Mystery: The Stars Returner

After dinner, Hastur asked Butler Neil to arrange a room for Klein.

During a short break, Sharon came to Hastur's study and saw Hastur holding a stack of Roselle's diaries with an interesting smile. She sometimes shook her head, as if she had no comment on the contents recorded on it.

"Sharon, come, take a look at this magic circle." Hasta waved, Sharon walked over and saw a magic circle with a six-pointed star drawn on a piece of paper. She didn't see anything outstanding or special about it. It’s a place worth laughing at.

Hasta said deliberately mysteriously: "This is the magic circle left by Emperor Russell that can travel through time and space."

Sharon lowered her head and studied it carefully for a while. She felt that this magic circle was simple and easy to understand, but such lines were obviously too simple. It could not be a magic circle that traveled through time and space, or even a magic circle.

A child of just a few years old could draw this pattern just by drawing on the ground with a branch. It is impossible for him to possess the extraordinary power of communication.

"Do you believe it?" Sharon looked at Hastur calmly, as if she was saying this to coax a child. Do you believe it too?

"Hahaha..." Hasta couldn't hold back his smile, pointing at the six-pointed star magic circle and said: "I believe it is a magic circle, but I don't believe that its function can travel through time and space."

"Try it." Sharon gestured to Hastur to draw a magic circle as a demonstration.

"No need." Hastur shook his head and chuckled, "It requires a special method and a summoner to be effective."

"Really?" Sharon still didn't believe it, and looked down at the six-pointed star magic circle for a while, still not recognizing what kind of magic circle it was.

"I haven't found it so interesting in a long time. Dawn Downstad really does everything for me."

"Oh." Sharon raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Have you been bored with me lately?"

Realizing that he had said something wrong, Hasta quickly apologized and said, "It's precisely because the days spent with you were so interesting that I can't be interested in anything I watch now."

"Lies." Sharon whispered, "I made it up on the fly."

"..." Hastur put down the stack of Russell's diaries in his hand and said with a smile: "Sharon, I don't even have any secrets in front of you now."

"Another lie."

"..." Hastur coughed lightly, "Then let's talk about something sincere."

Sharon just looked at him quietly, as if trying to understand whether Hastur's next sentence was true or false.

"Sharon you are so beautiful."

"The truth."

"Sharon you are so cute."

This time Sharon didn't speak, but looked at Hastur with a bit of tenderness.

"Sharon, I want to hold you so much."

"Sharon, I really want to do something with you that makes you shy."

Without waiting for Hastur to continue speaking, Sharon turned and left.

……

"Is there really nothing suspicious?" Klein went to a nearby garden for a walk as an excuse.

He had been in this castle for two days, but through his daily observations, he could not get a glimpse of Hastur's unusual side from his daily life.

Hasta's daily life is very regular. He used to sleep in Miss Sharon's room at night, but recently because of his arrival, he went back to his bedroom to rest.

Wake up in the morning, freshen up, go downstairs to eat, take the little girl named Azshara out for a walk, and then return to the study to read or deal with some chores.

At noon, he usually takes a nap of half an hour to an hour.

In the afternoon, he would invite Miss Sharon and some people in the castle to go out for outdoor activities, such as horseback riding, archery and hunting.

After dinner in the evening, he basically stayed in the study and went to bed around ten o'clock.

This was a simple day for Hastur.

Seeing that he could not make any breakthrough from Hastur, he deliberately chatted with the maids, laborers, gardeners, chefs, etc. who worked in the castle, and asked about Hastur's situation without leaving any trace during the chat.

The only secret he found that was worth hearing was that Azshara was not Hastur's biological daughter, but had suddenly appeared a few months ago. Miss Sharon was a happy partner who had been dating Hastur for a long time.

Apart from this, he did not find out any other meaningful information in this castle.

There is no way to be sure that Hastur is the same time traveler as himself.

He also tried to conduct divination above the gray fog, but he didn't get any useful information. Even if it was just divination, as long as Hastur was involved, his divination was not successful.

Almost three days have passed, and he can only postpone his plan to expose Hastur's true identity. After all, he cannot keep this place for Hastur to raise, even though the life of waking up at sunrise and resting at sunset is very comfortable.

Therefore, Klein proposed his intention to leave to Hastur in the early morning of the third day.

"Mr. Hastur, I have wasted too much of your precious time here. Although I like the living environment here very much and everything here fascinates me, I still need to run the business that I have neglected, so I figured in an hour, that would be the best time for me to leave.”

"Mr. Dawn Downstairs, this is really a regrettable decision. As you know, this place is located in a remote place, and there are not many visitors from Backlund all year round."

"That's because your friends don't know yet what kind of beautiful place this is, no, it's heaven on earth."

"Thanks to your praise, I feel a little relieved to be alone in a secluded place."

"I'm just honestly describing how I feel."

“Praise honesty.”

Klein and Hastur stood together and said goodbye. The polite remarks made Azshara next to her feel uncomfortable, and she quickly slipped into the garden to play alone.

Sharon listened uncharacteristically with interest. From her perspective, this Dawn Downstad was definitely not a simple person, and this person also had some important significance to Hastur.

Although Hastur had a deeper friendship and better relationship with Grayk and the others on the surface, she could definitely say that in terms of status in Hastur's heart, this Dwayne Downstad was definitely better than Grayk and the others.

Not all people can be taken seriously by Hasta.

So she was very interested in listening to the conversation between the two, and seeing the fake to almost real smiles on their faces made her even more interested in watching.

"I really hate to have you leave. Alas, your departure will make me lack the necessary comfort in the days to come. This is undoubtedly painful." It was Hastur who spoke.

"I also feel regretful and even sad about this, but parting is for a better reunion, so I look forward to the joy of meeting next time."

After Klein finished speaking, he and Hastur looked at each other, and then they looked away with tacit understanding. They both felt that there were dense knots sprouting on their arms. Well, they were so numb that even they could no longer hold their breath and lurked.

Before leaving, Hastur personally escorted Klein to the gate of the castle. When Klein was about to leave in a carriage, he suddenly said: "Mr. Hastur, see you later."

"..." Hasta subconsciously followed Klein and said, "We'll see you later."

Fortunately, he suddenly came back to his senses and stopped the words that were already on his lips.

Klein’s words are not Loen, nor Ancient Fusac, nor Ancient Hermes, but pure Mandarin!

It had been a long time since he heard his hometown dialect, and Hasta almost started talking nonsense.

Fortunately, fortunately, he did not follow up with the four words "see you later" in Mandarin.

Otherwise, his identity as a time traveler would be directly exposed to Klein.

Without long-term edification and practice, you will not be able to speak pure Mandarin for the first time you hear it, but you will be able to speak Mandarin with a foreign accent.

Okay, Klein, you're a thick-browed guy, when did your kind heart become full of eyes?

"Mr. Dawn Downstairs, what language are you talking about? Why have I never heard of it?" Hastur, who had reacted, asked in shock in Loenese with a pure Loen Backlund aristocratic accent.

"Mr. Hastur, please forgive me for the offense. That is the blessing language I learned from the aborigines on a remote island when I was traveling in the sea."

Faced with Hastur's question, Klein still smiled broadly and said, "The general meaning of this blessing is: We will eventually meet in the future, and may we each be bathed in the sanctity of the same sun."

"Mr. Dawn Downstad is really knowledgeable and talented." Hastur complimented him unintentionally, and then smiled: "This language sounds quite interesting, but I don't know if it is difficult to learn?"

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I didn't study the language systematically at that time. I only learned this blessing." Klein's lie came out of nowhere. Everyone was talking to each other anyway. He didn't believe Hastur. Have you always been honest?

"I wonder where that island is?"

"Oh, in the turbulent sea just west of the West Balam Star Plateau, a little further south, first go around a small island, and then you can see the location of the island. The trees there are particularly distinctive, regardless of the What kind of trees are they? They are all bare and easy to identify.”

Klein described it very realistically, and even drew a simple route map for Hastur from the air.

Hastur knew that Klein was definitely talking nonsense. There was absolutely no such island in that sea area!

Klein also knew that Hastur would never take the time to look for it.

Even if Hastur really sends people to search, the sea is so big, it’s normal to look in the wrong direction and the wrong place, right?

Taking a step back, even if Hastur doesn't believe what he says, what does it matter?

Everyone has their own little secret, and Hastur is no different.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, with a reluctant farewell expression on their faces again. After Klein said goodbye again in Rune language, he left in a carriage.
