Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

The door leading to the depths of the black monastery was opened. Anderson, who was slumped in the easy chair, immediately straightened up and looked in that direction warily.

Skylark didn't even have any expectations for the person who came out, because Anderson just talked too much.

It turned out that Anderson's crow's mouth was stable, and the person who came out was not Gehrman Sparrow, but a man wearing a linen robe.

His face was covered with wrinkles, his black hair was tied back, his expression was calm and peaceful, and he walked firmly towards Anderson's position and stopped next to the easy chair.

Then he bowed deeply in the direction of the two of them, raised his right arm respectfully, and turned to Skylark with a slightly fanatical gaze: "As I promised you, I am here to take you out of the dream world."

Esther looked at the man in front of her in bewilderment. Although his appearance was very similar, his temperament was different from that of Leo Master who was trying to avoid pursuit: "Promise?"

"Yes, in order to thank you for taking me away from that dangerous ruins, I will take you out of here."

Anderson had not spoken since this man appeared. He looked warily at the man he had never seen before, and glanced at Skylark from time to time.

Leomaster kept holding his arm up, as if he would never put it down until the skylark landed.

Anderson could tell that the bird didn't know what was going on. Just as he was thinking about countermeasures, the door leading to the outside of the monastery was pushed open.

This time, it was Gehrman Sparrow who stepped into the mural hall.

The first time he saw Leo Master, Klein felt something was wrong. This personality didn't look like the "Black Saint" who was busy killing people, but he had an overly calm and quiet temperament that didn't quite fit the bill. Leo Master's kind personality.

Klein still remembered the fingers that Frank had cut out from the belly of the fish, and the automatic writing of "Help" written in flesh and blood. These were Leo Master's methods of trying to ask for help from the outside world.

But now, he is standing here with a calm expression.

Could it be that someone helped him solve his psychological problem or took him out of his predicament? The two personalities no longer fight or are directly merged?

As Klein's thoughts raced, he shouted: "Norns!"

Esther was no longer in a daze, decisively flapped her wings and flew towards Klein, landing on his shoulder:

"That Mr. Leomaster said he could take me out of here, out of the dream world."

Klein immediately lowered his voice: "Don't believe this. When I saw him, he was in a state of split personality."

Leo Master walked in this direction, a trace of deep red flashed in the depths of his dark eyes: "I was trapped in a ruins at the time, and I was in a very bad state, but now I have received help, and finally gained inner peace and hope. Peace of self.”

"Who helped you?" Esther asked following these words.

A warm smile appeared on Leo Master's old and peaceful face: "That's you."

The moment Esther was in a daze, Klein had already told the answer she had not said: "Zoya?"

"Of course. Only I know the way to get you out of this dream, or maybe you wish to stay here."

These words were almost a threat. Not only Esther, but also Klein was a little shaken. The "Future" is still on its way back, but the skylark on the ship is just a false shell, a clone formed by filling it with light spots.

Klein doesn’t know where Esther’s true body was taken by “Zoya”. If he misses this opportunity...

Worried that the dream might end at any time and it would be difficult to tell Esther about "Zoya", Klein said coldly: "I need to talk to her alone."

Esther nodded repeatedly.

Although he looked dissatisfied, Leomaster did not refuse directly after seeing Skylark's reaction: "Please don't waste too much time."

Klein walked to the other corner of the hall: "Can you control the dream and isolate the sound of our conversation?"

Esther nodded immediately, and two rings lit up from her feather clusters. One fell at Klein's feet, and the other stopped on top of Klein's head.

Although Klein felt that Esther did it on purpose, now was not the time to complain. Seeing Leo Master standing quietly by the door and not coming over, Klein immediately took the time to communicate with Skylark on his shoulder:

"Zoya has controlled your body. The Skylark sleeping in the room is just a clone made of that layer of snakeskin. You are no longer on the Future!"

Esther's eyes widened and she pointed to Leo Master on the other side in a daze: "So, Zoya controls my body to--"

"Yes." Klein closed his eyes and said quickly, "I don't know where your true body is now, but there is a high probability that it is with the 'Black Saint' of the Aurora Society over there. He Maybe you really know a way to leave, but there is a high probability that it will lead to the 'Land Abandoned by God'!"

"You..." Esther couldn't understand why Klein had such a guess.

Although "The Sun" once encountered a strange cycle, at that time the exploration team of Silver City encountered a little boy from the outside world. But why does Klein know so clearly? Had The World ever told him so many details?

Klein gritted his teeth, knowing that he had to face the trouble of the matryoshka doll for a short time: "For the King of Yellow and Black, who is in charge of good luck, the 'world' is not just a person, but a representative of his favored ones."

He didn't directly say, "I am the favored one of The Fool". That would be too shameful, so Klein just gave Esther a clear explanation in a tactful way.

Skylark shrank uneasily: "You, how did you - it turns out that the 'world' is not your 'teacher'! Forget it, now is not the time to discuss this matter. The whereabouts of Skylark in reality are unknown, and my body is still Stay somewhere in that weird sea..."

Esther's eyes gradually became firmer. When things came to a close, she calmed down and comforted Klein: "Think on the bright side, since I'm still here, it means that 'Zoya' can't completely make me disappear. .”

Klein didn't know where Esther's confidence came from: "That sea area and this dreamland hide too many secrets. Even if you want to pursue the matter of 'Dazhbog', staying here is definitely not a good choice. .”

"I know, so I will follow Leomaster to the 'Forsaken Land'." Esther said softly.

Klein pursed his lips and expressed his objection with Hermann-like silence.

Esther's voice on his shoulder became more and more firm: "It's okay, 'Zoya' doesn't seem to have a character that will seek death."

"That's right, I may not have any way to help you. If you are in danger-"

"I will remember to recite that person's 'respected name', which is similar to calling a help hotline." Esther took over the conversation and replied.

It was very strange to say this in Rune language, "hot line", but Klein understood it. Until this moment, Esther was still in the mood to joke, which is really admirable for her big heart.

Such a positive attitude will also bring a sense of stability to others and dilute the heavy atmosphere.

Klein pressed the brim of his hat and nodded: "Be careful."

Esther laughed twice: "Haha, don't worry, I still cherish my life. My spiritual intuition tells me that this matter will not be dangerous."

"Divination is not a panacea. This is a very basic rule of divination." Klein reminded him obliquely.

"I remember your summary, Mr. Fortune Teller, don't worry."

The silver ring was gathered up by the skylark and returned to the top of the head.

Esther spread her wings and flew across the hall, and Leomaster immediately raised his arm to provide Skylark with a place to stay.

Esther proudly shook her head at Anderson next to her, then sat firmly on the right arm of the "Black Saint" and nodded to him.

When Leo Master stepped out of the door, Klein followed him because Leo Master did not say that others were not allowed to follow.

Skylark turned his head and winked at the expressionless Klein.

Anderson, who was left alone in the hall, scratched the back of his head and sat back in his chair.

He crossed one leg and continued to look at the mural above his head, and drew two lines with his fingers:

"There are some secrets. It's better not to explore them as much, otherwise it might make people more unlucky..."

——

After Leomaster walked out of the dark hall, his footsteps suddenly quickened, but he did not deliberately move away from the person a few steps behind him, as if he was just anxious.

However, his arm holding Skylark was quite stable, with almost no shaking even when walking around.

Esther was not as calm as she appeared on the surface. Even if she joked with Klein, it was mostly to comfort him. She was also uneasy in her heart.

Klein followed Leo Master all the way to the area where the "Star Admiral" was.

This was the first time Esther completely left the monastery gate. As Leomaster stood on the boulder, she saw the scene on the other side of the cliff:

Opposite the ravine filled with endless clouds and mist is a very high mountain peak.

It is surrounded by countless palaces and towers, stands like a giant pillar, and is surrounded by crown-like walls. All the buildings are not in line with the size of a human body. Even from a long distance, people will think of the "Land of Giants".

Dusk embraces the outline of this city, and the magnificent buildings seem to be sleepy beasts in ancient times, and their lives are about to decline.

The skylark let out a meaningless chirp.

"That's our direction," Leomaster explained.

Esther had to take two deep breaths to calm down the growing restlessness in her heart: "How are we going to get there?"

"Pray," Leomaster held up the lark respectfully, "and please give me your help."

More and more rings fell off from Skylark's head, and scattered around Leomaster's feet and around him. They were connected to each other but rotated independently, and the light gradually connected.

Leo Master looked at the mountain opposite:

“O Lord who created all;

“You are the All-Knowing and All-Powerful;

“You are the source of all greatness, you are the beginning and the end;

"You are the God of Gods, you are the ruler of the vast star world!"

The sea of ​​clouds that separated the two peaks trembled violently, just like what was shown on the mural.

The water separates, leaving only a gap to welcome pilgrims heading to the other shore.

The light around Skylark gradually spread, and under the soft circular ripples, Leo Master's figure also became blurred.

After the sea of ​​clouds split to form a road, the scene of the city opposite changed. The dusk hanging in the sky was suddenly sucked and pulled towards this deep gap, quickly filling it up.

The orange light path gradually took shape, and Leo Master jumped in without hesitation.

Skylark glanced back at Klein, then flapped his wings and crossed the cliff, flying towards the foothold of the "Black Saint".

Klein did not follow because the dream he saw did not change. Although the sea of ​​clouds parted, there was only an abyss below.

The long dim bridge that Esther saw did not exist in his eyes. He could only see the soft light moving forward a little bit in the distance, becoming more and more hazy.

Klein was not able to watch until the end, because the dark night in the real world finally ended, and everyone on the "Future" left here.

wake up.
