Chapter 98: The king in yellow
This sentence made Hastur feel a chill down his spine, his body stiffened, and a cold sensation crept up his back.
He never expected that he was the original instigator of Voltaire's bad luck in gambling.
No, not him.
It was the original master!
At the time of his birth, he had not yet traveled to the lord of the mysterious world, bringing all the changes, changing Voltaire's luck and fate - it was the original master! The original master always complained about Voltaire gambling away his fortune and even angering his mother to death, but in the end, the root cause was himself! What kind of filial piety is this!
The name Hastur, the original master, was probably already laden with fate from the beginning.
Could it be that the original master died because he couldn't bear the fate, and then was replaced by himself?
But why should he bear this fate? Hastur asked hoarsely, "Why do you know so much about Voltaire's life?"
"At the time of your birth, fate had already changed, and it was then that I noticed you. As for Voltaire, I just observed him incidentally."
Will Auceptin waved his hand and said, "There are so many babies born every day in Beckland. If it weren't for a disturbance in fate, I wouldn't bother observing a newborn baby."
"What fate do I carry?"
"I'm not sure, I don't know."
Will Auceptin thought for a moment and then added, "I dare not probe, for fear of being affected by the fate you carry."
"Does Ulysses also know that there is something unusual about my fate?"
"That foolish snake doesn't know. He wasn't in Beckland at that time. Only I, who was in Beckland, could feel the subtle changes in fate."
Mentioning Ulysses, Will's mood became even more pleasant.
He and Ulysses had been playing hide and seek for who knows how long, usually with him hiding and Ulysses chasing after him.
Now, hidden in Beckland, he was the first to know the changes in fate.
And that foolish snake is probably still by the side of the true Creator, being a good baby.
In this game of fate, he had already taken the lead.
"If It encounters me, Will AuceptinIt notice the anomaly on me?"
"Face to face, yes. From a distance, no."
"Why?"
"You have something on you that can conceal fate. If I hadn't noticed you at the beginning of your birth, I wouldn't be able to detect your anomaly."
Having unraveled some doubts, Hastur's heavy mood lightened considerably.
"Are those who hide in the shadows and possess extraordinary fate your subordinates or members of the Aurora Society?"
"Neither."
"Just a group of ordinary extraordinaries?"
"Not that either."
Will Auceptindenied Hastur's guesses one after another, then said with a serious tone, "They call themselves The king in yellows."
The king in yellow? Hastur repeated the name twice, his expression instantly froze, his mouth dry, and a bone-chilling coldness spread throughout his body.
If before, he only suspected a connection with the King in Yellow.
Now, he was certain that Hastur Campbell was indeed fatefully linked to the King in Yellow, and the connection was deep! Not just fate, perhaps even life and soul were connected!
Because The king in yellows were the followers of Hastur, their self-proclaimed title! Hastur, still not giving up, asked, "What are the characteristics of these The king in yellow?"
"They like to wear yellow robes, and they often have a yellow mark carved on the back of their hands. As for the rest, I'm not very clear."
"Those guys are cunning, and I suspect they are not just ordinary extraordinaries of fate."
"I don't want to attract too much trouble."
Will Auceptinspread his hands for the last time, indicating that was all the information he had.
Hehe, that information is enough!
Liking to wear yellow, chasing after the yellow mark, they are definitely followers of the King in Yellow! They are indeed not just ordinary paths of fate; their path does not belong to the current twenty-two extraordinary paths.
But from the path of the Outer Gods where the King in Yellow resides!
The power of fate is only a part of this path, and it might not even be the main extraordinary ability.
Hastur was silent for a long time, a smile gradually appearing on his face. This was better, clear and straightforward, saving him the trouble of always guessing and wasting brain cells.
"Do you know about The king in yellows?"
Seeing Hastur's unusual expression, Will Auceptinlooked at him curiously.
"I do have some understanding."
"It seems you have a deep bond with their fate."
"Indeed, very deep."
Entangled together, it's almost hard to tell who is who.
"You should be careful, I have a bad feeling about those people."
"I will."
Hastur smiled and did not continue the topic.
"Anything else you want to ask?"
Will Auceptingave Hastur a look, signaling that he could ask the most crucial question now.
Regarding his own fate, he no longer needed to inquire from Will.
And the information Will Auceptinknew was probably not as much as his.
Hastur thought for a moment and said, "Do you know about something that fell from the depths of the starry sky?"
"I only know a little."
Will Auceptinsaid gravely, "Something once descended from the depths of the starry sky, and it landed in Beckland, which is why I know about this matter."
"But when that thing reached Beckland, it completely vanished without a trace, and I couldn't probe where it was."
"Even if it appeared in front of me now, I probably wouldn't be able to recognize it."
Will Auceptinstared intently at Hastur, clearly conveying his true thoughts.
A gift from the stars, Hastur's unusual birth, both located in Beckland, and both related to fate, it's hard not to connect the two.
If Hastur didn't know that the golden box had not been opened, he would definitely suspect that thing was on him, and might even guess that it was the Hall of Stars.
But he was certain that what was inside the golden box was definitely not the Hall of Stars! If the King in Yellow possessed the Hall of Stars, would He need to send something across the starry sky? With the power of the Hall of Stars, it's possible to bypass the initial barrier and do some extraordinary things.
"That group who call themselves The king in yellow, they gathered in Beckland only after that thing descended."
Will Auceptingave Hastur a reminder, to prepare him mentally.
"Do you know what that thing looks like?"
"I'm not sure…"
Will Auceptinshowed an embarrassed smile and whispered, "I just have a feeling, I haven't witnessed it myself, and I don't dare to rashly probe into related matters."
So even Will, the darling of fate, doesn't know that thing is the golden box.
Hastur looked up at the ceiling and murmured, "Everything in Beckland is watched over by the gods, can They know all this?"
Will Auceptinlowered his voice and said, "Except for the evernight goddess who might notice, other beings are hard to discern."
"That belongs to the domain of fate, and They do not possess the authority of fate."
"Plus, They are far from Beckland, in this regard, They can't compare to me."
Will Auceptinwas quite proud of this point.
To him, at his level of existence, the gods are to be wary of, but they are no longer an untouchable subject.
"Why is it that only the evernight goddess might notice?"
Hastur was curious; the Goddess of evernight goddess seemed to be a step ahead in many aspects.
"Because Her gaze is always watching here."
Will Auceptingave his answer.
"Although you are quite special, you should not delve too deeply into these matters, otherwise, it's easy to encounter danger."
Will Auceptinwarned, to prevent Hastur from continuing to inquire about the Goddess of evernight goddess.
With his current Sequence 8 strength, there's a big gap from the divine beings, and the more he learns in advance, the more dangerous it becomes.
"I'll be careful."
Hastur has always been cautious about this, only when he reaches the Hall of Stars Will Auceptinhe consider issues at the divine level.
Today, it's also because Will Auceptinis here that he dares to be bold.
"Anything else you want to know?"
Will Auceptinplanned to answer Hastur's questions all at once, to save himself from being bothered repeatedly.
Meeting once by fate is enough; too many encounters can easily trigger a chain reaction of fate.
It's safer to meet in dreams, otherwise, a noble frequently coming here would easily arouse suspicion in others.
"No more questions for now."
"That's good, moderation is a fine quality."
Will Auceptinwas satisfied with Hastur's response, which saved him a lot of talking and time.
He stood up, placed the toy bear on the sofa, went to the door, and urged, "Hurry up and go."
"Are you sending me off already?"
"Didn't you say you were going to treat me to ice cream?"
"Didn't you say that staying with me is not a good thing?"
"Enjoying ice cream can be an exception."
Hastur stood up smiling, leading Will Auceptinout the door and onto the carriage.
Under the influence of Will's extraordinary abilities, the coachman did not notice that there was an extra child on the carriage.
In his fate, there was no intersection with Will AuceptinAnsett, the little boy.
Not in the past, not now, and not in the future.
