Mystery: The Stars Returner

South Wales, when Hastur came back again, had missed the first seven of the South Wales Archduke.

In order to express his condolences to him, he asked Caius to send someone to prepare a valuable gift and send it to the home of the Grand Duke of South Wales, and he must show his deep memory of the Grand Duke of South Wales.

After handling this matter, Hasta began to look through the financial reports of eight important ports during this period.

Xu Shinan Continent has not yet invaded the Loen Kingdom. This has caused a lot more merchant ships to come and go for business, especially some merchants from the Fusac Empire with a keen sense of smell. Although they have not moved their whole families, they have also moved most of them. Transfer of assets to other countries.

Land is not easy to travel, so sea transportation is the most suitable.

Several major ports in South Wales served as transit points, earning a huge amount of tax revenue.

Hastur was not surprised. When a country faces crisis, businessmen who are motivated by profit will naturally make choices that are in line with their own interests. As long as they have enough wealth, they can live a prosperous life wherever they are. .

As for the feelings of home and country, the inability to leave the homeland is generally reserved for those at the bottom who have nowhere to go and no choice.

Therefore, for this group of people, Hastur asked the port to increase taxes. The reason is very simple. During the war, a large amount of taxes need to be used to maintain public order.

Not even a few days after returning to Port Puning, Alfred arrived in South Wales with Prince Lennart.

The two seemed to have a good relationship, and Prince Lennart invited Alfred to help him handle some affairs.

Alfred did not refuse, and soon resigned from Hastur, moved to the Governor's Palace, and fell into the arms of Prince Lennart.

"Tsk, good birds choose trees to roost in."

After reading the latest information sent back by the yellow monks, Hastur sighed and silently gave Alfred a cross in his heart.

Although there is nothing to criticize in Alfred's choice, there is always a feeling of betrayal. Maybe he really regards Alfred as one of his own.

"My Lord Earl, do you need me to send someone to punish him?" Caius volunteered. He was already familiar with handling these matters.

"No, just let him go. After all, his father, Earl Hall, is a very good man, and Miss Audrey has a very good relationship with me."

Hastur waved his hand to stop Caius' proposal, so that Alfred would not suffer in the hands of Caius.

"When will you be promoted to Sequence 4?" Hasta changed the subject.

Caius lowered his head and said awkwardly: "It should take a few years."

Hastur leaned back slightly and stared at Caius for a while, "Sometimes you need to find your own reasons. After so many years, your strength has not improved. Have you acted seriously?"

Caius lowered his head even lower, and after a while he answered in a low voice: "What the Earl taught you is that I have been busy with other things recently, and it is true that I have not acted seriously for a long time."

"Well, let's go down."

After Caius left, Hastur read some other information before getting up and leaving the study, heading to Sharon's room.

As soon as I came in, I saw Azshara hiding aside to eat dried fish, while Sharon acted as a silent puppet.

Seeing Hastur arriving, Azshara's first reaction was to hide the dried fish behind her, raised her head, and meowed softly, showing an innocent and cute look. Hastur did not remind it. , next time remember to wipe the traces of food from your mouth first.

When leaving Backlund, Audrey specially prepared a large bag of dried fish for Azshara, which was temporarily confiscated by Hastur. Looking at it, it must have gone and dug it out again.

"After some time, if the situation is stable, I plan to go to the Republic of Intis to give myself a vacation..."

Hastur talked about his next plan. Sharon listened silently. Azshara looked at it for a while, then secretly took out the dried fish hidden behind her and hid it in a dark corner where Hastur could not see it. Have a great time.

……

Above the gray fog, Klein found the right time to hold the Tarot session, which was a week late.

When Backlund was preparing to deal with King George III, he deliberately postponed the Tarot session for a week just in case.

Now that everything has been resolved smoothly, he should educate the Tarot Club members who don't know the inside story about George III, and at the same time give Miss Magic a little blow.

This magician lady is so close to Bernadette, and Bernadette is a believer in the stars, so it is difficult not to make people doubt her true identity.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."

"Good afternoon, Miss Magician."

……

Audrey skillfully greeted all the Tarot Club members before sitting down contentedly.

After what happened with George III, she has completely digested the magic potion in her body and can move towards the Sequence 6 hypnotist.

And she already knows about the extraordinary materials needed to be promoted to a hypnotist. Now she only needs to collect all the extraordinary materials in the Tarot Club to be successfully promoted.

This time, she was completely ahead of Susie.

"Zarath came to talk to me again. Ha, this old guy always speaks half-speech. If I hadn't benefited a lot from what he mentioned, I would have kicked him out of my palace long ago."

"He predicted that my daughter would become a big figure in the mysterious world. This sentence is very useful to me, but He also said that my daughter would turn against me and hate me."

"How could my cute and caring little cotton-padded jacket leak? I asked Zaratul the reason for this, but Zaratul just showed a mysterious smile and refused to say a word. This made me want to beat him severely. A meal.”

"On October 10th, I met the Earl of Marden's wife. Hey, she looks very much like her daughter, like a pair of sisters. But in terms of pleasing people, time can still add a lot to people. Tempting style..."

Klein calmly read the three Roselle diaries in front of him. He was basically immune to Emperor Roselle's romantic history and took the initiative to skip them.

"You can talk now." Klein pressed the three Russell diaries on the table, indicating that everyone in the Tarot Club could talk.

The first person to speak was Alger, "I want to know what happened to Backlund some time ago, and how George III fell. Was he really killed in an assassination?"

Forsi originally wanted to answer this question, but after glancing at Mr. Fool, who seemed to be paying special attention to her today, she hurriedly shut up.

It just so happened that she didn't want others to know that she had secretly reported to Mr. Fool.

"Mr. Hanged Man, I think I can answer some questions for you." Audrey gathered her thoughts and said to the crowd: "That day, George III was delivering a speech to the nation at Memorial Day Square in Backlund. The speech was at the end. At that moment, his whole body suddenly exploded, and blood and pieces of flesh were scattered all over the floor. At the same time, there was a loud noise outside Backlund, which spread to the outer area of ​​Backlund and destroyed many houses."

"Afterwards, the Kingdom of Loen and the Church of the Three Gods came forward and agreed that it was an assassin sent by the Fusac Empire who assassinated George III at a critical moment."

"Then the newly appointed Govington II used this as a reason to declare full war on the Feysac Empire."

Audrey briefly explained what happened that day, and Forsi and Emlyn also listened attentively. They both chose to stay at home that day and did not go out to attend George III's lecture.

"George III definitely did not die from an assassination!" After listening to the story, Alger gave his opinion with confidence.

That was Backlund, a place watched by the gods. No matter how powerful the Fusac Empire's assassins were, they would not have been able to assassinate George III on that day and still escape successfully.

There is definitely something else going on here!

"This is not something I can know." Audrey said calmly.

I, I know!

Forsi shouted a few words in her heart, but she did not ask to exchange this matter for a certain amount of gold pounds. She was afraid that her identity would be exposed accidentally.

Klein, who had been paying attention to Miss Magician, saw that she was hesitant to speak.

This time, Klein did not leave the opportunity to Miss Magician. He controlled the world and spoke in a hoarse voice: "I know some inside information, but this information is very important, and you need to pay a certain amount of compensation."

"can."

Audrey immediately agreed to the deal, while Forsi and Alger were stunned for a while.

One is that he regrets that he should have stood up and reached a deal with the rich Miss Justice. Regarding the news that George III will become a god, selling it for 500 gold pounds should not be a problem, right?

One is the shocking level of Miss Justice's wealth. Her decisive and crisp voice can only be spoken confidently by people with a lot of wealth.

World naturally recounted the small report Forsi made to Mr. Fool last time, adding and deleting a few sentences.

After saying that, Mr. Fool, who was sitting at the top, glanced at Forsi.

The meaning of knocking is clear.

Forsi panicked and quickly lowered his head.

She knew that Mr. Fool had begun to doubt her identity after the last whistle-blowing incident, so this time she specifically used the words of the world of believers to warn her to be more careful in the future.

But soon, she thought about it again.

Since Mr. Fool has seen through his identity as a believer in the stars, and still allows himself to participate in the Tarot Club, he may also want to get in touch with the stars through himself.

Moreover, The Fool and the Stars had just completed a transaction through him, so what did he have to fear?

After all, I am the diplomatic ambassador sent by the stars to Mr. Fool.

Thinking of this, Forsi straightened her back again, raised her head slightly, and calmly faced Mr. Fool's gaze.

Hey, Miss Magician's mood changes very quickly.

What gave her this sudden confidence?

Klein found it interesting, so he withdrew his gaze.
