Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

"Wait, Hugh! I mean no harm!"

Esther chased after him all the way. Using the light spot hidden on Xio's body before, she tried her best to sense the direction in which Xio was escaping, and then chased after her and called her.

As a result, Xio ran faster. As a "sheriff" who was extremely familiar with his own jurisdiction, Esther's constant detours quickly made it difficult for Esther to track her. Even if she could keep up with her speed, she would not be able to pull him away. The distance between Jin and Xio.

Although she could still sense that the light spot was nearby, Esther couldn't see Xio and had no choice but to continue trying to communicate with the other party:

"I have a commission to find you, it's true! I am willing to swear to the respected goddess of the night, I definitely don't mean to hurt you!"

This is a bit shameless to say. Esther has never truly believed in anything.

But Esther didn't care so much. After all, in this world where true gods exist, swearing in the name of gods is an extremely serious matter, but violating it is blasphemy. Not many people can bear the serious accusation of "blasphemy".

Cultists dare not do this, as there is no guarantee that God's wrath will fall on them. It doesn't matter if pan-believers just praise God, but if they have to swear an oath in front of God and violate it, then the end they will face will not be good. Where to go.

Her words were indeed effective. Xio, who was holding a three-pointed thorn, walked around from behind a trash can and stared at Esther alertly: "What on earth were you doing in the tavern just now?"

"As you can see, I'm just playing."

Esther said helplessly and moved her ankle. She was not used to such a fierce chase, and she had not found a chance to use the "Dream Stealer" ability on Xio, let alone if he really used his extraordinary ability. It would only arouse Xio's hostility.

Of course Xio would not believe this: "But in the scene just now, everyone seemed to be seduced by some magic. Is that a normal performance? I have never seen them so quiet."

Esther sighed: "I don't want to either, but that's just my personal peculiarity. You can think that my extraordinary power is not stable, and I will have this kind of symptom like spiritual power divergence."

Xio took two more steps back out of the alley: "But I'm not affected in any way now."

"Once I sing or play, I will have that kind of resonance with people and things. If you are worried, how about we keep this distance and talk?"

"Okay, what do you want from me?"

"I would like to ask you to help me collect Emperor Russell's notes. Any note will do. The base price for each note is twelve gold pounds. Do you think it's okay?"

Hubby checked the price in her memory. She had seen Audrey buy Russell's notes at Mr. A's rally. The price of one piece was ten gold pounds, and the reward proposed by "Hamel" was even more. Higher.

Xio was really short of money now, so she thought she could borrow it from Miss Audrey and copy those notes to "Hamel".

Seeing Xio's interested expression, Esther smiled, slowly took out two five-pound banknotes from her arms, shook them at Xio, and then slowly placed them on the ground.

"Just use these as a deposit, okay? At least I don't want to conflict with you, Miss Xio. I don't know who to turn to before I think of you."

Esther blinked innocently and stepped back: "Good night then, I wish you a pleasant night. I will go to that pub again on Sunday night, and we will talk then."

A point of light broke away from the back of Xio's head, flew leisurely into the darkness, and landed among the feathers of a crow on the eaves.

Then Esther decisively turned around and left. The black shadow flapped its wings and flew down from the sky, landing on Esther's shoulder.

Hugh saw Hamel's pet crow showing a clear mocking expression again, which made her very uncomfortable.

It wasn't until a few minutes after "Hamel" left that Xio could move her stiff legs and feet again. She still leaned over and picked up the banknotes on the ground, and decided to go back to the tavern to buy something later and spend it directly to exchange for loose money. Money, so that she can feel at ease.

Although Xio wanted to leave it alone, it was a gold pound, which was too tempting for a person who was in debt.

"Hamel's" behavior cannot be said to be dishonest. Xiu could hear her sincerity and was "willing" to believe her. However, out of caution, Xio still picked up a scrap of oil paper from the side, wrapped it around the two banknotes, and hurriedly grabbed them and left.

The vision caused by "Hamel" in the tavern made Xio shiver in the back every time he thought about it.

Esther was also quite helpless. She didn't expect Xio's reaction to be so violent, but fortunately, the allure of the "scammer's" language and her own sincerity made Xio lower his guard a little.

The life of a wild Beyonder seemed to be more difficult than she imagined. Esther flicked her fingers, thankful that she still had the ability to steal people's thoughts.

Because Xio showed up directly, she didn't use the "obsessive-compulsive disorder tie" again.

This was originally Esther's last resort for this chase, but luckily she didn't use it, otherwise she would have completely estranged herself from the bounty hunter.

——

No. 15, Minsk Street, a very peaceful night.

After attending the funeral of equestrian coach Talim Dumont, Klein went to the East District to meet with the elder Kohler and investigated the cheap hotel where the wanted "Azik Eggers" had stayed.

After the day ended, Klein also felt a little tired and got into bed early.

However, his dream was once again disturbed by external forces. The magic mirror named "Arrodes" in the "Heart of Machinery" showed the scene of people exploring the White Cliff Town mausoleum, and the whole process was shown to Klein for viewing.

Although Klein only speculated that Arrods acted like this because he noticed the aura of gray mist on his body, such a twenty-five-year-old sealed object still made him feel quite subtle.

Klein admired the "Mechanical Heart"'s land-washing exploration, which was no different from burning money, and his heart gradually became numb when converting gold pounds. Although I admire this life-saving and labor-saving fighting method, most people really can't learn it.

Walking through the outer chambers of the mausoleum, I didn't see any murals, which was very strange for a big noble. In these spacious underground tombs, nobles often like to use murals to record their great achievements and tell their lives. There are often many more murals than texts from ancient times.

But in the end, after the "Mechanical Heart" cracked the many traps left by the owner of the tomb and opened the coffin in the main tomb chamber, there was only a layer of soft cushions embroidered with twelve rings of the Worm of Time.

The walls have weathered due to the passage of time, and mottled marks have blocked most of the murals in the main tomb room. However, there is a relatively complete mural with the largest area. It is located at the top of the wall and extends to the dome, as if looking down at everyone behind the historical curtain. s eyes.

The peak ridge is like the glorious cross of the ladder to heaven, and the majestic god is surrounded by various cheerful angels.

At the foot of the mountain, two twelve-winged angels were humble and respectful. Each held a baby in their hands. The one on the left had curly hair and black eyes, and the one on the right had blond hair and golden eyes.

At the bottom of the mountains, there are various extraordinary races that are bound or imprisoned, such as dragons or giants. They huddle in the dark corners of the murals and are not favored by the glory of the gods.

What makes Klein most uneasy is the skylarks in the painting. They are not conspicuous, just hovering at the edges and gaps of the scene in the mural, or a wing protruding from behind the wings of an angel.

There are only three skylarks with complete figures, and they are all surrounding the god at the top: one is holding the ring of thorns in the left hand, one is holding the olive branch in the right hand, and the other is holding the wreath in its mouth, but it is just flying. Beside it, there is no one wearing it for the gods.

This is completely consistent with the fairy-tale story described by "The Sun" at that time.

Archbishop Horamik, who looked up at the mural, watched the two children spit out two names, "Amon" and "Adam."

Klein quickly remembered the "Lord who created everything, the omniscient and omnipotent God" mentioned by "The Sun". If Amon was indeed the "Son of God", it was possible that he had inherited the ability in the time domain, but what about "Adam"? Is He still alive?

Why does this god believed in by Silver City use the cross as a symbol like the true Creator? Is there any connection between them?

And Skylark...

Is that the true form of "Zoya"? No, it should just be the appearance of His incarnation. Judging from this composition, "Zoya" appeared in this god earlier than the birth of the "Son of God", but why did He leave no traces of any historical materials and legends at all? ?

The possibility of being covered up is very high.

On the surface, Klein was calm and there was nothing strange about him, because Arrods was still here.

Until Horamik destroyed the entrance to the "abyss", the exploration of the "Heart of Machinery" ended here.

An illusory silver mirror with simple patterns emerged from mid-air. The black gemstones on both sides shone faintly. Soon, white text appeared on the mirror: "Dear Master, may I ask if you are interested in the secret hidden in the long river of time?" Are you confused about the light outside?"

Klein was very surprised and said, "Yes. Is he dangerous?"

A large number of words were spit out quickly on the mirror, as if it could not wait to show them to Klein:

"He is the remains of the light from an older era. He came to the world in the second era and scattered across the earth in the body of a skylark.

"He is a dangerous chaos to any existence, but he is extremely precious because of his own abilities. Even though he will obey the orders of the existence that controls his body, he has no loyalty at all. This is due to his own inseparability. control.

He will never harm you, but he is destined to betray you and is the most untrustworthy servant! "

servant? Does this magic mirror imply that I have control over that light? Why does it react so violently...

Klein did not ask in detail, nor did he show any shock. Instead, he nodded pretending to be indifferent: "I understand. You can leave first."

Arrods left here, leaving behind a sentence: "Yes, a great existence above the spiritual world."

This allowed Klein to catch another clue, so it was indeed because it sensed the gray fog that it came to look for him and provide the information in the dream.

All scenes were completely shattered, and Arrodes' power broke away from Klein's dream.

It only left Klein with more headaches and mysteries.

Why does this magic mirror say "Destined to betray you"?
