Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 585: The Uprising of the Gnostic Society
Daly did not answer Hobert's question immediately, but looked into Hobert's eyes: "I need you to answer my two questions first."

Hobert sat on the side of Daly: "You say."

"Why are you helping Dunn?" Dai Li asked: "According to my investigation, you and Dunn only met in Tingen City, and only met a few times, but you are willing to take such a big risk." Help him?"

Hobert leaned back in his chair and smiled: "I didn't expect you to investigate me."

"As a friend, I will not tell the church your secrets." Dai Li said seriously: "But as a 'Red Glove', of course I have to make a comprehensive understanding and assessment of you."

Hobert spread his hands and said, "Well, that's your job after all."

He crossed his legs and said, "You have also seen that Backlund has always been shrouded in fog. In fact, not only Backlund, but the entire human world is shrouded in the fog of humanity and madness.

"However, there is always some light that can break through the fog and shine on the dark land.

"Dunn is that light, so I'm going to save him."

Don't ask too closely, just ask, do you believe in light?

Dai Li nodded slowly and was noncommittal about this answer: "Then what method did you use to resurrect Dunn? What are the side effects?"

Mainly because she felt that Dunn's temperament had changed drastically, which made her wonder, was that really Dunn?She has dealt with many cases where the attempt to use evil gods to resurrect family members resulted in tragedy.

The process of her getting to know Hobert and the extraordinary case she handled was that the Henrys wanted to resurrect their son, but their son turned into a zombie and the couple also died in the ritual.

"When Captain Dunn died, I asked the 'Creator' to preserve part of his flesh and blood, as well as his extraordinary characteristics and spirit body." Regarding this point, Hobert told the truth:
"Later I met an 'ancient alchemist' and asked her to use Captain Dunn's flesh and blood to refine a body, and then used extraordinary characteristics as a medium to fuse the soul with the flesh and form the current Dunn.

"It can be said that whether it is body or soul, it is almost the same as Dunn himself. Even he himself sighed that he did not feel any discomfort at all.

"Well, by the way, I also helped him treat his hair loss problem."

In the previous pollution incident at Boklon Villa, Daly and Leonard already knew that Hobert was the favored one of the "Creator" and could safely state the help provided by the "Creator" in front of Daly.

Hobert picked up the teapot and was going to pour a cup of tea for Daley, but he thought that the tea had already become cold, so he put the teapot down again: "As for the side effects, one 'Stone of Life' is consumed a year.

"But don't worry about this. I have a good relationship with the Church of the Mother Earth, and the matter of the 'Stone of Life' is taken care of by me.

"In addition, Captain Dunn's current condition is almost impossible to lose control of, but it is also difficult to be promoted."

He finally said: "When Captain Dunn first 'awakened', I asked him for his opinion on whether to be resurrected. At first, he really had no idea of ​​resurrection.

"It wasn't until I said that the people in the South Colson area who were being persecuted by some secret organizations at that time that they needed someone to help me cultivate a group of decent official Beyonders that Dunn decided to stay and help me.

"After living in this picturesque town for a long time, Dunn gradually fell in love with it, and his temperament seemed to have changed.

"However, I think that is a change for the better. At least I know how to enjoy life."

Dai Li fell into a long silence. After about two or three minutes, she said: "Just now I thought it would be fine as long as he lives, but I suddenly and urgently hope that I can live here."

She asked Hobert: "Do you think Dunn can accept me?"

Hobert spread his hands: "That's a matter between the two of you, I can't give you any advice.

"As a friend, I can only find a way to help you say goodbye to your previous life and stay here if you want to stay in South Colson."

"I'm willing to stay." Dai Li said immediately.

The previous separation made Dai Li cherish this opportunity very much. Even if she still couldn't be with Dunn, Dai Li would be satisfied if she could see him often.

"If you don't ask me, how can I let you stay?"

Dai Li smiled and said, "Do I look like I don't trust you that much?"

Hobert smiled and said, "Yes!"

……

That night, on the way back to his home after dinner with his students, Dunn saw Hobert on the dark street: "Is that Daley?"

Hobert smiled helplessly. When he heard the content of Dunn's lecture, he knew that Dunn used his spiritual perception to judge that it was Daly: "Sorry, I took her without saying hello to you." coming."

"No, I want to thank you." Dunn said: "I have thought about a lot of things during this period, especially in terms of relationships. I acted like a coward before."

Hobert said: "I can probably guess your mentality at that time.

“After all, you are engaged in a job where you may die at any time, so in order to avoid the sadness of the living people, you don’t dare to express your emotions.

"There is nothing about being a coward or not. It's just that you have seen too many life, separation and death, and you don't want the person you love to suffer that kind of pain."

Dunn did not refute, but was silent for a long time before asking: "Is she, is she okay?"

"She has been looking for an opportunity to avenge you." Hobert replied: "I brought her to see you because I learned that her next act of revenge would be very risky."

Dunn smiled bitterly.

"However, she has other plans now." Hobert smiled: "She plans to go back to complete her last mission, then say goodbye to her past life, and move here with a new identity."

Dunn looked at Hobert's back: "Thank you."

Hobert didn't look back, but showed a bright smile: "You're welcome!"

……

The next day, Hobert, who was in Backlund, learned that Klein, Leonard and Daley took an airship to the Southern Continent.

Of course, they didn't know each other's identities, but they just hitched a ride on the military by chance.

Not long after they arrived at the Southern Continent, Leonard first asked a messenger to deliver a letter to Hobert.

The content of the letter was simple. He contacted Klein and found clues about Ince Zangwill, and they were tracking it down separately.

Hobert replied: I also hope to participate in this revenge. If you find any trace of Zangwill, write to me immediately.

In the afternoon of the same day, Klein sent another letter to Hobert, stating that he had found clues about Ince Zangwill and asked Hobert to provide some help if he got his exact whereabouts.

Hobert replied: If you don't ask me to surround and kill Ince Zangwill, you don't treat me as a friend. From now on, I will beat you every time I see you!If the situation is urgent, pray to the 'creator'. If you are not in a hurry, just write to me!

After sealing the letter, Hobert summoned Klein's messenger, Reinette Tinichole, who was wearing a black dress and carrying four heads in her hand, and came from the spirit world.

After giving the letter to Him, Hobert said: "The cost of this letter shall be paid by the recipient."

Reinette's four heads said: "You... are indeed... friends, you are all so... frugal..."

……

Southern Continent.

After Klein learned that Hobert chose the "pay on collection" method, he was completely confused.

After paying the messenger a gold coin, he murmured to himself: "Didn't I write clearly in the letter? You need to pay gold coins to send a letter!"

……

Hobert in Backlund has also been very busy recently. In addition to implementing his investment, he is also constantly receiving new orders.

These new orders all come from his "shareholder group."

Especially on July 7, the big light bulb that had been on in "Order Square" for 12 days went out.

The middle class once again set off a wave of ordering light bulbs!

It stayed on for 43 consecutive days!This gives them confidence in the quality of 'Earl's Light' bulbs.

At the same time, the people around the "Order Square" felt very uncomfortable, and the entire square became dark again.

So on the evening of the 13th, when Hobert was invited to attend a small dance hosted by Earl Hall, the mayor of Backlund proposed the idea of ​​building circuit lights around the "Order Square".

Other congressmen and nobles who had just attended the ball also expressed their willingness to advance related construction plans.

Some congressmen also said that they would work hard to promote the installation of electric lights in their department!
So in the future, "Earl's Light" will receive a steady stream of business for street lights and government departments to install electric lights. This is the benefit of having a 'shareholder group'. This kind of government construction orders will come to your door. .

At the same time, a shareholder reminded Hobert that someone was already imitating the light bulbs and asked him to find a way to prevent counterfeiting.

This reminded Hobert: "This matter is very serious and must be handled properly!"

After finishing her business, Audrey, who was wearing a light green dress and showing off her youthful beauty, complained: "Since the start of 'Light of the Earl', you have become the protagonist at the banquet. I want to say something to you." It’s all become difficult.”

Hobert smiled and said: "I actually want to make a similar complaint, but that would be a bit irresponsible. After all, so many people have invested in 'Earl's Light', and I must always be responsible for their interests."

Audrey first nodded to express understanding, and then whispered: "Let's go out for barbecue when we have time. During this time, I asked the chef to make many kinds of barbecue, but it is never as delicious as the barbecue you made."

"No problem." Hobert agreed: "I've been craving for a meal lately.

"Well, let me think about it. I seem to be quite busy lately. How about Saturday night?"

"it is good!"

After enjoying the delicious food together, the dance ended quickly.The next day, Hobert announced something that shocked Backlund and even the entire Loen.

In the "Backlund Morning News", Hobert published this announcement: In order to alleviate the public's urgent demand for light bulbs, factories interested in producing light bulbs and wires can come to 'Earl's Light' for a price of 1 pound. 'Buy the craft of light bulbs and wires!
This basically amounts to revealing the manufacturing process of light bulbs and wires!
For a time, all the factory owners in Backlund couldn't sit still, and they spent money to purchase the three-year patent rights.

It doesn't matter whether you want to make a light bulb or not, just get the craft first.

Many shareholders of "Earl's Light" also expressed their confusion and went to the Earl's Mansion to ask Hobert about it, but Hobert didn't see anyone.

Hobert even refused all invitations to banquets, dances, salons, etc. Many people speculated that Hobert regretted making the light bulb process public, and some speculated that Hobert was brewing a new business plan.

In fact, Hobert is preparing to accept Jonathan and others. They are already ready and waiting to take advantage of the next blood moon gathering opportunity to revolt.

At that time, they will pray directly to the "Maker" and immediately flee to South Colson after the blood moon ends.

At that time, the remaining power of the Gnosis will come after you at any time, and the Witch Church will not give up.

Of course, Hobert would not place these time bombs on South Colson, which he regarded as his foundation. So more than a month ago, Hobert asked Kerwin to allocate manpower to build wooden houses on Dockyard Island, preparing to first Jonathan and others temporarily settled there.

If an extraordinary war breaks out, it will not damage the cities and towns that were built with great difficulty.

As for the attack from the Witch Church, it is not so easy to resolve.

Hobert was preparing to use this opportunity to see if he could trick the Witch Church in order to avenge the previous smog incident in Backlund.

There is a personal grudge here. After all, Hobert was beaten by the "Witch of Despair" Panatia, and he has always been brooding about this.

Although the "Witch of Despair" has been killed by him, he still has no favorable impression of the Witch Church.

Of course, the more important reason is that the entire Backlund and even the members of the Tarot Society may have forgotten the tens of thousands of people who died in the great smog.

But Hobert has never forgotten that street littered with corpses and the despair of people struggling in life are still very clear in Hobert's mind.

At that time, Hobert made up his mind that he must do something for those who died in the smog, otherwise he wouldn't even know what he was doing by becoming strong.

Although having the power of resistance in the apocalypse is a big motivation, Hobert does not hope that if he has too much divinity, he will be like those extraordinary people of the secret organization, without any warmth as a human being.

After the Backlund Great Smog Incident, Hobert permanently included George III, the Witch Church and the Aurora Society on his enemy list.

However, as a person who has received the education of "Confucianism on the outside and law on the inside", Hobert is well aware of the principle that "it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge within ten years", so he has not had an attack for more than half a year.

Now that Hobert felt that the time was relatively ripe, it was naturally time for revenge.

In other words, when he decided to accept Jonathan and the others, Hobert already had a series of plans.

Later, I met the Tony family and the Tudor family's complete surrender, which gradually made this plan more secure.

The only question now is, if the Witch Church is defeated, will the Original Witch take action?

Regarding this issue, Hobert decided to pray to the Night Goddess and the Earth Mother Goddess before taking action to prevent the original witch from actually coming to South Colson.

As for the reward for these two gods, Hobert believes that if they just prevent the coming of the original witch, they can give them a level 1 sealed object. Hobert already has ten sealed items of this level, so it would be useless to "pay" it. No stress.

If anyone has a hard time with the original witch, Hobert will sacrifice "0-70" without hesitation to express his determination to fight the witch church to the end.

……

The time came on the night of July 7th. Hobert held Forsi who was already sleeping soundly in his arms. He was about to think about Longtail Island when he suddenly looked out the window with a spiritual feeling.

The Crimson Moon is rapidly becoming redder, which is the signal for Jonathan and others to "uprising"!

Forsi's spirituality was also touched, and he sat up suddenly. His mature and beautiful body was revealed in front of Hobert: "It's the blood moon!"

"That's right!" Hobert had already stood up, quickly put on his clothes, and picked up his cane: "I have to go get ready quickly, and I can't stay with you anymore."

After saying that, he quickly kissed Forsi on the forehead and disappeared into the bedroom of Green Manor.

Forsi also quickly arranged her hair, put on a pajamas, and was always ready to pray to the "creator".

……

Hobert did not go far and came to the study of the Lord's Mansion. As soon as he asked the butler Allen to act according to the previous plan, he heard the prayers from the "Country of Disorder".

In order to ensure that there would be no mistakes on this day, Hobert informed the butler Allen in advance, who should be invited to take charge of the situation, what corresponding preparations should be made, etc.

But of course Hobert won't tell Allen the entire plan, just what he needs to do.

Entering the "Land of Disorder" and sitting on the "Iron Throne", Hobert saw three strange stars appear in the pool in front of him.

Hobert immediately spread his spirituality to the first strange star, and he saw Jonathan praying to the "Maker".

Gnosis has a routine. When they realize that the blood moon is about to happen, Jonathan and other demigods, as well as the "travelers", will quickly use "travel" to gather family members together as much as possible.

Only by doing this can the original witch effectively protect them during the blood moon. When she did not do this at the beginning, many family members failed to receive any protection during the blood moon.

Hobert can probably guess the reason behind this incident: It takes some time to block the blood moon's whispers each time. If it is a true god, it can protect hundreds of people at the same time.But the original witch was in a very bad state, and some of her abilities were not as good as those of the True God, so she could only protect some people.

For Extraordinaries of other paths, it is almost impossible to do this, but for members of the Abraham family, it is not difficult to do this.

First of all, the extraordinary people in this path have very high spirituality. As long as the crimson moon changes, they will be able to sense it. Especially these "mid-sequence" extraordinary people such as Jonathan, they will be able to sense the blood moon before it begins to form. .

After that, they will immediately start to "transport" family members. "Traveler" can take two people into the spirit world at a time, and Jonathan can take ten people into the spirit world.

As for sequence 6, it is also common to record several "trips" in advance and use them at this time.

Therefore, it would not take long for the members of the Gnosis Society in a certain area to gather together.

The preparations that Jonathan mentioned before were to transfer family members who have the intention of "uprising" to the "jurisdiction" of the three demigods who participated in the uprising for legitimate reasons, and to use as many family members as possible Arrangements are made for South Colson for the right reasons.

Of course, in order to keep it secret, Jonathan only informed the other two demigods about the uprising. The others only knew roughly that they wanted to leave the Witch Church, but they did not know how to leave.

In addition, several "Pain Witches" who also wanted to leave the Witch Church did not know the details. Jonathan promised to inform them when there was an uprising.

However, for the sake of safety, I must move my family members away before notifying them, in case there are people among them who are loyal to the Witch Church.

So Hobert saw from the real vision that there were dozens of members of the Abraham family beside Jonathan.

In order to give them enough shock, Hobert simply let the figure of the "creator" appear above their heads.

……

The crimson moon gradually turned blood red, and that murmur seemed to appear in my ears all the time.

Surrounded by everyone, Jonathan prayed to the "Creator" over and over again. The surrounding family members were very nervous!

Suddenly, everyone seemed to realize something spiritually and looked above their heads together.

A solid figure appeared in mid-air. The figure was sitting on a throne made of sharp swords. He was wearing an armor that emitted black sacred light, and wore a crown that also emitted sacred light. Unfortunately, he couldn't see clearly. From his face, he could only see his eyes flashing with black mist!
He is exuding divine brilliance, as if he can end all chaos, and he seems to be able to bring about complete chaos.

This scene was also very shocking to Jonathan. He had received several "oracles", but basically he could only feel tremendous pressure and could not see any images at all.

Therefore, Jonathan's image of God was actually very vague. At this moment, he and other family members realized that the image of God was so majestic and holy.

At this time, a huge sense of oppression came over, and the complete majesty shocked everyone's hearts!
The majestic aura exuded by the "creator" makes people lower their heads unconsciously and want to surrender unconsciously.

Soon, the oppressive feeling disappeared, and everyone looked at the top of their heads in confusion, and sure enough, there was nothing.

Many people suddenly became a little hesitant and uneasy, as if they had lost the protection they deserved.

After about half a minute, a family member pointed out the window and said, "Look, the blood moon has been formed!"

But there was no gibbering in their ears.

"Praise the Creator!" I don't know who suddenly said!

This praise was echoed by everyone: "Praise the creator!"

……

Hobert used this half minute to spread spirituality to the other two stars. In addition to making the image of the "creator" appear, he also used "tampering + distortion" to change the density of spirituality around them. To support the spread of nonsense.

Since Forsi didn't need to show the image of the "creator", it only took her two seconds to get rid of the blood moon.

This blood moon was shorter, lasting only about 20 minutes. Hobert was always paying attention to the situation of Jonathan and others. It was not until the end of the blood moon that Hobert returned to the real world.

With Hobert's advance arrangements, Allen had already sent people to invite Mayor Kerwin and Vice Mayor Donna, and organized the corresponding manpower to handle the reception.

So when Hobert came to the front yard, it was already brightly lit.

Hobert sat on the chair prepared for him in front of the main hall door. Forsi also came over at this time and sat next to Hobert.

At this time, Jonathan appeared in the center of the courtyard with the first group of revolting Gnostic Society members.
