Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Although Amon lurking in Backlund was successfully eliminated according to the plan, the matter is not over yet.

Klein did not take out the Skylark from his pocket. Instead, after Leonard and Palles flew out of the "hidden" range, he returned to the bathroom of his master bedroom, boarded the gray fog and scanned Berklund Street again. Especially the house of Representative Macht.

No traces of Amon's clone were seen, which comforted Klein's heavy heart a little. However, Hazel, who had been threatened by Amon out of fun, has now completely suffered a mental breakdown and may die at any time. out of control.

This cannot continue.

So Klein quickly found the "Justice" of the "Loon Charitable Student Fund" located on Paisfield Street, hoping that Miss Audrey Hall could help Hazel and calm her down, or simply forget about her. Remove everything that happened before.

Fortunately, Klein acted quickly enough, and Audrey was already the "manipulator" of Sequence Six. It couldn't be smoother for her to calm Hazel's mental state.

But this time, Audrey could only temporarily close Hazel's memory, and slowly guide the poor Macht family to remember it in the future, so as not to directly lose control the next time she was stimulated.

After promising the "Luck Stealer" spell as a reward for this help, Audrey did not stay long. After some chatting to calm her mind, Klein sent "Justice" back to her original place.

Because "Justice" left a psychological implication, it didn't take long for the people who had been parasitized in the Macht family to subconsciously and devoutly pray to the goddess of the night.

The small link bugs coughed up by some of them were covered up by illusions by the marionettes arranged by Klein the moment they landed on the ground, and then they were all brought back to him.

Klein looked at the nine "Insects of Time" on the table and finally couldn't delay any longer - it was time for him to confirm the status of the Norns in his pocket.

When Klein held the skylark out, he even distracted himself to suppress his trembling hands, and a cold sense of calm emerged in his heart, almost diluting his sadness.

The body of the little bird completely lost its temperature, its stiff wings clung tightly to its sides, its fur returned to brown and black, and its feather tufts completely dimmed. Its eyes were still open, but inside there was only a gray that was no longer agile.

Klein's spiritual intuition was suddenly touched. He turned his eyes away from Skylark with difficulty and saw the ascetic leader opposite the coffee table, wearing a simple linen robe and a bark belt, standing barefoot on the carpet.

"Good afternoon, Your Highness Arianna."

The lady with loose black hair had a quiet expression and nodded slightly. His gaze passed over the worms of time lined up in a row and landed on the lifeless skylark.

Klein subconsciously tightened his fingers: "Thanks to your help, we successfully eliminated Amon's clone in Backlund. You can choose your share from these trophies."

Arianna's eyes stayed on Norns for two more seconds before tapping her chest four times clockwise and giving a pious response: "Praise the goddess."

However, He did not directly take away the Worm of Time, but asked: "If it is the skylark, plus the bone sword in your hand, it is enough to exchange for the magic potion formula needed for your promotion. This is what the goddess told me, A clear revelation.”

Klein's pupils dilated slightly. Whether it was due to psychological effects or spiritual intuition, he vaguely felt some kind of superior sight overlooking him.

God's favor is paid, and God's favor is hard to deny.

This feeling of being pushed forward on the chessboard made Klein's throat surge and he tasted a hint of bitterness. He never expected that the deal with the goddess of the night would be waiting for him here. Klein was not surprised that the goddess knew the whereabouts of the bone sword.

But why does she want to take Norns away?

As if to give the hesitant Klein another push, Arianna continued: "If you want, you can even exchange for the permission to borrow 'that notebook'."

Klein's lips moved, but he slowly shook his head and said, "I need to think about it, I..."

"This transaction will be conducted under the witness of the goddess. All you need to do is to sacrifice the things involved to the goddess."

Klein was silent for another two seconds: "Can the goddess... help it?"

The "it" of course refers to Norns.

Although Arianna didn't know the inside story, she did know the answer to this question: "Yes, but the prerequisite for this help is to let it enter the goddess' kingdom."

Klein remained silent until he sighed and the light returned to his eyes: "Thank you, Your Highness Arianna, I need some time to think about this matter."

After that, Arianna did not persuade further, but raised her hand, and two insects of time flew up from the table and fell into his palm.

"Amon may have a guess, so be careful."

After leaving this brief reminder, Arianna's figure seemed to be erased by an invisible eraser and disappeared into the air inch by inch.

Klein held the lark in his hand tightly. It was so light that it seemed like it would fly away at any time.

It's really unaccustomed to such a quiet Norns.

——

However, unexpectedly, a few days later, Klein got some good news from an unexpected place.

Through "travel", Klein visited Dr. Allen's home without anyone noticing.

He came here mainly to bring the reward for remotely assisting him in expelling Amon's clone to the Speaker of the Life School.

It was already late at night outside the window, a crimson moon like a grapefruit hung far away in the sky, and the house was silent.

The maid in charge of taking care of the baby room lives next door. This is a specially prepared children's room next to the master bedroom, and no one else is there.

The baby who had had a special premonition for a long time did not fall asleep, and was very awake as if he had suffered from insomnia. But he didn't make any noise or fuss. He just stared at the ceiling with his round eyes and smacked his thumbs from time to time.

Until a figure was quickly outlined. Klein Moretti, wearing a silk top hat and a double-breasted windbreaker, walked out and took off his hat in the direction of the black cradle.

Then Klein smiled and said, "Good evening."

In the cradle, Will Ascetin Kress turned his head and supported his upper body with his white and tender hands covered with baby fat. The baby, who had just been born, reluctantly sat up on the edge of the cradle and stuck out half of his head.

This is already a lot of activity for him now, so Will Auceptin's face turned red: "I hope you didn't bring new trouble here."

Klein couldn't help but smile bitterly: "In your eyes, am I someone who can easily cause trouble?"

"Although I have seen the turn of fortune, in the time we have known each other, you have always come to me with trouble." Will Auceptin curled his lips and shook his hair with only a very thin layer of hair from side to side. Little head, "I just want to spend a quiet and beautiful childhood..."

"Strictly speaking, it is childhood. At least you have to wait until you can walk on your own before it is considered childhood." Klein said this, and then before Will Asceptin became dissatisfied, he took out the two he made. Talisman.

The baby was originally looking forward to a souvenir, but when he saw that there was no ice cream, his face was full of disappointment. But soon, those eyes widened with desire: "Hey, you made it?"

Klein nodded and placed the charm in the cradle: "The success of the 'Yesterday Reappearance' charm is not very efficient. I have to recover for a few days. But if you need it, we can continue to trade in the future."

A smile appeared on Will Asceptin's face, and he grabbed the charm with his fleshy arm. After rubbing it twice, he looked at Klein again: "So you didn't bring ice cream?"

Klein hesitated to speak and looked at the baby. After a long while, he shook his head helplessly: "Okay, I will visit Dr. Allen this weekend and I will bring you ice cream then."

Will Auceptin stared at Klein for a few seconds and suddenly said: "The light around you has dimmed."

In the dim room, the smile on Klein's face almost dissolved into the darkness: "I think I may have lost a friend."

"That is the subordinate power of light. During that battle, it almost gave me all its power. That was not actually an agreement between us, but I am very grateful and I need to thank it."

Will Asceptin paused for a moment and repeated: "And it's only dimmed."

Klein heard something different this time: "Wait a minute, you mean 'fades', not 'disappears'? In other words..."

Will Auceptin's next words lit up the tiny hope in Klein's heart.

"Of course it will not disappear. The dependence of light is constant. The skylark is just a container for easy movement. It consumes all the power of the light and only needs to be supplemented by the same kind."

Will Auceptin sniffed: "You should have your own way of doing this without my help."

Klein certainly knew what he could do, but before that, he thought that Norns would never wake up. Facing Skylark's breathless body, the concept of "death" kept lingering in his mind.

At this moment, Klein also suddenly remembered what Ms. Arianna said before, "The prerequisite for this help is to let it enter the goddess' kingdom."

Now it seems that it is not necessarily the kingdom of the goddess of the night. The kingdom of "The Fool" also has that strange light.

Following the instructions given by Will Auceptin, Klein immediately had an idea - he could use the light spots in the light ball on the gray fog to replenish Norns' completely exhausted power.

Will this reawaken it?

Klein smiled again, and the gloom dissipated from his eyes: "Thank you, this news is very important to me."

"Just think of it as thanking it for giving me a little help, um, you're welcome." The baby yawned, "Okay, I'm still growing, so I need to make sure I get enough sleep. Don't disturb me so late next time... …”

Klein smiled and pressed his hat, activated his "travel" ability, and his figure disappeared in the corner. (End of chapter)
