Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 8 Bernadette: The starry sky is always so scary

After the trial, Mrs. Gemani cordially invited Hasta to visit her home tonight, vaguely revealing that her husband was out for dinner tonight and would not be coming back.

For such a romantic invitation, Hasta can only politely decline, saying that he still has important matters to deal with tonight, which is inconvenient.

Mrs. Gemani was not angry, but before she got into the carriage and left, she looked back at Hasta a few more times, and then left with satisfaction.

pat!

Hastur took out his pocket watch, and it was four thirty-thirteen, three o'clock in the afternoon.

Heh, all women are liars, and boys should protect themselves outside.

Hastur sighed, keenly aware that there were naked eyes looking at him behind him, looking down from his shoulders, especially his hips.

From the corner of the eye, he saw two elderly male nobles with round bellies. This made him feel a chill, and he hurriedly stopped a carriage and left.

……

Back home, Hasta went to the kitchen and started working. There was still a long time before dinner, and he planned to get some hand-made beef balls to eat.

First use a round rolling pin, carefully beat the surface of the beef several times, finely beat the beef into minced meat, then sprinkle with an appropriate amount of flour, pour in water, a little salt, a little spice, then knead into a ball, put it in warm water to shape, the beef Pill and you're done.

After a good meal, Hastur took off his coat, rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt, and began to wash the bowl and rolling pin.

At this time, he wants to hire a suitable chef and let him prepare three meals a day for himself, preferably a pastry chef who is good at making various desserts, so that he can satisfy his appetite.

But when he thought of a stranger living in the house, he felt uncomfortable, so he temporarily gave up the idea.

After he has a stable income, he will consider hiring a housekeeper and chef.

At present, apart from the 1000 pounds deposited in the Backlund Bank, he only has 405 pounds, 8 soli and 4 pence left in cash.

He spent about 530 gold pounds on the lawyer's potion formula and potion materials alone, another 50 gold pounds on studying law, and a lot of food and transportation.

He still needs to prepare a sum of money to purchase the Extraordinary materials of the Sequence 8 barbarian, and he also needs to keep 500 pounds as an emergency fund. There is not much money that can really be spent.

At the same time, he had to collect 2000 pounds to return to Viscount Glaint.

The thought of still owed so much money gave him a headache. No matter which world he was in, he couldn't live a decent life without money.

He really wants to open a law firm and accept some commissions to make money, but his current legal level is still far behind, and he is far from being able to be independent.

The best way to get money is naturally to meet some vicious Beyonders, then deal with them, and sell their Beyonder characteristics and potion formulas.

But this needs to be promoted to a Sequence 8 barbarian to try.

"Hey, let's just wait for now, and I can almost digest the potion after waiting for two months."

Hastur tidied up his mood and went upstairs to take a shower. He still needs to put the changed clothes in the bag and take them out for the special laundry room to wash.

This is another expense.

The night was long, and he could only burn the lamp in the study and continue to study the three introductory books on the law.

Fighting until eleven o'clock is Hastur's favorite time.

After closing the book and laying it out, he got up and walked to the next bedroom, lying on the quilt, and was about to fall asleep.

To be precise, it is to enter the Hall of Stars.

In the boring life every day, there is only a little fun left at night to beat the god of the lamp with a whip.

Sitting on the first chair, looking at the star where the lamp god is, at the same time driving the chain of order, ready to go.

When the phantom of the wishing lamp reappeared, Hastur chuckled, and whipped a powerful whip.

This time, he didn't bother to observe the reaction of the lamp god, and left without stopping for a breath.

Hastur tapped the table with his right finger, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and murmured: "It's time to rest again, I hope the lamp god can also have a pleasant night."

……

Snapped!
The magic wishing lamp that was heavily sealed was pulled out again and fell to the ground.

"Bastard! It's more hateful than secretive!"

The phantom of the lamp god manifested again, looking up at the starry sky above his head with bad eyes.

This time, Bernadette was also interested.

In order to explore the secrets of the lamp god tonight, she has not rested all the time, and she really caught the moment when the magic lamp of the wishing made a strange appearance.

At that moment, the multiple seals seemed to be broken by some mysterious force, a majestic force hanging down from the starry sky, seemed to whip the wishing magic lamp, and sent it flying.

This is not an accident that the lamp god itself can cause, but the power from the starry sky is affecting the wishing lamp!

Although he couldn't see the face of the lamp god at the moment, he knew that he must be angry.

"It's really surprising that you, who boast of being great and extraordinary, are so downcast." Bernadette directly started to mock.

The lamp god just sneered and said, "You don't understand what that power represents at all."

"I just need to understand that that kind of power is not enough to help you break through the seal."

"Hmph, can you really be so sure?"

"Is there really any existence in the starry sky that wants you to return?"

Bernadette asked a rhetorical question, making the lamp god silent.

Back then, He also had a brilliant record and provoked many enemies.

Now that he is sealed in the magic lamp of wishing, those existences are not to mention saving him, but they are showing kindness to him without taking the opportunity to find an opportunity to destroy him.

"I think we can work together."

The lamp god expressed his willingness to cooperate, time was running out, and he didn't want to play tricks with Bernadette anymore.

"I reject."

Bernadette didn't give the lamp god a chance to speak again, and said, "It's late at night, I should go to sleep well."

"..."

The lamp god watched Bernadette leave without appearing too anxious.

Bernadette is a smart person, it is difficult to find conditions to impress her.

But there is one thing that she absolutely can't refuse, it's just that He doesn't want to waste this opportunity for the lion to open his mouth.

For several days in a row, at close to 11:30 every night, the wishing magic lamp will be pulled away from the spot.

Bernadette has changed from being on guard at the beginning to mocking the incompetence of the lamp god.

Of course, she still maintained enough vigilance deep in her heart, and the Dawn was still wandering in the waters near the Church of the Storm.

On this day, the lamp god finally chose to manifest from the wishing lamp.

Being kicked away once a day, coupled with Bernadette's ridicule, has made him unable to bear it any longer.

He had to find a way to counteract this situation. He couldn't let the other party round and flatten him. After all, he was a powerful old man!
Bernadette said unceremoniously: "Tsk, are you finally no longer being a turtle?"

The Genie ignored Bernadette's taunt, and said coldly, "Let's make a deal."

"I think it's just the right time to watch you get whipped like a dog every night."

"Verbal attacks do not benefit you."

"But it makes me happy."

"Hmph, my patience is limited, sooner or later you will need help more than me."

Bernadette gently waved her hand and said, "Then let's wait until the future."

Seeing that the conversation broke down, the lamp god returned directly to the wishing magic lamp.

Bernadette put a seal on the wishing lamp, got up and walked out of the cabin, came to the bow of the ship, and looked up at the starry sky above her head.

It's really interesting to see Deng Shen's panic-stricken appearance these days.

But this also brings a crisis, the mysterious power from the starry sky, it is not known whether it is a friend or an enemy.

What if it is already trying to help the lamp god break the seal?
Now that the lamp god is humbly seeking cooperation and transactions, it may also be acting in order to relax himself.

She would not easily believe in the sincerity of an evil god.

But she has tried all kinds of sealing techniques, but she still can't stop the changes every night.

Is it really necessary to hand over the wishing lamp god to the Seven Gods for suppression and safekeeping?

This is a Level 0 Sealed Artifact that can save lives at critical moments. Even in the face of the Seven Gods, there is a certain chance of saving lives.

"The starry sky is always so scary."

With a sigh, he floated on the vast sea.
