Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 637 Hobert’s intelligence officer Hugh Dilcha

There are currently three witches in this warehouse, namely Sherman, or Sherman, who was trained by Triss to be close to Viscount Stratford.

One is Triss who is dedicated to investigating the death of Edsac.

One is to use Viscount Stepford to find and hunt down Triss's "White Saint" Catalina Pellet.

At this time, Hobert wore a mask made of "Order Crystal" and came in openly from the warehouse door.

Xio, who was also wearing a mask, followed closely behind. Although her insoles were much higher, she still looked much shorter than Hobert.

After Catalina saw Hobert, a mirror appeared in front of her, and she was about to escape from the "mirror world"!

Of course, Catalina did not recognize that it was Hobert or that it was the favored one of the "Creator", but it was because the Witch Sect had now become a frightened bird.

If it weren't for the necessary task of capturing Triss, she would definitely continue to lie dormant and try to reduce or eliminate her appearance.

But Catalina found that she could not enter the mirror. At this time, Tris suddenly became unreal. She looked at Hobert and showed a sweet smile: "I wish you success!"

In an instant, she turned into an illusory mirror and shattered in an instant.

It turns out that she is not here in person, she is just using the mirror to maintain her image.

Hobert used the "0-71" disaster porcelain doll to completely cut off the surrounding "mirror world", and the power to maintain her image was also interrupted.

At the same time, Katarina cannot escape from the "mirror world" or use the extraordinary abilities related to the mirror.

"Tampering!" Hobert tampered with the density of molecules in the air, forming a huge squeezing force on Catalina.

Regarding tampering and distortion at the molecular level, Hobert referred to some of Rex's research and obtained an attack method unique to him.

The reason why it is said to be "unique" is because although the scientists in the Northern Continent have already had the concept of molecules, Hobert, who has taken chemistry classes, knows more comprehensive knowledge about molecules than these scientists.

It is precisely because Rex does not have a very deep understanding of molecules that he only has some conjectures and research, which can only provide Hobert with a very good idea.

bang~

The graceful body of the "White Saint" was replaced by a cane.

Faced with the sudden squeeze of air, Catalina cautiously used her "cane stand-in" ability to dodge, but she soon discovered that the stand-in that could have been completed in an instant now took about one and a half seconds to complete.

This is the experience that Hobert summed up when dealing with the extraordinary people of the "witch" path before. Using the ability of "exploitation" to delay their substitution process, the various "substitution techniques" that are most troublesome to the witches can be used instantly. The completion becomes a slow completion, which is a good time to attack.

Hobert stretched out his hand and pushed forward violently, using the abilities of "amplification", "tampering" and "distortion" in succession, so that the power of his push was instantly transmitted to Catalina, making her feel like she was hit by a large-caliber bullet. The cannonball hit and the whole person rolled into the air.

But because of Hobert's continuous "distortion" of her, Catalina only rolled on the spot. After those 1.5 seconds, spider threads appeared in the air, which allowed her to stabilize her form and avoid Huo Bot. Burt's attack.

Catalina glanced at Hobert in surprise, thinking about how to escape.

She realized that the enemy in front of her had used abilities related to the "lawyer" path to an outrageous level.

Moreover, she also felt the suppression from a higher level, and speculated that the enemy had a sealed object from the angel-level "witch" path. First of all, she realized that the effect of her attack must be very limited.

Not only that, but it also limits his abilities. For example, all the magic about mirrors cannot be used.

Then she guessed that this was most likely an Extraordinary from the "Creator" force. The sealed artifact in his hand should have come from the previous Extraordinary Battle of South Colson and the sealed artifact formed by the fall of the angel of the Witch Sect.

Based on these speculations, Catalina now only has the idea of ​​​​escape.

In a corner of the warehouse, Viscount Stratford saw Catalina running away in a somewhat embarrassed manner, which was somewhat unbelievable. He knew very well how strong this beautiful "witch" was.

At the same time, Hugh helped Sherman loosen the spider threads that bound her. Sherman's beautiful eyes were full of mist as he asked Viscount Stepford: "Those things you said to me before were all lies." Right?"

Viscount Stepford came back to his senses and said with a joking smile: "I can only say that you are an innocent witch."

Xio, who was wearing a mask, exuded an aura of anger. She raised her left hand: "Psychic puncture!"

She wears a black glove on her left hand, which is the "1-107" that Hobert often used before. It is a sealed item that allows the holder to use the "Law Mage" ability within three minutes.

Viscount Stepford immediately showed a very painful and ferocious expression. At this time, he felt that someone was stirring his brain with a barbed iron rod.

Severe pain and mental damage caused him to kneel on the ground, wailing and taking out a cross full of patina with trembling hands.

He was about to prick his finger and let the blood flow out, when Xio used his "whip" ability again.

Every "whip" at the level of a demigod was clearly visible to the bone. Viscount Stepford could hardly hold the cross in his hand and had no energy left to prick his finger.

Sherman turned her head away, unable to bear to look any further. She mustered up the courage to say to Hugh, "Let him go."

Although she was wearing a knight's uniform and her height had changed, she still recognized that the man wearing a mask to vent her anger was Xio.

Viscount Stepford immediately showed his gratitude, but Sherman said: "I really regret wasting my feelings on a bastard like you."

At this time, Hobert, who was not far away, was attacking Catalina with extraordinary power and said coldly: "You will regret your decision to let him go soon."

Almost as soon as Hobert finished speaking, Viscount Stepford, who was freed from the "spiritual puncture" and "whipping" attacks, his eyes became fierce. He squeezed hard and pricked his finger with a few sharp thorns on the cross, leaving blood. On the cross it actually looks very sacred: "Sun Flame!"

A ball of pure light wrapped with countless holy fires appeared above his head.

Xio, who had been on guard for a long time, immediately said: "Exile!"

What she banished was the huge ball of pure fire. At the same time, she pulled out a gun with her other hand and shot out all six bullets with the enchanted revolver.

Xio's marksmanship has always been very good, and he shot at close range again, hitting all six bullets.

Even though the opponent was a "Punishing Knight", he was seriously injured by six enchanted bullets.

Xio took a step forward and raised his left hand again: "Psychic puncture!"

"Ah~" Viscount Stepford's screams sounded in the warehouse again, but the screams gradually became weaker.

On the saint-level battlefield on the other side, Hobert, who was holding the "Disaster Porcelain Doll", had an absolute advantage. Catalina tried to escape several times, but failed.

Hobert pressed forward step by step unhurriedly. He "tampered" with the structure of the water molecules around Catalina, turning them into hydrogen and oxygen gas molecules. Catalina originally looked shiny and elastic. Skin immediately becomes dry and wrinkled.

She ignited black flames in an attempt to burn Hobert's extraordinary attack.

But she soon discovered that the black flame, which had been very effective in dealing with some strange extraordinary abilities, could not suppress the loss of water in her body.

This is because Hobert's tampering is not entirely an extraordinary attack. It is a "tampering" with the basic order of nature. It is as if all the water in her body is decomposed at this time, which complies with the relevant laws of physics!

This was an attack that terrified Catalina. She could feel that her body and organs were failing little by little. As a last resort, she immediately used the "Puppet Stand" technique.

Just like the time she used the Substitute Technique before, in the next 1.5 seconds, she was once again attacked by Hobert without any power to fight back.

Hobert waved his hand and "tampered" with the structure of hydrogen molecules around Catalina again.

Call ~

A big fireball suddenly formed in the warehouse, and Catalina was immediately in the huge fireball.

"Zoom in!" Hobert realized from the last round of attacks that the "Witch" was also quite resistant to beatings, so this time he simply changed the physical attack into a high-temperature attack.

As the flames of the fire gradually became redder, Catalina finally completed the "substitution" process.

Black flames ignited around her, immediately burning a big black hole around the flames maintained by Hobert, and she immediately got out of the flames.

Hobert stared closely at Catalina and "distorted" her position with the "stand-in puppet" just thrown out.

The puppet was still in the flames, so Catalina was surrounded by crimson flames again, and the ignited puppet fell to the ground, and the flames on it were instantly extinguished.

As the flame turned deep red, it meant that under Hobert's constant "tampering" and "amplification", the temperature around the flame had reached hundreds of degrees!

In the warehouse, Xio and Sherman were both parched by the blazing flames. They looked at the beautiful fireball in front of them with some surprise, and at the same time lamented that the battle between demigods had exceeded their imagination.

Hugh realized that it was very dangerous to continue to stay here, so he dragged the unconscious Viscount Stepford, pulled up Sherman who was still a little unconscious, and immediately broke a hole in the wall of the warehouse and escaped.

Call ~

As soon as the hole in the wall was opened, a strong wind flowed in.

That was what Hobert was extracting, and the oxygen was five kilometers around. Even if Xio didn't notice the danger, Hobert would have to remind them to leave, because this place would be a space with a very high oxygen content.

The black flames appeared again on the orange flames controlled by Hobert, and Catalina, who was roasted until she was as red as a cooked lobster, and her body was steaming, emerged from the flames again!

As the color of the flame changed again, the surrounding temperature had reached seven to eight hundred degrees.

At this time, there was a "cracking" sound all around, and the very fine spider threads were ignited and burned.

That was the spider silk that Catalina had secretly laid out just now by using her constant dodging. She originally planned to trap Hobert when there were enough spider silks, giving herself a second or two to escape.

At this time, Catalina was somewhat surprised. In her memory, spider silk at the level of demigods could burn continuously with ordinary flames!

Hobert, who was standing there, suddenly closed his two separated hands. He strengthened the "relationship" between Catalina and the "puppet stand-in" she had thrown out before.

The puppet that had been baked very dry immediately ignited an orange-red flame. At the same time, Catalina, who was closely related to the puppet, also ignited a flame of the same color. She was once again captured by Hobert. Surrounded by flames created with great spirituality.

The successive attacks made Hobert realize that using burning and high temperature was the perfect way to deal with the "Witch". Whether it was spider silk or hair, they were both relatively afraid of fire.

Although blessed by extraordinary power, the flammable nature of spider silk and hair remains.

So Hobert continued to "tamper", "distort" and "amplify"!

The entire warehouse became as hot as a furnace. The goods inside were ignited one by one, and the flames above quickly turned orange.

Because the warehouse contained a large amount of oxygen at this time, and Hobert continued to "purify" the combustion accelerant for the flame.

So Xio and Sherman, who had already run far away, tried to breathe heavily, but it seemed as if there was no air around them. No matter how hard they breathed, there was a strong need for oxygen in their lungs.

It wasn't until a thick white mist appeared in the sea on the pier and instantly drifted towards the warehouse that the two Extraordinaries who had fainted several times due to lack of oxygen seemed to come back to life.

That's because Hobert discovered that the pure orange flame formed by gathering oxygen five kilometers around him still failed to burn Catalina, so he simply let a large number of water molecules in the sea not far away decompose into hydrogen and oxygen. And let the decomposed oxygen molecules be poured into the warehouse instantly.

Catalina, who was covered with a layer of crystal-like ice, emerged from the flames again. At this time, she was already very embarrassed, her hair was baked into curls, and her clothes were baked until they were as fragile as paper shells that have been exposed to the sun for many years. .

Although she was protected by crystal ice, her body had already melted to a certain extent.

After all, the flame at this time has reached about a thousand degrees, which is higher than the melting point of many metals.

With the arrival of oxygen molecules from the sea, the flames in the warehouse turned golden orange, and the temperature rose again. Catalina showed a very painful expression. She had been trying to use her extraordinary power to make frost appear around her to cool down.

But the ice that just appeared immediately turned into gas. At this temperature, the crystal-like ice covering Catalina also began to melt.

As the ice receded, Catalina was immediately ignited. While screaming, she used her various "substitute" abilities to get out of her current situation.

But whether she uses a cane, a straw man, or a puppet as a stand-in, Catalina can't escape her own burning fate!

Catalina stared closely at Hobert in the flames. She was very unwilling to do so. This "ageless witch" whose body had also undergone qualitative changes did not believe that she would be burned to death by "ordinary" flames!

Of course, this flame is not ordinary at all. Only special furnaces can have such high-temperature flames. It was Hobert who used his extraordinary ability to make it appear in an open warehouse.

But it is indeed not an extraordinary flame! There is no damage from the extraordinary realm, it is just exerting its "instinct" and burning everything!

The light in Catalina's eyes quickly disappeared, and her head was burned into black coals.

At this time, Hobert, who was also roasted and turned orange-red, and was breathing heavily, suddenly smiled. He was really enjoying the use of his extraordinary ability just now! Very happy!

But at this time, he knew that this battle was not over yet!

Hobert quickly threw out a beautiful spell like a black gem: "Relation!"

This was one of the preparations he made after Xio prayed to the "Creator" and made an angel-level spell with the ability to "relate"!

This spell requires not only extremely fine black iron, but also angelic-level spiritual materials.

Hobert used part of the blood of the "Black Scaled Imperial Crystal Gold Beast" inherited from Rex, and also used the status of the "State of Disorder" to successfully create this spell.

The "Lawyer" path is an angel-level talisman. It looks like a long black gemstone. It looks dazzling and very beautiful.

As the spell turned into illusory black symbols, Hobert severed the "connection" between Catalina and the arrangement of her resurrection.

Just like the situation encountered before in the extraordinary battle of South Colson, Katarina's soul was like a wanderer who had lost its place of refuge, wandering next to the charred corpse while making a shrill scream. Howl!

Hobert, who was well prepared, drew out his rapier and stabbed the spirit body of the "White Saint". This was when she was at her weakest, and it burst like a blister.

This backbone of the Witch Cult died in a burning warehouse.

Hobert took away her extraordinary characteristics and took away a piece of her body that had been burnt to charcoal. He then used his "twisting" ability to crush her body, and it was carried away by a gust of "amplified" wind. throughout the dock area.

At this time, the flames in the warehouse turned into ordinary colors because there was no high concentration of combustion accelerant.

Hobert waved his hand, causing the temperature in the warehouse to drop rapidly, until it dropped below the ignition point of the flame.

When the people around were attracted by the fire and came to put out the fire, the flames had been completely extinguished. Everyone was scrambling to open the tattered door. A gust of cold wind blew towards their faces. September was still the best time of the year for Backlund. In the hotter months, everyone is shivering from the cold.

The cargo boxes in the warehouse are actually covered with a thin layer of white frost?

This made everyone stunned. Wasn't it on fire? Why is there still a layer of white frost coming out from the burning?

In the darkness, a very sweet voice suddenly let out a pleasant laugh: "Haha, a 'Crazy Mage'!"

……

Hobert caught up with Hugh and Sherman by "twisting" his position.

Then he used "Distortion" to lead several people away from the dock area in an instant, and soon arrived in a forest on the outskirts of Backlund.

Hobert glanced at Viscount Stepford: "Not dead yet?"

Just when Xio was about to say something, Hobert had already waved his hand and broke the viscount's neck through the air.

"I, I..." Xio said at this time: "I still want to ask him a few questions."

Sherman on the side remained silent, and even his expression did not change.

Hobert said: "Channeling is more reliable than asking questions."

As he spoke, he once again pulled out the rapier from his cane and grabbed Viscount Stepford. He caught the spirit body of Viscount Stepford, whose face was full of pain and looked relatively unreal.

Hobert winked at Hugh.

Hugh stepped forward and asked, "Do you know Mason Dill?"

Based on some clues, she investigated that the Viscount of Stepford seemed to have a certain relationship with the death of her father. While following the Viscount and continuing the investigation, she saw that Sherman, who had turned into a woman, was taken to the In the warehouse at the dock.

Of course, Xio's spirituality sensed the danger in the warehouse, but out of concern for her friends, she thought of asking the "Creator" for help.

In Hugh's opinion, besides liking men and wanting to be a woman, Sherman was very reliable in other aspects.

Sherman had been willing to take considerable risks or face large bounties on several occasions before, but did not betray Xio. He was one of Xio's more trusted friends.

"I know." Stepford, who now had no pain expression but became dull, replied emotionlessly.

Hugh had psychic experience and started by asking some simpler questions: "Who is he?"

In fact, she didn't need to, because the rapier in Hobert's hand was of extremely high status and there was no need to follow such rules.

Stepford replied: "He is the former Lord Chamberlain."

Xio took a deep breath, concealing the complex emotions such as excitement, expectation and fear in his heart: "What caused the death of Mason Dill?"

This is a question she wanted to ask eight years ago. In the past eight years, she has been looking for the answer all the time, but she is afraid that the answer is not what she wants. She is afraid that her father did participate in the rebellion and was executed for it.

Viscount Stepford did not answer Hugh's question immediately, as if he was struggling.

Hobert injected more spirituality into the rapier, and it suddenly glowed with a pale white light.

Stepford, who had a higher hairline, immediately stopped struggling: "He discovered His Majesty the King's secret and tried to notify the three major churches but failed and was executed on the spot!"

Xio was stunned for several seconds before he seemed to understand the answer.

Although this answer frightened her, it made her hanging heart fall back to its original position.

"His Majesty the King's secret?" Xio whispered to himself, and then asked: "What secret is it?"

At this time, Viscount Stepford struggled a little again, and then said with dull eyes: "The secret is..." Suddenly, his spirit body trembled violently, and his confused eyes suddenly regained their vitality.

Immediately afterwards, the spirit and body in front of Hobert and several others suddenly completely disintegrated and turned into a powder-like state.

The powder suddenly tumbled and seemed to explode.

Hobert immediately took action and used his "chaos" ability to interrupt the explosion.

So there was only a pile of colored powder on the ground in front of them, and the extraordinary characteristics of a "Punishing Knight".

Hobert waved his hand, and extraordinary characteristics appeared in his palm.

He said to Xiu: "I will leave it to you until you accumulate enough merits and come to me to redeem the extraordinary characteristics for promotion.

"But before that happens, something needs to be done to prevent the royal family from leaving its imprint on the properties."

Xio nodded: "Thank you."

Hobert raised his hand again, and the pile of colored powder burned, and the air immediately smelled like burnt hair.

He used his "utilization" ability to speed up the burning process, and the powder instantly turned into a pool of black powder.

Hobert buried the black powder five kilometers underground again. He glanced at Sherman and said, "You're not stupid enough to come here to pay homage to him, are you?"

Sherman was stunned for a moment, then showed a somewhat forced smile: "Don't worry, it won't happen."

As she spoke, she held a spiked cross in both hands and presented it to Hobert.

It was a copper-green cross ornament, a style not found in the Northern Continent or the Fifth Age, but Hobert was familiar with it. This was exactly the ornament worn by a "Christian" priest or bishop.

But it looks very old and full of antique charm.

Hobert remembered that this magical item would exclude other extraordinary items held by the holder, so he took out a "Crystal of Order" and asked Sherman to place the cross on the "Crystal of Order."

The "Order Crystal" immediately seemed to come alive, forming a small box and sealing the sealed object.

Hugh also took off "1-107" and the mask and handed them to Hobert.

Hobert put away the sealed artifact: "Okay, let's go back. Where are you going?"

Xio reported an address in the Wood District, and Hobert used "travel" to send them back to Backlund. After waving with Xio, he entered the spirit world again.

Once Hobert left, the vague feeling of oppression disappeared, and Xio and Sherman breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

In an alley not far from here, there is a secret stronghold of Xio.

After they arrived at the stronghold, Xio warned Sherman very seriously: "Don't contact that 'witch' again in the future! She made you an extraordinary, and she is obviously using you."

"Okay, Hugh." Sherman immediately expressed her position: "Although I am very grateful to her for allowing me to realize my long-standing wish, but I also know that she is very dangerous!"

Sherman said seriously: "Thank you Xio, thank you for saving me."

Xio's expression was no longer so serious: "It was... the mysterious man wearing a mask who just left saved you."

"He must have been invited by you." Sherman said apologetically: "I know, you must pay accordingly."

A helper at the demigod level is of extremely high value just because he is willing to help.

"You don't have to worry about this." Xio knew that Hobert would not propose that unacceptable reward: "What are your plans next?"

Sherman sighed: "I'll hide in the countryside for a while, and then come back when the matter in Stepford is completely forgotten."

Xiu said, "Maybe you can also hide in the East District, and I will use some methods there to hide you in the slums."

She said: "Of course, you also have to help me manage the intelligence network I finally established in the East District."

Sherman was stunned: "Are you building an intelligence network?"

Although every bounty hunter would like to have their own intelligence network, their financial resources are completely unable to maintain the operation of the intelligence network, and they can only maintain a cooperative relationship with informants.

This is a destabilizing factor for these informants in many cases, because it means that the bounty hunter can be betrayed at any time.

"I met a mysterious person who is willing to invest in the intelligence network in Backlund." Xiu said: "So far, our cooperation has been very pleasant."

……

Hobert returned to the study and first sacrificed the loot to the "State of Disorder".

After placing the two extraordinary characteristics on the corresponding stone platform, Hobert finally took the cross.

In his hands, this thing has no use other than crushing it into extraordinary characteristics. Even if it is crushed into extraordinary characteristics, it can only be sold to the church. Unless it is to establish in-depth cooperation with the church, this is how to deal with demigod-level extraordinary characteristics. If so, it has not exerted its value.

Hobert thought for a while, and he could make a deal with "The Fool" and regard it as a reward for "The Fool"'s action.

Originally, Hobert had planned to ask Klein, who was still the demigod at this time, to help him when he was promoted, and the remuneration had already been negotiated.

But now it seems that Mr. Fool still needs to take action, or that Klein, who has become an angel, needs to take action "above the gray mist", so some more rewards need to be provided.

Putting the cross aside, Hobert returned to the real world, asked the servant to serve a pot of tea, and began to read the reports from Longtail Island and South Colson area.

In the latter part of the night, at around two o'clock in the morning, Hugh quietly entered the Earl's Mansion and climbed in through the window of the study.

Hobert was not surprised by Hugh's arrival.

Hugh was not surprised by Hobert's waiting.

Hobert pushed the documents in front of him away and poured Xio a cup of tea: "Sit down."

"Thank you, Hobert." Hugh sat on the chair opposite Hobert, his feet still a little off the ground: "I don't know what I would do without you tonight."

Then she asked, "How should I pay you?"

Hobert was well prepared and took out the information from Xio's previous investigation: "Kill these two people."

Xiu said: "They are two Sequence 7s. It seems that they are not enough to pay you for taking action."

"The process of killing these two people should involve certain risks." Hobert said bluntly: "In my opinion, this is a relatively equal deal."

"Okay." Xio smiled and said, "Then I can only repay you later by providing you with some information."

She still felt that Hobert could take it, but she couldn't give it to him.

Hobert did not refuse: "Triss... is the witch who turned into a mirror in the warehouse. There is a high probability that she will contact you through Sherman.

"When the time comes, you tell her that I have given her preferential treatment by not turning her into an extraordinary trait.

"But that's it. There is no possibility for us to cooperate."

Xio realized at this time that Sherman must have been involved in a higher level of trouble, so she asked: "What does Triss want to do?"

"Want to avenge her lover." Hobert smiled: "Although I admire her courage and friendship, especially in this cold world, she is definitely a gorgeous and unique firework.

"But we are not from the same place."

He had no intention of saving the witch, and even Sherman was rescued by accident. He couldn't kill Sherman after he left the warehouse just to avoid some trouble, right?

Triss was different from Sherman. In Hobert's view, Triss's death was a relief to her.

Xio was a little confused, but realized that it was better not to get involved. After all, she had just learned the truth about her father's death, and she still had a lot to do.

So Hugh asked: "Hobert, do you know what Stepford said about His Majesty the King's secret?"

Hobert raised his hand, creating a space for private conversation: "I know, but I can't tell you."

"why?"

"Because it's the organization's secret."

Xio immediately asked: "What kind of tasks do I need to complete to get relevant information?"

Hobert was already prepared for this, and he pretended to smile helplessly: "This is not a matter of mission, but that you have to reach a certain status in the organization or obtain a certain position before I can tell you this information.

"This means that you have to become a devout believer of the 'Creator', which means that you have to be deeply bound to us!

"As your friend, of course I know that you don't want to join any organization, but as a friend, I also hope you can understand that I also have my difficulties."

"I'm sorry, Hobert." Xio said sincerely: "You have been helping me, but I have made things difficult for you many times."

Hobert spread his hands slightly: "It's nothing."

Xio thought for a few seconds before saying: "You, I mean the 'creators', ahem, uh, are all the members of the great 'creator' force as normal as you?"

She felt that her description was not accurate enough, but she could not find the right words to describe her problem.

Hobert saw that Xio was very embarrassed with a childish look on his face, so he reminded him: "You mean, everyone is like me and has not suffered any negative effects?"

"Yes, yes." Xio showed a happy smile, but then she seemed to realize that it was not appropriate to smile at this time, so she immediately stopped her smile: "Sorry, I don't mean anything else, it's just that I have seen many Members of the cult have certain concerns.”

In fact, she had already understood this question before and got a certain answer. She just wanted to hear Hobert answer this question himself today.

"As you can see." Hobert smiled: "Like Angus and the others, and even hundreds of other extraordinary beings, I have always been very normal."

He explained: “The reason why the cult members you mentioned are so abnormal is because their gods are abnormal, and under the influence of their gods, they become very abnormal.

"We have no such concerns."

Xio took a deep breath: "Then can I join you too?"

Hobert said seriously: "Of course. I have said before that you are the talent we urgently need. It would be great if you could join."

Xio then asked: "Then how can I get the information I want after joining?"

"Be my intelligence officer."

"How can I become your intelligence officer?"

Hobert asked, "Do you want to be my intelligence officer?"

"Of course I do!"

"Then you are now."

"Ah?" Xiu didn't react for a moment.

However, Hobert continued: "Your first mission is to establish an intelligence network covering the entire Backlund! Tomorrow I will bring you a few extraordinary people. You choose them to see if there are any suitable ones. Be your subordinate.

"After Backlund's intelligence network is established, he will go to Trier, Fenneport, and the capitals of each country to establish a good intelligence network."

He warned: "Besides, you have to remember that you have only one boss, and that's me."

Xio nodded: "I remember."

She also reacted at this time and immediately entered the state.

Hobert breathed a sigh of relief: the intelligence problem has finally been completely solved.

He added: "As for the question you just asked, according to relevant regulations, I can answer you now.

“The king wanted to become a god, but this process caused many innocent casualties and destroyed many originally happy families.

"Although I don't have specific data, as far as I know the royal family has been transporting slaves from the colonies to Backlund, and it is said that wanderers in the East District often disappear mysteriously. Over the years, the number should be hundreds of thousands.

“It seems that there is a place that needs to be filled with life, and it seems that it is never filled.

"Oh, by the way, do you remember the Dicaping case last year? According to reliable information, Caping sold all the kidnapped girls to the royal family!"

Xiu listened to all this quietly and found that he was not too surprised.

"According to Stepford's channeling, your father is an upright man." Hobert said seriously: "Perhaps this is also his way of being loyal to the royal family and not wanting the reputation of the royal family to encounter an irreversible crisis in the future."

Xio took a deep breath: "In my impression, he is indeed very loyal to the royal family."

She didn't know whether to be angry or sad at this moment: "But they..."

Hobert said: "In the near future, we will find a way to terminate the process of George III becoming a god, and maybe we can help you get revenge on the way."

Xio's anger and sadness just now were suddenly replaced by surprise: "You, you are the earl of the Loen Kingdom!"

Hobert nodded: "Yes, but who stipulates that the earl cannot destroy the king's plan?"

Xio didn't know what to say for a moment. After a while, she said, "Remember to let me know when the time comes."

"If the opportunity is right, I will definitely take you with me."

……

Longwei Island, Tutujia Port.

The early morning sunshine shines on this lively port, and a few seagulls sing and fly around in the early morning sunshine.

As the Blue Avenger docked, Alger, who had completed the mission of the church, finally arrived at this port that had become famous on the violent sea.

On the dock, Alger met several intelligence dealers he had known before. They had previously been hiding in Bayam's secret stronghold, but now they were on the dock and openly exchanging information in the port.

The official Beyonders and security guards patrolling seemed to turn a blind eye to them. After Alger chatted with them for a few words, he realized that as long as they did not spread rumors that were detrimental to Tutuga Port, no one would care about their intelligence transactions.

But they encountered a new problem, that is, information has become cheap. Often a group of information dealers all know the same information, but there are only one or two poor buyers.

Some intelligence dealers even lamented that if they continue to sell information, they might as well move bricks on the construction site of Tutuga Port.

Just when Alger was going to have breakfast at the food court mentioned by the intelligence dealer, he looked at the sea with a sense of spirituality, and saw that the space on the sea was suddenly opened, and a huge ship appeared offshore. .

Everyone in the port saw the giant ship, and an intelligence dealer was surprised: "Storm above, is that the 'Tree of Flesh' that has disappeared for several months?"

Alger's eyes narrowed, and it was indeed the "Tree of Flesh". Since the "Blood Admiral" was hunted by the "Emperor", this ship has never appeared in people's sight again.

At this time, someone else said: "Oh my god, it must be a hundred meters long!"

The pirate ships in the harbor were as small as sailing ships in front of it.

"Leave the dock and make room!" At this time, the official Beyonders gathered in this direction and ordered loudly.

There was no need for the official Beyonders to shout. Everyone knew to run outside the dock. No one would be stupid enough to go out to sea at this time, because it would only hit the muzzle of the "Tree of Flesh".

When Alger was hesitating whether to help, a huge thick fog suddenly appeared on the sea. This thick fog looked like a giant snake, "swimming" quickly towards the "Tree of Flesh".

At this time, the sea and port seemed to fall into an unspeakable silence for a moment.

Hula~

A silver-white ship shape that was ten times larger than the "Tree of Flesh" rushed out from the thick fog. On its tall mast, hung a flag that had never been seen before.

It was a pennant, with a black crown in the middle!

The whole world seemed to be moving again, and the sea seemed to be boiling.
