Mystery: The Stars Returner

"You actually left?"

Hasta, who had just had dinner, was surprised when he heard the report.

The three of them had just had drinks last night, and judging by the tone of their conversation, they had no intention of leaving.

Maybe there is some new assignment from the church.

Hastur didn't think too much. The departure of Klein and Greste made him feel a lot cleaner.

Recently, he asked the monks in yellow to search for the extraordinary materials of the Sequence 5 Chaos Mentor, and the results have come.

Now you just need to wait for the Corrupted Baron potion to be completely digested before you can be promoted.

According to his own estimation, it should take another two to three months, probably around the middle of the year.

The further you go, the harder it is to get promoted, and the easier it is to have problems.

He got up and went to the study on the second floor. He was about to open the pencil case and take out 008 to take a look at the latest developments of Klein and Greste.

"Meow."

Azshara jumped onto his lap, raised her little eyes, and looked at him aggrievedly, as if she was accusing something.

After listening for a while, Hasta understood what was going on and said with a smile: "Sharon bullies you, then you bully her back while she is playing the role of a puppet, and then run away after flirting with her."

"Meow?"

"Oh, you said what the little fish did, how about reducing the number from two a day to one a day?"

"Meow!"

Azshara quickly jumped off Hastur's lap and left without looking back.

After the interlude, Hastur opened the pencil case, took a piece of white paper, and put it on the table.

"I want to know how Klein and the others are doing."

008 skillfully wrote a line on the paper: "The new mission from Backlund has transferred them away from Puning Port. They are planning to take the ferry to Bansi Port tomorrow."

"Those who are loved by fate are destined to walk on a rugged mountain road. The stable and warm life will eventually be crushed by the ruthless waves and swept away."

"A corner of fate is signaling the beginning of an extraordinary life. Klein, a man full of mysteries, is about to undergo huge changes in his life."

Today's 008 Shen Shen Nao Nao feels a bit like a bad guy.

Bansi Port?

He would actually go to that place.

Hastur leaned back slightly and thought about this with half-squinted eyes.

As the war in the southern continent begins, the red priest, who symbolizes war, will escape from trouble, and abnormalities will also occur in Bansi Port.

These are all foreseeable things, but why would Klein be asked to deal with them?

Is this an oracle from the goddess of the night?

Even he can't stand the fact that Klein has been living a peaceful and stable life?

So I deliberately gave him a little stimulation so that he could quickly embark on a path of growth.

Or maybe it's because the Outer God's frequent actions in the past have made the goddess of the night realize that something is wrong, so she wants to speed up the emergence of the new Lord of Mysteries.

Hastur thought this was the most likely guess.

"Do you know what happened in Banxi Port?" Hasta thought about it and deliberately tested 008.

"That will be the starting point of the war, and characters who should have been buried in history will return as evil spirits."

"He is the ultimate red, the red of war. When He returns, a wave of trembling weapons will surely arise on the earth!"

Hearing this, Hasta asked with a smile: "Then do you know the honorable name of this red priest?"

"Medici."

Perhaps in order not to be noticed, 008 deliberately wrote these three words in three paragraphs.

"No, this is just His original name, and now He has a new name." Hastur shook his head and rejected this answer.

008 was stunned for a while, then he happily scribbled on the paper, and finally drew a circle with three heads entangled with each other.

Hasta took a look and praised: "Not bad. I didn't expect that in addition to your good calligraphy, you are also good at painting."

008 became even more excited and urged Hastur to get a new piece of white paper, obviously intending to draw a more shocking painting.

Hasta obeyed it and allowed it to draw on the paper in its excitement.

In his mind, he was thinking about Medici, no, it should be about Soren Einhorn Medici.

If South Wales will become a battlefield in the future, it is very likely that the red priest will come here after he escapes.

In order to prevent Him from coming to trouble, you still need to prepare in advance.

Hasta thought for a moment and realized that the painting drawn by 008 had been completed. It turned out to be a sunset picture of Puning Port.

Although it is just a black line outline, the artist's profound skills can be seen in every stroke.

Even if this work is put up for auction, there will be people willing to spend money to collect it.

"I'll have it colored later, put it in a frame and mount it."

Upon hearing this, 008 hurriedly blacked out the painting, and then slowly started to write on a new piece of paper.

Obviously, 008 is going to use his real skills this time.

Hastur just smiled and admired 008's painting. In comparison, 008's painting level far exceeded him.

Twenty minutes later, 008 completed the new painting.

It’s the same sunset picture of Puning Port, but the sense of space is grasped more accurately. As for the overall light and dark tones, this requires color grading in the later stage.

008 asked for a good painter to color his painting. Of course, Hasta would not refuse such a small request.

"After you finish it, hang this painting in the study."

"Master, you are so kind, woo woo woo..."

Hastur has gradually become immune to 008's sugar-coated bullets, put 008 back into the pen box, and left the study.

The third room on the right side of the corridor is Sharon's room, next to Hastur's bedroom.

When she came outside the door, she saw Azshara being held in Sharon's arms and being kneaded.

Apparently Azshara had done something outrageous just now and was being caught by Sharon.

Seeing Hastur arriving, Azshara immediately cast a look for help.

Hastur gave Azshara a reassuring smile, then closed the door and returned to his room to rest.

……

Backlund, St. Samuel's Church.

After Leonard finished his work during the day and returned to his room to rest, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

He quickly lay on the bed and called the old man to come out and clear up the confusion.

"Old man, I suddenly feel something is wrong. Is something big going to happen?"

"Can you change anything?"

"..." Leonard choked directly on this sentence.

"When you don't have any ability to change things, just stay silent and be an ordinary person."

"Old man, listening to your tone, is something big really going to happen?"

"The earth will rise up with swords."

"When?"

"No more than a year at the latest."

Leonard was silent. He suddenly felt that what the old man said was right.

He knew what could happen to these things, it was not that nothing could be changed.

When Leonard sighed and was about to take a rest, there was a sudden knock on the door.

He quickly got up and opened the door.

Outside the door was a church clergyman. He said that Archbishop Anthony had something to see him.

Leonard's bad premonition became stronger and he hurried to the church.

Under the bright candlelight, every detail of the carvings in the church was reflected. Archbishop Anthony stood in the center of the empty church with a small note in his hand.

When Leonard arrived, Archbishop Anthony handed him the note in his hand.

After taking a deep breath, Leonard spread out the note.

"The situation in Bansi Port has changed! Klein's whereabouts are unknown!"

The handwriting on it was slightly messy, and it was obviously written in a critical situation.

Taking another deep breath, Leonard clenched the note tightly and said calmly: "The bishop called me here tonight. Does he want me to go to Banxi Port to help?"

"Someone has already dealt with this matter." Archbishop Anthony looked at Leonard, who looked a little off, and paused for a few seconds before saying: "You have a good relationship with Klein. If anyone in his family asks about it in the future, you will be asked by You go and explain.”

"It's just that his whereabouts are unknown, it's not that serious. I believe that with Klein's good luck, he will definitely be able to come back alive, and the goddess will definitely point him in the direction of return."

"Praise the goddess."

Archbishop Anthony said nothing more, and Leonard returned to his room with heavy steps.

Lying on the bed completely weak, he took out the note and looked at it a few more times, then let out a long sigh.

No wonder he felt suddenly uneasy today. Something happened to Klein.

According to the tradition of the Nighthawks, if you write that your whereabouts are unknown, you can default to death.

But he didn't believe that Klein would die so easily. In Tingen, under the control of Ince Zangwill's script, Klein could survive safely.

Can Bansi Port be more terrifying than Ince Zangwill plus 008?

And this time, the people responsible for handling the Bansi Port incident were also members of Greste and the Church of Storms.

With Klein's cautious temperament, he would not let himself fall into danger by mistake. This situation must have occurred because of other changes.

"Old man, I want to go to Bansi Port."

"It's best to stay away at this stage."

Leonard's expression moved slightly, "Is there really any great danger there?"

"Huh, what do you think you can change?"

Leonard was completely silent. The old man always kept saying this, but he didn't take it seriously.

Only now did he truly understand the weight of this sentence.
