Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 11 Attempts to Make New Rules

Sunday morning, March 3.

Hastur woke up and had breakfast, and 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 the most right now are: walking around to familiarize himself with Backlund, hurrying up to memorize the legal provisions of Ruen and other kingdoms, trying to digest the lawyer's potion as soon 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 that should always be done.

He went back to his study, fetched a blank sheet of paper, and wrote down the barbarian's potion formula from memory.

Extraordinary material: a stalk of crazy grass, the solid unicorn crystal of the earth rhinoceros.

Auxiliary materials: one deep-grained walnut, one lemon balm, 10ml of pure dew soaked from poplar bark, 100ml of spirits.

As for whether there is anything left in this potion formula, Hasta is not sure. He is just copying it on a blank piece of paper now, and he is going to give it to the Eye of Wisdom at the next Extraordinary Gathering. Check it out 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 was successful, it would prove that the barbarian potion formula was correct. If it failed, then he would need to find other methods.

At such times, he was very envious of the extraordinary ability of fortune tellers. They could not only predict good and bad fortune, but also identify the authenticity of potion formulas. It was so easy to use.

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

Hastur frowned slightly, got up and 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 very strange, and he has searched all over his memory, but he has no impression of these three people.

And judging by the situation of the other party, it doesn't look like normal visits between nobles.

Generally speaking, the nobles would not visit directly. They would send an invitation first and ask the host if they were free.

If the host's house is free, they will come to visit with a little gift, if not, they will choose another time.

In this regard, Greint and Mrs. Gemani 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, so there is no reason why the owner dare not meet outsiders.

Put on the coat, take a heavy enough cane, and wave it lightly a few times to confirm that this cane can knock out a big bag.

Go down the stairs, walk through the living room, and open the door as if you are going on a journey.

Seeing Hastur appearing, the middle-aged man in the lead took off his hat and said: "Good morning, Baron Campbell, please forgive us for disturbing us."

"You guys are really rude, especially since I'm not familiar with you at all."

Hastur did not give the middle-aged man a good look.

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

"Oh, are you a good gambler?"

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

A coldness flashed deep in Andrew's eyes, and he said with a smile: "It's not wrong to say that, we know that Baron Voltaire has passed away with regret, and we shouldn't bother him anymore, but there is a gambling debt that we haven't settled yet. "

Now, Hastur has been able to confirm that the three people in front of him came to his house to extort money.

It is estimated that seeing that his family has fallen, they rushed to extort the last sum of money.

It may also be that they received news that they recently borrowed 2000 pounds from Greint.

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

Andrew said with an ugly face: "We have an IOU written by Baron Voltaire himself!"

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

It clearly stated that Voltaire Campbell had lost a bet and borrowed 2000 pounds from Mr. Andrew Wilson, and there was a notary's name at the bottom.

"Hehe, regardless of whether this IOU is true or not, even if it is true, it will be judged according to Loen's law. If a person dies, his gambling debt will be wiped out. An IOU generated due to gambling does not have legal significance." Haha Star looked disapproving.

Andrew put away his smiling expression, and said in a more serious tone: "This IOU is real. As the heir to Baron Voltaire, shouldn't you repay 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 darkened completely, and he said viciously: "Aren't you afraid that we will do something out of the ordinary for the 2000 pounds owed?"

After the words fell, the two strong men took a step forward at the same time, gearing up, with cruel smiles hanging from the corners of their mouths.

Hastur was still unmoved, and sighed: "Are you planning to threaten a nobleman in broad daylight?"

"Very good! Let's go!"

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

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

Once they make trouble here, no matter whether they are successful or not, they will be held accountable and then sent to the gallows for extorting nobles. After all, there is no noble or wealthy businessman who is not afraid of public security problems.

Hastur watched them leave, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he murmured: "Sure enough, they are a group of law-blind people who don't understand the law."

What he said just now is that people's death bets against their debts, he just invented it casually, and he doesn't know whether such a legal provision really exists.

Make it up to cheat, the effect is really good, these people are obviously looking at themselves alone and easy to bully, thinking of defrauding a sum of money.

Holding an IOU that came out of nowhere, they want him to pay a huge fortune of 2000 pounds. Are they thinking too much of themselves, or too beautiful?
If it was so easy to make money, who would take the risk of robbing a bank?
Hastur cursed a few words in his heart, then closed the door, locked it again, and then returned to the study on the second floor.

The episode that happened just now made his desire to master power even more urgent.

That Mr. Andrew, at a glance, knew that it was not a good thing. Maybe there was a professional team or gang behind them.

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

Lawyers still lack the means to attack.

Maybe I should also be equipped with a pistol, but then I need to practice shooting accuracy.

That's another big expense.

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

"Of course, we also need to beware of the extreme situation where they are acting on the edge of courage."

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

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

Write directly: "Order is a conscious collective understanding, and rules are mandatory domination and obedience.

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

After writing this, Hastur stopped writing, feeling a bit difficult.

The best way to protect yourself is to make a rule that you will never get hurt.

But is this description too vague?
In the legal texts representing the rules, each law is very specific and clear, and there will be no ambiguous or vague descriptions.

After thinking for a long time, Hastur took up the pen and wrote a paragraph: "Clarify the subject of the rules, the purpose you want to achieve, the affirmative tone that will inevitably take effect, and minimize the evasion words that cause other accidents."

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

Like making a rule that you never get hurt.

It can be described like this: "Hasta Campbell, a traveler from another world, the last heir of the Campbell family, no matter when and where, he will never be harmed by any life-threatening injuries! A reasonable and correct way to take effect!"

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

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

Not to be harmed by any life-threatening injuries is what this rule wants to achieve.

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

Hastur looked at the first rule he tried to write several times, and found that there were still many problems in the description of this rule.

Is the requirement of not being able to be harmed too strict?
What counts as a life-threatening injury?

Locking you up until you starve to death, isn't that considered a life-threatening injury?

Can a reasonable and correct method really play a evasive role?

Turning you directly into an evil god is not also a correct and reasonable way?

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

He also found that making a rule is much easier if you don't make yourself the subject of the rule.

For example, he can formulate such a rule: "Under the starry sky, there are no true gods and old days!"

Such a rule becomes simple and clear all of a sudden.

But such a rule obviously has no effect on the current self.

Moreover, he is only Sequence 9 now, this rule is destined to be impossible to realize, unless he is promoted to True God or the old days, it is possible to make this rule come true.
