"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 disclose this issue, Leonard brought the topic to the issue of the Night Blessed.
"No wonder I had a great conversation with him when we first met. It turns out that he is the favored one of the goddess."
"I just have doubts."
"As long as he has no 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?"
Chinese
De was completely shocked by this sentence.
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 spying on his fate.
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 were very different.
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 true believers of the stars.
"It's a good strategy, but it's a pity that Backlund only has Fors, a disciple of 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 believer in 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.
Chapter 172 Audrey’s Troubles
Earl Hall's Villa.
The dim sunlight is slipping out from the crack of the window a little bit.
In front of the desk, Audrey murmured slightly, resting her right elbow on the table, holding her fair face in her palm, and unconsciously drawing circles on the table with her left index finger.
A little annoying, very annoying, very annoying.
Tonight she was going to a party at Glenint's house.
This was decided many days ago. This was also the first gathering after the Qilingers incident, so she still had a lot of expectations.
But her father, Earl Hall, didn't know where he got the news, and he even talked to her about it.
She originally thought that Earl Hall would stop her from going to Gray Lint's party to attend the party, but she did not expect that Earl Hall did not stop her and instead asked her to give a message to Mr. Hastur.
To be precise, she was asked to invite Mr. Hastur to her home.
This was originally a normal social invitation, but when it came from Earl Hall's mouth, it gave people a very strange feeling.
If you really want to invite Mr. Hasta to your home, wouldn't you just send an invitation?
Why do you have to make it so complicated and ask her to convey it on your behalf?
Her eldest brother Hibbert also has a good relationship with Mr. Hastur, so it would be better for him to invite him than to invite him herself, right?
What really gave her a headache was that she had no idea why Earl Hall wanted to invite Mr. Hastur as a guest.
After thinking hard to no avail, Audrey looked at the golden retriever in the corner who was flipping through the pages of the book with her little paws. She looked at it for a while and said, "Susie, can you answer my doubts?"
"Audrey, the book says that you can solve your own troubles by yourself. This is the way to completely eradicate your troubles."
"Susie, you have read so many books, but there is no mention of helping friends in the books?"
"But the book also says that not just any friend can help."
After a pause, Susie asked in confusion: "By the way, Audrey, will friends still be divided into different levels?"
Audrey's eyes lit up and she felt much happier. It was rare that Susie took the initiative to seek help from her.
Ever since Susie focused on studying, it has become increasingly difficult for her to gain a sense of superiority over Susie.
She thought for a moment and said seriously: "Of course, according to the depth of friendship, they can be divided into acquaintances, ordinary friends, good friends, friends worthy of deep friendship, friends worthy of trust in life and death, and friends beyond life and death."
"Then how to judge the depth of friendship between each other? What is the specific symbol? Or is there a quantifiable value? A value exceeding a certain scale means that the friendship between each other can go further?"
Audrey listened silently at first, then slowly opened her mouth, and finally closed it again. She glanced at Susie with a complicated expression and said seriously: "Susie, you are just a dog."
"I know, Audrey, you don't need to remind me, I know how to be a good dog better than anyone else."
"...I mean, you don't need to know too much about humans."
“The book says that because we are full of unknowns about the world, we need to understand the world through learning.
Audrey, isn't this right? "
"..."
Audrey put her hand on her forehead, feeling that she had one more trouble to worry about.
Perhaps from the beginning, I should not have taught Susie to learn knowledge, nor should I have allowed it to learn on its own later.
……
Night, at Gray Linte's house.
In the study room on the second floor, Hastur, Gray Lint, Xio, Forsi and Miss Audrey, who didn't look very good-looking.
Xio asked curiously: "Miss Audrey, your complexion doesn't seem very good?"
"I'm just in a bad mood lately."
Audrey responded with a smile. She couldn't tell others that she was not as good as a dog, and she almost broke down when asked by a dog.
Gray Lint glanced around and said in a regretful tone: "Audrey, why didn't you bring Susie tonight?"
"He has eaten too much recently and has severe indigestion. He is lying at home now." Audrey could guarantee that she was telling the truth.
Susie did eat too much, knowledge, too much messy knowledge, which caused indigestion.
"Is it serious? I can help with diagnosis and treatment. I'm very good at treating pets now."
"Graylint, thank you for your kindness. I have hired the best doctor for Susie."
Audrey refused with a smile. The doctor she was talking about was herself, and she was naturally very good.
In order to prevent others from questioning Susie again, Audrey said slowly: "In the last Qilingos incident, we perfectly foiled his plot to assassinate Duke Negan. In this regard, we can all be regarded as guardians." Backlund’s hero.”
Xio and Forsi were a little embarrassed. They didn't find out much useful information. In the end, it was through reading the newspapers that they found out that Qilingos had infiltrated Backlund to assassinate Duke Negan.
Audrey looked at Xio and Forsi and said with a smile: "Your information is very valuable and will help me make a correct judgment. I am willing to pay each of you 500 gold pounds for this."
How many? 500 gold pounds? !
Xio and Forsi opened their eyes wide at the same time and their pupils shrank. This was a reward of 500 gold pounds!
The total bounties from the missions they had done in the past were less than 500 gold pounds, right?
