Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 257 The War Rolls On
There are different opinions about who will win the battle between the two suns in the end, and no one seems to be able to say for sure.

At that time, the last surviving members of the Church of the Seven Gods who participated in it were silent about this matter. Some fishermen who happened to catch a glimpse of the battle between the two suns once murmured loudly that a sun had fallen into the depths of the sea, but was it the sun that came out first or came out later? The sun, they can not tell.

On the coast to the southeast of the Southern Continent, the sky was still unbearably hot, and from time to time, streams of fire would fall and crash into the ground that had been burnt to black charcoal.

Bernadette looked up at the sky, the sun was still dazzling, but now there were two little suns competing for its power and authority.

She was inexplicably shocked and grateful that she was able to watch a power struggle about the sun from afar.

Who is it that can make the God of Eternal Lieyang return without success.

Yes, there is no real winner in this battle between the two suns. One round of the sun fell into the bottom of the sea, but another round of the sun turned into a phantom and dissipated.

God's descent, after all, is just a god's descent, not Eternal Lieyang itself.

But fortunately, it wasn't a real battle of gods, otherwise she would not even be qualified to watch the battle, even if it was far away, she would not be able to bear that kind of power now.

From her point of view, the real winner of this battle is the Southern Continent.

Most of the elites of the Rose School of Thought and the Church of the Seven Gods who went to the island were reduced to ashes in the battle between the two suns, and not even a complete body remained.

The Church of the Seven Gods, which has lost most of its strength, has lost its corresponding control over the land of the Southern Continent. Coupled with the joint counterattack of East Balam and West Balam, it is only a matter of time before they are completely driven out of the Southern Continent.

"I should also leave here and return to the sea." Bernadette whispered.

This is not only the guidance from the stars, but also her inner desire.

Staying in the Southern Continent would only involve her in a senseless war.

Now there is a new uncrowned king in the sea, and he has recruited members of the major pirate groups everywhere, and his strength is constantly growing.

She should also return to the Dawn to take charge of the overall situation, lest her fleet be swallowed by the uncrowned king.

Just as she was about to leave, a figure came beside her.

This is a well-proportioned young man. He is wearing a white robe, with bare feet, and his blond hair is bound by a golden headband.

His smile was warm, and his eyes were like a round of sun brewing. Just looking at him, infinite warmth surged from the bottom of his heart.

A high-ranking figure in the Church of the Eternal Sun.

Bernadette didn't know this young man, but judging from the aura emanating from him, he was definitely at the archbishop level.

Bernadette said flatly: "People from the Church of the Eternal Sun, instead of busy cleaning up the mess, came here to look for me instead. What do you want to do?"

"I came to ask a question."

"I won't necessarily answer."

"Why do you know that the remnants of the Rose School of Thought are hidden on this isolated island?"

With a cold expression on Bernadette's face, she sneered and said, "Do you think I colluded with the Rose School of Thought to deliberately lure them into being fooled?"

"You misunderstood, I'm just interested in your source, there is a place where even the gods can't watch."

The young man's tone was calm, even though he was talking about the gods.

Bernadette did not answer this question directly, but asked curiously, "Who are you?"

"You can call me Ross Hurley."

"A name I've never heard of before, is this your real name?"

"You can also call me the Pope of the Eternal Sun Church."

"?!"

Bernadette did not hide her surprised expression, she had no idea that the Pope of the Eternal Sun Church would leave the Republic of Intis.

Although she hadn't returned to her home country for a long time, there were many eyes and ears staying in Intis, but no one noticed that the pope had actually walked out of that sacred hall and appeared here as a young man.

"I don't have any malice, I just want to know an exact answer, if you still remember that Intis is your home country."

Bernadette was silent for a long time, before finally looking up at the sky, almost muttering: "When you look up at the starry sky at night, what else can you see besides the crimson moon?"

Ross Hurley also looked up at the sky, as if it had turned from day to night.

"It's all under the watchful eye of the stars."

The disappointed tone made Bernadette clearly feel that the Pope was preoccupied.

"Bernadette, should I let you go?"

"Don't make a decision you regret."

"Oh, this world is too chaotic."

Ross Hurley sighed, put away all his worries, and said with a smile: "When do you plan to go back and have a look?"

"When it's time for me to go back."

"Just like when I was a child, rebellious as always."

Before Bernadette could react, Rose Hurley disappeared like a group of bubbles in the sun.

impossible!
The Pope of the Eternal Sun has only been on the throne for about 50 years. He should be younger than himself. How could he see himself when he was a child?

All the words just now did not have as much impact on her as the last sentence.

"It seems that I should really find a chance to go back and have a look. After all, I was too anxious to leave at the beginning, and there are still many things that have not been clarified."

Bernadette came to the seaside, tapped the sea surface with her fingertips, and a submarine appeared on the sea surface. This is her favorite sea navigation tool, the Nautilus.

……

Inside a luxurious manor, on the second floor, in a study.

Alfred Hall was writing furiously, writing a letter to send home.

"Dear sister, please forgive your second brother for not being able to return to Backlund to attend your coming-of-age ceremony, but I think, with your excellent character and perfect appearance, you will still be the most shining gem in Backlund."

"Missing an important day in your life is also a very painful thing for me. I wanted to rush back to Backlund several times a year ago, but the situation here is changing too fast, and I urgently need to stay and deal with everything business."

"I think with your wisdom and heart, you will definitely forgive your second brother who is suffering from war in the southern continent."

"Yes, the war broke out. Just today, most organizations in East Balam and West Balam have united against the members of the Church of the Seven Gods. In this war, their strength has the upper hand. I believe that the war in the southern continent is very serious. It will subside soon."

"But this does not mean that the war will end here. Driving the power of the Church of the Seven Gods out of the Southern Continent is only the first step in the flames of war."

"War is like a machine rolling forward. It will not stop until its energy is completely exhausted. Moreover, the damage suffered by the Southern Continent this time has completely angered the local ordinary people. , Only when the anger in their hearts can be extinguished can the war truly end."

"You don't need to worry about your second brother, he is fine and safe, but he cannot return to Backlund for the time being..."

After Alfred Hall finished writing the letter, he asked the butler to find a way to send the letter back to Backlund.

"I know it's difficult, but I think the current port should not be completely blocked. This is the last chance to send letters."

"Yes."

The butler personally brought two manor guards to the port.

As soon as I arrived at the port, I was stunned by the dense crowd in front of me.

Looking around, there is no end in sight.

The war had already begun, and many businessmen who came to the Southern Continent to do business with their families rushed to leave here at the beginning of the war to avoid being involved in the flames of war.

"Let's all go back, today's boat tickets are all sold out, and there is not even a standing ticket."

Although the person in charge of the port is loudly persuading and evacuating the crowd gathered here, it still has no effect.

Today's boat tickets are sold out, isn't there still tomorrow?

Many people choose to stay where they are, wanting to spend the day here and buy the ferry tickets early tomorrow.

"Fortunately, we have our own way."

The butler just looked at it for a while, then walked around to a two-story house. After some bargaining, he finally spent 50 gold pounds to send the letter back to Backlund.

According to the person in charge there, at this time, if you want to return to Backlund by boat, an ordinary boat ticket will cost at least 200 gold pounds, and you need to have a network to buy it.

If those people outside don't find other ways to work around, they will be stuck here for as long as the war lasts.

They all thought about leaving the Southern Continent when the war started, did the rulers who manage here really not think of this?

Two days before the war started, they had suspended some of the ferries, and at the same time sent personnel to guard the important ports, and they would never allow the wealth belonging to the southern continent to be brought back to the northern continent.

……

Pullen Harbour, South Wales.

In a fairly good hotel, in the VIP room on the second floor, Hastur took the mirror out of his arms and put it on the table.

"Miss Sharon, we have left the Black Emperor and arrived at a port in South Wales, you can come out now."

This period of time has been really hard for Sharon. In order not to be discovered by the king of the five seas, she has been hiding in the mirror.

Although he later became a distinguished guest on the Black Emperor, Sharon still had no idea of ​​coming out of the mirror, so Hastur could only keep the mirror close to his body.
