Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

After reminiscing about the past, the two people with secrets tacitly avoided the topic of "how to come back from the dead." Even though they were extremely curious about the other person's experience, in order to maintain this hard-won nostalgia, Klein and Ais At the same time, Te chose not to explore this point, and was sincerely relieved that the other party also tacitly agreed not to mention the relevant situation.

It's not appropriate for distance to be beneficial here, but they also chose to respect each other's privacy and keep their own secrets. However, I can talk about the experience in Backlund. The two people's experiences during this period were quite wonderful.

After Klein put down the black tea, he decisively took out materials and built a spiritual wall in the living room, making the conversation as secretive as possible.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of dragging Esther directly into the gray fog, that would be the best place for the exchange meeting with fellow villagers.

"You fell into the espionage activities of Ambassador Intis because you were looking for someone? You are really unlucky." Esther originally thought that the apartment she lived in was messy enough, but she didn't expect that Klein's experience would be even more complicated.

"I think so too... But I later hired a Sequence [-] Beyonder. If she hadn't been there, I might have really fallen into the hands of the Sequence [-] 'Puppet Master' who is a diviner."

"But at that time, what sequence did you have...?"

Klein smiled slightly, not hiding his pride: "At that time, I was still the 'Joker' of Sequence Eight, and now I am the 'Magician' of Sequence Seven."

Esther's eyes lit up instantly, and her expression completely matched the naive colleague in Klein's impression: "Magician! It sounds like you have a lot of abilities, but you didn't apply for a job in the circus."

"There are too many people in the circus. If it is revealed that magic is not real, you will be sent to the church. What about you? Have you found any information about your sequence?"

"Well, I found some. Now I know that I was already the 'decryption scholar' of Sequence Seven when I was in Tingen."

"Decryption scholar? I really didn't see this." Klein said jokingly.

"I suspect that you are saying that my brain is not working well, but I have no evidence," Esther answered angrily, "but the strange thing is that my sequence seems to have nothing to do with my other abilities."

Klein felt a lot more relaxed, finally catching up with his fellow villagers: "So are you still at Sequence Seven now?"

"No...I am now the Sequence Five 'Dream Stealer'."

Silence is tonight's cup of tea.

When Esther saw Klein showing a little disappointment, she waved her hands repeatedly: "I'm in a different situation than you! I didn't get promoted through potions! I don't even need to follow the 'acting' or anything like that. I can do it in a short time." There’s no way to move up the ranks.”

Klein quickly calmed down. He remembered the mysterious palace above the gray fog. He also had a special "golden finger" and there was no need to pry into the secrets of his fellow villagers. She seemed to be feeling uneasy about this.

Afterwards, Klein talked about his revengeful act of destroying the "True Creator"'s conspiracy and successfully killing Lanreus, leaving Esther at a loss for words for a while.

"Thank you..." Esther held the gradually cooling black tea in her hand and took a sip, "Although I know little about these things, it would be great if I found you earlier, so that you don't have to bear so much alone. .”

Klein's eyes also darkened as he recalled the victims of Tingen: "It's not just for you and me, he and Ince Zangwill have implicated too many innocent people, and I will not give up pursuing them. "

"For the sake of those who are still alive, and for the sake of those who have left." Esther said softly, "When the day comes when you face Ince Zanwill, I will definitely stand by your side."

Klein had the urge to laugh and cry at the same time, but it was only for a moment. He had long been used to suppressing such violent and turbulent emotions in his heart. So Klein just smiled slightly on the surface: "What about you? Why did you go to the East District to pretend to be a piper? It's not peaceful there. Is this also related to the ability of the 'Dream Stealer'?"

Esther shook her head: "What I told at the time was the truth. I developed a very rudimentary intelligence system through those children. Although the information was messy, I could deduce clues from anything. This is thanks to the 'decryption scholars' Skills of analyze."

"I see……"

"I was not originally in the East District, but in the South District of Bridge. A priest from the Mother Earth Church recommended an apartment to me. However, I attracted the attention of a member of the Aurora Society, and there was another instigator in the apartment. 'audience', which resulted in me having to abandon my false identity and residence and escape overnight."

"Aurora Society?"

Esther's face wrinkled again, fully expressing her inner depression: "Yes, they seem to want me to pray to the 'True Creator' they believe in..."

"That's a very dangerous thing!" Klein quickly reminded, "The people in the Aurora Society are basically lunatics. They were the ones who assassinated Ambassador Intis!"

Of course, he concealed the identity of the person who hired Mr. A of the Aurora Society to do this, so Klein would not expose his family name.

Esther sighed: "Oh, of course I know that too, so I ran away in a panic. Now I can only earn some tips by playing the harmonica everywhere to attract customers to people's cafes, and I can make a living."

"But the one you are talking about cannot be Father Utravsky, right?"

"That's him! Although he's always too preachy, he's a nice and reliable guy."

Klein couldn't help but think of Emlyn White, the vampire who was working as a priest at Harvest Church - he would definitely protest sternly against Esther's comments.

After Klein shared what he learned about the "Law of Immortality and Conservation of Extraordinary Characteristics," Esther talked about some of the extraordinary phenomena she came into contact with, including the "Harvest Priest"'s control of plants, Mr. A's weird flesh-and-blood shadow, As well as the corresponding ability of the "Judge" sequence, Klein also learned a lot about other ways.

Esther also gave Klein a brief explanation of the changes in her abilities, and the things she stole began to change from entities to concepts. This gave Klein a lot of encouragement and made him determined that the "divineer" path would have the same strange qualitative change in Sequence Five.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Esther hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I want to explore the buried history, mainly the third era, and maybe even related to the second era."

Klein naturally thought of the "Tarot Meeting" held by The Fool, where there happened to be a member from the Land Abandoned by God. The Silver City where the "Sun" is located has preserved many ancient scrolls from that ancient era: "So far away History? Maybe I have channels that can help you ask, what do you want to explore?"

"There is an existence named 'Zoya'. The Aurora Society is also looking for her, but I'm not sure if it's her or it, or maybe even Him? The related images include Skylark, and--" Esther raised her hand above her forehead. Wavering, a dozen light spots emerged from her hair, dancing leisurely around her fingers, "Similar to this light."

"Is it related to your ability, the ability to 'retrace time and space'?" Klein was also much more serious, instinctively sorting out possible clues to this matter in his mind.

"Yes, I am very worried that it is a god from the ancient times or something, and may even live here." Esther nodded her forehead with a wry smile on her face.

Klein was stunned for more than ten seconds without speaking. This matter was more serious than he had just expected: "Then once He fully wakes up -"

"I may be the one who has slept for a thousand years." Esther continued.

Klein nodded solemnly: "I understand, I will help you collect information."

"By the way, do you know where else there is an underground gathering of Extraordinaries? I can no longer go to the one held by the Aurora Society. Mr. A seems to be able to detect something special about me. And their location will be exposed at some point. , I’m afraid some official extraordinary people will come to encircle and suppress us in a while.”

"You need something?"

Esther nodded: "Although I have something on hand, I want to prepare some extraordinary weapons so that I won't be unable to fight back next time I'm in danger."

This did reveal something about Esther's sequence ability. She seemed to lack the means to face the enemy head-on, so she seemed very worried. Klein thought about it. Of course he was willing to provide some help to the fellow villagers. It was safer to let Esther choose more suitable items than to have him purchase them on her behalf.

So in front of Esther, Klein conducted several coin divination and confirmed that this matter would not bring danger to Mr. "Eye of Wisdom". Only then did Klein tell the extraordinary event that would be held at the "Brave Man Bar" Esther was informed about the gathering.

"As for the specific time...you should pay attention to the "Backlund Morning News". If there is an advertisement for Ernst Trading Company's purchase of goods on the fifth page, you can come to me. Then we will make an appointment to be there the next day. When it’s time to meet outside the bar, I can take you in.”

"No problem, I'll bother you then, Mr. Detective."

Klein nodded and made up his mind to use the dummy "The World" to propose a separate transaction with "The Sun" at the Tarot meeting, asking him to inquire about this information in Silver City.

Do you want to invite fellow villagers to attend Tarot sessions? Klein struggled for a long time and couldn't make up his mind, so he decided to put the matter aside for now.

It wasn’t that he was afraid of his fellow villagers reporting him. Klein believed that Esther trusted him more than the True God Church. However, when he thought of pretending to be a mysterious ancient god in front of his fellow villagers, Klein felt uncomfortable.

It's so embarrassing.

It was getting late, so the two said goodbye quickly, and Esther had to take the subway back to her residence in the East District. After Klein sent her away, he returned to the living room and sat by the sofa. He always felt that he had missed something just now.

Did I forget something? It seems... related to something special about Esther.

I should have forgotten her a long time ago, but I still remember her until now.

Klein suddenly broke into a cold sweat behind his back. He stared at the cold teapot on the table without moving for a long time.

Why does he always remember Esther?

Klein could not ask the people in Tingen for confirmation, so he could only go back to the room and walk four steps backward to perform divination above the gray fog.

In the result of dream divination, there is nothing but a soft and endless light.
