Hobert's mind raced. His first thought was that when he met Bernadette before, it was just a brief encounter. Bernadette couldn't have gleaned much information about him.
She must have learned about the 'The Creator' from another source.
Hobert immediately had a related idea: the 'Hidden Sage' and the 'Knowledge Moor' likely both know about the 'The Creator'.
This goes back to rescuing Old Neil when he went to Tingen. At that time, the ritual Old Neil performed was likely a way for the 'Hidden Sage' to find or probe the 'Knowledge Moor'.
Hobert remembered that the 'Hidden Sage' seemed to be a mystical entity formed by the activation of the 'Hermit' pathway's UHobert spread his hands: 'And then? Report me to the official Beyonders? Compared to a hidden existence with almost no presence, they should be more interested in you, right?
"Queen Mystic' Bernadette!"
This time it was Bernadette's turn to be slightly surprised: 'How do you know who I am?'
Hobert smiled and said, "I just know."
Bernadette's expression became serious, and after a few seconds of silence, she said, 'You're thinking too much. I won't be like those rascals who go to the official Beyonders to report secrets when they have no ability.'
Hobert thought: Uh, your Uncle Zhou really wants to chat with you about this issue.
Bernadette: 'I just want you to help me say hello to 'The Creator'. Since you know who I am, then please tell Him: Bernadette says hello to Him."
Your greetings have been received by the 'Creator', Hobert thought.
He said: 'No problem.'
Hobert raised his glass: 'Let's have a toast to this thrilling conversation, and I hope there won't be similar experiences in the future.'
Without waiting for Bernadette to respond, Hobert drank the wine in his glass, then bowed slightly very gentlemanly and got up to leave.
Bernadette smiled slightly because of Hobert's last words, and watched Hobert leave.
After leaving the table where Bernadette was, Hobert realized: Bernadette wouldn't think that 'The Creator' is her father Roselle resurrected, would she?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this should be the case.
Should he pretend to be Roselle and trick the 'Genie' from Bernadette?
Hobert shook his head slightly, denying his idea. Bernadette is not a three-year-old child. It is estimated that she will be exposed after a few casual chats, and everyone will be very embarrassed at that time.
He could pretend to have amnesia and say that he had forgotten many things in the past, in order to avoid Bernadette's probing. But in that case, Bernadette would not easily give the 'Genie' to the 'Creator'.
Let's make natural contact and talk about it when there is a chance in the future.
Hobert returned to his table, and Donna asked with a smile: 'Hobert, why do you know so many beautiful ladies?'
Hobert thought: Because I am a sunny and handsome big boy.
He explained casually: 'Don't think too much, they are just acquaintances?'
Donna: 'Really? Why did you look so nervous just now? And then that lady looked very nervous?'
The two tables were far apart, and Donna couldn't hear Hobert and Bernadette's conversation.
Elizabeth and Serena were also very curious, and their gossiping hearts were overflowing, only Melissa had a polite smile, as if she was not interested in these things.
Hobert told the truth: 'Because we were exposing each other's shortcomings just now, um, that's right, exposing each other's shortcomings.'
Originally, he wanted to say 'I am a competitor with her father', but when he thought that Bernadette might hear the conversation here, or have a way to know their conversation, Hobert simply changed his words.
Donna continued to ask: 'Why expose each other's shortcomings? Are you competitors?'
'You can think so.' Hobert said vaguely: 'Where were we just now? Oh, right, about Backlund's smog.
'Many gentlemen and ladies are very strange, why are there so many sunny days in the weather forecast in the newspaper? You know, they can't see the sun for several days throughout the year.
Some people even have to go to the suburbs to see the sun, otherwise they will forget what the sun looks like.'
This was not the first smog joke at the dinner table, but everyone still smiled knowingly.
Benson smiled and said: 'Sure enough, humor is a compulsory course for every gentleman.'
The dinner ended in a cheerful atmosphere. Hobert arranged for them to stay at the hotel, and borrowed the hotel's small reception room, planning to talk to Elizabeth and Serena alone.
Benson on the side smiled and said: 'As the only man in the Tingen trip, I can't let the two ladies leave my sight. Sorry, I don't mean to distrust you, but to live up to the entrustment of their parents.'
A very responsible big brother.
Hobert was not angry at all: 'It doesn't matter, but I suggest you wait outside the reception room, otherwise Miss Elizabeth will have come for nothing.'
Benson was stunned: 'Why?'
'Unless you also call me teacher.' Hobert smiled slightly.
Benson thought of Serena, who was obsessed with mysticism, and had to nod: 'Okay.'
Hobert asked the waiter to bring a chair and let Benson sit at the door.
Closing the door of the reception room, Hobert first built a 'spiritual wall', so that their conversation would not be heard by Benson.
While taking out candles and other things from his briefcase, Hobert asked Elizabeth: 'Are you still having the same nightmares recently?'
Elizabeth was a little nervous: 'Yes, and it seems to be getting more and more frequent.'
Serena stared at Hobert without blinking, as if she was carefully recording every step in front of her.
Hobert lit the candle, opened 'Amanda' hydrosol, and dripped a few drops on the burning candle.
The air was immediately filled with a peaceful and serene smell, and Elizabeth and Serena fell into a daze.niqueness. And according to Hobert's observation, the 'Knowledge Moor' is different from other Sephirot, and seems to have a certain intelligence.
Yes, intelligence. Hobert felt this term was very appropriate, similar to the feeling given by artificial intelligence.
'The Creator' appeared in Old Neil's ritual and disrupted the process. The 'Hidden Sage' should have been able to 'hear' Klein reciting the 'The Creator's' honorific name.
In addition, the 'Hidden Sage' has a habit of instilling knowledge into Beyonders of the same sequence. Bernadette is now Sequence 3, and has some ways to avoid 'Knowledge Injection,' or the knowledge instilled by the 'Hidden Sage' is unlikely to have much impact on her.
Hobert guessed that Bernadette might even have a habit of actively listening, after all, the knowledge instilled by the 'Hidden Sage' is a lot of very cutting-edge mystical knowledge.
It is possible that Bernadette inadvertently heard information about the 'Creator'.
It is also possible that the source of her information came from the 'Knowledge Wilderness'.
Hobert inadvertently peeked into the 'Knowledge Moor' with that eye. Although the 'Knowledge Moor' could not reverse-track Hobert, it should be able to 'find' many clues, including information about the 'Creator'.
Afterwards, Bernadette learned this news from the 'Knowledge Moor' in a secret way.
Regardless of which channel Bernadette learned about the existence of the 'Creator' from, the information she knows is extremely limited.
Thinking of these things, Hobert's mentality gradually stabilized: 'Yes, I do know that hidden existence.'
This time it was Bernadette's turn to be stunned. She probably didn't expect Hobert to admit it so frankly.
Hobert spread his hands: "And then? Report me to the official Beyonders? Compared to a hidden existence with almost no presence, they should be more interested in you, right?"
"Queen Mystic Bernadette!"
This time it was Bernadette's turn to be slightly surprised: "How do you know who I am?"
