Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Even after experiencing the strange things on Bancy Island last night, Esther's waking hours are still unwavering.

Ever since the circulation space was expanded last night, Esther's migraine has been tormenting her from time to time. Fortunately, the pain in her mind has completely subsided after one night.

The servant’s room Esther chose was also the one with a small window. At this time, the golden spot of light spilled into the cabin from the window. She looked out with a smile. The sky was gradually clearing up, and there were moving figures on the pier. All back on track.

But with such a dangerous anomaly hidden in Bancy Island, this kind of life is probably coming to an end.

Esther gave up thinking deeply, and when she walked out of the room, Klein just happened to walk into the room, holding a black wooden box in his hand.

Esther also saw Donna and Denton following Klein, and greeted the two children:

"Good morning, you two got up so early."

Donna stretched out the hand behind her back, and put the thing she was holding on the table:

"Sister Hamel! Uncle Sparrow! This is my father, mother, and Uncle Cleves, um, and Uncle Dimordo's family asked me to hand over to you, 150 pounds!"

"Huh, so many!? Is this really good?" Esther was a little surprised, casually tapped the stacks of gold pounds, and quickly put them back on the table.

Donna's smile was very excited: "They said that this is not enough to express their gratitude, just to supplement your consumption!"

Klein said blankly: "It's okay."

Since Klein had no objection, Esther certainly wouldn't push out the gold pounds delivered to her door. She counted out thirty gold pounds at random, and handed the rest to Klein.

Klein gave her a questioning look, and Esther shrugged indifferently: "For me, as long as I have money for food, I don't want to run away with someone else."

It took Klein a lot of effort to hold back his laughter, so as not to make people collapse in front of Donna and Denton.

The two children looked at each other, and couldn't wait to ask Klein about last night's situation. The barrage of questions left Klein in a daze.

Esther was still sniggering at the side, but the next second Donna turned to her: "Sister Hamel, are those you used last night also magic? There are really fireflies living in your hair! The adventures you talked about Is it all true?"

Klein gave Esther a look. Esther understood, but pretended not to understand: "Yes, those adventure stories are all true, and the story of Uncle Sparrow's fight against evil is extremely heroic!"

As Klein was taking off his coat, he felt some kind of sarcasm in voiceover.

He's never had better luck at the Fight Evil tables!
Klein couldn't help explaining, and briefly said a few words about "extraordinary ability", in order to avoid Esther's nonsense causing the two children to have a worse misunderstanding.

Donna couldn't help asking: "We, can we also become people like you through rituals and potions?"

Esther touched the center of her right eyebrow subconsciously: "This is not a good thing, everything has a price. If you want to become a Extraordinary, you may be forgotten by your family and hunted down by the church. People who can be relied on or trusted, are you still willing?"

Confusion appeared on the faces of the two children, and Denton looked at Klein: "But didn't sister Hamel act with Uncle Sparrow?"

What Klein did next was beyond Esther's expectations.

He said in a deep voice:
"As long as you choose this path, you will always be accompanied by danger and madness. You can win them a hundred times, a thousand times, but as long as you lose once, you will be like that fallen bishop."

Klein rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, revealing a shriveled old arm, and another arm with transparent skin that could look directly at all the blood vessels and muscles.

Dense granulation suddenly appeared on his face, and he writhed wildly like a worm, scaring the two children back to the door.

"See clearly? This is, crazy."

Esther didn't stop Klein's move.

This kind of deterrence is actually for the benefit of the two children.

After Donna and Denton rushed into the hallway in fright, she went forward and closed the door tightly:

"Is this okay? In fact, I can also steal their ideas directly."

Klein shook his head at her, "They have the right to choose their own lives after knowing the truth. You cannot take away this right."

"That's right. Now I'm always thinking of convenience, and I habitually steal these troublesome things... It seems to be more and more like a 'stealer'." Esther pressed her temples with her knuckles, and said nothing more.

"Playing has an effect on you?" Klein asked.

"I don't need to digest the potion, but it may be affected in reverse..." Esther frowned halfway through, and suddenly stopped talking.

The door of Danitz's room was opened, and he walked out of the room yawning: "What happened just now? I seem to have heard a scream before."

As a result, a blood-stained cane flew towards him, and Danitz caught it in a hurry. When he raised his head again, he met the cold expression under Gehrman's gold-rimmed glasses:

"Wash clean."

Danis' complexion instantly collapsed again.

Shit!I should have continued to sleep until noon!
-

"I've always been curious about how you and Gehrman met." Danis asked.

Walking into the first-class cabin dining room, the two ordered breakfast with the waiter, and sat down in a place where the morning sun was relatively soft.Because Danitz's hand wash wasted a lot of time, there were already a lot of people getting up at this time, and many breakfast guests were sitting at the table.

Esther drank two sips of the apple juice brought by the waiter, and leaned lazily on the armrest: "That's how we met, it was just a colleague relationship at first."

Colleague relationship?Sure enough, the two were bounty hunters before, and they gradually became acquainted after joining forces for a certain mission.Danitz thought about the strange tacit understanding between the two, and immediately came to a conclusion in his heart.

Esther cut the waffles into small portions, dipped them in jam and brought them to her mouth. Without looking at her, she knew that Danitz would misunderstand.

But she was telling the truth.

"Looking at the abilities of the two of you, you should have had a good time before, right? How could you think of going to sea." Danitz picked up a piece of grilled sausage, still trying to take the opportunity to find out about the past of the two of them.

"Opportunities, of course there are more opportunities at sea," Esther glanced at Danis, "like you?"

"None of my business! I thought Gehrman was a pretty good seed that night, but who knows..."

Danitz chewed the grilled sausage viciously, obviously venting his anger on the food.

Esther stared at him in surprise: "Have you ever thought about joining Lagelman? What are you doing? Wouldn't it be joining your team?"

If it wasn't for being in the restaurant of the first-class cabin, Danitz would have thumped hard on the table: "I didn't know he was such a lunatic!"

"Don't speak ill of people behind their backs, you might be heard."

Esther reminded Danitz with a smile.

Danitz looked around in horror, but he didn't see Gehrman's figure, and immediately resumed his high-spirited and arrogant look: "How is it possible? He can't hear our chat...you won't tell him, will you?"

"No, after all, you don't care if you say it to your face, because he's just like that." Esther modified Klein's character design from the side.

"I'm not that stupid! Say it face to face? I'm afraid he'll make me eat bullets if he gets excited."

Danitz was indeed a little panicked. He recalled that Gehrman was proficient in divination, but after thinking about what Hamel said, he felt that what she said was indeed very reasonable.

Esther shook the apple juice in the glass and looked at the sparkling sea outside the window: "I'm quite curious about your team. Your captain should be a powerful Extraordinary who can make you admire so much?"

As soon as Danitz mentioned the topic of "Vice Admiral Iceberg", he became very enthusiastic: "Of course! Our captain is super powerful and very smart! Otherwise we wouldn't follow her!"

"Then if you have a chance, you can introduce me."

"That's all right, you—you're not cheating on me again, are you?"

Esther didn't speak, but kept a bright smile.

Just let Danis think wildly.

Esther has plans to go to sea, and Danitz's words and deeds are quite different from the ferocious pirates in Cleves' stories.Esther guessed that this had something to do with the style of the pirate group itself, and the idea of ​​the "Vice Admiral Iceberg" might not be so difficult for her to accept.

But all of these have to wait for the right opportunity and witness it with your own eyes.

-

Klein didn't get up until lunch time, and his clean cane was already leaning against the coat rack.

Esther and Danitz were drawing on a notebook on the table. After Klein walked over, he found that Esther was playing "backgammon invented by Emperor Roselle" with Danitz.

On the torn pieces of draft paper next to it, it can be seen at a glance that the blacks are in a terrible battle. On the ongoing chess game, Danitz is stroking his hair with one hand and gesturing around the whites with the other. He has never decided to place the blacks where.

How miserable.Klein sighed in his heart, playing this kind of brain game with a path with a "deciphering scholar", without even thinking about it, he knew that there was no chance of winning.

Esther noticed Klein coming out of the room from the corner of her eye, and immediately persuaded, "Danitz, or forget it. It's time for lunch."

"I don't believe it. Could it be that I can't win even one round!? Damn it!" Danitz yelled cursingly, "Who is blocking the light so much, I can't even see clearly!"

Then he raised his head and met Gehrman's expressionless eyes.

There was a few seconds of silence that suffocated Danis.

Klein had almost regarded holding back laughter as a daily performance item. He glanced at the two of them indifferently, and put on his double-breasted frock coat: "Go to the restaurant."

Even on the way to the restaurant, Danis kept arguing with Esther:

"It's almost there! I'm going to win in two more moves, and you must be the loser!"

There was a smile on the corner of Esther's mouth: "If you don't believe me, why don't we go back and continue after we finish eating?"

"I know you don't need to continue! This one must..."

Klein couldn't help but sigh in his heart, where did Danitz's courage come from? It's really admirable.
