Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 232 The Messenger of the Contract

After writing the content to be handed over, Esther did not immediately summon Klein's four-headed messenger lady, but began to write the ancient Hermetic contract required to conclude the messenger, and then changed the ceremony just arranged.

She wanted to contract her own messenger so that Klein could not find her.

The content of the contract is nothing more than keeping the letter well and not harming the contractor or the recipient. These are relatively broad regulations.

This time Esther did not use other spiritual materials, but used her own blood instead of essential oils as a primer, dripping into the candle flame.

The light of the candle flame instantly became bright and clear, turning into the same light yellow hair color as Esther.

She recited in ancient Hermes in the order that Thomas and the others taught before:
"I! I call in my name:
Spirits that roam the world above,
friendly creatures to drive,
An existence willing to make a contract with me. "

The candle flame swelled and expanded, like a constantly shaking light curtain, revealing a touch of grayness in the depths.

Soon, a four-legged animal with a body shape similar to that of a canine wolf stepped out of it. It was covered with short black hair, two dark red flames were burning in its eye sockets, and the base of its mouth almost extended to the back of its head.

Its body is surrounded by a very faint burning mist, as if distorting its existence, making its body extraordinarily illusory.

Esther resisted the urge to back away, the creature didn't look "friendly" at all.

There is not much problem with her spell civilization, why did she summon this rather evil-looking canine animal?
Just as Esther froze in place, the mist around the black dog rolled twice, and another smaller puppy squeezed out of it.

Different from the silent and intimidating "wolf dog", this puppy has not yet grown out, and its limbs are short and small, about the size of a poodle, but the flames burning in its eye sockets are also weird and creepy .

The even bigger "wolf dog" bent down and arched the back of the black puppy twice with its nose, as if urging it.

The puppy took two steps forward, sat obediently on the ground, and swung its tail from side to side.

Esther had to resist the urge to touch its head this time. She glanced at the "wolfdog" who hadn't stepped forward again, and looked down at the expectant puppy.

Does this count as child labor...

Esther squatted down and narrowed the distance between herself and this spirit creature: "So, are you willing to sign a contract with me and become my messenger?"

The puppy nodded slightly, its tail flicked happily after a few seconds of pause.After a few more glances, it seems that it is far less scary than when I first saw it. Of course, it is its elders who are more frightening.

Thinking of this, Esther raised her head and looked in the direction of the "wolf dog". The other party didn't make any moves, but just paid close attention to the situation here.

"Then let me read the content of this contract. Do you have any opinions?"

The huge and evil black "wolf dog" barked low, which showed that it could understand Esther's meaning and had enough wisdom to communicate.

Esther was a little puzzled. She could feel the half-real and half-empty nature of the two "wolf dogs", one big and one small, and they all had quite powerful power, including the cute puppy.

Such a strange spirit creature would casually agree to be his messenger?It feels a bit overkill.But Esther didn't know the creature in front of her, so she didn't have a clearer understanding.

After reading the previously written contract to the two "wolf dogs", Esther first looked at the puppy, and saw that it nodded vigorously on purpose, looking quite proud and reserved.

Then Esther turned to the big dog, which didn't respond indifferently, it was acquiescing to these terms, and it seemed that there were no other problems.

In the end, Esther did not use the description of the "spiritual world" or the gods she believed in to bind the contract according to Aaron's teaching, but used the honorable name of "Zoya".

Then she cut her finger and drew a line of blood on it, making the whole parchment bright for a moment, the halo spread and then closed, the blood was completely absorbed, and the four honorable names of "Zoya" changed into Silver gray.

She just signed her name: "Esther".

Spreading the parchment in front of the puppy, Esther watched as it raised its paw and pressed it against the paper. A little burnt smell came out from under the puppy's paw. When it moved the paw away, there was a A circle of charred and corroded paw prints.

Esther and the two spirit creatures were staring at the parchment, it quickly disintegrated into a spot of light, and then condensed into two bands of light, which floated into the foreheads of Esther and the puppy respectively .

On the puppy's forehead was a tuft of yellowish, light-colored hair, like a vertical pupil.

Just when it happily took two steps forward and wanted to pounce on Esther, the large adult dog let out a low bark.

The puppy stopped in place unwillingly, just wagging its tail vigorously at Esther, as if it couldn't wait.

Esther picked up the letter written on the side, hurriedly added the name of the summoned messenger on the back, and wrapped it with another piece of paper: "Please give this letter to Clay——Gehrman Spa Luo, can you find him?"

The little dog nodded, grabbed the letter, and followed his elder into the crack of the spirit world again, and got back into the vast mist.

"What a strange creature," Esther muttered, "at least it doesn't cost money, and it's cute after a long time."

A spirit that travels in the upper world, a friendly creature that can be driven, and a messenger that belongs exclusively to Esther.

At first, Esther thought it would be a bird spirit creature, after all, "Zoya" had a special connection with the lark in mysticism.But in the end, it was a puppy of unknown species who came down to interview the messenger under the "parental supervision", which made her feel very funny.

At least it is much friendlier than the "wolf dog" of the elders. If that strange black dog really came to apply for the job, Esther really wouldn't dare to sign the contract.

I don't know what that puppy likes to eat. I should prepare some rewards for it next time.

Esther stood up and started tidying up the ceremony site. After putting away a few candles, she backhandedly spread the layer of dust she had stolen on the ground again.

Anything stolen by the "parasite" can be stored for a short time, and the duration is the same as the stolen Extraordinary ability. For Esther, the upper limit of this time is two hours.But where they were stored, Esther couldn't tell.

If it wasn't for the time limit, she would have stuffed her backpack into that unknown space, and she wouldn't even have to carry it with her.

The dust fell back into the dark basement, and after the candlelight disappeared, the place immediately became gloomy.

Esther turned to leave, and just as she was walking up the stairs, there was a knocking sound on a wall somewhere.

"Crack, snap."

It was a regular but not forceful slapping sound, as if beating the beat lightly.

Esther hesitated for a second, then turned and headed back to the basement.She stretched out her hand to grab at random, and once again stole the dust in the room, including those on the wall, so that the scorched wall here was fully displayed in front of her eyes.

With a flick of Esther's right hand, the "Pale Bone Nail" fell directly into her palm. Facing undead creatures or evil spirits, this bone sword has a much greater advantage than the hairless "Logan's Claw".

After absorbing the extraordinary characteristics of "Parasite", Esther's control over the bone sword has increased a lot, but the half-face mask can't be integrated back at all.However, Esther frequently parasitizes birds, so she no longer needs something to hide her appearance.

She walked slowly against the walls of the basement, walked around quietly, stared carefully at several walls, and finally sensed something special in a corner.

Just looking at it with the eyes, there is only the burnt black residue here, but Esther can "see" there is a wriggling blood handprint in a special state of perception.

Even now, a bright red trace in her perception is slowly wriggling, trying to spread out and occupy a wider wall.

Esther also guessed, maybe it was her act of holding a ceremony, communicating with the spirit world, and summoning spirit world creatures just now, which caused the remaining extraordinary power here to have a stress response.

Esther stabbed out with a sword decisively, and poked it on the wall, and there were bursts of hissing from under the scorched mark.

"Are there really evil spirits? Hello."

Esther said so, but she complained in her heart that the official Extraordinary of the "Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun" is not competent, and they actually left a spirit that slipped through the net. If it were the Nighthawks, this would definitely not happen.

The red blood handprint in Esther's perception gradually melted under the "pale bone nail".

The slapping sound resounded again, more like hitting the wall hard, and the frequency was much faster: "Bang bang! Bang bang!"

Esther didn't do anything, but pressed the bone sword against the wall even harder. The tip almost pierced into the charred wall. A faint dark brown liquid oozed from the edge of the breach, as if it had been poured into the wall. The mud inside is sticky and rancid.

Esther whistled, and a few light spots flew down from her bangs, along the blade of the "Pale Nail", and quickly spread to the stabbed evil force.

A faint halo of light bloomed from the wall, circling in circles, spreading across the entire wall in an instant.

Esther's bad premonition popped up in an instant. She cursed in her heart, turned her head, and kept opening and closing her left hand. She quickly stole the distance and sent herself to the stairs. It only took a few seconds to send herself out. This "haunted house".

Esther sprinted behind the stones at the edge of the flowerbed.

"Boom—"

A loud bang sounded behind her, and at the same time, the remaining wreckage of the house was thrown away. The flying pieces of wood and masonry were like a hailstorm, hitting everywhere one after another.

Because she used "stealing" to steal the space distance and shift the position one after another, the rapid change of sight made her feel uncomfortable, and Esther's face turned slightly pale because of this.

But when the dust and smoke settled, Esther stretched her head to look at the ruins over there, and couldn't help but smile wryly.

She rushed to the seagull that landed at her feet and shook her head: "I can't wait any longer. Maybe people from the church will come to check on such a big movement. It seems that we have to change to a new foothold."

Esther stole her backpack, gathered into a condensed skylark, got into the body of the seagull, and flew to another nearby seaside city.
