Chapter 68 The Solomon Family
dong dong~
Hobart drew his gun again and looked up at the building warily.
The sound of the door being banged on stopped after a few times. Of course, Hobart wouldn't go up to check as soon as he heard the sound, like the protagonist in a horror movie.
He quickly picked up a notebook and went out into the yard to look through it.
Opening the notebook, the cover page features an abstract image of a scepter and sword, resembling a family crest.
As for which family it was, Hobart didn't know, but he soon got the answer from his notes: it was the coat of arms of the Solomon family, and the Henry family was actually a descendant of the Solomon family.
Hobert smiled as if he had expected it; indeed, it was an extraordinary family that had followed the "lawyer" pathway.
After the fall of the ancient sun god, Solomon, with the support of the "True Creator" and the "Redemption Rose," became the ruler of the northern continent, thus beginning the era of the Solomon Empire.
Later, the six gods reached a consensus and joined forces to destroy the "True Creator." Under their attack, the "True Creator" was forced to take a portion of his followers and hide in the "Forsaken Land."
Solomon, the "Black Emperor," became a victim of this struggle, and from that time onward, the Solomon family was persecuted by all the orthodox churches.
A large family like Solomon's must have had survivors, and Solomon was later resurrected once and established the Second Solomon Empire, which essentially revitalized this extraordinary family.
Solomon fell once again during the War of the Four Emperors, and the six gods supported the families of Augustus and Castile to rule. There were no more true gods ruling the secular governments on earth, and thus began the history of the Fifth Age.
The Solomon family went into hiding once again, waiting for Solomon's resurrection. However, there has been no news of the descendants of the Solomon family for the past few centuries, which suggests that their strength has diminished over the long years.
More than a hundred years ago, Emperor Roselle forcibly jumped to a non-adjacent sequence and became the new "Black Emperor," and Solomon completely fell. This must have been another heavy blow to the Solomon family.
The contents of the notes confirmed Hobert's knowledge: in the early Fifth Age, in order to escape the persecution of the Church of the True God, the survivors of the Solomon family broke up into smaller groups and scattered across the northern continent as family units.
The Henry family are descendants of one of the scattered families from years ago. According to the notes, they hadn't heard from other family members for over two hundred years. At that time, a young member of the family wanted to bring everyone back together, establish a secret and extraordinary organization, and seize the opportunity to restore their ancestors' glory.
However, their long-term dispersed living arrangements turned this extraordinary family into a disorganized mess. It's unknown what other families chose, but Henry's family chose to refuse.
And so, the family lived carefree for more than two centuries until modern Henry's family dwindled to just the three of them.
Besides recording the family history, the notebook also contains a great deal of extraordinary knowledge. For a wild extraordinary individual, this knowledge is invaluable, and it also shows the profound heritage of the extraordinary family.
The notes also mention that they possess a Solomon family seal artifact, but unfortunately, the notes do not record how to seal it.
Hobart also noticed some new handwriting in the blank spaces in the notes concerning rituals in the "Death" realm. Considering that the occult symbol used in the rituals performed by Henry and his wife was an inverted triangle, it can be almost deduced that the deaths of Henry and his wife were caused by rituals in the "Death" realm.
That's incredibly bold!
Hobart marveled at the audacity of performing rituals in the "Grim Reaper" domain without a proper Grim Reaper response ritual and without sufficient occult knowledge.
At this moment, two policemen followed Mr. Polly to Henry's house. Upon seeing the situation inside the house, the middle-aged officer immediately said to the younger officer, "Quickly send a telegram saying that a case has occurred here that we cannot solve, and request special assistance from headquarters."
It seemed the middle-aged police officer knew some of the procedures for handling such extraordinary cases. Instead of going inside, he questioned Hobart and Airley to learn the details of the case.
Hopper described her as having clear thinking and meticulous logic. The middle-aged police officer smiled and said, "If every person reporting a crime could explain it as clearly as you do, our workload would be halved."
He then introduced himself, saying, "You can call me Officer Daniel, Mr. Hobart. I need your assistance in securing the scene until police backup arrives."
Hobart was the real person who reported the crime, so of course we can't let him leave like that.
Hobart knew this too, and he said, "It would be my pleasure."
After seeing the giant dog's carcass in Mr. Airley's backyard, Polly began complaining to Officer Daniel: "Look, officer, that dog, it..."
Daniel raised his hand: "I don't have time to deal with your little things right now."
Having just heard Hobart's description, he already realized that this was a case involving magical elements, and he wouldn't speak carelessly until "special support" arrived.
Polly shrank back and didn't say anything more.
Daniel arrived at Henry's door, took out a handkerchief to cover his nose, and asked Hobert, "Has anyone been inside?"
Hobart held up the notebook in his hand: "I was the only one who went in and took this notebook to look at it."
dong dong dong~
Just then, the sound of banging on the door came from upstairs again.
Hobart was filled with curiosity about the sound. He knew it might be a sign of danger, but he still couldn't suppress his curiosity.
Daniel took a step back in surprise at first, then thought, "Isn't there a sick child in the Henry family? He should still be upstairs."
"It would be a disgrace for me to leave little Henry inside crying and screaming without my timely assistance."
The key issue is that his superiors and special personnel will be arriving soon, and it would be difficult to explain if he left it unattended.
"I'll go with you," Hobart said, seemingly understanding why he was so curious—perhaps the sealed artifact was drawing him in.
Before the official extraordinary beings arrive, it wouldn't be bad to go and see the capabilities of the sealed artifacts.
Considering the allure of the sealed artifact, Hobart believed it should be a sealed artifact obtained through the "lawyer" or "arbitrator" route. Such sealed artifacts are generally related to rules or regulations, which is exactly what Hobart excels at, so there shouldn't be too much danger.
"What a kind young man," Daniel said.
The two checked their weapons and went upstairs together.
