As Hobert was chairing a meeting on the progress of the immigration, he was suddenly covered in a gray fog.

Then a tall young man dressed in classical clothes appeared in front of him: "...... Dear Mr. Fool, please help me tell Mr. Emperor that we will set off tomorrow to explore the Giant Court again.

"Please Mr. Emperor get ready, we expect to reach our destination in six days, and in seven days I will summon Mr. Emperor and ask him to act with us."

Immediately after the figure disappeared, Hobart heard Conrad reporting on the progress of the immigration.

As he was still in the meeting, Hobert did not respond immediately.

Conrad's report describes the immigration situation since November last year, and as of August now, a total of 700,000 people have migrated from the Northern Continent, basically completing the plan set before.

After the completion of the land reform in the country, new statistics came out, and the entire country had a population gap of about 1 million.

These gaps are mainly from the counties of Highlands and Coron, as well as the newly occupied area of Salto.

A city of Asunx alone would require at least 150,000 people to fill it, and the Highland Kingdom had previously exploited its own people, greatly limiting the number of people.

The Salto region is a little less populated because of the harsher conditions.

But according to the survey, the Salto region is rich in minerals and has a lot of fertile land that can be cultivated.

The local aristocracy knew that the mines made money, so they basically spent their manpower on mining.

The natives are reluctant to reclaim, and generally the places with better soil quality do not belong to their territory, so it is easy to reclaim the land by themselves, and after several years of consolidation, it is finally turned into fertile land, but it is taken away by the colonizers or local nobles.

Even if it was fertile land, only one season of grain could be grown a year, and the colonists would not go there to build estates because the cost of early development was too great.

As a result, a large amount of land that could be used for cultivation was left undeveloped.

The mere fact that places where food can be grown have not been developed makes Hobart feel very uncomfortable!

In His eyes, such a place is idle and an unforgivable waste!

That's why Hobert presided over the meeting, which was ready to start the second round of immigration action.

Nowadays, the war in the northern continent is scorching, a large number of people have lost their jobs or land due to the war, and many refugees have flocked to Beckland, which has brought a lot of burden to this cosmopolitan metropolis.

In such an environment, some people are willing to emigrate, which can completely fill the gap in the population of the Principality of South Bailang.

Hobart asked the Principality government to speed up the pace of immigration, preferably to complete the second phase of immigration within half a year.

Because in his opinion, after the end of the war on the Northern Continent this winter, the diplomatic relations between the Kingdom of Rune and the Duchy of South Bailang were full of uncertainty.

In between meetings, Hobert took the opportunity to go to the bathroom and prayed to the "fool" and told "Little Sun" that he would adjust the time.

At the same time, Hobart realizes that Silver City's second exploration of the Giant's Court has been advanced.

In his impression, this exploration was probably in the same time period as the Divine War in the Northern Continent.

And now it's only August, and Rune, who has contracted his defensive line, can hold out for a while more with the supply from the eastern part of the kingdom.

Hobert thought about it for a moment, and Crane's hunt for the Ebony Demon Wolf also seemed to be ahead of schedule, so the residents of Silver City and Moon City would arrive early.

So after the start of the new round of meetings, Hobert inquired about the construction of the new city of Larnagua.

After the construction of Angelo was completed, all the construction workers went to Puerto Larnagua without any stops to start the construction of the new city.

According to the plan, it will be basically completed in October, and Hober nodded that the time is completely in time.

At that time, the weather was relatively hot, and it was no problem to live in a rough house, and the specific decoration work could be handed over to the "little sun" to complete by themselves.

The topic of the meeting continued, and everyone discussed the issue of this year's grain harvest, and this year's Duchy of South Bailang can be described as "good weather".

If there are any needs such as rain and wind reduction, Hobert will directly hand over to Medici and Raymond to do it, and there are two "weather warlocks" here, of course, they can't be wasted.

Although Medici looks impatient every time he receives such a task, he listens to officials in areas in need and says that Medici is also happy to face the gratitude of the people.

Raymond, on the other hand, is generally very obedient, and lets rain as much as it gets, so he almost asks how many drops of rain there are.

It is because of the extraordinary power that this year's Duchy of South Bailang has not suffered any natural disasters.

It is certain that there will be a bumper harvest twice the output of previous years, and that so much grain has been produced at once, and the government of the principality must make a good plan for the storage, after all, it will be enough for the whole country to feed for a year.

The last topic of the meeting was the issue of contradictions among the people.

At present, there are Rune people, East Bailang people, West Bailang people, Highland Kingdom people, Longtail Island natives, Fenerpot people, and many small ethnic minorities in the South Bailang Principality.

They have different beliefs and living habits, and many contradictions have emerged between them in the process of communication, and these contradictions are becoming more and more intense.

Hobert immediately found the source of the contradiction: there was not a single Juche nation in the country!

This is obviously a big problem, and in Hobert's impression, the basic condition for a large and powerful country in general is that there is a Juche nation with a population of at least 70% or more.

This is more conducive to unifying a country's values and can greatly reduce internal contradictions.

At present, the plan of immigration is not over, but the disadvantages of the country of immigration are about to begin to appear.

Hobert thought back to the ways in which the immigrants stabilized themselves in the Common Era, and after thinking for a while, he realized: What a fart! In the extraordinary world, this is an opportunity!

So immediately after the meeting, Hobart asked the Duchy government to invite professors of sociology, folklore, and linguistics to set up a department that would integrate the characteristics of domestic customs, costumes, etc.

Hobert's next step was to unify the nation's standards of dress, language, and weights and measures.

The first step is to do some research and combine the costumes of all parties, leaving the parts that are more practical, more beautiful, and at the same time not difficult to make.

Then, in the second half of the year, when the whole country began to carry out large-scale construction, taking advantage of the semi-military state at that time, while unifying the architectural style, unified clothing and weights and measures, and promoted the same language.

As long as you dress the same, use the same, and live the same, it won't be long before most of the conflicts will not be so intense.

As for some customs and hairstyles with local styles, they can be kept, and they are only required to speak the same language.

In 20 years at most, when the new generation with a new education grows up, there will be no more sharp contradictions in the whole country.

Sixty or seventy years later, when all this became a habit for everyone, a new nation with unified values was born.

But now Hobert doesn't care about things so far away, and at the beginning of the unification of everything, he will definitely get the disgust and protest of the people.

And all this will be the basis for Hobert's digestion of potions, and will also be the key to the promotion ceremony of the Black Emperor.

The only thing to pay attention to is that after the people's disgust causes a mass incident, it must be resolved quickly.

It generally doesn't make sense to reason with them, and the solution is nothing more than coercion and inducement.

Conrad and others, who have experience in governing Longtail Island, are no strangers to this, so Hobert asked Conrad to prepare a few plans, even if there is no way to solve it, it doesn't matter, go on your own, and if you have the ability to "incite", there will be nothing.

In the close planning and planning of this matter, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the time agreed with "Little Sun".

Hobert told Audrey and Furth about his next move, and then shut himself in his study again.

After building the "spiritual wall", Hobart sacrificed himself to the "Fool" as he had done last time, but this time the "Fool" did not respond until more than half a minute later.

Returning to the misty castle again, Hobart felt that the figure in the depths of the castle seemed to be full of twist and madness.

He immediately remembered that Crane had explored the Giant King's abode first, and that his shadow had been taken away by the "Dark Angel" Sasriel, and at the same time, the secret puppet had been taken away again, so his state was very wrong.

Hobart was tempted to come up and ask: Is your state okay? If not, I might as well let the "Founder" send me to the "Godforsaken Land."

While he was thinking about it, Hobart's vision darkened, and he had appeared in the "Godforsaken Land".

Rising from the simple altar, in the dim light, Hobart first saw the tall Derick Berg with brown hair.

Derick was a little excited when he saw Hobert: "The emperor ...... What should I call you. ”

He suddenly remembered that he didn't know the name of Mr. Emperor yet.

Hobart smiled slightly: "My name is Hobert." ”

"Little Sun" also introduced himself: "My name is Darik. ”

Hobert let out a "hmm" and turned his head to look at the chief Colin Iliad, who was also tall and gray-haired, and Lovia Tiffany, who was dressed in black robes and was flamboyant.

Both of them were looking at Hobert carefully, Derik had already reported that he would get two helpers, and at first Colin only planned to ask Darik to call one helper, so that the matter was still under control.

To be precise, Colin and Lovia can still work together to control the situation if Derrick and his helpers have a problem, and if they are two helpers, they can easily lose their balance.

But when Darik told Colin that the second helper was an angel and had relatively free access to the Forsaken Lands, Colin didn't have much of a problem with that.

The reason is very simple, if there was a problem with this angel-level helper, Silver City would have been gone a long time ago.

Colin knew that the angel must have a purpose for taking the initiative to participate in this exploration, but it was also an opportunity for Silver City.

Elder Lovia was very worried about this, because in her opinion, the power of Silver City was out of balance.

In a moment of thought, Colin and Lovia put their left hands on their chests and bowed to Hobert, a minimum of respect for the angels who walked the earth.

"Standing in front of you, I understand what giant blood is." Hobert, much shorter than the three of them, waved at Colin and Lovia in response, and then smiled and asked, "I don't speak the Giant's language very well, can you understand it?" ”

Dyric replied, "It may sound awkward, but I understand you." ”

Hober nodded, "How far is the Giant Court from here?" ”

Darick pointed behind Hobert, "It's on the hill over there." ”

Hobart glanced around, and a bright light illuminated a magnificent castle built against a hill, and that castle was very old, and the style was different from any other building in the north and south continents.

It's magnificent, and even has a sense of epicness, and there's a sense of history coming to life.

Hobert sighed: "This is the so-called kingdom of God, even if it has been abandoned for so long, it still gives people a sense of sacredness." ”

He looked back, "I thought there wouldn't be any light here." ”

"That bright light just appeared out of nowhere." "We don't know what's going on. ”

Hober nodded: "Then can we start exploring, don't you mind if I speed up?" ”

Before the others could answer, Hobert had already "distorted" the space and led them to the gate of the Giant Court.

Derick praised: "Mr. Hobert, is this ability a collective 'flash'? ”

"That's 'distorting' space." Hobert didn't hide the authenticity.

Colin and Lovia had a little worry in their eyes, and when Hobart "accelerated" just now, they had no ability to resist at all.

Hobert looked at the castle in front of him, which had collapsed in many places: "Gelman is late!" ”

"Gelman Sparrow is never late!" As soon as Hobart finished speaking, a figure turned out from behind the collapsed tower, wearing a black trench coat and a silk top hat, his right face was cold and stiff, and the left side of his face was composed of transparent and twisted, constantly crawling worms:

"I won't be early, I'll just be there."

He grinned as he spoke, and his smile was exaggerated.

The three demigods of Silver City immediately assumed a posture of vigilance, and in their eyes, the man in the strange coat and hat was more like a monster.

Hobart smiled: "This sentence sounds familiar, like a line from somewhere. ”

He paused and said, "My friend, you are in such a bad state, let me help you." ”

As he spoke, Hobert "distorted" Crane's spirit, making his originally incomplete spirit temporarily complete, which is equivalent to Crane's original 0.5 spirit, and "distorted" to become 1.

Crane let out a long sigh of relief, and half of his face made up of worms returned to normal.

He reverted to his old coldness: "With you joining, it seems that this operation will be very easy." ”

Dyric and the others listened carefully to the conversation between the two helpers, and saw that Hobert solved the problem easily, and Derrick was very happy, but Colin felt that the power of Silver City seemed to have become marginalized in this operation.

"Not necessarily." Hobert said, "Didn't the 'Dark Angel' sit in the abode of the Giant King? ”

"That doesn't seem to be the complete 'Dark Angel'." Klein said, "I have opened the door to the Giant King's residence, which has brought some accidents and caused a change in the kingdom of God.

"Sitting in it is more like the shadow of the 'Dark Angel', in short, it doesn't feel like a complete 'Dark Angel'."

As he spoke, he glanced at Hobert, who understood and nodded slightly.

In Hobert's description, the "Dark Angel" is a doppelganger of the ancient sun god's human nature, and the ancient sun god returned his humanity in the process of "killing himself", which is equivalent to making the "dark angel" lose his main consciousness.

Later, the plan of the ancient sun god failed, and the human part of him immediately reclaimed the extraordinary properties and uniqueness of Sequence 1 of the "Hanging Man" pathway, forming the true Creator.

So the "Dark Angel" also loses its main extraordinary properties.

Klein was just telling Hobart with his eyes that his information was basically accurate.

At the same time, Klein noticed that the "dark angel" sitting in the main hall was more like some kind of symbolism, or a manifestation of some kind of divinity.

But it was only a spiritual feeling for him, and he didn't see exactly what it was.

Hobert clapped his hands: "Alright, everyone is here, it's time for us to go."

"Oh, by the way, the three of Silver City, I think Derrick has already told you about my conditions, right?"

Colin nodded, "Yes." ”

Hobart said pointedly: "As long as you get my payment, I will keep you safe and let you see the sun outside." ”

He said this in the direction of the gate: "Hurry up, I would love to see how the Dark Angel is doing." ”

Klein realized that Hobert might have come with a mission, and that the Founders, like the True Creator and Amun, might also want to know the current state of the Dark Angel Sasriel.

In front of it is a gate dozens of meters high, with a grayish blue color and golden nails inlaid on the surface.

Hobert wanted to go up and see if the nails were made of real gold, but he felt that this action was very inconsistent with the identity of an angel, and would make him fall in price, so he could only pretend not to see it.

On both sides of the inside of the gate, there stood a five- or six-meter-tall, extremely oppressive guard, they were dressed in delicate and sturdy silver full-body armor, one was holding a large sword, the other was a pestle and a giant axe, and there was an orange light shining from behind the mask.

Colin and the others stopped their progress from a safe distance, and only Hobart was walking forward alone in an unhurried manner.

Derick was about to stop Hobart and discuss a tactic, but Crane stopped him, saying, "He can handle it himself." ”

He knew that Hobart had been promoted to Sequence 1, and that he had acted with Hobart not long ago, and that Hobert's killing of a "miracle master" at this time was like a joke, and the two Sequence 3s were not a problem at all.

Hobart walked forward step by step, and the huge steps in front of the door, about the height of a man, seemed to have suddenly shrunk to the normal size of a step under his feet.

After reaching a certain distance, the two "Silver Knights" reacted, their necks turning a little stiffly, and looked at the intruder Hobert.

Hobart snapped his fingers in a dashing manner and "tampered" with the weight of the armor of the two "Silver Knights".

Their hands trembled, as if they were trying to pick up their weapons, but the great swords and axes sank into the dirt beneath their feet.

At the same time, because the armor was too heavy, the "Silver Knight" was pressed to one knee, as if to greet Hobert.

Hobert approached the two Silver Knights and looked at them curiously, "It turns out that you are still able to stay here because the spirit body is so special.

"Was it the impact you received when you were fighting the immortal birds?

"But it doesn't matter, you're history, rest in peace."

Hobert took out the "0-73" Grim Reaper Realm from the "Land of Disorder" and stuffed their spirits into the Underworld.

Boom~

The greatsword fell to the ground, and the two "silver knights" knelt there motionless.

Hobert snapped his fingers again, and two copies of the extraordinary properties of the "Silver Knight" were immediately precipitated.

After collecting the loot, Hobert waved his hand behind him: "Let's move on." ”

It took a second or two for Derick to realize that the two "Silver Knights" who had been bothering them before had been solved like this!

He looked at his two companions excitedly, and Colin seemed to have figured it out, and no longer had any doubts about it.

At this time, the chief was very sure that the strength of the other party was enough to destroy Silver City easily, and there was no need to use some complicated means to do so.

But the other party did not do so, which shows that the other party has no malicious intentions, at least for the time being.

Luo Wei's expression was very solemn, and her eyes were still full of worry.

But she also knew that her worries were of little avail.

After seeing the reaction of the two companions, Derrick also restrained his excited expression, but he was still very happy in his heart: I have known Mr. Emperor for two years, and I ...... him No, he understands better, otherwise I would have been suspicious if such a powerful helper suddenly appeared in front of me.

The group continued to move forward, and not long after they walked forward, there was a black "lake" blocking the way.

These lakes look very unusual, and beneath the "surface" of the water, there seem to be invisible whirlpools into which spirits can be sucked in.

Hobert pointed to a piece of masonry on the ground, and then waved his hand, and the masonry slammed toward the opposite shore like a cannonball leaving the chamber.

But this extremely fast masonry suddenly began to fall in the "middle of the lake", and fell into the lake in a parabola that violated the laws of mechanics and was close to a right angle.

Then Hobert raised his hand and pushed forward, and a large area of space in front of him became chaotic, but the chaotic space also fell into the lake.

Klein said, "Even extraordinary abilities can fall? ”

Hobert smiled slightly: "It seems that the 'Dark Angel' has a lot of influence on this castle." ”

He pondered for a moment and said, "Ready, we're going to get through here quickly." ”

As he spoke, he grabbed the uniqueness of the Black Emperor from the "Land of Disorder" and held it above his head, and then made a downward gesture forward.

Hula~

The black "lake" splits from the middle, revealing the road that has been dyed black.

Using the ability to "tamper" with locations, Hobart "tampered" from one side of the lake to the other.

He put away his uniqueness and smiled slightly, "Fortunately, the one sitting inside is not a complete 'dark angel'. ”

Derik on the side breathed a sigh of relief and said: Fortunately, I asked Mr. Emperor to help, otherwise this "lake" would have trapped us.

Continuing on, they saw that the path of steps stretched to the most magnificent abode of the Giant King.
