Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 180 The Unique Messenger

After paying for the meal, Esther leisurely wandered around the streets of Bayam.

She didn't make any disguise today, nor did she wear a cape, but the dress she wore when she was pretending to be the red-haired lady, looking extraordinarily gentle and harmless.

Coupled with the fact that the Charisma Booster itself has a boost, she seems to be no different from the young ladies who come to Bayam for tourism, wandering around with an innocent and curious expression.

Even when Esther was picking fruit among the vendors, some patrolling soldiers reminded the young lady with a Backlund accent to be careful. They were hunting for wanted ferocious pirates, and it was best not to go out alone for a weak lady, etc.

Esther smiled and thanked the other party for her kindness, and quickly left the market with the things she bought.

"It's really underestimated..."

Esther took a bite of the rose-red apple and ate it while walking. When she passed by a bakery, she perfunctorily packed a few spiced bacon sandwiches for Danitz. In order to save costs, the store wrapped the packaged things in large plant leaves.

In the "Azure Wind" hotel, Danitz was grabbing a newspaper and squatting in front of the radio receiver, unable to go anywhere.

"Hey, your lunch."

As soon as Esther entered the door, she threw the sandwich at Danitz. After Danitz accurately caught and removed the outer layer, he couldn't help complaining:

"You were so generous yesterday, so it's easy to pick today. Will you bring me two bottles of wine when you come back this afternoon?"

Esther pointed to the telegraph: "Don't think about it, you still have a mission. Is there any movement in the newspaper? There are still many soldiers patrolling outside today."

The frowning Danitz handed her the newspaper: "You read it yourself..."

Esther quickly flipped through the newspaper, and quickly found the reason for Danitz's headache, she immediately became happy: "Oh, you are expensive!"

"What are you talking about!?"

"Five thousand five hundred gold pounds, young and promising Mr. Lie Yan, come to share with me your price increase experience?"

Danitz thumped the armrest of the easy chair twice bitterly: "This is not funny at all! If my bounty continues to increase like this, I won't even be able to get out of the door! I will be surrounded by people!"

"Then you don't go out, just to help Gehrman monitor the signal." Esther rolled her eyes, "Look, when you go to the bar and go around, you will attract a few tails that are hostile to you. If you dare to join forces to catch you, your strength will definitely not be too bad, but it's not too high, and then Gehrman and I will lie in ambush in secret. When the time comes to catch these people, won't they get their rewards?"

"Why do you sound so skilled..."

Esther shrugged: "Because this was our plan before, now that I think about it, it's much more suitable for you to be the bait than me."

Danitz thought about it for a few seconds: "Then what if the opponent has too many people and we are surrounded instead?"

"I can leave you and run away."

"Shit! I shouldn't have listened to your bullshit!" Danitz stared at Esther in disgust, gnawed on the sandwich very rudely, and made up his mind to ignore her.

Gehrman was as cold as a rock and crazy as hell, and Hamel was full of strange words that made people uncertain about her sincerity. Her superficial kindness and easy-going were just a disguise!

Of course, Esther couldn't hear the slander in Danitz's heart. Even if she knew, she wouldn't care. She flipped through the rest of the newspaper and saw the news that many pirates had been arrested, as well as notices against local "lawbreakers".

"I may meet the second officer of the 'Clover' in two days, and I don't know what kind of person it will be."

"You really agreed to their entrustment. Could it be that he is coming to Bayam?"

Esther nodded: "I hope he is a person who is easy to deceive."

"You are really insidious."

"I'm just saying that, but it doesn't mean I'm really going to lie to them. I just made a request to visit their ship."

This time, Danitz's vision became more subtle: "Aren't you desperate? What's the difference between this and paddling a sampan into a storm!?"

"I'm just curious about them, very, very curious."

Esther half-closed her eyes and smiled slyly.

Danitz shook his head in disapproval: "It's best not to go. The pirate ship is the base camp of a pirate group. If they want to attack you, even if there is any notarization, they can be avoided. Maybe the other party has the means to destroy the contract. Then what's the difference between going there like this and sending you to your death?"

"That being said...but I think I should take a look."

"Then do you want to leave some inheritance to me—oh, why are you kicking me! I was just joking! You can leave it to Gehrman!"

Esther put the newspaper back on the table and took out another banana: "But what you said is quite reasonable, I have to discuss it with Gehrman."

Later, Klein also returned to "Azure Wind". After he read Mr. Azik's reply to "Personal Messenger", Esther proposed that she "want to visit the 'Clover'".

To Esther's bewilderment, after hearing her plan, Klein didn't clearly express his approval or disapproval. Instead, he asked her to wait a while, and then went back to the house without knowing what to do.

Danitz raised his eyebrows proudly: "Look, let me tell you, even Gehrman doesn't support you doing this, but he didn't say it directly."

Esther let out a dejected "tch".

But not long after, Klein came to the living room again and handed Esther a few charms.

His face looked a little tired:

"This kind can get close to marine life and drive them freely. This kind can make people breathe and move underwater, and the time limit is half an hour, but you can try to extend the time. They are all launched with 'storm' in ancient Hermes."

"I'll be very embarrassed if you do this..." As Esther said, she quickly stuffed four charms into her satchel, "When I get the reward from the other party, I can give you two hundred gold coins!"

"No need." Klein shook his head with a straight face. He just used the "Scepter of the Sea God" to make a few charms, which didn't cost him much.

Esther was very firm: "No, no, I still want it! I can't take this thing for nothing."

Esther keenly captured the helpless smile in Klein's eyes, even though he still said expressionlessly: "Whatever you want."

-

On Thursday afternoon, Klein returned to the "Blue Wind" hotel from the idle warehouse.

He raised his head and looked up. For some reason, several seagulls were squatting on the roof and standing in a row, huddled together curiously.

Soon Klein knew why. As he approached the door, he vaguely heard the sound of a harmonica. Esther was playing an old song, which seemed to be called "Starlight" or something, and Klein felt strange.

The scope of my hometown is really wide...

When he opened the door and entered the room, Klein saw Danitz sitting quietly in the easy chair, patting time with his palms on his knees.

Esther stopped after playing the song, and greeted Klein: "I went to the pier today to watch people fishing, and I came back early because their harvest was too bad. Danitz said that he didn't receive any signal from 'Admiral of Blood' today."

Klein hung his top hat and coat on the coat rack and asked, "Well, is there any paper and pen?"

Esther dug out something from the drawer and handed it to Klein: "Do you have something to record?"

Klein quickly wrote a few lines, and then handed it to Esther. Danitz next to him also moved his head curiously, and Klein didn't stop his move.

"A spirit wandering in emptiness, a friendly creature that can be driven, a messenger that belongs exclusively to Gehrman Sparrow... Is it the spell that summons your messenger?"

Esther was a little pleasantly surprised. This way, even if the two of them are not together, she can easily contact Klein, so she no longer has to worry about losing contact!

Then Klein suddenly added: "Ceremony, one gold coin at a time."

Esther stared at him for a few seconds, not ashamed to express the confusion and doubts in her heart: Why is your messenger also a money fan?

Esther looked at these spells again, feeling itchy in her heart: "I also want my own messenger, it looks so convenient."

"There is a chance."

Klein knew that Esther didn't necessarily want to contact anyone. He was the most likely person she would write letters to. Esther simply thought that "there was a messenger" was very interesting.

I don't know if Esther will give up this idea after seeing Miss Messenger's four heads.Klein recalled the strange creatures he had seen in the spirit world, and was a little curious about what kind of messenger Esther could summon.

Klein also briefly explained the flow of two specific ceremonies, including the spells needed to summon spirit world creatures.This made Danitz next to him show disdain for Esther. He didn't expect "Hamel" to be so mysterious and a novice in ritual magic.

"That's just right! When I go to the 'Clover' to visit the captain, I don't have to worry about not being able to contact you." Esther didn't look at Danitz's expression at all, and happily stuffed the note with the spell into the interlayer of the satchel.

But in this way, the method of leaving a message agreed with Miss Sharron at that time seems to be meaningless.Hope she doesn't mind...

-

the next day.

It was a Friday morning, and Esther and Klein stepped out of the "Blue Wind" together, leaving Danitz with an aggrieved face to continue guarding the radio receiver.

Esther was going to the "Tiana Café" to meet the second officer of the "Clover" today. Out of some indescribable premonition, she directly packed the suitcase.

Klein will continue to look for opportunities to play the "Faceless Man" and secretly fulfill the wishes of some "Sea God" believers. It may take a few months for him to digest it before he can prepare to be promoted to the next rank.

Even when Danitz wasn't around, Klein strictly followed the performance of "Gehrman", with a cold face between his words and deeds: "Let me know if there is anything."

In fact, Klein ran into the gray mist last night, grabbed the ball of light and performed a few divinations for Esther, and he was relieved after ensuring that her actions were not dangerous.

Esther nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile, I've kept your spells well. There are so many practical effects in the sea, it's enough to walk sideways."

Klein pressed his top hat: "Be careful."

"Of course, you too, don't take too much risk."

The two said goodbye at the intersection and walked in different directions.
