Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Barnabas is not an easy person to get along with, and this is reflected in many aspects, including his gossip and narcissism, as well as his contempt for others.

But when it comes to reaching a deal, he is definitely a person who can do what he says, not to mention that this matter is related to Barnabei's promotion, and he has already received the greatest benefit. Barnabas hated the feeling of being indebted to others, and there wasn't much time left for him, so he put all his effort into this matter.

On the voyage of the "Whalebone" back to the waters of the Rhoad Islands, Barney almost locked herself in a "little dark room."

She prepared enough paper and pen, and spent all her time writing down any information that impressed her and met the requirements. She didn't even have time to take a breath. If her body wasn't strong enough, the faceless man could control his appearance. , Bani’s dark circles have long appeared.

This posture of desperately squeezing herself made Esther seem to see some struggling warriors who are desperate. If they were replaced by novel writers, they must have the courage to update 30,000 yuan a day.

Every day at lunch and dinner, Barney would appear in the restaurant on time. After she finished her meal ravenously, she would tell Esther that the part she had just written had been placed at Esther's door.

Then Barney would go back inside and continue writing the next section of information.

In addition to the scrawled handwriting, occasionally mixed with messy ink marks, the amount of information Barney wrote to Esther, at least in terms of quantity, far exceeded Esther's imagination.

So before Esther started reading, she left Mateo in the care of Ksenia and asked her to help explain some navigation knowledge to the young man and prepare for Mateo's future path.

So there was an extra coolie on Ksenia's ship who was responsible for running errands. Mateo understood Esther's intention. He followed the ordinary sailors on duty, patrolled and scrubbed the deck. He tried hard to get along with others and did everything very well. Heart.

Esther felt a sense of inexplicable relief in her eyes. Afterwards, like Barney, Esther spent a lot of time in her room, reading hastily written documents.

At the beginning of the Dark Age, many legends about "ancient gods" ruling the world sounded more like stories to scare children into sleeping well. Barnabas didn't know much about them, so he just brushed them off.

In the late period of the Dark Age, human beings began to get rid of the situation at the bottom of the survival chain. This was the era when the ancient Hermetic language originated, and extraordinary people stepped onto the stage of the big world.

Darborg. Esther recited the name silently, but did not leave any notes or annotations on the information. She considered it and decided to transfer the broad part to Klein, which was considered sharing information.

I don’t know if Klein already knows these things...

Esther's finger pointed at the "Creator of the Third Age". Even if Barnabas did not write down a detailed introduction to the eight kings of angels, Esther still remembered the title that suddenly came to her mind during a Tarot meeting.

Looking back now, perhaps it was Zoya who gave the hint at that time?

Then came the fall of the gods. Many beings gained great benefits from that fall, and most of them were the best among the extraordinary.

Banabei's handwriting was even more confusing when he wrote this paragraph. He even deliberately stated that it included "many ancestors of the great families of the Fourth Age" who were considered "our enemies".

The term "enemy" is very subtle.

Barnabei's statement about this period of history was very formulaic. Esther could read his disgust for his own identity. From this, she guessed that among them were the founders and opponents of the Secret Order, who had witnessed the battle between gods at that time. occur.

There are quite a lot of people. Esther's eyes fell on the next piece of paper. She didn't pay much attention to the history of the "Fourth Age" at first, but Barnabas left a special article "The Rise and Chaos of the Age of Gods" that made Esther There was a longer pause.

Is "Red Angel" Medici still under that tomb?

Esther's eyes passed over "Solomon Empire's Black Emperor forms an alliance with the True Creator" and glanced at the content behind:

"The Zoroastrian family was protected by the Black Emperor", "The Black Emperor fell under the joint plan of the six gods", "The United Empire was destroyed, the Blood Emperor and the Night Emperor established their own empires", "The Amon Family, the Abraham Family and the Anti The Gonus family became supporters of the Blood Emperor, and the Jacob family later became loyal to the Blood Emperor."

Esther was digesting the news about several families behind the Blood Emperor. She still remembered the notes of the "Antigonus Family". It was this note that attracted people from the Secret Order in Tingen at that time.

As for the man who once called himself "Mr. Door", Esther had contact with the eyes of the illusory cascading door. At this time, she also had a clear target of suspicion - "the ancestor of the Abraham family, Bethel Abraham".

After that, the situation became increasingly chaotic.

"The Black Emperor has returned from resurrection..." Esther's fingers holding the paper pressed slightly, causing the shadows caused by wrinkles to appear on the line.

Her premonition was touched, but Esther couldn't tell the source of the tension, so she continued to look back.

Good, at least she now knows what the "Hermits of Destiny" is about.

Esther examined the relevant information that Barnabat had specially written for her, which focused on the origin of this organization - the descendants of the Jacob family and the Zoroastrian family, including other Beyonders of the "Stealer" path. , jointly established such a "mutual help" organization.

Its main function is to fight against the "Amon Family", or Amon himself...

"What a street rat, no one can beat it." Esther recalled some bad memories and turned over the page with a distorted expression.

Her flipping speed was always much faster than Barnabas's writing speed. She put down the dense handwritten pages in her hands and closed her eyes.

Her "spiritual intuition" remained silent.

It would be several days before the "Whalebone" returned to Olavi Island. On Sunday morning, Esther heard a faint buzzing sound from the depths of her mind.

She turned over and almost fell directly from the hammock to the ground, but after Esther easily adjusted her balance, she stabilized her body and carefully discerned the call in her mind.

The two fates still lingering in her perception, one of them trembling slightly, after Esther touched it with her consciousness, she quickly heard Vika's vague prayer, and he was talking about the "monster" potion that he was going to take today. things.

Esther smiled, hoping that Vika would not regret such a choice after discovering the "specialness" of this path.

However, if Vika stays with the members of the School of Life, she will definitely receive sufficient and complete guidance, so Esther doesn't have anything to worry about.

"If I need to establish a relationship with the other party, I need to capture the other party's destiny first, and then I can receive the other party's message by chanting the honorable name..."

What makes Esther even more happy is that Vika has not forgotten her. If she can receive Vika's prayer at this time next week, it means that her idea is feasible.

However, the mysterious parliament speaker said that this would be both beneficial and harmful to me. It seems that the plan to promote the "God of Luck" on a large scale and recruit believers is not feasible.

Esther got up from the hammock and walked to the window.

Outside the closed windows are the never-tiring blue waves, rolling and crashing against the hull of the ship under the dazzling morning sun.

——

The next day at three o'clock in the afternoon, there will be a new tarot session.

The light gradually faded, and a familiar long bronze table appeared in front of Esther's eyes, as well as several dark red blurred figures sitting at the table.

This time, only the "hermit" handed over a page of the diary, and then asked the "fool" a question:

"Besides Emperor Russell, who else is the protagonist of this diary?"

The "Fool" leaning on the back of the chair was no different from his usual leisurely attitude, but when he said that word, Esther suddenly felt a chill on her back. It shouldn't have any impact at all——

"The Fool"'s voice was light and airy: "Mr. Men."

Esther's fingers trembled slightly. She had just learned about the history of the Fourth Age, and now she happened to encounter something related to one of the protagonists?

The family of Abraham...

While the other members looked at each other in confusion, wanting to see who could answer the question, Esther stared straight at the "magician".

The "lover's" direct and unusual gaze quickly attracted the attention of "Justice", "The Hanged Man" and "The Hermit". Before long, everyone was staring at the "Magician".

The "Magician" turned his head blankly, only to find that everyone was staring at him.

Why is everyone looking at me? Instead, she became the most confused person present.

"The Fool" nodded gently, with a smile in his voice, but his words were addressed to the initiator of the "Attention Ceremony": "Lover? You can speak."

The panic of being suddenly named by "The Fool" made Esther stunned for a moment, and she subconsciously adjusted to a more regular sitting posture: "Yes! I just contacted - I mean, I learned some rumors. 'Mr. Door' seems to be Abraham The patriarch of the family, Bethel Abraham.”

"Magician" suddenly trembled slightly, and her strange behavior attracted the attention of others. After all, Ms. "Magician" had been in contact with the Abraham family, and everyone subconsciously paid some attention to her.

Of course Esther also looked over: "Miss Magician? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I just remembered something, the full moon was murmuring..." "Magician"'s voice was a little vague, as if this was a pretty bad memory for her.

Esther's body leaned forward subconsciously: "Have you also heard the 'full moon whisper'?"

This time it was the "Magician" who was stunned for a moment: "Yes, did you just say 'ye'?"

Esther just nodded, but did not explain much. She thought it was not time to communicate freely, so she subconsciously looked up at the "Fool" at the other end of the long table.

"The Fool" watched every move below, immediately looked around, and spread his hands toward everyone: "You guys start."
