Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 12 Nighthawk

When Cresta Sesima arrived at the train station, Dunn recognized him from the crowd at a glance, whether it was the suitcase that Sesima was carrying or the pair of distinctive red gloves, they were all very conspicuous feature.Dunn had seen this "Goddess Sword" in Backlund before. At that time, Dunn was promoted to "Nightmare" and received training. He soon returned to Tingen's jurisdiction and firmly guarded this place. small town.

That was a few years ago, but Crestel's appearance hasn't changed much since then: short golden-brown hair is as straight as his spine, dark green eyes peeping from the high collar of his windbreaker , the turned up collar blocked his chin and lips, making it difficult for others to see his complete face.

"Deacon Sesima." Dunn greeted him, accompanied by Frye.

Frye followed suit, and Crestel nodded, "It's a blessing that the steam train is not late today. Let's go there as soon as possible, and this matter cannot be delayed."

It didn't take much time to arrive at the Blackthorn Security Company from the train station. The Nighthawks team in Tingen had their own carriages. Crestel originally preferred public transportation, but since he had a mission, he was happy to spend less time. Take your time on the go.

"So it didn't show any resistance."

"No, Esther even showed a tendency to prefer to stay behind the Chanis Gate. Is this really safe? There are many other sealed items in there."

"I need to see it and confirm it with the Sword of the Goddess before I can decide how threatening it is. But no matter what, I will use sealing means, so you can rest assured."

Dunn hesitated for a while, but said what he was thinking: "Esther seems to be her. Esther's appearance, speech and behavior are all the same as ordinary girls, and she is obviously different from common sealed items. difference."

"It's not certain, if its power increases to a certain level, it may mutate into him."

Dunn suddenly closed his mouth. It was a pronoun that reached the level of an angel or even a god, and it was no longer something he should understand. It would be irrational to ask further.

Crestel glanced at Dunn: "I'm telling you because it will stay here for a while, and I won't take it away. You can make proper use of Esther's characteristics, which will allow it to enter a period with a longer time interval." Sleep to reduce its invisible influence."

After a while, Crestel added another sentence: "You can treat Esther as a human being or as a sealed item, it doesn't make much difference to it. If there is any emergency, please feel free to contact the Holy Church."

"I see. But how can we take advantage of Esther's characteristics?"

"You can let it join the Nighthawks, but it's best to take it out only during dangerous missions, lest it attract the attention of other forces. It can effectively deter other sealed items, and can avoid danger through spiritual intuition, allowing Esther Finding the way or following the traces of people and things can have very lucky results.”

"I see. Are there any negative effects to be aware of?"

"Meeting its requirements in normal times is already paying the price. If you want, the superficial communication and friendship can constitute an advance price. Just make sure it sleeps behind the Chanis gate for a while every day."

Dunn was a little surprised by such loose constraints, but he didn't show it, he just nodded to show that he had made a note of it.

The carriage arrived at Zotland Street. After Dunn and the others got out of the carriage, they walked in front to lead the way. The "Goddess Sword" picked up the silver-white suitcase and followed behind Dunn.

Frye didn't follow. He nodded to Rosanne and went back to the lounge of the Nighthawks team. He had no authority to understand what happened next.

-

When Esther heard someone approaching, she instinctively buzzed and opened the stone door first, and saw a serious man she had never seen before following Dun En, looking at her.The dangerous person in her intuition is him, but Esther can feel a kind of power in the man that makes her feel very close, almost twisted into a real sense of comfort, especially from the box in his hand.

It is the power of the night.

"Hello, are you from the night?"

Such a question is quite impolite, but Krestai didn't have any special reaction, and nodded indifferently: "Yes, you can call me Sesima. Praise the goddess, I am just one of the senior deacons who are loyal to him."

His right hand tapped four times on his chest, drawing the shape of a red moon.

Esther nodded half-understanding: "How can I cooperate with you?"

"Please come with me first. Dunn, is there any room here? The one without anything."

Dunn immediately led the way: "Yes, just go further."

Esther closed the stone gate and followed Crestel, who was also feeling the strange and distorted extraordinary power of Esther, some unreasonable fate was trying to infiltrate the surroundings, but was caught by Chanis Gate. The seal was easily suppressed, silently and steadily concentrated on Esther's head.

If it wasn't for Crestel and the Sword of the Goddess to reach a certain level of resonance, he might not be able to perceive this based on the rank of Sequence Five alone. I am afraid that he must at least reach the status of an angel to see Ai clearly. Stuart's fate trajectory.And the result of ordinary people's contact with Esther will only be the distorted fate that is quickly forgotten after the connection is severed.Esther herself doesn't seem to be aware of this, otherwise she wouldn't have spent a few months in the ordinary world doing nothing.

After letting Esther enter the empty room, Crestel signaled to Dunn that he could leave the Chanis Gate first, and then went in and closed the door by himself.

The faint blue candles on the wall are steady, like hollow pupils, staring at the two people in the room.

"Esther, are you willing to serve the goddess?"

Crestel's demeanor was too serious, which made Esther hesitate for a few seconds, but she finally shook her head: "Sorry, this may be... I'm not a religious person, but I can help within the scope of my ability .”

"No, this is just an answer we need to simply confirm, and it will not affect the next agreement."

Esther was a little puzzled: "Confirm this?"

"The goddess' oracle only tells us to pay attention to you. Unless you are hurting others, there is no need to stop your actions. The best choice for the temple is to let you join the church and enter the Nighthawks of Backlund Diocese according to the extraordinary ability sequence Even the Red Gloves, the Special Operations Group."

"What about me now?"

"If you don't want to, then just make sure that you can absorb the power inside the Chanis Gate every day and night, and you can move freely during the rest of the time."

Esther pointed at herself curiously: "Can I fight like Ms. Daly and Mr. Smith?"

"It depends on your wishes. We certainly hope that you can join the Nighthawks. Ms. Daly will follow me to Backlund today, and she won't stay in Tingen for long."

"Of course I will help them! I don't want that kind of monster killing to happen again, it's too scary for ordinary people."

Crestel's thin lips pursed together, forming a smile without much curvature: "Then we can make a contract from this: you help the Nighthawks in Tingen, and the Church of Evernight will temporarily regard you as a part of it, as long as you It may meet your living needs here until you break away from Tingen's Nighthawk squad."

Esther nodded after thinking about it for a while: "It doesn't matter if it's not a contract, I voluntarily."

"It seems that you have developed a good impression of the Nighthawks here."

Esther laughed embarrassedly: "After all, I am sleeping in the place of the night and eating the funds of the night. It is really too much to not help at all."

There was an inconspicuous twitch at the corner of Crestel's mouth. If it wasn't for the dim light in the room, it would be easy for Esther to see his helplessness—the Chanis Gate is not a good place, why is Esther living here? Can you enjoy it like this?

But considering the church's description of Esther's "inhuman nature", Crestel speculates that Chanismen can suppress her power and keep her awake and sane.

Esther saw that Crestel didn't speak, and quickly added another sentence: "And I admire what they did. They are all very powerful people. I hope they can have a better fate. If you can help, always OK!"

Perhaps Esther didn't know what she was talking about casually, but she was just trying to explain the witty words that took advantage of the church just now, for fear that the very serious deacon in front of her would be dissatisfied.

Crestel placed the box between the two and motioned Esther to bend down like him: "Next, you need to repeat the promise just now under the witness of the holy object. Put your hand on it and OK."

"Ok."

Crestel opened the buckle and lifted the cover to reveal the pure white sword body inside. The overall length is no more than one meter long. The material does not look like ceramics or white jade, but pure white bones. The exquisite sword body It is engraved with complicated and endless runes.

It was white, holy, and emanating a striking white glow, and Esther's head would tingle slightly when she stared at it without blinking, but she couldn't look away.She looked at the bone sword tenderly, especially the light that resembled moonlight. She missed this color so much. Before Crestel could speak, she took the initiative to put her hand on it.

It was a bit cold, but a power that made Esther feel quite peaceful came along, very similar to a dream in the night.

"Esther, do you speak Hermes?"

Esther shook her head and then nodded: "You can speak first, and I can follow along."

When Crestel spoke again, it was in a very ancient language: "The Goddess of the Night, who is higher than the starry sky and older than eternity; please witness our oath."

Esther did speak, too, and she repeated the line after Crestel.

"Esther, are you willing to stay at Chanis Gate, assist the Tingen Nighthawks team, and help each other until fate guides you to leave?"

"I am willing."

"Have you sworn that you will not do any harm to the interests of the Church of the Evernight, will not harm the members of the Church of the Evernight in any way, and will not tell anyone any secrets of the Church of the Evernight?"

"I swear, I will not harm the interests of the Church of Evernight, I will not harm members of the Church, or tell anyone the secret. I will help Tingen's Nighthawk team and protect its fate..."

The light on the sword suddenly became dazzling, and Crestel suddenly noticed that Esther's hair was glowing, and brilliant light spots like fireflies wanted to float from it, but she herself did not realize it.

This made Crestai shout out quickly: "It's ok!"

Esther was frightened, and immediately withdrew her hand, and Crestel immediately closed the lid of the box. His spiritual intuition had a belated premonition, but it was not serious, and the senior deacon was relieved.

"Praise the goddess."

Crestel draws a crimson moon on her chest, Esther raises her hand subconsciously to do the same, but puts it down embarrassingly.
