Mystery: The Stars Returner

Late at night, the three people sat down in the room, and only Cattleya insisted on standing behind Bernadette.

"I just happened to come here to relax, and happened to come across the Eternal Sun Church."

"It doesn't matter whether it's a coincidence or an accident. What's important is that when you come, things happen." Bernadette looked at Hastur with deep meaning, "In the mysterious world, the symbolic meaning is far greater than the actual meaning."

Hastur did not refute this sentence, but acquiesced.

Is today's Trier becoming more chaotic because of his arrival, or is the chaotic situation here attracting his arrival?

The symbolic meaning he possesses is far greater than Bernadette's guess.

If he hadn't come, Trier would still have experienced a chaos, but the scale of the chaos would have been smaller.

And his arrival will rapidly expand the scale of this chaos, turning a small turmoil into a major disaster.

"You can become a believer in the stars, you must have little-known characteristics, or secrets." Bernadette seemed to have seen through something, "I have no intention of prying into your privacy, I am just curious, what will your arrival bring to this place?" What a difference it brings.

Will you be the spark that just happens to ignite the barrel of dynamite, or will you be a ball of flame yourself? "

Hasta pretended to be mysterious and smiled: "Maybe I am a sun."

"Sun? There are many believers of the Eternal Blazing Sun in this city, and they often claim to be the incarnation of the sun."

"You misunderstood. This is how a person I met last night described me. Well, it was a joke."

Bernadette joked: "Are they from the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun? They always like to use their lips and tongues to develop believers."

"His name is Ross Hurley."

Hastur did not hide this matter. He also wanted to obtain some information about this person from Bernadette.

When she heard this name, Bernadette became serious. When she was in the Southern Continent, she met a young man from the Eternal Sun Church, who called himself Rose Hurley.

"He also said that if I join the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, I will have the opportunity to become the pope in the future. It's really exciting words."

"Maybe this isn't a joke."

The smile on Bernadette's face faded, but she didn't say much to Hastur. She was not familiar with this person, she only knew that he was not simple.

As the night progressed, after a brief chat, Bernadette followed Cattleya back to the room opposite. Before leaving, she deliberately whispered into Sharon's ear, "I didn't expect that little Sharon was abducted. "

Little Sharon?

The tip of Cattleya's ears immediately caught this key term of endearment, and her calm eyes changed. She stared at Sharon with complex eyes, filled with envy, curiosity, loss, and wariness.

The little hands that naturally dropped down unconsciously tightened the corners of his clothes, and he couldn't help but want to shout in his heart: "I also want this kind of exclusive pampering title."

Sharon was also keenly aware of Cattleya's unusual gaze, but she did not explain anything and ignored Bernadette's joke.

She was used to Bernadette's sometimes serious and sometimes joking style.

When Bernadette left the room, Cattleya, who was walking behind, looked back at Sharon, wanting to ask something, but in the end she just left with her chin slightly raised and a gleam of unwillingness to admit defeat in her eyes.

Hastur took in Cattleya's little expression and found it very interesting.

As the saying goes, three women perform one drama.

Sharon, Bernadette, and Cattleya could barely put together a script that said "I was the one who came first."

Cattleya is the sufferer who cannot love.

"What are you thinking?"

"Just make up a play in your head."

"The Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun?"

"No, about you."

Sharon didn't ask any further. Her instinct told her that what Hastur was thinking was unhealthy.

……

The next day, Hasta was going to lie in bed and rest for a while to make up for the sleepiness of not sleeping well the night before.

But Cattleya, who lived in the room opposite, knocked on the door early in the morning.

Sharon hid in the mirror and had no idea of ​​opening the door.

Hastur could only stand up, straighten his appearance a little, and then open the door.

Cattleya, who originally looked a little aggrieved, changed her expression instantly after Hastur opened the door, and said with an indifferent expression: "The Queen asked me to follow you in the next few days."

"Action?" Hasta was surprised, then smiled and said: "I'm here for vacation, and I don't have any other arrangements for the time being."

"I only follow the Queen's orders."

Cattleya walked into the room and naturally sat on the stool in the center of the room. Her eyes glanced around and then landed on the mirror on the table.

"Is something wrong?"

Sharon's figure gradually emerged from the mirror.

"Resentful soul?"

"Astrologer."

The two told each other about the extraordinary sequence the other was in. One was not very sure, but the other was very confident.

Cattleya's eyes changed slightly, and her eyes became more wary.

"People from the Rose School?"

"Is something wrong?" Sharon asked again.

Cattleya was silent for a while, then shook her head and looked away, turning to Hastur who was waiting to watch the show.

"You go on, I'll go out and order breakfast for you."

Hastur consciously left the room, leaving Cattleya and Sharon alone.

Silence, soundlessness.

After a while, Cattleya took the initiative and asked, "What is your relationship with the Queen?"

"Partner."

"That's it?" Cattleya's tone became more relaxed and happy.

In the mirror, Sharon spoke calmly: "She answers everything I ask for."

"..."

Cattleya's bright eyes dimmed instantly.

"I just have a normal relationship with her."

"Really?"

Cattleya's darkened eyes brightened again, making Sharon dazzled.

When Hasta came back with two breakfasts, Cattleya's head was lying on the table and she was whispering to Sharon in the mirror.

Upon noticing Hastur's arrival, Cattleya immediately sat upright and returned to her calm and indifferent appearance.

Tsk, your face changes so quickly.

Hasta put breakfast on the table, looked at Sharon in the mirror, and found that she was in a good mood, with a faint smile in her eyes.

……

Run, keep running, don't get caught, or you'll be burned on the stake!

Deep in the intricate alley, Ulrich, wrapped in a black robe, was running hastily.

When he caught a glimpse of a patrol passing by, he glanced around and hurriedly hid his body in an empty trash can.

The stench made even rats reluctant to stay for a long time. When the patrolling soldiers passed by, they also quickened their pace and spit in the direction of the trash can.

After the footsteps completely left, Ulrich came out of the trash can with his hand on his nose. He carefully observed his surroundings, ran a long distance, and then took a big breath of fresh air.

He ran to a location along the river, plunged in, and then dived down, drifting down the river in the city. In a place where it was difficult to be found, an air tube allowed him to breathe air in the water.

After floating to a gentle area downstream, he slowly raised his head from the water and made sure there were no suspicious people around. Then he climbed out of the water and hid in a small forest along the river, leaning against a tree trunk and breathing heavily to regain his strength.

He was very glad that he did not choose the path of the sun, but the path of the diviner. He was also lucky enough to be promoted to a Sequence 7 magician.

Otherwise, he would never be able to leave the Eternal Sun Church alive.

There were so many people in the church, including the bishop, who was sent to the stake. Fortunately, he divined in advance that his life would be in danger, so he made some preparations and was more careful, so that he had a chance to escape here.

"My Lord Bishop, you will die if you die, why are you dragging me into this?"

As he spoke, Ulrich reached out and felt around on his body until he felt a hard, round object in his coat pocket, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this thing was not lost, otherwise his defection to the Eternal Sun Church would have been in vain.

After resting for twenty minutes, Ulrich stood up with one hand on the tree trunk and took out a miniature astrolabe from his arms with the other hand to guide himself on the right path forward through divination.

He gradually walked through the woods, and through the gaps between the trees, he could already see the buildings outside.

He was still in the city of Trier, just escaping from a dangerous area to a relatively safe place.

After observing for a while, he retreated back into the woods and hid, hoping to find a suitable way out for himself through divination after he fully recovered.

In the dead of night, Ulrich emerged from the grove, nimbly avoiding inhabited areas and heading in the safe direction predicted by divination.

When he encountered patrolling soldiers, he hid in the dark shadows, spread out his black robe, and raised his hands horizontally in front of him. He successfully blended into the darkness and deceived the patrolling soldiers' search.

This kind of magic can only be effective at night. During the day, it can be easily seen through and cannot be hidden smoothly.

Hiding in XZ, and following the guidance of divination, he successfully avoided the patrolling soldiers and the people from the Eternal Sun Church.

"Hey, why didn't it work suddenly?"

Ulrich, who originally wanted to leave Trier under the cover of night, looked at his divination this time with a look of horror.

The pointer on the divination astrolabe suddenly stopped, as if disturbed by various forces.
