Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Mr. Azik not only helped Klein re-seal the "Creeping Hunger", but also directly gave "Hell Admiral" Ludwell to Klein and made him a marionette.

According to Mr. Azik's explanation, high-ranking people on the "God of Death" pathway have strong suppression capabilities against lower-ranking people. Klein still finds it incredible.

Ludwell was controlled by the spiritual thread like that, but there were signs of struggle in his body, but in the end nothing was done.

Klein even took back the "murloc cuff pin" that he had left on the ship.

With the help of the ring left by the God of Death and the copper whistle, Mr. Azik led Klein to the Raging Sea and found the entrance to the cold mausoleum.

After leaving the mausoleum, Mr. Azik said goodbye to Klein.

He saw his half-divided soul and learned that he was the back-up man behind the resurrection of Salinger, the "God of Death". After making his choice, Azik was about to fall into a deep sleep of unknown duration. He sent Klein back to the hotel room and agreed that Klein would continue to write to him.

Klein clenched the ancient and exquisite copper whistle in his hand and watched Mr. Azik disappear into the room, feeling inexplicably empty in his heart.

Mr. Azik gave up the other half of his soul and was willing to remain in his current state and continue to sleep. He didn't know how long it would be before the two of them met next time.

As I become dead again and again, I keep forgetting everything in the past, and when I wake up, I have to look for my past experiences again...

Klein could never forget the peaceful smile on Mr. Azik’s face at the moment he made his decision.

When will he receive a reply from Mr. Azik?

At the same time, there was another thing that troubled Klein. The lady with dark eyes and no spirituality told Klein an unusually brief sentence:

"The Holy Emblem."

Black Night is also their senior, and the badge can communicate with her through dreams. This is what Esther said when she left the Holy Emblem of Black Night. Klein remembers it clearly, but he has never had the idea of ​​using that item.

That beautiful lady wearing a hood, her true identity was already obvious.

Want to use it?

Klein sat in the hall above the gray fog, with a citrine pendulum hanging in his hand, and performed several divination with changing words.

At least judging from the divination results, this matter can only be good for Klein, and there is no harm. The goddess of the night has no hostility towards him.

But when thinking about the last time the lady sent him into the foggy town, it was difficult for Klein to say whether this was considered "hostility". As far as the result was concerned, Klein gained the "Mystic Mage" in that crisis. recipe.

After that incident, the internal investigation of the matter within the church did not last long. It was more like someone suppressed it secretly.

The goddess of the night has known about my existence for a long time? Even from the fact that Esther was admitted to Chanis Gate, there is a high probability that He knows that we are both time travellers. Since Esther knows the effect of that badge, she must have used it, and I don't know if she got the answer she wanted.

Klein left the gray fog, arranged the prayer ceremony, and then gave himself the silver Holy Emblem of Darkness that he threw onto the gray fog for easy portability.

When he simply put the Holy Emblem under his pillow, Klein was still very nervous, so he lay on the bed and spent a lot of time calming his mind before falling into sleep.

The peaceful darkness was endless, until the dream suddenly appeared from it. The moment Klein realized that he was dreaming, his feet had already stepped on the endless night herbs and deep sleep flowers.

The power of tranquility calmed his uneasiness, and thick darkness surrounded the place, making it impossible for Klein to see the scene further away.

A gentle light lit up from the darkness and floated in the direction of Klein. It was not until it approached that Klein saw the figure covered by layers of darkness.

A light ball was held in the black shadow's hand. The light inside was exactly the same as Zoya's on the gray fog, but it did not condense and embrace. There were only slowly rotating and scattered light spots.

Klein hesitated, but after a few seconds, he lowered his head and nodded Crimson Moon over his heart: "Hello."

He did not call the other person "Night Goddess" rashly. If he called the wrong person, the scene would be even more embarrassing.

The other party's cold voice came directly from the black shadow: "This is the first time we have officially met and communicated directly. I know you, Klein Moretti. You can call me 'Night'."

The goddess of the night, is she really her? So I just stood in front of a true God?

Klein still felt a little weird, but he still bowed respectfully. It was difficult for him to respond to such a conversation, so he remained silent for the time being.

The figure of "Dark Night" nodded slightly: "Are you very concerned about Azik Eggers' situation?"

This question was much simpler, and Klein answered without hesitation: "Yes, Mr. Azik has been helping me and guiding me when I was weak. He has given me a lot of help, and he is very important to me." Important teachers.”

"Since you want to help your teacher so much, you can ask Esther for something. If you ask, she will definitely give it to you."

Klein was silent for several seconds. He didn't understand why "Dark Night" was so sure that Esther would give it to him. Something like that sounded precious, but Klein still asked, "What is that thing?"

"A bone spur that looks like a long sword. It's a very fragile piece of Death's bones, but it can be used to transform the divided souls of Azik Eggers. Although there are very few parts left, it can help him stabilize his origins. Memories of the past.”

Klein's eyes gradually widened, but because he was worried about the identity of the figure opposite him, he did not express his doubts - why does Esther have such a thing?

She had previously said that she had obtained a strange bone sword and named it "Pale Bone Nail", but she had not shown the specialness of that bone sword in front of me...

As if seeing Klein's doubts, "Black Night" gently let go, letting the light ball similar to Zoya float in the direction of Klein and stop in front of him.

There was a smile in Dark Night's voice: "Esther would say that this is the 'guide of fate', but many accidents have their inevitability."

Klein did not reach out to touch the ball of light, but he seemed to know what the reward "Dark Night" wanted to exchange with him: "Does she know Mr. Azik? Does she know that he is my teacher?"

"No, Esther knows nothing about the past now. But Zoya knows, and knows everything about us." The smile in "Hei Ye"'s voice was nowhere to be found, "I didn't understand until after the catastrophe. That’s it.”

"Any condition Zoya puts forward to us is to escape from the kingdom of the Lord of the Spirit World. However, this matter also occurs based on his mission. Long before he fell into the real world, Zoya had already been His mission is so tightly bound that even He himself is not aware of it.”

Klein quickly combined these words with what he knew, but he still had a partial understanding. He still didn't understand enough: "You said it was part of it, but what is his complete mission?"

"Black Night" sighed softly: "It is to 'resurrect the Lord of Mysteries', not to 'let the Lord of Mysteries be born'. Zoya's anchoring is a very precious ability for demigods, but for some ways Let's talk...

"It is a shortcut that can more effectively awaken the 'Lord of Mysteries'. He may revive in any extraordinary person of a specific path, but some people are more suitable 'containers'."

Klein felt that the amount of information "Dark Night" told him was too much, and he could no longer digest it in a short time: "That person..."

"The previous 'Lord of Mysteries' was also the Lord of the Spirit World. This matter was a secret discovered by others only after long-term contact with Zoya. Even Zoya or Esther did not know that there was such a huge problem in this regard. Hidden danger.”

Klein was silent for a while, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. He just stared at the ball of light in front of him, remembering the "deal" Zoya mentioned at that time.

Klein flatly rejected the deal. At first, he was just worried that it would harm Esther, but now that he thinks about it... he avoided an extremely dangerous trap.

Seeing his hesitation and embarrassment, Dark Night raised his hand, and the light ball floated away from Klein again:

"If you obtain something like that, you can perform a ceremony and sacrifice it to me at any time. Remember to consider what you want. It is worth a fairly valuable transaction."

"But Esther is missing. There is no news at all. I haven't seen her since she gave this badge to me." Klein said hastily.

He noticed that the darkness at the edge of the dream was twisting and turbulent, and the sleeping flower under his feet was slowly stirring, transforming into slender blocks of color.

The figure of "Dark Night" became blurred, and only the glimmer of light in his hand was still bright and clear: "Esther will be fine, because her death is worthless, so she will definitely survive, but..."

Klein wanted to say something else, but the dream was sinking into the gloomy shadows, and he could only hear the indifferent voice that fell vaguely into his ears.

"I don't know if she will still be the Esther you know."

Klein opened his eyes from the bed.

He didn't feel like he had slept, but rather like he had just experienced an extremely fierce battle. The pain all over his body felt like he had been beaten. The dizziness caused by spiritual dryness caused everything in front of him to... Even the ceiling was spinning crazily.

Such a strong reaction forced Klein to close his eyes tightly on the bed and lie there for a while longer.

After a moment of meditation, his racing heartbeat returned to normal. Klein propped up his body on his elbows and climbed out of bed.

His eyebrows were also throbbing. The aftereffects of this "friendly exchange" were much more painful than Klein expected. Didn't Esther react?

However, when Klein lifted the pillow, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The silver Holy Emblem of Dark Night has been broken into several pieces.

So this becomes a one-time calling card? Obviously I still have a lot of things I haven’t had time to ask...
