Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 173 Going to Tingen City Again

After sitting in the law office for more than ten minutes, Hobert went to Barton's to ask for leave, and came back to work next Tuesday.

Barton thought that Hobert was a little tired from handling the previous case, so he approved his leave note.

After leaving the office, Hobert first returned to No. 192 Blanca Street to complete the deal reached at the "Justice League" party.

Both Hugh and Fors were there, and as soon as he entered the door, Hugh told Hobert that she had sent 12 pounds of cash to Sheriff Rotor, who had brought someone to ram the door.

Hobert didn't make things difficult for the sheriff either, and threw the IOU into the fireplace.

Xio had already found someone to fix the door, and it only cost 3 soli.

So Hobert divided the compensation he got from Rotor into four parts, three parts of 30 pounds each, one part for Hobert, Hugh, and Forsi.

For the remaining 9 pounds and 17 soli, Hobert gave Forsi, asking her to use the money to improve everyone's food.

Then Hobert returned to his bedroom on the grounds of taking the Extraordinary characteristics upstairs, and first used the method of sacrificing himself to bring the "psychological spoon" into the "Kingdom of Disorder" and seal up most of the information about "Adam". memory.

Then he used his own way of praying for himself to bring the extraordinary characteristics of "magistrate", "master of tricks", and "arbiter" from the "land of disorder" to the real world.

Back downstairs, Hobert gave Xio and Fors a lot of discounts, selling them 550 pounds for each Extraordinary characteristic, and two Extraordinary characteristics made Hobert earn 1100 pounds.

Xio and Fors had already prepared auxiliary materials, and the two of them prepared the potion and took it one after another.

The process of Xio taking the potion went smoothly, but when Forsi took the potion, she was a little thrilled. Just after taking the potion, it was as if there were poisonous snakes crawling under her skin, making her look completely different.

It took Forsi three to four minutes to basically control the signs of losing control.

She rarely plays an apprentice, so the potion of "apprentice" has not been fully digested.

This was something Hobert didn't think of, and he didn't have time to remind her.

Fortunately, what he took was only the potion of Sequence 8. Even if the potion of Sequence 9 was not fully digested, it would only increase the mental burden, or lay hidden dangers for future loss of control.

If you can make good use of methods such as meditation, you can gradually control the power of the potion, but if you suddenly suffer a major mental blow or suffer a serious injury, you will still easily lose control.

Hobert poured a glass of wine for Fors, who was quite frightened: "You should stop advancing until you fully grasp the power of 'Master of Magic'."

Fors wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, and after taking two sips of wine, she said in shock, "I've been an 'apprentice' for so long, why is it so dangerous to take a higher-sequence potion? ?”

"No," Hobert said pointedly, "You haven't been an apprentice for a day!"

Fors sat on the chair and began to think. She seemed to understand what Hobert meant, but she didn't seem to understand anything.

Hobert simply put it a little more clearly: "I suggest you find a restaurant, learn cooking skills for a while, or learn something else, in short, be a real apprentice for a while."

Xio, who had always been unresponsive, understood before Beavers: "Hobert, what do you mean, the name of the potion is the trick to better master extraordinary abilities?"

She immediately thought that she had been acting as an "arbiter", so when she took the Sequence 8 potion, there would be no resistance.

Hobert nodded: "To be precise, it is the key to avoid losing control!"

He said solemnly: "This is very advanced extraordinary knowledge. You can communicate with each other, and you can ask me if you don't understand, but you are not allowed to spread it outside."

Xio and Fors nodded immediately, indicating that they understood.

After Fors recovered, the three of them took a rented carriage to the mansion of Viscount Glaint, handed over the potion formula and the main ingredients of "Arbitrator" to Karl, and completed the last transaction at the "Justice League" party. .

The deal gave Hobert 320 pounds and Hugh 300 pounds.

Hobert told Xio and Fors that he was going on a business trip and would not be back until tomorrow, and then left in a rented carriage.

Xio and Fors watched Hobert's carriage go away, and Fors sighed: "What should we do? We owe Hobert more and more."

Xio smiled helplessly: "Perhaps Hobart doesn't care much about these things."

"He doesn't need to care, but we can't pretend we don't know." Fors secretly made up her mind that if one day Hobert asks her for help, she will do her best to help!
……

Hobert didn't go to the train station immediately, but went to the bank first. His current deposits are as high as 2834 pounds 7 soli!

Hobert was worried about carrying the money with him all the time or storing it somewhere, and it would be better to deposit it in the bank for safety.

Having deposited 2800 pounds in the bank, Hobert carried 34 pounds and 7 soli in cash.

If it does not involve major transactions such as buying a house or a car, 34 pounds of cash is enough for him to spend for a period of time.

On the train to Tingen, Hobert was still sighing: It is not easy to make money.

His goal is to save up to 1 pounds. With this money, he will have the opportunity to buy items with the "travel" ability.

He also thought that Audrey and Alger still owed him a sum of money, and he had to remember to collect the debt at the next "Tarot Meeting".

And he went to Tingen City today to help "Mr. Fool". After resting for so long, it's time to get up.

……

woo~
On the train to Cold Winter County, a young man with black hair and green eyes, exuding the air of a poet, was carefully reading the headlines of today's newspaper.

After a while, he put down the newspaper and looked at the gradually clear snow-capped mountains outside the window. He seemed to be talking to himself, or he seemed to be talking to the snow-capped mountains: "No wonder you couldn't even attend the funeral of Captain and Klein. It turns out that you have more important thing."

He put the newspaper on the chair, and the headline was Hobert's victory in the Workers' Compensation case.

And the young man reading the newspaper was Leonard who was going to the church for training. He looked towards the sky, as if recalling the time when he and Hobert faced the heir of the evil god.

Then he looked at the snow-capped mountains ahead again, as if feeling the long distance ahead for the first time.

……

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Hobert arrived in Tingen City. Seeing that it was still early, he went to visit Ulysses.

There was nothing wrong, so I chatted for a while and gave some small gifts.

Hobert has completely gotten used to the world's way of doing things, and is actively building his own network of relationships.

Hobert's visit made Ulysses very happy, and he planned to hold another dinner for Hobert, but Hobert hurriedly said that he was just passing by and would leave in a while.

At the time of parting, Ulysses said: "Elizabeth has always wanted to communicate with you, but she felt a little abrupt, so she took the initiative to write a letter to her when she had time. Her friend recently passed away, which made her a little sad. Help me enlighten her."

Hobert was slightly taken aback: "Okay."

He asked for Elizabeth's mailing address before leaving, and then went straight to the cemetery.

He had already known the general location of Dunn and Klein's graves from the correspondence with Leonard before.

After finding Klein's tombstone, Hobert quietly waited for the night to come.
