Mystery: The Stars Returner

Audrey and Hastur answered this question at the same time.
Hastur added: “I have always been a follower of Emperor Russell’s knowledge.”
“I also admire the influence that Emperor Russell has had on this era.” Audrey also added.
“I always think you guys are weird.”
Gray Linte murmured softly and said nothing more.
Hasta and Audrey had a tacit understanding and did not bring up this topic again, and turned to talk about other things.
Next, Hastur shared some simpler occult knowledge.
Before leaving, Audrey was not far from Hastur and said: “Mr. Hastur, I think the manuscript left by Emperor Russell looks like an entire diary torn into pages. .”
Mr. Hastur taught her a lot about occult knowledge, and she felt that she could also reveal a little bit of high-end knowledge to Mr. Hastur.
It’s definitely not because he wants to show how smart he is in front of Mr. Hastur.
Hmm… I can’t completely rule out this mentality… Sometimes she also wants to be the person who stands at the top of her IQ and overlooks others.
She wanted to see Mr. Hastur show such a surprised expression.
Well, let Mr. Hastur feel a little shock.
“Hey, did Miss Audrey find out too?”
Hastur’s rhetorical question made Audrey’s head blank for a moment.
This reaction was different from what I expected.
She forced a smile and said, “Does Mr. Hastur think so too?”
“Well, I have always had this conjecture. This is one of the results of my research on the original manuscript of Emperor Russell.”
“It turns out that I accidentally discovered this secret.”
“Miss Audrey is so smart.”
Audrey just smiled and said nothing at this compliment.
Yes, she is so smart.
She naively thought that she could occupy the peak of IQ in front of Mr. Hastur for a while.
She didn’t expect the clown to be herself.
Alas, so, it’s better not to use areas that you are not good at to win applause and flowers.
Hastur admired Audrey’s little expression for a while, then continued: “Miss Audrey is so interested in Emperor Russell, does her family also collect Russell’s diaries?”
“…”
Audrey was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded: “We can study and study together.”
She was afraid that Hastur would suddenly propose to acquire Russell’s diary in her home.
In this case, she will be very embarrassed and won’t know how to reply.
“fair enough.”
Hastur glanced at Audrey with a smile, feeling a little happier.
Before getting in the car, Audrey thought for a while, but still did not directly ask Hastur about his recent financial status.
He just said with a smile: “I recently have some spare money that I want to invest. Does Mr. Hasta have any better suggestions?”
“The mosquito repellent powder developed by Gralinte tonight should be very popular in the market and would be a good investment project.
. “
“But I have a lot of spare money. I don’t think I can use 20000 gold pounds for this Gray Lint business, right? I’ll think about it after I go back.”
Audrey showed a troubled expression, and then drove away in a carriage under Hastur’s slightly shocked and envious eyes.
On the carriage, Audrey quietly waved her fist, feeling a little proud.
It turns out that Mr. Hasta’s financial situation is not very good.
But soon, she felt very embarrassed, and her cheeks turned red and hot.
In order to save some of the embarrassment just now, I actually learned to make fun of Mr. Hastur’s financial situation.
And he also deliberately admired Mr. Hastur’s shocked expression.
Audrey, you have changed, you wouldn’t do this before.
We need to change, we can’t act like this again in the future.
Audrey deeply reflected on what had just happened.
But after a while, she muttered: “But except for money, I can’t beat Mr. Hastur in other aspects. He obviously looks about the same age as me.”
……
study.
Hasta sat at the desk and read through the two newly acquired Russell diaries. After reading them, he put these two diaries together with the previous diaries and locked them in the drawer.
Now that Audrey understands the importance of Russell’s diary, it’s time for her to start revealing a little bit of information to Klein.
I took out a pen and paper, thought about it for a moment, and then began to imitate Russell’s diary style and start writing.
“On August 12th, I attended a dinner party hosted by Viscount Reed. At the dinner, Viscount Reed drank a lot of wine and kept showing off how good he was in that field until I saw his wife following a baron. When I walked out of the back garden with a blushing face, I realized that the things people like to brag about are often things they don’t possess.”
“On August 15th, I heard something interesting from Mr. Men. It was a sealed object, an extremely magical pen. It can write scripts and make the stories in the scripts play out in reality. , isn’t this the otherworldly version of the magic pen Ma Liang!
Mr. Men also specially told me that if you often encounter coincidences, coincidences, accidents and other events in your daily life, you should be careful whether you are written into the script by that pen and become a character in someone else’s story. “
“On August 19th, I took Green and Edward to enjoy the performance of the cabaret troupe. Well, it was an adult version of the cabaret show. It was very shocking.”
After writing these three items, Hastur stopped writing, reviewed them carefully, and then made up two more short stories to fill the entire paper.
Then he put down his pen and admired his masterpiece.
The other four short stories are not important, only what happened on August 15th is more important.
That was the first reminder and guidance given to Klein through the character of Mr. Men.
He did not directly state that the pen was called 008, but planned to wait until a few times later to specify it.
This is also consistent with the fragmented record characteristics of Russell’s diary.
As for stigmatizing Russell?
Does he still need to smear Russell’s romantic behavior?
Chapter 95 Looking up at the stars, as small as an ant
For example, the classic saying: The taste of a witch is really good.
It comes from Russell’s personal experience. The style of Intis and the absurdity among the nobles can be said to be vividly reflected in Russell.
If there is a chance in the future, Hastur is planning to write a diary full of sayings: “The taste of a witch is really good.”
It is estimated that it can bring quite a shock to the young Mr. Fool’s heart.
Hastur just thought about it for a moment, and he couldn’t hide the smile on his lips. He could already imagine Klein’s disgusted and helpless expression.
These are all things that will happen later. For now, let’s stop here and continue imitating if necessary later.
Hasta thought for a moment, then dried the ink on the diary he had imitated from Russell, then took out the original manuscript left by Russell and put it on the table for comparison.
Well, my handwriting is much prettier than Russell’s, and you can tell it’s imitation at a glance.
But for Miss Audrey, there is not much difference between the two, as long as there is content to fill a piece of paper.
When she went to Sefirah Castle for a meeting, she just remembered the shapes of these words and then wrote them out in her own handwriting. It had nothing to do with her.
After confirming that there were no omissions, Hastur placed the imitation of Russell’s diary on top and locked it together in the drawer.
Hastur, who had accomplished a big thing, checked the time, went to the bathroom to take a bath, and then went back to his room to rest.
The next day until eight o’clock in the evening, Audrey had not come to exchange information about Russell’s diary, which made Hasta a little disappointed.
Instead, Sharon appeared in his study, which made his mood instantly improve.
This time, Sharon was still hiding in the mirror, and Hastur could only sit on the sofa opposite to communicate with her.
Hastur regretted placing a sofa in front of the mirror.
If she hadn’t been so well prepared, Miss Sharon would have been chatting with her face to face instead of hiding in the mirror and hearing only the sound.
“The people from the Rose School have left Backlund. Maric and I need to go out for a while.”
“How should I contact you when something happens?”
“You can contact me by writing.”
Hastur pretended that he did not understand the meaning, and asked curiously: “I don’t know where you are, how can I deliver the letter to you?”
In the mirror, Sharon showed her own figure, staring at Hastur with her blue eyes, not revealing his not-so-serious acting skills.
He reached out and threw a copper whistle from the mirror to Hastur, and said calmly: “You are already a Sequence 8 barbarian and have mastered spiritual vision. As long as you blow this copper whistle, you can summon a spirit that belongs to me.” World Messenger, write the letter and hand it directly to it, and it will automatically bring the letter to me.”
It’s been a long time since I’ve talked about something this long at once.
Sharon glanced at Hastur, and Hastur coughed guiltily, pretending that he fully understood.
When it comes to acting, you have to do the whole thing.
“It’s so convenient. I also want to summon a messenger of mine.”
Faced with Hastur’s unabashed thoughts, Sharon knew that he was waiting for her to take the initiative to say the words to teach him how to summon the messenger.
“Will have the opportunity next time.”
“…”
Hasta was startled for a moment and blinked. Wasn’t his thoughts obvious enough?
Sharon pretended not to see Hastur’s signal, and said calmly: “You are too low in sequence now, wait until you are promoted to sequence 7.”
“Sharon, you’ve learned too much now.”
“I learn it from you.”
