Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang
Chapter 158 Those who go to sea
On this night, over barbecued murloc meat and fine wine, Captain Ireland of the "White Agate" shared many anecdotes about the sea with "former adventurer" Cleeves - treasures, pirates, lost civilizations, etc. Each item will make Esther feel the strangeness of this world.
What made Esther confused was that the drinks given to her were the same as the two children, which were sweet iced tea with no choice.
She also wanted to try the golden red honey-like Sonia blood wine!
When hearing the legends of treasures, Esther couldn't help but have some fantasies, but if she could really find the treasure, she didn't know what she could do.
The meaning of material is a little thin here to her. Perhaps it is limited to the transaction of extraordinary materials. Can it be used to purchase the extraordinary characteristics of the "parasite"? Esther couldn't help but think so.
Before returning to the cabin, Cleves called out to Klein and Esther, and handed two gold pounds into Klein's hand: "Your share."
Seeing Klein's stern face, Esther had no choice but to speak for him: "But we didn't do anything?"
Clevis said solemnly: "You helped take care of the children."
But he glanced at Esther's light blue eyes, revealing some deep meaning.
Before Esther spoke again, Klein drew a triangle on his chest: "Thank you for your generosity."
Seeing that Klein did not refuse, Esther stopped saying anything, waved to a few people, and followed Klein back towards the second class cabin.
Esther moved closer to Klein and lowered her voice: "Is he worried that we will have other ideas about their harvest?"
"Well, there are probably a lot of people like this at sea."
Klein handed a bill to Esther, who took it and put it into her arms naturally, without any embarrassment.
"I really hope there will be such a good opportunity in the future..."
"Pirates, bounty." Klein gave the money-making route he had planned early in the morning.
Esther nodded vigorously, then pointed at herself: "Is it okay for me to be a bait? Then you will be responsible for sniping, and there will probably be many pirates who take the bait!"
What kind of fishing law enforcement is this...
The two of them chanted silently in their hearts at the same time.
——
For the next two days, the White Onyx sailed quietly on the channel to Damir Port, with calm and calm conditions. This colonial island will be its supply station. After staying overnight, the White Onyx will set sail the next day.
What Klein didn't expect was that Esther actually succeeded in playing the role of a "sea musician" as she said jokingly before. In just two nights and simple harmonica playing, she was in the entertainment room. His performance won a lot of applause and praise.
Even Clevis came over in surprise and asked Klein:
"Your companion Hamel is really a musician?"
"Well, she is." Klein replied amusedly and helplessly.
However, Esther seemed to enjoy the time when everyone was immersed in the music, and Klein was too lazy to care about such insignificant things, as long as she never mentioned asking "Gehrman Sparrow" to help shake the maracas. , just let her be.
When another song ended, Cleeves and Klein clapped like everyone else.
The girl named Donna and her brother named Denton were sitting with their parents, applauding Esther happily and waving their hands vigorously at her. In the past two days, Esther had been bragging to these two children about "the legends of maritime musicians of all ages", and she even easily became familiar with Mr. and Mrs. Uldi Blanche.
Klein also realized that this was probably inseparable from the ability of the "Stealer" Sequence 8 "Scammer". Esther's charm and eloquence, coupled with the wonderful resonance generated when she played, wanted to gain the trust of others. It couldn't be easier.
Let her be the bait. Those pirates won't be deceived into wearing their pants first... Klein suddenly came up with this idea. He was very fortunate that this fellow has always been a very bottom-line and kind-hearted person.
If it were anyone else, Klein would really not dare to travel with a "thief" like this. He always felt that he would be the one who was tricked in the end.
Without this episode, Klein might soon feel the boredom of life at sea day after day. Looking at the seascape that was thrilling at first for a few days would only make people feel numb.
But unlike him, Esther could stand on the side of the ship and watch for a long time every day. She seemed to really enjoy everything she could see or hear, and she was also comfortable in the guest rooms of other passengers, which was better than Klein's impression. Much more active.
And her skills in weaving lies are getting better and better.
Considering Esther's previous experience, Klein could understand her current change.
But it feels somewhat unworthy.
At night, the whistle shrieked for a long time. After several days of sailing, we finally arrived at Damir Port.
Esther leaned against the side of the ship and looked at the port getting closer and closer with interest:
"Gehrman, do you think there will be anything delicious here?"
"I heard they have special marinated meat."
Klein paused and then said, "I want to go to the bar."
Estela said a long "Oh~" and said, "Then I'll go with you, I want to try what the bar here has to offer!"
"Need not."
Klein's reply was very concise, and Esther also understood the connotation of Klein's words: He didn't plan to start his "hunting operation" directly, he just wanted to try the waters in local places with pirate activities, and took Esther with him. The conference was too eye-catching.
Esther immediately replied: "Okay, then I'll walk around the pier. Do you want me to pack a pickled meat dish for you to try?"
"Whatever." Klein did not refuse Esther's kindness.
Klein wanted to go to the bar to learn about the news at sea, so Esther had no choice but to choose a restaurant not far from the pier. Thanks to the five pounds that Clevis had distributed before, Esther's wallet barely had the confidence to eat something good.
Under the strong recommendation of the store clerk, Esther simply agreed to try Port Damier’s specialty volcanic crater air-dried cured meat.
The front soup was served first. It was still a mixed-flavored seafood soup stewed with shellfish. It was delicious and warm to the stomach. Not long after, the cured meats were served in slices and plates, along with a basket of buns and soft cheeses, and a small kale salad.
It was just the color of the cured meat that made Esther feel nervous. The distinct and dazzling appearance of red, black and white stripes was very similar to the chaotic color blocks she had seen when looking at the spiritual world.
But Esther was always bold when it came to food. She broke the warm bun in half, spread the bacon slices and soft cheese inside, and then put it into her mouth together.
The taste is unexpected and really good. This kind of cured meat has a delicate texture without the greasy taste of fat. Although the flavor of spices is mixed, after arousing the taste buds, it is suppressed by the cheese and bread, which does not cover up the cured meat itself. The mellowness.
It's really delicious!
Esther chewed the food with enjoyment and shook her head subconsciously.
To be honest, there was rarely anything she didn't like as long as it was food.
Just when she lowered her gaze, the surrounding scene began to be gradually penetrated by colorful patches of color.
This change made Esther's eyes widen suddenly, and she realized that everything was fine and there was nothing strange about it.
Was it an illusion just now? Or is there an abnormality in "spiritual intuition"?
Esther looked around warily. There were many guests sitting in the restaurant, all enjoying their dinner while talking and laughing. The same cured meat cold cuts and buns were placed on their tables.
She didn't detect anything suspicious.
So Esther focused her eyes on the bacon on the plate, hesitated again, forked out a piece and put it into her mouth.
As she swallowed, the feeling of the blending of reality and the spiritual world reappeared for a moment, and then disappeared naturally.
Because there is something special about this island, this volcano-dried cured meat contains the spirit of the spirit world?
Esther thought about it for a while and decided to pack more later. Although it was a bit tasteless to her, if given to Klein, it might have the effect of improving his spirituality.
At least it still tastes good.
Because there were always moments when the spiritual world became clear, Esther had to slow down her meal. When she left the restaurant, she packed a portion of bacon slices and sweet ice tea with the waiter, and then slowly returned to the pier.
From a distance, she saw Klein chatting with Donna and Denton's father, and they walked towards the White Onyx together.
Esther immediately stepped forward and greeted Mr. Blanche.
But just as they were getting on the boat, Denton took advantage of Donna not grabbing his hand, sneaked two steps behind, and asked Esther in a low voice:
"Sister Hamel, why is your hair a little shiny?"
Esther put her finger up to her lips and made a "silence" gesture: "Because I secretly hid the stars inside! When it gets dark enough that I can't see anything, I will let them come out for a walk~"
Denton's eyes immediately widened: "Really!?"
"Of course I'm teasing you, hehe," Esther smiled slightly and patted the boy's back, "Follow your parents quickly, don't let them worry."
Denton curled his lips in dissatisfaction, chased after Donna and grabbed her arm, muttering to his sister.
Standing at the staircase of the second-class cabin, Esther handed the packed items to Klein: "The packed bacon may have the effect of slightly increasing spirituality, and it still tastes good."
"Thank you," Klein took the bacon, "Have you eaten it?"
Esther knew that Klein meant to ask if she was okay after eating, so she immediately nodded: "It's okay, nothing obvious..."
She stopped mid-sentence. Esther looked at a distorted color patch behind Klein. A skeleton made of white bones emerged from the crack in the spiritual world above, because it only exposed Part of its head and huge arms were missing, making it difficult for Esther to visually measure its height, but it was at least three meters tall.
Klein also looked back. A light letter was thrown out. Klein stretched out his hand and just caught the letter.
Then the skeleton messenger's body disintegrated into pieces of bone, fell onto the deck, melted away, and quickly left.
Esther and Klein turned around at the same time and saw the two siblings whispering to each other at the side of the first-class cabin stairs.
At this time, Donna and Denton were looking over here dumbfounded. Esther asked Klein in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Are you going to steal their memories?"
Klein nodded immediately: "Okay."
With my fellow countrymen here, such a convenient ability is not in vain. Esther immediately clasped her right hands twice, making the two children's eyes briefly confused and forgetting about the scene they just saw. Because Esther has the ability to deliberately restrain herself, so The two children quickly regained consciousness.
Esther waved to them, and the two children waved goodbye to her in confusion. Cleeves took a glance and found nothing unusual.
But after Esther and Klein climbed the stairs, Esther couldn't help but ask softly:
"It seems like there's something very dangerous in that envelope of yours?"
Klein weighed the envelope, guessing that it contained the whistle and the "blasphemy card" returned to him by Mr. Azik. He immediately nodded: "I'll go back to the cabin to deal with it."
Esther blinked her eyes hard and looked away, letting the black twisted color block and cold aura slowly dissipate in her perception, and she took the initiative to transfer her perception of them.
So when I don’t use conventional vision to perceive the outside world, is it similar to other extraordinary people who activate spiritual vision?
"Good night, I'm going back to my room!"
"OK, good night."
The two walked into their respective rooms and closed the door.
