Chapter 360: Fors and Xio's Recent Situation

Backlund, Earl Hall's home.

Today is a good day. Earl Hall, who has always been diligent in government affairs, rarely takes a day off. He got up early in the morning and asked the kitchen manager to go out to buy some fresh ingredients and asked the chef to prepare some delicious dishes.

Audrey was a little strange at first, but soon she learned from Countess Hall that her second brother came back from South Wales with Mr. Hasta.

As for her second brother, she hasn't seen him for several years, and she only had contact in letters in the past.

Susie, who followed Audrey and silently watched everything around her, also wagged her tail happily. It also had an extra meal today.

At about 3:20 in the afternoon, Audrey led Susie and followed her eldest brother Hibbert to the steam train station to pick up people.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, the steam train from South Wales stopped steadily on the platform.

Soon, Audrey, who was waiting in the carriage outside, saw the figures of her second brother and Mr. Hasta.

"Long time no see, my brother."

Hibbert went forward eagerly to hug Alfred, his face full of joyful smile.

Audrey stood by, took a look at the scene of deep brotherly love in front of her, and looked at Mr. Hasta who was holding a small black cat.

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, she couldn't help but think of the unusual behavior that Mr. Hasta had made the night before he left Backlund last time.

"Meow?"

Azshara, lying in Hasta's arms, looked down from above, lowered her noble eyes, and glanced at Susie who was following Audrey without leaving a trace.

Is this the dog Feifan who likes to read books?

The golden hair looks very vulgar, not as beautiful and elegant as my shiny black hair.

It also needs me to follow the owner, unlike me who can be held in the arms of the owner intimately, without even needing to walk.

In any way, I am much better than it.

Azshara raised her head slightly with pride, retracted her gaze from Susie, and continued to show a lazy look, curling up in Hastur's arms.

Hibbert and Alfred talked about the past for a while, then greeted Hastur warmly, and Audrey also chatted with her second brother for a while.

After a brief chat, Hibbert and Audrey invited Hastur to go to their home to enjoy dinner together.

Hastur just smiled and refused such an invitation. The protagonist of Earl Hall's house today was Alfred, and he would not come at this time. He would visit again when he had time in the future.

He parted ways with Audrey and others halfway, and when he returned to his home, Butler Neil had already arranged everything.

This time he did not inform Butler Neil when he came back. He should have heard from Earl Hall's family that he would be back soon.

He lay in his big bathtub and took a comfortable bath to wash away the dust on the way.

If he did not want to come back to Backlund openly, he would not choose a steam train, which is an extremely slow means of transportation.

Borrowing the road directly from the spirit world is many times faster.

In order to make it easier to travel in the future, Hastur has decided to make a rule related to the Apprenticeship Path for the Star Chain after being promoted to Sequence 5 Chaos Mentor.

Sequence 5 himself just corresponds to the Apprenticeship Path Traveler, and in the future, he only needs to pull a space door to travel.

After enjoying the feast prepared by Butler Neil in the restaurant on the first floor, Hastur sat on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor and listened to Butler Neil's report on what happened during this period.

After understanding, he went to the study on the second floor to read the relevant financial reports and future development plans of the factory and law firm.

Because it has only been about a month since the last time he came back, there are not many things piled up.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, Hastur left Azshara at home and went out in a carriage.

He did not go directly to the Brave Bar to find Sharon and Maric, but went to the new residence of Fors and Xio.

The address of this residence was told to him by Audrey today.

George III wanted to be promoted to the Black Emperor. Because Adam helped to cover it up, Bernadette should not be able to detect this with her ability.

He needs to discuss this matter with Bernadette. As for the reason? All this is the will of the stars.

When Hasta knocked on the door of the big house, there seemed to be a sound of something breaking inside, and then there was the sound of Hugh's complaints.

After a while, Hugh carefully asked through the door, and when she learned that it was Hasta who was visiting, she slowly opened the door.

"What happened just now?" Hasta walked into the house and asked casually.

Hugh snorted and glanced at Fors who was cleaning the floor, "It's because someone's psychological endurance is too poor. He was startled when he heard the knock on the door, and even the coffee in his hand spilled all over the floor."

"Hugh, you are so embarrassed to say that to me, weren't you also startled?"

"But I didn't spill the coffee."

"That's because you didn't have coffee in your hand at that time."

"Cough cough cough..." Seeing that Fors's voice was getting louder, Hugh coughed twice, indicating that there were other people in Fors's house.

Fors's face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly cleaned up the residue on the floor, and put the garbage into the trash can in the kitchen.

Xio glanced at the coffee-soaked floor. Fortunately, there was no expensive carpet there. He breathed a sigh of relief.

After inviting Hastur to sit down, Fors had already made two cups of hot tea.

He handed one cup to Hastur and enjoyed one by himself. Seeing that Xio was about to say something, Forsi spoke first: "I can only take two cups at a time. If you want to drink tea, go to the kitchen by yourself."

Xio rolled his eyes, got up and went to the kitchen to get a cup of hot tea, deliberately sitting next to Hasta and opposite Forsi.

"It seems that you guys have been living a relatively stable life recently." Hasta saw the two people's little moves in his eyes, and said with a chuckle.

"not good."

"It's not stable at all."

Xio and Forsi each exchanged a sentence. Finally, Forsi smiled and motioned for Xio to tell about their life during this period.

Xio took a sip of hot tea, the smoke rose, and she took a breath before telling about her life with Forsi during this period.

Since the last time Forsi was contaminated, they moved to this place under the care of Miss Audrey, and then met a woman who called herself a sage.

During this period, the sage sent Xiu out to investigate the news, asking Forsi to go out more often when she was fine, to be a competent bait, and not to stay in the house all day.

Not to mention, Forsi is still very qualified as a bait. Within a month, she encountered three waves of people who wanted to attack her. Although they all survived in the end, it also left a shadow in Forsi's heart. .

Fortunately for Xio, she had long been accustomed to the life of running around outside, and finding information was an old trade she was good at.

Thanks to the care and feeding of the sage, Xio and Forsi are now Sequence 7 Beyonders.

In the words of the sage, they can finally be of some use.

But these are not the real dilemmas of Forsi and Xio. The trivial daily life of not being able to make ends meet is their biggest enemy.

If Forsi hadn't sold the news about the God of War's fall for a sky-high price of 2,500 gold pounds last time, the two of them would have spent all their savings.

Forsi said with emotion: "Living in such a good house, daily consumption far exceeds the previous expenses. I always feel that buying too cheap things is polluting this big house."

"Yeah, buying clothes and food, we can't go back to the poor days." Xio also felt sad.

Hasta understands this feeling very well. At this time, due to changes in living environment, consumption concepts have changed.

Living in a big house, you can naturally continue to eat vegetables and live a miserable life, but as long as you still have money in your pocket, you will gradually improve your consumption habits until it is worthy of the value of this big house. consumption level.

Hastur smiled and said: "I also have a high-reward mission here, which can help you solve your financial problems."

Xio shook his head and refused: "Mr. Hastur, it's not that we don't want to help, we don't have free time at the moment."

"Yes, our time already belongs to the Sage." Forsi also agreed.

"I'm here tonight. In addition to visiting you, I also want to discuss matters with your sage."

"Mr. Hastur knows the Sage?"

"Hastur is also a believer in the stars?"

Facing the different questions from Xio and Forsi, Hastur just nodded calmly and said: "Not bad."

Xio and Forsi looked at each other. Although they were a little shocked, they were not too surprised.

It was Hastur who helped Forsi become a believer in the stars in the first place, so the possibility that he himself is a believer in the stars is naturally very high.

"So tonight is the meeting of the Star Believers?"

Xio and Forsi's eyes lit up at the same time. The Sage was too high and unattainable, so they didn't feel much like they were fellow believers of the stars.

But Hastur is different, very realistic.

"A meeting of the Star Believers?"

A green and crisp pea vine appeared inside the house accompanied by a sound.

The iconic pea vine and familiar voice proved that the visitor was Bernadette.

Hastur looked relaxed and still sat firmly on the sofa, while Xio and Forsi stood up subconsciously.
