Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Esther glanced back at Amon who was staying in mid-air. He did not leave, but only cast his gaze from a distance, his figure almost blending into the dark sky.

Esther always thought she heard a gunshot.

It was an auditory hallucination, she was very sure of this, and her inexplicable intuition made her want to turn around and ask Amon what he was doing. But after seeing Amon waving happily to her, Esther decisively turned her head and continued to approach the city.

At least Amon didn't take away the two weapons around me. Is this a bit of conscience? No, He just didn't want to deal with the side effects of this old antique...

Esther clicked the dagger in her hand as a warning. Although under Esther's seal, it would not suddenly break the natural rules around it or issue laws that would suffocate all living creatures around it, but Esther You can still feel that it is full of resistance to you, like a hedgehog that is ready to attack, and will give Esther a bite once there is a chance.

Of course, Esther had destroyed "its kingdom," so Esther felt that this resentment against her was justified.

When approaching the city on the wolf's back, Esther also compared it with the Silver City that she had overlooked. Although most of the streets were submerged in darkness, it was obvious that the overall scope of this city was smaller. The wolf's back only occupies the neck part.

Esther sighed silently in her heart. She had no expectations for how many survivors there would be in this city.

The giant wolf let out a warning low bark from its throat, but a soft black light swayed from the top of the tower, like a circle of fluttering ribbon, bound to the remains of the giant wolf.

But the way it was put around the neck reminded Esther of some kind of pet product, the "Elizabeth Circle" put around the neck.

Esther smiled in her heart and shook her head. This must be the city left by the goddess of the night. Even if she is far away from the outside world, she is still wary of what is happening on this continent and has left an investigative sight?

Was this His idea, or was it reminded by Dazhberg...

Esther's thoughts stopped here, because she was too close to the tower, and a black curtain had fallen on her.

Since there was no warning from her spiritual intuition, Esther did not take any countermeasures, but calmly let the darkness fall head-on. A slight coolness passed through her body, as if she had walked into a burst of ice mist.

The light spots in the hair slowly floated, dispersing the dark shadows that wanted to cover Esther's eyes, causing them to obediently avoid the position where she was standing, slowly surging to both sides, and even showed There is a passable path.

Esther nodded her forehead, suddenly aware of the forces driving darkness. What she recognized from the beginning was the light in her hair.

A portion of the medium light previously left to "Dark Night" to help him stabilize himself, could it also be used as a special permission to pass?

Although the darkness deliberately avoided her position, Esther reached out her hand and gently stroked its surface that had never calmed down.

This time, when she felt the coolness, she activated the ability of "Decryption Scholar" and quickly analyzed the extraordinary power contained in it. Apart from the "secret" and "illusion" parts, the more composed part was "bad luck" , then it doesn’t seem strange that it responds to the light spot.

Esther seemed to have guessed who the remains were.

The goddess of the night knows best what happened after the death of Demon Wolf King Fregra. The profits he gained from it, as well as his victorious attitude in annihilating the demon wolf clan, made the disappearance of Fregra's body a huge suspicion on the goddess of the night.

And Zoya knew this very well.

But Esther didn't expect that the goddess of the night would turn the body out again instead of permanently sealing it in "secret". Many of the mutilated parts of the body should be due to being gnawed by other demon wolves. Food.

The narrow path in front of Esther leads directly to the top of the tall tower. The top of the tower is different from the open platform of Silver City. It is tapered with sharp corners, but a small window is opened there, as if to greet the guests. invitation.

Even if a guest is unwilling to go to that window, the surrounding darkness will politely wait until someone gives the order to submerge the guest.

No matter what, at least the other party has now shown a willingness to communicate and should have a clear enough mind.

When Esther approached the window, she heard a low humming from inside, in ancient Hermetic language, with a gentle melody like a lullaby.

However, this vague singing made Esther frown slightly. The singing contained extraordinary power, dragging everything around her into a dream all the time. If it were any other extraordinary person, she would have fallen asleep without any consciousness at this time. in the darkness.

But Esther's spiritual intuition was unresponsive because there was no danger to her - she simply couldn't dream.

Only when communicating with the goddess of the night or a certain mercury snake, Esther accidentally entered the dream world, but it was also deliberately shaped, not generated from her own consciousness.

The singing on the tower spread together with the darkness, shrouding the small city below, making it clearly exist in reality, but also sleep in a quiet dream.

The singing stopped when Esther climbed onto the stone window frame. She glanced at the darkness that had closed behind her and stepped briskly in.

The room inside the window was narrower than Esther imagined. It did not correspond to the top of the tower seen from the outside. There was only a square attic six meters long and wide, which was obviously separated from the rest of the interior space.

The interior of the house is also mainly made of stone. The tables, chairs, beds, and the bookshelves with cabinet doors and horizontal bars on the outside are all integrated with the room itself and fixed in the position where they should be.

Esther could imagine the reason for doing this. When the magic wolf ran around, if there were no extra measures, the things in the house would soon be shaken around and become a mess.

However, a layer of black gauze was covered above all the furniture, making the atmosphere in the room particularly gloomy. Including the long-extinguished oil lamp above the head, there are also layers of black gauze rolled up, like a mosquito net, propped up on the roof.

The person wearing a pure black dress was sitting quietly by the bed. At least judging from the body curve, this was probably a woman. There were no legs under her skirt, and her face and hands were covered with black gauze, making it difficult to see her face or appearance.

Esther stepped over the window frame and floated lightly beside the window.

As she looked at the furnishings in the room alertly, the song that had paused for a few seconds started again, coming from under the black veil:

"May my soul never wake up from the dream until the eternal light comes to dawn.

"That's right! There is also sadness and despair in that long dream..."*

The singing that was originally vague outside the house became extremely clear inside the house. Of course Esther remembered this poem. She was even absolutely sure that the lady in front of her had a deep connection with the goddess of the night.

"But it is better than the awakening of reality for all living beings..."

Esther took another step forward and the singing stopped. (End of chapter)
