Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Esther and Klein found a random restaurant and tried the lighter fish soup and spice toasted bread here.

Both of them tacitly agreed not to mention what happened just now, but in the middle of the meal, Esther brought up the thing she had been thinking about before:

"Gehrman, can you teach me divination?"

"You want to learn?"

Esther nodded vigorously: "I feel that divination has a wide range of applicability, and I really want to learn it!"

Klein showed no reaction on the surface, but in his heart he couldn't help but recall the strange appearance of the tarot cards just now. Judging from the short moment of surprise in the "Hanged Man", the appearance of the "Death" card was definitely Unexpected.

It should be good for Esther to learn divination, but she always feels that it will be very dangerous for others...

After a moment of final deliberation, Klein did not agree directly: "I'll think about it."

Esther noticed Klein's hesitation just now and had already predicted this result: "Well, I thought the danger of divination was not that great. I thought it was just a skill to learn."

She quickly changed the subject: "I'm going to Simim Island in three days to pretend to be someone else and make some extra money."

"Pretend?"

"Yes, actually it would be more convenient for you to do this than for me, but the other party is a woman..." Esther obviously thought of a certain scenario, and her smile gradually became weird, "She is being targeted, so I want to find someone to help draw the other person’s attention away.”

"Looking for you?" Klein expressed his doubts frankly.

Esther shook the red wig on her head very coolly: "Maybe it's because my appearance is so similar to hers, and with the small amount of illusions I can use on my body, I will definitely not be able to deceive the people squatting on the dock. question."

"Not safe."

Esther understood what Klein meant. He was considering the trouble he might cause in the future, so she explained a few more sentences:

"If it were someone else, the follow-up might be troublesome, but if it's just me, it doesn't matter. After all, I have some special factors. I will change my outfit after I get on the ship, and it won't take long to return to Bayam the next day."

I always felt that the person who asked Esther to do this was a bit taken advantage of. Klein cursed and nodded at Esther: "It's up to you."

In other words, he won't pay too much attention to this matter and just let Esther move freely.

If she is alone in this situation, she will not be remembered by the other party for a long time, and it will not be easy for others to keep track of her.

"Say something before you leave."

"Of course, I will tell you the day before I leave Bayam." Esther replied with a smile.

——

In the early morning, the mantis, cicada and oriole were all in their respective positions, ready for action.

When Klein, who had transformed into "Daniz", walked into No. 15 Xiangshu Avenue wearing black, the real Daniz and Esther were lying in ambush on the roof of a house some distance away. Cover up your own existence and wait for the moment to take action.

The people lurking in ambushes all over the streets rushed to the house at No. 15, preparing to block the "raging flames" inside. The "Punishers" who were squatting behind them decisively used the sealed objects.

Some kind of strange power appeared in Esther's perception, which could drag everyone within range into a dream. Fortunately, the roof the two of them were on was far enough apart that they would not be affected.

Klein used the ability of Daniz's shadow cloak to quickly escape from the area affected by the dream. Esther nudged Daniz next to her with her elbow:

"Above, flying carpet?"

Daniz narrowed his eyes, quickly locked onto the target at Esther's prompts, and identified the people carrying the flying carpet: "It's them."

"Lend me the gun."

Daniz pulled out his long-barreled revolver from his waist and threw it to Esther: "Can you use it?"

Esther glanced at the five full bullets inside, held the revolver in her right hand, and pressed her thumb on the hammer, ready to pull the trigger at any time: "Hermann is on the ground, we are operating in the air?"

Daniz gave a thumbs up: "No problem, I can use the Fire Crow to cover you. How about your accuracy?"

"It depends on luck."

"It depends on luck!?"

Before Daniz could say anything else, Esther had already jumped up to the adjacent rooftop and quickly approached the street.

Shit! There is indeed something wrong with this woman! There is no such thing as relying on luck at times like this!

Daniz cursed in his heart, and quickly condensed flames in his hands, concentrating on compressing them.

"Steel" Maiviti and "Calm Squall" jumped off the flying carpet together, trying to intercept the escaping "Danitz" below.

Esther clung to the side wall of the second floor of a house, stepping on the protruding balcony.

She superimposed a little disturbing illusion of "scammer" on her body. In the dark corner, her figure blended well into the darkness without attracting any attention from the other party.

The moment the blazing fireball hit "Steel" Maiviti from the roof, Maiviti blocked Daniz's blow with his arms in front of him.

Esther grabbed and explored with her right hand and successfully stole the extraordinary ability of "Iron" Maiviti to condense the cold white frost!

Because of Daniz's intelligence support, Esther has enough knowledge about the target, and the success rate of random thefts has skyrocketed. One time is enough!

From the scattered flying fireworks, a figure wrapped in a black cloak strolled out, revealing a thin and cold face underneath.

Gehrman Sparrow set his sights on his target.

When the snowflakes were just flying around him, Squall thought it was "steel" Maiviti who used his extraordinary ability to condense it. The weeds in the gaps in the street quickly showed traces of corrosion under the frost. This was a special "steel". With the "Steel" sequence ability, Squall has seen many times where the enemy's flesh and blood were frozen.

"Bloody Thorn" Huntley, who was sitting on the flying carpet, instantly realized something was wrong, because there was no ice gathering around "Steel" himself, and he was wholeheartedly fighting against the mysterious man's attack on the spirit body.

There's something wrong with the scope of the falling ice and snow!

Huntley immediately spoke out to remind Squall below, and dropped his right hand to the bag containing spellcasting materials at his waist: "Be careful! There is--"

The red firelight lit up in the night, dancing fiercely and spreading its wings. Daniz raised his hand, and one after another the fire crows flew down from all directions and pounced on Huntley on the flying carpet.

Huntley's hand immediately fell to the other bag, threw out a cluster of light blue powder, and uttered an ancient Hermetic phrase: "Wave!"

Dark blue waves rolled out of the water curtain, extinguishing all the rushing flame crows. They quickly evaporated under the high temperature, and bursts of white mist filled the air.

With a thought in her mind, Esther raised the revolver in her right hand without hesitation, held the butt of the gun steady with her left hand, pulled the trigger steadily, and fired three shots!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

On the other side, Klein snapped his fingers three times, and the air bullets with purifying power popped out at the same time. The compressed power suddenly penetrated into "Steel" Maiviti's chest, leaving a wound that overflowed with golden flames.

Squall's expression became increasingly gloomy, and all the flying knives he threw were dodged by this man's unnatural movements. The opponent's speed and agility were much faster than his. What's more important is that the numbers of both sides are equal. In addition to "Lieyyan" and the man in black robes, there is a third person who fired!

The waves and fog covering the flying carpet suddenly broke away, and the seawater falling to the ground fell to the ground. It quickly merged with the frost on the ground and condensed into a slippery ice surface.

There were three blood holes in "Bloody Thorns" Huntley's right hand, left shoulder, and chest and abdomen, and bright red was dripping down.

His left hand was still trembling and he wanted to reach for the cloth bag at his waist, but Daniz, who had been paying attention to the battle situation, seized this opportunity, and a fireball compressed into a blazing white fireball flew towards him. Under Daniz's control, Next, the fireball accurately hit Huntley's face covered in cold sweat, exploded, and overturned Huntley's lifeless body from the flying carpet.

The out-of-control flying carpet slowly sank.

Esther jumped directly from the height of the second floor. Because of the smaller friction on the ice at her feet, she just pushed hard and flew out, and was in front of Squall in the blink of an eye.

The scalpel that Squall originally wanted to throw at the man in black robes immediately changed its direction. He blocked the scalpels on both hands in front of him, and suddenly stopped the strange knife that the woman was wielding with her right hand.

"哐——"

But then, Squall realized something was wrong. This was not the sound that the blades should make when they intersected. The sound was too dull!

"It's fraud." A chuckle sounded, and the thing held on the scalpel twisted and returned to its original appearance. It was a long-tube revolver!

Esther turned her left hand, and the "Logan's Claw" spun up from her palm and cut towards Squall's chest.

Instead, Squall's eyes lit up: Her weapon was too short, there was still a chance!

He decisively swung the barrel of the gun he was holding to the left, and pressed the elbows of his hands down sharply, trying to force the petite woman back with a close attack.

Esther's expression showed no fluctuation, and she let the barrel of the gun come out without paying attention. The "Logan's Claw" suddenly popped out a short length - just a change of centimeters.

A gash was opened between Squall's chest and abdomen, and the red bloody mouth instantly began to turn black, and the toxin quickly integrated into his body.

Before Squall's elbows slammed into her head, Esther raised her free right arm. The moment the two came into contact, the accumulated ice emerged on the outside of Squall's elbows, quickly spread to his hands.

This was an ability that Esther had stolen from "Steel" Maiviti. She entered the battle in less than ten minutes, and she could still use it freely!

Even in this situation, Squall still calmly considered the most appropriate countermeasure. He must keep a distance and not give this woman a chance to freeze his body with ice!

Squall's right knee slammed into Esther's side. In order to deliver the "Logan Claw", her center of gravity could not fall firmly on the ground.

Esther reluctantly retracted her left arm as a buffer, but she was still kicked out. After rolling twice, she stabilized her body and stood up again as soon as she hit the ground.

The delay was enough for Squall. He reached into his arms, grabbed a black iron charm, and whispered the activated ancient Hermetic language:

"Scream!"

The spell was activated, and invisible waves of sound stirred up.

Klein, who had just dealt with "Steel" Maiviti and wanted to come to assist Esther, froze, and blood oozed from the end of his nose.

Esther's figure was not affected at all. She rushed to the side and grabbed the revolver that had just been released.

The black barrel of the gun was pointed at the disbelief in Squall's eyes.

He didn't even have the last chance to escape.

"Bang! Bang!"

On their foreheads and hearts, all three "Steel" men were pronounced dead.
