To Esther's relief, Anderson didn't have time to speak again before the dream ended, and she flew off the armrest of her easy chair and landed on the empty ground, looking around in a depressed voice.

Then she found her goal, and Esther flew to the mural of Ulorius, looking up at the angel and lark in the painting.

"It's a weird feeling like you're looking at yourself." Esther muttered softly.

The lark's eyes are closed and lifeless, and Esther is not sure if this represents the reality of "Zoya", or if he is not paying attention to the situation.

Suddenly, a ripple appeared on the mural, and Esther flew backwards for some distance, without seeing anything coming out of it.

But the mural has changed a little, the "Angel of Destiny", who originally closed his eyes, opened his eyes at this moment, and there was no emotion in his peaceful eyes, but he looked straight from the mural and stared at the lark.

Ulorius ......

Asther flew back a distance, and round and round wheels spread out from her feathers, encircling her, beware of any change in the mural, and the "Tail Eater" suddenly struck.

But Esther's prediction did not come true, and the portrait of Ulorius only showed a smile so faint that it was almost impossible to see, and then closed her eyes again.

The ripples returned to calm.

The lark fell to the ground in a daze, Esther felt no malice, and to be honest, Ulorius's attitude was as if he had come to say hello and did nothing.

Esther flicked her wings, and if Ulorius had left bad luck on her, she couldn't have been unaware.

"It's weirder." The lark muttered discontentedly, crouching in the corner of the hall, helplessly waiting for the next opportunity for the people of the Future to enter the dream.

A moment later, Esther suddenly remembered that she had overlooked something very important.

That's right, time!

Esther had been delayed in this endless dream for so long that she had no idea what day it was, let alone what day of the week it was.

There were so many things that happened when she met Klein before, and Est didn't even ask, and she couldn't help but feel a burst of anxiety at this time.

It's over, what will Tarot do? I won't be absent and not ask for leave, will Mr. "Fool" be angry!

I don't know if it will be useful to pray to Mr. "Fool" in my dream, after all, this place is quite special, try it first.

Esther calmed down and silently recited the three-stage name of the "Fool":

"O fool who does not belong to this age;

"You are the mysterious lord above the gray mist;

"You are the king of yellow and black who rules good fortune;

"Your faithful pray to you and ask you to listen,

"I'm in isolation and won't be able to attend the next Tarot ......"

After making a leave of absence to the "fool", Esther was still apprehensive, for she was not sure if the prayer would reach the outside world.

But after a few minutes, the light fell in front of Esther's eyes, and the humming sound was encircled, and the phantom sitting at the bronze table became indistinct.

The "fool" crossed his hands in front of him and bowed his head leisurely:

"I see."

"If you are in danger, you may recite my name."

Prayers can still be delivered!

The "Fool" was even willing to help, and Esther did not expect such an unexpected gain.

This pleased her, and Esther did not suppress her cheerful mood, and the lark rose into the air, hovering excitedly between the two rows of stone pillars that held up the hall.

——

As soon as Klein opened his eyes from the dream, he quickly got up and walked to the table.

He watched closely, and the caged lark was still sleeping, breathing smoothly and steadily, and it didn't look unusual on the surface.

Crane first opened the cage door and gently touched the lark's head, the soft feathers pressed under his fingers, and the lark did not react to his touch.

Crane withdrew his hand, stared at the lark for a few seconds before locking the cage door, reflexively grabbing Esther's satchel and quickly pulling out the blood-stained circle.

Lift the lid and it's empty.

"It's better for me to fill in the light than ordinary creatures", "Create some kind of clone", Esther's words once came to Klein's mind, and he breathed a heavy sigh of relief and took a half-step back.

Obviously sitting on the chair, Crane's center of gravity kept sinking.

Zoya ......

Esther didn't know anything about it in her dreams, and she still thought she was just asleep, sleeping deep in her dreams and not waking up.

Because it was Esther who entered the dream world, "Zoya" who remained in the real world gained control of her body. So my encounter with Esther in the dream was also the control that "Zoya" took to deceive me? Or was it just a mistake?

But for "Zoya", as long as I don't find it in the first place, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find any trace of the lark.

Klein smiled bitterly in his heart, not ruling out that it was the overly metaphysical factor of "luck", Esther wanted to find him, so he accidentally ran to his side while shuttling through the dream.

Will Onsetin, as the "Serpent of Mercury", once showed the ability to control dreams, so by analogy, Ulorius, as the king of angels, may also have related powers.

"Zoya", who is also a "fate" path but has an unknown sequence and is very jealous of Will, can it also be ......

Crane's expression froze suddenly, and although he knew that this was rude, he quickly flipped through the contents of Esther's satchel.

Sure enough, the Night Emblem was gone.

Klein didn't know what to think of it for a moment.

"Zoya" was so bold that he used the emblem containing the power of "sleep" to suppress Esther's consciousness, and he didn't care that the goddess was aware and cast his gaze?

Esther was locked behind the Charnis Gate during her time in Tingen, but the night watchman only accepted her, did not enforce her movements, and she was allowed to enter and exit.

Is that possible, the goddess has cast her gaze since then......

Crane felt a chill in his heart, and if this line of thought continued to expand, it was likely to be disrespectful to the goddess of the night.

However, "Zoya" has always involved the existence of angels and even true gods, and it is difficult for Klein to say that he is surprised, but he is worried about Esther's situation.

Not dominating at all, with Esther's promotion, "Zoya" has increased his control over her, but it is impossible for Ester to give up the promotion, and she will also face more and more threats.

Crane let out a long sigh and wondered how to relay this to Esther, hoping that the next chance to fall asleep would come sooner.

At that moment, a prayer with a harmonious voice suddenly sounded in his ears, the voice was faint and faint and unrecognizable.

Klein immediately went to the bathroom, made preparations, and then walked four steps backwards, climbing the gray fog to check.

To his surprise, the vague prayer came from a ball of light.

The prayers of the villagers are so clear that you can hear her voice even if you don't climb into the gray fog.

Crane tapped the shell of the ball of light in his hand, and although the prayer was loud, it was still mixed with a humming harmony.

Klein guessed that it was because Esther was still in the dream world, and her prayers could only be transmitted through the barrier between the dream world and reality, so it would be affected, but at least Esther's connection with the gray fog was not completely broken......

After listening to Esther's request for leave for the next tarot meeting, Klein immediately replied, and added a special sentence:

"If you are in danger, you may recite my name."

If he could interfere with Zoya's control over Esther through the Fool, he might be able to help Esther.

——

The "Future" passed through the sea strewn with ruins, and ushered in another dark night.

When Anderson Hood opened his eyes, he was still in a hall with a dome full of murals.

Anderson noticed the lark that had landed in front of him, but the bird's eyes were full of disgust, and they were completely undisguised.

"Hey, you're still here," Anderson greeted, "you won't be waiting for me all the time, will you?" So considerate? ”

"Phew, I'm not waiting for you! I'm waiting for you to enter the dream so I can find Gelman! He's my friend. The lark jumped twice on the ground in annoyance.

Anderson imagined the easy chair again, sat on it, and leaned lazily back in the chair: "Then you might as well just wait here, maybe he'll come in at some point, he's always walking around in his dreams." ”

The lark rolled his eyes at Anderson and stretched out his wings: "Don't worry, I'll go." ”

"So decisive? If you leave now, you might not be able to touch it. Anderson said casually, admiring the murals in the dome.

As soon as the lark flew up and down, he kicked Anderson's right arm off the armrest, forcing him to give himself a place to stay.

Anderson touched his arm blankly, he actually felt pain in his dream just now: "Hey, didn't you say you wanted to go!" ”

"If you hadn't said that, I'd have gone."

Esther was also helpless about the current situation, she didn't want to stay here because she didn't want to listen to Anderson's crow's mouth, and he just said something that worried Esther.

But Anderson was not as afraid of the lark as he was of Gelman, but was curious and enthusiastic about the response given to him, trying to find out what was going on with this "extraordinary creature".

Anderson laughed twice: "Anyway, there is nothing to do in this dream, and the act of exploring the depths of this monastery is too dangerous, and I don't recommend you to go inside." ”

"What's in there?"

Anderson shook his head: "I don't know either. Gelman had opened the door from the depths of the hall before, but his position was not fixed each time he entered the dream. ”

The lark looked into the depths in distress: "If only Gelman could really come out directly." ”

"Don't be hopeful, I've seen the door open automatically, but no one has come out. Maybe the next one to come out will be—"

Esther interrupted Anderson loudly, "I beg you to stop talking!" ”

"Bang dang!"

Suddenly, the door opened from the depths of the hall.
