Chapter 201 Azshara's First Outing

Chapter 201 Azshara's First Outing

In Backlund at night, the scattered street lights could barely illuminate a small area near the street corner.

Places like Queens and the West End, where aristocrats and wealthy businessmen live, have bright lights, but in other areas, many people are reluctant to light up lights, and darkness is the theme song here.

West End, a place where light and darkness intertwine.

"Meow!"

"Snapped!"

In the dark alley, three stray cats were fighting for the food in the trash can and accidentally knocked over the trash can.

The food in the bucket rolled out, including some remaining slices of bread and ham. If you were lucky, you could also taste a few pieces of steak that had not been chewed cleanly.

Just as three stray cats were fighting for food, above the alley, on the roof of the house, a kitten with black hair and blue eyes calmly jumped between the roofs with elegant steps. .

When passing by here, it stopped and looked condescendingly at the three stray cats below who were fighting for food.

Like a queen, it is reviewing its citizens.

"Meow?"

The three stray cats just let out an unintelligible meow and then continued to fight for food.

During the day, they are no match for those homeless people. Only when night falls can they gain an advantage in the fight for food.

This is an opportunity for them to fill their stomachs more easily.

Azshara did not stop, but followed the roof of the room and jumped from this room to the roof of another house.

As Azshara continued to move forward, she encountered two stray cats preying on rats that had just emerged from the sewers.

Its eyes were slightly bright, staring at the mouse that was dodging along the corner of the wall, and its claws were scratching gently, giving it an itchy feeling.

But after just staring for a while, it lost interest because the mouse was held in the mouth of one of the stray cats and flew away.

The light of the crimson moon shines down, and everything is peaceful in the middle of the night.

At such moments, the animals that bark the loudest and happiest are dogs, stray dogs.

They are more aggressive than stray cats digging for food in trash cans. Especially some stray dogs that are already dizzy from hunger will not only imitate cats in hunting mice, but sometimes cats are also their prey.

Some of them walk alone in the streets, and some are in groups in small alleys.

This is a small and dangerous group. Sometimes lone people will be frightened and leave quickly when encountering them.

In addition to looking for food, they are still looking for food. This is the reason why most animals emerge and walk in the streets and alleys late at night.

Azshara walked around and found it boring, so she lay down on the roof to rest for a while. But after just lying down for a while, she stood up and fluffed out her shiny black hair that was wet with late night dew.

The environment here is not as warm and clean as at home. The more it hangs out, the more it misses its cozy and fragrant nest.

"Meow."

Azshara wandered around for a while, then ran and jumped in the direction she came from.

The body is as light as a feather, and it can jump a long distance every time it jumps.

When she saw the familiar house appearing in her field of vision, Azshara meowed softly and quickly came to the window on the second floor. However, she did not go in immediately. Instead, she stayed in the shadow and looked through the window first. Look inside.

After waiting for a few minutes, when he saw Hastur's figure appearing in front of him and extending his hands to him, it jumped in from the window.

Jumping into the air, he was picked up by the soft flesh of the back of his neck and lifted up.

"Go take a shower first."

"Meow?"

"I asked you to go out and try to hunt, but you just walked around and came back."

Hastur flicked his finger on Azshara's head. After Azshara left just now, he also followed behind as a spirit body to prevent any accidents.

I originally thought that Azshara would behave as an assassin out of nature and the influence of the assassin's potion, but it just circled around the area and came back.

After coming back, he also knew how to watch outside for a while, and then came out of the shadows when he appeared.

"Meow."

"Okay, let's take a shower first, and I'll teach you slowly later."

Hastur carried Azshara out of the room.

…

Saturday morning, Aster Manor on the outskirts.

Gray Lint got off the carriage and looked at the large manor in front of him. He couldn't hide his surprise and said in confusion: "Hasta, you Campbell family actually left such a large manor?"

"Is it that surprising?"

"Well, your father is so famous that I thought he had sold out all the valuable things in your family."

Graylint was a little embarrassed to mention the bad rumors about Voltaire in Hasta.

Hastur smiled and patted his shoulder without explaining anything, and led him into the interior of Aster Manor. The sculptor in the sculpture garden was still carefully carving each of his works.

The cousin of the old housekeeper is still staying here. Hastur has tried to let him return to Backlund many times, but he has declined. He wants to stay here forever.

Hastur asked Butler Neal to arrange a room for Gray Lint, and also asked him to free up several noble rooms.

Although this time he invited Audrey and Earl Hall to visit the suburban manor, Audrey and Earl Hall may not necessarily live here.

They must have a large manor of their own nearby, and they will probably choose to return to their own manor to live.

Near noon, Audrey and Earl Hall arrived at Aster Manor in a carriage.

"This manor has not been sold yet, thanks to Voltaire's ability to bear it."

Earl Hall got out of the carriage and looked at the Aster Manor in front of him, feeling full of emotion in his heart.

Audrey's eyes were bright. She didn't know that Mr. Hastur actually owned such a large manor. The location and conditions were excellent. If it were to be sold, it would definitely not be less than 100,000 gold pounds.

"I didn't expect Mr. Hastur to be so rich. He's richer than me, right?"

Audrey calculated in her mind that she was no longer as rich as Mr. Hastur...

This made her feel a little lost. The only advantage she had was overtaken by Mr. Hastur.

Doesn’t this mean falling behind across the board?

She patted Susie's head, and then pinched its ears several times under Susie's resentful eyes.

In front of the gate, Hastur and Gray Lint received the news and came to the door to greet them.

When Gray Linte saw Susie coming here today, he was very happy and wanted to say hello, but when he caught a glimpse of Earl Hall beside him, his expression darkened again.

"Earl Hall, Miss Audrey, welcome you."

After a few brief greetings, Hastur led Earl Hall and Audrey around the Aster Manor.

When he came to the sculpture garden, Earl Hall stared at the middle-aged man who was obsessed with sculpture for a while, and then said: "Master Miller, I thought he had left Backlund long ago, but I didn't expect him to stay here. He is quietly engaged in carving work in the manor."

This sentence aroused the curiosity of Audrey and Hastur.

Hastur has never known the true identity of this middle-aged man. He just regarded him as an ordinary carver. He did not expect that he was a master. Even people like Earl Hall knew him.

"There are always some people in the world who don't like power and money, but are motivated to pursue their own path in life. Master Miller is one of them. His carving skills are well-known throughout Backlund."

Earl Hall did not introduce too much, nor did he disturb Master Miller, who was still obsessed with sculpture. He looked at the new works in the sculpture garden and uttered a few praises from time to time.

Hastur didn't know much about sculpture, but Audrey knew more. She had seen the royal family's sculpture garden, which was known as the largest and most beautiful sculpture garden in the Kingdom of Loen.

But some of the works displayed inside are not as good as a few sculptures on the edge that are already covered with vines.

This should be a new work in which the artistic style of Master Miller has changed again after he secluded himself here.

Hastur didn't have much feeling about this. He could only see that these sculptures were very good, but he didn't have such a wide range of knowledge and experience about what was good about them.

Audrey, who was aware of this, specifically asked Hastur to lead her into the sculpture garden for a walk around. The two of them chose a different route from Earl Hall.

On the way, when she encounters some interesting or exquisite works, Audrey will stop and give Hasta a scientific introduction to what is so good about this work.

In this regard, Hastur could only satisfy Audrey's little thoughts, and at the same time update his knowledge.

After walking around for a full circle, Audrey said with emotion: "This sculpture garden is really big. If these works were all sculpted by Master Miller, he would have been sculpting here silently for at least ten years. "

“Perhaps this is the craftsmanship of striving for excellence.”

Hastur also admires such pure people. Only people with such a character can continue to achieve new achievements in art.

"Would you like to stay at the manor and enjoy lunch together today?"

"I've also always wanted to try Mr. Hasta's desserts."

"Does Earl Hall prefer food with strong flavors?"

Audrey nodded in affirmation.

"Where's Miss Audrey's taste?"

"I prefer it to be lighter, and the presentation of the dishes must pass the standard."

The two of them chatted at the entrance of the sculpture garden and waited for about ten minutes before Earl Hall came out.

This time, in order to entertain Earl Hall and Audrey, Hastur asked Butler Neil to recruit two master chefs and asked them to make some new dishes for Earl Hall and Audrey to taste.

Food can sometimes be used as a bribe.

Anything that people have a preference for is a point that can be bribed.

For example, someone bribes someone with a dessert. As long as the dessert is amazing enough, Hasta feels that he should be successfully bribed.

After enjoying a delicious lunch, Hastur, Earl Hall, Audrey, Gray Lint and a dozen attendants came to the entrance of the forest in the afternoon.
