Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Mary and Thomas exchanged uneasy glances and watched quietly as Aaron sat back down at his desk excitedly.

When the tip of the pen landed on the paper, Aaron's body was still shaking with excitement, but his arm and right hand remained stable under special control, preventing the handwriting from becoming distorted and blurred.

Not long after he started his letter, there was a knock on the captain's cabin door.

"Aaron, take out the item that needs to be decontaminated." As soon as Alexander walked in, he noticed that Aaron's expression was very strange, and subconsciously looked at Mary and Thomas, "Aaron was in a special state again just now. ?”

Mary curled her lips: "Yes, it seems that she was saved by the princess?"

Aaron ignored them, but turned to the direction of the door, looked at the guest who had not entered the captain's room, and showed a sincere smile from the heart: "Miss Hamel, thank you for your assistance just now."

"Me?" Esther was very confused, "I didn't do anything just now?"

"Of course that power does not come from the 'Clover', but from you. Thanks to you, my current state can be stable... I wonder which magical item you chose?"

Esther raised her hand, the patterns on her hand surged, her palms moved together, and she pulled the bone sword out of her palms.

The moment the bone sword appeared, Mary and Thomas entered a state of stress. Mary raised the muzzle of the revolver in her hand and looked at Esther nervously and worriedly.

Thomas directly took out a scroll from his arms, waiting for Aaron to give the order to attack: "Alexander, stay away from her!"

Alexander patted his heart and replied in Intis: "I used that thing for divination, and there is nothing wrong with her."

Aaron looked at Esther and the bone sword in her hand. After he nodded, Esther melted the bone sword into her hands again.

Aaron thought thoughtfully: "Can you control it?"

"Well, just think that I have a special constitution."

Thomas shook his head repeatedly: "Such a powerful force is not something ordinary people can compete with!"

He almost said "You have a big problem" directly.

Esther leaned against the door frame and looked at Thomas helplessly: "The contract I made with Mr. Alexander is still there, and the oaths made at that time have not been broken by the power contained in this bone sword. This should explain a lot of problems. ?”

Instead, Aaron thought of a possibility: "Miss Hamel, are you a favored one by God?"

Esther rubbed her right eyebrow in distress: "You can say the same."

"If there is the blessing of the true god's power, it is normal for the bone sword to be sealed. Fusion of the host's bones is also part of its instinct," Aaron walked to the closet, took out one from the keys on his waist, and began Unlocking a layer-sealed safe, "The favored person may suppress it through the gift of the gods."

Thomas's gloomy gaze flickered between the two of them: "Doesn't that mean she is more dangerous?"

"No, you won't hurt the 'Clover', right?"

Before Esther could answer Aaron's rhetorical question, Alexander suddenly said: "The 'Clover' just absorbed her blood."

Aaron showed a look of sudden realization: "That's it! No wonder the princess would..."

He broke off mid-sentence, making Thomas, who was full of doubts, feel angry. Ever since Hamel boarded the ship, Aaron's state was even weirder than usual. If it weren't for the fear that Hamel was still in the house, Thomas would Horse is likely to continue the previous argument.

"Miss Hamel, come here."

As Aaron said this, he took out a small bronze box, which was bigger than a palm. He raised his head and glanced at Alexander.

Alexander understood what Aaron meant. After Esther completely stepped into the house, Alexander walked to the crystal ball inlaid on the wall and patted it.

A green light curtain suddenly emerged from the wall, isolating everyone in the captain's cabin.

"It's necessary, please forgive me." Alexander said politely.

Esther glanced at Alexander strangely: "You could have done the same in the collection room just now, right? Wouldn't it be better than suffering the negative effects of the necklace?"

"Because I'm also curious about what will happen if you take that bone sword." Alexander showed no guilt at all on the surface, but the reproachful looks in Mary and Thomas's eyes could tell a lot.

He was just too curious, so he allowed Esther to have contact with the bone sword and "respected her wishes."

At this time, Aaron also lifted up the bronze box, revealing the rusty iron key inside. The key itself was not big, only half a palm in length, but it looked very heavy.

Esther looked at the contents in the box and felt a salty and spicy aroma coming from it. This was a bit beyond her expectation. She originally thought that what attracted Aaron so much would be a more powerful and precious magical item: "A key?"

"Yes, but we can't use it because of the remaining contamination on it."

"Which era does the ruins it corresponds to belong to?"

Aaron was very surprised: "You are from the Fourth Era, are you also interested in studying the past era?"

Esther shook her head a little disappointedly: "If it were a longer mythical era, I would request to follow you to explore. The Fourth Era... let's forget it."

After Aaron put the box on the table, Alexander took out an octahedral crystal with smooth and clear facets from his arms. There was a faint wisp of white mist flowing in the crystal. Alexander placed the crystal next to the box, and after putting on the black gloves slowly and methodically, he politely spread his palms:

"I'm sorry to bother you, just transfer the stolen pollution to this."

Esther moved the palm of her right hand: "But I have never tried this kind of thing before, so I can't guarantee that it will meet your requirements."

Aaron suddenly laughed: "Don't worry about this, I have always been very lucky."

Esther could see the suppressed enthusiasm in his eyes, which made her look away and take two steps forward. She stood in front of the table, opened her palm towards the key, and shook it gently.

She seemed to have caught something, an illusion between concept and reality. Esther clenched her fists and felt the irresistible aroma coming from her fingers.

She looked at her right hand and blinked, and then made a move that made the other people's eyes almost pop out——

Esther raised her hand to her mouth and then released her palm.

A clear swallowing sound sounded in the captain's cabin.

This time, everyone, including Aaron, took two steps back neatly, trying to stay away from the woman who had turned from "suspicious" to "scary".

Esther covered her mouth. She could smell the salty and spicy taste, but it tasted like old, bitter ink, which made Esther's face darken. This was so different from the urgent desire that she felt so uncomfortable in her stomach that she felt like retching.

The psychological gap is also very big, which is completely opposite to the smell of smelly food and the delicious taste of food!

The moment she swallowed the strange object, Esther seemed to hear some kind of call, repeating "Honakis" and "Fregera", but the babble disappeared in an instant.

Esther kept covering her mouth and looked at Aaron: "Excuse me, do you have anything to drink here? I'm a little sick."

Aaron opened the secret compartment under the table: "But I only have wine here. Do you want cherry schnapps or apple brandy? Or something simple..."

Thomas felt helpless as if he had lost control of his emotions: "It must be simpler! Shut up! Give her a whole bottle of the most ordinary Bai Danxia!"

"My bottles of Bai Danxia are not ordinary!"

Aaron retorted, uncorked a bottle of sweet white wine, and thrust the bottle into Esther's hand.

Esther really didn't care, as long as it was anything to drink for her now, she raised her head to the mouth of the bottle and swallowed, and it took a long time to dilute the taste that made her sick.

It always felt like she had done something similar before... Esther wiped away the wine dripping from her mouth and smacked her lips. Her face gradually turned crimson, but her eyes were quite calm and clear.

The alcoholic aftertaste is full of sweet and sour fruity aroma, with apple and citrus flavors clearly visible, and the taste is slightly sticky.

It seems pretty delicious? Esther thought so after exhaling a comfortable breath.

The enthusiasm in Aaron's eyes finally disappeared, replaced by the heartache of seeing others "waste", especially when this was his treasure.

Alexander looked Esther up and down, guarding against possible changes in her: "Are you really okay?"

"No."

"It won't get out of control or..."

Esther knew what Alexander meant. He was worried that after Esther died suddenly, the pollution and the bone sword would escape control, and the "Clover" would be in disaster.

Esther shook the remaining half bottle of wine in her hand: "It's okay, I'm really okay."

"...It's okay." Aaron looked a little depressed, because Esther had no intention of returning the remaining Danxia Blanc to him, "Mary, please send our guests back to the house."

Alexander walked to the green crystal ball again, patted it twice, and the light curtains on all sides of the wall disappeared. After the two ladies left, Aaron closed the box containing the keys, sat in a chair with a dejected expression, and rubbed his brows vigorously, as if he wanted to squeeze water out of his head.

"At least we have some good news..."

"There are two." Thomas walked to the table and put the key box back into the cupboard for Aaron. "Being able to get rid of that bone sword will do more good than harm for us. Just like what the Great Emperor said , 'Losing a horse is not necessarily a bad thing for the elderly, it can also be a good thing.'"

Aaron picked up the pen again and continued writing the previous letter: "I hope the teacher won't be angry about this."

"No, that person must have known that you only have a brain the size of a pea."* Thomas replied indifferently.

"That's why the teacher sent you to my ship, isn't it? You take four hundred gold louis from my safe and give it to Miss Hamel."

Alexander had to remind Aaron: "The payment we agreed on is five hundred gold louis and ten thousand ferkin."

Aaron sneered twice: "I always have to take back the money for the wine, it's private wine! I already gave her a very fair price!"

*There is also the metaphor of pumpkin seeds and chickpeas, which comes from the typical misunderstanding that intelligence and brains are directly proportional, but it is very interesting.
