Royal estate?
After Hastur recognized the origin and specific location of the manor, he withdrew his gaze to spy on the fate.
Lockhard is hiding in the royal family's estate. This is not surprising news.
Because the king of the Kingdom of Loen is cooperating with the Twilight Hermits, maybe the assassination of Duke Negan was also tacitly approved by the king, or he offered to just use the help of the Twilight Hermits to help him eliminate his targets.
In the new wave of the times, a powerful and established noble like Duke Negan is indeed a hindrance.
This Lockhard is an Extraordinary person on the Black Emperor path. He may be loyal only to the king and initially stayed with Duke Negan just to monitor his every move.
"One more reason to oppose George III becoming the Black Emperor."
Hastur murmured and turned his gaze to the star where Adam was.
Adam still guarded his small church and had no plans to go out, which frustrated Hastur's hope that he would convene a meeting of the Twilight Hermits.
Then he turned slightly and looked at the light spot where Mr. A was selected by the True Creator.
At this moment, Mr. A was kneeling in front of the statue of the Hanged Man. In front of him, there was a red copper coffin, with faint fluctuations of divinity coming from inside.
The divinity extracted from Lanruth?
The breath of new life is getting stronger and stronger, and there is a possibility of being born into the world at any time.
It should be during this period that the despair smog incident caused by the witch of despair gave it a huge amount of nourishment.
"Can I turn this unborn descendant of the evil god into my believer?"
An idea suddenly came to Hastur's mind. In his observation, although the divine power in the coffin came from the true Creator, it had not yet begun to give birth to its own consciousness, and the consciousness of the True Creator had not yet fallen into it. on the body.
This means that at this moment it is just an unconscious puppet with great power.
If it were to be baptized by the power of the stars from this moment on, would it be possible for it to become a believer in the stars?
But doing so will inevitably attract the attention of the true Creator.
Although he has secret authority, he may not be able to hide this matter from the true Creator.
After all, my rank is still a bit low. If I am already a rank 2 angel, then with the power of the Hall of Stars, I should be able to hide myself from the prying eyes of the true Creator.
"It's not like there's no way to solve it."
Naturally, one's own secret authority cannot hide the truth.
Creator, but according to the Goddess of Night, even if the real Creator knew what He was hiding, He would not tear His face off and forcefully spy on Him.
Because now the true Creator and Adam are pretending to be weak, one is pretending to be crazy, the other is pretending to be paranoid, so as to relax the vigilance of the three gods of the eternal sun, storm, knowledge and wisdom.
This is exactly what Hastur can take advantage of.
Let Mr. A carry the coffin containing divine power to the vicinity of St. Samuel's Church, and then use the power of the Hall of Stars to baptize the new life with stars. Maybe it can really make it completely loyal to the stars as soon as it is born and become a star. True believers in the stars.
The more Hastur thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was very feasible. The only risk he had to take was Mr. A.
Transporting the coffin containing the divine power of the true Creator to the vicinity of St. Samuel's Church is a great challenge. If you are not careful, Mr. A will die for this plan.
But with Mr. A’s level of madness, he would not refuse such a challenge.
Hastur thought for a while, and decided to wait. He would take a peek at the relevant fate first, and wait until he left Backlund before taking action.
Even if something unexpected happened, it would have nothing to do with him in South Wales.
Withdrawing his gaze, Hastur scanned the bright stars as usual and found nothing unusual.
He stretched out his hand to summon the fourth chain of order, gently stroked the slightly warm chain, and began to think about which appropriate rule to formulate.
The first chain of order is the foundation of order, which includes the path of judgment and gives him the ability to formulate rules.
The second chain of order is destiny, the eyes that peer into destiny.
The third chain of order is secret and belongs to the path of night.
This time, he wanted to extend his tentacles into the extraordinary realm where the true Creator and Adam reside.
The extraordinary paths to choose from are: Audience of Adam, Secret Prayer of the True Creator, Sailor of the Storm, Omniscient Knowledge, and the Path of the Sun.
Hastur ruled out the path of the true Creator from the beginning, because the extraordinary abilities of this path were of little use to him.
Aurora Society Extraordinaries like Mr. A, who have been exposed to everything related to the True Creator since the beginning of Sequence 9 Secret Prayer, are easily contaminated by the True Creator.
The shepherds, the most powerful among the demigods, are also dispensable to Hastur. They herd the souls of extraordinary people to obtain related extraordinary abilities, and their behavior at this moment is equivalent to a luxurious and enhanced version of the shepherd. people.
Hastur also doesn't like the two paths of storm and knowledge very much.
In the end, his only goals were the Audience Path and the Sun Path.
The audience is the son of the version. Before it is weakened, it is definitely the best choice.
It just so happened that he met the Twilight Hermit again. This extraordinary path really met his current needs.
The future of the Sun Path is promising, and choosing it may usher in a comeback in the later stages.
Especially when the Super Star Lord gradually swallows up the power and authority of the Eternal Blazing Sun.
If we can catch up, it's hard to say whose hands the sun will be in.
And the sun is also one of the stars,
It can also be considered as part of one’s own authority.
Hastur thought again and again and chose the sun path.
Night first, then sun, a very balanced choice.
After thinking about the idea, the next step is to formulate descriptive words for the relevant rules.
There is no need to rush this, you can take your time.
……
Backlund's story about Duke Negan's assassination is still fermenting.
But even though many Beyonders were searching in secret, they couldn't find any trace of Lockhard.
Xio sighed repeatedly as she walked on the streets of Queens. In order to get the huge bounty, she came to Queens to look for relevant clues, but she couldn't find anything.
The expenses here are expensive, so she couldn't even afford to eat lunch here. She could only bring some snacks with her and have a big meal when she returned home in the evening.
Just when she was feeling depressed, a carriage stopped in front of her. She subconsciously looked up and quickly recognized the origin of the carriage.
"Get in the car."
Xio nodded, got on the carriage, opened the curtain and walked in. The person inside was indeed Mr. Hastur.
"Mr. Hasta, I didn't expect to meet you here."
“I live nearby.”
"..."
Quinn felt that his first words were stupid.
"Are you here for the huge bounty on the Negan family?"
"Well, Mr. Hastur want to get involved as well?"
Xio perked up all of a sudden. She would be happy to find a partner.
"I know some clues, but it's hard to investigate."
"clue!"
Xio's eyes suddenly lit up. The Negan family offered a huge reward. Even just a useful clue could be worth hundreds of gold pounds!
If the assassin can be found, there will be an even more generous reward.
"Mr. Hastur wants to cooperate with me?" Xio quickly straightened his posture.
"I guess so. I'll provide you with a piece of information and you'll be responsible for investigating it. If the information is true, we can split the reward equally."
"No, no, 30% of the bounty is enough for me."
Xio was very self-aware and knew that Mr. Hasta was specifically giving her a business deal.
Otherwise, he could have hired someone else to do it instead of working in partnership.
"No, just split it equally. The reward should be consistent with the risk."
"Is this task difficult?" Xio's heart skipped a beat and he felt a little scared.
"This is the assassin's detailed information. You can read it first and then decide whether to cooperate with me."
Hastur handed Hugh the internal information from Greg.
This information comes from MI9 and is private information. It is basically impossible for a wild extraordinary person like Xio to see it.
Many people only think about the huge bounty offered by the Negan family, but they don’t know how strong the assassin is.
"Sequence 5!"
When Xio saw the key information, she screamed in surprise. A being like that could crush her to death with just one finger, but she still gritted her teeth and read through all the information.
Even if she refused this cooperation, she could sell it for a good price just based on the content of this information.
After reading and memorizing it, Xio's face changed slightly, and he said in a difficult tone: "Mr. Hastur, the opponent is a Sequence 5 strongman. If the mission is too dangerous, I can't risk my life."
A huge amount of gold pounds is indeed tempting, but it also depends on whether you have the life to enjoy this wealth.
"The task is not too difficult, and you don't even need to show up in person."
"Really?" Xio's eyes lit up again.
"I suspect the assassin is hiding in a royal manor. You just need to spread the news and induce the church to search the royal manor."
I'm good at this!
Isn't it just spreading news and rumors? It's professionally related.
Xio was really tempted. She only needed to carefully hide her whereabouts and pretend to accidentally leak the news to achieve this goal.
No, no, she could sell the news and the contents of the document multiple times, so that she could get a hard-earned fee regardless of success or failure.
When she spoke her mind, Hastur approved of her actions and told her to be careful and not to rush into things.
"Don't worry, I'm very good at disguising my identity." Xio smiled happily and confidently.
Hastur looked her up and down and understood why it was easier to paint on blank paper.
