Chapter 329 Sequence 1 Attracted by Hobert

The royal palace of the Feynapotter Kingdom is called the Alhambra Palace, which in ancient Feysac means "Red Castle."
It is said that the palace was originally built with red bricks, hence the name "Red Castle."
Hobert guessed that the brick-making technology at that time must have been limited, unable to produce bricks of other colors, so they could only use the most easily processed red bricks to build walls and houses.
Later, after the founding of the Feynapotter Kingdom and its capital being established here, more and more people settled in this area, and the brick-making technology became more advanced, leading to the creation of yellow and blue bricks.
Now, there are not many red buildings left in the Alhambra Palace.
Hobert had visited the Forbidden City and Hengdian World Studios in the Common Era, so he didn't feel any nervousness about visiting a royal palace for the first time. On the contrary, he felt that this small place was only called a "royal palace," and they must be embarrassed to call it an imperial palace.
Christian was also a man of the world, and the father and son remained calm and composed as they were led by the protocol officer into the core area of the royal palace.
King Ferdinand II of Feynapotter received and praised Christian and Hobert in the Great Hall, where grand court meetings were held, and promised to grant them the titles of Earl and Baron, respectively, the following day.
At this moment, Hobert finally had the feeling that "I have really betrayed my country." If it were in the Loen Kingdom, it seemed that it would cost hundreds of thousands of pounds to become a baronet.
With that amount of money, Hobert would rather go to the Southern Continent to form a mercenary group and conquer a territory recognized by the native kings and colonists of the Southern Continent.
Even bribing the colonists to obtain a piece of land of his own wouldn't cost hundreds of thousands of pounds!
The next morning, Hobert and Christian, dressed in traditional aristocratic attire of the Feynapotter Kingdom, arrived early at a side hall of the royal palace to wait.
The traditional aristocratic attire of the Feynapotter Kingdom mainly consists of ornate robes, leather belts, and long boots. The sleeves of the robes are a major feature, divided into inner and outer sleeves, with the inner sleeves longer than the outer sleeves, looking a bit like short sleeves worn over long sleeves.
The belts and long boots are made of leather, which is the "military attire" of the Feynapotter Kingdom's nobles. According to tradition, the king only bestows titles on meritorious officials after winning a battle, so they usually wear military attire when receiving a title.
Hobert thought that if it were in the feudal era of the Eastern and Western Zhou dynasties in China, wearing military attire to meet the monarch would have resulted in being dragged out and beheaded, as it would be tantamount to treating the monarch as an enemy.
While waiting, Hobert chatted with Christian about the traditional attire of the Loen Kingdom.
"You must not like wearing those clothes," Christian said with a smile. "I have had the honor of seeing them. They look like a dozen layers of clothes, making it difficult to walk. Thank goodness those clothes have been abolished."
As they were talking, the smiles suddenly disappeared from their faces, and their spirituality sensed a huge sense of oppression coming from outside.
So they both looked towards the door, where a middle-aged man, also dressed in traditional aristocratic attire of the Feynapotter Kingdom, appeared.
He looked to be in his forties, with black hair and a black beard, and a full beard. He wore a black felt hat and looked very easy-going.
Hobert's heart sank. When he came to the palace today, he had seen a statue of this person in the square in front of the palace! He was Philip I, the "founder" of the Feynapotter Kingdom! A figure who had once been loyal to the "Black Emperor" Solomon in the Fourth Epoch!
Later, he became loyal to the "Night Emperor" Trunsoest, and after the Night Emperor fell, he founded the country with the support of the Six Gods.
This "ancient person" is very likely to be a Sequence 1!
The sense of oppression just now must have come from him, but after seeing him, that sense of oppression disappeared.
Immediately afterward, the bronze book in Philip I's hand attracted Hobert's attention, because Hobert actually felt the power of the "Nation of Disorder" in the bronze book.
As the current owner of the "Nation of Disorder," this was easy to distinguish.
However, that power was very weak, giving Hobert the feeling that the bronze book was marked with the power of the "Nation of Disorder."
Then Hobert realized that the bronze book was very attracted to both him and Christian, and was definitely not an ordinary bronze book.
The protocol officers on the side were dumbfounded. They were also responsible for the royal family's sacrificial activities, so of course they knew who this easy-going middle-aged man was!
Christian was also knowledgeable. After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, he immediately realized something, so he used the court etiquette he had just learned to salute the middle-aged man and addressed him as "King."
Hobert also reacted and quickly followed suit.
While saluting, he noticed that Philip I was staring at his wrist.
Hobert's heart trembled slightly: Crap! He was attracted by the power of the "Nation of Disorder"! What to do?
At this moment, Philip I opened his mouth and said in a magnetic voice, "I just came to see the guests from Loen."
Hobert's mind raced, and he quickly took off the bracelet and held it out to Philip I with both hands, saying in fairly standard Feynapotter language, "This is a crystal bracelet that I accidentally obtained. It seems to have some special uses. I am willing to offer the bracelet to His Majesty. It will be my honor."
As he spoke, he withdrew the power of the "Nation of Disorder" from the bracelet, but the material of the bracelet was, after all, from the "Nation of Disorder," and it still possessed extraordinary charm.
Christian was slightly stunned, looked at the bracelet, and then glanced at Philip I. He had originally thought that Ferdinand II was giving him a show of strength, but Philip I seemed genuinely interested in the bracelet.
He was a little strange why such a great figure would notice such a crystal bracelet?
"Child, I cannot accept your offering for nothing." As he spoke, Philip I casually took off a ring from his hand, placed it in Hobert's palm, and took the bracelet from Hobert's palm: "I almost forgot its use. Take this little thing and play with it."
To Him, the ring now only had the function of an ornament.
The moment Philip I's fingertips touched Hobert, Hobert could feel the "Bell of Order" in the "Nation of Disorder" ringing again, and at the same time, the entire "Nation of Disorder" experienced a certain tremor, as if the lakes and pools were boiling.
Hobert used what looked like an agitated trembling to hide his discomfort: "Thank you for your reward."
However, it was not Philip I who caused the reaction in the "Nation of Disorder," but the bronze book!
It was as if it had a life of its own and wanted to open itself.
Philip I was also stunned. He pressed the bronze book that was about to open with his other hand and looked at the bracelet he was holding.
He could feel the extraordinary nature of the bracelet's material. He thought it was the bracelet that caused the bronze book to react in this way.
After all, the young man kneeling in front of him was only a Sequence 6, and not even on the "Arbiter" pathway, so it was impossible for him to cause the bronze book to react.
As an angel of the "Arbiter" pathway, he could not only see the strength of others, but also directly see what sequence they were and what pathway they were on.
Holding the bracelet in one hand and pressing on the bronze book with the other, Philip I left step by step.
The protocol officer immediately came over and said with a smile, "Congratulations to both of you! To be able to see such a great figure and have him accept your contribution is simply incredible luck!"
Christian echoed with a smile, while looking at Hobert with an inquiring gaze.
Hobert shook his head slightly: Now is not the time to talk about this.
He could feel that the boiling in the "Nation of Disorder" was still continuing, but he didn't dare to go in at all right now.
Fortunately, the conferment ceremony finally began.
