Chapter 71 Oracle of the Mother Tree of Desire
Sea, Dawn.
In the captain's cabin, the genie's clone 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, so she could only calm herself down.
The genie's phantom appeared from the wishing lamp, looked at Bernadette and said, "Tonight, I met a familiar existence there, the Mother Tree of Desire."
"?!"
Bernadette looked solemn and alert.
"Don't be so nervous, He is still trapped outside the starry sky and can't enter this world."
"Why can He appear there too?"
"The power of the master of the stars has increased again. Tonight, He crossed the distant time and space in front of me and led the Mother Tree of Desire."
At this point, the genie sighed: "The Hall of Stars, the Outer Gods gather, how incredible and shocking this is."
Bernadette was also shocked by the words "The Hall of Stars, the Outer Gods gather".
According to the genie, the master of the stars is constantly recovering his strength. Once the power is fully restored, can't he lead all the Outer Gods in the entire universe?
Don't think about it anymore!
Bernadette stopped thinking about it in time and didn't dare to think about it any further.
Otherwise, she was afraid that she would be contaminated by the knowledge and mystery contained here. It was about the secrets of the gods outside the entire universe, which she couldn't spy on now.
The lamp god also understood this truth. He didn't want Bernadette to get into trouble now. After all, she was his follower.
"I got a message from the Mother Tree of Desire. Recently, He will hold a God's descent ceremony in West Balam."
He didn't say directly that this was a bet between him and the Mother Tree of Desire, otherwise Bernadette might not help him.
"God's Descent Ceremony?"
"Yes, the Mother Tree of Desire has reached an agreement with the Lord of the Stars and is preparing to make an attempt. If you don't want His power to interfere with the real world to increase again, inform the Seven Gods Church of this news and let them stop it."
Seeing that Bernadette did not agree immediately, the Lamp God said again: "I did not lie about His coming to God. If it is not stopped, Xibalam will be completely ruled by His power."
"Why did you choose to betray the Mother Tree of Desire?"
"As you said before, I have an average 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. Let the stable situation be maintained until the end of the world, which is what I want."
Finally, the Lamp God reminded again, "Go find the believers of the stars as soon as possible, otherwise your world will not be able to support the predicted doomsday, and He will be the biggest variable."
The shadow of the Lamp God merged into the wishing lamp, and Bernadette was left alone in the cabin to think.
Based on her many years of experience with the lamp god, He did not lie about the Mother Tree of Desire wanting God to descend.
Even if there was a lie, it was the people of the Seven Gods Church who were busy in the end, and she would not go to West Balam to join in the fun.
"Ah..."
Recently, there were too many troubles, and she had been sleeping restlessly, so she missed Backlund's food a little.
After a long time, Bernadette wrote a letter, summoned her messenger, and revealed the news to the people of the Seven Gods Church.
After confirming the truth of this God's descent, she would inform the Seven Gods Church of the existence of the Lord of the Stars and let them go to find the believers of the stars on her behalf.
...
The headquarters of the Rose School.
Under the dim moon, a small hill was hidden in the cover of the woods.
Deep in the dense forest, a huge black tree rose from the ground. Under the canopy that was enough to block the light of the sun and the moon, countless vines and branches were entangled, and human-faced fruits were hung on the branches, closing their eyes and swaying gently with the breeze.
At the main trunk, a figure whose facial features could not be seen clearly stretched out his arms to hug the trunk, letting himself fall asleep with hundreds of dark green branches wrapped around him.
At the root of the tree, a group of people gathered nearby, forming a circle around the black tree, their eyes full of madness and admiration.
The leader was a middle-aged man with light yellow curly hair, obvious sunken eye sockets, and a thin face.
There was uncontrollable malice and madness in his brown eyes, and there were golden nails covered with fine patterns on his thick lips, sealing his entire mouth, giving people a feeling of both evil and horror.
The black clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, revealing a touch of crimson moon.
The madness and shouting of the crowd reached the highest point.
At this time, wisps of black light emerged from the tree, startling the human-faced fruits that had closed their eyes.
One by one, finally all the human-faced fruits were awakened, and the whole tree began to tremble, making a dull and dry sound that resounded throughout the hill.
"West Balam, hold a divine descent."
"Go find the Apostles of the Stars!"
"Pay attention to the power of the stars!"
Three voices rang out, and the devout believers had already prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling with excitement.
Their God, their only Lord, once again sent down an oracle!
After a while, the oracle's voice dissipated, and the thick black light also dissipated. The human-faced fruit closed its eyes again, and everything returned to calm again.
The figure who had been hugging the tree, the branches around him retreated one by one, and he, floating in the air, with his back to the believers below, was filled with a gloomy and evil aura.
His back was covered with black viscous liquid, and strange shapes bulged out from his arms and shoulders, as if something could grow out of those bulges.
"Mahamus, you go and take charge of the matter of God's descent."
"Others, send a message and let all members do their best to find the Apostles of the Stars!"
After the two orders were issued, the middle-aged man called Mahamus respectfully led the believers away from 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 to the ground, followed by the second eyeball, the third...
Finally, hundreds of eyeballs covered the ground below, and the black light began to flicker, as if they were looking for something.
After a while, his body trembled slightly, and he bent down, and blood flowed out of his eyeballs, and then broke into pieces, turning into a mass of sticky and blurred flesh and blood.
"Hu, hu... an existence that cannot be explored, a starry sky that blocks all prying eyes..."
He trembled, and blood flowed from the corners of his eyes. After a long time, his body gradually calmed down.
On the ground, the clumps of flesh with burst eyeballs turned into bloody maggots, crawled along the tree trunk, climbed onto his body, and merged with his body again.
...
Backlund.
It was a new day.
Hastur got up from the bed, stretched his muscles, walked to the window, opened the window, and admired Backlund, which had not been shrouded in gray fog.
The matter of the poorhouse had been completely resolved. Except for Mr. A and the extraordinary people of the destiny path hidden in the dark, he was no longer in any other danger.
Regarding the extraordinary people of the destiny path, he had an idea in his mind. As long as he did not look for the golden box hidden by Voltaire, he should not touch the joint point of destiny.
This was a speculation he made based on his understanding of destiny, and the accuracy 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 that his spirit has been reminding him that once he goes to the third floor, he is likely to encounter bad things.
Now he understands a little bit that the golden box related to fate must be hidden on the third floor. As long as he goes to the third floor to look for it, he will definitely find it.
And this will attract the extraordinary people of the destiny path lurking in the dark.
Therefore, before he becomes stronger, he will not go to the third floor to look for the so-called golden box.
Now, only the crazy Mr. A is the most difficult to predict. He is really a little afraid of this Mr. A.
Who knows what surprise gift he will send to himself again.
The head of Bard sent last time attracted the attention of the Nighthawk, so he needs to act to pass the nightmare test.
"Alas, now I understand why the people of the Aurora Club are basically crazy."
It is difficult for any normal person to predict what a group of crazy people want to do, and it is even more difficult to catch them.
After 20 minutes, Hasta closed the window, went to the bathroom to wash, and then went downstairs to eat.
After dinner, Butler Neil came to report the situation of the ancestral property.
The manor where the Campbell family started was not very big, but because of its special meaning, the Campbell family has been passed down.
Today, the ancestral manor is still planting flowers, including roses, tulips, phalaenopsis, and asters.
Its normal annual income is between 3,000 and 4,000 gold pounds, which is not as good as the only large plantation left by the old butler.
The income of that large plantation can exceed 4,000 gold pounds in half a year. If there is no accident, the annual income is more than 10,000 gold pounds.
This is Hasta's biggest source of income.
Hasta listened silently and asked Neil to handle these things.
The annual increase of 4,000 gold pounds, plus the income of the large plantation and his salary as a legal advisor to the Bavart Bank, the total amount is about 15,000 gold pounds a year.
Although this is not as good as the wealthy nobles, it is far more than ordinary people, enough to live a very rich and luxurious life.
It seems like a lot, but if you compare it to Miss Audrey, the gap will be obvious.
Even if he doesn't eat or drink, and saves 15,000 gold pounds a year, it will take at least 20 years to catch up with Audrey's wealth.
The gap is too big.
Hasta sighed and stopped thinking about these sad things.
Thinking that he had made a lot of money recently, he was happy again. He waved his hand and 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, he asked Butler Neil to prepare 2,200 gold pounds, and he would personally return it to Viscount Glint.
The extra 200 gold pounds is considered interest.
It has been almost three months since he was born. Ten percent interest for three months is already very high.
After solving these things, Hasta prepared to go out.
When he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered the plant Aster.
If he remembered correctly, the manor left in the suburbs was called Aster Manor, right?
