Chapter 8 Bernadette: The starry sky is always so terrifying
After the trial, Madam Germani cordially invited Hasta to visit her home tonight, and she also hinted that her husband would be out for socializing tonight and would not be back.
For such a romantic invitation, Hasta could only politely decline, saying that he had important things to deal with tonight and it was not convenient.
Madam Germani was not angry, but before getting on the carriage and leaving, she looked back at Hasta a few more times, and then left with satisfaction.
Click!
Hasta took out his pocket watch, it was 4:13, and it was already past 3 pm.
Oh, women are all liars, boys should protect themselves outside.
Hasta sighed, and keenly noticed that there were naked eyes behind him looking at him, looking down from his shoulders, especially at his hips.
With a glance, he saw two elderly male nobles with round bellies, which made him feel a chill, and he hurriedly stopped a carriage to leave.
…
After returning home, Hasta went to the kitchen and started to work. It was still a long time before dinner, so he planned to make some hand-made beef balls.
First, use a round rolling pin to carefully hit the surface of the beef several times, beat the beef into minced meat, sprinkle with an appropriate amount of flour, pour in water, a little salt, and a little spice, then knead it into a ball, put it in warm water to set, and the beef balls are done.
After a good meal, Hasta took off his coat, rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt, and began to wash the bowl and rolling pin.
Every time at this time, he wanted to hire a suitable chef to prepare three meals a day for him, preferably a dessert chef who is good at making various desserts, so that he could satisfy his appetite.
But the thought of a stranger living in his house made him feel uncomfortable, so he temporarily gave up the idea.
When he has a stable income, he will consider hiring a housekeeper and a chef.
At present, in addition to the 1,000 pounds deposited in Backlund Bank, he only has 405 pounds, 8 soles, and 4 pence in cash.
The lawyer's potion formula and potion materials alone cost him about 530 gold pounds, and studying law cost another 50 gold pounds. Various foods and transportation also cost a lot.
He also had to prepare a sum of money to buy extraordinary materials for Sequence 8 barbarians, and he had to keep 500 pounds as emergency funds. There was not much money left for actual expenses.
At the same time, he had to prepare to collect 2,000 pounds to return to Viscount Greylint.
When he thought of owing so much money, he had a headache. No matter which world he was in, he couldn't live a decent life without money.
He wanted to open a law firm and take on some commissions to make money, but his current level of legal studies was still a long way off, and he was far from being able to stand on his own.
The best way to make money was naturally to meet some extremely vicious extraordinary people, then deal with them, and sell their extraordinary characteristics and potion formulas.
But this required one to be promoted to Sequence 8 barbarians before trying.
"Well, let's just endure it for now. I can almost digest the potion in two months."
Hasta calmed down and went upstairs to take a shower. He also needed to put the clothes he changed into a bag and take them out to a special laundry room for washing.
This was another expense.
The night was long, and he could only study the three introductory books on law by lamplight in the study.
After working hard until eleven o'clock, it was Hasta's favorite time.
He closed the book and put it away, got up and walked to the next bedroom, lay on the quilt, and prepared to fall asleep.
To be precise, it was to enter the Hall of Stars.
The boring life every day only left the little fun of whipping the djinn with a whip at night.
Sitting on the first chair, looking at the star where the djinn was, while driving the chain of order, ready to go.
When the shadow of the wishing djinn appeared again, Hasta smiled and whipped it with a powerful and heavy whip.
This time, he did not observe the reaction of the lamp god. He left after pulling it out without stopping for a moment.
Hasta tapped the table with his right hand finger, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and murmured: "It's time to rest again. I hope the lamp god can spend a pleasant night."
...
Snap!
The heavily sealed wishing lamp was pulled out again and fell to the ground.
"Asshole! It's even more hateful than the secret!"
The shadow of the lamp god appeared again, looking up at the starry sky above his head with a bad look.
This time, Bernadette also became interested.
In order to explore the secret of the lamp god tonight, she has not rested, and she really caught the moment when the wishing lamp was abnormal.
At that moment, the heavy seals seemed to be broken by some mysterious power, and a great force descending from the starry sky seemed to whip the wishing lamp and whip it directly away.
This is not a change that the lamp god can cause, but the power from the starry sky is affecting the wishing lamp!
Although I can't see the face of the lamp god at this moment, I know that he must be angry.
"You who claim to be great and extraordinary, actually have such a miserable time, it's really surprising." Bernadette started to mock directly.
The lamp god just sneered: "You don't understand what that kind of power represents."
"I just need to understand that the power is not to help you break the seal."
"Humph, can you really be so sure?"
"Is there really something in the starry sky that hopes you will return?"
Bernadette asked a question, making the lamp god silent.
In the past, He had a glorious record and provoked many enemies.
Now He is sealed in the Wishing Lamp. Those beings, let alone saving Him, have shown kindness to Him by not taking the opportunity to destroy Him.
"I think we can cooperate."
The Lamp God expressed his willingness to cooperate. Time was tight and He didn't want to play tricks with Bernadette anymore.
"I refuse."
Bernadette didn't give the Lamp God a chance to speak again and said, "It's late at night. I should go to sleep well."
"..."
The Lamp God watched Bernadette leave without appearing too anxious.
Bernadette was a smart person and it was difficult to find conditions to impress her.
But there was one thing that she absolutely couldn't refuse, but He didn't want to waste this opportunity to ask for a high price.
For several days in a row, every night at around 11:30, the Wishing Lamp would be pulled away from the spot.
Bernadette had changed from being on guard at the beginning to mocking the Lamp God for his incompetence.
Of course, she still maintained sufficient vigilance in her heart, and the Dawn was still wandering in the sea near the Storm Church.
On this day, the genie finally chose to appear from the Wishing Lamp.
Being whipped away once a day, coupled with Bernadette's ridicule, he could no longer endure it.
He must find a way to counter this situation, and cannot let the other party twist and turn him around. After all, he is also a powerful old man!
Bernadette said bluntly: "Tsk, finally stop being a coward?"
The genie ignored Bernadette's ridicule and said coldly: "Let's make a deal."
"I think it's just right now. I can enjoy you being whipped like a dog every night."
"Verbal attacks can't benefit you."
"But it can make me happy."
"Hmph, my patience is limited. Sooner or later, you will need help more than me."
Bernadette waved her hand gently and said: "Then let's talk about it in the future."
Seeing the conversation break down, the genie returned directly to the Wishing Lamp.
Bernadette put a seal on the wishing lamp, stood up and walked out of the cabin, came to the bow, and looked up at the starry sky above her head.
It was really interesting to see the lamp god getting angry these days.
But this also brought a crisis. It was unknown whether the mysterious power from the starry sky was a friend or an enemy.
What if it had already begun to try to help the lamp god break the seal?
Now the lamp god was humbly seeking cooperation and transactions, and it might be acting in order to relax herself.
She would not easily believe the sincerity of an evil god.
But she had tried all kinds of sealing techniques, but still could not stop the changes every night.
Is it really necessary to hand over the wishing lamp god to the seven gods for suppression and safekeeping?
This is a level 0 seal that can save lives at critical moments. Even if facing the descent of the seven gods, there is a certain chance of saving lives.
"The starry sky is always so frightening."
A sigh floated on the vast sea.
