Fenerport Kingdom, Jeffrey Collar.

Through the form of gifting, Hobert got the income of this tarot meeting, and he earned a total of 8,300 pounds from this tarot society's intelligence transaction, as well as four extraordinary materials! There is also a £100 rental fee for the "Mental Spoon".

This income is the highest in the history of the Tarot Club! Of course, having such a "performance" has a lot to do with Gardelia, who spends money without blinking.

Excluding the 800 pounds paid in advance to Gardelia the "Hermit" and the money for the "Atlantan Flower", Hobert received 7,600 pounds, and the "Little Sun" was paid with a delay as usual.

However, the income of the gold pound has made Hobert very satisfied, and most of the payment for the fifth batch of building materials has been collected.

Hobart decided to go on the extra mile and contact Miss Sharon tonight to see how well the temperance faction could have. How many extraordinary features can I buy? Based on this, he then decides whether to go around the sea or not.

In the afternoon, under the care of Hobert, Hill was successfully promoted to Sequence 8 "Provocateur", and came to the stage where this path was relatively deadly.

However, of course, Hill did not dare to provoke Hobert, and while he restrained his spirituality, he asked Dennis on the side: "Are you still washing the knight's feet?" Do you secretly cry when you think of your father? ”

Dennis's face flushed and he rushed over to fight Ciel.

Schill laughed twice and quickly said goodbye to Hobart and left.

After a while, Dennis explained to Hobert that he was not crying secretly, but he couldn't understand why his father had suddenly left the three brothers behind.

Hobert took a sip of tea: "provocateur" is really the best at poking other people's lung tubes!

After dinner, Hobert said hello to Forth and went to the side hall to change into Rune-style clothes.

Now there is Freya practicing words in the study, and Furth in the bedroom, and Hobert has all the secret operations in the hall.

After changing his clothes, Hobart changed his appearance into a straight nose bridge and high cheekbones with a distinctly Rune-style face, and after a "transit", he came to a corner not far from the Bar of the Brave.

After a brief look, it looks like an ordinary bar.

Hobert tightened his trench coat and pushed open the door to the bar with a cane in one hand.

It's lively and messy, but the Brave Bar looks a little better than the bar in the East End, at least the customers here have no patches on their clothes, shoes and some have walking sticks.

Hobert squeezed to the bar, but it was the time when the bar was crowded, and he certainly didn't want to wait any longer, so he stepped forward and squeezed a drunkard out of his seat, and then placed eight copperpennies on the bar: "Bring me a beer." ”

"What do you want?"

"It's a little mellow." Hobert rarely came to pubs and didn't know much about what beers were in the bars of this era.

So the bartender poured Hobert a glass of "Priest Beer" worth 6p, which was considered a mid-range product in beer, but sold very little at the Valorant's Bar.

It is said that this beer was originally brewed by a missionary of the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom for the faithful, and because of its mellow taste and character, it gave a poor town a regular source of income.

Later, this beer brewing method was widely spread in the countries of the Northern Continent, and in honor of the missionary, everyone called it "Priest Beer".

As for the remaining two pennies, the bartender naturally thought it was a tip, for he could tell at a glance that the gentleman had not come to drink.

Hobert didn't hide this, after all, he was here to find someone, not to act in a drama, so there was no need to hide his purpose so deeply.

He took a sip of his beer and said, "I was introduced by Detective Sherlock, looking for Mr. Marić." ”

The bartender was slightly stunned, then smiled, "I'm sorry, Mr. Marić hasn't been here for a long time." ”

Hobert sighed, "Okay then, I'll come back in a few days." ”

With that, he drank all his beers in one gulp and left the noisy bar with his cane.

In the manner Klein had said, Hobert found a cab on the street: "Go...... Let's go to the pier. ”

For a moment he had a feeling that he didn't know where to go, he hadn't been back for a long time, and he was already a little stranger to Beckland.

A few minutes after the carriage walked out, Hobert felt a sudden change in the atmosphere in the carriage, as if it made people suddenly heavy, and they would never be happy again.

Opposite him was outlined a lady with pale blonde hair, rather delicate in countenance, but unusually pale, in a long Gothic court dress.

Hobert sighed in his heart, Miss Sharon has a feeling of "abstinence", and Emlyn's kind of otaku should fall immediately when he sees it, right?

"You're a friend of Sherlock?" A beautiful, somewhat cold, like some distant voice asked.

"Yes, I've been on a few expeditions with him." Hobert told the truth.

Miss Sharon gave Hobert a few brief glances, "What's the matter with me?" ”

"I've got a batch of extraordinary traits to sell, I wonder if you're interested?" Hobert recalled the conversation with Dopheis, and there was no foreshadowing to talk to such people, so he cut straight to the point.

Miss Sharon, who didn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations, calmly asked, "What are the sequences of each?" How many copies are there? ”

The reason why she asked directly was because she concluded that the other party's attack must be the extraordinary nature of the "prisoner" approach, otherwise there would be no need to search for her whereabouts through "Sherlock".

In Sharon's opinion, with Sherlock's endorsement, the man in front of her is at least not her enemy, so she simply gets straight to the point.

This made Hobert, who often dealt with Bishop Simpson, Jonathan and other old fritters, suddenly feel like he didn't know how to keep the conversation going.

He cleared his throat unnaturally and said, "41 copies of the extraordinary characteristics of 'prisoners', 36 extraordinary characteristics of 'madmen'......"

Hobert didn't mean to sell all the extraordinary traits in his hands in one go, that would be too staggering, and it was seriously inconsistent with the number of enemy deaths that occurred in the Southern Continent.

But extraordinary properties are not bread after all, and even if Hobert has reservations, dozens of copies are stacked and sold together, which still sounds amazing.

Hobert deliberately paused at this point, ready to take in Miss Sharon's surprised expression.

But to his disappointment, Miss Sharon still didn't show any extra emotion: "Are you kidding me?" ”

Hobert spread his hands: "What's the point of me coming to you on a big night to make such a joke?" ”

Miss Sharon looked at Hobert for a long time with delicate, unemotional eyes: "Are you a believer in the 'Founder'?" ”

It's not hard to guess, because in recent times, only the Founders have been able to gain so many extraordinary traits at once in that war.

Hobert didn't intend to hide it: "Yes, in some ways, we can be allies.

"Now the question is, I don't know how many extraordinary traits the temperance can eat? I think you're going to need them a lot. ”

He said to himself: If you tell me that the "temperance faction" has only two members at the moment, then sorry to disturb me. Oh yes, and we can talk about trading the demigods' extraordinary properties.

Miss Sharon looked ahead and seemed to think for a moment before saying, "I can't give you an answer right away, can you start by saying, how many extraordinary characteristics do you have in your hands?" ”

"Okay." Hobert said: "In addition to the extraordinary characteristics of the two sequences I just mentioned, there are 28 parts of 'werewolf', 18 parts of 'living corpses', 7 parts of 'resentful spirits', and 1 part of 'puppets'. ”

This time, Hobert saw that Miss Sharon's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard "puppet".

Hehehe, finally a little bit of a reaction.

Hobert felt that after Sharon was promoted to "puppet", most of the potions would probably be digested immediately, and her current state felt like she was playing in advance.

But soon, Miss Sharon regained her composure, and said in a voice that seemed somewhat distant, "How much are you going to sell each?" ”

Hobert had already thought of the price: "£280 for 'prisoner', £580 for 'madman', £1,300 for 'werewolf', £3,200 for 'living corpse', £6,000 for 'resentful souls', £50,000 for 'puppets'!" ”

Miss Sharon calmly counteroffered: "The price is too high, I didn't need so much money at the Beckland Extraordinaire party to buy the corresponding extraordinary characteristics." ”

Hobert smiled: "'Werewolves' and below can accept counteroffers, I know that the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Prisoner' path are indeed not in high demand, but I have the corresponding Orthodox Church pathway, and the price they give is slightly higher than what I just offered."

"But I'd rather sell to the 'temperances' because we have a common enemy."

Hobert finally felt the atmosphere of talking to normal people, business, of course, bargaining with each other.

After a few seconds of silence in the carriage, Sharon said, "I'm sure I'm going to buy that extraordinary property of the 'puppet', but you're going to give me two weeks to raise funds."

"As for the extraordinary characteristics of the other sequences, in the evening of three days, you come to the Pub of the Brave again, and we will still meet in this form, and I will give you an answer."

Hober nodded: "Okay, then...... Hey, hey, I'm not done yet! Why are you leaving! ”

He looked at the empty opposite: "Originally, I wanted to say that if you are short of money, you can pay in installments." ”

Also, selling the extraordinary characteristics of the demigods for 50,000 pounds is a huge discount, and Hobert originally wanted to negotiate with Sharon for this price to sell her extraordinary characteristics, and after she became a demigod, she would participate in a battle between the Balk family and the "Rose School".

Hobart smiled, forget it, let's talk about it when we meet next time.

The carriage went out for another stretch, and Hobert asked the coachman to stop.

After paying the fare, Hobert went to the corner and returned to his territory with "travel".

While changing clothes in the side room, it occurred to Herbert that since Sharon was going to buy the extraordinary properties of the other sequences, it meant that the "temperance" was more than just Marić. However, Beckland should only be members of these two "temperance factions", and they may be in charge of some extraordinary transactions in this metropolis like the "representatives in Beckland" of other forces.

Back in the bedroom, Furth hadn't slept yet, she put down the magazine in her hand: "I heard that you are going to war with the other side tomorrow?" ”

Hobert let out an "um" and said while taking off his trench coat: "I've endured those demons for a long time!" ”

After the war letter was sent, this matter was not a secret, but many people thought that the leader was at war with the Teutonic Viscount, and only a few people such as Firth and Schill knew the inside story.

"I'll go to war too!" Foirth played with the ring in his hand and said, "Just try the ring you gave me." ”

Hobert shook his head: "It's too dangerous. ”

Furth pushed Hobert's pajamas to him: "I don't have any other skills, and there are not many people who can compare to me in the ability to escape." ”

Hobert smiled while hanging the clothes he took off on the hanger: "It's not impossible, I'll find someone to protect you tomorrow, and then give you a pistol, and give you a very useful seal below the demigod, it shouldn't be too dangerous." ”

He simply got into the bed without pajamas, and Furth nudged him: "To get down to business, I haven't heard about the balance of power between us and us!" ”

Hobert pretended to be serious and said: "When to do something, you should do something at night, as for this extraordinary battle, it is tomorrow's business, tomorrow's talk."

"Hey, the buttons of your pajamas are still so hard to unbutton."

……

In fact, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, on the demon side on the west shore of Full Moon Lake, there is a known opponent who has a demigod, 5 Sequence 5, and the number of Sequence 6 should reach more than ten.

On Hobbert's side, although there is Jonathan on the demigod side, the combat power of Sequence 5 is only Hobart and Simpson, and Sequence 6 is only 5 people.

Among them were Helen, as well as 2 members of the Tudor family, who belonged to the Special Operations Department formed by Hobert.

The other two were captains of the "Druids" under the command of Bishop Simpson.

In order to reduce the gap between friend and foe, and to ensure the victory of this battle, Hobart also invested in blood and issued a level 2 seal to every member of the "middle sequence" of the Special Operations Department!

He also lent the Simpson 3 Level 2 seals.

The 5 Level 3 Seals, as well as the 3 Level 3 Seals that Hobart had just inherited from Rex, were also handed down.

However, the gap still exists, the demons have been operating across the lake for thirty or forty years, and there are countless Sequence 7 and Low Sequence Extraordinaires, so they can only rely on tactics and a reinforcement army brought in by Hobart to close the gap.

Early the next morning, Hobart made the final pre-war mobilization in front of all the members of the war, and then, under the command of Bishop Simpson, all the combatants had breakfast and went on the offensive on the opposite shore by boat!

Foirth was among them, and she didn't expect that it would be Archibald, the new valet who had been following him for the past two days, that Hobert had sent to protect her.

The manservant looked weak, not very powerful.

However, Forthth quickly put the valet behind her, and she looked across the lake, somewhat excited about the battle that followed.

Archibald was even more excited, because Hobart allowed him to turn the enemy Extraordinary into his secret puppet to his heart's content.

The absence of a misty wolf is its most vulnerable, and if Archibald hadn't known enough, it would have been an extraordinary material by now.

If there are one or two anti-beating secret puppets in front of the "blocking knife", Archibald's strength can be greatly improved!

There were a total of 38 Extraordinary Men who launched a frontal offensive, which was all the extraordinary strength that Jeffrey had so far led the Immortals.

This power would be terrifying if placed elsewhere, but it was different in the South Colson region, where an extraordinary power as evil as the Blood Cult could exist in the light.

And they don't take the official extraordinaire seriously at all, unlike the cat-and-mouse games in other places, here is a duel between two tigers!

Bishop Simpson, who was the commander-in-chief of the frontal attack, stood at the bow of the ship and quietly looked at the opposite side.

There was no one on the docks, or no one as far as the eye could see, and the whole Teutonic town was as quiet as the realm of death.

Simpson took a deep breath, and just as he and Hobart had expected, the demons had already set up a trap and were waiting for the official Extraordinaire to get into.

In fact, Bishop Simpson was also a little nervous, because the enemy was strong and weak, and Hobert's tactics didn't know if it would work.

Soon, the ship completed the process of docking.

As everyone landed, Bishop Simpson shouted, "Quickly pass through the town of Teuton, our goal is on the other side of the town."

"The time has come to rescue the people and demonstrate the power of the official extraordinary!

"The first squad is at the front, Kaul, you come to break off, pay attention, you have to pass through the Teutonic town quickly!"

The first team is the team led by Hobert's cousin Angus, Helen's team is naturally the second team, and the Kaul team and the Domis team of the Mother Earth God Church.

In terms of strength, Angus' squad is the strongest of them all.

At Simpson's urging, the official extraordinaries quickly entered the Teutonic town.

The map of the town immediately came to everyone's mind, and since the other day, everyone was forced to look at the map of the Teutonic town for half an hour every day, and at this time the previous preparations came into play, and everyone knew which direction to go.

Among the members who walked in the front, they suddenly fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing all over.

This is a curse that the demons have long laid out on the streets!

A "cure" of Simpson fell, and one of the people's symptoms was immediately relieved.

Helen in the back grabbed the other person and "took away" the curse from the other.

Helen was carrying a seal seized by the Balk family from the "Rose School", and the main attack of this seal was curses, and it also had the ability to lift some simple curses.

When it comes to the power of curses, the "prisoner" path is even more proficient.

"Carry these two people and pass quickly!" Faced with the enemy's sneak attack, Simpson was relieved.

A member of the first team said, "The seal on my body can make me sense where the enemy is, everyone follow ......."

It is also a seal seized from the "Rose School", which can make the wearer extremely spiritual, and can become a werewolf for five minutes, and can maintain a certain amount of sanity.

But after five minutes, you will lose your mind, and after six minutes, you will completely become a werewolf without reason, and you will never be able to change back into human form.

"Pass quickly!" Simpson said loudly: "Hobart gave me the right to disqualify you from dividing the spoils of war, whoever doesn't listen to my command, while the ship hasn't gone far, hurry back!" ”

Although the people of the first team were very unconvinced, they could only swallow their anger for the time being.

"Attention!"

Helen, who was in the middle of the group, shouted a reminder, and a series of light blue fireballs that smelled of sulfur slammed down on the entire team.

Everyone immediately reacted, and Angus, at the front of the line, shouted, "No burning fires here!" ”

As a result, after those fireballs entered a certain range, the flames immediately became smaller and almost extinguished, revealing the magma-like core in the center of the fireball.

The two "druid" squads cooperated skillfully, and four members stepped forward and took out charms and threw them in front of everyone: "Life!" ”

Four fiery red trees immediately appeared in front of everyone, blocking most of the fireballs.

The few remaining fireballs were also frozen by Helen's frost.

A group of people looked at each other, all smiling, although the whole team looked like three piles of loose sand, and Bishop Simpson could only restrain them briefly, and after fighting together once, the opposition between them seemed to be less obvious.

Simpson's new order was not as stiff as before: "This morning Lord Hobert gave the captains of the four squads a detailed description of the tactics of this operation, and I think it is very feasible, each captain must restrain his subordinates and quickly pass through the town!" ”

"Yes!" The four captains shouted together!

They then encountered several more sneak attacks, but their purpose did not waver, and they carried the wounded through the town quickly.

And the "Doctor" in the "Druid Squad" will also immediately step forward to restore the teammate's combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

After ten minutes of trotting-like marching, with five wounded, they finally passed through the town of Teutonic and came to their destination, the big tree where many corpses were hanging.

Bishop Simpson immediately ordered: "Helen, you come to protect the physicians and astrologers, the melee team members go to the outermost periphery, Angus you are in charge of the left wing, Kaul you are in charge of the right wing, and Domis you are in charge of the front!" ”

After a simple formation, the "demons" in the ambush in the town probed their brains one after another, they had a very bad premonition, some of the "demons" had already guessed Simpson's intentions, and therefore a little anxious.

Simpson pulled out the knife that had been hanging from his waist, it was orange-red and looked extremely sharp.

He swung his blade at the corpse-laden tree, and a fireball shot out from the tip of the knife and slammed into the tree.

Call~

The tree immediately burst into flames!

The "demons" who were ambushing in the town rushed out one after another: "Protect the sacred tree!" ”

Simpson breathed a sigh of relief, and the situation was once again following the trajectory that Hobart had predicted, and he ordered loudly: "Hold your breath and wait for them to come to the door!" ”

Quite a few people burst out laughing and made their final preparations for battle!

Hobert hasn't made a move at this point, but for now, his tactics have been very successful.

The key to this battle is actually to "break the game", and the extraordinary power led by Jeffrey is already in a weak position, but it still needs to attack the side, which will be a loss.

If you just go to the other side, there will be no chance of victory.

The last time he came to the Teutonic Viscounty, Hobart noticed that the followers of the "demon" had great respect for the tree, and they had to dismount and bow down when they walked here.

Since it was a sacrifice to the "high-level demons", this tree was also very important to the "demons", so Hobert's tactic was to quickly pass through the Teutonic town, which must have had a small ambush, and go directly to the big tree to burn the tree.
