Mystery: The Stars Returner

Soon, there was a seeker who came across the ocean on a raft and came to the sea.

He had a beard, a head of dull brown hair, and a half-finger-long scar on his right face. He was wearing wet gray clothes, and his feet that had been soaked in water for a long time had turned white.

When the seeker was discovered, he was so hungry that he could hardly open his eyes, and his chapped lips were evidence of extreme dehydration.

But he was rescued and brought back from the sea by a family of fishermen who lived on the beach.

There is a small fishing village here, where everyone spends half of their time working and fishing to make ends meet during the day, and the other half of their time studying and swimming in the ocean of knowledge.

Night is the time to go crazy. There are always some people who cannot bear the infusion of knowledge and suddenly become crazy overnight. Finally, they walk step by step into the sea and never appear again.

Under the brainwashing and induction of the villagers in this fishing village, the rescued seeker also became obsessed with the pursuit of knowledge. In just a few days, he became exactly like the people here.

The village head who was responsible for preaching and receiving his vocation asked someone to tell him quietly that if he wanted to pursue real knowledge, he could pray to a great being, and He would satisfy every seeker's meager hope for knowledge.

He is a sage who delights in sowing the seeds of knowledge, and is knowledge itself.

Out of the desire for knowledge, the seekers chanted that venerable name devoutly.

"The incarnation of all spiritual numbers."

"The sage who leads the direction of the long river of knowledge."

“Knowledge is He and He is knowledge.”

……

In the Hall of Stars, Hasta is watching the large-scale reality show performance contributed by Russell with great interest. This can be regarded as one of the more interesting things he has found in the past few days.

Russell's acting skills are very good and he is very attentive. He sacrifices his life to catch the hidden sage. If it succeeds, it can be regarded as a great story.

Hastur watched for a while. The Hidden Sage paid no attention to Russell, the new believer, and did not even look at him.

It is estimated that He now knows that the stars have been looking for Him, so he has become extra cautious.

Hasta watched for a while longer, then turned his attention to the Feysac Empire. The latest investigation information from the Yellow Clothes Church revealed that most members of the Moss Ascetic Order had migrated to the chaotic land of the Feysac Empire.

Considering the large-scale sacrificial ceremony that took place in the capital of the Fusac Empire before, it is basically certain that the followers of the Hidden Sage are here.

In order to find out the location of the Hidden Sage and attract his attention, Hastur directly issued an oracle and asked the Yellow Clothes Church to completely eliminate the members of the Moss Ascetic Order.

Even if you can't force out the hidden sage, you can still find the hiding Sequence 2 spokesperson first, which is also a good gain.

Half a month passed in a flash. Russell, who had been staying in the fishing village and completely integrated into the local life, once again called out the name of the Hidden Sage at night.

This time, he clearly felt a gaze glancing at him from a distant place, and then looked away again.

There is some more knowledge in his mind. Although this knowledge is unbearable for ordinary people, for him, it is only the amount of a drop of water, which cannot even quench his thirst, let alone burst his body. abdomen.

In order to act more realistically, Russell pretended that he could not bear the infusion of knowledge. He stayed in the room facing the air and acted for three days, and finally walked out of the room with a look of embarrassment and pain.

Another week passed, and Russell once again felt the gaze of the Hidden Sage. This time, he still didn't stop and just poured a bunch of useless knowledge into him.

In order to make himself more important, Russell chose to swallow the magic potion and was promoted to Sequence 9 Secret Peeper, showing his crazy pursuit of the knowledge of hidden sages.

This time, when he was chanting the honorable name of the Hidden Sage, the Hidden Sage's gaze stayed slightly longer than before, and he finally gained some more important knowledge.

For example, the magic potion formula on how to advance to Sequence 8 combat scholar, and a small stronghold of Moss Ascetic Order.

Russell chose to leave the fishing village and go to that base with some lucky people who also pursued knowledge and survived.

A month later, Russell, who was successfully promoted to Sequence 8 Fighting Scholar, felt the whispers in his own ears for the first time while chanting the name of the Hidden Sage. Each whisper was a piece of crazy and boring knowledge. , washed through Russell's mind.

At this moment, Russell and Hastur, who had been watching here, simultaneously sensed the source of the Hidden Sage's aura.

"Finally, I'm waiting for you, old Yinbi!" Russell's eyes showed a fierce light. After more than two months of acting, even he felt that it was too disgusting.

Hastur, who was sitting in the Hall of Stars, accurately grasped the position of the breath of the Hidden Sage. A starlight fell down and turned into a clone that appeared on the river of knowledge of the Hidden Sage.

The long river of knowledge flowing forward was when Hastur arrived here. Pause for a moment, then move on.

A huge light and shadow made entirely of knowledge runes, towering over the river of knowledge, overlooking Hastur who appeared here.

"Stars."

"Hidden Sage." Hastur glanced around, "Hidden well."

"You are just an incarnation..." Before the Hidden Sage finished speaking, another figure appeared around him.

Russell also appeared here.

"Roselle..." The Hidden Sage's tone was a little bit shocked. The fact that Russell appeared here was indeed beyond his expectation.

"Old guy, who allowed you to bully my daughter!" Russell took off his disguise angrily, looked at Hastur again, raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "How about it, my method is not bad, right?"

"So that's it." The Hidden Sage nodded, "Unfortunately, it's not enough."

As soon as the words fell, the entire river of knowledge dimmed instantly, and the figure of the Hidden Sage disappeared directly in front of Hastur and Russell, without a trace.

"Just let Him leave like this?" Russell looked at Hastur with a puzzled look.

"Once you appear, you can't hide." Hasta had a gentle smile on his face.

Above the Hall of Stars, he has seen the light belonging to the Hidden Sage lighting up, and he can track his whereabouts at any time.

No matter how the Hidden Sage flees, finding him no longer has to be so troublesome.

Russell didn't say anything. It was unrealistic to stop the Hidden Sage with just his and Hastur's clones.

"There happens to be one thing that needs to be dealt with." Hastur said, telling Russell the news he had just discovered about the Sequence 2 spokesperson of the Hidden Sage, and asking Russell to handle the matter.

Russell is definitely capable of dealing with a Sequence 2 angel.

As for the Hidden Sage, it is necessary to invite several foreign aids and consider subsequent changes in the situation. Maybe Adam will suddenly intervene.

"That's it?" Russell looked at Hastur with disgust and asked him to deal with a Sequence 2 angel. Who is he looking down on?

After all, he was once a Sequence 0 Black Emperor!

Hastur did not speak, just glanced at Russell, then dispersed this incarnation and returned to the Hall of Stars.

"Oh, who made me owe you so many favors? Since ancient times, it has been difficult to repay favors."

Russell muttered a few words and left the place.

He worked very efficiently, and after three days, he obtained the extraordinary characteristics of this Sequence 2 angel for Hastur.

"One angel for another, you won't lose money on this transaction." Hastur lowered a clone in front of Russell, looking at the Sequence 2 Extraordinary Characteristics in a good mood.

"What do you mean?"

"Bernadette needs an angel to escort her."

"???"

Russell's mind was filled with big questions. Does this mean that he wants to become an angel under his daughter?

I was once a Sequence 0 Black Emperor!

Now that he has returned, no matter how depressed he is, he will not fall to the level of a Sequence 2 angel on earth, right?

Moreover, it would be too embarrassing for the old father to become the angel under his precious daughter, right?

It should be the other way around!

Otherwise, how can I show the majesty of an old father in front of my lovely Bernadette?

Hastur just glanced at Russell calmly, "This is the most suitable destination for you."

"No, no, no need." Russell waved his hand and refused, and said proudly: "Since I have been resurrected, I will naturally be promoted to Sequence 0 again!"

"There is no place for you anymore." After Hastur said these words, he left with his Sequence 2 Extraordinary Characteristics.

No place for me anymore?

Are you kidding, there are only a few sequence 0s now?

No matter how bad it is, after the Hidden Sage is eliminated, the Hermit's extraordinary path will always be free, right?

Even if he is not in the same path as himself, it is not the first time that he has been promoted across paths.

Moreover, it is completely possible for his daughter to continue on this extraordinary path and replace the position of the Hidden Sage, while he becomes a black emperor again. I believe that the people of Intis have not forgotten their emperor.

"Oh, I won't be a guardian angel!" Russell curled his lips with disdain, "Who doesn't know that fairy tales are all lies?"
