Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 567 Bernadette’s fourth question to the Fool

As for the ability of the sealed object obtained from the Feathered Serpent, it is actually quite good: "It can cause the target's body to rot and its soul to be corroded; it can summon the 'Gate of the Underworld'; it can awaken and strengthen corpses and ghosts; it can make everything The vitality of living beings rushes towards the end of life, and withers away uncontrollably.”

Hobert named this sealed item "1-110" and placed it on the stone platform containing level 1 sealed items. At the same time, he sighed in his heart: Before I knew it, I had collected 10 level 1 sealed items. .

The level 1 sealed objects commonly used by Hobert now are the "1-107" that can use all the abilities of the "Law Mage" in a short period of time, which were seized from the Tamara family, and obtained from the "Black Knight" of the Aurora Society. of "1-109".

特别是“1-109”放牧了弗萨克帝国的那名半神后，让霍伯特具备了短时间就可以重创一名序列4的能力，“1-107”都不太用了。

Then, Hobert began to wonder, why was this feathered serpent on that primitive island?

After entering the "Land of Disorder", Hobert "recovered" all the memories about Adam, so he knew that the sigh in the tomb hall and the person who asked him questions were Adam.

Fortunately, he had prepared corresponding responses in advance and made Adam worry enough about the "Creator" so that he did not hurt them. Otherwise, with just a thought from him, Hobert and the other three would have died from various coincidences. among.

For example, the creature in the spirit world at that time happened to want to say hello to Hobert and the others. For example, there were a few Sequence 3 extraordinary creatures wandering outside that happened to find a secret passage to enter the tomb hall.

Hobert smiled helplessly. In front of the King of Angels, the demigod was like an ant.

He took a deep breath and thought back to the conversation with Adam. He found that Adam seemed to intend to publicize the death of the ancient sun god to "The Fool", but the "Beloved of the Creator" was also on this expedition. , obviously not in Adam's script.

Hobert thought to himself: Brother Adam, isn’t the power of the “creator” powerful enough?Why don't you change your script?
Thinking of this, he smiled. He was not particularly worried about Adam's script. If Adam made the "development of the story" very unfavorable to him, or his life was in danger, he, who has become a demigod, can pass the "State of Disorder" " can sense it and can use the "State of Disorder" to respond accordingly.

Hobert's thoughts returned to the original question, what role did the feathered serpent play for Adam?
Soon he had a bold guess: Was Adam observing the state of the "Artificial Death" through the feathered serpent?Did He even gain some insight into the Night Goddess's plan in some details, so he began to observe the "Artificial Death"?
The Night Goddess' plan was definitely not "written" by Adam. After all, it was a true god. Adam could only affect the probability of success or failure of the Night Goddess' plan for the time being, but it was impossible to write a true god into his "story."

Maybe there is some secret cooperation between the two people. According to Hobert's impression of the goddess of the night, it is not ruled out that she placed a certain amount of bet on Adam's side.

After all, everything is uncertain now, and True God also has to consider hedging risks.

In any case, Adam was most likely observing the state of the "artificial god of death" through the feathered serpent. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he supported the side that should be supported.

Hobert took a deep breath and stopped thinking about this issue for the time being. In other words, the "creator" was not yet at the level to participate in the game of gods.

After considering this issue, Hobert looked at the third trophy of this operation, the extraordinary characteristics extracted from the semi-god-level curly baboon.

That is of course an extraordinary characteristic of the "Fallen Earl". Hobert checked it with the status of the "State of Disorder" and found that there was nothing wrong with this extraordinary characteristic.

Hobert guessed that there should be more extraordinary characteristics of the "Lawyer" path on that island. After all, Adam had held the uniqueness of the "Black Emperor" path and three Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristics for a long time. It should be Many of the extraordinary properties of this path have been attracted to it.

Unfortunately, that island was hidden by Adam.

After shattering this extraordinary characteristic, Hobert went to look at the bodies of the feathered snake and curly baboon. Unfortunately, they had no spiritual imprint on them and could not be reused.

It can only be treated as a normal semi-god-level spiritual material and given to the Church of the Mother Goddess of the Earth. Even if it is only treated as a spiritual material, it can be sold for at least tens of thousands of gold liso.

But because the South Colson area is currently not short of money, Hobert has no thoughts of selling for the time being.

The last three trophies are a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of the "Reader" pathway sequence 3 "Arcane Master", and a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of the "Corrupted Baron" and "Navigator".

You can consider selling the extraordinary characteristics of "Secret Master" to "Iceberg Lieutenant General", and keep the extraordinary characteristics of "Corrupted Baron" and "Navigator" for cultivating your own power.

After handling the trophies, Hobert returned to the real world to rest for a while. The next morning he went to Longtail Island in high spirits and went around to see how the estate owners were planting rubber trees.

At present, it takes at most three days for the manor owners to plant all the places where rubber trees can be planted, and it is expected that the size of the rubber forest will triple.

Hobert nodded with satisfaction, it would be time to kill him if he waited a little longer!
In the afternoon, Hobert came to the Green Manor again and participated in the Tarot Club with Forsi like last week.

The two of them were lying on the bed together again. Hobert first briefly described the exploration with "The World" and "The Hanged Man" last night.

We also talked about the current situation of Longtail Island and Conrad’s recent preparations.

At three o'clock sharp, the vision of the two people was covered by gray fog. When they came back to their senses, they had appeared above the gray fog, on both sides of the long bronze table.

"Good afternoon~ Mr. Fool." With "Justice" Audrey's unshakable greeting, this week's Tarot session officially began.

This time, Cattleya the Hermit brought three more pages of Russell's diary to The Fool. Of course, it was time for Klein the Fool to read them at the beginning.

The time span of this diary is very long, including Russell's longing for his hometown when he first traveled through the world, records of his great love for Bernadette, and teaching her two Chinese characters, as well as details about "blaspheming the slate". describe.

Previously, Russell had only briefly mentioned the "blasphemous slate" he saw in the "Twilight Hermits". This time, the diary contains the record of having just seen the "blasphemous slate".

According to Russell's description, what he saw was the second "blasphemous tablet", and he realized that he had only seen part of it, and there was still a part of the "blasphemous tablet" that was not revealed.

But the strange thing is that the 22 extraordinary paths on the "Desecrated Slate" are complete. He is also curious why he feels that the "Desecrated Slate" is incomplete?

Seeing this, Klein thought about the murals about the "blasphemous slate" he saw during this exploration: the ancient sun god once controlled the first "blasphemous slate", and his son Adam controlled the second "blasphemous slate". "Desecrate the slate", "Desecrate the slate" must have a very close connection with the ancient sun god!
Then he was surprised: Whether it was the church's information or the "Emperor's" description, the first "blasphemous tablet" had information on 22 extraordinary paths, so the second "blasphemous tablet" besides the first "blasphemous tablet" Is there any other information on the Blasphemy Tablet?What could this information be?
But he didn't think too much at this time. Klein glanced at the two Chinese characters that Russell taught Bernadette. They were: hometown.

These two words seemed to have magic power, making Klein's eyes feel hot.

Taking a breath and suppressing his inner emotions, Klein made the diary in his hand disappear and looked at the "Hermit": "What is your problem?"

Cattleya spoke respectfully: "Dear Mr. Fool, I want to know the meaning of these two symbols."

After getting permission, she manifested two Chinese characters.

Everyone was very interested in the symbols in Emperor Russell's diary. They basically memorized the shapes of these two symbols forcibly, and then waited for the "Fool"'s explanation.

Hobert saw it too, it was "hometown".

At this moment, a melody seemed to suddenly sound in his mind: A big river with wide waves...

There are also the squid in the watermelon field and the young man Runtu holding a steel fork.

He suddenly gave a helpless smile and found that he was like a wanderer who had been away for many years and had adapted to life in a "foreign place". When he mentioned his "hometown", he was filled with nostalgia.

Klein paused visibly. He finally understood why Bernadette chose these three pages of the diary, because they contained the protective symbol his father left for her: hometown.

The record about the "Desecration of the Slate" just happened to appear on a certain page.

After understanding this, he said: "Their combined meaning is: hometown, the destination of the heart and spirit."

At this moment, Hobert suddenly felt that a soft spot in his heart was poked. He felt that the spiritual distance between him, Klein, and Russell was so close, and it seemed that there was some kind of resonance.

Klein didn't explain any more: "You guys just get started."

"The Hanged Man" Alger first looked at the "Emperor": "As you know, I have the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Ocean Singer', the 'Erutologist', and the 'Bribery', as well as the eyes of a six-winged gargoyle." sell."

Because in last week's Tarot meeting, when Klein and Alger discussed exploring the ruins together, they communicated in private, so when "The Hanged Man" initiated the transaction, everyone was slightly stunned.

Cattleya even wondered if "The Hanged Man" was in a hurry to spend money and sold the extraordinary characteristics he had bought for promotion?

But because there was still an extraordinary characteristic of the "Reader" path to be sold, Cattleya realized that it was "The Hanged Man" who had been promoted and hunted an "Ocean Singer" and an "Ocean Singer" last week. "Erudition"?
Then she wondered: How did he do it?
Cattleya has been promoted to Sequence 5 for a long time, and she is not completely sure that she can definitely kill a Sequence 5. "The Hanged Man" has just been promoted, how come it seems that he has completed two extraordinary "mid-sequence" battles very easily? hunter's hunt?

As for the Sequence 7 "briber", it is not difficult for a Sequence 5 to deal with it.

Others were also a little surprised and a little curious. This should be the most arrogant transaction initiated by "The Hanged Man".

Hobert calmed down his emotions in time: "'Ocean Singer' is 8000 pounds, 'Erutologist' is 3500 pounds, 'Bribery' is 1200 pounds, and the six-winged gargoyle's eyes are 450 pounds."

"Deal!" Alger tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart. These more than 1 pounds, plus the income from selling the psychedelic wind chime tree yesterday, brought his income from this exploration to 16150 pounds!
At this time, Klein had also come out of the nostalgia for his hometown. He manipulated the "world" and said: "I have a Sequence 5 extraordinary characteristic for sale. It is the 'cultivator' path, the 'druid'."

The other members were slightly startled, Sequence 5 again? "Moon" Emlyn thought to herself: Am I the only one who has this illusion?Why is it that in this Tarot meeting, Sequence 5 experts are as common as carrots sold on the street?
Hobert said almost reflexively: "8000 pounds!"

Cattleya hesitated for a moment and then said: "I will pay 8500 pounds."

Hobert was stunned and realized that Klein had single-handedly sold this extraordinary characteristic in the hope of selling it to the Hermit Lady.

As the captain of the "Future", Cattleya has a deeper understanding of Frank Lee's hidden dangers than others, but she also knows that with the Church of the Earth Mother, the "Plower" Path Sequence 5 Its extraordinary features are so rare on the market.

So after hesitating, she decided to try her best to buy this extraordinary characteristic: at worst, she didn't tell Frank that I bought the extraordinary characteristic of "Druid". After he became a little normal...well, it couldn't be that day. .

In short, Cattleya felt that the opportunity was rare, so she paid an extra 500 pounds.

"The World" said: "Priority will be given to the one who can pay with gold coins."

Hobert spread his hands and said that it was difficult for him to get so many gold coins, so he gave up the bidding. At the same time, he thought: the food in Silver City is finally expected to improve.

Cattleya breathed a sigh of relief: "Please give me a certain amount of time to raise funds."

If it were 8500 pounds of banknotes, it would not be difficult for her to get it, but it would take time to collect so many gold coins.

"Okay." Klein then manipulated the "world" and said to the "Emperor": "I want to sell one copy each of the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Chaos Tutor', the 'Wind Blessed One' and the 'Detective', as well as the six-winged stone statue. The core crystallization of ghosts.”

He thought about it and decided to sell the six-winged gargoyle's core crystal, because he had no subordinates in the "divineer" path, so it was useless to keep it, so he might as well liquidate it.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was somewhat condensed.

Audrey even wondered: Did "The World" and "The Hanged Man" team up to kill an Beyonder organization last week?No, Hobert was also involved. The Hanged Man said "you know" as soon as he came up. It is possible that they shared the spoils together.

While other members were still immersed in thoughts such as "Where did they get these extraordinary properties?", Hobert had already started to make a price:
"The price offered to Mr. Hanged Man is the same, 'Chaos Tutor' is 8000 pounds, 'Wind Blessed' is 3500 pounds, 'Detective' is 1200 pounds, and the six-winged gargoyle's core crystal is 3000 pounds."

"The World" said in a hoarse voice: "Deal!"

Only then did the other members come to their senses. The two transactions in "World" made a total of 24200 pounds!
The "Emperor" paid out nearly 3 pounds for the two rounds of acquisitions!

Even Audrey lamented: Are large-scale transactions in Tarot Clubs so common?
Emlyn recalled the previous transaction between the "Emperor" and the "Vampire", but that was almost a long time ago.

Audrey seemed to realize something, and she asked "The Hanged Man" expectantly: "Are there any fruits from the psychedelic wind chime tree?"

She was basically certain that Hobert had private cooperation with Mr. World and Mr. Hanged Man in the past week, and Mr. Hanged Man should have gotten what he needed.

Alger smiled: "I was just about to tell you that I have got the fruit. 2000 pounds!"

"Deal!" Audrey agreed without even thinking. Judging from the digestion of the potion, she believed that she would be able to try for promotion in June or July at most.

Next, Klein and Cattleya also completed a transaction for the blood of mythical creatures. After the transaction was completed, Klein asked the dummy "The World" to say: "According to the previous agreement, the transaction is completed, and you need to pay me an additional payment. .”

Cattleya then asked: "What do you want?"

"The World" said hoarsely: "I want to see the Queen of Mystery. Don't worry, the matter is very simple, but I need her help."

Hobert nodded slowly: This is preparing to sneak into St. Samuel's Church!
Cattleya said cautiously: "I will try my best to facilitate it, but there is no guarantee that it will succeed."

When everyone was lamenting that so many deals had been concluded in this Tarot meeting, Derrick "The Sun" said again: "I need the magic potion formula of Sequence 5 of the 'Sun' pathway."

When the other members were silent, "The World" said: "I have the magic potion formula called 'Priest of Light', which is worth 5000 pounds. There is also a copy of the extraordinary properties of 'Priest of Light', which is worth 8000 pounds." pound!"

This came from a soul he released from the squirming hunger. Not only did he get the relevant potion formula, he also got a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of the "Priest of Light".

Audrey, who was sitting on one side of the long bronze table, couldn't help but sigh: Has the Tarot Society grown to this point?It can satisfy a member's need to be promoted to Sequence 5 almost instantly!
Alger also lamented: When the Tarot Club first started, apart from Mr. Fool, I was the only one with Sequence 8, but now transactions regarding Sequence 5 have become so frequent!
Other members were also a little emotional, feeling that today's explosive transaction seemed to have raised the Tarot Club to a new level!
"Little Sun" said happily: "Mr. World, I very much hope to complete this transaction with you."

He was a little confused: "But I don't have any gold pounds."

Hobert said at this time: "It's still like the last transaction you made with Mr. Moon. I'll pay for you first, and you settle with extraordinary materials."

"Little Sun" breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Emperor, I don't even know how to thank you?"

He decided that this transaction must give Mr. Emperor some more extraordinary materials!
Klein had no objection to such a deal. He manipulated "The World" and said, "No problem."

Emlyn sighed: Is the "Emperor" so rich?It's like he has endless money to spend.

Derrick seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said to the "Emperor": "Mr. Emperor, can I use extraordinary characteristics of levels other than Sequence 8 to settle the settlement? Silver City may not have that many reserves of Sequence 8 level extraordinary materials."

He made a rough calculation and found that he would need to pay for more than 40 pieces of Sequence 8 extraordinary materials this time. He might actually replace most of the Sequence 8 extraordinary materials in Silver City's warehouse, which would probably affect the normal operation of Silver City. operation.

"Okay!" Hobert said: "But there is something I want to make clear to you. I have my own sales channel. Sequence 8 extraordinary materials are very common transactions at extraordinary gatherings and are easy to sell. And a small amount of premium can be added, so I can discount it at 300.

“但是序列9和序列7层次就不一样了，序列9的非凡材料一般卖不上价钱去，大部分都在100到150镑之间。

“There are not many transactions for Sequence 7-level extraordinary materials, and I may have to backlog them for a long time before I can deal with them all.

"Taking into account the time cost and possible low-price selling, I can only convert the Sequence 9-level extraordinary materials into 100 pounds for you, and the Sequence 7-level extraordinary materials can only be converted into 500 pounds for you."

Although Hobert helped Derrick intentionally or unintentionally, he couldn't lose money to help. After all, there were so many mouths in the South Colson area waiting for the proceeds of the auction house to feed themselves.

With the re-establishment of order in South Colson, Hobert spends about 2 gold riso every month to maintain the normal operation of South Colson.

Coupled with the various current constructions, the auction house's money and taxes are simply not enough.

However, this situation will improve after the Tourism Festival, and Hobert is not panicked. He had previously reached a deal with Bishop Simpson of up to 8 gold riso, and that money has been kept in the "Disorder" "country" was not used.

Derrick nodded: "No problem!"

Derrick would feel better if he made the acquisition at a slightly lower price than the market price.

At this Tarot meeting, the dumpling-like transaction finally came to an end.

Then came the free communication session. Alger looked at the "Emperor" and "The World" under the long bronze table: "Can you share that mural with everyone?"

He thought that the mural might remind "The Sun" of something and get more information.

Klein also hopes to use this mural to attract the attention of other members, so that everyone can be more active in crowdfunding transaction information, so he said: "I have no objection."

Hobert also believed that it was time to trade this key information with everyone, so he also said: "No problem."

Other members also realized that the mural seemed very important, so they all looked at the "Hanged Man".

After obtaining the consent of Mr. Fool, Alger embodied the mural of the King of Angels eating the Creator of Silver City.

The bloody, evil, terrifying, and gloomy picture made the other members of the Tarot Club stunned.

Emlyn was a little confused: Who are they?doing what?Isn’t this way of dining too barbaric?
But soon, he recognized who the eaten victim was from the glorious cross: He might, probably, might be the Creator of Silver City.

Emlyn can figure it out, and the other members basically understand it.

Audrey felt like she had been hit hard: "Is that the ancient sun god, the creator worshiped by Silver City?"

"Yes," Hobert gave a clear answer: "This is an abstract depiction of the death of the ancient sun god!"
