Chapter 88 Unlocking New Abilities
Christine replied, "You'll have to experience it for yourself. Remember, playing the extraordinary is an important experience. Others' opinions are just for reference. You must form your own understanding of potions and extraordinary abilities."
Hobert left the study with a heavy heart and returned to his bedroom. He first pondered Christine's words, and then entered the "Land of Chaos" with some eagerness.
Upon entering the "Land of Chaos," Hobart immediately sensed the difference; his spirituality seemed sufficient to sustain him in the "Land of Chaos" for an hour or two.
You can also use the Sacrifice Gate to grab items that don't have much spiritual power, and you can handle two or three sacrifices at once.
However, such a situation is unlikely to occur, since he currently only has one "believer," or two if you include himself.
Then Hobart realized that the blurry figure he had trapped in the pool had become clearer, and he could tell that it was a young man.
This surprised Hobert. Controlling the blurry figure in the pool did not solve the curse problem. As Hobert became stronger, the figure seemed to become more substantial and stronger.
Hobart was truly afraid that one day the figure in the pool would climb up and sit on the "Iron Throne," and the "Land of Chaos" would change hands!
Fortunately, after Hobert advanced, his control over the "Disorderly Kingdom" increased, and the blurry figure has not yet shown any signs of breaking free of control.
We still need to investigate the family curse as soon as possible! Hobert thought to himself, this curse is a ticking time bomb.
After calming himself down, Hobart channeled his spirituality and discovered that the entire mountain where the Iron Throne was located was under his control.
There was a small grove of trees on the mountainside. Before it was under Hobart's control, this grove didn't seem to have anything special about it.
But now, Hobart's inspiration was drawn to the unusual aspects of those trees.
Hobert stood up and took only one step to stand before the trees, which seemed to remain unchanged no matter how much time passed.
Hobert reached out, and a branch appeared in his hand.
His spiritual sense immediately detected the power of the branch; it turned out to be a one-time use magical item!
First, you need to set up the activation spell in advance. When using it, pour spiritual power into it and shout the spell. Insert the branch into the ground, and the branch will immediately grow into a big tree.
The holder can manipulate the order under the canopy, making the order in this area favorable to the holder and unfavorable to the opponent. At the same time, the holder can also distort the opponent's attack targets and the targets of extraordinary abilities.
The entire tree will exist for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the tree will quickly wither and eventually become an ordinary branch.
As Hobert advances, the tree's existence time and range will gradually increase.
When the great tree withers, a new branch will grow on a tree in the "Land of Chaos," and the power of order in the "Source Matter" will neither increase nor decrease.
Once the "Land of Chaos" is fully under control, the tree branches here will become magical items that can be recycled. However, before that, once the branches are used up in the outside world, there is only a very small chance that they can grow back in this forest on the mountainside. They are in a state where once a branch is used, there is one less.
But this is not bad either, as it gives Hobart another trump card.
Hobert looked at the branch in his hand, wondering how he was going to take it with him. He couldn't possibly carry a branch everywhere he went, could he?
Are you suggesting I carry a tree branch to court to defend myself? Just thinking about that makes me seem mentally unstable. Besides, when fighting the enemy, they would definitely notice the tree branch first and take precautions accordingly.
Hobert pondered this for a moment, and after some experimentation, the shape of the branch in his hand did indeed change.
Ultimately, Hobart transformed it into treated ebony. After leaving the "Land of Chaos," he could try attaching the metal head of his cane to the reshaped tree branch.
Hobert sat back on the Iron Throne, named the branch in his hand the "Wood of Order," and activated the spell "Order!"
Soon he prepared to take the "Wood of Order" out in the form of a bestowal.
Looking at the scattered sky of the "Land of Chaos", Hobart suddenly had the idea of building a grand palace here. Otherwise, it would be quite undignified for a "Creator" to "work" in the wilderness.
Thus, a massive hall rose from the ground, and the Iron Throne was placed on a high platform inside the hall, making Hobert appear exceptionally tall.
The pool in front of the Iron Throne resembles a pool between an ancient emperor and his courtiers, adding to Hobart's mystique and sense of distance.
The grand hall came to an abrupt halt just as it was about to cross the pool of water.
Hobert sighed. With his current abilities regarding the "Disorderly Kingdom," this was as far as he could build.
As a result, the "Creator's" palace was left unfinished and could only be continued after advancing to Sequence 7.
Fortunately, there was no one else around, so Hobart didn't feel embarrassed.
Finally, Hobart discovered that his true field of vision projected through the stars had increased several times over. Previously, he could only see the scene around Elliott and Raft, but now he could see it extending seven or eight meters.
Having learned about the changes in the "Land of Chaos," Hobart obtained the "Wood of Order" through a bestowal. He felt his spirituality was about to wither, so he quickly entered a meditative state to restore it.
Having just taken the potion, experiencing spiritual depletion in the past few days is extremely dangerous.
On Sunday, Hobart slept in late. Feeling full of energy and spirituality, he went to the tool shed to get some carpenter's tools, removed the metal head of his cane, and carefully reinstalled it onto the "Wood of Order".
Finally, I sanded it down to remove any marks left from the installation.
Hobert held up his cane and examined it. He thought his craftsmanship was quite good; there was no indication that it had been modified.
After lunch, Hobart took his family's carriage to the Mercenary Club to attend the Extraordinary Gathering.
Just as he had predicted last week, there were still many mercenaries selling magical items at this week's gathering, and they made quite a bit of money this time. They will be the main characters at the gatherings for the next few weeks.
While I was lost in thought, a mercenary stood up: "Selling a magical item."
As he spoke, he took out a small section of candle that looked like it was wrapped in human skin. The wick was about the height of a finger joint, and the whole thing was pitch black with fine, dense, scale-like patterns.
Hobert immediately sat up straight.
The other party explained, "This candle can help you enter your opponent's mental world, making it ideal for interrogation. However, it's best not to use it for too long, as the holder can easily become lost in their own mental world!"
Hobart stared intently at that small section of candle; it really was a Nightmare Candle!
Sequence 8 is here, time to get things going!
