Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

The conditions proposed by Esther were indeed much looser than the previous one.

After Esther slowly finished the baked pudding, the "man" disguised as a man struggled for a moment and finally gritted his teeth and nodded:

"Can."

Esther took out the notebook from her shoulder bag, spread out a blank page, sandwiched the pen in the middle, and stuffed it through the gap on the side of the flower wall:

"You should be literate, right?"

The "man" gave her a rude look, took the notebook, and quickly wrote down nearly two pages of information.

During this time, Esther called the waiter over and added another apple pie. Anyway, she had nothing to do, and she had already made up her mind to let the "gentleman" next door pay the bill.

Of course it doesn’t hurt if you don’t have to spend your own money.

It wasn't until Esther had almost eaten the apple pie that the other person returned her notebook. Esther just glanced at it briefly and put it back in her bag, planning to go back to the hotel in the evening and ask Klein to help divine the authenticity.

How about learning divination from Klein? She couldn't help but have such thoughts.

"How should I give you the rest?" the "gentleman" asked.

Now that the other party showed enough sincerity, Esther got down to business:

"I don't need your real proof of identity. It's best to buy the ticket to a nearby island. I have to consider the return trip. The black ticket is more reliable because you are still hiding your identity, right?"

The other party nodded: "Yes, there is no problem with that."

"Can you make sure the other party notices me leaving Bayam?"

"They've been keeping an eye on the docks in Byam, waiting for anyone who looks like them to show up."

Esther squinted her eyes and thought for a moment. This plan relied more on "luck" than on the closeness of the plan itself. The cost of two hundred gold pounds was enough.

What she lacks most is luck.

Esther nodded: "Since you dare to appear here, you must have something to do with the people behind this Intis restaurant, right? Just leave the things here in the restaurant and tell them that they are for 'Hamel'. Only those who know Someone with this name can come and get it."

The "gentleman" next door to the flower wall watched her carefully from the gap and noted down all the features of Esther's face:

"Hamel... I know. I will prepare everything tomorrow, including the ferry ticket to Simim in three days. It only takes half a day to return to Bayam from there. The fifty gold pounds prepaid will be left together. In the restaurant, the rest will be handed over to you after you complete the task and return to Bayam.”

"Okay, happy to work with you."

After Esther finished speaking, she waved to the waiter, pointed at the flower wall and said, "This gentleman has agreed to pay for me."

After seeing the "gentleman" next door nodding with a cold face, the waiter stepped back respectfully. Esther made a face at the refugee disguised as a man, said "Thank you", and walked out without looking back. Went to this Intis style restaurant.

The "gentleman" pressed his hat and frowned in disgust.

After the red-haired Hamel left, "he" quickly realized the impact on him.

This guy is really good at provoking and digging traps. Her words pushed me to make decisions throughout the whole process, and unknowingly made me lean in the direction that was beneficial to her. I was actually provoked by her.

My spiritual intuition didn't even call the police. Is it because her sequence is much higher than mine, or because she doesn't have much malicious intent?

Fortunately, she accepted this task. Even if she cheated and only took away the prepaid gold pounds, she would only lose part of the money. It doesn't matter... As long as she doesn't get caught by Tracy, she can hide safely in Bayam until I can go back to Indy. That day!

——

Esther stepped out of the restaurant and walked along the avenue of sycamore trees planted with Intis. She passed the Intis embassy and continued walking without any stop.

Something was wrong, very wrong.

Why did I meet another "Hunter" so coincidentally? I was just moving forward as I pleased. How could I end up here just by chance? Judging from the fact that she came to this restaurant first, I should have been attracted to her. Sauron family, Sauron...

Could it be related to the Medici family? Bansi?

While searching for relevant points through leaping thinking, Esther suddenly connected two things.

She recalled the idea of ​​stealing the contaminated bishop on Bansi Island.

I'm contaminated! ?

Esther touched her forehead in confusion. There was no warning from her "spiritual intuition", which made her panic quickly dissipate.

If it were something that could affect me and cause negative harm, "Zoya" would not be able to react at all. I had already climbed the Gray Fog and participated in the Tarot Club on Monday, but Mr. Fool had no reaction at that time.

So even if it has an impact, it's not serious at all, it just causes such an inexplicable attraction...

Meeting this descendant of the Sauron family was just by chance. There was no special problem with this commission, we just had to pay attention to safety.

Esther adjusted the red wig on her head in distress and hesitated for a moment, wondering whether she should pray to the "Fool".

——

When Klein received the prayer, he had just scared away Daniz who was wandering back to the hotel to goof off.

He originally planned to follow Daniz to see the situation, but Klein gave up this plan because of the layers of prayers coming from his ears.

He returned to the room and boarded the gray fog, and saw that the crimson star representing the "Hanged Man" was constantly turbulent, and he immediately used his spirituality to amplify his prayers.

"Dear Mr. Fool, I was tracking down the key of 'Vice Admiral Iceberg', and I met 'Fire Flame' Daniz and the lady who was suspected of being Miss Lover at the Gold Coin Casino.

I heard that they plan to join forces to deal with 'Iron' Maiviti. If that person is indeed Miss Lover, she needs my cooperation, and I can provide some extra help. "

"The Hanged Man" is also in Bayam now, and he has come into contact with Daniz and Esther...

Klein weighed it for a moment. He was slightly surprised that the true identity of the "lover" was guessed. However, considering the strange phenomena shown by the light ball in the gray fog, the "Hanged Man" might be suspicious of the color on Esther's body. Very sensitive.

Esther's appearance is almost completely unobstructed by the gray fog, and is exactly the same as in reality. It's not like others who are made of stars. It's just that I pulled the gray fog to cover Esther's appearance, otherwise she would almost be " "Real Face System" to participate in the Tarot Club.

It seems reasonable to be recognized by the careful and thoughtful "Hanged Man".

If we get the help of "The Hanged Man", the success of this hunting plan will be greatly improved. There is no need for the "Hanged Man" to harm the "lover". There is not much conflict of interest between him and us. "The Hanged Man" "There is no need to cut off Tarot Club channels.

After all, the Hanged Man is not very fanatical about the Church of Storms. As the "Fool", Klein can see this very clearly. The Hanged Man's ambition and brains are there, and he cannot commit betrayal. Selling out the Tarot Society.

Moreover, "Gehrman Sparrow" also has to appear together with the "lover", but how to coordinate this identity needs to be carefully considered.

"The Hanged Man" has obviously regarded Esther as my beloved, so using the identity of "lover" to cover up the existence of "the world" is a good shield for me. Using "Gehrman" It is a bit difficult to conceal the two-way information during the meeting.

But "The Hanged Man" is not a gullible person. He will not reveal his true thoughts to his "lover" without meeting each other. This kind of character actually provides me with room for maneuver.

The possibility of these two people communicating in private is very low. As long as I pay close attention, there will be no problem.

At worst, if Klein's identity as "The Fool's Favorite" is also revealed to Esther, and the gift of resurrection from the dead is also given to "The Fool" and "The World", Esther might be relieved.

Klein behind "Gehrman" knows "the world", but it does not need to be equal to "the world" - after all, "the world" can be anyone.

Maybe this can be regarded as a faceless man in a certain way?

Klein sat on the high-backed chair and made up his mind. He waved down the light ball on the long bronze table and sent the last prayer message of "The Hanged Man" into it.

Then he left the gray mist.

According to Esther's character, she would rush back to the hotel in a hurry to ask for his opinion.

——

A few minutes later, there was a knock on Klein's door.

He stood up from the chair leisurely, came back from thinking about reviewing the plan, smoothed the wrinkles on his shirt, and then calmly opened the door.

His posture was in sharp contrast to Esther's embarrassment outside the door.

But when he saw Esther's appearance with red hair and a mole, Klein felt the same surprise as Danitz: Who are you?

It's just that Klein concealed it very well, and "Gehrman" wouldn't be surprised by this little thing.

Esther was originally relatively close to the hotel, but she immediately rushed back as soon as she received the message from "The Fool":

"K——Gehrman! I received special news. There is a gentleman who lives at sea all year round who is willing to help with the "hunting plan." Do we want to join forces with him?"

Klein frowned and looked thoughtful: "Is it reliable?"

"I don't think he dares to set any traps," Esther was very confident at this point. The Hanged Man's cautious character did not seem like he dared to offend The Fool. "He has seen him in the casino before. Daniz and I had a relationship, so I came here."

Klein even did some divination and asked the pendulum to give a clockwise "affirmative" answer before nodding to Esther: "I have to go with you to see him."

"Is this...convenient? I need to ask the other party's opinion."

"Of course. I'm free." Klein replied briefly.

Esther ran back to the room in a hurry to pray to "The Fool". Klein also closed his door, sat on the chair and climbed into the gray mist again.

Within a few minutes, he clicked on the sphere that emitted the prayer halo:

"Great Mr. Fool, please help me tell Mr. Hanged Man that I really need his help. If we meet, I will take my friend with me. If he doesn't mind, he can make an appointment at any time. The place and time of the meeting..."

Klein first sent this "prayer" with only sound into the stars of "The Hanged Man", then embodied the image of "The World" praying, and sent another paragraph:

"Dear 'Fool', please help me convey the message to Mr. 'The Hanged Man'. The friends around 'Lover' are actually my students. There is no need to worry about his credibility. Please be sure to keep this secret..." "

After doing this, Klein leaned back on the high-backed chair and let out a depressed sigh: "Why are there so many more vests?"
