Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

The crimson moonlight was blocked outside the plant wall, and the darkness in the corridor was dispelled by the light of the broad sword in Utravsky's hand. He looked more like a mountain at this moment, standing there majestically.

Esther looked at Mrs. Romano quietly by the door and said nothing.

"That's it, Mrs. Romano, why did you only arrest me and not Luna?" Calvin yelled, returning to his usual joking tone, as if what they were facing now was not the roundup and questioning of the Orthodox Church, but Romano's. The wife showed her partiality because she liked "Luna" more and gave her an extra piece of cake.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that the children don't want to."

Mrs. Romano's expression was solemn. Although she usually scolded these young people with a straight face, the calmness and majesty in her eyes now easily made Esther associate her identity as the former Bishop of Harvest Church.

A few thin green buds continued to stretch, wrapped around the tips of Esther's hanging right fingers, curled up slightly, but detached again when she looked down, and fell back to the ground feebly.

"...She can suppress my ability. Fusac people, what do you think?"

Mrs. Romano decisively threw this hot potato to Father Utravsky, who was like a hill behind him, and let him make the decision.

"Let her go."

Mrs. Romano was quite dissatisfied. When her children were exploring outside the window, they had already noticed the strange light spots in the house, which was enough to illustrate the danger of "Luna". Regardless of whether the source of the abnormal movement was a magical item or her own ability, such a dangerous person should not be allowed to wander, not to mention that she seemed to be gradually showing weakness due to injuries and battle exhaustion.

Mrs. Romano said indifferently: "Is this your judgment?"

"No. Mother Goddess, let's give her a chance."

Mrs. Romano subconsciously grasped the Holy Emblem of Life hanging on her chest, and understood what Father Utravski meant. She sighed deeply: "Okay, I understand. I hope it won't lead to a big mistake."

The plants in the house spread out slightly, leaving a path for Esther to lead to the door.

"It's time for you to go, girl. We won't say goodbye to 'Luna.'"

It had been a false name from the beginning, and both Mrs. Romano and Esther knew it.

Esther did not rush to leave immediately, but instead walked towards the closet. The plants under her feet spread out gently to make way for her. Opening the small drawer in the closet, Esther stuffed all the cash inside into her crossbody bag and covered it with a long coat to block the scars on her body. Xiao Qi held the Bonnet hat in her mouth, placed it on Esther's head, and looked at Calvin, who was wrapped in layers of plants, with mocking eyes.

"Why don't you stay a little longer, little sheep? I will be desperate if I am detained by them alone!"

Esther still ignored Calvin. When she walked to the door, Mrs. Romano suddenly threw something out of her arms. Esther caught it with quick eyes and hands, and found that it was a glass filled with green gelatin. bottle.

"Thank you, Mrs. Romano. I'm sorry that I caused you any trouble."

Mrs. Romano did not look back, but stared at Calvin with a cold face: "You also helped me find trouble, offset it."

"Thank you too, Father Utravsky."

Father Utravsky nodded silently. Esther's eyes glanced at the giant sword in his palm, and she finally understood where the slightly familiar extraordinary power came from: the weapon she used most often when she was a Nighthawk was the Alias. The sealed object of "Half Dawn" is extremely similar to Father Utravsky's weapon.

"Luna! They will definitely find you again! The Aurora Society are all crazy! You must remember this!"

Esther finally looked back at Calvin. She didn't understand what the man's mentality was, and she gave him such a reminder.

The Bonnet hat fell from Xiaoqi's mouth on top of her head, blocking Esther and Calvin's sight, so she caught the hat and walked down the stairs.

When she stepped out of the door, Esther's heart was heavy, and she felt exhausted that she would never be able to laugh again.

She looked up and saw that all the windows in Apartment No. 7 were dark.

Suddenly, one of the windows was pushed open, and something was thrown out of the window of 402. Esther took two steps forward and caught it in her hand before it fell to the ground.

This is a harmonica that is bright red as a whole, but has hearts drawn in the corners with gold nail polish.

The sound of wind chimes rang violently from another window. Xiao Qi flew to the side window, grabbed another fallen object, and delivered it to Esther's hands.

Compared with the wind chime, it is more like a series of iron pieces connected with soft wires, hanging on a square plate with holes for fixing the soft wires, with a few hollow glasses hanging in the middle. If it shakes a lot, it will hit the wind chime. There was a light sound on the peripheral iron piece.

Then the window of 503 also opened, and Esther vaguely caught a glimpse of Candela's face, but couldn't see clearly because of the night.

A maraca flew out from inside and hit Esther's forehead accurately, leaving a small patch of redness and swelling.

This made Esther unsure whether her two tears were shed due to emotion or pain.

But she still picked up the maracas painted with skull patterns that fell on the ground, stuffed everything into her satchel, and ran quickly to the end of Lily of the Valley Street.

She had no way to turn back, no possibility of staying here, and no real name left for these people she had crossed paths with.

It doesn't matter, she will be forgotten anyway, right?

The sunflower in the flower bed, with its head slightly bowed, turned its flower disk and faced Esther's back as she ran toward the street corner. Its leaves swayed in the cold wind, as if saying goodbye to her.

——

"Then what are you going to do now?"

Xiao Qi coughed twice and spit out a small hair ball that had turned into silver. Then before Esther noticed it, it kicked the hair ball to the ground with its claws, and the ring of white hair reappeared in the right eye. .

"I don't know." Esther said frankly, but her gloomy and pale face reflected the reality that she was not feeling well. "Just tell me what you two have to say. I'm really tired."

Xiao Wu no longer pretended to be dead, it clung to Esther's outstretched finger obediently, and Esther hung it on her left ear, because Xiao Qi was also on this side, and Esther hung it from her right shoulder. The whip marks extending to the back have not yet been treated. Although there are faint light spots attached to it, which barely stops the bleeding, it still hurts every time I breathe due to the slight friction between the clothes.

But Xiao Wu also remained silent this time. He seemed to be no longer determined to let Esther go to Pulitzer Harbor.

Xiao Qi cleared her throat: "Well, actually there is a place you can go. But it's best to find a hotel nearby. You need to take care of your injuries."

Xiao Wu raised his body a little: "Maybe it's time to tell her the little thing we investigated."

"The content I found is not much, but this does not prevent us from reasoning and deciphering. This is my old profession." Xiao Qi raised his tail proudly, "Run language is not like Hermes or Giant language. Invoke extraordinary power, so the content of our conversation will not cause too much trouble."

"Your light can be distorted to a certain extent and can isolate you from the real world and the spiritual world. This can build another form of 'spiritual wall' to ensure the safety of our conversations." Xiao Wu added.

"Where's the normal spiritual wall?"

Xiao Wu answered Esther's question lazily: "That costs materials. Putting aside the price of materials, you haven't learned ritual magic, have you?"

Xiao Qi looked back and didn't notice any pursuers. She was suspicious that Esther was really let go like this: "Of course, this also includes anti-divination ability, which can help you get rid of other people's tracking."

Esther nodded: "I understand. When we get to the Tusok River, we will just find a hotel."

"Are you going to wait for the nearest ferry to the East District in the morning?"

"Yes, it's the messiest there, but for me now it's better to be messy."

Xiao Wu bit Esther's ear: "If you feel embarrassed, we can stay at the window while you cry."

Esther laughed in surprise: "Crying? Why should I cry?"

But the feelings coming from the connection were not like this. Her sadness, pain and anger made Xiao Wu feel like he had been thrown into a frying pan, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Xiaoqi chuckled, and after a while he said, "It doesn't matter. When something heavier comes, you won't remember the idea of ​​being able to cry."

"...Why do you seem to be cursing me with your words?"

The crow's dark eyes showed innocence: "What's even sadder is that what I said is all the truth."

Esther walked quickly across the street, and under the strange eyes of the two patrol policemen, she hurried to the Tasok River. The night was getting darker and darker, and the sky was always hazy, so she no longer had to see the disgusting moon. This was perhaps the only advantage of the hazy weather.

Xiaoqi took care of his messy wings. When he was entangled with Galvin before, he lost several feathers. At this moment, his tone was not very happy: "The East District may not be very safe either."

"Well, Norn was also a teacher in the East District, I remember this. But the East District has a large floating population and many people, which is suitable for people like me who have no destiny. That kind of place doesn't have to deal with neighbors, no one has that Take your time."

Xiao Qi glared at Xiao Wu: "Did you tell me all that?"

"We just talked about Sequence 2's ability," Xiao Wu seemed very indifferent, "You also admitted that her situation is similar, and telling her some of our news appropriately will help stabilize her mood."

"Thank you so much, I'm still here." Esther murmured in a low voice.

"Then Xiao Wu probably didn't tell you that your fate was bound to us because someone had tampered with it."

Xiao Wu suddenly raised his body and almost slipped from Esther's ear: "Is that really the case!? Have you really found the evidence?"

Xiao Qi shook her head: "Unless Esther is willing to establish a connection with a certain existence by chanting his name, we will never get the real answer."

"I can't read it," Esther interjected indifferently.

Xiao Wu knew who Xiao Qi was referring to, it was the original body Amon. Then why didn't he send other clones to capture Esther?

Xiao Qi seemed to see through Xiao Wu's thoughts: "Maybe it's not that he doesn't want to come, but that Esther's light spot resists this connection, making him unaware of it."

Xiao Wu still has a problem that has existed for a long time - its current state is isolated from the outside world, and it will not receive a response even if it chants the honorary name. Why doesn't Xiao Qi, who has regained his freedom, contact the main body as soon as possible?

But Xiao Wu instantly figured out the answer hidden in the question.

It is because of freedom.
