The old man didn't speak anymore and fell silent again.
"The old man is a little confused tonight."
Leonard muttered, and when he caught a glimpse of Serafina coming from the other side, he hurriedly moved to stay away from her.
At the small auction, Klein bid on three items in succession as Dawn Downstad.
This caused many nobles present to glance at him, as if to
I have a slight impression.
Faced with the scrutiny, Klein always smiled appropriately, but his heart was secretly bleeding.
The items he chose to bid for were small items such as earrings and pendants, each worth about 100 gold pounds, but in the end he spent nearly 400 gold pounds to successfully buy these three items.
The reason why he chose to take three consecutive photos was to deepen the impression of him by the nobles present.
If it was just once or twice, it would definitely not attract much attention, but three times in a row and with a relatively unfamiliar name, it would easily attract the attention of others.
The name Dawn Downstad is destined to become famous tonight, even if it comes at a cost of 400 gold pounds.
"The goal of coming to the party tonight can be considered accomplished. Fortunately, I didn't have to bid for those valuable items." Klein was secretly grateful in his heart.
There were many wealthy aristocratic ladies present, and when they faced jewelry with completely different styles from South Wales and Backlund, each offer was more cruel than the last.
Among them is a necklace called Blue Ocean, which is carefully crafted from sapphires and pearls. Under the light, it can emit light blue light.
If you look at it from a certain angle, you can even see a blue ocean swaying gently inside the sapphire.
This blue ocean was eventually acquired by a lady named Germani at a high price of 12000 gold pounds.
According to his estimate, the total auction amount tonight may exceed 10 gold pounds.
The aristocrats are really a wealthy group.
Klein sighed and moved a little away, feeling the cool breeze.
Time passed by and once the auction was over it was time to dance.
The aristocratic lady who had chatted with Klein before came over. Klein naturally smiled, held her hand, and invited her to dance.
While dancing, Klein caught a glimpse of Mrs. Gemani, who spent the most money tonight, and successfully danced with Hastur.
This seems to be an unspoken rule in the aristocratic circle. As the host of the event, he should not refuse a small request from the most popular guest tonight.
"Although sometimes, I feel that money is a smelly thing, but tonight, it helped me realize a small wish." Mrs. Germani whispered softly.
"This shows that money is an important thing for everyone that cannot be replaced."
With the ball over, tonight's Care of Magical Creatures Charity Gala has come to an end.
……
At around twelve o'clock, Hastur was in the study listening to the reports from the maid and the gardener. As for the two corpses, he was not interested in seeing them.
It is natural that some people will target you secretly.
Hastur has never worried about this. As long as they dare to take action, it is easy to find the person lurking behind it by peeking into the relevant fate.
But tonight, the situation is a bit special. The fate of these two people has been cut off, and they cannot go up the river of fate.
This shows that the people hidden behind have high attainments in the path of destiny.
Seeing that neither the maid nor the gardener could solve the matter, and Mrs. Lisa was still sitting in South Wales, Hastur could only take over the matter on her own.
Late at night, Hastur was lying
On the bed, enter the Hall of Stars.
The maid and the gardener are both Sequence 4 priests of the King in Yellow path. Although they have not yet been promoted to Sequence 3 Life Stealing, they still have certain abilities in destiny. Even they can't find the problem. Hasta is really looking forward to it.
When he began to peek into the related fate of the two people tonight, he also encountered the situation mentioned by the maid and the gardener. The related fate line was cut off and he could no longer explore further.
Unlike the two of them, Hastur clearly saw the scissors cutting the thread of fate.
Different from the large pair of scissors in the gardener's hand that can be used to trim branches and leaves, this pair of scissors looks much slender and smaller, just like the small scissors used by a girl to cut cloth or paper.
The whole body of the scissors is like pouring silver, with streaks of golden lines engraved on the shiny white cutting surface.
The tip of the scissors is slightly sinuous, like two silver-white snakes intertwined.
The pin is slightly raised, and the shape of a human face is vaguely visible. It is a feminine face, but there is only one eye, which is located a little above the bridge of the nose.
It was such a pair of scissors that easily cut the fate of two people tonight into pieces, making their fates drift away like kites with broken strings, unable to fly back again.
Hastur ended his destiny peeping, gently rubbed the corners of his eyes, then materialized pen and paper, and completely imprinted the appearance of the pair of scissors he just spied on on the paper.
He originally thought that things like cutting fate into pieces might be related to the Ring of Fate. After all, he had officially stood on his opposite side.
But judging from the style this time, it probably wasn’t His handiwork.
You can ask Will.
After leaving the Hall of Stars, Hastur entered the dreamland and saw Will yawning.
Will, who originally wanted to complain, caught a glimpse of the scissors pattern printed by Hastur, his sleepy eyes suddenly opened, and he suddenly grabbed the pattern, and his whole body became energetic instantly.
"Where did you learn about this pattern?"
"Is it important?" Hastur asked calmly.
"This pattern is very important." Will looked at it carefully for a while and said solemnly: "I also saw this pair of scissors, just in a dream two days ago."
"In a dream?" Hasta's expression became serious.
The dreams of mercury snakes like Will are extraordinary. They are basically a revelation of fate to their future.
"Yes, in a gray dream, I transformed into a mercury snake, and then my body was cut in half with a pair of small scissors, making it bloody."
After Will finished telling the story, his body shivered slightly, which showed that this dream was about to leave a psychological shadow on him.
"Is this specifically to restrain you?"
"Judging from my dreams and your experience tonight, it can indeed cut fate into pieces." Will's face was full of worry, "It can cut fate into pieces, and naturally it can cut me and that stupid dog into pieces." snake."
"I think He must have had the same dream as me."
Hastur also fell silent. If it was true as Will said, then the owner behind the scissors must represent an old Outer God, and it was an Old Outer God that he had never known before.
There are too many outer gods entrenched in the starry sky in the past. The Mother Tree of Desire and the Super Star Lord are just the more powerful or famous among them.
There are still many outer gods that have not revealed any trace of their past.
"I don't care, this matter must be related to you, you must protect me."
Will raised his big, watery eyes with a pitiful expression on his face: "Can you bear to reject me?"
I can't bear it.
Before Hastur could say these words, Will hurriedly said: "I know you can't bear it."
Chapter 469 Demonstrations and Provocations
Tsk, I have already learned to answer this.
Hasta smiled and told Will not to be too nervous. Even if there is an outer god from the past behind the scissors, he is still isolated from the original barrier and has very limited influence on the real world.
Will and Ouroleus are both mercury snakes that symbolize destiny. They have been able to reach this point, and they are loved by fate.
Destiny will not easily abandon its favored ones.
"No matter what, you should be responsible for all this anyway. I am just a child who has not fully grown up."
Will looked like I've become dependent on you.
"Last time Ourolius asked me where you were hiding."
"Don't scare me with that stupid snake. He must be staying with the true Creator now."
"You guys really understand each other."
"Ha, you don't have to say that."
After chatting with Hastur for a while, Will's mood improved a lot.
Regarding the scissors, although he couldn't help much, he gave Hastur a reminder, saying that in the next few days, the fate of Backlund will fluctuate, and the fate of many people will be affected by what happened tonight. and be affected.
"By the way, remember to ask for a new flavor of ice cream. I've been eating that one lately and I'm almost tired of it."
After sending Will away, Hastur also exited the dream and began to think about what Will's reminder meant.
The next day, when Hasta finished washing and went downstairs to have breakfast, Butler Neil came in in a panic. He hesitated to speak, but he waited until Hasta finished breakfast before he came over.
"what happened?"
"My Lord Earl, this is what happened." Butler Neil waved away the other maids before continuing: "Many nobles who came to the charity party last night suffered from diarrhea around early this morning and were rushed to the hospital."
"There are currently more than 20 known people, and the number of sick people is still increasing."
"There are already many rumors that this incident was caused by food poisoning caused by attending a charity gala last night."
Hastur listened silently, this is what Will wants to remind himself, right?
Food poisoning?
What a fresh reason. I tasted a few delicacies last night and found nothing unusual.
And when they left, none of the nobles were in ill health.
If there was anything out of the ordinary...the wind was a bit unusual.
"Did you call the police for such a big thing?"
"Not yet." Butler Neil said worriedly: "This matter is related to the reputation of the earl. Wouldn't it be bad to call the police?"
"Since there is a major problem, it is natural to call the police. Only by investigating clearly can we prevent rumors from spreading everywhere."
"I understand, I'll do it right away."
After Butler Neil left, Hastur was silent for a while, then got up and took the car to Earl Hall's house.
He wanted to see if Hibbert was also abnormal. After all, this was his future uncle.
When he arrived at Earl Hall's house, Hibbert had already gone out for work, and there were only Audrey and Countess Hall at home.
Facing his arrival, Countess Hall smiled and welcomed him warmly.
