Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Esther waited until most of the people were ashore, then hung at the rear of the passengers and slowly stepped onto the solid ground that no longer shook.

In the end, Old Jack just told her to be careful. Esther was very grateful to the chef. After some hesitation, she could only take out the banknotes, but Old Jack refused to accept the five soles and let her keep it for herself.

David happily said "goodbye" to Esther and rushed back to help his friends unload the goods. Captain Reeves did not show up. He had more business to deal with, and he would have to report the troubles encountered during the voyage to the Church of Storms.

Of course, Reeves would not hide the matter about the suspicious silver-haired lady. He did not have the overflowing kindness like Old Jack. If it were not for worrying about her hidden strength, Reeves might have sent her directly to the local Church of the Storm.

As the largest port in the Loen Kingdom, Pulitzer Harbor is always busy with ships of all sizes, and the docks are bustling with people. It's hardly the off-season now, and an endless stream of tourists choose to go out to sea to get away from the shivering winter inland for a short time.

Even many tourists who are enjoying the New Year holiday have not yet returned from their voyages and are enjoying life on the vast sea.

When there were more people, Esther's perception became quite noisy.

Although she could still distinguish and avoid various obstacles, she would bump into someone from time to time, forcing her to apologize all the way before reaching the door of a hotel that looked like ordinary conditions.

Since she didn't know the road and had never been exposed to the map of Port Pulitzer, Esther was in a state of confusion. Only after asking if the accommodation required proof of identity, Esther pointed out Sansule under the constant gaze of the front desk clerk. , said we would stay one night first.

Esther sensed the unknown malicious intent of the front desk clerk, so when she took the key and walked to the stairs, she opened her palm to him from behind and then closed it, stealing his thoughts.

Esther sighed in her heart. Traveling alone and having poor eyesight made her look quite easy to bully.

Fortunately, the waiter had not forgotten his job and told her that the room was in the third room on the left on the second floor. Esther locked the door as soon as she walked into the room. She dragged the chair and locked the push-down door handle to prevent any People break in.

The window was open, and Esther approached the window and looked out. Of course, she couldn't see any distant scene now. All she could perceive was colorful and twisted patches of color.

Just in case, Esther also closed the window and fumbled for the curtains to close them. There were too many people coming and going in Pulitzer Harbor, and it was really inconvenient for her to continue moving.

This time she chose to believe "Zoya"'s instructions and stayed quietly in the hotel to relax, waiting for the afternoon Tarot session.

——

Klein carried his suitcase and walked on the streets of Pulitzer Harbor. He found a hotel at random, and after writing a letter to Mr. Azik, he came above the gray fog.

After releasing the soul of the "faceless man" in "Creeping Hunger", Klein summoned the ball of light into his hand. Compared with the dimness of the previous few days, its brightness had become calmer and no longer needed to be restrained. Ryan pulled the gray mist to use as glue.

Whenever Klein has time in the past few days, he will habitually put some mist on it. Fortunately, the light ball can be completely restored before the Tarot meeting, and the appearance no longer shows the previous abnormality.

The citrine pendulum hung in his hand, and Klein recited silently:

"'Lovers' can attend this tarot party."

It rotates clockwise and the amplitude is very large. Could it be that the most serious problem on the fellow villagers' side has been solved, so they can spare time?

Klein first conveyed the news of preparations for the party to "The Sun", and then performed another divination:

"Esther is now out of danger."

The rotation given by the pendulum was the same as the previous question, which made Klein sigh in relief.

Unfortunately, I have already left Backlund. Even if Esther goes back to deliver the letter to Miss Sharon, I will not be able to receive it...

However, Klein still had a smile on his lips. Being able to predict her successful escape made him feel much better.

——

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the light curtain covered Esther's consciousness as expected.

As soon as everyone sat down, they saw the ball of light in the hand of "The Fool" flying across the long table and falling directly to Miss "Lover".

The situation of the "lover" also surprised everyone, including Klein, who was sitting in the first place.

After she was pulled into the gray mist, she was originally the most solid person, similar to "The Fool", but now the figure of "Lover" is thin and twisted, and only the translucent silver shadow of the original blond hair is left, swirling. The depressions covered her whole body, and even her face was filled with large hollow-like holes, making the "lover" appear to be in a state of collapse at any time.

"The Fool" raised his hand slightly, and a large amount of gray mist filled the "Lover"'s body. As the faint light spots scattered from the light ball fell into the "Lover's" body, her condition quickly stabilized and gradually returned to her original appearance.

This scene lasted for more than ten seconds. "Justice" covered his mouth in shock and pity. He wanted to ask but did not dare to disturb Mr. "The Fool"'s "treatment process".

Others were equally shocked. The Hanged Man and the Sun both thought at that moment that the Lover was going to lose control in front of Mr. Fool.

The "Magician" felt a sense of panic for no reason. Only she could hear some murmurs coming from the light ball, but because of the gray mist, she had no other feelings. Of course, the "magician" recalled the pain caused to her by the full moon's whispers, and saw the "lover" being baptized by the whispers of the light, and couldn't help but feel more sympathy.

But soon, the "magician" looked in the direction of the "lover" and opened her eyes wide. The light in the light ball was indeed familiar to her. It was exactly the same as the light that penetrated the haze in the East District that morning!

"The World" still looked silent and cold, staring closely at "Lover" like everyone else, seeming to be carefully observing the abnormalities in her body.

As for the most confused person, it is the new member sitting next to "The Sun". He looked at this strange scene and marveled secretly, but compared to the others, this new member didn't quite understand what was happening now, and was just simply curious.

After Esther finally stabilized, she raised her head and "saw" a normal scene for the first time in a long time. Her eyes swept over the long bronze table, the high-back chairs of "The World", the different expressions of other people, and the expression on her forehead. A few strands of her bangs hung down and returned to the familiar color of light cinnamon yellow.

Finally, Esther looked at the "Fool" on the first seat.

After the gray fog dissipated and the dim light ball flew back to the hands of The Fool, Esther immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to The Fool.

Her voice was trembling with joy: "Your kindness and compassion are so great, I cannot thank you enough. I can only repay you with the most pious heart."

Esther sounded like she was about to cry:

"Thank you and praise you, Mr. Fool."

Miss "Justice" saw that her "lover's" condition had really stabilized, and her nervous heart relaxed. After taking a long breath, she happily and briskly followed behind and said: "Praise the great Mr. Fool!"

With her taking the lead, the others also repeated this sentence one after another, and at the same time once again felt the unfathomable power of Mr. Fool. In such a strange and critical situation as the "lover", the "Fool" actually took action to forcefully help her. Stabilize.

"The Hanged Man" took a second look at "The Lover". Perhaps in addition to "The World", "The Lover" also has something special, so he sat at the end of the table instead of sitting at the "Magician" in the order of joining. Next to the lady...

"The Fool" held the light ball in his hand and nodded slightly to everyone, but judging from the smile on his lips, this god was in a pretty good mood.

"Justice" has another thing that is more important to her. She couldn't help but speak to "The Fool" again: "Thank you for your willingness to take action and save Backlund again, Mr. Fool!"

Everyone immediately pricked up their ears, including the "Hanged Man" who was drifting on the sea. He also heard about this incident and was very concerned about it. The most indifferent person should be "Sun", because the distance between him and Backlund can be said to be two worlds, and it is not clear what happened.

After "Justice" solemnly saluted "The Fool", she turned to "The World" at the end of the table. Originally, "Justice" was a little afraid of this gentleman who didn't look like a good person, but this time there was only Sincere gratitude:

"Mr. World, if you hadn't warned us in advance, perhaps there would have been more victims in Backlund during this smog. Thank you very much!"

"The World" chuckled hoarsely twice and said, "In fact, this also saved myself."

"The Fool" responded calmly: "I just provided a little help."

"No, your beloved really saved Backlund!" "Justice" sighed sincerely, "If it weren't for his reminder, the Church of the Goddess of the Night would not have been ready so quickly to eliminate the Witch of Despair in time and stop the 'Original Witch' 's awakening. Not to mention that he also directly destroyed the Aurora Society's rituals and blocked the 'True Creator' who was trying to come from reality. There was also the magical light that appeared in the East District! It saved a large number of residents who were sick and dying, and helped They returned to a feeble state with only a few symptoms remaining. I don't know of any power that could have done this except a miracle."

The first "Fool" had a thought in his mind, smiled and spread his hands to the "Lover": "Your behavior in the East District was very abrupt, and it will not be repeated again. Praying for 'God to descend' will pay a price far beyond imagination."

He still coiled the dim ball of light in his hand, and a faint gray mist gathered on it, turning slowly.

After everyone heard such a secret, it was difficult to suppress their shock. They all turned their heads in the direction of the "lover" at the end of the table, and her strange state at the beginning of the meeting also had a complete explanation——

She actually prayed for "divine descent" in Backlund! The results seem to be really successful!

Esther was shocked, and she looked at the "Fool" in the first place in disbelief.

He slightly raised the ball of light in his hand to give a clear indication.
