Chapter 411 Approaching the Starry Sky
On September 22, everything was normal in Pnin Harbor.
The three major church investigators from Backlund have secretly come to Southville County.
With the experience of the Red Gloves Team of the Church of the Night last time, they were very tactful and did not come directly to Pnin Harbor, but instead investigated the death of Lennart Augustus.
During the investigation, they found that the real cause of death of Lennart Augustus was anxiety, which eventually led to his sudden death.
The previous accidents and coincidences were only indirect effects.
But such an investigation is obviously not enough. They also need to investigate the source of accidents and coincidences, as well as the cause of the strange death of the former Grand Duke of Southville.
If Drinker Augustus, who is unknown whether he is dead or alive, is included, there are three Grand Dukes of Southville who died here.
It makes people's scalp numb just thinking about it.
If there is no hidden secret, who can believe it?
The biggest suspect in these things is naturally the Earl of Hasta Campbell.
The motive is simple, and the only thing that needs to be confirmed is whether he has the ability to commit the crime.
When the investigation was nearing its end, the investigators sent by the Three Gods held a special meeting to discuss who would lead the team to Puning Port to conduct the investigation.
During the discussion, the people of the Church of the Night were not very active, and finally the members of the Mechanical Heart took over the leading task.
When the investigation team led by the members of the Mechanical Heart arrived at Puning Port, their spirits were in a state of mania, as if the small port in front of them contained a huge danger that could swallow their lives.
But at this time, they had just got off the carriage and had not yet started the investigation.
"I always feel something is wrong, even the breeze in the air seems to be refusing our approach." Someone said.
The others were silent, and finally entered Puning Port to conduct the investigation.
This time, the Three Gods Church jointly investigated, with sufficient material and manpower.
If they fled back to Backlund in disgrace, they would be ridiculed.
When they were about to visit the young Earl Hasta Campbell with courtesy before force, and drove all the way to where he lived, they were stopped.
Four guards dressed like ordinary soldiers blocked their way forward, and the coldness in their tone revealed that there was no room for compromise.
What made them feel even more horrible was that these four guards gave them a terrible feeling, as if they would be chopped off their heads with a sharp blade the next moment if they didn't obey.
But they could only continue to communicate with courage, but it didn't work. They were still blocked outside. Even if they had already brought out the names of the three major churches, they couldn't cross the line.
A member of the investigation team wanted to try whether he could solve the people in front of him through extraordinary abilities, but when the guards' eyes swept over, he trembled with fear and dared not have any other ideas.
There was no way, they could only find a place to live first.
"I think it's better to leave directly to avoid any accidents." A member of the Church of the Night said cautiously: "Even if you want to stay, don't choose to live in the hotel. This is a piece of advice."
"Is there anything you can't say more clearly?"
The leader of the Mechanical Heart scolded dissatisfiedly, saying that they were sneaking around like people doing bad things in the dark.
"Last time, the Red Gloves came here to investigate something. They lived in the inn at that time..."
The member of the Church of Night described in detail the situation that the Red Gloves encountered.
After listening, the investigation team looked at each other and finally chose to live in the house of a viscount.
Then, in the following days, they kept circling around this area and had no chance to go out again.
…
In the heavily guarded house, Azshara was patrolling with her eyes wide open. She looked so serious that even if a pile of dried fish was placed in front of her, her eyes would not be diverted.
Just two days ago, it accepted the great mission of protecting the safety of its master.
With the mission in hand, it no longer lazily and greedily, and patrolled seriously all day long.
It would only respond a few times when Sharon summoned it.
Outside the door of the room where Hastur lived, Sharon was like an exquisite puppet, quietly guarding the people in the room. Her lifeless eyes would only ripple when she swept over Azshara.
It is a difficult process to advance from Sequence 5 to Sequence 4. During this process, the advancement itself may fail for various reasons, and finally fall into madness.
If you cannot keep quiet or are deliberately disturbed by others, then there is basically no hope of successful advancement.
As strong as George III was, when he was promoted to the Black Emperor, he was also at his most vulnerable. Otherwise, as a Sequence 1 who possessed the extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness of the other two Sequence 1s, his strength was only below that of a true god.
It was because of being disturbed that he failed to advance and fell completely.
When she was promoted to Sequence 4, many people from the Temperance Faction also guarded her day and night to prevent her from being suddenly disturbed.
This allowed her to successfully advance and escape the dangerous period.
Hastur's situation is similar to hers. Although the people guarding the periphery are very powerful, the person guarding the closest is herself.
Those who can stand in this position are undoubtedly the most trusted people.
Caius had come to report the matter, but was sent away by Sharon. Madam Lisa realized something and took the initiative to cooperate with Sharon, arranging the members of the Yellow Monks in the outer circle area, and strictly prohibited anyone from disturbing them during this period.
She also stayed outside and prohibited anyone from coming to Sharon.
At this time, Madam Lisa was undoubtedly reliable.
The only thing that worried Sharon now was Hasta's own promotion in the room.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but she didn't feel any fluctuations of Hasta's promotion from inside the room when she was outside the room.
Even Hasta's breath seemed to have completely disappeared in the induction.
But Hasta has always been so mysterious, so she put aside her worries.
...
There was no one in the room at this moment, only an empty bed.
Hasta, who had been lying on the bed, had come to the Hall of Stars.
It was not difficult to achieve this step, and Hasta in the past could do it, but it was far less secretive than entering through dreams.
On the Hall of Stars, Hastur had already taken the potion needed to advance to Sequence 4 Lost Homelander.
This was prepared using the Beyonder characteristic of the Sequence 4 Fallen Earl of the Black Emperor Path.
To advance to the Hall of Stars, the Beyonder characteristics of other Beyonder Paths can be used as the main potion. This is the characteristic of the stars.
When Hastur took the corresponding potion on the Hall of Stars, he clearly felt that his body and mind were completely integrated with the Hall of Stars. This was the first time he had such a feeling.
In the past, he always felt like a tenant of the Hall of Stars, but this time, he really felt that the Hall of Stars was his property and he was the owner of the Hall of Stars!
At this moment, he seemed to be the real returnee of the stars. The entire Hall of Stars was in his palm, moving with his thoughts.
When the potion began to digest, the entire Hall of Stars also showed obvious changes.
It rose again, into the depths of the sky, into the boundless starry sky.
The sky full of stars was even more at his fingertips. They were within the reach of his fingers.
Hastur tried to reach out his hand, but was blocked by a transparent film. It was like a loyal guard, quietly guarding and not allowing anyone or any force to pass through here.
After sensing quietly for a long time, Hastur vaguely guessed the origin of this transparent film.
The initial barrier between the starry sky and the real world.
Has the Star Hall risen to this position?
Hastur's heart moved slightly. He was not surprised that the Star Hall would continue to rise, but he felt that the speed was too fast.
He thought that he would have to break through to Sequence 2 or Sequence 0 before he could reach the same position as the current six true gods.
If he continued at this speed, at Sequence 2 or Sequence 0, the Star Hall would break through the initial barrier and return to the starry sky.
The initial barrier in front of him was not preventing him from continuing to rise, but the Star Hall he was controlling could only reach this position. If he wanted to leave the real world and reach the starry sky, he would have to wait until he was promoted to Sequence 2.
This is like wanting to leave a planet and flying on the surface of a planet. These are two different concepts, and the power required is also very different.
Hastur retracted his gaze from the starry sky and looked around at the kingdoms of the six true gods on the same level as himself.
He saw the kingdom of the goddess of night hidden in the darkness. The secret authority and her kingdom were also hidden, making it difficult to see what was going on.
On the surface, chapters of the history of civilization evolution, as well as steel lumps such as warships and cannons, were surging. Dense yellow gears were hidden behind, pushing civilization forward in a farther direction. This was the kingdom of the god of steam and machinery.
A fertile land covered with various plants, lush branches and leaves, countless branches entwined, a place of thriving scenery, was the kingdom of the mother goddess of the earth.
Like a burning sun, but obviously gradually dimming, the kingdom of light with its doors closed at this moment was the kingdom of the eternal sun.
The kingdoms of the Lord of Storms and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom also manifested with their own characteristics.
The ruined country that had been torn apart and whose dim sky was gradually eroded by the night was once the kingdom of the god of war.
