Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

After the separate communication between "The World" and "The Hanged Man" ended, the rest of the people also completed some of the transaction requests.

Because no one raised anything else, Esther put aside those chaotic thoughts for the time being, looked in the direction of "The Fool" and raised her hand:

"I have obtained a kind of material, but because its effect is unknown, I would like to ask if anyone knows it or needs it. Mr. Fool, can I give you the general description of it?"

"certainly."

After obtaining the consent, a piece of white paper condensed in front of Esther, on which she reproduced the general shape of the flower bud and the basic information of the monster.

After "The Fool" clicked on the armrest, the paper appeared in front of everyone at the same time for them to look at.

If it were normal times, Esther might sigh in her heart that this "one-click carbon copy" method is convenient enough, but now her mind is filled with Zoya's words, and she is no longer in the mood to joke with herself. .

As Esther thought, "The Sun" was the first to put down the paper in his hand:

"I know that this kind of monster is recorded in the books of Silver City. It often lives in swamps or wetlands. Because it can move freely in these places, it is quite difficult to kill. But I am not very clear about the records of the function of the materials. I'm sorry... …”

Esther waved her hand: "It's okay. I just want to ask if everyone understands. It's okay."

The "Hermit" hesitated for a moment, then decided to ask his doubts: "Perhaps you can try to divine its purpose yourself?"

"For some reasons, my divination is not stable, but I will ask someone to help me divination, thank you for the suggestion." Esther replied.

"The World" raised his head, but didn't say anything, and Esther didn't look in that direction either.

Since no one spoke anymore, "The Fool" tapped the edge of the long table to allow everyone to enter the free communication period.

"The Sun" shared the experience of the Silver City team exploring the afternoon town. "The World" and "The Hanged Man" showed concern about the "crazy captain" at sea and had a brief exchange.

Esther had been waiting for Zoya to deliver new news, but there was no movement.

When she heard "The World" talk about the slave trade incident and the missing people in the Great Smog, Esther looked at him and quickly looked away, doubts about the involvement behind these things.

The reason why they arrested so many people, is this what Mr. Fool is pursuing?

When "The Hermit" mentioned the crazy adventurer Gehrman Sparrow's hunt for the second mate of the "Immortal King", Esther immediately frowned and subconsciously looked at the "world" at the end of the table.

But she quickly looked away.

Damn it, the blockage was so tight that I couldn't tell whether it was Klein attending the meeting or not. It seemed very rude of me to stare at people like this.

But after "The Hanged Man" suggested that major organizations start investigating Hermann, "The World" actually answered:

"I wonder where I can get this commission? I want to use some unimportant information to get money. I still know something about Gehrman Sparrow."

Esther covered her mouth with her fist, looking like she was thinking about something, but only she knew that she was holding back laughter.

Today's "world" seems to be attended by Klein. Others would not be able to say this with such confidence. They should respect his wishes anyway.

If it weren't for Zoya's words, I might still be in a good mood today...

Just as Esther was thinking this, the voice that she thought would never sound again appeared in her mind again:

"Don't trust any gods or their favored ones, not even the 'Fool'..."

The Fool sitting at the other end of the bronze table suddenly raised his head, and the voice Esther heard suddenly stopped.

This action attracted everyone's attention.

"The Fool" stretched out his hand, and the ball of light hanging above the long bronze table fell down and meekly stuck to his palm.

"The Fool" looked around the long table, his eyes obviously paused on "The Lover", and then he smiled and said: "You continue."

"Zhengyi" is relatively calm. She is observing the reaction of her "lover", but from the detailed changes in movements, "Zhengyi" can find that the "lover"'s posture has become more restrained, and she subconsciously wraps her arms in front of her, Full of self-defense.

"The Hanged Man" stared at the table, not daring to speculate whether "The Fool" was dissatisfied with "Lover", but he was not sure why. He did not notice anything unusual about the previous "Lover".

Others either pretended to glance at the end of the table casually, or they didn't quite understand what was going on, so they simply let the conversation return to what they had just exchanged. "Sun" continued to follow a few people to learn the ancient Hermes language.

After the Tarot session ended, everyone saluted "The Fool" and said goodbye, before being sent off into the gray mist.

"The Fool" still held the ball of light firmly in his hand: "What do you want to do again? I heard something, you mentioned me."

There was no change in the ball of light, and it was as quiet as a completely dead thing, but Klein knew that he was avoiding this question.

He raised the ball of light in front of his eyes, his eyes calm: "Zoya, what are you talking about to your 'lover'?"

The ball of light trembled slightly for a moment, and a buzzing sound that was strong and weak emitted from it. After this state lasted for a few seconds, a voice similar to Esther's but more childish came out:

"It's a warning."

After sending this response, the light in the transparent watch case quickly dimmed, like a fire that was about to be extinguished, almost turning into a faint gray.

From the visual and spiritual exploration, Klein could feel the weakness of the light ball. This was not a disguise. Zoya's forced communication with Esther seemed to consume a lot of accumulated energy.

Klein did not let go of the ball of light. He knew that as long as he was promoted to Sequence Four and could step onto that ladder, he would be able to initially control the body that belonged to Zoya in his hand.

Judging from the trajectory of Skylark's attempt to escape in reality, Zoya would not be able to refuse his direct questions if contacted in reality, and would answer directly according to certain rules.

Is it because the "Lord of the Spirit World" has absolute control over Him?

If this is the case, then He has been guiding and even helping Esther so that she can always be promoted ahead of me, so that she can counteract the influence I can have?

After all, Zoya's path is "destiny", which is the ability that can easily give Esther good luck and even guide her in the right direction.

"warn……"

Klein sighed heavily, his heart as heavy as iron.

——

Esther returned to the real world, straightened up from the sofa, and after a moment of silence, she sat back down again and changed into a more comfortable position.

As her body relaxed, her mind began to spin rapidly.

Listing a few names in her mind, Esther unconsciously traced circles on the sofa with her fingers.

"The Fool", Dazhberg, Hers, the goddess of the night, Amon, Hors.

Using the ability of "Decryption Scholar", Esther constructed a divergent diagram in her mind, connecting bits and pieces of known information.

In the middle is Zoya's name.

Daribog is Amon's deceased father. Zoya met Daribog under the deal with the Goddess of Night and has been with him since the Second Age.

Ourologis and Zoya were partners, and Medici seemed to think that Zoya was still with Ourolos, and that he had indeed kept the body of the skylark. Hells was not Darzhberg, but he still had a name. At that time, Zoya knew him as Chernobog.

Why are there so many relationships? I have no idea what they all mean. It seems that only Zoya would call them that...

Amon doesn't seem to receive this kind of treatment at all. Why?

Esther's spinning fingers suddenly stopped, and she opened her eyes in surprise.

The first god to receive a special name is "Daribog". Based on the same speciality, the following people should all be characters closely related to Daribog.

Esther gradually converged her divergent thoughts, and narrowed down the names to Chernobog and Halls, and then to the candidates within the safe zone.

Between the "Fool" and the "Night Goddess", Esther chose the latter to ask for relevant information. Because the goddess of the night knows Daribog, she may have heard of these names, and "The Fool"...

Esther didn't know what else she could give. She could only wait to go to Ovela Island and Bayam to continue collecting Russell's diary.

Previously, "The Fool" expressed his willingness to provide shelter in dreams, but Esther had not repaid him much in return. Although it was just a promise, the God's promise itself was a favor.

Thinking of this, Esther let out a long breath and made the decision to use the Holy Emblem of Night again.

But before that, she planned to find out the function of the bud. It happened that there was a person who knew divination beside her, so she didn't need it in vain.

Esther stood up and walked out of the room, leaving her cloak and satchel inside the door, only putting a few silver coins in her arms.

She knocked on the door next door and waited for two minutes but no one responded.

Strange, aren't Vika and the others in the room? Esther immediately walked downstairs. When passing by the bar, she was very surprised to see the two people gathered at the card table, not knowing what they were watching.

Not only were Vika and Mateo around, there were about seven or eight people watching the fun. Everyone was curiously talking about something, including the tall lady Esther had seen at the front desk yesterday. The atmosphere in the pub was quite enthusiastic.

Esther immediately walked over. Vika noticed her approach and quickly stepped away from the bystander position. Another person quickly squeezed into the vacant space.

"What are you looking at?" Esther's curiosity was also aroused.

While gesticulating with his hands, Vika raised the corners of his mouth and showed a gloating smile: "The two of them played a card game on the table, betting against each other! But one person almost lost his pants and refused to give up. ,Hahaha!"

"So you're all just here to watch the fun?"

"The process was exciting! The unlucky guy won three games in a row at the beginning, and then the guy opposite suddenly made a comeback and never lost another game!"

Esther followed him and twitched her lips: "You guys have been watching here all afternoon? Did you ask Mateo for the occult knowledge I asked you to catch up on?"

Vika chuckled twice: "W-how about you come and take a look too? I just want to know if he will really lose all his pants..."
