Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Not long after meeting Esther, Klein used the ability of the "Faceless Man" to change his appearance from a disguised stranger to what "Klein Moretti" should look like.

Mainly because he didn't want to use the appearance of "German Sparrow" when he thought of the twists and turns brought by his previous identity as "The World". Although he knew that Esther would not squeeze him at this time, what's more...

Amon, who was walking between the two, didn't know when he had a lantern in his hand. It was covered with a thin layer of animal skin. The burning grease inside emitted a slightly pungent smell of burnt. The dim light could only illuminate a few meters around, but it was enough for the darkness ahead.

Seeing Klein glance over, Amon casually handed the lantern in his direction: "Take it."

Klein was a little surprised, and hesitated before asking: "Where did you get it from?"

"Of course I stole it. I don't like the new lanterns they are using now, so I stole a lot of old ones."

Esther instantly understood what the new lantern was made of.

Klein didn't say anything else, but took it silently, and then looked in the direction of Esther - well, he didn't have to worry too much about her, because several light balls were floating beside Esther, much brighter than the animal skin oil lamp.

Even if Klein didn't hold the lantern, it didn't matter, because the range of those floating light balls had already covered the three people.

Norns was very intimately clinging to Esther's palm, making sharp chirps from time to time, and Esther was quietly comforting it, including many accusations against Amon, and obviously mixed with a lot of personal emotions.

Listening to her nagging voice, Klein's fluctuating thoughts calmed down again. At this moment, he had a trance feeling that he had never experienced before, until the lightning snake that cut through the night above his head disappeared again, and Klein silently sighed in his heart.

He held the lantern tightly in his hand and continued to move forward following Amon's steps, cautiously keeping a certain distance from this elusive "angel of time".

Dusk fell behind the three people, darkness engulfed their shadows, but the light stretched the footprints under their feet longer, forming a winding bruise.

"Afternoon Town is ahead. Silver City has stationed several expedition teams here. Do you want to say hello?"

Esther pointed at herself strangely: "Are you asking me?"

"What else? You are their "evangelist" now, and they have already started to promote it like this," Amon seemed to be very happy to see the embarrassment and embarrassment on Esther's face, "Praise you for bringing a little seed in the darkness, symbolizing the harbinger of hope-"

"Stop, stop! Don't say anything more!" Esther quickly stopped Amon to prevent Him from saying anything more exaggerated, "I didn't do anything... or did you do anything behind this matter?"

Amon There was a little grievance on his face: "Why, has doubting me become your fixed thinking logic?"

Esther's answer was very frank: "No, it's just that I have too many reasons to doubt you."

"It's not me who did anything this time, it should be-" Amon paused for a few seconds, then shook his head in trouble, "Anyway, it's not me."

Esther stared at him in surprise: "You also have things that bother you?"

Amon just showed a playful smile, and just said "you guess". Seeing this performance, Esther was very tactful and did not ask any more questions, so as not to be misled by Amon and associate it with a more unconventional "truth".

The three did not approach the afternoon town, but just looked at the light hanging outside the city wall from a distance. Klein looked at the "lanterns" shining brightly in the dark, and was speechless for a while.

He was too familiar with that kind of light, which made Klein subconsciously look at his side, after all, the same ball of light was floating above Esther's head.

The smile on Esther's face couldn't hide her embarrassment: "They really planted them everywhere..."

"Because this kind of light source is very convenient, and unlike torches, there is no risk of extinguishing." Amon pointed to the direction of the afternoon town camp from a distance, "They planted these things almost all over the safe road. If He didn't react at all, I would be suspicious, but now..."

After a pause, Amon shook his head, and the inexplicable trouble appeared on His face again: "He may have his own reasons for doing this."

He? Who is this He that Amon is talking about? Klein pondered in his mind, but when he glanced at Esther, he found that she also had a similar confusion on her face-it was obvious that Esther didn't know who Amon was talking about.

On the other side, the Silver City exploration team had already issued an alarm to the members stationed here the moment they discovered the light.

Here, the light coming from the depths of darkness is definitely not a normal phenomenon-usually only humans, only survivors, will need the protection of light.

But such a weak firelight could also come from some unknown monster, so the remaining team members immediately entered a state of alert, and the personnel who took turns to rest were also awakened.

But nothing happened. The flickering light did not approach Afternoon Town, but had already circled away from it.

The team members in charge of guarding hurriedly reported to the elders of the "Six-member Council" who stayed in the camp, but before they had further action plans, the three vague figures had gradually gone away.

Amon asked Esther with a smile: "Are you really not going to take a look?"

Esther just shook her head: "Forget it, I'm not suitable for this kind of occasion..."

"You can blame these things on him, 'Fool', right?"

This time, it was Klein who shook his head repeatedly.

Amon glanced at Klein: "It's just a suggestion anyway. This is a good opportunity to expand the anchor."

What He said was certainly correct, but Klein did not speak. He just silently looked at the tall guard running on the wall of Afternoon Town.

Where there is light, there must be darkness. The shadow curled up in the darkness agitated for a moment, and then calmed down, without attracting anyone's attention.

Only Amon adjusted his monocle. This was a habitual little action of His, and Esther did not take it to heart.

Inside the camp of Afternoon Town, the woman who was listening to the voice in the darkness had her eyes half closed. Her breathing was very steady, as if she was asleep.

But soon, the peace was broken by a shout: "Elder Lovia! Someone just passed by the camp with a light source!"

Lovia pulled herself away from the whispers in her ear and returned to reality. The index finger that she had pulled out and swallowed before had grown back and was restored to its original state, leaving only a piece of blood on the bandage.

Lovia calmly put away the blood-stained bandage, quickly walked out of the house where she was staying, and quickly calmed the nervous team members.

Her master was watching and waiting in the darkness.
