In the middle of the night, Hobert picked up Audrey as promised, and came to the villa on the outskirts of Beckland.

However, this time, there are many delicacies on the table, many of which Audrey has never seen.

Audrey was still wearing the long dress that looked more ordinary, but was very beautiful by her perfect body, and she smiled: "Is this a special waffle from Saigal?" I've only seen it in magazines. ”

The small country of Saigar in the Northern Continent has not yet established diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Rune, so there is almost no trade between the two sides, and the food of Saigar has basically never appeared in Beckland.

She picked up another string of small meatball-like food: "What is this?" ”

"Purple sweet potato balls." Hobert smiled, "The specialty of the Rorsted Islands, well, is relatively niche. ”

Audrey glanced at the other delicacies: "These don't seem to be the ones you can buy at the night market." ”

"Yes." Hobert smiled: "I opened a food court in South Coulson, which was brought from there, you taste, it's very distinctive." ”

Audrey tasted a small sip of purple potato balls, sweet, and a fragrance of purple potatoes, she nodded again and again: "It's really good!" ”

She smiled sweetly as she ate, "I've never seen some of them." ”

Hobert explained the food on the table, started a barbecue, poured beer, and the two talked as they ate.

Audrey asked curiously, "Hobert, why did you announce the process of making the bulb and the wire?" And why have you turned down all the invitations recently? I heard you haven't been to work lately? ”

"I've had other things to do lately, and of course I must admit, it's more that I don't want to see those idiots." Hobert smiled: "As for why those processes are disclosed, of course, they want to use other people's money to expand the production capacity of electric lights. ”

Audrey didn't understand: "Do you want to borrow money from others?" I heard from my father that the 'Earl's Light' is very profitable! ”

"It's a business strategy, not about borrowing money." Hobert explained.

Audrey was intrigued: "My father said you must have your idea! ”

"Your father was a visionary aristocrat." Hobert smiled: "Let's make an idea, everyone knows that light bulbs and wires make money, and after I announce the process, there will be a lot of capitalists, well, or rich people want to produce these two products, right?" ”

Audrey was stunned, she had heard the word "capitalist" for the first time.

Hobert: "That's when they'll find that there's no light or wire production line on the market, and if they want to put it into production, they'll find that they need to buy equipment from me."

"This is the first part of the revenue generated for the 'Earl's Light'."

Hobert took a sip of wine and continued: "After they started production, I found out that I didn't disclose the key battery process.

"So do you have to buy batteries from me to make up a complete set of available goods?

"Even if they have access to the process of obtaining the battery, they will find that the quality of the battery they produce is too different from the quality of the battery of the 'Earl Light', because we have the technology of hard rubber.

"In the near future, battery housings will also be replaced with hard plastic.

"Even if they developed their own hard rubber technology...... After all, as long as you invest tens of thousands of pounds in this technology, you should be able to master it.

"But at this time, they will find out that they also buy electricity from me, so that the lights can be on."

Audrey was a little shocked: "Are lawyers so good at doing business?" ”

This industry can't break free from Hobart's control!

Hobart smiled heartily, "Not every lawyer is so good at doing business. ”

Then he asked, "When will you be promoted to Sequence 6?" ”

At a previous ball, Audrey had talked about it, and she was almost done with her potions and was ready to be promoted in the near future.

Audrey was about to answer, but Hobert suddenly reached out and made a gesture not to speak.

He looked solemnly in the direction of the village, and suddenly a white figure appeared out of thin air.

Audrey was startled, and Hobert "twisted" the distance and blocked Audrey in front of her.

Then the space next to him and Audrey became illusory, but before they could enter the spirit world, a solemn female voice came from there: "Contact with the spirit world is forbidden here. ”

That illusory space immediately became smaller and quickly vanished.

Hobert did not rush to escape in any other way, but smiled and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Your Excellency?" ”

As soon as the other party spoke, Hobert heard who she was.

When the other party got closer, it was indeed the woman who was elegantly dressed, wearing a gauze hat, and the muslin hung down to see the other party's face clearly.

In the Great Smog of Beckland, it was she and the "mad mage" who died in the foggy town that prevented Hobert from killing the "Witch of Despair" who was "making poison".

At the same time, Hobert also knows that this is a Sequence 3 "Chaos Hunter".

What Hobart didn't know was that she had also appeared on the battlefield after the battle in which he had just "mutinied" and returned to Bakeland to go on a killing spree, and the Tamara family was caught off guard by Bakeland's forces.

The other party smiled and said, "What do I have to do with you, don't you know?" ”

Hobert replied unhurriedly, "I don't know." ”

The other party came to the gate of the courtyard and glanced at the food on the table: "What a sumptuous supper, are the nobles so extravagant?" ”

As she spoke, she sat down in Audrey's original place, picked up a piece of roast meat, lifted the veil and tasted it: "It tastes good." ”

Hobart cast a color on Audrey, telling her to stay as far away from the table as possible.

Audrey probably read the hostility implied by the woman in front of her, so she took a few steps back according to the meaning of Hobert's eyes.

Hobart stepped forward and sat opposite the "chaos hunter": "You say, do you want money or power?" If you just want to have a late night snack, then please use it, we are willing to make you a friend. ”

The Chaos Hunter smiled, "You're pretty calm!" ”

She said, "Introduce yourself, Althea Tamara. ”

Hobert nodded: "I've heard of this family. ”

"Did you just hear about it?" Althea stared at Hobert: "My student died at your hands, and the power of the Tamara family in Beckland was also severely damaged by you, right?" ”

At this time, Hobert was still very calm on the surface: "After drinking this wine, continue to find your enemy, you have mistaken the target." ”

Althea took out a wooden stick, which was the "Wood of Order" that had been used once, and this was a "Wood of Order" used by the "Hurricane Lieutenant General" Zielingers who was now very tall in the Eastern Side when he was in Hobert's Sequence 8.

At that time, he didn't have time to recover it because he was in a hurry, and when he went back to look for it, he never found it, but he didn't expect it to be taken by Orthea.

Although the stick no longer had the "power of order", Orthea could still feel that it was special, and the members of the family's council took it more seriously than she could have imagined after inspecting it.

The council tasked her with all the power to investigate the owner of the stick, so she had been in Belcrane for most of the year.

At the scene where Beckland's family power was severely damaged, she also found that the power contained in the wooden stick in her hand seemed to appear there.

So at that time, she had already decided that finding the owner of the wooden stick was the same as finding the murderer who attacked the family members.

Althea smiled, "As far as I can see, your cane is made of the same material!" ”

Hobert picked up the cane on the table: "Ancestral, I have many more at home, if you want it, I'll give you a bundle." ”

Althea said again: "I used a magical item to divinate just now, and I can't tell any information about you, the murderer who killed my student, the murderer who severely damaged the power of Beckland, and the result of this divination is the same. ”

Hobart took out a piece of "Order Crystal": "It's also ancestral!" ”

"Haha!" Althea didn't expect Hobert to push it cleanly: "Then I have to start 'interrogating' you." ”

What she meant was to use her extraordinary ability to inflict pain in a way that forced confessions.

Hobert looked at the other party's hanging splens: "Are you so sure it's me?" ”

He knew that he couldn't resist the "spiritual whip" of the sequence 3 level, and the other party had the corresponding extraordinary ability to distinguish whether he was lying or not.

"I'm not sure about it." Althea said, "But seeing you so calm, I can be completely sure of my guesses. ”

Hobart asked again, "And how did you find me?" ”

"When I passed by here before, I felt a familiar smell in my spirit." Althea said: "And I don't have any acquaintances in Beckland, so I often come to visit, and today happened to let me meet you." ”

"Then why don't you just kill me?" Hobert finally asked, "As far as I know, you should also need the extraordinary characteristics of the 'lawyer' pathway, right?" ”

"I want to ask you a few questions, I'm afraid that after I kill you, I won't be able to psychic." Althea replied in a flat tone.

Audrey on the side was already very worried, listening to the other party's meaning, she was here to seek revenge on Hobert, and Hobert was obviously not the opponent of the self-proclaimed Orthea.

But Audrey also knew that she couldn't help at all, so she was a little anxious.

Hobert seemed to weigh it before saying, "Okay, I can answer your question, but you have to let my companion go." ”

Althea glanced at Audrey: "What a beautiful little girl, if I were a man, I would be very happy to give her the chance to live!" ”

Then she said solemnly, "Okay, little girl, you can go." ”

Audrey looked at Hobert and immediately deduced from the other party's eyes and expressions that it would be a burden for her to stay here.

Hobert said, "Miss Justice, let's go." ”

Audrey immediately understood what Hobart meant, and walked briskly out of the yard.

Althea was a little strange: "Her name is justice? ”

"That's her pen name." Hobert smiled, "We're pen pals. ”

Althea sneered: "The nobles really know how to play. ”

She said, "Alright, here we go." Why did you kill a member of the Tamara family! ”

Althea warned, "If you lie next, I'll find out." ”

"Because I need their extraordinary properties," Hobert said. ”

After being with Audrey for a long time, Hobart has developed a very good lying technique, he is telling the truth, but he does not tell all the truth.

Therefore, the meaning conveyed to Althea is simply for the extraordinary characteristics, or simply for the gold pound to kill.

Althea asked again, "Then why did you kill my students?" ”

"May I ask your students, do you have a pair of big ears?" Because of the strange appearance of the other party, Hobert was very impressed by this member of the Tamara family.

"Yes!"

"He assassinated me for a reward, and I chased him after him and killed him," Hobert said. ”

This is also true.

Althea was slightly stunned, this answer was not quite what she had imagined.

Then she asked, "Where did you get the wood for your staff?" ”

"Bestowed by a great being."

"Who?"

"I can't say it, I'll die if I say it, and if you channeled my spirit body in this way, it will definitely get out of control."

"You lied."

"That's right." Hobart smiled, "Because I don't know how badly you can die." ”

Althea realized that it could be dangerous if she continued to ask.

And the answer given by Hobart is far from what Althea imagined, there is no conspiracy between extraordinary organizations, no trickery of hidden organizations, only because of the struggle for extraordinary characteristics and because of coincidence of killings.

So she got up and said, "Are you ready?" ”

Hobert also got up: "You don't think I'm going to be so tied up, do you?" ”

Althea smiled "hehe": "Vain resistance." ”

Then she smiled and said, "Aha, look who is back, isn't this the little girl who just left?" Little girl, are you lost? ”

It was Audrey who came to the gate of the courtyard, and she was a little out of breath: "Around, the roads around are repeated, I always run out for a distance, and then inexplicably return to the starting point." ”

Hobert seemed to realize that "you didn't plan to let any of us go?" ”

"Of course." Althea said seriously.

Hobert smiled and said, "You shouldn't have let her out of here!" ”

Althea was slightly stunned and looked into the air, as if realizing something.

Click~

A bolt of lightning struck Orthea, and she leapt out of the way.

Click~

The thunder and lightning that the sages are afraid of keep falling one by one.

Althea had no time to care about Hobert and struggled to avoid lightning strikes.

These thunderbolts are of course the masterpieces of the "Fool", and when Audrey left just now, Hobert knew that it was impossible for the other party to let Audrey go, so he called her "Miss Justice", so that she had the opportunity to ask the "Fool" for help.

Hobart took advantage of this opportunity to come to Audrey in a "distorted" space, picked up Audrey, whose hair stood on end due to thunder and lightning, and left with "twisting", preparing to run a certain distance before trying to leave with "travel".

But soon Hobert found that he had used three "twists" and was only three or four meters away from the yard.

After thinking about it for a while, he realized that in the third sequence of the "arbitrator" pathway, it was already possible to "arbitrate" the natural rules within a certain range.

The reason why this sequence is called "chaos hunter" may be that it can achieve an effect similar to "chaos" by "arbitrating" the normal laws of nature.

For example, if the distance of ten meters is "arbitrated" as "invalid", then if Hobert runs out of ten meters, it is equivalent to running in vain.

So Hobert no longer used "twist", and simply used "chaos" continuously, plunging the surrounding space into "chaos", and at the same time ran hard, and sure enough, quickly left the courtyard of the villa.

This is equivalent to Althea has been "arbitrating" the laws of nature around her: the distance of ten meters is "invalid".

Now Hobart has made the surrounding space chaotic, which is equivalent to confusing the laws of nature around him: ten meters? How long is ten meters? So long, or so long?

"Chaos Hunter" Althea said as she dodged the thunderbolts, "No running here!" ”

Hobert felt as if his legs were shackled, and it took all his strength to get out of the way, and he was slower than a snail when he ran like this.

He took a deep breath, put his feet together, and jumped forward suddenly, without any obstacles, jumping seven or eight meters away at once, and jumping forward like this was no slower than running with all his might.

Audrey in her arms showed a smile while holding on to Hobert's clothes tightly: It's much more exciting than horseback riding!

Althea was never able to leave the Thunderbolt Forest, so she could only continue: "Big jumps are forbidden here! ”

Hobert's legs immediately seemed to be wrapped around a rope, and at the end of the rope was a large iron ball, and his feet were pulled back as soon as they left the ground.

He was stunned for about half a second, and immediately put Audrey on his back, then lay down and crawled forward quickly, a little faster than running.

Audrey suddenly had some self-doubt: Am I in the middle of an extraordinary battle now? Why do I feel like I'm participating in a circus performance?

This operation made Althea a little confused: this is not "forbidden"?

Then she dodged the lightning and said, "Crawling is forbidden here!" ”

So Hobert began to frog with Audrey on his back.

"Frog jumping is forbidden here!"

So Hobart crossed his legs and left Audrey on his lap, while he fled with two arms upside down.

"No ...... here" Althea found that Hobert had run out of her forbidden range.

Seeing that Hobert had not yet noticed it, and was still running upside down, she hurriedly recited: "Symbol of chaos,

the endorsement of entropy,

A source of turmoil and strife,

The terminator of all laws!

"Your loyal subordinates ask for your help, ask to catch the man the council is looking for!"

……

Hobert "ran" upside down for a while, but didn't hear the other party continue to "forbidden", so he ran a few steps in turn, and sure enough, he could run.

He picked up Audrey again, and after only a few steps of running, his spirit felt extremely dangerous.

There seemed to be a tall figure in front of him, but he couldn't see what he looked like, and he couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman, as if a force had "distorted" his vision.

Then came a tremendous pressure, as if to overwhelm Hobert and Audrey.

Hobert struggled to spit out a Guhemite syllable: "The Messenger! ”

A heavy classical coffin flew out of the void and stood in front of Hobart and Audrey.

The two men suddenly breathed like drowning people who had been rescued from the water.

The messenger Beverly's coffin board was cut open, and when she saw the person in front of her, she was slightly stunned: "Pedi? Are you promoted? ”

The angel who came to stop Hobart was none other than Pedi Tamara, who had caused the civil war in the Tamara family.

Hobert had heard of the "Duke of Entropy" from the necromancer of the Tamara family in "1-107".

Beverly, who was not in good shape, didn't walk much in the real world before becoming the Hobart Messenger, and she didn't know that Pedi had been promoted to the "Duke of Entropy" more than a thousand years ago.

Pei Di was also stunned: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you, no, you are resurrected?" ”

The Tamara family used to be the great nobles of the Tuduo Empire, and the two of them have known each other for a long time.

Hobert, of course, didn't have time to listen to their reminiscences, and immediately used the "trip" to leave.

At the moment of entering the spirit world, he decided to go to the north to find a more desolate place to take refuge.

He didn't know if the angel named Pedi had a way to catch up, if he went to Longtail Island or South Coulson, in case of conflict with the other party, his territory would suffer a lot of losses.

If he returned to Beckland and Pedi chased after him, it would attract the attention of the royal angels, and Pedi would definitely be driven away soon, but it would not be in Hobert's interest.

He plans to wait in the "Land of Disorder" in the wilderness, and if the other party chases him, then immediately let the "Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord" and the "Holy Child King" surround him, and then ask the messenger for help, and add the "Founder" to directly cripple this guy!

After all, he saw Hobart's true face, which was equivalent to the Tamara family knowing that Hobart had killed many of their members, and that Hobart had the "Wood of Order" in his hands.

Then there is no need to be soft, it is best to be able to beat the opponent's high-end combat power so that he can't take care of himself.

It's not a luxury to be killed for the time being, after all, it's an angel!

Just now, Hobart lacked two or three seconds, and if he had this time, he could enter the "Land of Disorder", and he would be able to use some of the abilities of the "Founder" to fight back.

First, there was a lack of time, and second, he was afraid that the "fool" would see the clues, so he simply chose to escape.

After arriving in the wilderness, Hobert first hid Audrey in a wood, and then went to a small hill and prayed to himself.

Just as he was about to enter the "Land of Disorder", a picture suddenly appeared in Hobert's mind.

It was the "fool's" point of view, and from a distance, Beverly and Pedi seemed to talk a few words, catch up, and then go their separate ways.

The "Fool" also stopped the thunderbolt attack, and Althea fled in some confusion, fleeing in the direction of Beckland.

Hobart sincerely thanked Mr. Fool, who today was enjoying the benefits of being a member of the Tarot Society for the first time.

After waiting for a while, he felt that the "Fool" should "go offline" and go back to make up for sleep, so he entered the "Land of Disorder", observed the vicinity of the hill with his own stars, and did not see the angels of the Tamara family chasing after him.

After more than ten minutes, the other party still did not chase after him, and Hobert sighed, it seems that the other party did not have time to leave any marks on his body.

It's just that Althea is still in Beckland, and Hobert pondered for a while, and now he has to go back to the Earl's Court to join Dophes first, and a "fallen earl" and an "undead" will probably be able to fight with a "chaos hunter".

And Hobart thinks that unless the other party is crazy, it is impossible to attack an earl in Queens.

After making sure that there is no danger, send Audrey back.

So Hobart returned to the real world and found Audrey, and when she saw Hobert, she hurriedly said, "Did you have the picture given by Mr. Fool in your mind just now?" ”

"There were." Hobert first pretended to praise the "fool", and then briefly stated his plan.

Audrey, of course, would not object, so the two of them returned to the hall of Hobert's Earl's Court with a "trip".

Hobert was about to go to find Dophes, but saw Selena hurriedly coming in from outside: "Thank God, teacher, it's good that you're in Beckland!" ”

Seeing the other party's panicked expression, Hobert asked first, "What's wrong?" ”

"My sister-in-law gave birth!"

Hobert looked in the direction of Doffez's room and said a little distractedly: "Congratulations, is it a man or a woman?" ”

Selena's voice trembled a little, "It's an egg!" ”

"Huh?" Hobert thought he had misheard: "An egg? ”

He suddenly remembered Selena's brother and sister-in-law's habit of sticking out their tongues.
