Mystery: The Stars Returner

When Hastur returned to the basement of Mr. A’s house, Mr. A was still praying in front of the statue of the true Creator. He was waiting for the Lord to assign him a new task.

Hastur did not disturb him, entered the basement, and lay back in the coffin.

Consciousness disperses and returns to the palace of stars.

This time, the divine descent only lasted about two hours. Hastur did not suffer from the serious sequelae of the first time. Instead, he still had the energy to think about what happened tonight.

Now that the yellow monks organization is being disturbed by him, the direction of the wind will definitely change, and his own safety will be guaranteed to a certain extent.

Now, what he needs to do is to control the organization of the monks in yellow as much as possible. In the future, some inconvenient matters can be left to the monks in yellow.

But he needs to wait a few days first, and wait until Mrs. Lisa has rectified the internal atmosphere of the Yellow Monks organization before he appears again.

After thinking about this matter, Hasta thought for a moment, closed his eyes and peered into fate, hoping to find the complete extraordinary path of the King in Yellow from Cardiff.

The process went smoothly. Apart from the unknown sequence 0, Hastur has figured out each sequence of this extraordinary path.

Sequence 9: Gambler

Sequence 8: chanter

Sequence 7: Scriptwriter

Sequence 6: Exorcist

Sequence 5: Winner

Sequence 4: Priest

Sequence 3: Stealing life

Sequence 2: Divine Revelation

Sequence 1: Pope

Tonight's Cardiff is the life-stealing Sequence 3. He finally hides in his own destiny, trying to steal and assimilate his own destiny and replace it. This is the extraordinary ability of this Sequence.

It is somewhat similar to Amon's ability, but the way Amon steals destiny is more through deception and deception. In essence, he is still himself.

Cardiff's stolen life is a real replacement. In essence, he has completely changed his person.

Once successful, neither fate nor soul can be seen through.

Unfortunately, the real creator and the King in Yellow are also fighting for the fate of his stolen map, and there is also the Palace of Stars secretly.

He is a Sequence 3. In this case, he is just cannon fodder and has no qualifications to participate in the robbery.

"Priest, life stealer, divine revelation, pope..."

Hastur thought carefully about the connection between these four sequences, and then focused on the divine revelation of sequence 2.

Divinely inspired, the Hall of Stars also provides itself with the authority of the same vocabulary.

Is this just a coincidence?

"Why do you think the extraordinary path of the King in Yellow involves many other extraordinary paths?"

Ha, stitch monster.

Hastur smiled contemptuously, mocking the King in Yellow a little in his heart.

……

The next morning, Hastur woke up from bed at around six o'clock, and also woke up Azshara, who was sleeping dazedly, from her little bed.

"Meow?"

Azshara covered her eyes with her plush front paws, turned over, yawned softly, and turned her back to Hastur.

"Why are you not as energetic today as you were yesterday?"

Hastur teased it twice, and then, with its resentful eyes, left the room for a walk.

This place is located in the countryside, and the air in the morning is very fresh, far better than Backlund.

It wasn't until after eight o'clock that Hasta came back from a leisurely walk on purpose.

Caius, who had already learned that something had happened in the organization, looked at Hastur returning from a walk outside the castle, and couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

Although in the news that came overnight last night, the person mentioned was not Hastur, but another mysterious young man.

But he would unconsciously compare Hastur to the young man described in the letter.

Finally, we came to the conclusion that the younger and more handsome a person is, the more complicated they are.

Hastur smiled and greeted Caius: "Mr. Caius, my new butler, have a nice morning."

Caius trembled and said with fear: "Good morning, Lord Earl, your breakfast is ready."

"There's no rush." ​​Hasta pointed to the road leading from the castle to the town. "We need to build a road that is convenient for traveling."

"I'll make arrangements right away."

"Well, the main roads leading to various plantations also need to be repaired and widened."

Hastur then made many suggestions on road construction. For example, paving the road entirely with stones was too wasteful and time-consuming. Instead, gravel and soil could be mixed.

Also pay attention to setting up drainage ditches on both sides of the road to prevent serious water accumulation on rainy days, causing the road to turn into mud.

Caius listened to each one, and when he could hardly remember the rest, he hurriedly asked someone to bring a pen and paper and started writing down the notes by hand.

This kind of work attitude made Hasta very satisfied. He patted Caius on the shoulder and said: "Subordinates who are loyal and conscientious are often the easiest to be promoted and reused."

Caius straightened his back unconsciously, his heart full of energy.

As soon as Hastur finished his breakfast, Caius had already worked out the preliminary draft, road plan, staffing, estimated completion date, etc.

Gee, employees who have a bright future in life can do their job efficiently.

Hastur took Caius's preliminary draft, made some suggestions, and then let Caius go ahead with it.

In this draft, there was no mention of funding requirements, and Caius didn't say anything about it, so Hastur just pretended not to know.

Caius is the fifth serial winner of this extraordinary path. He is definitely not short of money, and he can just see the financial situation of the yellow monks.

Back in the room, Hastur motioned to Sharon in the mirror to come out, and there was no need to hide in the mirror anymore.

"The matter has been resolved?"

Sharon was smart and could guess something from Hastur's words and deeds.

"Well, there is no problem for the time being. This was originally my castle, and it is the same now."

Sharon didn't ask Hastur how to solve this dilemma, but just nodded.

She turned to pick up Azshara, came to the window, admired the scenery outside for a while, and suddenly said: "Is my New Year's gift ready?"

"In the evening, after dinner, you can see the New Year's gift I prepared."

……

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Hastur and Sharon stayed in the room. Azshara stood guard outside the door with an unhappy look on her face, waving her sharp claws to prevent anyone from approaching.

"The characteristic of summoning messenger ritual magic is to pray to oneself and draw power from one's own spirituality, without going through gods."

"First, you select herbs and essential oils from the corresponding field. This is no different from normal ritual magic, but the candle only needs to symbolize your own..."

"Then comes the incantation part, which is divided into three sections. The first section is 'I', which can be in ancient Hermetic, Giant, Dragon, or Elvish. The second section is 'I summon in my name.' You can use Hermes instead, and the third paragraph is the specific description of the summoned object..."

There was a lot to summoning the messenger, and Sharon didn't want to say so many words, so she wrote it down on paper for Hastur to read.

Hastur read it two or three times, and found that it was not much different from the occult knowledge he had memorized, so he began to prepare for the ritual of summoning the messenger lady.

First, arrange the appropriate herbs and essential oils. Hastur thinks that what pleases him most is the sparkling gold pound. If Sharon is not around, he will try to use the gold pound as a ritual material.

Hastur calmed down his mood first, and then began to speak in ancient Hermes:

"I!

I call in my name:

A spirit that wanders in illusion, a friendly creature that can be driven, Reinette Tinichole. "

In order to accurately summon Sharon's teacher, Hastur could only target Reinette Tinichole through direct descriptions.

At the same time, he was also worried that his specialness would attract other beings that were too terrifying, so he had better stay calm first.

After reading this sentence, Hastur glanced at Sharon subconsciously, and saw that her originally calm and indifferent face now showed a look of astonishment, and she was staring at him with nervous, puzzled, and expectant eyes.

The hands that naturally hung on both sides of the skirt were clenched into fists with their fingers, and their bodies were trembling slightly.

Woo!

The wind blew suddenly, the candles were stained with a dark green color, and the surroundings suddenly became cold and cold.

The candle flames swayed and swelled to the size of a human head, and the strong wind blowing throughout the room became more and more violent.

A translucent head slowly came out like breaking through some kind of membrane.

Her hair is light golden and smooth, her eyes are as scarlet as blood, and her appearance is bright and majestic.

When the head was completely drilled out, Sharon was already stagnant, staring at the familiar face without blinking.

Renette Tinichole was still wearing a complicated, gorgeous, dark and gloomy black dress, and her drooping hands were holding four identical heads with blond hair and red eyes.

"Are you...calling...me?" Reinette Tinichole's four hanging heads spoke one after another.

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed Sharon standing aside blankly. All four heads turned around and said in unison: "Sharon... why... why... are you here?"

"Teacher, I really want to..."

Sharon stepped forward excitedly, and was about to tell her how much she had missed her during this period, but when she found Hastur looking at her from the corner of her eye, she quickly returned to her previous calmness and calmness.

"I think I should go out and comfort Azshara, who is about to explode."

Hasta left the room consciously. Before leaving, he looked at Sharon's interesting expression.
