Chapter 249: Followers of the Mother Goddess?

Shaking the Mountain to Scare the Tiger

Divine Guidance?

Hastur's previously lazy gaze instantly sharpened. The god worshipped by the Abraham family?

This must be related to Mr. Door, but Mr. Door has not yet become a god and would not issue such an oracle to the Abraham family.

Only the Fallen Mother Goddess would issue such an oracle to the members of the Abraham family!

Does she know that I am a follower of the Stars?

"Divine guidance? Which god do you worship?"

Morey Abraham grinned and said, "I am a follower of the Mother Goddess, and you are a follower of the Stars. The god has sent me to convey goodwill."

Goodwill?

Goodwill, my foot!

If she knew that I was the Stars, she would definitely go all out to hold a divine descent.

Fortunately, she only knows one of my identities. It seems that when I eradicated the two strongholds of the Moss Ascetic Order last time, she learned that I was a follower of the Stars.

Of course, it is also possible that this person is bluffing, as I have never admitted to being a follower of the Stars nor shown any strange behavior.

"Bullshit! How dare you question my faith in the Goddess!"

Hastur instantly became furious, shouting loudly, leaving Morey Abraham at a loss.

But he still firmly said, "baran Hastur Campbell, stop bluffing. You are a follower of the Stars!"

Hastur sneered, took the cane beside him, drew out the sword hidden inside, and shouted towards the door, "Guards, seize this blasphemer who dares to desecrate the Goddess!"

The guards outside the door quickly opened the door and rushed in.

Morey Abraham did not show any panic on his face. Just as he was about to say something, Hastur directly thrust his sword at him, muttering, "How dare you question my faith in the Goddess, you damned thing. How dare you desecrate the Goddess, you deserve to be pierced by an ice pillar!"

The guards also surrounded him, ready to capture this assassin who suddenly appeared in the carriage.

"You!"

Morey Abraham dared not stay any longer, opened a portal, and hurriedly teleported out of the carriage.

Hastur slashed at the air a few times, looked at the guards with dissatisfaction, and angrily scolded, "What are you standing here for? Go and find that assassin who intended to attack a count!"

"Search every carriage, do not let any suspicious person go!"

Since things had developed to this point, Hastur decided to use this opportunity to shake the mountain and scare the tiger.

After all, there were clergy members of the Night Goddess Church and extraordinary individuals sent by the royal family on this steam train. Even if something really happened, they would step in to resolve it.

After the guards left, Hastur closed the door, his angry expression disappeared, and he sat down, pouring himself a cup of marquis tea.

"Meow?"

aisala looked at Hastur with a puzzled expression, as if to confirm whether the person who just cursed was really her elegant master.

"You don't understand, this is called strategy."

Hastur explained with a smile, looking at the mirror on the table. In the mirror, Sharon's figure appeared.

"Are you a follower of the Stars?"

Obviously, she had heard what Morey Abraham said just now and was not so easily fooled.

"Sort of."

"This is very dangerous, you shouldn't have told me the answer."

"Because I believe Miss Sharon won't do anything to harm me."

Sharon was silent for a while before saying, "I didn't see or hear anything tonight."

After speaking, her figure disappeared from the mirror.

Hastur reminded Sharon not to go out and investigate casually, then focused on the matter just now.

Morey Abraham, an extraordinary member of the Abraham family, had become a follower of the Fallen Mother Goddess. Does this mean that some members of the Abraham family have also become followers of the Fallen Mother Goddess?

"It doesn't seem to be a big deal."

Hastur thought carefully and realized that he didn't need to worry about the Fallen Mother Goddess.

Although the Fallen Mother Goddess's status and power were above the Mother Tree of Desire, her influence in the real world was clearly inferior to the Mother Tree of Desire.

The Mother Tree of Desire controlled the Hedonistic Sect of the Rose School, had a Sequence 1 god's offspring, and cooperated with the Lord of the Stars, with many subordinates.

In contrast, the Fallen Mother Goddess had only successfully corrupted Mr. Door and Roselle.

But Mr. Door was discovered and isolated by the Night Goddess and other true gods in time, and Roselle himself was still resisting the corruption of the Fallen Mother Goddess.

In other words, the Fallen Mother Goddess's two trump cards could only play their roles if they actively approached her.

The Fallen Mother Goddess had no organization under her, only occasionally influencing extraordinary individuals through her status related to the Mother and the Moon.

But currently, Lilith still held the relevant authority, and Lilith would naturally counter the influence of the Fallen Mother Goddess.

In this way, the Fallen Mother Goddess's influence in reality was very limited.

Thinking of this, Hastur felt much more at ease. Even if the Fallen Mother Goddess confirmed that he was a follower of the Stars, it would be difficult for her to send powerful extraordinary individuals to target him.

"I still need to plan to develop the evil god's offspring with Mr. A into a follower of the Stars, so that I have real combat power under my command."

"After the new year, I can also summon Bernadette back from the southern continent, ensuring my safety in Southwell County."

Hastur seriously considered these matters that were difficult to speak of.

...

"Routine inspection, show your tickets and identification, quickly!"

At around four in the morning, the guards, together with the police officers on the steam train, began a detailed search of each carriage.

Although many passengers complained, they had to cooperate with the inspection.

Some extraordinary individuals who sneaked onto the steam train without tickets or identification turned pale and began to think of countermeasures.

Although they were extraordinary individuals, most of them were Sequence 8 or Sequence 7 and did not want to confront the armed police officers. There were powerful extraordinary individuals guarding the train last night, and many clergy members were also on board.

"All passengers without identification or ticket records must get off at the next stop to buy tickets and pay a fine."

A sudden voice defused the potential conflict.

If these extraordinary individuals were not given a way out, a conflict would surely erupt.

The restless extraordinary individuals suppressed their desire to fight and allowed the police officers to conduct their inspections.

Crestai Sesima, who was about to suppress the chaotic situation, continued to pretend to sleep.

Ince Zangwill also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had bought a ticket and had fake identification, he did not want to cause a big incident.

After this routine inspection, the atmosphere on the steam train became much quieter.

At eight in the morning, the guards reported back to Hastur, saying they had not found the assassin from last night.

Hastur scolded them harshly and then closed the door.

He knew that these people couldn't find an extraordinary individual of the Door pathway.

If he hadn't wanted to hide his strength last night, Morey Abraham would not have escaped.

By setting a rule prohibiting teleportation, he could have nullified most of his extraordinary abilities.

With Sharon's help, it would have been easy to capture him.

But it wasn't necessary. Who knew how many powerful beings were hiding on this steam train? It was better to stay quiet.

Hastur washed up, and the attendants brought a sumptuous breakfast.

Hastur carried the tray to the mirror, sat down, and whispered, "Miss Sharon, would you like to taste some delicacies?"

"No need."

A cold voice came from the mirror.

"Meow?"

aisala, holding a small silver fish in her mouth, walked over, placed the fish in front of the mirror, and pushed it with her paw.

"It seems aisala likes you very much. She is not so generous with me."

"Meow."

aisala gave Hastur a disdainful look, as if to say, "Even if I gave it to you, would you eat it?"

Sharon's figure slowly emerged from the mirror, sat opposite Hastur, and held aisala in her arms, feeding her the small silver fish.

"Meow."

aisala lay in Sharon's arms, pawing at the small silver fish and eating it happily, while Sharon gently stroked her head.

Hastur enjoyed his meal while appreciating the harmonious scene before him.

...

At night.

Hastur's carriage received another uninvited guest, not Morey Abraham from last night, but Moraka, Seraphina's daughter, who had once tried to assassinate him.

Moraka entered through the slightly open window, just like Mr. A, disliking the front door.

Moraka's arrival brightened aisala's eyes, but she still lay obediently on Hastur's lap without any unusual behavior.

Hastur did not give her a good look and said in a deep voice, "Are you here to offer an apology gift?"

"Hmph, isn't it enough that you took so many things from us?"

Moraka's face was equally gloomy.

"Did you come tonight just to show me a gloomy face?"

"..."

Moraka suppressed her anger and said coldly, "If it weren't for my sister always thinking about you, I wouldn't have come to remind you."

"Many organizations now believe you are a follower of the Stars. Take care of yourself."

After speaking, Moraka didn't want to see Hastur's annoying face any longer and merged into the shadows, leaving through the window.

"Meow."

aisala instantly became energetic, jumped off Hastur's lap, and hid in the shadows.

Her black fur naturally blended into the shadows, making it difficult to see her with the naked eye.

Hastur said with a good mood, "Little one, you learn quickly."
