Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

After hearing Hobert's description, Alger guessed: "Could it be that the favored ones of Poseidon 'borrowed' the elves' symbols? Or, it's..."

Alger suddenly made a bold guess, but because it was somewhat blasphemous, and because he was in front of a fool, he didn't know how to say it out loud.

Hobert already roughly understood what was going on, and he said: "You continue, we will discuss this issue later."

Alger nodded and continued: "At that time, I was going to collect some information before further exploration, but when I left the sea area, I found that I seemed to be being targeted by the followers of the 'Poseidon'.

“I have come into contact with some followers of ‘Poseidon’ before. Although what they do is a bit crazy, as long as I don’t offend them, they are willing to do some exchanges and transactions with me.

“I didn’t do anything to offend them, but the Poseidon believers on Mbet Island all gave me hostile looks.

"I realized something was wrong and left immediately. Soon the followers of Poseidon caught up with me. No matter what methods I used to avoid them, they could always find me. I fought with them for two days and two nights before I found a chance to solve the problem. them.

"But I'm sure that there will be new ones catching up soon. So I'm asking everyone for help at the Tarot Club. How should I solve the problem at hand?"

Audrey raised her hand: "Mr. Hanged Man, I want to ask a question first. What kind of god is Poseidon? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Poseidon is a god believed in on some colonial islands." Alger explained: "It is said that he is moody and likes blood sacrifices.

“Some believers pray to the Poseidon to calm the wind and waves, and the Poseidon will respond accurately; some believers pray to the Poseidon to calm the wind and waves, but the Poseidon makes the wind and waves become bigger.

"I have heard more than once that believers of Poseidon used blood sacrifices to please their gods, allowing them to obtain many spells from the Storm Realm. Of course, sometimes all the believers who participated in the sacrifices would turn into monsters."

Audrey was a little surprised: "There is such a god? This should be..."

She was about to say that this should be an evil god, but she thought that Mr. Fool was not an orthodox god. Such an existence was also called an evil god in the orthodox church.

So in the middle of her sentence, she couldn't continue.

Just when Audrey was hesitant to apologize to Mr. Fool, Hobert suddenly spoke to resolve the embarrassment: "It is disrespectful to Mr. Fool to compare Mr. Fool with such a wild god!"

Audrey then apologized to Mr. Fool logically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Fool, I shouldn't have said that."

At the same time, she was grateful to Mr. "Emperor" for helping her out.

Klein smiled slightly and did not respond, as if this was something not worthy of his attention.

He looked calm on the surface, but he felt a little guilty in his heart because he didn't even know what kind of god Poseidon was.

He was really a little afraid of "The Hanged Man" or "Justice" asking him for information about Poseidon. With the words "Emperor", Klein felt a little relieved. It didn't matter if he couldn't answer. After all, Poseidon's level was too low. .

Thinking of this, Klein felt even more guilty.

Hobert smiled and said: "Let's first solve the problem faced by Mr. Hanged Man."

Alger asked: "What do you want to be paid?"

"I think that as a member of the Tarot Club, you don't need any reward for helping other members solve their problems." Hobert followed: "I already roughly understand what your situation is, but I try to help you solve it. Difficult, but if you need me to explain, you need to pay me some compensation, because it involves some advanced knowledge."

Alger nodded: "Thank you for your generosity."

Hobert asked: "Did you bring anything out of the ruins?"

"Bring out a small section of glowing coral and a piece of jade from the ruins engraved with elven patterns." Alger said, "But when I discovered that the beloved of the sea god seemed to know my whereabouts, I threw away all these things. Into the sea.”

Hobert asked again: "Is there anything on your ship that suddenly appeared? Or a crew that suddenly became abnormal?"

"I checked carefully and found no such situation."

As a veteran at sea, Alger was still wary of this.

After eliminating these possibilities, there was only one place left. Hobert asked again: "Have you checked the bottom of the boat?"

"I, I didn't check." Alger said: "After the party, I immediately went to check the bottom of the boat."

This wasn't because Alger wasn't careful enough, but it was a blind spot or a loophole that the more people spent time at sea, the easier it was to ignore it.

Hobert is now very good at finding such loopholes. He said: "Driving the creatures on the seabed to serve himself is one of Poseidon's abilities. If the problem really occurs at the bottom of the ship, it shouldn't be difficult to find.

"If the problem is not at the bottom of the boat, you can pray to the Fool, and I will help you think of other possibilities."

The more Alger thought about it, the more he felt that the problem should be at the bottom of the boat: "Thank you for your help."

Hobert smiled and said: "As for why you are experiencing this, let me ask you a few questions.

“Are the followers of ‘Poseidon’ Kavitua only in some parts of the sea?”

Alger was stunned and nodded: "Yes."

"Are there some elven patterns or cultural elements circulating among the followers of Poseidon?"

Alger recalled: "Yes!"

"Are you guessing that Poseidon is actually the surviving strong man of the elves? But you don't understand how he has some abilities that only gods have?"

Alger trembled: "Yes!"

"Wait a minute." Audrey suddenly said: "Mr. Emperor, you mean that Poseidon is an ordinary person, no, I mean that he is being played by an extraordinary person? Or is he being played by an Elf clan member?"

This, such an idea is so blasphemous.

After the gray mist, Klein finally understood that it was no wonder that the "Emperor" called Poseidon a "Wild God". It turned out that he was just a "high-sequence" Extraordinary.

"This is what you will pay for next." Hobert said: "Everyone, do you want to know the principle behind this?"

Too much! Audrey clenched her fists, but she would be in a financial embarrassment next and wondered if she could afford the information fee.

Derrick, who had been silent all this time, also showed enough interest.

Alger simply asked: "What reward do you want?"

The three questions asked by the "Emperor" just now have aroused all his curiosity. If the reward is not too high, he will be happy to get the answers.

"800 pounds!" Hobert said: "When the transaction is completed, you will find that it is absolutely worth it."

Alger nodded, still within the acceptable range.

He was about to initiate a transaction when he heard Hobert say again: "You all seem to want to know, so, as a member of the Tarot Society, I will give you a discount.

"If just one person wants to know the answer, he or she needs to pay me 800 pounds. If two people want to know the answer, they only need to pay me 500 pounds each. If three people want to trade with me, each person only needs to pay me 500 pounds. Pay me 400 pounds."

Klein, who was behind the gray mist, suppressed the urge to cover his face: Do you think I am Pin Xixi here? Why are you still doing group buying?
