Chapter 477 Klein: Are you showing off your wealth to me?
Leonard was slightly stunned when he felt the strange eyes from other Tarot Club members, but he soon stopped caring.
He was a believer of the goddess, a member of the Red Gloves, and a party that maintained the official order. This was not a secret that could not be told.
"How was the mysterious prisoner solved?"
Audrey asked curiously, but Mr. Hasta did not tell her the specific details, but only gave her and Susie a gift each.
"He died on a starry night." Leonard did not reveal anything about the yellow monk.
Soon the topic was over, and Alger talked about the latest situation of the sea.
At present, there is only one thing that is most worthy of attention in the sea, that is, the mysterious queen Bernadette is preparing to establish a pirate kingdom.
Although many pirates suspect that the mysterious queen has some connection with official institutions such as the Storm Church, there are more pirates who join in the fun.
In just over two months, the mysterious queen has gathered a lot of pirate forces around her, and they are entrenched near the Rorsted Islands and are building a lot of buildings, as if they want to use it as a base.
The pirates were having a great time as if they were celebrating the New Year, while the Storm Church seemed very quiet. They did not do anything about the mysterious queen's founding of a country, and their attitude of letting things take their own course was obvious.
"Establishing a kingdom for pirates." Fors was full of emotion. The Sage was a believer of the stars, and such an action should also be instructed by the stars. I wonder what Mr. Fool thinks of this.
"Very interesting." Mr. Fool chuckled and gave his own evaluation, which was a tone of indifference.
Cattleya did not express any opinion on this matter, but just sat quietly in her seat.
After the Tarot Club ended and left the gray fog, Leonard opened his eyes and looked at the familiar ceiling above his head. He couldn't help but sigh that the Fool's method of pulling people to participate in the Tarot Club was too mysterious and difficult to spy on.
"Old man, I have joined the Tarot Club. Today is my first time to attend the Tarot Club."
"Very good."
"Old man, you rarely give me a good evaluation."
"I just think this development trend is very interesting."
"What do you mean?"
"You are a believer of the night, and you have attracted the attention of the stars. Now you have joined the Tarot Club of Fools."
"..." Leonard felt a chill in his heart for no reason. "Old man, don't scare me like this."
"I am just listing the existing facts."
"Stop." Leonard shuddered and his face turned pale. "Let's not discuss this issue."
...
In House 160, Boklund Street, Klein walked out of the bathroom and came to the study.
He took out a pen and paper and drew the topographic map of St. Samuel's Church again, trying not to make mistakes in every corner.
A lot of things have happened in Backlund recently. In addition to the war between the Kingdom of Loen and the Feysac Empire, there are not too many people guarding the St. Samuel's Church.
As long as you wait patiently for a while, there may be a good opportunity to sneak in.
Dongdongdong
When Klein was concentrating on thinking about how to sneak into St. Samuel's Church, the butler knocked on the door. He burned the topographic map he had drawn and dispersed the smell of burnt smoke before letting the butler in.
"Earl Hasta Campbell just sent an invitation to invite you to his villa tomorrow night."
"Well, I see. You go down first."
Klein looked at the luxurious and solemn invitation placed on the table by the butler, his face became solemn, and finally he chose to go to the banquet.
The other party gave him a good impression. Maybe this meeting would have different unexpected gains.
Ten o'clock in the evening, the Brave Bar.
Leonard stood in front of the door, looked up at the sign of the Brave Bar, and chose to go in.
There have been a lot of things happening recently, which made him feel irritable, and he really wanted to come here alone to drink some wine.
But he didn't want to meet the immortal witch, and he wanted to go to a strange bar, but it was troublesome.
People are really afraid and want.
Leonard commented on himself sarcastically, entered the bar, and glanced around. Fortunately, he did not see the immortal witch. It was estimated that she had forgotten him.
He did not see Hastur either, and his mood immediately became relaxed. He sat at the bar and skillfully ordered a few drinks that he usually drank.
In Backlund, as long as he did not think about getting married, he could live a fairly wealthy life with his salary.
After drinking for more than half an hour, Leonard suddenly felt someone patting his right shoulder.
He turned his head and saw that it was Hastur.
"When did you come?"
"A little earlier than you."
"You are in the private room inside?"
"Well, I just met a friend."
"Strange, how come I can meet you every time I come here?"
"Because I come here almost every night."
Hastur did not lie. In Backlund, Sharon was still dealing with the temperance faction, and Azshara had been following Sharon's actions recently and had not returned. Every night, he stayed alone in the huge villa, which was really boring.
Moreover, he knew that he could meet Leonard here recently.
Considering that Leonard had been blamed last time, he was going to give Leonard a gift.
"You're awesome." Leonard gave a thumbs up, then raised his glass and clinked it with Hastur.
When the two drank halfway, seeing that Leonard was already a little drunk, Hastur said half-jokingly: "You look very busy recently. Are you busy catching those important criminals?"
"Generally, the police department manages these things. Those mice who like to hide in the dark are the most troublesome."
With the Star Believers of the Stars and the Tarot Club of the Fool, plus the activities of the Yellow Monk Organization in Backlund, many members of the mysterious organizations hiding in the dark also frequently held gatherings and ceremonies in secret.
Especially after the appearance of the Yellow Clothes phenomenon, other members of the mysterious organizations felt that if they did not make a little trouble, they would be sorry for their beliefs.
Here, the Aurora Club is particularly named. They seem to want to prove that their belief in the Fallen Creator is more devout than the Yellow Monk's belief in the Yellow King.
The manpower of the Night Watchers alone is not enough to completely handle these things.
"Maybe I can help you with this matter."
"Really?"
Hearing this, Leonard instantly became energetic and most of the drunkenness dissipated.
"I'm well-informed in this area, and I can provide you with some messy and dirty places."
Hasta added, "No way, I have too many friends, it's hard not to know these things."
Leonard was very tempted, but he was a little wary and said, "Hasta, you don't want to use me to help you deal with some people you don't like, right?"
"If there is such a person, I can easily solve it myself, what do you think?"
A rhetorical question made Leonard fall into silence. The old man in his body told him a long time ago that Hasta was not simple, and what happened in South Wales proved this point.
All Hasta's enemies seemed to die tragically without knowing it.
He thought of the map full of names he had received before, and Hasta's name was written first on it.
"Are you trying to give me some credit on purpose?"
"Make more money so that you can treat me to a drink."
"Hahaha."
Leonard smiled and accepted Hasta's kindness. His intuition told him that Hasta would not harm him in this matter.
Is it true, as the old man said, that my bad luck has reached the bottom, and all that will follow is good luck?
…
Tuesday, six o'clock in the evening.
Klein took a carriage to the gate of a villa that Hasta had just purchased.
Looking at this large villa located in Queens, close to the royal area, he still felt a little envious.
He had checked the housing prices in various areas of Backlund, and the most expensive place was Queens. The location of Hasta's villa was equivalent to within the second ring of BJ, and the price was ridiculously expensive, and only the nobles were eligible to buy it.
It seems that Mr. Hasta has made a lot of money in South Wales.
Thinking that he still had to work hard to hunt pirates on the sea for bounties, the contrast was too strong.
"Mr. Dawn Tangstai, please follow me." Butler Neil smiled and led the way for Klein in front.
Entering the gate of the villa, along the neatly paved white marble road, it extended all the way to the gate of the central house.
Pushing open the door, a luxurious and extravagant atmosphere hit him in the face.
Well, this is a strong smell of gold pounds... Klein muttered in his heart and looked up at the layout of the house.
The tall chandelier illuminated the whole room with golden light. Famous paintings worth thousands of gold pounds were casually framed and hung on the wall. The floor was covered with luxurious carpets that were purely handmade and customized from the Republic of Intis.
The owner of this villa, Mr. Hasta, was sitting in an armchair by the fireplace, flipping through a book called "A New Interpretation of Law and Order".
Seeing Klein coming, Hasta put the book on the chair, smiled and stood up, inviting Klein to the dining table to enjoy dinner tonight.
"I heard that Mr. Dawn Donster is from the Disi Bay. Tonight's dinner is mainly local dishes. I hope it suits your taste."
"Mr. Hasta is so polite."
Klein sat down humbly and looked at the bottles of fine wine that had been placed on the table. Judging from the packaging alone, the price of each bottle of wine tonight would not be less than 100 gold pounds.
The cutlery was all of high quality, probably even more luxurious and impressive than the banquets hosted by the Loen royal family.
Could it be that Mr. Hasta invited me tonight to show off his wealth in front of me?
No way?
Could Mr. Hasta be such a superficial person?
Would he?
Klein was not sure what the young earl sitting opposite him was thinking.
He just had a feeling that the other party was showing off his wealth in front of him.
