Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 439 Gift from the Abyss

As in the description in the notes, on a huge tree, there are shriveled or fresh corpses hanging.

It can be seen from the fresh corpses that the hanged people had suffered inhuman torture before.

It is said that such emotions as pain, resentment, fear, etc., can please more advanced demons.

Hobert simply counted, and there were more than 200 corpses hanging on the tree, which made this towering tree creak and creak.

Seeing this scene, although Hobert had some opinions on the gods, he fully affirmed the role of the Orthodox Church.

If there is no attack from the Orthodox Church, many places may be like the domain of Viscount Teutonic. The people are numb and dull, and there may be countless trees full of dead bodies.

When he came to the tree, Knight Keton got off his horse, knelt down devoutly, and then introduced with some pride that there was such a "sacrifice tree" in his territory, but unfortunately he only hangs more than 30 corpses now .

For this reason, he said that he still has to work harder to try to hang up [-] corpses as soon as possible.

While talking to him, Hobert snatched a hair from his coat while he wasn't looking: You don't have that chance, because I'm going to kill you tonight.

As for the fact that these hung corpses are not related to Hobert, why did Hobert do this?
Because Hobert was beaten up in Backlund, he was full of anger, and he had nowhere to vent his anger.

Finally, he arrived at the mansion of the Viscount Teutonic. The viscount, who was in his prime, greeted Hobert politely at the door, and sneaked a few glances at Helen who was dressed as a maid, feeling in his heart that Hobert was very lucky .

The banquet started in a harmonious atmosphere, until Grove also came to the banquet, the atmosphere immediately became subtle.

Grove deliberately approached Hobart, as if provocative, and swayed in front of Hobart twice.

He sneered and said, "I heard that Baron Hobert wants to take all the land in the territory under the name of the lord's mansion?"

"That's right," Hobert certainly didn't give him a good face: "It's just to prevent knights like you from running rampant in the countryside!"

"You are discrediting the nobles! There will be no good results!"

Hobert smiled and said, "Your son is now my servant!"

"You..." Grove drew out his sword and was about to rush forward to fight Hobert desperately. Fortunately, Teutonic blocked them, so the two didn't fight at the banquet.

After Grove left angrily, the atmosphere of the banquet became harmonious again, as if the episode just now had never happened.

Of course, this kind of harmonious banquet is basically talking nonsense.

At the end of the banquet, Teuton tactfully expressed the hope that Hobert would take action to clean up the monsters in the lake again.

After Hobert beat those fish-headed crocodile beasts so that they dare not go to Jeffrey Town, those fish-headed alligator beasts began to attack Teutonic town vigorously.

Hobert laughed, neither agreeing nor refusing.

The banquet ended in such a harmonious but estranged and inefficient atmosphere and conversation.

After Hobert and his party took their leave, they rode on horses and left unhurriedly.

It was still Keton Knight who sent them to the pier.

On the pier, there were several well-dressed men waiting there. The leader was in his 30s, with black hair and unruly eyes. No matter how much he smiled, it seemed to be a smirk.

Knight Keton quickly got off his horse and prostrated himself on the ground in front of the man: "Mr. Yarlin!"

The smirking Mr. Arling didn't even look at Keton, but said to Hobert, "I brought you a present."

He stretched out his hand to show the gift in his palm, which was an exquisite wooden box with a devil pattern engraved on it.

Hobert didn't dismount: "Is the demon family showing favor to me?"

"It seems that you know something about us!" Yarlin said with a smirk: "This is a gift from the great 'Abyss', you are the one chosen by him!

"Cheers! The 'Abyss' will return to the earth!"

Hobert smiled: "Sorry, I am a devout believer of the Mother Earth!"

After finishing speaking, he bypassed Yarlin and the others and came to the pier. While watching Yarlin and the others, he boarded the boat.

Yarlin chased after him and continued to give presents, and they stood there smiling at Hobert, laughing so hard that it made one's heart shudder.

At this time, zombie-like town residents came to the pier and kowtowed and cheered to Hobert.

This made Hobert wonder for a while, had he already let a high-ranking demon fool him?
But he checked his spirituality and spirit many times, and found nothing wrong.

Until the boat sailed to the center of Full Moon Lake, the demons and demon followers on the pier were still watching Hobart.

Hobert was also staring at them. Suddenly, he felt his pockets a little tight. While staring at the opposite pier, he stretched out his hand, and finally took out a delicate wooden box with a devil's head engraved on it. pattern.

It was the small wooden box in Yarlin's hand.

"Damn!" Hobert almost missed and let the wooden box fall into the cabin.

He glanced at Yarlin on the pier again. Although he couldn't see Yarlin's face clearly, he could still feel his smirk.

Helen who was at the side said: "I really can't see that you actually have a devil inside, and let these devils give you gifts as soon as they see you."

It was Helen who was the most nervous just now. There had been some conflicts between the "Society Society" and the demon family before, and she thought that those people on the pier were after her.

Hobert smiled and said, "Since you like it so much, let me give you this gift."

"I do not want."

"Here you are, you're welcome!"

Helen showed a beautiful chuckle, and snorted shyly and cutely: "Don't try to lie to me, this gift must not be a good thing! Otherwise, you wouldn't give it to me."

"Since you don't want it, I'll throw it away!" After speaking, Hobert threw the small box into the lake and watched it sink into the water.

Helen also noticed that this gift was unusual, and she asked with some concern: "Do you want to ask Ms. Monica to help?"

"No need." Hobert smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of the 'Abyss' coming!"

"Lie." Helen said with a smile, "You've obviously started to get scared."

Then she asked, "What is the abyss?"

"I'll tell you after you become the captain of Jeffrey's official Extraordinary and make great contributions to me." Hobart said while looking at the lake thoughtfully.

He was a little surprised, why did the demon say: The abyss chose itself?
In addition to being a real place that symbolizes the source of all evil and a place of corruption, the abyss is also a name for the "demon" pathway sequence 0.

Hobert didn't know whether the devil was referring to the place called the abyss, or the character "the abyss".

No matter what he expressed, Hobert felt strange that he had never been in contact with "demons" or things from the "Abyss" path before, so how could "Abyss" give him a gift!

That painting!

Hobert suddenly thought that according to the records in "Colin Antegonus Notes", the oil painting was obtained from the Southern Continent, which is said to be a demon family.

Thinking of this, Hobert said to everyone: "I recalled an important thing, I have to go back first!"

After several people failed to agree, Hobert had disappeared from the wooden boat.

After a second or two, the space in Hobert's bedroom suddenly became unreal. Hobert stepped out of the illusion and glanced at the oil painting hanging on the wall.

It's still the same landscape painting, nothing has changed.

Hobert sat on the chair and continued to think about what was going on?

Suddenly he was struck by inspiration, and glanced at the table beside him. At some point, a small wooden box appeared in the center of the table beside him, with a pattern of a devil engraved on it.

Hobert was not as surprised as last time this time. He looked at the wooden box carefully, and then, praying to himself, entered the "Nation of Disorder" and inspected the small wooden box with his real vision.

It looked like an ordinary small wooden box, without revealing any evil aura.

Back in the real world, Hobert simply opened the small wooden box. Since this small wooden box is following him, it is better to take the initiative to investigate instead of turning a blind eye.

Inside the small wooden box is a quaint ring carved with a devil's head, probably due to the age, the platinum ring has turned black.

Hobert didn't touch the ring, he entered the "land of disorder" again, and observed the ring with "true vision".

Under the "real vision", the demon on the ring seems to come alive. Although there is only a head portrait, the expression is sometimes ferocious, sometimes angry, and sometimes roaring.

Hobert didn't dare to bring the ring to the "Nation of Disorder", he was afraid that this was a trick of the "Abyss", a trick to seize the "Nation of Disorder".

Although the probability of "Abyss" knowing that he is the master of "Nation of Disorder" is very small, what if the other party finds out through some means?

"Demons" and "devils" are notoriously cunning, in addition to being the mouthpieces of evil.

Hobert had never dealt with demons before, so of course he had to be careful.

Back in the real world, Hobert didn't even intend to touch the ring. He covered the box, put it in a locked drawer, and locked the drawer.

He knew that an ordinary lock would definitely not be able to lock this box, or this ring, but this way he could feel at ease.

As for why "Abyss" gave Hobert this ring?He is going to investigate tonight.

Because of the protection of the "Nation of Disorder", Hobert is not afraid of the "Abyss". Today's "Abyss" may still be the "Demon King" Farbouti of the Second Epoch.

Speaking of the eight ancient gods, except for this "demon king", they have all fallen once. Although the "ancestor of the blood race" and the "dragon of fantasy" are dead but not dead, they have fallen after all.

Only Farbouti has no clear information showing that he has fallen, but Hobert still remembers that in the current Fifth Epoch, he is still active as the "dark side of the universe".

This should be an ancient god who cherishes life and understands the essence of "dog". Hobert thinks that he will not mess around.

After a long sigh, Hobert took out a note from his pocket.

When Grove entered the dining room at Viscount Teutonic's mansion, he slipped it to Hobert quietly when he wandered around twice in front of him.

Hobert opened the note and looked at it. The above content was Grove's previous contribution to the Viscount Teutonic: the first was to use Hobert, an unstable factor, to ask for the king's assistance; the second was to use Hobert's power Fight against the demons that have long been out of control in the territory of the Viscount Teutonic.

After reading it, Hobert burned the note with a spiritual flame: "This is a good counselor!"

The note was both a report to Hobert and an invitation for credit.

Hobert pondered for a while, and these two strategies were tantamount to "empty-handed white wolves" for the Viscount Teutonic. They didn't cost much, but they were likely to get huge benefits.

For Hobert, he can go to the other side of Full Moon Lake to fight demons at will in the future, without having to worry about Viscount Teutonic's territorial awareness.

As for the king's assistance, Hobert pursed his lips and smiled, of course, the more assistance the better.

Then Hobert came to the study and wrote a letter to Bishop Simpson, talking about his experience in the Viscount Teutonic territory, and asked Simpson for more detailed information about the Nankelsen Demon Family.

After another half hour, Xier and the others rushed back.

Facing their worried eyes, Hobert told them: "It's okay, go and do your work!"

Schill and Kerwin couldn't help either, and Hobert was worried about asking Helen to help, so he simply lied that the problem had been solved.

Several people were about to leave when Hobert called to Kerwin again: "Come with me to the main hall."

Seeing that the lord was about to start dealing with government affairs again, Schill and Helen were completely relieved.

Coming to the main hall, Hobert said, "I have an errand for you."

Kerwin said excitedly, "Please tell me."

Generally, the errands assigned by the Sir Alexis are meant to be reused.

"Go to Bugas City or Grana Port and hire a group of carpenters and decoration workers." Hobert said: "After a while, the territory will need a large number of decoration workers and carpenters. Pay enough."

Kerwin nodded: "Yes!"

"Go to Philip to get 500 gold lisuo, take the boat rented by Sill, and set off this afternoon."

Hobert asked Schill to rent a boat in Bugas City to guide Mon Lisa and his party, and the boat has been docked at the port.

"Yes!" Kerwin shouted again energetically, and turned around to leave.

"That's right." Hobert called to him: "Go and call Grove's son."

Just as Kerwin left, Allen came to report: "My lord, Wayne is back."

Hobert hurriedly called him in, and Wayne happily met with Hobert and reported the general experience of buying a boat.

The boat sold well, but it took a few days to recruit the crew.

They are all brand new steamships. According to Hobart's requirements, a cargo ship with a displacement of about 800 tons and four passenger ships that can carry 32 passengers.

Hobert was very satisfied with Wayne's errands, and after hearing the report from the accompanying financial staff, he canonized Wayne as a "Shipping Knight" on the spot!
Wayne was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear, and all the fatigue during this period was forgotten by him.

Hobert said: "Have a night's rest, and you have to work hard again to go to Grana Port to purchase a batch of decoration materials. I will ask Roy to send you the list later.

"As for the passenger ships, one went with Kerwin, and the other three went to the port of Grana, one to the city of Bugas, and one to the city of Feneporte.

"Regardless of whether there are passengers or not, stay in the port for a day and a night before heading back."

Wayne wondered: "But, but we don't have the relevant procedures."

"There is no need for relevant procedures! Someone will send us the procedures after a while." Hobert smiled and said, "If I can argue with the port staff and attract people to watch the fun, I will give the captain a reward!

"By the way, every ship must have a conspicuous banner: South Colson, Welcome to Jeffrey Town!"

Wayne didn't understand what the lord was going to do, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then reacted to the hint of Xier's winking: "Yes!"

Let Wayne go to rest first, after a while, Kerwin brought three people, because the count did not specify which son he was calling, so Kerwin brought all three of Grove's sons.

After sending Kerwin away, Hobert looked at the three of them. Grove's eldest son was named Archie, with big arms and a long beard like a rough warrior.

The second son is called Edgar, and he is also very tall, but he has not grown a beard.

The third son Dennis is still a teenager, thin and not as tall as his two older brothers.

But only Dennis glared at Hobart angrily, and dared to look at him, while Archie and Edgar groveled and showed enough obedience.

Hobert said: "I need two servants recently, Archie and Edgar can stay as my servants, as for Dennis..."

"Hobert Jeffrey! You are an insult to the knight..." Dennis only shouted halfway, and Edgar quickly covered his mouth.

Archie hurriedly confessed: "My lord, children can't speak, don't be surprised."

Dennis broke free from Edgar's hand: "You are afraid of him, but I am not..."

Hobert smiled and said, "Since you are so talented, stay and be my servant!"

So the news quickly spread throughout the town, and Grove, who had defected, angered the lord who was going to the banquet, so the lord let all the sons of Grove be his servants as soon as he came back to vent his anger.

Grove on the other side naturally cursed again, Viscount Teutonic scolded Grove with him, and at the same time trusted Grove more and more.

But in order to prevent Grove from being threatened by Hobert with his son, the Viscount Teutonic gave Grove five beauties, and hoped that the nearly 50-year-old Grove would give birth to a Teutonic son who could inherit his current family business child.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Hobert received a reply from Bishop Simpson. The bishop said in the letter: "As far as we know, the forces of Blood Worship are entrenched in the five neighboring territories of Viscount Teutonic, Baron Eugene, and Baron Felix. .

"It is mainly members of the North family, and it is said that there is a demigod sitting in it, but it is not clear which field it is in.

"There are also some members of the Andrerad family. The specific distribution of the two family members is not clear, but there are at least three Sequence 5s."

Hobert asked the kitchen to bring raw meat to treat the big dog in the spirit world that was already bleeding, while pondering the other party's strength.

If it was in Sequence 6, Hobert still felt that he could not be offended, but after he was promoted, he had a few Level 1 Sealed Artifacts, and Hobert became more courageous, thinking that he could go to the other side to kill a battle .

After nightfall, Hobert put on compact and neat clothes, took his magical items and sealed items with him, and entered the spirit world under the "navigation" of the "Necklace of the Faceless Man".

What Hobert was looking for was the Keton knight who led the way for him today. It only took a second or two for Hobert to come out from the spirit world and saw Keton worshiping a statue of a demon devoutly.

Keton was startled when he saw Hobert: "My lord..."

Hobert intentionally did not change his appearance, nor did he wear a mask. He needed to distinguish the two identities of Baron Hobert and "God's Favored One".

It is not only for him to distinguish himself, but also for others to distinguish.

Keton seemed to realize something, and jumped to the weapon rack to get the sword. Hobert stepped forward and slashed Keton's throat.

With the sound of blood gushing out, Hobert kicked down the statue of the demon, sat on a chair beside him, and watched Keton, who was clutching his neck, die in agony.

Then Hobert began to use the "psychic wine glass" to channel: "The residence and strength of the members of the Blood Worship Cult that you know."

"..."

After silently reciting seven times, Hobert saw the residences of members of the Blood Worship Cult.

Their residences are easy to confirm, either there are words written in blood on the wall, or there are heads piled up in front of the door.

As for their strength, Keton's cognition is very vague. He only knows that some people can use curses, some people like to kill people, and some people can become huge and become "demonized" monsters.

Hobert pondered for a while, the one that can turn into a "demonized" monster should be a Sequence 6.

Then he found that among these people, there was no Yarlin who appeared on the pier today.

However, Hobert didn't continue to ask, because it was too late. When he started channeling, these demons probably sensed that someone was threatening them.

If you don't hurry, you may not be able to catch a single demon.

"Travel" just finished cooling down, and Hobert stepped into the spirit world again, and came to the residence of the Sequence 6 named Atwood.

The door of this "devil" is full of human heads, some are still "fresh", and some have only skeletons left.

Seeing that the other side's door was open, Hobert quickly jumped onto the roof, and sure enough, he saw a figure running away not far away.

He may have felt that the danger was very close to him, and he "demonized" himself while running away.

Hobert immediately chased after him with "Flash" and "Fly Low": "Chaos!"

Although the "demon" also has a strong defensive ability against attacks in the spiritual realm, Hobart is one sequence higher than him, so Hobart's "chaos" made the demonized Atwood make a stupid choice.

He kicked open the door of a nearby house, ready to add a few of his "favorites"!
Hobert has already caught up: "Holy light!"

Knowing that he was going to deal with the devil, Hobert put on the "Ring of the Priest of Light".

A huge beam of light fell, completely swallowing Atwood.

After the strong light passed, Atwood fell to the ground screaming. The goat horns on his head, ears, nose, shoulders, and legs all melted to varying degrees, making him look like a wax figure that had begun to melt.

The attack of "Holy Light" really has a bonus against demons!

Hobert was about to step forward and chop off the "demon"'s head, but he stopped suddenly because he found that he was surrounded.
