Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 446: Twilight Hermit Society

(This addition is a bit willful (^^*), see "Author's Words" for details)
After a brief silence, Hobert continued: "During the long years, Adam, who knew the uniqueness of this path, has found and accommodated two copies of the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 1.

"Now he only needs to get the last piece of Sequence 1 Extraordinary Characteristics and complete the corresponding ceremony. In theory, he can become a god."

Only then did Klein recover from his astonishment. He manipulated the "world" to ask, "Then the last Extraordinary characteristic is...?"

Hobert smiled and said, "That's right, it's 0-08!"

Although "The World" didn't show much emotion, Klein, behind the gray fog, suddenly felt an invisible force lingering around him.

From his coming into this world, his experience in Tingen City, and his experience in Backlund just now, he felt as if an invisible hand was manipulating his own destiny.

Now Klein guessed, could this invisible hand be Adam?

But immediately afterwards, Klein denied his own idea, because he really couldn't think of any benefits Adam would gain by manipulating himself?
Is this gray fog space?If Adam got here now, he should be able to get it easily, right?Why do you still manipulate yourself?Make yourself stronger?
Audrey, who was on the opposite side, also recovered from her surprise: "Mr. Emperor, are there a lot of people at the level of the King of Angels who want to become gods recently?"

"No." Hobert said, "Let's go back to the question about the members of the 'Twilight Hermit Society' just now. Don't you think Hermes' name is familiar to you?"

Only then did Audrey realize: "Hermes language! Is that the descendant of Hermes?"

Of course she knew that Hermes provided humans with the ability to communicate with the forces of nature, and it was precisely because this was common sense that she never thought of it.

Hobert smiled and said, "It's Hermes himself!"

He said: "I'll give you a piece of information. The Psychological Alchemist Association has a close relationship with Hermes. It can even be said that some members found the relics left by Hermes and laid the foundation for this organization."

Audrey was surprised that Hermes had survived until now, she nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your gift."

She couldn't help thinking: Could it be that Hermes is the president of the Psychological Alchemist Association?Or could it be said that the establishment of the Psychological Alchemist Association was due to a certain psychological hint left by Hermes in the ruins?

Hobert smiled, indicating that it was nothing, and then he said: "As far as I know, George III is also a member of this organization."

This surprised Klein and Audrey again. Klein immediately guessed. He manipulated the "world" and said, "George III's act of becoming a god is closely related to Adam."

"Yes." Hobert said: "According to the reliable information I have received, the uniqueness and Sequence One Extraordinary characteristics that George III needed to become a god were all provided by Adam."

Klein was a little surprised and asked, "What is Adam's purpose?"

Hobert didn't answer directly, but started telling the matter from another direction: "Since a long time ago, Adam has been trying to resurrect the 'ancient sun god'.

"In the last few hundred years, the purpose of the 'Twilight Hermit Society' has always been to set off a torrent of the times, and the process of George III's becoming a god will be a catalyst for this torrent of the times."

Klein probably understood what Hobert meant: "Adam supported George III in becoming a god in order to become a god, the purpose is to set off a torrent of the times!

"The purpose of Adam becoming a god is to resurrect the ancient sun god."

With the explanation of "world", Audrey understood what Hobert meant. She felt that the purpose and process of becoming a god seemed to be very far away from her, but at this time they seemed to be very close to her.

Hobert smiled and said: "You can understand it this way, but what I want to explain is that there is a very secret information in it, although it is just a guess, it is very likely.

"But now I can't tell you, or that information is beyond 1800 pounds."

At present, even Amon may not be sure about the awakening of the divinity of the "Ancient Sun God" in Adam's body. If Hobert confides this information with certainty, there will be a big problem.

Klein nodded, this answer has exceeded his expectations.

Audrey on the opposite side asked: "Mr. Emperor, why do you know so much about Adam?"

Klein also looked at Hobert, because he also had similar doubts. Hobert seemed to know more information about the "Twilight Hermit Society" than Roselle.

Regarding this question, Hobert had already prepared: "Just last week, Adam went to the 'Founder'.

"Because of the 'Creator''s intervention in the Great Smog Incident in Backlund, Adam was worried that the 'Creator' would affect the torrent of the times that he finally created."

Klein and Audrey were a little surprised, they didn't expect such a high-level meeting to happen in the last week!
Klein thought of it: So Hobert learned so much information about the "Twilight Hermit Society" through the "Founder"'s attention to the process of George III's becoming a god.

Audrey asked curiously: "What is the torrent of the times that Adam wants to create, or is creating?"

Hobert said: "The 'creator' believes that the improvement of the steam engine has brought the world into a new era, the production capacity of the countries in the Northern Continent is gradually overcapacitated, and the gap between the rich and the poor is gradually widening. These unprecedented problems have caused A series of contradictions."

Klein was taken aback for a moment, he really wanted to hear the description of the second industrial revolution.

Audrey was a little worried: "Is there no way to solve these problems?"

Hobert smiled: "I can't see a solution at the moment."

Specifically, it is the current policy strategy of the North and South Continents, and there is no way to resolve such contradictions.

Only by passing on the contradiction of overcapacity can it be possible to resolve the contradiction.

Either it is transferred to the outside world or to the people at the bottom. The transfer to the outside world will definitely lead to war, and the transfer to the bottom will intensify domestic conflicts.

So for the current rulers of the northern and southern continents, there is a dilemma.

Klein asked again: "What role did George III play in this?"

Hobert smiled and said, "I can't answer this question for you."

Klein was slightly taken aback, but he thought that George III had abolished the "Corn Act" in recent years and implemented many new policies, which seemed to intensify the contradictions at home and abroad: Could it be that Hobert's intentional concealment was because it involved Some key ritual?

Audrey was keenly aware: "Mr. Emperor, does Adam's becoming a god have any effect on me who have the same path?"

"For now, you can only become a Sequence 2 of this pathway at most." Hobert said: "Only in the future can you become a Sequence 1 of this pathway."

Audrey was a little strange: "Why are there these effects?"

Hobert smiled and said, "That's another question."

Klein used his rich mystic knowledge to guess: According to the law of conservation of Extraordinary characteristics, when a path has a true god, there may be no Sequence 1.After all, to become a true god, one needs three copies of the Extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 1 of this pathway.But why is it possible for Miss Justice to become a Sequence 1 in the future?Is there any law in it that I don't know?
Hobert once again used the "Psychological Spoon" to hypnotize Audrey and "The World", making them forget about Adam after they left above the gray mist.

"World" then said: "You go to the 'Brave Bar' and ask for a glass of beer, and tell the bartender that you are looking for Ms. Sharon, who was introduced by Detective Sherlock. No matter what reply you get from the bartender, you will take a taxi after drinking all the beer. Leave. Miss Sharon of the Moderate Party will meet you in the carriage."

Hobert nodded. In fact, he knew this method, but he also knew that Klein would return to Backlund in the future and would still have contact with Miss Sharron, so he had to spend 300 pounds to make a formality.

On the other hand, Audrey keenly grasped the name "Detective Sherlock": Could this be Mr. World's identity in the real world?It turned out that he was a detective, no wonder he had such a strong "anti-detection" ability. All along, it was almost difficult for me to get any psychological information from him.

Klein has already given up this identity, so he is not afraid that Miss Justice will find out.

After the transaction ended, it came to the final link of information exchange.

"Little Sun" proposed to determine a gesture of praying to Mister Fool, but the experienced Alger objected: "Compared with other secret organizations, the most notable feature and advantage of our Tarot Club is that the members do not know each other.

"Let me take an extreme example, even if one of our members is arrested and tortured, it will not affect others.

"Once there is a complete set of 'signatures' or iconic gestures, the betrayal of the traitors allows hostile forces to use these methods to fish us out one by one."

This remark made everyone calm down, and they lost the idea of ​​designing prayer gestures.

It's just that Audrey felt a little pity, not only Audrey, but Klein also felt a little pity: I just thought of a special gesture!

Hobert said to himself: This is the difference between "Seer" and "Lawyer". The "Seer" develops its own power habitually and secretly. Can't hide it either.

Following the shelving of this proposal, Klein announced the end of this Tarot Club.

……

Backlund, south area of ​​the bridge.

Emlyn's sight returned to normal, and he saw puppets of all sizes in the room.

Call ~
Emlyn took a long breath, calmed down, and recalled the first Tarot club he participated in: "Except for Mr. Fool, the other members are not too strong. Could it be that they are all picked out for some reason like me? middle?
"There are ancestors behind me, who is behind them? What is certain is that behind the 'Emperor' is the 'Founder'!"

Emlyn thought of the deal initiated by the "Emperor" at the party: "What information would be worth 5000 pounds? Why do the other members seem to be so convinced? They started raising money immediately!"

He thought of the Extraordinary characteristic that the "emperor" sold him: "3000 pounds to 3500 pounds... the hope of becoming a baron in a short time is really embarrassing for me!"

As for the deal initiated by the "Emperor" with the blood clan, he decided to discuss this matter with Lord Nebais at a party the day after tomorrow to see if Lord Nebais is interested.

Although Emlyn doesn't go out very much, he occasionally attends blood race gatherings and knows some knowledge about Extraordinary characteristics.

Because of this, he knew that although the asking price of "Emperor" had some premiums, those premiums were within the acceptable range.

The key is the Extraordinary characteristics of the followers of the "primordial moon". I believe that Lord Nebais will not refuse such a deal.

If he facilitates the transaction, he is equivalent to getting a reward of 500 pounds.

But there is still 3000 pounds!

Emlyn sighed in his heart, it was the first time he was so worried about money.

Then he began to imagine: The "emperor" would get more than 3 pounds in income after completing this transaction. Although he knew that it was not his own, but if he had so much money, he would be a rich man in Backlund.If I had that much money...

Emlyn looked at the puppets in the room and showed a hearty smile.

……

Above the gray mist, inside the ancient palace.

Klein picked up the "psychological spoon" and hypnotized himself.

The previous two times, the "Emperor" hypnotized the "World". For Klein, who was not able to exchange with the secret puppet, such hypnosis had no effect on his body.

Fortunately, Hobert had to return to the real world to perform the bestowing ceremony in order to regain the "psychological spoon", which gave Klein room to manipulate.

Then everyone began to make sacrifices to the "Fool", and these sacrifices were basically the income of the "Emperor".

Klein thought again that there would be only a pitiful 9 pounds left in his wallet. Of course, besides the banknotes, he also had 5 gold coins, but that was all he had.

When he first came to Backlund, his financial situation was even better than it is now!
At present, we have to take one step at a time and wait until we go to sea. There are many villains in the sea.

Back in the real world, Klein sacrificed the reward to Hobart to the gray mist, and then bestowed the "psychological spoon" together with those gold pounds to Hobart who had performed the corresponding ceremony.

Klein's plan was to rest at the hotel for one night before embarking on the journey to Pritz Harbor.

He sighed with emotion: Fortunately, the train ticket has been bought in advance, otherwise it would be another expense that makes people feel heavy.

……

Fenepot Kingdom, Geoffrey Territory.

Hobert first put away the "psychological spoon" on the altar, and then counted the gold pounds he got.

The income from this gathering was exactly 5000 pounds, including 3200 pounds from Audrey's two transactions, 800 pounds from Klein's two transactions, and 500 pounds each from Forsi and Alger.

In addition, there are 7 pieces of sequence 8 levels of extraordinary materials of Little Sun.

In the final free communication session, the two of them had already discussed it. Two days later, that is, on Wednesday afternoon, "Little Sun" paid Hobert a total of 17 Extraordinary characteristics including the arrears and the reward for this time.

Then Hobert gave the "Provocative Warhammer" to "Little Sun" by sacrificing it to the fool. After "Little Sun" exchanged the weapon for enough merit, he then exchanged it for Hobert's asking price: 15 pieces of extraordinary materials.

In other words, in the following week, Hobert will receive 32 pieces of extraordinary materials.

He smiled slightly: I made a small fortune.

　Yesterday was a good day. The author was woken up early in the morning by the sound of firecrackers for weddings in the community, so he got up early.

　　This gave the author time to write [-] words in one day yesterday (*°▽°*)
　　Originally, the author wanted to save the extra [-] words, but after thinking about it, I decided to post it. After all, the author has never had the habit of saving manuscripts.

　　This time, the focus of the update is self-willed, without any reason, just to add an update (￣︶￣)
　　I consumed too much energy yesterday, so the author is going to sleep late today, and resume the update of the 6000-word chapter tomorrow.
