Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Amidst the loud noise of the window glass shattering, both Leonard and Klein sat firmly on their chairs. Although they looked equally calm, they had completely different attitudes towards the visitor.

Klein's spiritual intuition had been touched a few minutes ago, but an inexplicable sense of peace prevented him from forcing him to wake up and leave the dream, but continued talking to Leonard.

Leonard has been promoted to the Sequence Six "Requiem Master" for some time. There is no reminder from the old man in his mind in his dreams. He will never panic because of any unexpected situation, and he will just keep calm and observe the situation.

When the glass fragments flew towards the two of them, they were already under Leonard's control and turned into black sand-like ashes, slowly falling onto the carpet.

Leonard didn't mean to show off his abilities in front of "Dawn". This was purely his subconscious protective behavior as the official night watcher for a long time, giving priority to the stability around himself and the person he was talking to.

After all, he often asked ordinary citizens in his dreams. Even if there is no real harm in the dream, if the dreamer receives too much stimulation, the dream will become more emotional and it will be easy to wake up.

And what suddenly broke through the window was a young lady wearing a linen skirt and a slim waistcoat. When she raised her head, under her scattered laurel blond hair, she revealed light-colored eyes and a look that was quite similar to the Loen people. Different soft facial features.

Leonard's eyes suddenly became sharp. This was the lady he had seen at the station during the day. The old man said that she had a strange feeling on her body, and that she was even a "parasite"...

No, how did she fall into the dream? She looks very sober. Is it a magical item, or is she able to "steal" others like the old man?

Leonard stared closely at the woman, and when she looked up and saw him, she even smiled with surprise and kindness.

But she soon turned her attention to "Dawn".

Klein blinked at Esther, hoping that the fellow villager would understand his look and not expose anything related to Tingen in front of Leonard.

Esther understood. She knew that each of Klein's "pseudonyms" deliberately created a distinction in identity. She didn't know if this was related to his performance, but this did not prevent her from cooperating with the performance. Play for Leonard.

Esther patted the glass shards on her body. When the glass shards fell off, they briefly suspended in the air for a few seconds.

She could feel the illusion of this dream. Compared with when she saw the "dark night" before, the dream she was in now was like a taut string, maintaining a delicate balance between three directions.

Klein didn't have much awareness in this regard, but Leonard, as the key figure in the dream, also sensed this, which made him have a lot of doubts about the lady - even if it is a sealed object containing the "nightmare" ability, Most of them are also circulated within the Church of the Night.

Esther raised her skirt to the two of them: "Good night, gentlemen, do you mind if I join your conversation rashly?"

No, I don't mind. I just asked the key question! Leonard muttered in his mind and turned his attention to "Dawn".

Klein kept "Dawn's" comfortable smile and nodded to Esther: "I don't mind, both of you are guests. Although the time of your visit is a bit strange, I am very grateful that you chose a gentler way to visit. I, the master, have failed to provide good hospitality."

Estela pulled over the low soft stool in the room that was used to rest her feet and sat on it. Her curious eyes flickered between Leonard and Klein.

Klein didn't care and turned to Leonard again: "I haven't answered your question just yet. He wants to take revenge on the culprit of the Tingen incident. Lanerwuss, and... Ince Zangwill .”

Esther gradually sat up straight. She no longer paid attention to Leonard who was secretly observing her expression, but looked at Klein with her lips pursed.

This "he" is clearly himself...

Just hearing that name again, Esther's long-frozen memories resurfaced, along with a cold anger. Even if it wasn't for anyone else, she still wanted to do something for her own experience with Klein.

But Esther couldn't directly ask Leonard about the captain's situation. Leonard's strange eyes showed that he had completely forgotten her.

The answer Klein threw out made Leonard uncontrollably immersed in memories, and he felt dazed for a moment.

Leonard's pain will only be heavier than Esther's. When he thinks of Klein carrying his own death, constantly seeking promotion on the extraordinary road, and dealing with dangerous secret organizations outside the church, Leonard even feels sad in his heart. An indescribable trace of guilt.

"The best colleague", the black and white photo of Klein Moretti on the tombstone flashed before his eyes several times.

Leonard remembered the cumulonimbus clouds that stopped in the sky that day, the tears of his brother and sister, the heavy and pale faces of his companions, and the cough that followed the captain's hoarse sigh.

Everything was left behind, and there was silence in the coffin.

Leonard came back to his senses and tried to focus back on the two names, but before asking, he was still unhappy with the extra person next to him: "We are talking about these in front of her... Does it fit?"

Klein smiled and shook his head at Esther. Upon seeing this, Esther gave him a very gentle smile.

Klein noticed Esther's overly indifferent expression and knew that she had the same hatred for that name as he did: "As I said before, the members of our organization have their own origins and purposes, and so does this lady. . She is our trusted companion, and she has known these things for a long time."

Leonard hesitated to speak and glanced at Esther, but finally chose to ask "Dawn" about his doubts: "So, he was also in Backlund at that time, and he was the one who killed Lanerwus?"

Leonard didn't say Klein's name directly, at least he couldn't talk about that "former colleague" too frankly in front of this strange lady.

Leonard couldn't untie this knot until he saw Klein in person or received confirmation.

Klein nodded, and after two seconds of silence, he continued: "If you have a similar purpose and want to seek help, you can also recite that person's honorable name."

Leonard became wary of these missionary words. This was his instinct as an official Extraordinary. But the current situation was "one against two", so when Leonard faced "Dawn", he just resisted and remained silent.

"Also, let me tell you something to Pales Zoroastrian: A member of our organization met the 'blasphemer' Amon in the 'Land Abandoned by Gods'."

Esther raised her head and saw the flashing look in Leonard's eyes as he was thinking desperately. She couldn't help but ask: "Is that old gentleman in your body a member of the Zoroastrian family?"

"It's their ancestors," Klein added.

Esther saw Leonard looking at her and smiled again: "Then please remind him...the Jacob family has traces of being infiltrated by Amon, don't get too close to them. The Zoroastrian family There are still descendants, but the number is so thin that it’s hard to say whether there are any direct descendants. I just met them.”

Leonard looked at the lady blankly for two seconds. More thoughts flashed through his mind, but he suppressed them all: "Okay, I will convey all these words to you."

After giving Leonard another moment to think, Klein leaned on the easy chair and said, "You can go back. Don't worry, my purpose is not with the Church of the Night."

Most of the questions he was looking for had answers. Although there were some ambiguous parts, Leonard wanted to discuss it with the old man again.

According to the current situation, Dawn's identity will stay with Backlund. It would be easy for Leonard to come to him again if he wanted to, so he left decisively.

After the two of them bowed, Leonard's figure disappeared from the dream.

Klein looked at Esther: "So you are now..."

"Yes, in your bedroom." Esther replied calmly.

After Leonard left, Klein put down his arrogance as a wealthy man in "Dawn". When he heard Esther say this, the corner of his mouth twitched: "Can't you just pick a normal time to come over? You're not a 'sleepless person', so why do you have to come in the middle of the night?"

If you break into the bedroom at night, you should respect other people's privacy! Don't do whatever you want just because you are a "thief". Why are you becoming more and more willful after not seeing each other for a while...

Klein was a little lucky that the two met in a dream first, which gave him some mental preparation. His face could still hold up for this matter.

Esther didn't hear Klein's inner complaint. She was staring at the chair where Leonard had sat before: "But looking at it this way, Leonard really forgot all about it and didn't know who Zoroas was." Mr. Dejia, do you still remember? I saw Leonard at the station during the day."

"Well, he went to Tingen to dig my grave today." Klein said expressionlessly, "So he is now investigating the identities of Sherlock Moriarty and Gehrman Sparrow, and looking for Got me."

"Has it been exposed? Leonard has become smarter after being one year older?" Esther asked with a smile, her tone a little excited.

"Why are you starting to gloat?" Klein glanced at her dejectedly, "I just admitted that Herman was connected to Klein, and Dawn's identity must be concealed."

Esther nodded: "I just think it's interesting. Think about Mr. Black Emperor at that time. The World was your teacher, and you, right?"

Klein had to admit that he was a little nervous: "Well, that's all in the past. Now the 'World' is also a representative of many beloved ones, and the same is true for 'Dwayne Dantès'..."

Esther snorted softly: "I have no intention of settling the scores, but you can't keep acting, right? How tiring it is."

Klein's eyes dimmed slightly: "Maybe one day... No, it's nothing. This is also part of my digestion of potions and performance, and it will be good for me."

Tell the truth, but not candidly. Esther sighed in her heart, and her figure disappeared from the low stool, leaving Klein's dream.

Klein took a long breath and woke himself up. (End of chapter)
