Mystery: The Stars Returner

"The Curly Baboon Research Society, is your president the mysterious figure codenamed Gandalf?"

"No, we are just a small group in Trier, we just have the same name."

"Is it just right?" Forsi's eyes narrowed slightly and he said tentatively: "There are not many people who I can't see through directly, let alone you are still so young."

"Madam, in the world of occultism, appearance is usually deceptive, and everyone prefers their younger selves."

Forsi just smiled and nodded.

"I am a traveler who accompanied a friend here to find her companion. You don't need to mind my origin. I will not become your enemy."

Claude mentioned this and poured Forsi a cup of hand-ground coffee.

"Can I believe you? Just like this cup of coffee, if you don't taste it yourself, you can't know its specific taste, even if it smells very fragrant." Forsi picked up the coffee and pointed out.

"You can taste it. I'm still somewhat confident in my craftsmanship."

Forsi glanced at the steaming and fragrant coffee, chose to try it, and took a sip. It was only a small sip, and she froze in place.

"Sorry, I forgot to put milk and sugar in this cup of coffee. Of course, if you like the original flavor, it tastes just right. There is no more pure hand-ground coffee than this."

Forsi just looked at him deeply, said nothing, put down the coffee, then turned around and left gracefully.

After leaving the room, Forsi's mouth twitched slightly, and there was still a bitter taste on the tip of his tongue that was so bitter that he almost spit it out. This coffee was too strong.

Ahead, the door to the corner room opened, and Miss Frenk quietly poked her head out. Forsi's face instantly returned to normal, he smiled at her and nodded before returning to his room.

Forsi, who was alone, resisted the urge to open the door of travel and return to the Star Sea Kingdom to taste desserts. He drank several glasses of water to dilute the bitter taste on his tongue.

"I seemed to believe what he said, and I almost didn't even have basic defenses."

After coming back to her senses, Forsi began to think about her behavior of drinking coffee just now. Logically speaking, based on her years of adventure experience, she would not easily drink something handed over by a stranger, but just now, she had no idea of ​​​​rejecting it. .

Could he be the angel of the path of judgment?

Only a Sequence 2 or above Judgment Path Extraordinary can make her listen to the other party's words unconsciously.

Or do I have complete trust in him?

Forsi stared at the flickering candlelight and thought for a long time, then smiled, narrowed his eyes, and looked excited, as if he had found a correct answer.

She came to the window, opened it, looked at the rainstorm that was still raging, prayed devoutly to the stars again, and told what she had encountered tonight.

Then, she saw the starry sky covered by the dark night and heavy rain twinkling. The heavy rain began to subside, the dark clouds began to recede, and the bright and bright stars began to take over the starry sky tonight.

"Is this a revelation from the stars?" Forsi frowned, humming a little tune, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​returning to the Star Sea Kingdom recently.

Under the starry sky that replaced the torrential rain, Aurore, who had not yet fallen asleep, opened the window and sprinkled silver light dust. Her body floated up and flew to the roof, where she stood and looked up at the suddenly brilliant starry sky tonight.

There shouldn't be such a bright starry sky tonight, but as a believer in the stars, she could still vaguely notice it.

"Could it be that the stars have sent down divine revelations to tell me that all hardships and dangers are only temporary, that the heavy rain will eventually dissipate, and that the stars will shine on the earth forever?"

Aurore whispered, her expression became more pious, and after praising the stars, her eyes swept towards the Kolshe Village under the starlight.

Perhaps because of the starlight, she saw some key places that she had not discovered on ordinary days, especially the church belonging to the Eternal Sun Church in the village.

There seems to be an aura that does not belong to this world lingering there. Is that the source of all the recent strange events?

"Uh...uh..."

When Aurore wanted to see more clearly, she heard suppressed and unconscious sounds coming from Lumian's room.

He is dreaming again.

And he was still experiencing some kind of dangerous adventure in his dream.

Aurore sighed and felt that she should leave here early and go to Trier to find a suitable hypnotist to solve Lumian's dream problem.

……

The sun, which always arrived as scheduled, rose again from the opposite side of the mountain. The dazzling sunlight shone on Lumian's face, causing him to stretch and stand up.

"The harvest last night was not bad, but it was not enough. This power is not enough to protect Aurore. I need more powerful power."

"Those three outsiders should be trustworthy. If you want to solve the problems in the village, you must rely on their strength."

"It's a pity that the lady didn't want to help, otherwise the fate cycle problem in the village would have been easily solved."

Various thoughts swirled in Lumian's mind. He patted his face and went to wash and brush his teeth first.

Aurore got up early today, had already prepared breakfast, and then wanted to go out for the first time.

Lumian, who sat down on the dining chair and held a piece of white bread without any image, said in surprise: "Aurore, why do you want to go out today?"

"Eat the food in your mouth first before you speak."

"Okay, Aurore."

Lumian finished the piece of white bread in three mouthfuls, poured another glass of milk, stood up and wiped the remaining crumbs from the corner of his mouth with a paper towel, and said with a smile: "Aurore, I've finished eating, you can tell me now. ?Don’t you always like to go out?”

"The starry sky last night gave me a little inspiration."

"so what?"

"I'm going to go to church."

Lumian said anxiously: "I want to go with you too. That bastard has been trying to trick you. I'm worried!"

Aurore thought for a while and agreed to let Lumian accompany him, so that if anything happened, they would be able to take care of each other.

As soon as he went out, Lumian met his friend Raymond. After saying hello, Raymond told him that two foreigners came to the village yesterday, a man and a woman. They looked like they were from big cities. Come.

Raymond also showed off a shiny golden Ferkin, which was a reward for asking for directions yesterday.

If it were normal times, Lumian might have used his eloquence to get Raymond to treat him to a tavern for a big drink, but today he really had no such interest. Now he only cared about why Aurore wanted to go to church.

Obviously in the previous cycle of fate, Aurore did not take the initiative to go to the church.

There are also two new outsiders, which is also a new change.

Could it be that the arrival of foreigners caused Aurore's behavior to deviate from its original track?

Lumian was determined to explore the origins of the two foreigners. But Aurore was already walking towards the church, so he could only ask Raymond to help him find out the details of the two strangers, and he quickly caught up with Aurore.

When Raymond came to the old tavern, he happened to bump into a man and a woman from yesterday walking towards the church. There was also a mysterious lady from the big city that Lumian said was beside him.

He thought about it for a while, but chose to follow quickly, wanting to pretend to have met by chance, and then provide some help to the two strangers in order to get another Firkin.

"Are you going to the local church?" Raymond said with a familiar look on his face: "I just have time and can show you the way."

"That would be troublesome."

Miss Frank smiled and nodded. Claude ended the pathfinding and divination just now. Forsi had a smile on her lips and watched Claude's every move with interest.

On the way to the church, in order to reflect his own value, Raymond explained everything about the church and the priest clearly, and also mentioned many people's views on the church and the priest.

This is what Lumian taught him. If you want to make money, you must first reflect your own value.

Soon after, the stained glass of the church shone in the sunlight, as if shrouded in glory and full of sacred colors.

"Thank you for your guidance and introduction."

Miss Frenk thanked her politely, and then paid him another ferkin as a reward under Raymond's eager eyes. Raymond left with a happy grin.

"Mr. Claude, can you really meet my good friend here?"

"The results of divination will not lie." Claude smiled and added in his mind that divination will not lie, but deviations and errors will occasionally occur.

Fortunately, my divination doesn't work.
