Mystery: The Stars Returner

Late at night, during rest.

The person in charge of Keton's caravan only assigned Hastur and Sharon a waterproof tent in the wild. Inside the tent were only two simple sheepskin blankets that were stained with black spots and stained with yellow turbidity.

There is also a strong and unusual smell.

Sharon had no problem with this. She just needed to stay in the mirror and get through the night easily.

"..."

Hastur looked at the sheepskin blanket spread on the wooden board, and really had no desire to lie down on it and sleep.

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

Sharon appeared from the mirror and looked specifically at Hastur, who looked troubled.

"Well, I'm used to living a noble life." Hastur sighed and looked at the mirror placed on a wooden bench. "Is the space inside the mirror big?"

"Not big."

"It shouldn't be difficult to add one more person, right?"

Sharon did not answer directly, but just said: "You need to stay outside to prevent accidents."

"I believe no one will disturb me tonight." Hastur looked eager to give it a try.

He really wanted to try what it would be like to spend a night in the mirror.

"Where is the strange visitor?"

"I'm not familiar with him."

Just as Hastur was about to say something more, the voice of the young man tonight came from outside the tent.

"It seems that you won't have this chance tonight." After Sharon said that, her body completely disappeared into the mirror, leaving Hastur in a clearly unhappy mood.

Finally, Sharon and I could be alone in the mirror, but someone kept coming to disturb us.

I really want to beat him up.

Hastur sighed, calmed down a little, then stood up and opened a corner of the tent and walked out.

Before the young man could say anything, Hasta spoke first: "Do you know how I feel when I have to go out to deal with an unfamiliar stranger on such a beautiful night?"

"I do pay special attention to you. It can even be said that I am here tonight just for you." The young man smiled and nodded: "It's really rude. I haven't introduced myself yet. Ross Hurley, this is me walking outside." The name used.”

"so what?"

Hastur was not too surprised. This man's performance tonight had revealed his intentions many times.

"Are you willing to join the Eternal Sun Church?" Rose Hurley lowered his eyes and sincerely invited.

"what?"

There was a surprised look on Hastur's face.

Did he really not expect that this person was inviting him to join the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun because he also has dazzling blond hair?

Based on his relationship with the Eternal Blazing Sun... He probably wished he could rain down heavenly fire to kill him.

He helped the Superstar Master several times, causing the Eternal Fierce Sun to be severely damaged. The Kingdom of God was almost destroyed, and now he has directly closed the door to the Kingdom of God.

If nothing unexpected happens, Eternal Fierce Sun will definitely be the next true god to fall.

Joining the Eternal Sun Church at this time is equivalent to joining the national army in 49.

"Please forgive my refusal. I am not interested in the faith of the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun at all. I am not a citizen of your Republic of Intis. I am just a Loen person who just came out to relax."

"I guessed that you would refuse." Rose Hurley showed no signs of depression on his face, and still smiled: "I have never met anyone who is as destined to the sun as you are."

Destined?

Does it refer to my fate of helping the Superstar Master bombard the Kingdom of Eternal Fierce Sun again and again?

That is indeed fate.

"Forcing a person to change his faith is not something a qualified believer would do." Hastur refused with a smile.

"If you are willing to join the Eternal Burning Sun Church, I think you can become the new pope of the Eternal Burning Sun Church in the future."

Hearing this, Hastur couldn't help asking: "What exactly did you see in me?"

"A sun."

"??"

Hastur was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and shook his head.

In terms of the secret self, unless the outer god comes in person, it is difficult for anyone to see through his true identity.

Not to mention seeing a sun from his body.

"Perhaps I didn't express it clearly enough." Ross Hurley himself also smiled, "Everyone has different feelings for various reasons. I said I saw a sun in you. , refers to the feeling you gave me, not what I actually saw."

"Looking at you is like looking at a sun that has just risen, so dazzling and charming."

Rose Hurley appeared here and said words that were easily misunderstood, attracting many night watchmen who had not yet rested to look over.

No, I am not Emperor Russell. I am not sensitive to matters between men.

"This is Ross Hurley, I think you shouldn't bring up topics that could easily lead to misunderstandings with someone you've just met not long ago." Hastur stopped him from continuing, "That's it for tonight, I'm going back to rest. , please do as well."

After saying that, Hastur ignored Rose Hurley, opened a corner of the tent and walked in.

"Oh, it's too hasty, but there's not much time left." Rose Hurley sighed and whispered.

Not far away, someone was whistling by the campfire, pointing to his companion who looked like a black bear next to him and jokingly said: "What do you think of my friend? You can rest assured that he is a master of the art of physical strength. .”

The big guy who was hit also stood up in time and gave Ross Hurley a big crotch bump.

Ross Hurley just looked at them with a smile, without any anger on his face.

After he left, the big man felt a fire burning in his heart, his eyes gradually became red, and he was breathing heavily.

"What's wrong with you? Are you really attracted to that person? I was just joking."

"I……"

Before the big black bear finished speaking, he picked up the person joking next to him and took him into the dense forest regardless of his struggle.

After a long time, a shrill scream resounded through the dense forest.

In the tent, Sharon, who had already disappeared into the mirror, appeared again and glanced at Hastur, who was meditating. "He is very interested in you."

She paused deliberately on the word interest.

"Sharon, you actually learned to joke." Hasta put away his thoughts and came to the mirror, with a helpless smile on his face.

"He is not simple." Sharon just changed the subject lightly.

"I know." Hastur thought for a moment and said, "I'm very good at attracting other people's attention because it's so dazzling."

"Narcissism."

"Tsk, Sharon, you seem to be much more cheerful when you come out this time. Is it because you are almost completely digesting the puppet potion?"

"Well, I fit this sequence very well."

Hastur chatted with Sharon for a few more words, and then persuaded Sharon to allow him to go in and stay in the mirror for a night.

Unfortunately, he was rejected ruthlessly in the end.

The next day, Hastur was awakened by a noise outside the tent. When he came outside the tent, he found a group of people surrounding the entrance to the jungle admiring something.

He was also curious and walked over to take a look. Gee, it was really eye-catching.

The big man, who looked like a big black bear, was sleeping soundly against the tree trunk with his eyes closed, a satisfied smile on his face.

Lying on his lap was a friend who was usually close to him. At this moment, his face was pale, his eyes were dull, and his mouth was dripping with saliva, as if he had been overstimulated.

After some enthusiastic explanations from the people around him, Hasta understood the whole story. It was said that eating something he shouldn't have caused his mental disorder, and then some pleasant and painful things happened.

The head of the Keton caravan was furious about this, and finally let two people stay here to take care of it temporarily, while the others continued to set off to the capital Trier.

As for the young man named Ross Hurley last night, when he got up in the morning, no one saw him again.

The journey was very smooth, and no other messy things were encountered. The Keton caravan successfully arrived at the capital of the Republic of Intis before the sun finally set.

In order to thank them for taking care of them along the way, Hastur specially gave them another 10 gold coins as a thank you.

When he thought that this gold coin was earned by Mr. Fool who worked hard outside, Hasta felt particularly comfortable using it.

Separating from the caravan, Hastur and Sharon first found a pretty good hotel to stay in.

……

Intis Republic, southeastern coastal port.

At the prosperous and bustling dock, Cattleya arrived here with Bernadette.

The two people, who had not set foot in their hometown for a long time, had different emotions on their faces.

Since the Bai Maple Palace Incident that year, the Republic of Intis has changed.

The Church of the Eternal Sun joined forces with the Sauron family to steal the throne that should have belonged to the Gustav family.

Bernadette, who was far away at sea at that time, although she still hated her father, secretly returned to the Republic of Intis several times, but did not find the answer she wanted.

When she returned secretly, she was discovered by people from the Eternal Sun Church and the Sauron family, and was hunted down. Since then, she has never set foot in this country again.

"Do you miss it?" Bernadette suddenly asked as she looked at the familiar building styles on the streets on both sides.

Cattleya was silent for a while, shook her head and said, "I can't remember clearly anymore."

She left Intis at a young age and left with Bernadette.

At that time, she hated Bernadette and the hometown where she lived, so she didn't have many memories worth remembering.

Her good memories as a child were all related to the man in front of her.

"Let's go, it's time to go back and see our old friends."
