Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

After coming to the conclusion that the "Bound God" Torzner had gained a new life, Hobert then considered the unique way for the "Demon King" Fabuti to obtain the "Bound One".

This god has the greatest special skill: super alive!

He has lived from the second era to the fifth era. If nothing unexpected happens, he may be able to continue to live.

In the long years, He should have had the opportunity to come into contact with the way of becoming the old days and work hard for it.

This should be the core plan of His fight against the "Mother Tree of Desire": to become the old man himself.

Only by becoming the old one can we have the personality and ability to deal with the old one.

Farbuti itself has the uniqueness of the "Devil" path and the Sequence 1 characteristics, and now he has the uniqueness of the "Bound One" path.

In the second era, during the divine battle between the "ancestor of the blood race" Lilith and the "devil wolf of destruction" and the "alien king", Fabuti had already acquired the extraordinary characteristics of a "god", and he should There will be no true sacrifice to the "Fallen Mother Goddess".

So the preparations for uniqueness and extraordinary characteristics have been completed, but I wonder if he has found any clues to the "Shadow World" corresponding to the source of matter in the long years?

As long as someone in his own path or in an adjacent path wants to become an old one, Hobert supports the earth gods to have more old ones appear. Even if this old one symbolizes evil and devil, it is acceptable.

After taking another look at the capture of this battle, Hobert took a deep breath and left the "Country of Disorder".

It wasn't until the next day that the Beyonders completely completed the exploration and cleanup of Asun City. Indeed, there were still some monsters hiding in some underground buildings.

In fact, they were not monsters, just residents hiding from the war in their basements.

In yesterday's battle, it was not that Hobert didn't want to save people, but that he simply had no ability and no time to save people.

Whether it is the "Mother Tree of Desire", the "Bound God", or the "god" Si'a, they don't care about the life and death of these ordinary people at all. With their efforts, people all over the city have become monster.

After Hobert's subordinates gathered the trophies, the Extraordinary responsible for counting the trophies noticed that there were three less demigod-level Beyonder characteristics than expected. This meant that three demigods escaped from the city yesterday. .

In the hands of the official South Balam Beyonders, there is detailed information about the "Rose School" demigods. This information was provided by Xio.

The period from the civil war in South Bailang Principality to the beginning of the war to destroy the country was Xio's main battlefield.

Xio, who had the opportunity to digest the potion in advance because of the trial of George III, is now a "law mage".

Before the war of annihilation, she led teams to sneak into the Highland Kingdom many times, and through field surveys, she drew a map of the Highland Kingdom. This map was even more detailed than the map used by the Highland Kingdom itself.

When he got this map, Hobert suddenly sighed: "Only invaders would be so keen on other countries' territories."

Archibald on the side was about to remind Hobert that they were going to rescue the people of the Highland Kingdom and could not call themselves invaders.

But he found that Grand Duke Hobert's mood seemed wrong. He heard Hobert say again: "Fortunately, we are the invaders. Fortunately, we do not adhere to the concept of 'racial evolution'. Fortunately, we are not trying to establish some bullshit co-prosperity." lock up."

Archibald didn't know why the Grand Duke would sigh like this, but he swallowed the reminder he prepared.

Xio also obtained a large amount of extraordinary information by bribing the nobles of the Highland Kingdom, including a table of information on the number and names of existing demigods in the "Rose School of Thought."

By comparing the loot with the information on this table, it is not difficult to find that one copy of the "Silent Disciple" and two copies of the "Puppet" are missing.

Perhaps these three demigods did not escape in confusion in the chaos, but knew Sia's plan, so they left immediately when the "conch monster" was summoned.

Hobert didn't take this too seriously, because in the ensuing second phase of the war, there would be many opportunities to kill these demigods.

When Hobert and Medici met for the first time, Medici said frankly: "Extraordinaries today no longer have a clear idea of ​​what destroying a country means.

"To destroy a country, you don't just have to drive away the ruler. The most difficult thing to deal with is the extraordinary people in this country."

Medici's remarks later made Hobert realize what it means to be professional.

According to Medici's plan, after the first phase of the war plan eliminated the enemy's main force, the most important task was to uproot the Extraordinaries everywhere.

To put it bluntly, the extraordinary forces in various places are the local nobles. Together with the "Rose School", they monopolize the extraordinary resources of the Highland Kingdom. If they are not eliminated during the war, they must make political compromises with them after the war. Win them over.

In order to avoid such a situation, Medici proposed the plan of "giving them time", which was also the core purpose of besieging Asun without attacking.

First, let the reinforcements composed of nobles from various places have time to come to support and try to annihilate them under the city of Asun.

When the local nobles do not have the support of extraordinary people, once the war is over and the national policy currently pursued by the South Balam Principality is implemented, it will be relatively easy for them to lose the basis of their rule.

Medici gave the nobles of the Highland Kingdom a week in total. The Beyonders from the nobles from all over the country were basically concentrated in the capital of the Highland Kingdom, and then they were all killed in yesterday's Angel War.

Secondly, in the same week, the regular troops of the South Balam Principality occupied the Highland Kingdom, causing nobles from all over the country to flee north. The few remaining nobles could also be controlled immediately.

This completely cut off the extraordinary potential of nobles everywhere.

When such a small Beyonder family suddenly loses its territory and source of income, it basically has no future.

This idea is just like Hobert forcing the Loen agents to rebel. The foundation of establishing a country is to eradicate all extraordinary powers in the country except himself.

The above is the first phase of combat missions. Medici also prepared a "second package" for the Highland Kingdom and the "Rose School of Thought."

In the second stage of the battle plan, Medici planned to repeatedly capture the city of Cologne in the northern part of the Highland Kingdom in the next three to four months.

Cologne City is an important hub in the north. If it is captured, the remaining one-third of the Highland Kingdom's territory can be divided into two.

This extraordinary war does not need to be fought with all strength. It is enough to send two extraordinary troops.

Firstly, the main force is not used at all, and secondly, it gives the illusion that most of the force is contained, creating reasons for a subsequent active retreat.

And the attack speed must be slow, and the enemy must be given enough time to react!

After the war is initiated, the next step is made by observing the enemy's reaction.

If the enemy concentrates all its remaining power in Cologne City, it means that they want to keep the last piece of territory. After all, an extraordinary organization without a base will be greatly reduced in terms of financial resources and potential.

At this time, we need to slowly attack Cologne City bit by bit. The city walls cannot stop the Extraordinary. In Medici's opinion, they can continuously enter the city for sneak attacks and consume the enemy's assembled strength as much as possible.

Although the "Rose School" was crippled, according to Medici's experience, this kind of organization with a base has enough financial resources to set up its own strongholds in various countries in the Northern Continent.

The constant fighting is to force them to mobilize their strength in their strongholds in various countries.

In addition, the nobles of the Highland Kingdom must have worked harder than the "Rose School" in this battle. The "Rose School" left the Highland Kingdom and Siaatodi.

With this "god" around, no matter where they go, they are an organization that other forces dare not look down upon.

But the nobles knew very well that they were nothing after leaving the Highland Kingdom.

Therefore, in this war, they will contribute as much strength as they have.

Medici planned to attack for the first time in ten days. After these ten days of non-stop attacks, if he could not capture the city of Cologne, he would temporarily retreat. After a few days of rest, he would continue to attack the city with the other two extraordinary troops. .

If the city is captured, plunder it, find a very reasonable-sounding reason to evacuate, and wait ten days and a half before attacking again.

Medici believed that the second stage of the war would take at least three months and the city of Cologne would have to be captured at least five times!

After five months, it will be very easy to occupy the remaining one-third of the territory of the Highland Kingdom. By then, the "Rose School" will probably only have Si'a and some low-sequence Beyonders left, and all the nobles will also be left. There will be no extraordinary power to speak of.

In Medici's words: "This is a perfect battle to destroy the country."

Of course, the "Rose School" must still have extraordinary power in the Highland Kingdom, but these powers are already very weak. When they secretly and finally cultivated a group of "mid-sequence" extraordinary people, they discovered that the South Balam Principality had been established. Solid extraordinary order.

Although his strength has been restored to a certain extent, he still has to continue to survive secretly.

This is the most perfect plan, but if Cologne is captured once, the enemy will not be willing to hold on when they attack Cologne the second time.

Or during the first attack, the enemy has no intention of defending the city, so he must immediately use all his strength to occupy the remaining territory.

This shows that both the "Rose School" and the nobles of the Highland Kingdom have already made plans to abandon the Highland Kingdom.

At this time, it is a race against time to occupy the remaining territory as soon as possible and establish an extraordinary order as soon as possible.

Because the members of the "Rose School" and the nobles of the Highland Kingdom will definitely establish a government in exile. No matter how bad the reputation of the "Rose School" was before, there will be people who support them.

After they settled down, the first thing they did was to secretly send extraordinary forces to the Highland Kingdom to carry out sabotage and restoration operations.

At this time, if the official Beyonders have established a basis for rule, they will not threaten the rule of the South Balam Principality.

When Hobert heard Medici's entire plan, he sighed in his heart: This is called "Those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a domain."

It was also because of hearing Medici's plan that Hobert planned to try to recruit this "Red Angel". This kind of war thinking is currently lacking in Hobert's team.

In the second stage of the war to destroy the country, Hobert planned to let Medici fight, but once the war was over, the military power must be taken back.

Outside of the war, Hobert asked Conrad and Donna to do a good job in logistics, not only to provide sufficient supplies, but also to provide enough grassroots officials to quickly control the Highland Kingdom.

Theoretically speaking, the Principality of South Balam has just completed its land reform and has occupied so much territory that there is simply not enough manpower.

But the universities that kept moving in at the beginning of the year brought enough high-level intellectuals to the government.

Donna immediately proposed a talent transition plan for college students to enter grassroots work. She sent people to universities to promote national policies, and organized them to study in various parts of the South Balam Principality, and finally recruited college students who were about to graduate.

After seeing the national policy of the South Balam Principality, there must be many young people willing to devote themselves to this vigorous change.

Hobert was quite satisfied with this plan. At the same time, he suggested that such publicity should be normalized and that universities be required to offer relevant courses in political science, so as to continuously provide the government with fresh blood.

The problem of officials is solved. As long as the land reform is completed in a month or two, the crippled Highland Kingdom will no longer be able to regain its control.

In addition, Hobert ordered Hugh to investigate the transfer of property by the nobles of the Highland Kingdom.

Among the seizures in Asun City, there was also a large amount of gold and a large number of gold pounds.

Even Hobert didn't expect that such a nobleman, who had long been reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country, could be so rich!

In the first phase of the war, a large number of nobles fled north. When Medici conducts the second phase of the combat mission, they will definitely transfer assets abroad as soon as possible.

The only way to transfer assets outward is to buy land, mines, or exchange gold for gold pounds.

As long as a transaction occurs, it is easy to trace the process of transferring assets.

Then after the domestic battle is over, it will be Xio's intelligence department's turn to start working.

Hobert's plan is to find these nobles and discuss with them to donate all their assets to the country. If they are willing to "donate", they can spare their lives.

If they are unwilling to donate, they may drown while taking a bath, fall to death while riding a horse, or be beaten to death inexplicably while walking on the street.

After a few days of repairs, as Medici led more than a hundred Beyonders and dozens of support personnel to march north openly, the second phase of the war officially began.

Hobert followed Conrad and Donna who came later to discuss the matter of repairing Asun City.

The city has excellent transportation links and will surely prosper again in the future.

However, Conrad suggested repairing some office spaces first, and then proceeding with large-scale repairs after sufficient manpower is available. After all, the construction work in Angelou City will not be completed for more than a month, and building materials from all over the country are being shipped there. .

In the newly occupied areas, the priority issues to be solved are surveying the land, registering assets, completing the agrarian revolution as soon as possible, etc.

Fortunately, this kind of thing is already familiar to the principality government. Hobert simply discussed it with them for a few words and did not continue to ask questions.

For the next ten days or so, Hobert stayed in Asuncion City to organize relevant personnel to solve difficult problems as soon as possible.

Medici's first round of attacks ended as scheduled. In the past ten days of fighting, they successfully killed two more demigods from the opponent, as well as dozens of Beyonders from other sequences.

The Medici did not capture the city of Cologne, leaving that for another time.

According to his estimation, it may not take five times, but only three attacks on Cologne City in the current mode, to drain the extraordinary potential of the "Rose School" and the nobles of the Highland Kingdom.

Since the second round of the war went relatively smoothly, Hobert felt free to leave Asun City and return to Backlund to rest for a few days.

…

Countries in the Northern Continent have different opinions on the war in which the Principality of South Balam captured the capital of the Highland Kingdom in a short period of time.

First of all, the first reaction of various countries was quite surprising. After all, Roen, Fusac, and Intis all tried to invade the Highland Kingdom from different directions, thus destroying this kingdom whose territory had been severely reduced compared to more than a hundred years ago.

But without exception, they all failed, because this country has the support of the "Rose School", or the support of angels, and can always defend a territory.

Therefore, the South Balam Principality achieved such a great victory in a short period of time. Everyone was surprised at first, and then showed different reactions.

The Kingdom of Feneport was very fortunate. Fortunately, during the previous civil war in the South Balam Principality, they did not respond to the Feysac Empire's call to join the coalition.

If they really join the coalition, they will have to face the increasingly powerful South Balam Principality. Before the all-out war in the northern continent ends, no country will have the strength to open a new battlefield in the southern continent.

The Fusac Empire breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it had completed peace talks with the South Balam Principality. Otherwise, if the South Balam Principality wanted to take revenge, even the colonies in the central part of the Southern Continent would not be safe.

At this time, since the South Balam Principality has chosen to take revenge on the Highland Kingdom first, there is enough strategic space for them.

According to the speculation of the Imperial Strategy Department, in the next one or two years, the main force of the South Balam Principality will not be able to withdraw from the Highland Kingdom.

When the Republic of Intis heard that the Principality of South Balam began to attack the Highland Kingdom, it wanted to unite with the Fusac Empire again and organize a counterattack from the southern colonies.

However, news soon spread that the Principality of South Balam had defeated the main force of the "Rose School", which caused Intis' plan to be canceled as soon as it was implemented.

Now they also plan to negotiate peace with the South Balam Principality through "Earl's Light".

Only the Kingdom of Loen is not optimistic about this victory, and some newspapers even commented: The Principality of South Balam has used its power in the wrong direction!

The implication is that since the South Balam Principality has this strength, why not attack the colonies of the Fusac Empire and the Republic of Intis? Why don't you come to support the battle in the northern continent?

The Kingdom of Loen is almost unable to withstand it.

At this time, the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, which had always been neutral, seemed to realize that Loen's only ally was also caught in the quagmire of the war.

So they suddenly announced that they would provide technical support for weapons to the army of the Republic of Intis.

This is tantamount to announcing that the Church of Steam has finally chosen to support the Republic of Intis.

The next day, extraordinary figures from the Church of Steam appeared on the western battlefield of the Loen Kingdom.

Not long after, the western front that Loen had held for more than three months was breached, and was immediately defeated. The Loen army was quickly driven out of the central plateau. It could only quickly attack the Intis Republic while it was concentrating its forces. Establish a defensive line at Tuckwell Plains.

But everyone knows that fighting on the plains depends on the number of troops, and Roen is currently at a huge disadvantage in this regard, and this plain will soon be lost.

…

Backlund has begun to get warmer in March, and because of the wind, the fog in this international metropolis can be temporarily blown away.

In the Duke's Mansion, Hobert was sitting on the terrace on the second floor, reading the newspaper with a leisurely expression.

Regarding the situation on the Western Front, newspapers reported very little, except that the defenders would definitely be able to continue to hold their positions.

Hobert smiled slightly. In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed since the war began. It was already very good for Roen to be able to hold on until now.

Dangdangdang~

At this time, the clock in the study room rang. Hobert put down the newspaper and "distorted" space to the financial director's office of "Earl's Light".

Audrey had already changed into relatively plain clothes and used the sealed artifact to change her appearance.

Hobert smiled and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Ready." Audrey said in a clear voice.

Today, Hobert will accompany Audrey to an anti-war march and take the "manipulator's" potion amidst everyone's anti-war sentiment.

Hobert was about to "distort" space when Audrey suddenly asked: "Hobert, I heard that Backlund's night market is closed?"

"Yes." Hobert nodded: "I heard that it was forced to close at the beginning of the war."

Audrey said "Oh" and took Hobert's arm.

As soon as Hobert raised his hand, they disappeared from the office in an instant and appeared at the corner of a street in Backlund's St. George District the next second.

Not far away was a group of people who kept shouting anti-war slogans. Hobert temporarily "distorted" their vision so that they didn't notice him and Audrey.

Then the two men naturally joined the procession, which was enough for ten thousand people from street to end.

The ritual required for Audrey's promotion is to take the magic potion in a specific occasion with at least 10,000 people, in the great resonance of their emotions.

And now everyone's emotions resonate greatly.

Hobert said: "Take the magic potion as soon as possible, and the police may come to disperse them soon."

Audrey nodded, took out the potion she had prepared and drank it in one gulp. At this moment, she was surrounded by strong dissatisfaction and grief, which also made her conscious. Soon, she was under the potion. Find yourself among the influences.

After only about a minute of confrontation, Audrey had already controlled the overflowing spirituality.

Hobert smiled and said: "It went more smoothly than expected."

He was about to take Audrey away, but Audrey looked at the crowd chanting slogans and suddenly said: "Hobert, can you help them?"

Hobert looked at the long parade, took a deep breath and said, "Unless they are willing to immigrate to the South Balam Principality."

The people participating in the march were the unemployed during the war and those who lost their loved ones during the war.

The fall of the industrial zone on the south coast of Jianhai has left a large number of factories lacking corresponding raw materials or parts. As long as the factories are not involved in military industry, they have stopped production.

A large number of workers have lost their jobs and cannot even afford bread. They can only go to relief stations to get some bread to satisfy their hunger.

Therefore, even when Backlund's current food prices are not high, there are more and more homeless people sleeping on the streets, and more and more people are hungry.

Those who were willing to immigrate to the Southern Continent to take a gamble have already moved, or are in the process of immigrating.

There are two types of people participating in the march today. One type still has hope for this country. They are not willing to go to the wild southern continent and start over.

The other type is those who have lost relatives during the war, and they want to express their grief and anger through shouting in the ranks.

Hobert couldn't help them.

Audrey also understood the reason, so she said nothing more.

The next second, the two people disappeared from the team without attracting anyone's attention.

At this time, whistles were heard in the distance, and the police arrived and began to violently disperse the crowd.

Some people in the crowd also fought back, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

…

Hobert and Audrey returned to the financial director's office and had a brief chat. Hobert went to the general manager's office again and asked Todd about the recent operation of "Earl's Light".

"Everything is normal." Todd smiled and said: "Our business has not been affected in any way. With the defeat of the Western Front, I have sent people to the west to acquire previously built power plants and other supporting factories, as well as cheap real estate."

When "Earl's Light" first expanded its business, Hobert made corresponding layouts and did not make any investment in the north and west.

Todd was so impressed by Hobert's "foresight" that the war had been going on for so long, but all the business of "Earl's Light" had not been greatly affected.

Then he talked about overseas business. The current business in Intis and Feneport have also begun to make profits. Not only has "Earl's Light" not been affected by the war, it is getting richer and richer.

Until about five o'clock in the afternoon, Hobert and Audrey got off work together, and then took Audrey's carriage home.

Today we have an appointment to visit Earl Hall's house.

In the carriage, Hobert saw that Audrey seemed to be worried, so he asked: "What problem did you encounter at work?"

Normally, Audrey hides her inner thoughts very well, but this afternoon because she had just been promoted, her spirituality was not very stable, so she sometimes fell out of the "audience" state.

"No." Audrey took a deep breath before saying, "I met a homeless person this morning. I remember she was a stall owner at the night market."

Only then did Hobert understand. No wonder Audrey asked about the night market before.

Audrey added: "I asked her about it and found out that many stall owners in the night market went bankrupt because they lost their source of income."

"This is inevitable." Hobert comforted: "The war is affecting everyone on both sides."

He had not felt this way before, but today while riding in the carriage, he noticed that there were so many idle people on the street. Soon, they would become homeless because they could not afford bread or pay rent.

During the grain trade war around the New Year, Backlund's grain prices were almost the same as before the war. Now more than two months have passed, and there has been a slight increase in grain prices.

Before this, Hobert had optimistically estimated that most of the citizens of Backlund had food in stock, and all the food stores in Backlund still had a lot of food. This international metropolis should not have any tragedies due to lack of food.

Now Hobert realizes that he has overestimated the Ruen government's ability to govern.

At this time, if we don’t quickly start some public welfare construction projects to absorb these unemployed people, sooner or later they will become unstable factors.

Audrey asked again: "Why is it that the South Balam Principality was barely affected even when a war broke out?"

The immigration operation in the South Balam Principality continues, and a large amount of food is distributed every day.

Two huge construction sites are also operating normally, consuming large amounts of vegetables and bread every day.

Audrey sometimes couldn't understand how this country could still function normally while supporting hundreds of thousands of people with no source of income.

Hobert smiled and said: "Because our strategic thinking is different, I was sure of victory first and then launched the war.

"But the countries in the Northern Continent are different. The war they launch is more like a gamble with all the bets on it, and their strategic thinking is always a little emotional.

"In addition, the governments of various countries were not adequately prepared for the series of reactions triggered by the war. Even if they were adequately prepared, they did not take the lives and deaths of ordinary people too seriously, so they simply ignored the scenes on the streets."

At this point, Hobert looked out the car window and said, "As I said, unless they are willing to immigrate to the South Balam Principality, I can't help them."

Audrey sighed: "Maybe I should change my mind. Fortunately, there is still the Principality of South Balam, which provides survival guarantees for those who are willing to immigrate."

Hobert smiled: "The situation in the Northern Continent has developed to this extent. We really need to be optimistic."

During the conversation, the carriage arrived at Earl Hall's mansion, and Hobert was warmly received by the Hall family.

During dinner, it was inevitable to talk about the war on the Western Front.

"The Loen military has begun to build positions in the Balqis Mountains west of Backlund." Earl Hall said to Hobert: "Be aware of the risks of investment."

The Balqis Mountains are at the end of the Takwell Plain and are the last barrier to the west of Backlund.

In other words, Loen's senior management is ready to give up on Takwell Plains.

Hobert smiled and said: "Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention to it."

Earl Hall was reminding Hobert of those investments in areas that were about to become enemy territory. In his opinion, such investments were too risky.

While Hobert continued to eat, he thought of another thing: when this large international granary fell into the hands of the enemy, the price of food in Backlund would skyrocket again.

Thinking of this, Hobert smiled and shook his head. There were still a lot of things going on in the South Balam Principality, and he had no time to take care of the ordinary people in Backlund.

Previously, on the one hand, he promoted Longwei Island, and on the other hand, he suppressed food prices. He did everything he could.

If you believe the propaganda of Longwei Island, you will think of immigrating to the Southern Balam Principality when you go bankrupt.

If people who buy cheap food are grateful for the affordable food that Hobert provides them, then after accidentally going bankrupt, out of the most basic trust, they will also think of immigrating to the Southern Balam Principality.

But now, those who are still unwilling to immigrate and "stick" to Backlund do not believe in Longtail Island's propaganda and do not think Hobert is good.

That's why Hobert kept emphasizing to Audrey that he could only help them if they were willing to immigrate.

The following conversations all revolved around the war in the Southern Balam Principality. Like the previous civil war, people in the northern continent were almost unaware of the details of this war.

Of course Hobert couldn't tell them about the battle with extraordinary powers, he lied that he had found a military genius, so the war went very smoothly from the beginning.

Audrey, who was listening in, took a deep breath: Of course the "God of War" is a military genius!

After dinner, the family took a walk in the garden as usual.

This time, Earl Hall suddenly proposed to talk to Hobert alone. Hobert was slightly stunned, so he had to follow him and discuss some business issues of "Earl's Light" with Earl Hall.

After talking for a while, Earl Hall brought up another topic about the nobility. After listening for a while, Hobert realized that the Earl was using this topic to vaguely remind him that he hoped to marry Audrey in the near future.

Hobert did not immediately agree, but said he would seriously consider it.

It's not that he deliberately made things difficult for Earl Hall, but that for such a thing, he had to talk to Christine first before agreeing to it, both emotionally and rationally.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Hobert said goodbye to Earl Hall's family and returned to the Duke's Palace. Hobert continued to pick up the newspaper on the terrace and sighed while reading: "The war is affecting everyone involved in the war, including I."

At this time, his sight was suddenly covered by a starry sky, and a female voice that made people feel physically and mentally peaceful came from his ears: "Get ready and complete the tasks you owed before tomorrow."

Before, Hobert prayed for the help of the Night Goddess. The Night Goddess said that the reward he needed was to help him complete a task.

I didn’t expect that this task had taken so long to be announced.

Hobert nodded: "Okay. As long as it is a task that my current sequence can complete, you can give me your orders."

Then he thought in his mind: Shouldn't the goddess of the night put on a posture at this time, trying her best to accommodate the uniqueness of the "god of death" path? Why do you still have time to command me?

The next moment, Hobert thought: Maybe the task assigned by the goddess is very important to him.

At this time, the starry sky in front of Hobert disappeared, and he was stunned for three seconds: "What kind of mission is it? You tell me!"

Hobert realized belatedly: Could it be that the precondition I just mentioned made the goddess of the night angry away?

At this moment, opposite Hobert, a figure suddenly appeared from head to toe like an image projected by a stuck projector.

Wearing a simple robe, a bark belt, and bare feet, He is none other than Lady Arianna.

Hobert stood up immediately and said, "Madam."

Arianna smiled and said, "I believe you have received the goddess's oracle."

Hobert sighed in his heart: Do all gods have this kind of virtue? Don't want to say a word?

He said: "Yes, he said he wanted to give me a task."

As soon as Arianna raised her hand, Hobert's spiritual sense felt that the surrounding space had entered a "hidden" state.

Hobert asked Arianna to sit down, but the "Secret Servant" shook his head: "The task is very simple."

He said: "I need you to go to the battlefield on the Eastern Front tomorrow to snatch a sealed artifact from the Church of the God of War.

"This sealed artifact is in the hands of Leonid...the angel of the God of War Church who you tried to stop last time.

"He only started to use that sealed object in the past few days. You must be careful not to be targeted by that sealed object, otherwise you will be contaminated by the starry sky."

"Okay." Hobert understood that the sealed object was probably contaminated by the outside gods, but because he had the "Order Crystal", he was generally not afraid of this kind of contamination, so the goddess of the night let herself snatch the sealed object.

Arianna continued: "You can go to York City tomorrow morning. The guest who received you before will be waiting for you at the city gate, and he will take you to find Leonid."

Hobert nodded and asked, "Does the Church of God of War value this sealed artifact? If I snatch this sealed artifact, will it attract other angels?"

"It's considered more important, otherwise it wouldn't be handed over to angels for use." Arianna replied: "We will hold off other angels, Leonid will not receive angel-level support, and you can concentrate on grabbing the sealed artifacts.

"But you have to be fast, it's best to grab it within three minutes."

Hobert scratched his head. He would definitely have to send out tool men. He was not confident that he could grab something from the "Glory One" alone within three minutes.

Hobert asked again: "What does this sealed artifact look like? What specific abilities does it have?"

"I don't know." Arianna said: "Everyone who saw it died, and Leonid has not yet used it to deal with our angels, so we don't know the specific situation.

"I only saw some relevant descriptions in some information: Don't be targeted by that sealed object, otherwise you will be polluted from the starry sky."

Hobert opened his mouth: "This sounds dangerous."

Arianna smiled and said: "I also brought a bad luck charm, which was given by the goddess before. It should be able to help you."

Saying this, he took out a dark black charm from his pocket.

Hobert's spirituality immediately realized that this was a "god-level" spell!

After receiving the talisman, He said in his heart: That's stable.

After sending Arianna away, Hobert studied the talisman in his hand again. He could not feel any spiritual overflow from the talisman, nor could he feel any extraordinary power. It felt like a black stone!

But Hobert knew very well that this was definitely not a stone!

Then Hobert couldn't put it down: the "god-level" talisman. The goddess of the night also spent a lot of money to seize that sealed object.

You know, god-level spells can only be made with god-level materials.

For example, the hair, flesh and blood of the Night Goddess, etc., at this level, there are no corresponding extraordinary creatures, only the gods themselves!

After watching for a while, Hobert suddenly yawned: "The charm actually has a sleeping effect. I can sleep well tonight."

After a good sleep, Hobert came to York City early the next morning wearing a knight's uniform as scheduled, and saw the guests already waiting at the city gate.

Bin immediately came up to him and said: "Grand Duke, I just received news that traces of the target were found at the Amanda Pass!"
