Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 653 A free communication session with a huge amount of information

Of course Klein knew that Hobert's concerns were actually for Mr. Fool.

He said in his heart: Fortunately, I have been maintaining the illusion that Mr. Fool is awakening. In addition, Hobert is still very reliable in this kind of matter. He knows how to convey his request to "The Fool" through the "world" and to "The Fool". "Leave plenty of leeway.

So he operated "The World" and said: "Please tell me your request, and I will convey it to Mr. Fool for you."

"Thank you." Hobert said: "I learned from the great 'creator' that Mr. Fool holds the power of 'grafting'.

"Can I 'graft' my bloodline into a strange life form?

"Well, I remember saying before that the curse on me involves the Night Emperor and the Blood Moon Queen. One is at the level of a true god and the other is at the level of an archangel."

This is also the reason why Hobert didn't go to the old man in Leonard's body for help. After all, although the old man now has the Sequence 1 level, he is very weak. He can hardly deal with Amon's angel-level clone, and it may be difficult to complete similar tasks. operation.

Klein told The World: "After the party, I will report this matter to Mr. Fool."

At the same time, he had begun to think about this problem in his heart. He first sighed: The "creator" has a very detailed understanding of the "divineer" path! After I was promoted, I just used this gray fog to master the ability similar to "grafting".

Then Klein thought: But the abilities I currently have are very limited. The curse on Hobert probably involves the level of a true god. Even if I use the "blasphemous card", I can probably only play the Sequence 2 level. With his strength, it is estimated that it will be difficult to help Hobert.

In the afternoon, she usually deals with some affairs on Longtail Island or South Colson, or goes to other islands to digest potions. In the evening, she spends a lot of time reading magazines or playing cards, and looks for this kind of strange custom by herself. Islands are such a waste of time.

But these thoughts were not suitable to be expressed immediately. Klein manipulated the "world" to talk about another thing: "I have helped you find a pair of Fulgrim's Dog's eyes, and we can complete the deal of the 'Card of Blasphemy' ”

"The Hanged Man" Alger said with a smile: "There are too many places like this. I know that there is an island that believes in a strange god, which seems to be called the 'God of Sea Beasts'. The image of this god is that it only has a head wearing a hat. .”

This question could actually be asked in private, but Forsi wanted to know the answer immediately, so he simply asked it on the spot.

Another way to use it is to summon yourself by holding the "Tyrant" card while using the "Poseidon Scepter". Using the power of the gray mist, you can completely suppress the "Poseidon Scepter" for a period of time.

Alger was most disappointed, because even the "Magician" had begun to attack Sequence 5, and he himself was still stuck at this level: "Emperor", "World" and "Hermit" were already Sequence 4, "Justice", "Sun" ”, “Moon”, and “Stars” are all already ranked 5, and only “Magician” is ranked lower than me.

He asked: "Is this a strange custom?"

After they completed the transaction, Hobert reminded Forsi: "Don't delve deeply into those gods, let alone follow those gods."

"In order to avoid corresponding impacts or contamination, it is best not to participate in local sacrifices and not to approach those statues at will."

Hobert smiled and said it was nothing.

In his opinion, these wild gods are basically demigods who are in bad condition. As long as they keep their distance, there should be no problem.

Then Alger added: "There is also a cannibal tribe with very special customs. They also believe in a strange god, so they have many strange customs..."

Hobert nodded: "Okay, after the party, I will report this matter to the 'creator' immediately."

morning? What morning? Isn’t the morning meant for sleeping in and staying in bed?

Thinking of this, Hobert couldn't help but sigh: Do I have to wait until Klein is promoted to Sequence 2 before I can be promoted? The war will be over by then!

Hobert didn't have any good ideas about this at the moment, so he could only think about it after the party was over.

Alger was stunned for a moment before asking, "Is there something wrong with these wild gods?"

Alger secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for the reminder."

With the "Tyrant" card, you can make further seals, which can be taken to the real world for a minute or two.

At a Tarot meeting two or three months ago, Klein and Hobert reached a deal for the "Tyrant" card. Klein needed to use a pair of Fulgrim's Dog's eyes in exchange for the "blasphemous card." .

Hobert replied: "It doesn't matter, but it's best not to record their image or too specific information."

But Klein is different. He does not have the "Fool" card or the "Desecrated Card" in the adjacent path. In Source Castle, the "Desecrated Card" card can only play a limited role, so Klein can only be used in the "Grey Mist". "Shanghai" has abilities that are probably one level higher!

When she was playing the role of "Recorder" recently, she discovered that the more customs and local culture that were beyond her understanding, or that seemed new to her, the faster she could digest the potion.

This opened the eyes of other members and sighed that there are such strange customs.

This is exactly why Hobert reminded Forsi at the Tarot meeting. He was actually reminding Alger and others: "I don't know, but in my opinion, these wild gods are either in very bad condition." A Sequence Extraordinary, or simply an Outer God!

Fulgrim's Dog volunteered a pair of eyes, but when Klein said with some embarrassment that he still needed a pair.

Forsi asked: "What if I just record the stories of these gods, or the customs formed under the influence of these gods?"

The Dogs of Fulgrim were slightly startled, but there were still two different Dogs of Fulgrim, and another pair was made up for Klein.

Klein traded this card mainly to suppress the "Poseidon's Scepter". Currently, the "Poseidon's Scepter" can only be used "above the gray mist" because its negative effects are too strong.

He mentioned three islands with strange customs, and Cattleya the Hermit also talked about two similar islands.

"That island is probably between the Sea of ​​Mist and the Sea of ​​Violence, and it's called Serabo Island." Alger said, "Remember to take off your hat when you go there.

Hobert said: "Probably not."

After Alger heard the word "outer gods", he asked with some concern: "If I just inquire about the information about those gods, will it be affected?"

At this time, he suddenly thought of a question: My prediction may be wrong! When I held the "Black Emperor" card, I had a very high status very early. That's because I am an Extraordinary of the "Black Emperor" path, I hold the "Black Emperor" card, and I use the power of the source material "State of Disorder" corresponding to this path. Therefore, the "creator" can have a very high status.

"This is a local custom. The locals believe that since gods wear hats, it would be disrespectful to the gods if ordinary people also wear hats."

Forsi said: "Yes, of course it does. Please be more specific."

At this time, Hobert suddenly realized that "The Fool" might not be of much help in his promotion process.

Many other members realized that Miss Magician was actually digesting the "Recorder's" potion.

Alger only felt that there was a lump in his chest that was difficult to eliminate, and he wished he could immediately explore the ruins left by the elves with the "Emperor".

When he was looking for the main ingredients for the "ancient scholar"'s potion, as soon as he arrived not far from Source Castle, he met a group of Fulgrim's dogs. They looked very docile, and they should have felt that he was the current master of Source Castle.

Although the "Card of Blasphemy" is theoretically all 22 cards of the same level, judging from the fact that different cards can attract each other to the extraordinary characteristics of its corresponding path, in the hands of extraordinary people of the same path, it can often have more magical properties. Effect.

After the individual communication between the two ended, "Magician" Forsi immediately said: "I hope to trade some places with strange customs or cultures with you, for 50 pounds per message."

But he mentioned this matter again at the last party. The "Emperor" said that he had been very busy recently and it would take some time before we could explore the ruins together.

To be on the safe side, we can only wait a little longer.

After reaching the deal, the main hall became quiet for a while.

This also heralded the end of the transaction session and everyone began to communicate freely.

Hobert first said: "I may issue some tasks to you in the near future, please prepare accordingly."

In the previous Tarot meeting, Klein and Cattleya each owed the "Emperor" one demigod-level mission, and the other members owed three sequence-1 level missions.

The civil war in the South Balam Principality might start at some point. If two demigods and a few Sequence 5 helpers suddenly appear, it will have an unexpected effect.

But the premise is that the "Rose School" wants to take the opportunity to participate in the civil strife in the South Balam Principality. Otherwise, with the extraordinary power organized by those local kings and warlords, Hobert can kill them all while eating hot pot and singing.

In Hobert's view, the "Rose School" will definitely participate, because the Highland Kingdom is adjacent to the South Balam Principality. As long as they are not fools, they can understand that after giving the South Balam Principality enough time to become stronger, They will definitely be threatened.

After all, this principality has an inextricable relationship with the "founder", and the "Rose School" had a war with the "creator" before, and it was a hostile relationship.

"Moon" Emlyn asked: "Mr. Emperor, what kind of mission is it probably?"

Hobert replied: "Fight the 'Rose School', or carry out assassination operations in the Southern Continent."

He paused and then said: "I will provide you with a way to the Southern Continent or the corresponding magical items."

The other members were slightly stunned, they were all willing to accept such a task.

Then Leonard asked: "I got some news that there is going to be civil strife in the South Balam Principality. Is that true?"

"Yes." Hobert smiled: "We want to attack the power of the local warlords."

Cattleya and Alger were both slightly stunned. They had already heard about the South Balam Principality. It was extremely abnormal that a principality could be established under the contemporary political system.

They just didn't understand for a while the relationship between the "Emperor" and the Principality of Nanbailang.

But after thinking for a moment, they realized the reason for this abnormality: this principality was the bribe of the "founder" forces by the Kingdom of Loen!

Cattleya realized: I should have thought of it earlier! Longtail Island is the fiefdom of Hobert, and the Principality of South Balam is the fiefdom of Duke Hobert. Maybe Hobert is the "Emperor" himself! Mr. Xingxing obviously knew this, so he directly asked the "Emperor" about the situation of the Nanbailang Principality.

Alger said in his heart: Such bribery is normal. After all, since the Battle of South Colson, the power of the "Founder" has been a force that cannot be ignored in the extraordinary world. As long as this power does not fall to Loen's enemies, Just allowing them to establish a principality in the southern continent would be a very good deal. Currently, the Principality of South Balam is legally subordinate to the Kingdom of Loen, which is equivalent to putting a label on this principality.

At this time, Leonard asked again: "Are you planning to support a new group of agents?" "We plan to govern that land ourselves." Hobert explained: "That's why we need to eradicate all the original forces. "

Leonard added: "I don't understand politics, but I want to remind you that your actions make the church think that it will cause chaos in the local order and increase casualties."

Hobert smiled: "That's because the church bishops don't know how many slaves die unnaturally every year..."

Having said this, he was stunned for a moment and then said: "Ah, I understand. After the party is over, I will take time to talk to the church.

“I will build more churches of the Church of the Night Goddess in the South Balam Principality, and by the way, there are also churches of the Church of the Mother Goddess of the Earth, the Church of the Storm, and the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery.

"I believe that after I tell the bishops of several churches about the idea of ​​building a church, they will understand our actions."

Hobert said to Leonard sincerely: "Thank you for the reminder."

Leonard was stunned: I didn't mean that! I just want to remind you that the church is paying close attention to this matter... Well, it seems that I really don't understand politics.

At this time, "The World" asked: "Will a civil war break out?"

"Probably." Hobert said.

"The World" nodded and said nothing more.

Alger was a little surprised: "Why are there such deep conflicts with the local warlords?"

Theoretically speaking, the warlords in the Southern Continent have long been tamed by the colonial army and have become very docile.

"To put it bluntly, it's a matter of dominion." Hobert said: "Imagine that in the Church of Storms, there is an archbishop who only needs to turn over a certain amount of property every year, and he can do whatever he wants in his own diocese, using and buying and selling believers as slaves. Taxing believers, etc., but the headquarters of the Church of Storms has no right to intervene.

"Do you think something like this could happen in the Church of Storms?"

Alger understood what "emperor" meant: "No."

He originally wanted to remind the "Emperor" that the situation in the colonies was different from that in the northern continent, and there was no way to effectively manage the indigenous people and aborigines.

But he thought about what he saw and heard on Longwei Island, and finally said nothing.

At this time, Cattleya thought of another thing: "I remember that at a previous gathering, we talked about Roen's sneak attack on the capital of the Feysac Empire.

"I just received news that the chief planner of that operation seems to be Hobert. Was that also an operation led by the forces of the 'Founder'?"

They did talk about this matter once at a previous party, but they only talked for a few words. Hobert didn't have time to show off the results of that battle.

"That's right." Hobert smiled: "That was the first cooperation between us and the Loen royal family."

Cattleya nodded: "So, in this war, are you on Roen's side?"

Hobert did not make a clear statement: "We just cooperated with Luen once."

Emlyn was more concerned about another question: "Mr. Emperor, I heard that the bombing of Saint Milon caused very serious losses to the Feysac Empire. Is this true?"

Hobert shook his head: "This is a rumor. According to the exact information I got later, the losses of the Fusac Empire were not large. The death toll was even single digits, and it hardly affected their industrial production."

Emlyn frowned: "I knew you shouldn't believe the news in the newspaper."

Then he said a little strangely: "But I heard that the Fusac Empire's newspapers also reported that this sneak attack caused huge losses to them?"

Last week, several vampires from the Feysac Empire happened to come to Backlund to support the assassination of the "Original Moon" believers, so he got some first-hand news about the Feysac Empire.

"I also heard about this." Hobert explained: "This should be a propaganda method of the Fusac Empire to make the soldiers and people on the front line hate Loen even more.

"In addition, this war is after all the Fusac Empire's attack on Loen. Their logistical supply lines are longer. If the supplies are not delivered in place, they can explain to the soldiers on the front line that it is because of the bombing of Loen that there is a shortage of supplies."

Hobert smiled and said, "The responsibility is completely thrown away."

Emlyn was stunned for a moment: "This seems like something politicians can do."

This sentence made other members nod in agreement.

Alger added: "I have read Loen's newspaper, and it said that there were only 24 airships in this sneak attack, and 8 airships came back, right?"

Hobert replied: "Yes."

Cattleya, like Alger, was somewhat surprised: "How did you do it?"

Even if the angels of the Fusac Empire are not in Saint Milon, they should be able to return support within a few minutes. Could it be that the "creator" has also mobilized angel-level power?

There was nothing to hide from this information, so Hobert said: "Although there are a few demigods in the airship formation, they can at most withstand one round of attacks from the angels of the Feysac Empire.

"At the critical moment, the 'Builder' moved the airship formation to the sea, so he escaped from danger."

Everyone was stunned, feeling that the "creator" had clearly sided with Luen, otherwise he would not have taken action.

Hobert smiled and said: "I know what everyone is thinking, but you must also know one thing. Most of the Extraordinaries in this operation are elites loyal to the 'founder'."

Although the Tony family has not been incorporated yet, Hobert is very clear that there will be no obstacles to their incorporation.

If the "Creator" had not taken action at that time, even the semi-god-level Extraordinaries would have been very dangerous. This would have gone against Hobert's original intention. After all, for him, a very important purpose of this operation was to let An "Iron Knight" has been promoted.

In the end, all three demigods of the Tony family died, and why did they get promoted? That was entirely to send extraordinary characteristics to the Fusac Empire.

But Hobert also knew that it was unclear to explain this kind of thing, and the "creator" had already gained some benefits from his intervention, so he simply did not explain it in detail.

At the Tarot meeting at this time, although Hobert did not say it clearly, everyone could guess that the price offered by the Kingdom of Loen was generous enough. "Take action personally.

This topic ended here, and the hall was quiet for a few seconds before Emlyn's eyes fell on Mr. Star: "If you were official extraordinary people, how would you deal with a priest from a hostile force within your jurisdiction during the war? Personnel? He hasn’t done anything bad and doesn’t plan to do anything bad.”

The Kingdom of Feneport has not yet declared war on Loen, but everyone knows that this old rival of the Loen Kingdom is waiting for an opportunity, and it will be a matter of time before it declares war.

The haze of war made the believers and people around Harvest Church look at Bishop Utravsky more and more wrongly.

The other members thought to themselves almost at the same time: In fact, Mr. Moon can remove the "if".

Leonard thought for a while and said: "Protective detention."

If Emlyn hadn't mentioned this, he would have forgotten that Backlund had a Harvest Church.

When Klein heard Leonard's answer, he couldn't help but smile inwardly: This answer was very spiritual, and he was worthy of being the newly promoted captain of the "Red Gloves" team.

After hearing the answer, Emlyn just nodded slowly and said nothing.

After answering Emlyn's question, Leonard turned to the question he wanted to discuss: "Does Backlund have any major hidden events recently?"

The Backlund bombing and the King becoming a god are both major events for Backlund, but Leonard is not very concerned about these two things.

This is a typical clergy perspective, thinking that it is all a matter for the secular government.

But just two days ago, Pales Zoroaster in Leonard's body reminded him that Backlund still had hidden dangers.

Leonard didn't know what the "hidden danger" was, so he planned to ask other members at the Tarot meeting.

Klein pondered for a few seconds before letting The World say: "The leader of the Secret Order, a Sequence 1 angel, and Emperor Russell's old friend Zaratul is currently hiding in Backlund."

Seeing that some members of the Tarot Society were still a little confused, "The World" added: "The law of conservation of extraordinary characteristics that we often refer to often refers to the conservation of extraordinary characteristics in adjacent pathways.

"That is to say, the law of aggregation of extraordinary properties also exists in adjacent pathways."

Leonard seemed to understand what the old man meant: "'Stealer' and 'Soothsayer' are adjacent paths?"

He thought to himself: The old man must have felt threatened by Zaratul, so he issued the warning.

When Hobert announced the relevant information about these two adjacent paths, Leonard had not yet joined the Tarot Society, so he did not know about it.

"The World" replied calmly: "Yes, there is another 'apprentice' path."

At this time, Hobert reminded: "This also means that Zaratul is likely to attract Amon's high-sequence clone to Backlund!"

The other members were stunned, especially Leonard: "I didn't expect this."

He sighed in his heart: How many clones does Amon have?
