Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 574: Doesn’t your Time Insect want money?

At this afternoon tea party, Hobert invited several nobles with good connections, such as Earl Hall, Gray Lint, and Lord Bradley, and told them that he planned to sell 20% of the shares of "Earl's Light". The selling price is 80 pounds!

You can invite friends to Earl's Mansion tomorrow to buy.

The nobles had no intention of counter-offering. They knew that Hobert was not short of money now and had just settled the matter on Longtail Island.

He sold his shares at this time to take advantage of this opportunity to establish a solid interest group to hedge risks.

For nobles, the price of 80 pounds is not high. After all, it costs 100 million pounds to buy a baronetcy.

Earl Hall subscribed for 5% of the shares alone. This was only after considering the feelings of other nobles. Otherwise, he would definitely buy the 20% of the shares alone.

Earl Hall had already realized before that Hobert's improvements to electric lights might lead to a redistribution of wealth throughout Loen.

But he didn't expect that the redistribution process would be so fast!
After the afternoon tea, Hobert saw that it was only around four o'clock in the afternoon, so he went to Longtail Island for a walk.

At this time, the Governor's Palace on Longwei Island had completely controlled the western plains. First, it basically divided villages and towns based on the former rubber plantations.

After the former small towns and natural villages were merged or re-divided, they all sent town mayors, town government officials and village chiefs, establishing a very effective bureaucracy.

In addition, Conrad temporarily transferred many people from the South Colson area, as well as the second batch of Backlund noble children who had just completed the assessment, to register land and assets.

To the Loen people of Longwei Island, the island has become chaotic and completely lacks the order that a colony should have.

The local indigenous people also felt some changes. First, a person from the northern continent lived in the village and could simply communicate with everyone in some local languages.

The first thing he did was not to rob things or women, but to teach everyone how to farm and brought many advanced agricultural tools from the Northern Continent, which can be used for free.

Production at the iron ore and copper mines was temporarily suspended, and the miners who obtained resident status began to build a large number of brick houses, forming natural villages based on the iron or copper mines.

They will then widen and strengthen the mine tunnel and equip it with state-of-the-art water pumps before starting to dig out the ore again.

The ore that Hobert had collected for 16000 pounds was enough to last for a while.

The transformation of Longwei Island is proceeding in an orderly manner. Because it has not yet reached the stage of dividing the land and forcing the local indigenous people to live a modern life, Hobert cannot feel the digestion of the magic medicine for the time being.

After having dinner with Fors in the evening, Hobert returned to Backlund and met Klein on the banks of the Tasok River, where the two met last time.

There was no greeting. As soon as they met Klein, he said, "I plan to take action in three days, that is, on Saturday night. You should be prepared."

Hobert nodded: "No problem."

"In addition, there is an opportunity to get good luck. Let those who hope to get good luck attend the dance held by me tomorrow." Klein took out two invitations: "There are only two places."

Because the "Snake of Destiny" Will Asceptin, who is being restarted, only got two "worms of time".

Klein said: "Tell those two people to find an opportunity to chat with Dr. Allen's wife. It's best to help her, such as handing her an ice cream."

Hobert put away the invitation and said again: "No problem."

He took out a box made of "Order Crystal": "This is my preparation for the action in three days."

Klein opened the box and took a look. Inside, there were six "worms of time" as thick as a thumb: "You, you..."

Doesn't your "Insect of Time" cost money?Another six?

Hobert smiled slightly: "Please help me pray to Mr. Fool to make these six 'worms of time' into talismans, four for me and two for you.

"If those high-level talismans are not used in this operation, those two talismans will belong to you."

Originally, Hobert planned to pray for the Fool's power and make a talisman, but he suddenly found that he had no idea about making talismans. He didn't know what metal to use or what symbols to carve.

He thought that Klein had done a lot of research on this, so he simply let Klein make it.

Klein closed the box: "Leave it to me."

This will be the greatest confidence for sneak operations.

Hobert also warned: "Remember to return the box to me."

That is a box composed of "order crystals".

After talking about the business, the two of them chatted a little more about the sales situation of the light bulbs, and then left each other with "travel".

The next day, Hobert still didn't go to work. Another twenty or thirty nobles came to the Earl's Mansion and snatched up the 20% shares.

Hobert gave another 2% of the shares to Christine, and 1.5% each to the Queen and Alice.

Christine sent someone to send 8 pounds in cash, and Hobert left 1 pounds in a symbolic way. Hobert called Selina to send the other money back to Christine.

But after the servant went to look for it, he found out that Selina had taken leave the day before yesterday and went back to attend her brother's wedding.

Hobert had hardly been in the Earl's Mansion these days, so he didn't know about it. He didn't take it seriously and asked Dophis to pay back the money.

At this point, Hobert's community of interests has been established. He still holds 55% of the shares, and has absolute control over the development of "Earl's Light"!

This will avoid many risks encountered by "Earl's Light". As for this allowing Hobert to completely integrate into the aristocratic circle, that is just a matter of course.

At this time, Hobert's capital had reached several million pounds, enough for him to implement further expansion plans.

In fact, Hobert's actions had already begun at the same time that the electric light was on sale. First, he bought a small factory, transformed it into a school, and established the Backlund Electrician School to solve the current serious shortage of electricians.

Then they rented three large factories again, recruiting homeless people in large numbers to produce wires, batteries, poles, cross arms, porcelain pots and other supporting facilities.

At the same time, a medium-sized factory was leased, a large number of carriages and horses were purchased, a distribution organization was established, and a service center for door-to-door battery replacement was established.

The biggest investment was to buy two large pieces of land in the suburbs and quickly start building the second batch of large power plants.

This is the end of the construction of supporting facilities in Backlund. The rest can only be done after the corresponding technicians are trained, and the wires can be pulled all over the streets and alleys of Backlund little by little, so that this era can be left to Hobert. mark.

Now Hobert has sent people to buy land in Port Price, not far from Backlund, to build a power plant, lay wires, and provide electric lighting services.

In East Chester County and Port Enmat, Todd has also sent people to investigate according to Hobert's instructions, and is preparing to use the massive funds now at hand to first lay out the framework for electric light services.

As for the large cities in the north such as Jianhai County and Constantinople, although there are also a large number of potential customers, Hobert has no intention of developing there for the time being.

Because that was the place where the war would be fiercest. Even if the power plant was built, it would not be enough for them.

Now at the "Earl's Light" light bulb factory, Hobert only provides a general direction, and the specific affairs are left to Todd to manage.

Hobert also extended an invitation to Upton to serve as the deputy general manager of "Earl's Light".

After all, Todd is still young, and he has suddenly become a hot one from being unknown before. Hobert is afraid that he will not be able to withstand some temptations and relax his strict requirements on himself.

At the same time, Hobert also hopes to use the connections Upton has accumulated to develop a series of basic industries on Longtail Island.

For the construction of Longtail Island, Hobert did not use the money from "Earl's Light", but an account from a group of financial personnel headed by Fors and Philip.

Even without the money from "Earl's Light", Hobert still has a deposit of 20 pounds, which is enough to build Longtail Island into a medium-sized and complete industrial base.

Hobert's long-term plan is to use Longtail Island as a springboard and take advantage of the subsequent war to seek opportunities for nation-building in the southern continent.

By then the Northern Continent will be reduced to a mess, especially the fall of the industrial town of Constant, which will cause Loen to lose a large amount of its industrial production capacity.

In the later stages of the war, Backlund also became panicked. If Hobert had industrial needs during the founding of the country, he might not be able to get enough industrial products from Loen.

So it is better to "make enough food and clothing by yourself".

Moreover, labor and raw materials on Longwei Island are very cheap, and the construction costs are actually not high. These construction projects can also bring a large number of employment opportunities and create wealth for the indigenous people of Longwei Island.

……

On Thursday morning, Hobert finally returned to work at MI[-], but as soon as he got to work, he started to fish.

Hobert first went to the South Colson area and obtained the "Animal Tamer" potion formula from Bishop Simpson. Then he returned to Backlund and gave the formula to Viscount Gray Lint.

In the past month or so, Gray Lint introduced three groups of Backlund noble children to Hobert. For now, these noble children are enough.

This has greatly alleviated the recent shortage of manpower, but if it continues, this group may be difficult to control in the future.

Now that Gray Lint has basically completed the task assigned by Hobert, let him follow the previous agreement and give him the "Animal Tamer" potion formula and extraordinary properties.

In the past period of time, in addition to establishing a mature immigration mechanism, Hobert also established a new training mechanism to recruit people who can read and write from the East End of Backlund and homeless people, and conduct basic training and evacuation Go to the grassroots level to experience.

Compared with the residents of the East End, there are a large number of homeless people who have gone to grammar school, and they are all broke middle-class people.

It's just that although the quality of these people is uneven and difficult to manage, this mechanism can almost completely solve the problem of shortage of manpower in the future.

And these people also need this job very much. Although the salary is not high, it includes food and accommodation. Such jobs are almost non-existent in Backlund.

This is why every time the "Earl's Light" light bulb factory recruits, there are so many people trying to get in, because food and accommodation are included.

For the poor, this can save more than 90% of the expenses, and even for ordinary workers, it can save about 60% of the expenses.

At first, many rich men laughed privately at Hobert for giving him such good treatment, but soon they could no longer laugh because the workers in their factory also demanded such treatment.

Even without such requirements, work motivation becomes low.

Under Hobert's care, Viscount Graylint completed his promotion.

At the same time, he once again mentioned the matter that he had entrusted to Hobert before, asking him to go to Count Vincent to steal his father's ring.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, this time Gray Lint told Hobert that the opening spell of the ring was read in the ancient Fusac language: Summer in Winter County.

The reward is still a Level 2 Sealed Artifact, which is also the most valuable reward that Viscount Gray Lint can offer.

Hobert promised to keep an eye on this matter for him, and if it was easy for him to get it, he would take it, but if he had to take some risks, then there was no need.

After leaving Viscount Gray Lint, Hobert returned to his mansion and happened to meet Selina who had returned from Tingen City.

"Is your brother's wedding over?" Hobert asked casually.

"It's over." Selena smiled slightly: "They may have a baby in a month or two! I have to save money quickly to buy gifts for the baby."

Hobert smiled and said: "Just in time, you go do something for me, and I will give you a reward when you come back."

Selina nodded repeatedly: "You say."

"Elizabeth has successfully been admitted to Backlund University. Please help me choose some gifts to thank Lord Atwood." Hobert said: "Behave solemnly and apologize to him. Because I am busy with official duties, I have no choice but to Please go and say thank you.”

After the "Earl's Light" light bulb became famous in one fell swoop, Hobert's status rapidly improved among the nobility. For a lord who is now the Minister of Education, it is perfectly possible to send a butler to visit and thank him.

Selina was stunned: "Is it that simple?"

Only then did she realize that the teacher wanted to give her a reward on purpose: "Thank you, teacher."

Hobert smiled slightly: "Go ahead."

In the blink of an eye, at night, Hobert was about to go to Longtail Island to meet Forsi for dinner and "dance", but Forsi made a rare visit to the Earl's Mansion in Backlund.

Also coming with her was Xio.

Hobert smiled: "We haven't gotten together for a long time. Let's go to Longtail Island to taste local fruits, or go to Jeffrey City for an authentic Fenebote style meal?"

But Forsi whispered solemnly: "Xio has found Lewis."

Hobert thought about it for a moment before remembering that this Louis was a traitor to the Abraham family and now the envoy of the Aurora Society.

He took Forsi and Xio to the study and talked about the matter in detail.

Xiu said: "You should still remember Mr. A's party, yes, it was that Mr. A.

"It is said that he was involved in the Backlund Smog Incident and disappeared during that incident, and the party was stopped.

"This party has been held again recently, and now the host of the party is Mr.

"After several observations, I found that Mr. X should be the Louis Forsi has been looking for."

Hobert nodded and asked, "When will the next meeting be held?"

"Tomorrow night," replied Hugh.

Hobert said "Yeah": "Tell me the address and password of the party, and I will kill him tomorrow night."

Xio reminded: "Let me investigate again. Mr. X seems to have many helpers around him."

"That's perfect." Hobert smiled: "This will make my trophies even richer."

Then he smiled and said: "Don't worry, I used the resources of MI[-] to also investigate Lewis. Although I didn't get much information, I am confident that I can kill him."

In fact, it is just a Sequence 5, and Hobert can easily kill the opponent now.

Xio nodded: "As long as you know what's going on."

Then she smiled and said: "It's true that we haven't been together for a long time, but I have a mission tonight and I have to keep an eye on him."

After telling Hobert the address and password, Hugh left in a hurry.

Forsi watched Xio walk away before saying, "Xio is still so busy."

She felt a little sorry for her good friend: "How can we help her?"

"You should pay her more for this task." Hobert said.

Forsi said: "That's for sure."

"I talked to Xio's boss in MI[-] and asked him to give Xio some higher-paying and safer tasks." Hobert said: "But it can only be like this. With Xio's character and too obvious help, She won’t accept it.”

Forsi sighed: "I once invited her to help on Longtail Island, but she refused."

"This method is not good, I... Ouch?"

Forsi was startled by Hobert's sudden "ouch": "What's wrong?"

"I, I thought I had to take action in advance for tomorrow's party," Hobert said with a smile, "otherwise Hugh might be suspected if he didn't go to the party."

In fact, it suddenly occurred to him that Forsi seemed to be asking Xio to help find the main information of the "Recorder". The two of them encountered an accident, and then Xio joined the Tarot Club and started his cheating life.

But the problem now is that Hobert has prepared the extraordinary characteristics for Forsi to be promoted to "Record Officer", so they will not encounter such danger at all!
So how should Hugh join the Tarot Club?How to cheat?
But of course, Forsi cannot be told these questions.

Until dinner, Hobert and Forsi were still discussing this issue.

They used to be very good friends, and now Hobert and Forsi have lived a very good life. There is no reason for the former good friends to stay up early and work late at night.

Hobert thought of a way: "Come to Backlund more these days, and when you are chatting, tell Xio about the pirates on Long Tail Island and the evil cultists.

"And tell her about the current shortage of official Beyonders in the Governor's Mansion, and that we will march into the mountainous area next and touch the interests of the Mountain God Church.

“After a few days of preparation, you asked her to protect your safety and give her a higher salary.

"If she wants to develop her career in Longtail Island, give her some support."

Forsi nodded: "This is a good idea."

First of all, what Hobert said is basically the truth. There is indeed the Church of the Mountain God on Longwei Island, and there are worries about pirates outside, and the extraordinary power is currently insufficient.

However, Hobert is already trying his best to solve this problem. Archibald just brought artillery to Longwei Island last week, which not only greatly supplemented the coastal defense strength of Longwei Island, but also brought a group of military extraordinary people.

Schier is now an "arsonist" and many officers are already "fighters", "provocateurs" or "angry people".

If ordinary pirates attack, they can take care of them.

Of course, the most important thing is that Archibald is now on Long Tail Island. It is an extraordinary creature at the demigod level. There are currently three Sequence 5 Marionettes. Even if the "Pirate General" comes, he will never return.With it and Angus on Longtail Island, even if the Beyonders of the Mountain God Church launched an attack on the Governor's Mansion, they would not need the support of Hobert.

Moreover, soon after the agrarian revolution, Hobert was preparing to start conscription on Longtail Island.

Within half a year at most, Hobert would be sure to completely squeeze out the living space of the Mountain God Church.

You don't need to tell Xio this. Let her take a look at Longwei Island and feel the prosperous atmosphere. Maybe she will like it there.

But soon, Forsi realized that this idea seemed a bit naive.

Forsi said: "Xio's purpose is to investigate the cause of her father's death and restore the glory of the family. Before this purpose is completed, she may not leave Backlund for a long time."

Hobert said "Yeah", as if this goal can be achieved in the second half of this year: "About this, I will help her conduct some investigations, hoping to untie her knot as soon as possible."

Until the two of them returned to the bedroom to rest together at night, they didn't talk much about the assassination of Louis.

Through "Lemanor's Magic Book", Forsi knew how powerful Hobert's abilities were, and also let her know how easy it was for a demigod to kill a Sequence 5.

……

After nightfall on Friday, it started to rain lightly.

This actually made Backlund's air a lot better. The carriage was still running on the street, and the driver lowered the brim of his hat to prevent rainwater from falling into his eyes.

After the lantern was covered with a layer of rain, the light seemed to disperse a little and became a little unreal.

Hobert, whose face had changed, looked at the street. Pedestrians on both sides of the road were hurrying back and forth holding umbrellas, while homeless people were huddled in the corners, hoping that the light rain would end soon.

Now Backlund has a joke: Earl Hobert hires all the wanderers!
Although this joke is a bit exaggerated, since Hobert returned to Backlund, 4 homeless people have immigrated to the South Colson area.

When several branches of "Earl's Light" were under construction, Hobert successively recruited nearly 3 homeless people.

This reduced the number of homeless people on the streets of Backlund by a quarter, because Hobert also recruited some poor people living in extreme poverty in the East District, otherwise the number of homeless people would have been reduced by a full third.

But judging from the current trend, this quarter of the "share" will be filled again in the next two to three months, and the number of homeless people will return to about 20.

It's not that Backlund only has these 20 homeless people, but that the "leftovers" in Backlund are only enough to feed 20 homeless people.

Looking at the wet street, Hobert looked away, his thoughts wandering for a moment.

The carriage arrived at the East End, and Hobert got out of the car in the rain and put on his hood.

In fact, he can completely "distort" the angle at which the raindrops fall, so that not a drop of rainwater will fall on his clothes, but that will instantly expose his strength.

So Hobert, like most passers-by, lowered his hat brim and walked quickly to a dilapidated wooden door in a dark alley.

Hobert recalled the door-knocking signal that Xio told him, and he curled his fingers, first three light and three heavy, then two long and three short.

A few seconds later, the door opened silently, and a waiter wearing an iron mask looked at the changed appearance of Hobert: "Friend, who introduced you?"

Hobert frowned: "You're the new guy here, right? I used to attend Mr. A's parties at 177 Queens, and no one ever asked me who introduced me."

In fact, he only participated once.

After Mr.

The waiter got out of the way when he saw that the address where Mr. A had held the party mentioned by Hobert was correct.

Hobert walked past him unhurriedly, and when he walked through the corridor which was not very long, he felt spiritually that three eyes glanced at him one after another.

Mr.

After passing through the short corridor, I came to a fairly large living room, and all those sights and scrutiny disappeared.

The level 1 sealed objects on Hobert's body are all in a sealed state. Even an angel's inspection may not be able to tell the clues. Of course, no one noticed anything unusual about him.

And although Hobert is not wearing a mask, he is using the "order crystal" at the head of the staff to perform anti-divination operations to prevent the highly spiritual "traveler" from noticing the danger.

He arrived relatively early, glanced at the rows of chairs, and finally sat down near the main seat.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, it was time for the party.

Hobert took a look and saw that there were only about 30 people, only about half of the number of people in Mr. A's previous party. There were also many wild Beyonders who were probably still watching.

There is no need to worry that if Xio doesn't come to the party this time, people from the Aurora Society will be suspicious.

At this time, Mr.

Wearing a black classical robe and a magician's hat, he did not exude a strong aura, but the members attending the party lowered their heads unconsciously.

Mr.

"Okay!" Hobert's figure suddenly became illusory, and then appeared in front of Mr.

Instead of using "twist", he used "flash" of "Traveler's Knife".

Hobert thrust his right hand into Mr. X's chest and pulled out a still-beating heart.

Mr.

His figure that began to become illusory also became solid again and quickly lost its vitality.

Under the golden mask, the incredible expression gradually turned into fear, fixed on the face of the corpse.

At this time, the members who came to the party suddenly realized that the host of the party had been killed. They screamed and ran out, and the living room became a mess.

Hobert threw away the heart in his hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on his hand, saying, "The physiques of extraordinary people of this path are really weak!"

"Travelers" are indeed notoriously difficult to catch, but once their ability to escape is restricted or they have no time to use it, it means that they will be in great danger.

Hobert was fast enough, so he went up and killed the opponent without even using his "chaos" or "distortion" abilities.

At this time, the surrounding shadows seemed to become thicker, and the shadows began to flow towards Hobert. It was difficult for them to determine Hobert's strength, but they could not just walk away, so they could only try to attack.

After Hobert wiped the blood on his hands, he threw Mr. X's body into the leather bag with space magic: "Degenerate!"

"Ah~"

Three screams immediately came from the shadows, and the dim shadows suddenly jumped up, revealing three grotesque human figures that looked like black pieces of paper. They seemed to be enduring great pain.

Then the three shadows stopped struggling and fell straight to the ground, and the "black paper" revealed the faces of the three people.

They have always been under the influence of the "True Creator". At this time, Hobert's "fall" was like being hit by a high-level ability of this path at close range, and he died tragically!
Hobert took their time and put their bodies into his bag. He could feel that there were still some eyes peering at him from the shadows around him, but Hobert was not very interested in these members of Sequence 7 or below. .

At this time, the members attending the party were still blocked in the narrow corridor. Hobert simply pushed down a wall and left the living room unhurriedly.

There were basically no street lights on the streets of the East District, and Hobert walked step by step in the dark alleys.

At this time, the darkness on the street suddenly became thicker, and illusory figures appeared one after another, staring at Hobert with malicious intent.

In Hobert's impression, the Aurora Society seemed to have a demigod in Backlund. He didn't talk nonsense. While his fists were covered with a layer of orange-red light, he rushed over and said, "Massacre!"

The sticky black shadow didn't expect that the other party wouldn't even test it, but launched a fierce attack. They quickly dispersed like a tide.

But Hobert appeared in front of the black shadow like a flash, and stepped hard on the ground. The violent blow seemed to create a circle of ripples in the black shadow, and at the same time, it made a big hole in the ground.

A black shadow rolled aside and rolled silently on the ground.

The "Black Knight" allowed his shadow to withstand this "massacre". The shadow was seriously injured, but the "Black Knight" remained unscathed.

"Relation!" Hobert, who had experienced fighting the "Black Knight" once, related the shadow on the ground to its owner.

This caused the shadow's injuries to be transmitted to the main body to a certain extent, and a muffled groan came from roughly the end of the dim alley.

"Chaos!" threw this ability in that direction. Because "chaos" can occur within a certain range, it doesn't matter even if it doesn't hit the opponent.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hobert "distorted" the distance and rushed over, while injecting spirituality into "1-109": "Fire Crow Technique!"

Two flames stretched out from his back, turning into dozens of fire crows and smashing towards each other. The darkness at the end of the alley immediately became thicker and stood up like a semi-solidified liquid, blocking most of the fire. Crow's attack.

The fire crow exploded, causing bricks and tiles to fly everywhere at the end of the alley, and the land to be dented.

Many people were "knocked" onto the streets by the blast wave while they were still sleeping.

Hobert took this opportunity to rush in front of the opponent, thrust out his rapier, and the semi-solidified "dark liquid" was pierced: "Weaken!"

The "Black Knight" dodged the rapier with some embarrassment and fell into a weakened state.

At this time, a figure with bright illusory symbols floating around appeared between the two people. This figure gradually exuded the color of dusk, and its appearance became clearer. There was only a huge vertical pupil on its face, and its hands were clasped together. Great sword.

The sword that Hobert then stabbed failed to pierce this huge figure. At the same time, he felt that his strength was rapidly draining, and even his soul became vicissitudes. It seemed that he hated all fighting and just wanted to wait for death peacefully. Advent.

"Gift!" Hobert struggled against the vicissitudes of his soul and "gifted" his negative state to the "Black Knight" behind the huge figure.

A ray of dusk color appeared on the "Black Knight", but this ray of color quickly "flowed" to the ground and disappeared into the black shadow. He gave all these negative states to the surrounding shadows, making half of the alley briefly It gave off the glow of dusk.

At the same time, the tall figure with giant pupils disappeared, and the figure with bright illusory symbols floating around it reappeared.

Hobert realized that this was the "occultist" being herded by the "Black Knight", and what he had just "reproduced" might be a scene like "The God of War went to war" or "The Giant King went to war".

Hobert raised his other hand and injected spirituality into "1-107": "Exile!"

The figure with the illusory symbols floating on it suddenly felt a huge force, as if it was going to be blown into another world.

Hobert took advantage of this opportunity and stabbed the "Black Knight" with his sword. When the other party took back the "Occultist", a blue magma sword appeared in his hand, blocking Hobert's attack. hit.

At the same time, goat horns grow on the opponent's head, and his skin becomes dark and evil, as if he is covered with a layer of armor. This is a "demonized" state.

The other party instantly switched to the soul of the "Apostle of Desire". Hobert drew a "gap in the underworld" with a casual stroke, and the surrounding rainwater was swept into the underworld with the cold wind.

Hobert became more and more proficient in controlling the power of the underworld. While using the power of the underworld to put as much pressure on the souls being herded as possible, he stretched out his rapier and said, "Zoom in!"

He amplified the "Whisper of the Dead" that the rapier had been emitting. From the beginning of the battle, the "Black Knight" had been attacked by the "Whisper of the Dead". Now these attacks finally appeared, and the "Black Knight" felt that his muscles Stiff, as if his body is becoming more and more unfamiliar.

However, the flesh and blood magic of the "Black Knight" came into play at this time. His heart instantly doubled in size, providing surging power to his blood, accelerating the flow of blood, and the feeling of muscle stiffness gradually disappeared.

Hobert thrust out his sword again, and a hand stretched out from the "Black Knight's" chest, holding the rapier.

The "Black Knight" himself also quickly returned to normal from the "demonized" state. The hand holding the rapier on his chest stretched out an arm, and then a delicate "puppet" that looked unreal came out, its eyes were blank, No sparkle.

Hobert was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that this "Black Knight" would herd two demigod-level souls.

The extremely spiritual "puppet" can cover the rapier with spirituality and block Hobert's attack.

"What a pity!" Hobert said with the corner of his mouth lowered, "You can only graze one soul at a time."

Although there is no pause in switching, the coordination of various abilities is difficult to deal with only when demigods and below are fighting. In the battle of demigods, the attack of a single spirit body cannot have unexpected effects.

Even the continuity skills are a bit weak.

While Hobert was speaking, a puppet-like figure was changing from illusion to solidity in the pupils of his eyes.

This was a "puppet" level of possession. Hobert simply turned the rapier and stabbed it into his chest.

The “puppet”’s originally dull eyes immediately turned painful and left Hobert’s body with a scream.

Hobert pulled out his rapier: "Gift!"

Once again, most of the injuries were "donated" to the "Black Knight".

This is the battle of demigods. Combos are very useful for those below demigods, but they are likely to be broken in strange ways during the battle of demigods.

The combo that "Black Knight" always uses is possessed by "Puppet". He directs his shadow to attack the target.

Then in the second step, use "Occultist" to create an aggressive "reappearance" and control the target with your own shadow.

There is a third step and a fourth step behind it.

But in the battle with Hobert, his shadow was seriously injured by Hobert as soon as he came up. Now he doesn't dare to control the shadow at all, fearing that the shadow's injury will affect him.

The "Black Knight's" combo has also become a joke.

The "Gap in the Underworld" has always been there, and the "Black Knight" clearly feels that his grazing souls are affected by some kind of force, as if he is snatching the control of these souls.

He realized that he had no chance of winning in this battle.

So he asked the "Puppet" to block Hobert's offensive again, and prepared to immediately hide in the darkness and escape.

Hobert has been waiting for this opportunity. He knows that now with his own abilities and the use of sealed objects, he is sure to defeat Sequence 4 in most ways.

Even if he couldn't defeat the "Black Knight" in a short time, Hobert expected that the other party would escape immediately if he had the chance. After all, Aurora was a secret organization, and even if it cooperated with the royal family, it would not be visible to the public.

The commotion just now was so loud that the demigods of the church could arrive in two minutes at most. He would definitely not dare to fight a protracted battle.

"Relation!" Hobert has just fought to put the opponent in a "weak" and "gift" state, so the three skills such as "relation" are 100% successful.

As expected, the "Black Knight"'s escape stopped. He looked at his shadow. Although he ran away, his shadow was not taken away yet!
Hobert punched the opponent out of the shadows.

The "Black Knight" suddenly realized that even if he left the shadow alone, it would come back to him after a while.

But Hobert's second punch had already come, and the "Black Knight" immediately turned into an exquisite puppet. He used his extremely strong "puppet" ability to catch the punch, and was beaten back repeatedly.

Then Hobert kicked, and the "Black Knight" realized that even the physically powerful "Puppet" seemed unable to block this kick.

Only then did the "Black Knight" realize that something was wrong.

Of course something is wrong, because Hobert is using the "fatal attack" in "1-109" at this time, each blow is heavier than the last, and the average demigod can only last until the fourth blow.

But the "Black Knight" had no time to dodge and could only block it with his arms.

Click, an arm was kicked off.

However, the "Black Knight" immediately used his own flesh and blood to return the broken bones to their original positions.

The "Black Knight" was about to switch the soul of the "Occultist" to block Hobert's next attack. After what he had just experienced, he didn't dare to run away now.

The thin sword in Hobert's hand suddenly grew longer and stabbed the "Black Knight" in the chest.

The "Black Knight" was confused: "It can still be done, it will grow longer!"

Hobert's transition from "association" to "fatal attack" is actually just preparing for the attack of the rapier. He needs such an opportunity. This opportunity only takes a blink of an eye to seriously injure the "Black Knight" unexpectedly.

The reason why the rapier becomes the main weapon of attack is that it can destroy the spirit body of the "Black Knight", which can effectively prevent him from using the tenacious flesh and blood magic.

The rapier suddenly widened, breaking half of the "Black Knight's" chest.

The "Black Knight" immediately stepped back and used flesh and blood magic to heal the wound, but he found that the wound could not heal!
The wound was like a huge whirlpool, and his vitality and spirituality were rapidly draining from there.

"Arrogant!" Hobert used this ability almost like a trial, and at the same time, the sword in his hand turned into a two-handed sword.

The "Black Knight" seemed to think that he could continue fighting with Hobert, but Hobert stepped on his chest and cut off his head with a sword.

The "Black Knight" didn't even have a chance to escape with flesh magic, because his spirit body was almost broken, which made him find that he couldn't control the damaged flesh and blood.

I can only feel the rapid loss of life in fear, and it will soon come to an end.

Call ~
A strong wind blew from the direction of the Holy Wind Church. Hobert took one look and quickly put away the body of the "Black Knight". He did not forget to seal the "Gap in the Underworld" and used "Travel" to leave the scene.
