Hobert nodded slightly upon hearing Philip's reply.

Perhaps with a Baroness, he could better play the role of 'Baron'.

Then he needed to 'find' a Baroness as soon as possible.

However, there was a more pressing matter today. Hobert called over the three teachers and the fifteen literate individuals: "Have you mastered those forms?"

After receiving affirmative responses, Hobert instructed them to move the paper, pens, and stationery from his courtyard to the front yard: "Alright, now, using the previous forms as a guide, transcribe at least three thousand new forms! The deadline is within two days."

During his inspection of the territory, Hobert estimated that there were just over two thousand people under his rule.

Everyone was stunned, which meant they had to produce 100 forms per person per day.

The female teacher said, "Your Grace, this is an impossible task."

They had tried it these past two days and could only produce one form in about 15 minutes, four forms in an hour. It would take 25 hours to complete this workload, but there are only 24 hours in a day.

Hobert took the paper and pen and smiled: "I know this task is challenging, but as long as you pay attention to the methods, it is not too difficult to complete.

"You have a total of 18 people, who can be divided into two groups. Then, break down this form into nine equally sized parts, with each person only responsible for the same part. This will greatly improve efficiency.

"I suggest dividing it into these nine parts. Give it a try."

They divided into groups and tried it according to Hobert's instructions, completing a form in nearly two minutes.

But instead of being discouraged, they were very happy. Of course, they knew that after drawing dozens of them, they would become very proficient in their respective processes, and then a group could probably produce a form in one minute.

Hobert smiled again: "If you complete the task, you will receive double pay for these days."

The enthusiasm of the dozen or so people was completely mobilized.

Hobert glanced at the motivated group and returned to his room alone to drink tea.

After lunch, Hobert came to check again and found that more than four hundred forms had been produced. If they worked overtime in the evening, producing 1500 forms today should not be a problem.

In the afternoon, Hobert took a nap and woke up around three o'clock, attending the Tarot Gathering on time.

When the members reappeared in the giant-like hall, sitting at the long copper table that seemed to have a long history, this week's Tarot Gathering officially began.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool." The Tarot Gathering entered the first segment: "Miss Justice's" greetings.

While "Justice" Audrey greeted everyone individually, Hobert was thinking about the candidate for Baroness.

Today, he already had some ideas: he could ask a female member of the Tarot Gathering to become his wife.

Although they were all in Backlund, Hobert's 'Travel' ability perfectly solved this problem.

They could be in Backlund in the morning without affecting their role as Baroness in Jeffery Town in the afternoon.

The current candidates were three: "Justice" Audrey, "Magician" Fors, and Xio, who had not yet joined.

Just as Audrey was greeting him, Hobert had already quietly eliminated her. The reason was simple: she had no freedom at all, and he believed she had no interest in being a Baroness.

Although it was only a cooperative relationship, Hobert felt that the probability of Audrey agreeing was very small.

Unless he personally went to propose to Earl Hall and won Audrey's heart.

Hobert knew that, at this stage, this was impossible. First, because he was only a Baron, and a Baron whose fief was in a remote area. Such a proposal would only be ridiculed.

Secondly, he was now a traitor, and Earl Hall would certainly not take this risk.

So Hobert turned his attention to Fors. Miss 'Magician' was very suitable!

First of all, she was already independent and had enough freedom, and she didn't have a proper job... cough, her working hours were flexible.

As long as he offered a price that made being a Baroness more profitable than writing books, and then explained the concept of cooperation to her, so that she wouldn't feel any psychological pressure, the probability of success should be high.

Moreover, Fors' image was also very good. Although she had not received noble training, her detached and lazy temperament was more attractive than that of a noble.

Hobert also remembered that Fors' figure was quite impressive. She might not have Helen's charm when using 'Bewitchment', but with his support, suppressing the other party was not a problem.

If it were Xio, it would be difficult to say. Helen would only think that Hobert was a pervert who liked 'a student who is still in grammar school'.

This would not only be difficult to suppress Helen, but would also make her more excited, and perhaps even try to sneak into Hobert's room.

Audrey, who had finished greeting, felt that Hobert's eyes were a little strange today, and his body language seemed to be planning something.

However, her attention was quickly drawn to "Sun" Derrick. "Sun" was obviously a little anxious.

Fors also felt that "Emperor" seemed to be staring at her chest for a moment, but another thing prevented her from thinking about this issue in detail.

Just last week, another case occurred where Tarot cards were left at the scene. This time, the cards left at the scene were 'Death' and 'Judgment'.

"Hanged Man" Alger was in a very good mood. He had become a Sequence 6, so this old fox did not even notice "Emperor's" strangeness.

Next was the time for everyone to contribute their diaries. Alger contributed three pages of his diary and communicated with Mr. Fool separately, not knowing what information he had exchanged.

However, Alger looked unusually excited after the separate communication, as if he had exchanged for some information that he thought was important.

After "Fool" Klein finished reading the diary, Alger turned his head and asked "Sun": "What did you learn from the former captain of that exploration team?"

Derrick honestly replied: "He is dead."

"Dead?" The other members were a little surprised, but "Emperor's" surprise was obviously half a beat slower.

Derrick briefly described what had happened a week ago. When he heard that the captain had suddenly lost control, Alger asked: "So, which elder saved you?"

Derrick's mouth opened little by little, his face full of surprise.

Alger spread his hands: "According to your description, the high-level members of your City of Silver are consciously letting people contact that guy to see if they can extract useful information from him. Then they will definitely carefully observe the changes at the bottom of the round tower.

"This is obvious. As long as you have enough knowledge, you can easily see it."

Audrey said somewhat depressedly in her heart: I didn't think of that.

Fors stroked her hair with a sense of shame: I didn't see it.
