Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

In the church, because the person who had been praying left here, there was no sound of chanting, and the surrounding became even quieter.

Although no candles were lit, as dusk approached, the light coming from the stained glass windows was distorted, producing mist-like ribbons, and then a piece of colored paper was scattered, casually thrown on the ground, so that the darkness would not completely obscure what the vision could capture. All objects.

On the black bench on the right side of the first row, "Esther" raised her head. She stared at the cross in front of her in a daze for a moment, as if observing whether there was any trace of a human figure there.

He really went to do other things. At least "Esther" had been observing for such a period of time, but she didn't see any shadows gathering nothingness.

She gently pushed the crow that was resting on her lap, her black pearl-like eyes rolled up and stared at her with dissatisfaction: "It's so boring here."

"Esther" held the crow's body with her hands and forced it to stand up: "I know, you..."

But as soon as she let go of her hand, Crow's body slid down softly, and with a "plop", he fell onto her dress again.

"Cheer up," "Esther" said dryly, "Please show some dignity as Amon."

"But now I am a crow, and I have lost my confidence in flying." The crow muttered, seemingly true, and rolled back and forth. "Compared with jumping all the way from this church to the Forsaken Land, I feel that here Wait until the main body comes over, and it would be better to take it back to me."

"...To be honest, your current performance is a bit too slack."

Crow's voice turned cold instantly: "Weren't you the one who deliberately revealed that matter to me?"

There was a stalemate in silence for a moment, and then "Esther" and Crow sighed slightly at the same time. "Esther" leaned back on the chair, raised her hand and pinched the center of her eyebrows hard, and the stinging feeling in her right eye became more and more intense. The more intense:

"I'm still going through an incomplete 'fusion', so you can't expect me to help you get out of here. If I use angel-level power now, there's a high probability that I'll just 'restart' you into a worm of time. Then I lose control..."

"You will eat me. If I don't have extraordinary characteristics, I will be the one who is eaten." The black crow took over the conversation nonchalantly and finished what "Esther" had not said.

"Um."

"What happens after that?"

"Esther" covered her right eye with her palm: "If the weight accumulates too much and the light is not enough to maintain balance, the corresponding will will awaken in me."

Black Crow stood up proactively, raised his head and looked at "Esther"'s hair: "Key of Light?"

"It's possible, and it could be the more dangerous party."

The crow lay back and said, "What a pathetic creature."

"Please don't use words to describe me that you use to describe yourself."

After being quiet for a while, the crow's black eyes turned around: "Why are you so incompatible with me? Especially the main body."

"There are many reasons, probably. In the past, I couldn't understand Amon. As for now, it's probably because your body can't understand my thoughts."

"Esther" slowly followed the black feathers of the crow and poked the crow's back of the head hard: "I want to remind you, the more you know, the slimmer the chance of going back."

The crow shook its head twice. In protest, it flapped its wings vigorously and shook off two feathers on "Esther":

"Then I also want to remind you that I understand 'now Adam' better than you do. Ever since I was imprisoned, there has been no possibility of me leaving here."

"Esther" frowned slightly: "I'm also a little confused, why didn't Amon come to me?"

The crow's hoarse laughter was like fine gravel rolling in his throat: "You can tell me what happened when you met, not Esther, but you, Zoya."

"Esther" suddenly raised her finger that was stroking the crow, and just froze in mid-air. A tiny spot of light condensed from her fingertips, like blood beads condensed along an invisible wound.

The black crow flapped its wings violently and quickly jumped to the bench next to "Esther", away from the dangerous unknown substance in her fingers.

"Esther" looked at her fingers in confusion, as if she noticed for the first time that she still had limbs. The drop of blood quickly dissipated in the air and turned into a group of light spots, floating brightly and darkly in the air. beside her.

"Don't call me by any name, it will affect the progress of 'fusion'." "Esther" said, closing her dazed and unfocused eyes again, "I don't agree with him becoming the master of Source Castle. It's that simple."

"At that time, you went to the place abandoned by God to find Him."

"I had no choice. Most of the Amon who were closely connected with him were in the Land Abandoned by Gods. I was attracted there by the uniqueness, so I could only look for him for a long time... Amon seemed to regard that as a kind of The hiding game until He got tired of it and He was willing to come out and see me.”

When "Esther" said these words, there was a hint of cold resentment in her tone, almost like gritting her teeth:

"He has delayed all my plans. Do you still think I will be willing to help Him? I have said many times that He can never do it. It is absolutely impossible for Him..."

"But why? Why can't I do it? Isn't your plan to support a 'Lord of Secrets' under your control?" Crow came over again and pitifully put his head against "Esther" At hand, "We can even have Him as a witness. Can't you believe Him too?"

The crow flapped its wings at the cross in front of the church.

"Esther" didn't remain silent for too long. She picked up the crow again and let it lie on her lap safely:

"I don't dare. This may be ridiculous to you, but I don't dare. Your will is too similar to that of that one, so I don't dare to bet on the possibility. He may not be able to suppress it now. Your loss of control.

"If it were you, I wouldn't have any bargaining chips in my hand, and for the sake of a more convenient and stable anchor, you would never fulfill your promise and let the light become free."

The crow's black eyes became very indifferent, and there was a sigh that was too far away. It was precisely because it was too far away that it would not make any waves in the black eyes: "You are so pathetic."

"I only believe in the destiny I can see, and there is only a shadow on you."

Crow closed his eyes: "I want to take a nap."

Mythical creatures, time bugs, and clones don't need sleep.

"Okay." "Esther" replied.

After a two-second pause, she added: "Good night."

The crow didn't respond to her.

——

Backlund, a northwest suburb of Queens.

A carriage passed through the road with thin clouds and bright sunshine, heading to the May Song Manor built next to the Tasok River.

The Macht family was sitting in the carriage. Hazel leaned her head on the carriage and stared out the window at the scenery from Berklund Street to the suburbs. She rarely looked back.

Liana Macht was holding her daughter's hand. Although she tried hard to hide it, worry would show in her eyes from time to time.

In the past two months or so, the only daughter of the Macht family refused to even step out of the door. She refused to attend any dinners or dances, was afraid of meeting any strangers, and tried desperately to retreat into her home like a frightened rabbit.

Until now, Hazel's mental condition has improved a lot, she has finally regained some of her past cheerfulness, and is willing to go out with her parents.

Congressman Mori and his wife have been troubled for a long time. They have no idea why Hazel was stimulated and suddenly became so timid and panicked. During that time, even when she suddenly saw the two people approaching, Hazel would subconsciously show fear. It also made Liana sad for a while.

This time, when they came to Meige Manor, the Macht family received an invitation from Dawn Dantès. This newly-minted nobleman of Backlund launched a hunting activity for the first time. As a neighbor and fellow party member, Maury Mach Of course Te is also on the invitation list.

After all, it was autumn hunting in the suburbs. Mori thought it would be good to bring Hazel to relax. Mr. Dawn was a good neighbor and he must give him this face.

"Hazel, are you tired? If you are tired, you can take a nap."

Liana asked, observing Hazel's slightly pale face, and tucked a strand of hair from her daughter's temples behind her ear.

Hazel no longer looked outside at the receding hedge, but turned back with a smile: "I'm not tired, don't worry, Mom."

Seeing Hazel's natural smile, Liana did feel a lot more relaxed: "If you have any discomfort, just bring it up directly. Mr. Dawn will definitely reserve more empty rooms in the manor, you You can always have a good rest alone.”

Hazel blinked, sat closer to Liana, and gently held the back of her mother's hand: "I'm really fine."

Mori smiled "hehe": "Your mother is worried about you. If she hadn't confirmed it with you, she wouldn't be relieved."

"Don't make it sound like you're not worried, dear." Liana rolled her eyes at Mori with a bit of complaint, then turned her head and stroked Hazel's pale cheek.

This action made Hazel's face blush a little more, but she did not escape from her mother's palm. She just buried her head: "I'm really fine! I'm not a child anymore."

"I wish you could tell me what happened, if you could."

Hazel's lowered eyes showed a hint of trance. Her mouth opened and closed, but she could not give herself or her parents a specific answer: "I don't know either..."

Mori shook his head at his wife and said solemnly: "It doesn't matter. Since it has caused trouble, it's okay not to remember it. Don't think about it anymore."

Hazel rested her head on Liana's shoulder: "Well, I want to rest for a while..."

Liana followed her daughter's dark green hair, which was as long as hers, and sighed silently.

It's okay, she's getting better, and that's more important than anything else. The mother said to herself in her heart.
