Chapter 561: The Test from Klein (End)
After dinner, Hasta asked Butler Neil to arrange a room for Klein.
During a short break, Sharon came to Hasta's study and saw Hasta holding a stack of Roselle's diaries with an amused smile, shaking his head from time to time, as if he didn't comment on the contents recorded on them.
"Sharon, come and take a look at this magic circle." Hasta waved his hand, and Sharon walked over and saw a six-pointed star magic circle drawn on a piece of paper. She didn't see anything outstanding or worth laughing about.
Hasta deliberately said mysteriously: "This is the magic circle left by Emperor Roselle that can travel through time and space."
Sharon lowered her head and studied it carefully for a while. She only felt that this magic circle was simple and easy to understand, but such lines were obviously too simple. It was impossible for it to be a magic circle that traveled through time and space, and it was not even certain whether it was a magic circle.
A child of a few years old could draw this pattern by holding a branch and drawing on the ground casually, and it was impossible for him to have the power of communication.
"Do you believe it?" Sharon looked at Hasta calmly, as if she was saying this kind of coaxing words to a child, do you believe it too?
"Hahaha..." Hasta couldn't hold back his laughter, pointing at the hexagram magic circle and saying, "I believe it is a magic circle, but I don't believe it can travel through time and space."
"Try it." Sharon asked Hasta to draw a magic circle for demonstration.
"No need." Hasta shook his head and chuckled, "It needs a special method and a summoner to work."
"Really?" Sharon still didn't believe it, and looked down at the hexagram magic circle for a while, but still didn't recognize what kind of magic circle it was.
"I haven't felt so much fun in a long time. Dwayne Downstairs is really good at making things happen for me."
"Oh." Sharon raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Is it boring to be with me recently?"
Hasta realized that he had said something wrong and quickly apologized to make amends, "It's because the days with you are too interesting that I can't get interested in anything now."
"It's a lie." Sharon chuckled, "It's just made up."
"..."Hasta put down the Russell diary in his hand and smiled, "Sharon, I don't have any secrets in front of you now."
"It's a lie again."
"..."Hasta coughed lightly, "Then let's talk about the truth."
Sharon just looked at him quietly, as if to understand whether Hasta's next sentence is true or false.
"Sharon, you are so beautiful."
"The truth."
"Sharon, you are so cute."
This time Sharon didn't speak, but looked at Hasta with a bit of tenderness.
"Sharon, I want to hold you forever."
"Sharon, I want to do something with you that makes you shy."
Without waiting for Hastur to continue, Sharon turned and left.
...
"Is there really nothing suspicious?" Klein went to the nearby garden alone under the pretext of taking a walk.
He had been in this castle for two days, but after his daily observation, he could not see Hastur's unusual side from his daily life.
Hastur's daily life was very regular. He used to sleep in Miss Sharron's room at night, but recently because of his arrival, he went back to his bedroom to rest.
He woke up in the morning, washed and dressed, went downstairs to eat, took the little girl named Azshara out for a walk, and then returned to the study to read or deal with some chores.
At noon, he usually took a nap for half an hour to an hour.
In the afternoon, he would invite Miss Sharon and some people in the castle to go to the wild activities, such as horseback riding, archery, hunting, etc.
After dinner in the evening, he basically stayed in the study and went to bed around ten o'clock.
This was Hastur's plain day.
Seeing that he could not make any breakthrough from Hastur, he deliberately chatted with the maids, handymen, gardeners, and cooks working in the castle, and asked about Hastur's situation inconspicuously during the chat.
The only secret he found out and worth hearing was that Azshara was not Hastur's biological daughter, but had suddenly appeared a few months ago, and Miss Sharon was Hastur's happy partner who had been dating for a long time.
Apart from that, he did not find out any other meaningful news in this castle.
There was no way to confirm that Hastur was a time traveler like himself.
He also tried to go above the gray fog for divination, but he did not get any useful information. Even if it was just a simple divination, as long as Hastur was involved, his divination was not successful once.
Three days had passed, and he could only postpone his plan to expose Hastur's true face. After all, he could not stay here and let Hastur support him, even though the life of waking up at sunrise and resting at sunset was very comfortable.
So, on the morning of the third day, Klein told Hastur that he wanted to leave.
"Mr. Hastur, I have wasted too much of your precious time here. Although I like the living environment here and everything here fascinates me, I still need to run the business that I have neglected, so I think an hour later is the best time for me to leave."
"Mr. Dawn Tangstai, this is really a very regrettable decision. As you know, this place is remote and there are few visitors from Backlund all year round."
"That's because your friends don't know what a beautiful place this is, no, it is a paradise on earth."
"Thanks to your praise, I feel a little relieved to be alone in a secluded place."
"I'm just honestly describing how I feel."
“Praise honesty.”
Klein and Hastur stood together and said goodbye. The polite remarks made Azshara next to her feel uncomfortable, and she quickly slipped into the garden to play alone.
Sharon, uncharacteristically, listened with interest. From her perspective, this Dawn Downstairs was definitely not a simple person, and this person also had some important significance to Hastur.
Although Hastur had a deeper friendship and better relationship with Grayk and the others on the surface, she could definitely say that in terms of status in Hastur's heart, this Dwayne Downstad was definitely better than Grayk and the others.
Not all people can be taken seriously by Hasta.
So she was very interested in listening to the conversation between the two, and seeing the fake to almost real smiles on their faces made her even more interested in watching.
"I really hate to have you leave. Alas, your departure will make me lack the necessary comfort in the days to come. This is undoubtedly painful." It was Hastur who spoke.
"I also feel regretful and even sad about this, but parting is for a better reunion, so I look forward to the joy of meeting next time."
After Klein finished speaking, he and Hastur looked at each other, and then they looked away with tacit understanding. They both felt that there were dense knots sprouting on their arms. Well, they were so numb that even they could no longer hold their breath and lurked.
Before leaving, Hastur personally walked Klein to the gate of the castle. When Klein was about to leave in a carriage, he suddenly said: "Mr. Hastur, see you later."
"..." Hasta subconsciously followed Klein and said, "We'll see you later."
Fortunately, he suddenly came back to his senses and stopped the words that had come to his mouth.
Klein’s words are not Loen, nor Ancient Fesac, nor Ancient Hermes, but pure Mandarin!
It had been a long time since he heard his hometown dialect, and Hasta almost started talking nonsense.
Fortunately, fortunately, he did not follow up by saying the words "see you later" in Mandarin.
Otherwise, his identity as a time traveler would be directly exposed to Klein.
Without long-term edification and practice, you will not be able to speak pure Mandarin for the first time, but you will be able to speak Mandarin with a foreign accent.
Okay, Klein, you're a thick-browed guy, when did your kind heart become full of eyes?
"Mr. Dawn Downstairs, what language is this? Why have I never heard of it?" Hastur, who had reacted, asked in shock in Loenese with a pure Loen Backlund aristocratic accent.
"Mr. Hastur, please forgive me for the offense. That is the blessing language I learned from the aborigines on a remote island when I was traveling in the sea."
Faced with Hastur's question, Klein still smiled broadly and said: "The general meaning of this blessing is: We will eventually meet in the future, and may we each be bathed in the sanctity of the same sun."
"Mr. Dawn Downstad is really knowledgeable and talented." Hastur complimented him unintentionally, and then smiled: "This language sounds quite interesting, but I don't know if it is difficult to learn?"
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I didn't study the language systematically at that time. I only learned this blessing." Klein's lie came out of nowhere. Everyone was talking to each other anyway. He didn't believe Hastur. Always tell the truth?
"I wonder where that island is?"
"Oh, in a turbulent sea area just west of the West Balam Star Plateau, a little further south, first go around a small island, and then you can see the location of the island. The trees there are particularly distinctive, regardless of the What kind of trees are they? They are all bare and easy to identify.”
Klein described it very realistically, and even drew a simple route map for Hastur from the air.
Hastur knew that Klein was definitely talking nonsense. There was absolutely no such island in that sea area!
Klein also knew that Hastur would never take the time to look for it.
Even if Hastur really sends people to search, the sea is so big, it’s normal to look in the wrong direction and the wrong place, right?
Taking a step back, even if Hastur doesn't believe what he says, what does it matter?
Everyone has their own little secret, and Hastur is no different.
The two looked at each other and smiled, their faces once again covered with a reluctant expression of farewell. After Klein said goodbye again in Rune language, he left in a carriage.
