Hasta's steps also became a little more relaxed. When passing by a clothing store, he lightly sniffed his clothes, which smelled a bit stinky.
It must be that he stayed at the sewage outlet for too long, and his clothes were stained with the stench there.
Without hesitation, Hasta walked into the clothing store, ready to buy a new outfit.
As soon as he walked into the clothing store, Hasta looked surprised and looked at a figure in front of him who was choosing clothes.
Miss Sharon!
Chapter 49: First Meeting with Miss Sharon
Is this the irresistible fate of meeting each other?
The first thing that came to Hastur's mind was the rule he had set when he stepped into the dock area.
He also went to the Brave Bar many times, not only to attend extraordinary parties, but also to think about whether he might have a chance to meet Miss Sharon.
Unexpectedly, today, I met him in an ordinary clothing store in the dock area.
She has long, pale gold hair in a bun, blue eyes, delicate appearance, and pale face. She wears a complicated and exquisite black Gothic palace dress and a small black soft hat.
His posture is elegant and he looks a bit unsmiling.
A look of surprise quickly flashed through Hasta's eyes, and he withdrew his gaze and looked at the owner of the clothing store. She was a woman in her thirties, dressed simply yet stylishly.
"I want to wear decent clothes, preferably in a rough and bold style."
Hasta briefly described his requirements, and then asked the landlady to recommend a suitable set of clothes for him.
Soon, the waitress in the store took measuring tools to measure various data of his body in order to choose a set of clothes that fit the best.
With nothing to do, Hastur's eyes unconsciously looked in the direction of Sharon, only to find that she had disappeared.
Maybe while he was chatting with the landlady, she picked out her clothes and left.
It was a pity that Hastur was unable to exchange a few words.
The landlady smiled and said: "A chance encounter always makes it easier for people to believe in the existence of fate."
Hasta heard the hidden meaning of her words and said with a smile: "If we are destined, the fateful meeting will be irresistible."
"It's such a youthful day."
"Youth has never passed away, it has always been well preserved in you."
Hasta complimented her and talked to her about Sharon as her eyes brightened.
According to the proprietress, this is the second time Sharon has come to their store to buy clothes. Each time she chooses several sets, all of which are the most popular styles. The last time she bought clothes was two months ago.
The proprietress once asked Sharon if she wanted to order a few sets for her, but she was declined, saying that she preferred to choose her favorite styles from the dazzling array of clothes.
As for why such a girl with a different temperament from the dock area came to the dock area to buy clothes alone, the landlady didn't ask. She didn't know anything about such private issues as where she lived.
After chatting with the landlady for about 20 minutes, the waitress just came over and said that she had selected clothes, and then led Hasta to try on clothes under the look of the landlady with reluctance.
After changing his clothes, Hasta paid only 3 gold pounds for the landlady's enthusiastic discount, and left with a set of Southern Continental-style clothes that would sell for at least 5 gold pounds in Queens. He also took a small bag of old clothes with him. .
After leaving the clothing store, Hasta scanned around and saw no trace of Miss Sharon. He took a carriage and returned to his home in the West District.
As soon as he got on the carriage, a calm voice came into his ears, "Are you the blond young nobleman who likes mysticism as Maric mentioned?"
Is this voice Miss Sharon?
Hastur's expression changed slightly, and he looked around, but couldn't see
To the figure of Miss Sharon.
As expected of a Sequence 5 resentful soul, its ability to hide is truly amazing.
If I make a rule that no invisibility is allowed here, can Miss Sharon reveal her true identity?
Hastur just thought for a moment but did not take action. He said calmly: "If Maric doesn't know other blond nobles, it should be me."
"Well, can you do me a favor?"
Even if she asked for help, Miss Sharon's voice was still as calm as water, without any waves, and still sounded good.
"What's the deal?"
Hastur doesn't mind providing some help to Miss Sharon and Maric. In the metropolis of Backlund, the two of them will be good allies and close friends.
"Maric was caught by the police department for some things. I hope you can come forward to solve the matter."
"Aren't you extraordinary?"
"Ordinary people will be safer here."
Hasta understands the meaning behind these words. Backlund is the capital of Mandu that may trigger a divine descent at any time!
There are quite a few extraordinary people hiding in Backlund, not to mention demigods, even angels.
The higher-sequence Beyonders come to Backlund, the more careful they must be, otherwise they will easily be visited by personnel from the Church of the Night Goddess and the Church of Storms to check the water meter.
"I need to know clearly why Maric was arrested so that I can intercede for his bail."
……
Backlund Bridge District, Police Division.
Hastur arrived in a carriage. He asked Sharon to wait in the carriage while he went in to handle the matter alone. Although he didn't know where Sharon was hiding, it shouldn't be too far from the carriage.
No matter how serious the matter of Maric's arrest this time is, as long as the other party gives up the pursuit, he will not receive any punishment.
The cause of the incident is not complicated. Someone was drunk and causing trouble at the Brave Bar the night before. Maric asked his living corpse to teach the other party a lesson. The living corpse did not control its strength well and injured the other party, probably with a bruise and a swollen face.
In the end, the other party apologized and left the Brave Man Bar. He thought that the matter would just go away, but unexpectedly, not even twenty minutes had passed, that person called the police and reported that someone maliciously assaulted a noble.
The police came to arrest the person, so Marich naturally couldn't let his living corpse be taken to the police station, otherwise a big mess would occur. He could only take on the matter by himself, and was caught and locked up at the police station.
With the extraordinary abilities of Maric and Sharon, they can easily escape from prison, but in this way, their identities will be exposed, and it will be difficult to live stably in Backlund.
Maric and Sharon knew many nobles, but it was difficult to ask those nobles to help intercede because the injured man was a viscount.
It's that Viscount Graylingt.
Sharon learned through her own channels that the reason why Viscount Gray Lint went to the Brave Bar that night was because his friend Baron Hastur Campbell had been here many times, so he also wanted to come here to watch. after all.
Unexpectedly, he was beaten up before he could get a glimpse of the secret. He was so angry that he chose to call the police.
Sharon followed this clue and easily found Hastur. After learning his specific appearance, she communicated with Maric and
Decided to ask Hastur to resolve the matter.
She originally planned to choose a few more formal outfits and talk to Hasta in person about the matter, but she didn't expect to meet Hasta in this clothing store in the dock area.
This is what happened later.
In this regard, Hastur could only lament that Gray Lint was really lucky. He could meet Maric, a Sequence 6 Beyonder, once he went to the Brave Bar and send him to prison.
Speaking of which, it was only through the help of Gray Lint that he was able to meet Miss Sharon and make her owe him a small favor.
Entering the police station, Hastur identified himself, explained his purpose, and asked the police department to consult Gray Lint for his opinion.
About an hour later, Hastur took Maric out of the police station gate, got on the carriage, and headed to where Gralint lived.
He had to talk to Greylint about this matter in person.
After learning that Greylint had been looking for the formula of the pharmacist's potion and wanted to step into the extraordinary world, Maric asked Hastur to take him with him.
He said he could help Greylint solve the problem of the pharmacist's potion formula.
Hastur did not expose his little trick, which was clearly an intentional attempt to reveal his Beyonder identity in front of Greylint.
Yes, after being locked up in prison for two days and one night, he must have been feeling very angry.
Hastur did not reject Maric's request. Maric's willingness to meet Greylint indicated that he would let the matter go and would not seek revenge again in the future.
Otherwise, after Greylint let him suffer such a loss this time, he would have to be careful when going out in the future, as he might be beaten up by his zombie squad at any time.
Inside the villa, Grellint learned that Hastur was coming to visit, so he prepared tea and snacks early.
When he saw Hastur leading Maric in, Grellint's face froze slightly, then he raised his chin slightly and snorted.
In his opinion, Hastur brought the other party here definitely for the other party to apologize to him.
Maric's eyes were full of smiles. He walked up to Greylint, raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Viscount Greylint, let me introduce you to Maric, a Sequence 6 Beyonder."
"...!"
Greylint was stunned for a while, then looked up at Hastur. After getting Hastur's affirmation, he stood there stupidly.
A Sequence 6 Beyonder!
This should be the strongest extraordinary person he knows!
During this period, he gained a lot of knowledge about mysticism from Hastur and roughly knew what kind of existence Sequence 6 was.
That already represents the sequence of middle-level forces in the extraordinary world!
He himself hasn't even entered the initial Sequence 9 yet.
After the shock, Grellint smiled bitterly and gave Hastur a look asking for help.
"Don't worry, Mr. Maric is in the lawful good camp and will not secretly deal with you because of what happened before." Hastur assured Greylint.
Before Greylint could figure out what the lawful good camp meant, he heard Maric in front of him say gloomily, "I am not a lawful good camp. I just like to kill people and turn them into zombies. This way, even if they die, they cannot escape my control."
"..."
Grellint shuddered, his face turned slightly pale, and finally he forced a smile and said, "Mr. Maric, you are joking. You must be a good person."
“Even the best person will change his character when he is put in prison.”
Grellint was relieved when he heard this. The other party seemed to want an apology from him.
"Mr. Maric, I was wrong about this matter. I am willing to make corresponding compensation..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Maric, "Forget it, I'm not such a petty person, let's just forget about this matter, well, this is for his sake." Maric pointed at Hasta.
"Grelint and I are very good friends." Hastur said with a smile.
Grallint's complexion gradually returned to normal and he felt much more relaxed.
"I have the Apothecary potion formula you need. How many gold pounds are you willing to pay?"
Maric gave Grellint another surprise.
