Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 144
Hobert diverged his thinking and began to summarize the previous battle with Qilingus.

He suddenly discovered that he now has a sealed item and three magical items, but he still lacks a magical item that can escape!
Hobert thought that if he had a sealed item or a magical item with the ability to "travel" at that time, he would have been able to "travel" happily hand in hand with Hugh and Fors. Who would have stayed there with Qilinger? Si smash?
But it is a magical item with the ability of "travel", and it is against Sequence 5.

The key is that the Sequence 5 of the "apprentice" path is notoriously difficult to kill. It is estimated that ten thousand pounds of this type of magical item can be bought.

Hobert lamented that some time ago, he felt that he was not short of money, but now he realized that the 900 pounds in his hand are indeed quite rich for an ordinary person, but for an extraordinary person, this amount of money is nothing. not enough!
Thus, Hobert became enthusiastic about making money again. He planned to go to the information wall of the Mercenary Club to see if there were any suitable entrustments after returning to Backlund.

After thinking about it, drowsiness gradually came over, and Hobert finally fell asleep, but because his spirit was shocked when he was fighting with Achill today, he kept dreaming after falling asleep.

……

There are no small towns in the Southern Continent.

The morning sun pierced through the fog and shone on the meeting hall halfway up the mountain, bringing warmth to the room.

The patriarch and several family elders sat on the seats like wooden sculptures.

The demigod elder Chester broke the silence: "In other words, that hidden existence has at least the power of an angel?"

Calvin said: "At present, yes. That hidden existence interrupted the power of the enemy angel that was descending."

Elder Bowen speculated: "Could it be that Elliott found some loophole..."

Speaking of this, he himself realized that it was impossible. Even if he found a loophole in the opponent's descending power, he did not have enough personalities to block the opponent's power back.

"No." Calvin said: "That hidden existence appeared in front of me and punished me.

"Elliot says: Do not put God to the test!"

The meeting hall fell silent again. If there were angel-level, or god-level powerhouses backing them up, there would be no need for them to always hide in non-existent towns.

At that time, it was also because of insufficient information that the family got into trouble with the "Rose School". It was only later that I found out that this organization actually had angel-level powerhouses.

But at the same time, it may also represent a devastating disaster. All the forces in the family combined may not be the hidden opponent.

Dozens of seconds later, Carvin said again: "That hidden existence didn't let me completely lose control, and he let Elliott complete the psychic process, which is obviously responding to our temptation, and They all showed enough kindness.”

"No matter what we choose, this hidden existence has already noticed us." The patriarch said in a hoarse voice: "Then, why don't we try to contact this hidden existence!"

There was another silence, but this time the silence was different from the previous silence, which meant that everyone acquiesced to the patriarch's proposal.

"How do we get in touch with that hidden being?" Bowen asked.

Calvin, who had been prepared for a long time, said: "For example, give Elliott a seat as an elder."

……

Hobert yawned and got up to wash his hands. Although he had a dream all night, his spirituality and physical strength were well recovered.

While enjoying breakfast, he saw the news of Qilingus' death on the front page of the morning newspaper that had just arrived.

Last night was indeed the day when Qilingus wanted to die, and it was also the day when Audrey had a bumper harvest.

Hobert glanced at the rest of the newspaper again, seeing nothing worthy of attention, so he concentrated on his meal.

After breakfast, Hobert came to Dominic's company again.

Dominic smiled happily: "Lawyer Hobert, I'm just looking for someone to invite you over."

It turned out that one of the kidnappers who was injured by Hobert slipped up during the interrogation yesterday, and mentioned that there was a mastermind behind their kidnapping. The police took this as a breakthrough point and interrogated Mr. Claude as the mastermind.

Early this morning, Claude had been arrested and imprisoned. Dominic just got the news that Claude admitted that he planned the kidnapping.

Then there is no need to fight the lawsuit between Dominic and Claude, and the prosecution will prosecute Claude.

Naturally, nothing happened to Hobert.

However, Dominic still generously paid 150 pounds for the lawyer's commission fee, and gave Hobert a 30-pound tip separately to express his gratitude to Hobert for saving Elizabeth.

Hobert did not expect that this case would be concluded in such a way.

Dominique smiled and said, "Tonight I will also attend the welcome banquet organized by Mr. Ulysses for you, and Elizabeth will also go. She has always said that she would like to thank you in person."

"You're too polite." Hobert smiled and said, "It's my honor that you can attend the banquet tonight."

……

In the morning, the Blackthorn Security Company received a new commission: to follow Mrs. Sharon and find her criminal evidence.

Captain Dunn handed over the commission to Klein. Under Leonard's guidance, Klein went to the Hound Bar to find a gang leader and asked him to send his subordinates to monitor Mrs. Sharon in turn and record her daily actions for 5 pounds. .

Fortunately, this cost can be reimbursed.

Klein walked out of the Hound Bar with emotion, and suddenly thought that Old Neil's home was not very far away, and that Old Neil had asked for leave for two consecutive days, and it was said that he was going to the hospital to see a doctor today.

Klein took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was almost eleven o'clock. I wonder if Old Neil came back from the hospital?
Now that we are all here, Klein decided to visit Old Neil.

After walking for about 10 minutes, Klein's spirituality sensed something was wrong when he came outside the door of Old Neil's house. The sun was already hanging in the sky, but Old Neil's house still had the curtains and door curtains closed.

Old Neil's condition won't get worse, will it?

Klein stepped forward quickly and knocked on the door, but no one answered.

But there seemed to be someone whispering inside.

"Old Neil!" Klein yelled, but there was still no answer, but the whisper was still there.

Could it be that Old Neil's condition is so serious that he can't stand up and open the door?
Klein took out a piece of paper that he carried with him, shook his wrist, and the paper immediately became as hard as steel. He inserted the thin "steel paper" into the door and opened the latch.

Pushing the door open, he immediately saw Old Neil wandering step by step in the darkness.

Klein didn't go forward immediately, because he noticed that Old Neil seemed to be circling an altar.

thump~
The door of the room suddenly closed by itself, and the candles on the altar beside Old Neil lit up like flames.

The firelight allowed Klein to see Old Neil clearly, and an emotionless eye appeared on each of his cheeks.

Klein immediately realized that Old Neil was on the verge of losing control again, and the situation was more serious than last time.
