Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Aaron didn't expect Esther to finish reading the notes so quickly, and even brought them back to him.

At this time, Aaron was eating dinner alone in the captain's cabin, so that he could have a drink calmly without caring about other people's feelings.So when he was disturbed, he was a little unhappy:
"You can see it very quickly. As I said before, don't practice on the boat."

Esther didn't ask more details about "divination", but mentioned the team that went to explore the island: "Alexander and the others didn't encounter any trouble, did they?"

"No, they met some natives in the local area and traded part of the harvest on our ship. Alexander seemed to have noticed a certain mineral that he had never seen outside, so he became interested in research again, his old problem."

Aaron explained it in detail, and shook the amber brandy in the glass to Esther: "Because I never allow him to bring things with unknown ingredients on board, he came back with someone to take the experimental equipment. I went back to the village. What can you do with him?"

Esther shook her head: "I didn't particularly want to talk to him, but I was subconsciously worried."

"There is nothing to worry about, unless the volcano erupts... But there is very little information about this island, so it's not a bad thing to be cautious." Aaron said, looking at Esther's frowning.

"Do you want to try divination?"

Aaron was stunned for a second, because the "Queen of Mysteries" was going to meet Hamel, he did not perform divination before landing on the island out of nervousness!

This is absolutely not the way it should be.

"The teacher didn't tell me that there is any danger here, but she seems to want you to follow us..." Aaron narrowed his eyes, "If that's the case, maybe she has given me the answer."

Esther's brows frowned even tighter: "Are you thinking about using me as a thug? Do you trust me too much?"

Aaron smiled and nodded his temples: "I trust my intuition very much, and this is also my little rule. If things are difficult to understand, just go with the flow and get the best results."

Before Esther questioned him further, Aaron continued: "But I should really do a divination, wait for a while."

He finally showed a little sense of responsibility as the leader.This made Esther sigh from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't help but start to reflect on herself. Could it be that Klein would feel so unreliable when she usually acted on "intuition"?
Aaron put away the old notebook and pressed down a dark space on the wall. After the board bounced up, three or four crystal balls of different sizes were exposed inside, all of which were also mixed with silvery filaments. The texture is similar to mercury that constantly shimmers.

Aaron held the smallest one in his hand, and the volume of the crystal ball was also a circle larger than his fist, which looked heavy.

"Do you like it? I like that you can make it yourself or even order it. You can add different Extraordinary materials according to the purpose. Your gold louis is enough." Aaron joked when he walked up to Esther and showed her.

Esther laughed dryly: "Haha, I still like cheaper auxiliary props, so as not to hurt my heart if they are broken."

Aaron immediately took several steps back and took the crystal ball away from Esther.

Next, he held the crystal ball with both hands, with a focused and peaceful expression on his face. Although Aaron's eyes were staring at the filaments in the crystal ball, the focus of his eyes gradually fell to a farther place.

His lips moved, but he didn't make a very clear sound, as if the ancient Hermetic language came out like a dream, Esther could barely hear some words like "fate", "guidance" and the names of Alexander and others.

As Aaron's voice fell, the crystal ball reflected in his eyes became brighter, and the silver liquid inside gradually stretched out, forming a scene of revolving and reciprocating flow.

Esther also followed Aaron into the crystal ball, and soon, several scenes quickly passed her eyes: the mottled rust-like crater and the bottomless black hole, among the black clouds was Alexander , Mary and Aaron led a few sailors forward in a panic, the huge bloody basin opened its mouth wide, the many trees that were knocked into two by the bone monster and the scattered blood...

All the scenes tended to be bleak, and finally Esther's eyes regained clarity, but she met Aaron's weirder eyes.

She laughed a little guilty: "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing...the result shows that there is a crisis. Although it is not life-threatening and can be dealt with, it is also very difficult for them."

Aaron didn't answer his weird extra experience just now. The whole process of his divination was under the intervention of some more distant force. He didn't know that she forcibly intervened in the observation until he caught a glimpse of the faint light in Hamel's eyes when he looked up. Own "divination" process.

It felt pretty bad, almost like being "watched" by some kind of evil spirit.

Esther thought for two seconds: "Do you have a way to contact them?"

"You can do their divination. This is a good opportunity for you to practice divination, Hamel."

Esther stared blankly at Aaron: "Are you serious?"

Aaron's smile was bright: "Of course not."

After speaking, he opened another hidden compartment and took out a bronze charm from it.

Esther began to wonder if there was something hidden behind every board in his captain's cabin.

Aaron instilled spiritual power into the spell, and said a sentence in ancient Hermes: "communication."

The talisman began to emit a cyan light, and then Aaron switched to Intis's language: "Come back quickly, there is an abnormality on the island, and the divination is not going well."

The spell disintegrated into the air, Aaron patted the little powder left on his hands, and raised his eyebrows at Esther: "That's it."

Esther pointed to herself: "Don't you need to pick them up?"

"If you want to, I won't stop you. Can you ensure your safety?"

Esther rubbed the pattern on her hand: "No problem, the bone sword is in my hand."

"Ha, it is indeed in your 'hands'. If you want to test it, you can do whatever you want." Aaron sat back in the captain's chair, raised his glass indifferently, and gestured to Esther for the door direction.

Esther was a little puzzled: "Aren't you worried about them?"

"It's not me who has the strongest combat power on this ship, and I can only help less if I leave the Clover." Aaron sighed, "Oh, in fact, it's not Thomas who is the strongest, but It was the old gentleman who seemed to be learned and wise."

"But Monsieur Alexander doesn't look young anymore."

"His approach can be said to be the longer he lives and the more he learns. He took away several boxes, didn't he? If Alexander used his 'research results' regardless of the consequences and the cost, this Nahuatl Island It is possible to be bombed in half."

Esther understood that this is the way of fighting determined by the way, and she also told Aaron of her decision: "I will go to them."

"I won't send people to you, you think about it."

Esther still nodded: "My language class with Mr. Alexander is not over yet, and I also want to try a simple 'divination'."

"I won't lend you a crystal ball either."

Esther suddenly smiled: "I know you are worried about me getting off the ship alone, Captain Aaron, but I want to take a look."

Aaron stared at her in silence for two seconds, then pointed to the lantern hanging by the door: "At least bring a lantern, it's already dark."

-

A few minutes later, with a lantern on her arm, Esther climbed down the rope ladder hanging from the outside of the "Clover". Two sailors on night patrol taught her how to use the foam. Enough foam has been kicked off the hull of the "" to step directly on the water.

To be on the safe side, they usually wrap their feet and arms with foam to prevent them from losing their balance, falling headfirst and then being unable to climb up, so that when they fall into the water, they will at most slip their hands and feet and swim forward on their stomachs.

This function saves the trivial things like rowing a raft, and it can be regarded as the unique ship culture of the "Clover". The place.

Before Esther stretched out her hand to the foam around the "Clover", a large puff of foam floated up automatically, as if a series of bubbles were spit out at Esther's body, almost covering her whole body. It became a ball, like wearing a spacesuit made of foam.

Esther looked at the hull of the "Clover" amusedly, and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your enthusiasm..."

It's a little too much though.

As soon as Esther stepped onto the surface of the sea, she fell on all fours like ice skating, because her whole body was covered in bubbles. Under such momentum, she slid straight out, and her speed was completely uncontrollable.

Esther's whole body seemed to be surrounded by bubbles rolling on the water, leaving a long string of flying fine bubbles in the air. The lantern was lit under the crimson moonlight, and the laughter of the two sailors at the bow was heard only by the sound of the waves. It was especially harsh in the night.

Lost the adults!

After Esther slid onto the beach, she continued to rush forward for several meters, but after touching the sand, the foam burst quickly.She tried her best to shake off the big balls of foam sticking to her body, and rubbed a small amount of fine sand with her palms to destroy them, otherwise these "stubborn elements" could last for half an hour.

After brushing off the little sand on her body, Esther could still hear unceremonious laughter from a distance under the crimson moonlight.

Those two couldn't stop laughing!Pooh!

After Esther stood firm on the beach, she folded her hands together and then opened them, and the bone sword appeared in her hand, which she held in her right hand.

She held the lantern that was clamped on her elbow before in the palm of her left hand, and lifted it up, illuminating a path in the forest that had been opened up. Because someone walked by, there were still traces of footprints on the ground.

Esther felt the faint touch from the "pale bone nail": "It seems that I was right, there is something on this island that attracts you."

In those foreseen pictures, there is a huge monster made of white bones. It is because of its existence that Esther is determined to go to the island to take a look.

She held the bone sword in front of her, and said silently in her heart: "The location of Alexander and the others."

Circle after circle of ring patterns suddenly lit up on the "Pale Bone Nail", a circle of faint light swayed, and it fell to the front left with a slight buzzing sound, pointing out the direction for her.
