Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

The log-colored confessional disappeared behind Klein. He breathed a long sigh of relief, glanced at the gray fog floating around, and walked back to the long bronze table in the center of the hall.

He walked past the high-backed chairs belonging to members of the Tarot Society, and finally sat on the "god"'s seat.

Klein pondered for a moment and regained his composure.

The light ball floated in front of him again, and Klein gently tapped its shell: "New target..."

His guess about "Li Xing" has not yet been confirmed, which means there are still different possibilities.

As for why they "traveled" and what the gray fog here has to do with everyone's "traveling", Klein knew that he still had many questions that he didn't get answers to.

Now he can only approach the door, but cannot touch or completely step into it. Even just observing it will make Klein feel that his spirit body is unstable. This is probably related to his sequence.

Continuing to search for more powerful extraordinary power and collecting clues related to it are all things he can do now.

Take it step by step.

The short-term goal is to focus on the truth behind the Backlund smog, and also to find clues to Esther's departure...

Thinking of this, Klein raised his hand and flew out the "Pale Bone Nail" from the pile of debris on the gray fog. Because he knew that it was something related to the "God of Death", he did not perform dream divination to find out the source. , just simply divined the function of this bone sword.

When it absorbed Ince Zangwill's soul, its power also changed further, but its negative effects were also enhanced. It actually had the effect of transforming all surrounding creatures into undead. I really don't know what Esther was before. How to suppress it.

However, this thing is of little use to Klein. He already has "Death Knell" and "Creeping Hunger". The bone sword's effect of absorbing spiritual bodies requires contact with the target.

Being able to make deals with the goddess may be the greatest use of the "Pale Bone Nail" in Klein's hands.

Klein raised his hand again, and another object flew out from the pile of debris.

That's a letter.

He frowned and stared at the letter for a long time, without opening it and taking another look. After all, he had already remembered what was written in the letter.

Klein raised his head and looked at the ball of light indifferently: "Is it for Zhou Mingrui because I can make better use of it?"

Of course, the ball of light, which had lost its main consciousness, did not give an answer.

Klein threw everything back into the debris pile and left the palace above the gray mist.

He opened his eyes from the sofa and saw Skylark squatting on his knees. Knowns raised his head in panic and chirped.

Seeing Skylark's vivid eyes, a suppressed smile appeared on Klein's pale face.

"I'm fine," Klein said in a hoarse voice. He held Skylark in his hand and placed it casually on his shoulder. Then he stood up and poured himself a glass of water. "At least there's nothing wrong now."

While he was drinking water, Knowns moved dishonestly and grabbed his hair twice, as if to confirm Klein's condition.

When Klein was pouring the second glass of water, an illusory prayer suddenly sounded in his ears. He put down the water glass in surprise and climbed back onto the gray mist.

In the hall, a new crimson star was flashing, making a slightly familiar voice of a young man.

——

A few minutes ago, a hotel somewhere in East Balam.

Daley leaned on Dunn's shoulder, and the two sat on the sofa in the small guest room, cuddling together. Dai Li had been feeling groggy. Dunn held her cold hand and gently rested his head on the side of Dai Li's black hair. His deep eyes made it difficult to tell what he was thinking.

Dai Li came back to her senses from her half-asleep state. After she opened her eyes, she sighed softly.

"What's wrong?" Dunn asked immediately, "Do you want me to help you get some snacks? Or can I make a pot of hot tea?"

Dai Li buried her face on Dunn's shoulder, spread her delicate white fingers, and placed her hand on Dunn's wrist. Then again and again, she tapped Dunn's palm with her index finger, as if counting herself. Heartbeat: "Nothing, I'm not thirsty."

"You don't sound very good." Dunn said very bluntly. He slowly squeezed Daley's fingers to stop her meaningless movements, and then the two of them held their hands together.

Dai Li nodded: "I was afraid because of my impulse at that moment..."

Her voice was also trembling, so Dunn adjusted his sitting position so that he could hold Dai Li into his arms: "It's okay, I am too, I am also feeling scared."

There was a hint of reproach in Dunn's words.

Dai Li heard it, and she wanted to say something else, but she just made a slight whimper. She buried her head lower, feeling the warmth surrounding her shoulders. Her lover hugged her firmly with his arms, as if to keep her troubles away.

They stayed in this position for a long time, until a tear stained Dunn's shirt.

Dai Li smelled a faint smell of tobacco, and her eyes turned redder, but there was a smile in her eyes, which slightly diluted her sadness: "Did you secretly smoke again?"

After being silent for a while, Dunn cleared his throat: "Ahem, there must be a little residual smell from the pipe... You know, I always carry it with me."

Dai Li did not reveal his cunning avoidance of the topic, but sighed softly again. After a few seconds, she raised her head from Dunn's arms with red eyes: "I had a nightmare."

Dunn raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Daley's cheek: "It was just a nightmare, I'm still here."

"I know." Dai Li sat up straight, put her hands around Dunn's ears, hugged his head tightly, and looked into those eyes, "But such a dream is too real. Without you by my side, Maybe I will..."

Just like in the dream, she would simply give up and continue living.

In the Tingen incident in the dream, Dunn was not a survivor, but a victim.

After waking up from the dream where the light was scattered, Dai Li was also filled with regret and remorse for losing Dunn. The stronger resentment, resentment and murderous intention towards Ince Zangwill penetrated the illusory dream. , truly present in her heart.

Dai Li had never shed tears in front of Dunn, but now she couldn't help it. She was afraid that the next second, Dunn's figure would become illusory, and she would wake up from another dream, and then she would find out There was nothing on his hands - no wedding, no groom, no day when they made their vows to the goddess.

Dunn patted Daley's back gently, placed a kiss on her cheek, and whispered: "Your nightmare is over, dear Mrs. Smith. If you need it, I can say that I will not leave you, I can tell you I love you over and over again, ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, or more, until you feel at ease."

"You are here." Dai Li's choked voice could not be suppressed and kept spilling out from between her teeth.

Dunn hugged Daley tightly, letting her head rest on his shoulder, listening to her intermittent sobs in his ears: "Yes, I am here, always here."

He looked at the trembling person in front of him tenderly, never letting go of his hand, and Dai Li's sobs gradually became lower.

Just when Dunn thought she fell asleep again, Dai Li lowered her head and murmured: "I'm sorry..."

Dunn held up her face: "I almost lost you this time, so we are even, and we don't need to mention it again, okay?"

Dai Li's eyes were red and she said "Yeah" guiltily.

Suddenly, Dai Li turned around, and the next second, there was a knock on the door outside.

Dai Li's frown gradually relaxed: "It seems to be... Your Excellency, 'Eye of the Goddess'."

Dunn smiled and patted the back of her hand: "Go and tidy up, and I'll open the door."

——

The other "Red Gloves" player did not have any companions beside him. In the room next door with a similar layout, Leonard was the only one.

He had just sent His Excellency "Eye of the Goddess" out, and the two had a brief conversation. Due to his status, Leonard was the one who listened most of the time.

He was shocked to learn that the Holy Church had classified the matter of Klein Moretti as the highest level of confidentiality, and asked all the insiders at the scene not to spread the word about this matter, and to treat the young Nighthawk as his own. All lie in their graves.

This attitude made Leonard realize that the Holy Church might have known about the relationship between Gehrman Sparrow and Klein Moretti much earlier, and the goddess had been watching everything.

But what "Eye of the Goddess" Ilia said later left Leonard confused. What does "act as you please, the goddess will not interfere" mean?

Then Ilia told Leonard that they would have another day of rest tomorrow before the "Red Glove" team would return to Backlund collectively.

If I do as I please, should I seek the answer from another person?

Since the goddess has always been paying attention to Klein, I am afraid that the goddess also knows about Klein following "The Fool".

The black-haired young man put his hands in his pockets and stood by the window worriedly, but his green eyes were unfocused and looked very blank.

This melancholic demeanor, coupled with his already handsome appearance, made Leonard even more "poet" in temperament.

Although there is an easy chair next to him, he has been unable to sit down safely. He can only repeat the process of sitting down and getting up, occasionally wandering a few steps in the room, and stopping at a place where he can see the scenery outside the window.

It’s just that there’s nothing good to see outside the window. Leonard’s bedroom faces a dusty wall. The house next door is built too close, and the viewing angle of his guest room is not very good.

To pray or not to pray, that is the question.

Leonard patted his chest, but there was no answer, and then he called the old man in a low voice for a long time, but there was no response.

"Follow your heart..."

Leonard gritted his teeth and decided to recite the honorable name that he had heard several times. Klein said that if you want to ask for help or solve a problem, you can communicate with the mysterious unorthodox god - Klein will never Harm him!

So Leonard took a deep breath and read in ancient Hermes:

"The Fool who does not belong to this era, the mysterious master above the gray fog, the yellow and black king who controls good luck..." (End of this chapter)
