According to the booklet, if you want to advance to a higher order, you must learn to be a real corpse collector.
He doesn't know much about these mystical knowledge, and as a noble, it's difficult for him to be a taboo corpse collector.
Only when he came to live in a suburban manor would he go to nearby villages and occasionally try to collect corpses.
It took him about eight years to experience the wonderful feeling recorded in the booklet, so he took the magic potion and became a Sequence 8 gravedigger.
It was not until last year that he became a Sequence 7 psychic.
It was when he became a psychic that he heard the voice of the Lord.
Following the Lord's guidance, he summoned the Lord's messenger, the toad creature from the spiritual world, through a ritual.
Then we developed new believers step by step until now.
Regarding the ceremony, this is already the third large-scale ceremony he has held.
There were no abnormalities in the previous two ceremonies, and he and the believers could indeed feel the blessing from the Lord.
It is a very warm feeling. After each blessing, you will be full of energy and vitality, and some minor illnesses can be cured.
Because of this, he believed in the Lord unswervingly.
"Have you ever thought that the Lord who guided you in the beginning was the toad messenger?" Maric couldn't help but ask.
"impossible!"
Earl Richard answered firmly and said disdainfully: "How can such an ugly creature be the Lord! It must be trying to steal the Lord's position secretly while the Lord is not paying attention!"
"Not only does it want to pretend to be the Lord, it even pretends to be the Lord's voice! If I catch it, I will definitely skin it and put it on the fire grill to roast!"
Hasta narrowed his eyes. Charcoal grilled bullfrog, sprinkled with plenty of seasonings, will definitely taste delicious.
Maric looked at Earl Richard as if he were a madman: "Do you know what kind of existence the spiritual world creatures are?"
"Aren't creatures in the spiritual world also living things? Can't they be killed?"
"..."
It was difficult for Maric to communicate with this man who had little knowledge of the occult.
The tired count continued the conversation.
"Thank you both for your help tonight, so that my Lord's power has not been blasphemed. I am willing to pay as much gratitude as I can for this."
Before leaving, Earl Richard asked for a thank you, and Hastur and Maric looked at him much kindly.
Only those who know how to repay kindness are good nobles.
Earl Richard paused and said awkwardly: "My knowledge of the extraordinary world is limited. I don't have anything particularly good, just some gold pounds and a little land."
"I know these things are a bit tacky, but they are the best thank you gifts I can give you right now."
A few pounds? A bit of land?
This is a new way to show off your wealth.
Hastur felt inwardly that he liked these more vulgar things now. If Earl Richard really gave him a sealed object, he would not dare to use it.
Maric had the same feeling as Hastur. He coughed twice and said, "We believe in the sincerity and generosity of a noble."
"Is a thank you gift of 1000 pounds okay?"
Earl Richard looked uneasy, thinking that this thank-you gift was too cheap compared to his status as an earl.
But he has spent a lot of money recently, and he hasn't managed the plantation much, so the income is much less than in previous years. He is not good at investing, so he doesn't have much cash available at present.
1000 gold pounds means 500 gold pounds per person, which is also a considerable fortune.
Neither Hastur nor Maric refused the thank-you gift that was delivered to their doorstep.
It was not until Earl Richard told them the price was 1000 pounds per person that they realized he was worthy of being an earl and was very rich.
Earl Richard certainly didn't have so much money on him, so he asked Hastur and the other two to accompany him to the manor as guests and to present a thank-you gift.
Hasta did not agree to the guest invitation. He asked Maric to accompany Earl Richard back to the manor to get the money, and told Maric to be careful.
His spiritual power was basically exhausted tonight, so he didn't dare to take any more risks.
After seeing off Maric and Count Richard, Hastur prepared to return to the lake to rest while waiting for good news from Maric.
Carrying a big wooden stick, I returned to the lake along the same route. Not long after I sat down to rest, I heard a voice.
"If something like this happens again, you can call me."
"Ms. Sharon, have you been around tonight?"
"Ah."
In the dim moonlight, Sharon floated down from the treetop to face Hastur, across a bonfire from him.
Even in such a dense forest, there was no grass or leaves on her body. She was clean and spotless.
"Okay, if I encounter such a dangerous situation again in the future, I will definitely inform Miss Sharon in advance."
"No, I mean the chance to earn 1000 pounds."
"..."
Hastur put away his gratitude and his eyes became complicated. It turned out that Miss Sharon was also very poor.
Sharon didn't say anything either. She just looked at Hastur quietly and then shifted her gaze to the campfire.
In the light of the fire, her face seemed a little red?
Hastur wiped his eyes gently and looked again, only to see a calm face without any ripples.
Was that scene just now an illusion?
"Has Miss Sharon been secretly supporting us tonight?" Hastur changed the subject.
"That was the case at first, but then I met a Beyonder with bad intentions."
There is someone else spying in secret!
Hastur frowned and asked, "Miss Sharon, do you know the identity of that Beyonder?"
"He didn't clash with me. He just stood there from a distance until you dealt with that spiritual creature. Then he left."
Sharon thought for a moment and then said calmly, "He should be a secret praying person, and he might be a member of the Aurora Society."
Aurora Club?
Could it really be Mr. A? !
Hastur's heart trembled, and he felt a cold sweat on his back.
How come Mr. A is here?
Is it really coming specifically for me?
Or is this ceremony originally related to the Aurora?
Many small question marks popped up in Hastur's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he felt.
If Miss Sharon hadn't shown up tonight, would Mr. A have attacked him?

"Do you know the identity of the person in the secret?" Sharon could tell that Hastur had something on his mind.
"It's just a guess. I wonder what Miss Sharon knows about the aurora?"
"Crazy people, a bunch of crazy people, life-threatening lunatics."
"..."
It's an apt description. It seems that Miss Sharon has also dealt with people from the Aurora Society.
Hasta said with a wry smile: "Yes, they are all a group of lunatics, and I may have provoked them."
"You are a noble. It will be safer if you are in the city."
"Has Ms. Sharon heard of Mr. A?"
Sharon nodded, her expression becoming more solemn. There were not many places where Backlund had extraordinary gatherings. She had heard other extraordinary people mention the extraordinary gathering organized by Mr. A, and it had a pretty good reputation.
"I attended an extraordinary party held by Mr. A..."
Hastur did not hide anything and told everything about his participation in that extraordinary party, focusing on the fact that Mr. A was inexplicably optimistic about him.
Sharon listened quietly and gave her own judgment: "Perhaps you have characteristics that you don't understand yet, and only people related to you can see them."
Is it really so?
Hastur sighed. He had also made this guess before, but he felt it was a bit unreliable. After all, apart from the Palace of Stars, he should have no other special place.
Based on the specifications of the Hall of Stars, it is obviously not possible for Mr. A to see through it. At least he has to have a King of Angels to get to know each other face to face before he can feel the existence of the Hall of Stars.
"If there is something special about you that he values, then he won't attack you easily. You are still safe for now."
"maybe."
Being targeted by a crazy person like Mr. A, Hasta did not dare to bet that the other party would always deal with the problem calmly.
What if Mr. A suddenly goes crazy or comes to find him on a whim?
Sharon thought for a while but said nothing. Her situation in Backlund was not very good either, so the scene became quiet for a while.
The wood in the campfire crackled, and the silence was not broken until Maric's return.
"Sharon, you're here too."
"Tonight is such a good day."
"1000 gold pounds per person, noble money is easy to make!"
Maric was very happy to give 1000 gold pounds to Hasta, which was a check representing 1000 gold pounds.
A thin piece of paper, but it has a very heavy weight.
Hasta carefully took the check, glanced at the expressionless Sharon, coughed lightly and said: "Miss Sharon, if you hadn't held the battle for us tonight, Maric and I would have been in danger. This 1000 gold Half of your reward is in the pound."
Sharon's eyes lit up, she didn't speak, she just nodded calmly.
"..."
