Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Esther was not in a hurry to ask what was going on. Judging from the "Hanged Man"'s covert behavior, he was waiting for someone who was not at sea to "ask" about it.

"Justice" spoke very cooperatively and asked "The Hanged Man" what happened.

Next, "The Hanged Man" talked about the experience of the fall of "Poseidon" Kavituva, which reminded Esther quickly of the "small advertisement" she had written for Klein that night, the kind posted on the door of the Church of Storms. .

However, after mentioning that the followers of "Poseidon" could still receive responses, "The Hermit" took the lead in turning his head to look at "The Fool", and soon everyone also moved their gazes.

Esther took a look at "the world".

Klein knows "the world" and knows about this matter, so there is no reason why the "world" as the one favored by "The Fool" is unclear. Could it be that "the world" did something to prevent the disaster that Kavitua wanted to bring?

The person who can replace "Poseidon"...

Esther turned to the direction of the first seat with bright eyes, so the charms she got from Klein might be what the "world" gave to Klein, and they were derived from the power obtained by praying to the "New Poseidon".

Then it all makes sense.

Klein stayed in Byam to observe the follow-up situation to some extent? After all, the followers of "Poseidon" were still in the Rhoad Islands. While he was seeking opportunities to play, he went to the local area to investigate the results.

Could a deity actually take the place of another deity? Or is it because Kavitua himself is a false god?

As everyone was watching, "The Fool" chuckled and said with a leisurely expression: "Kavituwa became a demigod by relying on the relics of the 'natural disaster' Cohinam."

Esther suddenly realized that it seemed that Kavituwa was just a false god. From the dismissive attitude of "The Fool", the original "Poseidon" probably did not reach the level of a true god.

After that, "The World" coughed lightly, attracting everyone who was meditating, and he manifested an image with the help of "The Fool" and asked everyone: "Does any of you know her?"

When Esther was looking at the familiar photo in trance, the "Hermit" spoke first and answered "The World"'s question:

"The red-haired Elaine has the blood of the Intis Solon family and is a run-down noble lady. She worked as a maritime merchant and was later said to be captured by the 'disease girl' Tracy."

Esther raised her hand: "She seems to have escaped from the ship of 'Vice Admiral Disease'. I saw her in Bayam. She even disguised herself as a male at that time, which was a bit different from the photo. It's really not the same." To think she escaped from Tracy."

"World" said hoarsely: "Byam? Is there a specific location?"

Esther recalled the general location of the meeting: "There were many Intis plane trees near the cafe, near the Intis embassy in Bayam. According to what Ms. 'Hermit' said, maybe This Miss Elaine asked people from her family for help."

Esther did not disclose that she had much communication with "Elaine", but since "The World" has frequent communication with Klein, it may have already learned about it. Could it be that the previous bone messenger was the messenger of "the world"? Esther did not rule out this possibility.

"Thank you." "The World" said nothing more.

The "hermit" looked at the "lover" twice, guessing whether she was also a maritime adventurer belonging to a certain force.

At least not any well-known pirate, "The Hermit" remembered the famous wanted notices at sea quite clearly.

Afterwards, "Justice" told about her recent exploration of dreams somewhere and her encounter with the collective subconscious sea of ​​living beings. The psychedelic and strange process made Esther listen very intently.

She has always loved all kinds of stories.

However, "The Hanged Man" and "The Hermit" also gave corresponding warnings, asking "Justice" to try not to continue this kind of exploration behavior to avoid encountering danger.

Esther subconsciously touched her forehead. She was not in a state suitable for dreaming. Every time she entered a dream, inexplicable situations occurred, often affected by higher-level powers.

At least "nightmare" level dreaming is ineffective for her.

"The Fool" did not give any advice on "Justice"'s planned expedition, and Esther could detect a little frustration coming from "Justice".

When the "Moon" and the "Sun" had their own opinions on the Silver Country and Silver City, both of them showed a very naive childishness.

Until she heard the name of the giant queen "Omi Bella", Esther seemed to have a slight buzz in her mind. She subconsciously looked around, but didn't notice anything else.

Is it "Zoya"? What does she want to remind me about this giant queen?

When the dispute was inconclusive, the "hermit" suddenly added some information. As the "harvest goddess", the giant queen Omi Bella was rumored to have died at the end of the second era.

Esther rubbed her eyebrows. This was inconsistent with the fragmented information in her mind. He did not die, but continued into the Third Age, and even...

Can't think about it anymore.

Stopped by her "spiritual intuition", Esther gave up recalling these things and remained silent.

After a while, the communication session was almost over. “The Fool” smiled at everyone and said:

"Guys, see you next week."

"Do your will."

Under the leadership of "Justice", the members of the Tarot Society stood up and saluted one after another, and were sent down to the palace of gray mist by "The Fool".

——

Esther opened her eyes, and the few memories that she accidentally touched on the gray mist were quickly covered up again after she returned to the real world, leaving no much impression at all.

It seemed to be the same when we talked about "Redemption Rose" last time. Could it be related to this organization this time? Esther slapped her forehead, but the "spiritual intuition" in her mind had no further response.

She hesitated for a few seconds and did not write another letter to Klein asking about "Poseidon" Kavituva. After all, she had just written one a few days ago, and writing it again would be a real bombardment of information. You can't use Miss Messenger as a chat software. You have to charge one gold coin each time. This SMS fee is not cheap.

"Hide things that I shouldn't know..."

What makes people even more confused is, is it because "Zoya" puts so much effort into protecting me because I will be of great use in the future? It’s really hard on Him.

Esther couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it. There were more important things at the moment, and the time on the "Four-Leaf Clover" couldn't be wasted.

In addition to learning the language, she thought she could also ask Captain Aaron about divination.

——

"Divination? Have you never learned anything about divination?"

Aaron was very surprised. His "destiny" sequence relied heavily on divination and prophecy. He did not expect to meet a higher-ranking but novice in divination. He stood up from the chart on the desk, spent half a minute taking out a notebook with a badly worn leather outer layer from the drawer, and threw it to Esther casually.

"All my previous notes are in it. I don't have the habit of carrying a pendulum or tarot cards. I usually use a crystal ball or dream divination, or directly look at the corresponding 'revelation'. I don't know if the 'Stealer' has Spirituality bonus in this area, but you may have your own method, you can try it starting with simple gold coins.”

Aaron paid little attention to the matter; he was busy planning a passage from Nahuatl Island to Port Behrens.

"Divination" is already a fairly safe category compared to other various occult rituals. The knowledge in the old notebooks are all very conventional divination methods. Enlightenment is obtained through the interaction between the personal astral body and the spiritual world, and does not involve Something more threatening.

However, Aaron specially reminded Esther: "But you should not pray to any hidden existence or spiritual creature during divination, such as magic mirror divination. If something is attracted, we will have to sink into the sea together."

Esther laughed: "As a captain, don't say such unlucky things. Nothing will happen to the Clover. I have a sense of propriety. Even if I have to practice it, I will only choose unimportant small things and will not involve powerful ones." Existential aspects of exploration.”

She was not so confused that she looked directly at the god-like existence, and the memories left by some people on her were quite profound.

Aaron cleared his throat: "Ahem, I'm just telling the truth."

Esther always felt that this sentence sounded familiar: "I also like to say this when I am looking for excuses to cover up. Thank you, Captain Aaron."

"You can look at that notebook first."

"Then wait for the 'Four Leaf Clover' and then find an opportunity to experiment and practice, right?"

Aaron waved his hand towards Esther: "As long as you understand what I mean."

Esther returned to the cabin with the notes and began to read through them.

"Astral body, spiritual world and spirituality..."

This is the easiest and strongest source of inspiration for divination. Most divination and prophecy are observed by individuals through the spiritual world that overlaps with reality, rather than directly peering into the river of destiny itself.

Esther recalled her discomfort with the spirit world, and could only consider leaving the divination practice until she left the "Four Leaf Clover". The space on the ship was limited. In case of any large-scale changes, "Four Leaf Clover" "Leaf Clover" itself may be affected by her.

However, many of the contents in this notebook did leave some inexplicable feelings for Esther. If she skipped the call to the spirit world and went directly to the perception of the silver river, it might be better for her than conventional Divination is more convenient.

Esther's fingers subconsciously drew circles on the table, and she spent the whole night flipping through Aaron's notes.

When she went to the restaurant for dinner, she heard several sailors on the ship chatting.

The content of their chat moved Esther's heart.

"They are going to spend the night in the village over there today? That's great. I want to go around too."

"Yes, although Mr. Alexander came back with Thompson and the others, he left again with several of his special boxes."

"Probably some kind of research. Mr. Alexander is always like that."

"I heard from Thompson that there was something weird in that village and they were going to observe the situation."

"Is there any danger? It's really hot and uncomfortable around this island. When can we leave..."

"We will be able to go home in February. The harvest from the last exploration will be divided. I am still waiting to go to Lim Province to see my mother."

Esther didn't listen to the rest of the conversation. After she finished the onion soup on her plate, she went to the captain's cabin to ask Aaron for more details.
