Mystery: The Stars Returner

Illya said in a serious tone: "Speak clearly."

The man nodded and continued: "Ince Zangwill once encountered Nast, the King of the Five Seas, on the sea. The two sides fought a battle in the spiritual world. Later, only Nast left the spiritual world. .”

"According to our investigation, Nast snatched 008 at that time, but no news was released to the outside world. Only a few deputies around him knew about it."

"Our source comes from Nast's third officer. He can guarantee that Nast did take 008 from Ince Zangwill."

Illya was silent. If it is confirmed that Nast took away Ince Zangwill's 008 when he arrived at Puning Port, then their investigation will have to change direction.

Their main purpose this time is to find the cause of the abnormality in Ince Zangwill and to find out the whereabouts of Sealed Artifact 008.

Among these two things, getting back 008 is the top priority.

Sharon and Hastur's side may be related to the Yellow Monk organization, which may be the reason why Ince Zangwill's anomaly occurred.

After thinking for a while, Illya decided that if the news was confirmed, she would lead the two Red Gloves members out to sea to find the whereabouts of Nast and 008.

Several other members of the Red Gloves stayed in Puning Port and continued to explore along the line of Sharon and Hasta.

"I want to go to the sea to find the whereabouts of 008, and I ask Ms. Illya to agree to my willful decision." The person who spoke was Leonard.

He voluntarily chose to leave Puning Port and head to the sea to carry out a relatively dangerous and unpredictable mission.

Illya glanced at him in surprise, "You have a good relationship with Hastur?"

"He is the first friend I made in Backlund."

"Okay, just follow me out to sea." Illya satisfied Leonard's little willfulness.

He didn't want to personally investigate his good friend, but for the sake of friendship, he chose to take the initiative to carry out more dangerous and unknown tasks. Such a choice made Leonard's whole image radiate with brilliance.

Facing the admiring looks cast by the members of the Red Gloves team, Leonard was like a statue of a warrior, his eyes full of determination and silence.

After returning to his room and lying on the bed, Leonard began to yell at the old man to come out and chat.

"Old man, do you think I'm stupid? It's obviously safer to stay in Puning Port, but I chose to stay away from here and go to the vast sea to find the King of the Five Seas."

"That's the ocean, that's the king of the five seas. Why did I make this choice in a moment of trance?"

"Oh, Hastur, you have harmed me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to suffer this unjust crime."

Leonard kept complaining, but he didn't have much regret in his heart.

He didn't have many friends. Hastur was the first friend he made when he came to Backlund, and he also experienced the witch incident together. He cherished this friendship very much.

I really don’t want to face Hastur as an interrogator for the second time, so it’s better to excuse myself and stay away from here.

"Old man, why don't you say anything?"

"..."

"Do you also think that I am too stupid to make this decision?" Leonard was a little anxious.

After a while, the old man's faint sigh came from deep in his heart.

"It turns out that I wanted to praise you for your decisive choice this time. After all, it's rare for you to show your intelligence. But I didn't expect that I thought too much."

"..."

This time it was Leonard's turn to be silent. Why did this sound wrong?

This means that the old man approves of his choice this time and even plans to praise himself, but his constant complaining breaks the old man's fantasy?

He cleared his throat and said: "Old man, you misunderstood. I just said casually. I made this choice after full consideration, not because I wanted to escape anything."

"Do you believe this yourself?"

Leonard choked for a moment, then asked, "Old man, why do you think it's better to stay away from here?"

"Haha, what do you think?"

The old man's words faded away, leaving Leonard lying alone on the bed in a daze.

……

In an ordinary house in Puning Port, Mrs. Lisa slowly put down the pen in her hand. This was a very ordinary quill pen. She just bought one on the street and it cost her 5 pence.

She doesn't need a gorgeous pen, nor does she need a pen with magical power like 008. As long as she holds the pen in her hand, she can naturally write a script of destiny.

Script writer, she used to like this sequence too.

Of course, she is still unable to compose a perfect script, so she must go out for a walk herself.

The little girl known as the Eyes of the Goddess is a Sequence 3 Beyonder. As time goes by, she will realize that she is affected by some kind of power, and thus break away from the script.

Mrs. Lisa opened the door and walked on the street. She walked towards the hotel in a leisurely and unhurried pace. When she came to the door, she raised her head slightly and looked up, then walked up the stairs to the second floor.

She passed by the door of each room, and when she passed the room where Ilya was, she paused for two or three seconds, and then returned along the original path from the stairs.

"Hey, aren't you the Mrs. Lisa in Hastur Castle who is still writing a book late at night?" Suddenly a voice called her.

Mrs. Lisa looked back with a kind smile on her face, nodded and said, "I'm here to buy some useful quills."

Leonard said with emotion: "It's great. When I get old in the future, I will also prepare to write a few books for myself."

"Writing a book is a very interesting thing. If you need help in this regard, you can come to me."

"I'm afraid of bothering you."

"No trouble, you are the earl's friend." Lady Lisa changed her words specifically.

After the two chatted for a while about how to write a book, Mrs. Lisa took a deep look at Leonard before leaving and said, "If you need help in other aspects, you can come to me."

"Thank you for your kindness. If necessary, I will definitely come to your door to bother you."

After Leonard watched Mrs. Lisa leave with the crowd, he said with emotion: "What a hospitable and energetic old man. At such an age, he can still insist on writing late at night. Those who only write two or three chapters a day The author should be ashamed of himself."

Back at the hotel, Leonard went up to the second floor and was about to go back to his room to rest when Ms. Illya's door opened.

Leonard walked forward and said hello, and Illya nodded slightly, "We will take a boat sail tomorrow. If you need anything else to prepare, you can prepare it today."

In this regard, Leonard asked curiously: "Have you confirmed that 008 is in the hands of the King of the Five Seas?"

"Well, we should leave early so that we can return to Backlund as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'm going to prepare things now."

Leonard went down the stairs again and went to the shops on both sides of the street to buy some daily necessities.

On this trip to the sea, I don’t know how long I will stay at sea, so it is better to stock up on some things to avoid having to rely on fish every day.

After working for most of the day, it wasn't until after nine o'clock in the evening that Leonard came back with a large bag of things to finish today's shopping.

After taking a shower first, Leonard lay comfortably on the bed and rested for a while before he shouted in his heart: "Old man, you are very quiet today."

"Ah."

"Old man, you don't seem to be in a good mood?"

"Heartless people are always happier."

"Hey, old man, I'm really caring about you, why did you suddenly attack me personally?"

"I'm just telling the truth."

Leonard was used to the old man's tone and was too lazy to talk to him. He thought for a moment and said, "Old man, do you think 008 really fell into the hands of Nast, the King of the Five Seas? I always feel that something is wrong with this matter. .”

"If someone wants 008 to fall into his hands, it must fall into his hands."

"Old man, why do you keep talking in circles?"

Leonard muttered dissatisfiedly, but no one answered him.

At around seven o'clock the next day, Leonard and another team member followed Ilya to the sea.

When the ship gradually disappeared at the end of the sea and sky, Mrs. Lisa withdrew her sight and closed the window facing the sea.

……

In the old castle, Hastur is also letting people pack their things. He is planning to go to Puning Port to settle down for a while and reorganize the navy in the three ports.

After Mrs. Lisa came back, she went straight to the study to meet Hastur.

"Is the matter done?"

"Some of them have gone to sea to look for 008, and your friend is among them."

Hasta raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Is this also your arrangement?"

"No, it's his choice."

"It seems that he doesn't want to stay here and face me." Hasta laughed, feeling pretty good.

Mrs. Lisa was a little uncertain and said: "There seems to be something in his body that can interfere with destiny, or he is parasitized by a powerful extraordinary person."

Hastur asked curiously, "Can you clearly see the secret of Leonard?"

"You can probably guess what it is. We are very close to each other. I am quite sensitive to unusual fluctuations in fate, especially the ability to parasitize and steal."

Hastur waved his hand and said: "You don't need to intervene in this matter, just pretend that nothing happened."

Mrs. Lisa didn’t say anything more and left the study quietly.
