Chapter 423: The Circular Exploration Encountered by the Little Sun
As soon as Hobert learned about the Nohar in his study, he heard prayers from the Land of Disorder.
He complimented Colwin a few times, telling him to keep an eye on the docks and not make any mistakes.
After Colwin left, Hobert locked the door, and sure enough, it was Lawrence's sacrifice.
The altar was full of offerings, and Hobert took a brief look at it, and there were actually 3 Level 1 seals! There are mainly 13 Level 2 seals, and 5 Level 3 seals.
Through Lawrence's description in front of the altar, Hobert learned that one of the three Level 1 seals was formed by the demigod imprisoned by the "Bull Demon King" in the previous battle.
The other two, one from a dead sage of the "Rose School" and one from a demigod.
The other sacrifices are all from the enemy's extraordinary properties, most of which are the extraordinary characteristics of the "Prisoner" path, and some of the extraordinary properties of the "Medicine Master" path.
Hobert was not polite to them, waved his hand, and all of them were drawn into the "Sacrifice Gate".
He deserved it, because the "builders" of this battle played the main role.
Lawrence then held a ceremony of Albert's allegiance to the "founder", and Hobert responded briefly, eagerly setting his sights on the large pile of loot.
First of all, he looked at the three Rank 1 seals, and the one he got from the Sage turned out to be a seal in the "wrong" way!
Abilities are: "Can steal conceptual things such as distance, location, etc.; can steal and keep an item and present it when appropriate; You can steal the abilities you want from your target with precision! β
Hobert sighed: Sure enough, it is a level 1 seal, and this ability is simply a "generation difference" from the "Inception Pocket Watch".
However, the negative effects should not be ignored: "It is easy to lose everything, your memory is not very good, and sometimes you even forget that you are in battle; It's easy to lose things, and the more important or valuable things are, the easier it is to lose them; It's easy to encounter the 'wrong' path of the demigods and above extraordinary. β
Hobert suddenly remembered, he remembered that there seemed to be a Sage of the "Rose School" who had met Amon and was stolen by Amon, could it be the Sage who was killed in this battle?
So this seal is good, but it can't be used in the real world for the time being, in case Amon comes to the door one day to collect the coins in the gas meter, there is no place to cry.
Hobert didn't even try to seal the seal this time, he sensed through his spirit that he used the "Discord Nation" to seal the Tier 1 seal extremely limited before he became a demigod.
And even if it is an effective seal, a maximum of two or three Level 1 seals can be carried on the body.
First of all, even if it can be effectively sealed, the negative effects of Level 1 seals are very powerful, and the wielder will often encounter great dangers because of the seal.
For example, the seal in Hobert's hand: forgetting that he was in battle; A strong demigod or above who is prone to the "wrong" path.
Either way, it would be fatal for Hobart now.
The second is that as one's own strength becomes stronger, seals and magical items will gradually become auxiliary items, and if you rely too much on seals, you will put the cart before the horse.
Only in the stage of Sequence 6 or Sequence 7, when the spirituality of the extraordinary person is already relatively strong, and their own strength and extraordinary ability are not enough to make up for their shortcomings, they can equip as many magical items as possible, or some level 2 seals with not very strong negative effects.
At Sequence 5 or above, the need for magical items or seals decreases, and the negative effects of Level 1 seals themselves make it difficult to wear multiple items at the same time.
Therefore, Hobart intends to use these seals received today as the accumulation of extraordinary organizations he has established in the future, and when he may use which seals, he will go to the "country of disorder" to get them.
The other two Level 1 seals are both seals of the "Prisoner" pathway, focusing on curses, possessing a strong physique, and the ability to give the object spirituality.
Of the 13 Level 2 seals, 7 are also seals of the "Prisoner" pathway, 3 seals of the "Corpse Collector" pathway, 2 seals of the "Pharmacist" pathway, and 1 seal of the "Lawyer" pathway.
The seal of the "lawyer" path came from a member of the Balk family who had been killed in a previous battle.
The other 5 Level 3 seals are mainly based on various curses that can cause inexplicable damage to opponents.
The stone platform that Hobert had manifested before could no longer hold these seals, so he simply embodied a larger stone platform to hold the gains of this battle.
He then looked at the Extraordinary Properties, and this time he had received as many as 73 Extraordinary Properties, 66 of which were Extraordinary Properties of the "Prisoner" Pathway, ranging from Sequence 7 to Sequence 3.
It was also the first time that Hobart had obtained extraordinary traits at the demigod and saint levels, and he had 4 pieces at once!
There are also 7 extraordinary properties of the "Medicine Master" path, from Sequence 7 to Sequence 5, and it is thought that there are believers in the "Primordial Moon" who participated in this battle.
Hobert suddenly realized a problem, most of these extraordinary items could not be realized immediately, or he would not take the initiative to realize them!
For example, the extraordinary characteristics of the three "puppets" and the extraordinary characteristics of one "silent disciple", he said that he would not do anything.
It is impossible for Hobert to circulate such strategic-level materials into the hands of the "Rose School", unless they are sold to members of the "Temperance School" like "Miss Bodyguard".
However, the only members of the "temperance faction" that Hobart knows of are Sharon and Marich, and if they are killed, they can sell two extraordinary characteristics.
There must be other members of the "temperance faction", right? Hobart didn't think about such a problem before, but now that he thinks about it, Hobert thinks that the "temperance faction" should be like some extraordinary families, in order to avoid being wiped out by the enemy, so they choose to disperse and hide.
If the "temperanceists" only have Sharon and MariΔ, plus "Miss Messenger", then they are still embarrassed to be called "temperance"? This is clearly a "moderation squad", no, a "moderation trio".
In addition, with the extraordinary characteristics below the demigods, Hobert does not plan to monetize in large quantities until he finds a suitable channel.
After all, now that the Balk family is loyal to them, and they have just experienced huge battle losses, if they replenish the ammunition of the "Rose School" at this time, then this battle will be meaningless.
At present, only the extraordinary characteristics of the 7 "pharmacist" pathways can be sold, but not all of them, Hobert is going to train a few "pharmacists" by himself, and let them sit in the hospital in the town in the future.
However, most of them can be cashed in, because Hobert did not intend to let these "pharmacists" advance too quickly, otherwise it would be difficult for them to continue to sit in the hospital with peace of mind.
Hobert chirped, originally thought that this time the harvest was quite rich, but most of the results could not be realized.
Thinking of this, Hobert himself slapped himself in the head: fool, extraordinary properties are something that retains value better than gold, what is not satisfied? Look at the poor gods...... Ahem, look at Mr. Ke, what kind of life did you live before going to sea? It was only after going to sea that financial freedom was basically achieved.
Hobert's self-consolation made himself a lot more balanced at once.
Then he thought: I can't become arrogant just because I have angel-level combat power, after all, they have a limit on the number of times they can be used, and they must be used carefully before they become angels!
Along this line of thought, Hobert found that he really didn't seem to have anything to be proud of, and the angel-level combat power was pulling the wind, but it could only be used for the prayer of the dependents.
Because those two goods are indiscriminate attacks, they don't give the "founder" face at all!
Hobart needs to use the "power of order" to protect the prayers in the "Land of Disorder".
If he used the angelic-level combat power in the way he prayed for himself, then the most likely result would be that his body would be destroyed, and Hobart would remain in the "Land of Disorder" forever.
Hobert chirped again, he thought he was very powerful and rich, but it turned out to be his own delusion?
It can't be said that Hobert himself retorted to himself: after all, he can still pretend to be forced in front of his dependents, and he can also use them to get benefits from his dependents. It's just that those who are wise people think that the "founder" will not like things like paper money or gold, and will generally only sacrifice some seals that they think are more precious.
Don't you know that the "founder" is a miser, and he is reluctant to cash out the seals?
Eventually, Hobert set his sights on the extraordinary traits again, and his mood grew beautiful again.
β¦β¦
Southern Continent, outside the city of Crowlier.
The members of the Balk family buried the bodies of their companions and said their final goodbyes to them.
Many members have begun to pray to the "Founder" for the dead, and Elliott took the opportunity to announce the honorific name of the "Founder" to everyone.
The members who had just prayed were embarrassed to find that the "Founder" had no "business" about the undead.
On the way back, Lawrence called Elliott over: "Write a letter to the Divine Favor as soon as possible, I would like to talk to him about the direction of the Balk family in the future." β
Commonly known as "debriefing".
Eliot nodded, "I'll write it right away." β
"And." Lawrence admonished, "I have heard that the 'Divine Servant' has some extraordinary characteristics of the 'lawyer' path, and you can ask in the letter if we can buy some." β
For every additional extraordinary characteristic of a "lawyer", the Balk family is one less madman.
Eliot nodded, "I'll bring this up to the Divine Servant." β
β¦β¦
Fenerport Kingdom, Jeffrey Collar.
Hobert, who was resting while lying on his bed reading a magazine from Forthth's room, received two letters from the messenger in quick succession.
One from Elliott and one from Raft.
After the messenger left, Hobert read Elliott's letter first, and the extraordinary characteristics of a group of "lawyers" were of course fine.
He had just counted in the "Land of Disorder", and for such a long time, he had accumulated more than a dozen copies of the extraordinary characteristics of "lawyer", "barbarian", and "bribe-taker".
It's a shame to put so many extraordinary traits there, and now is the time when Jeffrey is short of money, and even if the other party doesn't say it, Hobert will find an opportunity to sell it.
As for discussing the future development plan of the Balk family, we can talk about it in two days, he has consumed too much spiritual energy today, and he really doesn't want to move anymore.
So he asked Allen, who was outside the door, to order the kitchen to make doughnuts, and then went to read Raft's letter.
It turned out that Raft wanted to leave Beckland, but was afraid of being noticed by the royal family, so he hoped that the "divine favor" could help.
Hobert stretched and went to the study to reply to Elliott and Raft.
He and Raff meet tomorrow at 8 a.m., and Elliott at 8 a.m. on Tuesday.
When the doughnut was ready, Hobert summoned the messenger.
Just as Hobart was paying for 6 doughnuts, he suddenly thought, "I remember your last name is Tudor, right?" β
"That's right."
"You are a member of the Tudor family?"
"Yes." The messenger was a little curious: "Why are you suddenly so polite and start using 'you'?" β
Hobert smiled: "I just have a question to ask, you should have participated in the 'Battle of the Four Emperors', right?" β
"One question, three donuts."
"No problem!" Hobert looked at it, and there were still seven donuts on the plate, which was enough.
"I participated in the 'Battle of the Four Emperors'." Courier: "Three donuts." β
"Does that count?"
"Count. Six donuts. β
Hobert made a "stop" gesture and said outside, "Let the kitchen bring two more doughnuts!" β
He took a deep breath and asked, "Do you know the origin, function, and current status of the 'Trenthorst Empire'?" β
"Yes. Nine donuts. β
Hobert stared at the coffin for four or five seconds, and perhaps the messenger was a little embarrassed, and added, "I just know." β
She said, "I also know that the clues to the 'Empire' may be hidden in Santiandro City!" Once the capital of Solomon's First Empire, it has disappeared into the dust of history. β
Hobert wondered: "Why is the clue of the 'Trenthorst Empire' hidden in the capital of the First Empire of Solomon?" I remember when Solomon first fell, the city was gone, right? And the 'Empire' was built hundreds of years later. β
The messenger replied: "As far as I know, the capital of Solomon's First Empire is on the southern shore of the Middle Sea, at the source of the Hornachis Mountains, which was once the territory of the Trensoster Empire.
"The Night Emperor is the 'Inquisitor', and he has a mystical connection to his own territory, which is manifested in knowing some secrets in his own territory, such as knowing where the disappeared capital of Solomon's First Empire is.
"The Night Emperor fell too quickly for the Trenthorst family to be unprepared, and when they were hunted down by the six gods, part of them fled to what is now Desy County in Runne, and it is said that this part later fled to the Southern Continent.
Some of them fled to what is now Rune, where they are said to have taken refuge in the city of Santiandro and have never been seen again.
"These two members took away most of the wealth of the Trenthorst Empire, including the knowledge of the Empire, related scientific and technological achievements, etc., and there is reliable intelligence to prove that the design drawings of the 'Empire' and a lot of related intelligence and information were taken away by the group of people who went north."
She paused and said, "Twelve donuts." β
Hobert nodded again and again, not to mention twelve, he recognized one hundred and twenty!
Sure enough, there is a treasure in the family!
At this time, Alan came back from the kitchen and said to Hobert: "Sir, the kitchen said that there are only thirteen or fourteen doughnuts in one stove, and they have all been brought to you." β
Although the expression of the messenger in the coffin could not be seen, Hobert could clearly feel her frustration.
Hobert hurriedly said: "Give you these seven first, and make up the five that you owe you next time you send a letter, well, add three interest to you, and give you a total of eight!" β
The messenger then left satisfied.
Alan outside asked again: "Sir, do you want to make another stove for you?" β
"No need." Hobart said: "That's what I asked, if not, no, no, no." β
He sat down in the chair behind his desk, thinking about whether he should take some time to go to the county of Makai to find the vanished city.
But that wasn't the matter now, and Hobart went back to his room and continued to read the magazine, though every few lines he pondered about the Empire.
β¦β¦
God's forsaken land, converted to the city of the "fallen Creator".
Silver City's squad set up camp in the leeward and repaired the camp for a while.
When the frequency of lightning gradually became stable, Collin, who sat cross-legged and leaned against the stone pillar, spoke, "Let's go after 50 lightning strikes." β
The members immediately began to make final preparations, and after careful exploration, they reached the outskirts of the abandoned temple.
Inside the temple, they saw the idol of the "fallen Creator" and saw large frescoes.
The mural that Derick saw depicted several figures, including a girl in a long black classical dress, her face blurred, and strange eyes looming around her.
There was also a young man in a pure white robe, his face painted pure gold.
In the lower right is a graceful lady with a rotting face in her arms, black ears of wheat at her feet, squirming spring water of flesh and herbs dripping with pus......
Derrick looked all the way through, and there were six characters in total, the other three being a sea monster, an old man with a wicked smile and a book in his hand, and a giant warrior in tattered armor.
The approximate meaning of these murals is that the six evil gods crawled out of the abyss after the cataclysm, and the "fallen creator" bore most of the guilt and suffering in order to save the world, and as a result, the symbol was eroded and the image was changed.
Continuing to look ahead, Darik saw the text "Rose of Redemption" and a long procession walking on the plains, aiming for a mountain in the distance and a cross at the top of the mountain.
At the very front of the line was a tall, lanky man with long silver hair hanging down his back, and layers of glowing wings on his back.
It's an angel!
Darerick thought back to the information he had received from Mr. Emperor that the "Redeeming Rose" seemed to be an organization loyal to the "fallen Creator".
As for the long procession, Darek thought sadly: they came from the northern and southern continents of what Miss Justice called them, and most of them died on the road, or in the "Godforsaken Land".
After passing through the hall with frescoes and statues of the "fallen Creator", they came to the room behind the main hall, which appeared to be an altar.
"Woo woo woo~"
There seemed to be a cry behind the altar.
It was not the first time for them to carry out the exploration mission, and they did not have much fear, but just stared closely at the dark space in front of them.
Chief Colin unhurriedly ordered, "Derrick, Joshua, you go around and take a look. β
Carrying the animal skin lantern, Daric walked slowly around the altar with Joshua on guard.
As the darkness was dispelled by the light, they saw a dark shadow curled up behind the altar.
Two steps further, they finally saw the dark shadow: it was a child of seven or eight years old.
He excitedly shouted, "Help me, help me!" β
Colin, who was following closely, asked, "Who are you?" β
The kid stopped calling for help, and his expression seemed to suddenly become trance: "My name is Jack!" I'm so hungry......"
Derrick followed in a trance, and when he came back to his senses, he saw the goal of their trip and converted to the city of the "fallen Creator".
Silver City's squad set up camp in the leeward and repaired the camp for a while.
When the frequency of lightning gradually became stable, Collin, who sat cross-legged and leaned against the stone pillar, spoke, "Let's go after 50 lightning strikes." β
The members immediately began to make final preparations,
β¦β¦
Kingdom of Fenerport, the residence of the Teutonic Viscounts.
Viscount Teutonic looked at the telescope for a long time and was sure that it was really a large cargo ship.
Yesterday his subordinates reported to him that this was a large cargo ship coming from downstream, and he still didn't believe it, but with the return of the spies sent out yesterday, he had to believe it even if he didn't believe it.
"Is the channel really cleared?" Viscount Teutonic asked the Grove on the side, "What do you think?" β
"The first person to plant a new variety of crops always struggles to get a good harvest." Grove smiled: "Let Hobert try his best to open the waterway, we just need to keep an eye on what he does, as long as it is successful, we will also do it."
"Let Hobart help us with trial and error, and we'll just grab the results."
Viscount Teutonic nodded with satisfaction, he had recently discovered that Grove, who did not seem to be outstanding in all aspects before, was even higher than the level of the knights and staff in the Teutonic territory, and the key was that he and Hobart were mortal enemies.
Now if there is anything, the Teutonic Viscount will consult with him.
β¦β¦
"Sometimes a person becomes enlightened, just in the blink of an eye." Hobert smiled and said to Colwin, "The easiest way for ordinary people to become enlightened is to put what they want most in front of him.
"He will do everything he can to have, to obtain, whether it is successful or not, this process is a process of enlightenment."
Of course, it can also be called enlightenment.
Colwin bowed his head slowly, feeling that what the lord had said made sense.
Hobert added: "For example, Captain Dean, who wants to lead the investment in Jeffrey, in the big cities of the kingdom such as Fenerport City and Port of Seville, the channels for creating wealth have been nearly monopolized by some people.
"And Jeffrey has just begun, there are endless possibilities, and there aren't many opportunities like that right now."
He paused and said, "In this way, let him wait for me in the main hall at nine o'clock, and I will talk to him personally." β
Colwin, who was in charge of the communication: "Yes. β
Before that, Hobert was going on a trip to Beckland.
After locking the door to his study from the inside, he used "travel" to reach Raft's quarters.
Thanks to [panzer5] for the tip.
