Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 157
When they came to the rental house of Xio and Forsi, the extraordinary characteristics of the two cultists had already been separated.

The Extraordinary characteristic of "Cultivator" is a lump of emerald green thick liquid, much like a ball of water with too much seaweed.

The Extraordinary characteristic of "Prisoner" is like a gray stone mixed with some crystals, which can reflect light under the light.

Hobert used the wooden box he had prepared long ago to store the Extraordinary characteristics, and the three of them began to take turns to rest.

Just after dawn the next day, the carriage hired by Xio appeared at the door again.

This time Hobert saw clearly that the coachman was a scruffy, thin old man with a disheveled beard and hair.

The three of them rode in a carriage and brought the corpse to the entrance of the Mercenary Club. Hobert went in alone, went to the information wall room on the third floor to find the waiter, and asked the waiter to help notify the person who issued the reward mission for the cultists.

Hobert drank two cups of black tea in the reception hall on the first floor. After waiting for more than half an hour, several people in black formal suits were guided by the waiter to come across to Hobert.

The two sides exchanged a few words of politeness before the other party's chief said: "We need to confirm whether you have arrested the wrong person."

"During our arrest, they resisted fiercely and tried to escape, so..." Hobert smiled, "The body is in the carriage outside."

The chief nodded, not taking it seriously.

Hobert led them out, let Xio and Fors get out of the car first, and two people in black suits got into the car for autopsy.

There were no pedestrians on Queen's Road, only carriages going back and forth. Neither the nobles in the carriages nor the coachman of the nobles would pay attention to the three carriages parked on the side of the wide street.

The officer in a black suit chatted with Hobert under the carriage: "You were the ones who broke into the Lobito Textile Factory last night and killed someone?"

Both Xio and Fors were a little nervous. They didn't expect that the actions of last night would be known so quickly.

"You can think so." Hobart smiled, and at the same time did not leave any words for the other party.

"A businessman from the Fenepot Kingdom died at the scene." The officer took out a cigarette and lit one for himself, as if he didn't care much about it.

"He was with a cultist at the time." Hobert said, "But he wasn't on the reward list, so we treated him as an ordinary cultist."

At this time, the autopsy person opened the car door and nodded to the officer while taking off his gloves.

"Good kill!" The officer said with a smile, "I have long since disliked him."

He took a puff of smoke and said, "After the corpse has been parked for a while, is there anything unusual?"

Hobert smiled and said, "You mean Extraordinary characteristics."

The chief nodded: "Since you know, save me to explain it to you. Believe me, those two Extraordinary characteristics are very difficult for you to sell, so sell them to me."

"It just so happened that I once sold the Extraordinary characteristics of a cultist at a party in the mercenary club." Hobert was expressing that he could participate in the club's Extraordinary gatherings, and he knew the price of the Extraordinary characteristics: "You make a price Bar."

"How about a 280-pound serving?"

"Too cheap, 'Prisoner' 300, 'Cultivator' 350."

The officer was taken aback for a moment, he obviously didn't expect Hobart to know the price of the two Extraordinary characteristics so clearly: "The price you gave is a little bit higher..."

After some friendly negotiations, the "Prisoner"'s Extraordinary Properties were sold at 290 pounds, and the "Cultivator"'s Extraordinary Properties were sold at 330 pounds.

After negotiating the price, Hobert took over the wooden box from Forsi and got into the officer's car to make the deal.

Hobert counted and collected the money, and the other party collected the Extraordinary characteristics and the corpse, and the two parties briefly greeted each other and then left.

In the carriage, Xio and Fors saw Hobert take out a handful of gold pounds, and the two ladies breathed heavily.

It's not that they haven't seen big money, but they rarely see more than 1000 pounds of banknotes at once.

Xio laughed and said, "This is definitely the most rewarding task I have ever received!"

The income from this single task has caught up with her usual annual income.

Hobert smiled and said, "It's time for the most exciting splitting of accounts."

He said: "The rewards of the two heretics are 200 pounds each, adding up to 400 pounds, the two Extraordinary traits sold for a total of 620 pounds, this time our total income is 1020 pounds.

"I introduced this task to Xio, so it's not too much for me to take 5% of the agency fee?"

"Not too much." Xio immediately said, "Your fee is very fair."

Generally, for such high-income tasks, even if the agency fee reaches 8% or 10%, it is normal.

Hobert took 51 pounds out of it, and then they began to divide the remaining 969 pounds, Hugh took half of 484 pounds 10 soli, Hobert and Fors each took a quarter, 242 pounds 5 sous each Le.

This single task was successfully concluded, and the carriage drove to Blanca Street.

Fors asked Hobert: "Before you said that there were clues to the main material of 'Master of Conjuring'..."

Hobert smiled and said, "I have already obtained the main materials. If you want to be promoted recently, you only need to buy all the auxiliary materials."

Fors smiled and said, "Okay."

The income from this mission, plus her savings, is enough to pay for the main material of "Master of Magic".

Hobert continued: "In view of the possible consequences of last night's mission, I suggest that we live together for a period of time until the monitoring of the Fenepot embassy ends, or it is determined that they are not monitoring us."

Forsi nodded: "This is a good way. We can take turns to rest at night to prevent them from sneaking up."

Hugh also agreed, so the originally planned move was postponed for a few days.

Back at No. 192 Blanca Street, because they didn't have a good rest last night, so Hobert and Fors went back to rest first, while Xio read magazines in the living room and paid attention to whether there was anyone watching outside.

At noon, Hobert, who had slept for about two hours, got up energetically, and Hugh was already making lunch when he went downstairs.

"I'm sorry Hobert, I can only make noodles." Xio said to Hobert to serve noodles.

The popular noodles in the Kingdom of Loen are a bit like the spaghetti in Hobert's memory. The noodles are boiled, salt and olive oil are added, and then pre-cooked mushrooms are added, followed by meat sauce or tomato sauce.

Hobert smiled and said, "When I'm hungry, it's really satisfying to be able to eat a bowl of noodles. Uh, I don't want that much."

Xio said with some embarrassment, "I left this for myself."

Hobert finally knew why Hugh had so much strength: he could eat!

After filling his stomach, Hobert looked at the wall clock, it was already around one o'clock in the afternoon: "Fors hasn't woken up yet."

"Let her sleep for a while." Xio said while packing the tableware, "You go to work first, and after Forsi wakes up, I'll go take a nap."

Hobert was not polite, helped to wipe down the dining table, and then took the briefcase to the law firm.

As soon as he arrived at the firm, Hobert received an official letter, the content of which surprised him a bit: "The court date has been brought forward!"
