Mystery: The Stars Returner

Above the gray mist, Klein sat at the head of the long bronze table, looking slightly downward, overlooking the scene coming from Miss Magician.

"Dear Mr. Fool, I recently learned a huge secret. I thought you would be interested in it, so I took the liberty to disturb you late at night."

"Tell me." Klein just said calmly.

"It's like this. I got accurate news from a big shot, King George III of the Loen Kingdom. He recently wants to be promoted to the Sequence 0 Black Emperor."

Hearing this, Klein immediately regained his energy. He got accurate information from Russell's diary. At the last moment of his life, Russell jumped to the path of the Black Emperor.

If George III succeeds in being promoted to Sequence 0 Black Emperor, Russell, who is not yet dead, will completely fall.

He was still grateful to this fellow countryman who helped him a lot, but he just wanted to influence George III to be promoted to Black Emperor, but his power alone was still too weak.

"I wonder if Mr. Fool has ever heard of the Kapin case that caused a lot of commotion in Backlund. The Loen royal family was the manipulator behind the Kapin case. They sold a large number of slaves in order to build the mausoleum needed to be promoted to the Black Emperor... "

Forsi continued, telling all about the crimes committed by George III.

After saying that, she lowered her eyes, feeling very uneasy, fearing that Mr. Fool would suddenly ask her about the origin of the news.

Klein really wanted to ask Miss Magician about the source of this information, but he thought it would be too cheap to ask such questions based on Mr. Fool’s all-knowing image.

"Promoted to Black Emperor? This is not a good time." Klein chuckled enigmatically, and then cut off contact with Miss Magician.

In order to verify the authenticity of these messages, Klein used the power of gray fog to confirm it through divination.

The final answer is that what the magician said tonight is true.

Klein was silent, thinking of the innocent girl in the Capin case and the Backlund smog incident.

In order to be promoted to Black Emperor, George III teamed up with the Witch Cult to do so many evil things. Can he really watch the other party succeed in being promoted?

After just thinking for a moment, he already had the answer in his mind.

"I need a helping hand."

Klein quickly thought of Bernadette, the mysterious queen. She was Russell's daughter. She was definitely more active than him when it came to George III's promotion to Black Emperor.

She is now a believer in the stars. With the authority of the stars to watch everything, He will definitely tell Bernadette such important news.

Klein thought seriously for a moment, and after returning to the real world, he contacted Will.

There are currently beings in Backlund who have the ability to intervene in George III's transformation into a god, and Will can definitely be considered one of them.

Will, lazily wearing blue floral pajamas with star patterns, appeared in his dream.

After hearing what Klein wanted to ask about, Will suddenly became energetic and looked at Klein with complicated and embarrassed eyes.

"George III really wants to take this opportunity to become a god, but with your strength you can't stop him at all, let alone the fact that he has a bunch of available subordinates and helpers around him."

Will looked down upon this.

"I know, that's why I came to you to see if you knew of any way to stop Him."

"Destroying His tomb can shake the foundation of His becoming a god. The more tombs that are destroyed, the easier it is for His promotion to fail." Will gave his own suggestion after thinking briefly.

"Thank you." Klein was very satisfied with this suggestion.

Will coughed lightly and said, "Originally I could have helped you a little, but recently that stupid snake Ouroleus has been keeping an eye on me in Backlund, making it difficult for me to spare my hands to help you."

"Are you in danger?"

"Don't worry, I've played hide-and-seek with Him countless times. He hasn't been able to catch me yet, but I can't take the initiative to reveal my identity."

Klein smiled and said, "That's enough. I will find suitable helpers myself."

"Look for Bernadette. He is currently in Backlund. He will definitely be involved in this matter."

"Ah."

After ending his dream with Will, Klein looked at the time and saw that it was already past eleven o'clock at night.

He did not fall asleep, but moved a chair to sit at the desk, spread out a blank piece of paper, and began to write on it.

He wanted to write to Mr. Azik and ask for his opinion and help.

There are many dangers in interfering with George III's becoming a god. At the critical moment, he needs Mr. Azik to help him once.

As for the people who destroyed the tomb, in addition to Bernadette, he also planned to ask the messenger lady to help, although it would cost a certain amount of gold coins.

Alas, I am going to be poor again.

……

A royal manor in the suburbs.

In the study on the second floor, the former Archduke of South Wales, Derek Augustus, had a gloomy face and a letter in his hand turned into powder.

His child, the current Archduke of Southwell, is dead!

The cause of death was that he drank too much and accidentally fell into the artificial lake at home and drowned.

This sounds like a very normal reason for death, but he can be sure that there must be the influence of extraordinary power here!

The person most likely to do this is the young Earl Campbell!

Because a few days ago, there was also a letter from South Wales, saying that the person he sent had died in the hands of Earl Campbell.

To this end, he sent another confidant to South Wales, but this death letter had already been delivered to him first.

"Haha, in order to get rid of his own suspicion, he deliberately followed the second son of Earl Hall's family back to Backlund."

Drink Augustus's eyes were full of cold murderous intent, and there was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of his mouth.

In the face of absolute strength, such a little cleverness is just asking for death!

In order to avoid any accidents, he decided to personally see off the young and promising Earl.

As for the explanation?

Who does he need to answer to?

Even the current King George III will not punish him in the slightest.

The Kingdom of Loen is the kingdom of their Augustus family!

He dug out a portrait from his desk drawer, which showed him and his children, even though it was decades ago.

At three o'clock in the night, he walked out of the study and entered the bustling Queens district in one step.

The distance between the two places is also a rule, and he has already become proficient in using the rules.

It was easy to find a direct road to Queens. He could even arrive at the door of Earl Campbell's house in one step.

But in order to give face to the Three Gods Church, he didn't do it so obviously.

So, he chose to walk there from here in Queens.

There are not many pedestrians wandering around in the streets late at night, even in the bustling Queens. Because of the chaotic situation during this period, many people are afraid to go out late at night.

Even the bars that were originally open from night to early morning along the street have closed their doors and closed early for rest.

Drink Augustus, walking, thinking about the past years.

He owed his son, but he didn't care too much. After all, he didn't care much about the bond of blood inheritance.

But when he heard the news about his child's death, he still felt heartache for the first time in a long time.

Although slight, it was enough to sentence Lord Campbell to death.

When Drink Augustus was approaching his destination walking alone, the surrounding scene suddenly changed.

Drink Augustus stopped and took some time to calmly watch the scene in front of him.

He knew that there must be a powerful Beyonder guarding Earl Campbell.

But here is Backlund, and he is a member of the Augustus family and a Sequence 2 Balancer.

But he waited for a long time, and except for the scene in front of him changing from a busy street to a dense forest, no one appeared here.

Drink Augustus narrowed his eyes and waited patiently for a while, but still no one showed up.

"Deliberately delaying time, want to escape?"

Drink Augustus is not worried about this problem. If it wasn't Backlund here, with his ability, he wouldn't need to be so cautious.

His right foot took a step forward, and a black rule stretched out from the sole of his foot, and then branched into two, four, or hundreds of them, like black pythons crisscrossing each other.

The dense forest world in front of him instantly shattered into pieces and returned to the original streets.

He was still standing in the street, but above his head, what hung in the sky was not the crimson moon in the middle of the night, but the bright sun rising in the morning.

This made him frown slightly, and he didn't notice any change in the flow of time even when he was inside.

"No, it's not that the flow of time has changed, but that someone has stolen this period of time."

Drink Augustus looked solemn, and after carefully sensing it for a while, he realized that the other party was not that capable, and that he should have achieved this effect with the help of some kind of sealed object.

In just a few hours, where can you escape to?

Drink Augustus took a closer look and discovered that Earl Campbell did not take the opportunity to leave Backlund, but was strolling happily near the Holy Wind Church, holding a little black cat!
