Chapter 199 Susie: I feel Mr. Hasta is dangerous
For about ten minutes, Hastur has been waiting for Azshara's reaction, but it didn't react at all. It waggled its little tail, snuggled up to his feet, and meowed softly, as if calling him to hug him quickly. it.
Hastur stretched out his hand to caress Azshara's head, and then took a serious look at its eyes. There was indeed nothing special about it.
Could it be that he drank a fake magic potion?
Hastur glanced at the glassware on the ground that had been licked dry.
"Meow."
Seeing that Hastur didn't pay much attention to her, Azshara jumped into Hastur's arms, curled up into a small ball, closed her eyelids and fell asleep.
"Maybe it just doesn't know how to express its feelings at the moment."
"It could also be that the Assassin's Potion is naturally suited to it, allowing it to quickly adapt to this feeling."
"Susie didn't seem to have any special reaction when she accidentally swallowed the audience potion. It was several days later that Audrey discovered something was wrong with it."
Hastur thought a lot, looked down at Azshara who was curled up in his arms, tidied up the things in the room, and then opened the door and went out.
…
The next day, after Hastur woke up, he immediately went to check on Azshara's condition.
I saw it squatting by the window, its pair of blue eyes staring at the pedestrians passing below, licking its little paws from time to time.
Was this the birth of a strong desire to hunt?
Hastur did not interrupt, but chose to observe quietly.
At this moment, Azshara seems to have a little more soul than before.
He felt that this was his illusion, giving Azshara too much imagination at this moment.
Digesting potions is a long process. Azshara is just a simple kitten. It does not have the complex and summarizing wisdom of humans. It mostly relies on its own nature.
"Meow!"
Azshara, who was squatting by the window, found that Hastur had woken up, took two small steps with graceful steps, and then jumped directly over.
This distance is about two meters.
Although Azshara should be able to do it in normal times, it would not be as easy as now.
This should be the physical transformation given to it by the assassin's potion, making its limbs more powerful and dexterous.
"Are you hungry?"
"Meow!"
Hastur understood this call, it was really hungry.
He got up with Azshara in his arms, walked out of the room, handed it to the maid responsible for taking care of it, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After finishing his work, Hastur carried Azshara, who was already full, downstairs.
After dinner, Hastur asked housekeeper Neal if there were any mice in the house.
Butler Neal was embarrassed and said that there had been traces of rats in the kitchen recently. Although he had ordered the servants to take corresponding rodent control actions, rats still appeared occasionally.
This is not a problem that their family can solve, it is a problem for Backlund as a whole.
Although the sewer pipes have solved Backlund's problem of water accumulation on rainy days, they have also become a natural home suitable for rats to inhabit and breed.
Therefore, a special profession was born, that of rat catcher.
They were commissioned to capture rats at their employer's house.
Occasionally, officials will organize personnel to inspect and clean sewer pipes and other places where dirt and evil are hiding.
It is said that this is one of the measures actively promoted by Emperor Russell, saying that this can effectively reduce the occurrence of plague.
The plague has become a common understanding among many people.
In response, Hastur said that Azshara could try it.
Butler Neil quickly refused, saying that the rats that emerged from the sewers were too dirty. Azshara ate cat food specially provided by humans every day. If she accidentally ate rats, serious problems might occur.
Hastur thought the same thing. Someone must have put a lot of rat poison around here. If the poisonous rats were accidentally eaten by Azshara, it would be very dangerous.
It would be better to wait a few more days until Azshara learns not to eat rats and only concentrates on hunting.
Before leaving, Hastur left Azshara at home and asked the maid to take care of it, before taking a carriage to Gray Lint's house.
Because Gray Lint was a beast tamer, Hastur didn't want Azshara to run into him at this moment to avoid a stress reaction.
When they arrived at Gray Lint's house, Gray Lint happily took Hastur to the back garden, saying that he wanted to show him the results of his recent training.
The beagle, under the command of Gray Lint, performed very well in how to pounce on prey and find traces of prey.
The only pity is that this place is not in a forest after all, so the training effect will be greatly reduced.
Gray Lint said that he needed to go to the forest for training in order to further train the beagle.
"This is a very good suggestion. Let's go to the suburbs this Saturday." Hastur proposed.
"No problem, my Hauge has been looking forward to this day for a long time."
Haug is the name of the golden retriever dog raised by Gray Lint.
"What do you think about inviting Miss Audrey?"
"Of course. It's just time for my Hauge to compete with Susie to see who is smarter."
Gray Linte touched the head of the golden retriever Haug, looking very confident.
Hastur glanced at him with a look of imperceptible pity.
If I remember correctly, Susie should already be a Sequence 8 mind reader, right?
This golden retriever trained by Gray Lint would definitely not be Susie's opponent if compared to him.
Thinking of this, Hasta smiled and told Greylint to try to do some fancy things, such as walking upright with a plate in his mouth, walking on wheels, jumping over a ring of fire, etc.
He was looking forward to how Susie would fight at that time.
Before leaving Greylint's house, Hasta had agreed with Greylint that he would be responsible for inviting Audrey.
This time, Hasta planned to invite Earl Hall as well.
Since the last time he went to Earl Hall's house for a meeting, he has never contacted Earl Hall and Audrey again. This time is a good opportunity.
If he can take this opportunity to bribe Earl Hall, then his briber potion will be almost digested.
The briber sequence does not have many secrets for Hasta, and it is relatively easy to play.
As for the promotion to Sequence 6 Corrupted Baron, there is already a clue. He just needs to wait for Earl Gil to die and then go to fight with the Steam Church.
Calculating the time, it is almost time.
...
At night, Hasta's invitation was delivered to Earl Hall's house.
The invitation specifically mentioned Audrey. Although Earl Hall knew about this, he did not stop it.
Inside the room, Audrey read the invitation and then looked at Susie who was lying in the corner.
"Susie, Mr. Hasta invited us to visit the manor in the suburbs, and you are also invited."
Susie said without raising her head: "I am not happy about this. On the contrary, I have always been a little afraid of Mr. Hasta."
"Why? Mr. Hasta is a very good person."
"I didn't say there was anything wrong with him. I just thought he was very dangerous."
Audrey thought for a while and said: "Compared with Mr. Hasta and Glint, who is more dangerous?"
"Glint."
After Audrey's teaching, Susie now remembers a lot of people.
"Grelint is also invited to this trip to the suburban manor. He also said that he wants to train a golden retriever that is smarter than you."
"Audrey, can I refuse?"
"No."
Audrey's mouth curved up. The invitation mentioned that the golden retriever Hogg trained by Grellint had many outstanding little skills, just like the performance of an acrobatic troupe.
It was just the right opportunity to take Susie's attention away from the book for a short time so that she would not learn too much knowledge.
After chatting with Susie for a few words, Audrey got up and walked out of the room to the room where Earl Hall was.
The invitation did invite her to play in the suburban manor, but it also mentioned the invitation of Earl Hall.
In Audrey's opinion, this was the last time Mr. Hasta was frightened by the respected Earl Hall, so he chose to communicate with Earl Hall through her.
When Audrey explained her purpose, Earl Hall was quite surprised and said, "He wants to invite me to hunt in the suburban forest?"
"Yes, Baron Campbell also said that he has recently trained a good hound. Although it is still relatively young, it is already a good hunter."
"I may not have time this Saturday."
"Then I will help the busy Earl Hall to reject Baron Campbell's invitation."
"Forget it, I haven't gone out hunting for a long time. Some things can be done next week."
Audrey blinked and smiled, "Are you worried about your lovely daughter being alone in the suburbs?"
"I do have this concern, even though you have grown up."
"Then I'll trouble the respected Earl Hall to keep busy and worry."
Finally, Audrey left with a smile.
On the way back to the room, she met Hibbert. After asking, when she learned that she was not invited on the invitation, Hibbert immediately said that he and Greg were going to visit the suburban manor this Saturday.
Such a temporary reason could not be hidden from an audience at all.
But Audrey did not expose him. She returned to her room and started writing a reply.
This was the first time she wrote a serious reply to Mr. Hasta, so she needed to think carefully.
