Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Deep in the gray mist, there is a mysterious space that Klein has not yet fully entered. There are several huge stairs leading to higher places, emitting a light similar to Zoya's, but the distance of the stairs cannot allow Klein took a step further, approaching the end of the gray mist.

Holding the ball of light in his hand, he stepped onto the first step in front of him.

In the translucent seal, the light flickered slightly. Klein continued to walk forward. There was no change in the next two steps until he climbed to the fourth step. The light ball gradually lit up, but as Klein Stop and it becomes dim again.

Klein quickly climbed up the fifth step. He could only see an almost transparent outline in the thick gray fog ahead.

But just one level of tall stairs cut off his path like a chasm, making it impossible for Klein to explore what the deep blue-black place was.

The ball of light in his hand began to shine. Klein raised it towards the gray fog on the opposite side. The ball of light left his palm tremblingly and flew into the depths of the gray fog.

Klein frowned and observed for a moment. Just when he was about to turn around and leave, a soft light surged in the depths of the gray fog. Although it was quickly covered by a thicker gray fog, Klein could still see clearly for a moment. :

Thin filaments like a water curtain spread behind a group of suspended objects, briefly reflecting the silhouettes of those objects.

They looked like hanging sachets or pendulums hanging from silk threads. Klein didn't know what those things were.

He looked up at the end of the steps for a few more minutes, but saw no further changes.

Klein quickly returned to the gray fog hall, and he materialized the citrine pendulum. However, no matter what he asked about, as long as it was about divination related to Esther, the pendulum remained motionless.

Even if he had expected such a result, Klein could not help but feel disappointed. He had no choice but to leave here first.

The previous attempt to gather the light of the gray mist seal had consumed a lot of his spiritual energy, and there was nothing Klein could do if he stayed here.

That light ball has a way to repair itself. What stimulation did Zoya receive? The things behind the steps should be very important, and the materials for the "Cunning Mage" must be collected as soon as possible.

Klein had a hunch that as long as he was promoted again, he would be able to further explore that mysterious space and come into contact with some of the truth behind the gray fog.

After returning to the real world, Klein immediately turned to the monopod in the bedroom.

Perhaps frightened by his sudden movement towards him, Norns, who had been staring at Klein quietly before, gave a timid cry and took off directly, circling twice in Dawn's bedroom before landing towards him. Klein's outstretched hand.

"There was something abnormal just now. Your owner is wrong." Klein realized that compared to Esther, he was clearly the owner of Norns. "Can your body be described like this? She is now Didn't something happen?"

Knowns looked at Klein blankly, chirped twice, and shook his head.

Klein barely understood what Skylark meant, and it didn't know either.

"Is she in danger now? Is she in a life-threatening situation?" Klein tried to get more information from Norns. He firmly believed that this skylark had a special connection with Esther.

Knowns closed his eyes, and Klein saw that its pale yellow feathers shone slightly, and soon returned to their original state.

After Norns opened his eyes, he jumped hard on Klein's hand twice and let out a lighter chirp.

Klein was confused. His "Skylark" was not rich enough to understand such complicated things: "Is this dangerous or not?"

Knowns hesitated for two seconds, nodded, then lowered his head and began to lick Klein's finger.

"Her life is not in danger, but did she encounter a situation that made her uncomfortable?"

Klein's guess was confirmed, because Knowns chirped happily, then looked at him obediently, without giving any other hints.

Putting the skylark back on the shelf, Klein sighed.

He originally expected Norns to give an accurate revelation, but he didn't know whether it was because the distance was too far, or whether the connection between the skylark and Esther was not as close as he had guessed.

The Holy Emblem of Darkness was still lying in his safe.

Not life-threatening...

Klein sat in the easy chair, pondering for a moment, and suddenly remembered that he had another choice.

Drawing a mixed symbol of "peeping" and "secret" on the paper, Klein looked at the full-length mirror. Deeper turmoil emerged in the flow of water, revealing the white Rune text:

"Dear supreme great master, your most loyal and humble servant Arrods is here. I am extremely honored and relieved to receive your call again!"

The more he communicated with Arrods, the more Klein became accustomed to this kind of unrestricted flattery.

Before Klein spoke, new words were displayed on the mirror: "Do you have any questions to ask me?"

"Yes. I wonder where Esther is now?"

Klein avoided the direct danger Esther might face and chose a more indirect way to inquire.

The silver text squirmed, showing a shimmering scene. After more than ten seconds, another string of text reappeared:

"I'm so sorry, noble master! I can't go any further beyond the boundaries of 'light', this is all I can observe."

"However, there is another influence on her side. We cannot mention it or investigate it, otherwise the other party will discover it."

Such a subtle reminder was enough for Klein - "Everything that is said must be known."

Klein took a deep breath: "Is there any way you can inform or warn her of the danger of the current situation?"

The handwriting on the mirror became scrawled and confusing, almost showing an expression of mourning: "I'm sorry, your humble servant can't do it..."

Klein didn't speak for several seconds. It wasn't until he stabilized the various thoughts in his mind that he looked at the mirror again. The silver lines on it were twisting uneasily.

"You can ask your questions."

"Great Master, do you want to continue sleeping tonight?"

Klein shook his head: "No."

He still has a lot of distracting thoughts to sort out, because this matter involves some special beings. He will feel more at ease after he regains his spirituality through meditation and thinks about Klein in the gray fog.

The waves of light flowed on the full-length mirror, and new words appeared again:

"Allow your humble and loyal servant to say 'good morning' to you!"

——

In a certain church.

Even when she lowered her head in sleep, Esther kept holding on to the wooden box on her knees. Out of the instinct to grab something, she hugged it tightly.

The light spots hovering throughout the church also came to a standstill along with her.

Adam looked up at the quiet points of light. When they were too close, they would directly merge into one, but they would naturally split into smaller individuals. The essence of the light was not life, but was endowed with a similarity to "living things". action mode.

But their essence remains—aggregation and separation.

Even if Zoya is too weak to maintain a complete form for a long time, she still falls into the cycle of reincarnation.

Adam has been staring at the many lights, and there is not even a look of thinking in his peaceful eyes, but the smile under his beard is gone, and there is even a little bit of sighing emotion.

He sat on a bench some distance away from Esther. The light spots that separated from Esther began to tremble again, but in the end they just continued to float above without any new changes.

"Zoya..."

Adam's eyes gradually turned into pale gold vertical thin pupils. He closed his eyes and weaved a grander dream for the sleeping person.

The church door made a sound, opened a crack, and then quickly closed after the visitor walked in.

The young man wearing a black robe and a pointed hat raised his head, looked at the light spots scattered throughout the church, and walked slowly through it.

Those light spots spontaneously dispersed when Amon approached, as if he was subconsciously afraid of something. In addition to curiosity, there was also a hint of surprise in his smile.

Instinctively, he activated his "stealing" ability, trying to steal some of the light points so that he could analyze and destroy the protective means left by Zoya.

However, after a ray of light passed through his monocle, Amon's smile deepened. The "stolen" light spot was directly dissolved, and was directly swallowed by the uniqueness of the "stealer" he controlled. Nothing remained at all. When it comes down, it is like fine salt falling into the water, and it is invisible in the blink of an eye.

"You are really targeting me..." Amon stopped smiling and walked towards the seats in the front row of the church.

He sat between Esther and Adam and turned his head to look at Adam: "I really don't understand how its mental state remains stable? Zoya uses a 'contract' to restrain the desire to aggregate, but it... …”

"It would be better if you correct this title. It will be more conducive to improving the relationship between the two of you." Adam did not open his eyes, but gave a gentle persuasion.

"Really? I don't think it's really human."

Amon said this and looked at the silver-haired lady on the other side. After the light spots faded, the silver-haired Esther had no resemblance to Zoya.

She is closer to humans, which is what makes Amon feel most uncomfortable. Just looking at Esther's appearance, which was unfamiliar to him and familiar to several clones, seemed to remind Amon of those past events that were left behind in the old era.

Whenever he thought of it, a very cold anger would emerge in his heart.

As if he knew what Amon was thinking, Adam's voice sounded: "If you want to destroy her, I have to remind you first that Zoya is already very weak."

Amon's voice was very low, more like talking to himself: "Wouldn't it be more interesting to destroy His last hope?"

Adam's right hand covered the cross on his chest: "The closer we are to the end of the world, the closer we are to the end of choosing the 'Lord of Mysteries', the weaker his 'fate' will be. If you destroy this hope, No matter who becomes the 'Secret' in the end, Zoya can only truly return to a part of Origin Castle."

Amon said nothing.

"Why don't you approve of Esther?"

Amon raised his lips again: "Because everything about it is so false. Zoya can deceive others, but she can't deceive me." (End of Chapter)
