Hobert put on his clothes, kissed Forth goodbye, and arrived at Longtail Island at about 11 o'clock in the afternoon.

In the reception hall of the Doge's Palace, he met the patriarch of the House of Tudor, one of the three branches of the House of Tudor to be exact.

His name was Barnet Tuddor, and he was an old man with gray hair and a clean face and no beard.

Barnett was dressed as a Beckland gentleman, meticulous and rigorous.

Archibald, with a serious face, sat across from Barnett, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.

Angus and other members of the Tudor family stood aside or in the corner.

Seeing Hobart coming, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Hobert smiled at Barnett and said, "Welcome, old sir!" ”

Without waiting for Barnett to speak, Hobert then said to Angus, "Let the kitchen prepare a hearty lunch......

"No need!" Barnett's voice was a little sharp, and very majestic: "I heard that the people who have eaten at your restaurant before have lost all their savings and have to travel to other islands. ”

"It's a slander on me!" Hobart said seriously: "There is still a manor owner who is not greedy and knows to respect the personality of others, and he gets what he deserves. ”

Barnett glanced at Hobert, then said to the members of the Tudor family, "Go out, Angus stay." ”

But Herbert did not let Archibald leave, and as soon as Herbert entered the house, Archibald got up and stood behind Herbert with great discernment.

This was seen by Barnett, and he was secretly a little frightened.

He just felt that Archibald had the momentum of the sequence 3 level, although the state was a little strange, but the level was there.

It is this extraordinary person with a sequence 3 level, but he is very respectful to Hobert.

After Hobert sat down, Barnett suddenly sighed and said, "I've seen where the members of the Tudor family live now, and it's pretty good to be honest. ”

Around the end of June, the families of the Special Operations Department had just moved into the new building that had been built for them.

Hobart smiled and said, "This is what I'm supposed to do." ”

"I'd love to know what you're going to do with these members of the Tudor family in the future?" Barnett stared at Hobart.

Angus on the side breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, their conversation was not so-for-tat, and the patriarch did not ask the teacher for guilt as soon as he came up.

Hobert spread his hands: "My father is a member of the Tudor family, of course, he is now a member of the House of Lords of Rune, a 'chaos hunter'......"

Of course, what he said was deliberate, after all, it was Christine who felt that there was no future in the Tudor family, so she came out to mix it up by herself.

And now, Kristen is already a Sequence 3.

When Barnett heard this, his face was really not good-looking.

Hobart continued: "...... Of course, I will not treat my fellow members of the Tudor family badly, and my realm needs enough official extraordinaires, I think they must have good prospects for development with me. ”

Barnett said in a sharp voice: "You have such a plan, you can come and discuss it with me, as the patriarch, I will definitely support you."

"But you used despicable means to entrap the family members, causing sharp contradictions within the family!"

Angus nervous, should he come or come.

The so-called "despicable means" are in fact criticizing Hobart for recruiting a large number of men from the family without the permission of the patriarch.

Hobert first said solemnly: "I don't plan to report to anyone how my territory is developing. ”

Then he smiled and said, "I've heard for a long time that some family members need to find their own jobs in order to make a living.

"I have a job for them, and they need it."

Hobert's first sentence was emphasizing his principle: "Old boy, I have the final say in my territory, and no one will try to dictate my territory!"

The latter words are secretly changing the concept, saying that his previous "digging into the wall" is an employment relationship.

Barnett looked at Hobart coldly: "Young man, I'm not old and foolish. ”

Hobert took a banana from the table in front of him, peeled the banana and said, "Old man, as the patriarch of an extraordinary family, of course, you must have enough management and wisdom in handling things.

"Then you should understand a very simple truth, people follow interests."

He took a bite of a banana: "I can give my family members a better chance, why should you block them from a better future?" ”

Angus wanted to praise the lord at this time: When it comes to the art of language, you have to look at the "lawyer", which seems to me to be a matter of fundamental insecurity, but in the lord's case, it is a frank and unrestrained thing that conforms to human nature and the trend of the times.

Barnett was also slightly stunned, but he quickly added: "You must know that I have the right to bring all the family members back." ”

"What do you bring back for? Lock them all up? ”

Barnett opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.

Managing a family is completely different from managing a business, and managing a business can be done in accordance with rules and regulations.

But managing a family is different, there must be family affection, there must be rules, and even if you work hard to level a bowl of water, everyone will hold a grudge, and it is difficult to grasp the degree.

If these family members are really locked up, Barnett may have to use force to maintain the majesty of the patriarch in the future.

He suddenly shook his head and smiled, "You will be a good leader." ”

Hobert put the leftover banana peel on the table: "You don't have such an evaluation just because I can be eloquent, right?" ”

The other party's sudden compliment made Hobart deal with it carefully.

"No, I'm not blind." Barnett said, "Just look at what you're doing in the South Coulson area and Long Tail Island, and you're going to subvert the rules of modern society!" ”

Hobert was slightly stunned, this old man was the first person to point out his ongoing business to his face.

Even the nobles of Beckland, who had withdrawn from Longtail Island, were not aware of this, or they did not care about it at all.

Barnett smiled and continued: "And as far as I can see, you are a person who knows the process of events very well, is not in a hurry, and knows the mystery of waiting! ”

He sighed, "Why am I not waiting? The family had little future a few hundred years ago.

"On the one hand, it is difficult to acquire new extraordinary characteristics, and on the other hand, as the number of family members increases, it is difficult for everyone to live a relatively comfortable life with the inheritance left behind by the family.

"So from the moment I became the patriarch, I was waiting, waiting for someone who could change the status quo of the family."

Angus on the side was slightly surprised, as if he had met this patriarch who had previously seemed stubborn and unfair to him.

Then he understood why the patriarch had let him stay, apparently hoping that he would hear what he had to say.

This also surprised Hobert, his previous impression of Barnett was all from Angus and others, and the previous extraordinary trait transaction, Hobert's impression of this patriarch was not good.

But now, Hobart can be sure that Barnett's description of the current state of the Tudor family is basically true, and that he is powerless to change it.

Hobert took a deep breath: "As you said, I may be an opportunity for the Tudor family, you should increase your support for me!" ”

"I'm here to tell you this!" Barnett said, "I will send more family members to assist you in batches until the entire Tudor family is moved to the South Coulson area." ”

This was not only beyond Angus's expectations, but even somewhat beyond Hobert's.

However, thinking of the gambler psychology of the Tudor family, Hobert felt that it was not surprising that the other party did this, and the members of this family have always taken all their net worth to gamble once they seize the opportunity.

Hobert sighed, if Barnett had remained tough and opposed, things would have been easier.

But when you think about it, how can a fool become the patriarch of the Extraordinary Family? Then what will follow must be a tug-of-war negotiation.

As Hobert expected, Barnett continued: "However, as a condition, the extraordinary power in your territory must be dominated by the Tudor family, and the opinions of the Tudor family must be sought for personnel promotion and welfare. ”

Hobert leaned back in his chair and smiled, "I guess you have some misunderstanding?" I've worked with many extraordinary forces, such as the Extraordinaries of House Trenthorst. ”

He said a little indifferently: "Even if I am from the same Tuduo family, my relationship with the other two branches is more intimate than yours.

"One of those two branches, there is also an angel who is not in very good shape, and it stands to reason that they are more qualified to be the leader of extraordinary powers.

"There is another one that has completely joined me, and they are now in Baiam, completely following my orders."

The so-called "they" actually refers to Raft alone.

Barnett didn't insist: "Then if the extraordinary people of our clan want to be promoted, the family will always have the final say." ”

In fact, it's him, the patriarch, who has the final say.

This is his real purpose, and he doesn't bother to care about the affairs of the two Tudot families who are named Tony and Pound respectively.

Hobert spread his hands: "This is very unreasonable, all the resources are provided by me, but I don't count whether the extraordinary person is promoted or not." ”

He laughed, "You can go and seek territory and establish your own rule. ”

Barnett thought for a while and then said, "Don't underestimate the heritage of an extraordinary family, I know that you can provide some extraordinary characteristics to your members, but what about the next step?" Can their highest achievement only be Sequence 5? ”

"I've prepared for Angus a copy of the extraordinary properties of the 'Lawkeeper'." Hobert smiled: "As long as he doesn't make a big mistake and digests the potion of the 'Punishment Knight', if I have a need, I can let him be promoted first."

"In addition, I also got a copy of the main material for the 'Legal Mage'."

Not only Barnett was stunned, but Angus was also stunned, he was still a little worried that after the family began to strongly support Hobart, his current position would not be guaranteed.

Now he is relieved and feels that his loyalty has been duly rewarded.

Barnett pondered for more than ten seconds before saying, "Then you won't have the full support of the family, and I will recall some members."

"Unfortunately, I thought it would be a good opportunity to work together."

"You may not understand one thing yet." Hobert said solemnly: "You think Longtail Island and South Coulson are taking care of myself?" ”

He suddenly said to Angus, "Tell me about your process for receiving the Level 1 seal. ”

"Yes!" Angus said, "The process of receiving the Level 1 seal is to perform a ceremony to give to the 'Founder', first prepare an altar, draw the symbol representing the 'Founder', and light three candles......"

The more Barnett listened, the more frightened he became, of course he had heard of the "founder", and he also knew that Hobart had a background as the "founder".

But I didn't expect that the "Founder" didn't sound like an evil god at all, and he could even use the way of giving it to Angus to obtain a level 1 seal when he needed it.

Hobert smiled and said, "Sir, you can go back and think about this matter, but what I want to tell you is that I have limited authority and limited resources to call up.

"But soon, I will be able to mobilize some of the demigods and extraordinary families loyal to the 'Founder', and the power of the Tudor family will be dispensable to me at that time."

To be exact, it is Hobart Promotion Sequence 2, or just Promotion Sequence 3, and those families who have good intentions towards the "founder" will naturally move towards Hobert.

Barnett fell into deep thought.

Angus was somewhat excited to think that after he became a demigod, he would have many demigod colleagues.

Archibald wondered if Hobert's status would not be as high as it is now after Hobart could mobilize the demigods? And how to express loyalty to the "founder"?

After waiting for more than half a minute, Hobart suddenly said, "Old man, do you know that when the Blood Emperor was on the throne, the main members of the royal family?" ”

Barnett was slightly stunned: "Of course I know, the family has always had a picture album handed down." ”

"That couldn't be better." Hobert got up: "In order to let you better understand the current situation, and also let you see what level of people are talking to me about cooperation." ”

Then he said in the ancient Hermetic language: "Messenger! ”

There was a space in the living room that suddenly became illusory, and a coffin floated out of the spirit realm and stood in front of everyone.

Hobert pointed at Barnett and smiled at the messenger, "Let me introduce you, this is one of the current patriarchs of the Tudor family, Mr. Barnett. ”

Barnett knew at a glance that this coffin was not ordinary, which reminded him of some records of the notes handed down by the family, and he quickly stood up.

Hobart said to Barnett, "This is Lady Beverly Heather Tuddor." ”

Barnett was a little surprised: "Your Royal Highness the Princess? ”

He was a little unsure, because according to the family's notes, the princess had died in battle!

Hobart asked the messenger, "May you show her your face?" ”

"Of course, I'm not afraid to see it." With that, the coffin board slashed upwards, revealing the scene inside the coffin, which contained a very beautiful lady wearing a classical court dress.

She seemed to be in her twenties, her face was pale, and she was smiling shallowly. The smile looks playful, and there is a bit of rebellion and frivolity in the eyes.

She has a delicate metal crossbow on her left hand and a wooden stick with fresh leaves on her right.

After seeing the other party's face, Barnett immediately knelt down on one knee: "Your Royal Highness, it turns out that you are not dead!" ”

The messenger said: "I am dead, otherwise why would I lie in a coffin?" ”

Barnett was stunned again, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Hobert looked at the coffin lid in a daze: I remembered that it was a flip lid, but I didn't expect it to be a sliding lid!

Then he smiled and said, "Lady Beverly, I have taken the liberty of calling you here, because this Mr. Barnett is eager to see you." ”

The messenger looked at Hobert and then at Barnett, and his eyes wandered: "A new era is coming, and this is an opportunity for the Tudor family!" ”

As she spoke, she held out her index finger and gestured a number 1 to Hobert.

Hobert first sighed at the wisdom of the young messenger, and had a rough idea of why he had been invited.

Then Hobart understood what he meant: it was a help from Him.

Previously, when the Courier noticed that Amon's doppelganger had invaded Tony's Manor, in order to prevent Tony's Manor from falling, Miss Courier asked Hobart to hunt Amon's doppelganger.

The Messenger promised to help Hobart three times within His power.

Hobert bowed his head to the messenger and said it was all right.

Barnett, who was kneeling on the ground, did not see this, and he said with some trepidation: "I will obey the princess's orders, and I will definitely seize the opportunity to make the Tudor family great again." ”

The messenger nodded, "It's good that we haven't forgotten this mission." ”

The Tudor family can move closer to Hobert, which is what the Courier would like to see.

With that, the lid of the coffin slid down and closed, and the messenger returned to the spirit realm.

Barnett fell to his knees for more than half a minute, having turned a blind eye to Hobert's "digging into the wall" for the past six months, just to occupy the moral high ground and add leverage to today's negotiations.

But what he didn't expect came one after another, and Hobert's eloquence, or rather Hobert's shamelessness, exceeded his expectations.

Immediately after that, Hobert could mobilize more resources than he expected, and of course, it was Her Royal Highness the princess who surprised him the most.

He had seen the royal character album left by the family, and in addition to the wise and martial Blood Emperor, the most eye-catching thing was this princess.

Among the notes left by the family members, they lamented the death of the princess more than once.

Princess Beverly turned out to be Hobert's partner, so what a fart is he talking about?

It's like a cooperation has been negotiated between the two head offices, and he is a branch manager, what else is there to talk about?

After being surprised that Her Royal Highness the princess was not dead, Barnett realized that Hobart was definitely the hope of the Tudor family, and it was absolutely right to put all the chips on Hobert.

It's just that what he can't accept is that he, the patriarch, will not have much decision-making power in this matter.

Barnett reluctantly accepted this fact before slowly getting up and sitting across from Hobert.

At this time, Hobert looked more kind: "If you plan to stay out of the matter, then I will recruit a group of members of the Tudor family at most."

"But if you want to get in, you have to give something.

"In the future, the members of the Tudor family will obey my orders in their work, but in life, it will not hinder their sense of identity with the Tudor family."

Barnett smiled bitterly: "I know, as I said before, I will send the extraordinary people of the family to you in batches." ”

"More important than that," says Hobert, "is to announce to them the faith of the 'founder.'

"There are no hard and fast requirements for the belief in the 'founders,' but let them know whose power they belong to."

In fact, Hobert does not have such a big need for extraordinary people at the moment, and in Hobert's opinion, Angus's squad is already a little bloated now, and it is better to come back when needed.

Banault nodded, and suddenly asked, "What is your extraordinary material for the 'Law Mage'?" ”

It was a roll of reddish-brown parchment the size of half a palm, and to see it was like seeing a constitution with sacred overtones.

This is what Hobert got from Archibald's secret puppet, and at first he didn't know what the name of this main material was, but some time ago he specifically consulted Christine: "The crystallization of the strip tiger!" ”

Barnett lamented, "It seems that this is indeed the arrangement of fate. ”

Then he said, "There happens to be another main material in the family, as well as the corresponding auxiliary materials, if you need them, I can send them all."

"But I have one condition, those who use these materials to be promoted must be members of the Tudor family."

Hoberton nodded and smiled, "No problem! ”

+1 for future demigods under his command.

Barnett offered another piece of master material, which was his surrender to Hobart.

Once again, Houbert asked the kitchen to prepare lunch, and this time Barnett did not refuse.

……

A desolate valley in the Central Plateau on the Northern Continent.

On both sides of the valley, there are quite a few dilapidated houses, which seem to have been uninhabited for a long time.

In the middle of the valley, there is a bottomless cave.

"Uh~"

Suddenly, there was a terrifying cry in the cave, like the cry of a wild beast, but not quite like it.

Entering the cave, you can first see many rooms built on both sides of the cave, which are built against the mountain, and one after another can be inhabited by people from the rocks.

At this time, the people who live in the cave are prostrate to the inside of the cave.

They worshipped and prayed.

Invisible to the cultists, in the shadows of the deepest part of the cavern, there was a humanoid monster with limbs and torso, but sometimes two more legs grew, sometimes the extra legs disappeared, and a pair of wings grew.

The head of this monster sometimes grows horns, sometimes it grows antlers.

In short, the state of her body seems to be constantly changing.

The only thing that hasn't changed is that face.

The facial features are exquisite, mature and beautiful, and it turned out to be Eply!

At this time, her face was cold, without a trace of emotion, and she didn't even seem to have any feelings.

"Uh~"

She let out an inhuman cry again, but she didn't seem to notice it, and her face remained cold.

At this time, Eppoli's consciousness was already blurred, as if she was in a fog where she could not see her fingers, forgetting where she was, forgetting what she was doing, and even who she was.

"Mother~"

A affectionate name appeared in Epuri's ear, and she still looked left and right, looking for the child she would not want to give up.

"Mother~"

The sound reappeared, and the surrounding fog suddenly rolled! Epli seemed to think of something, as if she realized something.

"Mother~"

Tears flowed from the corners of Ai Puli's eyes, and in the days and nights of fighting madness and loss of control, as well as the erosion of evil gods, what made her persist was the child with a fleshy mouth, bright and pure eyes, and a smile that could melt the heart.

"Mother~"

"Hey!" This title Epli had been waiting for a long, long time, and suddenly, the fog collapsed, the darkness covered her vision, and she regained consciousness!

After seeing her current appearance, she used all her strength to begin to restrain her spirituality and began to restrain all the mutations.

Eventually, she returned to normalcy.

Glancing at the black jade in her palm with the dove and vase motifs, Epli smiled lovingly.

But then, she put away her smile, put on her robe, and went to the outside of the cave.

The worshippers seemed to realize something and became more and more religious.

Even Spike, who had a beard on his upper lip and a little dazed eyes, came out of the room, "You, you made it!" ”

Epli smiled, "Of course.

"I said a long time ago that I am closer to the Mother Goddess than you are."

……

It was Monday, and it was raining again in Beckland.

In such weather, Beckland was even brighter, because the fog was completely washed away by the rain.

As soon as Hobert arrived at MI9, Cunas came over: "Take advantage of the fact that there is no case today, let's go out and play cards together." ”

Before Hobert could refuse, Cunas said, "Today the club has Admiral Emilius and Lieutenant General Miller. ”

They are the main shareholders of the military side of the "Earl Light" plant.

Hobart thought for a moment before he nodded, "Okay, let's go." ”

The two men chatted casually and took a carriage to the "East Bailang Veterans Club".

Halfway through, the sky suddenly cleared.

Beckland was wet and spotless in the sun.

Chunas looked outside and said, "To be honest, it's been a long time since I've had such a good view in Beckland.

"The storm is above, is that the sun? I've almost forgotten it's pie-shaped. ”

Hobart smiled very loudly: "You are a gentleman of humor. ”

When I came to the club's chess and card room, I saw Admiral Emilius with neatly combed hair and Lieutenant General Miller with burgundy hair in the private room.

The four of them were briefly polite and began to sit down and play "Fighting Evil", one of them as a substitute, with bets starting at 1 pound.

While playing cards, Hobert learns the reason for calling him today.

General Emilius, who had just assumed the post of Minister of Defense, and Lieutenant General Miller, who had just taken office as Minister of Defense, used their influence to approve the procurement plan for the installation of electric lights in the barracks.

This is not a small order, not only the military camps around Beckland, but also the stationary military camps across the country, will gradually install electric lights!

This is also the reason why Hobart wants to form his own interest group, and these bigwigs can win "national" orders for the light bulb factory!

"It's really exciting news." Hobert was already thinking about how to scale up production.

It took a second or two for Hobart to suddenly realize: "I'm sorry, I haven't taken over a business of this scale before, I don't know what percentage is popular now?" ”

Hobert asked for kickbacks.

Even shareholders must have a kickback, otherwise why are people busy running before and after? How much is the dividend?

Chunas explained, "10 percent. ”

If it was to talk about this kind of business with the nobles, Hobert asked a little too bluntly, but when talking about business with the soldiers, it would not disgust them to be blunt once in a while.

And it was Emilius and Miller who were 10% each, and correspondingly, if Hobert's offer was higher than the market price, the two of them would turn a blind eye when they approved the corresponding documents.

Hober nodded, ready to give Chunas some favors at the start of this round of trades, provided he was still alive, of course.

After completing the deal, Lt. Gen. Miller had to leave beforehand.

The remaining three men continued to "fight evil", and Hobart found that his poker skills were really poor, starting with a bet of 1 pound, he had already lost more than 100 pounds.

Emilius couldn't help but smile and said, "If you are short of money one day, you can call Hobert to play cards." ”

Hobert laughed and said, "I'm afraid that I'll lose all the money in the light bulb factory because of playing cards." ”

While talking and laughing, Emilius suggested playing "Texas" for a while, as the general said, this kind of entertainment, which tests more observation, judgment and acting skills, is more suitable for Hobert, and the three of them are not divided into top and bottom for a while, and they have a lot of fun.

I don't know who turned on the demigod coercion first, and the three of them are still engaged in spiritual confrontation while playing cards.

When Colonel Calvin, one of Emilius' subordinates, entered the card room, he felt as if he had been hit hard in the chest.

Entering the door with him, Councilor Makht was caressing his heart: "Goddess. ”

Then he rolled his eyes and fell straight to the ground.

Thankfully, Colonel Calvin held him up.

Hobert waited for the three of them to restrain the majesty of the demigods, and then looked at each other and smiled.

In the spiritual contest just now, they finally came to the conclusion that they were about the same strength as each other.

This changed Emilius and Cunas's opinion of Hobert, although they didn't say it before, they always felt that Hobart was stained with Christine's light and didn't have much ability.

At this time, they were first convinced of Hobert's power, so the "Earl's Light" electric light factory may have really been created by Hobert, rather than under Christine's orders.

Emilius and Chunas certainly don't say anything like "I'm sorry", and finally Hobert smiles and says, "I was too involved in playing the cards just now." ”

As he spoke, he used a "healing technique" on Congressman Makht.

Councilor Mahert came to his senses, but needed to slow down for a while, and Colonel Calvin calmed down and said to Admiral Emilius: "General, the negotiation is settled, and Dawn is willing to go to the Southern Continent." ”

Hobert was slightly stunned: Dawn? It's Klein! To the arms business in the Southern Continent?

Then Hobert smiled and sighed: "Time flies so fast, it's July in a blink of an eye." (Note)

At noon, Hobert had lunch at the club with Emilius and Cunas, and the three of them went about their own business in a carriage.

After returning to MI9, Hobert began to fish again, arriving in South Coulson, where he found Folth at the Green Manor.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and lay on the bed together while chatting while waiting for the tarot meeting to begin.

At three o'clock, the sight of the two people was covered by gray mist, and they appeared on either side of the bronze long table.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~" "Justice" Audrey's crisp voice sounded as usual, this is already a constant part of the Tarot Society.

After saying hello, the "Hermit" Gadelia was about to speak, when he saw Mr. Fool knock twice on the mottled bronze table with his knuckles.

The dull sound made the spirits of the members of the Tarot Society tense suddenly, which meant that Mr. Fool had something to say.

Audrey judged in her heart: What is worthy of Mr. Fool's emphasis at the beginning must be a big deal!

"Fool" Klein looked around and smiled slightly: "Amon has recently arrived in Beckland, clone. ”

"The Sun" Derick immediately recalled not so good memories: "Blasphemer" Amon!

"Magician" Furth looked at Hobert: two or three months ago, the "Founder" had just hunted Amon's doppelganger in the Rorsted Islands, and now Amon's doppelganger appeared in Beckland, could it be that he found some clues, tracked down Beckland, or simply went to find Hobert?

"Emperor" Hobert sighed in his heart: Last week, Klein had a very fulfilling life. It should have seen Amon's doppelganger from a distance, or got the corresponding clues, if it was a head-on encounter, Mr. Fool at this time must have come to the party with monocles.

Then he thought again: No wonder he agreed to go to the arms business to the Southern Continent today, that is to take the opportunity to go out and hide!

Audrey was a little worried: Amon! Amun, the Angel of Time, how did He appear in Beckland? I've been listening to the story of the previous battle in the Rorsted Islands, and when Amon appeared in Beckland, I realized that it was a mythical and real-life person.

She asked, "Dear Mr. Fool, can I find a way to inform the church about this?" ”

Sue, inform the church? Hobert smiled: Miss Justice, you are definitely a devout disciple of Mr. Fool, a competent member of the Tarot Society!

Klein had already thought about it, but at the same time he realized that the church might not be able to catch all of Amon's doppelgangers, and Amon's doppelgängers would probably trace back to the truth of their own discovery and eventually find the informer.

The risk is too great.

So Klein just said in a flat tone, "Leave Him alone!" ”

"The Hanged Man" Alger was a little in awe and abrupt: don't worry about him! As long as it wasn't Amon's ontology, it wouldn't be a big problem for Mr. Fool? Well, Mr. Fool emphasized this at the beginning, and the purpose should be to make us be careful.

Audrey also interpreted the meaning of "it's just a small thing".

Hobert resisted the urge to twitch the corners of his mouth: You pretended to be it again.

Firth was still a little worried about Hobert, so he asked, "Dear Mr. Fool, what does Amon's doppelganger want to do when he goes to Beckland?" ”

Klein pondered his words, looked around and smiled, "Looking for you." ”

Hobert pinched his forehead to hide his discomfort: Fool who does not belong to this era, you are a god of pretense!

He paused and said in his heart: In the matter of pretending to be forced, I only serve the "fool", one thing, I can pretend twice! It's not right, in fact, everyone is too cooperative, and the opportunity to pretend to be forced in the second round is given.

As Klein expected, at this time, Audrey had already connected with the sentence "Leave Him Alone" just now, and launched a corresponding association: Amon's doppelganger is here to find us, but we don't care about Him! In other words, under the protection of Mr. Fool, we don't have to be afraid of being discovered by Amun!

Alger also had a related association: according to the information he received from the emperor before, Mr. Fool and Amon are adjacent routes, does Amon want to find Mr. Fool through us? Is this a game between gods and spirits for their old place?

Gadelia didn't know about the adjacent pathway, she just remembered: The "Founder" had hunted Amun's clone once in the Rorsted Islands before, and now that the news of Amun's clone in Bakeland was known to Mr. Fool, would he also organize a hunt?

Furth breathed a sigh of relief: it wasn't just for Hobert.

"The Moon" Emlyn and "The Sun" Derick tasted the meaning of Mr. Fool's two sentences in a slow time, and praised Mr. Fool in their hearts.

Seeing that the members of the Tarot Society had become alert to Amon's clone, Klein looked at everyone leisurely like the previous party, signaling the official start of the party.

Gadelia stopped guessing in her heart: "Dear Mr. Fool, this time there are three new pages of the diary. ”

After the diary was revealed, Mr. Fool's reading session began.

Klein's eyes swiped across the diary, this time the contents of the diary were more chaotic, some described the "Dusk Hermit Society", some speculated about the abyss, and said that he had encountered a small church that believed in the ancient sun god!

The priest in the church was a gentle, restrained middle-aged man, dressed in a simple white robe, with a pale gold beard that almost covered the lower half of his face, and a pair of pale eyes as clear as a child's.

After reading the three pages of the diary, Klein thought for a few seconds, the diary in his hand disappeared, and then looked at the "hermit".

Gardelia bowed her head and said, "Dear Mr. Fool, I would like to know, where is the destination of the heart and spirit of Russell the Great?" On that island, or in the depths of the starry sky? ”

Klein remembered a journal he had read a long time ago: On that island? The primordial island that killed Grimm and surprised the Great? It seems that the Emperor attached great importance to this island in the later period, and even the "mysterious queen" Bernadette was aware of it.

Then he thought: Why does Bernadette think of the depths of the starry sky? The Great behaves too ahead of his time in many places, so he is suspected of being an alien by his daughter?

Klein groaned slightly, then smiled, "Neither." ”

Cordelia chewed on Mr. Fool's answer, and suddenly did not understand the true meaning of the question just now.

Hobert realized: this was Bernadette's tentative search for the last tomb of Russell the Great?

The other members were either at a loss for answers, or had various interpretations, and the hall fell silent for a while.

Finally, Crane in the gray fog said, "You guys start." ”

Hobart cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Fool mentioned Amon's clone just now, and I think, as a member of the Tarot Society, I have the obligation to briefly describe the previous battle against Amon's clone. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, Klein: I didn't expect my reminder to lead to such a critical piece of information.

Audrey also sighed: What's wrong today? Will the Tarot really go to war with Amon's clone?

Gadelia asked, "I will participate in the transaction with this information, how much are you going to bid?" ”

Hobert pursed his lips and smiled, "It's free!" ”

He said in his heart: Just kidding, now Lao Tzu's net worth has suddenly soared to millions of pounds, and he just finished talking about hundreds of thousands of pounds in the morning, and he still cares about your thousands of pounds?

Note: In the original book, it was actually September, but in order to give the plot a certain amount of time to spread out, the author advanced it by more than a month. But it doesn't affect the parallel relationship with the timeline of the original book, because in the original book, it jumped directly from June to September, and the author just didn't jump like this (* ̄) ̄)
