Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

"I haven't asked you yet, why did you become a woman today?" Esther asked.

Banabei cleared his throat, rubbed his Adam's apple twice, and his neck became smooth. He, or she, answered in a very gentle voice: "Because I want to see my friends, and please call It’s Barney.”

Although Mateo did not participate in the conversation between the two, the moment he heard these words, his expression became extremely subtle, between fear and pity: "Is there something wrong with you..."

Barney winked at Mateo.

Mateo's hand subconsciously touched his arms, and Esther quickly grabbed his arm. She had already seen the "sun" charm in Mateo's hand. Mateo's eyes were in a trance, and he looked like I want to give Bani the purification of the Holy Sun.

"You should stop irritating him. You know that you guys who can change faces are very talented!" Esther said to Barney through gritted teeth.

Because this person only changed in appearance to a woman, and his height of 1.78 meters remained unchanged, jealousy made Esther feel resentful.

Bani smiled very proudly. Only this smile was similar to Banabei's original appearance: "Remember, you have to call me Bani, do you hear me? Banabei is just a pseudonym I use outside~"

"Don't speak in a coquettish tone!!"

Mateo and Esther yelled angrily at the same time.

Bani's eyes changed and she happily pointed to the dock: "The ship is coming, let's get there quickly!"

Looking at the back of Barney walking up happily, Esther rubbed her right eyebrow with pain on her face.

Mateo asked her in a low voice: "So, is this person a man or a woman?"

"I don't know, I can't tell. Just think that he is her now."

Esther said this very sincerely.

This was not the case when Klein played the "Faceless Man". The problem should still be with Barnaby. This man's brain circuit is too weird. Has Klein ever dressed as a woman before? No, I can’t think about it anymore. It’s getting weirder and weirder as I continue to think about it. I’ll just ask him directly next time I write a letter...

Esther's thoughts gradually went astray.

Approaching the "Barnacle Pier" was a medium-sized ship flying a white whale flag. The skeleton of a whale was painted on the sails. The entire hull was painted gray and white. It looked like it was assembled from stones, but Esther was sure it was still made of wood.

Because of the approach of this ship, the nearby dock workers or sailors all moved further away and subconsciously avoided this place. They seemed to be no longer surprised by the pirate ship docking, and they just wanted to stay away from the people here and not get into trouble.

Esther and Mateo also walked up to Barney. Before the pirate ship had completely stopped, a tall figure jumped up from the bow of the ship, looking quite anxious.

With a "boom", the man landed heavily on the pier. Fortunately, the wooden beams and planks here were strong enough to bear the weight of this extraordinary man.

"Barney——"

The man who jumped off the bow of the boat shouted loudly and hugged the nervous Bani. He even hugged Bani tightly in his arms, picked her up and spun her around twice.

When Bani was put on the ground, her face was red and she looked angry and annoyed: "I told you every time, don't lift me like this!"

What's more, there were two people next to her... Barney turned her head and saw Mateo's disgusted eyes and Esther's evil smile.

After letting go of Barney, the man also turned around and smiled brightly at Esther and Mateo.

This is a lady who is about two meters tall. Although her figure cannot be said to be full of muscles, she is quite tight and stylish. Her dark blue slightly curly long hair is scattered and tied into a bunch behind her head, with only a few strands of bangs covering it. Her deeply contoured features hang down on her black eyes.

"Hello!" She greeted in a very loud voice, "Are you the friends Bani mentioned?"

Since Mateo's expression was always delicate, Esther took the lead in holding the lady's outstretched hand and touched the thick layer of calluses on it: "Hello! Just call me Hamel. I'm very happy. See you."

"Hahaha, you don't have to be so formal, lady from Loen! You can call me Ksenia," Ksenia said. After saying this, she leaned over and covered her mouth with her hands, telling Esther in a low voice, " Bani is a difficult child to get along with, and I have wronged you!"

Bani, who was standing next to her, pinched her eyebrows vigorously, and her already annoyed expression became even worse: "I heard everything Niya! Don't tell her what's there and what's not!"

Esther was already laughing in her heart. She shook Ksenia's hand twice hard: "It doesn't matter! We all know what kind of character she is."

Ksenia then turned to Mateo and stretched out her hand to him: "Sir, don't you know what to call you?"

"Matteo, hello, Ms. Ksenia." Matteo put on an unnatural smile.

"Okay, let's get on the boat!" Ksenia patted Esther and Mateo hard on the shoulders. Esther was okay, but Mateo almost lost his legs and fell down due to the pat.

"Oh, sorry! I sometimes forget to control my strength." But what surprised Ksenia even more was that the woman who looked quite petite and weak had no effect at all.

"So are you ready?" When Ksenia asked, Mateo and Esther were stunned for a moment.

"Ready!"

"Then let's go -"

Esther turned her head angrily. The cry just now was not hers, someone imitated her voice!

Bani stood beside the three of them, smiling sinisterly.

Before Esther could ask Kseniya what she was preparing for, Kseniya suddenly grabbed Esther and Mateo's shoulders with force, one on each side, and they were both tightly held in her hands. .

The next moment, their feet were in the air.

Mateo's face turned pale, and he almost gritted his teeth to prevent himself from screaming because of such a change.

The fierce wind blew up the bodies of the three people, mainly the heaviest Ksenia, allowing her to soar directly into the air. Esther's cloak was blown "hunting", and it seemed that she could float into the sky at any time.

Ksenia laughed and pulled the two of them up, and they flew wildly in the air, attracting many eyes on the dock.

The short flight didn't come to an end until Ksenia landed on the deck. Mateo took two steps to the side in a daze and leaned weakly on the side of the ship. It was obvious that he was not used to this "travel method" with his feet off the ground. ".

Barney looked around blankly and shouted at the bow of the boat: "Wait, where's me? I haven't boarded the boat yet!"

Ksenia also shouted in reply: "Come up yourself!"

Immediately afterwards, she took out a folded piece of paper from her arms and patted it directly on the side of the ship: "Be careful, don't burn my ship!"

Esther couldn't hold it back and showed a very gloating smile on her face. Ksenia turned back and winked at her: "It's a rare opportunity to make this bad girl unlucky."

Although Esther didn't speak, she nodded repeatedly.

Bani, who had a depressed look on her face, snapped her fingers, and the paper suddenly burst into flames.

The next moment, her figure disappeared from more than ten meters away, emerged from the flames on the bow of the ship, turned over lightly, and landed on the ground to stand firm.

"That's too much! You are deliberately making me look embarrassed!" Bani was obviously startled, "Wait a minute, this seems to be the letter paper I used..."

Ksenia laughed loudly and waved to the rest of the people on the boat: "Let's go to the east where mermaids roam the sea!"

Then Kseniya belatedly noticed that Bani's tuxedo had a lot of black damage: "What happened to your clothes? Do you need to change them? Do you want me to find you a skirt?"

"No!" Bani quickly rejected this "well-intentioned" suggestion, "I got burned when I was fighting with someone before."

"You are a good player at playing with fire. How could someone set fire on you?" Ksenia led a few people into the cabin, "Come, I will take you to the guest room. After all, this is not a professional passenger ship. You I can only make do with it."

Ksenia patted her forehead and patted Esther's shoulder carelessly: "I forgot to mention, welcome to the 'Whalebone', I am the captain, the first mate and the second mate will return to Fusac these days. I won’t be back until next month.”

Bani touched her chin, an action that occasionally occurred when Barnabas was thinking: "I never understand why the name of your ship is so strange. It sounds very unlucky."

Ksenia shook her head vigorously: "You don't understand! Whales are great animals!"

"I do know about big animals..." Mateo murmured quietly next to him, "Is it because of the whale falling?"

"Whale fall? What is that?" Bani raised her eyebrows curiously. Mateo actually knew about this, but he didn't know it, which made Bani feel a little dissatisfied.

Banabei, who had always used his IQ to overwhelm Mateo and provoke his anger, suddenly lost his sense of superiority.

Esther did not interrupt. This was the first time she heard the word Fusac, and she could only vaguely perceive that it referred to some kind of phenomenon.

But after Mateo explained, Esther quickly understood the process.

Mateo had a rare opportunity to raise his head in front of Barney: "When a whale dies, its huge body will sink into the ocean, becoming the nourishment and living place for various creatures, and becoming the home of many lives - —and this whole process is summed up as whale fall.”

Kseniya clapped her hands hard twice: "I didn't expect you to know this statement. I thought you were from the land like Bani."

After Bani learned the answer, she quickly regained her disdainful expression: "Tsk, it turns out it was just because of this feeling that I thought there were some secret rumors."

But Kseniya slapped Bani on the back: "This is not just feelings! The sea has given birth to countless lives and occupies a much wider area than the land. Don't underestimate the life in the sea!"

"Of course I won't underestimate it. I still need the help of those mermaids." Bani hit her back twice with a painful expression.
