Russell said nothing, grabbed a piece of black cloth from the air, and covered the ancient silver mirror.
"I have almost forgotten this feeling. I remember that I seemed to have been hit by this mirror before."
Russell thought about it carefully. He used to use this mirror as a magic mirror to answer questions. At that time, he was struck by lightning many times.
Thinking of this, Russell lifted the black cloth and stared at Arrods with an evil look, "I asked you why you are so crazy about trying to please me when you see me. It turns out that you yourself remember what you did to me."
"Is this a problem?"
"Don't think about getting away with it. You are such a black-hearted mirror. You even dared to deceive me. Do you really think I wouldn't dare to break you in half?
? ”
"Is this already a problem?"
"Haha, go ahead and chop me. Every time you chop me, I will hand you back to Klein one day later. You must miss your master very much, right?"
"Please be careful with your words, your thoughts are dangerous."
"I TM..."
……
In the southern continent, deep inside the palace of the Balam Empire, Hasta walked out of his room today and came to the courtyard to relax.
During this period of time, after Russell was resurrected, he could contribute some interesting jokes to him basically every day, allowing him to often stay in the Hall of Stars, overlooking Russell's every move.
"Master, I'm so bored." Azshara, who turned into a little black cat and was basking in the sun on the roof, jumped up and landed accurately on Hastur's shoulder.
Hastur smiled and patted Azshara's little head, "Didn't Sharon arrange some classes for you recently?"
"I don't want to learn..." Azshara flicked her tail, "I don't want to become like Susie, soaking in books all day long."
"And Miss Audrey, she seems to have been stimulated by something recently and has become as diligent in reading as Susie."
After listening to Azshara's report, Hastur smiled and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Azshara lay on Hastur's shoulder and stretched out her right front paw to guide the way. Hastur quickly arrived at the library of the royal family collection of the Balam Empire.
In the rows of bookshelves, Audrey and Susie each occupied a corner, not disturbing each other, and each silently flipped through the knowledge they wanted to acquire.
Hastur did not interrupt, but deliberately controlled his breath and footsteps, standing outside the gate and looking into the distance.
After being enlightened and guided by Hermes, Susie now has an increasingly scholarly aura about her. The pair of gold-rimmed glasses on her face added to her aura of a great scholar.
Just because of his temperament, he must be a college student.
On Audrey's side, she frowned slightly while flipping through the books. When she encountered knowledge points that were difficult to understand or could not be understood immediately, she would excerpt them on a blank paper. Moreover, the books she read were very detailed and basically belonged to the same field.
The sound of rustling books turned Hasta's interest in reading. Since coming to the Southern Continent, he has obviously turned the pages of books much less often than in Backlund.
After watching for a while, Hastur walked to the bookshelf near Audrey, selected a book "A Hundred Years of History of the Balam Empire" and came to the empty seat next to Audrey. Azshara had already ran to where Susie was. place.
"Mr. Hastur, please go to Susie's place to read so as not to affect my study." Audrey said seriously without raising her head.
"Are you starting to compete with Susie in terms of learning speed?"
"Don't talk to me, you'll be distracted." Audrey's cheeks were slightly pouted, like a little bun, which made Hastur want to poke her.
"Okay, I'll go over to Susie's side."
Before Hasta turned around to leave, Audrey put down the book in her hand, coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Hasta, since your arrival has disturbed my interest in reading, how should you compensate me?"
Hasta replied seriously: "Beautiful Miss Audrey, in order to be fair, I will also interfere with Susie's reading and distract her attention so that she cannot concentrate on studying."
“You don’t have to make it so obvious.
” Audrey’s cheeks flushed slightly. “Susie hasn’t left the library for a long time. I mean, she needs a good rest and can’t be immersed in books all the time.”
"This is undoubtedly the right and reasonable decision."
"Really?" Audrey's eyes lit up slightly.
"Of course." Hasta held Audrey's little hand, kissed the back of it, and said with a smile: "Our Miss Audrey should also take a good rest and spend some time with her lover."
"For the sake of Mr. Hastur, I will temporarily stop studying today." Audrey said with an expression of relief on her face.
A few days ago, she actually lost to Susie in knowledge, which made her realize that she needed to study hard, otherwise Susie would quickly surpass her on the road of knowledge.
So she also came to this library and began to compete with Susie.
Today is already the third day, and she does feel a little tired. She likes reading, but reading out of interest and out of competition are two completely different experiences.
But she couldn't take the initiative to admit defeat. Fortunately, Mr. Hastur came here at the critical moment.
"You, you can use Azshara more in the future. She doesn't like to see Susie studying all the time."
"Is it really useful?" Audrey leaned her head on Hastur's shoulder, tilting her head to reveal a pair of bright, obviously moving eyes.
"Of course, Azshara is the one who dislikes studying the least among you."
"Isn't this too despicable?"
"We are doing this for Susie's sake. It is not a good thing to be addicted to books all the time. You need to balance work and rest."
In the end, Audrey accepted the suggestion without much rejection after Hastur's repeated persuasion.
The two of them were in the library, cuddling up against the books for a while, when several cats meowing and a dog barking came from the other side.
"Look, Azshara is very professional when it comes to dealing with Susie."
"Aissala is great!" Audrey showed a sweet smile, her joy was beyond words, and then she pretended to be reserved and said, "I am doing this for Susie's own good."
Not long after, Susie and Azshara came to Hastur and Audrey.
"The weather is nice today, let's go out for a walk." Hastur glanced at Susie and said seriously: "Emperor Russell also has a famous saying, reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles."
"Woof!" Susie, who was originally depressed, suddenly became energetic.
……
At night, after returning from an outing, Hasta took a bath and then fell asleep with Audrey hugging each other.
Audrey snuggled into Hasta's arms, gently traced Hasta's chest with her right index finger, and whispered: "Is Mr. Hasta busy with something important?"
"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the person next to you." Hasta's arms around Audrey's waist tightened, "I am indeed making a decision."
"Can't you let go of Miss Sharon and me?"
"If something happens to you, I'm afraid I won't be able to get back in time."
"Going to such a far place?"
"Yeah, Starry Sky."
Chapter 631 Stars and God
The starry sky, filled with bright stars falling down from there, is the most beautiful scenery at night.
Audrey also dreamed of one day being able to climb up to the stars to see the beauty and magic of the stars, to stand on the stars, overlook the world, and see how it would look different.
But in the Tarot meeting, Mr. Fool once said personally that the starry sky is an absolutely dangerous place, and unspeakable terror lurks there.
Even a being like Mr. Fool is so solemn, which shows how terrifying the starry sky is.
"Although I really want to dissuade you from venturing into the stars, I also know that you have your own reasons for going to the stars." Audrey hesitated for a long time before slowly saying: "Go, I believe you will return to me safely. , Miss Sharon definitely doesn’t want to be a burden that makes you worried and concerned.”
Hasta just nodded. He had already made his choice in his heart, and speaking out now was just to reassure Audrey and Sharon.
He also thought about whether to send Sharon and Audrey to the Hall of Stars together and let them follow him to the starry sky, but in the end he gave up this idea.
Only by setting off alone can he have no worries.
"Is it difficult for high-sequence extraordinary people to give birth to the next generation?" Audrey pressed her cheek against Hastur's chest and suddenly asked.
"That's true."
"I am still a Sequence 5 Dream Walker, so I shouldn't be considered a high-Sequence Extraordinary, right?"
Hearing Audrey say such words, Hasta lowered his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth and said, "It doesn't count, but you still need to work hard to get results."
……
In the few days before Sharon came back, Hastur took Audrey, Azshara, and Susie out for fun every day, and visited many beautiful scenery in the Southern Continent.
When Sharon returned, Hastur took her to the Forsaken Land.
Sharon is now a Sequence 4 puppet, and is only one copy of the Silent Disciple's extraordinary characteristics before being promoted to Sequence 3.
Zaratul has a marionette, the Sequence 3 Silent Disciple, who is currently following him in the God-Forsaken Land to search for the extraordinary characteristics of the Mysterious Attendant.
The land abandoned by the gods, since Silver City moved away from here, the area near the Giant King's Court has seemed particularly quiet.
When Hastur and Sharon were crossing the Sea of Chaos, God looked at each other from afar below, but did not come out to meet, and just watched Hastur leave.
Zaratul's traces are very secretive, but it is not difficult to find him.
Hastur and Sharon rested in Silver City while waiting for Zaratul's arrival.
"Is this the hometown of those giants on the Rhoside Islands?" Sharon was very interested in everything about Silver City.
"They have already left here as a whole family, leaving this land that is not protected by the gods."
"There is indeed a lot of danger here. They are indeed a great ethnic group that can persist for so long."
"They still have some books that have not been completely removed. Go and have a look. I believe it will be of great benefit to you."
Hastur asked Sharon to look through the collection of books in Silver City, and he came to the three statues in the central area of Silver City.
Among them, the statue of God was built by the residents of Silver City who later returned.
While Hastur was admiring his statue, Zaratul
Appeared right in front of him.
Rather than bothering to find traces of Zaratul, Hastur thought it would be better to let Zaratul come to him.
"Are you a star?" Zaratul said with some uncertainty.
He had seen Hastur's portrait, but when he actually faced it, it was difficult for him to connect the person in front of him with the stars high above.
The gap between the two is really too big.
"Do you know what I'm thinking about right now?"
Hastur's face was smiling, but Zaratul felt a shuddering aura, even though he came to Silver City only as a clone.
