Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

"That's right, you won't tell me."

Esther turned her head thoughtfully, no longer looking at Amon, but glanced at Klein who had lowered his guard and was breathing softer and softer. He acted so trusting in her, which made Esther even more guilty. .

A large part of this guilt stems from her compromise with Amon. This subtle sense of struggle hangs more and more tightly in her heart, making her suffer for it-but she can turn around from the indifferent attitude of spectators. .

The self and divinity, which were suffering because of "Esther", pulled each other to maintain balance.

This is definitely not part of "fate", but the most unexpected result. Even Dazhberg probably didn't know that things would turn out like this...or maybe this was the result he and he wanted, to let the separation and reunion happen. Is the end point stuck at a mutually beneficial balance?

I am just another pre-prepared test subject. Is this success also related to luck?

Esther thought this and poked the fire with the dagger in her hand out of boredom. Amon looked at her little actions to pass the time and said nothing for a moment.

Feeling the strong protest emanating from this special dagger, Esther's tense lips curled up. Such a prank was of course meaningless. She was just trying to divert her attention.

If it weren't for the special extraordinary power attached to the dagger, Esther even considered changing its form at any time. It would definitely be more suitable for the situation to turn the dagger directly into a fire fork.

I don't know how long it took, but in the long darkness, the light of this pile of flames was reassuring and never dimmed - its due "consumption" was also stolen.

Amon couldn't hold back. After Esther sat on a stone pier, he moved another stone pier from nowhere and sat next to her, frowning slightly:

"Actually, you can ask me why and what I know. You look like you have completely given up now, which makes me more curious about your plans."

Esther rolled her eyes in the firelight: "Can't you sense my emotional changes?"

"That doesn't mean I can figure out your thoughts. You always think about things without logic, but if you ask me, the 'Guidance of Destiny' also deceived you. You know this very well."

"Yes," Esther responded calmly, completely ignoring Amon's subtle provocation, "but I'm still very lucky..."

Amon laughed and winked at Esther very childishly: "If you say these words to deceive yourself, then I can only expose you ruthlessly."

Esther did not roll her eyes this time, but looked at Amon with a straight face, and said with great seriousness: "Don't make it sound like you are familiar with me."

"But I am indeed very familiar with you. I am sure that no one 'knows' you better than me."

When she heard Amon say these words in a threatening tone, Esther felt her arms tremble. She hugged the trembling Norns a little tighter and patted the pockets of her clothes to comfort her. Looking at the frightened bird.

"We don't mean the same thing. You have already received huge benefits. I don't know what else you are seeking from me."

"Origin Castle."

Esther showed no reaction and nodded her forehead indifferently: "That is no longer something I can decide. Now I am also one of the people threatened by 'fate'. How about we talk about something else?"

So Amon thought seriously for a moment, then tilted his head in the direction of the "divineer". His meaning was obvious - he was very curious about the "hidden secret" of Klein Moretti.

However, Esther had no clue. Apart from being a candidate for the "Lord of Mysteries", most of what she knew about Klein was her past memories, from being a companion of the "Nighthawk" to when he was still a human being. When ordinary people are like...

Like Li Xing.

Thinking of her "past", Esther sighed softly:

"I...you should be quiet, Klein is still resting."

Amon curled his lips, but really became quiet. He could capture Esther's overly complicated emotions at the moment, which made Amon feel uncomfortable as well, so there was no more unnecessary words between the two of them.

Returning to silence is more suitable for the environment of the land abandoned by the gods. The range that the firelight can illuminate is always limited, and there are still many monsters lurking in the shadows, wandering outside this weird trio.

Klein, who had been using "Joker" to control his facial expressions and quietly listen to the conversation between the two, was relieved - he couldn't say that he eavesdropped on purpose, but in such a quiet environment, he quickly woke up at the slightest movement. , the moment he noticed that Esther and Amon were talking, he deliberately relaxed his body to prevent them from noticing that he had woken up.

The atmosphere during the conversation could not be called friendly. It was inconsistent with what Amon had deliberately shown before. Klein could even vaguely smell the tit-for-tat gunpowder. He also had a vague idea of ​​Esther's current situation. Although she was caught by Amon, Even though I have a clue, I don’t seem to have much fear...

On the contrary, Amon was very cautious towards Esther. Did he know that Esther and Zoya were related to another trapped existence on Origin Castle?

Klein's thoughts gradually dispersed and he fell into unconscious sleep again. Amon's eyes moved under his monocle. He knew that someone was awake just now, but he did not react to it.

After all, the only one who was being concealed was Esther. Amon did not feel that he had the obligation to remind her. Letting this "divineer" have more doubts about Esther was the result he wanted.

Esther didn't even need to make a clear statement, as long as she hesitated.

When Klein opened his eyes, he didn't yawn deliberately, but just glanced around calmly, and his spiritual intuition didn't give any warning.

Klein looked at the other two people sitting on the stone pier, ignored Amon's smiling nod, and didn't pursue the worry in Esther's eyes: "Shall we continue?"

The one who responded was the "thief" who was deliberately ignored. He looked quite interested, and it was completely unclear what he was happy about: "Yes, let's continue - but if you ask me, it's a waste of time and boring to go all the way like this, isn't it?"

"What do you want to do? Want to find a link to cheat?"

Esther said what Klein wanted to say first, so he had to shut his mouth again.

Amon nodded carefully, as if he was thinking it over: "I don't think it's fair now--"

Esther couldn't help laughing: "It's even more terrifying to hear this from you."

"Let's play a game and make a bet, what do you think?"

Esther and Klein looked at each other, and this time it was Klein who spoke: "The bet is our freedom?"

Amon's smile was more sincere: "No, it's just your freedom, not hers." (End of this chapter)
