Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

The notebook in Hobert's hand bears the signature of its former owner: Valentin Victor.

More like an anthology of lame ghost stories than notes.

The content of the story is very interesting to Hobert. For example, there is something that happened in the mountains of West Veras County in the Kingdom of Loen.

There was a hunter in the mountains who was good at setting traps. Suddenly, from one day onwards, the prey he caught in his traps were always bitten by some wild beast.

But strangely, this experienced hunter couldn't tell from the bite marks what kind of beast had bitten his prey.

A few days later, when the hunter went to check the trap again, he found that his prey had just been bitten. He followed the blood trail and quickly located the traces of the murderer.

After chasing for about an hour or two, the hunter reached the edge of a forest, and it was getting dark.

The sun sets very quickly in the deep mountains. As soon as the sun sets on the top of the mountain, the surroundings seem to be covered with a layer of black veil.

The hunter had no intention of just letting the murderer go and chased him all the way in.

The moment he stepped into the woods, the hunter felt that the mountain style inside was extremely cold, as if there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him.

Just when the hunter was about to turn back, he discovered a towering tree with long branches and leaves, and its crown covered a large area.

The trees were hung with corpses, all of which were hanged. When the mountain wind blew, the corpses rippled in the wind.

The hunter was so frightened that he sat there. At this moment, the corpses on the tree began to move. They raised their hands in unison, took off the rope buckles that hung themselves, quickly got down from the tree, and rushed towards the hunter.

One skeleton in particular moved very quickly and was chasing at the front.

The hunter's desire to survive was aroused, and he threw his legs and ran into the night before he could escape.

When Hobert read the contents of the notes, he thought: If Fors could read this story, process it and exaggerate the atmosphere, it would be a very good ghost story.

However, Valentine's words and descriptions were very bland, as casually as if he was talking about having barbecue tonight, so the content was interesting, but it was described very lamely by the owner of the note.

The key is that there is still Valentine's exploration later. During the exploration, he did not say a word, leaving only one sentence: It is suspected to be a sacrifice to the devil. Many corpses underwent corpse transformation, and no skeleton lord was found.

This made Hobert immediately think of Dophis. Maybe the "gatekeeper" was the one who didn't have the slightest emotion about everything around him when he was preparing for promotion.

There are seven or eight ghost stories similar to the above, and Valentine's footprints are almost all over the northern continent.

Finally, in Colson County, southeast of the Kingdom of Feneport, Fan Lundin discovered the real Skeleton Lord. He tried twice, but failed to kill the Skeleton Lord. The second time, he almost got ambushed by the Skeleton Lord. .

So Fan Lunding returned to the Loen Kingdom and wanted to ask his teacher for help.

The note ends here. Hobert can imagine that on his way back to Backlund, Valentin was attracted to the corpse of the ancient god of death and eventually died in the stone chamber.

Hobert opened the map again. The location of the Skeleton Lord was marked on the map, but it was not like a map of Loen. He put on his windbreaker and went to the bookstore on the street to buy a map of the Kingdom of Feneport. Come back and compare.

Sure enough, the map left by Van Lundin was a map of Colson County in the Kingdom of Feneport.

Colson County is located between the capital city of Feneport and the port city of Sevia, bordering the small country of Masi. The entire county is basically a continuous mountainous area.

Hobert nodded. In such deep mountains and old forests, it is indeed easy for extraordinary creatures with territorial awareness, or undead creatures, such as Skeleton Lords to appear.

After confirming the location of the Skeleton Lord, Hobert folded up the map, tucked it into his notes, picked up his cane, and left a note for Forsi and Xio, telling them that they didn't need to leave dinner for him.

Then he jumped into a cab and headed home to Queens.

In the carriage, Hobert sighed that today's experience was really wonderful.

Just as he was thinking of this, his stomach growled twice, and then he remembered that he had been looking at the trophies at noon, and then he was attracted by Rex's notes, and he actually forgot to eat lunch.

When he got home, he caught up with Christine and his family to have dinner. After Hobert sat down, he ate hungrily.

Donna wondered: "Hobert, are you so poor that you can't even afford food now?"

Hobert took a sip of wine, inserted a chicken wing for himself with his fork and asked, "Why do you think so?"

"I heard that you offended all the gentlemen in Backlund in the last case, so..."

"So you think no one will sue me anymore?"

Donna nodded, Tyron also stared at Hobert nervously, but Kristen and Monlisa smiled and shook their heads.

"No problem, all the people who come to me to file lawsuits are scheduled to next month." Hobert smiled and said: "I am now a 'well-known lawyer'! My savings are so large that you will be scared to death if I tell you! "

"Oh, you're lying, your deposit can't reach 1,000 pounds."

Hobert was almost pierced by the bone of the chicken wing: "Donna, can you be a little promising? Can 1,000 pounds scare you?"

Donna said seriously: "Of course, you must have gone to rob a bank, otherwise how could you have so much money?"

Hobert suddenly realized that being in the extraordinary circle would be more profitable than robbing a bank! No wonder the official Extraordinaries must arrest wild Extraordinaries when they see them.

Of course, the premise is that there must be a "helper" like the "State of Disorder", otherwise it will easily become someone else's wealth.

While arguing with his sister, Hobert finished his dinner and then followed Christine into the study.

Hobert invited Dophis to come in with him. After closing the door of the study, he began to describe the process of exploring the ruins today.

Of course, Hobert did not explain some of Mr. Azik’s words and deeds.

After hearing that there was the corpse of the ancient god of death, Dophis's eyes lit up, and it was difficult to maintain the "dead" state.

Christine said: "So, the person exploring the ruins with you should be at least a Sequence 3 person!"

If he could suppress the black dog spirit beast so easily, he must be at least a Sequence 3 person.

In fact, this was some "processing" done by Hobert. If Kristen knew that Azik treated the black dog spirit beast like a servant, Kristen would definitely think that the angel had an agenda. Otherwise, if the other person was an angel, Otherwise, he might not even look at a Sequence 7, so how could he get acquainted with Hobert?

Hobert pretended to be confused: "He told me that he was just a Sequence 4."

Christine shook his head. Meeting such a "saint" was an opportunity for Hobert, and he did not intend to interfere too much.

Finally, Hobert revealed the clue about the Skeleton Lord, but he found that when he mentioned that the Skeleton Lord was in the Kingdom of Feneport, Christine and Dophis' expressions changed.
