The "Ancient Scholar" didn't mean to deal with Hobart alone, he just led the puppets to follow from a distance, as if he was really enjoying the game.

Hobert didn't have any idea of going back and killing the other party, because he knew very well that if the other party had summoned one or two angels from the "hole in history", the only thing Hobart could do was to ask the "founder" for help.

After running after each other for a morning, Hobert still did not lose his general direction, and kept moving in the direction of Marcy.

Probably because his goal was too clear, while passing through a barren valley, a high wall of fire suddenly appeared in front of him.

Immediately, the two Fursacks who had been chasing Hobert and Alice before were blocked in front.

Two other men dressed in Republic of Antis costumes were also blocking Hobert, but from their positions, they were wary of the two Fursaks.

However, at this time, Hobart was their common target, because in the last two days, they almost broke their legs in search of Hobert, and after stopping Hobert, they almost immediately pounced.

Seeing that this battle was inevitable, Hobert had to put Alice aside and prepare to fight with all his might.

At this time, the "ancient scholars" also led their secret puppets to catch up from behind.

The big man with the appearance of the Vrsack was the demigod of the "Hunter" route who had previously tested the royal delegation of the Rune royal family, Porunov.

In the ancient Phosak language, he complained to the "ancient scholars": "If you could have killed them that night, there wouldn't have been so much trouble." ”

The "Ancient Scholar" smiled: "You also agreed to my plan at that time, and everyone didn't want to be infamous for killing Princess Rune, so they had to drive back to Beckland."

"It's only because some idiot let them escape from under their noses that we have to run around looking for them."

Porunov snorted coldly and did not say anything more.

Hobert, who was stuck in the middle, watched them talk, and considered whether to release the "Bull Demon King" and the "Great Sage of the Sea" to help?

The "ancient scholar" said: "Do it, I have done divination, this kid is a source of danger, if the three of us besiege together, I will encounter some danger."

"But if the two of you besiege him, I'm not in any danger."

Hobert was slightly stunned at first, and then sighed in his heart that it was no wonder that the "soothsayer" was difficult to kill, and he believed that if he entered the "country of disorder", this guy would definitely turn around and run.

Moreover, the other party's divination is very sophisticated, obviously bypassing the "disordered country" and directly divining his own safety.

The two men dressed in the style of the Republic of Antis said submissively, "Yes, Mr. Brandon. ”

But Porunov sneered: "It's a mystery." ”

However, in his opinion, his two demigods, two sequence 5, can completely defeat Hobart and capture Alice alive, and this "god stick" will not help if he doesn't help.

Hobert was ready for battle at this time, so he took the first step: "Order!" ”

A "Tree of Order" covering several hundred meters has risen from the ground, and it is currently a dozen or two, of course he has to deal with it carefully, he decided to try it first, under the attack of the two demigods, how long can he hold on if he does it with all his might? Is it possible to counter-kill?

If the "ancient scholars" make a move or want to run away for a while, they simply "invite" the "founders" to take action and kill them all.

The "Wood of Order" gave Porunov and the other four people a certain psychological impact, but the two demigods from different countries quickly reined in their emotions and launched a flanking attack on Hobart from different directions.

Porunov's body was suddenly covered with a layer of flames from the inside out, and he threw a punch at Hobart, which was a "fatal attack"!

The demigod of the Republic of Intis, named Cornell, was also a "Predator Knight" who blocked Hobert's retreat with a fiercely burning wall of fire.

Two Sequence 5s, who are very self-aware and do not participate in the battle between the demigods, are waiting for an opportunity to bypass the battlefield and prepare to capture Alice.

Hobert reached out and Porunov's fist slammed into Cornell.

With the blessing of the "Wood of Order", the strength and duration of Hobert's "Twist" have increased a lot!

Cornell quickly dodged, and dozens of fire ravens flew out of his back and smashed them towards Hobert.

As a result, these fire crows turned on the way and actually rushed to Porunov!

The flames on Porunov's body burned violently, blocking the fire crow's attack: "Don't help! ”

Cornell frowned and took a step back, intending to watch the two men fight first.

Hobert over there had already rushed over and stabbed Porunov with a sword.

A blazing spear appeared in Porunov's hand, blocking Hobert's attack, and the flames on his body swelled violently, nearly engulfing Hobart in flames.

Hobert withdrew his sword slightly, slashed it in mid-air, and once again cut a gap in the underworld as if it were cutting through wallpaper, sucking away basically all the flames on Porunov's body, leaving only a faint layer of flames.

Brandon, the "ancient scholar" who was sitting on a stone on the periphery of the battlefield and watching the battle, clapped his hands and expressed his appreciation for Hobert's treatment.

And Alice, who was also on the edge of the battlefield, pinched the sweat for Hobert.

At the same time, she didn't dare to let her guard down, and according to Hobert's instructions just now, she paid attention to the movements of the two Sequence 5s.

On the battlefield, the gap in the underworld quickly disappeared, and Porunov wanted to trap Hobart with the "Burning Wall", but his "Burning Wall" turned around under Hobert's "twist", and finally surrounded Cornell, who was ready to attack at any time.

Porunov has also fought with many "fallen counts", and today is the first time to see this kind of "twist" that seems to be a trick and can be used continuously!

Without the blessing of the "Wood of Order", Hobert's "Twist" would not have been as free to send and receive as it is now, he could only "twist" the direction of the "Burning Wall", but he could not continuously "twist" the direction of these skills.

Generally, the "fatal attack" of the "Predator Knight" can only "twist" the opponent's "lethal", but it cannot "twist" the entire attack.

After some probing, Porunov knew what the other side was strengthening under the canopy.

His response to this was to dodge Hobart's attack and quickly retreat without taking the initiative.

He has a fire on him and is so agile that Hobert can't keep up with him even if he "zooms in" his speed.

Now Hobert finally knows that the other party did not cheat when digesting the "Hunter" potion, because the other party has obviously discovered that the "Wood of Order" has a time limit, so he can delay it and look for opportunities.

Hobert did his bidding, as if he was trying his best to catch up, and finally, when the position and timing were right, the thin sword in his hand suddenly lengthened, and stabbed Porunov.

This shocked Porunov, but luckily he had a magical item that could generate the "Dawn Armor" in a small area, and although the range was small, it was enough to block most demigod-level attacks.

Realizing that he hadn't pierced Porunov's skin, Hobert immediately withdrew his sword, then leaped backwards, his sword lengthening again, stabbing a man who attempted to bypass the battlefield Sequence 5.

The moment Sequence 5 was stabbed, his entire body was covered in flames to stop the spread of the injury.

Soon, however, the flames were gone, leaving only Sequence 5 shivering and falling to the ground.

His spirit had been stabbed, and the power of the underworld had invaded his body with the Rapier, making him instantly incapacitated.

Brandon, who was sitting on the stone watching the play, said, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you just now that the sword in his hand can change shape at will. ”

Porunov gritted his teeth at this, because it was the Sequence 5 of the Vorsak Empire who was stabbed just now.

But he didn't have time to care about his subordinates at this time, and he didn't even have time to scold, because he found that his body was becoming stiff, and the flames on his body were almost gone.

This is the effect of the "Word of the Dead" attached to Hobert's Rapier, although this effect is not so obvious, but it can be stacked, and the longer the battle lasts, the greater the impact on the opponent!

From the very beginning, Hobert had been using Azik's land markers to "tamper" with his surroundings and make them more favorable to the powers of the underworld.

"Zoom in!" Hobert's next attack amplifies the "Words of the Dead" attached to the rappier.

It was as if Porunov had heard a terrible whisper, and it was as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his limbs seemed to be constantly screaming while his body was frozen and stiff.

"Chaos!" Hobert's counterattack began, and while his opponent was in a state of "chaos", he threw his opponent flying in the direction of the tree trunk with one punch.

Since the thin sword can't stab the opponent for a while, it's better to simply use your fist!

At the same time, his attack is also to prevent the opponent from escaping the canopy.

Porunov was actually very cautious, he had been far away from the center of the canopy, but at this time he was punched back by Hobart.

The moment he hit the trunk of the tree, he suddenly turned into a cloud of flames that shot in all directions, and these flames closed in front of him and reconstituted Porunov.

His lips were purple from the cold, and he complained to Cornell, "You can't be a little helped." ”

Cornell snorted coldly and used the "Burning Wall" to temporarily block Hobert who was chasing after him.

He also discovered that if it was under the canopy, neither he nor Porunov would be able to deal with Hobart alone, and of course he could no longer stand idly by at this time.

Porunov took advantage of this respite to take out a bottle of liquor from his clothes as if by juggling, and drank it in a few sips, and his whole state seemed to be much better.

Brandon, who was sitting on the stone, pinched the delicate beard on his chin and said a little strangely: "He was beaten into a ball of sparks just now, where is the wine hidden?" ”

Alice over there suddenly remembered a joke about the Fursack: "You never know where they'll hide their wine; If you accidentally ruin his wine, then congratulations, this could be the last thing you do in your life. ”

Brandon bowed slightly: "I've heard these two jokes too." ”

On the battlefield at this time, the siege of Hobart by Porunov and Cornell had already taken shape.

Just like their tentative attack at the beginning, one person's attack will definitely not be able to beat Hobart, and the attack of two people will be easily used by Hobart.

This is the characteristic of those who have an extraordinary approach to "lawyers", and sometimes it is as difficult to deal with one enemy as it is to deal with two.

It's just that with two enemies, Hobart has little chance of counterattacking.

Porunov and Cornell share the same idea, which is to maintain the current state, and when the duration of the "Wood of Order" is over, the two of them will definitely be able to defeat Horott.

Of course, Hobert also knew the other party's intentions, and while "twisting" the opponent's attack, his long-planned counterattack plan began.

When Hobert had the opportunity, he suddenly used the "Psychic Cup" to summon the "Gate of the Underworld".

The ability of this sequence level 5 is difficult to play much of a role in the demigod war according to common sense.

However, the environment under the canopy strengthened its power, and then Hobert took a hard punch from Porunov and slashed with his thin sword, cutting a huge "gap in the underworld".

Many ill-intentioned hands reached out, as if they wanted to grasp something.

This made the two "Predator Knights" feel like they were falling into an ice cave again, and they reacted almost simultaneously, escaping as fast as they could, out of the canopy.

In a normal environment, the power from the underworld is not so strong, and they can use their own flames to dispel the coldness on their bodies.

But the environment under this canopy is not normal.

Originally, they thought that Hobert would never leave the canopy, but they didn't expect Hobart to chase him out and stab Porunov with a sword: "Use! ”

The miraculous item on Porunov's body appeared again in stress, but it was "used" by Hobart to end the duration early.

The sword that Hobert had endured until now finally pierced Porunov's chest.

The price of this blow was that Hobert was also pierced through the abdomen by Cornell's blazing white spear.

"Gift!" Hobart immediately "gifted" most of the injuries from Porunov's punch and the injuries caused by the blazing spear to Cornell.

Cornell's chest suddenly became visibly dented, and his abdomen was severely injured, and his whole body was suddenly covered in flames, and a bright red flame ignited from his chest and abdomen.

After the flames on his body disappeared, the red flames at the wound were still there, and by the time the red flames were gone, most of the wounds had healed.

"Zoom in!" Hobert took advantage of this opportunity to magnify the wound on Porunov's chest, and the wound immediately became very hideous, and a lot of thick black liquid flowed out.

Hobert stabbed with a sword again, and part of Porunov's body completely turned into flames, allowing Hobert's sword to pierce into the air.

Even if he was as strong as a demigod, Porunov felt that his body and ability were a little disobedient, and Hobart no longer used his sword and punched directly, but he couldn't dodge.

The force of the punch sent Porunov flying again, but Hobart "tampered with" the density of the air in the direction he flew out, making Porunov immediately feel that he had hit an airtight wall.

Hobert stepped forward and kicked again, at this time Hobert was more like the "Predator Knight", with fists to the flesh and feet with wind, beating this demigod of the Fusak Empire without the power to fight back.

At this moment, Cornell stepped forward to block Hobert's attack, but an illusory door suddenly appeared between the two men.

This was the ability of the button that Hobert had received from the royal family, and it was not used until the crucial moment of the counterattack.

Cornell looked at Brandon, who was still sitting on the stone, the "ancient scholar" still had no intention of making a move.

After a little thought, Cornell decided to attack Hobart and it was best to take advantage of this opportunity to seriously injure him.

By this time, Porunov was covered in blood, which reminded him of a fight with the senior students when he was in school.

Only at that time did he be beaten so fat.

Hobert threw another punch, but this one only hit his opponent's chest, and Porunov shook violently.

At this time, his internal organs are experiencing a series of non-stop explosions, which is the ability of "1-109": Flesh Bomb, which he received from the "Black Knight" of the Aurora Society.

As soon as the enemy is wounded, it can be detonated when it starts to bleed.

When Hobart fought the "Black Knight" before, he was blown out twice and knew the power of the bomb very well.

After continuous detonation, Porunov's internal organs had been blown to pieces, and although he could turn part of his body into flames to avoid fatal damage, the explosion in his chest and abdomen could not avoid all the damage.

As if his whole person had been hollowed out, Porunov rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

Hobert's counterattack was like a smooth flow, and ten seconds ago, he was still at a disadvantage, but at this time he had already severely injured a demigod.

That's also Hobert's fighting style right now, and once he gets his chance, his counterattack isn't something that many demigods can withstand.

Connell's attack finally arrived at this time, and he turned into a cloud of flame, bypassing the illusory door, and striking Hobart with a fist of fire the moment Porunov fell.

By this time they were out of the canopy, and Hobert only "twisted" the extraordinary damage attached to the punch, but he himself was still sent flying.

Cornell appeared in mid-air like a streamer of light, kicking Hobart in the abdomen.

A mouthful of blood spurted out of Hobert's mouth, this was not an ordinary blow, but a "slaughter", and even if each blow did not hit Hobert's weak point, the place where it was hit would become a weak point, so he suffered a heavy blow.

This ability consumes a lot of Spirit, but it is the best way to attack if you have the opportunity to get close to the enemy.

"Chaos!" Using his extraordinary abilities, Hobart dodged Cornell's next blow.

When he fell to the ground, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

Cornell continued his offensive with a "lethal attack" this time.

In a head-to-head battle, the Predator's attack was quite formidable, but when he was under the canopy of the Wood of Order just now, he didn't have a chance to use it at all.

"Weakened!" In order to inflict heavy damage on Porunov in one fell swoop, Hobart used most of his hidden strength in one fell swoop, which led to Cornell occupying a certain initiative.

The injured Hobart quickly changed his tactics, trying to avoid the opponent's frontal attack, and while defending, he added a wave of negative status to the opponent first.

An orange flame suddenly burned under Hobert's feet, and he quickly turned his head to avoid it, and even his pants were on fire: "Gift!" ”

He "gifted" most of his injuries to Cornell again.

A few jet-black fire ravens flew out from Cornell's back, sending out most of Hobart's "gift" in the form of flames.

That's when the trap he "laid" worked, and Hobert stepped into the air and opened his arms to maintain balance.

In combat, this is definitely a redundant and deadly move.

The "hunter" has reached the demigod level, and this simple trap can be created almost "out of thin air", he can keenly detect that there is a hole under the surface, and use it, under his influence, let the "prey" step on the trap accurately.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cornell punched Hobert, which was a "fatal attack"!

Hobert "twisted" the opponent's "fatal" damage again, and while he was knocked out, he used: "Related!" ”

He strengthened the bond between Cornell and Porunov, making Cornell very worried about the injury of his temporary comrade-in-arms Porunov and eager to go over and check it out.

Hobert fell to the ground and rolled before getting back to his feet.

Although he was embarrassed just now, he had already "sent" most of the damage he had received.

This is where his counterattack begins, and when Cornell is "weakened" and "gifted", the effects of the three abilities such as "association" will be enhanced.

As soon as Cornell came back to his senses from the "connection", Hobert's "arrogant" ability fell on him, which made him feel that Brandon's bystanders were really hateful, and he rushed over to teach him a lesson.

Hobert attacked from behind and kicked him down: "Charm! ”

Connell suddenly felt that although Hobert had kicked himself down, he felt a little tired from the battle just now, and it was good to lie down.

Hobert stepped forward and stepped on Cornell with one foot, and the thin sword in his hand suddenly turned into a two-handed broadsword, and the sword was about to cut off the opponent's head.

At this time, one of Brandon's puppets with a sword in his hand rushed over and blocked the fatal blow for Cornell.

Hobert immediately jumped out of the way, and he felt that the puppet should have the level of a demigod.

Connell scrambled to his feet and stepped back to Brandon's side.

Brandon smiled, "You lost because you were deceived by the illusion he created in the first place.

"It seems to me that he summoned this great tree to give him some blessings for his abilities, but he knows very well that such blessings are not enough to deal with two demigods at the same time.

"So from the beginning he was dividing you from you, and as for the purpose of his summoning this big tree, it was just to make you think that he was going to rely on this big tree, and that he couldn't leave the canopy.

"So you think it's good to retreat out of the canopy as long as you encounter danger.

"This is the time when you take it most lightly, and it's the best time for him to strike back.

"Porunov, this idiot, didn't understand, and you didn't understand, when you used 'slaughter' just now, you obviously had an advantage.

"But your subconscious still thinks that as long as you are not under the canopy, you can defeat him, but he turned his disadvantage into an advantage little by little, and the last blow will kill!"

Brandon laughed: "This is the 'lawyer', who creates loopholes for himself and uses the loopholes he creates to defeat the enemy." ”

Hobert was slightly stunned, this was indeed the tactic he thought of when facing the two demigods.

Although there was a small mistake in the implementation, it was harmless, and in the end he won, and if it were not for Brandon's rescue, he would definitely have completed the feat of "double kill".

However, Brandon's rescue is inevitable, after all, they are all extraordinary people in the Republic of Intis.

Connell looked teachable, and at the same time he looked at Hobert as if he was a little gloating, because after this evaluation, it meant that Brandon was about to make a move.

"You guys go first." Brandon said, "I'll leave it here." ”

Cornell nodded, "Yes, Mr. Brandon." ”

Hobert slowly retreated under the canopy of the "Wood of Order" and beckoned Alice to step back in.

If the other party is just a "trickster", Hobert will try to fight with the other party, but if it is an "ancient scholar", then don't even think about it, just shake people, who knows who they will summon to help?

When Cornell and the others left the valley, Brandon suddenly made a move, but instead of attacking Hobert, a secret puppet suddenly lunged, and a sword pierced Polunov's head, pinning him to the ground.

Just now, Porunov, who was seriously injured, was also about to take advantage of this opportunity to sneak away, but died under the sword of Brandon's secret puppet.

"How about we talk about what to do with the loot?" Brandon smiled: "The sword I just now can be regarded as participating in the war, and of course Porunov belongs to you."

"But the 'Reaper' who is not dead belongs to me, and it is the secret puppet you made up for the damage you gave me in the morning."

Hobert was slightly stunned, not understanding the other party's intentions.

"If you don't speak, I'll take you by default." With a wave of his hand, Brandon pulled out the sword that had been inserted into his head and kicked the demigod's corpse in front of Hobert.

Sequence 5, who had been stabbed by Hobert earlier, stood up from the ground like a corpse and joined the queue of Brandon's secret puppet.

At this time, the maintenance time of the "Wood of Order" was up, and the canopy of the tree quickly shrank, and finally turned into an ordinary wooden stick.

Brandon suddenly waved his hand: "It's game over, you guys go with the loot." ”

Hobert was still careful to guard against Brandon: "That sounds like a lame lie. ”

"Hahahaha." Brandon smiled heartily, "It stands to reason that the Republic of Antis cares more about this meeting of yours than the Vorsack Empire.

"After all, Lenburg is not far from the Republic, although it does not border us.

"That's why they asked me to do it, and I had to sabotage the meeting.

"But from what I've just received, there has been little real progress in this meeting, so there's no need to continue to block you."

Hobert understood: "This big man of the Vorsack Empire does not know that you have lost your common purpose and have gone from friends to enemies.

"And I killed a demigod of the Vorsack Empire, once again deepening the contradictions between the two countries, and for the Republic of Intis, I also eliminated a demigod opponent for you."

Brandon smiled: "The kid is very smart, but this guy is not stupid, in order to send him to death willingly, I didn't even tell Cornell the news from Marcy's side."

"So after the two people met, although they defended each other, they still looked like they had the same hatred."

Hobert exclaimed, "What an abominable 'soothsayer'! ”

Then he suddenly retorted and asked, "You're a friend of my biological father Rex, aren't you?" ”

Alice on the side was slightly stunned, after all, Rex was the "legendary colonel" more than twenty years ago, and she had heard some of his deeds in the palace.

The smile on Brandon's face disappeared, and he stared at Hobert for a moment before saying, "You are much more attentive than your father, and you have even noticed my hints." ”

When Hobert heard Brandon call "little friend" for the first time, he felt like he had heard it somewhere.

The second time he heard this title, he suddenly remembered that he had not heard it somewhere, but had seen it.

In the room where the corpse of the ancient Grim Reaper was parked on the outskirts of Beckland, Hobart had obtained a note from Rex, on which was the message "Rex's soothsayer friend".

The message addressed Hobart was: Little friend!

"A lot of your reactions are too similar to Rex's, especially the shameless energy." Brandon smiled, and that was the reason for his previous laughs.

Then he spread his hands: "How about the meeting gift I gave you?" A demigod of the Frasak Empire is enough for you to be rewarded. ”

Hobert looked at Brandon with a serious expression.

Brandon smiled a little embarrassedly, "Well, I didn't expect us to meet in this format, I originally planned to wait for you to come back to you in Sequence 3." ”

"What are you looking for me?"

"I'll tell you if you should be promoted to Sequence 2," Brandon smiled, "But you can just listen to my divination results, at least your father didn't listen to them at all."

"In addition, your father has put together some of the gains we have made from our expeditions together in one place, which is his legacy to you.

"It also includes some of the Trenthorst's legacy and documents, which he entrusted Christine and me to witness your inheritance."

Hobart smiled and said, "Sounds pretty good. ”

Brandon spread his hands: "But I heard that you seem to be quite rich, at least richer and more powerful than when I was younger. ”

He smiled slightly: "Today is not the time to catch up, our chat may cause you trouble, fortunately, I have a secret puppet of the 'audience' way, how about he help you forget the conversation we just had?" ”

Alice raised her hand slightly and said, "Hello Mr. Brandon, I have a way to circumvent interrogation. ”

"Good boy with good manners." Brandon smiled.

Hobert said: "I also have a way to circumvent it. ”

"Ah, stinky boy, you haven't even called me uncle until now, even if you are like this princess and call me Mr. Sheng." As he spoke, Brandon got up and left.

Hobert, who didn't reply while walking, said: "Take me to say hello to Christine, this guy's plan to go undercover before was very exciting!" ”

Soon, Brandon and his secret puppets disappeared into the sparse woods.

Hobert was a little uneasy, and still stared at the direction Brandon left for a while, because Hobert was not very sure, whether this guy was a friend of Rex?

Even if it's Rex's friend, it's not his Hobart friend, after so many years, who knows if there will be any affection?

After waiting for a while, Hobert crouched next to Porunov's corpse and stretched out his hand to "graze" the demigod.

He infused his spirit into '1-109' and used the ability of "grazing", so he immediately felt that "1-109" in the shape of a leather bracelet seemed to be very vicious.

With a slight force, "1-109" sucked out Porunov's spirit, and the expression of the other spirit's body was slightly distorted, as if it was experiencing great pain.

Soon, Hobart felt that he had three options to choose from, and "1-109" did not offer any options, but as long as the spirit had the ability, he could choose.

Hobert had long since considered "slaughter", "lethal attack", and "fire raven".

After making the selection, a small groove appeared on the leather bracelet of "1-109", and then a blood-red gem filled the groove.

At this point, the whole process of "grazing" is completed.

Hobert retrieved two more magical items from Porunov, and then he looked for a place to sit down a little tiredly: "Let's rest before we go." ”

The battle just now consumed a lot of his spirituality, and the key was that he could only "send" most of his injuries every time, and he had actually accumulated a lot of pain.

He used the "Fork of Healing" to heal himself twice, but the injuries caused by the previous "massacre" took two or three days to recover before they could be completely healed.

……

In Marcy City, there is a small signing ceremony at half past four in the afternoon, but since Princess Alice has not yet been found, it is inevitable that the event will end in a tiger's head.

In the past two days, local politicians of the two countries have been blaming and passing the buck to each other, and although everyone has gritted their teeth and said that the event was a success, no one knows that this exchange will definitely backfire.

Even if Princess Alice returns home unharmed, politicians from both countries will definitely attack each other.

But to everyone's surprise, just as the signing ceremony was about to begin, Princess Alice appeared!

She wore a noble court dress, no makeup, and only a simple bun.

He was followed by Count Hobert, who had not appeared in the past few days.

Before everyone could inquire, the signing ceremony began, and Princess Alice was still signing the contract on the side of the royal delegation of the Kingdom of Rune.

She took a look at the results of the negotiations that had been going on for the past week, and as Brandon said, there had been no substantial progress at all!

However, with Alice signing the agreement, it is equivalent to drawing a successful end to the event.

In the evening, the royal families of the two countries attended a farewell ball, and it took Ethel a lot of effort to find a Hobart in the corner of the ball who didn't want to dance.

She smiled, "You guys are back beyond everyone's expectations."

"After our review, we should have been attacked by an 'Ancient Scholar' and a Level 0 Seal that night.

"But the other party doesn't seem to be planning to hurt us, in the end, only you and Alice are gone, obviously you are stuck somewhere, and the other party intends to use this to sabotage this exchange."

Hobert yawned, "The escape process was indeed quite difficult. ”

"Anyway, welcome back." Ethel smiled and raised his glass: "I'm really fed up with those stupid politicians, and the successful conclusion of this exchange event will at least deprive them of a reason to quarrel." ”

The two of them clinked glasses and took a sip of wine together, and Ethel said meaningfully: "Remember to write to me." ”

Hobert nodded, knowing that the other party was reminding him that after the Castile family secretly believed in the "founder", he must write to him.

Early the next morning, the two sides left Marcy by train.

This made the Marcy royal family finally breathe a long sigh of relief.

For the next two days, Alice and Hobart did not show up much, and they did not talk openly about the princess's disappearance.

It wasn't until back in Beckland that Hobert and Alice were questioned separately.

It was Georgina, the chief of MI9, who asked Hobert, and the duchess asked him politely, like a chat between colleagues.

After all, Hobert's contribution to this incident is not small.

Most of the experiences of those two days can be told honestly, as for how Porunov's extraordinary characteristics were handled, Hobart brushed it off, and Georgina didn't ask in detail, they had already tacitly acquiesced that it was Hobart's trophy.

The part that can't be said is mainly the intimate contact with the princess, and the experience of two people admiring each other's figures.

Georgina could probably detect something Hobert was hiding based on the situation at the time, and she certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to ask.

When Hobart returned to the Earl's Court, it was already past 6 p.m., and the 11-day mission had finally come to an end.

As a result, Hobart missed a tarot meeting, in which the "world" and the "hanged man" made an appointment to explore the aforementioned island in the near future.

The "World" asks the "Emperor" through the "Fool" when he will have time, and in the end, they set the time for the exploration to be three days later at night.

Georgina gives Hobert a few days off to give him a good rest.

The next day, Hobart had planned to rest for a day at the Earl's Court, but in the morning, the king and queen both sent a reward for Hobert's protection of Alice, and MI9 also sent a commendation order.

Hobart entertains and greets guests almost non-stop.

In the afternoon, many nobles who had some friendship with Hobart sent gifts to congratulate Hobart on his meritorious service.

It was accompanied by Audrey and Viscount Glerinte, who came to visit.

In the living room, Audrey smiled and said, "Congratulations to you Hobert, I heard that you are very likely to be promoted to major general because of this meritorious service." ”

Hobert smiled: "After being promoted to major general, I can pay dozens of pounds more every month." ”

"And the part where you choose between your personal safety and national interests, I look at it quite touching."
