Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Esther luckily came across an open grocery store and bought bandages from it. She ordered a fish fry to take away from the busy bar next to her, and shook off a few drunken people. A drunkard who followed with bad intentions.

Finally, she found a hotel that looked pretty neat. There were not many places like this along the Tasok River, and the prices were not low. Many businessmen would choose to stay here for a short time. The conditions here were better than any other. The factory area and the east side on the other side are good.

Fortunately, none of the hotels here require identification.

After the tired-looking receptionist threw out the key, Esther ignored his suspicious gaze behind her and walked directly up the stairs.

The first thing she did when she entered the house was to open the window. Then Esther shook the wind chime in her backpack, and Xiao Qi flew into the house from the outside. Esther locked the window and closed all the curtains. Glimmer light spots fell from her hair and scattered on the walls and ceiling, making the room without lights on appear to be floating between the stars.

After Esther confirmed from her spiritual intuition that the bottle of ointment was harmless, she applied it on her shoulders with confidence, and gave a few light spots out of reach, letting them rush back and forth, and the cool stinging pain came from the blood seam. It was coming from everywhere, and it was a little itchy.

"Okay...it's okay for now, what do you want to tell me?"

Esther took Xiao Wu out of her pocket and placed it on the low stool next to her. She just put Xiao Wu back into her pocket before entering the store.

Xiaoqi flew down and landed next to Esther, where she placed a soft cushion. Xiao Qi tried to flap the two light spots with her wings, but they were not affected at all, and radiated light quietly as if they did not exist.

"If I don't force it, they won't condense into a solid body, which will consume a lot of money." Esther explained kindly, smiling slightly because of Xiao Qi's attempt.

Xiao Qi raised her head: "Have you figured out what this light is?"

"No, I still don't understand their nature, but they seem to... have their own consciousness."

"It's really weird."

Esther gestured with her hands: "It's a bit like the fragments of a collection. They can resonate with my thoughts, but they have a little bit of independence, but they don't have much sense of autonomy."

"Clone and body?" Xiao Wu asked.

"It seems so." Esther replied unconvincingly.

Xiao Qi shook his head: "Let's get down to business first, the results of my investigation during this period."

Xiao Wu turned over lazily: "The Aurora Society is also looking for her, and she is treated as a VIP. They also want the Hanged Man to establish contact with her."

"No wonder you were targeted by that audience. There are actually people from the Aurora Society here."

"Audience?" This was the confusion coming from Esther.

Xiao Wu gave the answer: "The sequence of sunglasses is called 'audience', but it seems that it is not only sequence nine."

"It's not even Sequence Seven. He doesn't have any means of mental attack. He relies entirely on the extraordinary item given to him by others. There is a high probability that another organization is behind it."

Esther subconsciously rubbed her right eyebrow: "How come everyone is a wolf in sheep's clothing? Which organization is hostile to Aurora?"

"That's right," Xiao Qi didn't explain further, as if she didn't want to mention it, "Esther, do you have any memories of an older era?"

"I've read some fairy tales, but I don't think that's what you mean."

"It's certainly not the stuff that's been tampered with."

Xiaoqi talked about the older and more distant era, setting a wonderful tone for this conversation: it talked about the supreme god who created everything in the ancient era, bringing light, salvation and civilization to the chaotic earth. He took back the authority he had left in the world and led mankind to fight against other mythical races until all living beings surrendered under the sun and bathed in his mercy and power.

"That ancient god is me, the father of our Amon family."

Esther frowned: "You want to talk about ancestors? There shouldn't be people who live that long, right?"

Xiao Wu shook his head: "Life span is the most insignificant thing in the extraordinary world."

"...Are you really a family?"

Seeing that Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi remained silent in tacit agreement, Esther could only wave her hand: "Okay, then you continue."

"I went to the 'back door' of White Cliff Town, where I saw many arrangements left by the Angel of Time himself, but because the place was very dangerous, I didn't stay long, but there was a mural that contained some hints."

"Wait a minute, this time angel——"

It was Xiao Wu who answered the question: "It's Amon himself."

"The person who founded your family?"

Xiao Wu suddenly laughed twice, which made Esther feel confused. Then he nodded again: "Of course, it's Him, the Angel of Time."

"Angel!?" Esther's fragile stomach seemed to be twisted together again. Even though she had seen the goddess of the night and the evil god suspected of being the "Hanged Man" in her dream, she could not help but feel nervous as she became more familiar with the extraordinary world. , "So that mural is related to the ancient sun god?"

"Yes, the mural depicts the scene of Him welcoming the birth of the two 'Sons of God' in the Third Age, surrounded by many kings of angels. The next details are very interesting: several skylarks fell down with rings in their mouths. , and in His left hand He put a wreath of thorns, in His right hand an olive branch, and in the other a garland of flowers.”

"That is to say, the time when Skylark appears——"

Even earlier than the birth of Amon.

Esther has the urge to empty her head. When the amount of information is too large, the self-defense mechanism possessed by emotions can easily make people regard overly shocking things as jokes to prevent themselves from collapsing.

Feeling that Esther was confused, Xiao Wu reminded her specifically: "What we are saying is not delusional. The history of this world is longer and longer than the part that the public can accept."

Esther vigorously rubbed her right eyebrow, which was constantly twitching and painful, and kept telling herself to calm down in her heart. Just treat it as listening to a story. Yes, it doesn't matter as long as you don't get involved. It's just listening to a story anyway.

It’s impossible for me to live for so many years! I obviously just landed in Tingen last year!

Xiaoqi knocked her tail, jumped down from the cushion, stopped in front of Esther, and observed the disbelief in her eyes: "Don't be afraid, Skylark is not you, isn't it?"

This sentence made Esther's breathing stagnant, and she took a deep breath: "Yes, yes, you are right. I am a human being! It's not a skylark. This is just a clue - maybe this is all It has something to do with my appearance in Tingen, right?”

Xiaowu disapproved of Esther's weak avoidance of reality: "You are not an 'animal tamer', but you can attract those skylarks to visit you every day. Don't you think it's strange?"

Esther's newly relaxed body became stiff again: "Isn't that because I'm feeding them?"

"I remember it wasn't like this when I was in Tingen." Xiao Qi said.

"I was still living behind Chanis Gate at that time," Esther's hand subconsciously attached to the Holy Emblem of Dark Night in her arms, "The Dark Night Council agreed, and it was also to help me stabilize my state..."

"Relax, this development may be good or bad for you, Esther."

Esther patted her forehead lightly: "I don't see what's good about it. I feel like I'm only one step away from going crazy."

Xiao Qi narrowed his eyes, with a sly smile in his dark eyes: "But your power is awakening. It is your own power. Isn't it more reliable than any external object or other people?"

Esther found it difficult to think so. She could not forget the moment when the light spot went against her own will, and she even began to guess whether there was another consciousness in her body.

She did not confess this to Xiao Qi.
