Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

"Anyway, it was just an accident, Mr. Rodriguez."

Klein said with a smile, handed his finger to Norns, and let him peck it several times, letting Skylark vent his inner dissatisfaction.

Anyway, it only hurts so much when Norns pecks people. Klein has long been used to it. It's better than pulling out people's hair.

After all, it was Klein who asked Norns to follow him at the beginning, but unexpectedly, Nornes misunderstood Klein's words and "focused" on the man too directly, which ended up causing such an own mistake.

Klein's marionette had been following and observing in the dark, and when the flames ignited, they almost took action and directly grabbed the opponent's spiritual body thread. But when he saw the strange man fighting Norns with his windbreaker, he decided to continue observing.

Finally, after hearing the "devil's" prayer, Klein responded to the prayer, and then returned to the real world, swapped places with the marionette, and rushed to the hotel.

Skylark let out two more aggrieved screams before An Anxin lay down on Klein's shoulder, and stubbornly turned his head to the side. He no longer looked at "Dawn" or "Pascal" at all. He was obviously very angry with both of them. .

"It's okay, but I took some measures to deal with its tracking. I hope you don't mind."

Barnabas stared blankly, even if he was the one being followed, and now that he had the connection of being a follower of "The Fool", he had no idea, let alone the courage, to ask for compensation for "mental losses" from the other party.

This is naturally a strange word invented by Emperor Russell.

This Mr. Dwayne Dantès is a certain identity shared by the Fool’s Favorites at the Tarot Meeting. The Devil also participated in that meeting. He even had some doubts as to whether the person in front of him was that person. A well-known "Pirate Killer".

Banabei didn't understand the formula of "Cunning Mage", and he joined after Klein was promoted to "Secret Puppet Master". He only had a guess about the sequence of "World", and he didn't know that the other party was the same as himself. As a "divineer".

Klein nodded: "I have to thank you for not hurting Norns further. This child's temper is not very good."

You also know that it has a bad temper, right? Isn't it the result of your arrogance and indulgence?

While Banabei was cursing in his heart, he smiled politely on the surface: "Lively, it's good. It doesn't seem to be an ordinary sparrow."

"It's a lark, and it has something to do with that one."

Barnabas glanced at Norns thoughtfully. The skylark was staring at him secretly, as if full of thoughts of attacking him: "In this case, No. 6 is also the favored one of that one? This skylark seems to be like She has some connections.”

Tarot card number six is ​​"Lovers".

Klein was a little surprised. He didn't expect the "devil" to easily associate Norns with Esther: "You are very perceptive, but this matter is very complicated. If you have the chance, you can ask her yourself."

Barnabas scratched his chin and felt that the person in front of him was not necessarily "The World", because "The World" who attended the meeting on time every time must have known that "The Lover" had been absent from the Tarot meeting for two consecutive weeks.

The Secret Puppet who looks exactly like Banabei now has made two cups of black tea and placed them in their hands. Banabei picked up the teacup: "I haven't seen her for a long time, including the one who was full of thoughts in our meeting. The mushy 'thief' didn't even leave any contact information."

Klein didn't agree with Banabei's description, but he just sighed: "Her messenger has even lost contact. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is best not to see her..."

Thinking of the state of Esther and Zoya, Klein lowered his voice and then decisively changed the subject: "I have heard something about your goal of coming to Backlund."

"...It seems that 'The World' has also shared a lot of news with you? I really can't believe that that cold gentleman would be so gossipy."

Klein did not admit or deny, but just used a smile to deflect the probing words.

"Devil" has quite a bad character. Except for the newly joined "Moon" and "Judgement", the other members of the Tarot Club are all aware of it, and of course Klein will not take it to heart.

What is being mocked is "the world", does it have anything to do with me, Dwayne Dantès?

Banabei raised his tea cup to the other party again: "So you came to me just to take away your little eyeliner?"

Before Knowns' overreaction, Klein nodded his head: "Don't be angry, I will buy you some compensation on the way back. How about Dixi's fruit pie?"

The skylark's mouth opened and closed, and then finally closed. It raised its head high towards Banabei, as if it didn't bother to argue with him.

Barnabas whistled at the man across from him: "I bet you're good at coaxing children."

"My child is more obedient, if she trusts someone." Klein replied casually, "I came to you, of course, because I have a purpose. Especially after confirming your identity, I don't think we have anything to do with it." It’s a rare place to work together.”

"Oh? But according to what another lady revealed, isn't Mr. Dantès a new nobleman from Backlund?" Barnabas turned his arms back and rested them on the back of the chair casually, "Then do it like this with me. A mercenary wandering the sea, it seems that he has nothing to do with it."

"To be honest, I also have a bit of 'history' of working hard in the Southern Continent." The emphasis in Klein's answer deliberately emphasized that he was also using a "false identity". He believed that Mr. "Devil" was suspicious and... Worrying way of thinking will not let this go.

Banabei nodded: "Then it is only natural that you help an old friend who has cooperated with us to settle in a new city."

Having said this, Barnabas couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, but before he could speak shamelessly, Klein's spirit moved.

This made Klein quickly speak before the other party: "There's not much I can do to help you, I'm just exchanging information. If you encounter a difficult situation, you'd better seek help from that person."

Barnabe's right eyebrow raised high, and he let out a disappointed sigh: "Mr. Dantès, are you so indifferent to your old friend? You are so indifferent."

Klein had a new understanding of the shamelessness of the "Devil" - the "Devil" actually stepped into the role very unceremoniously. Why did he start talking about the friendship of an old friend, an old friend who only assumed a relationship thirty seconds ago?

It was just acting. Klein was still very confident in his "Faceless Man" ability, so he looked at the opposite side with a sad face and sighed deeply:

"Well, given our relationship, just call me Dao En. Of course I don't want to see my old friend become poor and wander the streets, but if someone comes and goes frequently in the mansion, it would be too eye-catching. After all, I have a mission. "

Banabei shook the tea cup in his hand, knowing that the other party was using Mr. Fool to pressure him, but he could not refute it.

After a few seconds of silence, Banabei nodded impatiently: "Forget it, it's better to have something than nothing. Happy cooperation?"

"Happy cooperation. This is the summoning method of 'Gehrman Sparrow' messenger. It just maintains confidential communication. As for my address in Backlund, it should not be difficult for you to find out. If it is an urgent message, you can directly Leave it to that person to convey it.”

As Klein spoke, he pulled out a piece of paper with the summoning password written on it from his chest. He shook his wrist slightly, and then threw away the square piece that turned into a paper knife.

Banabei accurately grabbed the flying piece of paper, glanced down at the words on it, and stuffed the softened piece of paper into his pocket: "Then don't get into trouble because of the aristocratic circle, which will make you miserable. old friend."

"The way you care about people is very special, Pascal." Klein said with a smile.

Barnabas shrugged, then raised his chin toward the door: "Then I won't give it away."

Klein intentionally "quoted" what the "devil" said just now: "What a cold old friend."

After the marionette closed the door, Barnabas kept staring at the door with a frown. The visit of Mr. Dwayne Dantès was unexpectedly peaceful.

He seemed to have forgotten to observe Mr. Dantès with his spiritual vision. Is this thing good or bad? Maybe it should be divined?

Banabei's "lucky coin" turned around in his fingers several times, but he finally put it away. This matter involved the attitude of "The Fool", so it was better to keep a low profile.

May good luck bless you.

Klein walked leisurely back along this stretch of road, bought a few pies and more authentic sweet ice tea from a bakery he passed on the street, and packed them together back to the hotel room.

As soon as Klein poured the fruit-filled pie onto the plate, Norns couldn't wait to fly to the side, happily jumping up and down on the table, hovering around the plate and waiting for Klein to cut the pie into pieces.

After preparing his "reward" for Norns, Klein couldn't help but laugh as he watched the skylark happily chew the pieces.

He also picked up a piece of authentic Dixi fruit pie. After cooking, the hot fruit pulp exuded a sweet aroma and was wrapped in a soft crust. This kind of thing is more like a dessert than for use. A filling staple.

Klein picked up another piece, which was a "pork and apple" pie that was more to his taste. Only after arriving at Dixi Bay did he discover that the so-called "Dixi pie" actually had an astonishing variety of fillings. , but the one with a mixture of salty and sweet flavors and a meaty flavor is the most popular.

Mr. "Devil" is a very interesting person. Although he behaves very arrogantly, Klein can clearly feel some kind of disguise, just like himself - the ever-changing "faceless man" will " The devil’s true self is hidden inside.

"Devils" are more interested in making others hate the appearance than making others like them.

Klein slowly chewed the Dixie pie and watched Norns chew the food one bite after another. Every time, Klein would be confused as to where the bird had eaten everything.

I hope things will go smoothly after returning to Backlund...

Knowns raised his head and chirped at Klein.
