Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 209 Meeting Mr. Azik Again

Seeing Dopheus' ability just now, Hobert was sure that this was a Sequence 5 "Gatekeeper".

He was also a little puzzled, does Christine have such a great charm?To be able to make a Sequence 5 willingly pretend to be his servant?Or is there some hidden secret here?

Hobert simply stopped thinking about this issue, and began to describe the task of assassinating Bakerland.

After listening, Dopheus was silent for a few seconds before asking, "Is this assassination mission very important to you?"

Hobert said truthfully: "It's a matter of life or death for a friend of mine."

Dopheus was silent for a few more seconds, and then asked, "How much does the other party plan to pay?"

"10000 pounds."

Dopheus said in a voice that couldn't hear the joy or anger: "It's a little bit less."

Then he said: "I accept this commission, but I have one additional condition."

"You said."

Dopheus said: "Help me find clues about the Extraordinary Characteristics of the 'Undead' of the Pathway Sequence 4 of 'Death', or the main material. If the clues are true, I will let you choose a magical item from me, or pay with gold pounds." .”

Hobert was stunned for a moment, and the idea of ​​"the strongest manservant" appeared in his head. The personal servants of Christine's family were all preparing to be promoted to demigods. It looked so scary.

Hobert cleared his throat and said, "No problem."

He remembered that in Backlund, there seemed to be a demigod of the Reaper sect artificially created by a spiritual sect. He forgot the specific name, but Hobert remembered that he was a businessman on the surface, and he seemed to be running a garment factory.

For Hobart, it was a walking "undead" Extraordinary characteristic.It's just that the demigod is a by-product of the artificial Death God's plan. I don't know if taking his Extraordinary characteristics as a potion will be polluted by the artificial Death God?

Then Dopheus began to ask for some details about the mission: "Do you have any more detailed information about that Sequence 5 assistant next to Bakerland?"

"He is the Sequence 5 'Puppet Master' of the 'Seer' pathway. As far as I know, he has been busy fighting for a piece of valuable information in the past few days, and he is rarely by Bakerland's side."

"Is the information that Bakerland is a 'conspirator' of the 'Hunter' pathway can be confirmed?"

"It's certain."

"..."

After asking a few questions, Dopheus said: "I will observe Bakerland for two days first, and then do it in three or four days at most."

Hobert nodded: "No problem."

Dopheus is not a talkative person. After the task was handed over, the two of them really had nothing to talk about.

So Hobert talked for a while like a stand-up comic, and then got up to leave.

After leaving the tent, Hobert went to bid farewell to Jacob, and Jacob sent it out enthusiastically.

In the darkness, Hobert saw something hanging in the center of the camp, so he asked.

Jacques said: "That's the hares Mr. Dolphus caught from the ruins. He hung them there to attract the hare's companions to rescue them."

Hobert was taken aback: "This is the first time I've heard that hares will rescue their companions?"

"These rabbits are very intelligent." Jacob said: "And they are very big. As long as you look at them, the spirit body is likely to be injured."

He whispered: "Mr. Doves said that these hares have been polluted by underground sealed objects. They are actually monsters now, but there is no sign of getting out of control."

Hobert nodded, and then looked at the hare hanging over there, but the light was too dim to see clearly.

Then he belatedly realized that Dolphus didn't tell me about this just now, uh, how much he hates socializing and chatting!
The carriage that brought Hobert was still waiting outside the camp, so it didn't matter to the driver to wait, after all, it was billed by the hour.

On the way back to Backlund, Hobert began to recall the information about Backlund's man-made Death Sect demigods. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses ahead, and the driver seemed to have spent a lot of effort to control the carriage.

Then I heard the coachman yelling: "You, sir, although this is a suburb, you can't suddenly rush into the middle of the road!"

"Sorry, I was distracted just now."

Hobart in the carriage froze for a moment. It was Mr. Azik's voice.

He opened the car door and looked forward: "Mr. Azik, it's really you! It's getting dark, let's give you a ride!"

"I didn't expect to meet here again." Azik smiled and said, "No, I want to take a walk by myself."

Seeing that Azik was not dressed like a person living in the countryside, the coachman said, "Sir, believe me, if you go back to Backlund on foot, you will have to walk until midnight."

Hobert thought to himself: This is not going to happen, I guess I will go back in a minute or two.

Then Hobert seemed to think of something: "Mr. Ards, let's go together, we meet again, don't you think it's a bit of a coincidence?"

Ards gave Hobert a deep look, nodded slightly and got on the carriage.

The carriage started moving again.

In the carriage, Hobert smiled and said, "Mr. Ards, you should be able to tell that I am a person with magical abilities, and I can also feel your difference."

Azik nodded slowly: "You are right."

"As I said just now, based on what I know, if two people always meet by chance, it must mean something. Maybe you can help me, maybe I can give you some clues."

Azik frowned: "What can I help you with? Or can you provide me with any clues?"

Hobert spread his hands: "I don't know either. After all, this is only the third time we have met."

He smiled helplessly: "Fate is always unpredictable. Maybe it will take a while for us to know why we keep meeting each other in the past few days."

This is Hobert's sincere thought. The two are Beyonders from different paths, so it stands to reason that they wouldn't meet frequently because of the "Law of Convergence of Extraordinary Characteristics".

It must be because of some other reason that made them meet frequently, but that reason was not even noticed by Azik, let alone Hobert's Sequence 7.

Hobert said: "I think it is necessary for us to exchange contact addresses. If there is an urgent matter, we can find each other in a short time."

Azik smiled and said, "You seem to know a lot."

Then he said: "Yes, if there is something urgent, you can write a letter and put it in the mailbox at No. 16, Wanbo Avenue, Hilton District."

Hobert took out a note and wrote down the address, and wrote down the address of the law firm to Azik.

After chatting for a while, Ards got out of the car and left, but the driver wanted to persuade him again, so Hobert had no choice but to tell the driver that this gentleman lived nearby.

The coachman couldn't help shivering when he saw the barren mountains and mountains around him.

When I returned to Backlund, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Arriving at Earl Hall's mansion in Queens, it wasn't long before Hobert got off the car when he saw Susie taking a walk.
