Chapter 281 Beware of the Audience

Chapter 281 Beware of the Audience

In the dense forest at night, the crimson moon was high in the sky, and the forest was stained with a layer of crimson.

The mad man became a headless fly once he entered the dense forest, rushing around everywhere, and was soon locked by the Red Gloves members.

When Klein and Leonard saw Ince Zangwill again, they almost didn't recognize him.

Ince Zangwill in front of them had a shabby beard, messy hair, and worn clothes covered with dirt and sawdust. Even his eyes had lost their former agility and sinisterness. They were dull, as if they had lost their souls.

When the already crazy Ince Zangwill was forced into a dead end, he completely opened his mythical form. His unreserved madness made the members of the Red Gloves team more afraid.

At this time, the two accompanying bishops took action to put Ince Zangwill into a deep sleep, and the Red Gloves team made up for him. Klein and Leonard went all out.

In the end, the insane and demented Ince Zangwill died under the crimson moon. Before he died, he seemed to have regained his sanity for a short time, took the initiative to remove the mythical creature form, and looked at the starry sky with empty eyes.

"Is it over?" Leonard was a little unbelievable.

This is Ince Zangwill, the defected bishop who once planned the Tingen incident, and the powerful Beyonder who was able to escape from Backlund at a critical moment.

Tonight, he died so easily in front of him.

"Yes, it's over, but maybe this is just a new beginning." Klein's face was solemn, and he didn't feel happy after revenge. Tonight, Ince Zangwill's death was too strange.

In addition, 008 was not in the current Ince Zangwill. He reasonably guessed that tonight was the new owner of 008, and they used their hands to solve Ince Zangwill.

Without taking back the sealed object 008, the faces of the two bishops were not very good, and there was obvious worry in their eyes.

What are they worried about?

What unknown secrets are hidden behind this?

Klein didn't let himself think too much, but smiled reluctantly and patted Leonard on the shoulder. After all, they had avenged the innocent people who died in Tingen.

After dealing with the follow-up, Leonard and Klein returned to St. Samuel Church and were angrily accused by Miss Daly, who claimed that she was not called in to seek revenge on Ince Zangwill.

In the end, it was Leonard who asked Miss Daly to tell Captain Dunn the good news quickly, and only then did he get rid of the accusation.

After returning to his room, closing the door, lighting the kerosene lamp, Leonard, who was lying on the bed, began to ask what happened tonight.

His knowledge was limited, and he really couldn't see clearly what was hidden behind the incident of Ince Zangwill tonight.

"Do you know what the essence of 008 is?"

"Isn't it just a feather pen that can arrange people's fate?"

"Which extraordinary path do you think 008's ability is most compatible with?"

Leonard tried: "Destiny path?"

"It's the audience. Be careful of the audience. You'd better not get involved in this matter."

"Why should you be careful of the audience?"

"Because, you have to be careful of the audience."

"..."

Leonard was speechless. In the end, the old man didn't say anything. Be careful of the audience. He didn't think this extraordinary path was powerful.

...

When the sun rose from the other side of the mountain, Hasta had already got up and came to the window to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the morning light falling on the forest.

But this poetic scene was ruined by the constantly jumping pencil case.

Hasta opened the pencil case and took out a blank piece of paper.

008 excitedly wrote on the paper: "The abandoned child of fate, the unfortunate Ince Zangwill, his fate finally came to an end. The hunters from Tingen successfully avenged themselves. Although they had some doubts in their hearts, they could not guess the whole picture of the matter."

"This is my first cooperation with the Book of Prophecy. Everything is so perfect. Of course, all this is thanks to our master. It is he who arranged the fate of Ince Zangwill."

"Let us praise the master and praise fate!"

Ince Zangwill finally died, which was also a matter of his heart. If he always let the crazy Ince Zangwill exist, it might attract the attention of the night and Adam.

How could Ince Zangwill, who died in Backlund, be related to a young earl far away in South Will County?

After solving the problem of Ince Zangwill, Hastur showed mercy and allowed 008 to stay with the Book of Prophecy.

He sat on the other side, took out four envelopes, and prepared to start writing letters.

He had been in South Wilshire for a while, and it was time to write a letter back to Backlund to report his safety and briefly describe the recent situation.

Grek, Audrey, Maric, and another letter to Butler Neil.

It took Hastur more than an hour to write four letters with different contents, and then handed them to Caius, asking him to send someone to deliver the letters to Backlund.

After thinking about it, Hastur picked up another piece of letter paper and wrote a letter to Sharon, even though she had been away for only a few days.

"Azshara has been lying on the windowsill recently, looking into the distance. I think she should be thinking about when you will come back from afar."

"I recently got news that the people of the Rose School seem to be evacuating the southern continent."

Hasta felt that it was inappropriate after writing this sentence. Not many people knew that the Rose School was leaving the southern continent, so it was better not to tell Sharon first.

He thought for a moment, crossed out the text, and rewrote: "In another week, there will be a lively party in the town. It is said that it is a festival to pray for sufficient rain and a good harvest this year. It is held every year. If you want to experience the customs and customs of South Wales, this is a good opportunity."

"I also wrote a letter to Maric today to tell him that you are doing well here."

The pen stopped again. Hasta felt that there seemed to be nothing to write. After thinking about it, he wrote some daily trivia. When he saw that he had written more than two-thirds of the paper, he stopped writing.

Hasta took out a whistle carved like a flame from his arms. This was the whistle blessed by Gray Carrie, and it changed from the original simple bronze whistle to a whistle of flames.

In addition to being able to summon Gray Carrie to deliver letters, this thing only needs a simple activation to transform into a huge firebird and rush towards the opponent.

It is already an extraordinary item. As for the negative effects, it will get hot after use, and it is not suitable to be placed in the hand or pocket.

When the spirit world was torn apart, Graygari still descended in the form of a little firebird.

008, who was originally snuggling with the Book of Prophecy, actually jumped back into the pencil case and locked himself up.

Seeing this scene, Hastur was sure that the little firebird in front of him was the one he thought of.

Graygari, the ancestor of the Phoenix, was the true founder of the underworld and an ancient god of death older than the Hades Emperor Salinger.

As expected of the ancestor of the Phoenix, after such a long time, he was able to revive from the underworld. Was it because of me that he awakened Him, so He took the initiative to become his messenger?

But at that time, I just held a ceremony to summon the messenger and did not do anything too special.

Could it be that the power of the stars can awaken the sleeping or extinct gods?

This reminded Hastur of an outer god in the Cthulhu mythology system, which fits this feature very well.

The Big Alarm Clock Gheros, it is said that this Outer God will emit a strange tone, which will affect the sleeping Old Ones in the galaxy, and the stars will also change their positions, so that the stars will reach the correct position.

Hasta thought carefully for a while, and felt that this was just similar. The authority of the Hall of Stars is far more comprehensive and terrifying than the Big Alarm Clock.

To use a simple analogy, the Big Alarm Clock is just an alarm clock. His ability is to remind the sleeping people to wake up, and then let them go to work and school on time.

And the stars in the Hall of Stars return to their positions, which is more compulsory, more like pulling out a machine gun from behind, forcing the sleeping people to work in the factory from dawn to dusk.

Well, that's probably it.

Hasta retracted his thoughts, handed the letter to Gray Carrie, and said: "This is your first messenger mission, don't mess it up."

"Chiu!"

The little firebird raised his head and shouted loudly, holding a corner of the letter with his beak, flapping his wings and tearing the spirit world away.

After Graygari left for a while, 008, who was lying in the pencil case pretending to be dead, began to jump, hoping that Hasta would let him out.

"Since you like to stay here, stay a little longer. I won't disturb your rest."

Hasta had no intention of letting 008 out. He ran faster than anyone else just now and knew how to play dead.

"..."

008 jumped twice again, and when he saw that Hasta had no intention of letting him out, he stopped.

In the afternoon, Hasta, accompanied by Caius, patrolled his territory along the newly built road.

According to Caius's statistics, his territory spanned three urban suburbs, making him the largest lord in the vicinity, and even in the entire South Wales County, he could be ranked among the top five great lords.

Hasta asked Caius to mark out the territory that Greg asked him to manage on his behalf. Combined with the detailed map of South Wales County, the total area of ​​his territory was only second to that of the Grand Duke of South Wales.

There were a total of 92 plantations of various sizes, 45 villages, and 12 towns in the territory.

The plantations here are completely incomparable to Backlund's plantations. The size is very different, but the number and area are large, and a large amount of money can be sold by planting crops.

In addition to paying the necessary taxes to the kingdom, the villages and towns in the territory are the private property of the lords, and the tax rate can be increased to a certain extent to earn the difference.

This is also the financial source of most lords.

In Hasta's current territory, the real right to collect taxes is not in the hands of the lord, but is temporarily managed by the mayors of three neighboring urban areas.

There are historical reasons left by the Campbell family, and there are also practical reasons that he does not have enough manpower to take over.

Collecting taxes is a right, but also an obligation and responsibility.

Once he takes over completely, he will have to handle the affairs of the territory on his own, such as public security issues, disaster relief for floods and droughts, expenditures for certain public construction, and a series of other issues.

Therefore, a large number of noble lords will register their territories with nearby urban areas, let the mayor be responsible for overall management, and they only need to stay in the castle to enjoy life, and then wait for a sum of money to be collected every quarter.

It saves trouble and makes you feel comfortable.

This is also the political direction that the Kingdom of Loen has been promoting all along, which is to weaken the power of the lords in disguise, and only give money but not power.

What Hastur wants is power, and of course, money as well. After all, the adults are generous, so of course they want everything.
