Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

For a while, Hobert figured out many problems, but he had no intention of telling Byron this information.

It is not a good thing for a wild Extraordinary with an official background to know too much information about countries sabotaging each other.

"Fortunately, I brought more money." Byron counted out another 600 pounds and handed it to Hobert.

After the intelligence transaction ended, the two of them drank the tea in front of them, shook hands, and left.

The gold pounds Hobert was carrying now made his briefcase bulge.

The intelligence transaction just now, plus the transaction of the extraordinary characteristics of "Madman" and "Werewolf", gave Hobert a total of 2,400 pounds.

There are also the bounties received from Thomas and the proceeds from selling the sealed artifacts, a total of 3,500 pounds.

Adding the two together, this is already a huge sum of money.

Hobert went to the bank again and took out about 7,000 in cash, as well as the 510 pounds that he had previously used to resell the "Hurricane Ax", and the nearly 100 pounds of pocket money that Hobert carried with him.

When he placed all the gold pounds on the desk in his bedroom, Hobert couldn't help but swallowed. The huge sum of more than 13,000 pounds in front of him was equivalent to about 40 million in the AD era. .

This was indeed a huge sum of money that Hobert had never seen before. He admired it for a few minutes before finally looking away and sacrificing himself, giving away the 11,000 pounds of cash and the "judge's" extraordinary Characteristics, placed in the "State of Disorder".

Of the more than 2,500 pounds left, Hobert took out 300 pounds and put them in his wallet. He packed the remaining 2,200 pounds in paper bags and put them in his briefcase.

Arriving on the first floor, Hobert first wrote a letter, informing Klein to come to him to collect the bounty before five o'clock this afternoon or after eight o'clock tomorrow.

Then he simply found a cab and took the letter to the Cragg Club, so that it could be delivered in an hour or so.

Hobert treated him to a treat at noon, and went out to have a delicious barbecue with Forsi. He went to work in the office in the afternoon, while Forsi continued to go back to "conceive a new book."

As soon as she arrived at the office, Jessica sent a letter from Mr. Dix. The two water pumps had been completed and could be sent to trade at any time.

Hobert sighed, today is really a trading day, the amount of transactions he completed in one day has reached thousands of pounds!

Then he locked the door of the office and prayed to himself: "... Great 'creator', please notify Upton and ask him to pick up the goods from Ruiyi Machinery Store and store them in a warehouse for sacrifice tomorrow morning."

Hobert has already said hello to Dicos before. Ruiyi Machinery Trading Company will not disclose any information about Hobert, so there is no need to worry about Upton learning Hobert's specific information during the transaction.

Entering the "Land of Disorder", Hobert couldn't help but admire the gold pounds on the stone platform for a few seconds, and then he put his mosaic prayer scene into Upton's stars.

Then Hobert informed Elliot to prepare for the sacrifice tomorrow morning.

When preparing to leave the "Land of Disorder", Hobert saw the star representing Rafter lighting up again. The baron was really persevering and actually prayed to the "creator" again.

Hobert ignored the prayers and left the "Land of Disorder."

Hobert, who returned to the real world, had just taken his mind off the pile of gold pounds and focused on work, when Klein arrived.

Hobert estimated that Mr. Ke must have been waiting at the Cragg Club and rushed over immediately after hearing the news.

Jessica poured a cup of black tea for the guest, and then closed the office door under the signal from Hobert's eyes.

Hobert took out the paper bag of his briefcase and said, "You can share the bounty of this mission with 700 pounds.

"The sealed item was sold for 2,500 pounds, but because I used my channel, I charged an agency fee of 100 pounds, and you can get 1,200 pounds.

"In addition to the 300 pounds of extraordinary characteristics of 'Bishop Rose' that we discussed before, you can get a total of 2,200 pounds."

After speaking, Hobert pushed the paper bag to Klein.

After hearing this number, Klein, who had already made a rough guess, was still a little surprised.

He said to himself: No wonder in my divination, my hope is in Backlund. Now it seems that the "City of Hope" really has many ways to make money quickly.

After counting the money, Klein took out 200 pounds and pushed it in Hobert's direction: "I failed to play any role in last night's battle. Even if I only take 300 pounds, it would be very unfair."

Hobert smiled and pushed the money back: "If it weren't for your divination, I wouldn't be able to make this money at all. These 300 pounds will be regarded as the divination fee paid to you."

Unlike the conflict with the members of the "Judgment Team" the night before yesterday, in Kelly's commission, she and Jessica did not play much role in the battle.

But in yesterday's commission, Klein found the target position. This is a very important role. His contribution is worth 300 pounds.

Of course, Hobert, who has become Sequence 6, can monopolize the extraordinary characteristics of "Bishop Rose", and Klein doesn't dare to have any objections, but that would be boring, and it will be difficult to cooperate in the future.

It's better to be more generous and give him a divination fee that would make even Klein weak. When Klein becomes a "high-sequence" person, today's generosity will turn into a favor.

After dividing the bounty, Hobert added: "Your sister and brother will come to Backlund to relax this week. I plan to take them to see the Russell Memorial Exhibition on Sunday."

Klein's eyes narrowed.

"It's not what you think." Hobert smiled and said: "You are just a Sequence 8, and you don't want me to use your family to blackmail you."

He said: "I went to Tingen City before to help Elizabeth's father, your sister's good friend Elizabeth, in a lawsuit.

"We have been exchanging letters since then, and I learned about your family's current situation, so I asked them to come to Backlund with Elizabeth.

“If you want to see them, go to the showroom on Sunday morning.”

"Forget it." Klein took a deep breath: "Forget it."

Hobert spread his hands: "The choice is yours."

After seeing Klein off, Hobert took care of a few more urgent tasks before he had time to review last night's battle.

Generally speaking, Hobert was quite satisfied with his performance last night, and he also had his own ideas and tactics for the battle between Sequence 6.

Then he started thinking about how to play the "Corrupted Baron". As of today, he doesn't have a good idea.

The description of the "Corrupted Baron" on the "Black Emperor" card is: People around the "Corrupted Baron" will always become greedy and dark, and the "Baron" will use their greed and darkness to firmly control them. inside. At the same time, the "barons" will manage their own territories or industries carefully.

Through this description, the focus of Hobert's performance is: constantly corroding the hearts of the people around him; managing the territory or industry carefully.

Hobert believes that the title "Baron" in "Corrupted Baron" should have only appeared in the Fourth Age. This is a reminder to the Beyonders that they must have their own territory when they reach Sequence 6 of the "Black Emperor".

This plays a key role in the digestion of potions and future promotions.

Of course, according to the description, it doesn't have to be a territory, it can also be a property of your own, but there must be a place that you can talk about.

Hobert sighed. Whether it was corrupting the hearts of the people around him or owning territory or industry, it was difficult to do it in Backlund.

It's not that he is unwilling to do this, but the practice of "corroding the soul" is too conspicuous in this metropolis and can easily cause him a lot of trouble.

It seems that it is time to leave Backlund and go to the Southern Continent where there are followers of the "Creator" to develop, Hobert sighed in his heart.
