Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 94

Esther's new residence in the Bridge District was quickly confirmed. She didn't have many things, and she only had one more suitcase than when she went to the East District.In addition to the gold pounds thrown to Klein for him to look at, Esther also kept about a hundred gold pounds in cash in her hands. The denominations were mainly one gold pound and five gold pounds, which were reserved for daily expenses. .

During the day, she was still in several economically relaxed and crowded areas, looking for cafes to play music and attract customers. She didn't slack off just because she got the funds, and she also had to plan for the future.

"Where did you get so much money?" Xiao Wu, who had been sleeping for too long recently, finally woke up. He was quite surprised by Esther's sudden wealth, "You finally got the hang of it and decided to play the 'stealer' well?"

"No, I only made that order—" Esther swallowed the puffs in hand in two or three gulps, took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, "Then I'm heading towards a better life, hehe."

Xiao Wu turned around suspiciously, without making too many comments, he asked instead: "Has that guy not come back yet?"

"It's true that Xiao Qi hasn't heard from her..." Esther didn't directly say the last sentence of worry, for fear that she might accidentally tell Xiao Qi something unexpected.

"No, at most it's just losing freedom." Xiao Wu replied lazily, as if he didn't care about it.

Esther hesitated for a few seconds. She really didn't have many people to discuss with, so she had to ask Xiao Wu, who seemed to have a long family history: "So, do you know the history of the Second and Third Epochs?"

"It depends on what you want to ask. If you don't ask me, how will I know if I can answer?"

"There was an ancient god who met the skylark who gave him a ring." Esther almost omitted the entire story, and only picked the most boring outline. "Do you know anything about it?"

Xiao Wu thought for a long time, until Esther ate the last two leftover cream puffs, and then slowly shook his head: "I don't know, because I 'can't know'."

"Can't you know?"

"You can regard it as the secret of the 'Amon Family', but I can only be regarded as a member of the middle class. The head of the family is also a 'thief' approach, and he has stolen most of the family members' related ideas."

Esther frowned: "Is he still alive?"

"Of course, after reaching the level of a saint, lifespan can no longer be measured by human time. The 'Tail Swallower' Ouroreus in your dream is a ready-made example. He has survived from the Second Epoch until now."

However, what Xiao Wu didn't say is that Esther himself is probably the same case. He has no evidence now and can only guess.

"It turns out that his name is Ouroreus..." Esther silently memorized the name, "but why did your patriarch steal ideas about this skylark? No wonder when you discussed with Xiaoqi before, the two of you I get dazed from time to time.”

"It's just an insidious and obnoxious guy who cheats even his own family members." Xiao Wu seemed to be quite dissatisfied. Knowledge on that topic keeps being stolen.”

"The idea of ​​stealing most of your members? Very 'stealer' style indeed."

Xiao Wu lowered his head: "So I can't help you at all in this matter, and Xiao Qi can only help you to a limited extent."

Although she didn't know the "owner" well, Esther already disliked him a little: "What's the point of him stealing this lark's bird? It's really annoying not to leave any clues."

"Maybe it's because Skylark offended him, offended him too hard, and he holds a grudge."

Esther was silent for a few seconds before she said, "No need, this suddenly added a potential enemy to me...Although I'm not a skylark, can't we avoid him if we want to track down this matter?"

"I don't know, like I told you, I can't know."

Xiao Wu shook his head, rolled into a small ball again, and fell into a deep sleep state of ignoring Esther.

Esther rubbed the center of her right eyebrow, always feeling that things were getting more and more troublesome.

After thinking for a while, she had no idea where to start the search, and could only plan to go to the library to look through those antique historical stories.

There is no news on the surface of the Fifth Epoch, so there is a high probability that this family will make a fortune in the Fourth Epoch, maybe even earlier?

If you really can't find a clue, you have to trouble your fellow villagers again.

-

On Monday evening, Esther set foot on Minsk Street again with apple pie, almond biscuits and sweet iced tea, and knocked on the door of No.15.

The wife of NO.17 is preparing to go out accompanied by the maid, and is waiting for the hired carriage on the side of the road.Seeing her looking over, Esther nodded with a friendly smile, because she could barely curtsy because she was carrying something in her hand.

The lady wearing the gemstone necklace looked at Esther with a little surprise, and then smiled back enthusiastically, and even seemed a little excited.

Soon Klein came to open the door, and welcomed Esther, who was visiting, into the house.

Esther smiled and asked, "How about it, did I bother you?"

"Of course not. You brought so many things again? That's too polite."

"Food tastes better when shared."

Klein took what Esther was holding, brewed a pot of Xibo black tea, and brought it to the low table in the reception living room. He knew that Esther didn't like coffee, since Tingen, so there was no need to ask.

"There is no news about the Extraordinary Gathering yet, and I haven't found the time to purchase the weapons you want."

It was only then that Esther remembered that there was another thing:
"Then give priority to daggers or short swords, because my Extraordinary Sequence has a hand control bonus. Weapons that are too big are inconvenient to carry. For guns, it depends on the situation. I don't know if there are any Extraordinary weapons that don't require bullets."

Klein nodded: "I see. But you came today for other things, right?"

After Esther entered the door, she was a little restless. Seeing her staring at the teacup in a daze, Klein had this kind of speculation.

"Yes, because your Extraordinary circle is much wider than mine, I'm curious if you have heard about a certain family."

"A very old family?"

"It's not the Fifth Epoch, it should be the family of the Fourth Epoch. I went to the public library to find it, and there is almost no information left. You also know that there are few official records on the history of the Fourth Epoch."

Klein didn't mind sharing with Esther the information he heard from Emperor Roselle's diary and the Tarot meeting: "I can check it for you, maybe I've heard it too."

"I trust the knowledge of the history students, so I came here to find you," Esther smiled, looking at Klein, "I heard that the family's surname is 'Amon'."

The hair on the back of Klein's neck exploded in an instant. The experience of exorcising the "sun" and almost causing the gray mist to invade left him with a lot of shadow.

He struggled to maintain his calm on the surface, and nodded slightly: "This seems to be indeed a family from the Fourth Epoch. I heard some related rumors at a secret gathering of Extraordinary."

"I'm a little curious about what's going on with that family, and what's going on with the family members and the 'patriarch'."

Klein didn't immediately tell what he knew. Hearing the name "Amon" come out of Esther's mouth at random, he felt a strong chill behind his back: "I can help you find out, but I can't Guaranteed how much harvest."

Seeing that Klein agreed, Esther was also relieved, and reminded him by the way:
"If you really meet a member of that family, you must be careful. Their patriarch is also a 'saint'. If he can live to the Fifth Epoch, he has already surpassed the scope of human beings."

Seeing Klein's silence, Esther added: "Even though their family members have been away from society for a long time, they have left no trace at all. This is too abnormal."

"It's really weird."

"I'm worried that 'Zoya' will have conflicts with him, and I will be targeted, so I can let go of the investigation of this name first. If your divination is dangerous, you can also give up the investigation of the Amon family. I don't want to cause trouble for you."

Klein nodded silently. He twirled a copper penny between his fingers, but never threw it up.
