Chapter 478 Opportunities for mutual cooperation

Yes, he was showing off his wealth.

If it was in front of other people, Hastur would never have such thoughts, but in front of the poor Fool, he always wanted to show off his wealth and give Mr. Fool a little spiritual shock.

"Mr. Dawn Tangstai, you seem to be confused about tonight's banquet?"

While waiting for the maids to serve the dishes, Hastur took the lead in bringing up the topic.

"Such a grand banquet is an honor and affirmation for everyone." Klein added: "But I am an unknown businessman from the Bay of Disi, I really can't accept such an invitation, I am very terrified."

"When I saw you for the first time, I didn't know why I had a great interest in you and wanted to make friends with you."

"It's my honor."

While the two chatted with each other, the beautiful maids brought the carefully prepared dishes to the table.

"Please taste."

"Thank you again for your hospitality."

Klein didn't say anything more polite, anyway, Hastur, who was sitting opposite him, already knew his true identity.

"The wine tonight is pretty good, try it."

Hasta signaled the maid to pour Klein a glass of fragrant, amber-colored wine.

"Could this be the bottle of wine that was auctioned off by the Acrylic Auction House some time ago, which was suspected to be brewed by elves?"

Klein learned about the auction of this bottle of wine from the newspaper. It was said to be sold at a high price of 8,000 gold pounds.

I didn't expect that it was auctioned off by Hasta, and he even took it out to treat me tonight.

According to the size of the bottle, it can only fill about ten glasses like this tonight.

In other words, each glass of wine is worth 800 gold pounds!

This is not drinking, this is simply eating money!

My previous year's salary can only afford this glass of wine.

Luxury and corruption must be severely criticized!

Klein drank a glass, and then drank another glass.

It's not to mention that the taste of this wine is really different. It not only has the aroma of money, but also seems to have a kind of vitality for the growth of all things. Once it goes into the stomach, it's like a seed of life is breaking out of the shell and blooming little by little.

He suspected that he had given this glass of wine too much imagination.

When this bottle of elven wine worth 8,000 gold pounds was finished, tonight's dinner was over.

After dinner, Hastur invited Klein to the study on the second floor.

Entering the study, as soon as he sat on the comfortable and soft sofa, Klein smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Hastur saw through my disguise this time?"

"Your name."

"Is there anything special about the name Dawn Downstairs?"

"Before I returned to Backlund from South Wales, I saw that such a person would appear."

"See through the future?"

"Just a glimpse of the future."

Hasta answered very sincerely, and he did not lie on this issue.

He knew very early that one day in the future Klein would appear under the name Dawn Downstairs.

When this name appeared, the character was a wealthy man from the Desi Bay, and he naturally recognized that this was Klein's new identity.

"Mr. Hasta, people like you are really scary." Klein said with emotion.

He really couldn't figure out the young and handsome Hasta in front of him. His origins were mysterious, his purpose was also mysterious, and he seemed to know himself very well.

"You and I have never been enemies."

"I hope so."

"That's right, no one can predict what will happen in the future."

Hasta smiled and changed the subject, and began to chat with Klein about what happened recently in Backlund.

After chatting for about half an hour, Klein finally asked, "Mr. Hastur invited me to the banquet tonight, it shouldn't be just for chatting, right?"

Of course not, I just want to show off my wealth in front of you... Hastur smiled in his heart, but said, "In the next Backlund, there will be a person who is not very happy. We may have the possibility of joining forces."

"Who?"

"Amon the Blasphemer." Hastur added, "Don't worry, he can't hear his name when he is here."

Klein's pupils shrank slightly, and he really took a breath of cold air. He is not unfamiliar with Amon.

If Amon really comes to Backlund, at such a close distance, his true identity will probably not be hidden.

"Is this also a corner of the future?"

"Well, I believe this day is not far away."

Klein was silent for a while, then curiously asked: "Mr. Hastur has a grudge against Amon?"

Hastur thought for a while and said: "Simply disliking him, do you think this reason is sufficient?"

It is really a very willful reason. Mr. Hastur does not seem to care that much about Amon, the King of Angels. There is only one explanation. Behind him, there stands a god.

From the performance from the beginning to now, his belief is definitely not the only six gods left now, but other mysterious and ancient existences.

The only ones who have been active recently are the Stars and the King in Yellow, and these two should be the same existence.

That is to say, behind Hastur are the Stars, and he is a believer of the Stars!

Klein roughly guessed the identity of Mr. Hastur in front of him, but he didn't know how much he knew about himself.

"If Amon really comes to Backlund, I would be happy to cooperate with Mr. Hastur." Klein smiled and gave his answer.

"I think our cooperation will be pleasant."

"I think so too."

...

Since the police announced that the Bellrand Bridge case was solved, Backlund has been much quieter recently.

As the captain of a red glove team, Leonard has had a smooth career and made many contributions recently.

With Hastur's secret intelligence, he led his team to destroy more than a dozen bases of secret organizations.

These include the Moss Ascetic Order, the Aurora Order, the Witch Cult, the Twilight Hermit Order, the Secret Order...

Mainly the Moss Ascetic Order and the Secret Order, the one that shocked Leonard the most was the Twilight Hermit Order.

He couldn't imagine that there would be such a big shot who would join the Twilight Hermit Order in secret.

At first he was a little scared, after all, this secret organization was very unusual, but when he asked the old man in his body, the old man told him to let it go, saying that he had been watched by so many beings, and what was an Adam.

He thought that this was the truth, so he treated everyone equally, and he investigated everyone on the list one by one.

The Church of the Goddess of Night gave him a lot of power in this matter and silently cooperated with his actions.

After sweeping like this for more than two weeks, the whole Backlund became much quieter, and the rats who dared to show up again were much fewer than before.

Leonard also got the reward for his meritorious service as he wished, and everything went so smoothly that he couldn't believe it himself.

"Old man, what you said before really makes sense. Misfortune is the beginning of good luck."

The old man in the body just snorted lightly and ignored the silly boy.

"Old man, why did you suddenly stop talking?"

"Hehe, do you really want me to say it?"

"You can say whatever you want. I am now blessed and have a smooth road ahead."

"Be careful of excessive happiness and sorrow."

"Old man, I don't see the sorrow there..." Leonard's pupils shrank immediately, and he clearly saw where his sorrow was.

The immortal witch Miss Selene Fina was actually standing on the street below, waving at him through a window across two floors.

...

Count Hall's house

Mr. Hasta is coming to visit tonight. He likes to eat sweets, so he has to ask the dessert chef in the kitchen to prepare them in advance. However, is it not good to eat too much sweets?

Audrey thought divergently for a while, and the corners of her mouth could not help but rise slightly. Her beautiful eyes like emeralds turned, and she saw the time on the wall clock. She put away all her thoughts and returned to her bedroom.

In a corner of the bedroom, Susie, a big golden retriever, was lying on the ground with her two front legs crossed, which was very elegant.

In front of it was an open book with densely written lines of words.

Susie raised one of her front legs from time to time, fiddled with it to turn the pages of the book, and read it very seriously.

Every time she saw Susie reading so seriously, she felt a little ashamed... Audrey, you can't relax in your studies, lest you be surpassed by Susie.

Audrey encouraged herself and slowly moved closer to see the book Susie was reading clearly.

When she saw the contents clearly, her brows slightly wrinkled. Susie quickly turned the pages of the book, covered the whole book, and moved forward slightly, covering the whole book and the cover under her body.

"Audrey, you're back."

"Susie, don't try to change the subject." Audrey pointed to the book that Susie had pressed under her body and asked, "Why don't I remember this book? Where did you find it?"

"..."

Susie's pair of bright eyes were about to turn, and Audrey said first: "Earl Hall has not received a new batch of books recently. He only buys books that were just published last month at the beginning of the month."

"My eldest brother Hibbert, his study at home is basically a decoration. If he buys books, he puts them outside."

"..."

Susie couldn't think of a good reason for a while. She looked up at the time on the wall clock and said excitedly: "Mr. Hasta is coming soon, I'll go to greet him."

After that, she ignored Audrey's suspicious eyes, held the book in her mouth, and hurried out.

"Susie, you are becoming more and more dishonest now." Audrey was sure that the book was not her family's collection.

Mr. Hasta must have secretly bought it for Susie!

No wonder Susie agreed so readily last time!

"Mr. Hasta, humph, you are also dishonest with Susie."

Audrey pouted slightly and waved her fist lightly.

At the door of Earl Hall's house, Hasta, who had not yet gotten off the carriage, yawned for no reason, and always felt that something was wrong.
