Mystery: The Stars Returner

Page 118

Was it really just passing by?

After all, there is a Wheel of Fortune card hidden in him, and fates attract each other.

“Even Ourolius has come to Backlund. What kind of fate is hidden here?”

“Is there another mercury snake hiding in Backlund at the moment?”

Bernadette thought carefully for a long time and felt that this was a very possible guess.

There was only one other mercury snake that could attract Ouroleus’s attention.

This is a fateful battle between them.

“No matter what, it can be regarded as solving a troublesome matter.”

Bernadette thought for a moment and decided to go out for a walk just to relax.

Put away the magic lamp and the triangle of time and space, and use the pea vine as the road. After just a few steps, the scenery in front of you changes. With one step, you arrive on the streets of Queens.

Backlund brings together special foods from many countries. The most exquisite restaurants are basically opened in Queens. Generally, only the nobles living here can afford to spend money.

Bernadette walked into an Intis-style restaurant, ordered a table of dishes, tasted a few bites of each dish, then paid and left.

When passing by a shop selling clothes, she would go in and choose the style she liked like any other aristocratic lady.

Like many girls who only shop but don’t buy, she just enjoys the process of choosing clothes.

In the end, she picked out a suit of clothes that were pleasing to the eye and left.

When she walked to a shop selling small items, she thought that Sharon would be back in Backlund in a few days, so she would buy some small items for her.

As soon as she walked into the door of this store, she felt a familiar scent.

Just taking a quick look, she saw the familiar figure of Hasta.

This time, she did not directly come forward to disturb, but observed in the dark.

As she said last time, if she could really see Hastur for the third time in Backlund, it would arouse her interest.

Now, it happens to be the third time.

She was curious as to why she kept meeting this young baron.

Obviously, he and I are not on the same extraordinary path, and he is not an extraordinary person on the destiny path.

Logically speaking, they shouldn’t meet so frequently.

This can no longer be explained simply by fate, there must be some reasons that she doesn’t understand.

After watching for a while, she realized that Hastur was also here to buy some small items. Look at what he picked out.

Xi, maybe he wanted to give it to Sharon who was about to return to Backlund?

He had the same idea as himself, and it seemed that he knew Sharon very well.

Until Hastur paid and left, Bernadette still didn’t bother.

Instead, he hid in the darkness and followed him.

Immediately afterwards, Hasta went to the store she had been to before and asked the clerk directly for two sets of the most exquisite and beautiful black gothic palace dresses.

Bernadette frowned slightly. She was already sure that this was by no means a coincidence, but an inexplicable pull.

Even if he didn’t meet Hastur first, judging from Hastur’s trajectory, he had a high chance of meeting him.

But she still didn’t choose to show up.

When passing by the Intis-style restaurant, Hasta paused for a moment, then sped up and left the nearby area.

“Are you afraid of meeting yourself around here?”

“He also seems to know that as long as he goes out for a stroll, there is a high chance that he will meet him in Backlund.”

“It seems that this young baron is not as simple as he seems.”

Bernadette had some guesses in her mind and continued to follow behind.

This time, she felt much more relaxed.

When Hastur was about to leave in the carriage, Bernadette appeared directly in the carriage and sat opposite Hastur.

“I shouldn’t take any chances!”

Hasta was shocked when he saw Bernadette suddenly appear, and already regretted that he should not go out for a stroll today.

But he can’t stay at home forever…

“Dear Madam, we meet again.” Hasta said hello first with a smile on his face.

“You should still remember what I said last time.”

Bernadette’s calm eyes stared at Hastur, which made him feel a little scared.

Hasta said in surprise: “Madam, did you really not come to me on purpose?”

“What do you say?”

“Destiny is really magical. It seems that we are very destined.”

“The word fate alone cannot explain this situation.”

“But this is the most likely scenario I think of.”

Hastur smiled bitterly, pretending that he didn’t know anything.

Bernadette just looked at him calmly, “Don’t you know that it’s easy to meet me once you go out?”

Hastur tried his best to explain: “I just don’t want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.”

“When you were buying those little things, I was always following you. The clothes stores you went to and the restaurants you passed were all the places I just left.”

“…”

Hastur couldn’t think of any suitable reason for a while.

He guessed that Bernadette’s closer connection with his destiny should be related to the two exchanges he had with her as the Lord of the Stars.

The fate between him and Bernadette has reached the point where they cannot dodge and they will inevitably meet.

There was a smile on Bernadette’s lips, “It seems you know the reason yourself.”

Chapter 116 I am also the apostle of the stars

“Ugh……”

Hastur sighed heavily, then his expression became serious, and he said word by word: “Because I am also the apostle of the stars, and there are stars between you and me as guides.”

He felt that he needed to show off a bit, otherwise he would always be caught by Bernadette, which would affect his normal life.

Apostle of the stars?

Bernadette’s heart moved slightly, and she glanced at Hastur with a smile, “What does Apostle of the Stars mean?”

Hasta looked calm and chuckled: “You are also a person favored by the stars. If there were no stars to guide us to each other, there would be no so-called coincidence and fate.”

“Do you know what the consequences will be if you believe in gods other than the Seven Righteous Gods?”

Bernadette still hasn’t confessed her connection with the Lord of the Stars.

Hastur said calmly: “The Aurora Society believes in the True Creator, and the Witch Sect believes in the Original Witch. There are not only seven righteous gods worthy of belief.”

Bernadette’s eyes flashed coldly, and her tone was compelling: “Such disrespectful words are enough to get you judged by the church.”

“Dear lady, do you also believe in the seven righteous gods?”

Hastur didn’t care. He knew that Bernadette was still testing him, so he had to show his devout faith in the stars.

“When did you start believing in the stars?”

“Half a year ago, without the blessings of the stars, I wouldn’t be where I am now.”

“Have you seen Him?”

“I have seen it. He has always guided me in the direction I want to go.”

“Aren’t you afraid that He has any harmful intentions against you?”

“Dear lady, if He really wants to do something against you, I don’t think you can appear in front of me.”

With these answers, Hastur can guarantee that he is not lying.

Without the appearance of the Palace of Stars, he would most likely have died.

The direction you go forward has always been determined by yourself, and you represent the stars.

He indeed had no ill intentions towards Bernadette, he just wanted to guide her to become an apostle of the stars so that she could do something for him.

Bernadette was deep in thought, and she could also detect that Hastur was not lying about these issues.

“How do you know of my existence?”

Hastur breathed a sigh of relief at this question.

As long as he answers this question well, he can even use his identity as Baron Hastur Campbell to influence Bernadette to become an apostle of the stars.

If Bernadette was the only one among the Star Apostles, she would definitely be wary, but once there were other believers, she would let down some of her wariness.

“The stars have been watching you, and He is watching me. He is watching every believer equally, and it is He who informed me of your existence.”

Hastur thinks there is nothing wrong with this sentence. Anyway, until now, there is no true believer in the stars.

Bernadette’s blue and deep eyes stared at Hastur and said calmly: “Then you know my true identity?”

“Bernadette Gustave, the owner of the Dawn, the mysterious queen across the sea, and the eldest daughter of Russell Gustave.”

Bernadette did not speak, but leaned back against the carriage, her long right leg in black leather boots straddling her

On the left leg, the toes dangled gently.

The sitting posture is casual, but it also reveals a deeply hidden elegance.

This move will not make people feel frivolous, but will feel very pleasing to the eye.

The carriage rumbled forward, but the carriage driver outside could not hear the sounds inside, so he still concentrated on driving the carriage forward.

After a while, Bernadette slowly spoke: “Don’t you know that sometimes knowing too much is a very dangerous thing?”
