At this afternoon tea party, Herbert invited several nobles with good relations, such as Earl Hall, Glerinte, and Lord Bradley, and told them that he planned to sell 20% of the shares of "Earl's Light", with a total price of 800,000 pounds!

You can invite friends to Earl's Court tomorrow to buy it.

The nobles had no intention of counteroffering at all, they knew that Hobert was not short of money now, and he had just settled the matter of Longtail Island.

At this time, he sold his shares, all because he used the opportunity to build a solid interest group to hedge his risk.

For the nobles, the price of 800,000 pounds is not high, after all, it takes 1 million pounds to buy a baronial title.

Earl Hall alone subscribed for 5% of the shares, and this was still in consideration of the feelings of other nobles, he only needed so much, otherwise he would definitely buy the 20% shares alone.

Earl Hall had already realized that Hobert's improvements to the electric light might lead to a redistribution of the entire Ran's wealth.

It's just that he didn't expect that this redistribution process would be so fast!

After the afternoon tea, Hobert saw that it was only four o'clock in the afternoon, so he went to Changwei Island for a turn.

At this time, on Long Tail Island, the Governor's Office had completely controlled the western plains, and first of all, it was basically divided into villages and towns based on the previous rubber plantations.

After the merger or redivision of the former towns and natural villages, the mayor, the town government officials and the village chief were sent to establish a very effective bureaucracy.

And Conrad temporarily transferred a large number of men from the South Coulson area, as well as a second group of Beckland nobles who had just completed the examination, to register the land and assets.

For the Rune people of Longtail Island, the island has become chaotic and completely devoid of the order that a colony should have.

The local natives have also felt some changes, first of all, there is a person from the northern continent who lives in the village and can communicate with everyone in some local languages.

The first thing he did was not to rob things and women, but to teach everyone how to farm, and brought many advanced farming tools from the Northern Continent, which could be used for free.

The iron and copper mines were temporarily suspended, and the miners, who had obtained the status of residents, began to build a large number of brick houses, and formed a natural village based on the iron and copper mines.

They will then widen and strengthen the mine and equip it with state-of-the-art pumping machines before they begin to re-excavate the ore.

The ore that Hobert had received with the 16,000 pounds before was enough for a while.

The transformation of Longtail Island is in full swing, and because it has not yet reached the point of dividing the land and forcing the local natives to live a modern life, Hobert will not feel the digestion of the potion for the time being.

After dinner with Forth in the evening, Hobert returned to Beckland, where he met Klein on the banks of the Tasok River, where the two had last met.

There was no greeting, and as soon as they met, Klein said, "I'm going to act in three days, that is, on Saturday night, and you're ready." ”

Hober nodded: "No problem. ”

"Also, the time for good luck is here, and tomorrow let those who wish for good luck come to my ball." Klein pulled out two invitations: "There are only two spots." ”

Because the "Serpent of Destiny" Will Encettein, who is being restarted, only got two "Time Worms".

Klein said, "Let those two people find a chance to talk to Dr. Allen's wife, and preferably help her, such as handing her an ice cream." ”

Hobert put away the invitation and said again, "No problem." ”

He took out a box made of "Order Crystals": "This is my preparation for the operation in three days. ”

Klein opened the box and looked at it, and there were six thumb-thick "Time Worms" lying inside: "You, you ......"

Don't you want money for your family's "Time Worm"? Six again?

Hobert smiled slightly: "Please help me pray to Mr. Fool to make these six 'Time Worms' into charms, and I will be four and you will be two."

"If those high-level charms weren't used in this operation, those two charms would be yours."

Originally, Hobert planned to invoke the power of the fool to make a charm, but he suddenly found that he had no idea what kind of metal to use to make a charm, and he didn't know what symbols to carve.

He thought that Crane had studied it a lot, so he would just let Crane make it.

Crane closed the box: "Leave it to me." ”

This will be the biggest confidence to infiltrate the operation.

Hobert also advised: "Remember to return the box to me." ”

It was a box of "Order Crystals".

After talking about business, the two of them chatted a few more words about the release of light bulbs, and then left with "travel".

The next day, Hobert still did not go to work, and twenty or thirty nobles came to the Earl's Court and snatched up the 20% of the shares.

Hobert gave Christine another 2% stake, and the queen and Alice 1.5% each.

Christine sent someone to send 80,000 pounds in cash, Hobert left 10,000 pounds symbolically, and Hobert called Selena to come and plan to send Christine back.

But the servant went to find out that Selena had taken a leave of absence the day before yesterday and went back to attend her brother's wedding.

Hobert had barely been at the Earl's Court for the past few days, so he didn't know about it, and he didn't take it too seriously, and asked Dophys to pay back the money.

At this point, Hobart's community of interests has been established, and he still holds 55% of the shares, and he has absolute control over the development of the "Earl's Light"!

This would avoid many of the risks that the Earl's Light encountered, and as for this to allow Hobert to fully integrate into the aristocratic circle, it was just a matter of convenience.

By this time, Hobart had already reached several million pounds, enough for him to achieve further expansion plans.

In fact, at the same time as the electric light was released, Hobert's action had already begun, first he bought a small factory, converted it into a school, and established the Beckland Electrician School to solve the current serious shortage of electricians.

Then it was to lease three large factories again, and recruit vagrants in large numbers to produce wires, batteries, poles, crossarms, porcelain pots and other supporting facilities.

At the same time, a medium-sized factory was leased, a large number of carriages and horses were purchased, a distribution organization was established, and a service office for the replacement of batteries was carried out at home.

The largest investment was the purchase of two plots of land in the suburbs of a significant area, and the construction of the second batch of large power plants quickly began.

That's the end of the construction of Beckland's supporting facilities, and the rest can only be after the corresponding technicians are trained, and the wires are pulled all over the streets and alleys of Beckland little by little, so that this era will leave its mark on Hobert.

Now Hobert has sent someone to buy land in Pulis Harbour, not far from Beckland, to build a power plant, lay power lines, and provide electric light services.

In East Chester County and Enmatt Harbour, Todd has also sent people to investigate as Hobert instructed, and is ready to use the huge amount of money in his hands to lay out the framework of the electric light service first.

As for the large cities such as Makai County and Constance in the north, although there are also a large number of potential customers, Hobert has no intention of developing there for the time being.

Because that was the place where the war was most intense after that, even if the power plant was built, it would not be enough for them.

Now at the "Earl Light" bulb factory, Hobert only has to provide a general direction, and the specific affairs are left to Todd to manage.

Hobart also offered Upton an offer to take on the position of deputy general manager of Earl Light.

Todd is still young after all, from the previous obscurity to the current hot, Hobert is afraid that he will not be able to withstand some temptations and relax his strict requirements for himself.

At the same time, Hobert also hopes to use Upton's accumulated connections to develop a series of basic industries on Longtail Island.

For the construction of Longtail Island, Hobart did not use the money of the "Earl's Light", but a group of financial personnel led by Furth and Philip.

Even without the money of the "Earl's Light", Hobart still has 200,000 pounds in savings, which is enough to build Longtail Island into a medium-sized, fully equipped industrial base.

Hobert's long-term plan is to use Longtail Island as a springboard to take advantage of the subsequent war to seek opportunities for statehood in the southern continent.

At that time, the Northern Continent will be a pot of porridge, especially the fall of the industrial town of Conston will cause Rune to lose a lot of industrial production capacity.

Later in the war, Beckland also became fearful, and Hobert might not be able to get enough industrial products from Rune if he had industrial needs during the founding of the state.

So it's better to "do it yourself".

In addition, the labor and raw materials of Changwei Island are very cheap, and the construction cost is not high, and these construction projects can also bring a large number of employment opportunities and create wealth for the indigenous people of Changwei Island.

……

On Thursday morning, Hobart finally returned to work at MI9, but as soon as he got to work, he began to fish.

Hobert first made a trip to the South Coulson area, obtained the recipe for the "Beast Tamer" potion from Bishop Simpson, and then returned to Beckland and gave the recipe to Viscount Gleilint.

In the past month or so, Gleilynt had introduced Hobert to three more batches of Beckland's noble children, and so far there were enough of them.

This has greatly alleviated the shortage of manpower in the recent period, but if it continues to increase, this group may be difficult to control in the future.

Since Gleilint has basically completed the task assigned by Hobert, then according to the previous agreement, give him the potion formula and extraordinary properties of the "Beast Tamer".

In the past, in addition to establishing a mature immigration mechanism, Hobert also established a new training mechanism, recruiting people who can read and write from the East End of Beckland and the homeless, and sending them to the grassroots level for basic training.

Compared to the residents of the East End, there are a large number of homeless people who have attended grammar school, and they are all bankrupt middle class.

It's just that although the quality of these people is uneven and not easy to manage, this mechanism can almost completely solve the phenomenon of shortage of manpower in the future.

And these people are also in need of this job, although the salary is not high, but it includes food and housing, such a job is almost impossible in Beckland.

This is also the reason why every time the "Earl Light" bulb factory recruits, so many people squeeze their heads to enter, because of food and shelter.

This can save more than 90% of the cost of the poor, and about 60% of the cost of ordinary workers.

At first, many rich people privately laughed at Hobart for giving such a good treatment, but soon they couldn't laugh because the workers in their factories also demanded such treatment.

Even if there is no such requirement, the motivation to work becomes low.

Under Hobert's care, Viscount Glerint completed his promotion.

At the same time, he brought up the matter he had entrusted to Hobert again, and asked him to go to Count Vincent to steal his father's ring.

In order not to startle the snake, this time Glerint told Herbert that the opening spell for the ring was to pronounce it in the Gufsak language: Summer in Wintershire.

The reward is still a level 2 seal, which is also the most valuable reward that Viscount Glerint can come up with.

Hobart promised to keep an eye on it for him, and to take it if he could, but if he had to take some risks, it wasn't necessary.

Leaving Viscount Gleilint, Houbert returned to his mansion and met Selena, who had returned from the city of Tingen.

"Your brother's wedding is over?" Hobert asked casually.

"It's over." Selena smiled slightly: "They may have a baby in another month or two!" I need to save up quickly and buy a gift for my baby. ”

Hobert smiled: "It's just right, you go to do something for me, and I'll reward you when you come back." ”

Selena nodded repeatedly: "You say." ”

"Elizabeth has been admitted to Beckland University, you can help me choose some gifts to thank Lord Atwood." Hobart said, "Be solemn, and apologize to him, for I have to ask you to thank him because I am so busy with official duties." ”

After the "Earl's Light" bulb became famous, Hobert's status rose rapidly among the nobility, and for a lord who was currently the Minister of Education, it was perfectly possible to send a butler to visit and thank him.

Selena was stunned: "It's that simple?" ”

Only then did she understand that the teacher wanted to deliberately give her a reward: "Thank you, teacher." ”

Hobert smiled slightly: "Go ahead." ”

In the blink of an eye, in the evening, Hobert was about to go to Longtail Island to find Falth for dinner and "dancing", but Furth rarely came to the Earl's Court in Beckland.

She was followed by Hugh.

Hobert smiled: "It's been a long time since we've gotten together, let's go to Longtail Island to taste the local fruits, or go to Jeffrey City for an authentic Fenerport-style meal?" ”

But Furth whispered solemnly, "Hugh has found Louis." ”

Hobert thought back for a moment before remembering that this Louis was a traitor to the Abrahamic family and now an oracle of the Aurora Society.

He took Forth and Hugh to the study, and talked about it at length.

Hugh said: "You should remember Mr. A's party, yes, it's Mr. A."

He was said to have been involved in the Great Smog of Beckland and disappeared during that incident, and the meeting was stopped.

"Recently this meeting was restarted, and now the meeting is presided over by Mr. X.

"After a few observations, I found out that this Mr. X should be the Louis that Furth has been looking for."

Hobert nodded and asked, "When is the next meeting?" ”

"Tomorrow night." Hugh replied.

Hobert gave an "um" sound, "Tell me the address and code of the party, and I'll kill him tomorrow night." ”

Hugh reminded, "When I investigate again, it seems that Mr. X still has a lot of helpers around him." ”

"That couldn't be better." Hobert smiled, "This will make my loot richer." ”

Then he smiled and said: "Don't worry, I used the resources of MI9 to investigate Louis, although I didn't get much information, but I am confident that I can kill him." ”

It's actually just a Sequence 5, and Hobert can now take out the opponent very easily.

Hugh nodded: "It's good that you know it in your heart." ”

Then she smiled and said, "It's true that I haven't been together for a long time, but I still have a task tonight, and I have to keep an eye on it." ”

After telling Hobert the address and code, Hugh hurried away.

Furth watched Hugh walk away before saying, "Hugh is still so busy. ”

She felt a little sorry for her good friend: "How can we help her?" ”

"For this task, you give her more honorarium." Hobert Road.

"That's for sure," Furth said. ”

"I talked to Hugh's boss at MI9 and asked him to give Hugh some well-paid and safer tasks." Hobart said: "But it can only be like this, with Hugh's character, too obvious help, she will not accept." ”

Firth sighed, "I once asked her to help out on Longtail Island, but she refused. ”

"It's not good, I ...... Ouch? ”

Furth was startled by Hobert's sudden "oops": "What's wrong?" ”

"I, I thought that tomorrow's party would have to start early," Hobert laughed, "otherwise Hugh would have been suspected if he didn't go to the party." ”

In fact, it suddenly occurred to him that when Forth seemed to be asking Hugh to help find the main material of the "Recorder", the two of them encountered an accident, and then Hugh joined the Tarot Society, and since then he has been in a life of openness.

But the problem now is that Hobert has prepared the extraordinary characteristics of the promotion of "Recorder" for Forth, and they will not encounter such danger at all!

So how do you join the Tarot Club? How do you open it?

But these questions, of course, cannot be told to Folth.

By the time it was time for dinner, Hobert and Foerth were still discussing the issue.

They used to be very good friends, and now that Hobert and Foirth are living a very good life, there is no reason for their former best friends to get up so early and stay up late.

Hobert thought of a solution: "You have come to Beckland a few more times these days, and you can talk to Hugh about the pirates on Longtail Island and the cultists of the evil gods when you chat."

"And tell her about the current shortage of official extraordinaries in the Governor's Palace, and the next step we are going to march into the mountains and touch the interests of the Mountain God Church.

"After a few days of foreshadowing, you ask her to keep you safe and pay her a little more.

"If she wants to develop her career in Changwei Island, give her some support."

Furth nodded, "That's a good idea. ”

First of all, what Hobert said is basically true, Longtail Island does have the Mountain God Church inside, there are pirate worries outside, and the extraordinary power is currently insufficient.

However, Hobart is already trying to solve this problem, and Archibald just arrived on Longtail Island with artillery last week, which not only greatly replenishes the coastal defense forces of Longtail Island, but also brings a group of military extraordinaires.

By now Hill is already a "fireman", and many of the officers are already "gladiators", "provocateurs", or "angry people".

Ordinary pirates attack, they can solve it.

Of course, the most important thing is that Archibald is now on Longtail Island, which itself is an extraordinary creature at the demigod level, and there are currently three Sequence 5 secret puppets, even if the "Pirate General" comes, there is no return.

With it and Angus on Long Tail Island, even if the extraordinary people of the Mountain God Church launched an attack on the Governor's Palace, they would not need Hobart's support.

Moreover, soon after the Agrarian Revolution, Hobert was ready to begin conscription on Long Tail Island.

At most, in half a year, Hobart is sure that he will completely squeeze the living space of the Mountain God Church.

You don't need to tell Hugh about this, let her take a look at Longtail Island, feel the thriving atmosphere, maybe she will like it there.

But it soon became clear to Forthth that the idea seemed a bit naïve.

"Hugh's purpose is to investigate the cause of her father's death and restore the family's glory," said Forthth, "and she may not be away from Beckland for long until this purpose is accomplished." ”

Hobert gave a "hmm", as if this goal could be achieved in the second half of this year: "On this point, I will help her with some investigation, hoping to untie her knot as soon as possible." ”

Until the evening, when the two of them returned to the bedroom to rest together, they didn't talk much about the assassination of Louis.

Through "Lemanor's Magic Book", Foirth knew how strong Hobert's abilities were, and also let her know how easy it was for a demigod to kill a Sequence 5.

……

After nightfall on Friday, a light rain fell.

This made the air in Beckland much better, and the carriage still ran down the streets, and the coachman lowered the brim of his hat to keep the rain from getting into his eyes.

After the lantern was covered with a layer of rainwater, the light seemed to spread out a little and became a little unreal.

Hobert, whose face had changed, looked out into the street, where pedestrians on both sides of the road hurried to and fro with umbrellas, and homeless people huddled in corners, hoping that the light rain would soon end.

Now there's a joke in Beckland: Count Hobert hired all the wanderers!

The joke is a bit of an exaggeration, but since Hobert's return to Beckland, 40,000 homeless people have emigrated to the South Coulson area.

When the "Earl Light" branches were opened, Hobart recruited nearly 30,000 wanderers.

This reduced the number of homeless people on the streets of Beckland by a quarter, as Hobert also recruited some poor people living in extreme poverty in the East End, otherwise there would have been a full third fewer homeless people.

But judging by the current trend, this quarter of the "share" will be filled again in the next two or three months, and the number of wanderers will return to about 200,000.

It's not that Beckland only has these 200,000 wanderers, but that the entire "leftovers" of Beckland are only enough to feed 200,000 wanderers.

Looking at the wet streets, Hobart retracted his gaze, and his thoughts drifted for a moment.

The carriage made it all the way to the East End, and Hobert got out of the car in the rain and put on his hood.

In fact, he can completely "distort" the angle at which the raindrops fall, and not a drop of rain will fall on his clothes, but that will instantly reveal his strength.

So Hobert, like most passers-by, lowered the brim of his hat and walked briskly to a dimly lit alley, in front of a dilapidated wooden door.

Hobert recalled Hugh's knock code, and curled his fingers, first three light and three heavy, then two long and three short.

After a few seconds, the door opened silently, and a waiter in an iron mask examined Hobert, who had changed his appearance: "Friend, who introduced you?" ”

Hobert frowned, "You're the new guy, aren't you?" I used to go to Mr. A's meetings at 177 Queens, and no one ever asked me who introduced me. ”

In fact, he only participated once.

Mr. X has only started a few meetings since he replaced Mr. A, and it is true that many of the previous members of the meeting have only come back to this meeting twice.

The waiter saw that Hobert's address where Mr. A had started the meeting was correct, and he got out of the way.

Hobart crossed him unhurriedly, and as he walked through the not very long corridor, he felt three gazes sweep over him one after another.

Mr. X was also a gathering of extraordinaries who had just taken over Beckland, and he was very cautious at this time.

Through the short hallway, I came to a relatively large living room, and all those sights and scrutinies were gone.

The Level 1 seals on Hobert's body are all in a sealed state, and even the inspection of angels may not be able to see the clues, of course, no one has noticed his abnormality.

Moreover, although Hobert did not wear a mask, he was using the "Order Crystal" at the head of the staff to carry out anti-divination operations, so as not to make the highly spiritual "traveler" aware of the danger.

He arrived early, glanced at the rows of chairs, and finally sat down near the Lord's seat.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, it was time for the party.

Hobert glanced at the fact that there were only thirty or so people, only about half of the number of people in Mr. A's previous gathering, and there were many wild extraordinaries who should still be waiting.

Don't worry that if you don't come to the party this time, you will be suspicious by the people of the Aurora Society.

At this time, Mr. X came to the door with a golden mask and walked unhurriedly to the main seat.

He was wearing a black classical robe and a magician's hat, and he didn't exude much momentum, but the members of the party unconsciously lowered their heads.

Mr. X faced everyone, sat down on the main seat, and said in a deep voice, "Let's start." ”

"Okay!" Hobert's figure suddenly becomes illusory, and then appears in front of Mr. X.

He did not use "twisting", but "flashing" of the "traveler's knife".

Hobert's right hand jerked into Mr. X's chest, pulling out a beating heart.

Mr. X's body had just been a little illusory, and before he had time to enter the spirit realm, he looked at the hooded man in front of him in disbelief, holding his still beating heart.

His form, which began to become illusory, also became solid again, and quickly lost its life.

Under the golden mask, the incredible expression gradually turned into fear, and it was fixed on the face of this corpse.

At this time, the members who came to the party suddenly realized that the host of the party had been killed, and ran out screaming, and the living room became a mess.

Hobert threw away the heart in his hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on his hand, and said, "The extraordinary person in this way, the physique is really weak!" ”

"Travelers" are notoriously difficult to catch, but once their ability to escape is limited, or if they don't have time to do so, it means that they will be extremely dangerous.

Hobert's speed was fast enough, so he didn't even have the ability to "mess up" or "twist", so he went straight up and killed the other party.

At this time, the shadows around him seemed to become viscous, and the shadows began to flow towards Hobert, and they could not determine Hobert's strength, but they could not just walk away, so they could only try to attack.

After wiping the blood from his hands, Hobert threw Mr. X's body into a bag with spatial magic: "Fallen! ”

"Ah~"

Three screams rang out from the shadows at once, and the dim shadows suddenly leaped into three strange human figures like black pieces of paper, who seemed to be in great pain.

Then the three shadows stopped struggling and fell straight to the ground, and the "black piece of paper" showed the faces of the three people.

They have always been under the influence of the "True Creator", and at this time, Hobert's "fall" is like being hit by the high-level ability of this path at close range, and he died a tragic death!

Hobert unhurriedly put their bodies in his purse, and he could feel that there was still some eyes in the shadows around him that were snooping on him, but Hobert wasn't very interested in these Sequence 7 or younger members.

The party members were still stuck in the narrow hallway, and Hobart simply tore down a wall and left the living room unhurriedly.

There are basically no street lights on the streets of the East End, and Hobert walks step by step through the dimly lit alleys.

At this moment, the darkness in the street suddenly became sticky, and one after another illusory figures appeared, staring at Hobart with malicious intent.

In Hobert's impression, the Aurora Society seemed to have a demigod in Beckland, he didn't talk nonsense, and while his fist was covered with a layer of orange-red light, he rushed over "Slaughter!" ”

The sticky black shadow didn't expect the other party to even be tempted, so they directly launched a fierce attack, and they quickly dispersed like a tide.

But Hobert appeared in front of the shadow as if he flashed, and stomped the ground, and the violent blow rippled in the shadow, and at the same time stepped into a large hole in the ground.

A black shadow rolled to the side, rolling silently on the ground.

The "Black Knight" allowed his Shadow to endure the "slaughter" of the blow, and the Shadow was severely injured, but the "Black Knight" was unscathed.

"Related!" Hobert, who had once fought the "Black Knight", made the shadows on the ground relate to their owners.

This caused the shadow's injuries to reach the body to a certain extent, and there was a muffled snort at the end of the dim alley.

"Chaos!" This ability is thrown in that direction, because "chaos" can occur within a certain range, so it doesn't matter if you don't hit the opponent.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hobert "twisted" the distance and rushed past, while infusing the spirit into "1-109": "Fire Raven Technique! ”

Two streams of flames stretched out from his back, turning into dozens of fire crows and smashing towards each other, and the darkness at the end of the alley immediately became viscous, and stood up like a half-solidified liquid to block most of the fire crows' attacks.

The fire crow exploded, sending bricks flying and the ground denting at the end of the alley.

Many people were still asleep when they were "hit" into the streets by the shock wave of the explosion.

Hobert took advantage of this opportunity to rush to the other party, and the thin sword stabbed out, and the half-coagulated "dark liquid" was pierced: "Weakened!" ”

The "Black Knight" dodged the rapier with some embarrassment and fell into a weakened state.

At this time, a figure with bright illusory symbols floating around the two people appeared, and this figure gradually exuded the color of dusk, and its appearance became clear, with only a huge vertical pupil on its face, and a two-handed sword in both hands.

Hobert's subsequent sword failed to pierce the huge figure, and at the same time, he felt that his strength was rapidly draining, and even his mind had become vicissitudes, as if he was disgusted with all battles, and just wanted to wait peacefully for death to come.

"Gift!" Hobert struggled to fight the vicissitudes of his soul and "gifted" the negative state of his body to the "black knight" behind the huge figure.

A wisp of dusk color appeared on the body of the "Black Knight", but this wisp of color quickly "flowed" to the ground and disappeared into the black shadows, and he gave these negative states to the surrounding shadows, so that half of the alley briefly emitted the light of dusk.

At the same time, the tall figure with giant pupils dissipated, and the figure with bright illusory symbols floating around it reappeared.

Hobert realizes that this is a "occultist" who has been grazed by the "Black Knight", and what he has just "reproduced" may be "God of War Fighting" or "Giant King Fighting" or something like that.

Hobart raised his other hand and injected spirituality into "1-107": "Banished! ”

The figure with the illusory symbol suddenly felt a huge force, as if it was about to blow it into another world.

Hobart took advantage of this opportunity to stab at the "Black Knight" with a sword, and while the other party withdrew the "occultist", a blue magma greatsword appeared in his hand, blocking Hobert's blow.

At the same time, goat horns grew on the other party's head, and his skin became dark and evil, as if he was covered with a layer of armor, which was a state of "demonization".

The other party instantly switched to the soul of the "Apostle of Desire", and Hobert swiped casually, drawing a "crack in the underworld", and the surrounding rain was swept into the underworld with the cold wind.

Hobert became more and more proficient in mastering the power of the underworld, and while he used the power of the underworld to put pressure on those grazing souls as much as possible, he stretched out his thin sword: "Enlarge! ”

He magnified the "Whisper of the Dead" that the Rapier had been emitting, and from the very beginning of the battle, the "Black Knight" had been under attack from the "Whisper of the Dead", and now that these attacks had finally manifested, the "Black Knight" felt his muscles stiffen, as if his body was getting stranger and stranger.

However, the flesh and blood magic of the "Black Knight" played a role at this time, and his heart instantly doubled in size, providing a surging power to his blood, accelerating the flow of blood, and the feeling of muscle stiffness gradually disappeared.

Hobert stabbed his sword again, and a hand stretched out from the chest of the "Black Knight" and grasped the rapier.

The "Black Knight" himself quickly recovered from his "demonized" state, and the hand that grabbed the rapier on his chest stretched out an arm, and then a delicate "puppet" that looked illusory came out, its eyes were blank and had no look.

Hobert was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this "black knight" to graze two demigod-level souls.

A "puppet" with a high level of spirituality, which can cover the rapier with spirituality and block Hobert's attacks.

"It's a pity!" The corners of Hobert's mouth went down: "You can only herd one soul at a time." ”

Although there is no pause in the switch, the cooperation of various abilities is difficult to deal with only when the demigod is below, and in the battle of the demigod, the attack of a single spirit cannot exert its unexpected effect.

Even the skills of continuity are somewhat weak.

As Hobart spoke, a puppet-like figure in the pupils of his eyes was turning from illusory to solid.

This is the possession of the "puppet" level, and Hobert simply turned the thin sword and stabbed it into his chest.

The "puppet", whose eyes were not bright, immediately became painful, and left Hobert's body with a scream.

Hobert drew his rapier and said, "Gift!" ”

Once again, most of the injuries were "gifted" to the "Black Knight".

This is the battle of the demigods, and the combos that work well below the demigods, but they are all likely to be broken in strange ways in the demigod battles.

The "Black Knight" has always used a combo that is possessed by a "puppet", and he directs his shadow to attack the target.

Then the second step is to use the "occultist" to create an aggressive "reproduction" while controlling the target with his own shadow.

There is a third step, a fourth step.

However, in the battle with Hobert, his shadow was seriously injured by Hobart as soon as he came up, and he didn't dare to manipulate the shadow now, for fear that the shadow's injury would affect him.

The combo of the "Black Knight" also became a joke.

The "Crack in the Underworld" has always been there, and the "Black Knight" clearly feels that his herding souls are being affected by some kind of force, as if he is snatching control of these souls.

He realized that he had no chance of winning in this battle.

So he asked the "puppet" to block Hobert's attack again, and prepared to immediately hide in the darkness and escape.

Hobert had been waiting for this opportunity, and he knew that with his own abilities and the use of the seal, he was now sure that he could defeat most of the pathways of Sequence 4 head-on.

Even if there is no way to defeat the "Black Knight" in a short period of time, Hobert expects that the other party will flee immediately if he has the opportunity, after all, Aurora will be a secret organization, even if there is cooperation with the royal family, it will not see the light.

The movement just now was so loud that the demigods of the church could rush over in two minutes at most, and he would definitely not dare to fight a protracted battle.

"Related!" Hobert has just made the opponent in a state of "weakness" and "gifting" through the battle, so the three skills such as "association" can be 100% successful.

The Black Knight's escape stopped, and he looked at his own shadow, which he had run away, but had not yet taken it with him!

Hobert punched the other man out of the shadows.

The Black Knight suddenly realized that even if he left the shadow alone, it would come back to him after a while.

However, Hobert's second punch had already smashed, and "Black Knight" immediately turned into a delicate puppet, catching this punch with the ability of the extremely strong "puppet", and as a result, he was beaten back again and again.

Then Hobart kicked him, and "The Black Knight" realized that even the "puppet" with a strong physique couldn't seem to stop it.

The "Black Knight" then sensed that something was wrong.

Of course something is wrong, because Hobert is using the "lethal attack" in "1-109" at this time, one blow is heavier than the other, and the average demigod will last until the fourth blow.

But the "Black Knight" had no time to dodge and could only block with his arms.

Click, an arm is kicked off.

However, the "Black Knight" immediately used his flesh and blood to return the broken bones that had been poked out to their original positions.

The "Black Knight" was about to switch the soul of the "Occultist" to block Hobert's next blow, and with what he had just experienced, he didn't dare to run away at all now.

The thin sword in Hobert's hand suddenly became longer and stabbed the "Black Knight" in the chest.

The "Black Knight" was blinded: "It's okay, get longer!" ”

Hobert's transition from "linking" to "lethal attack" is actually just preparing for the Rapier's attack, and he needs a moment that only needs to be a blink of an eye, and he can seriously injure the "Black Knight" by surprise.

The reason why the Rapier is the main weapon is simply because it can destroy the spirit of the "Black Knight", which can effectively prevent him from using the flesh magic with tenacious vitality.

The rapier widened violently, piercing half of the Black Knight's chest.

The "Black Knight" immediately retreated and used flesh magic to heal the wound, but he found that the wound could not heal!

The wound was like a huge whirlpool, from which his life force and spirituality were rapidly draining.

"Arrogance!" Hobert used this ability almost as if he were a trial, and at the same time, the sword in his hand turned into a two-handed greatsword.

The "Black Knight" seemed to think that he would be able to continue the fight with Hober, but Hobart stomped on the chest and slashed off his head with a sword.

The Black Knight didn't even have a chance to escape with flesh magic, as his spirit was nearly broken, and he found himself unable to manipulate the broken flesh.

One can only feel the rapid loss of life in fear, and soon come to an end.

Call~

A strong wind blew from the direction of the Holy Wind Church, Hobert took a look, quickly put away the body of the "Black Knight", did not forget to seal the "crack in the underworld", and left the scene with "travel".
