Hobert also came back to his senses after attending the Tarot Gathering: I painstakingly wasted so much effort, and I still have to "pay back" 860 pounds to Klein!
The income regarding Mr. Door's information was a total of 2550 pounds, but 510 pounds of it from "Little Sun" were paid with two Sequence 8-level main materials.
And now "Little Sun" is still "under review" and will be difficult to pay for a while.
So Hobert's "immediate income" is only 2040 pounds, and Hobert spent a total of 2900 pounds at this Tarot Gathering, so he has to sacrifice another 860 pounds to "The Fool."
However, when he saw the three Beyonder characteristics and the seven Sequence 8-level main materials from "Little Sun," Hobert forgot about the 860 pounds.
Hobert recognized three of these seven main materials, which were "Raging Grass," one of the main materials for "Barbarian."
He waited patiently for a while before sacrificing these Beyonder characteristics and extraordinary materials to the "Nation of Disorder" and used the "Power of Chaos" to crush the Beyonder characteristics, allowing them to separate and re-coagulate.
Hobert prepared a little, and at 7:55, he used "Travel" to go to Backlund.
Xio and Fors, who had been sitting in the living room waiting, suddenly saw the space in front of them become illusory, and a familiar figure walked out of the illusion: "Good evening, ladies!"
Xio covered her mouth: "Oh my god, Hobert, what, what was that ability just now?"
Hobert smiled and said, "An ability that Fors will have in the future. It only takes about two minutes to travel from the Feynapotter Kingdom to Backlund!"
Fors shook her head: "It made us worry for nothing. We thought you were going to sneak into Backlund to carry out some sabotage activities. We even prepared to hide in the East Borough for a while after being targeted by the MI9 people."
"There's no need for that." Hobert said, "You moved out of the rental house early, and the MI9 people will only do a simple investigation at most, and will not monitor you.
"And the ability of 'Travel' is very hidden, it is difficult for them to find my trace."
The three people sat around the dining table, and Fors poured a cup of tea for Hobert: "Why did you betray the country?"
If it were ordinary friends, Fors would not ask this question, but with her understanding of Hobert, Hobert would not be angry because of such a question.
"This involves high-level power struggles and unfair treatment of my father by the military." Hobert took a sip of tea: "As for me, I followed along in a daze."
Fors and Xio nodded, which was similar to what they had learned.
Xio asked again: "How is the Feynapotter Kingdom? Is their government department really as inefficient as the rumors say?"
Hobert was stunned: "I don't know much about this. I was made a baron and am now in my own fief."
Fors: "We saw it in the newspaper. I remember you said that your current potion name is 'Baron of Corruption'. Being made a baron should be what you call 'seeking new development,' right?"
"Thank you for paying so much attention to my movements." Hobert paused and said, "This time I came back because I encountered a trouble and needed a very trusted friend to help, so I thought of you two."
This made Xio and Fors very happy. Of course, they would be happy to be trusted by friends.
Fors immediately said: "If there is anything you need help with, just say it, we will definitely do our best to help you solve your troubles."
They had secretly made up their minds that they owed Hobert so many favors before, they must help Hobert with this favor.
Before Xio could express her opinion, Hobert clapped his hands and said, "That's great, in fact, that favor is also very simple for you."
Fors nodded: "You say."
"Be my baroness."
The room was quiet for three seconds, and then Xio and Fors blushed together.
Xio said: "Ho, Hobert, this is too sudden, I mean, you are not even engaged, and you have not even met each other's parents, and your wedding room should..."
"Xio, that's not the point." Fors looked at Hobert: "This joke is not funny at all."
Hobert smiled: "This is not a joke. A secret organization sent a lady to monitor me. I need a baroness to deal with her.
"Maybe it's because I'm too handsome and capable. Many nobles in Feynapotter want to stuff their daughters to me.
"At this time, I realized that I needed the assistance of a trustworthy baroness, so I thought of you, Miss Fors."
"But, but..." Fors "but" for a long time, and didn't know how to describe her current feelings.
Xio didn't know whether to say "congratulations" at this time, or to carefully ask Hobert's views on marriage?
Hobert smiled when he saw Fors's embarrassment: "It's not really becoming my baroness, it's more like a 'contract couple'. You can think of the baroness as a profession.
"Well, I plan to spend 2,000 pounds a year as a reward for hiring you.
"I can lend you a magical item with 'Travel', you can freely travel between Feynapotter and Backlund.
"We declare to the outside world that we are husband and wife, but in reality, we are still good friends, and nothing beyond friendship has happened."
Fors breathed a long sigh of relief, and at the same time, she found that she felt a little lost in her heart.
Hobert drank the tea in the cup: "Sorry, I just scared you, I had no other way but to ask you for help."
Fors thought of her confident look just now, and suddenly felt a little blushing: "Contract couple", this seems to be the beginning of a standard romance novel.
She also saw Hobert's sincere expression, thought of her trust in Hobert, and the idea of repaying Hobert's favor a long time ago.
Fors considered for about five or six seconds, nodded and said: "Hobert, I am willing to help you, but, please follow your promise just now."
Hobert immediately said: "Don't worry, I will pay you 1,000 pounds as a deposit tomorrow morning!"
Fors's cheeks turned red again: "I'm talking about 'contract couple'!"
Hobert smiled: "No problem, since you agreed to help, then I will pick you up in the living room tomorrow morning and go to the fief to adapt to the environment there first.
"Oh, by the way, remember to prepare a suitcase, like you came to my fief from afar."
He got up and said, "Well, you two, I won't disturb your rest."
After speaking, Hobert used "Travel" to leave.
The living room was quiet for a while, and Xio smiled: "Congratulations, Baroness."
Fors glanced at her: "I still lack a maid, why don't you pretend to be one?"
...
The next morning, at eight o'clock, Hobert appeared in the living room again in the costume of a Feynapotter noble.
Fors came out of her room. She was obviously slightly dressed up. The yellow dress set off her slender waist and long legs, and her unique lazy temperament became particularly charming.
Hobert's eyes swept over Fors's figure, and it was no problem to suppress Helen.
He stretched out his hand: "Please, my fiancee, Miss Fors."
