Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Dusk fell, casting a layer of twilight over the cemetery.

Hobert placed two bouquets of flowers in front of Dunn's and Klein's tombstones respectively. The two bouquets of flowers were a complete cover-up.

If he didn't bring flowers, some people would definitely wonder why this young man came to the cemetery?

Hobert couldn't say: "I'm waiting for a friend who will come out after dark."

What friends are you waiting for?

It's a shame to say this in a cemetery.

Hobert looked at Klein's tombstone, but he was thinking about other things.

After tonight, he and Klein were friends who knew "all" each other's secrets.

Klein "knows" that Hobert is a believer in the "Creator", and Hobert "knows" the secret of Klein's resurrection.

Hobert is working hard for some future plans. When the "Fool" becomes prosperous in the future, Hobert still needs him to recognize and support the new "Black Emperor" first.

Although we are still far away from that step, there are some things we need to prepare for in advance.

Just as he was thinking of this, Hobert suddenly felt something unknown happening around him. When he looked back, a middle-aged man appeared on the road not far behind him.

The middle-aged man wears a silk hat and a black dress. He has a medium build, a bronze complexion and soft facial features.

Hobert's first reaction was, when did he show up? Why am I not aware of my spirituality at all?

Hobert's second reaction was, couldn't this be Mr. Azik?

If you look carefully, you will see that the skin is bronze, the eyes are weathered, and there is indeed a black mole under the right ear. That's right.

Hobert nodded slightly towards Mr. Azik. At this time, he rushed up and called "Mr. Azik", which would probably make the situation very troublesome.

Azik gently took off his hat in return, placed the flowers in his hand in front of Klein's grave, and then asked Hobert: "Are you also a friend of Klein?"

Hobert replied: "Colleagues."

Azik seemed to understand something: "He is a very good young man."

"He is also a very good colleague." Hobert sighed: "He is not married yet and has not enjoyed a good life yet."

After Klein climbed out of the grave, he completely bid farewell to ordinary life.

What is buried here is Klein’s life as an ordinary person.

Azik also sighed: "Death is the most helpless magic. It is in front of people from the moment they are born, but we have no choice but to approach it step by step and touch it."

He glanced at Klein's tombstone: "If only I had been in Tingen City at that time, it would have been a few minutes too late, and a living life turned into a cold stone monument."

There was silence in front of the stone monument for a while, and Azik said to the tombstone again: "I am leaving Tingen City. I will come back to see you when I have time."

He reminded Hobert: "Young man, it's getting late."

Hobert nodded: "I know, I will stay for a while and then leave."

Azik said "hmm" and left quickly, quickly disappearing into the dusk.

Hobert was not in a hurry to establish contact with Azik. He only had Sequence 7 now, so knowing too much would be a problem.

Let’s get to know each other first, and it’s not too late to build a stronger connection when we have the opportunity to meet in person later.

The waiting time is always long, the twilight gradually disappears and the stars appear in the sky.

There were no more people paying their respects in the cemetery, and there were only the sounds of a few night insects.

Hobert is not worried about encountering zombies or ghosts here, because all the people buried here have been requiemed by the priest.

It's just a bit cold. It's already autumn at this time. Tingen City is in the north of Backlund. When night falls, the temperature is a little colder than Backlund.

Hobert looked at his pocket watch again and again. The time finally came to around ten o'clock in the evening.

Dong Dong~

There is movement behind the tombstone.

Phew~

Hands with pale skin stretched out from the soil.

Hobert didn't care about the dirt on Klein's hand. He took the hand and pulled Klein out of the coffin.

Fortunately, the customs of the Kingdom of Loen do not include the procedure for setting up a grave. Otherwise, Klein would have had to work hard to climb out of the coffin.

Klein was sitting in the coffin in a daze. He first saw Hobert under the starlight: "The descendant of the evil god..."

His memory was still in the moment when he just killed the evil god's heir.

"Already dead," Hobert said.

"Me," Klein suddenly thought: "I am also dead..."

"It's so late at night, and you're in the cemetery again, don't say such things!"

Klein quickly opened his clothes and saw that the wound on his chest had healed. Only then did he realize that he was resurrected again, but this time his resurrection took longer than the last time.

Suddenly, Klein looked at Hobert in shock.

"You don't have to look at me like that, I thought you were dead at that time." Hobert said.

"Then why are you here?"

"you guess."

Klein immediately understood that it was the "creator" and it must be the "creator" who told Hobert that he could be resurrected.

Seeing that Klein had "guessed correctly," Hobert said again: "Get up and say goodbye to Dunn. It's time for us to embark on a new journey."

"Captain..." Klein looked at the tombstone not far away, intense grief filling his heart.

He came out of the coffin and stood in front of Dunn's tombstone as if talking to himself or to Dunn's tombstone: "Captain, that day you said you 'brought' Cornley into a dream, and you also You say you can’t bear to sacrifice your teammates, so you hope to see them often in your dreams..."

Klein paused, shook his head and sighed: "I don't know who I am now. Maybe I'm just an evil spirit crawling out of hell and wanting revenge."

As he spoke, he suddenly couldn't speak any more, and tears streaked down his face. Finally, he choked and shouted: "Captain, we can't bear to leave you too."

Hobert patted Klein on the shoulder and said pointedly: "This is a world full of mysteries, and everything is possible."

Klein didn't quite hear what Hobert said, but he knew that now was not the time to stand here and cry.

"Let's go." Hobert said: "We'd better leave a few streets away from here before taking a taxi, otherwise we might scare the driver."

The two people left the cemetery in silence, one after the other.

After walking two streets, they found a taxi.

Arriving at a nearby hotel, Hobert asked for two rooms. After going upstairs, Hobert first went to Klein's room. After locking the door, the two sat down facing each other.

Hobert took out two 5-pound notes from his wallet and said, "I'm going back to Backlund early tomorrow morning. I think you need some cash now?"

"No need." Klein immediately declined. There was still 300 pounds of bearer deposit lying in the bank, which could be withdrawn tomorrow morning, and he felt that he owed Hobert enough and didn't want to owe him any more favors.

Hobert did not insist, took back the note, and then wrote the address of the law firm: "If you need help, write to this address."

Klein put away the address: "Thank you, thank you for your help tonight."

Otherwise he might have to sleep on the street.
