Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Lev was still walking in front, and he didn't seem to give Esther much time to hesitate. He took the lead in walking into the huge building that was gray and black with red lines, and Esther had to quickly follow.

She only had time to glance at the towering iron pipes connected to the outside of the building. The thick smoke floating at the top of Spark City came from here. When she looked closer, it looked more like a spear stuck straight into Spark City, or It is the pillar supporting the dark sky, silently spitting out the suffocating black smoke.

There is no way that what was burned here was charcoal or coal. Esther had an inexplicable intuition that this was the secret to Spark City's survival.

One thing that is different from other buildings is that the doors and walls here are no longer made of metal, but more simple and fragile gray and white stones. They are mottled and old.

The moment the door closed, Esther realized that the surroundings were quiet. She was suddenly out of an environment full of knocking sounds, which made her feel uncomfortable for a moment. Soon, she realized the source of this dissonance. It was too quiet in this building, as if the sound was subconsciously avoiding this place, unwilling to go deeper, and was isolated from the outside by the door.

There was no sound in the building, only the footsteps of the two people, so Lev's scattered steps on the ground were particularly obvious. He was obviously absent-minded because of deep thought. Lev's face turned red due to the rising heat in the surrounding environment, but because of the route, he didn't sweat at all, and he had already adapted to the situation here.

The man's forward speed was not affected at all, but after he noticed that Esther was completely unresponsive, his brows gradually wrinkled again.

It was hotter in the depths, and their destination lay deep inside.

Esther was still thinking about what the crow had said before. She reached out and poked the crow's paw again, but this time, the black-feathered thief bit her finger impatiently, leaving a sharp pain. Didn't explain what he meant.

The corridors here maintain the usual style of Spark City - narrow, dense, and crowded to the point where it makes people feel suffocated. However, there are quite a lot of "decorations" here. Diamond-shaped squares made of various unknown materials are inlaid or hung on Some of the walls and ceilings were completely burned black, and it was no longer possible to see what was originally carved.

Such a completely closed environment, as well as endless corridors and rooms at a glance, made Esther subconsciously think of the many sealed objects behind Chanis' door.

She did not let go of her senses to investigate, but judging from the situation of the Silver City Round Tower, there should be many magical items belonging to Spark City stored here. Lev did not take Esther to turn into the doors marked with different symbols. Rather than words, they seemed to prefer to use abstract symbols to distinguish rooms and cross paths. Esther had noticed this as early as in Spark City.

The two of them walked deeper and deeper along the corridor decorated with arched bones, and finally came to the end. As soon as they passed the corner, the space here suddenly opened up. The hall, like those strange signs, appeared as a whole. It is diamond-shaped, but except for a white bone round table and a few matching stone chairs, there is nothing extra in the hall.

The temperature in the hall is actually much lower than that in the corridor, and is not much different from outside the building, and the thing giving off bursts of chill is on the other side facing the entrance.

That was another closed door. The moment she saw it, even Esther felt her heart tighten. There seemed to be something very special behind the door, so much so that even if it was still sealed, Esther would be frightened. Silte has a special feeling.

The black door engraved with complex patterns looks so abrupt and incompatible with the overall white building here.

The hall was no longer empty. There were only two chairs at the round table that were not empty. They seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, and Esther was not surprised by this.

The man among them also had a full head of red hair, but unlike Lev's neat short hair, his messy red hair was similar to a chicken coop, blackened by a lot of ashes. His face was also rough and mottled. Although there were not many wrinkles, his skin itself was gray and he did not look in good physical condition.

The man wore a red iron sheet as clothing, and his extremely thick hands were covered with thick calluses. There were two symmetrical diamond-shaped symbols on the back of his hands. He rubbed the back of his hand, his tired dark gray eyes fixed on the table. Even though he tensed up because of the sound, he never turned his face. The other person sitting at the round table is a young and beautiful lady. She even looks a little younger than Esther. Unlike the others, she is wearing a simple blood-red dress and looks elegant. dignified. This lady is not tall. She has a pair of bright eyes under her full forehead. They are bright red and quiet. Her silky black hair is kept short for easy management. She exudes a pungent but refreshing herb. taste.

The moment Esther and Lev entered the door, the lady subconsciously wrinkled her nose, and then quickly pinched the bridge of her nose. After noticing Esther's appraising gaze, she seemed to feel that such an action was inappropriate. She lowered her hand again and gave Esther a friendly smile.

For the first time, Lev stood between the two people and took the initiative to introduce to Esther:

"These two are my colleagues and members of Spark City's council, or 'sirs'."

Lev pointed to the man: "Smith Schwarog."

However, the man was still staring at the table, as if he had not heard this sentence at all. It was not until Lev punched him hard on the back of his armor that the pale-faced Smith shook his head randomly: "What, what? ?Oh, Lev, when did you come back?"

His acting skills were so poor that the lady next to him couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, sorry, guest. Smith is not very good at dealing with people."

Then she stood up and nodded to Esther, who was walking over: "I am Bartley Schwarogg, one of the current 'chiefs' of Spark City."

"You can just call me Esther."

The crow on Esther's shoulder had no intention of saying hello to the other person. Smith nervously turned his head and glanced in this direction, then quickly looked back. His lips kept moving, but he didn't make any sound while talking to himself.

After such self-introduction, several people were silent for a moment. Before this silent embarrassment fermented, Lev looked at the dark door at the end:

"So...she's still in there?"

"Yes, with Kach's character, she should be the one who wants to meet the guests the most, but she suddenly said that she wanted to check the core of the seal and went into the 'heart' alone." Bartley answered Lev's question Questioning, he immediately turned to Esther, "Sorry, that is a very important place for us, we can't take you..."

"But Kach said, let the guests in." Smith muttered quietly.

Bartlett raised his eyebrows and stared at Smith who interrupted. Judging from her expression, she looked like she was about to curse. Her previous elegance and reserve had disappeared.

"Let's go." Crow said to Esther.

"But……"

Lev held Baritli's shoulders: "It's okay. Since Kach said so, let them go in." (End of Chapter)
