Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 29
"Captain, I don't seem to have seen Esther all day today. Is she out?"

Before getting off work, Luo Shan went into Dunn's office and asked this question. She was a little nervous, and she respected and feared Dunn who liked to lecture her.

At the same time, the sky outside was dim, and the setting sun was melting into the sky. It was already past six o'clock in the afternoon.

Dunn, who was rubbing his temples, realized this when he heard Rosanne's words - Esther hadn't appeared all day.

How could he suddenly forget to look at her?
Dunn immediately got up from behind the desk, without answering Roseanne's question: "Go back first, I'll go to Chanis Gate."

Luo Shan saw Dun En's seriousness, so she nodded: "Okay, then I'll go first, see you tomorrow."

"Well, be careful on the road, and don't forget that things are at the front desk." When Dunn was speaking, he also dug out the cookie box from the cabinet. If Esther didn't show up all day, she probably didn't eat all day. Dunn had never left the company without saying hello, and Dunn couldn't help but feel more and more worried.

Luo Shan stuck out her tongue behind Dun En's back, and walked up the stairs quickly to leave the Blackthorn Security Company.

On the other side, after Dunn greeted the guards, and took the cookie box and stepped into Chanis Gate, he could clearly feel that the seal power inside the gate was a little weaker today, which made him feel cold and accelerated. Steps across the corridor towards Esther's bedroom.

Dunn stopped at the door and knocked on the stone door, but there was no response.

If Esther usually heard someone approaching, she would come over and wait to open the door. Sometimes even before Dunn knocked on the door, she opened the door by herself as if she had a sense.

Dunn knocked hard twice, and the stone door engraved with the seal symbol made a dull "bang bang" sound.

"Esther? Are you in there? Esther!"

The stone door was slightly opened, and the candlelight in the aisle illuminated half of Esther's face, her eyes were red and she was still dripping tears.

Dunn's anger rose immediately. It was the first time he saw Esther crying so miserably. Her eyes were already swollen: "What's wrong? What happened!?"

"I didn't—it doesn't matter, in two days...it should be fine when I calm down."

Dunn resisted the urge to open the door and calmed down his emotions: "Esther, what happened? Who hurt you?"

Esther's eyes were calm, in contrast to her stream of tears, which put a rather grotesque look on her face: "No, I'm not upset about my own affairs. I can't tell you what that is, Captain .”

Dunn frowned more and more tightly, and the anxiety in his chest made him want to smoke tobacco for a few hours. He had to report this matter to the Holy Church.

Esther raised her head slightly, and under the rolling tears, she showed a comforting smile: "You are too deeply influenced by me, Captain. You are not my guardian, but Tingen's night watchman." By."

Before Dunn could say anything else, Esther closed the door again. Dunn was silent for more than ten seconds, and finally knocked on the door again: "I left the biscuits at the door, at least you should eat something."

He also left here quickly without waiting for Esther's response. He needed to report the situation to the Holy Church for clearer instructions.Dunn heard that sentence and felt Esther's alienation from him, which made him even more disturbed.

Esther was right, her "affinity" made Dunn lose his composure, but seeing Esther's calm face but tears so red eyes, Dunn couldn't figure it out.

Did something happen last night?Esther out of control?
Although Dunn made the conjecture closest to the truth, he subconsciously ignored his fearful experience last night—he dreamed of a suspect last night, and saw the cross of the "True Creator" in his dream.

-

It was almost noon the next day when Esther came out from behind the Chanis Gate. Her face was so bad that everyone who saw her subconsciously said a few words: "Are you sick? Are you okay?"

Esther rubbed her swollen eyes, her smile was much forced than yesterday, but it was also closer to her real physical condition: "It's okay, it's just a little uncomfortable..."

Leonard touched his chin and put on a serious expression: "You are not broken in love, are you?"

Rosanne gave him an elbow, which caused Leonard to grin his teeth and run away. This gossip-loving lady looked anxiously into Esther's eyes: "Do you want to apply some ointment to reduce swelling? There should be some in Old Neil's place." .”

Esther shook her head: "It's okay, just wait for a night's sleep."

Roseanne clapped her hands: "Yes! There will be a welcome banquet for Klein tonight. The captain has reserved a seat at the Old Ville Restaurant, so remember to come!"

Esther's expression immediately became more energetic: "Ah, is there something delicious? I must go here!"

To be honest, I only ate a box of cookies sent by the captain yesterday, and Esther really didn't feel well. When she heard that there was a big meal tonight, she swallowed her saliva.

At this moment, Leonard led Klein up again, and greeted the two ladies chatting and drinking tea, as if he wasn't the one who got the elbow just now.

"Esther? Why do you look so bad? Someone bullied you?" Klein said while subconsciously glanced at Leonard with his hands in his pockets. The meaning in his eyes was actually to ask what happened yesterday. matter.

Unexpectedly, Leonard immediately raised his hand, and he repeatedly gestured: "Am I so unreliable!? I can't do such a bad thing as bullying the crying lady!"

Klein was silent. He shouldn't have had any hope, so he turned to Esther who was smiling awkwardly: "If you encounter any troublesome things, you can tell me."

Klein gave Esther a "you understand" look, and Esther nodded understandingly and replied, "I will tell you if I encounter something very troublesome. This time it was just a nightmare, and I will forget it in two days." Enough."

Klein showed off the topaz on his wrist: "It's really not possible, I can still help you with divination."

Esther said subconsciously: "Ten pennies a hexagram, no money?"

Klein was stunned for a moment, and then he and Esther smirked at this "golden fortune-telling sentence".Leonard didn't understand, but he also laughed a few times, and stopped embarrassingly under Rosanne's weird eyes.Rosanne's thoughtful eyes circled between Esther and Klein. With the talent of a gossip expert, she sensitively noticed the wonderful tacit understanding between the two.

It didn't take long for Klein to follow Leonard out of the Blackthorn Security Company. Starting this afternoon, he will go to his fighting teacher, Mr. Gao Wen, to receive formal training.Since he wanted to join the Nighthawks team, he had to make corresponding preparations for battles in various situations.

Esther couldn't help but think back to the first time she met Mr. Gawain—she talked back quite decisively, stayed cheeky to participate in the training, and finally successfully completed Gawain's training plan.

That was all two months ago, how time flies.

Seeing that Klein and Leonard had left, Roseanne stared at Esther with a sly smile for a long time, until Esther couldn't bear it and said, "Are there any cookie crumbs on my face? "

"No, no, I think Esther is beautiful. Although the facial features are not gorgeous and deep, they have a very special gentle beauty."

Esther rubbed her arms and looked at Rosanne who was running the train with her mouth full of horror: "What are you talking about? I have goosebumps all over my body!"

"Youth, this is youth, Esther is still young, isn't she?"

"Ms. Roseanne, you are not a few years older than me, please be sober."

Esther didn't know what was going on with Luo Shan. If Luo Shan was a Extraordinary, Esther would worry about whether she suddenly lost control and why she behaved so strangely.

Roseanne pointed in the direction of the reception hall door: "What do you think of Klein?"

"It's very good. He has a gentle and kind personality. He is a soft-hearted person who is very kind to ask him to help with things."

Luo Shan shook her head, looking very funny: "No, no, that's not what I'm talking about, what about other aspects?"

Esther was silent for a few seconds: "Rosanne, did you hear what Leonard said? He always felt that Klein was mysterious, so he always suspected that there was something abnormal about Klein, but who hasn't ordered his own?" What about the secret?"

Roseanne reacted for a moment before realizing that Esther's brain circuit had deviated to a farther direction. She waved her hand angrily: "What I want to say is not—I mean romantic relationship! You and Klein seem to be very close." There is a common language."

Esther thought about it, and used other reasons to cover up the "common language of fellow villagers": "Isn't that because he is the only one who is willing to join in the cold jokes I tell?"

"Is that a bad joke? It doesn't sound like a joke at all."

Esther also began to force nonsense: "Because everyone doesn't understand, it has become a cold joke."

Rosean picked up the teacup and took two sips, then stared at Esther with burning eyes: "You really don't mean that? I can help you find out about Klein's tone, okay?"

Esther's face showed horror again: "I really don't have that idea at all! Please!"

She didn't want to come together tomorrow and find that everyone in the office was smiling at her and Klein, and then the fellow came to the door in a daze and puzzlement, asking herself what Rosanne meant.Just imagining that situation made Esther feel like she was going to die socially.

It was so embarrassing, she would die of embarrassment.

Roseanne was a little disappointed by the answer, but it wasn't a surprise: "Okay, then should I ask Klein's opinion? Maybe he..."

"No! I'm pretty sure he didn't either! Beautiful Rosanne, dear Rosanne, don't worry about it!" Esther rubbed the center of her right eyebrow helplessly, trying to persuade Rosanne to give up the idea of ​​"leading the red thread" , "The two of us are colleagues. Just like you and I, we can chat happily."

Luo Shan was persuaded: "Well, since you are so resistant, I won't get into it."

"Well, why don't you still think about when your own love will come? You must find a caring person in the future."

Rosean put her wrist on the side of her face and asked curiously: "Then don't you want love yourself? Has Esther imagined what kind of person she will fall in love with in the future?"

Esther said weakly: "I think it's good if I'm alive..."

　The first volume of the Ring of Fate, who was beaten by a squid, ended badly.Sister... It's good to be alive...
