Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

A few days later, it was almost dusk.

The "Clover" is moving along the safe channel on the edge of the violent sea, and will be able to leave this hidden and dangerous sea area tomorrow, and will be able to arrive at Behrens Port in West Balam in two days.

But bad luck seemed to be upon the supposedly lucky ship.

Esther and Mary were practicing Dutan pronunciation with Alexander when the low siren sounded.Esther learned the language much faster than Mary, and she was quite familiar with the ancient Feysac language, which gave her more advantages in converting similar word formations.

The moment she heard the siren, Mary couldn't wait to jump up from her chair and rushed out the door in a hurry. Alexander also raised his head at Esther, signaling her to go out together.

As for Alexander himself, it took a minute for him to walk onto the deck, carrying three boxes in his hands, ready to face the enemy.

Esther was already standing beside Aaron, who was observing the movement in the distance with a telescope in his hand.

Alexander went to Aaron's side to put down the box, and began to erect some kind of mechanical creation on the deck that no one could understand: "What's the situation?"

Aaron adjusted the binoculars, trying to see the unknown ship clearly: "Intuitively, I know that it is a pirate ship, and there is only one, a large pirate ship. Let me see, the other party seems to be approaching, it is... Fuck! It is 'Death'! It is the ship of the 'Undead King' Agaritu!"

Without hesitation, Thomas turned his head and shouted at everyone: "Full sail! The steam engine is burned to the maximum! Full speed! Full speed!"

Alexander didn't stop moving his hands, but his face became even paler: "That's a super-large ship, even if it's a sloop, we may not be able to escape!"

Esther frowned, and rubbed her hands subconsciously, the feathery pattern on her hands turned dark green again: "'Death' is very special?"

There was a hint of fear on Mary's face, and compared to the calmness of the others, she did not deliberately hide her true thoughts: "That is an extremely famous ghost ship, and the most powerful thing driving it is the extraordinary power contained in it. You should have heard of Agaritu's style, bloodthirsty, will wantonly attack any people and ships encountered, only the other three who are also the 'Four Kings' survived after making enemies with them."

Esther nodded, and couldn't help but feel a little heavier in her heart.

But the next development made everyone feel even more uneasy. In Aaron's telescope, the other party also fully sailed and sailed towards the direction of the "Clover" quite "enthusiastically".

Now, even without binoculars, other people can clearly see the black tombstone on the sail. It is upturned like a moon, and the entire hull is painted like black tombstones. There are three rows of cannons scattered on the side of the ship.

Compared with this "Death", the "Clover" is as petite as a toy ship, and it will definitely not be able to withstand a bombardment from the opponent.

However, even if the "Four Leaf Clover" increased its speed to the extreme, the huge "Death" was constantly narrowing the distance between the two, and the silhouette appeared more and more clearly in everyone's sight.

It seemed to be aiming at the "Clover" and killed the ship that started running away from a long distance.

Esther took a deep breath, knowing that she would only be chased closer if she continued like this: "Captain Aaron, don't we use that magical item that can travel through the spirit world?"

Of course, Aaron also saw the speed of the "Death" and knew that going on like this was not an option: "The risk is too great. Tomorrow night will be a full moon. The side effects of that Extraordinary item will directly kill the person who uses it!"

The movement of Alexander's hand suddenly paused: "I can try."

"Don't even think about it!" Aaron flatly rejected his proposal.

Alexander's gaze under the thick lens was very indifferent, and his peace was chilling: "Of course, a boat of people is more important than a boat of people."

Esther patted Aaron on the shoulder: "Let me try? Don't worry, I won't run away with it."

Alexander glanced at her disapprovingly, the gun barrel in his hand was finally set up, he gestured to the other two sailors to come over and look at the gun barrel, ready to fire at any time, and he stretched out his hand and pulled Aaron from his waist collection room key.

Aaron didn't stop him, but his eyebrows were drawn together tightly.

Alexander turned and walked to the cabin, and Esther quickly chased after him.Aaron gritted his teeth and shouted at the two, "Hamel! Then let Hamel come!"

Alexander walked quickly to where the collection room was, and Esther followed him closely: "Let me try it, Mr. Alexander, I can't let you risk your life."

"This has nothing to do with you, you are a guest of the 'Clover'."

"Now I am on this ship, so I am a member of this ship! Everyone on this ship is a community of destiny. Since I have the confidence to bear that kind of nonsense, I can't just watch you risk your life !"

Alexander didn't stop walking, and rarely showed surprise. His face became more gloomy, but he didn't refute Esther's words.

It wasn't until he stuffed the key into the hole that Alexander calmed down and began to tell Esther the process of using the necklace:
"After putting it on, put your hand on the gemstone in the middle, rub it clockwise three times, and then imagine in your heart how big a crack in the spiritual world you want to open, and spread your hands to both sides. Imagine its position as Go a little farther and give the 'Clover' enough time to prepare.

"Once you put the necklace on, you start to have that non-stop raving that you better hold it until we go to the bow and put it around your neck."

Esther nodded vigorously. This method of use is very simple, but this negative effect is too difficult to avoid.

The difference between Esther and others is that there is a "Zoya" with a very high personality hiding in her mind, and Esther will not lose control when faced with ravings, but can clearly capture the essence of ravings. meaning.

Alexander's voice was a little vague: "You think about it, you don't have to get involved in this matter, and I won't necessarily die from raving."

"Please allow a young man's waywardness."

"Just because you're young..."

Alexander shook his head, lifted the cover of the irregular gemstone necklace, and watched Esther reach out to hold it up.

She smelled a strange fragrance again.

The touch of this gemstone necklace is nothing special, but the temperature is higher, and it feels very warm in the hand, without the coldness that jewelry materials should have.

Esther followed Alexander, and the two walked all the way to the bow. Aaron was already waiting here, and Thomas continued to observe the situation of the "Death" at the stern, and directed the other sailors to slow down the ship, giving The "Clover" left enough time to cross the gap in the spirit world.

Aaron looked at the necklace in Esther's hand: "We only have 5 minutes, and the 'Clover' may enter the furthest range of the 'Death' in about 5 minutes."

He didn't say anything more to persuade, but his wandering eyes revealed the nervousness in Aaron's heart.

Alexander raised his palm towards the front of the bow: "Ladies first."

Esther replied with a smile: "This is really an inappropriate joke."

Aaron urged. "Before I changed my mind, my spiritual intuition insisted that this is better, hurry up."

Esther didn't hesitate anymore, let the necklace pass through her head and landed on her neck.

She opened her eyes wide in surprise, because what she heard was not raving, but a painful and weak call, desperate and painful, begging over and over again, even switching languages ​​and repeating.

But now was not the time to heed the cries for help, and Esther ignored the mournfully familiar voice she was sure she had heard before somewhere.

Esther placed her right hand on the largest gemstone in the middle of the necklace and turned it clockwise three times. She raised her eyes and imagined a wide enough arch on the sea in front of her. Pull the sides apart.

"Let's go." Esther said softly to the "Clover".

At the moment when the spirit world blends with reality, a phantom of intertwined colors emerges where Esther is positioned, and a gust of wind blows from it. The body unfolded and condensed into a circle of huge emerald green bubbles.

The ship slammed into the archway of the spirit world, struggling to follow Esther's orders.

In the violent shaking, the "Clover" rushed into the spirit world, and all the people it carried felt a sense of oppression to varying degrees. The passage to the spirit world formed by the necklace was not stable, but it was still under the tolerance of ordinary people. within range.

As good luck remained, after the "Clover" passed through the arch, the gap in the spirit world that was forcibly opened at the rear of the ship suddenly collapsed, cutting off a piece of foamy sea current.

The "Death" which had lost its prey still approached the sea area with a lot of foam left, circling in vain for a while, but because the "Clover" itself had the characteristic of anti-divination, it was unable to follow along. The passage to the spiritual world whose destination is unknown continues to be pursued.

The black coffin-like ship raised its sails and headed eastwards of the Mad Sea, abandoning the pursuit of the force that had attracted it before.

On the other hand, the condition of the "Clover" that escaped the catastrophe is not good.

Esther closed her eyes after entering the crack in the spirit world. She felt the light in her eyes leaking out uncontrollably, worrying that it would affect Alexander and Aaron behind her.

The uninterrupted cries for help were drowned out by more intense humming. The patterns intertwined with feathers and silver threads quickly spread from her hands to her arms and body, and white bone fragments condensed on the outside of her arms, covering the twisting below. deformed cracks.

Those wound-like cracks are not the essence, but the dislocation between the virtual and the real. Without the resistance of these bone fragments, Esther knew that she would likely "disintegrate" under the guidance of the spirit world and dissipate without shed a drop of blood. it's here.

Just like a file to be formatted, after being cleared of abnormalities, it will lose its autonomy and be forcibly integrated into a part of the spirit world.

Esther finally knew where her "spiritual intuition"'s resistance to the spirit world came from.

Leaning against the fence, she looked up at the forefront of the turbulent "Clover".

Ahead is the end of the spiritual passage.
