Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 631 Some preparations for promotion

Returning to the real world, Hobert injected spirituality into the magic circle according to his previous experience.

The occult symbols made of small crystals lit up after sensing the spirituality, and then the pieces of gems began to shine brightly.

Finally, the symbol representing the "door" in the middle lit up, and illusory doors rose up around the array. Some dense mist flashed in the teleportation array.

At the same time, in the center of the teleportation array, it quickly turned into a black film like a bubble, and the scene on the other side of the teleportation array was reflected on the film.

Hobert saw Forsi, who was wearing a light yellow dress with lace trim and a surprised look on her face, and the wall of the warehouse opposite.

He took a deep breath and stepped into the teleportation array.

Different from "travel", the color in front of him suddenly turned into a stream of light, flowing behind Hobert, and he had arrived at Tutuga Port in the blink of an eye.

I didn't feel any discomfort during the entire teleportation process, nor did I feel like I was passing through the spiritual world, but it was a bit like the time and space journey in Hobert's imagination.

"Successful!" Forsi smiled.

Hobert also laughed and said, "Successful!"

He took Forsi to Longwei Port through the teleportation array. Forsi was very curious about this feeling: "How many people can pass through at one time?"

Hobert felt it spiritually: "200 people won't be a problem."

It may be that the power of the "State of Disorder" is not as good as the power of Mr. "Gate" after all. The scale of space that this teleportation array can teleport is much smaller than what was previously encountered on another planet.

Hobert felt that this should have something to do with his own level being too low, and the level of the extraordinary characteristics of the "Mystic Master" who provided guidance being too low. He only achieved his goal by raising the level of the "State of Disorder".

As long as the first transmission is successful, the teleportation array has a mechanism to automatically obtain power. As long as a certain "authority" is opened in the "Country of Disorder", every time the teleportation array is used in the future, it can automatically obtain power from the "Country of Disorder".

For Hobert, this small teleportation array is enough. It can teleport at least three train carriages at a time!

Then, Hobert taught Forsi how to use the teleportation array, and then used his spirituality to "measure" the transmission range of the teleportation array, and planned to make a steel cover on the teleportation array to prevent gems or crystals from being transported when transporting goods. knocked down.

It is also necessary to do some occult shielding in some key places to prevent the drawings of the teleportation array from being leaked before it is used for a few days.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the two people were still talking about the teleportation array while enjoying a belated lunch.

With the establishment of the first teleportation array, some of the goods stolen by pirates can be transported directly to Longwei Port.

After all, factories such as smelters and steel plants have been built here, and many ores can be smelted here.

For example, in steel, South Colson and Longtail Island have been under construction, and the demand for steel is huge. Even if the ores from the three iron mines on Longtail Island are smelted and then made into steel, it is far from being able to meet the demand.

Therefore, the demand for steel is usually transported from Backlund to the two places using "Builder Logistics".

Many of the stolen goods sold by pirates were bulk raw materials, including some iron ore.

These ships were all returning to the Northern Continent from the colonies in the Southern Continent or the Rhoad Islands.

Before there was a teleportation array, the goods had to be unloaded from the pirate ship, then loaded onto the ship on Longwei Island, then transported to Longwei Port, unloaded again, and transported to the factory by horse-drawn carriage.

With the teleportation array, there is only one loading and unloading step left. You only need to unload the goods from the pirate ship, use the teleportation array at the dock to reach another port, and transport it directly to the factory by carriage.

In addition, some goods such as cloth and daily necessities can also be digested on Longtail Island and South Colson.

One of the bad habits of the indigenous people is that they like to run around naked. To change this bad habit, a lot of cloth is needed.

The daily necessities retail industry in South Colson has grown to a large scale, and it has become a habit for tourists to go shopping in South Colson.

At this time, the products in the Industrial Zone on the west bank of Man Yue Lake can be sold almost as much as they are produced. Sometimes they are even out of supply, and some products are out of stock.

At present, the commercial district of Tutujia Port has been built, and a large number of daily necessities are sold every day. There is already a big gap in this area of ​​goods in the territory.

After discussing the distribution of supplies, Hobert and Fors began to discuss where to build the second teleportation array.

Based on the current production capacity and material characteristics, they finally decided to build the second teleportation array between Longtail Port and Crolier City in the southern continent.

Rocklear City was the first city run by the Balk family, and its light industrial base was built not far from the city.

But the current problem is that the southern continent is short of construction materials such as cement and steel bars, and some construction materials such as cement and bricks are already in surplus in South Colson.

In the past, excess materials could still be transported to Changwei Island, but now with the first batch of factories built on Changwei Island being put into production, there is already a trend of excess.

These excess building materials can be collected on Longwei Island and transported to the southern continent.

At the same time, a batch of goods from the Northern Continent plundered by pirates can also be transported to the Southern Continent for sale.

Finally, Hobert calculated the cost of the first set of teleportation arrays. Since a large number of gems were inherited from Rex, the cost of the first set of teleportation arrays was about 15000 pounds.

Very fine crystals and various gemstones are very expensive.

This was also thanks to Dophis's trip to the Southern Continent. Most of the gemstones were purchased from raw stones and cut by himself.

If you buy finished products, the cost will be at least 6 pounds!

In the future, at least four more teleportation arrays will be built. Hobert plans to ask Dophis to go to the Southern Continent again to acquire a large amount of rough stones, and then take out all the gems inherited from Rex, but four more teleportation arrays will be built. It also costs 12 to 15 pounds to set up a teleportation array.

Now that there is income from Tutujia Port, Forsi has strengthened his back, saying that all the money will come from Longwei Island.

Because such an investment can quickly recoup its costs. On the one hand, the delivery of materials is much faster, which can produce greater economic effects.

On the one hand, logistics companies and passenger transport companies can be formed to charge the public.

The previous "Traveller's Gate" was too narrow and had certain negative effects, so only officials and workers transporting goods were allowed to pass through.

The negative effects of the teleportation array are obviously much smaller. It can completely open up the traffic between South Colson and Longtail Island. In the future, it can also open up the traffic between the southern continent and the northern continent, with Longtail Island as the hub in the middle.

The two people were talking, and they were both a little excited, as if this beautiful blueprint could be realized tomorrow.

After finishing lunch, the two of them went to work on the teleportation array.

Hobert went to the foundry, which had just opened, and personally supervised the production of the steel cover. Because the workers were not very skilled, the finished product looked very rough.

So Hobert simply used his "distortion" ability to expose the true metal color on the outside of the two steel covers, and the traces of welding were also removed.

Forsi went to look for the first batch of people to operate the teleportation array. Spirituality at the seventh level of Sequence can link to the teleportation array, and they are not necessarily extraordinary people of the "Gate" path.

Therefore, Forsi's first choice was Extraordinaries who were relatively loyal to the Lord's Mansion, such as Extraordinaries from the military, Angus's team, Elliot's team, and the Tony family's team.

Helen's troops can also be considered, but the Extraordinaries sent by the Temperance Sect will not be considered for the time being.

During dinner, the two met again and communicated with each other about the afternoon's work. The steel cover had been placed over the teleportation array, and it was also covered with mystical aspects. Only the parts that needed to be injected with spirituality were exposed.

Once all the staff are recruited, it can be opened.

As long as it is opened, Hobert will also allow other forces to visit and inspect. If they also want to own the teleportation array, it is not impossible, and the price starts at 15 pounds!

Of course, Hobert thought about it for a while, and among the forces he was familiar with, Bernadette might be the only one who had such a need.

Other forces basically do not have multiple long-term strongholds.

After dinner, Hobert used the "Traveler's Gate" to arrive at the Lord's Mansion in South Colson. As if taking a walk, he arrived at the church on the mountain in a few steps.

At this time, there were still many believers doing evening prayers, and Hobert was also sitting on a bench in the church, as if praying with everyone.

The priest saw the arrival of Lord Hobert and immediately asked the servant to go to the backyard to inform Archbishop Simpson.

So the second half of the evening prayer was completed by Archbishop Simpson, who seemed very kind.

After nine o'clock in the evening, the believers left one by one, and the pastor and the servant of God also left at Simpson's signal. Hobert and Simpson were the only two people left in the church.

"I suddenly recalled the mood I felt when I saw the Bible of Life at Bishop Utravsky's place." Hobert looked at the Holy Emblem of Life in the church and smiled: "At that time, I was deeply moved by the teachings of the Mother Earth Church. Got me.

"Unexpectedly, we actually had the opportunity to cooperate later, and the prospects for cooperation are getting better and better."

Simpson also smiled and said: "Yeah, when we first started working together, I didn't expect that our complementarity would be so high."

"I will seek new development in the Southern Continent." Hobert began to get to the point: "If we can get a territory, I hope the Earth Mother Church can go there to preach."

Simpson's eyes lit up: "Of course the church will not miss any opportunity to spread the glory of the Mother Goddess."

If there could be another diocese of the size of Longwei Island, his title as archbishop would be worthy of his name.

But he quickly calmed down: "If you need help with anything, just ask."

"There are indeed areas where we need help from the Mother Earth Church." Hobert was not polite: "I have encountered a huge difficulty, and currently I need a body that is exactly the same as mine.

"When my difficulties are solved, I will end the life of this body without worrying about disrespecting life."

Simpson immediately said: "Leave this matter to me."

He currently has this ability.

"I have higher requirements for this body. Let's put it this way, it's best if my own spirit body can't tell which body is my own." Hobert emphasized.

This is safer, otherwise Hobert would simply ask his mother, April, for help.

Simpson said happily: "I will ask the church's Sequence 3 to help you shape this body.

"It takes a few drops of your blood, some hair, and your spirituality."

"I have prepared the blood and hair in advance." Hobert took out two small ampoules, and then took out a spare ampoule from his pocket and injected some spirituality into it, and used the "Wall of Spirituality" "Wrap this ball of spirituality and hand it to Simpson.

Simpson took three ampoules one after another: "Is there any requirement for the refining time of the body?"

"Give it to me when it's refined." Then Hobert will store it in the "State of Disorder" to prevent any spiritual changes in his body.

At present, Hobert has obtained the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 2, and has inherited the auxiliary materials from Rex, so he should make some preparations for promotion to Sequence 2.

After bidding farewell to Simpson, Hobert returned to the study of the Lord's Mansion and quickly set up an altar.

In the center of the altar, a symbol representing the goddess of the night is painted.

After placing fine sand beside the altar and lighting candles, Hobert began to pray: "The goddess of night, who is nobler than the starry sky and longer than eternity..."

“Thy devout followers pray for thy gaze;

"I pray that you will give me a magical item that can create a hidden environment for ten minutes."

A sense of tranquility, like the middle of the night, immediately filled the area around the altar. Hobert's spirituality felt that the altar in front of him seemed to be connected to a mysterious country.

At this time, the fine sand in the bowl suddenly floated out, forming letters one by one in front of the altar, and finally formed a sentence: It requires an extraordinary characteristic or sealed item that is not lower than the "spirit witch" level.

Hobert realized that the goddess of the night was asking him to find a vessel that would give him power.

He immediately thought of the "reward" given by the Goddess of the Night in order to let the "creator" remove the pollution from Dai Li and other Red Glove members when solving the incident at Boklon Villa.

That was a sealed object that matched the "Spirit Witch", and it could be used here.

Hobert asked, "What kind of sacrifice should I offer?"

It would be better to ask for the "rotten meteor", and Hobert can get rid of this trouble.

The letters formed by the fine sand in front of the altar have changed to a certain extent, and many more letters have appeared, forming a new sentence: In the near future, help me obtain a sealed artifact from the Church of the God of War.

Hobert was stunned, this was a bit beyond his expectation.

However, he immediately reacted: “As long as it is within my ability, I will help you get it.

"Thank you for the summons. I will pray to you after I have prepared the corresponding sealed items."

The sense of tranquility that could make people fall into deep sleep at any time disappeared, and the goddess of the night disconnected from the altar.

Hobert breathed a sigh of relief. His body was ready, and he could also obtain a sealed object to create a secret space. Now he just had to communicate with "The Fool".

In order to prevent "The Fool" from pretending not to hear, Hobert planned to communicate with "The World" first, lest "The Fool" feel that "grafting" and other operations are not possible, he simply temporarily cut off all contact with the "Creator".

And it’s best to wait until Klein is promoted to Sequence 3 before asking. He definitely won’t be able to do this now.

Hobert took a deep breath and finally solved this huge hidden danger in his heart. He returned to the Governor's Mansion on Long Tail Island to rest with Forsi quite easily.

……

On Wednesday morning, there were some clouds over Tutuga Port today, as if a storm was brewing.

A strong sea breeze has blown in from the sea, forcing pedestrians on the street to hold down their hats.

This kind of weather is very common in this season. Everyone is still doing their own work, trying to complete this morning's work before the heavy rain arrives.

Forsi, who was wearing a neat dark knight uniform and a pair of high boots, led eight Beyonders to a warehouse on the dock.

At the entrance of the warehouse, Forsi said again: "Remember, everything in this warehouse is currently confidential."

Seeing everyone nodding or saying yes, Forsi opened the door of the warehouse.

After seeing clearly the situation in the warehouse, everyone was a little disappointed, because they really didn't know that it was just an iron shelf. What could be kept secret?

Until Forsi introduced: "This is a teleportation array!"

Some extraordinary people were shocked: "Madam, it is said... that the teleportation array looks like this?"

"This iron frame was added to facilitate the transportation of goods. The real magic circle is under the iron frame." Forsi explained: "Because a large number of priceless gems were used, and to avoid theft, it was covered Stay in the magic circle."

Of course, this is also to prevent the floor plan of the teleportation array from being leaked through extremely low-cost investigation methods.

Many people with Sequence 5 or Sequence 6 abilities can see through the steel platform and see the teleportation array below.

But if there is no steel platform to block it, an ordinary person can get the floor plan of the teleportation array through memory.

As for the occult shield below, it is to prevent demigods from prying.

Fors said: "Your mission is to operate the teleportation array in the future. I will give you a demonstration first."

Inject spirituality into the magic circle, and illusory doors rise from the ground.

This scene shocked the eight extraordinary people. This was the legendary teleportation array!

This makes them feel like "the organization they join is so awesome."

Finally, they drew corresponding symbols on their chests one by one, and shouted like a shot of chicken blood: "Praise the Creator!"

Forsi, who was operating the teleportation array, was startled and glanced at this group of enthusiastic young people: "Stand inside the teleportation array! Do you think the entire warehouse can be teleported to Changwei Port?"

……

Backlund, 62 Queen's Road.

Hobert in the study took a look at the information submitted by Xio. It was as detailed as the information he provided last time.

"Very good." Hobert asked, "Have you brought any supporting materials?"

Xio was somewhat excited: "Bring it."

Hobert took out a set of scales and measuring cylinders from the cabinet, and then took out a small wooden box, which contained a copy of the "Judge's" extraordinary properties.

Hugh used these tools to prepare the potion and drank it under Hobert's supervision.

No matter which way, the process of promotion to Sequence 6 is somewhat dangerous, but Xio digested the "Interrogator" potion very well, and after two or three minutes of struggle, he completed the promotion process.

"I'm going to call you Your Honor from now on." Hobert waited for another minute or two before joking with Hugh.

Then he asked, "How do you feel?"

Xio had basically gathered his spirit and said, "Not bad."

She paused and added: "It's just that the process of promotion is a bit dangerous."

"Promotion to Sequence 5 is actually safer, because starting from this sequence, rituals will be used to stabilize the state." Hobert smiled: "But it's just a little safer."

Hugh nodded and took note of Hobert's words carefully. Hobert added: "A pirate court has been established in Tutuga Port. You have time to go there to digest the potion."

Xio was stunned for a moment before saying sheepishly: "Thank you."

"While I provide you with this digestion method, I also want to assign you a task."

Xio breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more comfortable: "What mission?"

"Help me build an intelligence network for Tutuga Port!" Hobert said: "More and more pirates are coming there, so it is a natural information exchange station.

"If you need money, people, or support, go to Forsi."

"no problem!"

After seeing off Xio who couldn't suppress his smile, Hobert went to find Dophis and asked him to go to the Southern Continent again, purchase a large amount of rough stones, and then asked him to prepare the carriage.

We took a carriage to a villa in the northern suburbs of Backlund, which is the headquarters of the Witch Research Society.

Audrey was sitting in the living room waiting for Hobert: "Wait a moment, get out of class is about to end."

She explained: “Because I found that the first group of members lacked basic grammar and mathematics knowledge, I hired two tutors to teach them some cultural knowledge.

"As for the occult part, I will be responsible for teaching it."

Regarding extraordinary knowledge, as long as it could be told to the outside world or could be told to them now, Audrey would tell them.

If any member wants to quit, Audrey can just use "hypnosis" to make that member forget this knowledge.

Hobert smiled and said, "You did a great job, Audrey."

"I have to say, your compliment is nothing new."

"Haha." Hobert smiled and skipped the topic: "Are they willing to take the magic potion?"

"I do." When it came to business, Audrey also became serious: "But they still have some psychological problems. If those psychological problems are not solved, it may affect their promotion to Sequence 8."

Hobert was stunned: "What kind of psychological problem?"

"Confusion about fate, worry about family, very afraid of losing the opportunity now, and the treatment of having no worries about food and clothing." Audrey, a senior psychiatrist, listed some of the more common ones:

"This makes them often show anxiety and restlessness. You should know that this is very dangerous for extraordinary people."

Hobert thought for a while: "Maybe I can solve their anxiety. After seeing them later, I will announce two pieces of good news."

Audrey said "Hmm" and said: "Hobert, you may not imagine the results of our research meeting!

“I didn’t even expect that the first group of members only knew some occult theoretical knowledge, but they expressed many opinions that surprised me.

"Theoretically speaking, those views are completely beyond their knowledge."

Hobert smiled and said: "It's not impossible. They are not extraordinary people, and their way of thinking about problems may be the most objective."

Just as we were talking about this, the first members of the Witch Research Society were out of class, and Audrey introduced their teacher to Hobert.

When this thirty-year-old female teacher met the count for the first time, she was somewhat at a loss. She said hello to Hobert and left.

Audrey asked twenty girls in uniform to sit down. They all had some common characteristics, such as thinness, sallow complexion, and withered hair.

This is the result of long-term malnutrition, which reminds Hobert to recall Freya, who has been promoted to "Interrogator". When she first became Hobert's student, her eyes were big because of her thinness, and she had The eyes of the girls in front of them were full of uneasiness and confusion.

"Don't be nervous, everyone." Audrey "pacified": "I am telling Mr. Earl the results achieved in our previous discussions.

"Miss Anna proposed that according to the theory I provided, if a god of a path will have a profound impact on the extraordinary people of that path, will the extraordinary people of this path get closer and closer to that god?"

Hobert was stunned and glanced at Miss Anna, who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Audrey smiled and said, "How about it? Let me just say that the members' guesses will greatly exceed expectations, right?"

"It's indeed beyond my expectations." Hobert smiled and said to himself: It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. This kind of idea would be considered very blasphemous by ordinary extraordinary people. Just thinking about it makes it impossible to proceed. Think about it.

Audrey said gracefully: "Then, Mr. Earl, please answer the question raised by Miss Anna."

Hobert replied: "Theoretically speaking, as the level increases and the influence of the god of this path becomes deeper and deeper, you will indeed get closer to that god."

"I have an extended question here." Audrey said: "I remember that the true god of the 'Witch' path was first a male. So if a male becomes a 'Witch', will it be easier to get close to their god? ?It’s easier to stabilize one’s state?”

This is the issue that Audrey asked Hobert to discuss. If this theory is true, then the Witch Research Association may need to recruit more male members.

"Your theory is not wrong." Hobert discussed with Audrey with a serious expression: "But in addition to the influence of the gods of this path on extraordinary people, there is also the influence of the gods that extraordinary people believe in.

"For example, if you believe in the Goddess of the Night, then after you join the Extraordinary organization of the Church of the Night Goddess, even if you are not an Extraordinary of the 'Sleepless One' path, you will still be influenced by the Goddess of the Night.

"As far as I know, as long as the Beyonders who have joined the Nighthawks, no matter what method they use, they will be a little clumsy in their craftsmanship."

Both he and Klein can attest to this.

The members listened very carefully because they realized that if Miss Audrey's theory was correct, they would be rendered "useless".

Hobert added: "In addition, there is also the difference between whether the extraordinary person's path belongs to the god or not.

"For example, if an Extraordinary who does not have the 'lawyer' path of the True God joins the Nighthawks, he will be more influenced by the goddess of the night.

"If an Extraordinary with the 'Witch' path of the True God joins the Nighthawks, the influence of both sides will basically cancel each other out.

“I know a bishop of the Mother Earth Church. He originally believed in the God of War, but later converted to the Mother Earth.

"Most of the time he is under the influence of the Earth Mother and looks very kind, but when he is fighting, he seems to be a different person."

Many members have already breathed a sigh of relief.

Hobert concluded: "In my opinion, it is probably the gods of faith that easily affect the temperament of an extraordinary person, and when using extraordinary abilities, they are often affected by the gods of that path.

“But this is not absolute, because the Extraordinary itself is the main existence. Although the gods will have an influence on the Extraordinary, the Extraordinary itself also has the power to choose.

"For example, the ancient God of Death is a phoenix, and the Emperor of Hades is a feathered serpent. I haven't heard that the Emperor of Hades became more and more like a phoenix when he became a subordinate of the ancient God of Death."

The last sentence was meant for Audrey by Hobert.

It was both a phoenix and a couatl, and the other members couldn't quite understand it.

Audrey nodded: "I understand."

In other words, as long as you don't believe in the "Original Witch", it doesn't matter whether the Extraordinary on the "Witch" path is male or female.

But considering the subsequent roles, if you are a woman, the psychological pressure may not be so great, which will be more conducive to maintaining your condition.

After answering this question, Hobert smiled and said: "Your research results are far beyond my imagination, so I have brought you two rewards.

"First, as long as you become 'Assassins' voluntarily, then I will arrange for your family members to work in 'Earl's Light'. Second..."

Just after hearing the first reward, the girls became very excited.

Some of them even exclaimed loudly: "Goddess above, is she the light of the earl?"

In the eyes of people in the East District, those who work at "Earl's Light" must be favored by the gods!

That is the factory with the highest salary, bar none.

Food and accommodation are also provided, and families can live in the staff dormitories. Although it is very crowded, this saves money on renting a house.

Then a family's expenses are only food for the family and daily necessities for the family.

As long as one person in the family works at Earl's Light, a family can be supported.

The girls quickly quieted down and listened carefully to Hobert's second reward.

"The second reward," Hobert said: "After you become an 'assassin', you will get an interview opportunity.

"That's an interview with an intelligence officer. As long as you pass the interview, you will get a job with a weekly salary of 6 pounds."

"Oh my God, six pounds!"

"A full 6 pounds!"

The girls were excited again.

Hobert smiled and waited for them to calm down again before saying: "After being promoted to Sequence 8 and Sequence 7, you will each have an interview opportunity to be loyal to the 'Creator's' Extraordinary Force.

"After entering there, you will have better development prospects, and your salary will be doubled for sure!"

The girls were a little unbelievable, because this kind of treatment was so good that it sounded like a scam.

"Okay." Hobert said, "You continue your discussion, I have other things to deal with."

After Hobert left, the girls asked Audrey if the reward promised by Mr. Earl just now was true.

Audrey smiled and said, "What's the point of him lying to you?"

The girls were right. When they were taken away by Dennis, they thought they were going to be lovers for a certain noble.

Their parents also told them to try their best to please the noble, so that they could be loved by the noble and get some benefits that would benefit their family.

But after they came to the seminar, they discovered that it was not at all what they imagined.

The girls thought about it carefully and realized that for a count, there was indeed nothing in them that could be deceived.

……

Hobert came to "Earl's Light" and asked Todd about the progress of the negotiations.

Under the tremendous pressure from the Prime Minister, negotiations are progressing rapidly, and "Earl's Light" will receive the first payment of compensation tomorrow.

Todd confirmed again: "Do we really want to use this money to acquire those two bankrupt gas companies?"

"That's right." Hobert smiled: "The people in the Gas Association are too narrow-minded. No one stipulates that gas can only be used for lighting."

It can also be used for cooking!

Although electric lights are crowding out the gas market, it does not mean that gas is useless.

It's just that the current gas pressure is too low to be used for cooking.

Hobert has already asked his scientific research team to study gas storage technology and pressurization technology, as well as gas gas stoves. When Hobert's gas company opens, gas will appear in front of people with new uses.

Now that the gas company has suddenly turned into a low-quality asset, of course, we can acquire as much as we can.

After coming out of the "Earl's Light", Hobert returned to the study in the Earl's Mansion to rest for a while, then went to the living room and waited for Archibald who arrived as promised.

They made an appointment to go looking for San Diego City together today.

In order to facilitate the use of "travel", Archibald brought a marionette with him this time.

The two people first came to a small reception room and spread out a map of the Loen Kingdom.

"Probably right here." Archibald pointed at the map and said: "South of Conston, Jianhai County, and west of the industrial city of Beldan.

"The source of the Hornakis Mountains is here. Well, I remember that if the weather is good, you can see the beginning of this mountain range from downtown Conston."

Hobert nodded: "Can you still find the specific location?"

Archibald smiled bitterly: "The feeling of entering San Diego City was very strange. It was like entering another space, and it was like being pulled by a huge force like a whirlpool."

He said this to cover up a lie he had told before. When he was attacked by the "Great Sage Overturning the Sea", in order to save his life, he said that he could find San Diego City.

But in fact, Archibald went back and looked for it later, and he found that the previous time he entered San Diego City was all due to his own luck, and there was no way he could find the previous intersection again.

Hobert did not pursue Archibald's lies, but asked him: "Can you find the approximate location?"

"can!"

"Okay!" Hobert took out his pocket watch and looked at it: "We will set off after lunch."

Around one o'clock in the afternoon, two people and a marionette arrived at the easternmost point of the Honakis Mountains.

It is also recognized as the origin of the Hornakis Mountains.

Hobert remembered that the messenger Beverly once said that San Diego City is at the southern end of the Sea of ​​​​Jianhai, the source of the Honakis Mountains.

The location described by Beverly is somewhat similar to the current location of Kangston, the industrial town of Loen.

In terms of location, Connors is also the top choice for the capital location in the entire northern continent.

The Tasok River flowing to Backlund is not far from the city, and supplies and soldiers can be transported along this river to the coast of the northern continent.

At the same time, it can also radiate power to the entire eastern part of Loen through the Horn River that joins the Tasok River in Tingen City, all the way to the Amanda Mountains where the headquarters of the Dark Goddess Church is located.

Through the Jianhai in the north, the two main rivers of the Fusac Empire can be used to radiate power to the northernmost Eternal Night Plain.

The only fly in the ointment may be that because of the barrier between the Honakis Mountains and the Central Plateau, there is no way to quickly project power to the western part of the Northern Continent without using extraordinary abilities. The current Republic of Intis and Within the Kingdom of Feneport.

But compared to other cities, this is indeed a location where you can maximize your power.

Archibald took Hobert to the foot of the mountain: "It was probably from this location that I entered Yadro City last time."

Hobert glanced around. There were hills behind him and plains in front of him.

From here, you can see that in the front left is the city of Constantinople next to a factory, and in the front right is the sparkling sea of ​​​​Jian.

There are many villages and manors on the plains. Some children playing discovered the two strangers and looked at them curiously.

Hobert frowned. He originally thought that the entrance was in the wilderness, a place with almost no human habitation.

There are people coming around often, so it must be that you can enter Yadro City when you reach a certain location.

Hobert said to Archibald: "Tell me in detail how you entered Yardlo City last time."

"It was dusk when I came here." Archibald described: "I was chasing a 'Fallen Earl'. He faced the direction of the setting sun, almost a little ahead, and took out a Something like a badge.

"Then he disappeared. I immediately chased him, felt a huge suction force, and followed him into an illusory passage.

"I only remember that a brass-colored eye flashed past in that illusory passage, and then a strange sky appeared in front of me. Sometimes the sun was shining brightly and accompanied by lightning, and sometimes it was in the dark night sky. .”

Hobert looked at Jian Hai in the distance and said to himself, "Brass-colored eyes."

That seems to be a characteristic of the Reader Path, but after careful consideration, it is quite reasonable. At that time, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, the Eternal Sun and the Lord of Storms, who were adjacent paths to the True Creator, attacked the city of San Diego. They must be the three most fierce people in the Six Gods camp.

It is very likely that the power of the three gods changed the environment or space here, causing the capital of the Solomon Empire to disappear here.

"This is a puzzle." Hobert said: "Brass eyes, scorching sun, lightning, dark night! Missing dusk and earth?"

Then he denied his speculation: "No, it's just the earth. The last time you entered was at dusk."

Hobert held the "Healing Fork" in one hand and supported a tree with the other.

This magical item is very special. Hobert suspects that it should have been marked by the Earth Mother and is special in the "cultivator" path.

But Hobert didn't feel anything strange in the surrounding plants. He thought for a few seconds, suddenly squatted on the ground, put the "Healing Fork" on the ground, and pressed his hand on this magical item.

Hobert immediately felt the surging life force underground: "There is a huge plant underground. Well, it seems to be as big as a hill. Is that the entrance?"

This should be a legacy of the previous divine war.
