Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Benjamin continued to go up the dark staircase. He did not emit the light stored in the lens, so as not to be regarded as an "attack" by the defense mechanism in the castle.

Many things here are afraid of the sun and can only survive by absorbing the power of the crimson moon in the dark night. As far as Benjamin knows, the vitality of this castle and those plants comes from something more evil, and Esther definitely does not The problem is, Zoya's status is enough for Esther to avoid most troubles.

But Benjamin must be extremely cautious. He cannot wait until the next blood moon to come here again. He doesn't know how long he can be "free" again.

Even the original body did not make a more detailed judgment on the origin of this castle. The clone of Amon who came here to explore could not confirm whether it originated from the Mother Goddess or the pollution of the Mother's Nest, which turned the Marquis of Kelal into a Got to be so crazy.

They come here just for fun.

In the Fourth Age, Marquis Kelal desperately swallowed the extraordinary characteristics of the second sequence of the vampires, the "Mother of Desolation". If it were the Fifth Age, where the world's barriers were becoming increasingly weak, perhaps Marquis Kelar's desperate move would have succeeded - he would have summoned something that even the gods would find difficult to deal with.

But he still failed. As the "Judge", the "Night Emperor" has the supreme authority and establishment of rules in his own territory. The phrase "the mystery weakens and the reality strengthens" is enough for Kelal to try to sacrifice himself. The act of opening the summoning door became a laughing stock.

Sequence Three and the incomplete Sequence Two can only look up to the power of the true God. Kelal's madness has come to an end. If the vampires hadn't tried their best to clean up the ending of this matter, I am afraid that it would have also affected the "Night Emperor" in the country. Reputation will be shaken.

Of course, this is also the reason why there are other people behind it...

Benjamin couldn't help but smile when he thought of this. If he really thought about it, life in the Fourth Age was quite interesting.

He seems to have been floating outside for a long time. A clone that is independent of the main body, even as a believer in the main body, can have his own little thoughts, right?

The smile on Benjamin's face faded, and the stairs spiraled up. Through the darkness that was so thick that it almost strangled people, he pushed open the door at the end.

Once again, a torrent of blood poured out from the crack in the door, trying to drown the ill-intentioned explorer.

But Benjamin just spread his right hand and pushed forward slightly. The surging blood seemed to hit an invisible barrier, skirted along both sides of his body, poured directly into the stairs, and continued to flow downwards along with gravity. This scene lasted for more than ten seconds, and then nothing stood in front of Benjamin.

Deception of natural rules requires more time to practice before one can be said to be proficient. For ordinary extraordinary people, it takes repeated practice to get used to thinking of "laws" as "puzzles", so that they can skillfully respond quickly to various situations.

Benjamin doesn't need it. As a clone of the "god of fraud and mischief", these things are common sense that has been integrated into his instincts.

He continued walking forward, and behind the wooden door at the end of the stairs was an abandoned greenhouse that was particularly peaceful. The crimson moonlight fell in through the open glass window and shone on the empty flower trays or wooden barrels, making the room seem even more empty and lonely.

Benjamin looked thoughtfully at the broken flower pots or glass windows. The plants here had all disappeared, or "left", and they had better places to stay, such as the humans who strayed here by mistake.

Benjamin's steps were leisurely, and it was obvious that he was not in a hurry.

After the two of them split up to explore, he was waiting for an opportunity, and he didn't wait long.

The sense of voyeurism that pricked his perception continued until Benjamin left the greenhouse and followed him through two rooms filled with vases and utensils. When Benjamin carefully observed a pair of candlesticks embedded in the wall, that feeling The hidden sense of voyeurism suddenly disappeared completely.

"Help, you have to help me hold the Marquis for a while." Benjamin laughed.

After the sense of prying eyes dissipated, he immediately raised his hand to take off his glasses, forcefully took out the round glasses on his right eye, and put the frame into his arms.

Benjamin lowered his head and stared at the lens. His current move was very risky, but it was also an extreme temptation. If the main body had a temporary intention and suddenly came to him...

Thinking of what might happen, Benjamin realized that he was a little excited. The main body wanted to observe the extent of Esther's influence on the clone. If he fell on the affected clone, would he be changed in turn?

That was so much fun, and just thinking about it made me look forward to it. If He didn't come, it would be no loss to me, and either way, Esther would be fine. Amon doesn't care about Esther, but he can't ignore the situation about "Zoya" in her. He may continue to be confused like this until the day someone reveals this matter.

The smile on Benjamin's face became even more joyful. He raised his hand and stuck the lens into his right eye socket, and his clear green eyes fell into ink shadows.

The clothing on his body has not changed, it is still a simple short Luen formal suit, but Benjamin's eyes and hair quickly dyed black, and the bangs hanging in front of his eyes gradually curled up.

When he raised his head again, his fingertips rested on the lens of his right eye. He had been "Benjamin Jacob" for too long, which made him even miss his current appearance.

However, if Esther sees the current "Benjamin", she probably won't even take out the compass, and will find a way to make a fuss in the castle to alert her "travelers" and urge "Benjamin" Yamin" leave quickly.

Benjamin suppressed the urge to look at Esther despite her current appearance. Although it was interesting, now was not the time for pranks.

He straightened his monocle, and the thick stone slab he stood on suddenly collapsed. The entity was stolen away by invisible forces, and it was completely unable to bear any weight.

Benjamin's figure fell straight down, his black eyes fixed on the soles of his feet. Everything that appeared below him lost its role in hindering his fall under the repeated effects of "fraud" and "theft".

There are many hidden treasures in this castle. What Benjamin wants in the tower is what Benjamin wants, and what he wants underground is also what he wants.

From the very beginning, "Benjamin's" goal was not just above, but below. The lie was told to Esther, but it was not entirely a lie, and the action was used to confuse Marquis Kelar.

Now the Marquis is obviously more interested in Esther, and even goes to contact her personally. Even if the Marquis of Kelar turns back belatedly, he can no longer stop him from going deep into the castle. The time Esther has bought is enough. .

Twisted branches and thorny vines swirl around "Benjamin", but they are entangled with each other. The raging blood-colored river is like condensing into gauze ribbons, but it is always swept into the air at the last moment, even the corners of Benjamin's clothes are Without being touched, the tapestries and murals in the castle screamed, and a large number of red figures broke away from them and rushed towards the thin black-haired young man crazily.

But he just smiled and kept staring at the soles of his feet. One stream of light flashed across the monocle. Occasionally he would change the position of his fall, and then indifferently pass over all threats that wanted to attack him.

As long as it's not Marquis Keral himself, this castle is not much different from a playground to Amon's clones.

"Benjamin" sensed that the compass appeared for a moment and then was withdrawn, and the smile on his lips deepened.

He could almost guess what kind of action Marquis Kelar would take. It was nothing more than that after Benjamin changed his form, he would take over the position of "prom partner". Evil spirits who are driven more by instinct than reason are rarely good at moving. Thinking of it, Esther must have used the compass to confirm Keilal's lie.

It's just a pity that I can't see Esther being stimulated by her appearance. I don’t know how she will deal with the “lovable” Marquis. Will Esther be able to resist accepting the invitation? Then the follow-up will be a bit troublesome.

"Benjamin's" figure changed position again, avoiding several canes that were whipping like whips. Their roots were rooted in the ground of the castle, and they were beating wildly in his direction, making bursts of sound, but they were always just a few inches away from the intruder's body.

The stone bricks under his feet became blurry again, and "Benjamin's" body continued to fall, directly passing through all the defenses of the castle, ignoring those alienated rooms, and following the simple guidance of the "thief" who was attracted by valuables, he walked all the way. Falling into the deepest part of the earth.

This is a room filled with crimson moonlight. It doesn't look dark because of the light, but everything that catches the eye is red. Even the tree roots that are constantly crawling on the walls of the room are all red, with filmy blood bubbles bulging on them, exactly like those on the outside of the castle that hold up the foundation.

This place will even give "Benjamin" a vague sense of oppression. According to the inferences between the clones, this is probably the place where Keilal tried to open the door of summoning and pull the moonlight or the mother's nest into the reality here.

Therefore, after Keilal's death, the aura of being eroded by the high level still remained here, and even Amon's clone could not completely ignore it.

"Benjamin" would not stay here for long. He stared closely at the red coffin in the center of the room.

A necklace is lying flat on top. If Esther were here, she would be able to recognize it at a glance as the necklace on Marquis Kelar's chest, except that the huge gemstone inlaid on the necklace is cyan, not the red that Kelar wears. .

The crimson moonlight in the room surged and condensed, trying to erode the intruder's consciousness. However, due to the absence of the castle owner, they could not play much protective role against a "deception mentor" and could only flow around "Benjamin". .

"Benjamin"'s body landed lightly beside the coffin. He tapped the edge of his monocle. As a blazing light burst out from the lens of his right eye, another miniature sun almost rose next to the coffin. .

The crimson moonlight and the rolling tree roots trembled, retreating in all directions as if encountering natural enemies.

"Benjamin" opened his hand towards the necklace, grabbed it once, and with a stream of light passing over his lenses, the necklace inlaid with cyan gems disappeared.

The coffin shook violently, and a roar of extreme grief and anger came from inside. (End of chapter)
