Mystery: The Stars Returner

Hastur looked at the okay-looking marionette master again, "I'll give you a choice. Should you die first or your marionette?"

"Let me die first." A painful struggle flashed in the man's eyes, and his voice was hoarse. It didn't sound like a normal timbre, it sounded more like he had been poisoned.

"Tell me the story about you and this marionette, satisfy my curiosity, and I will grant your wish."

"Story? Haha, it is indeed a good story." The man's eyes were full of ridicule. He glanced at the Happy Witch who was tied to the ground, was silent for a moment, and then slowly began to tell his story.

His real name is Roger Dolin. He became a diviner at the age of eighteen and was promoted to a Sequence 7 magician at the age of twenty-five. He is also a member of the Mechanical Heart of the Church of Steam and Machinery and has a bright future. bright.

It was at this age that he met Miss Emma. At the first sight, he determined that this person was the life partner he had always wanted to work with for a lifetime.

After his hard pursuit, he finally got married to her as he wished.

A few years later, they gave birth to a lovely son. Everything was so beautiful, but beauty is meant to be destroyed.

His wife usually hides it so well that even he doesn't notice that she is actually an extraordinary person and a member of the Witch Sect!

When she was promoted to the pleasure witch, she couldn't control her desire for pleasure because he was away on missions for a long time.

Perhaps she had never restrained this desire. Her corrupt private life and unfaithfulness to her feelings made Roger feel betrayed.

After persuading her to no avail, after he was promoted to Secret Puppet Master, he made her into a Secret Puppet, the only Secret Puppet that belonged exclusively to him.

After that, he also left the Church of Steam and Machinery, became a wild Beyonder, and began his wandering career.

This time, he happened to be found by the confidant of the Archduke of Southwell. In front of the huge reward, he took over tonight's task.

Assassin is the initial sequence of the Witch Path. In his opinion, Extraordinaries on the Witch Path do not need to use charming and joyful means to kill their opponents. Assassins only need to be proficient in assassination.

Unfortunately, he misjudged his opponent tonight.

Not only was the Marionette captured instantly, but he himself was also captured.

After listening to his story, Hastur raised his eyebrows slightly and clicked his tongue. He turned his once loving wife into a marionette. It was really a pathological possessiveness.

"Can I bury my bones with hers?" After struggling painfully, Roger Dorling made this last request with an affectionate look.

Just when Hastur was about to agree to this request, the Marionette of the Pleasure Witch, which was bound by the star chain, started to tremble slightly.

Is this happiness?

Do they have such a loving relationship as a couple?

Hastur was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and used the extraordinary ability of the Night Path to enter the mind and memory of the pleasure witch.

Here, he saw a slightly different version of the story.

This Miss Emma is indeed a member of the Witch Cult, and was already a Sequence 7 witch before marrying Roger.

She didn't like Roger from the beginning, but she couldn't resist his pressing and threatening, so she finally married Roger.

As for the fact that she was a witch of the Witch Cult, Roger already knew about it before they got married, and even used this fact to force her to submit by threatening to report to the church.

After marriage, Roger, as a member of the Heart of Machines, often performed tasks outside and did not come home for many years.

As a member of the Witch Sect and successfully promoted to Sequence 6 Happy Witch, she naturally cannot protect herself for Roger.

Pleasure in bed is the best antidote for witches to avoid madness.

Later, Roger returned from a mission. Because he was too anxious when he was promoted to Sequence 5 Secret Puppet Master, his mood was unstable, sometimes crazy, sometimes irritable.

When Roger saw her lying on someone else's bed, his pent-up emotions exploded.

She was no match, so she was cruelly made into a marionette by Roger, forced to stay by his side, and driven around like a slave.

In Emma's memory, it was also mentioned that the child between her and Roger was actually a baby girl, but Emma followed the tradition of the Witch Cult and sent the baby girl away to find someone else to raise her, and then stole it. A baby boy returns to be Roger's son.

Having satisfied his desire to eat melon, Hastur left the memory of the pleasure witch and looked at Roger with a look full of ridicule.

"You, what did you see in her memory?" Roger became anxious and his voice became much louder.

"Aren't you a fortune teller? Didn't you do your fortune-telling carefully?"

Hastur didn't bother to listen to his answer, so he asked the yellow monks to take him down and deal with it. He could be considered to have completed the achievement of Zhan Jian Da tonight.

As for this witch golem, Hastur also asked members of the yellow monks to handle it, and the whole room instantly became much cleaner.

Tonight, in addition to getting a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of the Sequence 4 Corrupted Earl and Marionette Master, he also got three extraordinary items.

One of them came from the fallen Earl, and the other two came from Master Hu Luo.

This secret puppet master is called Roger Dolin, and there is nothing wrong with calling him Master Luo.

After Hastur figured out the abilities and negative effects of the three extraordinary items, he only left the extraordinary item that had the same path as his.

This is a black ring with red lines. At the top of the ring, there is a black rose blooming, called the Rose Oath.

It has three extraordinary functions.

The first bud is ready to bloom, and a huge black rose blooms in an instant, which can wrap enemies who cannot dodge in the rose petals. A series of negative effects such as chaos, distortion, and corruption will devour the enemy in an instant.

The second perception increase, it can effectively enhance the wearer's perception ability, with about a quarter increase.

The third is to make a vow. The wearer can choose a person and make a vow with him based on certain rules. The specific content of the vow can be drawn up by himself.

Rose Oath has two negative effects.

Flowers have thorns: Every time you use the ability of Rose Oath, thorns that are small enough to pierce the skin of your finger will grow inside the ring. Every time you use it again, the dense thorns will become longer and penetrate deeper. Inside the flesh and blood of your fingers.

If used without restraint, the entire finger will be completely penetrated, and this penetration will also be accompanied by corrosive infection, making the wound difficult to heal.

Destruction of oaths: Oaths, contracts, and agreements exist only to be broken. When you make a oath, you will always be tempted to break the oath. Once you break the oath, you will be punished for breaking the rules.

It's probably like putting several layers of debuffs on you, such as feeling exhausted and weak, being inexplicably plagued by bad luck, being struck by lightning while walking on the road, mutating in various parts of the body, etc.

Although the negative effects are a bit severe, the effects are equally effective, and they are easy to wear and easy to activate at critical moments.

The only inconvenient thing is that the Oath of the Rose is easily recognized when worn on the finger.

This fallen Earl is most likely from Backlund. There should be no such extraordinary and powerful person around the Archduke of Southwell.

After all, it is not that simple to want a demigod to serve you.

The next day, at dawn, the Archduke of Southwell, who had been waiting all night, sent someone to investigate Hastur's situation.

When the people sent there saw Hastur walking out of the room safely and leisurely enjoying a cup of hot tea in the morning.

After receiving the news, the Archduke of Southwell angrily pushed the books on the desk to the ground in his study.

As for the two losers who had sworn to get things done, they realized that the situation was not good and wanted to escape. He had already sent people to chop them into pieces and throw them into the sea to feed the fish.

He didn't care about the life or death of these two people. What he cared about was the people he sent out secretly.

That man was his father, specially sent to protect him to prevent him from suddenly and inexplicably dying.

Now, that person disappeared all night and did not come back, and no news was sent back. It is basically a very bad thing.

"Oh, Earl Campbell, you are so capable!"

The Archduke of Southwell whispered bitterly, with a flash of determination in his eyes. He came to the desk, took out a pen and paper, and began to write a letter, preparing to send it back to Backlund to explain the matter.

Before he finished writing the letter, Hastur sent someone to come and bring him a message: "Thank you to the Grand Duke for your warm reception last night and allowing me to spend a wonderful night. I also hope that the Grand Duke will be happy every night in the future." May you have a good sleep and good dreams.”

The Archduke of Southwell was so angry that his teeth almost broke, but he still sent someone to reply to Hastur: "There is still a long road ahead in life. I hope Earl Campbell will have a smooth journey, no illness or pain, and no unknown bad luck!"

When he received the good wishes from the Archduke of Southwell, Hasta had already purchased some gifts in a store near the street.

After all, I had to go out and bring something back with me, otherwise Azshara's little guy would start meowing again.

……

After returning to Port Punin, Hastur gave Caius full responsibility for handling the Archduke of Southwell.

He only gave Caius a word, hoping that when he returned from Backlund, things would be calm in South Wales.

After spending two days and arranging some things, Hastur took Sharon, Azshara, and Lady Lisa back to Backlund.

He also invited Miss Audrey's second brother by the way. He originally thought Alfred would refuse, but he didn't expect that he would also return to Backlund this time.

It was said that Earl Hall was planning to arrange a marriage for him in Backlund.

Out of curiosity, Hastur specifically asked Alfred's age.

At the age of twenty-six, a man is in his prime youth.

Hasta was thinking about another issue. Audrey had just turned eighteen during the Chinese New Year last year, which meant there was an eight-year age difference between the two.

This age difference... Count Hall is really getting older and stronger.
