Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 291
The morning fog in Backlund is the thickest time of the day, making Backlund's entire winter cold and humid.

On Thursday morning, Hobert took a rental carriage to the Order Square. He looked at the people in the mist who had almost started to make a living, or the vagrants who looked like living corpses, and he was not in a very beautiful mood.

After he got into the rented carriage this morning, he realized that he already had the ability to "travel", so what kind of carriage is he still using?
But already in the car, and thinking that there are a lot of people in the Order Square, it seems too eye-catching to use the ability to travel, so I still have to take a carriage.

Recalling the astonishing thought of last night, Hobert was still a little scared. What if the power of the "Nation of Order" was injected into the corpse of the ancient god of death, and the ancient god of death came back to life?
Maybe this is the resurrection opportunity that "Phoenix" Greg Carrie has been waiting for?

Hobert rethought this issue today and felt that yesterday's thoughts were completely overwhelmed. First of all, what he injected was the power of "Order", not the power of "Undead", which was "incompatible" with Greg Carrie's approach.

The second is the power of order, which does not have the ability to bring the dead back to life like the setting in a web article that Hobert read.

At best, these powers can recharge a lifeless item, allowing them to regain short-term spirituality and vitality, but this is not life, it is just a loophole of death, and it will not produce wisdom.

Not to mention the resurrection of a certain ancient god, on the contrary, the power of order will block some passages for the resurrection of that ancient god.

After all, the death loophole found by the shadow of order, it is normal for the "Dark Emperor" to be resurrected, but the resurrection in other senses does not conform to the relevant order.

Hobert sighed: order has always been such a double standard.

While thinking wildly, they came to the Order Square. Fatty Oston and his six team members had already arrived ahead of schedule.

In addition to Hobert, a new team member, a woman in her 30s named Lina joined the team. It is said that this lady, who looks as pale as a dead person, has rich experience in ancient tomb exploration, or tomb robbery.

Hobert guessed that she should be a Beyonder of the "Reaper" path, but the exact sequence is still unclear.

After everyone was assembled, under the command of Auston, they boarded two different carriages, and a group of nine people officially set off.

There are many small extraordinary teams like this in Backlund, and they are mainly divided into two categories. One is the form of this mercenary team, which lives a life of fighting and killing, or like Auston's team, looking for The treasures of the extraordinary world.

One is the organization of teachers and students, the organizational structure is relatively loose, more like a mutual aid association.

Hobert was in the same carriage with Auston and Lina, and Auston said: "You two, although you joined our team on the first day, you are either retired officers, or have thousands of connections with the military. I believe you all know the importance of discipline in a team.”

Hobert thought to himself: Sure enough, the captain's authority must be confirmed first.

Lina on the side nodded slowly.

Oston added: "I hope that in this operation, you can carry out my orders without compromise. In many cases, this may save our lives."

Hobert smiled and said, "That's no problem, but I also hope you can understand that respect is mutual."

The implication is: don't plan to use me as cannon fodder.

Auston frowned, but thought of Hobart's strength: "It's fine." He didn't seem to hear what Hobart said later.

Auston then began to describe some of the details of the operation.

Following the clues, they found an ancient tomb in the mountains in the northwest of Backlund, and the specific location was almost to East Chester County.

Because there is no direct steam train there, it only takes about 6 hours to drive to Gengfang by horse-drawn carriage.

Hobert looked at his pocket watch. They set off around eight o'clock in the morning and would not reach their destination until two o'clock in the afternoon.

Then he sighed in his heart, in order not to reveal his specific strength, he could only ride the carriage with them.

It didn't matter when he didn't have the "travel" ability before, but now he has the "travel" ability but can't use it, which makes Hobert a little speechless.

After the carriage traveled for more than three hours, they began to enter the mountainous area, and the surrounding people gradually became thinner.

At around twelve o'clock, they stopped by the side of the road for ten minutes and ate some dry food or light meals.

The road gradually became desolate. At the beginning, both sides of the road were full of withered grass, and then there were grass on the road. Because it was already winter, most of the grass had dried up, and a small part still remained stubbornly green.

According to Oston, this is the road to the forest farm. After winter, it is time for the workers to cut logs, and the cut logs will start to be transported out of the mountain next spring.

So at this time the mountain is lively, but there are no pedestrians and vehicles on the road.

Until there are no more people in sight, you need to walk the rest of the way. Two coachmen will camp here to guard the carriage.

Everyone carried some necessary equipment and food on their backs, and continued on their way with almost no pauses. They were all Extraordinary, and each of them didn't feel strenuous with a large bag of equipment.

Soon everyone came to a hill with a good view, and they could clearly see a small basin in front of the hill.

This kind of terrain is very common in this kind of hilly area. The surrounding peaks surround a basin that can reach the end at a glance. There is a small river flowing through the basin, but it is a seasonal river. Now the river is very small and you can see the river water Several small lakes, or large puddles, were left on the river bed.

Auston, who was walking in the front, said: "We can be sure that the ancient tomb is in this basin, but we have been searching here for more than a week, but we have not found any trace of the ancient tomb."

Hobert asked Lina: "If we communicate with the surrounding spirits, can we find clues to the ancient tomb?"

"The probability of getting clues is very low." Lina replied in a cold tone: "Most spirits don't care about these things. If it's the vengeful spirit in the ancient tomb, maybe he will come to us without us looking for him. .”

Hobert nodded and said to Alston, "I will lead the way."

While speaking, he opened a black box and took out a bracelet with the characteristics of the Southern Continent.

This is the sealed item that makes it easy for the holder to encounter ancient tombs. If you don't take the initiative to use it, it has two negative effects: it is easy to be hated by undead creatures; the wearer will become more and more fond of telling ghost stories, and ghosts The plot in the story is easily encountered by the holder.

Being hated by undead creatures, Hobert didn't take it seriously, but the plot of ghost stories is easy to be encountered by the owner, which should be avoided as much as possible, so he will only wear it when he needs it most.

So Hobert led the team at the front, and one of the team members reminded him: "The road you chose is difficult to walk."

"That means we are on the right path!" Hobart walked forward while beating the dry grass that was in the way with his cane.
