Chapter 40: Mr. A's Party
Hobert didn't know what Hugh and Foirth had discussed, but when they reunited, Hobert felt that Miss "The Magician" was much less hostile to him.
The three of them, guided by the servants, met Viscount Gleilint.
Gleilynt looked at Hobert, "Did we meet somewhere?" ”
"Yes, Viscount." Hobert smiled, "At a banquet I had the privilege of admiring the Viscount on the dance floor. ”
Christine was a brigadier general, and of course she would attend or hold some banquets, and on a few occasions Hobert had met Viscount Glerint at banquets.
However, one of them is a nobleman and the other is a descendant of a brigadier general, and they have nothing to do with each other at all, so they are just familiar.
Gleilynt smiled and said, "I'll definitely notice you at the next banquet." ”
Then he asked, "You, ...... you too?" ”
Hobert smiled, "That's right, I'm also a lover of the occult. ”
Glerint gave a "I see" smile.
At this time, the butler came to the door and said, "Young master, Miss Audrey has arrived." ”
Glerint personally greeted the door: "Dear Audrey, every time I see you, you have a different beauty. ”
Audrey, wearing a hood and cowhide boots, entered the house: "Glerint, your style of complimenting others is becoming more and more like the way those elders praise others.
"Oh, Mr. Hobert, I didn't expect you to be there."
Hobert stepped forward and said, "Hello, Miss Audrey." ”
He explains: "I had just completed a commission with Hugh and happened to be at a party together. ”
Glerint suddenly said, "I remember, you are the lawyer who bailed Miss Hugh out in just one day!" ”
Audrey smiled and shook her head: "Lord Viscount, your memory is also like that of those elders. ”
Everyone laughed together.
After a brief pleasantries, the five young people went together to a party initiated by Mr. A.
The party wasn't as safe as a mercenary club, so Hobert borrowed a hood from Glerint and entered the venue with it on.
Audrey and Gleilynt had come to buy potion recipes, but they didn't make it, and there were no one here to sell "spectator" and "apothecary" recipes.
And Hobert came here mainly to see the quality of the extraordinary materials traded here.
Comparatively speaking, the Extraordinary Materials traded in the Gathering initiated by the Mercenary Club are more high-end, and there are even Sequence 5 Extraordinary Materials, while here the Extraordinary Materials are basically traded at the Sequence 8 and Sequence 9 levels.
Of course, at such a trustless gathering, anything good will usually choose to trade in private.
At this time, the waiter read out aloud a transaction message, which attracted Hobert's attention.
The waiter said, "There is a gentleman who wants to find a way to overcome his past self!" ”
One of the party attendees laughed twice: "Strangling yourself to death may be the best way to defeat yourself!" ”
These words caused many people to laugh.
However, as Mr. A gave them a cold look, the people who laughed were like falling into an ice cave, and they immediately stopped laughing.
After order was restored, the waiter continued to read other transaction information.
Hobert pinched his chin: It's kind of interesting to overcome your past self.
He raised his hand and beckoned the waiter: "I want to make a deal with the gentleman who is looking for a way to 'overcome himself'. ”
Hugh and Audrey were slightly stunned, just now they also heard this transaction information, and felt the mystery of the extraordinary world, is there really a way to defeat their past selves?
And Hobert's reaction surprised them slightly, could it be that this lawyer knows the way to defeat his past self?
Hugh hurriedly reminded Hobert: "Trading here is not a game, and if you cheat other partygoers, you will be punished by Mr. A!" ”
Hobert smiled helplessly: "Am I so unreliable in your eyes?" As he spoke, he looked at Furth pointedly.
Hugh was slightly stunned, yesterday Hobert had shown his very reliable side, yes, it was Firth who kept telling me not to trust him, I really lost faith in him, he was even an extraordinary person in ritual magic.
Audrey on the side suddenly said, "I hope to audit this transaction." ”
In the previous case about Hugh, Hobert made a deep impression on her, and the point was that she was also curious about what was the way to defeat herself?
Oh my God, that's my old self!
How to beat it?
Hobert said to the waiter, "Please convey the wishes of my companions." ”
The waiter agreed, and walked to a room with a closed door, and not long after, the waiter returned: "The gentleman has agreed to your request, please come with me." ”
Hobert was at the front, Audrey followed, Hugh and Glerint followed, and they were also curious about how to overcome their past self.
Furth muttered, "As far as you know." As she spoke, she followed.
There are many small enclosed rooms at the party site, which are designed to facilitate one-on-one transactions among party members.
The transaction partner in the room obviously didn't expect so many observers to come, and his first reaction was to stand up and run away, but after seeing that the waiter and everyone had no malicious intent, he smiled wryly: "This reminds me of a surgical operation I saw before, where there was only one patient on the hospital bed, but there were so many people watching." ”
Hobert smiled, "I'm sorry, your question is complicated, we may have to do some necessary negotiations." ”
The other party was wearing a hood, and only his chin could be seen, but the voice seemed to be very young: "Indeed, this problem is not very easy to solve, I have been to several meetings, but I have not gotten the answer I want, I hope you will not let me down." ”
Hober nodded, "Can you be more detailed?" Why beat yourself? Which aspect of yourself to overcome? ”
He spread his hands: "We all know that it is impossible for a person to go back to the past and defeat his former self, and it is not interesting to do so.
"However, for the occult, there are many explanations for overcoming the past self, such as a certain psychological shadow of overcoming the past self, which is also a kind of victory over the past self."
Neither Hugh nor Glerint understood what Hobart meant, but Audrey and Furth seemed to understand something, and both had thoughtful expressions under their hoods.
The other party immediately straightened his back: "You look very professional, which makes me look forward to your answer." ”
He continued: "There is such a gentleman, who committed many sins in his youth, but suddenly one day the guidance of the gods made his conscience discover.
Since then, he has bid farewell to the life of murder and arson, and has become a priest, constantly spreading the glory of the gods and helping many people to tide over difficulties.
"But his younger self has been tormenting him, so that he can't get the ultimate salvation, so he wants to defeat his past self."
Hobert's first reaction was: the giant bishop of the Mother Earth God Church?
