Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Hobert hurried to the underground theater just in time for the extraordinary party to begin.

He had no purpose for coming here this time, he just wanted to kill some time in the afternoon.

The party still started with team formation. The mercenary team that was looking for the treasure of a certain Extraordinary family came to form a team again: "We learned the approximate location of an ancient tomb through the clues we found, but it took a long time to search. The ancient tomb was not found.

"We now need friends who are good at divination or finding ancient tombs to join our team."

The speaker was a fat man wearing casual clothes, and Hobert was worried that the buttons on his stomach would be stretched open by his belly.

Fatty continued: "As long as he finds the ancient tomb and completes the next exploration, he can get 10% of the loot."

When Jacob formed a team to explore the ruins before, Hobert was not strong enough and had no intention of getting involved.

Hobert, who is now at Sequence 6, is very interested in exploring this kind of ruins. He asked: "What type of ancient tomb is it? How dangerous is it?"

The last time Fatty came to form a team, he planned to ask about it, but the ruins that Jacob and the others excavated had just given Hobert a big shock, so he didn't ask.

Later, under the protection of Mr. Azik, Hobert gained a lot from Duke Trunsoest's ruins, and he became even more interested in the extraordinary ruins.

Fatty said: "If you are interested, we can go to the reception room to talk privately after the party. It is not convenient to disclose the specific information."

Hobert nodded: "I understand."

He planned to find out more about it later, and as long as it didn't conflict with Christine's plan, he would go to the scene to take a look.

After Fatty’s team invitation ended, at the previous party, the team exploring the newly discovered uninhabited island also happened to invite new teammates: “What we didn’t expect was that on that small island, we discovered some extraordinary creatures and some strange things. building.

“According to our preliminary judgment, those buildings have the style of the Fourth Age, but for some reason, those buildings were abandoned before they were completed.

"In addition, there seems to be a powerful, strange and extraordinary creature on the island. We have tried to round it up many times without success.

"Due to the appearance of a group of pirates, we had to temporarily retreat and come back to find more helpers, thoroughly investigate the island, and attack those pirates by the way.

"Friends on the 'Hunter' path can consider joining us. The specific harvest will be distributed according to work. With the guarantee of the mercenary club, there is no need to worry about our credibility."

Perhaps because they were going to the Wild Sea, no one responded to this invitation to form a team.

Several subsequent team invitations failed to interest Hobert, and during the transaction, there was nothing that caught Hobert's attention.

After the party, Hobert came to the living room that Fatty said. Including Hobert, there were a total of five people who wanted to accept Fatty's invitation to form a team.

The fat man only needs two people now, so he in turn has to interview five people.

The fat man glanced at everyone, and then said to Hobert: "Young man, let's talk first."

Apparently he didn't attend the Extraordinary gatherings of the Mercenary Club and didn't know Hobert.

After arriving and taking a seat in the living room, the fat man said: "I must remind you that we may lose our lives at any time during our expedition. You'd better think again. Do you want to continue our conversation?"

Only then did Hobert realize that the fat man saw that he was too young and might not have much experience, so the first person to call him in was to persuade him to leave.

Hobert smiled and said, "I have experience in exploring extraordinary ruins."

"If the sequence is too low, it is also very dangerous."

"Sequence 6."

The fat man looked Hobert up and down: "Okay, we can have the rest of the conversation. Are you good at divination?"

"I have a sealed artifact that makes it easy to encounter ancient tombs." Hobert said: "I also know a friend who is good at divination. What method of cooperation do you choose?"

The fat man was stunned for a second or two, obviously re-evaluating Hobert's strength: "Congratulations, you will be a member of our team for a while."

"Wait a minute." Hobert smiled slightly: "I have to evaluate the risks of this exploration operation before deciding whether to join you.

"Please answer the question I asked during the party. What type of ancient tomb is it? Or, are the Extraordinaries of that path buried in it?"

The fat man no longer concealed anything: "It is said that the owner of the ancient tomb is a descendant of Antigonus. According to the clues we found, his tomb may contain some accumulations of the Antigonus family."

Hobert immediately had the idea of ​​rejecting it. Although there was no evidence, he always felt that this ancient tomb of an extraordinary person was most likely a trap.

The reason is also very simple. Extraordinaries in this path and adjacent paths are generally comparable to Lao Yin.

The fat man may have seen Hobert's concerns: "The danger level of the ancient tomb should not be high. After all, according to reliable records, the owner of the tomb was Sequence 5 when he died."

"Is the news reliable?"

"We can't play with our lives!"

Hobert nodded. Then you can consider it. If it is Sequence 3 or higher, the ancient tomb may be part of the promotion ceremony of the tomb owner.

He said: "If I find danger, I will warn you. But if you don't listen, I have the right to leave directly, and you can't stop it."

The fat man said: "Of course it should be."

Hobert added: "As for dividing the spoils, I have the first choice."

The fat man thought for a while and then said: "You can only choose once."

Hobert nodded: "Deal."

At this time, the fat man introduced himself: "You can call me Auston. Our new round of exploration will set off next Thursday morning and gather at Order Square."

Hobert nodded: "No problem."

When leaving the living room, Hobert realized that this would be the first time he actively participated in a mercenary club mission.

…

At the beginning of a new week, Hobert took a cab from his home on Queen's Road to work at his law firm.

As soon as he arrived at the office, Viscount Graylingt's personal servant came to see Hobert. In his suitcase were several potions that Hobert had ordered from Viscount Graylingt.

Viscount Graylint made a bill. The "decomposition water" and poison that Hobert needed were naturally free. Jessica's pre-ordered potion required a total of 26 pounds.

Jessica came over to pay, and after the valet left, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect it was really the cost price."

This is much cheaper than the potions at other parties, but I don’t know how effective it will be?

After the afternoon, Hobert made excuses to return to Calle Blanca as usual.

At three o'clock sharp, Hobert's vision was covered by gray fog.

When he came to the Giant Hall, he immediately found that there was a new member opposite him: Miss Magician was online!
