Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 177 The Unlucky Pirate

The next morning, at nine o'clock, Esther boarded the passenger ship returning to Bayam from Simim Island.

A few hours later, the ship entered the port of Bayam, and all the clouds in the sky had dissipated. The sunny weather made the violent rainstorms of the previous few days look like a joke.

There is also an airship patrolling in the sky, and the atmosphere in Bayam seems to be quite tense.

Esther was standing on the side of the ship, and at a glance she saw several Loen soldiers in red uniforms at the dock. They were staring at all the ships entering the port and checking suspicious people from time to time.

Esther was a little lucky that she didn't use any disguise this morning because of laziness. If she was examined, it would be the same fake identity certificate as "Hamel Brook". In this busy Bayam , is a rather inconspicuous tourist.

After all, Esther is not on the reward list and is not wanted.

But some people are not so happy.

When Esther stepped off the gangplank and onto the solid pier, a man dressed as a soldier happened to stop a lady.

Although her face was powdered to make her skin color appear slightly darker, and she wore a black hair condom on her head, Esther still recognized the true identity of this girl at a glance - she had met Esther yesterday. "Pearl" Mary.

With a thought in her mind, Esther walked up to her with a smile, and superimposed a little illusion interference on the girl's face at close range.

Esther greeted her quite warmly on the surface: "Hi Anna, long time no see. I didn't realize you were also on the boat."

Fortunately, Mary didn't have any protective power, and Esther's little move didn't fail.

Then, before the soldier on the opposite side spoke, Esther looked at him in surprise and raised her hand to cover her mouth: "I'm sorry, sir, did Anna commit something? She was just reckless and didn't let you Isn’t it quick?”

The Loen soldier opposite could clearly hear Esther's Backlund-accented Loen language, and his attitude was much gentler than the tough one just now: "It's just a routine check, madam, your friend..."

The moment Esther put down her hand, she suddenly made a weak hold with her backhand, stealing the thoughts of this ordinary soldier. Because she deliberately turned her back to the other soldiers, no one noticed such a small movement.

Of course Mary saw it and glanced at Esther in surprise, but said nothing.

Esther smiled and grabbed Mary's arm: "I hope no suspicious people will show up. It is really unsettling to come to Bayam for a rare vacation. Let's go first, sir. I wish you a happy day."

The soldier, who took several seconds to come to his senses, nodded subconsciously, thinking that the girl was here to strike up a conversation and ask about the situation. The trance in his mind prevented him from taking any further action and letting the harmless-looking blonde and her friends go.

As soon as she got out of the sight of the soldiers, Esther immediately let go of Mary's arm and looked at her funny: "You seem to be very unlucky, madam."

Mary rolled her eyes at Esther angrily: "Who would have thought that Byam would suddenly become like this? What are those lackeys of the Augustus family going crazy about!"

"You should keep your voice down. I won't care if you are targeted again. People from the Church of Storms are also over there. I feel like there are extraordinary people..." Esther pointed to a few figures walking around the corner.

Mary shut up immediately, but still looked annoyed.

The two of them walked like this for several minutes, and Esther had to turn to her in confusion: "Why are you still following me? Don't you have nowhere to go?"

"Ah, aren't you taking me as a hostage?"

Esther looked at her with great disgust: "Your head is much more valuable than the hostage, Miss. Could you please find a place to cool down by yourself?"

Mary suddenly realized: "You are indeed a supporter of Emperor Russell, right? Why do you always say his famous quotes?"

"If you don't leave, I will really exchange you for the bounty." Esther raised her right hand, suddenly thrust it out in the air and closed it. This action made Mary subconsciously take two steps back, but she found that nothing happened. .

Esther was very satisfied with Mary's reaction and walked away with a smile and her hands behind her back.

However, what she didn't expect was that Mary would have the courage to catch up, but before Esther spoke again, Mary threw something very small over her.

Esther quickly caught the thing, then opened her palm and found a bead lying in her palm. Her urge to leave was suppressed, but instead she suddenly felt a little good feeling. She really wanted to hear what Mary had to say. What.

Such an abrupt change made Esther's expression gradually become colder: "So what do you want to say? It's best to hurry up, I'm not interested in talking nonsense to you."

Mary also realized that the extraordinary ability she exerted was noticed by the other party, but she still shamelessly continued: "I, I want to ask your way, is it..."

"No comment." Esther replied indifferently.

"That's right! Our captain has a very important item that is contaminated, so we have always wanted to entrust people with abilities of the 'Stealer' path to help."

Noticing Esther's unkind look, Mary quickly spoke again: "You don't have to board the ship! As long as you agree to do this, I will contact them and even ask the captain to send someone to deliver the things. Our ship is parked in Bay. It won’t take much time to reach the small island dozens of kilometers away from Yam.”

This was the first time Esther heard such a solution: "You mean to let me steal the 'contamination' on that item?"

"Yes, precisely because you can steal ideas, I think with your sequence it should be possible..."

Esther didn't speak. She hesitated for a moment before asking the most important thing: "Where's the reward?"

Mary laughed, feeling particularly confident: "You can choose anything from our captain's collection as a reward, and we will also give you an additional five hundred gold louis, or you can directly choose a reward of three thousand gold louis."

"Intis currency?" Esther calculated in her mind. A gold louis is a gold coin worth twenty fils. Twenty-four fils of gold can be exchanged for one gold pound. According to Mary, it is just over four hundred gold coins. pounds plus something or two thousand five hundred gold pounds.

How could this not make her heart move!

"Yes, they are all real Jin Russell!"

You seem to have a big misunderstanding about me, miss, I am not a fan of Russell! Esther didn't understand Mary's special words.

However, she asked again: "Isn't this matter itself risky?"

"We have corresponding means of storing pollution, and of course we will not transfer this harm to our collaborators." Mary grinned, which made the overly elegant temperament on her face much lighter.

Esther looked at her carefully for two seconds: "You really don't look like a pirate."

"I don't have a choice, this is life. So do you accept it?"

"Okay, but how should I contact you? I don't want to leave my staying place to you, because I still have friends, and there is no need for them to bear the corresponding risks in this matter."

When Esther said this, she was also deliberately reminding Mary that she was not alone, and if she ran into trouble, there would be other helpers.

Of course, Mary also heard the voice of Esther's words. She was afraid that the girl would regret it, so she quickly gave her contact information: "At the cafe at No. 19 Trianavoe Street, just say you want to buy pearl juice when you get there. Remember to bring Show the boss the bead on your hand. I'll go back and contact the captain now. I'll usually be there in the morning."

"Speaking of which, I'm a little curious."

Mary was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Esther's eyes fell on the fingerless white glove on Mary's right hand: "Are you carrying something from the 'Hunter' path?"

"Hey, how did you know?" Mary was very surprised. Her gloves were indeed magical items from the corresponding path. Could it be that the other party was carrying some kind of prop with identification or detection functions?

"Intuition, probably." Esther gestured "please" in a very gentlemanly manner, "It's still the same, please go first."

"Um...ok."

Looking at Mary's back as she turned the corner, Esther continued walking towards Lemon Street.

——

A few minutes later, the "Blue Wind" hotel.

Esther dared to walk on the road so naturally and comfortably, but some people didn't dare.

When she stepped into the room, Esther saw Daniz with a depressed face. He was slumped on the easy chair and almost slid to the floor.

"You look troubled?"

"It's you. How was your trip to Simim Island? It was so boring." Daniz said with a sad expression.

Esther shrugged: "I just went to complete a commission, not to go sightseeing. What do you seem to be worried about?"

Daniz just asked casually, not expecting any answer: "Do you have any good way to improve your strength as soon as possible?"

"Swallowing extraordinary characteristics alive?"

Daniz sat up from his chair, a huge question mark written all over his face: "This kind of joke is unnecessary."

Esther, however, was very serious and her eyes were sincere: "Steal other people's extraordinary characteristics."

"...You're kidding, right?"

"I was serious."

That obviously sounds like a completely crazy thing - swallowing Extraordinary characteristics alive? In this situation, you will have to go crazy even if you don’t die!

But Esther's eyes were too serious, and an inexplicable chill suddenly shot through Daniz's back.

After dozens of seconds of silence, Daniz lazily sat back in his chair and decided to put this matter behind him, never wanting to recall such a theory that would make people feel mentally unsettled.

Esther put the suitcase back into the house, returned to the living room and sat on the armchair next to Daniz, leaning on it lazily as well: "Why do others not believe me when I tell the truth?"

"Anyway, I'm going back to the Golden Dream soon. You'd better tell Herman these crazy things."

"Are you leaving? Leave your bounty behind." Esther replied with a smile.

Daniz's expression obviously froze for a moment.

Esther didn't even need to look to know his reaction: "Look, this is a joke. Congratulations, you finally bid farewell to your life as a hostage."

"Hmph..."

Hearing Daniz's very proud sneer, Esther knocked on the table again and asked him:

"Then have you told Herman about this?"

Daniz stopped talking again.
