Backlund, the Earl Hall's villa in the Empress Borough.
Susie felt that the time was almost up, stood up and opened the door with her paws, and sure enough, Audrey was already sitting next to the easel: "Audrey, you look a little sad."
Audrey was holding a pencil, but didn't make a single stroke: "Susie, I only realized today that I don't know the overall picture of this world, I don't even know the overall picture of Backlund."
"No one knows, Audrey." Susie comforted, "I've seen some descriptions in books, this world is too big! So big that it's beyond our imagination."
Audrey smiled: "That's not what I meant, Susie, I just, I just suddenly realized that some of the information I've learned seems to have been filtered."
A surprised expression appeared on Susie's dog face: "Do you mean someone has been observing us in secret, manipulating the information we know, and even controlling what books we read and what delicacies we eat through recommendations?"
"It's not that serious, Susie." Audrey said helplessly, "Don't read those sensational magazines anymore, many articles are deliberately written so exaggerated in order to attract attention."
Susie stretched out her dog paw and scratched her head: "Okay, Audrey, but those poetry collections are really boring to read."
Audrey smiled helplessly. Raising a dog who likes to read is really a headache.
But soon, her eyes became firm: "Susie, I'm going to the East Borough recently, um, it can be arranged after the 'Justice League' gathering. At the gathering, I can ask Mr. Hobert what to pay attention to when going to the East Borough?"
...
Backlund, 192 Blanca Street.
Hobert waited for a few minutes and received Alger's 900-pound bonus, which brought his savings close to 7,500 pounds.
In a few days, he may get a quote for the sealed artifact with the "Travel" ability. 7,500 pounds is still a bit insufficient. Hobert plans to sell the Beyonder characteristics of "Lunatic" and "Werewolf" in his hands.
At the same time, if Klein doesn't come to him, Hobert plans to go to Klein this week to do the task of finding Heyman. Even if the reward for the task is split equally between the two, he can still earn hundreds of pounds.
Hobert waited for a while to avoid Klein from making a surprise attack, and to calm down his mood.
Then, in the way he bestowed upon himself, he took out the main material of "Baron of Corruption" stored in the "Nation of Disorder".
He placed the set of beakers he had bought back on the desk, took out all the auxiliary materials, took a deep breath, and began to prepare the potion.
First is the blood of the Dark Blooded Behemoth. The thick blood is a bit like strawberry jam, but its fishy smell will make people lose all appetite.
Then add the juice of the Elf Tree. These juices look a bit like milk. After adding them to the blood of the Dark Blooded Behemoth, the two immediately reacted. Without stirring, they merged together by themselves, turning into a drink like milk tea.
After that, add dragon tooth grass powder and aged white wine. After adding the auxiliary materials, thin black mist emerged from the beaker. Without heating, the liquid in the beaker bubbled "gurglingly".
Hobert sighed. As expected of a Sequence 6 potion, just adding the auxiliary materials makes it feel like a Sequence 9 potion.
Finally, it was the Beyonder characteristic of the "Baron of Corruption", or rather, the thing formed by the fusion of the two main materials.
It was like a piece of decayed black jade, surrounded by a layer of black mist, looking a bit magical and a bit unreal.
When put into the beaker, a violent change immediately occurred. While more black mist spewed out, the Beyonder characteristic quickly melted, and the materials in the beaker seemed to boil, with larger bubbles popping up "gurglingly".
Soon, the boiling state disappeared, and the bubbles disappeared as well. The potion gradually solidified, turning into a jelly-like substance.
Pour the jelly-like potion into a cup. There was no residue inside the beaker, and it was softer than real jelly. After pouring it into the cup, it immediately changed its shape and landed on the bottom of the cup.
Taking a deep breath, Hobert drank the potion in one gulp. The potion seemed to have life, and it burrowed into his stomach as soon as it entered his mouth.
Boom~
Hobert's thoughts suddenly exploded, and all the dirty deals he knew from his two lives emerged from the depths of his mind.
Hobert tried to restrain his mind and finally controlled the rolling thoughts. At this time, he found that his consciousness had left his body.
At this time, his body was covered with a thin layer of black mist, his skin was turning gray-black inch by inch, and an insidious and greedy expression was gradually appearing on his face, becoming so twisted that Hobert didn't even recognize himself.
Hobert quickly made his consciousness sink, trying to control the changes in his body. At the same time, vicious thoughts appeared in his mind:
"Reveal her father's rebellion in a public place in front of Xio and ridicule her height."
"Take advantage of Fors's weakness after the red moon, strip her clothes off, and ravage her from night to dawn..."
Hobert quickly shook his head, trying to drive away these thoughts, but more thoughts appeared:
"Kidnap Tyron and force Christian to hand over all the inheritance left by Rex."
"Marry Donna, kill Tyron, and seize all of Christian's property..."
Hobert gasped for breath. For a moment, he was intoxicated in this idea of doing whatever he wanted, but in the end, he regained his sanity, but some thoughts continued to appear in his mind:
"Kidnap Audrey while she is traveling alone and imprison her in a dungeon to make her a slave."
"Subdue Klein, find a way to steal 'Sefirah Castle', and become a combination of 'Fool' and 'Creator'."
"Kill Upton and seize his property."
"Let Elliott offer more sacrifices..."
As Hobert gradually regained control of his body, these thoughts gradually became less vicious and less greedy.
Finally, the black mist around him was all absorbed by his pores, and Hobert also regained control of his expression.
Gradually, Hobert seemed to be reacquainting himself with his body, and the side effects of the potion gradually disappeared.
Hobert breathed a sigh of relief. Now he is a "Baron of Corruption".
Recalling the feeling just now, he was a little scared: No wonder the assistance of a ritual is required when advancing to Sequence 5. Now I am only advancing to Sequence 6, and even if the potion is completely digested, there is still such a high risk.
If you directly advance to Sequence 5 without a ritual, failure to advance is the best result.
Then he sighed: The first element of a Baron of Corruption is not to be "corrupted" himself, and to always be vigilant not to become vicious and insidious.
Finally, he radiated his spirituality and began to feel his new abilities.
