Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Hobert smiled and said: "This question is very complicated and is not within the scope of this answer. Well, to be precise, I cannot answer this question until the situation becomes clear."

He said to himself: The goddess of the night is hovering above my head now. If I ruin her good deeds, I believe there will be no "Mr. Emperor" in the world.

Derrick nodded with some disappointment: "Okay then."

Both Klein and Alger realized that the "Emperor's" answer meant that there was a huge hidden secret in it.

Emlyn: Is it true or not? What does it mean that it is no longer within the scope of this answer? We all spent money.

Thinking of this, he felt somewhat guilty, because his "auditing seat" was paid by Ms. Justice, and of course he also understood that this answer was beyond the value of 3,000 pounds.

Hobert continued: "The 'Elf King' is the true god of the 'Sailor' pathway. Oh, by the way, here, by the way, as mentioned before, there is a high probability that the ancient god has extraordinary properties from other pathways in his body.

“But it’s impossible to verify the specific path, so we can only talk about his ‘true god’s path’.”

Hobert paused for a moment and then continued: "The gods of the 'Elven King' are the 'Queen of Disaster' Coshnam and the 'God of Luck'."

Alger said: "Sorry everyone, I need to ask another question."

In the last transaction, Audrey, who paid the most money, could ask any questions she wanted, but for the sake of fairness, others could only ask one question.

Although this was not stated in advance this time, everyone felt that it was more fair to stick to the previous practice.

"Little Sun" Derrick said: "Mr. Hanged Man, I can give you my opportunity to ask questions."

Although he asked a question just now, he did not get an answer, so the opportunity to ask the question was not used up.

Alger was not polite: "Thank you."

After all, he had given Derrick a lot of guidance before, but now it was like using up those favors.

Alger asked the "Emperor": "As far as I know, a very small number of aboriginal people on the island still believe in the 'Queen of Natural Disasters'. Does the 'Queen of Natural Disasters' still... still exist?"

Hobert replied: "As far as I know, he also fell after the fall of the 'Elf King'. However, his extraordinary characteristics seem to have been retained in a more special way and have not been completely used again. So her will has been preserved to a certain extent within a small area."

Alger opened his mouth: What a strange state!

Klein, who was behind the gray mist, couldn't help but think: I didn't expect that the Ancient Gods and Ancestral Gods of the Second Age would still have an influence on the present.

Hobert continued: "Lilith, the 'ancestor of the blood race', is the true god of the 'moon' pathway. Among the gods are the 'god of beauty' Ornia and the goddess of life."

Emlyn sighed: "His Majesty Olnia has indeed been following the ancestors since the Second Age!"

Hobert smiled and continued: "And the information I gave to Mr. Moon is that there were some problems with Lilith's condition before her 'fall'. In addition, it is said that her fall was due to a betrayal!"

Emlyn stood up suddenly: "Who is it? Who betrayed the ancestor!"

Hobert said in his heart: It seems that Emlyn does not have the authority to know these things at his level.

It stands to reason that the vampires should know some of the inside story of this matter. After all, the "God of Beauty" only fell in the Fourth Age, and there are enough opportunities to tell the tribe some secrets about the "fall" of their ancestor.

Hobert smiled at the angry Emlyn and said, "This answer is worth 3,000 pounds."

This information is free, but you will need to pay for the explanation.

Emling immediately calmed down a lot: "3...3,000 pounds! Then, when I collect enough money, I will make a transaction with you as soon as possible."

Hobert smiled and said, "No problem."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, feeling impressed that the "Emperor" knew so much, and also feeling impressed by his high-end or secret information.

Even if Hobert didn't elaborate on this piece of information, everyone couldn't help but make many associations.

Klein leaned back in his chair and thought: It seems that there are many secrets among the ancient gods of the Second Age. These secrets may be the key to uncovering some historical questions.

Alger hugged his arms: The more information he gets from the "Emperor", the more and more people feel that the history of the gods is the history of an era! Whenever this happens, people can't help but feel that human power is so insignificant!

Audrey: I really want to know the answer, but I can only wait a moment because this is a question Hobert prepared for Mr. Moon.

After the hall was quiet for a few seconds, Emlyn seemed to suddenly come back to his senses: "That's not right, the ancestor clearly did not die. Some adults of the Vampire Clan can occasionally receive instructions from the ancestor!"

He thought to himself: Isn't it because I came to participate in the Tarot Club because I received instructions from my ancestor?

"This question is also included in the 3,000 pounds." Hobert smiled: "But I can only give you a simple answer and cannot explain it to you in detail."

Emlyn nodded, which meant that the ancestor did not die!

"Let us continue." Hobert continued: "The 'Dragon of Dreams' is the true god of the 'Dreamer' pathway, that is, the 'Audience' pathway. In addition, there are extraordinary characteristics of other pathways in his body, but the specific pathway has not been revealed yet." There is no way to verify it.

“His followers include the ‘Dragon of Nightmares’ Asulehod and the ‘Dragon of Wisdom’ Herabogen.

"According to some of our previous transactions, we know that '0-08' was formed after the fall of Asulehod. And we just said last week that the 'Dragon of Wisdom' is now the God of Knowledge and Wisdom."

Only Emlyn was a little surprised: This is already the second god to appear! Could it be that the current seven gods were once the followers of the ancient gods?

Because of "0-08", everyone is relatively familiar with "Dragon of Fantasy", so they did not stop here. Hobert continued: "The ancestor of 'Phoenix' is the true god of the 'Death' pathway. , and at the same time, the body also has the extraordinary characteristics of certain 'door' pathways."

Audrey asked: "Mr. Emperor, it seems that these two paths are not adjacent paths!"

"Well, it's not the adjacent route."

Everyone has the same idea: No wonder the ancient gods are crazy. It turns out that they have two non-adjacent extraordinary characteristics in their bodies. The "Emperor" is right, becoming a god in the second era depends entirely on luck!

In fact, everyone had expected this just now, but now there is direct evidence to prove the previous conjecture.

“The ‘Alien King’ is the true god of the ‘Prisoner’ pathway,” Hobert said: “We mentioned not long ago that the members of the ‘Rose School’ are mainly the Extraordinaries of this pathway.

"His subordinate gods include the 'God of Spiritual Things' Torzna and the God of War."

Torzner is a somewhat "eccentric" "god" that no one has heard of, so Hobert did not give any further explanation.

"The 'Destruction Demonic Wolf' is the true god of the 'Sleepless One' path. At the same time, he also has extraordinary characteristics at the level of the King of Angels of the 'Soothsayer' path." Hobert said:

“His subordinate gods include ‘Goddess of Doom’ Amanissis, ‘God of the Dead’ Salinger and ‘God of Wishes’ Kotal.”

Even Klein, who has been a Nighthawk, currently does not know the true name of the Night Goddess.

His attention was attracted by another name, so he used "World" to ask: "Salinger? Is he the later 'Emperor of Hades'?"

Klein had seen some descriptions of the "Pluto Emperor" in a previous diary, including his real name.

Hobert smiled and said, "Yes!"

He said to himself: You don’t even know what you just missed.

Everyone was no longer as surprised as before. After all, this was not the first slave god to ascend to the throne of god.

Finally, Hobert said: "'Devil King' Fabuti is the true god of the 'criminal' pathway. Members in Backlund should still remember that the murderer of the 'serial murder case' that caused a lot of fuss before was from this pathway. Extraordinary.”

Except for Emlyn, who just joined, everyone was deeply impressed by this matter.

A certain Mr. Fool sitting at the top also investigated the "Apostle of Desire" and finally performed a last-ditch attack.

Everyone was thinking about the answer just now, and no one spoke for a while.

Audrey thought about it and said in her heart: This is the atmosphere that a Tarot Club should have!

After more than ten seconds, the free communication session resumed. Klein controlled "The World" and said, "I heard about an incident at sea, related to the Church of Storms."

Alger frowned: Is it related to the church? Why didn't I receive the notification?

Klein was a little disappointed. He originally thought he could learn from the Hanged Man how the incident in Bansi Port was handled, but judging from the reaction of the Hanged Man, he didn't know about it.

However, Klein still controlled the "world" and continued to describe: "The ancient customs of Bansi Port have revived, some residents have become cultists, and even the bishop of the Church of Storms has fallen.

"I heard the matter has been resolved, but a lot of people died."

Alger recalled the situation in Bansi Port and took the initiative to explain to everyone: "There is a tradition of living sacrifices there, and the target of the sacrifices is an evil spirit called the 'God of Weather'.

"Overseas, in the Southern Continent, there are many similar evil spirits. On the surface, they seem to have been eliminated, but in fact they are still living in a strange state."

"This reminds me of a King of Angels." Hobert suddenly realized that Klein had not met Medici in Backlund and did not know the relevant information. He felt that he should give Alger a warning.

Audrey asked curiously: "Mr. Emperor, what does this have to do with the King of Angels?"

Other members also had similar problems, except Emlyn. He remembered that at the last party, other members traded information about the King of Angels.

This made Emlyn inexplicably excited, and he found another reason why his ancestor asked him to pray to Mr. Fool: Sure enough, this is a savior gathering prepared for the end of the world. We are all the chosen ones and will gradually face the "King of Angels" , "Original Witch", "True Creator" and other evil existences.

This made Emlyn suddenly have the urge to initiate a transaction with the "Emperor" and obtain relevant information about the King of Angels, but the fact that he had no money ruthlessly shattered the fantasy in his mind.

Hobert replied: "I remember that there was a descendant of the King of Angels who lived in Binsi, which is now Bansi Port, and that King of Angels was the 'Red Angel' May that we mentioned at the last party. Dickey.”

Klein was stunned: It turns out that there are still descendants of the Medici family, but they are probably relatively weak and can only hide in such a small port.

Alger didn't expect that this incident would actually lead to a King of Angels, and he was already thinking about how to report the news to the church.

While accumulating merit for yourself, it can also make the Church of Storms more vigilant.

"Everyone, I have a question." Emlyn said: "The thing is like this. Suppose that a strong man arranges for you to investigate something. Although you successfully obtained the information, due to some reasons, you cannot Report to that strong person, so how do you continue to get support from that strong person?”

Other members, including Hobert, all turned their attention to Alger. In their minds, Mr. Hanged Man had rich experience in this area.

Alger glanced at "Moon": "It's very simple, but you have to accept certain risks."

Emlyn subconsciously denied it: "It's not me!"

"Suppose it's you!" The Hanged Man responded with a smile: "You can slowly show certain abnormalities in your daily life to make that strong person aware of your problem.

"He will have two choices. One is to torture you directly, but this will easily break the clues.

“The second is to inadvertently provide you with help, allowing you to investigate more deeply, and then send someone to monitor you.

"I think the second possibility is the biggest. The risk you need to take is how to avoid exposing the information you want to hide under surveillance."

Can it still be like this? Then Emlyn realized that he no longer needed to show any abnormality. The deal he mentioned to the vampires with the "Creator"'s Favorite was a relatively abnormal move.

Because in the vampire's impression, the sphere of influence of the "Creator" should be in the Southern Continent, but Emlyn, who usually doesn't go out much, "met" the favored one of the "Creator" in Backlund, and he was very precise. The connection is made, and it sounds incredible.

Emlyn finally understood: No wonder Lord Nibais seemed to be very interested in the transaction, but he still discussed it for several days before finally finalizing the transaction. It turned out that they were not worried about the favored ones of the "creator", but I have concerns.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to "The Hanged Man": "Thank you for your suggestion."

Alger smiled slightly and said it was nothing.

Then, Audrey started another topic: "I heard the news this morning that a large-scale conflict between Beyonders just occurred in Connacht City.

"One of the parties, using the fishing company as a cover, suffered huge losses. It is said that more than twenty extraordinary people died.

"Some people described it as a rare tragedy in the extraordinary world."

She got the news from her father. Since the last Backlund smog incident, Earl Hall had asked Audrey to participate in meetings with the Archbishop every three days.

In addition to praying and preaching, the archbishop will also routinely inform important believers like Earl Hall of some extraordinary cases encountered by some churches and some information that can be disclosed to a small scale, in order to increase important believers' understanding of extraordinary cases. , there is also a reference for self-help when encountering similar incidents.

The Punisher was linked to the case that occurred in Connacht City and the previous case that occurred at the Backlund Nicro Shipyard, so he contacted the "Nighthawks" to form a joint investigation team.

The details of the tragedy that happened in Connacht City were only known to the "Nighthawks".

The punishment agent did this not because he found clues about Hobert, but because the two cases were very similar: many people died!

In ordinary cases of extraordinary persons, only one or two people die, or at most a few people die.

However, in these two cases, one or twenty people died, which is obviously different from other cases.

This is actually because when other Sequence 5 level conflicts occur, they are usually of equal strength, and many times it is just a fight, with no one killed.

If there is a huge disparity in strength, the stronger side will focus on harvesting the enemy's "mid-sequence" Extraordinaries and ignore the enemy's "low-sequence" ones, or it may maintain its own identity and be too lazy to fight those "low-sequence" ones.

Therefore, when similar conflicts generally occur, "low-sequence" people also have a high probability of escaping.

But Hobert doesn't think so. In his eyes, those are just 300 pounds going back and forth, or "300+600" pounds going back and forth. If the goods that are always thrifty cannot be harvested, they will try to harvest as much as possible, so that's why So many people died.

Alger guessed: "It may be a conflict between Beyonder organizations."

Forsi suddenly said weakly: "Well, I seem to know something about the situation."

Everyone was stunned. Just now, Alger and Audrey had doubted whether it was related to the "World" or the "Emperor", but they never expected that it would be related to the "Magician" who rarely spoke.

Audrey said: "Miss Magician, if you have detailed information, can you tell us about it?"

Fors confirmed: "Did the case you mentioned happen at Balan Fishery Company?"

Audrey nodded: "That's right."

"Then we are talking about the same thing." Forsi said: "That was an action between me and two companions."

Everyone was a little surprised again, and Hobert was also surprised.

Klein: I’ve seen the disguised magician lady on the pier before. Her temperament doesn’t look like someone who likes to fight and kill!

Emlyn couldn't believe it: Miss Magician seemed to be a quiet little girl, but she didn't expect that she could cause a tragedy with just one move.

Audrey also couldn't believe it: I didn't expect Forsi to do such a thing! I wonder if the two companions she mentioned include Xio?

Forsi realized that everyone seemed to have misunderstood something, and quickly explained: "The people who were killed were all members of the 'Judgment Group'. They are an extraordinary organization supported by the Kingdom of Feneport and dedicated to wreaking havoc in the Kingdom of Loen!"

Before taking action, Hobert explained the immoral things done by the "Judgment Team" in order to relieve Forsi from the psychological burden.

"The 'Spiritual Cultivation Society' that appeared in the south of Loen before was planned and organized by the 'Judgment Group'. This cult not only sacrificed people, but also sacrificed babies!" Fors said:

“And this is just a conspiracy planned by a deputy leader of the ‘Trial Team’. Many heinous cases in the Kingdom of Loen were planned by them.

“They also forced wild Extraordinaries to join them, otherwise they would turn those Extraordinaries into Extraordinary characteristics!

"In this operation, all we killed were Extraordinaries from the Judgment Group. At most, we killed a few villains who had helped them. We did not kill anyone outside the Judgment Group!"

Audrey also shared some of the same hatred: "These people really deserve to be killed!"

Alger's concern was not here: "How did the three of you kill more than twenty extraordinary people?"

Even three "mid-sequence" Extraordinaries would not be able to kill more than twenty "low-sequence" Extraordinaries. Those people are Extraordinaries and not stones. Wouldn't they be able to run away?

Forsi explained: "One of my companions has a very powerful and strange sealed object."

Alger nodded, which sounded reasonable: "Is your companion a Sequence 6 or Sequence 5?"

"Yes, it's Sequence 5!"

This is more reasonable. Alger smiled and said, "Then the enemies must be all 'low-sequence' Beyonders!"

"That's not true." Forsi said: "The other party also has a Sequence 5."

Alger thought he heard it wrong: "In other words, there is a Sequence 5 on each side?"

"Yes."

Several male members with rich extraordinary combat experience found it a bit incredible. "The World" asked in a hoarse voice: "Both of your companions are Sequence 5?"

Foer thought for a while and felt that just saying the sequence number would not reveal too much information: "One is Sequence 5 and the other is Sequence 7."

"The World" then asked: "What about the enemy?"

Forsi said with some pride: "There seem to be four or five 'middle-sequence' ones, and the others are all 'low-sequence' ones."

Alger immediately made a judgment: Miss Magician’s companion should possess a level 1 sealed object, otherwise there would be no such results.

Klein also had similar thoughts and thought that the trophies of this battle could be sold for a lot of money just because of their extraordinary characteristics.

Emlyn was stunned for a few seconds before he thought: Is this a lie? Three people won the fight without any advantage and killed so many people?

At this time, Audrey was already a little strange: "Why don't the official Beyonders eliminate the 'Judgment Group'?"

Alger said: "Generally, it is difficult to completely eradicate such a local Beyonder organization. It is very likely that they were discovered by the official Beyonder investigation as soon as it started, and they immediately transferred it, and in the end only some peripheral members were captured. "

Forsi also said: "My companion also said that surprise and luck accounted for at least half of the success we achieved this time.

"Originally, he thought he could kill at most one key member of the 'Judgment Team', but they reacted quickly."

Who would have known that Gale and the others were having a meeting at that time!

Audrey frowned and said, "Is there no other way?"

"Yes!" Alger said with a smile: "Deploy demigods and blockade the whole city. The siege force should be at least twice that of the opponent. This way we can effectively prevent them from running apart when chasing."

Everyone laughed together. Just the step of "dispatching demigods" is difficult. After all, there are only so many official extraordinary demigods. They also have many more important things, such as intimidating the enemy's demigods, or sitting in a certain place. .

After discussing this issue for a few more words, Klein announced that the gathering was over.

…

In the middle of the violent sea, on the "White Onyx".

After performing the sacrifice and granting ceremony, Klein got up from the bed and saw the sky outside the window was gloomy, as if a storm was brewing.

With a dull whistle, the ship finally docked.

Klein pushed open the bedroom door and found that Daniz had thoughtfully packed his luggage in advance.

Daniz smiled: "We finally arrived at the 'City of Generosity'."

He has been in fear since setting off from Bansi Port, and now he is finally free.

Klein, no, it was Gehrman Sparrow who said, "You can tell me about the pirate contact points in Bayam."

Daniz's expression suddenly became distorted: Shit...
