Mystery: The Stars Returner

There were three pieces of paper lying quietly inside the box... three land deeds to be precise.

One of the deeds was for a large house in Queens that originally belonged to the Campbell family and was exported by Voltaire.

The other two land deeds are noble lands, located in South Wales, with a combined area of ​​about 1000 acres.

If converted, it is almost 400 hectares.

Compared with the real noble territory, 1000 acres is only about one-sixth of the earl's standard territory.

This has to mention the talented man Voltaire. He divided his territory into fifteen parts, that is, fifteen land deeds, each of which was about the same size.

Normally, nobility's territory is not allowed to be bought and sold without the king's permission, let alone used for gambling.

But Voltaire was very resourceful. He didn't directly say it was a bet, nor did he sell it directly to others. He just asked the nobles who owned the land title to help him manage the territory.

As for the output, taxes, etc. in the territory, it is the cost of managing the territory.

Hastur silently put the land deed away, put it back in the box, and then closed the box.

It is a pity that the king did not give him a chance to choose, otherwise he would directly choose the equivalent gold pound.

With the abolition of the Corn Laws, the land of nobles will become increasingly worthless, and the economic benefits that can be produced in the territory will also be greatly reduced.

He could have first taken a large sum of gold pounds and made a fortune in the stock market, and then purchased a large amount of land that had become cheap.

Back and forth, there is a huge difference in gold pounds.

Fortunately, the house in Queens was not bad, and living in Queens was safer than living on the West Side.

As for the territory, he has no intention of managing these things for the time being.

And it was still far away in South Wales, so he didn't have time to go out for a walk.

We can only ask Butler Neil to send someone to investigate first and consider other things later.

……

The Hall of Stars.

Fifteen days later, Hastur appeared as the ruler of the stars, stretching out two chains of order to lead the arrival of the Djinn and the Mother Tree of Desire respectively.

Chapter 75 Are you the djinn? Or am I unable to lift the knife?

The Hall of Stars.

Hastur sat at the top of the table, holding a star in his palm, silently watching the djinn who was obviously in a happy mood.

The djinn transformed into two golden arms and legs. A pair of long legs rested on the table. The slender arms lay flat and the body swayed gently.

A wish-making magic lamp is acting like a smug person at the moment.

After watching it for a while, Hastur felt that the genie of the djinn should be very similar to Medici in his early years. He had the image of a naughty child who did whatever he wanted and didn't need to be taken care of.

Compared with the lantern god who needs to be taken care of, the Mother Tree of Desire is very stable. Perhaps it is rooted in the earth, making it appear extremely calm.

Even if he loses this bet, He doesn't care at all.

The Djinn said in a brisk tone: "Are you ready for the Temperance Card? This is my trophy."

"I asked the believers to leave it at Behrens Port, and you can pick it up yourself."

"Are you trying to lure me into taking the bait?"

"what ever."

"We have to find another way of trading. I can't trust you."

The Mother Tree of Desire did not speak, and just let the Djinn God make his own decision. He had already seen the Deng God's methods and knew his true and false.

This time, it was the joint action of the three churches that destroyed his divine descending ceremony. This was by no means an accident. It must have been the genie of the lamp who revealed the news to the three churches.

Use their hands to win the bet while avoiding being targeted by yourself.

The idea itself is very good, but the wisdom of the djinn has not improved much even if it suffered a big loss from the secret.

Based on his understanding of the Djinn God, if the Djinn God is really that powerful now, then he will definitely go to destroy the God's Descendance Ceremony in person, and sneer at himself through the initial barrier.

But the Djinn God did not come forward directly, which proved that his current state was not good.

Bernadette did not go either, which could explain two problems. First, Bernadette was not his true favored one, and second, the Djinn God was not sure that he could protect Bernadette during the divine descending ceremony.

No matter which possibility it is, it can prove that the current situation of the Djinn God is not optimistic.

A Temperance card can test out the reality of the Djinn. This transaction is worth it.

"I can let the believers directly hold a ceremony and chant your honorable name. You only need to open the door of the kingdom of God and you can easily take away the temperance card."

"..."

Facing another temptation from the Mother Tree of Desire, the Djinn looked a little unnatural. He sneered on the surface and said, "My Kingdom of God does not want to accept a dirty thing with your consciousness."

The Djinn turned to look at Hastur, and said with a smile: "I originally planned to give this Temperance Card to you, do you dare to accept it?"

Hastur, who was watching the play, was startled by the Djinn's words, but he reacted equally quickly, "I am just a witness, and a small temperance card is not enough to please me."

The Djinn smiled and said, "Then consider it a small gift from me to your believer."

Hey!

The old ghost of the djinn is waiting for me here!

As soon as He started the bet with the Mother Tree of Desire, he had already planned to divert the trouble to the east, so that he could no longer sit on the sidelines and watch.

This is obviously an attempt to test one's own truth!

Just like the trap set by the Mother Tree of Desire for the Genie, as long as he makes any move in the real world,

If you do something wrong, your truth will definitely be discovered.

Unless he admits that he cannot intervene in the real world and has no followers or followers who believe in him.

But in this way, his deterrence is seriously insufficient, and he will no longer be able to straighten his back when facing the Desire Tree and the Djinn in the future.

According to the strong character and attitude he showed, he should accept this gift with a smile and easily, and at the same time let the djinn's plan go to waste.

This is in line with your own settings.

But this is obviously difficult. When it comes to the real situation, I am worse than the djinn.

After all, there is a Bernadette beside the Djinn God, and he does not have any high-sequence powerful people beside him.

The Mother Tree of Desire also cast its gaze, which doubled Hastur's pressure.

Hasta's thoughts changed quickly and he said with a smile: "I don't mind informing the Church of the Seven Gods and being a fisherman behind the scenes."

"I do not mind."

The Djinn tapped his fingers on the table and said with a smile: "Just think of it as a small reward for driving them to destroy the ceremony of the gods' descending."

The Mother Tree of Desire said nothing. This time it was her turn to sit on the wall and watch.

At their level, few beings can threaten them.

But He couldn't completely see through this palace of stars, which was a terrible thing.

The unknown brings fear, and more unknowns bring greater fear.

He was on the same page as the Djinn when it came to revealing the true identity of the Lord of the Stars.

"Testing often comes with a price." Hastur gave the djinn a thoughtful look.

"This is just a gift, you can choose not to." The genie showed no fear.

In this case, no matter which approach you choose, it is inappropriate.

The most appropriate thing to do is to flip the table.

Turn over the table? Barbarian play?

Hastur's eyes brightened slightly. An outside god like the Djinn must be able to speed up his role as a barbarian very quickly, right?

Tsk, tsk, are you the djinn? Or am I unable to lift the knife?

Hastur glanced at the Djinn again, and the Djinn's heart trembled inexplicably, as if something bad was about to happen.

"This is the Palace of Stars, why can't you always find your place?"

With a murmur, two chains of order flew out. Just as the djinn tried to dodge, the power of the stars suppressed it. The djinn was pinned to his seat and unable to move. He could only let the two chains of order penetrate his body. Then he was hung under the towering palace.

The Djinn wanted to curse, but found that he could not open his mouth to speak. Apparently there was an additional rule that prohibited him from speaking.

He tried to influence the rules of the Hall of Stars, but was unable to do so. The other party's rules only belonged to the stars and were not under his control.

Not only is He unable to modify the rules of the Hall of Stars, but he is also restricted by the rules here!

This is undoubtedly a shame and a great threat to Him who claims to be in charge of rules and order.

He couldn't help but think of the relationship between the Fallen Mother Goddess and the Desire Mother Tree. They had the same authority, but the Fallen Mother Goddess was the pillar and contained wider and greater authority.

It can be simply understood that the Fallen Mother Goddess is the superior of the Mother Tree of Desire.

Right now, the relationship between himself and the Lord of the Stars is similar to that between the Fallen Mother Goddess and the Mother Tree of Desire.

You are the inferior person, and the other person is the superior person.

If the other party wants to, he can completely devour him, and the price he pays is to add some more madness.

Thinking about his performance when he arrived at the Hall of Stars tonight, it was obviously because he had won the Mother Tree of Desire that his mentality was a little wandering, so he dared to be so presumptuous.

He regretted his impudence just now.

The opponent obviously gave me a step to step down, but I insisted on kicking the step away...

The Mother Tree of Desire just glanced at the Djinn and did not intercede.

He also felt that the djinn tonight was too presumptuous and did not know how to advance or retreat.

This is other people's territory, they are just clones.

A Sequence 8 dared to show his claws to a being who stood at the top of the Outer God, and he really needed to be dealt with.

When He first arrived and chose to take action, didn’t the Djinn also laugh at Him?

Now, the tide has turned.

"Stop your little thoughts, there is no shortage of you and an outsider here."
