Hobert began by asking the question that had long been on his mind: "How did the curse of the Trunsoest family come about?"
"Don't misunderstand, not all descendants of the Trunsoest family suffer from the curse," Trunsoest said with a smile. "Only my descendants and Auernia's descendants carry this curse."
Hobert raised a hand and conjured a stone chair for Trunsoest. "Please sit, let's talk slowly and in detail."
Trunsoest sat down, seemingly without any intention of hiding anything from Hobert. "Where do you want to start hearing about this?"
"From the very beginning, of course," Hobert said.
After a few words, Trunsoest's voice became increasingly mellow and pleasant, and he always wore a smile. "Let me think.
"I first learned about the concept of the Outer Deities from some fragmented words of Solomon. Later, Adam showed me the second Blasphemy Slate, which gave me a complete understanding of the Outer Deities."
Hobert then asked, "Wasn't Adam always an opponent of the Trunsoest Empire?"
"You think Adam was showing me the 'Blasphemy Slate' out of kindness?" Trunsoest gave a cold smile. "It was after seeing the 'Blasphemy Slate' that I had a falling out with the Six Gods in order to become a Great Old One."
Hobert hummed in understanding; that made sense.
"Around the time I became the 'Prince of Abolition', I discovered a paradox," Trunsoest continued. "To become a Great Old One, one must enter the 'Nation of Disorder', and to enter the 'Nation of Disorder', one must obtain the help of the 'Uncertain Mist'."
He explained, "In the Fourth Epoch, the barrier of the Oldest One to the outer deities was not as weak as it is now. At that time, the only way to enter the 'Nation of Disorder' was to use the connection between the 'Uncertain Mist' and the 'Nation of Disorder'.
"But once you come into contact with the 'Uncertain Mist', you will inevitably be affected by it and suffer very serious corruption.
"And the 'Nation of Disorder' is also a serious source of corruption for the gods.
"The 'Black Emperor' and the 'Justiciar' both face this paradox. To become a Great Old One, one must face this corruption. Having undergone this corruption, it is difficult to become a normal Great Old One."
Hobert seized the opportunity to ask, "Other Great Old Ones don't have this problem?"
"Some do, but not all," Trunsoest said. "For example, the corruption of the Celestial Worthy to the 'Fool' is almost negligible, but there is some corruption to the 'Error', and a considerable amount of corruption to the 'Door'.
"Similarly, the 'River of Eternal Darkness' has negligible corruption to the 'Death', some corruption to the 'Darkness', and a considerable amount of corruption to the 'Twilight Giant'.
"So, if 'Darkness' and 'Twilight Giant' want to merge with the Sefirah, they must obtain the uniqueness of the 'Death' pathway. To merge with the Sefirah, they must also have a similar operation."
Hobert nodded and said, "Oh. Then why didn't Mr. 'Door' and Amon kill Antigonus in the Fourth Epoch and obtain the uniqueness of the 'Fool'?"
Trunsoest didn't seem surprised that Hobert knew so much secret history. He smiled and said, "That's because in the Fourth Epoch, the consciousness of the Celestial Worthy was still very strong. They used Antigonus to conduct experiments. As long as they became gods, the Celestial Worthy would immediately awaken within them.
"So, although Abraham accommodated the uniqueness and successively consumed three Sequence 1 characteristics, he never completed the godhood ritual."
Hobert nodded. After hearing what Trunsoest said, he seemed to recall that during the Fourth Epoch, the consciousness of the "Original Creator", that is to say, the "God Almighty" of the Second Epoch, seemed to be still very strong.
That's why Adam dragged on until recently to advance to "Visionary".
Trunsoest continued the topic of the "paradox" just now: "Only the 'Black Emperor' and the 'Justiciar' are exceptions. No matter which pathway, they will be corrupted by the 'Nation of Disorder', so the first thing I had to do was to break this paradox!
"So, I found Auernia to seek cooperation, on the condition that she become the Empress and the Sanguine become the great nobles of the Northern Continent!
"She helped me transform the spirituality and body of my descendants, so that our descendants are very similar to me in both body and spirituality."
Hobert frowned and asked, "What is the purpose of doing this?"
Trunsoest smiled and said, "You'll know in a moment."
He said: "With such an arrangement, I began to look for the way Solomon used to contact the 'Uncertain Mist'.
"The 'Uncertain Mist' has also always wanted to penetrate into the barrier. We almost hit it off immediately. I performed a cumbersome ritual to obtain a very small part of its essential power.
"Soon, I used the 'Uncertain Mist' to find a way to enter the 'Nation of Disorder', but I was also affected by the 'Uncertain Mist' and searched everywhere for the sealed 'Son of Chaos'."
Trunsoest paused and then said: "How to enter the 'Nation of Disorder' is a complex process. You certainly can't bring the 'Uncertain Mist' in, otherwise it will immediately control this place.
"So, I thought of using the power of the 'Son of Chaos', after my 'processing', to fight against the 'Uncertain Mist', so as to obtain a short opportunity to enter the 'Nation of Disorder'.
"As I expected, after entering the 'Nation of Disorder', I was immediately subjected to deep-level corruption, but as long as I enter here, my purpose is achieved.
"I re-established some rules here to make the 'Nation of Disorder' acceptable to my spirituality and body, but such changes cannot be completed overnight, and my corruption is irreversible.
"So, after leaving a mark in the 'Nation of Disorder', I let the 'Uncertain Mist' completely corrupt me, and began to try to destroy the Celestial Worthy's seal on the 'Son of Chaos'. I also prepared a grand sacrificial ceremony to receive more power from the 'Uncertain Mist'.
"The Six Gods joined forces to kill me, and in this way, my first goal was achieved."
Hobert finally understood: No wonder I have never been corrupted by the "Nation of Disorder". It turns out that Trunsoest once re-established the rules here.
Then he asked strangely: "Why didn't you commit suicide?"
"Because of the influence of the 'Uncertain Mist' and the 'Nation of Disorder', I didn't have much sanity at the time, and I couldn't control my power at all," Trunsoest said:
"Of course, more importantly, have you ever heard of a god committing suicide? At the level of a True God, one's own divinity does not allow the god to commit suicide so easily."
Hobert nodded, recalling some of the information he had obtained before. Trunsoest was indeed a little crazy before his fall, and now he personally admitted that he was the True God who once wanted to destroy the "Genie".
He clearly remembered that the "Genie" had never been obtained by the orthodox church, but a True God had tried to destroy it.
Then Hobert also thought that Roselle had built his mausoleum and jumped to the "Black Emperor" pathway, but did not choose to commit suicide immediately to "wash away" the madness, apparently for the same reason.
Trunsoest continued: "After I was killed, my previous arrangement with Auernia began to work. Soon, my consciousness awakened in your bloodline."
Hobert was a little strange: "How did you do this?"
"This is not difficult for the 'Justiciar'," Trunsoest said. "I can stipulate that my divinity and humanity slowly flow to individuals who are very similar to my spirituality and body.
"And stipulate that after my main consciousness dies, these consciousnesses scattered in the bloodline will become the main consciousness.
"So my consciousness can survive in this bloodline, and gradually condense, gradually forming a relatively complete consciousness.
"At the same time, the moment one of you descendants becomes a Sequence 2 angel, I can become incredibly powerful along with the divinity and be resurrected in the body of the advance.
"The so-called family curse is just a side effect of this plan, because I can't control the consciousness scattered in the bloodline. These consciousnesses will unconsciously tell some history of the Fourth Epoch, or the glory of the Trunsoest Empire.
"The Six Gods Church seems to be aware of this, so even now, more than a thousand years later, they are still actively hunting down the descendants of the Trunsoest family."
Hobert had made similar guesses before, and now he sneered in his heart after verification: After becoming a True God, there is really no humanity!
He asked: "Then why didn't you remind your descendants to make some preparations in advance? I heard that after your fall, the Trunsoest family was besieged by the Six Gods Church and some angel families and lost most of its power.
"Your empress and the Sanguine also suffered heavy losses. It seems that even now, many people are still very weak due to the injuries caused back then."
Trunsoest was silent for a few seconds before saying: "Auernia is a good wife. After I became a True God, she still gave me a lot of humanity.
"However, after being affected by the 'Uncertain Mist', I became very irrational, and I once couldn't tell whether I was Trunsoest or the 'Uncertain Mist'.
"Not only did I not remind them, but I also forgot to use the 'Nation of Disorder' to mark the uniqueness of the 'Black Emperor' pathway."
He said: "Originally, I planned to use the 'Nation of Disorder' to also mark the 'Black Emperor' uniqueness that I had already obtained at that time, so that I could quickly find it after I was completely resurrected.
"And if others want to use the 'Black Emperor's' uniqueness to become gods, they will be corrupted by the 'Nation of Disorder' the moment they accommodate the uniqueness.
"However, I later discovered that I had not done any of these things."
Hobert nodded. It seemed that the corruption Trunsoest suffered at that time was already very serious, and he had even basically lost himself.
He thought of a new question: "If you become the 'Black Emperor', wouldn't this operation be simpler? You can 'wash away' all the corruption by resurrecting once, and just wait for the 'Nation of Disorder' to change."
But Trunsoest said: "The resurrection of the 'Black Emperor' is not omnipotent. I deeply doubt whether such a resurrection can wash away the corruption of the 'Uncertain Mist'."
Hobert was stunned: That's right. During Roselle's resurrection, he was instantly corrupted by the "Mother Goddess of Depravity" again. This method seems to be able to wash away the extra Beyonder characteristics and madness, but it cannot wash away the corruption at the level of the Outer Deities.
Then he realized a problem: "Then why can our family only choose the 'Black Emperor' pathway? According to the truth, shouldn't we only be able to choose the 'Justiciar' pathway?"
"There are two reasons," Trunsoest replied: "First, the Trunsoest family has always been a family based on the 'Black Emperor' pathway. I had to switch to the 'Justiciar' pathway.
"So, becoming a Beyonder of the 'Black Emperor' pathway represents pure blood.
"The second is the influence of the 'Uncertain Mist'. He noticed my intention, but his ability to descend is very limited, and he can only make some subtle changes.
"In order to increase the difficulty of my regaining the 'Nation of Disorder' after my resurrection, he carried out some 'standardization' operations, so that you can only take the potions of the 'Black Emperor' pathway.
"In this way, even if the Trunsoest Empire left behind some high-level 'Justiciar' pathway characteristics, it would be difficult to use them."
Hobert slowly nodded and asked, "Can all of this branch of descendants that you transformed enter the 'Nation of Disorder'?"
"No, you are a special case," Trunsoest became serious. "I underestimated Rex's strength, and I underestimated his persistence!"
He paused and then said: "Decades ago, I felt that the rules in the 'Nation of Disorder' had changed according to my intentions, becoming harmless to my spirit and body, so I chose to resurrect in Rex's extremely talented body!
"The timing was also just right. At that time, the gods no longer objected to the appearance of a new 'Black Emperor' or 'Justiciar'.
"Oh, by the way, the influence of the 'Uncertain Mist' on the Trunsoest family can be broken after Sequence 2. At that time, you can change pathways."
Hobert smiled and nodded. He didn't have such plans, because under Adam's arrangement, it was relatively easy to obtain a characteristic of the 'Prince of Abolition'. If he could obtain the uniqueness of the 'Black Emperor' pathway, then compared to becoming a 'Justiciar', it would be easier for him to become a 'Black Emperor'.
Trunsoest didn't know Hobert's thoughts. He continued: "After I chose to resurrect in Rex's body, his fate changed accordingly.
"Maybe Rex himself doesn't know that after he emerged in the Beyonder world, he received the attention of many forces.
"What I know is that he received the attention of the Earth Mother and the Lord of Storms, and he also received the attention of the Numinous Episcopate and the Secret Order.
"These organizations and gods began to invest in him.
"My vision was indeed correct. Rex, like me when I was young, became a legend of an era."
Speaking of this, Trunsoest's expression changed subtly: "What surprised me most was that Rex actually vaguely guessed my plan through continuous investigation.
"So, he designed a fake advancement to 'trick' me out of the bloodline."
Hobert didn't understand: "What is a fake advancement?"
Trunsoest smiled: "Child, advancing level by level according to the correct sequence, isn't this the rule of the Beyonder world?"
Hobert nodded: "Yes."
"So, after Sequence 6, advancement requires corresponding rituals to stabilize the state and overcome the most difficult part of the advancement. Is this the rule for advancement?"
"Of course."
Trunsoest said seriously, "As long as there are rules or order, the 'Lawyer' can exploit them. Even if the rules are perfect and have no loopholes, they can still be used."
Hobert understood, "I didn't think of that before."
Trunsoest praised, "Rex is the most 'Lawyer'-like 'Lawyer' I have ever seen."
He continued, "The reason for designing this fake advancement is primarily because his condition at the time wasn't very good. He didn't have the time or the right opportunity to completely digest the 'Frenzied Mage' potion.
"If he had really advanced in his condition at the time, he would have lost control during the advancement process. Of course, I wouldn't resurrect in a monster, which would thwart his plans.
"Another reason is that he found a piece of the 'Duke of Entropy's' characteristic, but he couldn't obtain it despite trying many methods.
"If he had enough time, he would definitely have obtained it, but he wasted too much time on you and your mother, and there simply wasn't enough time!
"In the end, he chose to 'trick' me out in this way, making me mistakenly believe that he had advanced to an angel, thereby awakening within his body."
Hobert frowned, "Why did he do that?"
"Of course, it's for you!" Trunsoest said, "As long as I awaken within his body, the Trunsoest family curse will end, and you can grow up without worry."
Hobert was silent for a few seconds before saying, "This fatherly love is very heavy."
At this moment, the "Mr. Rex" in his heart had gradually transformed into the concept of "Father."
Trunsoest suddenly smiled, "This is not good. In this cruel world, before becoming a god, there is no power or qualification to protect family…"
Hobert interrupted with a smile, "Honorable Night Emperor, do you regret it?
"Even if you became a True God, you couldn't protect your wife and children.
"Your wife died tragically because of you, and your children suffered more than a thousand years of torment because of you."
He looked at Trunsoest, "May I ask, how did you use your power and qualifications to protect your family so 'thoroughly'?"
Trunsoest's expression gradually solidified, and he clenched his fists hard on the armrest before saying, "The 'Lawyer' also has this flaw; they always unconsciously use language as their weapon."
Hobert took a deep breath, smiled again, and asked in a conciliatory tone, "What happened next? Were you tricked?"
"Of course not." Trunsoest slowly released his clenched fists, "My consciousness was relatively clear at the time, and I realized it was a trap."
He sighed, "Looking back now, it was really dangerous. If that trap had been set up twenty or thirty years in advance, I might have fallen for it."
Hobert also nodded, "Yes, it was really dangerous!"
It was fortunate that it didn't succeed. Otherwise, Hobert wouldn't know how to face his own biological father. Was it Rex? Or Trunsoest?
He continued to ask, "Then why did my father die?"
"Rex had a backup plan." Trunsoest replied, "He obtained a 'Saint-level' Sealed Artifact from the 'Life School of Thought' and used a very dangerous ritual to 'distort' your fate, making you no longer a member of the Trunsoest family but a descendant of the Tudor family."
Trunsoest said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "Unfortunately, he still failed. He only made Christian your adoptive father, and you were only not a member of the Trunsoest family before the age of 23."
Then he explained, "Back then, it was a 'Justiciar' and 'Beauty Goddess' working together to transform you. How could a Sequence 3 plus a 'Saint-level' Sealed Artifact completely change your fate?
"Moreover, fate can only be tricked temporarily, not for a lifetime.
"Rex used up all his spirituality and blood but failed to achieve his goal and could only die in regret.
"The backlash from this ritual was enormous. It scattered Rex's spiritual body and mental body, making any resurrection impossible!
"In addition, everything Rex did attracted the attention of the 'Uncertain Mist,' so after his death, the angels of the Tamara family came to collect his characteristic."
Hobert was stunned. No wonder his mother had been searching in the underworld for so many years but couldn't find his father's spirit body. It turned out that it had been scattered in this ritual.
At this time, Trunsoest suddenly smiled, "Everything Rex did failed to achieve his goal but achieved mine.
"You will be another perfect vessel, and more suitable than Rex. The characteristic that he didn't obtain, you can obtain in a relatively easy way.
"As long as you don't want to fall into madness, you will eventually advance to an angel. As long as you become an angel, your humanity will be quickly replaced by my consciousness."
Hobert ignored Trunsoest's intimidation and asked, "Why does the 'Uncertain Mist' have to find the 'Genie'?"
When Solomon was influenced by the 'Uncertain Mist,' he had searched for the 'Genie,' and when Trunsoest was influenced by the 'Uncertain Mist,' he was also looking for the 'Genie.'
"I don't know." Trunsoest said, "But I sensed that the 'Genie,' or rather, the 'Son of Chaos,' has something very important to the 'Uncertain Mist.'"
Hobert asked again, "What is the main ability of the 'Uncertain Mist'?"
"His description is truth." Trunsoest said, "Another is to plunge a certain area into a state of 'chaos' or 'uncertainty.'
"There is no time, no space, no mass, no weight, and no Beyonder power. There is nothing one can be certain of!
"Only the 'Uncertain Mist' can rebuild the order there, and he can build it however he wants."
Hobert thought: This sounds like the concept of a black hole or singularity. As for the ability to build order later, it reminds me of a science fiction novel I read before. If the fundamental constants of the universe were even slightly different from what they are now, the environment of the universe would be drastically different.
Hobert asked again, "Do you know that he used some unknown means to combine a portion of his power and a portion of his consciousness into a little boy?"
"I don't know." Trunsoest said, "I can't share your vision and perception; I can only roughly sense some things."
Then he said, "Don't worry too much, because his power within the shield is very limited. If he wants to gain more power, he must hold large-scale rituals. In that case, the Seven Gods will definitely notice."
Hobert continued this topic, "Can he enter the 'Nation of Disorder' at any time?"
"No, he needs to use your connection with the 'Nation of Disorder' to get the opportunity to enter the 'Nation of Disorder.'"
Finally, Hobert asked, "Why could I enter the 'Nation of Disorder' when I was still an ordinary person? And why could I immediately become the master of the 'Nation of Disorder'? Was that also your doing?"
Trunsoest suddenly fell silent and said after a long while, "I don't know."
"Don't know?" This answer greatly exceeded Hobert's expectations.
"You seem to be affected by something." Trunsoest frowned, "But with my current power, I can't see where the power affecting you comes from."
Then he shook his head, "But this power has done me a great favor. You have been merging with the 'Nation of Disorder,' and after I resurrect, I will be spared the process of merging with the 'Nation of Disorder.'"
Hobert smiled, "You seem confident, like you will definitely succeed?"
"Of course." Trunsoest said, "To prevent things like Rex happening again, I have come up with a way over the years. As long as you become Sequence 3, I can share most of your memories. You will have no secrets from me!"
Hobert was stunned; he hadn't thought of that.
Trunsoest smiled and reached out his hand, as if to grab Hobert's memories, "Don't struggle. All struggles are useless in my eyes. You…"
His smile gradually froze because his grasp caught nothing, "Concealment!"
Hobert, who was about to leave the "Nation of Disorder" to hide, discovered that his chest, in his spiritual state, was covered with a thin layer of stars.
It was filled with tranquility and the atmosphere of the night sky.
Hobert suddenly recalled that before the Evernight Goddess sent him to "Foggy Town" in the second layer behind the Charnes Gate in the basement of Saint Samuel Cathedral, she had pointed at him.
He had never understood the Evernight Goddess's intention with that point, but now he understood that it was to allow him to keep secrets.
Hobert smiled, "Sorry to disappoint you. I hope you can continue to be as optimistic as you are now.
"Okay, let's talk here today. Please go back."
Although he used the word "please," he still used ropes formed from the water in the pool to pull Trunsoest down to the pool below the mountain.
Trunsoest didn't resist because resistance was useless. The master of the "Nation of Disorder" was still Hobert.
After Hobert was left alone in the hall, he began to recall his conversation with Trunsoest earlier.
First of all, Hobert had no respect for him as an ancestor or elder.
He was very clear that this was his enemy, a huge enemy to his continued advancement to Sequence 2!
The next question was, how to prevent Trunsoest's resurrection while advancing to an angel?
Hobert recalled the relevant conversations again. He noticed that Trunsoest said he would "replace" his humanity.
This reminded him of some stories about avatars. Obviously, the Trunsoest family he belonged to was a "clone" for the Night Emperor Trunsoest to extend his life and realize his ambitions, ready to be covered by his consciousness at any time to complete the resurrection process.
Hobert thought that Trunsoest's "channel" for "replacing" his humanity was the Trunsoest family bloodline.
He felt that Rex's method was the best method, but he didn't know if his fate could be changed again to allow him to break away from the bloodline and complete the advancement?
He decided to consult Klein immediately after leaving the "Nation of Disorder."
As for the method to deal with Trunsoest, it was obviously not something that could be figured out overnight. He couldn't come up with it by thinking hard, so he could put it aside for a while.
Taking a deep breath, Hobert felt the improvement in his abilities in the "Nation of Disorder." First of all, he could control all the land areas in the "Nation of Disorder."
So he waved his hand and placed all the scattered forests, mountains, plains, and lakes together, forming a large primeval forest, a small mountain range, a boundless plain, and a scattering of lakes of various sizes.
The improvement in the area he could control allowed Hobert to further borrow the power of the "Nation of Disorder."
This made Hobert's spirituality realize that he could create a scepter. As soon as this thought came out, under the influence of the "Nation of Disorder," he immediately had a corresponding concept.
It turned out that the so-called "Shadow of Order" refers to using the loopholes in "Order" to grasp certain authorities in other fields, thereby quickly and effectively establishing an order that is beneficial to oneself!
Using the obtained authority, "distortion" and "disorder" can play a greater role in a certain field, completely disrupting the order of that field.
These authorities are like "hiding" in the shadows of related fields, difficult to detect, but as the master of the "Nation of Disorder," one can use these "unseen" forces.
For example, Hobert can, through certain operations, grasp certain authorities in terms of storms and lightning, so that he can use these authorities to create weather that is beneficial to himself!
If fighting against Beyonders of this pathway, it will completely make the power of this field chaotic in an area, making it difficult for the enemy to use!
However, there is a condition for making corresponding authorities: one must find the overflow of the essence of the Uniqueness of the relevant field in order to condense a certain authority.
Hobert understood the concept of "the essence of Uniqueness" in this way: For example, when the Evernight Goddess fights the God of Combat, the sky on the Evernight Goddess's side must be a cosmos, and the sky on the God of Combat's side must be in a twilight state.
This is an overflow of the "essence of Uniqueness," and the manifestation is that the surrounding large area becomes abnormal due to the Uniqueness."
But to create authority, such an overflow is not enough. There must be places where it has been night for several days after the war, so that a large amount of overflow can be "used" by Hobert.
In Hobert's view, this is a process of "using," "distorting," and "amplifying." Using these overflows of the "essence of Uniqueness," distorting them into tools that he can use, and then amplifying the role of this tool, forms a certain authority in the relevant field.
This is equivalent to using some scraps of the Uniqueness to make a high imitation authority with a certain effect of the Uniqueness.
It is vastly different from the real Uniqueness, but it is much easier to use than Sealed Artifacts.
Hobert recalled that the "Black Emperor" pathway does not seem to have similar abilities, nor does it seem to be the relevant abilities of the "Justiciar" pathway.
Finally, he understood that this is the ability possessed by the "Disorder," that is, the Outer Deities that these two pathways plus the "Nation of Disorder" can become.
At the same time, Hobert realized that the authority of The Anarchy seemed to be "Authority" itself!
The "Justiciar" formulate and maintain rules, the "Black Emperor" disrupts order. "Maintenance" plus "Disruption" equals "Authority"!
It's just that Hobert can only use very few of the abilities, only mastering a small amount of authority in one field.
But for Hobert, this is a great help.
And this great help is easy to obtain. In the Berserk Sea, in the ruins of the Sonia Sea, there is plenty of this overflowing power!
Hobert can even pick and choose!
The only problem now is that the spirit world of the ruins has also become very chaotic, making it impossible to travel there using "Travel". He can only honestly take a boat.
A round trip would take at least a week, and Hobert is very busy right now and can't spare a week at all.
The key is that he is already Sequence 3, making going to the ruins very dangerous.
At this time, Hobert thought of cannon fodder... cough cough cough, he thought of his loyal follower Rafter, who could run this errand for him.
For safety's sake, he could help him contact Cattleya or Alger and have them take him to the ruins by ship!
Hobert thought this method was quite feasible, so he left the "Nation of Disorder". First, he wrote a letter to Klein, asking if his "Fate" pathway friends could help him change his fate.
After the letter was sent, Hobert waited for about ten minutes before praying to "The Fool" again, asking Mr. Fool to contact Miss Hermit and ask if she was willing to go to the ruins again.
Sitting in his study, Hobert simulated Klein's reaction after hearing his prayer.
First, he would excuse himself to the washroom, then go "above the gray fog", "check" Hobert's prayer, and then put a mosaic on the prayer and throw it into the star representing "Hermit".
After waiting for about half a minute, "Hermit" would reply, then put a mosaic on "Hermit's" reply and finally throw it into the star representing "Emperor".
Thinking of this, after another seven or eight seconds, a picture of a woman in a wizard's robe praying appeared in Hobert's mind.
"Hermit" had other things to do and couldn't go to the ruins in a short time.
So, while "The Fool" hadn't left his "God's Kingdom" washroom, Hobert quickly asked "The Hanged Man" in prayer if he would like to go.
After a few minutes, he received a reply. "The Hanged Man" was willing to go.
After negotiating the price and the boarding location, the transaction ended. Hobert looked at the clock in his study. The transaction took about 12 minutes in total.
If "The Fool" had a social engagement at this time, wouldn't others think that the wealthy Dawn Dantes had prostate problems? Or was recently constipated?
With a slight smile, Hobert told Dophis outside that his advancement was over and he didn't need to guard outside anymore.
Then he went to the "Nation of Disorder", put his power into the star representing Rafter, and said in a solemn voice: "Go to the ruins and find that horse running on the sea!"
Then Hobert withdrew his power and left the "Nation of Disorder".
This was Hobert's choice after consideration. He remembered that in Hermit's description, there was a horse running on the sea in the ruins, like a blazing sun falling into the sea.
He estimated that it should be part of the power of the "Sun" pathway. Hobert thought about it and realized that his sealed artifact and Beyonder characteristics seemed to lack power in this area. He could try to use that fiery horse to create authority.
Back in the real world, Hobert prepared himself and used "Travel" to come to Tony Manor, logging in as the "Blessed" persona.
Rafter had been transferred to the department dealing with the Governor's Office at Tony Manor. When he received the "Creator's" instructions, he was excited and agitated, already restless.
Seeing the "Blessed" outside the office, he immediately walked out quickly and took Hobert to a small conference room.
Hobert smiled and said, "You should have received the 'Creator's' instructions just now, right?"
"Yes, yes," Rafter said. "But how am I going to get to the ruins of Sonia Sea?"
He had seen relevant descriptions of the ruins in the family notes, but ordinary passenger ships probably wouldn't go there, right?
"According to the 'Creator's' instructions, I have already found a ship for you," Hobert said. "Go pack your things. Board the ship at Oravi Port in two hours. The whole journey is expected to take more than a week."
"Yes, yes, yes." Rafter was about to go back to pack his things when he suddenly seemed to think of something and turned back: "Sir Blessed, where should I find the horse running on the sea?"
Hobert answered like a charlatan, "Follow God's guidance."
Actually, it was Alger, the captain of the "Blue Avenger", who knew the approximate area where the horse was located.
Rafter didn't dare to continue asking, "I understand."
Then he asked a little guiltily, "What should I do after I find the horse?"
Hobert answered with a smile, "Of course, pray to the 'Creator'."
Rafter cursed himself for being stupid, how could he not have thought of such a simple question.
Hobert asked him again, "How is your potion digestion going?"
Rafter said with a wry smile, "I've only digested a little more than half of it."
"After this mission is over, the 'Creator' will bestow you with a gift, allowing you to digest the other half of the 'Briber' potion," Hobert said with a smile.
Rafter couldn't believe his ears, and immediately puffed out his chest and said, "Praise the Creator, thank you Sir Blessed"
After saying that, seeing that the "Blessed" had no further instructions, Rafter hurried back to pack his luggage.
Actually, there wasn't much to pack, just some changes of clothes and daily necessities would do.
Arriving at Oravi Port, there was still some time, so the two found a bar and each ordered a local beer, chatting for a while under Rafter's flattery, and then waited for Alger's "Pale Justice" to arrive.
After sending Rafter on board and greeting Alger briefly, Hobert returned to Backlund.
Just a few minutes after returning to his study, Klein's messenger delivered a letter. This time, Reinette, carrying four heads, didn't ask Hobert for gold coins.
