Firth saw the more and more prosperous streets, and the people in this city seemed to have witnessed Hobert's growth, and regarded her as a countess, and in the future on Longtail Island, she would still be the lord's wife, and as long as Hobart was not there, she would be like the Führer.

From these things, Foirth could fully feel Hobert's respect for her.

This made Furth feel better and better: That's enough!

As soon as she adjusted her mindset, she met a man in his fifties, with decent facial features and dark eyes, who called himself Spike.

Furth smiled and asked, "Did you encounter any problems in the scenic area?" ”

Spike looked at Forthth, "I just think you're familiar." ”

Firth thought the other party was joking, but suddenly she remembered that the polluted angel of the Antigonus family was not called Spike Antigonus!

It can't be so coincidental that I met it!

Although Miss Justice helped everyone "forget" the memories of "above the gods" at that time, the other memories were preserved, and Firth still remembered the polluted "door" path angel, but he didn't remember who was polluted.

At that moment, Furth smiled quietly, "I'm sorry, I don't remember seeing you before!" ”

Spike frowned, "Your mood has changed drastically, you know me, don't you?" Me, I have ...... memories of the past. It's a little blurry. ”

The atmosphere suddenly became tense!

"Spike!" A woman's voice interrupted the increasingly tense atmosphere.

Firth looked over and breathed a sigh of relief, it was Lady Eply.

Spike's brow furrowed even deeper at the sight of Eply, "Aren't you going to see your son?" ”

Epli sneered: "Don't worry about it! ”

With that, she took Furth and walked away.

Spike stands still, watching them leave.

When he was a little farther away, Furth asked, "Ma'am, is that ......?"

"Don't ask." "That person is dangerous. ”

The two of them hurried back to the Lord's Mansion without saying a word along the way.

When he arrived at the living room of the Lord's Mansion, Firth noticed that Epli seemed to have something on his mind: "Ma'am? ”

Epli glanced at Furth with some distraction, then smiled as calmly as she could, "Son, you go and call Hobert, I have something to look for him." ”

"Good!" At this point, Foirth realized that Ms. Epully had something very important to discuss with Hobart.

When Furth left, Epli trembled, especially her left hand, as if it were about to break free from her.

“…… Great Mother Goddess, please give me a little more time...... Give me a moment......" Epli pleaded, "Let me look at him again...... Mother's love will bring me closer to you......

"The Great Mother Goddess ......"

It wasn't the Tao or Eply's prayer that worked, and her trembling gradually ceased to be so violent.

It wasn't until she had recovered and caught her breath that Hobert and Foerse came in from outside.

Hobart came in from outside and smiled, "Lady Eply, long time no see. ”

Epli looked at Hobert and said a little weakly, "Child, you are more energetic than before. ”

Hobert smiled, guessing that she might have sensed that she had been promoted to demigod.

"I've been wanting to come and see you all this time, but there have always been all sorts of things that have hindered my trip." Epli smiled, "Human life is so short, I always feel that there is not enough time. ”

As she spoke, she took off a ring on her hand, handed it to Furth, and solemnly admonished, "Don't go to the stars in the future." ”

"Ma'am," said Furth, "has given me a precious gift. ”

"No, this gift doesn't mean the same." Eply smiled, "Can I talk to Hobart alone?" ”

Hobert looked at Eply for a moment before he said to Furth, "Take it." ”

Furth nodded, accepted the ring, and said, "You talk." ”

She was a little worried about Eply, but she walked out of the living room quickly.

After Furth left, Epli said, "This is a good girl, don't let her down." ”

"Of course." Hobert smiled, "Please be seated." ”

Epli sighed, "No, I've been sitting for a long, long time." ”

She looked at Hobert suddenly, "Son, you already know who I am, do you?" ”

Hobert was obviously stunned, he had indeed guessed that Epally was his biological mother, but what surprised him was: Are you looking for me to confess your relatives today?

"I'm about to face a great test, and I'm not completely sure of it. ”

She stretched out her left hand, which was trembling slightly: "My form has not been very good lately, and I may lose control in that test." ”

Hobart pondered for a moment before saying, "Yes, I know who you are." ”

"Awesome, as smart as your father." Epli smiled, "No, smarter than your father." ”

She stretched out her normal right hand and looked up to hold Hobart's cheek: "In a blink of an eye, you have grown so big, and it is my biggest regret not to be by your side."

"But it was with you that I was able to make so many difficult choices.

"Every time I think of you, I feel like I have infinite power."

As she spoke, her eyes gradually dimmed, and she slowly withdrew her hand: "The reason why I tried to stay away from you as much as possible is because I was bewitched by an evil god.

"By the time I found out, it was too late, and I couldn't bring those evil things to you."

Hobert sighed, and he could feel the deep maternal love of the lady in front of him.

"It's good to see you grow up safely." Epli took two steps back and took off her bracelet: "If I die, this bracelet will give you a coordinate."

"There is all the research I have done to resurrect your father, and I have been to the underworld many times, but I have never found your father's soul.

"Tried a lot of ritual magic to no avail, you can go and continue your research there, or you can abandon it entirely."

Hobart opened his mouth, but accepted it anyway.

Eply looked at Hobart again, "I have had some hardships with your father, and I have had very happy times.

"But his death hit me so hard that I didn't immediately realize that you were the best gift the gods had given us."

With remorse in her eyes, Epli suddenly turned her head and walked away as fast as she could.

"Wait a minute." Hobert took a deep breath: "You have given us so many gifts, I should have a gift in return." ”

With this, he removed the head of his cane and transformed it into a palm-sized black ring-shaped jade pendant with two simple patterns, one a vase and the other a quail.

Hobert handed the jade pendant made of the "Order Crystal" to Eply: "This is a magical item that can keep people in good condition, I hope you can always keep it with you."

"The two patterns on it have the meaning of 'peace'."

It's just that only Hobert can understand the moral of this.

It wasn't a whim of his decision, first of all, Hobert felt the smell of family affection in her.

This can be seen from the magical items she prepared for Hobert, which definitely took a lot of thought.

This reminded Hobert of his mother in the A.D. era, and longing and sentimentality almost came to his heart together.

At the same time, Hobert felt as if she was trying to fight against something, and no matter what it was, he felt that he could not ignore it.

Of course, such a decision is also risky, and may make Eppoly's enemies realize where the power of the "founder" comes from.

But because of the anti-divination nature of the "Order Crystal", there is no need to be afraid of using it to divinate Hobert's own location, or anything about the "State of Disorder".

As long as he realizes that Epally really has an accident, he can withdraw the power in this "Order Crystal" to eliminate the risk.

Hobert almost weighed it up a bit and decided to take the risk and help Epally.

Obviously not expecting to receive Hobart's return salute, Epli smiled and said, "Then I'll take it." ”

She decides to use the ritual to completely cut off the connection between Hobert and Jade Pei when she returns, so as not to bring danger to Hobert.

It's just that she probably didn't think that unless Hobart had a clear will, ritual magic would not be able to sever the connection between them at all.

Hobert looked at Epally's delighted face, and thought again of the time when he bought a gift for his mother when he had paid his first month's salary.

So he smiled and said, "Mother." ”

Epli seemed to be greatly shaken: "You, you call again." ”

"Mother."

"Hahaha!" Epli with tears in her eyes: "I ......"

For a moment, she seemed unable to express her feelings at this moment in words.

At the same time, Hobart felt that Eply's whole temperament had changed, like suddenly turning into a majestic lioness!

Epli wiped away a handful of tears, gradually recovered from her excitement, and looked at Hobart with a kind face: "Child, take care of the magical item I gave you from the 'Cultivator' pathway!" ”

Hobert was about to ask what was so special about the magical item, but Eply said, "Don't worry Spike, He's spying on me, and if I leave, He'll be gone." ”

With that, she also disappeared.

Hobart stood in place for more than ten seconds, and called "Mother" to herself, which made her state change drastically?

It was a little later before Hobert went out to find Forthth.

Furth asked, "Lady Apelly is leaving?" ”

Hober nodded.

"The ring she gave me has the power to regenerate." "As long as it is not an immediate death, no matter how serious the injury, it can recover quickly.

"This, this is too precious."

Hobert smiled slightly, and when he saw that there was no one around, he whispered in Folth's ear, "That's my biological mother." ”

Furth didn't seem surprised by this: "That's too expensive, too." ”

……

In the days that followed, Hobart was a little worried about Epally's safety.

However, he has not received a signal from the "Order Crystal", and he is also very busy, and gradually, these worries have been put aside for the time being.

The order of Longtail Island is very stable, and Beckland's life has returned to its original boring and boring nature, and even the new Tarot Club has no new transactions and gains.

Hobart also traveled to the Southern Continent and brought the Extraordinaire team formed by the Balk family to Jeffrey City, where Captain Dunn trained them in the official Extraordinary.

After arranging these things, Hobert had time to call Helen, who had been promoted to "Witch of Pain": "Tell Jonathan that I have something to talk to him about." ”

It's time to talk about splitting Gnostic.

Helen asked Hobert with a fluttering eye, "Don't you see any difference between me and before?" ”

Hobert smiled, "I know, you're the 'Witch of Pain' now. ”

The smile on Helen's face vanished, "I'm going to tell President Jonathan about it." ”

In fact, her dressing style has changed dramatically, her previous dressing style was mainly sexy, but now she doesn't have to wear it at all, even if she is very conservative, her every move is also seductive.

The dress is conservative, but it is more reverie.

But Hobert, who also has a certain ability to "charm", seems to isolate all her attraction.

On the contrary, Hobert still wondered: they have all been promoted to sequence 5, even if they are unhappy, what kind of anger is there to be angry?

Hobert was waiting for Jonathan in the study of the Lord's Mansion that had just been rebuilt, and after more than an hour, the space of the study suddenly became illusory, and Jonathan seemed to have come out of another world: "I heard that you are looking for me. ”

Hobert stretched out his hand, "Please be seated." ”

He paused and said, "Please use the ability of 'Keeping Secrets'!" ”

Jonathan seemed to realize something and nodded, "No problem." ”

The whole study suddenly became illusory, as if a separate space had been carved out.

After Jonathan sat down, Hobert himself poured him a cup of tea: "The 'Founder' has promised to accept you. ”

Jonathan smiled, "That's great! ”

"But before that, there are some things to explain in advance."

"You say."

Hobert looked at Jonathan, "The Founder has promised to provide you with shelter during the full moon and blood moon to stop the curse's erosion of you.

"The Creator will also protect you from the Witch Church, but not from the other troubles you have caused.

"Of course, there are conditions for such asylum, and if necessary, you will fight for the 'Founder', and you can be assured that you will not be given combat missions beyond your strength.

"And there must be a team of 20 people, with at least 1 Sequence 5, 4 Sequence 6, 6 Sequence 7, and follow my orders.

"If someone dies in the line of duty, you have to supplement it, and the compensation standard is the compensation standard of the current compensation, but you have no right to meddle in all the affairs of this team in the future.

"Unless the others are 'founders' who give combat missions, you are completely free in normal times."

Jonathan couldn't believe it, this condition is very good!

At least it's better than now, when the entire Gnosis Society is under the orders of the Witch Church!

"One more request." Hobart said, "You have to elect a young man to help me take care of the kingdom of God of the 'Founder'.

"There are no requirements for sequence or gender, only loyalty to the 'founder.'"

Jonathan was slightly stunned: I wonder if the "founder" will like witches?

He cleared his throat before saying, "These conditions are all acceptable. ”

Hobert smiled: "The following is my personal request, because in the battle to block the angels of the Witch Church, it is basically me who organizes the relevant personnel to participate in the battle.

"I need your promise that you have no right to join in the division of the spoils of war in all the battles against the Witch Church.

"However, you can do some tasks, or make corresponding contributions, in exchange for corresponding loot."

Jonathan asked, "If we have people who die in the line of duty, can we get back their extraordinary characteristics?" ”

"Yes, I'll ask the angels to help you crush their extraordinary properties."

Jonathan nodded: "That's no problem. ”

Hobert smiled, "Then we will agree on the next Operation Blood Moon, when the time comes, you will pray to the 'Founder' together, and the 'Creator' will help you block the Blood Moon's whispering."

"At this time, the 'Primordial Witch' will definitely be able to detect that something is wrong, but before the Witch Church can react, you must take action immediately."

"I need some time to prepare." Jonathan said, "I'll contact you when I'm ready." ”

"No problem."

After talking about business, the two of them didn't have time to chat, and Jonathan left immediately.

Hobert, too, after rethinking the matter, returned to Beckland and went to the ball honestly.

At this time, it was the end of April, and the dance was not so frequent, but it still maintained the state of two performances in three days.

Towards the end of the ball, Hobert winked at Audrey a few times, which was the code they had agreed on, indicating that the two of them had agreed to go out for a barbecue together in the evening last week.

So after the prom, Audrey followed her parents home and rested as usual, acting out of the ordinary.

When the servants had left, Audrey sat up sharply again.

Susie on the carpet yawned, "Audrey, are you going out again?" ”

"Yes!" Audrey smiled, went to her cloakroom, and found the long dress and hat that had been prepared in advance.

This is the method she hinted at in her heart, and asked her personal maid Anne to buy it back.

Anne didn't notice anything wrong, and in her opinion, she had only received a reward from Miss Audrey, so she took the time to go out and buy a dress, a hat, and shoes.

It's just that she bought two of each, and she doesn't remember much about it later.

Changing into a long dress, Audrey combed a very ordinary-looking bun by learning from Anne, and just after combing her hair, she heard a knock on the door, Audrey smiled: "Audience! ”

"What audience?"

Audrey opened her mouth, it was her mother.

As soon as she focused on combing her hair, she didn't have time to make out the footsteps.

Audrey ran to the bed as fast as she could, dropping her hat on the carpet, her hair loose as she ran.

Outside Caitlin asked, "Audrey?" ”

"Please come in, Mom!" Audrey sighed in her heart that she was not very ladylike just now, but fortunately the etiquette teacher was not present.

Caitlin pushed the door open, "Honey, are you asleep?" ”

"I was just about to fall asleep." Audrey smiled.

"Were you talking about 'audience'?"

"Do I have one?" Audrey smiled while using psychological cues to tell her mother not to pay attention to her skirt: "Maybe I'm talking in my sleep."

"I was half-asleep and watching a show."

Caitlin didn't think much of it: "I suddenly remembered something very important......"

Audrey listened to her mother's very important things very nervously, and she was afraid that she would remember the knock on the door again at this time!

Finally, after her mother finished speaking, Audrey said that she was sleepy, and Caitlin kissed Audrey on the forehead and said goodnight before leaving.

Audrey's palms were already sweating nervously, and she couldn't imagine what would have happened if Hobert had knocked on the door and said the code during the conversation with her mother.

"I suddenly found out that taking you out to play is a very dangerous thing!" The door to the cloakroom was pushed open, and Hobert came out of it and said, "Sorry, I came in without knocking, it was really not a good time to knock on the door just now, and it was easy to be spotted standing in the hallway all the time." ”

Audrey breathed a sigh of relief: "Hobert, it's a good thing you didn't knock on the door just now. ”

Hobert joked, "Don't underestimate the insight of an intelligence officer." ”

In fact, don't underestimate the insight of a demigod.

Audrey realized that she was lying on the bed at this time, and that such a posture in front of a man was a little unladylike, so she quickly got up and straightened her skirt and went to comb her hair again.

Hopper was particularly overheaded, trying not to see Audrey's seductive appearance of loose hair and messy clothes just now: "Your dress is very suitable." ”

"Thank you." Audrey smiled, "Are we going to go out after midnight in the future?" ”

Hobert smiled, "After midnight, the night market will be dispersed."

"Well, why don't you find an opportunity to go out during the day and let me think about it, and say how about visiting the research that I invested in?

"When the carriage left the city, we changed our appearance, and we used the 'trip' back to Beckland, where we could take the rental carriage to visit more places."

Audrey's eyes lit up: "Good idea! ”

If it were meant to visit Hobart's research project, my father and mother would not have stopped him.

"Well, that's for later." Hobart stretched out a hand very gentlemanly: "Shall we go?" ”

Audrey changed her appearance, picked up her hat and put it on: "Of course! ”

When she shook Hobert's hand, she suddenly remembered something: "Susie, I'll bring you supper." ”

As he spoke, the figures of the two men disappeared.

Susie looked at the place where the two people disappeared: "Actually, you can take me with you." ”

Coming to the night market again, they first went to visit the jewelry area that Audrey had in mind, and Audrey found that this time she visited the night market, which was far from being as fresh as last time.

After strolling around for a while, the two of them found a corner, and Hobert once again used "travel" to take her to a villa in the suburbs.

After leaving Beckland, Audrey found that today's moonshine was very good.

In the bright moonlight, she saw the surrounding countryside: "Here is? ”

"This is a villa that I have people rent, so I won't tell you where it is." Hobert smiled and said, "Go and take out the meat and vegetables skewered in the house, and I'll make a fire." ”
