Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Time goes back to 4:12 pm, just as the Tarot Club is coming to an end, in the headquarters of Angelou City.

Recently, Angus has been carrying the "0-73" Death Realm disguised as a cane with him.

However, most of the time, this cane is represented by a black crystal. This is the use of "Order Crystal" to isolate the negative effects of sealed objects.

Considering that Ornia's body did not belong to her, when handing Ornia to Angus, Hobert reminded Angus that he could apply to use the sealed artifact "0-73".

Angus's final verdict was to use the "0-73" Death Realm to punish Onya's spirit body.

For the past half month, Ornia has been in a special area in the realm of death, and her spirit body was attacked by several special resentful spirits.

Fortunately, Ornia gradually recovered a certain degree of dignity during this period, otherwise she would have been tortured to death.

Of course, it was also because Ornia had recovered a certain level of personality that Angus arranged this mild punishment. Before Hobert gave a clear order, he would not let Ornia really die in the punishment. of.

As usual, Angus once again came to the dungeon built during the previous "Angelou Fortress" period, where Ornia's body was imprisoned.

At present, Onya is the only one in the dungeon, because the prisoners are no longer in prison, but are sent directly to the construction site to work.

There is only one guard in the dungeon now, and this was specially transferred for Ornia. Most of the time, this guard will be called to the court to help. Only in the afternoon, Angus routinely checks Ornia's body. He is here only when the situation arises.

The follower guard came to the first room on the left side of the dungeon. Onya was lying quietly on a wooden board in the iron cage, but most of her spirit body was not in her body at this time.

Angus put away the "Order Crystal" covering the area around the Death God's Domain, and was about to open the Death God's Domain. Suddenly, he felt that his hand was empty, and the bone-white cane had disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, the guard of the dungeon showed a strange smile: "This cane seems to be of good quality. It can be taken back and used as a door latch."

As he spoke, he took out a monocle from his pocket and put it on his left eye.

This turned out to be a clone of Amon, and I don’t know when it parasitized into the guard’s body.

Angus was stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly and threw a spell at Amon's clone.

Unfortunately, as soon as he took out the talisman, it appeared in the palm of Amon's clone. He took a look: "This is a talisman made of the 'Insect of Time'!

"The clones in the Rhoside Islands were indeed killed by the 'creator'."

While he was speaking, He kept stealing Angus's thoughts, which made Angus freeze in place, his eyes and expression a little dazed.

"I accepted it too, although it felt like I was accepting my own ashes." Amon's clone smiled, put the charm in his pocket, and left the dungeon using the ability to steal space.

Three seconds later, Angus recovered, and his blank expression immediately turned into surprise. He quickly prayed to the "creator" and reported what happened here.

After Amon's clone left the dungeon, he suddenly found a pretty figure wearing a blood-colored crown appearing in front of him.

And to His right, a young man wearing a blood-stained mask and an official Beyonder uniform.

These two people are Helen, who temporarily holds the "0-75" Abraham Crown, and Elliot, who temporarily holds the "0-74" Fallen Mask.

Amon's clone looked at the cane in his hand and immediately realized: "Did Hobert deliberately let this sealed artifact appear in the public eye? Is even punishing Onya just to cover up his true purpose?"

Elliot, who was wearing a mask, said: "Put down your cane and you can leave here."

Although he didn't know Amon's clone, he could feel it spiritually that the enemy in front of him was not simple.

Just as Amon's clone guessed, Hobert gave "0-73" Death Realm to Angus and secretly ordered him to expose this sealed object and the purpose of using it to others in a natural way.

Then Hobert took advantage of the need to celebrate the New Year and socialize with Backlund and did not show up in Angelou for about half a month.

And sent Helen and Elliot, each holding level 0 sealed artifacts, to ambush in Angelou City.

It's just that what they were ambushing was not Amon's clone, but the top brass of the "Rose School of Thought."

Even for an organization with a long history like the "Rose School of thought", a level 0 sealed artifact is still very important. Hobert believes that they will definitely send people to inquire about the relevant information to see if it is possible to recapture it.

If he could ambush the top leaders of the "Rose School of Thought", he could also catch their spies deployed in the South Balam Principality. That's why Hobert designed this trap.

But no one thought that it was Amon's clone who stepped into this trap, so Elliot made a promise to "put down his cane and let him go" because this was obviously not the enemy they wanted to ambush.

Amon's clone smiled and said: "Originally, I really wanted to put down my cane and leave, but your request made me change my mind. I didn't want to!"

After saying that, He actually injected his spirituality into the "realm of death" and prepared to borrow the power of the underworld to leave.

The "Crown of Abraham" worn by Helen immediately shone brightly: "Here..."

Her next words were stolen, and she only started to use the "forbidden" of the sealed object.

Almost at the same time, the shadow of Amon's clone suddenly stood up and grabbed the cane in Amon's clone's hand.

Amon's clone's hand that was not holding the staff pointed toward the top of his head. The bright light that he had stolen at some time appeared above his head, making the area of ​​his shadow very small, making it difficult to snatch the staff.

Then Amon stole the "imprisonment" used by Helen again, and then grabbed Elliot, causing the mask on Elliot's face to shake.

After all, this is a clone, and not every attempt to steal a level 0 sealed object can be successful.

In order to steal the "realm of death" at once, Amon's clone sacrificed its own probability of success in "stealing" in the next period of time.

At this time, Elliot said in a very sacred voice: "Put down the cane and leave now!"

This was what Amon's clone said just now, but it was just a part of that sentence. At this time, Elliot used the "Fallen Mask" to "intercept" it, making Amon's clone feel as if it heard an order that it could not disobey, holding the stick open.

But in the next moment, Amon's clone grasped the cane again, because he "deceived" himself, and the "holy word" he heard was: take the cane and leave.

Amon's clone immediately stole the boundary between the real world and the spiritual world in front of him, immediately entered the spiritual world and left here, but he suddenly found that his hand holding the "Death Realm" was very stiff, and he could not even pick up this bone-white bone. cane.

It turned out that Helen had just "deprived" Amon's clone of the right to use the "Death Realm", which made him not only unable to take away the cane, but also unable to pick it up.

Amon's clone simply let go of his hand, and then kicked the "Death Realm" into the spirit world.

Although He was "deprived" of the right to use the staff, He did not say that He could not kick or hit the staff!

Just when Amon's clone was about to disappear into the spiritual world, the "realm of death" miraculously returned to the real world.

Amon's clone glanced at the sky, without any hesitation, immediately got into the spirit world, and stole the traces of himself in the real world to avoid being "associated".

It turns out that the majestic "creator" image has appeared in mid-air.

After attending the Tarot Club, Hobert returned to the real world. Just as he was about to sacrifice the "Star Worm" to Mr. Fool, he heard Angus's prayer. The "Realm of Death" had been stolen by an unknown angel?

So Hobert immediately entered the "Land of Disorder" and used Angus's stars to see the fierce battle on the edge of Angelou City from a distance.

Hobert was very lucky at first that this trap was set up for an angel-level opponent, otherwise Amon's clone would definitely succeed.

Just when Amon's clone kicked the "Death Realm" into the spiritual world, Hobert noticed that another Amon clone was coming from the spiritual world to respond.

So the "creator" immediately took action and "twisted" the "realm of death" back into the real world.

Just when he was preparing to further deal with Amon's clone, that clone had already entered the spiritual world and left while the "creator" took back the "realm of death".

Hobert still put on the uniqueness and "distorted" his body far away in Backlund outside Angelou City, and then immediately returned to the real world, using the method of "distorting" space to reach the battlefield just now.

After confirming that Angus and the other three were not injured, Hobert first gave them generous rewards for their achievements, and then recovered the three level 0 sealed objects.

After being disturbed by Amon's clone, this trap has been exposed, and there is no need to continue setting it up.

Then Hobert asked in detail about the words and deeds of the Amon clone. After getting answers from the three Angus people, Hobert came to the dungeon and released the spirit of Ornia in the "Death Realm". body.

At this moment, Ornia's face turned pale and her lips turned purple, as if she were a dead person.

After she calmed down for a few seconds, Hobert smiled and said, "Congratulations, you are released after serving your sentence."

Onya opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word at this time.

After Hobert explained a few words to Angus and others, he took Onya into the spirit world and returned to Backlund.

Arriving at the Duke's Palace, Hobert first handed the stiff Onya to the housekeeper and asked the housekeeper to arrange for several maids to take care of her.

Then Hobert hurried back to the study and sacrificed the "Star Worm" to Mr. Fool.

After Mr. Fool collected the sacrifices, Hobert packed up the altar and began to think about the theft of "0-73" by Amon's clone that had just occurred.

Something that can be cloned by Amon, or simply be remembered by Amon and stolen, must be something very important!

If only one Amon clone appears, it is possible that he saw an opportunity and stole it casually. However, if there are other Amon clones to respond, it means that this is "deliberate theft."

Why did Amon's clone steal this level 0 sealed item? Why steal this sealed artifact at this time?

Regarding the previous question, Hobert thought of the bronze gate he had seen in the "Death Realm" before. When he entered the "Death Realm" for the first time, he noticed that there seemed to be something very mysterious behind the bronze gate. Terrible stuff.

Later, after the civil war ended, He entered the "realm of death" again to explore, and His spirituality warned Him again that what was behind the door was scary, so based on the principle of "more things are worse than less things", He did not try to open the bronze door.

After the theft of Amon's clone, Hobert thought that he should take the initiative to explore behind the bronze door to understand Amon's purpose.

As for the second question, which is also very critical, why didn’t Amon’s clone try to steal this sealed object when it was in Kleist’s hands?

And when it is captured by the "creator", it is theoretically more difficult to steal, but you have to take risks to steal it.

You know, just like now, when their actions failed and the main body was unable to come quickly, it exposed the fact that this sealed artifact was not simple.

The "creator" didn't pay much attention to this sealed object before, but now he will definitely attach great importance to it!

Then Amon's clone will have no chance to steal the "Death Realm" in the future, and will also expose the secrets in the "Death Realm".

However, this may also be a trap. Amon knew very well what a terrifying thing was behind the bronze door, so he used this theft to attract the attention of the "creator".

When the "Maker" opens the bronze door, the thing behind the door attacks the "Maker", causing the "Maker" to be injured or killed.

Hobert thought about it for a while and thought that it might be that Amon or Amon's clone had recently obtained important information and learned that something he needed was in "0-73". He followed the clues and found Ange. Lucheng.

When he learned that the "Death Realm" was in Angus's hands, Amon's clone felt that this was an opportunity and carried out the theft.

Hobert's trap is very deceptive. Angus is a demigod who has been in charge of a level 0 sealed artifact for a long time after the war is over. This sounds very unbelievable.

But after in-depth investigation, you will find the big melon that the "Blood Moon Queen" resurrected!

It seems very reasonable to use a level 0 sealed object to deal with the "Blood Moon Queen".

If you still have doubts, you will realize that the punishment of the "Blood Moon Queen" is serious, which seems very strange.

But if you investigate more carefully, you will find that the "Blood Moon Queen" was resurrected in a member of the Balk family. This seems reasonable. After all, the Balk family is an important part of the "creator" force and must always be given. They all told one another.

In short, there must be some preset information that is interfering with the investigators, and in the end they will gradually ignore the possibility that this is a trap.

Hobert believes that Amon's clone should have also been confused by this trap. Even if there is a sequence in this pathway that is a "decryption scholar", it may not be able to see through all the clues that Hobert has preset.

Otherwise, Angus had exposed his possession of the "Death Realm" more than ten days ago. If Amon's clone realized that this was a trap, he would have tried to destroy it more than ten days ago.

In other words, if today's theft was Amon's conspiracy, why did Amon's clone wait more than ten days before taking action?

Thinking of this, Hobert shook his head and felt that his idea was wrong!

Regardless of whether this is Amon's conspiracy or not, "0-73" has quite a secret.

This is the key!

Amon's clone wanted to steal "0-73" because there was a secret in this sealed object.

Or Amon's clone hopes to use "0-73" to kill the "creator", which further shows that this sealed object has quite a secret.

After all, the "creator" has the status of the King of Angels and the protection of the "Country of Disorder". Even Amon himself may not be sure to kill the "creator".

Since Amon's clone hopes that "0-73" will harm the "creator", it is enough to illustrate the power of this sealed object.

In this matter, the secret on the sealed object is the key!

So Hobert changed his mind: no matter what, we must explore the secret of this sealed artifact!

However, you must be very careful during the exploration process. You must use the "founder" hiding in the "State of Disorder" to explore, not "Trumpet" Hobert.

Just as I was thinking of this, there was a knock on the door.

Hobert came back to his senses: "Who?"

"Grand Duke, it's me." It was Mr. Corliss, the butler.

Dophis is currently digesting the magic potion at an accelerated pace. Because he has to die and be resurrected three times in a row, he will lose most of his memory during this period, so he has not been able to perform the duties of a housekeeper for a while.

So before he went to digest the potion, he found a competent butler for Hobert in advance.

Corliss paused for a moment and then said: "I have a visit from Mr. Emlyn. He said that he is your friend and that he wants to see you if there is something urgent.

"Coming with him was an old man who looked indifferent. Mr. Emlyn called him Lord Nibais."

Hobert smiled slightly: "I understand, ask them to wait in the large living room, I will be there later."

He glanced at the clock. It was now almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and it had been more than an hour since the Tarot session ended.

In other words, after the vampire got the news, they didn't send someone immediately, but after discussing it, Nibais came.

Nibais is the Marquis of the Blood Clan and the person in charge of Backlund, so he is indeed the most suitable candidate for the first negotiation.

Hobert deliberately waited for more than ten minutes before arriving at the large living room on the first floor.

"Mr. Nibais." Hobert smiled as soon as he entered the door: "You look better than before."

The white-haired Nibais managed a little smile: "You too."

The two parties shook hands, and Hobert patted Emlyn on the shoulder again as a greeting, and then they sat on both sides of the coffee table.

They chatted casually for a while, and after the servants served tea and left, Nibais got straight to the point and said, "I heard about the two transactions you initiated from Emlyn.

"The second transaction has seriously damaged our alliance. We demand that the harm to the Blood Moon Queen be stopped immediately and Her Majesty the Queen be returned to us immediately."

"Don't make the problem so serious." Hobert smiled: "I handled it this way just out of consideration for the alliance.

"Currently, the 'Blood Moon Queen' is recovering her status, but we all know that even if she recovers her status, without the support of extraordinary characteristics, she will only have the power of Sequence 4 at most.

"So, are the senior leaders of the Blood Clan willing to accept a Sequence 4 leader?

"I'm just doing this to suppress the spirit of the 'Blood Moon Queen', so as not to embarrass you."

Although Nibais's expression was still a little cold, his tone was much better: "We vampires are not as boring as humans."

Emlyn, who was sitting aside, suddenly felt that his expression was in danger of losing control, because the reason why they did not come to the Duke's Mansion immediately after getting the news was because the senior leaders of the vampire clan were discussing whether that was really Her Majesty the Queen. What position should we give Him?

However, everyone's opinions were never unanimous, so they had to decide to take the people back first, and then ask the ancestors for instructions on what to do.

Hearing Nibais's answer, Hobert leaned back on his chair and crossed his legs: "So, what are the vampires willing to give in exchange for your queen?"

Nibais stared at Hobert: "The vampires will let this be bygones."

Hobert shook his head: "The way the vampires deal with this is unacceptable."

"Don't destroy our alliance."

"It's you who are sabotaging it!" Hobert said seriously: "When you resurrected your 'Blood Moon Queen' in the body of a 'Creator' believer, didn't you think about our alliance?

"Why don't you let her be resurrected in the body of the vampires? Resurrecting her in the body of a person who has nothing to do with both parties will not cause dissatisfaction with the vampires within us!"

Emlyn frowned. This was something he had never thought of before. It seemed that it was really the vampires who were destroying the alliance between the two parties in the first place.

Nibais was slightly startled: "We were not the ones who resurrected Her Majesty the Queen in your place."

"It's not you, is it us?" Hobert said impatiently: "Brother, I always thought you were unwilling to resurrect the 'Blood Moon Queen'.

"But for some reasons, the resurrection of the 'Blood Moon Queen' is a foregone conclusion, so you just gave me this difficult problem.

"So I used trial and punishment to help you deal with the 'Blood Moon Queen'. Now that she has no temper, I am ready to return it to you.

"Who knew you would refuse to admit it?"

Emlyn opened his mouth and felt that the logic of Hobert's words was very reasonable: I didn't expect that there was such a plan from the top management hidden in it!

Nibais, who has lived for hundreds of years, suddenly felt that his brain was a bit insufficient: "No, it's not that complicated... No, the resurrection of the 'Blood Moon Queen' has nothing to do with us."

"Does it have anything to do with the vampires? Does it have anything to do with me?" Hobert looked increasingly unhappy.

Nibais was speechless. Yes, the resurrection of the "Blood Moon Queen" has nothing to do with the blood clan. Could it also have something to do with the favored one of the "creator"?

He suddenly felt that he should first consult the ancestor to see if the resurrection of the "Queen" was the arrangement of the ancestor?

If it was really the arrangement of the ancestor, even if the vampires didn't know it, they would have to hold their noses to recognize it.

Thinking of this, Nibaisi asked: "What conditions must be met before you can release our 'queen'."

Hobert pretended to think about it for a while before saying: "The vampires owe us a huge favor this time. From angels to ordinary vampires, they have to fight for us for free! Repay this favor."

Nibais' words of rejection came to his lips, but in the end he did not say anything too harshly, but said: "Let's discuss it."

Then he added: "During this period, please stop punishing the 'Queen' immediately."

Hobert smiled and nodded: "I understand, I will tell the 'Blood Moon Queen' that she was released after serving her sentence after many requests from the blood clan."

Nibais was about to nod, but felt that Hobert's words seemed a bit strange.

After sending away the vampire negotiators, Hobert took out "0-73" from the "Country of Disorder". He decided to study this sealed artifact tonight.
