[The Church of MissRaven has obtained its first Grade 1 Sealed Artifact: ArcherArchX.]
This skeletal horse is called Maximillian, another contract object of Hobert's "Spirit Wine Glass," and this is the first time Hobert has summoned it.
The reason for summoning it is that Hobert is not a proper "Wind Blessed" after all, and his "low flying" ability cannot take away two "trophies."
Moreover, the other party's boatswain has already chased after him, and that is a true "Wind Blessed."
The ghostly horse's skeletal wings spread out, spanning four to five meters, and without needing a running start, it directly lifts Hobert and the two "trophies" into the air.
Hobert laughed loudly: "You thought I couldn't escape just because I couldn't enter the spirit world?"
The boatswain ran over with large strides, the surrounding storms swirling around him, lifting him up to continue chasing Hobert in mid-air.
Just as Hobert was preparing to chase after this "Wind Blessed," he suddenly noticed a ball of red mist appearing in the ghostly horse's empty stomach.
Poof~
The red mist was released from behind, enveloping the shouting "Wind Blessed."
Hobert grimaced: Never open your mouth when chasing enemies in the future, who knows what kind of fart they'll release!
Then he realized: "Horse, could this be your 'weird' ability?"
Hobert remembered that his request at the time was for it to be able to fly and possess a weird ability.
Maximillian proudly raised its head, as if wanting to let out a neigh, but perhaps due to the lack of vocal cords, it had to give up.
Hobert thought: It's just releasing a fart, what's so great about it?
However, Hobert soon discovered that the storm dispersed the red mist, and red flames were burning on the boatswain's body.
The rainstorm did not extinguish the flames, and the boatswain jumped into the sea, but the red flames still did not immediately go out.
At this time, Hobert had already flown away from the "Tree of Flesh and Blood" ship, and he suddenly realized that this ghostly horse could definitely play a huge role in naval battles.
In an era without anti-aircraft guns or similar weapons, any airborne force at sea possesses a huge advantage.
After putting some distance between himself and the "Tree of Flesh and Blood" ship, Hobert used "Travel." The space in front of him became illusory, and this time the "Admiral of Blood" was not blocking the way.
Hobert used "Travel" to arrive at the nearby Pontus Isle, where dark clouds covered the sky, as if a huge storm was about to come.
Hobert hid in a corner of the jungle, first recovering his condition, and then killed the not-yet-dead Byerly with one strike, while Crane had already breathed his last.
The ghostly horse stood aside, quietly watching Hobert accelerate the extraction speed of the Beyonder characteristics, waiting to divide the spoils of war.
Hant stepped out of the void and also waited aside to divide the spoils of war.
This time Hobert only obtained two Beyonder characteristics: "I summoned Hant first, let him choose first."
The ghostly horse lowered its head, as if nodding.
Hant took the "Zombie" Beyonder characteristic, while the ghostly horse took away Byerly's Beyonder characteristic.
If it were in the past, Hobert would have gotten nothing.
But this time it was different. Hobert prayed to "The Fool," contacted Alger, and handed over the two corpses for Alger to deal with.
After seeing the two corpses, Alger was a little surprised: "This… this is 'Iron Hand' Clarin 'Crimson Butcher' Byrd"
Hobert "Hmm"ed: "That's right, what are their respective bounties?"
"5500 pounds and 3900 pounds," Alger said, "Where did you hunt them down?"
"On the 'Tree of Flesh and Blood' ship." Hobert didn't expect that his hunt would earn 9400 pounds!
The violent sea is indeed full of walking pounds!
Alger thought he heard wrong: "The 'Tree of Flesh and Blood' ship?"
Isn't that the "Admiral of Blood's" flagship?
Hobert didn't care too much: "Still split the spoils according to the old rules!"
After speaking, he stepped into the spirit world and used "Travel" to leave.
Alger stared at the corpses in front of him for a few seconds before realizing that he had to hand over the two corpses to the governor's office before the news of the "Tree of Flesh and Blood" ship being attacked spread, lest he be noticed helping to deal with the bounty and be targeted by the "Admiral of Blood."
...
Feynapotter Kingdom, Jeffery Territory.
Hobert came out of his room, as if he had just woken up.
He ordered Allen outside the door: "Go to the restaurant and bring breakfast to my room. The tableware should be wooden bowls or wooden plates. Do not use metal tableware or glassware."
He also said to Dennis: "Find some glue and paste a layer of paper on all the glass on the windows and doors. In this yard, anything reflective must be covered with a layer of paper."
Although Allen and Dennis found these orders a bit strange, they executed them without fail.
After eating breakfast, Hobert wrote a letter to "Vice Admiral Iceberg," summarizing the hunting process and results, and promised to give her 2000 pounds as a reward for providing information.
Then he entered the oil painting hall and smashed the wooden statues of the girls he saw in the restaurant, but of course he would keep the wooden statues of Senior and others intact.
After the letter was sent, the lord's mansion welcomed a special guest: Dophis!
With only a dozen days left until the wedding, Dophis was sent by Christian to arrange the wedding venue and arrange related matters.
Along with Dophis came hundreds of servants and wedding planners.
Hobert first asked Allen to arrange for these people to stay, and asked Dophis about the recent situation of his parents.
So all day long, Hobert was discussing the details of the wedding with Dophis. He didn't expect that a noble's wedding, even a baron's wedding, would be so cumbersome.
And on the wedding day, in addition to Christian, there will be three earls, seven viscounts, and a dozen barons to congratulate.
Dozens of merchants involved in arms and military supplies will also come.
Doing a good job of entertaining these people is another key point of the wedding.
Hobert thought that although many nobles and wealthy merchants would come on the wedding day, the reputation of Jeffery Territory would only spread in a small circle, which was far from enough!
While Hobert was thinking, it was already past seven in the evening, but he still had no way to expand his influence, so he could only prepare for the deal with the vampires first.
Hobert entered the "Nation of Disorder" and brought all the Beyonder characteristics to be sold tonight to the real world, and put them into small wooden boxes that had been prepared long ago.
Then put the small wooden boxes into a large box.
At 7:50, Hobert put on his mask and sprayed some perfume. The perfume bottle was also covered with paper in advance.
Carrying the suitcase, Hobert used "Travel" to come to Rose Street in Backlund.
Emlyn was already waiting here. He was slightly stunned when he saw Hobert's mask, because the "Traitor" had also worn the same mask: Could the "Traitor" also be a follower of the "Creator"?
He was just about to distinguish the smell of the person in front of him when he suddenly pinched his nose: "How much perfume did you spray?"
Hobert, who never wore perfume, suddenly wore perfume tonight to make Emlyn's sense of smell fail. Otherwise, this guy's nose is more sensitive than a dog's nose, and he can determine in minutes that the person in front of him is the "Traitor."
Hobert smiled: "This is my personal hobby."
Emlyn fanned in front of his nose: "Come with me."
He pointed to the tallest building around: "That is the Harvest Church."
Then he pointed to the opposite of the Harvest Church: "That is a clothing store, but I spent 5 pounds to rent it for one night. We can trade in it."
The clothing store owner who got the money was overjoyed. This was equivalent to a week and a half of his income, and he knew that Emlyn was a servant of the Harvest Church, so he didn't have to worry about the other party stealing his goods.
Hobert smiled: "After the transaction is completed, you will be equivalent to getting 500 pounds of remuneration. Please go in and put away the mirror first, otherwise this transaction will definitely be interrupted by accident."
Emlyn felt that this request was a bit strange, but he did it anyway.
After learning that the mirrors were put away, Hobert entered the clothing store. The two viscounts inside were standing and sitting. After Hobert entered the store, they looked at Hobert and frowned at the smell of perfume on Hobert's body.
Emlyn introduced: "This is Viscount Ernest, this is Viscount Ivan."
Then he introduced Hobert to the two viscounts: "This is a 'Creator' follower I met by chance at a gathering."
The three Sequence 5s simply nodded, as a greeting.
After the four people sat down in the reception area of the clothing store, Ernest asked: "We got the news that the 'Creator' severely damaged the 'Rose School' in the Southern Continent?"
Hobert smiled: "That was last year's news."
Ernest smiled and asked: "Did you participate in that battle?"
"No, I'm just a small soldier." Hobert smiled and said: "A small soldier responsible for selling stolen goods."
At this time, Ivan suddenly said: "It sounds like your accent is a relatively pure Backlund accent."
"Yes, my teacher is a Backlund gentleman." Hobert smiled and responded to their probing.
After chatting for a few words, Ernest and Ivan found that they could not get any information from Hobert's mouth. Ernest put the box next to him on the coffee table: "Okay, let's start trading."
Hobert also took out the suitcase in his hand and put it on the coffee table. To his surprise, Ernest and Ivan did not bargain.
But then he understood: The proud vampires never bargain.
The transaction was very smooth. Since he was a follower of the "Creator", the vampires would not do anything to Hobert.
And Hobert did not intend to do this business once, and believed that the vampires were allies that could be won over, so naturally he would not cheat in the transaction.
This time, a total of 7 "Vampire" Beyonder characteristics, two "Potion Professor" Beyonder characteristics, and one "Scarlet Scholar" Beyonder characteristic were sold.
According to the previous quotation, they were 2000 pounds, 4500 pounds and 10000 pounds respectively. In fact, Hobert's bottom line was 1600 pounds, 4200 pounds and 9500 pounds respectively. Since the other party did not bargain, he would naturally not reduce the price himself.
Hobert counted for a long time before he finally counted clearly that it was a total of 33,000 pounds. The money and goods were cleared, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.
Ernest smiled: "I hope our transactions can continue in the future. The vampires with a long history have enough wealth to buy all the Beyonder characteristics of the 'Primordial Moon' believers in your hands."
Hobert glanced at Emlyn out of the corner of his eye, and this guy also raised his chin: Do all vampires like to emphasize "long history" and "rich wealth"?
In Hobert's opinion, this seemed to be saying: My family has a vault, my family has antiques, and I have Beyonder characteristics! Come on!
While thinking wildly, Hobert smiled: "This time I felt your sincerity, and I will give you some discounts next time."
Ernest didn't seem to care too much about these: "I was thinking, if possible, can we establish a smooth communication mechanism? In fact, we are natural allies in dealing with the 'Rose School'."
Hobert nodded: "That's no problem. If there is anything, I will contact this Mr. Emlyn. He also knows which gatherings I often appear in and can find me."
Ernest and Ivan looked at each other. Of course, they could hear that Hobert meant: Among the vampires, he only trusted Emlyn.
After the transaction ended, Hobert left with the money box, and Ernest and Ivan went back to report as soon as possible. Emlyn stayed at the end and sprayed related potions to cover up the traces of their visit.
...
Feynapotter Kingdom, Jeffery Territory.
Hobert used "Travel" to return to his room and sacrificed the big box of pounds to the "Nation of Disorder."
Sitting on the "Iron Throne", looking at the pile of pounds, a smile climbed onto Hobert's face. Now he has more than 50,000 pounds in his hand, which is enough for the third batch of payment!
As for the first batch of building materials, Hobert "transported" out a lot to the construction site in the territory. Tonight, he mainly sprinkled the materials on the railway along the way.
The problem of transporting materials that was a headache for Scholar was solved by the "Creator."
As for the other building materials, I'll talk about it tomorrow.
Finally, Hobert glanced at the pool in front of him. Recently, there have been many more stars, all of whom are members of the Balk family.
If he encounters a member whose own state is not very good and who prays to get rid of the "out of control" state, Hobert will conveniently restore the order between their Beyonder characteristics and themselves, temporarily getting rid of the doom of out of control.
Just as he was about to leave the "Nation of Disorder", Hobert suddenly thought that if the princess of Feynapotter Kingdom came to attend his wedding and praised Jeffery Territory a few words, it should be explosive enough!
Hobert looked at the star representing Ethel and could use the identity of a follower of the "Creator" to send an invitation.
But Hobert did not act immediately, he wanted to think about it again.
...
Loen Kingdom, Conant City.
Late at night, an old man with an gloomy face looked at "Baran Fishing Company" and sneered. The next second, he turned into a shadow, avoided the police guarding here, and came to the conference room on the second floor.
The old man snapped his fingers, and a ball of dark flames ignited. He saw the sentence on the wall: "I found you, hehehe!"
The flame was fleeting, and the old man sneered: "What arrogant tone!"
Then he seemed to realize something and looked towards the office.
In the darkness, a lithe figure emerged from the office: "What a pity, Gale had such a great physique, to die just like that. There isn't a single useful man left in the Judgement Group."
The old man chuckled coldly: "You could go to the Church of the God of Combat in the Feysac Empire, if he doesn't try to sleep with you before arresting you."
The lithe figure laughed back: "What would an old man like you know about these pleasures?"
These were none other than the other two Vice-Leaders of the Judgement Group: Steven and Sandora.
Steven didn't continue the topic, but instead asked: "Did you find any clues?"
Sandora shook her head: "Even if there were clues, they were taken away by the 'Punishers'."
"Still can't divine anything, is it?"
"Yes, it seems to be the enemy we encountered in Backlund."
Steven frowned: "Strange, when did we make such an enemy?"
Sandora naturally had no way to answer this question: "No matter what, this is the biggest crisis the 'Judgement Group' has faced since its establishment!"
