The Way to Become an Above the Sequence!
Everyone at this moment only had a vague concept of what it meant to be an Ancient Sun God. The "Emperor's" words made them realize that, just like becoming a Sequence 0 True God, there was a specific method to becoming an Above the Sequence.
Moreover, this method was unclear even to the usually knowledgeable Emperor.
Klein immediately understood: What Roselle hadn't seen must be the content about how to become an Above the Sequence!
Alger sighed: This is the "Blasphemy Slate," only such high-level information is worthy of its legendary status.
After a brief moment of surprise, Cattleya quickly calmed down and organized her words to ask: "Where did the 'Blasphemy Slate' come from? I mean, who summarized the way to become an Above the Sequence?
"Also, who summarized the 22 relatively safe advancement methods on the first 'Blasphemy Slate'? And who recorded this information on the 'Blasphemy Slate'?
"Was it an ancient god? Or the legendary Original Creator?"
Hobert felt that he couldn't disclose too much detailed information about the first 'Blasphemy Slate' for the time being, so he said: "The era when the first 'Blasphemy Slate' appeared is too long ago, and I don't have any relevant information here.
"However, I do know that the summary of how to become an Above the Sequence on the second 'Blasphemy Slate' was completed by the Ancient Sun God, because He was an Above the Sequence.
"This is His great contribution to the Beyonder world!"
Cattleya nodded. She remembered that during a previous Tarot Gathering, the "Emperor" had said something similar.
She said: "Does that mean the first 'Blasphemy Slate' should be from the Second Epoch, or even earlier, by someone who advanced to godhood in a relatively safe way?
"Not necessarily," Hobert said. "Like me, I didn't receive systematic mystical training, but only occasionally came into contact with mystical symbols. However, as I advanced, I gradually became able to clearly feel the connection between Beyonder powers and those mystical symbols, and it was easy to understand their meaning.
"Now, I can even understand the operating principles of most magic arrays."
Cattleya nodded: "I understand what you mean. Some things can be deduced from one's own Beyonder characteristics and a high sequence."
Hobert smiled: "I think so."
The conversation between the two made Audrey realize a problem: In the Beyonder world, mature concepts are very important. Hobert and the Hermit had roughly the same level of understanding, so their communication was very efficient.
Hobert continued: "For the gods, the second 'Blasphemy Slate' ended the era of wars fought for various ridiculous reasons and ushered in an era of gambling for the position ofAbove the Sequence!
"Thus, the brand-new Fourth Epoch began!"
These words made everyone realize that the gods were already gambling to become Above the Sequences at the beginning of the Fourth Epoch!
Klein sighed: As a Sequence 5, he was completely unaware of such things. The concept of "god" was like a huge dividing line. Below this dividing line were the masses, and above this dividing line, one had completely transcended the thoughts and consciousness of ordinary people.
Audrey felt as if she had seen a distant peak, but all she could do at the moment was praise the peak because she was too far away from it.
Alger smiled wryly: Clearly, my goal before joining the Tarot Club was just to become a Sequence 5, and later I had the ambition to become a demigod. Now, I'm almost unable to define my goal.
The other members also had their own feelings. For a while, the entire hall was silent.
After a long while, Klein manipulated "The World" to ask: "Where are the two 'Blasphemy Slates' now? Or rather, who has them?
Hobert vaguely replied: "It is said that the Ancient Sun God once held the first 'Blasphemy Slate'. After His fall, it disappeared and should now be in the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods'. The second 'Blasphemy Slate' seems to be in Adam's hands."
Klein nodded almost imperceptibly. This was related to the diary of Emperor Roselle he had seen. Roselle had seen the second "Blasphemy Slate," but the way to become an Ancient Sun God was hidden by Adam.
Cattleya suddenly said: "Can we see the 'Blasphemy Slate' as the light brought to the Beyonder world by the Ancient Sun God?
"I remember Mr. Emperor once said that the first 'Blasphemy Slate' appeared in the Second Epoch, and the Ancient Sun God also appeared in the late Second Epoch.
"And now Adam, the son of the Ancient Sun God, holds the second 'Blasphemy Slate'. I believe this 'Blasphemy Slate' is also closely related to the Ancient Sun God."
Emlyn and Derrick realized this after hearing Cattleya's summary!
Audrey sighed again: The Hermit's logical ability is very strong. She can think of so much information so quickly!
"You can say that," Hobert continued to announce more information to everyone: "According to reliable information I have obtained, the second 'Blasphemy Slate' seems to be the remains of the Ancient Sun God, fused with a part of His will."
Everyone immediately showed varying degrees of surprise.
Alger thought to himself: It's always called "Blasphemy Slate," as if it were a naturally formed object. I didn't expect its "main material" to be the remains of the Ancient Sun God!
Klein wasn't very surprised: No wonder the "Emperor" guessed that the content displayed on the "Blasphemy Slate" was a mode similar to direct communication with spiritual bodies, since it fused the will of the Ancient Sun God!
Emlyn had the urge to scratch his head: The "Blasphemy Slate" is not a stone tablet, but it's made of remains? It sounds terrifying!
Fors suddenly thought: I wonder if I can write books with my will after I continue to advance and become an angel? That way, I don't have to write with a pen, and I can write very quickly!
After a slight pause, Cattleya asked: "Whose will formed the first 'Blasphemy Slate'?"
"I don't know!" Hobert said bluntly: "However, what is certain is that the first 'Blasphemy Slate' appeared before the Ancient Sun God appeared."
Alger followed up with his analysis: "Could the first 'Blasphemy Slate' be a product of the First Epoch?"
Derrick looked at "The Hanged Man" and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "The First Epoch!"
For City of Silver, the First Epoch was also a very distant history with only very vague records.
Klein also sighed: Has the Tarot Club's information exchange finally touched on the First Epoch? Then he realized that he currently had almost no information about the First Epoch.
Hobert smiled: "It's not impossible."
Cattleya sighed: "The First Epoch! The Disorder Epoch! It's a pity that there doesn't seem to be any relevant records left."
This epoch was like a blank in history. Everyone knew of its existence, but then they realized that they had no knowledge of it.
After everyone fantasized for a while, Hobert said: "The above is all the information I know about the 'Blasphemy Slate'."
Then he said: "Please, Miss Justice, give us psychological cues, because information about the Above the Sequence is not suitable to bring into the real world."
Of course, everyone had no objections. After accepting Audrey's psychological cues, they thanked the "Emperor," after all, this information was very valuable and helped them sort out their thoughts.
After this topic ended, Alger curiously asked the "Emperor": "Mr. Emperor, which pathway's Beyonder were we talking to in the burial hall at that time?"
Although Alger couldn't see the "Emperor's" expression, he felt that the "Emperor's" expression was a little strange at this time. He only heard the "Emperor" say: "That should be Adam!"
Alger almost slipped off his chair: "A... Adam!"
He originally thought that it was at most an angel-level Beyonder, or even only Sequence 3, because he didn't feel any threat at the time.
Also, because he had encountered a long-haired monster with stealth and petrification abilities outside the church, he thought it was just a Beyonder with stealth abilities!
Unexpectedly, that was a King of Angels!
He actually witnessed... no, heard a King of Angels talking to the "Emperor"!
This gave him the feeling that characters from myths had walked into the real world!
Klein wasn't so surprised because he had already guessed it.
The other members' eyes went back and forth between the "Emperor" and "The Hanged Man": Where exactly did they explore last week? Not only did they see such a huge amount of information in the murals, but they also encountered Adam!
Fors frowned: Hobert didn't tell me about such an important thing before attending the Tarot Gathering! Well, maybe his relevant memories were sealed, and he only "remembered" after coming to the "Gray Fog"
After a moment of surprise, Audrey asked Hobert: "What does Adam look like? How did you escape from there?"
"I don't know," Hobert said with a wry smile: "If He wants to hide Himself, with our current level, we might not find out until we die.
"Well, it's even possible that after we landed on that island, He had already been observing us all the time, watching us move forward, watching us fight.
"Not only watching us, but at that time, our thoughts and what we thought in our hearts were like a book placed in a library that Adam could read. To Him, we had no secrets."
Although Hobert sealed the key memories he could think of, he was still afraid that Adam would learn some key information.
Fortunately, Hobert also knew that Adam couldn't be so idle and wouldn't stare at a demigod and two Sequence 5s without letting go.
Of course, the key is that all three of them have backers!
Everyone was once again shocked by the "Emperor's" description. Such an ability is too terrible.
Audrey found it a little unbelievable: "Is this pathway so terrifying at the King of Angels level?"
"It should be said that every pathway is quite terrifying at the King of Angels level," Hobert said with a smile: "But the abilities of Adam and Amon are particularly strange!"
In fact, after the "Seer" pathway reaches "High Sequence," no, from Sequence 5 onwards, it also begins to develop in a strange direction.
Klein actually felt a little chilly behind his back: It's hard to imagine that our exploration team may have had four people at the time! Anyway, I only remember there being three people.
Cattleya also said: "What a terrifying ability! Although we know that Mr. Fool has been providing us with protection, let's imagine that there is actually another member eavesdropping on our gathering.
"If someone hadn't reminded us, we wouldn't have realized his existence at all."
This description made everyone feel insecure and unconsciously looked at the empty seats around them.
Hobert smiled and said: "Adam wouldn't care too much about small characters like us!"
Alger nodded: "That's right."
He remembered that Adam seemed more concerned about the state of the "Creator" at the time.
However, the two people's "harmonious duet" did not comfort everyone, and everyone still felt a little insecure.
Hobert continued: "As for how we escaped."
He smiled: "Of course, we were let go. Don't you think we can escape from the gaze of a King of Angels?
"Even if we escaped by chance, as long as we are still in this world, we are very likely to be poisoned by a poisonous insect that accidentally falls into the kettle while drinking water, or be killed by an Beyonder's ability out of control or the ability of a sealed artifact not being controlled while walking on the road as usual. In short, it is easy to die from a small or extremely small probability of coincidence."
This reminded Klein of Anderson's encounter, but that guy encountered an attack from the "Spectator" pathway's "psychological cue" aspect, making everyone around him regard Anderson as an enemy.
However, those ordinary people's methods of attack were very clever, or rather, it seemed that they were really able to attack Anderson because of various coincidences.
The scene at that time was still vivid in Klein's mind, and even now he doesn't know what the demigod of the "Spectator" pathway looks like.
Hobert's description made everyone understand the "Spectator's" attack methods even more, and everyone almost came to a relatively unified conclusion: It is impossible to defend against!
Finally, Alger sighed: "Fortunately, we have the gaze of Mr. Fool and the 'Creator', and Adam did not embarrass us."
He believed that even if these two did not always pay attention to that exploration operation, judging from Adam's meaning, he was also very clear that the "Emperor" and "The World" were the blessed ones of two great figures.
Then the other members also realized that even if they encountered the legendary Adam, "The Hanged Man" and the others had successfully escaped, and at least so far they seemed to be in no danger.
That is to say, Adam also has a certain fear of the "Fool" and the "Creator" and will not easily attack Their blessed ones.
Klein behind the gray fog thought to himself: I am more inclined to believe that Adam hopes that this mural will be more widely spread through the "Fool" and the "Creator".
After all, these two "evil gods" are in a similar situation to His Adam, and their forces are not orthodox churches, so they are considered "gray forces" and do not resist this type of information.
With the end of this topic, everyone felt that they had gained too many surprises at this Tarot Gathering.
After a moment of silence, Emlyn cleared his throat: "I hope to rent a mystical item with a strong offensive ability to complete the next hunt."
Audrey was very interested in this form: "Rent?
"Oh, yes, with Mr. Fool's witness, we can indeed conduct rental transactions with confidence!"
"Exactly!" Emlyn exclaimed inwardly: Truly a clever lady.
He smiled and said, "At other gatherings of Beyonders, transactions involving the rental of mystical items are almost impossible to achieve due to a lack of sufficient trust and a strong guarantee.
"But at the Tarot Club, with the witness of Mr. Fool, who possesses god-like power, we can all confidently engage in such transactions."
Emlyn's idea seemed to open a new door for everyone!
Even Klein marveled: This guy's thought process is really different. I didn't even think of conducting such transactions. Should I collect a certain percentage as a security deposit? Heh, forget it. That would really make 'The Fool' a middleman.
Fors suddenly realized that 'Leymano's Travels' was very suitable for such transactions: "I have a mystical item here that I can rent to you…"
She briefly described the abilities and negative effects of 'Leymano's Travels,' then considered it slightly and said, "The rental fee is 50 pounds per day.
"But there's one requirement: you can freely use the abilities in the book, but when you return it, it must have two additional pages of abilities.
"If you use the demigod-level abilities, it must have four additional pages of abilities.
"The abilities recorded from you can be repeated and have no level restrictions!"
Emlyn was a little surprised: "It actually has demigod-level abilities?"
Then this hunt is guaranteed!
Even if he encounters a situation like the 'Moon Puppet' last time, he can easily solve it!
Cattleya nodded slightly: After all, Miss Magician also has an organization behind her! They can definitely provide her with the opportunity to record demigod-level abilities.
Alger sighed: Miss Magician's background is not simple.
Audrey and Klein's gazes almost simultaneously turned towards Hobert. Those demigod abilities must have been provided by him!
Emlyn asked, "Is it convenient to reveal what those demigod-level abilities are?"
"Yes." Fors secretly glanced at Hobert before saying, "There are demigod-level 'Distortion,' 'Disorder,' and 'Exploit'!"
Klein and Audrey almost simultaneously thought in their hearts: As expected!
Cattleya was a little strange: Aren't these all abilities of the 'Lawyer' pathway? Have the Abraham family members changed pathways?
Fors continued: "The demigod who recorded these abilities once tested them. Using this level of 'Distortion' and 'Disorder' on a Sequence 6 Beyonder can prevent the opponent from breaking free from the corresponding state for 12 to 15 seconds!"
Speaking of this, she felt a little proud in her heart.
Although this may reveal some information about Hobert's abilities, just like wanting to find a place to talk about how handsome her boyfriend is, Fors has a strong desire to confide in this regard.
Or rather, it is not suitable to confide in this information elsewhere. Only at the Tarot Club, when other members do not know Hobert's true identity, is it okay to talk about it without bringing any danger to Hobert.
Moreover, Hobert does not object to such a statement. This is equivalent to a public advertisement. If everyone has problems that cannot be solved and it is inconvenient to ask 'The Fool' for help, they can request the help of 'The Emperor.'
Fair prices and guaranteed after-sales service!
Emlyn was a little surprised when he heard this: "Are you serious?"
Then, as long as he can find a way to get close to the hunting target, throwing a 'Disorder' over will end the hunt.
Then he added, "Do I really only need to record four of my own abilities?"
Klein nodded slowly. He had personally experienced this. In the process of defeating the six-winged gargoyle, Hobert used a similar 'Disorder' ability, and as a result, that monster did not break free from the state Hobert imposed until it died.
Cattleya exclaimed: This is the qualitative change of a demigod!
Alger also recalled the process of the 'Emperor' eliminating the six-winged gargoyle: Sequence 6 is as fragile as a child in front of a demigod!
He doesn't have much contact with the 'Emperor,' and he has never met the 'Magician' in the real world, so he never thought that these two would be a couple.
Fors suddenly remembered one of Hobert's words, so she smiled and responded to Emlyn: "This is a benefit of the Tarot Club!"
"But I still want to thank you for providing the mystical item and the explanation just now." After thanking her, Emlyn asked, "Can you explain the 'Exploit' ability again?"
"This is an ability I like very much." Fors smiled and said, "It can extend the duration of some states or continuous abilities that are beneficial to oneself.
"Using Sequence 6 as an example, the duration of this level of state or ability can be extended by at least one and a half times.
"It can also instantly end all negative effects and mental attacks suffered.
"If used on enemies, it can end some of their abilities early, such as the 'Dawn Sword' and 'Dawn Armor' summoned by the 'Dawn Paladin.'
"Moreover, it can also be used on sealed artifacts, such as making a Grade 2 sealed artifact unusable for 5 to 10 seconds, or strengthening and prolonging the consequences and duration of the sealed artifact's negative effects."
Klein exclaimed: The main point of this ability is to catch people off guard! I can imagine that if 'Creeping Hunger' suddenly cannot be used normally, it will not only cause immeasurable consequences but also undermine my confidence in battle.
Cattleya frowned and thought: "Exploit should also be able to end some spells and ritual magic early. This ability is very restraining to my abilities! Fortunately, I haven't encountered a demigod-level 'Lawyer' pathway opponent before.
After listening to the explanation, Emlyn said, "I want to rent this mystical item! Hmm, I'll start renting it from the day after tomorrow!"
Fors smiled and said, "Okay."
After this transaction ended, Derrick took the initiative to say, "I just learned a new piece of information. It turns out that the former Chief of City of Silver did not die. He just built a mausoleum for himself and lived in it.
"However, he hasn't appeared for a long time, so many people, including me, thought he was dead.
"I heard that the 'Six-Member Council' is planning to open the former Chief's mausoleum. Will such an action bring danger to City of Silver?"
Hobert suggested, "Regarding mausoleums, it is easy to associate them with Beyonders of the 'Death' pathway!"
"That's right." Alger thought so too. Then he asked "The Sun", "Was your former Chief also on the 'Warrior' pathway?"
"Little Sun" nodded: "Yes, he was once a 'Demon Hunter'."
"He may have found the corresponding Beyonder characteristics and potion formula and tried to jump to an adjacent pathway." Alger guessed. Then he asked:
"Has there ever been a Sequence 3 of the 'Warrior' pathway in City of Silver, or in the history of City of Silver?"
Derrick tried hard to think: "It seems not, at least not now."
"Then, can we assume that there is some reason that hinders the advancement of the City of Silver demigods?" Alger once again made a guess based on the clues provided by Derrick.
He said: "In order to obtain stronger power, in order to try to find a new way out, perhaps your former Chief hoped to be promoted to Sequence 3 of an adjacent pathway."
Derrick nodded, very much agreeing with Mr. "Hanged Man's" guess. City of Silver has been trying for more than two thousand years, and there are too many tragic stories.
Audrey asked curiously, "Mr. Hanged Man, if the current Six-Member Council wants to open the former Chief's mausoleum, does it mean that his advancement failed? Or is it for other purposes? What kind of consequences will such an action lead to?"
Derrick nodded repeatedly. He also had such questions.
Klein glanced at the "Death" card on the bronze long table: Perhaps there was a problem with the former Chief's advancement ritual.
He thought that the "Emperor" should also know this, so he didn't let "The World" take the initiative to remind him.
"I don't know either." Alger answered while looking at the "Emperor" again.
The meaning was obvious: The knowledgeable "Emperor" might know the answer.
So "Little Sun" and other members looked at the "Emperor" again.
"I heard that the ritual for promoting to Sequence 3 of the 'Death' pathway requires a mausoleum of one's own." Hobert reminded again, "The former Chief failed to come out on his own, probably because the advancement process was not very smooth."
He said: "This is inevitable because no one knows whether the potion formula in the former Chief's hand is complete.
"Even if you know the complete ritual, each advancement after Sequence 6 is very dangerous. This is when the role of Beyonder organizations is reflected.
"As far as I know, there are actually some techniques for designing the ritual during advancement.
"But City of Silver should not have such information and can only rely on their own exploration."
Everyone seemed to see City of Silver, which had been in a state of exploration for more than two thousand years, gradually becoming majestic as it walked to the present step by step.
Hobert said to Derrick: "There is too little information currently known. It is not clear where the problem is, so there is no way to guess the consequences of this matter.
"I suggest you inquire more to see if you can get more information. After having more information, everyone will help you analyze it."
Derrick was slightly stunned: "Okay, Mr. Emperor, I will try my best!"
After this topic ended, "The World" said to Hobert: "You mentioned earlier that the way to temporarily obtain good luck has been answered. You have to wait a little longer to find a suitable opportunity to obtain it.
"The other party is very satisfied with the price you offered. You can pay in advance, or you can wait until the time is right to pay."
Hobert smiled and said, "I will offer a sacrifice to Mr. Fool around 5 o'clock.
"Well, the large amount of cash I acquired from the Beyonder characteristics was also sacrificed at that time."
Klein manipulated "The World": "Okay."
At this point, this Tarot Club came to an end. After chatting about some interesting things that happened last week, Klein announced the end of this Tarot Club.
...
Forsaken Land of the Gods, City of Silver.
Returning to the real world, Derrick looked at the candle on the table as usual. Fortunately, it was not extinguished.
Then he stared at the dim roof for a while. When discussing the former Chief's problem, he could feel the respect of other members.
He recalled the Emperor's help to him all along, allowing him to conduct transactions with the outside world more conveniently. He believed that the Emperor's help was precisely because of such psychology.
This made Derrick feel both proud and sad.
Pride because City of Silver has never given up. It is commendable to constantly explore and persevere.
Sad because they have to do this!
Then, Derrick thought of the murals displayed by the "Hanged Man". He lay on the bed, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
At the Tarot Club, he had been trying his best to restrain his grief.
The pain that he had suppressed in his heart now emerged and became uncontrollable.
Derrick did not wipe his tears. He vowed that this was the last time he would cry! He vowed that if the sun did not return, he would be the sun of City of Silver! He vowed to protect City of Silver forever from the invasion of evil gods such as the "True Creator"!
...
Northern Continent, Feysac Kingdom, South Colson area, Green Meadow Manor.
Hobert and Fors returned to the real world together again. The two did not rush to get up.
Fors held Hobert's hand: "Thinking about it now, City of Silver is not easy."
"Yes." Hobert squeezed Fors's soft hand: "So help if you can."
Then he got up and said: "I have to go back to Backlund. I spent too much money at this gathering."
Fors smiled and said: "But the harvest is not small."
Hobert put on his coat and said, "Well," "There are no social engagements tonight. We will have dinner together at the Lord's Mansion."
"Okay."
Hobert kissed Fors on the forehead and used "Traveling" to return to Backlund. He opened the safe and started counting money.
He calculated that the cost of this Tarot Club was 28,850 pounds, plus 6,500 pounds for acquiring the Black-haired Baboon and Psychedelic Wind Chime Tree yesterday, and 13,000 pounds for helping "Little Sun" purchase the potion formula. The cost for these two days was as high as 48,350 pounds!
And this time, Hobert's income at the Tarot Club, not counting the 4 Beyonder ingredients from "Little Sun", and deducting Fors's 500 pounds, the final income was 5,500 pounds!
Then he still needs to sacrifice 42,850 pounds to "The Fool"!
Looking at the gold pounds in the second safe also bottoming out, Hobert couldn't help but sigh: Have I been spending too much money lately?
This acquisition will take some time to recover the capital, and Hobert is now investing in the construction of Longtail Island at all costs. Although he used "Creator Logistics" to save a lot of money, he has already invested more than 20,000 pounds in just over a month.
The "Earl of Light" light bulb factory and wire factory have been mass-produced. The initial investment is very large, and Hobert has recently invested more than 20,000 pounds.
In order to seize the rule of Longtail Island, Hobert has also spent nearly 90,000 pounds. Fortunately, with the cooperation of Bishop Jodi, about 50,000 pounds have been "repatriated" so far, otherwise, Hobert's money in the safe would not be enough to pay for this expense at the Tarot Club.
Hobert returned to the "Nation of Disorder" and "bestowed" upon himself three "Worms of Time." As he prepared to leave the "Nation of Disorder," he glanced at the 150,000 pounds and over 80,000 gold Lire stored there.
This money came from large transactions with Miss Sharon and Simpson. Because Hobert had plenty of money recently, he hadn't touched these savings.
He hesitated for a moment, deciding to leave the deposit untouched for now. There was still around 15,000 pounds in cash in the safe, which should last him for a while.
After counting the money and taking the "Worms of Time," it was already past 4:30 PM. Hobert simply performed the sacrifice to "The Fool" ahead of time.
Then, he conducted the "bestowal" ritual and obtained the Beyonder characteristics and materials traded at the Tarot Gathering.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, he sacrificed the traded items to the "Nation of Disorder," sealing what needed to be sealed and shattering what needed to be shattered.
By the time he returned to the Lord's manor in South Colson, it was already past 5 PM.
Fors and Donna were already waiting in the dining room. Hobert smiled and said, "I heard we're having fish tonight?"
"That's right," Donna replied with a smile. "I caught some big fish at the dockyard island when I was off yesterday!"
Just as Hobert was about to compliment her, Helen, the captain of the Special Operations Department's Second Team, hurried in from outside: "Lord! It's fortunate you're at the manor. Something major has happened on the West Bank."
Hobert was taken aback: "The Blood Sanctify Sect isn't attacking again, are they?"
"We can't rule out that possibility!" Helen said. "An entire village has already died! Teacher Dunn is also at the scene."
"He believes it was an attack by an Beyonder of the 'Death' pathway. Teacher Dunn organized an encirclement once, but they got away!
"It can't be ruled out that they are helpers hired by the Blood Sanctify Sect, because they are very familiar with the situation on the West Bank!"
Hobert frowned: "You're saying an entire village has died?"
"That's right!"
Hobert stood up and picked up his cane: "We'll go take a look at the West Bank immediately."
Fors and Donna wanted to go too, but because Hobert only had one mystical item with "travel" abilities, he had Helen arrange to pick them up later.
Supporting Helen's shoulder, Hobert arrived at the West Bank.
They arrived at a valley with lush vegetation, but among the vegetation were many white skeletons.
In the distance, there were even small hills made of various bones, about the size of a mound.
Dunn, Elliott, and others were not far away. Elliott was the captain of the extraordinary team provided to Hobert by the Balk family, and is currently undergoing training as an official Beyonder in Jeffrey City.
Once Elliott completely digests the "Baron of Corruption" potion, he will take the "Mentor of Disorder" potion provided by Hobert, becoming a Sequence 5.
Because the case required a large number of people, Dunn also called them in for support.
In addition, there were several members of the Second Team, who were the main force investigating the case.
After Hobert appeared, Dunn led the team over: "This case needs your help."
Then he pointed to a man in his thirties with light yellow hair: "This is Raymond of the Second Team. His team was the first to discover the Beyonder elements of this incident."
Raymond stepped forward and respectfully called out: "Lord!"
Then he began to report: "In the past week, the security team of Lobi Town has received several similar reports. Basically, people in each village have discovered that someone seems to be lurking around the cemetery at night.
"The security team in the town sent people to investigate and found that there were cases of corpses being stolen.
"During the investigation, they encountered attacks similar to zombies, so they handed the case over to the Special Operations Department.
"After divination, we found that the corpses were actually crawling out of their graves on their own, so we determined that this was a Beyonder case.
"After careful investigation, we found that anomalies actually started appearing three weeks ago. At that time, the corpses of people who died in Lobi Town disappeared, and were found in a very remote place the next day."
Hobert was stunned: "Three weeks ago?"
"Yes, yes."
Hobert nodded. It was probably around that time that Mr. Azik came to Jeffrey Territory.
Although he had only heard the beginning, he could almost be certain that this case was related to an Beyonder in the "Death" domain, and it might not be a helper of the Blood Sanctify Sect.
After all, the Blood Sanctify Sect is not a small organization, and it is unlikely that they would ask Beyonders from other pathways to help them raid Jeffrey Territory.
To be precise, according to the intelligence gathered in the last few months, the Blood Sanctify Sect has only tried to infiltrate Jeffrey Territory, and there has been no sign of a large-scale attack.
Raymond continued to report that after their investigation and ambush, they found nothing unusual. Until the day before yesterday, Mike reported to the town government. After Raymond and the other two communicated with him, they realized that Mike was already dead!
They returned to the village before Mike and found that the people in the village were also dead, but they didn't seem to realize that they were dead and were still working as usual.
Raymond and others did not find any useful clues. When they were about to leave the village, they found a pale white skeleton in the village.
Just as they were about to pick up the skeleton, it turned into powder in front of them.
At the same time, everyone in the village seemed to suddenly realize something. After saying goodbye to their families, or after some unbelievable crying or screaming, they all turned into corpses.
Raymond, who had lost the lead, asked Dunn for help. Dunn arrived at the scene in the evening.
Based on his experience, the skeleton should have been left in the village by an Beyonder of the "Death" pathway, allowing the villagers to move as Zombies.
And the corpses that crawled out of the graves before should also be the effect of this skeleton.
This inference was made because Dunn took out a map, marked the location of the skeleton, and also marked the locations where cases such as corpses crawling out of the cemetery had occurred before. Obviously, the location of the skeleton was in the very center.
Hobert couldn't help but admire after seeing the map marked by Dunn: Professional things should be done by professional people. For such cases, only experienced people like Dunn can quickly sort out the broken clues and find new ones.
