war in the Duchy of South Bairan, but Hobart went there to enjoy a meal on the grounds that he was hungry.
When he had finished his meal and complimented the chef of Count Vincent's court, he took his leave.
Although this is a bit rude, he is a duke of Rune after all, and he wants to leave, and no one has the right to stop him.
In the ballroom, the nobles once again discussed how to let Hobart know the seriousness of the civil unrest, and they called their children in the corner of the ballroom to ask them for some information.
That's when they realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere, or that there was something wrong with the way their children looked at them.
Originally, these children who were not taken seriously were very docile when they saw them, and even after Hobart's subordinates had a half-official position, they were still very respectful.
But now, they see disdain in the faces of these children.
At this time, Karl said: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is one thing you have mistaken, and we are confident that we will win this civil war. β
A nobleman sarcastically said: "War is not a matter of faith. β
Karl didn't say much, just said, "Let's wait and see." β
With that, he also left the ballroom, and the other noble children left one after another.
