Mystery: The Stars Returner

The entrance of the villa.

Hibbert sent Hastur away, and after walking out of the door, he spoke: "Hasta, why did you refuse this kindness just now?"

"It was so sudden, it felt like it was out of control."

Hastur sighed. He had been thinking about this problem along the way.

He needed Earl Hall's help, and Earl Hall made it clear that he would support him and even paved a bright road for him.

Why would I refuse such a good offer?

Why not just accept it openly?

Hibbert took a deep look at Hastur and said, "Hasta, you can never control everything."

"I understand this."

Hastur nodded, he really understood this.

But facing Earl Hall's sudden kindness, his first thought was to refuse.

He had a feeling at that time that as long as he agreed, he would be tied to the Hall family chariot.

Interests and favors... In this regard, he is indeed not a qualified nobleman.

The lesson tonight is worth recalling.

Seeing the troubled look on Hastur's face, Hibbert smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "This is only the first time we meet. You will still have the opportunity to please our Earl Hall in the future."

"hope so."

Hastur could only place all his hopes on the hound that had not yet been trained to be a good person.

But he felt that after this incident, it was very unlikely to repair the relationship with Earl Hall.

"When I go back, think carefully about what my father said. He usually doesn't say too many irrelevant things to others."

Hibbert left the last words to Hastur and watched Hastur leave in the carriage.

After Hastur's carriage went away, he frowned slightly. To be honest, he couldn't understand what Earl Hall was thinking tonight.

Even if you want to help Hastur get promoted to a peerage, you shouldn't be so explicit and direct, right?

The Loen nobles have always been a symbol of reserve and restraint.

He was just as puzzled as Hastur.

Returning to the villa, he came to the study, where Earl Hall was waiting for his return.

His face was very calm, not at all like he was angry and chasing people away just now.

Hibbert walked in and said with a smile: "Your behavior tonight seemed to scare him."

"Why do you think I said those things suddenly?"

"You want to let Hastur understand through this incident that nobles put interests first and are too childish and naive to enter the killing field of politics."

Hibbert thought a lot along the way and seemed very calm when faced with Earl Hall's test.

"Give you another chance."

Earl Hall's rejection made Hibbert's expression slightly stiff, and he fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Hibbert said uncertainly: "Are you really angry because of the friendship between Hastur and Audrey? So you deliberately used this method to scare him away?"

Earl Hall's face darkened, and invisible majesty enveloped Hibbert. "In this regard, Hastur is right. You are really stupid. You can only see what is happening on the surface, and then make associations without authorization."

"..."

Hibbert, who was scolded, couldn't say a word and sighed in his heart. Even Hastur, the person involved, didn't understand this problem. How could he, an outsider, completely understand it.

"Among the nobles, interests are indeed the most important thing, but not everyone is willing to do this. In addition to interests, there are also favors."

"The reason why he rejected my kindness was because the help he was seeking was offset by benefits, not by owed favors."

"This is his self-confidence and his innocence. When he reaches my position, he is just a baron. What benefits can he bring to me?"

Hibbert listened to Earl Hall's instructions and said thoughtfully: "Do you want to bind Hastur to the chariot of our Hall family through favors?"

Earl Hall had a smile on his face, but he still rejected Hibbert's guess, "This is what he can't understand."

"..."

Hibbert really wanted to say something, why do you have to go around like this?

It is understandable that his father has many evil intentions, but Hastur has so many evil intentions.

He is obviously so young!

How did you detect something wrong from your father's questions?

"I'm actually very satisfied with his performance tonight."

Earl Hall's sudden change of topic made Hibbert almost lose track of his thoughts.

He had clearly issued an eviction order with a sullen face just now, but now he said he was satisfied with Hastur?

After thinking for a while, Hibbert asked out his confusion, "Since you are satisfied, why do you want to be a villain for nothing?"

"Hasta's performance tonight was too simple and naive, and lacked real training. Giving him a little setback can help him go further."

Hibbert couldn't understand this again.

Is this satisfied with Hastur's simplicity and innocence, or is he dissatisfied?

"At this stage, I am very satisfied with his innocence in some aspects. This may also be the reason why Audrey is willing to get close to him. He is relatively pure and does not have too many selfish desires."

"..."

Hibbert turned sideways silently and said nothing.

Just now, he said that he had made unauthorized associations with the relationship between Hastur and Audrey.

But what about the beloved Earl Hall?

Doesn't what he did seem to be testing Hastur's character?

The father-in-law looks after his son-in-law?

His sense of substitution is even stronger than mine!

Hibbert was sure that Earl Hall must have his own personal emotions on this matter tonight.

Especially when he scolded Hastur for being naive and asked him to leave.

……

Hastur returned home and sat in the study thinking about Earl Hall's intentions tonight.

He didn't think Earl Hall was a person who would show his emotions so easily, but his performance tonight was very puzzling.

He showed kindness in front of him, but then he told him to go home directly.

"It's inexplicable."

Hasta sighed, took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. It was already past ten o'clock.

He had no intention of continuing to think about this issue.

No matter what Earl Hall's true thoughts are, just take your time and go your own way.

After walking out of the study, Butler Neil looked sad at the door. Finally he couldn't help but said: "I have always believed that the future of the Baron is limitless. I hope you will not be discouraged because of what happened tonight."

"..."

Hastur was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Butler Neil, thank you for your comfort."

Butler Neil gave Hastur a look that encouraged him to work hard, and then went to do other things.

"Even Butler Neil is so good at associating, so it's no wonder that Greg and Hibbert are thinking wrongly. Fortunately, Miss Audrey is not thinking wildly."

Hastur murmured, choosing to take a bath and then go back to his room to rest.

The Hall of Stars.

Hastur's eyes fell on the star where the High Dimensional Overlooker was.

The white crystal eyeball, which was originally normal, was discovered by the personnel guarding the bell tower. They regarded this thing as a divine object given by God, and even built a small chapel to enshrine the white crystal eyeball.

The white crystal eyeballs emit a hazy light, which seems to be affecting the people around them.

But not many people come to believe in it. Most of them come to watch it just out of curiosity.

Except for the clockkeeper who discovered it, other personnel did not show too much fanatical worship.

"There should be the consciousness of a high-dimensional overlooker in the white crystal eyeball, otherwise I should not be able to see this picture."

"Does the high-dimensional overlooker want to develop his own followers in this way?"

"This is too casual. It doesn't show any miracles, nor does it show anything too abnormal, except for the fact that it emits a little light."

Hastur stared for a long time, but chose to continue watching.

If the high-dimensional overlooker really develops his followers in this way, it can also provide him with some future reference.

After looking at this side, I looked at another small spot of light.

The incarnation of the High-dimensional Overlooker no longer stayed at the seaside, but was sailing on the sea following a ship.

His attire has morphed into classic sailor attire, and he's even doing hard labor on board.

"Did you come here specifically to experience life?"

Hastur really doesn’t understand the thoughts of a high-dimensional overlooker.

After watching for a while, Hastur glanced at the other stars.

There is nothing unusual about it, only the lamp god is unfortunately sealed in the wishing lamp.

……

Late at night, in Mrs. Germani's room.

The crimson light outside the window spread little by little along the edge of the window, and a shadow that melted into the darkness silently came into the room from outside the window.

Mrs. Gemeni, who was already lying in bed, woke up immediately and looked at the graceful figure in front of the mirror as if there was no one around.

"You came in through the window again, don't you have a long memory?"

"Don't be so cold. I didn't mean to hurt your sweetheart last time. Besides, I was the one who suffered the loss. He stabbed me hard in the heart."

Moraka took off all her clothes in front of the mirror, then walked naked to the bed, lifted the quilt and lay down in it.

Before Mrs. Gemani could refuse, she took Mrs. Gemani's hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, and said in a bewitching tone: "I still have his breath left here."

"His sharp sword penetrated my lower abdomen from here, and he stirred it hard. That feeling is really unforgettable."

"Don't you want to follow the passage he opened and come in to take a look?"

Soon, the quilt was covered, and a suppressed moan floated from the room to the window.

The crimson moon in the sky wanted to take a closer look at this beautiful scene, but was blocked by black clouds.
