Chapter 20 The First Believer
Elliott's words gave Hobert a more concrete understanding of the original owner's biological father, whom he had never met.
Moreover, Rex's power exceeded Hobart's previous expectations. He had thought that Rex might just be a "middle-sequence" extraordinary being, but after hearing Elliott's answer, Hobart realized that Rex was at least a demigod!
Elliott continued, "According to some family records, my ancestors once suspected that the family curse came from a powerful 'Prisoner' who was skilled in curses and foul language."
"So for the past few decades, we have been hunting down Beyonders on the 'Prisoner' pathway in search of the source of the curse, but unfortunately we have not yet obtained the information we are looking for."
Hobert was taken aback: "Before you met Rex, you didn't even have the protection of a demigod, yet you didn't suffer any retaliation from the powerful beings of the 'Prisoner' pathway?"
Elliott said, "We have a high-sequence 'sealed artifact' that can form a chaotic barrier, protecting a small area from being found by anyone."
At this point, Elliott had no more secrets from the powerful figure above him and revealed all the secrets of his family.
Of course, in his view, it didn't matter whether he said it or not, because the other party had already broken through the Chaos Barrier and descended into the town, which showed that the other party was much stronger than that high-sequence "sealed artifact".
Hobert pondered for a moment and understood that since it could form a chaotic barrier, it must be a "sealed object" of the "Lawyer" pathway, which turned the orderly state in a certain area into a distorted state.
"Disorderly Kingdom" is a "super seal" of the "Lawyer" path. What "seal" of this path can be ranked higher than "Disorderly Kingdom"?
Therefore, Hobert in the "Land of Chaos" completely ignores the "sealed artifacts" that protect the Balk family.
Having figured this out, Hobart continued, "Although I am somewhat interested in your family's curse, a Sequence 4 pledge of allegiance is not enough for me to lift your curse."
"I will continue to watch over you, but without my permission, you are not allowed to reveal my existence!"
Elliott was somewhat disappointed, but still replied respectfully, "As you command."
Hobart added, "If you show signs of losing control again, you may chant my name, but next time I help you, I will need a real sacrifice."
Elliott became excited. As long as the out-of-control process was stopped, it would be equivalent to temporarily suppressing the curse in the family, which would be a blessing for the family.
He almost knelt on the ground: "I hear your esteemed name!"
Hobart solemnly declared: "O Creator in the shadow of order;
You are the source and the end of all order;
You are the master of the laws, holding the clock of order.
Then he withdrew his power, and the image of the "Iron Throne" disappeared from Elliott's head. However, Elliott did not dare to look up for a long time. He did not know whether he was excited or afraid. In any case, he knelt on the ground and trembled all over!
Moreover, He is a "Creator," and the abilities He has demonstrated indicate that He is a high-sequence individual in the "Lawyer" pathway!
The elders in the family once said that only those with high-sequence abilities through the "lawyer" pathway have any hope of breaking the curse! So, does He really have the ability to break the family's curse?
Unfortunately, the family didn't have any offerings that interested this powerful figure!
I really want to tell everyone this news! But He doesn't allow others to know of His existence.
Elliott sighed, knowing he could only try to please Him in the future so that He would pay more attention to His people.
……
In "The Land of Chaos," Hobert felt his spirituality was almost exhausted, so he quickly left "The Land of Chaos."
Back in reality, Hobart had a splitting headache and heard incoherent babbling in his ears. He lamented that his spirituality was still too weak; his current limit was half an hour in the "Land of Chaos," after which he needed five or six hours to recover. He estimated that once he fully "digested" the "Lawyer's" potion, he should be able to stay there for an hour at a time.
After resting for more than ten minutes, the splitting headache and the disturbing mutterings gradually disappeared, and Hobart was finally able to calm down and think.
It is no coincidence that not only one family suffered from the curse of "Mad Howl," but that all the curses were Sequence 9 that produced the "Lawyer" pathway.
Hobert then thought that the Balk family had a high-sequence "sealed artifact" of the "lawyer" path. This family must have produced a strong person of the "lawyer" path, and the family is very likely to be an extraordinary family that has mastered the "lawyer" path!
But the Balker family? Never heard of them before!
Then he thought that the two stars emitting white light were people suffering from the "mad howling curse".
But in the first star, the middle-aged man named Raft Pound was not tormented by the curse!
While pondering, Hobart gradually fell asleep and slept soundly until dawn.
The following morning, Hobart, full of energy, followed Christine in a two-wheeled carriage to the Mercenary Club on Queen Road.
The club is a large courtyard on Queen's Road. Although such a courtyard is not particularly eye-catching, it is considered a luxury for a club to have such facilities.
When they arrived at the gate, Colonel Bruno's carriage was already waiting there. Christine greeted him through the carriage window, and the two carriages entered the gate together.
There were seven or eight security guards in black at the gate. They carefully checked Christine's badge and conducted a routine questioning of Hobart, who did not have a badge, before letting them in.
Joining the Mercenary Club requires introductions from two official members, and Christine brought Colonel Bruno along to complete the introduction of Hobart.
The club's membership fee was a whopping £80! That was expensive for Hobart, but for professional mercenaries or military personnel, it was definitely worth every penny.
However, Hobert's total savings amounted to less than £80. Fortunately, Christine paid his membership fee and introduced him to the receptionist: "This is my eldest son, Hobert. He wants to find a place to practice shooting. In a little while, you can introduce him to the club and show him around the shooting range and the process of picking up a gun."
The receptionist immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Christine, we will definitely take good care of Mr. Hobart."
Christine then said to Hobart, "Don't go home too late this afternoon, lest your mother worry. Colonel Bruno and I have some business to attend to, so we won't accompany you to your shooting practice."
Hobert nodded. "Yes, Father. Thank you for the introduction, Colonel Bruno."
Colonel Bruno smiled and shook hands with Hobart before following Christine away.
Only then did the receptionist step forward and say, "Mr. Hobart, this way please."
