Mystery: The Return of the Stars

Haha, you are in a good mood, so I am in a bad mood, right?

Seeing the angry look of the lamp god who dared not punch him, Hastur felt much better.

Sure enough, only the lamp god could divert his troubles.

"Not long ago, I felt an unusual breath in the depths of the starry sky."

The sudden opening of the Mother Tree of Desire made Hastur and the lamp god stunned for a moment.

Has an unknown existence really awakened?

Hastur was also full of question marks. The reason why he said that just now was to find a scapegoat when he destroyed the plan of the lamp god and the mother tree of desire in the future, so as not to expose that he was secretly interfering.

Unexpectedly, the mother tree of desire had already felt the awakening of other existences in the depths of the starry sky, indirectly helping him to round up this topic.

"A breath you have never felt before?" The lamp god also became more serious.

"It should be an existence that has just awakened. He is indescribable. He is like a star wind blowing by. I only had time to feel his breath for a short time."

"Indescribable?"

The lamp god was stunned for a moment. Another part of him was called the uncertain fog, which could also be called indescribable in a sense.

Could it be that the awakened existence was related to himself?

The lamp god looked at Hasta again, and saw that he just smiled and said nothing, and his mood became heavier.

"You didn't say hello to him?"

"He only stayed for a short time outside the initial barrier, and then disappeared into the depths of the starry sky again. According to human timekeeping, he stayed for about three days."

Three days? That's really short.

It is estimated that the time when the Mother Tree of Desire opened its eyes once was more than three days.

The lamp god thought for a while and said: "When did he appear in the starry sky?"

Hasta was also very interested in this question.

The Mother Tree of Desire looked at Hasta and said in a deep voice: "Before you appeared."

Hasta looked normal, unmoved at all. Who knows if this was a test from the Mother Tree of Desire.

The genie also looked at Hastur, and then waited for the next words of the Mother Tree of Desire.

"The breath here is different from His."

The words of the Mother Tree of Desire disappointed the genie, who thought he could catch the fox's tail this time.

"The stars are awakening."

Hasta calmly threw out a profound and unfathomable word.

"..."

It's the Riddler again!

The genie secretly clenched his fist.

The Mother Tree of Desire thought thoughtfully: "Will God also wake up?"

Except for the Fallen Mother Goddess, the other two of the three pillars have fallen long ago. Now Weird is about to wake up and return to their positions, so what about God?

Did He not leave any means of resurrection?

Perhaps He had already begun to wake up in the more distant years.

Hasta smiled but said nothing, which made the Mother Tree of Desire and the genie feel much heavier.

The initial barrier can still last for more than ten years. If either Weird or God fully awakens during this period, it will be much more difficult for them to regain their own path and source than it is now.

Even they themselves may be threatened.

Time is indeed not on their side.

The lamp god said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and complete the transaction, otherwise we will all be their wedding dresses."

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. Hastur glanced at the two of them and said with a smile: "Let's end this gathering here."

Neither the lamp god nor the mother tree of desire objected. Hastur waved the chain of order to send them out of the Hall of Stars.

The empty Hall of Stars, the starry sky above was bright and bright, and the stars seemed to be waking up from their sleep.

Hastur looked solemn, thinking of the mysterious existence that the mother tree of desire had just mentioned.

The nameless one, riding the star wind and galloping here, appeared before himself, appeared quietly and disappeared at a high speed. This should not be a simple coincidence.

That existence, perhaps it is the King in Yellow!

Is it possible that the person who was supposed to be born was the King in Yellow?

But somehow, by coincidence, he replaced the birth of the King in Yellow?

Is this possible?

Hastur shook his head, thinking that this idea was too fantastic.

The other party is the King in Yellow. How can I replace Him?

It would be more credible to say that I am His clone.

Alas, I don't want to think about it anymore. The most important thing is to improve my strength as soon as possible.

Regardless of whether the other party is the King in Yellow or not, and whether I have any destiny, holding power is the most practical way.

...

June 23, Saturday.

In the study, Hastur finally finished the large number of legal provisions that he had to recite during this period.

According to Professor Wayne's standards, he can now become a lawyer, equivalent to a law student who has just graduated from Backlund University.

Hastur closed the book, leaned back in the chair, took a sip of Marquis black tea, and closed his eyes slightly.

Today is June 23, and there are only 5 days left before Klein is born.

He originally thought about whether he should go to Tingen specifically to witness the birthday of the future Mr. Fool.

After thinking about it, he decided to forget it. It would be easy to arouse suspicion if he went to Tingen for no reason, and now Ince Zangwill was holding 0-08 and writing a not-so-stream script there.

If he suddenly barged in, it might alert 0-08 or cause unnecessary changes.

In addition, Mr. A was secretly watching him, so it was safest to stay in Backlund.

Speaking of Mr. A, he has not shown up during this period. According to the news from Xio and Forsi, the extraordinary gathering there has not been held yet.

Maybe Mr. A is being targeted by the Nighthawks and being chased around.

Hastur felt it was a pity. Mr. A’s extraordinary gathering was of a higher level, and it was difficult for Mr. Eye of Wisdom to help him now.

Fortunately, he still has Sharon and Maric.

Of the Sequence 7 briber's extraordinary materials, he now only has the most critical one left, the Crying Baby Flower.

This is a very magical and rare extraordinary material that is basically not available on the market.

According to Sharon's speculation, this extraordinary material is basically in the hands of the Loen royal family or the great nobles.

His best breakthrough is to seek help from Greco.

But Hastur has always regarded looking for Grek's help as a last resort. Now his barbarian has only digested two-thirds, and there is still about a month before it is fully digested. There is still a lot of time to continue searching.

Originally, according to the steps he expected, he would be promoted to Sequence 7 before Klein was born, but the barbarian was very inconsistent with his compatibility, and the potion digestion speed was relatively slow.

Boom, boom, boom.

Butler Negan knocked on the door. Hastur straightened his posture and asked Butler Neil to open the door and come in.

Butler Neil seemed to be in a good mood, with a slight smile on his usually calm face.

Hasta smiled and said, "What good things happened today?"

"The plantations are sending us the first half of this year's earnings."

Hasta suddenly became serious, he finally got the money!

During this period, in order to purchase extraordinary materials and renovate his house in Queens, he basically used up all his extra money, leaving only 200 gold pounds in his bank account.

For a nobleman, this was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Butler Neil stepped forward, placed a small brass box on the desk, and opened it facing the direction of Hastur. Lying quietly inside was a stack of 10 gold pound banknotes. Just by looking at the thickness, you could tell that the stack of money was Very heavy.

Butler Neil smiled and said: "The total is 6,780 pounds."

"good."

Hasta looked at it for a while before slowly spitting out these two words.

"Yes, this year seems to be a good year. The income in the second half of the year may exceed 8,000 gold pounds."

Butler Neil's tone was equally relaxed and cheerful. As a butler, he knew how difficult the financial situation of the Baron in front of him was.

With such a sum of money, the family can hire a dozen more maids and workers, buy a better carriage, and make a few more new clothes for the Baron.

"This is a gift from the goddess to devout believers."

Hastur was very satisfied and drew a crimson moon on his chest.

After feeling happy and excited, Hasta made plans for the use of this huge sum of money.

Among them, he planned to give 5,000 gold pounds to Greco and let him help him invest in stocks. He believed that he would be able to earn back his principal soon.

He left 800 gold pounds and deposited it in the bank, so that the bank deposit amount reached 1,000 gold pounds. This money was regarded as his own private money and was a reserve fund.

The remaining 980 gold pounds were used for household expenses.

It just so happened that it would cost a lot of money to renovate the house in Queens during this time.

You can also hire two more chefs. As for the other workers and maids, let Butler Neil make his own decisions.

After Hastur made the arrangements, Butler Neil took 980 gold pounds from the small box and left.

Hastur looked at a box of gold pounds for a long time, stretched out his hand and touched it gently a few times before closing the box.

Feeling happy, he tapped his fingers on the table.

"With the finances improving so much at once, should we invite Greco and Gray Lint to our house for a banquet?"

Since his birth, almost three months have passed since he was born. He has attended dinner parties held by Gray Lint, Greco, and the royal family. He has not invited anyone to be a guest, which would be too rude.

"Well, we can wait until the new house in Queens is renovated, and then we can invite them together. This way we can have a good name when we treat them to dinner."

"Sharon and Maric will not attend this kind of banquet... Then you can invite them to come here for a small gathering in advance. If there are only three of us, they probably won't refuse."

"There happens to be something I need to tell them."

Hastur thought for a while and felt that this method was more suitable.

He will go to the Brave Bar tonight to inform Maric and Sharon.
