Chapter 507: Captain Dunn decides to stay
Foirth on the side couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Jonathan, I'm curious that since you want to get some protection, why don't you go to the Orthodox Church?" ”
"Because the 'Gate' that we believe in is sealed by one or more of the Seven Gods." Jonathan explains, "Almost everyone in the clan has a premonition that one day Mr. 'Gate' will break free from the seal and return to the real world, so it is impossible for us to believe in our enemies. ”
Furth nodded, "I see." ”
She said to herself: "I know this, Mr. "Door" is sealed by the goddess of the night and the lord of the storm.
Then she thought again: The members of the Abraham family of the Gnosis Society are stronger than the members of Teacher Dorian, but they are also more extreme.
But Hobart thought: "I knew before that the Gnosis doctrine believed that spirit is the essence of human beings, and the body is just a cage that binds the spirit, and that knowledge must be obtained through spirituality, so that the spirit can gradually be freed from the body, and then go through the layers of tests of the stars, and finally break away from the material world, return to the purest and truest self, and obtain eternal salvation."
But I hadn't studied it before, and at first glance this doctrine seemed like a reference to the "Rose School", or the "prisoner" approach. But if you think about it carefully, this doctrine really doesn't have anything to do with the Witch Church.
"Jonathan's words just now reminded me that they have always believed in Mr. 'Gate', so the teachings of the Gnostic Society can also be seen as a description of the growth process of the extraordinary person in the 'Gate' path, or simply a description of Mr. 'Gate'."
"Your previous remarks were very deceptive!" Jonathan smiled and said to Hobert, "We have convinced a large number of members of the Gnosis Society, and even many members of the Witch Church are convinced of your theory!" ”
Hobert's previous remarks about another explanation of the "witch" path potion and his offer to move closer to the Orthodox Church are indeed very deceptive.
Jonathan made full use of this, which is equivalent to screening out a group of members who are unwilling to continue to live secretly, which are like-minded members of Jonathan and others.
Finally, Jonathan said meaningfully: "The only thing we lack now is a protection. ”
Hobert, of course, understood what Jonathan meant: Can the gods you believe in give us such protection?
He said, "I'll report it." ”
The implication is: I can't be the master of whether to accept you or not, and I will report this to the "founder".
Jonathan said "um": "I'm waiting for your news." ”
He finished eating the rabbit meat in his hand, took out a towel and wiped his hands carefully before getting up to say goodbye.
Hobert sat by the campfire and fell silent, considering whether to accept Jonathan's gang.
If you accept them, you will be able to have at least three more demigod-level combat power, but you will also have to face the anger from the Witch Church, and it is likely that an angel-level battle will break out again.
It would be easy to accept it, but Hobert felt that it was a pity, it was three demigod-level combat power!
Another question is, I wonder if the "founder" can insulate the curse of Mr. "Door"? This has to be tested first, and it would be embarrassing if Jonathan came with a team and found out that the "Founder" couldn't help them at all.
After some thought, Hobart felt the need to embrace this force.
For the "evil gods" who are related to the rulers, sooner or later they will have to establish their own kingdom, and when the extraordinary power of the country is not supported by the Balk family alone.
It is necessary to unite all the forces that can be united to form an extraordinary force of one's own kingdom.
If you go to the Orthodox Church to dig the foot of the wall, it is purely looking for death!
The only way to unite the descendants of angelic families like the Abrahams is to have some problems.
For Hobert, solving these problems is very risky, but they are also an opportunity to help them solve their problems in exchange for their allegiance.
In the end, Hobert decided that helping is helping, but don't rush this matter, you can wait until you become a demigod.
After a few bites of rabbit meat, Hobert and Furth returned to the tent they had set up to rest.
Firth wanted to know about Hobert's beliefs, but she knew that it should be a very private matter, and that it might be difficult for Hobert if there was a request for secrecy like the Tarot Society.
So she decided not to ask, and with what she knew about Hobart, he would say what she could tell herself.
It wasn't until the two of them were making out that Foirth put aside the problem and became focused.
Making out in the wild gives the two of them a whole new experience, allowing both of them to enjoy the joy of the moment with all their hearts.
After some passion, the two hugged each other and chatted as usual.
Hobart said suddenly: "As for my true faith, I didn't mention it to you before, and that's because I swore that I wouldn't reveal that great being to members outside my family unless I was on a missionary. ”
Furth nodded slightly: I knew it was so.
"But it's different now." Hobert bowed his head and kissed Firth on the forehead, "You are a member of our family, and for some time to come, you may need the protection of that great being." ”
He said, "You should have heard of the 'Blood Emperor', right? That's right, it was the 'Blood Emperor' who established the Tudor Empire in the Quaternary Age.
"Father Christine is a descendant of the Tudot family, and now you know how Angus's cousin came to be, right? That's right, all members of the same family. ”
Firth was a little surprised, she hugged Hobert's waist to feel enough realism: When I was trading the intelligence of the Tudor Empire in the Tarot Society before, I thought that these people and things were far away from me, but I didn't expect them to be very close.
This made her involuntarily think of the "Emperor" at the Tarot meeting, and when she thought about it carefully, she felt that the "Emperor" and Hobert's figure seemed to be quite similar.
However, it doesn't feel the same, Hobart makes people feel enthusiastic, focused, and occasionally a little bad, while "The Emperor" gives people a mysterious, erudite, and lofty feeling.
Then she thought: I remember the "Emperor" said that he had many colleagues in the Tudor family, and that Hobert would not believe in the "Founder", would he?
Foirth probably couldn't have imagined that the reason why Hobert said that at that time was to make his words more credible at this moment.
Just listen to Hobart continue: "Our family believes in a great deity called 'The Founder'......"
Furth hugged Hobert's arm and tightened it again: Sure enough!
"But don't bring it up in front of the rest of your family just yet, because it's not something you can talk about in public." "You have heard the order of the King's messenger," said Hobert, "that I will leave the realm on Saturday or Sunday of this week for the celebration of the Foundation of the United States.
"When my father came to Jeffrey Town before, he reminded me that something big was going to happen in Fenerport City, and I guess it was probably going to happen on the foundation of the country.
"Since two weeks ago, I have given Philippe to set up a company to divide and reorganize the properties in the territory to deal with possible accidents.
"After this inspection, you have to start looking at the accounts of these companies, and although you are not allowed to do the accounting, you must also know what to expect.
"Be careful during your stay in the realm, I will leave Archibald to protect you, and I will rearrange the 'Traveler's Gate' for you, and you will make sure to escape back to Beckland at any time.
"If you encounter an unsolvable difficulty or danger, you pray to the 'Maker' and ask for His help."
Furth was a little worried: "You just go to a banquet, what danger can you have?"
"Could it be that your investment in the territory is too big to make the royal family jealous? If you can't give them these properties, it's just all the money, and there's no need to risk it. ”
"In the eyes of the royal family, my investment in the territory is probably the most inconspicuous of them." Hobert patted Folth on the back and reassured, "Don't worry, with my father here, I won't be in much danger, but I guess my barony may be lost." ”
"Lose it, just lose it, it's just this title." Furth was a little anxious: "How can I help you?" ”
"Just sit in the territory for me." Hobert smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a magical item of 'travel' that you don't know, and you can't trap me anywhere." ”
Foirth was a little relieved at this time: "I really want to be promoted quickly, so that I can help you share some of the pressure." ”
Hobert pinched Furth's nose, "Didn't you participate in the battle against the demon before?" Has helped me a lot. ”
He added: "Don't worry, after going to Fenerport City, I will go to see Bishop Simpson first, and at a critical time, the Mother Earth God Church will also provide necessary help and protection, you don't have to worry at all." ”
Foirth realized that Hobert had been preparing for this moment for a long time, which made her feel a lot more relieved.
At the same time, she secretly motivates herself to be promoted as soon as possible: then she can help Hobert, and he will only consult me if he has such a problem, instead of leaving all the pressure to himself.
In Hobert's comforting voice, Furth fell asleep with his heart in his mind, and Hobert fell asleep immediately.
Towards midnight, Hobert was woken up by the sound of prayer.
Who is so sick?
Secretly cursing, Hobert pretended to be anxious to urinate, came to the tent and entered the "country of disorder", and saw a strange star in the waterhole in front of the "Iron Throne".
Spreading the spirituality through, this time a man dressed in a rune-style palace guard costume prays to himself.
This time Hobert was not as surprised as last time, he realized that someone was indeed testing him, and the other party was probably someone from the royal family of Rune, was it George III?
Hobert pondered for a moment and decided to ignore it, because if the other party just tested himself like this, it would be impossible to find him, so don't worry about it for the time being.
Hobert, who had returned from outside the tent, meditated for a long time before falling back asleep.
The next day, Forth finally understood why the people loved Houbert so much, and if it weren't for his actions in the past six months, I believe that the surrounding areas of Jeffrey Town would be as poor as these mountain villages.
At noon, the group returned to the manor where they had set out in the morning.
It was only then that Hobert took in the scenery of the estate, with low hills as far as the eye could see, undulating ground covered with green grass and dotted with wildflowers.
Among the flowers and plants, all kinds of insects are already busy, there is no magnificent scenery, and there is no such a novel landscape, but seeing such a scene is very refreshing.
Foirth asked the servant to lay the chaise longue on the grass, and she basked in the sun and watched the spring wind and clouds rise and turn, and watched Hobert galloping on horseback and playing with his playfulness.
It's a great place for horseback riding, and on horseback, you have the illusion of conquering the land in front of you.
After riding for a while, the gloom in Hobert's heart was swept away, and he said to the guards and servants, "Go back at three o'clock in the afternoon." ”
After speaking, he lay on the chaise longue next to Folth: "This manor must be repaired well......"
Furth suddenly said, "I want this manor!" ”
Hobert smiled, "It's yours, and when I come here as a guest in the future, you should treat me well." ”
"I'm not kidding."
"I'm not kidding." Hobert smiled: "I'll let Philip go through the formalities when I go back, strip it from the property of the lord's mansion, and then transfer it to your name." ”
Foirth smiled sweetly: "Hobert, you are so nice. ”
Hobert smiled and pinched her face, Furth rarely made such a request, and of course he had to try to accommodate it.
Furth looked at the blue sky and took Hobert's hand: "I really want to stay here forever and never go anywhere." ”
"In the future, we will see more beautiful scenery than here......"
"No," said Furth suddenly, "the scenery here is enough for me, and I will be greedy if I see the more magnificent scenery you speak." ”
Hobert was slightly stunned, and turned his head to look at Folth: "We can't stay here forever. ”
"I know you can't stay here forever." With a happy smile, Firth said, "But I'll stay here, and I'll miss you all the time, waiting for you to come back." ”
She glanced at Hobert, "Hobert, not everyone has the same ambition as you, and I don't.
"Actually, for me, it's already satisfying to be able to live with you in the territory, but I know that I can't be a constraint on you.
"So I just hope that I can live in such a beautiful place with peace of mind, and when I miss you, you just miss me and can appear in front of me."
If it weren't for that curse, if it weren't for wanting to help Hobert, she wouldn't have had much motivation to advance.
Hobart smiled "um" and said, "You can live how you want." ”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and continued to enjoy the wonderful time.
However, such a time was short-lived, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, the group set out on their return journey, and returned to the lord's palace in the evening.
After dinner, Archibald and Schill reported to Hobert the results of their first crackdown, in which they had managed to defeat a gang of thirty bandits on the east bank and capture a lot of booty.
Just like the bandits in Jeffrey's territory before, these bandits are the rulers of that territory in a way, so they will have a lot of property.
Hobert inquired in detail about the course of the engagement, and Schill gave a detailed report, saying that Archibald was experienced in leading troops into battle and was very accurate in judging the enemy.
How to lure the enemy? How about an ambush? They were all laid out very clearly in advance, and the enemy was dizzy, and with only seven or eight wounded, twelve of the enemy were killed and more than twenty were taken prisoner.
The more than 20 people were sent to the construction site, and they were greeted with the fate of working as coolies for the rest of their lives.
Hobert finally reassured Archibald of the bandits, and asked Schill to call the two soldiers who had performed well in the battle, and in addition to rewarding them, he also promised to make them extraordinary.
Hobert told them only three paths: "Hunter" and "Warrior" and "Sailor" for them to choose from.
……
On Friday morning, Eply, who had made an appointment with Hobart in advance, took two servants and carried a wooden box the size of a coffin to the side hall of the front yard.
After closing the door, only Hobert, Epally, and the wooden box on the table were left in the side hall.
Hobert opened the lid of the coffin-like wooden box, and inside lay a tall man with a straight nose.
Exactly like Dunn Smith, the only difference is that the hairline is not high, and the hair looks thick.
Hobert smiled: "Healed his old hair loss." ”
Ai Puli was slightly stunned: "No wonder, when this body was just refined, the amount of hair was really not much, I thought it was a mistake in my operation, the reason why such thick hair was because I found a way to make them grow later." ”
Hobert pinched his chin and said, "This is the gospel for middle-aged men." ”
Then he asked, "Is it enough to fuse the soul with this body?" ”
"It takes a 'Life Stone' to consume every year." "And this body is also aging, probably lasting sixty or seventy years.
"At that time, even if he uses the 'Life Stone', it will not have any effect, and he can only refine a new body, provided that his spirit body is not weakened, otherwise he will not be able to re-merge.
"In addition, the process of integration is up to me."
Hobert nodded, "Wait a minute, I'll go and bring his spirit and extraordinary characteristics." ”
Walking quickly to the study, Hobert was a little excited to sacrifice the "psychic cup" to the "land of disorder".
He came to the back of the "Iron Throne" and opened the sarcophagus hidden behind it.
Lying inside were the spirits and spirits of Captain Dunn, who were sometimes illusory and sometimes solid.
Hobart has been sealing the sarcophagus with the "power of order", so there is no loss of spirituality in the spirit body.
Hobart took the sarcophagus to the side of the waterhole in the main hall and erected the sarcophagus, Hobert picked up the "psychic wine glass", he suddenly became a little nervous: what if Captain Dunn is not willing to resurrect? If......
Forget it, wake him up first.
Infusing spirituality into the "psychic wine glass", invisible ripples spread out in the main hall, and Captain Dunn in the sarcophagus suddenly opened his eyes.
He was a little dazed at first, and then he saw the clear waterhole, the wide hall, the huge bronze gate on one side of the main hall, and the tall Iron Throne.
Finally, Dunn's eyes looked like deep lakes at Hobert in front of him.
"Hello, Captain Dunn," Hobert smiled, "It's great to see you again." ”
Dunn's memory is still stuck in the action in Tingen to prevent the true creator from coming, and he looked down and did not notice the wound on his body: "I remember, I feel like I'm dead." ”
Hobert said in his heart: If you say at this time, "Captain, you are mistaken. "I wonder if I can get by?
"You really didn't have any vital signs." Hobert decided to tell the truth: "I took it upon myself to preserve your extraordinary traits and astral spirits. ”
Dunn pinched his chin and pondered for a few seconds before asking, "So, ...... we act?"
"You saved the city of Tingen."
"No, it's us, we saved the city of Tingen." Dunn looked at Hobert, "You seem to be more than just a supernumerary member of the Nightwatcher team. ”
"That's right," Hobert smiled, "but I have to make it clear that I am a dependant of the goddess......"
Right?
Then Hobert said confidently: "That's right, I am a member of the goddess, and I have directly received instructions from the goddess. ”
Hobert could feel that Dunn was very wary of himself.
Dunn asked, "So, Mr. Dependent, this is obviously not somewhere in the Church of the Night Goddess, is it?" ”
"It's not." Hobart replied, "I ask a great being to help me protect your astral spirit from spiritual loss. ”
"Why?"
"Because I don't want you to die." Hobert spread his hands: "Or you shouldn't die, you saved a city." ”
"Is that all?"
"Klein and Leonard don't want you to die either, and Ms. Daly, she doesn't want you to die even more." Hobert barely smiled: "I don't know if you can imagine that Ms. Dali is heartbroken and borrows alcohol every day to kill her sorrows. ”
Dalie was indeed heartbroken, but it is not known whether Hobert had used alcohol to kill his sorrows.
Dunn fell into a long silence, pondering, and weighing, until at last he seemed to have made up his mind suddenly: "But I'm dead." ”
He looked at Hobert, let down most of his guard and smiled, "I've seen too many extraordinary people who don't want to accept their own death, and I don't want to be like them, so ......"
Hobart was slightly stunned, but then he changed his persuasion strategy: "Captain Dunn, the world needs you!"
"And I found an 'ancient alchemist' who has refined a body with a lifespan of sixty or seventy years for you, you will not become a resentful spirit, and your state will be as normal as before.
"Oh, by the way, I also specially told the 'ancient alchemist' to cure your hair loss."
Dunn didn't pay much attention to the last two sentences, but asked with a smile: "I'm not a big person, why does the world need me?" ”
"You are wrong, Captain Dunn, you are the vanguard of justice, the protector of the people, and the sword of punishment for the dark forces." Hobert said emotionally:
"There are only a few righteous forces in this world, and your death will be a great loss to the righteous forces, and more evil forces will breed.
"Yes, this world may not need you, but the good people who have been cornered by the dark forces need you, and the ordinary people who have been persecuted by the dark forces need you!
"Please stay and help them."
There was silence in the hall again, and after a while, Captain Dunn suddenly asked, "What do you need me to do?" ”
Hobert took a deep breath, his colleagues and friends couldn't get Dunn to decide to stay, and his lover didn't make him decide to stay, he stayed for the justice in his heart and the people who needed his help.
