Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

When Vika listened to the "monster" potion formula materials reported by the other party, he was worried and doubtful, but more importantly, he was dazed by the good things coming from heaven.

"Thank you for your kindness, but...I don't quite understand."

Esther was taking out a charm from her satchel that could enhance her affinity for sea beasts: "I know you may not be able to remember it, but I can write it down for you after we leave."

"No, that's not it. I don't understand why you are willing to tell me such a recipe. Pedro and Andrew will never mention these..."

Esther's movements paused, but the smiling eyes made Vika's heart tremble:

"Just take this as a guide to destiny."

After Esther said this, she held the charm from Klein and read "Storm" in ancient Hermes.

Vika watched as the strangely carved piece of iron emitted light instantly, and a blue flame burned on it, but Valery's hand was not injured at all.

Vika stared unblinkingly, and her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up - this was much more magical than Pedro's complicated ritual magic!

Danger be damned, he's going to decide on that recipe! What are you doing without danger? Going to sea with those bastards is already putting your life on the edge of a knife!

On the other hand, Vika felt that the experience of meeting this woman was enough to scare him for a lifetime. Now he didn't think there was anything else to be afraid of. There could be a more powerless despair than seeing his body being controlled. ? He almost died in his own hands!

Vika didn't know that the magic potion formula given to him was itself a trap sprinkled with icing sugar.

The flaming spell inspired the power contained in it, and Esther immediately sensed a newly established connection. She could touch the consciousness of the creatures in the sea.

This feeling is similar to her previous experiences in the Land Abandoned by God and the East Area. When Esther heard the inner calls of those people, she also had the ability to touch and control invisible connections.

Therefore, it is easy for Esther to process the information between these marine creatures. After all, their ideas are much simpler than humans.

Under Vika's gaze, Valery walked toward the sea step by step. He made an extra move that Vika didn't understand. He stretched out his hand towards his chest and shook it once.

But when Valery stepped into the sea, pieces of white bright fans floated up from the water, fluttering and clustering around the place where Valery settled down, accentuating his tall body.

"You, how did you -" Vika also took two steps forward in confusion, staring at the schools of silver snappers that could be seen everywhere. He tried to follow Valery, but instead stepped into the sea water and wet himself. shoes.

Vika turned his head and saw Valery opening and closing his palms towards him, and then Valery nodded: "If you take a big step forward, don't worry, I will let them support you."

Vika only felt excited. When the excitement overwhelmed the fear, he seemed to be indifferent. After hearing Valery's words, Vika quickly lifted his legs and stepped forward. He felt that his body became light and airy, as if he could jump up with just one push.

Immediately afterwards, something kept coming from under his feet, hitting the soles of his shoes, providing the momentum that allowed him to float on the sea.

Vika did not dare to be distracted and nervously bent down to stabilize his center of gravity. The water splashed by the silver snapper kept wetting his trousers. When he looked at the fish, a few drops of seawater splashed on his face. on it, letting Vika lick it subconsciously.

Salty and bitter, yet so real.

Vika's eyes were so wide that they almost fell out of their sockets: "This is amazing!"

Valery, however, had no reaction and said in a gentle tone: "As long as you are not afraid, just stand firm. When I find the right fish, we can 'switch'."

Vika's body swayed from side to side as the fish swam, but he was no stranger to such a drifting center of gravity, as if he was keeping a firm footing on the deck in the wind and waves.

As the school of fish rolled, the two figures began to drift forward gradually, even gradually accelerating. Although this speed was not comparable to that of a pirate ship with full sail, Vika felt extremely fresh about this experience.

The inexplicable joy in his heart made him howl twice, and he shouted excitedly to the people on the other side: "I can play in the pub for the rest of my life with this experience!"

Valery had a gentle smile on his face that was contrary to his temperament, but said nothing. His marked eyes looked into the distance, listening to the whispers of various creatures in the ocean.

It wasn't until Vika saw a shadow emerging under the two people's feet that the excitement in his heart quickly subsided, and he remembered the rumors he had heard in the past.

He had seen various monsters hidden in the sea when he was on the boat, but they did not cause much harm. However, he was not on the boat now, and what he stepped on was just a group of fragile silver snappers.

As the shadow under his feet got closer and closer, occupying an increasingly wider area, Vika began to feel uneasy, and he couldn't help shouting to the other side:

"Ma'am! There's something down there!"

"Don't worry, we're going to 'change'."

Vika suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and those silver snappers swam to the side one after another, directly abandoning the "passengers" who had carried them all the way. Vika's scream was only halfway out, and something new was highlighted under his feet.

His center of gravity was unstable and he fell backwards on this thing. There was a slight slimy touch under his palm, which made Vika get up in a panic and looked at the newly approaching ray in surprise.

This flat and wide ray is almost as big as a raft, even big enough to carry two more passengers.

The speed of this huge ray was much faster than those silver snappers. Vika didn't care about his pants getting wet. He simply sat down and slid his hands tentatively through the sea water next to him. Several silver snappers that hadn't strayed far away bit him. A few bites of his fingers.

"This is enough for me to brag in the tavern for the rest of my life!" Vika laughed excitedly, completely forgetting the terrible experience on the island.

"Be sober, you only have one life to live." The red cloak kept fluttering in the sea breeze, and Valery also sat on the back of the ray.

These creatures in the sea know which direction to go better than Esther. They have a unique way of identifying the direction of the sea. Esther can easily get their guidance to nearby human ports by just communicating with them briefly.

Idle time was also idle. Seeing that Vika's fear of her had decreased, Esther started chatting with him in a very casual tone:

"Vika, you don't seem to fit in well with those pirates."

Hearing this topic, Vika couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's normal. I'm just a marginalized ordinary crew member. After all, I came up halfway. It's just because I have trained with the resistance in Bayam for several years and my marksmanship is better. Only then did Andrew take him a little seriously."

"Were you born in Bayam?"

Vika scratched his cheek: "No, I don't know where I was born. My mother threw me in Bayam and left. I don't even know if my father is still alive. As a mixed-race child, this kind of This situation is not uncommon in the Rhoad Islands."

Esther nodded, picked up a silver snapper that accidentally jumped on the back of a ray, and threw it back into the sea. After communicating with her, these little guys were unwilling to stay away: "So, I After arriving in Nas, I have to go back to Bayam, do you want to follow me? Or do you want to stay in Nas?"

"You want to go back to Bayam?"

"The end of my trip is in Pulitzer Harbour, and I want to go back to Roen."

Vika hesitated for a long time, and finally said shamelessly: "Can I go to Bayam with you? Although I really want to go to Loen to see it, but... I feel that it is not suitable for me. I am just an ordinary person."

"He's just an ordinary unlucky guy." Esther said with a smile, "Maybe the potion formula I gave you can change your luck."

Vika's eyes immediately lit up: "Really!?"

"Of course not, it's still early for you. The materials alone cost several hundred gold pounds!" Esther nodded her satchel, "Of course, I don't mind giving you some starting capital."

Vika opened her mouth, but then lowered her head in disbelief: "To be honest, I really don't dare to take the money. I'm always afraid that you will ask for something at the expense of it."

"Then if I want you to do something, can you accept this money?"

Vika still looked hesitant: "I, I think it's okay, but I can't guarantee it... If it's something too dangerous, can I refuse?"

The tone when he spoke could be called pleading, and Esther shook her head funnyly: "Don't be so afraid. Of course you can refuse, and I won't ask you to do anything that endangers your life."

Vika nodded repeatedly: "That's okay! I will definitely work hard to do it!"

"As for your help, I will tell you when we get to Bayam."

"Ah, okay, as long as it's not that dangerous, I will definitely try my best!"

Esther looked at Vika: "You seem to be really afraid of death. Is it because of this fear that you became stronger?"

"I was almost beaten to death several times when I was a child," Vika said with a grin. "Few kids who are too tough survive. It's just something that adults can let go of by saying something nice."

He paused and patted his chest twice: "So I think there is nothing wrong with being like this now. If you should be soft, just be soft. Nothing is more important than your life."

The tail of the giant ray cut through the sea, leaving a white foam behind. The group of silver snappers was still lingering, seemingly obsessed with chasing the passengers on the ray.

Esther looked at Vika silently for a moment, until Vika started to feel nervous, and then a gentle smile appeared on Valery's rough face:

"You're right, nothing is more important than living."

Valery stretched out his hand towards the sea water, and a silver snapper vigorously tumbled out of the water and slapped his palm happily with its tail, as if it was deliberately high-fiving him.

Esther seems to capture the subtle and insignificant fate of these creatures. They will not cause ripples in the long river of fate, but they are a real part of existence.

The cool seawater falls into the palm of your hand and you can smell the salty smell when you put it under your nose.
