Chapter 4: Misfortune is the norm in an extraordinary world

Klein the Fool: What kind of monster am I pulling in? He also knew it was Russell's diary? Could he be too...... No way! To borrow a phrase from Russell the Great, I am the son of fortune in our time! No, no, you can't have a fluke mentality, you have to try him if you have the opportunity to see if he has crossed over. Then again, if it's really a "fellow", it's more trustworthy.

"Justice" Audrey: He knew it was a diary! He wouldn't be able to read those special symbols, would he? Are there so many people in the world who understand these symbols? Or did he have the relevant occult knowledge? Then he must be from a family of Extraordinary, or some organization of Extraordinary.

"The Hanged Man" Alger: I should have thought that the new member who would be recognized by Mr. Fool must have something special. I questioned Mr. Fool just now, but fortunately my doubts did not show it.

A few seconds later, their second scrutiny of Hobart ended, but by this time they had stopped despising Hobart as they had been at the beginning of the party.

Next came the time for the "Fool" to read the diary, and Hobert also wanted to take a look, because Russell had so many diaries that he could no longer remember what exactly the diary that appeared at the party was.

After the "Fool" finished reading, "Justice" asked: "Mr. Fool, can you popularize the knowledge of 'playing' and 'digesting' to the new members?" ”

The "Fool" glanced at Hobert and saw that the other party was not new: "I have received your payment, you can popularize it, and you can also use this knowledge to make an equivalent transaction." ”

He didn't want to grab candy from children: "But the new members should know this knowledge." ”

At this time, Klein and Audrey had a similar guess, believing that the "Emperor" should be a member of some extraordinary family or extraordinary organization.

Even so, the "Emperor" is not an extraordinary person, but it is not normal to know so much extraordinary knowledge, just imagine who would let a family member or a member of an organization who is not an extraordinary person learn the knowledge of an extraordinary person?

"Justice" is also aware of this: "Mr. Emperor, do you know 'playing' and 'digesting'? ”

"As Mr. Fool said, I know this knowledge." Hobert smiled bitterly, "But I don't need this knowledge yet, because I haven't taken potions yet." ”

"Justice" didn't feel anything, but "The Hanging Man" was shocked again, before he felt that he knew a lot and could make a difference in the extraordinary world.

In particular, the ignorance of "justice" has made him feel good about himself all the time.

But today Hobert poured a basin of cold water on him, he had the same idea as the "fool", it was not normal for an ordinary person to know so much about the knowledge of the extraordinary.

Hobert added, "Thank you Mr. Fool for allowing me to join this party, I hope to find out here why I'm gradually going crazy." ”

He briefly recounted his experience in the past month: "If you can help me find the 'cause', I can use some knowledge of extraordinary people that everyone absolutely does not know to make an equivalent trade."

"But let me tell you beforehand that I wasn't born half a sequence9; I've thought back countless times that I hadn't been exposed to anything extraordinary that could contaminate me a month ago.

"Of course, it could have been contaminated unknowingly, but if that were the case, I should have been in contact with the same extraordinary object more than once, and I should be aware of it."

The "Hanged Man", who had wanted to regain his self-confidence, fell silent, and the reasons he could think of were all in Hobert's description.

"Justice" weakly asked: "Mr. Emperor, may I ask, what is 'Half Sequence 9'?" What do I need to pay for this question? ”

Hobart smiled: "I can answer this question for free, it should be regarded as a gift to you, and it is also a reward for your kindness." ”

"Justice" happily said: "Thank you for your generosity. ”

"The so-called 'half sequence 9' refers to the fact that some people are born with extraordinary qualities." Hobert explains: "Most of the times this happens when both parents are powerful extraordinary, or one of the parents is a powerful extraordinary.

"In the process of childbirth, there is a certain probability that the extraordinary traits of the parents will be inherited to the newborn, and the more extraordinary traits of a certain sequence in the parents, the greater the probability of inheritance.

But this is not a lucky thing most of the time, because that child is born only to choose the extraordinary path that his parents have passed on to him.

"And when he was a toddler, it was good that his parents could help him control extraordinary traits, but if parents couldn't help him control them, how could a baby have the ability to control extraordinary traits? There is a high probability that he will go crazy since he was a child. ”

"Justice" nodded: "Thank you for your answer." I didn't expect such an unfortunate thing to happen in the transcendent world. ”

Hobert lamented: "Misfortune is the norm in an extraordinary world. ”

Just like me, eating hot pot and singing, suddenly going crazy!

At this time, the "Fool" suddenly tapped the long bronze table with his index finger and said in a supreme voice: "What has happened to you is a curse!" ”

This conclusion was the result of his discussion with Old Neil today.

Hobert's mind opened up for a moment: yes, there is still the possibility of a curse!

But then the question arises, who would curse an orphan who has never seen his biological parents since he was a child? If it's an adoptive father's political enemy, it's also a curse for Donna or Taryn, right?

Hobart thought about it again: maybe this disaster was really provoked by the biological parents who had never met him, and that their death at a young age was not normal in itself, and that it was a curse on their children by the enemies of the biological parents?

He thought that he could have a good talk with his adoptive father this afternoon, and he could take the opportunity to ask some information about his biological parents.

Hobart said to the "Fool", "This has given my investigation a new direction, how can I thank you for the answer?" ”

"Russell's diary," said the "Fool," "or information about the House of Antigonus, even if I knew it." ”

Hobart said: "I can pay you now, Antigonus first appeared in the era of the Solomon Empire, he established his own kingdom in the Honachis Mountains, and since then the Antigonus family has been on the stage of history.

"In the Fourth Age, Antigonus had a good relationship with two great men, but I can't say them here for the time being.

"I'm sure Mr. Fool can know who those two big men are, and I don't have to worry about them here, but if it's outside, just talking about them will lead to disaster.

"So for the sake of the safety of Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man, we'll talk about them when they're strong enough."
