Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

The price quoted by Thomas was very generous, 1,400 pounds!

He said to Hobert: "If you obtain any extraordinary characteristics or sealed objects in subsequent adventures, you can come to me to cash them in. Generally, I will give them to you at the base price.

“The money is legal, you don’t have to pay taxes, and you don’t have to worry about being cheated.

"Especially the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Corpse Collector' path and the 'Warrior' path, I will also help you get some premiums."

Hobert asked: "Do you also accept the extraordinary characteristics of the 'arbitrator' path?"

"Take it." Thomas smiled and said, "But according to some treaties, we will sell it to the royal family. Don't worry, we will definitely hide your information."

This is another good way to "sell stolen goods".

After sending Thomas and others away, Hobert returned to the office and felt that the preparations for leaving Backlund were almost done.

Now all that's left is to find time to put on a mask, visit the "Giant Bishop", and then cause a scene in Backlund.

However, after having the ability to "travel", it would be more exciting to leave Backlund and then come back to make a fuss.

After work, Hobert deliberately took a cab back to his home in Queens.

In the first two days, he returned to 192 Blanca Street after work, and then used "travel" to return to Queens. The next morning, he used "travel" to return to Blanca Street and went to work from there.

Without the one-hour drive back and forth, Hobert felt like he had a lot more time.

However, this method cannot be used all the time, otherwise the servants in Queens will find that Master Hobert seems to have lost his job. He returns to his room after eating in the morning and only comes out for dinner in the afternoon.

And after a long time, the neighbors on Blanca Street will also wonder, why did Lawyer Hobert not buy groceries during this time? No dining out either?

Originally, Hobert was going to sleep in on Sunday, but unexpectedly he was woken up by Dophis early in the morning. After having breakfast with Christine, he took the family carriage out.

As for where to go, Christine said it was to a manor in the suburbs.

After the carriage arrived at the suburbs, the air gradually became fresher, and Hobert began to appreciate the scenery in the suburbs.

Christine, who was sitting opposite Hobert, suddenly said: "Did you see that mountain with a big pine tree? Be natural and don't stare."

Hobert saw a large pine tree on a hill not far away. Its hugeness could be felt on the road at the foot of the mountain.

After confirming the target, Hobert nodded invisibly.

Christine added: "If we get separated, we will meet under the big pine tree."

Hobert nodded slightly again without any change in his expression.

"After leaving Backlund, don't trust anyone except me and Dophis!" After Kristine finished this sentence, she changed the topic to another topic.

Hobert didn't seem to hear what he just said, and chatted with Kristen about other topics.

Going to the manor in the suburbs was just a pretense. The group stayed at the manor until the afternoon, then returned to Backlund with a few barrels of aged wine and game caught by the servants in the manor.

Back in his room, Hobert was still wondering what Christine and Dophis were going to do?

I have to say that the two of them did a really good job of keeping it secret. Until now, Hobert didn't even have a clue.

The less he guessed, the more excited Hobert became, and the more he felt that Christine must be planning something big!

He completely trusted Christine. Since the other party was willing to let him stay, he had a certain degree of confidence in their actions.

Hobert believes that he only needs to play by the opportunity when the time comes, and there shouldn't be much danger.

That night, Hobert received a prayer from Rafter. He said that he had returned to Backlund. As expected, he encountered no enemies along the way and did not arouse the suspicion of the royal family when he returned.

So Hobert first used "real vision" to confirm that Rafter was not being monitored, then he put on his windbreaker, put on the mask again, and used "travel" to arrive at Rafter's address on West Vilas Street.

Rafter was kneeling on one knee, waiting for the "creator's" reply. Hobert unscrewed the door handle, opened the door and came in. It was as easy as returning to his own living room.

The sudden appearance of Hobert startled Rafter.

But Rafter immediately adjusted his mood. He stood up and bowed slightly: "Thank you for your help. This is your magical item. It really made me get rid of all the pursuers."

On the way back, Rafter gave full play to his imagination and imagined the battle that started in the cemetery. He believed that it must be just the beginning. If he didn't have the black crystal in his hand, he would definitely be chased by the enemy all the way.

Hobert took the "Order Crystal" and was about to use "Flash" to leave the room first. Rafter quickly asked: "God, Mr. God's Favorite..."

He believed that the masked man in front of him was handling some mundane tasks for the "creator" and should be the legendary "god's favored one".

Rafter smiled flatteringly and said, "I want to become stronger. Do you have any suggestions?"

Hobert looked at Rafter coldly, and after two or three seconds, he said: "Leave Backlund, leave the Kingdom of Loen."

After saying that, he used "Travel" to leave. He had been here for a minute and could use "Travel" again.

Rafter was slightly startled. This was indeed a solution. As long as he was in Backlund, as long as he was in Loen, he would have to be cautious and would not even dare to be promoted to Sequence 7, because he might arouse the suspicion of the royal family.

But, but...

If he leaves Backlund, it will be difficult to fulfill the instructions of the patriarch. In that hidden ruins, there is a huge extraordinary wealth waiting for him to discover.

Then he hesitated, should he ask the "creator" for help?

If he asks the "creator" for help, he will only be able to get a small part of the wealth, but if he doesn't ask the "creator" for help, the wealth may be buried underground in Backlund forever.

…

Hobert, who returned to his bedroom, thought about the whole incident seriously and found that he had left no trace in his contact with Rafter.

In the future, you can consider helping Rafter. For example, if he wants to develop in the Southern Continent, you can use "travel" to help him get rid of the royal family's surveillance.

But that was all. Hobert felt in him an ambition that was not commensurate with his ability. Such a person could easily mess things up.

On Monday morning, Hobert did not go to work at the law firm, but took a cab to the Parliament Buildings. Today he will attend a meeting to formulate the Labor Law.

As soon as he got off the carriage, Hobert discovered that Jessica and several reporters who had made appointments had already arrived.

After Hobert shook hands with them and exchanged a few pleasantries, he led them through the door and was led by the waiter to the designated conference room.

At the door of the conference room, the waiter stopped the reporters: "Sorry, gentlemen, only Lawyer Hobert can attend this meeting."

Hobert smiled and said, "What's your name?"

"Quincy, sir."

Hobert said: "Today's "Backlund Evening News", tomorrow's "Observer", "Kingdom Under the Rule of Law" and other newspapers and magazines will publish such news:

"Mr. Quincy in the parliament hall was ordered to block reporters who were paying attention to the Labor Law. Is there any inside story in this meeting that cannot be known to the citizens of Loen? Is there any transaction that cannot be made public?"
