Hastur was relieved and asked curiously, "How many gold pounds does that house cost?
"
Greco held out a finger and said, "Starts at 10 gold pounds."
"..."
Hasta immediately had no idea of buying back this ancestral house.
That was 10 gold pounds. He didn't know how long it would take him to save so much money.
Unless he goes out to burn, kill and loot, it will be difficult for him to earn this amount of money through his own efforts.
"Don't be so anxious, you're still young."
Greco thought for a moment and then lowered his voice and said, "If you can marry Miss Audrey, I think Earl Hall wouldn't mind giving you that mansion as a gift."
"..."
Hasta coughed lightly and said, "Grek, you know, I never like to eat soft food."
"Hasta, Miss Audrey is our most dazzling pearl in Backlund, are you really not tempted?"
"..."
Hastur did not want to continue discussing this issue with Gleick, and instead talked about his plan to open a law firm in Hillston.
Regarding this matter, Gleick was very generous, saying that he had already helped him find a law firm in the Hillston area, and he only needed a lawyer in place to open it immediately.
Gee, it’s nice to have a rich and powerful friend.
Hastur looked at the time and invited: "It's getting late, let's go out for a meal together."
"I don't want to make you poor all at once."
"Well, that makes sense, then I'll go have lunch alone."
"...You will lose me as a friend if you do this."
"A friend lost because of this is not a true friend."
Grek laughed and let Hastur lead the way, getting ready for a good meal.
……
After lunch, Hasta went to Backlund University and borrowed two language books from the library.
One is in the ancient Hermes language and the other is in the Giant language. They are both the works of some old professors from Backlund University who devoted their efforts.
After checking the time, it was still some time before Professor Foulun finished class, so Hasta stayed in the library and read quietly.
It was close to five o'clock in the afternoon when Lecturer Foulun finished his lecture.
The two went to the restaurant together, and when Hastur mentioned that he wanted to open a new law firm in Hillston District, Professor Folan's eyes were full of envy.
When he just graduated from Backlund University, he also wanted to open a law firm in Hillston District, the most prosperous business district in Backlund.
But the fees required are too high, and money alone is not enough, you also need connections. The court will not allow an ordinary lawyer to open a law firm in such a place.
Hasta spread his hands and said: "There is no way, that friend of mine is very good at money making."
Lecturer Foulun came closer and said, "Aren't we two friends too?"
"Well, I think you overestimated my financial situation."
If we really count the current available funds, Lecturer Foulun is definitely richer than him.
Lecturer Foulun wears many hats, including a lecturer at Backlund University, his own law firm, and two other law firms, and is a legal consultant for at least five companies.
The annual income, even if it is not 10000 gold pounds, is definitely more than 5000 gold pounds.
The two talked for a while, and finally Lecturer Foulen said that he could find two suitable lawyers for the newly opened law firm. Adding him and Hasta, there would be four lawyers.
Enough to get through the early stages of a law firm.
Gee, this is the horror of connections.
Chapter 80 Mr. A: The night has never protected you
boom!
Late at night, there was a roar from the dock area.
The sound was loud, as if thunder had come to the world and kept hitting the sea.
Hastur woke up from his sleep, calmed down for a while, then got up and got out of bed, turned on the brightest light, walked to the window and opened it, looking towards the dock area with a solemn expression.
The weather is fine tonight, and the light of the crimson moon shines, covering the houses as far as the eye can see with a thin, light red blanket.
But in the distance, there seemed to be black clouds gathering in the sky in the direction of the dock area, and thunder exploded, making people's hearts beat like drums, making it difficult to sleep.
It looked like it was thundering and raining down there in the dock area.
But Hastur understood that this phenomenon was unusual.
That was a vision caused by the fight between high-sequence powerhouses. His spirit was trembling slightly, as if to remind him not to approach that place.
Did Bernadette fight with people from the Rose School?
There may be more, the wind and thunder are so fast, maybe the people from the Church of Storms have also gone to join the battle.
Based on his understanding of the Church of the Seven Gods, they would first be hostile to the current Rose School of Thought, and then target Bernadette.
"I hope Miss Sharon and the others are not with Bernadette at the moment, otherwise they will definitely be affected."
Hastur is a little worried about the current situation of Sharon and Maric. The action of high-sequence experts from the Rose School may cause corresponding changes in the path.
The auras on Sharon and Maric's bodies may no longer be hidden.
All it takes is one powerful demigod to notice them, and it will be a fierce battle.
But he couldn't do anything at the moment, he could only pray that Miss Sharon and the others would stay not far from St. Samuel's Church.
After watching the battle silently for a while, Hastur discovered that the battle in the dock area tonight was not too fierce, and the fighting location might be on the sea.
Hastur looked at it for a while, and could only see black clouds and lightning twining and flickering, and nothing else could be seen clearly.
He gently closed the window and prepared to lie back on the bed and continue to rest.
When he just walked to the bed, the window was blown open with a bang, and the two windows kept making a rattling sound.
Unusual wind!
It feels like déjà vu!
Hastur sensed that something was wrong, so he quickly took two steps, held a cane, and at the same time drew out the sword in the cane, staring at the window with an evil look.
The wind was still howling like a normal natural phenomenon.
Hastur did not step forward to close the window, but still maintained the highest vigilance, and at the same time retreated towards the door.
I was thinking rapidly in my mind about what rules I should make to ensure my own safety.
Suddenly, a figure came with the strong wind and floated outside the window.
With the help of the light in the room, Hasta could clearly see the figure outside.
He looks very handsome, with delicate facial features, fair skin, a thin figure, and a temperament that looks a bit like a clerical worker.
Only his eyes were particularly noticeable. There was enthusiasm in his eyes, and he looked at everything around him unscrupulously.
Mr. A!
The first name that came to Hastur's mind!
He really didn't expect that Mr. A would come to his home at this time!
It is estimated that the night watchmen were transferred to the dock area tonight to maintain order and participate in the battle.
This gave Mr. A the opportunity to move freely.
Seeing Mr. A not speaking, he just stared at himself, as if he was admiring a piece of porcelain in excellent condition.
Hastur has retreated to the door. If Mr. A makes any movement, he can break out of the door immediately and shout for help.
If that didn't work, he shouted out the Lord of Storms' honorable name.
Maybe tonight's battle has made the Storm Lord turn his attention to Backlund.
"Mr. A, long time no see. What's the matter with my late night visit?"
Hastur felt that he needed to say hello first, after all, Mr. A had shown kindness first last time.
Even though that gift of kindness was a bit overwhelming.
"You are indeed extraordinary."
When Mr. A spoke, his tone was calm and not at all crazy or irritable.
"I'm just an ordinary little nobleman."
"I was also wearing a mask when I attended the last party. How did you recognize my identity at first sight?"
"..."
Hastur found it difficult to answer. He was so nervous that he forgot this point, and Mr. A caught the flaw in his words.
By the way, isn’t Mr. A crazy about beauties?
How can you speak with reason and evidence?
"I have been good at observation since I was a child. I can roughly imagine what a person looks like based on his appearance."
This is nonsense, and Hastur himself doesn’t believe it.
"So that's it, your talent is indeed very good."
"..."
Hasta was stunned again. He no longer knew what level Mr. A’s IQ was, and he would even believe such an obvious lie.
"It's just a little trick, not worth mentioning."
Hasta laughed, hoping to get rid of this topic.
"I came here to ask you something."
