Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang.

The source of the danger of being promoted to Sequence Four easily reminded Esther of the topic discussed with Thomas and the others. Extraordinary people of Sequence Four would come into contact with the level of "divinity", and because of this connection, she would be subject to Further influence of "Zoya"?
However, Esther didn't feel too flustered. She had considered asking "The Fool" for protection before she was promoted. Everyone in the Tarot Club knew that Mr. "The Fool" could ask the "Angel" to give them assistance. It is not a secret, but also a kind of protection for the participants.

Only in this way, Mister Fool's asylum becomes a must. Esther has to consider what can be exchanged at an equivalent value. If she owes more pages of Roselle's diary because of this, she will have to go to Intis Stay longer.

As the place where Roselle made his fortune in this country, there will not be too few diary fragments that can be collected. The most prosperous coastal city Tilis nearby is a good choice, but Esther needs to explore the underground Extraordinary trading market. She plans to ask the three of Aaron about this, maybe they know the corresponding channel.

At least I'm proficient in Intis now, except that this face can't be recognized as a foreigner, and I have nothing to worry about when I go to the underground episode to release the mask again.

After some consideration, Esther came up with a new plan, and now all she has to wait for is the reply letter from "Queen of Mysteries" to Aaron.

-

What Esther didn't expect was that Aaron knocked on her door before she went out to have breakfast.

"Miss Hamel, may I come in?" Aaron asked while standing by the door holding a black cloth wrapped in layers.

Esther immediately retreated to the door and let him in: "Good morning, Mr. Aaron, what are you holding?"

Aaron walked into the room quickly, and after placing the ball of black cloth on the ground, he quickly set up a spiritual wall around the room:
"My teacher is quite satisfied with this transaction. She actually gave me this item with a reply letter this morning. This magical item is not very stable, and the negative effect is too weird!
"Something in my room disappears for a few seconds, and then appears in another place... So I think it's better to bring it to you as soon as possible, so that you can suppress it with those light spots."

Esther looked at Aaron with condemnation in her eyes, and she even repeated what he said: "So you think it's better to bring it to me as soon as possible."

"Yes, is there any problem? I trust your ability to solve this trivial matter!" Aaron's eyes were very sincere, and he was serious.

Esther also helped, and together with Aaron unwrapped the layers of black cloth: "If I'm right, it's just your spiritual intuition that this is the best way."

"Yes, so this must be the best solution."

Don't take your blind trust as an excuse!As soon as you leave the "Clover", you let yourself go and don't take the airs of the captain at all! ?Esther couldn't help complaining wildly in her heart.

Soon the two removed the black cloth to the innermost layer. There was only a square box inside. The body of the box seemed to be made of mahogany. The whole body was only the size of a palm, but the black cloth occupied a large volume.

The top of the box cover is engraved with luxurious gold thread to carve curly lines, and from the curled up arcs extend messy hands of different lengths. The bottom where the curves and straight lines intersect is a circle of scales like the base of a dial.

Esther stopped abruptly: "Aaron, this is indeed what your teacher gave you, isn't it?"

"Yes, a magical item of the 'Parasite' sequence was sent directly by my teacher's courier."

By the way, the courier can still deliver things, the spirit world express... Esther tried to use the wild thoughts in her mind to dispel the fear caused by a certain psychological shadow. Of course she didn't recognize the coat of arms on the top of the box, but it was inexplicable. Reminds me of an angel.

Esther was at a loss. She felt that she was a little sensitive, so she raised her head and glanced at Aaron. In the previous perceptions that she deliberately let go of, Aaron, Thomas, and Alexander were all normal, and they were not parasitized or controlled. signs.

The appearance of this box may be just accidental, after all, they are all "thieves", and there is no reason to be related to the Amon family, yes, it must be like this...

Esther took a deep breath, raised her hand to lift the lid, and glanced at the contents.

"Snapped!"

She closed the lid with extreme force, and there was a momentary blankness in her head.

It's not that someone stole Esther's ideas, it's just that she's suffering from the fear of doubting her life.

Inside the box is a monocle that seems to be polished with crystal.

Breathing stagnant, memories mixed, Esther felt a chill crawling up her back, the malice of being deceived and teased seemed to lie on top of her head again, unscrupulously mocking her wishful thinking of trying to escape all of this.

Esther turned her head and stared at Aaron: "You are not a member of the Amon family, are you?"

Aaron's eyes were more puzzled than hers: "What stupid things are you talking about, why do you ask this suddenly? Of course I don't! Don't you know my last name? Delasco, Aaron Delasco."

"Alexander, Thomas, Mary, none of their surnames is Amon, right?"

Esther's voice trembled when she asked this question, fearing that the answer would be a smile and the mockery of "you finally found out".

Aaron was very dazed and didn't know why Hamel looked like he was about to pass out: "No, it's not convenient for them to reveal their surnames because they don't want anyone to find out their origins. But I can assure you that we and that Fourth Epoch The 'Stealer' family has nothing to do with it."

Esther looked at the box under her hand, feeling so complicated that she didn't know what to say, she didn't look up to look at Aaron in the end: "Put this here, you go out first, I have to be quiet."

Aaron noticed Hamel's extremely unstable mood, but he didn't know why she was like this, so he accepted this proposal for now, and once again showed his absolute trust in her: "Okay, then I'll go out first, wait for you to calm down Come and talk to me about the follow-up.”

When Aaron walked out of the guest room, he didn't even forget to close the door for Esther.

Esther's hand pressing on the wooden box was even harder. She felt that she had to open it again to take a look at it. She subconsciously held her breath and opened the box lid again.

The monocle is placed on top of the folded layers of soft black satin. The shape has obviously been carefully designed. It is not clipped in the eye socket but hung on the bridge of the nose, with a frame and temples.A thin chain hangs from the side of the silver mirror frame, and at the end of the chain hangs a polished and shiny obsidian, like a crow's eye.

If worn, the lens would be placed in front of the wearer's right eye.

This made Esther feel her eyebrows start to throb again, and she found it difficult to think just by staring at the monocle.Pioneer made a part of the dots of light adhere to it, Esther quickly looked away and closed the lid again, only then did she feel her breathing became smooth again.

That "Queen of Mysteries" really intends to solve me in this way, right?Or did she know Amon?
Esther felt that the whole experience of her boarding the "Clover" began to become unreal. Are the people she saw really her?Or did she step into another trap again, they have all been parasitized by Amon, and the relationship in the past two months has been a scam...

She retrieved her wandering thoughts due to fear in time, and after taking a few deep breaths, Esther calmed down again, leaving the previous trance that made her doubt everything.

She rubbed vigorously on the center of her right eyebrow, and entered the reasoning mentality that a "cryptographer" should have.

After rational thinking, Esther confirmed the "impossible" conclusion.

Amon's body had already appeared, so he wouldn't spend so much trouble again to get a pirate ship to play tricks on him. The "Queen of Mystery" is not low in status, especially the "Card of Blasphemy" in her hand, which is enough to assist her in divination whether Aaron and the others are abnormal.

Esther has met the "Queen of Mysteries". Judging from the lady's attention to Russell Gustav, a senior time traveler, she knows some information about the "other world", including those various Fairy Tale Spells.

This is not equivalent to the information gap shown by Amon, and Amon has never shown interest in Russell, so the "Queen of Mysteries" is probably normal.

So is this monocle a coincidence?Or is it that the "Queen of Mysteries" didn't understand that there was a problem with the "Stealer" approach, but simply obtained this thing and kept it by her side?
That's right, Aaron and the others said that Trier was once the capital of the Tudor Empire in the Fourth Epoch, and the angel family that supported the establishment of the Tudor Empire at that time had the "thief" path, so they encountered a sealed item in this form , is also very possible.

But no matter from which point of view, Esther was deeply disturbed.

It's not like she hasn't seen other people wearing monocles. This is not a very rare decoration in the Northern Continent. Ruen and Intis can be seen everywhere, so she shouldn't be so fussed.

It's just that the psychological shadow is a bit heavy.

Esther grabbed the wooden box, put it on the coffee table, lowered her eyes and sketched the shape of the ball of light in her mind, starting a chaotic state of perception.

She lifted the lid of the box again and looked at the things inside. Esther was relieved that there was no black hole-like silhouette as expected in the worst case.

The outer frame of this pair of glasses is blurry, just ordinary material, but the lens is like a group of translucent worms, most of the worms are distorted, unlike the "worm of time" that Esther has seen "So clear, it doesn't look stable.

On the contrary, this is in line with the chaotic state that a magical item should have. Esther's "spiritual intuition" did not give her any warning feedback. It seems that this item is indeed just an Extraordinary item.

After Esther opened her eyes again and regained her normal vision, she finally took the courage to take the pair of glasses out of the box this time.

She touched the obsidian at the end of the chain, and after a moment gave up on putting it on.

Even knowing that it was not the same monocle, Esther always felt flustered.

If I had known it was such a "scary" shape, I might as well ask the "Queen of Mysteries" to smash it up, leaving only the extraordinary characteristics of the "Parasite", out of sight and out of mind...
