If a pirate fleet passes by here, they will definitely choose to stay away.
Because this ship is the Dawn of the Mysterious Queen!
In a room on the top floor, a lamp with a dim yellow light and a unique shape was flashing.
"You feel very strange today."
Bernadette looked solemn, and as she spoke, she continued to strengthen the seal to prevent any accidents.
"Oh, I don't need to tell you what happened, unless you are willing to make a wish for it."
"You know this is impossible."
"Then there's nothing to say."
As the voice of the lantern god disappeared, the wishing lantern returned to its former peace.
Inside the wishing lantern, the genie was thinking about what had just happened.
He could feel that a mysterious being was peering at him through the seal just now, as if as long as that mysterious being was willing to help, he could break away from the seal of the wishing lamp and regain his freedom.
Faced with the temptation of regaining his freedom, he naturally would not wait for the other party to make a decision. However, when he followed the source of his gaze upstream, he found that there was a starry sky in front of him, making it impossible for him to move any further.
In that brief contact, he vaguely sensed a kind of suppression, a superior suppression of rules and order!
This is impossible!
He is the one who controls order and rules. Even if the three pillars are stronger than Him, they cannot suppress Him in terms of order and rules!
Could it be that someone is taking His place?
The Djinn God was a little panicked. It would be more terrifying than sealing him in the wishing lamp.
If it replaces and devours it, it will be difficult for him to regain the dual pathways and essence that should belong to him!
Even the part of yourself outside the starry sky will suffer a catastrophe!
"Damn Mystery! If it weren't for Him, how could I have ended up at the mercy of others!"
"No, I must find a way to break the seal as soon as possible and regain my freedom!"
"If necessary, you can use Bernadette's power to grant her a wish without any negative impact."
The djinn fell into cursing thoughts.
……
Cuckoo! Cuckoo!
On the table beside the bed, a mechanical time bird composed of various parts is telling the time to remind people on time.
"It was a really comfortable sleep."
Hasta was awakened by the sound of the chiming bird, turned over, lay on his back on the quilt, stretched his hands up, and stretched.
From falling asleep around ten in the morning and sleeping until three in the afternoon, it was a full five hours of sleep. The feeling of fatigue completely dissipated, and the whole person was extremely awake.
Thinking of the Palace of Stars in his sleep, the corner of Hastur's mouth raised slightly. Finally, he had a trump card, which gave him more confidence to face this crisis-ridden world.
After staying in bed for another ten minutes, Hasta finally got up from the quilt, folded the quilt, went out, came to the mirror, smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes, and tidyed up his appearance.
Wearing a white shirt, a black vest, and black pants, he has a slender figure and a straight back, and he looks very energetic.
As a noble, even if he has fallen into poverty,
But the necessary attire is still needed.
Hastur walked to the cloakroom next door, put on a dark coat, chose a top hat, tied a bow tie, and selected a silver-plated ebony cane from among a dozen canes.
The handle of the staff is made of sterling silver and decorated with intricate carvings. The overall look is solid wood color and elegant.
Compared to the dazzling gold-encrusted cane and the noble gemstone cane, this cane was more in line with his aesthetics.
It is not ostentatious, but also contains low-key luxury. This is also the type that most Loen nobles prefer.
A pocket watch that can keep track of the passage of time is also a must-have for travel. Hasta opened the drawer where the pocket watch was stored. There were various pocket watches in it, about twelve or thirteen.
There are gold-plated ones, gem-set ones, and luxurious versions made of pure gold, etc. Most of them are round and oval, supplemented by exquisite and elegant embroidery patterns.
Every pocket watch here can be called a small piece of art.
Hasta was startled, and then opened a drawer next to him. There was still a dazzling array of pocket watches.
There are five drawers containing pocket watches.
In response, he fell into a deep silence.
Well, he admitted that he originally had a big misunderstanding of the term down-and-out noble.
No matter how poor one is, various collections can still be worth a lot of money.
The original owner seemed to be a pocket watch collector. Even if he had no money, he did not choose to sell his collection.
At the risk of being dazzled, Hastur finally chose a rather ordinary pocket watch, mainly made of silver with a ring of gold wire on the edge, and a matching silver chain.
After everything was ready, Hastur was a little afraid to go out.
If he didn't have these collections at home, it would definitely not matter to him, but now, all the servants at home have been dismissed and no one is home.
If a petty thief comes in, wouldn't he suffer heavy losses?
Alas, it is a crime to have a jade, what kind of pain is this.
Now is not a good time to hire a housekeeper or servant. We can only hope that the door lock is strong enough and the security in the area is good enough.
Locking the door and taking a set of keys, Hastur walked out of the room and onto the street.
The gray weather is very characteristic of Backlund.
He had no money for the time being, so he had no choice but to walk to Backlund University and take the opportunity to familiarize himself with the nearby roads.
There is still a long distance to go to Backlund University from the West End, so taking a horse-drawn carriage or steam train is a better option.
However, he was short of money and had no choice but to walk on foot.
Some nobles living nearby often cast curious glances on the road.
After all, the news that the original owner dismissed all his servants has spread throughout the neighborhood.
But no one came forward to ridicule him, they just looked over with a bit of pity in their eyes.
The absurd deeds of Voltaire Campbell are not a secret in the Loen noble circle. Many nobles also use this as an example to educate their descendants and strictly discipline themselves, for fear of becoming the next prodigal son.
From this aspect, Voltaire Campbell made certain contributions to the Loen aristocracy.
Hasta was helpless in his heart, but he looked calm and composed. When he met a noble he was familiar with, he would take the initiative to approach him.
Say hello before.
After walking for more than two hours, we finally arrived at Backlund University.
As a baron, Hastur received a warm welcome from Backlund University. After learning of his intention, they quickly arranged corresponding study courses for him.
You can come to the lawyer training class every day, and you can study until nine o'clock in the evening at the latest. Hasta's request for more free time, and his request to arrange his own study time was also allowed.
It is equivalent to hiring a private tutor, and the learning fee is higher.
As for when the tuition will be paid off, Backlund University is not in a hurry. They firmly believe that a baron's financial resources are enough to pay this small tuition, even if the nobleman's family is now in poverty.
This pleased Hastur very much.
After solving this problem, it was gradually getting dark.
Hastur did not go home immediately, but instead went to the home of a noble with whom he had a good relationship.
Viscount Glint.
Ever since the original owner began to pursue knowledge of the occult, he met Viscount Glint, who was also pursuing the occult. The two had communicated no less than seven or eight times and had a pretty good relationship.
Of course, this was only a good idea. If it weren't for the fact that Greylint could get in touch with Audrey, Xio, Fors and others, Hastur would have chosen to find another noble friend with whom he had a closer relationship.
Seeing Hastur coming to visit, Grellint's eyes lit up slightly and he gave Hastur a warm hug.
He was one of the few people who knew that Hastur was going to hold a resurrection ceremony.
If Hastur didn't come to see him, he would find a reason to visit Hastur's house in a few days.
"My friend, you look more alert than ever."
"Well, this is all thanks to the blessing of the ceremony and the goddess."
Hastur did not lie. If it were not for the resurrection ceremony, he probably would not have come to this world.
Greylint's eyes became even more fiery, and he pulled Hastur into a private room. After they sat down, he asked about the details of the resurrection ceremony.
Hastur did not hide anything and told him directly that the resurrection ritual had failed. He described the corresponding process in detail, but only skipped the fact that he had replaced the original owner.
After hearing this, Grellint said with regret: "It would be great if we could actually witness the miracle of resurrection from the dead."
"No, that would definitely not be a good thing." Hastur murmured in his heart.
Each of the beings who can truly come back to life from the dead is extremely powerful. If an ordinary person like Grellint were to witness it directly, he would definitely go crazy and die.
Hastur smiled and said, "The pursuit of this kind of miracle is exactly why we seek mysticism in the first place."
"Right."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while before Hastur explained the purpose of his visit.
borrow money.
He currently needs some disposable cash to purchase the lawyer potion formula and the required extraordinary materials.
Before he finds a new way to make money, he also needs some money to cover his daily living expenses.
In response, Grellant was very generous. Hastur originally wanted to borrow 1000 pounds for emergency, but Grellant waved his hand and lent him 2000 pounds.
The only requirement was that if Hastur made any new discoveries in mysticism, he should try to share them with him.
Naturally, Hastur had no reason to refuse this request.
The two discussed some occult knowledge again, and this time Hastur selectively revealed some simple occult knowledge to him.
This made Grellant listen with great interest, and he felt that his generous act of lending money was a completely worthwhile investment.
As the two talked, it was already getting dark outside. Greylint, who was listening with great interest, naturally asked Hastur to stay and have dinner together.
This is much better than Hastur going home alone and eating oatmeal bread.
