Chapter 133: Spiritual state, action rehearsal
Just when Hasta was thinking whether to pay the gold pound or find a reason to refuse, Bernadette directly gave the Sequence 6 Corrupted Baron potion formula for free.
"As a fellow apostle of the stars, this is my investment in you."
In response, Hasta generously said that Huang Da's niece is sometimes quite cute.
He put away the potion formula and sent Bernadette away, owing a favor of some size.
It was still a bit of a loss.
Hasta slowly enjoyed the delicious food, then went to pay the bill and left.
He did not take the carriage home immediately, but wandered around here again to understand the terrain here, so that it would be convenient for retreat at that time.
After he finished a long round and made a general route in his mind, it was already past three in the afternoon.
He found a restaurant to enjoy a cup of afternoon tea, and then turned to the law firm for a walk, and then ended the whole day's itinerary.
The harvest was naturally great. He got a Sequence 6 Corrupted Baron formula for free. Although he did not need it, it was at least a little thought from the younger generation, so he accepted it.
Hastur sat at the desk, took out a pen and paper, and began to draw a simple topographic map on the blank, and marked the route of action.
After confirming that there were no omissions, he burned the paper and began to think about how he should get the Black Emperor card.
First of all, he certainly couldn't go there in person, and had to act in the form of a spirit.
In this way, no matter what situation he encountered, he had a trump card to return to the Hall of Stars, which could ensure that he would not be caught.
Secondly, he had to hide from the extraordinary people guarding the Roselle Memorial Exhibition and sneak in secretly.
Klein used the method of feinting to the east and attacking in the west, using the method of setting fire to the house to attract attention.
He might be able to prevent those extraordinary people from discovering him through the corresponding rules, and with the help of the secret authority, it would be very feasible.
If he could distort the vision of the extraordinary people so that they could not see him.
Maybe he could even walk past them in a swagger.
Then, it was the critical moment to steal the Black Emperor card.
Once he took the bookmark, it would definitely trigger the defense measures there and attract the attention of the extraordinary people.
He was not sure whether he could prevent the defense measures from being activated by formulating corresponding rules.
If the defense measures could be prevented from taking effect, he estimated that no one would find out from the time he got the Black Emperor Card to the time he left the Roselle Memorial Exhibition.
Hasta thought about it again and took out his two extraordinary items.
One was a bell that could enhance the effect of the rules, and the other was the war emblem.
He had asked Sharon to help find someone to identify it, and he already knew its use.
There were three main extraordinary effects:
First, a set of war armor could be formed all over the body, with good frontal defense.
Second, a two-handed sword could be materialized, which was extremely powerful.
Third, a blood-red vortex could be formed around him, similar to the war field. Once touched, it could deprive the blood and vitality of living beings.
According to Sharon's estimation, if this seal falls into the hands of someone who is good at fighting, it can exert the power of a level 1 seal.
Powerful seals are naturally accompanied by frightening negative effects.
There are two main points to note:
① Once worn for more than ten minutes, it will continue to absorb the wearer's blood. If it is not taken off quickly, it will gradually drain the wearer's blood.
② The overly strong battlefield killing atmosphere will affect a person's sanity. Once used for a long time, the wearer's sanity will gradually be eroded, and finally become a monster that only knows how to kill.
In general, this is a very powerful extraordinary item, very suitable for fighting.
It's just that it doesn't match him. As a noble, he rarely takes risks, let alone fight with others.
Even Sharon felt that this war emblem was a bit of a pearl in his hand.
"Let's practice the spirit state first."
Hasta put away his thoughts, closed the door of the study, and closed the windows.
Then he closed his eyes and concentrated for a while, and then tried to let the spirit leave the body.
The feeling of lightness, as if flying away, enveloped his whole body.
Hasta floated to the desk, wrapped the war emblem, and suddenly felt hot all over, as if there was a flame spreading.
The originally light feeling also became heavy, as if wearing a suit of armor.
Hastur tried to turn around the study a few times, and also tried to merge into the ceiling and penetrate directly into the room on the third floor.
No one lives here, and there is no debris piled up, it seems very empty.
Hastur flew out of the door of this room on the third floor, and flew back and forth at high speed around the corridor on the third floor to feel the speed of the spirit.
When he was about to pass the house where the golden box was hidden, he hurriedly stopped again, always feeling that it was better not to get close to the spirit state.
Hastur turned around and returned to the room where he started, and returned to the study on the second floor along the floor, and saw his physical body.
The spirit flew over, threw down the war emblem, and then merged into the physical body.
There was a slight burning cold, it should be that the effect of the war emblem has not completely faded.
The spiritual power consumption was not much, and after a little rest, it soon returned to normal.
There was no problem with the manipulation of the spirit. The problem now was how to test whether the rules he had formulated and the secret authority could be concealed from the detection of those extraordinary people.
There are only ordinary people like Butler Neil and others in the house, so there is no use hiding it from them.
"It seems we still need help from Maric or Sharon."
…
The next day, as Hastur was about to go out, Earl Richard from next door came to visit.
After a few words of greeting, Hastur invited him to sit down and prepared a cup of Marquis black tea for him.
Earl Richard looked slightly embarrassed and said: "I came to visit today mainly because I want to learn some occult knowledge about dreams."
It’s the so-called god in dreams again.
Earl Richard, are you not at all alarmed by this situation?
Hastur no longer wanted to complain about how outrageous Earl Richard was, if there were so-called spiritual manifestations disturbing him every night when he was sleeping.
He will definitely try his best to drive this so-called god out of his dream. He can't always let him dictate to him.
Hastur thought for a while and felt that he needed to exaggerate the danger a little so that Earl Richard would understand that the value of life lies in staying away from gods.
"Earl Richard, have you ever heard of the story of the devil in the dream?"
"No."
"I'll tell you if I have time."
Hastur laughed. He was making up this story casually. It would be a ghost if Earl Richard had heard of it.
"It is said that a long time ago, there was a man who often dreamed at night. In his dream, there was a kind and kind figure who patiently taught him how to deal with various things."
"With the help of that figure, the man's life became better and better. Not only did he make a lot of money, he also married a wife and gave birth to a precious son."
"Just when the man was grateful to that figure, fate began to demand the reward that needed to be paid."
"First, the man's wife died in childbirth while giving birth to her second child. Neither mother nor child could be saved, then his first son, and finally himself. The whole family died tragically one after another, and no one was spared."
"And that figure just left this man's dream, and then went to the next unlucky person chosen, and then a series of tragedies happened."
Hastur felt that he had made his words very clear. If Earl Richard was still so hopeless, he could only wish him good luck.
Earl Richard showed great interest in the demon in the dream, and seemed not to notice at all that his symptoms were very similar to those of the victim in this story.
In response, Hastur sighed and told him to eat well and drink well during the recent period, and then go on a good journey.
Earl Richard thought for a while and said: "You just said a long time ago, when did that happen?"
"..."
Hastur took a deep look at Earl Richard, and after confirming that he was not joking with him, he even stopped sighing.
The two chatted for an hour, and before leaving, Earl Richard warmly invited Hastur to go to his house for a party in a few days.
Regarding such an invitation, Hastur just smiled and said: "If you have time."
"Baron Campbell, I have always felt that we are destined to be together."
"I'm feeling it too."
After seeing off Earl Richard, Butler Neil came over, holding a luxurious-looking invitation in his hand.
"Lord Baron, Duke Negan will hold a grand ball at his mansion in Queens in five days."
Hastur sat on the sofa, took the invitation casually, and asked curiously: "Are there many nobles attending?"
"There are many. All the nobles with names are basically on the invitation list."
"That's right. It was really a grand event."
Hasta played with the invitation in his hand with a smile, already having a guess in his mind.
If there were no accidents, Qilingers should have assassinated Duke Negan at this ball. In the end, Miss Audrey's early vigilance exposed the assassination plan, which led to the failure of the assassination plan.
"It seems that before the ball comes, I need to meet Miss Audrey and discuss the matter of Qilingers together."
Hastur still felt that it would be better to complete this matter with Audrey.
If he told Greg unilaterally, it would easily arouse suspicion, so he would give this opportunity to Audrey.
She takes the bounty on the surface and takes Duke Negan’s invisible political resources for herself.
"After Audrey exposes Chillinges, I will tell Greco immediately. This way, I can achieve the situation I want."
Hastur thought for a moment and felt that this method was feasible.
Speaking of which, I would also like to thank this Qilingos for helping him improve his favorability.
Zillinges is such a good guy.
