Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

The morning fog in Backlund is the thickest time of the day, making Backlund's entire winter cold and humid.

On Thursday morning, Hobert rode a taxi to the Order Square. He looked at the people in the fog who were already running for a living, or the homeless people who looked like living corpses. His mood was not very beautiful.

After he got on the rental carriage this morning, he remembered that he already had the ability to "travel", so what kind of carriage should he use?

But I had already gotten on the bus, and I thought that there were many people in Order Square. It seemed too eye-catching to use the ability to travel, so I had to take a carriage.

Recalling his shocking thoughts last night, Hobert was still a little scared. What if the power of the "State of Order" was injected into the corpse of the ancient Death, and the Ancient Death came back to life?

Maybe this is the resurrection opportunity that "Phoenix" Gray Carrie has been waiting for?

Today, Hobert reconsidered this issue and felt that yesterday's idea was completely over-the-top. First of all, what he injected was the power of "order", not the power of "undead", which was "incompatible" with Gray Carrie's path.

Secondly, the power of order does not have the ability to bring the dead back to life as set out in an online article that Hobert had read.

At best, these powers can charge a lifeless object, allowing them to regain short-term spirituality and vitality, but this is not life, it is just a loophole of death, and it will not produce wisdom.

It will not resurrect a certain ancient god. On the contrary, the power of order will also block some channels for that ancient god to be resurrected.

After all, the death loophole found by the Shadow of Order allows the "Black Emperor" to be resurrected. This is a normal phenomenon, but resurrection in other meanings does not comply with the relevant order.

Hobert lamented: Order has always had such double standards.

In the midst of my thoughts, I arrived at the Order Square. Fatty Auston and his six team members had already arrived in advance.

In addition to the new team member Hobert, there is also a woman in her thirties named Lina who has joined the team. It is said that this lady, who looks as pale as a dead person, has rich experience in exploring ancient tombs, or in other words, tomb robbing experience.

Hobert guessed that she should be an Extraordinary of the "God of Death" path, but the specific sequence cannot be seen yet.

After everyone was gathered, under the command of Auston, they boarded two different carriages, and a group of nine people officially set off.

There are many small extraordinary teams like this in Backlund. They are mainly divided into two categories. One is the form of the mercenary team, which lives a life of fighting and killing, or the team like Auston's team, who are looking for Treasures of an extraordinary world.

One type is an organization of teachers and students. The organizational structure is relatively loose and more like a mutual aid club.

Hobert rode in the same carriage as Auston and Lina. Auston said: "You two, although you joined our team on the first day, you are either retired officers or you have thousands of connections with the military. I believe you know the importance of discipline in a team."

Hobert thought to himself: Sure enough, we need to confirm the captain’s authority first.

Lina on the side nodded slowly.

Auston added: "I hope that in this operation, you can carry out my orders without compromise. In many cases, this may save our lives."

Hobert smiled and said: "That's no problem, but I also hope you can understand that respect is mutual."

The implication is: Don't plan to use me as cannon fodder.

Auston frowned, but thinking of Hobert's strength, he said, "It's no problem." He didn't seem to hear what Hobert said next.

Auston then began to describe some of the details of the operation.

Following the clues, they found the ancient tomb in the mountains northwest of Backlund. The specific location was almost in East Chester County.

Because there is no steam train going directly there, it only takes about 6 hours to get there by horse-drawn carriage.

Hobert looked at his pocket watch. They set off around eight in the morning and would not reach their destination until two in the afternoon.

Then he sighed in his heart that in order not to reveal his specific strength, he had no choice but to ride in the carriage with them.

Before, it was okay when he didn't have the "travel" ability. Now he has the "travel" ability but can't use it, which makes Hobert a little speechless.

After riding the carriage for more than three hours, they began to enter the mountainous area, and the number of people around them gradually became sparse.

At around twelve o'clock, they stopped on the roadside for more than ten minutes and ate some dry food or simple meals.

The road gradually became desolate. At first, both sides of the road were covered with withered grass. Later, there began to be grass on the road. Because it was winter, most of the grass had dried up, but a small part still stubbornly retained a touch of green.

According to Auston, this is the road of the forest farm. After winter, it is the time for workers to cut trees, and the cut wood will begin to be transported outside the mountains next spring.

So at this time, the mountain was busy, but there were no pedestrians or vehicles on the road.

When no one is in sight, you need to walk the rest of the way. Two coachmen will camp here to guard the carriage.

Everyone carried some necessary equipment and food on their backs and continued on the road with almost no pauses. We are all extraordinary people, and each person did not find it difficult to carry a large bag of equipment.

Soon everyone came to a hill. The view here was good and they could clearly see a small basin in front of the hill.

This kind of terrain is very common in this kind of hilly area. The surrounding peaks surround a basin that can be reached at a glance. There is a small river flowing through the basin. It is just a seasonal river. Now the river is very small and you can see the river water. Several small lakes, or large puddles, were left on the riverbed.

Auston, who was walking at the front, said: "We can confirm that the ancient tomb is in this basin, but we have been searching here carefully for more than a week, and we have not found any trace of the ancient tomb."

Hobert asked Lina: "If I communicate with the surrounding spirits, can I find clues to the ancient tomb?"

"The probability of getting clues is very low." Lina replied in a cold tone: "Most spirits don't care about these things. If it is a resentful spirit in the ancient tomb, he will probably come to us without us looking for him. .”

Hobert nodded and said to Auston: "I will lead the way."

As he spoke, he opened a black box and took out a bracelet with the characteristics of the Southern Continent.

This is the sealed object that makes it easy for the holder to encounter ancient tombs. If you don't actively use it, it has two negative effects: it is easy to be hated by undead creatures; the wearer will become more and more fond of telling ghost stories, and ghosts The plot in the story can easily be encountered by the holder.

Hobert doesn't mind being hated by undead creatures, but the plot of ghost stories is easy for the holder to encounter, so he should try to avoid it, so he will only wear it when he needs it most.

So Hobert led the team from the front, and a team member reminded him: "The road you chose is difficult to walk."

"That means we're on the right path!" Hobert walked forward, whipping the dead grass in the way with his cane.
