Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Walking on the sea of ​​clouds, from looking at the palace in myths and legends from afar to walking into the dusk full of decadence, Klein's mood became more calm and peaceful.

He should have been worried and struggling about the current situation, but for some reason, unlike his past experiences, Amon appeared directly in front of him this time. Apart from the initial shock, he did not bring much definite fear to Klein.

It's as if...

"As if you are sure that I won't hurt you?" Amon rolled his eyes, not knowing what he remembered, and his face showed obvious dissatisfaction, "Yes, I changed my mind."

"Not just that," Klein couldn't grasp the specific description, but he did have other feelings in his heart, "I always feel that you are afraid of something?"

Amon laughed wantonly, then took a breath, and there was more false pity in his black eyes: "Me? Afraid of you? Then you really think too highly of yourself."

Klein looked calm, he hugged Norns tightly in his palm, and gently stroked its head that was looking around: "Of course it's not afraid of me, I still understand this, maybe it's the 'Lord of Mysteries'."

Amon did not deny it, but just snorted vaguely.

Led by Amon, the two approached the projection of the Giant King's Court. Although Amon did not have the key, he only needed to "borrow" the ability of the "apprentice" to easily open a door frame that spanned the substance, forming a passage large enough for the two to pass through.

Amon suddenly frowned. Before stepping into the illusory door, He said to Klein: "It's really strange. You don't even have much thought of running away."

"Not just you, I find it strange too."

Klein replied truthfully. His frankness made Amon's words choke. The "thief" then began to think about Klein's trump card and re-examined the special connection between him and "Source Castle".

Amon had seen a few "ancient scholars" of Sequence 3. Apart from the bright gray fog, He could not see anything special about Klein. Even if he used the "uniqueness", the result would be the same - no trace of the past and the future.

Amon shook his head: "You should be afraid."

"I don't know either. I just think there's nothing to be afraid of."

Klein looked at the door whose safety was unknown, but his spiritual intuition had a subtle nostalgia, and he actually walked over before Amon.

The "thief" who was left behind was stunned for a moment, and then his frown smoothed out and followed him in.

What a boring guy, Amon couldn't help thinking.

There was a subtle difference between this "Klein Moretti" and the "Lord of Mysteries" in Amon's memory. Compared with the memory of another "Amon", Amon was more willing to believe his intuition at the moment, that there was a problem with the candidate that Zoya expected.

Klein didn't know about this, and he didn't even know why he was so relieved.

It was just that the inner peace fell into place when Klein saw her - he even smiled unconsciously for the worry on her face.

Esther's dress was slightly different from the last time Klein saw her in person. She was no longer wearing the nun's outfit. It was just a plain black robe, which made her slightly shiny blonde hair particularly soft. In the dim night, it looked more like a bud that would fade and wither at any time.

She didn't look injured. From the look in her eyes, Klein knew that she was still the Esther he knew, not someone else - this was the best result.

Klein still had many things to ask her, but this was not the right time to reminisce.

So Amon was still the first one to speak among the three: "Hi, wait a long time, I'm back with our guest."

The crow on Esther's shoulder jumped very happily, but before it could say anything, it had already turned into a faint light and was directly rolled into Amon's sleeve, leaving it no chance to speak.

Klein did not approach, but stopped a few meters away, and because he remembered that he should keep his distance, the shallow smile disappeared. But it was useless for him to frown, because the skylark in Klein's arms was more anxious than him. After a shrill scream, it almost couldn't wait to jump out of Klein's hand, flew towards Esther, and pounced directly into her raised palm.

Esther just heard it and looked at Amon angrily: "Why are you still bullying Norns? Is it necessary?"

Amon looked innocent: "I didn't do anything, I just scared it - otherwise, why would I scare the invited guests?"

Klein just glanced at Esther at first, then looked away, looking at the silent darkness of the God-Forsaken Land, listening to the conversation between the two, and pretended not to exist without saying a word.

"You still dare to say invitation? You-" Esther's high voice stopped abruptly, she sighed heavily, and no longer looked at Klein with an indifferent face, just staring at Amon, "What do you want to do?"

Amon walked in front of Esther, and took advantage of the height difference between the two, looking down at Esther with a smile: "You have always refused to give me such an opportunity to have a good talk with your 'candidate', so I can only find a way to invite him to participate in this conversation. In fact, it didn't take much time, and I want to state first that I didn't take any 'radical' means."

"Kidnapping someone is not an invitation," Esther corrected, "not to mention you're 'parasitizing' him."

When he saw Esther walking towards him, Klein was obviously a little nervous. He did not use the ability of the "clown" to cover up his true reaction, which made Esther stop nervously.

Esther hesitated for a moment, but still tried to put on a smile: "Then... I'm just going to perform a magic trick for you, don't move."

After that, she held the calmed Norns in her left hand, stretched out her right hand close to Klein's ear, and then snapped her fingers lightly.

In the crisp sound, Klein saw a halo of light swinging from the end of Esther's hair, which quickly spread out with her as the center. When the light swept over him, a certain heavy feeling suppressed in his spiritual intuition was also swept away.

"Hey!" Amon on the other side shouted unhappily.

Esther retracted her right hand that had just snapped her fingers and shook it at Klein, as if she was showing off her "magic".

Klein could see a time worm with a ring struggling to twist between her index finger and thumb. Even though it didn't make a sound, Klein could almost hear a more unhappy complaint.

Esther smiled and took it back in her hand, and when Norns shouted excitedly, she whispered, "No, you can't eat this. You can't eat everything."

After being "parasitized", Klein felt that he needed to say something: "Well... thank you."

"You're welcome." Esther responded in a low voice, as if she was worried that Klein would have other reactions. After so many things happened, such a reunion made her so embarrassed that she wanted to find a place to hide.

Amon did not stop Esther's actions, nor did he try to "parasitize" Klein again. He knew that Esther would do it again.

Amon just opened his hand to her, and when Esther handed it over, he took back the Time Worm that was still full of complaints: "Even if you don't help, he has other shelters."

"It's nothing."

Esther said in a low voice, staring straight at the darkness of the God-Forsaken Land, but even if she didn't look at it, she was clear about the complex emotions of Klein.

Obviously, thank you and you're welcome were not what the two wanted to say.
