Mystery: The Stars Returner

Sure enough, it was Zaratul. It seemed that Hastur's slap was not the wrong person.

Klein's originally a little guilty mood suddenly felt much lighter. If this person was not Zaratul, it would be really bad to slap an old man for no reason.

If it was Zaratul, there would be no problem.

Just think of it as fighting for Emperor Russell, he really wanted to beat Zaratul.

"you know me?"

Zaratul's calm gaze, like a lake that has been silent for countless years, can easily reflect Klein's mental state.

Know that his emotions fluctuate when he hears his name.

"I've heard that last name before."

"In the historical materials of the Fourth Age Empire, it is a very remarkable surname."

Klein tried to keep himself as normal as possible to prevent Zaratul from easily seeing through his thoughts.

"The Fourth Age has passed so far away. Are today's young people also interested in that dusty history?"

"When I was in college, I majored in history, so I was involved in these ancient pasts."

"If you want to ask about the history of the Fourth Age, I may be able to give you some answers, which may subvert your understanding of existing history."

At this moment, Zaratul was like a kind and enthusiastic old teacher, with the light of recalling history in his eyes.

"Of course it's great."

Klein himself is indeed interested in the mist-like history. Since Zaratul is determined to pretend to be an enthusiastic old man, he will naturally not miss this good opportunity to ask questions.

He talked from the rise to the fall of the Solomon Empire, and asked some questions about the history of the Third Age.

Zaratul was very patient, and he basically gave answers to these questions.

I don’t know whether it’s out of professional habits or intentional. When answering questions, I always have reservations, just like when I take off my pants, I always only take them off halfway.

Not crisp and refreshing at all.

After chatting for twenty or thirty minutes, Klein gained a lot from Zaratul's narration of history, and he confirmed it with the knowledge he had.

"Do you want to leave here?" The image of Chara is a cunning devil who will choose to throw out a tempting bait at the right time when the conversation is harmonious.

"think."

"Then maybe I can help you."

"Why don't you get out of here yourself?"

"Haha, I am already dead. The me standing in front of you is just a historical image captured a long time ago."

Zaratul said this very easily, but it gave people a very pretentious feeling, which was more subtle and quiet than Russell's pretentiousness.

"If you have the opportunity to reach the peak of this extraordinary path, you will naturally understand that history is our best friend."

“I wish I could get that far and see it with my own eyes.”

Seeing that Klein seemed to recognize him, Zaratul told him how to leave here.

At the end, He sighed and said: "I just hope that my ashes can be scattered in the Celenzo River near Trier, the capital of Intis. That is my hometown and the place where I was born."

Gee, this acting is so good, I almost believe it.

If Zaratul is really dead, Hastur will never come in specifically to deal with him, and the Secret Order is still active in the mysterious world and has been pursuing the Antigonus family notes.

As for the Zaratul in front of him being a historical image, it is also very doubtful.

Being locked up here by the goddess of the night cannot be a random historical image.

It should be a clone, and a very important clone.

Klein agreed while thinking about the next countermeasures.

"I can also tell you the Magician's potion formula as a reward for asking you to take my ashes back to my hometown."

This reward is really generous... Klein complained, and then accepted the matter with a smile.

The Sequence 4 Conspiracy Mage was originally his target for this adventure to sneak into St. Samuel's Church.

"You have such a high status, if the ashes you left behind were dumped into the Serenzo River, wouldn't it cause mutations in the creatures in the river?"

Zaratul smiled and said: "This is not something to worry about. My ashes have lost their extraordinary properties and will not cause any changes."

"That puts me at ease."

Klein felt that before he tried to leave, he could squeeze some more useful knowledge from Zaratul.

"What is the origin of this stone statue?"

"He is a descendant of an ancient god." Zaratul chuckled and said, "He also has a brother, who should be familiar to you."

"Antigonus."

Antigonus...the Kingdom of the Night...Hornakis...Fregera...

Klein began to put the fragmented information together and sort out the general story of what happened.

After squeezing out a pile of extraordinary knowledge from Zaratul, Klein briefly left the church and went to search for the obsidian in Zaratul's mouth.

This object is necessary to open the door here, in this foggy town.

After some searching, Klein finally found the piece of obsidian. He returned to the church and faced Zaratul again, finding that he seemed to be very sure that he could retrieve the obsidian he needed.

Can He see my future?

With doubts, Klein handed the obsidian to Zaratul for a look. Zaratul nodded and said, "You are a very lucky person."

"I've always thought so."

"It's good, the lucky ones go further down this path."

"Thank you for your kind words."

After a few words of greeting, Zaratul told Klein the opening symbol and the magician's potion formula, and even said in a joking tone: "You can try to divine whether this potion formula is true."

"I believe in your character." Klein said with a smile.

"Believing too much in one person is not a quality that a qualified Extraordinary should possess."

Yes, so I don’t believe what you say in my heart... The smile on Klein’s face is still there.

This opening symbol taught to him by Zaratul is generally consistent with the complex symbols provided by the Antigonus Family Notes through the Ragdoll of Doom.

However, there are still slight differences in the details between the two. The meniscus pattern and a fold line logo have swapped positions.

As the first owner of the Antigonus Family Notebook, it is absolutely impossible for Zaratul to remember this symbol incorrectly. The reason for the difference must be that Zaratul has some conspiracy.

Fortunately, I knew this complex symbol in the Antigonus family notes in advance, otherwise I would not have been able to clearly see Zarath's calculation in this regard.

"All the conditions have been met, you can open the door to escape."

Having said this, Zaratul looked at Klein again and chuckled: "Young man, don't forget to take my urn."

As the words fell, his entire body disintegrated into countless tiny light spots, spreading around and then blending into the void.
