Chapter 179: Use magic to defeat magic

After a period of silence and oppression, Earl Hall finally spoke: "Why do you think I invited you to my house tonight?"

Hey, it turned out to be this question.

Hasta was a little surprised. He thought Earl Hall was about to become a domineering father who loved his daughter.

It seems that Earl Hall is indeed a very graceful nobleman, and even his questions are indirect.

Hasta thought for a while and said: "Because I am too close to Miss Audrey, I deliberately invited me to my house. One is to see what kind of person I am, and the other is to make me face reality and reduce my contact with Miss Audrey."

Before Earl Hall said anything, Hasta smiled and changed the subject: "If it was an ordinary noble, he would think so."

"But the person standing in front of me is Earl Hall, a powerful noble in front of the king. His mind and demeanor are not comparable to ordinary nobles."

"Just as I believe in Miss Audrey, Earl Hall also believes in his daughter."

Earl Hall's expression did not change, and he said lightly: "This is What do you mean?"

"You will not interfere with Miss Audrey's choice of friends, nor will you invite me to your home for such a boring idea."

"Under your guidance, Miss Audrey is elegant, confident, and intelligent. You believe in her perspective on people, and you will only choose to respect the friends she makes, and will not do anything extra to influence or interfere with Miss Audrey's choice."

"You are a wise man who has experienced the world, and you also believe in Miss Audrey's wisdom in dealing with things. She has begun to grow up, and you will only give her the freedom to choose, and will not always restrict her growth."

Hasta's sincerity and a little flattering words made Earl Hall, who has always been expressionless, have a glimmer in his eyes.

Hasta's words were not purely to please Earl Hall, but out of his understanding of him, combined with his attitude tonight, to make a judgment.

He believes that Earl Hall is different from Greg and Hibbert. Earl Hall is not a simple and superficial person, and such a person cannot be deeply trusted by the king.

Reality is not a TV series, and Earl Hall is not the kind of person who can be simply summarized by an adjective.

He is a wise elder, even though his belly has grown a little.

Earl Hall looked at Hasta, and then slowly said: "I am very satisfied with your answer."

"It is because of my understanding of you that I can make such a judgment."

"Oh, you know me well?"

"I just know that no one in your position is stupid. Your ideas are different from those of Greg and Hibbert. They will only see that I am very close to Miss Audrey, and then they will make some misunderstandings without authorization."

Hasta said, and gave Hibbert behind Earl Hall an apologetic look.

There is no way, this is indeed his true thought, and in order to please Earl Hall in front of him, he can only let Hibbert down first, believing that he will understand his difficulties.

Earl Hall smiled a little, "Hibbert really likes to make decisions on his own. He seems to simply think that I invited you to my house tonight because of the matter between you and Audrey."

"As a father, I certainly don't like my daughter to make friends with people with ulterior motives, but I believe in Audrey's vision and judgment. She has grown up and is fully capable of making choices about her own affairs. For a father, this is something to be proud of."

"I invited you tonight to meet the young generation of nobles in the Kingdom of Loen, and secondly, I want to see how outstanding the son of Voltaire is."

Ah?

Hasta was really stunned. Is Earl Hall on good terms with Voltaire Campbell?

In his impression, there doesn't seem to be a beautiful picture of the two of them getting along harmoniously.

Count Hall saw Hasta's doubts and said with emotion: "Voltaire was indeed a very good young man when he was young, and he was worthy of praise in many aspects.

Unfortunately, after he got married and had his own children, he seemed to have changed.

He is different from me. After I had my own children, I started to work hard in order to give my children a better future."

Through Count Hall's narration, Hasta could imagine the story of the two of them when they were young.

When Voltaire had not married and had children, his brilliance should have been very dazzling, while Count Hall seemed more ordinary.

Later, Voltaire began to change his temperament because he had a child, and Count Hall began to work hard because he had his own child.

One has died by the Tussock River, and the other has become a powerful noble in the Kingdom of Loen.

If I had such a friend when I was young, when I am old, I will also tell the story of their youth in a tone full of emotion like Count Hall.

Hibbert, standing behind Count Hall, also had a satisfied look on his face.

He didn't know that his father had such a past with Voltaire when they were young.

But if you think about it carefully, it's easy to understand. Voltaire was also a hereditary earl, which happened to be the same status as their Hall family.

People of the same class will naturally play together.

Just like himself with Hasta and Greg now.

History has come full circle and returned again.

"I hope you can keep your original intention in the future and don't do anything disappointing." Earl Hall kindly reminded.

"I will take this as a lesson. People from the Campbell family will never fall in the same place twice."

Hasta made his own promise.

"The House of Lords will hold a new round of elections after the new year. I will strongly recommend you to become a member of the House of Lords."

Earl Hall suddenly said something shocking, and even Hibbert behind him was shocked.

Why did he suddenly make such a promise?

Hasta was also shocked by this sentence. He hadn't successfully bribed Earl Hall yet. How could Earl Hall say such a thing?

Earl Hall glanced at him and continued, "You are a student of Professor Wayne, who has profound legal attainments. You will hone your skills in the House of Lords for two years. With your legal experience, you will be able to become a senior judge of the House of Lords."

"As for the title, the baron is a bit too low. You can buy enough land. When the new round of old and new nobles take over, with the help of Duke Negan and me, you can easily be promoted to the title."

"If you can impress the king, it will not be difficult to directly restore the status of the hereditary earl of your Campbell family."

With just a few simple words, Earl Hall seemed to have paved the way for Hastur's future aristocracy.

"..."

Hasta didn't know what to say for a while.

According to normal reason, even if Earl Hall didn't specifically target him, he wouldn't help him like this, right?

Is it for Voltaire's sake?

But this doesn't seem to make sense!

After pondering for a moment, Hasta asked, "Why are you willing to help me like this?"

"You said before that I believe in my daughter's vision. Since she is optimistic about you and comes to me for help, I will naturally meet her small request."

Earl Hall's tone was very flat, as if becoming a member of the House of Lords, a high judge, and being promoted to a noble title was an easy thing.

It turned out that Miss Audrey helped him to intercede and seek the support of Earl Hall.

Hasta's doubts were slightly resolved, but soon he felt that this sounded a little wrong.

Did Earl Hall say this to make him accept Audrey's favor?

"Emperor Roselle said this: politics is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly affairs."

"..."

Hasta's mouth twitched slightly. It was another classic quote from Roselle. Why is this guy so present?

"Thank you for your kindness. Can I go back and think about it seriously?"

Hasta thought about it and decided to delay the time first, so that he would have enough time to review the matter and guess Earl Hall's true intention.

Otherwise, it would be hard for him to accept such kindness.

"Go back and think about it?"

Earl Hall's originally gentle tone suddenly became a little more indifferent, "Baron Hasta Campbell, are you going to reject my kindness?"

"Emperor Roselle once said: There is no free bread in the world."

Hasta decided to defeat magic with magic, and said calmly: "I don't think I can bear this heavy kindness now."

"You came to my house as a guest tonight, isn't it just to seek my help?"

"Yes, but your help is too direct, so I dare not accept it easily."

Hasta told the truth that he did want to seek help from Earl Hall, but he didn't want to owe a huge favor for it.

And this kind of arranged road always makes people feel unhappy from the bottom of their hearts.

The help he wanted was not so direct, he just hoped that Earl Hall would not deliberately block his promotion channel at a critical moment in the future.

In short, he hoped that the helping relationship he established with Earl Hall would be based on interests, not favors.

Count Hall saw through Hasta's thoughts and sneered: "Naive, do you think everything can go in the direction you want?

In the face of the interests of the nobles, human feelings are just tools to be used.

It seems that you have not learned the essence of how to be a qualified noble."

"An unqualified naive noble, huh, go back."

Count Hall did not give Hasta a chance to speak again, and directly and mercilessly ordered him to leave.
