Mystery: The Stars Returner

Earl Hall's house.

Audrey, who had spent 2000 gold pounds, was sitting at her desk. There was also a Bible from the Church of the Night on the table.

She was atoning for the idea of ​​questioning the goddess that came up in her mind during the Tarot meeting. She did not have any blasphemous thoughts. On the contrary, she held a positive attitude towards many of the teachings of the Church of the Night.

After reading quietly for an hour, she closed the book and glanced at Susie, who was lying at the bottom of the window sill and reading the books carefully under the sunset.

Well, it is also wearing a pair of gold-rimmed round glasses, which was a gift I gave it some time ago.

Susie, who noticed Audrey's gaze, raised her head and briefly retreated from the world in the book.

"Audrey, are you worried today?"

"What did you see again?" Audrey wanted to test Susie.

"You are hesitating, you are doubting, you are ashamed of your unsteady thoughts, and you are still a little excited. You want to discuss it with me, but you don't want me to know too much."

"..."

Audrey was silent, her eyes turned to the cover of the book Susie was reading, "On the Correlation between Behavior and Psychology".

Should I also find time to take a look? Otherwise, if this continues, I will really be left behind by Susie.

"Audrey, you don't like to read church books on weekdays. Did you encounter something related to the church?"

Susie stood up from the ground, took two steps in the direction of Audrey, and said: "Your belief is the goddess of the night. Are you questioning your belief in the goddess just now? That's why you read the church books, Want to use this to relieve yourself of the guilt of having unsteady thoughts?"

It took a few steps closer and stared into Audrey's eyes with piercing eyes. "Did your pupils shrink unconsciously just now because I guessed something was wrong? You just experienced something important today, or received something... News that can impact what you’ve long believed in?”

Audrey didn't speak, but her body straightened unnaturally. Susie came to Audrey's feet, rubbed her thigh with her head, waggled her tail, raised her head and said, "Audrey, you It’s really easy to understand what’s going on in your mind.”

After a moment of silence, Audrey lowered her head slightly, stretched out her hand to rub Susie's head, and said with a smile on her face: "Susie, Emperor Russell once said that animals that are too smart tend to be bald."

Susie looked surprised and her eyes were full of shock, "Audrey, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, do you know a creature like a vulture? It's just because it's so smart that it uses its brain too much, resulting in a bald head with no hair. You can't be like it..."

Audrey spoke in a calm tone, which was a bit perceptive.

Susie stopped wagging her tail and said seriously: "Audrey, do you finally think I'm smart? I've always felt this way myself, but the book says you shouldn't overestimate yourself too much, as that will lead to fame. For the devil of pride.”

"..."

Audrey's expression was blank for a few seconds, she took away the hand that was rubbing Susie's head, turned her back to Susie, sat up straight, opened the book of the Church of the Night, found the page recording the commandments, and looked at it silently .

Harvest Church, Bridge South District.

Under the setting sun, Emlyn unknowingly walked to the door of Harvest Church again and looked at the inconspicuous-looking church.

He encouraged himself in his heart that it was time to make a break!

Just one last look today, and he will stay away from here in the future. Although the teachings of the Earth Mother Goddess are very good, and the harvest is indeed joyful, he does not want to betray the faith of his blood clan.

Not to mention that the ancestor Lilith also entrusted him with the glorious task of saving the entire vampire race.

As the future savior of the vampire clan, he must not have second thoughts.

But before he knew it, his legs seemed to have a mind of their own and had entered the door of Harvest Church one step ahead of his mouth.

That's all, let's just say goodbye to the priest for the last time.

But when he saw clearly the situation inside the church, his eyes widened and a series of questions filled his mind.

I saw a group of senior members of their vampire clan coming to the Harvest Church. Even the vampire prince came in person, as well as the young vampires who usually bullied him and didn't deal with him.

They were crowded inside the small church, some were busy wiping tables, some were wiping glass, some were sweeping the floor...

Father Utravsky was holding a sacred book from the Church of the Mother Earth and watching all this.

Seeing Emlyn's arrival, Father Utravsky smiled and said kindly: "It's up to you to teach them how to work correctly."

"Ok."

Emlyn's mouth had already responded to this matter.

Didn’t you agree to end things with this Harvest Church?

After two or three seconds of silence, Emlyn shattered all these thoughts. Even the blood prince was condescending to work here at the Harvest Church. What did his personal honor and disgrace count?

Moreover, there are not many opportunities to direct these annoying guys to work openly.

Emlyn's mood instantly became joyful, and his belief in the Mother Earth further deepened.

……

Port Puning, South Wales.

When the ferry from the southern continent docked, a little black cat nimbly passed through the crowded crowd at the pier, dodged left and right, and then jumped onto a woman as delicate as a doll.

"Meow!"

Azshara was very excited and snuggled into Sharon's arms, meowing as if she was recounting her experiences during this period.

Sharon lowered her eyes slightly, stretched out her hand to stroke Azshara's little head, and her expressionless face seemed to have a touch of tenderness.

Just now when the ferry arrived at Puning Port Pier, Gray Carrie opened the door to the spirit world and returned to the spirit world.

A Gray Carrie left, and another Azshara came.

When Sharon hugged Azshara and walked out of the dock, she saw Hastur standing at the wooden fence on the side, waving to her.

After a moment's hesitation, she waved in Hastur's direction.

Sharon and Hastur did not choose to take the carriage back, but walked along the coast, admiring the sunset that was almost blending into the sea.

Hastur did not ask about Sharon's experience in the Southern Continent, because he had already seen through Gray Carrie's vision how smooth her journey was.

He briefly introduced his situation during this period and talked about Azshara's promotion to a Sequence 7 witch.

"She can't turn into a human yet. I don't know if she is pretending to be stupid with me on purpose or because she is too stupid."

Having said this, Hastur sighed. He had been looking forward to Azshara transforming into a cat-eared girl.

During this period, many methods were used, including threats and inducements, but even the invincible Xiao Yugan failed.

Faced with the temptation of dried fish, Azshara deliberately showed doubts and confusion, and then when he wasn't paying attention, she took the dried fish away and ran to the rafters of her home.

Sharon just lowered her head and glanced at Azshara, who was pretending to be asleep. She already understood something in her heart and said calmly: "Maybe your expectations are too high."

"Are your expectations too high?" Hastur frowned slightly and said, "Do I need to advance to a higher order to transform into an adult?"

"It's possible." Sharon gave an uncertain answer.

"Forget it, let nature take its course."

Hastur is not too demanding. He still has the resources to be promoted from a Sequence 7 Witch to a Sequence 6 Happy Witch.

If something was missing, he would ask the members of the Yellow Monks to help him find it. They had always been very professional in this kind of thing.

Back in the study at home, when Hastur and Sharon were alone, Sharon asked about Gray Carrie.

Hasta chuckled and said: "Aren't all messengers in the spirit world like this? It's weird. At that time, even your teacher wanted to apply for the job of messenger."

"Then do you know His true origin?" Sharon deliberately emphasized the word Him.

"I know, I have signed a contract with Him. You just need to treat Him as a somewhat special messenger from the spirit world. You should let Him do the errands for the letters that should be delivered by Him."

After hearing this, Sharon also understood that Hastur deliberately did not want to reveal the identity of Gray Carrie, so she did not continue to ask.

Hastur looked at Sharon and said in a gentle tone: "His origin is a bit bigger, and the answer is a bit more outrageous than the answer you guessed."

Sharon just nodded, indicating that she understood.

Seeing that this conversation seemed to be dead to him, Hastur turned and smiled and said: "Didn't you bring some gifts to Azshara when you went to the Southern Continent?"

"Meow!"

Azshara, who was still pretending to be asleep, suddenly woke up and quickly moved from the window sill to the sofa where Sharon was sitting. She put her two front paws on her legs, raised her head slightly, and looked at her with watery eyes. .

"I forgot to bring it." Sharon's gentle mouth spoke ruthlessly.

Azshara was about to cry. She lay on Sharon's lap and began to roll back and forth.

Sharon stretched out her white fingers and poked Azshara's little head, "The things are in the suitcase."

If it wasn't for the purpose of bringing something back, she would have left quietly when she disembarked just now, so as not to be surrounded by the crowd.

Azshara immediately turned over, jumped off the sofa, and ran into the room where Sharon lived.

"Do you have my gift?" Hastur also came over and sat in the empty seat next to Sharon. His eyes were somewhat similar to Azshara's, bright and clean.

Sharon just looked at him without speaking.

Hastur coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Actually, I am also very good at acting like a spoiled child."
