Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Klein didn't think any more and immediately opened the satchel, but before he could put his hand in, a chuckle came from inside.

Klein froze at first, and then he recognized the gentle and clear female voice. He shook his satchel twice helplessly: "Musician Hamel, did you send yourself over by courier?"

A skylark with disheveled feathers squeezed its head out from the edge of the satchel. The feathers on its head still exuded a spiritual light. Esther's voice came from the bird's pointed beak:

"Are you surprised!?"

"..." Klein maintained a rather Gehrman-like silence.

Skylark jumped out of the satchel and landed next to the black puppy. It jumped around on the ground and spread out its weak wings with a bone protruding from it: "Look! There are so many parasites I can parasitize now." , even if the Faceless Man doesn’t have the ability to change his height, it doesn’t matter!”

Why are you still remembering this incident and holding such a grudge in a very useless way? Klein no longer deliberately suppressed his inner thoughts and immediately laughed out loud:

"It's quite a surprise. I didn't expect you to come here in this way."

Skylark patted the puppy's paw with its wings. Due to its size, it could only touch this position: "It brought me here! It is very willing to help."

The puppy puffed up its chest and swung its tail proudly. Klein immediately imitated Esther and praised a few words: "Great job."

But before the puppy could pounce on Klein's legs again, its figure suddenly blurred and gradually dissipated into the air.

Skylark smacked his lips: "Except when we signed the contract for the first time, every time I see it, it is like this phantom. It is a very powerful little guy, and it knows how to protect itself."

As soon as Klein stretched out his hand, the skylark flew onto his arm consciously. Klein couldn't help but complain about himself: "Okay, now in addition to being a fortune teller, clown, and magician, I can also work part-time as an animal trainer... "

Skylark blinked, nodded solemnly and said: "The 'One Man' Circus has been established, or do you plan to give it another name?"

Klein was led astray and actually thought about it seriously. After he was promoted to Secret Puppet Master, the circus might have more than one person. This name might not be so appropriate.

He picked up Esther's satchel that had been thrown on the floor and hung it on the coat rack next to the guest room door: "I'm just saying this, I can't let you perform a fire hoop."

"Why not? It's simple. I'm very skilled in flying. I can even act as an owl as a messenger!" Esther turned around twice in the not-so-wide room and landed lightly on the desk.

"This is the special ability of the 'parasite'... But why are your wings bald?"

Esther unfolded the skylark's wings, allowing Klein to look at the white bone joint at close range: "I contained the special items I obtained in my spirit body! This is easier to carry, but it will turn into such a strange appearance. feature."

"Is it the 'pale bone nail' you mentioned? It seems to be related to the power of the undead?"

Of course, Klein remembered the "new weapon" Esther mentioned in the letter. He even had the idea of ​​asking Mr. Azik to check this dangerous item. However, it was Esther's item after all. It was not convenient for him to make the decision. Can give up this idea.

"Yes, it's that bone sword." Skylark shook the upturned feathers on his head. The shimmer of light that fluctuated due to traveling through the spirit world was gradually converged, leaving only a light cinnamon yellow similar to Esther's hair color. .

Klein hesitated: "So you will always maintain this state?"

"Well, wait for me a moment."

The skylark shook its head vigorously, like a drowned dog shaking its fur. Several light spots fell from its down feathers and quickly blended into the house.

Klein clearly sensed that another invisible barrier had spread out inside his spiritual wall. The essence of this layer of protection even communicated with the spiritual world, and he could vaguely feel the extremely high level.

After arranging the isolation means, Skylark made two gestures with its wings in the air: "It is inconvenient for me to move around frequently with my body, and it is easier to hide in the parasitic form. Amon is everywhere! I also saw his clone in Intis."

Klein was shocked: "Did He catch up with you?"

"The clone's condition is not very good. The person who was parasitized is also on the verge of losing control, so it has been solved." Esther told the outcome of the incident in an evasive manner.

Klein couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Extraordinary characteristics have aggregation laws, and you may be more likely to encounter them. You should be cautious."

Esther nodded: "But with Amon's cunning, there will definitely be more clones to search for clues. Meeting you is a good opportunity for me to stay away from Intis, let Amon and others play by themselves. Bar."

Skylark, who could be held with just one slap, jumped forward twice and shook his head at Klein: "I don't have to remain parasitic, but I feel more comfortable in this situation."

Klein also understood a lot about Esther. He cleared his throat in a funny way: "Well, because he can fly?"

Esther laughed dryly: "Haha, but it feels really cool to be able to fly by yourself!"

Klein didn't plan to ask any more questions about this matter. Seeing how much fun the fellow villager was having, he wouldn't pour cold water on her enjoyment of her new abilities:

"Okay, I can't appreciate the happiness of a bird. I have to ask you for that very important thing. Can you still carry out 'stealing' in your current state?"

"Of course! Leave it to me!" Esther replied cheerfully.

Esther didn't notice that when she stayed with Klein, her previously indifferent mood began to turn around, gradually returning to a stable and gentle state.

And Klein was completely unaware of such changes.

He took out the cigarette box with the Eye of All Black sealed: "Will the stolen pollution be transferred? What preparations do you need?"

"I have a unique way of dealing with it, so you don't have to worry about that."

Esther sounded confident, and of course Klein trusted her. He immediately opened the iron cigarette box, revealing the completely black eyeballs without pupils inside, and placed the open cigarette box on the table.

Skylark jumped to the side, stretched out its right wing and flapped it on the cigarette box. The moment the wings were raised, a black smoke exuding filth and malice rolled up from below.

The next movement of Skylark gave Klein no time to react, and even less time to stop it - it decisively stuck its head out, sucked the piece of pollution emitting iron-black light into its mouth, and swallowed it all.

"A-Esther!?"

The skylark's body swayed back and forth twice. Klein quickly reached out and caught the little bird before it completely fell off the edge of the desk.

Chaotic murmurs filled her mind, and grief and hatred washed over Esther's consciousness, but it did not shake her reason at all. However, Esther's control of her body became dull. She listened to the voice with a sinking heart, and vaguely heard A cry of pain.

The voice calling "Zoya" seemed to penetrate the gloomy curtain, looked at her for a moment, and suddenly inserted a name into Esther's mind.

A few clusters of feathers on the skylark's head flickered again, and it took more than ten seconds to regain calm.

The bird, which was lighter than an orange, slowly stood up and burped quietly.

Klein was not sure whether Esther was okay for a moment. Before he could take any further action, the skylark had regained its energy, flapped its wings and flew down to sit on his shoulder.

"Okay, just put that thing away. Is it an extraordinary characteristic that you want to use for promotion?"

The reason Esther asked this was because the black eyeballs had a spicy and sour taste that was constantly attracting her.

"Yes." Klein replied.

The skylark ruffled the feathers on its wings and deliberately looked away: "It smells delicious."

Klein put away the "All Black Eyes" very quickly, and he changed into a very serious tone: "You must not eat extraordinary characteristics indiscriminately, you will go crazy! Even adjacent paths have huge risks! "

Esther stared closely at the iron cigarette box in Klein's hand: "I know, I know, I'm not that impulsive and can restrain myself."

Klein decided to go to the bathroom as soon as possible and sacrifice the "Eye of Total Blackness" to the gray mist as soon as possible. When Skylark stared at the extraordinary characteristics, the longing look in his eyes made him subconsciously feel something bad.

"So what are your plans next? Are you going to stay in Nas?"

Klein walked to the window, and the skylark flew to the closed window and stood on the raised spot of the window edge.

The temperature in the house was still warm because of the burning fireplace, but Esther could feel the chill outside the window. She curiously looked at the large white stone house outside, smacking her lips at the architectural style she had never seen before.

"I don't have any plans," Esther answered Klein's question. "If I have to say it, I really want to go..."

The voice she spoke behind became smaller and smaller, and she gradually became silent for some reason. Klein had no choice but to ask: "Is there a place you really want to go?"

Skylark gently scratched the window with his paws: "Yes, I think there are some answers in that place that can answer my doubts. I want to know more about 'Zoya'."

Klein suddenly had a guess in his mind, where is the place most likely to be related to the history of "Zoya"? There is only a God-forsaken land that contrasts with the history of the Third Age!

However, he has not coordinated the identities of "World" and "Klein", so the information in the Tarot meeting cannot be presented directly, which will easily arouse Esther's suspicion. Even if he knew the place she was referring to, he couldn't just say it out of the blue.

"If it has something to do with 'Zoya', it might be very dangerous. Do you have any plans to go there?"

Esther shook her head slowly and looked at Klein with a slightly confused look: "I don't know how to get to that place. I need more information. Before that, can I follow you?"

"Of course." Klein smiled.

"Hey, the crazy adventurer will directly switch to bird walking." Esther flapped her wings happily.

If it weren't for the stable performance of the clown's ability, Klein might not be able to hold on to his smile: "This is called contrast, and it can also be part of the acting."
