Chapter 380 Maric: Hastur, you forget your friends for the sake of beauty
In the study, Audrey and Hastur sat on the sofa, enjoying afternoon tea at Earl Hall's house. Susie lay at the feet of lazy Audrey, looking at Azshara curled up in Hastur's arms from time to time.
Azshara, who had eaten the dried fish secretly, turned around, then came back, and took away the dried fish that Audrey had brought specially, hiding in Hastur's arms.
"You said Susie was awakened by Azshara?"
After listening to Audrey's description of Susie's awakening, Hastur looked down in surprise at Azshara who was eating dried fish contentedly.
How could he not know that Azshara could heal diseases?
Did she learn it from Sharon?
Facing Hastur's disbelief, Azshara closed her eyes and was too lazy to explain.
"Yes, Susie had been sleeping all the time until Azshara's arrival, which woke her up from her sleep." Audrey described in detail how Azshara awakened Susie.
Susie, who was lying on the ground, also quietly pricked up her ears to eavesdrop.
"..."
Hasta was silent for a while, and looked at Azshara with a complicated expression, if he guessed correctly.
Azshara patted Susie's head, not thinking of waking Susie up in this way, but just seeing Susie sleeping, she wanted to pat Susie a few times.
But she didn't expect Susie to wake up at this time, which gave Audrey the illusion just now.
"Meow."
Azshara responded in a low voice, and then buried her head.
Hasta didn't explain to Audrey, but just smiled and said: "Maybe they have a way of communication that we humans can't understand."
"Woof, woof?"
Susie subconsciously wanted to communicate with Azshara in dog language. Azshara squinted at Susie lazily, and then meowed reluctantly.
"?!!"
Susie stood up from the ground, her eyes widened, and looked at Azshara in disbelief.
"Do they really have their own way of communication? Even if one is a dog and the other is a cat?"
Audrey looked back and forth curiously at Susie and Azshara, but still couldn't believe Hasta's words.
"Ants and bees have their own language, not to mention clever and magical creatures like Susie and Azshara."
"Azshara too?"
"Yes, she is a natural assassin."
Audrey showed an expression of enlightenment. No wonder her little tricks could not deceive Azshara. It turned out that Azshara, like Susie, had intelligence no less than that of humans.
Is it childish to tempt Azshara with dried fish just now?
"Meow."
Azshara meowed at the right time, as if she heard Audrey's little thoughts.
She couldn't help but sneak a glance at Azshara, and then found that she was thinking too much. Azshara just urged Mr. Hastur to give her another dried fish to eat.
"You have already eaten a lot today, and your belly is almost full."
"Meow..."
Azshara immediately lost her temper and lay in Hastur's arms without moving.
Audrey envied the interaction between Mr. Hastur and Azshara, and then inadvertently glanced at Susie, whose belly was already full, and sighed.
Susie was obviously very cute when she was little, so small that you could hold her in your arms and feed her goat milk occasionally.
Now, Susie is so strong that it is difficult for her to pick her up from the ground.
"Woof?" Susie looked up and looked at Audrey. The meaning in her eyes was very clear. Is it my fault that she grew up?
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Hastur left Earl Hall's house. He was originally invited by Audrey to see Susie today, but he didn't expect to be solved by Azsara by accident, which saved him a lot of time. He also said goodbye to Audrey.
After a few days, when Backlund returns to its former tranquility, he will set off to return to South Wales.
Back home, Azsara jumped out of Hastur's arms and accurately found Sharon who had arrived at some point.
"Meow, meow..."
Azsara meowed again and again, as if she was discussing something with Sharon, or secretly telling her something.
Hastur ignored the clever Azshara and said to Sharon, "This time Maric wants to return to South Wales with us. What do you think?"
Sharon did not answer, but just looked at Hastur.
"I will reject Maric's request right now. He is young and it is time for him to work hard. It is best for him to stay in a big city like Backlund." Hastur said quickly.
Sharon retracted her gaze and lowered her head to stroke Azshara's little head.
...
At about nine o'clock in the evening, Hastur came to the Brave Bar and righteously rejected Maric's idea of going to South Wales.
Maric's already pale face was like a corpse buried deep in the soil after being dead for many days. He stared at Hastur with resentful eyes, "A guy who forgets his friends for the sake of beauty!"
Hastur turned a deaf ear to this and looked natural. He drank the wine while tasting the quality of this glass of wine.
"You pay for the drinks tonight!"
"No problem."
Hasta raised his lips slightly, and generously took out a stack of 10-pound notes from his jacket pocket, then counted out ten of them in front of Maric and put them on the table: "This money is enough for you to drink for three days and three nights."
"..." Maric was speechless, "Do you think you can use money to make up for your behavior of forgetting your friends for the sake of beauty?"
"Forget it."
Hasta pretended to take back the money, but Maric had already pressed the money with his right hand, "There is no reason to take back the money you have taken out."
Hasta sighed and leaned back slightly, "Spilled water can be taken back without a drop leaking out, let alone a word."
It is normal to say that spilled water cannot be taken back.
But in this extraordinary world, it is very easy to do this.
Maric snorted twice, without refutation, and then called the bartender to take five 10-gold pound notes from the table and gave them to him, asking him to go out and shout that all the guests' consumption tonight will be paid by Mr. Hasta.
"..."
Hasta almost coughed out the wine in his mouth, but fortunately he held it back in the end.
"Maric, you are really a talent." Hasta gave a heartfelt compliment.
"Do you need to say that?" Maric glanced at him disdainfully.
When Hasta came out of the billiard room, the bartender greeted him loudly: "Mr. Hasta, thank you for your generosity tonight."
This greeting made the drinkers in the bar look over, and then the thanks came one after another.
Hasta's face was slightly stiff, and Maric hid in the shadows to watch the joke.
Then he left the Brave Bar under the gaze of the happy drinkers.
Just as he came out to breathe some fresh air, a carriage stopped beside him in time, waiting for him to get on.
Hasta took a look and found that the carriage was not from his family, and it did not look like it was hired by the Brave Bar.
"Earl Campbell, you are really hard to hire." A voice with hidden anger came from the carriage.
"Who are you?"
"Hehe."
The person in the carriage chuckled twice, pulled open the curtain, and revealed his face.
Oh, it's George III's son, the second prince, what's his specific name?
Hasta thought for a while and really couldn't remember.
He only remembered that the second prince had threatened him because of the former Grand Duke of Southwell.
"Is the second prince okay?" Hasta asked politely.
Lennart Augustus said with a dark face: "I'm a prince now!"
Forgot about it.
Hasta looked dazed, then sighed, "King George III's voice and smile are still in front of me."
"..."
Lenaert Augustus didn't expect Hasta to say such a thing, so he couldn't blame the other party for his impoliteness.
"Get in the car, I have something important to discuss with you!" He frowned and said in an imperative tone.
"I drank a lot of wine and need to go home to rest, or does the second prince want to argue with a drunk person?"
"..."
Lenaert Augustus suppressed his anger and said, "You can go wash your face first, and then you will be sober."
"No."
Hasta refused directly and didn't bother to pay attention to him. Lennart Augustus was so angry that his face turned black. Finally, he angrily lowered the curtain and let the coachman drive the carriage away.
"George III just died. I'm not interested in getting involved in the affairs of your royal family."
Hasta knew the other party's purpose for looking for him without having to guess. At present, he has become famous in South Wales County. In addition, the Grand Duke of South Wales fell into the water and died. He is already the actual controller of South Wales County.
In addition, he is still very young, and he is indeed worth winning over.
Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, when Covington II has time, he will send someone to find him.
He is not interested in participating in such troublesome things.
Let Earl Hall and others worry about standing in line.
Sure enough, the next afternoon, the new King of Loen Kingdom, Covington II, sent someone to invite him to participate in tonight's dinner.
Earl Hall, Prime Minister and other powerful nobles have received invitations.
Hasta didn't want to participate in these things, but he hasn't left Backlund yet, so there is really no reason to refuse.
Moreover, this Covington II has just come to power. If he refuses, it will give people too many associations.
Therefore, Hastur went to Earl Hall's house first, and then followed him to attend the dinner tonight.
Even if there was something, Earl Hall would be there to discuss it with him.
