Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

After the blue-haired man left, Daniz's game of cards came to an end. He made quite a fortune and stopped at the right time.

Seeing Danitz exchanging chips for cash, Esther couldn't help but ask, "Don't want to play again? I think you are lucky today."

"No, I can't trust that guy just now. If he backhand sells our information to Steel, that would be bad luck."

Esther shook her head: "He won't."

"Where do you get your confidence?"

Danitz could not trust the blue-haired ghost ship captain, and "Vice Admiral Iceberg" had speculated that there might be other forces behind him. Danitz could not be said to be acquainted with the other party. The mutual trust between pirates on different ships was similar to the love in "Red Theater".

It's all farts.

Esther adjusted her wide-brimmed straw hat: "I won't go with you at noon. You can go wherever you want after that. Try not to get wet, as the makeup on your face will be stained."

"Huh? Then what are you going to do?"

"How about finding some restaurants for lunch?" Esther asked.

Daniz's previous illusions were immediately shattered: "I thought you were here to help me collect intelligence..."

Esther had a clear conscience: "No, I just came to join in the fun."

She originally wanted to try playing two games in the casino, but what Daniz said made sense.

Mr. "The Hanged Man" is a very cunning and sophisticated character, and his attitude cannot be completely equated with his actual actions. Danitz's injury is not fully healed yet, so it is safer for him to keep a low profile. Esther can understand his wariness about "The Hanged Man".

As soon as the front leg and Daniz broke up at the entrance of the "Gold Coin Casino", the back leg Esther encountered some small troubles.

Esther felt a little regretful at this moment. After all, her makeup style today was more gaudy. Even if she was wearing a mask, it would only make those who had different intentions more fanciful.

With a flick of her wrist, Esther decisively stole the ideas of the two bastards blocking the alley, and quickly digested the few memories she had stolen.

They are really pirates. Isn't there a "Red Theater" in Bayam that specializes in making a living in this area? How presumptuous!

Because she didn't want to cause trouble, Esther's hand that fell on "Logan's Claw" finally moved away, and she quickly walked around them and walked out of the alley before the two people returned to normal.

If I could be promoted to "parasite", I could act in other forms and wouldn't be so troubled. But if you want to parasitize others...it doesn't matter. There are so many pirates in Bayam, why don't you worry about not finding any with criminal records?

Esther walked through several streets like a stroll. After wandering for a long time, she came to a spacious street with many Intis sycamore trees.

After hiding the mask on her face, she stepped into a restaurant with a neat and clean appearance. Under the guidance of the waiter, she sat down at a smaller single table.

It was close to twelve o'clock, and there were still a lot of people dining in the store. The more private corner next to it was blocked by a flower wall to form a separate compartment, but it was not completely closed. A separate customer could be observed inside. Meal.

Esther glanced at the menu casually: "Just one of your special grilled fish, and a glass of Tyana juice with pulp. Do you also have Intis dishes? Then add a grilled pudding, Thanks."

After the waiter turned and left, Esther felt the eyes of the guests sitting at the table next to her.

Esther turned her head so that she could see beyond the sparse holes in the flower wall and meet the gentleman's scrutinizing gaze. She gave this handsome young man a proud and sweet smile.

All of this man's hair was pressed under a silk top hat, and he did not take off his hat even when dining indoors. His emerald eyes were very deep and full of unique allure.

Esther narrowed her eyes. This gentleman seemed to have light makeup on his face, deliberately adding shadows to his facial features, making his originally more neutral appearance much tougher.

It seems that there is indeed a tradition of male makeup in Intis, and this gentleman’s makeup skills are pretty good.

Just when Esther wanted to look away, the young man in a double-breasted dress suddenly moved his body closer to the flower wall and asked in a low voice with shining eyes:

"Ma'am, are you interested in making a little money?"

His Rune language had a hint of Intis accent, which instantly reminded Esther of some disgusting people. Coupled with these words, Esther couldn't help but sneer:

"I'm not in that business, sir."

After saying that, she turned away, too lazy to talk to this person anymore.

"No, no, you misunderstood!" The voice on the other side of the flower wall sounded again. After his voice was raised, he sounded more like a teenager who had not gone through the voice change period. "I just want your help. Go to Bayam. If you want to travel to other places, I can provide the corresponding funds, you just need to——"

Esther suddenly stared at him in surprise:

"Just pretend to be you?"

"Actually you are a lady, sir?"

Esther originally just wanted to make a bad joke to let the other person know that she was not interested, but the other person's subsequent behavior made Esther see through the truth.

The voice on the other side of the flower wall stopped suddenly, but soon sounded more urgently: "Red hair is quite rare here. I really hope you can consider what I said, or just leave Bayam by boat in that disguise." That’s it! I can provide proof of identity and boat tickets!”

Esther looked at "him" doubtfully: "Aren't you afraid that I will sell your information?"

The "man" calmed down instead: "You don't know me, and I won't come to this restaurant again after today. What do I have to be afraid of? Anyway, they always know that I am still in Bayam... I will soon Will leave here."

"You are very free and easy." Esther heard the other party's lie and did not expose it. Instead, she smiled and "complied", and then quietly waited for the waiter to serve the food.

She has no obligation to help others lead away trouble, and she is not a philanthropist.

Soon, the waiter placed grilled fish and drinks on the table, and after getting Esther's consent, desserts were also served.

Esther skillfully picked up the pair of chopsticks that were not as smooth as tree branches, skillfully separated the fish meat from the fish bones, and brought it to her mouth. It was not at all obvious that she was eating with chopsticks for the first time.

"Two hundred gold pounds. If you want, I can even ask someone to help you arrange your identity and send you to Intis. Legal entry, including work arrangements, and at most one family member." The suspicious person disguised as a man became more serious. the word "legal".

Esther frowned and glanced at the pair of demantoid-like eyes in the flower wall with suspicion. The other person's expression was anxious and urgent.

If Esther was really just an ordinary girl in Bayam, she would definitely agree without saying a word. Going to the "big city" might be something that ordinary residents on these islands have been dreaming about all their lives. Sweet dreams.

However, after bidding farewell to their home island, the essence of their lives did not change much, and they never really left the bottom. Many people cannot understand this and just want to live a better life in more prosperous places.

Esther glanced indifferently: "If you just want me to die for you, how can I verify what you said? Maybe you can try swearing on your most precious thing, and then I will consider you. proposal."

There was silence for a while, as Esther enjoyed the fish wrapped in the rich flavor of spices, not paying attention to the struggle in the heart of the man behind the flower wall next door.

"I... swear on the name of my family that this is just a commission and I will not let you die on my behalf."

"Please, I'm not sure whether I know the family you're talking about. If you pretend to be the Augustus family, I don't know whether it's true or not -"

The "man"'s gritted teeth voice came over: "I swear on the honor of the Sauron family."

Esther was suddenly stunned. She took a sip of Tyana juice to dilute the taste of spices in her mouth, lowered her eyes and took a deep breath, focusing on the perception that made everything become chaotic.

Soon she got the answer she wanted:

The faint salty and smoky smell is like a rusty sword polished in flames.

Esther quickly raised her head and showed a cheerful smile: "The oath I just mentioned was just to tease you."

The anger in the other person's eyes almost turned into reality: "You——"

"You are a 'Hunter'. Directly?"

The green-eyed "man" was silent for several seconds, looking at Esther clearly: "You are extraordinary...I see, I was wrong. I'm sorry."

If the other party is an extraordinary person, then there is a high probability that he will not have a simple background, and there is no need to take risks for such a small amount of money. The conditions he proposes are not very attractive at all.

Just when this "gentleman" wanted to take the initiative to cancel the transaction, Esther suddenly nodded and raised the glass of juice in her hand:

"I agree to help you, but the conditions must be changed. Two hundred gold pounds, you have to find a way to provide potion to disguise the color of your eyes, and -"

"I want a tube of your blood, just ten milliliters."

The "man" immediately frowned: "That's not okay. There are too many cases where blood can be used for curses and tracking in mysticism."

Esther began to take small bites of the baked pudding, and the sweet taste made her feel better: "Then we don't need to talk."

After a pause, Esther spoke sincerely for the first time in this conversation: "Actually, the red hair is just my disguise. Judging from your confident performance, my disguise should be quite successful."

She tapped her cheek and used the mental interference of the "Trickster" to create an illusion.

At this time, the "man's" eyes were completely frozen. Although they were not exactly alike, "he" was full of illusions like looking in a mirror. If he was an unfamiliar person, he would definitely admit his mistake at a glance!

Esther smiled and shook her head, retracting the illusion imposed on her face: "A tube of blood may be too much, what do you think if I replace it with something else, such as some information?"

"What do you want? Two hundred gold pounds is almost all the savings I can scrape together. I even have to borrow money from the elders in the family! I don't have the funds to help you find out anything else!" The person opposite gritted his teeth, but it was hard to find the answer. Cover the heartbeat in your eyes.

The corners of Esther's mouth curled up. After making extremely excessive demands, she would give in, and the fish would take the bait:

"It's not something important. I want information about the 'Hunter' path, everything you know."

"...You want the formula?"

Esther shook her head: "No, the price you pay is too high, and it's not fair. I just want the sequence name and general capabilities, I just want to know, really."

She smiled and winked:

"If you don't believe me, look at my sincere eyes."
