Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 657: Fellow fellow, take care

At the pergola outside the Governor's Palace on Longtail Island, Hobert told Klein how to enter the mausoleum: "Mr. Gate had some arrangements in these mausoleums back then.

“Originally, it was intended to allow Tudor to travel freely among the nine tombs, or for the forces protecting the tombs to quickly support each other, but these arrangements became a loophole in the tombs.

"According to some information I got, the Loen royal family only renovated the mausoleum but did not rebuild it, so Mr. Gate's arrangements are still there."

Klein said: "I've heard about this too."

He had used the corresponding ritual to contact Mr. "Gate" and learned from him the way to enter the tomb: the blood of 22 extraordinary people was needed.

However, Hobert's method of entering the mausoleum is simpler: "You need to use the blood of an extraordinary person of sequence 7 or above through the 'Gate' pathway, and a talisman at the demigod level with the ability to 'tamper'.

"It just so happened that the Gnosis Council recently focused on a Sequence 6 of the Gnosis Association. I have informed them that when they round up and kill that Sequence 6, drain all his blood and preserve it.

"So I can provide blood and charms. After making these charms in a few days, I will send them to you together with the blood."

Klein nodded: "Okay."

The three of them chatted while eating, talking about the Principality of South Balam, the adventurer industry, the future development prospects of Tutuga Port, and the upper class society in Backlund.

He didn't give Klein a chance to refuse and said directly: "'Wrong' card!"

Before traveling through time, these were the two delicacies he often ate.

They all use the "blasphemous card" as a medium to strengthen their own status and mobilize more power.

For him, he must get the two cards given by the Church of the Night Goddess. One is of great use to him, and the other is of great use to Klein.

He used the "Card of Blasphemy" in "Above the Gray Mist", which is similar to the principle of Hobert using the "Card of Blasphemy".

Hobert sighed: “There are wonderful places in this world, and there are also helpless places.

Unconsciously, the conversation lasted until around eight o'clock in the evening, and both he and Hobert were still a little unfinished.

Klein thought about it and thought that with the "blasphemous card" in the adjacent path, he should be able to perform more operations.

After that, the conversation became more and more relaxed, and one after another, they talked about the wedding of Hobert and Forsi, the Nighthawks, and the city of Tingen.

He paused for a few seconds before saying: "This reward is very reasonable, but before you can be promoted, you must pay this 'blasphemous card' first."

As a result, after hearing Hobert's emotion, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

"No problem." Hobert agreed happily: "Two days before my promotion, I will sacrifice it to Mr. Fool."

It's been a long time since Klein had such a leisurely chat about the past, because he was wearing layers of masks and couldn't talk about his real past with the people around him.

As for those secrets, it would be more appropriate for Amon's clone to tell him.

“For example, the curse I encountered is the most difficult problem I have encountered so far.

"But if I don't face it, I will either become a madman, or I will become a mental suture monster like Trunsoest."

As a former keyboard warrior, Klein has of course heard of this idea: "I remember that this technology has made quite a breakthrough, but it's not like building a power station on the shore like I imagined, but putting the power generated there." The station is built in the sea.”

Klein was slightly stunned. He was about to say that "The Fool" had not yet taken back enough authority and was unable to help.

Klein had also imagined before that if he could get the "Fool" card, or the "blasphemous card" of the adjacent pathway, this medium would be "closer" to his own pathway and the power of "Above the Gray Fog", and he would definitely be able to mobilize it. More power.

But he could talk about it here, because he knew that Hobert and Forsi wouldn't reveal these secrets.

At the same time, the delicacies arranged in the kitchen also whetted Klein's appetite, especially the fish head with chopped pepper, which gave him the feeling of eating hometown food in a foreign country.

After talking about the business, the two started chatting aimlessly again.

The reason why he didn't sacrifice it to "The Fool" immediately after getting the card was because Hobert was afraid that when Amon's clone would catch Klein later, it would be hilarious if Klein had this card with him. !

Listening to their chat, Forsi realized that Hobert and "The World" had known each other for a long time, and they even seemed to have stopped the evil god from coming together when they were not high up in the order.

Then he said: "Many of my previous memories are very vague."

So after dinner, Hobert invited Klein to take a walk on the beach.

Hobert thought about it for a moment: "After you said that, I seem to remember such a thing."

After putting away the map, Hobert lifted the "tampering" around and asked the servants to start serving food.

Anyway, Klein finally escaped from danger, and now with the help of the "Creator", maybe he can escape without dying once.

"Maybe it's because the two worlds are completely different." Klein said with emotion: "I have almost forgotten the taste of fried noodles and fish-flavored shredded pork."

In the dark night, the waves were still lapping at the coast leisurely. Hobert smiled and said: "I remember seeing an idea about wave power generation. I wonder if it can be realized in this world with the blessing of extraordinary abilities."

Hobert smiled slightly: "That's right."

Klein, who was about to tell Hobert the truth, was suddenly stunned. He asked, "The 'blasphemous card' of the 'Stealer' path."

But it would be best for Klein to visit the "Land Abandoned by Gods". After all, there is Chernobyl and the Moon City there.

Of course Forsi understood that they wanted to chat alone, so he said that he still had some official business to deal with and did not go with them.

Hobert continued: "Oh, by the way, yesterday I forgot to tell you the reward I can pay to 'The Fool'."

He also thinks this method is more convenient.

He told the truth: "Mr. Fool may need to do some research."

As for Klein's arrest, Hobert did not intend to remind him in advance. He remembered that Amon told him many shocking secrets in order to defraud Klein.

Finally, they discussed that Klein would contact the "Queen of Mystery".

It wasn't until after ten o'clock, when the only lights in the Governor's Mansion on Longtail Island were still lit, that Klein left.

Just when he was about to enter the spirit world, Hobert smiled and said: "Take care, fellow man."

The word "fellow" touched Klein deeply, and Gehrman Sparrow's character suddenly collapsed. He showed a bright smile: "You too, fellow."

Watching Klein leave, Hobert wandered alone on the beach for more than half an hour.

Thinking of the problems he encountered and the problems Klein would encounter later, he felt a lot of emotions for a while.

After Hobert calmed down, he returned to the Governor's Mansion.

In the master bedroom of the mansion, Forsi was not asleep yet.

She smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the famous adventurer who looked very dangerous in the newspaper would actually love food so much and cherish communication with friends."

Hobert said while taking off his coat: "This guy has a harder time than me! Fortunately, I still have a few close people, but he is different. For some reasons, he wants to hide his past, so he is too lonely. "

Hobert lay on the bed and sighed: "What a wonderful and fucked world!"

Forsi hugged Hobert: "At least he still has you as a friend."

Hobert smiled and snapped his fingers. The light switch was "twisted" by him, and the lights were immediately turned off: "I hope I can help him in the future."

……

On Wednesday morning, Hobert got up and started preparing for the trip to the Amanda Mountains.

For him, this matter is the most important thing at the moment.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, he welcomed an unexpected but expected guest: Bernadette.

Bernadette, who was wearing an Intis-style white shirt and dark jacket, paired with a pair of tight jeans that looked very much like the ones in Hobert's impression, sighed with emotion as soon as she came up: "I didn't expect Tutuga Port to be so... Prospered.”

Apparently she had already visited Tutuga Port first.

"Fortunately," Hobert said with a smile: "I heard that next year's pirate conference will be held there. I believe that after that grand gathering of the pirate world, this port will be even more prosperous."

By then it will definitely become a pirate's paradise.

While the two were chatting, Hobert invited Bernadette into a reception room.

From the window here, you can see the coconut grove in the distance and a small beach.

Bernadette looked at the scenery in the distance and sighed: "It's been a long time since I took a quiet look at the waves."

After the servant served tea, Hobert did not respond to Bernadette's emotion, but "tampered" with the surroundings so that the conversation between the two would not be overheard.

Bernadette asked again: "I heard that there will be no servants on Longwei Island?"

"There is no longer a transaction of buying and selling servants." Hobert said: "The new policy is that an employment contract must be signed between the employer and the servant, otherwise the employer will be severely punished.

"Some of the terms of that contract will ensure the personal safety of the servants and the minimum respect."

At this point, he spread his hands: "Too many people in this world need the job of servants. As their ruler, I cannot let those people have no source of income."

Bernadette smiled and said, "You are a qualified ruler."

"Thank you."

She continued: "Gehrman Sparrow found me yesterday and talked about your plan."

Hobert nodded: "Do you have any questions about our plan?"

"No, my spirituality suddenly realized that that is actually where I need your help." Bernadette smiled.

When Hobert launched the Battle of South Colson before, he asked Bernadette to lead the "Elemental Dawn" into the battle. One of Bernadette's conditions was that she might ask Hobert for a favor in the future.

Hobert took a sip of tea: "If I were you, I wouldn't take the initiative to mention this matter."

He put down the tea cup: "Unless you have other things to talk to me about." That's why he took the initiative to talk about it to show his openness.

Bernadette held the tea cup, but never drank the tea in it: "Yes, I really want to know, what is the attitude of the 'creator' towards my father?"

During the Battle of South Colson, she had observed the "Creator", and at that time she was very sure that the "Creator" should be the "Black Emperor" path, or an adjacent path to the "Black Emperor".

In theory, this should be her father's enemy, but it is strange that Hobert, the "creator" and the favored one of the gods, shows enough kindness.

Especially when it comes to George III becoming a god, it is obvious that the "creator" does not want the king to become a god, even though they seem to have a very close cooperative relationship.

But when it comes to disputes about extraordinary characteristics, the "creator" will never compromise.

Then the attitude of the "founder" towards her father is very critical, which will affect how the two organizations get along with each other in the future.

Hobert responded: “All I can say is there was no malice.

"I have told you before that I will help you find Emperor Russell."

Bernadette put down the tea cup in her hand: "Why?"

Hobert smiled and replied: "I don't know the specific reason, but I guess it may be because the 'creator' knows your father."

Bernadette was slightly startled: "Is it because of this?"

"Otherwise?" Hobert asked, "Do you think the gods have many acquaintances?"

Bernadette didn't know what to say for a moment. She was not familiar with the gods and didn't know what the gods were thinking.

But I always feel a little uneasy: Will gods behave in such a humane way?

Bernadette was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Can you tell me how the 'Creator' will treat my father if he is found?"

Hobert smiled and said: "I don't know, but I guess they are leaning towards rescue or making some deals.

"After all, if you want to kill Emperor Russell, there is no need to go to such trouble. As long as you support George III to become a god, after the new Black Emperor appears, your father will never have any hope of resurrection."

This was what was strange about Bernadette, and it was also the reason why she always felt that the "creator" had some goodwill toward her father.

As Hobert said, if the "Maker" wanted to harm him, he didn't need to do anything.

Not only that, but the "creator" is currently looking for her father, so in Bernadette's view, the "creator" at least has no intention of directly harming her father.

Bernadette thought for a few seconds, and finally she felt that it was more likely that the "creator" wanted to complete some deal with her father.

"I understand." Bernadette took a deep breath and asked, "When will we set off?"

Hobert was stunned: "Setting out to find your father?"

"Correct."

"At least after we are all promoted to Sequence 2." Hobert reminded: "Only the Sequence 2 level can avoid some contamination or avoid being affected by some influences."

Bernadette nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come to me."

After saying that, she stood up and left immediately.

Hobert warned: "Take care of the lamp, don't let Eris take it away."

Of course Bernadette understood what Hobert was referring to by "that light", and she nodded: "I know."

While speaking, a pair of illusory wings grew from Bernadette's back, and the huge wings surrounded Bernadette.

A breeze blew by, and the pair of illusory wings were blown away like a burst of smoke, returning to nothingness, and Bernadette in the wings disappeared.

Hobert removed his "tampering" and continued to go about his own business.

Just when the demigods of the Balk family had finished gathering and were preparing to set off, Allen, the steward of Lord Nancolson's Mansion, came to report: "Princess Ethel has sent an envoy and hopes to invite you to Fenebo tomorrow. Special City Hunting.”

Ethel had asked Hobert to hunt together before, but Hobert didn't take it seriously at the time.

The invitation this time obviously had something to discuss. Hobert guessed that it was probably also about George III becoming a god, so he could take the opportunity to promote the location of George III's mausoleum.

So Hobert said to Allen: "Tell the messenger that I don't have time tomorrow. Please ask Princess Ethel to avoid spying and meet quietly in the main hall of the Lord's Mansion on Saturday morning."

Hobert believes that Ethel must be very aware that there are many Loen spies in Feneport City. For Hobert, if their whereabouts are discovered, it will affect future plans.

After Allen left, Hobert set out with Lawrence and other four demigods.

Those who participated in this operation were all the demigods of the Balk family, and the Extraordinaries of the South Balan Principality were temporarily under the control of Angus.

A group of people used two sealed objects with the ability to "travel" to come to York City in the Amanda Mountains. This is the holy land of the Church of the Night Goddess and was once the capital of the Kingdom of the Night Goddess.

Now, in addition to being used for pilgrimage by believers, this city is also generally used to receive some non-Night Church powers.

Hobert and his party came to the city gate and saw that the city walls were all made of black stone and city bricks. The structure was very simple, and many modifications could also be seen.

If you look towards the Amanda Mountains from here, you can just see the "Deep Dark Heaven", the headquarters of the Church of the Night Goddess.

It is a group of buildings that are always under the night sky. You can see a tall black church halfway up the mountain, as well as corresponding primitive buildings.

The starlight shines just right, making the entire complex look divine!

While Hobert and others were looking around curiously, a middle-aged man with thinning hair wearing the bishop's robe of the Church of the Night walked towards us: "Hello, Grand Duke Hobert, and everyone else.

"I have been ordered to receive you here."

Hobert glanced at the other person's eyes. They were not only deep, but also seemed to have a pool of black spring water flowing slowly inside.

He smiled and said, "Hello."

"You can call me Bin." The middle-aged man led five people into the city in front: "Please follow me."

The city of York is now more like a large reception center, with a huge pilgrimage square in the center of the city. The other buildings in the city have only two functions: catering and accommodation.

There are no places like residential areas or factory areas. There are restaurants and hotels everywhere you look, but most of them are not open at this time.

Bin introduced to everyone that it looks relatively deserted here now, but by the winter gift day, these rooms will not be enough to live in, and even tents will be set up outside the city.

The Winter Ceremony Day is the Winter Solstice, but for the Church of the Goddess of the Night and its believers, this is a very important day.

The night on this day is the longest and is regarded by believers as the birthday of the goddess of the night.

Hobert thought: This is the fanatical side of religion.

The five people were arranged in a rather luxurious reception house, which should be a residence for some important believers.

After Bin introduced everyone to the location of the restaurant and bathroom, he politely asked everyone to wait in the room, and invited Hobert to go to the Serenity Church in the "Deep Dark Heaven" to discuss the battle plan.

Hobert was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to be able to visit the legendary Serenity Church.

While chatting with Bin, he followed Bin to the basement.

In the center of the basement made of huge stones, there is a stone door made of obsidian. The center of the stone door is pitch black, with little stars flashing.

Seeing the stone door of this structure, Hobert was certain that this was not a "traveler's door."

After entering the stone door, Hobert seemed to be in the starry sky, with bright stars dotting the huge night sky.

As he followed Bin forward, he guessed that a structure similar to a portal was built using the star realm.

However, this kind of "portal" should only be used near the Kingdom of God, because only the starry sky near the Kingdom of God has sufficient connection with the real world.

After only taking a few steps, Bin pushed forward, opened a door in the dark starry sky, and took Hobert out of the space that looked like a starry sky.

Hobert saw that there was also a huge stone structure outside the door, like it was in another basement.

It's just that there are several obsidian doors here, and people often come in and out.

Bing greeted them, and when these clergy responded to Bing, they would look at Hobert curiously.

Through the pleasantries between them, Hobert found out that Bing was actually an archbishop.

Then he should be a demigod.

This is in line with the etiquette of reciprocity in diplomatic situations. After all, Hobert and others are also demigods, so it is quite normal to send a demigod to be responsible for reception.

Arriving at the above-ground structure through the stairs, Hobert saw a huge chapel on one side of the corridor, with patches of starlight shining in from the surrounding windows.

Hobert realized that he was now inside the Church of Tranquility.

They did not enter the chapel, but walked along the corridor to a relatively simple-looking, very spacious room.

Hobert found that the entire Serenity Church seemed very simple. The clergy here were either wearing divine servant uniforms or bishop's robes, or they were dressed as ascetics.

The same goes for several people in the stone room, some wearing bishop's robes, and some like Arianna wearing very simple clothes.

But these people are all archbishop-level figures, among whom Hobert also saw Archbishop Anthony.

The two of them had just exchanged a few words when Ms. Arianna came in with a middle-aged man wearing a black robe.

Everyone stood up and saluted. The middle-aged man turned out to be the legendary Samuel.

Of course, in the Church of the Night, believers and Nighthawks all call him Saint Samuel. The current cathedral in Backlund is named after him!

After Hobert bowed with everyone, he looked at the beardless man in front of him. He remembered that Saint Samuel was an angel during the Fourth Age.

Samuel gave people a very harmonious feeling. He also looked at Hobert, and then said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Let me introduce this gentleman. This is Duke Hobert. I believe you are familiar with it." His name is familiar."

He paused and then said: "For tomorrow's battle, we have invited an angel from the 'Creator' to cover us on the west side of the entire battlefield."

Some archbishops did not know about this plan in advance. After hearing Saint Samuel's words, they, like Arianna before, repositioned the relationship between the Church of the Night and the "founder" forces in their hearts.
