Mystery: The Stars Returner

"what happened?"

Seeing Forsi's sudden shocked face, Xio came over and asked curiously.

"It's okay, I just suddenly thought of something important."

"whats the matter?"

"Why did Miss Audrey and Mr. Hastur suddenly progress so quickly?"

"I am also very curious."

"Wang!"

Susie came over and naturally joined in the topic they were discussing.

"Susie, do you think this matter has anything to do with you?"

"Wang."

"Wow, Susie, you are so awesome." After praising Susie, Fors said in a wicked way: "Susie, can you help Xio find a suitable partner?"

"Forsi! You guy!" Xio quickly stood up on tiptoes, covered Forsi's mouth with his hand, and muttered: "Don't instill bad thoughts into Susie!"

Susie just looked Xio up and down, then shook her head silently, and returned to lie down at the entrance of the cabin.

"..."

Xio was speechless by Susie's reaction. What did this mean?

Forsi covered her mouth and snickered, and even gave Susie a thumbs up secretly.

"Forsi! It must have been you who taught Susie a bad lesson!"

Xio could only vent her depression and anger on Forsi.

Looking at Forsi and Xio who were already having fun, Susie glanced secretly, then shook her head silently and sighed.

……

After a few days of getting along, Klein has successfully integrated into the life of the Hope. When he has nothing to do every day, he comes to the stern of the ship and observes nearby creatures through the telescope. Sometimes he even takes notes with a pen and paper.

If he hadn't known Klein's true identity, Hastur might have thought that he was really a natural biologist.

This time, the reason why he was able to easily see through Klein's faceless disguise was entirely because of Arosd.

When it mentioned the Hope, it took a peek and was noticed by him. Then it followed the clues and quickly locked onto Klein.

"When can we see mermaids?"

"Through this sea area, you can reach the outer area of ​​the Sea of ​​Ruins. Mermaids usually live further inside."

Hastur introduced some relevant situations to Klein. While the two were chatting, two fast-moving ships appeared on the sea in the distance.

The ships were not coming towards the Hope, they were avoiding pursuit from behind.

The pirate group of the Immortal King Agaritu.

After seeing the flag flying on the ship clearly, Klein frowned subconsciously, but soon relaxed it.

Mr. Hastur had received a reward of 1000 gold pounds from him, so he did not need to worry about this issue.

"Don't worry about them."

Hastur's nonchalant tone made Klein curious: "That's the Immortal King's pirate group. Don't we need to make some preparations in advance?"

"Mr. Wilson, it's them who should prepare in advance."

Soon, Klein understood the meaning of Hastur’s words.

The Sui Si, which had just appeared in the distant sea, quickly turned its bow and left the sea as if it sensed some danger.

Extraordinaries of the devil's path are extremely sensitive in sensing danger.

Agaritu, who was on the Death Ship, just glanced at the approaching Hope from a distance, and felt great panic in his heart.

And he still has an impression of this Hope ship to this day.

It was this ship that attracted the attention of those huge black tentacles during the full-moon bloody night near Roselle Island. In the chaotic battle, they finally left safely.

The aura exuded by the mysterious strong man standing on the bow of the ship is enough to easily crush a small character like him to death.

The reason why he can be called the Immortal King is because he will not do anything that will lead to death.

Following the inner voice is the secret to his longevity.

Two days later, the Hope arrived at the outskirts of the Sea of ​​Ruins.

The ocean with golden ripples and the surrounding azure deep sea form two distinct and different worlds.

The place seemed to be full of divinity and light, and a vast epic feeling came from the black ruins rising from the sea there.

But before reaching that golden world, there is still one last hurdle that needs to be overcome.

In the sea ahead, the blue sea is cut off by a gap. The endless sea water is like a waterfall, running vertically down into the bottomless dark world.

"Everyone, please be careful and hold on to something strong around you to avoid being accidentally knocked over later."

Hastur, who was standing at the bow of the ship, reminded Audrey and others to enter the cabin and wait until they crossed the sea before coming out.

Wow!

Affected by the extremely fast surge of water ahead, the Hope became several times faster than before.

The entire Hope shook slightly, and Audrey looked at Hastur who was still outside. She only had time to say, "Mr. Hastur, be careful!"

When the Hope reached the crack in the sea, the hull fell straight down due to the influence of gravity.

When the things in the cabin were about to start to overturn, a gentle force lifted up the Hope, causing the vertically downward hull to return to a stable posture of moving forward.

Under the surprised gaze of Audrey and others, the entire Hope was like an airship, flying over cracks and faults, across the bottomless abyss, and arriving at the golden sea ahead.

The hull landed steadily, and except for the liquid in the cups and dishes splashing out, everything else stayed quietly in their original places.

After feeling that the Hope was running normally, Audrey and a group of people came out of the cabin and came to the bow of the ship to embrace the world of the golden ocean.

There are no clouds here, and there is no sun in the sky, but there is sunlight spilling out everywhere, dyeing the entire world in front of you golden.

"It's so beautiful, like a golden sun that has been crushed and mixed in."

Audrey, who stood next to Hastur and admired the scenery in front of her, let out a heartfelt sigh.

"Miss Audrey's adjectives are so apt. Why can't I think of such good words of praise? I can only say, beautiful, so beautiful..." Xio spoke silently at the side.

"I told you to read more books, but you just didn't listen." Forsi said habitually.

"Huh, you've read so many books, but I haven't seen you write such gorgeous articles."

"..." Forsi immediately fell silent.

After admiring it for a while, Klein said with a worried look on his face: "The more beautiful the scenery on the sea, the easier it is to hide unknown dangers."

"Mr. Wilson, do you know anything about this sea of ​​ruins?" Xio asked.

"I've only heard other people talk about terrible legends about this place."

Klein naturally shared the news he heard. At the same time, he was reminding Hastur that this place is dangerous and requires extra caution.

Then he pointed to the ruins ahead.

Most of the main body of the ruins was submerged by the sea. Beyond the sea level were gray stones and stone pillars stacked into peaks. There was a round dome-like thing on the top, which held up a large space.

As for the lower part of the ruins, it extends into the depths of the sea, with no end visible at a glance.

"Be careful of the chatter here, don't get too absorbed in it." Hasta simply reminded him.

The Sea of ​​Ruins is indeed very dangerous, but they have been there once before. Apart from the murmurs, the rest of the place is just a novel experience for everyone on the Hope.

The Hope sailed steadily past the ruins in front of it. Even though it was very close, no one suggested going to the ruins to hunt for treasure.

When they were preparing to have lunch, the originally golden sky suddenly dimmed, and the surrounding area fell into darkness, and the night fell quietly.

This is because the two greatest influences here come from the ancient Sun God and the Night Goddess.

The majority of the day is golden, but dark nights also fall from time to time.

The sudden reversal of day and night caused Forsi and others to exclaim in surprise.

But soon, a layer of hazy starlight shrouded the Hope, illuminating the entire Hope.

Power from the stars?

Seeing this scene, Klein's heart moved, and he pretended to glance at Hastur casually.

Now he finally understood the details of Mr. Hastur, and it turned out that he was actually a believer in the stars.

"It's late at night, it's time to go back to the room to sleep, and then wait to wake up naturally tomorrow."

Hastur's voice reaches everyone's ears accurately.

Xio asked curiously: "What will happen if you don't sleep?"

"When we wake up, we will find that you have disappeared and will never be found again."

Xio was so frightened that she quickly pulled Forsi back to the room to rest. In such a mysterious night, she had to have someone by her side to fall asleep.

Klein also followed the arrangement and returned to his room to rest.

"Mr. Hastur, have you been here before?"

When the two of them were alone, Audrey's questions became much more direct.

"Been here once."

Seeing that Audrey seemed hesitant to speak, Hasta thought about it for a moment, then whispered in Audrey's ear.

"I-I didn't expect that."

Audrey stuttered a bit and after saying this, she led Susie back to her room.

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, an uninvited guest walked through the world of night and came to the deck of the bow of the Hope.

The stupid snake in Will's mouth, the angel of fate, Ouroleus.

Back then, he was deceived by the Star Container into returning to the Land Abandoned by the Gods from Backlund, and now he sensed the familiar aura of the Star Container.
