"In addition to Darzyborg, there are two other beings I want to know about, I already know about Huls, but there is another name, Halls-"

Before Esther's question could be finished, the dream world suddenly became violently turbulent.

The points of light floating in the air suddenly tumbled violently, and Esther was in the center of the vortex, surrounded by them, and layers of black veil fell down, burying her completely underneath.

The dream gradually gained substance, and the invisible pressure of increasing weight squeezed on her, and just when Esther thought that she would be erased by the goddess of the night, the anomaly returned to peace.

The black veil was raised, but the light was still wrapped around Esther, making her look like a glowing light bulb.

"What happened just now, just now?"

If it weren't for the dream, Esther would have noticed her heart beating wildly, because her mental and physical instability was not very stable, and the dream in front of her was beginning to blur.

At Esther's feet, the nightvanilla and the deep sleep flower hung low on the ground, nearly withering, their colors fading into the darkness and losing their original shape.

The Night Goddess's voice became much colder, and Esther could hear her displeasure: "Someone is trying to invade your dreams. Saying that name without protection will attract attention, and you need to be careful. ”

Esther's mind froze, "Whatever is said, it will be known", and she suddenly understood who the opposite of Huls was, another son of God besides Amun, the "Fantasy Angel".

"What about Chernobog?" Esther asked, seizing the time before the dream was fully awakened.

"We still don't know exactly what happened to him, and on the day of the cataclysm, he sealed himself in the court of the giants, and there was no news again."

The points of light around Esther detached from her, anxiously penetrating her gradually illusory and floating body: "Also, you were really-"

“…… Yes, Esther, in the Third Age we were all part of the Rose of Redemption and planned it together. ”

It wasn't like reminiscing about the past, more like sighing for something that had dissipated.

Esther's perception paused for a moment in the darkness before she opened her eyes from the hammock, the scene swaying as the ship jolted.

Because of the exertion, the Night Sacred Emblem made a red mark in her palm.

At least now I know who Hall is, Esther comforted herself.

The gloom of learning of Darriborg's death still haunted her, and she couldn't tell whether it was her own loss or Zoya's grief, as if it was a thorn that grew wildly around the stele, gradually covering the name on it.

Esther stared at the crimson moonlight from the window, her fingers circling around the emblem until the sunlight poured through the outer side of the dark cabin.

——

The Whalebone wasn't really a pirate ship, as Esther knew from the salvage equipment it was equipped with.

When Ksenia enthusiastically showed her and Matteo, she was introduced to the basic configuration of the ship, and in fact the main work done by the "Whalebone" was to cruise.

Employed by several major companies, she is responsible for monitoring whale populations in the Moby Dick Sea every year. If the company's whaling ship encounters an accident, the "Whalebone" will also quickly go to participate in the rescue operation, and the ship is equipped with a special wireless telegraph for this purpose.

"We're not alone, of course, as far as I know of at least four ships about the size of us, dedicated to this in the Moby Dick Sea. We will also submit reports to those who are interested in whaling activities in the appropriate waters. ”

Ksenia looked unhappy when she said this, and it was obvious that she didn't like the errand very much.

Barney followed a few others, but compared to Esther's coziness and Matteo's indifference, Barney would occasionally show a worried look, but when he spoke, the gloom of his constant thoughts was replaced by a pompous smile.

Esther didn't convince Barney, she could see that this person was the type who didn't like to be "cared for" by others, and with the assurances made by the goddess of the night, Esther didn't think there would be many surprises on this trip.

As soon as Esther boarded the ship, she resumed her habit of staying in the bow or stern of the ship, staring blankly at the flow of the sea, for which Barney laughed at her and asked Esther if she wanted to carve herself into the ship's bow.

Ksenia then angrily reprimanded Barney.

Barney was very puzzled by this: "Obviously, I have known you for a longer time, we are friends!" ”

Ksenia replied with a sense of pity: "Because Esther looks like my grandmother, do you have any opinion?" ”

Esther's heart moved: "Ksenia, your grandmother is from Sunia Island?" ”

Ksenia nodded: "Because my parents often go to sea, I lived with her on Sunia Island when I was a child, and there are only a few people there, who retain the appearance and characteristics of the legendary elves. Including my dark eyes, they are exactly the same as my father, very special, right? ”

Esther smiled and nodded, "Yes, it looks very kind." ”

If she hadn't been going to Byam, she would have to go back to Rune in June to attend the "Hermit of Destiny" party, and Esther would have the urge to go to Sunia Island to have a look.

She knew a lot of rumors about the elves at sea, but no one knew exactly where they came from.

——

In the early morning of the fifth day, the "Whalebone" approached a cloudy sea.

Esther ran to the bow of the ship again to look out at the sea, and a faint mist drifted in all directions, blocking the sunlight from the sky, causing the visibility here to drop rapidly, and the "Whalebone" had to slow down.

Barney also came to the deck, and after stretching, she leaned against the fence: "It's not a good weather." ”

Esther moved her wrist, and when she came out, she didn't have the red cloak with her: "Compared to the storm, this kind of weather is still within the tolerance range." ”

"You know that's not what I'm talking about." Barney rolled her eyes without figuring it, her eyes scanning over the strange mist.

Esther nodded lightly, and shook her finger at the thickest, deep, almost dark place not far away: "Is it possible that the other party has already come?" ”

Barney subconsciously turned around, alertly reaching into the tuxedo pocket, frowning and staring in the direction of Esther's finger.

Soon, Barney realized that Esther was right, and the darkness in the depths of the fog grew thicker and thicker, surging and tumbling over her.

A pale, blurry face emerged from the mist, but only the face embedded in the tumbling black fog emerged.

It must have been a lady, her eyebrows were sparse and almost invisible, there was a tear mole under each eye, the bridge of her nose was high and slightly hooked, and her pale complexion made her already thin face look even more sickly.

The light green eyes on that face didn't have much emotion, and it felt as if they were peeking into a peaceful and silent night.

Ksenia flew straight out of the window of the captain's quarters, the wind winding around her, allowing her to go straight to the bow of the ship. Ksenia landed right between Esther and Barney, and she stepped forward to protect them behind her.

Ksenia didn't have much confidence in her heart, as you could see from the sweat oozing from her sideburns.

In this regard, Barney is the same, the strange way of the other party's appearance is beyond his occult knowledge reserves.

Esther, however, felt a certain familiarity in the other party, an extraordinary power similar to that of the goddess of the night, and even though she did not know the other party, she would subconsciously feel a little familiar.

Unhurriedly, Esther pulled out the Night Emblem from her satchel and raised her arm high and shook it twice so that the lady across from her could notice what she was holding.

The darkness around the face gradually converged, condensing into a physical form, revealing the lady's gothic dress and dark and brown bun coiled over her head, and she had no color all over her body except for the white sleeping flowers on the side of the bun.

Under the pair of black high heels, there was a huge jellyfish condensed by smoke, the gray-white jellyfish was quite illusory, and it was obvious that it was an inspired spirit.

Her right hand, wrapped in a long black lace glove, was spread out in Esther's direction, and it was obvious that the lady was asking her for the badge.

Esther weighed the weight of the Night Emblem, estimated the distance, and threw the Emblem out with enough force.

The lady's eyes dilated slightly, and the jellyfish beneath her body raised its misty tentacles to catch what had been thrown at her.

Barney took two steps in Esther's direction and lowered her voice: "I think it's similar to you......"

He didn't say it all, obviously worried that the other party was listening, but Esther knew what he was referring to, "demigod".

This extraordinary person of the Night Church, who guards the mermaid, at least has the power of a "demigod".

Esther smiled casually at Barney, "Don't worry. ”

The lady took the badge that the jellyfish handed to her, and held it in both hands, and as the swimming darkness floated from her palm, the badge emitted a gentle silver glow, and an illusory black veil floated.

She looked a little surprised, then smiled again, and the jellyfish moved some distance in the direction of the Whalebone. Those ordinary crew members couldn't see the spirit, they could only see the lady floating in the air, and they couldn't help but get even more nervous.

The lady in the gothic dress lifted the emblem of the night with both hands, and a thin snake with wings emerged from her glove, picked up the badge in her mouth, and flew towards Esther, who was standing at the bow of the ship.

Then she bowed deeply to Esther:

"'The Hidden Goddess' Christa, the one who has seen the gods, the 'Star of the Goddess'."

The corners of Esther's eyes twitched violently.

How did she not know about this!? Why didn't anyone inform her! Where did the "goddess star" come from!

Barney next to her turned her head in surprise, glared at Esther, and silently outlined the other party's title - "Divine Favorer" with her mouth.

Esther took the emblem that had been given by the flying snake and indifferently stuffed it back into her satchel.

Fortunately, her skin is much thicker than before, and her expression management ability is improving day by day, otherwise her face would have been red by this time.
