Chapter 198 When you drink this bowl of assassin potion, you will no longer be an ordinary cat
Hasta was in a good mood today. He sat on the balcony on the second floor, drinking fruit cold drinks, petting his cat, and occasionally admiring the setting sun in the distance.
Since she rejected Madam Germani's invitation last time, she has never written to her again, nor has she visited her directly.
It seems that her admonition has worked.
Another thing worth being happy about is that Sharon and the others have found the extraordinary materials for the assassin's potion formula. He only needs to go to the Brave Bar tonight to trade.
Hasta lowered his head slightly and said seriously: "After tonight, you will no longer be an ordinary cat. You can't get involved in the lust of the world. If you are tempted, you will fall into the abyss and suffer unspeakably."
"Meow?"
Azshara opened her eyes wide and looked at Hasta in confusion, then raised her head and licked the palm of Hasta's hand.
"You will understand later."
"Meow."
Azshara turned over, changed her posture, and curled up in Hasta's arms.
Around eight o'clock in the evening, Hasta brought a certain amount of gold pounds, and also brought the final chapter of "The Adventures of Pinocchio" that Sharon had been looking forward to.
The Brave Bar was still lively, and Hasta's arrival quickly attracted Kaspars's attention. He led Hasta to where Maric was.
Tonight, Maric did not stay in the billiard room, but moved to a more secret place.
Hasta saw Maric and his zombies, but did not see Sharon, which made him a little disappointed.
He was going to bribe Sharon with the final chapter of "The Adventures of Pinocchio" tonight, build a link, and see if he could sense Sharon's emotional fluctuations.
"Are you alone tonight?"
"You seem to not want to see me?"
"Of course, I prefer to chat with Miss Sharon."
"..."
Maric was stunned for a moment, and did not expect Hasta to speak so directly.
Hastur found a seat and sat down. He glanced at Maric and said slowly, "Roselle once said: Smart people always like to chat with smart people, because they don't need to waste time arguing with stupid people."
"..."
Maric chuckled, "Hastur, you are getting more and more annoying now!"
"Alas, sometimes I wonder why I didn't become a hunter?"
"Hmph, you should become a witch first."
Maric said, and asked a zombie beside him to hand something to Hastur. It was the extraordinary material that Hastur entrusted them to find.
"A total of 100 gold pounds, no credit, cash transactions are required."
Maric spread out his right hand, signaling Hastur to pay quickly.
"Didn't we agree that it would only cost 80 gold pounds?"
"Oh, that was before. I'm in a bad mood now. It's not too much to take your 20 gold pounds for hard work, right?"
Hasta smiled, handed the 100 gold pound note to Maric, and then said, "Do you want to play cards again?"
"Do you want to win back the 20 gold pounds?"
"I just think my luck is pretty good tonight."
Maric naturally didn't refuse. The two agreed to gamble three times, two wins out of three games, and bet 20 gold pounds.
Unfortunately, the gamble didn't go to the third game, because Maric quickly lost twice in a row and returned the 20 gold pounds that hadn't been warmed up to Hasta.
"Roselle has another saying: No one can occupy wealth that doesn't belong to him."
"..."
Marichi's mouth moved slightly. He wanted to ask, did the great emperor Roselle really leave such a famous saying?
How come Roselle can get involved in any topic, and every time he says something that seems to make sense.
By the way, should I also buy a copy of "Roselle's Life Quotes" to see?
When chatting with others in the future, if you casually throw out a sentence that Russell once said... will it make your words suddenly become more weighty and meaningful?
The last time he passed by a bookstore, he glanced at it. Such a book "The Complete Collection of Russell's Life Quotes" was not expensive, priced at 3 soles and 6 pence.
Hasta ignored Maric's complicated mood. He just habitually attributed the sentence to Russell.
Anyway, only he knew whether Russell had said it or not, and he couldn't show up now, let alone refute himself in person.
After staying in this room for about half an hour, Sharon came silently.
"Sharon, if you don't come again, someone will be waiting anxiously." Maric said rather sarcastically.
"Maric, it seems that you have consciously classified yourself as a fool."
"..."
Maric didn't want to pay attention to Hasta. When it comes to this kind of ability to talk cannon, he is far from being a match for a quick-thinking lawyer.
Sharon's face did not show any specific emotions because of Maric's words. She just looked at Hasta and asked him to tell her if he had anything to say.
"I have been working day and night, and it took a lot of energy to finish the ending of the story."
"Give it to me."
"What a ruthless tone. Shouldn't you care about my health first?"
Hasta sighed and handed Sharon the final chapter of "The Adventures of Pinocchio".
"What story?"
Maric came over curiously, and Sharon disappeared. I don't know where I ran to the mirror and started to read the story of the final chapter of "The Adventures of Pinocchio".
Without a rule prohibiting invisibility, Hasta would not be able to find Sharon's hiding place, even if they were in the same room.
But after three or five minutes, Hasta could vaguely sense Sharon's breath. Following the vague sense, he looked into a small mirror two meters in front of the right.
Was this bribe successful?
Hasta was a little uncertain. This connection was too weak to basically sense Sharon's emotional fluctuations.
He closed his eyes and carefully sensed for a while before he could barely glimpse one or two points of Sharon's emotional fluctuations.
Happy, excited, sometimes a little annoyed, it seems that she is not very satisfied with the ending of the story, and then a little relieved, confused... and then angry!
Then, this weak connection was cut off, and Sharon also came out of the mirror, sitting opposite him, looking at him calmly.
Is she angry?
She should be angry.
Hasta glanced at Sharon with his peripheral vision. Although Sharon looked calm on the surface, as usual, the last emotion he sensed was anger.
Tsk, you are obviously angry, but you still pretend to be calm. So you are this kind of Sharon.
Before Hastur could be happy for too long, Sharon looked over.
This time, there was no need to establish a bribery connection. Hastur could clearly feel the chill in Sharon's eyes.
"It's getting late. I should go back. See you another day when I'm free."
Hastur wisely chose to leave. Sharon did not stop him. Maric felt a little pity. He had originally wanted to have a drink with Hastur.
...
As soon as Hastur returned to the hall of his home, Azshara ran down the stairs from the second floor, and the maid behind was chasing it.
"Azshara, you haven't rested yet. Well, sleep later today."
Hastur squatted down, smiled and picked up Azshara from the ground, and then went up to the second floor.
He asked the maids and others who were not related to the second floor to leave the second floor first, and then came to the room where various potion materials were placed.
Here are some materials for the recipes of the Black Emperor's potion, most of which are ordinary materials that can be bought on the market.
As for the expensive and too rare extraordinary materials, Hastur prepared another place to put them.
Hastur asked Azshara to stay where she was as much as possible, and he took out the extraordinary materials traded tonight and started to mix them with other ordinary materials.
During the mixing process, Hastur looked at Azshara many times. The things here can't be eaten casually, and Azshara is sometimes quite greedy.
Fortunately, Azshara tonight seems to be only interested in the potion that Hastur is mixing.
At first, it stayed where it was, but as the assassin potion was mixed, it couldn't hold back its curiosity, and walked to Hastur's feet with elegant steps, tilted its head, and stared at the vessel containing the assassin potion with a pair of dark blue eyes.
Perhaps it smelled something edible, it seemed a little impatient, but in the end it still lay down at Hastur's feet honestly, but its eyes kept staring at the assassin potion.
"It should be almost done."
Hasta finished mixing the assassin potion and carefully recalled the operation just now. After confirming that there was no omission or mistake, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He held the glass container with a round bottom like a bowl containing the assassin potion, squatted down, and gently stroked Azshara's little head with one hand.
"I want to remind you again, after drinking this bowl of assassin potion, you will no longer be an ordinary cat. You can't be tainted by the lust of the world. If you are tempted, the witch's curse of dying in love will be fulfilled on you, and you will be in great pain."
Hasta's expression was serious and his tone was serious. Even Azshara seemed to be infected by this atmosphere and meowed softly.
"Before drinking this bowl of assassin potion, do you have anything else to say?"
"Meow?"
Azshara raised her head and her little claws began to scratch Hasta's arm holding the assassin potion.
Hastur rubbed Azshara's head a few times, sighed and said: "Okay, since you have made a decision, I will not stop you anymore. You need to make your own way in the future."
After that, Hastur placed the assassin potion in front of Azshara, indicating that it was ready to drink.
Azshara's nose moved slightly, first sniffed, then observed for a while, and then slowly tasted tonight's midnight snack.
"Azshara, you are particularly lucky tonight."
Hasta blessed, and then stared at Azshara's reaction.
Azshara could only get through this level by herself, and he could only choose to watch.
According to his observation of Azshara during this period, its intelligence is not low, and it is not difficult for it to adapt to the assassin potion.
But caring too much will lead to confusion, and this sentence also applies to him.
After all, as long as it is not a 100% thing, accidents may occur.
