Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

at dusk.

Because of Aaron's spiritual intuition crazily warning for no reason, Thomas, who had just stepped into the hotel, was dragged out of the hotel by Aaron.Carrying a few heavy boxes, the two set foot on the way back to the "Clover" before it was completely dark.

"Stop telling me about your premonitions and divinations, I'll beat you up one day." Thomas said with a gloomy face. If the box in his hand wasn't filled with gold coins, he would be happy to give Aaron the back of his head one time.

Aaron laughed very disdainfully at this: "Ha! You are telling the 'craftsman' never to touch the magical item again."

"I will pass on your words to Mr. Alexander, Aaron." Thomas sneered.

"I'm telling the truth. For me, it's best to act according to my heart. Only by following the current situation can luck naturally develop to the situation that suits me best."

"Tsk."

As it was getting dark, Aaron put the suitcase in his right hand under his arm, took out his pocket watch from his pocket and looked at the time: "It's not too late for us to get back on the boat..."

Suddenly, an inexplicable chill froze Aaron's body, and he subconsciously looked back in the direction of Behrens' central block.

Thomas noticed Aaron's footsteps paused for a moment: "What's wrong?"

"I don't know. I always feel that Behrens is quite uneasy today. We will leave directly when those who disembark come back tomorrow morning."

Aaron quickened his pace, and Thomas had to hurry to keep up.

Going around into the cave where the "Clover" was located, the two quickly walked to the side of the ship.They didn't need to call the sailors to lower the rope ladder, and Thomas took a handful of the silver powder from his bosom, sprinkled some on Aaron, and then sprinkled the rest on himself.

Soon, the two of them flew into the air lightly, flew slowly towards the direction of the "Clover", and landed smoothly on the cleaned deck.

"If it wasn't for worrying about the existence of the 'Hidden Sage', maybe I would have chosen the 'Secret Peer' at the beginning. I hesitated for a long time." Aaron walked ahead with a smile. Si, including the part that will be distributed to the sailors on this ship, has to be put in the warehouse for safekeeping.

Thomas shook his head solemnly: "So you are really very lucky...Damn it, you really should take the 'monster' route. On average, I have to endure that kind of forced knowledge twice a week, and some people are more frequent than It's still high, and we don't know how to bear it all these years."

"Maybe you also have some kind of good luck, and you are connected to this ship. The princess can always help us save good luck until the critical moment." Aaron said jokingly.

Thomas twitched the corners of his mouth: "Is letting that Hamel board the ship also part of your good luck?"

What Thomas didn't expect was that Aaron said very calmly and even proudly: "Of course! To be honest, this may be the luckiest thing in my life!"

If Esther were to describe it, she would be able to find a word like "brainless fan", which is quite appropriate, but cannot exist in this world.

Thomas couldn't think of it. He could only say with a straight face and indifference: "You are really hopeless."

"You're not my way, you won't understand." Aaron said shaking his head, and this overly complacent attitude made Thomas even more angry.

After putting away the boxes containing the rewards, Thomas resolutely went back to his cabin to rest, completely ignoring Aaron's invitation for a drink.

Aaron returned to the captain's cabin, flipped through the account book happily, and after comparing the funds entered into the account, he happily picked out a bottle of Chardonnay from his private collection with a smile.

Just as Aaron was humming the boat song and pouring wine into the goblet, the "Clover" suddenly trembled.Aaron quickly raised the bottle, but under such a sudden situation, his reaction was still half a beat slower.

A large piece of red wine was spilled, and Aaron felt his heart go cold.

"I have to clean up again...but the princess reacted so strongly, maybe it was Hamel and Mary. It's so late now, why don't they find a hotel to stay overnight?"

After cleaning the tabletop by himself, Aaron came to the deck very disturbed.

Thomas had come much earlier than he had, not out of premonition but out of vigilance, for he happened to meet the sailors on the night watch and knew about the two ladies shouting from below.

At this moment, Thomas was staring at Mary and the two climbing up the rope ladder to the boat, and asked Aaron the question first: "You guys came back so late?"

Mary easily turned over the ship's side and stood firm on the deck: "There was an accident, I don't know why I was watched."

Esther also jumped up, and smiled embarrassedly: "I feel that I have attracted strange forces. There are inexplicable blood servants, and people who are suspected members of the Spiritual Sect."

"Are you a disaster star?" Aaron commented with a smile, because his cuffs were stained a little, and he still had a faint smell of wine on his body, "West Balam is so big, it is quite rare for you to be so unlucky, That's probably the price of good luck."

Mary shook her head: "But we'd better leave quickly. Those two blood servants have gone crazy, and the people from the Spiritual Cult have controlled the nearby spirits, which will leave a lot of problems."

Thomas nodded expressionlessly: "The situation in Behrens Port will definitely be very tense these days, and that's exactly what we plan to do. We will set off immediately when the rest of the people return to the ship tomorrow."

Mary walked towards the stairs leading to the cabin with a regretful face: "I knew I would buy two bottles of wine and take them with me. Let's go back and rest. Hamel?"

Esther pointed to Aaron: "I have something to talk to Mr. Captain."

Aaron turned his gaze: "I won't buy you a drink."

"It's business!"

-

Aaron sat back behind the desk, picked up his unfinished Charjoon, and refilled a glass.

When Esther walked into the captain's cabin, she smelled the excessive aroma of wine in the air: "Do people in Intis like to drink so much?"

"It's like the people of Loen drink tea."

Esther couldn't help smiling and shaking her head, it's really a stereotyped impression, although she was right.

Aaron also laughed: "If you are a Loen gentleman who has no sense of humor, I would never dare to say that. When you are at sea, fresh water is prone to spoilage and insects, and the reason why alcohol is better preserved, you should heard about it."

"Even if Mr. Alexander set up an apparatus to purify the water, there would be a strange smell," Esther added.

"Just get used to it. We're going back to Intis in the next period of time. If we don't go through the passage of the spirit world, the voyage will not be short." Aaron took a sip of wine enjoying, "What business did you want to tell me earlier?"

"Can you write to the 'Queen of Mysteries' for me to ask something?"

Aaron shrugged and signaled Esther to pull up the chair and sit down with body language: "Yes, yes, but you have to tell me what happened on the island today."

Esther told all the people she and Mary met in Port Behrens, took off her gloves, and gave Aaron a glance at the feathers on her hands that could not be completely restrained.

"Blood servants, vampires, I'm not sure about these people. I just heard that a small number of believers in the original moon are active in the southern continent. Others are probably from the Spiritual Sect. After all, the source of the bone sword in your hand is also related to 'Reaper' beliefs."

Esther rubbed the back of her hand: "I just don't understand why they're going after us so soon."

Aaron thought about it for two seconds: "If it's just this matter, I can help you answer it. I don't know if you have heard of the 'Law of Convergence of Extraordinary Characteristics'?"

"How to say?"

"High-sequence items in the same pathway will unconsciously attract mid- and low-sequence items, and adjacent pathways will also be attracted in this way."

Esther nodded: "For the 'pale nail' on my body, it fits the aggregation situation, but I don't know why it attracts vampires—"

Her words paused, and she quickly recalled that she had seen the cult believer controlled by the puppet, and heard the words "I saw you" when the puppet dissipated.

"You seem to remember something?" Aaron saw Esther's hesitation.

"Yes, I probably have a guess."

The power hidden in the crimson moon above her head is completely different from the goddess of the night, and the one who is following her is the other party?Including "Mr. Men" who communicated during the full moon that day, he was also surrounded by the red moon...

Esther rubbed the center of her right eyebrow: "Aaron, when you return to Intis, you are going to explore the ruins, right?"

"Yes, it looks like you've made up your mind."

Esther's eyes were particularly determined: "Please tell your teacher, I agree to go with you."

Aaron smiled and raised his glass to Esther: "I will, I am always at ease when you are here."

"Don't be so happy, I have conditions."

Aaron's smile deepened: "You need the extraordinary characteristics of a 'parasite', not just a clue, right?"

Esther opened her eyes wide, and quickly connected the key people in this matter: "Has your teacher told you before?"

"After all, in this matter, the clues are not equal to the help you may provide us. The teacher has long considered that you may raise the reward. She told me that if this expedition can have a harvest of similar price, I can deliver that magical item directly to you through me."

"Is it a magical item?" Esther thought for a while, but still agreed to such a reasonable transaction, "If this expedition does not satisfy you, is she willing to transfer that item?"

"Yes, yes, but she will entrust you with other entrustments later."

Esther was silent for a moment, then sighed helplessly: "Well, I have nothing to say, your teacher's decision is actually very fair."

Aaron drank the last bit of rose-colored wine in the goblet: "We don't need to set a trap in this regard, everything takes safety first, and this is the same for you. My teacher is also good at divination, this is Our best choice."

Esther thought about the "Card of Blasphemy" and guessed that the divination of "Queen of Mysteries" also had a very high personality, which was enough for Aaron to gain great confidence from this teacher.

Esther turned around and walked towards the door of the captain's cabin: "Only one of my friends who is proficient in divination told me that divination is not a panacea."

Aaron smiled and didn't speak, but he was a little bit guilty: "Seer"?Did Hamel know anyone from the occult order?There are more and more doubts about her...
