Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 642 The war begins

Hobert waved his hand, and stars appeared on the lake in front of them: "These are the prayers of the 'founder's' believers."

These prayers mainly come from the west bank of Full Moon Lake. A large number of people on the west bank of Full Moon Lake have become very mentally abnormal because their previous spiritual bodies were tortured by demons or members of the Aurora Society.

Hobert "fights fire with fire" and uses the mental shock the "Creator" gives them to dilute the previous impact they had received.

Probably after the Battle of South Colson, Hobert announced the honorable name of "The Founder" to them, so there are currently a large number of people on the West Bank who believe in the "Founder".

The people on the east coast basically believe in the Mother Earth Goddess.

After this period of time, Hobert had a conscious influence on the spirits of these believers, and their mental conditions were basically normal most of the time.

As for the stars of the "Creator"'s loved ones, those who have been marked, and the followers of the Extraordinary, they are still in the pool in front of the Iron Throne, and have not been moved here by Hobert.

In other words, the stars in this big lake are all prayers that Hobert has no time to look at.

Hobert grabbed one of the stars. The star floated to the surface of the water, and a sloppy middle-aged man appeared on the water. He was kneeling on the ground and praying devoutly.

He prayed that he could get a new pair of shoes, because a co-worker got new shoes and showed them off in front of him, which made him very angry. He also wished that he could get a new pair of shoes and show off in front of his co-workers.

Hobert smiled and explained: "Many of the prayers that appeared in the lake were people saved by the 'Creator' from evil organizations, and their mental states were somewhat abnormal.

"Put this kind of prayer with substantial content over there. The Creator will look at it if he has time."

Hobert raised his hand, and the star and the prayer moved to the center of the lake.

He was ready to ask the officials in the factory area to take care of the daily needs of these people. These workers were also paid and could take them shopping, buy some new clothes and shoes, and get their hair cut and take a shower.

Moira and Vina both nodded slowly. Through their own channels, they roughly knew something about the situation on the west bank of Full Moon Lake.

But what they didn't expect was that the "creator" didn't even give up on these lunatics.

"Let's look at one more star." Hobert said as he "caught" another star.

The star came to the lake, and this time an old man's prayer appeared, and his prayer was purely a greeting.

Hobert said: "To pray like this, you need to use the vision given to you by this lake to check the physical and spiritual conditions of the other person.

"If any problems are found, they should be classified into the middle of the lake. If there are no problems, let the star sink under the water.

"For example, this old man, although the color of his etheric body is a bit dim, that's because he is old, so don't worry about it and just sink the stars to the bottom of the lake."

Hobert reached out and pressed down, and the star disappeared.

Then he said to the two ladies with strange faces: "You don't have the authority to reply. The main job content is to help the 'creator' filter these prayers.

"This right of work should be given to you to practice. In two weeks, according to the order of the 'founder', a communication system within our organization will be established. Some information will be accurately conveyed through you to speed up the information propagation speed.

"Of course, that's something for later, you should do the work in front of you first."

The two ladies felt that they had come into contact with too many new things today, and they couldn't digest them for a while.

Then Hobert talked about the precautions: "First of all, your work is required to be kept confidential. If you are having a break and someone asks you about your work in the Kingdom of the Creator, the answer will always be: for the Creator. Take care of the Kingdom of God.

“In addition, your current scope of activities is only the ancient city, the lakeside, and the grassland over there.

"Also, have you seen that hexagonal tower? Yes, that's that building. The 'creator' sealed an evil devil inside.

"If there is any sound coming from over there while I am away, treat it as if you didn't hear anything, otherwise you will definitely die miserably."

Moira and Vina nodded quickly.

Finally, Hobert said: "Oh, by the way, you can go out and describe the architectural style here. In the future, in the field belonging to the 'creator', such an architectural style will be enforced."

The architectural style in this city, after a large-scale transformation by Hobert, is based on the style of ancient oriental buildings, with reasonable layout, harmonious lines, and very beautiful.

If Klein came here, he would definitely sigh: Isn't this the ancient city that can be seen everywhere in the scenic spot?

Hobert asked: "Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Moira asked: "What are our working hours?"

"Each person has 8 hours a day. If one of them takes a break, the other will have to work 12 hours. They have one day off per week. You can discuss it yourself." Hobert said: "The salary is currently 3 pounds per week. , and 3 points of merit."

They each asked a few questions about their work, and after Hobert answered them one by one, he taught them step by step how to read and deal with prayer.

Finally, he took them to their residence. At this time, their authority level was very low and they were unable to make any contact with the outside world.

After observing for a period of time, if they can calm down and work here, Hobert will consider giving them some permissions to facilitate their work.

Back in the "real world", Hobert's work and life continue. The phone is now on sale and there are several stores in Backlund.

But only people consulted, and not many people installed it.

However, many government departments have discovered the convenience of telephones and have begun purchasing in small quantities.

At present, for them, each department only needs one or two telephones, and it is customary to send people to negotiate any work between departments.

Just use the phone for simple things.

However, the newly launched electric bell business of "Earl's Light" has been widely praised.

Before the advent of electric bells, there would be a small hole as thick as a water pipe on the wall between the master's room and the servant's room, with a rope connecting it. When the master pulled the rope, the bell in the servant's room would ring.

The servant knows that this is the master calling him, and will rush to the master's room as soon as possible.

No matter how small the hole through which the rope is passed, there are privacy concerns for the owner.

The electric bell can completely solve this problem. The hole can be blocked directly. As long as the electricity is turned on and the master presses the button, the electric bell on the servant's side will ring.

Suddenly, there was a wave of enthusiasm for replacing electric bells among the nobles and rich people.

Electric bells can be used not only in residences, but also in offices. For example, there is a rattle between Hobert and his secretary, and there is also a hole in the wall. Now this hole can also be removed.

Later, electric bells began to be widely used in high-end hotels, restaurants and other places.

Hobert is not in a hurry about selling phones because he knows there will be a rush to buy them soon.

After entering October, Backlund ushered in the first cooling of the year. When the weather cooled down, it was easier for fog to form. Backlund, which had just been refreshing for a few days, was once again covered in thick fog.

As usual, Hobert discussed with Todd at "Earl's Light" to prepare for the launch of the motor business.

Yes, the motor has been developed by them.

In fact, the research and development of motors had already begun when electric lamps were put on sale. Recently, the R&D department has received participation from the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, and many research projects have been accelerated.

Among them was the motor. Originally, Hobert thought that prototypes of the motor would not be available until at least next year. Unexpectedly, just over half a month after establishing a cooperative relationship with the Church of Steam, he had already achieved a lot.

Hobert smiled and said: "With the advent of motors, industrial production will usher in a new model. By then, only three power plants in the suburbs of Backlund will not be enough."

"The power plant is not enough, we can just build more." Todd said with some worry: "But the Church of Steam suggested that we sell the technology of the power plant to others.

"I have heard a long time ago that many tycoons from Backlund have approached Archbishop Haydn and asked the archbishop for help in introducing them to establish cooperation with 'Earl's Light'.

"They are all devout believers in the Church of Steam. Archbishop Haydn should be unable to withstand the pressure."

"Then sell the technology to them." Hobert smiled: "The price is higher.

"By the way, these technologies can also be sold to people in the Republic of Intis."

Todd thought he heard wrongly: "Mr. Earl, that is our core competitiveness!"

Hobert leaned back in his chair and smiled: "Of course I know.

"You're so surprised only because there's one thing you didn't consider."

"what?"

Hobert said seriously: "The situation in the Northern Continent in the future..."

At this point, Hobert suddenly looked out the window at the fog: "Look, they are coming!"

……

Today is another day shrouded in thick fog in Backlund.

Everyone has long been accustomed to such a scene. Public carriages run as usual, and pedestrians appear in the streets of Backlund as usual.

Some of them were walking in a hurry, being chased by work; some were very leisurely, discussing the clothes and accessories they had just seen in the department store.

Although it wasn't raining, the gentlemen were still wearing wide-brimmed hats; the vagabonds were walking aimlessly as usual; the newsboys were running through the streets and alleys, shouting out today's news.

Suddenly, a strange sound appeared in the sky, making everyone look into the sky uneasily.

The voice gradually became clearer, like a sharp roar.

Boom~

The sudden explosion finally made everyone understand what the sound was: the sound of a falling bomb!

What followed was screams and screams. The bomb just collapsed a shop. Many people were killed and injured. Some people at the explosion site were suppressed by the collapsed walls, and some were blown away. One leg was broken, and some were covered with glass. The scene was horrific.

The crowd on the street immediately became panicked. Everyone was running around like headless flies, looking for a place they thought was safe.

Boom~

A bomb exploded in the crowd, and the people around the bomb were immediately blown to pieces. Shrapnel and stones were scattered everywhere. Broken limbs flew everywhere, and flesh, blood, and internal organs were torn everywhere.

The shrapnel passed through several people and fell to the ground, or remained in someone's body.

Where the shrapnel passed, a layer of blood mist first appeared, and the injured fell to the ground and howled. Many people screamed with great energy one second, and then fainted due to the gushing blood of themselves the next second.

This is just a corner of Backlund. Today, Backlund is full of such tragedies.

In the financial district and commercial district, only one airship formation came over and circled around. This time, the bombing was mainly aimed at the northern district where government departments were concentrated, as well as the industrial district and dock area where heavy industry was located.

……

Inside "Earl's Light".

Amidst the constant explosions and calls, Hobert came out of the office building. He "tampered" with the temperature of the fog with a wave of his hand, and the fog in the sky turned into a light rain and fell to the ground.

At the same time, the scene in mid-air was also very clear. Todd and others who were following behind took a breath of cold air. There were more than a dozen airships flying the flag of the Fusac Empire hovering in the sky, heading towards the "Earl's Light" Bombing over.

These behemoths shock people's hearts, as if they are giant beasts that swallow life!

The light rain at Hobert's manufacturing site ended quickly, and the thick fog quickly blocked everyone's sight, and the airship "hided" again.

Hobert immediately realized that today's thick fog was unusual and that there might be a "weather warlock" manipulating the weather.

His first thought was: Loen's angel's reaction speed was too slow!

But then he thought: No, they must really hope for such a bombing. After all, for now, if there is a war between the Loen Kingdom and the Feysac Empire, Loen has a great advantage.

This bombing allowed the Kingdom of Loen to declare war on the Feysac Empire in a high-sounding manner as a righteous person. For the upper class of the Kingdom of Loen, this was a good thing!

In the blink of an eye, the airship bombing had arrived not far from the "Earl's Light".

Hobert waved his hand and "tampered" with the direction of the force. The bomb that was falling suddenly flew back and rushed towards the airship that dropped the bomb.

Boom~

The air waves generated by a series of explosions in mid-air pushed away the fog, and Hobert saw that all the bombs had been detonated in advance and did not damage the airship.

Immediately afterwards, the airship was once again obscured by the fog and dropped the bomb at an angle that was difficult to guard against.

Hobert raised his hand, made a fist, and pulled it down. He "distorted" gravity and "tampered" with gravity.

The sound of metal being "stretched" to its limit suddenly sounded in the air.

Hobert felt an extraordinary force pulling on him. He smiled slightly and continued to exert force, constantly "twisting" and "tampering".

The airships above will soon be unable to bear it any longer. If the tug between the two demigods continues for at most four to five seconds, the airships will definitely disintegrate!

At this moment, an employee not far from Hobert suddenly raised his hand: "Psychic puncture!"

Hobert felt as if a hand had suddenly crushed his brain.

He took two steps back in confusion and fell to the ground.

Amidst the violent ringing in his ears, Hobert saw a female employee rushing towards him. She had a dagger with a green light in her hand and stabbed towards his chest.

The whole process may only take a second, but it may be less than a second. Before the people around him can react, the dagger has been handed to Hobert.

Hobert "distorted" his position almost out of instinct, but his "distortion" didn't seem to work very well today, and he only escaped a dozen meters.

The female employee caught up with him and stabbed Hobert again.

At this time, Hobert's brain finally became clearer. He put one hand deep into his pocket and broke the seal of the "0-71" disaster porcelain doll. A mirror suddenly appeared on his chest.

He knew that the other party was very familiar with "chaos" or "distortion" abilities, and it would be difficult to avoid her attacks using these abilities.

Ripples rippled on the mirror, and the female employee's dagger was "swallowed" by the mirror.

Hobert looked at the other party, his face was pale and he showed an ugly smile: "Althea Tamara!"

He was certain that this was the "Chaos Hunter" hidden in Backlund by the Tamara family!

For more than a week, Hobert had been intentionally or unintentionally creating opportunities for her to kill him, but the other party was very calm and never took the bait.

Unexpectedly, the other party took advantage of the moment when the war broke out today to suddenly launch an attack.

Hobert can be sure that the other party must have a sealed object that can hide spirituality and malice. Otherwise, Hobert will definitely feel the threat from her in advance, and will not be aware of the other party's attack when she raises her hand.

These thoughts flashed through Hobert's mind, and his thinking became much clearer again.

But recalling the Sequence 3-level "spiritual puncture" he had just received in an unprepared state, Hobert still felt a splitting headache.

Althea did not respond to Hobert. After gaining the advantage, she continued to attack and said: "It is forbidden to connect to the Mirror World here." She stabbed Hobert again.

After using this "forbidden", she immediately realized that she could not completely "forbid" the connection between the real world around her and the "mirror world", it just made the corresponding operations relatively more complicated.

Hobert no longer used the abilities related to the "Mirror World". He was somewhat embarrassed and panicked, and immediately "distorted" the direction in which Althea thrust out the sword.

Just as Hobert expected, Althea's hand dangled like a snake, but in the end it stabbed Hobert.

Just like Hobert is very familiar with the ability of the "arbitrator" path, Althea is also very familiar with the ability of the "lawyer" path. She used the "deprivation" ability to temporarily deprive Hobert of the "distortion" ability. So her hand finally found the right direction.

But at the moment when the dagger was about to hit Hobert, she suddenly put away the sword and took a few steps back.

Hobert thought to himself that it was a pity. He already held a "Luck Stealer" charm in his hand. Althea's dagger was extremely poisonous at first glance, and it must be able to kill extraordinary people at the third level of the sequence. The kind that was seriously injured.

So Hobert planned to wait for Althea to stab him, then steal it and exchange fate with her.

But Althea must have noticed something. Even if Hobert acted well, she was not fooled.

Hobert put away his embarrassment and panic, which actually contained the opponent's offensive and gave him a chance to turn defeat into victory.

He was about to tell Todd and others who came to help to hide, but Orthea turned around and ran away.

After finally luring the other party out, how can we let the other party escape?

Hobert gestured towards Todd and the others, and chased after them before he could even say a word.

Fortunately, thanks to Hobert's tug just now, the Fusac Empire's airship knew that there was a demigod here, so it bypassed the "Earl's Light" and began bombing in other directions.

Just after chasing out of the "Earl's Light" factory, Hobert "distorted" Althea's intentions and turned his escape into a charge.

Althea seemed to have foresight and immediately "imprisoned" herself. She just stood still, but did not retreat.

Hobert used "Distortion" to distort the space and took the opportunity to catch up. As soon as Althea escaped from the "imprisonment" state, he clenched his fist and waved downward: "Execution!" Hobert immediately felt that his neck was being pinched. An illusory rope was caught, and then the ground beneath his feet sank, and a deep pit appeared. Hobert suddenly had the illusion that he was about to be hanged.

He immediately "tampered" with his own gravity, making himself as light as a goose feather.

But he soon discovered that this didn't work either. The feeling of being strangled still existed!

During this period, Althea did not continue to attack, but chose to continue to escape.

Hobert immediately "distorted" the space, but even if his own position was distorted, the illusory rope was still there, still trying to hang him!

He wanted to "gift" the rope to a frightened stray dog ​​on the roadside, but found that this extraordinary attack was so targeted that he couldn't "gift" it.

Even though it was very uncomfortable, Hobert's pursuit continued, and Althea never left his sight. When Althea took the opportunity to enter the spirit world, Hobert stopped her by "distorting" space.

This feeling of being locked around the neck lasted for four or five seconds. Hobert's tongue was strangled out, and the bones in his neck were broken several times. The illusory rope finally disappeared.

Hobert "donated" the discomfort and pain caused by the previous attack to a street lamp on the side of the road, and the street lamp exploded immediately.

Look at Olseya again, it’s already a kilometer or two away in front!

The path under the opponent's feet seemed to be retreating, and he had already traveled dozens of meters by lifting his feet. This speed was no slower than "Distortion".

Explosions often sounded around, and workers screamed and ran outside the factory, causing chaos on the road.

Fortunately, the main target of the Fusac Empire fleet was the factory and did not drop bombs on the workers.

Although there was chaos on the road, it did not affect the pursuit of the two saints. Their speed was so fast that people around them could hardly see them.

Today, it is destined that there will not be any official demigods to stop them, or that those demigods have no time to control them.

In order to shorten the distance between them, Hobert "used" Althea's ability, causing her to pull Hobert forward a few hundred meters more every time she took a step.

It was like Hobert took advantage of the opponent's ability and got a free ride.

Coupled with the advancement speed of Hobert's own abilities, the distance between the two people was soon reduced by half.

But Althea noticed this immediately, and with a wave of her hand, she "imprisoned" Hobert in place.

And Hobert immediately "distorted" the concept of himself and the other party. When the "imprisonment" attack was about to hit Hobert, it actually "flyed" back again.

Althea made a downward gesture, and the "imprisonment" floated to the side of the road like a ball, "imprisoning" dozens of pedestrians in place.

At this time, Hobert once again used the ability of "0-71" to summon mirrors to surround Althea.

Their location was already far away from the "Earl's Light", so Althea's previous "prohibition" had expired.

Althea "exiled" the mirror in front of her, leaving a gap in the circle of mirrors, and continued to move forward to escape.

Hobert plunged into a mirror. Althea's pupils suddenly condensed, a mirror appeared on her retina, and Hobert came out of her eyes.

"Imprisonment!" Althea imprisoned Hobert outside the mirror, and Hobert was immediately stuck as soon as he reached the shoulder position.

Instead of waiting for the "imprisonment" to end, he immediately slipped back into the mirror.

Almost at the same time, a figure flashed through a piece of broken glass on the roadside, and Hobert got out of it.

Althea raised her hand: "Deprive!"

She could feel that Hobert's actions in the "Mirror World" relied on a high-level sealed artifact.

Therefore, she did not "deprive" Hobert of his actions in the "mirror world", but temporarily "deprived" the reflective properties of the broken glass, so that it no longer had the concept of a "mirror".

So Hobert was stuck again. He waved his hand in the air and "tampered" with the surrounding dense fog, causing the fog to condense into light rain and fall to the ground.

At this time, while Hobert was chasing, the light rain was freezing. Althea had to pull out her feet every time she took a step. After only taking two steps, her shoes were frozen on the road.

Althea was barefoot, thinking about countermeasures while running. Every time she took a step without shoes, the soles of her feet froze with the ground. Every time she raised her feet, a large area of ​​the ground stuck to her feet, making her speed obvious. Slow down.

This kind of "tampering" or "restoration" of natural rules is not what the "arbitrator" approach is good at.

"Deprived!" She had to temporarily deprive the surrounding water of the ability to condense into ice.

But Hobert used this series of operations to catch up.

Just listen to Hobert chanting the spell later: "Deceive!"

Althea noticed that he had used a spell, so she drew her dagger again, first knocked open a wall on the side of the road to avoid the other party's spell, and then faced Hobert, looking for an opportunity to escape again.

At this time, Hobert had also drawn out his rapier and stabbed him. He knew that his extraordinary ability could easily be neutralized by the opponent, so he simply used the rapier to attack.

Althea sneered slightly and stabbed Hobert with the dagger in her hand. She also knew that if the "lawyer" and the "arbitrator" used extraordinary strength, it would be easy for them to work in vain for a long time.

Neither of them evaded, and their intention to exchange injuries for injuries was very obvious.

Althea didn't think she would lose, but instead thought this was an opportunity to counterattack her target.

There was a soft "pop" sound, and Hobert's dagger pierced Orthea's heart, but Orthea stabbed Hobert with her dagger without feeling it.

At this time, the dagger in her hand suddenly transformed and turned into her belt.

It turned out that she had not been able to avoid the "deception" charm just now. Hobert had "deceived" her spiritual perception and vision, making her think that the belt was her dagger.

As a result, Hobert's sword stabbed Althea, but she just hit Hobert with her belt.

Althea threw away her belt and immediately retreated. At the same time, she felt the coldness of the wound, and knew that Hobert's rapier also had extraordinary attacks, so she planned to "imprison" the wound immediately.

At this time, the two of them were in a small dessert shop, and Hobert used the second spell: "Steal!"

Hobert "stole" Althea's three abilities starting from "imprisonment" and going on to "deprivation" and "imprisonment".

For the next two hours, Althea will not be able to use these abilities!

Coincidentally, because the abilities of "imprisonment" and "imprisonment" were stolen at the same time, Althea temporarily lost the ability to control injuries.

"Exile!" Because of her spiritual warning, the injury caused by the rapier would be very dangerous if not treated immediately, so she immediately "exiled" the injury.

At the Sequence 3 level, the "arbitrator" can already exile and imprison some abstract things.

"Tampering!" Hobert immediately "tampered" with Althea's "exile" goal, which caused a box of desserts on the counter to be exiled into the void.

Similarly, Hobert is also a Sequence 3 and has the ability to perform abstract operations.

At this time, due to the bombing, the clerks in the dessert shop had already fled, but even here, they did not dare to ask Althea or Hobert to charge.

Now Hobert is not in a hurry, and plans to keep fighting with Althea. Anyway, the more he spends time with her, the more serious her injuries will be.

"Execution!" Althea realized that she had to escape first to have a chance to control her injuries, so she used her execution ability again.

"Use!" This time Hobert was on guard and used the ability of "exploitation" to change the opponent's ability to "execute" from 5 seconds to 1 second.

An illusory guillotine appeared behind Hobert's neck. When the guillotine fell and half of Hobert's neck was cut off, the "execution" that lasted only one second ended.

The "execution" ability is flexible and changeable. If it encounters an Beyonder below a demigod, the "Chaos Hunter" will choose to directly execute the opponent's spirit body.

Because the spirit body at that level has not yet undergone qualitative changes, the spirit body of the general target will follow the "judgment" of the "Chaos Hunter" and die immediately.

But as an Extraordinary at Hobert's level, he would refuse to accept this "judgment", so the method of "executing" the opponent's spirit body was of little significance.

Only "execution" methods such as hanging and beheading can cause substantial damage to enemies at this level.

Taking advantage of Hobert's "gift" of his injuries, Althea finally had a chance to escape.

This time, Hobert did not rush to catch up. Instead, he injected his spirituality into the rapier and opened his mouth in the direction of Althea.

It seemed that no sound was made, but Althea in front suddenly paused and her whole body became stiff.

Hobert used the "Language of the Dead" ability of the rapier. Althea's spirit body had been injured just now, but now it was attacked by the extraordinary ability of the undead, and the injury suddenly worsened.

Althea took a deep breath: "It is forbidden to attack spirits here!"

"Amplify!" Hobert did not attack the spirit body, but simply amplified her injuries.

Althea suddenly turned pale, her lips turned purple, her whole body was trembling, and she could no longer escape.

Hobert was not too far away from her, and seemed to be in no rush to attack: "After you die, I will channel you, and then find the valley where Tamara is hiding and destroy everything there!"

Althea simply stopped running. She smiled coldly and said, "Then I want to thank you for destroying that gathering place for bastards and perverts."

Hobert was slightly startled, but then he continued: "I've always been curious about why you always wore a gauze hat.

"Today I suddenly realized that you have scars on your face, or you don't want to be seen, right?

"Haha, your face now is not your own face at all!"

Althea was obviously surprised: "After I die, burn my body directly without looking at my face!"

Hobert laughed "haha": "Not only do I want to see it, but I also plan to publish your face in the newspaper so that everyone knows what Althea's face looks like!"

Althea was very angry: "Death!"

She punched Hobert, but found that her whole body was stiff and her limbs no longer obeyed her command.

Hobert, on the other hand, took advantage of the opponent's irritation: "Crazy!"

Althea's eyes looked angry for a while, worried for a while, and immediately fell into a "crazy" state.

So Hobert took the thin sword and stabbed Althea in the chest again.

"Arrogant!" Hobert continued the mental attack, while the rapier pierced Althea's left eye, and finally penetrated her brain.

Then Hobert quickly retreated, and Althea screamed and scratched a few times as if she had a nightmare, and finally froze there motionless, as if she had been dead for a while and became stiff.

Hobert immediately used the ability of "travel" and returned to his study with the body, and immediately sacrificed the body to the "State of Disorder".

It is estimated that the Tamara family may already know about Althea's death, but at this time, the angels in their family do not dare to enter Backlund.

At this time, the angels of the Loen royal family did not stop the Fusac Empire's air attack. It was not that they were too old to carry out the sword, but that they had no intention of stopping it.

But when other angels come to Backlund, they will definitely take action.

Even if they don't take action, it is easy to cause misunderstandings at this time, and it will be thought that the Tamara family has defected to the Fusac Empire.

Now that the Tamara family does not control secular power, offending the Augustus family would be very detrimental to them.

Hobert entered the "Country of Disorder" confidently and boldly, and summoned the sealed artifact "1-110" that matched the "Ferryman" to channel Althea.

This level of channeling is no longer like entering a spiritual space full of gray mist like before. Instead, it can directly pull the target's spirit body out of the corpse for channeling.

Of course, Althea is an absolute high-level member of the Tamara family, so her spirit body must have been treated accordingly to prevent being channeled.

That's why Hobert simply took her to the "Land of Disorder", which could effectively isolate some of the Tamara family's arrangements.

When he was about to pull out the other party's spirit body, Hobert said to Althea's corpse: "Out of respect for the deceased, I won't look at your face, but you must answer my questions well."

After saying that, he pulled out Althea's spirit body. The moment she was pulled out, her face was wiped away, and there was nothing on her entire face.

Hobert asked: "Where is the valley where the Tamara family is hiding?"

Althea replied: "In the Minsk Mountains, probably on the border between the Loen Kingdom and the Fusac Empire."

"How do you find it? Or how do you get in there?"

"It's hard to find if you look for it from the ground, but if you look for it from the air, you can see a tree on the ground with a completely black trunk. If you circle around the tree three times, you can see the valley."

Hobert nodded: "Tell me what you know about the 'Uncertain Fog'."

Althea replied: "That is an evil god. Our faction has always refused to believe in him, but the 'Uncertain Mist' has contaminated many members of our faction.

"This is the reason why our leader compromised during the civil war. He no longer objects to family members' belief in the 'Uncertain Mist', but family members must have the right to choose whether to believe in it or not.

"The last time I saw our leader, he told me pessimistically that the 'fog of uncertainty' was about to descend on the earth."

Hobert didn't expect that there was such a faction in the Tamara family. He first considered whether he could use it for his own purposes.

But I soon felt that if I put aside this consideration for the time being, unless they came to seek refuge, it would be better to turn them into extraordinary characteristics and cultivate the power to be loyal to myself.

Hobert thought for a while and asked: "Do you know where Eris is hiding?"

"do not know."

"Besides that valley, what other important strongholds does the Tamara family have?"

Althea's spirit replied: "There are three on the surface, one in the Gale Basin in the middle of the Honakis Mountains, and one in..."

Hobert raised his hand, indicating that she would wait a moment before continuing to answer.

Hobert stretched out his hand towards the pool, and a map of the Northern Continent appeared on the surface of the pool.

Hobert said: "Mark their locations."

Althea's spirit body looked at the map, and as if poking it with a finger, ripples began to appear in three places.

One is in the Hornakis Mountains, that part of the Loen Kingdom; one is in the northern part of the Evernight Plain of the Fusac Empire; and the other is on Damir Island.

"There is another stronghold that I accidentally learned about." Althea said: "That stronghold is kept secret from the members of our faction."

As he spoke, another point appeared on the map, which turned out to be the Oradek Islands on the west side of the northern continent.

"Okay, you can go to the underworld." Hobert waved his hand, and Althea's spirit body disappeared.

Then Hobert took another look at the dagger she used before. It was a first-level sealed object, and the target seemed to be the "Coffin Bearer" in Sequence 3 of the "Cultivator" path.

The main ability is to damage the target with poison. It doesn't have to hit the target. It only needs to be close enough to the target to poison the target.

Even a demigod will immediately become weak after being poisoned, and even lose the strength to stand.

In addition, as Hobert guessed, this sealed object has the ability to control spirituality and the ability to temporarily make all one's emotions disappear.

Althea used this method to sneak attack Hobert at close range.

It may be because the ability of this sealed object is relatively simple, so the negative effects are not great. It is indeed very suitable for use by extraordinary people of the "arbitrator" path who are good at fighting.

As for its origin, Hobert estimated that it was captured by the Tamara family during the "War of the Four Emperors".

Hobert named this sealed object "1-114" and placed it on the stone platform over there.

Accelerating the speed at which Althea was extracting extraordinary characteristics, Hobert took the body out, burned it to ashes, and buried it underground in the wilderness on the outskirts of Backlund.

At this time, the bombing of the Fusac Empire had ended, and Hobert was about to return to "Earl's Light" when he saw the carriage of Georgina, Director of MI9, entering the courtyard.

Hobert smiled: "The royal family responded very quickly."

The car door opened, Georgina got off the carriage and said to Hobert on the terrace: "Princess Alice, please go and listen to the symphony."
