Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

"Rosen's Folk Herbal Shop", the "Rosen Darkweed" used by the shop owner when introducing himself to others is just a pseudonym.

His true identity is a member of the School of Life, and his teacher Roy King is an Extraordinary of the "Monster" path and the "Winner" of Sequence Five. Although the store owner is not a "monster", the teacher who strictly follows the guidance of fate naturally has an amulet that can bring good luck to the store owner. The jade-colored ouroboros ring is tied around his neck. It was buried under the bottom of the underwear, and was tightly covered by the black robe outside.

Because the shop owner only has Sequence Nine, he is just an ordinary "pharmacist" who travels around to open herbal medicine shops in order to pretend to digest magic potions and accumulate funds.

But "Rosen" never imagined that one day someone would come to him openly and ask for the Sequence Nine magic potion formula of the "Monster" pathway.

What an outrageous fate.

He complained, honestly pulled out a piece of oil paper for wrapping herbs, and quickly wrote down several materials on it with a pen. Then he threw the pen away, and with a rolling sound of "Gurgling", the pen fell directly to the ground. Go outside the counter.

The shop owner felt that the hot feeling on the amulet was dissipating. He knew that he had made a more "lucky" choice, and he couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart.

Esther first picked up the pen and put it back on the counter. Then she picked up the oil paper with the formula written on it and looked at the content on it:

"Nine Monsters

Main materials: 30 grams of twisted star stone fragments, a pair of Badhar Rattlesnake fangs

Auxiliary materials: 80 ml of pure water, 10 grams of absinthe juice, 5 grams of rainbow butterfly feather cocoon powder, one four-leaf clover."

The moment she saw the formula, it was as if a breeze lifted a corner of the curtain of memory, and Esther subconsciously read out the words it evoked: "Monster, machine, lucky guy."

The shop owner looked even more nervous: "Don't you know this? Why are you still asking me? I just make money -"

Esther didn't want this man to yell any more, so she interrupted him directly: "Yes, you are just an ordinary shop owner."

The boss nodded repeatedly: "Yes, so if you don't want to buy medicine, can you make room for me? You are in the way, no, I really don't know what else I want to say!"

"Um...thank you?" Esther blinked, "If you want to seek promotion, I would suggest you go to Backlund and wait patiently."

The shop owner opened his mouth wide and sat up excitedly: "Is this, is this some kind of prophecy!?"

"No, it's just fate. Good luck to you."

Esther suppressed a slight headache and put away the note. She rubbed her right eyebrow and walked out of the store. The boss finally breathed a sigh of relief and shouted angrily to the back of the store: "Shermin! Shermin, where did you go?" !?"

A young man with disheveled hair walked in and looked at the panicked boss blankly: "Teacher? What happened?"

"I shouted so loud just now, didn't you hear me at all? Are you deaf?"

The young man scratched his hair in confusion: "No, I didn't hear anything at all..."

Obviously, it wasn't that Shermin didn't hear his cry, but that the mysterious shopper's certain abilities made Shermin ignore the anomalies here. If she wanted to hurt me silently, I would definitely be dead. .

The shop owner figured this out, his pupils shrank, and he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Forget it! It's definitely useless to count on you, a brat... There's no need to buy any more herbal medicine from today on, I'm going to Beckland That’s good!”

Shermin nodded in confusion: "I know, but why, teacher?"

"Hey, you don't need to know so much!" The store owner rubbed his hands excitedly. The unidentified girl just now was at least a mid-sequence extraordinary person, so she could have the ability to make people unaware. Fortunately, she obeyed the guidance of the amulet. , gave her the "monster" formula, and got advice on going to Backlund to seek promotion!

Of course you must seize this opportunity!

Shermin asked with concern: "Does this store need to be transferred?"

The boss chuckled and was in a very excited mood: "If you want to stay, you can be the owner of this store. Your abilities are sufficient in identifying herbal medicines and preparing potions. Of course, you will receive 10% of your monthly profits. Remember to deposit fifty into my bearer account at Backlund Bank."

Shermin was quite reluctant to give up: "But, I haven't learned what you are really good at..."

Before the shop owner could reply to this sentence, another person walked in at the door. He was a well-dressed gentleman in formal attire. He looked at the environment of the shop suspiciously, and then looked at the boss sitting behind the counter, feeling even more uneasy. .

"You just said... you want to transfer it?"

The boss's dark blue eyes glanced at the man, and the corners of his mouth turned up: "You have a serious liver disease. Are you here to get medicine? You came just in time. We will be out of business in two days."

"Do you have a medicine that can cure my disease?" When the man heard what the boss said, he suddenly became more confident and nodded repeatedly, "Yes! I want to know how much it will cost to cure my disease?"

The boss took out a pack of herbal medicine from under the counter and threw it on the counter: "Ten pounds, fair price, add enough water to boil it into a potion, add ten drops of fresh rooster blood after cooking and drink it immediately. This pack of herbal medicine It can be cooked three times, and after three times it should be fine."

While he was talking, the shop owner kept moving his hands and added a few more herbs that the man had never seen before into the yellow-brown paper bag. They looked very strange and made the man suspicious again.

Is this store really reliable?

Sensing the man's hesitation, the boss suddenly grinned with a narrow smile: "Do you want anything else? How about this bag? When your liver disease is cured, I guarantee that you and your wife will be satisfied..."

The next night, Esther did not go fishing with the Nighthawks. Instead, she returned to Chanis Gate and carefully packed her things. She has a part of invisible scrap paper with some comments or inferences written in Chinese, which is not suitable for others to see. Esther planned to take these things out and burn them the next time she took a break, so as not to be discovered by her Nighthawk teammates one day.

Suddenly, a kind of uneasy annoyance made Esther jump up from her chair. She looked around blankly, but she couldn't feel the origin of such a sense of crisis. The seal of Chanis Gate blocked her senses, making Esther unable to tell who was in danger.

But soon, before Esther could rush out, the sense of crisis subsided. She scratched her head blankly and sat back on the chair.

what's the situation?

Esther stared blankly at the mess of books and notes on the table for a while, her spiritual intuition showing no other reaction. Since there was nothing over there, she relaxed and continued to pack her things.

It was late at night, and when Esther saw that nothing happened and no one came to see her, she stopped staying up late holding a book. She got into the quilt on the stone bed, closed her eyes and counted her heartbeat quietly.

The dream appears in the form of large patches of oil paint, like a child without a sense of color, applying various colors at will, and then the oil becomes turbid and dim due to the mixing.

Esther saw the back of a man, it was Dunn. He screamed in pain and shattered into a twisted mist of blood in his dream. Then Esther's sight was able to penetrate the past, and she saw a huge cross, like a pillar supporting the sky, standing on the deserted plain. On the cross, there was a naked man nailed with black iron nails. The male has his feet on top, his arms raised flat on both sides, his head hanging downward, and his body is covered with countless bloodstains and wounds.

Chaotic and vicious murmurs surrounded him all the time. His lips were tightly closed, but the sounds continued to pour out from his wounds, full of hatred and resentment. Many negative emotions roar like a symphony, enough to corrode and destroy the spirit of any observer.

The man suddenly opened his eyes, his bloodshot eyes penetrated the distance between time and space, stared at Esther closely, and opened his cracked and bloodied lips:

[Zorya.]

What did he say?

The next moment, the dream collapsed into turbid foam, and Esther woke up from the bed, lying beside the bed and retching. Her temples were throbbing with pain, and her head was almost split in half. Light lit up in the dark stone room, and the light source was the stars flying in Esther's hair. When they continued to tremble, Esther Her unique blond hair gradually faded and turned into a cool silvery white.

The hatred, resentment and other emotions she felt in the dream were all carried out as Esther's consciousness broke away. Her mind kept echoing those painful and angry murmurs, as well as that title, full of anxiety and longing. title.

Yes, that's what she was called, a name that didn't sound like English.

Esther is no longer a novice in occultism. She knows that the scene in the dream should be a strange evil god hanging upside down. However, due to Dunn and Old Neil's deliberate concealment, she does not understand those secret schools or religious powers. , and it’s not clear who she saw.

Why would He open His mouth and call her a name?

He seemed to know her, as the goddess of the night did.

Esther covered her head, which looked like it had been ripped open alive, but she couldn't even scream.

If someone opens their spiritual vision here at this time, they will see that behind the Chanis door, the black threads that seal the power are pouring into this stone house, covering Esther in layers, like a blanket covering her head. The light spots flying on the sky are constantly suppressing them with silent power.

If Esther wasn't in such pain at this moment, maybe she would see that the little bug was covered in golden light that was the same color as her hair, echoing the light spots that wanted to disperse in her hair. When the little bug raised its head and looked carefully , the light is like a cocoon shell wrapping it tightly inside.

Esther didn't know when the pain would end. Under the constant oppression of the dark force, those light spots returned to her head, dyeing her silver hair back to a pale gold like laurel.

As soon as the pain eased, Esther fainted.

Fortunately, she didn't have any more dreams this time.
