Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 65 The Missionaries of Rose Flower Street
Backlund's subway, to put it bluntly, is the railway tracks and steam trains laid in the city, and Esther still chose the third-class seat.But this time, she didn't fight for the few seats with other people, but found a corner near the window, and stood with the map open, so that she could communicate with Xiao Qi and Xiao Wu more convenient when.

Xiao Wu once again suggested asking Esther to find someone for help. Although he repeatedly emphasized the "Amon Family Mutual Assistance Regulations" and other words, Esther could easily identify the truth hidden in the words from Xiao Qi's sniffy attitude. with malicious lies.

Even the "bank unregistered account" mentioned by Xiao Wu, Esther also denied it in one word. In this regard, her spiritual intuition almost buzzed, so Esther adopted a policy of complete veto.

"You have no spiritual intuition at all! Stop kidding yourself!"

Xiao Wu cursed bitterly, and then fell into a deep sleep isolated from the world.

"Were you as angry as Xiao Wu at that time?"

Xiao Qi blinked innocently, looking very well-behaved: "No, it's just that he is more strongly influenced by you. He is an Amon with stronger self-esteem than me. This may have something to do with our respective experiences."

"It's not the same even when they're all bugs?"

"Of course, like each of your hairs, even if they are similar, they are a little bit different."

Esther faced the window of the steam train and looked at her strange but familiar reflection from inside. A few light spots came out from her temples, chased them around twice and then retracted. Esther put away the map and sighed: " I have to admit that what you said makes sense."

"Seriously, you should buy a newspaper. Looking at the map for so long, it's easy to make people think that your mind is not normal." Xiao Qi whispered in her ear softly.

Esther looked up at the person sitting on the chair next to him. It was a strong man in a dark blue workman's uniform, and his muscles stretched the ill-fitting uniform.

The moment Esther's gaze moved over, the man turned his head sideways, pretending to be looking at the tunnel outside the car window.

But Esther had already noticed through the reflection of the car window that this man was looking at her. He got on the car two stops ago, and walked over with the flow of people at the last stop, taking advantage of his height to sweep over her. Esther blocked the map for a while, then kept checking the situation around her, and immediately pushed away the people who were sitting in that position.

After noticing that no one else came to touch Esther, the man stared visibly tighter, showing the excitement of a hyena smelling prey.

"Do I look so easy to bully? This is really difficult..."

Amidst the marching sound of "clang bang bang dang", Esther's murmurs were covered up.

The next stop of the steam train is the south area of ​​the bridge.

The train slowly entered the station, and Esther walked slowly towards the door. The moment the door opened, Esther secretly made a grabbing motion at the man under the cover of the windbreaker.She straightened herself up suddenly, as if standing up from a chair, and then quickly stepped off the steam train.

The man stayed there in a daze, until the steam train blew its horn and set off again, and he came back to his senses, feeling empty in his head.He looked around quickly, but the young woman with pale blond hair had long since disappeared.

Because she was too unfamiliar with the ability to steal "non-real things" like this, Esther was so nervous just now that she grabbed all the things she could steal, including the actions the man was about to take and a lot of memories.This is completely irresistible for an ordinary person. When Esther "exerted too much force", the man's thinking was even suppressed for a few minutes.

Esther walked out of the station, digesting the things she just stole, and briefly analyzed the man's identity with the ability of "cryptographer".

"Human traffickers in the Eastern District are so chaotic? The law and order there is much worse than I imagined. Tsk, they only catch girls and young girls, and you know what kind of business they are... What a scumbag, I should steal his wallet !"

"Now you admit that you stole it again?" Xiaoqi said lazily, not worried about Esther's personal safety at all. A Sequence Five "Dream Stealer" with the abilities of strange light spots, if you can't kick An ordinary person's butt, then Esther should be parasitized by other Amons as soon as possible.

Xiao Qi tilted her head, suddenly looking forward to Esther's situation when she encountered more troubles.

-

Amid Esther's gibberish excuses, such as "plundering the rich and aiding the poor", and "executing the law in place of God", she took to the streets of the south side of the bridge.Compared to next to the steam train station, the prices marked at the store entrance here made her feel a lot more comfortable, and the few soules in her arms than when she set off also gave Esther a little comfort.

Of course, things are still more expensive than Tingen.

Walking through a few stops, Esther accidentally discovered that there is also a church in the south area of ​​the bridge, which is on Rose Flower Street.The golden-yellow spire reflects the light of the sky outside the smog, like a finely carved small pile of sand, which is unique among the reddish-brown or blue-gray roofs.The holy emblem of life is engraved on the outer wall, and the symbols of wheat ears, flowers and spring water surround the outside of the simple baby, implying beauty and tenderness.

When Esther passed by the door, she glanced inside. The Harvest Church of the Church of the Mother Earth was quite deserted. There were no people coming and going at the door, and there were only a few believers.

This is in line with the marginalization of the Church of the Mother Earth in the Kingdom of Loen. After all, the base of this church is in Feneport. Lieyang's churches are extremely hostile, full of historical factors that Esther doesn't know much about.

But now it seems that those things are quite far from her life.

Esther walked to the other end of the street, intending to find out if there is a cheap rental house nearby that does not require identification.

Thinking about it this way, she'd better get an identity certificate, otherwise the jobs she can find are quite limited.

At this moment, someone came out of the church and directly called to Esther who wanted to leave: "Ma'am, do you need to come in?"

Esther turned around and saw that it was an unusually tall man dressed as a clergyman, wearing a bishop's soft hat with a golden wheat ear symbol painted on it, his light blue eyes revealed a softness that did not match his strong body, he His face is full of vicissitudes and clear wrinkles, and his light eyebrows are stable in a horizontal position, which confirms his peaceful and peaceful mood swings.

There was nothing important, so Esther walked over calmly, and Xiao Qi on her shoulder was also looking at the bishop with her.

But after approaching, Esther immediately regretted her actions, without him, this bishop is too tall!
I don't know how tall he is two meters. Esther stepped forward and felt that she was almost pressed by a wall on top of her head. When she raised her head to speak, her neck felt strained.

"Hello, Mr. Bishop, I'm just a little curious, and I don't mean to offend you."

The tall bishop smiled slightly, and guided Esther into the church of the Mother of the Earth with gestures. Since the spiritual intuition did not generate warnings, Esther did not want to arouse the other party's vigilance, so she followed quietly.

There was no one in the church, and there were only rows of thick wooden seats in the hall, waiting quietly for the believers to put their bodies and minds here. The candlesticks on both sides were wiped clean, and the huge holy emblem of life at the front was the most light-emitting place. In a good place, the light shines through the flowerbeds, streams and wheat fields made of stained glass, surrounding the baby in the middle.

Esther doesn't want to get in touch with official Beyonders because of her status as a Beyonder, but she doesn't reject the clergy of various churches.In Esther's conception, she doesn't think that anyone who comes will be watched by the true god, especially after staying in Tingen Nighthawks, Esther, who has never been exposed to ritual magic and the spirit world, has a different concept of the true god. less bias.

Those favored by the gods should not be Chinese cabbages, they are everywhere.Esther thought so.

However, this bishop does not seem to be an ordinary person. He has a kind of power that Esther is slightly familiar with, but because of the restraint of the bishop himself, Esther is not sure where he has felt similar extraordinary power fluctuations.If an accident does happen, she has a lot of confidence to get out, after all, there is no one else in the prayer hall, and she has sensed it as soon as she entered.

If you can't beat her, you should always run.

Esther couldn't keep quiet all the time, but walking in the prayer hall, she subconsciously lowered her voice: "May I ask what you want from me?"

The bishop glanced at her curiously, and said, "I just feel that since there are guests, I should fulfill my responsibility. There are very few guests here, but the Church of the Mother God will not reject anyone. You can find a seat you like .”

Esther simply sat in the first row and watched the bishop walk to the front of the holy emblem. She was only a few steps away from Esther, so that Esther could better observe the whole picture of the bishop .

Because he was standing in the brightest position in the entire prayer hall, it seemed that his back was covered with a layer of soft golden light.

The bishop's broader forehead and cheekbones, deep-set features, and thick nose are all typical features of the Feysacs, including his giant height.It is said that the people living in the Feysac Empire have the blood of the ancient giant race, so their height is far beyond ordinary people, and both men and women have a natural size advantage.

Under Esther's gaze, the bishop smoothed out the folds of the brown bishop's coat, and put his hands in front of him.He didn't even need to take out the scriptures, those well-known words jumped out of his lips and spread out in this quiet and solemn prayer hall:

"The breeze flaps its wings,
on the golden wheat field

Compose joyous songs in rustle.

The breeze blows toward the colorful flower fields,

uttering low whispers,
Amorous glances pass.

Mother approached the earth,
infinite sounds, shadows and lights,
Free play on the baby's tender cheeks.

The vastness of the land, the length of the stream,

It seems that the ignorance of all beings has emerged
Wonderful smile, thousands of appearances,

All due to the joy of harvest. "*
Following the bishop's chanting, Esther gradually relaxed her mind, and Xiao Qi landed on her lap, allowing Esther to gently stroke her feathers, her half-closed eyes full of vigilance.

Esther blindly believes in spiritual intuition, and Xiao Qi can see very clearly the details that she inadvertently overlooks. The bishop's palm has thick calluses worn out by holding swords all year round, and his body is full of the smell left by killing.
