Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 162 Telegraph Office

Soon, following the waiter's message, Mr. Dimodo came downstairs with his new wife.

After a simple exchange and Mr. Blanche's clear instructions, Dimodo immediately took his new wife's hand and agreed to leave the place as soon as possible with the group, and met the Blanche family waiting outside.

Klein bowed slightly to the restaurant owner: "Excuse me."

Unlike him who was polite, Esther narrowed her eyes and looked at the boss with increasingly subtle eyes.

To the boss's relief, Klein shouted from the door: "Let's go."

Esther quickly followed up, glared at the boss fiercely, and followed Klein out the door.

The door of Green Lemon Restaurant was closed again, but it kept shaking in the wind, and the edge of the door would make a sound against the door frame from time to time.

"What did you notice?"

Esther shook her head: "It's just a little bit attractive to me. It's a guide of fate."

There were suddenly a lot more people in the team, which greatly increased the difficulty of guarding them. Esther was just about to use her light point ability to delineate the isolation area, but she saw Klein shaking his head slightly at her.

Klein transferred his cane to his left hand, put his right hand into his dress, and activated the "Sun Brooch". The warm and inspiring light spread rapidly with him as the center of the circle, enough to envelope everyone present.

However, under Klein's control, this power of the sun specifically bypassed Esther. He was worried that this purifying light would touch the "Zoya" in her body.

Led by Klein, the group set off for the telegraph office, where Captain Ireland had gone before.

Esther walked in the front left of the team, Daniz on the right, and the three of Clevis served as guards for the rear half circle. Klein even took out Azik's copper whistle as a bait to attract those monsters first. Make him a target.

After successfully dealing with a wave of flying heads, no one in the group dared to delay, and quickly followed Klein's footsteps towards the telegraph office.

"The direction of Daniz is not a human head this time." Esther's premonition moved and she reminded her.

This is indeed no longer a human head, but a body covered in a cloak. Blood is still dripping from the broken neck, and there is nothing above it.

After it raised its legs, it quickly ran towards Klein, but Danitz happened to be in its path.

Esther's right hand grasped it, and the headless corpse immediately froze in place. Her body was thrown forward, but she was quickly pulled back to maintain balance.

The orange fireball compressed several times in Daniz's hand was thrown out, and an explosion was heard in the chest of the body. The headless body was blown backwards, and the clothes burned and shattered, revealing the charred and collapsed chest.

But such damage to these monsters can only delay their actions.

After a light snap of his fingers, Klein's figure disappeared out of thin air, jumped up from the flames on the monster's black cloak, pierced the headless monster with his cane, inserted it into the ground with his backhand, and used the "Sun Brooch".

Esther's right hand clawed at the air, her body twisted in a weird circle, but the headless monster fell into silence.

However, more than a dozen light spots also fell down at her signal. When everyone's attention was diverted by the monster, they quietly stuck to the ground and flew away into the mist.

Five seconds later, Klein recited the word "sun" in ancient Hermes, causing the drizzle of holy water to condense in the air and cover the headless corpse.

Soon, the monster convulsed and turned into blood.

Such a battle that was beyond common sense made the two children couldn't help but sigh in admiration. The "Gehrman's Adventures on the Sea" that Esther had fabricated before now made them feel that they might be true.

In the next few minutes of walking, the group did not encounter any more monsters.

With his spiritual vision, Klein observed tiny spots of light that were constantly moving around in the nearby gray fog. He glanced at Esther expressionlessly, without revealing her little movements.

After arriving at the telegraph office in Port Bansi, Cleves took the initiative and knocked on the door.

"who?"

The female voice inside was very calm and had no emotional fluctuations. It reminded Esther of the owner of the Green Lemon Restaurant.

"We want to find Mr. Ireland, the captain of the White Onyx."

The female voice at the door replied: "He and his first mate went to the church next door."

When Klein tossed the gold coins to divine the authenticity of the other party's words, Esther took two steps forward and nodded to Cleeves. Although the former adventurer didn't know what she was going to do, she also stepped back and closed the door. The position was given to Esther.

Esther knocked on the door again very politely:

"Knock, knock, knock."

The female voice inside became a little more urgent: "Please leave immediately."

"You don't welcome me so much?" Esther smiled and lowered her voice. Only Klein and Daniz could hear her clearly through the extraordinary hearing provided by their extraordinary power.

Logically speaking, people inside can't hear it.

"This has nothing to do with you." The female voice behind the door only spoke faster without any fluctuation.

But a small crack suddenly cracked at the corner of the door.

Esther was stunned for a moment, then stepped back, returning to her guard position on the side of the team with a slight regret.

There were too many people present, and she didn't dare to be presumptuous.

Klein gave her a confused look, Esther shook her head, and Klein said to the others: "Church of Storms."

Since the other party is very afraid of fellow villagers, it is best to take advantage of this time to leave as soon as possible to prevent these weird Bansi Island residents from breaking up with each other.

Not long after, everyone arrived outside the Church of Storms. The church door was also closed. Klein went up and knocked on the door again.

A slightly wary male voice came from the door: "Who?"

After Klein and Ireland faced off about the "White Shark Compensation", which only the two of them knew about, other people also spoke out one after another, which made Ireland feel relieved and open the door.

Esther frowned and stared at the holy emblem above the church, and stopped outside the door: "Gehrman, I'll wait for you here, and I won't go in."

Klein hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

Then he pointed at Daniz: "You, stay here."

Daniz clicked his tongue and shook the lantern in his hand: "Okay, she is the safest around her anyway..."

When Ireland was explaining to Klein the changes that had occurred in the church, Esther and Daniz stood on the left and right by the church door, like two door gods.

Danitz's chatterbox came back again. Compared to the unsmiling, "cold and cruel" Hermann, Hamel was indeed a much better chat partner, even though her words were often inaccurate.

"I said, the monsters on this island seem to be a little afraid of you, right?"

Esther blinked innocently: "Is it possible that it's because I am also a 'monster'?"

"Hey! Don't scare me!" There were only two of them at this time, and Daniz felt a chill rising from his back.

Esther chuckled twice, then suddenly turned cold: "Young man, don't you know that there are many things in this world that are more terrifying than death..."

Daniz took two steps back and clung to the edge of the door of the Church of Storms: "You, you—"

Several points of light emerged from the mist, floated closer to here, and blended into Esther's hair. Her expression was gloomy, the light color of her eyes gradually turned thicker, and a rich darkness seemed to rise inside.

Esther slowly took two steps towards Daniz:

"Such as letting dear 'Iceberg Admiral' know that you love her so passionately!"

Daniz's pale face froze for a few seconds, and then quickly turned red: "Who told you!? Me? Haha, I didn't!"

Esther took two steps back with a smile, and the strangeness in her eyes completely disappeared.

Daniz was stunned for a few more seconds, and then shouted angrily: "Okay! You deceived me!? That was your ability just now! I have finally seen through you, a black-hearted woman!"

"How can you say it's a lie? I just made a reasonable inference, and you showed it to me yourself." Esther shook her head and said, "Let me remind you, Mr. Danitz, your face was as red as if you had been slapped. .”

At this moment, Klein walked out and glanced at the two of them with cold eyes: "It's very noisy."

Daniz subconsciously covered his mouth, but he shook his finger at Esther even more angrily, full of condemnation. Esther spread her hands and stood aside honestly.

Klein and Ireland had already taken a rough look at the situation in the church, including the murdered priest, and it was time to return to the ship as soon as possible.

With the addition of captain Ireland and first mate Harris, the team's defensive strength was greatly enhanced. Klein also took back the cold-breathing copper whistle in his arms.

After walking a few steps, Ireland suggested going to the telegraph office and reporting the situation here to the Church of Storms.

This road would pass through the telegraph office anyway, so Klein had no objection.

But not long after, another figure carrying a lantern appeared on the opposite side of the team.

The man was wearing a dark blue bishop's robe with a storm symbol embroidered on it. His head was slightly lowered and his steps were staggering as he approached.

As soon as Ireland recognized the other party's identity, he shouted: "Bishop Miller?"

The middle-aged man raised his head and raised the lantern: "Are you, Ireland?"

Esther's expression suddenly became serious. She reached out to grab it, and her eyes turned dark red for a moment, but the redundant color completely dissipated the next moment.

Esther quickly digested the extra thoughts in her mind and shouted to Ireland in front:

"Stay away from him! He has been contaminated by unknown forces! He is here to intercept us!"

Light burst out from the mist in the distance, and the thunder light circled like a roaring dragon, and continued to hit the peaks of the mountains, one after another, causing the deathly silence on the island to be blown away by the sound of thunder.

Bishop Miller's light brown eyes suddenly turned dark red. He stared at Esther, his priest's uniform turned up crazily, and the strong wind suddenly surged out of him.

Several ordinary passengers were completely unable to withstand such a hurricane. Esther quickly jumped out and pulled Donna and Denton into her arms to block them, so that the two children would not fall directly to the ground.

The next second, Esther immediately turned over and jumped to the side, quickly distanced herself from the others, and almost left the edge of the bright lights.

Because that Bishop Miller was still staring at her closely and even raised his hands towards her.

Esther had a premonition that his next attack would be even more ferocious.

"Hamel, be careful!" Klein suddenly shouted, "There is an ambush in the fog!"
