Although Hobert and Audrey's engagement ceremony was simple, there were no less guests who should have come.

In terms of the royal family, the queen and the queen mother attended this drinking party together, giving face to Duke Christine and Earl Hall.

If it weren't for the aristocratic etiquette, Cowenton II would have wanted to attend, and praised Hobert's victory in the Southern Continent at the reception.

The nobles who attended the reception were mainly relatives of Count Hall's side, or relatives of the Hall family's relatives, and basically half of the nobles of the Kingdom of Rune were present.

Christine's guests were simpler, he didn't have any relatives in Beckland, and he didn't want to contact the Tudor family, so he invited some comrades and colleagues.

As for Hobert, his only aristocratic relative was Christine, so he invited mainly the managers and shareholders of the "Earl's Light".

As a result, the shareholders had already received invitations from Earl Hall or Christine, and in the end Hobart only invited Lord Bradley, a close confidant he had installed in the House of Representatives.

Because it was a drinking party, there was no need to dance the opening dance, and as soon as you came up, you started socializing with a wine glass.

Hobert and Audrey didn't need much preparation either, so the two of them didn't arrive until about half past ten, but they each changed into more formal dresses.

Today they are definitely the protagonists of this drinking party, and as soon as they appeared, there were many nobles around the two of them.

So Hobert began to talk rhetorically: "...... The General Staff of the Principality of South Bailang was very competent, and he was keenly aware at the beginning of the civil war that although the rebels were 20 times larger than our army, they were not very strong in combat.

"I am very satisfied with the plan for the decisive battle made by the General Staff...... Hey, Count Taylor, don't you go, don't you really want to talk to me about the civil war in the Duchy of South Bailang at the previous ball?

"Ahem, ahem, I continue to describe the excitement of this war, the field of the war is preset in a hilly area, so that the enemy's superiority in forces is difficult to show.

"On the day of the battle, I personally led the soldiers to launch one charge after another...... Hey, hey, several, are you going too?

"I haven't talked about the highlights yet, those agents are chased by me and run away......"

Audrey smiled helplessly on the sidelines and watched the nobles leave one by one with bad faces.

In the end, in the second half of the party, none of the nobles came to chat with them again.

Earl Hall in the distance was also a little helpless, if he didn't know Hobert's ability very well, he didn't want his daughter to marry such a vengeful young man.

For young people, revenge must be revenge to show temperament, which is a sign of youth.

But it is not suitable for the aristocracy, many times it is necessary to show their own mind.

Towards the end of the reception, Archbishop Anthony personally presided over a brief engagement ceremony for Hobart and Audrey.

In addition to exchanging rings, Hobert also gave Audrey the seal of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Duchy of South Bailang that had been prepared.

Of course, the nobles understood that this seal meant a kind of political binding, and in the future, Audrey would not only be the Grand Duchess, but also have real power in a certain field.

But several sophisticated politicians, such as the Earl of Hall, were already keenly aware that Hobert had no intention of allowing the nobles of Backerland to influence the internal affairs of the Duchy of South Bairan.

This made Earl Hall sigh in his heart: I have seen many people who are gifted in certain fields, but very few people who are gifted in politics and statecraft. Often this field requires constant training to find the trick in it, but Hobart didn't have much training to achieve a very high level!

After the ceremony, the reception was basically over.

Although everything is carried out according to the principle of simplicity, the identities of the two parties to the engagement should not be too simple.

In order to celebrate the successful conclusion of the ceremony, there was also a banquet and a dance party in the evening, and the social activities of the day officially ended.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Hobert was the last to leave Christine's mansion and return to the Duke's Palace alone in a carriage.

Although after becoming an angel, he does not feel tired unless he is spiritually exhausted, he does not want to participate in such boring activities anymore.

It's not that Hobart hates drinking parties or balls, it's that he doesn't talk to the nobles.

Back at the Duke's Palace, Hobert summoned Dophys to the study.

"I have made a request to the 'Founder', and the great 'Creator' has agreed to help you digest the potion as soon as possible." Hobert's conversation with the nonchalant Dopheus is habitually straight to the point.

Dophis said expressionlessly, "Thank you." ”

The "undead" potion requires 3 deaths and 3 resurrections before it can be basically digested.

According to the time from each resurrection to death, it takes 60 years, and it takes 180 years to fully digest the potion.

However, there are some tricks in this process, such as "tampering" with the year of resurrection and ushering in death early.

This is the same idea as Archibald's "tampering" of the ritual of promotion to "ancient scholar", and even the effect is similar, it is all tampering with his own "year".

Dophys had mentioned before that it was recorded in his family's classics that if he wanted to digest the potion in advance, he either needed the "blessing" of the "Pale Emperor", or he would ask the "Prince of Killing" to help.

Dophes doesn't seem to belong to the faction that supports the "Pale Empress" of the Southern Continent, so he prefers to wait for Hobert's promotion to help him digest the potion.

At present, if the "Founder" wears uniqueness, it can make more thorough distortions and tamperings than the "Prince of Killing Order", and only needs to be resurrected for 6 days at a time, and it can usher in a death and resurrection.

In other words, it only takes 18 days for the potion of Dophes "Undead" to be basically digested.

If it doesn't work, do it again, plus another 6 days.

Hobert asked again, "How are you preparing for the ceremony of being promoted to 'ferryman'?" ”

"When I became an 'immortal', I had already asked my family to help build the mausoleum." Dophes replied: "For now, it just needs to be done with the corresponding extraordinary arrangement." ”

Hobert nodded: "The merit you received from the battle of defending Angelou before is not enough to exchange for the extraordinary trait of the 'Ferryman', but I will help you apply for the trait in advance, and then make up for the merit after you are promoted." ”

Dofis said dryly, "Okay." ”

Hobert, who had long since become accustomed to Dophes's way of speaking, continued: "After becoming Sequence 3, you will go to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”

Dophiz is the helper that Hobert arranged for Audrey, and this arrangement is due to the fact that Dophes is a descendant of the Emperor Hades and a member of the Eggers family, and he knows the situation of the various forces in the Southern Continent very well.

In the future, when the power of the South Principality of Bairan further expands to the north, it will definitely deal with the remaining forces of the Bairan Empire, and Dophis is the best choice to deal with them.

Dophiz was surprised by this arrangement: "I am not good at words. ”

Hobert smiled: "Who stipulates that working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must be good at words?" You will be in charge of diplomatic strategy. ”

Dophiz thought for a moment before saying, "Okay." ”

Hobert added, "Before you go to digest the potion, help me find a competent butler." ”

……

The next morning, Hobert went to Longtail Island again and asked the servants to repack the gazebo they had set up for Klein.

After making preparations, Hobert asked the servants to leave the backyard of the Doge's Palace, and then took out the "Lemanno's Magic Book", and used its ability to summon the "Historical Projection", and successfully summoned the dazed Gelman Sparrow in one go.

At the same time, lightning snaked in the air, and the "God's Forsaken Land" was dominated by darkness and dead silence.

In the darkness, there was a lone light, moving unhurriedly.

It was Crane, and he was walking alone, as if he were the only one left in the world.

But it's best not to run into anyone else, because in the wilderness of the "forsaken land of God" you meet either a member of the true Creator's church or a doppelganger of Amun.

Suddenly, Klein felt something.

He realized that the time had come for Hobart to make an appointment, and he immediately entered the hole of history.

At the moment when Klein disappeared, Gelman Sparrow's eyes, who were far away on Longtail Island, immediately brightened.

"You may be seated." Hobart knew that Klein's consciousness had already come over: "I have just 'tampered' and 'exploited' your historical projection.

"If there is no fighting, this historical projection can last for three hours."

He raised the "Lemanor's Magic Book" in his hand: "It also has the ability to summon historical projections twice, enough for you to stay here for a day." ”

Klein sat across from Hobert: "It shouldn't take that long." ”

Hobert poured him a cup of tea: "What do you want to talk to me about at the Tarot meeting before?" ”

Crane stretched out his hand to take the teacup and stopped, he suddenly didn't know how to speak, and paused for a full four or five seconds before he asked, "You...... Have you ever thought about going back after you came into this world? ”

Hobert said in his heart: Sure enough, I want to talk about it.

He replied, "Of course I thought, what's the matter, what's the problem?" ”

Klein organized the language and asked, "Then have you ever wondered why this world is so similar to the world before we traveled through time?" For example, a year is also 365 days, 24 hours a day......"

Hobert pretended to sigh, "You know the truth. ”

Klein was a little surprised: "You...... You've been aware of this for a long time? ”

"Nope." Hobart told the truth: "I only learned about this fact after I was promoted to angel, and thanks to your help. ”

"My help."

"Yes, you'll find out about that later." "So the thing you want to tell me is, this is Earth!" ”

Klein wanted to say something, but in the end all he left was a sigh: "Looks like you don't really want to go back." ”

Otherwise, I wouldn't have said this matter so blandly.

Klein's inner loss has always been hidden in his heart and has never been shown to anyone, but he has nothing to hide from Hobert.

Hobert smiled: "I know that feeling, like a wanderer who has been wandering for a long time, has been missing his hometown very much, and finally can go back one day, but his hometown has changed.

"The green mountains and green water in my memory are gone, the neighbor's little flower dog in my impression is gone, and the villagers have become strangers."

Klein took a sip of tea, leaned back in his chair, and said very calmly, "How did you spend that time mentally tormented?" ”

The fact that Klein hasn't shown these negative emotions all this time doesn't mean that he doesn't care about it.

He only has Hobart as a confidant, so only when he meets Hobert will he express his disappointment and helplessness.

Each of Hobart's descriptions hits Klein's heart, which makes him think that Hobert is also very upset because he can't return to his hometown.

Instead of answering Klein's question, Hobart said, "Let's go out for a walk." ”

Klein was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Hobart meant, but out of trust in Hobert, he immediately got up and followed.

By the time we arrived at Longtail Harbor, the port had become very lively, with bustling pedestrians greeting Hobart one after another, and some even offering Hobart what they had just gained.

It's the kind of offering that kneels on the ground and holds it in both hands.

After Herbert ordered them to stand up, he took their offering.

Walking down the main street, Hobart and Klein were carrying a large pile of tropical fruits such as coconuts, as well as seafood, such as sea fish, shrimp and crabs.

Hobart led the way, and the two of them came to a shade where no one was around, and Hobart handed Klein a mango: "Taste, this is a mango that has been improved by the Mother Earth God Church, not much silk, and it is still very sweet." ”

Klein took it in his hand, but did not eat it, he watched as Hobart waved his hand, and a gust of wind blew, and the surrounding dry wood blew to the two of them.

Hobert built a fire pit on the beach, then lit dry wood and began grilling fish.

He grabbed the sea, took a handful of salt from the sea, sprinkled it on the fish, and asked, "Do you think the people here are a little too enthusiastic?" ”

Klein took a deep breath: "It's because you have governed properly and protected their rights and interests. ”

Then he asked, "Is it because of the people's love for you that you have come out of your loss?" ”

"You misunderstood what I meant." Hobart smiled, "Most of the people in Longtail Harbor have only recently moved here, and they have one thing in common, there must be someone in the family who works as a street girl in Tutujia Harbor. ”

Klein was stunned, this was indeed something he hadn't expected.

"You may have heard that I recruited a group of street girls in Beckland, for which I have been subjected to a lot of abuse and criticism, and even for a time my butler, Mr. Dofis, stopped subscribing to the Beckland Times and the Rune Evening News." Hobert took a coconut and opened it with a slight twist.

He took a sip of coconut juice and said, "But every street girl here is grateful to me, and it is said that they no longer believe in gods, but want to make statues of me, and believe in me as a god."

"I seldom go to Tutuca, but Firth often tells me that she was stopped by the street girls in Tutuca, thanking her and tearfully telling her about her misery, and finally sending them their best wishes.

"About two months ago, the street girls used the money they earned to buy a house on Longwei Island and brought their families over.

"Compared to Beckland's East End, Longtail Harbor is paradise."

Klein smiled with some relief, "You are the god who can help these poor people." ”

"Poor God?"

The two smiled at each other, then laughed separately.

After a few laughs, Hobert said, "Don't feel like you don't belong in this world, we bring many, many positive things to this world."

"Like your trial of Kapin, like your help to the Freya family.

"You have been to this world, you have done something for this world, then your existence is meaningful to this world."

Klein was stunned for a few seconds before silently taking a bite of the mango in his hand: "It's so sweet!" ”

Hobert smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Friend, that's because you were bitter for too long before!" ”

Klein suddenly stopped chewing and took a deep breath before saying, "Thank you." ”

Hobert didn't say anything, but pulled out the grilled fish around the fire pit: "Eat it." ”

Klein tasted it: "It's delicious." ”

"Oh yes, the most high-end ingredients often only need the simplest way to cook them."

The two men looked at each other again and smiled.

Klein had an excellent appetite and ate three grilled fish in a row.

Hobert extinguished the fire pit and "sent" the remaining fruit and seafood back to the Doge's Mansion in a "twisted" manner, then took Crane to wander the fields and told him about his current policy on Longtail Island.

Many of the farmers working in the fields greet Hobart in Rune, and thanks to the influence of the "Shin Mountain God", they have now learned some of Rune's everyday language and are more in tune with modern habits.

Klein sighed: "In other words, you have moved all the systems of the East here? ”

"It's pretty much the same, but it's not the same." Hobert explained: "At that time, New China was poor and white, and it was still blocked and sanctioned, and the process of completing the primitive accumulation was very difficult.

"But I took advantage of the fact that the capitalists had not yet reacted, and reaped them fiercely, and then used the harvested wealth to quickly complete the primitive accumulation."

Klein smiled heartily, "This is the legendary God's perspective of the traverser. ”

He asked, "What are you going to do when you have completed the primitive accumulation?" Continue to develop in isolation, or do you have a five-year plan? ”

"In my opinion, capital is a force that can be harnessed." For the first time, Hobart also said some of his plans and policies for the future:

"Capital is more like an invisible potion that looks glamorous, it looks like it can make people rich and make civilization prosperous.

"But it's twisted and crazy on the inside, and the human world needs it, but wants to control it.

"The problem of the countries of the North Continent now is that they have allowed capital to develop savagely, so their societies look very deformed.

"But it is unrealistic to not need capital at all, this degree is difficult to control, for this, our country has made some attempts before, some have succeeded, some have failed.

"We've all been victimized by capital, but it's not completely out of control, and those attempts are invaluable to me.

"Also, in terms of the situation, it is very favorable for me now, and I can make a fortune through the furious sea, just like the United States did during the First World War.

"And artificially manufacturing talents and skilled workers moved south, taking the opportunity to complete industrialization."

"Sure enough, there are two sides to everything, and war is an opportunity for many people. ”

At this time, a group of Rune gentlemen came up on the ridge, and they raised their hands to greet Hobart when they were far away.

Klein learned through their courtesies with Hobart that these were some Rune Air Force officers who had been invited to visit Longtail Island.

One of them, Lord Lockle, said, "Grand Duke, this is the kingdom of God depicted in the Apocalypse of the Night!"

"There are no wealthy councillors, no nobles, no rich people, only peasants, workers and soldiers, but there is good order, and the people here are rich.

"Most of the officials here are the sons of peasants and workers, with only a few children of the nobility, but they are also approachable and even explain to the peasants how to dry their manure......

"No, they are no longer nobles, they have become one with this world, and they are competent officials."

Hobart smiled: "Yes, aristocrats are dispensable here, but when they are rich enough, there will definitely be some rich people here, but they don't want to do whatever they want." ”

The other officers were also very excited, as if they had seen the ideal country of their dreams.

At present, the northern countries are facing the problem of contradictions between the military and the aristocracy, and the nobles need soldiers to maintain their position, but they do not want to share too many benefits with the soldiers.

Lockel and the others also hated the nobles, but they had to support the nobles so that they could be the legitimate armed forces.

The relationship between the military and the civilian population and the relationship between the government and the military on Namisi Island opened their eyes to the fact that soldiers could help farmers harvest their crops when they put down their guns.

As a token of gratitude, the people would also send some produce to the soldiers, but the officers had orders not to take anything from the people.

Upon careful inquiry, they learned that the officers were the sons of farmers, shoemakers, and carpenters, and that their commander-in-chief, Schill, was said to have been a crew member of a cargo ship.

The soldiers, on the other hand, were basically the sons of miners and farmers, who were basically from Longtail Island and who until a year ago were slaves like cattle.

The concept of the Soldier shocked them! The officers who came to participate in the Long Tail Island were basically from middle-class families or slightly affluent families.

In the sneak attack on St. Millon, they would be sent to their deaths by the Air Force, precisely because they had no noble backing.

Now the nobles of Rune have no fiefdoms and no armies of their own, but their influence is reflected in all aspects of the countries of Rune.

They had been complaining that the top military officials were "hereditary", but they never thought that there was another way to go.

The military-civilian relationship on Longtail Island has allowed them to see another way out.

After receiving permission to return to Rune to publicize what they had seen and heard on Long Tail Island, Locker and the others happily bid farewell to Hobart and continued to visit Long Tail Island under the guidance of the foreign affairs staff of the Governor's Palace.

After they were far away, Klein smiled, "This reminds me of the Commonwealth and the Leading Party." ”

Hobert also smiled: "I remember that one of my teachers once said that the earliest leading party appeared in the Han Dynasty.

"At that time, the guides in the Han army were all Huns, and they were Huns who yearned for Han culture very much.

"As you said, things generally have two sides, and if the Belt and Road Party is so useful, why can't I use it?"

While talking and laughing, the two of them continued to walk in the fields, discussing topics that only the two of them could understand.

After Hobert summoned Crane's historical projection for the second time, he took Crane to Angelou.

It looks a bit noisy, the newly arrived migrants need to be resettled, and many grassroots officials are shouting hoarsely.

The walls of Angelou have been demolished, and the fortress is surrounded by a large construction site, where construction and restoration are taking place.

Hobart "twists" the space and takes Klein to a high mountain in the western part of the Saint-Nossay Basin, where Angelou is just a tiny dot.

"In the future, there will be 800,000 farmers who emigrated from Rune and about 300,000 urban people living in this basin, which seems to have little population at the moment!" Hobert sketched a blueprint for the future to Klein:

"The price of food in Beckland has risen again recently, and as the war progresses, there will be a considerable shortage of food in this cosmopolitan city.

"I have now had people buy grain in the Rorsted Islands and the Southern Continent, and then I can use it to attract some more immigrants.

"For his part, I welcome my current immigration policy, which these poor people see as a huge burden.

"And as the battle front of the Kingdom of Rune on the southern shore of the Sea is tightened, I have recruited a large number of skilled workers who are willing to bring their families to work in the southern continent in industrial cities such as Conston."

Hobert sighed: "This is the advantage of having room for immigration!" Can quickly replenish some of the population I need. ”

Klein sighed: "800,000! In that case, there would be no vagabonds in Beckland. ”

"No, there must still be!" Hobert said categorically: "It's just not as many as it is now." ”

Crane took a deep breath, "I've negligent of Rune's system. ”

Hobert touched on another topic: "The biggest headache for me now is the transformation of the indigenous people, which are rich in natural resources and suitable for crops to grow, but there is no decent country as in our time.

"The people here are short-sighted, which reminds me of the princes of Outer Mongolia in the early 20th century......

"Oh, sorry, after I recall some memories, I always like to use some historical events as analogies."

"It's okay." Klein smiled, "I'd love to hear about the past, too." ”

"Okay." Hobert said: "At that time, in order to drive away the Chinese army, the Mongol princes invited the Tsarist White Army to help.

As a result, the exploitation of Mongolia by the Tsarist White Army was too great, and the Mongol princes invited the Soviet Red Army.

"Yes, you heard it right, a group of princes and nobles invited the Red Army, and after the White Army was driven out, the Red Army tried and exterminated all the Mongolian nobles."

Klein laughed, "And this kind of thing? ”

"All I can say is that the world is so big." Then Hobert put away his smile: "The short-sightedness of a nation is a very terrible thing.

"The people here are very short-sighted, they are exploited, they are living in great difficulty, but no one stands up and says: We can't go on like this, or we will perish!"

Hobert said solemnly: "Since they don't have any plans for the future, I'll help them plan!"

"Spread our culture here, spread our values, and build this place into what our hometown looks like!

"In the future, when you feel homesick, come here to have a look."

Klein trembled a little with excitement, he took several deep breaths before calming his mood, and finally said with some trilling, "I also want to join your plan." ”

Hobert looked at the large plain under his feet: "I hope that in the future, on the territory of the Highland Kingdom, a large number of Church of the Fools churches will be built!" ”

"No problem." Realizing that he had lost his words, Crane explained, "I mean, I will report this to Mr. Fool seriously. ”

Hobert added: "This is also the idea of the 'founder', hoping to cooperate with Mr. Fool on a deeper level. ”

Klein bowed his head slowly, and he also very much agreed with this cooperation.

Hobart took a deep breath: "How's it going?" Are you feeling better? ”

"Much better!" Klein feels like he has another goal: to build a red utopia with Hobart!

"It's time for us to eat." Hobert smiled, "I had the kitchen make a couple of 'Indis-style' dishes that I magically modified. ”

Klein understood in seconds: "It's really exciting!" ”

The two of them returned to the gazebo in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion on Longtail Island, where Firth was already beckoning the servants to serve food.

The so-called "intis-style" dishes include salads with green onions, ginger, garlic and hot oil, but they also have another name called cold dishes.

On the hot island of Long Tail, it is very pleasant to drink beer and eat a few bites of cold food.

The second dish is a broth made with condiments such as chili peppers and peppercorns, and minced garlic poured with hot oil, although it also has another name for boiled pork slices.

The next dish is to hook the potatoes with sugar and vinegar and pour them on the fried fish, which is also called sweet and sour fish.

The fourth course is boiled tender chicken, cut into long strips, and then dipped in a sauce with vinegar, garlic, etc., and its other name is white cut chicken.

Hobert and Klein drank beer, ate familiar and unfamiliar delicacies, and chatted casually.

When all the dishes were served, Hobert asked the servants to leave the backyard again.

Forth knew that they were going to talk about something more secretive, and she was feeling this strange way of eating with all the dishes together, but she cheered up and straightened her back to listen.

Hobert first "tampered with" the propagation path of the surrounding sound waves before saying, "Yesterday I got a great piece of information from the 'Founder' about the Godforsaken Lands.

"Amon was in a place called Chernobyl, looking for some clues about his father."

"Chernobyl?" Crane couldn't help but glance at Furth, but then it occurred to her that even if she said the place name, she didn't know what it meant.

This reminded Crane of a time when he had died, and he saw the ancient sun god as if he had awakened from the ground in a dream divination, so he reconfirmed, "That's where the leak happened?" ”

Firth was originally surprised that this conversation actually involved Amon and the ancient sun god, and when she heard Mr. World's question, she was a little strange: leaked? What to reveal?

Hearing Klein's question, Hobart was slightly stunned at first, and then immediately realized that because the "Founder" quickly rescued Klein from Amon, Amon had not had time to tell him about Chernobyl.

He nodded and said, "That's the place." ”

Then He added, "According to the 'Founder,' it was in that place that the ancient sun god awoke!" ”

Folth suddenly felt the back of his head tingle: such high-level intelligence! Me, is it appropriate for me to sit here?

But having heard this, she didn't want to leave just like that, so she put the question she had just asked behind her and continued to listen to the conversation between the two people.

Klein was also very surprised, this matched his divination picture.

After a moment's thought, he said, "I'll explore there." ”

"Be careful." Hobert admonished, "There must be a doppelganger of Amon there, and maybe his essence is there." ”

Klein nodded, "I'll be careful." ”

After arriving in Chernobyl, he planned to first use his own prayer to himself and check it with his "true vision", and if Amon's body was there, he would definitely be able to detect it.

Then Klein asked, "When did the ancient sun god fall into a deep sleep?" ”

"I don't know." Hobert replied, "This is also a very strange place for me, and from such a place, could he have fallen into a deep sleep a long, long time ago?" ”

Klein pinched his chin: Once upon a time...... Age of A.D.! This coincides with my previous conjecture.

Previously, when Amon said that the ancient sun god described his abilities as "bugs", he guessed that the ancient sun god might be a "fellow countryman".

Originally, Hobart wanted to talk to Crane about the ancient sun god, but apparently Crane didn't know much about it, so he changed to another topic.

Klein didn't continue to talk about this issue, but just kept it in mind and waited to investigate Chernobyl before continuing to talk.

We talked until about two o'clock in the afternoon, when the summoning time for Crane's second historical projection was coming to an end, and he was full of food and drink, and he regained his confidence, and took his leave of Hobart.

The two shook hands and exchanged respects, and the next second Crane disappeared, leaving only a cloud of air in Hobert's hand.

This made Hobart suddenly feel a little stunned.

At the same time, in the "Godforsaken Land", Klein emerged from the hole in history.

He still carried the summoned lantern in his hand, and the light of the lantern shone on the ground around him, bringing a touch of light to the dim world.

Looking at the pitch-black space in front of him, Klein suddenly pursed his lips and smiled.

He kept going, but by this time his back was much taller and he looked much more determined.

……

December 1, the southwestern end of the Minorsk Mountains.

It is located on the southern shore of the Sea and belongs to the territory of Rune...... At least for now, it's part of Rune.

In the remnants of the Minnsk Mountains, there is a peak called Pendel Mountain, which is home to a famous winter resort with a huge ski slope and a seal fishing program, but you have to walk north by sleigh for more than an hour.

At this time of year, the hotel is already full of tourists, and horse-drawn carriages up and down the mountain are very lively.

This year, however, it was a bit deserted, with only a few keen skiers coming to stay as in previous years.

This is because the sound of gunfire from the front line can already be faintly heard in the hotel.

The managers and waiters lamented that those guests inevitably liked skiing too much, and the war was about to be fought here, and they could still come to ski! On the one hand, I was a little anxious, thinking about what would happen if the war spread to this hotel?

There were more than 20 of them, some of whom were familiar with each other, and they sat together for breakfast and chatted, while others sat alone in the corner to eat.

At about half past eight, they had breakfast and went to the ski slopes.

However, the ski resort did not receive any tourists.

If you follow their footprints, you will find that they have tacitly entered a path halfway through, and took out a stone key in front of a rock and twisted it against the mountain.

The cliff immediately becomes illusory, and you can step into the interior of the mountain.

There is a large space in the mountain, with stone chairs and stone tables, and the top of the space is a crystal that glows softly, making it look like a large conference room made of stone.

After the more than 20 tourists came here, they greeted each other first, and it turned out that they all knew each other.

For they had one thing in common: they all had the surname Solomon.

It's an annual gathering of the Solomon family, and in previous years they were inconspicuous in the skiing procession, but this year they are a bit conspicuous.

After more than half an hour of greetings, the conference room gradually quieted down, and everyone turned their attention to Buniel, a family member at the head of the long table.

This is the only demigod here, in previous years, the nominal patriarch of the family, Ryan Solomon, would appear after everyone had almost arrived, and sometimes the "King of the Five Seas" Nast would also attend the party, but this year they have not arrived.

Buniel, who looked to be in his fifties and dressed as a gentleman, said somewhat helplessly: "Last year we ended the party, and the patriarch said that he was going to Beckland, and I haven't heard from the patriarch for the whole year this year. ”

Thinking of the rumored news that Nast is dead, everyone has a bad premonition.

Boom~

At this time, there was a sudden muffled sound in the direction of the stone gate.

Everyone immediately got up, and Bunier was just about to beckon everyone to hide in the stone chamber further inside.

Crash~

The stone door had been knocked open by an external force, and the flying stones smashed into everyone, and two members with low sequences didn't have time to dodge, and were instantly killed by the stones.

Standing at the door was a middle-aged man with a very symmetrical body on the left and right sides, a sallow complexion, and a wax figure, who was none other than Tamara, who had been promoted to the "Prince of the Killing Order".

The members of Solomon's family were about to flee, but they were shocked by the great oppression from the angels of the same path, and knelt down towards Tamara.

Tamara said without any emotion: "Nast has been killed by me, and now I am here to receive the members of the Solomon family."

"You either join the Tamara family on your own initiative, or join in a way with extraordinary characteristics, take your pick."

The members of the Solomon family were silent.

"Looks like I'll have to help you choose." Suddenly Tamara raised his hand, and the air turned into a sharp sword, stabbing a family member to death: "He chose to join in with extraordinary characteristics. ”

At a time when several members of the Solomon family could not resist the pressure to join the Tamara family.

Tamara suddenly looked in the direction of the doorway.

At the broken stone door, a handsome and energetic young man wearing a black trench coat suddenly appeared, and he threw a stone key of the same style as a member of the Solomon family with one hand: "It seems that this key is not needed." ”

A sneer flashed across Tamara's face, this young man was none other than Hobert!
