Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

A few days later, it was almost dusk.

The "Clover" moves along the safe channel at the edge of the Raging Sea. It will be able to escape from this dangerous sea area tomorrow, and will successfully arrive at the Port of Behrens in West Balam in two days.

But bad luck seemed to have caught up with this supposedly lucky ship.

Esther and Mary were practicing their Tutanese pronunciation with Alexander when the low siren sounded. Esther learned the language much faster than Mary. She was quite familiar with the ancient Fusac language, which gave her more advantages in converting similar word formations.

The moment she heard the siren, Mary couldn't wait to jump up from her chair and rushed out the door. Alexander also raised his head at Esther and motioned for her to follow him out.

As for Alexander himself, he walked onto the deck after a minute, carrying three boxes in his hands, and was ready to meet the enemy.

Esther was already standing next to Aaron, who was holding a telescope in his hand and observing the movement in the distance.

Alexander went to Aaron and put down the box, and began to set up some kind of mechanical creation on the deck that no one could understand: "What's going on?"

Aaron adjusted the telescope and tried to see the unknown ship clearly: "Intuitively, I knew it was a pirate ship. There is only one, a large pirate ship. Let me take a look. The other party seems to be approaching. That is... holy crap! Yes. 'The Death'! It's the ship of the 'Immortal King' Agaritu!"

Thomas didn't hesitate, turned and shouted to everyone: "Fill the sails! Burn the steam engine to the maximum! Go at full speed! Go at full speed!"

Alexander's hands continued to move, but his face became paler: "That is a very large ship. Even if it is a sloop, we may not be able to escape!"

Esther frowned and rubbed her hands subconsciously. The feather-like patterns on her hands turned dark green again: "The 'Death Number' is very special?"

There was a trace of fear on Mary's face. Compared to the calmness of the others, she did not deliberately hide her true thoughts: "That is an extremely famous ghost ship, and the most powerful thing driving it is the extraordinary power it contains. You should have heard of Agaritu's style. He is extremely bloodthirsty and will arbitrarily attack any people and ships he encounters. Only the other three of the 'Four Kings' are still alive after becoming enemies with them."

Esther nodded, and couldn't help but feel her heart becoming a little heavier.

But the next development made everyone even more uneasy. In Aaron's telescope, the other party also filled the sails and sailed towards the direction of the "Clover" quite "enthusiastically".

Now, even without a telescope, others can clearly see the black tombstone on the sail. It is like a moon wheel with its head and tail tilted up. The entire hull is also painted like a black tombstone, with three rows of cannons scattered on the side of the ship.

Compared with the "Song of Death", the "Four-Leaf Clover" is as petite as a toy ship and will never be able to withstand a single bombardment from the opponent.

However, even if the "Four-leaf Clover" increased its speed to the extreme, the huge "Sad Death" was constantly shortening the distance between the two, and its outline became increasingly clear in everyone's sight.

It seemed to have targeted the "Four Leaf Clover" and killed the ship that had started to run away from a long distance away.

Esther took a deep breath, knowing that if she continued like this she would only be chased closer: "Captain Aaron, don't we use that magical item that can travel through the spirit world?"

Of course, Aaron also saw the speed of the "Suite" and knew that continuing like this was not an option: "The risk is too great. Tomorrow night is the full moon, and the side effects of that extraordinary item will cause the person who uses it to die directly!"

Alexander's hand movements suddenly stopped: "I can try."

"Don't even think about it!" Aaron rejected his proposal.

Alexander's eyes under his thick lenses were very indifferent and so calm that it made people feel chilling: "Of course a boatload of people is more important than one person."

Esther patted Aaron on the shoulder: "Let me try? Don't worry, I won't run away with it."

Alexander glanced at her disapprovingly. The gun barrel in his hand was finally set up. He gestured to the other two sailors to come over and look at the gun barrel, ready to fire at any time. He reached out and pulled Aaron off and hung it on his waist. key to the collection room.

Aaron didn't stop his movement, but his eyebrows knitted together tightly.

Alexander turned and walked towards the cabin, and Esther quickly chased after him. Aaron gritted his teeth and shouted at the two of them: "Hamel! Then let Hamel come!"

Alexander walked quickly to the location of the collection room, Esther followed closely beside him: "Let me try, Mr. Alexander, I can't let you risk your life."

"This has nothing to do with you. You are a guest of the Clover."

"Now that I'm on this ship, I'm a member of this ship! The people on this ship are all in a community of destiny. Since I can withstand that nonsense, I can't just watch you risk your life. !”

Alexander's steps didn't stop, and he showed a rare look of surprise. His face became more gloomy, but he did not refute Esther's words.

It wasn't until he inserted the key into the hole that Alexander spoke calmly and began to tell Esther the procedure for using the necklace:

"After putting it on, place your hands on the middle gemstone, rub it three times clockwise, and then imagine in your mind how big a crack you want to open in the spiritual world, and spread your hands to both sides. Imagine its position. Stay farther away and give the Clover enough preparation time.

"Once you put the necklace on, you're going to be dealing with that constant murmuring, and you'd better hold it until we go to the bow and put it around your neck."

Esther nodded vigorously. The method of use was very simple, but the negative effects were too difficult to avoid.

The difference between Esther and others is that there is a very high-level "Zoya" hiding in her mind. Esther will not lose control when faced with babble, but can clearly capture the babble. meaning.

Alexander's voice was a little vague: "Just think about it, you don't have to get involved in this matter, and I won't necessarily die from gibbering."

"Please allow a young man to be willful."

"Just because you are a young man..."

Alexander shook his head, opened the cover of the irregular gemstone necklace, and watched Esther reach out to hold it up.

She smelled a strange fragrance again.

There is nothing special about the touch of this gemstone necklace. It is just that the temperature is higher. It feels warm in the hand, without the coldness that the jewelry material should have.

Esther followed Alexander, and the two of them walked all the way to the bow of the ship. Aaron was already waiting here. Thomas was still at the stern of the ship and continued to observe the situation of the "Death", instructing other sailors to slow down the ship and give it to the ship. The "Clover" left enough time to cross the rift in the spiritual world.

Aaron looked at the necklace in Esther's hand: "We only have five minutes. In about five minutes, the 'Clover' may enter the farthest range of the 'Death'."

He didn't say anything else, but his wandering eyes revealed Aaron's inner nervousness.

Alexander raised his palm toward the front of the ship: "Ladies first."

Esther smiled and replied: "What an inappropriate joke."

Aaron urged. "Before I change my decision, my spiritual intuition firmly believes that this is better, so hurry up."

Esther no longer hesitated, letting the necklace pass through her head and fall on her neck.

She opened her eyes wide in surprise, because what she heard was not gibbering, but a painful and weak call, desperate and painful, pleading over and over again, and even repeated it in various languages.

But now was not the time to ignore this cry for help. Esther ignored the sad and familiar voice. She was sure that she had heard similar voices somewhere before.

Esther placed her right hand on the largest gemstone in the middle of the necklace and turned it clockwise three times. She raised her gaze and imagined erecting a wide enough arch on the sea in front of her, then she closed her hands and slowly walked towards Pull the sides apart.

"Let's go." Esther said softly to the "Clover".

At the moment when the spiritual world merged with reality, a shadow of intertwined color blocks appeared where Esther was positioned, and a strong wind blew up from it. The "Four-Leaf Clover" lightly rode on a wave that was stirred up, and a green light curtain floated on the ship. The body spread out and condensed into a circle of huge emerald green bubbles.

The ship slammed into the arch-like channel of the spirit world, trying hard to follow Esther's orders.

In the violent shaking, the "Four-leaf Clover" rushed into the spiritual world. Everyone it carried felt varying degrees of oppression. The spiritual world passage formed by the necklace was not stable, but it was still endured by ordinary people. within the range.

As good luck remained, after the "Clover" passed through the arch, the gap in the spiritual world that was forcibly opened behind the ship suddenly collapsed, cutting off a sea current carrying foam.

Having lost its prey, the "Sad Death" still approached the sea area with a lot of foam left, spinning around in vain for a while. However, because the "Four-leaf Clover" itself had anti-divination characteristics, it was unable to follow it. The spiritual passage with unknown destination continues to be traced.

This huge black coffin-like ship raised its sails and headed toward the east of the Raging Sea, giving up tracking the force that attracted it before.

On the other side, the "Clover" that escaped the disaster was not in good condition.

Esther closed her eyes after entering the rift in the spirit world. She felt the light in her eyes leaking out uncontrollably, and was worried about affecting Alexander and Aaron behind her.

The incessant cries for help were drowned out by an even stronger buzz. The pattern of feathers and silver threads spread quickly from her hands to her arms and body. White bone fragments condensed on the outside of her arms, blocking the twists below. Deformed cracks.

Those wound-like cracks are not substance, but a dislocation between reality and reality. Without the resistance of these bone fragments, Esther knew that she would most likely "disintegrate" under the guidance of the spirit world and dissipate without shedding a drop of blood. it's here.

Just like a file that needs to be formatted, after the abnormality is cleared, it will lose its autonomy and be forcibly integrated into a part of the spiritual world.

Esther finally understood where her "spiritual intuition" resistance to the spiritual world came from.

She leaned against the railing and raised her head from the forefront of the turbulent Clover.

Ahead is the end of the spiritual world passage.
