Vol 5 Chapter 257: Goodwill

"who are you?"
"Great Hasta!"
"Few people would say that they are great."
"...Hasta."
"...Where is this place?"
"A place favored by the great Hasta!"
"But you said before, this is my hell?"
"For greedy souls, this is the real hell. For those with firm beliefs, this is just a wilderness. Only those who lack reason and luck can get out of the illusion here."
Zheng Qing stood under the huge bronze door, and a man in yellow wearing a white mask stood in front of him. The two asked and answered, like the interaction between the scholar and the teacher.
If there were no tentacles hidden behind the mist squirming.
From the corner of Zheng Qing’s eyes, he caught a glimpse of the creeping shadows, and there was a tingling sensation in his eyes, as if facing the harsh cold wind in winter, which made him immediately retract his gaze and focus on the self-proclaimed Hasta. Exist.
Zheng Qing knew the name ‘Hasta’. Since blasting a descendant of Satogua in the Silent River, and then successively dealing with Nicholas and Tindalus hounds, the young public-sponsored student has made up for some taboo knowledge about the depths of the stars and is familiar with many foreign gods. Name.
Hasta is one of them.
His more widely known titles are the "King of the Yellow Clothes" and the "Lord of the Stars and Seas". It is said that Cthulhu is his brother, and Sabu Nicholas is his spouse. When mortals see him, they will suffer evil consequences. Either madness or death.
Regarding the last point, Zheng Qing remained suspicious, but would never ignore it.
He touched the amulet on his body again, felt the warmth from the amulet, and felt a little comfort in his heart: "It sounds a bit complicated... But you, are you really Hasta? According to me As you know, His Highness Hasta belongs to the stars."
This sentence vaguely reminded the other party that the starry sky is far away from the world, and there is also a powerful magic agreement to block it. The alliance will not allow an outside to live indiscriminately.
But as soon as the words were spoken, Zheng Qing immediately regretted it.
Because these are two problems.
At the same time he said this sentence, the handful of golden beans in his palm immediately disappeared. Together with the two gems that disappeared before, Zheng Qing suddenly felt distressed.
"I am Hasta, but the great Hasta is not me." The king of yellow clothes first corrected a little error in the understanding of the young wizard, and then added: "Moreover, this is a dreamland, not the real world. Not Phuket."
In addition to Zheng Qing's heartache, he felt a little more in his heart.
‘Neither is nor’ is a very clear rhetoric for the wizards-the other party is an incarnation of the great Hasta.
Although the existences wandering in the depths of the starry sky cannot descend into this world, it does not mean that they have nothing to do with reality. They may have younger generations who need to take care of them; they may have believers who worship them; they may also need to trade magic materials with the great wizards on the ground and get what they need.
The agreement between the wizard and the starry sky clearly restricted their coming.
So there is an incarnation.
It is the safest choice for many foreign gods to descend into this world with projections, incarnations and even descendants. The descendant of Satogua entrenched in the Silent River, the black goat cub that once appeared in the northern part of Beta Town, and the existence in front of him in a yellow robe belonged to this choice.
With this suddenness, Zheng Qing also recalled more about the incarnation of Hasta-about this, Zheng Qing saw two completely different statements in the book.
There is a saying that Hasta originated from the sea, so the real body has the characteristics of an octopus. It is an aquatic creature with huge tentacles, accompanied by an evil purple light that does not belong to the world. His incarnation is called the "Feaster from afar", a black flying creature with wrinkles, claws and tentacles.
In the wizarding world, most of the images of existence in the depths of the starry sky are similar to this, and the reliability is doubtful.
Another argument is that Hasta is a kind-hearted shepherd god, rags, agile but with grace that is not mortal. In this image, He sometimes incarnates a mysterious saint in a shimmering green tattered robe, known as the Emerald Lama.
Yellow robe, lama and gods, these elements of belief add up, Zheng Qing can only think of one word, Atlas. He very much suspects that there is some mysterious connection between Hasta and Atlas Academy.
But he is not a student of Atlas College, and he is not good at making relationships.
The young wizard looked up and looked around—if this is really the place favored by the great Hasta, then why did he pull himself in?
"You said before," he calculated the number of gems and gold beans in his hand, carefully glanced at the white soft mask under the yellow man's hood, and cautiously said: "I can take Zhu Si away safely. Dreamland?"
He bit the word ‘safe’ very hard.
Hasta’s avatar didn’t immediately answer ~EbookFREE.me~ He lowered his head and looked at Zheng Qing for a long time. The wizard who had been watching has hairy and cold sweat on his back, before he re-said: "If you accept My gift."
"Gift?" The wizard repeated the word uncomfortably.
The gift from the depths of the starry sky is the gift that wizards most desire and fear.
The desire is that the gifts in the depths of the starry sky are very precious, allowing an ordinary wizard to easily become a great wizard, and even a great wizard to break through the bottleneck of the legend.
Fear is because ‘all gifts from fate have been secretly priced.’ The more you gain, the more you lose—similar to the Mundell paradox in the Law of Transformation. When a wizard accepts power from the stars, he will pay the price of appearance, form, reason, and even self.
"Is there any other choice?" The young wizard asked with a hint of luck, and at the same time reminded: "My husband is very powerful, even more powerful than the ancient wizard!"
There was a strange laughter from under the white soft mask.
"This is a place outside of the law. Even Asathos, the source of all things, can't get involved." Hasta's incarnation voice became very gentle: "Your husband may be very powerful, but it is difficult to find here for a while ...And precisely because He is so powerful, you should feel more at ease with this gift, right?"
Zheng Qing suddenly felt that what the yellow-clothed man said made sense.
Since the gentleman can reverse time and space, and survive from death to life, then it should be no problem to eliminate this pollution from the depths of the stars.
and.
The corner of Zheng Qing's eyes glanced at the huge tentacles that spread around the edge of the fog and surrounded him, watching them loomingly rolling and threatening, and smiled bitterly in his heart.
He really has no other choice.
