Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 531 Hunting the Blood Admiral

Backlund, 62 Queen's Road.

Hobert looked at the pile of gold pounds on the altar and smiled. The income from this Tarot Club was not much. The total income from the two trading intelligences was 3300 pounds, plus an extraordinary material.

At the same time, he paid the "Hermit" and "The Hanged Man" 300 pounds each for intelligence fees, so the final income was 2700 pounds.

However, from the bounty of the two pirates under "Lieutenant General Twilight", after excluding Alger's commission, Hobert received 11000 pounds. According to their original agreement, Hobert's income was not that much. Alger He used part of the agreed income to make up an integer, which was regarded as a reward for old customers like the "Emperor".

However, Hobert felt that this was more like a gesture of goodwill. He was afraid that the "Emperor" would be unhappy that day, so he arrested the "Hanged Man" and collected the bounty. Although Alger was not offered a bounty, the "Emperor" ” doesn’t seem to know this.

Adding up the two incomes, the number of gold pounds on the altar is quite considerable, a total of 13700 pounds!
After praising the Fool, Hobert put the money on the desk. This time he did not go to the "Country of Disorder" to offer sacrifices, because now every time he takes out money from the "Country of Disorder", it will smell. Spend it again to avoid being discovered by Backlund’s royal family.

This is too troublesome, and it will be even more troublesome if you are in a hurry to use money.

He went out to ask Dophis to buy a safe, and specifically asked him to buy a larger safe.

Just as Hobert expected, before the safe was purchased, Loretta brought the bounty of "Twilight Lieutenant General" Bulatov.

Hobert met this member of the Nighthawks team in the living room on the first floor. Loretta, who was wearing a neutral outfit, said: "Because I failed to receive the bounty from the Fusac Empire, the total bounty has been increased. Up to 72000 pounds.

"When you received the bounty from the Republic of Intis, you incurred some expenses, but the Church of the Goddess of the Night helped you pay all the expenses, which is considered a thank you and reward to you."

As she spoke, Loretta pushed the check to Hobert.

Hobert took the check, confirmed the amount of money, and felt in his heart that using a check was not as impressive as using cash.

Putting away the check, he added: "If I hunt other big pirates, can I still collect the bounty from you?"

Hobert spread his hands: "You know, my territory is on the sea, and I will inevitably deal with pirates."

"Of course it's no problem." Luo Luota said: "For ordinary pirates, we can only help you receive Loen's bounty. For pirates like this 'Pirate General' level, we will win bounties from more countries for you. "

Hobert nodded, and he suddenly had the idea of ​​hunting the "Blood Admiral".

It has been tested before. Hunting a "pirate general" is not difficult for him as a demigod. What is difficult is finding those elusive big pirates.

And Hobert has a way to find the "Blood Admiral", which is equivalent to a lot of gold pounds floating on the sea!
So after sending Loretta away, Hobert was thinking about the feasibility of hunting the "Blood Admiral".

At present, the senior officials on the flagship of "Admiral Blood" are no longer his match. The key is that this guy deserves to be killed, and he can still earn a bounty, so why not do it?
So Hobert quickly made up his mind, went to Jeffrey's bedroom through the "Traveler's Door" in the bedroom, entered the oil painting and captured the spirit of the "Blood Admiral".

This is different from the previous ship fragments of Bulatov. Even if "Blood Admiral" Senior has the corresponding anti-divination ability, for spiritual divination, every divination is accurate.

Even Archibald-level anti-divination abilities cannot avoid this.

Hobert saw that he could complete divination with the "Faceless Man Necklace", so he prepared to act alone, checked the magical items on his body, and used "Travel" to enter the spiritual world again.

After turning around in Byam, Hobert began to use the "Faceless Man Necklace" to navigate, and finally stopped in front of a bloody scene.

Hobert knew that the "Tree of Flesh" must be outside. He used the "Faceless Man Necklace" to divine: "My next actions will be dangerous."

This is a technique he learned from Archibald. The divination words should be related to himself as much as possible, so that the divination results will be more credible.

After reciting it silently seven times, Hobert looked at the hanging necklace. The necklace was rotating in a clockwise direction. Hobert interpreted it based on the speed: it was dangerous, but within the acceptable range.

If the enemy is just a Sequence 5, there shouldn't be any danger, but I think Senior should also have corresponding trump cards on his ship.

Don't be afraid of that. In the worst case, you can throw him from the boat into the sea.

Hobert put away the necklace, put on the mask, and suddenly came out of the spirit world.

Senior, who had already sensed danger, was staring naked in the direction where Hobert appeared. On the bed next to him, there were two equally naked girls.

Senior, who had sunken eyes and two black beards, immediately disappeared on the spot after seeing clearly that the person coming out of the spirit world was the masked young man who had previously boarded the "Tree of Flesh".

Hobert immediately stretched out his hand: "Twisted!"

It was not twisted to a specific goal!

Hobert was slightly startled: "Flash"?Or entered the spirit world?
He crouched down to the place where Senior disappeared and took a look. It was an ordinary floor and there was nothing unusual about it.

Hobert smiled helplessly. Could it be that his hunting was going to fail?

He stood up and glanced at the two plump girls, and finally chose to ignore them for the time being. He was not here to save people this time. If he was sure that Senior could not be found, he could consider rescuing some people.

Hobert was about to go out to the deck to see if he could find the first mate of the "Tree of Flesh", but suddenly he realized that the door was missing!

When he came out of the spirit world just now, he clearly saw that there was a door.

Then the color of the cabin and floor quickly turned dark red, and a viscous blood-like liquid gushed out from the cracks in the wood.

A strong smell of blood permeated the entire room.

"what!"

One of the girls with darker skin suddenly let out a scream. Hobert took a look and saw that her hair was stuck to the wall. As a result, the wall seemed to be alive and started to drag her hair. .

Hobert stepped forward and cut off the girl's hair, which reminded him of the scene he saw at the bottom of the cabin of the "Tree of Flesh" last time.

He immediately said to another girl who was about to get off the ground and escape: "Stay on the bed and don't get off, and don't touch the wall!"

The girl obviously understood the Rune language and immediately pulled back her feet.

Hobert looked at the wall again and roughly understood that this should be the ability of the "Tree of Flesh", which could turn any cabin into a place that sucks human flesh and blood.

But how could a place like this trap him?

Hobert used a knife to cut an exit the size of a door in the wall, but to his surprise, when the dark red wooden board fell down, the outside was covered with squirming flesh, which looked like it was inside the body of a monster. .

Hobert stabbed it with the knife, but it couldn't be penetrated at all!
He took a step back and watched the flesh and blood squeeze in from the place he had just cut. In his mind, he reorganized the experience after boarding the "Tree of Flesh".

First of all, the "Blood Admiral" cannot disappear out of thin air. The general "resentful soul" can only hide in the spirit world and move freely there, but it cannot shuttle in the spirit world. Basically, it has to come out wherever it enters. , otherwise it is easy to get lost.

Once you reach the level of demigod, you can only travel through the spiritual world with clear guidance.

But recalling the scene where the other party blocked him from the spirit world, Hobert speculated that Senior should have the ability to "flash" on his ship, and could even appear in any corner of the ship through the spirit world. .

Hobert asked the two girls: "Is this Senior's flagship? Where did you come to this room from?"

The two girls were already trembling with fear from the flesh and blood squeezed in, and they didn't even have the strength to put on their clothes.

Hobert immediately exuded the majesty of a demigod, turning the fearful emotions of the two girls into surrender. They responded obediently: "This is the 'Tree of Flesh'!"

"We were sent to the captain's cabin from the lower level. The deck should be outside!"

Hobert was stunned: Since this is the captain's cabin and the structure on the ship, then there is a mass of flesh and blood like a sea monster wrapping the entire structure on the ship?

No, no!Hobert immediately realized that this place might no longer be on the "Tree of Flesh", but might already be in the belly of a spiritual creature.

At this time, the flesh and blood squeezed in from the opening had reached the bedside, and Hobert asked the two girls to lie down together like stacks of arhats.

He stepped forward, tied one arm around their waists, and easily held them under his arms.

The cooldown time for "Travel" has expired, but as Hobert expected, "Travel" is not used at all.

Hobert was not panicked. He had already thought of a solution: "Chaos!"

The flesh and blood in front of him suddenly stopped and was slowly retracted.

Hobert nodded slightly: My guess is correct. Since the opponent is a living thing, then using the ability of "chaos" can affect it, causing it to fall into a state of "chaos" and temporarily forget its purpose.

"Twisted!" After seeing that his tentative attack was effective, Hobert "twisted" the other party's intentions and thoughts, changing the other party's intention to devour those people in the room to letting them leave.

Then the flesh and blood quickly disappeared, and the blood that had reached the ankles also seeped into the gaps in the floor, and the walls gradually returned to their original color.

The wooden board that Hobert had just cut was probably where the door was. At this time, the deck, the sea, and the blue sky and white clouds on the horizon appeared outside.

He threw the two girls on the bed, and with a "twist" he was already outside the captain's cabin.

The two girls on the bed quickly shouted: "Master, please take me away with you."

Hobert glanced at them: "If there is a chance, I will take you with me." He knew that there were many girls with such tragic fates, and he could not save them alone, and if Senior was on them If you leave any clues behind, you will be in danger.

So Hobert put away his sympathy and still made hunting the "Blood Admiral" his first goal. If there was a chance, he would save him. If there was no chance, forget it.

The handsome first mate Nishizawa has already led the sailors to guard the deck.

Seeing that Hobert got out of trouble so quickly, Caesar was a little surprised. He immediately said: "The captain ordered us to hold him back as much as possible! Attack, take the initiative to attack..."

Before the other party finished speaking, Hobert rushed forward: "Fallen!"

The ferocity on the faces of the sailors immediately disappeared, and for a while they even lost the desire to fight, because they were already relatively depraved. Many sailor gods fell into depraved emotions, smiling obscenely, and could not extricate themselves for a while.

Only Caesar quickly let himself be surrounded by crimson moonlight, and he barely struggled out of his "fallen" state, but at this time Hobert had already arrived in front of him.

Caesar quickly "flashed" with all his strength. As a result, Hobert "distorted" the distance between the two people and caught up to him again: "Zoom in!"

Hobert magnified the punch he had thrown, and Caesar tried his best to avoid the vital point. The punch hit his left shoulder. He suddenly felt like he was hit by a cannonball, spinning and flying out, fiercely. The ground hit the cabin.

As Caesar was being blown away, he hit several sailors who were dazed on the spot. Their bones were suddenly broken in many places, and two sailors were even killed directly.

Caesar had been beaten to pieces, but he knew that he had to continue running away at this time. At the same time, he felt that his entire left arm was numb and had no feeling.

He turned around and saw that his entire left shoulder had collapsed!
Frightened, he immediately used his agility to avoid Hobert's pursuit.

Hobert simply didn't bother: "Twisted!"

Caesar was surprised to find that he actually started to charge towards the enemy!

However, he reacted quickly, quickly drank a bottle of potion, and then used the "Abyss Shackles" on Hobert.

Hobert didn't move at all, and the "Shackles of the Abyss" avoided him perfectly and landed on the deck at his feet.

This is the passive ability of "chaos". It can deflect attacks aimed at you to the side. However, it is only effective for abilities below the demigod level. Attacks at the demigod level can only be avoided with a certain probability. You still have to take the initiative to make the opponent's attack become more dangerous. "Chaos" is a safer bet.

Caesar's nails grew rapidly, with mysterious patterns growing on them, and his hands were surrounded by lingering black mist.

He could only use his right hand now, so he took the initiative to grab Hobert's chest.

Hobert ignored the enemy's offensive and kicked out: "Zoom in!"

Even if his kick couldn't kill Caesar, it could seriously injure him. But what Hobert didn't expect was that Caesar turned into a hazy moonlight.

This moonlight shattered not far away and re-formed Xize.

Hobert frowned slightly and chased after him again: "Use it!"

Sure enough, Nishizawa used moonlighting again to avoid Hobert's attack, but Hobert "used" the duration of moonlighting to end the moonlighting state early.

Just when the moonlight representing Nishizawa had just formed, the moonlight process had ended, leaving Nishizawa standing there in confusion.

Hobert slapped Caesar's head straight back.

In the crimson moonlight, Nishizawa, who was knocked out again, was still not dead. He turned his head right and wanted to continue to escape!
In the process of Caesar being knocked away, several sailors were injured again.

Most of the sailors had woken up from their "fallen" state at this time. Seeing that the first mate had no room to fight back, they still had no idea of ​​attacking and immediately fled!
"Weaken!" Hobert suddenly recalled the characteristics and weaknesses of vampires, so he "weakened" the crimson moonlight on the deck, used "distortion" to catch up with Caesar, and turned his right hand into a claw, from this "tree of flesh and blood" Behind the first mate, he stabbed his heart out.

When Caesar lowered his head, he saw his dark red heart still beating in the palm of his hand.

With almost no struggle, Caesar fell to the ground and died.

Hobert retracted his hand and shook off the blood on his gloves: "Extraordinary people in the Moon Path are really difficult to kill!"

The "Warrior" path and the "Hunter" path Sequence 5 with powerful attack power are not so difficult to kill, but Hobert was right. After the "Hunter" and "Warrior" lost their main attack capabilities, they It is equivalent to losing the greatest reliance.

The "Crimson Scholar" is not good at powerful attacks. When encountering a demigod like Hobert who is good at frontal combat, he will not be so helpless.

Then Hobert found two acquaintances among the escaping sailors, namely battle captain Oled and boatswain Gerner.

Hobert did not rush to find the "Blood Admiral", but hunted the two pirates, cut off their heads and Caesar's, put them into the prepared cloth bag, and carried them on his back.

In the end, the precipitation of the extraordinary characteristics of the three people was accelerated and their extraordinary characteristics were put away.

It's not that Hobert gave up on Senior, but he wanted to harvest the current results first, so as not to fail to hunt the "Blood Admiral" in the end.

The three heads in the cloth bag now are worth more than 1 pounds, so even if they fail to kill the "Blood Admiral" this time, it is worth it to have such an income.

Because the enemy's reinforcements could arrive at any time, Hobert was prepared to conduct a simple search and leave immediately if he could not find the target.

So he pulled out his knife and entered the cabin leisurely. Because he had gone in once before, he was relatively familiar with the environment inside.

Arriving in the hall that looked like a public activity room on the lower floor, where the sailors had already escaped, Hobert saw Senior, with sunken eyes, standing in front of the wine cabinet with some restraint.

Sitting in front of him was a man in his 30s with obvious skin color and facial features from the Southern Continent. The man was holding a glass of beer and drinking it leisurely.

He has delicate skin and bright hair, and every move he makes looks somewhat weird.

After seeing Hobert finding this place, Senior showed a slightly proud smile.

The man drinking beer suddenly said: "Señor's report just now was wrong. You are already a demigod. Well, I think your own 'confusion' affected the judgment of Señor and this ship." .”

Senor was obviously a little surprised. He clearly remembered that this masked young man was a Sequence 5!He has been waiting for seven or eight years, but there is no hope of being promoted to demigod. Why does this masked young man have the opportunity to be promoted to demigod so quickly?

Hobert slowly put away the knife: "I also remembered that you are a demigod of the 'Rose School'!"

In the previous battle between the Balk family and the "Rose School of Thought" in the southern continent, Hobert saw this demigod from the "real vision" and knew that it was a Sequence 4 "puppet".

The "puppet" looked at Hobert with some surprise: "You know me? That's right, you have our 'sealed artifact' and should be connected with the Balk family!"

Previously, Hobert had used "1-102" captured from the "Rose School" in front of the "Blood Admiral".

This is also the reason why this "puppet" can appear here so quickly. The "Rose School" realizes that the beloved of the "creator" has found it and wants to target Senior.

So they provided corresponding protection. By performing a very simple ritual, Senior could guide the demigods in the "Rose School" and allow them to travel from the spiritual world.

Hobert smiled and at the same time released the seals on his gloves. He stretched out his left hand and grabbed the "puppet".

After becoming a demigod, Hobert no longer needs to use the "Order Crystal" to seal level 1 sealed objects as before. He only needs to use the "Order Crystal" to control the power of the "State of Order" to seal the objects. seal.

At the level of demigod, Hobert's use of the "Kingdom of Order" in the real world has been enhanced, so the power displayed is no more or less, unless it is an angel or above being of the same path or an adjacent path. , otherwise it would be difficult to notice the specialness of the "State of Disorder", and you would only think that it is a strange magical item.

This made Hobert's process of lifting the seal much simpler. Like before, he had to take out the corresponding sealed object from the box made of the "Order Crystal", which would easily miss the opportunity.

Now it's very simple, you can lift the seal with just a thought.

The glove on Hobert's left hand is the Sealed Artifact "1-101" of the "Stealer" path, and the glove on his right hand is the Sealed Artifact "1-107" of the "Arbiter" path.

He reached out to grab the "puppet" to steal his extraordinary ability!

This demigod-level sealed object allows Hobert to choose the extraordinary ability to steal, and among enemies of the same demigod level, the theft was [-]% successful for the first time!
"Puppet" had also been wary of Hobert for a long time. When he saw him raising his hand, he immediately opened his mouth, but he didn't utter a single syllable.

However, Hobert opened his mouth and uttered a language that no one could understand. It seemed to be the most vicious curse in the world!
He chose to steal the cursed ability of "Puppet"!

"Puppet" was stunned for a moment, and suddenly jumped into a reflective wine bottle to avoid the curse.

But Senior did not have such good luck. Although he quickly changed into the state of "resentful soul", he still stretched out his withered hand from the spiritual world, tore off part of the "resentful soul" and then disappeared.

Amid Senor's cries of pain, he returned to his normal state, his left arm disappeared and blood was flowing from his shoulder.

Hobert took advantage of this gap and raised his right hand: "Possession is prohibited here!"

With this ban, the possession of the other party's "puppet" will encounter huge resistance, and Senior's possession will fail [-]%.

The "puppet" came out of the wine bottle and screamed at Hobert, while shooting several ice arrows at Hobert.

When Hobert was avoiding the opponent's attack, "Puppet" immediately said to Senior, who was breathing heavily: "Quickly summon Mr. Jacks!"

Jacks is a Sequence 3 "Silent Disciple" of the "Rose School of Thought"!
