Mystery: The Stars Returner

"Bernadette has finally left Backlund, and she can start preparing to steal the Black Emperor's card."

In the Hall of Stars, Hastur has not chosen to go offline.

He was thinking about how to take away the Black Emperor card from the Russell Memorial Exhibition after Bernadette left Backlund.

He didn't take action before because he wasn't strong enough. After being promoted to Sequence 7, he should have the ability to take away the Black Emperor card.

When Bernadette was still in Backlund, he didn't try to avoid being discovered. Now was the best time.

Sequence 9 lawyer, Sequence 8 barbarian, Sequence 7 briber...

Hastur thought about the extraordinary abilities these three sequences brought to him.

Robbery will definitely not work, stealing in secret will suit your needs.

After thinking for a while, he had a simple idea in his mind.

You can use the extraordinary ability of the briber to recruit a younger brother. As long as he can touch the Black Emperor Card, let him sacrifice the Black Emperor Card directly to the Palace of Stars.

Then he was allowed to set himself on fire and die, completely cutting off the clues to the search.

After thinking for a while, Hasta still rejected the idea. Of course he had to do such an exciting thing by himself.

He is now a Sequence 7 briber, but he has very few opportunities to actually use his abilities and seriously lacks actual combat experience.

You can take this opportunity to learn to integrate your extraordinary abilities.

For example, he can learn from Klein's experience of stealing the Black Emperor, and make good use of the relationship between the spirit body and the Palace of Stars to take the Black Emperor card.

This is not a difficult task for him. After all, with Klein's experience, he only needs to simply imitate.

But he still wanted to try to solve it himself. If that didn't work, he would use Klein's version of theft method.

Currently, his three chains of order give him three extraordinary abilities? authority?

Making rules; involving the path of destiny; and the hidden authority of the third chain of order.

Combined with his extraordinary ability as a lawyer, he can bend the rules within a certain range.

If he can use these abilities well, it shouldn't be difficult to enter the Russell Memorial Exhibition and steal the Black Emperor Card.

……

The next day, Hastur deliberately woke up a little early.

He put on the newly bought three-piece trousers, shirt, and tuxedo formal suit, put on a silk soft hat, and chose a gold pocket watch and a sinking wood cane inlaid with gold.

Before going out, I also use a little perfume with a less obvious scent.

Butler Neal was very satisfied with Hasta's dress today and told the maids to make Hasta look nice and... handsome.

If Butler Neil knew that he was just going to the Russell Memorial Exhibition instead of going out on a date, he would probably be very disappointed.

Hastur smiled and went out in the carriage.

2 Königsallee, Kingdom Museum.

Although it is not the weekend yet, there are still many people coming to visit the Russell Memorial Exhibition, and many people are already queuing at the door.

Hastur waited patiently, and at the same time lamented that the glorious image Russell left to the world still has such a great influence. No wonder he can continue to fight against the pollution of the fallen Mother Goddess until now.

Soon, Hastur followed the crowd into the Kingdom Museum, and then followed a docent who was responsible for explaining the history of Roselle to visit the Roselle Memorial Exhibition.

Entering the first exhibition hall, the beautiful female commentator happily introduced: "Everyone, here are the daily necessities of Emperor Russell."

Hastur also saw the golden toilet that shocked and envied Mr. Fool.

I also cursed corruption in my heart!

So much gold is used to make a toilet. Do you really regard money as excrement?

After the daily exhibition hall, we arrived at the exhibition hall that houses Russell's various original manuscripts and notes, as well as some documents and even highly valuable historical relics such as the Civil Code.

While the commentator was flipping through Russell's diary, Hastur also saw what was recorded there.

There is no value other than complaining.

"This is the love poem he wrote, this is the bracelet he made himself, this is the manuscript of the novel he wrote... These are the toys he made for his children, these are the building blocks he invented..."

The female guide introduced the various items in the display cabinet with an almost adoring and obsessed look.

Hastur just kept a certain distance from the people next to him and listened quietly.

When the female commentator just read the love poem written by Russell, several eyes looked at him lovingly.

He just kept smiling and kept his gaze from shifting at all.

After the slightly scorching gaze faded away, Hastur breathed a sigh of relief.

This is not good in places with many people.

Speaking of which, Klein came to the Russell Memorial Exhibition for the first time and met Bernadette, could he also...

I actually met Bernadette!

In front of the display cabinet, stood a slender lady, at least 1.7 meters tall. She had long chestnut hair that reached her waist. She was wearing a bright light red cake skirt and a delicate and small soft hat. The hat and fine gauze hung down, covering her beautiful face.

Hastur was not convinced that Bernadette was mistaken. He just looked at her and then withdrew his gaze, pretending that nothing happened and had no intention of coming forward to say hello.

Bernadette appeared here today, probably because she wanted to take a look at the "relics" left by her father before leaving Backlund.

Hastur followed the crowd and walked over. Bernadette did not take the initiative to say hello to Hastur. Instead, she silently followed the team and listened to the commentator in front of her, introducing her father’s life story in a tone of fanatical admiration. .

When he came to the exhibition area of ​​Russell's study, Hastur secretly became serious.

The bookmark of the Black Emperor's card is hidden here. Bernadette is not far behind him, and he cannot show any strangeness.

Hastur pretended to be interested in every book and manuscript, and looked at them one by one with serious eyes. He soon discovered the Black Emperor card that was regarded as an ordinary bookmark.

But he just glanced at it, and after confirming the location, he looked at other things.

Bernadette was lost in thought, her eyes blurred, obviously recalling the happy life of their family when Russell was still there.

If you think about it carefully, Huang Beibei should be over a hundred years old, right?

The commentator in front was explaining how Russell loved and protected his children in that era, and what interesting and fantasy fairy tales he wrote for his children.

Right now, Russell's eldest daughter appears here, and it feels like time and space are out of place.

Hastur thought for a while, and then followed the guide's pace to leave. This time, Bernadette did not follow.

After visiting the Russell Memorial Exhibition, Hastur went to visit other areas of the Kingdom Museum.

Firstly, it was to get familiar with the terrain, and secondly, it was also to avoid attracting Bernadette’s attention.

Don't let her see that she came specifically for the Russell Memorial Exhibition today.

At around twelve o'clock at noon, Hastur left the Kingdom Museum and chose a nearby restaurant to enjoy lunch.

After he ordered his portion of food, he ordered a more elaborate lunch.

If there are no accidents, Bernadette should appear.

When they came to their seats, Hastur had just enjoyed the food for about five minutes when Bernadette appeared, sat opposite him, picked up the knife and fork and began to enjoy the lunch that Hastur ordered for her.

"Are you interested in the diary left by Russell?"

Bernadette said something out of the blue, but fortunately Hastur was always on guard against her questions, so he immediately noticed something was wrong with the question.

"Diary? Do you mean the original manuscripts?"

Hastur made a suitably curious expression.

"Yes, if you want to know, I can tell you."

"Do you also know that kind of mysterious writing?"

"No, but I can tell you the secret you want to explore."

"I just happened to have a leisurely stroll and didn't want to explore any secrets."

Bernadette stopped eating and said with a smile: "It's not a secret that you like to collect Russell's diaries."

"I only acquired those manuscripts out of curiosity about what Emperor Russell left behind."

"Have you found anything through research?"

"No, this kind of writing is difficult to learn, and it is simply impossible to reversely deduce the meaning contained in this kind of writing through existing languages."

Hasta answered calmly, not giving Bernadette a chance to set a trap to test him.

"If one day you can really decipher this kind of text, I hope you can tell me."

"If I had that kind of luck and wisdom."

Hastur still maintained a decent smile.

"I have here the magic potion formula for Corrupted Baron in Black Emperor Path Sequence 6. Do you need it?"

"Of course."

Hasta looked happy and shouted in his heart: Huang Beibei, you really picked a good time!

Obviously, once you get this Black Emperor card, you won't have to waste extra money on buying any magic potion formula.

But this Huang Beibei, Huang's eldest niece, wants to sell the Sequence 6 Corrupted Baron formula to herself at this time!

But he still couldn't refuse, and even showed joy.

This feeling is so uncomfortable and wronged!

A Sequence 6 magic potion recipe is worth about 2000 gold pounds!

Alas, if I had known that I would visit the Russell Memorial Exhibition later, I would not have met Bernadette.

I'm so stupid, really. I only knew that Bernadette's departure from Backlund was a good opportunity to obtain the Black Emperor's card, but I didn't know that she might come to the Russell Memorial Exhibition to take a look before she left...
