Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 623 Endless Road

Not long after meeting Esther, Klein used the ability of the "Faceless Man" to change his appearance from a disguised stranger to what "Klein Moretti" should look like.

Mainly because he thought of the twists and turns brought about by his previous identity as "The World", Klein didn't want to use the appearance of "German Sparrow". Although he knew that Esther would not squeeze him at this time, what's more...

Amon, who was walking between the two people, had a lantern in his hand at some point. It was covered with a thin layer of animal skin, and the burning oil inside gave off a slightly pungent burnt smell. The dim light could only illuminate a few meters around, but it was enough for the darkness ahead.

Seeing Klein glance over, Amon casually handed the lantern in his direction and said, "Take it."

Klein was a little surprised. He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Where did you get this from?"

"Of course I stole them. I didn't like the new lanterns they use now, so I stole a lot of the old ones."

Esther instantly understood what the new lantern was made of.

Klein didn't say anything else. He just took it silently and looked in Esther's direction. Well, he didn't have to worry too much about her. Several balls of light were floating next to Esther, much brighter than the animal skin oil lamp.

It wouldn't matter even if Klein didn't hold the lantern. The range of those suspended light balls had already covered all three of them.

Norns was lying in Esther's palm very intimately, making sharp chirps from time to time, and Esther was comforting it in a low voice. The content of the comfort included many accusations against Amon, and obviously there was a lot of personal emotions mixed in.

Listening to her chattering, Klein's fluctuating thoughts calmed down again. At this moment, he felt a trance-like feeling of having never experienced any setbacks. It was not until the lightning snake that had cut through the darkness above his head disappeared again that Klein silently let out a long sigh in his heart.

He held the lantern tightly in his hand and continued to move forward following Amon's steps, carefully keeping a certain distance from the elusive "Angel of Time".

Dusk fell behind the three people. The darkness swallowed their shadows, but the light stretched the footprints under their feet longer, forming a winding bruise.

"The afternoon town is just ahead. There are several exploration teams stationed here by Silver City. Do you want to go and say hello?"

Esther pointed at herself curiously: "Are you asking me?"

"What else? You are their 'evangelist' now. They have already started to spread the word." Amon seemed to be happy to see the embarrassment and awkwardness on Esther's face. "Praise you for bringing a little seed in the darkness, symbolizing the harbinger of hope -"

“Stop, stop! Don’t say any more!” Esther quickly stopped Amon, to prevent him from saying anything more exaggerated. “I didn’t do anything… or did you do anything behind this?”

Amon actually showed a little grievance on his face: "Why, has doubting me become your fixed thinking logic?"

Esther's answer was very frank: "No, it's just that I have too many reasons to doubt you."

"It's not me who did anything this time. It should be—" Amon paused for a few seconds, then shook his head in confusion, "Anyway, it wasn't me."

Esther stared at him in surprise: "You also have something that bothers you?"

Amon merely showed a playful smile, and almost said "guess". Seeing his reaction, Esther was very tactful and did not ask any further questions, so as to avoid being misled by Amon and associating a more unconventional "truth".

The three of them did not approach Afternoon Town, but only looked at the lights hanging outside the city wall from afar. Klein looked at those "lanterns" shining brightly in the darkness and was speechless for a moment.

He was very familiar with that light, which made Klein subconsciously look to his side. After all, the same ball of light was floating above Esther's head. The smile on Esther's face could not hide the embarrassment in her heart: "They really are everywhere..."

"Because this light source is very convenient, and unlike torches, there is no risk of it going out." Amon pointed in the direction of the afternoon town camp from a distance, "They have planted these things almost all over the safe road. If He had no reaction at all, I would find it suspicious, but now..."

After a pause, Amon shook his head, and the inexplicable confusion appeared on his face again: "He may have his own reasons for doing this."

He? Who was this He that Amon was talking about? Klein pondered in his mind, but when he glanced at Esther, he found that she also had a similar confusion on her face - it was obvious that Esther didn't know who Amon was talking about.

On the other side, the Silver City exploration team sounded the alarm to the members stationed there the moment they discovered the light.

Here, the light coming from the depths of darkness is definitely not a normal phenomenon - usually only humans, only survivors, need the protection of light.

However, such a weak flame might have come from some unknown monster, so the remaining team members immediately went into alert, and those who were taking turns to rest were also awakened.

But nothing happened. The flickering light did not approach Afternoon Town, but instead circled away from it.

The team members in charge of guarding hurriedly reported to the elders of the "Six-member Council" who remained in the camp, but before they could make further action plans, the three blurry figures had gradually gone away.

Amon asked Esther with a smile: "Are you really not going to take a look?"

Esther just shook her head: "Forget it, I'm not suitable for this kind of occasion..."

"You can blame it all on him, Fool, can't you?"

This time, it was Klein who shook his head.

Amon glanced at Klein and said, "It's just a suggestion anyway. This is a good opportunity to expand the anchor."

Although what he said was correct, Klein did not speak. He just silently looked at the tall guard running along the wall of the afternoon town.

Where there is light, there must be darkness. The shadow curled up in the darkness agitated for a moment, then calmed down without attracting anyone's attention.

Only Amon adjusted his monocle. This was a habitual little gesture and Esther did not take it to heart.

Inside the camp of Afternoon Town, the woman who was listening to the sounds in the darkness had her eyes half closed and her breathing was steady, as if she was asleep.

But soon, the peace was broken by a shout: "Elder Lovia! Someone just passed by the camp with a light source!"

Lovia pulled herself away from the whispers in her ear and returned to reality. The index finger that she had pulled out and swallowed earlier had grown back and was fully restored, leaving only a stain of blood on the bandage.

Luo Weiya calmly put away the blood-stained bandage, quickly walked out of the house where she was staying, and quickly calmed down the nervous team members.

Her Lord is watching in the darkness and waiting in the darkness.
