Chapter 543: Amon's Human Side!
Susie on the carpet carefully "handled" the torn pork in front of her so as not to stain the carpet, and finally, Susie stuck out her tongue and licked the meat scraps into her mouth, commenting: "It tastes really good, I mean very distinctive." β
It glanced at Audrey, who was looking out the window at the mist: "Audrey, you seem to be a little worried, Hobert has been sitting there in a daze since he left." β
"It dawned on me that the world doesn't work around one person." She smiled: "Everyone has their own ideas, everyone has a reason to be respected, and everyone has their own destiny. β
Susie's eyes were a little dazed: "Does every dog have its own ideas?" β
Audrey smiled and said, "Susie, you didn't understand what I meant.
"I mean, if you are too egoistic, you might go against the way the world works."
Susie stuck out her tongue before she said, "At this time, I finally felt that I was a dog." β
It found itself completely unaware of Audrey's feelings.
Audrey smiled and touched the dog's head: "There is one more thing that also worries me. β
She took a deep breath: "Today Hobart suddenly asked me not to give up on him, I can feel his deep worry, could it be that he has encountered some problems recently?" β
Susie said, "You can ask from his friend." β
Audrey shook her head slightly: "He doesn't seem to have the desire to talk about this matter, and his friends may not know about his concerns." β
Furth probably knew this, but for some reason, she didn't really want to ask.
Fortunately, judging from Hobert's expression, it was not too urgent, and Audrey decided to have a chance to talk to Hobart about it in the future.
β¦β¦
After two days of work, news of his work at MI9 spread.
In everyone's opinion, it makes sense to have such an arrangement for him, after all, their father and son have been undercover in Fenerport for so long.
Although Hobert doesn't feel like being an undercover agent at all, in everyone's eyes, it's an undercover life.
When everyone knew that Hobart had a public office and still worked in a key department like MI9, Hobart was invited to more balls in the evening, and to enjoy operas, dramas, and symphonies during the day.
However, Hobert refused on the grounds that he was busy with work, and after he had a public office, he was qualified to refuse certain invitations.
So those invitations were concentrated on the weekend, and a few that could not be shirked, such as the invitations of Earl Hall and Earl Wolfe, could only be agreed.
In the dining room on Friday morning, Elizabeth said, "Mr. Hobert, may I go to the banquet with you in the evening?" β
She smiled and explained: "My parents are back in Tingen on urgent business, so let me attend the evening banquet in their place. β
Elizabeth's mother was the daughter of a down-and-out nobleman in Beckland, and in her generation she had only the title of baron, but she was still a nobleman, and was invited to balls by many nobles.
Hobert had met her mother a few times at the dance in the past few days, but the two of them had different circles, and they were just polite after meeting.
"No problem." Hobert smiled, "Just in time we can be company." β
Dophes, who was standing aside, said, "Earl, we should also prepare a ball, and invite back the nobles who have invited you." β
Hobert frowned: "You look at the preparation." β
"The time is up to you." Dophys felt pressured, but somewhat helpless.
"By late April." Hobert said, "This gives you more time to prepare. β
"I need specific days!"
Hobart April 5th was a good day, but unfortunately it was too late to prepare, so he said, "Then April 22nd!" β
Dophys nodded, "Okay." β
After breakfast, Hobert took a carriage to MI9, and just walked down the stairs on the third basement floor, he saw Salene standing at the top of the stairs: "Director, just now Director Chunas's secretary came to issue an invitation, please go to Director Chunas to taste the coffee newly shipped from the Southern Continent." β
Hobert was slightly stunned: "I know, thank you for the reminder." β
With that, he knocked on the door of the office of Cunas and pushed it open, the structure of the other party's office was the same as that of Hobert's office, and the outside was also a secretary's room.
The secretary of Chunas immediately stood up and said, "Director Hobert, please come inside." β
Smiling and thanking him, Hobert followed the secretary to his office.
Cunas was grinding coffee in a coffee machine, and his generous physique seemed to be ready to pinch a small coffee machine into a discus: "Right away, sit." β
The secretary exited and closed the door.
Hobert didn't sit down, but watched as Chunas grinds coffee: "I can see that the commissioner is enjoying the process. β
"Yes." "I love the process of crushing the beans into powder," said Cunas, as if to convey a deep meaning. β
As he spoke, he began to brew coffee, and after a while, the two of them each had an extra cup of steaming coffee in their hands.
Hobert took a shallow sip: "It tastes so good!" β
It's so bitter, it's so unpalatable, why don't you prepare sugar cubes?
"This is when the coffee is the most mellow." Cunas made a gesture to sit down: "Can help me find my best." β
The two of them sat down politely, and Hobert didn't know what he was looking for him, so he chatted with each other.
Qunas asked, "It's been a few days since you started work, how do you feel?" β
"The food was good."
"Hah!" Chunas laughed and asked, "I heard that you live a frugal life, eating only one soup, one vegetable and one loaf of bread at a meal. β
"That's enough." Hobert said pointedly, "You should also know that you don't have to eat much at every meal. β
In fact, one dish is enough, and the extra food is also wasted.
Chunas smiled and said pointedly, "That's right." β
He suddenly jumped to another topic: "Although the chief director has instructed me not to arrange any substantive work for you, some clubs still want to invite you to participate." β
Hobert knew, getting to the point.
"Do you have time on Sunday morning?" Chunas said, "I'll take you to join the East Bailang Veterans Club. β
Hobert was stunned, the name of this club was a little familiar, and he said, "I'm not an officer who came back from the army from East Bailang." β
"In the beginning, that club was established by East Byron veterans." Chunas smiled, "Your father, Duke Christine, has made an outstanding contribution to the development of this club, absorbing more groups.
"Now the members of this club are many outside of East Bailang, retired or serving officers, and there are very prosperous prospects for development."
Hobert remembered that it was here that Klein negotiated the arms deal with the Southern Continent.
Chunas continued, "I heard that Ling Zun didn't invite you to join this club, but I thought I should take you into this circle. β
He guessed that Christine should have felt that Hobart had no experience in the army, so it was not easy to come forward to introduce Hobart to this kind of first-class club, and at this time, as Hobert's boss, of course, he couldn't turn a blind eye.
"Thank you for your recommendation." Hobert smiled, "Of course I have time on Sunday morning.
"I'm going to have a treat at noon, and I'm going to eat at the Rune Kingdom Hotel, so be sure to enjoy it."
He had heard of the East Byron Veterans Club at the Mercenary Club, one of the best clubs in the military, and many of the serving generals were members of the club.
Moreover, it is different in nature from mercenary clubs, which have a semi-official component and also have gatherings of extraordinary people, while the East Bailang Veterans Club is said to be a place where officers help each other and benefit each other, exchange information, and do business.
Because of Christine's relationship, Hobart was almost born with the label of "military power", and since there are already such labels, it is better to take advantage of the convenience brought by these labels.
After the matter was settled, the two of them chatted a little more before Hobert returned to his office.
As soon as he entered the secretary's room, Hobart saw an officer in his thirties waiting here, with a very ordinary appearance: "Byron! β
The other party is the "masked man" Byron who is in charge of connecting with Hugh, and before Rune's "treason", Hobert also asked him to sell extraordinary traits several times.
Byron smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be my boss again." β
Hobert smiled, "Please come in." β
The two men sat down in the reception area, and after the secretary had tea, Byron told Hobart that he had just returned from a business trip and had heard that there was a new director, and at first he thought it was the same name, but when he inquired, he realized that it was really Earl Hobert, so he came to pay a visit.
Hobart asked, "How has Hugh been doing lately?" β
"Pretty good!" Byron replied earnestly.
"I wish I could give her more well-paid, safer tasks." Hobert said casually.
"I understand." "There were a few times when I wanted to develop her into a full member, and she's now an 'interrogator,' and she only needs to go through the motions to become a senior clerk," Byron said. β
Hobert sighed, "She may have her own ideas. β
Neither of them revealed Hugh's secret.
"I've been working on Lord Bradley's case recently." Byron said suddenly.
Hobert was slightly stunned, he had just received a request for help from Lord Bradley's daughter Norma last night, and Byron had come to talk to him about it today.
He smiled, "You don't think I have anything to do with this case, do you?" β
"I don't mean that." Byron quickly explained: "We may have caught people too quickly and didn't give Bradley a way to save himself."
"I heard that his daughter asked you for help, so I'm here to report it to you."
Hobert instantly understood what Byron meant, MI9 not only has the responsibility of collecting intelligence externally, but also has the power to monitor the existence of spies internally.
It is not uncommon to find the rich and nobles who have accidentally made mistakes in this regard, and few of them are real spies, but they need to donate large sums of money to regain their freedom.
This is an important source of revenue for MI9.
Byron's intention could not be more obvious, he wanted to ask Hobart to mediate in the middle, get the ransom, and release the Bradley father and son.
Thinking about this problem, Hobert was ready to refuse, although he only needed to mediate and get a part of the ransom, but he didn't want to get involved in it.
But before he could speak, it occurred to him: Is it a coincidence that Chunas had just found me this morning, and now Byron has come to give me money?
Immediately he had already come to the conclusion that this was certainly not a coincidence.
After a moment of thought, Hobart already understood that this was a temptation of Chunas to himself, or rather, a means for Chunas to distinguish whether he was "his own person" or not.
Working in a department like MI9 doesn't mean that you don't get involved in anything.
If you want to integrate into this department, you must bind yourself to the interests of this department, so that everyone can rest assured.
Hobart realizes that if he refuses now, not only will he be isolated, but he will also risk being targeted.
So after thinking about it for a few seconds, he smiled and said: "I didn't expect that I had just entered MI9 to work, and such a case was sent to me." β
Byron also laughed and said, "It's great that you can agree to that, otherwise this case will not be able to proceed." β
Hobert took a sip of his tea, said nothing, and after a little more small talk, Byron took his leave.
Hobert sat in his office chair, thought about it again, and after making sure that his guess was correct, he began to fish again, and used "travel" to the suburban manor.
Feiqi and they have already started to work, especially Feiqi, probably because they feel that this job is not easy to come by, so they are extremely efficient, they have already drawn several versions of the turbine drawings, and have begun to find factories to order corresponding parts.
At the same time, there is already a draft of a large generator, and the first large generator is expected to be assembled in a week or two.
This high efficiency is not only due to the fact that some of Hobert's ideas and concepts of some new concepts have solved many creative problems in his design work, but also because the concept of large generators has long been known in the scientific community, and now Feige is just making breakthrough improvements according to Hobart's requirements.
The research on the tungsten filament has already begun, and now they are studying what inert gas to use to ensure the stable operation of the tungsten filament, and it is estimated that the first tungsten bulb will be made next week.
As for the rubber, there is no breakthrough, but with the current process, it is no problem to use rubber on wires.
Gerner, the researcher in charge of rubber-related research, said as Hobart was leaving: "Mr. Earl, yesterday my teacher Isaac wrote me a letter in which he presented a new research result, and I would like you to take a look at it. β
Hobart was stunned: "Why didn't he write to me directly?" β
"The teacher didn't say anything." Gnar smiled.
In fact, Isaac said in the letter that he had found several nobles, but none of them were willing to invest in that achievement, so he wanted to ask his students to help test whether Count Hobert was willing to invest.
"I'll send a car to pick you up in the afternoon." Hobert said, "Let's go visit Professor Isaac together. β
Anyway, he was going to fish in the afternoon, and he was going to go to Longtail Island again, but this time there was no purpose, and it was not urgent, so he could go to Beckland Technical University to have a look.
So Hobert returned to the Earl's Court and asked Dophes to send a car to pick up Gnar at the manor, while he himself returned to MI9 for lunch.
Today's lunch was mainly seafood, and the taste of the shrimp and sea crab vegetable soup was very satisfying to Hobert, and the second dish of golden-backed fox, which was worth 6 pounds, was not as delicious as the soup.
In the afternoon, Hobert drove to the entrance of Beckland University to meet Gna, and the two of them went to Isaac's office, and Gna explained to Isaac what he meant.
When Isaac heard that Hobert was interested in investing in the new materials he had developed, he became more enthusiastic and immediately took them to the materials room of the laboratory.
"This experiment started last year." "I was looking for a material to protect glass or valuables for long-distance transportation, but the end result was not very satisfying, it was too hard," Isaac said. β
He took out a yellowish, translucent item from a glass bottle: "I got a patent for this new material some time ago, so I started looking for investment.
"Although this material does not protect valuables, I was surprised to find that it can be used as cellophane to replace the more expensive frosted glass, which can be used in bedrooms and bathrooms."
Hobert's Object: How does it look like plastic?
He asked, "Can I touch it?" β
Isaac handed it to Hobert: "Of course. β
Hobart held it in his hand, not very hard, but it did feel like plastic: "Where did you extract this from?" β
"In soybean oil." Isaac said immediately.
Hobert opened his mouth: I don't read much, don't lie to me, can plastic be refined from soybean oil?
He touched it again, it was really the texture of plastic that was neither soft nor hard, and he couldn't help but wonder: Is this the compensation of extraordinary power for this world without oil?
In fact, what Hobart didn't know was that in the era of A.D., in order to seek degradable plastics, soybean oil plastics were not new in the scientific community.
It's just that the process is more cumbersome and more expensive than petroleum plastics, so this concept has not been popularized.
On the whole, Hobert's previous idea of finding an alternative to oil was correct, but it could only be as it is now: basically by touch.
Seeing that Hobert was pondering, Isaac thought that he had some concerns, so he continued to explain: "This substance has good plasticity and extensibility, and perhaps in practical applications, more uses can be found......
Hobart came back to his senses and interrupted Isaac: "Professor, I do have an intention to invest, but I have one condition, either you resign and come to me to concentrate on more uses of this substance, or sell me the patent. β
Isaac was slightly stunned, and was about to say no, but Hobert said again: "I will give you three times your current salary, and if you have other research that interests me, I will invest in you." β
This made the professor ponder again, but he eventually smiled: "I still like the atmosphere of the school." β
Then he said, "But I don't want to sell patents either." β
"Then we can work together later." Hobert smiled: "IMHO, this material may have a wider range of uses, but as a new material, it is still very immature.
"I have to invest a lot of money to find more features and uses for it, and of course it may be that the investment is in vain and I can't find any use.
"With all due respect, cellophane is not in great demand and does not impress me to invest at all.
"It's not cost-effective for me to invest now, so it's safer for me to spend more money on a new round of investment after you find a new investment, if it really has a good use."
Isaac smiled bitterly, he knew that Hobart was telling the truth, many similar projects saw great promise, but when it came to further research, because the cost was too high, and no new investment could be found, and in the end, the research project had to be stranded.
The future of this material is unknown, and Hobart is currently the only person who has shown interest in investing in this material, which makes Isaac have to consider the interests of the people who invested in this research project.
Hobert added: "Maybe so, I'll buy the patent, take it back for new research, and then ask you to be a visiting professor in my lab and give some guidance to your students." β
In this way, even if this material achieves anything in the future, people will not forget Isaac's contribution.
At Isaac's level, money is no longer enough to attract him too much, and he hopes that his name can be widely circulated in the scientific community in the future.
After a little consideration, Isaac agreed: "There are three people who have invested in this research, and I want to sell patents at a 30% premium on this investment." β
In this way, it will be smoother to negotiate the transaction with the investor.
"No problem!" Hobart asked, "How much does it cost?" β
"Eight thousand pounds!"
Hobert took out his checkbook and immediately wrote the check: "My butler will follow up on this matter later, and the technical docking will be handed over to Gna." β
Isaac took the check: "You are a generous earl. β
The lavish payment of 8,000 pounds for an unknown material was not common among the nobility.
Huo Bo deliberately said: "Can you please visit other products that are looking for investment?" Maybe I'm still willing to invest. β
Isaac begged: "Of course! β
However, Hobart has no intention of investing in other studies, and to be exact, Hobart does not think it is very practical.
On the return carriage, Hobert said to Gnah: "When I go back, recruit a few students to form a group and immediately study plastics in two directions." β
"Plastic, plastic?" Gerner was somewhat surprised by the new word.
"Yes, plastic! I'm going to name the new material I bought today as plastic. Hobert smiled and continued: "First of all, we can study in the hard direction, for example, we can use its strong plasticity to make pipes, or plates and the like.
"Further research in the soft direction, used to make packaging bags, films and other materials."
Hobert's chemistry is not very good, only remember that plastics need additives and stabilizers, and the most important task now is to find these additives and stabilizers.
He added: "This task is not urgent, but it is very important! β
Just like the telephone research task he assigned before, it is the core competitiveness of the future!
Gna was dumbfounded, and then he realized that the Count had already had a lot of ideas, so he made the investment.
If the direction is pointed out, the cost of future research will be greatly reduced, and the time to results will be greatly reduced.
Of course, Hobert still used the seal's ability to "keep secrets" when talking about this matter.
Back in his office, Hobert was in a good mood, and after reading the newspaper for a while, it was time to leave work.
There was still a dance party in the evening, and after Hobert changed into a formal dress, he found that Elizabeth had changed into a beautiful long dress, which made her whole temperament much more solemn, and the cute baby fat reflected her youthful atmosphere just right.
Hobert smiled, "The lads at today's ball will definitely line up for you to dance." β
Elizabeth smiled a little embarrassedly, "But there are some dance steps that I am not very proficient in. β
"It's okay, I think those lads will be considerate of you."
The two men talked and got into the carriage.
"I've spoken to Lord Atwood at the first few balls, and when I invite him to the balls I've organized, I'll talk to him about your college admissions. β
He also explained: "Lord Atwood is the current Minister of Education, and I think that as long as you don't do too badly, it will not be a problem to get into Beckland University. β
Elizabeth was about to thank her, but Hobert smiled and said: "This is Mr. Ulysses's request, and you are a good friend of Selena, we have a good time in Tingen, we are friends, and I should help you with all reason." β
Elizabeth was embarrassed to say thank you, so she moved on to another topic: "I talked to Selena about going to college the other day, and her opinion is that it is better to go to college than to follow you early and learn some political and management skills. β
"It depends on one's ambitions." Hobert smiled: "Selena is really not the material to go to college, she has strong communication skills, and after learning some management skills, she will have a broad space for development."
"But you and Melissa don't seem to be in the same situation, and your parents expect different things from you."
Elizabeth's uncle and father were both from humble backgrounds, and Mr. Ulysses was the illegitimate son of a down-and-out nobleman who was not even eligible to inherit the Lordship, and according to Christine, he lived in poverty as a young man.
Elizabeth's father, the son of a shoemaker, later started his career by following Ulysses in business.
They all have an infinite yearning for college campuses, and now that they are affluent, they want their children to receive the best university education in their eyes.
For Elizabeth, it was also a good opportunity to broaden her network, after all, the main group of university students today is the children of wealthy businessmen or officials.
Elizabeth nodded slowly, looking a little confused.
Hobert didn't say anything more, after all, the path of his life was to be found by himself.
This time it was Elizabeth who attended the ball with Hobert, and many people thought that Elizabeth was the countess who had not been brought to a formal occasion before Hobert.
When many lords saw Elizabeth, who had naturally curly brown hair and was young and beautiful, they suddenly felt that their daughter's chance was not much.
Elizabeth had not attended such a meeting before because she was not yet an adult, and she was somewhat overwhelmed.
Fortunately, there is also an acquaintance Taryn who is also a little overwhelmed, and the two of them have found a sense of soulmate.
Hobert chatted with Audrey, Gleilynt and other friends for a while, and when he saw Norma still looking sad in the distance, he beckoned to her.
Norma was slightly stunned at first, and then trotted over with a happy face: "Count Hobert, what do you command?" β
"I'll help you inquire about it today." Hobart said: "The case of your father and brother is now in charge of Captain Byron, and I have made an appointment with Byron to discuss this matter at my mansion tomorrow morning, and you will also come over when the time comes, and see if there is any hope of rescuing your father and brother." β
Norma was somewhat incredible, she asked for help at the ball every day for the past two days, and the answers she got were almost the same, they were all for help, and then it was like a stone in the sea, and there was no news at all.
What she didn't expect was that Earl Hobert would actually help her inquire.
"I, how can I thank you?" Norma asked excitedly.
Hobert smiled, "I'll talk about that tomorrow." β
"Yes, yes, yes!" Norma said, "I will definitely go to your mansion early tomorrow." β
After thanking Hobart a few more words, Norma hurried to tell her mother the good news.
Audrey smiled, "Hobert, I didn't expect you to really help. β
She paused and said, "But it's good to be able to help, this young lady's helpless appearance is sympathetic." β
As a person who has been exposed to aristocratic education since childhood, she knows very well that sympathy is sympathy, but don't let yourself get into trouble, so she didn't continue to pay attention to this matter after learning that Earl Hall didn't plan to help Lord Bradley.
Hobert smiled helplessly: "It was this matter that found me." β
Then he added, "If we have a chance, we'll talk about it in detail." β
β¦β¦
Byam, Tony Manor.
Somewhat excited, Raft finishes writing his letter to the "Divine Favorite", and he finally learns the secret of Tony's Manor!
But what made him even more excited was that the "Divine Favorer" turned out to be Hobert!
After he got the method of summoning the messenger before, he didn't care about it, and just now, he found out that the messenger he summoned was actually the messenger of Hobert Jeffrey!
This is a celebrity from some time ago!
He didn't expect that the "Divine Favorite" would become an earl like this!
After sending off the messenger, Raft began to clean up the altar, and at this moment he seemed to subconsciously pinch his eye sockets, stroked his non-existent monocle, and muttered, "This messenger is actually an angel in a bad state!" β
Then he smiled "hehe": "The family of the 'founder'! Interesting! β
Raft looked at it with a composure as if he hadn't said it.
β¦β¦
Beckland, 62 Queen's Road.
Today's ball was finally over, and Hobert was considering whether to go to Forth and "dance" again, when suddenly he felt a spiritual feeling and saw the messenger come out of the void.
After getting the letter that popped out of the coffin, Hobart took a look, and it turned out to be Raft's letter!
Ever since Raft went to Byam, it was as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
After opening the letter and reading a few lines, it was clear from the wording and a few letters that Raft was a little emotional when he wrote the letter.
The further down he looked, the more surprised Hobert became.
Raft is now a tutor at Tony's Manor, and on his first day he notices that something is wrong with the estate, and it seems easy to forget his purpose.
This reminded him of the butler's reminder that after dark, he could only stay in his own courtyard.
After observing for a while, he found that as soon as he left his yard at night, he would immediately forget his purpose.
Raft suspects that there is a powerful seal in Tony's Manor, so he launches a secret investigation, and Raft discovers that many young people of the Tony family are actually worshipping evil gods!
He did not know to whom the young men of the Tony family were offering sacrifices, and in the letter he attached a symbol pointing to the object of the sacrifice.
As the investigation unfolds further, Raft discovers that the Tony family, who are calling for wind and rain in Byam, is actually a descendant of another Tudor family!
More than 100 years ago, the Tudor family took advantage of the colonial war to rise and gain a lot of benefits in the Rorsted Islands.
Raft thought the matter was important, so he immediately reported it to the "Divine Ones".
At the same time, he found the location of the powerful seal, and investigated clearly, it was a level 1 seal of the "thief" path, and he asked the "divine favorite" if he wanted to take the opportunity to steal it?
When reading this letter, Hobert first thought: then the three tribes of the Tudor family are all together, one is the family that has been renamed the Pound family and only one official member of Raft, one is Angus's family, and the other is the Tony family of Byam.
To Hobert's surprise was the symbol that Raft had drawn on the letterhead, pointing to the object of sacrifice, an abstract symbol consisting of zigzag vertical and horizontal lines, and several dots.
The pattern was all too familiar to him! That's right, it's the pattern that points to the "fog of indefiniteness".
In other words, the young people of the Tony family are offering sacrifices to the "fog of instability"!
As for the final stealing of the seal of the "thief" pathway, Hobert had no such idea at all.
Not to mention the belief in the "fog of instability", which makes Hobert a little jealous, the key is that the strength of such an extraordinary family is not weak, although he is now promoted to a demigod, he is not crazy enough to challenge an extraordinary family.
On the other hand, Hobart seriously doubts that this group of people is crazy! Actually use the seals of the "thief" route to help them stand guard every night?
What if you recruit something that isn't very good? Do you want to change the Tony family to the Amon family in the future?
This guy has a habit of recovering all the extraordinary characteristics of the "thief" path he encounters!
After becoming a demigod, Hobert's seal on Amon's memories was lifted a bit, so as not to appear because his reaction was slow and he encountered Amun's incident instead.
After reading the letter, Hobert noticed that the messenger did not leave, and he was slightly stunned and immediately asked, "Is there something wrong with Raft's state?" β
"Yes, he was 'parasitized.'" The coffin stood in front of Hobert: "If he doesn't write this letter to you in a few days, he will be completely hopeless." β
Hobert twitched the corners of his mouth: "I'll just say it!" β
"1-101" When he is not in use, he puts it directly in the "country of disorder", for fear of bad luck and encountering "unclean things".
Then Hobart discovered, "You answered my question without asking for a doughnut?" β
"Ha, I'm just waiting for you to ask." The messenger immediately said, "How about we make a deal?" Let's hunt Amon's clone together, I don't ask for much, just six 'Time Worms'! β
Hobert twitched the corners of his mouth, "Are you serious?" β
"If it was Amon's body, I wouldn't have such an idea." The messenger said, "But he is only a doppelganger, and it is not difficult to deal with." β
Hobert scratched his head, realizing that most of his memories of Amon were sealed in the "Land of Discord": "I remember that Amon's doppelganger was also very difficult to deal with. β
"That's just that you don't know Amon, with me, this operation will definitely succeed."
Hobert was stunned: "You seem to know Amon very well?" β
"Yes."
"How well understood."
"I slept with Him."
Hobart thought he had misheard: "He, He has that need?" β
Then it occurred to him that the messenger's surname was Tudor and that she was in the same camp as Amon during the time of the Tudor Empire.
"Everyone has an unknown side, and Amon is no exception." The Messenger does not shy away from this issue: "Truth be told, he did quite well in that regard. β
Hobert pinched his forehead, although he couldn't recall all the information about Amon, but he always felt a little different from the Amon he remembered.
The messenger continued, "Generally speaking, when Amon arranges his clones, he follows the principle of one lord and many strongest.
"I estimate that in the entire Rorsted Islands, there is only one clone that is roughly close to Sequence 2, and there must be some other clones around, but there will only be Sequence 3 and 4 in the hierarchy.
"Do you know why?"
The Messenger asked himself: "Because his doppelgΓ€ngers are unwilling to accept orders from other doppelgΓ€ngers, I have seen several times when his doppelgangers have fought after the 'referendum' and did not want to support the referendum result.
"Only when Amun's body arrives will his doppelganger settle down.
"It's the same in other places, where there can only be one Sequence 2 clone in the same area.
"The fact that the 'Time Worm' parasitic in Raft's body didn't even recognize me suggests that it was just a minor clone, at best at the level of Sequence 2.
"It may sound scary for the other clones to rush up, but his clones don't take any risks unless they are ordered to do so by their body.
"As soon as an angel appears on the battlefield, those clones will disperse in a hurry to tell the other clones and the main body about the attack."
Hobert twitched the corners of his mouth: "Isn't that scary enough?" What if I call another Sequence 2 level doppelganger? Even if I don't have an angel, it's quite troublesome for me to be targeted by other clones. β
"So you have to prepare a space in secrecy." The messenger in the coffin seemed to smile, "As far as I know, the Goddess of the Night is also very fond of the 'Time Worm'.
"Even if Amon's other clones follow the clues, don't be afraid, we can launch another hunt."
Hobert seemed to remember something: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, my thoughts of asking you for help will be stolen." β
He remembered that Klein seemed to have had such an experience.
"No, it won't." The messenger said, "As long as you have a cane with you, you have a chance to call for help." β
Hobert was stunned, was it the "Order Crystal" in his hand, to be exact? He was able to bring out some items from the "Land of Disorder" to use, which was really different from Crane.
He thought for a moment before saying, "You let me think about it, and I'll summon you later." β
Watching the messenger leave, Hobert waited a minute or two before entering the "Land of Disorder".
He sealed it here, and the memories of Amon immediately appeared in his mind.
Hobert smiled: To my surprise, Amon actually has a human side, and he listens to the messenger's tone very pleasantly, maybe he is indeed doing very well!
