Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 509 Captain Dunn decides to stay

Forsi on the side couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Jonathan, I'm curious, since you want to get a certain level of protection, why don't you go to the Zhengshen Church?"

"Because Mr. Door, whom we believe in, was sealed by one or more of the seven gods." Jonathan explained: "Almost every clan member has a premonition that one day he will be able to Mr. Men' will definitely be able to get rid of the seal and return to the real world, so it is impossible for us to believe in our enemies."

Forsi nodded: "I understand."

She said in her heart: I know this. Mr. "Gate" was sealed by the Goddess of Night and the Lord of Storms.

Then she thought: Although the members of the Abraham family of the Gnosis Society are stronger than the members of Teacher Dorian, they are also more extreme.

However, Hobert thought: "I previously knew that the Gnostic Society's teachings believe that the spirit is the essence of human beings, and the body is just a cage that binds the spirit. Knowledge must be obtained through spirituality, so that the spirit can gradually be freed from the body, and then pass through the tests of the astral body. , finally break away from the material world, return to the purest and truest self, and obtain eternal salvation.

"But I didn't study it carefully before. At first glance, this doctrine seems to be a reference to the "Rose School", or the "Prisoner" path. But if I think about it carefully, this doctrine is really not related to the Witch Church.

"Jonathan's words just now reminded me that they have always believed in Mr. 'Gate', so the teachings of the Gnostic Society can also be seen as a description of the growth process of extraordinary people on the 'Gate' path, or simply a description of Mr. 'Gate' description of."

"Your previous remarks were very confusing!" Jonathan smiled and said to Hobert: "We have convinced a large number of members of the Gnosis Society, and even many members of the Witch Church are convinced of your theory. !”

Hobert has previously published another explanation for the "Witch" path potion, and proposed that he actively move closer to the Orthodox Church, which is indeed very confusing.

Jonathan took full advantage of this, which was equivalent to screening out the group of members who were unwilling to continue to live in secret. These were like-minded members of Jonathan and others.

Finally, Jonathan said meaningfully: "The only thing we lack now is protection."

Of course Hobert understood what Jonathan meant: Can the gods you believe in give us such protection?
He said: "I will report this matter."

The implication is: I can't decide whether to accept you or not. I will report the matter to the "creator".

Jonathan said "hmm": "I'm waiting for your news."

He finished eating the rabbit meat in his hand, took out a towel and wiped his hands carefully before standing up to leave.

Hobert sat by the campfire and fell into silence, thinking about whether to accept Jonathan's group?
By accepting them, they will gain at least three more demigod-level combat capabilities, but they will also have to face the wrath from the Witch Church, and another angel-level battle is likely to break out.

It would be easier if he didn't accept it, but Hobert felt it was a pity. Those were three demigod-level combatants!

Another question is, can the "creator" be able to isolate Mr. "Gate"'s curse?This needs to be tested first. It would be embarrassing if Jonathan came with his team and found that the "creator" couldn't help them at all.

After thinking about it for a while, Hobert felt that it was necessary to accept this power.

For the "evil gods" who are related to the ruler, sooner or later they will establish their own country. By then, the extraordinary power in the country cannot be supported by the Balk family alone.

It is necessary to unite all the forces that can be united to form the extraordinary force of our own country.

If you go to poach the Zhengshen Church, you are simply seeking death!
We can only unite the descendants of angel families like the Abraham family, but these families have more or less problems.

For Hobert, the risks of solving these problems are high, but they are also opportunities. As long as he helps them solve the problems, he can gain their allegiance.

In the end, Hobert decided that helping was helping, but he should not rush this matter. He could wait until he became a demigod.

After eating a few bites of rabbit meat, Hobert and Forsi returned to the tent they had set up to rest.

Forsi wanted to know about Hobert's faith, but she also knew that it should be a very private matter. If there were any requirements like the Tarot Society that required confidentiality, it might put Hobert in a difficult position.

So she decided not to ask. Based on her understanding of Hobert, he would definitely tell her whatever he could tell her.

It was only when the two were getting intimate that Forsi put aside the problem and became focused.

Being intimate in the wild gives two people a new experience, allowing both people to fully enjoy the happiness brought by this moment.

After some passion, the two hugged each other and chatted as usual.

Hobert suddenly said: "As for my true faith, I haven't mentioned it to you before. That's because I have made an oath not to reveal that great existence to members outside my family unless I am preaching."

Forsi nodded slightly: I knew that was the case.

"But it's different now." Hobert lowered his head and kissed Forsi's forehead: "You are a member of our family, and you may need the protection of that great being for some time to come."

He said: "You should have heard of the 'Blood Emperor', right? Yes, it was the 'Blood Emperor' who established the Tudor Empire in the Fourth Age.

"Father Christine is a descendant of the Tudor family. Now do you know where Angus' cousin came from? Yes, they are all members of the same family."

Forsi was somewhat surprised. She hugged Hobert's waist before she felt enough reality: When I was trading information about the Tudor Empire in the Tarot Society, I thought these people and things were so far away from me. Far away, but unexpectedly very close.

This made her involuntarily think of the "Emperor" in the Tarot Club. When she thought about it carefully, she felt that the "Emperor" seemed to have a similar figure to Hobert.

But the feeling is different. Hobert makes people feel passionate, focused, and occasionally a bit bad, while "Emperor" feels mysterious, knowledgeable, and lofty.

Then she thought: I remember the "Emperor" said that he has many colleagues from the Tudor family. Doesn't Hobert believe in the "Founder"?

Forsi may not have imagined that the reason why Hobert said that at that time was to make his words more credible at this moment.

Just listen to Hobert continue: "Our family believes in a great god named 'The Creator'..."

Forsi hugged Hobert's arm tightly: It's true!
"But don't mention this matter in front of other family members for the time being, because this is not something that can be discussed in public." Hobert added: "You have also heard the order conveyed by the king's envoy. I will leave the territory on Saturday or Sunday to attend the National Founding Day celebration next Monday.

“When my father came to Jeffrey Town before, he warned me that something big was going to happen in Feneport City, and I guessed that this big thing would probably happen on the Founding Day.

“Starting two weeks ago, I have asked Philip to set up a company to divide and reorganize the industries in the territory to deal with possible accidents.

"After this inspection, you will start to take care of these company accounts. Although you are not allowed to do accounting, you must be aware of it.

"You must be careful while you stay in the territory. I will leave Archibald behind to protect you, and I will rearrange the 'Traveler's Gate' for you. You must promise to escape back to Backlund at any time.

"If you encounter difficulties or dangers that cannot be solved, you pray to the 'Creator' and ask for his help."

Forsi said worriedly: "If you just go to a banquet, what danger could there be?
"Could it be that your investment in the territory is too big and the royal family is jealous? If not, just give them these properties. It's just all the money. There is no need to risk it."

"In the eyes of the royal family, my investment in the territory may be the most inconspicuous issue." Hobert patted Forsi on the back and comforted him: "Don't worry, with my father here, I won't have too much trouble." The danger is there, but I guess I might lose my baronetcy."

"Just throw it away, it's just a title." Forsi was a little anxious: "Can I help you in any way?"

"Just sit in the territory for me." Hobert smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have a magical item for 'travel' that you don't know about. I can't be trapped anywhere."

Forsi felt a little more at ease now: "I really want to be promoted as soon as possible, so that I can help you share some of the pressure."

Hobert pinched Forsi's nose: "Didn't you participate in the battle against demons before? You have already helped me a lot."

He added: "Don't worry, after going to Feneport City, I will first go to see Bishop Simpson. At critical moments, the Church of the Mother Earth will also provide necessary help and protection. You don't have to worry at all."

Only then did Forsi realize that Hobert had been preparing for this moment for a long time, which made her feel relieved.

At the same time, she secretly encouraged herself to be promoted as soon as possible: in that case, she would be able to help Hobert, and he would only come to me for discussion if he had such a problem again, instead of leaving all the pressure to himself.

Amid Hobert's comforting voice, Forsi fell asleep with her heart in mind, and Hobert fell asleep immediately.

Towards midnight, Hobert was awakened by the call to prayer.

Who is so sick?
Cursing secretly, Hobert pretended to be in a hurry and went outside the tent to enter the "Land of Disorder". He unexpectedly saw an unfamiliar star in the pool in front of the "Iron Throne".

Spreading spirituality, this time it was a man wearing Loen style and palace guard uniform praying to himself.

This time, Hobert was not as surprised as last time. He realized that someone was indeed testing him. The person was probably someone from the Loen royal family. Was he George III?

Hobert thought about it and decided to ignore it, because if the other party just tested him like this, it would be impossible to find him, so there was no need to worry about it for the time being.

Hobert, who came back from the tent, meditated for a long time before falling asleep again.

The inspection continued the next day, and Forsi finally understood why the people loved Hobert so much. Without his actions in the past six months, I believe that the surrounding areas of Jeffrey Town would be as poor as these mountain villages.

At noon, the group returned to the manor where they had set out in the morning.

Only then did Hobert appreciate the scenery of this manor. As far as the eye could see were low hills, and the undulating ground was covered with green grass and dotted with some wild flowers.

Various insects are already busy among the flowers and plants. There is nothing spectacular or novel about the scenery, but seeing such a scene makes people feel very happy.

Forsi asked the servants to place a deck chair on the grass, and she basked in the sun comfortably, watching the spring wind and the playful Hobert who was galloping on horseback.

This place is indeed very suitable for horseback riding. On horseback, you have the illusion of conquering the land in front of you.

After riding for a while, the gloom in Hobert's heart these past few days was gone. He said to the guards and servants: "We'll go back at three in the afternoon."

After saying that, he lay down on the recliner next to Forsi: "This manor must be repaired..."

Forsi suddenly said: "I want this manor!"

Hobert smiled and said: "It belongs to you. When I come here as a guest in the future, you must treat it well."

"I'm not kidding." "I'm not kidding either." Hobert smiled: "I'll ask Philip to go through the formalities when we get back, separate it from the property of the Lord's Mansion, and transfer it to your name."

Forsi smiled sweetly: "Hobert, you are so kind."

Hobert smiled and pinched her face. Forsi rarely made such requests, so of course he would try his best to satisfy them.

Forsi looked at the blue sky and held Hobert's hand: "I really want to stay here forever and never go anywhere."

"We will see more beautiful scenery than here in the future..."

"No," Forsi suddenly said, "The scenery here is enough for me. If I see the more magnificent scenery you mentioned, I will be greedy."

Hobert was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Forsi: "We can't stay here forever."

"I know you can't stay here forever." Forsi said with a happy smile, "But I will stay here, thinking about you all the time, and waiting for you to come back."

She glanced at Hobert: "Hobert, not everyone has your ambition, and I don't.

"Actually, for me, being able to live with you in the territory is already very satisfying, but I know that I can't be your constraint.

"So I just hope that I can live in such a beautiful place with peace of mind. When I miss you, you just miss me and can appear in front of me."

If it weren't for that curse, if it weren't for wanting to help Hobert, she would actually have no motivation to advance.

Hobert said "hmm" and smiled: "You can live however you want."

The two of them smiled at each other and continued to enjoy this wonderful time.

But such time was short-lived after all. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the group set off on the return journey and returned to the Lord's Mansion in the evening.

After dinner, Archibald and Schill reported to Hobert the results of their first bandit suppression. They successfully defeated a group of more than 30 bandits on the east coast and seized a lot of loot.

Just like the previous gangsters in Jeffrey territory, these gangsters are, to a certain extent, the rulers of that territory, so they will have a lot of property.

Hobert asked in detail about the process of the battle, and Scheer also made a detailed report. Archibald was experienced in leading troops in battles and his judgment of the enemy was very accurate.

How to lure the enemy?How about an ambush?They were all arranged very clearly in advance, and they beat the enemy into confusion. With only seven or eight people injured, they killed 20 enemies and captured more than [-] people.

The more than 20 people were sent to the construction site. Of course, what greeted them was the fate of working as coolies for the rest of their lives.

Hobert was finally relieved to leave the task of suppressing the bandits to Archibald, and asked Schier to call the two soldiers who performed best in this battle. In addition to commending them, he also promised to make them extraordinary soldiers. By.

Hobert only told them three paths: "Hunter", "Warrior", and "Sailor" for them to choose.

……

On Friday morning, April, who had an appointment with Hobert in advance, took two servants and carried a wooden box the size of a coffin to the side hall of the front yard.

After closing the door, only Hobert, April, and the wooden box on the table were left in the side hall.

Hobert opened the lid of the coffin-like wooden box, and inside lay a tall man with a straight nose.

Exactly the same as Dunn Smith, the only difference is that the hairline is not high and the hair looks very thick.

Hobert smiled: "His old hair loss problem has been cured."

Aipuli was slightly startled: "No wonder, when this body was first made, there was not much hair. I thought I made a mistake somewhere. The reason why the hair is so thick is that I later found a way to make it They grew out of it.”

Hobert pinched his chin and said, "This is good news for middle-aged men."

Then he asked: "Is it enough to just merge the soul with this body?"

"You need to consume one 'Stone of Life' every year." April explained: "And this body will also age, and it can last for about six to seventy years.

"At that time, even using the 'Stone of Life' will not have any effect and can only re-refining a body. The premise is that his spirit body has not weakened, otherwise it will not be able to re-integrate.

"Besides, I have to carry out the fusion process."

Hobert nodded: "Wait a moment, I'll get his spirit body and extraordinary characteristics."

Quickly arriving at the study, Hobert excitedly sacrificed the "Psychic Wine Glass" to the "Land of Disorder".

He came behind the Iron Throne and opened the sarcophagus hidden behind it.

Lying inside was Captain Dunn's spiritual and spiritual body, which was sometimes illusory and sometimes solid.

Hobert has been using the "power of order" to seal the sarcophagus, so the spirituality in the spirit body has not been lost.

Hobert took the sarcophagus to the side of the hall's water pool and erected the sarcophagus. Hobert picked up the "psychic wine glass" and suddenly became a little nervous: What if Captain Dunn is unwilling to be resurrected?if……

Forget it, wake him up first.

Injecting spirituality into the "Psychic Wine Glass", invisible ripples spread out in the hall, and Captain Dunn in the sarcophagus suddenly opened his eyes.

He was a little confused at first, and then he saw the clear water pool, the spacious hall, the huge bronze door on the side of the hall, and the tall Iron Throne.

Finally, Dunn's eyes like a deep lake looked at Hobert in front of him.

"Hello, Captain Dunn," Hobert smiled: "It's great to see you again."

Dunn's memory still lingered on the operation to prevent the arrival of the true Creator in Tingen City. He looked down and found no wounds on his body: "I remember, I seemed to be dead."

Hobert thought to himself: If he said at this time: "Captain, you remembered it wrong." I wonder if he could get away with it?
"You did have no vital signs at the time." Hobert decided to tell the truth: "I took it upon myself to preserve your extraordinary characteristics and astral body."

Dunn held his chin and thought for a few seconds before asking: "Then, let's take action..."

"You saved the city of Tingen."

"No, it was us. We saved Tingen City." Dunn looked at Hobert: "You seem to be more than just a non-staff member of the Nighthawks team."

"That's right," Hobert smiled: "But I want to explain something. I am the favored one of the goddess..."

Right?
Then Hobert said confidently: "Yes, I am the favored one of the goddess, and I have directly received instructions from the goddess."

Hobert could feel that Dunn was very wary of him.

Dunn asked: "So, Mr. Blessed One, this is obviously not somewhere in the Church of the Goddess of Night, right?"

"No." Hobert replied: "I asked a great being to help me protect your astral body to prevent spiritual loss."

"Why do it?"

"Because I don't want you to die." Hobert spread his hands: "Or you shouldn't die, you saved a city."

"Is that all?"

"Kleon and Leonard don't want you to die either, and Ms. Daly doesn't want you to die even more." Hobert barely smiled: "I don't know if you can imagine that Ms. Daly is heartbroken. , looking like he drinks to drown his sorrows every day.”

Daley was indeed heartbroken, but Hobert didn't know if she drank to drown her sorrows.

Dunn fell into silence for a long time. He was thinking and weighing, and finally he seemed to suddenly make up his mind: "But I am already dead."

He looked at Hobert, put down most of his guard and smiled: "I have seen too many Beyonders who are unwilling to accept their own death. I don't want to be like them, so..."

Hobert was stunned for a moment, but then he changed his persuasion strategy: "Captain Dunn, the world needs you!

"And I found an 'ancient alchemist' and refined a body for you with a lifespan of six to seventy years. You will not become a resentful spirit, and your state will be as normal as before.

"Oh, by the way, I specially asked that 'ancient alchemist' to cure your hair loss."

Dunn didn't pay much attention to the last two sentences, but asked with a smile: "I'm not a big shot, why does the world need me?"

"You are wrong, Captain Dunn. You are the pioneer of justice, the protector of the people, and the sharp sword that punishes the forces of darkness." Hobert said emotionally:

"There is only so much righteous power in this world. Your death will be a major loss of righteous power and will allow more evil forces to breed.

"Yes, the world may not need you, but the kind people who are cornered by the dark forces need you, and the ordinary people who have been persecuted by the dark forces need you!

"Please stay and help them."

The hall fell into silence again. After a while, Captain Dunn suddenly asked: "What do you need me to do?"

Hobert took a deep breath. Colleagues and friends did not make Dunn decide to stay, and his lover did not make him decide to stay. He stayed for the justice in his heart and the people who needed his help.
