Hobert had memories of riding horses in his mind, but they were a little rusty because he "hadn't ridden in a long time". However, as long as he didn't gallop, riding slowly wouldn't be a problem.
Leading the horse, Seel excitedly said, "I didn't expect that the Knight Lord, who could fight a monster alone, would be thrown to the ground by the Baron!"
"Baron, if I have the opportunity to receive your grace in the future, and you teach me combat skills, can I become as powerful as you?"
Hobert smiled: "It's possible, but you have to be mentally prepared. If there's a chance, I'll test your psychological endurance. If you have talent in this area, I'll make you my captain of the guard in the future!"
Seel was so excited that he gesticulated wildly. He tried hard to restrain himself to appear more composed, but he still couldn't help but chuckle.
Hobert's territory was divided by a small mountain range. On this side of the mountain were Jeffery Town, eight villages, and the territory of Knight Duke.
On the other side of the mountain were five villages and the territory of Knight Louis.
In addition, the middle mountain range was relatively gentle, and there was a flat area on the top of the mountain, where there were also three villages.
"Baron, it's getting late. Let's go to the top of the mountain and the other side tomorrow." Seel hesitated and said, "Going to the other side of the mountain requires... requires passing the original church."
Hobert nodded: "The murderer who killed Viscount Wright, the so-called ' lord' lives there, right?"
Seel: "Yes, they are a group of robbers. They not only don't care about our lives, but also desperately levy taxes from us."
Hobert said "Hmm" : "We'll leave early tomorrow and pay them a visit."
"Yes."
When they returned to the " Lord's Mansion", it was already dusk.
As soon as he entered the door, Hobert felt that the mansion had changed greatly. The weeds in the yard were gone, and an old man and a young man he didn't recognize were trimming the flowers and plants in the yard.
The original stone slabs and floor tiles on the ground were all highlighted, and although it still looked a little dilapidated, it already had a bit of the feeling of a noble mansion.
When Phillip saw Hobert returning, he quickly greeted him: "Baron, today I hired a dozen people to clean up the yard and rooms, and also found the original gardener and his son to help you trim the flowers and plants."
"I also found a few carpenters and masons to come and repair the Lord's Mansion starting tomorrow."
Hobert nodded: "You can arrange it."
Dinner was still bought back from the town by Seel. Hobert moved into a larger room. Phillip said that the Wright family had died in the main hall, and none of the rooms were stained with even a drop of blood.
After dinner, Hobert called all the servants over and warned them that no one should go to the courtyard where he lived between 10 pm and 8 am the next day.
To the surprise of Seel and others, Hobert returned to his bedroom alone and took out the oil painting and the two-handed sword that he had never used, using the method of bestowal.
Hobert planned to use the oil painting to "stand guard" for himself in the future. The oil painting would be activated from 10 pm to 8 am the next day.
After being sealed, the oil painting would not be affected by negative effects within ten hours of use.
As the owner of the oil painting, Hobert would not be affected by the curse of the oil painting and the invasion of dreams, but if a stranger broke in, he would definitely be cursed by the oil painting.
As for the two-handed sword, it had no use in Backlund.
Now Hobert had the final say in the surrounding dozens of miles. Not to mention a two-handed sword, no one would care if he carried a steam rifle on the street.
Before Hobert could activate the oil painting, he felt something and saw a wall suddenly become illusory, and a coffin floated out of the illusion and stood in front of Hobert.
It was the messenger!
A letter flew out of the crack in the coffin and landed in Hobert's hand.
Hobert glanced at the envelope. It was Jessica's letter.
He noticed that the messenger didn't disappear immediately, so he asked: "Didn't Jessica pay you?"
This remote place, where would he go to find doughnuts?
"No." There was a crisp female voice from the coffin: "Tell your friend, if she uses doughnuts that are about to go bad as payment again, I will kidnap her to the spirit world and have her make doughnuts for me for three months."
Hobert smiled: "I will definitely warn her in my reply! That's outrageous. How can she use doughnuts that are about to go bad as payment?"
The coffin then disappeared into the spirit world.
Hobert opened the letter in the candlelight. There were two more letters and several folded pieces of paper in the envelope.
The pages were Jessica's letter to Hobert. She briefly described that after she sent out the letters Hobert had asked her to send last Tuesday, she and her colleagues were interrogated by the police and MI9.
She spent three days in the detention center and paid a large bail before being released.
As Hobert had expected, Barton retained Hobert's team, and Jessica is now the senior lawyer of this team.
Jessica also talked about what happened in the parliament today, and the church's help to her.
Finally, she mentioned Austin's warning, telling Hobert to be careful and guard against.
Hobert glanced at the oil painting hanging on the wall. He hung the oil painting to guard against those mercenary teams who wanted to earn bounty.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Originally, I was a member of the mercenary club, but I didn't expect to become the target pursued by the club's mercenaries.
In addition to lamenting, Hobert went to read the other two letters. One of them was Selena's letter, which was similar to the previous letters, all asking for some mystical knowledge.
However, the knowledge she asked for this time was much more professional and was already approaching mystical knowledge.
After opening the other letter, he realized that it was Harvey Hayden's letter.
At the " Sapphire Resort", Christian had mentioned Harvey Hayden, who was indeed a soldier brought out by him and Rex.
Hobert had only caught a few petty thieves with Harvey Hayden. It was during that operation that Hobert ran into George III's travel.
Harvey Hayden was also reminding Hobert to be careful of the three mercenary teams, and listed the strength of the three mercenary teams.
The captains of the " Cold Night Squad" and " Prairie Wolf Squad" were both Sequence 5, and although the captain of the " Blizzard Squad" was Sequence 6, there were also two Sequence 6 members in the team, so their strength should not be underestimated.
In addition, Harvey Hayden also heard that MI9 had also organized people to assassinate Hobert. He told Hobert to be vigilant.
After carefully reading the letter, Hobert began to reply. He briefly instructed Jessica a few words and told her that the doughnuts used as payment in the future must be fresh.
Then Hobert wrote back to Selena and Harvey Hayden, respectively. Hobert had previously exchanged mailing addresses with Harvey Hayden.
After writing the letter, he was stunned. He didn't have any doughnuts!
There was no way but to go to Feynapotter City.
