Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Sire looked at the lord who disappeared in front of him and was stunned for three or four seconds before he quickly put on his shoes and went to the room inside the cabin to call Albert.

Albert yawned and opened the door: "It's not yet dawn!"

"His Majesty asked us to go to the deck!"

Albert looked at Siel blankly: "Aren't you sleepwalking, are you?"

"Love goes or goes."

Looking at Siel leaving the cabin, Albert hesitated and followed him out. If it was really Siel who was sleepwalking, he would just take a few more steps.

But if what he said is true, the loss would be too great if he didn't go.

Arriving on the deck, Albert actually saw the lord standing on the bow of the ship with his hands behind his back.

He looked at the still-moving "Hippo" and the river water on both sides of the "Hippo". He was still on the boat!

Although he didn't understand what was going on, he immediately respectfully shouted: "Sir!"

Hobert glanced at the swords in both hands, and then asked Albert: "Do you have the sealed artifact with you?"

Albert nodded: "Yes!"

Of course, you should carry the treasures passed down from your ancestors with you.

"Tonight, a group of enemies invaded Jeffrey's territory. I have killed their commanders, and now they have eight soldiers left. I will take you to practice your skills."

Silr was immediately excited. Since he obtained the extraordinary ability, he has never had the chance to use it, and he has long wanted to fight.

Albert was thinking that Sir Alex might need help, so he needed our help: "I'll ask Wayne to stop the boat."

"No!" Hobert held the two people's shoulders: "I want to take you through the spirit world. Lower your heads and don't look at the creatures in the spirit world."

Before Silr could ask what the spiritual world was, the space in front of them became illusory, and the two of them came to the spiritual world where there was no distinction between front, back, left, and right.

They couldn't use their eyes at all, and everything they saw was strange. They waited until they left the spiritual world, and were stunned for a few seconds, as if they were reminiscing about the wonderful journey they had just taken.

Hobert pointed to the farmhouse halfway up the mountain in front of him: "Those eight soldiers are inside. I will rush in directly in a while, and you can surround the two enemies who escaped.

"Those two enemies are evenly matched with you. Try your best to defeat them!"

After saying that, Hobert didn't care about the two people's reactions and strode towards the farmhouse.

The mercenary who was standing guard outside noticed Hobert and immediately blew the whistle as a warning, but after only one blow, a black light flashed and a knife was inserted into his forehead.

Hobert stepped forward quickly, put away the knife with one hand, and kicked a wall directly down.

Regardless of the enemy pinned down by the wall, Hobert stepped forward quickly and slashed to death an enemy who jumped out of the window to escape.

Another kick kicked an enemy who was overestimating his strength and attacked Hobert until his chest collapsed.

Albert outside had been dumbfounded for a long time, but now he understood that the lord really wanted him to practice with Sil.

This made Albert a little flattered. After all, Schier was Sir Alex's confidant, and he also had the opportunity to participate in this experience, which showed that Sir Alex was interested in him.

In fact, it was just because Hobert knew in his heart that as long as a noble like Albert knew that the new lord had an earl father, he would be loyal to him wholeheartedly.

So while Hobert was training Schier, he also took him with him.

The battle over there was over, and two enemies ran out covered in dust and with frightened faces.

These were the two Sequence 9s, with Hobert following closely behind. Without the Lord's further orders, Schier and Albert drew their swords and rushed forward to intercept the two fleeing enemies.

Hobert stood behind and guided: "Siel, in addition to stabbing, the sword can also cut and pick!

"Albert, pay attention to the timing of using the sealed object, so as not to conflict with your attack.

"Siel, watch your steps and follow your spiritual feelings.

"Albert, the spirituality of ordinary people is extremely limited, so don't use sealed objects too frequently.

"Siel..."

Under Hobert's guidance, it took Schier seven or eight minutes to finally kill his opponent, while Albert took two more minutes, leaving the two of them sitting on the ground gasping for air.

This was all thanks to Hobert holding the battle from the side, otherwise these two guys would not have been able to defeat the mercenaries with rich combat experience.

After the two of them took a few breaths, Hobert asked Scheer: "What do you think?"

Sil stood up immediately and said: "Even if I have extraordinary abilities, I still have to practice every day without slacking off. Next time I encounter such an opponent, I will definitely not be so strenuous!"

Hobert nodded with satisfaction and looked at Albert again.

Albert was a little envious of Sire. After following the lord for such a short period of time, he had already gained extraordinary power.

After feeling Lord Dao's gaze, he immediately stood up and said, "Although I have practiced swordsmanship since I was a child, I am still too weak for extraordinary people."

Hobert commented: "Your strength and agility are about the same as the opponent's, but you lack the experience of fighting extraordinary people. Of course, this is only for some Sequence 9s. Many Sequence 9s are stronger than you as long as they take magic potions.

"If you have fought against Sequence 8, you will truly feel your own weakness."

Hobert raised his hand deliberately and obviously, and the eight corpses immediately stood up. Soon the extraordinary characteristics in their bodies were released. The corpses held their own extraordinary characteristics and handed them to Hobert one by one.

Sire and Albert stood there stiffly, not even daring to breathe. If they hadn't seen the lord raise his hand just now and knew that these corpses stood up because of the lord's ability, they would have turned around and ran away.

Especially Albert, whether it was traveling through the spirit world or manipulating corpses, he felt that he had just seen the true face of the extraordinary world today.

At the same time, he was also grateful that in middle age, he finally met someone who could give him the ability he wanted and who he could devote all his loyalty to.

After "handing over" their extraordinary properties, the eight corpses returned to the dilapidated farmhouse and lay down, as if falling asleep again.

This farmhouse is a single-family abandoned farmhouse. The fight just now did not attract the attention of the villagers in the distance.

And this place is not within Hobert's territory, so Hobert has no intention of taking care of those corpses.

He held the shoulders of the two men again and sent them back to the "Hippo": "Carefully summarize the battle just now and carefully consider the opponent's fighting skills."

After leaving these words, Hobert disappeared into the void.

At this time, the sky was just beginning to turn white. Sire and Albert on the deck looked at each other, both feeling that the experience just now was full of incredible.

Silr was surprised and a little excited. He thought that as long as he remained loyal to the Lord and actively participated in extraordinary battles, one day he would be as powerful as the Lord.

Albert also secretly vowed in his heart that he must take every order of the Lord seriously and show the strongest loyalty.

He laughed secretly in his heart: That idiot Grove actually defected. He didn't even know what opportunity he had missed.

…

When Hobert returned to the study, he heard the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong coming from next door. It turned out that Allen had woken up the carpenters in advance to repair the door and windows of Hobert's room.

Hobert was not very sleepy, so he locked the door of the study and dedicated all the proceeds from this battle to the "Country of Disorder".

This raid was cleaner than the last time. Two mercenary teams were completely eliminated in one fell swoop, and 14 extraordinary characteristics and two magical items were harvested.

The only threat coming from Loen might be the people from MI9.

However, after this battle, the people from MI9 would probably not take action if they were not led by a demigod.

Hobert believed that with the strength he had shown in Backlund before, it was impossible for MI9 to dispatch a demigod for him.

As for the mercenaries, Hobert remembered that there were only a dozen of the top mercenary teams in the entire northern continent. They basically all had official backgrounds and carried out some operations against the enemy that were not suitable for the government.

Now that three groups were wiped out in South Colson at once, other mercenary teams probably also knew that Hobert's strength was completely inconsistent with the bounty.

It's not that the bounty is too high, but that the bounty is too low. It is estimated that the remaining top mercenary teams will not take action easily.

Thinking of this, Hobert was a little disappointed. Without these transportation teams, his income would definitely be affected.

Next, he plans to set up an extraordinary market of his own in the auction house. All the extraordinary characteristics he has accumulated before will be used to activate the market and at the same time relieve the financial pressure of Jeffrey.

Thinking of this, Hobert turned his attention to the extraordinary characteristics in front of him.

Among them, there is one extraordinary characteristic of sequence 5 level "Chaos Tutor"; three pieces of sequence 6 level, one "Wind Blessed", one "Judge", and one "Conspirator" extraordinary characteristic.

One sequence 7-level "briber" extraordinary characteristic; six sequence 8-level items, three "sheriff", one "barbarian", one "provocateur", and one "fighter" extraordinary characteristics.

Two pieces of sequence 9 levels, one "Arbiter" and one "Warrior" path with extraordinary characteristics.

In addition, two magical items were harvested. One is a sealed item of the "dark" pathway, which can cause creatures in a certain area to lose most of their active will.

Although it is a sealed object with range attack, it does not distinguish between friend and foe.

Hobert seemed to have imagined a scene where two groups of people were originally going to rush together to fight, but under the influence of this sealed object, they all stared at each other blankly, losing the will to fight.

Then this sealed object can be named "Peace Messenger".

The sword that can pierce Hobert is a magical item from the "Hunter" path. It has the ability of "fatal attack" and can make the sword extremely sharp and indestructible. Every thrust of the sword is a "weak point attack". Even if the location struck is not the target's weak point, it can become a weak point.

However, Hobert does not intend to use it to replace the sword in his hand, because this sword also requires three strikes to break through the "Guardian's" "Morning Barrier", while the Tang Dao in Hobert's hand only requires two strikes. This shows how strong this knife's ability to "break defense" is.

Hobert placed these two magical items in the "Country of Disorder" as an accumulation of his own sealed items.

After a period of time, after you have established your own extraordinary power, you can use it for the "official extraordinary people" in the territory.

When there are sealed objects and official Extraordinaries, the official Extraordinary system of this territory will be established.

The power of the Mother Earth Church and the Gnostic Society can gradually marginalize them and only be responsible for religious cases.

Sitting on the "Iron Throne", Hobert did not leave the "State of Disorder" immediately, but considered "reducing the burden" on himself.

One of the problems he faces now is that he has too many magical items on his body. Although the negative effects are not strong, he still has to spend a lot of effort to avoid them every day.

The key is that as Hobert's own abilities become stronger, some items can be placed in the "State of Disorder" and taken out when needed.

For example, the "Psychic Spoon" is a magical item that is rarely used nowadays. Hobert prefers to kill his enemies through psychics.

And its ability to block attacks from the spiritual world has gradually become useless.

Originally, the "Black Emperor" path had "passive skills" to resist mental attacks. At the level of "Chaos Tutor", Hobert's mental power has become so powerful that he can effectively resist mental attacks and psychic attacks.

The ability of "Frenzy" has not been used for a long time. Now Hobert has the ability of "Frenzy", which overlaps with "Frenzy".

The biggest function of the "Psychological Spoon" now is "hypnosis". You can get it from the "State of Disorder" when you need it.

Another magical item that is somewhat useless is the "Light Priest Ring". It is very powerful, but in this battle, its ability was not used even once.

Or because Hobert's own abilities can completely replace the abilities of some magical items.

If you are doing some exploration in the dark, or you know that you will face enemies who are afraid of the sun, it is not too late to go to the "State of Disorder" to get it.

The situation of "Dream Stealing Pocket Watch" is similar to that of "Light Priest Ring", there is no need to carry it with you anymore.

Originally, Hobert was planning to place the "Ocean Pendant" in the "Land of Disorder", but its "low flying" ability is really useful. It enhances Hobert's maneuvering speed and can be worn temporarily.

The situation of "Faceless Man Necklace" is similar to that of "Ocean Pendant". The ability of "Paper Man Stand" is very useful and can be worn temporarily.

The "fighting ring" is no longer needed and must be placed in the "country of disorder".

As for other magical items, there are "Healing Fork", "Traveler's Knife", "Psychic Wine Glass", and "Living Corpse Spoon". They all have irreplaceable functions or new functions and can be carried with you for the time being. .

Hobert still has six magical items on him, which makes it a little easier.

Then Hobert looked at the scepter he got from Medici. It was a semi-god-level sealed object that could enhance his combat power.

He waved his hand, held the scepter in his hand, and felt its negative effects again: "The holder's thinking can easily become distorted, and the original intention of attacking will become defensive; the holder will become extremely greedy. , any property can attract a certain amount of his attention; the holder will become fond of laughing, and sometimes laughter will interrupt the display of his extraordinary abilities."

Hobert stretched out his hand again, summoned the "Power of Order", and tried to seal it.

However, the effect of the seal is not as good as expected, and the negative effects of the scepter are not less, but in the first ten minutes of use, the negative effects can be greatly reduced. However, some of the negative effects will temporarily affect the holders regardless of whether they continue to hold them.

In other words, this scepter can only be used for ten minutes at a time! Then you have to rest for at least half an hour to avoid negative effects again.

Hobert thought about it for a moment, then took a piece of "Order Crystal", transformed the "Order Crystal", and wrapped it around the scepter.

This turned it into a scepter with the appearance of black crystal. Hobert planned to put it on his waist and use it as an accessory, and then "remove" its shell when in use.

After finishing these things, Hobert returned to the real world. The sky outside had just begun to lighten up, and there were roosters crowing everywhere.

Hobert used "travel" to reach the highest point of the mountain, breathing in the white mist, looking at the misty Full Moon Lake and the rising smoke.

Hobert has gradually become emotionally invested in this territory, especially after seeing this vibrant scene, he hopes that it will become rich and prosperous.

Then Hobert extended his gaze to the territory of Viscount Faceton opposite Full Moon Lake, and looked at the entire South Colson that was gradually waking up.

He reached out his hand and made a grabbing and fisting gesture.

Hobert pursed his lips and smiled, not feeling that his actions just now were childish at all.

The next second, he entered the spirit world again and returned to his study.

Breakfast is ready, and Hobert's room is repaired.

After breakfast, Hobert caught up on his sleep, and around ten o'clock he started busy again.

…

Backlund, 29 West Vilas Street, Queens.

Rafter, who was studying a geographical magazine, felt something in his heart and looked towards the door.

Dong Dong Dong~

After three knocks on the door, he opened the door and a man came in wearing a black crystal mask, a black windbreaker, and a black crystal scepter in his waist.

Rafter immediately stood up excitedly: "God's Favored One!"

And this "god's favored one" is of course Hobert: "The great 'creator' asked you to go to the suburbs of Backlund, and I brought you two things."

After saying that, Hobert took out a black mask made of "Order Crystal". The mask that Hobert gave to Rafter before was sacrificed back by this kid. There was also a small bottle of blood: "Take Here comes the map!”

Rafter quickly found a map of the very suburbs of Backlund, and Hobert marked the location of the ruins: "When you get to the marked location, pray to the 'Creator' and He will send you to a ruins underground.

"There is a noble courtyard in the ruins. After you find it, the 'creator' will unlock the seal there and send you to the underground part of the ruins!

"When you come to the underground part, you will see an underground corridor. First, arrange an altar, and then smear this bottle of blood on the wall.

"Attention! After wiping the blood, close your eyes immediately! Otherwise you will die!

"After feeling the great fear, I closed my eyes and offered sacrifice to the 'creator'!"

When Rafter heard that he might die, his heart trembled slightly, but then he thought that with the "creator" watching, he would not be in much danger, and then he felt relieved.

Hobert pointed to the mask on the table: "As long as you complete this mission, this mask will be yours.

"This is the sign of the 'Creator's Beloved. You will be directly under my leadership. I will occasionally issue you some tasks. As long as you complete the tasks, you will accumulate merit and give you some rewards.

“If there is any problem that cannot be solved, pray to the Creator if it is urgent, or write to me and call my messenger if it is not urgent.

"The method to summon the messenger is..., and the reward for each summon is three donuts."

Rafter wrote them down one by one, suddenly feeling excited and relieved that he had found an organization: "What should I call you?"

"Just call me God's Favored One!"

"yes!"

Rafter watched the "God's Favored One" open the door and leave, and then his spiritual sense felt that the other party disappeared outside the door.

Rafter stared in the direction of the door in a daze for a while, then he put away his mask and medicine bottle as if suddenly awakened, put on some clothes, made a disguise, and left the room through the window.

…

Kingdom of Feneport, Jeffrey Territory.

Hobert used "travel" to return to his study. If anything happened in the future, he planned to contact Rafter directly.

This is the correct usage of "small account", otherwise it would be inappropriate for the "creator" to come forward to make a big deal.

At the same time, he also planned to tell Upton how to summon his messenger when he bought the train, so as to realize a single line of contact with him.

Tomorrow, Hobert plans to take a "far trip" to the Southern Continent to connect with Elliot and establish a single line of communication with him.

In this way, all the current resources are connected through the identity of the "creator" and the favored one.

Hobert drank tea and waited for Rafter to arrive at the designated place on the outskirts of Backlund.

At this time, Allen brought the blood, skin and other spiritual materials of the ancient Canglong beast, as well as the internal organs collected previously, to Hobert's study.

Fortunately, it is winter now, and these things are all spiritual materials. They have been stored for several days without any signs of deterioration.

Because of its huge size, the Ancient Canglong Beast had a lot of spiritual materials, filling seven large boxes.

Hobert didn't know how to use these materials, so he simply sold them all to the Church of the Mother Earth.

However, the liver crystal of the ancient Azure Dragon Beast is certainly not included in this sale.

Hobert made a list and then summoned a courier. It took ten donuts to ask the courier to deliver seven large boxes to Feneport City.

After finishing these tasks, Hobert heard the call of prayer from the "Land of Disorder".

Arriving at the "Land of Disorder", it turns out that Rafter has arrived.

Hobert once again used the "Teleport Stone Statue" to send Rafter to the ruins.

…

The suburb of Backlund.

Rafter held up the lamp and looked around, sighing at the hugeness of the ruins. Then he recalled the words of the "God's Favored One" and headed to the tallest and largest building in the ruins.

After arriving in the noble courtyard, Rafter's eyes became magical again. When he came to his senses, he had already appeared in a long underground passage.

Rafter sighed: "I didn't expect that Backlund would have so many relics."

He knew that the "creator" was watching him, so he did not dare to delay. After a brief sigh, he quickly followed the instructions of the "god's favored one", arranged the altar, and then smeared the blood on it.

Soon he saw a strange shape of a stone door appearing where the blood was smeared. At this time, he suddenly remembered the instructions of the "God's Favored One" and quickly closed his eyes.

After losing his sight in the unknown ruins, Rafter immediately became a little nervous and a little embarrassed.

Especially after a few seconds, a frightening feeling that made his whole body tremble appeared. Rafter wanted to open his eyes several times, but he endured it.

He finally understood why the "God's Favored One" asked him to arrange the altar in advance. In such a state, let alone setting up the altar, he even struggled to light a candle.

With the occasional trembling sound of teeth clashing, Rafter completed the sacrifice process.

Another surge of power appeared in the underground ruins, neutralizing the feeling of fear deep in the soul.

Soon, that feeling of fear completely disappeared.

The voice of the "Creator" appeared in Rafter's ear: "You can open your eyes."

Rafter opened his eyes and saw an ordinary stone room in front of him. He didn't know what it was that frightened him so much. He only knew that the level of that thing must be very high, otherwise the "creator" wouldn't be interested.

In addition, he discovered that the strange door just now was also missing.

Thanks to [Tyrant 29] for the reward.

Thanks to [The God Eater who opened up the wasteland] for the reward.
