Hibbert and Alfred caught up with each other for a while, then greeted Hastur warmly, and Audrey also chatted with her second brother for a while.
After briefly renewing their friendship, Hibbert and Audrey invited Hastur to enjoy dinner at home.
For such an invitation, Hastur just refused with a smile. The protagonist of Earl Hall's house today is Alfred. He will not come to the door at this time. He will visit later when he has time.
When they parted ways with Audrey and others halfway and returned to their home, Butler Neil had already arranged everything.
This time he did not notify Butler Neal when he came back. He should have heard the news about his recent return from Earl Hall's house.
I lay down in my own big bathtub and took a comfortable bath, washing away the travel dust along the way.
If he didn't want to come back to Backlund with integrity, he wouldn't have chosen an extremely slow means of transportation like a steam train.
Borrowing the path directly from the spirit world is many times faster.
In order to make travel more convenient in the future, Hastur has decided to develop a plan for the Star Chain after being promoted to Sequence 5 Chaos Mentor.
Rules relating to apprenticeship pathways.
My Sequence 5 self corresponds to the traveler on the apprenticeship path. In the future, I only need to open a space door to travel.
After enjoying the meal prepared in advance by Butler Neil in the restaurant on the first floor, Hasta sat on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor and listened to Butler Neil's report on what happened during this period.
After understanding it, he went to the study room on the second floor to read the relevant financial reports and future development plans of the factory and the law firm.
Because it’s only been about a month since I last came back, so there aren’t many things that have piled up.
At around eight o'clock at night, Hastur left Azshara at home, got on the carriage and went out.
He did not go directly to the Brave Bar to find Sharon and Maric, but went to Fors and Xio's new residence.
The address of this residence was what Audrey told him today.
Since Adam helped cover up George III's desire to be promoted to Black Emperor, Bernadette should not be able to detect this with her ability.
He needs to discuss this matter with Bernadette. As for the reason? All this is the will of the stars.
When Hastur knocked on the door of this big house, there seemed to be a sound of things breaking, and then there was the sound of Xio complaining.
After a while, Xio asked carefully through the door. When she learned that Hastur was visiting, she slowly opened the door.
"What happened just now?" Hasta walked into the house and asked casually.
Xio snorted softly and glanced at Forsi who was cleaning the floor. "It's not that someone's mental endurance is too poor. He was startled when he heard the knock on the door. He even spilled the coffee in his hand. land."
"Xiu, you have the nerve to accuse me, aren't you shocked yourself?"
"But I didn't spill the coffee."
"That's because you didn't have coffee in your hands at that time."
"Cough cough cough..." Seeing Forsi's voice getting louder, Xio coughed twice, signaling that there were other people in Forsi's house.
Forsi's face suddenly turned red. He hurriedly cleaned up the debris on the floor and put the garbage into the trash can in the kitchen.
Xio glanced at the floor that was wet with coffee. Fortunately, that place was not covered with expensive carpets, and he was secretly relieved.
After inviting Hastur to sit down, Forsi had already made two cups of hot tea.
He handed one cup to Hastur and enjoyed one by himself. Seeing that Xio was about to say something, Forsi spoke first: "I can only take two cups at a time. If you want to drink tea, go to the kitchen by yourself."
Xio rolled his eyes, got up and went to the kitchen to get a cup of hot tea, deliberately sitting next to Hasta and opposite Forsi.
"It seems that you guys have been living a relatively stable life recently." Hasta saw the two people's little moves in his eyes, and said with a chuckle.
"not good."
"It's not stable at all."
Xio and Forsi each exchanged a sentence. Finally, Forsi smiled and motioned for Xio to tell about their life during this period.
Xio took a sip of hot tea, and as the smoke rose, she took a breath and then told about her life with Forsi during this period.
Since the last time Forsi was contaminated, they moved to this place under the care of Miss Audrey, and then met a woman who called herself a sage.
During this time, the wise man sent Xiu out
Investigate the information and let Fors go out more often when he is free, act as a competent bait, and don't stay in the house all day.
Not to mention, Forsi is still very qualified as a bait. Within a month, she encountered three waves of people who wanted to attack her. Although they all survived in the end, it also left a shadow in Forsi's heart. .
Fortunately for Xio, she had long been accustomed to the life of running around outside, and finding information was an old trade she was good at.
Thanks to the care and feeding of the sage, Xio and Forsi are now Sequence 7 Beyonders.
In the words of the sage, they can finally be of some use.
But these are not the real dilemmas of Forsi and Xio. The trivial daily life of not being able to make ends meet is their biggest enemy.
If Forsi hadn't sold the news about the God of War's fall for a sky-high price of 2500 gold pounds last time, the two of them would have spent all their savings.
Forsi said with emotion: "Living in such a good house, daily consumption far exceeds the previous expenses. I always feel that buying too cheap things is polluting this big house."
"Yeah, buying clothes and food, we can't go back to the poor days." Xio also felt sad.
Hasta understands this feeling very well. At this time, due to changes in living environment, consumption concepts have changed.
Living in a big house, you can naturally continue to eat vegetables and live a hard life, but as long as you still have money in your pocket, you will gradually improve your consumption habits until it is worthy of the value of this big house. consumption level.
Hastur smiled and said: "I also have a high-reward mission here, which can help you solve your financial problems."
Xio shook his head and refused: "Mr. Hastur, it's not that we don't want to help, we don't have free time at the moment."
"Yes, our time already belongs to the Sage." Forsi also agreed.
"I'm here tonight. In addition to visiting you, I also want to discuss matters with your sage."
"Mr. Hastur knows the Sage?"
"Hastur is also a believer in the stars?"
Facing the different questions from Xio and Forsi, Hastur just nodded calmly and said: "Not bad."
Xio and Forsi looked at each other. Although they were a little shocked, they were not too surprised.
It was Hastur who helped Forsi become a believer in the stars in the first place, so the possibility that he himself is a believer in the stars is naturally very high.
"So tonight is the meeting of the Star Believers?"
Xio and Forsi's eyes lit up at the same time. The Sage was too high and unattainable, so they didn't have much of a feeling of being followers of the stars.
But Hastur is different, very realistic.
"A meeting of believers in the stars?"
A green and crisp pea vine appeared inside the house accompanied by a sound.
The iconic pea vine and the familiar voice proved that the visitor was Bernadette.
Hastur looked relaxed and still sat firmly on the sofa, while Xio and Forsi stood up subconsciously.
Chapter 361 Meeting of Star Believers
"Don't be so restrained."
Seeing Xio and Forsi's discomfort, Bernadette did not choose to sit on the sofa, but sat on a flat stool formed by the pea vines.
Xio and Forsi breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief at being a little further away. There was nothing they could do about it. The sage's aura was so powerful that they would inevitably feel fear when facing her.
Xio and Forsi sat down again and looked at Hastur together, indicating that he would speak. Bernadette also paid attention to it.
"We are all believers in the stars, but we have never been honest. There is a meeting of believers in the stars tonight." Hastur paused, glanced at them, and then continued: "Tonight's topic is how to stop George The third generation was promoted to Sequence 0 Black Emperor."
Xio and Forsi, who had just sat down shortly before their buttocks were warmed, were frightened and stood up again, their eyes full of fear and shock.
Xio looked at Hastur like a madman and stumbled: "Mr. Hastur, do you know what you are talking about? That is the king of Loen Kingdom!"
"Yes, Mr. Hastur, that's not something we can get involved in, right?"
Forsi didn't know what the Black Emperor was, but she knew clearly what sequence 0 represented. It was a god, a true god who was as noble as the seven gods today!
Just a few of them want to shake George III's promotion to sequence 0. It's simply a wishful thinking!
Not to mention how many powerful Beyonders there are in the royal family of Loen Kingdom, just for George III who is to be promoted to Sequence 0, he must be a Sequence 1!
Still a powerful existence comparable to the King of Angels!
Hastur's gaze just looked at Bernadette, who was frowning slightly.
"No wonder I always feel a strange feeling when I stay in Backlund recently." Bernadette quickly regained her indifferent expression, "Is this the will of the stars?"
"Yes, the stars did not allow George III to be successfully promoted." Hastur answered firmly.
"I am willing to contribute to this." Bernadette directly agreed to the matter.
She knew that her father jumped to the Black Emperor path at the last moment of his life. Although he failed in the end, he still left the last tomb undiscovered, and this was her father's last glimmer of hope.
If George III succeeds in being promoted to Black Emperor, then her father will also completely perish and never have the chance to resurrect.
Publicly and privately, she would never sit back and watch this happen.
"How dare you!" Xiu really wanted to say these words directly, but when the words came to her mouth, she changed her tone slightly, "I'm afraid we can't complete this operation with just a few of us, right?"
"There are more than just a few of us." Hastur chuckled and glanced at the frightened Xio and Forsi. "We are not the only believers in the stars, and we are not the only ones who don't want to see George III successfully promoted."
Xio and Forsi breathed a sigh of relief, but Hastur's next words made their hearts rise again.
"They have their tasks and we have ours to do."
"..."
Xio and Fors looked at each other and decided to keep silent. After all, they were both arranged to do so.
Discuss this important matter with others?
They don't even have a concrete idea of the enemy, let alone how to make suggestions.
It's like a group of big guys are discussing how to overturn a new world, but there are two little people sitting next to them who are inexplicably worried about whether they will have bread to eat tomorrow.
"What's your plan?" Bernadette asked directly, not doubting Hastur's ability to stir up trouble in Backlund.
"George III has been preparing for this for a long time. It would be difficult to destroy it from the front. My suggestion is to destroy the nine tombs he left in Backlund at the moment of his promotion."
"We don't need to destroy all the tombs, we only need to destroy two or three to disrupt his promotion and make him fall because of his failed promotion."
"There are many extraordinary and powerful people in the royal family, but there are definitely not many people who can reach Sequence 1 and Sequence 2. They need to guard each tomb separately, which gives us the opportunity to defeat each one."
