Mystery: The Stars Returner

Yes, he is showing off his wealth.

Hastur would never have such thoughts in front of other people, but in front of the poor Fool, he always wanted to show off his wealth and give Mr. Fool a little spiritual shock.

"Mr. Dawn Downstad, you seem to be confused about tonight's banquet?"

While waiting for the maids to serve the food, Hastur was the first to bring up the subject.

"Such a grand banquet is an honor and affirmation for everyone." Klein added: "But as an unknown businessman from Disi Bay, I really cannot accept such an invitation, and I am really scared."

"When I first saw you, for some reason I was very interested and wanted to make friends with you."

"It's my pleasure."

While the two were chatting with each other, carefully prepared dishes were brought to the table by the beautiful maids.

"Please taste it."

"Thank you again for your hospitality."

Klein was no longer polite. Anyway, Hastur, who was sitting opposite him, already knew his true identity.

"The wine tonight is not bad, try it."

Hastur motioned the maid to pour Klein a glass of fragrant, amber-colored wine.

"Could this be the long-standing bottle of wine that was auctioned by the acrylic auction house some time ago and is suspected to be brewed by elves?"

Klein still learned from the newspaper that this bottle of wine was auctioned, and it was said that it sold for a high price of 8000 gold pounds.

Unexpectedly, it was auctioned off by Hasta and was used to entertain me tonight.

Judging from the size of this wine bottle, it can only fill about ten glasses of this kind of wine tonight.

In other words, each glass of wine is worth 800 gold pounds!

This is not about drinking, this is simply about eating money!

My previous year's salary could only afford this glass of wine.

Luxury and corruption must be severely criticized!

Klein drank a glass, and then drank another glass.

Not to mention, the taste of this wine is indeed very different. It not only has the aroma of money, but also seems to have a vitality for the growth of all things. Once you drink it in your stomach, it is like a seed of life, which is breaking open and blooming little by little. .

He suspected that it was his imagination that had given this glass of wine too much.

When this bottle of elven wine worth 8000 gold pounds is finished, tonight's dinner is considered over.

After dinner, Hastur invited Klein to the study on the second floor.

Entering the study and sitting on the comfortable and soft sofa, Klein said with a wry smile: "How did Mr. Hastur see through my disguise this time?"

"Your name."

"Is there anything special about the name Dwayne Downstadt?"

"Before I returned to Backlund from South Wales, I saw that such a character would appear."

"Seeing through the future?"

"Just a glimpse into the future."

Hastur answered sincerely, and he did not lie on this question.

He had known for a long time that one day in the future, Klein would appear under the name Dwayne Downstadt.

When this name appeared, the persona was that of a wealthy man from Disi Bay. He naturally recognized this as Klein's disguised new identity.

"Mr. Hastur, people like you are really scary." Klein said with emotion.

He really couldn't figure out the young and handsome Hasta in front of him. His origins were mysterious, his purpose was also mysterious, and he seemed to understand himself very well.

"You and I have never been enemies."

"I hope so."

"That's right, no one can predict what will happen in the future."

Hasta dismissed the topic with a smile and began to chat with Klein about what happened in Backlund recently.

After chatting for about half an hour, Klein finally asked: "Mr. Hastur invited me to the banquet tonight. Isn't it just for small talk?"

Of course not, I just want to show off my wealth in front of you... Hasta smiled in his heart, but said: "In the next Backlund, there will be an unpleasant character, we There may be a possibility of joining forces.”

"Who?"

"Amon the Blasphemer." Hastur added, "Don't worry, he won't hear his name even if I call him here."

Klein's pupils shrank and he took a deep breath. He was no stranger to Amon.

If Amon really came to Backlund, he would probably not be able to hide his true identity at such a close distance.

"Is this also a corner of the future?"

"Well, I believe that day is not far away."

Klein was silent for a while and then asked curiously: "Mr. Hastur has a grudge against Amon?"

Hasta thought for a while and said, "You just don't like him. Do you think this is a sufficient reason?"

It's really a completely willful reason. Mr. Hastur doesn't seem to care that much about Amon, the King of Angels. There is only one explanation for this. Behind him, there is a god.

Judging from the performance from the beginning of contact to the present, his belief is definitely not the only six gods left today, but other mysterious and ancient existences.

The only ones who have been relatively active recently are the Stars and the King in Yellow, and these two should be the same being.

In other words, behind Hastur are the stars, and he is a believer in the stars!

Klein roughly guessed the identity of Mr. Hastur in front of him, but he didn't know how much he knew about him.

"If Amon really comes to Backlund, I will be happy to cooperate with Mr. Hastur." Klein gave his answer with a smile.

"I think we'll have a great time working together."

"I think so."

……

Since the Bellland Bridge case was announced to have been solved by the police, Backlund has been much quieter recently.

As the captain of a red glove team, Leonard has had a smooth career recently and has made many contributions.

With Hastur's secret information, he led his team members to destroy more than a dozen strongholds of the secret organization.

This includes the Moss Ascetic Order, the Aurora Order, the Witch Sect, the Twilight Hermit Order, the Secret Order...

The main ones were the Moss Ascetic Order and the Esoteric Order, and the one that shocked Leonard the most was the Twilight Hermits.

He could not have imagined that there would be so many important figures joining the Twilight Hermits organization behind their backs.

He was a little frightened at first, after all, this secret organization was very unusual, but when he asked the old man inside him, the old man let him go and do it, saying that he had already been paid attention to by so many beings, so what was an Adam?

When he thought about this, he treated everyone equally and investigated everyone on the list one by one.

The Church of the Goddess of the Night gave him great rights in this matter and silently cooperated with his actions.

After more than two weeks of this sweep, the entire Backlund became much quieter, and the number of rats who dared to show up again was much smaller than before.

Leonard also got the bounty for his meritorious service as he wished, and everything went so smoothly that he couldn't believe it.

"Old man, what you said before really makes sense. Misfortune is the beginning of good luck."

The old man in his body just chuckled and ignored the silly boy.

"Old man, why did you suddenly stop talking?"

"Oh, you really want me to say it?"

"You can say whatever you want, I'm blessed with good fortune and everything is smooth."

"Be careful when extreme joy leads to sorrow."

"Old man, I don't see where the sadness is..." Leonard's pupils shrank immediately, and he clearly saw where his sadness was.

The ageless witch Miss Selenophina was actually standing on the street below, waving to him through a window two floors away.

……

Earl Hall's house.

Mr. Hastur is going to be a guest at home tonight. He likes sweets, so he has to ask the pastry chef in the kitchen to prepare them in advance. But, will it be bad to eat too many sweets?

Audrey thought for a while, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly. She turned her beautiful emerald eyes, saw the time on the wall clock, put away all her thoughts, and returned to her bedroom.

In the corner of the bedroom, Susie, the big golden retriever dog, was lying on the ground, with her two front legs crossed, looking very elegant.

There was an open book in front of it, with lines of words densely written on it.

From time to time, Susie raised one of her front legs and fiddled with it to turn the pages of the book, reading very carefully.

Every time she sees Susie reading so seriously, she feels a little ashamed... Audrey, you can't relax in your studies, lest you be surpassed by Susie.

Audrey encouraged herself and slowly moved closer to get a clear look at the book Susie was reading.

When she saw the content clearly, her brows furrowed slightly. Susie quickly turned the page and covered the entire book. She moved forward slightly and covered the entire book with the cover under her body.

"Audrey, you're back."

"Susie, don't try to change the subject." Audrey pointed to the book that was already under Susie's body and asked, "Why don't I remember this book? Where did you find it?"

"..."

Just as Susie's sparkling eyes were about to turn, Audrey said first: "Earl Hall has not purchased any additional books recently. He only buys the books from the previous month at the beginning of the month. Books that just came out.”

"My eldest brother Hibbert, his study room at home is basically furnished. If he buys books, they are placed outside."

"..."

Susie couldn't think of a good reason for a while. She looked up at the time on the wall clock and said excitedly: "Mr. Hastur is coming soon. I'll go greet him."

After saying that, it ignored Audrey's suspicious gaze, held the book in its mouth, and hurried out.

"Susie, you are becoming more and more dishonest now." Audrey was already sure that the book was definitely not a collection in her home.

Mr. Hastur must have secretly bought it for Susie!

No wonder Susie agreed so readily last time!

"Mr. Hastur, huh, you are also being dishonest along with Susie."

Audrey pouted slightly and waved her fist slightly.

At the door of Earl Hall's house, Hastur, who had not yet gotten off the carriage, yawned for no reason, always feeling that something was wrong.
