Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

As soon as they stepped into the cabin, a group of sailors focused their attention on Klein and the rather eye-catching skylark on his shoulder.

This was so inconsistent with the temperament of the crazy adventurer Gehrman Sparrow. No one had ever heard of him keeping a pet, let alone a bird that looked so weak.

"Hello everyone."

Then the bird spoke!

"Extraordinary creatures" is a good excuse. The pet of a crazy adventurer cannot be an ordinary bird, which makes the crew of the "Future" feel that things make a lot more sense.

Klein looked around and said in a very arrogant tone: "There are fewer people than I thought."

Cattleya had nothing to shy away from and admitted this point generously. Because the place she was going to was dangerous, she dispersed most of the sailors to other ships and only ensured that the ship could sail normally.

The transaction between "The Hermit" and "The World" was witnessed by "The Fool" at the Tarot Club, and Cattleya was not worried about any malicious actions from the other party.

Even the skylark full of light may be the witness of "The Fool" for this transaction. Could it be that its true body is some kind of divine envoy?

Esther observed Cattleya's peculiar eye color curiously. She had not developed the habit of stealing people's thoughts anytime and anywhere, otherwise Esther would definitely be dumbfounded by Cattleya's ingenuity.

Klein greeted the first mate, "Toxin Expert" Frank Lee, and under the guidance of this enthusiastic breed hybrid technology enthusiast, several people walked up the stairs.

Esther and Klein turned their heads at the same time, their eyes falling on the shadows on the side.

The darkness twisted and shaped, condensing into a complete figure, tall and thin, pale, and looking as if he was weak from a serious illness.

When Frank introduced Klein with a smile, the second officer of the "Future", "The Bloodless" Heath Doyle, was staring at Klein in a daze.

To be more precise, he was staring at the lark squatting on Klein's shoulder.

Esther felt a vaguely familiar extraordinary power: "'Secret Prayer'?"

Frank originally planned to answer, but Heath responded to Skylark's question before he did: "Yes."

This was very inconsistent with his character. Cattleya and Frank showed curiosity at the same time, but Heath just nodded at Klein and then stepped back, trying to retreat into the shadows again.

Esther flew straight up and landed on top of Heath before he completely disappeared into the darkness.

Heath's body immediately froze in place, and Esther blinked at Klein: "It's okay, you go ahead."

Klein wasn't sure what Esther wanted to do, but fellow villagers had a sense of propriety in such matters... Generally speaking.

What made Cattleya and Frank feel relieved was that Heath nodded to them and said it didn't matter. Then they continued to move forward along the corridor, leading Klein to the captain's room and giving "Gehrman Spall" The room arranged by "Luo" is also over there.

Frank couldn't help but ask: "That skylark of yours can not only speak, but it can also distinguish the sequence of extraordinary beings? What is its path?"

"I don't know either." Klein put on a "don't know" attitude, because he really didn't know what path Esther should take, and the combination of "parasite" and "destiny" was inherently strange.

Cattleya pushed up her glasses, becoming more and more suspicious that it was a means of protection provided by "The Fool" to "The World". Although she wanted to take another look, she also knew that she could not clearly see the nature of that extraordinary power. In addition to adding more Unnecessary curiosity will not yield much.

Frank introduced him enthusiastically: "Heath is a 'Rose Bishop'."

Klein instantly had the idea to go back and get Esther back.

"But don't worry, haha, he is not a believer in the 'True Creator', he just has some very special luck. Because of an accident, he was sprinkled with the 'Bishop Rose' potion, and after being penetrated by the power contained in it, he ended up inexplicably Became extraordinary.”

Klein glanced at Cattleya and saw the helplessness on the captain's face. Frank almost poured out all the second officer's information, not treating Klein as an outsider at all.

After the three of them moved away, Heath shrank further into the darkness to ensure that he was fully integrated into it. He put his arms over his head, let the strange skylark jump up, and brought it to his eyes to look at it carefully.

In other words, Heath stared at him with big eyes and small eyes. His face was full of words but he hesitated.

Esther chuckled and asked him: "Do you want to listen to music?"

Heath was stunned for a few seconds, not quite understanding what the bird meant, but since it fell, Heath could feel that his mental state had stabilized.

Out of the peaceful feedback his spiritual intuition gave him, Heath finally nodded: "Okay."

Esther deliberately lowered her voice, and her melodious tone soon lingered around Heath. His long-standing abnormal thirst for flesh and blood and the crazy consciousness of inner division gradually faded away.

Half of Heath's figure was dissolved in the darkness, and only the remaining half stood in the corner, carrying the softly singing skylark. His head drooped little by little, as if he fell into a deep sleep.

It wasn't until the tune quietened down that Heath raised his head again and looked at the little bird, which was only about the size of a fist, with an indescribable look of surprise: "It sounds... nice."

"Thank you for your appreciation." The little bird touched its chest with its wings and bowed gently, its voice full of smiles.

"What's the name of this song?"

"cuckoo."

"Are you a cuckoo?" Heath couldn't help but ask.

Esther laughed helplessly: "Haha, of course not, I am Skylark."

This self-introduction felt even weirder, so Esther spoke again: "You can call me Norns."

"Norns..."

Heath's face was no longer so pale and gloomy, and Skylark's song had a strong soothing effect on him, dispelling most of the negative influence brought by "Rose Bishop". Although Heath didn't understand the rationale, Heath was still grateful.

"I'm going after Hermann. Good night, Mr. Doyle."

"His."

The skylark let out a soft chuckle, spread its wings and flew towards the end of the corridor. Heath watched the shimmering feathers passing above its head and frowned slightly.

But he didn't stay where he was for long. Soon, he disappeared into the shadows of the dark place, and he didn't know where he went.

——

Esther did not pursue the direction of the captain's cabin, nor did she look for Klein, who had been assigned a room. She followed some attractive spiritual guidance and flew to the upper cabin.

Skylark hesitantly circled twice at the door of a house wrapped in spiritual power. The place was filled with traces of "secret" spells, but the other party deliberately left a gap to allow the kind of person who was full of temptation to Esther. The breath spreads out.

Finally, Esther made up her mind and jumped into the open gap of the door. The moment the skylark flew in, the door closed automatically and merged with the wall, leaving only a solid cabin wall with no trace of the passage remaining.

Inside the door, there was only a lady with long chestnut hair on her shoulders. She was wearing a white shirt with lace edges and a dark blue jacket that was slim and simple. She was wearing beige trousers and tall black leather boots. Tucked into boots.

Even though she is beautiful, her elegance and dignity also bring her temperament and pressure. What makes Esther even more afraid is her strength, including her identity.

The aura of the item that made her long for disappeared, but Esther was not in a hurry. She already knew what that thing was, and she also knew that the other party was just setting up a bait to attract her to communicate alone, and had no intention of letting Esther "advance" the reward.

The woman was sitting on a high-backed rattan chair, with a gentle expression in her clear blue eyes. Although she was smiling, it was only a polite expression.

"Good night, Queen of Mystery." Esther flew to the top of another empty chair, grabbed the edge of the chair back and stood still, lowering her head as a greeting.

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon, Hamel. Last month, Aaron wrote a letter saying that you planned to go to Tillis after separating from them. He didn't dare to divine your situation, so he couldn't help me detect you anymore. What happens after that.”

"The Queen of Mystery", perhaps she should be called Bernadette Gustave. Ever since she learned her messenger summoning spell, Esther knew that she was related to "Russell Gustave" The relationship between a senior time traveler.

Bernadette's gaze briefly paused on the skylark's laurel-yellow feathers and bald wingtips: "It seems that you have successfully been promoted to a 'parasite', congratulations."

"It's not pleasant, but it was a near miss, and very... well, thank you very much for the extraordinary item you provided." When she thought of the pair of monocles, Esther's words were not particularly sincere.

She had to admit she was a bit shadowy.

"I didn't expect you to act with the Black Emperor. I thought you would stay on the coast of Jianhai to carry out other tasks."

Esther didn't deny it, just blinked and remained silent.

She didn't quite understand why the other party confused Klein with his teacher "Black Emperor". Could it be that "the world" didn't want her to be exposed, so it directed the outside world's temptations to Gehrman Sparrow?

"I originally thought you would stay on the 'Clover'. Your specialness should be enough to help Aaron achieve his promotion ceremony." Bernadette tapped her fingers on the armrest, without showing any regret in her words. Emotions.

Esther shook her head: "I have to go back to Gehrman. It just so happens that he wants to go to the special sea area to the east, and I want to follow him to see it."

Bernadette nodded: "You were helping Heath stabilize his condition just now. Is this some kind of ability of yours?"

Skylark was quiet for a few seconds and twitched its tail feathers uneasily: "Part of it is ability, and part of it...maybe it's because of the special connection in mysticism. It's just my guess. I won't verify it. It's too risky."

Bernadette raised the corners of her lips and made a joke: "Are you a believer in the true Creator?"

Skylark opened and closed his mouth, just shaking his head helplessly.

Bernadette did not delve into this point: "Well, when we enter that sea area, please help me pay more attention to Hiss's condition. By the way, please help me keep my affairs on this ship a secret."

"Then why did you call me here specifically?" Esther asked doubtfully, "To confirm my status?"

Bernadette's eyes were calm: "To ensure that you will not pose a threat to others."
