Walking and stopping along the way, Hobert felt the enormous changes in the territory. The people were highly motivated in their labor in the fields and on the construction sites, creating more wealth than before.
The key was that they themselves could get a considerable portion of the wealth they created.
Many new houses had appeared in the villages, tall and beautiful, with red bricks and red tiles.
It wasn't that the people here also felt that red was festive, but because the brick kilns in the territory could only produce red bricks and red tiles.
More were houses that were half-built or under construction with the help of neighbors, relatives, and friends.
That was hope, that was the future.
But after arriving at the new territory, the situation changed drastically.
The people here were indifferent and numb, there were few people in the fields, and the crops were growing far less vigorously than what he had seen in the morning.
So the inspection speed was much faster, and in the evening, they arrived at the former Viscount Wright's manor.
It had long been abandoned, with only the tall walls and huge lawn proving its former glory.
Hobert had heard from the original servants of the Lord's Mansion on the way that the scenery here was quite good, but when he arrived, it was already evening, and the surroundings looked like ordinary grassland.
Wild rabbits had already made their nests here. Hobert shot a few casually while walking with Fors. He handed one of them to a servant: "Roast it, I'll use it to entertain guests later. The rest are for you."
While waiting for the roasted rabbit, Fors, who was already a little hungry and had started eating bread with jam, was still marveling at what she had seen and heard today.
It was the first time she had felt such a strong sense of comfort. Hobert had brought about earth-shattering changes in the lives of the people, so they welcomed Hobert with their greatest enthusiasm and supported his rule.
"This world has become accustomed to establishing rule through violence," Hobert suddenly said with emotion, "Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that the essence of this world is madness."
"Haven't the Beyonders of the 'Lawyer' and 'Arbiter' pathways ever thought about making this world a better place, so that more people would support their rule?"
A voice suddenly came from the darkness: "They should have had someone think of that."
A middle-aged man with a meticulously groomed beard and hair came out of the darkness into the camp, and the guards immediately pointed their guns at him.
Hobert smiled and said, "That's my guest."
Everyone did not relax their vigilance because of this, but only stopped pointing their guns at the other party.
The person who came was Jonathan, whom Hobert had planned to meet during this inspection.
Jonathan suddenly had several bullets in his hand. While playing with the bullets, he sat down opposite Hobert: "But the problem is, they immediately realized a problem: what's the use of ordinary people's support?"
At this time, the surrounding guards realized that the bullets in their guns were gone.
Jonathan casually threw the bullets in his hand at the feet of the guards. He originally thought that these guards would immediately bend down to pick them up, but who knew that they would load another bullet into their guns and stare at Jonathan.
Seeing Jonathan's slightly surprised expression, Hobert smiled: "Didn't you expect that ordinary people could also look you in the eye so firmly?
"As long as someone supports them, they are not as servile as you think."
Jonathan glanced at Hobert: "But they still have to rely on you, and ultimately they still have to rely on the extraordinary."
Hobert took a deep breath: "Yes, that's a problem.
"In fact, if ordinary people are allowed to develop, they can also create weapons with destructive power comparable to gods, and they can also use their methods to land on the moon and travel through the sky."
Jonathan smiled and shook his head: "Young people are still imaginative."
Hobert also smiled and did not continue to discuss this topic: "How have you been lately?"
Jonathan nodded: "The negative effects have all disappeared."
Hobert grunted and said bluntly: "I've had some feelings during these two weeks on the West Coast. You people don't know what rule is.
"Hand over the governance of the East Coast to me, and I will make it more prosperous, and it will attract more people. I will still not interfere with religious matters. If you have conflicts with the Church of the Earth Mother and need me to mediate, I will come forward."
Jonathan agreed to this very readily: "Okay."
But then he added: "But I have a condition."
"Speak."
"Talk to me about your faith."
Hobert was stunned, looking at Jonathan: "It's the first time I've preached to a demigod."
Fors was slightly stunned. She remembered that Hobert was a believer of the Evernight Goddess in Backlund, and after coming to the Kingdom of Feynapotter, he became a devout believer of the Earth Mother.
She couldn't help but think: Did this demigod of the Theosophy Order want to believe in the Earth Mother?
In the previous battle, Fors had seen Jonathan from afar. Later, Hobert introduced him to her as a demigod of the Theosophy Order.
"The Lord awoke from chaos and saw that the order of the world was so unbearable, that morality was no longer the standard for measuring whether a person was good, but money was; violence filled every corner of this world and was whitewashed by gods and rulers; vicious thugs lived a good life, while those who truly loved life and were kind toiled all day long and had no time to enjoy life."
With Hobert's current eloquence, this kind of thing came almost without thinking, and like the "Bible" of various churches, it would start from human nature and on a large scale, expounding the core ideas.
He continued: "So the Lord sighed: 'Humanity in the Fifth Epoch is more miserable than in the Second Epoch, at least in the Second Epoch, humans rarely killed and deceived each other.' Therefore, the Lord intends to overthrow the existing order and establish a new order for the world!"
As he spoke, Hobert suddenly realized that he was actually connected in this way with the honorific name he had racked his brains to come up with before, but which was very devaluing.
He didn't know whether his honorific name determined the cause he would pursue in the future, or whether the cause he would inevitably pursue in the future determined his honorific name in reverse?
Jonathan was slightly stunned when he heard these words: "Your faith is easily at odds with all the gods!"
Fors also realized: Isn't this the doctrine of the Church of the Earth Mother?
But Hobert smiled and said, "The god I believe in has already found an ally."
It's just that that ally is only Sequence 6, no, almost promoted to Sequence 5.
Jonathan guessed: "The Earth Mother?"
"No." Hobert said: "My relationship with Bishop Simpson is purely my personal behavior to develop the territory."
Fors wondered: What is Hobert's true faith? Why haven't I ever heard him mention it? Uh, maybe it's because I don't care much about the issue of faith. "Mr. Fool" may be my most devout faith, but now that I think about it, unless I have something to trouble Mr. Fool with, I have never performed daily prayers! No, this makes me seem too impious. I will perform daily prayers to Mr. Fool every day from now on, but, but it seems very troublesome, well, three days... once a week for daily prayers.
Jonathan was very curious: "Your unique way of developing the territory is not from the instructions of a god?"
"No, as long as we develop according to His outline, He rarely interferes with the affairs of His blessed." Hobert was telling the truth.
Jonathan fell into silence, and after a long while, he suddenly asked: "Do you know the origin of the Theosophy Order?"
"I've heard of it roughly." Hobert replied: "The Theosophy Order seems to be a branch of the Demoness Sect."
Fors was stunned again. She heard such high-level intelligence in the real world for the first time.
Jonathan asked again: "Aren't you curious why the main members of the Theosophy Order are Beyonders of the 'Apprentice' pathway?"
"According to the information I have, after Mr. 'Door' of the Fourth Epoch fell, the Demoness Sect took the opportunity to harvest some of the Beyonder characteristics of the Abraham family without the protection of angels." This was actually Hobert's guess.
Fors sighed: Hobert knows a lot, he even knows Mr. 'Door', but he doesn't know that Mr. 'Door' didn't fall, but was sealed. Thinking of this, she felt somewhat emotional: As expected, the information obtained at the Tarot Gathering is very high-end, and it is a secret that most Beyonders do not know! Mr. Emperor knows so much!
"Mr. 'Door' did not fall, He was just sealed," Jonathan corrected.
Fors, who was cutting off a rabbit leg and eating it, smiled slightly: As expected.
Jonathan then said: "I don't know how much you know about the history of the Fourth Epoch, but what I can tell you is that when Mr. 'Door' was first sealed, the power of the Demoness Sect was basically in the Southern Continent, and they had no time and space to deal with the Beyonders of the Abraham family."
Hobert was slightly stunned: That's right, I didn't think of this before.
Jonathan continued: "After Mr. 'Door' was sealed, the Abraham family split once. They split with the Tamara family... Do you know the Tamara family?"
"Yes." Hobert nodded: "I've killed many people from this family."
Jonathan was slightly stunned. What was that supposed to mean?
Hobert smiled: "You go on."
Jonathan cleared his throat: "At that time, the Abraham family and the Tamara family often intermarried. Some relatives of the Tamara family in the Abraham family advocated joining the Tamara family, while many other clansmen planned to maintain the independence of the family and be ready to welcome the return of Mr. 'Door' at any time. This was the first split of the Abraham family.
"But the members who joined the Tamara family soon ushered in the second split. The reason for the split was very strange. It was said that the god found by the Tamara family to exempt the clansmen from the curse had problems, and the Tamara family desperately wanted to cultivate a 'Planeswalker' for some reason.
"I need to explain to you the curse of the Abraham family..."
"I've heard of that curse," Hobert said: "Is it that you hear some maddening whispers during the blood moon?"
Fors also nodded: I am a victim of this curse.
Jonathan sighed: "You know a lot of secrets."
He thought again, and felt that this seemed to be taken for granted, after all, Hobert had an organization behind him, and a god.
Jonathan showed a puzzled expression: "In theory, the Tamara family helped find a god who could help the clansmen avoid the curse, and cultivated a 'Planeswalker', all of which were good things.
"But I don't know why, the clansmen still split at that time.
"Well, only a few people know the inside story of this matter, and those few people do not include me.
"After the split, our elders contacted the Demoness Sect and received the protection of the 'Primordial Demoness'.
"But because our ideas are so different from the Demoness Sect, the Demoness Sect had to establish the Theosophy Order."
Hobert tore off a piece of rabbit meat and handed it to Jonathan: "I didn't expect there to be so many secrets."
Jonathan shook his head with the rabbit meat and said: "Didn't you hear the problem? The 'Primordial Demoness' is a... well, okay, you know, She is not a righteous god.
"What I find strange is, why did those elders who have passed away join the Demoness Sect? What is the difference between this and the previous problematic god?"
Fors was slightly stunned, she didn't expect there to be other branches of the Abraham family.
Hobert sighed: Choosing the lesser of two evils.
He said: "Have you ever thought that perhaps the god found by the Tamara family could cause you more harm than the 'Primordial Demoness'."
"I have thought about this question, but I really can't figure out, what harm can be greater than a god in a bad state?" Jonathan asked somewhat confused.
Hobert knew very clearly that there was! But he forgot what it was, he still remembered that some memories that could not be carried outside were sealed by himself in the "Nation of Disorder", so he did not delve into it.
Jonathan did not continue to dwell on this issue, but said again: "Some of the high-level members of the Theosophy Order are from the Demoness Sect, and some are saints of the Abraham family.
"Currently I know that three saints of the Abraham family have been completely influenced by the 'Primordial Demoness' and have begun to fanatically believe in the 'Primordial Demoness'.
"And I and the other two demigods of the Abraham family still remember the agreement with the Demoness Sect a long time ago, the 'Primordial Demoness' helped us avoid the curse, and we helped the Demoness Sect do some things that they were inconvenient to come forward to do.
"But there are still too many clansmen of the Abraham family who have been corrupted, they have been completely brainwashed by the Demoness Sect, and believe that killing a person is helping them be liberated."
He sighed: "I have also been affected to some extent, for example, at certain times, my subconscious will think that I am a woman, or I will feel the irresistible charm of the 'Primordial Demoness'.
"If there is a chance, I don't want to continue to be influenced like this, and I don't want the clansmen to be immersed in the bewitchment of the Demoness Sect and completely become vassals of the Demoness Sect."
Hobert probably understood Jonathan's appeal: There is a group of Theosophy Order members with Jonathan as the main leader who hope to break away from the Theosophy Order! Hiss~ The rift between the Theosophy Order and the Demoness Sect, or rather the rift within the Theosophy Order, is deeper than I thought!
