Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

At Tutuga Port, everyone’s eyes were focused on the sea.

First, the "Tree of Flesh" and a fleet of several pirate ships appeared, looking like they were about to raid the port.

But then a giant ship that looked like a small island appeared on the sea and rushed towards the "Tree of Flesh".

Alger on the dock felt like he had goosebumps all over his body. He had seen the "Black Emperor" from a distance and felt that it should be the king of the sea.

As far as ships are concerned, Nast also deserves the title of "King of the Five Seas" back then.

But what's going on with this giant ship now? Alger even felt that it was a huge city moving on the sea.

And he knew that flag, it was the emblem of the Trunsoest family.

Alger gradually recovered from the shock: "Trunsoest Empire!"

People around had different reactions. Some people said: "That ship actually exists!"

Someone said: "I must be dreaming, right?"

Another said: "I may have had too much to drink last night!"

…

In short, the appearance of giant ships in the offshore sea seems to make the whole world unreal: How could there be such a big ship? Can it still go that fast?

The few calm people on the pier saw that the cannon on the port side of the giant ship was pushed out. From a distance, a row of cannons was pushed out from the side of the giant ship, and it looked like there were about 20 cannons.

Alger was one of the first people to calm down. As a Sequence 5, he had excellent eyesight. He could see that the cannons on the "Empire" were all white, and he didn't know what metal they were made of.

At this time, the "Tree of Flesh" had already opened the spiritual world and planned to escape quickly.

Buzz~

Just when its bow began to enter the spiritual world, almost everyone in sight heard such a sound.

Everyone saw the cannonballs pouring out from the "Empire", but those cannonballs were very strange. They were white cylindrical shapes, as if a light was shining out, and they were fired continuously for two or three seconds.

The "Tree of Flesh" was hit by "three" cannonballs, and it immediately burned with white flames.

There was a wail immediately on the ship, and even the people on the dock could hear it.

The pirates could still see the people on the ship struggling and rolling in the white flames from a distance, but they could not get rid of those white flames.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and everyone on the dock shivered. Some were frozen, and some were frightened by the sudden fear and screams.

At this time, the "Tree of Flesh" seemed to be a purgatory on earth. The wailing there made the people on the dock couldn't help but take a few steps back, showing fear, and finally fell to the ground.

Some people feel the heat in their crotches and turn around and run away.

There are also many murderous villains among them, but they rarely encounter such tragic scenes.

Even Alger, who had seen many big scenes, felt a huge fear welling up in his heart.

He thought about this fear and immediately found the answer: death, the underworld!

This fear comes from people's unwillingness and thoughts of escaping from death, and from the fear of reaching the end of life.

Looking at the offshore sea again, some of the "Empire's" shells hit the sea surface, and a large white flame immediately ignited on the sea water. The sea water suddenly seemed to be still, as if the sea water had the end of its life.

The fleet composed of the "Tree of Flesh" also remained motionless on the sea. They were surrounded by cold white flames, forming a huge fire.

Many crew members wanted to jump into the sea and swim away.

But the white flames on their bodies could not be extinguished even in the sea water. On the sea, they continued to wail and struggle, and finally died from the constant burning.

But the flames still did not go out. It burned away the skin of the corpse, burned away the bones and internal organs of the corpse, and finally only left some residue and extraordinary characteristics.

The "Tree of Flesh" was also burned down, and the spiritual world it had opened before was closed again.

At this time, there were no wailing sounds on the ship, as if there was no life left.

But the ship was just a giant being, so it kept burning.

At this time, the "Empire" completed the U-turn and fired a few more shots, and then lowered a small boat from the deck.

Some illusory-looking figures appeared in the sea. They were water ghosts. They were holding extraordinary properties, and each one flatteringly magnified the extraordinary properties that had just sunk to the bottom of the sea on the small boat.

When the boat was pulled up, at least twenty or thirty pieces of extraordinary characteristics were recovered, as well as several sealed items.

Thick fog appeared around it again, and soon the entire ship was wrapped in fog and completely disappeared from people's sight.

The flames on the sea continued to burn for another ten minutes, until the "Tree of Flesh" was burned to ashes and finally extinguished.

This result was something that the demigods of the "Rose School" who were hiding in the spiritual world and preparing to attack Tutujia Port did not expect.

This attack on the "Rose School" has been brewing for a long time. They took advantage of the opening of Tutujia Port to launch a surprise attack when they had already taken it lightly.

In order to prevent the battle from spilling over, they planned that the raid would end within three minutes. The fleet would attack all ships that might attack the port, while the demigod would try to destroy the buildings in Tutuga Port as much as possible.

After all, if a group of pirates dies, another group will come, but the loss of buildings and ships is the real loss to the "founder" forces and the pirates.

What was originally a good raid turned into a performance by the "Empire".

The development of the situation caused the demigods of the "Rose School" to be stunned in the spiritual world for several seconds before they immediately withdrew as if they had come to their senses.

What surprised them most was that the "Tree of Flesh" was burned down like this. You must know that Hobert had dismantled the ship to only a frame, and it had been "fed" for several months. Everything is back to normal.

But this time, it was burned directly into wood ash and floated on the sea. Without any spirituality, there was no possibility of recovery.

The flagship of the "Pirate General" level was destroyed in this way.

This is another case of "one ebbs and flows". The "Rose School" temporarily has no sea power to rely on, but Longwei Island's sea control has become unbreakable.

To the pirates, it was a "pirate general" level raid, but they were unable to fight back. Ordinary pirates would be seeking death if they tried to sneak attack again!

On the pier, the official Beyonder shouted several times through the loudspeaker: "The coast guard has been lifted!"

They resumed normal patrols.

But it took half a minute for the pirates on the dock to come back to their senses.

One of the intelligence dealers tried hard to maintain a calm demeanor: "Haha, this is the coastal defense force of Tutuga Port! I have exclusive information about the Trunsoest Empire. If you want to trade, come with me."

Alger glanced at the other person's crotch, which was still dripping with water, and smiled slightly.

Speaking of which, he knew some real exclusive information about the "Empire". The first time he saw this ship was when he and the "Emperor" went to explore the islands hidden deep in the "Furious Sea".

At a Tarot session about three months ago, the "Emperor" asked him and the "Star Admiral" to inquire about the whereabouts of the "Empire".

Now it seems that the "Emperor", or his colleagues, have found the "Empire", and the "Empire" is obviously under the control of the "Founder" forces.

This made Alger sigh: This organization has become stronger again.

He strolled to the food court, where the food was indeed good.

But Alger didn't take a few bites, because the scene in front of him made him feel very horrified, even more horrifying than facing the "Empire" just now, or seeing those white flames, and hearing the wailing of the crew of the "Tree of Flesh"!

In this city full of pirates, he saw order!

As a pirate and a member of the Church of Storms, he knew that all order except fists was a joke in front of pirates.

The "order" brought by fists is a cold order, and it is difficult to create such a bustling environment!

Everything in front of him told Alger that the pirates themselves were willing to abide by the order here!

…

Backlund, MI9.

Hobert, who rarely came to work today, heard a "shocking" news before he arrived at his office: Director Qionas was missing!

Hobert thought to himself: That's right, the day has come.

So, the war will happen in about 10 days!

So after Hobert clocked in and returned to his office, he immediately started "fishing mode."

First, he went to the Southern Continent and looked at two construction sites that were already under construction. Then he went to "Earl's Light" to get the third batch of 150,000 pounds of investment, and asked Todd to send someone to reserve the equipment needed for the factory.

In the afternoon, Hobert visited the factories that produce building materials in South Colson and Longtail Island. The current production capacity in the two places is too small and they cannot keep up with the consumption in other places.

So Hobert asked Todd to order a large amount of building materials in Backlund to prepare for emergencies.

Although the situation was relatively optimistic for Roen in the first two months of the war, when the Fusac Empire captured a large industrial area on the south coast of the Jianhai Sea, Roen's industrial production capacity would be completely "cut in half"!

The factory will definitely be under military control by then, and it will be difficult to order goods.

And next year, as more and more countries join the war, most of Backlund's factories will have to stop production.

By then, Hobert will no longer have to rely on the Northern Continent for his industrial product needs in the Southern Continent!

After completing further layout, Hobert once again went to see the preparations for the phone, which he planned to release on the eve of the war.

But this time there was almost no warm-up. They just sent people to sell it to some nobles and government departments.

The trial machines that have been installed so far have not been taken seriously by everyone.

But with the bombing of the Fusac people, the usefulness of the phone will be revealed. There will be no need to do much advertising at that time. People who have no sense of security will take the initiative to learn about the phone and install it in order to obtain information about their family members as quickly as possible. .

In order to complete the communication between various departments faster and more conveniently, the government and the military will gradually attach importance to the role of telephone in order to obtain all aspects of information faster.

These deployments cannot be made in a day or two. Hobert plans to take a closer look in the territory in the past few days, think about it, and talk to governments at all levels to see if there is anything else that he has not thought of. .

It was after five o'clock in the afternoon that Hobert returned to the Earl's Mansion, and he made an appointment with Princess Alice to enjoy the symphony tonight.

Because he came back a little late today, Hobert let the carriage go first. After he changed into formal clothes, he caught up with the carriage and rode the carriage to Count Georgina's mansion.

But it was still late. When Hobert arrived, the three members of the royal family had already arrived. Usually out of politeness, Hobert would arrive earlier than them.

After dinner, everyone went to the previous single room to enjoy the symphony.

As expected, before the performance started, Alice came to Hobert's room again.

"Congratulations." Alice smiled: "It is said that the Gas Association is at risk of disbanding.

“With people like Duke Negan divesting their money, the gas industry is in a bleak situation right now.”

"Oh? Really?" Hobert smiled and said, "Tell me in detail."

Although "Earl's Light" is also paying close attention to the trends in the gas industry, it does not know that Duke Negan and other nobles have begun large-scale divestments.

But think about it, once such news spreads, the stocks of these gas companies will definitely fall by the limit!

Alice knew that Hobert must be in great need of this information, so she inquired carefully before coming.

After hearing the news, Hobert realized that in another week at most, it would be a good time to buy the bottom!

At that time, gas companies generally lacked financial support, and for venture investors, they would wait and see whether the shares of gas companies could fall further.

But Hobert, who had new ideas for the gas industry, thought that was the best time to take action! There will be almost no competition with him.

After talking about this topic, the symphony began.

The light in the single room gradually dimmed, but Hobert "amplified" the brightness slightly, took out a ring box, and handed it to Alice: "Consider it your reward for this information."

Alice was slightly startled, then opened it and saw something like a piece of charcoal inside.

She looked at Hobert with some confusion.

Hobert smiled slightly: "This piece of black coal comes from a 'witch'. As far as I know, she is the leader of the witch sect in the Kingdom of Loen, and she is also responsible for cooperating with the royal family."

Alice understood immediately: "Is she the one who arranged for Triss to get close to Edsac?"

Hobert said: "It should be. What is certain is that she also played a big role in the Backlund smog incident, but she has been hiding behind the scenes."

Alice hugged Hobert happily: "Thank you Hobert, this is the happiest gift I have ever received."

The two of them had a tacit understanding that their intimate actions were limited to this single room. Outside of this room, one was an earl and the other was a princess. In this single room, they could both be free.

This suddenly reminded Hobert of the time Upton returned from Trier two days ago and described some of what he saw and heard in the Republic of Intis.

The nobles in Intis have more fun, and they don’t have to sneak around by enjoying the symphony like the Kingdom of Loen. Moreover, they engage in "real swords and guns" as soon as they get started, unlike Hobert and Alice who just Just making out.

This thought flashed through Hobert's mind. He smiled and said, "Originally, I wanted to use it as a reward. Please help me find out about another thing."

Alice put away the ring box: "You can tell me anything!"

After all, she still owed Hobert a favor for assassinating James.

Hobert said seriously: "I hope to know the location of the main military force of the Kingdom of Loen."

Alice was stunned: "Are you still interested in the military?"

Although she owes a favor, she also knows the importance of military secrets to a country.

"I just think that we can do a business with the military." Hobert explained: "But the premise is that the military also deploys a large number of forces in the Western Theater."

"I will help you investigate this matter." Alice immediately smiled and said, "I will give you an answer next Monday at the latest."

In her opinion, there is no need for Hobert to lie to herself about this kind of thing. After all, he is a demigod and has many means to help him complete relevant investigations without knowing it.

Since Hobert said he was doing business, it should be profitable.

For Alice, some relevant information can be revealed, and she can get a share of the pie when the time comes, and it is not too difficult for her to find out such information.

But if Hobert went to investigate, he would be susceptible to suspicion.

Even if he asked Amyrius, the shareholder representative of "Earl's Light" would not tell Hobert.

After talking about the business, Alice smiled and said: "Okay, dim the lights, let's enjoy the 'symphony' seriously."

"no problem."

…

On Sunday morning, the wind started blowing in Backlund. This was the wind of early autumn. It blew away a lot of the dense fog, and the people of Backlund were rarely bathed in the sunshine.

At around nine o'clock, Alice sent someone to send Hobert the army deployment situation, but the information was very rough. There was no specific army number, only a general estimate of the army's garrison situation.

Hobert spread out the map in his study and compared it. Currently, the military deployment of the Kingdom of Loen is mainly in four directions: the east, the south coast of the Sea of ​​​​Jianhai, the vast west, and the suburbs of Backlund.

Nearly 30% of the military force has been deployed on the south coast of the Middle Sea. It seems that the Kingdom of Loen has also received information that the Fusac Empire may launch a raid across the Middle Sea.

But in Hobert's view, this is not enough. Although there is a natural barrier like the sea, it is not yet known how effective this natural barrier can be with the participation of a large number of extraordinary people.

He remembered that the fighting here was once very fierce, and there should be a lot of casualties soon.

The main force of Loen, about 45% of its military force, is deployed in the west. After all, there is the traditional enemy country Fenebaud, and the relationship with the Republic of Intis is currently deteriorating rapidly. This is also the direction in which the Kingdom of Loen focuses its defense.

Hobert smiled and said: "This deal can be made."

He immediately asked Dophis to prepare three invitations and invite Alice, Georgina and Amyrius to the Earl's Palace for afternoon tea on the afternoon of next Tuesday.

And indicate on the invitation: I have very confidential matters to discuss with them.

After Dophis left the study, Hobert simply burned the document and thought about doing business with the military.

Soon Dophis came back: "Archbishop Horamik Haydon paid a surprise visit."

This archbishop is the general head of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery in Backlund.

Generally speaking, when visiting each other in the upper class of Backlund, someone must be notified in advance to confirm the time, etc., and sudden visits are rare.

Hobert smiled and said, "Please ask the archbishop to wait in the reception room."

Since the last conversation with Mr. Winston, Hobert has asked people to start building a small generator on Longtail Island and set aside many new factories as future laboratories.

Today the Church of Steam finally sent someone.

Hobert changed into more formal clothes and came to the reception room to meet with the old man wearing a priest's robe and a soft hat, Archbishop Haydn.

Just as Hobert had guessed, the Church of Steam agreed to most of the conditions previously set by Hobert regarding the commercial benefits created by the research results and confidentiality issues.

The only point of contention between them is that the Church of Steam hopes to have enough initiative over where the new technologies developed will be used and to whom.

Haydn said very sincerely: "Many of our believers are tycoons in the machinery and technology industries. If they want to use some new technologies, and we have to ask for your opinion, this will greatly damage the majesty and status of the church."

Hobert nodded pretendingly: "This is indeed a problem."

He seemed a little confused: "Well, you can decide who uses the technology, but we have to set the patent fees for these new technologies, and 80% of them must be owned by us."

Haydn breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. For a church, it basically doesn’t care too much about things like money. In his opinion, Hobert cares more about business gains, while they care more about the latest technology. control, such cooperation is more reliable.

After the two men quickly reached an agreement, Hobert immediately invited Hayden to visit the power plant in the suburbs and the R\u0026D center on Longtail Island.

Haydn was very satisfied with Hobert's preparations. After reporting the results of the negotiations to the angels of the church in prayer, he signed a series of agreements with the "Earl's Light" that night.

This also indicates that the cooperation between the "Founder" forces and the Church of Steam has officially begun. Upton, who is building a factory in the Republic of Intis, will definitely receive more help.

With the protection of the Steam Church, the power plant no longer has to worry about leaks or safety issues.

…

In the early morning, Backlund was shrouded in thick fog as usual.

Hobert took a carriage to Backlund University, and there was Elizabeth in the carriage who was going to school.

The business school she attended made huge adjustments in the first half of the year, so the start date for freshmen was postponed by half a month.

Elizabeth chose to study finance, which is very popular nowadays, and she is very much looking forward to the college life that she is about to start.

In addition, there were Melissa and Tyron who came to see Elizabeth off. Three boys and girls of similar age chatted non-stop.

Hobert looked at his brother Tyron with some suspicion. It was understandable that Melissa came to see Elizabeth off. Why did Tyron come?

But he had no time to continue thinking about this issue now, because the business school was about to start, and many dignitaries came to see off their children, so Hobert naturally wanted to say a few words to them.

Given Hobert's current title and business status, even the dean of the business school came to greet him personally.

Hobert was polite to everyone here, and Dophis took Elizabeth and the others to go through the enrollment procedures. It was about ten o'clock. All the procedures were completed, and they could just come to class tomorrow.

Elizabeth has already met several classmates, and they have arranged to visit the campus together. Melissa and Tyron also want to stay and visit together.

So Hobert took the carriage back alone, but he just let the carriage go back first, while he hid opposite the entrance of the business school.

About an hour later, I saw Melissa and Tyron coming out together.

Tai Lun, who has always been relatively introverted, was not shy at all at this time. He even talked to Melissa about some popular topics with gestures.

Hobert noticed that they occasionally had some intimate interactions, such as holding hands slightly, looking at each other with sincerity, etc.

He smiled slightly: This is true! These two "little friends" are really in love.

Watching them leave, Hobert wondered whether he should tell Klein the news?

He smiled: Why does it feel like a meeting between parents?

After hesitating for a moment, Hobert decided to wait, in case they just had a crush on each other, and it was normal for them to fall in love at this age, and they hadn't reached the stage of "notifying their parents" yet.

At noon, Hobert had lunch with Audrey and asked how much money he still had on his books.

Audrey was somewhat surprised when she learned that Hobert was going to acquire more gas companies: “My father and brother were talking about the gas company last night.

“They believe that electric lights will cover the entire Backlund by early next year at the latest, and gas companies will go bankrupt one after another.

“Is it still necessary to invest in such a company?”

Holbert said to himself: That's because Earl Hall and Hibbert don't know other uses of gas.

This is the benefit of the so-called "God's perspective". Some things that no one has thought of at present are common sense to Hobert.

Of course, Hobert also knew the potential of people very well, so he decided to acquire the gas company now instead of waiting until they were completely at the end of their rope.

Perhaps under the pressure of reality, they themselves found new uses for gas. In Hobert's impression, there were too many twists and turns, and there was no need to take this risk.

Hobert whispered to Audrey: "I'll tell you a secret. You can't even reveal it to your own family at the moment!"

Audrey also became serious: "I won't tell anyone."

"Okay." Hobert said: "My research team has discovered a new use for gas and is currently conducting a series of new studies. Once the research results are released, there will be a huge market for gas."

Audrey looked surprised and moved closer to Hobert: "What's the new use?"

"Industrial combustion and home cooking," Hobert said simply.

Current steam engines basically burn coal. It's not that no one has thought about using cleaner gas, but the problem of pressure still bothers them.

The current pressurizing equipment is also a steam engine. The pressure it brings is limited, and it can only be used to light a lamp. It is simply not practical to use it to supply energy to the steam engine.

But it will be different when there is a motor. The pressurization speed is faster and the pressure is greater. From the pressurization end to the use end, the gas output can be used to burn the boiler.

Audrey nodded in understanding, very happy that Hobert would tell her this secret.

After lunch, Hobert discussed with Audrey the assassination operation in the evening, and then went to discuss it with Todd.

Hobert is preparing to establish the "Earl's Light" Group, which will separate the gas business, as well as the future telephone and motor businesses, into separate new companies.

It wasn't until after two o'clock in the afternoon that Hobert returned to the Earl's Mansion to participate in this week's Tarot meeting.

At three o'clock sharp, his vision was covered by gray fog, and he instantly arrived at the Giant Hall above the gray fog.

"Good afternoon! Mr. Fool~" "Justice" Audrey's greeting sounded, and this Tarot session officially began.

All members, including "Hermit" Cattleya, did not have diaries to sacrifice, so they jumped to the free trade link.

"Star" Leonard first said: "Dear Mr. Fool, I wish to communicate with Mr. Emperor alone."

“The Fool” Klein nodded and established a space for them to communicate alone.

"Emperor" Hobert smiled and said, "That angel has already made his choice, right?"

Leonard nodded and said: "Yes, he chose the first way to restore his full strength, but there is a condition. He needs a 'lawyer' to reach the demigod level!"

Hobert almost didn't think about it: "No problem!"

Although he doesn't have many angel-level spiritual materials in his hands, he has accumulated a lot of demigod-level materials. It is very simple to make a demigod-level spell by praying to himself.

Hobert added: "I want to remind you again that although it takes up to 15 minutes to return to full strength, it is limited by geography, probably only a few dozen kilometers.

"And it is very obvious after using this method. It is not recommended to use it in Backlund."

"I know." Hobert simply said this when they discussed the deal last time. Leonard was more concerned: "What are your conditions?"

Hobert said: "Provide you with angel-level help. If you need to fight, I will provide another item to restore you to your full strength."

This time Leonard was "authorized" by Palles, and he could make the transaction if the other party's remuneration was within an acceptable range.

At this time, in Leonard's opinion, the "Emperor's" offer was very fair, so he immediately agreed: "Yes, I hope the transaction can be completed as soon as possible."

"Tomorrow morning." Hobert said, "You have to give me time to make the charm."

Just after the transaction ended, Cattleya suddenly said: "I hope to communicate with Mr. Emperor alone."

Hobert was stunned and thought it was Bernadette, the "Queen of Mysteries" who wanted to see him.

Unexpectedly, Cattleya said as soon as she opened her mouth: "I hope to get the blueprint of the 'Teleportation Array'."

Klein, who was behind the gray mist, thought he heard it wrong: Teleportation array? What teleportation array?

Hobert smiled and said, "It seems you have been to Tutuga Port?"

"Yes, it is already very prosperous there, and it is different from Bayam." Cattleya once again recalled a small thing she encountered on the dock.

A pirate beat up an indigenous porter. As a result, the security guard took the pirate to the court. Not only did he compensate the indigenous worker 5 pounds for medical expenses, but the pirate was also sent to a mountainous area for three months of hard labor.

This is something that would never happen in any colony, or to put it more directly, no port would care about the life or death of an indigenous person.

Hobert thought about it for a moment: "Are you trading with me on behalf of the Queen of Mystery, or the Moss Ascetic Order?"

Cattleya replied: "Moss Trappist Order."

"In that case, I can't make the decision myself." Hobert's target customer is actually Bernadette. The asking price of about 150,000 pounds for the Queen of Mystery is appropriate, but if it is a deal with other secret organizations, this price is not suitable. .

Especially for organizations like the Moss Ascetic Order, as long as the blueprints are sold to them, then there will be two organizations in the world that have mastered the teleportation array. This is not the result that Hobert wants to see.

Cattleya nodded, and then she asked: "Where did the blueprint of the teleportation array come from? Does this answer require trading?"

"No need." Hobert said: "It comes from a relic that once believed in Mr. Door, but now that relic has been destroyed."

Of course, for Cattleya, how to get to the ruins is the problem.

Cattleya nodded: "I understand."

After the private communication ended, the hall was quiet for a second or two. Just as Hobert was about to speak, "Moon" Emlyn said first: "I have a question to ask Mr. Emperor."

Hobert was stunned for a moment and then said: "You tell me."

Emlyn asked: "What is the current status of the 'Bound God'?"

In fact, the senior leaders of the Vampire Clan hope that he can get relevant information from the "Fool" or the "Creator", because the Vampire Clan will also form a certain alliance with the "Temperance Faction" in the future, and they hope to know more about this approach. information.

Emlyn's first thought was to ask the learned "Emperor". If the "Emperor" didn't know the answer to the question, he planned to ask Mr. Fool.

Hobert replied casually: "It seems to be controlled."

Emlyn was slightly startled: "Controlled? Controlled by who?"

Everyone is also attracted by this topic. If I remember correctly, the "Bound God" seems to be a god at the level of the King of Angels. Who can control existence at this level?

Seeing Emlyn's persistence in asking, Hobert said: "This issue requires a transaction, and I will explain it to you from beginning to end."

He paused for a moment before saying: "The answer should be worth your money for you, because this question will bring up two outer gods, as well as your ancestor!"

Emlyn was slightly startled that the ancestor was involved!

He immediately said: "No problem, the reward is still three sequence 5 level tasks?"

"Not this time." Hobert smiled and said: "I hope that the senior leaders of the vampire clan will provide information about the beauty god Onya, including where he fell, some of his deeds, etc.

"The point is, what kind of research did He do after he became the Queen?

"It depends on the details of the information provided. If the vampire is unwilling to provide relevant information, it will be three demigod-level missions!

"If you are only willing to provide part of the information, or it is not very important, you will need to add two additional demigod-level tasks!"

When reading the relevant records in the city of San Diego, Hobert discovered a problem. In the relevant records of the family, there were not many records about Queen Ornia.

We don’t even know where He died, and where are His extraordinary characteristics?

The curse on Hobert is closely related to the queen, so Hobert wants to know the information about her and see if he can get any unexpected effects?

Emlyn nodded: "I will report this matter immediately after the party."

Then he asked: "Can you tell me why you need this information?"

"A member of the Trunsoest family in our organization discovered that there was no record about Her Majesty the Queen in the family's relevant records." Hobert found a random reason:

"He believes that the vampire clan with a long history must have very detailed records, so he wants to trade such information with the vampire clan to complete their family's history."

Probably "Magician" Forsi, who was sitting opposite Hobert, thought to himself: Could that member of the Trunsoest family be you?

But then she thought: Why would Hobert need the records of the Queen of Trunsoest?

Hobert's words obviously played into Emlyn's hands. He raised his chin habitually: "Then he has found the right person. Our vampire family has rich heritage and detailed historical records. We will definitely be able to find him." Need answers.”

Klein, who was at the top, thought to himself: When Hobert sells Emlyn, this guy might happily help count the money.

There was more or less a smile on everyone's face. Were they laughing at Mr. Moon? After all, who doesn't have a weakness?

Everyone knows Mr. Emperor’s weakness against Mr. Moon very accurately.

At this time, Hobert asked Emlyn again: "Do you want to listen to it alone, or do you want to listen to it together?"

Emlyn put away his chin and immediately said: "Listen together."

In fact, he mainly hopes that "The Hanged Man", "The Hermit" and "The World" will listen together. These three people ask questions from a very special angle and can always dig out more information.

Hobert said to the other members: "The main reward for this transaction is paid by Mr. Moon. If you want to join the transaction, you will also need to pay a certain price.

"But the price is not big and can be settled together with the next transaction."

Everyone said they had no objections, and Audrey even thanked Mr. Moon for sharing the answer with them.

While being polite, Emlyn unconsciously raised his chin.

After negotiating the reward, Hobert continued: "As for Mr. Moon's issue, we have to start from the second era. The source of information is still the 'Devil King' Fabuti.

"This information is relatively reliable. After all, Fabuti and the 'Bound God' are adjacent to each other. Relatively speaking, he has a more detailed understanding of the 'Bound God'."

This time, what Hobert said was true. The source of information on this issue was indeed Fabuti, and he was not used as a cover like before.

"We have just traded information about the Second Age before," Hobert said: "At the end of the Age of Fire, a far-reaching divine war took place.

"'Lilith, the ancestor of the blood race, died together with the 'Alien King' Kvasitun and the 'Destruction Demonic Wolf' Fregra.

"We have talked about some unreasonable aspects of this battle before, and today we will talk about another unreasonable aspect: after the battle, why didn't the other ancient gods rush to support?

"It's possible that the other ancient gods didn't arrive because they didn't arrive in time, but it's a bit strange that the 'Ancestor of the Phoenix' didn't arrive either. After all, he has the extraordinary characteristics of the 'apprentice' path, so he should be able to arrive on the battlefield quickly, right?

“I thought about this question a long time ago, but never found the answer until I communicated with Farbuti.

"It turns out that at least two of the three ancient gods who died together were influenced by the outside gods!

"The ancient gods may have also hoped to use this method to cut off the influence of the outer gods on the real world, so they allowed this battle to become completely out of control."
