The Vampire Servant Opens Early

Chapter 42 The Vampire Servant Opens Early

The person described by the other party looked very much like that giant bishop named something like somethingski. Hobert guessed that it must be him; there couldn't possibly be so many people in Backlund who would "lay down their butcher's knives and become Buddhas on the spot."

Hobart decided to test the waters: "I think I understand now. The person you're talking about wants to defeat their past, evil, bloodthirsty personality, right?"

The other person excitedly shifted their posture: "Your description is very accurate. What method should we use to solve this problem?"

"Before that, let's talk about compensation," Hobart said.

The other party said, "How about £120 in cash?"

Hugh's eyes widened in disbelief. Could he really earn over a hundred pounds from this?

She just saw someone selling the "Sheriff's" potion recipe for 450 pounds!

Although the commission completed in collaboration with Hobart could have earned a substantial sum, it still wouldn't have been enough to cover £450.

But how come this "lawyer" makes money so fast?

Hobart replied, "I'd rather get the 'Pharmacist's' potion recipe from you than cash."

Everyone in the room except Hobart was stunned. Hugh and the others immediately looked at Viscount Grelint, and then at the trader sitting opposite them.

The hooded trader then stood up, seemingly preparing to flee: "How did you know?"

Audrey deduced from his body language that he was very insecure; he seemed more like a fugitive, as if someone might jump out at any moment to grab him and collect the bounty.

Hobert had obtained the information he wanted, and judging from the other party's reaction, it was undoubtedly the Giant Bishop!

At the same time, he also knew why the other party was so insecure. After all, the Kingdom of Rune was not the main area of ​​worship of the Earth Mother Goddess, so the priests and believers of the Earth Mother Goddess would not trust the heretics here.

Hobart quickly reassured him, "A friend of mine is a follower of the Earth Mother Goddess. I vaguely heard about the bishop's ordeal from him. I've forgotten his name, but I remember it had a very Fussac Empire style, something like something-something-something-ski!"

The other person breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again: "It's Bishop Utravsky."

Then he asked, "What's your friend's name?"

There are quite a few casual followers of the Mother Goddess of Backlund, but only a few dozen devout followers, and he knows almost all of them.

Hobart blurted out, "Emlyn!"

The other person was clearly taken aback: "I don't remember having such a believer." If Hobart hadn't blurted it out, he would have thought that the other person had made up a name.

Hobart waved his hand: "This doesn't affect our deal, nor does it affect our establishment of basic mutual trust."

The other party nodded, paused for a second or two, and then said, "Your offer is too high. My bottom line is 150 pounds, while the 'Pharmacist's' potion recipe is worth at least 230 pounds."

"Perhaps we can make a three-way deal," Grylint suddenly said. "I will pay Mr. Hobart 150 pounds in cash, and then I will pay you 100 pounds in cash, in exchange for the 'Pharmacist's' potion recipe."

"This means that I spent £250 to buy the recipe, while the two people received £150 in payment and £100 in cash compensation."

"Then you can make the transaction, and then we'll be even."

The other party shook their head: "Sorry, we are here to spread the glory of the Mother Goddess, not to sell potion recipes."

He told Grylint, "Bishop Utravsky is indeed permitted to exchange the potion recipe for a chance at self-redemption, but we cannot sell the recipe; we can only conduct transactions related to the occult."

"Of course, if you begin to devoutly believe in the glory of the Earth Mother Goddess and make some contributions to the religion, you will have a chance to obtain the formula."

He was a servant of the gods who came to Backlund with Bishop Utravsky, so he knew all the inside information.

Grynt was somewhat disappointed: "I don't want to change my faith because of this."

Hobert said, "That can be done. You can owe me today's payment first. Later, when I provide some assistance to Bishop Utravsky, I will ask the bishop to pay me the full amount using the 'Pharmacist's' potion recipe."

For example, bringing "Mr. Moriarty," who could completely solve the problem, to the Giant Bishop would be a piece of cake for me, but that would have to wait until my dear "Mr. Fool" became Sequence 7.

Audrey, who was standing to the side, suddenly felt that Hobart's words "you owe me for now" sounded familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't remember owing Hobart anything!

The other person thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

"Let me tell you how to overcome your past self first," Hobart said. "This requires the help of a 'middle-sequence' Beyonder through the 'spectator' pathway, or the use of Beyonder items of the same level, and also the participation of a 'middle-sequence' Beyonder skilled in combat."

"The specific method is to ask the extraordinary individuals through the 'audience' pathway to separate the evil and bloodthirsty personality of Bishop Utravsky, and then hypnotize or pull the separated personality together with the extraordinary individuals who are good at fighting into the dream world."

"In the dream world, Bishop Utravsky can achieve true redemption by killing the independent personality of the extraordinary one who is skilled in combat."

After Hobart finished explaining the method, the room became unusually quiet.

Audrey's eyes lit up; she never expected that she would have such mysterious and unpredictable abilities after becoming a "middle sequence" extraordinary individual.

Hugh and Fors felt as if they were experiencing the extraordinary world for the first time, and they were amazed that they could defeat themselves like this.

Grynt, however, seemed thoughtful, and his gaze toward Hobart changed somewhat.

After a few seconds of silence, the other party said, "This method sounds very feasible, but where are we going to find 'middle-sequence' Beyonders using the 'audience' pathway?"

Has the Giant Bishop not yet obtained the "Nightmare Candle"?

Hobert realized that if the Giant Bishop already had the Nightmare Candle, he wouldn't need to search the world for a way to defeat him.

Thinking of this, he shrugged: "If I help you find the person, the reward won't just be a 'Pharmacist's' potion."

The other person nodded: "You're right."

He added, "Your answer is indeed worth £150!"

Hobart smiled and said, "My name is Hobart, and I am a lawyer."

"When I go to offer new assistance to Bishop Utravsky and collect debts, I will state my name and profession."

The other person stood up and said, "You are a generous and trustworthy gentleman!"

After the transaction was completed, Hobart and the other four left the party and went to Viscount Grynt's carriage. Hugh couldn't help but remind Hobart, "Aren't you afraid that Bishop Utshyosky will renege on the deal?"

Hobart smiled and said, "The bishop may run away, but the church can't. If he doesn't acknowledge the debt, I'll sell everything in his church to pay it off."

He seemed nonchalant about the compensation for this transaction, but in reality, he knew that Bishop Utravsky was always trying to redeem himself and would not easily deceive others in such matters.

That's why he was so comfortable letting the other party owe him money.

Hobart laughed again, "And only by doing this can I obtain the 'Pharmacist's' potion recipe."
