Chapter 5: The Curse in the Bloodline Nueva hace 21 horas

"The Fool" Klein smiled bitterly: I really don't know, but it's better that way. After all, this is a mysterious world where even discussing certain people or events can bring disaster. "The Emperor" knows a lot of secret knowledge. It was definitely a good decision to bring him in.

"Justice" Audrey: How terrifying, how terrifying. Is this the Beyonder world? Just talking about some people can bring disaster.

"The Hanged Man" Alger: The knowledge "The Emperor" possesses about the Mystical seems very advanced. Fortunately, I did not show any contempt for him earlier.

Hobert continued: "Later, during the era of the Four Emperors, the Antigonus family became a prominent family because they supported the rule of the Blood Emperor. However, after the Blood Emperor fell, Antigonus was hunted by the gods and lost control for certain reasons. The kingdom he built was also destroyed. "There are also rumors that Antigonus still sleeps in his palace in Hornacis, but no one can verify this. "After that, there was no more news about the Antigonus family. It is believed that even if some of their descendants escaped the hunt by the gods, they are now merely side branches and cannot restore their former glory."

The other three fell into varying degrees of silence. The idea of "being hunted by the gods" shocked them greatly. Although they all believed in the existence of gods, hearing about the deeds of the gods made them want to cover their ears.

Klein also noticed that Hobert said "Antigonus was hunted by the gods" and not the Antigonus family, suggesting that the founder of the Antigonus family and the one hunted by the gods might be the same person.

As for the possibility that Antigonus still sleeps in his palace in Hornacis, this was very valuable information for Klein, almost explaining the whispers he heard when he became a Beyonder.

Seeing everyone's silence, Hobert felt a bit helpless. He had been very cautious, avoiding mentioning Adam and Amon, the two Kings of Angels, and not saying that Antigonus was a descendant of an ancient god, the "little brother" of the Goddess of the Night.

He didn't expect that even this carefully processed information would still shock everyone so much.

"The Hanged Man" even began to suspect: Could "The Emperor" be like Mr. Fool, a god waking up? Otherwise, how could he know so many hidden secrets?

With a try-it-and-see attitude, he asked: "Mr. Emperor, besides the Church of Storms, where else can one obtain the potion formula for 'Wind Blessed'? What kind of payment do I need to make for this information?"

"I haven't thought of the exact payment yet, so you can owe me. I'll ask when I need something," Hobert didn't plan to give "The Hanged Man" a welcoming gift. "As for the value of my information, you can ask Mr. Fool to witness."

"The Hanged Man" was stunned. He didn't expect "The Emperor" to actually know other ways to get the Sailor pathway potions: "No problem!"

Hobert asked: "Have you heard of the Elf race?"

"I have," replied The Hanged Man, "but that race was wiped out a long time ago."

"Yes, the Elf race no longer exists," said Hobert, "but don't underestimate ancient mythical creatures. Perhaps some of their powerful members can still use certain Beyonder items to preserve their will. "Of course, I don't recommend seeking out such Beyonder items because it is very dangerous. "As you may know, the Beyonder pathway that the Elves mastered is the same as yours. "Furthermore, according to my knowledge, there are many Elf relics at sea. I believe you can find what you are looking for there."

"The Hanged Man" fell silent. He had to admit that Hobert provided him with a new, feasible approach.

"The Fool" also fell into thought, realizing that many hidden Beyonder events occurred in the distant Second and Third Epochs, and these events still influence the current era.

"Justice" felt a strong curiosity about the ancient mythical creatures but was too embarrassed to ask since Hobert had just given her a "welcome gift."

After a dozen seconds, "The Hanged Man" said: "Thank you for your answer. I will repay you with equivalent information in the future."

Next came the information exchange session. Hobert sat silently in his chair until "The Fool" announced the end of the gathering.

Back in reality, Hobert reflected on the gathering. "Master Klein" had given him a good idea.

At this point, he suddenly thought that sticking with the protagonist would definitely be beneficial, given the protagonist's aura.

In the afternoons after class, Hobert usually played cricket or practiced fencing with classmates, or went swimming in hot weather. He often marveled at how much healthier university students' leisure activities were in a time without the internet.

But today, due to his mother's instructions, Hobert took a taxi home after school.

When he first crossed over, Hobert had taken public carriages home for several days to save money since it only cost 6 pence, while a taxi cost 2 to 3 soli depending on its class.

However, when his foster mother found out, she severely criticized him because his behavior might make neighbors or classmates think the Jeffreys were going bankrupt or being too harsh on their foster child.

Hobert had to conform to the local values, keeping his frugal habits to himself.

Upon entering the courtyard, the butler took Hobert's schoolbag and said: "Master Hobert, the master wishes to speak with you in the study."

"Alright." Hobert followed the butler to the study door, where the butler knocked and announced him.

After receiving permission, Hobert opened the door and first saw his foster father sitting behind the desk.

He looked only in his thirties, clean-shaven, and even with a smile, exuded a strong sense of authority.

Before Hobert crossed over, there was some estrangement between him and his foster parents. After crossing over, this estrangement grew. He always called them father and mother, not like Donna and Tyron, who called them dad and mom.

Christian pointed to the chair opposite the desk: "Sit down."

Hobert felt very willing to obey his foster father's command, believing it was because Christian was an Beyonder.

Christian asked: "I heard you've been quite distracted lately, experiencing insomnia and occasionally showing signs of madness?"

Hobert was surprised: "I have tried hard to hide my madness."

"Some things cannot be hidden just because you want to." Christian sighed, "It's been a long time since we talked about your biological father, hasn't it?"

"Yes." Hobert hadn't expected his foster father to bring up his biological parents, saving him the trouble of finding a way to ask.

Christian said: "Your family bloodline carries a curse!"
