Chapter 604: Susie is not here tonight
This world is too crazy. Even mice can be bridesmaids for cats.
Hastur understood Azshara's thoughts at the moment, and the soft part of his heart was touched.
On the other side, Audrey was about to call Susie and talk to her about what an interesting experience it was to be a student of Mr. Hermes.
But Susie didn't even look back, and went straight to her study and began to flip through the books left by her teacher. Well, she planned to read late at night.
This is the allusion that Mr. Hastur once told her. It is said that there is an advanced version of "hanging the head on the beam and piercing the thigh with a needle".
It can't do this, it can only read late at night.
"Let it go, this enthusiasm for reading will last for at least several days." Hastur said, looking at Azshara, Azshara looked away with guilt, she didn't have such enthusiasm for reading.
The vast ocean of words made her eyes blurry.
If Miss Sharon hadn't forced her to read before, she wouldn't be able to speak Loen language well now.
At night, Susie still stayed in the study room, and Azshara also stayed in Susie's study room, saying that she wanted to urge Susie to study hard.
Audrey and Hastur, who were left behind, sat on the balcony on the second floor, enjoying the stars and the moon in the suburban sky while drinking and chatting.
"Mr. Hastur, do you want to get me drunk tonight?"
Audrey, who had already drunk a lot of wine and had red cheeks, asked innocently.
"I do have such an idea. After all, it's rare to see Miss Audrey drunk." Hastur chuckled and took the wine glass from Audrey's hand, flicking her nose, "If you drink too much, you will have a headache tomorrow."
"Mr. Hastur seems to have forgotten that I am now a dream walker of Sequence 5." Audrey gently snuggled in Hastur's arms and said affectionately, "I want to go to Mr. Hastur's dream tonight."
"What if I see content that is not suitable for children?"
"What is content that is not suitable for children?"
Audrey's reaction She was obviously stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and changed the subject with a slightly red face: "When I was in Backlund, I once entered Ms. Fors's dream."
"Her dreams are not very safe. Don't break into other people's dreams at will in the future, especially those who hide big secrets."
"Mr. Hasta, do you want to hear what kind of scenes appeared in Ms. Fors's dream?" Audrey said in an obviously unnatural tone: "It is also related to Mr. Hasta."
Is it a scene where Fors prayed devoutly to the stars?
But Audrey should know that Fors is a believer in the stars, and it is normal to have such a scene.
"I'm joking, I don't want to disclose Ms. Fors's personal privacy."
Before Hasta answered, Audrey had already ended the topic.
This undoubtedly aroused Hasta's curiosity.
Personal privacy?
Is it those unspeakable beautiful scenes between Fors and Xio?
That really shouldn't be leaked to the outside world.
Suddenly I envy Audrey's ability to walk in dreams.
Oh, he has one too, that's fine.
"Mr. Hasta, don't let your mind wander." Audrey reminded Hasta coquettishly, her cheek pressed against his shoulder.
"I've already let my mind wander." Hasta gently stroked Audrey's slender waist, smelling the alluring body fragrance.
Audrey blushed, remained silent for a long time, and then whispered: "Tonight, Susie is not here."
Huh, Hasta's heart suddenly became hot, is there a better invitation than this?
"Well, Azshara is not here either."
"Yes."
Audrey buried her head shyly, and was held in Hasta's arms, and then carried to the big bed in the bedroom.
...
In the early morning, Azshara yawned out of Susie's study, and walked on the corridor on the second floor with obviously sleepy eyes.
Last night, it chose to stay in Susie's study to rest, nominally to supervise Susie's reading, but actually because it didn't believe Susie would read all night.
In the end, it was proved that Susie was far more perseverant than it thought. She had been reading since last night's dinner until this morning.
It was too sleepy.
Azshara yawned and prepared to go downstairs to eat something and then have a good sleep. When she passed by Miss Audrey's room, she saw that Miss Audrey's door was still closed.
Is she still asleep?
It's already past nine in the morning, right?
Humph, she's even more sleepy than me.
Azshara walked by with her head slightly raised, went downstairs, and began to taste the food.
At lunch, Hastur came out of Audrey's room. To be precise, he was pushed out by the shy Audrey.
Alas, he is already a Beyonder. What will happen if he skips a meal?
Even if he doesn't eat for a day, it won't be a problem.
Hastur left with a sigh. When he passed by Susie's study, Susie was still concentrating on reading. Azshara returned to being a little black cat, sleeping lazily in the sunshine on the windowsill.
He didn't bother her, and went to the bathroom to wash up and take a bath before going downstairs to have lunch.
After waiting for about half an hour, Audrey finally came downstairs. Although her expression looked very natural, there was still a little blush on both sides of her cheeks.
Like a shy flower, it was blooming little by little.
Seeing Hasta looking at her with a smile on his face, Audrey suppressed her shyness, walked down the stairs naturally, and sat at the dining table to enjoy lunch.
"Susie is still concentrating on reading. It seems that she will also stay in the study tonight."
Faced with Hasta's pointed question, Audrey just hummed lightly and said nothing more.
"Mr. Rabbit came at the right time yesterday. It seems that I will give him a gift to express my gratitude when we meet next time."
Audrey pursed her red lips and still did not speak.
"I heard that there may be a meteor shower across the night sky of the southern continent tonight. It's just right for people to prepare some wine and food, and watch it comfortably on the second floor rooftop."
At this time, Audrey, who had finished lunch calmly and elegantly, glanced at Hasta, "So you are such a Mr. Hasta."
"You should have known it very well last night."
Audrey really couldn't stand such a conversation. Her face quickly turned red, and she gave Hasta a white look of shame and anger.
Tonight, Susie is still working late in the study, and Azshara wants to see how many nights Susie can hold on.
Tonight, a meteor shower passed through the territory of the southern continent in the night sky.
Tonight, Hasta was thick-skinned and was not rejected.
The original plan for a three-day vacation at the suburban manor was extended to a week.
…
In early August, it was the hottest season of summer, but in addition to the thick haze that could not be dispelled, there were also scattered snowflakes falling in the sky of Backlund.
Falling on the skin, it brought a little early winter cold.
In the history of Backlund, it has never snowed so early in August or even September and October.
Generally, it will not snow in the sky until October.
This time point is about half a month later than the cities of the Kingdom of Feynapot at the same latitude.
At that time, the nobles of Backlund said proudly: "It is the enthusiasm of the people of the Kingdom of Loen that dispelled the winter cold, and the heavy snow cannot extinguish the blood and ambition of the Kingdom of Loen!"
Now, the snow has fallen more than two months in advance.
Many residents of Backlund think this is a good omen, but more residents think it is an ominous sign.
Especially those workers who need to work hard, they complained.
Winter is coming in August, and they need to buy winter clothes in advance, and they also need to spend extra money on heating.
The wood for heating is not cheap.
And the cold weather will make many jobs that are not easy to do even more difficult.
As for those homeless people and beggars, they have always been a group that cannot make a voice.
Faced with the increasingly turbulent public opinion environment, the Loen royal family had to come forward and spend a large sum of money in advance to set up a special winter heating plan to ensure that every resident of Backlund will not be defeated by the cold.
At the same time, it was preached that this was a large-scale curse deliberately created by the evil wizards who invaded the northern continent from the southern continent. Fortunately, with the protection of the goddess of night, the evil curse did not spread, invaded lives, and caused unnecessary panic.
When the news of snow in Backlund reached South Will County, it became another rhetoric.
Grek, who was gradually becoming more ambitious, and other members of the Nigan family and the Hall family who were equally ambitious, began to preach, with the tacit approval of Hastur, that this was the Loen royal family's unreasonable behavior and immoral behavior, so the sky fell with ominous snow to warn all living beings. This is the wrath of heaven!
Heaven is angry and people are resentful, and then people rebel.
This is a very normal and reasonable historical process.
