Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 622 Tripartite Meeting

Walking on the sea of ​​clouds, gazing at the palace from afar that appeared in myths and legends, until he walked into the dusk filled with a sense of decadence, Klein's mood became increasingly calm and peaceful.

He should have been worried and struggling about the current situation, but for some reason, unlike his past experiences, Amon appeared directly in front of him this time. Apart from the initial shock, he did not bring Klein much definite fear.

just like……

"As if you are sure that I won't hurt you?" Amon rolled his eyes, not knowing what he remembered, and there was a noticeable dissatisfaction on his face. "Yes, I changed my mind."

"It's not just that." Klein couldn't grasp the specific description, but he did have a different feeling in his heart. "I always feel like you are afraid of something?"

Amon laughed wantonly, then took a breath, with fake pity in his dark eyes: "Me? Afraid of you? Then you think too highly of yourself."

Klein looked calm. He hugged Norns tightly in his palm and gently stroked its head as it looked around. "Of course it's not afraid of me. I understand this. Maybe it's the Lord of Mysteries."

Amon did not deny it, but just snorted vaguely.

Led by Amon, the two approached the projection of the Giant King's Court. Although Amon did not have the key, he only needed to "borrow" the ability of his "apprentice" to easily open a door frame that spanned the substance, forming a passage large enough for the two to pass through.

Amon suddenly frowned. Before stepping into the illusory door, he said to Klein, "It's strange. You don't even have much thought of escaping."

"It's not just you. I find it weird too."

Klein replied truthfully, but his frankness made Amon speechless. The "thief" then began to think about Klein's trump card and re-examined the special connection between him and "Source Castle".

Amon had seen a few Sequence 3 "Ancient Scholars". Apart from the bright gray fog, he could not see anything special about Klein. Even if he used the "uniqueness", the result would be the same - no trace of the past or the future.

Amon shook his head: "You should be afraid."

"I don't know. I just think it's nothing to be afraid of."

Klein looked at the door whose safety was unknown, but his spiritual intuition gave him a subtle sense of nostalgia, and he actually walked over before Amon.

The "thief" who was left behind was stunned for a moment, then his frown smoothed out and he followed him in.

What a boring guy, Amon couldn't help but think.

There was a subtle difference between this "Klein Moretti" and the "Lord of Mysteries" in Amon's memory. Compared to the memory of another "Amon", Amon was more willing to believe his intuition at the moment, that there was something wrong with the candidate that Zoya expected.

Klein had no idea about this, and he didn't even know why he felt so at ease.

It was just that the sense of inner peace that was realized when Klein saw her—he even smiled unconsciously at the worry on her face.

Esther's attire was slightly different from the last time Klein saw her. She was no longer wearing a nun's outfit. She was just wearing a plain black dress, which made her slightly shiny blonde hair look particularly soft. In the dim night, she looked more like a bud that could fade and wither at any time.

She didn't look injured, and from the look in her eyes, Klein knew that she was still the Esther he knew, and not someone else - this was the best outcome.

Klein still had a lot of things he wanted to ask her, but this was not the right time to reminisce.

So Amon was still the first one to speak among the three: "Hi, wait a long time, I'm back with our guests." The crow on Esther's shoulder jumped happily, but before it could say anything, it turned into a ray of light and was directly rolled into Amon's sleeve, leaving it no chance to speak.

Klein did not approach, but stopped a few meters away. He remembered that he should keep his distance, and the faint smile disappeared. But it was useless for him to frown. The skylark in Klein's arms was more anxious than him. After a shrill scream, it almost couldn't wait to jump out of Klein's hand, flew towards Esther, and flew straight into her raised palm.

As soon as Esther heard it, she looked at Amon angrily and said, "Why are you still bullying Norns? Is this necessary?"

Amon looked innocent: "I didn't do anything, I just scared it a little - otherwise, would I scare the invited guests?"

Klein only glanced at Esther a few times at first, then looked away and gazed at the silent darkness of the God-Forsaken Land. He listened to the conversation between the two and pretended not to exist without saying a word.

“You still have the nerve to say that you’re inviting me? You—” Esther’s high-pitched voice suddenly stopped. She sighed heavily and stopped looking at Klein, who had an indifferent expression on his face. She just stared at Amon, “What exactly do you want to do?”

Amon walked up to Esther and, taking advantage of the height difference between them, looked down at her with a smile: "You have been unwilling to give me such an opportunity to have a good talk with your 'candidate', so I can only think of a way to invite him to participate in this conversation. In fact, it didn't take much time, and I must first state that I did not take any 'radical' measures."

"Kidnapping someone isn't an invitation," Esther corrected, "especially since you're 'parasitizing' him."

When he saw Esther walking towards him, Klein was obviously a little nervous. He did not use the ability of "Joker" to hide his true reaction, which made Esther stop nervously.

Esther hesitated for a moment, but still tried to put on a smile: "Well... I'm just going to perform a magic trick for you, don't move."

After saying that, she held the calmed Norns in her left hand, stretched out her right hand close to Klein's ear, and snapped her fingers lightly.

Amid the crisp sound, Klein saw a halo of light swaying from the ends of Esther's hair, which quickly spread out from her. When the light swept over him, a certain heaviness that was suppressed in his spiritual intuition was also swept away.

"Hey!" Amon on the other side shouted unhappily.

Esther retracted her right hand that had just snapped her fingers and shook it at Klein, as if she was showing off her "magic".

Klein could see a time worm with a link twisting vigorously between her index finger and thumb. Even though it didn't make a sound, Klein could almost hear an even more unhappy complaint.

Esther smiled and took it back in her hand, and when Norns shouted excitedly, she scolded in a low voice: "No, you can't eat this. You can't just think of eating a bite of everything."

After being freed from the "parasite", Klein felt that he needed to say something: "Well... thank you."

“You’re welcome.” Esther responded in a low voice, as if she was worried that Klein would have a different reaction. After so many things that had happened, such a reunion made her so embarrassed that she wanted to find a place to hide.

Amon did not stop Esther's actions, nor did he directly try to "parasitize" Klein again. He knew that Esther would do so again.

Amon simply opened his hand to her, and when Esther handed it over, he took back the Time Worm that was still complaining: "Even if you don't help, he has other shelters."

"this is nothing."

Esther said quietly, staring straight at the darkness of the God-Forsaken Land. But even without looking, she was fully aware of the complex emotions woven into Klein's body.

Obviously, "thank you" and "you're welcome" were not what either of them wanted to say.
