Mystery: The Stars Returner
Page 93
……
On the clouds, inside a house made of pea vines, Bernadette looked solemn, staring at the magical wishing lamp that was completely sealed by herself.
In recent days, every fifteen days or so, the starry sky will appear, pulling the djinn to the party, and then sending the djinn back to the wishing lamp.
Apart from this, nothing changes.
This also gave her a new guess about the so-called Lord of the Stars.
This mysterious existence seems to have no intention of helping the djinn out of trouble.
Otherwise, with the ability he showed, he would have been able to help the Djinn break through the seal long ago.
But it’s just a guess. She wouldn’t use words like kindness to describe this kind of existence.
She thoroughly checked the seal of the wishing lamp again, and only when there was no problem, she left the hut.
In the past, she still had the desire to communicate with the Djinn God. After the incident of the evil god Si’a, she understood that the Djinn God had sold her to the Mother Tree of Desire.
Therefore, she was too lazy to listen to the djinn’s lies to fool herself.
Walking on the clouds, with a slight move of her right hand, several pea vines stretched out and intertwined into a gently swaying swing in front of her.
The word swing is the name given by her father Russell to this thing that looks like a seat but shakes.
Sit on the swing, hold the pea vines on both sides with both hands, and use gentle force to make your whole body sway with the swing.
This was a toy she loved to play with when she was a child. Her extremely respectable father stood behind her with a smile and kindly, pushing the swing again and again, pushing her to grow up little by little.
Now the swing is still there, but the person pushing it has long since disappeared.
Only the little girl sitting on the swing was left, growing into a mysterious queen whose true identity was difficult for people to pry into.
Flickering, troubles seem
It was also thrown out.
Suddenly, she felt herself sway slightly, and the starry sky changed in front of her!
The starry sky is bright and the stars are twinkling.
Here, there is no light of the crimson moon, this place belongs to the stars.
“Lord of the Stars!”
Bernadette’s heart sank, her face was solemn, but she was not panicked.
She knew that there was a huge gap between herself and such a mysterious existence, and resistance was just a desperate struggle.
The first time the stars appeared near the wishing lamp, she had a premonition of such a day.
Not even the djinn could resist the call of the Lord of the Stars, let alone her.
“Become a believer in the stars and you will be protected by them.”
A voice descended from the depths of the starry sky, and in the bright starlight, a magnificent palace loomed.
Bernadette looked up, still sitting on the swing, making no unnecessary movements.
Before she could say anything, a scene played out among the stars.
It is the scene where the Djinn tells how he plans to plot against himself.
“The stars are the direction you always need to pursue.”
There was another majestic sound, and all the surrounding phenomena suddenly disappeared.
In the starry sky above our heads, the crimson moon still shines high, and the stars are dim and dim, far less dazzling than before.
As if everything just now was just an illusion.
“Become a believer in the stars…”
Bernadette murmured softly, her eyes showing confusion, and then she laughed to herself.
The Djinn and the Mother Tree of Desire teamed up to plot against her, and now, even this extremely mysterious Lord of the Stars also extended an olive branch to her.
She is like the protagonist in this legendary story, belonging to this turbulent era.
“Even I don’t know what’s special about me.”
Bernadette sighed and continued to swing on the swing, looking disappointed.
She did not think that the Lord of the Stars was deceiving herself. Based on her understanding of the Djinn, it was normal for the Djinn to make such a choice.
What puzzles her is, what does the Lord of the Stars value in him?
Is an Extraordinary who is barely even close to reaching Sequence 2 worthy of His special oracle and calculation?
Apostle of the stars…
This is to make yourself His favored one.
After thinking for a long time, she still couldn’t understand what happened tonight.
We can only take one step at a time.
As for whether you want to become an apostle of the stars, it all depends on whether you need it in the future.
If the Lord of the Stars can really satisfy all his needs, then becoming His favored one is not without negotiation.
Before that, she needed to know more about what kind of existence this Lord of the Stars was.
……
The Hall of Stars.
Hastur, whose spiritual power was completely drained, returned to his original appearance, closing his eyes and leaning on his seat to rest.
Just establishing a connection with Bernadette consumes a lot of his spiritual power, and the remaining spiritual power can only support him to make this communication.
At present, he is still unable to talk to Bernadette for a long time, let alone communicate in other aspects.
The matter of being promoted to Sequence 7 briber must be advanced as soon as possible. As for Bernadette, there is a long way to go. We will take the next step when we can communicate normally.
“Phew, log off and go to bed.”
Hastur exited the Hall of Stars, pulled up the quilt, and soon fell asleep.
Chapter 92 Audrey becomes the audience
When he woke up in the morning, Hasta was in a pretty good mood. Last night’s party allowed him to learn many secrets from the Mother Tree of Desire.
Especially the golden box thing.
The attempt to guide Bernadette also went smoothly. I could really communicate with Bernadette alone without the prying eyes of the djinn.
This gave him a direction.
He has been worried about how to deal with the matter between Mr. Door and the Fallen Mother Goddess.
If the relationship between Mr. Men and the Fallen Mother Goddess is regarded as the relationship between Bernadette and the Djinn, can she try to communicate with Mr. Men while isolating the Fallen Mother Goddess?
Or simply drag Mr. Men to the Hall of Stars for a meeting as a fallen mother goddess?
He had this idea when he first arrived at the Palace of Stars. The exchange with Bernadette last night gave him a vague glimpse of the key point.
But he won’t try it easily, at least he has to wait until he is promoted to a high rank.
Take a shower and go downstairs to enjoy some delicious food.
Butler Neil sent two invitations, one from Mrs. Germany and one from Earl Richard who lived nearby.
There is no need to think about where to go for the meeting.
At around nine o’clock, Hastur arrived at Earl Richard’s house in a carriage.
He originally wanted to walk here directly, but considering that he had to go to the law office in the afternoon, it was more convenient to take a carriage.
Earl Richard welcomed his arrival and came to the door to greet him.
When he entered Earl Richard’s house, Hastur silently turned on his spiritual vision and scanned around to make sure there was nothing unusual before following Earl Richard through the door and into the hall.
Earl Richard said awkwardly: “After the last lesson, I seriously studied a lot of occult knowledge. I also specially invited the bishop of St. Samuel’s Church to come to my place and asked him to help perform an exorcism and blessing for the entire house. .”
“How much does it cost to exorcise evil spirits and give a blessing?”
“…It is a donation, an act of piety to the goddess, and cannot be measured simply by money.”
Hastur smiled and did not continue to ask. According to his estimate, the cost of hiring a bishop was about 500 gold pounds.
Earl Richard is obviously richer than himself, and since he has recently converted to believe in the goddess of the night, he may donate 1000 gold pounds to round up the figure.
It is still easiest for the church to make money.
After Hastur chatted with Earl Richard for a few words, he asked him about the purpose of inviting him as a guest today.
He didn’t believe that Earl Richard just came here to thank him for helping him last time.
Earl Richard lowered his voice and said embarrassedly: “I dreamed about my Lord again recently.”
“?!”
Hastur immediately became alert, knowing that Earl Richard was not a simple guy.
It’s only been more than a month since the last big toad, right?
Now there is another Lord. Even if he is really the one favored by God, the gods will not live in his dreams every night and guide him forward, right?
Earl Richard knew what Hastur was thinking from his expression, and hurriedly explained: “You misunderstood, this time the Lord did not talk to me, He just showed a vague shadow,”
“Is it another toad? Or is it another small animal?”
“…”
Earl Richard was stunned for a while before he smiled bitterly and said, “This time it’s not a big deal.
He is the Lord of all animals, the Spirit who grants peace to all living things.”
Although he did not want to undermine Earl Richard’s faith, Hastur still adhered to the principle of honesty and said: “Is there a possibility that the gods are not so free?”
“But I think that’s the Lord.”
“People are very good at deceiving themselves, especially when it comes to dreams. Maybe you just dream about the so-called Lord because you think too much.”
“…”
