Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

When the night came again, the place where Klein entered the dreamland was not the courtyard of the Black Monastery. Despite his disappointment, he didn't let the change of his mentality show on his face.

Because "Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette Gustaf was standing not far ahead, looking over from the top of the black staircase covered in reliefs.

The stained glass on the high place is magnificent in color, and the decaying dusk is torn by those broken grids, and the scattered large spots of light are spliced ​​into a long blanket and spread under the feet of the two.

Klein stepped up the stairs, and after Esther deliberately reminded him, he already knew the identity of the other party—"Queen of Mysteries", a big figure in the mysterious world, and the eldest daughter of Russell Gustav.

His proactive attitude seemed to have caught Bernadette a bit by surprise, and she later issued a corresponding warning: "Self-confidence is sometimes a shortcoming."

The uneasiness in Klein's heart was fleeting, and his confidence came more from the peculiarity of the gray mist. Although he knew in his heart that Bernadette's reminder was reasonable, he still responded to it calmly.

During the chat between the two, Bernadette took advantage of Heath Doyle's influence and turned the topic to "Hamel": "The 'parasite' on that skylark has some very special abilities. Appeasement is even more effective than the sealed item that Cattleya gave Hiss."

Klein remained silent. He didn't want to reveal information about Esther to Bernadette, especially when the other party was a bit higher than both of them.

The last time Esther showed a very respectful attitude towards Bernadette in the library, she was also euphemistically reminding Klein that the "Queen of Mysteries" is quite powerful, and it is more beneficial to give respect than to make enemies.

Bernadette didn't expect Gehrman to respond to this either: "Your companion has a lot of secrets. Although you are the same, her situation may be worse than yours."

"She made a deal with you?"

"One has been achieved, and one is still in the future." Bernadette's voice became softer, "I exchanged a 'card of blasphemy', hoping she can help me save my father."

Although he was shocked, Klein firmly showed the indifference that Gehrman should have: "Emperor Roselle is still alive?"

Bernadette shook her head: "I don't know, but I always have some hope."

But then, she spoke again: "The skylark incarnated as the 'Gospel Messenger', there have been rumors circulating from within the Aurora Society in the past few months. In fact, the ravings in this sea area also come from the true Creator, your friend I'm not surprised there will be a reaction."

Klein looked at Bernadette quietly and did not give any reaction to this sentence.

Bernadette's tone was still so gentle: "When she was trying to get out of this ship, the 'card of blasphemy' in my hand echoed."

"You closed the window."

"It was me, but we did not succeed in stopping her willingness to leave. The real Hamel has already left."

Klein's heart tightened suddenly: "What do you mean?"

"When you wake up, check that skylark more, it probably isn't your friend anymore."

Bernadette signaled Gehrman to follow her down the steps, and the two went to the deepest part of the corridor.

Klein's thoughts changed rapidly, but he had to return to the real world to be confirmed. If what Bernadette said was true...

He just needs to check one more thing to get the answer.

Bernadette stopped in front of a black door, the strange patterns carved out of relief were full of strange power.

Bernadette pushed open the door.

A flowing golden ocean appeared in front of the two, but the dream was violently turbulent.

A powerful breath leaked from the door, and the entire dream world became precarious.

Bernadette closed the black wooden door again.

But before the door was closed tightly, Klein clearly caught a glimpse of the shadow of a flying bird. Although its shape was pitch-black and variegated, there was a faint gleam of light around it, as if it was covered with a veil.

"what is that?"

"Whether you're asking about the ocean or the ghostly shadow of a wandering bird, I don't know. I probably know less than one percent of the secrets of this monastery."

Although vague, Klein always had a vague intuition that the phantom was the incarnation of "Zoya" left in a certain shell, just like the snake that Esther once said, and a more suitable carrier could bear it. More points of light.

The instruction given by "Zoya" to those incarnations of light spots is to stay with "Darborg" until the moment the god falls, and it also falls into this dream.

In the end, it was also eroded by the remaining power in the dream, and became a shadow lingering in the depths.

-

In the courtyard of the black monastery filled with huge arrows, Esther didn't know how long she had been waiting.

The environment here does not change with time, and the constant dusk hangs in the sky. When no one is active here, the courtyard full of traces of destruction looks even more desolate.

Esther has been recalling the previous chat between the "Queen of Mysteries" and Klein. She tried her best to hide the Tarot Society from Klein. She thought that "The World" and Klein were just a teacher-student relationship. "Acting in the identity of Tarot Club members...

Now it seems that Klein may have already entered the sight of The Fool.

Because the starting point was wrong from the beginning, the more Esther's thinking stretched, the further she went astray.

Suddenly, the scene in the courtyard became distorted and turbulent. Esther was very happy to see the figures of several people appearing one after another, but after observing these people, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed—Klein didn't show up.

But it's good to have someone else, it's better than waiting for one person's cranky thinking.

Esther flew not far from Frank Lee and saw him trying to bury something in the soil, smiling all over her face.

Esther was very curious, and couldn't help jumping to the side, looking at the buried seeds suspiciously: "Frank, what are you doing?"

"I improved the parasitic plants I cultivated before! Maybe it's better to let them secrete milk by themselves, so that they won't go to other places, and won't let the 'Future' produce milk..." Frank enthusiastically He waved his arms twice, digging more vigorously into the soil on the ground.

Has "Future" produced milk?How many things have happened in the real world, such a bizarre situation, I have been sleeping and not waking up, and I haven't caught up with anything!
Esther gave a dry laugh twice, depressed: "Haha, then go for it."

Then Esther quickly moved away from where Frank was, for fear that Frank would have a whim in the dream and wanted to catch Lark to cultivate something.

Thinking about it on the bright side, at least Frank hasn't cultivated a killer plant yet...No, he is already a pirate with a bounty, nicknamed "Toxin Expert", maybe he really has piranhas or something like that Things, just a highly poisonous plant is enough to make people afraid.

Lark flew to the shadow where Heath Doyle was squatting. Even in the dream, Heath subconsciously chose the darkest corner.

However, when he saw something flying close, his dull eyes became a little more flexible, and he raised his arm subconsciously so that Skylark could stand firmly on it.

"Heath, how are you feeling now?"

Heath just nodded numbly, did not speak, and was as silent as a sculpture.

Esther turned her head: "Do you still hear the sound on the boat?"

"Yes, it's always there when I'm outside." Heath's tone sounded distressed and sad. Although he didn't have many expressions in the dream, he was more emotional when he spoke than in the real world.

Esther was still worried that Heath would remain silent. Since he would respond, Esther immediately asked what Klein had said: "The 'Future' passed by a wheezing ruin before. What did you hear there?"

Heath buried his head down, and every sentence trembled because of fear: "There is a dead body there, it is very scary, no matter who the dead body is, it has entered death in extreme pain..."

It was difficult for Esther to suppress the inexplicable sadness in her heart. She comforted Heath softly. It was not until his mood stabilized that the skylark spread its wings and left Heath's arms that had been held flat.

Esther flew towards the gate leading to the depths of the monastery. She remembered that Klein brought her out from here before. Since Klein is not outside now, maybe he will be inside?
With this in mind, Skylark, who was eager to seek more answers from Klein, didn't stay long. A circle lit up around the bird, and through the power of distorting the dream, it barely opened a small gap, and then jumped into the hall inside. .

Anderson is still here, lying in an easy chair with his hands behind his head, leisurely looking at the paintings on the dome.

After Esther flew over, she grabbed Anderson's arm twice, forcing the "Strongest Hunter in the Misty Sea" to give up a handrail so that she could have a place to stand.

"You don't always stand on Gehrman's head or shoulders. Why do you have to make room for you?" Anderson looked at the bird that could be awake even in dreams, and couldn't help but ask a few words.

"Because I despise you, it will be bad luck if I touch you."

Anderson hesitated to speak, and leaned on the back of the chair helplessly: "Can't you help? Last time you said you could help me solve this troublesome matter."

"I think it's polite of me not to make you more unlucky."

"I don't think you are polite at all," Anderson stretched his waist, and continued to look up at the mural above, which is called a work of art, "Although you talk more than Gehrman and look lively, in fact, you have a worse temper than him .”

Esther gestured with her claws, wanting to point it out, but bird claws are not suitable for such manipulation, so she temporarily gave up the idea.

Anderson didn't pay attention to Skylark's small movements, and continued on his own: "But how can you move freely in your dreams? That's right, it probably has something to do with your ability to solve my bad luck. Speaking of which, I haven't seen you on the boat. your turn."

Anderson paused: "You won't sleep until we leave and you won't be able to wake up? Then your body in the real world--"

"Shut up, you!" Esther screamed, full of the urge to scratch the crow's mouth.
