Chapter Eighty-Nine: Packing Friends
Crane didn't think much about it, and immediately opened the satchel, but before he could put his hand inside, a chuckle came from inside.
Klein stiffened at first, and then recognized the gentle and clear female voice, and he shook his satchel twice helplessly: "Great musician Hamel, did you send yourself from the courier?" β
A lark with unkempt feathers squeezed its head out of the edge of the satchel, and the feathers above its head still radiated a spiritual brilliance, and Esther's voice came from the bird's open and closed sharp beak:
"Surprised!?"
"......" Klein maintained a rather Gelmanian silence.
The lark jumped out of the satchel and landed next to the black puppy, jumping around on the ground, and spreading his weak wings with a white bony bulge: "Look! I can parasitize a lot of creatures now, even if I don't have the Faceling's ability to change height! β
Why are you still remembering this matter, and you are holding a grudge so much in a very useless way? Klein no longer deliberately held back his inner thoughts, and immediately laughed:
"I'm surprised, I didn't expect you to be able to come this way."
The lark flapped the puppy's paw with its wings, and with its size it could only touch this position: "It was it who brought me here!" It's more than willing to help. β
The puppy puffed up his chest and flicked his tail proudly, and Klein immediately followed Esther's tone and praised twice: "Great job." β
But before the puppy could pounce on Klein's leg again, its figure suddenly vanished and gradually dissipated into the air.
The lark smacked his lips: "Except for the first time when I signed the contract, every time I saw it, it was such an illusion." It's a very good little guy, and it knows how to protect itself. β
As soon as Klein stretched out his hand, the lark flew up his arm very consciously, and Klein couldn't help but complain to himself: "Okay, now in addition to the soothsayer, clown, and magician, I can also work part-time as a beast trainer......"
The lark blinked, nodded solemnly, and said, "Is the 'one-man' circus formed, or are you going to give it some other name?" β
Klein was led astray, and even thought about it seriously, after he was promoted to the master of the secret puppet, this circus may be far more than one person, and this name may not be so appropriate.
He picked up the satchel that Esther had thrown on the ground and hung it on the coat rack by the door of the guest room: "I'm just saying that, I can't let you perform the fire ring." β
"Why not, it's simple, I'm so skilled at flying that I can even make a cameo appearance as an owl as a messenger!" Esther circled twice in the not-so-wide room and rested lightly on her desk.
"This is the special ability of the 'parasite'...... But why are your wings bald? β
Esther spread the lark's wings, allowing Crane to get a closer look at the white knuckle, "I've got the special item in my spirit!" It's easier to carry, but it turns out to be such a strange exterior feature. β
"Is it the 'Pale Bone Nail' you talked about, which seems to have something to do with necromantic powers?"
Of course, Klein remembered the "new weapon" mentioned in Esther's letter, and he even had the idea of having Mr. Azik inspect the dangerous object, but it was Esther's item after all, and he had no choice but to abandon the idea.
"Yes, it's the bone sword." The lark shook the upturned feathers above his head, and the shimmer that had fluctuated as he crossed the spirit realm gradually converged, leaving only a pale cinnamon yellow similar to Esther's hair.
Klein hesitated: "So you're going to stay like this?" β
"Well, wait a minute."
The lark shook its head vigorously like a flipped water dog, and several points of light fell from its feathers, quickly merging into the house.
Klein clearly sensed that inside his spiritual wall, another invisible barrier had unfolded, and the essence of this layer of protection was even interconnected with the spirit world, and he could vaguely feel the extremely high personality.
After arranging the means of isolation, the lark's wings struck twice in the air: "It is inconvenient for me to use human activity frequently, and the parasitic form is better to hide." There are Amun everywhere! I also saw His doppelganger in Intis. β
Klein was shocked: "He caught up with you?" β
"The situation of that doppelganger is not very good, and the parasitic person is also on the verge of losing control, which can be regarded as being solved." Esther shrugged off the story of what happened.
Klein couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "That's good, extraordinary properties have the law of aggregation, and you may be more likely to encounter them." Caution is what it should be. β
Esther nodded: "But with Amon's cunning, there will inevitably be more clones to search for clues." Meeting you is a good opportunity for me to get away from Intis, so I'll let Amun play on his own. β
The lark that could be held with a slap jumped forward twice and shook his head at Klein: "I don't have to be parasitic, it's just that I'm more comfortable in this situation." β
Klein also knew a lot about Esther, and he cleared his throat amusedly: "Well, because you can fly? β
Esther laughed dryly: "Haha, but it feels really handsome to be able to fly on your own!" β
Klein wasn't going to ask too much about this matter, seeing that the fellow was so happy, he wouldn't pour cold water on her while she enjoyed the joy of her new abilities:
"Well, I can't feel the joy of birds. I'm going to ask you for that very important thing, can you still 'steal' in this state? β
"Of course! Leave it to me! Esther replied cheerfully.
Esther didn't notice that while staying by Crane's side, her previously apathetic mood began to turn around, gradually returning to a stable and gentle state.
And Klein was completely unaware of the change.
He took out the cigarette case sealed with the Eyes of All Black: "Is the stolen pollution to be transferred?" What do you need to prepare? β
"I have a unique way of dealing with it, so you don't have to worry about that."
Esther sounded confident, and Klein, of course, trusted her, so he immediately opened the iron cigarette case, revealing a completely black eyeball with no pupils inside, and placed the open cigarette case on the table.
The lark jumped to the side, stretched out his right wings and flapped on the cigarette case, and the moment the wings were raised, a black smoke emitting filth and malice rolled up from below.
The lark's next action caught Klein before he could react, and he didn't have time to stop itβit decisively probed and sucked the piece of pollution that emitted an iron-black light into its mouth, swallowing it all.
"Ai, Esther!?"
The lark's body swayed back and forth twice, and Crane quickly reached out and caught the bird before it fell completely to the edge of the desk.
Chaotic whispers filled her mind, grief and hatred washed over Esther's consciousness, but it did not shake her reason in the slightest, but Esther's control of her body became dull, she listened to the voice, and faintly heard a cry of pain.
The voice that shouted "Zoya" seemed to cut through the dark curtain and stared at her for a moment, thrusting a name into Esther's mind.
The few tufts of feathers on the top of the lark's head shimmered again, and it took more than ten seconds for it to regain its composure.
The bird, which was lighter than an orange, slowly stood up and hiccuped quietly.
Klein wasn't sure if Esther was okay for a moment, but before he could make any further moves, the lark had recovered and flapped its wings and landed on his shoulder.
"Alright, you put that thing away. Is it the extraordinary trait you want to use for promotion? β
The reason why Esther asked this was because there was a sour and appetizing taste on the black eyeballs, which was constantly attracting her.
"Yes." Klein replied.
The lark picked up the feathers on his wings and deliberately looked away: "It smells delicious." β
Klein's action of putting away the "All Black Eyes" suddenly became much faster, and he changed to a very serious tone: "You must not eat extraordinary characteristics indiscriminately, you will go crazy!" Even adjacent pathways are at great risk! β
Esther stared at the iron cigarette case in Klein's hand, "I know I know, I'm not that impulsive, I can restrain myself." β
Crane decided to go to the bathroom and sacrifice the "Eyes of All Black" to the gray mist as soon as possible, and the longing look in the Skylark as he stared at the extraordinary properties made him subconsciously feel uncomfortable.
"So what's next for you? Do you want to stay in Nas? β
Klein walked to the window, and the lark flew down to the closed window, standing on the bulge of the window.
The temperature was warm because of the burning fireplace, but Esther could feel the chill outside the window, and she looked curiously at the large white stone houses outside, smacking her lips at the architectural style she had never seen before.
"I don't have any plans," Esther replied to Klein's question, "and if I had to say, I'd love to ......."
The voice behind her became quieter and quieter, and for some reason it gradually fell silent, Klein had to ask out loud, "Do you have a place you want to go?" β
The lark gently scraped the window with his paws: "Yes, I think there are some answers in that place, which can answer my doubts, and I want to know more about 'Zoya'." β
A guess popped up in Klein's mind, where is the most likely place related to the history of "Zoya"? There is only God's Forsaken Land in contrast to the history of the Tertiary Age!
However, he has not coordinated the identities of "world" and "Klein", and the information at the tarot meeting cannot be directly presented, which is easy to arouse Esther's suspicions. Even if she knew the place she was referring to, she couldn't suddenly say it.
"If it's related to 'Zoya', it might be very dangerous. Do you have plans to go there? β
Esther shook her head slowly, looking at Klein with a slightly blank gaze: "I don't know how to get to that place, I need more information." Can I follow you before then? β
"Absolutely." Crane smiled.
"Hey, the crazy adventurer directly changed his career to walk the bird." Esther flapped her wings twice with delight.
If it weren't for the Joker's stable ability, Klein's smile might not be able to hang up: "This is called contrast, and it can also be a part of the play." β
