Mystery: The Stars Returner

In the early morning, two invitations were placed on the table, one on the left and one on the right.

The overall black color exudes luxury, and the light yellow invitation card is embroidered with more than a dozen red roses, and is carefully sprayed with rose essence, giving it a fragrant aroma.

The black invitation came from Gray Lint, inviting him to attend a small party in his villa tonight, saying that he wanted to introduce an extraordinary person to him.

The rose invitation came from Mrs. Gemani, who also invited him to attend the banquet in the evening. The writing also revealed a touch of deep longing and a little sadness.

He seemed like a heartless man.

Which banquet to attend was not a difficult decision. What was difficult was that he didn't really want to reply to Mrs. Gemani.

But not replying was really too rude for a nobleman.

But once he replies, Hasta is sure that he will receive invitations from Mrs. Germani every once in a while.

Maybe it's not just a separate banquet invitation, but maybe some explicit and ambiguous words.

"It's also a worry to be too good-looking."

Hastur sighed, drank the last sip of milk, cleared the table a little, and went upstairs with two invitations.

In the study, he took up a pen and wrote a reply to Mrs. Gemani.

First, I thanked her for her sincere invitation, and then I wrote that I couldn't attend the meeting because I couldn't spare the time.

It is simple and clear, never sloppy, and will not give Mrs. Germani any chance of possible ambiguity.

As for Gray Linte's invitation, he had no intention of writing a reply. When the time came in the evening, he would just go directly to the villa for the meeting.

After settling the matter, he put on a set of decent clothes and went out carrying a bag of laundry.

If he wasn't afraid that his hand-washing skills wouldn't be up to par, he would also want to save some money.

But the problem of cleaning the white shirt and tie was really difficult for him to deal with, so it was easier to leave it to professionals.

As for whether this would seem too shabby?

Hastur didn't care about this at all. Anyway, everyone knew that Voltaire Campbell had ruined his family fortune to the point where he could no longer maintain the dignity of a nobleman.

I spent 6p again to go to Backlund University. Professor Wayne's lectures were as good as ever.

He rarely talks about specific legal provisions in class, but mainly explains to Hastur how to appeal and make judgments when encountering some special cases, as well as some tips on how to persuade judges and juries.

As for the specific legal provisions, he asked himself to go to the library to borrow books and read them.

After class, Hasta went to the on-campus restaurant to eat as usual. It was good quality and cheap, and he could relive his student days. There was no better arrangement than this.

After solving the problem of food and clothing, Hasta went to the library of Backlund University, preparing to stay in the library all afternoon.

This was so as not to meet Mrs. Germani again at the court this afternoon.

Some of Loen's legal provisions are very old, barbaric and have strong characteristics of the old times, but some of the legal provisions are very interesting.

For example, stealing is an extremely serious crime. No matter what the reason is, even if you are about to starve to death, you cannot steal. Anyone caught committing a crime will be hanged.

There is a serious lack of empathy, and naturally there is no moral bottom line.

The act of killing can be divided into many situations.

When people without status kill people, one life is basically worth one life.

If a person of some status kills a person, he may consider using money to atone for his crime.

Killings by powerful people are divided into several categories, but generally speaking, they are all conducive to the powerful getting away without guilt.

There are also some special circumstances, such as self-defense in times of danger, encountering burglars, etc. In these cases, you can basically be acquitted without even going to jail.

When it comes to issues involving the Church of the Seven Gods, the Law of Loen is a step below itself, rather like the divine right of kings.

Of course, on the surface it just means respecting freedom of belief.

While flipping through the books, Hastur got a general understanding of the kingdom of Loen.

In his view, there is no doubt that Loen's laws are rough and barbaric, but compared to the laws of other kingdoms, Loen is at the forefront and is at the forefront of the times.

For example, the level of civilization reflected in its laws in Fusac, where the Church of the God of War is located, is at least a hundred years behind Loen.

……

As night fell, all the lights were on in Gray Lint's luxurious villa, and about a dozen guests came, enjoying food and wine.

Hastur arrived on time and saw that Gray Lint was busy chatting with other nobles, so he did not come forward to disturb him and just continued to carry the dinner plate and choose from the dazzling array of food.

Well, he hasn't had dinner tonight.

After eating some staple food, he went straight to the dessert area.

Since coming to the mysterious world, in order to save money, he has to hurry up and leave every time he passes by the dessert shop.

I’m just afraid that I can’t control my urge to eat desserts.

On the white tablecloth, there are various desserts, including cream cakes, ice cream, waffles, puddings...

With a smile on his face, Hasta selected a few tempting-looking desserts and walked to a place not far away, enjoying the desserts while observing the guests attending tonight's meeting.

After finishing one round, he poured a glass of wine to taste, and then continued to select a plate of desserts.

Rather than dealing with those unfamiliar nobles, it was more in line with him to enjoy the delicious food quietly.

Another person who had the same idea as him was a woman who also loved desserts. Hasta counted her and found that she had eaten four rounds of desserts in less than twenty minutes.

The lady was about twenty-three years old, 1.65 meters tall, wearing an orange stand-up collared dress with ruffles, her brown hair was slightly curly, her facial features were delicate and small, and her light blue eyes were slightly slender. Look playfully at other guests at the meeting.

Seeing Hastur's gaze, she looked back, smiled politely, and then walked to the other side, avoiding Hastur's gaze.

"Isn't that lady the Salted Fish Forsi?"

An idea came to Hastur's mind, but he did not come forward to deal with it. He still watched the banquet quietly.

Half an hour later, after dealing with the other guests, Gray Lint came to Hastur with a smile. After a few words of greeting, he whispered: "Tonight I will invite a real extraordinary person. I will invite you later." Let me lead you to meet me."

"Is it a lady?"

"Hey, you already know?"

"I just have a feeling. After all, I am also pursuing the extraordinary, and I have a certain understanding of people like them."

"When you become an extraordinary person, don't forget to help me."

"It's natural."

The two had a brief exchange, and Gray Lint led Hastur to the lady.

Gray Lint introduced: "Ms. Fors is an outstanding writer. Each of her works reflects her wisdom and ingenuity that are far beyond ordinary people."

Sure enough, it was Forsi's salted fish.

Hasta's heart moved slightly, but he did not show any abnormality. He just smiled and said: "It is my honor to know a writer who is both beautiful and intelligent."

"This is the current heir of the Campbell family, Baron Hastur Campbell. He is knowledgeable and has studied many languages. Now he is studying the law seriously."

Gray Lint made a timely introduction to Hastur.

Forsi just smiled and nodded without saying anything. He looked a little cold and proud.

Hastur knew that this was just an appearance, and she was simply too lazy to waste unnecessary words.

"You can chat first. After I see off a few guests, we can go to the study to talk in detail."

Gray Lint left, leaving Hastur and Forsi alone.

“The desserts here taste pretty good, especially the cream cake. The cream is sweet but not greasy and melts in your mouth. It’s a rare treat.”

Hasta didn't expect Forsi to take the initiative to deal with him, so he could only bring up the topic of dessert to avoid an awkward moment.

Forsi's eyes brightened and he smiled: "The cream cake is indeed not bad, but I prefer the ice cream tonight. It fills my mouth with a sweet taste."

No, tonight's ice cream is clearly too sweet, so sweet that it's cloying. If the score is ten points, then this ice cream can only get three points, which means it fails at all.

Hastur retorted in his mind, but said with his mouth: "That is indeed not bad. Viscount Graylint has always been a very generous person, especially when it comes to food."

With the topic of desserts unfolding, the two of them were no longer as strangers as they were at first. After chatting for a while, they each took another plate of desserts and chatted while eating.

During the chat, Forsi was surprised to find that Baron Campbell's understanding of some occult knowledge was better than hers.

And no matter what aspect of the occult she talked about, he was able to keep up with his own thinking and provide some interesting and insightful insights.

This Baron Campbell is really not simple.

No wonder Viscount Graylint said that he had tried to perform a resurrection ceremony.

That was a taboo area that she didn't even dare to touch.

The two chatted for a long time, and the topic somehow came to Emperor Russell.

Hasta's eyes were full of smiles and he said: "I am an admirer of Emperor Russell. If Ms. Fors has the corresponding original manuscript, I can buy it for 50 pounds a piece."

50 pounds a ticket?

Forsi's eyes lit up. This was a very good deal. Anyway, she couldn't understand a single word of those words that were like a heavenly book.

Rather than keeping it as waste paper in your own hands, you might as well sell it and make a small profit.

She agreed to the deal immediately and waited until the next time she came to Gray Lint for the two parties to make a deal.

Hastur picked up the wine glass and said with a somewhat profound look: "Happy transaction."

"Happy Trading."

Forsi's lips curled up slightly, and he was also very satisfied with this transaction.
