Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

There was another crazy roar in the castle, and Esther and Benjamin held hands. Their bodies were pulled by invisible forces and flew somewhere in the air amid a gust of air.

As the two of them passed through a period of oppressive darkness, when their eyes lit up again, they were already in the woods a hundred meters away from the castle.

Benjamin immediately let go of Esther: "Tell me when you are better."

Esther shook her head. A dizzy feeling with tinnitus was constantly disturbing her. She carefully sat under the tree and slowly pressed the position between her eyebrows: "Is this also a fraud on the rules?"

"I took advantage of the loopholes left by Him. It's very simple. The location of the damage is as conspicuous as a black spot on a white paper. The moonlight barrier around this castle itself is unstable, but this instability will continue to the shuttle. You may need some time to get used to it."

After Benjamin explained in detail, he looked at Esther's pocket: "Do you have anything else on you?"

A timid "squeaking" sound came from Esther's pocket, and the bat stuck out half of its head and stared at Benjamin in horror.

Esther immediately comforted it in a low voice: "It's okay, don't be so scared, Benjamin just looks a little weird, but in fact he is a good person..."

Benjamin stared at Esther, looked at her in silence for several seconds, and then looked away with difficulty. Someone would actually use the word "good person" to evaluate him. This is really true since he became an independent clone. It was the first time he received such a comment.

Haha, good guy? I don’t know if Ontology likes this evaluation. Benjamin thought mockingly to himself, and while Esther was comforting the bat, he raised his right hand to adjust his glasses.

Benjamin's eyes stopped slightly, and then he shouted: "Esther."

"What's wrong?" The bat had calmed down. When Esther heard her name, she raised her head and looked at Benjamin.

"It shouldn't have left the castle." Benjamin said softly, his tone unexpectedly soft.

The bat screamed even more horrified, as if afraid that the two would send it back again. Esther put her fingers on its head. Soon the bat's voice lowered and calmed down again under her gentle touch. Come down.

Esther shook her head: "I didn't want to bring it out. It wanted to come out on its own. I saw other bats, but they didn't stop me and it."

"That's it." Benjamin looked at the castle in the distance that occasionally roared, and said nothing more.

Esther also followed his gaze and looked over: "Are we leaving?"

"Wait until daybreak. I want to confirm the situation one last time to see if the castle can return to peace after daybreak."

Esther took another look at Benjamin and gradually smiled: "I didn't expect you to have such concerns. If there is a problem with this castle, should we notify the official Beyonder? Lest it harm others. ."

Benjamin looked back at her strangely: "No, I will sell this news for a small price at the party tonight to see if any fool is willing to die and appease Marquis Kelar's anger."

Silence is the best way to communicate when you are speechless.

The red moon converged its light and dropped toward the sky. When the first ray of sunlight shone down, Esther couldn't help but squint her eyes and take a deep breath.

The bat in her pocket suddenly screamed with joy, and Esther had to reach out her hand to help it crawl out of the pocket.

As the bat kept trying to lift itself up, Esther understood its thoughts and simply raised both hands high, holding the bat above its head so that it could clearly see across the clouds and towards the direction. The sunshine of the earth.

The bat spread its wings high, and in the sunlight, its body began to disintegrate, and the ashes were blown away by a breeze. Esther's hand shook slightly, but she did not change her movements.

As more and more sunlight penetrated the bat's body, a black smoke dissipated in the air. Esther raised her hand, and the last remaining ash in her palm was taken away by the warm wind.

It might just be an illusion, but Esther always felt like she heard a "thank you".

Esther stared blankly at the sun, which would leave a stinging black hole in her retinas but not really hurt her. As long as she closed her eyes, everything would be fine.

So Esther wiped the ashes off her hands and closed her eyes:

"Benjamin, you know more about the extraordinary world than I do. Can ordinary people and extraordinary people really go to the kingdom of gods after they die?"

"I don't know, I have no faith anymore," Benjamin replied with a smile.

He was still staring in the direction of the castle, watching the blood moon disappear in the sunlight. The castle gradually fell back to the ground, all the plants withered and dissolved in the air, and everything returned to a desolate ruin.

"I wonder where I will go after I die?"

Benjamin adjusted his glasses and said expressionlessly: "If you are curious, I can help you and let you stay in the form of extraordinary items."

Esther looked at him blankly, and Benjamin looked serious.

However, things failed to meet expectations again, and Benjamin did not receive her anger.

Esther looked at him like that, first she chuckled softly, and then she laughed loudly. Looking at the way she was holding her stomach, she almost burst into tears.

Her laughter shone with the sunshine.

Time goes back a few hours to nightfall on June 5th.

Backlund, 160 Berklund Street.

Today is Sunday. Since Sunday and night are both symbols of the "Night Goddess", the cathedral often holds high mass on Sunday evening. Afterwards, many servants will be busy for a period of time and then rest after cleaning.

Klein has already made a divination and planned to let "Magic Mirror" Arrodes stay in the room in his place and continue to impersonate Dwayne Dantès. And he will take the risk to sneak into St. Samuel's Church, find a way to get in touch with the Antigonus family's notebook, and find the formula for the "Magician".

After giving Miss Magician protection over the full moon, Klein returned to the gray mist, summoned Arrods, and told it to watch the illusion and deal with accidents.

The skylark that was squatting on the monopod suddenly moved and flew straight towards Klein, trying to get under his clothes.

"No, absolutely not!" Klein rarely spoke to this skylark in such a stern tone. "What I am going to do tonight is very dangerous. If you follow me, you will definitely be discovered."

Skylark chirped a few times aggrievedly, but because he was completely held by Klein, there was no way to break free.

After being put back on the monopod by Klein, Skylark looked at him with reluctance and let out a very subtle chirp.

Klein shook his head again: "Absolutely not. You stay here and wait for me to come back, understand? This is not a discussion, this is an order."

Skylark shouted even more sadly, then lowered his head in frustration, burying his head under his wings and no longer looking at Klein.

This is the "discipline method" that Arrods taught Klein. As long as Skylark is clearly informed of the mandatory nature of the "order", it will be completely unable to disobey Klein's words.

Klein once asked Arrods why he knew it, but Arrods said proudly: "Because serving the greatest master of the spirit world is an honor we should have! It and the light behind it The same is true for you!"

Klein couldn't pursue the question any longer. He felt that this theory was useless when it came to Esther, and he didn't have enough control over Zoya right now.

Klein transformed into the appearance of Gehrman Sparrow, hiding the appearance of the "squirming hunger" on his left palm. His figure quickly faded and he "traveled" to the other end of Paisfield Street.

He found a hiding corner in the square and waited for a suitable opportunity.

In Dawn's bedroom, the skylark named "Norns" didn't stay quiet for long. When it noticed that Klein really left and didn't turn back, it raised its head and looked around again, and then looked at Arold on the bed. Si called out in a low voice.

Strangely, there seemed to be no communication barrier between Arrodes and Norns. Its lazy voice sounded from the mirror, completely lacking the flattery and positivity it showed when facing Klein:

"Want to ask a question? Yes, now I have answered a question for you. Do you know my rules? One question is replaced by another. Who is your master?"

Knowns was silent for two seconds and made a short sound of reluctance.

"Zoya, it is indeed like this. Your main body only wants to escape from the responsibility of serving the Lord of the Spirit World. You are a complete traitor. I have known it for a long time..."

Before Arolds could continue his resentful thoughts, Norns interrupted him with a gentle murmur.

Arrodes listened carefully, and after a moment, he replied in Dawn's voice: "As far as the current situation is concerned, it is impossible. Even I can't see what happened before everything, you and you All subjects should be able to understand this expression. If you want to unravel the relationship between Him and your subject, you must start from the root, and that is something that only the Lord of the Spirit World can fully control, and it is a deeper connection."

Knowns lowered his head, looking even sadder than before when Klein refused to take it.

Of course, Arrodes would not care about the lark's mood, and carried out its usual question and answer indifferently: "Now it's my turn to ask, who is the lady who is currently active in the real world?"

Norns was silent for a while before calling out in a low voice, sounding quite reluctantly.

However, after this answer, neither Skylark nor Arrodes communicated with each other again.

The hour hand turns and the night continues.

Klein pretended to be a servant and sneaked into St. Samuel's Cathedral. When he passed Leonard, he was still sweating in his heart.

Fortunately, the "thief" parasitic on Leonard did not react, and Klein successfully got into the Chanis Gate and headed underground.

However, just when he felt the call and found the Antigonus family notebook, before Klein could take the risk and rush to grab the notebook, a hooded figure with a beautiful face was already standing at the door.

Like a pencil drawing erased by an eraser, Klein was sent away by the "hidden" power. (End of chapter)
