Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

"That man is also an extraordinary person."

"Oh? How can you be so sure?" Esther twisted a little bit of the black bread in her arms and handed it to Xiao Qi's mouth, which was full of disgust.

Xiaoqi finally lost in this short stalemate, because it didn't want to see Esther walk all the way with her hands raised, so it could only accept this boring feeding behavior.

After swallowing the crumbs, Xiao Qi spoke again: "I don't know if Xiao Wu has taught you about the characteristics of each sequence. But considering that there are many potential threats around you, I should at least let you understand some concepts."

"Ms. Xio's majestic temperament does come from her extraordinary path?"

"Yes, it's the same path as your tie. It's generally called 'arbitrator', and more specifically it's called 'judge'."

"That's it."

Esther was walking on the street holding two bags of black bread. She deliberately passed by the East End Night Church and took a look from a distance. Although there were several believers talking to the pastor, she saw no familiar figure.

No, there are still familiar figures.

The moment Esther saw those bright emerald eyes, she quickened her pace, lowered her hood, and hurried towards the end of the street.

The black-haired young man turned his head to this side in confusion, only to see a suspicious figure with a crow on his shoulder disappearing around the corner. He raised his right hand wearing a red glove and inadvertently covered his mouth: "Old man, what did you find? Already?"

"It's nothing... nothing you need to remember."

The old voice in his head muttered. The appearance of the crow gave him a very bad premonition, and it was best not to come into contact with that strange little girl again.

As for the black-haired young man, she has long forgotten who she is.

——

"Hamel" played "Little Star" at the intersection of Black Palm Street. The attracted children quickly rushed over, waiting to exchange the gossip they heard from everywhere for the "harmonica" Elf's hand holds the black bread that can satisfy his stomach.

Xiao Qi stood on a high fence, just able to look down and see the street clearly.

This name was given to Rabbit. He was not as reserved as other children when facing "Ms. Hamel". Especially after hearing that the Caping Mansion was attacked and Penny really appeared at the Goddess Church in the East District, Rabbit was full of admiration for "Hamel" and would actively squeeze to the front every time he saw her, even if he left He was also the last to leave.

After Esther listened to the words of these children, she learned that there were still people looking for followers of "The Fool", but no clues were obtained. It seemed that no members of the Tarot Society were exposed, which reassured Esther. Someone is calling for workers to go on strike in an organized way, but the children don't understand this well, and Esther doesn't expect them to be able to collect more targeted information.

After most of the children finished chatting, they soon began to disperse. Rabbit stayed at the end as usual, standing on tiptoes from time to time because of anxiety. Under the slightly reproachful eyes of the leader, he stayed stubbornly. .

As soon as the surroundings calmed down, the rabbit jumped up to Esther and looked at her with burning eyes: "Hamel Hamel, someone recently posted a very high reward. Do you want to try it?"

Esther answered him somewhat amusingly: "Since it is a high reward, it means that the other party must be difficult to deal with. I don't dare to provoke him."

Rabbit looked around nervously and lowered his voice and said excitedly: "But you are obviously very powerful! Or you can ask the 'Black Emperor' for help!"

"Okay, don't think so wildly. I don't know the 'Black Emperor of Thieves' at all, but who is the person with the bounty on his head?"

"Hehe! I knew you would be interested!" Rabbit puffed up his chest proudly, "Many gangs are looking for this man named 'Azik Eggers'. People with Bailang blood are still in Backlund. It’s quite conspicuous, and I don’t know which big shot he offended.”

Esther always felt that this name sounded familiar, but she didn't think of it for a while.

Seeing that "Hamel" didn't respond, Rabbit continued: "I heard that he is still a university lecturer. He should be a person who knows a lot of things. That's what..."

"You want to say 'erudite'?" Esther grabbed a handful of peanuts from her pocket, mixed a few pennies into it, and motioned to the rabbit to reach out and catch it, "Thank you for the information, but I didn't go for the bounty. The hunter’s plan. Safety comes first at all times, do you understand?”

The rabbit put the peanuts in his arms, took out all the pennies, and wanted to hand them back to "Hamel" with a red face: "I can't accept them! I've already eaten your bread!"

"This is extra intelligence fee, okay?"

Upon hearing this, the rabbit quickly stuffed a few pennies into the inside of his socks, moving quickly, fearing that "Hamel" would regret it.

Esther chuckled lightly, not caring about the oil stains on the rabbit's hair. She patted the boy's head and left the street leisurely.

Before she was completely out of Rabbit's sight, Xiao Qi suddenly flew down from above and patted Esther's ear hard: "Come on, your acquaintance is here."

Xiao Qi didn't know Klein. Judging from the tone of his voice, this "acquaintance" must have a big problem.

Not more than two minutes after Esther stepped out of Black Palm Street, another man wearing a soft-top gentleman's hat walked over. He was wearing a slim-cut gray-blue long trench coat and a gold-trimmed shirt. Tie, hands in his pockets, a pair of large sunglasses covering his eyes, blocking most of his face.

He looked around the street briefly and then turned his attention to the alley next to him.

A boy in ragged clothes, with a stained face and only the cleanest hands on his body was squatting there, happily smacking a handful of peanuts as if they were some kind of delicacy.

The man took his hand out of the pocket of his long trench coat, and a five-penny copper coin jumped out from his fingers, rolled all the way, and hit the edge of the boy's torn open shoe, clearly reflecting the greed in the boy's eyes.

The boy, who was no more than ten years old, quickly reached out and stuffed the penny into his trouser pocket. He pretended not to see the man walking slowly and continued to chew on the peanuts.

"Little mouse, did you see a coin that fell around here?"

"No, sir." The boy said calmly, "I have been eating."

The man bared his white teeth and smiled, but this smile made the boy feel very uncomfortable: "Then did you see a young woman passing by here? She has light blond hair and is not very tall."

There was a slight pause in the boy's action of peeling peanut shells, but he shook his head nonchalantly: "You seem to be a wealthy gentleman. The person you are looking for should not appear in the East District. I suggest you go to the Jowood District or St. George's. I'm not a pimp either, sir."

The boy raised his head innocently, with messy brown bangs hanging in front of his eyes, revealing shrewd eyes full of scrutiny below.

"Not only do you know her, you are familiar with her. So familiar that you are willing to offend a strange 'rich gentleman' and take such a risk that is not conducive to your survival on the streets to mislead others about her whereabouts."

The man's airy affirmation caused the boy's hand movements to freeze, and the peanut he was about to stuff into his mouth fell to the ground.

"Then, where did she go?" the man asked with a smile.

But the boy only felt horrified. All his thoughts were directly exposed. This weird development made his whole body shiver.

It was as if the other party could see through his heart! He has to run quickly! You can't put the "Harmonica Elf" in danger because of you!

The boy jumped up from the ground and rushed into the alley next to him. Regardless of the possibility of wounds on his body, he squeezed through a row of loose barbed wire. The boy squeezed into the winding path he was most familiar with and ran far away along the winding shadows on the back of the building, trying to get rid of this terrifying man through his familiarity with the terrain.

The man wearing sunglasses made no move to catch up. He stood there and shook his head, then leaned down and picked up the peanut that fell from the boy's mouth.

This is enough.

Second update.
