Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Hobert's relief made Derrick relax. Yes, he could still get help from Mr. Fool.

Silver City seemed to have hope all of a sudden.

Alger suddenly asked Hobert: "You just discovered that the Land of Elves and the Land of Dragons correspond to the Islands and the Northern Continent respectively. What about the Southern Continent? What area does the Southern Continent correspond to?"

"The Southern Continent should not be in the description of the Sun just now." Hobert asked Derrick: "Apart from places where people believe in the 'Omniscient and Almighty God', are there no other regions?"

Dacre thought seriously: "No, the description of geography knowledge in our textbook is very simple."

He looked a little gloomy and said: "Because even if we know those places, we can't go there."

"Do you still remember the original text in the textbook?"

"You probably remember that as long as the sun shines, there are believers in God, and then there are the five regions we just mentioned. The last sentence is: 'The omniscient and omnipotent God' has brought eternal peace, and only believers in God can get it. The bounty of light and civilization.”

"In other words, there are still people who are not believers in God and cannot receive the blessings of light and civilization." Hobert analyzed: "Based on the descriptions of the five regions and the eight ancient gods just now..."

Audrey immediately noticed the key point in what Hobert just said: eight ancient gods? And the ancient gods? That’s right, the “all-knowing and all-powerful God” should also be considered an ancient god, right?

Alger pinched his chin: Why haven't I heard of the term "Eight Ancient Gods"?

He is almost certain that the "Emperor" must have a close connection with Mr. Fool. Were they allies a long time ago? So wake up together now?

Klein also had some conjectures, thinking that the "eight ancient gods" should be the legendary "characters" from the third era or even the second era.

Hobert said: "Oh, if you want to know the detailed information of the eight ancient gods, you need to deal with me or the Sun."

He is reminding the Suns that this information can be traded.

Hobert continued: "Based on the comparison of the descriptions of the five regions and the eight ancient gods, there are still three regions that the ancient gods once ruled that were not mentioned.

"Among them is the King of Alien Species. Considering that there are many 'exotic species' in the Southern Continent, can we make the following inference: The areas ruled by the three ancient gods that were not mentioned include the Southern Continent that we are familiar with. ?”

Alger nodded: "Your erudition amazed me again."

Hobert smiled slightly and accepted the compliment.

The hall was quiet for a few seconds, and Mr. Fool asked Derrick in a low tone: "Are you still offering sacrifices to the 'all-knowing and all-powerful God'?"

"Yes, we are still offering sacrifices to Him." Derrick's tone contained unconcealable sorrow: "We were once ruled by the Giant King's Court, and we believed in the Giant King Ormir. Later, we were saved by the Lord. We will never turn our backs on the Lord again, and we all believe that we will eventually regain the Lord’s favor, perhaps when the sun rises again.”

Alger frowned: Being ruled by the Giant Royal Court?

He has read the secret chapter of the "Book of Storms", which contains a description of the Second Age. That era is called the "Dark Age". The protagonists of the sky, ocean and earth are dragons, giants, elves and other races.

But in the end, the Lord of Storms, the Eternal Sun, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom led mankind to defeat these extraordinary creatures one by one, ushering in the "Glory Age" at the beginning of the Third Age, followed by the so-called cataclysm.

Although Audrey didn't understand, she listened very carefully.

Only Hobert sat relaxed and listened.

Klein added: "Describe the process of your sacrifice in detail."

Alger was so excited that his whole body trembled: Mr. Fool wants to find out the truth behind the abandonment of Silver City? Or does He want to make sure that the Creator still "exists"?

These thoughts made Alger feel that his level had been sublimated. He sighed: This is the secret between gods. Isn’t it just to get this feeling that I pursue authority and strength?

Audrey didn't understand what was so exciting about this?

Hobert turned his head away to hide his smile: "The Hanged Man" had such a big reaction? You may not imagine that this is Mr. Fool learning sacrifices from "Little Sun".

Derrick answered honestly: "We built a magnificent altar..."

After communicating about the sacrifice, Klein ended today's party.

The moment they left the Giant Hall, Alger and others sighed again. This gathering once again broke their cognition.

Woo~

The sound of the train whistle reached Hobert's ears. He put away the newspaper and pretended to be awakened by the whistle.

More than two hours later, the train arrived at the station, and Hobert came to Tingen, a city that had special meaning to him.

…

In the suburbs of Tingen, there is a house with a dark red chimney and a green lawn.

When Ince Zangwill came back from the toilet, he saw that the feather pen was dotted and he was writing something in his notebook.

He quickly grabbed the quill and looked at the notebook. The content on it was: "It seems that Hobert Jeffrey came to Tingen City because of a business dispute. Otherwise, why? Is it to save Tingen?" Tingen? He stepped off the train, stretched and said: 'Hello, Tingen!' He..."

Ince frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't remember any strong man named Hobert.

Although he was wary, he did not take it seriously. "0-08" had not tried to "write him to death" once or twice. As long as he interrupted "0-08"'s writing in time, it would be harmful to him. The incident will not happen, and the characters who are harmful to him will no longer appear in his story.

…

After Hobert got off the bus, like many other passengers, he stretched hard, and then said with a smile: "Hello, Tingen City."

He came to the place where it all started, just like a primary school student entering a history museum, a little excited and a little curious.

When he walked out of the platform, he saw a man dressed as a servant holding a blackboard with "Master Hobert" written on it.

Next to the servant stood a soldier in his forties with dark skin and a scar on his forehead.

Hobert went over and said: "Hello, I am Hobert Jeffrey."

"Welcome to Tingen City!" The soldier said with a stiff smile: "I am Ulysses, your father's adjutant when he was in the Southern Continent."

At the approximate time of Hobert's arrival in Tingen, Christine had already sent a telegram to inform Ulysses in advance.

"Hello, Mr. Ulysses, my father often praises your bravery in our presence."

Ulysses asked Hobert to get in the car and said, "No, Chief Christine will always be in front of me, even if he was already a lieutenant colonel at the time."

After sitting in the carriage, Hobert took out Christine's handwritten letter.

Although he was curious about the content of the letter, he did not open it privately.
