Mystery: The Stars Returner

While Klein was slowly enjoying the delicious food brought by 15 gold pounds, a young man and woman came to the door of the restaurant.

The lady held the man's arm with both hands, with an elegant and generous smile on her face, and whispered a few words to the man next to her from time to time.

The man was wearing a white shirt, a black vest, and a formal suit. On his left wrist was a precious watch inlaid with emerald agate.

The hair of both of them is dazzling golden yellow, just like their faces, so dazzling that people can't help but focus on them.

Klein's arm holding the knife and fork stiffened, his pupils shrank, and then he regained his composure and continued to taste the food in front of him.

But the taste is not as delicious as it was at first.

He never expected that Hastur and Audrey would come here to enjoy lunch.

With their identities, shouldn't they be hanging out in Queens?

What made Klein even more speechless was that the position where Hastur and Audrey were sitting were directly in front of him.

Fortunately, Hastur's back was turned to him.

Otherwise, he always feels like his new identity will be exposed again.

"Look, those are Earl Hastur Campbell and Miss Audrey. They are a perfect match."

"Who says it's not the case? Judging from their loving looks, they will probably get engaged in a while."

"I didn't expect that Miss Audrey, Backlund's most dazzling gem, did not choose to marry into the royal family, but instead fell in love freely on her own."

There were people around who recognized the identities of Hastur and Audrey, and they made low-pitched comments and exclamations.

Audrey and Hasta also heard these sounds, but they didn't have much expression on their faces. They just ordered all the signature dishes on the menu and ordered a bottle of Olmir's produced in 1330. Red wine, its value is 126 gold pounds...

While calmly tasting the 15 gold pounds of food, Klein silently calculated the total price of the food ordered by Hastur and Audrey.

Including the ridiculously expensive bottle of red wine, the two of them spent about 200 gold pounds on this lunch.

The life of a noble is so luxurious!

After finishing the food in silence, Klein drank the free glass of white wine provided by the restaurant, enjoyed another ice cream, and then stood up to pay and leave the restaurant.

While walking on the street, Klein did not look back at the restaurant to avoid being noticed by Mr. Hastur.

After checking the time, he chose to walk to St. Samuel's Church just in time to eat.

While admiring the surrounding street scenery, he slowly came to the front door of St. Samuel's Church. Within two steps of entering the door, a luxury carriage pulled by four horses stopped steadily in front of the church door.

Then an amazing young man and woman stepped out of the carriage.

Hastur and Audrey.

When he heard the familiar voices talking behind him, the corners of Klein's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

What day is today!

Why did I meet Mr. Hastur and Miss Audrey one after another?

Could it be that his luck was cursed by Will?

Isn't it just disturbing his sleep once? As for being so stingy?

Klein did not look back. He just held the gold-encrusted cane and walked into the church. He walked through the quiet corridor and arrived at the large prayer hall under the sunlight piercing the stained glass.

It is very dark here, as if it is deliberately imitating the atmosphere of sleeping in the dark, which can make people feel peaceful and calm.

Klein originally wanted to sit in the right corner where there were more empty seats, but with Hastur and Audrey behind him, he thought for a moment and chose to sit in the center of the crowd.

He leaned on his cane, took off his hat, concentrated on praying with his eyes closed.

When he closed his eyes, Hasta and Audrey, who entered the prayer hall one step later than him, chose the right corner.

This made Klein secretly relieved. Fortunately, he changed his mind in time. Otherwise, if he sat next to Hastur and Audrey and said hello, his secret might be revealed.

Time passed by. After listening to the sermon, Klein slowly stood up and walked towards the altar. After saluting the bishop with short black hair, he came to the offering box next to him.

With a silent breath, he took out two 2-pound notes and six 10-pound notes from his jacket pocket and put them in one by one.

The bishop caught sight of this scene with his peripheral vision, and his eyes couldn't help but soften.

When Klein walked back and left the prayer hall, he inevitably passed by Hastur and Audrey.

He relaxed and didn't get too nervous, lest he expose any flaws.

When he saw Hastur putting 10 ten-pound notes into the offering box from the corner of his eye, he really wanted to transform into that offering box.

At the end of the day, the donations from believers alone might amount to 1000 gold pounds, without having to pay taxes.

No wonder those incense temples in the previous life were always extremely rich, with hundreds of millions or billions of huge funds quietly lying around in their bank accounts.

Klein left St. Samuel's Church with a lot of emotions. Fortunately, Hastur and Audrey were no longer on the same road with him this time, which made his steps much easier.

In St. Samuel's Church, Hastur was walking around the cathedral with Audrey.

"Mr. Hastur, you just returned to Backlund today, do you need to take a rest first?"

"When I came back to Backlund and saw you for the first time, all the fatigue disappeared." Hastur replied naturally.

Audrey blushed slightly. In a sacred place like St. Samuel's Church, listening to Mr. Hastur's undisguised words always made her feel flustered.

It was as if his conversation with Mr. Hastur was being overheard.

The gods watch over everything.

Audrey couldn't help but think of this sentence, and her mood became even weirder.

"I didn't expect Mr. Hastur to be willing to come and visit the Goddess Church." Audrey smiled and changed the subject.

"I just don't want to be separated from you."

"Mr. Hastur." Audrey's cheeks turned red and she emphasized her tone slightly, "Let's not say these words in church."

"The goddess should also be happy to see her followers pursue happiness freely."

"Mr. Hastur, you, you obviously did it on purpose."

Audrey finally understood what Hasta was thinking. He clearly said these blushing words to himself in St. Samuel's Church under the gaze of the goddess.

"Shouldn't we be more sincere in front of the gods? Lying in front of the gods is the greatest disrespect to the gods."

Audrey knew that she couldn't explain these fallacies, so she pretended not to hear anything, but the corners of her mouth slightly raised unconsciously.

She quickly suppressed the feeling of rapid heartbeat and prayed to the goddess for forgiveness in her heart.

……

Ten o'clock in the evening, Brave Bar.

"What the hell!"

Leonard, standing at the door, cursed with a look of disgust on his face, remained silent for a while, and then chose to walk into the bar.

Because of what happened late last night, he had been listless all day.

I rarely feel energetic at night, so I go out for a walk, but I end up here unknowingly.

The starting point of all bad luck.

After drinking a few glasses of Southwell beer, Leonard felt energetic again.

When he was about to ask for a few more glasses of wine to try, someone tapped him on the shoulder, then naturally sat next to him and pushed an expensive cocktail on the table in front of him.

Leonard glanced sideways, then blinked, and said with a look of disbelief: "Hasta, damn it, when did you return to Backlund?"

"Today." Hastur poured himself a glass of wine with a smile in his eyes.

"You just came back and ran here to be cool. It seems that you were suffocated in South Wales, right?"

"My gut tells me you might be here tonight."

"Here, I'll toast you with this glass." Leonard picked up the wine glass, took a big sip, burped, and laughed, "It's good to come back. I'll have someone to drink with from now on."

"You look very worried. What have you been worried about recently?"

Leonard was silent for a while and sighed: "It's better not to say anything anymore. Drink, drink."

Hasta didn't force it, he just drank with Leonard for almost two hours before letting someone from the Brave Bar drive a car to take him back.

After seeing Leonard off, Hastur did not leave with him, but continued to stay in the Brave Bar.

Now, Maric is no longer specifically guarding here, and this time Sharon followed him back to Backlund, so Maric did not appear here tonight.

Hasta didn't come to see Maric tonight, he wanted to see how lively the streets of Backlund were late at night.

Late at night, the crimson moon in the sky quietly revealed half of its body from behind the clouds. The stars around it were brilliant, and wisps of starlight fell down to the earth.

In the deserted streets, the street lights flickered dimly.

The beggars huddled under the light of the street lamps, wrapped in dirty and worn-out rags, hummed in a low voice: "Along the shore, cutting through the clouds, the twin suns sink into the lake, The long shadow fell, and there it was, the wonderful night when the black star rose..."

The drunkard passing by spat and cursed: "Do the homeless people on the roadside know how to sing elegant poetry these days? Art, art is really worthless!"

As the stumbling drunkard passed the next streetlight, a group of people wearing ragged yellow clothes suddenly walked out of the street, silently wandering on the street. He was frightened all over.

Sober up.
