Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

At present, the Kingdom of Loen has three fronts on land. The western front has been conquered, and the northern front is still fighting in industrial cities such as Conston. Only the eastern front is as solid as a rock, and there is no sign of being captured so far.

This is inseparable from the fact that the headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of Night is in the Amanda Mountains on the eastern front. The main force of the Church of God of War is also here. It has been trying to break through the eastern front, but has never succeeded.

The extraordinary war between the two sides has always been very fierce. Demigod battles take place almost every day in the Amanda Mountains and mountain passes, and occasionally lead to confrontations between angels from both sides.

Just now, someone from the military witnessed Leonid appearing at the Amanda Pass.

Hobert quickly got into the mood: "Let's go to the mountain pass and take a look."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and used the power of "distortion", and the two of them entered the spiritual world in an instant.

Bin was stunned for a moment, curious as to what kind of space magic this was?

Then he thought about it for a while and then realized that this should be a demonstration of the "lawyer's" ability at the angel level.

In just a few seconds, the two people had arrived at the Amanda Pass.

Bin said in his heart: It is faster than the speed of "travel".

Of course, you have to be quick. From Hobert's point of view, there are shortcuts everywhere in the spiritual world.

Bin quickly calmed down and took Hobert to find a military demigod.

"About half an hour ago, there were many non-combat casualties in the eastern position. After we went to understand the situation, we speculated based on the appearance described by witnesses and other information that Leonid of the Church of the God of War passed there and entered Min'er. Minsk Mountains." The demigod in military uniform reported succinctly.

Hobert was slightly startled: "Did an ordinary soldier see Leonid?"

"Yes."

Hobert asked again: "How are those soldiers doing now?"

The demigod showed a helpless smile: "Half of the more than 600 people in the entire group are dead, and the remaining half are worse off than dead."

The angels of the Loen Royal Family are very busy and have to constantly travel between the Western and Northern Fronts. The angels of the Church of the Goddess of Night are also always ready to confront the angels of the Church of God of War. They have no time to care about the life and death of these ordinary soldiers.

Hobert said: "Take me to see it."

The military demigod immediately said: "Yes!"

After the demigod pointed in the direction, Hobert immediately "distorted" their position and came to a stinking trench.

Some of the soldiers in the trenches were so old that they were disfigured, and some were covered with festering black tumors, which were constantly exuding foul-smelling pus. They were all wailing and waiting to die.

Hobert raised his hand and "donated" the aging and decay caused by the power of dusk to the rocks and trees in the distance.

The trees suddenly turned yellow, and the rocks instantly collapsed.

The pain on the soldiers who had been waiting for death suddenly disappeared. They couldn't believe it. They touched their young cheeks over and over again and suddenly cheered.

The military demigod said to them: "Come here and thank Archduke Hobert for saving you with the special medicine he brought."

Before, they lied that these soldiers were injured by some kind of poisonous gas, which made them like this.

Hobert smiled and waved, returning the soldiers' thanks and then told them about what they had just seen.

After the three people returned to the headquarters, Hobert asked the military demigod: "Run still has a stronghold or defense line in the Minerminsk Mountains?"

The military demigod replied: "No, what we saw just now is the easternmost position."

Hobert frowned: "That's strange, why would Leonid show angelic influence in front of ordinary soldiers?

"This is equivalent to telling us that He entered the Minsk Mountains."

The military demigod was stunned for a moment and then said: "Grand Duke, you may not know much about it. If the angels and demigods on both sides have the chance, they will definitely contaminate or affect ordinary soldiers to weaken the opponent's strength."

He took a deep breath: "For both sides, soldiers are the most expensive strategic material now."

Positions need soldiers to attack and garrison, and weapons need soldiers to use. Now the training time of soldiers has been shortened to twenty days, but from the perspective of senior officials, it still requires a lot of time, cost and materials to train a soldier. It will not be enough to send it to the battlefield. Soldiers who died immediately and inexplicably.

Hobert was stunned for a second or two, and suddenly he seemed to be asking himself or the military demigod: "The war has reached this level, what's the point?"

But it seemed that He just asked this question and was not prepared to get the answer from here.

After sighing, Hobert said to the military demigod: "I understand.

"In other words, there is no need to pay special attention to Leonid's move."

Just as Hobert was about to take Bin away, the military demigod suddenly said: "Grand Duke, I have recently heard some remarks about Long Tail Island. Are those... are those remarks true?"

"You can go to Locker from the Air Force." Hobert said: "He has a special pass and can take you to Longtail Island. You can visit it yourself."

The military demigod was stunned for a moment before nodding: "Okay, I'll take a look."

The previous sneak attack on St. Milon resulted in the emergence of a group of "Founder" believers headed by Locke in the Air Force. Later, Hobert assisted in guarding Pulitzer Harbor, and another group of "Founder" believers appeared in the Navy.

Not long ago, Hobert heard from Locke that there were also a group of officers in the army who were yearning for the Principality of South Balam.

This is not difficult to understand. With a large number of soldiers killed, officers will definitely think about the meaning of this war, and then they will find that this war is meaningless!

If there was no publicity about Changwei Island, they would still be hesitantly looking for an ideological way out. Now that the "Changwei Island Model" has provided them with a new idea, they will certainly try their best to learn more about it.

Hobert left the position with Bing and quickly entered the Minerminsk Mountains.

There are few people here, and the ice and snow have not yet melted in some places.

Hobert stopped on a ridge. In front of him was an endless virgin forest, with no trace of Leonid at all.

Just when Hobert was about to wait for the opportunity again, he found a group of Loen soldiers in the valley, searching forward with great vigilance.

Hobert brought Bing to the front of them, creating the illusion of a chance encounter.

Of course, meeting the Archduke of Loen and the Archbishop of the Church of the Night Goddess in such a place sounds a bit unbelievable.

However, Hobert used his "charm" ability, which made them favor Hobert so much that they did not notice this problem.

This group of soldiers is led by a captain named Egbert, a Sequence 7 "Interrogator". He looks to be in his twenties, very strong, and has a capable face.

"I didn't expect to meet the Archduke and the Bishop here." Young Egbert smiled and said: "With the blessing of the goddess, our operation will be completed smoothly."

Hobert twitched the corner of his mouth: The goddess was once the "goddess of misfortune." I deeply doubt that she can bless "successful completion of the mission."

Hobert looked at the other 12 team members. They all had good equipment, and they were all veterans. The commander was talking to Hobert. They had been clearly dividing their work and guarding the surroundings. In addition, there were three other members among them. For Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 Beyonders.

He asked, "What is your mission in the mountains?"

While asking questions, he looked at the soldiers again. His spirit told him that something seemed wrong here, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Under the influence of "charm", Captain Egbert did not hide anything. He pointed to the top of the mountain and said: "There is a secret watchtower over the two mountains. It is responsible for observing the situation in the sea, and then reporting the observations via telegraph. information arrived.

"This watchtower provided a lot of valuable information for the battlefield on the northern front. However, about a month ago, the watchtower was discovered by the enemy. After several rounds of fighting with the Fusac Army, we finally gave up five days ago. Got there.

“But just two days ago, we actually received another distress signal from the watchtower.

“It is possible that soldiers were forced to hide in the forest during previous battles, and now they do not know that we have abandoned that place.

“After we sent the order to retreat by telegraph, the other party sent another distress signal. We suspected that their telegraph machine might be broken and unable to receive the telegram.

"So the command headquarters ordered 12 of us to go pick the other party back up."

Hobert felt something was wrong again, which made him realize that there must be something wrong with this mission.

He glanced at these young faces and thought of the wailing soldiers he saw in the trenches just now.

Hobert took a deep breath and said to the guests: "Let's accompany them to the watchtower first and let me know as soon as there is any new sighting information."

Generally, after there is a sighting report, it will be reported to the angel of the Church of the Night Goddess in the form of prayer, and then the angel will notify the guest.

Bin was stunned for a moment, but immediately nodded and said, "Okay."

Hobert asked Captain Egbert: "You just said, in which direction is the watchtower?"

"It's in that direction." Egbert pointed out a direction: "We have to climb over two peaks."

But Hobert smiled and said, "You remembered wrongly. Look, isn't the watchtower right in front of us?"

He "distorted" the surrounding space, and the scenes on both sides of everyone flashed back. In an instant, he "crossed" two mountain peaks and arrived in front of a watchtower with obvious traces of a battle.

The soldiers were stunned. Hobert had "tampered" with their thinking and made them feel that the process was very reasonable.

"It's so fast." Egbert smiled slightly: "Originally we planned to arrive here in the evening, but we didn't expect to arrive in the morning."

Hobert glanced at the watchtower and suddenly waved his hand towards it.

Bang bang bang~

Suddenly, several gunshots rang out from the watchtower, but without exception, the bullets fired from there were "tampered with" and flew into the sky.

Egbert made a gesture, and he and the soldiers immediately assumed a fighting stance and cooperated very skillfully with each other to enter the watchtower.

Hobert did not follow in, but looked at the surrounding environment. This place is on the downhill side and surrounded by dense woods. It is indeed difficult to find this place.

The color of the watchtower must have been specially processed, and is similar to the color of the surrounding gray-green leaves. There are also several military tents under the trees and a circular position around it.

Bin suddenly said: "There is something wrong here."

Hobert smiled and said, "You feel it too?"

At this time, the battle inside ended, and Hobert and Bincai entered the watchtower.

Upon entering the tower, Hobert first saw a corpse wearing a Feysac Empire uniform.

Arriving on the second floor, there were two Fusac soldiers squatting on the ground, holding their heads in their hands.

Not far from them, there was the body of a Fusac Empire soldier.

Captain Egbert is interrogating the prisoners: "What is their mission?"

There was a soldier who understood Fusac language and was stumbling to translate.

When the two soldiers heard that someone understood Fusac, they immediately shouted the same sentence loudly.

Egbert saw the interpreter was stunned and asked: "What are they talking about?"

"They said... that there are evil spirits among us and asked us to leave here." The translator said with some surprise.

Egbert sneered: "Yes, I am the evil ghost of the Fusac people."

Saying this, he picked up his rifle and shot a Feysac prisoner to death again, and blood spurted on the other prisoner's face.

The captain asked: "Ask me again, what is their mission?"

The last prisoner looked at his companion dying in front of him. He was slightly stunned and began to describe their mission.

It turns out that the Fusac Army also received a distress signal from here. They thought it was from the survivors who had been sent to attack here before, so they sent a small force to rescue them.

But after arriving here, many comrades disappeared inexplicably.

Just as they were preparing to evacuate, they encountered Egbert's team.

Egbert nodded with satisfaction, and another soldier locked the prisoners into the room downstairs, ordered two more soldiers to dispose of the bodies, and finally ordered three soldiers to search the watchtower and surrounding positions in a triangular formation.

Hobert just watched quietly, with no intention of participating in the whole process.

After the order was given, Egbert smiled and said to Hobert: "Grand Duke, the disappearance of these Fusac soldiers must be caused by their comrades hiding in the woods.

"Let's take a short rest and plan to divide into three teams to go around..."

"Ah~"

Suddenly, a piercing scream came from upstairs, interrupting Egbert's words.

Egbert drew his pistol and rushed upstairs. When he saw the scene upstairs, he was slightly startled. He was obviously the first one to rush up, but Archduke Hobert and Bishop Bin were already looking at the man rolling on the ground. warrior.

He was stunned for a full second before he remembered to look downstairs. Downstairs were other soldiers who came to check the situation, but no trace of the Duke or the Bishop was seen.

Egbert breathed a long sigh of relief. It would be scary if there was a Duke and a Bishop below.

In front of Hobert, the soldier writhing in pain was one of the three people who had just carried out the search mission.

The other two men stood at a loss with their guns on their faces with frightened expressions. In front of them, there was a large military telescope with a stand.

After a brief inspection, Hobert determined that the soldier with a painful face was cursed. He said to the soldiers rushing over: "Get out of the way!"

Saying this, he made a pulling motion towards the soldier and "donated" the curse on him to a tree outside.

The big tree trembled violently and made a painful "creeping" sound.

Hobert snapped his fingers and "tampered" with the ignition point of the hydrogen gas around the tree, causing the fire to instantly surround the tree and end its pain.

The soldier lying on the ground seemed to have survived a disaster, his eyes were straight and he was panting.

Hobert asked the other two soldiers, "What just happened?"

A soldier said: "Bob looked outside with a telescope, and suddenly he fell to the ground and screamed."

Bob was referring to the soldier who had just been cursed.

Hobert stood up and looked outside. The third floor of the observation tower was a semi-open structure. It was almost as high as the tall tree crown, but because it was on a downhill side, the ground in front was lower. The view is unobstructed in the direction of the sea.

The Minsk Mountains run roughly from east to west, and this is the northernmost point of this mountain range. At the foot of this watchtower is the sparkling sea.

With Hobert's eyesight, you can see the end of the Sea of ​​​​Jiang from here. There are many military supply ships of the Fusac Empire traveling to and from the north and south sides of the Sea of ​​​​Jiang.

And on the entire hillside, you can see the dense woods.

If you ignore the curse just now, this is a very nice scenery.

At this time, the soldier named Bob had recovered. Egbert asked him: "What did you just see?"

"I didn't see anything." Bob said with lingering fear.

Egbert frowned: "Didn't you see anything?"

"Yes, it's dark." Bob said, "It's like the telescope is blocked by something."

"Is it covered?" A soldier wanted to go to the telescope to check, because there was no obstruction in front of the telescope.

"Don't go there!" Hobert and Egbert reminded at the same time.

The two men then glanced at each other, but their eyes quickly drifted apart.

Egbert cleared his throat and said: "No one should approach the telescope, there..."

Just as he was saying this, he saw Hobert take a step forward and reach the front of the telescope, then pick it up and look out.

It all happened so fast that it was already too late when Egbert wanted to stop it.

But Hobert was not cursed like Bob. Instead, he looked very calmly for a while and then looked ahead.

The sun is shining brightly in front of us, and the lake looks sparkling in the sunshine.

But in the telescope, it was pitch black and there was nothing.

After confirming the scene in front of him, Hobert confirmed that there was no cover on the front of the telescope, and then he moved to the telescope again, but his eyes were still dark.

Just as he was about to look away, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared in the darkness, looking at Hobert.

Hobert immediately felt the pollution and curse, but he didn't take it to heart, because he had been very cautious from the beginning and gathered a thin film-like "Order Crystal" in front of him.

All extraordinary attacks are blocked by the "Order Crystal".

Those eyes looked at Hobert for about a second or two, and then disappeared into the darkness after probably realizing that they couldn't hurt Hobert.

Hobert looked away and looked at the telescope again.

That darkness is not necessarily in front of the telescope, it may also be in an unknown space.

There is a certain connection between this telescope and the darkness, so using this telescope you can see the dark scene in an unknown location.

Hobert thought for a while before saying to Egbert: "You are right, no one should approach this telescope... Well, no one should come to the third floor."

After everyone returned to the second floor, Hobert sat on a chair and watched Egbert begin to assign soldiers to search the surrounding area.

After the soldiers left, Bincai whispered: "There is something wrong with these soldiers."

"There must be something wrong." Hobert smiled and said: "If we just come to pick up a few separated soldiers, will an Extraordinary Captain be dispatched?"

Bin said again: "Should we go back now? After all, we still have business to do."

Hobert shook his head: "I didn't notice the curse just now."

Bin was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what it meant.

Hobert said: "Leonid has not left the Minsk Mountains. He may be not far from this watchtower."

As an angel, his spirituality was not aware of the curse just now, which is enough to show that this curse is not simple.

In the Minsk Mountains, Hobert's only known opponent was the angel Leonid. He believed that everything that happened in this watchtower might have something to do with Leonid.

Bin was very surprised by this conclusion, but seeing that Hobert didn't seem to be joking, he chose to trust the angel's judgment.

Hobert said to the guest again: "You keep an eye on the surrounding area. I'm going to use some special means to see if I can find the source of the curse."

Bing nodded and followed Hobert's instructions to remain vigilant around him.

Hobert lowered his head, pretending to think intently, while the spirit body entered the "Land of Disorder", sat on the "Iron Throne" and looked around with "real vision".

Under "real vision", I saw a layer of light green mist in the forest surrounding the watchtower.

These fogs don't seem to be too dangerous, but they can block the "real view"! It also blocks the spirituality of being an angel to a certain extent.

Hobert realized that unless it involved his own danger, he might not be able to have a premonition in advance.

He was about to retract his gaze when he suddenly noticed something was wrong. There seemed to be a strange aura spreading around him.

Suddenly, he saw the corpses of several Fusac soldiers crawling out from a tent not far away, their bodies covered with soil and their faces showing signs of decay.

The Loen soldiers must have searched those tents just now. Didn't they find these corpses?

Hobert waited a moment and discovered that the bodies were destined for a watchtower.

The soldiers guarding the prisoners downstairs had already noticed something unusual and started shooting outside in a hurry.

Only then did Hobert return to the real world. By this time, Bin had already noticed something strange. He came to the window and waved his hand downwards. The corpses of the Fusac soldiers were "requiemed" and immediately fell to the ground.

Hobert stood up and glanced at the corpse downstairs: "I didn't feel the power of the 'Death' path."

Bin frowned and said, "Me too."

Because gunfire rang out, the team that went out to explore quickly came back.

After Egbert understood the situation, he ordered everyone to return to the second floor.

"There... there are corpses over there!" At this time, the last returning soldier ran back and shouted with a look of horror.

Egbert said gloomily: "We'll talk about it upstairs first."

When they came upstairs, everyone did not shy away from Hobert and Bing and began to discuss the problems they were facing now.

Egbert did not ask about the corpse first, but first asked the soldier who returned last: "Didn't I order you not to be separated? Why did you leave the search team?"

The soldier said with a sad face: "I, I just went to the toilet and found that Bruce and Sack were gone.

"I hurriedly followed the footprints, but... in a place where the ice and snow had not melted, I found three rows of footprints in front of me.

"I was still wondering at the time, why were there three rows of footprints?

"After running for a few steps, I finally found three people wearing Loen military uniforms. After catching up, I cursed a few times and asked them why they didn't wait for me?

"But they didn't seem to hear my voice and were still searching forward seriously. I went up and patted one of them on the shoulder and realized something was wrong.

"His shoulders were cold, bone-chillingly cold!

"The soldier slowly turned around. He was a stranger. The other two people also turned back to look at me. They were also strangers!"

Having said this, the soldier who finally returned to the team still had a lingering look of fear on his face, while the other soldiers also felt a chill on their backs and moved closer to each other unconsciously.

The soldiers who finally returned took a deep breath before continuing: "Their faces were covered with frost, their eyes were full of whites, and there were some signs of rot on their cheeks!

"They... they opened their mouths together and said something to me..."

At this point, the soldier suddenly paused.

Egbert quickly asked: "What did you say?"

"They..." Something was wrong with the soldier's tone, as if he suddenly became very arrogant: "They asked: Why do you want to start a war?"

Pa~

After saying this, the soldier was like a rotten tomato that had been crushed and exploded to pieces.

Everyone was frightened by this scene and backed away, but they soon discovered that there seemed to be a transparent barrier in front of them, blocking the light green flesh.

Egbert glanced at Archduke Hobert behind him, and saw him raising his hand slightly at this time. He immediately understood that it was the Duke who protected them, and there was obviously something wrong with the light green flesh.

Everyone waited for two seconds before accepting the fact that a comrade was dead. The expressions on everyone's faces became very solemn.

Egbert took a deep breath before saying: "No one should touch the flesh and blood, Bob, go find some kerosene and burn the flesh and blood."

"Yes." Bob immediately went to look for kerosene.

Egbert went to question the other two subordinates: "Bruce, Sack, you didn't realize that a comrade was missing?"

Bruce took a deep breath with some fear before saying: "No, Captain, Sack and I always thought that we were three people acting together."

The back of Sack's head felt numb: "Yes, boss, we have always been three people operating together."

Egbert asked: "Who is the third person?"

"Yes..." The two soldiers fell into a state of confusion. They found that no matter how much they thought about it, they could not remember who the third person was.

At this time, Bob found kerosene, poured it on the ground and lit it on fire.

However, Hobert flipped his hand and "twisted" the flesh, flesh and flames on the ground to the ground outside.

Egbert suddenly realized that if these flesh and blood were burned, some harmful gases might be formed.

Then he thought: Why didn't I think of such a simple question?

"Everyone, I think we should have a talk." Hobert suddenly said: "You have some special tasks, right?"

Egbert hesitated to speak.

Hobert and Egbert looked at each other: "Just say it, I will help you avoid the ability to 'keep secrets'."

"Yes." Egbert said cautiously: "We do have a special investigation mission.

"In the previous battle for this watchtower, an officer was seriously injured and returned alive. He told everyone that the Fusac people released a demon here..."

Egbert discovered that he could actually speak fluently about the secret mission they were performing, which gave him a new understanding of the level of Archduke Hobert.

Hobert asked: "Is this a metaphor, or is this a real 'evil'?"

"It's a metaphor!" Egbert, obviously knowing what a real devil is, continued: "We did receive a telegram.

“The other party said that he was a survivor of the previous battle, but he was seriously injured and could not go back, so he asked for support.

“He also said that he knew the true identity of the demon, which was the key to defeating the Fusac people, and asked us to send someone there.

"In order to prevent it from being a trap by the Fusac people, we only sent a small force to explore.

“If there are really clues to defeat the enemy, that would be great, but if it is really a trap by the Fusac people, it would be easy for a small force to break through.

"After interrogating the prisoner just now, I even concluded that there are really clues to defeat the enemy here."

Hobert nodded slowly. The captives just now said that they had also received a distress signal, but the team members disappeared inexplicably after they arrived.

This sounds very much like the Fusac Empire released some terrifying power here, but in the end, this terrifying power was controlled by the injured Loen soldiers.

So the Loen soldiers used that power to attack the Fusac soldiers who occupied this place, sent a distress signal to their own side, and attacked Fusac's reinforcements.

That's why Egbert couldn't wait to search around, hoping to find the injured Loen soldiers as soon as possible.

But because of the curse that Bob received and the tragic death of this soldier just now, there may not be any "injured Loen soldiers" here, but that force deceived the Fusac reinforcements and Loen reinforcements.

After listening to Egbert's description, Hobert said: "I think we should call the prisoner up and question him again."

After Egbert nodded, two soldiers pressed the prisoner up.

Hobert once again used his "charm" ability, which greatly increased the Feysac prisoner's favorable impression of Hobert. Then he asked: "What did the Feysac prisoners release here?"

"Nothing has been released!" the prisoner said after hearing the translator's words.

Egbert and the others looked at each other, and at this moment they realized that both the Loen Army and the Feysac Army had been deceived by that strange force.

Hobert nodded slowly, and then asked: "Then why do you want to support here?"

This time the prisoner told the truth: “After our people completely occupied this place five days ago, they originally wanted to blow up the watchtower to avoid being used by the Loen people again.

"But the soldiers of a company that occupied this place suddenly seemed to have disappeared. They did not report whether they had blown up the tower or not, and they did not return to the team.

"Just the day before yesterday, we suddenly received a call for help, saying that a soldier saw something he shouldn't have seen using the telescope on the third floor and needed support from a special investigation team.

"So our team came here, but they only stayed here for one night, and there were only 4 people left in the 15-person team."

Hobert asked, "How did they die?"

The prisoner was suddenly stunned: "They...some of them have died long ago."

Hobert frowned and was about to continue questioning when the prisoner suddenly arrived again: "By the way, that person asked me to ask you: Why did you start a war?"

Pa~

Just like before, the prisoner exploded like a rotten tomato that had been crushed hard.

This time Hobert was clearly mentally prepared, but he discovered that the force that prompted the prisoner's death showed no signs! I still can't save him!

The atmosphere in the room became more solemn. Hobert raised his hand slightly, and the light green flesh on the ground was "twisted" to the pile of unburned flesh and blood outside.

Under Hobert's "tampering", the flames on the ground outside also began to burn the flesh and blood of the captives.

Then, He said to Egbert and the others, "I think your mission should end early. Go back and tell your superiors that Archduke Hobert was too late to prevent their tragic death. I don't think your superiors will blame you." .”

Egbert was slightly startled: "We..."

"Yes," Hobert said: "If you continue your mission, you will definitely die miserably."

He said to his counterpart: "You also leave with them."

Bin was slightly stunned, but immediately said: "Okay."

Hobert glanced at the people in the room, smiled slightly and said: "Okay, 1 archbishop, 1 captain, and 11 soldiers are all here. I will send you..."

"Wait a minute!" Egbert suddenly said seriously: "Grand Duke, are you mistaken? There were 12 of us when we came. One of us died just now. Including me, there are only 11 of us!"

Hobert was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood why he felt something was wrong when he first met this team.

At that time, Egbert obviously had 12 subordinates, and adding the captain, the number was 13.

But Egbert said, "The command ordered 12 of us to pick up the other party." In other words, in their understanding, there were always 12 people, but this team has 13 people!

After Hobert was stunned for a while, he suddenly smiled: "Things are getting more and more interesting."

He said to the guest: "You come behind me."

The archbishop was a little frightened at this time, and hurriedly came behind Hobert, saying in his heart: We can't let them go! Who knows what he will bring back?

Egbert and the others suddenly became distrustful of the people around them and unconsciously distanced themselves from each other.

Hobert said to them: "Don't panic, I will pray to the power of the goddess of the night to help us identify which one is the extra person!

"Everyone, please pay attention to see if anyone disrupts the ceremony? See if anyone wants to leave suddenly!"

Without giving everyone a chance to object, Hobert immediately used "tampering" with force and air to "fix" all 12 people in place.

Then at His signal, he asked Bin to bring a table and arrange candles.

Hobert began to recite: "Higher than the stars, the goddess of night, longer than eternity...

"I encountered a problem while completing your task and asked for your communication and help.

"Is everything that happened on this watchtower related to my mission?"

A peaceful force descended on the watchtower, and the somewhat anxious soldiers also felt at peace.

In the corner not far away, half a bottle of red wine suddenly flew to the table, and the cork was uncorked and fell. The red wine flowed out, forming letters, and finally spelled out a word: yes.

Hobert nodded, his previous hunch was correct.

Then he was a little strange, why did the goddess of the night communicate with him in this way?

Obviously in the previous exchange, the goddess of the night was able to talk to him.

After thinking for a while, Hobert realized that the goddess of the night was doing it for others to see, maybe for Bin, or maybe for this group of soldiers.

Of course, it is more likely to be shown to Leonid, who is most likely hiding in the dark, to make this "Glory One" realize that the goddess of the night is currently concentrating on "doing more important things", and even such important communication is only Very little power can be projected here.

Hobert asked again: "Where is the telescope connected to?"

The red wine on the table transformed again and formed another word: starry sky.

Then more red wine poured out, forming a sentence: The sealed object found the right time and suddenly lost effective control, which ultimately led to this crisis.

At this time, Hobert realized that in addition to snatching the sealed artifact, his mission was to resolve this crisis.

He added: "Please help me identify which of them is the culprit of this crisis."

After a pause of two or three seconds this time, the red wine started to move again: There is a way to tell the difference, and let them report their names and birthdays in turn.

Only then did Hobert think that the "creator's" "real vision" would be blocked by the light green mist, and the goddess of the night might not be able to directly see who had the problem.

And even if she can see it, the goddess of the night has to pretend not to see much at this time.

However, the true God is different from the false God. Even if He does not directly explain who has a problem, he can still get a solution to the problem through some other methods.

This reminder from the goddess of the night made Hobert's thinking suddenly clear. In mysticism, a person's name and time of birth are closely related to the spiritual world.

These two pieces of information can be regarded as someone's "file number" in the spiritual world.

In general divination, these two pieces of information are used to "check files" in the spirit world. In divination, in slightly more complicated divination, such as astrolabe divination, dream divination, etc., birthdays and names are very important information.

But if there is something wrong with one of them, there must be something wrong with his connection to the spirit world!

Then when he says his name and birthday, the spirit world will automatically restore a lot of tampered information, and it is possible to find clues to solve the problem.

So after thanking the goddess of the night and cleaning up the altar, Hobert said to the 12 soldiers: "You clearly state your names and dates of birth in turn! Starting from the left!"

At the same time, Hobert uses the ability of "correlation" to pay close attention to the connection between them and the spiritual world.

The first soldier said: "Bruce Will, born on February 28, 1329."

Before Hobert could say anything, Bob said in horror: "You...Bruce is dead. He died two months ago!"
