Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 414 Sealing Full Moon Lake (adding more rewards for everyone)

Outside the city of Tubria, in the dungeon of the barracks, the screams of Lieutenant Colonel Baird echoed.

In the interrogation room, Baird had been tortured beyond recognition and nearly collapsed.

Sitting across from her, Ethel smiled and said, "Honey, it hurts my heart to be beaten like this, so you should hurry up and tell the truth.

"Things are not as complicated as imagined, only you have the opportunity to see the letter my father wrote to me, and the order sent through top-secret channels.

"And I don't believe that you are a spy for those bastards of Intis, otherwise I would have found out that something is wrong with you.

"You can speak freely here. Have you seen the candlestick hanging from the roof? It is a sealed item from the Fourth Epoch. It can interfere with hypnosis and psychological suggestion, and it can also effectively counter the ability to 'keep secrets'.

"Here, you have no secrets."

Baird was crying bitterly, and there were already many scars on his handsome face: "Ethel, please believe me, I am really an ordinary spy..."

"Such an answer is too disappointing." Ethel waved at the interrogator.

The interrogator came, wearing gloves, and carefully carrying a set of shackles.

"Don't..." Of course Baird knew the sealed artifact, but no matter how he resisted, the interrogator carefully put the handcuffs on his feet.

The moment the shackles were fully closed, Baird's roar immediately became indistinct, and he trembled in pain.

Then there was a stench coming from him, and the always decent and handsome lieutenant colonel was incontinent.

After about 20 seconds, the interrogator quickly removed the handcuffs, and Baird suddenly drooped his head, as if all his strength had been taken away.

Ethel stood up with her hands behind her back, as if she was strolling in the garden of her own home: "A prisoner once described the pain caused by this sealed artifact: it seemed that all the bones in his body were broken inch by inch."

She looked at Baird: "Let's be honest, because of our past friendship, I can spare your life."

Baird said weakly: "Yes, it is His Royal Highness the Second Prince..."

Ethel smiled and said, "I know my princes better than you. If you say that Bishop (the third prince) is very ambitious, I will believe it, but Blaise (the second prince) doesn't have the guts, nor does he means."

She said to the interrogator: "Another 15 seconds, don't let him die of pain."

"I said, I said..." Baird said quickly: "It's the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness asked me to pay attention to your every move, otherwise my parents, my brothers and sisters will all die."

As he spoke, Baird burst into tears: "Please let me go, I will never participate in the royal family again..."

Ethel took out the gun and pulled the trigger without hesitation. The bullet opened a big hole in the back of Baird's head, and the begging for mercy stopped abruptly.

Ethel wiped the wet corners of her eyes with her finger: "I lied to you, the moment I come back alive, you will be dead.

"You betrayed me, I lied to you once, well, we're even."

She stared blankly at the corpse in front of her for a while, and then glanced at the interrogator from the corner of her eye.

The interrogator immediately said: "General, all members of my family are hard of hearing. From my grandfather to my son, all have deaf problems."

Ethel smiled and said, "Smart people always live long."

She walked out of the dungeon step by step, and saw the clear sky outside: "It's time to go back to Feneport City."

……

South Colson, on the west shore of Full Moon Lake.

Recently, the Viscount Teutonic always looked at the opposite bank with his ancestral telescope: "Isn't it the New Year yet? Why are you cheering on the other side?

"Huh? Why are you still slaughtering sheep and pigs? What are they celebrating?"

Viscount Teutonic asked the butler impatiently: "Where are the spies you sent out? Haven't you come back yet?"

The steward quickly replied: "Last night, there was news that Louis Knight and Duke Knight were under house arrest by Baron Hobert, and the former helpers in the town were unwilling to help us anymore, so it is very difficult for spies to obtain information now."

"It's less than a month!" Viscount Teutonic exclaimed.

He meant that Hobert had been here less than a month.

"My lord, I'm back!" At this time, the spies sent out finally came back, and he knelt down on the ground: "Hobert, Hobert exempted all the agricultural taxes that Jeffrey received!"

"What!" Viscount Teutonic almost jumped up: "Is he crazy?"

After thinking about it, Viscount Teutonic immediately said: "Block this news! Be sure to block this news!"

If this news spreads in the territory, all the subjects under his rule will definitely run away.

The spy said again: "My lord, I also brought the Duke knight who escaped from Hobert's mansion!"

Viscount Teutonic was taken aback: "Let him in quickly!"

Grove Duke knelt down on the ground with a wooden box on his back: "Your lord, you must help us regain our fief! Hobert actually snatched our fief and planned to put us under house arrest in the lord's mansion.

"I took advantage of the festivities being held in the Lord's Mansion today, and I ran out due to lack of manpower. My lord, for the sake of my service to you in the past, please help us regain the fief!"

Viscount Teutonic had some doubts, so of course he would not agree immediately: "You, you get up first."

"That's right!" Grove presented the wooden box to Teutonic, "Anyway, I was going to fight Hobert desperately, so before I left, I simply stole Hobert's weapon!
"Now I dedicate the weapon to the Sir, please help me!"

Viscount Teutonic opened the wooden box, and with just one glance, he knew that the sword was not ordinary.

Holding it in his hand, he immediately understood that it turned out to be an extraordinary weapon!
He had only heard of this kind of weapon, but had never seen it before.

Viscount Teutonic played with it fondly, then closed the wooden box, and reached out to touch Grove: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you regain the territory!
"But you have to wait for the opportunity. You live in my lord's mansion first. Here, you still enjoy the treatment of a knight. I will kill anyone who dares to disrespect you!"

Grove expressed gratitude: "Thank you, Sir!"

……

Hobert killed a total of three pigs and four sheep, and the pig bones and pig offal were not wasted. Under Hobert's guidance, he made a simplified version of Chaotianguo.

With the blessing of chili and aniseed ingredients, the aroma immediately attracted everyone.As soon as it was cooked, Hobert only ate a few chopsticks before being eaten up by the subjects of the territory.

The joy of the people has not diminished. Although there are many pigs and sheep slaughtered, they are not enough to feed 3000 people. Residents in the town and several surrounding villages spontaneously brought bread and vegetables, so that everyone can eat enough at noon , Even the mutton soup and pork soup are completely drunk.

They've been paying taxes for as long as they can remember, and taxes are a burden on everyone here.

But it was different now, this burden was suddenly gone, and they felt their waists straightened a bit.

In the afternoon, many people chatted excitedly in front of the Lord's Mansion, and spontaneously helped the servants wash the pots and dishes.

Hobert ordered that no one should drive them away, and they could talk for as long as they wanted.

At the same time, Hobert also asked Philip to send someone to the Viscount Teutonic's mansion opposite Full Moon Lake to ask for Grove.

When night fell, Fors smiled and said at the dinner table: "I just realized today that happiness is really contagious.

"Obviously the tax exemption does not make me very happy, but after seeing their smiling faces, I will still be happy for them."

Hobert smiled: "Yeah, it made me feel a lot better."

Helen who was on the side asked, "You don't collect taxes anymore, what do so many people in the Lord's Mansion eat?"

"Of course it is to buy food from the people!" Hobert smiled and said, "After the tax is not collected, the food in the territory will definitely increase, and the price of food will definitely decrease.

"Before the interests of the people are harmed, the Lord's Mansion will purchase a large amount of grain. As there is less grain on the market, the price will naturally stabilize.

"The food in the hands of the people has been turned into money, and it can further prosper the economy of the territory. It serves multiple purposes."

Helen opened her mouth, she really wanted to ask: Did you already have plans?
But she felt as if she should ask: why do you know so much?
But in the end, she still didn't ask anything.

After dinner, when he returned to the yard with Fors, Hobert said, "Come and find me in the study at nine o'clock. I have something to ask for your help."

Forsi was taken aback, and nodded.

When he came to the study, Hobert locked the door and entered the "Nation of Disorder".

He checked the seal on the figure again, which was now clearer. It was a handsome young man, about 20 years old, and he could still be seen with brass-colored hair.

Hobert thought about it for a while, and there is still no better way to send him out of the "land of disorder", so he can only wait for a while.

Then Hobert felt the changes brought about by the promotion. First of all, he could control more territories of the "Nation of Disorder", and his consciousness could cover the largest water pool under the mountain.

There are many, many stars in it, and the functions of these stars are not yet known.

In addition, his strength in all aspects of "Nation of Disorder" has been greatly enhanced, and the magical items in "Nation of Disorder" have also been greatly improved.

Especially in the real world, more power from the "Nation of Disorder" can be mobilized, and with the ability to hide the aura of the "Nation of Disorder", there will be no such thing as suddenly encountering Philip I or George III.

And Hobart has gained a new ability in "The Kingdom of Discord": Forbidden!
This is a high-level "forbidden!"

Hobert's spirituality guided him to look at the two new stars in the pool in front of him.

Combined with the "Forbidden" ability he just obtained, Hobert had a realization: "If you haven't encountered the Brass Book in advance, then these two new stars will only appear after you are promoted to 'Chaos Mentor'."

He suddenly realized that the meeting with Castile, that is, Philip I, somehow allowed Hobert to save the life of Philip I's descendant Ethel.

Hobert smiled and shook his head: Fate is really wonderful.

After inspecting the "Nation of Disorder" again, Hobert broke off a "Tree of Order" and left the "Nation of Disorder".

Hobert took out the two cans of blood sent by Bishop Simpson, and found a thick enough pen.

When it was almost nine o'clock, Forsi came to the study, and Hobert explained: "I got the method of sealing the pollution of Full Moon Lake from my father, and I plan to seal the source of the pollution tonight.

"But I need you to do me a favor, how about we go for a walk in Full Moon Lake?"

Hobart stretched out his arm, Fors held it and said with a smile, "No problem."

She was very curious about how Hobert would seal it?

The space in front of the two of them became illusory, and after entering the spirit world, they came to the shore of Full Moon Lake in an instant.

Not far away, there is the corpse of a giant beast that looks like a big ship. There is a fire on the other side of the corpse, and two guards are guarding the corpse.

The moonlight tonight was not bad, so Hobert and Forsi came to the lake by the moonlight.

"I need you to use the freezing technique to create an ice layer in the lake that is about the size of the bed." Hobert then explained: "I need to draw a sealing circle on it.

"I thought about using paper, but after seeing water, the magic circle on the paper will immediately become blurred, so it is most suitable to draw the magic circle on the ice."

Forsi smiled: "Then you have to wait a little longer."

She released a "freezing technique" toward the water surface, and as a result, only a palm-sized ice layer appeared on the water surface, and it was very thin.

Hobert found a rock and sat down: "It's okay, you should just practice your extraordinary ability, and I can also practice mine."

"What do you practice?"

"You can try using 'freezing technique' again."

Forsi used the "freezing technique" again towards the lake, and the ice layer that appeared this time was as big as the surface of a square stool.

She was surprised: "God, how did you do it?"

Hobert smiled and said, "I tried to lower the temperature in that area."

This is the "chaos" ability, which can make the lake within five meters easier to freeze, and the longer it is used, the faster it will freeze.

Fors began to use the "Freezing Technique" continuously, and took a break after using it seven or eight times. The spirituality of Sequence 8 is too weak, and even this simple spell is a bit strenuous to use continuously.

While Fors was resting, Hobert suddenly asked towards the reeds, "Helen?"

The reeds parted, and Helen was still able to walk out gracefully on the river beach full of rocks: "Your spirituality seems to be stronger."

Hobert asked, "Why are you here?"

Helen smiled: "Can't I come for a walk?"

In fact, she came to connect with the informant of the Gnosis Society's development in the West Bank, but she did not expect to meet Hobert and Forsi.

Hobert smiled and said nothing.

When Forsi had rested, they continued to make ice. Suddenly, a crystal-like ice gun pierced into the water, and a large area of ​​water around the ice gun formed a hard layer of ice.

Helen smiled and said, "Although I don't know what you are doing, I can help."

While speaking, she threw two more ice guns into the water in succession, and soon the area of ​​the ice layer reached Hobart's needs.

Forsi was a little unhappy: "Look at the ice surface you made, it's uneven!"

Helen snapped her fingers, and the ice immediately became smooth.

Forsi said to Hobert angrily: "I feel that I am in very good condition, and I will be preparing for promotion tomorrow!"
