After a few seconds of silence in the meeting room, Helen asked Hobert, "Oh my god, how did you get the 'Traveler's' Beyonder characteristics?"
Hobert explained casually, "He wasn't in a good state at the time."
That was the truth, he had become a Marionette, how could he be in a good state?
Helen smiled and said, "You're so lucky."
Hobert closed the wooden boxes one by one and said, "Your captain should have explained the use of merits to you.
"I'm showing you these Beyonder characteristics just to tell you, don't think there's no future here just because it's a mountainous area. In at most three months, this place will become the most important port on a prosperous sea route!
"And the rewards we provide for you far exceed your imagination. For example, I even have a main ingredient for a 'Imperative Mage'."
The Tudor family gasped, especially Angus, whose eyes were filled with enthusiasm, which meant there was hope of becoming a demigod here!
Hobert said to Helen, "I don't currently have any Beyonder characteristics from the Witch pathway, but if there are any corresponding materials you need, I will definitely help you buy them."
Helen gave a charming but not vulgar smile: "You'd better keep your word!"
"Of course." Hobert smiled and opened the rectangular wooden box in front of him again: "This is the 'Black Jade Sword', a Beyonder weapon, its ability is..."
After repeating the abilities of the "Black Jade Sword", Hobert added: "The detailed rules for exchanging Beyonder weapons are also in the list given to your captain, I think they should have explained it to you."
In fact, they didn't. Even Helen and Angus only glanced at the exchange rules other than the Beyonder characteristics and didn't take them seriously at all.
Now they had to awkwardly take out the "Merit Exchange List" that Hobert gave them, take a look, and then explain it to their team members.
Exchanging for a Beyonder weapon requires 1800 to 2000 merits.
A member boldly asked, "Lord, is this the only extraordinary weapon you have?"
Hobert smiled and replied, "I know an 'Artisan' who is good at making extraordinary weapons!"
Everyone looked at each other, which meant he could buy new extraordinary weapons at any time, which made many people envious.
Then Hobert took out another wooden box and introduced the two tubes of potion inside: "This one can quickly restore strength, and this one can quickly restore spirituality.
"Because we will have in-depth cooperation with the Church of the Earth Mother, exchanging for such potions won't cost much merit, and some will be distributed to you for free before the battle begins."
Hobert took out a few more small wooden boxes: "Finally, let me introduce the sealed artifacts of our Special Operations Department.
"Although our Special Operations Department has just been established, this new department still has six Grade 2 sealed artifacts and five Grade 3 sealed artifacts..."
Everyone was surprised again. This was comparable to the number of sealed artifacts of an official Beyonder in a medium-sized city.
Then Hobert briefly introduced the abilities of two Grade 2 sealed artifacts and two Grade 3 sealed artifacts.
These sealed artifacts all came from the spoils of the extraordinary war with the "Rose School" before.
Hobert continued: "Because everyone comes from different forces, the spoils of war, if obtained entirely through your own efforts, can be distributed by the captain within the team or handed over to your respective organizations.
"If you choose not to hand over the spoils to the Special Operations Department, even if you have made contributions, the Special Operations Department will not issue merits.
"If the spoils are obtained while holding sealed artifacts provided by the Special Operations Department, the Special Operations Department has the right to share the spoils.
"If the spoils are obtained through cooperation between two teams, I have the corresponding right of allocation if you cannot negotiate a solution!
"If you do not have a channel to dispose of the spoils, you can exchange them for merits or gold livres, but the number of merits and gold livres exchanged depends on the pricing of the actual object."
Hobert's method of distributing the spoils was relatively reasonable, and everyone in the room had no objections.
Finally, there were the application rules for sealed artifacts. The five Grade 3 sealed artifacts will be stored in the "Special Operations Department". Two or more team members can apply, and they can be used after the captain approves.
The Grade 2 sealed artifacts are stored in the Lord's Mansion. The captain takes the application form to the Lord's Mansion to collect them, and they can be used after Hobert approves.
After discussing the sealed artifacts, everyone came back to their senses: sealed artifacts, application forms, this is what official Beyonders should have!
At this time, they realized that Hobert's strength and ambition had far exceeded their understanding of a baron.
This was quickly confirmed, because Hobert then said: "You may want to ask, what is the specific scope of jurisdiction of the 'Special Operations Department'?
"I want to tell you, the entire South Colson is within the jurisdiction of the 'Special Operations Department'."
Helen really wanted to remind Hobert: You are just a baron on one side of Full Moon Lake! Even the 'Cognitive Society' doesn't dare to brag like that!
Hobert didn't seem to see Helen's moving eyes: "In other words, the entire South Colson, apart from the extraordinary power of the Church of the Earth Mother, only the 'Special Operations Department' is a legitimate official extraordinary organization.
"If we don't take care of the extraordinary cases here, who else can we expect to take care of them?"
Then he changed the subject: "In addition to handling extraordinary cases, you also have the responsibility of supervising the officials, knights, and staff of the Lord's Mansion.
"If you find any dereliction of duty or violations of laws and disciplines, you must immediately report to the Lord's Mansion!"
Hobert had long planned to let the "Special Operations Department" serve as a "supervisory agency". These people had no local background and would not be bound by the local convoluted family relationships.
The team members felt the importance of their responsibilities, and at the same time felt the Lord's Mansion's respect for them, which made them very happy.
Even Helen and Angus did not expect that Hobert would be so generous in granting them such great power.
Actually, this understanding was due to the fact that these two people had no political literacy, because Hobert had just said very clearly that they only had the power to supervise, not the power to investigate, let alone the power to judge.
Finally, Hobert got to the point: "As the only official extraordinary organization in this area, how can we allow demons and lunatics from the Aurora Order to exist within our jurisdiction?
"Therefore, I and the Archbishop of the Feynapotter City Diocese of the Church of the Earth Mother will have a cooperation to eradicate these tumors entrenched in our jurisdiction!
"This operation will be a three-party cooperation. After the power of the Church of the Earth Mother arrives, we will immediately launch a series of actions to drive the other party out of South Colson!"
With the previous foreshadowing, everyone already had a certain sense of ownership. Driven by Hobert's words, they couldn't wait to immediately attack those demons and members of the Aurora Order! To make this territory peaceful and harmonious.
Overall, Hobert was very satisfied with his mobilization, giving everyone sufficient motivation to fight.
Of course, he knew that the so-called "official Beyonder" was just a fig leaf. Everyone was actually moved by the benefits he showed.
Back at the Lord's Mansion, Hobert met Albert, who had been waiting at the door for a while.
This time, Albert went to Feynapotter City and even met the king, feeling that he had broadened his horizons.
After returning, his attitude towards Hobert became more and more flattering, and his determination to be loyal became more and more obvious.
Hobert simply asked a few questions about the trip to Feynapotter City, focusing on discussing Albert's work content next.
Now, Albert agreed to whatever Hobert said without any doubt.
The conversation lasted until evening before Albert left.
Hobert had long planned to go and see what the Demonic Wolf of Fog was up to tonight. If the time was right, he planned to simply turn the Demonic Wolf of Fog into an extraordinary material and high-level spiritual material.
He first used the "Faceless Necklace" to divination through the oil painting. As Hobert expected, all the divinations failed.
So Hobert simply took out the sealed artifact he had just obtained from the Church of the Evernight Goddess from the "Nation of Disorder".
This sealed artifact has the ability to enter dreams and can be used to enter the dream in the oil painting.
Hobert held the sealed artifact in one hand and supported the oil painting with the other, and once again came to the peaceful grassland and soon came to the door of the oppressive hall.
When Farbauti pulled Hobert into the dream last time, this place was similar to an ordinary hall.
But when Hobert came in by himself, it was like when he came in with Christian. The hall became very deep, and the walls and top were painted with monster murals.
Hobert was about to look for the wooden statue of the Demonic Wolf of Fog, but his legs seemed to suddenly lose control, striding forward, taking a long step with each stride.
Fortunately, this was in a dream, otherwise Hobert would have worried about tearing his balls!
Hobert was a little surprised: That's not right! I'm using the sealed artifact of the "Sleepless" pathway, I should have enough self-control in the dream!
Then Hobert seemed to understand: I'm using the sealed artifact of the "Sleepless" pathway! And it was given to me under the arrangement of the Evernight Goddess! Then, the Evernight Goddess's purpose in giving me this sealed artifact is likely to enter Farbauti's dream with me!
Thinking of this, Hobert simply stopped fighting for control of his legs! He strode past the location of the wooden statue of the Demonic Wolf of Fog, passed through a sea of swaying flowers, and came to the deepest part of the hall.
The monsters in the murals seemed to ignore Hobert's existence and did not appear in the hall to obstruct Hobert. Not only that, but the demons in the murals hid when they saw Hobert.
Hobert finally stopped in front of the throne.
Then, a string of vertical words appeared on the high stone back of the throne: Your arrangement in the Tucker Plain has been destroyed by me.
After this string of words appeared, Hobert felt that he had control over his legs again: The Evernight Goddess entered Farbauti's dream just to leave a message for Farbauti?
Hobert glanced at the content of the "message" again. The Tucker Plain is a large plain in central Loen Kingdom, spanning East Tucker County, Southville County, Winter County, and Desi County.
It is the largest grain-producing area in Loen Kingdom and even the entire Northern Continent.
Who does "you" refer to?
Hobert pondered for a while, could it be Farbauti and Flegrea?
What are they planning there?
Hobert pondered for a while, and finally could only guess that this should be a game between the Evernight Goddess and the ancient gods.
With such an experience, Hobert simply withdrew from the dream. As for the plan to use part of the Demonic Wolf of Fog's spirituality to find its traces, he could wait a while before talking about it.
After sitting in his room for a while, Hobert smiled helplessly: I'm just an errand runner, why make it so heavy?
He looked at his watch, it was only a little after seven in the evening, it was still early.
So Hobert brought forward what he had originally planned to do tomorrow to today.
He asked the kitchen to bake another batch of doughnuts and wrote a letter to Upton in Connaught City, asking about the progress of purchasing building materials.
At about half past eight, the letter was "sent", and at a little after nine, Hobert received a reply.
In the reply, Upton roughly described the process of purchasing building materials and had completed all the purchasing tasks.
At the same time, he said in the letter that because he had recently sold a large amount of gold, he was being targeted by an extraordinary organization. He noticed that he was being stalked by the other party, so he requested the help of the "Blessed".
Hobert smiled slightly. He seemed to see some walking Beyonder characteristics again.
Because Upton's wording was not very urgent, Hobert planned to go to him tomorrow to take a look.
As for tonight, he planned to rest early, but thinking that the snow on the construction site was already very thick, if the snow was not cleared, the construction site would definitely become very muddy, which would affect the construction progress.
So the "Creator" worked overtime again, letting the "Nation of Disorder" provide power, and using the ability of the "Ocean Pendant" to blow away all the snow on the construction site.
After doing all this, Hobert lay on the bed and used the power of meditation to fall asleep faster.
As he expected, he was pulled into a dream by a force in the middle of the night and came to the hall full of flowers again.
Farbauti, the tall and thin middle-aged man, was already sitting on the throne.
Almost as soon as Hobert stood still, the other party asked urgently: "The 'Fool' who just appeared recently, is not Flegrea?"
Hobert replied affirmatively: "No!"
"Hahaha ~" Farbauti had drastic emotional changes in front of Hobert for the first time.
When he opened his mouth, Hobert saw that there was no tongue in Farbauti's mouth, only a fleshy red cavity. He didn't know how he made a sound.
This made Hobert obviously uncomfortable: He was very curious about what the real appearance of Sequence 0 "Abyss" was like?
Farbauti smiled twice before saying: "You really guessed it, Flegrea's interpretation of an important divination had a serious deviation!
"He divined that the 'Fool' in the future would gain powerful power and status, and you, Hobert, would provide important assistance to the 'Fool'.
"At that time, Flegrea thought that the current 'Fool' was his identity after resurrection! It's hard to imagine that he was so wrong!"
