Chapter 79 Hastur: I don’t like to live off others.
Curse King Balanca!
Sharon's heart sank, her face was solemn. She knew that this Curse King Balanca was one of the leaders of the Rose School with her teacher.
He is an angel of the Indulgence School!
Sequence 2 Ancient Evil!
It was He and that evil god who joined forces to overthrow the Rose School, and even her teacher died in that catastrophe.
An angel came to Backlund secretly!
No wonder Hastur kept reminding herself to be careful and stay in a safe place as much as possible.
At the same time, she also understood that the target of the Rose School coming to Backlund this time was definitely not her people.
This is what he said, 'When the city gate is on fire, the fish in the pond will be affected'.
"Don't worry, their target is not you. You just need to be careful to hide. If you can't do it, run to the Church of the Goddess of Night for help. I believe they dare not be too presumptuous, especially the Curse King."
Bernadette told Sharon to relax and not to be too nervous.
"Do you know why they came to Backlund?"
"Some time ago, they held a God's Descent Ceremony in West Balam, which was destroyed by the Storm Church, the Eternal Blazing Sun Church, and the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom. Now they come to Backlund to find trouble with the Storm Church."
Sharon thought for a moment and shook her head: "I know them. They will not come to Backlund for a simple reason such as revenge. There must be something more important."
"Maybe they are also looking for believers of the stars." Bernadette sighed.
"Believers of the stars?"
Sharon looked at Bernadette in confusion. The cute look with a little doubt and curiosity made Bernadette reach out her sinful hand again, but Sharon dodged it one step ahead.
Bernadette waved her hand and said: "You don't need to know too much. It's very dangerous. If you hear relevant information in the future, don't try to find out the truth. Just send me a message to inform me."
"You came to Backlund for this matter?"
"There are some factors, but more of the reason is to come to Backlund to relax."
Thinking of what happened some time ago, Bernadette sighed again.
Fortunately, the lamp god has been much quieter recently, and the master of the stars rarely comes to disturb her in the middle of the night, which makes her feel much more relaxed.
"After these people from the Rose School leave, little Sharon, you have to accompany me to visit Backlund."
Bernadette smiled and invited, but Sharon refused expressionlessly: "I still have a lot of things to do, and I don't have the time."
"Don't I know you? In addition to being an exquisite doll every day, I like to listen to stories."
Bernadette joked: "The weather is good tonight, and I have a lot of fairy tales here. Do you want to stay and listen for a while?"
"No, I don't have time."
Sharon refused directly and prepared to leave here.
Bernadette shouted, "I have a few suitable dresses here, do you want to try them on?"
"..."
Sharon's pace of leaving has accelerated a lot.
"Little Sharon is not as cute as before."
Bernadette sighed, and stretched out her hand to disperse the fairy tale world around her, and a pea vine escorted Sharon away from here.
After Sharon left, the gentle expression on Bernadette's face was restrained, and a layer of light frost appeared.
She did not tell Sharon that the people from the Rose School were most likely coming for her this time.
Just this afternoon, the first mate who stayed on the Dawn sent a message saying that the people from the Rose School were searching everywhere for the whereabouts of the Dawn and the crew, and their methods were extremely cruel.
Considering that the Rose School had angels sneaking into Backlund, it was probably targeting her.
It was normal for the Rose School to target her. She was just curious. Was the God's Descent Ceremony in West Balam really that important?
Otherwise, why would the Rose School take the attitude of targeting her at all costs?
She thought of the temperance card that the lamp god mentioned. It was definitely a trap. Even the lamp god advised her not to go there to avoid being tricked.
In what way was she valued by the Mother Tree of Desire?
How could it make Him target her like this?
Did the lamp god hide something?
Did the lamp god reach a deal with the Mother Tree of Desire again when he attended the last star gathering?
Bernadette thought seriously and felt that the wishing lamp was a time bomb that might explode at any time.
Handing it over to the Seven Gods Church is the best choice, but she is currently the owner of the Wishing Lamp.
Once the Wishing Lamp falls into the hands of the Seven Gods Church, they only need to make a wish and she will be doomed.
This is also the reason why she has only threatened the Lamp God but never really took action.
Compared with the Lamp God, the angel of the Rose School seems to have no threat.
Not to mention that this is Backlund, even if it is outside, the angel may not be able to defeat her.
It is better to stay in Backlund for a while. Even if the evil god really comes, he is in Backlund.
...
The next day.
After breakfast, Hastur took a small box with 5,800 gold pounds and took a carriage to the Bavart Bank.
He deposited 800 gold pounds smoothly, and looked at the 1,000 gold pounds on the account with a satisfied smile.
At noon, he met Greg at the Backlund Bank and handed the small box filled with 5,000 gold pounds to Greg.
Greck asked his men to put away the gold pounds, and said with a smile: "You have collected this money so quickly, it seems that your financial situation has improved a lot recently."
"Two days ago, the income for the first half of the year was delivered, so I have this spare money."
"Haha, when do you plan to treat me?"
"When I move to my new home."
Hasta said that he was going to move to Queens recently.
"No. 3 King's Avenue, I remember your original address was on No. 1 Street?"
"Well, the house there is not something you can get by helping the police solve a case once."
"The title deed of that mansion should be in the hands of Earl Hall."
"???"
Hasta was slightly stunned. A noble like Earl Hall would gamble with Voltaire?
Aren't you afraid of affecting your reputation?
Greg saw Hasta's thoughts and explained with a smile: "Earl Hall bought the mansion from other nobles and let it appreciate in value. This is just a normal investment."
Hasta was relieved and asked curiously: "How many gold pounds does that house cost?"
Greg stretched out a finger, "100,000 gold pounds to start."
"..."
Hasta didn't think of buying back the ancestral house at once.
That's 100,000 gold pounds. He didn't know how long it would take to save up so much money.
Unless he went out to burn, kill and rob, it would be difficult to earn this money by his own efforts.
"Don't be so anxious, you are still young."
Greck thought for a moment and lowered his voice and said, "If you can marry Miss Audrey, I think Earl Hall won't mind giving you that mansion as a gift."
"..."
Hasta coughed lightly and said, "Greck, you know, I don't like to eat gigolos."
"Hasta, Miss Audrey is the most dazzling pearl in our Backlund, are you really not tempted?"
"..."
Hasta didn't want to continue discussing this issue with Greck, and turned to talk about his plan to open a law firm in Hillston District.
Greck was very generous about this matter, saying that he had already helped him find a law firm in Hillston District, and he only needed a lawyer to be in place, and he could open it immediately.
Tsk, it's really good to have a rich and powerful friend.
Hastur looked at the time and invited, "It's getting late, let's go out for lunch together."
"I don't want to eat you out of money all at once."
"Yeah, that makes sense, I'll go to lunch alone then."
"...You'll lose me as a friend this way."
"A friend who loses because of this is not a real friend."
Greck laughed and asked Hastur to lead the way, preparing to have a good meal.
...
After lunch, Hastur went to Backlund University and borrowed two language books from the library.
One was in ancient Hermetic language, and the other was in Giant language, both of which were works that some old professors at Backlund University had put their heart and soul into.
Looking at the time, it was still some time before Lecturer Foren finished his get out of class, so Hastur stayed in the library and read quietly.
It was close to five o'clock in the afternoon when Lecturer Foren finished his class.
The two went to the restaurant together. When Hastur mentioned that he was going to open a new law firm in Hillston District, Lecturer Foren's eyes were full of envy.
When he just graduated from Backlund University, he also wanted to open a law firm in Hillston District, the most prosperous commercial district in Backlund.
But the cost is too high, and money alone is not enough, you also need connections. The court will not allow an ordinary lawyer to open a law firm in such a place.
Hasta spread his hands and said, "There is no way. My friend is very good at money."
Lecturer Follen came closer and said, "Aren't we two friends?"
"Well, I think you overestimate my financial situation."
If you really count the current available funds, Lecturer Follen is definitely richer than him.
Lecturer Follen has multiple positions. He is a lecturer at Backlund University, opened his own law firm, and is listed in two other law firms. He is the legal advisor of at least five companies.
Even if his annual income is not 10,000 gold pounds, it must be 5,000 gold pounds or more.
The two talked for a while, and finally Lecturer Follen said that he could find two suitable lawyers for the newly opened law firm. With him and Hasta, there will be four lawyers.
Enough to get through the early stages of the law firm.
Tsk, this is the power of connections.
