Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

For several hours in the afternoon, Mary and Esther were still leisurely relaxing in Behrens Port, but Esther had quickly memorized the places they had walked through, and gradually sketched out a rough map of the Behrens area. Including the two nearby churches of the Church of the Goddess of Night and the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.

The sky was getting dark, and no matter how worried Mary felt, time would not stop for a few more seconds.

And Esther was eager for the red moon to rise. She had already chosen a place, right in the middle of the two churches.

Esther didn't know the official strength of the Beyonders here, and wasn't sure whether they would arrive at the scene in time, but she could at least make them aware of the unusual movement and track the group of guys following them.

Once things get big, just keep the group busy fighting each other.

The streets of Behrens are not properly planned, and most areas give people a chaotic look. Intis-style and Balam-style houses are staggered and crowded together, occasionally mixed with buildings in Loen or Fusac style. Only close to the periphery of the tropical rain forest, more are the residences of local Balam residents.

"Mary, are you ready?"

"There is nothing to prepare at all, let's just hang out."

Esther showed a bright smile: "Yeah, so I'm just asking you. You should be able to keep up, right?"

"No problem. This aspect will be improved after the physical strength is strengthened. If you run and hide quickly, there will be no problem." Mary tightened her shirt and rolled up her cuffs again to ensure that her actions would not be constrained later. "If it weren't for these annoying guys , I can still go and drink one more night today.”

Esther moved her fingers: "How about I steal your idea of ​​drinking..."

"No need!"

——

The men in black robes who were following the two of them were also waiting for the arrival of night, when the crimson moonlight fell, when their special powers would become stronger.

Because the target seemed to be just an ordinary female tourist, these two blood servants who could not be said to be smart followed them casually. When they saw them walking into a rather dark and remote empty street, they thought this was the best opportunity to take action.

The master's instructions were to observe them during the day, find an opportunity to attack them at night, and take the two of them to the agreed place, as long as they were still breathing.

For two people who don't know much about the extraordinary world, this kind of trivial matter is simple in their eyes.

On the other end, someone followed the spirit lurking in the dark. After a brief communication with the weak spirit, he said to the two servants beside him: "You take a detour to the opposite street. This is not something you can participate in. Just keep an eye on the direction they may leave, and let the two heretics go first."

The two blood servants couldn't wait to rush into the alley, but they didn't expect to face the black revolver's muzzle. The brass-haired lady covered her face with a black scarf that she had always tied.

The other party was actually carrying a gun. This was something that the two blood servants did not expect at all. More importantly,——

She is alone! ?

Esther, who climbed onto the top floor of the bungalow next to her, chuckled. Her face was also covered with a silver mask that covered half of her face. She waved her hands without any gloves to the two people below: "Hi!"

When the two of them subconsciously looked up at her, Esther quickly made a grabbing motion towards the two of them, stealing away their thoughts of action.

Mary's revolver's muzzle shifted slightly, and she fired a bullet on each of the two immobile "targets" shoulders. While leaving wounds that hindered their actions, Mary also activated her "arrogance" ability of "bribery", which affected the mental judgment of the two stalkers.

Esther closed her hands and pulled out the "pale bone nail" from her palm. As a layer of light spots flew up from the bone sword, hovering around Esther, the cold breath was no longer restrained. spread unbridled.

Esther could clearly sense the natural spirits lingering nearby, and they all expressed fear and surrender.

This kind of movement should be enough to attract the attention of the nearby churches, including the young man from Balang who controls the hanging in the back.

For those who believe in the "God of Death", this stimulation should be enough.

Esther danced the bone sword in her hand in a circle, drawing an arc. The light spots that had just floated were recalled and covered again, compressing all the cold power back.

At this time, it would be fun to just raise it and shout "Sword of Contract Victory"*, but even if you do this, no one will know the inside story, which is really a pity...

Esther suddenly heard the sound of a flute. The sound was high-pitched, sharp and cold, but the sound of the flute gave off a cold air.

Mary shuddered below and felt goose bumps on her body. This sudden drop in temperature was unusual in the Southern Continent. She immediately shouted to the top: "It's time to go!"

Esther lightly stepped on the bulge of the outer wall from the roof, and landed on the ground at the calculated angle: "Go quickly, it should be the way to channel the spirit!"

But Esther and Mary weren't the only ones in this alley.

The two blood servants suddenly let out crazy howls. They didn't know what stimulation they had. They suddenly tore the cloaks on their bodies with force. The moment the hood fell, Esther and Mary saw each other turn into Scarlet and irrational eyes.

"Run! Go to the right!"

Esther grabbed Mary's arm and had no intention of getting entangled with these two out-of-control blood servants. The person who played the flute must be nearby!

Mary quickly followed Esther's footsteps: "This is different from what we promised. Isn't that the direction of the Night Church!?"

The ground trembled faintly, and just as Mary ran and settled down, a bone-covered arm covered with mud came out and grabbed her ankle tightly.

Esther clasped Mary's shoulders with her backhand to help her stabilize her body, and waved out the "pale bone nail" with her right hand. The moment it came into contact with the white bone arm, the withered bones protruding from the ground suddenly corrupted and dissolved into an illusory The black smoke was completely absorbed by the bone sword.

Mary couldn't help but cursed: "You bastard, you just come here!? I hate this kind of weird extraordinary ability!"

"It doesn't matter. The high level will suppress the low level. It's easy to deal with this level."

The sound of the bone flute suddenly became sharp, and fragmented bones broke out of the ground one after another, quickly forming a leopard composed purely of skeletons. The bone fragments that pieced this body together were old and new, and seemed to be mixed with bones of different species.

It's like using bones as building blocks.

Esther tapped her toes on the ground, raised her "pale bone nails" and jumped out, but the person controlling the leopard seemed to have deliberately increased its speed. As soon as the bone claws kicked the ground, it started to deal with Esther lightly.

Although the speed of the Bone Leopard is always slower than Esther, every time the pure white bone sword brushes against its body, the bones will be broken instantly, allowing the broken bones to be absorbed by the bone sword, and then burrowed underground. Create new bones to complete the missing parts of the body.

This is endless. The other party is probably waiting for a new turning point. They are not eager to solve us but are happy to fight. Are they waiting for help?

Esther frowned. In this case, she had to solve this problem quickly.

A point of light burst out from her hair, and while the darkness was swaying under the crimson moonlight, a round wheel of gentle light appeared around the bone leopard, instantly encircling it in the middle.

Mary's eyes widened. This time she could see much more clearly than last time. Surrounded by a halo, the bone leopard kept repeating the process of attacking and flying backwards.

"Walk."

Even if Esther didn't say anything, Mary knew to follow her footsteps as soon as possible, and their figures quickly blended into the night.

The black-haired young man playing the bone flute also stopped. He squatted on the roof and looked at the night church not far away with a cold gaze. Through the information fed back by his spirit, he knew that other extraordinary beings were approaching quickly. here.

The two blood servants who went crazy and attacked everywhere caused too much noise, and the heretics arrived much earlier than he expected. What on earth are the masters of those blood servants doing? It's so unbearably stupid.

Master "Pale Hand" will definitely like this news. Not only has the relic of God appeared, but it is also in the hands of a clear target.

Although I really want to continue chasing, the opponent has enough deterrence to restrain the spirit, so I can no longer continue to follow. Support comes too slowly...

The young man from Bailang sighed, put away the bone flute in his hand, and soon hid in a simple thatched hut inhabited by a local family. Under the respectful and happy attitude of the host, he reconciled with them. What to say when asked if.

——

Obviously Esther was the first person to come to Port Behrens, but Mary felt that she was incredibly familiar with the streets and alleys here. The two of them even walked through the gardens behind other people's houses several times. .

When she was discovered by the guard guarding the door, Esther grabbed her with her backhand very naturally. Taking advantage of the dazed moment, Esther decisively led Mary forward, crossing the fence and turning into the street on the other side.

From time to time, a point of light would fall from Esther's head, draw an arc of light around the two of them, and then float back, constantly attracting Mary's attention.

"Is this really your first time in Port Behrens?"

After the two of them climbed a tree from one side of the stone wall and landed outside the square on the other side, Mary finally couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, why do you ask this?"

Esther kept reviewing the places she had observed during the day in her mind, and led Mary quickly around to the coast.

"Because you are so skilled! Would you normally think of climbing over the wall from someone's garden? I have had the experience of climbing up the eaves several times."

"The buildings here are not that complicated. It will be more conspicuous to go up to the roof. It is better to go around through the more cluttered streets. We have already gotten rid of those two groups of people."

As the two left the noisy streets, Esther felt a lot more relaxed. She put away the "pale bone nails" and put her gloves back on.

Mary patted Esther on the shoulder: "Even if we walked through it during the day, normal people would not remember all these places in their minds so completely, believe me."

"I always feel that there is something in your words." Esther replied doubtfully.

"You might really have a talent for being a thief..."

Esther grabbed it with her backhand, and what Mary wanted to say immediately disappeared from her head.

Mary's eyes immediately went blank: "Huh? What were we talking about just now?"

"nothing."

*The sword of contract victory, Excalibur, commonly known as the ex curry stick, is the unique skill of King Arthur Saber in the Fate series.

I always feel that Huang and Esther will get along very well in some aspects... I may write a free post-diary extra in the New Year.
