Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 11 The New Environment

Esther turned over from the stone bed very hard, but the stone bed was not wide enough for her to toss, she fell directly to the ground, and let out a wail.

A voice came from outside the stone gate: "Esther? Are you okay?"

Esther got up quickly, and fumbled to turn on the lamp on the wall, so as not to hit her toes when she opened the door in the dark.

"I'm fine! Here I come!"

As soon as the stone door was opened, Dunn, who was holding a ball of quilt, saw Esther's hair curling up: "Sorry, did you disturb your sleep? I brought your things to you."

Esther quickly took the quilt and put it on the stone bed. Only then did she notice that there were still two boxes beside Dunn's feet. Someone should have helped him move them, but she left after moving them.

"Thank you! It's really troublesome for you."

Dunn helped Esther move the suitcase into the door: "If you need anything else, you can tell me."

"No need for now, I will stay here well."

Dunn had never seen such an active "prisoner", and he was speechless for a moment: "That's good."

Esther pointed to the two boxes: "Then can I put it outside the door after I take it out? It takes up a lot of space in the house."

"Okay, I'll take them with me when I get down for lunch."

Dunn even came in with a tin bucket, telling Esther to throw anything she didn't need here, and then told Esther to ask for anything before he left the stone house.

"Does the Captain Smith that Daly mentioned have a bad memory..." Esther muttered, opened the box, looked through the things inside, most of them were clothes, and they were neatly folded.

Since there was no wardrobe in the house, Esther kept the box and dug out the sundries she had left in Slim’s Bakery from another box. Esther took out the handkerchief that was used as a nest, and put it on the bedside .

Because there was nothing else to do, Esther focused on packing things very quickly. The notes she made in the Church of the Night, many newly bought books and pens were inside, a green striped scarf with a bear pattern sewn on it, Esther didn't have much personal belongings other than a small bunch of colored thread spools, and the wallet, and the box was quickly emptied.

"Oh, I didn't even have time to make it up." Esther put the colored thread rolls on the stone table together with the books, adding a touch of color to the room. She originally planned to try to make small bracelets to earn extra money. She learned this skill when it was popular in high school, but before she had time to do it again, she was brought here.

It seems that there is no need to worry about making money for the time being.

Esther thought optimistically, pushed the empty box outside the stone door, sat on the chair and read the "Selected Poems of Roselle" that she hadn't finished before.Her evaluation of this collection of poems pushed by the clerk is: there are so many copies.

This caused her to have a subtle expression on her face when she was reading.

Not long after, Dunn knocked on the stone door again, and Esther came out immediately, and took the paper bag he was holding, which contained bacon and lettuce sandwiches, a bag of water, a piece of muffin cake and an apple.

"Thank you! Please tell Ms. Daly not to worry about me, I'm fine here."

Dunn nodded silently, picked up the empty box at the door and left.

Esther looked along the corridor to the other side. She always felt that there was something very noisy in there, always whispering, but after Dunn left, it quickly quieted down, as if afraid of her attention.

Is there anything else locked down here?

The power full of night-like feeling took root everywhere, and Esther was relieved.Although Esther was curious, she would not cause trouble. She happily closed the stone door with her lunch, without any intention of finding out.

Esther continued to read the poetry collection of Emperor Roselle while she was having lunch. Judging from these plagiarized writings, he was definitely a time traveler, just like herself and the Evernight Goddess.Esther hasn't had time to collect information about Emperor Roselle's life, and she doesn't know if he is still alive?
But judging by the way the clerk boasted about his collection of poems, it is likely that he is no longer alive, and the dead always get more respect than the living.

Of course, the real gods in this world may be excluded.

Esther was thinking about what she should do in the future. Her condition was indeed not suitable for running outside. According to what Hei Ye said, she would affect any creature that came into contact with her, but she didn't think there was anything wrong.

Well, it seems that she can easily win the favor of others, and then hold their fate...

The moment this idea came up, Esther keenly kept it. She sat up a little bit, put down the sandwich on her lips, and remembered how she tampered with the instructions of the little bug when she was blocked in that alley. .

This is the key?Seems to have found a clue.

What did Hei Ye say about the little bug?

Thinking of this, Esther gnawed on a sandwich, pulled over her notebook, and quickly sorted out the current clues, especially circled a few key words: fate, other worlds, the goodwill of the night, plans, and the history of the true god.

After thinking and thinking, Esther still wrote the word "Amon" in the corner, in a relatively inconspicuous place.

These are all things she needs to observe and collect clues. In the short term, she will target these. I don't know if Ms. Daly and her teammates understand.

Esther took it out of her pocket for a long time before catching the little bug. It was tightly curled up, surrounded by a black shell, and a faint light could be seen surrounding it.

"Huh..." Esther pinched the shell tentatively, but it was too hard to pick at all. She was worried about hurting the little bugs inside, so she could only give up the act of breaking the shell violently, and put it in the handkerchief beside her bed , Wrap it carefully.

The afternoons were so leisurely for Esther that she kind of missed being busy in the bakery.

She unwrapped the colored threads, and according to the weaving technique in her memory, put the thin threads out of the ring and through each other, and the black and gold intertwined bracelet took shape little by little.Esther picked up these two colors at random. She thinks it will look better than pure black and white with some colors.

After all, it is just a test product, so there is no need to waste too much wire.

But there was still an unexpected incident in the middle. Esther heard hurried footsteps outside the door, but they didn't rush to her room, but went to a place deeper in the corridor, and then left quickly.

Esther poked her head out, and there was only an empty and dimly lit corridor, with candles on the walls steadily illuminating the limited range of sight.

Hearing the footsteps, one is Mr. Dunn, and the other is lighter than him. It seems to be a shoe with a heel. It is more likely to be a woman?Esther didn't deliberately count the time, but when Dunn's tired footsteps sounded, it was after she had finished braiding most of the bracelet.

It took a long time, at least an hour.According to what Mr. Neil said before, they should have brought something to fight.

When the meal was delivered in the evening, Daly came down with Dunn. As soon as she asked at the door, Esther opened the door happily: "Ms. Daly!"

Daly quickly restrained the sadness on her face, and showed a gentle smile: "Good evening, Esther, this is the dinner we brought you. How about staying here today?"

Esther took the paper bag: "It's good, but it's a bit boring. Maybe I'm used to being busy in the bakery, and now it's hard to meditate when I'm free."

Daly breathed a sigh of relief: "I went to see Wendy, she told you to take care of yourself, everything is fine in the bakery."

"Won't you feel...uncomfortable staying here?" Daly hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask clearly.

"No, to be honest, I feel quite calm," Esther picked up the bracelet on the table and showed it to Daly happily, "This is a handicraft I'm making, and I can give it to you when I get familiar with it." One, it will definitely bring you good luck."

Seeing that the smile on Esther's face didn't seem to be fake, Daly was also a little confused: "Then do you need me to bring you something? Books are also fine, Old Neil has quite a few—"

A lot of occult books.

Dunn cleared her throat suddenly, Da Li's voice stopped abruptly, and she took back what she hadn't said just now, she shook her head in distress: "Well, I remember that Luo Yao still has a few novels, I'll go talk to her Borrow it."

Esther noticed Dunn's attitude, and hurriedly said to Daly: "It's okay, Daly, I have a book to read myself. I'll tell you if I need it."

"The senior deacon sent by the Church of Backlund will arrive tomorrow, and he will help to check your situation. We will definitely help you, this is our duty as nighthawks."

What Daly said was very serious, but the content was a bit subtle, which deviated from the situation where Esther was brought down suddenly.This made Esther couldn't help but glanced at Dunn, feeling that the steady-looking Captain was hiding something from Daly.

Esther nodded at Daly: "It's okay, Mr. Smith also helped me deliver the things, I'm in good condition now, don't worry about me."

Daly wanted to say something else, but Dunn coughed twice, and she immediately took half a step back. After the two nodded to Esther, they left the ground.

Esther looked thoughtfully at the backs of the couple, and took Shimen behind her.

-

Daly followed Dunn and left Chanis Gate. Although she was full of doubts, her trust in Dunn kept her silent.

So Dunn spoke first: "Daily."

"Captain, I'm here."

"Do you remember how long you've known Esther?"

"It's not short, there is a year - no, more than half a year?"

Dunn's face became more and more ugly: "No, absolutely not."

Daly's brows also gradually frowned: "When I asked Langsha before, she described it very vaguely."

Even the answers are not much different from hers, but now that they are connected, something is wrong.

"I asked Kenley to ask again today. Langsha's answer was confirmed to be one year, but Pastor Lost's answer was only four months. Except for taking Esther to the classroom for the first time, he didn't do anything else It’s only when I see Esther every Sunday that I remember that there is such a student.”

"Four months... That means Esther hasn't been in contact with Langsha for that long, and her memory has problems?"

Dunn nodded solemnly: "So far, I can't be sure whether it's just the memory that is affected or just the impression of Esther, but the longer you get in touch with Esther, the more familiar you will feel, and it will occupy an important role in your life. Not an obvious corner."

"But the person involved didn't feel unreasonable at all."

Dunn glanced at Daly who was thinking: "Even if you are aware of this, you will be influenced by her unconsciously. Just like myself, I always feel that I have seen Esther for several days."

Dai Li bit her lower lip: "But she just came here today."

"I didn't realize the serious consequences of allowing Esther to contact ordinary citizens outside. I only realized this after listening to Kenli's report."

Daly couldn't believe it, but what Dunn said made her suddenly enlightened. She silently listened to Dunn's further analysis: "Esther can win people's trust so easily. Once she has any thoughts, everyone around her will be unconscious. accept her decisions, good and bad."

"But she's not like that."

Dunn sighed: "Yes, I can tell, at least not now. But we have no way to guarantee the future situation, so we have to watch Esther stay in the Chanis Gate in a short time. The church said to wait for Ceci When Deacon Ma arrives in Tingen, he will be in charge of sealing Esther's overflowing power, and Deacon Sesima will decide the rest."

"Is she all right?"

"We can't guarantee it," Dunn shook his head, explaining too rationally, "It is our responsibility to protect Tingen, and since Esther appears here, we must bear the brunt of the impact. At least so far, Esther has not lead to serious incidents."

Daly didn't speak, but anyone could see her depression.

"Esther's essence is closer to a living sealed item."

Daly looked at Dunn in surprise and sadness: "How is it possible!? She is obviously——she is an ordinary living person! At most, she is an Extraordinary!"

Dunn's voice gradually lowered: "This is a message from the Holy Church's telegram, and I have also verified that she has no dreams that can be entered. Actually, I shouldn't tell anyone, but I think you have the authority I know, after all, you are already a Sequence Seven, and you will be transferred to Backlund soon..."

Daly stared blankly at Dunn.

Dunn didn't look at her: "I hope you can train yourself with peace of mind and let go of this matter."

Daly suddenly wanted to go up and pinch Dun En's face, yelling and asking this elm head whether she cared about her or not, but she knew that even if she did that, she would only get a firmer refusal from Dun En , because that is the hysteria that only immature little girls have.

In the end, Daly just smiled slightly: "Okay, okay, I will work hard, captain."

So the relationship between us can only be the captain and the team members, is it up to friends?

I'm really not reconciled.

Dunn didn't speak, and he didn't even order "one more thing", he turned and entered his office, and the door closed in front of Daly's eyes.
