Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 79 Hastur: I have never liked soft food

Barranca, Lord of the Damned!
Sharron's heart sank and her face was serious. She knew that this Cursed King, Balanca, was one of the leaders of the Rose School of Thought along with her teacher.

He is the angel of indulgence!

Sequence 2 ancient evil!

At the beginning, it was He and that sinister who joined forces to overthrow the Rose School of Thought, and even her teacher fell in that catastrophe.

An angel actually came to Backlund secretly!

No wonder Hastur kept reminding himself to be careful and try to stay in a safe place and not go out.

At the same time, she also understood that the target of the Rose School of Thought coming to Backlund this time was definitely not people like herself.

This is what he said 'a fire at the city gate will bring disaster to the fish in the pond'.

"Don't worry, their target is not you. You just need to be careful and hide well. If it doesn't work, go to the Church of the Evernight Goddess for help. I believe they dare not be too presumptuous, especially the king of curses."

Bernadette told Sharon to relax and not to be too nervous.

"Do you know what they came to Backlund for?"

"Some time ago, they held a god descending ceremony in West Balam, which was destroyed by the Church of the Storm, the Church of the Eternal Sun, and the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom. Now they may come to Backlund to find trouble for the Church of the Storm."

Sharon thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I understand them. They won't come to Backlund for a simple reason like revenge. It must be something more important."

"Perhaps they are also looking for followers of the stars." Bernadette sighed.

"A follower of the stars?"

Sharon looked at Bernadette in puzzlement, her cute look with doubts and curiosity made Bernadette stretch out her sinful hand again, and Sharon dodged one step ahead of her.

Bernadette waved her hand and said: "You don't need to know too much, it's very dangerous inside, if you hear related information in the future, don't ask for the truth, just send me a message."

"You came to Backlund also for this matter?"

"There are some factors, and more of the reason is to come to Backlund to relax."

Thinking of what happened some time ago, Bernadette sighed again.

Fortunately, the lamp god has been quieter recently, and the lord of the stars seldom came to disturb her in the middle of the night, which made her feel much more relaxed.

"After this group of Rose School of Thought people leave, little Sharon, you have to accompany me to take a good look around Backlund."

Bernadette sent out the invitation with a smile, but Sharron refused with a blank expression: "I still have a lot of things to do, I don't have that time."

"I don't know you yet? Apart from being an exquisite puppet, I like listening to stories every day."

Bernadette joked: "The weather is nice tonight, I still have a lot of fairy tales here, do you want to stay and listen for a while?"

"No, no time."

Sharon directly refused and was about to leave here.

Bernadette shouted, "I still have a few suits here, do you want to try them on?"

"..."

Sharon's pace of leaving has accelerated a lot.

"Little Sharon is not as cute as before."

Bernadette sighed, then stretched out her hand to disperse the surrounding fairy tale world, a pea vine escorted Sharon out of here.

After Sharon left, the gentle expression on Bernadette's face was restrained, with a layer of faint frost.

She didn't tell Sharon that the people from the Rose School of Thought were most likely coming after her this time.

Just this afternoon, the chief mate who stayed on the Dawn sent a message saying that people from the Rose School of Thought were searching for the whereabouts of the Dawn and the crew, using extremely cruel methods.

Reminiscent of an angel from the Rose School of Thought infiltrating Backlund, I may have guessed [-]% or [-]% against myself.

It's normal for the Rose School of Thought to target her. She was just curious, was the god descending ceremony in West Balam really that important?

Otherwise, how could the Rose School of Thought take a stance against itself at all costs?

She also thought of the temperance card that the lamp god said, it was definitely a trap, even the lamp god advised her not to go, so as not to fall into the trap.

In what aspect is he valued by the Mother Tree of Desire?

Can he be so targeted?
Is the Genie hiding something?
When attending the Gathering of Stars last time, did the Genie reach another deal with the Mother Tree of Desire?
Bernadette thought about it seriously, and felt more and more that the wishing magic lamp was a time bomb, which might explode at any time.

Giving it to the Church of the Seven Gods is the best choice, but she is currently the owner of the wishing lamp.

Once the wishing lamp falls into the hands of the Church of the Seven Gods, they only need to make one wish, and she will be forever lost.

This is also the reason why she has always only threatened the lamp god, but never really took action.

Compared with the lamp god, the angel of the Rose School of thought seemed less threatening.

Not to mention that this is Backlund, even if it is outside, that angel may not be able to win her.

It's better to stay in Backlund for a while, even if that evil really comes, in Backlund, he can protect himself enough.

……

the next day.

Hastur had breakfast, took a small box containing 5800 gold pounds, and took a carriage to Bavat Bank.

He successfully deposited 800 gold pounds, and looked at the 1000 gold pounds lying on the account, showing a satisfied smile.

At noon, he met Greg at the Backlund Bank, and handed the small box filled with 5000 gold pounds to Greg.

Greg asked his subordinates to collect the gold pounds, and said with a smile: "It seems that your financial situation has improved a lot recently because you have collected this sum of money so quickly."

"Two days ago, the income from the first half of the year just arrived, and this is how I have this spare cash."

"Haha, when are you going to have a banquet with me?"

"When moving to a new house."

Hastur opened up about his recent move to Queens.

"3rd Street, King's Avenue, I remember that your original address was on the side of 1st Street?"

"Well, the house there is not something that can be exchanged for once assisting the police in solving a case."

"The title deed of that mansion should be in the hands of Earl Hall."

"??"

Hastur was startled for a moment, a nobleman like Earl Hall would also gamble with Voltaire?
Aren't you afraid of affecting your reputation?
Greck saw Hastur's thoughts and explained with a smile: "Earl Hall bought the mansion from other nobles and let it appreciate in value. This is just a normal investment together."

Hastur was relieved, and asked curiously, "How many pounds does that house cost?"

Greg stretched out a finger, "Starting at 10 gold pounds."

"..."

Hastur had no intention of buying back the ancestral house at once.

That was 10 gold pounds. He didn't know how long it would take to save so much money.

Unless he went out to burn, kill and loot, it would be difficult to earn this amount of money with his own efforts.

"Don't be so anxious, you are still young."

Greg thought for a while and then lowered his voice: "If you can marry Miss Audrey, I don't think Earl Hall would mind giving you that mansion as a gift."

"..."

Hastur coughed lightly and said, "Greek, you know, I've never liked soft food."

"Hasta, Miss Audrey is our most dazzling pearl in Backlund, are you really not tempted?"

"..."

Hastur didn't want to continue discussing this with Gleick, and turned to talking about his plan to open a law firm in the Hillston area.

Regarding this matter, Gleick was very generous, saying that he had already helped him find a law firm in the Hillston area, and he could open it immediately as long as the lawyers were in place.

Tsk, it's nice to have a rich and powerful friend.

Hastur looked at the time and invited: "It's getting late, let's go out for dinner together."

"I don't want to eat you up all at once."

"Well, that makes sense, then I'll go to lunch alone."

"...you will lose my friend like this."

"A friend who loses because of this matter is not a true friend."

Greg laughed and let Hastur lead the way, ready to eat.

……

After lunch, Hastur went to Backlund University and borrowed two language books from the library.

One is in Ancient Hermes, and the other is in Giant's Language, both of which are the works of some old professors from Backlund University who devoted their efforts.

Looking at the time, there was still some time before Lecturer Furren finished class, and Hastur stayed in the library quietly reading.

It was close to five o'clock in the afternoon, and Lecturer Furren ended his lecture.

The two went to the restaurant together. When Hasta mentioned that he would open a new law firm in Hillston District, Lecturer Furren's eyes were full of envy.

When he just graduated from Backlund University, he also wanted to open a law firm in Hillston District, the most prosperous business district in Backlund.

But the required fees are too high, and money alone is not enough, and contacts are also needed. The court will not just allow an ordinary lawyer to open a law firm in such a place.

Hastur spread his hands and said: "No way, my friend is very good at money."

Lecturer Fran moved closer and said, "Aren't we two also friends?"

"Well, I think you're overestimating my financial situation."

In terms of the current available funds, Lecturer Furren is definitely richer than him.

Lecturer Furren wears several hats, a lecturer at Backlund University, owns a law firm, is also registered in two other law firms, and is at least a legal consultant for five companies.

A year's income, even if there is no 10000 gold pounds, there must be 5000 gold pounds or more.

The two talked for a while, and finally Lecturer Furren said that he could find two suitable lawyers for the newly opened law firm. Adding him and Hastur, there would be four lawyers.

Enough to get through the early stages of a law firm.

Tsk, this is how scary people are.
