Chapter 45 On the Importance of Eye Insertion

Oops!

Hobert quickly tidied the table: "I'm fine!" Then he hurriedly went to open the door.

Christine stood outside the door, looking concerned. There was nothing she could do; the Hobart family members were just too prone to losing control.

Christine scrutinized Hobert carefully, finally letting out a sigh of relief. When no one was in the corridor, she whispered, "I clearly felt a surge of power just now."

Hobart replied only half-jokingly, "I was just testing my abilities."

Seeing Christine's disbelief, he changed the subject: "Could it be...could it be related to what happened yesterday?"

The doorway wasn't the place to talk, so Christine led Hobert to the study, where Hobert briefly recounted his experiences from the previous day.

Upon hearing that it was related to the Aurora Society, Christine immediately took it seriously and thoroughly examined Hobert from head to toe. After confirming that there were no problems, Christine instructed Hobert to keep a close eye on his condition and to come to her immediately if he noticed anything amiss.

If you are noticed by an evil god, you may not feel anything at the time, but you will gradually be corrupted by the evil god and it will erupt at some point.

Furthermore, Christine and Hobart reached the same conclusion: would Aurora retaliate against Hobart because of an outsider? And as a brigadier general of the kingdom, Christine was not afraid of Aurora's retaliation.

Hobart was only freed after spending more than an hour in the study.

Back in his bedroom, Hobart realized that having a "mid-sequence" powerhouse in the house could indeed protect his safety.

Just like the valuables he received yesterday, he could leave them at home with peace of mind, unlike Fors who had to keep them in his hands all the time.

However, the corresponding problem is that one's secrets are also at risk of being exposed.

He had previously performed a ritual to invoke the power of the goddess of night, but that ritual was relatively simple and didn't cause much of a commotion. Moreover, the goddess held "secret" authority, which Christine did not discover.

But the experiment just now was different. Hobart was unable to precisely control the power projected outward from the "Disordered Kingdom," which caused this surging power to spread outside the "Spiritual Wall" and be noticed by Christine.

Hobart roughly calculated his assets and decided that he could use some of the money to rent a house outside, so that he would have a safe place to attend the "Tarot Meeting" and also be able to conduct his experiments outside.

After waiting for another half hour, Hobart saw that no one was bothering him anymore, so he once again entered the "Land of Chaos" by walking in reverse.

The extraordinary characteristics of the "Mystic" remain unchanged; let him stay here for now. Hobert dares not perform the bestowal ceremony at home.

So Hobert began his routine observation for the day. Since the observation was a bit late, a little dirty talk had already started at Raft's place.

Hobart didn't linger and went to observe Elliott.

It wasn't that Hobert had a habit of spying; he wanted to determine whether Elliott and Raft were trustworthy through observation, and once he reached a conclusion, he didn't plan to observe them so frequently.

Elliott was having dinner with two companions at a restaurant. The food looked plentiful and had a distinct Southern Continent style. The three of them were quietly savoring the delicious food, unlike the other tables around them where people were talking loudly.

Hobert glanced at the restaurant in the Southern Continent. The decor had a strong local style, with many beautiful feather decorations. Moreover, the structure of the house was significantly different from that of the Northern Continent, with wooden pillars and beams visible.

Just as he glanced around, he noticed that the person dining alone in the corner of the restaurant looked somewhat familiar.

Upon closer reflection, Hobert recalled that the person was the middle-aged man who recruited teammates skilled in psychic abilities at the previous mercenary club gathering!

Their mercenary team received a mission to take revenge on the Fusak Empire in the Southern Continent!

Hobert then realized that General Anthony was a warlord secretly supported by the Fussac Empire, which was why they chose to carry out their retaliatory action in General Anthony's territory!

Lost in thought, the middle-aged man got up to pay the bill.

Hobert hesitated for a moment before making up his mind, projecting the image of a middle-aged man into the star representing Elliott, and said in a supreme voice, "Follow him."

As long as no power is projected into the stars, only Elliott will know what Hobert said.

……

In a restaurant in Kansel City, on the Southern Continent.

While Elliott was eating, the image of the imposing figure seated on a throne forged from an iron sword suddenly appeared in his mind. He then saw the appearance of a somewhat unkempt middle-aged man and heard that supreme voice: "Follow him!"

Elliott nearly jumped out of his seat; he took a deep breath to steady himself!

That strange and powerful being had been following me all along?

At the same time, he also saw the middle-aged man who had appeared in his mind paying the bill.

Elliott tried to hide his fear and excitement. He thought of his sister playing in the grass, and his best friend's angelic daughter who was about to turn 12.

In the end, he decided to follow the instructions of the mysterious being!

Elliott's two companions noticed something was wrong with him, and one of them asked, "Is a bone stuck in your throat?"

"No." Elliott forced a smile. "I suddenly remembered something. I'll be back to rest a little later tonight."

Without even checking his companion's reaction, Elliott got up and left the restaurant through the side door.

He carefully observed the middle-aged man, afraid of being discovered.

Cansell is the second largest city in General Anthony's territory. Although it is called a city, it is actually just a commercial district consisting of several horizontal streets, with a simple city wall surrounding it.

In small cities on the southern continent, city walls are a necessary facility, as one day this place may experience the baptism of war.

Tracking people in the city is relatively easy, but as middle-aged people climb over the city walls and leave the city, tracking them becomes more difficult.

Because he dared not follow too closely, Elliott could only judge the direction of the trail by details such as the weeds trampled by the middle-aged man.

Tracking was a required course for Elliott and his friends when they were young. In this dense forest, he was quite confident that he would not be discovered by his higher-sequence extraordinary beings.

After following for some distance, Elliott discovered from the footprints on the grass that the middle-aged man had gathered a large group of people in the woods, and they were heading in the same direction.

After carefully following for over an hour, Elliott found himself on the road leading out of Kanssell. At that moment, a caravan approached from a distance, and judging from the sound of the horses' hooves, it was a large caravan.

Elliott guessed that the middle-aged man's target was this caravan. Just as he found a place to hide, he saw two people with black light flashing around their bodies rush out of the bushes and knock the carriage over.

Then came a chorus of voices calling for "imprisonment," "exile," "distortion," and "weakening."
