Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 570 Hobert’s Demigod Butler
Based on limited clues, Dunn made a very logical guess about this strange and extraordinary case.

He also roughly deduced what happened from the descriptions of this case by Raymond and others.

About three weeks ago, a black fog covered Mike's village. After the black fog receded, a pale white skeleton was left in the village.

The villagers have been dead since then, but they didn't notice this and continued to work normally.

Because the harvest season is not far away and the villagers are not very mobile, no one has ever noticed this.

That skeleton basically affected the corpses in the entire town of Lobi. Whether they were recently deceased or long-dead corpses, they all turned into living corpses.

It wasn't until the Special Operations Department got involved that the skeleton disappeared, and so did the influence.

It was precisely because of the restoration of the entire case and the combing of clues that Dunn finally guessed that the murderer would come back to check after learning that the skeletons were missing, and would even come back to try to manipulate the villagers' bodies again.

So under Dunn's organization, Helen and Elliot laid an ambush.

Just as Dunn expected, the black fog appeared again in the early hours of this morning, and the corpses of the villagers turned into living corpses again.

However, the Beyonders hidden in the black mist were very alert, discovered the ambush of Dunn and others, and left quickly.

Helen and others immediately launched a pursuit!The other party knew those uninhabited mountainous areas well, so Helen guessed that the Blood Worshipers were helping him.

I chased him until noon today, but still let him escape.

However, during the pursuit, some clues were discovered, which could quickly launch a new round of pursuit.

The reason why Hobert was called to help was because during the hunt, the Extraordinary from the Special Operations Department had a fight with the opponent, and Helen discovered that the opponent actually showed demigod-level abilities!

Fortunately, the second team had a large number of people and had Level 2 sealed objects provided by the Lord's Mansion, so only one person was injured but no one died in the line of duty.

Dunn pointed to the pile of bones like a grain pile: "Those should be some bones that the other party collected from the surroundings. I just checked and most of them are animals.

"According to divination, this pile of bones is closely related to the murderer, but the other party should have certain anti-divination abilities and cannot use these bones to divine the location of the murderer.

"But we can also use other methods of divination to find traces of each other."

The "Skeleton Lord" is not yet a demigod in the strict sense, but wherever it passes, some animals, insects and other creatures will always die.

Therefore, "astrologers" only need to divine this unnatural death to find some clues.

Hobert looked at the pile of bones and suddenly remembered something. He asked Dunn: "Have you ever heard of extraordinary creatures like the Skeleton Lord?"

Dunn thought about it and shook his head.

Hobert thought about it. Dunn was only an official Beyonder at the captain level "before his death" and should not have access to information at this level.

It stands to reason that Helen's level in the Gnosis Society is higher than Dunn's, but the intelligence of organizations like the Gnosis Society on the extraordinary world is much worse than that of the Zhengshen Church!Helen also didn't know the information about the "Skeleton Lord".

Hobert then explained: "I got information last year that there might be one, or a skeleton lord, in the South Colson area.

"And the Skeleton Lord's eyes are said to be one of the main materials for the 'Death' pathway sequence 4."

The "janitor" who died in the room where the corpse of the ancient god of death was parked, Hobert didn't know how long he had been dead. After coming to South Colson, he had not heard any rumors about the "Skeleton Lord", so Hobert Te thought it had left here.

Who knew that the "Skeleton Lord" was still hiding in the mountains.

Dunn nodded: "I see, it makes sense why the murderer still chose to escape even though he has the ability of a demigod."

During the previous roundup, Dunn, Helen and others had already realized that if the murderer was a demigod, there would be no need to escape.

After all, the Special Operations Department only has Helen, a Sequence 5, in the South Colson area at this time, and one demigod can annihilate them all.

So Dunn and the others guessed that the opponent might be a Sequence 5, but it was very likely that he had a Level 1 sealed artifact.Hobert was called here to deal with the level 1 sealed object.

Now that we know who the murderer is, it will be easier!
When the next group of people followed the clues and started a new roundup,

After a few discussions with the "astrologers", Hobert discovered that their divination results were not as useful as his own "correlation". After all, the levels were here.

So for the next action, it was up to Hobert to look for clues from the front.As the hunt continued, Hobert said to Helen: "After this case is over, I will apply for certain permissions for you.

"If you need a level 1 sealed object in the future, you can pray to the 'creator', prepare a 'gift' ritual, get the help of the corresponding sealed object, and after solving the problem, just sacrifice it to the 'creator'."

Helen was a little surprised, that was a level 1 sealed object!Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with the sealed artifact?
Then she shook her head and smiled: In that case, I will definitely die miserably.

So Helen nodded: "Yes!"

During the subsequent search, they discovered two more bone piles, but they continued searching late into the night and could not find the "Skeleton Lord" again.

At this time, Dunn's previous "map drawing" method came into play again. He believed that these bone piles must have some special meaning for the "Skeleton Lord".

Since the other party is a "lord", will these piles of bones prove that this place is part of its rule?You can try using the map again to find further clues.

After marking the positions of the three skull piles, I discovered the rules for placing the skull piles. Although they are in different directions, they have a common center point.

Everyone once again lamented the practicality of this method.

Dunn took the opportunity to explain to everyone that this method is only useful in certain circumstances, such as this extraordinary creature with territorial awareness, but it is not omnipotent.

In any case, everyone admires Dunn's experience.

It was already late at night. In order to prevent the "Skeleton Lord" from going out to attack the villagers again, everyone searched for it with lanterns all night long.

Extraordinary creatures at this level at least have the wisdom of normal people. They know that although they have been discovered, as long as they return to the territory they have managed for a long time, they are not afraid of those extraordinary beings who are only half-gods or below.

After climbing another mountain peak, we discovered a small town with pale white "lights" in the mountain col.

There seemed to be a lot of pedestrians on the streets there. If it weren't for the abnormal color of the lights, it would look like a mountain town with rich nightlife.

It's just that although this town looks like there are people coming and going, there is no sound at all, and there are not only "pedestrians" on the streets, but also some wild animals.

This made a term appear in Hobert's mind: ghost market!

When everyone saw the small town, everyone seemed to have the illusion that the small town also "saw" them!
With no time to rest, the Extraordinaries from the Special Operations Department immediately launched a surprise attack!

Forsi and Donna, who came with him, also joined the assault. Hobert winked at Forsi. Forsi understood it and kept protecting Donna, who looked quite excited.

When they got close to the town, a faint rancid smell wafted in. Everyone found that the "residents" of the town seemed to have encountered a foreign enemy, and they spontaneously organized to fight against the enemy.

Most of them are ordinary living corpses, some are still intact, some can already see the bones, and some dead extraordinary people are also mixed among them.

Helen, Elliot and others are ready for a fierce battle.

But just when the two sides were about to fight, Hobert, who was rushing at the front, suddenly pulled out his rapier and opened a "gap in the underworld."

Those living corpses seemed to have seen something terrifying that they had never seen before their lives or after their deaths. They turned around and ran away together!
But after running a few steps, they fell down in pieces and turned into normal corpses.

There were only a few living corpses left that had been extraordinary people in the "God of Death" path, but they couldn't even stand up under the pressure of the thin sword.

Helen and other members of the special operations department were stunned for a full three seconds before they seemed to have come to their senses and stepped forward to eliminate these living corpses that were still "persisting".

At this time, a thick black fog emerged from the ground of the town. Helen and others retreated back and stood ready.

Hobert stepped forward and said, "Everyone, leave the town and I'll deal with it!"

Helen sighed in her heart: Is this a demigod?An extraordinary battle was resolved by the other side.

While thinking about it, she organized everyone to evacuate the town.

Donna, who originally wanted to show off her skills, just ran along and ran out of breath during the charge. She didn't even touch the enemy's clothes and was about to withdraw from the town.

She looked at Hobert who was going deep into the town alone: ​​"I didn't expect that Hobert is already so powerful!"

Forsi on the side just smiled and said nothing.

Then Forsi also looked at Hobert's back, with some worry in his eyes.

But it's not that he's worried that Hobert can't solve the "Skeleton Lord", but that he's worried about Hobert's current responsibilities.The risks demigods have to take are greater than those at Sequence 5!
Hobert "distorted" the gray fog in the small town. A passage appeared in front of him, and he walked step by step into the black fog that contained the aura of death.

Hobert remembered that when fighting the feathered serpent on that island, it also sprayed a black mist from its body.

But when it comes to the level of angels, there is usually only gray mist around the extraordinary people of the "God of Death" path. This may be because the angels of this path are closer to the underworld.

Through the "twisted" passage, Hobert seemed to see the pale lord's mansion and a skeleton sitting on a throne with giant-like pale bones and a pair of scarlet eyes.

It seemed that with every step forward, the silhouette of the skeleton grew larger.

Hobert also exuded the majesty of the "Fallen Earl" and transformed the rapier in his hand into a normal sword form, holding it high above his head.

The skeleton's figure has returned to its original size, and the surrounding black fog seems to have faded a bit!

Hobert saw the skeleton sitting on the seat slowly get up, and then run away!

Hobert was stunned for a moment, and he indeed ran away!And he escaped into the underworld!
He then hurriedly caught up, used his rapier to open a "gap in the underworld" again, and also pursued him into the underworld!

He had already entered the underworld once while fighting against the feathered snake.

There are obvious differences between the underworld and the spirit world. First of all, the underworld is cold and biting, and it attracts a large number of ghosts as soon as you enter.

They didn't come to watch the fun, but to see if there was a chance to kill Hobert and then use his body to return to the real world.

Even if this is an Extraordinary who is not on the "God of Death" path, the body will rot after death, and they will have to return to the underworld a few days later, but those who can become ghosts really want to return to the real world and complete the regrets of their lives.

The ghosts here are not the same as the ghosts in the real world. The ghosts in the real world are basically extraordinary people, or involve extraordinary factors.

Most of the ghosts in the underworld are formed by ordinary people. They are the "residents" here and have lost most of their memories and the concept of time.

Theoretically, the God of Death can turn these ghosts into normal spirits and disappear into the underworld, but the God of Death has fallen long ago.

In addition to ghosts, there are various special undead spirits in the form of skeletons and zombies, such as Hunter and Maximil who have established a contract with Hobert.

Many natural spirits can also freely enter and leave the underworld, and their appearances are often strange.

Except for the Extraordinaries of the "God of Death" pathway, Extraordinaries of other pathways are very dangerous here.

But Hobert is different, because he has the mark given to him by Mr. Azik, so it is easier for him to move here than in the spirit world!
Even without Mr. Azik's mark and just holding his own rapier, the ghosts did not dare to approach him.

As soon as Hobert stepped into the underworld, he used the special mark on his body to mobilize part of the power of the underworld to find the Skeleton Lord, and then he "twisted" to catch up with him.

The Skeleton Lord seemed to realize something and quickly left the underworld!
Hobert also left the underworld in hot pursuit. There was no moon tonight. After coming out of the underworld, Hobert quickly adapted to the dark surroundings and discovered that this was the location of one of the bone piles.

The Skeleton Lord must have felt the suppression of Hobert himself and the thin sword, and was still running away.

"Weaken!" While adding negative effects to the opponent, Hobert "distorted" the distance again. The thin sword in his hand suddenly lengthened and pierced into the opponent's bones.

But the Skeleton Lord did not pause, and Hobert realized that this guy might not feel pain.

So he injected his spirituality into "1-109", and his right fist was covered with a layer of orange light: "Slaughter!"

One punch knocked the Skeleton Lord to pieces.

Hobert didn't expect the opponent to be so careless, and was about to step forward to crush the opponent's head and collect those scarlet eyes.Suddenly, the scarlet eyes quickly dimmed, and finally disappeared without a trace, and even the pale white light on its bones disappeared.

All this happened so fast, almost in the blink of an eye, the Skeleton Lord became like an ordinary skeleton.

Hobert even squatted down and inspected it. It was like a corpse that had been left in the wilderness for who knows how many years. Eventually, the flesh and blood rotted away, leaving only the bones.

Hobert frowned. Are there any specific conditions needed to collect the eyes of the Skeleton Lord?As long as the conditions are not met, nothing can be collected?

its not right!
Hobert then thought, even if he failed to collect extraordinary materials, there should be extraordinary characteristics precipitated, right?There is nothing now, which is very strange!
Suddenly, Hobert looked at the pile of bones not far away. The "astrologer" had done divination before, and these piles of bones were very closely related to the Skeleton Lord.

Hobert seemed to have thought of something, and injected his spirituality into "1-109". Two thick flames extended from his back, and soon formed dozens of fire crows, roaring into the pile of bones.

Call ~
The pile of bones was quickly ignited, and after burning, it emitted a dark green flame like a will-o'-the-wisp.

Hobert immediately used "Travel" to reach another bone pile, where he saw the Skeleton Lord standing up from the bone pile.

Hobert smiled: "No wonder the main material is scarlet eyes, or the so-called Skeleton Lord is just a pair of eyes! Wherever these eyes go on a skeleton, that skeleton is the Skeleton Lord.

"Well, that may not be right. You should have gone through some rituals or some other method to make those skeletons have a certain connection with you, so that you can possess those skeletons!"

The Skeleton Lord only has a skeleton and cannot speak. The teeth it opens up and down at this moment are enough to express its surprise: Did it discover this secret so quickly?
The two flames appeared behind Hobert again, and dozens of fire crows once again burrowed into the pile of bones in front of him.

The Skeleton Lord jumped out of the dark green flames, and Hobert stepped forward: "Use it!"

At the same time, he punched the opponent's head on the ground.

When the Skeleton Lord jumped out of the flames just now, its eyes tended to dim again, but Hobert's "utilization" ability extended the time for the Skeleton Lord to "transfer" to other skeletons.

Hobert quickly turned the head of the staff into a box with one hand. At the same time, he bent down and made a fist with the other hand to smash the skull lord's head. He picked up two scarlet eyeballs and threw them in as quickly as possible. in the box.

After a second or two, the Skeleton Lord, or those two eyes, seemed to finally realize that they had failed to enter the other skeleton.It bounced around in the box, but couldn't break through the barrier Hobert had set for it.

Hobert breathed a sigh of relief, finally catching this guy!
For him, with the rapier and Mr. Azik's mark in his hand, he has a lot of restraint against extraordinary people or extraordinary creatures in the "God of Death" path. It is not difficult to deal with a skeleton lord.

Even without these cheating advantages, Hobert is still half a level higher than Skeleton Lord.

But what Hobert didn't expect was that the Skeleton Lord could actually "resurrection".

Look at the skeletons scattered on the ground again. Because the Skeleton Lord could not leave just now, those skeletons still look taller and more powerful than normal human skeletons, and the pale white color on them has not been lost.

Hobert remembered that in the auxiliary materials, it seemed that the bone powder of the Skeleton Lord was needed, so he sacrificed these skeletons and the eyes in the box to the "State of Disorder".

After entering the "State of Disorder", the eyes became very well-behaved and honest. Hobert opened the box and thought about how to kill it, but he immediately realized that the eyes seemed to be already dead.

This may be a problem that the "God of Death" often encounters: How to kill the dead again?
Hobert smiled and decided to leave this problem to Dophis.

He returned to the real world, used "travel" to reach the third bone pile, and set this bone pile on fire.

Returning to the small town in the mountain col, Hobert told everyone that the Skeleton Lord had been eliminated, and asked everyone to pile up the corpses and burn them. Half of the extraordinary properties would be handed over to the Lord's Mansion, and the other half would be everyone's merit.

Although everyone followed the lord for half the night in the mountains during tonight's battle, they started working on this case early this morning.

Even Raymond and others started investigating this case a few days ago. When Hobert joined the operation, the case was almost sorted out.

None of these credits should go unnoticed.

Hobert's decision made everyone very happy, because this time he had harvested 11 extraordinary characteristics. Even if it was only half, if everyone had to share it, they would still get a lot of merit.

After all, this is not a battle of extraordinary people, just an investigation of extraordinary cases in peacetime.After burning the body, we returned to the Lord's Mansion. It was already late at night.

However, the cook knew that neither the lord nor the lord's wife had eaten dinner, so he waited for Hobert and the other three to come back.

Seeing that the fish brought by the servant was still hot, Hobert thanked the chef and the servant a few words. When he was about to eat, he saw the dead fish eyes on the head of the fish.

This reminded Hobert of being thrown into the "Land of Disorder" by him again. The Skeleton Lord's eyes suddenly became unappetizing.

After reluctantly eating a few mouthfuls, Hobert said to Forsi, who was obviously hungry and had already eaten half of the fish in a big gulp: "I plan to give the extraordinary material formed by the Skeleton Lord to Mr. Dopheus."

Forsi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't have any objections."

Hobert simply put down his knife and fork and talked about that past event: "Last year, Mr. Dophis and I explored a ruins and found a Level 1 sealed artifact in the ruins."

The so-called level 1 sealed object is the black dog spirit beast that is being imprisoned in the foggy town at this time.

"With our abilities at that time, we were unable to obtain this sealed artifact." Hobert only gave the general outline of the matter: "We agreed to explore together after we were promoted, but I met Mr. Azik and told him We explored the ruins together.

"Because of this exploration, I was very familiar with that sealed object. Later, I took advantage of an opportunity and obtained that level 1 sealed object."

At this time, Forsi and Donna stopped eating and were both listening to Hobert's story about the past.

It was only today that Forsi found out that Hobert and Dopheus had done some exploration together.

"I have always felt that I owe Mr. Dophis a favor for this matter." Hobert said: "At that time, I also found clues about the Skeleton Lord in the ruins. I wanted to give this main material for promotion to demigod to him. To Mr. Dophis, repay the favor.

"But I haven't found any clues about the Skeleton Lord in South Colson for so long. I thought I had to repay this favor in other ways."

Forsi expressed his understanding and was very willing to listen to Hobert's story about the past: "Now that it's all right, it's time to hand over this main material to Mr. Dophis."

Hobert smiled slightly: "I'm going back to Backlund after dinner, and I'll be with you tomorrow night."

When Donna saw the story was finished, she picked up the knife and fork again: "What do you mean by that sentence? Oh, yes, a fierce battle was avoided!"

Forsi blushed slightly, then looked at Donna dumbfounded.

Hobert glanced at her: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute."

After having dinner together, Hobert chatted with Forsi for a few more words and then returned to Backlund.

After taking a short rest, it was already past five in the morning.

He first used the "gift" method to bring the Skeleton Lord's eyes and a piece of the Skeleton Lord's skeleton into the real world.

Hobert found that those eyes were very honest even in the real world now.

Knocking on Dophis's door, the housekeeper of the Earl's Mansion had already gotten up as expected.

Hobert smiled and said, "I brought you a gift."

Dophis looked at the box in Hobert's hand and seemed to sense something: "What reward should I give you?"

"No reward is required." Hobert smiled: "I have already obtained the sealed artifact from the ruins outside Backlund City."

He raised the box in his hand: "It should have been yours."

The expressionless Dophis did not refuse, but simply said: "I am going to be promoted this morning and I need your help."

Hobert smiled and said, "No problem."

It turns out that all the other materials have been prepared, only the materials related to the Skeleton Lord are left.

Originally he was going to work at MI[-] today, but it turned out that Doves' promotion was more important, so Hobert simply took a leave of absence.

After breakfast, the two came to Hobert's study, and Dophis began to use the measuring cylinder and scale here to prepare the potion.

Dophis first added auxiliary materials into the beaker. The Skeleton Lord's bone meal was freshly ground. Even though it was ground into bone meal, it still looked pale white.

Hobert felt that this should be a very good spiritual material for the "God of Death" path, and said: "I still have some bones of the Skeleton Lord there. I can give you some more if you need them."

Dophis shook his head: "It's not of much use to me."

Then he explained: "The bone powder of the Skeleton Lord is much better than the mummy powder in terms of effect and experience, and it will be effective within a week after taking it once."

Hobert seemed to see a wave of gold pounds hitting him. He smiled and said, "This is the gospel of the nobles."

Then he had to say: "It doesn't do much good to me."

In this regard, the ability to "exploit" is much easier to use than these drugs, but in order to pursue a passionate experience, Hobert actually doesn't even use "utilization" very much.

Dophis continued to prepare the potion, adding 20 grams of the skeleton lord's bone powder, a pair of tentacles of the gray curl moth, a tricolor flower of the undead, and 30 ml of zombie brain fluid into the beaker.

Then he started adding the main materials, first adding a piece of snow-white crystal, and then Hobert saw the scarlet eyes of the Skeleton Lord.

But Dophis did not join immediately, but first waited for the snow-white crystal to dissolve.

Hobert reminded: "It's best to join in quickly, otherwise it will easily get into the surrounding skeletons."

"It can do this in its territory." Dophis explained: "There need to be a lot of corpses and skeletons around so that it can gradually create its own territory."

Hobert nodded slightly: "That's it."

After mixing the gray-white potion, Dophis held the potion in his hand and said to Hobert: "I need you to do me two favors."

"You said."

"The first is, kill me within ten seconds of drinking the potion!"

Hobert was slightly startled: "Are you sure this is to help?"

This is obviously sending you on your way!
Then Hobert recalled that the ritual for promotion to the "immortal" was to become a dead person.

When he saw this ritual before, he also guessed that some means might be used to become a "dead person" in the mystical sense. He did not expect that before becoming an "undead", he would have to really die.

Dophis continued with his request: "Don't let my body be too seriously damaged."

Hobert asked: "What does it mean to be too serious an injury?"

"For example, dismember the body and chop it into pieces, or..."

Hobert raised his hand: "I'm not that perverted."

Dophis nodded: "The second is that after I become an 'immortal', I will lose my memory, and it will take me the next month to recover some important memories.

"But I have left relevant diaries and notes. You have to take me to my room and let Selina take over my job for the past month."

Hobert asked a little strangely: "Can you get your memory back in one month?"

He remembered that it would take many years for Mr. Azik to gradually regain his memory!

“Only important memories can be retrieved in a month,” Dophis explained: “But as I die more and more times, the process of retrieving memories will become slower and slower.

"In addition, writing diaries and notes in advance will be of great help in retrieving memories."

Hobert nodded slowly. He realized Mr. Azik's strength. For some reason, the process of regressing back to the "immortal" must have been quite sudden, which left him without enough time to prepare.

"I understand." Hobert said: "I hope you won't forget how to read and write by then."

"According to some information I have seen, most of the time I will not forget some instinctive things. If I can really forget the ability to read and write after my first resurrection, it means that I am extremely talented." Dopheus said:
“But even if I forget to read and write, I will understand the meaning of the words after seeing them.

"I also left relevant teaching materials that could help me quickly recover my reading and writing skills. In the first few days, I just had to ask Selena to deliver food to my room on time."

Hobert nodded: In other words, the more you forget, the higher your talent?This reminds me of a certain scumbag named Zhang from Guangmingding.

Then he realized that Dophis had been preparing for today's promotion for a long time: "Let's get started! Don't worry, leave it to me."

Dophis took a deep breath and drank the potion in his hand with some solemnity.

Hobert stared at Dophis' Adam's apple and saw that after he swallowed the potion, he slapped his head in a 360-degree rotation.

Dophis barely struggled and fell to the ground neatly and twitched.

Hobert waited quietly for Dophis's resurrection. After waiting for more than ten minutes, when Hobert was almost doubting whether he had really beaten him to death, he finally saw the wound on Dophis' neck. Muscles and sinews begin to twist.

After four to five minutes, Dophis's head turned 5 degrees again, and his wide eyes regained some energy.

Then Dophis regained his breathing, tried to move his hands and feet, and slowly stood up to meet Hobert's eyes.

After staring at each other for a while, Dophis's eyes gradually became confused and frightened, and he opened his mouth: "I...ah, where, I...ah...you, ah, who..."

Hobert discovered that the other party had lost the ability to connect words together: "According to the theory you just said, your talent is very high."

Then he smiled and said: "Do you want to ask who I am? Have you forgotten? I am your father!"

Dophis obviously didn't quite understand what Hobert meant, and he didn't react for a while.

Hobert smiled: "You have such rich expressions now, which is much better than always keeping a cold face before. To be honest, I always felt that you were already a dead person before you became an 'immortal'. "

He stood up and gently put Dophis on his shoulders: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, I'll take you back."

Dophis struggled a little, but at this time he had no concept of using extraordinary power, so his struggle seemed weak.

In front of Dophis' desk, there were indeed many diaries and notes piled up, and there was also an open notebook on the desk, which was obviously the first one to be read.

Hobert pushed Dophis, who was like a child, on the chair and asked him to read the notes by himself.

Then he told Selina to pay more attention to Dophes during this period and report to him in time if there was any situation.

As for the other servants, don't let them get close to Dopheus for the time being.

……

It’s the last day of May in a blink of an eye.

On this day, a construction team came to Order Square and erected a tall iron pole in the center of the square with a pumpkin-sized light bulb on the top!

At this time, most people did not know the light bulb and thought that some new building was to be added to Order Square.

Some curious people asked, and someone from the construction team explained: "This is the 'Earl's Light'!"

Most people didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and thought it was saying that this new building was a donation from a certain earl.

After conducting preliminary experiments, the staff set up a canopy and seemed to be staying here for a while.

Until late in the evening, as darkness fell, the gas lamps around the Place de la Order were lit.

Gradually, Backlund's fog made Order Square become hazy.

Many people who had finished their day's work walked around the square talking and laughing after dinner.

At this moment, something seemed to light up in the middle of the square. It became brighter and brighter, and finally became dazzling.

The strong light it emitted broke through the fog, and the entire Order Square was illuminated. Compared with it, the gas lamp became as dim as a firefly.

Most of the people walking in Order Square have never seen the whole square at night, but this time they have seen it!

Even if you leave the square and walk down a street, you can still see the light in the square.

Further away, some even thought that the fog in Backlund was not too thick today, so they saw the moonlight tonight!
The first people to come to their senses were the people in the square.

Some of them panicked and hurried home with their wives and children.

Some were very curious about what it was and cautiously went to check it out.

It turned out that there were many people asking questions under the strong light, and there were staff members maintaining order and using a "loudspeaker" to loudly explain: "This is the 'Earl's Light', the light bulb that brings light to Backlund." …”

There are also product displays there, with many fist-sized light bulbs lighting up.

They are also very bright, giving the illusion that it is still daytime.

The staff shouted emotionally: "Buy the light bulb and hang it on the roof, and the whole room will be as bright as daytime!"
“Light bulbs are not expensive, they only cost 8p each! If you use them for two hours a day, they can last a year and a half.

"Please keep the receipt. If the bulb breaks within one month from the date of purchase, you can exchange it for a new one at our sales department."

Although he introduced it diligently, no one bought it. Everyone basically just wanted to watch the excitement and learn about this new thing.

Some people asked back and forth, asking if the light bulb burned gas?
Someone asked what electricity is?How to get it?

The staff patiently explained over and over again.

That night, Order Square was very lively. The display of large electric lights gave many people the feeling of watching a wonderful circus.

It was not until late at night that everyone noticed that the huge light bulb had not been extinguished.

The few people who know the virtues of a light bulb are very surprised: Why does this seem a little different from the light bulbs I have seen?
In the second half of the night, some residents around Order Square got up to go to the toilet, and saw that the lights in the square were still on!
As they went to the toilet, they muttered: "This is big news, it will be published in tomorrow's newspaper."

But the next day's "Backlund Morning News" did not publish that kind of advertising.

However, there was a piece of news about an apology that aroused the curiosity of many people.

The general meaning of this report is that an experiment on light bulbs conducted by the "Earl's Light" factory in "Order Square" received complaints from nearby residents.

Because the light bulb was too bright, it kept people awake.

In response, the "Earl's Light" factory published an apology to the residents around "Order Square" in the newspaper.

Then I briefly introduced this experiment, because new breakthroughs in the research on light bulbs have made the service life of light bulbs very long.
