Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 430 Triss Cheek

Hobert introduced: "I brought a total of 18 copies of the 'lawyer' extraordinary characteristic this time, and 17 copies of the 'barbarian' extraordinary characteristic.

"Now that you are believers in the 'Founder', these two Extraordinary characteristics can be sold to you at the base price of 300 pounds and 600 pounds.

"For the Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 7 and above, since it is more difficult for the 'Blessed Ones' to obtain, or there is a premium when buying them, so there is also a premium when selling them to you."

Lawrence didn't take his eyes off the wooden box, and he nodded: "It should, it should."

In the Southern Continent, the premiums for Extraordinary properties or Extraordinary materials are generally higher than those in the Northern Continent, which Lawrence can fully accept.

At the same time, Lawrence had a new understanding of the power of the "Fellows" of the "Founder". To be able to accumulate so many Extraordinary characteristics is definitely a large Extraordinary organization.

In fact, there are so many Extraordinary characteristics, just because the "creator" has "reprocessing" skills, such as obtaining a copy of the "Chaos Mentor"'s Extraordinary characteristics, it is only one copy for others, but for Hobart , but that is 5 Extraordinary characteristics.

Hobert continued to introduce: "I also brought 11 copies of the Extraordinary characteristics of 'The Briber', each worth 1500 pounds."

In fact, he didn't bring two copies, which were reserved for Jessica and Upton.

He continued: "There are also 6 'Corrupted Baron' Extraordinary features, each worth 4000 pounds.

"And a copy of the Extraordinary characteristic of 'Chaos Mentor', 8000 pounds."

"No problem!" Lawrence said almost immediately. In his opinion, the premium Hobert offered was not much.

Hobert smiled and said: "That's good, then in the end, the total value of the extraordinary characteristics of 'lawyer' is 5400 pounds, the total value of the extraordinary characteristics of 'barbarian' is 10200 pounds, and the total value of the extraordinary characteristics of 'briberer' is 16500 pounds.

"There are also 6 copies of 'Corrupted Baron', worth 24000 pounds, plus 8000 pounds, one is 64100 pounds, and I will give you a zero, 64000 pounds."

"Okay, okay!" Lawrence said hello a few times, then smiled and said, "Well, our gold pounds are a bit small, and the whole family only has a total of more than 3000 pounds.

"Can I pay with the currency of other countries? Or simply pay with gold?"

Previously, the Balk family was mainly engaged in the "killer and mercenary service industry", and its business scope was mainly in the central and southern parts of West Balam.

And the entire West Balam is not within Loen's sphere of influence. Currencies from various countries circulate here, and many people even only recognize gold.

After friendly negotiations, the payment for this batch of Extraordinary characteristics was finally divided into three ways: 3000 gold pounds, 24000 gold lisos to replace the 20000 pounds, and gold worth 41000 pounds.

Hobert left the Extraordinary characteristics first, and at the latest at night, he used the method of offering sacrifices to the "Creator", and handed over the gold and banknotes to the "God's Favored One".

This is because Lawrence is here to fight this time. Of course, he will not bring so much money. He is going to use his ability as a saint to let the family members who stay in the town count the money and make sacrifices.

After the transaction was over, Hobert secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He finally had the money for the first batch of building materials, and even half of the money for the second batch of building materials.

That's the time to raise more money.

At the end of the conversation, Hobert said to Lawrence: "Don't have too much conflict with the 'Rose School of thought' recently, and restore your strength with peace of mind."

"Yes." Lawrence said, "But we should be able to recover our strength soon."

The Balk family can shatter Extraordinary characteristics by praying for power from the sealed item that created the "non-existent town" barrier, which is the key to their persistence until now.

Some family members are waiting for their Extraordinary characteristics to be promoted. As long as the Extraordinary characteristics are shattered, they can immediately form new combat power, and these Extraordinary characteristics that Hobart sold to the Balk family can also be quickly digested by them.

Hobert nodded: "Development is the last word!"

Then Hobert asked Elliott again: "Have you used both 'Runaway Stones'?"

Elliott took out the used "Runaway Stone": "I've used them all."

Hobert took out the two "Runaway Stones" that he had prepared long ago, and recovered the two used stones.

Then he said to Lawrence: "You can also rely on the exhausted 'Order Wood' to exchange for a new 'Order Wood' by praying to the 'Founder'. If there is any loss, immediately report to the 'Founder' .”

This is the purpose of exchanging the "Rock of Out of Control" with Elliott: to tell Lawrence that the "Wood of Order" must be recovered.

Lawrence nodded again and again, the "Order Wood" in his hand could still be used for another ten minutes.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Hobert got up to say goodbye, using "travel" to leave.

After two transfers, Hobert came to the forest in the cemetery of Conant City. Here, he divided the gold that Elliott had previously divided into two sacrifices, and the mask he had prepared from the "Disorder" country" was taken out,
Then, under the navigation of "Necklace of the Faceless Man", use "Travel" to come to the "Borrag Steam Engine Exhibition Hall", Appleton's office.

Upton was a little surprised by the way the "God's Favored One" appeared. Originally, he had ordered the employees in the exhibition hall to bring him up whenever someone came looking for him, but the "God's Favored One" came by himself.

"God's favor!" Upton got up and locked the door.

"I have brought a new task." Hobart said straight to the point: "As long as you complete this task, you will be able to get the remaining one-third of the extraordinary characteristics of 'The Briber'."

Upton's eyes lit up, his "Barbarian" potion had been completely digested, and he was about to use gold pounds to buy the remaining third of the "Briber"'s Extraordinary characteristics.

He smiled and asked: "What task? The reward is worth more than 400?"

Theoretically speaking, a third of the Extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 7 is worth about 400 pounds, but the Extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 8 already have a premium, let alone the Extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 7?
Hobert took out the list he had prepared a long time ago: "Purchase the materials on the list."

"Such a large amount!" Upton couldn't help being surprised.

"How much do you estimate it will cost?"

Upton, who has contacts with businessmen from all walks of life through selling steam engines, has a general understanding of the prices of bulk building materials.

He made a simple estimate: "38000 pounds to 41000 pounds!"

After saying this figure, he was surprised again. At first he thought he had made a lot of money recently, but compared with this figure, he sighed: Even if I sold me, I couldn't raise so much money.

Upton had such an idea because he was worried that the "God's Favored One" would ask him to advance the payment like last time.

Hobert sighed in his heart at this time, the price of Loen's building materials was much lower than that of Feneport.

In Feneport, these materials cost at least 56000 gold lisuo, which is equivalent to nearly 47000 pounds!
Sure enough, infrastructure can best demonstrate comprehensive national strength. In this respect, there is indeed a certain gap between Feneport and Ruen.

Hobert said: "If you just buy these materials, you don't need a third of the 'Briber' Extraordinary characteristic as a reward. I have another commission."

As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag containing gold: "These transactions can only be settled with gold, you must find a suitable channel to exchange gold for gold pounds.

"The value of these gold is about 5500 to 5800 pounds. You can use it as a deposit for the goods first, and I will bring you gold worth no less than 36000 pounds in a few days."

"No problem." For Upton, who has local gang channels and initially established business contacts, although selling such a large batch of gold is stressful, it is not a big problem!
He said in his heart: After I sold all the gold worth more than 4 pounds, the price of gold in the entire Conant would probably drop.

He is quite satisfied with the remuneration of the "God's Blessed One". After all, it is not difficult to complete a large building material business, it just takes some time and rents a warehouse.

Finally, Hobert gave the mask to Upton: "After the test of time, you are now the official favored person of the 'Founder'.

"This is the symbol of the 'Founder' favored person. This mask has the ability to resist divination. Infused with spirituality, it can form a shield that lasts for a second or two, which can effectively block the attacks of extraordinary abilities! In addition, after wearing it , will become less likely to get out of control!"

"It's not easy to lose control!" Upton almost shouted, and he realized his gaffe after he finished speaking. Fortunately, there was no one else here.

Taking the mask, Upton stroked it gently. His parents died because of signs of losing control due to different reasons, so he has no less heart knot about losing control than members of the Balk family.

Hobert smiled and said, "Praise the creator!"

Upton hurriedly followed: "Praise the creator!"

This compliment is very sincere.

Hobert continued: "I still have a mission here. A group of dependents from the Southern Continent want to come to Loen's textile factory, smelter factory, and some factories that produce daily necessities to study. You can arrange it.

"The reward is directly settled with gold, or settled with Extraordinary characteristics."

Upton pondered for a while: "This is not too difficult. I can usually get in touch with many such factory owners. I can use the steam engine discounts for them, or the repair and maintenance discounts, in exchange for going to their factories. opportunity to learn.”

Hobert nodded: "I will compensate you at twice the price for the discount you gave, and it will be considered as tuition fees."

Upton did not refuse again: "Yes."

In the end, Hobert took out a note with the method of summoning the courier and the payment for delivering the courier, and asked Upton to write to himself directly if he had anything to do in the future.

After the "God's Favored One" left, Upton read the summoning spell again: "It's 'Traitor' Hobert!"

……

Backlund, in the underground building of Blood Marquis Nibais Audra.

Emlyn White looked at the iron-black coffin, and said to the ancient vampire lying inside: "Master Nebais, I accept the mission of the ancestor!"

Two days ago, Nibais claimed to have received instructions from the ancestor to make the outstanding young blood race Emlyn pray to The Fool.

In fact, the ancestor did not specify that Emlyn would complete it, but Nibais believed that Emlyn, who had believed in the Mother Earth and the ancestor, was very suitable for completing this task.

If the task is completed, everyone is happy. If it is not completed, and "The Fool" still projects strong evil thoughts, then for the blood race, Emlyn's death is no loss.

When Nibais heard Emlyn's words, he responded with an old voice: "Very well, when do you want to start? What wishes do you have that have not been fulfilled?"

What wish... didn't come true?Emlyn felt his calf soften, and almost regretted it.

But when he thought that this was the mission of the ancestor, he said, "No need! You can do it now!"

So Emlyn, who was no stranger to rituals, lit candles, essential oils and herbal powder under the protection of Lord Nibais.

In the smoky atmosphere, Emlyn began to chant the honorable name of "The Fool" repeatedly: "The fool who does not belong to this era..."

After chanting for more than ten minutes, Emlyn was a little tired. He was half relieved and half disappointed, and said, "Lord Nibais, there is no response."

Nibais was silent for a while, and then said in a rather hoarse voice: "Okay, don't leave yet, just wait here."

After spending more than an hour in worry and apprehension, Emlyn left the underground building. His destination was the Harvest Church in the south area of ​​the bridge.

Just getting into the carriage, Emlyn's eyes suddenly blurred, and he saw the boundless gray-white mist.

Immediately afterwards, he was astonished to find himself in a mysterious and majestic giant palace, sitting at an ancient bronze long table.

And at the top of the long table, there was a stalwart figure, watching him condescendingly: "Why do you pray to me?"

Emlyn's mind suddenly buzzed, and he blurted out: "This is the revelation from the ancestor..."

He said the series of things that the ancestor chose him, plus his own inner activities, and the fearless spirit when facing the mission of the ancestor, all in one brain, and he only reported the number and characteristics of his dolls.

When Klein heard that this was actually Lilith's revelation, he thought of the simple description of Lilith in Roselle's diary, as well as the information about the uniqueness of the "Moon" pathway from the "Emperor".

He couldn't help but come to a conclusion: Could this be the instruction of the Evernight Goddess, after all, the only way of "Moon" lies with the Goddess.

Thoughts flashed through Klein's mind. He leaned back in his chair and asked with a smile, "What did your ancestor ask you to pray to me?"

Emlyn couldn't help but sit up straight: "Respected Mr. Fool, the revelation given by the ancestor is this: I, Emlyn White, will be the key to saving the blood race and defeating the doomsday, and it all starts with praying to you."

The word "Secondary Two" suddenly appeared in Klein's mind: Young man, do you think about it again?Are you missing the point?

He pondered for a while, and decided to observe first before saying: "Actually, I probably understand what your ancestor meant. He hopes that with my help, you will grow into a real high-ranking person, so as to save the blood race when the end comes."

The next step is the "Membership Ceremony", choosing a code name, announcing the meeting time, keeping it secret, and so on.

But when keeping this procedure secret, Emlyn had some concerns: "But, Lord Nebais..."

Klein asked very firmly, "Lilith probably didn't ask you to report to anyone afterwards, did she?"

He called the first ancestor by his first name, which sounded like an old friend!Emlyn's heart trembled, and he lowered his head: "It seems not."

Klein tried his best to hold back his smile: "This is a secret transaction, you don't even have to report it to Lilith, or someone will notice."

So Emlyn, the second and fifth son of the blood clan, officially joined the club.

Back in the real world, Emlyn felt that what happened just now was like a dream.

Then he thought of those vampires who laughed at him for liking dolls and being a servant of the Church of the Mother Earth: Humph!You never imagined that only I was favored by the ancestors.Just wait and see!When I become stronger, you will realize how ridiculous the ridicule was!
At this time, it happened to be passing through the Order Square, and the bells sounded different today, as if they were particularly pleasant.

But soon, all the gentlemen in the carriage took out their pocket watches and found that it was not yet eleven o'clock, and it was not time to ring the bell.

For a while, there was a "buzzing" discussion in the carriage, and in the square outside the carriage, many gentlemen or ladies also stopped to look at the clock tower.

For the first time in so many years, the "Bell of Order" had a time error.

But Emlyn didn't care about these things. He came to the Harvest Church in a good mood, found out his servant clothes, and skillfully wiped the candlesticks.

At this time, his mind moved, and he looked towards the door: "The traitors are coming again!"

……

East District, in a coffee shop with greasy tabletops.

Klein was enjoying his lunch that had been brought forward for more than half an hour, while listening to the old Kohler talk about the news he had collected in the last week.

It's a pity that there is not much valuable information in it.

After the other party finished speaking, Klein thought for a while, then took out a 2-pound bill made up of loose change, and pushed it over.

The old Kohler waved his hands in fright: "You gave it just now."

Klein smiled and said: "Within this week, I will go to the South for vacation, and it may take two or three weeks before I come back, so pay you the corresponding reward in advance, and don't forget to help me collect information."

"Okay, okay!" Old Kohler took the banknotes happily and gratefully.

This reminded him of the happiest time in his life, when he also had a few pounds in savings.

Then, he had already made up his mind to spend the New Year like this. He planned to buy the ham that he was reluctant to buy before, and use it to match his bread.

It's really impatient... He swallowed unconsciously.

After bidding farewell to the old Kohler, Klein took a carriage and came to the Red Rose Manor. He explained that he was too weak to investigate the real reason for Talim's death, and asked Prince Edsac to hire another wise man.

After obtaining Prince Edesak's permission, Klein left the manor in a carriage and heaved a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, he felt spiritually tense suddenly, the door of the carriage opened quickly, and closed again silently.

A figure was quickly outlined. It was a lady wearing a heavy black dress and a sapphire ring. She had a slightly round face, slender eyes, a gentle temperament, and an extremely outstanding appearance.

Klein was taken aback for a moment, then blurted out: "Triss!"

Triss was not surprised but delighted: "You know me... I knew you knew me!"

Klein asked cautiously, "What do you want to do?"

Triss pursed her lips and smiled: "It's very simple, you report me to the Nighthawks, Punisher, and Mechanical Heart as soon as possible, and let them come here to arrest me!"

Klein tasted the meaning: She is trying to get out of here!

So he asked, "What are you afraid of?"

"Someone is manipulating my life!" Trissy said with her eyes wide open, "There are always some horrifying coincidences! Hehe, they even changed my name!"

Klein almost jumped up, of course he knew this feeling: "What did they change your name to?"

Triss frowned beautifully: "Triss Cheek!"

Chick!Klein felt his whole body go numb again, and a piece of Roselle's diary frantically echoed in his mind:

"...I got an ancient book, which actually mentioned the name of the 'primordial witch'!

"His name is Chick!"

Triss frowned calmly, with a little grievance, a little temptation, and a little evil smile and said: "If you can tell the Orthodox Church about this, and before I was arrested by them, I just met To you, I don't mind letting you know what true happiness is."

How dare I!In case of suddenly awakening as the "primordial witch", the fool will not be able to bear it!Klein sighed silently.

After speaking, Triss' figure quickly disappeared, as if she had never been there.

Klein suddenly came back to his senses, and left the carriage in a "flame jump" manner. He quickly found Azik's copper whistle and candles that he had hidden before, and asked Mr. Azik and the "Founder" for help respectively.

……

Turn the time back to ten o'clock.

After bidding farewell to Upton, Hobert used "travel" to leave and reappeared in the cemetery on the outskirts of Conant.

Huh!Why didn't I use "travel" to return to the Lord's Mansion just now?Hobert thought belatedly.

He looked outside the woods, that was the direction of Backlund!

Hobert thought: I'll just go and see!There is no danger at all, right?

So after changing his appearance, he used "travel" to come to Order Square.

There are still many people walking, chatting, and feeding pigeons here. Hobert smiled: Is this always the case before disasters strike?It's like, like a normal day, it just seems like it's going to be nothing.

He glanced at the bell tower with the "Bell of Order": shit order!

Hobart became impulsive, and used the phantom of the "Necklace of the Faceless Man" to cover up himself who disappeared in place with "Travel".

The next second, he appeared on the clock tower, because it was not yet the hour, and the bell ringer was still resting below.

Hobert looked at the huge bronze bell in front of him, and suddenly picked up the bell cone and slammed it into the bronze bell.

dong~dong~
The gentlemen outside took out their pocket watches and looked in the direction of the clock tower. For the first time in so many years, the "Bell of Order" had a time error.

Hobert sneered and said, "It's so ugly! It's a fake at first glance!"

He took out his knife and cut the bell in two before the bell ringer came up.

Then, Hobert left with "Flash", and sat blankly in the Order Square for a while, watching the police enter the clock tower in batches.

One of the policemen was tall and stood out from the crowd, which made Hobert think of Bishop Utravsky.

He used "travel" again to come to Rose Street, ignoring the vampire servant's calling himself a "traitor".

He sat next to Bishop Utravsky: "Father, why did I still use practical actions to stick to my inner thoughts when I was weak and knew that there was danger. But now that I have become stronger, I will hesitate instead, instead Will be confused, but will not know how to make a choice?"

　Because many friends said that the ceremony of Sequence 3 is a bit like the ceremony of the "generalist" path, so I rented a little modification:
　　Achieving amazing achievements in a certain field makes people associate the abstract concept of that field with the actual name of the person promoted. The more people who can connect the two, the greater the probability of success in promotion.

　　Highlights abstractions and concepts (^^*)
