Mystery: The Stars Returner

Backlund.

News of the death of Lennart Augustus reached the desk of the new king, Govington II, from South Wales as soon as possible.

King Govington II was furious and vowed to make his brother's murderer pay the price, and entrusted the three major churches to jointly handle the matter.

Soon, this matter spread throughout the upper class of the Loen Kingdom.

Even Audrey, who has been living in seclusion recently, heard various comments coming from outside.

The most widely circulated version at present is related to Hastur, saying that in order to control all the power in South Wales, he secretly killed two South Wales Grand Dukes!

This version seemed to appear out of nowhere, and quickly caught fire, spreading among Loen's powerful people.

"Susie, there is something you need to do."

In the room, after some thought, Audrey decided to send her most effective assistant, Susie, to help her find out the truth of the matter.

"Woof!" Susie shook herself up and stood up, as if the whole thing was all about me.

"There have been a lot of unfavorable rumors circulating in Backlund lately that are not good for Mr. Hastur. I want you to ask Fors and Xio to help investigate who is secretly spreading these messages."

"At the same time, from now on, you should try to follow Count Hall every day to listen to things about Mr. Hastur, and then come back and report to me."

Audrey paused for a moment to give Susie some time to receive the information, and then continued to add some small details that needed attention.

After arranging Susie's work, Audrey was also thinking about what she could do to help Mr. Hastur who was far away in South Wales.

Regarding the death of the two Archduke Southwell, she didn't know if it had something to do with Mr. Hastur, but in the current situation like Backlund, someone must be secretly fueling the situation.

She wants to help Mr. Hastur find these people.

"I must write a letter to remind Mr. Hastur and let him know that someone in Backlandry is secretly targeting him."

Audrey quickly wrote a letter and sent it to South Wales.

Earl Hall saw this little move, but did not stop him. Instead, he asked Audrey to go to his study and told her some deeper news.

The new king, Govington II, has gradually accumulated reputation due to the victory on the Feysac Empire's battlefield, and even has a vague tendency to surpass George III.

After the victory in the foreign war, it is natural to want to eliminate some disobedient nobles in the country. Hastur, who was sent to garrison in South Wales, is one of them. Even the Hall family and the Negan family are also within the scope of suppression, but not yet. So obvious.

Emperor Roselle once said: "One king and one noble."

The new king will naturally support some emerging nobles and sweep some disobedient and stubborn old nobles into the trash.

Audrey listened quietly, then extracted the key information and summarized it, and then wrote another letter to Mr. Hastur.

I believe this is what Earl Hall wants.

During the internal meeting of the royal family, Govington II sat on the throne and glanced at these important royal members with cold eyes. The atmosphere was a bit depressing.

"Leave the affairs of South Wales to the three major churches. A prince, my brother, died in South Wales inexplicably. Someone needs to be responsible for this matter."

"Some of the old guys in Backlandry should also move down. There is always a need to replace the old with the new."

"The Negan family, the Hall family, the Abe family, Frank, Deaton..."

Govington II spoke out the names of each family in a gentle tone.

News of the victory over the Fossac Empire came back from the frontal battlefield, which just boosted his prestige. This was the best opportunity to take action against the old nobles.

"Would this be too big of a step all of a sudden?" Some members of the royal family were worried that it would cause civil strife.

"Why do they cause turmoil? Noble titles are just shards of glass that break under the barrel of a musket."

"What I'm worried about is the economic aspect. Both the Hall family and the Negan family are deeply involved in business. If they are pushed too hard, it will easily cause them to resist."

After a long discussion, Govington II dismissed everyone and sat on the throne alone.

Before sitting on this throne, the throne was scorching hot, but after sitting on it, it was cold, bitingly cold.

"Is it worth sacrificing your own brother just to deal with a young earl?"

"It's worth it." Govington II's expression suddenly turned cold. "Anyone who may subvert our Augustus family should be strangled to death in time!"

The mysterious Zaratul had predicted the future of three people to him.

First it was Gretel Negan, then Audrey Hall, and finally Hastur Campbell. The person predicted to overthrow Augustus' rule in Loen was Hastur Campbell.

He asked Zaratul many times how the young earl would subvert their Augustus family, but received no reply.

Zaratul has never appeared again. According to people from the Secret Order, he has gone crazy again, and the situation is more serious than ever before.

He had no way of knowing the specific situation, but he vaguely felt that Zaratul's changes were related to the three prophecies he had predicted.

This also made him more convinced that he must get rid of that Earl Hastur Campbell!

At St. Samuel's Church, Leonard was once again asked to investigate in South Wales, but he refused.

This time, the church did not force him, but respected his wishes and sent others to South Wales to investigate.

Returning to his room, Leonard began to ask the old man his opinion on this matter.

"very good."

That was all the old man said to him.

No matter how he asked, he got no other response.

Leonard finally sighed: "Hasta, how can you be so capable of causing trouble?"

Although there is no evidence, he is convinced that Hastur is definitely related to the death of the two Archduke of South Wales.

When a person is constantly involved in trouble, it means that he himself is a big trouble.

……

Hastur, who is missed by many people, has found his spiritual destination, and the Hall of Stars is his spiritual destination now.

Ever since he was born into this world and entered the Hall of Stars, he has always placed high hopes on the Hall of Stars. When something happens, he first thinks of the Hall of Stars, and it is the Hall of Stars that has the closest connection with him.

This is where he places his soul, and it is the only pure land of his soul.

It's just that he has never truly entered the Hall of Stars. He has only entered it through dreams and spiritual bodies.

His body has always stayed outside the Palace of Stars. In other words, his body and mind have not completely integrated with the Palace of Stars.

He needs to truly enter the Hall of Stars and then take the Homeless Potion, so that he can truly be promoted.

Once the puzzle is solved, things will become much easier.

It is not difficult to enter the Palace of Stars, but you have to pay attention to all aspects of security measures to avoid being noticed that he is the true body of the stars.

There are many believers in Qunxing, but only a few can truly trust him.

For example, although Gray Carrie performed very well, she has never been able to fully trust him.

The same goes for the yellow-robed monk organization. Maybe one day they will suddenly turn their backs on themselves because of the appearance of the yellow-robed king.

Although the Star Container is good, when it comes to breaking through, I don't have the ability to distract it and manipulate it. Moreover, its existence may attract the attention of the true Creator at a certain period of time.

It seems that Sharon will have to be troubled in the end.

Before that, Hastur used the method instructed by Will to make the time worms on Amon into time charms. He made ten of them in total, which took a lot of energy and time on his part.

The time talisman he refined in the end was a little different from the yesterday reappearance talisman refined by Klein.

Yesterday's reappearance talisman was mainly useful for Will, Miss Messenger, and the old man in Leonard's body. These beings who had been severely injured could restore them to their previous peak strength in a short period of time.

The time talisman he refined in combination with the Hall of Stars is also known as the time reset talisman and the time zeroing talisman.

When used on an enemy, you can reset the status of time-related concepts on him to zero. For example, you can reset the strengthening effect he exerts on yourself for a certain period of time. You can also reset the existence time of various organs on his body, and even his lifespan. Time has all returned to zero.

Of course, the actual effect is definitely not that abnormal, but it does have the ability to shorten people's lifespan.

When used against oneself, the time state can be reset, and the range of applications is very wide.

For example, when using a sealed object with serious negative effects, you can directly reset the negative effects, or you can reset an ability that is used once every few days to increase the chance of using it.

To put it simply, it is a zero CD cooling rune.

Hastur estimated that even if Amon personally refined the Time Insect in his body into a spell, it would not be able to have such a perverted effect.

Returning to zero is the sequence 0 of the star path. This authority only belongs to those who return to the star path.

There may also be some other effects, but Hastur hasn't fully discovered them yet.

After the refining was completed, Hastur began to think about the distribution plan of these ten time charms.

In the end, it was decided to give two to Sharon and one to Azshara.

Originally, he was going to give two time charms to Audrey and Susie, but using these things might attract Amon's attention, so it was better not to let Audrey get involved in these things for the time being.

Moreover, it is not safe to transport things from South Wales to Backlund.

As for Will, Hastur planned to give him two Worms of Time directly. Maybe he had his own other uses for these things.

After making various preparations, Hastur began to choose a suitable time and place. In order to ensure that no accidents would occur, he specially gave the messenger two time charms and asked her to help take care of them.

As for Mrs. Lisa and the members of the yellow monks, they were placed at the outermost edge.

The ones closest to me are Sharon and Azshara.

Of course, everything was normal on the surface, and only Sharon vaguely knew that he was preparing for promotion.
