Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

What puzzled Esther was that when she stepped into the room, she was reflected in the mirror, but the skylark was not reflected in it.

Hearing Leomaster mention the "shadow", she thought of looking at her feet.

The result was not as she expected, although there was a halo around her, but she had no shadow, and there was nothing under Skylark's claws.

"Leo Master, calm down." Esther said, and even released two more rings to hang around her, allowing more light to fall on Leo Master.

The buzzing sound continued, and the fear in Leo Master's eyes was dispelled, and he looked at the skylark in a trance and frantically: "What should I do?"

Esther was worried about bringing him by her side. Leomaster's spirit seemed to be on the verge of collapse. She didn't want to stimulate him too much, and she was worried that distorting the dream by his side would cause Leomaster Waking up from a dream.

"I will investigate the situation of the black knight. If you are afraid, then protect yourself."

Leomaster bowed his head deeply, without saying a word, he pushed open a small crack in the door for Skylark.

After Esther flew out, Leomaster closed the wooden door tightly again.

Esther circled around the hall, and she quickly caught the sound of footsteps in the depths of the cell, as well as the sound of hard objects colliding with the cell door.

The "demon" that Leomaster was afraid of was still looking for him everywhere. Esther was not sure if it was her good luck that was online again, which made him stay in the cell area for a while and did not run again. Go to the storage room here.

This Esther and Leo Master left time for initial communication, which laid a healthy foundation for subsequent communication.

If Esther can provide some kind of help in this matter, then Esther's request to take her away later will seem logical.

The skylark flapped its wings and flew in the direction of the sound.

But within a few seconds, the scene around Esther suddenly became turbulent, and the ripple-like lines continued to spread, until a vortex of light bloomed from her body, and the phantom of the black door emerged, swallowing the skylark completely——

Leomaster's dream awoke.

-

Klein opened his eyes from the dream.

The warm sunlight fell on the cabin through the closed windows, and there was no change in the room.

While reviewing the previous two dreams and guessing where Leo Master was, he got up from the bed and straightened his clothes.

Then Klein looked in the direction of the desk suspiciously.

The room was so quiet that Esther didn't ask about that dream?When was her curiosity caged?
Klein shook his head with a smile in his heart, then walked to the table and tapped twice with his knuckles: "It's time to get up."

Skylark remained silent.

Klein tried to poke the exposed feathers twice, but there was no response. His spiritual intuition had no warning. Yes, Esther, who had been sleeping all this time, did not pose any danger, but her situation made Klein feel Something is wrong.

He took out the coin, said "Esther is still in the dream world" seven times, and flicked it into the air.

The tossed coin spun around, forming a circle that constantly subverted itself. Klein's line of sight followed it up and down, but he didn't get any direct picture inspiration.

The coin landed in his hand, giving heads, and the answer was a simple "yes."

Esther is trapped in a dream...

Klein felt uneasy, so he reset the lark, which seemed to be peacefully immersed in sleep, in the cage and locked it. Then he walked out of the room quickly. He was going to ask Cattleya if it was dangerous to fall asleep at noon. .

But just a few steps out of the door, Klein ran into the familiar "Strongest Hunter": "Hey, Gehrman, where did you go in your dream? I didn't even see you."

"Why should I be seen by you?" Klein's rhetorical question like this is not friendly, but his current mood fits well with Gehrman's personality, and he really can't be friendly.

Hearing Anderson say that "when leaving the dreamland" was in the same position as "when entering again", Klein frowned again, but he didn't show it, he just brushed off the topic indifferently.

Then, Anderson mentioned that he heard the sound of doors opening and footsteps in the depths, but no one came out. Klein was thinking about it quickly, and quickly remembered that he had peeped into his sight before.

Klein didn't talk to Anderson for too long, but went to the captain's cabin.

The answer he got from "Admiral of the Stars" made Klein heave a sigh of relief. He could sleep at noon, and then he asked again, "What would happen if you kept sleeping in a dream?"

Cattleya was stunned for a moment: "To be honest, I don't know... is it that skylark? I also don't know whether the dreams of animals are different from those of humans, maybe it will be more affected by this sea area. "

Klein nodded, but didn't say anything, but seeing his indifferent attitude, Cattleya could basically confirm her guess just now.

"If it has been sleeping, it is difficult to guarantee what will happen. As a bird, even an extraordinary creature does not necessarily have much self-control, and a person will be confused because of long-term dreaming, and it may be in the dream. Fly too far."

Klein gave a deep "hmm" before walking out of the captain's room.

Seeing him leave, Cattleya sighed softly.

I hope that Gehrman Sparrow will not stay too long because he is worried about the condition of the bird. This sea area is too dangerous, and the "Future" must leave as soon as possible after finding the mermaid.

If the lark hasn't woken up by then, Cattleya has nothing to do.

-

After Leomaster woke up, Esther was drawn into another dream.

The skylark spread its wings in time and avoided the free-falling body that fell into the mud. Esther did not fly too high, but quickly landed on top of the scarecrow without a face after simply sweeping the surrounding environment.

At first glance, this dream seems to be very peaceful, at least out of the dark and cramped prison, and there are no black armored knights chasing people everywhere.

The orange-yellow wheat field is densely packed, and the wheat stalks are bent down by the heavy deformed huge ears, which seem to be broken at any time, and it seems that a bumper harvest is about to be ushered in.

The golden expanse is endless, but there are no ridges or paths opened for people to walk as far as the eye can see. There are no buildings nearby, only a few pimple-like hills in the distance, with black thin strips sparsely inserted on them.

The blue-purple sky is full of tiny water drop-shaped clouds, which is very strange.

There was a twisted vortex in the sky, and when Esther looked up, it was just a moving line.But as soon as she looked away, she could feel countless eyes opening in the vortex above her head.

The eyeballs were spinning wildly in the vortex, and the liquid condensed and fell from the surface of the eyeballs, but after falling, it directly turned into clouds and stagnated in the sky.

Esther restrained the halo around her, the space here is bright enough, she doesn't need to be distracted all the time to maintain
Skylark sat on the scarecrow's shoulders and looked down at the wheat field below.

Esther always felt that those overly large ears of wheat looked like tumors, their uneven skin seemed to burst open at any time, and barbed beards grew outside each grain, standing up unevenly and in disorder.

Maybe I shouldn't be a lark, I should be a crow... Unfortunately, I hate crows.

Esther thought so, shaking her wings twice.She saw a house at the foot of the mountain emitting smoke, and began to consider whether to fly there to have a look.

At this moment, the faceless scarecrow under Skylark's feet suddenly moved, and the sutures on its neck continued to snap until it could turn its head completely.

The head made of straw turned [-] degrees forcibly, and the thin rods on the face suddenly started to squirm, and two buttons the size of fists were squeezed out from inside, with several bloody muscles attached to them, and the buttons were strung together on the scarecrow. head deep.

Skylark didn't move, just stared at it straight.

The scarecrow didn't move either, but Esther noticed that the thread on his neck that had just been torn was being pulled back up little by little, and the head was re-sewed tightly.

Esther really wanted to ask it: What are you looking at?
But before asking this question, Skylark tentatively stretched out his right paw, and made a simple grasping motion towards the scarecrow's neck.

Curiosity, combined with a certain affected mischievousness, had prompted Esther to act in this way.

The next moment, Esther had already flapped her wings with all her strength to fly upwards.

Lark's claws held a large ball of twine tightly. At the end of the twine were blood-stained wheat awns, and some of the ends were still hung with small pieces of skin or flesh and blood. Red blood beads kept oozing from it, dripping down. To the golden fields.

As the silk threads were all stolen by Esther, the scarecrow's neck began to shake uncontrollably, as if it was trying to raise its head and use its button eyes to follow the figure of the vile skylark.

But this action is not suitable for the scarecrow's neck without sutures. When its head is lifted up, it falls back completely, revealing the living creature hidden inside-or, it is the owner of this dream.

Esther looked down at the scene below, and she struggled to catch a glimpse of a face that barely retained a human face from the inside of the wart-like ears of wheat.

But it is limited to a face that is difficult to distinguish between genders. The eyes, nostrils and mouth of that person are filled with rice ears, and the tips of the wheat awns are constantly picking up the blood on the skin, and wrigglingly use the straw to seal the gaps. mend.

The poor man's flesh and blood became nourishment, and he was forced to use his body to nourish the endless harvest, and the wheat full of vitality, in turn, re-infused vitality into the living person's body, making him or her unable to die at all.

Although this is just a dream, it is also another portrayal of reality.

I am afraid that the situation of the owner of the dream will not be much better. He is trapped in a predicament where even death has become a luxury, and is constantly eroded by the distorted power of the outside world.

This person may have gone crazy a long time ago, and even his consciousness has become numb, just dreaming of a harvest surrounded by wheat ears.

Esther had to let go of her claws, because the awns were writhing upward, trying to penetrate Skylark as well, making her part of the manure.

She looked down again, but there was nothing she could do except for a little bit of pity. Those ears of wheat would not even allow the dreaming life to die. Wake up from the backlash of the wheat field.

The reality will not change.

The skylark let out a soft cry, and the dream suddenly began to tremble, and ripples swayed from Esther's body round after round.

She used the ability to control the dream to temporarily affect the stability here. Since the owner of the dream had already had a mental breakdown, Esther could easily do this.

Then the skylark raised its claws again to grab it, stole the distance between itself and another dream, circled the phantom of the black door that pierced through the ripples, and flew to other places.
