Chapter 547: The Task of Protecting the Queen and the Princess
After the recipients of the "Uncertain Mist" had left, Hobart pondered for more than ten seconds before saying, "My suggestion is to just wait and see and ignore it for the time being. ”
First of all, he found that these recipients were not like the people who had been polluted by demons or true creators on the western shore of Lake Full Moon, they seemed to be normal and full of spirits, and there was nothing wrong with the spirit and spirit bodies except when faced with certain problems.
Of course, this is also the biggest problem.
Hobart realizes that the "fog of indeterminacy" seems to have affected their will to some extent, and that something must be wrong in the long run.
Secondly, and most importantly, the "founder" of this problem has not yet been solved, so Hobert feels that it is better to maintain the status quo.
But these inner thoughts, of course, cannot be known to Osmond.
Hobert continued: "They are not greatly affected, but they can use some powers outside of the extraordinary path, which is still relatively cost-effective at present.
"But if they continue to receive higher level gifts, this matter may get out of control, so they cannot continue to receive gifts."
Hobert is not entirely lying, and if there is a problem with the recipient now, he can "twist" or "tamper with" it with the person "Creator", and the problem will basically be solved temporarily.
That is, the recipients of the "fog of indeterminacy", Hobert has such faith, and the recipients of other external gods, Hobert feels that even if they use the person of the "founder", it may not work.
Osmond agreed, "We will no longer support their sacrifices and gifts, and we will do a good job of observing and monitoring them." ”
"It's better to find a reason to do it." Hobert said: "After all, they are all good guys who are willing to risk the hair of the family. ”
"Yes!" Osmond simply said in a subordinate tone.
Hobert asked for the honorific name of "The Fog of Uncertainness" again, and he got up and told Raft to write to himself if he had any problems, and after saying goodbye again, he used the "travel" to leave.
Back in the bedroom of the Earl's Court in Beckland, Hobert took off his mask and breathed a sigh of relief, and after checking that the door was still locked, he sacrificed the 8 "Time Worms" to the Goddess of the Night.
After the star-lit door opened and the Worm of Time was taken away, Hobert waited for a while before sacrificing all the remaining Worms of Time to the Creator.
He entered the "Land of Disorder" and captured the "Worm of Time".
Looking at these insects covered in rings and faintly revealing some occult symbols, Hobert wondered: I wonder if the "fool" can respond to the ritual of making charms now?
Then he thought again: the "wrong" path and the "Black Emperor" path to the "high sequence" seem to be very similar to a certain extent! For example, "deception" is somewhat similar to the effect of "confusion" or "tampering".
Hobert had a bold idea: could I try praying to myself and using the "Time Worm" to create an advanced charm?
Thinking of this, he shook his head again, and now he prayed to himself that he only needed to use the corresponding spiritual materials, and he could already obtain the "Black Emperor" path demigod level spell. There's no need to go around in such a circle and get some spells similar to the "Black Emperor" path.
Hobart summoned a piece of "Order Crystal" to make a square locket, then put all the "Time Worms" into the locket, and finally closed the lid.
When you have the chance, pray to the "Fool" to try it out and see if you can make advanced charms.
After putting away the "Time Worm", Hobert began to review tonight's battle.
If nothing else, soon, or now, Amun's other clones will definitely be able to notice that the doppelgangers of the Rorsted Islands are gone, and the clones will definitely take action at that time.
But with Tony Manor as a buffer, Hobart is not too afraid of the revenge of Amon's clone.
After tonight's battle, Hobert felt that Amon's clone was really powerful, for example, Hobert couldn't form a complete idea at all during the battle.
Without the help of the Order Crystal, tonight's battle would have been a different outcome.
But the "founder" is not a vegetarian either, and Hobart realizes that the biggest difference between the "founder" and the "fool" is that the "founder" can take advantage of the loopholes of death and life to create two angel-level thugs.
Even without these thugs, they can briefly recover the state of Beverly and Raymond and hunt Amun's angel-level clone.
He felt that the key to fighting Amon's clone was that the main body must not participate!
In case Amon's clone realizes that the "Order Crystal" in his hand is the key, and simply rushes over and takes the "Order Crystal" away, the "Creator" will disappear from this world.
No, or the "founder" who sat on the "Iron Throne" in the future, began to wear monocles.
Even if the "State of Disorder" was not the essentia that Amon needed, he would probably steal it for two days, provided of course, if he had a way not to be contaminated by the "State of Disorder".
With a basic strategy for dealing with possible risks in the future, Hobart began to think about the state of the "fog of uncertainty" and the "gifts of the past".
A long time ago, Hobart pondered the question: how did the old days of the starry sky maintain their state?
Theoretically, it takes some extraordinary properties and some essentia to keep the old person from falling.
However, the extraordinary properties of the 22 pathways are basically on the earth, and the essentia may still be torn apart, and they themselves retain a part of it, how to solve the problem of extraordinary characteristics?
It was after learning about the "Gift System" that it occurred to Hobart that the awakening of the "First Creator" had torn apart these extraordinary properties and essentia of the past.
However, there is no evidence that the "original" attracted all the extraordinary properties and essentia of the entire universe, and perhaps the old ones still had some extraordinary properties and essentia left over to maintain their own state.
And most of the extraordinary properties and essentia in the universe that were attracted by the "beginning" formed 22 extraordinary pathways and nine essentia!
This conjecture is at least true in the case of the "Fog of Uncertainty", and Hobart clearly knows that he has a certain "disordered state", and through the system of gifts, on the other hand, it can be proved that he also has certain extraordinary characteristics, and these characteristics seem to be very similar to the abilities of "lawyer" and "arbiter".
Thinking of this, Hobert glanced again at the honorific name of the "Mist of Uncertainty" he received from Osmond: the Mist of the Deep Universe; You are the ruler, absolute zero, the ruler of all chaos.
This made Hobart a little strange, for the honorific name he had received from the Tamara family for the "Mist of Uncertainty" was clearly as follows: "The Mist of the Depths of the Universe;
The Extremely Cold Juggernaut;
A symbol of chaos and distortion. ”
Why are the two honorific names different?
After a moment's thought, Hobart wondered: Could the two honorific names play different roles?
The honorific name obtained from the Tony family is used to bestow extraordinary power, and the honorific name from the Tamara family can break through the barrier and establish a certain connection with the "uncertain fog"?
Hobert along this line of thought: or to put it another way, the Tamara family received the honorific name of "Uncertain Mist" in the Quaternary Period, when the influence of the outer gods on the earth was very limited, could it be that there was no gift system?
At the end of the Quaternary Period, when the barrier weakened further, did the outer gods use the method of gifts to influence the earth more deeply?
Hobert lamented that there are still more than ten years before the end of the world, but some games seem to have started a long time ago.
Become a god! Hobert sighed in his heart: In this extraordinary world, only by becoming a god can he protect himself.
Finally he remembered what the two Amon clones had said to him: My fate must have been influenced by Trensost, and the direct evidence is the curse of the family. But who else is influencing my fate? Amon's doppelganger couldn't even see clearly!
Hobart seemed to have a vague idea of something, and his spirituality told him that his thoughts were critical, but for some reason, it was just difficult to form a complete thought.
After thinking about it for a while, Hobert simply didn't want to think about it, and first found a way to solve Trenthorst's influence on himself.
After resealing the relevant memories, Hobert returned to the real world, and that night he had some insomnia, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he saw Amon wearing a monocle, as if he could find him at any time.
This is the shadow left by Amon's clone on Hobert's subconscious, which was indeed quite terrifying at the time, and for most of the minute, Hobart felt that he was in a state of confusion.
But his spirit can realize that it is very dangerous, that feeling is like the ghost press bed that Hobart has encountered, obviously his brain is close to waking up, but his body does not obey the call, the key is that he can also feel that there seems to be a very dangerous person standing next to him, and he is about to hurt himself at any time.
He slept for more than half an hour and had nightmares most of the time, but when he woke up, Hobart found that he was in good spirits.
It was only at breakfast that Hobert heard from Dopheus that Miss Norma and her mother had arrived.
After having breakfast, Hobert went to see them and told them to wait in the parlor.
As usual, Hobert rode to work in the MI9 carriage and came to the office, and he was about to ask the secretary to inform Byron to come, but the secretary Shalene came in first and said, "Director, the chief director, please go." ”
Hobart was stunned: Count Georgina? What is she looking for me for?
"Got it." Hobart said, "I'll change into my uniform and go right away." ”
Georgina's underground office is also on the third basement floor, but it is not in the same area as the offices of Hobart and other operations units.
MI9's office building is no different from a normal building on the ground, but each floor of the underground part is several times larger than the above-ground part.
And it's designed like a labyrinth, it's not a straight-up structure, and it doesn't have any street signs.
It is said that this is to delay some intruders in finding the location of the file room, or the location of the prison.
But Hobert felt that this protection would also be useful for extraordinary people below the demigod, if he wanted to invade this place and was confused by the labyrinth-like structure, he would just smash a straight path.
In addition to this architectural structure, Hobert also felt that there was an "early warning mechanism" established in the lobby on the first floor using seals.
Although he didn't know the exact effect, he guessed that the members of MI9 were hypnotized, possessed, or something, and the seals should be noticeable.
Hobert, led by Sarain, came to Georgina's office: "You wait for me outside. ”
He was mainly afraid that he would not find his way back.
Pushing the door in, Georgina's office was larger than Hobert's, and when the secretary opened the door, Georgina, who was also wearing a double-breasted uniform, was reading a document, and she pointed to the opposite side of her desk: "You sit down first." ”
MI9 has uniforms designed specifically for women, which are the style with skirts that Salene wears, but Georgina wears men's uniforms.
This reminds Hobert of Princess Ethel of the Kingdom of Fenerport, and when it comes to neutral temperament and oppression, this Count Georgina is still far behind without using extraordinary abilities.
"I called you here today to give you a mission." Georgina read those lines before she said, "Next Monday, go and protect the queen for a day." ”
Hobert was slightly stunned: "I just came to MI9, and I have no experience in protecting important people......"
"Don't try to pass the buck." The chief director looked at Hobart with a smile: "You are the only one who has time that day, and you must go." ”
Hobert smiled: "Well, the main thing is that the business is not skilled, and I am afraid of embarrassing MI9." ”
Then he asked, "Was there any big event that day?" Need extra manpower to protect the queen? ”
"No, there was a demigod who guarded the palace that day, and he needed a day off." Georgina saw that Hobert had taken over the task, and only then began to talk about the details: "And by Monday, the queen needs to be protected. ”
Hobert was slightly stunned: "Only one demigod is protecting the queen?" ”
Georgina smiled and asked, "How many do you think there are?" ”
Then she added, "Look at more documents that are helpful for your work!" ”
Georgina explained: "There are only four demigods who protect important members of the royal family, and if necessary, they are seconded from the army, and every time they are seconded, MI9 is the first choice of the royal family. ”
Hobert is right to think about it, after all, the demigods are not cabbages, and the sea that is opposed to the Fusak Empire, as well as the vast colonies, as well as strategic locations, etc., there are too many places that need demigods.
And with the addition of seals, the four demigods can basically defend the palace, and they can rest in shifts, if the enemy's attack is not something that the four demigods can handle, then there is a high probability that four more will not help.
The biggest reliance on the safety of the royal family should be the level 0 seal, and the mechanism that can quickly call in angels for support.
Georgina finally said: "Your guard is from eight o'clock in the morning to eight o'clock in the evening, I recommend going to the palace early, and there will be members of the king's guard to tell you some precautions." ”
Hober nodded, "Okay." ”
It's a pity that I won't be able to fish happily next Monday, and I won't be able to participate in the tarot meeting.
Led by Charlene, Hobert returned to his office, where Byron was already waiting in the reception area of the secretary's room.
After a few words of explanation to Charlene, Hobart rode back to the Earl's Court with Byron.
The four-wheeled carriage for two people is also designed with a low chassis, and the people sitting inside are not as high as those outside, which also ensures the speed of the carriage to the greatest extent.
When they came to the parlor of Earl's Court, Norma and her mother still had a trace of fear in their eyes when they saw Byron, and maybe when the MI9 people went to arrest people, they left some psychological shadows.
Under Hobart's auspices, the conversation that followed seemed to be harmonious, and the two sides soon reached an agreement with Lord Bradley donating £30,000 to MI9 in order to secure bail.
Unlike other services, MI9 does interrogation in-house and does not follow the police rules of interrogation, which means that torture is legal here.
Generally speaking, it is then handed over to the court for trial, and it is just a matter of going through the procedure.
Lawyers were not allowed to intervene until the prisoners were handed over to the court, especially the aristocracy and the rich, who had become accustomed to playing with the law, hated the department to the core.
But when they really entered MI9, most of them immediately coaxed again, because they were still reluctant to live a luxurious life, and they still hoped that such a life would continue.
Under the manipulation of Hobart and Byron, Lord Bradley and his son were released that afternoon, and before leaving work, MI9 received a cheque for £30,000.
When Byron went to the bank to exchange the money, according to internal rules, 3,000 pounds of it was given to Hobert, and the rest was deposited into the MI9 public account.
Hobert gave 1,000 pounds of the 3,000 pounds to Byron, and another 1,000 pounds to the people who handled the case, and even the secretary Saraen, who had only made two trips, received 30 pounds.
Hobert also promised to invite all his colleagues in the Operations Division to dinner by noon next Tuesday.
Everyone didn't expect that the new deputy director was so generous, and for a while, the entire operations department was full of praise for Hobert.
At the dance in the evening, Hobart met the family of Lord Bradley again, and the forty-year-old lord thanked Hobart with snot and tears.
This is the first time he's been arrested for anything like that, and he's been arrested by MI9.
Byron and the others kept interrogating them with extraordinary abilities, making them very fragile and prone to fluctuations, and it took a while for them to recover before their spirits became normal again.
While reassuring the father and son, Hobert also felt how powerful MI9 was, or rather, in the kingdom of Rune, this may be the only department that can restrain most of the nobles and riches.
Some have ridiculed them as the king's eagle dogs, and this is a very apt insult, and the reason why the royal family has always maintained enough influence and control over MI9 is that they want to use this department to maintain the cornerstone of their rule.
However, MI9 cannot arrest people indiscriminately, and if the prisoner has nothing to do with the spy and there is no relevant evidence, they cannot legally arrest people.
Under certain conditions, both the parliament and the government can intervene in MI9's internal investigations.
So it's not so much MI9 as the cornerstone of royal rule, it's the last deterrent for the royal family.
On Sunday morning, under the leadership of Cunas, Hobart joined the "East Bailang Veterans Club", completed the formalities, completed the membership dues, and received a badge with the wood, sea, and knife point signs.
After a brief walk around the club, Hobert also met a few acquaintances, to be exact, a few former colleagues of Christine, and also met them a few times because of some social occasions such as proms.
Chunas joked, "Doesn't it feel like coming home here?" ”
Hobert smiled and said, "There are quite a few people here that I do know. ”
At noon, according to the previous agreement, the two of them went to the Rune Kingdom Hotel for dinner and chatted casually about the current situation.
MI9 has relevant regulations, and in public, you can't talk about work, so everyone in the dining room knows that these two are MI9 people, but when they talk, Hobert and Cunas won't even mention MI9's inconsequential trivia.
On Sunday afternoon, finally able to take a break, Hobert said hello to Dophes and made his way to the Green Estate in South Coulson through Traveler's Gate.
Furth had nothing to do this afternoon, and they went out to bask in the grass together.
The afternoon sun was warm, and the smell of the herbs around him was drowsy, and Hobert fell asleep as he chatted with Forth.
Ever since he met Amon, his spirit had been tense for the past few days, and now he finally relaxed, took Folth's hand and fell asleep.
Furth looked at the sleeping Hobert, and suddenly smiled slightly, feeling a sense of accomplishment: Just now he said that he has always had insomnia these days, but he fell asleep after a while beside me.
Hobert slept soundly until it was too late, and Dophes came to call him to the ball, and Foirth had to wake him up.
On the way to the prom, Hobart asks "The Fool" for leave and can't attend tomorrow's tarot party.
Soon got a reply from the "fool": "Got it." ”
……
Early Monday morning, Hobert took a horse-drawn carriage to Sodrrack Palace.
At this time, on Queen's Road, there were only various carriages delivering goods to the noble mansions, and in the fog, they lit horse lanterns, like ghost ships in the sea.
When I came to the door of the side gate of the palace, there was already an officer of the King's Guard waiting here.
"Count Hobert, it's a pleasure to meet you." The officer smiled and introduced himself: "You can call me Chad, and I will cooperate with you today and be responsible for the whole day's security." ”
Hobert shook hands with the other party without any arrogance: "Today's specific work depends on your arrangement." ”
How did Hobert, an officer in the palace guard, know whose relatives or cronies it was?
Hobert was temporarily seconded to work for a day, of course, on the premise of not being humble or arrogant, and he could be as polite as he could.
Chad took Hobart into the palace and came to a small office, where Chad began to talk about today's security tasks: "During the queen's time in the palace, you only need to rest in the lounge, and we will do the daily security work.
"But the queen has to go out today, and then you will sit in the queen's carriage and protect you at close range."
Georgina had previously briefly described Hobert's mission, but she had not made it clear.
According to the rules, Hobart's specific task was to be informed when he entered the palace.
Hobert nodded indifferently, and then he realized that even the royal family would not call a demigod as a servant or a guard, and as long as the royal family members were not out, he would just rest or guard the seals of the palace.
A "temporary worker" like Hobert, of course, would not let him guard the seal.
Besides, the royal family's secondment to MI9 this time made it very clear, mainly to protect the queen.
Chad added, "As is customary, when you hand over to Mr. Claremont in a moment, you will be given temporary access to a Level 1 seal, as well as a charm.
"The ability of that Level 1 seal is that it can spot targets in various hidden states; You can turn a small area into a 'secret realm' to effectively hide your tracks, and you can summon a 'door' in front of you, which is in two spaces with the target, and can dodge most of the attacks of extraordinary abilities.
"The negative effect is: you will always inadvertently enter the spirit world, and if you wear it for a long time, you will become a road idiot.
"As for that charm, it can summon the Duke of South Well, and it should be used in a very dangerous time."
Chad smiled slightly, "You have participated in the battle of Fenerport City, I believe you don't need me to explain what it means to summon the Duke of Southwell." ”
Hober nodded: "I understand. ”
Chad said a few more things about the queen's preferences, lest Hobart anger the queen over some small matter.
At 7:40, two people took a guard composed of dozens of people to change guards with another guard.
Chad first took Hobart to the rest room of the queen's bedchamber specially prepared for demigods, and handed over to an old man who looked to be in his sixties, very kind, and in good spirits.
After getting the seal in the shape of a button and the dark gold charm, the handover was officially completed, the two demigods shook hands, and the kind Cremont left, leaving Hobart alone in the lounge.
From the doorway, the lounge seemed to be far away from the Queen's rest and office, but it was only separated by a wall from the Queen's bedroom and her office.
As a demigod, such a wall certainly can't stop Hobert's spirituality, and if the queen is in any danger, Hobert may find out sooner than Chad, who is guarding the queen's side.
The cabinet next to it contains fine cigars and cigarettes, and coffee and tea, all of which can only be enjoyed by kings and queens.
But there are no entertainment tools, the walls are bare, and there are no oil paintings.
After staying for more than an hour, Hobert became bored and sighed in his heart: this job is suitable for an old man like Rykmunt.
At about ten o'clock, the queen was finally about to go out.
Hobert stretched hard, yawned silently, and hurried out to keep up with the guards.
He noticed that at the head of the procession was not only the queen, but also the noble princess Alice, and it seemed that the two of them were ready to go out together.
Hobert didn't care too much, anyway, in his opinion, one sheep is also driven, and two sheep are also released.
When they came to the carriage, which was only the size of the king, the queen and the princess got into the carriage first, Hobert stepped forward quickly, and the third got into the carriage.
The king-sized carriage is several times larger than the earl's size, and Hobert's current carriage has to bow his head when he is in the carriage, while the king-sized carriage does not need to bow his head at all, and he can't touch the roof of the car when he jumps lightly in it, so he simply pulls a small living room around the world at first.
It is said that the queen was very fond of canaries, so there was a special place to hang a birdcage in the carriage, and on this trip, the queen took a birdcage and a canary.
The queen, who was in her forties and dressed very solemnly and wore hair accessories, glanced at Hobert, who came up last, and only bowed her head slightly at him to say hello.
Alice was slightly stunned: "Why are you?" ”
"There's a captain of the King's Guard resting today." Hobert gave a brief explanation before greeting the queen and princess, and then sat down on the side of the carriage, paying attention to everything outside the window.
Alice said nothing more, and continued to chat with the queen.
The carriage slowly accelerated out of the palace and out of the city via the King's Road.
Hobert learns from the conversation between the queen and Alice that today they are visiting Duke Bowen, who is the queen's brother and Alice's uncle.
Bowen has been ill since last year and has been recuperating in a suburb, fresh air estate.
Today's weather is not very good, and the fog has not completely cleared at ten o'clock, which makes ten o'clock at noon look similar to early in the morning.
Hobert was lamenting the weather in Beckland, when suddenly, his spirit had a premonition of danger.
He immediately gestured to the queen and Alice, motioning for them not to speak yet.
Hobart poured spirituality into the buttons on his cuffs, the seal provided by the royal family, to look for hidden enemies around.
At this moment, Alice suddenly covered her chest with a frightened face, as if she couldn't breathe.
Hobert immediately felt an evil force descending on Alice, and he immediately stepped forward to check, Alice was already foaming at the mouth and was a little out of will.
The queen covered her mouth in surprise: "Oh my God! ”
She gets up to help, but is stopped by Hobart reaching out.
At this time, Hobert had already decided: Alice was under a curse!
"Chaos! Twist! Hobert throws the surrounding area into chaos and tries to distort the evil forces around him to cut off Alice's connection with the spellcaster, or to "twist" the curse onto the canary in the carriage.
But it didn't work, and Hobert immediately grabbed Alice, who was already dying, and told her to lie down: "It's rude." ”
There are generally two types of curse mediums, one is that the caster obtains parts of the cursed person's body, such as hair, flesh and blood, so they can curse the target from a long distance.
This is the equivalent of a telescopic call, and the caster's power needs to remain in occult contact with the cursed for a few seconds before a person can be cursed.
Some spellcasters with low rank also need ritual magic assistance to curse people to death for several days in a row.
The other medium is for the cursed person to carry out the curse with an item that the caster can use, or simply an item made by the caster.
It's the equivalent of a telegram, and a short occult command can be used to trigger a curse.
So since "chaos" and "distortion" don't work, the curse should be a second medium.
Hobert maximizes his spirituality, staring at Alice's tiara, earrings, etc., with "associations": not these things.
He had no choice but to search his body, and when he found the position of the skirt, Hobert felt a hard object on the side of Alice's right leg, and he quickly lifted the hem of the princess's skirt.
Fortunately, the nobles' clothes are more cumbersome, and Alice also wears a dress similar to safety pants, otherwise Hobert would feel a little embarrassed if there was only a panty in the skirt.
I have to say that Princess Alice's two legs are still very beautiful, not fat or thin, and the stockings are just right round and sexy.
Because it was important to save people, Hobert didn't have time to take a closer look, and he found a Mitsubishi thorn in the leather pocket of Alice's right thigh.
It was a magical item, but it was still not what Hobart was looking for.
Hobert looked at the princess's other leg, which was also stockinged, with a delicate leg loop.
In earlier times, stockings were a more rare luxury than they are now, and leg rings were structures used by the nobility to hold stockings in place.
Later, as the stockings became elastic, the role of the leg rings disappeared, but the leg rings were retained as accessories.
Among the aristocracy, leg rings were relatively private ornaments, and only very close people would give them to each other.
The reason is also very simple, in the more conservative culture of Rune, the legs of men, women or ladies are rarely shown in public.
No matter how sexy the leg rings are, few people can appreciate them.
These thoughts only flashed through Hobert's mind, and he reached out and tore off the cloth leg ring, and suddenly felt that there was a very evil power in his hands.
Hobert immediately threw the leg rings on the carpet and checked to see that he had not been eroded in any way, before he went to close the hem of Princess Alice's dress.
At this time, Princess Alice had not yet regained her senses, but her breathing had stabilized.
Hobart took out his handkerchief and helped Alice wipe the foam from the corner of her mouth: "Distorted!" ”
He "distorted" the concept of Alice and the canary, so that most of Alice's influence went to the canary.
The canary died with a kick on both legs, and Alice recovered a lot at once.
The queen glanced at the dead canary, as if she was a little reluctant, but her own daughter was more important: "How is it?" ”
All this just now, only three or four seconds, the queen did not even have time to order the coachman to stop.
Hobert did not take his handkerchief back, and after using "association" to sever his occult connection with the handkerchief, he placed the handkerchief on his seat.
It's not that he has a habit of cleanliness, but to avoid suspicion.
After all, there is Alice's saliva on the handkerchief, and if she is cursed again, Hobert will also have some suspicion, so it is better to simply drop the handkerchief.
Then he sat down and made way for the queen.
Under the care of the queen, it took Alice another ten seconds to recover.
Only then did Hobart say, "I suggest that we return to the palace immediately, and let the members of the guard who are good at divination divinate the location or general information of the assassins. ”
However, there should not be much hope, judging from the ferocity of the curse just now, the sequence of the spellcaster should not be low, unless it is to find Klein or Archibald to divination, otherwise there may be no divination.
The queen, who had always been solemn, asked a little frightened at this time: "What happened to Alice just now?" ”
That is, Hobert's quick response, if he is an ordinary extraordinary, then for a while, he can't find the key to solving the problem.
And as far as that curse goes, five seconds, six seconds at most can kill Alice.
If Hobert's movements were a little slower, Alice would already be a corpse at this time.
How could the queen not be afraid?
"The princess was cursed just now." Hobart replied.
"You don't have to go back." At this time, Alice calmly pointed to the leg ring on the carpet and asked, "Is the other party using this leg ring to curse me?" ”
Hober nodded: "From what I observe, yes. ”
The queen immediately asked, "Who gave you this leg ring?" ”
"Edsak!" Alice said coldly.
The prince who is said to have been infatuated with witches.
The queen seemed to have something in mind, and she asked a little sternly, "Are you still investigating the affairs of Edsak?" ”
Alice glanced at her mother: "Yes! ”
This assassination with a curse is obviously aimed at Alice, and even if it fails to kill her, the warning is very obvious.
"How many times have I told you not to continue investigating!" The queen said solemnly: "I don't want to lose a son and then another daughter!" ”
Alice nodded: "Good mother, I won't look into it anymore." ”
The queen sighed, she knew her daughter too well, and Alice agreed so happily that she could only show that she had not listened to her advice at all.
Hobert on the side was already shouting in his heart: Hey, hey, don't talk about this kind of thing in front of me, okay? I'm a temporary worker! I don't want to know your secrets and all the in the royal family!
Fortunately, the mother and son did not continue to talk about the matter, but they did not turn around and return to the palace, as if they knew who the assassin was and expected that they would not assassinate again.
Hobert guessed that it should be someone from the Witch Church, and there must be an internal response in the palace.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible for the Assassins to assassinate while the experienced demigods were resting and Hobert was temporarily seconded.
Because theoretically speaking, although Hobert is also a demigod, he is too young after all, and he has not been trained accordingly, and maybe when he finds out that it is a curse, Alice is already hopeless.
Moreover, the timing of the other party's assassination was quite accurate, and it was after Alice left the palace that the curse was carried out, and Hobert did not believe that it could be a coincidence.
The atmosphere in the carriage became much more dreary, and it was only when she was about to reach her destination that Alice took out a delicate leather bag and put away the torn leg ring.
After the carriage stopped, Hobert got off the carriage first.
The queen was the second to get out of the car, and as she did, she saw Alice put Hobert's abandoned handkerchief in her purse.
She was slightly stunned, but pretended not to see it.

Hobert almost immediately made his judgment: it seemed that an evil force was entwining the spirit of Duke Bowen.
