Oh, he does too, that’s okay.
"Mr. Hasta, don't let your mind wander to other places." Audrey's cheek kissed Hasta.
The shoulders were pressed together and she gave a sweet reminder.
"I've already lost my mind right now." Hastur caressed Audrey's slender waist, smelling the alluring light body fragrance.
Audrey blushed and was silent for a long time, and then she whispered: "Susie won't be here tonight."
Huh, Hastur's heart suddenly became hot. Is there any better invitation than this?
"Well, Azshara isn't here either."
"Yes."
Audrey buried her head shyly, and was hugged by Hasta, and then carried to the big bed in the bedroom.
……
In the early morning, Azshara yawned and came out of Susie's study, walking in the corridor on the second floor with obviously sleepy eyes.
Last night, the reason why it chose to stay in Susie's study to rest was nominally to supervise Susie's reading, but in fact it did not believe that Susie would study all night.
The final facts proved that Susie was far more perseverant than she thought, and she had actually been reading since dinner last night until early this morning.
So sleepy.
Azshara yawned and was about to go down to eat something first and then have a good sleep. When passing by Miss Audrey's room, she saw that the door of Miss Audrey's room was still closed.
Are you still awake?
It’s already past nine in the morning, right?
Humph, even more sleepy than me.
Azshara passed by with her head slightly raised, went downstairs, and began to taste the food.
During lunch, Hasta came out of Audrey's room. To be precise, he was pushed out by the shy Audrey.
Alas, we are already extraordinary, what will happen if we skip one meal?
Even if I don't eat for a day, it won't be a problem.
Hastur sighed and left. When he passed by Susie's study, Susie was still concentrating on reading. Azshara returned to being a little black cat, sleeping lazily on the window sill in the sunshine.
He didn't interrupt and went to the bathroom to freshen up and take a bath before going downstairs for lunch.
After waiting for about half an hour, Audrey came downstairs. Although her expression looked natural, there was still a little blush on her cheeks.
Like flowers that are shyly waiting to be bloomed, they are blooming little by little.
Seeing Hastur looking at her with a smile, Audrey suppressed her shyness and walked down the stairs naturally to sit at the dining table to enjoy lunch.
"Susie is still concentrating on reading. It seems that she will also spend time in the study tonight."
Faced with Hasta's pointed question, Audrey just hummed lightly and said nothing more.
"Mr. Rabbit came at a perfect time yesterday. It seems that I will give him a gift to express my gratitude when we meet next time."
Audrey pursed her red lips lightly and still didn't speak.
"I heard that there may be a meteor shower streaking across the night sky of the Southern Continent tonight, so I would like to prepare some food and wine for you to enjoy it on the rooftop on the second floor."
At this time, Audrey, who had finished her lunch calmly and gracefully, glanced at Hastur and said, "So you are such Mr. Hastur."
"You should have known a lot from last night."
Audrey couldn't bear such a conversation, her face quickly turned red, and she rolled her eyes at Hasta in embarrassment.
Tonight, Susie was still burning the midnight oil in the study, while Azshara wanted to see how many nights Susie could last.
Tonight, a meteor shower streaked across the southern continent in the night sky.
Tonight, Hastur shamelessly wasn’t shut out.
The vacation at the suburban manor originally planned for only three days was finally extended to a week.
……
In early August, it was obviously the hottest season in summer, but the sky in Backlund was filled with thick haze and scattered snowflakes falling down.
It falls on the skin, bringing with it the early winter chill.
In the history of Backlund, it has never snowed so early in August or even September or October.
Generally, it won’t be until after October that the sky begins to fall with the whiteness of winter.
It snows about half a month later than the cities in the Kingdom of Feneport at the same latitude.
At that time, the nobles of Backlund said with pride: "It is the enthusiasm of the people of the Kingdom of Loen that dispels the cold of winter, and the heavy snow will never dampen the blood and ambition of the Kingdom of Loen!"
Now, snowflakes have arrived more than two months early.
Many Backlund residents thought this was a good omen, but more residents thought it was an ominous sign.
Especially those workers who need to work hard are complaining.
Winter is coming in August, and they need to buy winter clothing in advance and also need to pay extra for heating.
Heating wood for a fire is not cheap.
And colder weather will make many already difficult tasks more difficult.
As for the homeless and beggars, they have always been a voiceless group.
Faced with the increasingly turbulent public opinion environment, the Loen royal family had to step forward and spend a large amount of money in advance to set up a special winter heating plan to ensure that every Backlund resident would not be overwhelmed by the cold.
At the same time, it was announced that this was a large-scale curse deliberately created by the evil wizards from the southern continent who invaded the northern continent. Fortunately, the protection of the goddess of the night prevented the evil curse from spreading, taking lives, and causing unnecessary panic.
When the news of snow in Backlund reached South Wales, it became another story.
Grayk, whose ambition was gradually increasing, and other equally ambitious members of the Negan family, Hall family, etc., with Hastur's tacit approval, began to spread the word that this was the Loen royal family's unreasonable behavior and unethical behavior, so it was an unknown fate. Snow is used to warn all living beings that this is the wrath of heaven!
The sky is angry and people are resentful, and then the people turn against them.
This is a very normal and reasonable historical process.
Chapter 605: Meeting Medici by chance
The tide of the times, this is what Adam always likes to say.
Now a new wave of times has emerged, a wave of times that deviates from what Adam envisioned.
The reason is because of the subsequent effects of Adam killing the Eternal Sun.
Originally this may not be a big deal, but sometimes a small raised reef may give birth to a new wave.
The wave of the times set off by Adam then deviated from the wave of the times that He had envisioned.
It's like a boomerang, thrown out and always coming back in the end.
It is a pity that Adam does not understand the boomerang theory, nor does he understand that those who create the wave of the times will eventually be affected by the wave of the times.
Above the Hall of Stars, Hastur watched everything develop with a calm expression.
The current situation is generally good for him. It depends on what Adam and the Night Goddess will do next.
If they do nothing, the Kingdom of Feneport will be pushed aside in a year or two, the faith of the Earth Mother will collapse, and her anchor will no longer be stable.
Once the Fallen Mother Goddess and the Mother Tree of Desire exert their power, He will only die.
The area where the Kingdom of Feneport borders Dixi County of the Loen Kingdom has Dixi County as rear support. The front battlefield here is far less intense than in other places.
But the atmosphere of war has gradually shifted in this direction.
In a hub city for transporting supplies, in order to supply the battlefield ahead, various food supplies began to be collected on a large scale.
Some unscrupulous merchants raised prices and raised the price of food step by step. The kingdom was busy with the war and did not interfere in these small matters.
"Food is gold. Look, this warehouse full of grain is enough to exchange for the gold pounds of a big house."
"Shh, keep your voice down. If the refugees know that there is a large amount of food stored here, they will definitely come here to rob it."
"Yes, we should keep this place safe. At least our family can have enough food to survive this cold winter by relying on our current job."
A large barn located in the outskirts of the North District announced that it had sold out all its grain. Several guards on duty were chatting at the moment.
The closer it gets at night, the more attention needs to be paid to security work. There are always some unwilling refugees nearby who come to pick up corn kernels that may have been left on the ground.
When the night is completely shrouded, the temperature gradually drops, and the white snowflakes spread again.
In the dark and dim environment, only two or three oil lamps illuminated it.
At this moment, a white light and shadow slowly came towards the dancing snowflakes.
"That's a person?"
"A person who seems to be made of pure light?"
"That's not a human being, that's the messenger of light who often appears late at night recently!"
"I've seen similar reports in newspapers, saying that His presence always brings hope and light."
"He is coming towards us. Are we lucky enough to receive blessings tonight?"
While several guards were discussing excitedly, they suddenly heard a burst of noisy footsteps behind the silent light, which seemed so messy in the snowy night.
They could not help but frown and hold up the dim oil lamps, trying to see clearly.
.
"No, oh my God, He's followed by a bunch of homeless people!"
"They are coming in this direction, quickly, turn off all the lights, don't show them the direction!"
After a moment of panic, they extinguished all the lights in front of the barn door, but the light and shadow still walked firmly towards where they were.
When that light and shadow appeared in front of them, the smiling expression seemed to penetrate all their embarrassing actions and hearts one by one.
Before they could speak, the light and shadow dissipated in front of them. Then, dozens of hungry refugees followed the direction of the light and shadow, broke through the obstacles, entered the barn, and began to plunder the food stored here. food.
The guards who wanted to resist reluctantly saw that the number of refugees was too large, and finally joined in the action of grabbing food.
On the city streets not far from here, the street lights were concentrated in the only prosperous area. The rest of the city was dark, with no shadow of light at all.
Hastur is sitting outside the window of the cafe outside the street. Sitting opposite him is a familiar figure, Medici, the evil spirit who escaped from the underground ruins of Backlund in the past.
