Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 15 Black Thorn

When Dunn was in the office finishing the report, he would glance at his pocket watch from time to time to confirm the time.

Esther came back much sooner than Dunn imagined. Before twelve o'clock, she stepped into the door with a few bags, and gave Rosanne a pack of slightly crushed lemon cake. Help share with others.

The main reason is that apart from Captain Dunn, the oldest old Neil, and Rosanne who often sits at the front desk, Esther has not yet matched the names and appearances of other people. She was afraid that she would call the wrong person, so she had to directly Give it to Roseanne.

"Thank you Esther, you are so considerate! Everyone can have afternoon tea with this. By the way, do you need me to order another lunch for you?"

"Thanks but no, I've eaten."

The croquettes were eaten by Esther all the way shopping, and they were cold by the end, and the taste was a bit greasy, and she couldn't eat anything now.

"So you live down there? It seems that you have never seen anyone living underground. Has the captain assigned you a room? Even if you are a newcomer, you don't have to be too restrained. Everyone is very easy-going. If you meet If you encounter difficulties, you can tell me, let me tell you quietly, you can talk to the captain more, he told us in private to pay more attention to newcomers!"

Roseanne was a little too enthusiastic, and Esther felt that she wanted to chat with someone, so she quickly raised the bag in her hand to Roseanne: "I'll put the things back first, and I'll talk to you later!"

"Okay, okay, then you go to pack your things first, do you want me to take them down for you?"

"No, no, no! It's not that heavy!"

Esther hurriedly left the reception hall, feeling afraid of Rosanne's passionate gossip.

Before going back to Chanis, Esther went to say hello to Dunn.

Apart from being a little surprised when Dunn saw Esther, he also let go of his worries: "You came back very early. Didn't you encounter any accidents?"

After a moment of hesitation, Esther asked, "Is there a man with black hair and green eyes among the Nighthawks? The kind that looks particularly good-looking."

Dunn nodded with a smile: "Tingen is a small city after all, and it's normal for you to meet Leonard. What happened?"

"He seemed to suddenly regard me as some kind of bad guy, and then apologized in a panic and ran away."

"Hahaha... His personality is just like this. Sometimes he can be reckless, but most of the time he is a casual and easy-going young man. I will introduce him to you when the rotation between him and Kenli is over tomorrow."

Esther said again, "If I want to write to Ms. Daly, can Mr. Smith forward it for me?"

Dunn didn't expect that Esther would still miss Daly's affairs, and smiled gratifiedly: "Of course. And you are like everyone else, just call me captain."

"Alright Captain!" Esther shouted with a grin.

To become a professional nighthawk, she still has a lot to learn, but gaining the approval of others is the first step in self-positioning for Esther, and she is very happy to have the opportunity to be accepted by the people of Blackthorn Security Company.

Esther felt that this was her new beginning.

That's the way life is to her, there's always a balance between loss and gain, at least on the surface.

-

The next afternoon, Leonard stepped into the front hall of the Blackthorn Security Company. As soon as he entered, he saw Esther who was being dragged by Roseanne to chat.Esther's eyes were already empty, but she still gave some "suspected listening" responses from time to time, which made Rosanne continue to discuss various gossip and news with great interest. She still had the new issue of "Ting Root City Honest People Newspaper.

"Good morning Leonard! You must have not seen Esther yesterday, right? She is our new member! Dunn said that she has a special situation and will live in Chanis Gate for a long time. Esther, I will give Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Leonard Mitchell. Although he is young, he is already a Sequence Eight. He is very powerful, right? Although he is not as talented as Daly, he will not be sure in the future. .”

There was a trace of blush on Leonard's face, he nodded at Esther indiscriminately, and rushed into the door leading to the corridor, not daring to stay here any longer.

So embarrassing!

Esther looked at Luo Shan with a funny face: "You are obviously very young too! I remember that the captain and Ms. Daly are both Sequence Sevens. Is it hard to get a Beyonder?"

Roseanne's interest gradually sank, she stopped smiling, and looked at Esther nervously: "Becoming a Extraordinary is not a good thing, it is very dangerous... You should be a clerk like me now, right?"

Esther shook her head: "I may not be an ordinary person anymore."

"That's it, no wonder the captain let you live below. You know, even the guards won't spend the night inside the Chanis Gate. Night is the time when the seal inside is strongest, and it will have a great impact on the body."

Esther avoided this topic, she didn't want to make herself appear too "different": "However, Leonard has been in Blackthorn for a while? When Ms. Daly visited me before, he seemed to be there."

"That's right, he's been here for almost three years, and this year he's been promoted to Midnight Poet. Given Leonard's age, he still has hope to go further. If it wasn't for his sloppy personality and his tendency to be lazy, the captain might I will consider training him more. Don't look at Leonard's serious face just now. He just became a 'Sleepless' and hadn't mastered the power to change his body. He wanted to sprint down the stairs, but he rolled like a wheel. After a few laps hahaha..."

Seeing that Rosanne became happy again, Esther couldn't help but also laughed, Rosanne's gossip was not only fun but also provided her with a lot of information: "That's really miserable, as long as people are fine."

Viola came up from the ground. This tall, thin girl with brown hair tied into a ponytail and freckles wore rimless glasses. She was quite delicate and elegant: "Esther, Captain Dunn asked you to go to his office."

Esther immediately got up from the soft armchair: "Okay, I'll get down now!"

Leonard was also standing in Dunn's office, and when he saw Esther coming in, he became even more nervous, which made Esther cover her mouth and start laughing.

"Let Leonard take you to meet the fighting teacher today."

"Okay, is there anything I need to be aware of?"

Dunn glanced at Leonard: "You can briefly introduce the training program to her on the way, and tell her the address of Gawain's place. If you accompany Esther to go today, she can go by herself next time."

Then Dunn looked at Esther again: "If you are afraid that you won't find a place, you can take a taxi, and the fare can be reimbursed."

Esther deeply felt the benefits of being a Nighthawk: "I know!"

"The reason why your fighting class was advanced is to ensure that you have the power to protect yourself. Your current physique is stable at Sequence Seven, but the path from which the Holy Church did not say clearly, this is a secret that I cannot understand."

Leonard looked at the short girl in surprise, she didn't even look 20 years old, which was younger than Daly.Esther has already reached Sequence Seven, she is definitely the best among Extraordinary people, a true genius - no wonder the old man said that her fate is very strange, she is definitely not an ordinary person!

Thinking about it this way, the scene in the bookstore yesterday became very dramatic. He provoked a Sequence Seven Extraordinary?
Leonard felt the shock, but doubled his embarrassment.

Esther's face was full of innocence: "I don't know what sequence number I am, I'm not even sure what ability I have..."

Leonard had a lot of questions he wanted to ask the old man, but with Dunn and Esther present, he had to suppress his curiosity.

Dunn nodded: "So I plan to let you go to the fighting teacher for training first, which will allow you to know your physical limit while getting exercise."

Esther had no problem, she was just dying to do something about it.

Leonard had some opinions, but he was embarrassed to mention them. He thought of being alone with Esther in the carriage, and he had the urge to bury himself.

Dunn glanced at Leonard: "I thought you would be happy to sneak out."

Leonard laughed dryly: "Haha, I'll take her right away! Don't worry, captain!"

Esther was wearing a shirt and trousers today, not a skirt, so she didn't need to change clothes. Seeing Dunn nodding, Esther followed Leonard.

Before the two of them walked out of the room, Dunn said again: "Wait a minute, there is one more thing, you still have to change into the uniforms of probationary inspectors. After all, Mr. Gao Wen's agreement is a contract signed with the Police Department, or You have to put on a show and don't make it too difficult for him."

The two agreed, watched Dunn think for a few seconds, and heard him say again: "By the way, I asked César to wait for you this morning. After changing your clothes, you can go directly to him for a ride."

This time Dunn didn't stop the two of them again. Esther closed the office door and couldn't help asking Leonard in a low voice: "Captain Dunn's memory is always up and down like this. I really don't need to see a doctor." ?"

Leonard shrugged lazily: "The captain has always been like this. I heard from Daly and Roseanne that he started to forget things after he was promoted to Sequence Seven's 'Nightmare' several years ago, and of course he forgot all the little things."

"Will promotion make people prone to amnesia?"

"No, it's related to the ability of 'Nightmare'. Extraordinary people of this sequence can freely enter and exit the dream world, and can stay awake in the dream. They can control and construct the dream, and even directly pull other people into the dream."

"It's a very practical ability, so it's hard for the other party to hurt 'Nightmare' in the dream?"

Leonard showed hesitation: "According to common sense, mystical things may cause harm to the dreaming 'Nightmare'. I'm just a Sequence Eight 'Midnight Poet' now, maybe I'll know what it feels like when I get promoted .”

Esther recalled her meeting with the night in the dream: "This way is the power of the goddess of the night, isn't it?"

"We generally call it the 'Sleepless' path, because it is the name of Sequence Nine. Captain Dunn should have told you when he introduced Kenli and Luo Yao that they are 'Sleepless'."

Esther couldn't help but want to tease Leonard: "I heard you rolled down the stairs when you became 'Sleepless'?"

Leonard was silent, and he glanced at Esther full of aggrieved eyes.

"Hahahaha don't mention it, I won't mention it!" Esther grinned, "Thank you for explaining this to me."

"You're welcome."

Because Esther unkindly uncovered that period of dark history, Leonard's answer sounded a bit gnashing of teeth.
