Mystery: The Stars Returner

Covered by a small firebird no bigger than its head...

Sharon's mood is a bit complicated, but looking at the current situation, the three people here are obviously very afraid of the existence of the little Firebird, and they are also valued a bit.

"excuse me."

Sharon spoke first to break the silence.

"You are very lucky." The mysterious lady said, and then said to the little firebird: "I hope you will not repeat the same path as Salinger."

"Chirp." The little firebird replied, and the mysterious lady disappeared, like a portrait that was suddenly erased.

As she left, the strange feeling in the entire cafe disappeared. The sounds of chatting around her could be heard clearly, but they still couldn't see what was happening here.

Azik was in a good mood and said with a smile on his face: "You look confused?"

"Yes." Sharon answered shortly.

"Then sit down and chat."

"Chirp."

Gray Carrie flew to Sharon's right shoulder, indicating that she could sit down and have a chat.

Sharon glanced at the middle-aged man who was still kneeling on the ground and hesitated.

"Get up." Azik's calm tone contained an irresistible majesty.

Jerrold Eggers raised his head and turned to look at the little firebird on Sharon's shoulder, but the little firebird didn't even bother to give him a look.

After hesitating, he stood up and stood respectfully aside.

Sharon then sat down and thought for a moment: "Does my arrival mean something?"

Azik shook his head, "It's not you we care about."

Sharon breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to get into any unnecessary entanglements with her fate.

"Does it have any unusual origin?" Sharon asked the biggest doubt in her heart.

"Don't say it. If you have a chance in the future, you will naturally know." Azik just smiled and didn't say much.

Sharon turned her head slightly and glanced at the little firebird standing on her shoulder, concentrating on combing its chest feathers. It was hard for her to imagine what kind of shocking origin this little thing could have.

She had witnessed Hastur signing a contract with it, and vaguely remembered that its name was Gray Carrie.

"Chirp?"

Gray Carrie also raised her head and looked at Sharon, then lightly rubbed her cheek with her wings to show friendship.

Azik smiled and said, "I hope you can guide him in a better direction."

Him? !

Sharon was keenly aware of this unusual title, which meant that the little Firebird was at least an angel.

Shock inevitably flashed in her eyes, it turned out that He could really cover her.

Gray Carrie raised her little head slightly, as if to say, do you finally believe that I can protect you?

Sharon sighed in her heart. An angel turned out to be Hastur's spiritual messenger, responsible for delivering messages. It was such a luxury...

"Perhaps this is the best arrangement." Azik sighed with emotion, and then said: "I will stay in the palace of the East Balam Empire during this period. If you need help with anything, you can come to me. You can ask him to finish it for you.”

Sharon said politely: "Thank you."

"It's my honor to serve you." Jerrold Eggers, standing aside, lowered his attitude.

Then, as an elder, Azik imparted a lot of occult knowledge to Sharon, which gave her a clearer understanding of her future path.

Before leaving, Sharon asked, "What should I call you?"

"You can call me Mr. Azik. I like this identity. Teaching and educating people is my current job. Of course, I am on vacation now."

Azik smiled brightly.

……

In the Palace of Stars, Hastur also witnessed their entire conversation in the cafe.

He also did not expect that in a cafe, Azik and Arianna, a believer of the goddess of the night, would gather.

The failure of the Night Goddess has long been doomed. When Gray Carrie returns from resurrection from the depths of the spiritual world, she will no longer be able to obtain the uniqueness of the path to death.

If He really fights Gray Carrie, even if he wins, then the Hades Emperor Salinger will return.

No matter what, he cannot easily obtain the uniqueness of the God of Death, and no matter how stupid the God of War is, he cannot remain unaware of it.

Speaking of which, all of this comes from the butterfly effect brought about by oneself.

If he hadn't resurrected Gray Carrie when he signed the messenger from the spirit world, the uniqueness of the path to death would still be in the hands of the goddess of the night.

As for why he was able to awaken Gray Carrie, he could only guess that it was the special nature of the Palace of Stars.

"Sharon must be confused today." Hasta raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "I really want to see Sharon's expression at this time in person."

……

When Sharon walked out of the cafe, she looked a little dazed.

What happened today was too bizarre.

"Chirp."

"Aren't you planning to return to the spirit world?"

"Chirp."

"As you wish."

Sharon knew that there was no way she could make Him leave. Even if an angel had the same accident as her teacher, she couldn't control it.

He must have had his own plans in choosing to follow him.

Got on the carriage and continued to the palace of the East Balam Empire.

I thought that because she wasted so much time in the cafe, the meeting might have ended.

But when she joined the others in the Highland Kingdom, she learned that the king of the East Balam Empire suddenly decided to meet them in person, and the meeting had not yet begun.

When the meeting began, Sharon understood why the king of the East Balam Empire wanted to receive them in person, because this king was the middle-aged man who had knelt before Mr. Azik and the Little Firebird.

With this relationship, the interview process was very relaxed.

The polite attitude made the people of the Highland Kingdom very suspicious. Could it be that the country that really needs to form an alliance to resist risks is the East Balam Empire?

Otherwise, why would you be so polite to them?

At night, Gray Carrie finally left Sharon's side, which made Sharon feel much more relaxed.

Even though she knew that Gray Carrie had no ill intentions towards her, it was too much pressure to be watched by an angel all the time.

Deep in the East Balam Empire Palace, Azik was sitting at his desk, flipping through the two books he bought today.

A small firebird flew in from the window and landed on the table. Its eyes were deep and serene, and there was a golden flame burning inside.

Azik was not surprised by such a visit. He had already known that the day was just a simple prelude, and the night was the real beginning.

He had no way of knowing what the purpose of this resurrected Death God was, and could only guess.

"I'm here to give you two choices. The first choice is that you help me suppress Salinger's consciousness. When I fully grasp the power of the God of Death, I will return half of your soul so that you can restore your complete soul.

From now on, you will no longer lose your memory and will still be the Death Archon of Sequence 2. If you are willing, you can become the angel I sit on. "

"The second option is, if you are determined to resurrect Salinger and let him be reborn in your body, then I can only choose to kill you and cut off the possibility of Salinger's recovery.

You should understand that when it comes to power struggles, I cannot allow such hidden dangers to exist. "

A voice that could not be distinguished as male or female came from the little fire bird's mouth. The golden flames dancing in his eyes were vaguely visible with a circle of pale flames.

That was proof that Hades Emperor Salinger had not been completely devoured.

Originally, he did not want to meet Azik so early, because it would cause Salinger's consciousness to awaken, which would not be conducive to his mastering the complete authority of the God of Death.

But with the help of the contract he signed with the stars, he saw a corner of the future. If he didn't take this trip, other variables might occur.

So taking this opportunity to send a message, He stayed with Sharon and then appeared in front of Azik.

Azik was silent for a while. The experience of being reborn many times made him long for the warmth of family affection. This warmth was something that Salinger could not give him, because all he left for him was the biting cold.

"I want to know who you really are?"

"Grey Carrie."

"Ancestor of the Phoenix...haven't you already fallen?"

"Salinger will leave behind the means of resurrection, so naturally I have prepared a method of rebirth for myself."

Azik puzzled: "When my father was promoted to become the new God of Death, why are you still alive?"

Gray Carrie looked at him deeply and said, "The God of Death can never truly die."

"So that's it." Azik nodded thoughtfully.

"It's time for you to make a choice."

"Compared to dying completely, I naturally hope to live, but I don't want to be the angel you sit on. The life of the Death Archon is too cold. I prefer my current identity."

Azik did not choose to resurrect his father Salinger.

His resurrection means his own death. People are selfish. Since He doesn't care about family ties, he will not be bound by the so-called fetters of family ties.

He prefers his current life, living as Azik, a teacher in the history department of Hoy University.

He also wants to go to Loen Kingdom's Winter County and the northern part of Feysac Empire for vacation, skiing, seeing the scenery, fishing for seals...

If a person is too bored, he can also bring his student Klein. Like himself, he is gentle at heart and likes a peaceful life.
