Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Not long after Esther prayed, she took out her previous notebook and wrote down the abilities displayed by the human-skin shadow during the battle, reviewing what happened at that time and the actions she took.

This was a habit she developed after being tricked by Galwin. She listed all the extraordinary people she had met, including her former teammates in Tingen. The content of the notes is still mainly about summarizing the abilities and corresponding countermeasures of each path. When Esther evaluates others, she also uses this to explore the application of the "Stealer" path ability, and prepares response methods in advance so as not to be in trouble when an accident occurs. Sometimes I am at a loss.

However, she didn’t know much about the Tarot Society, otherwise Esther would be able to deduce the range of abilities of their corresponding paths. The abilities of “The Fool” were also unclear, and there was insufficient information.

She has a certain idea of ​​Klein's ability to be promoted to "Joker", but the "Magician" of Sequence Seven is quite unfamiliar to Esther. Unfortunately, the battles between extraordinary people are basically about life and death, and there is no such thing as competition. Moderate concept.

The fourth sequence of "stealers" is the "parasite". If parasitizing others can be counted as stealing, then there are too many things that can be stolen... This ability can be extended to a wide range of areas, that is "Trojan horse of destiny"?

Find a time to ask Xiaowu what his higher order is and what his specific abilities are. You have to consider the corresponding preparations.

Since the head of the family is also at the high level of this path, he should be prepared with both hands. He cannot be defeated in a single encounter. He must at least think about the possibility of escaping.

Esther crossed her legs and fell lazily on the wicker chair, hoping that this day would never come. She flexed the fingers of her left hand, imagining how the stolen items would be expanded into many concepts, and sighed.

She deeply felt that her understanding of the extraordinary world was not enough, especially in high-sequence situations. She was basically blind.

Suddenly, a hazy light appeared in front of Esther's eyes, like a layer of gauze hanging down, covering her sight. Before Esther could react, voices came from the light, forming a blur. Picture of men kneeling to pray:

"Dear Mr. Fool, please tell Miss Lover that the number of gold pounds I can currently prepare is limited. I will further communicate with her at the Tarot meeting next week."

Great, I'm not the only one who is short of money in this world, Esther thought.

——

Monday came quickly. Esther has picked up her livelihood as a street performer again in the past few days. Although the money is not much, it is better than making no money at all. If she wants to buy the related characteristics of the Sequence 4 "Parasite", she doesn't know yet. How long will it take to save?

If only there were safer tombs to explore elsewhere. Esther couldn't help but come up with this idea. Although it was risky, it was faster than such a long accumulation.

The hard currency in the extraordinary world is still a variety of extraordinary properties and materials, especially when the other party has corresponding needs.

Under the familiar soft light and the grand hall, Esther sat at the corner of the long bronze table again. She never understood why the "world" and her seat were so far away from others, and it seemed as if she was very lonely.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"

Every Tarot session would start with a brisk greeting from "Justice". After these two Tarot sessions, Esther had a very high impression of this young noble lady. While observing other people, "Justice" can always express her care and thoughtfulness appropriately, and she will always enthusiastically answer questions she knows. It's hard not to like her.

Well, a bit like a study committee member.

After everyone had said hello, this time only Miss Magician sent a piece of Russell's diary to the Fool, and no one else gained anything. This greatly shortened the time it took to enter the trading session of today's Tarot Club.

As expected, Mr. World raised his hand first: "Mr. Fool, I apply for a private communication with Miss Lover."

"The Fool" nodded slightly, and without seeing much movement from him, he opened his palms and gestured to the two of them: "You can start."

"The World" immediately turned its head, and the sense of death always reminded Esther of his gray eyes: "Miss Lover, do you need the extraordinary characteristics of the Werewolf?"

Esther suppressed the question "Is it delicious?" and asked, "Which way is this?"

"It is the 'prisoner' path, also known as the 'alien'. This is the complete extraordinary characteristic of sequence eight. You only need to add auxiliary materials to prepare potions, or it can be used to create extraordinary weapons." Because he was afraid of Esther. She had no idea about these, so "The World" had to explain a few more sentences contrary to her personality, hoping to impress her.

"Create an extraordinary weapon... What is the complete price of the human-skinned shadow?"

"Two thousand pounds, the 'Werewolf' is about twelve hundred pounds."

Esther weighed it for a moment and quickly made up her mind: "Didn't you say before that the amount of money you can prepare is limited? Then just make up the amount of 600 pounds. You can use this extraordinary characteristic to offset part of it."

Klein was happy in his heart, but on the surface "The World" just nodded indifferently and said hoarsely: "Okay."

"Then we wait until the meeting is over to make the deal?"

"Okay. Also, where does this human-skin shadow come from?"

Esther thought for two seconds and felt that it didn't matter if she said it. It was the mausoleum of the "Amon" family, and it was not hers: "It is a mausoleum outside Baiya Town, belonging to the 'Stealer' family of the Fourth Age. "

"tomb?"

"Yes, the mausoleum of the 'Amon' family," Esther quickly added when she saw that the chill emanating from "The World" was getting stronger, "But there seems to be a huge danger lurking deep in the mausoleum. I personally have better luck. , I encountered this monster in the outer tomb. But I don’t recommend anyone to explore there. An exploration team disappeared inside before me.”

"Thanks for informing."

"The World" said softly, and then turned to "The Fool": "We have finished communicating, Mr. Fool."

Klein did not ask how Esther knew the location of the mausoleum. If the fellow villager really got involved with Amon, the "blasphemer" who coveted the gray mist, then agreeing to her entry into the Tarot Society would completely lead the wolf into the house! Klein couldn't even detect the strange situation on Esther in the stars like others. The light would not reveal the specific condition of the person praying.

Mr. "Fool" felt troubled, and the joy of being able to acquire the shadow properties of human skin faded away because of this.

He decided to remain calm for now, wait until the end of today's Tarot meeting, and then stay alone to talk to Esther as "The Fool".

The "Magician" wanted to buy the soul eater's stomach bag, but the little "Sun" told her apologetically that since he had been accumulating meritorious deeds in the city and searching for information in the library recently, he had not found an opportunity to go out hunting, so he might still Have to wait a while longer. The "Magician" also said that she is not in a hurry, and it will take a lot of time to raise funds, but she is just putting forward such a commission first.

The "World" continued to purchase the mutated pituitary gland and blood from the Thousand-Faced Hunter's brain, which made "The Hanged Man" and "Justice" take a second look at the "Lovers" next to them. Especially for "The Hanged Man", he speculated whether there were other powerful forces involved behind "The Lover", or what her sequence and abilities were.

Although "Lover" is not covered in black robes like "The World", her mysteriousness is no less than that of "The World".

Of course, Esther didn't know what others were thinking. After seeing that no one wanted to raise their hands, she quickly raised her arms and put forward her commission: "First of all, I want to find a craftsman who can create extraordinary weapons. I don’t know if there is anyone in your circle who can do this.”

To Esther's surprise, "The Hanged Man" raised his hand: "When the matter at hand is over, I can try to contact a craftsman I know, but his cost is quite expensive, you have to do a good job Be mentally prepared.”

"It doesn't matter. I will provide the extraordinary characteristics. If you decide then..." Esther subconsciously glanced at the "world" next to her.

"The World" actually spoke understandingly: "I will directly hand over the extraordinary characteristics to the Hanged Man."

I can't tell, but it turns out that "The World" is such a understanding person, so considerate. Esther couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"So what do you want to build? Or a close-quarters weapon?"

Esther nodded and asked the "Fool" sitting at the top: "Can you please allow me to concretize a simple drawing and give it to Mr. 'The Hanged Man'?"

This is also the process that Esther observed others submitting Russell's diary after these several tarot meetings.

As soon as "The Fool" raised his hand, there was a piece of paper in front of Esther. After concentrating a little, she drew two circles with her fingers, and then pushed forward the simple diagram with the "claw knife". Under his will, the drawing appeared in front of "The Hanged Man" in the next second. He took it and observed it for a moment, then nodded to Esther: "It should be fine, but the negative effects of magical items will be based on the 'extraordinary characteristics', and there is no guarantee that the finished product will have any effect."

"It doesn't matter, I have my own solution to this problem." Esther replied.

It seems that "lovers" are not simple either. Is there a magical item that suppresses negative effects? "The Hanged Man" could only guess a few things in his mind. After nodding, he said nothing more.

So Esther raised her hand again: "In fact, I still have a long-term commission here. If you have any clues about the 'Amon' family, especially about the head of the family, you can tell me. I can pay the corresponding intelligence fee."

The silence on the long bronze table was quite strange. Esther thought that the information she gave was too sparse, so she could only continue: "This 'family' that made its fortune in the Fourth Age probably has a person from an older era. Head of the family, I don’t force you to search for too much relevant information, because it will be very dangerous, I just hope to investigate his identity and background.”

Everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to "The Fool", but "The World" lowered its head and remained motionless.
