Chapter 540 New Members of the Star Conference
After the Tarot meeting, Audrey found a reason to take Susie, who was lying outside the door, to Hastur's house in a carriage.
Although they were engaged, they did not live together yet. As for when to get married, Earl Hall asked them to decide on their own.
"The master is in the study on the second floor."
Azshara came out to greet them. She was talking to Audrey, but her bright eyes were always staring at Susie.
"Susie, play with Azshara well."
Audrey stroked Azshara's little head and handed Azshara to Susie to take care of.
"I'll take you to the garden."
Azshara walked in front with great pride, and Susie followed silently behind.
Only in front of Susie did Azshara find the joy of being a human being. Compared with a big golden retriever, a person can do more things.
Flexible hands are far from being comparable to dog paws.
For example, when playing chess, although Susie is very good at reading, it is difficult for her paws to even grab a chess piece, and she can only push it.
This way of playing chess is easy to make mistakes. Azshara picked up the loopholes many times and defeated Susie in one go.
On the second floor, Hastur was sorting out his various industries in Backlund, ready to return to South Wales at any time.
"Miss Sharon, are you away today?" Audrey walked into the study and asked casually.
"She has some things to deal with in Backlund." Hastur put down the documents he was sorting, got up and went to the sofa, pulled Audrey to sit next to him, and asked: "What happened?"
"Mr. Hastur, do you know that the war is about to start?"
"Yes, I know."
Audrey, who originally wanted to reveal some of the latest news to Hastur, was a little depressed and said: "When did you know?"
"A few days ago, you know that I have a good relationship with Bernadette of the Pirate Kingdom. Many of the latest news on the sea are difficult to hide from me."
"Really just a few days ago?" Audrey's serious tone made Hastur silent for a while.
"Audrey, everyone has their own little secrets. I don't want to hide anything from you, but some things are not suitable to tell you yet."
Hasta was about to say this when Audrey said first: "Everyone has their own little secrets, and I have too, so Mr. Hasta doesn't have to feel ashamed for not being able to be honest."
Audrey smiled brightly and put her little hand in Hasta's palm.
"Then let us each keep our own secrets, and when we think it's appropriate, we can tell each other honestly."
"Yes."
Audrey didn't stay for too long. After discussing with Hasta about the possible strategic decisions of the top leaders of the Kingdom of Loen, she took Susie away in the reluctant eyes of Azsara.
"Pack up your things, we will return to South Wales in a few days."
Butler Neil responded and began to prepare to leave Backlund.
In the early morning of January 18, the Seros County of the Kingdom of Feynet was completely breached.
At this time, the top leaders of the Kingdom of Feynet, who were still immersed in the warmth of the New Year, received the real news from Seros County and hurriedly began to discuss countermeasures.
At 8 o'clock in the evening of January 18, Backlund, who also received the news, summoned several nobles to the palace to discuss this matter, and Hastur was one of them.
"I can only do my best to ensure that Southwell County will not be lost." Hastur made his own guarantee, which made the Loen royal family feel relieved.
They were really afraid that the young Earl Campbell would give up at this critical moment.
In order to allow Hastur to manage the entire Southwell County legitimately, the Loen royal family appointed Hastur as the Grand Duke of Southwell.
Hastur initially refused this ominous position in which three grand dukes died, but when he thought that this ominous position was caused by himself, he did not refuse.
At the end of the meeting, the Loen royal family allocated another 500,000 gold pounds of military funds from the treasury to Hastur, asking him to improve his armaments and make sure to defend Southwell County.
As for the support for the Kingdom of Feynaport, it was not mentioned at all in the meeting. The so-called lips and teeth are cold, which is just wishful thinking.
The day after the meeting, Hastur went to Southville. He asked Butler Neil and others to take the steam train, and he took Sharon and Azshara through the travel portal to Southville directly to avoid wasting time.
Audrey chose to stay in Backlund and did not go to Southville.
Earl Hall regretted that he should have completed the engagement ceremony and the marriage at the same time.
On January 20, the army from the southern continent, with Seros County as its base, crossed the sea and arrived in Seros County with a steady stream of troops, and then divided into three groups to start a full-scale attack on the Kingdom of Feynet.
On January 25, the king of the Kingdom of Feynet was suddenly assassinated while delivering a mobilization speech and died of serious injuries.
On January 26, the terrorist organization Aurora Society loudly claimed responsibility for the assassination of the king of the Kingdom of Feynet.
On January 28, the turbulent Kingdom of Feynet was unable to organize an effective counterattack, and fortresses in various places were breached one after another.
On January 30, the Feynaport Kingdom sent envoys to the Kingdoms of Lenburg, Segar, Masi, and Loen to seek military assistance.
On February 1, in South Wales, inside the family castle, Hastur was enjoying a brief moment of time with Sharon.
After he got engaged to Audrey, Sharon hid away on the pretext that she had to deal with temperance affairs. Until she came to South Wales, she had nowhere to hide.
At night, Hastur fell asleep early in Sharon's room and entered the palace of stars.
Tonight's gathering of stars, with the addition of the Goddess of the Night and the True Creator, two gods from within the original barrier, will definitely be more interesting than previous gatherings of stars.
Hastur can already imagine the shocked looks from the old days from the Djinn, the Mother Tree of Desire and other outer gods.
He sat quietly in his seat, thinking about possible situations that might arise tonight and related countermeasures to prevent the meeting from getting out of control.
After finishing thinking, Hastur first scanned the stars where they were located, and then led them one by one to the Hall of Stars.
The first one is the Djinn, followed closely by the Mother Tree of Desire, the Superstar Lord, the High-Dimensional Overlooker, the Original Hunger, the Night Goddess, and the True Creator.
The Mother Tree of Desire and other outer gods who came first looked at the last two members of the Gathering of Stars with a scrutinizing gaze.
One is an inverted black cross, and the other is a mature, elegant woman wearing a complicated black dress whose face is difficult to see clearly.
The djinn, who knew all the hidden existences within the initial barrier, had a strange look in his eyes and said solemnly: "The true creator and the goddess of the night."
The Mother Tree of Desire also recognized the goddess of the night. Part of the authority of the Crimson Moon was in the hands of the goddess of the night. Later, the goddess of the night made a deal with the Mother Goddess of the Earth.
During those years, he, the Fallen Mother Goddess, and the Night Goddess competed for the authority of the Crimson Moon. Naturally, he could not forget such a familiar atmosphere.
The gaze of the high-dimensional overlooker mainly fell on the true Creator. He traveled back and forth to the land abandoned by God several times, but he never met the true Creator.
The other party obviously avoided seeing him on purpose.
The scene was silent for a while, and after sizing each other up, Hastur casually introduced the true creator and the goddess of the night to the Mother Tree of Desire and other outer gods.
"This is a great opportunity for communication. I believe you will have a great time chatting."
Hastur leaned back slightly and looked at the back of the chair, waiting for the exchange between them.
With the Djinn around, it would be difficult for both of them to remain silent.
"I didn't expect that you two would be the new members. It seems that you also feel that the end is coming and everything is irreversible." The genie took the lead to break the silence.
"No one is sure what the outcome will be until the last moment." The goddess of the night responded calmly, not feeling frightened by the foreign gods in front of her.
"Are you planning to defect to our camp?" Mother Tree of Desire asked directly.
"Do you need it?" The goddess of the night glanced at them, "You are outside the barrier, and we are inside the barrier. We have far more initiative than you."
"It is you who are asking for something from us, not us who is begging for you." The True Creator also spoke at the right time.
"You can't open the seal left by the Lord of Mysteries. You can only look at the treasure mountain and sigh, and you can't go any further." The Super Star Master said indifferently.
"What if the Lord of Mysteries is awakening?"
The goddess of the night dropped an important bomb very casually.
The eyes of the foreign gods such as the Mother Tree of Desire and the Super Star Master all brightened up, but only the Djinn God felt particularly uncomfortable and unhappy.
He has not yet gotten rid of the seal of the wishing lamp and returned to the starry sky. Once the Lord of Mysteries wakes up early, won't he never have the chance to return to the starry sky?
Damn it, the Djinn cursed in his heart.
"When He awakens, the seal of the Western Continent will naturally shatter, but you are still blocked from the original barrier."
The goddess of the night spoke in a gentle tone, a fact that made them unable to calm down.
This is the real reason why the Mother Tree of Desire and other outer gods have always wanted to penetrate the initial barrier through various means and spread their influence to the real world.
Fight for time.
Fight against other rivals and fight against the awakening of the Lord of Mysteries.
