Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 211 Azshara's First Shot

"Azshara, you are getting clingier now."

Hastur took Azshara who had jumped into the carriage several times out of the carriage.

He had something to go out this morning, and he didn't want to take Azshara with him, but as soon as Azshara saw him get into the carriage, she jumped off the maid's arms and onto the carriage, ready to go out with him.

After being stopped several times by Hastur, it still came up again. There was no way, Hastur finally took it.

"Meow."

Azshara saw that Hastur was no longer chasing her away, and jumped onto Hastur's lap, meowing softly.

"I have never seen you so persistent in hunting at night."

Hastur rubbed the seeds of Azshara's head. Since he came back from the manor in the suburbs, he drove Azshara out every night for two days, letting him learn hunting skills, and helping her digest the potion in this way.

Unfortunately, Azshara was not interested in the rats that came out of the sewers, and would never take the initiative to prey on them.

Even if they meet by chance on the roof, it just scares the other party away, and has no desire to make a move at all.

When encountering a fight between a few stray cats and a stray dog, it watched with relish, full of melon-eating style.

This made Hastur feel a pity. If he had known it earlier, he would have let Azshara choose the audience channel to satisfy his desire to eat melons.

The carriage crossed the street and arrived at the Backlund Bank, where Hasta was going to meet a nobleman who was also from South Wales.

It is said that because of the increasingly tense and chaotic situation in the Southern Continent, many nobles and wealthy businessmen worried that they would be affected in the future. Many people from the Southern Continent went to South Wales, and most of the nobles from South Wales chose to go to Backlund.

There were many land sellers from South Wales at this time, and Hasta only saw this one.

Because his land is the missing land around his own territory, which is very suitable for purchase. Once he takes over, his entire territory can be connected into one piece.

When Hastur appeared with Azshara in his arms, the nobleman from South Wales was obviously stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect the buyer who traded land with him to be so young.

The transaction process went smoothly. Due to many well-known reasons, Hastur again suppressed a part of the already cheap land price.

With less than 5000 gold pounds, he successfully bought a large amount of land connected to his own territory in the hands of the nobleman.

If it is converted, it is a little cheaper than the discounted and discounted land purchased from Viscount Abel last time.

Who made the land priceless now, especially the land in South Wales, there are very few people who really dare to take over.

Some people believe that as the chaotic situation in the Southern Continent reaches its peak, the Southern Continent may spread the flames of war to South Wales to relieve their internal pressure.

Hasta does not rule out such a possibility, and also believes that the future situation in South Wales will not be too good.

As many wealthy businessmen and nobles from the Southern Continent came to South Wales, the pirates would definitely come here smelling of money.

The coastal defense line in South Wales will definitely become more and more difficult. For this reason, Hasta also wrote a letter to His Majesty the King to mention his opinions on strengthening the coastal defense.

As for whether the king can read this letter of opinion, and whether he will accept it, it depends on Earl Hall and Duke Negan.

As long as the king publicly discusses the South Wales matter, his opinion will most likely be adopted.

After finishing the transaction, Hastur asked some more questions about South Wales and the South Continent.

In the intelligence introduction of South Wales, the statement he gave was similar to what Viscount Abel said. Compared with the two, the credibility is very high.

Most of the things about the Southern Continent were talked about by a noble from the Southern Continent who he had good friends with.

At the beginning, when members of the Church of the Seven Gods entered the Southern Continent, they used slogans that would not affect the intervention in the Southern Continent's civil war. Such things as slogans are only suitable for shouting, and they will be useless after a long time.

The Church of the Seven Gods, especially the Church of the Eternal Sun, which has been difficult to find the true background of the Rose School of Thought, advocates a war that will sweep across the southern continent. At that time, no matter where the Rose School of Thought remnants hide, they will all be affected by the flames of war and exposed. whereabouts.

There is another theory that the reason why the remnants of the Rose School of Thought could not be found is because they hid under the protection of the Balam Empire.

The Church of the Seven Gods is going to tear its face apart completely, and at the same time take this opportunity to leave its own faith in the Southern Continent.

Some radicals in the Southern Continent are proclaiming that the arrival of the Church of the Seven Gods is not to solve the indulgence of the Rose School of Thought, but to use this as an excuse to start a civil war in the Southern Continent, and then unite with the countries of the Northern Continent to invade and occupy the Southern Continent in one fell swoop. The fertile land of the mainland.

This statement has spread widely, and it is also the common aspiration of the residents of the Southern Continent.

If it wasn't for knowing that the Church of the Eternal Solaris came here specifically for the superstar master, Hasta personally would have believed in this statement.

Especially the Goddess of the Night, who absolutely covets the faith of the Southern Continent.

Maybe after a while, the Kingdom of Loen will appear and send a navy to approach the southern continent in the name of aiding the Church of the Seven Gods.

……

At night, Hastur followed Greck to meet the Duke Georgina Augustus.

The briber potion in his body is about to be completely digested, and he only needs to follow the steps, about ten days to half a month.

This Duke Georgina Augustus, he was not interested in meeting her at first, but Greck invited him and said that this was a party, and there were many nobles present at the meeting, so he came to meet the duchess.

Might as well promote faster digestion of the Briber potion.

The meeting place was at the private estate of Duke Georgina Augustus. Before reaching the gate, they saw many noble carriages parked on both sides of the road.

"This Duke Georgina Augustus is a legend, with outstanding intelligence and ability, and is deeply trusted by the king. Even the princes are rushing to curry favor with her."

"There will definitely be many royal family members present tonight. If you are interested, you can try to make friends. However, you must stop exuding your charm. Royal women are not easy to get along with. It will be very annoying if you are targeted."

"Of course, if you want to curry favor with Duke Georgina Augustus, you can show off your masculinity to your heart's content. She likes handsome and brave men."

Faced with Greck's nagging, Hastur, who hadn't gotten out of the car, already regretted agreeing to come to this party with Greck tonight.

Get out of the car and walk into the gate of the manor.

As the heir of Duke Negan, Greck was naturally watched and communicated by many people. While Greck was busy with socializing, Hastur silently held the plate and began to look for the best dessert tonight.

He tasted a little bit of each dessert, and finally chose a flatter layer cake as the winner tonight.

Compared with the desserts at Earl Hall's house, the desserts here are only average. It can be seen that the Duke Georgina Augustus doesn't like desserts.

Hasta went to taste some meat again, and found that the cooking level and taste of these foods were excellent, far exceeding the standards of restaurants outside.

Food likes and dislikes are really individual.

While Hasta was busy tasting the food, a figure on the second floor came out of the room and took the red wine handed by the attendant.

The majestic gaze swept downstairs, then stayed on Hasta for two seconds, then moved to other people, and finally landed on Hasta again.

Immediately someone said, "That is Voltaire's son."

"It was him."

The figure looked at it for a while, then swept in other directions, and never moved back.

Until the end of the party, Hastur did not see the Duke Georgina Augustus.

In this regard, Greg's expression was very strange. Hastur asked him why, but he refused to say anything.

It wasn't until Greg left that Ruo Ruo said meaningfully: "If I had known that there was such a relationship, there was no need for you to come here tonight."

Riddler...

Hastur had the urge to punch Greg into a pig's head, and then shouted: Riddler, get out of Backlund!
Fortunately, he thought of his status as the returner of the stars, so he forgave Greg's behavior.

……

Late at night, near the border between West End and Queens.

Two drunk men walked through the alley and saw several stray cats looking for food in the trash can. When they passed by, the stray cats did not escape, but stood on the edge of the trash can, still looking for the food in the trash can .

They were supposed to pass by each other without aggression, but one of the drunks suddenly grabbed a sorrel stray cat that was very close to him, then lifted it viciously, and threw it towards the wall!

"Meow!"

With a scream of pain, the nearby stray cats fled in fright.

Seeing this, the two drunks burst out laughing, then kicked the trash can over, kicked it over, put their shoulders together and walked away.

As for the sorrel stray cat that was huddled in the corner and had fallen into a coma, they didn't even want to take a second look.

On the top of the roof, a little black cat was chasing in the direction where the two drunks left with graceful and brisk steps.

"what!"

"what!"

After a while, two screams pierced the night sky.

The next day, there were two more unlucky ghosts with white bandages on their faces in the West District.

According to people who knew them, the two hapless men were attacked by a black cat last night as they were drunk walking through an alley.

Their faces were scratched and disfigured, and they were so painful that they sobered up in no time.

In the next few days, the next unlucky guy appeared near the West District. He was also drunk and walked through an alley, and his face was scratched by a black cat, and his eyes were almost caught blind.

Some people even went to the police station to call the police because of this incident, and asked the police to dispatch personnel to clean up the stray cats hiding in the alleys.

Its beautiful name is: Restoring the quiet in the middle of the night in the West District.

This incident was even published in the newspaper once, and Hastur, who saw the newspaper at the same time, was sitting on the balcony of his home, hugging Azshara with a tired face, holding up its little paw, and shaking it , claiming responsibility for the attack.
