Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

"Leev Schwarog, one of the council members of Spark City."

As the middle-aged man said this, he took back the long sword in his hand. Since he didn't have any scabbard, he just put the sword on his waist.

"Esther, hello, Mr. Schwarog. I haven't heard that there is a council in Spark City."

The council system sounds similar to that of Silver City, but according to what Veronica said before...

Thinking of this, Esther couldn't help but glance sideways, and happened to see the three residents of Spark City standing upright, including Veronica, who also lowered his head respectfully. They seemed to have quickly prepared themselves. Construction, prepare to receive the middle-aged man's roar and curse in the next second.

The moment Esther turned around, the middle-aged man's hand subconsciously dropped to the hilt of the sword. When the other party showed a flaw, this almost became his unconscious reaction, but Lev quickly restrained this reaction. Due to the urge to "harvest" - the crow was still staring at me with indifferent eyes.

Lev cleared his throat, and it wasn't until Esther looked at him again that the middle-aged man with red and rough skin continued: "We abandoned the term 'parliament' a long time ago, and hundreds of years ago, I have become accustomed to using 'Sir' as a pronoun. In fact, Schwarog is the surname of all 'Sir's', and my name is only Lev."

Esther asked subconsciously: "So, you belong to the same family?"

"No, I can't tell more about the specific situation. Oh, please wait a moment."

Lev turned to the three Veronicas behind him. He frowned and his voice immediately became louder: "You idiots! Leaving your posts privately during the patrol? Hand over the harvest quickly and go to the training ground immediately. Receive your punishment! Get out now!"

"yes!"

Veronica, Pien and Zola responded in unison, and then trotted along the slope leading to Spark City, eagerly staying away from Lev's sight, never looking back again.

When Esther saw this scene, she couldn't help but smile. Looking at the expressions on the faces of the three people, they seemed to feel relieved about receiving the punishment. It seemed that the temper of this "chief" Lev was indeed not very good. Now it is because of outsiders that I have restrained myself.

Lev's frowned eyebrows did not loosen, and they were almost twisted into a straight line: "And now, it's time for us to have a serious talk, Your Highness."

Esther was stunned for a moment, but the crow on her shoulder sneered, and then tugged on Esther's hair: "You can give him the sword, otherwise this coward will be sulky and won't dare to talk to you. need."

Lev's eyebrows flattened out of embarrassment, and there was not much expression on his tense face: "I thought you would never come back here again."

Esther handed over the sword hilt with her backhand, and Lev remained silent in response to her rather easy-going attitude, and just continued to stare at the crow.

Crow did have something to say, and part of it was also meant to be told to Esther, because she had listened to the instructions: "Medici has been dead for a long time, but now he is alive again as an evil spirit. But your faith can no longer be revived, and that army has long since disappeared."

"We know that we are just guarding the memory of an old bone, and we have been guarding it for more than two thousand years." Lev was not shaken by those words at all. He put the sword in his hand vertically downward and pressed it in the palm of his hand. "But the reason why we are still continuing is because faith will never die, Your Highness, Son of God."

The crow snorted from his nostrils, and then scratched Esther's hair: "You can discuss it with this fool yourself. Although the name 'Zoya' has long since disappeared, you can also tell the story of Skylark. very familiar."

Lev didn't show much surprise. He just looked at Esther a few more times, then struck hard on her body with his fist, and made the sign of the cross: "Praise the omniscient and almighty Lord, may the sword of the war angel be always sharp!"

Do they still believe in the Medici? He has obviously been here for so long... No, Silver City still believes in Dazhbog, but this belief is completely isolated from the outside world, and Medici cannot respond now. After all, does He really care about such a small town?

Esther was a little confused. She was still digesting the information revealed in those previous words, and she always felt that there was something weird.

But Crow opened his mouth to urge Esther: "Don't you want to take a look? Come into the city, he will invite you like this anyway."

Lev's cheek twitched obviously, and he looked reluctant: "Yes, if you wish, I will also take you to meet the other three 'chiefs'."

Esther noticed that the other party's tone became more respectful. Was it because Amon brought up the legend of Skylark? Could this middle-aged man who looked very serious believe it?

No, maybe it was just because of Amon's identity that the other party misunderstood something.

Esther followed Lev, moving down the ramp and gradually approaching the crooked building complex.

Esther made a rough estimate in her mind and compared Spark City with the cities she had seen before. Although its size looked huge and spectacular, its area was much smaller than Silver City or Dream City. If not Because Lev is still here, Esther will definitely ask Crow curiously what the previous words between the two people meant.

But because Lev was present, Esther remained reserved and silent, quietly observing everything in her field of vision.

Iron cages were erected at both ends of the ramp, and black accumulations were burning inside, exuding a strong burnt smell when organic matter was carbonized. The closer to the city, the temperature of the surrounding environment gradually increased.

Esther noticed a small door on the side, where two people were looking nervously. Esther didn't know whether they were nervous because they saw herself, a stranger, or because they saw the stern face next to them. of Lev.

But Lev obviously didn't intend to take her there. He glanced at Esther and said, "Can you give me back the power you took away before?"

When Lev transformed into a flame spear, he tried to detonate the flames directly, but Esther stole his ability to control the flames and never gave it back.

Now that the other party lowered her face and spoke, Esther seemed very indifferent, but she was secretly regretting that she hadn't had time to try it yet.

But this "chief" seems to be no stranger to the abilities of the "stealer".

Esther raised her hand casually, and the extraordinary power was returned to Lev. A ball of blazing white fire rose up in his palm. The fireball suddenly bounced upwards and exploded into a large bright red flame in mid-air, as if he was waving a wave. got a flag.

After seeing such a conspicuous signal, the city's broad iron gate with spikes tightened the winch, lifted upwards with the low groan of the iron rope, and turned into a bloody mouth that slowly opened to welcome A "guest" it hasn't seen in years.

When the old door opened, Esther heard the sound of "dang, dang". This sound kept repeating and had its own rhythm.

It was not the sound of a bell, but the collision of a hammer with creation.
