Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 234 The Skeleton Lord's Clue

The notebook in Hobert's hand bears the signature of its former owner: Valentin Victor.

It's more of a lame anthology of ghost stories than a notebook.

The content of the story is very interesting to Hobart, for example, there is something that happened in the deep mountains of Severas County in the Kingdom of Loen.

In the deep mountains, there was a hunter who was very good at setting traps. Suddenly, from one day on, the prey he caught with the traps were always bitten by some wild beast.

But the strange thing is that this experienced hunter has no way of judging from the bite marks what kind of beast gnawed his prey.

A few days later, when the hunter went to check the trap again, he found that his prey had just been bitten not long ago, and he quickly located the trace of the murderer along the bloodstains.

After chasing for about an hour or two, the hunter came to the edge of a forest, and it was getting dark at this time.

In the deep mountains, the sun sets very quickly. As long as the sun sets on the top of the mountain, the surrounding area is like a layer of black veil.

The hunter didn't intend to just let the murderer go, and chased him all the way in.

The moment he stepped into the woods, the hunter felt that the mountain inside was extremely cold, as if there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him.

Just when the hunter was about to turn back, he found a towering tree with long branches and leaves, and the crown covered a large area.

The trees were covered with corpses, all of which were hanged without exception, and when the mountain wind blew, the corpses would flutter with the wind.

The hunter was so frightened that he sat there. At this moment, the corpses on the tree started to move. They raised their hands in unison, took off the rope buckle that hanged themselves, and moved quickly down the tree, rushing towards the hunter.

Especially a skeleton, which moved very quickly and chased at the forefront.

The hunter's desire to survive was aroused, and he flung off his legs and ran until late at night before he was able to escape.

When Hobert read the contents of the notes, he thought: If Forsi saw this story, after her processing, and then exaggerated the atmosphere, it would be a very good ghost story.

However, Van Lundin's words and descriptions are very plain, as casual as if he was talking about eating barbecue tonight, so the content is very interesting, but it is very lamely described by the owner of the notes.

The key is that there will be further exploration by Van Lundin. During the exploration process, he did not say a word, leaving only one sentence: It is suspected to be a sacrifice to the devil, many corpses have changed, and the skeleton lord has not been found.

This made Hobert immediately think of Dolphus. Perhaps when the "janitor" was about to be promoted, he always looked like he had no mood swings about everything around him.

There are seven or eight ghost stories similar to the above, and Van Lundin's footprints are almost all over the northern continent.

Finally, in Colson County in the southeast of the Fenepot Kingdom, Van Lundin found the real Skeleton Lord. He tried twice but failed to kill the Skeleton Lord. The second time he was almost ambushed by the Skeleton Lord .

So Van Lundin returned to the Kingdom of Loen and wanted to ask his teacher for help.

This is the end of the notes. Hobert could imagine that on the way back to Backlund, Van Lundin was attracted by the corpse of the ancient god of death, and eventually died in the stone chamber.

Hobert opened the map again, and the location of the Skeleton Lord was marked on the map, but it didn't look like a Loen map. He put on a windbreaker and went to a bookstore on the street to buy a map of the Kingdom of Fenepot. Come back for a comparison.

Sure enough, the map left by Van Lundin was the map of Colson County in the Kingdom of Fenepot.

Colson County is between the capital city of Feneport and the port city of Seville, and borders the small country of Marsin. The entire county is basically a continuous mountainous area.

Hobert nodded. In this kind of deep mountain and old forest, it is indeed easy to appear territorial creatures like Skeleton Lords, or undead creatures.

After confirming the location of the Skeleton Lord, Hobert folded the map, put it in his notes, picked up his cane, and left a note for Fors and Xio, telling them that they don't need to save dinner for themselves.

Then he hopped into a cab and headed home to Queens.

In the carriage, Hobert lamented that today's encounter was really wonderful.

Just thinking of this, his stomach growled twice, and he remembered that at noon, he was too busy looking at the spoils, and then he was attracted by Rex's notes, so he even forgot to eat lunch.

When we got home, just as Christine's family was having dinner, Hobert sat down and ate hungrily.

Donna wondered, "Hobert, are you so poor that you can't even afford food?"

Hobert took a sip of the wine, inserted a chicken wing for himself with a fork and asked, "Why do you think so?"

"I heard that you offended all the gentlemen in Backlund in the last case, so..."

"So you think no one is going to sue me?"

Donna nodded, Tyron also stared at Hobert nervously, but Christine and Mon Lisa smiled and shook their heads.

"It's nothing. The people who come to me to sue me will be waiting until next month." Hobert smiled and said, "I'm a 'well-known lawyer' now! My deposits are so large that it scares you to death! "

"Cut~ Liar, your deposit can't reach 1000 pounds."

Hobert was almost pierced by the bone of the chicken wing: "Donna, can you be a bit promising? Can 1000 pounds scare you?"

Donna said seriously: "Of course you can, you must have robbed the bank, otherwise how would you have so much money?"

Hobert suddenly realized that being in the extraordinary circle was more profitable than robbing a bank!No wonder the official Beyonders had to arrest wild Beyonders when they saw them.

Of course, the premise is that there must be a "helper" like "Nation of Disorder", otherwise it will easily become someone else's wealth.

While bickering with his sister, Hobert finished his dinner, and then followed Christine into the study.

Hobert invited Dopheus to come in together, and after closing the door of the study, he began to talk about the process of exploring the ruins today.

Of course, Hobert did not explain some of Mr. Azik's words and deeds.

After hearing that there was the corpse of the ancient god of death, Dopheus' eyes lit up, and it was difficult to maintain the state of "dead".

Christine said: "So, the person who explores the ruins with you should be at least a Sequence 3!"

If it is so easy to suppress the black dog spirit beast, at least it is a Sequence 3.

In fact, this is because Hobert did some "processing". If Christine knew that Azik treated the black dog spirit beast like a servant, Christine would definitely think that the angel had some schemes, otherwise if the other party was an angel If it is, they may not even look at a Sequence 7, so how could they get acquainted with Hobert?

Hobert pretended to be confused and said, "He told me that he is only a Sequence Four."

Christine shook her head. Knowing such a "sage" was an opportunity for Hobert, and he didn't plan to intervene too much.

In the end, Hobert gave the clues about the Skeleton Lord, but he found that when he said that the Skeleton Lord was in the Kingdom of Fenepot, the faces of Christine and Dopheus changed.
