Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 413 Promoted to Chaos Tutor ([-]-word chapter)

Hobert finally understood why Jessica was so confident before, whether she was facing MI[-] or the "jury", she was not afraid of revealing her residence.

It turned out that the owner of the residence was willing and able to provide them with a certain degree of security. Hobert didn't know Alice's status in the royal family, but her status as a princess was there, and she often represented The majesty of the royal family is enough for MI[-] to dare not offend.

Jessica whispered: "You should change into someone else's appearance. Although Princess Alice promised to ignore our private affairs, there are other servants here, and it's not good if they see them."

After all, Hobert had killed a prince not long ago, and that was Alice's younger brother.

Hobert returned to his original appearance when he was riding in the carriage, and then followed Jessica into the yard.

While walking inside, Hobert asked, "How is the potion of 'Barbarian' digested?"

"Digestion? Well, this word is quite appropriate." Jessica smiled and said, "During the legislation of the Labor Law, I feel that the potion has been well digested, and my condition has always been very good."

Hobert nodded. What Jessica did was equivalent to challenging Backlund's existing order, so the potion was digested to a certain extent: "After I feel that I have completely mastered the potion of 'Barbarian', Write to me, I have the potion recipe and master ingredients for 'The Briber'."

Jessica agreed with a smile, opened the small door of the big warehouse in front of her, and invited Hobert to enter.

This large warehouse is still divided into two parts. You can see the whole warehouse as soon as you enter the door. This is much larger than Kelly's studio before, but she is still full of it.

On the side of the warehouse entrance, there is a small room, which seems to be designed to record the entry and exit of the warehouse property, but it is now tidied up by Jessica and used for receiving customers.

Kelly was already waiting there, polishing a light red sword. Hobert noticed that there were many mysterious symbols engraved on the sword.

After learning that the strange-looking man in front of her was Hobert, Kelly smiled and said, "I can only say that we are very lucky to have forged two extraordinary weapons in one go."

She raised the sword in her hand: "As long as you inject weak spiritual power into it, it will become hotter and hotter. Until it turns red, the sword body will ignite flames, and each blow can sprinkle some sparks , has the effect of interfering with the opponent's vision, and at the same time can increase one's own power. In addition, there is a probability of about 5.00%, which can help the holder find the enemy's weakness."

Hobert took the handle of the sword and played with it. The ability of this sword is already quite good: "How long will the effect last?"

"The effect produced by extraordinary materials is not as fast as the loss of spiritual materials." Kelly said: "But every one and a half years, it must be repaired by me or other craftsmen. If it is repaired on time, it will take more than a dozen Year is fine."

As she spoke, she opened another wooden box on the table. Inside was a crimson warhammer, and many mystical symbols were engraved on the warhammer.

Kelly continued: "The extraordinary materials you gave me are one of the main materials of the 'provocateur', I try to use the relevant spiritual materials, so that these weapons have corresponding pathways, not just limited to the 'provocateur' 'Ability.

"Like this war hammer, there is a certain probability that it will hit the opponent with flames. The more it is in a dark place, the higher the probability of hitting the flames. I tried it at night, and the probability can reach up to 10%.

"It also has the ability to provoke with a certain probability, causing the surrounding enemies to change their attack targets and attack the owner together. When the owner's defense ability is strong enough, this is a pretty good weapon in group combat. ability, but if the holder is an intelligent Extraordinary, this ability is tantamount to suicide."

Hobert nodded: It is very suitable for use in "Land Abandoned by God".

The first is that it is dark enough there, and the second is that the extraordinary's defense ability is generally high there.

Hobert asked, "How much is the total cost of materials and labor?"

"The materials are so useless." Jessica said on the side: "But it took Kelly a lot of time. You can pay another 200 pounds for the labor."

Hobert nodded, and took out the 200 pounds that hadn't been warmed up yet: "I brought you three more of the same main ingredients this time."

Kelly was slightly taken aback: "I have to remind you again, you didn't lose money for the two Extraordinary weapons this time, but it doesn't mean that we will have such good luck next time."

Theoretically speaking, there is no problem at all for these two weapons to sell for 2000 pounds.

But the cost is very high. "Provocateur" is a relatively "popular" Beyonder path, and four main materials of this level are worth between 1200 pounds and 1500 pounds.

Adding in the labor cost of 200 pounds, in Kelly and Jessica's opinion, the cost would be 1600 to 1700 pounds.

But the two weapons could only be sold for 2000 pounds in the end, which was too little for them.

Hobert smiled and said: "I have related channels, and I can get relatively cheap Extraordinary materials. You don't have to do it, even if you don't succeed once, I will still pay you."

Kelly smiled: "Okay, but if the three main materials are the same, I'm sure I can make at least one Extraordinary weapon.

"Let me take a look, this seems to be the main material of 'Beast Tamer', if I have to check the information again.

"Hehe, I am looking forward to what kind of extraordinary weapon I can create."

Hobert suddenly thought of a new question: "If it fails, these main materials will be useless?"

This is a bit unreasonable, after all, it is a Beyonder material, and the Extraordinary characteristics should not disappear.

"Those materials will be combined with the weapon, but it will not give the weapon any ability." Kelly spread her hands: "Such extraordinary materials are scrapped, and cannot be used to prepare potions, nor can they be used in other weapons in the making."

Hobert seemed to understand something: "If I'm not mistaken, a Extraordinary weapon can be used for more than ten years. It doesn't mean that its extraordinary effect is gone, but the metal material of the weapon can only support it for more than ten years?"

Kelly nodded: "That's the truth."

"If you encounter such weapons, you can help me buy them at a low price. In my eyes, they still have residual value." Hobert said: "Also, I will also recycle weapons that failed to be produced. This is our deal. a part of."

Kelly wondered, "What do you want these things for?"

Of course, get the "Nation of Disorder" and smash it to get the extraordinary characteristics of the extraordinary material, so as to realize recycling.

Hobert smiled: "Of course I have my uses."

Kelly nodded, but did not continue to ask questions.

After talking about the business, Jessica poured three glasses of wine, and the three of them sat on the sofa and chatted.

While chatting, Kelly talked about Hobart's messenger, saying that the messenger must have a high status.

Jessica also sighed: "And it can give off huge mental pressure. Today, when she was waiting for a reply, it made me feel huge pressure.

"This forced me to write faster, and I wrote the reply in two to three minutes."

Hobert smiled and said, "According to my observation, her personality is indeed not low..."

Wait, I finished writing in two or three minutes, why did it take more than ten minutes to reply to me?
Well, well, the personality is not low, but I like the donuts of pit summoners.

Hobert took a sip of wine to hide his unnaturalness, he suddenly thought: "Is this wine aged?"

Jessica smiled and said: "Princess Alice also gave us the wine cellar here, and told us that we can drink freely. I looked at it before, and there are many old wines."

Hobert asked, "Is there any white wine for three years?"

"Have."

"Then please help me get a bottle, I just need to use it."

Originally, Hobert planned to find a winery to buy a bottle later, which saved him an extra trip.

"No problem." Soon Jessica brought the wine.

Hobert was about to give the money, but he thought it would be too extravagant to give the money, so he changed the action of giving the money into a thank you.

They chatted for another 20 minutes, and at around nine o'clock, Hobert carried two wooden boxes on his back and took the wine and left.

He still didn't use "Travel" in Queens. This is a gathering place for nobles, and the royal family, the military, and the church have relatively tight protection for this place. It's safer to leave here honestly and use "Travel" again.

Back in his own fief, Hobert put the white wine on the desk first, then opened two wooden boxes and named the two weapons "Crimson Sword" and "Provocative Warhammer" respectively.

After playing with it for a while, Hobert closed the wooden box and asked Schill outside the door to quietly deliver the "Crimson Sword" to Grove.

After sacrificing the "Provocative Warhammer" to the "Nation of Disorder", Hobert returned to his room and meditated to get himself to sleep as soon as possible. He wanted to maintain an excellent state in order to cope with tomorrow's promotion.

……

Before dawn, the villagers and residents of the small town met to go to the Lord's Mansion. Under the previous rule of the gangsters, they had to pay taxes once a month.

If the leaders of those bandits are not killed by the lord, it will be time for them to pay taxes again.

So everyone has been a little nervous recently. The lord's mansion has not sent anyone to urge to pay taxes, and they don't know how the new lord plans to collect taxes?

When everyone learned that the lord announced how to collect taxes, it immediately attracted widespread attention. Almost the whole family came out to hear how to pay taxes next year, otherwise this New Year will definitely not be a good one.

Hobert also got up early today. Philip came to report early, and almost all the residents in the entire territory came.

The front of the lord's mansion was already full of people, even the road up and down the mountain was already full of people.

But it wasn't noisy outside, not even a loud voice could be heard.

Apparently, the people respected Hobart's authority more than when they were doing household registration statistics, and they felt that there was no noise in front of the lord's mansion.

Hobert briefly ate his breakfast, then returned to his study, and placed all the Extraordinary materials on the desk.

He had already prepared measuring cylinders, balances, beakers and other tools. After the materials were ready, he began to prepare the potion.

The first is 80ml of three-year white wine, which is a normal wine, and there is nothing to say.

The crown tree sap is then added, and the golden-yellow sap quickly blends with the wine, turning it a warm pale yellow.

Then came the bark of the black Metagrosia flower and the dragon-marked tree. The Metastasia flower was a golden and black flower, about the size of a palm, but very light in weight.

The bark of the dragon pattern tree is a piece of bark that seems to be mixed with black stars and golden lines, and even seems to be able to see a little bit of starlight and a faint golden light.

After the giant golden monster flower and the bark of the dragon pattern tree were added to the beaker, they were quickly melted, and a change similar to a chemical reaction occurred, and the liquid in the entire beaker seemed to be tumbling.

In the end, Hobert added the extraordinary characteristic of the "chaos mentor" that had split up long ago and then reunited.

Its shape is like a clenched translucent pitch-black fist. This fist intuitively gives people a sense of power and evil. The lines and light spots on it seem to follow normal rules, but they are full of violations, as if they contain a lot of power. madness and chaos.

Just looking at it makes people feel uneasy, as if a patient with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder sees an extremely messy room and wants to roll up his sleeves to tidy up the room.

The Extraordinary properties also melted quickly, but there was no violent reaction in the beaker, but Hobert seemed to hear some brain-swelling ravings from the beaker.

But if the eyes leave the beaker, the raving will also disappear.

Hobert took out the glass medicine bottle that he had prepared earlier, and poured all the potion in the beaker into the medicine bottle.

Hobert corked the bottle and pocketed it.

Opening the door of the study, Forsi was already waiting outside.

Just now she went to a high place to look outside. Even Fors, who lives in a big city, rarely sees thousands of people gathering together.

These are the people of this territory, and they are all loyal to Hobart. Thinking of this, Fors is excited for Hobart.

Hobert stretched out his hand, and Fors naturally took his arm.

Accompanied by the guards and respectfully supported by the servants, the two arrived at the gate of the Lord's Mansion.

"My lord!"

"lady!"

The uproarious greetings outside made Fors slightly taken aback. She was not as shy as she was when she entered the Lord's Mansion the first day, but waved to everyone in a graceful manner.

Philip has prepared a small high platform in advance, the horn is also tied to the tree, and the microphone is placed on the table of the small high platform.

Hobert and Forsi came to the high platform hand in hand, and the people behind also saw them. For a while, the voices of "Sir" could be heard endlessly, and the scene was very lively.

Hobert smiled and waved to them. The process of greeting lasted for more than a minute before the scene gradually calmed down.

The scene made Schiller's chest puff up and Philip's eyes filled with tears.

Under Forsi's guidance, Hobert turned on the microphone switch: "As I said yesterday, I called you here to announce how Jeffrey will collect taxes after he takes over."

As soon as the lord spoke, the people who had never seen the trumpet wondered why the lord's voice was so loud?
But Hobert got to the point as soon as he came up, and made everyone quiet immediately.

"I hereby declare," Hobert said with a smile, "Jeffrey will be exempted from all agricultural taxes starting today!"

This news shocked Grove, Albert and the others. Of course they understood the significance of the agricultural tax to the landed nobles. Without the agricultural tax, the lord would lose more than [-]% of his income. How should he support the expenses of the lord's mansion?

Forsi also showed a surprised expression. She realized yesterday that Hobert would greatly reduce the taxes of the people in the territory, but she had no idea that Hobert would simply exempt all taxes!
However, most people are at a loss. Many people don't understand what agricultural tax is, and of course they don't know which part of the tax the lord is exempting.

Hobert continued to explain: "You don't have to pay taxes on the income from farming, the income from the orchard, and the vegetable garden!"

The scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone couldn't believe it.

Until someone in front of the stage boldly asked: "My lord, that is to say, no matter what I plant and what I harvest, I don't have to pay taxes, right?"

"Yes!"

After a few seconds of silence, I don't know who shouted first: "Long live Sir!"

Then everyone shouted together: "Long live the lord!" "Long live the lord!"

The shouts were earth-shattering, and many people were so excited that tears filled their eyes.

Taking advantage of the extremely lively scene, Hobert hurriedly handed the microphone to Forsi, and then, surrounded by Schill and others, came down to a small room at the entrance of the Lord's Mansion.

When Hobert entered the door, he said to Schill, "Stay here and don't let anyone in."

"Yes!"

Hobart locked the door tightly and recalled the ceremony of being promoted to "Master of Chaos" again: in his own territory, taking the potion amidst the people's heartfelt gratitude.

Now that the two requirements have been fulfilled, while the cheers outside were still deafening, Hobert uncorked the bottle and drank the potion in one gulp.

The moment the potion entered, Hobert felt his consciousness explode. Suddenly, his consciousness was in chaos, and he even lost control of his consciousness and body in an instant.

Hobert's whole body became muddled, his spiritual body broke through the roof and came into midair.

At this time, the sun rises and shines on the Full Moon Lake, making the lake look soft and warm. The sun shines on the vibrant vegetation, making the land look full of vitality.

What a beautiful lake, what a beautiful countryside scene, and there are so many people out there!
"Long live my lord!"

"Long live Jeffrey!"

Hobert heard shouts one after another, and a wave of enthusiastic emotions repeatedly washed over Hobert who had been completely empty, causing him to have emotional fluctuations again.

Sir?Lord Hobart, I am Lord Hobart!

Yes, they are appreciating me for exempting them from farm taxes and cheering for me!
This land of beauty is my domain!

Suddenly, Hobert regained his consciousness, and then there was a confusing raving in his ear, which made Hobert have a splitting headache.

Hobert was about to meditate against the ravings, but the cheers outside gradually overwhelmed the ravings until only the cheers remained in Hobert's ears.

He breathed a sigh of relief and regained control of himself.

It may be the reason why the potion was digested well, or it may be the reason why the effect of the ceremony was very good. The process of being promoted to "Master of Chaos" was smoother than Hobart expected.

He lowered his head and clenched his fists, feeling that his strength had increased again, and his physique became stronger. Although he didn't dare to compare with the "Guardian", it was similar to the physique of the "Knight of Dawn".

At the same time, he feels that his speed has also improved significantly, and he has all kinds of fighting skills. Even if he has not learned fighting, he will be a fighting master when fighting.

For the blessing of fighting, the "judge" path starts from "arbitrator", and when it reaches the level of "sheriff", it is already a master of fighting.

However, the "Dark Emperor" pathway is only "completed" at the level of the "Chaos Mentor".

Hobert touched the "fighting ring" on his hand. This magical item that he has worn for the longest time can finally "retire".

Then Hobert let his spirituality spread, feeling the new abilities he had acquired.

The first is "Chaos", which is the signature ability of "Chaos Mentor", which can make the locked target fall into chaos, making it difficult for the attack to fall on oneself, and making it easy for the enemy to make wrong choices.

At the same time, it can cause some confusion in the area of ​​about five meters. For example, the temperature in this area suddenly rises, the road surface in this area suddenly becomes uneven, etc. Such states can be superimposed.

In addition, the ability of "distortion" has been greatly improved. In addition to the enhanced ability to distort the target's language, actions and intentions, it can also distort the concept of itself and the target, so that both parties bear half and half of the damage, curse, disease, etc. received.

Hobert touched his "Fork of Healing" unconsciously. The "Distortion" and "Healing Technique" at the fifth level of the Sequence were a perfect match!
"Corruption" has also been strengthened, it can cause the hearts of people within 20 meters to be corrupted, and Hobert can already control whether to make the enemy greedy or dark, no matter what, it is easier for the opponent to make irrational choices .

"Weakening" and other abilities strengthen the most, and you don't need to use "bribery" to use the four skills of "Weakening", "Charm", "Arrogance", and "Relationship".

In particular, the two skills "Arrogance" and "Relationship", which were somewhat tasteless before, have become unexpected abilities.

"Arrogance" can make the target become proud, arrogant, mentally lowered, and misjudged.

"Association" can quickly connect the two parties and make the hostility of the target disappear temporarily.

And "Charm" now has two modes. The first mode is to make it difficult for the enemy to have the desire to attack, or even lose the desire to fight for a short time.

The second mode is more like "charm" + "distortion", let the enemy's attack fall on the companion, and quickly develop a good impression of yourself, thinking that the companion has betrayed you, so you can become your helper in a short time.

If this ability is used well, it will be a very explosive skill in team battles!
Finally, it was the changes in Hobert's temperament brought about by the potion, as well as the spiritual changes.

He can behave like an ordinary person, or he can make himself extremely majestic, making the creatures around him unconsciously lower their figure and want to surrender.

The change in spirituality is that the "reserve" of spirituality has become huge. Now when Hobert uses "Holy Light" or "Gate of the Underworld", he will not have too much burden.

Hobert took a deep breath, Sequence 5 is indeed a level stronger than Sequence 6,
At this time, the atmosphere outside was still very lively. Hobert adjusted his state and went to the "Nation of Disorder" to re-seal the figure in the pool and then came out of the room.

Schill immediately felt that it was different when the lord followed him in.

His back seemed to be taller and more majestic than before.

Hobert returned to the small high platform outside, and took over the microphone from Fors.

Forsi has been asked to the brim by everyone's questions, and she doesn't know whether raising livestock and poultry is considered as an agricultural tax, and she doesn't know whether the grown vegetables need to be taxed or not if they are traded.

Hobert returned to the high platform and answered everyone's questions one by one.

……

Fenepot Kingdom, the northern city of Tubria.

Lieutenant Colonel Baird is packing his bags in a panic!
dong dong dong~
Someone knocked on the door.

Baird loaded the pistol: "Who?"

"Me!" It was Ethel's voice.

Baird first looked surprised, then despaired, and finally made himself try to calm down, put the gun back in the holster and opened the door.

Ethel stood at the door and looked around the room with a smile: "You seem to be packing your luggage?"

"Honey, I'm going to find you!" Baird said with a happy face: "You don't know, after hearing the news of the place where you were attacked, I couldn't stay for a moment, and wanted to rush to protect you immediately ! Mother God, let you return safely."

Ethel smiled slightly: "Thank you for your concern."

While talking, she suddenly kicked Baird away: "Take him away!"
