Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Hobert continued: "As far as I know, Ourolius is the 'King of Angels' of the 'destiny' pathway. He can make time and events fixed in a certain range and repeat in a cycle.

"In addition, according to some vague records, Ourolius seems to like painting murals and likes to leave his abilities in the murals.

"It all fits the description of the sun."

Alger pinched his chin: It turns out that when you reach the level of 'King of Angels', you already have such wonderful and powerful abilities!

Forsi exclaimed: "Destiny" path? A way never heard of! Angels of this path actually have such miraculous abilities! This is simply, simply like the power I imagined a god could have!

"Little Sun" was visibly relieved: Mr. Emperor found the clue so quickly and will definitely be able to help me solve the problem!

He asked: "Mr. Emperor, how should I solve this problem?"

"Since every exploration ends at that little boy's place, it proves that he must be the key!" Hobert said: "Try not to let him mutate or be killed. Maybe we can find a way to break the situation.

"When you return to the 'Land Abandoned by Gods' and meet the little boy again, try to communicate with him as much as possible to see if you can get more information and look for opportunities to break the situation."

Seeing "Little Sun"'s worried face, Hobert nodded blankly. He asked again, "What's the name of that little boy you just said?"

"Little Sun" replied: "My name is Jack."

Hobert asked Alger on the side: "I remember you said before that you hunted down a 'listener' from the Aurora Society, and he even took his child out to sea. Is that child named Jack?"

Of course Alger remembered the father and son. Although he had already made such a guess, he was not sure: "That's what happened. Their purpose of going to sea was to find the sanctuary of the 'True Creator'."

Derrick was a little stunned: "That Jack came from your world to the area around Silver City?"

After a brief moment of surprise, he felt inexplicably happy.

Although he had heard from Mr. Emperor before that many believers of the True Creator had come to the "Land Abandoned by Gods" from the North and South Continents, but that was all a long time ago. Derrick felt that it was more like a story. There are no tangible feelings.

And that little boy Jack actually appeared in front of him, and the two feelings were completely different.

This means that the area where Silver City is located has never been completely sealed off. Since a little boy can come to the "Land Abandoned by God", of course they can also leave the "Land Abandoned by God".

Hobert smiled: "See? Opportunities often lie in difficulties. Never be intimidated by difficulties, because there may be hope in them."

Derrick nodded happily: "Mr. Emperor, thank you for your enlightenment."

Everyone thought what Mr. Emperor said was very philosophical, and Klein recalled a saying: Misfortune lies where blessings depend, and blessing lies where misfortune lies.

Alger suggested: "You can find an opportunity to mention Sunya Sea, the Kingdom of Loen and the port city in front of the little boy Jack. There may be different reactions. Of course, try to avoid the chief of your Silver City. "

Hobert also suggested: "Believe in your teammates and your chief. You can find ways to let them discover the problems you encounter."

Derrick nodded repeatedly, already having a rough plan in mind.

Alger suddenly said: "Of course, this does not rule out that there are other key points. You'd better tell the specific situation, such as the detailed content of the mural, maybe Mr. Emperor can find something useful."

Hobert twitched the corner of his mouth. If you want to pluck wool, you have to pluck it with me.

But he didn't say anything, because he just saw a scene in the mural, and felt that Ouroleus's painting was quite beautiful (maybe it was painted by him), and it was not impossible to take a look at the full picture of the mural.

So Derrick then, with the help of Mr. Fool, materialized all the murals he saw.

When Hobert saw the "evilized" image of the Six Gods, he not only sighed: If Ourolius had lived in the AD era, he must have been a good public intellectual with excellent professional skills.

Just when everyone was wondering which evil gods were depicted, "The World" suddenly said that he had seen similar images, so he embodied the images of the six gods he had seen in the Tudor ruins.

Alger was a little surprised: "It turns out that the murals are distorted images of the six gods. They, they once really had human images..."

Audrey was somewhat angry: blasphemy! This is blasphemy against the goddess.

But she quickly calmed down, because in the Tarot Club, members headed by the "Emperor" often blasphemed.

Forsi felt that there should be a huge mystery in it!

Derrick was stunned for a moment, then understood: "Mr. Hanged Man, are these the Goddess of Night, Lord of Storms and other gods you mentioned?"

"Yes!" Alger responded firmly.

Derrick asked the questions in the other members' minds: "What does they have to do with the end of the world? What does it have to do with our earth being abandoned by the Lord?"

After a brief moment of silence in the hall for a second or two, everyone looked at the "Emperor" out of habit.

Hobert said: "Twenty thousand pounds!"

Only now did he feel that the price he had asked for before seemed to be less. Hey, 300,000 gold riso!

Everyone was a little surprised. It turned out that this was the reason why the information was worth 20,000 pounds, because there were six gods in the cataclysm!

Audrey sighed: There must be a huge secret in this, I really want to know.

Then she thought: Come on, come on, the New Year is coming soon. Starting next week, my financial situation will be restored. If I am more frugal, I will have no problem saving several thousand pounds a month, up to four months. ...No, I will definitely be able to save 20,000 pounds in three months!

Klein guessed: Did the Six Gods play an active role in the catastrophe? Or is it a negative effect? From the information I have now, it seems that the Six Gods rose up around the time of the Cataclysm. Could the Cataclysm be a fleeting historical event? Rather, it was a period similar to the wave of the times. Liushen seized the opportunity in this wave and gained considerable benefits? Also, the "Rose of Redemption" that appears in the mural is also a key point. The "Emperor" mentioned it before, but only mentioned it briefly without going into details.

Alger lamented: In the past few gatherings, we have been discussing the hidden history of the Fourth Age. Now it seems that the history of the Third Age and the period between the Third and Quaternary Ages seems to be even more complicated and confusing.

Forsi's mind was full of: twenty thousand pounds! If I had this money and solved the problem of the full moon curse, I would not have to think about advancement or anything, and I would definitely spend the rest of my life peacefully in the picturesque Jeffrey Town.

After Derrick received Mr. Emperor's answer, he did not continue to dwell on this question because he remembered that Mr. Emperor once said that with the guidance and blessing of Mr. Fool, these questions would be answered sooner or later.

If I can't get an answer now, it only means that my level is too low.

At this time, Mr. Fool, who was sitting at the head of the long bronze table, suddenly knocked on the long table with his hand.

Audrey and other members looked up with excitement, which meant that Mr. Fool had something important to remind them.

Mr. Fool said in a relaxed tone: "Redemption Rose!"

Everyone was stunned, "Redemption Rose" is also a key point?

At the same time, everyone noticed that Mr. Fool's state seemed to have changed, as if he had become stronger and more indescribable.

If it were a normal gathering, everyone would have noticed Miss Justice during the greeting session, but this time everyone's attention was attracted by the "sun" as soon as they came to the party, and they only discovered it now.

Everyone has their own guesses, but the conclusion is similar: Mr. Fool is more powerful than before.

Hobert also had a similar guess. Has he been promoted to Sequence 6? Of course he is more powerful than before.

But Mr. Fool was still so "mysterious". After he reminded the "Redemption Rose", there was no further explanation, so everyone had to turn their attention to Hobert.

Hobert resisted the urge to twitch at the corners of his mouth: You're done pretending, let me clean up the mess!

He sighed and thought of an idiom that has been circulating for a long time: a person cannot be broken even if he is strong.

"Mr. Fool's tip is very important." Hobert said.

The nonsense the leader just said is very important!

He further explained: "Uroleus was a former and current member of the 'Redemption Rose'. After Medici's death, he should have been the actual leader of this organization.

"In addition, the 'Redemption Rose' is indeed the key to solving the '20,000 pound problem'!"

How about it? That’s enough to give you face!

Alger: Mr. Fool knows the inside story of the Cataclysm!

Then he felt that his previous thoughts were a bit ridiculous: How could an ancient god like Mr. Fool not know these things?

Audrey asked curiously: "Medici?"

Hobert smiled: "That's another question."

Need to pay more.

Klein: Originally, I thought that the Rose of Redemption was an organization loyal to the Fallen Creator and would be related to Ouroleus. I also didn’t expect that the Rose of Redemption would be connected to the Cataclysm!

At the party, Klein, who was the only one besides Hobert who knew some relevant information, thought again: "Sure enough, Ourolius is an important member of the 'Redemption Rose'. Listening to the 'Emperor''s tone, it seems that the 'Redemption Rose' has After a huge change, the original 'Redemption Rose' is different from the current 'Redemption Rose'?

"Also, I remember that when the 'Emperor' talked about the 'Angel Family', he mentioned the Medici Family. But I have never heard of this family. Could it be that the angels of the Medici Family fell? Did this family become in decline?"

Because of Hobert's influence on Rafter, Klein and Sharon did not come into contact with the evil spirits of the Medici through Rafter, so they did not know the information about the Medici family and "Port of Bansi".

Derrick tried to summarize the information in the conversation just now: "Mr. Emperor, does Mr. Fool mean that the 'Redemption Rose' and the image of Ourolos in the mural are also key!"

Hobert was afraid that "Little Sun" would think wrongly: "Mr. Fool is reminding you to pay attention to the relevant information about the 'Redemption Rose'. This is the key to solving all the questions in your mind."

Derrick stood up and thanked Mr. Fool and Mr. Emperor again, and then he said to Hobert: "Mr. Emperor, thank you for the knowledge you have disclosed. I will provide you with 5 pieces of sequence 8 levels after this matter is over. Extraordinary materials as reward.

"Including the five main materials I owed you before, I owe you a total of 10 main materials."

During this exploration operation, Derrick accumulated a lot of meritorious deeds, and it was easy for him to redeem 10 pieces of sequence 8-level main materials.

Only then did Hobert remember: "By the way, I have an extraordinary weapon here, are you interested?

"This weapon is in the shape of a war hammer. It has a certain probability of striking out flames. The darker the place, the higher the probability of striking out flames. The highest probability can reach 10%.

"It also has the ability to issue a provocation with a certain probability, causing surrounding enemies to change their attack targets and attack the holder together."

Derrick: This, this is so suitable for use in the "Land Abandoned by Gods"!

He asked: "Mr. Emperor, how can I get it?"

Hobert has already thought about the price: "For 15 pieces of main materials at sequence 8 level, or 7 pieces at sequence 7 level, the requirements are still the same as before. Try to exchange them with the same materials."

Derrick stood up and said, "Thank you, Mr. Emperor."

He had calculated before that what the emperor needed were useless inventory of main materials. In the outside world, a Sequence 8 main material sold for 300 pounds, but in Silver City, those main materials that had been accumulated for hundreds or even thousands of years were not worth it at all. What value does it have? The exchange ratio between the two parties is about 1:30.

The Emperor usually ignored this exchange ratio and regarded the materials provided by Derrick, which had little value in the Silver City, as the value of more than 200 pounds.

Derrick did not expect that he valued it very much and it was an extraordinary weapon that was in great demand in the Silver City. The emperor did not take the opportunity to ask for a high price.

Originally, he thought that Mr. Emperor would need at least 30 pieces of sequence 8-level main materials, and even 50 pieces for Derrick would not be considered excessive.

Because even if 50 pieces of the main materials in stock are exchanged for an extraordinary weapon in the eyes of Derrick and the residents of Silver City, it is a very, very cost-effective business.

In fact, Hobert originally planned to ask for 20 pieces of extraordinary materials, but when he learned that he could crush the failed products in Kelly's eyes and recycle the main extraordinary materials, he felt that he could give "Little Sun" more profit margins. (Note)

Hobert smiled and said: "Since we are all members of the Tarot Society, we naturally have to help each other."

Klein and Alger were both a little envious. They made a rough estimate and found that the "Emperor" could earn at least 2,000 pounds from this transaction.

They only use extraordinary materials as a unit of measurement, but they don't know that Hobert can use these main materials to create more extraordinary weapons, with the value more than quadrupling.

It's just that this transaction has a considerable time cost.

The two of them were envious, but they could not conduct similar transactions. Klein did not have the channel of an "artisan". Although Alger knew an "artisan", he had communicated with the "artisan" not long ago. The "artisan" said I am not good at making extraordinary weapons.

It's not impossible to make it, but the failure rate is relatively high. Alger did a simple calculation and found that he wouldn't make much money after working for a long time, so he gave up the plan.

After settling the matter of "Little Sun" and ending the transaction, the Tarot Club returned to "on track."

Audrey contributed three pages of her diary, and then it was the Fool’s reading time.

After a few minutes, Klein said in a calm tone: "You guys start trading."

Fors first turned to look at Miss Justice on her side: "I have received a reply. My teacher has a pair of mirror dragon eyes. The price is 1,000 pounds."

After the price was quoted, she was a little nervous, because Teacher Dorian's asking price was 800 pounds, which was already a considerable premium, and she added a full 200 pounds.

Forsi was ready, and after bargaining with Miss Justice, he gave the final price of 900.

"Deal." Audrey said with some joy!

At the New Year's Ball, she would officially declare adulthood, and her financial situation would immediately improve, and the New Year was only a few days away.

Deal...deal? This made Forsi stunned for a second or two: Why didn't you make a counteroffer?

The transaction was completed while the seller was half-conscious.

Then Alger said: "Help me find out information about the 'founder'. If the information is valuable, I will pay you a reward ranging from 300 pounds to 2,000 pounds."

This is a very well-rewarded task issued by the Church of Storms. For just a suspected clue, you can receive a reward of 300 pounds.

Klein, who was sitting at the top, glanced at Hobert without leaving any trace.

Hobert sat with his back straight, as if it had nothing to do with him.

None of the other members had heard of the name "The Creator". Audrey asked: "Mr. Hanged Man, who is the 'Creator'? Is it a nickname?"

"This is an honorific title!" Alger, who had obtained a lot of information from the church, quickly corrected him: "I got the news that at noon yesterday, an Extraordinary family loyal to the 'Founder' had a relationship with the 'Rose School of Thought' in General Anthony's domain. 'There was a fierce and extraordinary battle.

"It is said that both sides sent out saints. Many people turned into monsters and madmen because of the aftermath of this battle. A large forest withered and turned into a dead place."

With Alger's level, he only heard about the battle at this level. The church did not announce to him that angels were dispatched by both sides at that time.

When he first heard the news, Alger thought that the "Creator" was another identity of Mr. Fool, so he announced this mission in the Tarot Club.

The temptation is not to dare to tempt again. He has the mentality of reporting work to the leader: Look, should I report some clues that are not very valuable to the church?

Of course, Klein also heard what Alger meant. He thought about it for a moment before saying, "You can ask the 'Emperor'!"

The first thing he said was to tell the "Emperor": You didn't expect it! I know that it is the favored one of the "Creator".

From now on, things involving the "god level" with the "creator" will begin!

For example, there are some things that can be communicated with the "Creator". "Klein, the Beloved of Mr. Fool" sometimes needs the help of the "Creator". Hobert, the Beloved of the "Creator", also sometimes needs the help of the "Fool". We help each other and also exchange hostages.

In this way, Klein would feel more at ease when he asked the "creator" for help.

The second is to announce to everyone that the "Emperor" is the favored one of the "Creator". This is equivalent to a certification and introduction to the "Emperor" as the superior "Fool".

Anyway, everyone will know this level of identity sooner or later. The superior person "The Fool" announces it to everyone, which is completely different from the "Emperor" announcing it himself or other members announcing it for the "Emperor"!

This is very similar to a colleague in the company who has done something good and good, and the boss or chairman of the company personally praises it. The effect is completely different from the effect of other colleagues at the same level praising this good person and good deed.

The reason why "The Fool" is so considerate of a certain member is because Hobert's further explanation of "Redemption Rose" just now was very face-saving, which made Klein feel that he should express something while it was difficult for everyone to notice.

After hearing the news, Alger, who had some suspicions about the events of the "Creator", was most surprised: Mr. Fool had already handed over some real-world affairs to the "Emperor"?

Audrey: Hobert knows something about the Creator? Why haven't I heard him mention it?

Of course, Hobert also understood that this was not about Klein kicking the ball to him, but about creating an opportunity for him to reveal another layer of his identity.

After announcing this level of identity, it is not impossible to achieve some linkage between the "Fool" and the "Creator".

In particular, Hobert knew that if these members here were to create this relationship early in the future when they were at the "at least half-god" level, the "Tarot Society" would likely become foreign aid to the "creator" in the future.

So Hobert first said to Klein: "It turns out you already knew this!"

Hahaha, that’s actually what I told you on purpose, just because I hope to become “mutual fans” with you.

Then he said to Alger: "I am actually the favored one of the 'Creator'!"

Alger took a deep breath: The "creator" is not Mr. Fool! He, is he also an ancient god who is awakening? Otherwise, it would be impossible that I had never heard of His honorable name before, but now he suddenly showed amazing strength! Mr. Fool knows about the "Creator" and even draws the "Creator"'s loved ones into the Tarot Society. Is there some degree of cooperation between the two ancient gods?

Audrey was somewhat unhappy: Huh! Hobert didn't even tell me!

Forsi: "The Creator" is a god similar to "The Fool"? Otherwise, the "emperor" would not be able to call himself the "favored one". No wonder Mr. Emperor knows so much. It turns out that behind him there is an organization similar to the "Tarot Society" or a secret organization similar to the "Aurora Society".

Derrick was a little envious: It's great that the gods Mr. Emperor believes in can also affect the real world.

"Then, then I won't report any information about the 'creator'." Alger didn't expect that things would be like this. He originally had the mentality of "reporting to the leader", but he guessed completely wrong.

The most embarrassing thing is that the "Creator"'s beloved is sitting next to him, but he is announcing a mission to obtain information about the "Creator".

Hobert smiled and said, "It's not impossible to provide some trivial information."

Who can have trouble with money?

"You can report it to the church." Hobert said: "In this battle, the 'creator' prevented the arrival of the 'god's evil'!"

Note: In Chapter 411, when Hobert went to Backlund to complete the transaction of extraordinary weapons with Kelly, he talked about the issue of failed extraordinary weapons.

At that time, the author ignored the law of conservation of extraordinary characteristics and made relevant modifications after being reminded by a book friend.

The general content added after the modification is: Hobert realized that the failed product could be crushed and its extraordinary properties extracted, so Jessica sent the failed product to him.

When I wrote this today, the author just thought that those of you who have been reading may not know this, so I will explain it (*￣(エ)￣)
