Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 237 Adventurers Also Raise Birds
After Esther finished her lunch and left the restaurant, the people fighting at the door had long since disappeared. She also saw two broken teeth on the side of the road. It is not difficult to imagine the tragic scene at that time.

The crimson color on Esther's cheeks has not faded since she drank up the bottle of Nepos.

She quickly got into an alley, and Esther didn't wait long when an innocent passing seagull landed nearby.

After being attacked by a ball of light, the seagull spread its wings and flew away happily, spinning in mid-air for several times, before soaring towards the hotel.

Klein also returned to the hotel after a while. He looked at the seagull squatting by the open window, noticed the yellow stripes on the back of its head, and took off his hat to it.

The skylark that had been squatting on Klein's shoulder flew up happily, and threw itself into the seagull's arms. After rubbing against it twice, it backed away, and jumped up and down happily by the window.

As soon as the light on the seagull's body shone, it reintegrated into the body of the skylark. The seagull shook its head blankly. Seeing a figure walking towards itself, the instinct of fear prompted it to scream and fly out of the window.

"Does this skylark react in any way?"

"No." Klein recalled the performance of the Skylark squatting quietly on his top hat from the beginning to the end. When eating the whale meat strips, he smacked twice, and then squatted back.

"Pretty good." He added.

Skylark's eyes turned around Klein suspiciously: "It seems that you have a lot of affinity for it?"

Klein remained calm: "I don't know."

But he felt a little guilty in his heart. Klein knew that he had a special gray fog on his body. The light balls on the gray fog had the same source as the light spots on Esther's body. The spirit bodies driven by these light spots were close to him, which also fit Evidence that "Zoya" itself was suppressed by "The Fool".

Esther must not be allowed to know about this... Klein has no intention of revealing his vest!

Skylark didn't care about Klein's vague denial, but after shaking its feathers twice, it flew to the soft cushion on the sofa.The little bird made a little depression on it, and then nestled leisurely:
"Have you made an appointment with that great pirate?"

"Yes, tonight at eight o'clock we will go to Pier [-] to board the ship and head directly to the easternmost part of the Sonia Sea." Klein hung his top hat and coat on the coat rack by the door.

"Can you help me carry my satchel when the time comes?" Skylark blinked her pale eyes, with anticipation in her expression.

"Okay." Klein didn't think it was a big deal, "You've always maintained this parasitic state?"

Esther nodded her head: "The 'Admiral of the Stars' should also be an Extraordinary, and that talking bird is not too strange to her. Anything in the Extraordinary world is possible."

Klein thought for a moment, then said seriously: "It's best not to reveal your identity."

"I won't. I'm not going to tell them I'm a 'parasite,' and I'm not going to introduce myself to them. You can name me a bird if you want."

"Bird's name." Although such a play on words sounded cold, and Klein really wanted to laugh, he still maintained his acting instinct as a character.

Esther snickered a few times, then tossed out a random name: "Or you can call me Norns."*
Klein thought it sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it before: "Well, at least it's better than the name of the bird."

"I didn't really ask you to call me 'Bird Name'!" Esther couldn't help retorting.

Klein didn't wait for the rest of the time. Esther took out a book in Intis from his satchel and lent him to pass the time.

Skylark squatted on the soft cushion of the sofa and dozed off. When he raised his head, he always stared at the flames in the fireplace in a daze. Klein couldn't see the emotion floating in its eyes.

Suddenly, the inspirations of Esther and Klein were touched at the same time, and Lark's eyes turned around, because he stared at Klein with "don't mess around", Esther finally just squatted obediently in the same place, pretending to be herself It's just an ordinary passing bird.

The shadow of the curtain twisted and swayed, and floated up from the ground. Esther suddenly thought of the slime monster, and felt a certain desire to explore.

But because the food didn't look delicious, and Klein gave him a warning look in advance, Esther quietly watched the shadow threatening, telling "Gehrman Sparrow" not to interfere with the "Undead King" things.

After the creeping darkness merged into the shadows and everything in the room returned to normal, Esther stared in the direction of the window and smacked her lips enthusiastically: "Are you going to catch that guy?"

She also wanted to see if the Parasitic Extraordinary could use the opponent's ability, which was much less restricted than the ability to simply steal.

"No, we're going to board the ship soon, there's no need to get involved in unrelated matters." Klein always felt that Esther seemed to have become more "active".

Esther flapped her wings twice, but said nothing more.

Klein considered reporting this matter to the local God of War church, but out of consideration for the strength of the local church, Klein didn't think they could take any effective actions.In the case of the prevalence of pirates nearby, the church mainly focuses on garrison and defense against attacks, and it is difficult to allocate additional strength to fight against the sharks at sea.

This is why as long as there is no major incident in Nass, the pirates will hardly be sanctioned, and they can sail freely in the nearby waters, which has the nickname "Pirate Paradise".

Before seven o'clock, Klein stood up from his chair: "I'm going to the bathroom."

"Are we leaving soon?"

"Ah."

Esther watched the door of the bathroom close, and always felt that this situation had a certain sense of déjà vu, probably an illusion.

When Klein came out, Esther was sitting by the window, looking out.

Seeing Klein looking over, Esther nodded at him: "That guy seems to be still nearby, I always feel like I'm being watched."

Klein counted the bullets on his body for the last time before putting on the cloak: "It doesn't matter, we will take a taxi to the pier now, and leave him alone."

Soon, after Klein prepared his belongings, the crazy adventurer headed for Pier Six with Skylark sitting on top of his top hat.

-

The large sailing ship faded away from the veil of night and slowly floated to the side of the pier. The faint crimson moonlight illuminated the high-hanging flag, and ten white stars of the same size surrounded the eyes without eyelashes.

This informs the beholder of its identity - "Admiral of the Stars", "Future".

There was a little panic in the pier area, no matter what, this was a pirate general, the coastal defense guns were adjusted, and the black muzzle was aimed at the huge sailing ship that did not hide itself.

The clock struck eight o'clock.

The "Hermit" lady of the Tarot Society and the "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya stood at the bow of the ship, with many symbols and magic signs drawn on the black classical robe.The star-studded transparent long bridge stretched out from her feet, and the light continued to scatter and condense, leading directly to the pier.

Klein sighed inwardly. He didn't want to be so high-profile, but since the other party had made such a big show, he calmly stepped onto the long bridge.

Esther's very slight voice came into his ears: "It's not as good as Magpie Bridge."

Klein desperately told himself to calm down and hold back, he couldn't laugh or complain, he must maintain the demeanor that Gehrman should have!
On the other side, Cattleya watched the stern man wearing gold-rimmed glasses approaching step by step.

She fantasizes and guesses about a lot of situations, including all kinds of surprises that might arise from meeting "Gehrman Sparrow" - but that definitely doesn't include a bird.

A skylark was squatting on the top hat of the legendary crazy adventurer, obediently tilting its head towards her, its bright light-colored eyes were full of humanity.

When Gehrman took off his hat and saluted, the skylark also flew down in coordination and landed on his left shoulder.The bird also stretched its right wing in front of its body, bowed slightly, and saluted Cattleya together with Gehrman.

Cattleya's purple eyes suddenly changed, and a tunnel-like deep color filled her pupils. She opened her eyes to observe the other party's spirit body.

Then she saw a foggy light. If it wasn't for the crimson moon hanging in the sky, Cattleya might think she saw another sun that had collapsed.

This kind of light is not strong, gentle and cold, but it keeps changing on Gehrman's left shoulder, showing a twisted and stable contradictory form, so that the light of the sealed items on Gehrman's body is covered up.

In addition, there is another kind of decayed and cold gray suppressed in this light, which is quite inconspicuous.

The unknown light instantly stung Cattleya's eyes, she didn't dare to look any more, she couldn't help closing her eyes, and quickly restrained her observations.

But even with just such a flash, it was enough for Cattleya to see Gehrman Sparrow's luxurious configuration, not to mention the innocent skylark, which was the most threatening existence on him!

Demi god?Sequence Four or Sequence Three?Maybe not an angel yet...

What the hell is going on with this bird and the crazy adventurer?He is really just a student of "World", not "World" himself?
Of course Cattleya would find that light familiar, it looked exactly like the crystal ball hanging from the Temple of the Fool!This confirms the identity of the "world" as a favored person. Furthermore, the students of the "world" are also favored persons?
"Good evening, Mr. Sparrow." Cattleya said this, she didn't make any further greetings, but directly led him to the entrance of the cabin.

After all, this is Nas where the official church is stationed, and there are many other pirates nearby. As a member of the pirate general, Cattleya doesn't want to stay here for a long time, because it will attract too much attention from all parties.

After both of them walked into the cabin, the starlight long bridge built by "Future" collapsed a little bit in the air. It moved again, and the hull smashed into the waves, drawing a whitening arc.

It wasn't until the sailboat sailed slowly towards the east along the whaling route that the tense atmosphere in Nass Harbor completely dissipated.

When the "Future" was fully integrated into the night, the people who watched it by the pier followed the shadows and quickly left here.
