Mystery: The Stars Returner

On September 22, everything was normal in Puning Port.

Investigators from three major churches from Backlund have secretly come to South Wales.

With the experience of the Red Gloves Team of the Church of the Night last time, they were very sensible and did not come directly to Puning Port. Instead, they investigated the death of Lennart Augustus.

During the investigation, they discovered that the real cause of death of Lennart Augustus was an illness caused by worry, which eventually led to his sudden death.

The accidents and coincidences that happened before were only indirect effects.

But this investigation is obviously not enough. They also need to investigate the source of accidents and coincidences, as well as the cause of the mysterious death of the former Archduke of Southwell.

If you include Drink Augustus, who is unknown whether dead or alive, there are three Grand Dukes of South Wales here.

Just thinking about it makes my head tingle.

Who can believe that there is no hidden secret?

The biggest suspect responsible for these things is naturally the Earl Hastur Campbell.

The motive was simple, and the only thing that needed to be proven was whether he had the ability to commit the crime.

When the investigation came to an end, investigators sent by the Three Gods Church held a meeting to discuss who would lead the team to Puning Port to investigate.

During the discussion, no one from the Church of Night was very active. In the end, members of the Heart of Machinery took over the leading task.

When the investigation team headed by members of the Heart of Machinery came to Puning Port, their spirituality was in a state of mania and restlessness, as if the small port in front of them contained huge dangers that could swallow their lives.

But at this time, they had just gotten off the carriage and had not yet started investigating.

"Something feels wrong. Even the breeze floating in the air seems to be rejecting our approach." Someone said.

The others remained silent, and finally entered Puning Port to investigate.

This time, the Three Gods Church jointly investigated, with sufficient material resources and manpower.

If he fled back to Backlund in despair, he would be ridiculed.

When they were about to pay a courtesy visit to the young Earl Hastur Campbell first, and then arrived at his residence in a bumpy ride, they were blocked by someone.

Four guards dressed like ordinary soldiers blocked their way forward, and the coldness in their tone revealed that there was no room for accommodation.

What made them even more uncomfortable was that these four guards gave them a terrifying feeling, as if they would be decapitated with a sharp blade the next moment they disobeyed.

But they could only continue to have the courage to continue communicating, but it had no effect. They were still blocked. Even if they had moved out of the name of the three major churches, they could not take a step beyond the thunder pool.

A member of the investigation team wanted to try to see if he could use extraordinary abilities to deal with the people in front of him, but when the guard glanced over, he trembled with fear and did not dare to have other ideas.

They had no choice but to find a place to live first.

"I think it's better to leave directly to avoid any accidents." A member of the Church of the Night said cautiously: "Even if you want to stay, don't choose to stay in a hotel. This is a piece of advice."

"Is there anything you can't say more clearly?"

The leading captain of the Machinery Heart was dissatisfied and scolded them. Such sneakiness made them look like people doing bad things in the dark.

"Last time, members of the Red Glove Team came here to investigate an incident. At that time, they lived in the hotel..."

The member of the Church of the Night described in great detail the situation that the members of the Red Glove Team encountered.

After listening, the investigation team looked at each other and finally chose to live in the home of a viscount.

Then, in the following days, they kept wandering around this area, with no chance to go out again.

……

Inside the heavily guarded house, Azshara was patrolling around with wide eyes. With such a serious look, even placing a pile of small dried fish in front of it could not make it shift its gaze.

Just two days ago, it accepted the great mission of protecting its owner.

With the mission in hand, it no longer is lazy and gluttonous, and patrols carefully all day long.

It only responds a few times when Sharon calls it.

Outside the door of the room where Hastur lived, Sharon was like an exquisite puppet, quietly guarding the people in the room. Her seemingly lifeless eyes would only ripple when they glanced at Azshara.

It is a difficult process to be promoted from Sequence 5 to Sequence 4. During this process, one's own promotion is likely to fail due to various reasons, and finally fall into madness without any sanity.

If you can't keep quiet or are deliberately disturbed, there is basically no hope of promotion.

As strong as George III, when he was promoted to the Black Emperor, it was also the time when he was most vulnerable. Otherwise, as a Sequence 1, and mastering the extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness of two other Sequence 1s, his strength is only inferior to the true god.

It was because of being disturbed that he failed to be promoted and fell completely.

When she was promoted to Sequence 4, many people from the Temperance Faction also guarded her day and night to prevent her from being suddenly disturbed.

Only then did she successfully get promoted and get out of the dangerous period.

Hastur's current situation is similar to hers. Although the people guarding the outside are very powerful, the person closest to him is herself.

The person who can stand in this position is undoubtedly the most trustworthy person.

Caius once came to report the matter, but was sent out by Sharon again. Mrs. Lisa realized something and actively cooperated with Sharon, placing the members of the Yellow Monks in the outer area and strictly prohibiting this period of time. Someone comes to disturb me.

She herself also stayed outside and prohibited anyone from coming to Sharon's presence.

At this time, Mrs. Lisa's mountain is undoubtedly reliable.

The only thing that worries Sharon now is Hastur's own promotion situation in the room.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but she didn't feel the slightest fluctuation of Hastur's promotion from inside the room when she was outside the room.

Even Hastur's breath seemed to have completely disappeared from the induction.

But Hastur has always been so mysterious, so she let go of her worries.

……

There was no one in the room at the moment, only an empty bed.

Hastur, who had been lying on the bed, had already reached the palace of stars.

It is not difficult to achieve this step. Hastur could do it in the past, but it is far less secretive than entering through dreams.

In the Hall of Stars, Hastur has taken the magic potion needed to advance to Sequence 4 Homeless Man.

This is prepared using the extraordinary characteristics of the Sequence 4 Corrupted Earl of the Black Emperor path.

For promotions in the Star Path, the extraordinary characteristics of other extraordinary paths can be used as the main potion. This is the characteristic of the Stars.

When Hastur took the corresponding magic potion in the Palace of Stars, he clearly felt that his body and mind were completely integrated with the Palace of Stars. This was the first time he had such a feeling.

In the past, he had always felt like a tenant in the Palace of Stars, but this time, he truly felt that the Palace of Stars was his property and that he was the master of the Palace of Stars!

At this moment, he seemed to be the real returner of the stars, and the entire palace of stars was in the palm of his hand, rotating with his thoughts.

When the magic potion began to be digested, obvious changes occurred in the entire Hall of Stars.

It rose again, rising deep into the sky and toward the boundless starry sky.

The stars in the sky are more easily accessible, they are within the reach of one's fingers.

Hastur tried to stretch out his hand, but it was blocked by a transparent film. It was like a loyal guard, guarding quietly and not allowing anyone or even any force to pass through.

After sensing quietly for a long time, Hasta vaguely guessed the origin of this transparent film.

The original barrier between the starry sky and the real world.

Has the Hall of Stars risen to this position?

Hastur's heart moved slightly. He was not surprised that the Palace of Stars would continue to rise, but he just felt that the speed was too fast.

He thought that he would have to break through to Sequence 2 or Sequence 0 before he could reach the same position as the current six true gods.

If we continue at this speed, in Sequence 2 or Sequence 0, the Palace of Stars will break through the initial barrier and return to the starry sky.

The initial barrier in front of me is not preventing me from continuing to take off, but my current self. The star palace I control can only reach this position. If I want to escape from the real world and reach the starry sky, I still need to wait until I can advance to Sequence 2.

This is like wanting to leave the planet and flying on the surface of the planet. They are two different concepts, and the power required is also very different.

Hastur retracted his gaze towards the starry sky and looked around at the kingdom of the six true gods who were level with him.

He saw the Kingdom of the Goddess of Night hidden in the dark night. Its secret authority and even its Kingdom were hidden, making it difficult to see what was going on.

Chapters of the history of civilization evolution surge on the surface, as well as steel knots such as battleships and cannons. Dense yellow gears are hidden behind, pushing civilization forward in a farther direction. This is the kingdom of God from the God of Steam and Machinery.

A fertile land covered with various plants, luxuriant branches, countless entwined branches, and a prosperous scenery is the divine kingdom of the Mother Earth.

Just like a scorching sun that is burning, but it has obviously gradually dimmed, the Kingdom of Light that has its door closed at this moment is the Kingdom of God with the eternal blazing sun.

The kingdoms of the Lord of Storms and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom are also manifested with their respective characteristics.

The dilapidated country that has been torn apart, and the dim sky is gradually being eroded by the night, is the former Kingdom of the God of War.
