Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Regarding Viscount Graylint's words, Hobert took a sip of red wine and smiled. Looking at the neat dining table, he suddenly thought of the food in a cheap cafe.

After finishing the desserts and fruits, and drinking a few more sips of tea, the entire dinner process was finally over.

Gray Lint stood up and said: "I still have many questions to ask about the 'Medicine Master'. Please follow me to the study."

When the two of them arrived in the study, Gray Lint took out his pocket watch and looked at it before whispering: "Mr. Hobert, I invited you here because there is something I want you to investigate for me."

Hobert sat opposite the Viscount: "Logically speaking, we are all the founders of the 'Justice League', and I should help. However, your commission is too dangerous. I'm sorry, but I refuse."

Gray Linte was stunned: "I haven't said what the commission is yet!"

"I only know that when we were preparing the potion for you, someone was keeping an eye on us." Hobert leaned back in his chair: "I am just a Sequence 8, and my father is not very important. I don't want to participate in the aristocracy. In the midst of the struggle between them.”

Gray Linte smiled and said, "You are more alert than I thought."

He said: "Let me tell you my commission first. You can choose not to accept it."

Hobert smiled bitterly and said: "Dear Viscount, there are some things that may cause me some trouble just by knowing about them."

Gray Linte said: "Don't worry, no one is eavesdropping on our conversation. The person who secretly monitored me left after confirming that I had taken the 'Medicine Master' potion in the afternoon."

He opened his pocket watch and showed it to Hobert. The pocket watch seemed to be old, and he didn't know if it was broken. The hands stopped there motionless.

Gray Linte said: "This is a magical item. As long as I am being monitored or monitored, the hands of the pocket watch will move normally. If no one is monitoring, monitoring or watching us, the hands will remain motionless."

Hobert thought about it, and indeed remembered that Gray Linte often looked at his pocket watch. He used to think that the Viscount had a strong sense of time, but now he realized that it was him who was checking to see if anyone was watching him.

"Okay." Hobert said, "I'll listen to your request first, but you have to explain the dangers of the request."

"I have been observing you for a while. You have handled some extraordinary events very carefully and professionally. I think even if you fail to complete the commission, you will not bring danger to us." Gray Lint took it out of the drawer. A sketch:

"The commission is actually very simple. I would like to ask you to retrieve a ring belonging to my father. This is the shape of the ring I drew in the afternoon."

The style of the ring looked very ordinary, with the words on the side: gold, with a red gemstone.

Glaint looked at the ring and took a long breath: "On my eighteenth birthday, my father told me that the origins and family history of the Glaint family are in that ring, and there are also legacy items left by our ancestors. a lot of valuable information.

"My father once said that when I get married, he will let me inherit this ring and continue to write glory for the family.

"But……"

Gray Linte said coldly: "But, I did not find this ring on my father's body."

His usual warm temperament disappeared without a trace, and he looked as cold as a different person.

Hobert memorized the shape of the ring: "I remember that your father died of illness, right?"

Grayling nodded: "That's what they said."

Hobert did not ask who "they" meant: "The contents of the ring may have fallen into the hands of the enemy."

"No." Viscount Gray Lint said: "It requires a spell to open the ring's space, and only my father and I know that spell."

He added: “In addition, they did not give me my father’s extraordinary characteristics.

"Yes, that's right. I don't know anything about the extraordinary world. The Gray Lint family has actually always been a family of extraordinary people.

“But in my generation, because I was an only child and taking the magic potion was in danger of losing control, my father only allowed me to take the magic potion after I had children, just to be on the safe side.

"But I didn't expect that my father would die of illness before I got married, and I would also be under surveillance."

Gray Lint smiled coldly: "Only if I take the potion that is not a threat to them, can they feel completely at ease and give up monitoring me."

These plans and thoughts must have been suppressed for a long time. After Gray Linte finished speaking, his expression was obviously much relieved.

He covered his face and said: "Although I have escaped their surveillance, I may never be able to avenge my father."

Hobert was always being a good listener, and as he said before, he didn't want to get involved in the fight between the nobles.

After a long while, Viscount Graylingt came out of his emotions: "As for the risks of this commission, I don't know, because I don't know whether my father's ring was hidden before he was alive, or whether it was taken away by the murderer. .

"These all require you to investigate. Of course, safety must be the first priority. If you sense danger, you can give up the active investigation. In short, the choice is in your hands.

“It is most important to me to maintain the legacy of the Gray Lint family, so the family history and those precious materials must be retrieved.

“This will be a long-term commission, and I know very well that it may take several years or even more than ten years to produce results. From today on, I will not talk to you about this matter again until you gain something.

"As for the reward, I can only say that it will definitely satisfy you."

Hobert thought for a moment before saying: "Mr. Viscount, I have to say that your caution is the most correct choice."

He said: "Unless I encounter obvious clues, I will investigate again after I am stronger and have more means to avoid danger."

Gray Lint smiled and said, "Your commitment is enough."

Although he has gotten rid of the monitor, Gray Lint seems to have already developed the habit of performing. When he sent Hobert out, he was still discussing some occult issues with Hobert with great interest. When Hobert After Te got on the carriage, he still looked like he was still unsatisfied.

Hobert smiled and said, "Nobles also have their own difficulties."

Back home, Hobert heard from the housekeeper that Christine was still in the study, so he knocked on the door and told Christine about his plan to use Upton as bait.

Kristen nodded: "Sounds good."

Then he suddenly said another thing: "I made a very important choice before, and now it's time to pay for that choice, and this may affect you.

"In about half a year, you will have to pay attention to every question I ask and make your choice after careful consideration."

Hobert was stunned. It seemed that not only the nobles of Backlund could not help themselves, but Christine also seemed to have his own reasons: "Okay, I will pay attention."

Back in his room, Hobert couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He always felt that today's conversation with Gray Lint and Christine was very informative, and he felt like "a storm is about to come".

At midnight, Hobert calmed down and fell asleep quickly. He had to read the "Life Bible" again the next day.

On Wednesday morning, Hobert went out early to "visit clients" again, spent the morning reading classics at Harvest Church, and also had lunch.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Upton entered the church in a panic: "I just put on the 'Astrologer's Hair' and I immediately sensed the danger."
