Mystery: The Stars Returner

If Professor Wayne did not tell the truth frankly in today's conversation, but instead fooled himself like he fooled Professor Foulun, then he would definitely feel resentful because of it.

In the future, when Professor Wayne is here, he will only learn his knowledge and ignore his so-called grand wishes.

But Professor Wayne is indeed an old lawyer who can see into people's hearts. He knows what kind of people should be said and what things should be done.

When he went to Backlund University to study law, Professor Wayne must have been eyeing him, so he took the initiative to become his law teacher.

Otherwise, even the president of Backlund University would have difficulty making such an arrangement.

He has done business with the old butler, owns the land deed of the Campbell family, and is his own law teacher. These are his plus points here.

He was still young and had not yet truly integrated into the aristocratic circle. Greg Negan, the heir to the duke, was still his close friend.

Such a good seedling is a plus point for him.

Why is it that once the surface of tenderness is revealed, it is all naked calculation?

Is this also a lesson Professor Wayne wants to teach himself?

Hastur was thoughtful, and Professor Wayne, who was sitting opposite, said with a smile: "Yes, you do learn very quickly."

One answer seems to answer two questions.

"Being good at learning has always been my strength."

Hastur also laughed. No matter what purpose Professor Wayne had, he never felt sorry for himself.

The two sat and chatted for a long time. Lecturer Foulen, who had gone home for a short break, also came to Professor Wayne's house.

As the three of them chatted, the topic returned to the workhouse.

"Is Dean Dahn really the source of all evil?"

The person who raised the question was Hastur. He wanted to give Professor Wayne a little reminder that Dean Dahn was not a good person, and Vice Dean Bard, who had always been at odds with Dean Dahn, was not necessarily a good person either.

Professor Wayne said with emotion: "Who can tell whether it is the source or not? As long as the children living in the workhouse can live a better life, then what we do has its meaning."

Seeing this, Hastur stopped saying anything. Anyway, he probably wouldn't go to the almshouse again.

The three of them chatted until about four o'clock in the afternoon, and Hastur left. He wanted to go back and take a rest before preparing to attend Grek's banquet tonight.

Attending a banquet hosted by such a great nobleman requires a lot of preparations in advance.

Dress appropriately, have the right perfume, and have a light meal before the banquet. You must also pay attention to the nobles attending the banquet tonight in advance to avoid not knowing anyone by then.

There is also a certain time to set off and arrive at the banquet venue around.

Generally speaking, the more powerful the nobles are, the later they will arrive.

If you arrive later than the big nobles, you will definitely be ridiculed and make others unhappy.

If you arrive at the same time, your appearance will appear dull and will cause the displeasure of the great nobles.

What level do you think you dare to arrive at the banquet with me?

This is probably the mentality.

Only by arriving earlier than the nobles will you have a chance to show off your charm.

Noble ladies are most familiar with this matter and care about it the most.

Many noble ladies started making various preparations for this banquet several days in advance.

New clothes, new gems, new diamond rings, new perfume...

Always try to show your best side as much as possible.

If you are lucky enough to receive an invitation to a royal banquet, then this kind of preparation will be even more terrifying.

Sometimes, in order to wear a well-groomed skirt, they will go on a diet in advance, even tighten their belts, and take laxatives to make their waists appear slimmer and slimmer.

The banquet held by Greg for the protagonist is not that exaggerated. After all, he is not Duke Negan. Real nobles usually only allow their descendants to attend.

It needs to be taken seriously, but it’s not that scary.

Neil is a very reliable housekeeper and has great experience in dealing with these matters.

He believed that although the Campbell family was in decline, it was not comparable to ordinary nobles. It should at least be equal to ordinary earls.

After all, this is a hereditary title. If Voltaire Campbell hadn't been too outrageous, Hastur would have inherited the title of earl.

The gap between the earl and the baron is huge.

For this reason, Neil transformed Voltaire Campbell's exclusive carriage to serve as the carriage carrying Hastur tonight.

Hastur had no involvement in these careful and cumbersome arrangements, leaving everything to Neil.

As Neil himself said, "If a noble is bothered by something like this, then their steward must be incompetent."

There is only one thing that Hastur has to do, and that is to wash up, put on the banquet dress, and wait patiently for the banquet to arrive.

……

Queens, Earl Hall's house.

The setting sun shines through the bright stained glass and gently shines on the blond hair of an elegant and noble girl sitting at the desk in front of the window.

The girl was reading a book carefully. At the girl's feet, there was a big dog with the same golden hair lying on her stomach.

It closed its eyes and moved its tail lazily, as if to dispel the boring atmosphere in the room.

Boom boom boom!

There was a sudden knock on the study door. The sleeping golden retriever shook its golden hair and quickly got up from the ground.

"Who?"

The girl put her finger on the page of the book and looked at the door with an elegant posture.

"Miss, can you come in? It's time to get ready." the maid asked outside the door.

The girl put the bookmark on the latest page, then closed the book and said softly: "Come in."

"Miss, you have agreed to attend Mr. Greco's banquet tonight, and now you will start trying on clothes." The maid came in.

"okay."

"What style of gem would you like to wear tonight?"

"The blue teardrop one."

The girl's answers were brief. As she spoke, she leaned down and stretched out her hand to tease the golden retriever's chin.

The maid asked some more questions about the girl's preferences tonight, then turned and left, going down to prepare clothes, gems, perfume and other items.

The girl was obviously not interested in these things and just let her personal maid watch the arrangements.

She still has some impression of Greg. It is said that she has a very good relationship with her eldest brother and is also very good at business.

If nothing else, this Lord Greco is the next Duke Negan.

Due to these reasons, she did not refuse the invitation to tonight's banquet.

"Susie, when do you think I can find the door to the mysterious world?"

"Viscount Graylingt has been recommending a person to me recently. He seems to be named Hastur Campbell. He is a young baron. He said that he once held a resurrection ceremony and successfully survived. He has a very profound knowledge of mysticism. "

"I will look for an opportunity to observe Baron Campbell tonight. If my impression is good, I will agree to Viscount Graylingt's invitation to the next banquet."

The girl's gentle and soothing voice flowed into the golden retriever's ears, only getting two barks in exchange.

As night falls, factory workers drag their bodies back home after a tiring day to eat and rest.

And the beautiful time for the nobles has just begun.

Luxurious yet elegant carriages drove along the King's Avenue in Queens with the melodious sound of horse hooves.

Greg Negan, the next heir to Duke Negan, his banquets are among the most exclusive in the entire aristocratic circle.

Tonight's dinner starts at 7:30 and will be held in a private estate owned by the Negan family in northern Queens.

At around seven o'clock, carriages of nobles began to arrive one after another.

One by one, the aristocratic ladies, who were gorgeously and delicately dressed and wearing various gemstones and diamond rings, walked briskly and showed confident and elegant smiles as they got off the carriage and entered the manor.

Sometimes they talked about the latest popular new skirt styles, sometimes about which perfume was more fragrant and elegant, and some who were bolder and more open-minded whispered about which of the men present tonight was more outstanding.

As for the invited male nobles, they naturally left the best place for the ladies to chat, and consciously stood on the periphery, holding up their wine glasses, admiring the graceful figure deliberately displayed by the noble lady.

Then we talked about some recent news in various aspects of the kingdom, as well as some romantic anecdotes among the nobles.

Earl Hall's carriage arrived at the manor at almost half past seven.

When Audrey Hall, Backlund's most dazzling gem, emerged from the carriage, everything here seemed to be dimmed.

Her blond hair was dyed like pure sunlight, smooth, silky and lustrous, and her green eyes were as deep as the sea, as if they were dazzling gems hidden deep underground.

She doesn't need to compete with anyone, she just needs to stand among the crowd, and she is the most dazzling light.

Hold your breath and admire the beauty. This is the unanimous choice of the male nobles present.

Not too many people can actually see the jewel of Earl Hall's family at a banquet. For many people, every time they see her it is a baptism of beauty.

Greg, the hero of the party, came out with Hibbert Hall to welcome Audrey.

"Your arrival adds a lot of splendor to my banquet."

"You are the sister I am most proud of and the most dazzling jewel tonight."

Not far away, Hastur raised the wine glass in his hand, looked at Audrey, smiled, and whispered softly: "First meeting, Miss Justice."
