Chapter 334: Xio also wants to become a believer of the stars
It is indeed the blessing of the stars.
Bernadette left quietly in the dark, and did not choose to meet Fors, who was also a believer of the stars, because there was no point.
After finishing the sea affairs, she came to Backlund to relax and play. Just then, she received a prayer picture from the stars, so she went there to solve the matter.
She also heard that someone in Backlund had been secretly tracking down the believers of the stars. She did not need to wait for the stars to tell her to start investigating the people or organizations behind the scenes.
In addition to the Church of the Seven Gods, there is also a family that has been almost forgotten by history.
The Abraham family.
In order to find the believers of the stars, they became crazy, which was in stark contrast to the impression of hiding their identities.
She wanted to investigate the problems here, and at the same time, she wanted to establish her authority and crack down on those organizations that were looking for believers of the stars.
After Bernadette left, Fors also left Warehouse 32 with Hugh.
On the way, Xio said seriously: "We need to move. Our place of residence has been exposed. If we continue to live here, we will definitely attract more people who are looking for believers of the stars."
"I'm sorry, I have implicated you."
"Hehe, I'm glad to know, so you will be responsible for dinner today."
Fors laughed and said that this matter would be left to her to solve.
The dinner was easy to handle, but finding a suitable new house was not so easy.
The two of them secretly went back home and took away all the money and valuables at home. In order to avoid trouble, they did not ask the landlord to return the rent.
It was 2 pounds and 8 soles!
The two of them put on different makeup than usual to avoid being easily recognized.
"How about we go to Miss Audrey for help?"
"No, our current situation is too dangerous. What if Miss Audrey is implicated..."
"Okay, then what do you say?"
"Let's go to St. Samuel Church and find a place to stay temporarily."
Fors made a decision. This was a little trick of refuge that Hastur had told them.
If you encounter any extraordinary events that cannot be solved, then stay near the Church of St. Samuel first, which can generally ensure safety.
"I heard from Grelint that Mr. Hastur will return to Backlund soon. Let's go to him to give us some advice."
"Okay."
Having made a decision, Fors and Hugh decided to spend some money and take a carriage to the Church of St. Samuel.
...
At night, Fors was in the new room, closed the doors and windows, and began to pray devoutly to the stars.
The familiar starry sky unfolded little by little from the ceiling, and Fors's confusion and anxiety slowly calmed down.
"Thanks to the blessing of the stars, my friend and I escaped this disaster."
Fors first thanked, and then said uneasily: "My friend also wants to believe in the stars, is it okay?"
"The stars will not reject every devout believer."
Fors' face was happy, and then hurriedly said: "She is outside now, can I let her in?"
"Yes."
In the Hall of Stars, Hastur did not care about having another Hugh.
Now that Fors's identity has been exposed, given her relationship with Xio, Xio will definitely be considered a believer of the stars.
Outside the door, Xio took several deep breaths before she mustered up the courage to follow Fors in.
Looking at the dreamy room in front of her, which was shrouded by the brilliant starry sky, Xio's eyes flashed with obsession. She stared at it for a long time before she hurriedly lowered her head and returned to her initial uneasiness.
At first impression, she had already recognized the mysterious existence of the stars.
Moreover, Fors had believed in the stars for so long and had not encountered any ominous things, which showed that the stars were a friendly god who was kind to people, not a terrible existence of evil gods.
The uneasiness in her heart gradually subsided, and then, at Fors's urging, she offered her faith to the stars.
A piece of starlight descended from the illusory and mysterious hall of stars, evenly covering an inch of Xio's skin.
This is to use the power of the stars to cover up her fate and give her a certain degree of secret ability, so that Xiu is not easily found by people through divination and other means.
Although Fors and Xiu escaped today, those who hide deeper will also infer from what happened today that Fors and Xiu are believers of the stars.
Necessary secret protection is necessary, after all, they are far inferior to Bernadette.
After doing all this, Hasta dispersed the starry sky and ended this conversation.
In the Hall of Stars, Hasta heard another report from Bernadette.
According to Bernadette's investigation during this period, the Abraham family where Mr. Men belongs actively participated in the search for believers of the stars.
It turned out that the Fallen Mother Goddess was behind it.
Hasta immediately thought that this was the work of the Fallen Mother Goddess.
Now the Fallen Mother Goddess's infiltration and influence on the Abraham family is getting bigger and bigger. It is estimated that most of the Abraham family has been polluted and become believers of the Fallen Mother Goddess.
Hastur's eyes swept towards the star where the Fallen Mother Goddess was. It was dark and he could not see the Fallen Mother Goddess at all, nor could he know the specific situation of Mr. Men at the moment.
But thinking about it, the Fallen Mother Goddess must have taken some extreme measures to break through Mr. Men's blockade with her power, indirectly affecting and polluting the entire Abraham family.
Hastur asked Bernadette to continue investigating, and at the same time asked her to be careful of the Fallen Mother Goddess.
If it is difficult to deal with the fallen mother goddess, Bernadette should choose to cooperate with the Seven Gods Church, just like she did with the Rose School before.
The next day, just after dawn, the steam train from South Wilshire successfully arrived in Backlund.
When Hasta and two followers got off the steam train, the people sent by Butler Neil to guard here rushed to wait for orders as soon as possible.
Because they could not calculate when the steam train would arrive, they had been waiting at the station for three days.
This made Hasta very satisfied with Butler Neil's attitude.
All the way back to the home in Queens by carriage, just after drinking a sip of hot tea and listening to Butler Neil reporting what happened during this period, Greg came to visit.
"You are really well-informed."
Hasta smiled, got up and went to the door to greet Greg.
A long-lost hug, Greg looked Hasta up and down, and said with emotion: "Hasta, you seem to have grown a lot taller after not seeing you for half a year."
"The water and soil in South Wilshire are not bad, it is more nourishing." Hasta replied with a smile.
After inviting Greg to sit down, the two chatted about their experiences during this period. After chatting, Greg gave Hasta a look.
Hasta understood and invited him to the study on the second floor to talk.
"Hasta, I have heard about your affairs in Southville County, but you have to be careful of the Grand Duke of Southville. He has a lot of complaints about you."
Hasta raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it the former or the current one?"
"This is Backlund." Greg lowered his voice and said, "He thinks you are too ambitious. You can use it but not always. This is what he said."
Hasta's face was also a little solemn, and he listened more seriously.
"This time the king allowed you to come back, and he might have wanted to take the opportunity to knock you."
"I will only be back for a week and then leave."
Hasta told Greg not to worry about this matter. He did not do anything that violated the laws of Loen. Instead, he was conscientious in clearing out pirates, and even the current Grand Duke of Southville could not find any handle on him.
Hasta turned to ask about Greg's current situation.
"I'm still young, and most of the family's resources are concentrated in my uncle's hands. It's neither good nor bad. It's easy for me to be an idle noble."
Hearing Greg say this, Hastur knew that his position in the Negan family was very awkward.
Having a prime minister who is his uncle and is deeply trusted by the king, anyone with a discerning eye knows which side to bet on.
However, being young and long-lived is also an advantage, and there will always be a time for the old and the new to take over.
Greg didn't stay too long, and left after talking about business.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Hastur changed into a more casual outfit and came to the Brave Bar.
Maric had been waiting for him in the billiard room. When he saw Hasta coming, he snorted coldly: "Look, isn't this Earl Hasta Campbell? How come he suddenly came back from the gentle land of South Wales?"
"Tsk, Maric, your level of yin and yang needs to be improved."
Hasta sat opposite Maric with a smile, and said: "Sharon asked me to tell you a message. No matter who you are in front of, you must learn to restrain yourself. Whether it is close or hateful, the emotions released are like water that has been poured out, and you can never take them back."
At first Maric listened carefully, but then he said coldly: "When did Sharon become so talkative?"
"Oh, I just help Sharon describe what she wants to say in detail."
"..."
Maric snorted lightly, and then became expressionless and kept strangers away.
Hasta didn't care at all. He took out a bottle of red wine brought back from South Wales and poured a glass for himself and Maric.
"How does it taste?"
"Not bad."
"Why do I feel that the taste has deteriorated? I'd better take it back and throw it away."
Marichi took the bottle of red wine first, "People like me can only drink this kind of wine."
Hasta smiled and talked to Marichi about what Backlund needs to pay attention to during this period.
According to Marichi, the most popular things in Backlund at present are the Stars and the Fool.
This is the same as what the High-Dimensional Overlooker said.
