After Audrey said this, Hastur directly gave him a half.
"Mr. Hasta is so generous.
, OK, deal. "
Audrey didn't give Hasta the slightest chance to go back on her word, and directly finalized the deal.
Although he still made 400 gold pounds, Hasta always felt that he had lost 400 gold pounds.
Judging from Audrey's cheerfulness in paying, she didn't feel financially strapped at all.
"I'm not deceiving Mr. Hastur. A few days ago, I invested in a new project according to Earl Hall's arrangement." Audrey explained softly.
Hastur frowned slightly and said: "With Earl Hall's wisdom, you shouldn't need to spend a penny of your own money, but directly apply for a mortgage loan from the bank, right?"
"..."
Audrey looked embarrassed and her eyes were a little wandering.
She did invest in new projects, and she did not spend a penny.
The reason why she just said that was to enjoy the fun of making money from Mr. Hastur, even though the money was originally hers.
Seeing Mr. Hastur staring at her, Audrey pretended to be calm and said: "Mr. Hastur, I have a literary salon to attend later. I will leave today. We will talk when we have time later."
"..."
What could Hastur say?
He could only send Audrey, who was obviously holding back her smile, out of the study and down the stairs.
In the lobby on the first floor, Azshara, who was asking Susie for advice on how to be more elegant, stiffened slightly, shook out the black hair on her body, ran to Hastur's feet, and put her little feet on his trousers.
Hastur bent down and hugged Azshara. Susie on the other side glanced at the indifferent Audrey with a resentful look, turned around silently, and walked towards the door step by step.
At this moment, its figure seemed full of vicissitudes of life, as if countless stories had happened to it.
Audrey's eyelids twitched slightly, she knew that Susie's addiction to drama was coming back.
But it's okay, as long as you don't pay attention to it, it will return to normal after a while.
"Susie, Emperor Russell once said: Life is a lonely journey that is not understood. Only by learning to enjoy loneliness can you go further."
Hastur's voice made Audrey's heart skip a beat, and sure enough, Susie made a sound that was almost a whimper, and then walked out of the door without looking back.
"..."
Audrey was startled. She didn't know if this sentence came from the mouth of Emperor Russell, but Susie, you are a dog. Why are you so easily touched by other people's words?
"Susie, she is really smart. She easily understood what I said."
Hastur had a slight smile on his face, as if he admired Susie.
"Mr. Hastur has also read "The Complete Collection of Sayings of Emperor Russell, right?"
"No."
Hastur answered this question very honestly. He said it casually and then mentioned Russell's name.
Audrey didn't say much and led the two maids away.
When they arrived at the gate, Susie was lying on the ground, wagging her tail lazily.
Audrey wanted to laugh, but she suppressed her laughter and pretended to be stern: "Susie, don't you want to enjoy the lonely journey alone?"
"Wang!"
Susie immediately got up from the ground, came to Audrey, and started to please her.
The general idea is: Although the lonely journey is good, I have Audrey to accompany me.
"Hmph, let's go."
Audrey Micro
With my chin held high and a smile on my face, it was a truly happy afternoon.
After sending Audrey away, Hastur looked down at Azshara, who was pretending to be dead, stretched out a finger to tease its little head, woke it up, and then said:
"Didn't you just learn how to walk gracefully from Susie? Come on, let me see how you're doing."
"Meow."
"Don't deny it, I've seen it from the second floor."
"Meow……"
Azshara whispered, and then jumped out of Hastur's arms when he wasn't paying attention, and ran away.
……
At night, Hastur was getting ready to go to bed. He came to the window and found a line of words on the paper crane given by Will: Double the ice cream.
"Is there something good you want to inform yourself about?"
Hastur understood the meaning of Will's words very well, so he took off the paper crane, put it on the palm of his hand, and then went to bed and fell asleep.
In his sleep, Will appears in a wheelchair, pushing the wheel forward.
Hasta asked curiously: "Aren't you already discharged from the hospital?"
"Can't I use a wheelchair after being discharged from hospital?"
"Of course, do you need my help?"
"No need, I can support myself."
Hastur laughed, then walked over, pushed Will's wheelchair, and said, "If that's the case, then you should be able to make your own ice cream."
"You can eat for free, so why should I waste my time?"
Will rolled his eyes at Hastur, as if wondering how he could ask such a question.
After chatting for a while, Will revealed the reason for his visit tonight.
That Earl of Gill, who has been so angry with his unfilial descendants these days, will probably die in bed tomorrow night.
If you want to seize the extraordinary characteristics of the Corrupted Baron from Count Gill, tomorrow night will be an opportunity.
"Although this is a bit immoral, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
Hastur is in a good mood, and his briber's potion has almost been digested. He only needs to take away Count Gil's extraordinary characteristics, and then he can be promoted to Sequence 6.
"Didn't you lose things like morality when you chose this extraordinary path?"
"Will, you are right, so I have decided that if you want to eat ice cream from now on, you can figure it out yourself."
"??"
"Because I have no morals, I naturally won't follow the principle of repaying kindness."
A black line flashed across Will's forehead, and he changed the subject and said, "I have another thing to discuss with you tonight."
"Will, you actually used the word "discuss"?"
Hastur's expression became solemn, but Will rarely spoke to him in such a tone.
"The thing is, I've been used to eating chocolate ice cream and strawberry ice cream recently. I want to change a few flavors. I heard that a rainbow ice cream is popular recently. Each color has a different flavor. I also I want to taste it.”
"...This is the main reason why you came to me tonight, right?"
"You can't say that. This is a side reward."
Will smiled awkwardly, left a message to remember to bring rainbow ice cream, and then disappeared.
Chapter 217: Grab Extraordinary Characteristics!
St. Mary's Hospital is a large hospital located in the West District. The people who come here to see patients are either rich or powerful.
At the gate, Hastur passed by in a carriage and opened the curtain of the carriage to observe the specific situation of the hospital.
According to the information provided by Will, Earl Gill will die in St. Mary's Hospital tonight, and the bed he is currently in is in the fifth ward from right to left on the street side of the third floor.
Hastur didn't stop for much, he simply checked it out and asked the coachman to drive the carriage away. On the way, he also passed by the place where Klein's Nighthawks team was.
This was what the Nighthawks team told him the last time they came to ask for his help.
Hastur measured the distance between here and St. Mary's Hospital, silently calculating the time it would take to get there.
Tonight, he wanted to snatch Count Gill's extraordinary characteristics, and he needed to fight with the people from the Church of Steam and Mechanics. Once the fight lasted too long, it would easily attract the attention of the nearby Nighthawks team.
"It's not a big problem."
Hastur felt that his invisibility technique should be able to defeat him quickly.
In a ward at St. Mary's Hospital at night.
Earl Gill, whose life was about to come to an end, stretched out his trembling fingers to scold his unworthy children and grandchildren, but in the end he did not have the strength. His palm fell on the white quilt and his eyelids closed heavily.
Soon, a sad cry came from the ward.
The cries were very mixed, and there were so many people crying that the ward could no longer be crowded. Many people stood outside the hospital corridor and shed tears silently.
Among the bursts of crying, there were also a few angry curses. It was Count Gill's former friends who were teaching Count Gill's unscrupulous children and grandchildren.
Max Livermore was once the captain of a mechanical heart team responsible for guarding the Russell Memorial Exhibition. Due to poor performance last time and some personal family reasons.
During this time, he has been taking on tasks outside to keep himself busy so as not to worry about those annoying things.
This Earl of Gill was also a cleric of the Church of Steam and Machinery when he was young. He left the church in his thirties and began to mingle among the powerful circles of Loen.
It took 20 to 30 years to be promoted from an ordinary baron to an earl, and he was a very good man. The only place where he failed was in the education of his children and grandchildren.
He had a son in his later years, and he only had one son. His overly pampering education turned his son into a second-generation ancestor who only knew about eating, drinking and having fun.
This time, he even secretly took out the land deed from his home to gamble. After hearing the news, Earl Gill was already in poor health. He was so angry that he was admitted to the hospital.
While he was hospitalized, his son and grandson were left unchecked and continued to live, drink, gamble and have fun outside, and finally succeeded in driving Count Gill to death.
Before Count Gil was dead, he received news that he was asked to lead two team members to recover the extraordinary properties of Count Gil after his death.
In order to show the humane side of the church's law enforcement, he stood outside the door and waited for half an hour to cry inside before leading his team members inside and temporarily persuading relatives and friends in the ward to leave.
Close the doors and windows, and then begin to extract the body of Count Gil.
The Corrupted Baron Extraordinary Characteristics.
