Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

After dragging Daniz and asking him to post a small advertisement on the door of the local Church of the Storm church, Klein returned to the "Azure Wind" and saw a serious-looking Esther.

Esther's green eyes had returned to their original appearance: "I've thought about it, I still have to go to Simim."

"There are risks." Klein said simply and clearly.

Esther knew what he meant. Because of the relationship between those "archaeologists" on Simim Island, official Beyonders might be attracted to the island, and the security of these two days would be difficult to guarantee.

"But I think I'd better go there. Don't worry, it won't be anything serious. My instincts are pretty calm. I'll stay in Simim for one more day and return the day after tomorrow."

Because there will be a tarot meeting tomorrow afternoon, Esther is worried about catching the nine o'clock return passenger ship, so she can only postpone the return voyage for one day.

"I understand." Klein didn't say anything more.

The next morning, Esther got up early to dress up.

The newly purchased pale white dress had a full lace neckline and a fluffy skirt, but it was quickly blocked by Esther under her cloak. She put on softer light makeup, put on her red hair, and used a straw hat to gather the ends of her hair at the back so that the brim of the hat covered most of her face, with only a few red hair remaining on her temples.

Before leaving the house, Esther dropped the medicine into her eyes. After a few seconds, she wrapped herself in a black robe and hurried to the dock area.

There are dark clouds gathering in the sky, but they are not that dense, they are just hidden.

It's best not to have any surprises.

Esther glanced at the gloomy sky, hoping that the heavy rain would not fall before the passenger ship left the port smoothly.

The sea was still calm, but seemed darker than usual.

When a gust of wind blew over, Esther deliberately raised her head, letting her straw hat blow over. Her soft red hair spread out, revealing a pair of alert and clear green eyes.

Coupled with the slight mental disturbance superimposed on Esther's face, her appearance was 80% to 90% similar to that of the lady in the photo, which made the two men squatting near the vendors on the pier look stern.

Esther bent over and picked up the straw hat, looked around alertly and then put it on her head. She hurried to the boarding pier and followed a few other passengers on the boat to Simim.

Fortunately, the first passenger ship to Simim Island at nine o'clock has not been canceled yet, and the voyage at ten o'clock has been canceled due to weather.

This scene made the two men see clearly, and they quickly left the dock to report the news.

Another person guarding the unloading area also noticed this scene and quickly left the dock area.

Only ten minutes after Esther's passenger ship left the port, a torrential downpour suddenly fell crazily on Bayam.

The cascading dark clouds were so dark that they were about to fall, and the rain was woven into a curtain. Even the sea water was swaying and rising up, as if it wanted to wash up on the shore and submerge the place.

But these have nothing to do with Esther successfully completing the commission.

Because of the strong wind and waves, the ship traveled very fast and quickly moved away from the area where the showers appeared in Bayam as if running away. Esther carried her suitcase and sat in the shaking cabin. She always felt that this unexpected change was strange.

But her goal had been achieved. She pressed the straw hat tightly on her head and looked leisurely at the sky where raindrops continued to fall.

Judging from the weather, this ship should not have traveled originally, but the captain seemed quite anxious. Did someone say hello?

Esther rubbed her ferry ticket in her hands, wondering if the red-haired lady had asked someone to talk to her. After all, she had a special network behind her.

Sauron family...

Esther is still very curious about how much of "Zoya's" past the evil spirit named "Medici" knows, but she has already left Backlund so far away, and there is probably no chance of running into her again.

After several hours of sailing, the passenger ship arrived at the port of Simim Island.

Esther quickly found a slightly tidier hotel. After seeing that her appearance was very different from that of the locals, the boss diligently helped her check in without even asking for any identification.

It only costs one sole a night here, which is much cheaper than a hotel of the same condition in Bayam, and the room has a slight dampness.

Hotels closer to the port often find it difficult to avoid this.

There is also a fireplace in the house. Although Esther is not very afraid of the cold, and the lowest temperature in winter in the Rhoad Islands is about ten degrees, she still lit the fireplace because she likes to watch the burning flames.

The firelight reflected on her face, leaving half a shadow.

——

Compared to the "Punishment Agent" on Bayam and the official navy's search for "Archaeologist" Laticia and her party, the situation here in Simim can be said to be calm. Except for a day of rain, there was no major attack. Dramatic impact.

It wasn't until the next morning that the continuous rain stopped and the sky gradually cleared up.

Esther put away her red hair cover, put on men's clothing, and darkened her face slightly to make herself look like a mixed race rather than a conspicuous outsider.

Now that she's here, she doesn't mind wandering around the island, at least that's what she thought at first.

Until she saw a few punishers who were obviously affiliated with the Church of Storms. When Esther passed by in a low-key manner, she could feel the sea breeze-like aura from them. This made her subconsciously alert and moved away from these people as soon as possible. Turn into the small alley.

A silver mask appeared on Esther's face, and she walked around to the back of the building, trying to hide in the lush bushes.

However, what surprised Esther was that there were already two people squatting here.

They were originally wary of each other, but after hearing footsteps approaching, they quickly confronted the third person who suddenly appeared here and showed their weapons.

Among them, the man with curly brown hair, wearing a mask and a hood, had a graceful figure and held a frost spear in his right hand. Esther could recognize it at a glance as the power of the witch path, but this man gave Esther's feeling does not have the charm of a witch, and she most likely has mastered some kind of sealed object.

Another lady with brass-colored hair tied into a thin ponytail is wrapped in a black headscarf. She is in her twenties. Although she looks a bit elegant, her inverted eyebrows are quite heroic, and her cheeks have the traces of someone who has been running on the sea all year round. The rough marks left behind were exposed to light bronze skin.

The lady is holding a small revolver in her left hand, but her right hand wearing a white glove is pressed against her collar. There were many beads strung on independent threads on her neckline, which were very fancy. There were two colorful beads scattered on the ground. She didn't know what happened before.

Their eyes met, quite awkwardly.

Esther suddenly felt that turning into this alley was a very wrong choice.

"If you guys mind, I can actually go out..."

"Squat down!"

The two of them shouted angrily at Esther at the same time.

There is a punisher outside, who dares to let her out? What if this person brings the punisher into even greater trouble?

Only then did Esther realize that the person holding the frost spear was not a woman. When she spoke, it was obviously a deeper and more magnetic male voice. Then why does "his" figure look so female?

Esther squatted helplessly in the bushes between the two of them, with the frost spear on the left and the muzzle of the revolver on the right. She felt like the piece of cheese sandwiched in the sandwich.

"Actually, I'm also here to hide from the Extraordinaries of the Church. As a wild Extraordinary, I don't want to cause trouble. Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to hide for a while and be nice?"

"Are you a pirate too?" The lady with beads on her neckline couldn't help but ask.

Esther sighed inwardly, why did she add the word "also"? Isn't this simply exposing the fact that she has a close relationship with the pirates?

However, Esther still replied sincerely: "I haven't been to the sea much. I can only be called an adventurer."

The lithe man snorted and said nothing.

Esther couldn't help but glance at him again. He noticed the strange meaning in Esther's eyes. The deep black eyes under the mask glared at her viciously, and lowered his voice to threaten Esther:

"What are you looking at? Don't think that I dare not fight against you!"

Esther immediately looked away: "Sir, you have a really good figure."

The lady on the other side couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.

The face of this man under the mask must be quite gloomy: "You——"

Esther suddenly raised her index finger to her lips: "Shh, they are approaching the entrance of the alley."

The three people immediately fell silent. In the wind, there was a vague sound of curses and complaints from the punishers. Fortunately, they did not chase after them and quickly went to the next street to continue the search.

However, the three of them still squatted behind the bushes in silence for a while.

Then they fell into an even more embarrassing situation - no one of the other two people dared to leave first for fear of being followed.

Esther was waiting for them to leave first, and then she could use light points to clear away the traces left here to prevent being searched using occult methods.

In the end, Esther couldn't bear it anymore. She felt that this was a waste of time: "How long do you two... plan to stay here?"

"If you want to leave, get out of here!" The man carrying the "Witch" Pathway Sealed Artifact shouted in a low voice. His words were full of majesty, but he also seemed quite disgusted with Esther.

The lady on the other side chuckled lightly, her voice full of ridicule.

Esther also glanced at her: "I recognize you, 'Yanzhu' Mary, one thousand four hundred gold pounds."

The lady raised the hole of the revolver a little higher, facing Esther's head: "I have changed my mind, why don't you leave, Miss Adventurer."

"Shit, trouble comes from the mouth..." Esther muttered quietly.

The lady raised her lips and said, "Didn't you see that you are still a reader of Emperor Russell?"

"That's right." Esther's expression was very complicated.

Why did Russell say everything? Leave no room for future generations!

The man on the other side finally reached the limit of his patience: "Confronting you here is a waste of life! If you don't leave, I will, damn it!"

"Goodbye, preferably never again," the lady replied coldly.

Esther smiled and waved at the man: "Is it because your spiritual intuition gave you a dangerous warning?"

The man's undulating figure visibly stiffened, and then he slowly walked backwards out of the bushes, and soon he ran away from here.

He sprinted very fast, and even moved his steps left and right a few times, obviously to guard against the revolver of the brass-haired lady on the other side.

"A complete idiot."

the woman commented disdainfully.

She had no intention of shooting at all. The sound of gunfire would attract the attention of the group of Church of Storms Extraordinaries. They were not that far away from here, so she still had some sense.

"We are the only ones left." Esther turned her head and looked at the lady with clear eyes.

"You...you go first."

Looking at the black muzzle of the gun, Esther helplessly raised her hands and stretched them into the air: "Okay, okay, then let me first——"

She closed her palms suddenly.

When "Pornographic Pearl" Mary came to her senses, the person pointed at by the revolver suddenly became herself.

Esther blinked innocently: "I'll ask you to leave here first."
