Chapter 694: The Quest Assigned by the Goddess of the Night
At present, the three fronts of the Kingdom of Rune on land, the western front has been breached, and the northern front is still fighting a tug-of-war in industrial cities such as Conston, only the eastern front is as solid as a rock, and there is no sign of being captured so far.
This is inseparable from the fact that the headquarters of the Goddess of the Night Church is located in the Amanda Mountains on the Eastern Front, and the main force of the Church of the God of War is also here, and they have been trying to break through the Eastern Front, but they have been unsuccessful.
The extraordinary war between the two sides has always been fierce, with demigod battles taking place almost daily in the Amanda Mountains and mountain passes, and occasionally leading to a confrontation between the angels of the two sides.
Just now, some members of the military witnessed Leonid appearing at the Amanda Pass.
Hobert quickly got into the groove: "Let's go to the mountain pass and have a look. ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and used the power of "twisting", and the two of them entered the spirit world in an instant.
Bin was slightly stunned, curious about what kind of space magic this was?
Then he pondered for a while before thinking that this should be a demonstration of the ability of "lawyer" at the angel level.
In just a few seconds, the two of them had arrived at the Amanda Pass.
Bin said in his heart: faster than "travel".
Of course, fast, in Hobert's opinion, there are shortcuts everywhere in the spirit world.
Bing quickly calmed down and led Hobart to a military demigod.
"About half an hour ago, there was a lot of non-combat attrition in the eastern position, and after we went to find out the situation, based on the appearance and other information described by eyewitnesses, it was Leonid of the God of War Church who passed there and entered the Minsk Mountains." The demigod in military uniform reported succinctly.
Hobert was slightly stunned: "Was it an ordinary soldier who saw Leonid?" ”
"Yes."
Hobert asked again, "How are the soldiers doing?" ”
The demigod showed a helpless smile: "Half of the more than 600 people in the entire regiment have died, and the remaining half is better than dead." ”
The angels of the royal family of Rune are very busy, they have to constantly travel between the western and northern fronts, and the angels of the Church of the Goddess of the Night are also ready to confront the angels of the Church of the God of War, and they don't have time to care about the lives and deaths of these ordinary soldiers.
Hobert said, "Take me to see it." ”
The military demigod immediately said: "Yes! ”
As soon as the demigod pointed in the direction, Hobart "twisted" their position and came to a foul-smelling trench.
The soldiers in the trenches were all wailing and dying, either old and out of shape, covered in festering black tumors and bleeding pus that smelled of foul odor.
With a lift of his hand, Hobert "gifted" the aging and festering of their bodies from the effects of the power of dusk to the rocks and trees in the distance.
The trees turned yellow, and the rocks cracked in an instant.
The pain on the soldiers who had been waiting for death suddenly disappeared, and they couldn't believe it, and they touched their cheeks over and over again, and suddenly cheered.
The military demigods said to them, "Come and thank Archduke Hobert, who brought the special medicine to save you." ”
They had lied that the soldiers had been injured by some kind of poison gas.
Hobert smiled and waved his hand in response to the soldiers' thanks, then asked them about what they had just seen.
When the three of them returned to the headquarters, Hobart asked the military demigods: "Does Rune still have a stronghold or defensive line in the Minsk Mountains?" ”
The military demigod replied: "No, what we saw just now is already the easternmost position. ”
Hobert frowned: "Then it's strange, why would Leonid show the influence of the angelic level in front of ordinary soldiers?"
"It's like telling us that he went into the Minsk Mountains."
The military demigod was stunned for a moment before he said: "Grand Duke, you may not know much about it, if the angels and demigods on both sides have the opportunity, they will definitely pollute or influence ordinary soldiers, so as to weaken the strength of the other party." ”
He took a deep breath: "Now for both sides, soldiers are the most expensive strategic supplies. ”
The position needs soldiers to attack and garrison, and the weapons need soldiers to use, and now the training time of soldiers has been shortened to twenty days, but in the eyes of the higher-ups, it still takes a lot of time and materials to train a soldier who will not die immediately and inexplicably when sent to the battlefield.
Hobert was stunned for a second or two, and suddenly seemed to ask himself and the military demigods: "The war has come to this extent, what's the point?" ”
But He seems to be just asking that, and is not prepared to get an answer from here.
After sighing, Hobart said to the military demigods, "I see.
"In other words, Leonid does not need to pay special attention to this move."
Hobart was about to leave with Bing when the military demigod suddenly said, "Grand Duke, I've heard some remarks about Long Tail Island recently, those ...... Are those statements true? ”
"You can go to Locker in the Air Force." "He has a special pass that can take you to Long Tail Island, and you can visit it yourself," Hobert said. ”
The military demigod was slightly stunned before nodding: "Okay, I'll take a look." ”
Previously, because of the sneak attack on St. Millon, there was a group of "founder" believers led by Lockel in the air force, and later Hobert assisted in guarding the port of Priegas, and there was another group of "founder" believers in the navy.
Not long ago, Hobert had heard from Lockel that there were also a number of officers in the army who longed for the Duchy of South Bailang.
It is not difficult to understand that with a large number of soldiers killed, the officers will surely think about the meaning of this war, and then they will find that this war is meaningless!
If there is no propaganda for Longwei Island, they are still hesitating to find a way out, and now the "Longwei Island Model" provides them with a new idea, and they will certainly do their best to learn more about it.
Hobert left the position with Bing and quickly entered the Minsk Mountains.
It's off the beaten track, and in some places the snow and ice haven't melted yet.
Hobert stopped on a ridge and saw an endless primeval forest, with no sign of Leonid at all.
Just as Hobert was about to wait for the right moment again, he found a group of Rune soldiers in the valley, searching forward with great vigilance.
Hobert leads Bing to the front of them, creating the illusion of a chance encounter.
Of course, it sounds a little implausible to meet the Grand Duke of Rune and the Archbishop of the Church of the Goddess of the Night in such a place.
However, Hobart used the ability of "charm" to make them appreciate Hobert's kindness and did not notice the problem.
The group was led by a Captain named Egbert, a Sequence 7 "Interrogator" who looked to be in his twenties, strong, and full of leanness.
"I didn't expect to meet the Grand Duke and Mr. Bishop here." The young Egbert smiled and said, "With the blessing of the goddess, we will definitely be able to complete this operation smoothly." ”
Hobart twitched the corners of his mouth: "The goddess was once the "goddess of doom", and I doubt that she can bless "the successful completion of the mission".
Hobert looked at the other 12 members, they were all well equipped, and they all looked like veterans, the commander was talking to Hobert, they had been clearly guarding the surroundings, and there were three of them who were Sequence 9 and Sequence 8.
He asked, "What is your mission in the mountains?" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the soldiers again, and spiritually told him that something seemed to be wrong here, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Under the effect of "charm", Captain Egbert did not hide it, pointed to the top of the mountain over there and said: "There is a hidden watchtower over the two mountains, which is responsible for watching the situation in the sea, and then reports the information observed by telegram.
"This watchtower provides a lot of valuable information for the battlefield on the northern front, but about a month ago, the watchtower was discovered by the enemy, and after several rounds of fighting with the Fusaksaks, we finally abandoned it five days ago.
"But just two days ago, we received another distress signal from the watchtower.
"It's likely that in the previous battle, some soldiers were forced to hide in the forest, and now they don't know that we have abandoned there.
"After we sent the order to retreat by telegram, the distress signal came again, and we suspected that their telegraph machine might be broken and could not receive the telegram.
"So the command ordered 12 of us to go and fetch each other back."
Hobart sensed something was wrong, and he realized that there must be something wrong with the task.
He glanced at the young faces, and thought of the wailing soldiers he had seen in the trenches just now.
Hobert took a deep breath and said to Bin, "Let's accompany them to the watchtower first, and let me know as soon as there is any new sighting." ”
Generally, after there is a sighting report, it will be reported to the angels of the Goddess of the Night Church in a prayerful manner, and then the angels will notify the guests.
Bin was slightly stunned, but immediately nodded again: "Okay." ”
Hobart asked Captain Egbert, "What direction did you just say, in which direction is the watchtower?" ”
"Right in that direction." Egbert pointed out a direction: "To climb two peaks. ”
But Hobert smiled and said, "You remember wrong, look, isn't the watchtower right in front of us?" ”
He "distorted" the space around him, and the scene on either side of the group flashed backwards, and in an instant he "crossed" two peaks and came to a watchtower with obvious signs of fighting.
The soldiers were stunned, and Hobert had "tampered" with their thinking, making them feel that the process was very reasonable.
"That's fast." Egbert smiled slightly: "Originally, we planned to arrive here in the evening, but we didn't expect to arrive in the morning." ”
Hobert glanced at the watchtower and suddenly waved his hand there.
Bang bang bang~
Suddenly, several gunshots rang out in the watchtower, but the bullets fired from there, without exception, were "tampered with" and flew into the sky.
Egbert made a gesture, and he and his soldiers immediately assumed a fighting stance, and skilfully cooperated with each other to storm the watchtower.
Hobert didn't follow in, but looked around, it was on the downhill side, surrounded by dense woods, and it was really hard to spot here.
The watchtower is supposed to be a special color of the gray-green foliage around it, surrounded by several military tents under the trees, and a circular position.
Bin suddenly said, "Something is wrong here. ”
Hobert smiled, "You feel it too?" ”
At this point, the battle inside is over, and Hobert and Bing enter the watchtower.
Upon entering the tower, Hobert first saw a corpse dressed in the uniform of the Vorsack Empire.
Coming to the second floor, there were two Fursak soldiers crouching on the ground, holding their heads in their hands.
Not far from them, there was also the corpse of a soldier of the Fusak Empire.
Captain Egbert was interrogating the prisoners: "Ask them what is their mission?" ”
There was a soldier who knew the Fursak language, stumbling to translate.
When two soldiers heard that someone understood the Fursak, they immediately shouted the same phrase loudly.
Seeing that the interpreter was stunned, Egbert asked, "What are they talking about?" ”
They said...... Say that there are evil spirits among us, and let us get out of here. The interpreter was a little surprised.
Egbert sneered, "That's right, I'm the devil of the Fursaks. ”
With that, he picked up his rifle and shot another of the Fursack captives, blood spraying the other in the face.
The captain said, "Again, what is their mission?" ”
The last captive watched his companion die in front of him, stunned for a moment, and began to describe their mission.
It turned out that the Vrsak army had also received a distress signal from here, and they thought it was sent by the survivors who had been sent to attack here, so they sent a small force to rescue them.
But after coming here, many comrades-in-arms disappeared inexplicably.
Just as they were about to evacuate, they were confronted by Egbert's team.
Egbert nodded in satisfaction, another soldier locked the prisoner in the room downstairs, ordered two more soldiers to dispose of the body, and finally ordered three soldiers to search the watchtower and the surrounding positions in a triangular formation.
Hobart just watched quietly, not intending to be involved the whole time.
When the order was given, Egbert smiled and said to Hobert: "Grand Duke, the disappearance of these Fusak soldiers must have been done by their comrades hiding in the woods.
"We're going to take a break, and we're going to split into three squads and go around......"
"Ah~"
Suddenly, an oozing scream came from upstairs, interrupting Egbert's words.
Egbert drew his pistol and rushed upstairs, he was slightly stunned when he saw the scene upstairs, he was obviously the first to rush up, but Archduke Hobert and Bishop Guest were already checking the warrior who was rolling on the ground.
He was stunned for a full second before he remembered to look downstairs, and downstairs were the other soldiers who had come to check on the situation, and there was no shadow of the Duke and the Bishop.
Egbert let out a long sigh of relief, it would be terrifying if there was a duke and a bishop down there.
In front of Hobert, the soldier who was rolling in pain was one of the three people who had just carried out the search mission.
The other two men were helpless with their guns on their faces, and in front of them, there was a large military telescope with a stand.
After a brief examination, Hobert decided that the anguished soldier had been cursed, and he said to the soldiers who rushed over, "Get out of the way!" ”
With this, he made a pull gesture at the soldier and "gifted" the curse on him to a tree outside.
The tree trembled violently and made a painful "creaking" sound.
With a snap of his fingers, Hobert "tampered with" the ignition point of hydrogen around the tree, allowing the fire to envelop the tree in an instant, ending its pain.
The soldier lying on the ground seemed to be the rest of his life, his eyes straightened, and he kept gasping.
Hobart asked the other two soldiers, "What just happened?" ”
One soldier said, "Bob just looked out with a telescope and suddenly fell to the ground and screamed." ”
Bob was referring to the soldier who had just been cursed.
Hobart got up and looked outside, the third floor of the watchtower was a semi-open structure, which was about as tall as the tall canopy, but because it was on a downhill side, the ground in front of it was low, and the line of sight in the direction of the sea was unobstructed.
The Minlminsk Mountains run from east to west, and this is already the northernmost point of the range, and at the foot of this watchtower is the sparkling sea.
With Hobert's eye, you can see the end of the Sea from here, where there are many military supply ships of the Fusak Empire that travel to and from the north and south shores of the Sea.
And on the entire hillside, the dense woods can be seen.
If you ignore the curse just now, it's a beautiful sight.
By this time the soldier named Bob had recovered from his recovery, and Egbert asked him, "What did you just see?" ”
"Didn't see anything." Bob was apprehensive.
Egbert frowned: "Didn't see anything?" ”
"Yes, it's darkness." "It's like the telescope is obscured by something," Bob said. ”
"Covered?" A soldier was going to look at the telescope, because there was no obscuration in front of the telescope.
"Don't go over!" Hobert and Egbert reminded at the same time.
Then the two men glanced at each other, but their gazes quickly staggered.
Egbert cleared his throat and said, "No one should approach the telescope, there ......"
As he was saying this, he saw Hobert take a step forward to the telescope, and then picked it up and looked out.
It was happening so fast that it was too late for Egbert to stop it.
But Hobert was not cursed like Bob, but looked at it very calmly for a while, and then looked ahead again.
The sun is shining in front of you, and the lake looks sparkling in the sun.
In the telescope, it was pitch black and there was nothing.
After confirming what he was seeing, Hobert made sure that there was no lid on the front of the telescope, and then leaned over the telescope again, and it was still pitch black before him.
He was about to look away, when suddenly a pair of eyes appeared in the darkness, staring at Hobert.
Hobert immediately felt the pollution and the curse, but he didn't take it to heart, because he had been very cautious since the beginning, gathering a thin film of "order crystals" in front of him.
All extraordinary attacks are blocked by the "Order Crystal".
Those eyes looked at Hobart for about a second or two, and after probably realizing that Hobart could not be harmed, they disappeared into the darkness.
Hobert looked away and looked at the telescope again.
That darkness doesn't have to be in front of a telescope, it could be in an unknown space.
There is a certain connection between this telescope and the darkness, so you can use this telescope to see the dark scene in which you don't know where it is.
Hobert pondered for a moment before he said to Egbert, "You're right, no one should approach this telescope...... Well, no one should come to the third floor. ”
After everyone returned to the second floor, Hobart sat in his chair and watched as Egbert began to dispatch soldiers to search around.
After the soldiers had left, Bin whispered, "Something is wrong with this group of soldiers." ”
"Something must be wrong." Hobart smiled, "If it's just to pick up a few soldiers who have gone away, will a Captain of the Extraordinary be dispatched?" ”
Bin said, "Shall we go back now?" After all, we still have business to do. ”
Hobert shook his head: "I didn't even notice the curse just now. ”
Bin was stunned, not quite understanding what it meant.
"Leonid didn't leave the Minsk Mountains, he probably wasn't far from this watchtower," Hobert said. ”
As an angel, his spirit was unaware of the curse, which is enough to show that the curse is not simple.
In the Minsk Mountains, Hobert's known opponent is only Leonid, an angel, who believes that what happened in this watchtower may have something to do with Leonid.
Bing was surprised by this conclusion, but seeing that Hobert did not seem to be joking, he chose to trust the angel's judgment.
Hobert said to Bin again, "You are on guard, and I will use some special means to see if I can find the source of that curse." ”
Bing nodded, keeping his surroundings on guard as Hobert had instructed.
Hobert lowered his head and pretended to be concentrating on his thoughts, while the spirit entered the "Land of Disorder", sitting on the "Iron Throne" and looking around with "true vision".
Under the "real vision", sure enough, I saw a faint green mist in the forest around the watchtower.
These fogs don't seem to be too dangerous, but they can obscure the "real vision"! It also blocks spirituality as an angel to a certain extent.
Hobart realized that unless it was his own danger, he might not be able to foresee it.
He was about to withdraw his gaze, but suddenly he realized that something was wrong, and there seemed to be a strange aura spreading around him.
Suddenly, he saw the corpses of several Fusak soldiers crawling out of the tent not far away, covered in soil and showing a slight sign of decomposition on their faces.
The Rune soldiers should have searched those tents just now, didn't they find these corpses?
Hobert waited for a while and found that the corpses were targeted by the watchtower.
The soldiers guarding the captives downstairs had noticed the anomaly and were shooting outside with some hastiness.
Hobert had just returned to the real world, and by this time Bin had already noticed something unusual, and went to the window and waved his hand downward, and the corpses of the Fursack soldiers were "requiemed" and fell to the ground.
Hobart got up and glanced at the corpse downstairs: "I didn't feel the power of the 'Grim Reaper' path. ”
Bing frowned and said, "Me too." ”
Because of the gunshots, the team that had gone out to explore soon returned.
After Egbert learned about the situation, he ordered everyone to go back to the second floor first.
"Over there...... There's a corpse over there! At this time, the last soldier who returned ran back in horror and shouted.
Egbert said with a gloomy face, "Let's go upstairs first." ”
Upstairs, everyone did not shy away from Hobert and Bing, and began to discuss the problems they were facing.
Egbert did not ask about the corpse first, but first asked the soldier who returned to the group last: "Didn't I order you to never be separated?" Why did you leave the search team? ”
The soldier cried and said, "I, I just went to the toilet and found that Bruce and Zac were gone."
"I hurried to follow the footprints, but ...... But in a place where the ice and snow had not melted, I found three rows of footprints in front of me.
"I wondered why there were three rows of footprints.
After running a few steps, I finally found three men in Rune's uniform, and after catching up, I cursed them twice, asking them why they didn't wait for me.
But they didn't seem to hear me, and searched for it in earnest, and I went up and tapped one of them on the shoulder before I realized something was wrong.
"His shoulders were cold, it was bone-chilling!
"The soldier turned back slowly, it was a stranger, and the other two people also looked back at me, they were also strangers!"
Speaking of which, the last soldiers to return to the team still had a palpitating look on their faces, while the other soldiers also felt the illusion of a chill on their backs, and unconsciously approached each other.
The soldier who returned at the end took a deep breath before continuing: "Their faces are covered with frost, their eyes are full of whites, and their cheeks are somewhat rotten!
"They...... They opened their mouths together and said a word to me together......"
At this point, the soldier suddenly paused.
Egbert hurriedly asked, "What did you say?" ”
"They ......" the soldier's tone suddenly became something wrong, as if it had suddenly become very lofty: "They asked: Why are you going to war?" ”
Syllable~
After saying this, the soldier exploded like a rotten tomato that had been pinched.
Everyone was frightened by this scene and retreated, but they soon realized that there seemed to be a transparent barrier in front of them, blocking the pale green flesh.
Egbert glanced at Archduke Hobert behind him, and saw that he was raising his hand slightly at this time, and he suddenly understood that it was the Duke who protected them, and there was obviously something wrong with those pale green flesh.
Everyone slowed down for two seconds before accepting the fact that a comrade had died, and the expressions on everyone's faces became very solemn.
Egbert took a deep breath before saying, "Don't touch any of the flesh, Bob, go find some kerosene and burn it." ”
"Yes." Bob immediately went in search of kerosene.
Egbert went to interrogate the other two subordinates: "Bruce, Sark, you didn't even find out that you lost a comrade-in-arms?" ”
Bruce took a deep breath of fear before saying, "No, Captain, Sack and I always thought it was three people working together. ”
The back of Sark's head tingled: "Yes Boss, we've always been three people acting together. ”
Egbert asked, "Who is the third man?" ”
"Yes......" Both soldiers fell into a state of confusion, and they found that no matter how much they thought about it, they could not remember who the third person was.
At this time, Bob found kerosene, sprinkled it on the ground and set it on fire.
Hobert flipped his hand and "twisted" the flesh and flames on the ground to the ground outside.
Egbert suddenly realized that the flesh, if burned, could form some harmful gases.
Then he thought: Why didn't I think of such a simple question?
"Guys, I think it's time for us to talk." Hobart suddenly said, "You still have some special tasks, right?" ”
Egbert stopped talking.
Hobert and Egbert looked at each other: "Just say it, I will help you avoid the ability to keep secrets." ”
"Yes." Egbert said cautiously: "We do have a special investigative mission.
"During the battle for this watchtower, an officer was seriously wounded and returned alive, and he told everyone that the Vrsacks had unleashed a demon here......"
Egbert discovered that he could actually speak fluently about the secret mission they were carrying out, which gave him a new understanding of the level of Archduke Hobert.
Hobart asked, "Is this a metaphor, or is it a real 'demon'?" ”
"It's a metaphor!" Egbert, who apparently knew what the real demon was, continued: "We did receive a telegram.
"The other party said that he was a survivor of the previous battle, but he was seriously injured and could not go back, so he asked for support.
He also said that he knew the true face of the demon, that it was the key to defeating the Fursaks, and that we should send someone for it.
"In order to prevent the trap of the Fursaks, we have only sent a small force to explore.
"It would be great if there was a clue to defeat the enemy, but if it was really a trap for the Fursaks, it would be easy for small forces to break through.
"By interrogating the captive just now, I even concluded that there was a clue to victory over the enemy."
Hobert bowed his head slowly, the captives had just said that they had also received a distress signal, but the team members had disappeared inexplicably after they came.
It sounds like the Vorsack Empire has unleashed some terrifying power here, but this terrifying power has been controlled by the wounded Rune soldiers.
So the Rune soldiers used that force to attack the Fusak soldiers who had occupied the place, sent a distress signal to their own side, and attacked the reinforcements of Fusak.
That's why Egbert couldn't wait to search around, hoping to find the wounded Rune soldier as soon as possible.
However, Bob's curse, and the tragic death of the soldier just now, there may not be any "wounded Rune soldiers" here, and it was the force that deceived the Fusak reinforcements and the Rune reinforcements.
After listening to Egbert's description, Hobart said, "I think we should call the captive up and re-examine him." ”
Egbert nodded, and two soldiers pressed the captives up.
Once again, Hobart used his "seduction" ability to make the Fursack captive feel favorably with Hobert before he asked, "What did the Fursacks release here?" ”
"Nothing was released!" The captive said after hearing the interpreter's words.
Egbert and the others looked at each other, and at this time they realized that both the Rune army and the Fusak army had been deceived by that strange force.
Hobert bowed his head slowly, and then asked, "Then why are you supporting here?" ”
This time the captives told the truth: "Our men, having completely occupied this place five days ago, would have wanted to blow up the watchtower to avoid being used by the Rune again.
"But the soldiers of one of the companies that occupied the place suddenly seemed to be missing, and did not report whether they had blown up the tower or not, nor did they return to the team.
"Just the day before yesterday, we suddenly received a distress signal that a soldier had seen something he shouldn't be looking at with a telescope on the third floor and needed support from a special investigation team.
"So our team came here, but they were only stationed here for one night, and there were only four people left in the 15-person team."
Hobart asked, "How did they die?" ”
The captive was suddenly stunned: "They ...... Some of them are long dead. ”
Hobert's brows furrowed, and he was about to continue the interrogation, when the captives suddenly arrived again: "By the way, that person asked me to ask you: Why did you start a war?" ”
Syllable~
As before, the captive exploded like a rotten tomato that had been pinched and exploded.
This time Hobert was clearly mentally prepared, but he found that the power that caused the captive's death had no warning! I still can't save him!
The atmosphere in the room became more solemn, and with a slight lift of his hand, the pale green flesh on the ground was "twisted" to the pile of unburned flesh outside.
Under Hobert's "tampering", the flames on the ground outside also began to burn the flesh of the captives.
Then He said to Egbert, "I suppose your mission should be over, go back and tell your sir, that Archduke Hobert is too late to prevent their tragic death, and I don't think your sir. ”
Egbert was slightly stunned: "We ......"
"Yes," said Hobert, "if your mission continues, you will surely die a terrible death." ”
He said to the guest, "You also go away with them." ”
Bin was slightly stunned, but immediately said, "Okay." ”
Hobert glanced at the people in the room, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, 1 archbishop, 1 captain, 11 soldiers, everyone is ready, I will send you ......"
"Wait a minute!" Egbert suddenly said solemnly: "Grand Duke, are you mistaken, when we came, there were 12 people, and 1 died just now, plus I only have 11 people!" ”
Hobert was slightly stunned, and suddenly understood why he felt that something was wrong when he first met this team.
At that time, it was clear that Egbert had 12 subordinates, and 13 people with the captain's words.
However, Egbert said that "the command ordered 12 of us to go and fetch each other back", that is, in their understanding, there have always been 12 people, but there are 13 people in this team!
After being stunned for a moment, Hobert suddenly smiled: "Things are really getting more and more interesting." ”
He said to him, "You come behind me." ”
The archbishop was a little frightened at this time, and hurried behind Hobert, and he said to himself: I can't let them go! Who knows what one will bring back?
Egbert and the others were suddenly full of distrust of the people around them, and unconsciously distanced themselves.
Hobert said to them, "Don't panic, I'll ask the power of the Goddess of the Night to help us tell which one is the extra one!"
"Everybody watch to see if anyone is breaking the ceremony? See if anyone wants to leave suddenly! ”
Without giving everyone a chance to object, Hobert immediately "tampered" with force and air to "fix" all 12 people in place.
Then, at His signal, he asked the guest to bring a table and set the candles.
Hobert began to chant, "The goddess of the night, exalted above the stars, older than eternity......
"I have a problem completing your task and would like to ask for your communication and help.
"May I ask if what happened on this watchtower has anything to do with my mission?"
A quiet force descended on the watchtower, and some of the restless soldiers were at peace with it.
In a corner not far away, half a bottle of red wine suddenly flew to the table, and was uncorked and fell, and the red wine flowed out, forming letters, and finally spelling out one word: yes.
Hober nodded, his hunch was correct.
Then he wondered a little as to why the Goddess of the Night was communicating with her in such a way.
Obviously, in the previous communication, the goddess of the night was already able to talk to him.
After thinking about it for a while, Hobart realized that the Goddess of the Night was doing it for others, maybe for Bin or for this group of soldiers.
Of course, it is more likely to show Leonid, who is most likely hiding in the shadows, to make this "Glory" realize that the goddess of the night is currently concentrating on "doing more important things", and even such an important communication can only project a small amount of power here.
Hobert asked, "Where is that telescope connected?" ”
The red wine on the table was transformed again, and another word was formed: starry sky.
Then more red wine poured out, forming a sentence: the seal had found the right time, and suddenly lost effective control, which eventually led to this crisis.
At this time, Hobert realized that his task was not only to snatch the seal, but also to resolve the crisis.
He added: "Help me to identify which of them is the culprit of this crisis." ”
After a pause of two or three seconds, the wine moved again: there was a way to tell the difference, and they had to name and date of birth in turn.
It occurred to Hobart that the "true vision" of the "founder" would be obscured by the pale green mist, and the vision of the goddess of the night might not be able to directly see who was in trouble.
And even if she can see it, the goddess of the night has to pretend not to see much at this time.
However, the true God is not the same as the false God, and even if He does not directly explain who has the problem, there are some other ways to get the solution to the problem.
This reminder from the Goddess of the Night made Hobert's mind suddenly clear that in the occult, a person's name and time of birth are closely related to the spirit world.
Think of these two pieces of information as someone's "file number" in the spiritual realm.
In general divination, it is to use these two pieces of information to "check the files" in the spiritual world, and in the divination, it is a little more complicated divination, such as astrolabe divination, dream divination, etc., birthdays and names are very important information.
But if there is a problem with one of them, there must be a problem with his connection to the spirit world!
Then when he says his name and birthday, he will automatically restore a lot of tampered information in the spirit world, and it is likely to find clues to break the game.
So, after thanking the goddess of the night and tidying up the altar, Hobert said to the 12 soldiers, "Clearly state your names and dates of birth in turn!" Start on the left! ”
At the same time, Hobert used the ability of "association" to pay close attention to their connection with the spirit world.
The first soldier said, "Bruce Weir, born on February 28, 1329. ”
Before Hobert could say anything, Bob said in horror, "You...... Bruce is dead, two months ago! ”
