Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 539 Jeffrey City where demigods gather

When Archibald and Schill led the team to arrive, Hobert immediately gave them a task: "Go to each town and village to inspect. After the power of the true Creator left, many people should have turned into monsters. !

"Your first mission is to clean up these monsters, and your second mission is to lead these converted people to promote the name of the 'Creator'!
"Archibald, announce the name of the 'Creator' to the Extraordinaries in the army and tell them how to pray. If you encounter large-scale resistance from the followers of the true Creator, pray to the 'Creator' immediately.

"If you encounter an out-of-control monster, destroy it immediately! If you encounter an ordinary person who shows obvious signs of losing control, destroy it immediately!"

As the Aurora Society lost its rule over this territory, the true Creator's gaze left here. Previously, these had accumulated a large number of crazy and twisted believers in their bodies, and the balance in their bodies was destroyed, so they would turn into monsters.

As for the so-called "ordinary people who show obvious signs of losing control", Hobert is temporarily handing over the power of life and death to the people of the new territory to the security forces in order to eliminate those unrest factors.

Many times those unstable factors can be easily eliminated from the source before they become unstable!

But if someone is sent to report to Hobert at this time, the best opportunity will be lost.

Of course, in order to prevent the defenders from becoming the source of chaos, Hobert added: "But you cannot rob the locals' property! Once discovered, in addition to returning the property, you will also be issued a military certificate!"

Watching the defenders leave with the converted believers, Hobert suddenly realized: Can the "State of Disorder" be used to establish an instant information communication mechanism?

Then the "workers" of the "State of Disorder" will have new business to deal with.

Hobert left his position in the church and began to sit at the port.

At noon, Conrad, who was the third echelon, led the team. In addition to bringing many grassroots officials, he also recruited construction workers on the construction site, transported a large amount of supplies, and was temporarily responsible for the logistics of the defense army.

The already dilapidated pier became lively. Based on the experience last time, the construction workers buried pots at the pier to cook, and set up tents in advance, ready to live here for a while!

In the afternoon, they will also set up camps in various towns under the protection of the security forces, so that the security forces stationed in various places can have hot meals and tents to live in.

After lunch, Angus and other members of the Special Operations Department returned. This meant that all the Extraordinaries on the bright side of the Aurora Society had been driven away or killed.

Hobert said to Angus: "You will lead the first team to station here first and cooperate with the security forces' cleanup operations. When the situation here stabilizes, you will also leave one Sequence 6 and several team members to station here!"

He said to Helen again: "You lead the team back to protect Jeffrey City!
"In addition, you two captains must tally battle losses and merits as soon as possible. Members who died in the line of duty shall be dealt with according to previous precedents."

"We have just made preliminary statistics." Angus spoke and handed a report he had prepared long ago to Hobert.

Helen also prepared a similar report and handed it in together.

Hobert nodded, and after they left, he briefly looked at the report and found that the reporting styles of the two captains were completely different.

Angus had already made up his mind to break away from the Tudor family and completely surrender to Hobert, so his report did not consider the interests of the Tudor family at all.

From last night to now, the special operations department has eliminated a total of 58 Beyonders from the Aurora Society, including the three "shepherds" eliminated with Archibald's help.

The first team eliminated 36 enemies and seized 9 sealed objects. 4 of these sealed objects were found from the enemies, and the other 5 were sealed objects formed by the enemies.

Angus also noted in the report: Extraordinaries of the "Secret Prayer" path can easily lose control before death and become sealed objects.

The first team seized 9 pieces of extraordinary properties from sequence 5 to sequence 31. The members were willing to exchange these extraordinary properties for meritorious deeds.

As for those sealed objects, since there are already regulations for applying for sealed objects, the members are also willing to exchange the sealed objects for achievements.

This shows that the members of the first team did not consider the interests of the Tudor family at all.

After the battle, 9 members of the first team will have the opportunity to be promoted. Hobert thought about the extraordinary characteristics in his hand, which are enough for these members to be promoted.

The end of the report is the death of members of the first team. Because this battle was a surprise attack, and in the early battles, the situation was very unfavorable for them. The casualties in this battle were higher than the previous attack on the Blood Worship Cult. A total of five members died.

Let’s look at the report of the second team. Logically speaking, they should have killed 22 enemies, but they only handed over 1 sealed artifact and 12 extraordinary properties. Apparently, the other extraordinary properties and sealed artifacts were all handed over to the Gnosis Society. .

This left only 2 of their members eligible for promotion.

There were also three people in the second team who died in the line of duty. Hobert calculated that he had to pay a total of about 36000 gold liso this time.

But compared to the harvest, this compensation is nothing.

Hobert asked Fors who was standing aside to prepare the money and wait for the relatives of those who died to collect it.

That afternoon, all the loot arrived at Hobert.

When Angus came to deliver the trophies, Hobert, who had been prepared for a long time, said to him: "Although your current achievements are not enough to obtain the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Punishing Knight', you performed well in this battle. , I will make an exception and give you the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Punishing Knight' in advance.

"You need to explain this clearly to the members. Because my fiefdom on Longwei Island needs a Sequence 5, I gave you extraordinary characteristics in advance. The merit you owe will still have to be made up in the future."

Angus tried hard to hide the ecstasy in his heart: "Yes! I will explain clearly!"

So Hobert gave Angus a total of 10 extraordinary characteristics, including the "Punishing Knight".

In addition to the extraordinary characteristics given to Angus, there are 6 "sheriff", 2 "interrogator", and 1 "judge" extraordinary characteristics.

Those who are qualified for promotion to "Sheriff" are basically new members. According to Hobert's redemption rules, it is more difficult to redeem them when they reach "Interrogator".

Those who obtain the extraordinary characteristics of "Interrogator" and "Judge" are basically members who have accumulated meritorious service in the previous battle.

Hobert turned to Angus and said: "In addition, tell the members of the Tudor family that whose family members want to become extraordinary people can apply for civilian jobs in the Special Operations Department or work in the town government.

"If you perform outstandingly, the Lord's Mansion will provide the 'Arbiter' potion for free."

Generally speaking, members of the Extraordinary family have received a certain level of education, and are at least much more educated than the residents of the territory.

Once this decree is issued, it should further alleviate the shortage of manpower at the grassroots level.

For Hobert, he can also make use of the extraordinary characteristics of the "arbiter" in his hand.

People who join the Special Operations Department are generally Extraordinary, which makes the Extraordinary characteristics of the "arbitrator" path in Hobert's hands useless.

Currently, Hobert has 14 pieces of the "Arbiter" extraordinary properties. If they are sold, they won't fetch much, so it's better to make use of them.

Seeing Angus leave happily, Hobert smiled slightly. With so many incentives this time, it is estimated that more members of the Tudor family will join him, without him having to actively poach.

Even if the patriarch of the Tuduo family comes to visit, Hobert is not afraid. By this time, Christine should have been promoted to "Chaos Hunter", and "Bull Demon King" and "Sea-Overturning Sage" can be used multiple times, and he He is also a demigod, enough to stop the demigods of the Tuduo family from asking for guilt.

Besides, the family members came willingly, so what qualifications does the patriarch have to ask questions?
Suddenly, Hobert felt his own potion being digested. He was slightly startled: it was indeed the "Fallen Earl". He had just thought about how to harm people when the potion was digested!
Then he thought: It might be that he caused members of the Tudor family to betray themselves, which caused the potion to be digested. After all, betrayal is also an immoral act.

While Hobert was summarizing the rules of potion digestion, Helen also came to hand over the spoils of war.

"The performance of the second team this time can only be said to be good or not bad." Hobert took out the wooden box containing "The Parotid Gland of the Black-spotted Warthog!": "So Angus got the opportunity to be promoted exceptionally, and you Only one main material can be obtained.”

After this battle, the strength of the first team will be greatly improved, while the strength of the second team will not be significantly improved.

Helen smiled sweetly and said, "This is already pretty good."

As long as she gets this main material, she can also complete her promotion through the Gnosis Society.

But she still couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She had made so many contributions to the Gnosis Society, but she had waited several years to get only one piece of Sequence 5 main material.

In Hobert's case, he only participated in two battles and got another main material.

I believe that after this battle, the members will be full of complaints against the Gnosis Society.

Because some team members could have been promoted, but because they had to hand over their loot to Gnosis, they were unable to get the chance to be promoted.

It is precisely because the strength of the second team has been limited that they can only go back to defend Jeffrey City, which means there is even less opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

Seeing Helen leave with some disappointment, Hobert actually felt the potion being further digested.

There was something wrong with this. He clearly had no intention of continuing to poach the gnome community, so why would the potion be further digested?

However, Hobert soon learned the reason: Schier came to report that the defenders had completely controlled the west bank of Full Moon Lake and presented Archibald's loot.

Hobert immediately realized that this was the digestion of the potion by the Dominion aspect.

After becoming a "Corrupted Baron" and establishing effective rule in the territory, or having certain interactions with the people of the territory, the potion will be digested accordingly.

As for the name of the potion like "Count", it may mean that it must have at least a territory as large as a count and effectively rule it, so that the potion can be effectively digested.

Hobert recalled Ethel's words. Before, the entire South Colson area was the territory of an earl. Now this territory is all his. After driving away the people of the Aurora Society, what happened to the people of the original West Bank? A huge change, which prompted Hobert's potion to digest a large part.

This gave Hobert new impetus to establish effective rule on Longtail Island.

After settling the important matters, Hobert sent Forsi back to the east coast and asked her to take charge on the east coast.

However, the backyard of the Lord's Mansion had become a ruin, and it was difficult to repair it for a while. Hobert carried the "Traveller's Gate" to the Green Manor and installed the "Traveller's Gate" here.

At the same time, Forsi was promoted to an "astrologer" under the care of Hobert.

I originally planned to be promoted on Monday, but it has been delayed until now.

Because he was very successful in playing the role of "Magic Master", there was not much danger in this promotion. After completing the promotion, Hobert felt a lot more relieved. After all, "Astrologer" is like an enhanced version of "Soothsayer" , most of the time you can foresee the danger coming.

After Fors was settled, Hobert continued to the west bank to take charge.

In the evening, Bishop Simpson, wearing the bishop's robe of the Mother Earth Church, came to Hobert's tent and congratulated him on unifying the South Colson area.

The two chatted for a while, and Hobert talked about his new territory: "Is the Earth Mother Church interested in preaching to Longtail Island?"

Of course interested!
Bishop Simpson smiled and said: "I think the church will not refuse any opportunity to spread the glory of the Mother Goddess."

"But there is a condition!"

Simpson was stunned for a moment and made a "please speak" gesture.

"I will need a lot of rubber in the near future, and I heard that there are many rubber trees in Longwei Island!" Hobert had already thought of the conditions: "I hope that the Church of the Mother Earth can help increase the production of rubber trees."

Simpson breathed a sigh of relief: "This is simple. I can apply to the church to send a 'biologist' or 'druid' who has research in this field to lead the team!"

Hobert asked: "Can we triple production?"

"Three times? Is this such a low requirement?"

This time it was Hobert's turn to be stunned: "How many times do you expect to increase production?"

"On the original rubber trees, the yield can be increased by at least five times. If new varieties are cultivated, it is not impossible to increase the yield by ten to twenty times!"

Hobert thought to himself: What kind of oil does the **** need?
Then, he asked a question that had been in his mind for a long time: "According to my observation, the priests and bishops of the Mother Earth Church generally like to help farmers improve the varieties of crops, vegetables and fruits, but in the Kingdom of Feneport, you seem to Not too involved in agricultural production?”

If the wheat production in the Kingdom of Feneport can increase tenfold, one Feneport can feed the world's population!
Bishop Simpson smiled bitterly: "Not every ruler thinks about ordinary people as much as you do."

He paused before further explaining: "In the eyes of the royal family and the prime minister and other rulers, the church should only care about people's beliefs. Priests and bishops are people who serve the gods and should not interfere with the specific rule of the kingdom."

Hobert nodded slightly. It seemed that the church had reached some agreements with the secular government a long time ago. Even if the church had the power to rule a kingdom, they would not do so.

Because their main task is to serve the gods, if they participate in the management of specific affairs, they will lose the sense of sanctity and fairness of the clergy.

That’s why the extraordinary people of the Church of the Mother Goddess of the Earth love the earth very much, but on the other hand they are not able to actively participate in agricultural production.

But it was another matter when Hobert and Grove took the initiative to ask them for help. On the surface, they were reluctant, but in fact they were already happy.

Bishop Simpson added: “I didn’t quite understand this problem before. It was only in recent years that a large number of farmers went bankrupt, and I realized that it was wise for the church not to participate in agricultural production.

"If food becomes cheaper, more farmers will go bankrupt and more people will go hungry!"

Hobert nodded: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Of course he could hear that Simpson's words were reminding him not to just increase production and harm the interests of the people.

Simpson added: "I have one more thing here."

This time it was Hobert's turn to make the gesture of please speak.

"I hope to acquire a batch of extraordinary characteristics of the 'Secret Prayer' path."

Extraordinaries of the "Secret Prayer" path are like rats crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats them, but their extraordinary characteristics are very popular with the Orthodox Church.

Because magical items made from these extraordinary characteristics generally have a wide range of applications, although there is a high possibility of negative effects such as the true creator's crazy ravings, the base of official extraordinary people is large.

Use this for 3 minutes and that for another 3 minutes, and the negative effects of magical items will be basically offset.

"Come back tomorrow morning." Hobert said, "Because the loot has not been tallied yet, I will sell you a batch after the tally is done.

"Well, sequences 9 to 7 will be given to you at the base price, and I will add some premium for sequences 6 and 5."

Bishop Simpson nodded readily: "No problem!"

After sending Simpson off and having dinner, Hobert had time to enter the "State of Disorder" to check out the spoils of the battle.

Sitting on the "Iron Throne", Hobert first stretched out his hand to summon the sealed object formed by the "Black Knight". It was a square, square leather structure like a kerchief, which looked like it was emitting dots of black starlight.

Its ability is: "The holder can herd the souls of seven extraordinary people, three of which can be demigod-level souls. After completing the herding process, he can choose three of the other party's abilities at will; he can use flesh and blood magic, It causes a violent explosion of flesh and blood, causing a certain mutation in the target's flesh and blood; it can be turned into a pool of flesh and blood and hidden in a very small space, making it difficult for extraordinary people below angels to discover the whereabouts of the holder."

In Hobert's view, compared to other level 1 sealed objects, the negative effects of this sealed object are not very serious: "This sealed object can easily make the holder lose control. If there is a tendency to lose control, it will become very serious. , which was originally only slightly out of control, will become completely out of control; every 10 minutes, you will hear a burst of murmurs. If you carry it for less than 10 minutes, you will not hear it. However, you must stay away from the sealed object for an hour before you can continue to carry it, otherwise time will continue. Add up. Some of these ravings are crazy and twisted, and some are ways to become stronger, but no matter what kind of ravings, if you listen to them too much, you will easily lose control, or start to believe in the true Creator devoutly."

It's just that for Hobert, the negative effect of this sealed object is not serious, because he has a way to avoid it. As long as he carries an "Order Crystal", he can neutralize the first negative effect.

The second negative effect is easier to avoid. You can use the power of the "State of Disorder" to seal it for an hour in a few minutes. In this way, Hobert can perfectly avoid the second negative effect.

In addition, the most powerful thing about this sealed object is actually its ability to "herd". If it can herd three demigods, this sealed object can be raised to a whole level.

But this is not easy to do. The demigod is already the archbishop of the Orthodox Church. Even if he does not hold any public office, he still works as a reserve force in the former Kingdom of God.

For example, there are 13 archbishops and 9 deacons in charge of the Church of the Night Goddess, half of whom are at the demigod level.Don’t think that the Church of the Night Goddess only has 11 demigods. Hobert remembered that Arianna, the “hidden servant” who helped Klein several times later, was the abbot of the Night Monastery. She was not the only one in the Night Monastery. people.

As far as Hobert knows, every Orthodox Church has such a similar organization, which arranges some unsociable demigods and Sequence 5s into a "department". Wherever support is needed, it can be dispatched immediately. .

In secret organizations, demigods are the absolute top leaders and are difficult to hunt.

Therefore, the "Black Knight" that Hobert killed today only herded the evil spirit of a "Law Master".

The other extraordinary characteristics captured from the "Black Knight" are all at the Sequence 5 level, namely the extraordinary characteristics of "Dream Walker", "Desire Apostle" and "Pain Witch".

It's just that his "grazing" ability was stolen by Hobert at the beginning, which caused the "Black Knight" to lose an important offensive ability.

This is the wonderful use of sealed objects. If it is a "thief" demigod, it will be of no use after stealing the ability of "grazing", because he does not have a soul to "graze", and it can only make the opponent lose the most. Just a powerful attack capability.

For Hobert, this is of great help, allowing him to launch further offensives.

Immediately afterwards, Hobert began to review the battle in which he killed a Sequence 4 for the first time. He felt that the "Black Knight"'s tactics should be easy for Klein to crack. After all, he only needed to look at the spiritual thread to find it. other side.

Then Hobert realized that even if he failed to steal the "Black Knight's" ability to herd, he could still kill the opponent, because after all, the opponent only herded a demigod-level evil spirit. In addition to his shadow abilities, he was hard to guard against. , the explosion caused by flesh and blood magic can no longer hurt Hobert.

Finally, Hobert thought of the effect achieved by using his two abilities together, such as "chaos + tampering", which can temporarily "strip" some powers!

There is also "distortion + tampering", which can distort things that Hobert doesn't know the specific situation or even what the specific thing is, but it conforms to some extraordinary laws.

But this premise is that Hobert must be very clear about this rule.

This made Hobert realize again: "Black Emperor" is really the "Shadow of Order", and he can even have "combination skills"!In other words, skills that take advantage of loopholes in the rules of extraordinary abilities.

Overall, this battle was quite fruitful, allowing Hobert to sum up some tactics for facing demigod enemies.

After naming the sealed object obtained from the "Black Knight" "1-109", Hobert tried to use the "Power of Order" to change its appearance, and finally turned it into a leather bracelet, which was more convenient to carry. .

Putting "1-109" on the stone platform containing level 1 sealed objects, Hobert went to look at the trophies handed in by other team members.

Thanks to Archibald's timely support last night, the special operations department achieved considerable results with minimal casualties.

When they raided the West Bank in the early morning, the Special Operations Department used more troops to fight fewer troops, and Hobert was present. During the entire struggle on the West Bank, only one person was injured, but no one died.

As soon as Archibald met Hobert, he had secretly stated that as long as he could add a secret puppet, he would be able to hand over all the loot he gained.

Therefore, the spoils obtained in this battle were also considerable. First of all, there were 11 sealed artifacts. Angus turned in 9 items, Helen turned in 1 item, and Archibald turned in 1 item.

As Angus said, Beyonders of the "Secret Prayer" path can easily form sealed objects.

10 of them are sealed artifacts from the "Secret Prayer" path, and one of them is a sealed artifact formed by the "Shepherd"!There is only one sealed item from the "criminal" path.

In addition, Hobert discovered a pattern. In such large-scale Extraordinary battles, Level 2 Sealed Artifacts are mainly obtained. Level 3 Sealed Artifacts are only easy to obtain when an effective Extraordinary Rule is established.

After Hobert sealed each sealed object, he began to check the extraordinary characteristics obtained this time.

这次战斗一共获得了53件非凡特性，其中序列5“牧羊人”非凡特性3件，序列6“蔷薇主教”非凡特性10件，序列7“隐修士”非凡特性18件。

There are 8 pieces of Sequence 15 "Listener" extraordinary characteristics, and 9 pieces of Sequence 7 "Secret Prayer" extraordinary characteristics.

These seizures cost Hobert 36000 gold riso, 12 extraordinary characteristics, and an extraordinary material.

This made him sigh: No wonder everyone wants to be the boss!You really make a lot of money!

Hobert first divided a batch of extraordinary characteristics for tomorrow's transaction with Bishop Simpson.

Back in the real world, Hobert took a short rest and used "travel" to return to the East Coast. Because today is the 29th, there is a large-scale auction. Hobert will auction a piece at this auction. The "Judge" extraordinary characteristics, as well as the level 2 sealed item acquired from April.

The current auction house is basically self-sufficient, except for Hobert occasionally providing some popular items, or extraordinary materials traded from Little Sun, and extraordinary weapons traded from Daly. Collect something and sell something every day.

Fors was in charge of these things. After Hobert resealed the "reader" seal, he gave it to her to use. Basically, there was no need to worry about her being deceived.

The auction house's monthly income is now nearly 3 gold liso. If there are very popular lots in large auctions, the income will be even more!
This money was basically used for construction and daily expenses in the territory. It was with this income that Conrad and the others had the confidence to say that the future construction of Jeffrey City would not require Hobert to continue. Invested.

This large-scale auction attracted many forces to participate. Hobert even saw Bernadette wearing a hood in the corner. It seemed that she was more interested in the sealed item after seeing the list of items. .

This time it still starts with an extraordinary weapon. It is said that the wealthy people in the Kingdom of Feneport are already very keen on getting an extraordinary weapon.

Because the threshold for using this weapon is low, ordinary people can also use it.

The next few auctions did not cause any disturbance. The penultimate auction was the extraordinary characteristic of "Judge", and the bidding price quickly exceeded 12000!

Although there is no "rich man" like Ethel this time, the royal family also sent someone, the "Law Master" Buck who was planning to take over here!
The order he received was to buy the Extraordinary properties of this "Judge", so this Sequence 6 Extraordinary property was finally sold for a high price of 16500 gold liso.

Everyone was disappointed, but then they seemed to see hope: since Hobert's auction house could get one piece of "Judge"'s extraordinary characteristics, it would definitely be able to get a second one too!You can try trading privately!
The last item to be auctioned was the Level 2 Sealed Artifact. After introducing the abilities and negative effects of the Sealed Artifact, Hobert said: "As we all know, Level 2 Sealed Artifacts, especially Level 2 Sealed Artifacts whose negative effects are easier to avoid. , which is rare on the market!

"The base price of this lot is 8000 gold liso. Each time the price is increased by 1000 gold liso, the auction begins!"

"9000!"

"10000!"

Buck said calmly: "12000!"

This price once again puts ordinary nobles out of reach.

Hobert could not tell whether he was happy or angry and said: "Okay, 12000 once! This opportunity is rare, is there anything higher?"

Bishop Simpson bid: "13000!"

"15000!" Buck bid while showing the majesty of a demigod. He hoped to use his own pressure to force Hobert to end the bidding quickly.

Compared to Ethel, Buck was a bit petty in doing this, but it worked very well. The nobles around him sat in their seats and didn't even dare to breathe, let alone bidding.

Of course, Hobert would not tolerate such deceitful behavior. He also showed the coercion of a demigod, which made the nobles in the front row almost kneel down.

Hobert still said calmly: "15000! This person's bid reached 15000! Is there any higher? Such an opportunity may not be available in recent months!"

"16000!" Simpson said, and at the same time he seemed unconvinced, showing the pressure of being a demigod.

Buck chirped: When did that bastard Hobert get promoted to Sequence 4?
The majesty of the demigods he showed before made other demigods very unhappy with it.

So Jonathan, the vice-president of the Gnosis Society, also showed his demigod aura: "18000!"

Buck opened his mouth: There's a demigod here?This, this auction has attracted some extraordinary organizations!

The difference between the impressions given by these demigods is that Buck is extremely majestic, Hobert shows obedience, Simpson makes people feel endless, and Jonathan makes people feel that the scene in front of them seems to be sudden. It became magical.

Other people participating in the auction did not dare to say a word. Some people wanted to escape, but their legs were trembling and they didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Some people's crotches were even wet. They never dreamed that just attending an auction, they would encounter several demigods competing in their auras.

In the corner, a loud male voice said: "20000 gold riso!"

He also showed off the aura of a demigod, an aura that was both very rigorous and placed great pressure on people.

Hobert was slightly startled, that was not Bernadette!It turned out to be a demigod that he didn't even know.

Buck swallowed and wanted to bid, but he suddenly felt that he didn't have the confidence to bid: it was just a level 2 sealed item, so why were there so many demigods?

Just when he hesitated, a crisp female voice said: "23000!"

A mysterious aura spread throughout the entire place, and the auras of the other demigods were weakened to varying degrees.

Except for Hobert, several other demigods were surprised: this was Sequence 3.

They immediately looked back, but strangely no one found the woman who was bidding.

This surprised them again. It didn't matter if others didn't find her. They were also demigods. Why didn't they find her?

"23000 once! 23000 twice!" Hobert smiled: "Is there anything higher? 23000 three times!"

Buck completely lost all confidence and wanted to raise his hand several times, but finally gave up.

"Deal!" As soon as Hobert finished speaking, the sealed object on the auction table disappeared, and there was a check in the box.

"Oh~"

The pressure on the demigods gradually dissipated. This operation caused everyone to exclaim. Even the few demigods present could not see clearly how the sealed object disappeared and how the check was placed on it.

Hobert smiled and shook his head: Like father, like daughter, so pushy!
But no matter how good it is, just now it can be regarded as "only hearing her voice but not seeing her person". The mysterious Bernadette must have given these nobles and rich people unlimited daydreams.

Today I frightened them quite a bit, and even made them lose their temper. If there was nothing else to attract them, many people would probably not attend the next auction.

In his wild thoughts, Hobert picked up the check and looked at it. It was exactly 23000 gold riso.

After the auction process was over, the gathering of Extraordinaries started as usual. Hobert himself had the reserve of Extraordinary items that a platform should have, and coupled with the accumulation during this period, he could satisfy the requirements of most of the Extraordinaries present. requirements.

After the party was over and the auction officially ended, the nobles and wealthy people began to relax in the "reception center" that had been built nearby and talk about what they had just experienced.

Unlike the previous lonely auction house, the entertainment venue on the back of the mountain has begun to take shape. Many nobles and rich people like to come here to spend money, because it provides them with a good social platform.

In normal times, the rich had no channels to contact these nobles, but it is different now. They are all members of the "circle of extraordinary people". They can chat over a glass of wine, and gradually develop friendships after meeting many times.

Especially after several beautiful and extremely charming ladies and young ladies came here recently, many rich people and nobles almost lived in Jeffrey City.

Forsi was managing these businesses secretly, and Hobert didn't interfere. After Forsi became a "traveler," Hobert didn't even plan to come forward for the auction house's large-scale auctions.

After everyone left, the couple sorted the checks in the huge auction hall and recorded today's income.

Forsi soon calculated the total income: "I made 47000 gold liso today!"

She sighed: "It would be great if I could make so much from every auction!"

A normal small-scale auction can only earn three to four thousand gold liso at most, and a large auction at the end of the month can only earn seven to eight thousand gold liso if there are no very attractive lots.

Half of the auction house's profits come from offline transactions, and as the auction house becomes more and more famous and has more and more buyers and sellers, the proportion of private transaction income is still increasing.

"Just do this once every three months." Hobert smiled: "The more high-end something is, the more scarce it should be."

Forsi nodded: "This money is enough to pay the compensation for those who died in this battle."

Hobert put his arm on Forsi's shoulder: "There will be another income from Bishop Simpson tomorrow. I don't know the exact amount, but there is no shortage of money in the territory recently."

The two discussed the recent large expenses in the territory. It was foreseeable that some assistance would be needed for the newly acquired West Bank territory.

Moreover, Hobert discovered that the growth of crops there was not very good. After harvesting the wheat, the local people had to immediately plant a season of main beams.

Before the main beam is harvested this season, some food assistance may continue to be provided.

But the aid can’t be too much, as long as people don’t starve to death.

After leaving the auction house, Hobert looked at the brightly lit buildings around him. In the surrounding darkness, the brilliance here seemed a bit out of place.

However, Hobert suddenly thought that the wine from the wine cave in the manor could be transported here for sale!Just leave enough for a few banquets.

Returning to Green Manor, Forsi said: "I am now an 'astrologer'. If you are busy in Backlund or on the West Coast, you can go."

The scene where Hobert sent her away from Backlund last night gave her the motivation to advance again. She has been thinking today: If I hadn't been lazy, I would have been promoted to "Astrologer" two days ago. Maybe it can help Hobert.

The reason why she avoided promotion was actually because the last time she was promoted, it left some psychological shadow on her.

"There's nothing busy elsewhere," Hobert smiled: "I just need a favor from you."
