Chapter 49: First meeting with Miss Sharon
Is this the irresistible fate of meeting?
Hasta immediately thought of the rule he had set when he entered the dock area.
He had also been to the Brave Bar many times. In addition to attending extraordinary parties, he was thinking about whether he would have a chance to meet Miss Sharon.
Unexpectedly, he met her today in an ordinary clothing store in the dock area.
She had long hair tied in a light golden bun, blue eyes, delicate features, pale face, and wore a complicated and exquisite black Gothic court dress and a small black soft hat.
She was elegant and looked a little serious.
Hasta's eyes flashed with surprise, and he retracted his gaze and looked at the owner of the clothing store. This was a woman in her thirties, dressed simply but stylishly.
"I want a decent set of clothes, preferably a rough and bold style."
Hasta briefly described his requirements, and then asked the boss's wife to recommend a suitable set of clothes for him.
Soon, the waitress in the store took a measuring tool to measure the various data of his body in order to select the most fitting clothes.
With nothing to do, Hasta looked towards Sharon unconsciously, but found that she had disappeared.
Maybe she picked out clothes and left while he was chatting with the boss lady.
Hasta felt a little sorry that they didn't have a few words.
The boss lady smiled and said, "A chance encounter always makes people more likely to believe in the existence of fate."
Hasta heard her implication and smiled, "If there is a destiny, the meeting of fate is irresistible."
"It's really a day that makes people sigh for youth."
"Youth has never passed away, it has always been well preserved in you."
Hasta praised and talked to her about Sharon in the boss lady's bright eyes.
According to the boss lady, this is the second time Sharon has come to their store to buy clothes. Every time she chooses several sets, all of which are the most popular styles. The last time she bought clothes was two months ago.
The boss lady once asked Sharon if she wanted to order a few sets for her, but was declined, saying that she preferred to choose her favorite styles from the dazzling array of clothes.
As for why such a girl with a different temperament from the dock area would come to the dock area to buy clothes alone, the boss lady did not ask, and she had no idea about private questions such as where she lived.
After chatting with the boss lady for about 20 minutes, the waitress just came out and said that she had already chosen the clothes, and then led Hasta to try on the clothes under the boss lady's reluctant eyes.
After changing clothes, with the boss lady's enthusiastic discount, Hasta only paid 3 gold pounds and bought this set of South Continent style clothes that could be sold for at least 5 gold pounds in Queens and left with a small bag of old clothes.
After leaving the clothing store, Hasta looked around and did not see Miss Sharon. He took a carriage and returned to his home in the West District.
As soon as he got on the carriage, a plain voice without ups and downs came into his ears, "Are you the young blond noble who likes mysticism mentioned by Maric?"
This voice, is it Miss Sharon?
Hasta's expression moved slightly, and he looked around, but he could not see Miss Sharon.
As expected of a sequence 5 wraith, his ability to hide is really amazing.
If I make a rule that no one can be invisible here, can I let Miss Sharon show her true identity?
Hasta just thought about it for a moment, but did not take action. He said calmly: "If Maric didn't know other blond nobles, then it should be me."
"Well, can you do me a favor?"
Even if she was asking for help, Miss Sharon's voice was still as calm as water, without any waves, and pleasant to hear.
"What favor?"
Hasta didn't mind providing some help to Miss Sharon and Maric. In the metropolis of Backlund, the two of them would be good allies and close friends.
"Maric was caught by the police because of some things. I hope you can come forward to solve this matter."
"Aren't you extraordinary people?"
"Ordinary people will be safer here."
Hasta understood the meaning of this sentence. Backlund is the capital of all cities where gods may descend at any time!
There are many extraordinary people hidden in Backlund, not to mention demigods, even angels.
The higher the sequence of the Beyonder, the more careful they must be when they come to Backlund, otherwise they will easily be visited by the Church of the Goddess of Night and the Church of Storms to check the water meter.
"I need to know clearly why Maric was arrested, so that I can come forward to help him plead for bail."
...
Backlund Bridge District, Police Branch.
Hastur arrived in a carriage. He asked Sharon to wait in the car and went in alone to deal with the matter. Although he didn't know where Sharon was hiding, she shouldn't be too far from the carriage.
This time, Maric's arrest was not a big deal. As long as the other party gave up the pursuit, he would not be punished.
The cause of the incident was not complicated. The night before yesterday, someone got drunk and made trouble in the Brave Bar. Maric asked his zombies to teach the other party a lesson. The zombies didn't control the strength of their hands well and injured the other party, probably to the extent of bruises.
In the end, the other party apologized and left the Brave Bar. I thought the matter was over, but I didn't expect that before twenty minutes had passed, the man called the police and said that someone had maliciously beaten a noble.
The police came to arrest the person, so Marich naturally couldn't let his living corpse be taken to the police station, otherwise a big mess would occur. He could only take on the matter by himself, and was caught and locked up at the police station.
With the extraordinary abilities of Maric and Sharon, they can easily escape from prison, but in this way, their identities will be exposed, and it will be difficult to live stably in Backlund.
There were many nobles among the people Marici and Sharon knew, but it was difficult to ask those nobles to help intercede because the injured man was a viscount.
It's that Viscount Graylingt.
Sharon learned through her own channels that the reason why Viscount Gray Lint went to the Brave Bar that night was because his friend Baron Hastur Campbell had been here many times, so he also wanted to come here to watch. after all.
Unexpectedly, he was beaten up before he even got a glimpse of the secret. He was so angry that he chose to call the police.
Sharon followed this clue and easily found Hastur. After understanding the specific appearance, she communicated with Maric and decided to come to Hastur to resolve the matter.
She originally planned to choose a few more formal outfits and talk to Hasta in person about it, but she didn't expect to meet Hasta in this clothing store in the dock area.
This is what happened later.
In this regard, Hastur could only lament that Gray Lint was really lucky. He could meet Maric, a Sequence 6 Beyonder, once he went to the Brave Bar and send him to prison.
Speaking of which, it was only through the help of Gray Lint that he was able to meet Miss Sharon and make her owe him a small favor.
Entering the police station, Hastur identified himself, explained his purpose, and asked the police department to consult Gray Lint for his opinion.
About an hour later, Hasta took Maric out of the police station gate, got into the carriage, and headed to where Gray Lint lived.
He had to tell Gray Lint personally about this matter.
After knowing that Gray Lint had been looking for the recipe for the medicine master's potion and wanted to enter the extraordinary world, Maric asked Hastur to take him with him.
He said that he could help Gray Lint solve the problem of the pharmacist's potion formula.
Hastur did not reveal his little thoughts. He clearly wanted to show his identity as an Beyonder in front of Gray Lint.
Also, being locked up in jail for two days and one night, I must have been holding back some anger in my heart.
Hasta did not refuse Marichi's request. Marichi went to see Gray Lint to express that he would expose this matter and would not seek revenge in the future.
Otherwise, if Gray Lint made him suffer such a loss this time, he would have to be careful when going out in the future, as he would be beaten up by his zombie team at any time.
In the villa, Gray Lint learned that Hastur was coming to visit, so he prepared tea early and waited.
When he saw Hastur leading Maric in together. Gray Linte's face stiffened slightly, and he quickly raised his chin slightly and hummed softly.
In his opinion, Hastur brought the other party here to make the other party apologize to him.
With a smile in his eyes, Maric walked up to Gray Lint and spoke with a slight smile on his lips: "Viscount Gray Lint, let's get to know Maric again, a Sequence 6 Beyonder."
"...!"
Gray Lint was stunned for a while, then looked up at Hastur. After receiving Hastur's confirmation, he froze on the spot.
A Sequence 6 Beyonder!
This should be the strongest Beyonder he knows!
During this time, he gained a lot of knowledge about mysticism from Hastur, and he probably knew what kind of existence Sequence 6 was.
That is already a sequence representing the middle power in the extraordinary world!
He himself has not even entered the initial sequence 9 yet.
After the shock, Gray Lint smiled bitterly and gave Hastur a look asking for help.
"Don't worry, Mr. Maric is from the Lawful Good camp and will not secretly deal with you because of what happened before." Hastur asked Gray Lint to relax.
Before Grayling could figure out what the lawful good camp represented, he heard Maric in front of him say gloomily: "I am not from the lawful good camp. I just like to kill people and turn them into living corpses. This way Even if he dies, he cannot escape my control."
"..."
Gray Linte shuddered, his face turned slightly pale, and finally he forced a smile and said, "Mr. Maric is joking, you must be a good person."
"No matter how good a person is put in prison, his character will change."
Gray Linte breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. The other party wanted an apology from him.
"Mr. Maric, this matter is my fault, and I am willing to compensate accordingly..."
Before he could finish speaking, Maric interrupted, "Forget it, I'm not that stingy. Let's just let this matter go. Well, it's for his sake." Maric pointed at Haas tower.
"Graylint and I are very good friends." Hastur said with a smile.
Gray Linte's face gradually returned to normal, and he felt much more relaxed.
"I have the recipe for the medicine master's potion that you need. How many gold pounds do you plan to pay?"
Maric gave Glalint another surprise.
