Mystery: The Stars Returner

If what Qunxing said just now meant that this was a little reward from the superior to the inferior, then she didn't have any special thoughts.

The relationship between elders and younger generations is too subtle and too fascinating.

If you can consider yourself your elder, you must have some kind of relationship with your parents' generation or a higher generation.

In her impression, there was no one who was too close or familiar with her mother. Her father, Russell, did have a few friends and brothers when he was young, but those people have all been buried, and they are not in front of her. Will deliberately regard himself as an elder.

After pondering for a long time, she could only regard this sentence as proof that the relationship between Qunxing and her father Russell was good.

"My father once told me a saying, 'It is given by the elders, and I dare not refuse'. Thank you to the stars for your New Year's gift." Bernadette accepted this gift from the stars.

It's a good saying that I don't dare to say no to an elder. Russell, you have been charged with copying official documents.

Hasta secretly cursed. In order to prevent Bernadette from noticing, he didn't let Bernadette call him uncle, which felt a bit pity.

……

Moss Trappist Order, the earliest secret organization in the Fourth Age.

It is said that the Trappist Order of Morse was originally formed by a few humans who had viewed the second profane tablet and believed in an impersonal god.

This god does not exist in itself, but is closer to an idea, a natural law. For example, everything is number, and the hidden sage is the incarnation of spiritual number. For example, knowledge is supreme, and the hidden sage is knowledge itself.

The early Moss Ascetic Society was similar to the Psychological Alchemy Society. They were both scholarly organizations that tended to study knowledge. Such an organization had no competition with several major churches and was very respected.

Members of this organization advocate the use of penance to combat loss of control, resolve the residual effects of potions, and strictly keep secrets. Members adhere to morals and precepts, and believe that people will continue to be reincarnated after death.

Persisting in the pursuit of knowledge and strictly keeping secrets, all those who join the association must refrain from speaking for five years after becoming a "Secret Peeper" and learn to be silent in order to practice and improve concentration.

The phrase 'Do whatever you want, but do no harm' is their motto, and they have been practicing this and sticking to the path they have identified.

Until the Hidden Sage becomes a personified evil god, chasing every member of the Moss Ascetic Order. When a lot of knowledge comes in but cannot be digested and mastered quickly, one must either let go of one's spiritual defenses and accept the transformation of the Hidden Sage, or Support with perseverance. If you cannot hold on, you will lose control.

As a result, the Moss Trappist Order gradually degenerated into a secret and evil organization.

Like the Rose School, the Moss Ascetic Order has gradually divided into two factions. People like Bernadette adhere to the principle of 'do whatever you want, but do no harm' and are unwilling to accept transformation from the hidden sage.

They are also very resistant to polluting knowledge, just like the temperance sect to which Sharon belongs.

It is a pity that the influence of the Hidden Sage on the Moss Ascetic Order is far greater than the indirect influence of the Mother Tree of Desire across the starry sky.

At present, the Moss Ascetic Order is basically composed of followers of the Hidden Sage, and the members who can't stand it have already fled or died.

After listening to Bernadette's story, Hasta had a new understanding of the Moss Trappist Order.

If you want to target an existence like the Hidden Sage who likes to hide in the dark, unless you can hit it with one strike, you should not take the initiative. Instead, you should let the Hidden Sage take the initiative and let him come from the dark to the bright side.

Currently, the most attractive person to the Hidden Sage is Bernadette.

If Bernadette is about to be promoted to Sequence 1, then the Hidden Sage will definitely not be able to sit still.

But if you want to do this, you must also fully understand the current situation of the Hidden Sage.

According to Bernadette, she believed that the Hidden Sage had completely collected three copies of the Sequence 1 Knowledge Emperor's extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness.

It's just that it hasn't been fully accommodated yet, so it's a little worse than the normal sequence 0, but it's still stronger than the King of Angels.

Hasta agreed with Bernadette's judgment.

In the original work, the Hidden Sage has been hostile to the God of Steam and Machinery many times, and Steam's condition is not very good. It belongs to the relatively weak Sequence 0. The Hidden Sage should be a little weaker than the real Sequence 0.

If they really fight, the outcome between the two should be 40 or 60, with steam slightly dominant.

After reaching a consensus, on the third day just after the New Year, the Rhoside Islands began full martial law, and no one was allowed to leave the island at will.

A few days later, most of the Star Sea Kingdom's fleet outside was transferred back and patrolled near the Rhoside Islands every day.

This was to build momentum, so that the Hidden Sage would send people to investigate, and then let the people he sent go through all kinds of difficulties to bring back the important news that Bernadette was going to be promoted to Sequence 1.

Of course, this is not enough. Hastur sits above the Hall of Stars, providing a certain degree of secrecy for the Rhosid Islands, making it difficult for the Hidden Sage to truly judge Bernadette's current state.

After these measures were implemented, the entire Rhoad Islands fell into complete silence, without any movement at all.

This is to confuse the hidden sage's judgment, and when he starts to test, he can then follow the clues to find his hiding place.

While Bernadette's side was quiet, a new situation emerged on Roselle's side. An unknown life form suspected to be the descendant of the fallen mother god in the capital of Feysac Empire finally came to Roselle's mausoleum.

Primordial Hunger, who was responsible for handling this matter, had already cooperated with Russell to block him in the mausoleum.

In the Hall of Stars, Hastur clearly saw the appearance of the unknown life form through Russell's perspective.

It has only one eye, a large number of tentacles on its head and a trunk as big and long as an elephant. Its body is covered with a gray-black carapace, and its hands are like two giant pliers.

The sound it roared was very deep, as dull as the sound made by a toad living in a mountain stream.

When Hastur's gaze focused on it, the head of the trapped toad split open, and a black, two-finger-long tentacle grew out of it.

There is a light gray halo lingering on the tentacles.

"Stars, I know that your eyes are watching here, and I also know that you have come to see Roselle specifically." The voice of the fallen mother goddess came from the light gray halo.

"Hey, when did you become so resourceful? Why didn't I know?" Russell mocked.

"Of course I saw the scene when you were talking to the stars through your eyes." The black tentacles turned to the direction of Russell, "What else did you talk about from the past history, right?"

Russell's face froze slightly. The Fallen Mother Goddess really saw everything through his body, but he didn't feel anything at all.

Since the last incident, he thought he had gotten rid of the Fallen Mother Goddess in a short period of time and had the upper hand. Unexpectedly, the Fallen Mother Goddess could still pay attention to his every move.

wrong!

It was after this unknown life form came to the black mausoleum that the consciousness of the fallen mother goddess awakened in her body, and she became aware of the previous dialogue between herself and the stars!

Russell said disdainfully: "Since you already know this is a trap, why do you still come?"

"Of course it's for you." The Fallen Mother Goddess chuckled for a while, then raised her head slightly to look at the non-existent starry sky, "I will pollute everything here, stars, how are you going to help Russell get rid of me? Where’s the control?”

After the words of the fallen mother goddess fell, the huge toad exploded in front of Russell. The light green mucus with a fishy smell began to spread, and a black abyss was formed on the spot.

The entire black mausoleum began to collapse under the influence of the black abyss. Russell wanted to stop it, but his body suddenly refused to obey his orders, and a gloomy voice came from deep in his heart.

"Purification is only temporary, pollution is permanent. You will never be able to escape my control, and the stars cannot save you."

Hearing this, Russell smiled instead of getting angry and said: "Fallen Mother Goddess, you must rarely read novels. Generally speaking, villains who speak like this in novels will eventually fail. This is an iron rule!"

"Stupid." The Fallen Mother Goddess just gave Russell this evaluation.

"If you were smart enough, would you still be blocked from the initial barrier?" Russell had a look of disdain on his face. He was a master at hurting each other.

"It's really stupid."

The top of the black mausoleum cracked, and the light of the stars penetrated through the cracks, and a sound came from the distant starry sky.

"Return to position·Reverse!"

A reversal of repositioning brought an ominous premonition. Before the Fallen Mother Goddess could react, she felt that the consciousness she had just awakened from Roselle's body was fading rapidly.

His control over Roselle is also rapidly weakening, almost to the point of non-existence.

When His consciousness was about to dissipate, He issued the most vicious curse like the devil when he died, "They are right..."

What they said was right, like a curse that echoed in the black mausoleum for a long time.

"This is just a clone and a simple attempt." Primordial Hungry looked at the scene carefully and whispered: "No wonder I can track Him easily this time."

Russell was meditating on the last words of the Fallen Mother Goddess. Who do they refer to?

What secrets do they know about the stars?

What does the Fallen Mother Goddess really want to do this time?
