Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

In a place that was originally dark, a crow with a white ring in its right eye suddenly appeared out of thin air. It raised its tail and held its head high. It stepped on a woven bag that emitted light. It looked like a king leaning on the throne. , that proud demeanor even makes people want to laugh.

But those black eyes were so cold that the three of them shuddered subconsciously. When the crow glanced at them, Veronica's sharper intuition even gave her the urge to run away.

"Don't worry, if He wanted to hurt you, he would have done so long ago." Esther had to comfort her. She walked towards the crow, leaned down and stretched out her hand to it.

The crow glanced at Esther again, then flapped its wings and flew to her right shoulder, leaving Esther's hand in the air.

Esther didn't mind. She picked up the woven bag, carried it to her left shoulder, and looked at the three people who were still hesitating again. They exchanged many looks, and all of them fell on Esther. In her eyes, she could clearly see the words that the three of them had difficulty saying. Their current thoughts were too easy to guess.

Does Amon think of me the same way? Esther murmured in her heart. She waited patiently for the three people to speak. She had said before that they were allowed to ask questions, so she was naturally willing to give the other party time to make up their mind.

In the end, the one-eyed young man who was leading the group gritted his teeth. He took half a step forward and responded to Esther's previous words: "You, no, who are you?"

The fear of Esther's strength made him change his name to a more respectful one.

"You can call me Esther, this is my name."

However, her words were too simple, and she did not even reveal any information about her identity. The gray-skinned person opposite scratched her sparse red hair: "I am Zola."

"Hey, is it really okay to just tell her like this!" When the "giant bear" spoke, it sounded like a roar.

"I'm Veronica." The female voice on the other side also introduced herself, making the "Giant Bear" even more confused, but it was obvious that the lady's mind was more flexible, "This big guy is 'Pion' '."

Veronica's attitude towards Esther is more peaceful than the other two. She has already analyzed the current situation in her heart. If Esther really wants to do something to them, they may not be able to resist.

Since the lady didn't show much malice, no one wanted to make an enemy of her, and Veronica certainly hoped that this friendly attitude would continue, and even if she was wary, she should keep it in mind as much as possible.

"So even if we know each other now, you should be from a nearby town?"

As soon as Esther said this, the hearts of the other three people who had just been relieved were lifted up again.

Is this the real purpose of the other party, to use them to find their city? Which city did she come for?

But Veronica is still the one who thinks the fastest: "Yes, which town are you from?"

When Esther heard this rhetorical question, she glanced at the lady one more time, and her answer was also vague: "No, I come from a continent and ocean where the sun is still shining."

"What?" The three of them asked almost at the same time.

"I'm from the outside world." Esther added, observing that the defenses on their faces quickly collapsed under their surprise.

"The outside world!? Is there really another place?" Pien, who was as strong as a "giant bear", spoke excitedly.

Zola's clear one eye widened, and then he smashed the hammers together hard, making a strange echo like ringing a bell. However, his actions seemed to be just to express excitement and did not mean to attack, so There was no flame between the hammers either.

Veronica obviously didn't fully believe that statement, but she quickly took Zola's arm to stop her friend from hitting the hammer again, so as not to cause misunderstanding: "We have never seen anyone from the outside world. In fact, more than a thousand years ago, the last town that had any contact with us had disappeared into the darkness."

Esther smiled and shook her head: "Beyond the darkness and lightning, there is another sky."

"Iron and Fire, this is so exciting! Can we go with you? No, no, we must bring this news back! Everyone will be very happy, I really want to see real plants what does it look like--"

"Okay Pion, calm down!"

As soon as Veronica raised her voice, the guy named Pien immediately shrank his neck and did not dare to make any sound.

Zola let out a long breath. He seemed to have done a lot of mental construction to imitate the same calm attitude as Veronica: "We have never heard of the outside world. I'm sorry, Pion is a little excited."

Veronica intentionally added to this: "We haven't heard from the outside world for a long time, really long, so... do you know a way to get out of here?"

However, after a moment of silence from each other, the hearts of the three of them became cold again.

Esther could only shake her head: "My method of leaving here does not apply to you. After all, you don't look like demigods."

This woman who claims to be from the outside world is at least a demigod... Veronica and Zola made judgments in their hearts at the same time.

Pien was still excited and said anxiously: "Of course we are not, but there are others! Our officers are all demigods, they must-"

"Pion! Stop talking." Veronica interrupted her friend again. She was so angry that her teeth itched with hatred. If this fool continued to speak, he would almost expose everything behind the three of them to each other!

Esther nodded at them: "I have reason to believe that those who meet this condition, the 'sirs' you call them, will not be willing to abandon you."

The crow on her shoulder was really impatient and grabbed Esther's hair at the temples. Esther glared at her: "Is there any point in discussing this with them? You can go directly to see the 'sir' they call him."

Crow then looked at the three people opposite: "Even if you don't tell us, we are going to Spark City next. I know where that city is."

This is a clear threat - even if you don't lead the way, we will go ourselves.

Veronica remained silent this time. Although she didn't quite understand the reason, the black bird always made her feel uneasy, and seemed more dangerous than the lady.

Then they had no choice. Zola looked back at Veronica. Seeing that her quick-thinking companion had no objection, she nodded to the lady:

"Your friend is right, it's time for us to return to our patrol posts."

"Oh, by the way, Gulik you mentioned before, are you here to find him?"

Veronica immediately came back from her thoughts: "Yes, where is he now?"

Esther raised her sword and pointed to the way she came from: "It's not far from here. I'll take you there."
