Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 502: The Tarot Club after half a month’s absence
Returning to the Kingdom of Feneport, on the west bank of Full Moon Lake, Hobert dedicated the proceeds from this operation to the "Country of Disorder".

He couldn't wait to take a look at the black glove first. Using the status of the "State of Disorder", he discovered the specialness of the glove:

The extraordinary characteristics that formed this glove have been extremely distorted. In the glove, the extraordinary characteristics of "Law Mage" are not completely complete. It is actually twisted together with the extraordinary characteristics of "Chaos Master", forming a very special thing. Strange sealed object.

In other words, it is the extraordinary characteristics of the "Chaos Tutor" that have been providing "distorted" power to the extraordinary characteristics of the "Law Master", and this sealed object has reached an inexplicable balance.

In addition, the spirit and mental imprint of the "law mage" who provided the sealed object with extraordinary characteristics still partially remains in the extraordinary characteristics.

So the ability of this glove is: "Within the specified time, the holder can control the spiritual residue in the sealed object and use all the abilities of the 'Law Master'! The use time and interval are: 3 minutes of use, 2 minutes of rest, Then you can use it for another 2 minutes, but you have to rest for 3 minutes, and then you can use it for another 1 minute, and then you have to rest for more than three hours before you can continue to use it. If you end the use process halfway, you need to rest for two hours before restarting the timer. If it is used again within the two-hour period, the previous timing will continue.”

Relatively speaking, the negative effects are not very big: "Every time this sealed object is used, the holder will fall into a state of 'chaos' at least three times in the next day. The holder needs to have a strong will and must always When fighting against a spirit body with extraordinary characteristics, if you relax even a little bit, you will be affected by the other party, and even the holder's spirit body will be irreversibly damaged."

Hobert sighed: A very good level 1 sealed artifact, "1-107", this will be your name from now on.

As for the other two sealed objects, they are both level 2. The necklace on Bennett is the sealed object that gives him the ability to "travel".

This sealed object only has the ability to "travel" and "open doors", but its negative effects are greater than the "Traveler's Knife" in Hobert's hand: "The holder is easy to get lost when entering the spiritual world, and will always Being late, or just one step too late, at the critical moment.”

This "negative effect" doesn't seem to cause much harm, but in fact sometimes it can be very dangerous. For example, that dear friend (Bennet)'s letter for help was just a step too late.

The remaining sealed artifact possessed some of the abilities of the "Corrupted Baron". Hobert habitually sealed them and placed them next to the level 2 sealed artifact.

Finally comes the most exciting moment to check out the extraordinary features.

This time, a total of 8 extraordinary characteristics were obtained, all of which are in high demand for Hobert. Among them, for the "Punishing Knight" extraordinary characteristics, Hobert has already thought of two uses.

There are also 4 extraordinary characteristics at the 6th level of the sequence, namely 2 "Corrupted Barons", 1 "Judge", and 1 "Recorder".

There are two extraordinary characteristics at the seventh level of the sequence, one is the "briber" and the other is the "interrogator".

There are two extraordinary characteristics at the 2th level of the sequence, one is "Barbarian" and the other is "Master of Tricks".

For Hobert, he can use as many of the extraordinary characteristics of the "lawyer" path as he has. Every time he uses the extraordinary characteristics of this path, the Balk family becomes stronger.

Hobert's roots in the Southern Continent are even deeper.

The extraordinary characteristics of the other two paths need to be used for the promotion of members of the first and second teams.

After putting away the gains from this battle, Hobert returned to the real world to rest.

In order to prevent another assassination like Bennett, and to prevent being targeted by the Tamara family, Hobert simply kept "1-106" on him.

When he lay down to rest, Hobert thought about his ability to "perceive malice".

Although this ability gives people a lot of sense of security, it can easily make people suspicious.

Just like before Bennet appeared, Hobert always thought that George III was going to harm him. As a result, he even planned to run away at night.

Therefore, "malicious perception" cannot distinguish where the malicious intent comes from, it can only distinguish the malicious intent with a high degree of danger.

After thinking about it, Hobert fell into a deep sleep. The previous "outbreak" consumed a lot of his spiritual energy.

In the next few days, Hobert stayed on the west bank, converting the people in the wilderness and setting harvest targets for each village and town. Hobert felt that his potion was being digested intermittently. Quite a few.

So Hobert set his sights on the east coast, and if he continued to change the original way of governance as he did now and suddenly had drastic changes in people's lives, he probably wouldn't need to unify the South Colson area before he could completely digest the magic potion.

This made Hobert sigh: The digestion of potions through the "Black Emperor" pathway is indeed inseparable from "ruling".

During this period, Hobert also completed a transaction with the "Hermit" Cattleya for the Atlantean orchid. After drying according to the method provided by Cattleya, the required powder can be obtained.

Then the only auxiliary materials for "The Fallen Earl" are the "brains of six-legged monsters" and a bottle of ten-year-old wine.

On Sunday night, Hobert went to Backlund again and completed the deal with Miss Sharon.

When he saw the 15 pounds in cash, Hobert was sure that the economic strength of the temperance faction was so strong!

Through this transaction, the two people established initial mutual trust, which provided good conditions for subsequent transactions.

After receiving 15 pounds, Hobert felt richer than ever before, but he also thought about building an industrial zone and building bridges and railways. This made Hobert lament that it would be really expensive for one person to run the entire territory. !
But since he has such conditions, he is still willing to invest alone. First of all, he will not be controlled by others, and it must be said that this is a good way of laundering money.

Now the territory has begun to generate considerable profits. In the future, when the territory is completely constructed, there will be long-term benefits. Sooner or later, the money will be doubled.

After sacrificing 15 pounds to the "country of disorder", Hobert was smiling even in his dreams.

Fast forward to Monday afternoon, and Hobert excuses himself from taking a nap, asking no one to disturb him.

I was not able to attend the Tarot meeting last week, so I was a little excited when I attended the Tarot meeting again.

At three o'clock sharp, Hobert's vision was covered by gray fog, and he came to the familiar Giant Hall again.

After everyone saw the "Emperor" again, "The Fool" Klein, who knew the inside story, certainly didn't take it too seriously, and "The Hanged Man" Alger didn't take it too seriously either. He knew that nothing unexpected would happen to the Emperor.

"Justice" Audrey, who also knew the inside story, just smiled and said during the greeting: "Welcome back, Mr. Emperor."

Derrick "The Sun" encountered new troubles this time. At the same time, he also wanted to ask Mr. Emperor why he did not attend the meeting last week, but now was not the time to discuss this issue. He could only ask again when he had the opportunity.

"Magician" Forsi seemed to suddenly breathe a sigh of relief. She felt that the reason for this sigh of relief may be because she was finally able to trade high-level information.

"Moon" Emlyn smiled slightly, and after a while, he could finally discuss the history of the Fourth Age with Mr. "Emperor". This would definitely make everyone realize the knowledge of the Vampire Clan!

"Hermit" Cattleya was examining the "Emperor". She was very curious about the "Emperor"'s absence last week, but she felt that she didn't know the "Emperor" very well, so it was difficult to ask too clearly.

After Audrey said hello, this tarot session officially began.

The first is the sacrifice diary and Mr. Fool’s reading time.

After a few minutes, Mr. Fool said: "You can start."

This time Derrick "The Sun" encountered a new problem. He said before everyone else: "Elder Lovia was released and I met her in the library."

Several members who knew who Elder Lovia was mentioned by "Little Sun" were stunned. The exploration team she led was out of control. There must be something wrong with her herself. How could the six-member council of Silver City release her? Already?
The newly joined Cattleya didn't know what they were talking about, but she didn't ask questions and just listened quietly.

After saying this, Derrick looked at the Hanged Man aside.

Alger thought for a while and asked: "During the last gathering, you said that the chief of Silver City conducted a preliminary exploration of the Giant King's Court, and before releasing Elder Lovia, our chief had returned to Silver City?"

Audrey's expression remained unchanged, but she was thinking in her heart: Why did Mr. Hanged Man suddenly ask about this matter... Yes, to release such an important person, there is no way that the other members of the six-person council would wait for the chief to come back!So is Lovia's release related to the chief's exploration results?Hey, why didn't I think of this just now?
Derrick was quite surprised by Mr. Hanged Man's accurate guess: "Well, not long ago."

At this time, Forsi, who was quietly listening, suddenly had an idea based on the information he had learned before: "Mr. Sun, could this be the case?
"Your chief took the exploration team and the little boy Jack to find the road that could lead to the outside world. It turned out that we must use the power of the 'True Creator'.

"Haha, this is not a lie made up by me, but a reasoning based on the facts. That little man Jack's father belongs to the 'Aurora Society', and they are looking for the sanctuary of the 'True Creator' to come to you.

"So, for the sake of the entire Silver City, after your chief returned, he decided to release Shepherd Lovia."

"If this is the case, Mr. Sun will be very dangerous next." Audrey said worriedly.

Hobert smiled and said: "No, on the contrary, I think he will be safer. Even if he shows something obviously suspicious, the chief will turn a blind eye. And the more suspicious the 'sun' is, the more relieved the chief will be."

Audrey was stunned and looked at the "Emperor" with Forsi.

Derrick simply asked: "Why?"

Klein has also understood: very simple, for balance!

The person who answered the question from "The Sun" was "The Hanged Man" Alger: "My guess is the same as Mr. Emperor's. The danger of the 'True Creator' can be detected by any intelligent creature with eyes and brains.

"Your chief will never put all his chips on Him, he will definitely seek a power that can check and balance the 'True Creator'.

"And to expose their conspiracy, you who were possessed by 'The Blasphemer' Amon may represent another possibility.

"That's why the 'Emperor' said that the more suspicious you look, the more relieved your chief feels." In addition, the more Lovia and the others want to harm you, the more the chief and other elders will protect you. "

Forsi was a little stunned when he heard this: Is this a good thing?

Audrey felt a little frustrated: What Mr. Hanged Man said makes sense. There is still a big gap between them and me in analyzing things and situations!
After "Little Sun" thanked Mr. Hanged Man, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked in an obviously relaxed tone: "Mr. Emperor, why didn't you attend the party last time? Did you encounter something urgent?"

"Yes, I couldn't attend the party at that time." Hobert answered the question vaguely, and then continued: "If that's the case, we can make a second transaction. I still have an extraordinary weapon there. "

In fact, there were two more, but he didn't plan to take action on that dagger for the time being.

The reason why it plans to initiate a new transaction is because the auction center has sold 6 pieces of extraordinary materials through daily transactions in the past half month.

The "weapons for materials" trading model that Hobert had previously established has taken shape, and the current monthly output of extraordinary weapons is three to four.

With this output, it is simply impossible to make all the extraordinary materials into extraordinary weapons, so if there is a chance to sell it, Hobert will cash it in without hesitation.

After all, a sequence 8-level extraordinary characteristic can be sold for about 400 gold riso, and the income from 6 pieces of extraordinary materials is enough to pay the workers once.

At the same time, the party held by Hobert after the auction has basically taken shape, and has also attracted some extraordinary forces like April, or wild extraordinary people.

They will sell some extraordinary items, and they will also buy some.

Hobert has all the information about their buying and selling. He can purchase items that others need, add a certain price difference, and then sell them to those in need.

Hobert left the processing of this information to Fors, and he himself only appeared at the auction and hosted the extraordinary party after the auction.

What Hobert wants to sell to Derrick is the extraordinary weapon made from one of the main materials of the "Beast Tamer".

He introduced: "This weapon has two abilities. The first ability is to be sharper when cutting the enemy's flesh and blood, and there is a very small probability. Even if it does not directly cut the enemy, it can still cause a lot of damage to the enemy. harm.

"The second ability is that when facing non-human opponents such as beasts and monsters, the holder can show a certain aura that makes the beasts or monsters fearful, and has a very small probability of making the beasts or monsters give up resistance. "

Derrick's eyes lit up. This weapon is very suitable for use when facing monsters!

Hobert continued: "I have to explain here that the probability of extraordinary weapons is difficult to control. It does not mean that you will definitely get the ability of probability after 99 swings.

"The probabilistic ability may be used with the second wave, or the probabilistic ability may be triggered at any subsequent time, so there is no way to make the probabilistic ability controllable through prior preparation. .

"In addition, these abilities belong to the 'low-sequence' level and will be very useful for 'low-sequence' targets and monsters.

"It does have good effects when encountering 'mid-sequence' enemies, but extraordinary people at the 'mid-sequence' level usually have corresponding means to avoid such attacks."

"Little Sun" said: "Mr. Emperor, I know all this."

Hobert smiled: "Well, I'm just explaining it in case you don't understand anything."

In fact, he told the other members that the extraordinary weapons in his hands cannot only be sold at auctions, as that would have an impact on the scarcity of the goods.

Then the Tarot Society is another good dumping ground. After all, the members each have their own circles.

After finalizing the deal, Hobert added: "I need the brains of a six-legged monster."

"Hermit" Cattleya said: "I asked the previous seller for you, and the brain in his hand was bought by everyone."

Hobert said "Oh" with some disappointment. He didn't expect this auxiliary material to be so difficult to find.

No one else helped the "Emperor" find any corresponding clues.

After the deal fell through, Alger continued: "I need the magic potion formula of 'Ocean Singer'."

He has saved a lot of money and thinks he should have enough financial resources to buy a potion formula of this level.

Cattleya was a little surprised: "The Hanged Man" is indeed a "Wind Blessed". Isn't he a member of the Church of Storm?Why seek the magic potion formula of "Ocean Singer" from outside?The difficulty of obtaining the formula from within the church is much lower than this. Does he have a secret that he wants to hide from the church?Or was he just pretending to be a member of the Church of Storms?
She said: "I can help you keep an eye on it."

Seeing Cattleya's response, Alger asked: "Ms. Hermit, what do you need as reward? I can collect clues in advance."

"Hermit" Cattleya immediately realized that this was a test by "The Hanged Man", and many clues about her could be revealed if needed.

So she said: "I need a semi-god-level magical item with relatively acceptable negative effects."

Alger understood that the "hermit" was responding to his temptation in a sarcastic way, but instead of smashing the table in front of him like most of his colleagues, he took a breath and said, "I will pay attention to it." .

"But Ms. Hermit, you should know very well that just valid clues about such items may be worth the potion formula of 'Ocean Singer'."

This made Cattleya question her previous judgment: It is very deep and not easily angry. This is different from the style of the Church of Storms. Could it be that my first observation was wrong?
Hobert smiled on the side. Unexpectedly, it was already the third week, and the probing of these two old fritters continued: "Mr. Hanged Man, I will also help you pay attention. What I want is much simpler. :Gold pounds!”

Alger smiled slightly and showed enough kindness: "Thank you, if you can help me find out the formula of the potion, just ask for the price."

"Okay." Hobert said to Cattleya: "Ms. Hermit, although I don't have a level 1 sealed object in my hand..."

To be precise, there aren't many. There are only 7 pieces at the moment. Hahaha, Hobert smiled unkindly inwardly.

He continued: "But I know clues to two or three such sealed objects. If necessary, I can help you find out."

Klein, who was at the top of the long bronze table, glanced at the "Poseidon Scepter" in the corner: Two or three pieces? The "creator" is very rich!Ahem, or is the "Fool" too poor?

Audrey observed the body language of the three people and suddenly understood something: This is the first time I have seen this method used to ease the atmosphere.

The other members were still a little confused and didn't quite understand the mutual testing between the "hermit" and the "hanged man" just now.

After Cattleya heard the words of the "Emperor", she was slightly startled and said: "It is best to have a strong attack effect that can quickly defeat the enemy."

Hobert nodded and promised again: "I can help you find out."

He thought for a while and found that both "1-101" and "1-105" were more suitable for Cattleya's needs, but they had great negative effects and needed to be re-sealed before they could be used.

This trial ended here. "Moon" Emlyn cleared his throat and said: "Mr. Emperor, I only found out last week by reading some vampire information..."

Hobert has already drawn the key points in his mind: by reading some vampire information!

"...It turns out that the Trunsoest Empire was the strongest back then!" Emlyn smiled: "Not only was it the strongest, but the key was that the Night Emperor also had a beautiful and dignified queen!

"Yes, that is Lord Olnia, the 'Beauty God' of our blood clan. In addition, the royal families and royal families of the four countries in the northern continent are also the great nobles of Trunsoest.

"It is precisely with so many powerful helpers that the Night Emperor achieved victory in the early stages of the 'War of the Four Emperors', right?"

As expected, Emlyn felt everyone's attention, and he knew that the information he told must be unknown to everyone.

This made him raise his chin unconsciously.

"You are right," Hobert smiled: "But there is a more important reason why the Night Emperor was able to achieve early victory."

Audrey clenched her fist and said simply: "Mr. Emperor, I want to trade information about the Trunsoest Empire with you."

Hobert smiled and said: "No problem, I have already made a price before, I can give you a discount of 1000 pounds, which is considered as the previous medical fee owed."

Last week, Audrey provided him with a good idea, which made the minds of more than 1 lunatics controllable. It was worth the price no matter what.

Audrey smiled and said: "Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Emperor.

"In addition to Mr. Emperor's discount, I am also willing to pay another 1000 pounds for this. Who is willing to join the transaction?"

Emlyn opened his mouth: We haven't finished discussing it yet!I also know... well, I'd also like to know another reason why the Night King is so successful early on.

He said happily: "I am willing to pay 500 pounds to join!"
