Chapter 171 Mr. Hastur is a follower of the night?
St. Samuel's Church.
When Leonard came back with a smell of alcohol, many people were waiting for him, including Klein who came with the Nighthawks to report the results of last night's battle.
"There was no news all night, and we thought you were in danger."
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
"Leonard Mitchell, you are a real warrior, and you have successfully proved to everyone that you are a qualified member of the Red Gloves!"
After a round of greetings and affirmations, Leonard, who was already a little light-headed because of drinking too much, became more and more light-headed.
Klein supported his arm and let him sit on a bench to rest.
Smelling the strong smell of alcohol on Leonard, Klein frowned slightly and said, "You smell of alcohol, what did you do last night?"
Acting as a bait is a very dangerous thing. After Leonard got away, he didn't hide quickly and drank all night.
I really don't know whether to say he is brave or ignorant and fearless.
Leonard glanced at the other members of the Red Gloves team who also wanted to know what happened last night, cleared his throat, and said:
"I was teleported to a bar last night. Because of the negative effects of the seal, I didn't dare to walk around, let alone return to the church directly. I could only choose that bar as my place of residence temporarily."
"At that time, I was cold and my whole body was cold, so I drank some strong liquor to relieve the symptoms. I didn't want to drink too much at first, but then I met an interesting drinker and had a very good chat with him. I drank a lot without realizing it."
"The drinker went home to rest after drinking, and I stayed in the bar until the bar closed at dawn, and then I took a carriage back."
Leonard roughly recounted what happened last night, which satisfied the curiosity of the people around him.
Klein thought for a while, but still didn't ask Leonard how much he spent on drinks last night.
He had seen the prices in Backlund, and the drinks in the bar would definitely be much more expensive than those outside.
Leonard drank all night and probably drank up his weekly salary.
The captain of the Red Gloves team who was in charge of Leonard also thought of this problem. He smiled and patted Leonard on the shoulder, "Don't worry, the expenses of going out to perform tasks can be reimbursed."
"Thank you, captain." Leonard smiled.
The cost of a night's drinks. Judging from the price of drinks in the bar he saw last night, it should be no problem to quote 50 gold pounds for a night's drinks.
After all, they didn't know that they drank the cheaper Southwell beer most of the time last night, and they didn't know that their drinks had been paid for.
Earning 50 gold pounds for nothing is indeed a good development.
He has already decided to go to the Brave Bar again in a few days when the wind is not so tense. He must buy back the money for a meal.
Leonard, who has completed his mission, went to the room to rest with Klein.
On the way, Klein briefly introduced Leonard to the results of last night's battle.
Their East District Night Watcher team, in cooperation with a team of Punishers, surrounded and killed five Beyonders, one of whom was actually a Sequence 6.
The ambush at Sivelas Square on the other side was even more amazing.
They surrounded and killed two Sequence 5s, and almost left a Sequence 4 demigod behind, which completely shocked the Beyonders hiding in the dark.
As for the identities of the two Sequence 5 Beyonders, the church did not choose to make them public.
According to a member of the Red Gloves team, one of them might be from the Fussack Empire, and the other was a member of the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom.
Leonard listened silently and said with emotion: "A Sequence 4 demigod actually came out to target me. Fortunately, I ran fast enough, otherwise it would be terrible."
"You still have to be careful next time. There must be more people spying on me last night. For example, the Aurora Society, which is always known for its boldness, has not sent anyone to take action." Klein reminded.
"Strange, they can be so patient this time, which is really rare."
Leonard also felt strange. In his impression, the Aurora Society is a terrorist organization that is fearless.
They should also be looking for the Stars believers, but why is there no movement at all?
Could it be that they have the wisdom to see through the trap?
That's really a bit scary.
After sending Leonard back to his room, Klein left first. He came to St. Samuel's Church this time on business, so he didn't have much time to reminisce.
Leonard went back to his room and lay on the bed, ready to have a good sleep, but was disturbed by the voice deep in his heart.
"The person you talked to last night was a little unusual."
"Are you referring to Mr. Hasta? Does he have any special identity?" Leonard's sleepiness was dispelled a lot.
"I don't know, I can't see through it. But it is because I can't see through him that he may have problems."
"Old man, even you can't see through it?"
"I just have some doubts."
"What do you doubt?"
"Could that person be the one who favors the night, the one who makes me unable to see through, except for having a higher status than me, only has the secrets of the night."
Leonard's sleepiness disappeared, and he became energetic, curiously: "Old man, what sequence were you in your life?"
"In your life? Brat, I'm not dead yet!"
"Ahem, it was a slip of the tongue."
"If you want to know what level of existence I am, then hurry up and improve your strength. Backlund is not simple. A Sequence 7 is just a slightly more powerful ant."
Seeing that the old man didn't want to reveal this issue, Leonard brought the topic to the issue of the Night Blessed.
"No wonder we had a great conversation when we first met. It turns out that he is the goddess' favored one."
"I just have doubts."
"As long as he doesn't have any ill intentions toward me, don't explore his identity. After all, it's rare to have a friend I can talk to."
"You are stupid, but your luck seems to be pretty good."
Leonard shouted: "Old man, can you speak properly!"
There was a tut from deep inside, as if he was disdainful of this.
"Do you still remember the negative effects of that cloak of night?"
"It's easy to encounter incredible events if you walk around randomly?"
"Perhaps your meeting last night was an incredible event."
"Is it really so accurate?"
Leonard was completely shocked by these words.
But when I think about it carefully, I find it really incredible.
I was just looking for a bar to drink, but I happened to meet someone who was slightly better than me in terms of appearance and talent.
Recalling the scene last night, Mr. Hastur walked out of the VIP room in the bar, which meant that he came to the Brave Bar earlier than he did.
Judging from his tone, he was a regular visitor to that bar, so there was no possibility that he was squatting there to wait for him.
Leonard thought carefully for a long time and agreed with the old man's guess.
It is truly incredible that there is a man in this world whose looks and talents are better than his own.
…
"It turns out that the person pretending to be a follower of the stars is you, Leonard."
In the Palace of Stars, Hastur accurately found the person pretending to be a believer in the stars, Leonard Mitchell, by spying on the relevant fate.
He drank too late last night and slept until noon as soon as he came back. It wasn't until after lunch that he returned to his room and entered the Hall of Stars to start exploring his destiny.
Unexpectedly, the person finally found out was Leonard.
Last night, I had a drink with Leonard and talked about the disciples of the stars. The two of them had so many different ideas.
Thinking about it now, everything seems very interesting.
Hastur chuckled a few times, and then thought about Leonard's intention of pretending to be a believer in the stars.
He should have learned about the existence of the Stars Believers from the church, and he had only recently come to Backlund from Tingen.
Combined with recent events, it is not difficult to infer that Leonard's disguise as a disciple of the stars was the instruction from the Church of the Goddess of the Night.
The purpose of doing this should be to attract the true believers of the stars.
"It's a good strategy, but it's a pity that Backlund only has Fors, a believer in the stars. It's impossible for you to fish a completely flat fish out of the water."
Hastur murmured, not wanting to take any measures against Leonard for the time being.
Perhaps it was fate. Last night, I just went to the Brave Bar and met Leonard, who had just arrived in Backlund not long ago.
Leonard's identity card in the Tarot Society is the star, and he symbolizes the stars.
There is a connection between the stars and the stars, and he pretends to be a believer in the stars.
Hastur wouldn't mind making Leonard a true disciple of the stars if given the chance.
Making a fake show and doing it for real is also a good development.
Hastur thought for a while, then glanced at the twinkling stars in the sky above his head.
Except for the high-dimensional overlooker who is still looking at the sea, the other stars are quiet.
Hastur just stared at the High-dimensional Overlooker for a while, then moved to another small point of light.
Since the last time the white crystal eyeball was shot down from the sky by the Lord of Storms and landed on the border of the Republic of Intis, he no longer paid attention to it.
Looking at it now, I saw that the white crystal eyeball had fallen on the bell tower of a small town, with cracks all over the body, but the light inside had not dissipated much.
The hazy light seemed to be passing through the big bell, turning into invisible ripples and spreading in all directions.
Is this pollution from high-dimensional overlookers?
After looking at it carefully for a while, Hastur temporarily rejected this guess.
The residents of the town are still living peacefully, and have not changed due to the arrival of the white crystal eyeballs. No one even knows that there is a pair of white crystal eyeballs on the bell tower.
"It always makes people feel uneasy."
Hastur stared at it for a long time, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he left the Hall of Stars.
