Chapter 149: The results of communication are acceptable
"Hahaha...... Wild 'thieves'? That's as few gamblers as willing to admit that they are out of the woods! Not to mention that you're still a demigod. Banabe pointed at Esther with his gnawed stick, as if he had aimed his gun at her.
Esther didn't care about his malicious little actions: "What's wrong with the demigods?" ”
"The 'thief' path is very, very hidden, and the higher you rise, the tighter the extraordinary properties are controlled, and it is almost impossible to obtain recipes or extraordinary materials from the outside world. The real wild 'thieves' often become members of the Amon family before they can be promoted to demigods. ”
"The Law of Extraordinary Characteristics Aggregation. Amun, after all, is a very bad king of angels, and he has not yet been taboo. ”
Banabe raised his eyebrows: "You know a lot, and you also rely on the 'Destiny Hermit Society' behind it, right?" It's a lot like what that group of people would give. ”
"Sort of." Esther chuckled and replied that she wouldn't be going to the first meeting until June, but there was no need to let Banabe know about it.
Banabe continued to eat the barbecue in her hand and did not speak for a few moments, while Esther turned her gaze to the waves with a gentle expression.
After swallowing the roasted sausage on the last stick, Banabe stuck the stick in his side and poured the wine over it.
He snapped his fingers, and the stick beside him, dipped in wine, immediately burst into flames, providing both a good source of light and heat on the dark sand.
Esther was a little surprised: "Are you always like this?" ”
"What?"
"You can plan anything, from battles and inferences to detailed life ideas."
Esther felt a little unbelievable, and although she could use her brain, it was mostly just a situation where there was something to face. She is still a more casual person at heart, and if she can, she is willing to live a peaceful but busy life forever, and let life itself spin in small fortunes and misfortunes.
It would be too tiring for Esther to calculate and deduce everything, so she always tries to follow her thoughts and go with the flow, rather than making the best use of everything around her after weighing, considering and planning.
Banabe glanced at Esther amusedly: "In the face of absolute strength, the use of scheming is pitiful, and being snatched away by you is a ready-made example." ”
After a pause, he added: "But I realized that if you want to kill me, you can just parasitize it on someone and then use air bullets to sneak attack." ”
Esther looked at Banabe suspiciously, "You seem to be quite familiar with the range of 'parasites'. ”
Banabe roasted his hands by the fire and snapped his fingers in the air:
"Sequence 5, 'Dreamstealer', you have to act accordingly when stealing other people's thoughts, but you didn't start snapping your fingers at the time. This action will take up your hand movements, and it is easy to delay your stealing gestures.
"You later stole two of my extraordinary abilities, so I can tell you directly that you're a Sequence Four 'parasite' and know that you can retain your abilities for two hours. We've dealt with 'thieves' and we've barely managed to get along peacefully because there's no low-level conflict. ”
Esther could tell that the reference to "we" was referring to the forces of the Esoteric Order, not to Banabe itself: "And further up? ”
"You don't know? Unfortunately, I don't know. Banabe laughed rather shyly, "Because 'parasites' need to be extra vigilant in order to have relevant information distributed to marginalized people like me." Otherwise, with my authority, the most I know about the 'Dream Stealer' can steal people's thoughts. ”
"How can you be a marginal person in your mind?" Esther was viscerally puzzled by this, and although she had only been in contact for a long time, she was quite impressed with Barnabe, including his scheming that was completely different from what he did on the surface.
Banabe pretended to be chic and stroked the black broken hair with bangs: "Maybe it's because I'm too smart and handsome, and they're jealous of me." ”
Esther decided to retract what was a compliment, this man was a monkey, and he could climb down the pole with a stick, making people want to punch him down.
She had to bring the topic back to her original purpose, and she couldn't be pulled away from Banabe anymore:
"I want to know how much you know about the history of the Tertiary and even the Second Age, that's what I want to know, I don't care where you know it, I can judge for myself whether it's true or not."
Banabe stared at the fire and thought for a moment before raising his head and pointing to the sea, which was the direction to the east: "I can't answer you in vain, do you know what that weird sea is?" ”
"I know, the relics of the gods." Esther's eyes were slightly dark, "Where the gods have fallen." The pollution caused by the divine power cannot be dispersed by the world, and a continent more distant is cut off, which is also the seal left by the gods. ”
Banabe's eyes gradually widened: "So exciting? Forget it, I'll go find the mermaids of the goddess of the night......"
"I thought your organization would choose to raise mermaids on their own." Esther began to gently shake the hammock again, and she loved the swing-like floating sensation.
"I was promoted at sea without telling others, and I didn't want to stay under their eyes all the time, and they looked at me like watching a fat goose." Banabe turned the empty bottle upside down and shook it twice, and the last bit of alcohol dripped from the mouth of the bottle, causing the flame to burn even more.
He tapped the corner of his forehead with an empty wine bottle, pointing out the regular rhythm: "I originally thought that the risk in that sea area was limited, but if it was really a relic of the Divine War, then forget it, my friend can't count on it." ”
But the corners of Esther's mouth slowly curled, and she rummaged through her satchel, took out the silver night emblem, and showed it to Banabe:
"Why don't you let him take you to the mermaid of the Night Cultist?"
"Are you a member of the Church of the Night?" Banabe's eyes widened, and his guesses about Esther's identity always seemed to be in vain, "I thought you were a member of some evil god organization, and the red cloak on your body is terrifying. ”
This man's thinking is a little too sharp, and the style between words and deeds is too arrogant, where is his friend, and is his friend his enemy?
In response to Esther's suspicious eyes, Banabet immediately explained: "When you open your vision, you can see the shadows on your cloak wriggling, just like a living one, which is very scary. ”
"It's just a gift from an elder." Esther tugged at the edge of the red cloak twice.
"Then your elders must be terrifying, similar to my elders."
Esther smiled and shook her head: "That's probably because my elders are more special." ”
Banabe held up a finger and shook it at Esther: "O vain comparison, woman, pride is the original sin. ”
"Did anyone say you're good for being beaten?"
"Why am I on the fringes?"
Esther's eyes became more and more complicated when she looked at Banabe: "I thought it was just you playing...... Inclined. ”
"It's hard to go far away, and I want to take a good rest as 'myself'." Banabe straightened his back and stretched, fell backwards, and lay directly on the beach, he laughed heartily, "It's good to be no one else." ”
Esther didn't speak for a while, just played with the Night Emblem, and her mood to put an end to these things became more and more intense.
Banabe suddenly sat up again: "Can you really help?" Then I'm going to contact her! ”
"I can't be a believer in the Goddess of the Night, but we can try." Esther didn't say it all.
Banabe didn't care: "It's okay, I can tell the results of my plan to find the mermaid, and the god of luck may bless me." ”
Esther's eyes flickered for a moment: "Where did the god of luck come from, is there anything important?" I have never heard of this god's name. ”
"No, I made it up." Banabe admits frankly, "This statement is a good way to silence the gamblers at the poker table, and in the casinos and at the poker table, few red-eyed people are generally devout." ”
Esther stared at Banabe with strange eyes for a few seconds before she spoke, "I'm going to go to Olavi Island first, my ...... Friends, I'm going over there. ”
"Why did you hesitate when you said 'friends'?"
Hearing Banabe's obviously wicked inquiry, Esther was expressionless: "Because they can also be considered my believers." ”
Banabe's expression suddenly filled with interest: "Oh? Are you still some god or angel? Say it and let me laugh at it. ”
Obviously, he thought that Esther had used a "scam" or something to say something to the other two to trick them into getting more benefits.
This is very much in line with the style of the "thief", and Banabe's idea is very much in line with the conventional impression, he really wants to hear how Esther deceives people, and he is completely in the mindset of watching the show.
It's just that his reaction made Esther even more unhappy: "Why is it a joke!?" ”
"If you really are an angel, then how can I possibly have a chance to fight back? You should be the first to notice the anomaly in me. ”
Esther's face calmed down again: "So, you do have a way to detonate the entire 'Sea Hotel', and my hunch at the time was not wrong. ”
Banabe tugged at the corners of his mouth vigorously, and showed that exaggerated smile, both happy and sad: "When my physical body begins to lose its vitality, my spirit body will explode on the spot. How's that, isn't it amazing? ”
Esther stared at him, and the two did not speak for a long time.
Banabe spread his arms again and lay on the beach in front of the hammock in a "big" shape: "You are very rigid, shouldn't you laugh with me at this time?" ”
"I don't think it's funny," Esther whispered, "and you're sad, I can feel it." ”
"How is it possible, I'm so good now," Banabe spread his hands to the sky, "Can't you see how happy I am?" ”
