Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

People who can settle in Queens, even if they just use a mansion as a meeting place, must have some kind of energy behind them.What's more, this honorable gentleman does live here, and every once in a while he will hold gatherings for wild Extraordinary people to trade and provide an unbiased intermediary channel.

Nuoen naturally would not tell Esther the true identity of that gentleman. Even though Nuoen suspected that Esther was also a Extraordinary, he did not disclose any content related to this gathering to her, but just passed it lightly.

Even Nuoen himself didn't know the real name of that gentleman, even though Nuoen had successfully promoted to "Listener" under his gaze and won the appreciation of this gentleman, Nuoen just called that code name like everyone else.

"Mr. A".

On Monday night, in a mansion in Queens, the party hosted by Mr. A will be held as scheduled.

It wasn't until the moment before stepping off the carriage that Norn took out the two black cloaks and full-face masks in the suitcase and handed one to Esther.

Esther was stunned for a moment, but didn't ask any more questions. The iron mask was covered with magnificent patterns of silver thread, covering her face coldly, covering her facial features, leaving only a pair of clear gray eyes exposed.The mask Norn wore was outlined with gold thread, and the two pulled the hood of the cloak over their heads. This scene made Esther feel that she should prepare a "magic wand" to wear on her body.

This outfit looks a bit too much like a wizard, she called Luna just casually!

"You must follow me closely, there will be many people inside."

Esther nodded, suppressing the tension in her heart. Her spiritual intuition responded, but it was only limited to the awareness of the existence of many Extraordinary people here, without any warnings that were too dangerous, which made Esther dare not completely let go of her heart.

Why is spiritual intuition still on strike?

When being led into the house by the waiter, Norn would glance back from time to time, although he could hear Esther's footsteps and her slightly nervous heartbeat, but Norn was still very hard to rest assured, for fear that he would be disturbed by such a gathering. Scared her off.

Norn led Esther to the corner, because there was already a figure in a hooded gown sitting in the innermost part, so they had to sit in the front row.

Esther took a second look at the person whose face was tightly covered by the hood, subconsciously thinking that it should be a woman.

Not knowing if it was because she was a little nervous, Esther swallowed her saliva, looked up at the guests who entered the venue, most of them had taken the same protection, after all, it was very dangerous to reveal their true colors on such occasions.Of course, there are also people who don't care, but whether the faces they expose belong to their true faces is impossible to confirm.

Although the most conspicuous person in the room was the gentleman sitting on the chair, subconsciously, Esther did not want to observe him. Her spiritual intuition was full of restlessness, which made Esther also start to feel anxious.

Nuoen noticed that Esther kept sweeping the eyes of the center and then moved away, and introduced her in a low voice: "That is the nobleman I told you, he can be called my guide. Everyone calls him A gentlemen."

What a strange name, is there BCD?Esther thought about it, collected herself, and finally set her sights on the party initiator.

Mr. A's face is also hidden in the shadow under the hood. His upper body leans forward slightly, like a poisonous snake with a taut body that chooses to bite. A violent erupting volcano.

If Mr. A hadn't been sitting there steadily since the two came in, Esther would have suspected that he would start to lose control the next second.Even after the party started, the waiters began to collect the notes from the guests, Mr. A still kept the posture of sitting quietly.

Norn explained the formal process here to Esther in a low voice: the demander or seller will hand over the note to the waiter, and the corresponding items will be listed on the blackboard. The other party seeks to communicate, or to strike a deal directly through the waiter.

A few minutes later, Esther's spiritual intuition was touched again. She closed her eyes and tilted her head, and asked in a low voice, "Nuen, Mr. A, is he not feeling well?"

As if hearing her words, Mr. A suddenly raised his head and turned towards this corner. His movements were stiff and tense, but his face was still completely covered by shadows, making it difficult to see clearly.

Esther felt that the hairs on the back of her neck were standing on end, as if she had turned into a frog targeted by a poisonous snake, but her spiritual intuition became still, which made Esther even more afraid to act rashly.

Can spiritual intuition be so unreliable! ?

Esther quickly constructed the corridors and entrances she had just passed in her mind, planned the escape route, and was ready to escape after being attacked by Mr. A on the spot.She didn't even have the confidence to take Norn away. Since he knew Mr. A, he wouldn't die here. Esther moved her fingers, as if she was warming up to play the piano.

But the expected hostile conflict did not come. Mr. A's vision under the hood gradually eased, and the dangerous aura that was on the verge of eruption in him was restrained again. Mr. A's body fell back, leaning on the soft back of the single sofa, he seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief, and then he resumed his condescending attitude, looking around the audience.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Mr. A regain such an arrogant posture, including the lady behind Esther. For some reason, she was more panicked than Esther who was being watched.

Esther really wanted to look back, but she was afraid of scaring the nervous lady, so she dismissed the idea.

Maybe she is also the kind of Extraordinary with inspiration boost, and she can feel that Mr. A's state is not right, so she is quite afraid.

After that brief eye contact ended, Mr. A did not look over, nor did he respond to Esther's staring gaze at him.

The lady at the back also asked the waiter to leave a note for the transaction request. Although Esther kept looking at the blackboard at the front, she had never heard of most of the things.

Esther, who had never been exposed to ritual magic, did not know about the Beyonder materials circulating in the market, and the Extraordinary formula had only been exposed to the "monster" of Sequence Nine.Sitting in this kind of Extraordinary trading market, she just felt suffocated by the rows of gold pounds in the back.

The taste of poverty is really heartbreaking.

Not long after, a waiter brought another note for transaction. The lady behind her seemed dissatisfied. A trip to the bathroom.

The lady didn't stay long, leaving early before the party was completely over.

When Forsi walked out of the assembly, her feet felt a little weak.

Although she didn't acquire the Sun Domain magical item that Mister "World" needed, it would be good to exchange gold pounds for the formula of "Master of Tricks", which saves other troubles. As long as the materials are collected, she can be promoted to Sequence eight.

Mr. A's feeling today is too terrifying. What's even more terrifying is that he turned his head to look at the corner.

I felt suffocated as a bystander. I really don't know how the person being targeted sat still. Seeing from behind, the person didn't even move, and he safely accepted Mr. A's gaze. Could it be that this is a master trick?

Forsi recalled the wonderful feeling on that person, and felt a little inexplicably kind, but she was not sure where she might have come into contact with the other person, so she could only continue to use her brain to relieve the tension and pressure in her heart.

It wasn't until all the guests in the hall left that only Mr. A and his waiters were left, and Nuoen took Esther to the single sofa. Mr. A made a gesture, and all the waiters withdrew This room left a space for three people to communicate privately.

Mr. A stood up, and the kerosene lamp cast his shadow forward, which made Esther subconsciously take half a step back, avoiding the shadow in front of Mr. A.

She was very glad that she did this, because Mr. A's shadow gradually turned red, like a thin layer of flesh and blood protruding from his shadow.But under Esther's guarded eyes, this abnormality slowly subsided, and the pulsating piece of flesh rolled back to Mr. A's body along the bottom of Mr. A's robe, as if nothing had happened.

The scent of blood wafting in the air allowed Esther to confirm the real scene just now, and had a more intuitive concept of the extreme danger of Mr. A.

Without confirming the opponent's sequence, intelligence, and extraordinary ability, she took two steps back to distance herself, raised her hands slightly, and was ready to steal the opponent's consciousness to gain time to escape.

"I'm not hostile, I'm sorry to disturb you," Mr. A even took two steps back, his unisex neutral voice sounded a little nervous, "I'm just a little excited. This is really rare! The Lord is so looking forward to your news that he is even willing to forgive my ridiculous mistakes..."

The eyes under Norn's mask turned bright red with frenzy, which gradually coincided with the madness that Esther glimpsed through the crack of the door of [-] that night. He retreated to the side, looked at Mr. A respectfully, and looked at it with anticipation Esther.

"Mr. A? You seem to be a very powerful Extraordinary. I need to consider my personal safety." As Esther said so, she gradually retreated to the door. Mr. A did not follow or stop her. "If you need anything, please speak up."

Mr. A raised his right hand and stroked his chest respectfully four times, outlining an upside-down, up-right, left-left cross. Nuo En also lowered his head at the same time, following him to make this gesture.

Mr. A took off his hood, revealing the face that had been hidden in the shadows. His face was so indistinguishable from gender, as if under the preference of the creator, it was gathered into the most skillful sculpture. At the same time, it mixed the beauty of men and women, but he smiled But it was full of strangeness at the time: "From the time I saw you, the voice of the Lord became more peaceful and gentle than ever. It was His call full of mercy. You should follow me to see Him."

With her back against the door she and Norn had come in, Esther reached for the handle and turned it tentatively and silently, only to find that the door wasn't locked.

"The Lord is suffering and full of anger, and there is nothing we can do. But you can definitely help Him, Luna! I can feel this, and I hear the Lord's response from your singing!" Norn spoke, his Voice trembled with excitement.

Esther wanted to give him a kick.

She was still too gullible, blinded by the superficial beauty, and subconsciously ignored Norn's abnormality, and ended up in this difficult situation.

Mr. A stroked his chest and saluted: "You don't need to be afraid, just follow me to the prayer room, and when I seek the oracle from the Lord, you only need to call the name of my Lord. Zoya, are you willing?"

"Of course I know what it means to chant the real name of an evil god, I don't want to—uh!"

Esther's head throbbed uncontrollably for a moment, causing her to bite her tongue while speaking, and swallowed back the answer in pain.

Her spiritual intuition was humming.

The voice in the back of her head almost overwhelmed Esther's rationality, forcing her to say the word "willing".
