Backlund, 19 Blanca Street.
Fors took half a minute to regain her senses in the bedroom: "What a wonderful gathering!"
Immediately afterward, the unbelievable events at the gathering flooded in like a tide: "Mr. Emperor has access to sealed artifacts?
"Why did 'The Sun' speak so strangely? It seems he doesn't live in the Northern or Southern continents, or the archipelago? Where exactly is he?
"A serial murder case, actually committed by a demon?"
The questions in Fors's mind sprouted one after another, like bamboo shoots in spring.
The pressure of this gathering was too intense, and she was too embarrassed to ask her questions during the final exchange.
Then she thought: "So, the Berserk Sea wasn't always raging? Its current state is related to the Underworld Emperor in the history books?
"What to do? I really want to know the answers! I wonder if I can trade with Mr. Emperor again and pay him 600 pounds to tell me the answers?"
Thinking of this, she sighed, lamenting why her life was so poor.
Logically, a deposit of over a thousand pounds would be enough for her to live a middle-class life in Backlund, but at this moment, those savings seemed so pale and powerless.
No, I can't delay any longer, I must write the beginning of the new book as soon as possible!
As long as I write the beginning, the rest will be easier.
After much effort, she finally sat up from the bed: I need to take it easy; getting up too quickly is bad for my health. Of course, I should also use the time to relax, like, reading a magazine or newspaper?
In another bedroom on the second floor, Hobert received the rewards that Alger and Audrey paid him, a total of 2750 pounds, through bestowal.
Among them, the "Wind Blessed" potion formula was 1500 pounds, and the information about the cause of the Berserk Sea's formation was 1250 pounds.
This income brought Hobert's funds to over 6000 pounds, making him a "rich man" again.
He felt that he could completely use this money as start-up capital to develop in the Southern Continent.
As for the gold and Beyonder characteristics of the "Nation of Disorder", he could keep them for a while. In case he went to a place where gold pounds were not used, both gold and Beyonder characteristics were hard currency.
Even if gold pounds could be used, he could use "Travel" to return and cash them out at the Beyonder gatherings in Backlund, but he would have to find a new channel to cash them out.
Thinking of this, Hobert sacrificed the newly obtained 2600 pounds to the "Nation of Disorder". Seeing the piles of gold pounds become full again, Hobert's mood immediately improved a lot.
Just as he was about to leave the "Nation of Disorder", Hobert discovered that there were two stars twinkling in the pool in front of him.
One of them was Rafter, who was praying to the "Creator" again.
Hobert sighed, this guy's perseverance is not bad.
The other star was actually Upton. Hobert spread his spirituality over and heard Upton's voice: "...Great 'Creator', I have returned to Conant and am preparing to open a showroom for selling steam engines here. If any of your blessed ones need my help, they can come to me. The address of the showroom is 66 White Rose Street."
Retracting his spirituality, Hobert nodded: Very good! He even knows to actively report his movements.
Now there are not only blessed ones of the "Creator" in the Southern Continent, but also in Desi County. Congratulations, there are finally two blessed ones.
Hobert smiled self-deprecatingly, and then he thought that the "Dawn Paladin" who called himself John had hidden the "Mutated Fire Rose Spider" in the Conant cemetery. Should he let Upton take a look?
But he quickly shook his head. The risk of this action was not small. Upton would be useful in the future. If he was targeted by the people of the "Judgment Group", it would not be worth it.
Thinking about it, Hobert looked at the star representing Rafter: This can't be blamed on me, he asked for it! Although I used him to get the "Black Emperor" card, I also dispelled the evil spirit possessing him, which is equivalent to saving his life. We are even! But he insisted on coming to my door to let me trick him, what can I do?
However, Hobert did not act immediately. He planned to wait and see. If Rafter prayed to the "Creator" again, then don't blame the "Creator" for using him as a pawn again.
Leaving the "Nation of Disorder", Hobert thought of Fors, who had just joined the Tarot Club: I can't continue to live with Xio and Fors, it will harm them.
[T/N: Noooo]
After a little thought, Hobert put on his coat, picked up his cane, went to the restaurant outside to order a rich dinner, and bought two bottles of wine.
A little after five in the afternoon, Fors, who was preparing to come down to make dinner, and Xio, who had just entered the door after a busy day, were both surprised to see the rich dinner prepared by Hobert.
Fors smiled: "The 10-pound meal fee hasn't been spent yet."
Xio smiled: "Let's just assume you're treating us because you made money."
At the previous "Justice League" gathering, Hobert sold two potion formulas and a Sequence 8 main material, earning over a thousand pounds.
Hobert set out the wine glasses: "I have something important to discuss with you."
As he spoke, he opened the red wine: "Please sit down."
Fors and Xio exchanged glances, their expressions becoming serious.
Hobert smiled: "There's no need to be so serious, but this matter must be told to you in advance.
"In order to seek better development, I may have to leave Backlund at any time, so I want you to be prepared to look for a new rental house, because before leaving Backlund, I will terminate the lease and get back part of the rent."
Of course, he wouldn't tell them the truth.
Xio looked at Hobert: "Are you in some kind of trouble?"
"No." Hobert smiled: "It's really to seek better development. Although Backlund has various and convenient Beyonder channels, it's not suitable for me to continue developing. This is determined by the potion."
Fors nodded, seeming to understand: "Will you ever come back to Backlund in the future?"
"Of course, I will come back." Hobert said: "And I will come back often to conduct some transactions. As long as I can be notified in advance, I will attend the 'Justice League' gatherings without fail."
The only problem is, how to get notified in time?
Xio looked a little depressed: "I've already gotten used to the lively restaurants here and the spacious bedroom."
"I've gotten used to it too." Hobert smiled reluctantly: "But, banquets always come to an end. Don't be sad at this time, because the next banquet will always come."
Fors raised her glass: "Okay, I wish you better development. Xio and I both owe you a favor and can only repay you later."
"That's too polite." Hobert smiled: "If you want to find me, you can write to the law firm, and my colleagues will forward it to me."
