Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 246 Preparations before departure, 50 gold pounds!

George III stared at Hastur for a long time before saying: "Son of Voltaire, I met you when you were young, but in a blink of an eye, you have grown into a young talent who can take care of the kingdom. .”

"It is His Majesty the King who promotes education reform, so that I can receive a better education and grow into the young man who serves the country today."

Hastur opened his mouth and said that Chen You today is His Majesty's wise words, making Earl Hall nod secretly.

"You can talk better than Voltaire."

The old-fashioned look on George III's face was a little more relaxed, and he said, "Do you know the danger of going to South Wales this time?"

"To share the worries of the king and do our best for the kingdom, this has always been what our Campbell family has to do."

"very good."

George III was very satisfied with Hastur's attitude, "From today onwards, you are Earl Hastur Campbell, I hope you can inherit the loyalty of your Campbell family to the kingdom for generations."

Then, George III asked some questions about the South Wales coastal defense line, for which Hastur had already prepared.

In the end, George III rewarded him with 1 gold pounds in the name of the kingdom, allowing him to go to South Wales to help the Grand Duke of South Wales defend the coastal defense line before January 10.

After leaving Sodlark Palace, Hastur originally wanted to go home directly, but was stopped by the coachman of Earl Hall's house, saying that Earl Hall wanted to invite him to have a meal at home.

Hastur had no reason to refuse this proposal.

After waiting for half an hour, Earl Hall walked out of Sodlark Palace.

"Come on, I have something to talk to you about."

After Earl Hall finished speaking, he got into the carriage, and Hastur asked the coachman to follow Earl Hall's carriage.

House of Earl Hall.

Hastur and Earl Hall appeared at the same time, so Audrey, who was being taught adult etiquette by the teacher, found an excuse to turn down the class and brought Susie to Hastur.

"It turns out that the person Earl Hall is going to host today is Mr. Hastur."

"I really miss the dessert here."

Audrey laughed, and after exchanging a few words with Hastur, she frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Hastur, are you leaving Backlund?"

"Well, we're leaving in a few days."

After a moment of silence, Audrey smiled and said, "I believe that Mr. Hasta will be able to solve the problems facing South Wales."

After finishing chatting with Audrey, Hasta had a lunch at Earl Hall's house, and then followed Earl Hall to his study.

Audrey couldn't enter the study, but she was very curious, so she let Susie follow Hasta all the time, and managed to sneak into the study.

Hastur glanced at Susie, who was pretending to sleep on the ground, and knew that she was a dog spy sent by Audrey to eavesdrop.

"You should have seen the situation in South Wales clearly, but you may not have seen the Grand Duke of South Wales clearly."

When Earl Hall opened his mouth, he made some remarks.

"Is there anything special about this Grand Duke of South Wales?" Hastur asked humbly.

"His mind is small, and his methods are very cruel. For the nobles who do not obey his will, he will use all means to bring down the other party.

Many nobles who had been bullied by him ran to Backlund to pray for justice from His Majesty the King, but it was of no use. "

Earl Hall paused for a moment and said: "He can have such power and status not only because he is loyal to His Majesty the King, but also because of another reason.

He was the illegitimate son of the former Grand Duke of South Wales, a fact that few people knew. "

"Is that the Duke Drinker Augustus?"

Earl Hall looked at Hastur in surprise, "I didn't expect you to know the existence of this Grand Duke. This is a figure that even many elderly nobles are about to forget."

"I just like to read some idle books, which record the deeds of the former Grand Duke of South Wales."

Earl Hall nodded and said, "Since you know him, you should understand how terrifying this grand duke is."

Hastur heard Earl Hall's warning that when he went to South Wales, he should try to avoid the Grand Duke of South Wales and not conflict with him, so as not to draw out the statue of the Duke of Drinking Augustus. giant.

Alas, what a pity, the Grand Duke of South Wales and I cannot accommodate two tigers on the same mountain.

Now that Hastur is ready to go to South Wales to develop, he naturally wants to have only his voice in South Wales.

Hostility was doomed when he chose to go to South Wales.

"There are one hundred thousand gold pounds here, and I believe you know how to use them."

Is this to allow myself to use the money to honor the Grand Duke of South Wales?

What a waste.

Hastur pretended to be puzzled and said, "What is this money?"

"It can be regarded as an investment from our Hall family in you. I believe your future will not be easy." Earl Hall directly stated the words.

With an angel investment of [-] pounds, Earl Hall is really rich.

Hastur was full of emotions. The funds he raised from law firms and factories during this period were about [-] gold pounds.

This is already the capital of his bottom of the box. Unexpectedly, Earl Hall directly doubled his family property.

……

Hastur left Earl Hall's house and had just returned home not long ago.

Greg, who heard the wind, also found a reason and came to meet him.

In the study, Hastur and Greg sat opposite each other.

Greg sighed: "Hasta, I really didn't expect you to grow to this point."

"It may be that I am naturally more suitable for the path of Extraordinary."

Hastur understood what Greg was referring to, and the speed at which he found and killed Lockhard last time had already revealed a lot of information.

"Now I also understand why you chose such a path. No matter how powerful you are, it is not as reliable as holding great power."

"Greek, we're still friends, and that hasn't changed."

Greg laughed, "This should be the best news I've heard in a while."

"I'm also very lucky to have you as a friend."

The two chatted for a while, and Greck suddenly said: "I know that you will need a lot of money when you go to South Wales to build a territory, so I have prepared 20 gold pounds for you, and I still have some money in South Wales. The industry will also be managed by you at that time."

"It's too much money."

"Not much, of which one hundred thousand pounds is the reward for the assassin, and the other one hundred thousand pounds is the travel expenses of my personal sponsor friend."

"..."

Travel expenses of one hundred thousand gold pounds?
The road from Backlund to South Wales is really far and rough.

"I hope you don't refuse, these wealth are nothing to me."

Greck gave Hastur no reason for his refusal.

"20 gold pounds... It's hard for me to say no." Hasta sighed in his heart.

Just today, he has already won 40 gold pounds!
Adding his own 50 gold pounds, his wealth soared to [-] gold pounds in an instant!
This money is too much for building the territory, and he can even form a private army.

Well, it shouldn't be called a private army, but a knight order that guards the territory.

……

1350 1 Month 9 Day.

Since seeing George III last time, Hastur has spent several days in a dull manner.

These days, in order to prevent the amount of 50 gold pounds from being too large, it is not safe.

Hastur secretly transported 40 gold pounds to the Hall of Stars. Anyway, there is still a month before the next gathering of stars.

He has already decided to leave for South Wales tomorrow. Before that, he went to Professor Wayne with Lecturer Furren. Professor Wayne gave him a list, saying that the people on it were all from South Wales. Friends of the county, if you need help, you can try to ask for help.

Hastur went to Grelint to attend the last Extraordinary Gathering, and Grelint generously gave him a lot of medicines refined during this period, basically all kinds of medicines have effects and have a wide range of uses.

He also went to the Bar of the Brave to meet Leonard again, and this time Klein was there, saying that it was to thank him for giving him a seat at the Opera House during the last Chinese New Year.

Before leaving, Hastur asked Klein a question.

"Do you like the ordinary and warm life today, or do you prefer the adventurous career of wandering outside alone?"

The choice Klein gave was the former.

This is a not-too-surprising answer. Right now, Klein's trajectory of fate has begun to deviate, and his growth rate has also slowed down.

This is a good thing for Hasta.

The later the Fool takes the throne, the later the start of the battle of gods will be delayed.

At night, Hastur invited Maric and Sharon again to hold a farewell banquet.

"I'm leaving Backlund tomorrow, are you willing to leave with me?" Hastur extended the invitation again.

Maric regretted: "I am looking forward to going to South Wales with you on an adventure. Unfortunately, I still have a lot of things to do."

Sharon, who looked calm as usual, did not answer.

Hastur felt a little disappointed, but still smiled and said, "I will send you some specialties from South Wales, so that you will regret not going to South Wales with me."

Maric laughed and said, "It's not a punishment at all, it's clearly a reward."

Sharon glanced at Hastur and said calmly, "Have you opened the gift I gave you for the New Year?"
