Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 94 The Viscount's Entrustment

Regarding Viscount Greint's words, Hobert drank his wine and smiled, looking at the neat dining table, he suddenly thought of the meals in cheap cafes.

After eating dessert and fruit, and drinking a few more sips of tea, the whole dinner process finally came to an end.

Grelint got up and said, "I still have a lot of questions to ask about 'Pharmacist', please follow me to the study."

When the two arrived at the study, Greint took out his pocket watch and looked at it before whispering, "Mr. Hobert, I actually invited you here because I want to entrust you to investigate for me."

Hobert sat opposite the Viscount: "It stands to reason that we are both the initiators of the 'Justice League', and I should help. However, your commission is too dangerous. I'm sorry, but I refuse."

Grelint was taken aback: "I haven't said what the entrustment is yet!"

"I only know that someone has been staring at us when I was preparing the potion for you." Hobert leaned back in the chair: "I'm a Sequence 8, and my father doesn't seem to be highly valued, and I don't want to participate in the noble family. in the midst of the struggle."

Greint smiled and said, "You are more alert than I imagined."

He said: "Let me talk about my commission first, you can choose not to accept it."

Hobert smiled wryly and said, "Dear Viscount, there are some things that I may just know, and they will cause me some trouble."

Grelint said: "Don't worry, no one has eavesdropped on our conversation. The person who quietly monitored me left after confirming that I had taken the 'Pharmacist' potion in the afternoon."

He opened the pocket watch and showed it to Hobert. The pocket watch looked old, and it was not known if it was broken. The hands were still there.

Grelint said: "This is a magical item. As long as I am being monitored or monitored, the pointer of the pocket watch will move normally. If no one is monitoring, monitoring or watching us, the pointer will remain motionless."

Hobert thought about it, and he did remember that Grelint often looked at his pocket watch. He used to think that the viscount had a strong sense of time, but now he realized that it was him who was checking whether anyone was watching him.

"Okay." Hobert said, "I'll listen to your commission first, but you have to explain the danger of the commission."

"I have been observing you for a while. You have handled some extraordinary events very carefully and professionally. I think even if you fail to complete the commission, it will not bring us any danger." Greint took it out from the drawer A sketch:
"The entrustment is actually very simple. I would like to ask you to retrieve a ring from my father. This is the shape of the ring I drew in the afternoon."

The style of the ring looked very ordinary, and it read on the side: gold with a red gemstone.

Glaint looked at the ring and let out a long breath: "On my birthday, my father told me that the origin and family history of the Glaint family are all in that ring, as well as many precious treasures left by my ancestors. material.

"Father once said that when I got married he would let me inherit the ring and continue the success of the family.

"But……"

Grelint said coldly: "But, I didn't find this ring on my father's body."

His usual amiable temperament disappeared without a trace, and he seemed to be a different person coldly.

Hobert memorized the shape of the ring: "I remember your father died of illness, right?"

Grayling nodded: "That's what they said."

Hobert didn't ask who "they" were referring to: "The contents of the ring may have fallen into the hands of the enemy."

"No." Viscount Greint said, "It takes a spell to open the space of the ring, and only my father and I know that spell."

He continued: "In addition, they did not give me my father's Extraordinary characteristics.

"That's right, that's right. I'm not ignorant of the Extraordinary world. The Grelint family has always been a family of Extraordinary people.

"But in my generation, because I am the only child, taking the potion is in danger of getting out of control, so my father let me take the potion after I have a child just to be on the safe side.

"But I didn't expect that my father died of illness before I was married, and I was also under surveillance."

Glaint smiled indifferently: "Only if I take the potion that poses no threat to them, can they be completely relieved and give up monitoring me."

These plans, these thoughts should have been suppressed for a long time, and when Greint finished speaking, his expression was obviously relieved a lot.

He covered his face and said, "Although I have escaped their monitoring, I may never be able to avenge my father."

Hobert has been a good listener, as he said before, he does not want to get involved in the struggle between the nobles.

After a while, Viscount Greint came out of his emotions: "As for the risk of this entrustment, I don't know, because I don't know whether my father's ring was hidden before his death, or was taken away by the murderer. .

"All of these require you to investigate. Of course, safety is the priority. If you perceive danger, you can give up active investigation. In short, the choice is in your hands.

"Maintaining the inheritance of the Grelint family is the most important thing to me, so the family history and those precious materials must be retrieved.

"This will be a long-term entrustment. I am very clear that it may take several years or even ten years to get results. From today onwards, I will not talk to you about this matter until you have gained something.

"As for the reward, I can only say that you will be satisfied."

Hobert thought for a while before saying: "Mr. Viscount, I have to say that your prudence is the most correct choice."

He said: "Unless I encounter obvious clues, I will investigate after I am stronger and have more means of avoiding danger."

Glaint smiled and said, "It's enough to have your promise."

Although he has gotten rid of the monitors, Greint seems to have the habit of performing. When he sent Hobert out, he was still discussing some mystic issues with Hobert with great interest. After Te got into the carriage, he still had an unfinished look.

When the carriage entered, Hobert smiled: "Nobles also have their own difficulties."

Back home, Hobert heard from the housekeeper that Christine was still in the study, so he knocked on the door and told Christine about his plan to use Upton as a bait.

Christine nodded: "Sounds good."

Then he suddenly said another thing: "I made a very important choice earlier, and now it's time to pay for that choice, which may affect you.

"About half a year later, you have to pay attention to every question I have and make your choice after careful consideration."

Hobert was taken aback. It seemed that not only the nobles in Backlund couldn't help themselves, but Christine also seemed to have his own difficulties: "Okay, I will pay attention."

Back in his room, Hobert couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He always felt that the conversation with Grelint and Christine today was very informative, and he had a feeling that "the mountain is about to come and the wind is full".

At midnight, Hobert collected his mind and fell asleep quickly, and had to read the "Life Bible" again the next day.

On Wednesday morning, Hobert went out to "visit clients" early again, read classics at the Harvest Church all morning, and even had lunch.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Upton entered the church in a panic: "I just put on 'Astrologer's Hair', and immediately sensed the danger."
