Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

"You don't have to tell me anything more specific, but can you tell me something insignificant? For example, his character, or..."

"I look really stupid don't I for you to think I would say that."

Esther twisted her shoulders, but the crow was not affected by her movements at all and was firmly clasped on the outer layer of the black shawl.

The nun's uniform on her body has been completely changed, turning into a plain black robe with a little laurel edge embellishment, and a shawl transformed from a nun's hood, which can be seen everywhere where the fabric is spliced. Irregular and messy threads.

As for why it’s a black robe…

"You really can't show me how to transform into something else?"

"No." Crow replied firmly.

Esther didn't bother to think about it anymore, so she endured this sigh for the time being. This black dress, which also looked very suitable for attending a funeral, at least moved much more easily than the heavy nun's uniform.

She is not a tailor, so she cannot do more delicate handicrafts. This kind of "deception" is just a simple piece of clothing.

Kahe, who was following Esther, had a mocking look on his face, and didn't even mean to restrain himself: "If you really mind, you can wear the same outfit. Well, I have no problem with Adam's aesthetics."

Esther looked at the lady wearing a monocle, and the corner of her mouth twitched: "No, why are you still like this?"

"What's wrong with me?" Kah's eyes were full of innocence, but it was exactly the same as the expression of the crow on Esther's shoulder.

"Don't you need to change back?" Esther whispered.

Kahe came closer again, and before the other party could lift her up with his height, Esther quickly stole the space and opened a few meters away from Kahe.

Kahe shook his long wavy hair: "I didn't do anything."

Esther didn't want to talk to Kah and took two more steps to the side.

She was walking on a plain filled with rocks. There was nothing that could be called a "creature" nearby, and there weren't even many reference points. Because there is thick fog gathering nearby, looking around, there are only shadows floating in the darkness in the distance. When you get closer, you can only see onion-like stone pillars one after another.

The dense fog here itself is flowing, making a low cry like a sob. The air flow passes back and forth through the fine holes on the stone pillars, and the sobbing sound is amplified into a twisted cry, which makes it easier for people walking here to lose their way and lose their identity. Trapped in fear.

This is not a problem for Esther. At most, "the wind here is a bit noisy today."

"We've been wandering here for half an hour." Esther stared at the severely weathered pillar in front of her in confusion. Every pillar here was different. At least she was sure that she was not spinning in circles.

Kahe clicked on the shadow deep in the fog: "This city is underground, but if you want to enter, you can only wait for the people inside to come out."

Crow then said: "Isn't your luck always good? Think of it yourself."

Esther looked up at the stone pillar in front of her, dazed for a while, and an idea suddenly came to her mind: "Do you think this thing can be pulled out?"

This time, the crow was silent for longer than Esther was in a daze. Finally, Kach pinched his right eye socket and spoke in a rather sad tone: "Is this the way you thought of?"

"No, I just have this question——"

"This is what you came up with." Crow interrupted Esther with confidence.

"...That's right. Maybe? It will flatten as soon as you hit it with your palm."

Esther said coquettishly, and she circled around the pillar where the two of them were hugging each other, but soon she was distracted by other things, unable to concentrate on analyzing the traces of mysticism nearby: "I always I think you are in a good mood."

Crow's attitude towards her was no longer so sarcastic, and even changed from the previous harshness, and seemed to be much more patient. Otherwise, he would have started to make derogatory remarks about her by this time, and he would not be so peaceful at all.

"Because some of my conjectures have been confirmed. You can understand it from another perspective. I am happy because I saw Sefirah Castle."

Esther frowned. Although she was still staring at the circle of holes on the edge of the stone pillar, her eyes were obviously not focused here: "Forget it, you won't have such an obvious reaction just because of such a small thing."

"You don't trust me that much?"

"No, you always seem to be thinking about something bad."

"You can also choose to change your stance. That way what I'm thinking about will be a good thing."

Esther reached out and tapped the pillar in front of her, casually poking a few irregularly shaped bumps, but her mind was still on more distant places, such as Backlund: "Are you trying to catch him? ?”

"Of course, why should I let go of this opportunity? Adam has to prepare for his promotion ceremony, and he doesn't have time to help you cover up anything." Crow replied leisurely, with confidence in his voice.

Esther's hand froze. In order to obscure her true emotions, she slapped the pillar with her backhand, as if she was angry with it: "I don't even have to think about it, He will definitely support you."

Before she could finish her words, the stone pillar that had stood in front of her for thousands of years suddenly began to roll down with rubble. The figures of Esther and Kach flashed a few meters away at the same time. After maintaining an appropriate distance, they looked at each other quietly. More and more gravel fell down.

The pillar began to disintegrate from below, quickly collapsing into a pile of rubble.

Esther laughed awkwardly and dusted off a little dust from her palms: "To be honest, I didn't mean it."

"Look at your good luck." Crow said calmly, not worried about such a small scene.

Esther's spirituality was touched, and she and Kach looked into the depths of the fog. The black shadows as tall as spires were trembling. The whimpering wind no longer screamed, but turned into a suppressed roar, echoing around the stone. The block fell down and shattered with a roar.

More and more stone pillars are collapsing, and the continuous sound seems to be responding to Esther's casual words before, making the half-true joke come true.

This continuous collapse, which was enough to shake up the six-foot-long coffin underground, took more than ten minutes to completely end. The last stone rolled down from nowhere, and everything finally calmed down. The color of the thick fog has become darker, and the previous crying has completely disappeared.

Esther kicked away a piece of gravel next to her toes: "Is it still possible for me to, um, stick them together?"

"'Restart'? I don't have high-sequence 'monster' characteristics, but low-sequence ones do."

"before you……"

Before Esther could finish her words, she suddenly closed her mouth.

Her kach moved almost simultaneously and floated upwards.

The ground cracked into ravines one after another, extending from the bottom of the stone pillars. The earthworm-like black cracks were constantly shaking, and the fragile ground was like a bag of crushed potato chips, sinking downwards.

Kach adjusted his monocle: "This doesn't seem to be a normal way to enter."

"Are we going down?"

"if not?"

Esther glanced at the crow on her shoulder and nodded to Kach: "Then look down."
