Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

"Hamel."

Esther, who was blowing wind on the side of the ship, turned her head and saw Aaron walking out of the captain's cabin and onto the deck.

"Captain Aaron, what's the matter?"

Aaron smiled and shook his head, the hem of the red coat "chattering" in the sea breeze: "I just see that you often stand here, curious, come and have a look, what are you looking at?"

"Ocean." Esther opened her arms towards the unchanging sea and sky outside the ship's side. "In your eyes, my behavior should be stupid? Hey, I'm like a country bumpkin who has never been out of the village."

The morning sun shines on the sea, Aaron took a deep breath, touched his arms subconsciously twice, and found that he did not bring out a cigarette case, so he had to give up the option of using nicotine to relieve tension.

"Do you like the sea very much?"

Esther stared at Aaron for a few seconds before turning her head back: "I can't say I like it, but being able to hear and see the world gives me a wonderful feeling of being 'alive'."

It is rare for Aaron to be so incomprehensible to others, usually he is the one that others cannot understand, so he imitated Esther and leaned against the fence, trying to assume a more relaxed and casual posture.

"You seem to have a very strange influence on my approach." Without a cigarette on his mouth, Aaron couldn't help but suppress the idea of ​​saying something.

"Really?" Esther pretended to be stupid bluntly, "but I'm a 'stealer', isn't that why I boarded this ship? You entrusted me to steal the keys on the old key. pollute."

Aaron knocked on the fence: "Princess, this ship 'Clover' contains the 'extraordinary characteristics' of the same path as mine, which is why I was forced to be her captain. It's just a relationship between me and her." 'Luck' was always playing against each other and never agreed."

Esther smiled and did not speak, she was waiting for Aaron's next narration.

Aaron looked towards the sea: "This feeling was not so strong before, but now I seem to be able to feel a little bit of the princess' will". Alexander told me how you were pierced by the bone sword, when your blood dripped On the 'Clover', she was absorbed in an instant."

"Yeah, I was still worried about how to clean the floor, but I didn't expect it to clean it up for me." Esther said jokingly.

"But the 'Four Leaf Clover' doesn't seem to be able to fully withstand the power in your blood. In order to protect herself, she instinctively eliminated that influence and passed it on to me."

Aaron made a gesture on his head: "I can't explain this to Alexander or Thomas, it's a very strange feeling..."

"It's like being connected to some kind of deeper resonance. Can you see the silver world in the light?"

Aaron's eyes brightened when he heard what Esther said: "Fate is a river, isn't it?"

Esther was a little surprised: "Do you know that kind of special existence outside of reality and the spiritual world?"

"Although I am not a member of that school, my teacher has taught me the corresponding knowledge. In the theory of the life school, in addition to the material world, the soul world and the existence of the absolute rational world, the path most closely related to me It's the 'River of Destiny'."

Esther looked at Aaron: "Your teacher seems to know a lot, but I haven't dealt with the Life School."

Aaron didn't seem disappointed, but even happier: "It's more reassuring for me to know this."

But he didn't explain much about this, but pointed to the sea: "We will go west for a while, and we will arrive at Nahuatl Island, where we will take a rest, visit the local market, and see if there is any demand. Supplementary supplies."

Esther replied with a flat "hmm".

The silence between the two fermented for a moment, Esther stretched her waist, it was almost time for her and Alexander to have an appointment for class.

She asked Aaron: "It's just my little curiosity. Will facing that long silver river make you feel painful?"

Aaron recalled his feelings at that time: "What I felt at the time was more shock and bewilderment. Seeing too many endless possibilities made people feel at a loss. 'Now' and 'reality' became very small, I would feel easily lost, but not painfully close to being out of control."

"So that's it, thank you for your answer. Then you blow it slowly, and I'll go first."

"But I can't count my feelings. At that time, the princess cast a light curtain on me. If it wasn't for her, maybe I would really lose control."

Esther scratched her head, revealing the pattern of silver threads and feathers intertwined on her hand: "I should say sorry, I didn't mean to affect you and the 'Clover'."

Instead, Aaron urged her: "Alexander is very strict in teaching, you should go to him as soon as possible, and don't be late."

Esther smiled and waved her hands, and walked into the cabin, leaving Aaron leaning against the fence, thinking about the conversation between the two just now.

It is not the school of life, but has the power of "thief" and "monster" paths at the same time. If she is really blessed by the gods, which aspect is the gift?
When I got to Nahuatl Island, I hope the teacher can give me a clear answer or a suitable solution.

-

Three hours later, noon.

The sea level is no longer monotonous and lonely, and a volcanic island with lush jungle can be seen from the bow of the "Clover".A thin layer of mist gathered over the island. Although the sky was cloudy, it didn't look like it was raining.

The surroundings of this island are dry and scorching hot. The closer you get to it, the clearer the feeling. There is a kind of heat here that does not belong to January, but more like summer in June and July.

Esther is not sensitive to temperature, but Mary, Thomas and others who are about to land have changed into lighter one-piece short-sleeved shirts.

Mary wiped her forehead, and complained to Hamel next to her: "This is the first time I have come to this island. In the past, we used to go directly to Port Behrens through a more tortuous channel."

"Is this your first time here too?"

"Hmm..." Mary then realized that she seemed to have missed something, and subconsciously changed the subject, "But this channel seems to be safer, this time the voyage is very calm, it doesn't feel like you are on a violent sea, like walking As in the regular shipping lanes of those merchant ships."

"Your previous voyages were dangerous?"

"Of course it's not that easy! The name of the Sea of ​​Madness well explains its horror. The numerous natural disasters here can easily destroy a ship!"

Esther blinked: "Maybe your captain and the 'Clover' are lucky enough."

"Tsk, why did you say exactly the same thing to the captain..."

This small island is not like the Rorsted Islands. Because of the abundant resources and protected waterways, the traffic is prosperous. The local circulation here is more materials than currency, and there are quite few people who know the route to this small island.

According to Alexander, the local residents also communicate in Dutan language. The original aborigines probably immigrated from the Balam Empire. Their history has not been verified, but there are scattered small villages to prove that there are still people living here.

After Mary and Thomas took people off the boat, they would also go to the local market, and Alexander would go with them to observe the folk customs of the local residents.

If they can't communicate, they will also consider using rougher methods to "communicate". As for the specific situation, Esther didn't ask, and the others would not answer her.

Esther did not plan to follow Mary and the others to get off the ship. Out of some indescribable premonition, she decided to stay on board, so she stood on the bow and watched everyone leave the "Clover" and go to the burning ship. The direction of the smoke.

It didn't take long for their figures to be covered by the dense jungle, and Esther was out of sight standing on the bow.

And her hunch came true.

The "spiritual intuition" was touched, and Esther raised her head and looked at the sky.

Green pea vines hung down from the sky, growing thicker and thicker, and soon intertwined into one piece, surrounding Esther. Those huge green leaves just formed a foothold, forming enough The steps for her to step on.

"Is this 'please enter the urn'? Doesn't it tell me that there is something abnormal?"

Esther muttered something funny, but she stepped on the blade casually, letting the cage made of pea vines curl up and roll her up.

Jack's magic beans?Is there such a fairy tale in this world?
The first thing Esther thought of was Emperor Roselle, but considering that he himself had been assassinated for a hundred years, who would cast this spell?The emperor hardly left behind such fairy tales, could it be some secret organization related to him?
Esther touched the pea vine beside her, and began to envy others for such wonderful sequence abilities, and became greedy for others' spellcasting abilities.

Can Snow White, Cinderella or the Ugly Duckling be manifested through such spells?I don't know what effect it will have.

However, considering that the opponent can cast such a powerful spell, Esther will not be so reckless as to steal the opponent's extraordinary ability casually for fun.

The pea vine finally stretched Esther to the top. Here is a platform made of gray and white clouds, because there are always clouds floating over Nahuatl Island, which makes it blend in well with the environment and is completely inconspicuous before descending.

The moment she was pulled up, Esther felt invisible barriers erected around her, and the other party had made preparations to welcome her early in the morning.

Esther jumped off the leaves of the pea vine, stepped deep and shallow among the cotton-like soft clouds, and walked towards the nearly three-meter-high luxury carriage.

This carriage is also very interesting. The body is a huge pumpkin, and sitting on the driver's seat is a huge mouse dressed as a waiter.

But when she was two meters away from the carriage, Esther realized that she had reached the end of the cloud, and if she went any further, she would step into the air and fall to the ground, so she stopped in time.

Esther looked at the carriage curiously: "Should I call you...'Cinderella'?"

"Have you heard the story?"

The curtain of the carriage window was lifted, revealing a soft but heroic face, with long hooked eyebrows, deep blue eyes as calm as tanzanite, and long chestnut hair curled down on her shoulders.

While Esther was looking at the other party, the other party was also observing her.
