Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Daniz couldn't sum up anything about the "acting method" for a while. He still needed more practice to verify his acting rules.

"Then what are you going to do in the morning?" Esther took the information on the "Blood Admiral" and others left by Daniz yesterday and looked through it carefully.

"Didn't I tell Gehrman yesterday? I have to find out more information about Steel and his gang. No brothels or bars will be open at this time, so I can only go to the casino."

"Casino!" Esther's eyes suddenly lit up, like a fox who saw a lonely hen.

"Why are you so excited?" Daniz was confused.

"That's a casino! I've wanted to go to that kind of place for a long time!"

Esther was even more excited. Klein happened to be away right now. She could use the excuse of "surveillance" to force Daniz to take her there, and no one could control her!

Daniz always felt weird: "It's not impossible to take you there... Do you know how to put on makeup?"

Esther raised her lips: "I dare not say that I am good at makeup, but it is definitely better than your disguise."

hateful! What's there to be proud of? Believe it or not, I won’t take you there! Daniz complained in his heart, but of course he only dared to say this in his heart.

Nearly an hour later, Esther and Daniz finished their disguises.

Daniz put on the black-haired hood again and got a brown peaked cap. After Esther traced his eyebrows, she traced thick dark circles under his eyes, and then drew a long scar extending from the side of his face to his chin.

"If there was a suitable powder, it should also change the color of your face."

"Is this necessary?" Daniz was confused, looking at his disfigured face in the mirror. When he subconsciously wanted to touch it, Esther slapped her hand hard.

Esther certainly did not hesitate to explain clearly:

"Of course, if I weren't worried about your reaction, I should give you a knife directly. The more distinctive the facial features, the easier it is to leave an impression on others and appear in other people's descriptions. When others see you, they will also prioritize It’s the guys with the scars.”

Esther put on a long red curly hair hood, even deliberately applied golden nail polish, and changed her clothes to wide-leg culottes and a brown jacket that are very common in the area. She nodded the bangs on her forehead, and a few light spots flickered into her eyes, turning Esther's pale pupils into a light cinnamon yellow.

She put a mole on the corner of her mouth, put on bright-colored lipstick made from flower juice, closed her eyes for two seconds and adjusted her mentality.

When Esther raised her head again and smiled sweetly, Daniz's eyes widened in confusion:

"Shit! Who are you!?"

"Isn't it the sense of difference that we need? The greater the difference, the harder it is for someone to connect. Disguise is also a kind of lie." Esther deliberately put on a charming smile, curling the corners of her mouth lazily and cunningly.

"You have changed too much..."

"You should study hard," Esther blinked, "For a 'hunter', disguise should also be a very important part, right?"

"Tsk, you are really annoying. I don't want to talk to you, so let's go!" Daniz shook his head irritably and walked towards the door first.

Esther grabbed the wide-brimmed straw hat on the table and put it on her head:

"I'm really not lying to you, Mr. Sieg~"

"Don't talk to me in that tone! It makes me even more angry!"

——

The "Gold Coin Casino" is located in an alley with no signage, but it is precisely because it is such an underground casino that it is convenient for pirates to enter and exit.

According to Daniz, this casino has a strong gang background. It is the first choice for pirates to sell stolen goods and buy things. Although it looks ordinary on the outside, it is quite famous among active pirates.

"But if you are so famous, won't official extraordinary people come here to search?"

"Haha, of course 'casino' is a legal industry here. After all, Bayam is not a place like Loon Intis that values ​​the law."

"That's right, you were almost killed on the street..." Esther stretched out her hand and wiped it on her neck.

Daniz clenched his fists hard. How can this Hamel hit people so hard!

The two walked into the casino under the scrutiny of the bodyguards.

Esther was not in a hurry to participate in the game, but followed Daniz. While watching Daniz exchange chips and sit at the card table, she observed the surrounding environment with the corner of her eye.

The space of this casino is wider than it looks from the outside, but there are not many guests spending time here at this time. Nightlife is more interesting to Bayam than during the day. It is just eleven o'clock, and many people stay up late to enjoy themselves. Maybe I just woke up.

Esther sniffed. She could smell some weird and mixed smells, but they were all so weak that she couldn't distinguish them.

Daniz glanced at Esther: "Don't you give it a try?"

"Let's take a look first." Estella pulled up a high stool and sat behind Daniz, not intending to serve the table before she understood the rules.

The dealer who was presiding over the card game didn't say anything. He just sorted out the betting chips of several people at the table, prepared to start a new round, and dealt the hole cards to everyone.

Speaking of which, it seems that playing cards were also invented by Emperor Russell... Why didn't he work hard to spread generators to the Northern Continent? Only as far as the steam engine.

Esther didn't focus on the card game for too long;

Because not long after the second game started, she smelled a clear, sea breeze-like smell.

Esther looked sideways and happened to see a man with conspicuous blue hair like seaweed. Years of living at sea had made his skin slightly bronze, and his deep facial features were more like a Loen people than a native resident.

The man was also looking over doubtfully, but he was looking at Daniz's side face next to Esther. Daniz didn't notice that he was staring at the card table with a very proud smile.

"Storm" pathway, not low ranking, blue hair, thirty years old, this is Bayam, the city of pirates...

Esther gasped, her little movement immediately attracted the man's attention.

The blue-haired man looked in Esther's direction. At first, he thought she was a rather strange woman. She seemed to be wearing a charming makeup style under her silver mask.

But those eyes that seemed to glow were very strange. The feeling of that light was too familiar to him, and it had left an extremely deep impression on him.

The moment the lady showed a slight expression of surprise, the blue-haired man's pupils dilated slightly.

When she was surprised, her neck would tilt back unconsciously, but her body would lean forward, making the vague sense of familiarity suddenly clear. She must have seen it somewhere before!

The light controlled by the "Fool" in the Tarot Club! ? Is that "lovers"?

After Esther turned her head, the blue-haired man walked firmly to the card table and stood beside her.

But instead, he focused more on the black-haired man with dark circles next to him. After careful observation, the blue-haired man whispered in surprise:

"Fire flames?"

There was uncertainty in his voice.

Because of Esther's presence, Daniz was very confident in his disguise today and seemed quite calm: "You have the wrong person."

Esther put a hand on the side of her face, looked at the scene funny, and said in a voice that only three people could hear:

"It's him."

Danitz almost jumped from his chair to the card table.

He stared at Esther in shock before turning back. The moment he saw the blue-green algae-like hair, he relaxed again, made a "shut up" gesture to Esther, and returned his attention to the unfinished card table.

Esther turned to the blue-haired man with a smile, but her voice was still very soft, ensuring that the conversation only stayed between the three of them: "Sir, do you know Daniz? I heard that he was on board the 'Vice Admiral Iceberg' The boatswain has a bounty of three thousand gold pounds."

"Oh? Are you more interested in his bounty? I heard that 'Vice Admiral Iceberg' found the 'Key to Death' and I am very interested in it."

The blue-haired man casually glanced at the card table and communicated with Esther in a low voice.

Esther shook her head: "If you are willing to offer a high price that is hard to refuse, maybe they will be happy. Isn't the 'Death's Treasure' a legend about fooling pirates? Or is there an organization that is also interested in it? "

Esther is hinting at the Church of the God of Storms.

The blue-haired man chuckled twice: "It seems that you have indeed gone to sea not long ago. Everyone at sea is curious about this. Legends that can be spread for such a long time often have reasons behind them."

"Oh, I was seen through," Esther didn't feel embarrassed at all, "I just think that treasures that are too conspicuous are like traps."

"Aren't you going to give it a try?" The blue-haired man nodded his chin at the card table.

Daniz increased his bet again, waiting for the next round of cards to be dealt: "You can see that she is a novice. Let her sit here and she will only lose money."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Sieg is very lucky. He is guaranteed to win money." Esther said casually.

Daniz pointed his finger at the blue-haired man. The blue-haired man understood and leaned next to him.

Daniz then said to him: "Help me pay attention to the whereabouts of 'Steel'."

The blue-haired man glanced at Danitz's left hand, which was bandaged and splinted, and nodded thoughtfully: "Is it because of the key?"

"His brain has been eaten by his living corpse!" Daniz spat bitterly.

Esther sat leisurely next to him, listening to the conversation between the two.

The blue-haired man straightened up and looked at the cards in Daniz's hand that had formed a straight flush: "Do you want to take revenge on him?"

"Hehe." Daniz smiled but said nothing.

The blue-haired man looked at Esther: "Are you going to help him? The last time 'Vice Admiral Iceberg' appeared was near Sonia Island seven days ago. It's not that quick to think of Byam."

"Fighting is not my strong point. I'm just a shooter."

Hearing Esther's hint that "there is someone behind the scenes," the blue-haired man looked thoughtful again. His scrutinizing gaze was so familiar to Esther that he had completely revealed his identity.

But now is not the right time for an "offline gathering". Daniz is still here. Esther decided to wait until Klein returns to the hotel in the evening, and then discuss with him whether he needs any foreign help in this regard, and then ask "The Fool" Pray.

After asking Daniz how to contact him and learning the location of "No. 15 Xiangshu Avenue", the gentleman had no idea of ​​continuing the communication. Before leaving, the blue-haired man patted Daniz on the shoulder and whispered to him:

"Don't forget the reward."

Then he nodded to Esther: "See you again if we are destined."

Esther smiled and waved her hand: "See you soon."
