The old man looked at the court in front of him, where crimes were judged, and subconsciously bent down. Then he straightened up again and walked towards him with firm steps.
As he approached the door of the court, Hastur took a step forward and said, "Sir, you can only repent for the things you are guilty of while you are alive."
The old man paused, looked at Hastur carefully, and said with a smile: "May you have no regrets in the future."
"Same for you."
"It was an afternoon full of surprises."
Under the gaze of Hastur, the old man walked into the court with a smile.
Hastur did not follow, nor did he say anything. He just watched silently as the old man disappeared from sight and entered the hall that symbolized judgment.
……
"Baron Campbell, we meet again. Thank you for your generosity last time."
At night, at Gray Linte's house, Hastur met Xio and Forsi again.
In order to get in touch with the extraordinary party held by Mr. A, Hastur sought the introduction of Forsi through Gray Lint, nominally claiming that he was interested in this extraordinary party.
Unexpectedly, Xio also followed Forsi this time.
"Ms. Hugh, I would also like to thank you for your contribution to rescuing Professor Wayne last time." Hastur replied with a smile.
Three question marks flashed over Forsi's head. He glanced at Hastur and then stared at Xio, trying to find out the relationship between them from their conversations and expressions.
"Just an unexpected hire."
Xio couldn't stand Forsi's gaze, so she could only give a simple explanation. Seeing Forsi's thoughtful gaze, Xio secretly touched her shoulder and told her to pay attention to her image.
"It's getting late, we can go."
"Well, I'm sure it will be an interesting night."
Hastur smiled and left in a carriage with Forsi and Xio. As for Viscount Gray Lint, he had something to deal with tonight and really couldn't get away. He just entrusted Hastur to help him ask the pharmacist for the potion formula. matter.
The last time Forsi took over this task, there was no news after that. It was not until he contacted him some time ago that Forsi politely apologized to him and said that he had no way to find the vampires hiding in the night.
In fact, Forsi just asked Xio to post a mission to find vampires, and then nothing happened again.
It took the carriage more than ten minutes to reach its destination, which was a wooden house on the roadside. The environment here looked very desolate and remote.
The three of them got off the carriage and came to the wooden door. Xio said, "It's better to try not to reveal your true identity when attending this extraordinary gathering."
In order to prepare for this extraordinary gathering, she herself went through no less than three layers of disguise, and even used insoles to increase her height.
Well, she swore that it was really just a little bit higher. This was out of the need to disguise, not because she disliked herself for being too short.
Hastur also went through some disguise, wearing a black robe that could cover his whole body, and a black hood to block his hair color, and his face was wearing a randomly bought cat-face mask.
He was leaning on a cane that could draw out a sharp sword when necessary. This was a good thing he found while sorting out the relics left by the original owner.
This cane is silver-gray in color. The head of the cane is inlaid with a large white-yellow crystal. A short section of the cane is twisted in a spiral pattern. Inside the cane is an elegant and slender sword. , about sixty centimeters in length.
Hastur once pulled out the sword to test its strength. It was very thin and sharp, and could easily cut through hard bones. The steel was unusual, and the forging skills were excellent, so it was not easy to curl the blade.
He suspected that this sword might be some extraordinary weapon, but he had not discovered its extraordinary use yet.
Seeing that Hastur and Forsi were ready, Xio came to the wooden door and knocked on it in a rhythm of three long and two short.
With a creak, the wooden door slowly opened, and there were already many participants sitting inside. Most of them used various methods to hide their true appearance, and only a few of them revealed their true appearance calmly.
The three of them walked in, and the wooden door was closed again by the attendant.
Their arrival attracted the attention of everyone present, among which Mr. A’s gaze was the most impressive.
His eyes were like two slippery tentacles, crawling over people's bodies as they looked, as if they wanted to pull off other people's clothes and penetrate deeply. This goosebump feeling was disgusting.
This also made Hastur recognize who Mr. A was at a glance, but he remained silent and deliberately showed a hint of curiosity.
Xio introduced: "That person is Mr. A, a powerful extraordinary person and the convener of this extraordinary gathering."
Hastur nodded silently, while Forsi looked at the two blackboards erected in front of him, with lines of words written on them.
Hugh introduced some of the trading rules here to Hasta, who came here for the first time to attend an extraordinary gathering.
What’s on the blackboard is the deal the participants want to make.
They will write down what they need and what price they are willing to pay for it. If someone likes it and is willing to trade, it can be regarded as completing the transaction.
All transactions are notarized by Mr. A, and there will be no fraud.
Hastur listened silently, and then imitated Forsi and began to write his needs on the blackboard.
In addition to the earth rhinoceros solid horn crystal, he also wrote the medicine master's potion recipe.
He is not here to buy Roselle's diary, that would be too eye-catching.
He could already feel Mr. A's eyes falling on him from time to time, as if he was measuring something.
Soon, each transaction was completed under the witness of the three Hasturs.
But until near the end of the party, there was no news about the medicine master's potion formula or the Earth Rhino Solid Unicorn Crystal that Hastur needed.
"What a failed party. It seems we need to ask Greco for help."
Hastur murmured in his heart that his lawyer potion was almost digested and he needed to gather the barbarian potion ingredients as soon as possible.
Just when Hastur was disappointed with tonight's party, an attendant quietly came to him, handed him a note, and whispered: "This is for you from Mr. A."
Chapter 39 Mr. A: Are you willing to become a secret praying person?
Hastur unfolded the note, which read: "If you are willing to become a secret prayer, you can provide the earth rhinoceros solid horn crystal for free."
Hasta's first reaction was, Mr. A is really reckless!
As long as you have enough understanding of occultism, you will know that the secret prayer person is on the Hanged Man pathway, which is the pathway that the Aurora Club is good at and manipulates.
The reputation of the Aurora Society in the supernatural world is that everyone shouts about it. It is a force hostile to the Church of the Seven Gods and is equivalent to a terrorist organization in peaceful times.
Their members usually hide in the shadows, and only when they take action do people realize how terrifying they are.
Mr. A’s current behavior is equivalent to directly asking you if you want to buy a submachine gun in peacetime.
If you encounter a more righteous person, you will definitely report it directly to the official organization.
Hasta's second reaction: Does Mr. A like him?
I have always heard that the Aurora Society is rich in beauties, and they attach great importance to their appearance. No matter whether they are men or women, they are all welcome.
The more good-looking someone is, the more they like them.
To put it simply, it is a complete look control.
Hastur’s third reaction was rejection!
Not to mention that he was about to be promoted to Sequence 8 Barbarian. Even if he had not set foot on the Black Emperor Path, he would not choose the Hanged Man Path.
There are several extraordinary people in this path who are crazy. The only difference between them is that some people are relatively crazy and some people are very crazy.
Aurora's big stage, don't come if you're not crazy.
"Forgive me for refusing, I prefer to be a medicine man."
Hastur wrote a sentence on the note and asked the attendant to pass it to Mr. A.
Mr. A opened the note and glanced at it, then turned his attention to Hasta again. After a while of silence, he wrote another sentence on the note.
Soon, Hasta received a reply from Mr. A right in front of him again.
"Everything is a gift from the Lord. We all need to stay close to the Lord. He is the only salvation in the last days."
"..."
Hasta was silent. He really didn't know how to complain about Mr. A's thinking logic.
This sentence simply exposes the word preaching nakedly in front of me.
Doesn’t Mr. A know that at this kind of extraordinary gathering, the more enthusiastic he is, the easier it is to arouse resistance from others?
Am I so easily deceived?
"I am a believer in the goddess and will not deviate from it."
Hastur replied politely to save Mr. A from pestering him.
Less than two minutes later, Mr. A once again asked the waiter to send a reply.
"Earth Rhinoceros Solid Single Horn Crystal, 300 pounds."
Hastur thought for a moment and then wrote "Deal" on the note.
I'm not used to Mr. A's psychology, but he couldn't give up when faced with this kind of reasonable deal.
Xio and Forsi stared at Hastur for a long time, their eyes full of curiosity.
In the circle they knew, Mr. A could almost be said to be the most powerful Beyonder. It was incredible that such a person would value a newcomer who came to the party for the first time so much.
"As you know, I have always been very popular." Hastur explained with a smile.
"Yes, I heard that Mr. A is a very handsome man.
Man, it is normal for him to value you." Xio added with a smile.
"..."
Hastur was silent, decided to drop the topic, and asked: "What did you gain tonight?"
"No."
Xio and Forsi shook their heads together. One of them didn't have much idea about promotion, and the other was seriously short of money.
After the transaction, we took a ten-minute break and then came to the free communication session.
Hastur had no interest in this link, but he always felt that Mr. A's eyes often glanced at him, which forced him to show that he was interested in all kinds of knowledge.
"Are any of you interested in the words left by Emperor Russell?" Someone held up a piece of paper and looked around at everyone with excitement.
Hasta remained silent. Forsi glanced at him quietly and whispered: "Can the deal you mentioned last time continue?"
Hastur said: "I only accept the original manuscript of Emperor Russell. Other imitations have no collection value."
"Then how to determine whether it is the original manuscript of Emperor Russell?"
"I know a professor with rich historical knowledge. He is very knowledgeable in this field. And isn't Mr. A also very good at identification?"
