Hobert didn't quite understand what the other party meant: "Is that a metaphor? Or do you really need a key to enter the 'Specter Empire' ship?"

Beecher glanced at Archibald again: "That's hard to explain."

Hobert said, "This is my companion. You can speak frankly in front of him."

The people here didn't recognize that the seemingly amiable middle-aged man had once come to this town, killed people, and snatched the slender-necked glass bottle they were guarding.

Although Beecher nodded, he said, "Some things can only be known by members of the family."

He added, "If you want to use the 'Empire' ship's key, you need the consent of all the 'Cabinet' members. The other four Cabinet members are waiting in the hall. Go and see them."

"Alright."

Beecher added, "But your friend has to stay here."

Hobert said to Archibald, "Wait here for a moment. I'll go and chat with the family members."

Archibald nodded and sat down on a stone bench not far away. Two members of the Trunsoest family were responsible for entertaining him, but also for monitoring him, of course.

Beecher and two other family members led Hobert into the town.

Hobert curiously pointed to the fruits on the surrounding trees and asked, "Are these fruits edible?"

"This is our food. We call them Hundred-Flavor Fruits." With Archibald not around, Beecher seemed much more relaxed: "It looks like only one kind of fruit, but you only know the flavor after cutting it open."

"There's bread flavor, steak flavor, potato flavor, and even red wine flavor."

Hobert exclaimed, "That's amazing."

This reminded him of the plant as large as a small mountain on the Midseashire coast. These Hundred-Flavor Fruits, that large plant, and the plants outside with strange states, were obviously all products of the Earth Mother's power.

Hobert asked again, "The location of this town seems very stable, with a clear difference from the outside space. Why is it so special here?"

He added, "If there's any secret that can't be explained, just pretend I didn't ask."

"There's no need to hide it from you." Beecher said, "This space is equivalent to a 'concealed space' created by a Sealed Artifact."

The badge Hobert inherited was enough to gain the trust of the Trunsoest family members, so they would truthfully answer some questions.

At this time, they arrived in front of a large, asymmetrical building. The left side of the building was semicircular, while the right side was square.

Beecher said at the door, "A foreigner from Saint Andrea City is holding the Trunsoest family badge and has successfully activated it with spirituality."

"He has a request, so I brought him here."

The door was opened from the inside. The person who opened the door was a woman in her forties with the Trunsoest family's signature bronze hair. She glanced at Hobert: "Come in."

Hobert followed Beecher into the door and saw a long, unpainted solid wood table in the spacious hall. At the head of the long table sat three elders also wearing asymmetrical robes.

The one at the very top had white hair and looked very old.

Hobert bowed slightly to them: "Greetings, elders."

The three elders all stood up and nodded. One of them said, "Greetings to you too."

The female Cabinet member who opened the door earlier had a good impression of this polite young man: "Please, sit down."

So Hobert thanked her and sat at the lower end of the long table.

Beecher first briefly introduced Hobert and then introduced the members of the Cabinet to Hobert. The oldest man sitting at the top was "Prime Minister" Abbott.

The other four members, including Beecher, were called "Ministers." The only female "Minister" was named Quinna.

After everyone sat down, "Prime Minister" Abbott asked, "How many demigod-level members do you have now?"

"Five."

"What Sequence are they?"

"Two Sequence 3s and three Sequence 4s."

The old man nodded: "The same as us."

Then he asked, "Your Grade 0 Sealed Artifact hasn't been lost, has it?"

"No."

"That's good." The old man sighed: "I never thought that I would be able to learn about the situation of our clan in my lifetime."

Quinna asked, "How did you get here?"

"With the help of a mysterious being, I used the Eternal Blazing Sun's related power here to enter." Hobert told the truth, but only mentioned it briefly.

Everyone didn't pursue the "mysterious being," but Quinna continued to ask: "Then how did you find this place?"

Regarding this point, Hobert and Archibald had already agreed on a statement in advance: "My companion and I have been wandering in the ruins for a long time. We entered a black palace to hide and encountered a strange 'white villa' before finally arriving here."

Beecher said, "Fortunately, you and your companion are both Sequence 3s. Otherwise, it would have been dangerous for you alone to encounter the three-headed monster in the palace."

Hobert didn't elaborate but said, "Yes, we worked together to drive it back."

"Try not to get close to the palace or the temple not far from there." Quinna suddenly reminded, "There are more difficult monsters to deal with underground there."

"I understand." Hobert sincerely said, "Thank you for your reminder."

Beecher said, "As for that 'white villa,' we also encounter it often. It's very difficult to deal with. We've besieged it several times, but we haven't been able to kill it."

At this moment, many thoughts suddenly flashed through Hobert's mind. First of all, he thought that not everyone could exploit the "white villa's" bug like him.

Then he realized that his use of the "Black Emperor" pathway abilities was also outstanding among Beyonders of the same pathway. In addition to his own "talent" as a transmigrator, Rex's notes gave him tremendous help, helping him analyze the abilities of the "Frenzied Mage" clearly.

The most direct manifestation was that if Hobert could command four demigod-level Beyonders, the five of them would definitely be able to kill that "white villa."

In fact, two people would be enough to serve as the main attackers, and the remaining three demigods would be responsible for dealing with other demigod-level monsters that were attracted, at most just providing support.

These thoughts flashed through Hobert's mind, and he continued, "At that time, we were about to hide under the big tree full of fruits outside to avoid the twilight, but we suddenly saw Beecher appear."

Abbott said, "That's because the explosion you just made was likely to awaken a terrible monster in the ruins."

As he spoke, he glanced at Beecher.

Beecher immediately said, "That monster was indeed looking for the source of the explosion, but it didn't completely wake up."

Abbott "hmmed" and said, "That's good."

Hobert asked, "What kind of monster is that?"

Quinna replied, "According to our observation, it should be a monster formed after an angel of the Death pathway died or was affected by the power of the gods here."

Hobert was stunned: "This… Why would there be an angel of the Death pathway here?"

This question stunned everyone present. Beecher was the first to react and explained to everyone: "Because of the curse, some ancient family histories that were not suitable for recording were not passed down among Hobert's clansmen."

Hobert noticed the other party's wording: Family histories that were not suitable for recording!

The others either nodded or "ohhed," all understanding Beecher's meaning.

So Abbott asked, "You should know that our Trunsoest family was once a noble family of the Solomon Empire, right?"

Hobert nodded: "I know. I also know that our ancestors secretly contacted the Six Gods and obtained the opportunity to continue advancing."

He said this really to put gold on the face of the Trunsoest family, because that was actually a betrayal!

"I understand that you are not clear about which information." Abbott continued to explain, "In our orally transmitted family history, the Solomon Empire at that time was at its peak. There were more than a dozen noble families at the level of angel families alone!

"'Rose Redemption' and the True Creator Church, as well as two Kings of Angels and three Angels."

Hobert slowly nodded. In the Fourth Epoch, it seemed that all the angel families, except for Adam and Amon, had served the Solomon Empire.

And the two "Kings of Angels" of "Rose Redemption" were Medici and Ouroboros, those were "real" Kings of Angels.

Abbott asked slowly, "How much do you know about the angel families that supported Solomon?"

Hobert replied, "I know most of them, including Trunsoest, Tudor, Abraham, Antigonus, Zaratul, Zoroast, Jacob, as well as Sauron and Einhorn.

"Oh, and Castiya and Augustus."

Abbott nodded: "There are also the Stiano and Constantine families. It is said that Old Tamara was also deeply trusted by Solomon and was the chief intelligence officer of the empire."

Hobert was stunned: "Stiano?"

The old man explained: "That is the later 'God of Craftsmen'."

Hobert looked surprised! He didn't expect that the "God of Craftsmen"... no, He hadn't become a god at that time! He didn't expect that He had supported the Solomon Empire! But why hasn't he received relevant information?

Then Hobert thought: It's no wonder I don't know about this. After the "God of Steam and Machinery" became a god, he would definitely erase the traces of standing on the wrong team. After all, the true gods are just, and Solomon, who was killed by them, is evil.

A just god certainly cannot be a member of the evil camp. It's no wonder that he later needed the recognition of the six gods for his status as a true god, because they were once enemies, and if the God of Steam and Machinery wanted to join the enemy, he had to lower his stance.

Hobert thought again: Perhaps in the battle of the Holy Land of Xidro, the God of Steam and Machinery saw the strength of the Six Gods camp, and then decided to lean towards them. Later, he first supported Trunsoest, and then participated in the battle of the Pale Era, assisting in defeating the Underworld Emperor and the Primordial Demoness, and finally completely whitewashed himself.

Thinking of this, he asked: "Then, who is Constantine?"

To Hobert's surprise, Abbott replied: "I don't know."

"Don't know?" Hobert asked, "Is it that mysterious?"

"Several angel families disappeared after the battle in the Holy Land of Xidro City at that time." Abbott explained: "During the Fourth Epoch, some people speculated that those angel families were simply impersonated by some big figures.

"For example, many people think that Constantine was one of the angels of the demon family, and some people speculate that it was the later 'Chained God', or the subordinate of the 'Chained God'.

"Their reputation was not very good during the Fourth Epoch, so they gave themselves a new surname and became the great nobles of that time."

Hobert nodded slowly, which was very likely.

Then he thought: Then the strength of the Solomon Empire back then was stronger than he imagined. Whether it was the "Chained God" or the demon family, they were powerful helpers at that time.

Abbott continued: "In addition, you should be clear about the strength of the Abraham family. They were the dukes of the Solomon Empire, and they supported... to be precise, they supported the True Creator.

"But I'm not very clear about why they supported him."

Hobert thought: The characteristics of the "Door" pathway first appeared in Tianzun, and later most of the characteristics were obtained by the "Phoenix Ancestor", and then the Ancient Sun God defeated the "Phoenix Ancestor", and should also have obtained some Beyonder characteristics of the "Door" pathway. Could it be that the Ancient Sun God established a connection with Mr. "Door" because of these characteristics? And this kind of connection has been maintained until the Fourth Epoch?

During the Fourth Epoch, Mr. "Door", who was only one step away from being a true god, should have a position only lower than Solomon.

The old man Abbott finally said: "Back then, the True Creator vaguely sensed the intentions of the Six Gods, and let the forces of the Underworld Emperor and the Demoness Sect also provide support, so there will be angels of the Death pathway here."

Huff~

Hobert let out a long breath. These two "reinforcements" were not surprising.

In that case, the strength of the True Creator camp was not weak back then. The true gods included the True Creator, Solomon, and the Underworld Emperor. The Kings of Angels included at least Mr. "Door" Abraham, Ouroboros, Medici, and he didn't know whether Stiano and Cheek had become Kings of Angels at that time?

Hobert thought about it and quickly came to the conclusion: The former is unlikely. He seems to have not digested the Sequence 1 potion before directly advancing to a true god. The latter has a certain possibility.

In short, this camp is one level higher than Hobert had previously imagined. Before, Hobert thought that the Six Gods camp had an overwhelming advantage. Now it seems that the pressure on the Six Gods camp was not small.

But thinking about it, this is also more reasonable. If the pressure was not great enough, the Six Gods would not be able to unite!

This also explains why the Holy Land of Xidro City became the "God War Ruins" in the Northern Continent. If there was an overwhelming advantage, the God War should have ended quickly, and this city would not have sunk into the sea because of the battle of the gods.

After thinking about this, Hobert said: "I understand."

Then he asked: "Besides that monster at the angel level of the Death pathway, are there any other monsters of this level here?"

"When we first came here, we originally planned to do a systematic exploration." Abbott replied: "But later we realized that this was too dangerous and might bring disaster to the habitat, so we only explored part of the city.

"In these explorations, two angel-level monsters were discovered.

"Because we couldn't observe them up close, we didn't know whether they had turned into evil spirits after their death? Or whether they were in a very strange state due to the influence of the God War and could not leave here?"

Hobert nodded. He made up his mind that if he became an angel or Sequence 1 in the future, he would definitely come here again to harvest the Beyonder characteristics here. For him, this is simply a treasure! He also didn't know why the righteous god church didn't come to harvest?

After thinking for a while, Hobert roughly understood that after the Solomon Empire was destroyed, the six gods, who were not very united in the first place, must have fallen into infighting again.

And if you want to enter here, you either need the help of a god, or like the Trunsoest family, you have to find a "backdoor" here.

In an environment where the six gods are not united, they will never allow people from other churches to enter here.

This is like Xidro City having a treasure known to everyone in the Northern Continent. If only one god knew about it, he would secretly excavate it, but in the situation where all six gods know about it, a kind of balance has been formed instead, and no one wants to come in.

Thinking of this, Hobert asked again: "May I ask how you came in? To be honest, after studying a lot of information, I still spent a lot of effort when entering this city."

It was Beecher who answered him: "First of all, our common ancestor Trunsoest knew the location of the Holy Land of Xidro City. After he became a god, he had a subtle connection with his territory and obtained clues to enter here.

"So in the early stage of the Four Emperors War, he sent people to secretly explore this city, but in order to avoid being noticed by the Six Gods about this secret operation, the family did not send too much power to do a large-scale exploration, but only established a stable passage in and out of here.

"At that time, the power of the God of Combat was used to echo the twilight outside to a certain extent, and it was possible to enter a location not far from the town at dusk."

Hobert "Oh"ed and asked again: "Did you use the sealed artifact to build this 'concealed space' after escaping here?"

"No, this concealed space already existed." Beecher said: "We just eliminated all the monsters inside and then settled down here."

"I see." Hobert said again: "After I heard about your duties just now, I suddenly remembered that I also encountered a thin-necked glass bottle outside. It seemed to be filled with some magical mist. I wonder if the bottle you are guarding is the same as that one?"

This time it was Abbott and the others who were surprised. Several people exchanged glances, and Abbott asked: "Where did you see it? Who is its owner?"

"At sea." Hobert answered truthfully: "Its owner is an outer god's avatar. I strongly suspect that it was a thin-necked glass bottle once held by the Tamara family."

Abbott nodded: "That's very possible. It is said that the main duty of the Tamara family back then was to use a thin-necked glass bottle to find a lamp for Solomon."

Hobert also understood: Tamara came into contact with the "Uncertain Mist" in the early Fourth Epoch.

Then, Abbott sighed: "We have guarded that glass bottle for more than a thousand years. According to the instructions of our ancestors, there are clues to obtaining power stronger than gods inside.

"But what we didn't expect was that since September last year, that bottle seems to have become more active, and it has quietly corrupted a 'Minister'."

"Because we know that glass bottles pose certain dangers and corruption to us, we have set up a barrier supported by bloodlines. Unless all five cabinet members agree, one can cross the barrier and come into contact with the glass bottle. Otherwise, members of the Trunsoest family cannot touch the glass bottle at all."

"However, that 'Minister' used us during a sacrificial ceremony and attracted an outsider. Using some rules of the barrier, he helped that outsider come into contact with the glass bottle and take it away."

"We quickly chased after them with all our might, and we did find the glass bottle, but the mist inside was already very thin. We don't know if it can still be used."

"As for that outsider, we cannot divine any information about him."

Hobert noticed that the active time of the "glass bottle" was in September of last year, which was when he first entered the "Nation of Disorder."

It is likely that this stimulated the glass bottle and made it active!

Combining Archibald's description, Hobert had a comprehensive understanding of the whole thing. Archibald was also used. The "Minister" deliberately led him here.

After Archibald realized he was being corrupted, he immediately threw away the "glass bottle", but Abbot and the others caught up and brought him back.

Because Archibald himself has a strong anti-divination ability, he was not found by the Trunsoest family members.

Hobert was very clear about what happened next.

In order to transfer the corruption of the "Uncertain Mist", Archibald quietly controlled Boklun Manor, and in the process, transferred part of the corruption to Selena's family.

The most core power of that glass bottle has been hidden in Selena's sister-in-law's body, and after making enough preparations, it was finally born two months ago. This is the little boy, Erebus!

As for the glass bottle brought back by the Trunsoest family, because it lost its main power, the mist inside became very thin and may be useless.

However, because Abbot and the others did not invite Hobert to check the glass bottle, Hobert did not intend to tell them his guess for the time being.

Hobert continued along this topic: "I am relatively unfamiliar with that glass bottle. If I have the opportunity, I will help you seize the glass bottle from the Tamara family."

He paused and then said: "This is also the reason why I came to you. I have seen in some family materials that under the influence of the Six Gods, the Trunsoest family and the Tamara family have become mortal enemies."

"Recently, we have had a large-scale conflict with the Tamara family, but they have mastered the 'Black Emperor', and we are not their opponents at sea, so we can only look for the 'Specter Empire' to fight against the 'Black Emperor'."

"I hope I can get your help to find the 'Empire'. You can set some conditions for this, but the premise is that I have the ability to meet your conditions."

Everyone looked at Abbot. The old man considered it for a moment and then said: "The Tamara family is our common enemy. According to some of our records, Mr. Valentine, our family's angel, died in a despicable sneak attack by Tamara."

"We will provide you with the key to enter the 'Empire'. At that time, there were two such keys, one in the hands of Duke Southville and one in Backlund."

"When the great Night Emperor suddenly fell, we took away the key from Backlund."

"As long as you get the trace of the 'Empire', use the ability of 'Connection' at a certain distance, you should be able to find it."

Hobert was also very familiar with that Duke of Southville. The Duke's former residence was the ancient courtyard where Hobert and Mr. Azik explored together, and the underground structure contained the corpse of an ancient death god.

The old man paused and then said: "But I want to remind you that the 'Empire' has been cursed by the Underworld Emperor. No living person can get close to it, and even angels may fall under the powerful curse."

"It is said that the Fourth Epoch thought of many ways, but failed to lift the curse. Relevant information records that only after the Underworld Emperor falls can there be a chance to save Duke Southville and the others."

"Unfortunately, His Majesty the Night Emperor fell first."

He sighed a long sigh, as if lamenting the history more than a thousand years ago: "According to the information left by the family, after the Underworld Emperor falls, the curse on the ship will be greatly weakened, but for Beyonders below the angel level, it is still very dangerous there!"

"Thank you for your reminder." Hobert asked: "Does the information mention how to lift the curse?"

"The information only leaves one way." Abbot said: "That is for the Underworld Emperor to lift it himself."

Hobert smiled helplessly: "That is obviously impossible."

However, he could try to pray to the Evernight Goddess and ask her to use the uniqueness of the "Death" pathway to help lift the curse.

But then he felt that this prayer should not be too abrupt. He should say that he got the news from Klein, knowing that the Goddess had a Sealed Artifact of the "Death" pathway in her hand, so he tried to pray for the relevant power.

As for whether Klein would be punished by the Evernight Goddess, that was another matter.

However, Hobert guessed that the probability of being punished was not high, after all, the Evernight Goddess did not intend to keep it a secret.

Hobert asked while thinking wildly: "How should I thank you?"

"It would be best if we could get the Tamara family's slender-necked glass bottle." Abbot and others were very worried that if the Night Emperor returned, he would ask them for the glass bottle, and if they really only gave the Night Emperor a glass bottle at that time, it would seriously affect the Night Emperor's plan.

He said: "If you don't get it, it doesn't matter. Just come and tell us the results after the battle is over."

"I will do my best." Hobert said seriously.

I will definitely try my best to kill Trunsoest. By then, no one will care about the glass bottle.

Then Hobert said: "It seems that a lot of our family's information has been lost. Can I read your treasured information here?"

"Yes!" Abbot agreed very readily: "Let Beecher take you there."

Then he said to Kuna: "Go and tell the clansmen that this outsider is one of us and there is no danger."

Hobert sincerely thanked him, and then followed Beecher to a small, asymmetrical building. Inside, there was an asymmetrical table, one side trapezoidal and the other rectangular.

Around it were two bookshelves, all filled with hardcover books.

Hobert opened one of them, which was full of handwritten fonts. Rather than calling them books, they were more like notes that had been Finished many times.

It recorded a large amount of cultural and economic information from the Fourth Epoch, and there was also a lot of information about the extraordinary world.

For example, between the Third Epoch and the Fourth Epoch, there were several decades that belonged to the transition period of the two Epochs. Without the existence of the Ancient Sun God, the Northern Continent fell into chaos. One powerful Beyonder after another quickly established control over some areas by force.

Many angel families rose at that time.

Hobert sighed. This was historical data preserved from the Fourth Epoch to the present. The degree of its preciousness can be imagined, enough to make that ancient history very full.

These materials are particularly detailed about the fall of the Solomon Empire and the history of the early stages of the Four Emperors War. Hobert even saw a detailed description of Beverly's death in battle.

In addition, it also recorded a large number of battles with Adam and Amon. Of course, the name Adam did not appear in the records, but a pseudonym was used. However, according to the relevant description, Hobert could be sure that what was described in the information was Adam.

This is equivalent to demonstrating in front of Hobert how the "Black Emperor" pathway and the "Justiciar" pathway deal with the "Spectator" and Marauder pathways.

Later, there was also the process of Megali's fall, which was similar to Trunsoest's description.

Although most of the records were either understood by Hobert or would not be used in the near future, he still read them with relish.

Hobert summarized that there were three pieces of information that were currently very useful.

The first is the record of the location of the nine mausoleums built by Tudor, and there is a very detailed description of how to enter them.

Different from Hobert's impression that the blood of Beyonders from 22 pathways is needed, it is possible to enter the mausoleum by "using" some arrangements of Mr. "Door" back then.

However, it requires the blood of a demigod of the "Door" pathway, and at least Sequence 3 level "Tamper" or "Exile."

Hobert studied it carefully. In fact, this is using the peculiarity of the extraordinary power of the "Door" pathway to confuse Mr. "Door's" arrangement back then.

Hobert carefully memorized the location of the tomb and the way to enter it. Soon this information will be of great use.

The second very useful piece of information is the description of the " Specter Empire," or rather, the description of that Underworld Emperor trap.

This will be of great help to Hobert's next actions.

The third piece of information is about "Night Emperor" Trunsoest's description of the thin-necked glass bottle. It is said that for a period of time, Trunsoest always carried the glass bottle with him.

But after that period of time, Trunsoest ordered the bottle to be sealed.

According to the court records at the time, Trunsoest's description of his own behavior was: "If this bottle is not sealed, the powerful force of mutual fusion between us can easily awaken Him, and I currently have no way to prevent Him from waking up."

Originally, Hobert thought that Trunsoest was talking about awakening an Outer God, but he immediately felt that something was wrong, because the relevant description was not long before Trunsoest's fall.

It is possible that it was precisely because He was already mentally confused that he described the reason for sealing the glass bottle, otherwise, He would not have needed to explain his behavior to his subordinates at all.

At this time, the "Uncertain Mist" had already polluted Trunsoest, and there was no reason to still be afraid of awakening the "Uncertain Mist."

Therefore, Hobert believes that this "He" is someone else.

Moreover, Hobert is very interested in the "mutually fusing power" between Trunsoest and this bottle. He wonders if he can put Trunsoest into the glass bottle.

At that time, he would hold up the glass bottle: "Trunsoest, if I call your name, do you dare to answer?"

Thinking of this, Hobert smiled slightly.

In theory, it is about ten o'clock in the evening, but outside it is still dawn, as if the sun could rise at any moment.

Perhaps because of Kuna's explanation, the houses in this town are now open, and many people are whispering about Hobert, and the children are also staring at Hobert with curious eyes.

Hobert greeted them, but received no response.

Beecher smiled and said, "Prolonged seclusion has made everyone more shy."

Hobert said, "If I come here more often in the future, everyone will get to know me."

He returned to the previous room again, but only Abbott was here. He handed Hobert a wooden box containing a crystal key.

Recalling the relevant information he had just seen, this key is equivalent to an identity verification, allowing one to enter the "Empire" at any time, and it also has the authority to open the captain's cabin, which means that the person carrying this key has the opportunity to become the master of the "Empire."

Hobert thanked him again and reunited with Archibald, who was waiting outside the town. Beecher sent them out of the town and taught them how to leave here.

When entering, the required condition is that it needs to be dusk outside.

But getting out of here is not so troublesome. As long as you use the Trunsoest family's emblem in a specific location, you can open the secret passage set up during the Fourth Epoch.

Now the Saint Andrea City is in darkness, which is relatively safer.

Hobert followed Beecher's instructions and successfully opened the passage. After saying goodbye to Beecher again, Hobert and Archibald left the passage together.

In the passage, Hobert saw the bronze-colored eyes that Archibald mentioned.

Hobert had also seen the process of establishing this passage in the materials. This bronze-colored eye is just a symbolic symbol, because the power of the God of Combat was used back then. In order to prevent it from being detected by the God of Combat, the power of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom was used to cover it up.

That eye looked like a fossil or a very beautiful rock dug out while digging a tunnel. It didn't seem to possess any life characteristics.

But Hobert felt that if the God of Knowledge and Wisdom was willing, He should be able to use this eye to observe the situation in the passage.

Soon they came to the other side of the passage. It was already late at night outside, and the location outside was exactly where Hobert and Archibald had been wandering repeatedly this afternoon.

Using "Traveling" to return to Backlund, in the study of the Earl's mansion, Hobert took out the only Beyonder characteristic he obtained from this operation:

"This Beyonder characteristic is very useful to me. I would like to trade something else with you for all of your ownership of the other half of this trophy."

"No," Archibald refused, "I promised you a long time ago that I would look for Saint Andrea City with you. This time it's purely to help, and I don't want any trophies."

That was Archibald's pledge of allegiance to join the "Creator" faction.

Hobert was also not polite: "Thank you for your help, otherwise I might never have found that city."

After seeing Archibald off, Hobert sacrificed the Beyonder characteristic of the "Earl of the Fallen" to the "Nation of Disorder". With this characteristic, he could consider cultivating a demigod.

Hobert sat in the chair and thought about it. The first person he thought of was of course Eliot, after all, his loyalty to the "Creator" was very high.

The only problem is that he has not completely digested the "Mentor of Disorder" potion yet, and he may have to wait until the end of the year or the beginning of next year to advance.

He will not consider other people for the time being, and he can no longer give it to the Balk family, otherwise, the Sequence 4 Beyonder characteristic will seem very cheap.

In addition, he now has two "Imperative Mage" Beyonder characteristics, and he should also consider letting Angus advance.

Becoming an official Beyonder makes the digestion of the "Judge" and "Disciplinary Knight" potions very fast. It is possible that by October, Angus will be able to digest the potion.

By then, Hobert will have his own cultivated demigod.

Finally, Hobert took the crystal key he had just obtained from the Trunsoest family, which reminded him of when he learned from Beecher's casual chat that they also had a Grade 0 sealed artifact, and it was taken from Backlund, not obtained in Saint Andrea City.

This made Hobert sigh again at the wealth of the Trunsoest family. Trunsoest was the winner in the first half of the Four Emperors War.

At that time, the family had more sealed artifacts than a single orthodox god church.

Like the Solomon family, Hobert knew that there was only one Grade 0 sealed artifact, and it had become his trophy.

The Tudor family was the most miserable. None of the three families had a Grade 0 sealed artifact, but there was an angel in poor condition, which made up for the lack of sealed artifacts.

Hobert was just about to use the crystal key to immediately search for the "Specter Empire."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Hobert put away the crystal key: "Come in."

Dophis opened the door and said: "Allen came to you around five o'clock in the afternoon, saying that there was an urgent matter."

Hobert was stunned and immediately got up: "Okay, I'll go over right away."

It has already been six hours.

He used "Traveling" to come to the lord's mansion in South Colson and found Allen, who was still waiting in front of the "Traveler's Gate."

Only after asking did he know that Archbishop Simpson had an urgent matter to see Hobert.

Hobert suddenly had a bad feeling and used the ability of "Distortion" to quickly come to the church on the mountain.

The door of the church was open, and the oil lamps inside were also lit.

Hobert entered the church and sure enough saw Simpson waiting on the seat.

After seeing Hobert, Simpson, who had a kind face, said with rare seriousness: "We can't help you refine a body."

Hobert frowned slightly: "Your church's high-level officials have given my offer…"

"No, no, no." Simpson interrupted him: "It's not that they are not satisfied with the reward you gave, but that we don't have this ability."

This surprised Hobert somewhat: "Doesn't even Sequence 3 in the church have this ability?"

Simpson swallowed: "Even the church's angels don't have this ability!"
