join the Church of MissRaven and become a Sequence 9: Reader p atreon.com/KeyofStars for more chapters
A few minutes later, Hobert reappeared in Resurrection Square, facing Klein and Leonard who came to meet him, and said, "Sorry, I couldn't catch up."
Leonard's sorrow was evident in his expression: "Wh, what happened?"
Hobert's acting skills were already superb. He wore a forced smile, as if comforting Leonard, and as if comforting himself, "At least, she got her revenge!"
Klein, who had been skeptical about Daly's disappearance, now believed Hobert's words for a moment, and took the potion in sorrow and regret.
The three of them exchanged glances. Before the official Beyonders arrived, Hobert left using "Travel."
Leonard asked Klein, who was about to leave, "Are, aren't you going back to the Church?"
The space in front of Klein also became illusory. He turned his back to Leonard: "I can't go back."
After saying that, he stepped into the void.
Only Leonard was left at the scene with a look of loneliness, dealing with the aftermath.
Klein took his marionette and left the Southern Continent, arriving in Bayam and staying in a hotel.
He immediately entered the "Gray Fog", first understanding his own abilities after the advancement. After a short rest, he walked towards the staircase of light leading to heaven.
As he expected, there was another layer of steps there.
One step, two steps... He walked to the end, leaped, and stepped on the clouds formed by the gray fog.
What came into his view was a radiant gate stained with some cyan-black, composed of countless layers of light spheres.
Above the light gate, hung strips of black thin lines, suspending one after another almost completely transparent "cocoons."
These "cocoons" swayed gently, each wrapping different souls. Some wore jeans, some held mobile phones, some were dressed gorgeously, all with the aura of life, but with their eyes closed.
Klein's gaze suddenly froze, as if he had returned to Earth and was walking on a street full of people of all races.
Then he noticed that three "cocoons" had been broken open, empty inside, swaying in the wind.
Klein quietly watched: "Can't go back home..."
...
Hobert returned to Backlund and came to his study.
After taking a look at the note left on the table, he built a "Spirituality Wall" and recited according to the instructions on the note: "The second Blasphemy Slate contains the method to become 'Above the Sequence'!"
A few seconds later, there was no reaction around him. Hobert then entered the "Nation of Disorder" according to the instructions on the note.
The moment he sat on the "Iron Throne", all the memories he had sealed here were restored.
Hobert first used "True Vision" through his own star to look at the study with great unease. Fortunately, there was no priest with a light golden beard sitting in the corner.
He breathed a sigh of relief. The sentence on the note was actually a trick to lure Adam, just in case that guy followed him and secretly sat in the corner observing him.
Then Hobert realized: Why did I give him that "Order Crystal"? I haven't recovered the "Power of Order" in the crystal!
Thinking of this, he could only smile wryly. Expect a demigod to resist Adam's "psychological suggestion"?
If He wanted to, Hobert estimated that he would offer even his underwear with both hands.
Fortunately, disconnecting the "Order Crystal" from the "Nation of Disorder" would make it difficult for the "Order Crystal" to have any impact on him. The only impact might be that Adam would have one more miraculous item to avoid losing control.
Thinking of Adam's promise, Hobert felt that giving it to Him was fine, just consider it the cost of obtaining that Sequence 1 characteristic.
Thinking about it, Hobert showed a smile. At that time, he might only be Sequence 2 at most, but that wouldn't prevent him from getting the Sequence 1 characteristic first and hiding it in the "Nation of Disorder."
In addition, as long as Adam was willing to help, so that the Uniqueness could also come into Hobert's hands as much as possible, he would be quite content. Having a Sequence 1 plus the Uniqueness would be very stable.
However, what surprised Hobert was that, judging from Adam's tone, He didn't seem to have any plans to recover the "Black Emperor" Uniqueness and Beyonder characteristic?
He originally thought that after George III's advancement failed, Adam would immediately recover the relevant Uniqueness and Beyonder characteristics, preparing to create another "Black Emperor" who would be loyal to him at the right time.
Hobert pinched his chin and thought for a while, feeling that there was another strange thing about Adam.
At that time, he used the prepared speech to say that the "Creator" knew the meaning expressed by the mural and promised to support Adam in some areas.
This was from the bottom of his heart. In the coming period, the more chaotic the situation, the more beneficial it would be to the "Creator".
If Adam needed someone to stir up trouble somewhere, as long as it wasn't a stupid thing like the Backlund smog incident, Hobert would be happy to help.
Hobert mentioned the mural to express a kind of moral support, and had no other meaning.
But why did Adam still confirm it, asking if the "Creator" really got the result He wanted to know?
Wasn't the information to be conveyed by this mural the betrayal of the three gods?
Hobert smiled, about to feel that he was too sensitive, but suddenly he realized: Adam wouldn't think that the "Creator" guessed that the current Adam is the Ancient Sun God, right!
Thinking along this line of thought, it wasn't impossible. According to his packaging of the "Creator", it was an existence from ancient times and knew many secrets.
Since he knew many secrets, the "Creator" couldn't possibly not know about the shocking betrayal that happened at the end of the Third Epoch.
And Hobert had said twice that the "Creator" wanted to determine something through the mural, which was obviously a bit of a "ulterior motive."
Besides confirming that the Eternal Blazing Sun, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and the Lord of Storms betrayed the Ancient Sun God, what else could that mural confirm but that the humanity of the Ancient Sun God had recovered the Beyonder characteristics of the "Hanged Man" pathway, becoming the True Creator.
Then where did the Ancient Sun God's divinity go?
That was a divinity at the level of a Great Old One. The mental imprint of "Sea God" Kalvetua could still be used by Hobert many times. A Great Old One's divinity couldn't just disappear!
Among the few answers, one of them was: it awakened in Adam, who had the Uniqueness of the "Spectator" pathway.
After all, this pathway was also once controlled by the Ancient Sun God, so this guess was more reasonable.
Then Adam's rhetorical question: Did the "Creator" really get the result He wanted to know?
Was actually asking: Does the "Creator" know the secret I've been hiding for thousands of years?
Hobert covered his face. In a twist of fate, Adam had a lot of concerns about the "Creator."
No wonder Adam agreed so readily to the "Creator's" request. It turned out to be "hush money"!
Hobert sighed: Okay, things are already like this, I can't go find Adam again and explain to Him: Don't misunderstand, I don't know the secret of the Ancient Sun God, nor do I know your deep secret. I only know that the mural depicts the content of the Eternal Blazing Sun and the other three gods betraying the Ancient Sun God. I really didn't see anything else.
If I say that, will Adam curse people?
Hobert smiled. Forget it, the "Creator" does know a little bit of Adam's secret, so it doesn't count as being misunderstood.
What he was more thankful for was that he had sealed most of his memories about Adam at that time, so he would react without any signs of acting, making the most superficial answer.
Otherwise, Adam would definitely have a good "chat" with Hobert.
Finally, Hobert thought of the "butterfly effect" that Adam reminded him of. Hobert realized after careful thought that this was Adam's deterrence.
He was actually saying: I also noticed that the appearance of the "Creator" is a bit strange, so be careful.
Hobert smiled. It wasn't surprising that Adam could detect it. After all, the power of the "Creator" was already not to be underestimated, and Adam had to be forced to change the script.
However, the appearance of the "Creator" will trigger more and more butterfly effects, which is indeed something Hobert needs to pay attention to.
To a certain extent, when the butterfly effect becomes more and more widespread, Hobert will be equivalent to losing his God's perspective.
Even if some major events still happen as usual, some changes beyond Hobert's expectations will completely occur.
For example, the "Frenzied Mage" and "Chaos Hunter" that appeared in the smog incident.
After thinking for a while, Hobert felt that there was no better solution except to make more preparations when participating in major events.
Returning to the real world, Hobert thought that Klein would be very depressed for a period of time afterwards, and his state might be affected to some extent.
It would be good to pull him to participate in the upcoming tourism festival and let him feel the taste of the world.
The tourism festival was originally planned to be held in May, but at that time, he was busy with light bulbs and Longtail Island, and there were not enough people, so he had to postpone it again and again, until mid-July.
...
Southern Continent, Cooke City, Gold Bowtie Hotel.
Dunn sat in a chair, staring blankly at the rising sun outside.
His marionette stood aside, as if waiting for the master's orders at any time.
Klein felt something, and saw the space in front of him become illusory, and Hobert in full dress suddenly appeared.
"Friend, you look more listless than before," Hobert teased.
Klein opened his mouth, and for a moment he didn't know how to explain his mood to Hobert. In the end, he could only smile: "I just feel that life has suddenly lost its purpose."
"Hehehe." Hobert smiled: "Come on, I'll take you to drink."
Klein was about to refuse, but Hobert pulled him up without explanation: "Let's go! Food can heal all unhappiness!"
Then he asked: "Do you need to bring your marionette?"
At this time, the marionette standing there suddenly said: "Actually, I am Klein, the one you are pulling is the marionette."
"Are you sick." Hobert was a little dumbfounded: "Let the marionette sit in the easy chair and stand by itself?"
While speaking, he grabbed Klein and the marionette, and used "Travel" to enter the spirit world together.
In the spirit world, Klein suddenly asked: "Ms. Daly..."
"Don't ask." Hobert interrupted him: "If you ask, I don't know."
Klein nodded: "Okay."
It's good that she's still alive.
Leonard had never seen Hobert's rapier, but Klein had a deep impression of that rapier. It was very abnormal for that rapier to be in Daly's hands.
At that time, Klein was excited and was fooled by Hobert's acting skills, but after he went back and thought about it carefully, it was not difficult to guess that Daly's "death" might have been Hobert playing for Leonard to see.
Coming out of the spirit world, the two came to the study of the lord's mansion in South Colson. Hobert took out a 20 gold lira bill from his wallet: "Let's go, let's spend money in large sums!"
Klein looked at the two bills in his hand: "Are you sure it's in large sums?"
Hobert smiled: "Enough for you to eat your fill, drink your fill, and buy many souvenirs!"
Pushing open the door, Klein heard the hustle and bustle outside. Coming to the courtyard, he saw the small town at the foot of the mountain crowded with people, and every street was full of people.
Looking up, there were people everywhere on the mountain. The train had been circling Jeffrey City, but it was obviously unable to meet the needs of passengers. Many tourists began to walk up the mountain road to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Klein sighed: "This small town is so lively?"
The last time he came was to attend Hobert's wedding. At that time, Jeffrey City had not been built yet, and there were only a few villas on the mountainside.
Half a year had passed, and the small town in the mountains had already been completed. Just looking at the buildings made people feel that it was very prosperous here.
Hobert took Klein into the crowd. From Hobert's casual laughter with the owners of the shops and stalls on both sides of the street, Klein understood the first reason that attracted so much popularity: food!
There were all kinds of delicacies for sale on both sides of the street with the style of an ancient town. Klein was also polite and tasted grilled fish, fried shrimp, and fried cuttlefish that loves diving!
Especially the fried cuttlefish, it had a sense of sight of the "bombed big squid" on the food street in Klein's memory, and the taste was very similar.
There were also many sweets, including apple pie, pudding, potato flour pancakes that looked like spring rolls, Baklava popular in the Southern Continent, and handmade ice cream popular in the Northern Continent.
Not to mention those tourists who tasted the food while marveling, even Klein, who had been to many places and loved food, couldn't even name all the delicacies.
But they all had one thing in common: they looked delicious.
From Hobert's conversation with the stall owners, Klein learned that these vendors were basically local residents. The lord's mansion invested and provided them with free training, and also rented out the tools for them to make food.
They only needed to purchase the materials for making food to open a business on this street.
Hobert chatted all the way from this street, probably knowing how much income this tourism festival could bring to the residents. At the same time, he and Klein each ate a stomach full of delicacies.
Finally, the two sat down in an open-air bar, each ordering a glass of light beer to quench their thirst.
Klein looked at the street in front of him and sighed: "It's really unexpected that there can be such a food street here."
He had been to many places, but he had never seen a food street of this scale and so standardized.
The so-called gourmet street should have snacks and drinks from various regions, but the streets Klein had encountered before, which were full of delicacies, had a relatively single style, mainly local flavored food.
Klein's sigh was actually saying: I didn't expect to encounter such a gourmet street today.
"I've been planning this for a long time," Hobert said with a smile, "This street will have a very unique style throughout the Feynapotter Kingdom. It would be best if the middle class of the entire country would think of this street when they think of food."
Klein nodded: "No wonder it can attract so many people."
Hobert smiled: "The main reason for attracting so many people is the free accommodation, boat rides, and transportation for today and tomorrow."
Although the concept of a tourism festival is novel, few people have a corresponding concept at this time. Advertising the concept of a tourism festival in the newspaper may not be very effective. It would be more attractive to directly publish news about free accommodation and free round-trip boat tickets.
Klein was about to praise a few words when he suddenly saw Melissa. She was wearing a light-colored dress and a hat with lace trim, and was coming towards him while eating a serving of potato flour pancake.
This made Klein suddenly stunned. In the next second, he belatedly thought of changing his appearance, but then he realized that he had been using Dunn's face.
Melissa didn't come alone. Beside her were Selena, who was eating fried rice cake and had auburn hair, and Elizabeth, who had chubby cheeks and was studying how to elegantly eat the squid in her hand.
They also saw Hobert and came over to say hello.
Selena: "Teacher!"
Elizabeth: "Mr. Hobert."
Melissa: "Earl."
Hobert nodded with a smile: "How is this gourmet street?"
"It's great, teacher!" Selena said exaggeratedly, "If every day was a tourism festival, I would definitely come here every day!"
Hobert smiled: "Do you have enough money to eat all the delicacies?"
Elizabeth and Melissa were about to reflexively say: Enough.
But Selena had already said: "Not enough, not enough at all."
Hobert took out his wallet and gave each of them a 10 gold Solas bill. When Elizabeth and Melissa were about to refuse again, Selena had already accepted it for them: "Thank you, teacher! Hehe!"
Hobert smiled: "Go ahead."
Elizabeth and Melissa still wanted to say something, but Selena pulled them away.
After the three girls walked away, Hobert sat down again opposite Klein: "Melissa is highly appreciated by Principal Portland and is currently an assistant to this great scientist."
Klein looked at Melissa's disappearing back in the crowd: "I know."
Hobert finished the beer in his glass: "Let's go, let's go shopping again."
The two chatted while passing through the square and came to the newly built shops.
Klein found that there were also crowds of people here, and then he found the second reason that attracted so much popularity: the price of daily necessities here is very low.
The new shops all sell various daily necessities. Klein heard the tourists' inquiries, and after converting the currency, the price is about two-thirds of that of Backlund. Many commodities are even nearly half cheaper.
Many people are attracted by these tableware of various materials, clothing, shoes, and hats with local characteristics, as well as various kitchen supplies and other commodities.
Almost every tourist leaves with a lot of goods.
Moreover, there are eye-catching slogans everywhere: The prices of all goods in all stores here will not increase this year.
Klein couldn't help but ask: "How did you think of it? Attracting popularity by selling daily necessities at low prices?"
Currently, the cost of various daily necessities is one of the main expenses of the middle class.
Klein recalled that when he first came to this era, his formal attire cost most of his salary for the first two weeks.
The other expenses are food and entertainment. Not much money can be saved on food, and money cannot be saved on entertainment because it is related to decency. Therefore, people in this era can basically only save money on daily necessities.
Therefore, commodities that are two-thirds cheaper than the market price can save the middle class a lot of money. Some people even buy so much that they are a little crazy!
Hobert replied with a smile: "It just came to me naturally."
He winked at Klein, left the bustling commercial street, and came to a deserted street. Hobert pointed to the opposite bank of Full Moon Lake: "Do you see those factories?"
Klein saw many factories built together in the distance. Most of the factories had chimneys smoking or people coming and going to produce, while some were only half built and were still doing the final construction work.
"Originally, my idea was that the daily necessities produced there would be enough for the area to be self-sufficient, but in most areas of this land, people are still relatively poor and have very limited purchasing power.
"The deputy mayor here helped me calculate an account. If these factories operate at full capacity, the local daily necessities will be completely saturated by August at the latest.
"So I had an idea. It just so happened that the shops here had completely failed to attract merchants, so it would be better to sell the products from the factories there.
"The reason why the commodities here are relatively cheap is not only because the wages of the workers here are lower, but also because there is almost no freight."
Hobert smiled: "The reason why daily necessities are so expensive in many places is because the freight is too high. After all, there are only a few rivers in the entire Northern Continent, and no river can run through the entire territory of any country.
"Although railway transportation has gradually developed in recent years, it is ultimately not as cheap as water transportation."
Hobert pointed again at the bridge under construction across the river: "After that bridge is built, the freight can basically be ignored."
Klein sighed: "Listening to you talk about these things, I have a feeling of returning to the human world."
Before this, although he was very cautious in his actions, he subconsciously felt that he was participating in a game.
Hobert's introduction allowed Klein to roughly understand the production and economy of this era, as well as some internal administrative operating rules. This was something he had rarely been exposed to before, allowing him to have a more concrete understanding of the world.
Hobert smiled: "Change your appearance, and I'll take you to see something else good."
Klein was stunned. Why change his appearance again?
But he didn't ask, but listened to Hobert's suggestion and changed into a middle-aged man's face that Hobert was also unfamiliar with.
Then, Hobert used "Travel" in a deserted street corner to take Klein to a forest.
Outside the forest, there were entire fields of crops.
For the second season of crops, everyone planted them more casually. Some planted corn, some planted soybeans, and some planted potatoes.
The scattered fields of crops looked vibrant.
In order to prevent the crops from being trampled, this place does not receive tourists.
Hobert walked in front, chatting with the farmers in the fields, and came to the railway in front.
Then he stood here, seemingly waiting for something.
Klein didn't ask what he was waiting for, but smiled: "It can be seen that you are loved by the people here."
Wahhh~
At this time, a train came up from the mountain, slowly heading towards this side.
Hobert replied with a smile: "Because I have lifted the people here out of poverty and allowed them to live a prosperous life."
Then he sighed: "Everyone's requirements are actually not high."
Wahhh~
The train driver saw Hobert and honked the horn to pay tribute.
Many people in the back carriages also saw Hobert. The locals shouted: "Hello, Lord!" "Hello, Earl!"
The tourists also shouted: "Hello, Lord!"
The train was full, and even the aisles of the carriages were full of people.
The enthusiastic and smiling tourists also infected Klein, and a smile slowly climbed onto his face.
He watched the carriages pass by in front of him, and the smile on his face became more and more intense. When it came to the last carriage, he seemed to feel something and looked at the viewing platform at the end of the train.
The viewing platform was also crowded with tourists, but two of the passengers completely stunned Klein.
The two passengers were a man and a woman. The man was in his thirties, with a tall nose and deep eyes, but without the slightly high hairline in Klein's memory.
The woman was in her twenties, with green eyes, wearing a beautiful long dress, with a kind of enchanting beauty, but without the slightly old-fashioned blush and eye shadow in Klein's memory.
It turned out to be Dunn Smith and Daly Simone!
They were close together, as if chatting about the crops in the fields. Daly saw Hobert and pointed in this direction, then enthusiastically waved to Hobert. Dunn also extended his hand and waved it twice in a more restrained manner.
Hobert waved his hands, responding to their greetings and waves, as well as those of other passengers.
Klein raised his hand, and tears had flowed down his cheeks: "Captain, Captain, is that really you?"
He chased a few steps, but stopped again.
Without Hobert explaining, he also knew that Dunn and Daly had started a new life. He couldn't bear to disturb them, and even feared that others would disturb them!
Klein seemed to have all his strength drained, slowly sitting on the rails, sometimes joyful, sometimes sad.
After a long time, he seemed to walk out of his emotions and looked at Hobert.
Hobert smiled: "The world we live in has never lacked miracles. The future is a future full of hope. Even if the end is coming, we must create a hopeful future ourselves.
"As long as we have hope in our hearts, we will not be defeated."
Klein took a deep breath: "Give me a cigarette."
"I don't smoke." However, Hobert took out a cigar from his pocket: "But I guessed you could use it, so I prepared one for you."
Klein took the cigar, made a scissor shape with his other hand to cut it, tore off the paper bag, snapped his fingers and lit it.
He smoked the cigar bit by bit, enjoying the process of the cigar slowly shortening.
Hobert sat beside him: "Aren't you going to ask me how I resurrected Dunn?"
"What's there to ask?" Klein smiled with a cigar in his hand: "With my understanding of you, you will definitely make the captain's state as close to normal as possible."
Hobert patted him on the shoulder: "Should we go for a drink?"
Klein got up: "We have to celebrate."
So the two used "Travel" to return to Jeffrey City and found a bar to drink for an afternoon.
In the evening, the invited band began to perform, with music and singing.
Klein applauded and cheered with everyone in the crowd. The two met Fors and Xio on the street.
Xio smiled and said to Hobert: "This tourism festival model is very novel."
Fors sniffed and asked Hobert: "You seem to have drunk a lot of wine."
"I didn't drink much." Hobert smiled with a bit of drunkenness: "Just drank all the wine in a bar."
Even so, it didn't get the two demigods drunk.
Fors smiled and nodded. She was going to hide all the wine she could find after she went back, and not let Hobert find it for the next week.
After the band finished singing, it was time for the bonfire dance party.
In Feynapotter, there is a custom of holding bonfire dance parties during festivals. The streets quickly turned into an ocean of carnival.
Klein handed his top hat and coat to the marionette, and rushed to the most lively place to dance with everyone.
Hobert smiled slightly and joined the dancing crowd with Fors. This time it was a real dance.
Klein completely indulged himself today, changing partners one after another, dancing until late at night, until the bonfire went out, and until the streets were sparsely populated.
Looking at the firewood that was burned to only embers, he smiled with some unfinished business. His mood had never been so happy in the past year!
Taking the coat and top hat handed over by the marionette, Klein asked: "Where are Fors and the others?"
"They've already gone back to rest." Hobert smiled: "They're going to get up early tomorrow to watch the sunrise."
Klein nodded slightly: "I have to go back."
Then he sincerely said: "Thank you for your hospitality."
Hobert smiled and waved to him, watching him disappear into the void. It seemed that he had no psychological burden.
Back at the Lord's Mansion, Helen and Angus were already waiting here.
With so many people coming to the tourism festival today, it was of course a good opportunity for the Demoness Sect to gather intelligence.
But Hobert guessed that there were only two types of people who came to gather intelligence. The first were members of the Theosophy Order in disguise, so Hobert asked Helen to wait at the pier with many astrologers from the Theosophy Order Council. As long as their keen spirituality felt familiar people, they would investigate.
As expected, using this method, they caught more than a dozen people from the Theosophy Order.
The second type of intelligence gathering was from people from the Demoness Sect, but their level should not be very high.
Monica and several "Demonesses of Affliction" arranged many subtle and difficult-to-detect fine hairs on the main streets. Ordinary people would unknowingly break the hairs. Beyonders of the "Witch" pathway would have to get close to detect them, and then would subconsciously avoid them.
Even if they realized that this was a trap and pretended not to notice, they would have to break the hairs to move forward, but in this way, they would still be noticed by the "Demonesses of Affliction."
Using this method, they caught eight more people from the Demoness Sect.
After interrogation by Angus and the others, they managed to capture most of the spies, though not all of them.
Hobert praised the two captains and instructed Fors to record this achievement for both teams. After the Tourism Festival, they would need to prepare for the Demoness Sect's retaliation.
So, early the next morning, Hobert summoned the Messenger and informed Him that a conflict with the Demoness Sect was imminent in South Colson, requesting His second assistance and providing two 'Order Wood' pieces to prepare Him.
The Messenger accepted the 'Order Wood,' readily agreed, and returned to the spirit world.
Following that, Hobert, along with Elliot, went to the Southern Continent and met with Patriarch Lawrence.
After a brief discussion with Lawrence, Lawrence immediately convened the council of elders. The family elders, arriving promptly, were somewhat surprised to see the 'Blessed' sitting beside the patriarch.
Once the meeting commenced, Hobert, the 'Blessed,' spoke first: 'I am here to inform you that the 'Creator' is about to launch a large-scale war in the Northern Continent!'
Elder Calvin inquired, 'Sir Blessed, how much strength should we send to participate in the war?'
'Send all the elite forces!'
The elders were all very excited and rose together, ready to perform the gesture Hobert had previously taught them.
Hobert preemptively smiled and said, 'Now, I will standardize the 'Creator's' gesture. First, draw a horizontal rectangle on the left chest, representing the banner, symbolizing that all armed forces are loyal to the 'Creator'.'
'Then, draw a vertical line in the middle of the rectangle, representing the scepter, symbolizing that all government agencies are loyal to the 'Creator'!'
The so-called 'standardized gesture' was because the previous gesture was too casual. Hobert had used this time to devise a more meaningful gesture.
The elders were even more pleased. Since the prayer gesture had been 'standardized,' it meant that the 'Blessed' was preparing to incorporate the Balk family into the 'Creator's' armed forces.
This was what they had always hoped for. The previous battle with the 'Rose School' made them realize the security and peace of mind that came with divine protection.
Therefore, they had always hoped that the 'Blessed' would recruit them, allowing most of the family members to serve the 'Creator'.
Now, they had finally received the result they had been hoping for. So, they together made the gesture representing the 'Creator' and shouted, 'Fight for the 'Creator'!'
Hobert added, 'Everyone, prepare yourselves. Three days later, under Elliot's leadership, proceed to the Northern Continent in an orderly manner.'
'After completing the initial assembly, I will announce the combat mission.'
'The spoils of this war, if you obtain sealed artifacts, you can keep them. I will exchange any Beyonder characteristics obtained with Beyonder characteristics from the 'Lawyer' pathway.'
After saying a few more words to boost morale, Hobert stood up to bid farewell.
After he left, Calvin asked Elliot, who remained in the meeting room, 'Why did the Blessed leave in such a hurry?'
'He still needs to gather the extraordinary forces of other families.'
Everyone thought it made sense. Since it was an extraordinary war, it certainly wouldn't be just the Balk family participating.
So, they began to discuss which forces to assemble for the war and which to leave behind.
...
Hobert then went to Bayam. Rafter, who had received a letter of notification, was waiting at the entrance of the Tony Manor.
Accompanying him to greet Hobert was Osment, the nominal owner of the Tony Manor. Arriving at the manor's meeting hall, Hobert met two other demigods and several Sequence 5 members who served as the family's backbone.
Originally, the Tony family had four demigods, but Mr. Valentine, the 'War Bishop,' was killed by Amon's avatar earlier.
Currently, the Tony family only had three Sequence 4 members. Hobert's messenger, Beverly, had timely recovered the 'War Bishop's' Beyonder characteristics, and one of the remaining three demigods was also an 'Iron-Blooded Knight'.
However, the ritual to advance to 'War Bishop' required a large-scale war, so the advancement had not been completed yet.
Hobert had just exchanged a few polite words with these demigods when a gas lamp in the meeting hall suddenly exploded, and a ball of flame leaped out of it, forming a humanoid figure of fire.
All the Tony family members knelt on one knee towards the fire figure: 'Your Highness.'
This was Raymond Tudor, the surviving member of the Tudor royal family and the younger brother of the messenger Beverly.
Hobert also bowed and said, 'Your Highness Raymond.'
Covered in flames, Raymond asked, 'I heard that the 'Creator' is about to launch a war in the South Colson area?'
Hobert thought: The messenger's speed is fast enough; this has spread the news here? This saves me some talking.
He said, 'That's right, I'm here to ask for your help.'
Raymond first said, 'I promised before that I would help you once for free, and the Tony family also owes you a favor. We will send all our elite forces to participate in the war.'
Then he sighed, 'The last time I participated in a Beyonder war was in the Fourth Epoch.'
After all, in the previous battle with Amon's avatar, the 'Creator' had dispatched an angel and three saints. The 'Creator' had even taken action personally, so this favor had to be repaid.
Hobert added, 'The spoils of war obtained by the Tony family in this battle belong to the Tony family, but you can't use those Beyonder characteristics. I hope to acquire the Beyonder characteristics you obtain.'
Raymond said, 'Yes, the acquisition price will give you a huge discount. If there are Sequence 4 level Beyonder characteristics, they will be calculated at 50,000 pounds.'
This angel was not in good condition. After setting the tone, he exploded with a 'bang' and left the reception hall.
Hobert discussed some detailed issues with several demigods. Finally, he said, 'Please prepare yourselves. Three days later, under Rafter's guidance, begin to proceed to the Northern Continent in an orderly manner.'
Immediately afterward, Hobert did not stop and came to Longtail Island. He had already entrusted Angus to pass on the message and had scheduled a meeting today with Barnett, the patriarch of the Tudor family.
In addition to Barnett, Darnell, the demigod who had previously traded with Hobert, also came, and this time the meeting was held in the Governor's office.
Unsurprisingly, Barnett also agreed that the Tudor family would send all the family's elite forces to participate in the war.
That afternoon, these three families began to gather their forces, preparing to go to South Colson.
In Hobert's plan, he wanted to take advantage of this war to completely recruit the Balk family and become his vanguard for development in the Southern Continent.
The other thing was to strengthen the relationship with the Tony family, at least to become allies in the Rorsted Archipelago.
The final Tudor family was in a state of 'preparing to recruit'. When the time was right, all these forces would be invested in the Southern Continent.
There were also some familiar families or organizations that might not participate in the war. Hobert looked at his pocket watch. It was already afternoon. He decided to visit those extraordinary organizations with uncertainties tomorrow.
Tonight, he also had a date with Audrey to eat barbecue together.
