Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Before seeing the name Hobert, Ethel had always imagined that the loved ones of the "Creator" would have needs for property or power, or for extraordinary materials.

Of course she didn't expect that Hobert would make such a request!

When Hobert made the request, the positions of the two parties were different. Although Ethel was still smiling, the words coming out of her mouth were already a bit aggressive: "As a baron, shouldn't I salute the princess? "

"Should." Hobert pointed to his mask and said, "But that's when he's not wearing this mask.

"And with this mask on, you should salute me!"

Ethel asked, "What does this mask represent?"

"The one favored by God!"

Ethel asked again: "I heard that in the southern continent, the great 'founder' has many favored ones?"

"At your level, I cannot reveal this information to you."

"At what level do I have to know this information?"

Hobert smiled: "Have you ever fought for the Creator?"

Ethel shook her head, but the "creator" saved her life.

Hobert's aura gradually overwhelmed Ethel again: "Do you know how to please the 'creator'?"

Ethel shook her head again helplessly.

"You don't have to help, I have other alternatives." Hobert said seriously: "But if you are still not willing to help me next time I come to you, I will not come to you again. .”

Ethel fell into deep thought for a short time. For her, the "Creator" did not currently reflect the evil side of the evil god. In her heart, she was still willing to maintain a good relationship with the "Creator".

"Okay, I will go to your wedding!" Ethel thought again. Helping the "god's favored one" in front of her is equivalent to establishing a relationship with the "creator" favored ones. In the future, this may be something she hides in A boost from the dark.

And if you refuse, you are not only refusing the opportunity to establish contact with this "god's favored one", but you are also refusing to repay the life-saving grace owed to the "creator".

Hobert smiled and said, "I'm waiting for you in the territory."

Ethel quickly asked: "How can I become the favored one of the 'Creator'?"

"Believe in Him devoutly and be ready to sacrifice your heart for Him." Hobert finished the sentence and left with "Travel".

Give your heart?

Ethel didn't know if this was a metaphor.

She glanced at the invitation again and smiled unconsciously: "He is actually the favored one of the 'Creator'. It's interesting."

…

Jeffrey collar.

Hobert encountered a new problem. The villa was built, but there was not enough time for decoration.

Nowadays, most Feneport families have already abandoned the complicated classical decoration style and instead formed a bright and simple modern decoration style.

However, the villas for nobles are still mainly decorated in classical style. These villas are designed for nobles, and of course they must be decorated according to the needs of nobles.

This meant a lot of carvings and frescoes, both of which were scarce enough workers to complete the meticulous decoration.

Hobert thought about it and decided to be bold. All five villas would be decorated in the "Ming style" style!

During his work in the AD era, he came into contact with some Ming-style furniture, all of which were famous for their simplicity and grandeur. Relatively speaking, the patterns of Qing-style furniture are complicated, but they are far less dignified and elegant than Ming-style decoration and furniture.

Hobert was determined to do this, firstly because of the emergency use of Ming-style furniture and decoration, and secondly because Hobert was ready to try to establish his own unique aesthetic style.

Even if he has time in the future, he does not plan to change the decoration of these five villas. He will only build new villas with Fenebaud style decoration and let the nobles choose between the two.

At the same time, Hobert also plans to adopt some Chinese decoration styles in other hotels and apartments to gradually establish the unique aesthetic and decorative characteristics of Jeffrey Land.

However, as the only person in Jeffrey's territory who had seen Ming-style decoration, Hobert had to stay at the construction site almost every day. For this reason, he learned to draw carpentry drawings and decoration design drawings.

…

Raging Sea, Bayam.

The bad weather caused by the confrontation between "Poseidon" and "Sea King" has lasted for several days, and Klein was also trapped in Bayam for several days.

While sleeping until midnight, Klein suddenly woke up and vaguely noticed something.

He got out of bed, went to the window, and opened the curtains.

The crimson moonlight suddenly shone in, covering everything like a layer of light-colored dye.

Those low-pressure clouds that have lasted for several days and caused great pressure have disappeared. Does this mean that the confrontation between "Poseidon" and "Poseidon" is over?

Klein pondered for two seconds, closed the curtains, walked four steps backward, and entered above the gray fog.

He sat at the top of the long bronze table, manifested a coin, and whispered the divination words: "Kavituva is completely dead."

"..."

After seven times, he bounced the coin and watched it jump, tumble, and fall again.

Pa~

The coin landed in Klein's palm, with the king's head facing up.

This means yes!

"Poseidon" Kavitua is almost completely dead!

Klein recalled his previous speculation: "Sure enough, the ancient elven ruins on Simim Island (where the Book of Disasters was discovered) are closely related to the hideout maintained by Kavitua!"

Then he recalled that in a previous Tarot meeting, the "Emperor" guessed about Kavitua.

Based on Klein's risky sacrifice to Kavitua yesterday and what he learned about him in the past few days, Klein increasingly felt that the "Emperor's" guess was very accurate.

Kavitua is a Sequence 3, and a Sequence 3 in very bad condition. Strictly speaking, he cannot be called a "god".

Suddenly, Klein realized that Kavitua was dead, and the military and the people from the Church of Storms had not found his location yet!

Klein has two ways to find Kavitua. One is to divine the iron cigarette box that was sacrificed to him, and the other is to ask the "Hanged Man" for Kavitua's location. At worst, he will ask "The Hanged Man" for the location of Kavitua. The Hanged Man” pays some intelligence fees!

How could you miss such an opportunity?

Klein divined again: "The official Beyonder has found Kavitua's hiding place."

"..."

After chanting seven times, he bounced the coin, but the coin fell right between his fingers and stood in Klein's hand.

This means that the divination failed.

Klein guessed that maybe he knew too little about the relevant conditions, or that the official Beyonders had relevant anti-divination abilities and sealed objects.

After thinking about it, Klein materialized a citrine pendant and changed his mind: "It is dangerous to explore Kavitua's hideout now!"

"..."

This involved himself, and the divination soon yielded a result: the citrine pendant rotated counterclockwise, not too fast and not too large.

There is danger, you can bear it!

Klein immediately took action. He left the space above the gray mist, arranged the ritual, and summoned himself.

Then returning to the gray fog, Klein picked up the "Death" card and put it into his spirit body.

Suddenly, Klein's spirit body became solid, and his whole body exuded a pale white light, as if he was death itself and the end of all life.

Wearing the "Crawling Hunger" gloves, he also put Azik copper whistle, biotoxin bottle and other magical items into his body.

Finally, he picked up the black hardwood cane and used it to find the "lost" iron cigarette box that was stained with gray fog.

Klein responded to his summons and stepped out of the "Summoning Door" in one step. Because he was now in a spiritual state, he easily entered the spiritual world.

He straightened his cane and said in a voice full of death: "The location of my unique iron cigarette box."

"..."

After seven times, Klein released his palm and waited for the revelation.

The black hardwood cane floated slowly in one direction. Klein held the cane and completed the process of traveling through the spirit world just by standing there.

Klein's spiritual consciousness realized that in the surrounding space, there were pairs of indifferent eyes looking at him.

This may be related to the "Death" card. Although it can make the spirit body very powerful, it will also attract some attention in the spirit world.

Klein looked down at his cane, not daring to meet the eyes of those around him.

Fortunately, it's not too far from the "temple" of Kavituwa, so the journey ends quickly.

Klein fell into the ruins of the collapsed building with implicit expectation. Just as described in "The Hanged Man", this ruins is on the seabed, surrounded by shimmering corals.

Among the corals, there was a half-collapsed ruins, and Klein appeared directly in the ruins' main hall.

He saw a huge pillar in front of him, engraved with strange patterns and symbols, stretching out from the center to support the nearby buildings.

At this moment, an unwilling and painful scream echoed in the hall for a long time. This sound echoed back and forth without any weakening trend.

This was the roar full of resentment that Kavitua made before his death.

But Kavituwa's body was not in the main hall. There were many followers of the "Poseidon" with their faces and bodies shriveled and turned into gray and black.

Kavitua's death took away most of the water in their bodies, and while they were half alive and half dead, these believers went completely crazy, almost like living corpses.

Facing the rushing believers, Klein was about to wave his cane to attack, but suddenly he seemed to have thought of something and injected spirituality into the "Death" card.

The pale white light around Klein seemed to suddenly become more dynamic. The aura of death and extreme fear dispersed. The believers who were already in a half-dead state suddenly stopped. Their eyes, filled with numbness, madness or confusion, suddenly changed. Feeling fear and awe, he slowly knelt down in front of Klein.

Klein breathed a sigh of relief. He had discovered before that the "Death" card was better at restraining undead or undead-like creatures than Azik's Bronze Whistle.

Especially this kind of "Poseidon believers" who have lost their wisdom, basically just kneel down.

If you inject spiritual power into the "Death" card in front of an Extraordinary who is on the "Death" path, it will also create a huge sense of oppression for the opponent. At least the Extraordinary who is below half a god will be in a very bad state, and sometimes even out of fear. , forgetting to avoid the enemy's attack.

Klein easily passed these believers and entered a collapsed side hall.

The first thing that caught the eye was an unimaginably huge blue sea snake. Its whole body had smooth scales and was covered with patterns similar to the various symbols inside the ruins.

Although Klein had already confirmed through the sacrifice to the "Poseidon" that the "Emperor"'s guess was correct, after seeing the "evidence" in front of him, he still couldn't help but sigh at the "Emperor's" erudition. At that time, he just listened After reading the description of "The Hanged Man", he was able to guess that Kavituwa was a sea monster.

At this time, the huge sea snake opened its huge mouth and bit a stone pillar. The body below its head hung to the ground, entwining itself and occupying one third of the hall, like an undulating green-blue hill.

A mysterious cyan light has already emitted from its body, slowly converging towards a tooth that is longer than a human arm.

At this time, an old man wearing a clergyman's soft hat lay beside Kavitua's body.

He is eating the flesh and blood of "Poseidon" Kavitua.

Several priests have already "stuffed themselves to death" due to eating too much "Poseidon" flesh and blood. Kavitua's extraordinary characteristics have not yet been fully released. His flesh and blood contains a considerable amount of extraordinary characteristics.

This caused these clergymen to collapse on the spot and die completely, either due to an overdose of "magic potion" or due to the conflict of extraordinary characteristics of different pathways.

The only remaining priest seemed to realize something. He raised his head and looked at Klein, the uninvited guest, with his eyes shining with blue light.

Klein did not hesitate and immediately threw out the "Biological Toxin Bottle", and then the "Creeping Hunger" turned golden yellow and shined with intense sunlight: "Purification Halo!"

The blue light in the priest's eyes also became richer and purer. He had also grown a lot taller because he had eaten too much flesh and blood.

Woo~

An ethereal but shrill voice came out of his body, covering the entire ruins in an instant.

The priest's body instantly swelled, like a resurrected Kavituva. Under his robes came out a series of smooth blue tentacles. The tentacles were surrounded by a layer of white lightning, waving around at extremely fast speeds.

Klein struggled to avoid it, but was hit by the tentacle and fell away.

Before he could stand up, tentacles rushed over again. Fortunately, Klein was in a spiritual state at this time, so he quickly flew up to avoid it. At the same time, a brilliant beam of light fell from the sky and hit the old priest directly.

The high temperature of the "sacred light" caused the Poseidon Priest's robe to burn, and the gray-black skin and flesh melted away a lot in the pure light.

When the robe disappeared, Klein discovered that there was a face in the belly of the Poseidon Priest, trying to get out.

Soon the Poseidon Priest's tentacles resumed their rapid waving state, but a hand suddenly stretched out from behind him, grabbed one of the tentacles, and put it into a mouth that had been severely deformed, and the teeth were covered with threads of flesh. .

That was another priest who died next to Kavituva just now. Although the "Death" card did not provide Klein with any "Death" ability, he had keenly discovered before that the "Death" card could create a It is easier to create an environment of "living corpses".

Klein had no way to control these living corpses and could only let them attack indiscriminately.

However, at this time, Klein was in a spiritual state without any flesh and blood. Of course, the living corpse would not bite him.

So ever since he realized that the Poseidon Priest was not in the right state and would be his enemy, Klein had been creating an environment where "living corpses" could easily form.

Now, the corpses of three priests sat up from the ground. Their death process just now was similar to the process of losing control. At this time, they had basically turned into monsters and rushed towards the Poseidon Priest with their teeth and claws.

After the hand grabbed one of the tentacles just now, another mouth came over and bit another tentacle of the Poseidon Priest.

The lightning released by these tentacles did not have any effect, because the extraordinary characteristics of these living corpses had not yet been completely separated. They were all extraordinary people of the "sailor" path during their lifetime, and they had a certain resistance to lightning.

The Poseidon priests were fighting with the living corpses. They rolled and hit the ruins, shaking the entire ruins.

But none of them could do anything to the other. The Poseidon Priest could not be beaten or electrocuted by these living corpses. These living corpses could only bite the Poseidon Priest and could not inflict serious damage on him for a while.

Klein took advantage of this opportunity and flew towards the snake fang that had absorbed all the extraordinary characteristics.

As the extraordinary characteristics condensed, the snake fang gradually straightened and turned into a short white staff. The top of the short staff was inlaid with tiny blue "jewels", some of which were green and blue with a faint glow. black.

Before he actually touched the scepter, Klein remembered the layers of prayers in his ears, and he seemed to have hallucinations in front of his eyes, seeing believers worshiping and praying one after another.

This made Klein quickly take a few steps back. He used his staff to divine and received the revelation that he could hold a staff in his current state, but it could only last for a few seconds.

So Klein in his spiritual state rushed forward and tried to pull out the scepter.

At this time, the battle between the Poseidon Priest and the living zombies on the other side changed. The Poseidon Priest's belly was torn open, forming a huge mouth full of fangs and containing blue pus.

The huge mouth let out a roar, and for a moment the surrounding area seemed to be filled with sea water, and a terrifying vortex formed at the huge mouth, exerting a huge suction force on everything around it.

The three living corpses were pulled off the ground by the suction force, but they were still holding on to the tentacles and still biting hard.

Wow!

The water in the surrounding sea suddenly became turbulent. Klein on the other side pulled the scepter from the stone pillar with force. The layered prayers penetrated his ears again, causing him to immediately feel strong throbbing pain and dizziness. .

Klein looked at the Poseidon Priest and the three living corpses. Suddenly, the entire hall was filled with clouds and thunderstorms.

Click~

A huge silver-white thunder struck the Poseidon Priest. This was different from the filamentous silver lightning on the Poseidon Priest's tentacles, but a giant lightning that could cover the Poseidon Priest and the three living corpses!

The terrifying whirlpool disappeared, and the surface of the three living corpses burned into charcoal, and they fell straight down.

Click~

Another silver lightning struck the Poseidon Priest, and the huge mouth in his abdomen was directly charred, and the Poseidon Priest's head was burned into a small ring.

He raised his face, which had only a few hollows left, and "looked" at Klein in mid-air with his two hollow eye sockets, and finally fell to the ground.

Klein, whose spirit was about to reach its limit, let go of the scepter and let it fall to the ground.

After floating in the air and recovering for more than half a minute, the throbbing pain and dizziness in Klein's head gradually disappeared, and the crazy feeling in his mind finally receded.

After another minute or two of recovery, Klein dragged his tired spirit body to search the battlefield, and first recovered the "biological toxin bottle", a sealed object that matched the spirit body's state very well.

It's just that this time the "Death" card played a huge role, and the battle was over before the effect of the "Biotoxin Bottle" was apparent.

Then, following spiritual guidance, Klein found the iron cigarette box he had sacrificed next to Kavitua's body.

Just as he was about to leave with the scepter, Klein felt something spiritual and came to the body of the Poseidon Priest. The corpse's charred abdomen moved around, as if it was alive and about to break out of the shell.

Klein used his cane to push open the charcoal abdominal muscles of the Poseidon Priest, and saw that the Poseidon Priest's stomach was still basically intact, and the stomach pouch formed the face of a sea snake as it squirmed!

It seems that I can still hear Kavitua's roar in my ears.

This... this turned out to be Kavitua's spiritual remnant. The power of the demigod's will was far beyond Klein's imagination.

Klein used his cane to dig out the Poseidon Priest's stomach bag, then found a rag to wrap it up, preparing to take it back to the gray mist for study.

At this time, Klein noticed that the three living corpses next to him had already developed extraordinary characteristics after being baptized by lightning.

It's just that these extraordinary characteristics have a cyan-blue light, and should be integrated with more than one extraordinary characteristic. This extraordinary characteristic should be out of control after taking it. It is not so much an extraordinary characteristic, but a sealed object with great negative effects.

Klein thought that the "Emperor" had a way to remove the spiritual residue from extraordinary characteristics, and he might acquire this extraordinary characteristic.

So Klein used another piece of rag to wrap the three Extraordinary Characteristics, carried two cloth bags, and came to the white scepter again.

Klein took a deep breath and rushed over. After holding the scepter, he immediately ended the summoning state.

Wow~

Without the support of the scepter, seawater poured into the ruins, submerging it under the sea.

…

Above the gray fog.

After finishing his own summons, Klein used the person of the gray mist to divine the abilities and negative effects of the scepter in his hand, and named it "Poseidon Scepter".

Klein, who was sitting at the head of the long table, said to himself: In the future, when the "Emperor" blasphemes again, he can finally give him a lightning strike. It's just that the "Emperor" currently likes to hear the blasphemous remarks of the "Fool". Punishments such as lightning can be written down in a small notebook first and discussed later.

Then Klein looked at the stomach bag and Sanfen, whose extraordinary characteristics were not normal at first sight, and left above the gray mist. The negative effects of these four things were frighteningly high, making them useless.

Klein thought for a while, and the stomach bag could also try to sell it to the "Emperor". He was knowledgeable and might be able to find a corresponding use.

After doing all this, Klein returned to the real world and went back to sleep.

The next morning, before Klein got up, he suddenly felt something and turned on his spiritual vision.

A heavy coffin appeared in his bedroom. A red invitation floated out of the coffin and fell into Klein's hand. The coffin immediately disappeared.

Klein was stunned for a moment before he realized that this was the messenger.

I opened the red invitation and took a look: "Hobert is getting married! The bride is Forsi!"
