Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 467
Fenepot Kingdom, Geoffrey Territory.

Hobert, who had finished teaching Freya the words, suddenly remembered something very important. He returned to his room, set up a simple altar, and then recited the name of the Evernight Goddess:

"Lower than the stars, more ancient than eternity, Goddess of the Night, you are Lord of Crimson, Mother of Secrets, Queen of Calamity and Fear, Lord of Sleep and Silence.

"You devout beseech your watch;
"Pray for you to help me eliminate bad luck!"

A surge of tranquility descended, the sun was shining brightly outside, but the room was as quiet as the night.

A piece of paraffin wax not far from the altar suddenly floated onto the altar. It was about the thickness of a finger and as long as half a candle. The paraffin became soft and turned into a red liquid after a few seconds.

The liquid formed letters one by one, and finally the letters formed a sentence: Although it is bad luck, it is a reward for you, and such bad luck will happen again.

Then the power of tranquility disappeared, which made Hobert feel like "the other party is offline".

He thought about it for a while, and it seemed that this was the case. He went to the wrong "room" twice, but both achieved a lot.

The first time, Gale and his subordinates were basically blocked in a conference room. Although the "Twilight Admiral" was not found the second time, the "Admiral of Blood" was marked by oil painting.

And also got a clue about "Vice Admiral Twilight", but this clue was given by "Admiral of Blood", and it had to be disinfected in "Nation of Disorder" before use.

Well, let's treat it as a reward. Although these two battles are quite dangerous, I have gained a lot.

Hobert also thought that when he prayed to the Evernight Goddess in the future, he should prepare a bowl of fine sand next to the altar, so that when He wanted to communicate, he had to look for things according to local conditions.

After clearing the altar, Hobert received a letter from "Vice Admiral Iceberg". Edwina first apologized for her misjudgment, and at the same time encouraged Hobert not to be discouraged, and she will continue to pay attention to "Vice Admiral Twilight" As soon as there is news of the whereabouts of Hobart, immediately notify Hobart.

Hobert felt that Edwina's tone was like a teacher's encouragement to a student who had just encountered setbacks, which made him a little lost his position.

At the end of the letter, it was about the transaction of spells. Edwina said that because Hobert wanted them in batches, he could pay 50 gold lisos each.

Along with the letter came a package containing neatly arranged 40 brass-colored charms.

The metal corresponding to the God of Knowledge and Wisdom is brass. Compared with gold, which is the corresponding metal of the Eternal Burning Sun, this is not a too expensive metal.

Hobert found a wooden box, and advanced 2000 gold lisuo and 2000 gold pounds to Edwina first.

Hobert must give the 2000 pounds, because this is the intelligence fee for the entire "Admiral of Blood" pirate group. If "Admiral of Blood" can be hunted down, this amount of money is nothing at all.

For the next three days, Hobert was assisting Dopheus in preparing for the wedding. During this period, he first completed the deal with Emlyn's Pharmacy through The Fool.

After the medicine was distributed to the construction site, many people avoided the bad luck of aggravating their illness and even losing their ability to work.

There are not enough medicines for colds and colds, and not so many medicines for diarrhea.

So Hobert placed another order with Emlyn, asking for 200 potions for treating colds and 300 potions for treating severe colds. The total value of this order was 180 pounds, and he continued to deduct from the 1000 pounds.

Not long after Hobert placed the order, he completed the deal with "Little Sun", to be exact, Little Sun repaid the debt.

The "Hammer of Provocation" and the consumption at the last Tarot meeting, "Little Sun" paid the "Emperor" again with 5 kinds of main materials with a total of 17 sequences and 8 levels.

These main materials are basically the same as last time, with only one new material that has not been seen before.

Hobert wrote another letter to "Vice Admiral Iceberg", asking what kind of material it was, and at the same time, he also asked about several pieces of Extraordinary material seized from the dock island before, so as to know what it was.

Right now, Hobert only has the materials seized from the Mist Demon Wolf, and a few pieces are not very clear, and the rest are known as the main materials.

Hobert hasn't had the time to hunt the magic wolf of fog recently, so he can only let it roam around for a few more days, and wait until he's not busy after a while.

In addition, Hobert also received the bounty received by Alger through his channel through "The Fool". After Alger kept 15%, there was still 7990 pounds.

After subtracting the reward for "Vice Admiral Iceberg", there is still 5990 pounds. The bulk of the proceeds from this operation is still with Hobart.

During these three days, Hobart unloaded all the building materials in the "Nation of Disorder" at the construction site where they were needed.

Also, Bishop Simpson led the team to Jeffrey Territory. He not only brought many bishops and priests, but also two "Druid" teams.

"Druid" is not only the name of the Sequence 5 of the "Cultivator" pathway, but also the official title of the Extraordinary of the Mother Earth Church.

In ancient times, this name represented the emissary of the forest, the warrior who defended all life, and was very apt to the theme of the official Extraordinary of the Church of the Mother Earth.

These two druid teams are elite, including 2 Sequence 6s and 4 Sequence 7s, as well as several "low-sequence" Beyonders.

But Hobert has been very busy recently and really can't spare his time to fight the devil, so he can only put this matter aside for the time being.

In the blink of an eye, Saturday came, and Forsi could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She had finally finished writing her new book, and it must be said that this was the fastest book she had written.

Without Hobert's supervision, she would not have known that she could finish a novel within a month.

When she came to Hobert's study, Forsi hurriedly handed over the manuscript to Hobert, because she had to contact the publishing house, proofread it many times, and typesetting it, and there were still many processes waiting for it.

Hobert briefly looked at the manuscript, and said to Freya who was beside him: "I have something to talk to Miss Fors, please close the door for me."

Freya nodded and closed the door when she went out.

Fors sat opposite Hobert, drinking tea leisurely: "What do you dissatisfy with the plot?"

"No, I want to talk to you about another matter." Hobert took out a red invitation card from the drawer. This invitation card is exquisite in workmanship. The outermost layer is silk, and the inner layer is a cardboard shell. The content of the invitation: "This is my chosen wedding invitation."

Christine had already sent out the invitations from Feneport City. Hobert designed the invitations to invite some of his friends, subordinates and subjects in the territory to the wedding.

In the Fenepot Kingdom, red invitation cards are not popular, because most of them are believers of the Mother Earth, so green symbolizing vitality, or yellow symbolizing harvest, and even white symbolizing holiness are used by many people.

When the invitation designer handed Hobert a white sample, Hobert almost fell in the face.

Forsi felt a little unnatural: "Please, an invitation card?"

She has always been a bit evasive about the wedding: "Hobert, I don't think it should be too grand, after all, after all..."

After all, we are just a contract couple.

"That's exactly what I want to talk to you about." Hobert smiled and said, "I think we should all make choices based on our inner thoughts, are you right?"

Fors didn't quite understand what Hobart meant.

Hobert took a deep breath to hide his slight nervousness: "Miss Forsi, I want to say that through this period of getting along, I already have enough affection for you, and I really want to formally become your boyfriend and partner." A fiancé is not just a so-called contractual relationship."

Forsi looked surprised: Is this Hobart's confession?I just sent a manuscript, how did I receive the confession?what to do?Now how to do?
Forsi was a little nervous for a while, and a little shy for a while.Her pretty face was slightly flushed, and a few strands of hair hung down, which set off her shyness very cutely.

"I hope we can all follow our inner feelings." Hobert continued to guide: "You don't dislike me, do you?"

Fors straightened her back, stood up and sat down, picked up the cup and put it down, and finally nodded slightly.

Hobert stood up with a smile, and came to Forsi's back, his hand just hanging on Forsi's shoulder: "Then listen to me, I will pay you the rest of the 'contract couple' remuneration, and then We end this contract.

"Next, please continue to live in the Lord's Mansion and help your boyfriend, Baron Hobert, deal with the nobles and wealthy businessmen who are always trying to get married.

"And our wedding is an important part of achieving this goal. As long as I get married, those barons and wealthy businessmen will completely give up.

"As for our wedding, we not only need to hold it, but we also need to hold it in a big way, so that all our relatives and friends can attend!"

Hobert leaned down while talking, and put his face on Forsi's shoulder, very close to Forsi, while his hands naturally hung on her chest.

Such an intimate move made Fors somewhat uncomfortable at first, but she didn't avoid or push away Hobart, because in fact, there were already many intimate moves between them.

Listening to Hobart's voice next to his ear, the little discomfort gradually disappeared.

Fors grabbed Hobert's hand that was groping: "But, but, this is still too soon. We just confirmed our relationship today, and we will get married in half a month. I, I always feel that I can't accept it."

Hobert smiled and said, "So, you agreed to my confession just now?"

Fors looked at Hobert with a half-anger and a half-smile, but didn't say anything.

it is more than words.

Hobert saw this delicate, shiny, and healthy-skinned face right in front of him, and he stepped forward to give it a kiss.

Forsi hid: "I, I'm not ready yet."

"Is there any need to prepare? Are you ready now?"

"Forget it, it's ready."

pat~
Hobert was so useless that he almost spit out his mouth.

Forsi hid in Hobert's arms, enjoying the sweetness of this moment. She had described so many love scenes before, and she was almost a little numb, but now she felt that love is really such a sweet feeling .

The two hugged each other for a while, before Hobert continued the topic just now: "Let's hold this wedding properly, we can get married first, and then fall in love."

"But, but, if we find out that we are not suitable for each other in the future, won't we have to divorce?"

"There will be no divorce." Hobert, who was prepared for it, smiled and said, "We can continue to be a 'contracted couple'."

Forsi also smiled, that is to say, no matter what, she will spend the rest of her life with this man in front of her?

However, the proposal of "get married first, fall in love later" was very novel and made Forsi a little excited.

Then they began to discuss who they were going to invite to the wedding.

"Hugh must be invited, and I also want to ask her to be my bridesmaid." Forsi said, "I really want to invite Teacher Dorian, but I wonder if he would like to come?"

Hobert said: "You can send him an invitation card and briefly introduce me in the letter, and whether you want to come and see him." Forsi said again: "I originally wanted to invite friends from the medical school, and some Writer friends, but they are all ordinary people, there is no way to bring them to Fennerport, so forget it.

"And I have already cut off contact with my relatives, so I won't bother them, but I can send an invitation to my father, but only one, because when we arrived in the Southern Continent, our wedding had already passed. it's over.

"Well, the point is, I don't want him to appear at my wedding either."

Forsi took a long breath, feeling that this matter was too heavy.

Hobert said: "Then why don't you invite members of the Justice League to the wedding?"

Forsi nodded: "Alright."

After discussing this matter, they discussed the new book and meeting the publisher.

Hobert had asked Dolphus to contact the publishing house in advance, and the two went back to their rooms, changed into a more formal set of clothes, and then used "travel" to come to the Spring Publishing House in Fenaport City.

The scale of this publishing house can be ranked among the top three in the entire Northern Continent, and most of the best-selling novels in the Fenepot Kingdom are also published by this publishing house.

Because Dophis had greeted him in advance, the two of them waited for a while before meeting the editor-in-chief, Mr. Gordon.

This is a middle-aged man in his 50s, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses. His office is somewhat messy, but his desk is still tidy.

He flipped through the manuscript for about an hour before saying: "Miss Forsi, your writing is still very good, but this kind of biography book is not very popular now, please be mentally prepared."

Forsi didn't say anything yet, but Hobert asked first: "If you sign a contract with your company, how many copies does your company plan to print?"

"Three thousand copies." Mr. Gordon smiled and said, "Without Mr. Dolphus's advice, we would only print a thousand copies at most, because the town of Jeffrey in this book is really not well-known.

"Mr. Hobert, to be honest, if it was two months ago, we would have printed more, but now, people's attention to you has dropped sharply."

Hobert offered no explanation, but simply asked, "If we were to self-publish, how much would we pay for a book?"

Mr. Gordon was slightly taken aback before saying, "It depends on what kind of material you use."

"Upper middle class."

"A book costs about 1 silver cord."

Hobert simply said: "Then we will publish it at our own expense."

Of course Gordon would not refuse: "Excuse me, how many thousand copies do you want to publish?"

"Sixty thousand copies!"

"Six..." Gordon thought he had heard it wrong: "Mr. Hobert, didn't I just explain it in detail enough?"

Fors also tugged at the corner of Hobart's clothes, indicating that Hobart had printed too much.

However, Hobert winked at Fors, expressing that he knew what he was thinking: "I will pay for it, you print the book, don't ask me anything else, is that okay?"

Gordon opened his mouth several times before saying, "Of course."

Leaving Forsi behind to sign the contract, Hobert "went to the bank" and quickly got 6000 gold in cash.

Before noon, the contract had been signed. Hobert paid an extra 500 gold lisos and asked Mr. Gordon to print the book before the 28th and send it to bookstores across the country.

In this cooperation, Hobert is the sponsor, and his demands will of course be met as much as possible.

After leaving the publishing house, Forsi said: "This is the first time I spend money at the publishing house."

Hobert laughed and said, "This is not spending money, this is investment, or publicity."

He took a deep breath: "Since we're here in Feneport City, let's go shopping and spend some money by the way."

All the money I earned before was spent on the construction of the territory, and I should spend it in other places appropriately, otherwise I will almost lose my motivation to make money.

In Feneport City, there is nothing more than eating and shopping for clothes.

Although Hobert is also an aristocrat, he doesn't have the consciousness of being an aristocrat at all, and Forsi doesn't like luxury goods very much, so the two of them basically buy things in the department store that the middle class likes to go to most.

After shopping for half a day, he only spent 16 gold lisuo, which made Hobert feel that he was really floating now. This is equivalent to twelve or three pounds in cash, and there is no psychological pressure at all to spend it now.

On the way back, Fors sighed: "In the Extraordinary World, spending a few hundred pounds at a time doesn't feel like much, but in daily life, just spending a few pounds feels like spending a huge sum of money. "

Hobert smiled and said: "So, the real world and the extraordinary world are basically like two worlds!"

After returning to the territory, the two of them were busy with their own affairs. Hobert continued to prepare for the wedding and entertain the distinguished guests, while Fors returned to Backlund and once again entered the circus to play the role of "Master of Magic".

But now Forsi also has a sense of participation in this wedding, and will also participate in the preparations.

Some of the inadvertent actions of the two people are also more intimate than before.

On Sunday morning, Hobert received the first batch of invitations, which he eagerly wrote and took to his room.

Then, he entered the "land of disorder", spreading spirituality to the stars of Ethel.

……

Feneport City.

Wearing a tunic court dress that can show off her good figure, Ethel, who is participating in a very boring event, is smiling, as if she is very interested in this event.

Suddenly, her eyes were filled with black sacred light, and Ethel saw the solid figure sitting on the throne in the center of the sword again.

Ethel almost said too much: The creator!
I just heard the "creator" say in a solemn voice: "At eight o'clock tonight, one of my loved ones will come to you."

Hobert didn't explain much and immediately broke off contact.

Ethel was slightly taken aback, seeing that there was nothing unusual about the people around him: Only I could see the figure of the "creator" just now!
Then she resumed her smile, and regained her graceful yet somewhat tough temperament just now.

This temperament is unique in the Fenepot royal family, because although she is a female member of the royal family, she has actually been on the battlefield, not just going to the northern theater to spend gold.

She quietly asked her adjutant: "Any plans for the evening?"

This is the only one with adjutants around, because Ethel really can't understand the dilly-dallying style of those housekeepers.

The adjutant said: "Count Ralph is holding a banquet tonight..."

Ethel raised her hand and interrupted: "Push it away for me, just say that I suddenly have something urgent to deal with."

"Yes!"

Ethel still pays more attention to the favored ones of the "creator". She came to a manor on the outskirts of Feneport on purpose. This place is not as heavily guarded as the palace, and there is no protection of level 0 sealed items.

The key is that the people here are absolutely loyal to Ethel, even if they accidentally capture the Beloved, it doesn't matter.

The information given by the "creator" was too vague, and Ethel could only try to make this meeting as accident-free as possible.

At 7:58, Ethel, who was waiting alone in the spacious living room, found that the space in front of her had become illusory.

It’s “travel”!Ethel immediately made a judgment, and with some caution saw a man wearing a black crystal mask and a noble cloak coming out of the spirit world.

The two looked at each other, but for Al, it was almost impossible to see any information from Hobert.

For Hobert, the Ethel in front of him looked similar to the one he saw in the "Land of Disorder". She was about 24 or [-] years old, with a good face and some freckles on her face.

After meeting her, her heroic aura became more and more obvious, and there was still an undeniable aura vaguely, which still made Hobert feel like "the netizen is rushing to show".

Hobert broke the silence first: "Princess Ethel, hello!"

Ethel was not surprised at all that the other party knew her identity: "Hello, Blessed One!"

Hobert smiled and said, "I came to you to seek your help."

"'Founder' asked you to come?"

As if he was suddenly given a shot of blood, Hobert hit his heart with one hand and his back with the other, raising both arms at an angle of about 45 degrees: "Praise the founder!"

Ethel took a moment to realize that this should be a gesture of praise for the "creator".

Then Hobert said seriously: "Of course the great 'creator' will not care about such trivial matters. The benevolent 'creator' only guided me in the direction of solving the problem."

How to use the trumpet and the tuba to sing the oboe, Hobert basically learned from Klein.

Hobert's performance made Ethel put away her arrogance and became serious without realizing it: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Yes, I invite you to attend my wedding." Hobert handed over the invitation he had prepared long ago.

After Hobert repeatedly weighed and weighed in the past few days, this invitation is not too dangerous. After the battle in the Southern Continent, the "Founder" is no longer unknown.Besides, Ethel has seen the strength of the "creator".

Hobert thinks: Even with Ethel, it doesn't matter if he reveals his identity as the favored person of the "creator". Before he has enough confidence, Ethel will definitely not hurt himself, and at most he will only do some investigations .And Hobert can beat Ethel at any time in the "land of disorder", so there is no need to worry too much about her leaking the secret.

This request completely exceeded Ethel's expectations: "Attend the wedding?"

She opened the invitation and saw Hobert's name. After a brief surprise, she immediately realized that Hobert would use his identity to expand the influence of this wedding.
