Creditor

Chapter 26 Creditor

Although the Blood Emperor is a true god of the "Red Priest" pathway, he was originally a Sequence 1 of the "Black Emperor" pathway and was converted to a Red Priest of a non-adjacent pathway. Therefore, the Blood Emperor has always been in a semi-mad state.

After the Blood Emperor's fall, his descendants must have longed to restore his former glory, which led to the plan to excavate the ruins of the Tudor Empire.

As for the evil spirits in the ruins, that leads to a conspiracy involving Adam and the Blood Emperor during the Quaternary period.

Hobert took a deep breath. Now it all made sense. The Balk family, far away on the southern continent, was an extraordinary family with the "Black Emperor" pathway.

As descendants of the Blood Emperor, the Pound family must have inherited the potion formula of the Tudor family's "Black Emperor" path. After all, before becoming the "Red Priest," the Blood Emperor was a member of the extraordinary "Black Emperor" family who served the Solomon Empire.

The "Disordered Kingdom" is the source of both the "Black Emperor" and "Judgment" pathways, so within the "Disordered Kingdom," Hobert can see and influence the extraordinary families of the two "Black Emperor" pathways.

"Mr. Emperor?" Audrey was puzzled as to why the Emperor had suddenly froze.

Hobart snapped out of his daze and thought to himself: Miss Justice, you might not believe it, but you just missed an opportunity to pay off a debt.

He said, "Sorry, I was thinking about something else."

"I haven't decided what kind of reward I want yet. I'll ask you for it once I've decided."

Audrey nodded: "Okay."

Then she asked, "I have another question: why did the two royal families become extraordinary families through the 'Arbitrator' pathway because of their loyalty to the Solomon Empire and the Trensost Empire?"

"This involves the issue of adjacent pathways," Hobart said. "You know this too early. I suggest you learn more about Extraordinary Beings before you look into the issue of adjacent pathways."

Audrey was somewhat disappointed: "Alright then."

Klein and Alger were also somewhat disappointed, especially the great "Mr. Fool," who wanted to say, "I already know a lot about extraordinary beings; I can understand the issues concerning adjacent pathways!"

However, reason prevented Klein from speaking, as that would ruin the image of the Fool.

After the first deal was completed, Alger the Hanged Man initiated a second deal, saying to Justice, "I hope you can help me find out something, and you can name your price depending on the difficulty of the problem."

Audrey asked, with a mixture of interest and confusion, "What is it?"

Alger: "I want to know if the Kingdom of Rune intends to retaliate against the Fusak Empire this year or before June next year and start a new war on the eastern coast of Byron."

Hobert was taken aback. Yesterday, at the Mercenary Club, revenge against the Fussac Empire was a common topic of conversation.

He said, "Mr. Hanged Man, I can answer that question for you right now!"

Alger: "Are you...are you sure?"

He asked Miss Justice because she was clearly a noblewoman from the Kingdom of Rune, and if she paid a little attention, she should be able to come across this kind of topic and find out the answer indirectly. But how did the Emperor know?

Alger wasn't the only one surprised; Klein was also taken aback. How could the Emperor know the answer to this question? Could it be that he, like Miss Justice, was a nobleman of the Kingdom of Rune, and happened to have access to such information?

Audrey, however, had gotten used to it and it seemed there was no question the Emperor couldn't answer.

Hobart smiled and said, "It's quite a coincidence that I also learned the answer to your question by chance yesterday."

"Are you asking whether the previous attack on the Rune fleet by the Fusak Empire will trigger a retaliatory attack from the Kingdom of Rune at sea?"

Alger leaned back in his chair, looking somewhat tired. "Yes."

The emperor explained the whole story, and he now believed that the emperor truly knew the answer.

After considering it for a moment, Hobart said, "Is it too much for me to ask for a Sequence 8 extraordinary item with minimal side effects, in addition to the reward for your question today and the reward you owed me at the last gathering?"

Alger breathed a sigh of relief: "That's a fair deal."

This wasn't difficult for him. First, he knew a freelance craftsman, making it easier to obtain extraordinary items.

Secondly, once he gets ashore, he can receive the £1000 cash that Miss Justice had previously paid him. Generally speaking, a Sequence 8 extraordinary trait is worth about £600 or £700, and an extraordinary item of this level is worth about £800 or £900. Of course, there will be a premium, but £1000 should be enough.

Sitting at the end of the long table, "The Fool" Klein suddenly realized that the Emperor had unknowingly become the biggest creditor at the party, even surpassing him, the organizer.

Of course, there was also the reason that in order to maintain the image of "The Fool," it was inconvenient to initiate some "low-end transactions." At this time, Klein desperately hoped that he could have a secondary account.

Hobert said, "As far as I know, the Kingdom of Rune does not intend to retaliate against its old rival, the Fusak Empire, at sea, but is preparing to retaliate against them on the southern continent. However, I do not know the specific location or method of the retaliation."

"Your answer exceeded my expectations," Alger said honestly.

Hobart smiled and said, "I'm glad you're satisfied."

With the transaction phase over, everyone moved on to exchanging information.

Hobert pondered for a moment, then decided to remind Audrey: "Low-sequence Beyonders using the 'Spectator' pathway are not suited for direct combat because your weaknesses are too obvious. If I knew my opponent was a spectator, I would immediately try to blind him, thus depriving him of most of his Beyond abilities."

Audrey fell silent for a moment, then suddenly realized that the extraordinary world was actually quite cruel, and her extraordinary abilities, which she was so proud of, could very well become a prime target for her opponents. If she weren't an extraordinary being, other extraordinary beings might not have attacked her, but now that she had become one, she couldn't afford to be complacent and had to be prepared to face the challenges of other extraordinary beings at all times.

She said sincerely, "Thank you for your reminder, Your Majesty. I will be a good spectator and try my best not to get into conflicts with other extraordinary individuals."

Hobert smiled and said, "I wish you a speedy rise to the 'Middle Sequence' level. I remember that the abilities of 'Audience' level experts are very strange and extremely powerful."

Audrey smiled and said, "Actually, I joined the Extraordinary World out of curiosity, not because I intended to become a strong person in the Extraordinary World."

Hobart shook his head: "From the moment you step into the extraordinary world, your destiny becomes twisted, and you can't do whatever you want."

His feelings stemmed entirely from the fact that the curse of his family had given him a different perspective on the extraordinary world.

However, these words silenced both Klein and Alger. Klein was silent because Professor Azik had told him that there was something incongruous about his fate, and that he had divined the "red chimney" in the gray fog, suggesting that the recent coincidences might not be coincidences at all.

Alger, on the other hand, recalled his unhappy childhood and his experiences after becoming an Extraordinary.
