Today, the ancestral estate still grows flowers, including roses, tulips, phalaenopsis, and asters.
Its normal annual income was between 3000 and 4000 gold pounds, which was not as much as the only large plantation left by the old steward.
The income of that large plantation in half a year can exceed 4000 gold pounds. If there are no unexpected circumstances, the annual income will be more than 10000 gold pounds.
This is Hastur’s biggest source of income.
Hastur listened silently and let Neil handle these matters.
The annual increase of 4000 gold pounds in income, plus the income from the large plantation and his salary as a legal adviser to the Bavart Bank, totaled nearly 15000 gold pounds a year.
Although this is not as good as that of the wealthy nobles, it is far more than that of ordinary people and is enough to live a very rich and luxurious life.
It seems like a lot, but if you compare it with Miss Audrey, the difference is obvious.
Even if he didn't eat or drink and saved 15000 pounds a year, it would take him at least years to catch up with Audrey's wealth.
The gap is too big.
Hastur sighed and stopped thinking about these sad things.
Thinking of the good money he had made recently, he became happy again. With a wave of his hand, he asked Butler Neil to take out 100 gold pounds and give a bonus to all the servants according to their positions.
At the same time, he asked Butler Neil to prepare 2200 gold pounds, which he would personally return to Viscount Glint.
The extra 200 pounds will be considered interest.
Almost three months have passed since he was born. Ten percent interest for three months is already very high.
After finishing these things, Hastur prepared to go out.
As he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered the plant called aster.
If he remembered correctly, the manor left in the suburbs was called Aster Manor, right?
Chapter 72 The Djinn God’s Small Victory
Aster Flower, Aster Manor... could such a coincidence happen?
He paused in his steps and looked solemn. Any coincidence could be the prelude to a conspiracy.
Moreover, he has recently provoked extraordinary people from the destiny path. Any coincidence or chance may contain something terrible.
Aster flower…
Hastur stopped in front of the door and thought for a long time before he remembered the record about the aster flower.
The aster flower represents elegance and mystery. Many people believe that it has magical powers. It was considered a sacred flower in ancient Rome and Greece.
Among them, the star-shaped aster flower is used to represent the stars in the sky.
Represent the stars?
Hastur subconsciously looked up. Gray mist covered the sky above Backlund, and the bright sunshine struggled to shine through.
The stars that are clearly visible at night are hiding behind the scorching sun without a trace.
Hasta stared blankly for a while, then laughed and whispered: "Too many coincidences would seem too deliberate."
"Today is another beautiful day."
Hastur called the carriage, got in and headed to Gray Lint's house.
Graylint looked shocked when Hastur returned the 2200 gold pounds in the form of 220 ten-pound notes.
As far as he knew, Hasta's financial situation was not good, so how could he spend this money all at once?
"Hasta, are you the baron who assisted the police in detecting the workhouse case?" Gray Lint said in surprise.
"It just happened to happen."
"No, no, you are too modest, even though it is a good virtue."
"The police station gave me a reward, which is quite generous."
"They have been complaining to the king about poverty, but they can still come up with such a sum of money. It seems that you played an important role in this case."
Gray Lint asked the butler to collect the money while leading Hastur to the study.
"You should ask Mr. Greco to help you operate it. Maybe you can get a reward from the king."
With no one else present, Gray Lint spoke much more directly.
"The King doesn't like us Campbells very much."
Hastur was sitting on the sofa, sipping a cup of Marquis black tea, and his tone was more casual.
"Your father Voltaire, well... it is true that he is not very popular with the king, otherwise he would not have his title reduced by the king because of those ridiculous behaviors."
"Didn't his title come from gambling?"
"It's not all because of this. Your father lost too much land in gambling and refused to correct his evil behavior, which caused the king's dissatisfaction, which eventually led to the title being reduced from earl to baron."
Hasta thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I just helped solve a case. This little credit is not enough to make the king look at me differently."
Gray Linte chuckled, "It's enough if you add Duke Negan's weight."
"Graylint, you are still too young."
Hastur shook his head and smiled: "Except for the king's lineage, the Negan family is the most noble. Their influence is already too great. Duke Negan will never express his opinion easily on this issue of title promotion. They will even take the initiative to avoid suspicion.”
"That's right. Duke Negan has been much more low-key in recent years. The king is now more optimistic about Earl Hall.
, and even intended for his son to marry Audrey. "
Gray Linte thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed what Hastur said, so he did not continue the topic.
The two chatted for another two hours in the study. During this period, Hastur told Graylint a lot of mystical knowledge and asked him to learn some ancient Hermetic and Giant languages.
After leaving Gray Lint's house, Hasta went to Backlund University, and in the evening went to the Brave Bar to chat and play cards with Maric.
Another solid day.
……
West Balam.
The warlords here are divided, and behind them there are the shadows of many other countries, turning this half of the southern continent into a colony.
Tonight, in an unknown town, a black light surged from the center of the town. The black light spread in the wind, covering the entire town in the blink of an eye.
The residents of the town walked out of their houses one after another and came to the huge square in the center of the town.
Their faces were filled with happy smiles, and their eyes were full of desire.
All of them, men, women, old and young, took off their obstructive clothes and exposed themselves naked under the crimson moon.
The crimson light falls on the snow-white body, adding a hazy aura.
Reproduction is the instinct of many living things.
Even plants that cannot move still show an extreme desire to reproduce.
Reproduction is the continuation of new life and the truth that the world continues to this day.
To resist reproduction is to go against human nature.
Only by breaking away from the constraints of ethical dogma and indulging the desires from the bottom of your heart can you gain true freedom and happiness.
Indulge desires and multiply life.
As more and more townspeople participated, the atmosphere of desire in this place became stronger and stronger, and wisps of vitality spread out from the men and women, converging on an altar in the center.
Mahamus stood in the middle of the altar, using calm and bewitching words to lure the townspeople to take off their restraints and join this grand event.
His eyes were full of enthusiasm and a smile appeared on his lips.
He could feel that their god was watching here, and He was watching him!
Previously, he had always believed that sexual intercourse between men and women was a violation of sanctity.
Only by restraining desires can we awaken our divinity from this confrontation and struggle and see the gods.
But it wasn't until he truly met God that he realized that he had gone in the opposite direction.
Desire needs to be indulged.
Indulging desires is a way to love yourself most.
Only by being honest with yourself first can you face the world with the same mentality.
Restraint and moderation of desires are nothing but self-deception.
This is the instinct of human beings and the reason why all things can reproduce.
If everything in the world restrains itself and no longer reproduces life, then how dead this world will be!
Here we are, God’s gaze is penetrating through the layers of starry sky.
Maihams was trembling with excitement. Every time he witnessed a miracle, his soul would be baptized.
"Gathering people together for lewdness, you are indeed the scum of humanity!"
A deep drink broke the tranquility of this place.
Maihams looked up and saw a large figure surrounding him in the dark night!
"You lackeys of the church! You are trying to destroy the coming of God!"
……
The sea, the Dawn.
In the captain's cabin, the phantom of the lantern appeared from the wishing lantern and said with a smile, "Now do you believe I didn't lie to you?"
He was in a good mood. This time, the Church of Storms joined forces with the Church of the Eternal Sun and the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom to destroy the Divine Descendance Ceremony of the Mother Tree of Desire in West Balang.
Help him win the bet with the Mother Tree of Desire, so that he can have more confidence to negotiate and trade with the Mother Tree of Desire.
It was a small feeling of pride.
Bernadette stared at the Djinn God and said: "According to the news I got, the evil god did not personally preside over this divine descent, and the entire divine descent ceremony seems much simpler than before."
"This is just a try."
"You are definitely hiding something from me."
