Chapter 211 Azshara's First Attack
"Aisshara, you are getting more and more clingy now."
Hastur took Azshara out of the carriage, who had jumped into the carriage several times.
He had something to go out this morning and didn't want to take Azshara with him, but as soon as Azshara saw him boarding the carriage, she jumped out of the maid's arms and jumped onto the carriage, ready to go out with him.
After being stopped by Hastur several times, it still came up again. There was no other way, but Hastur finally took it with him.
"Meow."
Seeing that Hastur no longer chased her away, Azshara jumped onto Hastur's lap and meowed softly.
"I've never seen you so persistent in hunting at night."
Hastur rubbed Azshara's head. In the two days since he came back from the suburban manor, he has driven Azshara out every night to let her learn hunting skills, and in this way help her digest the potion.
Unfortunately, Azshara is not interested in the rats that emerge from the sewers and will never take the initiative to prey on them.
Even if they met by chance on the roof, it would just scare the other person away, without any desire to take action.
When he encountered a fight between a few stray cats and a stray dog, he watched it with gusto and looked like a wolf.
This makes Hastur feel that it is a pity. If he had known it earlier, he would have let Azshara choose the audience path to satisfy its desire to eat melons.
The carriage crossed the street and came to Backlund Bank, where Hastur was going to meet a nobleman who was also from South Wales.
It is said that because the situation in the Southern Continent has become increasingly tense and chaotic, many nobles and wealthy businessmen are worried that it will affect them in the future. Many people from the Southern Continent have fled to South Wales County, while most of the nobles from South Wales County have chosen to go to Backlund.
There were many people selling land from South Wales during this time, and Hasta was the only one he saw.
Because his land is the missing piece of land around his own territory, which is very suitable for purchase. Once taken over, he can connect his entire territory into one.
When Hastur appeared with Azshara in his arms, the nobleman from South Wales was obviously stunned. He probably didn't expect that the buyer of the land he was trading with was so young.
The transaction process went smoothly. Due to many well-known situational reasons, Hastur lowered the already low price of land.
For less than 5,000 gold pounds, he successfully purchased a large amount of land connected to his own territory from this nobleman.
If converted, it is a little cheaper than the land purchased from Viscount Abel last time at a discount.
Who makes the land now have a price but no market, especially the land in South Wales, there are very few people who really dare to take over it.
Some people believe that as the chaos in the Southern Continent reaches its peak, the Southern Continent may spread the war to South Wales to relieve their internal pressure.
Hasta does not rule out the possibility, and also believes that the situation in South Wales will not be too good in the future.
As many wealthy merchants and nobles from the Southern Continent came to South Wales, pirates would definitely come smelling the smell of money.
The coastal defense line in South Wales will definitely become more and more strenuous. For this reason, Hastur also wrote a letter to His Majesty the King with suggestions for strengthening coastal defense.
As for whether the king can see this letter of opinion and whether he will adopt it, it depends on Earl Hall and Duke Negan.
As long as the king openly discusses the South Wales matter, his opinions will most likely be adopted.
After finishing the transaction, Hastur asked some more questions about South Wales and the South Continent.
In the intelligence briefing in South Wales, the statement he gave was similar to what Viscount Abel said. Comparing the two, the credibility is very high.
Most of the matters in the Southern Continent were discussed by a noble of the Southern Continent who was close to him.
When the members of the Church of the Seven Gods first entered the Southern Continent, they used slogans that would not affect their intervention in the Southern Continent's civil war. However, slogans are only suitable for shouting and will become useless after a long time.
The Church of the Seven Gods, which has been difficult to find the true foundation of the Rose School, especially the Eternal Sun Church, advocates starting a war that will sweep across the southern continent. By then, no matter where the remnants of the Rose School are hiding, they will all be affected by the war and exposed. whereabouts.
There is another theory that the reason why the remnants of the Rose School cannot be found is because they are hiding under the protection of the Bailang Empire.
The Church of the Seven Gods is ready to break away completely, and at the same time, it will also take this opportunity to leave its own beliefs in the Southern Continent.
Some radicals in the Southern Continent are preaching that the arrival of the Church of the Seven Gods is not to deal with the indulgence of the Rose School of thought at all, but to use this as an excuse to start a civil war in the Southern Continent, and then unite with the countries of the Northern Continent to invade and occupy the Southern Continent. The rich land of the mainland.
This statement is widely spread and is also a common sentiment among residents of the Southern Continent.
If he hadn't known that the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun came specifically for the Superstar Lord, Hasta would personally believe this statement.
Especially the goddess of the night, she absolutely covets the faith of the southern continent.
Perhaps after some time, the Kingdom of Loen will appear and send its navy closer to the Southern Continent in the name of aiding the Church of the Seven Gods.
…
At night, Hastur followed Greco to visit Duke Georgina Augustus.
The briber's potion in his body is almost completely digested, and he only needs to do it step by step, which will take about ten days to half a month.
This Duke Georgina Augustus, he was not interested in meeting her originally. It was Greco who invited him and said it was a party with many nobles attending, so he came to meet the duchess.
It might even help the briber's potion be digested faster.
The party was held at the private estate of Duke Georgina Augustus. Before they reached the door, they saw many aristocratic carriages parked on both sides of the road.
"This Duke Georgina Augustus is a legendary figure. She is very intelligent and capable. She is deeply trusted by the king. Even the princes are rushing to please her."
"There will definitely be many members of the royal family here tonight. If you are interested, you can try to make friends with them. However, you have to stop exuding your charm. Royal women are not easy to get along with. It will be very annoying if they are targeted."
"Of course, if you want to please Duke Georgina Augustus, you can show your masculine charm to your heart's content. She likes men who are handsome and brave."
Facing Grek's nagging, Hasta, who hadn't even gotten out of the car, already regretted agreeing to attend this party with Grek tonight.
Get off the car and walk into the gate of the manor.
As the heir of Duke Negan, Greco naturally attracted the attention and communication of many people. While Greco was busy socializing, Hastur silently held the dinner plate and began to look for the best dessert tonight.
He tasted a little bit of each dessert, and finally chose a more delightful layer cake as the winner tonight.
Compared with the desserts at Earl Hall's house, the taste of the desserts here can only be considered average, which shows that Duke Georgina Augustus does not like desserts.
Hasta went to taste some meat again and found that the cooking level and taste of these foods were excellent, far exceeding the standards of restaurants outside.
You really have individual food likes and dislikes.
While Hasta was busy tasting the food, a figure walked out of the room on the second floor and took the red wine from the attendant.
His majestic gaze glanced around the downstairs, then stayed on Hastur for two seconds, then moved to other people, and finally landed on Hastur again.
Someone immediately said: "That is Voltaire's son."
"It turned out to be him."
The figure's gaze looked for a while, then glanced in other directions, never moving back again.
Until the end of the party, Hastur did not see the Duke Georgina Augustus.
In this regard, Grek's expression was very strange. Hastur asked him why, but he refused to say anything.
It wasn't until Greg left that he said thoughtfully: "If I had known there was such a relationship, there would be no need for you to come here tonight."
The Riddler…
Hastur had the urge to punch Grek into a pig's head, and then shouted: Riddler, get out of Backlund!
Fortunately, he thought about his identity as the returner of the stars, so he forgave Greik's behavior.
…
Late at night, near the border of the West End and Queens.
Two drunk men walked through the alley and saw several stray cats looking for food in the trash can. When they passed by, the stray cats did not run away, but stood on the edge of the trash can, their eyes still searching for the food in the trash can. .
They were supposed to pass each other without infringing upon each other, but one of the drunkards suddenly grabbed a maroon stray cat that was very close to him, then lifted it up hard and threw it towards the wall!
"Meow!"
A scream of pain startled the stray cats nearby and fled in all directions.
When the two drunkards saw this, they burst out laughing. Then they kicked the trash can, kicked it over, put their hands on each other's shoulders and walked away.
As for the comatose maroon stray cat huddled in the corner, they didn't even want to take a second look.
High on the roof, a small black cat chased the two drunkards in the direction they left with elegant and light steps.
"ah!"
"ah!"
After a while, two screams pierced the night sky.
The next day, there were two unlucky guys with white bandages on their faces in the West District.
According to people who knew them, the two unlucky men were attacked by a black cat while drunkenly walking through an alley last night.
Their faces were scratched and the pain was so painful that they sobered up in no time.
In the next few days, the next unlucky man appeared near the West District. When he was drunk and walking through an alley, his face was scratched by a black cat, and his eyes were almost scratched.
Some people even went to the police station to call the police because of this incident, and asked the police to dispatch personnel to clean up the stray cats hiding in the alleys.
Euphemistically called: giving the West District a quiet night at night.
This incident was even published in the newspaper. At the same time, Hastur, who saw the newspaper, sat on the balcony of his home, hugged Azshara who looked tired, raised his little paw, and shook it. , claimed responsibility for the attack.
