Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 278 The Ancient Tomb of the Descendants of Antigonus
Hobert hurried to the Underground Theater just in time for the start of the Extraordinary Party.

He came here for no purpose, just to pass the afternoon.

The party still starts with team formation. The mercenary team that was looking for the treasure of a certain Extraordinary family came to form a team again: "We learned the approximate location of an ancient tomb through the clues we found, but we searched for a long time. The ancient tomb was never found.

"We now need friends who are good at divination, or good at finding ancient tombs to join our team."

The speaker was a fat man in civilian clothes, and Hobert was worried that the buttons on his stomach would be held open by his belly.

The fat man continued: "As long as he finds the ancient tomb and completes the next exploration, he can get [-]% of the spoils."

When Jacob formed a team to explore the ruins before, Hobert's strength was not good enough, so he didn't intend to get involved.

Hobert, who is now in Sequence 6, is very interested in the exploration of this kind of ruins. He asked, "What type of ancient tomb? How dangerous is it?"

The last time Fatty came to form a team, he planned to ask about it, but at that time, the relic dug by Jacob and the others had just shocked Hobert's heart, so he didn't ask.

Later, under the protection of Mr. Azik, Hobert gained a lot from the relics of the Duke of Trunsost, and he became more interested in the extraordinary relics.

The fat man said: "If you are interested, we can talk privately in the reception room after the party. It is inconvenient to disclose the specific information."

Hobert nodded: "I see."

He planned to find out later, as long as it didn't conflict with Christine's plan, he would go to the scene to take a look.

After Fatty's invitation to form a team ended, the team that explored the newly discovered uninhabited island also just invited new teammates at the previous party: "What we didn't expect was that some extraordinary creatures and some strange creatures were discovered on that small island." building.

"According to our preliminary judgment, those buildings have the style of the Fourth Epoch, but for some reason, those buildings were abandoned before they were completed.

"In addition, there seems to be a powerful, strange and extraordinary creature on the small island. We have failed to round up it many times.

"Because of the appearance of a group of pirates, we had to retreat temporarily, come back to find more helpers, investigate the small island thoroughly, and attack those pirates by the way.

"Friends of the 'Hunter' path can consider joining us. The specific harvest will be distributed according to work, and there is the guarantee of the mercenary club. Don't worry about our reputation."

Probably because of going to the Sea of ​​Madness, no one responded to this invitation to form a team.

The next few invitations to form a team failed to attract Hobart's interest, and there were no items that attracted Hobart's attention during the trading session.

After the party, Hobert came to the living room mentioned by the fat man. Including Hobert, there were five people who wanted to accept the fat man's invitation to form a team.

But Fatty only needs two people now, so he has to interview five people instead.

The fat man glanced at everyone, and then said to Hobert, "Young man, let's talk first."

Apparently he didn't take part in the Extraordinary gatherings of the Mercenary Club, and didn't know Hobert well.

After coming to the living room and taking a seat, the fat man said: "I must remind you that our expedition may lose our lives at any time, you'd better think again, do you want to continue our conversation?"

It was only then that Hobert realized that the fat man saw that he was too young and probably inexperienced, so he was the first to call him in to persuade him to leave.

Hobert smiled and said, "I have experience in exploring extraordinary ruins."

"If the sequence is too low, it is also very dangerous."

"Sequence 6."

The fat man looked Hobert up and down: "Okay, we can proceed to the next conversation, are you good at divination?"

"I have a sealed item, which is easy to encounter ancient tombs." Hobert said, "I also know a friend who is good at divination. What kind of cooperation method do you choose?"

The fat man was stunned for a second or two, apparently reassessing Hobert's strength: "Congratulations, you will be a member of our team for a while."

"Wait." Hobert smiled slightly: "I have to assess the risks of this exploration operation before deciding whether to join you.

"Please answer the question I asked during the gathering, what type of ancient tomb? Or, is the Extraordinary of that path buried inside?"

The fat man no longer hides: "It is said that the owner of the ancient tomb is a descendant of Antigonus. According to the clues we found, there may be some accumulation of the Antigonus family in his tomb."

Hobert immediately had the idea of ​​rejecting it. Although there was no evidence, he always felt that this path to the ancient tomb of the Extraordinary was probably a trap.

The reason is also very simple, the Extraordinary of this pathway and the adjacent pathways are generally old-fashioned.

The fat man may have seen Hobert's concerns: "The danger level of the ancient tomb should not be high. After all, according to reliable records, the owner of the tomb was a Sequence 5 when he died."

"Is the news reliable?"

"We can't play with our own lives!"

Hobert nodded, then he can also think about it, if it is Sequence 3 or above, that ancient tomb may be a part of the tomb owner's promotion ceremony.

He said: "If I find danger, I will warn you. But if you don't listen, I have the right to leave directly, and you can't stop it."

The fat man said, "Of course."

Hobert said again: "As for dividing up the spoils, I have the first choice."

The fat man thought for a while before saying, "You can only choose once."

Hobert nodded: "Deal."

At this time, the fat man introduced himself: "You can call me Auston, our new round of exploration will start next Thursday morning, and we will gather at Order Square."

Hobert nodded: "No problem."

It was only when he left the living room that Hobert realized that this would be his first time actively participating in the mercenary club's mission.

……

At the beginning of a new week, Hobert took a hired carriage from his home on Queen's Road to work in a law firm.

As soon as he arrived at the office, Viscount Glaint's personal servant came to see Hobart. In his suitcase were several potions that Hobert had ordered from Viscount Glaint.

Viscount Glaint listed a bill. The "decompose water" and poison that Hobert needed were naturally free, and Jessica's planned potion cost 26 pounds in total.

Jessica came over to pay, and after the servant left, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect it to be the cost price."

This is much cheaper than other party potions, just don't know how it works?
After the afternoon, Hobert returned to Branca Street with an excuse as usual.

At exactly three o'clock, Hobert's vision was covered by gray fog.

When he came to the giant hall, he immediately found a new member opposite him: Miss Magician is online!
