Hobert, hearing Klein's prayer that he had gotten involved with the "Rose School" because of a great scientist, felt he should report it to the "Creator."
Hobert smiled: I knew it, this guy always resorts to 'cramming at the last minute.' He must be in trouble to contact the "Creator."
Hobert could guess Klein's mental activities pretty accurately. Klein definitely wanted to use the conflict between the "Creator" and the "Rose School," so he could ask the "Creator" for help when he encountered danger.
As for why he didn't directly ask the "Creator" for help, it would be strange. A favored one of the "Fool" not asking the "Fool" for help, but asking the "Creator" for help, is very unreasonable.
Hobert smiled, exuded his own majesty, and responded in the image of the "Creator": "Understood."
He still intended to help with this matter, after all, the mysterious and powerful "Creator" and "Fool" were nominally allies.
The reason for saying "nominally" is that these two "Gods" still haven't met in their divine forms.
However, the "selves" of these two gods can meet once a week, and even made a deal a few hours ago.
After dealing with this matter, Hobert reached out and summoned the two Beyonder characteristics seized this time. Because Archibald didn't kill the opponent's small fries this time, the spoils of Beyonder characteristics were only these: one "Scarlet Scholar" and one "Dawn Paladin" Beyonder characteristic.
Hobert habitually analyzed these two Beyonder characteristics: The "Scarlet Scholar" Beyonder characteristic could be considered for sale to Emlyn, and the "Dawn Paladin" Beyonder characteristic should be saved for now.
As for the "Monster" pathway's mystical item seized from Senor, Hobert simply glanced at it and threw it onto the stone platform for Grade 2 Sealed Artifacts.
Because the negative effects of this Sealed Artifact were actually quite high, including: the luck gained in battle would rebound in the same intense way after ten minutes.
This was quite terrifying. If the enemy was like Hobert, who liked to launch continuous assaults, the holder's situation would be quite dangerous.
Of course, most importantly, Hobert didn't need such a "burden" now!
After categorizing the spoils, just as Hobert was about to leave the "Nation of Disorder," a strange star suddenly appeared in the pool and began to expand.
Hobert frowned: Another stranger praying to me? This is already the third one! Should I investigate how the "Creator's" honored name was leaked?
He spread his spirituality to that strange star and saw an elegant woman in formal attire. She was wearing a Loen-style court dress, had beautiful features, and exuded confidence in her every move.
Hobert recognized that it was actually Princess Alice!
Because he had already met and contacted Ethel in the real world, Hobert had stopped observing these two princesses.
Then Hobert thought: Why would Alice pray to me?
He carefully listened to her prayer: "Creator in the Shadow of Order… Your devout follower begs for your attention, hoping to receive your help to avenge my brother, Edessak."
Hobert finally understood that the court maid and court guard who had prayed to him before must have been ordered by Alice, or affected by a Sealed Artifact in Alice's possession.
Alice dared to pray to the "Creator" after observing that neither of those two people had been affected by corruption or madness.
Hobert smiled, reached out, and pinched a wisp of "Power of Disorder" from the "Nation of Disorder," throwing it into Alice's star.
George III was the main culprit in the murder of his own son, and he certainly didn't intend to have any involvement with the royal family's pile of troubles.
Hobert did this as a punishment, rejecting Alice's request.
…
Sodela Palace, in Princess Alice's palace.
Alice, in formal attire, knelt devoutly on the ground, repeatedly praying to the "Creator."
Today she finally had the opportunity to avoid the king's eyes and pray to the "Creator" herself.
A single prayer might not elicit a response, but according to the previous two experiments, even if there was no response, she wouldn't be in any danger.
Just as Alice was lost in thought, her mind was filled with a majestic and dignified figure, that figure seemed to exude a sacred radiance, making one dare not look directly at it.
Before Alice could get excited, before she could see that majestic figure clearly, she felt a surging power slam into her, like a heavy hammer smashing into her chest.
Then Alice felt as if her whole body had fallen apart, intense pain transmitted from every nerve to her brain, causing her to groan in pain!
As Alice fell to the ground, it was as if tiny snakes were about to crawl out from under her skin, stretching her skin into severe distortions.
Alice's heart was filled with fear, she was actually starting to lose control!
She endured the great pain, trying to enter a meditative state, but it was useless at all.
Just as Alice thought she was going to die in fear of losing control, the power that caused her so much pain gradually disappeared, and Alice gradually recovered from the state of losing control.
When the pain completely disappeared, it was already three minutes later, and Alice realized that her tears, snot, and saliva had all flowed to the ground.
She quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her face, her original elegance was long gone, and she sat on the chair as if she had survived a disaster: It's strange, why didn't the previous two experiments receive a response from the "Creator," nor were they treated like this?
Alice could be sure that the fleeting majestic figure must be the "Creator"!
Then she suddenly realized: Could the "Creator" think that my previous two experiments were testing Him?
A saying that has been passed down from ancient times, appearing in the scriptures of various churches, flashed in Alice's mind: You must not test God!
As for why the "Creator" would know that the two previous experiments were related to her, it seemed obvious, how could a God not even notice this?
A wry smile climbed onto Alice's face: If only I had known…
She shook her head, after all, it was an Evil God, she certainly had to experiment a bit before daring to pray to Him.
Then she thought that since the "Creator" had responded, she could try to offer more sacrifices to Him, hoping to gain His forgiveness.
In any case, this was a hope, and she naturally wouldn't give up easily.
…
"Nation of Disorder," on the "Iron Throne."
Hobert didn't pay any more attention to Alice. He was very confident in his use of the power of the "Nation of Disorder." That little bit of power would only cause Alice to suffer for a while, and as the power was diluted in the real world, she would be fine in a few minutes.
He used the method he had bestowed upon himself to bring the Beyonder item with the "Travel" ability out of the "Nation of Disorder" for trading with Klein.
Then he prayed to the "Fool." The transaction that had been agreed upon for a few days later could now be completed.
As long as he had the ability to "Travel," Klein could run away at any time, which would increase his confidence in facing risks and add a means of dealing with danger.
The "Fool," Klein, seemed to feel the love from the "Creator" and immediately completed the transaction.
So in the middle of the night, Hobert put another 12,000 pounds of cash into the safe!
Klein also paid the final payment, which was originally scheduled to be paid next week, very happily in one go.
Returning to the bedroom, Hobert found himself unable to sleep, partly because so much money had been credited to his account today, and partly because the bedroom was too big.
Hobert wondered if the designer was sick? Building the bedroom as big as a yard, as if people could come and watch him sleep at any time, giving him no sense of security at all.
He was about to use "Cogitation" to fall asleep, but suddenly thought about how to spend so much money? So he decided to make a plan first.
Hobert certainly wouldn't be a miser, letting so much money mold there. Only money that is spent can reflect its value.
…
Bayam, in a spacious basement.
Barrett, the "Wraith" who had just been urgently transferred, respectfully asked the altar, which was full of candles and covered by a curtain: "Lord Jax , was the ritual successful?"
"It was successful, just waiting for God's response," a cold voice came from behind the lowered curtain.
Barrett didn't dare to say anything more and waited for another ten seconds. The curtain rolled up as if it had a life of its own and tied itself into a knot.
On the altar were many heads, internal organs, limbs, and blood, which were piled up in layers to form a small "Tree of Flesh and Blood."
Thump, thump.
Suddenly, the heart in the Tree of Flesh and Blood began to beat, and the other internal organs and flesh also began to wriggle, as if suddenly filled with vitality.
Just as Barrett thought these flesh and blood were about to come alive, the "Tree of Flesh and Blood" suddenly withered and spread out like mud.
In the original position of the "Tree of Flesh and Blood," a wet, fleshy doll appeared. Its face had no eyes, no nose, no ears, only a hole-like mouth.
Jax piously and fanatically chanted "Mother Tree of Desire" several times. He picked up the doll, injected spirituality into it, and then pushed it forward, the small doll disappearing into the void.
Barrett didn't know the purpose of this doll and could only watch quietly, waiting for new orders.
Jax would naturally not take the initiative to explain to the other party, this was an arrangement to prevent the person who stole the intelligence from escaping from the spirit world.
As long as someone enters the spirit world from Bayam, they will be targeted by the puppet, and Jax will be able to know the other party's location and immediately chase after them through the spirit world.
In addition, this puppet has other uses.
"The blessings of the gods can only help us sense the existence of the target within a larger range."
Jax took out a pair of glasses from his pocket: "We can use these glasses to accurately find him!"
Barit respectfully said, "Lord Jax, what should we do next?"
"We'll look for the target after dawn," Jax said.
Because of the previous "broadcast," both the Storm Church and the military are very vigilant now.
If we go looking for him at this time, it will definitely make them aware.
Jax added, "If he has powerful assistants, we will monitor him and report to Lord Sea, and see if we need to summon Lord Crista to help us.
"If he has no protector and is weak himself, then we will strike directly!"
… …
Backlund, morning.
Viscount Glaint brought the noble children who were willing to interview at Hobert's residence to visit.
There were more than thirty noble children willing to come, and more people were still watching.
Among these thirty-odd people were Karl and Corati.
The two people smiled at each other after meeting, as if they had seen through each other, or rather, the purpose of each other's father.
Hobert entertained them in a conference room.
This conference room was originally a card room and a billiards room, but Hobert felt it was useless, so he directly transformed it into a conference room.
In the middle was a huge conference table that could seat seventy or eighty people.
After more than thirty people were seated, it still seemed a bit empty.
The servants served black tea and coffee, indicating the start of the meeting.
"First of all, let me reiterate the purpose of inviting everyone here," Hobert said.
The conference room immediately became quiet.
"My territory needs a large number of officials I can trust, and the company I am about to establish needs a large number of managers!"
Hobert smiled and said, "I know that everyone is talented, so I will give you a place to display your talents."
Many people had smiles on their faces.
They felt that they were just lacking an opportunity, or a platform to display their ambitions.
Hobert continued, "However, the necessary assessment for you is still necessary.
Everyone, go back and talk to your family members.
In the next month, I will take you to the territory to receive certain training and actually participate in the management.
"Let me first tell you that each of you will manage a village.
At the end of a month, I will personally inspect your management situation and then give you new appointments."
Everyone was slightly stunned.
Some felt that this selection model was very novel, and some felt that letting themselves manage a village was a bit of an overqualified job.
At the same time, they were not disgusted with this selection model, feeling that with a little effort, they would stand out.
"There are many standards for assessment," Hobert said.
"There are the conditions in the farmland, the employment of surplus labor, your affinity for the people, or the recognition of the villagers, and so on.
"If anyone wants to withdraw halfway, I will pay the withdrawer a reward of 1 pound per day.
In addition, the withdrawer will forget everything you encountered in the selection."
Everyone thought the Earl was joking, but Karl and Corati knew that if Hobert was willing, such a thing could really happen.
… …
Berserk Sea, Bayam.
Klein, who was frightened by the telegram, didn't sleep much in the second half of the night, but he didn't immediately leave using "Traveling."
After praying to the "Creator" and obtaining the sealed artifact with the "Traveling" ability, he originally wanted to leave immediately using "Traveling."
But when he returned to the real world a few minutes later, he remembered that he hadn't prayed to himself to bring the newly traded magical item out from above the gray fog.
Entering the gray fog again, Klein suddenly thought that the "Groselle's Travels" was a very good shield.
After completing the sacrifice ritual, he remembered that he had forgotten to bring out the magical item with the "Traveling" ability again!
As a Seer, Klein realized that his memory couldn't be so bad.
This was a reminder from his spirituality!
So he waited until dawn and sacrificed his luggage, wallet, and most of his cash to the gray fog.
Klein planned to hide in the belly of a sea monster to leave, so this time he easily brought the magical item with the "Traveling" ability out from above the gray fog.
After the sun rose, he took a carriage directly to the edge of Bayam, left the city, and went up the mountain.
When he reached the middle of the mountain, he turned into the forest.
From this forest, he could directly reach the cliff on the other side of the mountain.
The sea monster was already waiting there.
As long as he left the island for a certain distance, Klein planned to use "Traveling" to a more distant location.
At this moment, above Klein's head, a leaf suddenly broke free from the branch and floated towards Klein.
At first, he didn't care, but the leaf suddenly accelerated and floated to Klein's face, covering his mouth and nose.
At the same time, the surrounding branches fell off, shooting towards Klein like sharp arrows.
Suddenly, Klein felt that every leaf, every stone, and every blade of grass around him wanted to kill him.
Just as the branches were about to shoot Klein, his figure suddenly collapsed and turned into a paper figure.
The arrow-like branches pierced the paper figure, turning it into fragments.
The surrounding leaves surrounded it, forming a sphere of leaves, wrapping the paper figure tightly.
Klein's figure appeared seven or eight meters away.
Without thinking, he immediately reached for the "Adventurer's Harmonica" to summon his messenger.
But his clothes bound him, and his arms couldn't move at all.
The bones all over his body were about to be broken.
Fortunately, one of his hands was not wearing gloves.
He snapped his fingers, burning the shoulder and elbow of his clothes, and he was finally able to break free briefly and immediately play the harmonica.
Miss Messenger, carrying four golden-haired heads, arrived.
One of her heads let out a silent scream towards a distant tree, and Jax was immediately "blown" out of a big tree by the scream from the soul.
Before Klein could react, Jax's sparse white-haired figure appeared in his eyes.
Almost at the same time, Reinette Tinekerr's two heads suddenly flew over.
The surrounding space seemed to suddenly become illusory.
The two heads opened their mouths and bit Klein's shoulders.
But Klein didn't feel any pain.
Instead, Jax was bitten by the two heads and dragged out of Klein's body.
Jax's figure quickly became illusory.
He reached out and grabbed a wet, fleshy little puppet without eyes, nose, and ears in the illusory spirit world.
He put the puppet in his mouth, and his body immediately swelled, turning into a large puppet with swollen skin and slender limbs.
Reinette's two heads released Jax because of this, but her other two heads flew over.
All four heads opened their mouths at the same time, emitting a silent curse.
Klein didn't bother to watch their battle.
He finally had a chance to escape.
When he rolled and crawled to the edge of the battlefield, his spirituality sent a dangerous warning.
He quickly opened his spiritual vision and finally saw black spiritual threads in a dewdrop: There are still enemies!
However, seeing that the other party didn't dare to join the battle here, it should be a Sequence 5 "Wraith"!
At this time, Klein's first thought was to leave using "Traveling," but he found that the battle behind was too fierce, and the surrounding spirit world was not safe.
So he drew out the "Dirge" and fired at the "Wraith" lurking there, deciding to continue to "ride" the sea monster according to the original plan and leave the island.
Because Klein used his spiritual threads to discover the enemy in advance, and launched an attack before the enemy could react, he took the initiative in the battle.
Soon he used the cooperation of the spiritual threads and the "Creeping Hunger" to seriously injure the enemy.
Just at this moment, dull thunder came continuously from the sky.
Only then did Klein notice that the sky was covered with dark clouds at some point.
Obviously, "Sea King" Jahn Kottman had arrived!
It seemed that his "broadcast" yesterday had a good effect.
Klein smiled silently, giving high praise to the "Sea King's" quick response.
He was about to shoot the seriously injured "Wraith" again when the light in the sky suddenly dimmed, and an arm stretched out from the illusion.
This arm was ten meters long, with a black surface and strange protrusions.
They were either skull heads, or large eyes, or tongues with sharp teeth.
As soon as it appeared, it shook the entire forest.
All the green leaves withered, all the insects died stiffly, and all the animals tore themselves frantically.
The sense of danger in Klein's heart was extremely strong.
He quickly closed his eyes, took out "Groselle's Travels," and held it over his head.
Then Klein used all the preparations he had made.
He took out a box with one hand, opened the spiritual wall on it, injected spirituality into the jade stone with the murmurs of the True Creator placed in it, and sent the murmurs of the True Creator into the air, finally simply throwing it into the air.
Then Klein took out the copper whistle he had obtained in Backlund from a member of the Numinous Episcopate, blew it hard, handed the feather found at the burial place of the member of the Spirit Teachings to the messenger, and threw the copper whistle into the air.
Finally, Klein prayed to the "Creator," hoping to receive His help.
… …
Backlund, 62 Empress Borough.
Hobert smiled at everyone as if he had a premonition: "I'll give everyone time to consider."
Saying this, he stood up and added, "There is also one point to make clear in advance: if you decide to participate in the assessment I give, you will have to learn some of my governing philosophies."
After speaking, he left the conference room, giving those noble children time to consider.
As soon as he came out, he heard the prayers from the "Nation of Disorder."
Hobert slipped into the next room, locked the door, and immediately came to the "Nation of Disorder."
Sitting on the "Iron Throne," he saw that the star representing Klein was indeed expanding.
Spreading his spirituality over, he saw that it was already in chaos, with both Saints and Angels present.
Hobert first saw Suah in the air. This time he finally understood that it might be because Suah's condition was not very good. He seemed to only be able to hide in the spirit world, only extending an arm into the real world.
Crista, the "Rose School" member whom Hobert had seen before, also came, leaning on a cane made of bone.
There was also a cloud of turbid mist that seemed to have no substance, with many pale yellow stained white feathers growing in it.
Hobert was slightly stunned and glanced at Klein, who was fleeing for his life: Where did you shake this mist from? The two angels of "The Creator" look more normal than it.
