Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 464 The Doomed Hobart
(Ask for a monthly pass!)

Hobert barely made any money at this gathering. He spent 4000 pounds to buy the Extraordinary characteristics of the "Faceless Man", and sold information for 4300 pounds.

Of course, there are two Extraordinary materials from Little Sun, and Emlyn's 1000-pound potion. The total income that can be obtained immediately is only 2800 pounds.

So Hobert sacrificed 700 pounds, which was enough to pay for Klein's Extraordinary Characteristics.

After a short rest, Hobert used "travel" to come to Connaught City, and discussed with Upton about the study group sent by the favored ones from the Southern Continent.

At that time, Upton will be responsible for the reception and study matters. Of course, Hobert will pay the gold pounds in advance for the required expenses. After the total expenses are calculated, an additional [-]% will be reimbursed to the Balk family.

Although this is a matter for the family, after Hubert was busy, he used many of his own channels, and the price increase of about 10% is already a very reasonable charge.

For this reason, Hobert first paid Upton 2000 pounds as the cost of studying, and any excess will be refunded.

Then he talked with Upton about customizing the train and carriages, and Hobert paid Upton another 2000 pounds as a deposit and modification costs for the train.

As for the rewards for these two missions for Upton, there are two options. The first is one-sixth of the Extraordinary characteristic of "Corrupted Baron", and the second is a reward of 600 pounds.

Of course, Appleton chose to accumulate Extraordinary characteristics, 3600 pounds, but he couldn't buy a Sequence 6 Extraordinary characteristic.

In the end, Hobert talked about the spoils with Upton: "According to the usual practice, if you get spoils such as Extraordinary characteristics above Sequence 9, they must be handed over to me for certain processing.

"General curses, pollution caused by out-of-control, etc. can all be disposed of, and most importantly, the processed Extraordinary characteristics can reduce the burden of potions on Extraordinary people."

Upton was taken aback, but he didn't expect such a good thing: "Do I need to pay any fees?"

"No need," Hobert said, "This is the favor of the favored ones."

He is also worrying about the favored ones, otherwise, the potion that he takes too much will definitely bring a lot of burden to the favored ones.

As for the fee, there is no need to worry about it, as long as the Extraordinary characteristics are sent, it is equivalent to paying the fee.

As Upton repeatedly lamented, "The welfare of the beloved is so great," Hobert left his office and came to the warehouse containing building materials.

Seeing the piles of local building materials, Hobert gave a wry smile, and there was only one word left: Move!

It took a full hour and a half for Hobert to move all the materials into the "Nation of Disorder". After he was promoted to Sequence 5, he felt for the first time that his spirituality was being exhausted.

And in the "Nation of Disorder", there are building materials all over the hills and plains, as if to rebuild the hills at Hobart's feet.

Back in Geoffrey, Hobert was not in a hurry to move the construction materials out. He planned to take a break and stack the materials several times to different construction sites.

Then Hobert rummaged through the pile of debris, and finally found the pair of eyeballs obtained during the tomb robbery, and used "Nation of Disorder" to confirm that it was an auxiliary material at the Sequence 5 level.

Then these must be the eyes of the six-winged gargoyle. Enduring fatigue, Hobert completed the deal with Klein at a price of 700 pounds before returning to his room to rest.

That night, Hobert fell asleep without meditation.

……

Hobert just woke up and was about to have breakfast when he received a letter from Edwina. He thought it was a spell, but there was only one letter.

Taking it apart, it turned out that Edwina had obtained the latest information. Yesterday, a great battle broke out between "Vice Admiral Dusk" and "Admiral Blood" in the southern waters of Kabi Island.

Now is the time when the fleet of "Vice Admiral Twilight" is at its weakest. Edwina guessed that the fleet of "Vice Admiral Twilight" might go to nearby Pontegal Island or Rambe Island for repairs.

But it is more likely to temporarily hide their tracks on the sea, and wait for some of the wounded to die and some of the wounded to basically recover their combat effectiveness before landing on an island to recuperate.

As for the current position of the fleet, Edwina gave three positions on the sea. If they were not in these three positions, it meant that the other party might have left a relatively safe sea area, and it would be difficult to find them in that case.

Without further ado, Hobart was ready to act immediately.

It wasn't that Hobert was reckless, but that he had already considered the tactics of hunting "Vice Admiral Twilight" before this.

The ocean is the home field of "Vice Admiral Twilight", and it comes and goes without a trace. Even if Hobert has the ability to "travel", it is difficult to find the opponent in the first step.

So once you get the news, you must attack immediately!
Even if it was a trip all the way to let the "Vice Admiral Twilight" take a look at the oil painting, the purpose of this attack would be achieved.

As long as the oil painting is marked with "Vice Admiral Twilight", then Hobart can calmly launch continuous raids and consume "Vice Admiral Twilight" to death.

He picked up the oil painting and adjusted the magical item on his body.

Now Hobert would carry the oil painting on his back whenever he encountered a battle he was not sure about.

And hunting a pirate general is an uncertain battle.

Although the other party is also a Sequence 5, the pirate generals are generally very rich and own at least one sealed item.

There are also characters such as the first mate and second mate on the ship, which are difficult to deal with.

Hobert also planned to use "Lieutenant General Dusk" as his training target. Even if the hunt was unsuccessful, it would be good to improve his combat qualities.

And this kind of large-scale pirate group, not only the pirate generals, first mates and others have high rewards, even the bosun, captain, and captains of other ships must have rewards, and they will not lose if they kill any one.

Then Hobert took the sea map, and after using "travel", he first came to Pontegal Island.

Hobert used "Travel" to search for two small islands, but did not find the ships of the "Vice Admiral Twilight" fleet.

An experienced pirate like this would certainly not go to a certain island to recuperate when he was weak.

So Hobert used "Travel" to continue to investigate the three locations on the sea given by "Vice Admiral Iceberg". As for the specific location, he used "Necklace of Faceless Man" to navigate.

When he came to the sea, Hobert suddenly lost confidence in this operation. It was not the first time for him to come to the sea, but the situation where he couldn't see any land or any ships at a glance was still somewhat disappointing. people despair.

After Hobert used the "travel" to come to the sea, he immediately switched to the "low flying" ability to fly over the sea.

But there is also an advantage of the sea that can't see the border: a good view.

It didn't take much searching to determine that Vice Admiral Dusk's fleet wasn't nearby.

But when Hobert came to the second position, he was unlucky to encounter a huge storm.

As far as the eye can see, the clouds are very low, giving people a great sense of oppression.

The sea is full of strong winds and waves. If you are in the air, the waves are not so violent, but once you are on the sea, you can feel that the surrounding waves are as high as the hills!

Flying here is like flying on a moving ground, which makes people feel insecure and even a little scared.

Fortunately, I was wearing the "Ocean Pendant", otherwise such a strong wind would definitely blow people into the sky like a piece of paper.

Although the view from this position is not good, Hobert vaguely saw the lights in the storm, and after flying closer to observe, he determined that it was a fleet of eight ships.

Among them, the flagship is seven to eighty meters long and eleven or twelve meters wide. In Hobart's concept, such a large ship is about the same size as a warship with a displacement of three to four thousand tons.

To be honest, it is a bit unbelievable that a wooden boat can reach this length, which is about the same length and width as a four-story residential building with seven or eight units long.

As the storm lashed him, Hobert checked his gear one last time and dove into the water.

Although it was in a storm, Hobert estimated that someone might have found him, so he prepared to make a surprise attack from underwater.

Standing in the waves of the waves, even a Sequence 5 in Hobert was somewhat frightening. This is the mighty power of nature.

It took him a lot of effort to find the position of the flagship of the fleet.

From a distance, Hobert saw the monster-like bottom of the flagship ship. For some reason, Hobert had the illusion that it was a living monster, giving people the impression that it could open its mouth and swallow him at any time. The feeling in the belly.

The closer he got, the more Hobert felt that something was wrong. This ship seemed to have a very high spirituality, the bottom of the ship was dark, and it occasionally squirmed.

This made Hobert couldn't help but think: flagships at the admiral level basically have certain extraordinary properties.

When he came near the ship, Hobert saw several people jumping into the water, and he realized that his whereabouts had been discovered.

But Hobert didn't panic. He moved through the sea nimbly like a fish. No one who entered the water was as nimble as him, almost chasing him and swimming under the flagship.

Hobert drew his knife, cut a hole in the bottom of the boat, and swam into the boat along the water.

The bottom cabin inside the boat was very dimly lit, and the water level was not high, only reaching Hobert's thigh.

As soon as he came out of the water, Hobert smelled a strong smell of blood and saw the dead body hanging on the cabin wall.

Then he found that the hole he entered the cabin just now "healed" quickly, and the water was quickly drained.

There are many bones and more corpses on the ground. It can be seen that their deaths are miserable, and their flesh and blood seem to grow on the hull of the ship.

Some of these corpses seemed to have struggled during their lifetime, but they still did not escape the fate of merging with the hull.

Just as Hobart was about to use "flash" to enter the upper floor, his spirituality sensed something, and he looked in the direction of the stairs warily.

Lights and footsteps appeared, but Hobert did not hide, but went up to meet them.

A Sequence 5 can run amok in the sea.

Soon, Hobert saw a pirate wearing Rorsted Island's characteristic costume, coming towards this side with a lamp.

Hobert was about to make a move, and then had a psychic, but the other party came first: "My guest, if you haven't had breakfast, the captain invites you to have breakfast together."

Hobert put away the knife and smiled slightly: "That's really great, please lead the way."

The upper floor is a storage room, with many wine barrels and grain, and some goats and pigs, as well as many chickens, ducks and geese.Of course, there are some goods.

The second floor is where the prisoners are kept and the goods are stored, but Hobert saw that the cages were basically all girls dressed in different regions.

Some of them had numb expressions, and some were sobbing quietly.

The pirate who walked in front said politely: "Guest, if you have a crush on a lady, you can ask her to serve you in the restaurant."

"No need." Hobert said in a bad tone.

This is the pirate, the outlaw in people's mouth.

The third floor is the resting place for the crew and the fort on the lower floor. Body shakes slightly.

The cabin was shaking so hard, but there were still crew members sleeping like dead pigs.

The fourth floor is a public area such as some restaurants, as well as an arsenal with a thick iron door, and a large turntable. Seven or eight people are chanting and slowly turning the winch to fix the ropes on the ship.

Going out from here is the stormy deck, and many sailors are busy fighting against this huge storm.

The pirate leading the way covered his hat and walked forward against the wall, for fear of being blown away.

Hobert saw that there was a huge wave that had swallowed the bow of the ship, and the whole ship began to tilt sharply to the left front, giving the illusion that the ship was going to capsize.

However, the huge ship under his feet still broke through the huge waves and continued to move forward amidst the turbulent waves.

"Fools whores!" cried a voice. "Left rudder! Go in the direction of the waves!"

On the fifth floor higher than the deck, there are exclusive restaurants for the captain and first mate, and even entertainment places such as bars and chess and card rooms.

The view here was good, but Hobert noticed that the shaking also seemed to be greater.

In the restaurant, there were five people sitting around the dining table, the leader was in his forties, with two beards on his lips, and his face was frighteningly pale.

In addition, there are seven or eight young girls who are almost naked shuttle among them, serving these five people.

The leader smiled and said: "Welcome to the 'Tree of Flesh'! Girls, give this guest a breakfast."

Hobert opened his mouth slightly: I said that I went to the wrong place, do you believe me?
Immediately, he felt that something was wrong. This was the second time that he had gone to the wrong place recently. The last time he broke into the meeting room of the "Judgment Group", this time he simply came to the "Tree of Flesh" of the "Admiral of Blood" On the number!
He first thought of whether he might be plagued by bad luck: it's not your fault!Lao Tzu will help you sacrifice something from Farbouti to you, and you will let Lao Tzu suffer from bad luck?

But now is not the time to think about this, Hobert sat down opposite the "Admiral of Blood" generously: "Sorry, I hope I didn't disturb your breakfast, I just came to ask for directions."

A bearded one-eyed man on the left asks, "Ask for directions? The way to hell?"

"On the way to the 'Vice Admiral Dusk' flagship." Hobert thanked the girl who served him breakfast, and then said: "I heard from my friend that you had a conflict with him just now."

"Admiral of Blood" Senor asked, "What do you want him for?"

"Of course to hunt him!"
