Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

As soon as the Tarot session was over, Esther didn't rush out directly, but lay tossed and turned on the bed for a few more minutes.

Then she pretended to just wake up, came to the door of the servant room where Danitz lived, and knocked twice.

Although quite curious, she forced herself to endure it.

Danitz opened the door with a face crossed, his eyes bleary.

He was really taking a nap—and he was the only one of the three in the room who really believed in the "siesta".

"Danitz, what is your path?" Esther, who was 1.6 meters tall, stood at the door aggressively.

"Call me Qigen! No, Ziggy!" Danitz was gradually distracted by Esther's messy address, he raised his head disdainfully, "Why should I tell you?"

It was rare that Hamel had something to ask of himself, of course Danitz didn't want to just tell her that, so he simply crossed his arms and looked down at this man with a look of anxiety on his face, Danitz was very proud.

Esther narrowed her eyes, holding her right hand one by one.

She decisively stole the thoughts in Danitz's mind:

"Hunters, provocateurs, arsonists..."

Danitz quickly recovered from his trance, shook his head: "You, what are you doing!?"

Esther shook her empty right hand: "I didn't do anything. Thanks, I see."

But Danitz always had an intuition reminding him: "You must have done something! Your face is full of the expression that you have done something bad!"

Esther subconsciously twitched the corners of her mouth to restore her expression to normal: "Your Sequence Eight is called 'Provocateur'?"

"Yeah, what's wrong? Who told you?"

"You told me."

After leaving these words, Esther walked out of the door and went to the deck to pass the time. Now that the afternoon sun is shining, she needs to find a place to quiet herself.

Danitz recalled it blankly for a moment, but he didn't remember that he had told Hamel or Gehrman about this matter.

He was fooled by this liar again?

-

Esther stood on the side of the boat, quietly gazing at the sea, but her heart was as messed up as a ball of thread.

She really wanted to ask the evil spirit in the underground ruins again, but no matter how strong her curiosity and doubts were, she would not let her risk her life recklessly.

"Miss Hamel."

Esther turned her head and saw Captain Elland wearing a boat hat.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Captain." Esther showed a bright smile.

Elland nodded at her: "It seems that Mr. Gehrman or that gentleman is not with you."

"Yeah, they're probably still taking a nap. After all, what happened last night, Gehrman only went back to his room to rest in the morning."

Esther leaned against the railing, wondering what the captain's intentions were, she couldn't figure it out for a while.

Elland nodded and looked towards the sea: "The wind is strong today, but the waves are just right. If it keeps going like this, maybe we can reach Bayam earlier."

Esther didn't know how to answer the question, so she just responded vaguely: "You're lucky."

"If you have any special purpose in going to Bayam, you'd better keep a low profile. There are quite a lot of pirates active there, and they are easy to be targeted."

Elland lowered his volume: "Just a small reminder, thanks to you in Bansy Port before, I didn't tell Punisher about you."

"Is that so...Thank you for your kindness." Esther smiled slightly, "But Gehrman's target is those pirates."

"So, he is really a sea adventurer?"

Esther pointed to herself: "He is, but I'm not. I'm just a musician at sea."

"Hahaha... Few people would introduce themselves like that," Elland laughed, and the originally tense atmosphere gradually eased, "Then I wish you all the best."

Esther looked at the back of him leaving, and guessed about Elland's conversation.

The captain is guarding against her, why?Because of the light spot ability I showed before, he felt that I might pose a threat to this ship, so he came here to show his favor?

What a sharp eye, as expected of a captain.Compared to Klein, who seemed crazy but landed on the island to save people, he was more worried about the abnormalities on my body, because when those light spots surfaced, they looked like Extraordinary out of control.

What a good and responsible captain.

Esther stretched her waist with a smile, staring at the sea where the waves were more intense than the previous few days.

Bayam... really makes people look forward to it.

Evening of January [-]th.

The "White Agate" had a smooth journey and arrived at the port of Tiana half a day earlier.

However, the weather began to turn bad when we entered the port. The dark clouds hung low in the dark sky, and it seemed that there would be a rainstorm hitting the top of the head at any time.

"It's so bumpy..."

Esther leaned against the window, frowned slightly as she looked at the waves crashing against the boat outside.

Danitz stood behind her, baring his teeth proudly at her: "This is the sea! No matter how powerful it is, it is insignificant in front of the sea!"

"Should we be almost there?"

"Yes, we will definitely be able to stop in the 'City of Generosity' before the sky changes completely, and then find a hotel to take refuge."

Esther glanced at Klein: "Do you want to exchange this guy for a bounty?"

She stared straight at Klein for a moment, not to mention Danitz who was suddenly intimidated. The "hunter" took two steps back and looked at Esther in panic.

Esther smiled at him and said, "It's just a joke."

Why do I feel that you were really asking for my opinion at that moment... Klein sighed in his heart.

Danitz took another step to the side, a little further away from Hamel, and then he saw Gehrman's icy gaze turn around.

After staring at it for several seconds, Klein saw that Danis was almost scared, and then he said, "Tell me which contact points belong to pirates in Bayam."

Danitz's face twitched violently.

Forget it, as long as the target of these two people is not me, it doesn't matter who they are!

With such a mood, Danitz poured out all the news he knew to the two people in front of him.

Not long after, the White Agate let out a long whistle and landed in the port of Tiana before the rainstorm.

The three also came to the deck and stood behind other passengers waiting to disembark.

Esther and Danitz are still chatting:

"Speaking of which, why is it called the 'City of Generosity'?"

Danitz is quite keen on chatting, and he doesn't hesitate to show what he knows in front of Esther, which is quite a show off:
"Bayam is rich in all kinds of things, from spices to minerals, which are so enviable. The climate here is suitable for planting all year round, and the soil is fertile...so the first batch of colonists who came here gave Such a name came out."

"They thought it was a land of treasures, promised by the gods, flowing with milk and mead."

Esther nodded thoughtfully: "Did you come here often before?"

"Of course, there are many places to go here... Well, for you, you can just look for restaurants to eat. There are quite a lot of specialties in Bayam."

Esther glared at him, seeing Donna's family and Cleves approaching, she didn't say anything.

Uldi Blanche took a step forward and asked Klein how to contact him if he wanted to hire him.

After Klein gave the contact information for advertising in the newspaper, the family continued to walk along the aisle to the gangway, but Donna suddenly slowed down and approached Klein:

"Uncle Sparrow, since such, such power must bring danger and madness, why do you..."

Klein whispered the first words:

"For this dream."

Esther looked at the profile of "Gehrman", and added in her heart: In order to go home.

Then Klein's voice became even deeper, and he spit out two other words:
"And, guard."

guard……

Esther suddenly looked away, her heart tightened inexplicably, which made her subconsciously raise her right hand and rubbed the center of her eyebrows.

Always feel a little pain in the head.

After Donna's family left, Klein turned around, and Esther had returned to normal, only Danitz was looking at her suspiciously.

"Danitz."

Klein yelled.

Danis turned around blankly: "Huh?"

"you're free."

Klein lowered his top hat and walked towards the gangway first.

Danitz looked at Esther again, his face full of disbelief: "Did I hear correctly?"

Esther shook her hand at him, and quickly followed Klein's back: "Do you really want to be three thousand pounds? I told you, it was just a joke!"

-

Klein and Esther walked on the streets of Bayam. The buildings here are much denser than Bancy Island, showing a more popular and prosperous place.

But because the rainstorm is approaching, there are not many people walking on the road except for the howling wind. Even if there are, they are often in a hurry, eager to find a place to shelter from the rain.

Because Klein wasn't in a hurry, Esther didn't quicken her pace either.

"Shall I go to the hotel first?" Esther said so, but her eyes lingered on the signboards of several passing restaurants.

"Ah."

Esther even heard the meaning of "in time" in this flat response-God knows how she heard it.

"Is it really okay to just let Danis go?"

"how?"

Esther rubbed her chin, not quite sure about her premonition: "I always feel that Mr. Jin Pound has a bad face, and your luck can dilute a lot when he is by your side."

Klein gave her a puzzled look, but Esther understood what he hadn't said, "When will you still look at faces?"

"Maybe it's because it's bad luck for him to meet you?"

There was a "Gehrman" silence, and Klein said nothing with a cold face.

When the two passed an alley, there was suddenly the sound of messy footsteps inside.

Esther subconsciously put her hand on the claw knife on her lower back, but Klein's spiritual intuition didn't give an alarm, which meant that the visitor wasn't threatening, and he just stood there quietly.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, with rapid and painful breathing.

Esther's eyes widened suddenly, and she saw a man covered in blood who was stumbling towards the two of them.

While running, the bleeding chest and abdomen under the man's palm were exposed, and the wound was so deep that the internal organs exposed in the air could be seen.

"Danitz!?"
