Mystery: The Stars Returner

Chapter 3 Down-and-out nobleman, pocket watch collector (page 12)

In the Sunya Sea, the vast sea reflects the green of the blue sky. A large ship is slowly sailing to the place where the sea and the sky meet in the distance.

If a pirate fleet passes by here, they will definitely choose to stay away.

Because this ship is the Dawn of the Mysterious Queen!

In a room on the top floor, a lamp with a dim yellow light and a unique shape was flashing.

"You feel very strange today."

Bernadette looked solemn, and as she spoke, she continued to strengthen the seal to prevent any accidents.

"Oh, I don't need to tell you what happened, unless you are willing to make a wish for it."

"You know this is impossible."

"Then there's nothing to say."

As the voice of the lantern god disappeared, the wishing lantern returned to its former peace.

Inside the wishing lantern, the genie was thinking about what had just happened.

He could feel that a mysterious being was peering at him through the seal just now, as if as long as that mysterious being was willing to help, he could break away from the seal of the wishing lamp and regain his freedom.

Faced with the temptation of regaining his freedom, he naturally would not wait for the other party to make a decision. However, when he followed the source of his gaze upstream, he found that there was a starry sky in front of him, making it impossible for him to move any further.

In that brief contact, he vaguely sensed a kind of suppression, a superior suppression of rules and order!

This is impossible!

He is the one who controls order and rules. Even if the three pillars are stronger than Him, they cannot suppress Him in terms of order and rules!

Could it be that someone is taking His place?

The Djinn God was a little panicked. It would be more terrifying than sealing him in the wishing lamp.

If it replaces and devours it, it will be difficult for him to regain the dual pathways and essence that should belong to him!

Even the part of yourself outside the starry sky will suffer a catastrophe!

"Damn Mystery! If it weren't for Him, how could I have ended up at the mercy of others!"

"No, I must find a way to break the seal as soon as possible and regain my freedom!"

"If necessary, you can use Bernadette's power to grant her a wish without any negative impact."

The djinn fell into cursing thoughts.

……

Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

On the table beside the bed, a mechanical time bird composed of various parts is telling the time to remind people on time.

"It was a really comfortable sleep."

Hasta was awakened by the sound of the chiming bird, turned over, lay on his back on the quilt, stretched his hands up, and stretched.

From falling asleep around ten in the morning and sleeping until three in the afternoon, it was a full five hours of sleep. The feeling of fatigue completely dissipated, and the whole person was extremely awake.

Thinking of the Palace of Stars in his sleep, the corner of Hastur's mouth raised slightly. Finally, he had a trump card, which gave him more confidence to face this crisis-ridden world.

After staying in bed for another ten minutes, Hasta got up from the quilt, folded the quilt, went out, came to the mirror, smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, and straightened his appearance.

Wearing a white shirt, a black vest, and black pants, he has a slender figure and a straight back, and he looks very energetic.

As a noble, even if he is down and out, he still needs the necessary attire.

Hastur walked to the cloakroom next door, put on a dark coat, chose a top hat, tied a bow tie, and selected a silver-plated ebony cane from among a dozen canes.

The handle of the staff is made of sterling silver and decorated with intricate carvings. The overall look is solid wood color and elegant.

Compared to the dazzling gold-encrusted cane and the noble gemstone cane, this cane was more in line with his aesthetics.

It is not ostentatious, but also contains low-key luxury. This is also the type that most Loen nobles prefer.

A pocket watch that can keep track of the passage of time is also a must-have for travel. Hasta opened the drawer where the pocket watch was stored. There were various pocket watches in it, about twelve or thirteen.

There are gold-plated ones, gem-set ones, and luxurious versions made of pure gold, etc. Most of them are round and oval, supplemented by exquisite and elegant embroidery patterns.

Every pocket watch here can be called a small piece of art.

Hasta was startled, and then opened a drawer next to him. There was still a dazzling array of pocket watches.

There are five drawers containing pocket watches.

In response, he fell into a deep silence.

Well, he admitted that he originally had a big misunderstanding of the term down-and-out noble.

No matter how poor one is, various collections can still be worth a lot of money.

The original owner seemed to be a pocket watch collector. Even if he had no money, he did not choose to sell his collection.

At the risk of being dazzled, Hastur finally chose a rather ordinary pocket watch, mainly made of silver with a ring of gold wire on the edge, and a matching silver chain.

After everything was ready, Hastur was a little afraid to go out.

If he didn't have these collections at home, it would definitely not matter to him, but now, all the servants at home have been dismissed and no one is home.

If a petty thief comes in, wouldn't he suffer heavy losses?

Alas, it is a crime to have a jade, what kind of pain is this.

Now is not a good time to hire a housekeeper or servant. We can only hope that the door lock is strong enough and the security in the area is good enough.

Locking the door and taking a set of keys, Hastur walked out of the room and onto the street.

The gray weather is very characteristic of Backlund.

He had no money for the time being, so he had no choice but to walk to Backlund University and take the opportunity to familiarize himself with the nearby roads.

There is still a long distance to go to Backlund University from the West End, so taking a horse-drawn carriage or steam train is a better option.

However, he was short of money and had no choice but to walk on foot.

Some nobles living nearby often cast curious glances on the road.

After all, the news that the original owner dismissed all his servants has spread throughout the neighborhood.

But no one came forward to ridicule him, they just looked over with a bit of pity in their eyes.

The absurd deeds of Voltaire Campbell are not a secret in the Loen noble circle. Many nobles also use this as an example to educate their descendants and strictly discipline themselves, for fear of becoming the next prodigal son.

From this aspect, Voltaire Campbell made certain contributions to the Loen aristocracy.

Hastur felt helpless, but his face was calm and composed. When he met a noble he was familiar with, he would take the initiative to say hello.

After walking for more than two hours, we finally arrived at Backlund University.

As a baron, Hastur received a warm welcome from Backlund University. After learning of his intention, they quickly arranged corresponding study courses for him.

You can come to the lawyer training class every day, and you can study until nine o'clock in the evening at the latest. Hasta's request for more free time, and his request to arrange his own study time was also allowed.

It is equivalent to hiring a private tutor, and the learning fee is higher.
