Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

"Relic No. 1."

The soul of Qonas Kilgor was suspended in mid-air, answering Arianna's question with a blank expression.

Within the "secret" range, Klein even spent a "Parasite" charm. As the opponent was negatively affected by the extraordinary item, he finally held back the demigod and successfully transformed him into a marionette.

Although Kilger answered the specific location of the ruins, he was only responsible for sending the collected population and materials underground, and was not a core member of the plan. He did not even know what the ruins that once belonged to the "Blood Emperor" were. What is it used for?

According to Kilger's knowledge, the only people who can penetrate the ruins are His Majesty the King, Prince Grove and Duchess Georgina of the royal family.

Why did the royal family do such a thing without telling the church of the Three Gods?
Although Klein was paying attention to Ms. Arianna, he could not see any obvious change in expression on her face, and in the end he could only put his doubts in his heart.

After the interrogation, Ms. Arianna stuffed her soul back into her body, and Klein regained control of the marionette.

Ms. Arianna plans to meet with the Archbishop of the Church of Storms and the Church of Steam, and immediately take action tonight to explore the ruins. She will ask Klein to control the military general for the time being and pretend that nothing happened, and then wait until another time. Make him disappear.

As Arianna restored the "hidden" world to reality, Klein returned to the bedroom belonging to the master's house, and Qonas Kilger, who had become a marionette, appeared in the guest bedroom dozens of meters away.

Knowns quietly landed on Klein's shoulder, making no sound and only looking at him curiously.

Klein controlled the marionette on the other side to put away his weapon, and he was concentrating on teasing the skylark on his shoulder: "I always feel that this matter is never over, what do you think?"

Skylark nudged his fingers twice. Seeing that Klein had no intention of feeding him snacks, Norns flew away from him again and returned to the cage with the door open.

It didn't even forget to close the door to itself.

Klein put on his pajamas and lay back on the bed. He was not completely asleep, but maintained the pretense of falling asleep, patiently waiting for Ms. Arianna's response.

The sound of gunshots broke the silence of the Red Brick Lane in the East End.

Almost a year ago, according to the newspaper, a gun battle broke out between two gangs here. One of them was the "Zimange Party", but the information on the other side was unclear.

After that, the neighborhood was cleared by the police, but after the "police personnel" of suspicious origins left, new gangs quickly annexed the remaining territory.

While there are residents who have moved out of fear, there are also people who have no fear and even intend to move here.

Barnabas was spinning the lucky coin in his hand, with the marionette accompanying him beside him. When he heard the gunshot, he roughly identified the location of the shooter by comparing the direction of the map in his mind.

This made Barnabas curse a few more curse words in his mind. That house seemed to be his destination tonight, and the house he was looking for to rent was right there.

Barnabas quickly made a divination with gold coins. With the head facing upwards, the people in the room would not pose a threat to him.

So Barnabas didn't hesitate. He asked Marionette to wait in the shadows downstairs. He quickly climbed up the raised window edge of the outer wall. In just a few leaps, he approached the third-floor window. , carefully keeping his body close to the outside.

There were vague voices inside the house, but because the windows were closed, Barnabas couldn't hear them clearly. He could only make out the accented Rune language spoken by one of them.

That person is his informant Jayne, and the two have met twice before.

Barnabas could feel the flames of the candles in the house. When he approached the window, the scene inside the house was blurred before his eyes.

Jayne, who is short in stature, has short and thick black hair that stands upright, and is as strong as a stone pile, is almost kneeling on the ground. His left shoulder is covered with a whip mark like a thorn, and the blood stains are slowing down. Slowly penetrates out.

Jayne was holding a gun in his right hand. Even though the pain in his left shoulder was causing him great pain, the revolver in his right hand was pointed steadily at another figure.

The middle-aged man wearing a long gray trench coat had regular features, a short beard on his chin, gray hairpin and half-bald hair, and cold green eyes.Standing opposite Jayne, he just smiled and moved his lips slightly, as if he didn't care at all that the black hole-like muzzle was aimed at his face.

A lunatic who is not afraid of death?No, judging from the fact that he had no weapons in his hands, but judging from the serious injury on Jayne's shoulder, this man must be an extraordinary person to rely on.

This is a bit troublesome. If I do it rashly without knowing the origin of the other party, then as an extraordinary person, there is a high probability that I will become the priority target of the other party...

There are many strange people in Backlund. Although Barnabe behaves very arrogantly, it does not mean that he is really arrogant.

A painful scream came from the room, causing Banabei's fingers on the window to tighten slightly.

That's right, he is just a marginal informant left by Intis, and he doesn't even have a boss with whom he has stable contact. From this point of view, Jayne's own value is not high, and he is not doing well.Eighty percent of the time, they are forced by life and want to make a fortune, which is why they come to such a distant foreign country...

Banabei rested his hand on his lucky gold coin, still hesitating.The sound in the room suddenly became louder, and Jayne's accented voice became shrill with pain: "Okay, okay! Let me tell you! There was a man who came to see me recently! He had brown hair and a horoscope Hu, his name is Pascal...yes, yes, his skin color is darker, this must be a disguise!"

This idiot with a head full of wine bottles!He just sold me! ?

His spiritual intuition suddenly moved, and Banabei stopped hesitating and snapped his fingers.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, the candle flame in the room suddenly burst open, and the hot wax oil flew away with the flames, falling all over the room in an instant.

Someone in the room heard a cry of pain, and then another groan.

The window suddenly shattered, and with the sound of the glass being smashed into pieces, a figure flew out from inside and fell to the ground.

Banabei felt something, and the Marionette hiding in the shadows suddenly ran out, grabbed the man's collar, and successfully prevented the unconscious Jayne from smashing his face on the ground.

Throwing Jayne into the shadow where the Marionette was hiding just now, Banabei did not rush out rashly, but still clung to the wall, patiently waiting for the other party's move.

Jayne didn't have the pistol in his hand. Without knowing what extraordinary items or abilities the other party had, Barnabas was more willing to be the one to take action later.

However, what made Barnabas suspicious was that the other party didn't care about the flames burning in the house. He could still clearly feel the fire growing in the house.

Is it...

At the moment when spiritual intuition gave an early warning, Banabei jumped directly to the ground decisively. The Marionette moved closer in cooperation, letting Banabei's outstretched hands fall on his bent back.

The tuxedo flipped around and landed firmly on the ground. If it were a circus, landing a few meters high in the air would inevitably result in applause from the audience.

The silence on the street was once again broken. A group of bloated flaming birds erupted from the window on the third floor. Under spiritual control, they circled flexibly and turned a corner, flying straight towards the two people on the ground.

"Ha, are you playing with fire?"

Banabei chuckled, and the marionette threw off the gray robe with his backhand. As the purple flames rose up along the marionette's upper body, the skin seemed to be scorched and turned into deep black. The curly head horns and bat-wing-like The wings quickly extended.

This made the middle-aged man standing behind the window frown as he looked at his opponent below.

All the flames in the room had been extinguished. Under the control of his extraordinary items, they turned into firebirds and pounced on the two unidentified extraordinary people below.

Of course he could see that the other party was an Extraordinary. As a Sequence Seven "Interrogator", his previous Sequence was a "Sheriff", and he was very sensitive to anomalies within his jurisdiction.

Not to mention that now that the other party has revealed its identity, one of them is actually a "demon" with obvious characteristics. However, in the past, this evil feeling was well hidden, and the middle-aged man was surprised that he was not aware of it.

In his hand, he held tightly the bright red brooch on his chest, with the shape of a daisy carved on it.

This is a magical item he owns, and its name is "Fireworks". It corresponds to the "Pyromancer" in sequence seven of the "Hunter" path. It has the ability to control flames, resist fire damage, and cause fire explosions, etc. It fits the name very well. related effects.

The side effects are extreme violent tendencies and intermittent loss of feeling of pain. The latter makes it easy for people to ignore their own injuries during combat, while the former often leads the bearer into trouble. But as long as this magical item is used with blood Tie it with a bandage to effectively limit its impact on the outside world.

The demon spread its wings, flew upwards without hesitation, and bumped into several firebirds that screamed silently with his body.

The moment they touched the purple flames around the demon, the bodies of the firebirds immediately collapsed and turned into fine flames that were absorbed by the demon, and then quickly turned into purple-black.

Barnabei whistled in the direction of the window, then slightly changed his mouth shape and made a "bang" sound.

The opponent dodged very timely and quickly retreated behind the window. The air bullet once again shattered a remaining piece of glass at the window.

The middle-aged man swept away the shards of glass that fell on his chest and quickly ran towards the door of the house. He had to quickly spread the news that a "devil" had infiltrated. This person was probably a descendant of the demon family!

Strictly speaking, his idea was indeed correct, but the middle-aged man's actions were far from correct.

If he had not rushed to the rooftop at this time and wanted to leave through the route he had sneaked in from the top floor before, but had run away directly from the front door, he might have been able to use his familiarity with the "jurisdiction" to deal with Barnabas for a while. Delay until someone from the Church of Darkness arrives here.

Because the demon flew directly to the window, and Banabei asked the demon to send a fireball towards his head. The next moment, Banabei stepped out of the sulfur-smelling fireball and stepped on the roof of the house.

The moment the middle-aged man opened the door, he saw a man in a tuxedo smiling evilly and waving to him warmly.
