Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 425 The Circular Exploration Encountered by Little Sun
Hobert had just learned about the situation of the "Nohar" in the study when he heard the sound of prayers from the "Nation of Disorder".

He praised Kerwin a few words and asked him to continue to watch at the pier so that nothing would go wrong.

After Kerwin left, Hobert locked the door, and it turned out that Lawrence presided over the sacrifice.

The altar was full of sacrifices. Hobert took a quick look and found that there were 3 Level 1 Sealed Artifacts!Mainly Level 2 Sealed Artifacts, there are as many as 13, and 5 Level 3 Sealed Artifacts.

According to Lawrence's description in front of the altar, Hobert knew that one of the three level 3 sealed items was formed by the out-of-control demigod imprisoned by the "Bull Demon King" in the previous battle.

The other two, one from a dead saint of the "School of the Rose" and one from a demigod.

The other sacrifices are all from the Beyonder characteristics of the enemy, most of them are the Beyonder characteristics of the "prisoner" path, and some of the Beyonder characteristics of the "Pharmacist" path.

Hobert was not polite to them, and with a wave of his hand, they all swiped into the "Gate of Sacrifice".

He deserved it, because the fight "builder" played a major role.

Then Lawrence held the Balk family's allegiance ceremony to the "Founder". After Hobart responded briefly, he couldn't wait to cast his eyes on the huge pile of spoils.

First of all, he looked at the three Level 1 Sealed Artifacts, among which the one he got from the Saint turned out to be a Sealed Artifact from the "wrong" way!

The ability is: "You can steal conceptual things, such as distance, location, etc.; you can steal and keep a certain item, and present it at the right time; you can accurately steal the ability you want from the target!"

Hobert sighed: It really is a Level 1 Sealed Artifact, and this ability is almost "generationally inferior" to "Pocket Watch of Pirates of Dreams".

However, the negative effects cannot be ignored: "It's easy to lose things, have a bad memory, and sometimes even forget that you are in the middle of a battle; it's easy to lose things, the more important or valuable things are, the easier it is to lose them; it's easy to encounter' Extraordinary who are on the wrong path to demigod and above."

Hobert suddenly recalled, he remembered that there seemed to be a saint from the "Rose School of Thought" who had met Amon and was stolen by Amon. Could it be the saint who was killed in this battle?

Well, this sealed item is good, but it cannot be used in the real world for the time being. In case Amon comes to collect the coins from the gas meter one day, there is no place to cry.

Hobert didn't even try to seal this sealed item this time. He sensed through spirituality that before he became a demigod, he used the "Nation of Disorder" to seal the first-level sealed item extremely limited.

And even if it can be effectively sealed, a Level 1 Sealed Artifact can be carried at most two to three on the body.

First of all, even if it can be effectively sealed, the negative effects of level 1 sealed items are also very powerful, and often the holder will encounter great danger because of the sealed items.

Just like the Sealed Artifact in Hobart's hand: he forgets that he is in the middle of a battle; it is easy to encounter a demigod or above powerhouse who is in the "wrong" way.

Either way, it would be fatal to the current Hobart.

The second is that as one's own strength becomes stronger, sealed items and magical items will gradually become auxiliary items. If one relies too much on sealed items, the cart before the horse will be reversed.

Only at the stage of Sequence 6 or Sequence 7, the Extraordinary's spirituality is relatively strong, and his own strength and extraordinary ability are not enough to make up for his shortcomings, he can equip as many magical items as possible, or some negative effects are not A very strong Level 2 Sealed Artifact.

At Sequence 5 or above, the demand for magical items or sealed items has decreased, and the negative effects of level 1 sealed items themselves make it difficult to wear multiple items at the same time.

Therefore, Hobert intends to use the Sealed Artifacts he received today as the accumulation of the Extraordinary Organization he will build in the future, and when he may use which Sealed Artifacts, he will go to the "Nation of Disorder" to get them.

The other two Level 1 Sealed Artifacts are all Sealed Artifacts of the "Prisoner" pathway, mainly cursing, possessing a strong physique and the ability to endow objects with spirituality.

Of the 13 level 2 sealed items, 7 of them are also sealed items of the "Prisoner" pathway, 3 are of the "Corpse Collector" pathway, 2 are of the "Pharmacist" pathway, and 1 are of the "Lawyer" pathway. of seals.

The sealed item of the "Lawyer" pathway came from a member of the Balk family who died in a previous battle.

The other 5 level 3 sealed items are all kinds of curses, which can make the opponent suffer inexplicable damage.

The stone platform that Hobert manifested before could no longer hold these sealed items, so he simply manifested a larger stone platform to hold the proceeds of this battle.

Then he looked at those Extraordinary characteristics. This time he received as many as 73 pieces of Extraordinary characteristics, of which 66 were the Beyonder characteristics of the "prisoner" path, ranging from Sequence 7 to Sequence 3.

It was also the first time for Hobart to obtain the Extraordinary characteristics of the demigod and saint level, and he obtained 4 pieces at once!
There are also seven Extraordinary characteristics of the "Pharmacist" path, from Sequence 7 to Sequence 7, presumably there are followers of "Prime Moon" who participated in this battle.

While being happy, Hobert suddenly realized a problem. Most of these Extraordinary items cannot be realized immediately, or he will not take the initiative to realize them!
For example, the extraordinary characteristics of the three "puppets" and the extraordinary characteristic of the "silent disciple", he would not do anything.

It is impossible for Hobert to circulate such strategic materials to the "Rose School of Thought", unless they are sold to members of the "Temperance School" like "Miss Bodyguard".

But the only members of the "temperance faction" that Hobert knew were Sharon and Maric, and if they were exhausted, they would be able to sell two Extraordinary characteristics.

There should be other members of the "temperance faction", right?Hobert didn't think about such a question before, but now that he thinks about it, Hobert thinks that the "temperance faction" should be like some Extraordinary families, in order to avoid being wiped out by the enemy, they choose to disperse and hide.

If the "temperance faction" only includes Sharon, Maric, and "Miss Messenger", then they have the nerve to call them "temperance faction"?This is clearly the "temperance team", no, it is the "temperance trio".

In addition, for the Extraordinary characteristics below demigods, Hobert does not plan to realize them in large quantities until he finds a suitable channel.

After all, now that the Balk family has pledged their allegiance to him, and they have just experienced huge battle damage, if they add ammunition to the "Rose School" at this time, then this battle will be meaningless.

Currently, only the seven Extraordinary characteristics of the "pharmacist" path can be sold, but not all of them. Hobert plans to train a few "pharmacists" himself, and let them sit in the hospital in the small town in the future.

But most of them can be cashed out, because Hobert didn't plan to let these "pharmacists" advance too quickly, otherwise it would be difficult for them to continue to sit in the hospital with peace of mind.

Hobert babbled and babbled. He originally thought that this time he had gained a lot, but in the end most of them couldn't be realized.

Thinking of this, Hobert slapped himself on the head: Idiot, Extraordinary characteristics are something that can preserve value better than gold, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?Look at the poor god... Cough cough, look at Mr. Ke, what kind of life did he live before going to sea?After going to sea, I basically realized financial freedom.

Hobert's self-comfort made his mind balance a lot.

Then he thought again: I can't become arrogant just because I have angel-level combat power. After all, they have a limit on the number of times they can be used. Before you become an angel, you must use them carefully!
Following this line of thought, Hobert realized that he really didn't seem to have anything to be proud of. The combat power at the angel level was cool, but it could only be used for prayers of favored ones.

Because those two guys attacked indiscriminately, and they didn't give the "creator" any face!
Hobert needs to keep using the "power of order" to protect the prayers in the "land of disorder".

If he used the way of praying to himself and using the combat power of the angel level, then the most likely result would be that his body would be destroyed, and Hobert would stay in the "Nation of Disorder" forever.

Hobert babbled and babbled again. He thought he was powerful and rich, but it turned out to be his own illusion?
You can't say that, Hobert refuted himself: After all, you can still pretend to use them in front of the favored ones, and you can also use them to gain benefits from the favored ones.It's just that those favored ones are very clever, thinking that the "creator" would not like paper currency or gold and other property, and generally only sacrifice some sealed items that they think are more precious.

Don't you know that the "creator" is a miser, and he is not willing to cash out the sealed item?
In the end, Hobert turned his attention to those Extraordinary characteristics, and his mood gradually became more beautiful again.

……

Southern Continent, outside Crowlier City.

After burying the bodies of their companions, the members of the Balk family said their final farewell to them together.

Many members have already started praying to the "Creator" for the souls of the dead. Elliott took this opportunity to announce the name of the "Creator" to everyone.

The members who prayed just now were embarrassed to find that the "creator" had no "business" about the undead.

On the way back, Lawrence called Elliott over: "Write a letter to the 'God's Favored' as soon as possible. I want to talk to him about the development direction of the Balk family in the future."

Commonly known as "report work".

Elliott nodded: "I'll write right away."

"Also." Lawrence warned again: "I heard that the 'God's Favored One' has some Extraordinary features of the 'Lawyer' pathway. Please write to me and ask if we can buy some."

For every Extraordinary characteristic of a "lawyer", the Balk family would lose one lunatic.

Elliott nodded: "I will mention this to the 'God's Favored One'."

……

Fenepot Kingdom, Geoffrey Territory.

Hobart, who was resting on the bed while reading the magazines he brought from Forsi's room, received two letters from the courier one after another.

One from Elliott, one from Rafter.

After the messenger left, Hobert read Elliott's letter first, and it was of course no problem to send out a group of "lawyers" with Extraordinary characteristics.

Just now he counted in the "Nation of Disorder". For such a long time, he has actually accumulated more than a dozen copies of the Extraordinary characteristics of "Lawyer", "Barbarian", and "Briber".

Putting so many Extraordinary characteristics on there would be waste. Now is the time when Jeffrey is short of money. Even if the other party doesn't tell him, Hobert will find an opportunity to sell it.

As for discussing the future development plan of the Balk family, we can talk about it in two days. He has consumed too much spirituality today, and he really doesn't want to move anymore.

So he asked Allen outside the door to order the kitchen to make donuts, and then went to read Rafter's letter.

It turned out that Rafter wanted to leave Backlund, but he was afraid of being noticed by the royal family, so he hoped that the "God's Favoured One" could help.

Hobart stretched himself and went to the study to reply to Elliott and Rafter respectively.

He made an appointment with Rafter at 8 a.m. tomorrow, and with Elliott at 8 a.m. on Tuesday.

When the donuts were ready, Hobert summoned the messenger.

Just when Hobert paid for 6 donuts, he suddenly thought: "I remember your surname is Tudor, right?"

"Yes."

"Are you a member of the Tudor family?"

"Yes." The messenger was a little strange: "Why are you suddenly so polite and start using 'you'?"

Hobert smiled: "I just have a question to ask, you should have participated in the 'Battle of the Four Emperors'?"

"One question, three donuts."

"No problem!" Hobert looked, there were seven donuts on the plate, enough.

"I participated in the 'Battle of the Four Emperors'." Messenger: "Three donuts."

"That counts?"

"Forget it. Six donuts."

Hobert made a "stop" gesture, and said to the outside: "Let the kitchen bring two more donuts!"

He took a deep breath and asked, "Do you know the origin, function and current status of the 'Trensost Imperium'?"

"Yes. Nine donuts."

Hobert stared at the coffin for four or five seconds, maybe the messenger was a little embarrassed, and added: "I just know."

She said: "I also know that the clues of the 'Empire' may be hidden in the city of San Diego! It used to be the capital of Solomon's First Empire, but now it has disappeared into the dust of history."

Hobert wondered: "Why did the clues of the 'Trensost Empire' be hidden in the capital of Solomon's first empire? I remember that when Solomon fell for the first time, that city disappeared? And the 'Empire' The 'horn' was not created until hundreds of years later."

The messenger replied: "As far as I know, the capital of Solomon's First Empire is on the south coast of the Middle Sea, at the source of the Hornacis Mountains, which used to be the territory of the Trunsost Empire.

"And the Night Emperor is a 'judge'. He has a mystical connection to his own territory, which is manifested by knowing some secrets in his own territory, such as knowing where the capital of Solomon's First Empire disappeared.

"The Night Emperor fell too quickly, and the Trensost family was not prepared at all. When they were chased and killed by the Six Gods, some of them fled to Dissi County, which is now Loen. It is said that this part fled to the Southern Continent later.

"Some of them fled to Jianhai County, which is now Loen. It is said that they hid in the city of San Diego, and have never appeared in people's sights since then.

"The two parts of the members took away most of the wealth of the Trunsost Empire, including the knowledge of the empire, related scientific and technological achievements, etc. There are reliable intelligence proofs, the design drawings of the 'Empire' and many related intelligence and The information was taken away by the group of people going north."

She paused and said, "Twelve donuts."

Hobert nodded repeatedly, not to mention twelve, he recognized 120!
Sure enough, an old family is like a treasure!
At this time, Allen came back from the kitchen and said to Hobert, "My lord, the kitchen said that there are only thirteen or four donuts in one oven, and I brought them all for you."

Although he couldn't see the expression of the messenger in the coffin, Hobert could clearly feel her frustration.

Hobert hurriedly said: "I'll give you these seven first, and I'll make up the five owed to you when I send a letter next time. Well, I'll add three interest to you, and I'll give you eight in total!"

Only then did the messenger leave contentedly.

Allen outside asked again: "My lord, do you want to make another furnace for you?"

"No need." Hobert said, "That's what I'm asking, if you don't have it, then you don't have it."

He sat on the chair behind the desk, thinking about taking some time to go to Jianhai County to look for the disappeared city?

But this is not the important thing now. Hobert returned to his room and continued to read the magazine, but every few lines he read, he would think about the matter of the "Empire".

……

In the land abandoned by the gods, in the city that has converted to the "Fallen Creator".

The Silver City team set up a camp in the leeward area and rested in the camp for a while.

When the frequency of lightning gradually became stable, Colin, who was sitting cross-legged and leaning on the stone pillar, said, "Start after 50 lightning strikes."

The members immediately began to make the final preparations, and they arrived at the periphery of the abandoned temple during their cautious exploration.

Inside the temple, they saw the statue of the "Fallen Creator" and saw a large number of murals.

On the mural that Derrick saw, several characters were painted, including a girl in a black classical dress, her face was blurred, and there were strange eyes looming around her.

There was also a young male in a pure white robe, his face painted pure gold.

On the lower right is a graceful lady with a baby with a rotting face in her arms, black ears of wheat at her feet, springs of squirming flesh and herbs dripping with pus...

Derrick looked all the way, and there were six images in total, the other three were sea monsters, an old man with a strange smile holding a book, and a giant warrior wearing dilapidated armor.

The general meaning of these murals is that the catastrophe came, six evil gods climbed out of the abyss, and the "fallen creator" took most of the guilt and pain in order to save the world, and because of this, the symbols were eroded and the image changed .

Continuing to look forward, Derrick saw the relevant text that means "Rose of Redemption", as well as a long procession walking on the plain, their goal is the high mountain in the distance, and the cross on the top of the mountain.

At the front of the line was a tall and thin man with long silver hair hanging down his back, and behind him were layers of shining wings.

It's an angel!
Derrick recalled the information he had received from Mr. Emperor, that the "Rose of Redemption" seemed to be an organization loyal to the "Fallen Creator".

As for this long line, Derrick thought sadly: They came from the southern and northern continents that Miss Justice and the others said, and most of them died on the road, or died in the "God" Abandoned land".

After passing the main hall with murals and the statue of the "Fallen Creator", they came to the room behind the main hall, which seemed to be an altar.

"Woooooo~"

There seemed to be a cry behind the altar.

It was not the first time for everyone to perform an exploration mission, and they didn't have much fear, they just stared closely at the dark space ahead.

Chief Colin ordered calmly: "Derrick, Joshua, go around and take a look."

Derrick carried the animal skin lantern, and cautiously walked around behind the altar with Joshua.

As the darkness was gradually dispelled by the light, they saw a black shadow curled up behind the altar.

Two steps forward, they finally saw the shadow clearly: it was a child of seven or eight years old.

He shouted excitedly: "Help me, save me!"

Colin, who followed closely behind, asked, "Who are you?"

The child stopped asking for help, and his expression seemed to suddenly become trance: "My name is Jack! I'm so hungry..."

Derrick was also in a trance, and when he came back to his senses, he saw the goal of their trip and converted to the city of the "Fallen Creator".

The Silver City team set up a camp in the leeward area and rested in the camp for a while.

When the frequency of lightning gradually became stable, Colin, who was sitting cross-legged and leaning on the stone pillar, said, "Start after 50 lightning strikes."

The members immediately began to make final preparations,

……

Fenepot Kingdom, the residence of Viscount Teutonic.

The Viscount Teutonic watched it with a telescope for a long time, and he was sure that it was really a large cargo ship.

Yesterday, his subordinates reported to him that it was a large cargo ship coming from the lower reaches. He still couldn't believe it, but with the return of the spies sent yesterday, he had to believe it if he didn't believe it.

"The waterway has really been dredged?" Viscount Teutonic asked Grove beside him, "What do you think?"

"The first person to plant a new variety of crops is always difficult to get a good harvest." Grove said with a smile: "Let Hobert try his best to open the waterway, we just need to keep an eye on what he does, as long as it is successful We just follow suit.

"Let Hobert help us try and make mistakes, and we just want to get results."

The Viscount Teutonic nodded in satisfaction. He recently discovered that Grove, who seemed to be not very outstanding in all aspects of quality before, was actually higher than the level of the knights and staff in the Teutonic Territory. Especially the sworn enemy.

Viscount Teutonic would consult with him about anything now.

……

"Sometimes a person becomes enlightened in a flash." Hobert smiled and said to Kerwin, "The easiest way for an ordinary person to become enlightened is to put in front of him what he wants the most. .

"He will try his best to possess and obtain, whether successful or not, this process is a process of enlightenment."

Of course, it can also be called enlightenment.

Kerwin nodded slowly, feeling that what the lord said made sense.

Hobert continued: "For example, this Captain Dean who wants to lead the investment in Jeffrey, in the big cities of the kingdom, such as Feneport City and Port of Sevia, the channel for creating wealth has been almost monopolized by some people. .

"And Jeffrey's leadership has just begun, and there are infinite possibilities. There are not many such opportunities now."

He paused and said, "Well, let him wait for me in the main hall at nine o'clock, and I will talk to him personally."

Kerwin, who was in charge of delivering the message: "Yes."

Before that, Hobert was going to Backlund.

After locking the door of the study room from the inside, he used "Travel" to arrive at Rafter's residence.

　Thanks to [panzer5] for the reward.
