Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Freya shed tears again when she saw Hobert "returning empty-handed."

Hobert explained to her: "Your sister is safe and is in the church of the Church of the Night Goddess."

Freya breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, thank you, kind sir, how should I thank you?"

Hobert pulled out the knife, wiped it carefully with a handkerchief, cut off a small piece of meat from the ham handed over by Old Kohler, opened the mask diagonally, put it in his mouth, chewed it and said, "We'll talk about it later."

He cut off two more pieces of meat and handed them to Old Kohler and Freya respectively.

The moment Kohler chewed the meat, a smile immediately appeared on his face, as if the illness he had just experienced was a test for eating this mouthful of meat.

Although Freya had no appetite, she did not dare to refuse Hobert. She also put it in her mouth and chewed it, but it was like chewing wax.

Hobert put away his knife and then said: "I want to tell you something. This fog was actually caused by someone or some force. It is not a natural disaster!"

Old Kohler almost choked on the piece of ham that he had been reluctant to swallow. His first reaction was unexpected and unbelievable, but then he thought of the magical ability of the mysterious man in front of him, and he gradually believed it.

Freya was also stunned. Although it sounded incredible, she did not question it because just now she could clearly feel that she was only one step away from death. On the streets of the East District, there were people wandering on the edge of life and death every day. .

She was too aware of the smell of death. If it hadn't been for the gentleman in front of her, she knew that she would have died on the damp ground with her mother.

It makes no sense for a gentleman with such a magical ability to lie to himself and Lao Kohler about this kind of thing.

Hobert asked again: "Do you want to avenge those who died today?"

A strong anger flashed in Old Kohler's eyes, but then, the anger gradually disappeared.

He touched the gray hair on his temples: "Sir, I am already old. My ability to live one more day is a gift from the gods. I don't want to get involved in the affairs of big shots."

Hobert nodded and looked at Freya again.

In addition to anger, Freya also felt sad about the death of her mother: "Sir, what can I do to get revenge?"

"Make yourself stronger until you are able to defeat those people." Hobert said: "Be my student, and I will teach you how to become stronger."

Freya was about to nod immediately, but she hesitated: "Sir, can I take my sister to follow you?"

"No! If you separate, you will each grow a lot, but if you stay together, with the speed of your growth, there is no way to take revenge." Hobert explained again:

"After you leave, Daisy will enter the welfare home of the Church of the Night Goddess. At least she will have no worries about food and clothing. She will have funds distributed on time and can continue to go to school until she graduates from grammar school.

"When you are able to return to Backlund in the future, you can come back to see Daisy, and you can also take her with you after she graduates.

"Of course, the premise of all this is that you are good enough."

Freya was hesitant. Her mother had just passed away and Daisy was still young. The two sisters should depend on each other.

Hobert did not urge or continue to persuade. If he really wanted Freya to follow him, he could use the power of the "Psychic Spoon" to hypnotize her.

Of course he would not do this, but would let Freya make her own choice. Even if Freya chose to stay in Backlund, he would not make any intervention.

Freya also realized that this was an opportunity to change her destiny.

If he stayed in Backlund, although he could take care of Daisy, he would still have to do laundry work and even occasionally work as a street girl to make ends meet.

There are too many such examples around her.

And if you follow this gentleman, although the future will be full of uncertainty, at least you will have a chance to get rid of your current fate.

After thinking for two or three minutes, Freya said: "Sir, I am willing to go with you, but the condition is that I want to say goodbye to Daisy."

Hobert nodded: "No problem."

He paused and said, "Follow me."

Hobert took old Kohler and Freya into the Harvest Church. The church was very busy at this time. Emlyn was diagnosing people who entered the church and distributing soups, while Bishop Utravsky was distributing food to everyone.

Hobert first introduced Bishop Utravsky, and then he said: "Father, this old man is a survivor of the Great Smog Incident. Can you take him in for a few days?"

It would be best to wait until the official Beyonder investigation is completed before letting him go back.

Utaravsky agreed to keep Old Kohler here as a helper for a few days, and the Harvest Church was temporarily responsible for his food and lodging.

He glanced at Freya again, and Hobert sighed: "I just rescued two people."

"Giant Bishop" said: "The Mother Goddess will see your actions of saving lives. With your reminder, we have prepared enough medicinal materials to treat so many people. The Mother Goddess will also see these kind actions of yours." .”

Hobert said to himself: These words made me feel a chill on my back.

He drew leaves symbolizing life on his chest: "These are all good deeds completed under the guidance of the Mother Goddess! Praise the Mother Goddess!"

Hobert pointed to Emlyn who was distributing medicine over there, and introduced to Old Kohler: "That's Mr. Emlyn, he is a very good doctor. If you feel uncomfortable, you can go to him directly. There is no charge. "

Emlyn also recognized Hobert, who was still wearing a mask: "Don't listen to the 'traitor's' nonsense, my consultation fee is very high."

Hobert added: "He does consultations at Harvest Church and he doesn't charge for consultations."

Emlyn curled his lips and said nothing more.

He happened to have some free time at the moment, so he glanced at Old Kohler and said, "Old man, your body is very weak. If you can, eat more meat. If you can't, eat more soybeans."

"Thank you, doctor, thank you doctor." Of course, old Kohler could see that although this handsome doctor had a bad tone and looked impatient, he was very skilled in medicine and was willing to consider poor people like himself.

Ordinary doctors would not care about whether patients like Old Kohler should eat meat or soybeans.

After settling in Old Kohler, saying goodbye to Utravsky and Emlyn, Hobert took Freya away.

Before leaving, Hobert said to old Kohler: "Happy New Year!"

Only then did the old Kohler know: "It turned out to be that gentleman."

He tried hard to recall the gentleman's appearance, but because he couldn't see the other person's face clearly at that time, the recall was unsuccessful.

At this time, the thick fog had been blown away by the strong wind, and the outline of the sun could even be seen.

Hobert found a deserted corner and used "travel" to take Freya to the Church of the Night Goddess.

At this time, the thick yellowish fog had just dissipated, and the church door was still closed.

Hobert explained his purpose to the servant of the Church of the Night Goddess, and Daisy did know Freya, so the servant let Daisy out.

The two sisters first hugged each other and cried bitterly. Daisy held onto her sister's clothes tightly: "I thought I would never see you and mom again."

"Mom, mom..." Freya didn't know what to say for a moment.

Daisy realized something was wrong and hurried home with Freya. When she saw her mother lying on the ground, she naturally burst into tears again.

Hobert found a hearse and took Liv's body with Freya and Daisy to the cemetery.

This time Hobert did not take them to the cemetery on a "trip", giving the sisters enough time to say goodbye to their mother.

Hobert did not ride in the carriage with them, but found a deserted place and quickly sacrificed the sealed objects from the "wrong" route to the "Country of Disorder".

The negative effects of level 1 sealed objects are really terrible!

At the same time, he took some gold pounds from the "State of Disorder" in the form of a sacrifice. All the money he had brought with him before was given to Bishop Utravsky.

By the time the hearse arrived at the cemetery, Hobert had already purchased the cemetery and coffin, and also invited the priest.

Liv was not hastily burned and hastily put into a small box like everyone else who died in the East End today.

She has her own tomb and coffin, and even a tombstone on which to engrave an epitaph.

Hobert asked the sisters for their opinion: "How about an epitaph that says 'She was a devoted mother'?"

The sisters, who could no longer cry, nodded slowly and quietly watched their mother being requiemed and buried.

After all the staff left, only sisters Hobert and Freya were left in front of the tombstone.

Freya whispered to Daisy that she was leaving with the masked gentleman. Daisy had just witnessed the cemetery and coffin prepared by Hobert for her mother, and also helped to hire a priest, so she was already mentally prepared.

In the East District, this kind of thing is too common. The housekeeper of a high-ranking official can help bury a relative, or give a sum of money to take away a seventeen-year-old girl.

Some of those girls never came back, and some became the lovers of some big shot, making the whole family live a good life.

Daisy said: "Sir, my sister doesn't talk much, but she is very kind-hearted. Please treat her well."

Hobert did not explain, but just said: "Study hard!"

After putting Daisy on the carriage, the carriage sped away in the eyes of the two sisters.

It wasn't until the carriage disappeared into the street that Freya wiped the tears from her eyes and said to Hobert: "Kind sir, thank you for waiting patiently. Let's go."

Hobert looked confused: "Who are you?"

He looked around: "Why am I at the entrance to the cemetery?"

Freya opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

After a second or two, Hobert's eyes were no longer so confused: I have been put back into the "Land of Disorder"! The stamina of a level 1 sealed object is so great!

He said to Freya who looked surprised at the side: "This is the price of gaining strength."

Freya nodded in understanding.

Then Hobert used "Travel" to take Freya to appear in Jeffrey's territory, in his study.

He asked Freya to move a chair and sit on one side of the desk.

Hobert took off his mask and said: "First of all, I want to introduce myself. My name is Hobert Jeffrey. You may have heard of me."

Freya thought about it for a moment, and finally shook her head slowly. Her previous job had no contact with politics or even newspapers.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Hobert explained: "I used to work as a lawyer in Backlund, and then due to some reasons, I became a lord of the Feneport Kingdom.

"Okay, let's talk about your learning tasks again. Starting from tomorrow, I will teach you the words and pronunciation of Rune and Fenebaud for two hours every day. You will also spend two to three hours every day. Practice. The other half of the day..."

Freya, who has always dreamed of learning vocabulary and grammar, stood up happily. She rushed to say: "In the other half of the day, I will clean your mansion!"

"No, you can't clean it by yourself. Sit down, sit down." Hobert continued: "You have to go and look around the territory. You don't have to do anything else, just look!"

Hobert did not intend to let Freya become an Extraordinary as soon as she came up. He planned to wait for Selina to come and give them the opportunity to become Extraordinary at the same time.

Before that, let Freya adjust to her new life.

Freya was a little embarrassed: "But, but..."

"Use your eyes to feel the changes in this territory during the recent period, and try to broaden your horizons. This is the prerequisite for becoming a good student."

Freya nodded quickly: "Yes, yes..."

"Alan!" Hobert called the valet who was waiting outside: "This is my student Miss Freya. She is a little uncomfortable here when she first came here. Please take her to visit the Lord's Mansion and arrange for her to stay here." The room next to Marcy and Mary.

“Also, take her to a small town to make some local-style clothes, and go to the warehouse to find a desk and chair to send to my study.

"Oh, by the way, she doesn't speak Fenebaud yet. You can help her organize these things."

Marcy and Mary are Forsi's two maids.

"Yes!" Allen was also a little surprised. The lord hadn't come out of the study all day, so why did he suddenly have a female student? Don’t speak Feneport yet?

Strangely enough, Allen still took Freya out politely, and then he dared to look up at "Sir's student".

She looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, her skin and hair were a little rough, her cheeks were thin and yellow, and her hands seemed to be burned. But even so, she still had the vigor that a girl should have, but she looked a little shy.

Allen looked at Freya's clothes again. They had exotic features, but the clothes looked a little worn and patched.

While making a basic judgment on Freya's life experience, he couldn't help but sigh: "What good luck!"

It is definitely good luck to be favored by the Duke and become his student.

Hobert took a break, but as soon as he stopped, he was immediately reminded of the sight of corpses lying on the streets of the East Side.

Only then did he suddenly think: The black dog spirit beast has not been recovered yet! Why didn't it come to me?

Hobert quickly entered the "Land of Disorder", but still couldn't sense the black dog spirit beast.

He held his chin and thought for a while, then returned to the real world and used the "Faceless Man Necklace" to divine the whereabouts of the black dog spirit beast, but the result of the divination was a dark night.

Hobert was about to change to another divination word when he suddenly thought: He won't be taken into the foggy town!

He immediately changed the divination words: "The black dog spirit beast blessed by the ancient God of Death is in the foggy town!"

"..."

After reading it seven times in a row, the divination failed.

Hobert sacrificed the "Faceless Man Necklace" to the "Land of Disorder" for divination again, but the divination still failed.

Although the "State of Disorder" has a high status, it only has a certain ability to counter divination, but it does not have much bonus to divination.

Hobert thought about it and came up with an idea. He held a "power of order" in his hand and tried to establish contact with the "power of order" in the black dog spirit beast.

This time he finally felt the "power of order" within the black dog spirit beast, but that was all, and he could not obtain any more information.

But this is enough for Hobert. After such a long time, the "power of order" in the black dog spirit beast has not been diluted, which is enough to prove that it is now in a closed space.

It should be the foggy town!

Isn’t this just bad luck? In the blink of an eye, he was sent into the foggy town by the goddess of the night!

Hobert frowned: "It would be great even if we just send the Bull Demon King in!"

Then he seemed to realize something, and said to the skull of the black-haired and golden-horned monster: "I don't have any other intention, I just want you to see the world!"

The "Ox Demon King" can only be used seven times now, while the Black Dog Spirit Beast can theoretically be used countless times.

Hobert sighed: Now, not only the angel-level combat power, but also the saint-level combat power must be used sparingly.

At this moment, Hobert saw a strange star expanding in the pool in front of him.

He spread his spirituality, and it turns out that members of the Balk family were offering money for extraordinary characteristics.

…

Southern Continent, on the outskirts of Crolier City.

Elliot, Lawrence and others are discussing the construction of textile factories and sending people to study in the northern continent.

Lawrence suddenly wanted to play with the level 0 sealed object, so he took out the crown sealed in the bag and played with it in front of everyone.

The other people at the venue didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and they all thought it was a normal thing.

Only Lawrence, who was holding the sealed artifact, felt that his current behavior was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

Then Elliot felt that he had not prayed to the "Creator" for a long time, which seemed very impious, so he said goodbye to everyone and returned to his room to pray to the "Creator" that he had something important to report.

After praying once, the "Creator" did not reply in time, and then Elliot prayed a second time.

…

On the "Iron Throne", Hobert looked at the pile of gold and gold in front of him, and his mood gradually became better.

At this time, he saw again that the star representing Elliot lit up.

Spreading his spirituality, Hobert almost jumped up from the "Iron Throne". Elliot was lowering his head and praying devoutly, and beside him stood a simple and gentle man wearing a simple white robe with a left A priest with a light blond beard and a cross pendant on his chest.

"Adam!"

Although Hobert has never seen Adam before, he is sure that this is Adam!

Hobert's first thought was to pack up his belongings and run away! The "creator" is no longer the job, and the baron is no longer working. He will find a place to hibernate for two years.

But soon, he sat down slowly and calmed down quickly: When I decided to help the Balk family fight that battle, wasn't I already prepared to meet such a high-level person?

Then he realized: This is the influence of the original work on me. I always feel that Adam and Amon are weird and scary. But the premise is that only if they are on the same path or adjacent to Adam and Amon, these two enemies will be scary! I don’t have the most direct conflict of interest with them, so what are I afraid of!

Thinking of this, Hobert quickly calmed down: The only conflict between me and Adam now may be that in his opinion, I am suspected of preventing George III from becoming the Black Emperor, or blocking the "torrent of the times" created by Adam, but these two things There's nothing I can do to stop it.

Hobert nodded: In fact, what Adam mainly cares about is whether the "creator" who suddenly appears will block the "torrent of the times" he created? As for whether George III became a god, he didn't take it too seriously. As long as the incident of George III preparing to become the Black Emperor caused an all-out war between the Loen Kingdom and the Fusac Empire, and the entire northern and southern continents entered a state of war, Adam would not care whether George III became a god or not.

With the main contradiction clarified, Hobert began to think about how to deal with Adam who suddenly came to kill him: First of all, one thing is certain, if he talks to Adam in a short time, Adam will not be able to harm himself in the "State of Disorder".

This is certain, after all, the status of the "Land of Disorder" is here, and Adam is now only at the "King of Angels" level.

Of course, it would be difficult to talk to the other party Luo Li for hours.

Then, we must quickly clarify the source of the conflict between the two parties and show that we do not pose a threat to the other party.

Hobert sighed, not wanting to appear too cowardly, otherwise he would be at a psychological disadvantage if he dealt with Adam again in the future.

After thinking for a moment, Hobert cast his image into the stars belonging to Elliot: "Adam!"

…

In the Southern Continent, in a luxurious villa on the outskirts of Crolier City.

Adam saw the image of the "Creator", and the black divine light emanating from Him blocked Adam's sight and perception.

But Adam still got some information based on some details: He is still very weak, and now he can only use a certain sealed artifact to occasionally exert his god-like strength. "A country of disorder"? Probably not. It was a huge source of pollution, and even Trunsoest could not resist its pollution. Or was it that the "creator" was Trunsoest?

Just listen to the "creator" say in a solemn tone: "Adam!"

Adam was not surprised at all that the other party knew him.

As soon as the "creator" spoke, Adam saw or felt more information: "You are a descendant of Trunsoest!"

The phrase "fuck you" from "creator" almost blurted out: How the hell did you see that?

Thanks to [Yuanlidou] for the reward.
