Mystery: The Stars Returner

"What an interesting conversation." A rare smile appeared on Sharon's face, which showed that the conversation just now was really interesting to her.

"This is a normal conversation between friends." Hastur explained with a serious look.

"Do not believe."

"Sharon, you are getting more and more naughty now."

Hastur walked up to Sharon, gently took her little hand and played with it. In the past three days, because Klein was in the castle, he had not had time to have a good intimacy with Sharon.

Sharon's beautiful eyes moved slightly, she lightly opened her red lips, and said in a gentle tone: "Isn't it good?"

"..." Hastur was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Of course, that's exactly what I hoped for."

"Oh, you didn't like the old me?"

"Sharon, you have to control yourself." Hastur added: "Such words come from your mouth, it really makes me happy."

Sharon just looked at him calmly and said nothing.

"Aren't you very curious about the relationship between me and Mr. Dawn Downstad?" Hastur took Sharon's hand and walked towards the castle. "I will tell you more about it slowly on the way."

……

"Mr. Hastur, you can't fool me. You are definitely as lucky as me."

On the carriage, Klein was in a pretty good mood.

Although he did not hear it directly from Hastur, he heard him admit that he was from the earth and was a time traveler of the same batch as himself.

But he was convinced of this guess in his heart. Hastur showed no obvious abnormality, which was also an abnormality.

Whether it was palace jade wine, odd or even changes, or a six-pointed star magic circle, when faced with these temptations, Hastur showed a shocked side, but his desire for knowledge about these novel contents was very low.

If you are a normal extraordinary person, when faced with these novel extraordinary knowledge, you will naturally have a desire for knowledge.

Seeking knowledge, this kind of emotion has never appeared in Hastur, especially the six-pointed star magic circle.

Hastur didn't even think about trying it once, which meant that he had long seen through that this six-pointed star magic circle was not a magic circle that traveled through time and space.

Because he knew it, he would naturally not think about trying to understand it.

Another point is that Hastur, as an admirer of the knowledge of Emperor Roselle, did not appear surprised or happy when he saw Roselle's diary that he handed over. Why he called Roselle's diary a diary was just a matter of fact. Qian Qian asked.

What made him think that Hastur was a time traveler the most was the moment of shock and hesitation when Hastur suddenly heard his Mandarin before leaving.

Although these emotional changes were fleeting, he could still see them all.

The shock is understandable, but why the hesitation?

What is Hastur hesitating about?

There is a feeling that you are about to blurt out something, but hold it back tightly at the last moment.

This was a trump card that he deliberately left at the last moment, just to attack Hastur suddenly when he let down his guard.

The result was gratifying, and he had gotten the answer he wanted.

As for why Hastur is unwilling to admit his identity as a time traveler, there are really too many possibilities.

Natural vigilance, desire to live a stable life, distrust of oneself... too many possibilities.

"I finally solved a major issue on my mind. It's time to leave South Wales and continue my role as a trickster."

Klein stretched out his hand to lift a corner of the carriage curtain and admired the natural scenery slowly receding.

"The sea is probably the best place for me right now."

Klein made a decision in his heart. Just as Mr. Hanged Man guessed, the sea would begin to undergo drastic changes. It was also a suitable place for him to experience. Moreover, he wanted to help Little Sun and help Silver City get out of the land abandoned by the gods.

The key to all this lies in the depths of the sea.

After Klein returned to Puning Port, Mr. Hanged Man had hidden his traces and disappeared. He came to the dock and wanted to take a boat out to sea, but not many ships were willing to go out to sea at this time.

After some inquiry, I found out that the activities of pirates have become more and more rampant recently. In order to retaliate against the Church of Storms, they often gather people to attack the Church of Storms in various ports.

Every port where a Church of Storms was built was attacked without exception.

What is even more incredible is that the Church of Storms, which has always been intolerant of pirates' wantonness, did not take any big action this time.

In normal times, Scenery Church would definitely contact naval forces everywhere to eliminate pirates who dare to offend.

The Church of Storms is out of manpower, and even the channels for sending messages may have been blocked... Klein had a rough guess in his mind.

He waited at the dock for two days before going out to sea with several merchant ships.

On the third day at sea, they encountered pirates wandering nearby. Fortunately, they were only a small pirate group and did not have the courage to come and plunder.

On the fifth day at sea, the merchant ship sailed to Zhongcheng Island. Klein disembarked here. He was going to turn here and head to the Rhoside Islands, which is currently the most well-informed place on the sea.

In addition, in order to promote the economic construction of the Star Sea Kingdom, they specially sent some ships to attract businessmen from various countries who were interested in investing.

Without prosperous commerce, it would be impossible to drive the huge carriage of the Star Sea Kingdom simply by relying on pirates' plunder.

Klein boarded the Star Sea Kingdom's ship at Zhongcheng Island, and it took him half a month to arrive at the Rhoside Islands.

Before they even got ashore, they saw rows of magnificent warships docked at the pier of the Rhoside Islands.

This is the rhythm of war.

After landing ashore, Klein made some inquiries and found out the current situation of the sea.

The pirate king who suddenly appeared gathered a large group of pirates together with the Kingdom of Star Sea, and formally declared war on the Church of Storms five days ago on the grounds of defending the freedom of pirates.

The Southern Continent specially sent twenty medium-sized warships and three heavy warships to support the Star Sea Kingdom.

At present, the war in the sea has gradually spread to the waters near Pasu Island.

Once Pasu Island is captured, only the Storm Abyss, the headquarters of the Church of Storms, will remain.

This development trend surprised Klein a little.

The Church of Storms has controlled the sea for so many years, but it gives people a feeling of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Not to mention effective counterattack, the pirates have now beaten them to their doorstep.

This is obviously not in line with the strength of the Church of Storms.

Klein thought deeply for a while and got the answer. The enemies of the Church of Storms are not only the pirate king and the Star Sea Kingdom, but also even more terrifying enemies hidden in the dark.

It was their actions that destroyed the key nodes of the Church of Storms on the sea, making it impossible for the Church of Storms to tighten its fists and launch an effective counterattack.

The wave of the times?

The Twilight Hermits.

While exchanging extraordinary knowledge with Hastur during those three days, Hastur inadvertently revealed the news that Adam was about to become a god.

After Klein finished his meal, he came to a secluded place and began to act as Gehrman Sparrow on the Rhoad Islands.

His reputation among pirates is pretty good, and his name is not on the list that was exposed. He is equivalent to a certified bounty pirate, which has increased his reputation a lot.

……

The Abyss of Storms, the church of the Church of Storms, is holding a cardinal meeting that has not been held for a long time.

This is a meeting that only the cardinals of the Church of Storms are qualified to participate in. It is the highest-level decision-making meeting of the Church of Storms.

The middle-aged man who looked to be in his early forties, sitting at the front with his eyes closed and concentrating, was the Pope of the Church of Storms and the favored one of the Lord of Storms, Gad II.

The passage of time has not left many traces on his face, but has engraved his perseverance through the vicissitudes of time. He has been in charge of the Council of Cardinals for nearly a hundred years.

"A group of pirates dare to show off their power to us. This is a shame to all of us Storm followers!"

"Destroy this group of reckless pirates and wash away their sins with the storm!"

"We shouldn't have allowed them to grow bigger in the first place. Now that they're fine, it's ridiculous to want to bite their owners!"

"The so-called Four Kings and Seven Pirate Generals are just a bunch of dancing grasshoppers that can be crushed to death at any time!"

"And that Kingdom of Star Sea, let's also wipe this kingdom from the sea!"

……

The cardinals present at the cardinal meeting showed a strong and confident side of the storm believers, and did not pay attention to the pirates' momentum and the chaotic situation on the sea.

Pope Gad II listened to the noisy, disdainful, and excited discussions around him without even raising his eyelids.

The teachings of the Church of Storms neither advocate fighting nor promote war, but they absolutely emphasize treating the enemy with the cruelty of a storm and venting any anger on the spot.

Therefore, it is common for cardinal meetings to be noisy, abusive, or even violent.
