Mystery: The Stars Returner

"Susie, I'm so angry suddenly!"

Backlund, Earl Hall's house, Audrey was looking at Susie with an unhappy expression.

"Woof?" Susie yelled cautiously.

"Someone bullied me, will you help me get revenge?"

"Woof!" Susie leaned down at the right time, showing a fierce grin.

"Mr. Hastur, he is the one who made me unhappy. Go and beat him up for me."

"Woof?" Susie wagged her tail and wanted to leave. Isn't it interesting that this young couple insists on tormenting her as a single dog?

Audrey came over, stroked Susie's head, thought for a while and said, "Susie, help me write a letter to Mr. Hastur, and be a little more angry."

"..." Susie raised her head and glanced at Audrey without saying a word.

"Susie, you just agreed to help me vent my anger."

Unable to bear Audrey's plea, Susie finally agreed to the matter.

It has also specially practiced writing letters. It knows that it is difficult for it to write correct handwriting, so it simply only practices simple drawings, using the least amount of ink to draw the most accurate meaning.

When the blank letter paper and ink were ready, Susie stretched out her right front paw, lightly dipped a little ink, and then began to draw seven or eight strokes on the letter paper.

"Susie..." After seeing the pattern drawn by Susie clearly, Audrey had a strange expression on her face, and finally couldn't help but let out a clear and sweet laugh.

"That's it. It's a very interesting painting."

Audrey affirmed Susie's efforts and blew the whistle that Hastur gave her to summon the messenger.

A bird with fiery red feathers opened the passage to the spirit world and came. Although it looked the same as before, Audrey still noticed that it was different from before.

The body is slightly unreal, and the light in the eyes is not that bright. This should be a clone of it.

Mr. Hastur even has his own clone of the messenger...

Audrey still collected the letter and gave it to the little firebird so that it could be delivered to Mr. Hastur's location.

Hastur had told her before that if his messenger was busy, he would help deliver the message in other ways, but she didn't expect it to be true.

……

The Kingdom of Feneport, with the spread of war in the southern continent, has long lost its previous peace and harmony.

The fields full of crops have now become the best strategic materials for the southern continent's invading army, and the fertile land has become a battlefield where war horses and artillery fire gallop.

The ruthlessness of war enveloped the entire Feneport Kingdom at this moment.

Yinsen City is a town located on the southern side of the Kingdom of Feneport. When the war spread, the stubborn resistance of the defenders here attracted waves of artillery fire from the southern continent.

The once bustling streets were riddled with holes, and the church belonging to the Mother Earth was also burned down by a fire.

When the iron heel of war goes away, only a dead ruin filled with gunpowder smoke is left.

After nightfall, not to mention using electricity for lighting, even raising a bonfire for heating is a luxury.

In the central square of the town, the still-living mayor summoned the surviving people and gathered together to raise a fire using wooden boards dismantled from the dilapidated houses and roast some peanuts, sweet potatoes and other crops freshly dug out of the ground to barely satisfy their hunger. .

No one wanted to speak at such a moment, there were only muffled sobs and the crackling sound of the wood being burned.

Silence and an atmosphere of despair enveloped the place.

The grain that was originally stored in their town for a year has been confiscated as strategic materials. After the baptism of war, grain has become their most scarce material currently.

The Earth Mother Goddess is in charge of reproduction, planting, and life. Her devout followers will one day worry about food and even starve to death.

Did the gods leave them, or did the gods have too much time to take care of themselves now?

They couldn't think of an answer to their question until someone murmured silently: "Can't the light of redemption shine upon those of us who have suffered so much?"

In the central fire, the flames that were about to extinguish suddenly burst into flames. The fire was brighter and warmer than before, enough to dispel the coldness of the night. Even the hunger in the stomach was relieved at this moment.

A shadow condensed from pure firelight stood on the orange-red silk carpet paved with flames.

Are gods answering their calls?

The people around who saw this scene, after a short period of shock and hesitation, worshiped this figure as the incarnation of the god.

As the number of people worshiping increased, the voices of prayer became louder and louder.

The incarnation of light gently stretched out a finger and pointed in a direction in the dark night.

They looked in that direction, but they only saw a dark night and a deserted suburb.

Before they could understand the meaning, the incarnation of light stepped down from the flames and walked straight in that direction.

The footprints he walked left behind clusters of fireworks, heading from the center of the town to the dark suburbs.

The incarnation of light moved very quickly and disappeared from the crowd's sight in the blink of an eye. Only clusters of fireworks formed by footprints were still guiding the way forward.

Without any organization or order from the mayor, the crowd spontaneously followed in the direction of the fireworks, like a pilgrimage.

When they followed the guidance of the light and arrived at their final destination, they found a cave buried by weeds and rocks.

A dozen strong young men walked out of the crowd and moved away the gravel to reveal the cave entrance.

After entering the cave entrance, they saw that the entire cave was filled with food, enough for them survivors to eat for two or three months.

With this buffer of time, they can reclaim their fields and plant food again, so that they will no longer go hungry in the future.

The incarnation of light, the guidance of light, and the miracle of light appeared in front of people in need of help on this suffering land, showing kindness far richer than that of gods.

All negative emotions such as hunger, injury, hardship, fear, etc., melt away under the pure light.

Some people say that when you have light in your heart, the incarnation of light will appear wherever there is light to help you and guide you forward.

Although this star's light was not so dazzling in the land of chaos and war, it did exist.

The horizon ushered in the dawn of a new day, and the warm sunshine drove away the coldness and despair of last night.

In the Hall of Stars, Hastur withdrew all his light incarnations, closed his eyes and rested for a while, then reached out and rubbed his temples and eyebrows.

Maintaining too many incarnations of light is extremely draining of spiritual power and energy.

He needs to provide specific guidance and help to each person seeking help based on their specific needs.

Sometimes he needs to help people who have lost their homes and lost their way to guide the way back. Sometimes he needs to help those who are sick and injured to bless and heal them. Sometimes he needs to use his extraordinary abilities to defeat fierce thieves or skirmishers. …

There were so many things that needed to be done, and just one night of such busy work made him a little overwhelmed.

"From now on, I can only work half a night, so as not to be too tired. Otherwise, sooner or later, I will die of exhaustion in the Palace of Stars."

Hastur rested for a while before returning to the real world.

He subconsciously reached out and touched the inside of the bed. It was empty. Sharon had already gotten up.

"Just a little more sleep."

Hastur closed his eyes and planned to rest for another hour or two, when he accidentally caught a glimpse of an extra letter on the bedside table.

There was a drawing of a lying golden retriever dog on the lower right corner of the envelope. This was a special envelope specially customized by Audrey for Susie.

Hastur propped up his upper body and leaned out from under the quilt. He stretched out his hand and the envelope flew into his hand.

When I opened it, I saw that there was only one pattern on the letter paper and three thick and long exclamation marks.

After taking a closer look, the pattern depicts an image of Audrey who is bulging with energy and is about to explode. She has only a round head and her facial features are about to be exploded. There is also an exclamation mark next to it that is full of warning.

Hasta immediately understood the meaning of Susie's letter. It was because Audrey was angry, and this time her anger was quite large and difficult to coax.

Did Audrey find out about her and Sharon's honeymoon trip to the Rhoside Islands?

Or is it because I have been busy using the Incarnation of Light to act as a digestive potion recently and have no time to write to her?

Hastur thought carefully about what happened during this period and felt that none of these would be the reason for Audrey to be angry.

She must have been angry because of other things, so Susie secretly wrote a letter to herself to warn her... No, Susie would not summon the messenger alone. This was what Audrey asked Susie to write.

"It seems like I have to go to Backlund to coax my lovely fiancée."

Hastur murmured, got up and changed into a new set of clothes, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then went downstairs to have breakfast.

Sharon and Azshara, who had already had breakfast, were wandering in the garden.

Hastur said hello to Sharon, opened a travel portal in the garden, and returned to Backlund.

Azshara wanted to follow her secretly, but Hastur, who had quick eyes and hands, grabbed her and threw her out of the travel portal, almost knocking her butt off.

"Mom Sharon, why don't you care about your man?"

As soon as Azshara finished complaining, she was hit on the back of her head and Sharon's indifferent voice came over.

"Practice calligraphy this afternoon until dinner."
