Chapter 247 Intersection
Klein opened the cage and let Esther out to have lunch.
It wasn't until Esther swallowed the last bite of fish with satisfaction that Klein straightened his face and told her what had happened before, including his previous conversation with "Zoya".
Esther immediately cursed: "Shit!? That guy woke up!"
Klein's expression clearly twitched: "Don't imitate Daniz! Why do you still have such a similar tone? This is not a good mantra. You should pay attention."
"I'm sorry," Esther said without sincerity, and began to jump up and down on the table irritably, "but, but him, how could he suddenly - I thought there was just something wrong with the voice, so I Passed out suddenly!"
"When we passed by the ruins where the sound came from, Heath also had some reaction. He said there was a body there. I have a guess, maybe it was someone whom Zoya once knew."
Klein did not mention his further speculation that Hiss is the "Rose Bishop" and the god at the top of this sequence is the "True Creator".
According to the myths circulated in Silver City, "Zoya" had an intersection with the "ancient sun god" who also preferred crosses. The true identity of the true god who once fell here is very intriguing.
Skylark opened his mouth, but made no sound, just nodded slowly.
"Do you have any guesses?" Klein noticed the glazed look in Esther's eyes.
"Daribog, yes, maybe it was him. I saw him at that time..."
Klein couldn't help but ask: "Who is Daribog? Have you ever seen anyone who has interacted with 'Zoya'?"
"Probably not a 'person'." Esther said this, her eyes were filled with sadness, and she finally stopped jumping up and down on the table.
"The fallen gods, the war between gods..." Klein's guess in his heart was almost confirmed by Esther. He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, "After so many years, they still left so many powerful things in this sea area." the power of."
Although Esther did not move, her gaze kept looking at the window that was locked by Klein: "I saw Dazhberg in my dream. At that time, the 'Angel of Destiny' was probably just one of his angels. But there was darkness in that dream...I mean the interference of the goddess of the night."
Esther was consciously speechless, and when two "former nighthawks" mentioned this title while chatting, it always made people feel uncomfortable.
Klein was silent for a few seconds and decided to pin his source of information on "The World": "You and my teacher seem to have special blessings. I know part of the history he knows. That is His truth. name?"
I'm blaming myself. It's not a big problem. It's not time to get to know Esther in a tarot class yet. Klein silently added something in his heart.
Skylark's head immediately turned to Klein: "No, that's just the name Zoya calls him. I don't know why there is such a name, and I don't know its meaning. Its pronunciation is the same in Rune or Giant language. It’s hard to pronounce because the original word belongs to a branch of our world’s languages.”
"Our world?" Klein was surprised, but he quickly mobilized his extensive knowledge base when he was a keyboard warrior. "If you say so, there is a title with a similar pronunciation. It seems to come from Slavic mythology..."
Esther immediately raised her tail nervously: "You know? Do you remember more content!"
Unfortunately, Klein shook his head: "I don't know about the rest. There is very little information on Slavic myths and legends. I only saw it twice by chance and didn't remember much of it."
Klein only vaguely remembered that the title seemed to be "Sun God". If his memory was correct and Esther's dream was worthy of belief, then perhaps the Daribog that Esther and "Zoya" knew was It refers to the one whom Silver City believes in - "the Lord who created everything" and "the omniscient and omnipotent God".
Esther's tail gradually drooped, and she fell down on the table. The whole skylark showed a decadent temperament: "This kind of thing seems messy in the game plot. Every time it encounters a clue, it will be broken. People will accuse me of doing it with excrement!"
"Um……"
Klein responded vaguely. He was not good at memorizing sequences. If he were a "generalist" like Russell, he might be able to recall a large amount of information that he casually glanced at in his previous life.
But what Klein is thinking more about is the origin of this title. Of course he knows who the "Angel of Destiny" once served. If he thinks about it in this way...
He couldn't help but doubt the identity of the "ancient sun god". Could it be that he was another time traveler who made his fortune in another world? Even from a different country than them!
The contact between "Zoya" and the other party is even more unlikely to be a coincidence, and the fairy tale about a skylark holding a ring becomes suspicious at every turn.
Skylark is not "loyal", it is more likely that the two parties have reached some kind of deal, so Skylark is not included in the holy book circulated in Silver City, because "Zoya" does not want his existence to be discovered.
On the other side, Esther saw Klein fell into silence and misunderstood Klein's hesitant attitude, thinking that the casual complaint just now made him feel depressed.
Esther quickly spoke again: "I'm not blaming you for not remembering those things! I just feel worried that 'Zoya' has left a lot of trouble, but we can't find a way to contain it."
Klein shook his head: "He was not in a good condition. He didn't even use any extraordinary power when I caught him. He could have had many ways to escape, whether it was to escape from the parasitic state of Skylark or directly steal my Thoughts are more reasonable choices..."
"Maybe it's because of a conflict. The special projection he talked about, according to what I've learned before, is probably a monocle."
Klein's movements froze: "Is this why you occasionally rub the center of your right eyebrow?"
"That's been confirmed...but I don't even know how to clear it."
Many ideas flashed through Klein's mind, including what he could do from the gray fog.
Even if Esther prayed to "The Fool", it was useless. The ball of light almost blocked all the situations in her reality. It can only transmit sounds, or use spiritual energy to directly import other images, and there is no way to see Esther's condition.
"But the other party can't find you through this."
Yunque laughed dryly: "Haha, maybe I have to thank 'Zoya' for suppressing me."
Both of them were silent, and no one spoke for a while, each thinking about the strangeness of this matter and what "Zoya" said.
In the end, Esther flapped her wings and said to Klein: "If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it. There is no result anyway. The boat will naturally straighten out when it reaches the bridge. I will write this down first."
This is too blindly optimistic. Klein sighed in his heart, but he didn't have any solution to the actual problem.
"Aren't you worried that 'Zoya' will do it again..." Klein only said half of what he said before closing his mouth again.
Skylark smiled and shook his head at him, but there was regret and helplessness in his eyes. It was completely different from when "Zoya" controlled the body. Esther would reveal vivid emotional changes at all times:
"He didn't hurt you, and he didn't even hurt the ship much, so that reduces my worries by half."
Esther turned her head and looked out the window again. The golden sunlight was always at its strongest, burning endlessly in this sea area.
Skylark took a deep breath:
"If you can't get rid of Him, then at least 'He' won't bring disaster to others at will. This is better than I expected."
Klein leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and also looked at the other side of Esther's line of sight: "Really?"
"I didn't know what to do, so I started to accept the situation."
Esther's voice sounded gentle, but Klein did not reply.
——
"Star Admiral" Cattleya's magically amplified voice echoed on the ship, announcing that the "Future" would dock at an island not far away and wait for the coming storm to pass.
She even explained that after the change of noon and night in this ocean, a storm may occur at any time. It is not an emergency, but it needs to be temporarily avoided to prevent the "Future" from encountering a crisis when it suddenly comes.
The "Future" stopped on the leeward side of the primitive island. Not long after, a storm that lasted for more than ten minutes suddenly fell.
The hurricane rolled across the sea, forming a huge pillar between heaven and earth, raging and dancing with white lightning, like a carnival of disaster.
The rain keeps pounding outside the "Future", and anyone listening to the roaring thunder will feel instinctive fear.
"What a disgusting feeling." Esther said softly.
Because Klein didn't shut the skylark back, Esther flew to the window and looked worriedly at the roaring sky and huge waves outside: "I quite like heavy rains."
Klein didn't say anything. He counted the guns, bullets and Poseidon charms on his body, and was ready for battle at any time.
He has always followed the rule of acting that he summed up: "Magicians do not perform without preparation."
When the storm subsided and the sun became the most dazzling subject in this sea area, Cattleya's voice announcing to the whole ship sounded again:
"You can go to the island for some activities, but you cannot go deeper. You must be within the range of artillery."
Both Klein and Esther were somewhat moved.
"Shall we also go outside and take a look?" Esther asked, pointing to the cage, "Or should I continue to stay inside?"
Klein hesitated for just a moment before throwing the question back to Esther: "You can decide for yourself. I'll go to the beach to take a look."
"With you stopping me, it shouldn't be that bad. I don't want to go in there." Esther muttered in a low voice, landing on Klein's shoulder.
"Don't go too far. I'm not a professional bird hunter."
Skylark kept mumbling on his shoulder:
"You can take a branch, use it to put the top hat on, tie a rope to the branch, and then put some desserts underneath..."
