Hobert, who had initially passed the most dangerous stage of promotion, was trying to restrain his spirituality while looking at the four archangels outside through the barrier of the "Order Crystal" and the "Spirit Wall" built before.

There is a sense of déjà vu when four old men come to watch while taking a shower, and Hobert is not afraid to look at it.

This promotion, his consciousness was very clear, but his body was piled up on the ground like a mess of mud.

After reining in his spirituality a little, Hobart realized that he needed to use spirituality to "pinch" his body again.

At this time, Tamara, who looked like a wax figure, and Trensost, who had brass-haired hair, were both close to the barrier, and the two were studying the black barrier in front of them from different directions.

William I, who looked quite imposing, and Philip I, who was very amiable, watched quietly from a distance, from two different directions.

Hobert began to concentrate on "pinching" his body, and he had a new understanding of the "Prince of Killing".

Although his physical body has also undergone a qualitative change after being promoted to Sequence 2 "Duke of Entropy", he still has not left the category of living beings.

After being promoted to the "Prince of the Order", Hobert will be able to further manipulate many things in terms of order, and the natural order has basically no way to affect him.

It can also be said that at this time, he has basically departed from the category of "living beings", and most of the time he is no longer bound by the constraints of the universe and nature on living things.

And then Hobert's body loses all order and becomes a puddle of mud.

The process of "pinching" oneself again with spirituality is equivalent to distinguishing oneself from the creatures in the natural world, and completing the process of "killing the order" first.

Soon, Hobert first pinched out the internal organs, and then the head, torso, and limbs gradually took shape.

With a lift of his hand, he "tampered" with the air in front of him into crystals, forming a full-length mirror.

Hobert took a careful photo, and from the appearance, it was exactly the same as before the promotion.

Then He sat down cross-legged and began to gather his spirit in earnest.

This promotion, the spirit is surging, and it needs to be summarized and restrained by Him little by little.

As the minutes ticked by, about two minutes or so, Tamara shook her head and quickly left the place.

Of the four archangels, He is the most dangerous, and if Hobert had basically controlled his spirit, he would have risked killing Him.

Half a minute or so later, Trensost, who had also not found a way to open the black barrier, also left.

He also knew that Hobert would try to kill him whenever he had the chance.

At this time, if Hobert made a move, William I and Philip I, who were watching and wary of each other, must give up the confrontation for the time being and start immediately.

After another half minute or so, Hobart had basically reined in his spirits, took a deep breath, and smiled at William I and Philip I through the barrier of the Order Crystal.

William I squeezed out a smile: "Congratulations on your successful promotion, I will send someone to send a gift later." ”

With that, He lifted his feet and stepped out of here.

Philip I smiled and said, "I'll talk to you when you have time." ”

And with that, He also departed.

On this uninhabited island, only Hobert remains.

He did not immediately remove the barrier formed by the "Order Crystal", but first used his spirit to feel the power he gained after promotion.

First of all, Hobert finally has an ability that can quickly defeat the enemy and quickly "break the defense": the Sword of Killing Order!

The advantage of the "lawyer" approach has always been that it is unexpected, that it has the "best assist", and that it has a unique means of defense.

But all the way to the angels, they lack the means to quickly harm the target of the same level.

Now that he had this kind of means, he could use abstract order to form a weapon in the form of a long sword, and of course, in other shapes.

This weapon can ignore almost any pattern, and more specifically, it can ignore the target's defenses and damage the opponent.

Even the armor of the "warrior" can pierce!

Of course, this is not to say that Hobert is invincible, the Dusk Greatsword in the hands of the "Warrior" of the Sequence 1 level, and the long sword of the "Conqueror" with rust and blood stains are all weapons of the same level, and they can resist the "Sword of the Killing Order".

But Hobart was already satisfied, after all, before that, let alone the "Conqueror", even if he encountered a longsword forged by the extraordinary ability of the "Weather Warlock", he would have to use "twist" or "tamper" to circumvent it.

Now it's not necessary, I have a similar weapon myself.

Other abilities have been strengthened, such as "tampering", which can already tamper with mathematics for a short period of time.

Just like what Hobart did when he first got the extraordinary trait of Prince Killing, he tampered with the number of his arms from 2 to 4, so he had four arms.

However, it is not yet possible to tamper from "1" or other numbers to "0", that is, from having to none, or from nothing to being, at least until uniqueness is accommodated.

Not only mathematics, but also the laws of physics, for example, before that, if Hobart wanted to trap the enemy with ice, he needed to "tamper" with the freezing point, "twist" the temperature, and so on.

Now there is no need to be so troublesome, you can directly "twist" the temperature of a large area to minus 100 degrees, and you can directly reach that temperature without using the method of continuous accumulation.

It can also "twist" solids into liquids or gases, and in short, what previously required a constant accumulation of methods can now be achieved in an instant.

This is a change in the laws of nature, and after becoming the "Prince of Murder", Hobert can also do more manipulation of the abstract human social order.

For example, "exploiting" the status of the royal family of Rune in the eyes of the masses for a certain period of time, so that all the people of Rune think that Hobart is their king.

Or let the people turn their backs on their king for a certain period of time.

In the end, Hobart even found that he was able to do some manipulation of the laws of extraordinary properties to a certain extent.

For example, the opponent's extraordinary abilities are thrown into "chaos", and the target is clearly trying to attack the enemy, but as soon as he raises his hand, he throws a flower at the enemy.

This made Hobert sigh: surprise is the true nature of a "lawyer".

Immediately afterward, Hobert realized that part of his "Prince of Order" potion had been digested in advance.

Using the spiritual perception, Hobert suddenly realized: this was the benefit of killing George III before.

After all, at that time, Hobert was still the duke of the Kingdom of Rune, and he killed the king as a duke, which was very in line with the true nature of the "Black Emperor" approach.

Along this line of thought, Hobert began to think about how to digest most of the remaining potions as quickly as possible, and in this period of epoch transition, only by accommodating uniqueness, Hobert could be a little relieved.

The first thing that occurred to him was that if the Duchy of South Bairan became independent, it would be able to digest a large part of the potion!

It's just that this point has to be strategic, after all, he can only control the world situation at present, but he can't deviate from the pattern of the world.

In particular, the development of the Principality of South Bailang should be strategic.

However, there are other ways to digest potions, such as Hobart being able to promote Eastern architectural styles and Eastern ideologies.

He hadn't implemented these policies in the Duchy of South Bailang before, because he realized that these things could not only prepare for the promotion of the "Black Emperor", but also digest the magic potion of the "Prince of the Order"!

In addition, Hobert realizes that with his current ability, he can already play the role of "Prince of the Order" by "tampering" with and "distorting" the state of nature or the climate!

In this regard, Hobert intends to make a try first.

At this time, he had completely restrained his spirituality and removed the barrier formed by the "Order Crystal", and Hobert quickly came to the beach by "distorting" the space.

Then He put a hand into the water and said, "Ice Age!" ”

Woo~

A cold wind suddenly blew on the surface of the sea, and the sea water as far as the eye could see immediately turned into white ice!

The previous sea breeze became bitterly cold, and a layer of white mist formed on the ice as the temperature dropped instantly.

On the sea in the distance, many cargo ships and passenger ships were frozen on the sea, and they thought they were dreaming, the sea was blue and the sun was shining, why did the sea suddenly freeze?

At the same time, many seabirds on the surface of the sea swooped down to hunt as usual, only to crash into the ice hard!

Hobert pulled out his palm from the ice, and sure enough, he felt that his spirit had become lively and his state was more stable.

He froze the waters of the tropics, and that was "killing the order"!

Then He stood on the beach, observing the power and duration of His power.

The cold temperature lasted for two or three minutes before the warm winds from the tropics came again, but even in the tropics, it takes a lot of time to melt such a large area of ice.

In other words, the emergence of large areas of ice is a process of "killing order", but the consequences of this process are completely in accordance with the laws of nature.

In order to get an idea of his abilities, Hobert never left, standing on the beach and watching the ice melt little by little.

The next day, the ice on the surface of the sea thinned so that the ship could break through the ice and move on.

But then the ships were hit by bad weather, not because Hobart was experimenting with extraordinary abilities, but because of the local effects of the melting of a large amount of ice.

It was not until the third day that the ice at sea completely melted, but the impact on the local climate could take a week or even a dozen days to completely subside.

This made Hobert sigh: Fortunately, the gods are currently in the astral plane, and if they have been in the real world, there should be miracles in this world every day.

Returning to Angelou's palace, Hobert first travels to the "Land of Disorder" to see how his appearance in the "Land of Disorder" changes.

As soon as he sat on the "Iron Throne", the "Bell of Order" in the bell hall suddenly rang on its own, and Hobert immediately felt that he could further use the power of the "Bell of Order".

If you encounter an illusion formed under the influence of the "Declining King" at this time, there is no need to use the "Spiritual Barrier" or a few hits of the "Bell of Order" to dispel it directly!

At the same time, he realized that in the future process of Crane's promotion to the Fool, if he struck the bell on the side, it would greatly help Crane stabilize his state.

And if he accommodates the uniqueness at that time and rings the bell again, Klein should be in a very good state to face the next attack of Amon after being promoted.

But this promotion, Hobert did not gain new abilities again.

This is also expected, after all, when he was promoted to the "Duke of Entropy", Hobert had completely controlled the power of the "Disordered Nation".

In other words, before accommodating this essentia, the "blessing" of Hobart by the "State of Disorder" reached its limit in sequence 2.

After this promotion, Hobert's ability to control the "Bell of Order" has increased again.

For this, Hobert is already very content, after all, the effect brought by the "Bell of Order" is not comparable to any ability.

Back in the real world, Hobert took a deep breath and was about to send someone to invite Medici, when the palace butler knocked on the door outside and said, "Grand Duke, is it convenient to enter?" ”

Since Hobert had told everyone not to bother him three days earlier, the guards outside hadn't let anyone in.

The butler, who had just arrived at work, was afraid that something would happen to the Grand Duke in the room, so he reported the matter to Furth and Audrey.

Foirth opened a "door" in the wall, and after making sure that Hobert had something to do, he told everyone not to disturb the Grand Duke.

But yesterday an envoy from King Rune came to report the matter to the Grand Duke as soon as possible.

The butler shouted that, in fact, he was asking if Archduke Hobert had returned.

Hobert said coldly, "Come in." ”

Then the guard opened the door and let the butler in.

The butler was about to report on the king's envoy, but he was suddenly stunned, this profession requires the ability to read words and colors, and he felt that the duke in front of him seemed to be different from three days ago, but he couldn't tell what was the difference.

However, the butler quickly came to his senses and reported the matter of the king's envoy.

Hobart asked the butler to invite the envoy to meet him in the office.

The butler was slightly stunned: "Grand Duke, this doesn't seem to be in line with etiquette, the king's envoy should ......"

In terms of etiquette, Hobart should have led all the important officials of Angelou to greet the envoy in the hall where the foreign guests were received.

Even if the envoy had stayed in Angelu for one night, there would still be a welcoming ceremony.

Hobert frowned and said impatiently: "If I ask you to go and please, please go and please!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The king's envoy is still Alice, who has a good temperament, and Alice has no problem with Hobert's behavior that does not follow normal etiquette.

After all, Hobert's political position is there, and the strength of the Duchy of South Bailang is there.

When she entered the door with a smile, she was also slightly stunned.

Hobert's face was cold, giving people a very strange feeling.

Alice quickly adjusted her condition and put on a businesslike appearance.

She came this time for two purposes, the first was to give Hobert part of the property and interests of the East Bairon Company on behalf of the king.

Without exception, those properties were located in the southern Salto region of the Duchy of South Bairan, which was in fact equivalent to giving this colony to Hobert.

The agent of Rune in the Salto region was a nobleman of the Bairan Empire, and the interests of the East Bailang Company were currently given to the Duchy of South Bailang, which meant that it was a colony of the Duchy of South Bailang.

Once the colony was acquired, the territory of the principality reached the southernmost point of the southern continent.

If the colony that is also located at the southern tip and belongs to the Republic of Intis is snatched over, the entire southern part of the southern continent will belong to the Duchy of South Bairan.

The second reason for Alice's visit was to give Hobart the title of "Prince".

At present, there are only two princes of Rune, both of whom are high-ranking and extraordinary members of the royal family of Rune.

At this time, Rune gave Hobert the title of "Prince", which was quite a bit of a "sealable" feeling.

However, Hobart knew that this was actually what William I had said before, a "gift" for promotion.

Hobert accepted the properties and privileges of the East Byron Company, but did not accept the title of "Prince".

He said with a serious face: "If I become a prince, the nobles of Beckland will definitely oppose it, so let's be the Grand Duke." ”

In fact, he considered that if he was named a "prince", when the Duchy of South Bailang became independent in the future, the effect of potion digestion might not be so good.

Although Alice felt that Hobert's reason was very far-fetched, because the other party's tone was unquestionable, she did not continue to insist.

That evening, Hobart held a grand banquet to entertain the king's envoys, but Alice felt no enthusiasm.

Audrey, who was present at the party, saw Hobert's demeanor and immediately understood that he had completed his promotion.

Audrey quickly asked the maid Anne to inform Firth of the matter.

They had already discussed that they would take turns staying with Hobart from the time between his promotion and the time before the wedding, so that he would not do anything out of the ordinary.

The following day, during the official meeting between the Duchy of South Bailang and the King's envoy, Alice made a request for the Duchy of South Bailang to support the western front of Rune, but it was not surprising that Hobert rejected it with his current extraordinary strength in the counties of Highland and Coron.

Alice also offered to visit the industrial area of the Duchy of South Bailang, but was rejected by Hobert on the grounds that "the snow is too heavy and the transportation is inconvenient".

Seeing off the king's envoy, Hobart immediately had Medici invited to his office.

Medici, with a young face with the characteristics of the Southern Continent, quickly followed the waiter in, and he glanced at Hobart and said, "Your two ladies are so beautiful, but I didn't expect you to be in such a bad state." ”

He thought it was Hobert who was not in a good state, and that's why divinity prevailed.

"You don't have to." Hobert frowned and said, "I came to you today for something else." ”

Medici smiled, "Help me re-promote to angel?" ”

"Yes." Hobert said, "This is a reward for your previous wars. ”

He paused and said, "But I have one request, you must join the forces of the Founder.

"I know that, with your qualifications, no one is qualified to lead you, so I specifically apply to the 'Founder', you have the same status as me, but our authority is different.

"I have no other requirements than that you act in accordance with my strategic intentions!"

Medici teased, "Do you think I'm a fool?" This is the status that the 'founder' gave me, right? How did it turn out that you applied for it? ”

His smile was just right to make His words and actions look very bad!

"You ......," Hobart said after taking a deep breath, "you have to pay attention to the timing and object of the 'provocation'!" ”

Medici said, "You also have to pay attention to who you are talking to, and whether you have a basic moral sense of respecting the old and loving the young." ”

Hobert was immediately laughed at angrily: "Okay, child, I will 'love the young'." ”

"In terms of seniority, Lilith has helped you a lot." Medici had been wandering on the periphery of the Angel Battlefield at the time, so he already knew that Hobert was Lilith's child: "But I'm still very curious, why did Lilith have a baby at this time?"

"But this should be her nature, after all, her profession is to give birth!"

If Medici used "he" instead of "she", Hobart wouldn't have bothered with Medici, but Medici obviously knew how to poke Hobert's trachea, so that he suddenly released the coercion of the angel: "You ......"

"Alright," Medici said when he saw that Hobart was coming, "let's get down to business." ”

Hobart also understood Medici's intentions, he took a deep breath, put away the coercion of the angelic level, and felt that his humanity had recovered a lot.

That's right, Medici deliberately provoked continuously just now, just to try to help Hobart regain his humanity.

At dinner that day, Audrey was surprised to find, "Hobert, you...... You seem to have overcome the onslaught of divinity after your promotion? ”

Hobert sighed: "I do feel a lot better. ”

On the other side, Firth asked, "How did you do that?" ”

Hobert smiled wryly: "If you have a colleague who is very annoying, you can easily do that." ”

……

Beckland is now in a mess, a large number of people are unemployed, they have lost their source of income, and the number of homeless people and street girls on the streets has increased several times more than usual!

The large amount of grain sold by the "Duke Grain Store" in Beckland was purchased by the military in a way similar to "forced buying".

The Western Front was debacling faster than expected, and Rune didn't have time to carry away too much food.

The loss of this large granary, combined with the harassment of the port of Plitz by the fleets of the Vorsack Empire and the Republic of Intis, also starved the military of supplies.

In order to raise enough military rations, the Rune military had to "buy" food in this way.

At this time, there was still about a month to be harvested before the new grain season in the Rorsted Islands, and the Rune Colonial Army in the southern continent had lost all the territory of the Pas Valley, another world-class granary.

As a result, the "Duke Grain Store" did not have much grain to sell, so the price of grain rose three times a day, and the middle class, who had not yet lost their jobs, could not afford to eat bread.

As a result, robbery and theft became the norm in Beckland, and people had to find a way to get bread and have the ability to deliver it to their families.

On the streets of Beckland at this time, it was common to shoot for a piece of bread and seriously injure one of the parties.

The police are too lazy to care, and pedestrians have become accustomed to it.

In such a situation, Hobert and Audrey's wedding took place as scheduled.

In this war, the life of the nobles has not been greatly affected to this day, they have long stockpiled enough food for two or three years, they still have many estates, they can produce food constantly, and the military will not "buy" the grain in their hands.

So for the current chaos in Beckland, the nobles basically pretended to turn a blind eye.

A few nobles advocated that everyone donate some food to ordinary people, so as not to take risks, but there was no way to fundamentally solve the current problem.

In Hobert's view, the best thing to do now is to work for money and find something to do for these people.

Hobart even let his deputy, Lord Bradley, in the House of Representatives, introduce such a bill in Parliament, which was also passed, but not implemented by the government departments.

Because now that all branches of government are in the service of the war effort, there is simply no time to implement these bills.

They plan to shoot the police to disperse the crowd in the future when things get out of their hands.

I believe that after a few dispersals, no one will dare to make trouble again.

Hobert also stopped caring and concentrated on getting married.

Although it was in the shadow of war and the fact that the wedding was held in a hurry for the nobles, the wedding was also very grand.

The wedding took place in the Church of St. Samuel in the Church of the Goddess of the Night, and the decoration began two days in advance, and the carpets, candlesticks, and decorations were almost all changed.

Because of the political status of Hobert, Christine, and Earl Hall, almost all of Rune's nobles and high-ranking military officers would come to the wedding.

On the day of the wedding, at about seven o'clock in the morning, as soon as the door of the church hall opened, aristocrats dressed in costumes arrived one after another.

There are too many nobles who come to the wedding today, and the first group of nobles is basically not qualified to sit.

They can only be arranged to stand behind the seats, or in the window position.

Gradually, more and more nobles and officers came to the church, and Hobert's butler Corris and others were very busy.

It was not until after eight o'clock that important guests came to the church, either in positions of high office, or earl or duke.

In short, as soon as they entered, some of the guests who had sat down in advance had to get up honestly to greet them.

Around nine o'clock, Georgina, Alice and other members of the royal family arrived.

Immediately afterward, Hobert, dressed in a black suit, entered through the back door and came to the altar at the front of the church.

At this time, the Queen Mother, the King and the Queen arrived one after another, and everyone on the scene stood up to greet them, and Hobert on the altar also expressed his gratitude to the King and the other three for attending their wedding.

At this time, the whole church was already full, and the last time the nobles of Rune gathered so together was during the ceremony when Christine was canonized as a duke.

The orchestra began to play, and Hobert heard the music mixed with the chatter of everyone, and immediately felt that it was really troublesome to get married!

Outside, the sound of horses sounded again, and the bride Audrey, dressed in a white wedding dress, gracefully stretched out a hand from the carriage, and Earl Hall, who got out of the carriage first, took his daughter's hand and helped her out of the carriage.

Audrey's blonde hair is obscured by a white veil, and her peerless face looms under the thin wedding dress, adding a layer of mystery to her beauty.

The moment he saw Audrey walking towards him on the carpet, Hobert took a deep breath: a little trouble, a little trouble.

Behind Audrey is followed by a flower girl who is also dressed in a white dress, and a ring boy who is wearing a black tuxedo, followed by several bridesmaids who are also wearing white dresses.

Earl Hall took Audrey to the altar and solemnly placed Audrey's hand in Hobert's hand.

The earl's eyes were slightly reddened and he said, "My most cherished daughter will be handed over to you in the future." ”

Hobert took Audrey's hand: "Don't worry, I will live up to our feelings." ”

At this moment, He suddenly felt that his humanity had once again suppressed his divinity.
