Chapter 573: Enter the Misty Town
The Archbishop of the Cathedral of the Holy Wind, Radar Valentine, was the first to arrive at the scene.
At this time, the black viscous liquid-like substance in the black shadow had not completely dispersed, and there seemed to be some blood wriggling like caterpillars on the ground.
Especially at the end of the alley, which almost blew up the cul-de-sac with the street in front of it.
The archbishop, who was muscular and had thick dark blue hair, looked at it all.
Soon, there was an old man wearing a black clerical robe and five night emblems on his chest, as if he had come out of the illusion.
This is Anthony Stevenson, the archbishop of St. Samuel's Church, who looked at him and bowed slightly, as if he had said hello.
Anthony also took a look at the scene: "The 'black knight' of the Aurora Society? ”
Both bishops saw the few drops of blood that were still squirming just now, and now they were barely alive, and Lei Lei said, "I think, yes. ”
He paused and said, "Who killed this 'Black Knight'?" ”
Both of them knew that there were many demigods in Beckland, but there were not many battles between the demigods, because once they started, the movement of the battle would quickly attract the demigods of the church.
Even in some cases, when they have to do it, it is difficult to tell the winner in more than a minute or two.
Usually the situation is that two big fights, seeing that the winner cannot be quickly distinguished, the demigods of the official extraordinary people are about to arrive, so they will end the battle very tacitly.
But the battle that just took place in this dim alley was clearly divided between winners and losers.
Whether it was the black shadow that had no life from the ground but had not completely dissipated, or the spiritual perception of the two sages, it proved that the "black knight" was dead.
At this time, an old man in a white priest's robe and a soft hat flew in quickly and landed steadily.
Behind him are a pair of silver-colored wings that are mechanical, but look thin and light.
When the old man landed, his wings folded automatically and disappeared under the white priest's robes.
He was Archbishop Horamic Haydn of the Church of Steam, and when his feet hit the ground, the pupils of his eyes suddenly became illusory, and a stream of information flashed through his eyes.
After a second or two, his pupils returned to normal: "It seems that the one who worked with the 'Black Knight' is also a Sequence 4, but he has good anti-divination abilities and can't see any information about him." ”
The three sages looked at the blood that had completely disappeared, and then saw the shadow that had completely disappeared.
Although the other party killed a demigod of the Aurora Society, the expressions of the three people gradually became solemn.
Beckland came and killed a demigod of the "Black Knight" in about 1 minute, and they didn't know it.
……
Hobert traveled to the west of Beckland, a wilderness of the Balk family, and emptied several corpses from his purse.
The battle with the "Black Knight" just now actually only lasted about a minute, so at this time, the extraordinary characteristics of these corpses had just begun to precipitate.
Hobert took off Mr. X's mask, revealing emaciated cheeks and a somewhat gloomy look between his eyebrows, like the face of an addict.
Louis Vane indeed!
Hobert infuses "1-109" with spirituality, once again opening the seal's ability to "graze".
Louis's soul was sucked out of the corpse by "1-109", and his face was full of pain into the leather bracelet that Hobert wore on his wrist, giving the bracelet another dazzling blue gem.
Hobert's spirituality was immediately prompted with three more options, and he chose "Travel", "Flash", and "Astrology".
This allowed Hobert to use the "Traveler's Knife" on Forth, giving her the ability to flee immediately in case of danger.
Cutting off Louis's head with a rapper, Hobert accelerated the precipitation of the extraordinary properties of the other corpses, recovering one copy of the "Black Knight" and three copies of the extraordinary properties of the "Bishop of the Rose",
At the same time, from the corpse of the "Black Knight", several extraordinary characteristics of other ways were also precipitated.
In the end, Hobert used the "fire raven technique" to burn several corpses and bury them in the dirt.
He used "travel" again and returned to his study at the Earl's Court.
Furth was still waiting here, and she immediately got up: "How's it going?" ”
Hobert handed the head in the cloth bag to Forth: "I didn't expect an unexpected gain." ”
Furth glanced at the head in the cloth bag, and it was indeed Louis: "What catch?" ”
"I also hunted an important member of the Aurora Society by the way." Hobart smiled.
He did not state that he was a "black knight", lest Foirth worry or blame himself.
Firth smiled, "Thank you, Hobert. ”
Hobert pinched her face: "This is what I should do." ”
Foirth had to deal with the head, and Hobert had to recover, so the two of them left the room together and went their separate ways, and there was no time to "dance" tonight.
Hobert came to the study and took off his shirt, the wound on his chest had begun to rot and began to bleed some black blood.
It's just that in order to prevent the possession of the "puppet", Hobert stabbed himself in the wound of his own sword.
This sword hurt the "puppet" a lot, but Hobert was also injured because of it, and the injury could only be "gifted" to most of it.
Hobert drew his sword again, creating a "crack in the underworld" and using the power of the underworld to restore the injured spirit.
After sealing the "Crack in the Underworld", Hobart found a knife, dug up the rotting flesh, and then used the "Healing Fork" to make the wound heal quickly.
After doing all this, Hobert sacrificed the extraordinary characteristics of today's harvest to the "Land of Disorder".
Sitting on the "Iron Throne", Hobert pondered what to do with the extraordinary properties of the three demigod levels while smashing them.
The extraordinary properties of the "occultist" can be considered for sale to Bernadette, and the extraordinary properties of the "puppet" can be kept to see if Miss Sharon needs it in the future.
But what about the extraordinary characteristics of this "black knight"? This time, Hobert made a clean move, and did not give the other party a chance to become a seal.
The problem is that Hobert doesn't need the extraordinary properties of this approach, and it would be a pity to sell it to the Orthodox Church at a low price.
After thinking about it for a while, Hobert thought of the old man Winston who was kept by himself, to see if he could make magical items.
It doesn't matter if the negative effects are a little stronger, it's better than using the extraordinary perk directly.
As for the extraordinary properties of the "Bishop of the Rose", it can be crushed and sold to the Orthodox Church in the future.
There is also 1 copy of the "Apostle of Desire", 1 part of the extraordinary characteristics of the "Crimson Scholar".
The former is also dealt with by the Orthodox Church, and the latter is looking for an opportunity to sell to the Bloodline.
……
Saturday morning, Port Prieze.
Dorian seemed to walk out of the fishermen's association unhurriedly, but there were some doubts and worries in his heart, for he had just received a letter from his student Vorsto.
It said that she had something important to meet with him, and now she was staying in the hotel at 55 Seabreeze Street.
Dorian wondered why he suddenly ran to Pritzport to meet him, a student who had always been lazy.
He was a little worried, if Furth was facing some intractable difficulty?
Dorian was not worried that it would be a trap, because at the end of the letter, there was a secret message they had already established, and at least in Folth's opinion, the meeting was safe.
After a brief look at the inn on Seabreeze Street, Dorian finally walked in, and after making sure that there was no danger, he came to the room outside the room that Foirth had said in the letter, and knocked on the door according to the pre-agreed code.
The door opened, and Furth made a "all safe" gesture to Dorian, and Dorian was relieved to enter.
"Teacher, I know this visit was a bit rushed." Furth closed the door before smiling, "But there is something very important for you. ”
Dorian breathed a sigh of relief, at least it seemed that Forth's matter was not too dangerous, nor was it very urgent: "Something to say slowly." ”
The two of them sat down on two chairs in the hotel, and Furth picked up a small leather bag and said, "After I know that Louis Vane once betrayed the organization and caused you a lot of damage, I have always wanted to find him and avenge you. ”
"Give up the idea!" Dorian sat up straight: "Even if you have 'Lemanor's Magic Book', you are definitely not his opponent.
"Even if Hobart is a Sequence 5, even if he is stronger than Louis, he may not be able to kill him.
"But as long as he doesn't kill him, his organization will definitely retaliate! They're all crazy, and even if Hobart is an earl, they can still be targeted! ”
He took a deep breath: "I'm glad you have such intentions, but you don't have to take any chances. ”
If Hobert is still Sequence 5, it will definitely not work, and Forth muttered silently: "Hobert has succeeded!" ”
Ahem, ahem! Dorian choked on his own saliva and coughed, which took a few sips of tea to relieve it.
Then he seemed to realize something: "Hobert promoted to Sequence 4?" ”
Furth bowed slightly, this can't be hidden, otherwise it won't make sense.
Dorian asked with some concern, "Are you in any trouble?" Did you accidentally leave any clues behind? ”
"Probably not." "Hobert has changed his appearance, and he has a magical item against divination.
"According to his description, he saw the opportunity to succeed quickly, and the other party did not even have time to enter the spirit world."
Dorian sighed, "That's good, that's good." ”
Foirth opened the delicate little leather case on the floor, and inside was a human head wrapped in newspaper.
Dorian saw the face he would never forget, his smug smile gone, and his face was unsettling with fear.
As an "astrologer", Dorian's spirituality can be determined that this is Louis Vane's head.
"Okay, good...... Dorian whispered a few words with a little excitement, and pulled out a fist-sized pure crystal ball from his pocket: "It's made of star crystals, which can effectively improve your astrology. ”
Without waiting for Furth to refuse, Dorian laughed and said, "Louis is my enemy, you help me get rid of him, how can I pay you something." ”
Furth immediately refused: "No, no, Hobert has left behind his extraordinary characteristics, which will be used by me to promote 'Traveler' in the future." ”
Dorian said with a serious expression, "Do you want me to feel guilty and upset? ”
Then he smiled and said, "Don't worry, your teacher and I still have some net worth." ”
Furth didn't say anything more, and if he didn't want anything, it might indeed upset Mr. Dorian.
Dorian thought for a moment and said, "You wait here, I'll be back right away." ”
Ignoring Furth's insistence, he insisted on leaving, and returned an hour or so later, first handing Forth a box: "It's still a crystal ball, but it's a magical item."
"It is possible to use 'astrology' even for people who don't know 'astrology', but only at the level of sequence 7 at most.
"If you are a person who knows 'astrology', you can bypass some anti-divination abilities and improve the accuracy of 'astrology', and you can also use it as a medium for dream divination, roulette divination and other forms of divination.
"The negative effect is: don't use it under the stars, otherwise it will attract malicious attention."
After Dorian's introduction, he said: "This magical item does not conflict with your 'astrology' ability, it is equivalent to allowing you to have a higher sequence of 'astrology'. ”
Then he took out two more documents: "These are two Beckland properties, one in Hilston and one in Jowood, both in good locations. ”
Furth was slightly stunned: "Teacher, this is too much!" Well, all I need is the crystal ball. ”
She did a rough calculation, the two properties are worth at least 6,500 pounds, and the crystal ball is also worth about 4,500 pounds, so Dorian is 11,000 pounds when she makes a move! This is the essence of the former angel family!
They are indeed unknown now, but there are many other industries that include land, forest farms, real estate, estates, and minerals.
"No," Dorian said solemnly, "Normally, the reward for assassinating Louis Vane with the support of the Aurora Society is at least 30,000 pounds, and I still give you too little, but I can only give you so much at present." ”
Furth knew that these rewards were not easy to refuse: "Teacher, these are enough. Really, none of us thought about receiving anything in return when hunting Luis.
"Hobert's main purpose is also to focus on his extraordinary characteristics."
Dorian smiled, "That's a good boy. ”
If Hobart wasn't Firth's husband, and Dorian knew that the two were very affectionate, he would have wondered if Hobart had other plans.
Just now, Dorian even thought that it was her chance to meet Hobert, and at the same time, it was not an opportunity for the Abrahamic family?
Promoted to demigod at a young age, he must have been a member of some of the Extraordinary Family, or, as reported in the newspapers, with the support of the royal family of Rune.
This is a demigod who has enough kindness to the Abrahamic family, and in the future, it is likely that he will receive more help.
The point is that Dorian still thinks that Forth and Hobert don't know that he is a descendant of Abraham's family at this time, so he can rest assured that he can ask Furth for help in some things.
Dorian then inquired about the digestion of the "astrologer" potion in Firth.
Firth smiled, "Whatever I do now, I have a habit of divination. ”
Then she said solemnly: "Not long ago, I discovered the fact that 'astrology' is not a panacea. I mean, for a variety of reasons, you can't be too superstitious about the results of 'astrology'. ”
Dorian nodded with satisfaction: "This is not the first time I have said this, your talent is very high!" ”
……
Beckland, MI9.
Hobert found Byron in the break room and chatted with him in the corner about Hugh.
Finally Hobert whispered, "Do you know the real cause of Hugh's father's death?" ”
Byron smiled helplessly: "My position at that time was too low, and I didn't know the specific situation. ”
Hobber nodded, pretending to think for a moment before saying, "Okay, there's nothing else." ”
He went over there and poured a cup of coffee, and as he drank it, he said to a few intelligence officers who suddenly became reserved, "Sorry to interrupt your chat, you continue." ”
He smiled and raised the coffee in his hand: "I'll leave after drinking this cup of coffee." ”
Byron smiled, "We were also chatting and didn't interrupt us." ”
"That's good." Hobert smiled, "I just heard from you that you got some news from the Aurora Society?" Is it finally time to crack down on this crazy covert organization? ”
That was the main purpose of his visit to the lounge, and he knew that someone would complain about it today.
As he expected, one intelligence agent complained, "We're investigating someone who killed an important member of the Aurora Society." ”
Another intelligence officer joked: "I really don't understand why the murderer is investigated, should I give him a good citizen award after finding him?" ”
Generally, the investigation of the murder of members of such secret organizations is a formality, and if evidence is found, it is recorded, and if it is not found, the case is closed with vendetta or uneven distribution of spoils.
After all, no one cares how these villains die.
However, this case is very urgent, and the intensity of the investigation is not small.
The others also began to laugh at the incident: "It's like we're going to help the Aurora Society get revenge." ”
As he sipped his coffee, Hobart said to himself, "It's likely that you're going to be accomplices."
After listening for a while, Hobart probably knew that the direction of MI9's investigation was indeed misled by him.
According to the witnesses they found, it is currently determined that it should be an extraordinary person who committed the crime through the "apprentice" route, after all, the other party used a "flash".
As for the fact that there were also signs of explosions on the street outside, some believe that it was very likely that it would have been recorded in advance.
That's exactly why Hobart used the ability to "flash" yesterday, and not the ability to "twist".
If Aurora gets such news, they most likely suspect that it was revenge on the part of the Abrahams, or simply to hunt the "Traveler".
Even if you guess that the "flash" may come to a magical item, it is difficult to guess the specific path of Hobert, because judging from the traces at the scene, the murderer may also be an extraordinary person in the "hunter" way.
The ability of the "lawyer" approach, as long as it is carefully circumvented, generally does not leave too obvious traces.
As Hobart said, he finished his coffee and left.
In the afternoon, Chunas came to Hobert, and the two chatted about the "Earl's Light" light bulb, and now Chunas is also a shareholder of the "Earl's Light", and the relationship between the two has become a lot closer.
Hobert smiled, "The publicity for the light bulb is not over yet, because the big light bulb in Order Square is still on!" ”
Cunas praised: "I have to say, you are a business ghost. ”
Then he added: "There is a game at the club tonight, do you want to participate?" ”
"Another day." Hobert smiled helplessly: "Todd is coming back from Port Pletzers this afternoon, and I'm going to have a light meal with him." ”
"It seems that the hot sale of 'Earl's Light' is not all good." Chunas joked, "You don't even have time to have fun." ”
Seeing Chunas away, the smile on Hobert's face immediately disappeared.
Of course, he guessed that the visit of Cunas was an observation and a test for himself, and although in the morning, Hobert had found a good reason to go to the lounge, but it was his first time there, and it had been after the case of the Aurora Society.
It's not that Chunas suspects Hobert, after all, on the surface, Hobert has no motive for committing the crime, but he just wants to completely eliminate Hobert's suspicion.
Hobert's performance was also very natural, and if he had just agreed to Cunas's invitation, he would have seemed weak-hearted, after all, he rarely participated in the entertainment activities of the club.
In that case, Chunas would definitely be further probing.
Because of Hobart's performance, Chunas has ruled out Hobart's suspicions.
After getting off work, Hobert met Furth in his study at Earl's Court.
"Teacher Dorian is too well paid." "Gave me one Level 2 seal and two properties. ”
Hobart listened to the details of the reward: "I might be useful for that crystal ball, give me a while to use it first." As for those two properties, I suggest you can use them to collect rent. ”
Furth was slightly stunned: "I plan to give it to you, after all, I didn't play any role in this matter." ”
"You're Hobert's wife and Dorian's student, and that's your biggest role." Hobert slapped Forth's plump ass, "Alright, let's go to dinner, I still have an action in the evening." ”
……
As night wore on, Hobert used his "travel" to make his way back to the banks of the Tasok River, where he had previously met with Klein.
Crane was already waiting here, and after the two of them met, he didn't have any politeness, and he took out four charms: "By praying to Mr. Fool, I have made a total of three charms, which are the Luck Charm, the Deception Charm, and the Deprivation Charm.
"The Stealing Charm can steal the fate of the target for three seconds, and can swap one's fate with the other party.
"Deception charms can trick the target, make the other person make a wrong judgment, or not notice some key move.
"The Charm of Deprivation can steal three extraordinary abilities from the target, and the order of stealing starts with the most recent one, and then goes backwards.
"Here is a stealing charm, a deception charm, two deprivation charms, and the opening spell is all 'stealing' in the ancient Hermetian language."
Hobert put away the four spells that looked like black crystal cards: "All of them are quite strong." ”
With these spells, there won't be much of a problem dealing with the "Frenzy Mage" in Misty Town.
But the specific information about Misty Town can't be told to Klein for the time being.
Klein was also very cautious about this kind of action, and only then did he say all his plans.
Then Hobart turned into a small puddle of flesh and hid it in Crane's pocket.
Klein used his "travel" to the shadowy part of Pesfield Street, where the church of St. Samuel is located, and after a short wait, a group of worshippers came out of the church to participate in the night mass.
Soon several servants came out of the church with various tools of sweeping and began to clean the street in front of the church, mainly to clean the manure from the carriage parking spot.
There is no fog in Beckland today, the crimson moonlight shines on the earth, and the red moon seems to be watching everything that happens in the streets.
Crane found a servant who walked at the rear, possessed the other party with the power of the "ghost", and then controlled him to slowly walk into the corner, let him drink the sleeping potion, and settle him down.
Then Klein took the form of this servant, went to clean the horse manure carefully for ten minutes, followed the servant back to the church, and successfully lived in the servants' dormitory.
Before long the servants were asleep, and Hobart came out of Crane's pocket to rest.
Although the negative effects of "1-109" are relatively easy for Hobart to avoid, if you have the chance, you should take a break and keep yourself in the best shape.
Although this is the interior of the church, it is not a central area, and Archbishop Anthony, who lives here, does not pay attention to the situation of the servants and does not have to worry about being discovered.
Two people, one lying on the bed and the other on the ground, both waited very quietly.
Until the early hours of the morning, Hobert once again burrowed into Crane's pocket, Crane first used the "Paper Angel" blessed by the "Gray Mist" ability to interfere to avoid Archbishop Anthony's spirituality, and with the help of the "Mysterious Queen", the corrosive aura of the "resentful spirit" interfered with the sealing core at the bottom of the church.
In this way, they quietly came to the place where the caretaker lived closer to the core, and once again used the potion to put a thin-haired caretaker to sleep.
Crane took on the form of a caretaker, ate up the white bread on the table in front of the window, drank a glass of water, and vividly imitated the way he walked, seemingly making his way to the underground area with some difficulty.
As soon as he arrived in the corridor of the underground area, Crane almost didn't control his emotions, because he saw Leonard, who had black hair and green eyes, and was outstanding in appearance, but with a somewhat casual temperament, coming from the opposite side.
Klein knew that the poet's body was parasitic on an angel of the "thief's" pathway, but at this time he could only move forward, hoping that the poet's classmate was afraid that his secret would be exposed, and pretended not to know.
As he walked forward, it quickly occurred to Klein that it was the angel who could perceive his special "thief" pathway, not Leonard.
He quietly breathed a sigh of relief: Then the possibility of the other party exposing me is very small, after all, he also has a lot of problems, and he is not an angel who believes in the goddess of the night, once he exposes me, he will also be exposed, and there is no need to take this risk at all.
Soon the two men approached, bowed their heads slightly, and tapped their right index and middle fingers clockwise on their chests four times, as if drawing a full moon.
Then one inward, the other outward, passed by.
Crane breathed a sigh of relief that the "thief" angel had pretended not to see anything, and had not even alerted Leonard.
After cautiously walking through the underground passage for more than a minute, Crane finally came to a cold door.
Aware of the handover between the night watchman and the watchman, he knocked on the door of the guard's room outside the gate, and opened the Chanis door in the presence of the night watchman on shift.
Inside the door, the deep darkness suddenly surged, and Crane felt as if invisible tentacles were scraping his skin in the darkness, penetrating deep into his body, and connecting with the eroded "resentful spirit".
Crane struggled to get into the door with a nonchalant expression and closed the Chanis door.
He took the lantern and lit it, and waited patiently in front of the door for a while, so that no night watchman would come early in the morning to collect or return anything.
In his experience, as long as the inner caretaker was not disturbed by the night watchman for five minutes after entering the Chanis Gate, the Chanis Gate would not be opened again when there was an extraordinary case that required the use of a seal.
After five minutes of agony, Crane finally began to move forward again, walking towards the staircase that led to the second floor.
Passing through the chambers where all sorts of extraordinary materials, potion recipes, and secret knowledge were kept, and where cultists or wild extraordinaries were kept, Crane stepped calmly into the ground.
It was a divided area made of steel, masonry, or silver, and the doors of these areas were closed, except for the door of the armor soaked in the steel bathtub.
Beyond the seal, Klein's spirituality seemed to be guided, and he turned a corner to see a stone room with a bookshelf made of white bones, on which only an ancient notebook with a hard cover lay sitting.
None other than the Antigonus family notes!
According to the agreement with Hobart, he first obtained this notebook, and then together they looked for clues to the Sage who disappeared in the Great Smog of Beckland.
Things went well, but Crane was still not careless or reckless, and cautiously entered the room, about to reach for his notes.
Syllable~
At this moment, the sound of the door opening suddenly sounded outside, as if someone had come over.
Crane's pupils dilated, and while he pounced on the bone bookshelf, asking the secret puppet to grab the Antigonus family notes, he put his hand in his coat pocket and pulled Hobert out, hoping that the demigod could temporarily withstand the crisis behind.
Hobert originally thought that he could take a "free ride" directly into the misty town, but he didn't expect Klein to be ready to resist.
Leaving the cover of the "resentful soul" secret puppet, he had no choice but to "twist" the illusory tentacles in the darkness, so that the sealing core would not notice him for the time being.
At this moment, he saw a figure with a hood and a classical robe standing outside the door, his face beautiful but expressionless, his eyes dark but lacking in spirituality.
Hobert twitched the corner of his mouth: Everyone is already standing there, and they are still resisting shit! Strike your way to the Misty Town!
So Hobert reached back, ready to take Klein with him.
But he found that he had been emptied, and out of the corner of his eye, Crane had disappeared, and the Antigonus family diary was still on the bone shelf.
Hobert looked at his hands and feet again, and then he realized: Why didn't you let me disappear? It would be embarrassing if Crane went to Misty Town and I didn't.
But then, Hobert felt that he could definitely be sent to Mist Town, after all, the black dog spirit beast was still inside, and the "mad mage" of the Solomon family should also be inside.
Without Hobart's help, it would have been almost impossible for Crane to get out of town on his own.
So Hobert looked at the one outside the door, and his eyes seemed to say, "Come on, what are you waiting for?"
I saw a smile suddenly flash on the other party's handsome face, and then stretched out his index finger and pointed at Hobert, Hobert's spirituality was as if something had changed in him, but it was not clear what had changed.
Fortunately, in the next second, Hobert was like a pencil drawing erased by an eraser, which was quickly erased.
Hobert's eyes were dark at first, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep without dreams, and after a long time, the darkness in front of him suddenly shook, and a cold wind blew him.
He struggled to open his eyes, and saw himself in a cornfield, above which a fog was hidden, and the crimson moon was hidden in it.
Hobart quickly regained his thoughts: cornfield? How come I don't remember any cornfields?
Immediately afterward, Hobert realized that something was wrong with the corns, and they turned their leaves one after another, as if turning to "look" at Hobert.
Yesterday, the light in the author's bedroom was broken, and today I came to change it, and the original plan of the 10,000-character chapter was not completed ( ̄. ̄)
The author didn't expect that it would be so troublesome to change the lamp now, it is the kind of lamp with a light bar, and he can't change it himself, so he can only wait for the installer to change it.
The key is to choose the style, not to choose it, which makes the author a little regretful, when the first time the lamp was installed, the light map was good-looking, and a light strip was installed.
If you install an energy-saving lamp, you don't need to spend so much effort, and when you go out to buy cigarettes, you can buy the lamp back by the way, and you can replace it in two minutes.
(End of chapter)
