Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 430 The Aurora Society declares responsibility for the incident
This time, Sharon was not scared away by Hastur's deliberately teasing words. Instead, she raised her eyes slightly, stared at him, and said calmly: "Then what?"

Hasta was slightly startled. Sharon, who was trying to maintain her stubbornness, was really cute. She seemed to be expecting, but also entangled and timid.

Although she tried to pretend to be calm, the sea in her blue eyes was filled with spreading ripples.

"Sharon..."

Hasta shouted softly, and there was a bit of ambiguity in the air. Sharon, who had originally planned to hold on, took two steps back slightly, "I haven't decided what New Year gift I want."

After saying that, she pretended that nothing happened and left. As she left, Azshara shouted and jumped from the shadow position on the beam to Sharon's shoulder.

Hastur did not chase, but sat back in his seat, looking up at the stars, thinking about what kind of disturbance his secret action would bring tonight.

The process of assassinating Govington II is not complicated. Sequence 2 of a single extraordinary path may be a bit difficult, but for him who is in charge of several extraordinary paths and has corresponding authority, without the intervention of the three gods, It's basically not difficult.

Killing people through dreams was a combination of Hastur's own extraordinary abilities and the help of one of the sealed objects he obtained from the spiritual dragon, to complete the assassination at an ultra-long distance.

Except for William I, the ancestor of the Augustus family, who caused a little trouble for him, the others were pushed forward all the way.

Thinking back to the moment when Govington II's head was chopped off, I'm afraid he was still thinking that this was just a dream, and dreams are usually the opposite of what happens in the real world.

After entering Govington II's dream and successfully assassinating him, he also read part of Govington II's memory.

For example, the person who informed Govington II of the three prophecies was Zaratul, who was hiding in the dark. He has recently gone crazy again, and it was very serious. He probably saw things he shouldn't have seen. Of course, he is not excluded. It's pretend.

In addition to this, he also saw a little secret about the fall of George III. Unfortunately, Govington II only knew that there was a problem, but did not know where the problem actually occurred.

The only thing that concerned Hastur tonight was the indulgent attitude of the three gods towards him.

The three gods did not descend from the gods, but they vaguely knew what happened to Backlund, but they still sat back and allowed themselves to assassinate Govington II.

In addition to not wanting to antagonize the stars, it is probably also because Govington II has been making frequent moves recently to annoy them.

For the Goddess of Night, conquering the Feysac Empire is the most important thing. For the Lord of Storms, Govington II's attack on the old nobles is a slap in the face. The God of Steam and Machinery does not matter, but he The sense of existence has always been the weakest.

The territory of the Augustus family is still there, and the death of Govington II will not cause much panic. It can also effectively warn the people of the Augustus family to always maintain reverence for the gods.

In this case, it is normal for the three gods to make such a choice.

Hastur thought about various possibilities to prevent himself from missing any important tips.

……

Outside Puning Port, investigators from the Three Gods Church first received the news from Backlund.

"Govington II has fallen!"

"Tonight, just before the stroke of twelve!"

"The cause of death is unknown, and we don't even know who the murderer is!"

This bombshell news cast a shadow over the investigators who were celebrating the New Year. They had just received a New Year's expenses approved by Govington II.

"What the church means is for us to return to Backlund and take care of other things."

"So are we."

"It seems that the church should know the secret behind this matter."

The three heads of the Three Gods Church discussed it and decided to return to Backlund in two days. Before going back, they needed to meet with Count Hastur Campbell according to the church's arrangements, and then end this. A trip to South Wales.

January 1st is the day when all things come back to life in the new year.

Backlund is shrouded in a thick layer of haze, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

After all, the death of Govington II could not be hidden, but overnight, the news of Govington II's death occupied a large page in major newspapers.

With the newspaper leaking and adding fuel to the fire, this topic is being discussed in the streets of Backlund today.

In particular, the former King of Loen Kingdom was also assassinated, and the assassin has not been caught until now.

Now Govington II has followed in his father's footsteps and died.

This made many people feel unsafe. Even the king could be assassinated one after another without catching the assassin. Is the assassin too powerful or the guards too incompetent?

Can such a Loen royal family really lead the Loen Kingdom to prosperity?

Not long after, members of the Loen royal family came forward and defined the assassination as a conspiracy between the Feysac Empire and the Aurora Society.

While expressing deep sorrow, it also aroused people's disgust towards the Feysac Empire in order to prepare for the complete conquest of the Feysac Empire in the beginning of spring.

In this regard, the Church of the Three Gods stood together with the Loen royal family and threw all the blame on the Fusac Empire and the Aurora Society. Anyway, there were so many crimes on them, so there was no need to add one more.

Today, many members of the Loen royal family came to the secluded place of William I, headed by Grove Augustus. "I know your purpose of coming, but this matter is not something you can know." William I directly blocked the questions they wanted to ask, and said: "Let the eldest son of Govington II succeed to the throne, and you will assist him. , from now on, concentrate on conquering the Fusac Empire and do less on other things."

Grove paused after hearing the words, and said with a wry smile on his face: "Ancestor, do we, the Augustus family, have to swallow our anger?"

"The Augustus family..." William I read it twice, and then said with a cold face: "Have you ever seen any family that can remain prosperous forever?"

"This……"

Grove's heart trembled. Does this mean that the Augustus family is now on the decline?

"Go back, deal with the things that need to be done quickly, and avoid the things that shouldn't be done."

After saying this, William I closed his eyes and asked people to start seeing off the guests.

It was not until all the visitors had left that He sighed.

The reason why the Augustus family stood out in history and became the rulers of the Loen Kingdom was because the gods chose them.

Now, the gods' eyes have left them and focused on others.

No matter how unwilling he is, he still understands that as long as no one in the Augustus family becomes a god, then the Augustus family will always be a dispensable pawn in the hands of the gods.

Such things are not uncommon throughout history.

The only difference is that as long as He is not dead, the Augustus family will not be completely exterminated.

But if we want to maintain the glory of the past, it will probably be difficult.

On the afternoon of January 1, Klein held the first Tarot session of the new year.

When Miss Justice finished her first greeting of the new year, Mr. Fool read Russell's diary. Oh, no one turned in Russell's diary this week.

When entering the free exchange period, Alger the Hanged Man was the first to speak, and said in a serious tone: "Another big thing happened in Backlund recently. Govington II was about to cross the twelve o'clock mark last night. Stabbed to death."

"Yes, this matter has been spread throughout Backlund. Some people say that Govington II offended the gods, so he was punished by the gods." Emlyn also cooperated with Alger and added.

Audrey and Forsi were shocked. They invited Xio to go out on the street to enjoy the New Year's scenery in Southwell this morning.

Unexpectedly, Backlund would cause such a big incident without saying a word.

A king was assassinated by an assassin just before the New Year. For Govington II, this had to be said to be a kind of irony.

After he came to power, he has been committed to clearing out the influence of the old aristocracy. Unexpectedly, he himself became the trash that was swept away in the end.

Klein was also surprised, even though he spent the New Year just drinking alone in a coastal tavern.

Forsi asked: "Have you found out who assassinated Govington II?"

"According to the Loen royal family themselves, it was the Fusac Empire and the Aurora Society that did it, and members of the Aurora Society have already stepped forward to take over this matter and declared themselves responsible for it."

Alger shared the inside information he heard from within the Church of Storms.

Forsi sighed: "Aurora Society, it's them again, they even dare to assassinate the king."

"Perhaps it's not them, they just want the reputation generated by this incident. The worse the reputation, the more conducive it is for them to attract new members."

Alger said, looking at Miss Justice. He wanted to know if there were some different inside stories among the upper class of Loen.

Audrey pondered for a while, then faced Alger's expectant gaze and said, "If the king of Loen Kingdom was so easy to assassinate, Backlund would not have become a restricted area for extraordinary people."

Alger's eyes showed that this was indeed the case. In fact, Audrey simply did not believe that members of the Aurora Society would assassinate Govington II. In her heart, she believed that this should be a divine punishment, which was different from the previous incident of the Skyfire coming to the world. interconnected.

Govington II offended the gods, so he was assassinated in Backlund.

Otherwise, under the gaze of gods, even an angel would find it difficult to assassinate the king of a country.

"Maybe the stars did it again." Emlyn added silently.

Forsi wanted to refute him, don't blame Qunxing for everything!

What is it about Govington II that deserves the attention of the stars?
But she didn't speak, thinking about asking Mr. Hastur when she went back.

The handiwork of the stars?

Klein also thought about it for a while, and he also tended to think that this matter might have been done by the followers of Qunxing. There was no reason, it was just an intuition.

"A big thing happened at sea recently." The person who changed the subject was Shi Shijie.

Alger looked at him curiously. Is there anything bigger on the sea recently than the assassination of the King of Loen Kingdom?
Facing everyone's gaze, Shijie said expressionlessly: "There is another mysterious treasure legend in the sea. It is said that someone landed on an island that has not yet been discovered. There, that person saw a huge black mausoleum."
