As the "Creator," He must always show His majesty and mystery, but as the "Favored One of God," He must, of course, win over the elites of the Balk family.
Adding up to only 360 pounds, it greatly increased the elites' goodwill towards the "Favored One of God." Hobert felt that the money was well spent.
While Elliott and the others were out shopping, Hobert chatted with Upton about his experience in this training session.
Upton, smoking a cigarette and wearing a vest, looked very casual, and praised the young people of the Balk family. They were able to endure hardship and were patient, far more outstanding than the young people of some large families in Loen.
Finally, Upton asked: "The power of the great 'Creator' seems to be mainly in the Southern Continent? Do you need me to develop business in the Southern Continent?"
"There are also some forces in the Northern Continent." Hobert smiled and said, "It's just that you don't know it. Someday I'll invite you to the Kingdom of Feynapotter to vacation and let you see the power of the 'Creator' in the Northern Continent."
Upton thought of Hobert's previous visit to Conant City to find reinforcements, and he nodded: "It's really exciting!"
"As for the high-end steam engines you sell, it's very difficult to leave the port through normal channels." Hobert said, "Please ask the 'Creator' to help transport them to the Southern Continent."
The two also talked about the previous raid on the "Judgment Group." Upton told Hobert: "After that, I seemed to be under short-term surveillance, but my suspicion should have been quickly ruled out. For more than a month, I haven't felt any new surveillance."
Hobert nodded slightly, muttering "What a pity" in his heart. He is now a demigod and can completely beat the "Judgment Group." If there are any clues, he doesn't mind earning some extra money.
After the students returned from shopping, Upton treated everyone to a big meal. It wasn't until the evening that Hobert used the "Traveler's Gate" to send everyone back to the Southern Continent.
They had long been holding back a lot of experiences and wanted to go back and brag about it!
Having close contact with the "Favored One of God" was secondary. The key was that they participated in the battle of the Favored Ones in the Northern Continent and learned that there were so many Favored Ones of the "Creator" in the distant Northern Continent.
This made them feel like "We are not alone."
Lawrence reported to the "Favored One of God" on the progress of the work in the Southern Continent recently. The first batch of 6 factories is about to be completed. After this group of professional talents in the family returns after training, they plan to start training workers, purchasing machines, and trying to produce.
Finally, the tall Lawrence paid Hobert for the learning expenses and the money for the permanent Loen language charm, totaling about 4,000 pounds of gold.
Next is the issue of purchasing machines. Hobert asked the Balk family to discuss which machines they needed first, and then just send him a letter to place an order.
… …
In the afternoon, Backlund, outside the train station.
Fors wore a yellow knee-length dress and a hat sewn with blue flowers, waiting for Dorian Gray teacher at the door.
The weather today, like the past few days, was drizzling, and the occasional breeze made her shiver.
This made Fors sigh: Jeffrey Town is still good, where the sun is bright and it is already early summer. The key is that the sun is very warm during the day, and I can sit under the sun for a whole afternoon!
Finally, a figure of medium build, wearing the most popular black suit in Loen and a silk top hat, appeared in sight. It was Dorian Gray!
Fors immediately held up an umbrella to greet him, but as soon as she took a step, Fors saw the teacher raise his left hand into a fist and press it against the first button of his suit.
This is… danger! Fors moved her gaze away with an unchanged expression, looking at a young man behind her, naturally passing Dorian Gray.
Dorian Gray had agreed with Fors in previous letters on the code words and gestures in case of emergency. The meaning of the action just now was very simple, which was to tell Fors not to approach him.
The young man behind Dorian Gray was a little dazed by the lazy and beautiful Fors, and instinctively tidied up his clothes and pressed his hat.
As soon as he finished these actions, Fors had passed him and continued to move forward.
The young man shook his head with a smile, feeling somewhat lost in his heart.
Fors wandered around nearby, boarded a rental carriage, and went straight to the Hat Tricks Inn at 22 Hope Street, Cherwood Borough.
She arrived at the inn before Dorian Gray and asked for a room facing the street.
Hiding behind the curtains, Fors saw Dorian Gray, after getting off the carriage, first make a gesture of opening his five fingers and pressing them on the second button of his suit.
Fors breathed a sigh of relief, which meant the crisis was over.
If the crisis had not been resolved at this time, Fors would have prepared to use the messenger to ask Hobert for help.
After waiting for more than twenty minutes, Fors knocked on the door of the room that Dorian Gray had booked in advance and flashed into the room.
She asked with some worry and concern: "Teacher, what was the problem just now?"
Dorian Gray closed the door and smiled with a bitter expression: "I saw an acquaintance."
He sighed: "To be precise, it's an enemy!"
Fors asked curiously: "What did he do? Is he very powerful?"
Dorian Gray was silent for a few seconds: "I briefly mentioned to you before the organization I was in. This organization suffered a serious blow due to the betrayal of some people. That was one of the traitors just now."
He didn't mention the family, nor the conflict between family members and students, so as not to cause Fors to have unnecessary associations.
In fact, Fors already basically knew these things: "These traitors are really hateful!"
"Okay, let's not talk about these unpleasant things." Dorian Gray first took out an iron box, which contained a crystal clear crystal, which was another ingredient of the "Astrologer": "I didn't expect you to find another ingredient so quickly."
Fors told the truth: "Thanks to my husband."
She took the material: "Thank you, teacher."
"Your promotion so quickly is the best thanks." Dorian Gray smiled and took out a piece of parchment folded several times from his clothes: "This is the potion formula for 'Scribe'. Your digestion of 'Magician' and 'Apprentice' has exceeded my expectations. This is my biggest surprise in the last ten years."
Fors did not hide anything: "I made a special trip to the circus."
Dorian Gray nodded with relief: "I'm sorry, because of the previous losses, I don't have the main material for the 'Scribe' potion here for the time being. You need to find it yourself.
"However, I have prepared a gift for you."
As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized notebook from his large pocket. Its cover looked very hard and was copper-green in color, looking very old.
This notebook is composed of three kinds of paper, one is tan, rare in quantity, one is yellowish-brown, like parchment, about ten sheets, and the other is ordinary white paper.
On the cover, there is a line of ancient Feysac words written: I came, I saw, I record.
"This is a pretty good magical item." Dorian Gray introduced, "Because its negative effects are easy to avoid."
Fors could hardly suppress her excitement: "What's it called? What are the negative effects?"
Dorian Gray stroked the cover of the notebook: "It's called 'Leymano's Travels,' but I prefer to call it 'Leymano's Magic Book.'
"This 'Magic Book' allows you to record a certain Beyonder power when you see it, and save it on one of the pages of the notebook.
"But you must remember that after using it once, the corresponding page will become blank again, waiting for you to record again."
He handed the "Magic Book" to Fors while explaining in more detail: "It corresponds to the 'Scribe' of our 'Apprentice' pathway. Beyonder abilities higher than Sequence 6 have a probability of failure when recording.
"According to the experience of previous users, the success rate of Sequence 5 Beyonder abilities is not low, but it is quite difficult for Sequence 4. It may not succeed even once in ten times.
"And I think no demigod will show you again and again. If it were an enemy, he would have killed you ten times.
"The tan paper is specially used to record Beyonder abilities with divinity, and there are only three sheets in total."
Fors was slightly stunned: Uh, I really have such an opportunity. Hobert has just been promoted to demigod, and I can do an experiment with him tonight.
Dorian didn't notice Fors's distraction. He began to describe the negative effects of the "Magic Book": "Its negative effect is: every time you use it, it will make you get lost, the kind of getting lost where you encounter various dangers. You must draw your own blood and apply it evenly on the cover to eliminate this effect.
Remember, don't underestimate that kind of getting lost; you must deal with it as soon as possible."
"Yes, Teacher," Fors responded seriously.
Looking at the notebook in her hand, Fors suddenly felt that she should do something for her teacher: "What's the name of the traitor? What does he look like?
If there's a chance, I want to avenge you and your organization."
"No, don't think about such things!" Dorian said solemnly, "I know that Hobert is likely a Sequence 5, but you two are still unlikely to catch a 'Traveler'!
The key is that the other party has joined a very evil organization called the Aurora Order. If your raid fails to kill him, it will definitely bring you great danger!"
Fors almost blurted out that Hobert had already advanced to a demigod, but thinking that Hobert had said to keep it secret for the time being, she didn't say anything more.
Dorian thought for a moment and then said, "But you do need to know him to avoid him. His name is Lewis Wien. I'll draw his appearance for you later."
"Okay," Fors said, "I promise to avoid him!"
… …
No. 62 Empress Borough, in the bedroom of Earl Jeffery's mansion.
Crack ~
Sitting at his desk, Hobert crisply bit into an apple, looking at the portrait in his hand. His cheeks were thin, and there was some gloom between his eyebrows, like an addict.
Putting down the portrait, Hobert said, "This guy doesn't look like a good person at all!"
Standing behind Hobert, Fors, leaning on his back, said, "He's indeed not a good person. He's a traitor to the Abraham family."
She said, "Today, Teacher Dorian gave me a gift. I really want to kill this traitor as a thank you to Teacher Dorian."
Hobert smelled the fragrance emanating from Fors: "Leave it to me! I'll find a chance to kill him for you. That way, you'll have the characteristic for your Sequence 5 advancement."
He handed the apple in his hand to Fors, letting her take a bite as well.
The hardest part is finding the other party's whereabouts, but Hobert remembered that the other party came to Backlund afterward.
Fors chewed on the apple and said, "Teacher Dorian said he's very strong and has also joined an evil Beyonder organization."
"Am I not strong?" Hobert smiled.
Fors hugged Hobert and smiled with some pride, "Of course not!"
Hobert then asked knowingly, "What organization did he join?"
"The Aurora Order!"
"To be honest, I've been cracking down on such evil organizations since Sequence 9, no, since I was 9 years old. There's no way around it, your husband is just that righteous!" Hobert suddenly thought of Audrey, but his thoughts immediately returned.
Fors kissed Hobert's cheek: "Hobert, you're so good."
Hobert pinched her little nose, put the apple core into a special metal plate, and then wiped his hands with a wet towel that the servant had prepared in advance: "Does Dorian have any 'Scribe' characteristic or Beyonder materials there?"
"He said that because of the previous losses, he can't provide me with 'Scribe' Beyonder ingredients."
"I have some there," Hobert said, "Just focus on digesting the potion as soon as possible, and advance immediately after you've completed the digestion."
Fors nodded, suddenly feeling that it was so good to have someone to rely on.
"Oh, right," Hobert remembered, "Accompany me to visit a few of Father's old friends tomorrow."
"No problem, do I need to wear formal attire?"
"No, it's not too formal a visit." Hobert looked at the grandfather clock in the corner: "Heavens, is it already 11 o'clock at night? Isn't it time for the anticipated 'dance' again?"
… …
The next morning, a little after eight o'clock, the well-dressed Hobert and his wife took the Earl's carriage to the Cherwood Borough first.
Hobert visited Barrister Barton at the "Aslan-Barton" Law Firm. Strictly speaking, this was Hobert's first mentor when he entered society.
Dophis had already prepared products from Feynapotter as gifts. Of course, these products were bought from the Feynapotter section of the Backlund gift shop. To this, Dophis said that he was very familiar with such operations.
The two had a pleasant conversation and also confirmed the cooperation that Hobert would often send lawyers for training in the future.
Around nine o'clock, Hobert and Fors bid farewell and came to 1899 Nikolaus Street together to visit Mr. Dicos.
Hobert had also sent Mr. Dicos a wedding invitation before, but Dicos was on a business trip to Constant, south of the Inland Sea, at the time. Because he hadn't sent Mr. Dicos a letter before, the messenger didn't mark him and could only send it to Nikolaus Street according to the address.
As a result, Dicos missed Hobert's wedding and heard that he had been regretting it for a long time. This time, he warmly entertained Hobert and his wife.
This former adjutant saw Hobert and Fors visiting him together and was very gratified. Because Dophis had sent a letter of visit two days ago, Dicos was prepared and gave Fors several very expensive gifts.
Hobert only took two items and didn't let this elder spend too much.
In addition to the three of them, there was also a young man in his twenties with slightly upturned eyes and beautiful eyes, pouring tea for the guests.
He was Dicos's youngest son. He didn't expect that the recently famous Earl Hobert actually had a deep friendship with his father, and he actually treated himself as a junior in front of his father.
After chatting for a while, Dicos asked, "What are your plans after returning to Backlund?"
"I plan to reshape the current electricity industry!" Hobert didn't hide his thoughts these days.
Dicos was a little surprised: "This market is very niche."
"That's because everyone hasn't used electricity in the right places." Hobert smiled: "I plan to ask scientists to do some technological research to develop this industry in the direction I need."
Dicos nodded slightly: "You are like your father, making people unable to see through you."
He pointed to his youngest son and said, "I've introduced him just now, this is Todd.
"I think the career you are going to carry out should need someone to run errands. He has been with me since he was a child, is very familiar with Backlund, and also understands the commercial structure of the entire Northern Continent.
"Let him be a helper for you."
Hobert smiled: "That's great! I'm currently lacking trustworthy people around me.
"I just don't know if Todd is willing to go to my place?"
Todd was slightly stunned. Originally, his father had already promised to let him manage the branch in Constant, but why did he suddenly change his mind?
However, with guests present, he would not violate his father's wishes: "It is my honor to serve the Earl!"
Hobert nodded: "Let's do this, come to 62 Empress Borough next Monday and officially start working!"
After the Earl and Countess bid farewell, Todd asked his father, "Do you guess that the industry the Earl wants to develop has very good potential?"
"Even if there is no potential, he will dig out the potential." Dicos smiled: "This kid inherited Commander Rex's genius-like mind and also inherited Commander Christian's steadiness. His career will definitely be successful."
Todd nodded. He always had great faith in his father's judgment.
… …
Hobert and Fors's third stop was Tingen City.
The two directly used "Travel" to arrive at the villa in the suburbs of Tingen City and, after the butler's notification, soon met Ulysses.
Mr. Ulysses also warmly entertained Hobert and his wife and inquired about their recent situation.
After chatting for a while, Hobert said, "Mr. Ulysses, I recently need a thousand new-style rifles and twenty cannons, as well as 300,000 rounds of ammunition and 3,000 rounds of shells."
If it were before, he could have asked Christian to buy these weapons, but Hobert heard that after Christian became a councilor, he no longer cared about military logistics.
"No problem." Ulysses agreed readily: "These will probably cost about six thousand pounds, mainly because the cannons are expensive, requiring 100 pounds per cannon."
This was the price Ulysses could get. If Hobert went to contact the arms company himself, he would have to go through very cumbersome procedures to buy new-style cannons, and the price would be several times higher.
Like the second-hand old-style weapons that Klein later helped the military sell, Ulysses could even sell them to Hobert at scrap iron prices.
It's just that after Hobert had his own territory, he hoped to manufacture guns and cannons himself, so he definitely wanted to buy the latest weapons and take them back to disassemble and copy.
Fors hadn't expected firearms to be so cheap. In Backlund, a revolver cost 3 to 5 pounds, let alone a rifle.
Actually, the cost of these weapons wasn't high, but various restrictions created their scarcity, giving the impression they were very expensive.
After finalizing the small arms deal, Ulysses mentioned Elizabeth's plan to go to Backlund to apply for university.
"Let her stay at the Earl's mansion," Hobert said. "I'll hire a tutor to give her lessons, which will be more targeted."
Ulysses smiled. "Then I'll entrust her to you."
He didn't know many people in Backlund, and more importantly, he didn't know anyone in the education sector, so he couldn't help Elizabeth much with her university application.
After agreeing on Elizabeth's arrival time in Backlund, Hobert prepared to leave, but Ulysses wouldn't let them go. They had lunch before he let them depart.
Back in Backlund, the couple returned to their bedroom, changed into Feynapotter-style clothes, and discussed the three visits they had made that day.
Fors had certainly felt the enthusiasm of the three people they had met, but except for Barton, the barrister, Hobert hadn't mentioned them before.
Hobert, while putting on his trousers, said, "They were all my father's comrades-in-arms in the Southern Continent. I heard my father talk about them.
"Among them, Mr. Ulysses had the greatest military achievements, but because of his humble origins, he was never able to enter Backlund's circles.
"And Dicos was injured in the leg, returned home to inherit the family business, and made the family business flourish.
"Barton, the barrister, was also disappointed with the military's promotion system, so he simply helped my father manage the law firm."
Hobert, who had finished changing, concluded, "The Kingdom of Loen is still a 'hereditary system' world. Most officials and employees in various departments inherit their parents' jobs.
"Or rather, this happens in every era, it's just a matter of how serious it is. Hopefully, the civil service exam will bring some changes to this situation."
Fors, smoothing out her skirt, said, "That's human nature!"
Hobert slipped his hand under her skirt. "Yes, that's human nature."
Fors, adjusting her hair, removed Hobert's hand. "Do you have any solutions for this?"
"Why should I care?" Hobert said with a smile. "This isn't my country."
Fors smiled slightly, not continuing the topic. "The manor across the mountain will be renovated in a few days. I plan to call it Green Meadow Manor."
"Good name!" Hobert praised, thinking, 'Good thing I didn't have to name it, I hate naming things the most.'
After the two finished changing, Hobert greeted Dophis and used "Travel" to reach Jeffery Territory.
Fors stretched in the sunlight. "From now on, unless there's something important, I don't want to go back to Backlund."
Seeing Fors ask the servant to bring her a comfortable chair, Hobert smiled. However, he had other things to do today and couldn't bask in the sun with Fors.
Hobert used "Travel" again to leave, finding Archibald, who was commanding the bandit suppression.
They were resting in the mountains. According to intelligence, they had just wiped out the last group of bandits on the east bank last night and were preparing to return to Jeffery City this afternoon.
Upon seeing Archibald, Hobert took out the small piece of wood he had obtained from "Admiral of Blood": "This comes from a ghost ship, or a ship with Beyonder power.
"Try it and see if you can divine the location of that ship."
"Admiral of Blood" said that this piece of wood could find the location of "Rear Admiral Dusk." Although pirates' words couldn't be easily trusted, Hobert believed that even if he couldn't find the location of "Rear Admiral Dusk," he could find clues about him.
Because sending an enemy to "Rear Admiral Dusk" was in the interest of the "Admiral of Blood."
However, "Admiral of Blood" wouldn't sincerely help. Hobert had already taken this small yellow piece of wood to "Nation of Disorder" for inspection in advance. As he expected, "Admiral of Blood" had indeed hidden a curse on it.
If he directly used this piece of wood for divination or kept it with him often, he would be cursed and eventually die miserably.
Hobert, in the "Nation of Disorder," used the Beyonder characteristics of the "Disciple of Silence" to easily eliminate the curse.
Therefore, Hobert planned to use "Rear Admiral Dusk" to practice and feel the qualitative change after advancing to a demigod.
Archibald, with the appearance of a gentle middle-aged man, took the piece of wood. After a second or two of silence, he said, "That ship has anti-divination abilities."
Hobert smiled slightly, thinking, 'That's okay. The previous oil painting marked "Admiral of Blood." Since I can't find "Rear Admiral Dusk," I can go to "Admiral of Blood" for a refund.'
However, Archibald then said, "You can take me to the Spirit World. In there, I can divine the approximate location of that ship."
As a Beyonder creature with a demigod level in divination, he had ways to bypass some anti-divination designs.
Hobert nodded. "Be prepared. If you can find the location of that ship, you can add at least two more puppets.
"And I can be sure that the enemies on the ship are either from the 'Warrior' pathway or the 'Hunter' pathway."
Archibald smiled. "What's there to prepare for? Just bring my 'Desire Apostle' puppet."
Hobert "Hmm"ed and checked the mystical items on his body. He was currently only carrying the "Traveler's Blade," "Spirit Wine Glass," and "Ocean Pendant" as Grade 2 Sealed Artifacts.
If it weren't for the possibility of fighting at sea, he wouldn't even bring the "Ocean Pendant."
Currently, Hobert's physique had far exceeded that of a "Zombie," so he didn't need the "Zombie Spoon."
As for the two Grade 1 Sealed Artifacts, Hobert chose "1-101" from the "Marauder" pathway and "1-107" from the "Arbiter" pathway.
In addition, there were also auxiliary mystical items such as the "Order Wood," "Disorder Stone," and "Crystal of Order."
After checking these items, Hobert supported Archibald and its Seer puppet's shoulders and came to the Spirit World.
Divination is the process of obtaining information from the Spirit World. The Spirit World has no concept of time, so it is possible to understand revelations about the future.
It is also possible to bypass obstacles such as the obstacles and distances of the real world to obtain more information from afar.
If you come directly to the Spirit World to perform divination, for a "Seer," this information will actively come together.
Archibald closed his eyes in the Spirit World, his lips moving slightly as he muttered something. After seven or eight seconds, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Found it! I'll lead the way ahead."
This journey to the Spirit World lasted more than five minutes. Hobert felt that many Spirit World creatures had set their sights on them, but because there were two demigods among the three of them, those Spirit World creatures had not acted.
Just as Hobert was about to leave the Spirit World to rest, Archibald suddenly said, "It's here."
The scene in front of him was colorful and unclear what was outside the Spirit World.
Hobert said, "Okay." Everything in front of him suddenly became rich and colorful. The three of them left the Spirit World and appeared in a forest.
Archibald saw Hobert's confusion. "I can't find the exact location of that ship, but it must be nearby!"
Hobert jumped upwards, then he "twisted" the gravity under his feet and floated directly up.
He easily came to the canopy of a large tree and looked into the distance. This was a small island, and there was a village on the coast outside the forest.
There was a port on the coast, and several pirate ships were docked there. The leading ship was seventy or eighty meters long and golden in color, as if it were a ship made of gold, or as if it were emitting a golden light.
Hobert glanced at the flag again and confirmed that it was "Rear Admiral Dusk's" fleet.
He jumped down from the canopy. "The ship we're looking for is on the coast. Divinate whether our actions will be smooth."
Archibald didn't expect Hobert to be so cautious. The opponent was only a Sequence 5, and they were launching a surprise attack.
However, it was never wrong to be cautious. He divined whether his next actions would be dangerous and received the revelation that "there is a certain amount of danger, but it is still within acceptable limits."
Hobert then said, "Divine again, whether the enemy has a Sealed Artifact with 'Travel' abilities on them."
"Such divination phrases are easily avoided by the enemy's anti-divination abilities." Archibald said, "I should divine whether our main enemy will use the ability of 'Traveling' to escape."
The divination result was: No.
Hobert nodded slightly, still cautiously put on his mask, supported Archibald and the Marionette's shoulders, and once again entered the illusory spirit world. A few seconds later, they directly appeared on the flagship of "Vice Admiral Dusk" Bulatov Ivan.
Hobert glanced at the deck under his feet. When he got close, the ship's body didn't have that golden sensory feeling, but it still looked like a large ship made of sandalwood, with obvious yellow color, looking very strong and durable.
The few sailors on the deck were stunned by the sudden appearance of the three people.
Hobert said to a sailor: "I'm looking for your captain."
At the same time, he used the ability of "Charm". At this time, "Charm" could already attack in a range. The sailors were about to warn, but soon they relaxed again.
The sailor who was asked smiled as if he had met an old friend: "Our captain has gone ashore. I heard that he is going to negotiate a big deal here."
Hobert asked as if casually chatting: "What about your first mate?"
"The first mate went with the captain."
Hobert was about to ask about the second mate's whereabouts when suddenly a door on the second floor of the superstructure of the ship was suddenly pushed open, and a large man of about two meters walked out: "What's going on?"
He had already felt that the atmosphere on the ship seemed wrong.
The sailor said to Hobert as if offering a treasure: "That's our second mate."
"Very good." Hobert smiled: "Disorder!"
At this time, Hobert could already put targets within 50 meters into a state of "Disorder"!
The second mate, who was just covered in the light of dawn, immediately felt that the clouds in the sky were so beautiful, which suddenly gave him the idea of admiring the clouds.
By the time he came back to his senses, a young man wearing a black mask and a cloak, and a gentle middle-aged man had already appeared in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, the second mate felt his body become stiff. The formation of a thought seemed like a very difficult task.
With the blessing of "Connection", Archibald only took three seconds to complete the initial control of the second mate, and only eight seconds to turn the second mate into a Marionette.
Archibald sighed in his heart: "Seer" and "Lawyer" are good partners after becoming demigods!
Before this, it would only be this fast for him to turn ordinary people into Marionettes. For Beyonders, it would take at least a dozen seconds to turn the other party into a Marionette.
Hobert was sighing: Demigods are indeed different. The other party's second mate has already been dealt with, and the other party realized that something was wrong.
Moreover, it was not the sailors on the flagship who realized that something was wrong, but the other pirate ships. Seeing everything that happened here, they realized that the flagship seemed to be under attack, so they warned the other ships.
Hobert then returned to ask the sailor: "Where exactly did your captain and first mate go?"
The sailors scrambled to point out the direction to Hobert: "It's the two-story wooden building over there."
Hobert stood on the high side of the ship and saw that there were indeed many people around the two-story building.
Hobert said to Archibald: "I'll go over first, you follow up as soon as possible."
As he spoke, he used "Traveling" again to come to the front of the small building. The pirates guarding outside were startled, and two pirates subconsciously wanted to attack Hobert.
But Hobert used a "Blink" to get past them and came to the door on the second floor, kicked it open, but there was no one inside.
Hobert knew it would be like this. After all, the "Hunter's" ability to perceive danger is very sensitive, so before the action, he asked Archibald to divine whether the other party had an Sealed Artifact with the ability of "Traveling".
He estimated that the "Vice Admiral Dusk" or the first mate realized the danger very early and escaped.
However, the reason why Hobert was still so unhurried was because "Connection" had another use: it could easily find the association of things or rules.
He wanted to experiment to see if it was easy to use.
Even if "Connection" is not as easy to use as imagined, he can also use "True Vision" to observe the surroundings. Anyway, the other party cannot escape with "Traveling".
Hobert immediately found the place associated with the "Vice Admiral Dusk". The window frame was stepped on by the "Vice Admiral Dusk", and all the way up, the grass on the ground and the broken branches were guiding Hobert's direction.
Unknowingly, Hobert chased into the woods. Suddenly he stopped and saw a simple and crude extraordinary trap on the road in front of him. In addition, he also felt three spiritual presences in different directions around him.
Hobert immediately realized that the escaped "Vice Admiral Dusk" and others realized that the source of danger was chasing them, so they hastily set up a trap and hid in three directions to ambush the source of danger.
Hobert smiled slightly, because he didn't feel any danger, so he unhurriedly put the area of the extraordinary trap into "Disorder".
He was still cautious and not underestimating the enemy, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered with this seemingly clumsy trap.
In addition, Hobert also noticed a problem. The "Hunter" pathway should have the ability to hide themselves, but the other party was so openly "showing" their spirituality, which kept him in a cautious attitude!
At the same time, Hobert found that he was very calm in the battle. In the previous extraordinary battles, he had to keep running, constantly attacking or evading attacks.
But now, there was no need for that at all. He could quickly catch up with the escaped enemy through continuous "Distortion" of distance.
The "Disorder" used by Hobert triggered the trap, and a fireball emerged from the ground and smashed towards him.
But because that area was in a state of "Disorder", the attack direction of the fireball changed and smashed elsewhere.
Hobert released the majesty belonging to a demigod: "Who should I start with?"
The surrounding birds or small animals were all shocked by the pressure shown by Hobert, shivering in the trees or on the ground, expressing their submission in their own way.
The three people had good psychological qualities. They haven't rushed out to fight or continued to escape.
"Corruption!" Hobert felt that it was time to end this game. The creatures within a hundred meters around immediately became depraved, losing all positive and upward thoughts. Hobert suddenly rushed forward and punched down a big tree.
But the person behind the big tree was tied there, and was already incontinent with fright.
Hobert immediately understood that the arrangement of the three spiritual presences he felt was probably the real trap, just to hold him back for a while.
This made him sigh: "As expected of a cunning Hunter."
Because the person behind the big tree was wearing pirate clothes, Hobert simply killed him.
Then Hobert seemed to realize something. He smiled at the other two places with spiritual fluctuations: "Some people think they are smart, but they are just being clever."
Hobert did not continue to pursue, but suddenly rushed towards another place where he sensed spirituality. There was still only a "low-sequence" pirate hidden there.
When rushing towards the third target, that target couldn't hold back and began to flee. Hobert: "Distortion!"
Hobert "Distorted" the other party's intention, and running away became charging, so the other party suddenly turned around and charged towards Hobert with a look of horror.
Hobert punched over: "Magnify!", he "Magnified" the power of this punch and directly smashed the other party's head down.
He guessed that the Beyonder with a different head in front of him was probably the arranger of this trap. According to common sense, the pursuer should immediately continue to pursue after discovering the second layer of the trap.
In this way, the arranger of the trap would have plenty of time to escape, but Hobert found that the other party deliberately exposed his position, which might be a problem.
As a result, there really was a problem!
