Under the awning in the eastern mountains, Hobert watched the pouring rain outside with a cold face.

His concern earlier wasn't entirely feigned, but it wasn't enough to make him lose his shoes in a panic.

Hobert opened his spatial magic leather bag, took out his shoes, and put on a vest, instantly making him look more composed.

After re-buttoning his cuffs, Hobert waved to Angus at another awning, inquiring about what had happened.

After listening to Angus's description, Hobert suddenly remembered a document he had seen before, sometimes "Mountain God" Megali would display her power somewhere on Longtail Island.

For example, causing a certain area to lose direction, or fundamentally disrupting the order of a village, and so on.

Was Fors's encounter a coincidence?

Hobert took a deep breath and gently waved his hand. Angus immediately noticed that the raindrops within his sight no longer fell, but were suspended in mid-air, which surprised him slightly: the Earl's power seemed to have become stronger.

Whoosh~

Four or five seconds later, the raindrops seemed to finally escape the strange power's constraints, and continued to fall to the ground with great momentum.

Just now Hobert didn't feel any abrupt power, so he got up and took a step unhurriedly, appearing five kilometers away when his foot landed.

Angus in the awning was a little surprised and excited. He was completely sure that the lord was now a Sequence 3.

He was excited because only the patriarch in the Tudor family was a Sequence 3, and it was very difficult to become the patriarch. Anyway, Angus knew that he would not be able to become the patriarch in his lifetime.

But serving "The Creator", becoming a Sequence 3 didn't seem difficult, and it didn't seem to be the ultimate peak.

A few minutes later, Hobert returned to the awning, still finding no clues about the "Mountain God".

Sitting in the chair under the awning, Hobert saw that the frozen water droplets on the ground not far away were just beginning to melt.

This reminded Hobert of the "ice water whirlwind" he saw in "True Sight". The Mountain God's state seemed a little strange, because the "Black Emperor" pathway did not emit cold aura.

Although it was possible to "tamper" with the surrounding temperature to freeze the raindrops, there was no need to do so. The "Black Emperor's" main ability was "distortion", and lowering the temperature was only to create more favorable conditions for himself, or unfavorable conditions for the target.

For example, if the "Hunter" pathway used fire-type attacks, they could lower the temperature to make the enemy need to consume more spirituality to complete a normal attack.

At that time, Fors and Xio did not need to use temperature reduction to suppress them.

So Hobert was almost certain that the "Mountain God's" state was a little strange, making it difficult for her to suppress the cold aura she was emitting.

Hobert thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he waved his hand, and the surrounding rainwater suddenly changed its path and fell elsewhere: "Let's start again!"

So the next journey was a bit magical for ordinary people. The rain was still pouring, but not a single drop fell on the team members.

This would definitely expose the existence of extraordinary power to some extent, but Hobert didn't think he had an obligation to keep it secret.

He would still hide it before, but now that he has become a "Frenzied Mage", he is too lazy to hide it.

Moreover, the officials among these people basically came from the "Traveler's Gate", and these servants had just experienced an extraordinary event, they had already been exposed to the supernatural, so there was no need to keep it secret.

When they arrived at the river, the rain basically stopped.

Hobert saw that the river water had begun to become turbid, and even seemed ready to rush out of the river bank at any time.

The villagers on both sides of the river had begun to take their families and prepare to flee to higher ground.

As for the crops in the fields, they could not be taken away. Whether they could be preserved, and how much could be preserved, all depended on "the will of the gods".

On the way back, Hobert talked to the officials in charge of agriculture and water conservancy. Dams must be built, but how high and how to build them must be consulted with professionals.

Spend money when necessary, and don't save money on the planning stage.

After setting the tone for this matter, Hobert asked Angus to protect everyone back, and he took the lead to "travel" back to the Governor's Mansion.

After meeting Fors and Xio in the office, Hobert said calmly: "The matter of building the dam has been basically determined, and next we will begin to discuss how to build it."

Fors nodded: "I see."

Hobert said to Xio: "I have something to talk to Fors alone."

Fors said: "Is there anything Xio can't know?"

Obviously, she didn't intend to give Hobert a chance to talk alone.

Xio looked at Hobert with a smile, wondering how he would respond.

Hobert cleared his throat: "Okay, recently 'The Creator' is going to launch a war against the Demoness Sect in the Southern Colson area. The main participants have basically begun to gather in Southern Colson, they have..."

"Wait." Xio raised her hand: "I'd better go out."

She was not willing to have too much involvement with "The Creator" at the moment. If she knew the next plan of "The Creator's" forces, it would be difficult to avoid being involved.

Fors was also a little helpless. She knew her friend's thoughts and knew that such things should be kept as secret as possible, so she had to watch Xio open the door and leave.

"I mean, we have to do a good job of reception." Hobert smiled: "This is a good time to show the construction achievements of Southern Colson."

Fors rolled her eyes at Hobert: Why did he start talking about things that weren't secret again?

"How is the construction of the factory area?" Hobert asked as he walked towards the wine cabinet, only to find that there was no wine left: "Where's my wine?"

Fors, who was sitting on the sofa, replied: "I had someone take it away."

It wasn't that she was too angry to have someone take it away, but that Hobert drank too much wine at last week's tourism festival, so she had someone put all the wine away.

Hobert smacked his lips and had to pour a cup of tea: "I suggest we establish a work mechanism, because the next period of time is a critical period for the construction of Longtail Island.

"If we don't want the people here to be like they are now, braving the heavy rain and taking their children and the elderly to the open high ground to avoid floods, we can't be careless.

"In this regard, maintaining effective communication between you and me is very important."

Although Hobert's way of gaining sympathy was a bit shameless, it was very useful. Fors had always sympathized with the local natives, so she had always wanted to do something for them.

At the same time, Fors gradually fell in love with governing recently, because she saw that under Hobert's advocacy, the policies promoted by Mayor Kondra had greatly improved the situation of some natives.

For example, the miners, their working environment was much safer, and they only worked eight hours a day, and their diet was completely improved.

Fors clearly saw that their faces were no longer so sallow, and they also had some energy and spirit, no longer as numb as before.

At the same time, Fors also knew that her level was limited, so she had never interfered in the city government, but carefully completed the work that Hobert gave her: reviewing financial appropriations, paying attention to the observation of officials' abilities, and coordinating the supervision department to supervise the work of the city government.

And reviewing financial appropriations requires more consideration of the actual situation, so Fors has been touring around recently.

Hobert's suggestion, Fors had no reason to refute, so she began to talk about the recent construction of the industrial zone.

This is equivalent to acquiescing to Hobert's suggestion.

At present, the construction of the second batch of relatively technical industrial zones has been fully launched. Hobert directly used the name of "The Creator" to let Upton travel back and forth between Longtail Island and Backlund to coordinate these technical issues.

There is no problem with the planned construction of the second batch of factories, but there are many problems with the planned construction of the third batch of factories.

First of all, the third batch of factories is relatively technical, such as machinery factories, steam engine factories, shipbuilding factories, etc. Only Hobert can easily obtain relevant technologies through Mr. Digos for steam engine factories.

Even if Hobert uses the identity of the Earl, it is difficult to obtain other types of technologies.

The key is to establish corresponding research and development institutions to transform the obtained technology into processes that can be used for mass production. If this institution is set up on Longtail Island, it is difficult to recruit people.

Another problem is the construction land. The entire eastern plain of Longtail Island has been basically utilized, unless it is squeezing arable land, otherwise there is no large area of land available for factory construction.

However, there are many places in the mountains that are suitable for building factories.

Hobert calculated the time before saying: "I expect that the war with the Demoness Sect will be completely resolved within a week. Even if I fail, I will definitely severely damage the Demoness Sect.

"Longtail Island can develop with confidence, don't worry too much about the Demoness Sect's revenge."

He said: "Then the next step is to solve the problem of the Mountain God Church. There is no need to worry too much about the technical personnel problem. I estimate that by the end of the year at the latest, we can get whatever kind of talent we want.

"So after solving the problem of the Mountain God Church, these factories will start to be built!"

Fors was slightly taken aback, but did not ask why the technical personnel problem could be solved by the end of the year. Generally, Hobert said that it could be solved, it could definitely be solved.

After the work was finished, she got up and was about to issue an eviction order, but Hobert said again: "Let's talk about Xio's problem."

Fors sat down again: "What's the problem?"

"I only thought of it when I was inspecting just now, should I let Xio join 'The Creator's' forces?"

Fors nodded first. This was a good opportunity for Xio.

But she shook her head again: "Xio will not join at the moment."

"As long as you also think my idea is good, I can think of a way." Hobert said: "Sometimes, whether to join 'The Creator's' organization is not up to Xio to decide."

Fors did think that this idea could help Xio. According to her observation, so far, whether it is Hobert, a devotee of "The Creator", or Angus and others, who serve "The Creator's" power, there have been no obvious mental problems.

On the contrary, some people on the west bank of Full Moon Lake have become more mentally stable after they started praying to "The Creator".

Moreover, according to some information announced by Hobert at the Tarot meeting, and some actions of "The Creator", it shows that this is a very normal god.

Xio has no faith at the moment, if she can believe in "The Creator", that would be great.

However, Fors was still a little worried: "What are you going to do?"

"I can ask 'The Creator' to issue some tasks to Xio, so that Xio can gradually integrate into our group." Hobert said:

"After I leave in a while, you lie to Xio and say that when you prayed to 'The Creator' for help just now, 'The Creator' noticed Xio."

Such an operation made Fors a little confused: "Can 'The Creator' agree to such a request?"

That is a god, will he help Hobert solve such trivial matters?

"Doesn't Mr. Fool often provide us with help?" Hobert smiled: "Otherwise, why does everyone want to be a devotee of God?"

He paused and said: "I only need to pay some acceptable price, or complete other tasks, to offset this request."

Fors immediately said: "I will pay you the corresponding reward."

Hobert smiled: "No need, Xio is also my friend."

Fors was about to say something, but Hobert said: "If you really want to give me some reward, let the kitchen make an extra work meal, after all, it's almost lunchtime."

Fors opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't refuse.

Seeing Fors agree, Hobert whispered: "When you talk to Xio in a while..."

In the office, one person was responsible for coming up with ideas, and the other was listening carefully, and occasionally the two discussed it.

Lunch was eaten by Hobert, Fors and Xio together. Xio was a little surprised to observe Hobert and Fors. They casually talked about some things on Longtail Island, and there seemed to be no estrangement when they first met.

After lunch, Hobert left Longtail Island. He knew the principle of knowing when to stop.

It was already very good to get to this point today. This kind of thing should be done slowly, don't rush.

After Hobert left, Fors suddenly said to Xio very seriously: "Xio, there is one thing I want to formally notify you."

Her friend suddenly became so serious, and Xio was a little unaccustomed to it: "What's the matter?"

"When we were attacked by an unknown force this morning, I prayed for the help of 'The Creator'." Fors said: "Hobert just told me that 'The Creator' noticed you."

Xio was a little surprised, and immediately went to feel her spirit body and spirituality, and found nothing uncomfortable.

"Don't be surprised," Fors smiled according to the rhetoric that Hobert told her: "Hobert asked me to remind you that if 'The Creator' issues you any tasks in the future, then congratulations, you will have the opportunity to become a devotee of 'The Creator'."

Xio didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What's so congratulatory about this?"

Then she asked: "What tasks will 'The Creator' issue me? What if I can't complete them? Why would he notice me, instead of noticing you?"

Fors saw that Xio was indeed beginning to actively learn about the "Creator" as Hobert had guessed, so she began to tell her about what the "Creator" had done in the past year or so.

She didn't make a single summary statement, but the focus was on saying that the "Creator" was a very normal god, and how he helped the people at the bottom, and described this gaze as an opportunity.

She also said that Hobert was also at Sequence 7 when he received the attention of the "Creator" under some coincidental events. In the past six months, he has not only done many things to help ordinary people, but now he is already a demigod.

Xio had always felt that the "Creator" was a god who was both righteous and evil, but ultimately similar to evil gods like the "True Creator" and the "Primordial Demoness."

Listening to Fors's narration, and recalling the scenes she had seen on Longtail Island recently, there was no sign of bloodiness or distortion at all, but instead it was filled with a beauty of a new order.

The more she heard, the more Xio felt that this might really be an opportunity.

...

Hobert returned to Backlund to continue preparing for the war.

He estimated that he might spend less time in Backlund recently, so he first asked Chief Georgina for a leave of absence.

Hobert didn't have any actual responsibilities in MI9. He was usually just slacking off at work, so he could take leave whenever he wanted.

Then, Hobert took a carriage to Earl Hall's mansion, first visited Audrey's mother, Catherine, and presented a gift.

Today, Earl Hall and his eldest son, Hibbert, were not at home, so Hobert came to visit Catherine first.

Catherine didn't have a good impression of Hobert, but she didn't have any malice either. The reason she didn't have a good impression was mainly because there were too many bad rumors about Hobert before. In her opinion, he was not a stable nobleman.

The reason she didn't have malice was because Hobert was indeed very capable and had many ideas. He always brought unexpected surprises.

Considering that Hobert was likely to marry his daughter in the future, Catherine still received him warmly.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, Hobert made a request to see Audrey.

Although this was not in accordance with the rules, after all, their "relationship" had not been made public, Catherine did not refuse.

So, Hobert met Audrey, who was having afternoon tea in the garden.

She was wearing a relatively loose long dress, and her hairstyle and jewelry were relatively casual, but matched with her beautiful face and perfect figure, these clothes and jewelry became radiant.

Beside Audrey, there was a golden retriever lying down. There was half a bowl of dog biscuits in the food bowl in front of it, and another bowl of water. It seemed to be enjoying a pleasant afternoon.

Seeing Hobert, she stood up and smiled: "Hobert, I thought you had forgotten me."

Hobert smiled and quickly stepped forward, picked up Audrey and spun her around: "How could I? My little elf."

The moment Audrey was picked up, she was taught to be reserved since she was a child as an aristocrat, so the first thing she thought of was to break free, but she soon felt that being held and spun around was quite exciting, so she only left "giggling" laughter.

After all, this was Earl Hall's mansion, so Hobert couldn't do too much. So he put Audrey down, took her hand, and kissed the back of her hand: "Because of that little boy, I've been quite busy lately."

Audrey nodded slowly and asked the servant to serve Hobert tea and snacks.

She asked with a smile: "You won't have time to attend the ball next Thursday, will you?"

Next Thursday, Duke Christian will hold a ball to announce the two's "relationship."

Hobert sat next to Audrey: "Of course I don't have time. Next Thursday, I'm going to dance the opening dance with the beautiful Audrey at Duke Christian's ball. I don't have time to accept your invitation."

Audrey was stunned for a moment before she understood Hobert's joke: "Hobert, you seem to be different from before, but... but that's good."

Originally, she wanted to say "but I like it very much", but the habits she had developed since she was a child prevented her from expressing it so directly.

Hobert took a sip of tea and smiled: "That's because I was Earl Hobert before, but now I'm Miss Audrey's lover."

Audrey's cheeks were a little red: "That's really good."

Then she asked: "I heard from my father that 'Earl's Light' has started selling equipment for manufacturing light bulbs?"

Audrey smiled: "It is said that many shareholders are very surprised by this."

In the past few days, she began to pay attention to the operation of "Earl's Light" in an "open and honest" manner without any concealment. Earl Hall usually helped her pay attention to information in this regard. Only Hibbert expressed dissatisfaction with this and repeatedly reminded Audrey to be reserved.

Hobert tasted another piece of snack: "This is also the reason why I don't want to see those shareholders, because it's too troublesome to persuade them one by one. Facts will 'persuade' them."

Then he asked: "Would you like to take a position in 'Earl's Light'?"

Audrey was slightly stunned: "I'm already working in a charity."

Working before marriage is the main way for noble women to experience life.

"It's up to you." Hobert smiled: "I just think the decision-making level of 'Earl's Light' is too young and I'm a little worried."

Currently, the top decision-makers of "Earl's Light" are Hobert's two confidants, Todd and Upton. The middle level is several noble children from Backlund. At the same time, the decision-making level has also absorbed several grassroots worker representatives.

Although these people do not have shares, they have bonuses in addition to their monthly salary.

Audrey smiled and shook her head: "Hobert, I'm younger than those managers. If I participate, their average age will be younger, right?"

"The meaning of your joining is different." Hobert said very seriously: "My strategy is generally no problem, but I'm just afraid that they will do something inappropriate when I'm not here.

"As long as you are in 'Earl's Light', even if you don't do anything, they will think more about it when making decisions."

In fact, "Earl's Light" currently completely follows Hobert's decision. The company's decision-making level is more like a department that discusses how to implement Hobert's decisions.

Audrey immediately said: "After going to 'Earl's Light', I want to do some practical work."

"Of course!" Hobert smiled: "You can be the CFO."

Audrey was stunned: "I don't know much about finance."

"That's why I want you to be the CFO." Hobert said: "Specific affairs can be left to professionals. The CFO doesn't necessarily know everything.

"Well, I'll find you a teacher to familiarize yourself with the specific business while working."

He smiled and said: "Your main responsibility is to supervise the source and destination of every penny, so that there will be no situation where a roll of toilet paper in the factory costs 3 pounds to buy."

As the daughter of a banker, Audrey immediately understood that Hobert wanted her to supervise and spend the money where it should be spent.

The two chatted about "Earl's Light" and the ball next Wednesday for a while, and Hobert got up to say goodbye.

Audrey didn't ask how far the investigation into the little boy's matter had progressed, or what Hobert had been busy with during this period, but just reminded Hobert to be careful.

After coming out of Earl Hall's mansion, Hobert took a carriage to Christian's mansion.

Similarly, after discussing the ball, Hobert told Christian about his upcoming actions in South Colson and asked him to participate in this action to cover up any possible accidents.

Christian knew that Hobert might have a close relationship with the "Creator", but he had never asked about it.

Today, Hobert asked him for help, and he agreed very readily.

After having dinner with his parents and younger brother at the Duke's mansion and chatting for a while, Hobert returned to the Earl's mansion.

Arriving at the study, Hobert called Dennis over again, because Dophis had already gone to South Colson yesterday. During this period, Hobert planned to leave the Earl's mansion to him to manage.

After explaining this matter, Hobert sat at his desk and considered his arrangements for the next few days.

Thinking about it, he thought of Fors again, and thought of Audrey.

Suddenly, Hobert recalled a question. It was not long after he was promoted to "Earl of the Fallen". Hobert was very worried that if he continued to be promoted, his humanity would become weaker and weaker, and he would become more and more cold.

At this time, Hobert suddenly realized that after being promoted to "Frenzied Mage", his humanity not only did not weaken, but was even warmer than before.

He realized that this was likely the influence of Fors and Audrey, as well as his parents, sisters, brothers, subordinates, and others.

In theory, friendship, family affection, and love can all strengthen and solidify humanity.

Hobert also recalled his previous conversation with Trunsoest, who said that Auernia gave him a lot of humanity. He, a "Justiciar", at least a "Prince of Abolition", could get more humanity from his queen.

Hobert is now a "Frenzied Mage", and can get double the humanity bonus from Fors and Audrey.

For a Sequence 3, this kind of humanity is enough to resist its divinity, and even for Sequence 2 it should be enough.

Along this line of thought, Hobert also thought that although his humanity did not show any signs of being weakened, it did not mean that divinity had no influence on him at all.

Hobert thought carefully about his behavior in the past two days, and he noticed that he seemed to hate the current rules more and more. Whenever he encountered any rules, he always wanted to break them.

Just like yesterday when he went to visit Dr. Allen, he could have used a mystical item to change his appearance and take a taxi to "see a doctor."

But at that time, Hobert felt very annoyed by the middle class's habits of visiting and so-called decent behavior, so he simply pretended to be an acquaintance of Dr. Allen to visit.

Even if it would cause some trouble afterwards, he felt it was acceptable.

Now, looking back, Hobert realized that he had been breaking some of his habits and some of the principles he had set for himself for a while.

But at that time, he was not so disgusted with normative things. This was obviously influenced by divinity unconsciously.

Regarding this point, Hobert felt that he should be alert, because some rules are not necessary to break, or it is not cost-effective to violate some rules.

When encountering such rules, don't violate them if you can.

Taking a deep breath, Hobert calmed down and used "Travel" to come to the Lord's Mansion in South Colson.

After letting the servants clean up the bedroom for him, Hobert went to the villa area to meet Lawrence of the Balk family, as well as Barnett of the Tudor family and Osmund of the Tony family.

Hobert only personally greeted them when they came. After that, Hobert asked Donna, who had been promoted to "Sheriff", and the housekeeper Dophis to entertain them.

In the past few days, Donna took the people from the three families to tour the entire scenic spot, as well as the plantation on the west coast, and the factories and farmland, and explained to them the current governance policy of South Colson and some special policies.

At this time, the three families had a deep understanding of the South Colson area. The first thing they realized was that the power of the "Creator" also had a place in the northern continent where the seven orthodox churches gathered.

Don't look at the small South Colson area, with a population of only more than 100,000, but as long as there is such a place, it shows that the "Creator" has been widely recognized in the northern continent. At least the organization that serves the "Creator" is not like the Aurora Order and the Demoness Sect, which are well-known secret organizations.

Secondly, they realized that the policies in this territory were very different from other places, which seemed to be showing some will of the "Creator".

This made them further realize the influence of the gods on the real world.

Finally, there was their mutual guess that the reason why Hobert brought the three families together was to make the power loyal to the "Creator" seem less thin.

So the three families felt that they were just a part of the "Creator's" power.

After Hobert met with the heads of the three families separately and briefly talked about the arrangements for the next few days, he used "Travel" to come to the highest peak on the east bank of Full Moon Lake.

Under the moonlight that was still bright tonight, Hobert stared blankly at his territory in front of him.

At this time, Hobert felt a little unreal. At this time last year, he was still a college student with only 15 pounds of pocket money.

Now Hobert doesn't even know how much his assets are. As soon as he has time, he thinks about how to spend the money.

As for his current identity, he is already an earl, with two territories, thousands of subordinates, a regular army of 3,000 people, and nearly 800,000 subjects.

And all this happened in the past year.

This made Hobert not only feel that this mysterious world was magical, but his fate also seemed very magical.

Thinking of the large-scale Beyonder war he was about to organize, Hobert couldn't help but feel a little excited, with a bit of arrogance that "the world is in my hands."

"Your advancement speed is as fast as taking a train!" Bernadette's voice suddenly sounded.

Hobert looked over along the voice and saw Bernadette sitting on a swing surrounded by flowers and vines. The rope of the swing seemed to be tied in the void. In short, the top of the rope could not be seen.

Bernadette looked a little unreal, like a character in a TV or movie.

She was wearing a very smart shirt and a pair of neutral trousers, with boots that had long shafts.

Her hairstyle was very fashionable, but distinctly different from the hairstyles of women in the Northern Continent, looking very elegant and unrestrained.

Coupled with Bernadette's stern expression, Hobert had the illusion of meeting a beautiful woman in the square downstairs in his neighborhood.

Bernadette swung forward on the swing and jumped off the swing surrounded by somewhat illusory flowers and vines, standing right in front of Hobert.

She immediately became real, without any sense of illusion.

And the swing and flowers behind her disappeared.

Hobert smiled slightly, answering like a charlatan, "These are all gifts from the Lord."

Bernadette didn't continue the topic, but asked, "I heard you're going to have a Beyonder war?"

"Yes, the opponent is the Demoness Sect." Hobert said, "If you participate, I will pay you a certain reward. As for the spoils, the sealed artifacts can be yours, and the Beyonder characteristics must be mine."

Bernadette asked again, "Do you have a chance of winning?"

"Currently, the odds of winning are not small," Hobert replied.

Bernadette pondered for a moment and said, "What kind of reward are you going to give me?"

Hobert smiled and said, "A 'Mysticologist' Beyonder characteristic."

He obtained this Beyonder characteristic from the second Aurora Order demigod he killed. It's useless to keep it in the 'Nation of Disorder,' so it's better to trade it with Bernadette.

Hobert added, "Of course, if there are no demigod-level Beyonder characteristics among your spoils, all the spoils of Element Dawn must belong to me before you can get this Beyonder characteristic."

The conditions Hobert offered surprised Bernadette. Element Dawn currently only has two demigods, and Bernadette is one of them.

Although Cattleya is about to become a demigod, she is still one step away. Moreover, she is ostensibly a member of the Moses Ascetic Order.

Even if Cattleya is promoted, Element Dawn's high-end combat power is very limited. This is why everyone knows that Element Dawn is fighting against the Moses Ascetic Order, but they have never heard of them breaking out into large-scale battles.

It is because Element Dawn has always lacked high-end combat power, so they try their best to avoid decisive battles. The Moses Ascetic Order is a relatively loose organization, so the two sides have been confronting each other for more than a hundred years, but rarely break out into battles.

Bernadette smiled and said, "Sounds like a good deal."

She said, "But in addition to these rewards, I also want a promise from you."

Hobert asked, "What promise?"

"If I need certain help, you can't stand by and watch." Bernadette said, "Of course, I will also pay you."

Hobert probably guessed what kind of help Bernadette wanted him to do: "No problem."

Bernadette nodded: "Tomorrow, the Beyonders of Element Dawn will arrive at your lord's mansion one after another."

Hobert said, "I will do a good job of reception."

He added, "The day after tomorrow, around 10 a.m., we will hold a war meeting, please be sure to attend."

"No problem." Bernadette agreed, stretched out a hand, and the swing she had just sat on reappeared, still unable to see where the top of the rope was.

Then flowers and mysterious vines appeared. Bernadette sat on the swing and said, "Goodbye!"

She swung forward and disappeared from Hobert's sight.

Having invited the last foreign aid, Hobert also returned to the lord's mansion to rest.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, a picture suddenly appeared in Hobert's mind.

It was Emlyn informing Hobert through Mr. Fool that the Sanguine had decided to send a demigod to participate in the war.

Hobert sat up and smiled helplessly: "Do these Sanguine like to discuss things in the middle of the night?"

However, while "The Fool" had not yet returned to bed, Hobert immediately prayed to "The Fool", asking Mr. Fool to tell Emlyn: The war meeting will be held the day after tomorrow, please the Sanguine rush here quickly, and please the demigod participating in the war be sure to attend this meeting.

Then Hobert asked Mr. Fool to tell "The World", and also invited Mr. World to attend the meeting.

After doing these things, Hobert was no longer sleepy. He guessed that Klein should have been woken up by Emlyn and was now sleepless!

Thus, Hobert looked at the ceiling and thought about things, until dawn.

On Friday morning, Fors also came early, because many people were to be received today.

First, the Temperance faction of the Rose School, led by Sharon and two other demigods, arrived in three batches.

They are different from the Balk and other families, belonging to foreign aid forces, and are relatively considered guests.

Therefore, Hobert and Fors had to personally receive them, so as not to be rude.

They basically gathered in Backlund and then came through the "Traveler's Gate" set up by Hobert.

At noon, the forces of Element Dawn arrived in two batches.

They used ancient space witchcraft, arriving from the sea and the Northern Continent respectively. Currently, only some members of Element Dawn know how to use this witchcraft.

In the afternoon, Sanguine Earl Rosalind led more than a dozen Sanguine, including Emlyn, to arrive.

At this point, all the foreign aid forces have arrived.

After entertaining these foreign aids, it was already past four in the afternoon. Hobert and Fors had just arrived in the study to drink tea when the butler Allen reported that Mrs. April had arrived.

Hobert hurried to the front yard and met April, who was waiting in the main hall. She looked radiant, and her mental state was even better than the last time they met.

April also seemed to re-examine Hobert: "Child, you look more energetic."

Hobert smiled slightly: "Mother, are you, are you okay?"

"Thanks to the black jade ring you gave me." April said, "It helped me get through the most difficult time."

Of course, Hobert's call of "Mother" also played a big role.

Hobert was very happy: "That's good, that's good!"

Then he said to Fors, who came in from behind, "Quick, tell the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner!"
