Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 132 The Gray Sky

After the "Sun" heard the name, he suddenly realized. He seemed to think of something very important, and his eyes on "The Fool" became more and more eager.

Others were quite at a loss, "Justice" immediately raised his hand and asked: "Dear Mister Fool, what does the 'Rose of Redemption' represent?"

But "The Fool" didn't answer, just looked back at the crowd with a smile.

His attitude is obvious. He has said everything that can be said, and the rest can only be understood by himself.

Esther easily thought of the evil spirit she met when Klein went to block the Quaternary ruins.

It mentioned the existence of the "Rose of Redemption".

Esther didn't have the courage to continue to look at "The Fool", but even though she lowered her head, she was still wondering whether the real body of this god had something to do with that ancient era.But even if he knew the origin of "Zoya", being willing to help him was a rare gift, and Esther didn't know what further exchange he could give for his help.

"The Hanged Man" and "The Sun" discussed it for a while, but because "The Sun" didn't pay much attention to that area, "The Hanged Man" reminded him to investigate more.

"Justice" was puzzled by another point, because the child named "Jack" could actually communicate directly with "Sun" and his exploration team, but "The Hanged Man" said quite foresight that this is not a problem, Because anything can happen in an extraordinary event.

Esther raised her head slightly: "Perhaps it's because Jack has also been eroded very deeply by the remaining power of the temple. You should also be vigilant against this 'sun'."

"I see, thank you for your reminder, Miss Lover!" "Sun" replied seriously, he was determined to try to convey everyone's views to the chief after the Tarot Society ended, and try his best to help the exploration team break out of the loop .

This matter has come to an end, and the Tarot Society resumed its usual process. "Justice" manifested three Roselle diaries, "Lover" also contributed two pages, and "Magician" said that she would have a new diary next time. Russell's diary.

"The Fool" responded with a smile: "Very good."

After the master of the gray mist finished his reading time, it was the communication session between everyone.

"Justice" was very happy to buy a pair of Mirror Dragon's eyes from "Magician" for a thousand pounds.The "Hanged Man" proposed to use him as an intermediary in exchange for gold pounds, and would trade the potion of the "Sun Priest" to the "Sun", and then the "Sun" would deliver the stomach pouch of the Spirit Eater to the "Magician".

Afterwards, "The Hanged Man" also put forward his request to buy the eyeballs of longan and sea eagles. After the "world" asked to communicate with the "hanged man" alone and asked for some information, the "hanged man" asked to communicate with the "lover" alone.

Esther straightened her sitting posture, knowing that he was going to talk about that magical item.

"The Hanged Man" is always very straightforward in his transactions, and never shy away from anything: "Miss 'Lover', your Extraordinary weapon has been forged, but there is fluff growing on the handle, and it will appear if you scrape it off. , may affect the feel."

Fluffy, no big deal.Esther thought about shaving it if it would affect the battle, and then sealed it in a bare state with light spots:
"This has no effect. What are the serious negative effects you said before?"

"The Hanged Man" nodded: "It's just that there are three negative effects. First, it will be affected by the moonlight. When the full moon is full, it will be eager to kill and even try to hurt the holder. Second, it is itself poisonous." , poisoning will begin just by contact. The third..."

"What happened to the third?"

"The Hanged Man" seems a little hard to say: "It will shed its hair, and I'm afraid it will be more obvious when the seasons change."

Esther resisted the urge to laugh, and nodded calmly: "Thank you, I understand, these negative effects are still within my tolerance."

"Well, its ability also includes several aspects, one of which is toxin, which does not distinguish between objects. Then it has the anti-divination ability. Its blade is strong enough to cut through iron plates, and it can increase the user's strength by a small amount. Strength and agility. Not counting the handle, the blade itself is only the length of the middle finger, but if spiritual power is infused into it, the length of the blade can be increased, up to one-half more.”

Esther's eyes lit up, such a function can play a big role in close combat, and generally no one would expect it.

"Very good, to be honest, this is already much stronger than I expected."

Seeing that the deal was not rejected by the other party, "The Hanged Man" also heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately smiled and said, "You can name it yourself."

"Well, I'll have to think about that," Esther replied. "Thank you very much, Mr. Hanged Man."

"It's okay, it's a deal after all."

"The Fool" smiled in his eyes hidden behind the gray fog, but he was really curious what the "Lover" would name this weapon.

"Mr. Fool, may I hold the praying ceremony after a while?" Esther didn't plan to carry something with such serious negative effects in Backlund. She planned to wait until she left here before holding a ceremony to obtain this new weapon. arms.

"The Fool" nodded and agreed to her request.

After the transaction session is over, it is time for free discussion.

The "World" took the initiative to speak very rarely, reminding everyone that "big things are brewing in Backlund".

This made Esther vigilant, and her premonition seemed to be becoming clearer. "Justice" asked about the situation, but "World" also frankly said that he didn't know, but there was such an omen.

To everyone's surprise, "The World" asked "The Fool" if his favored one had noticed anything.

"The Fool" leaned back, and replied very flatly: "Edessaac Augustus."

who?Augustus?Are you a member of the royal family?
Esther was very confused about this. She didn't have a deep understanding of the class structure of the Loen Kingdom, so she subconsciously glanced at "Justice". Esther couldn't do anything until she understood the specific situation.

It was quite difficult for her to get in touch with a prince, and Esther did not have a suitable channel to inquire about this matter.

"The Hanged Man" saw that no one spoke any more, and added a warning about the dignified atmosphere on the sea, guessing that it might have echoed Backlund, obviously hoping that members of the Tarot Society in Backlund could carry out corresponding investigation.

Esther looked sideways at the "World" for a moment, but she didn't express her doubts about the "Aurora Society". There was silence.

In the end, seeing that no one was going to speak again, "The Fool" smiled and told everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, see you next week."

-

When Esther walked out of the bathroom, she was greeted with ridicule from Xiao Qi as expected.

"I thought you were going to spend the night in there."

"To be honest, I'm grateful that you didn't insist on asking about my secrets."

Xiao Qi shook his head: "Is it possible that I can't do it in my current state? Of course I'm also curious, but I don't want to become like Xiao Wu."

Its tendency is always to protect itself.

Esther reached out and poked Xiao Wu who was placed in the middle of the coffee table, but the Worm of Time remained silent: "If I improve my ability to control the light spot, will I be able to undo the seal on it?"

"Do you have an idea?"

Of course Esther has an idea, but she never dares to practice it, so she can only shake her head frankly to Xiao Qi: "If you dare to think or not to do it, I may still be hypocritical. Who would want to sacrifice when you have a choice?" Own?"

"I understand. You are considering letting go of the control that the existence in your mind has on your body."

"Now it is almost certain that he is 'Zoya', at least everyone who knows him thinks so."

Xiao Qi also jumped onto the coffee table, and pawed Xiao Wu, who had not moved, twice: "Perhaps a high-sequence Beyonder can think of something."

Esther sat on the sofa, picked up an orange from the fruit plate, and peeled off the rind bit by bit: "I sacrificed Xiao Wu to a certain god, and then I was sealed together with it, right? I don't think the goddess will Help me on this point, He once clearly told me to stay away from 'Amon', if I take Xiao Wu to the Church of Evernight..."

"Haha, then you will be unlucky too." Xiao Qi laughed dryly, naturally took a piece of orange thrown by Esther, and swallowed it.

"My luck has always been very good, but I'm not very trusting in fate, and I always like to fight against it." Speaking of this, Esther chuckled herself.

Xiao Qi looked at her even more strangely: "You don't believe in fate?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"No, I just think... this may be the strangest thing I've ever heard. 'Zoya' is the path of 'Fate', and when you borrow the power of those light spots, it is also a display of the corresponding ability."

Esther fell back lazily, leaning against the sofa in an irregular manner: "Is 'Zoya' the 'Fate' pathway? What does that have to do with Esther? Didn’t you also say it? I just borrowed Those powers."

"If you're really a 'thief', you probably won't be able to advance to Sequence Eight in your life."

Esther let out a long sigh: "If there is a choice, I hope there is a way to change my height. I really want to grow taller..."

"Indeed, the 'Warrior' path is fine. But you can't help growing taller now, why don't you try to 'restart' with light spots, you can start from scratch."

"What?" Esther looked at Xiao Qi blankly.

"The 'restart' of 'fate' can be applied to oneself to wash away the madness. This is another means of using the cycle. After becoming an embryo, it can grow up again."

Esther suddenly remembered the lady she saw at the door of the cafe that day, and she subconsciously sat up from the sofa: "Become an embryo...so it was him who attracted me at that time? Another giant snake!?"

"Oh? Have you ever met?" Xiaoqi is not surprised by this, there is the Extraordinary characteristic aggregation theorem here, coupled with Esther's weird luck, another "Mercury Snake" is attracted to her normal.

But the other party's condition may not be good, so he hides deliberately, trying to avoid intersection with Esther.

"However, it is very difficult to really catch him, at least until he is born," Esther said here, and lazily collapsed back, "it should be almost done when I come back to Backlund by this time next year. .”

Xiao Qi chuckled twice, but didn't speak, it was very happy to see Esther being so ambitious.

-

Tuesday, December 28.

It didn't rain anymore today, but the sky was getting more and more gloomy, and there didn't seem to be much difference between day and night.

Esther stood by the window, looking at the hurried figures on the street. The New Year was just around the corner, and many people tried their best to earn a few more pennies in order to have a good year.A good start to the new year seems to herald good luck for the new year. This is not a written idea, but a vague expectation that most people will have.

"That sense of unease is becoming more and more apparent."

"To be honest, it's normal for 'Zoya' to be good at prophecy as a way of destiny, but with his power, it shouldn't just give you such vague feedback."

Esther's right hand scratched the air. Of course, she didn't catch anything. She just said casually: "I can't see, it should be my personal problem."

"Well……"

Xiaoqi did not express its conjecture that the ability of "Zoya" conflicted with the "thief" on Esther, which may be the main reason for Esther's restriction, but she put the "thief" As the main tool, it is difficult to say whether this is the best option or the worst option.

Xiao Qi even had a guess that the more frequently Esther used the ability of the "fate" pathway, the closer she would be to "Zoya" herself—until finally "Zoya" woke up.

This point is not a secret to the angels in the extraordinary world, but for the true gods, striving to maintain themselves has always been the norm in the struggle for existence.

"By the way, Xiaoqi, do you know what kind of war happened between the real creator and the six gods?"

"Well, God of War."

Esther immediately regained her spirits and had fun!

She hurriedly asked: "What else?"

"Gone."

"You might as well not have said that!"

Xiaoqi jumped lightly, and nimbly dodged Esther's finger that wanted to poke its forehead: "I really dare not tell you too many things, some things may make people crazy even if they just recognize their concepts. Even The 'Zoya' in your mind has enough personality, and there is no guarantee that you will be affected as 'Esther'."

Esther was stunned for a moment, but quickly figured out the key point: "So that's it, no wonder there are always covered parts in my memory, is that to protect me from breaking down?"

"In fact, you have been hit a lot," Xiao Qi pointedly said, "Those memories probably belong to 'Zoya', not you."

After a pause, Xiaoqi reminded her again: "Not knowing those memories is a good thing for you, the more you know, the more profound the influence of 'Zoya' will be on you, and when you can't tell which one belongs to 'Zoya' When you differ from yourself, you..."

"I won't be me anymore."

Esther clenched her fists and took Xiao Qi's last words with a smile.
