Mystery: The Stars Returner

Klein scanned the other three people present. Due to Miss Justice's mistake, there was no Russell diary to watch today. In addition, for the first time, someone was absent from the Tarot Club. The emotions of the other three people seemed to be mixed. Not very high.

Miss Justice, who had always been enthusiastic and confident, seemed to have something on her mind at the moment. Miss Magic was taciturn, and Little Sun seemed a little nervous.

This atmosphere is very bad.

Klein thought for a while, tapped his fingers on the table, and after attracting the attention of the three people, he slowly spoke: "If you encounter something that is difficult to deal with in a timely manner in the future, you can also explain the situation in advance, and I will allow your absence."

"Thank you Mr. Fool for your reminder and generosity." Audrey was the first to recover from the uneasy atmosphere.

Since Mr. Hanged Man was unable to attend this week's Tarot meeting, I will assist Mr. Fool in completing this meeting.

Audrey regained her energy, and with a smile on her face, she began to share her recent experiences, especially her accidental entry into the spiritual world.

Of course, she omitted a lot of relevant situations, especially those involving Susie and Mr. Hastur.

But even the incomplete version of the adventure story attracted the attention of everyone present.

Especially the interweaving of dreams and reality, the diversity and complexity of the spiritual world.

"It's a magical encounter, but it's also very dangerous." Klein gave Miss Justice's adventure a not-so-good evaluation in his heart.

The unknown, pursuing the unknown, is often the easiest way to lose oneself.

Most adventures in this world are often traps.

If it were him, he would never advance like Miss Justice.

"It's terrible." Forsi felt cold in her heart. She didn't want to encounter such a thing.

She doesn't need any adventures, it's best to spend every day safely.

Isn’t the original intention of pursuing extraordinary power just to live a better life?

If you get the primary and secondary relationship wrong, you will lose more than you gain.

"That should be the power left by the spiritual dragon."

Only Derrick, who lives in Silver City, gave Miss Justice good feedback on this adventure.

"You mean I encountered a spiritual dragon?"

Audrey was a little excited. It was a spiritual dragon, a mythical creature that was almost extinct.

Moreover, I happen to be in the same audience sequence as the psychic dragon. If I can understand the psychic dragon, it is equivalent to understanding the direction of my future promotion.

"That should only be the part of the power it left behind. It was affected by that power that you fell into a deep sleep and went on a dream journey."

"Then there is no way for me to see the spiritual dragon?"

"Well, it should have gone away long ago, or died in the long years. That spiritual world may have been its nest."

"Since it's a lair, what kind of Pokémon will there be?"

Audrey thought of the poems written by bards. All dragons like to collect shiny treasures. The spiritual dragon should be the same, right?

"If it has shed its scales, horns, blood, etc., it should be considered some kind of treasure."

Derrick didn't know much about this part of the content, and immediately said that he would learn more about it after returning.

With the chat between Miss Justice and Little Sun, the scene became lively again, changing the previous uneasy and dull atmosphere.

Forsi, who rarely speaks, also shared some daily news about his good friend Xio.

There was no way she could do it. She had been staying at home to avoid the turmoil among Backlund's Star Believers. She basically didn't go out on weekdays, so naturally she wouldn't encounter anything new.

Only when Xio comes back will he tell her the latest situation about Backlund.

Derrick also shared some of his experiences in Silver City during this period.

After the three people shared their experiences during this period, the scene seemed to cool down again.

Audrey wanted to change this situation, but she didn't know what to say.

Forsi didn't care about this atmosphere. Now, she was just thinking about whether Mr. Hanged Man, who was suspected of being a pirate, had done too many bad things and was arrested.

Derrick looked at Mr. Fool and then at Miss Justice.

He was also very uncomfortable without the familiar and warm-hearted Mr. Hanged Man.

"That's it for this party."

Klein has no intention of actively bringing up the topic. He is the mysterious and great Mr. Fool. Although he is very interested in many things that happened in Backlund, his identity restricts him from mentioning these trivial matters. .

It would be great if I had my own trumpet in Tarot meetings.

In this way, when encountering something in the future, such as the less successful Tarot Club like today, he can come forward to liven up the atmosphere.

……

After this unsuccessful tarot session ended, Audrey lay on the bed, feeling a little depressed.

She seemed to lack abilities in many aspects. For example, Mr. Hanged Man was not here today, and she originally wanted to assist Mr. Fool in hosting this week's Tarot Club.

Unfortunately, my knowledge of mysticism is limited, and I don't have many stories or information to tell, so it can easily make the atmosphere awkward.

This is not good. She must start to learn to stand alone, so that even if Mr. Hanged Man is not around, she can still be someone that everyone is willing to believe.

After resting for a while, Audrey got up and opened the door. Susie, who was waiting at the door, couldn't wait to run in.

After Audrey closed the door again, Susie lowered her voice and said, "Audrey, Mr. Hastur was here just now."

"Mr. Hastur, why is he here?" Audrey was a little nervous.

"Don't worry, I blocked him out just now and didn't come in to disturb you." Susie was taking credit.

"Susie, you're awesome!"

Seeing Audrey so happy, Susie also took the opportunity to make her request.

"What, you want the book "The Complete Sayings of Emperor Russell"!"

"Yes, I think you should reward me with something."

"..."

Audrey silently touched Susie's dog head and said, "Susie, you have changed, you are really different."

"Audrey, is this a good thing?"

Audrey didn't answer the question, which should be a good thing for Susie, but for her, it didn't seem so good.

Especially now, Susie knows how to ask for credit first, and then make her own demands.

It's really going to become a sperm!

When dinner was approaching, Hastur walked out of the guest room. He slept for about three hours and felt full of energy.

When I came to the restaurant on the first floor, I met Susie lying on the ground resting, and I greeted her enthusiastically.

Susie raised her tail, left in a panic, and quickly ran to Audrey's side.

"So afraid of me? Did I do something to Susie?"

After thinking about it for a moment, Hastur could almost guess what Susie was thinking.

It was probably because he was afraid that when he was alone with him, he would see that he was not an ordinary golden retriever, but an extraordinary dog ​​that was a Sequence 8 mind reader.

After enjoying dinner, Hasta finally waited for the opportunity to be alone with Audrey.

He had not heard Audrey tell her in detail about the adventures she had experienced, and he was very interested in it.

At the garden stone table, Hastur sat opposite Audrey, and Susie lay on her side at Audrey's feet. Not far behind, there were two maids guarding Audrey.

After the last accident, Earl Hall was particularly concerned about Audrey's safety. If Audrey hadn't actively refused, she would have eight personal maids now.

She didn't want to be followed by a lot of people wherever she went. In this case, she would feel very awkward and unfree.

"Mr. Hastur, doesn't he know what happened to me?"

When Hastur asked about her adventure story, Audrey chose to ask a rhetorical question.

"I just have a little speculation that this should be related to your spiritual world."

"anything else?"

"That white tower should be related to the spiritual dragon."

"Psychic dragon?" Audrey pretended not to understand, blinking her eyes that were confused and hungry for new knowledge.

Hastur just briefly introduced this topic.

If you just wanted to win Audrey's trust, it would be too simple. You only need to tell her about dancing alone on the top of a tower.

"Ok."

Seeing that Hastur kept avoiding how he helped her, Audrey could only pick up the topic and start telling stories about her adventures.

When he heard Audrey say she saw him and Susie, Hastur understood the key.

The fog in the forest contains a little bit of the power of the spiritual dragon. With Susie as the anchor, Audrey, who is in the spiritual world, can see her and Susie's actions.

That's why Audrey could follow herself and Susie to find the silver-white tower, and then climb to the top of the tower to leave the spiritual world.

So the question is, why couldn't Audrey find the silver-white tower when she was alone?

Such eye-catching buildings should be even more dazzling in the misty forest described by Audrey.

There seems to be only one answer, Audrey is lost.

She was like a headless fly wandering around until she and Susie appeared to point her in the right direction.

Hey, why did I suddenly feel a little pity in Mr. Hastur's eyes?

Audrey glanced at Hastur in confusion. Before she could ask, Hastur's words attracted her attention.

"Have you ever seen the islands sticking out of the sea?"
