Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 243 Roselle, you have to show some face

1350 1 Month 1 Day.

It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that Hastur got out of bed.

"Meow!"

Azshara jumped up from the ground, landed on his quilt, and let out a very dissatisfied meow.

Last night, it had a small whitebait in front of its right paw, a tender and smooth fish fillet in front of its left paw, and dried croquettes in its mouth. The little life is not to mention how comfortable it is.

But in the middle of the night, its owner drank some wine, took advantage of the strength of the wine, and unexpectedly... dragged it out of the snack hut.

It was not bad to lie in the owner's arms and eat the small whitebait, but not long after, the owner put it down gently, then turned around to drink, and ignored it at all.

It was still a beautiful young lady, and I fed it a little snack.

Its sleep was disturbed, and it was bombarded by fireworks outside, and it couldn't sleep.

But its owner slept very soundly, sleeping until the afternoon, can this be tolerated?

It is ready to slap him a few little paws to boost his memory.

"Azshara, which new clothes are you going to wear today?"

A sound like a devil whispering sounded, Azshara frowned, jumped off the quilt consciously, and then slipped away through the slightly open window.

"It's really fast to escape."

Hastur got up from the bed, changed his clothes, went to the bathroom to wash and take a bath to wash away the smell of alcohol from last night.

On the New Year's Eve last night, Hastur didn't ask Butler Neil to send Sharon back in a carriage until around six o'clock in the morning. As for Maric, he was already drunk, so he probably hasn't woken up yet.

After Hasta came out of the bathroom, Marici appeared with a stretched waist. Like Hasta last night, he deliberately did not suppress the alcohol, and compared the winners and losers based on the amount of alcohol.

"Looks like you lost."

"The barbarian's physique is really strong, and he can even increase his drinking capacity."

Hastur smiled and asked Maric to go to the bathroom to freshen up first, while he went downstairs to eat something.

The caring butler Neil had already prepared suitable food and made two sweet soups to quench thirst and hangover.

After Maric went downstairs and had something to eat, Hasta invited him to hang out with him, but he refused, saying that living corpses are not suitable for shopping in the daytime, and he wanted to go back and catch up on sleep.

Hastur could only take Azshara out for a stroll.

Queens District, the place where the nobles live, plus the joy and auspiciousness of the New Year, most of the nobles are willing to spend money, and invited many performance groups from other countries, even the performance groups from the Southern Continent also brought several animal taming projects add to the fun.

The people of Backlund are free to visit these performance troupes and do not need tickets. The only requirement is to be neatly dressed and not have any peculiar smell on their bodies.

Hasta also took out a little money, about 500 gold pounds, for a song and dance troupe from the Republic of Intis.

If you want to experience a more authentic taste of the New Year, you can go to the Republic of Intis. They still have many musicals invented and created during the Russell period.

When he was about to walk into the song and dance theater with Azshara in his arms, he happened to see Klein leading Benson and Melissa over here.

It can be seen that Klein's thinking is the same as his, and he wants to see what kind of cultural heritage this fellow Russell left behind.

Hastur and Klein had only had contact with each other during the nursing home incident. When they met at this time, they just nodded slightly and each looked for a seat to sit down.

"A lot of people, is Backlund's New Year so lively?" Melissa looked at the crowd and exclaimed.

Benson observed for a while and said, "It's indeed more bustling than imagined, and we will live in Backlund often in the future."

Klein was looking for a suitable seat, because he didn't need to buy a ticket, so he didn't have a designated seat, and he couldn't find a seat where three people could sit together.

Basically, there are sporadic vacancies, and they are all in the corners.

At this time, the service staff of the song and dance theater came over with a smile on their faces and said, "Three guests, you can sit in the front row. This is Baron Campbell's order."

It's him?

Klein didn't explicitly refuse, he really couldn't find a suitable position.

"Today's musical performance was performed by Baron Campbell at his expense."

Hearing this, Klein didn't refuse, and let the service staff lead the way.

The three of them made it to the first row smoothly and had an excellent viewing position.

At the very front of the first row, there is also a separate spot.

At the moment, sitting on it is a young nobleman holding a little black cat.

The blond hair was so dazzling that it attracted many eyes from behind.

Klein felt that the real brilliance should be the gold pound ability of this Baron Hastur Campbell.

To hire such a song and dance troupe during the New Year, at least a few hundred gold pounds would be required, and a certain aristocratic status was also required.

Although wealthy businessmen can afford the price, this is Queens District, and it is a special event for nobles. The rich need to be ranked behind the powerful, which has remained unchanged since ancient times.

Luxury.

Klein sighed, and felt that he seemed to be a traveler who had a bad time.

Roselle was born as a nobleman, and later established the Republic of Intis, standing at the pinnacle of power.

As for himself, he is still a member of the Nighthawks team of the Church of the Evernight Goddess, and with a salary of around [-] pounds a year, he can only be regarded as a high-level laborer.

Klein thought about it for a while, and felt that the travel time must have used up his luck, and that's why his financial luck was so bad.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, today's song and dance performance finally started on the stage.

The first program was a musical.

When the classic music starts, when the wonderful plot unfolds, when the slightly scary atmosphere begins to envelope...

The corners of Hastur and Klein's mouths twitched slightly at the same time, secretly scolding Roselle for being a stinky and shameless person who even plagiarized the musical "Phantom of the Opera".

When the second program, the ballet of "Romeo and Juliet" appeared, Hasta and Klein were already too lazy to complain about Roselle, a great writer.

At the same time, I was regretting in my heart, why did I come here to suffer this crime today?

Musicals are good, and ballets are good-looking, but when Russell is added, everything seems to change a bit.

And what they want to see is the singing and dancing with the characteristics of their hometown. Even if they come out to beat with drums, suona, and erhu, they think it is worth the trip.

It was not until the end of the three hours that Hastur was the first to get up and leave.

What made him feel a little unbearable was that after the song and dance troupe finished their performance, they would also praise Roselle.

The audience below also began to praise Russell, a historical figure who combines art and literature.

Klein and Hasta have the same inner feelings, he is even worse, for fear that Melissa will be affected by these musicals,

Fortunately, his worries are unnecessary. For Melissa at present, studies and making money are the most important.

Benson, who half understood, thought for a while and gave a comment: "The head of a man like Emperor Roselle is worth ten thousand curly-haired baboons, right?"

Leaving the song and dance theater, Klein wanted to thank Baron Hasta Campbell, but he was no longer in sight.

Benson asked curiously, "Klein, does that nobleman have a good relationship with you?"

"There was only one contact. He has a better relationship with a friend of mine."

"He looked young and had great looks."

This was affirmation from Melissa, and Klein immediately canceled the idea of ​​taking Benson and Melissa to meet each other.

Klein suggested: "Let's find a place to taste delicious food first."

It was completely dark in Backlund in winter after five o'clock, and the sky was already pitch black.

Fortunately, here is the Queens District, the bright street lights are very dense, plus the lights of the surrounding shops and various performance groups, it is enough for people to see everything clearly.

Melissa hesitated and said, "Eating here should be very expensive. Let's go back and eat. It just so happened that there was still a lot of food left to eat last night."

Benson thought for a while and agreed: "Yes, I still trust Klein's cooking skills more."

"Occasionally, we should taste Backlund's special food."

Klein didn't give Benson and Melissa a chance to refuse, and he planned to take Benson and Melissa to other places after dinner.

If you go back to the south area of ​​the bridge, then you will be sorry for the carriage fee for the trip today.

……

After shopping around, Hasta did not choose to eat outside, because every restaurant was full.

Moreover, he has basically eaten all the food in Queens District, and now he doesn't think there is anything new about it.

When he got home, Hastur urged Azshara to put on New Year's clothes. Last night he was so busy drinking with Maric that he forgot about it.

"Meow!"

Azshara waved her paw, expressing her displeasure.

"Ten little whitebait!"

"Meow."

Azshara obediently followed the maid and left.

After enjoying the dinner, Hastur teased Azshara in the lion cub costume for a while, and let him enjoy the delicious little whitebait.

Seeing that Hastur was idle, Butler Neil came over and took out an invitation, saying it was from the king.

Hastur opened the invitation and glanced at it. The king wanted to see him, and the date was fixed for January 1th.

Generally, after the king sees him, he will leave for South Wales in three to five days.

At this time, Hastur could still accept that his affairs in Backlund had been arranged years ago, and this time he did not choose to bring Butler Neil with him, but let Butler Neil stay in Backlund to handle matters.

As for the new housekeeper, when he arrives in South Wales, he will find someone who is familiar with the local conditions to be the housekeeper.

This was also the solution adopted by most nobles when they left Backlund to work.
