Mystery: The Stars Returner

Barranca, the Cursed King!

Sharon's heart sank and her face became solemn. She knew that Barranca, the Cursed King, was one of the leaders of the Rose School along with her teacher.

He is the angel of indulgence!

Sequence 2 Ancient Evil Object!

It was he and that godly sinner who teamed up to overthrow the Rose School of Thought, and even her teacher died in that catastrophe.

An angel came to Backlund secretly!

No wonder Hastur kept reminding himself to be careful and stay in a safe place and not go out.

At the same time, she also understood that the Rose School's target in coming to Backlund this time was definitely not people like herself.

This is what he said: "The city gate is on fire, and the fish in the pond are affected."

"Don't worry, their target is not you. You just need to be careful and hide. If it doesn't work, go to the Church of the Goddess of the Night for help. I believe they don't dare to be too presumptuous, especially the King of Curses."

Bernadette asked Sharon to relax and not be too nervous.

"Do you know why they came to Backlund?"

"Some time ago, they held a divine descending ceremony in West Balang and were destroyed by the Church of Storms, the Church of the Eternal Sun, and the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom. Now they may have come to Backlund to find trouble with the Church of Storms."

Sharon thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "I know them. They won't come to Backlund for a simple reason like revenge. There must be other more important things."

"Maybe they are also looking for believers in the stars." Bernadette sighed.

"Believer of the Stars?"

Sharon looked at Bernadette in confusion. That cute look with a hint of confusion and curiosity made Bernadette extend her sinful hand again, but Sharon dodged it one step ahead.

Bernadette waved her hand and said: "You don't need to know too much. It's very dangerous here. If you hear relevant information in the future, don't inquire about the truth. Just send me a message."

"Is this why you came to Backlund?"

"Part of it is partly because I came to Backlund to relax."

Thinking of what happened some time ago, Bernadette sighed again.

Fortunately, the djinn has been much quieter recently, and the Lord of the Stars rarely disturbs her in the middle of the night, which makes her feel much more relaxed.

"After these people from the Rose School leave, little Sharon, you have to accompany me to take a walk around Backlund."

Bernadette smiled and extended the invitation, but Sharon refused expressionlessly: "I still have a lot of things to do, and I don't have that time."

"I don't know you yet? Apart from being an exquisite doll, you also like to listen to stories every day."

Bernadette joked: "The weather is nice tonight, but I still have a lot of fairy tales here. Do you want to stay and listen to them for a while?"

"No, I don't have time."

Sharon refused directly and was about to leave.

Bernadette shouted, "I have a few more suitable dresses here. Do you want to try them on?"

"..."

Sharon left much faster.

"Little Sharon isn't any cuter than she was before."

Bernadette sighed and stretched out her hand to disperse the fairy tale world around her. A pea vine escorted Sharon away from here.

After Sharon left, the gentle expression on Bernadette's face softened, and there was a faint layer of frost.

She did not tell Sharon that this time the people from the Rose School were most likely coming for her.

Just this afternoon, the first mate who stayed on the Dawn sent word that people from the Rose School were searching everywhere for the whereabouts of the Dawn and its crew, using extremely cruel methods.

Thinking that there are angels from the Rose School infiltrating Backlund, there are 80% to 90% guesses about him.

It was normal for the Rose School to target her. She was just curious, was the divine descending ceremony in Xibailang really that important?

Otherwise, how could the Rose School of Thought adopt a posture of targeting itself at all costs?

She thought again about the Temperance Card that the Djinn said. It was definitely a trap. Even the Djinn advised her not to go there, lest she fall into the trap.

In what way is he valued by the Mother Tree of Desire?

How could He be so targeted?

Is the djinn hiding something?

When he attended the last gathering of stars, did the Djinn make another deal with the Mother Tree of Desire?

Bernadette thought seriously, feeling more and more that the magic wishing lamp was a time bomb that might explode at any time.

Giving it to the Church of the Seven Gods is the best option, but she is currently the owner of the wishing lamp.

Once the wishing lamp falls into the hands of the Church of the Seven Gods, all they have to do is make a wish and she will be doomed.

This is also the reason why she has only threatened the djinn but never actually took action.

Compared to the djinn, the angel from the Rose School seemed less threatening.

Not to mention that this was Backlund, even outside, that angel might not be able to defeat her.

It's better to stay in Backlund for a while first. Even if the evil god really comes, he can still protect himself in Backlund.

……

the next day.

Hastur had breakfast, took a small box containing 5800 gold pounds, and took a carriage to the Bavart Bank.

He successfully deposited 800 gold pounds and looked at the 1000 gold pounds lying on his account with a satisfied smile.

At noon, he met Grek at Backlund Bank and handed Grek a small box filled with 5000 gold pounds.

Greco asked his men to put away the gold pounds and said with a smile: "By collecting this amount of money so quickly, it seems that your financial situation has improved a lot recently."

"In the past two days, the income from the first half of the year has just arrived, and this is how we have this spare money."

"Haha, when are you planning to entertain me?"

"When moving to a new home."

Hastur revealed his recent move to Queens.

"No. 3, King's Avenue. I remember your original address was over at No. 1 Street, right?"

"Well, the house there can't be exchanged for helping the police solve a case."

"The title deed to that mansion should currently be in the hands of Earl Hall."

"??"

Hastur was slightly startled. A nobleman like Count Hall would gamble with Voltaire?

Aren't you afraid of affecting your reputation?

Greco saw Hastur's thoughts and explained with a smile: "Earl Hall bought the mansion from other nobles and let it increase in value. This is just a normal investment."

Hastur was relieved and asked curiously: "How many gold pounds does that house cost?"

Greco held out a finger and said, "Starts at 10 gold pounds."

"..."

Hasta immediately had no idea of ​​buying back this ancestral house.

That was 10 gold pounds. He didn't know how long it would take him to save so much money.

Unless he goes out to burn, kill and loot, it will be difficult for him to earn this amount of money through his own efforts.

"Don't be so anxious, you're still young."

Greco thought for a moment and then lowered his voice and said, "If you can marry Miss Audrey, I think Earl Hall wouldn't mind giving you that mansion as a gift."

"..."

Hasta coughed lightly and said, "Grek, you know, I never like to eat soft food."

"Hasta, Miss Audrey is our most dazzling pearl in Backlund, are you really not tempted?"

"..."

Hastur did not want to continue discussing this issue with Gleick, and instead talked about his plan to open a law firm in Hillston.

Regarding this matter, Gleick was very generous, saying that he had already helped him find a law firm in the Hillston area, and he only needed a lawyer in place to open it immediately.

Gee, it’s nice to have a rich and powerful friend.

Hastur looked at the time and invited: "It's getting late, let's go out for a meal together."

"I don't want to make you poor all at once."

"Well, that makes sense, then I'll go have lunch alone."

"...You will lose me as a friend if you do this."

"A friend lost because of this is not a true friend."

Grek laughed and let Hastur lead the way, getting ready for a good meal.

……

After lunch, Hasta went to Backlund University and borrowed two language books from the library.

One is in the ancient Hermes language and the other is in the Giant language. They are both the works of some old professors from Backlund University who devoted their efforts.

After checking the time, it was still some time before Professor Foulun finished class, so Hasta stayed in the library and read quietly.

It was close to five o'clock in the afternoon when Lecturer Foulun finished his lecture.

The two went to the restaurant together, and when Hastur mentioned that he wanted to open a new law firm in Hillston District, Professor Folan's eyes were full of envy.

When he just graduated from Backlund University, he also wanted to open a law firm in Hillston District, the most prosperous business district in Backlund.

But the fees required are too high, and money alone is not enough, you also need connections. The court will not allow an ordinary lawyer to open a law firm in such a place.

Hasta spread his hands and said: "There is no way, that friend of mine is very good at money making."

Lecturer Foulun came closer and said, "Aren't we two friends too?"

"Well, I think you overestimated my financial situation."

If we really count the current available funds, Lecturer Foulun is definitely richer than him.

Lecturer Foulun wears many hats, including a lecturer at Backlund University, his own law firm, and two other law firms, and is a legal consultant for at least five companies.

The annual income, even if it is not 10000 gold pounds, is definitely more than 5000 gold pounds.

The two talked for a while, and finally Lecturer Foulen said that he could find two suitable lawyers for the newly opened law firm. Adding him and Hasta, there would be four lawyers.

Enough to get through the early stages of a law firm.

Gee, this is the horror of connections.
