Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Esther looked around in a daze, but the black-armored knight who fought just now, Klein with the cane, and the figures in the storage room all disappeared. Only Skylark was left here. Woke up with a shock.

The hall damaged by the wind and waves was like muddy water, becoming chaotic in circles of ripples, but it gradually returned to its original appearance after tens of seconds.

Is it because I have the ability to control dreams, so I am also accepted as a part of this place, as long as I don't want to leave, I won't wake up?
Esther pondered for two seconds, but realized that there was another situation that made her feel uneasy. Everyone else woke up, but she was forced to be trapped here. Only she didn't know how to get out of this dream!

How did Klein and the others wake up before?Waiting for the night to end on its own and the sun to set?Hopefully I'll wake up by then too, otherwise it's uncomfortable being here all the time.

The mural that Klein mentioned was not nearby, which made Lark scratch his paws in frustration. Esther originally wanted to see what the Lark in that painting looked like.

She didn't see anyone else who was supposed to be asleep and shared the dream, so she had to fly to the small storage room where people were hiding before.

The wooden door that fell off before has returned to the door frame, and all the debris that was blown away has also been scattered back to the hill, filling most of the space here.

The corridor extending to the back leads to the dark and silent cell. After briefly surveying the surrounding situation, Esther flew towards the black wooden door in the depths. She remembered that Klein's position was just through the wooden door.

The dream was distorted by the halo around her, the wooden door squirmed twice, and then swayed inward, revealing a gap that was big enough for a skylark to slip through.

After Esther got in, she found a narrower and darker storage room with a huge full-length mirror standing inside. Even if she was alert, she had already appeared within the reflection range of the mirror.

But nothing was reflected in the mirror, only the empty room, only darkness and peace.

The skylark hopped up to the mirror, opened and closed its wings, but there was no ring of gentle light in the mirror, nor did it reflect a single feather.

What is the situation? Is it because of my ability to interfere with dreams, or...

Suddenly, the scene in the mirror changed, and a darkness condensed into shape.

Esther quickly retreated to a more hidden corner, and Skylark shrank behind several stacked wooden boards, watching the figure appearing in the mirror through the gap.

This is a man in a simple linen short robe. The rough wrinkles all over his face make him look very old, but his dark hair is not suitable for his age.

As soon as he appeared in this room, he looked around in horror, trembling and shrunk to the corner, his pure black eyes were filled with panic and pain, as if he was afraid that something would suddenly appear.

Esther waited for dozens of seconds. The man did nothing but crouch in a corner in horror and curl up his body.

Esther suddenly came up with an idea, trying to test the man opposite by intimidation.

-

The outside night never ended, and Leomaster fell into a dream again.

His good personality is forced to face his evil personality again, day and night, he has been trapped in this gloomy black prison for so long that Leomaster has forgotten the date.

The night and day of this sea area cannot be counted, and the time spent sleeping in the dreamland is too much. The confrontation between the two personalities makes everything that Leomaster perceives when he is awake become muddled.

The kind-hearted Leo Master found himself back in the small storage room, everything around him had been restored to its original appearance, and the "adventurer" had disappeared, and the other evil personality was not there, which made him relieved. tone.

It's a pity that no one can come to help him.

For some reason, after re-entering the dreamland, Leo Master felt an inexplicable sense of stability staying here.

He didn't really want to leave, so he could only silently pray that the "Saint of Black" would not think of returning here to find himself, or that the knight in black armor would be thrown farther away...

Then a voice suddenly sounded in the room, mixed with a hum that made Leomaster feel trance:

"Lost in the dark, who are you? Where did you come from?"

The other party spoke in the language of giants. Although it is relatively rare compared to the ancient Hermes language in the mystical language, it is no stranger to Leomaster.

The moment this voice appeared, his originally uncontrollable fear seemed to be cut off directly, and his emotions fell into an overly peaceful state, and he was unconsciously attracted by this gentle and strange female voice.

Of course this is not normal.

But Leomaster's kind personality hasn't felt such peace for too long, so it's hard to be vigilant, and subconsciously answered that question:

"Leo Master, I, I led a pilgrimage team here, wanting to go to the easternmost part of the Sunya Sea to find our sleeping lord and seek my lord's salvation."

Several seconds passed before the female voice rang again: "What are you afraid of?"

Leomaster clenched his arms uncontrollably again, his body trembled for a few seconds before calming down, and then began to swing again. The process of rising and falling in fear kept repeating, making his spirit even more restless.

When he opened his mouth again, Leo Master's voice was much faster:

"That terrible demon! That demon in black armor captured us, and my companions were all dead. I found a chance to escape.

"But he is still here! He must be looking for me everywhere at this time. If he is caught, he will kill me!"

Esther, who was hiding behind the pile of wooden boards and playing tricks, was stunned for a moment, but thinking of the weird environment in this sea area, if she died in this dream, her body might also die in reality...

Then her previous method of trying to get out of the dream by suicide must not be practiced. If it is self-defeating, it is not known what changes will happen to the skylark in the outside world.

Esther thought for two seconds quickly, and spoke again in the arc of light, so that her voice was dyed with that kind of humming: "Who is your master?"

"Our organization believes in the primordial creator, the all-knowing and all-powerful god of the gods..."

Leomaster's voice lowered, and his originally confused eyes gradually became clear.

Esther immediately asked this time: "What is the name of your organization?"

"Aurora Society. May I ask your name?"

When Leomaster said these words, his tone had calmed down, and he stood up slowly from the ground, looking around at the things in the storage room.

Esther noticed the Aurora member's movements in the mirror, and after a moment's hesitation, she decided to show up to show her kindness.At least before figuring out how to wake up from the dream, she needs to know more about the situation with someone she can communicate with.

The skylark surrounded by the light circle flew out from behind the pile of wooden boards, with a gentle light yellow light constantly radiating from its body. It landed on the sundries in the corner and looked down at Leomaster from a high position.

"I may have heard about your deeds, such a light... your incarnation was once inseparable from my lord."

Esther was surprised by Leomaster's words, but not so shocked as to be hostile.

She has always known that "Angel of Destiny" Ouroreus has a skylark trapped in a spot of light, but why is it said to be the Creator?This is certainly not about Ouroreus.

Unless the other party is referring to the real creator, but this person doesn't look so weird and crazy. Does the real creator have the title of "God of Gods"?
Esther recalled the esteemed name she accidentally got from the pollution of "All Black Eyes", and there was no such description as "omnipotent" in it.

Esther also relied on her special ability to appease this way, and under the guise of "Zoya"'s influence, she dared to communicate face-to-face with this Leo Master:
"You can call me Norns."

"Norns..." Leomaster chewed the name twice, shook his head, and looked at Skylark with increasingly frenzied eyes, "Did my lord send you to guide his believers?"

Esther sighed in her heart: Oh, I hope Mister Fool won't get angry because of my deceit, it really makes me feel guilty...

The guilt I feel in my heart is false, and the disrespect towards "The Fool" is true, but this does not prevent Esther from directly pulling the banner of tiger skin and borrowing the identity of the incarnation of "Zoya" Lark to gain the other party's trust:

"However, the road you seek is still far away. How do you get there?"

Leomaster's expression became more and more determined, he even knelt down and prostrated himself on the ground: "Please guide me, if you are willing..."

Esther couldn't help it immediately, she avoided the direction of Leomaster's prostration, and flew to his side: "Success or failure will be determined by fate."

"I understand, and I will accept any fate."

What do you unserstand?Can't I be deceiving you?How can you, a member of the Aurora Society, act like I'm an angel—damn it, "Zoya" is probably really regarded as an angel by the real creator, and Urolius can't even leave the bird.

Perhaps it was because Leo Master's title of "Creator" reminded her of "Dazhberg", Esther's complaints were inexplicably full of irritability.

But she quickly settled her mind and asked about the situation of the black armored knight before:

"What are the abilities of the demons chasing you?"

"He has a great sword that can corrode the flesh and blood of the living and even destroy the soul. The armor composed of 'fallen' forces can absorb a lot of damage. In extreme cases, he will split himself to avoid being affected. He can also control other people's shadows, like As if I were alive, some of my companions were strangled by their own shadows..."

Leomaster stood up from the ground. Although he regained his composure, the sorrow on his brows became more serious.

Skylark turned his head: "How did he appear?"

"It's here, this room," Leomaster pointed to the mirror, and the reflection in the mirror was pointing at himself, "That demon appeared from here, but not in a dream, but in— "

"By the way, I remembered, this is a dream." Leomaster hugged his head again in pain, "Are you real or fake?"

Esther didn't speak, she didn't make a promise from the beginning to the end, but Leomaster fell into a state of despair again, making her shake her head helplessly:
"I can help you stop him here, maybe only this time."
