Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 279 The Son of the Eloper

Chantal followed Esther and walked into the next room. Esther didn't lock the door, so she just opened the door and went in.

It even seemed a little cramped when there were three people in the room. The single rooms in this hotel were not much larger than the third-class cabins of passenger ships, and they were deliberately designed like this to save space.

Esther pulled everything on the table to the side, took the lead in sitting on it, and motioned for Chantal to sit on the other side of the room.

Although Chantal sat down obediently, but because of his height and long legs, he couldn't fold his legs like Esther.

"You can put your feet on the edge of the bed, I don't mind." Esther said in Intis.

Chantal glanced at the bald man lying on the bed, breathing weakly, and subconsciously asked in Intis: "Is he still alive?"

"Alive, but from the point of view of ordinary people, it is no different from death," Esther rubbed the center of her right eyebrow in distress, "He has been parasitized by me for a long time, and he no longer has much active self-awareness. The current state Almost like a puppet."

Chantal silently recited the word "parasitism" twice, which seemed to be different from the evil spirit possession he imagined:
"if you……"

"Yes, if I want to control you, you will become like this." Esther said with a smile, "I can also choose to let your free will go, but that is not good for me. It is like driving a steam train." Generally speaking, the driver doesn’t mess up the train, does he?”

Chantal was quiet for two seconds and decided to return the topic to a safe area: "What do you want to know? I don't have any impression of you."

Esther's eyes dimmed a bit: "Yeah, Mary probably doesn't have much of an impression on me now... Tell me about you, and I will judge the truth myself."

Then the "sun" charm was still dancing between her fingers, Chantal looked at the charm, and spoke softly:

"I didn't have to lie to you. It was my own fault for recklessly ignoring the dangers of tonight's operation. I don't know what you want to hear."

Esther pointed to Chantal's neckline: "Your family?"

The "thief" has some intuition about valuables, especially magical items that incorporate Extraordinary characteristics, so it's hard for Esther not to be attracted.

Chantal's expression was tense for a moment, then relaxed again:
"I'm not from Nath, that's obvious, my parents are from Intis. I don't remember my mother very well, she died when I was very young. My father said I inherited her Eyes, but hair color is like my father's.

"I just heard my father say how wonderful she was, how beautiful, gentle and powerful she was, haha, it's really disgusting to say that."

But when he said this, his expression was full of nostalgia, and behind the nostalgia there was even a hint of hatred and grief:

"My deepest impression of my mother may be her embrace. She has blond hair like a wheat field. I will curl up in her arms and hold her long hair tightly. My father will hug us tightly and hum softly to make me quiet. The songs coming down, the carriage swaying...

"I found out later that we were running for our lives during that time.

"My father is the 'Purifier' of the Tribunal of the 'Eternal Blazing Sun' church. He is young, talented, devout and ambitious, and he is only short of being promoted to the sixth rank. He once wrote in his notes: 'Even though I still want to praise The sun, I don’t want to be ashamed of my brothers and sisters, but I have already lost the qualification to sing the praises of the sun’.”

Esther no longer played with the charm, but let it lie quietly on her palm: "So this is your father's relic?"

Chantal's breath stagnates: "You..."

Then the "sun" charm was thrown by the opponent, and he quickly reacted, caught it and held it in his hand, feeling the calming warmth.

"I can feel your emotions, please continue, I shouldn't interrupt you." Although Esther frowned slightly, her demeanor and tone were very gentle, which seemed more lively than the previous indifferent attitude.

Chantal cleared her throat:

"Well, I don't have a deep impression of what happened at that time. I guessed it all from my father's notes. My mother was originally an informant of his development. He once thought she was a wild Extraordinary who was involved in the incident. .

"The fragile, gentle and beautiful lady will naturally receive his attention and protection, and it was during this process that my father and my mother fell in love.

"But my father didn't know at that time that my mother... she, used to be him."

This time, Esther's eyes gradually relaxed. She looked at Chantal without hesitation, and then quickly turned her head away, digesting this too weird news.

Chantal rubbed his face and calmed down before continuing:

"My mother's serial name is 'Witch', which means that no matter what gender the person who drinks the potion is, they will become female. And my father... only found out about this after my mother became pregnant."

Esther has always had a distaste for the existence of the "witch", but it was based on the various evil deeds she had been exposed to. She never knew that there were such weird things in this path.

She nodded: "Of course your mother will hide this, but from my point of view, her purpose of approaching your father is not pure." Chantal sighed:
"My father thought she was innocent, but in fact she was the perpetrator. Behind the 'witch' is the witch sect. But it was an accident that my mother was developed into an informant by my father... She originally thought she was If you catch it, you will die.

"Then they had me, my dad took on the role of 'father' and started doing everything he could to hide my mother's tracks, cover my existence and take care of us.

"At first my mother was able to hide me with her, but as I grew up, they made up their mind to leave Trier and head to remote villages in the south. They could set me free if they could find a place where no one knew them. The earth grows in the sun.

"That way, they can live a peaceful life and just be an ordinary couple instead of extraordinary people who betrayed the organization.

"But that's just their overly optimistic wish."

Chantal tightened the holy emblem of the sun in his hand, and his dark brown eyes were even more gloomy:
"The Witch Sect uses not only potion formulas and materials to control the Extraordinary, but also blood and hair, which is a curse that cannot be avoided no matter where you flee.

"Only three days after my parents took me out of Trier, my mother's condition deteriorated, and her body weakened rapidly. In just a few days, my mother became seriously ill, mentally weak and in a trance, and she was always in a trance. at risk of losing control.

"But back then she couldn't even eat and drink, let alone give up her own life... so she begged my father to kill her.

"She didn't want to get out of control, let alone turn into a monster and show my dad and me the ugly side of her."

Esther's fingers were lightly drawing circles in her palm, just in front of the role of a listener, and seeing Chantal's mouth tightly shut with a gloomy face, she pushed tentatively:
"Your father also recorded this incident in his notes?"

"Well, me too, I only found out when I read his notes."

Chantal raised his hand, put down the neckline that was pulled up to his chin to cover his Adam's apple, and took out a pair of rings that were strung together. The golden one was quite normal, and the black ring gave off an ominous atmosphere no matter how you looked at it:

"When my mother died, my father buried her on top of a hill overlooking a wheat field because she said she liked the gold of the sun on the wheat fields and reminded her of leaning on my father's shoulder and listening to him sing.

"This ring became the only relic my father took away. It was originally silver, but it seemed to have absorbed my mother's extraordinary characteristics. My father wrote in his notes that it was the last thing she could leave him. Think about it.

"This golden ring, of course, belongs to my father. They can't go into the church, and they can't let the holy sunlight witness their love. They can only secretly promise each other their sincerity in this way like a street mouse."

Esther glanced briefly at the ring hanging around Chantal's neck: "It seems to have words engraved on it."

"The black one is 'My Sunshine' and the golden one is 'My Redemption'. I would say that these two people are so overwhelmed by love that they are stupid enough to go together and become a terrible couple." parents."

Esther twitched the corners of her mouth, she could hear the genuine grief in Chantal's words, so she couldn't expose the child's longing for his parents, which was far greater than resentment.

But she did know why Chantal became like this, she looks like a woman even though she is a man——The extraordinary characteristics of the "witch" combined with the ring became a magical item, but the negative effect of this thing is that it partially changes the carrying body shape of the person.

"Then your father fled overseas?"

Chantal nodded:

"The target he and my mother planned is Bayam, which is more dangerous than going to the southern continent. But the Church of Storms is stationed in the Rorsted Islands, and they are enemies with the Church of the Eternal Sun, which is a good hiding place for my father. land.

"We drifted on the sea for a while. I have a part of the impression that every day I open my eyes and see the sea, life is quite boring. My father began to teach me to read at that time, in addition to the basic Loen language, there is also the ancient Hermes language and Feysac.

"He wasn't a bad teacher, but we had limited time. I had to say the right words to get a response from him. Being a child dependent on his father and fearful of the outside world, I was a quick learner. .”

"Your father..." Esther paused, "Didn't he teach you about the negative effects of magical items?"

Chantal shook his head, caressing the two rings with great care:
"My father only left his notes and his contacts. I learned about the extraordinary world and his past from them. A follower of the eternal blazing sun ran into the territory of the Church of Storms, not to mention He is also extraordinary.

"He hooked up with the pirates in Bayam, found the underground Extraordinary market, sneaked into it to do some work for them, sold finished spells or accepted employment from others.

"Because of the special ability of the way, the sun holy water and charms he made are very popular among pirates. We lived a relatively peaceful life, traveling between Bayam and Nass, and I found some odd jobs at the dock to help others. He wandered among those dangerous elements, leading me to teach in various aspects.

"This kind of life is not bad. We saved part of our savings and went fishing together in our spare time. I learned to sing from him and listened to his stories about the past in Trier, especially the episode of falling in love with my mother. He Can repeat for a whole day.

"Until my father was betrayed, and during the investigation of the Punisher, he completely exposed his identity as a heretic."

Chantal's smile looked more like a crying face:
"How can someone be so stupid that he is surrounded by others and still praise the sun loudly?"
