Mystery: The Stars Returner

This question is a bit difficult to answer.

Hastur carefully recalled the scenery he saw in Intis, but there was no particularly interesting scenery. In the end, he did not go to the White Maple Palace where Russell fell.

"The cathedral of the Eternal Burning Sun Church is not bad."

The one that impressed me the most was the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun.

Hearing Hastur's answer, Audrey still looked at him with a smile on her face, "Don't you and Miss Sharon have any other interesting experiences?"

At this time, Sharon also looked over, as if she wanted to see how Hastur would answer this question. Even Azshara in her arms looked up, with a gleam of schadenfreude in her eyes.

"That time I just passed by in a hurry and didn't have much time to stop and play."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Audrey didn't ask any more questions and seemed to be in a pretty good mood.

In order to prevent Audrey from asking such questions again, Hastur sent people down to prepare the dinner, which could be regarded as a welcome and cleansing for Hugh, who came to South Wales for the first time.

Everyone else was fine, except that Sharon might not be used to such a scene, and Hasta had even thought of a reason for her to refuse tonight's dinner.

But today Sharon had no idea of ​​getting up, leaving, and entering the mirror. She looked past Audrey, then at Forsi and Xio respectively, and then landed on Hastur.

This sent shivers down Hastur's spine, as he was chatting with Audrey, as if a cold wind was blowing by.

When Hastur looked back, Sharon was lowering her head slightly, concentrating on combing Azshara's black hair, and occasionally scratching her little head and chin to make Azshara make a comfortable sound.

The dinner was not too extravagant, it was just a few of them, because Sharon didn't like too many outsiders being present, and Hasta didn't even invite Alfred, who also lived in Puning Port, there were only the five of them.

Hastur sat on the main seat in the middle of the dining table, Audrey and Sharon sat on either side of him, Forsi and Xio sat on Audrey's side, and Azshara asked for a seat by herself. Next to Sharon, from time to time she glanced condescendingly at Susie, who couldn't serve at the table.

Provoking a few dissatisfied complaints from Susie, Hastur set up a special place for Susie next to Azshara.

Although they look a bit different, they are all familiar and quite natural.

It's just that Hastur, who was sitting in the middle seat, was very unnatural. He was sitting upright, looking unbiased at the food in front of him.

Audrey and Sharon did not speak, and he also chose to remain silent. Forsi and Xio looked at each other and also chose to enjoy the food in silence.

After the dinner, Hastur took them to visit the garden, and then asked Caius to use cards to fight evil, as well as some board games, such as Monopoly, Winner of Life, etc., as well as games involving occultism. Extraordinary little game of knowledge.

This is a casual game specially designed for them to kill time.

In the end, they unanimously chose to play the game called Winner of Life.

This game also determines the moving grid by rolling dice. Each grid represents an event that happened on the road of life. On the journey from the starting point of birth to the end of life, as long as the corresponding conditions are met, it can be counted. Zuo is the winner.

Because the name is called Winner in Life, the way to win is in accordance with the standards that people in the world define as a winner in life.

There are three ways to win. The first way is to be extremely rich in money: when you reach the end of your life, a settlement will be made. As long as the money earned in this life exceeds 1000 million gold pounds, it is considered a victory.

If there are multiple people who meet the victory conditions at the same time, it depends on who reaches the end of life first. The first to reach the end of life and earn 1000 million pounds is considered a victory.

The second path is a harmonious and happy family: this includes everything from falling in love, getting married, having children, emotional entanglements, and whether children and grandchildren will be filial when they grow old. As long as there is any discrepancy among them, you cannot win through this path.

The third way is the blessing of the gods: a life loved by the gods is undoubtedly a happy winner. It is required that within a game, the blessings of the gods should be obtained no less than ten times. In the winner grid of the entire life, the blessings of the gods There are only twelve blessing grids.

In terms of starting gameplay, it is also different from ordinary Monopoly games.

Players participating in the game need to randomly select their birth identity in life, and then start from different starting points to the end of life according to their different initial identities.

In order to enrich the game experience, the initial identities of this game have been increased to more than 20, which means that there are more than 20 tracks leading to the big stage of life.

After the player draws the initial identity, he starts on his own life track. After completing fifty grids and reaching adulthood at the age of sixteen, he will enter the big stage of life in the middle of the big map for the final competition in life.

Because the map of this game is very large, Hastur and others went to a clean empty room on the second floor and laid the map on the floor.

It is worth mentioning that this life-winner game was adapted from some board games left by Emperor Russell when the yellow monks and the group of life-winners had nothing to do.

It is a special edition only for members of the Yellow Monks organization and cannot be purchased on the market outside.

Sometimes, members of the Yellow Friars will also play this game to test who is the lucky one favored by fate the most.

Therefore, they designed the dice to have 21 sides, which further improved the randomness of the game. The luckier the person, the easier it is to win the game.

After Hastur introduced the rules of the game in detail, Xio, who felt that his brain was running out of energy, hurriedly gathered next to Forsi and carefully read the introductory book with the rules of the game.

Audrey and Sharon knew it after listening to it once. Both of them had already looked at the events recorded on each life grid, and the more they looked at it, the more interested they became.

After introducing the rules, Hastur looked at this scene and felt much better. If he played the game, there should be no more embarrassing atmosphere.

It's just that this picture has a strong flavor of a Japanese comic scene.

After Xio and Forsi understood the rules of the game, Hastur specifically taught them to try out the game process before starting the real game.

The initial identity extraction process: Hastur is the son of a priest, Audrey is the daughter of a great nobleman, Sharon is the princess of a subjugated country, Forsi belongs to an ordinary worker's family, and Xiu is the daughter of a down-and-out nobleman.

Then roll the dice according to the level of the initial identity.

In this life winner game, the initial status is divided into three levels. The highest status is related to the gods. There are three in total: the son of the priest, the baby gifted by the gods, and the illegitimate son of the pope (purely the bad taste of the monks in yellow) .

The second-class status is the powerful and wealthy business class, and Audrey and Sharon both belong to this category.

The lowest status is ordinary people, outcasts, and down-and-out people. Forsi and Xiu's status fall into this category.

According to the rules, as soon as the highest status is born, you can throw three times, the second status can throw twice, and the lowest status can only throw once.

Although the journey of life does not go as fast as possible, starting with a high status and heading to the stage of life at the age of sixteen, as long as your luck is not too bad, you can accumulate a considerable amount of money, which is very suitable for winning with money. The way to win the game.

This is called winning at the starting line, a very real game.

"Then I'll start first."

Hastur began to throw the 21-sided red and black patterned dice, which were 12, 20, and 17.

Before entering the big stage of life at the age of sixteen, there is only the last square left.

In these three events, he received a blessing from the gods, a theological foundation, and an increase in charm.

Theological basis: If there are squares blessed by the gods in the 21 squares in front, you can throw it again.

Increased charm: Increases attraction to the opposite sex, making it easier to fall in love and get married.

Although I didn't get a single gold pound reward, this kind of growth life is very suitable for using the path of blessing from the gods to win.

Then it was Audrey's turn to throw the dice twice, at 16 and 18, and the two things she encountered were: 10000 pounds of lucky money and money favors.

The effect of money favor is: the money earned in the future will be multiplied by 1.5 times.

Seeing this, Forsi and Xio opened their eyes wide and felt incredible. Such a life event was simply a true portrayal of Miss Audrey's life!

The New Year's money of 10000 gold pounds, but they didn't even dare to dream of such a large amount. When they were young, they felt very happy to have the New Year's money of 1 gold pound.

When it was Sharon's turn, she rolled 14 and 18 points, and the life events she encountered were: she was chased, she had rich life experience, and she received a house worth 2000 gold pounds.

"Finally it's my turn."

Xio was a little excited. Her start in life was slightly better than Forsi's.

At 8 o'clock, he was robbed and lost 100 gold pounds.

"Haha, Xio, you are so unlucky. You are not an adult yet, so you should lose 100 gold pounds first." Forsi laughed at the side.

"Hmph, damn guy, if he dared to steal my money in the real world, I would have beaten him until his face was red!" Xio glared angrily at Forsi, who was still laughing, "Don't be too happy too soon. Maybe your luck is worse than mine."

"I'm not as unlucky as you..."

While Forsi was talking, he rolled a 13 point. When his parents divorced, he received a compensation of 100 gold pounds.

"Oh, this 100 gold pounds is really hot to hold." Forsi's face was slightly complicated.

Xio just glanced at it and didn't use it to tease Forsi.

After the initial action is over, everyone can only roll the dice once. Unless they encounter a special life grid, they can roll one or two more times.

In the second round, Hastur successfully crossed the fifty grid of life and entered the big stage of adulthood at the age of sixteen.

Everything you encounter in life becomes your life partner: Only by opening this grid can you fall in love, get married and have children, and take the path of family success.

Audrey and Sharon both glanced at Hastur in unison, then quickly looked away, then silently rolled their dice.
