Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Esther's new residence in the Bridge District was quickly confirmed. She didn't have many things, and she only had one more suitcase than when she went to the East District. In addition to the gold pounds that were thrown to Klein for him to help look after, Esther also kept about a hundred gold pounds in cash in her hands, mainly in denominations of one gold pound and five gold pounds, reserved for daily expenses. .

During the day, she was still in several areas with relaxed economy and dense crowds, looking for cafes to do business of playing music and attracting customers. She did not slack off just because she obtained this fund. She also had to make plans for the future.

"Where did you get so much money?" Xiao Wu, who had been sleeping frequently for too long recently, finally woke up. He was quite surprised by Esther's sudden wealth. "You finally came to your senses and decided to play the role of 'thief'?"

"No, I only made that order -" Esther swallowed the puffs on her hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, "Then I went to a better life, hehe."

Xiao Wu turned around suspiciously, without making much comment, and instead asked, "Isn't that guy back yet?"

"It's true that there has been no news from Xiao Qi..." Esther did not directly express her worries, for fear that she might accidentally tell Xiao Qi something unexpected.

"No, at most it's just a loss of freedom." Xiao Wu replied lazily, as if he didn't care at all.

Esther hesitated for a few seconds. She really didn't have many people to discuss with, so she had to ask Xiao Wu, who seemed to have a long family history: "So, do you know the history of the Second and Third Ages?"

"It depends on what you want to ask. How do I know if I can answer it if you don't ask?"

"There was an ancient god who met a skylark who gave him a ring." Esther almost omitted the entire story and only picked the most boring summary. "Do you know anything about this?"

Xiao Wu thought for a long time, and it wasn't until Esther finished eating the last two remaining cream puffs that he slowly shook his head: "I don't know exactly, because I 'can't know'."

"Can't you know?"

"You can regard it as the secret of the 'Amon Family', and I can only be regarded as a member of the middle class. The head of the family is also a 'stealer', and he stole the relevant ideas of most of the family members."

Esther frowned: "Is he still alive now?"

"Of course, after reaching the level of a saint, lifespan can no longer be measured in human time. The 'Tail-Eater' Urolius in your dream is a ready-made example. He has survived from the Second Age to the present."

However, what Xiaowu didn't say was that Esther himself was probably the same example. He had no evidence and could only guess.

"It turns out that his name is Uroleus..." Esther silently wrote down the name, "But why did your family head secretly have ideas related to this skylark? No wonder when you and Xiaoqi discussed it before, the two of you I would be in a daze from time to time."

"He's just an insidious and annoying guy who even deceives his own family members." Xiao Wu seemed to be quite dissatisfied. "A more understandable way of saying it for you is that he set some kind of collective rules that led us to Awareness of that topic will continue to be stolen.”

"Stealing the ideas of most of your members? It's indeed very 'stealing' style."

Xiao Wu lowered his head: "So I can't help you at all on this matter, and Xiao Qi can only help you very much."

Although she didn't know the "head of the family" well, Esther already disliked him a little: "What's the point of him stealing this skylark? He didn't leave any clues. It's really annoying."

"Maybe it's because Yunque offended him so severely that he holds a grudge."

Esther was silent for a few seconds before saying: "No need, this suddenly gives me a potential enemy... Although I am not a skylark, can I not avoid him if I want to pursue this matter?"

"I don't know, like I told you, I can't know."

Xiao Wu shook his head, rolled up into a small ball again, and fell into a deep sleep state again ignoring Esther.

Esther rubbed her right eyebrow, feeling that things were getting more and more troublesome.

After thinking for a while, she had no idea where to start the search, so she could only plan to go to the library to look through those antique historical stories.

There is no official news about the Fifth Era, so it is very likely that this family will make its fortune in the Fourth Era, or even earlier?

If you really can't find any clues, you have to trouble the fellow villagers again.

——

On Monday evening, Esther set foot on Minsk Street again with apple pie, almond biscuits and sweet ice tea, and knocked on the door of No. 15.

The wife of No. 17 was preparing to go out, accompanied by her maid, and was waiting for the hired carriage by the roadside. Esther saw her looking over and nodded with a friendly smile. Because she was holding something in her hand, she could only barely curtsy.

The lady wearing a gem necklace looked at Esther with a little surprise, and then smiled warmly back, even looking a little excited.

Soon Klein opened the door and welcomed Esther into the house who came to visit.

Esther smiled and asked: "How's it going? I didn't bother you, did I?"

"Of course not. You brought so many things again? That's too polite."

“Food tastes better when it’s shared.”

Klein took what Esther was holding, brewed a pot of Xibo black tea, and brought it to the low table in the reception room. He knew that Esther didn't like coffee, and had done so since Tingen, so there was no need to ask.

"There is no news about the Extraordinary gathering yet. I haven't found the time to acquire the weapons you want."

Only then did Esther remember this:

"Then give priority to daggers or daggers, because my extraordinary sequence has the bonus of hand control ability. Weapons that are too big are not convenient to carry. As for guns, it depends on the situation. I don't know if there are extraordinary weapons that do not require bullets."

Klein nodded: "I understand. But you came here today for other things, right?"

Esther felt a little uneasy after entering the door. Seeing her staring at the teacup in a daze, Klein came to this conclusion.

"Yes, because your circle of Extraordinaries is much wider than mine. I'm curious if you have heard anything about a certain family."

"A very old family?"

"It's not the Fifth Age, it should be a family from the Fourth Age. I went to the public library to look for it, and there was almost no information left. You also know that there are very few official records of the history of the Fourth Age."

Klein didn't mind sharing with Esther the information he heard from Emperor Russell's diary and Tarot meetings: "I can check it for you, maybe I've heard it too."

"I trust the knowledge of history college students, so I came here to see you," Esther smiled and looked at Klein, "I heard that the family's surname is 'Amon'."

The hair on the back of Klein's neck suddenly stood up. The experience of exorcising evil spirits for "The Sun" and almost causing the gray mist to be invaded left a big shadow on him.

He struggled to maintain his apparent calmness and nodded slightly: "This seems to be indeed a family from the Fourth Age. I heard some related rumors at a secret gathering of extraordinary people."

"I'm a little curious about what's going on with that family, and what's going on with the family members and the 'head of the family'."

Klein did not immediately tell what he knew. Hearing the name "Amon" come out of Esther's mouth casually sent a strong chill down his back: "I can help you find out, but I can't How much harvest is guaranteed.”

Seeing that Klein had agreed, Esther breathed a sigh of relief and reminded him by the way:

"If you really meet a member of that family, you must be careful. Their head is also a 'saint'. If he can live to the fifth era, he has already surpassed the category of human beings."

Seeing that Klein was silent, Esther added: "Even if their family members have been away from society for a long time, they have left no trace at all. This is too abnormal."

"It's really weird."

"I'm worried that 'Zoya' will have a conflict with him and I will be targeted, so I can put the investigation on this name aside. If your divination is dangerous, you can also give up the investigation on the Amon family. I I don’t want to cause any trouble to you.”

Klein nodded silently and turned a copper penny between his fingers, but never threw it up.
