Hobert's Three-Part Honorific Name

Chapter 18 Hobert's Three-Part Honorific Name

Hobert's use of his abilities when communicating with Weir is a good example.

Only by influencing Will's thinking can one change his mind, and even then, the degree of distortion is not very large.

Of course, it could also be because the potion hasn't been "digested" yet. Hobart judged that if the "Lawyer" potion were fully "digested," its ability to distort others' language and change their thoughts might be enhanced.

But Hobart discovered that he was still too weak.

They have the ability to discover the enemy's weaknesses, but lack the method to attack them.

This is Sequence 9, which only has a few incredible abilities that are different from ordinary people, but in terms of "attack power" and "defense power", it is only slightly stronger than ordinary people.

Hobart decided to buy a cane after get off work today. He used to look down on people on the street who had no limps or foot problems but used canes.

Looking back now, isn't the purpose of a walking stick to be ready to deal with some unexpected dangers at any time?

So, a walking stick is a weapon, and it's always ready to crack someone's skull open. What a load of rubbish, a "walking stick"!

Then there was the revolver; Hobart clearly remembered the "power" of the pistol in the Blue Knight bar.

But his marksmanship...

The most important thing next is to find a place to practice my marksmanship!

With a gun and a cane, Hobart was able to face some dangers with composure, and even fight against other Sequence 9 Beyonders. He now had the ability to put up a fight.

Then he thought that Christine should know where to practice shooting, after all, he was a high-ranking officer, so he would ask him at dinner.

Around 3 p.m., Barton called Hobart into his office again and gave him three cases, which would be Hobart's main work for the following week.

After explaining the work, Barton asked curiously, "How do you plan to spend the money you just received?"

Hobart smiled and said, "I want to buy Donna a dress, buy Tyron an expensive pen, and then get myself a gun license."

"A gun license?" Hobart's answer clearly surprised Patton.

"Yes, I think I'll probably be going to the East District a lot in the future. Guns have enough of a deterrent effect in the East District, which will save me a lot of trouble," Hobart said, half-jokingly.

Patton nodded: "Have Bogill help you get your gun license on Monday; he's more experienced in that area."

At the end of the conversation, Barton smiled and said, "Congratulations, young man. You've withstood the test of money. It's rare to see a young man with such composure."

Hobart smiled in response, but thought to himself: What kind of test is 60 or 70 pounds? If you gave me 6 pounds, I would definitely succumb to you immediately.

After work, Hobart went to the department store and spent 10 sous to buy a black wooden walking stick, and then spent 2 pounds 1 sous to buy a pocket watch engraved with the symbol of the goddess of night, and an ordinary watch chain.

It wasn't that Hobart suddenly had a change of heart and started worshipping the goddess of night again; rather, these inexpensive pocket watches only had a few common styles, while the designs related to the goddess of night, the god of storms, and the god of steam looked more exquisite.

As someone who traveled from modern society, Hobart would be restless if he couldn't know the time at all times, which is why he reluctantly bought a pocket watch.

Then, as he had said in the afternoon, Hobart bought a dress for his sister, a pen for his brother, a silk scarf for his foster mother Monissa, and a pair of leather gloves for Christine. These purchases totaled £5.20, making Hobart feel as if his heart was bleeding.

The whole family was delighted to receive Hobart's gift. Donna said with a grin, "Hobart, now that you're rich, can you treat my brother and me to fancy meals more often?"

Monissa said seriously, "Don't even think about asking Hobart for pocket money." Then she said to Hobart, "We appreciate your kindness, but don't squander your earnings in the future; save up your own money."

Hopper nodded. "I understand, Mother." He then said to Donna, "If you're going to a museum or a bookstore, I'd be happy to pay for it."

"As for the food outside, it's nowhere near as good as home-cooked food."

After he started working, he ate out for lunch, which cost about 1 sous and 3 pence per meal, and the taste was really not good.

Donna was somewhat disappointed: "The food at Intis Restaurant is quite good, and it has a very exotic feel."

Hobart suddenly remembered that the Intis restaurant in Backlund was apparently owned by the daughter of Emperor Roselle. He could go and take a look when he had time, but not now.

As dinner was drawing to a close, Hobart asked Christine where she could practice shooting.

Christine thought for a moment and then said, "Tomorrow morning, I'll take you to join the Mercenary Club. There's a free shooting range there, and you can also get some very valuable information or opportunities."

Hobart had heard of the Mercenary Club before; it was a semi-official club with many mercenary teams and veterans as members.

As far as Hobart knew, some missions that were not suitable for the military to handle, such as reconnaissance, espionage, and assassination, would be carried out by mercenaries through the mercenary club.

Some archaeological and commercial activities that do not receive military protection and involve certain dangers will also post missions through the Mercenary Club, hiring a team of mercenaries to protect the archaeological team or caravan.

From what Christine said, it seems that the mercenary club also has mechanisms for information exchange.

After finishing dinner, Hobart returned to his room, locked the door, and prepared to explore the "Land of Chaos" again.

"The Immortal Venerable of Blessing and Profound Yellow..." The black tide reappeared before his eyes, and Hobert entered the "Land of Chaos" by walking in reverse.

Through his exploration over the past few days, he discovered that by sitting on the "Iron Throne," he could wield a certain power over both order and disorder.

For example, it can make a small chaotic area nearby orderly, and the original chaotic state will become a definite state such as land and rocks.

The forces of disorder, on the other hand, can turn an orderly area into a chaotic one, where land, rocks, flowers, and trees all mix together.

However, Hobart is still unclear about the extent to which the power of order and disorder has an impact outside the "Disorderly Kingdom".

So today he plans to learn from Klein, design his own three-part honorific name, and then pray for his own power to see if he can project the power of the "Kingdom of Order" into the outside world.

Thinking of this, Hobart couldn't help but chuckle. Klein was helping Emperor Roselle "cross the river," while he himself was helping Klein "cross the river."

Hobert sits on the Iron Throne, and the first thing he says is his own name, and he must first have a title, such as Klein's "The Fool".

This title has a certain degree of autonomy, as long as it has sufficient connection with future sequences. For example, a goddess might refer to herself as "Goddess of the Night" instead of "Goddess of Darkness." Or, for instance, the "Sun," which sounds like an insult, might refer to herself as "Eternal Sun."

Only a "beacon of destiny" like Klein could call himself "The Fool" right from the start.

Following this line of thought, Hobart realized that he was now the master of the "Land of Chaos," and that this "Source Matter" was the necessary material for the Black Emperor and the Judges to become the Old Ones.

After Hobert came into this world, he could only choose the "lawyer path," and he chose the "Emperor" card from the Tarot. This must be the arrangement of fate, or perhaps the arrangement of a god who holds the power of fate?

So the title must be related to "Emperor." Hobart pinched it and began to break it down. In this extraordinary world, "Emperor" is a single word, but in Hobart's hometown, the two words are a compound word.

"Huang" refers to heaven or the supreme, while "Di" means creator.

Hobert had an idea: he could call himself the "Creator"! After all, "Supreme" and "Unrivaled" didn't sound good, and "God" sounded like an insult.

Once you have a title, the preceding description is crucial; it must refer to yourself.

Klein has already used the phrase "not belonging to this era," and if Hobart uses it again, who knows where he'll be pointing.

"From the past"? That seems too broad.

After pondering for a while, Hobart decided that since he couldn't find a suitable description of his origins, he might as well describe it in the context of the "Land of Chaos." He was now the master of the "Iron Throne," so describing the "Land of Chaos" would also point to him.

Hobart quickly came up with a good description: the shadow of order!

He remembered that this was a direct description of a "disordered country" and also a description of a "black emperor," which was very fitting for him.

So the first definite title is: Creator in the Shadow of Order!

--------------

The following is the author who has returned from over 500 chapters (￣▽￣) to talk to everyone about the issue of "saintly mothers".

Because of the later plot developments, many friends commented that the protagonist's behavior was a bit too saintly.

This made the author realize a problem: many people's thinking has been misled, and their understanding of "saintly mother" has become somewhat distorted.

We can look to Europeans and Americans today for examples of this. They have repeatedly sacrificed the interests of their own people to help immigrants and Black people. Moreover, they apply double standards, severely punishing their own people for their mistakes while being very lenient towards immigrants and Black people.

The so-called Holy Mother basically meets one of these two conditions.

Just like Cheng Xin in "The Three-Body Problem", she sacrificed the interests of her compatriots to achieve her personal reputation and so-called universal love.

The problem now is that when public intellectuals talk about how bad China is, few people believe them anymore. But I've noticed that these bastards really like to use fallacies to change the subject.

Take the concept of the Virgin Mary, for example. If someone helps their fellow countrymen or helps those in need to the best of their ability, is that considered being a Virgin Mary?

The author believes that there is nothing wrong with helping the weak as long as it does not harm the interests of one's fellow citizens. Or, to put it another way, helping the weak without harming the interests of kind people is not being a saint.

On the contrary, this is something only a "knight-errant" in the Chinese concept would do! We don't have to praise it, but we shouldn't criticize it either.

Originally, the author didn't intend to discuss this matter, but it turns out that many people are influenced by the current misleading statements, where honesty and trustworthiness are seen as foolishness, and helping others is seen as being a saint.

In modern society, we should not readily help others, but being a sophisticated selfish person is not necessarily right either.

Cultural rise is not just about making a few good movies; it's about each and every one of us having a broad mind.

Finally, the author knows that some will accuse the author of being overly sentimental. The author can only say that while the world is indeed inherently dark, there is light within that darkness. Neither you nor I have the resolve to be that light, but we should try our best not to block it, nor allow ourselves to fall completely into darkness.

Finally, to avoid any ambiguity, it must be clarified here that the light and radiance the author refers to do not refer to the Virgin Mary, but rather to those who, in this utilitarian society, are still willing to help others.

Also, I'd like to promote this book again. It has been in the top three of the monthly votes for Mystery Fanfiction for four consecutive months, and the results have been pretty good. So please feel free to jump in (￣▽￣).

Please vote for me! Please give me your monthly tickets!
