Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

After calming down, Esther stuffed the box containing the monocle into her satchel, and it became bulging all of a sudden, taking up quite a lot of space.

Esther didn't dare to put this thing around, so she could only carry it with her. She was afraid that something would put on the monocle as soon as she turned her head, and she would be frightened and at a loss what to do.

When Esther went to Aaron's room, Alexander and Thomas were already here, but after she knocked on the door and entered the room, the three immediately stopped their original conversation.

Aaron pointed to another empty chair that was moved in: "Sit down first, we have a lot to talk about."

Thomas spoke first: "First of all, it's about your itinerary. Are you sure you won't go back to the 'Clover'?"

Esther smiled and sat down on the chair: "Yes, I don't plan to go back. I should go to Tilis and find a chance to go to sea."

For no other reason, she can stay more at ease only on the untouched sea, away from places where the Amon family may be present, and Intis does not feel much security to her.

Alexander still looked calmly: "It seems that you don't plan to go to Trier with us."

Esther shook her head more firmly: "I won't go, I will probably find a remote place to seek a way to get promoted."

Trier?Trier, which used to be the capital of the Tudor Empire, would only be more dangerous. There might be places where all kinds of Amons gathered for meetings!

Esther has no interest in putting herself in the jaws of a tiger.

Aaron rubbed his chin: "Well, we have actually discussed this result. Anyway, it's a pleasure to get your help along the way."

Esther just smiled and didn't say anything. If she really wanted to talk about vested interests, she actually got more, including the monocle that made her feel hairy. This is a magical item at the "parasite" level.

But when it comes to "you can't ask for it", this thing seems a bit too deceitful...

Esther rolled her eyes: "Aaron, did your teacher agree to give me this demigod-level Extraordinary item because he really wanted to get rid of it?"

After a few seconds of silence, Aaron laughed dryly:
"Aha, that's right. The extraordinary item of the 'Thief' has limited utility to us, and the ability of this item is not stealing, but an even weirder 'parasitic'."

"It can allow the person wearing the glasses to parasitize any human or animal, insects are also fine. But the parasite will gradually lose itself after more than 24 hours. This situation will cause great trouble for the user, and eventually the person will forget himself. Once human."

Alexander took out his small notebook again, and rummaged for a while: "According to the records, this monocle will also randomly move things within three meters around it, steal it for a while and then throw it out, very randomly. The wearer will have a tendency to steal, And language and behavior present a chaotic logic that is diametrically opposed."

The more Esther heard, the more something was wrong: "Do you know where this thing came from?"

Aaron shrugged indifferently: "It is said that it is an item left by a certain 'thief' family, and we don't know the more specific content. It is also impossible to perform divination, and it itself has anti-divination properties."

Esther is almost certain now that her previous sense of panic was not only from her psychological shadow, but also from her intuition that never failed. This shit did have something to do with Amon.

Is it really safe to carry this thing?

"Aaron, where did your teacher keep this thing?"

"I don't know about this. My teacher has mastered many magical items, and this is just one of them." Aaron replied.

Esther always felt that there was an extra hot potato in her satchel, but she was reluctant to throw it away, and dared not stutter. The contradictory mood made her quite distressed.

Aaron looked at Esther's struggling expression and cleared his throat: "Hey, let's move on to the next thing?"

"Speak, I'm listening." Esther leaned back on the back of the wooden chair, refocusing her attention on the conversation at hand.

"My teacher told me that I can give you the summoning spell of her messenger, but there is a little thing."

Seeing Aaron's face full of trickery, Esther had no choice but to urge: "What? You can finish it all at once, and I won't be distracted anymore."

"She asked me to ask you if you know any information about the 'Tarot Society' or 'The Fool'."

Esther stared at Aaron expressionlessly for a few seconds, then slowly raised the corners of her mouth: "Guess?"

Aaron moved his body uncomfortably in the armchair, his heartbeat was speeding up because of an inexplicable sense of fear, this was the first time he noticed the sense of intimidation in Esther: "I'm just responsible for bringing this One word!"

Esther pondered for a few seconds with a puzzled expression, then nodded: "I know. There were people in Backlund who were looking for this 'God', is this all right?"

"Well, that's it, my teacher didn't actually ask you to give an answer..."

Esther rubbed the center of her right eyebrow, but she quickly thought about why the "Queen of Mysteries" would think of asking herself this question, plus the "Dark Emperor" she mentioned before, it seems necessary to write a letter to remind Ke Ryan, the Mr. World he knew was in a little trouble, and was being targeted by a pirate king who was paying attention to Roselle.

Klein and Mister "World"... always feel that there is something wrong with this relationship.

Esther waved her hand at Aaron: "It's okay, it's just that I was a little irritable because of thinking about things just now, you can continue."

Alexander spoke before Aaron. He had watched the conversation silently like Thomas before, but now because Aaron was a little in a trance, Alexander took the initiative to join the conversation:

"If you still have any conditions, you can bring them up now. We won't be able to help you until we separate."

Of course, Esther would not miss this good opportunity: "There is one more thing. I want to ask if you know of any underground Extraordinary channels in Dilis? It's best in the form of a gathering."

Thomas laughed immediately: "The condition is too simple. I have two places I can recommend to you, a bar and a dance hall, both of which are very safe."

Thomas told Esther the meeting time and code of the two gatherings. After Esther took notes carefully, she said that she had no other needs.

Aaron shrugs again, which he does a little too much today:
"Well, I don't have anything to do here. Remember these incantations: 'Invisible creatures roaming the upper world; Strange spirits that are friendly to humans; Messenger that belongs exclusively to Bernadette Gustav '."

Esther's hand trembled, and she grasped it subconsciously. She didn't deliberately suppress the shocked expression on her face: "Who does it belong to alone!?"

"Aaron's teacher." Thomas seemed to be smiling happily. Although he didn't know why Hamel was so shocked, it didn't prevent him from having a good time.

Esther's face gradually wrinkled, and she finally understood why the "Queen of Mysteries" exhausted her mind to ask her to help save Emperor Russell. That was Russell Gustav, her father...

In this way, everything makes sense. Esther's understanding of those fairy tales has attracted the interest of the "Queen of Mysteries", so she is willing to let Esther stay on the "Clover" to observe this story through the eyes of Aaron and the others. Strange young lady.

Why would she ask me about "The Fool"?Is it because of the relationship with the "Dark Emperor", or because I borrowed the Roselle diary from Aaron before, or is it because the "Queen of Mysteries" wants to cooperate with "The Fool"? When Mister Fool was collecting Roselle's diary, did he learn something?
Could it be that, like Extraordinary characteristics, traversers also have a law of mutual attraction?

Esther couldn't help laughing at herself in her heart, the meeting between her and Klein in Tingen was a coincidence.

What a coincidence.

"It's okay, I have already memorized this messenger spell."

Esther covered her face and said, trying to adjust her expression, forcing herself to calm down.

At least don't yell at Russell Gustav's name in front of these "Queen of Mysteries" contacts, and there is no special reason. Esther just feels helpless about his daughter's little plan.

He was talking about entrusting him to save people, but in the end he delivered a very troublesome magical item to the door.Esther didn't know whether to thank the Gustave lady or write it down in a small notebook.

Does the Goddess of the Night know about this?No, He must know that Roselle is a time traveler, Roselle has done so many tricks in Intis, it is impossible for Evernight Goddess to guess his true identity.

Esther blinked hard twice, always feeling like she had missed someone else, but she didn't think of it for a while.

She looked at Aaron again: "Does the messenger who summoned your teacher have any other needs?"

Aaron shook his head: "No, just summon according to ordinary ritual magic."

"No need to give gold coins?"

Thomas looked at her with some amusement: "Of course not, why do you need gold coins?"

Esther's brows that had just calmed down frowned again. Every time she sent a letter to Klein, the four-headed messenger lady would ask for a gold coin...Compared with this, it's really too expensive!

She really needed to find her own messenger.

Thinking of this, Esther immediately asked Aaron: "Don't you have your own messenger?"

Aaron shook his head: "Although my Sequence has enough spirituality, it is not the type that is good at communication or spirit world creatures. I have no plan to form a messenger before the demigod."

It was rare for Thomas to know how to look at his face: "If you are curious, I can teach you how to communicate and establish a contract with the messenger."

This is exactly what Esther wanted: "It's troublesome."

After learning the general process of the contract messenger, the conversation between the few people has no more content.

Aaron and Esther got up almost at the same time, and reached out to each other.

The smile on Esther's face gradually faded: "Thank you for your kindness all this time."

Aaron didn't say anything, but nodded silently.

Esther also shook hands with Alexander: "You are a respectable person and a good teacher. I felt so at first sight, and I feel so even more now."

Under Alexander's thick lenses, his eyes flickered but were gentle: "Your Intis language is already very fluent, very smooth, and I hope your next journey will be the same."

When Esther stretched out her hand towards Thomas, an envelope was stuffed in her hand: "This is?"

Thomas gritted his teeth: "The false identity certificate used for you during this period is the pseudonym 'Hamel Brook'. Only with this thing can you buy a ticket. Is it possible that you have to go to Dili? S?"

That's right, they all knew it was a fake identity, and if the "Queen of Mysteries" knew it, it meant that Aaron knew it.

"Thank you."

Esther chuckled, turned and walked out the door.

"Goodbye."

The silence in the room did not ferment for a few seconds before it was broken by Thomas:

"We didn't drop a walking powder keg on Intis, did we?"

"Fate has its own destiny." Aaron prevaricated him with the most common words.
