Chapter 5: Curse in the Blood
"Fool" Klein smiled bitterly: I really don't know, but it's okay not to know, this is a mysterious world after all, and it is possible to bring disaster to just talking about certain people or things. The "Emperor" knows a lot of secret knowledge, so it's the right thing to pull him in.
"Justice" Audrey: It's terrible, it's terrible, is this the extraordinary world? To talk about some people is to invite disaster.
Alger the "Hanged Man": The Emperor's knowledge of the Extraordinary Man seems to be very advanced, but fortunately I didn't show any contempt for him before.
Hobert continued: "Later, the Antigonus family became a big family during the Four Emperors period because of their support for the rule of the Blood Emperor, but after the fall of the Blood Emperor, Antigonus was hunted down by the gods and lost control for some reason, and the kingdom he established was also destroyed.
It is also rumored that Antigonus is still sleeping in the palace of Hornachis, but no one can confirm this.
"After that, there was no news about the Antigonus family, and I believe that even if their descendants escaped the pursuit of the gods, they were already some collateral lines, and they would not be able to restore their former glory at all."
The other three all fell into varying degrees of silence, the so-called "being hunted by the gods" shocked them, although they all believed in the existence of the gods, they still had the urge to cover their ears when they heard about the gods' deeds.
Klein also noticed that Hobert was saying that "Antigonus was hunted by the gods", not that the House of Antigonus was hunted down, so could it be that the person who founded the House of Antigonus was the same person who was hunted down by the gods?
As for the possibility that Antigonus was still asleep in the palace of Hornachis, this was very valuable information to Klein, almost explaining the origin of the whispers in his ear when he became extraordinary.
Hobert was also a little helpless when he saw that everyone was silent, he had already said very carefully, not only did he not say that Adam and Amun, the two angel kings, did not say that Antigonus was a descendant of the ancient gods and the "little brother" of the goddess of the night.
He didn't expect that even the information that had been processed by himself would still shock everyone so much.
The "Hanged Man" has even wondered if the "Emperor" is like Mr. Fool, and is also some evil god who is awakening? Otherwise, how could he know so much secret information?
So he asked with the idea of giving it a try, "Mr. Emperor, where can I get the potion recipe for the 'Wind Greeter' besides in the Storm Church?" How do I get paid? ”
"I haven't figured out exactly what the reward will be, so I'll owe it first, and I'll ask you for it when I need to." Hobert didn't plan to give the "Hanged Man" a greeting gift:
"As for the value of my message, I can ask Mr. Fool to testify."
The "Hanged Man" was stunned, but he didn't expect the "Emperor" to really know other ways to obtain the "Sailor" way potion: "No problem!" ”
Hobert asked, "Have you ever heard of the elves?" ”
"I've heard of it," the hangman said, "but it's a race that perished a long time ago." ”
"Yes, the elves don't exist now." Hobert said: "But don't underestimate the mythical creatures of ancient times, maybe some of them can also use some extraordinary items to retain their will.
"Of course I don't recommend you to go looking for such an extraordinary object, because it's dangerous.
"I think you should know that the elves have the same extraordinary ways as yours.
"Also, as far as I know, there are many elven ruins on the sea, and I think you should be able to find what you are looking for there."
"The Hanged Man" fell silent, and it has to be said that Hobart offered him a new, feasible way of thinking.
The "Fool" also fell into deep thought, realizing that in the distant Second and Third Ages, there were many hidden extraordinary events that took place, so that the current era is still affected by those extraordinary events.
"Justice" couldn't suppress her curiosity and wanted to know about the information of ancient mythical creatures, but Hobert had just given her a "meeting gift", so she was embarrassed to continue asking.
After more than ten seconds, the "upside-down hangman" said: "Thank you for your answer, I will pay you the equivalent in the future." ”
Then came the exchange of information, and Hobert sat in his chair in silence until the "Fool" announced the end of the meeting.
Back to reality, Hobert thought back to the meeting just now, and "Mr. Ke" provided him with a good idea.
At this time, it suddenly occurred to him that as long as he tried to mix with the protagonist, it would definitely be beneficial, who would let the family have a halo.
Usually in the afternoon, after class, Hobert would play cricket with his classmates for an hour or two, or practice fencing together, and go swimming on hot days.
Hobert has lamented more than once that in an era without the Internet, college students are much healthier for their spare time arrangements.
But today, because of his mother's advice, Hobert took a taxi home after school.
At the time of the first crossing, in the spirit of saving a little, Hobert used to take a public carriage home for several days in a row, after all, it cost 6 pence, and the rental carriage cost between 2 and 3 slough (depending on the level of the carriage).
However, when the adoptive mother found out about this, she severely criticized Hobert, because Hobert's behavior would make neighbors or Hobert's classmates think that the Jeffrey family was going bankrupt. Or it will make others think that the Jeffrey family is too harsh on their adopted son.
Hobert had no choice but to obey the values of this world and bury the concept of thrift deep in his heart.
As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, the housekeeper took Hobert's schoolbag and said, "Young Master Hobert, please come to the study to talk." ”
"Okay." Hobert and the butler came to the door of the study, and the butler knocked on the door and made an announcement.
After obtaining permission from his adoptive father, Christine, Hobert opened the door and saw his adoptive father sitting behind his desk.
He looked like he was only in his thirties, he didn't have a beard, and even though he was smiling, his whole body still exuded a strong sense of majesty.
Before Hobert crossed, there was a bit of a gap between him and his adoptive parents, and after the crossing, this gap became even greater. All the while, Hobart called Father and Mother, not like Donna and Taryn called Father and Mother.
Christine gestured to the chair across from the desk, "Sit down." ”
Hobert felt that he was happy to obey his adoptive father's orders, which is why he considered his adoptive father to be extraordinary.
Kristen asked, "I've heard you've been on a lot lately, and you've been having some insomnia, and you're going to show some crazy expressions inadvertently?" ”
Hobert was stunned: "I've tried to hide my inner madness." ”
"There are some things that you can't hide if you want to." Christine sighed, "It's been a long time since we've talked about your biological father, right?" ”
"Yes." Hobert didn't expect that his adoptive father would take the initiative to talk about his biological parents, which saved him from having to find a topic to ask.
Christine said: "There is a curse in your family's bloodline! ”
