Jessica couldn't believe that she had been released after being questioned!
Moreover, when getting off the carriage, Scarface and the university professor each made a promise that if she encountered similar problems again, she could seek help from the Church of the Evernight Goddess or the Church of Steam and Machinery.
Jessica didn't expect that she, a wild Beyonder, would gain recognition from official Beyonders in this way!
As soon as she returned to the law firm, a colleague told Jessica that someone was looking for her.
Arriving at the reception room, Jessica saw a middle-aged man. He was wearing a scarf, obscuring his face, and she only knew that he was a large, fat man.
Jessica had a slight impression of him. She remembered that one day this fat man and several companions had waited for Lawyer Hobert at the firm.
His name seemed to be Austin.
Jessica remembered correctly. This was Austin. Upon seeing Jessica, he stood up and whispered, "If you can still contact Hobert, please warn him to be careful. Three mercenary groups have gone to the Feynapotter Kingdom to take his head for the bounty."
Before Jessica could react, Austin pushed open the door and left.
Jessica was first worried about Hobert's current situation, and then she decided to summon Hobert's messenger tonight to relay this warning.
Even if there were people from MI9 monitoring, she would still summon it, because this was a very urgent matter.
When Jessica arrived at her office, she found a letter lying on her desk.
The letter wasn't there when she left.
Picking up the letter, the envelope read: "Find a way to get this letter to him."
The "him" referred to Hobert, of course.
Holding the letter, Jessica sighed: Although Lawyer Hobert had left Backlund, his friends still cared about him.
Then she thought that the people from the Church of the Evernight Goddess and the Church of Steam and Machinery today might have protected her out of consideration for Hobert's reputation.
Jessica remembered that she had helped Hobert send letters to the two churches before.
After work, Jessica bought three discounted donuts on the way back and then went all the way to the Empress Borough, to their new residence.
The protector of the new residence was also the reason she dared to summon the messenger. Even if someone was monitoring, they would only dare to observe from a distance.
Carrie rested early today and was already recording her work insights and some inspiration.
Jessica was afraid that Carrie would worry about her, so she didn't tell Carrie about her great adventure today in advance. Now that the matter was over, Jessica told Carrie about her experiences today and her plan to summon the messenger later while eating dinner.
Carrie exclaimed, "Fortunately, you came back safely, otherwise I wouldn't know where to find you. The Church of Steam and Machinery didn't disappoint in this matter."
Carrie and Jessica were both believers of the God of Steam and Machinery.
After dinner, the two prepared the altar. After Jessica confirmed the ritual procedures with Carrie again and again, Jessica chanted the incantation in Hermes:
"I,
"In my name, I summon:
"The spirit wandering in the void, a friendly creature that can be driven, the messenger belonging solely to Hobert Jeffrey."
As soon as the incantation was finished, a gust of wind suddenly blew around the altar, the candlelight turned pale green, and the atmosphere in the entire room became strange.
Suddenly, the candlelight of one of the candles became higher and thicker, as if a phantom door opened from the candlelight, and a coffin floated out of the candlelight and stood upright in front of Jessica and Carrie.
This coffin gave the two people enormous mental pressure.
Creak~
A crack opened in the coffin, and a fair hand stretched out.
Jessica then reacted and put the letter in that hand.
But the fair hand did not retract, and after a second or two, it reminded, "Donuts."
Jessica, who was performing a similar ritual for the first time, reacted: "Oh, sorry."
She also put the donuts in that hand.
The fair hand retracted, the coffin returned to the spirit world, and the candlelight became normal.
After a long while, Carrie said, "This messenger's level is definitely very high."
...
Feynapotter Kingdom, Jeffrey Town, time returned to the morning.
Seel took Hobert to stroll around the town just below the "Lord's Manor" first. Although it was called a town, it only had three streets, one horizontal and two vertical.
Some residential houses were scattered among them. Looking down from the "Lord's Manor", the town seemed to have some scale, but when Hobert actually arrived in the town, he found that many houses were abandoned.
Nine and a half out of ten shops were closed. There was basically no activity in the town during the day.
The shop owners saluted Hobert after seeing him and confirming with Seel, and some people cursed York's betrayal and praised the Lord's fairness.
Hobert was quite satisfied with this effect.
However, after leaving the town, no one knew Hobert, and even no one knew Seel.
According to Seel's introduction, in addition to Jeffrey Town, Hobert's territory also included more than a dozen villages and the fiefs of two knights.
The villages were isolated, and after learning that there was a new lord, the villagers were respectful to Hobert, but they all showed a sense of alienation.
Hobert was not a "Spectator", but he could also see the subtext of their expressions and eyes: I hope this Lord can last a few more days.
At lunchtime, Hobert asked Seel, "Is Viscount Wright a very respected lord in everyone's eyes?"
Siel pondered for a moment before answering, "Many people miss the era of Viscount Wright's rule."
Hobert nodded. In that case, this Viscount Wright was at least a qualified lord, and any lord's rule was better than the current chaotic era, so everyone would of course miss him.
In the afternoon, they arrived at the territory of Knight Grov Duke. In this remote place, the knight's territory was just a slightly larger village.
As soon as they entered the territory, two squires with cold weapons came up to question them. After hearing that Hobert was the new lord, the two squires were full of disbelief, but one of the squires immediately went to report to the knight.
After a while, a knight in his fifties came out on a white horse. He did not dismount, but asked coldly, "Are you the one who claims to be the new lord?"
"Dismount!" Hobert said coldly.
Knight Grov Duke's first reaction was to obey the order of the young man in front of him, but he resisted the urge to dismount and said, "I have not received the relevant documents."
Hobert took two steps forward, jumped up, grabbed Grov's collar, and threw him to the ground: "This is the document you want!"
The squires immediately raised their weapons at Hobert. Hobert glanced at them and fully activated his "Corrosion" ability. The surrounding squires immediately cursed each other, and some even wrestled together.
Hobert glanced at the white horse: "Knight Duke, after this Lord arrived at the fief, not only did you not greet me, but you were also rude to this Lord. Now I will fine you one white horse as an example."
Grov struggled to get up, already wearing a smile: "Yes, yes, the white horse is yours."
Hobert rode the white horse, and Seel led it proudly. The master and servant left triumphantly.
