Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

"Gehrman Sparrow?"

"Nons?"

Both Esther and Klein felt a little bit confused at the same time. They were obviously two people who knew each other well, but they simultaneously uttered each other's pseudonyms in an attempt to verify each other's identities.

However, such a simple question of names did not reduce the vigilance of both parties, but made Skylark even more nervous.

Klein noticed the sharp hostility in Skylark's eyes, and quickly went around in his mind: "Let's say something to each other to prove that we are true."

Of course Esther would not refuse this proposal, she just hesitated and said, "German joins the hunt tonight?"

Klein can confirm that this is Esther.

But he also really wanted to go back and withdraw the previous proposal. Esther had to say this if she couldn't say anything!It made Klein feel like someone had exposed the black history of the second middle school.

So Klein upheld the careful thought of "reciprocity", and replied: "Four big spoons of butter, half a cup of cocoa powder, two eggs, half a cup of sugar, two-thirds of a cup of flour, and half a bowl of fresh cream..."

Esther immediately wailed: "Don't read it, don't read it! I know! Don't read it again! I should have known that one day I shouldn't keep this kind of thing!"

That was the recipe she had engraved on Tingen's tombstone. Now that it was read out face to face, Esther, who was listening, felt indescribably ashamed.

And why does Klein remember it so clearly! ?

Esther felt embarrassed on the outside, and screamed inside at the same time.

The skylark flapped its wings and landed on top of Klein's head, bouncing fiercely on his top hat.

Klein closed his mouth. He didn't mind Esther's anger. There was a flash of a smile in his eyes.

She seemed to be normal on the surface, not in a state of being suppressed by "Zoya".So during this time, Esther has been trapped in a dream, shuttling between different dreams while she was asleep?

-

When Bernadette deliberately restrained her sense of existence and pushed open the door without a sound, this was the scene she saw.

The skylark was jumping around on top of the cold-faced Gehrman Sparrow, and its slender claws kept stepping on the half-height silk top hat, without even leaving many marks.

The crazy adventurer remained expressionless, but turned his gaze towards the door, meeting Bernadette.

Skylark stopped immediately, and bluntly revealed the identity of the visitor: "Ms. 'Queen of Mysteries' Bernadette Gustav, it's a pleasure to see you again."

Bernadette didn't care about Lark's small thoughts of sharing information with Gehrman, and walked to the long table on her own, and made a gesture of invitation to sit down at the two of them—or to Gehrman, after all, Lark had already Squat down on his top hat.

Klein didn't speak, but took off his hat first, took the opportunity to drive Esther down, and then opened the chair and sat down opposite Bernadette.

Skylark flapped its wings in dissatisfaction, squatted at the side of the two of them, and huddled together in a very disfigured way: "Ms. Bernadette, may I ask that this dream is not dangerous?"

Bernadette raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Yes, you can rest for a while as you like."

"Thank you..." Esther sighed heavily.

She didn't even know how long she had spent in those messy dreams. The progress in the dream was different from the outside world. If she stayed in the dream for too long, Esther had lost her keen perception of the time outside.

Bernadette's eyes turned to the crazy adventurer on the opposite side: "We meet again."

Esther lifted her eyelids to peek, but Klein's cold expression didn't change: "We haven't met before."

"Really? Mister Grand Thief 'Dark Emperor'..."

Skylark's eyes widened in surprise, looking at Bernadette and then at Klein.

Esther felt that she shouldn't be here, she should stay in those bizarre and crazy dreams and continue watching other creatures, otherwise she wouldn't have received such a mental shock.

What was Bernadette talking about just now?Who is the "Dark Emperor"?

Klein!Your so-called "Dark Emperor" teacher, Mr. "World", could it be you?

Skylark stood up again, her wide-eyed eyes were filled with disbelief and accusations—Esther urgently needed a positive answer from Klein.

If it weren't for the facial adjustment ability of "Joker" and "Faceless Man", Klein's current expression would hardly be so indifferent. His identity was directly exposed by the eldest daughter of Roselle, and he was also directly heard by Esther. ...

Klein at least maintained his superficial calm, without revealing the turmoil in his heart: "I don't understand what you're talking about."

Bernadette looked at Skylark's surprised expression, but said to Gehrman: "Gehrman Sparrow, including Hamel Brook, these two identities are provided by me."

A smile appeared on Gehrman's stern face, but it disappeared quickly. He was suddenly a little thankful that Esther had mentioned to him in a letter before, "The people who provided their identities come from a lot of backgrounds."

But "Lover" told "Fool" about the transaction.

At that time, Klein hadn't connected this person with the "Ms. Pea Vine" he had met before, but he made a plan in his heart so that he could be prepared when facing a similar situation.

So after being frightened by being exposed as the "Dark Emperor" just now, Klein also quickly recovered his mood and responded, especially after reading the "Roselle Notes 3", he quickly took the Tarot Club as a Another entry point:

"It is impossible for me to admit or deny that this is out of self-protection for 'us', and I hope you can understand our difficulties."

These words had completely different meanings in the ears of Esther and Bernadette.

Klein expressed it cleverly and cryptically enough. In Esther's view, these words refer to the "Dark Emperor" and Klein being teachers and students. It is impossible and unnecessary to tell Bernadette.

In Bernadette's view, this is the protection of the members of the Tarot Society themselves. Being verified by outsiders as the favored person of the "Fool" will only bring trouble to the "Dark Emperor", so the other party will not be willing Acknowledging this, but it also confirmed that Bernadette's guess is true.

"I understand." Hearing the emphasized personal pronoun, Bernadette's gaze finally shifted away from Lark and landed on Gehrman's face, "You found out that the bookmark is the 'Black Emperor' card through his diary of?"

Esther's eyes, which had just begun to regain calm, were taken aback again. She looked at Klein and opened her mouth, but she never made a sound to disturb the conversation between the two, but Lark shrank back again, expressing herself with body language resistance.

While worrying in his heart, Klein shook his head indifferently, and threw out the "blame-blaming route" he had thought about a long time ago: "It's that one."

He didn't directly say who it was, but he knew that Bernadette would definitely be able to make corresponding associations. If it wasn't because "The Fool" was himself, Klein wouldn't dare to bring up the topic of gods.

Seeing that Bernadette didn't ask any questions immediately, Klein decided to take the topic into his own hands: "Are you the mysterious person on the 'Future' who peeped at me?"

Esther stepped back again. It was difficult for her to completely conceal her guilt, but now Klein's attention was not on Lark, which made Esther's small movements unnoticed.

In the subsequent conversation, Klein's probing didn't yield much useful information, and Bernadette frankly admitted to his inquiries, and even vaguely revealed another meaning—she saw that there was something special about Gehrman. place.

"It was you who made me and Hamel appear in the dream of the 'Black Saint'?" Klein raised this question, trying to seize the initiative of the conversation.

For the first time in the conversation, Bernadette hesitated because of thinking: "Actually, you are the only one I want to pull into the dream. Hamel's situation was an accident. She hasn't woken up until now, and I feel very sorry." strangeness."

Esther, whose pseudonym was mentioned, suddenly raised her head: "Did you do something?"

"The 'fate' path can partially control dreams, and I have the corresponding means, you should be able to figure this out." Bernadette replied lightly.

Klein and Esther were thinking about the same thing - the "Wheel of Fortune" card!

Bernadette continued to explain: "I didn't target you, I just wanted to confirm the person who took away Kavitua's relic. Hamel was involved by accident, but with her control over the dream, it should have been You can wake up anytime."

Esther shook her wings twice in distress, shook her head and said nothing.

Klein noticed her loss, and decided to communicate with Bernadette before communicating with Esther alone, so he said bluntly:

"Ms. Gustav, what do you want from me?"

Bernadette's proposal to learn Chinese was naturally rejected by Klein, and he pushed "that one" without hesitation.

This time, Esther also realized who he was referring to. Thinking of Klein's encounter with "The Fool" at some point, Esther had the urge to jump on his head and call him.

But think about it, after all, Mr. World is Klein's teacher...

Esther sighed.

Bernadette stood up from the table after reminding "Your destiny is on the main peak of the Hornaches Mountains", and told Gehrman opposite that she could provide help or clues to the "Card of Blasphemy", and the request was very simple. , was to teach her the languages ​​that Russell Gustav used to write his diary.

Esther realized that this proposal was not just for "Gehrman Sparrow", but an invitation to the "fool" behind the "world".

Bernadette also glanced at Lark for the last time: "Of course, the deal between us still counts."

"It's a pity that I don't have any clues, Ms. Gustav, maybe only fate can give us the answer."

Bernadette showed a polite and gentle chuckle, then turned around and walked into the depths of the library.

The dream in the library suddenly dissipated, and Esther subconsciously flew up and landed on Klein's shoulder.

Soon the surrounding scene became clear from the chaos, and Klein was already standing in the hall with murals.

Anderson looked at him in shock:

"Where did you come in? So you didn't walk the bird on the boat, did you come to walk in your dream?"

Skylark pointed at Anderson on the opposite side with the tip of his wing: "I told you, this man just doesn't deserve to be beaten."
