Based on limited clues, Dunn made a very logical guess about this strange and extraordinary case.

He also deduced what happened from the description of this case by Raymont and others.

About three weeks ago, a cloud of black fog covered Mike's village, and when the black fog receded, the village was left with a miserable white skeleton.

Since then, the villagers have been dead, but they have not noticed this and are still working normally.

Because the harvest season is not far away, the villagers are not very mobile, and no one has noticed this.

The skeleton basically affected the corpses of the entire Lobi Town, whether it was a freshly dead or a long-dead corpse, it was a living corpse.

It wasn't until the Special Operations Department was involved that the skeleton disappeared, and so did the effect.

It is precisely because of the restoration of the entire case and the combing of clues that Dunn finally guessed that the murderer would definitely come back to check after learning that the bones were gone, and even come back to try to manipulate the corpses of the villagers again.

So under Dunn's organization, Helen and Elliott set up an ambush.

As Dunn had expected, the black mist reappeared in the early hours of this morning, and the corpses of the villagers were alive again.

However, the extraordinary person hidden in the black fog was very alert, discovered the ambush of Dunn and the others, and quickly left.

Helen and the others immediately launched a pursuit! The other party knew all about the uninhabited mountainous areas, so Helen guessed that the people of the Blood Cult were helping him.

chased until noon today, but still let the other party escape.

However, in the process of pursuit, some clues were discovered, and a new round of pursuit could be launched soon.

The reason why Hobart was called to help was because during the pursuit, the extraordinary person of the Special Operations Department had a fight with the other party, and Helen found that the other party actually showed a demigod-level ability!

Fortunately, the second team was large in number, and there were level 2 seals provided by the lord's mansion, so only people were injured but did not die in the line of duty.

Dunn pointed to the pile of white bones like a pile of grain: "That's probably some bones that the other party collected from the surroundings, I checked it just now, and most of them are animals."

According to divination, this pile of bones has a close relationship with the murderer, but the other party should have a certain anti-divination ability, and it is impossible to use these bones to divinate the location of the murderer.

"But we can also find the traces of the other party through other methods of divination."

The "Skeleton Lord" is not strictly a demigod, but there are always some animals, insects and other creatures that die wherever it passes.

So the "astrologer" only needs to divinate this unnatural death to find some clues.

Hobert looked at the pile of bones and suddenly remembered something, and he asked Dunn, "Have you ever heard of such an extraordinary creature as the Skeleton Lord?" ”

Dunn thought back for a moment and shook his head.

Hobert thinks about it, Dunn is only an official extraordinary at the captain level "before his death", and he should not have access to this level of information.

It stands to reason that Helen's level in the Gnosis Society is higher than Dunn's, but the intelligence of organizations like the Gnosis Society in the Extraordinary Realm is much worse than that of the Orthodox Church! Helen also had no information about the "Skeleton Lord".

Hobart then explained, "I got a piece of information last year that there might be one, or a skeleton lord, in the South Coulson area.

"And the Skeleton Lord's eyes are said to be one of the main materials of the 'Reaper' path sequence 4."

The "janitor" who died in the room where the corpse of the ancient Grim Reaper was parked, Hobert didn't know how long he had been dead, and he hadn't heard of rumors about the "Skeleton Lord" since he came to South Coulson, so Hobart thought it had left here.

Who knew that the "Skeleton Lord" was still hiding in the mountains.

Dunn nodded: "I see, it makes sense, why did the murderer choose to flee when he had demigod-level abilities." ”

The previous round-up Dunn and Helen and others had already realized that if the murderer was a demigod, there was no need to escape.

After all, the Special Operations Department only has Helen in the South Coulson area at this time, and a demigod can wipe them out.

So Dunn and the others all guessed that the other party might be a Sequence 5, but it was very likely that there was a Level 1 seal. I called Hobert to deal with the Level 1 seal.

Now that you know what the murderer is, it's even better!

When the next group of people followed the clue to start a new roundup,

After discussing a few words with the "astrologers", Hobert found that their divination results were not as good as their own "associations", after all, the layers were placed here.

So the next action is for Hobert to look for clues in front. In the process of continuing the pursuit, Hobert said to Helen: "After this case is over, I will apply for certain permissions for you."

"If you need a Level 1 seal in the future, you can pray to the 'Founder', prepare a 'giving' ceremony, get the help of the corresponding seal, and then sacrifice to the 'Founder' after solving the problem."

Helen was a little surprised, it was a level 1 seal! Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with the seal?

Then she shook her head and smiled: "In that case, I will die a terrible death."

So Helen nodded: "Yes!" ”

In the course of the ensuing search, they found two more piles of bones, but they did not find the "Skeleton Lord" until late at night.

This is where Dunn's previous method of "drawing maps" comes into play, and he thinks that these piles of bones must have some special meaning to the "Skeleton Lord".

Since the other party is a "lord", will these piles of bones prove that this is part of its rule? You can try again with the map to find further clues.

After marking the location of the three skull piles, I found the rules for the placement of the skull piles, although they are in different directions, but they have a common center point.

Once again, everyone sighed at the practicality of this method.

Dunn took the opportunity to explain that this method is only useful in certain circumstances, such as this extraordinary creature with territorial awareness, but it is not a panacea.

Either way, everyone was impressed with Dunn's experience.

At this time, it was already late at night, and in order to prevent the "Skeleton Lord" from going out to attack the villagers again, everyone looked for them overnight with a horse lantern.

The extraordinary creature of this level at least has the wisdom of a normal person, and it knows that although it has been discovered, as long as it returns to the territory it has operated for a long time, it is not afraid of those extraordinary people who are only below the demigod.

Climbing over another mountain, everyone found a town with a miserable white "light" in the col.

The streets there look like a lot of pedestrians, and if it weren't for the unusual color of the lights, it would look like a mountain town with a lot of nightlife.

It's just that although the town seems to be full of people, there is no sound at all, and there are not only "pedestrians" but also some wild beasts on the streets.

This made a term pop up in Hobert's mind: ghost city!

When everyone saw that town, everyone seemed to have a delusion, and that town also "saw" them!

There was no time to rest, and the extraordinaries of the Special Operations Department immediately launched a raid battle!

Furth and Donna, who came with him, also joined the assault, and Hobert glanced at Forthth, who understood and kept protecting Donna, who seemed a little excited.

When they reached the vicinity of the town, a faint smell of rancid smell wafted in, and everyone found that the "residents" of the town spontaneously organized themselves to meet the enemy as if they had encountered a foreign enemy.

Most of them were ordinary living corpses, some were still intact, some were already visible white bones, and some of them were mixed with some dead extraordinary.

Helen, Elliott and the others are ready for a fierce battle.

But just as the two sides were about to fight, Hobert, who was rushing to the front, suddenly pulled out his thin sword and cut a "gap in the underworld".

Those living corpses seemed to have seen something horrible that they had never seen before or after death, and they turned around and ran away!

But after a few steps, they fell in pieces, turning into normal corpses.

There were only a few living corpses left that had once been the Grim Reaper's Path Extraordinary, but they couldn't even stand up under the pressure of that rapier's blade.

Helen and other members of the Special Operations Department were stunned for a full 3 seconds before they seemed to come back to their senses and stepped forward to eliminate these living corpses that were still "holding on".

At this time, a black fog emerged from the ground of the town, and Helen and the others retreated backwards and waited for it.

Hobert stepped forward and said, "Everyone get out of town, I'll deal with it!" ”

Helen sighed in her heart: This is a demigod? An extraordinary battle was thus resolved by the other side.

While thinking, she organized everyone to withdraw from the town.

Donna, who originally wanted to show her strength, just ran out of breath when she charged, and she didn't even touch the corners of the enemy's clothes, and was about to withdraw from the town.

She looked at Hobert, who was going deep into the town alone: "I didn't expect that Hobert is already so powerful!" ”

Firth on the side just smiled and didn't say anything.

Then Furth also looked at Hobert's back, and there was some worry in his eyes.

But it's not that Hobart can't solve the "Skeleton Lord", but that Hobart is worried about his current duties. The risk taken by the demigods is greater than in Sequence 5!

Hobert in the town "twisted" the gray mist, and a passage appeared in front of him, and he walked step by step into the black fog containing the breath of death.

Hobert remembers fighting the island's Feathered Serpent, and it once spewed a black mist out of it.

However, at the level of angels, there is generally only gray mist around the extraordinary people of the "Death" path, probably because the angels of this path are closer to the underworld.

Through the "twisted" passageway, Hobert seemed to see the pale pale mansion and the skeletal sitting on a throne with a giant-like white skeleton and scarlet eyes.

It seemed that with every step forward, the skeleton's figure became a little bigger.

Hobart also exudes the majesty of the "Fallen Earl", and transforms the rapier in his hand into the form of a normal sword, holding it high above the top.

The skeleton's figure returned to its original size, and the black fog around it seemed to fade a little!

Hobert saw that the skeleton sitting in the seat slowly got up, and then, ran away!

Hobert was stunned for a moment, he did run away! And it's a run into the underworld!

Only then did he hurry up and use his thin sword to cut a "crack in the underworld" again, and also chased into the underworld!

When he fought Feathered Serpent before, he had already entered the underworld once half-pushed and half-on-the-spot.

There is a clear difference between the underworld and the spirit world, first of all, the underworld is cold and piercing, and as soon as you enter, you can attract a large number of ghosts to come.

They don't come to see the excitement, but to see if there's a chance to kill Hobart and then use his body to return to the real world.

Even if this is not an extraordinary person in the "Grim Reaper" path, the corpses will decompose after death, and they will have to return to the underworld after a few days, but those who can become ghosts are very eager to return to the real world and complete the regrets of life.

The ghosts here are not quite the same as the ghosts of the real world, and the ghosts in the real world are basically extraordinary, or involve extraordinary factors.

The ghosts of the underworld, mostly formed by ordinary people, are the "inhabitants" of the place, who have lost most of their memories and the concept of time.

Theoretically, the Grim Reaper could have turned these ghosts into normal spirits and disappeared into the underworld, but the Grim Reaper has been down for a long time.

In addition to ghosts, there are special undead in the form of various skeletons and zombies, such as Hunter and Maximir, who made a pact with Hobert.

Many nature spirits are also free to enter and leave the underworld, and their appearance is often very strange.

Except for the Extraordinary Beings of the "Death" path, the Extraordinary Beings of the other paths are very dangerous here.

But Hobart is different, because he has the mark given to him by Mr. Azik, so it is more convenient for him to act here than in the spirit realm!

Even if he didn't have Mr. Azik's mark, he was just holding his own rapette, which made the ghosts afraid to approach him.

As soon as Hobert stepped into the underworld, he used the special mark on his body to mobilize part of the power of the underworld to find the skeleton lord, and then he caught up with the other party with a "twist".

The Skeleton Lord seemed to realize something and hurriedly left the Underworld!

Hobart also left the underworld in hot pursuit, there was no moon tonight, and after coming out of the underworld, Hobart quickly adapted to the darkness around him, and found that this was the location of one of the bone piles.

And the Skeleton Lord must have felt the suppression of Hobert himself and the Rapier on it, and was still fleeing vigorously.

"Weakened!" While adding a negative effect to the opponent, Hobert "twisted" the distance again, and the thin sword in his hand suddenly lengthened and pierced into the opponent's bones.

But the Skeleton Lord didn't pause, and Hobart realized that this guy probably didn't feel pain.

So he injected spirituality into "1-109", and his right fist was covered with an orange glow: "Slaughter! ”

One punch knocked the Skeleton Lord apart.

Hobert didn't expect the other party to be so indifferent, and was about to step forward to smash the other party's head and collect the scarlet eyes. Suddenly, the scarlet eyes quickly dimmed, and finally vanished, and with them the miserable white light on its bones.

It all happened so fast that almost in the blink of an eye, the Skeleton Lord became like an ordinary skeleton.

Hobert even crouched down and examined it, it was like a corpse that had been sitting in the wilderness for an unknown number of years, and finally the flesh was rotting away, and only the bones remained.

Hobert frowned, could it be that there were any specific conditions needed to collect the Skeleton Lord's eyes? As long as you don't meet the conditions, you can't collect anything?

That's not right!

Hobert followed up and thought, even if you can't collect extraordinary materials, there must always be extraordinary properties precipitated, right? It's weird that there's nothing now!

Suddenly, Hobert looked at the pile of bones not far away, the "astrologer" used to divination, and these bone piles were very closely related to the skeleton lord.

As if thinking of something, Hobert injected the spirit into "1-109", and two thick flames extended from his back, and soon dozens of fire ravens were formed, whistling into the pile of bones.

Call~

The pile of bones was quickly ignited, and when it burst into flames, it emitted a dark green flame like a ghost fire.

Hobert immediately used "travel" to the location of another pile of bones, and sure enough, he saw the Skeleton Lord rising from the pile of bones.

Hobert smiled: "No wonder the main material is scarlet eyes, or the so-called Skeleton Lord is just a pair of eyes!" Wherever these eyes go to the skeleton, that skeleton is the Skeleton Lord.

"Well, that's probably not right, you should have gone through some ritual or some method to make those skeletons have a certain connection with you, so that you can possess those skeletons!"

The Skeleton Lord had only a skeleton of bones and could not speak, and its teeth were open up and down at the moment, enough to express its surprise: had it discovered this secret so quickly?

The two flames from before reappeared behind Hobart, and dozens of fire ravens burrowed into the pile of bones in front of him again.

The Skeleton Lord jumped out of the dark green flames, and Hobart stepped forward: "Take advantage!" ”

At the same time, he threw a punch that knocked his opponent's head to the ground.

When the Skeleton Lord jumped out of the flames just now, its eyes tended to dim again, but Hobert's ability to "use" it extended the time for the Skeleton Lord to "transfer" to other skeletons.

Hobert quickly turned the head of the staff into a box with one hand, and at the same time bent down, and with the other hand he had already clenched his fist to smash the Skeleton Lord's head, and picked up two scarlet eyeballs, which he threw into the box as fast as he could.

After a second or two, the Skeleton Lord, or rather the two eyeballs, seemed to finally realize that they hadn't been able to get into the other skeleton. It bounced around the box, but couldn't break through the barrier that Hobart had put on it.

Hobert breathed a sigh of relief, he finally got this guy!

For him, with the rapier and Mr. Azik's mark in his hand, whether it is an extraordinary person or an extraordinary creature in the path of the "Grim Reaper", there is no small restraint, and it is not difficult to deal with a skeleton lord.

Even without these cheating advantages, Hobert is half a sequence higher than the Skeleton Lord.

But what Hobart didn't expect was that the Skeleton Lord could actually "borrow corpses to resurrect souls".

Look at the skeletons scattered on the ground again, because the skeleton lord couldn't leave just now, those skeletons still look taller and more powerful than normal people's skeletons, and the miserable white on them has not been lost.

Hobert remembered that in the auxiliary materials, it seemed that the bone meal of the Skeleton Lord was still needed, so he sacrificed these skeletons and the eyes in the box to the "Land of Disdisorder".

After entering the "Land of Disorder", the eyes became very well-behaved and honest, and Hobert opened the box to figure out how to kill them, but he immediately realized that the eyes seemed to be dead.

This may be a common problem in the "Grim Reaper" approach: how to kill the dead again?

Hobert smiled and decided to leave the puzzle to Dophes.

He returns to the real world and uses "travel" to the third pile of bones, which he burns to the ground.

Back in the small town in the col, Hobert tells everyone that the skeleton lord has been dealt with, and asks everyone to pile up the corpses here and burn them, and half of the extraordinary traits will be handed over to the lord's mansion, and half will be everyone's merit.

Although tonight's battle was equivalent to everyone following the lord in the mountains for half a night, they began to work on this case in the early hours of this morning.

Even Raymont and the others began to investigate this case a few days ago, and by the time Hobert joined the action, the case had been almost sorted out.

None of these credits should be overlooked.

Hobert's decision made everyone very happy, because this time they gained 11 extraordinary characteristics, even if they were only half, they still had to be shared by everyone, and they could also share a lot of merit.

After all, this is not an extraordinary battle, just an extraordinary case investigation in peacetime.

After burning the corpse, I returned to the lord's mansion, and it was already the second half of the night.

However, the cook knew that neither the lord nor the lord's wife had eaten dinner, so he waited for Hobert and the others to return.

Seeing that the fish brought by the servant was still hot, Hobert thanked the cook and the servant for a few words, and was about to go to eat, but saw a dead fish eye on the fish's head.

This made Hobert think of being left in the "Land of Disorder" by himself, and the eyes of the Skeleton Lord suddenly became no appetite at all.

After barely taking a few bites, Hobert said to Firth, who was obviously hungry and had already gulped down half of the fish: "I plan to give the extraordinary materials formed by the Skeleton Lord to Mr. Dopheus. ”

Foirth was slightly stunned at first, and then smiled: "I don't have any opinions. ”

Hobert simply put down his knife and fork and talked about the past: "Last year, I explored a ruin with Mr. Dopheus and found a Tier 1 seal in the ruins. ”

The so-called Level 1 seal is the black dog spirit beast that is being locked up in the misty town at this time.

"At that time, with our ability, there was no way to obtain this seal." Hobart only gave a general idea of what had happened: "We agreed to explore together when we were promoted, but I met Mr. Azik and explored the ruins with him.

"Because of this exploration, I was very familiar with the seal, and then I took advantage of a chance to get the Level 1 seal."

At this point, Forthth and Donna stopped eating, both listening to Hobert's story.

It was only today that Foirth learned that Hobert and Dophes had explored together.

"I've always felt that I owe Mr. Doffis a favor for this." Hobert said: "At that time, in that ruin, I also found a clue to the skeleton lord, so I wanted to give this main material for the promotion of demigod to Mr. Doffus to repay this favor."

"But after being in South Coulson for so long, I haven't found any clues about the Skeleton Lord, and I thought I had to repay this favor from other sources."

Forth expressed understanding, and was willing to listen to Hobert's past: "Now it is good to give this master material to Mr. Dopheus." ”

Hobert smiled slightly: "I'm going back to Beckland after dinner, and I'll come back to accompany you tomorrow night." ”

Seeing that the story was finished, Donna picked up the knife and fork again: "What do you mean by that?" Oh yes, a vicious battle was averted! ”

Firth blushed slightly, and then looked at Donna with a smile in her eyes.

Hobert glanced at her: "No one will treat you as a dumb person if you don't speak." ”

After dinner together, Hobert chatted with Forth a few more times, and then returned to Beckland.

After a little rest, it was already past five o'clock in the morning.

He first used the method of "giving" to bring the Skeleton Lord's eyes and a skeleton of the Skeleton Lord to the real world.

Hobert found that those eyes were now in the real world, and they were also very honest.

Knocking on the door of Dofès, the butler of the Earl's Court had already gotten up.

Hobert smiled and said, "I brought you a gift. ”

Dophes looked at the box in Hobert's hand and seemed to sense something: "What should I pay you?" ”

"You don't need to be paid." Hobart laughed, "I've got the seal of the ruins outside Beckland. ”

He lifted the box in his hand: "It was supposed to be yours." ”

The expressionless Dophes didn't excuse himself, but said, "I'm going to be promoted this morning and I need your help." ”

Hobert smiled, "No problem. ”

It turns out that the other materials have been prepared, and only the relevant materials of the Skeleton Lord remain.

Originally, he was going to work at MI9 today, but it turned out that Dophes's promotion was more important, so Hobert simply took a leave of absence.

After breakfast, the two of them went to Hobert's study, where Dophys began to concoct potions with the graduated cylinder and scales.

Dophys added auxiliary materials to the beaker first, and the bone meal of the Skeleton Lord was freshly ground, and even if it was ground into bone meal, it still looked faint and miserable white.

Hobert felt that this should be a very good spiritual material for the "Grim Reaper" path, so he said, "I have some skeletons of the Skeleton Lord there, and I can give you some more if you need them." ”

Dophes shook his head: "It's not very useful to me. ”

Then he explained: "Skeleton Lord's bone powder is much better than the effect and experience of mummy powder, and it has an effect within a week of taking it once. ”

Hobart seemed to see a wave of gold pounds coming towards him, and he smiled, "This is the gospel of the nobility." ”

Then he had to say, "It's not very useful to me." ”

In this regard, the ability to "utilize" is much better than these drugs, but in pursuit of a passionate experience, Hobert actually doesn't even use "utilization" much.

Dophes continued to concoct the potion, adding 20 grams of Skeleton Lord's bone powder, a pair of tentacles of the gray curly spirit moth, an undead tricolor flower, and 30 milliliters of zombie brain fluid to the beaker.

Then he began to add the main ingredients, first adding a piece of snow-white crystal, and then Hobert saw the scarlet eyes of the Skeleton Lord.

But instead of joining in immediately, Dophes waited for the snow-white crystal to dissolve.

Hobert reminded, "It's best to hurry in, or it could easily burrow into the skeletons around it." ”

"It's on its territory that it can do that." "There needs to be a lot of corpses and skeletons around for it to gradually build its territory," Dophes explains. ”

Hobert bowed slightly: "I see." ”

After concocting the off-white potion, Dophys held the potion in his hand and said to Hobert, "I need you to help me both." ”

"You say."

"The first is, kill me within ten seconds of drinking the potion!"

Hobert was slightly stunned: "Are you sure this is a help?" ”

This is obviously sending you on your way!

Then it occurred to Hobart that the ritual of promotion to the "undead" was: to become a dead man.

When he saw this ritual before, he guessed that he might have used some means to become a "dead man" in the occult sense, but he didn't expect that he would really die before becoming an "immortal".

Dophis continued: "Don't let my body get too badly damaged. ”

Hobert asked, "What does a too serious injury mean?" ”

"For example, dismembering and chopping up corpses, and then for example, ......"

Hobert raised his hand: "I'm not so perverted. ”

Dophes nodded: "The second is that after I become an 'undead', I will lose my memory, and in the next month, I will be able to retrieve some important memories.

"But I've left a diary and notes to keep me, and you're going to take me to my room and have Selena take my place in the last month."

Hobert asked a little strangely, "Can you get your memories back in a month?" ”

He remembered that it would take years for Mr. Azik to gradually regain his memory!

"I can only get my important memories back in a month," Dophiz explains, "but as I die more and more, the process of retrieving memories becomes slower and slower."

"In addition, if you write a diary and notes in advance, it will be of great help to regain your memory."

Hobart bowed his head slowly, he realized the strength of Mr. Azik, and the process of falling back into the "undead" for some reason must have been quite abrupt, which left him with insufficient time to prepare.

"I see." Hobert said, "I hope you don't forget how to read and write." ”

"According to some of the information I have seen, most of the time I will not forget something that is biased towards instinct, and if I can really forget the ability to read and write in the first resurrection, it means that I am extremely gifted." Doddest Road:

"But even if I forget to read and write, I will understand the meaning of the words when I see them.

"I also left behind the relevant textbooks, which allowed me to quickly recover my literacy skills, and for the first few days, I just had to ask Selena to deliver food to my room on time."

Hober nodded: "So the more you forget, the more talented you are?" This reminds me of a certain scumbag surnamed Zhang on the top of the light.

Then he realized that Dophes had been preparing for today's promotion for a long time: "Let's get started!" After that, don't worry, I'll leave it to me. ”

Dophes took a deep breath and drank the potion in his hand with some solemnity.

Hobert stared at Dopheus's Adam's apple and slapped his head in a 360-degree spin after he swallowed the potion.

Dophis barely struggled, and fell cleanly to the ground convulsing.

Hobert waited quietly for Dophes's resurrection, and after waiting for ten minutes, when Hobert was about to wonder if he had really killed the other party, he finally saw the muscles and tendons in Dophes's neck begin to twist.

It took four or five minutes for Dophes's head to turn back 360 degrees, and there was some brightness in his round eyes.

Then Dophes regained his breath, tried to move his hands and feet, and slowly got up to meet Hobert's eyes.

After staring at each other for a while, Dofez's eyes gradually became confused and frightened, and he opened his mouth: "I...... Ah, where, I ...... Yikes...... You, ah, who ......"

Hobert found that the other party had lost the ability to coherent language: "According to the theory you just said, you are very talented. ”

Then he smiled and said, "Do you want to ask who I am?" Have you forgotten? I'm your dad! ”

Dophys obviously didn't quite understand what Hobart meant, and he didn't react for a moment.

Hobart smiled: "Your expression is so rich now, much stronger than the cold face you always had before, to be honest, I always felt that you were already a dead person before you became an 'undead'." ”

He got up and gently put Dophes on his shoulder: "Okay, don't tease you, I'll send you back." ”

Dophis struggled a little, but at this time he didn't have the concept of using extraordinary powers, so his struggles seemed weak.

In front of Dopheus's desk, sure enough, there were already many diaries and notes, and there was an open notebook on the desk, which was obviously the first book to be read.

Hobert pressed Dopheis, who looked like a child, into his chair and told him to read his notes.

Then he instructed Selena to pay more attention to Dophes during this time and report to him in time if there is any situation.

As for the other servants, don't let them get near Dophis just yet.

……

Fast forward to the last day of May.

On this day, a construction team came to Order Square and erected a tall iron pole in the center of the square, with a pumpkin-sized light bulb on the top of the iron pole!

At this time, most people did not know the light bulb, and thought that Order Square was going to add some new building.

Some curious people asked, and there was also someone in the construction team who explained: "This is 'Earl's Light'!" ”

Most people didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and thought that it was a donation from some earl.

After conducting initial experiments, the staff erected a canopy, as if to stay here for a while.

It wasn't until late in the evening, as night fell, that the gas lamps around the Square of Order were lit.

Gradually, the fog of Beckland darkened Order Square.

Many people who have finished their day's work have eaten dinner and walked around the square with laughter and laughter.

At this moment, something seemed to light up in the middle of the square, and it grew brighter and brighter, brighter and brighter, and finally became dazzling.

Its bright light pierced through the fog, illuminating the entire Square of Order, and the gas lamp became as dim as a firefly compared to it.

Most of the people walking in the square of order have never seen the whole picture of the square at night, and this time they did!

Even if you leave the square and walk out of a street, you can still see the light in the square.

In the distance, some even thought that it was a day when the fog in Beckland was not too thick, so they saw the moonlight tonight!

The first to come back to their senses were the people in the square.

Some of them panicked and hurried home with their wives and children.

Others were very curious about what it was, and cautiously went over to check it.

It turned out that under the strong light, many people were already asking, and there were staff members to maintain order, and they were explaining loudly with a "megaphone": "This is the 'Earl's Light', the light bulb that brings light to Beckland......"

At the same time, there is a product display there, and many light bulbs the size of a fist are lit.

They are also very bright, giving the illusion that they are still in the daytime.

The staff shouted emotionally: "Buy the light bulb back and hang it on the roof, and the whole room will be as bright as daytime!"

"The bulbs aren't expensive, they only cost 8p each! If you use it for two hours a day, you can use it for a year and a half.

"Please keep the receipt, if it is broken within one month from the date of purchase, you can go to our sales department and exchange it for a new bulb."

Although he tried his best to introduce it, no one bought it, and everyone basically held the mentality of watching the excitement and learning about this new thing.

Others ask back and forth, whether the light bulb burns gas?

Someone asked: What is electricity? How do I get it?

The staff all patiently explained over and over again.

On this night, the square of order was very lively, and the display of large electric lights made many people feel like watching that wonderful circus.

It wasn't until late at night that everyone noticed that the huge light bulb had not been extinguished.

There are a few people who know what a light bulb is very strange: how does this seem to be a little different from the light bulbs I have ever seen?

In the second half of the night, some of the residents around the Order Square got up to go to the toilet, and saw that the electric lights in the square were still on!

As they went to the bathroom, they muttered, "This is big news, and it will be published in the newspaper tomorrow." ”
