Hobert remembered that Christian's original words seemed to be: he had made an important choice before, and now it was time to pay for that choice.
Christian's choice would obviously affect Hobert's current life.
Hobert was indeed not in a hurry to make a choice, because he had too little information in his hands now and didn't know how to choose for a while.
The atmosphere of the dinner was generally very active, mainly thanks to Donna, the little girl couldn't wait to leave since she knew she was going on a trip.
Hobert realized that if he made the choice not to go with Donna and Tyron, he might not see them for a long time.
So Hobert invited her and Tyron to entertain Elizabeth and them tomorrow, and invited them to visit the Emperor Roselle Exhibition on Sunday.
Donna of course immediately agreed, and Tyron listened to his sister.
At about eight o'clock, the dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere.
Hobert was about to follow Christian to the study, but Mona suddenly grabbed Hobert's arm: "In my eyes, you are still a child and should not participate in the affairs of adults."
Hobert was slightly stunned before smiling: "Mother, thank you for your reminder, but we have been growing up, whether we want to or not."
Mona sighed: "Yes, as a mother, I shouldn't stop you from growing up."
"I can feel your reluctance." Hobert said, "But I don't seem to understand it very well now, after all, I don't have children yet."
Mona smiled and let go of Hobert's arm: "Go ahead."
Hobert said "Okay", bowed slightly to Mona, and quickly came to the study.
After closing the door of the study, only Christian, Dophis and Hobert were left inside.
Christian sat behind the desk and lit a cigarette: "I know what you want to ask, but I can't say it too clearly now.
"I can only tell you that I am doing a big thing, which is related to my future life and the pattern of the Northern Continent for a period of time in the future."
Hobert was stunned, related to the pattern of the Northern Continent for a period of time in the future?
He immediately dismissed the idea of inquiring: "I didn't expect you to be so old and still working so hard."
Christian took a puff of cigarette and smiled: "If you don't work hard, you won't get what you want. Also, I'm only in my forties this year, how am I old already?"
Hobert sat opposite Christian: "I hope to have more references on how to make a choice."
"If you go on a trip with your mother, you will be very safe for a period of time in the future, and you will also be monitored by a pair of hidden eyes." Christian said while smoking:
"If you choose to stay, first of all, you will face certain risks, and you have to be prepared to completely tie your future to me, and you have to be prepared to leave Backlund at any time."
Hobert almost didn't even think about it: "I choose to stay."
Hobert absolutely couldn't accept being monitored by a pair of hidden eyes. First of all, he had to attend the Tarot Club every week, and he himself was a pretender god in the early stage of his business, and it was easy for people to find the secrets hidden in him.
Christian reminded him: "You should think about it carefully before giving me an answer."
"There's nothing to consider." Hobert smiled and said, "Being able to catch your ride is a shortcut to life. With such a shortcut in front of me, why refuse it?"
Christian smiled: "It's rare for you to have such awareness."
Hobert added: "After leaving Backlund, I want to venture into the Southern Continent alone for a period of time to find an opportunity to digest the potion."
Christian seemed to understand something: "Are you already Sequence 6?"
Hobert did not hide it and nodded.
Christian sighed: "You are better than Rex, he took five or six months to digest the 'Briber' potion."
He put out the cigarette: "Then I don't have to worry about your safety. I think you should be able to take care of yourself."
Christian didn't ask Hobert how he digested the Sequence 7 potion so quickly, just let out a long breath, as if he was caught in memories.
Hobert waited for more than ten seconds before asking: "Father, I hope to create a few magical items, do you have any related channels?"
"Yes." Christian came back to his senses: "And he is a 'craftsman' with considerable skills. Well, your mother, I mean your biological mother, gave you two magical items, which came from him."
That's great!
"I have three Beyonder characteristics in my hand, namely 'Gatekeeper', 'Traveler', and 'Zombie'." Hobert said:
"I hope to turn them all into magical items. The 'Gatekeeper' must retain the ability of 'spirit channeling', the 'Traveler' must retain the ability of 'travel', and the 'Zombie' must retain the ability of steel-like skin."
Christian and Dophis were a little surprised, how could a Sequence 6 get two Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristics? Especially since there is actually the Beyonder characteristic of 'Traveler'!
Hobert explained: "The 'Gatekeeper' was obtained from the ruins, the 'Traveler' was traded at a high price, and the 'Zombie' was the spoils of war obtained from a battle jointly participated in with a friend."
This was the rhetoric he had thought of in advance. Although there was truth and falsehood, it sounded reasonable.
Christian said: "I will pass your request to the 'Artisan'. If you give me the three Beyonder characteristics tomorrow, it should take four or five days to a week to complete the magical items you want."
Then he smiled: "The Beyonder characteristic of 'Traveler' cost you a lot of money, right?"
"Yes!" Hobert sighed: "I still feel heartache now!"
Christian smiled and said, "If you have this kind of demand in the future, you can come to me for help first."
Hobert was stunned, Christian might have the Beyonder characteristic of 'Traveler' in his hand!
Careless, Hobert always thought that Christian was a general who received a fixed salary and occasionally earned some extra money, but he didn't expect that he had a lot of good things in his hand.
He suddenly thought: "I heard someone asking for the 'Wind Blessed' potion formula at a party, but I didn't think to ask you if you have it?"
He paused and then said, "Also, what kind of reward is needed to create magical items?"
"You don't have to worry about the reward." Christian got up and walked to the safe: "I know what that old guy likes."
While entering the password of the safe, Christian smiled and said, "We also mixed in the sea for a while back then. I remember seizing the 'Wind Favored' potion formula, but I have to find it. That was more than twenty years ago."
Hobert asked: "How much are you going to sell it for?"
"Take it and play with it." Christian waved his hand: "I only have the 'Folk of Rage' and 'Wind Blessed' potion formulas here, which are not coherent, so it's useless to keep them."
