Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

At Aaron's invitation, Esther did not refuse to have lunch with him. On the "Clover", as the captain, Aaron's meal was not much richer than the others, except for two more slices of cheese. and a sausage.

But Aaron will pour himself a glass of good wine from his private collection, and he doesn’t mind sharing half a glass with Esther. Today he’s prescribing a sweet wine with a lower alcohol content.

The purpose of his move was revealed within a few minutes, and Aaron began to find out what Hamel and the "Queen of Mystery" talked about.

Esther hilariously told the part she could - the "Queen of Mysteries" wanted Esther to follow Aaron and others to explore the ruins.

"Does the teacher appreciate you very much?" Aaron glanced at Esther curiously, "It's really surprising, I thought..."

"Do you still think she would attack me and kidnap me?"

"I really thought so, haha." Aaron replied calmly.

But Esther knew in her heart that after this incident, she was truly accepted by the "Clover". The "Mysterious Queen" definitely didn't just come to see her. She should have confirmed the situation of the ship and Esther with her own eyes before she was assured to continue following the "Clover".

After being confirmed by the "Queen of Mystery", Esther no longer has to worry about the trouble caused by the estrangement between her and Aaron, which is a good thing for both parties.

In the afternoon, Esther took the excuse of going back to her room to rest.

As three o'clock approached, she locked the door and emitted a faint light into the room. The "Clover" very thoughtfully erected a green light curtain to wrap the entire room.

Esther lay on the bed, waiting for the moment when her vision would be covered by light.

The soft light in front of my eyes dissipated, and in the grand hall surrounded by gray fog, the Tarot meeting was held on time every Monday afternoon.

Esther looked around the table and immediately noticed the strange figure sitting next to the "magician". He was obviously a new member of the Tarot Society for the first time.

The lady is wearing a black patterned robe, with a short occult-style scepter hanging from her waist, and the symbol displayed on her high-backed chair is like an eye without eyelashes surrounded by stars. Stella could recognize it as the "Hermit" symbol.

The newly added lady has black hair with purple highlights. It is an appearance that Esther has never seen before, which makes her feel a little strange.

"Justice" stood up and saluted, and a brisk greeting sounded:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"

After "The Fool" responded with a smile and a nod, "Justice" did not stop. Instead, he greeted everyone in the order in which they joined the club, and introduced the members of the Tarot Society to the new members for "The Fool".

Esther also had to lament the thoughtfulness of "Justice".

The new member was also looking at the others, but he only stayed on the "lover" for a little longer, and then immediately looked away slightly nervously, and finally met the questioning gaze of "Justice".

"The Hermit." The new woman responded, giving her code name.

Is it a coincidence that this matches the high-backed chair symbol behind her? Or does she know that her path is called this? Ancient Fussac language, is she deliberately using this to conceal her identity? After all, it’s easy to infer a person’s general origin through common language and accent.

Esther's thoughts were spinning rapidly, wondering if there were other forces or organizations behind this lady.

After "Justice" and "Magician" mentioned the Russell diary that could be submitted, and "The Sun" mentioned the legend of the ancient gods, Esther hesitated for a moment and glanced at the peculiar table covered on the long bronze table. Cards, also raised their hands:

"I have a message for you."

"The Fool" chuckled: "Okay."

With His help, everyone embodied what they wanted to convey on paper.

There were only a few lines of writing on the white paper in front of Esther:

"Sequence Zero is the 'blasphemous card' of the 'Wheel of Fortune' path, in the hands of the 'Mysterious Queen'. Russell Gustav may still be alive, and the 'Mysterious Queen' is pursuing his traces. If I She agreed to use this 'blasphemous card' in exchange for helping her find or even rescue Emperor Russell."

Esther has no intention of hiding this matter. If possible, she also wants to seek the help of "The World", the favored one of "The Fool" and the "Black Emperor of Thieves".

——

While "The Fool" was reading "Roselle's Diary" quietly, "Hermit" Cattleya could hardly resist casting her gaze towards the end of the table.

When everyone was made up of blurry figures, it was difficult for the "lover" with an almost solid figure not to attract Cattleya's attention.

Although there are not many features that can be distinguished from the clothes, only the body shape and hair color, the facial features are blurred by the gray mist, even Cattleya's "Peeping Eyes" can hardly see through. However, in Cattleya's eyes, this "lover's" hair was surrounded by a faint light, but when she wanted to observe it, she would quickly feel exhausted.

Although Cattleya was not actually harmed, she had a strange feeling of being "watched" in return. Even if the "lover" was staring at the table and meditating, the invisible gaze that seemed to be warning made Cattleya Ya Xin felt wary.

Compared to others, this "lover" gave Cattleya the highest sense of danger among the Tarot Club members!

The details are unknown, and he speaks in Loen language with a slight Backlund accent. There seemed to be a strange power attached to her hand, which looked very blurry and disturbed.

Mainly the one on top of her head...

Cattleya stopped looking at her "lover", and the "sense of being watched" became even stronger, as if he was deliberately warning her.

On the top of the long bronze table, the suspended light ball was brighter than usual, but for everyone who came to attend the weekly Tarot meeting, such a subtle change was not obvious.

Only "The Fool" glanced upward slightly when he put down the paper in his hand.

——

Klein is still digesting the pieces of information Esther sent - "The Queen of Mystery"! "The Blasphemous Card" of "Wheel of Fortune"! Huang Tao Gustave may still be alive!

But when he heard the name of Sequence Zero, Klein instantly connected it with the "Monster" path. Based on the correlation between this path and destiny, there is probably no existence closer than the "Wheel of Fortune".

Moreover, Esther's meeting with the "Mysterious Queen" who holds this card is probably not just a coincidence, but due to the law of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics, both parties are attracted to each other... just like when I was looking for the messenger. , just like meeting the "Black Emperor" in the spiritual world.

Since Esther had the time to provide this information to The Fool, it meant that she was not in crisis, otherwise she would not have such a leisurely and relaxed attitude now.

Esther is not a person who is good at hiding her emotions. The troubles she encounters are directly reflected on her face. Others cannot see her face covered by the gray fog, but Klein can see it.

Of course, Klein also saw Esther's difficulties. She reported this matter to "The Fool" in the hope that I could ask the Beloved to help her search for relevant information?

Klein wanted to look up to the sky and sigh. The only one he loved from the beginning to the end was himself!

Although he was also very moved by the "blasphemy card", he really couldn't help Esther in this matter.

But is there any connection between the famous "Mysterious Queen" and Senior Huang Tao? Actually looking for news about him...

Klein had many thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't even discuss them with Esther.

"The Fool" leaned back in his chair, smiled at everyone and spread his palms: "Let's get started."

The following trading time gave Cattleya the Hermit more opportunities to observe others:

The blue-haired man "The Hanged Man" wearing the robe of the Church of Storms seems to be connected with pirates, and he is very likely to be a pirate himself. The Church of Storms often sends extraordinary people to hide among real pirates.

The vampire "Moon" wearing the priest's robe of the Earth Mother acquired the inheritance of the blood baron and seemed to be a young vampire seeking advancement.

The noble lady "Justice" purchased the "psychiatrist's" extraordinary properties at a premium of three hundred gold pounds. This fixed price was not cheap. "Justice" is an extraordinary person in this sequence, and is he eager to be promoted to "psychiatrist"?

When "The Sun" asked for the fruit of the Glorious Spirit Pact Tree, Cattleya saw that no one else responded, so she spoke up and said, "I have it. What do you want in exchange for it?"

When "The Sun" mentioned Silver City, Cattleya felt confused for the first time in a Tarot meeting. Considering her knowledge, this was quite rare.

As a member of the "Moss Ascetic Order", the amount of knowledge that the "Hermit" sequence can obtain is far beyond the imagination of other extraordinary people. Because of the existence of the "Hidden Sage" at the top of the sequence, the extraordinary people in this sequence will bear more. The knowledge instilled in many nonsense is generally called "knowledge chasing people".

However, the list of materials that the "sun" materialized contained far more types and numbers of monsters than she had imagined, and there were even weird creatures that Cattleya had never heard of.

Cattleya finally chose to exchange the history of Silver City.

——

Esther looked at the stack of Silver City information in the "Hermit's" hand, and was very curious about what kind of content it contained. If there was a chance to trade with "The Sun", she would also like to learn about the situation in Silver City.

Although the "Land Abandoned by the Gods" is very dangerous, it is also closely related to a lot of history left behind in the Third Age. Maybe it can evoke more memories of "Zoya" and let me know what happened in the past...

After the other members finalized their respective deals, there was no news about Esther seeking to purchase the "Parasite" feature this time.

She was also slightly wary of this "hermit".

If someone really finds relevant clues, the other party will take the initiative to ask if they need it, without Esther having to ask.

"The Hermit" and "The World" have reached the final transaction and communication regarding the eyes of the six-winged gargoyle, and the next step is free communication.

"The Hanged Man" was the first to speak: "A big event has just happened in the Rhoside Islands recently."

event?

Esther's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Klein was unlucky enough to be involved in some incident again?
