Mystery: The Stars Returner

In the morning, Hastur woke up from his sleep.

He went to the bathroom to wash up, and then carried the clingy Azshara downstairs.

This little thing may have gained a lot of weight recently because of the good food at home.

From being sensitive and alert at the beginning, he began to evolve into a homely fat cat.

Hastur didn't want Azshara to be a big orange cat.

If you are going to force it to go out for a walk, and ask the maid to take it out for a walk more often if it is fine, you should also control its food intake a little.

"Meow?"

Azshara looked at Hastur with innocent eyes, but it was of no use.

Hastur rubbed its little head and went out in the carriage to do errands.

There are two things he needs to do now. One is to choose a suitable person and ask him to help him go to South Wales to investigate various situations and confirm the specific land situation of Viscount Abel.

The second is to solve the problem of extraordinary materials in the Assassin sequence. Now he is not short of money, but only lacks a platform to purchase extraordinary materials.

Mr. A's place was originally a pretty good extraordinary party. Now, before he understands Mr. A's purpose, he doesn't want to have casual contact with Mr. A.

"Let's solve the first problem first."

Hasta rode a carriage to the talent recruitment market, which has a more official name, the Talent and Employment Association.

This association claims to be able to recruit any talent you need.

Before there was any better way, Hastur decided to try his luck here.

The Talent and Employment Association is located in the South District of Bridge, not too far from Harvest Church.

Hasta planned to drop by the Harvest Church later.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the entrance of the Talent and Employment Association, a dedicated service staff came to greet him. After saying hello to Hasta, he stayed beside Hasta and introduced him to some of the service scope of the association.

Hasta listened silently at first, and then expressed his needs: "I need an investigator with keen observation and certain self-protection ability to help me go to South Wales to handle some matters."

"Okay, please wait a moment, we will select some suitable personnel for you right away."

The service staff led Hasta to sit down in the VIP area, and then had someone bring him a cup of Marquis black tea and two exquisite desserts.

Hasta tasted desserts as a habit, but the first bite surprised him.

The taste of this dessert is excellent and it suits my taste very well. It is comparable to the dessert master of Earl Hall's family.

A pastry chef of this caliber actually serves a small talent and employment association?

This association is a real gem and very smart.

Basically, people who have tasted the delicious food will have a great impression of this association.

Hasta is no exception. As long as the candidate is still available, he will decide to choose this association to provide services.

After all, it would be better for an association that can satisfy one's hobby of eating desserts not to close down.

After almost twenty minutes, the waiter who had just left brought eight suitable candidates.

They are all between thirty and forty years old. Judging from their appearance, they are all mature and steady.

Hastur was going to let them introduce themselves first, and then make an excuse to go to the bathroom and go to the Hall of Stars to check out the chosen ones and get a glimpse of their fate.

If there is no big problem, he will choose someone else.

The eight investigators who came to apply for the job began to introduce their origins and some of the legendary events they had experienced and completed.

The first one said that he once went deep into a dry well alone and destroyed a big thief's secret hideout from inside.

The second one said that he had climbed a snow peak more than 4,000 meters above sea level in the Fosak Empire and witnessed the legendary snowman on the snow peak.

The third one said that he was once a navigator. When he was young, he followed a fleet into unexplored waters, where he saw a series of legendary creatures, such as deep-sea naga, undersea mermaids, etc.

The fourth person was more modest. He just said that he once traveled through a barren desert in the southern continent alone. He did not encounter anything special and just lived alone in the desert for half a year.

The fifth man looks the most comfortable among the eight. He has a strong South Wales accent.

Before he introduced himself, Hastur was rather optimistic about him.

After all, what he needs is an investigator who can help go to South Wales to investigate the specific situation. It will be easier to complete it if someone from South Wales is in charge.

"I was born in a small fishing village in South Wales. I have witnessed the burning, killing and looting of coastal pirates since I was a child. When I grew up, I joined the army and then fought to protect South Wales, but in the end I hated the dissatisfaction of the nobles there. As a person, I left the army, left my hometown, and came to Backlund to find new hope."

"During this period of my career, my more legendary experience should be regarded as my record of killing more than a dozen pirates by myself."

"As for special events, I didn't encounter them. I just met some special people."

The man sounded sincere and convincing.

Not only Hastur was attracted by his story, but the other seven applicants also looked at him sideways.

Hastur was quite satisfied with his experience and pointed out his name, Caius.

The next sixth, seventh, and eighth applicants also introduced their basic information.

I don’t know if they were influenced by Caius, but their later stories were more about real life, and they didn’t talk about any particularly exaggerated experiences.

Hastur asked them a few more questions, and then asked them to go down and wait. He made an excuse to go to the bathroom and came to the Hall of Stars.

This time, the three candidates he was more satisfied with were No. 4, No. 5, and No. 8.

He gives each of them a sneak peek into their fate.

What is very regrettable about No. 4 is that he is very capable, but he seems to have great ambitions and is easily eroded by money.

Such a person is not suitable to be entrusted with tasks alone.

Next up is Number 5, and there aren’t many glimpses into the fate of it.

There are only three pictures. The first picture shows him fighting the pirates who were burning, killing and looting on the coast.

The second scene shows him coming into contact with a party held by a group of people wearing yellow clothes.

The third picture turned out to be an incomplete extraordinary path!

Hasta opened his eyes suddenly, there was a big fish in today’s recruitment!

There is no doubt that the second scene refers to Caius coming into contact with members of the Yellow Friars and eventually joining them.

I have been patiently waiting for this group of people, and they finally started to take action.

They didn't seem to be too afraid of him seeing through their identities, and they actually appeared in front of him blatantly.

Do they really think they can't identify their true identities?

Or was this development expected by them?

The third picture is even more interesting.

This Extraordinary Path is not the twenty-two Extraordinary Paths he is familiar with, but a brand new Extraordinary Path. Unfortunately, he can only see Sequence 5.

Its special names from initial sequence 9 to sequence 5 are:

Sequence 9: Gambler

Sequence 8: chanter

Sequence 7: Scriptwriter

Sequence 6: Exorcist

Sequence 5: Winner

This is a new extraordinary path, an extraordinary path from the King in Yellow!

"The gambler, the chanter, the librettist, the exorcist, the winner..."

Hastur silently recited these five words, five identities.

Judging from these five sequences alone, the monks in yellow do have the ability to influence destiny, but they are different from Will's destiny path.

Will's destiny path is very pure, and it revolves around destiny promotion from beginning to end.

Although this extraordinary path also involves destiny, such as Sequence 9 gamblers and Sequence 5 winners, it also involves other extraordinary abilities.

Lector and exorcist seem to be special positions within the church.

It is understandable that the monks in yellow robes and the church's monks were promoted to chanters and exorcists.

As for the writer of the Sequence 7 script, Hastur was very surprised.

He was not surprised that a scriptwriter appeared in the entire Extraordinary Path. What he found strange was that the scriptwriter was only Sequence 7.

If it is Sequence 2 or Sequence 1, Hasta can understand it relatively well.

But in this way, this extraordinary path will appear similar to the audience path in high sequences.

It seems that the audience path is more suitable for becoming a writer.

Sequence 7 Scriptwriter... There is also a possibility that the sequence Scriptwriter has a relatively unknown ancient name.

The reason why I am now called a script writer is just to correspond with my current profession and to make it easier for the Extraordinaries who set foot in this sequence to understand its spiritual core and digest the magic potion.

Hastur thought carefully for a while, and gradually understood the main direction of this extraordinary path.

Arrange destiny in conjunction with church office.

In high sequences above Sequence 5, there should be extraordinary sequences whose destiny is related to the church.

For example, names such as Archbishop XX and Pope XX.

Now the question arises, should he hand over the task of investigating South Wales to Caius?

He might be the Sequence 5 winner.

Just by hearing the name of this sequence, he basically doesn’t have to worry about this task.

Isn't there too much risk in getting too close to the extraordinary person who is the monk in yellow?
