Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 207 Who Saved Audrey?
The darkness dissipated, and the first light of dawn streaked across the distant sky, dyed the forest, along the window, through the curtains, and fell on the beautiful face of a young girl on the bed.

The girl frowned slightly, perhaps because the glare of the sun disturbed her lucid dream, she pouted her mouth in dissatisfaction, but it seemed that it was not elegant, she retracted the corners of her mouth, and her eyelids trembled slightly.

After a while, she finally woke up, and the first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to cover her eyes from the sun with the back of her right hand.

"Audrey, my baby girl, you finally woke up!"

Earl Hall spoke happily, his voice was not as calm as usual, but trembling slightly.

Audrey smiled, looked at the nervous and excited Earl Hall, and said with a smile: "I just had a rather interesting dream."

"It's good that you're fine. If something happens to you, I don't even know how to explain it to your mother."

Seeing that Audrey had regained consciousness, looking and talking as usual, Earl Hall was truly relieved.

After chatting with Earl Hall for a few more words, Audrey felt very hungry and almost made an indecent grunt.

She blinked slightly and said, "Dear Earl Hall, I need to solve a very important problem."

"what is the problem?"

Earl Hall couldn't understand the implication, so the personal maid came to Earl Hall and whispered a few words before he left with a smile.

Then Earl Hall left the room, and the personal maid immediately sent for suitable food and nourishment.

In the hall on the first floor of the manor, Earl Hall cordially held the hand of the Archbishop of the Church of Evernight, Anthony Stevenson, "Thanks to the archbishop for helping me this time, otherwise my daughter Audrey is still sleeping."

"This is the blessing of the goddess."

Anthony Stevenson smiled and kept his words decent.

"Yes, everything is blessed by the goddess."

Earl Hall suppressed the excitement in his heart and restrained his gratitude.

Yesterday, he sent two consecutive waves of people to seek help from the Church of the Goddess. He did not expect Archbishop Anthony Stevenson, who is the head of the entire Backlund Diocese, to come in person.

And overnight, he gave Audrey the blessing of escaping from the nightmare. Sure enough, his precious daughter Audrey successfully woke up early this morning.

This deepened his belief in the goddess.

After a while, Audrey came down from upstairs, walking lightly, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Where's Susie? How come I haven't seen it?"

Audrey originally wanted to ask Earl Hall about Mr. Hastur, but she heard the personal maid mention that Earl Hall was very dissatisfied with Mr. Hastur for bringing him such an innocent disaster.

She didn't mention Mr. Hasta, but only indirectly asked about Mr. Hasta's situation through Susie's whereabouts.

"Susie was taken away by that Baron Hastur Campbell, who said he was going to the forest to help you recover."

Earl Hall's tone clearly revealed dissatisfaction.

Before Audrey could continue to ask, Earl Hall introduced Archbishop Anthony to her, saying that it was because of this powerful archbishop's action last night that she regained consciousness in the early morning of this morning.

Regarding this, Audrey maintained a skeptical attitude. If her memory was correct, it was because of Mr. Hasta and Susie that she was able to escape from that foggy dream last night.

But at the moment, it is impossible for her to express her doubts about Archbishop Anthony, so she can only sincerely thank her.

After a few more pleasantries, Archbishop Anthony said with a smile: "All of this is the blessing of the goddess."

"Yes."

Audrey nodded in agreement, but her mind flashed through the misty dream, and the light of the stars she saw when she climbed to the top of the tower.

Well, the moon symbolized by the goddess, and the stars revolving around the moon, should be equivalent to the blessing of the goddess, right?
She was just a little uncertain, not doubting her belief in the goddess.

In the matter of believing in the goddess, she has always been devout.

After a while, Hastur and Susie arrived late at the door.

Looking at the clean and tidy Hastur, Earl Hall's face was slightly gloomy, but he didn't say anything, just nodded symbolically.

"Wang!"

As soon as Susie saw Audrey's figure, she ran over and circled around Audrey many times, whimpering happily.

"Susie."

There are many guests here, Audrey didn't squat down, but just bent slightly to stroke Susie's head.

She was also very excited at the moment, in that misty dream, but Susie led Mr. Hasta to rescue herself, and successfully guided herself to the silver-white tower.

Regardless of whether it was guided by my subconscious mind, or Susie and Hastur really helped me in my efforts last night, I still need to thank them for their help.

"Sit down. This is Archbishop Anthony who is in charge of St. Samuel's Cathedral. It was he who brought the blessing of the goddess and saved Audrey."

Earl Hall still gave Hastur a brief introduction.

It was only when he saw that the clothes on Hasta were not the same as yesterday, he calmed down his anger a little bit.

This proves that Hasta and Susie were indeed working hard to save Audrey last night, and they arrived late today, so they should have returned to the manor to freshen up before coming here.

"..."

Hastur's expression was a bit complicated, but he still smiled and said, "Thank you, Archbishop Anthony, for helping to solve Miss Audrey's problem. This is also to make up for my fault of not taking care of Miss Audrey."

"Everything is blessed by the goddess, and He always shows mercy to every devout believer."

Archbishop Anthony didn't take any credit at all, he just gave all the credit to the blessing of the goddess.

Because when he came to treat Audrey last night, he only realized that Audrey's insomnia should be related to abnormalities in the spiritual world, and he just made a correct prayer and blessing.

As for Audrey's ability to regain her sobriety today, the only explanation that can be explained is the blessing of the goddess.

"You are Voltaire's son. That's great. You are indeed a bit like Voltaire when he was young. Of course, in terms of appearance, Voltaire still loses to you."

After chatting for a while, Archbishop Anthony also took the initiative to mention things about Voltaire.

This surprised both Hastur and Earl Hall. An archbishop guarding the entire St. Samuel Church still remembered Voltaire who had been dead for many years.

And from the tone of voice, they seem to be very familiar with each other.

"This is the greatest wealth left to me by my parents." Hastur responded with a smile.

Archbishop Anthony nodded without saying anything, chatted with Earl Hall for a while, and then he got up and left.

Earl Hall glanced at Hasta and then at Audrey, and asked Audrey to take Susie upstairs first.

Other idlers were also screened away, leaving only him and Hastur sitting face to face.

"Tell me about what you found out with Susie last night."

"Last night, Susie and I went to the area where Miss Audrey encountered the mist before. After some exploration, we did find something unusual."

"What's abnormal?"

"There seems to have been a tower there once."

Hastur just introduced a few words briefly, and did not expand this issue in depth, nor did he mention the issues related to the mind dragon.

"That's it?" Earl Hall said displeased.

"Well, I think this may have something to do with what happened to Miss Audrey."

"Just a tower, and it doesn't exist anymore?"

"Yes, it should have been weathered and decayed over the years."

Earl Hall was silent for a while, staring at Hasta and asked, "Do you think it was you who helped Audrey wake up or Archbishop Anthony?"

"This question should only be answered by Miss Audrey."

"It seems that you think you and Susie saved Audrey?"

"..."

This question is really difficult for Hasta to answer, and he dare not say that it is entirely due to himself and Susie, but at least half of the credit can be accounted for, right?
At the last moment, it was he who used the power of the Hall of Stars to help Audrey escape from that spiritual world.

Earl Hall's gloomy face eased a lot, and he looked at Hasta with more satisfaction, "When will you return to the manor?"

"When the sun first shines on the earth."

Earl Hall nodded, "No matter who saved Audrey, the only one I can tell the public is Archbishop Anthony."

Hastur only thought for a moment before he understood the meaning of Earl Hall's words.

Many people must know that Earl Hall asked Archbishop Anthony to move him. This credit must belong to Archbishop Anthony and the blessing of the Evernight Goddess.

Second, it also means protecting your privacy a little bit.

Through what happened last night, Earl Hall must know that he is a little different, otherwise how dare he take the credit with Archbishop Anthony.

"I see."

"You are still young, and there are still many opportunities to perform in your turn in the future."

Earl Hall is very satisfied with Hastur's attitude. Only those who know how to restrain their edge can go further if they don't show off their mountains.

Upstairs, Audrey finally got the chance to be alone with Susie.

There was no outsider present, and Susie, who had already held back her words, couldn't help but said, "Audrey, I'm really worried about your safety!"

"I understand, Susie."

Audrey squatted down, hugged Susie's neck, stroked its head, and asked after a while: "Susie, did you and Mr. Hastur rescue me last night?"
