Mystery: The Return of the Stars

late at night.

The Tasok River trickled through in the dark night, and on the bank, Sharon came again.

She looked at the calm river with a calm expression, wondering what she was thinking about.

After waiting for a few minutes, a pea vine drooped from the sky. Sharon stretched out her hand and landed above the clouds.

She is still the same person, the Mysterious Queen. Her dress tonight is much more conservative than before, less personalized, and her elegance contains majesty. She looks more like a princess who has been in a high position for a long time.

Just from a brief look, Sharon knew that the Queen of Mystery was in a bad mood tonight.

If she was in a good mood, she wouldn't dress up like this.

"Little Sharon, your dress is not bad, but don't you like black clothes?"

Bernadette looked at Sharon in front of her with a smile. She still wore the small black hat, and the Gothic palace dress had a little more lively elements than before.

Sharon did not answer the question, but said calmly: "Is this action of the Indulgence Faction directed at you?"

"Well, the evil one has also arrived."

Bernadette put away the smile on her face, and was targeted by a Sequence 1 god. Her situation was much more difficult than before.

Fortunately, this was Backlund, and the evil being was afraid of triggering a divine descent and did not dare to enter rashly. Otherwise, she would probably have to pay a heavy price to escape from him.

Sharon's expression moved slightly, "What exactly did you do?"

"They just revealed to the Church of Storms that they were going to hold a divine descending ceremony in West Balang, which led to the failure of their divine descending ceremony."

When Bernadette said this, she paused slightly and said in a deep voice: "But this is not enough to make that evil creature keep an eye on me. He is still lingering outside Backlund and refuses to leave."

"He only obeys the oracles."

"Have you ever known this god?"

"I don't know. My teacher knows better, but she didn't tell me. She didn't want me to be contaminated."

“Very right choice.”

Bernadette did not continue to talk about this topic, and did not even mention the temperance card.

She knew that Sharon and the others needed the Temperance Card, but it was a trap set by the Mother Tree of Desire. Even she did not dare to go there, let alone Sharon and the others.

"Don't worry about my situation. I'll just take a vacation in Backlund. The food here is very good, much better than at sea."

Sharon looked at her and said calmly: "I'm never worried about your situation. What I'm worried about is that people from the Indulgence Faction will always stay in Backlund."

Bernadette laughed, "Then there's nothing I can do."

"It's you who caused the trouble."

"Little Sharon, what you say is a bit too heartless."

"You need to compensate me for my losses."

"It turns out you came to me if you have something to do. Tell me."

Sharon was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I need a cry baby flower."

Bernadette took two steps closer and said with a slight smile: "I remember that this extraordinary material is used to prepare the Black Emperor Path Sequence 7 Bribery Potion."

"Um."

"Why do you need this?"

"I owe a favor and I have to pay it back."

Bernadette just glanced at Sharon without going into details. She stretched out her hand and a wooden brocade box emerged from the void.

"Take it, this box contains what you need."

"Thanks."

Sharon was not polite and put the brocade box away, then turned to leave.

"Little Sharon, it's really sad that you came to me at night for someone else."

Sharon stopped and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"No."

"..."

Sharon looked stunned for a moment and left without looking back.

Bernadette watched Sharon go away, looked at the stars above her head, and whispered: "Are the stars really watching everything?"

She is now certain that the series of hunts she encountered by the Rose School must be related to the Djinn.

The source of the changes in the djinn came from the mysterious meeting above the stars.

Thinking about the meeting of the Outer God in the past makes people’s scalp numb.

She didn't dare to think deeply, but she was more afraid of the stars.

If you are afraid of the stars and careful of the moon, you also need to be wary of the stars.

Bernadette sighed and stopped thinking about these annoying things. It was better to think about which restaurant to go to tomorrow to enjoy the delicious food.

…

Headache.

The dizziness is rising, and even my thoughts are starting to wander.

Hasta woke up, covered his head, and lay on the bed to rest for more than half an hour before gradually regaining consciousness.

Last night, Greco and Hibbert seemed to have an agreement, so they made him drink a lot of wine. Fortunately, there was a Gray Lint beside him to block him for a while.

Coupled with his savage physique, he was able to stay awake during last night's drinking battle without losing his temper while drunk.

The same could not be said for Gray Linte, who was finally helped upstairs by two servants.

Greco and Hibbert were still in the same state, almost 70 to 80% drunk, so they got into carriages and went home to rest.

According to them, they have to get up early to deal with business today.

"Oh, I still need to practice my drinking ability."

Hastur sighed. In the circle of nobles, socializing is normal, and drinking is even more common.

In order not to make a fool of himself due to drunkenness in the future, he felt that he needed to increase his drinking capacity.

After resting for a while, Hastur got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

The considerate housekeeper Neil had already prepared sweet soup for sobering up, as well as food suitable for eating after being drunk.

Hasta enjoyed the food for a while and asked, "Where is Grellant?"

"Still resting in the guest room upstairs."

"I thought he had gone back. It seems that he can't drink much."

Hasta smiled and thought of a good way to prevent drunkenness.

Grellant is now a pharmacist. It shouldn't be difficult to develop a drug to prevent drunkenness, right?

It's just right to take advantage of his drunkenness this time to persuade him to concentrate on research.

Seeing that Hasta had recovered almost after dinner, housekeeper Neil came to report on the gifts received last night.

Yesterday was the day he moved to a new house, and everyone who attended the dinner basically brought a gift.

Every gift needs to be recorded, and the next time someone moves to a new house, you can give a gift of similar value.

Hasta closed his eyes and listened silently.

Among the gifts sent last night, the gift from Greg was the most valuable. It should be because he knew that his family was shallow, so he specially sent ten antiques so that he could temporarily serve as a facade.

According to Butler Neil's estimate, the total value is at least 5,000 gold pounds.

This is a heavy gift.

The gifts sent by others are very normal, and they are all within the normal range.

The same is true for Hibbert and Audrey. The gifts they sent are worth about 100 gold pounds, which is a normal gift for interpersonal exchanges.

Professor Wayne gave him some good things, three precious ancient books, which are not even collected in the library of Backlund University, and are considered to be unique.

What surprised Hastur was that in addition to the people who attended the banquet last night, he also received three additional gifts.

One was from Mrs. Germanni. If he hadn't suddenly heard Butler Neil mention it, he would have almost forgotten this person, even though she left a deep impression on him.

The other two gifts were unsigned, and even Butler Neil couldn't tell who sent the gifts, as if they appeared out of thin air in the pile of gifts.

Normally, there will be special people to record these gift lists.

But Butler Neil asked the person in charge of this matter last night, and he insisted that he did not receive any unsigned gifts last night.

Hasta asked Butler Neil to bring the two gifts upstairs to the study. He wanted to open them himself and take a look.

He estimated that one of the gifts might be sent by Mr. A.

As for who sent the other gift, he had no idea for a while.

He went upstairs and came to the study. After waiting for a while, someone brought the two gifts.

Gifts, one large and one small.

The small gift was wrapped in a small light gray box, a bit like a box for rings.

Hasta first scanned the circle with his spiritual vision and frowned slightly.

After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Resurrection of extraordinary items is prohibited here!"

After formulating the rules, he opened the box to take a look.

In the small box lay a coat of arms drawn in gold and silver, with a sword blade and bow and arrow carved on the front of the coat of arms.

His spiritual vision had told him that this was an extraordinary item.

At this moment, the surface of the coat of arms was covered with a layer of spiritual seal, and it was tied into a cross star shape with silver wire. As long as the silver wire seal was not destroyed, it was an ordinary coat of arms.

Hasta reached out and turned the emblem over. The back was black iron in color, but some places were stained with light blood.

Put it in the palm of your hand and weigh it gently. It was very heavy, as if it was made of a whole piece of pure iron.

"The breath of war..."

Hasta turned the emblem back to the front again, and touched the carvings of the sword blade and bow and arrow with his fingers. It seemed that there was a war hidden in it.

"Even if Mr. A gave a gift, he would not send such a gift."

"Who sent this gift?"

"He should be kind."

Although Hasta could not find out the specific information of this extraordinary item, he could feel that it was more extraordinary than the rule bell he got some time ago.

After thinking for a while, Hasta put the emblem into the box and took out another gift.

This gift was a long iron box, about 30 cm long, and about 5 cm wide and high.

Hasta opened the outer packaging, and the golden light flashed. After it was completely unpacked, there was actually a golden box hidden in the long iron box!

The golden box had no cuts on it, and it was completely integrated, as if it was forged from a single piece of gold, and it was gleaming with golden light.

A closer look revealed that it looked more like a rectangular golden coffin!

Fuck!

Hastur quickly withdrew his hand and stood up, his face full of alertness and his heart was extremely heavy.

Could this ghost thing be the golden box that the group of extraordinary people in the destiny path were looking for?
