Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 71 The Oracle of the Mother Tree of Desire

The sea, the Dawn.

In the captain's cabin, the lamp god avatar was sent back to the wishing lamp by the chain of order.

Bernadette just watched all this quietly, she couldn't stop it from happening, she could only calm herself down.

The phantom of the lamp god emerged from the wishing lamp, looked at Bernadette and said, "Tonight, I met a familiar existence there, the Mother Tree of Desire."

"?!"

Bernadette looked dignified and full of vigilance.

"Don't be so nervous, he is still trapped outside the starry sky, unable to enter this world."

"Why can He appear there?"

"The power of the lord of the stars has increased again. Tonight, in front of me, he will lead the Mother Tree of Desire across time and space."

Speaking of this, the lamp god said with emotion: "In the hall of stars, the outer gods gather together. How incredible and shocking it is."

Bernadette was also shocked by the phrase "The Hall of Stars, the Gathering of Outer Gods".

According to the lamp god, the ruler of the stars is constantly recovering his power. Once the power is fully recovered, won't he be able to attract all the outer gods in the entire universe?
Can't think any more!
Bernadette cut off her thoughts about this in time, and didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

Otherwise, she is afraid that she will be polluted by the knowledge and mysteries contained here. It is related to the secrets of the gods outside the entire universe, and it is not something she can spy on now.

The lamp god also understands this truth, and he doesn't want to let Bernadette have an accident now, after all, this is his favored one.

"I heard a message from the Mother Tree of Desire. Recently, He will hold a divine descent ceremony in West Balam."

He didn't say bluntly that this was a bet between himself and the Mother Tree of Desire, otherwise Bernadette might not help him.

"God descending ceremony?"

"That's right, the Mother Tree of Desire has reached an agreement with the ruler of the stars, and is going to make an attempt. If you don't want His power to interfere in the real world to increase again, you should inform the Church of the Seven Gods of this news and ask them to come forward to stop it."

Seeing that Bernadette did not immediately agree, the lamp god said again: "I am not lying about the fact that he is going to perform the divine descent. If you don't stop it, West Balam will be completely ruled by his power."

"Why did you choose to sell the Mother Tree of Desire?"

"As you said before, I have a normal relationship with the group of foreign gods outside the starry sky."

"Such reasons are not enough to convince me."

"Hehe, I just don't want the power of the Mother Tree of Desire to destroy the balance too early, so that the stable situation can be maintained until the end of the day. That's what I want."

Finally, the lamp god reminded again, "Go and find the believers of the stars as soon as possible, otherwise your world will not be able to support the prophesied doomsday, and he will be the biggest variable."

The phantom of the lamp god merged into the wishing lamp, and Bernadette stayed in the cabin thinking alone.

Judging from her many years of experience with the lamp god, he did not lie about the fact that the mother tree of desire was about to descend from the god.

Even if there are lies, the people of the Church of the Seven Gods are busy in the end, and she will not go to West Balam to join in the fun.

"Ugh……"

Recently, there are too many things to worry about, and she has been unable to sleep soundly. She misses Backlund's food a little bit.

After a long time, Bernadette wrote the letter, summoned her messenger, and revealed the news to the Church of the Seven Gods.

After confirming the authenticity of this incident, she will inform the Church of the Seven Gods of the existence of the Lord of the Stars, and let them go to find the believers of the stars instead of her.

……

Rose School Headquarters.

Under the dim moonlight, a hill was hidden in the cover of the woods.

In the depths of the dense forest, a huge black tree rises from the ground, under the canopy that can block the light of the sun and the moon, countless vines and branches are entwined, and human face fruits are hung on the branches. Swaying slightly.

At the main tree trunk, a figure whose facial features could not be seen clearly stretched out his arms to hug the tree trunk, letting hundreds of them.The dark green branches wrap themselves to sleep.

At the root of the tree, a group of people gathered nearby, forming a circle around the big black tree, their eyes full of madness and worship.

The leader among them was a middle-aged man with light yellow curly hair, sunken eye sockets, and a bony face.

The brown eyes were full of uncontrollable malice and madness, and the thicker lips were covered with finely patterned golden nails, which sealed the entire mouth, giving people a strange and terrifying feeling.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, revealing the crimson moon.

The madness and shouting of the crowd reached its highest point.

At this time, wisps of black light emerged from the big tree, startling the fruit of the human face with closed eyes.

One after another, finally all the face fruits were awakened, and the whole tree began to tremble, making a dull and dry sound that resounded through the entire hill.

"West Balam, hold a divine descent."

"Go to find the apostles of the stars!"

"Watch the power of the stars!"

Three voices sounded, and the pious believers had already prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling with excitement.

Their god, their only lord, sent down an oracle again!

After a while, the voice of the oracle dissipated, and the thick black light melted away. The fruit of the human face closed his eyes again, and everything returned to calm.

The figure that had been embracing the big tree all this time retreated one branch after another. He stood in the air with his back to the believers below, and his whole body was filled with a gloomy and evil aura.

His back was covered with black viscous liquid, and strange shapes protruded from his arms and shoulders, as if something could grow from those protrusions.

"Mahamus, you are going to be in charge of the God's Descend."

"Others, send a message to let all members go all out to find the apostles of the stars!"

After the two orders were issued, the middle-aged man called Maihamus respectfully led the believers out of here.

"The power of the stars... Mother, are you afraid of this power?"

With a murmur, a bloodshot, black and white eyeball fell from his body and rolled onto the ground, followed by the second eyeball, and the third...

In the end, hundreds of eyeballs covered the ground below, and the black light began to flicker together, as if searching for something.

After a while, His body trembled slightly, and he bowed his body. The eyeballs were bleeding, and then collapsed, turning into sticky and fuzzy lumps of flesh and blood.

"Huh, huh... an existence that cannot be explored, a starry sky that blocks all prying eyes..."

He trembled loudly, and blood dripped from the corners of his eyes, and it took a long time before his body gradually regained its composure.

On the ground, the lumps of meat that had exploded their eyeballs turned into bloody maggots, crawled along the tree trunk to his body, and reintegrated with his body.

……

Backlund.

Another new day.

Hastur got up from the bed, stretched his muscles and bones, walked to the window, opened the window, and admired Backlund, which was not yet shrouded in gray fog.

The matter of the workhouse has been completely resolved. Apart from Mr. A and the Extraordinary of the Path of Destiny hidden in the dark, he is currently in no other danger.

Regarding the Extraordinary people on the path of fate, he had an idea in his mind, as long as he didn't look for the golden box that Voltaire hid, he should not touch the joint of fate.

This is a guess based on his understanding of fate, and the correct rate should be quite high.

Since he was born, he has always had a vague feeling, so he has never been to the third floor of this house since he lived there.

It should be his spirituality that has been reminding him that once he goes to the third floor, it is easy to encounter bad things.

Now he understood a little bit, the golden box related to fate must be hidden on the third floor, as long as he went up to the third floor to look for it, he would definitely find it.

And this will attract the Path of Destiny Extraordinary lurking in the dark.

Therefore, before he became stronger, he would not go to the third floor to look for the so-called golden box.

Now, only the crazy Mr. A is the most unpredictable, and he is really a little afraid of this Mr. A.

Who knows what surprise gift he will give himself again.

The head of Bard sent last time attracted the attention of the Nighthawks, making him need to act to pass the nightmare test.

"Hey, now I kind of understand why the members of the Aurora Society are basically lunatics."

As long as it is normal, it is difficult to predict what a group of madmen are going to do, and it is even more difficult to catch them.

Twenty minutes later, Hastur closed the window, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then went downstairs to eat.

After dinner, Butler Neil came to report on the situation of the ancestral property.

The manor that the Campbell family started is not too big, and it is only because of its special meaning that the Campbell family will continue to pass it on.

Today, the ancestral manor is still planting flowers, including roses, tulips, Phalaenopsis, and asters.

Its normal annual income is between 3000 and 4000 gold pounds, which is not as good as the only large plantation left by the old housekeeper.

That big plantation can earn more than 4000 gold pounds in half a year. Without accidents, the annual income is more than 10000 gold pounds.

This is Hastur's biggest source of income.

After Hastur listened silently, he asked Neil to take care of these matters.

The annual increase of 4000 gold pounds, plus the income from the large plantation and the salary of his own legal counsel at the Bavat Bank, add up to almost 15000 gold pounds a year.

Although this is not as good as the wealthy nobles, it is far superior to ordinary people, enough to live a very rich and luxurious life.

It looks like a lot, but if you compare Miss Audrey, the gap will come out.

Even if he doesn't eat or drink, and saves 15000 gold pounds a year, it will take at least 20 years to catch up with Audrey's wealth.

The gap is too big.

Hastur sighed, no longer thinking about these easily sad things.

Thinking that he had made a lot of money recently, he felt happy again. With a big wave of his hand, he asked Butler Neil to take out 100 gold pounds and give a bonus to all the servants who worked according to their positions.

At the same time, Steward Neil was asked to prepare 2200 gold pounds, which he would personally return to Viscount Glaint.

The extra 200 gold pounds is considered interest.

It has been almost three months since he was born, and the interest rate of [-]% for three months is considered very high.

After finishing these matters, Hastur was ready to go out.

Walking to the door, he suddenly thought of the aster flower.

If he remembers correctly, the manor left in the suburbs is called Aster Manor, right?
