Mystery: The Stars Returner

The night was as calm as ever, without any disturbance due to the roar of wild beasts.

The angry roars turned into a hoarse whisper at the end.

"You are not optimistic about him, you would rather choose a Miracle Master who has just been promoted to Sequence 2."

Zaratul laughed to himself, then put away his anger and turned into extreme coldness.

What is the reason for this situation?

Obviously he already possesses two Sequence 1 Mysterious Waiter extraordinary characteristics. As long as he goes to the Honakis Mountains and finds Antigonus, who is known as the Half Fool, he can have the final fight.

Once you succeed, you will be Sequence 0, and you will be the real fool!

That Mr. Fool from the Tarot Club is just an impostor thief, and he is the person who has gone the furthest on this path of fortune telling.

However, whether it is the stars or the goddess of the night, they all choose to be optimistic about Klein's miracle master and ignore themselves.

He had to admit that Klein's life trajectory was indeed extraordinary, but he was currently the one closest to success.

"Perhaps by solving that Klein, we can force the Night Goddess to choose us and give us a chance to go to the Honakis Mountains, because the Night Goddess has no better choice."

Such an idea suddenly came to Zaratul's heart, but soon, he gave up this naive idea.

The stars are still watching everything in the sky. If you go to find Klein, you will fall into a trap.

Now it is Klein who needs to find Him, not He who needs to find Klein.

While Zaratul was whispering alone, a smiling voice came from behind.

"It's so pitiful. No one has chosen you. You have been completely abandoned. In the end, you can only become someone else's foil."

Zaratul didn't need to look back to know that the person speaking was Amon. Oh, Amon was not a human being.

"What about you? How much better can you be than me?" Zaratul sneered, "As the son of the ancient Sun God, you have not yet become a god, and the stars are always watching you in the starry sky. Even if you collect three copies of the Time What about the extraordinary characteristics of the insect? Do you dare to be promoted directly? Have you met the conditions of the promotion ceremony?"

"So I came to find you." Amon said in a calm tone: "You should know the ritual conditions required for the Thief to advance to Sequence 0 through the Extraordinary Path."

"Replace others to become a god." Zaratul's eyes narrowed slightly, and then there was a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth, "Do you think I will voluntarily become your stepping stone?"

"Yes, because you have no other better choice."

"You are very confident." Zaratul still sneered: "Am I really that stupid in your eyes?"

"You are naturally smart. Only smart people know how to leave a way out for themselves."

"You want to help me get into the Honakis Mountains?"

"Yes."

"Do you have this ability?"

"The Thief Path is best at finding loopholes. The Honakis Mountain Range is just a slightly more troublesome iron box. As long as I am willing, I can configure a suitable key at any time."

"Oh, will the goddess of the night sit back and watch you do whatever you want?"

"meeting."

Zaratul was silent for a while, then smiled: "Unfortunately, my answer is still no."

He has understood the meaning of Amon's words. He wants to let himself enter the Honakis Mountains and find Antigonus. When he starts to advance to Sequence 0, he will replace him and become a god.

And the only price he had to pay was to spare his own life.

It sounds like I am at a loss, but in fact I am still at a loss.

"What do you think the goddess of the night and the stars who have rejected you want to do most next?" Amon pushed up his monocle, and the crystal lens flashed with the light of the starry sky, "You are dating Klein. If he wants to move forward on the same extraordinary path, you must abdicate. You are mortal enemies, and reconciliation is destined to be impossible."

"So what? I would rather die on the road to becoming a god than be used as a stepping stone. You underestimate me!" Zaratul showed no interest in continuing to chat with Amon and left directly, disappearing into the night sky. middle.

"Yes, you do have a strong belief. Unfortunately, no one is optimistic about you anymore. This is not a calculation, but a plan."

Amon whispered softly, as long as he creates a loophole in the Hornakis Mountains, can Zaratul really endure the temptation of being promoted to Sequence 0?

Zaratul's end has already been determined. Becoming a stepping stone on the road to success for others is his final destination.

In fact, the goddess of the night did not let Zaratul enter the Hornakis Mountains, not only because she was not optimistic about Zaratul, but she was also on guard against herself.

Prevent yourself from being promoted to god with the help of Zaratul.

Oh, the gods at both ends of the head and rat.

On the one hand, he keeps a distance from the stars, but on the other hand, he is afraid that his side is too strong.

……

Backlund, it has been a month since Klein came back to live here. He works from Monday to Friday until five o'clock in the afternoon, then takes a carriage back, first goes to the vegetable market to buy some ingredients, and then goes home to cook.

Benson and Melissa usually go home for dinner at 5:40. Usually after dinner, Klein will take them out for a walk, such as to the West End or Queens, to experience Backlund life with rich nightlife.

On Saturdays and Sundays, Klein would buy tickets for art performances in advance, such as operas, circus performances, symphonies, etc.

"It seems that your return to Backlund's life is very good." Will listened to Klein's account of his life during this period.

"Isn't your life very enviable?"

"You are different from me." Will paused, smiled and said, "It's nothing, that's fine."

"Do you know where Leonard is now?"

"He has become a bard, and if you want to find him, taverns around the world are good places to go."

"He always has an enviable free and easy attitude about him."

After chatting for a while, Klein invited: "I'm cooking tonight, do you want to come and taste my cooking?"

"Of course it's a good thing."

In the evening, Klein cooked the food himself, while Will sat on the sofa outside chatting with Benson and Melissa.

Benson was quite talkative, and he chatted a lot with Will about Klein's past, and Melissa occasionally said a few words.

After dinner, Will got up and left.

At night, Klein lay on the bed and fell asleep, and the black night enveloped his dreams.

Deep in the dream, there is a huge black mountain range that is looming, and whispers come from the huge black mountain range.

"Honakis... Fregra..."

The murmur that he had not heard for a long time appeared in his dream again, and Klein suddenly became alert.

He carefully looked at the huge black mountains in the dream, and saw that on the periphery of the huge black mountains, there was a gray fog of history, and there seemed to be a figure roaring crazily in the fog.

He seemed to want to enter the black mountains, but was isolated and unable to do so.

Soon, the dream dissipated and Klein woke up.

For him, who is already a Sequence 2 Miracle Master, dreams are no longer simply nothingness, but a revelation of the current situation and the future.

The black mountain range is undoubtedly the Hornakis Mountains, and above the main peak is the Kingdom of Night, the territory of the goddess of the night.

The gray fog of history lingering outside should refer to Zaratul, who is trying to find a way to enter the Hornakis Mountains.

He wanted to go in and find the half-fool for the final fight.

Once successful, he will be the Sequence 0 Fool.

This is a revelation and the last chance given to him by the goddess of the night.

If he had always chosen to stay in Backlund and live a comfortable life, then the Goddess of the Night would have given Zaratul the opportunity to enter the Hornakis Mountains and help Zaratul make his final attempt.

"O fool."

Klein whispered, thinking of the Tarot Club he founded. The members of the Tarot Club believed in Mr. Fool so much. Do he really want to give up the position of Fool to Zaratul?
