Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

When Klein walked into the luxurious suite of "Azure Wind", he saw Daniz sleeping directly on the armchair in the living room, and the room was filled with the smell of alcohol that had not completely dissipated.

Did this guy go out and have a crazy night...

As soon as Klein approached, Daniz suddenly woke up. He was still alert to a certain extent, including the increase in the "Hunter" sequence in this regard.

"Gehrman, it seems that Hamel didn't come back last night, haha..."

Daniz yawned and pointed to Esther's door, which was ajar. She usually kept the door tightly closed when she was in the room.

Klein nodded, a little surprised, but not too worried. After all, Esther was an extraordinary person, and it was no problem to escape with her abilities.

"You didn't run away." Klein said this suddenly as he hung his silk top hat on the coat rack.

The chill behind Daniz immediately emerged again: "Shit! Why should I run!?"

Klein looked at Daniz quietly for a few seconds, and the corners of his mouth gradually curved:

"Four thousand two hundred gold pounds."

Then, under Daniz's frightened eyes, Klein happily walked back to the room to catch up on his sleep.

When Esther returned to "Blue Wind", she felt something strange in the room as soon as she opened the door. Danitz was no longer in the living room, leaving only the faint smell of alcohol that had not completely evaporated.

But she felt that there seemed to be strange fluctuations in Daniz and Klein's room.

Just in case, Esther sat down in another chair and waited patiently for the situation to be over.

Klein and "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina Edwards concluded their discussion in the dream, and the exchange that used Daniz's dream as an intermediary came to an end.

Esther noticed that the strange atmosphere had disappeared and did not arouse any alarm, so she immediately knocked on Daniz's door with confidence.

As for why she didn't bother Klein, of course she would choose the one who talked more to disturb him.

Daniz rubbed his face violently. The confusion in his dream had not dissipated, which made his eyes look a little distracted:

"What do you want to do again...oh, it's you."

"Gehrman is back?"

"Well, why don't you just knock on his door?" Daniz rubbed his temples impatiently, feeling overwhelmed by the conversation between the captain and Hermann in the dream.

Esther looked at his expression and quickly analyzed: "Were you sleeping before? In a dream?"

"Well, he's my captain... You should ask Gehrman for details!"

Esther waved her hand, turned around and went back to the room: "It's okay, he will tell me what he should tell me when the time comes."

Daniz watched blankly as Esther walked back to the room and closed the door, feeling filled with indignation:

So what's the point of calling me out? ? Do you simply not want me to have a good night's sleep?

——

In the evening, before the two of them went out, Esther had to take on the job of pretending to help Daniz again.

"No way, who made someone's makeup skills so bad? Aren't you from Intis?"

Daniz was quite unconvinced: "Not every Intis man can wear makeup! I'm a big pirate! I'm not a pretty boy!"

"Okay, it's my stereotype." Esther admitted this nonchalantly. She used a loose-tipped paintbrush to spread the brown liquid on Danitz's face evenly, and painted all of his exposed skin. Once, quite carefully.

"What are you carving?" Daniz didn't quite understand.

Klein, who understood, didn't bother to explain, but asked Esther another question: "Are you staying?"

"Yes, since you divined for me that the potion that changes eye color is not a big problem and can last for two hours, I will try it tonight to verify the effect."

"Tomorrow morning." Klein remembered Esther saying the time on the day of departure.

Esther spread a little powder on Daniz's face to dye his skin with natural blood color. When Daniz wanted to reach out and scratch his chin, Esther poked him unceremoniously with the end of the paintbrush, which made Daniz curse in a low voice.

Esther responded to Klein's topic with a calm expression:

"Yes, a ticket for the nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Because of the sailing arrangements on Simim Island, I have to come back one day later. Don't worry, I won't be hacked twice in the street, as long as I'm not intercepted on the sea. , I will be very quick if I want to escape."

Danitz suspected what she was implying, and he felt provoked.

Klein nodded slowly. Because he had experienced being scolded by a hotel owner for pretending to be a native, he specifically reminded Esther: "It's more troublesome for locals to dress up."

"Is there such a thing? I understand. Then I don't need to dress up in a localized way. It's more convenient." Esther put down the paintbrush and the iron can filled with syrup, and nodded to Daniz, "Okay. Now, you two can set off. No scratching allowed!"

"Got it!" Daniz immediately put down his hand and followed Klein with an annoyed look on his face. His skin was now as dark as a local's, and his eyebrows and facial features were rougher.

Of course, Klein doesn't have to go to such trouble. The faceless man's ability is much better than putting on makeup.

After the two left "Azure Wind", Esther put away the things on the table, took out the bottle of green liquid, and put two drops into her right eye.

After the slight stinging and cooling sensation passed, she came to the mirror and found that the middle part of her eyes had turned emerald green. Although it was a little darker than that of the young lady, she couldn't tell it at first glance.

Esther slightly opened the side of her eyelids and noticed a faint blood streak emerging.

This dyeing effect seems to be some kind of toxin, but it only produces a strong reaction in the iris part. If the physical fitness of extraordinary people had not improved, ordinary people would probably have sequelae of reduced vision.

In Esther's expectation, tonight should have been peaceful.

She lazily gnawed on the dried fruits she bought from the local vendors, flipped through magazines with local pirate anecdotes, and took a few more glances at the templates with wanted posters.

There was no other discomfort after the discoloration of her right eye. She passed the time leisurely and went over the schedule for the next two days in her mind.

Something cold seemed to be approaching, and Esther couldn't help but frown.

She slowly put down the magazine in her hand, closed her eyes and cleared her mind, allowing herself to calm down and identify the source of this warning sign.

The other party seemed to be getting closer and closer, but the person carrying that strange aura felt too familiar to Esther.

Klein?

Esther stood up, picked up her bag and ran downstairs to the hotel.

She ran all the way in the direction that touched her senses. Her eyes swept across the shadows between the houses and the sewer openings. Everywhere there were snake eyes with vertical pupils hidden in the darkness.

Esther had already seen Klein and Daniz in tandem.

Although Klein was surprised, he nodded to Esther expressionlessly: "Go back."

Esther pulled out the harmonica in her hand: "You guys go ahead."

Klein did not stop, and even increased his speed. Esther's actions always gave him a bad premonition: "Be careful."

Daniz was more straightforward: "There are snakes behind you! What are you waiting for? Let's go back together!"

"You should leave quickly, lest you see something you shouldn't see."

Esther threw down the last warning and heard Daniz's footsteps running wildly to catch up with Klein. When the two were far enough away, the snakes hiding in the dark spit out messages and hissed around her. .

Instead, Esther closed her eyes and sketched a vague shape of light in her mind. She brought the harmonica to her mouth and gently blew out a long and continuous bass.

As the sound waves spread out at the same time, there was also a chaotic perception in her mind, and the chaotic and mixed color blocks separated the material world.

transpose.

The light spots in Esther's hair floated up and swayed around her.

More and more snakes gathered in the direction of the harmonica sound, getting closer to the center of the sound source. Esther took a deep breath and played a chaotic tune.

In the short moment when the sudden resonance occurred, the snakes closest to Esther paused for a moment, allowing her to keenly capture the subtle light, which was integrated into the individual's own power to be pulled by fate. As long as she kept an eye on similar Target--

Capture and devour.

Esther opened her eyes, and the four-pointed star-like circular mark appeared in her eyes again, and one light and one green eye lit up at the same time.

The light spots floating above Esther's head flashed out at the same time, like weak meteors, dragging out the light across the gradually darkening night, and penetrated into the locked snake bodies with clear goals.

Because the target is not a creature with high intelligence or self-awareness, Esther can now completely skip the resonance process and hand over the "absorbing" work directly to the daughter body.

In just a short moment, those light spots that flew out and fell into the shadows everywhere dragged the light back to the top of Esther's head and returned to silence in her hair.

When the snakes hiding in the dark were devoured, their vitality also quickly dissipated.

Esther touched her forehead and felt the feedback from the light spots between the tips of her hair:

For a creature without a powerful spiritual body, the replenishment effect is similar to the feeling of stuffing between teeth. It can only be used to nourish the body for a while, which does not mean much to her.

Far inferior to the Amon clone caught on the island before.

Esther stuffed the harmonica back into her satchel. She widened the range of her perception and threw it into several nearby houses. Fortunately, no one was paying attention here, and Esther moved very quickly.

This alley itself is relatively dark and is not on the main street. After confirming that no one is "watching", Esther used light points to disperse any traces of mysticism that may remain, and then quickly headed towards the "Blue Wind" Rush in the direction.

But by the time she rushed upstairs, the cold aura she felt had dissipated. Esther quickly ran into the room and almost knocked over Daniz, who was standing stupidly in the living room.

"Sorry! I didn't arrest you! How is Hermann?"

Esther locked the front door and looked towards Klein's room, just in time to hear the sound of the lock being opened, and Hermann's stern face appeared at the door.

There is no longer any abnormality in Esther's perception: "Is everything okay?"

Daniz was much more nervous than Esther, and looked at Klein up and down: "You, you just..."

"Solved." Klein replied indifferently.

Esther hesitated for two seconds, then asked: "This matter seems not simple, it involves a very high level of power. Do you seem to have any other plans?"

"Write a flyer for me."

"Flyers?"

Upon hearing such an answer, both Daniz and Esther were stunned for a moment.

"Gehrman" pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses: "Announcement about the ruins of Poseidon and the status of Poseidon."

Esther instantly thought of the previous situation when she teamed up with the Hanged Man: "This flyer of yours...isn't it intended to be sent to the local church?"

"yes."

Esther curiously took out the paper and pen: "Okay, tell me how to write it. I'll try using a different handwriting."

Daniz asked even more confused: "Then who are you going to ask to post it? Won't this attract the attention of the church?"

Esther and Klein's eyes fell on his face at the same time.

Daniz suddenly wanted to go back to the "Golden Dream".
