Hunting High School

"Who are you?"

"Great Hastur!"

"Very few people call themselves great."

"... Hastur."

"...Where is this place?"

"Land favored by the great Hastur!"

"But you said earlier, this is my The Underworld?"

"To greedy souls, this is the real Underworld. To those of faith, it's just a wilderness. Only those who lack neither reason nor luck can step out of this unreal."

Zheng Qing stood under the huge bronze door, and a man in yellow with a white mask stood in front of him. The two asked and answered questions, very much like the interaction between a scholar studying and a lecturer.

If not for those tentacles squirming behind the mist.

From the corner of Zheng Qing's eyes, he caught sight of those squirming shadows, and his eyes immediately felt a tingling sensation, as if he was facing the icy cold wind in winter. exist.

Zheng Qing knew about the name 'Hasta'. Ever since he killed a descendant of Tsatogua in the Silent River, and then dealt with Nicholas and the Hound of Tindalos one after another, the young public servant has made up some taboo knowledge about the depths of the starry sky, and he is proficient in many foreign gods title.

Hastur is one of them.

His more widely known titles are 'King of Yellow Clothes' and 'Lord of Star Sea in Deep Space'. It is said that Cthulhu is his brother and Shab Nicholas is his spouse. Anyone who sees him will suffer bad consequences. Either crazy, or Death.

Regarding the last point, Zheng Qing is skeptical, but will never ignore it.

He touched a few amulets hanging on his body again, felt the warmth from the amulets, and felt a little bit of comfort in his heart: "It sounds a bit complicated...but you, are you really Hastur? According to me As we all know, His Royal Highness Hastur belongs to the starry sky."

This sentence vaguely reminded the other party that there is a long distance between the starry sky and the present world, and there is also a powerful magic agreement blocking it. The Alliance will not allow an Outer God to appear in the world wantonly.

But as soon as the words came out, Zheng Qing immediately regretted it.

Because these are two questions.

At the same time as he said this, the handful of golden beans in his hand disappeared immediately. In addition to the two gemstones that disappeared before, Zheng Qing felt very distressed.

"I am Hastur, but the great Hastur is not me." The king in yellow first corrected a little error in the understanding of the young wizard, and then added: "Besides, this is a dreamland, not the real world, and more Not Phuket."

In addition to Zheng Qing's heartache, there was also a little bit of confusion in his heart.

"Is and is not" is a very clear statement for the wizards-the other party is an incarnation of the great His Royal Highness Hastur.

Although the existences wandering in the depths of the starry sky cannot come to this world, it does not mean that they have nothing to do with reality. They may have younger generations who need to be taken care of; they may have believers who worship them; they may also need to trade magic materials with the great wizards on the ground to get what they need.

And the agreement between the wizard and the starry sky clearly limits their coming.

So there is the avatar.

Coming to this world with projection, incarnation, or even descendants has become the safest choice for many Outer Gods. The descendant of Satogua entrenched in the quiet river bend, the black goat cub who once appeared in the northern part of Beta Town, and the existence in yellow robes in front of him belonged to this kind of choice.

With this trance, Zheng Qing also recalled more things about the incarnation of Hastur—about this, Zheng Qing saw two completely different explanations in the book.

There is a saying that Hastur originated from the sea, so the real body has some octopus characteristics. It is a water-dwelling creature with huge tentacles. When it descends, it is accompanied by an evil purple light that seems not to belong to the world. His avatar is called the 'Reveler of the Faraway', a wrinkled black flying creature with sharp claws and tentacles.

Most of the images in the wizarding world about the existence in the depths of the starry sky are similar to this, and their reliability is doubtful.

According to another version, Hastur was a kind shepherd god, dressed in rags, quick in movement but with unearthly grace. In this form, He sometimes takes the form of a mysterious Saint in a tattered robe of shimmering green, known as the Emerald Lama.

Yellow robes, lamas and gods, these elements of belief add up, and Zheng Qing can only think of one word, Atlas. He very much suspected that Hastur had some sort of mysterious connection to the Atlas Academy.

But he is not a student of Atlas College, and he is not good at pulling relationships.

The young wizard raised his head and looked around - if this is really a place favored by the great Hastur, then why did he pull himself in?

"You said before," he calculated the number of gems and golden beans in his hand, carefully glanced at the white soft mask under the hood of the man in yellow, and said cautiously: "I can take Zhu Si away safely. Dreamland?"

He bit the word "safe" very hard.

Hastur's avatar did not answer immediately.

He lowered his head and looked at Zheng Qing for a long time. The wizard who had been looking at him was covered in hairs and his back was dripping with cold sweat, before he spoke again: "If you accept my gift."

"Gift?" The wizard repeated the word with some anxiety.

The gift from the depths of the starry sky is the gift that wizards most desire and fear most.

The desire lies in that the gifts in the depths of the starry sky are very precious, which can easily make an ordinary wizard with ordinary qualifications become a great wizard, and even allow a great wizard to break through the legendary bottleneck.

Fear is because "all the gifts from fate have been secretly priced". The more you gain, the more you lose—similar to Mundell's paradox in the law of transformation, when a wizard accepts the power from the starry sky, he will pay the price for his appearance, form, reason, and even himself.

"Do I have any other choices?" The young wizard asked with a hint of luck, and at the same time reminded: "My husband is very powerful, even more powerful than ancient wizards!"

There was an odd laugh from under the soft white mask.

"This is a place outside the law, even Azathoth, who has become the source of all things, can't touch it." The voice of Hastur's incarnation became very gentle: "Your husband may be very powerful, but it is difficult to find here for a while." ...and precisely because He is so powerful, you should feel more at ease with this gift, shouldn't you?"

Zheng Qing suddenly felt that what the man in yellow said made sense.

Since Mr. can reverse time and space and bring death back to life, it shouldn't be a problem to eliminate the pollution from the depths of the starry sky.

and.

From the corner of Zheng Qing's eyes, he glanced at the huge tentacles that spread around the edge of the fog and surrounded him. Seeing their rolling and threatening looming, he smiled wryly in his heart.
