Chapter 430 Aurora Club declares responsibility for the incident

This time, Sharon was not scared away by Hastur's teasing words. Instead, she raised her eyes slightly, stared at him, and said calmly: "Then what?"

Hasta was slightly stunned. Sharon, who tried to maintain her stubbornness, was really cute. She seemed to be looking forward to it, but also entangled and timid.

Although she tried to pretend to be calm, the sea in her blue eyes had already been spreading with ripples.

"Sharon..."

Hasta called softly, and there was a little more ambiguity in the air. Sharon, who was originally planning to hold on, took two steps back and said, "I haven't decided what New Year's gift I want yet."

After that, she pretended that nothing had happened and left. When she left, Azshara shouted and jumped from the shadow on the beam to Sharon's shoulder.

Hasta did not chase him, but sat back in his seat, looking up at the starry sky, thinking about what kind of storm his secret action tonight would bring.

The process of assassinating Govington II was not complicated. Sequence 2 of a single extraordinary path might be a little difficult, but for him who controls several extraordinary paths and has the corresponding authority, it is basically not difficult without the intervention of the three gods.

Killing through dreams was a combination of Hastur's own extraordinary abilities and one of the seals he obtained from the Mind Dragon, which completed this assassination at a very long distance.

Except for William I, the ancestor of the Augustus family, who caused him a little trouble, the rest were smooth sailing.

I think when Govington II's head was cut off, he was probably still thinking that it was just a dream, and dreams are usually the opposite of what happens in the real world.

After entering Govington II's dream and assassinating him successfully, he also read part of Govington II's memory.

For example, the person who told Govington II the three prophecies was Zaratul who was hiding in the dark. He has gone crazy again recently, and he is very crazy. It is estimated that he saw something he shouldn't have seen. Of course, it is not ruled out that he is pretending.

In addition to this, he also saw a little secret about the fall of George III. Unfortunately, Covington II only knew that there was a problem, but he didn't know where the problem was.

The only thing that made Hastur more concerned tonight was the indulgence of the three gods towards him.

The three gods did not descend, but they vaguely knew what happened in Backlund, but they still sat back and let him assassinate Covington II.

In addition to not wanting to be hostile to the stars, it is probably because Covington II has been making frequent moves recently, which has annoyed them.

For the Goddess of Night, conquering the Feysac Empire is the most important thing. For the Lord of Storms, Covington II's attack on the old nobles is a slap in his face. The God of Steam and Machinery doesn't care, but his presence has always been the weakest.

The Augustus family's territory is still there, and the death of Covington II will not cause too much panic. It can also effectively warn the people of the Augustus family to always maintain awe of the gods.

In this case, it is normal for the three gods to make such a choice.

Hastur thought about various possibilities to prevent himself from missing any important tips.

…

Outside Puning Harbor, the investigators of the Tri-God Church were the first to receive news from Backlund.

“Govington II has fallen!”

“Tonight, just before the stroke of twelve!”

“The cause of death is unknown, and even the murderer is unknown!”

This heavy news cast a shadow over the hearts of the investigators who were celebrating the New Year. They had just received a New Year’s holiday allowance approved by Govington II.

“The church wants us to return to Backlund and take charge of other matters.”

“We are the same.”

“It seems that the church should know the secret of this matter.”

The three heads of the Tri-God Church discussed and decided to return to Backlund in two days. Before returning, they still needed to meet the Earl Hastur Campbell according to the arrangement of the church, and then end this trip to South Wales.

January 1st, the day when everything revives in the new year.

Backlund is shrouded in a thick haze, which makes it difficult for everyone to breathe.

The death of Covington II could not be concealed after all. Overnight, the news of Covington II's death occupied a large page in all major newspapers.

With the leak of newspapers and the promotion of the topic, the streets and alleys of Backlund today are talking about this topic.

In particular, the former king of the Kingdom of Loen was also assassinated, and the assassin has not been caught until now.

Now Covington II has followed in his father's footsteps and is heading for death.

This makes many people feel insecure. Even the king can be assassinated one after another, and the assassin has not been caught. Is it that the assassin is too powerful, or the guards are too incompetent?

Can such a Loen royal family really lead the Loen Kingdom to prosperity?

Not long after, members of the Loen royal family came forward and defined the assassination as a conspiracy between the Feysac Empire and the Aurora Society.

While expressing deep grief, it aroused people's disgust with the Feysac Empire in order to prepare for the complete conquest of the Feysac Empire in the spring.

In this regard, the Three Gods Church stood together with the Loen royal family, and put all the blame on the Feysac Empire and the Aurora Society. Anyway, they had so many crimes, so it didn't matter if they added one more.

Many Loen royal family members came to William I's retreat today, led by Grove Augustus.

"I know why you came, but you are not allowed to know this." William I directly blocked the question they wanted to ask, and then said: "Let the eldest son of King Covington II succeed to the throne, and you will assist him on the side. In the future, you will devote yourself to conquering the Feysac Empire and do less other things."

Grov paused when he heard this, and said with a bitter smile on his face: "Ancestor, do we, the Augustus family, have to swallow our anger?"

"Augustus family..." William I said it twice, and then said coldly: "Have you ever seen a family that can always be prosperous?"

"This..."

Grov's heart trembled suddenly. Does this mean that their Augustus family is now on the decline?

"Go back, deal with what should be done quickly, and don't touch what shouldn't be done."

After saying this, William I closed his eyes and asked people to see the guests off.

He sighed only after all the visitors left.

The reason why the Augustus family stood out in history and became the rulers of the Kingdom of Loen was because the gods chose them.

Now, the gods' eyes have left them and are on others.

Even if he is unwilling, he knows that as long as no one in the Augustus family becomes a god, then the Augustus family will always be a dispensable pawn in the hands of the gods.

Such things are not uncommon throughout history.

The only difference is that as long as "He" is not dead, the Augustus family will not be completely exterminated.

But it would be difficult to maintain the glory of the past.

On the afternoon of January 1, Klein held the first Tarot Club of the New Year.

When Miss Justice finished the first greeting of the New Year, Mr. Fool finished reading Roselle's diary. Oh, no one handed in Roselle's diary this week.

When the free exchange session began, the Hanged Man Alger spoke first, and said in a heavy tone: "Recently, another big thing happened in Backlund. Covington II was stabbed to death last night, just before the clock struck twelve."

"Yes, this matter has spread all over Backlund now. Some people say that Covington II offended the gods, so he was punished by the gods." Emlyn also added in coordination with Alger.

Audrey and Fors were shocked. They had invited Hugh to go out and enjoy the New Year scenery of Southwell this morning.

Unexpectedly, Backlund caused such a big thing without making any noise.

A king died under the assassination of a killer when crossing the New Year. For Covington II, this has to be said to be a kind of irony.

After he came to power, he has been committed to clearing the power of the old nobles. Unexpectedly, he himself became the garbage that was swept away in the end.

Klein was also surprised, although the way he spent the New Year was just drinking alone in a coastal tavern.

Fors asked, "Have you found out who assassinated Govington II?"

"According to the Loen royal family themselves, it was the Feysac Empire and the Aurora Society that did it, and a member of the Aurora Society has already come forward to take responsibility for this matter."

Alger shared the inside information he heard from the Storm Church.

Fors sighed, "The Aurora Society, it's them again, they even dared to assassinate the king."

"Maybe it's not them, they just simply want the reputation generated by this incident. The worse the reputation, the more conducive it is for them to recruit new members."

Alger said, looking at Miss Justice. He wanted to know if the upper class of Loen knew some different inside stories.

Audrey pondered for a while, and said to Alger's expectant eyes: "If the king of Loen Kingdom was so easy to assassinate, Backlund would not be a forbidden area for extraordinary people."

Alger's eyes showed such an expression. In fact, Audrey simply did not believe that the members of the Aurora Society would assassinate Covington II. In her heart, she thought that this should be a divine punishment, which was related to the previous incident of the sky fire.

Covington II angered the gods, so he was assassinated in Backlund.

Otherwise, under the watchful eyes of the gods, even an angel would find it difficult to assassinate the king of a country.

"Maybe it was the work of the stars again." Emlyn added silently.

Fors wanted to refute him, don't bring everything to the stars!

What is there about Covington II that is worthy of the stars' attention?

But she didn't speak, thinking that she would ask Mr. Hastur after returning.

The work of the stars?

Klein also thought for a while, and he also tended to think that this matter might be done by the believers of the stars, without any reason, just a hunch.

"A big thing happened on the sea recently." The one who changed the subject was the world.

Alger looked at him curiously. Could anything happen on the sea recently that was bigger than the assassination of the King of Loen Kingdom?

Facing everyone's gaze, the world said expressionlessly: "There is another mysterious treasure legend on the sea. It is said that someone landed on an undiscovered island, where he saw a huge black mausoleum."
