Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Esther still remembered the last time she encountered the "Death", she used the necklace to open the passage to the spirit world, and the "Clover" fled away in embarrassment.

Esther just weighed it in her heart and came to a conclusion. The combat power of "Future" might be difficult to resist.

The two ships passed each other, and both sides fell silent. Both Esther and Klein could clearly see the pirates on the side of the opposite ship. They were quietly grabbing their weapons, but there was no sound at all.

And everyone in the "Future" was too nervous to speak out.

However, there was no movement on the "Death", until the two ships completely staggered and continued to sail in their respective directions, the anxiety in the hearts of the people on the "Future" was slightly relieved.

Even if Klein appeared indifferent on the surface, it was mostly due to Gehrman Sparrow's personality. Like everyone else, he had always maintained the highest level of vigilance, worried that the huge black sailboat would suddenly launch a bombardment.

Frank Li breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say something, the "Death", which was already a hundred meters away from the "Future", suddenly turned sideways, turned its sails and came back.

Sharp and piercing laughter suddenly enveloped the "Future", and the voice full of terrifying power was repeated, filling everyone's ears.

Such a hoarse and chaotic voice undulated into everyone's ears unimpeded, affecting them violently.

The sailors on the deck kept falling to the ground, covering their ears in pain and trying to avoid the sound. Some Beyonders had scales growing on their bodies, and Frank had a little brown hair on his face, panting heavily .

Even Klein was no exception, there were granulation squirming under the skin, but it was still within his tolerance.

Esther landed on the side of the ship and spread her wings that were not wide to both sides. The cold sea breeze seemed to set her off at any time and fly her upwards. She responded in her own way——

Esther contributed a song.

The song begins with a burst of yelling: "Yo ho ho ho ho ~ yo ho ho ho ho!"

A faint buzzing sound emerged, and the laughter suddenly became ethereal as if it was swept away by an invisible force.

Skylark held his head high, and amidst the slightly bumpy waves, this abrupt and discordant song kept echoing on the "Future":

"Send the fine wine of Intis to your side,
The sea breeze generally does whatever it wants, riding the wind and breaking the waves,
On the other side of the waves, the hustle and bustle of the sunset,
The song of the bird draws a circle in the air~"

Klein felt a piece of fireworks explode in front of his eyes. The light was not dazzling, but it gently nourished his spirituality, and quickly subsided the signs of losing control on his face.

The light spots were scattered one after another, drawing one after another wheel-like rings in the air, calming down the state of the crew on the "Future".The light spread out, mixed with strange buzzing sounds, and the frantic and malicious laughter from the "Death" was constantly being repelled, and the two voices seemed to be fighting each other.

Skylark's mouth opened and closed, and the voice was melodious:

"Goodbye Harbor, Land of Steam,
Come sing a song, Sail Sonata!

Gold waves and silver waves turn into water splashes,
We leave only because of the vast ocean~"

Skylark looked up at the window, just in time to meet the gaze cast by Cattleya, the black gap on the face of the "Admiral of the Stars" gradually shrank and returned to flesh color.

Cattleya nodded to Esther, and Esther immediately nodded her head, telling Cattleya to take the means of leaving here. Since she can become a member of the Admiral of the Sea, this lady should also have some kind of unique spells.

Those mystical symbols on the ship can't just be decorations carved for aesthetics.

"Send the fine wine of Intis to your side,
We pirates, cleave the waves,

Resting on the waves, taking the boat as home,
The sail flag is flying high in the wind~”

The humming sound continued to reverberate, and those Extraordinary people who showed signs of losing control gradually returned to their original appearance, while the expressions of the rest of the ordinary people gradually calmed down, constantly immersed in the singing.

Of course, Klein also noticed this weird scene. He was already in the best condition among the "humans" present.

Cattleya's palms were pressed on the window sill, and there were stars around her. The same light quickly spread to the entire "Future", and the hull became bright and bright.

A gust of wind blew up around it, and the sails adjusted automatically without anyone controlling it. Driven by Cattleya, the "Future" accelerated rapidly, almost flying across the sea, and quickly threw away the approaching "Future" Sue death".

Esther's singing continues:

"Under the boundless sky, the wind blows,
The waves dance and the drums sound,
Frightened, it will be over,
It is not without the rising sun of tomorrow! "

In the next burst of yelling, the high-pitched laughter that landed on the boat has faded away.

The feeling of being watched suddenly intensified, and Klein looked at the window where he had felt a mysterious eye watching him. The open window bumped back and forth in the strong wind, but no one appeared, and there was no change.

Inspired by the starlight, it unfolded and gathered under Cattleya's spell, condensing a pontoon bridge suspended in the air, supporting the "Future" steadily.

In the rapid flight accelerated by the wind, the shadow of the "Death" became farther and farther until it was finally invisible.

The weird laughter that would trigger people's inner madness is getting farther and farther away until it disappears completely, only the loud and light singing of the skylark, singing the song with changed lyrics full of vigor.

When Klein saw several crew members getting up from the ground, a smile even subconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Send the fine wine of Intis to your side,
Day after day, in the dusk of dreams,

The figure waving goodbye, never seeing the sun again,
Why are you frowning?Tomorrow night the moonlight will remain~”

Esther's voice was no longer as high-pitched as before, and her singing gradually softened and lowered. Those light spots flew back to her body and blended into her feathers, like tired birds returning to their nests, constantly falling to their perching places.

"Send the fine wine of Intis to your side, let's sing a song, the song of the sea..."

The skylark slowly retracted its wings that had been outstretched, and the same gentle light shone in its light-colored eyes, but the emotions inside were constantly surging, and finally stagnated in blank confusion.

Klein couldn't understand it, but he noticed that the lark was shaking weakly, and immediately dodged forward to catch the bird that fell from the ship's side.

Skylark struggled to raise his head, tried to look into Klein's eyes, and with his incomprehensible stubbornness, he read out the last few lines of lyrics in a very low voice: "No matter who it is, it will be a dry bone... There is no end, no purpose, Just a joke..."

Then its head hangs down feebly, curled up into a ball in Klein's palm.

Already standing still, Frank recovered from the singing just in time to see this scene: "Norns? Noens, is it all right!?"

Skylark's eyes were still closed, and he curled himself even tighter, obviously enduring pain.

The bird's weak voice also sounded trembling: "It's okay, it's over-consumption."

Esther is lying again.Klein thought so, he could hear it keenly.

Klein took off his top hat, put the fluffy bird inside and settled it, and walked back to the cabin step by step with the hat in his arms.

"I can help it prepare some food! When it gets better, you must come to me, I have a lot of crops with herbal effects!" Frank couldn't help shouting.

All eyes followed Gehrman, especially the top hat that was pointing up.

They all knew that it contained a never-before-heard boat song.

In the room where Klein once felt a sense of peeping, the window that had been open before suddenly moved by itself, as if an invisible hand was pulling on it, and it slowly closed inward until it was completely closed.

Cattleya called Frank several times before the bewildered man came back to his senses. She ordered: "Check the status of the personnel and ask everyone to rest quietly until they regain their energy."

Then Cattleya also retracted her body and closed the window forcefully.

-

Klein put the top hat on the desk, and the skylark inside struggled to get out, but he pressed it down with one finger.

After Klein set up a spiritual wall to isolate the prying eyes of the outside world, he sat down at the table and frowned at the poor skylark: "You are very weak now."

"I, I'm not weak..."

Klein looked at the trembling little bird and felt a headache from her stubbornness: "I can see it, anyone can see it."

His tone was not very good, which made Esther shrink back to the bottom of the top hat again, and stopped moving: "Yes."

Klein listened to the occasional buzzing sound from Esther's body, and sighed heavily: "In your case, we usually call it 'Holy Mother'."

This word sounds more like "holy mother" in Loen language, but Esther knew what Klein was referring to, and obediently listened to the instruction with her head bowed.

"Before you make a move, you should always make sure of your own situation and consider whether you can get out safely. Don't always blindly ignore yourself, and don't always think about sacrificing yourself first, especially when you don't have full control over your ability."

When Klein said this, he felt a little guilty, but the scene just now was far from critical enough to require Esther's help. Cattleya's flying ability was the key to getting rid of the "Death".

Even if Esther doesn't make a sound, the situation of everyone will not be irreversible.

Skylark raised his head, his light-colored eyes were full of confusion: "Actually, I seemed to be affected by the 'Death' too, but I didn't feel it at first."

"Until you start singing to appease us." Klein leaned back in the chair. Of course, he noticed that Esther's abnormality appeared only after singing most of the song.

"Then I felt something," Skylark propped up his body vigorously, but quickly lay down limply again, "I'm not sure, it might be a hallucination, no, it must be a hallucination..."

Klein didn't speak.

From the perspective of mysticism, there is no such thing as a complete "illusion". What Esther used at that time was not like any extraordinary ability of "Thief", but only the strange power belonging to "Zoya".

And the "monster" approach has a certain predictable special inspiration.

Klein pulled the top hat closer: "What did you see?"

Skylark looked at him, behind the blank eyes, there was panic full of self-doubt.

Esther's voice was still trembling:

"I seem to be dead, Klein."

*The lyrics are adapted from the famous song of One Piece, "Binks' Wine", which I like very much.

Elegy and joy, the truth of life.

From the moment I chose "Brooke" as the surname for the name "Hamel," I've been waiting to write this chapter today.
