Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 86 Gift: War Emblem and Golden Box
late at night.

The Tussock River trickled through in the dark, and Sharon came to the bank again.

She looked at the calm river with a calm expression, not knowing what she was thinking about.

After waiting for a few minutes, a pea vine fell from the sky. Sharon stretched out his hand, and the whole person came above the clouds.

It's still the same person, the Queen of Mysteries. Her dress tonight is much more conservative than before. She is not so personal, and there is majesty in her elegance. She looks more like a high-ranking princess for a long time.

With just a simple glance, Sharron knew that the Queen of Mysteries was in a bad mood tonight.

If she was in a good mood, she wouldn't do this look.

"Little Sharon, your dress is not bad, but don't you like black clothes?"

Bernadette smiled and looked at Sharon in front of her. She still wore the small black hat, and the gothic court dress was a little more lively than before.

Sharon didn't answer this question, but said indifferently: "Is the indulgent faction targeting you this time?"

"Well, that evil has also come."

Bernadette put away the smile on her face, and being targeted by a Sequence 1 god, her situation was much more difficult than before.

Fortunately, this is Backlund, that godly abomination was afraid of triggering a divine drop and dared not enter rashly, otherwise she would probably have to pay a heavy price to escape from him.

Sharon's expression moved slightly, "What did you do?"

"Just revealed to the Church of Storms that they were going to hold the divine descent ceremony in West Balam, which led to the failure of their divine descent ceremony."

When Bernadette said this, she paused slightly, and said in a deep voice: "But it's not enough to make that evil eye on me, and he still lingers outside Backlund and refuses to leave."

"He obeys only the oracle."

"Have you known this god?"

"I don't know, my teacher knows better, but she didn't tell me, she didn't want me to be polluted."

"The right choice."

Bernadette didn't continue talking about this topic, not even mentioning the temperance card.

She knew that Sharon's group needed that temperance card very much, but it was a trap of the Mother Tree of Desire, and even she dared not go there, let alone Sharon and the others.

"Don't worry about my situation. I'll just take a vacation in Backlund. The food here is very good, much better than at sea."

Sharon looked at her and said calmly, "I've never been worried about your situation. What I'm worried about is that the indulgence faction will stay in Backlund forever."

Bernadette laughed, "Then I can't help it."

"The disaster was caused by you."

"Little Sharon, it's too heartless for you to say that."

"You need to compensate me for my loss."

"So you came to me with something, so tell me."

Sharon was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "I need a crying baby flower."

Bernadette took two steps closer, and the corner of her mouth slightly raised: "I remember that this Extraordinary material is used to prepare the Black Emperor Path Sequence 7 Briber potion."

"Ah."

"Why do you need this thing?"

"I owe a favor and I have to pay it back."

Bernadette just glanced at Sharron, didn't delve into it further, stretched out her hand, and a wooden brocade box emerged from the void.

"Take it, this box contains what you need."

"Thank you."

Sharon was not polite either, she put away the brocade box directly, and then turned to leave.

"Little Sharon, it's really sad that you came to me at night for someone else."

Sharon stopped in her tracks and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"No."

"..."

Sharon froze for a moment, and left without looking back.

Bernadette watched Sharon go away, looked at the stars above her head, and whispered: "The stars, are they really watching everything?"

She is now certain that the series of pursuits by the Rose School of thought must have something to do with the lamp god.

The source of the change of the lamp god comes from the stars above the head, that mysterious meeting.

The previous meeting of the Outer Gods made people's scalp tingle.

She didn't dare to think deeply, but she was a little more afraid of the stars.

Fear the starry sky, be careful of the moon, and also need to be wary of the stars.

Bernadette sighed, no longer thinking about these troublesome things, but thinking about which restaurant it would be better to enjoy delicious food tomorrow.

……

Headache.

Feeling dizzy, even my thoughts are about to float.

Hastur woke up, covered his head, and lay on the bed for half an hour before gradually regaining consciousness.

Last night, Greck and Hibbert seemed to have made an agreement, and let him drink a lot of wine. Fortunately, there was a Grelint beside him for a while.

Coupled with his savage physique, he was able to stay sober during the drinking battle last night without getting drunk.

Greint couldn't do it, he was finally helped upstairs by two servants.

Greg and Hibbert were still in the same state, almost half drunk, and went home to rest in the carriage respectively.

According to their words, they have to get up early today to deal with business.

"Oh, I still need to practice my drinking capacity."

Hastur sighed. In the circle of nobles, entertainment is a normal thing, and drinking is even more common.

In order not to make a fool of himself by being drunk in the future, he felt that he had to increase his drinking capacity.

After resting for a while, Hastur got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

The caring butler Neil has already prepared sweet soup for sobering up and food suitable for drunkenness.

Hastur enjoyed the food for a while and asked, "Where is Grelint?"

"Still resting in the guest room upstairs."

"I thought he had already gone back. It seems that he can't drink too much."

Hastur smiled, and then thought of a good way to prevent drunkenness.

Grelint is now a pharmacist, so it shouldn't be difficult to develop an anti-drunk medicine, right?
Just taking advantage of his drunkenness this time, he was persuaded to concentrate on research.

Seeing that Hastur had almost recovered after eating, Butler Neil came to report the situation of receiving gifts last night.

Yesterday was the day when he moved to a new house, and those who attended the dinner party would basically send a gift.

Every gift needs to be jotted down so that the next time someone moves into a new home, a gift of similar value can be given.

Hastur closed his eyes and listened silently.

Among the gifts sent last night, the gift from Greg was the most expensive. It should be that he knew that his family background was shallow, so he specially sent ten antiques so that he could act as a front for the time being.

According to Butler Neil's estimate, the total value is at least 5000 pounds.

This is a great gift.

Gifts from other people are normal, and they are all within the normal category.

The same is true for Hibbert and Audrey. The value of the gift they sent was about 100 gold pounds. This is a normal gift for human relations.

Professor Wayne gave him some good things, three rare ancient books, even the library of Backlund University did not have them, they were considered orphans.

To Hasta's surprise, besides those who attended the banquet last night, he also received three extra gifts.

One was from Mrs. Yugmany. If he hadn't heard Butler Neil mention it suddenly, he would have almost forgotten about this person, even though she left a deep impression on him.

The other two gifts were not signed, and even Butler Neil couldn't tell who sent the gift, as if it appeared in the pile of gifts out of thin air.

Normally, there will be a dedicated person to record these gift lists.

Butler Ke Neil asked the person in charge of this matter last night, and he insisted that he did not receive an unsigned gift last night.

Hastur asked Butler Neil to take the two gifts upstairs to the study room, and he wanted to open them himself and take a peek.

He reckoned that one of the gifts might be from Mr. A,
As for who gave the other gift, he had no idea for a moment.

I went upstairs and came to the study room. After waiting for a while, someone brought the two gifts.

Gifts, big and small.

The small gift was wrapped in a small light gray box, somewhat similar to a box for a ring.

Hastur first glanced around with his spiritual vision, frowning slightly.

After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice, "The recovery of Extraordinary items is prohibited here!"

After formulating the rules, he opened the box and took a look.

Inside the small box lay a coat of arms painted in gold and silver, with sword blades, bows and arrows engraved on the front of the coat of arms.

His spiritual vision had already told him that this was an Extraordinary item.

At this moment, the surface of the coat of arms is covered with a layer of spiritual seal, and it is also bound with silver thread to form a cross star shape. As long as the silver thread seal is not damaged, this is an ordinary coat of arms.

Hastur reached out and turned the coat of arms over. The back was black and iron-colored as a whole, but in some places, it was slightly stained with blood.

Put it in the palm of your hand and weigh it lightly. It is very heavy, as if it was polished from a whole piece of pure iron.

"The breath of war..."

Hastur turned the coat of arms back to the front again, and touched the carvings of the blade and bow with his fingers. There seemed to be a war in it.

"Even if Mr. A gave a gift, he would not send such a gift."

"Who actually sent this gift?"

"He should be kind."

Although Hastur couldn't figure out the specific information of this extraordinary item, he could feel that it was more extraordinary than the regular bell he obtained some time ago.

After thinking for a while, Hastur put the coat of arms into the box and put it away, and then brought another gift.

This gift is a long iron box, about [-] centimeters long, about five centimeters wide and about five centimeters high.

Hastur unpacked the outer package, and the golden light shone slightly. After it was completely disassembled, there was a golden box hidden inside the long iron box!
The whole body of the golden box does not have any openings, it is one piece, as if forged from a whole piece of gold, and it is shining with strands of golden light.

If you look closely, it looks more like a rectangular golden coffin!
Hey!
Hastur quickly withdrew his hand and stood up with a guarded face and a heavy heart.

Could this ghost thing be the golden box that the group of Extraordinary Path of Destiny seek?
