Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 198 When you drink this bowl of assassin potion, you will no longer be an ordinary cat
Hasta is in a good mood today, sitting on the balcony on the second floor, drinking a fruit cold drink, petting the cat, and occasionally admiring the setting sun that is about to set in the distance.

Since she rejected Mrs. Gemani's invitation last time, she never wrote to herself again, nor did she visit her directly.

It seemed that his own persuasion had worked.

Another thing to be happy about is that Sharon and the others have found extraordinary ingredients for the Assassin's potion formula. He just needs to go to the Bar of the Brave to trade it tonight.

Hastur lowered his head slightly, and said with a serious face: "After tonight, you will no longer be an ordinary cat. You can't touch the lust of the world any more. If you are tempted, you will fall into the abyss. It's miserable."

"Meow?"

Azshara opened her eyes wide and looked at Hastur puzzled, then raised her head and licked Hastur's palm.

"You'll understand later."

"Meow."

Azshara rolled over, changed positions, and curled up in Hastur's arms.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Hastur brought a certain amount of gold pounds, and at the same time brought the final chapter of "Pinocchio" that Sharon had been looking forward to.

The Bar of the Brave was still lively, and the arrival of Hastur quickly caught the attention of Kaspers, who led Hastur to where Maric was.

Maric didn't stay in the billiard room tonight, but changed to a more secret place.

Hastur saw Maric and his living corpse, but did not see Sharon, which made him a little disappointed.

Tonight, he was planning to use the final chapter of "Pinocchio" to bribe Sharon, build a link, and see if he could sense Sharon's mood swings.

"Are you alone tonight?"

"You speak in such a tone that you really don't want to see me?"

"Of course, I prefer to chat with Miss Sharon."

"..."

Maric was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Hastur to speak so directly.

Hastur found a place to sit down, glanced at Maric, and said slowly: "Rosell once said: Smart people always like to chat with smart people, because this way there is no need to waste time arguing with stupid people."

"..."

Maric snorted softly, "Hasta, you are getting more and more beaten up now!"

"Hey, sometimes I also think, why didn't I become a hunter in the first place?"

"Hmph, you should become a witch first."

As Maric said, he asked a living corpse beside him to hand something to Hasta, which was the extraordinary material that Hasta commissioned them to find.

"A total of 100 gold pounds. Credit is not supported and cash transactions are required."

Maric spread out his right hand, signaling Hasta to pay the money quickly.

"Didn't it be agreed before that it would only cost 80 gold pounds?"

"Oh, that was before, and now I'm in a bad mood. It's not too much to take your 20 gold pounds for hard work, right?"

Hastur smiled, handed the 100 gold note to Maric, and said, "Do you want to play cards again?"

"You want to win back the twenty gold pounds?"

"I just think I'm lucky tonight."

Maric naturally did not refuse, and the two agreed to bet three times, winning two out of three games, with a bet of 20 gold pounds.

Unfortunately, the gamble did not go to the third game, because Maric quickly lost twice in a row, and returned the 20 gold pounds that had not been warmed up to Hasta.

"Rosell has another sentence: No one can occupy wealth that does not belong to him."

"..."

The corner of Maric's mouth twitched slightly. He really wanted to ask, did Emperor Roselle really leave such a famous saying?
Roselle can get involved in any topic, and every time what he says seems to make sense.

In other words, shouldn't I also buy a copy of "The Encyclopedia of Russell's Life and Quotations"?
In the future, when chatting with others, I would inadvertently throw out a sentence that Roselle once said... Does it seem that what I said suddenly has weight and connotation?

The last time he passed by a bookstore, he glanced at it. Such a copy of "Rosell's Life and Quotations" is not expensive, priced at 3 soli and 6 pence.

Hastur ignored Maric's complicated mood, he just habitually put the words on Roselle's head.

Anyway, whether Roselle said it or not, only he himself knows, and now he can't appear, let alone refute himself in person.

After staying in this room for almost half an hour, Sharon came silently.

"Sharon, if you don't come again, someone will be in a hurry." Maric said rather angrily.

"Maric, it seems that you have consciously classified yourself as a fool."

"..."

Maric didn't want to talk to Hastur. When it comes to this ability to talk, he is far from an opponent of a quick-thinking lawyer.

Sharon didn't show any specific emotions because of Maric's words, but just looked at Hasta and signaled him to say anything.

"I have been sleepless lately, day and night turned upside down, and it took a lot of energy to write the end of the story."

"Bring it."

"What a ruthless tone, shouldn't you care about my health first?"

With a sigh of emotion, Hastur handed the final chapter of "Pinocchio" written by himself to Sharon.

"what story?"

Maric came over curiously, and Sharon disappeared without a trace, running to a mirror alone and reading the story of the final chapter of "Pinocchio".

In the absence of a rule prohibiting invisibility, Hastur would not be able to find Sharon's hiding place, even in the same room.

But three to five minutes later, Hastur could faintly sense Sharon's aura. Following the vague induction, he looked into a small mirror two meters ahead on the right.

Is this bribery successful?

Hastur was a little uncertain, this connection was too weak, and it was basically impossible to perceive Sharon's mood swings.

He closed his eyes and felt for a while, before he could barely see Sharon's mood swings.

Happy, jumpy, sometimes a little bit annoyed, doesn't seem very satisfied with the end of the story, then a little bit relieved, dazed... and then angry!

Then, this weak connection was cut off, and Sharon also came out of the mirror, sat opposite her, looking at herself calmly.

Is she angry?

Should be angry.

Hastur glanced at Sharon out of the corner of his eye. Although Sharon looked calm on the surface, as usual, the last emotion he felt just now was anger.

Tsk, you are obviously angry, but you still pretend to be nonchalant, so you are such Sharon.

Before Hastur was happy for too long, Sharron looked over.

This time, there was no need to establish a bribery connection, and Hastur could clearly feel the chill from Sharon's gaze.

"It's getting late, I should go back too, see you later when you are free."

Hastur chose to leave very wisely, but Sharon didn't stop him. Maric felt a little pity. He originally wanted to have a drink with Hastur.

……

As soon as Hastur returned to the hall of the house, Azshara came running briskly along the stairs from the second floor, and the maid behind him was chasing him.

"Azshara, I haven't rested yet, it's fine, I'll go to bed later today."

Hastur squatted down, smiled and picked up Azshara from the ground, and then went up to the second floor.

He asked the unrelated maid and others to leave the second floor first, and then came to the room where various potion materials were placed.

There are some materials for the potion formula of the Black Emperor Path, most of which are common materials that can be bought in the market.

As for the expensive and rare Extraordinary materials, Hastur is going to put them in another place.

Hastur told Azshara to stay where he was as much as possible, and he took out the Extraordinary materials traded tonight and started to mix them with other ordinary materials.

During the preparation process, Hastur looked at Azshara many times. The food here should not be eaten casually, and Azshara is very greedy sometimes.

Fortunately, Azshara tonight seems to be only interested in the potion that Hastur is concocting.

At the beginning, it stayed where it was, but after the preparation of the assassin's potion was completed, it couldn't hold back its curiosity, and walked gracefully to Hastur's feet, with its head raised, and a pair of blue eyes Staring at the vessel holding the Assassin's potion.

Xu Shi smelled edible, and it seemed a little impatient, but in the end it still lay obediently at Hastur's feet, but kept staring at the location of the assassin's potion.

"It should be almost there."

After preparing the assassin potion, Hastur seriously recalled the operation just now, and he was relieved after confirming that there were no mistakes or omissions.

He was holding the glass vessel with a round bowl-shaped bottom containing the assassin's potion, squatted down, and stroked Azshara's small head with one hand.

"I want to remind you again, after drinking this bowl of assassin potion, you will no longer be an ordinary cat, and the lust in the world will not be contaminated in the slightest. If you are tempted, the curse of the witch dying of love will be on you It will be fulfilled in your body, and you will suffer unbearably at that time."

Hastur had a serious expression and a serious tone, and even Azshara seemed to be infected by this atmosphere, and meowed softly.

"Before you drink this bowl of assassin potion, do you have anything else to say?"

"Meow?"

Azshara raised her head, and her little paws began to scratch Rahastha's arm holding the assassin's potion.

Hastur rubbed Azshara's head lightly, sighed and said, "Okay, since you have made a decision, then I won't stop you anymore, the next road needs you to make your own way .”

After speaking, Hastur put the assassin potion in front of Azshara, indicating that it was ready to drink.

Azshara's nose moved slightly, first she sniffed, then observed for a while, and then slowly savored tonight's supper.

"Azshara, you are very lucky tonight."

Hastur gave a blessing, and then stared at Azshara's reaction.

This level can only be passed by Azshara himself, he can only choose to watch.

According to his observations of Azshara during this period, its intelligence is not low, and it is not difficult to adapt to the assassin potion.

But caring is messy, and this sentence is also used on him.

After all, as long as it is not 100% of things, accidents may occur.
