Mystery: The Stars Returner

This last sentence is the key point.

It turned out that he was angry because he couldn't eat ice cream, and those who didn't know thought that Will was bullying him because of his bullying, which made Will complain in tears like this.

"Is it hard to get rid of?"

"The stupid snake is determined to waste time with me in Backlund this time. It's really annoying. I really want to find a pot to stew him into snake soup."

When Will was angry, he conjured up a piece of ice cream in his right hand and took a few licks of it happily.

Seeing that the child is greedy, he can only satisfy his little wish to eat ice cream in his dreams.

Hastur felt funny, "How do you want me to help you?"

"Find something to lure him away. His IQ is not high. You just need to find a suitable reason for him, and he will stay away from Backlund."

"How about a divine visitation?"

"..." Will's eyes widened, and after a while he muttered softly: "Although it's a bit risky, it's not impossible."

"Will, in order to have a bite of ice cream, you would rather trigger a divine attack?"

"Didn't you say that yourself?" Will turned sideways with a guilty conscience.

After teasing Will, Hastur already had some ideas on how to lure Ourolius away.

For Ourolius, apart from Devouring Will, a competitor with the same path, the most worthy of attention is the True Creator.

All it takes is a little movement from the True Creator to draw his attention away from Backlund.

The Star Container is the best choice to accomplish this.

It just feels like it’s not worth it to go through all this trouble just for a bite of ice cream.

Perhaps aware of Hastur's thoughts, Will said with a serious face: "That's more than just a mouthful of ice cream, it's my spiritual food, it's my second life. Now, my life is being threatened, how can I still..." Isn’t it worthy of your rescue?”

"Are you mercury snakes greedy?"

"Nonsense, haven't you heard of the adjective "snake"? Will said very plausibly, with a little pride in his words, even with his hands on his hips.

"I will try to help you lure Ourolius away." Hastur thought it would be wiser to give up discussing this issue with Will. "I also have a question to ask you..."

After listening to Hastur's story, Will walked around Hastur twice before curiously asking: "Who said that the place where the soul belongs must be the hometown?"

"Some people leave their hometown where they were born and raised. They are like wild horses running wild, running so fast that they can't wait to be far away from their hometown."

"Some people are focused on money and power, and the destination of their hearts is gold pounds or crowns."

Will discussed the issue of spiritual destination with Hastur very seriously. In his opinion, the specific meaning of spiritual destination should be the place that the heart longs for most, not just the hometown.

After hearing this, Hastur also understood that the people who have lost their homes do not refer to those who have lost their hometown, but those who have lost their spiritual destination and have nowhere to rely on.

It's like taking away the most important piece of your soul.

For Emperor Russell in his later years, his spiritual destination was his hometown.

Once people get old, it is easy to miss the past.

The older you get, the harder it is to leave your hometown. The closer you are to death, the more you miss the place where you were born.

But for myself, it's not necessarily the case.

After all, I have not been in the mysterious world for a long time. I am just like a worker who has been working outside for a year and a half. Although I miss my hometown, I am not that attached to it.

"You need to find the answer to this question yourself. Others can only give you some suggestions and cannot really help you."

As Will spoke, he stood on tiptoes and patted Hastur's shoulder sincerely.

"So your soul's destination is ice cream?"

"..."

Will's facial expression froze, thinking about it carefully, it was indeed like this.

Ice cream can be the home of the soul...it sounds too childish!

"Don't feel ashamed, after all, you have always been like this."

"..."

Will turned around silently, and finally told Hastur to lure Ourolius away, and then slipped away.

"Where is the destination of my soul? Will it be the place where I was first born? Or in the palace of stars?"

Hastur continued to be lost in thought. This question had a bit of a philosophical flavor. It was easy to think too much but only get a lot of painless groans.

……

Backlund, who had been lingering in Ourolius, where Backlund refused to leave, was walking on the street like a normal person.

Destinies will attract each other, especially at their level. The instinct of gathering attracts them to each other all the time.

Although this attraction can be blocked, it becomes increasingly difficult to block it over time.

He really couldn't find any trace of the other mercury snake, but a voice in his heart told him that he was very close.

Unless the other party suddenly left Backlund, if he kept wandering around, he would surely catch the loach that was good at hide-and-seek.

As for Backlund's divine descent, I am afraid that only the God of Steam and Machinery is watching here, and He is the true God who least needs to worry.

As He continued walking slowly along the street, he suddenly sensed that someone was trying to enter the Lord’s resting place.

Ourolius frowned slightly, as if he was making a decision, but finally sighed and chose to leave Backlund.

Backlund is still the same as before, nothing different.

Three days later, Ourolius appeared in Backlund again, searching carefully for Will's whereabouts, but still found nothing.

During this period of time, he had been hiding in the dark, trying to take the opportunity to fish out Will, but to no avail.

He wandered around Backlund for a few more days before leaving Backlund and returning to the land abandoned by God.

In a rented house where ordinary people live, Will is lying lazily on the sofa, comfortably enjoying his ice cream companion who was far away from him.

It's easy to see through the thoughts of the stupid snake Ouroleus. That level of IQ has basically said goodbye to the possibility of using wisdom.

According to his estimation, it will be a week before Ourolius returns to Backlund.

Taking advantage of this time, he could finally enjoy ice cream.

……

"Has the help not arrived yet?" Lennart Augustus said weakly while lying on the hospital bed.

This time, the reason for his illness was not an accident or coincidence, but a long-term illness.

After a series of unexpected coincidences, his body was exhausted. Even if there were no accidents as a push, he himself might collapse like this.

"The latest news is to ask you to wait."

"Haha, wait a minute? Are you waiting to take back my urn?"

Lennart Augustus waved them away in disgust.

Could it be that the first thing my brother did when he ascended to the position of king was to use my life to pave the way for him?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder.

Outside the ward, Alfred was silent for a long time, and finally chose to leave.

Being scolded by Audrey made him want to resign to Prince Lennart and leave. However, seeing Prince Lennart's pitiful situation lying on the hospital bed, he couldn't bear it and could only continue to handle the relevant matters for him. matter.

Two days later, the depressed Lennart Augustus, the new Archduke of South Wales, died on his bed in his villa.

"Prince Lennart is dead?!"

Alfred was shocked when he received the news and rushed to the villa where he was staying. He only had time to see the body of Prince Lennart, which was covered by a white cloth.

"We need to report to the king and ask him to avenge Prince Lennart!"

"Prince Lennart definitely did not die of natural illness but was killed in secret!"

"It's a pity that Prince Lennart is not yet thirty years old!"

Alfred stood aside and listened to the indignant accusations made by Prince Lennart's cronies, especially the name of Count Hastur Campbell mentioned many times in their words.

He knew that another big storm was coming in South Wales.

……

In Port Punin, Hasta also received the corresponding news within a few hours of the death of Lennart Augustus.

In the study, Caius stood aside, his body trembling slightly. This was the first time he messed up something.

"Tell me, how did he die?" Hastur rubbed his brow lightly, feeling a little headache.

He has been busy recently with the matter of promoting the Homeless Man to Sequence 4, and has no time to pay attention to what is happening outside.

In his original plan, the accidents and coincidences against Lennart Augustus were just to cover up the blank time when he went to Intis.

After he came back, Caius was asked to suspend the attack, but he didn't expect that Prince Lenat would die so soon.

This will undoubtedly put Backlund's eyes on him.

In just a short period of time, two Archduke of Southwell died one after another. He was the most suspected and could not withstand any investigation.

"He died of a natural illness, probably due to being too weak and worried."

"Isn't it that you don't have a good sense of proportion?"

"We have always followed your arrangements and never thought of harming his life." At this point, Caius said with an ugly face: "We can't rule out that this is a chain reaction."

Hastur thought for a while, then asked Caius to leave and go to investigate the matter.

"Backlund should be very lively now."

Hastur whispered, and then his mind wandered to the matter of promoting the Homeless Man to Sequence 4.

As for this matter, it was just a little twist, but he didn't like this kind of unplanned trouble.
