Mystery: The Stars Returner

Early Sunday morning, March 3th.

Hastur woke up and had breakfast, but did not go to Backlund University to study law with Professor Wayne.

He gives himself a day or two off every week to deal with other things.

The things he needs to deal with most at the moment are: walking around to get familiar with Backlund, taking the time to memorize the legal provisions of Loen and other kingdoms, finding ways to digest the lawyer's potion as quickly as possible, and purchasing the extraordinary materials needed by the barbarians.

How to make money is not among these four things.

Making money is something you always have to do.

He returned to the study, took out a blank piece of paper, and wrote down the barbarian's potion formula from memory.

Extraordinary materials: a Kuanghua grass, a solid horn crystal of an earth rhinoceros.

Auxiliary materials: a deep-grained walnut, a lemon balm plant, 10 ml of hydrosol soaked in poplar bark, and 100 ml of spirits.

As for whether there is anything left behind in this potion formula, Hastur is not sure. He is just copying it on a blank piece of paper, preparing to wait for the next extraordinary gathering to take it to the Eye of Wisdom. Check the authenticity for free.

The best way is to sell this potion formula to the lady who is also in urgent need of this potion formula.

If the transaction succeeds, it proves that the barbarian potion formula is correct. If it fails, then he needs to find other methods.

At this time, he envied the soothsayer's extraordinary ability. Not only could he predict good and bad luck, but he could also identify the authenticity of the magic potion formula. It was so useful.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door downstairs.

Hasta frowned slightly, stood up, opened the window and glanced down. There were three people coming, one was a calm middle-aged man, and the other two were strong men accompanying him.

These three people are all strangers. He searched his memory and found no impression of these three people.

And judging from the other party's approach, it didn't look like a normal visit between nobles.

Generally speaking, nobles would not visit directly. They would send an invitation first and ask the host in advance whether they are available.

If the host is free, they will come to visit with some gifts. If not, they will choose another time.

In this regard, Gray Lint and Mrs. Germani are typical examples.

Is the visitor unkind?

Hastur closed the window, thought for a while and decided to go down and meet them for a while.

After all, this is his home. There is no reason why the owner would not dare to see outsiders.

Put on your coat, take a cane that is heavy enough, and wave it a few times to make sure that the cane can knock out a big bag.

Go down the stairs, walk through the living room, and open the door as if you're going out for a long trip.

When the leading middle-aged man saw Hastur appearing, he took off his hat and said, "Good morning, Baron Campbell. Please forgive our intrusion."

"You are indeed very rude, especially when I am not familiar with you at all."

Hastur did not look down upon the middle-aged man.

He smiled awkwardly and said: "I forgot to introduce myself, Andrew Wilson, Voltaire's good friend."

"Oh, are you a gambling buddy that we get along well with?"

Hastur's tone was even more unkind. Voltaire Campbell had been dead for several years, and yet someone still came to see him.

A coldness flashed in the depths of Andrew's eyes, and he said with a smile: "It's not wrong to say that. We know that Baron Voltaire has sadly passed away, and we should not bother him again, but there is a gambling debt that we have not yet settled. "

Now, Hastur was able to confirm that the three people in front of him came to his home to extort money.

He probably saw that his family was in dire straits, so he came here to extort the last money.

It may also be that they received news that they had recently borrowed 2000 pounds from Gray Lint.

Hastur also smiled and said: "Mr. Andrew, you must not be familiar with Loen's laws, right?"

Andrew looked a little ugly and said: "We have an IOU written by Baron Voltaire himself!"

As he spoke, he asked a strong man behind him to take out a piece of IOU written in black and white from his handbag.

It clearly states that Voltaire Campbell borrowed 2000 pounds from Mr. Andrew Wilson because he lost in gambling, and there is a notary's name at the bottom.

"Haha, regardless of whether this IOU is true or false, even if it is true, according to Loen's laws, gambling debts will be canceled after death. An IOU arising from a gambling game does not have legal significance." Haha. Star looked disapproving.

Andrew put away his smiling expression and said in a serious tone: "This IOU is real. As the heir of Baron Voltaire, shouldn't you pay off the debt for your father?"

"Oh, Mr. Andrew, do you need me to say it again? This IOU has no legal significance. I don't need to repay a debt that came out of nowhere."

Andrew's face turned completely dark, and he said fiercely: "Aren't you afraid that we will do something extraordinary for the sake of the 2000 pounds of debt?"

As soon as the words fell, the two strong men stepped forward at the same time, gearing up, with cruel smiles on their lips.

Hastur remained unmoved and sighed: "Are you planning to threaten a noble in broad daylight?"

"Very good! Let's go!"

Andrew glared at Hastur for a few times, then led the two strong men away.

This is the West District, where many powerful people and wealthy businessmen live, and the public security is very good.

Once they make trouble here, no matter whether they succeed or not, they will be held accountable and then sent to the gallows for extorting nobles. After all, no nobles and wealthy businessmen are not afraid of problems with public security.

Hastur watched them leave, raising the corners of his mouth slightly, and murmured: "They are indeed a group of legally illiterate people who don't understand the law."

What he just said about gambling and losing money after death was just something he made up casually. He didn't know if such a legal provision really existed.

They made it up to deceive, and the effect was really good. These people obviously thought that they were alone and easy to bully, so they wanted to defraud them out of a sum of money.

With an IOU that came out of nowhere, they wanted him to pay a huge fortune of 2000 pounds. Do they think they are too rich, or do they think too well?

If making money was so easy, why would anyone take the risk to rob a bank?

Hastur cursed a few times in his mind, then closed the door, locked it, and then returned to the study on the second floor.

The episode that just happened made him more eager to master the power.

That Mr. Andrew, you can tell at a glance that he is not a good person. Maybe there is a professional team or gang behind them.

With his current strength, it would be terrible if he was beaten by them.

Lawyers still lack the means to attack.

Maybe he should also get a pistol, but then he would need to practice his shooting accuracy.

This is another considerable expense.

"Look again, as long as we don't leave the West District casually, they will never dare to act rashly."

"Of course, we also need to be careful of extreme situations where they become evil and cowardly."

"Perhaps when entering the Hall of Stars tonight, it's time to write down an order and rules that can ensure your own safety."

Hasta thought about it, took another blank piece of paper, and tried to formulate a rule that could protect himself.

Write directly: “Order is conscious collective understanding, and rules are mandatory control and obedience.

For a reasonable and effective new order, the new rules should conform to at least one of them, or both. "

After writing this, Hastur stopped writing, a little embarrassed.

The best way to protect yourself is to make a rule that you will never be harmed.

But is this description too vague?

In the legal provisions that represent rules, each law is very specific and clear, and there will be no ambiguity or vague descriptions.

After thinking for a long time, Hasta picked up the pen and wrote another paragraph: "Clear the main body of the rule, the purpose to be achieved, the affirmative tone that it will definitely take effect, and the evasive words to minimize the occurrence of other accidents."

This simple template made Hastur's thinking much clearer in an instant.

For example, make a rule so that you will never get hurt.

It can be described like this: "Hasta Campbell, a traveler from another world, the last heir of the Campbell family, will never be harmed by any life-threatening injuries at any time and anywhere! This rule will be used as a rule. A reasonable and correct way to take effect!”

Among them, the three directional descriptions of Hastur Campbell, a traveler from another world, and the last heir of the Campbell family, are the main subjects of clear rules.

No matter when and where, these two sentences "never" are an affirmative tone that will definitely take effect.

The goal of this rule is to avoid any life-threatening injuries.

Reasonable and correct are evasive words to prevent other accidents from happening.

Hastur read the first rule he tried to write several times and found that there were still quite a few problems with the description of this rule.

Is the requirement of being unable to be harmed too strict?

What counts as a life-threatening injury?

Is it not life-threatening harm to imprison you until you starve to death?

Can reasonable and correct methods really play an evasive role?

Is it the right and reasonable way to turn you directly into an evil god?

In fact, there are still many details that can be slowly pondered and modified.

He also found that it was much easier to formulate a rule if he did not make himself the subject of the rule.

For example, he could make a rule like this: "Under the starry sky, there is no more true God or the old days!"

Such rules suddenly become simple and clear.

But such rules obviously have no effect on me now.

Moreover, he is only Sequence 9 now, so this rule is destined to be impossible to realize. Unless he is promoted to True God or the Old One, it is possible to make this rule come true.
