Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

After calming down, Esther stuffed the box containing the monocle into her satchel. It suddenly became bulging and took up quite a lot of space.

Esther didn't dare to leave this thing lying around, so she could only carry it with her. She was afraid that when she turned her head, something would put on this pair of monocles, frightening herself to the point of being helpless.

When Esther went to Aaron's room, Alexander and Thomas were already there, but after she knocked on the door and entered the room, the three of them immediately stopped talking.

Aaron pointed to another empty chair that was brought in: "Sit down first, we have a lot to talk about."

Thomas was the first to speak: "First of all, it's a matter of your itinerary. Are you sure you won't go back to the 'Clover'?"

Esther smiled and sat down on the chair: "Yes, I don't plan to go back. I should go to Tillis and look for opportunities to go to sea."

For no other reason than that she could stay more at ease on the sea without landing, away from places where the Amon family might be. Intis did not feel much sense of security for her.

Alexander's eyes were still so calm: "It seems that you don't plan to go to Trier with us either."

Esther shook her head more firmly: "If I don't go, I will probably find a remote place to find a way to get promoted."

Trier? Trier, which was once the capital of the Tudor Empire, will only become more dangerous. There may be a place where various Amons gather for meetings!

Esther has no interest in putting herself in danger.

Aaron rubbed his chin: "Okay, we have actually discussed this result. Anyway, it is quite pleasant to get your help along the way."

Esther just smiled and didn't say anything. If you really want to be a person with vested interests, she actually got more, including the monocle that made her whole body tremble. This is a magical item at the "parasite" level.

But when it comes to "can't be found", this thing seems a bit too deceptive...

Esther's eyes rolled: "Aaron, did your teacher agree to give me this demigod-level extraordinary item because he wanted to get rid of it?"

After a few seconds of silence, Aaron laughed dryly:

"Aha, that's right. The extraordinary items of the 'Stealer' have limited effectiveness for us, and the ability of this item is not stealing, but a weirder form of 'parasitism'."

"It allows people who wear glasses to parasitize any human or animal, including insects. But if the parasitism lasts for more than twenty-four hours, it will gradually lose itself. Such a situation will cause big trouble to the user, and eventually the person will Forget that you were ever human.”

Alexander took out his small notebook again and rummaged for a while: "According to the records, this monocle will also randomly move objects within three meters around it, steal it for a while and then throw it out. It is very random. The wearer will have a habit of stealing. And language and behavior present completely opposite and chaotic logic.”

The more Esther listened, the more she felt something was wrong: "Do you know where this thing comes from?"

Aaron shrugged nonchalantly: "It is said to be an item left behind by a certain 'thief' family. We don't know the more specific content. It cannot be used for divination. It has anti-divination properties."

Esther is now almost certain that the panic she felt before was not only due to psychological shadow, but also her intuition that never fails. This crap thing does have something to do with Amon.

Is this really safe to carry?

"Aaron, where did your teacher keep this thing?"

"I don't know about that. My teacher has mastered many magical items, and this is just one of them." Aaron replied.

Esther always felt like there was an extra hot potato in her satchel, but she was reluctant to throw it away and afraid to eat it. This conflicting mood made her quite distressed.

Aaron looked at Esther's struggling expression and cleared his throat: "Ahem, let's move on to the next thing?"

"You tell me, I'm listening." Esther leaned back on the back of the wooden chair and returned her attention to the conversation at hand.

"My teacher told me that I can give you the summoning spell of her messenger, but there is a small matter."

Seeing Aaron's showy face, Esther had no choice but to urge: "What? You can finish it all at once, I won't be distracted anymore."

"She asked me to ask you if you know anything about the 'Tarot Club' or 'The Fool'."

Esther stared at Aaron expressionlessly for several seconds, then slowly raised the corners of her mouth: "What do you think?"

Aaron moved twice uncomfortably in the armchair. His heartbeat was accelerating due to the inexplicable fear. This was the first time he noticed the intimidation in Esther: "I am only responsible for taking care of such a person." One word!"

Esther thought for a few seconds with a puzzled expression and nodded: "I know. There were people in Backlund who were looking for this 'god'. Is this okay?"

"Well, that's it. My teacher didn't actually ask you to give an answer..."

Esther rubbed her right eyebrow, but she quickly thought about why the "Mysterious Queen" thought of asking herself this question. In addition to the "Black Emperor" she mentioned before, it seemed necessary to write a letter to remind Ke. Ryan, the Mr. "World" he knew, was in a bit of trouble and was targeted by a pirate king who was paying attention to Russell.

Klein and Mr. World... always felt like there was something wrong with their relationship.

Esther waved her hand to Aaron: "It's okay, it's just that I was a little irritable just now because I was thinking about things. You can continue."

Alexander spoke before Aaron. Like Thomas, he had watched the conversation and remained silent before, but now because Aaron was a little distracted, Alexander took the initiative to join the conversation:

"If you have any other conditions, you can raise them now. After we are separated, we will have nothing to help you."

Of course, Esther would not miss this good opportunity: "There is something really important. I want to ask you if you know of any channels for underground extraordinary people in Dilis? It would be best in the form of a gathering."

Thomas immediately laughed: "This condition is too simple. I have two places I can recommend to you, a bar and a dance hall, both of which are very safe."

Thomas told Esther the meeting time and password of the two gatherings. After Esther carefully wrote it down, she said that she had no other needs.

Aaron shrugged again, something he had done a little too often today:

"Okay, I don't have anything else to do. Remember these incantations: 'Invisible creatures that roam the upper world; strange spirits that are friendly to humans; messengers who belong exclusively to Bernadette Gustave '."

Esther's hand shook and she grabbed it subconsciously. She did not deliberately suppress the shocked look on her face: "Belongs to—who alone!?"

"Aaron's teacher." Thomas seemed to be smiling happily. Although he didn't know why Hamel was so shocked, it didn't stop him from having fun.

Esther's face gradually wrinkled, and she finally understood why the "Mysterious Queen" had gone to great lengths to ask her to help rescue Emperor Russell. That was Russell Gustave, her father...

In this case, everything makes sense. Esther's knowledge of those fairy tales attracted the interest of the "Queen of Mysteries", so she was willing to let Esther stay on the "Clover" and observe this through the eyes of Aaron and others. Strange young lady.

Why would she ask me about "The Fool"? Is it because of the relationship with the "Black Emperor", or because I borrowed the Russell diary from Aaron before, or because the "Queen of Mystery" has the intention to cooperate with "The Fool"? When Mr. Fool was collecting Russell's diary, did he learn something?

Is it possible that just like extraordinary characteristics, time travelers also have a law of attracting each other?

Esther couldn't help but laugh at herself in her heart, saying that it was a coincidence that she and Klein met in Tingen.

What a coincidence.

"It's okay, I have memorized this messenger spell."

Esther said covering her face, trying to adjust her expression and force herself to calm down.

At least don't yell at Russell Gustav's name in front of these "Mysterious Queen" connections. There is no special reason. Esther just feels helpless about his daughter's little plan.

He said that he was going to entrust someone to rescue someone, but instead he delivered a rather troublesome magical item to his door. Esther didn't know whether to thank the Gustav lady or make a note in her notebook.

Does the goddess of the night know about this? No, He definitely knew that Russell was a time traveler. With all the extravagances Russell performed in Intis, it was impossible for the goddess of the night not to guess his true identity.

Esther blinked hard twice, feeling like she had missed someone else, but she didn't remember it for a while.

She looked at Aaron again: "Does the messenger who summoned your teacher have any other needs?"

Aaron shook his head: "No, just use ordinary ritual magic to summon it."

"No need to give gold coins?"

Thomas looked at her funny: "Of course not, why do you need gold coins?"

Esther's brows that had just calmed down knitted together again. Every time she sent a message to Klein, the four-headed messenger lady would ask for a gold coin... Comparing it like this, it was really too expensive!

She really needed to find a messenger of her own.

Thinking of this, Esther immediately asked Aaron: "Don't you have your own messenger?"

Aaron shook his head: "Although my sequence is spiritually sufficient, it is not the type that is good at communication or spiritual creatures. I have no intention of forming a messenger before being a demigod."

For a rare moment, Thomas understood his expression and said, "If you are curious, I can teach you how to communicate and establish a contract with the messenger."

This just suited Esther's idea: "It's troublesome."

After learning the general process of the contract messenger, there was no more content in the conversation between the few people.

Aaron and Esther stood up, literally at the same time, and reached out to each other.

The smile that had always been on Esther's face gradually faded: "Thank you for your continued kindness during this time."

Aaron said nothing and nodded silently.

Esther also shook hands with Alexander: "You are a respectable person and a good teacher. I felt that way at first sight, and I feel that way even more now."

Under Alexander's thick lenses, his eyes flickered but were gentle: "You are already fluent in Intis, very smooth. I hope the same will be true for your subsequent journeys."

When Esther stretched out her hand towards Thomas, an envelope was stuffed into her hand: "This is it?"

Thomas bared his teeth: "The false identity document I gave you during this period was under the pseudonym 'Hamel Brook'. Only with this can you buy a ticket. Is it possible that you still have to walk to Dili?" Si?"

That's right, they all know that this is a false identity. If the "Mysterious Queen" knows it, it means Aaron knows it.

"Thanks."

Esther chuckled, turned and walked out of the door.

"Goodbye."

The silence in the room didn't last for a few seconds before it was broken by Thomas:

"We're not going to put a walking powder keg down in Intis, are we?"

"Destiny has its own destiny." Aaron used his most common words to prevaricate him.
