Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 43 Barbarian Playing Rules

The first rule of barbarian playing rules: When encountering problems, use more hands and less brains, and rely more on force to solve corresponding problems.

Article [-]: When faced with the common sense of rules and order recognized by the public, sometimes you can try to break it in a brutal way.

Article [-]: Barbarism is not only reflected in behavior, but also in psychology. Barbarism represents a solipsistic character that is not restrained and does its own thing.

Rule [-]: Don't send yourself to jail!

The fourth one is the most important, he is playing a savage, but he is not a real savage, if he keeps using brute force to solve problems, he will definitely go to prison for hurting others.

After listing the four barbarian playing rules, Hastaden felt that the way forward was much clearer.

But it's one thing to be clear, and another to actually do it.

He is not an impulsive and reckless person, and he still has the image of an aristocrat to pay attention to, so he must grasp that degree.

Otherwise, after digesting the barbarian potion, his reputation as Baron Campbell will be ruined, which will not be conducive to his future promotion to the title.

He also thought about maintaining an elegant aristocratic image during the day, and secretly acting as a barbarian at night.

But this kind of behavior is undoubtedly self-deception. Not only is it not conducive to digesting the potion, but it will also make him schizophrenic.

And where are the savages who cower and hide?

People who conform to this kind of behavior are called thieves.

In his opinion, the most suitable people to play the barbarians are those gangsters who have low morals and like to act on impulse.

Their behavior has always been brutal and rude, and they are used to solving problems by force.

Unfortunately, he is not that type of person.

It was not until lunch time at noon that Hastur came out of the study.

He walked down the stairs, looked at the busy maid, and then at Butler Neil, thinking for a moment.

He undid the first button of the white shirt on his jacket, his smiling expression was replaced by unscrupulous glances, and his graceful posture when he walked down the stairs became more comfortable and casual.

"..."

Butler Neil looked up and was stunned, his eyes a little dazed and puzzled.

It's only been less than half a day, right?
Why did my Lord Baron change so much? Was he stimulated by something?

"My lord, you need to maintain a decent attire and an elegant demeanor even in private." Butler Neil felt that he had to remind him.

Hastur walked down the stairs and said with a light smile: "Decent attire and elegance are nothing but an external image. A true nobleman dares to be loyal to his heart."

"..."

Butler Neil's eyes were even more confused, loyal to his heart?
Dressing like this, speaking like this, and behaving like this, without being bound by aristocratic status, is this your heart?
"Don't be so distressed. This is just a necessary stage in life. I will still be Baron Campbell."

"...Have you reached the stage of rebellious youth?" Butler Neil asked in a low voice.

"..." It was Hastur's turn to be silent this time, but he quickly smiled and said, "Butler Neil, you are worthy of being the butler I personally selected, and you can always easily see through the essence of my exaggerated behavior."

It really is the rebellious period of youth!
Butler Neil was worried. When his grandson reached the age of the baron, he often contradicted his father, unwilling to be bound by various rules and regulations, and shouted every day for freedom and resistance to authority.

With their family and status, how can they have the right to pursue some kind of freedom and resist authority?
For such young people with symptoms, his experience is that they should not be ignored. After they hit a wall in society a few times, they will be honest.

When the two maids passed by Hastur, they glanced at the place where Hastur's buttons were unbuttoned. The white and tender skin was faintly exposed there, making their faces slightly flushed. First, they took a second look, and then hurried away.

Hastur turned a blind eye to such scrutiny, and walked towards the dining table with bold steps.

Today's lunch staple is seafood fried rice plus a pan-fried veal steak, and there are two desserts after the meal.

Hastur changed from his usual elegant manner of eating to a much wilder one. If he hadn't been afraid that the sudden change would frighten Butler Neil, he would have just mentioned the pan-fried veal steak to eat instead of cutting it into small pieces with a knife and fork.

Butler Neil just glanced at Hastur and remained silent.

In his opinion, Hastur is young, and he may yearn for the heroic life of those adult nobles.

It's like children always like to prove that they have grown up by drinking and smoking.

As everyone knows, their behavior like this makes them look even more naive.

Thinking of this, Butler Neil smiled.

There is a sense of déjà vu that my own child is about to grow up.

After lunch, Hastur went back to his study.

He had learned a lot about playing barbarians, and now he needed to work out how to formulate a second new rule.

The first new rule has given him a certain guarantee for his long-term development, and there is no need for similar rules for the time being.

He had considered enhancing his current combat power or formulating a rule specifically for the Hall of Stars.

As he was about to pull the lamp god into the Hall of Stars, he felt that it was necessary to strengthen the power of the rules of the Hall of Stars first, which could be regarded as formulating rules for the meeting of the foreign gods in the Hall of Stars in the future.

This rule can be similar to: in the Hall of Stars, Hastur Campbell is the most respected, and no other participants can offend his majesty, and any participant who dares to provoke will be severely sanctioned.

You must try your best to ensure that you have the dominance of the Hall of Stars, and you can ensure that when the Outer Gods come in the old days, you can't target yourself, and you can't add trouble to yourself.

It is equivalent to that the Hall of Stars is his own kingdom of God, and other participants must abide by the rules he made, otherwise they will be expelled and obliterated.

It can be summed up in one sentence: In the Hall of Stars, he, Hastur Campbell, has no foreign gods to rival him!
The tone is a bit loud, but there is definitely nothing wrong with thinking in this direction.

Now he is relatively weak, but the future may be uncertain.

The rule he needs is that he can grow with him, not invincible within Sequence 8.

Otherwise, waiting for him to be promoted to Sequence 7, wouldn't it be a waste of a rule?
According to the pattern and sequence level of the Hall of Stars, he can formulate ten or eleven rules at most.

Every new rule cannot be wasted, this is his biggest hole card.

After thinking for a long time, Hastur finally started to write.

"Under the gaze of the stars, Hasta Campbell, a traveler from another world, the last heir of the Campbell family, is the master of the Hall of Stars, and anyone who offends him in the Hall of Stars will be severely punished! This rule Just and reasonable, not changed by any external factors."

After finishing writing, Hastur read it carefully several times, and felt that there was nothing wrong with the beginning and the end, but the rhetoric in the middle was still a lot worse.

"Well, I have to make some changes to make sure there won't be too many loopholes."

The Hall of Stars is his biggest golden finger, and there must be no accidents.

After two hours of revising and revising, Hastur was quite satisfied with burning the other scraps to ashes.

"Master of Chaos and Order!"

"The origin of all the rules in the starry sky!"

"The Returner of the Stars!"

After Hastur finished speaking in the ancient Hermetic language, the astral body entered the hall of stars.

With the previous experience, he sat on the high chair, stretched out his hand to summon the second chain of order, and used his mind as a knife to seal the content of the rules.

"Under the gaze of the stars, Hasta Campbell, a traveler from another world, the last heir of the Campbell family, the Hall of Stars is his kingdom of God, and the chain of order is his weapon. Anyone who is hostile to him, Anyone who offends him will be impaled by the chain of order, and will be under the stars forever! This rule is fair and reasonable, and will not be changed by any external factors."

Thoughts moved, but the chain of order did not respond.

Hastur tried to change this sentence into ancient Hermes, but the chain of order still did not respond.

Could it be that the rules set this time have exceeded the limit of the Hall of Stars?
Or is it that I can only make one rule, but not the second and third rules?

Hastur stopped in confusion, pondered for a long time, and finally said to himself in amazement: "Could it be that this rule is already included in the Hall of Stars?"

"This is my kingdom of God, the chain of order is my weapon, and I am the master of this palace of stars!"

Hastur recalled that he had just come to the Hall of Stars, and when he sat down in this seat, this enlightenment flashed through his mind.

It's just that he was dubious about it at that time, and he didn't dare to bring the lamp god and the fallen goddess to the meeting.

"Is it really what I thought it was?"

Hastur closed his eyes, leaned on the back of the chair, silently feeling the palace of stars.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already received a definite answer. The rules and order of the Hall of Stars were sufficient to protect the safety of his new master.

Even if he brought the lamp god and the fallen mother goddess to the meeting when he was just promoted to the Sequence 9 lawyer, there would be no danger.

Hastur tapped his fingers on the table, shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that I am too careful."

Also, if you can't ensure your own safety, the Hall of Stars will not manifest the stars where the lamp god and the fallen goddess are, let alone give yourself the authority to pull them to the meeting.

Perhaps the way Rawai God held meetings in the Hall of Stars in the past was different from what he thought.

Otherwise, with his current strength of Sequence 8, even with the high status of the Hall of Stars, he would definitely not be able to suppress the existence of the Fallen Mother Goddess.

In any case, it can be regarded as a solution to an annoying problem.

Hastur looked relaxed, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he planned to pull the lamp god to try tonight.

I don't know what kind of mood the lamp god will use to face his mysterious existence who has smoked him for more than a month.

"Before that, I need to change my image first."

He definitely can't use this slightly immature face to face the lamp god, and he will definitely be seen through.

"Hasta, king in yellow, Hastur, king in yellow..."

Directly adopt the image of the king in yellow?

Hastur pondered for a moment, but still didn't want to have anything to do with the king in yellow.

"I can no longer use the face and identity of a human being. I need a look similar to the outer gods and the old days...?"

Just like the gate of the starry sky where Mr. Men is located, the image of the evil tree of the star where the Mother Tree of Desire is located.

"As the master of the Hall of Stars, what kind of image should it be?"
