Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 270 Return to the sea

Esther felt from the bottom of her heart that the way of traveling through the spirit world was not suitable for her.

She didn't know where Ulorius took her through. Ulorius' arm was pressed tightly on the top of Lark's head, almost making it difficult for Esther, who was wrapped in a bloody cloak, to breathe happily. go.

But Ulorius was right.

Esther felt the pulling force coming from all around her all the time, the lark's feathers were constantly falling off, and every time the feathers were torn apart, blood beads emitting silver light would condense into circles.

Before the blood drops dissipate, they will be absorbed by the red cloak and turn into light osmanthus-yellow lines. Then it will stick to Skylark's body, wrapping Skylark tighter.From time to time, spots of light would burst out from the wound, and then they would quickly disappear and melt into the spirit world, making Esther weaker and weaker.

When this journey was over, Skylark was left half-dead and depressed. However, the red cloak given by Hells twisted and gradually spit out the light yellow threads and fit them into Skylark's wounds.

Skylark quickly stood up again and shook his head vigorously twice before Ouroreus took it out of the cloak.

"arrive."

"Thank you... vomit..." Esther suppressed the desire to retch, and Lark's throat was filled with the smell of blood. His body, which was originally stagnant, now felt as if it had been stitched together by flesh and blood that did not belong to him.

Esther has a new understanding of the danger of that cloak, but she no longer dares to perform divination casually. Her interaction with the spirit world exposes her to invisible risks, and it is too easy for her whereabouts to be exposed to Amon. .

This thing must not be asked Klein to help with divination. There is a high probability that it will be directly related to Hells. Looking directly at God like that will only cause Klein to be polluted.

When Esther released the parasitic state, she felt that the skylark's body was torn from her body and part of the light came out. She held her throat and coughed dryly for a while, her heart beating as fast as she had just finished running at extreme speed.

"Thank you, Ouroleus." Esther took the blood-red cloak from Ouroleus and stuffed the night badge that had returned to silence and another bud of unknown function back into her arms.

Ulorius stood quietly for a few seconds before shaking his head hesitantly: "This is an order."

Esther was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and looked at the dead bird in Ourorius' hand: "It's not an order, it's just a thank you."

She hesitated for a second, then made up her mind: "When I return to Backlund, I will go to the underground ruins and confirm the status of Medici."

Ouroreus stood for a long time, his eyelashes trembling slightly, but he never opened his eyes to look at Esther. Finally, he nodded and turned around, stepping into the gap in the spirit world.

The landing point under the feet is a cliff, the sea below beats the black stone, and the dark sea level in the distance gradually becomes brighter.

The sun rises, a new day.

Ourolius didn't seem to tell me where this was, nor did he say what day it was... Forget it, it felt like he wouldn't know even if I asked him.

Strange, my perception of time seems to be weakened?

Esther rubbed her forehead twice, her "spiritual intuition" became too quiet after she saw the town, she could only speculate that Zoya was affected by Amon.

It seems that the "friend" that the crow avatar said was really just a joke, and Amon left no room for Zoya to negotiate.Is it possible that I still have to thank Him?Because his act of stealing the anchor prevented Zoya from waking up, so I'm still alive?

Perhaps it is necessary to tell Klein this rule, well, absolutely don't believe that "thief" will become a true friend.

Esther watched the morning light fall over the sea level, and slowly curled up the corners of her mouth. She put on her bright red cloak again, and spread her hands towards the coast.

The warm sea breeze blew lazily across Esther's palm, almost undetectable by touch.

It doesn't matter, "I" is still alive today, is there anything more gratifying than this?

But after this short period of comfort, Esther's heart gradually became heavy again.

The first priority is to pray to Mr. Fool, asking him to convey my news to Klein, hoping that he will not be panicked by my departure.

In addition, there is also a satchel, which contains all my money. Now I am so poor that I can’t even break out a copper coin!

Esther patted her heart, this was no longer the time to ask for reimbursement from the goddess of the night.

But isn’t He a god that Zoya trusts so much? Why would he want to erase Zoya’s anchor?What has the goddess of the night been planning for Zoya?

Esther's eyes dimmed, but she gradually understood Amon's words, "Don't be fooled by the appearance of the gods."

This cliff is quite desolate, and there are lush jungles nearby, and it seems that no one will disturb it for a while.

Esther arranged a spot of light, then leaned behind the tree and read out the honorable name of "The Fool" in giant language:

"The fool who does not belong to this era, the mysterious ruler above the gray mist, the yellow and black king who is in charge of good luck...

"I pray to you, and pray that you will convey the news of my safety to Gehrman Sparrow. I have left the place abandoned by the gods..."

-

"Golden Dream".

This ship belonging to "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina was on its way to Bayam.

Klein is still sleeping.

After experiencing an adventure in "Grossel's Travel Notes" yesterday, he processed what he got last night and divined the origin of that special ancient book.

Even if he didn't attend the bonfire party to celebrate "Vice Admiral Iceberg"'s safe return to the ship, Klein still needed a good night's sleep to restore his energy.The battles in the book are difficult, but unfortunately, their comrades from previous centuries do not leave the story with them.

Klein even learned another thing from Snowman, the ascetic monk of the third era - the "Gospel Bird" was accompanied by not only the "Almighty Lord", but also the "Angel of Destiny" Uro Lucy and "Dark Angel" Saslier.

Unlike the "Angel of Time" Amon, the "Gospel Bird" does not exist in any written scriptures or records, and is only passed on by word of mouth.Most of the people who were lucky enough to see those angels, or the first group of believers who followed the Lord, knew the existence of the "Gospel Bird".

Klein took down the news and decided to pass it on to Esther after he could contact her.

It's not that Klein never tried to summon Esther's messenger, but the strange-looking puppy kept shaking its head with drooping ears, expressing that it couldn't deliver the message to Esther for him.

Klein had no other choice. He hoped that Esther would remember his piece of advice when he was in danger: pray to The Fool.

When the sound of prayer suddenly sounded in my ears, the sky was bright and white.

Klein, who was interrupted to rest, was still in a daze at first, but after identifying the source of the sound, he immediately rolled over and got up from the bed.

Skillfully arranging the wall of spirituality, walking four steps backwards, the palace shrouded in gray mist appeared in front of his eyes.

Klein raised his hand to wave down the light ball on the top, and found that the sound coming from inside was much weaker than before, otherwise he could have heard it clearly in reality.

After hearing the news that Esther was safe, Klein let out a long sigh of relief. He tapped the outer shell of the light sphere twice with his finger and quickly made a decision.

-

Esther didn't leave the cliff at the edge of the forest quickly. She half-closed her eyes, enjoying the warm sea breeze, and almost fell into a drowsy sleep leaning against the tree trunk.

After leaving the Land Abandoned by God, without Amon, her tense spirit could finally relax.

Anyway, there is no one, just squint for a while...

When the message from "The Fool" came suddenly, Esther's head had already dropped to her shoulders, and she was awakened because of her drowsiness. It took her several seconds to understand what Mister Fool meant.

"Get ready to board the Gray Fog in five minutes."

Esther became nervous again. Although she didn't mind telling "The Fool" about her experience in the "Land Abandoned by Gods", but thinking about the attitudes of Hells and Ourolius, Esther felt that her position was affected. swing.

In the end, the frankness to "The Fool" overwhelmed all considerations, and it was related to Zoya. As Zoya's former boss, "The Fool" should know what happened.

She didn't need to make any preparations, she continued to sit where she was and waited quietly for the five minutes to pass.

The hazy light covered the eyes, and when the sight became clear again, Esther saw the familiar long bronze table.

There is no one at the head seat, and the "fool" is not there.

However, Esther's seat is next to the vacant seat belonging to "The World". At this time, there is a young man sitting on it. He is wearing a half-height silk top hat and has sharp eyes under gold-rimmed glasses. He only showed a little when he saw Esther. smile.

Esther remembered what she hadn't had time to explain to Klein before, but this is the small world of "The Fool" after all, and it is impossible for Esther to have an attack here, and "The Fool" might be watching this incident somewhere. conversation.

Esther nodded with a bright smile, but her smile revealed a little danger: "Mr. World."

"All your things are at Mr. Fool's place." Of course, Klein also noticed Esther's strange eyes. On the surface, he was unfazed, but in his heart, he was glad that he had chosen the best place to talk.

Although "The Fool" is also him, Esther doesn't know, but she can still let herself protect herself from disaster...

"Ah, thank you. I will ask Mr. Fool for help later."

There was a few seconds of silence between the two.

Esther did not hold back and was the first to break the silence: "I still want to ask, 'The World', right? How many Tarot sessions have you had?"

"It wasn't before, but it may be me in the future, or it may be someone else. This identity must be concealed skillfully enough, so before I was promoted to 'Faceless Man', I knew a lot less than you."

This is a reasonable explanation, Esther rubbed the center of her right eyebrow in distress: "Yes, rest assured, I will not pursue anything in this matter, this is a personal choice... Your promotion this time was successful ?"

"The mermaid was found, and it went well."

"That's good."

Klein leaned forward slightly: "Is the situation in the Land Abandoned by God really that bad? Like the 'Sun' said?"

The arc of Esther's mouth was flattened, and there was nothing left: "It sucks, let me try to be as brief as possible..."
