Mystery: The Return of the Stars

When he woke up in the morning, Hasta was in a pretty good mood. Last night's party allowed him to learn many secrets from the Mother Tree of Desire.

Especially the golden box thing.

The attempt to guide Bernadette also went smoothly. I could really communicate with Bernadette alone without the prying eyes of the djinn.

This gave him a direction.

He has been worried about how to deal with the matter between Mr. Door and the Fallen Mother Goddess.

If the relationship between Mr. Men and the Fallen Mother Goddess is regarded as the relationship between Bernadette and the Djinn, can she try to communicate with Mr. Men while isolating the Fallen Mother Goddess?

Or simply drag Mr. Men to the Hall of Stars for a meeting as a fallen mother goddess?

He had this idea when he first arrived at the Palace of Stars. The exchange with Bernadette last night gave him a vague glimpse of the key points.

But he would not try it easily, at least he would have to wait until he was promoted to a high rank.

Take a shower and go downstairs to enjoy some delicious food.

Butler Neil sent two invitations, one from Mrs. Germani and one from Earl Richard who lived nearby.

There is no need to think about where to go for the meeting.

At around nine o'clock, Hastur arrived at Earl Richard's house in a carriage.

He originally wanted to walk here directly, but considering that he had to go to the law office in the afternoon, it was more convenient to take a carriage.

Earl Richard welcomed his arrival and came to the door to greet him.

When he entered Earl Richard's house, Hastur silently turned on his spiritual vision and scanned around to make sure there was nothing unusual before following Earl Richard through the door and into the hall.

Earl Richard said awkwardly: "After the last lesson, I seriously studied a lot of occult knowledge. I also specially invited the bishop of St. Samuel's Church to come to my place and asked him to help perform an exorcism and blessing for the entire house. ”

"How much does it cost to exorcise evil spirits and give a blessing?"

"...It is a donation, an act of piety to the goddess, and cannot be measured simply by money."

Hastur smiled and did not continue to ask. According to his estimate, the cost of hiring a bishop was about 500 gold pounds.

Earl Richard is obviously richer than himself, and he has recently converted to worship the goddess of the night. He may donate 1,000 gold pounds to round up the figure.

It is still easiest for the church to make money.

After Hastur chatted with Earl Richard for a few words, he asked him the purpose of inviting him as a guest today.

He didn't believe that Earl Richard just came here to thank him for helping him last time.

Earl Richard lowered his voice and said embarrassedly: "I dreamed about my Lord again recently."

"?!"

Hastur immediately became alert, knowing that Earl Richard was not a simple guy.

It’s only been more than a month since the last big toad, right?

Now there is another Lord. Even if he is really the one favored by God, the gods will not live in his dreams every night and guide him forward, right?

Earl Richard knew what Hastur was thinking from his expression, and hurriedly explained: "You misunderstood, this time the Lord did not talk to me, He just showed a vague shadow,"

"Is it another toad? Or is it another small animal?"

"..."

Earl Richard was stunned for a while, then smiled bitterly and said: "This time it's not an animal, he is the Lord, the god who gives all living creatures sleep."

Although he did not want to undermine Earl Richard's faith, Hastur still adhered to the principle of honesty and said: "Is there a possibility that the gods are not so free?"

"But I think that's the Lord."

"People are very good at self-deception, especially when it comes to dreams. Maybe you just dream about the so-called Lord because you think too much."

"..."

Earl Richard remained silent. He also knew that this matter was too unbelievable, so he came to Hastur to discuss it.

"Graylint is concentrating on researching some medicines recently. You can go to him to get some soothing medicines to try. This will ensure your sleep quality."

"Thank you for the offer."

Earl Richard could only smile bitterly and nodded.

After thinking for a while, Hastur said seriously: "In mysticism, don't keep thinking about things about gods. This can easily affect people's minds and eventually lead to contamination without even realizing it. If you don't want to attract another one, If you’re a big toad, try not to think too much.”

Earl Richard expressed his gratitude for such heartfelt advice and left Hastur to have lunch at home before watching Hastur leave.

"If I don't pursue the gods, wouldn't it be meaningless for me to step into the extraordinary world?"

Earl Richard sighed and decided to let nature take its course. Maybe this time the Lord was really a kind god.

…

In the afternoon, Hasta came to the law office in Hillston District.

Inside the law firm, Lecturer Foulun is very busy. With the newly opened business and the dozens of cases, he needs to sort out a lot of information. The other two lawyers have already gone out to handle the cases.

The arrival of Hasta made Lecturer Foulun’s eyes light up, and he quickly pulled Hasta to help organize the information.

Hasta asked curiously, "Why not recruit more lawyers?"

"It's too wasteful to let lawyers do things like sorting out information. I'm going to recruit a few assistants."

"fair enough."

He was busy at the law office until six o'clock, and then Hasta escaped by having dinner.

He couldn't maintain as much energy as Lecturer Foulen about this kind of thing.

Before leaving, he picked up a case and planned to go home to study it.

After returning home, Greylint had someone deliver a letter.

The letter said that he had developed a drug that could prevent drunkenness, and asked him to come over when he had time.

This was good news.

It also mentioned that this Friday, which is tomorrow, he was going to invite Audrey, Fors, and Hugh to have an extraordinary party together.

After reading the letter, Hasta wrote a reply, saying that he would be there on time.

According to the time, Miss Audrey should have become a spectator, as well as the future fantasy dog.

Susie has already entered the extraordinary world, should he speed up and find an extraordinary animal that suits his heart as soon as possible.

After thinking about it, he felt that it would be more appropriate to raise an extraordinary cat.

Cats have the potential to find out information, similar to private detectives, and he can let it help him collect information in the future.

As for which extraordinary path the cat should choose, he will wait until he meets a cat he likes, and then choose according to its personality.

Hasta asked Butler Neil where he could buy a suitable cat.

After understanding, he looked at the time and it was a bit late.

The next day, Hasta took a carriage and went straight to the place that Butler Neil mentioned.

This is a trading market located in the East District, where many cats and dogs can be sold, and there are even more unique pets such as lizards, snakes, spiders, etc.

Hasta did not go directly to the place where cats are sold, but walked slowly from stall to stall.

If he met other very suitable pets, he might give up raising cats and cultivate other pets instead.

Unfortunately, after a round of walking, he did not find a particularly suitable pet, so he went to a specialty store that sells pet cats.

The owner was very enthusiastic to introduce him and popularize a lot of knowledge about raising pet cats.

Hasta kept a gentle smile on his face and listened silently, his eyes swept across the pet cats.

He frowned slightly, not very satisfied.

He only had three requirements for pet cats. One is that they must be beautiful and pretty. Beautiful little things are pleasing to the eye.

The second is that they must be smart and sensitive. If the IQ is too low and too stupid, it is estimated that the brain will burst directly when taking the potion.

The third is that the personality must be good. The types of bravery and irritability are not considered.

He didn't want to have a little guy who would always spit out sweet words around him.

The pet cats here are still more inclined to ordinary working-class families. Although the price is not expensive, the quality is just average.

Hastur then went to several pet stores, but he didn't find a little guy that suited his taste.

He could only give up temporarily. It's better to let fate take it.

Or ask Miss Audrey, she may have a deeper understanding in this regard.

...

In the evening, at Grallint's house.

Audrey came in with a brisk pace, and her happy mood made the smile on her face more charming.

Following the servants to the party's study, all the party members were already there, waiting for her.

Audrey came in and greeted them one by one, and then sat opposite Hastur, next to Fors.

Grallint asked curiously: "Audrey, have you encountered anything happy recently?"

Ah, is it so obvious?

It's just taking the potion and becoming a real audience. Audrey, you can't be too proud.

Audrey muttered to herself and smiled, "Well, Susie, take it out to play in the afternoon, it has caused a lot of interesting things."

"I also want to have a puppy like Susie."

Glennette smiled and praised, looking up at Susie lying at Audrey's feet, his expression stunned for a moment.

I don't know if it was his illusion, he could feel that Susie seemed to have become particularly smart today.

Audrey's right foot kicked Susie's belly slightly, asking her to pay attention and not to arouse Glennette's suspicion.

Susie turned around slowly, her tail wagging in the direction of Glennette, her head lying on her two front legs, her ears quietly drooping.

Glennette retracted his gaze, Audrey smiled, and quickly put herself into the state of the audience.
