Chapter 51 Well, just a whip will do
After returning home, Hasta talked to Butler Neil about the suburban manor.
"If you want to live in a suburban manor, you need to hire at least ten more people, maids, gardeners, handymen..."
"Try to reduce the number of people, and arrange other things as you said."
"When will you go to live there?"
"Is it okay within three days?"
"If the manor is very large, three days will not be enough time to clean and decorate it."
Hasta didn't know how to answer this question. He had never been to the manor, but he had heard from the old butler that the manor was very large.
As for how large it was, he didn't have a specific idea.
"Well, you can arrange it as early as possible."
Hasta decided to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and leave these troublesome things to Butler Neil. In his words, this is the meaning of the butler's existence.
Looking at the pocket watch, it was almost seven o'clock.
Hasta took a short rest at home, then went out and got on the carriage to the Brave Bar.
He needs to discuss this matter with Maric and the others. Under normal circumstances, Maric would not refuse, but it is hard to guarantee that they do not want to take this risk.
When they arrived at the Brave Bar, Caspas came to meet Hasta before he went to find him.
With a serious face, he led Hasta to a secluded corner. When there was no one around, he whispered: "Because of the fight some time ago, Maric may be targeted and needs to hide for a while."
Hasta understood and smiled: "I have a big manor in the suburbs. If he is willing, he can come there as a guest."
"It's really a good place."
Caspas whispered, his expression was much more relaxed, and he did not talk to Hasta anymore. He pretended that he just happened to meet and turned around and left here.
Hasta waited for a while before leaving here and returned to the Brave Bar to order a cocktail called Blue Jellyfish.
Fortunately, it was not called Blue Enchantress, otherwise it would be really hard to swallow.
Hasta sat at the bar and ordered another snack, which he slowly tasted with the cocktail.
Half an hour later, Hastur left the Brave Bar in a carriage.
When he got home, he went straight to the study.
In order to deal with Miss Sharon's mysterious visit, he deliberately placed a mirror on the right side of the study. In front of the mirror, he also placed a sofa, which was conducive to the conversation between the two parties.
I believe Miss Sharon will understand what he means and will not wait until he is about to take a shower to enter the mirror in the bathroom.
Before Miss Sharon came, Hastur sat at the desk and flipped through books.
Although he has passed the need to play a lawyer now, learning the law will still help him in his future sequence promotion.
It was almost eleven o'clock before Miss Sharon's figure appeared in the mirror in the study.
She was still wearing the familiar Gothic court style long skirt, and the small black hat embellished on her blonde hair looked very cute.
"Sharon, this is my name."
The voice was very faint, without ups and downs, but Hastur liked such a voice very much. He hated the noisy and chattering voice.
"Hasta Campbell, I'm glad to meet Miss Sharon."
Hasta got up and sat on the sofa, looking at Miss Sharon in the mirror, and also made a brief introduction.
"Maric does need to hide for a while, the suburban manor is very good."
"I'm not sure how long it will take to tidy up the manor, so I can't give you an exact time."
"Maric can wait for you near the manor first."
Hasta nodded, gave a manor address, and asked: "Will Miss Sharon go there too?"
"Not necessarily."
"Isn't it too dangerous to stay here alone?"
"No, they can't find me."
Miss Sharon is really confident in her own strength.
It should be that the demigods who are chasing them don't dare to get close to Backlund. It is indeed very difficult for the extraordinary people below the demigod to find a resentful soul extraordinary person in the big city of Backlund.
Hasta chatted with Miss Sharon for a few more words, and found that there was no more time to chat.
Miss Sharon's personality is not a person who will take the initiative to chat. Even if she answers, she tries to be brief and restrained.
Generally, she will not take the initiative to bring up topics.
"Miss Sharon seems to like this style of clothes?" Hasta tried to find a topic.
"Yes, I like it."
"Have you ever considered changing your style of dress?"
Sharon just stared at Hasta without answering. From her eyes, Hasta could read that she was still a little interested in this matter.
"Miss Sharon, please wait a moment."
Hasta left the sofa, walked to the desk, took out a pen and paper, and began to paint.
He drew a simple picture of Lolita clothing. The design of this kind of clothing is not much different from the Gothic court dress that Sharon likes.
The main difference is that their styles are somewhat different. Miss Sharon likes Gothic court dresses with black as the main color, which highlights an elegant mystery with a terrifying death element, which is very consistent with the field of mysticism.
The simple picture drawn by Hasta is mainly blue and white, with lace and floral fabrics. It is a classic and elegant style without losing its innocence and cuteness.
Because of the ink limitation, Hasta deliberately marked the corresponding color next to it so that Miss Sharon can see it more clearly.
After finishing writing, Hastur looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction and imagined the scene of Miss Sharon wearing this blue and white Lolita costume with a base tone.
Miss Sharon should look very cute like that, right?
"..."
Sharon looked at the sketch of the Lolita costume, but didn't speak for a long time, and finally disappeared under Hasta's surprised eyes.
"Can't you accept a style that's too cute?"
Hasta regretted putting away this simple picture. He had not used the pink color yet. If it were paired with cakes, candies, and small animals, the cuteness would definitely be off the charts.
Ahem, he felt that he didn't have any bad habits, but looking at Miss Sharon's exquisite doll-like appearance, he wanted to design several different styles of clothing for her.
"Maybe my painting was too ugly, which made Miss Sharon disgusted."
Hasta considers himself to be an average painter and not a professional.
Late at night, Hastur came to the Hall of Stars, skipping the star where the Djinn was, and staring at the star where the Mother Tree of Desire was.
I really want to crack a whip to test it, otherwise I will feel a little uneasy if I have to drag Him into the palace of stars in the future.
Well, just a whip.
It is better than dragging Him to the Palace of Stars and then guarding against Him.
There were definitely risks, but he couldn't always just have face-to-face meetings with the djinn.
Before that, Hastur first changed his form and appeared as the ruler of the Hall of Stars.
Then with a thought in his mind, he drove a chain of order to reach outside the star where the Mother Tree of Desire was. The chain curved and was drawn down like thunder.
The starlight shattered, and the chain of order picked up a fruit with a human face. The fruit with a human face shook in fright, and the sound of a baby crying could be heard.
The crying sound also woke up other nearby Face Fruits, and the babbling baby crying quickly gathered like a sea and resounded throughout the sky!
At the same time, Hastur hurriedly let the chain of order turn into starlight and disperse, and at the same time retracted his gaze from the star.
He was sure that if he had been in the same time and space as the Mother Tree of Desire just now, he would have been polluted by the sea-like cry of a baby! Devoured!
At that last moment, he could sense that the Mother Tree of Desire was awakening, and His eyes were about to peep at it.
After waiting for a while, there was no movement at all except for the black light surrounding the star where the Mother Tree of Desire was located.
Hastur turned his gaze to the star again.
The Mother Tree of Desire was indeed watching here, and even stretched out a branch and struck twice at the location where the Chain of Order disappeared.
But no matter how hard he tried, his power could not pass through the starry sky and reach the palace of stars.
This scene surprised and puzzled Hastur.
In what way does the Palace of Stars connect the time and space between the two places?
Why can he drive the Chain of Order to the location of the Mother Tree of Desire, but he cannot follow the Chain of Order to find the Palace of Stars?
Could it be that the Palace of Stars is not a real place?
So whether it is the Djinn God or the Mother Tree of Desire, they cannot find it and cannot let their power affect this place?
Existing entirely in an imaginary place?
Hastur scanned the Hall of Stars and felt that everything here did not seem to be completely fictitious. It might be that his current rank was too low to understand the secrets of the Hall of Stars.
Maybe there is another possibility.
The Palace of Stars does exist, but it is not outside the starry sky, but within the barrier left by the original Creator!
That's why the Mother Tree of Desire cannot directly affect this place through the barrier.
What about the djinn?
What is his reason?
Could it be that He is too weak now?
Sealed in the Wishing Magic Lamp by the Lord of Mysteries, relying on his high rank and the Wishing Magic Lamp, his defense power is indeed very powerful, and even the true god cannot split him open.
But the power he can display is already very weak, and he cannot pass through the starry sky and reach the palace of stars.
If He was really powerful, it would have been impossible for him to remain in Bernadette's hands, and he would have already polluted Bernadette and returned to the starry sky.
If you can't even deal with a Sequence 3, then it's normal that you can't deal with the Hall of Stars.
Hastur thought carefully, but felt that it was not that simple.
The origin of the Hall of Stars may be more mysterious than he thought.
The nine major sources of earth: Sea of Chaos, Source Castle, Mother's Nest, River of Eternal Darkness, City of Disaster, Kingdom of Disorder, World of Shadows, Wilderness of Knowledge, and Key of Light.
There is no source of matter here that corresponds to the authority and ability displayed in the Palace of Stars.
At first, Hastur thought that the Palace of Stars might be part of the source of the Kingdom of Disorder, but when the Djinn was unable to intervene in the Palace of Stars, he rejected this speculation.
The Kingdom of Disorder originally belonged to the Djinn God. If the Djinn God came here, he would definitely react, and even directly take away the Kingdom of Disorder and break through the seal.
"The power of the stars..."
Hastur remembered what the djinn said again.
Order and rules are only part of the palace of stars, and the stars are the masters here.
