Hobert handed Klein the "Miracle Invoker" characteristic, which resembled a crystal heart that constantly spewed forth illusory bubbles. He then sealed the "Curtain," which was manipulating a marionette to carry him around erratically but hadn't managed to escape far, with the "Order Crystal." However, he didn't place it in the "Nation of Disorder."

Immediately afterward, Hobert gestured towards the ancient castle, and dozens of Beyonder characteristics flew towards him.

These were the Beyonder characteristics of Kotar, the Dark Demonic Wolf's, marionettes. Although their Sequences weren't high, for Hobert, who had a large Beyonder team, these Beyonder characteristics were an important reason why he was happy to join this hunt.

Finally, Hobert put away the "Spiritual Barrier" and "Order Crystal Barrier." Reinette once again used her "Mirror Leap" ability to return to one of Klein's gold coins.

Hobert severed all the clues left at the scene, cutting off the "connection" between them.

He used the method of "distorting" space to quickly leave the scene with Klein.

It wasn't until more than half a minute after they left that two figures approached from the darkness in different directions.

One was an Amon avatar wearing crystal-framed monocle, and the other was Steph, the "Profane Presbyter," who was over two meters tall with completely white hair.

They didn't communicate with each other, each searching for clues while being wary of the other.

Ultimately, after confirming that Kotar, the "God of Wishes," had been hunted and that the hunter hadn't left any clues, they each left in the direction they came from.

During his departure, Steph recalled the "Scholar of Yore" he had encountered when inspecting the Lord's Divine Kingdom earlier.

And Amon's avatar, who had been searching for Klein, was almost certain that this must have been done by Klein and his helpers.

Hobert once again used the method of sacrifice to return to the real world. He cleaned up the altar and then assumed a praying posture, entering the "Nation of Disorder."

Even if "The Fool's" gaze hadn't left yet, it didn't matter. After such an important hunting operation, he definitely had to report to the "Creator."

Hobert entered the "Nation of Disorder" mainly to use "True Sight" to confirm the state of the "Curtain."

This Beyonder characteristic was arranged by the Celestial Worthy. He didn't know if it would react with the "Nation of Disorder."

In fact, Hobert already possessed a certain degree of "True Sight" in the outside world, after all, he was already Sequence 1.

If he felt that there was no problem outside, then there was basically no problem. Although this level might not be able to solve the Celestial Worthy's arrangement, he could detect the possible reaction between the "Curtain" and the "Nation of Disorder."

Entering the "Nation of Disorder" to take a look was just to confirm it again.

After confirming that there was no problem with "True Sight," Hobert believed that there should be no inherent connection between these two arrangements of the Celestial Worthy.

Only then did he store the "Curtain" in the "Nation of Disorder" and named it "0-79" Mysterious Curtain.

Looking at these Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts in front of him, Hobert planned to use them as much as possible before and after he became a True God.

Having completed the hunting operation against Kotar, and without anything too urgent recently, Hobert then ordered Angus's "Gale Army" and Helen's 'Thorn Army," as well as five thousand regular soldiers, to advance south under the leadership of Archibald.

Although the Duchy of Southern Balam had now become a colonizer in the Sartre region, with the local nobles acting as agents, Hobert wasn't satisfied with this political model.

What he wanted was true rule!

One of the important reasons why the four countries of the Northern Continent used colonization to rule the Southern Continent was that it was difficult for the Northern Continent's forces to quickly support the colonial army in the Southern Continent.

Whether it was establishing direct rule or managing through a company, the effects were unsatisfactory.

After continuous attempts, they developed the "agent" system. The vast colony of the Loen Kingdom was established using this system.

For example, the management of a state in Eastern Balam. The top-level people must be Loenese, the middle level were the elites of Eastern Balam, and the lowest-level civil servants were basically recruited from local middle-class or small landlord families.

This way, when problems occurred, the Loenese could push the responsibility to the middle or lower levels.

Irresponsibility was their norm.

In addition, because there was a teleportation array, Hobert could quickly project enough force to where it was needed.

And the communication system established with the help of the "Nation of Disorder" could complete the process of information consolidation and dissemination in a short time, so there was no need to continue using agents to rule.

So, the Beyonder troops and regular army of the Duchy of Southern Balam went on an expedition, and news of victory came two weeks later, completely controlling the Salto region. The territory of the Duchy of Southern Balam extended to the southernmost end of this continent.

What puzzled the natives of the Duchy of Southern Balam was that June in previous years was probably the coldest month of the year, but this year, just entering June, the south wind actually began to warm up.

By mid-June, the earth had already begun to thaw, and there were signs of wild grass sprouting on the plains.

It was also at this time that the officials of the Duchy of Southern Balam began to organize the people to carry out spring plowing!

Because they had received a notice that this year's spring had arrived more than a month early.

In addition, all the grassroots officials also received a strange notice, requiring them to keep records of uncultivated land, saying that this year's grain output in the second half of the year would be twice that of previous years!

However, there would be no harvest in the first half of next year, but the uncultivated land would not be affected by this.

All of this, of course, was Hobert playing the role of "Prince of Abolition" and creating opportunities to digest the potion.

Changing the laws of nature was also a kind of "Abolition," but this was his own country, so he had to be careful when carrying out this kind of operation.

He had sent people to investigate and had a comprehensive understanding of the normal climate in previous years. After deducing it, Hobert believed that if the climate warmed up early, the impact would be greater the further north.

And the greatest impact on the Duchy of Southern Balam might be less rain and drought.

But this was also difficult to stop Hobert. How much rain each county's agricultural department needed, he would just give it to them.

With this deduction, Hobert stood at the southernmost end of the Southern Continent and made the cold south wind warm.

After operating continuously for a day, the weather began to warm up, and then there was no need for too much operation, just occasionally resist the cold wind blowing from Antarctica and make the sun's rays more intense.

Making the climate abnormal was "Abolition" of natural climate, which was equivalent to acting.

Then, the early spring plowing after the climate became abnormal violated the common sense of this world, which was enough for the "Prince of Abolition's" potion to be digested to a certain extent.

As for the problem that crops would double, it also came from Hobert's large-scale "tampering." He tampered with the original yield of "1" of the cultivated land to "2."

This allowed him to continue "tampering" for the next three or four months, so the yield of the new season's crops would be twice that of last year.

However, the price was that if you continued to cultivate on the original land in the first half of next year, there would be a high probability of no harvest, and it would not recover until the second half of next year.

Hobert was preparing to enter a mode of national construction after the harvest of this season's crops.

Not only to build some factories and small towns, but also to greatly change the architectural style of all residents' residences, forcibly popularizing the modern architectural style from the Modern Era.

This plan could not only continuously digest the potion, but also prepare for the advancement to "Black Emperor," killing two birds with one stone.

It's just that such an operation requires compiling a suitable reason to avoid the public from noticing the existence of Beyonder powers.

But that was a matter for the Duchy government, and Hobert didn't intend to worry about it.

When Hobert inspected the spring plowing situation in various places, he directly felt that he already possessed a certain amount of divine power.

The scene Hobert saw at the moment was like seeing people spring plowing in December.

Knowing that this spring plowing was not a problem, but it would just feel strange.

The people also had a similar reaction, feeling very uneasy about the spring plowing at this time, but the officials of the Duchy strongly demanded it, and in addition, spring also seemed to have arrived early, so they went to the fields to plow under the call in a confused manner.

In any case, the large-scale early spring plowing began just like that. Even the initiator, Hobert, found it quite miraculous: This is the power of the gods! It can change a country's climate and grain output.

In people's eyes, this is a miracle!

It's just that the miracles of this world tend to appear to most ordinary people in terrifying and bizarre ways. There are hardly any miracles that take into account the livelihood of ordinary people.

Perhaps only the miracles in the Duchy of South Balam are connected to livelihood.

After roughly inspecting the Saint-Sern region, Hobert not only inspected this year's spring plowing situation but also gained a general understanding of the execution capabilities of governments at all levels.

Hobert was generally satisfied with this bureaucratic system. Even orders that sounded as absurd as early spring plowing could be carried out, indicating that the execution was still acceptable.

Of course, in the specific implementation, there will definitely be cases involving forced execution.

But what Hobert currently needs is execution. If he wants to unite the strength of the entire country, the government's functional departments must be strong.

When everyone has enough food and clothing, and when they are protected by a true god, it will not be too late to build a relatively relaxed political atmosphere.

In addition to arranging some ways to digest potions, Hobert has recently devoted a lot of thought to the construction of Beyonder forces.

Firstly, the "Werewolf Legion" and "Hunter Legion" established in the military already have several "Werewolves" and "Pyromaniacs." According to the usual practice, these two armies already have a certain combat capability. When Beyonder wars happen again, a portion of them can be deployed to participate.

Secondly, there are two ceremonies in preparation. Under the auspices of Elliott, Beverly and Raymond will swear allegiance to the "Creator"; under the auspices of Angus, Medici will swear allegiance to the "Creator."

This is Hobert's delegation of power to the "Favored." In the future, more and more places will need the "Creator" to come forward.

The key is that there are more and more demigod-level Beyonders around Hobert. He can't always host sacrifices and similar ceremonies for himself, right?

Not only does he have to "busy himself inside and out," but there is also the risk of exposure.

Before today, Hobert had gradually handed over the task of hosting some ceremonies to Angus, Elliott, and others. Following Angus, Elliott has now been promoted to Sequence 3 and is qualified to host this swearing ceremony.

Just as the two ceremonies were in the preparation stage, Princess Ethel, the special envoy of the Kingdom of Feynapotter, visited the Duchy of South Balam.

For the Duchy of South Balam, this is another diplomatic feast because Princess Ethel is here to establish an embassy.

… …

Currently, the situation in the Northern Continent is already very clear. The Intis Republic has taken the easily defended Takerwell Plain and has begun to attack the Balchis Mountains, which are only a little over a hundred kilometers away from Backlund.

On the northern front, after five months of fierce fighting and attrition, the Feysac Empire finally defeated the main force of Loen on the Loen military defense line composed of Constant and other industrial cities.

After only a week of rest, the Feysac army began to advance south along the Tussock River.

Like the western front, the southern part of the Midseashire Industrial Zone is almost indefensible. The Feysac army has already fought all the way to Tingen City.

On the northern front, a defensive line can only be reorganized in the river valley formed by the Balchis Mountains and the Chester Mountains, two mountain ranges running north-south.

The bad news is that it is only about a hundred kilometers away from Backlund. The good news is that the Loen army's supply line has been shortened.

The strategic goals of the Intis Republic and the Feysac Empire are very clear. They intend to occupy and plunder Backlund, an international metropolis.

For Beyonder forces, it is to drive the Loen royal family out of the capital of the Loen Kingdom. Whether they go to East Bayeux or the Rosid Archipelago, after the capital is occupied, the Augustus family will almost lose the legitimacy to rule Loen.

The strategic goal of the Kingdom of Feynapotter is to recover the territory that became independent during the "Battle of the Violated Oath." Therefore, while attacking Lenburg, other than their navy, no other troops participated in the war to attack the Loen Kingdom, but instead began to attack another small country, Masin.

But this time, it was met with opposition and resolute resistance from the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom. Previously, the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom did not want the war in the Northern Continent to spread into a war that swept across the entire continent.

Therefore, their performance in Feynapotter's war of aggression against Lenburg has always been very passive, and the war there has been a long stalemate in Lenburg's capital.

But now it's different. If Masin is gone, the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom will lose half of its diocese, so they began to actively respond to the battle.

The Church of the Earth Mother, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately dispatched a large number of Beyonder forces into Lenburg and Masin to cooperate with the military in combat.

For a time, this war of aggression became very fierce, and most of the Kingdom of Feynapotter's forces were also contained in these two countries.

This time, Ethel's visit, in addition to affirming Hobert's and the Duchy of South Balam's strength, was also the Kingdom of Feynapotter looking for an opportunity to break the situation.

Seeing that the Intis Republic and the Feysac Empire were about to attack Backlund and divide Loen, they were dragged down in Lenburg and Masin, and consumed a lot of troops and energy in these two countries.

The Feynapotter royal family believes that if the war on the main battlefield ends, and the war in Masin and Lenburg has not ended, Intis and Feysac will definitely come forward to mediate in order to limit the power of the Kingdom of Feynapotter.

At that time, in this world-class war, the Kingdom of Feynapotter may not get anything, and watch Intis and Feysac divide Loen, and eventually become a second-rate country in the Northern Continent.

Since there seems to be no opportunity in the Northern Continent, come to the Southern Continent to take a look.

Coming out of the teleportation array, Ethel felt that the weather here was a bit wrong. According to the previous management experience of the colony, the Duchy of South Balam should be as cold as winter at this time. Why is a warm wind blowing in her face? And the outside looks lush and green, with no sign of winter at all.

Foreign Minister Audrey and Prime Minister Conrad greeted the Feynapotter ambassador together and held a luncheon that day to welcome her.

At Ethel's request, that afternoon, Audrey accompanied her to Asong City using the teleportation array to visit Highland County.

Everyone knows that Ethel wants to see the Duchy of South Balam's rule over the former Highland Kingdom.

So the carriage carrying the special envoy and the foreign minister went straight to the farmland outside the city, and the convoy behind followed closely.

Ethel, with her neat short hair, saw Asong City, with almost no one on the streets, from the car window: "I heard that many people in this city died in the siege at that time."

To be precise, according to the description of the Highland Kingdom nobles who fled to the Feynapotter colony, the Duchy of South Balam massacred everyone in the city after occupying it.

After many fleeing Highland Kingdom nobles died in various "accidents," such rumors were basically contained.

At this time, the first issue of the newly established "Southern Country Daily" clarified this matter. The newspaper said that the Highland Kingdom, seeing that the capital was about to fall, plundered all the wealth in the city and fled north.

Many people died in the looting process. After they fled north, the remaining people also fled the city, so it basically became an empty city.

This is of course also a lie, but it sounds a little more credible.

In the newspaper, the duchy government also elaborated on the Duchy of South Balam's need for population, in order to show that it would not do anything to reduce so many people.

At the same time, they refuted the lies of those nobles one by one. For example, at that time, only more than 3,000 troops of the Duchy of South Balam entered Asong City. How could they massacre 300,000 people in two days?

If a massacre had occurred, why didn't so many people escape at that time?

After this rebuttal, the politicians of the Northern Continent basically concluded that neither the nobles of the Highland Kingdom nor the Duchy of South Balam were telling the truth, and the matter was dropped.

In the years to come, the politicians of the Northern Continent may bring this matter up when needed to make a fuss.

The beautiful and generous Audrey said: "Grand Duke Hobert specifically instructed that Princess Ethel is our friend, and asked me to tell you the truth."

She took a deep breath and said seriously: "The "Rose School of Thought" awakened the severely polluted 'Chained God' when withdrawing from this city."

"Because of the corruption on the 'Chained God', everyone in this city turned into monsters."

"With the help of the 'Creator', the corruption here did not spread outside the city."

Ethel's expression also became solemn: "What was the 'Chained God' corrupted by? What happened to the 'Chained God' later?"

"I'm not very clear about the specifics." Audrey said, "According to Hobert's description, the 'Chained God' seems to have fallen."

Ethel was somewhat surprised. As one of the colonists of the Southern Continent, the Kingdom of Feynapotter knew some information about the "Chained God" and knew that this god had the level of "King of Angels." She didn't expect the "Creator" to kill Him.

Immediately afterwards, she realized that the people of this city had died because of the war between the gods.

Thinking of this, Ethel continued to look out the window, only feeling that the city seemed to be filled with a dignified atmosphere.

After leaving the city, it was a different scene, with spring buds and green grass, a vibrant scene.

The fields were full of farmers cultivating, looking very busy.

At this time, Ethel finally couldn't help but said: "The climate in the Southern Continent seems to be a bit abnormal this year."

"It can't be called abnormal." Audrey smiled and said, "The Paz River Valley and the Tucker Plain have been ravaged by war, and the reduction in grain production is a foregone conclusion. A worldwide famine may be triggered in the next year."

"The Duchy of South Balam doesn't have much food reserves either, so the 'Creator' asked everyone to start spring plowing in advance to avoid a famine."

"Creator…" Ethel was a little surprised: "Did the 'Creator' make the climate abnormal… I mean, did He make spring come early?"

In fact, Philip I could also use His abilities to do this, but He would not use His abilities on such "trivial matters."

Audrey smiled and said: "Yes."

In the government of the Duchy of South Balam, this is no longer a secret.

After all, a few months later, after completing the grain production task, a wave of national construction will be carried out, and the government departments will definitely make corresponding plans in advance.

Ethel was silent again, not expecting to receive so much surprising news on her first day here.

The carriage ran for a long time on the road in the fields before Ethel noticed something: "Excuse me, where are the garrisons around here?"

Audrey recalled for a moment: "There seems to be a garrison in Yason City."

Ethel was stunned: "Why didn't I see it?"

When they left the city, they didn't see any pedestrians in military uniforms.

Audrey smiled and said: "I'm not sure where the garrison camp is either, because there's only one regiment…"

Ethel interrupted: "Only one regiment?"

"Yes." This time Audrey was stunned, not knowing what was wrong.

"That used to be the capital of the Highland Kingdom." Ethel shook her head with a smile.

Even if there are not many people in the city, its symbolism will be difficult to eliminate for a while. Heavy troops should be sent to this kind of place to show the majesty of the victors and prevent the people from having any other ideas.

However, the ruling method of the Duchy of South Balam seems to be completely different from Ethel's understanding.

Audrey understood the princess's meaning: "Let me share a fun story I heard a couple of days ago."

She smiled and said: "With the support of foreign forces, a nobleman from the Highland Kingdom returned to Corwin County to secretly build a spy network, but the day after he returned to his territory, he was reported by the people in his territory."

"Reported?" Ethel thought she had misheard. It was the first time she had heard of people reporting nobles.

"Yes." Audrey continued to tell: "Because that nobleman wanted to restore the 'Glorious Highland Kingdom', but what he didn't know was that the serfs and slaves on that territory had already divided his land, farm tools, and livestock under the auspices of the government."

Ethel had also heard a little about Hobert's land distribution: "This is a brilliant move."

At this time, she suddenly realized the brilliance of this move: binding all ordinary people to the Duchy of South Balam.

Ethel could even imagine what the expression on the people's faces would be when the nobleman from the Highland Kingdom returned to his territory and quietly announced the restoration of the "Glorious Highland Kingdom."

They would definitely be thinking, the land has been divided, and the livestock have been raised for a while. If the Highland Kingdom is really restored, will they be purged?

Without any guidance, the sleepless people would immediately report to the local officials!

At this time, Ethel heard scolding from outside. She opened the curtain and saw a person wearing the uniform of the Duchy of South Balam standing on the ridge, scolding loudly.

The farmers in the field all lowered their heads and worked hard.

Ethel asked again: "Are those people in the field slaves?"

She had long heard that there were no slaves in the Duchy of South Balam.

"Those are the nobles' servants." Audrey smiled and said: "As long as the nobles' servants have not committed any crimes, we generally send them back to their place of origin.

"Those servants who are unwilling to return to their place of origin and want to continue to serve the nobles of the Duchy of South Balam are allowed to form multiple natural villages.

"Generally, the grassroots officials of the Duchy of South Balam are unwilling to work in this kind of village, because they also have to teach them how to cultivate, which is very troublesome."

Ethel slowly nodded and asked again: "Where did the Highland Kingdom nobles who didn't have time to escape go?"

"Those who have had criminal experience are imprisoned, and those who have not are moved to Angel City." Audrey replied.

In fact, they were assigned to the construction site to build Hobert's mausoleum. After all, which noble's hands were not stained with several lives? Except for children and infants, they were all assigned to the construction site.

Ethel continued to ask: "These should all be professional servants, why don't you let them serve you? Is it because you don't trust them?"

Audrey first said: "There are no nobles in the Duchy of South Balam… Well, that may not be quite right to say, it should be said that there are no nobles in the traditional sense, and there is not much demand for servants."

Ethel was slightly stunned. She did recall that among the South Balam high-level officials who greeted her, except for Audrey, there seemed to be no other nobles.

In addition, she also noticed at the time that although those officials were in high positions, they seemed to be somewhat out of place in the atmosphere of this large banquet.

At the same time, the phrase "no nobles" was deeply imprinted in Ethel's mind. She felt that this sentence was very impactful and sounded very terrible.

After turning around in the farmland for an afternoon, the day's activities ended.

The next day, Ethel was invited to watch two large-scale ceremonies. Since the Castiya family was allowed by Philip I to believe in the "Creator", Ethel, who had seen the majesty of the "Creator", had already become a shallow believer.

In addition, because of her status as an envoy, she was invited to watch the ceremony.

Of course, inviting her to watch the ceremony was also Hobert's deterrence to the Kingdom of Feynapotter.

At about eight o'clock in the morning, the people who were allowed to watch the ceremony had already arrived at a hall in the Duke's mansion, which was specially used as a priest.

The interior of the hall was very simple, and even the altar was not inlaid with gold edges, gems, or anything like that.

The people watching the ceremony stood quietly in front of the altar, watching Elliott, the chief priest of this ceremony, set up the altar.

Then, Elliott walked down the altar and first summoned Beverly and her younger brother to the simple altar next to him.

Ethel saw the heavy coffin coming out of the spirit world, and the "fire man" flying in from outside. Then, Elliott used the ring-shaped jade pendant in his hand to release a surge of majestic "power of order."

The heavy coffin opened, and the playful lady lying inside, and the humanoid composed of flames, used this power to jump out of the coffin, and one turned into a normal human appearance.

Ethel realized at this time: Could these be two angels?

Then she was shocked by her own idea, because Audrey had told her yesterday that both of today's ceremonies were ceremonies to swear allegiance to the "Creator."

Seeing the ceremony in progress, the more Ethel thought about it, the more she felt that these two should be angels, otherwise there would be no need to hold such a grand ceremony.

The allegiance of two angels is enough for any god to value, even if the state of these two angels does not seem to be very good, but they are also angels!

Before the ceremony even started, Ethel was already filled with shock and anxiety.

Previously, Feynapotter had obtained some credible information that at least two angels were loyal to the "Creator." They had appeared in the war against the "Rose School of Thought" in the Southern Continent and also in the battle of Southern Colson.

Now, two more angels are going to swear allegiance to the "Creator"?

This… such strength is simply too terrifying.

What worried Ethel was that the strength of the Duchy of Southern Balam exceeded her expectations, at least more powerful than the Feynapotter royal family.

At this time, Elliott asked Beverly and Raymond to wait a moment. He first washed his hands with purified water, then abandoned distracting thoughts through meditation, and then the ritual officially began.

Beverly and Raymond ascended the altar and knelt on it to pray to the "Creator."

Elliott stood on the side of the altar, and after sensing the gaze of the "Creator," he first saluted the direction of the altar, and then loudly stated Beverly and Raymond's request to pledge allegiance to the "Creator."

After obtaining the "Creator's" approval, he led the siblings in taking the oath.

The "Creator" was obviously satisfied with this oath, and at the end of the ritual, bestowed two circular jade pendants made of "Order Crystals."

After the ceremony, the Beyonders who attended the ceremony congratulated the two angels. Especially the members of the Tony family were very excited. After drifting for more than a thousand years, the Tudor family had found a new home.

Even though Ethel was only Sequence 5, she could feel that the two circular jade pendants were very unusual. After obtaining these two jade pendants, the state of the two angels seemed to immediately improve a lot.

Back at the hotel for foreign guests, Ethel's mood could not calm down for a long time. After pacing back and forth in the room, she suddenly thought that if the two Beyonders who swore allegiance were angels, they would not be unknown.

So, she reported the ceremony in the morning to Philip I through prayer and asked if Beverly and Raymond were angels?

Soon, Ethel received a response from Philip I: "Beverly and Raymond are both children of Tudor. They were already angels in the Fourth Epoch."

Originally, Philip I remembered that Beverly was already dead, but after hearing that she was lying in a heavy coffin, he knew that she should not be completely dead.

Ethel noticed that what Philip I said was "Beverly and Raymond are both children of Tudor," not descendants, which meant that these two were the princess and prince of the Tudor Empire back then!

She took a deep breath. The two who swore allegiance today were not only angels, but also relatively "famous" angels!

Then who will be swearing allegiance at the ceremony this afternoon?

With a curious and uneasy mood, she finally waited for the afternoon.

This time, the main celebrant of the ceremony was Angus. Similarly, after washing his hands and meditating, this time he invited a young man with obvious Southern Continent facial features to the stage.

Angus smiled and said, "Mr. Medici, according to the Duke's instructions, we have prepared a gift for you."

With a wave of his hand, four attendants carried in a wooden box the size of a coffin from the back door of the hall.

At this time, Ethel thought: This is the descendant of the Medici family!

Because of the propaganda of the nobles of the Highland Kingdom, the outside world now knows that a descendant of the Medici family has now joined the forces of the "Creator" and has been reused.

It is said that the war to destroy the Highland Kingdom was commanded by this Medici.

Medici on the altar glanced at the wooden box and smiled, "Are you afraid that my advancement will fail and prepared a coffin for me?"

Angus smiled and said nothing, waiting for the wooden box to be carried to the altar before he said, "Please take a look."

The wooden box opened, and lying inside was a handsome young man with bright fiery red hair and a conspicuous blood-red flag-shaped mark on his forehead.

His facial features were similar to those of Medici before his fall, but he was even more handsome and had a more feminine temperament.

Medici was also stunned on the spot after seeing this body.

At this time, Angus explained, "We sent people to the underground ruins of Backlund to collect the hair and bones of you three, and then asked someone to shape this body."

Medici came back to his senses at this time: "Asked 'someone'?"

Angus was slightly stunned, not quite understanding what Medici meant.

"Forget it," Medici said, "It's rare that Hobert has this intention."

The "person" who can refine the hair and bones of two great angels and an King of Angels into the same body, Medici can't think of a second existence besides the Earth Mother.

Ethel, who was watching the ceremony, noticed that this Medici directly called "Hobert" by name, but the people around him did not show any surprise or unnatural expressions.

That is to say, he usually calls Hobert by name, instead of "Duke," nor does he add honorifics such as "Duke."

Immediately afterwards, the second ceremony began. In Medici's prayer, the "Creator" once again cast his gaze, and after Medici swore allegiance, he bestowed a portion of the Beyonder characteristics of "Weather Warlock."

Under the operation of the "Creator," the body that Medici is now possessing and the body that was just refined for him had a "Disorder." In the "Disorder," Medici's spirit body was "tampered" into the new body.

Medici, who had obtained a brand new body, opened his eyes and sat up from the wooden box. He looked at his hands, first laughed heartily, and then sincerely thanked the "Creator."

Ethel didn't know if it was her illusion, but she seemed to hear two voices on this Medici's body saying, as if whispering, "This body is good."

Another voice said, "Of course it's good, there's a part of me in it."

After that, the two voices seemed to say a few words in a low voice, but Ethel didn't hear clearly.

The ceremony of bestowing ended, and Medici, in front of everyone, swallowed the Beyonder characteristics of "Weather Warlock" alive.

Amid everyone's exclamations, Medici took a deep breath and had already restrained his surging spirituality.

He first smacked his lips, as if he hadn't had enough, and then smiled and said to everyone, "Don't everyone learn from me, I just performed a similar advancement ceremony in advance and digested the potion in advance."

To be precise, he digested three rounds of potions.

It's just that Medici has not performed the ceremony to advance to "Weather Warlock," because he was born a Sequence 2, but the other two have performed the advancement ceremony, so they are not considered to be swallowing a "Weather Warlock" level potion alive.

After thanking the "Creator" who had withdrawn his gaze again towards the altar, Medici smiled again: "Tonight at the State Guest Hotel, my treat!"

Everyone congratulated him.

Although this Marshal of the Duchy of Southern Balam has a stinky mouth, after getting along for a while, everyone has become accustomed to his way of speaking.

Overall, Medici is still very experienced in dealing with people. He is always very rigorous when it comes to professional issues involving the military. He will also lend a helping hand when others need help.

He belongs to the kind of person who makes people hate him when they meet him, but after calming down, they don't think he is so hateful, but occasionally they will remember his good deeds.

Over the past few months, Medici's popularity in the extraordinary unit has been passable, so when he said he would treat, everyone expressed their willingness to go.

Hobert's interpretation of this is: Medici is using this method to tell the "Creator" that he is willing to integrate into the "Creator's" forces.

Ethel in the crowd thought: The "Creator" has three more angels that can be mobilized at once. Adding this group of demigods and Sequence 5 who came to watch the ceremony, the strength of the orthodox church is only so-so.

Back at the hotel, Ethel once again reported this afternoon's ceremony to Philip I. After Philip I heard that a new body was refined for Medici, he asked Ethel to recall Medici's appearance in his mind.
