Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 52 Miss Audrey, what kind of Extraordinary do you want to be?
The next morning, Hastur went to Backlund University after a long absence, attended two classes with Professor Wayne, and then went to the cafeteria with Lecturer Furren for dinner.

"I have some things to deal with recently, and I don't have time to be a legal aider for the time being."

"It's a regrettable thing, and I'll pass it on to them for you."

For Hastur's decision, Lecturer Furren was not too surprised. It is impossible for a nobleman to concentrate on being a lawyer, let alone be a legal aider all the time.

After dinner, he said goodbye to Lecturer Furren, and Hastur went to the court, where he listened all afternoon.

Back home at 05:30, butler Neil walked towards him with a worried expression on his face.

"I took people around the manor this morning. It's really too big. Ten new recruits are definitely not enough. At least twenty people are needed to maintain all aspects of the whole manor."

Then, Butler Neil described the general situation of the manor to Hasta.

It covers a large area, and there are three lakes in the manor, one is an artificial lake in front of the garden, and the other two are behind the house.

There are also sculpture gardens, art galleries, playgrounds, wild forest parks and other areas.

The main building has at least sixty rooms, not including bathrooms, study rooms, balconies, kitchens and other rooms for other purposes.

This is a place specially used by the great nobles to hold grand receptions, large banquets and garden parties.

Generally, only aristocratic families have the ability to preserve such a large manor.

Hastur listened silently, and quickly thought of a question. There must be a lot of collections in such a large manor, right?

It is the tradition of many great nobles to collect items rich in history and value as exhibits of their own families.

As long as you take out a few collectibles, you can at least sell them for thousands of pounds, right?
Butler Neil opened his mouth to break his small thoughts, "The manor is temporarily not suitable for receiving outsiders. Except for some daily necessities, other things including collections have been completely removed, which is very indecent for a nobleman. one thing."

He was very particular about his words, and he didn't directly say that those collections were all lost in gambling by the previous Baron Campbell.

"..."

There is only one thought in Hastur's mind, betting on dogs is really damned!
Such a large family property, as long as you don't invest in gambling, just eat, drink and have fun, you can't use it up in your life.

"If you want to move in, besides the necessary cleaning and grooming, you also need to make up for some missing items in the manor and repair some places. This is a lot of money."

"Is 100 gold pounds enough?" Hasta reported a number with a headache.

"It's not very respectable." Butler Neil hesitated for a moment before saying such a sentence.

"...200 gold pounds."

"I will try to deal with this matter within five days."

"Well, let's do it first."

Hastur sighed, and the mental damage fee that he finally got back from Andrew was about to be paid before it was warmed up.

The life of aristocrats is really costly!
……

Tuesday, October 4nd.

Grelint held a small party in the villa, and Hastur arrived at the villa an hour earlier under the urging of Grelint.

Only Grelint, Hasta, Audrey, and Fors were the ones who really got together tonight.

Originally, Greint didn't intend to invite Forsi to the party, but considering that there was only Audrey as a lady, it would make the scene more awkward, so he sent someone to send Forsi an invitation.

At the same time, it can also be regarded as thanks to Fors for her hard work for the pharmacist's potion formula.

"Hasta, I have prepared all the extraordinary materials, what should I do now?"

Glaint looked excitedly at the table full of materials in front of him.

"It's very simple, just mix them together according to the dosage on the formula."

"……It's that simple?"

Grelint blinked, feeling that this was too perfunctory.

After all, this is the beginning of stepping into the extraordinary world. Even if there is no need to hold any ceremony, it should be a bit special, right?
Hastur said with a smile: "Sometimes extraordinary is as simple as that."

"Hasta, help me with it."

Hastur put away the smile on his face, and said earnestly: "Grelint, the extraordinary world is far more dangerous than you think, some things need you to deal with by yourself, blindly seeking help, it is difficult to go far in the extraordinary world .”

"...Then I arrange it myself?"

"Well, I'll guide you by the side."

"it is good."

Grelint took a few deep breaths, slowly followed the records in the potion formula, and began to mix the extraordinary ingredients together, and finally condensed them into a cup of thick green liquid.

Smelling the pungent smell of the potion, Grelint's facial features were slightly twisted together, and finally he drank the pharmacist's potion under Hastur's watchful eyes.

"Remember, every time you take a potion, it's a competition against madness. Suppress madness, stay rational, and try to keep yourself from being affected by those strange phenomena and ravings..."

Hastur was on the sidelines carefully guiding Grelint, letting him gradually pass through this stage.

As for extraordinary means such as opening Spirit Vision, he was going to tell Greint after a few days of rest.

He has always felt that Greint's talent in mysticism is not good, and it is better to do many things step by step.

As for the acting method and the two extraordinary laws, he will not tell him, but will only guide him slowly.

Otherwise, with Greint's big mouth, he could easily leak this knowledge, causing trouble and danger for himself.

When the two came out of the secret room, Audrey and Fors had already been waiting in the study for more than ten minutes.

Although the two didn't know each other yet, there was no embarrassment in the silence.

"I wasted time."

Greint smiled awkwardly, and then introduced Audrey and Forsi respectively.

"Have you become a Extraordinary?"

Seeing that Grelint's face was pale, with cold sweat still remaining on his forehead, Fors seemed to be overflowing with spiritual power, which gave her a guess.

Hearing this, Audrey also cast a curious look.

Grelint raised his chin slightly, couldn't control his smile, and raised his voice: "Yes, I'm already a Beyonder, a Sequence Nine pharmacist!"

Like to show off, Greint, you are still too young.

Hastur sighed in his heart, if it was him, he would never show off such a thing, and he didn't even want others to know that he was already a Extraordinary.

Extraordinary?Glaint really did it!
Audrey was shocked. She was also pursuing extraordinaryness, but she hadn't started yet.

She didn't expect Greint to be ahead of her in this matter.

Fors didn't feel anything, she was still lazily leaning on the sofa.

Audrey said enviously: "Greyint, I didn't expect you to be one step ahead of me."

"All this needs to be thanked to my good friend, Hastur, who found the pharmacist potion formula for me, so that I can successfully enter the extraordinary world."

Grelint was very enthusiastic to attribute the credit to Hastur. In the previous conversation with Maric, Maric asked him not to reveal his identity as much as possible, and he naturally complied.

"Is Baron Campbell a Extraordinary?" Audrey's curious eyes fell on Hastur.

Greint was also very curious about this question.

Hastur smiled and said, "I haven't decided which way to go."

"Didn't you successfully hold the resurrection ceremony?"

Audrey became more and more curious. She had heard many legends about Hastur from Grelint.

"It is precisely because I survived the catastrophe by luck that I dare not embark on the extraordinary path at will."

Hastur tapped four times in front of him, drawing a crimson moon, and said reverently, "Praise the goddess."

Audrey's heart shuddered, and she asked in puzzlement, "Is the extraordinary road dangerous?"

"Well, more dangerous than the adventure stories in the books, and certainly more magical."

Looking at Audrey's pure eyes, Hastur said again: "If you don't have a certain awareness, it's better not to enter the extraordinary world. Being a nobleman is also a good choice."

"Yes, the extraordinary world is very dangerous and frightening."

Forsi has a great say on this issue. She has personally experienced danger more than once, especially on the night of the full fifteenth moon.

"I will think about it carefully." Audrey said with a smile: "Thank Baron Campbell and Ms. Fors for their advice."

"Don't worry, I will act as a forerunner and open up the way for you." Grelint was obviously a little flustered.

Audrey smiled and said nothing. Compared to Greint, who always likes to show her good side, she is more willing to let Baron Campbell be her guide on her extraordinary path.

The other party was far superior to Grelint in terms of conversational skills and mystic knowledge.

"Miss Audrey, if you don't understand the knowledge of mysticism, you can ask my friend Hasta."

Having shown his excellent side, Grelint decided not to carry it on hard, and was going to go down to rest first, otherwise he would have a severe headache.

Soon, Grelint found a reason to leave first, and asked Hasta to entertain Audrey and Fors on his behalf.

"Miss Audrey, what kind of Extraordinary do you want to be?" Hasta smiled and raised the topic to avoid embarrassment.

"Mysterious, powerful, and omnipotent." After Audrey finished speaking, her face became a little hot, wondering if such a statement was too naive?

"Miss Audrey's thoughts are in line with my imagination of Extraordinary people." Fors took the topic.

"Aren't all Extraordinary people like this?"

"Of course not. Some extraordinary paths are very cruel. Although they are powerful, they are accompanied by heavy blood and killing along the way."

"Is it so scary?"

"Well, they're scarier than the worst criminals in fiction."

Audrey was a little frightened by Forsi's words, and looked at Hasta, seeking his clarification.

Hastur smiled and said: "Madness and chaos are indeed common, but Extraordinary people also have a better category, such as pharmacists. They can cure diseases and save lives, and heal diseases that ordinary doctors cannot cure."

"Extraordinary people such as readers, generalists, and secret-seekers, they pursue knowledge, use knowledge to help others, and even promote the progress of the entire society."

"It is said that Emperor Roselle was once a generalist. Many technologies developed by him have improved our lives even today."

Hastur explained everything, but did not explain it in depth, at most it only involved the level of Sequence Nine.

As for the knowledge of impersonation, extraordinary law, and above Sequence 1 is Sequence 0, he couldn't say a single word.
