Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 199 Susie: I feel Mr. Hastur is dangerous
For about ten minutes, Hastur has been waiting for Azshara's reaction, but it didn't respond at all. It wagged its little tail, snuggled up to his feet, and meowed softly, as if calling himself to hug him quickly. it.

Hastur stretched out his hand to caress Azshara's head, and looked carefully at its eyes. There was indeed nothing special about it.

Could it be that he drank a fake potion?
Hastur glanced again at the glassware whose floor had been licked dry.

"Meow."

Seeing that Hastur didn't pay much attention to herself, Azshara jumped into Hastur's arms, curled herself into a small ball, closed her eyelids and fell asleep.

"Maybe it's just that it doesn't know how to express how it feels at the moment."

"It may also be that the assassin potion is naturally suitable for it, which allows it to quickly adapt to this feeling."

"At the beginning, Susie didn't seem to have any special reaction after eating the audience potion by mistake. It was several days later that Audrey discovered its abnormality."

Hastur thought a lot, looked down at Azshara who was curled up in her arms, and after tidying up the things in the room, opened the door and went out.

……

The next day, after Hastur woke up, he went to check on Azshara's situation as soon as possible.

It was squatting by the window, with a pair of blue eyes staring at the passing pedestrians below, licking its little paws from time to time.

Is this the birth of a strong desire to hunt?
Hastur did not disturb, but chose to observe quietly.

At this moment, Azshara seems to have a little more soul than before.

He felt that this was his own illusion, giving Azshara too much imagination at this moment.

Digesting potions is not a short process. Azshara is just a simple kitten. It doesn't have the complex and summarizing wisdom of humans. It relies more on its own nature.

"Meow!"

Azshara, who was squatting by the window, found that Hastur had woken up, took two small steps with graceful steps, and then jumped directly.

This distance is about two meters.

Although Azshara should be able to do it on weekdays, it is not as easy as it is now.

This should be the physical transformation given to it by the assassin potion, making its limbs more powerful and dexterous.

"Are you hungry?"

"Meow!"

This cry, Hastur understood, it was really hungry.

He got up with Azshara in his arms, walked out of the room, handed it over to the maid in charge of taking care of it, and went to the bathroom to wash himself.

After finishing his work, Hastur went downstairs with Azshara who was already full.

After the meal, Hastur asked Neil if there were any rats in the butler's house?

Butler Neil said with embarrassment that rats did appear in the back kitchen recently. Although he had ordered his servants to do a good job of eradicating rats, there were still occasional rats.

This is not a problem that their family can solve, it is the problem of the entire Backlund.

Although the sewer pipes solved Backlund's waterlogging problem on rainy days, they also became a natural home for mice to inhabit and reproduce.

Therefore, a special profession was born, the rat catcher.

They are responsible for accepting commissions and going to the employer's house to catch mice.

Occasionally, the official side will also organize personnel to check and clean up the dirty places such as sewer pipes.

It is said that this is one of the measures actively promoted by Emperor Roselle, saying that it can effectively reduce the occurrence of plague.

Plague and pests, this has also become a common perception of many people.

In this regard, Hastur said that he could let Azshara try.

Butler Neil quickly refused, saying that the rats that came out of the sewer were too dirty, and Azshara ate cat food specially provided by humans every day. If they accidentally ate the rats, serious problems might occur.

Hastur thought so too, there must be a lot of rat poison near here, and if the poisonous rats were eaten by Azshara, it would be very dangerous.

Or wait a few more days until Azshara learns not to eat rats and just concentrate on hunting.

Before going out, Hastur left Azshara at home and ordered the maid to take care of it, and then went to Grelint's house in a carriage.

Because Grelint was the animal trainer, Hastur didn't want Azshara to meet him at this moment, so as not to suffer a stress reaction.

When he came to Grelint's house, Grelint happily dragged Hasta to the back garden, saying that he wanted to show him the latest training results.

The little terrier, under the command of Grelint, performed very well in how to pounce on the prey and find the traces of the prey.

The only pity is that this place is not in the forest after all, so the training effect presented will be greatly reduced.

Grelint said that it is necessary to go to the forest for training in order to further train the beagle.

"This is a very good suggestion. Let's go to the suburbs this Saturday." Hasta made a proposal.

"No problem, my Hauge has been looking forward to this day for a long time."

Hauge is the name of the golden retriever raised by Grelint.

"What do you think about inviting Miss Audrey?"

"Of course, it's just a matter of time for my Hauge to compete with Susie to see who is smarter."

Greint stroked the head of the golden retriever Haug, looking very confident.

Hastur gave him a look of subtle pity.

If I remember correctly, Susie should already be a Sequence 8 mind reader, right?
The golden retriever cultivated by Grelint would definitely not be Susie's opponent in comparison.

Thinking of this, Hastur smiled and told Grelint to try his best to do some chores, such as walking upright with a plate in his mouth, walking on wheels, jumping over fire rings, and so on.

He is looking forward to how Susie will face the battle then.

Before leaving Glaint's house, Hastur made an agreement with Glaint that he would be responsible for inviting Audrey.

This time Hastur planned to invite Earl Hall together.

Since the last time he went to Earl Hall's house for a meeting, he had never contacted Earl Hall and Audrey again, and this time was a very good opportunity.

If he could take this opportunity to bribe Earl Hall, then his briber potion would be almost digested.

The sequence of the Briber is not much of a secret to Hastur, and it is relatively easy and simple to play.

As for the promotion to the Baron of Corruption in Sequence 6, there is already a plan. You just need to wait for the Earl Gil to die, and go grab it from the Church of Steam.

Counting the time, it's almost there.

……

In the night Hastur's invitation was sent to Lord Hall's house.

The name on the invitation was for Audrey. Although Earl Hall knew about it, he did not stop her.

In the room, Audrey read the content of the invitation, and then looked at Susie who was lying on the corner.

"Susie, Mr. Hastur invited us to visit the suburban manor, and you are also invited."

Susie said without raising her head, "I'm not happy about it. On the contrary, I've always been a little afraid of that Mr. Hastur."

"Why? Mr. Hastur is a nice fellow."

"I didn't say there was anything bad about him, I just thought he was dangerous."

Audrey thought for a while and said, "Who is more dangerous, Mr. Hastur or Glaint?"

"Greint."

After Audrey's teaching, Susie has already remembered many people.

"This trip to the suburban manor, Greint is also invited, and he also said that he wants to raise a golden retriever smarter than you."

"Audrey, can I refuse?"

"No."

The corner of Audrey's mouth curved into an arc. The invitation mentioned that the golden retriever Hauge raised by Grelint had many excellent little skills, just like the performance of an acrobatic troupe.

Just take advantage of this opportunity to draw Susie's attention away from the books for a short time, so as not to learn too much knowledge.

After chatting with Susie for a few words, Audrey got up and walked out the door to the room where Earl Hall was.

The invitation was indeed an invitation to her to play in the suburban manor, but it also mentioned that Earl Hall was invited.

In Audrey's opinion, this was the last time Mr. Hasta was frightened by the respected Earl Hall, so he chose to communicate with Earl Hall through her.

When Audrey explained her intentions, Earl Hall was quite surprised and said, "He wants to invite me to hunt in the suburban forest?"

"Yes, Baron Campbell also said that he has recently raised a good hound. Although it is still relatively young, it is already a good hunter."

"This Saturday, I may not have time."

"Then I will help the busy Earl Hall reject Baron Campbell's invitation."

"Forget it, I haven't gone hunting for a long time, and I can wait until next week to finish some things."

Audrey blinked and said with a smile: "You are not worried about your lovely daughter being alone in the suburbs, are you?"

"I do have concerns about that, even though you've grown up."

"Then trouble the respected Earl Hall to keep busy and worry about it."

Finally, Audrey left with a smile.

On the way back to the room, she ran into Hibbert. After some inquiries, when she learned that she was not invited on the invitation, Hibbert immediately said that he and Greg were going to the suburban manor this Saturday.

Such improvised reasons cannot be concealed from an audience at all.

But Audrey didn't expose it, and when she returned to the room, she began to write a reply.

Speaking of it, this is the first time she has written a reply to Mr. Hasta seriously, so she needs to think about it.
