Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 39 Mr. A: Are you willing to become a secret prayer person?

Hastur unfolded the note, which read: "If you are willing to become a secret prayer, you can provide the solid unicorn crystal of the earth rhino for free."

Hastur's first reaction was, this Mr. A is really reckless!
As long as you have enough understanding of mysticism, you will know that the secret prayer person is on the path of the Hanged Man, which is the path that the Aurora Club is good at and manipulates.

The reputation of the Aurora Society in the extraordinary world is that everyone shouts and beats it. This is a force that is hostile to the Church of the Seven Gods, and is equivalent to a terrorist organization in peacetime.

Their members hide in the shadows on weekdays, and only when they make a move will people be surprised by their horror.

Right now, Mr. A's behavior is equivalent to directly asking you if you want to buy a submachine gun in a peaceful age.

If you encounter a more righteous person, you will definitely report it directly to the official organization.

Hastur's second reaction: Has this Mr. A taken a fancy to him?

I have always heard that Aurora is rich in crazy beauties, and they value their looks very much, regardless of men or women.

The more beautiful people are, the more they like them.

To put it simply, it is full of color control.

Hastur's third reaction is to refuse!
Not to mention that he was about to be promoted to Sequence 8 Barbarian, even if he hadn't set foot on the Dark Emperor path, he would not have chosen the Hanged Man path.

Extraordinary of this path, as many as there are can be crazy. The only difference between them is that some people are crazy, and some people are very crazy.

Aurora big stage, don't come if you are not crazy.

"Forgive my refusal, I prefer to be a pharmacist."

Hastur wrote a sentence on the note and asked the attendant to pass it to Mr. A.

Mr. A opened the note and glanced at it, then turned his attention to Hastur again, remained silent for a while, and wrote another sentence on the note.

Soon, Hastur again received a letter from Mr. A who was close at hand.

"Everything is a gift from the Lord. We must all draw close to the Lord. He is the only salvation in the last days."

"..."

Hastur was silent, he really didn't know how to complain about Mr. A's thinking logic.

This sentence simply showed the two words of preaching to him nakedly.

Doesn't Mr. A know that in such extraordinary gatherings, the more enthusiastic he is, the easier it is to arouse resistance from others?

Is it so easy to be deceived?
"I am a believer of the goddess, and I will not deviate from it."

Hastur replied politely to save Mr. A from pestering him all the time.

After less than 2 minutes, Mr. A asked the waiter to send a reply again.

"Great rhinoceros solid unicorn crystal, 300 pounds."

Hastur pondered for a moment, then wrote "deal" on the note.

I'm not used to Mr. A's psychology, but in the face of such a reasonable deal delivered to his door, he can't give up.

Xio and Forsi stared at Hastur for a while, their eyes full of curiosity.

In the circle they knew, Mr. A could almost be said to be the most powerful Extraordinary. It was really inconceivable that such a person would value the newcomers who came to the party for the first time so much.

"As you know, I have always been very popular." Hastur explained with a smile.

"Yes, I heard that Mr. A is a very handsome man, and it's normal for you to be valued by him." Xio made up his mind with a smile.

"..."

Hastur was silent, decided to expose the topic, and asked, "What did you gain tonight?"

"No."

Xio and Fors shook their heads together. One of them didn't have much thought about promotion, and the other was seriously short of money.

After the transaction was over, after a ten-minute break, we came to the free exchange session.

Hastur was not interested in this link, but he always felt that Mr. A's gaze swept over him from time to time, which made him have to show an appearance of being interested in all kinds of knowledge.

"Are any of you interested in the text left by Emperor Roselle?" Someone held up a piece of paper and looked around the crowd with excitement.

Hasta remained silent, Fors glanced at him quietly, and said in a low voice: "Can the deal you mentioned last time continue?"

Hastur said: "I only accept the original manuscript of Emperor Roselle, and other imitations have no collection value."

"Then how can we determine that it is the original manuscript of Emperor Roselle?"

"I know a professor with rich historical knowledge, he has a lot of research in this area, and isn't Mr. A also good at identification?"

Fors glanced at Mr. A, then leaned into Xio's ear and whispered a few words.

Soon, Xio got up and walked towards the man who claimed to study the mysterious text of Emperor Roselle. After communicating with him for a period of time, he successfully retrieved three original manuscripts that were said to be left by Roselle the Great.

Hastur only glanced at it twice, and saw that two of them were reproductions by later generations, and only one was the original manuscript of Roselle's diary.

The handwriting of Chinese characters is difficult to imitate, especially for long sentences, it is difficult to completely imitate them consistently.

In addition, he knew the format of Roselle's diary and the approximate style of the content, so it was easier to distinguish.

Xio took three Russell diaries and went to find Mr. A for identification. Mr. A glanced briefly, selected one of them, and then looked past Hugh to Hastur.

"Thank you for your generosity."

Xio successfully obtained a free appraisal from Mr. A, and walked back at a brisk pace.

"Pay, my lord baron."

Xio's tone was very pleasant, and she got 50 gold pounds for free just by saying a few words, which was really a big profit for her.

"Of course, this is the deal we agreed upon." Hasta smiled and nodded, approving the deal.

The reason why he is willing to pay a large price to acquire Roselle's diary at this stage is to prepare for the future.

Because in the future, he probably won't join the Tarot Club.

At that time, the only way to influence Klein and change some regrettable things was through Roselle's diary.

Klein collected Roselle's diaries through Audrey, Commissar Dao, Fors and others, and he is the one who can provide Roselle's diaries stably.

He can also write Chinese characters and knows many things. Although his handwriting is different from Roselle's, he can completely regard the diary he wrote as an imitation of Roselle's diary.

There is another advantage to doing this. Compared with directly contacting Klein to arouse his precautions and vigilance, it is better to communicate through Russell's diary. Klein is definitely more willing to trust Huang Tao, a fellow in trouble.

Moreover, in this transaction after transaction, he can also recover the cost of purchasing the original manuscript of Roselle's diary from Audrey, Fors and others.

This is an absolutely profitable business.

So now he wants to let Audrey, Forsi, and Hugh know that he has a hobby of collecting the original manuscripts of Roselle's diaries, and at the same time he has many Roselle's diaries hidden in his hand.

In this way, when they need to make a deal with Mister Fool, they will naturally think of him.

The communication session gradually came to an end. Mr. A wanted to complete the transaction with Hastur alone, but Hastur refused this request.

Mr. A didn't force himself too much, and asked someone to give him the solid rhinoceros unicorn crystal, and Hastur paid 300 gold pounds.

Leaving the party cabin, the three returned to Viscount Glaint's villa.

Facing Grelint's scorching gaze, Hasta could only say sorry, he really didn't buy the formula of the pharmacist's potion at the Extraordinary Party tonight.

"It's okay, I can wait a little longer." Greint pretended to be relaxed.

After chatting for a while, Hastur paid Forsi 50 gold pounds and took back a manuscript of Roselle's diary, ending tonight's brief meeting.

At 33:[-], Hastur returned to his study, sat at the desk, and began to list the income and expenditure during this period.

His main income has three aspects: the 2000 gold pounds borrowed by Viscount Glaint, the 800 gold pounds from selling the barbarian potion formula, and the weekly salary of 10 gold pounds per week.

There are many places to spend, buying Extraordinary materials, acquiring Russell's diary, the wages of housekeepers and maids, daily expenses...

Pick up a pen and write calculations on a piece of paper, and finally get a result.

He has less than 800 pounds left in his savings, currently only 500 pounds are left in the bank, and there are more than 200 gold pounds on hand, and he has already proposed to pay 500 gold pounds to support his salary and expenses for two or three months.

With the current expenses and savings, on the premise of not purchasing the Sequence 7 briber's Extraordinary materials, it can be supported until June when the plantation returns.

But it is impossible for him not to collect the extraordinary materials of the briber in advance, which is another huge expense.

"Oh, I still have to continue to make money."

"You can wait until you are promoted to Sequence 8 Barbarian before thinking about making money. Right now, the most important thing is to completely digest the lawyer's potion."

"I don't know how the Hall of Stars will change after being promoted to Sequence 8."

Hastur thought deeply for a long time, then took another piece of paper, and continued to summarize the things encountered during this period.

The lamp god and the fallen mother goddess, Andrew who blackmailed himself and has not been caught, Mrs. Gemani who has calmed down recently, the workhouse who has not yet found out the truth, and Mr. A who is very interested in himself.

These are potential enemies who may cause trouble for themselves.

He doesn't plan to pay attention to the fallen mother goddess now. If the lamp god said, wait until he is promoted to Sequence 8 to see the situation.

The scammer Andrew can offer a reward for Hugh to help find a solution.

Lady Germany, it's best to keep it up.

As for the workhouse, Professor Wayne did not report to the Church of the Evernight Goddess because he had a deal with Vice President Bard. As long as he no longer goes to the workhouse, there shouldn't be any trouble.

As for Mr. A who is very interested in himself, this is a bit of a headache.

Who knows what those lunatics will do, maybe they may go directly to their own homes to preach for the true Creator at night.

"He won't be able to find out his identity so quickly, come to the door?"

Hastur subconsciously looked out of the dark window, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

"No, I always feel that this place is no longer safe."

Hastur frowned slightly, feeling that he needed to change to a new residence, preferably a place closer to the Evernight Goddess Church.

Only in this way can there be a sense of security.

"After tonight, find a reason to go to Queens to live for a while. After being promoted to Sequence 8 Barbarian, I should be able to have a certain ability to save my life."

Hastur had a decision in his mind.

He sat and thought for a while before burning the paper full of words to ashes.

Because of Mr. A, he was in a bad mood, well, he couldn't let the Djinn live too comfortably.
