Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang
Chapter 153 Matchmaking
After that, the discussion about the vampires continued for a while. When "The Sun" mentioned desecrating the slate, Esther's fingers subconsciously fell on her legs and drew circles because of her thinking.
This was the first time she had heard of such a thing. The potion system was opened with a stone tablet, so who interpreted the information?
Esther felt that she seemed to be close to a certain part of the "reality" of the world, but she did not rush to ask about the "sun". Instead, she suppressed her desire for knowledge because of the uneasiness in her heart.
The discussion about improving the strength of the vampires ended with "The Hanged Man" offering to help in the search. When "Justice" asked for the fruit of the Tree of Elders and the blood of the Mirror Dragon, "Moon" happily quoted the price, and the two reached an agreement. A transaction was made, and "Justice" also informed the new member of the Tarot Society of the transaction method, "Moon".
After "The World" sold the "psychiatrist"'s extraordinary properties to "Justice", it asked "The Hanged Man" to commission a craftsman to help him create an extraordinary item because it was heard that it might have the ability to change one's appearance. Justice” immediately made an appointment with “The Hanged Man” to purchase the finished product of this magical item.
Esther was a little excited at first, but after hearing the price of more than three thousand gold pounds, she regained her composure.
Can't afford it!
"The Moon" promised to help "The Hanged Man" find items that could put a boatload of people into sleep, while "The World" purchased the remaining spirituality of the ancient wraith and the eyes of the six-winged gargoyle.
After "The World", Esther also raised her hand and issued a trading order of her own at the Tarot meeting:
"I want to acquire clues about the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Parasite'."
"Parasite?" "The Hanged Man" looked at "Lover" thoughtfully, "This is the first time I've heard of it. Which way is this?"
Esther didn't think there was anything to hide. After all, everyone's path was on the high-backed chair behind her: "'Stealer', Sequence Four, as long as the information is enough, there is no need to take risks."
However, she did not get any answer, and Esther was mentally prepared for this. Extraordinary people who can parasitize others must not be discovered by others at will. I am afraid that they are all hiding in unknown places. .
Not to mention there is Amon wandering around outside.
After "The Sun" told "The World" that he would be looking for a way to remove the mental pollution from the extraordinary characteristics for some time, "The Sun" told "The Hanged Man" very seriously that he would compile a list of common monsters in the area around Silver City as soon as possible.
Esther has a better impression of "The Sun". She admires this young man's sincere attitude very much. "The Sun" is not like "The Hanged Man" who always has many thoughts on his mind. "The Hanged Man" Esther always felt like she was being speculated.
Today's particularly active trading session finally ended, and as soon as the free communication time began, "Justice" couldn't wait to ask about the truth behind Backlund's smog.
"The Fool" chuckled, but gave a vague answer: "The root of the problem has not yet been discovered, but there are enough clues. I hope people from the three major churches will not be too stupid."
Why did Mr. Fool mention the three major churches? Esther remembered that Xiao Qi was always reading the newspapers she brought back to the hotel some time before the incident. Could it be related to the changes that Backlund and the Kingdom of Loen have frequently implemented in recent years?
After "The World" informed "The Hanged Man" that he had seen traces of a certain human trafficker, "The World" applied to "The Fool" for a private communication with "The Lover".
Esther was stunned, wondering why "The World" wanted to talk to her privately, and then quietly waited for "The World" to speak.
After "The Fool" signaled that the two of them could start, "The World" chuckled twice before saying coldly:
"Someone is looking for your whereabouts, Miss Smooth Thief."
"Huh? How do you - wait, you are not the 'Black Emperor', are you? Detectives Ke and Sherlock commissioned you to find my whereabouts!?"
Esther seemed a little incoherent because she was quite surprised, but at the same time she was also very excited:
"How is Sherlock now? Is he still in Backlund? He didn't get sick in the haze, did he? I've already arrived in Pulitzer Harbor. If he's still there, I'll wait until the Tarot Club ends -"
"The World" cleared its throat, neither admitting nor denying its identity. Instead, it interrupted "Lover's" overly excited words and asked her to calm down:
"Then you'd better stay where you are, he's already leaving for Pulitzer Harbour."
"Sherlock is going to go to sea? By the way, he has been following the traces of mermaids. Is this also for promotion?" Esther was a little restless and wanted to go directly to Pulitzer Harbor to try her luck, but she thought I don't know whether Klein has arrived at the port, and I can only wait patiently for "The World"'s next words.
"The World" nodded slightly: "According to his schedule, he should go to the Pulitzer Harbor Ticketing Company tomorrow morning to buy a ticket to go to sea."
After a pause, "The World" added: "But he's disguised, so you'd better find a conspicuous place to wait."
Esther nodded happily: "I know about his sequence ability. Thank you very much for informing me about this, Mr. World!"
"The World" was silent for a few seconds and nodded: "Because Sherlock and I know each other well, and he has been eager to track down your whereabouts, I told you specifically, and I hope you won't talk too much to other people."
"I understand, your identity still needs to be kept secret, because the 'Black Emperor' has entered the official sight. I won't talk too much to other people, don't worry."
"The World" chuckled twice and turned to "The Fool": "Thank you, our private communication is over."
During the entire exchange between the two, everyone else seemed very curious, but "Justice" could observe more details than the others, and the "lover's" excitement was displayed openly.
This instead allowed "Justice" to speculate on some real marginal information. It seemed that "the world" was indeed connected to "the lover" in the real world, otherwise this news would not have made the usually casual "lover" so excited.
Although the "lover" often expressed surprise or thinking, this was the first time he appeared in a tarot meeting looking so happy and nervous.
Could it be that both of them are Mr. Fool’s favored ones? "Justice" couldn't help but have such thoughts, which could even explain the little attention "The World" paid to "Lovers" before.
However, "The Lover" has not shown any familiarity with "The World" before, which makes it difficult for such speculation to be established. It cannot be ruled out that because of the special status of "The Lover", Mr. "The Fool" asked "The World" to deliberately pay attention to the "Lovers" related matters. news and found clues about herself...
"Justice" is also a little confused in his heart. Could it be that after Backlund's mutation, Mr. "Fool" became dissatisfied and worried about his "lover", so he let "The World" conduct a secret investigation?
Afterwards, everyone discussed the issue of "The Sun" asking about Tarot gestures, but "The Hanged Man" believed that for reasons of confidentiality, it was best not to leave any easily exposed behavior in this regard.
The meeting was almost over here, and "The Fool" nodded calmly: "That's it for today's party."
"As you wish!"
Except for "Moon" who slowed down for a second because he was not used to it, everyone else stood up and saluted, paying tribute to the "Fool" at the head.
Everyone's vision was shrouded in crimson light, and their figures disappeared into their seats, except for "The World" and "Lover".
Esther was stunned for a moment, then looked at The Fool at the head of the seat, and then looked at The World uneasily. The World sat back on the high-backed chair calmly.
"The Fool" pressed his right hand, raised the light ball in his left hand, sent it into the air again, and hung it back above the long bronze table:
"Just a reminder, I still have the weapon that Mr. 'The Hanged Man' sacrificed. Please sit down first. I have something curious about."
When Esther heard the beginning, she was still grateful for Mr. "The Fool's" special reminder, but after hearing the rest of "The Fool's" words, she immediately became uneasy and sat back on the high-backed chair anxiously, as if she had done something wrong. A student who was detained by his teacher for something happened.
Esther really felt guilty, because that day in Backlund, she recited the honorable name of "Zoya" in exchange for the "divine descending". If Mr. "Fool" thought this was a kind of blasphemy or betrayal, then he couldn't tell. I just wanted to settle this matter, so I stayed here...
"Don't be so nervous." It seemed that because everyone else had left, The Fool's attitude became more easy-going. He chuckled softly, "I want to ask you about Zoya's situation and how you awakened Him."
Esther relaxed a lot. It seemed that "The Fool" was just curious about the situation at that time. She immediately described the whole process, including the honorific name of "Zoya". It was because of the obstruction of the gray fog that Esther dared to Such a bold retelling.
However, what she told only ended with the witch and Amon's clone being "hidden" by the mysterious lady. She really didn't want to recall the experience of being tortured on a desert island.
"That mysterious lady is at least an angel of the Church of the Night Goddess. I don't know the rest."
"The Fool" tilted his head and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, seeming to be thinking about something.
"The World" then spoke: "Aren't you a 'thief'? 'Zoya's' ability looks like a 'monster' path."
"I can't figure this out, but compared to actually using the power of the 'destiny' path, it feels like 'Zoya' allowed me to borrow his power."
Esther couldn't help but glance at the light ball above her head, and she boldly asked "The Fool": "I would like to ask, does 'Zoya' have any contact with you? Is he really the attendant who escaped from you? ?”
After a few seconds of silence that made Esther feel long, "The Fool" smiled and leaned back on the high-backed chair:
"It depends on His choice. Destiny has always been wonderful, and you should understand it deeply."
Esther seemed to feel that "The Fool"'s gaze penetrated the gray fog, showing a gaze as gentle as his smile.
Esther nodded vigorously: "Thank you for your enlightenment and tolerance."
Then she turned to "The World" with some doubts. She didn't know why "The Fool" would leave "The World" behind, but Esther had a hunch that "The World" might have news to tell her.
"The World" met Esther's gaze, and her voice was cold and unwavering: "What happened to your previous state? If you can't control your state when you return to the real world, I will not send a letter to Sherlock to let him Take the risk and find yours.”
Esther subconsciously touched her eyes and lips, hesitating due to her resistance to the topic, but soon she decided to skip the details and confess appropriately:
"I met Amon's true form and had to borrow power from 'Zoya' and used some special means to get rid of him. Amon is also pursuing your traces, Mr. Fool, and please be more careful."
"The World" seemed a little shocked and leaned forward slightly: "You escaped?"
"Well, I still have some luck. If it weren't for Mr. Fool, I might still be in chaos now."
Esther stopped talking sadly.
"The World" also lowered his head: "I have no other questions."
When Sherlock Moriarty meets Esther in his new identity, there will naturally be another conversation.
