Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 183 The Lord of Four-Leaf Clover

Amidst Mary's loud cursing, Esther and Alexander also climbed onto the "Clover" along the rope ladder.

The short brown-haired middle-aged man who stood at the bow of the boat and called out to the three of them before was being baptized by Mary's saliva, and obediently bowed his head to listen to the training with a straight face.A group of sailors surrounded them in the distance. Although they all dared not come over, it was always pleasant to gloat and see people being taught a lesson by Mary.

After seeing Esther, the brown-haired middle-aged man finally found an excuse to run away from Mary. His appearance is quite handsome, with high cheekbones making his face look longer, and his gray-green eyes are very agile:

"Oh, oh, you are the honored guest that the captain always talks about after divination, right? Welcome to the 'Clover'!"

The other party still spoke Intis language. Although Esther could understand it, she couldn't speak it, so she had to respond in Loen language:

"Hi, just call me Hamel."

The middle-aged man immediately changed his language, and shook hands with Esther twice: "Ah, sorry, we sometimes communicate in Intis, are you from Backlund?"

"People from Tingen also stayed in Backlund for a long time." Esther replied with a smile.

According to the time she spent waking up in this world, the proportion of time she spent in Backlund was quite long.

"I am Thomas, the princess' first mate."

"Hello, Mr. Thomas, I heard you say princess before, does it mean the 'Clover'?"

Thomas grinned in embarrassment, which made deep nasolabial folds appear on his extraordinarily long cheeks: "Yes, because she has a very temperamental temper. The captain said she was like a spoiled princess, and we often called her that."

Alexander was the last one to climb up, and the blue light on the outer layer of his box quickly subsided after leaving the sea water, and quickly returned to its original appearance without any special features.

Alexander shook the water off his thick glasses: "What about Aaron? Take our guest to see him, maybe she can help Aaron."

"Her?" Thomas glanced at Esther suspiciously.

Esther was wringing the sea water from her hair, and the three of them were soaked from top to bottom.

Mary also came over, and threw her wig on Thomas's face unceremoniously: "Let's change your clothes first, Hamel, come with me."

Alexander put the glasses back on the bridge of his nose, but his vision was still blurred: "Alright, you can take her to find an empty room. The things inside your box should be fine, and the ability of 'buoyancy bubbles' can prevent water from entering."

Esther picked up the suitcase and followed Mary into the cabin.

Thomas immediately turned to Alexander, and then switched back to Intis: "How is it, she signed the contract honestly?"

Alexander also used the Intis language when replying, deliberately lowering his voice: "Very honest, sometimes even so sincere that she doesn't look like a 'stealer'. She is a very well-behaved girl, and does not match the rumored 'stealer''s bad behavior and character. I wrote the sentences when signing the contract first, and I did not leave her a chance to cheat."

Thomas touched his chin: "Can you be sure that she really has the ability? Just don't be deceived by her appearance."

Alexander smiled again: "You can try, she can know the idea of ​​being stolen. So you'd better restrain yourself, lest she find out your suspicion and hostility."

"Tsk, don't make me sound like a villain..."

-

A moment later, Esther changed into another spare set of clothes.

This bedroom is not big, similar to the second-class cabin that Esther lived in on the "White Agate", but it is a little more spacious, and a set of tables and chairs can barely be stuffed, and the wardrobe is just a few wooden boards nailed directly to the wall.

Just in time, Mary also knocked on Esther's door: "Let's go, let's go see the captain."

At this moment, the hull shook violently.

Mary cursed suddenly, and then yelled at Esther: "Hurry up! I really don't understand why the 'Clover' is so noisy today!"

Esther mourned for two seconds, hoping it wasn't because of her.

Following Mary all the way to the door of the captain's cabin, Esther heard a senseless howl coming from inside.

The voice sounded quite sad, and Esther couldn't help pointing at the door and asked Mary: "Your captain...is your mental state okay?"

"It's okay, he's always been like this."

Mary didn't have much expression, she seemed to be used to it, she knocked hard on the door twice, pushed the door and walked into the captain's cabin:

"Captain! Our guests have arrived!"

Esther walked in after Mary, and saw a man with dark hair and a cropped head, with deep features. He was wearing a dark red coat with fringed shoulders. There was a small old burn scar on the left side of his face.

The man was vigorously tearing off a turquoise crystal ball inlaid on the wall. There were also burn marks on the back of the hand exposed from the cuff. His gray eyes were full of anger that could not be vented, but the moment he turned his head and saw Esther, all emotions disappeared from his eyes.

The man let go of the turquoise crystal ball, leaned weakly on the wall, and stumbled towards Esther by the door.His eyes seemed to be out of focus, and they were shining with excitement, gradually overflowing with joy and longing:

"It turns out to be like this, so what I saw was such an omen! Who are you? Light, light..."

Esther jumped up and quickly dodged behind Mary: "Your captain is really not in a good state of mind!"

"I've never seen him like this. He usually says strange things at most. Aaron! Be sober!" Mary stepped forward and shook the man's shoulder vigorously.

But the other party didn't respond, still staring at Esther closely, unable to look away at all.

Mary was also very distressed: "Why don't you go out first?"

Esther quickly walked out of the captain's cabin, not forgetting to close the door tightly.

What kind of thing is this... But recalling the man's expression just now, Esther can basically be sure that Captain Aaron is a "monster" or a Beyonder of the "fate" path.

Only they are so sensitive to the presence of "light" in themselves.

After three minutes, Mary poked her head out of the room and said, "You can come in now, the captain has calmed down."

Esther stepped into the captain's room again and found that Captain Aaron's face was covered with a book, including the next process of shaking hands and introducing himself. The book on his face was never taken off, completely blocking his sight.

"It's an honor to meet you... Light."

Esther's smile was a bit forced: "You can call me Hamel, Hamel Brook."

"I'm sorry, I really don't know what to call you. I see something in you that I've never seen before. I'm Aaron Drasco, the captain of the 'Clover'. You can call me Aaron just like them."

When the two shook hands, Aaron just flinched twice, then immediately withdrew his hand, pressing the book tightly against his face: "If you have any requests, you can ask them, and the 'Clover' will give you the same authority as mine..."

"Captain!? Are you serious?" Mary next to her was shocked. She had never heard such an outrageous request.

Esther also frowned. The captain's attitude was too strange: "I don't need it. A ship can only have one captain. This is the law of life at sea, isn't it? I'm just here to complete the commission."

Aaron was silent for several seconds, took a deep breath and continued: "Yes, yes, it is a commission. But why are you a 'stealer'? I clearly saw..."

"That bothers me too," Esther rubbed her head. "We'd better not discuss it in depth. Have you really calmed down?"

A longer silence.

Esther sighed, and turned to the embarrassed Mary next to her: "I'd better go out first, and if Mr. Aaron really calms down, you can call me again."

"Ah, okay..." Mary was the most bewildered of the three, and immediately accepted Esther's reasonable proposal.

When Esther walked to the door, Aaron said again: "Miss Hamel."

"what?"

"There is a disaster on you, a red disaster, that is an omen I can't understand. If it wasn't for the existence of light, maybe I would have died out of control the moment I saw it."

Esther was stunned, and she wrote down Aaron's words: "I see, thank you for reminding me."

"We will go to Dirinius Island to replenish enough supplies for the voyage, and then go to Behrens Port in West Balam." Aaron put down the book in his hand a little, and his gray eyes seemed to light up. "Would you like to come with us? I have a hunch that this voyage will be beneficial to both of us."

"Benefits? Although I really don't have anything to do, I can stay on the ship," Esther leaned against the door, looking at the other party suspiciously, "but I can't think of any benefits for me. I can't control your entire fleet, Captain Aaron."

Aaron blocked the book in front of his eyes again, blocking the line of sight that intersected with Esther:

"We will all know, and fate will naturally give the answer, Miss Hamel."

What a good magician said, on the contrary, made people even more curious. There are so many things he concealed...

After thinking for two seconds, Esther nodded and left the captain's room without saying anything.

Mary hurried forward to close the door of the captain's cabin, Aaron heaved a sigh of relief, and threw the sailing diary on the table.

The open paper of the diary was covered with many meaningless and chaotic graffiti. Mary felt dizzy just looking at it casually, and quickly looked away.

"Is my acting okay just now?" Aaron asked in a low voice, rubbing his brows.

Mary raised an eyebrow in doubt, walked to the crystal ball embedded on the wall, and looked at the green vortex that was constantly rotating inside: "Acting? I didn't see it at all."

"... Cough, that Hamel, she has a very deep influence on my sequence. In order not to alarm her, I can only appease her first. Fortunately, she is really not hostile, otherwise I am afraid I have lost control now."

Mary felt that her little respect for the captain was becoming thinner: "You really look like you're making excuses."

Aaron patted the table: "Alexander signed a notarized contract, so he can't make a move. Neither Alexander nor I can count on it. Thomas can only prepare countermeasures at any time in case there is any change in Hamel."

"It's good that you're still awake," Mary seemed relieved, "I thought you were completely crazy when you just said that you gave her permission to 'Clover'."

Hearing Mary's words, Aaron's complexion immediately became heavy. After he straightened his face, he had a bit of a serious captain's demeanor: "Even if I don't want to, I can't help it."

Mary's eyes widened in surprise: "You mean..."

"The 'Clover' can completely obey her, not me. I didn't expect that the negative effects that have troubled me for so many years will subside immediately after she boards the ship."

Aaron closed the sailing diary and pointed to the crystal ball on the wall: "Help me call Alexander and Thomas over. It is necessary to check in depth."
