Hobert used "1-101" to steal the ability of the "Puppet" curse, and then used "1-107" to prohibit possession in this area. This greatly reduced the strength of the "Puppet", so he simply had Senor call a "Disciple of Silence" for support.
Because it was his first time fighting a demigod head-on, Hobert didn't dare to be distracted. He ignored Senor, who was staggering away, and focused all his energy on the "Puppet".
He felt that the restrictions on the "Puppet" were not enough. To be cautious, after dodging the "Puppet's" "Wraith Shriek", he "tampered" with the angle of light, turning the oblique sunset into direct sunlight.
The cabin was immediately filled with the golden sunlight characteristic of dusk. The "Puppet" waved his hand, and the surrounding tables and chairs, as if alive, rushed towards Hobert and smashed to pieces.
Such attacks couldn't cause any harm to Hobert. He simply ignored them and raised his hand: "Magnify!"
The golden sunset light suddenly became scorching, as if the midday sun was shining directly into the cabin.
At the same time, the surrounding cannons completed their process of turning their muzzles. They aimed at Hobert, and cannonballs and gunpowder jumped out of the wooden boxes by themselves, completing the loading process.
Boom~
More than a dozen cannons fired at Hobert at close range. Moreover, under the control of the "Puppet", these cannonballs could avoid Hobert's passively activated "Disorder" and directly hit Hobert.
Hobert was, after all, not a demigod of the "Warrior" pathway, so he had to take such attacks seriously: "Disorder!"
The space around him immediately fell into "Disorder". More than a dozen cannonballs perfectly missed Hobert and exploded in the cabin, blasting the surrounding furniture and utensils to pieces, and blasting large holes in the cabin.
The sunlight in the cabin became more and more dazzling, like the unobstructed scorching sun on a summer beach.
As a Beyonder of the "Prisoner" pathway, as a former "Wraith", such an environment made him very uncomfortable. Although it couldn't produce negative effects immediately, it would affect his condition.
"Weaken!" At this moment, Hobert calmly launched an offensive.
Feeling his own "Spirituality" rapidly weakening, the "Puppet" quickly used the "Source of Curses", an ability he was reluctant to use easily.
The "Puppet's" skin and hair, and even the clothes on his body, became more and more refined. Under the scorching sun, his skin even reflected a layer of light like a glass film, becoming like a real exquisite puppet.
He had an equally exquisite dagger in his hand, and he stabbed it fiercely into his own heart!
This ability could establish a deep connection with the enemy. The "Puppet" could hurt the enemy by hurting himself.
After a series of enhancements such as "Werewolf", "Zombie", and "Wraith", the "Puppet" had an absolute advantage in exchanging injuries.
"Bestow!" Hobert quickly granted most of the damage he received to a beer barrel.
Thump~
The beer barrel immediately burst, and Hobert's chest also bled, but it only pierced his skin and bones.
Then, the "Puppet" picked up the dagger and stabbed it deeply into his left eye without hesitation! And stirred it in the eye socket.
Although the "Puppet's" eyeball was also completely shattered, he could take off other people's eyeballs after the battle and put them on himself. For him, this was just a body part!
Hobert couldn't help but cursed "Damn it" in his heart. He didn't dare to be negligent either: "Exploit!"
The damage caused by the "Puppet" using the "Source of Curses" had just begun, but the vision in Hobert's left eye immediately became blurred. His eyeball was still pierced, and he temporarily lost the vision in his left eye.
At this time, an old man with sparse white hair came to this floor, which had been blasted into chaos by the cannonballs.
It was Jax, who Senor had just summoned!
The "Puppet" smiled slightly, and stabbed the dagger into his stomach again.
"Grant!" Hobert quickly "granted" his connection to Jax. This "Disciple of Silence" was not as fragile as a beer barrel, allowing Hobert time to use "Connection" to strengthen the connection between Jax and the "Puppet", so that Hobert would no longer be harmed by the "Source of Curses".
Jax's stomach suddenly became illusory, using the Wraith state of Sequence 3 to avoid the "Puppet's" attack.
He was about to open his mouth and utter a silent curse, but suddenly saw Hobert smile slightly.
Hobert stretched out his hand: "Distort!"
This distortion was not attacking the enemy, but distorting the few boxes of cannonballs that rolled out of the wooden box in the iron-clad room not far away, causing them to collide!
The "Tree of Flesh and Blood's" armory was on this floor. Just now, the "Puppet's" attack on Hobert using the cannons had blasted a hole in the armory, but because there was a layer of iron protecting it, it did not cause a chain explosion.
Hobert made those cannonballs collide, and a violent explosion occurred immediately, and the explosion ignited the entire ammunition depot.
Boom~
This floor under the deck was completely covered by the fire of the explosion.
"Hahaha!" Hobert jumped out of the fire with a laugh. The space in front of him immediately became illusory, and he used "Travel" to leave here.
As soon as he entered the spirit world, Hobert felt that the atmosphere was wrong. He looked around, and sure enough, he saw the elderly Jax in his upper left, the old Jax.
The other party smiled coldly. For him, entering the spirit world was as easy as entering his own backyard.
Jax opened his mouth and uttered a vicious curse towards Hobert!
"Distort!" Hobert quickly "distorted" the other party's curse, turning the curse towards the depths of the spirit world. But the other party was, after all, a Sequence 3, and Hobert was still affected by the curse. Several strange mouths with fangs and spiky tongues grew on his arms.
These strange mouths immediately began to tear at "1-101" and "1-107", as if they wanted to swallow these two Sealed Artifacts into their stomachs!
"Bestow!" Hobert granted the curse he received to a passing, unlucky spirit world creature, and those strange mouths gradually disappeared.
But Jax's "Curse" still attracted many monsters from the spirit world.
Hobert quickly left the spirit world. That was Jax's home field, and he had no advantage!
Returning to the vicinity of the "Tree of Flesh and Blood" again, Hobert continued to fall into the sea: "Skinny Horse!"
He recited this ancient Hermes incantation, and the skeletal horse appeared in front of Hobert. It immediately spread its wings and caught him close to the sea surface before Hobert fell into the water.
Hobert discovered that in Maximilian's originally empty stomach, there was an extra beating heart. Many blood vessels spread out from the heart. These blood vessels intertwined to form the shape of a liver and two lungs.
And that heart was the spoils that Maximilian had previously obtained from Hobert: the heart of the "Devil"!
Hobert didn't know if Maximilian's state had become stronger now, but since the other party actively wanted that heart, it should be very useful to it.
He rode Maximilian in a circle around the "Tree of Flesh and Blood" in mid-air. The middle of this huge pirate ship was blasted open. The floor where Hobert fought just now, and the floor below, were completely blasted into ruins.
If it were an ordinary pirate ship, or even a steel warship, it would have split from the middle and sunk quickly after being blasted like this.
But the "Tree of Flesh and Blood" did not. It actually had a skeleton-like structure supporting it, and it could still maintain the basic posture of a ship.
Hobert also saw Senor crawling out of the ruins. He looked around blankly, as if he didn't recognize his own ship anymore.
"Magnify!" Hobert knew that the "Puppet" must be waiting somewhere to ambush him, so he "magnified" Maximilian's flying speed. Since he couldn't leave from the spirit world, he would escape from the real world.
But before flying far, the old Jax came out of the spirit world with a cold smile, blocking their way.
After being blocked twice in a row, Jax was getting closer and closer to Hobert, and his extraordinary attacks were almost following behind Hobert's butt.
Hobert realized that this wouldn't work. If Jax blocked in front and the "Puppet" chased from behind, he would fall into complete passivity.
He thought to himself: Since you won't let me leave, I'm going to call for reinforcements!
Hobert immediately said to Maximilian: "Try to avoid the enemy's attacks!"
Then he used "Order Crystal" to build a solid "Order Fortress", making it difficult for him and Maximillian to be harmed within ten seconds.
This ability seemed very powerful, but it actually had a huge drawback. Hobert's Beyonder abilities couldn't attack enemies outside the "Fortress" either.
When the "Power of Order" only formed a barrier before, Hobert's Beyonder abilities could still bypass the side of the barrier, but now it was impossible, otherwise this would definitely be Hobert's first choice before every battle.
After explaining to Maximilian, Hobert quickly completed the process of praying to himself, and entered the "Nation of Disorder", throwing the "Bull Devil Monarch" and the "Sea-Overturning Great Sage" into his own stars.
… …
In the real world, Jax had just come out of the spirit world and was preparing to continue to besiege Maximilian.
Suddenly, he felt something and looked into the air. A huge black sea serpent suddenly appeared!
The black membrane behind its head, and the illusory scales, all indicated its unusualness.
As soon as the "Great Sage" appeared on the sea, the sunset was immediately blocked by thick dark clouds, as if it had entered the night ahead of time.
Thunder rumbled in the dark clouds, as if a surging force was brewing.
At the same time, the waves immediately became fierce, and the "Tree of Flesh and Blood" began to sway from side to side.
The previous battle had already caused the other pirate ships to break away from the fleet, and at this moment, the "Tree of Flesh and Blood" seemed to be hanging alone on the sea.
The bull-headed, deer-antlered monster landed steadily on the "Tree of Flesh and Blood," seeking traces of the "Puppet."
Seeing the "Bull Devil Monarch," the "Puppet's" memories of the previous battle in the Southern Continent were awakened. He still vividly remembered the "Bull Devil Monarch's" brutality, and there was also a masked youth circling in the air.
So he simply hid in a piece of shattered mirror, preparing to go out when the time was right.
Hobert returned to the real world and tasked the "Great Sage" with attacking Jax, and the "Bull Devil Monarch" with attacking the "Puppet" on the pirate ship.
He then had Maximilian land on the "Tree of Flesh and Blood" and head straight for Senor.
Originally, Hobert was prepared to take advantage of the explosion to escape, but since Jax had blocked him back, he might as well hunt the "Admiral of Blood" before leaving.
Seeing Hobert coming towards him, Senor disappeared again on the spot.
This time, Hobert saw clearly that Senor instantly transformed into a "Wraith" state. The "Tree of Flesh and Blood" could speed up the transformation, so it looked like he had disappeared on the spot.
In addition, the "Tree of Flesh and Blood" was like a mirror, providing Senor with a way to escape. Theoretically, he could indeed appear anywhere on the "Tree of Flesh and Blood."
Hobert pondered for a moment, thinking that he could prohibit this place from transforming into a Wraith, but he still wanted to try the strength of his own abilities.
So, Hobert used his range ability, "Depravity," while heading to the lower level of the ship's hold, which was still relatively intact.
This level contained some cargo, as well as the "Tree of Flesh and Blood's" food, and the young men and women used by the crew for venting their desires.
Some of these young men and women, who were locked in cages, had been knocked unconscious by the explosion, while others had been hit and bled. Because of the obstruction of the upper deck, this level was still relatively intact.
They seemed to know that this was an opportunity and were trying to unlock the cages.
If Hobert didn't use other abilities, he could continuously use "Depravity" to maintain the "Depraved" state around him for a long time.
Under the influence of Hobert's "Depravity," these young men and women lost the motivation to escape. Many people had smiles on their faces, feeling that the life of a sex slave was quite good.
Hobert quickly passed them, and just as he was about to go to the lowest level, the top of the cabin seemed to have a large drop of water.
That was Senor in Wraith form. He was also affected by "Depravity" and had no desire to continue hiding, so he hung from the top of the cabin.
"Disorder!" Seeing that this method had indeed found the "Admiral of Blood," Hobert immediately launched the next attack!
Senor immediately fell into a state of "Disorder." He felt a little weak after being injured and thought he should have a bottle of rum to replenish his strength.
Hobert took advantage of Senor's Wraith state to go to the wine cellar: "Exploit!"
He utilized the control of the Wraith transformation, ended Senor's Wraith state, and while the "Admiral of Blood," who was missing an arm, was still in a state of "Disorder," Hobert drew his knife.
There was obvious resistance in Senor's eyes, but the "Disorder" of a demigod level could not be escaped simply by having a firm will.
Hobert slashed down with his knife, but suddenly missed because of the ship's violent shaking and did not hit Senor!
After a slight daze, Hobert recalled that Senor had a miraculous item from the "Monster" pathway!
"Disorder!" This time, Hobert plunged the area around the "Admiral of Blood" into chaos, preventing that miraculous item from working again.
Hobert raised his knife again, and this time he finally chopped off Senor's head, put it in his backpack, and accelerated the extraction of the Beyonder characteristics from his body.
By the time he obtained the "Admiral of Blood's" Beyonder characteristics, Senor's legs were still twitching, showing how smooth Hobert's operation was.
Just as Hobert was about to leave, he saw the young men and women in the cages with pleading eyes.
Hobert ignored them and was about to use "Blink" to return to the upper level when he suddenly realized that he would not have ignored the pleas of ordinary people before.
After frowning slightly, Hobert cut open the locks of the cages with his black knife, letting them escape on their own.
Based on Hobert's experience using "Travel," this place was not far from Bayam. If they went to sea on their own, they could easily find islands or encounter merchant ships on the sea lanes.
Using "Blink" to return to the upper level, Hobert found that it was completely dark.
Crack!~
Continuous huge lightning bolts seemed to explode overhead. The battle between the "Great Sage" and Jax had entered a fever pitch, while the "Bull Devil Monarch" was still searching for the "Puppet."
Hobert threw the two usable small boats on the "Tree of Flesh and Blood" into the water and pried up some planks of wood and threw them into the water to allow the group of men and women to escape.
At this time, in the sky, the "Great Sage," "swimming" in the air, directed lightning to besiege Jax. Jax had been maintaining a semi-transparent state, which made it easy to enter the spirit world and also allowed him to float in the air.
But now, if Jax wanted to enter the spirit world, the "Great Sage" would "distort" that space to intercept Jax.
And Jax' curses and possession had no effect on the "Great Sage." The curses at the Sequence 3 level were already curses on the enemy's soul. Because the spirit body had mutated, the body followed suit.
The "Great Sage" only had a remnant of spirit supporting its huge body and had no spirit body at all.
Possession was even more out of the question. The "Great Sage's" body was originally a condensation of power and had no flesh and blood. Even if the possession was completed, the "Great Sage" would not be greatly affected.
Jax might even be imprisoned by the "Great Sage" because of this.
The most infuriating thing was that Jax had even used the ability of the "Source of Curse," but no matter how much he hurt himself, he only managed to stab a small hole in the "Great Sage," which could be quickly restored.
Jax had no choice but to reach out, as if he had obtained a small figure made of dried bark from the spirit world, and then stuffed it into his mouth.
The whole process made Jax' face full of pain. His state changed rapidly. Jax' originally semi-transparent limbs became slender, and his skin materialized, becoming shriveled, as if it were a newly dug-out mummy.
At this time, another lightning bolt struck him, and the air above his head changed, as if a mirror suddenly appeared, actually reflecting the lightning back.
Jax opened his wrinkled mouth and let out a silent scream.
The huge "Great Sage" in mid-air suddenly turned into an ordinary electric eel and fell towards the sea.
Jax suddenly floated over, his hands turned into sharp claws, wanting to tear apart the electric eel in front of him, but a gust of wind blew past, and the electric eel quickly dodged.
The "Great Sage," which had turned into an electric eel, had only lost some Beyonder abilities and was not without the power to fight back.
The wind came from above, as if slamming the electric eel onto the sea. The moment it encountered seawater, the electric eel turned back into the "Great Sage."
However, the claws of Jax, who followed up, still caught the "Great Sage," making its illusory scales fade a lot.
At the same time, the "Great Sage" suddenly opened its huge mouth, forming a huge vortex in its mouth, sucking in air and seawater.
Jax was also sucked in, resisting the huge suction force.
Although their battle was quite far from the "Tree of Flesh and Blood," the ship was still affected by them, becoming violently shaking.
Seeing that the "Great Sage" and Jax were unable to determine a winner for a while, Hobert jumped onto Maximilian's back, deciding not to watch the battle anymore and leave here.
Just as he flew out a distance, Hobert's spirituality felt something. In mid-air, it seemed that an extremely evil force was descending.
Hobert quickly took Maximilian into the spirit world. He was very familiar with the feeling of that power descending. Obviously, Jax did not have martial ethics and summoned an angel of the "Rose School."
He was only hunting a "Pirate Admiral." Hobert did not want to trigger an angel-level battle. The key was that his current angel-level power was used once and lost once, unlike the "Bull Devil Monarch" and the "Great Sage," which he could use without feeling bad.
As soon as he entered the spirit world, Hobert felt a violent fluctuation. At this time, a vortex-like force was coming from a distance in the spirit world, and endless evil and malice were spreading around.
The surrounding spirit world creatures fled one after another. Hobert knew that it was the power of the "Rose School's" angel. If he had not been promoted to a demigod, he would have been in danger of losing control just by feeling the malice emanating from it.
At the same time, Hobert felt as if a gaze was sweeping towards him. He quickly lowered his body, grabbed Maximilian's ribs, and hung upside down on its abdomen.
Fortunately, that gaze seemed to be attracted by other things and did not immediately notice Hobert.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hobert and Maximilian quickly ran away, leaving that huge source of danger almost in an instant.
After walking in the spirit world for a few seconds, Hobert returned to the real world. At this time, he was already far away from the "Tree of Flesh and Blood." At least, Hobert saw the sunset again, proving that he had completely left that battlefield.
Only then did Hobert quickly return to the "Nation of Disorder" and withdraw the power of the "Bull Devil Monarch" and the "Great Sage."
Because there were no corresponding stars around the "Tree of Flesh and Blood" to see the scene there.
Immediately after, Hobert returned to the real world. After waiting for a while, he used "Travel" again and appeared with Maximilian on a nameless small island.
Hobert put down his backpack to get the spoils. This time, he had gained four Beyonder characteristics, but as soon as he opened his backpack, Hobert noticed something was wrong: "Where is Senor's head?"
He searched carefully, but the backpack only contained the heads of First Mate Caesar, Combat Captain Olivier, and Boatswain Gerna. He couldn't find the "Admiral of Blood's" head.
Hobert dumped everything out of his backpack, but still couldn't find it!
He smiled wryly. He had been happy for nothing. He had thought that if he only claimed the bounties from the two countries, Senor's head would be worth more than 80,000 pounds.
Hobert turned his gaze to the four Beyonder characteristics: He could use the "Admiral of Blood's" Beyonder characteristic to claim the bounty!
Then he realized something was wrong: Such a small Beyonder characteristic didn't fall out of the backpack, but such a big head was lost instead?
Finally, Hobert looked at the "1-101" he wore on his left hand. Although sealing it made it easier to encounter the negative effects of the "Marauder" pathway, the negative effect of easily losing valuables was still there, but the probability was lower.
Hobert recalled that he had used this sealed artifact three times, and this was the first time he had lost something.
Then he began to recall where the head was lost. Soon, he thought of a possibility: When he first entered the spirit world, the "Rose School" angel's gaze seemed to almost notice me, but He suddenly looked elsewhere! At that time, I was hanging on Maximilian's abdomen. Could it be that I lost the head at that time?
Hobert thought: In that case, the "item" I lost this time was like saving my life. The other party's angel should have been attracted by Senor's head, which suddenly appeared in the spirit world, so I had time to escape.
Thinking of this, Hobert took out the "Faceless Necklace" and divined: "There will be a great risk if I go back to find Senor's head!"
After chanting seven times silently, the necklace rotated clockwise, and the speed of rotation was very fast!
That is to say, the level of danger is very high!
Hobert smiled slightly, Okay, then I won't go looking for it.
He put away the "Admiral of Blood's" Beyonder characteristic and pushed the other three Beyonder characteristics and the magical item of the "Monster" pathway to Maximilian: "Choose one."
Maximilian took the boatswain Gerna's Beyonder characteristic in his mouth and then disappeared in front of Hobert.
Hobert put the three heads he had just dumped out back into his backpack, put away the Beyonder characteristics, and used "Travel" to return to Backlund.
...
On the "Tree of Flesh and Blood", which was already unrecognizable, Crista, the angel of the "Rose School", leaned on a cane made of bones and threw the "Admiral of Blood's" head in front of Jax and the "Puppet".
He said in a hoarse voice: "The other party is very wise."
Crista thought that the enemy used Senor's head to attract His attention and took the opportunity to escape. At that time, His power had not been completely projected, which gave the enemy an opportunity.
Jacks said with some shame: "Lord, should we launch a revenge against the Balk family?"
Crista glared at the two demigods in front of him with malicious eyes: "We'll talk about this later. You have more important things to do now. Have you found the whereabouts of Helmosuin?"
Jacks quickly said: "Yes, there are some clues."
Crista sneered: "That's 'Orange Light' Hillarion. The great 'Mother Tree of Desire' has something to discuss with Him. You better not let him run away from under your noses."
Jax quickly lowered his head and said: "Yes."
Crista's figure became illusory and said: "When necessary, you can pray to the 'Mother Tree of Desire' for power."
Jacks and the "Puppet" raised their heads after a long time, feeling that their entire backs were soaked with sweat.
...
Hobert put the head cloth bag into a leather bag to prevent the blood from flowing out, and then put the "Admiral of Blood's" Beyonder characteristic into a small wooden box and took a carriage to the Blackthorn Security Company again.
When he saw Lorotta again, she asked: "What? Is the amount of the bounty incorrect?"
"No, well, I want to talk in the lounge." Hobert looked at the receptionist at the front desk, who should only be a clerical staff member, so he didn't display the heads in the reception hall.
Lorotta nodded and led Hobert to the lounge. There were no tasks this afternoon, and Borgia and another Nighthawk team member were guarding the card table.
Borgia smoked and looked at Hobert: "Does Earl want to play a game too?"
The three of them were playing cards just now.
"I just finished playing 'cards'." Hobert smiled and said, "I have something to talk to Lorotta about."
After Lorotta invited Hobert to sit down, she poured him a cup of black tea.
Hobert politely took a sip and put the leather bag in his hand on the coffee table: "I just hunted the 'Admiral of Blood'."
"Is that so? It seems that Earl is going to be a bounty hunter." Lorotta smiled, obviously not believing it. When she opened the leather bag and saw the three heads, the smile gradually disappeared.
She first suspected that her memory had become so bad? She had clearly sent the "Vice Admiral Dusk" bounty to Hobert this afternoon!
Then she thought: I'm not a "Nightmare", how could my memory become worse? It was just this afternoon that the bounty was sent!
She looked at her watch. It was only more than two hours ago.
Finally, she reacted and called Borgia: "Come and see, who are these people? And how much are they worth? No, you can't have such a good memory."
Lorotta said to Hobert: "Wait a moment."
Saying this, she quickly went out.
Borgia and his colleagues also realized that what Hobert said was true and quickly came over to check, so they saw the three heads.
As Lorotta said, they didn't know which of these people was the "Admiral of Blood's" head. Backlund was far away from the Berserk Sea after all, and they didn't have much concept of the sea bounty orders.
Soon Lorotta came in with several bounty orders and asked Borgia to help turn those heads upright.
Lorotta looked through the bounty orders: "This is 'Beast' Olivier, the combat captain on the 'Tree of Flesh and Blood', a bounty of 4,300 pounds.
"This is 'Moonlight' Caesar, the first mate on the 'Tree of Flesh and Blood', a bounty of 8,700 pounds. And Gerna, the boatswain on the 'Tree of Flesh and Blood', a bounty of 4,200 pounds."
She put down the bounty orders: "Oh my god, these are all important members of the 'Tree of Flesh and Blood', but..."
But why isn't there the "Admiral of Blood's" head?
Hobert took out the wooden box containing the Beyonder characteristics: "The battle was very fierce. I couldn't get any part of Senor's body, but I took away his Beyonder characteristics."
Lorotta took the Beyonder characteristics: "The same, but in this case, there is no way to claim the bounties from other countries."
She didn't have any doubts about the origin of the Beyonder characteristics, and they had a way to confirm the owner of this Beyonder characteristic. She believed that Hobert couldn't lie in this kind of place.
If it was a part of the "Admiral of Blood's" body, it could be cut and then claim the bounty from different countries.
But the Beyonder characteristics can't be cut. Hobert can crush it into many parts, but in that case, the spiritual imprint belonging to Senor will be gone, and it can only be sold as Beyonder characteristics.
Hobert sighed and said: "Okay then, please help me claim the bounty and keep it secret as usual."
"No problem!" Lorotta nodded, "The 'Admiral of Blood's' bounty can be obtained in three or four days, but if you want to get the bounties of other people immediately, you have to pay 5% of the fee similar to the handling fee."
Lorotta spread her hands: "That's what I heard when I claimed the 'Vice Admiral Dusk' bounty before. It is said that this is a hidden rule of our 'extremely efficient' Loen government.
"The church only needs a 5% kickback to claim it. If ordinary bounty hunters go to claim it, they need an 8% to 10% kickback, otherwise the claimant's information will be leaked, causing many unnecessary troubles and dangers, or they will have to wait a few months before they can receive it."
Hobert nodded: "I understand and can accept it."
The matter of eating kickbacks has existed since ancient times, and may have already formed a huge network of interests. Hobert, an earl without an official position, will certainly not put himself in the trouble of meddling.
He just thought: It turns out that "Hanged Man" Alger earned me 10% commission before.
In the first few times, Alger's channel was needed to receive the bounty, so he earned a little. Hobert felt a little pity that the two subordinates of "Vice Admiral Dusk" were still handed over to Alger, which was a bit of a loss.
The main reason was that Hobert had already habitually gone to Alger to deal with the bounty.
...
Berserk Sea, Bayam.
Klein unexpectedly learned that the people of the "Rose School" were looking for the great scientist Turani von Helmosuin. Now this scientist seems to be controlled by the people of the "Queen Mystic".
But the people of the "Rose School" have found the place where Hermosuin is hiding and reported to the important members of the "Rose School" via telegram: Hermosuin is at 32 Black Pepper Avenue.
When Klein first came to the sea, he learned the frequency of sending and receiving telegrams and the codebook of the "Rose School" through the bar owner who collected intelligence and sold stolen goods for the "Admiral of Blood".
Therefore, he easily cracked this crucial message and used the "Sea God Scepter" to broadcast it throughout Bayam, informing the military and the Storm Church of the location where Helmosuin was hiding.
After doing all this, Klein thought that this matter had nothing to do with him. Moreover, the high probability of disrupting the "Rose School's" good deeds put him in a good mood, and he went to rest.
However, in the middle of the night, he suddenly woke up. He had just turned over and sat up when he heard a "dong, dong, dong" knocking sound at the door.
Klein put on the "Creeping Hunger," took out the "Death Knell" from under the pillow, and came to the door. The image of the visitor appeared in his mind: a thin old man with gray-white hair, who was putting a coffee-colored candy into his mouth.
Turani von Helmosuin!
Damn! Why would he come to me?
Klein's first reaction was to tell the other party that he had knocked on the wrong door, but he knew that it would be difficult to fool him by saying that, so he asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Helmosuin smiled weakly and said, "My life has come to an end, so I have been thinking about many things recently."
"Please allow me to introduce myself. You can call me: 'Orange Light' Hillarion."
Klein was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What do you want?"
"I'm here to remind you to be careful of the 'Mother Tree of Desire'."
Klein thought to himself, I will be careful even without your reminder.
The other party asked again, "Do you have any enemies here?"
"Why do you ask that?" Klein didn't quite understand what the other party meant.
Helmosuin coughed and said, "I can go to his door and die quietly, so you can take revenge."
The corners of Klein's mouth twitched uncontrollably: My enemies are not in Bayam!
Then, separated by a door, the two exchanged information about the "characteristics" on Klein's body, that is, the aura of the primordial.
In addition, they also exchanged prophecies about the apocalypse. At the end of the conversation, Helmosuin asked, "Do you mind if I die at your door?"
Klein smiled helplessly: "I do mind."
Helmosuin took a bite of the candy and said, "Then I have to leave immediately, otherwise it will be too late."
"When you become a demigod and have the ability to explore the depths of the spirit world, we will have a chance to meet again."
Klein was silent for a second or two before saying, "Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Hillarion."
Helmosuin did not reply. Klein only heard the sound of the other party going downstairs.
Reviewing the conversation just now, Klein fell into deep thought. At this moment, the radio suddenly monitored another signal!
Klein was stunned. Was it some order from the "Rose School"? Or a response to his previous "broadcast"?
He quickly recorded the received code, then translated it into letters, and finally formed words.
The content of the telegram was: I see you!
Klein's "Damn!" almost blurted out again. This night was destined to be sleepless.
… …
Backlund, 62 Empress Borough.
After having dinner with Hobert, Lorotta, Borgia, Thomas and other acquaintances, Hobert also went to the scene of a Beyonder case with Thomas and the others to watch the excitement, and returned to the Earl's Mansion after the case was basically solved.
In the afternoon, the safe that Hobert had asked Dophis to buy had been placed in the study.
This safe was as big as a wardrobe, and it was very eye-catching in the study. It was already filled with gold pounds, including the 13,700 pounds that Hobert had just obtained through Mr. Fool, and the 72,000 pounds that Dophis had exchanged from the bank with a check.
The combined total of so many gold pounds had already filled most of the safe.
There will be two more large incomes later. The first is the money Klein paid to buy the magical item with the "travel" ability, and the second is the bounty for the "Admiral of Blood" and its main members. This safe may not be enough.
Looking at so many gold pounds, Hobert felt quite a sense of accomplishment: "Give me a cigarette."
Dophis was slightly stunned, and immediately turned around to get a cigarette and lit it for Hobert.
Hobert took a puff of the cigarette and exhaled the smoke onto the gold pounds, making the gold pounds look smoky and even somewhat sacred.
He sighed in his heart, suddenly feeling like a big villain.
Dophis said, "I will have the craftsmen modify this place to embed the safe in the wall, so it won't be so abrupt."
Hobert put out the cigarette and closed the door of the safe: "Okay, do it as soon as possible."
At this moment, he suddenly heard a male's prayer from the "Nation of Disorder", so Hobert returned to the bedroom, locked the door, and entered the "Nation of Disorder".
Sitting on the "Iron Throne", Hobert found that the star representing Klein was actually expanding: He doesn't usually "contact" me. Why is this guy suddenly looking for me in the middle of the night?
