Benjamin's face was full of helplessness, and he walked towards the two men, but Esther stood still, holding the rabbit behind her, and her hair began to glow slightly.

Benjamin didn't make any threatening moves, just grabbed a cookie from his plate and took a very reserved bite: "I have to say, this cookie is too sweet than I thought, Tingen is better." But you seem to like it, and you accept this little gift from me, so don't be so hostile. ”

He took the biscuit in his mouth, smiled gently and politely at Esther, and walked briskly out of the room.

Esther's expression had always been indifferent, and the next moment Benjamin stepped out of the room, spots of light scattered over her head, quickly sifting through the room, including rabbits of unknown origin.

The rabbit looked confused and surprised at the glowing light piercing through his body, and he watched the chaotic swirling points of light until they all returned to Esther's head.

"This is ......" As soon as the rabbit sighed, he immediately closed his mouth, it was obvious that this was also Esther's special ability, and he felt that he had an obligation to help the other party keep it a secret.

Benjamin departed without leaving a hand in the house, but as if confirming his purpose, he had a serious talk with Esther and extended an invitation.

But what's wrong with him going with things? Got used to stealing?

"It's okay." Esther patted the rabbit on the back, but she didn't want to sit on the couch anymore, and she didn't want to touch the easy chair, "He's gone." ”

The rabbit nodded understandingly, and then another spirit: "Wait, he has been hiding in my body just now?" Wouldn't I be dangerous to you? ”

The anger in Esther's heart gradually subsided, and she smiled, "No, we can rest assured now." ”

The rabbit sat back on the sofa in confusion and rubbed his stomach twice: "It's good if there is no danger......"

Esther had left a spot of light around the room, but instead of going back to her room, she sat down at her desk and pulled out a pen and paper: "I'm going to write a letter to a friend, can you wait a while?" ”

The rabbit nodded, but he didn't stay quiet for long, picking up the biscuit he had eaten earlier and taking a big bite on it.

Esther watched the scene out of the corner of her eye, slightly relieved, and she held her pen and asked Klein about the Tarot meeting with careful wording—especially why he needed "psychological counseling".

Halfway through the letter, the clearer the words of the "fool" rang out in my ears, "if any of you need it."

Esther's hand on the pen grew tighter and tighter, and she always had an inexplicable premonition that the "Fool" was looking through the gray fog.

Such a simple hunch should not be ignored, wait. Esther glanced at the rabbit who was flipped through the magazines and stopped only at the illustrations. Once the boy had settled in Pritzport and had attended the meeting with Benjamin, he could go to Beckland to meet "Norns" and "Dawn Dantès......

I don't need to bother the "fool", I can meet directly with Miss "Justice" offline.

——

Just as Crane had thought, he soon received a letter from the black puppy, and the puppy with a wicked red glow in his eye sockets lay at his feet, obediently waiting for Crane to finish writing a brief reply.

The lark flew over the shelf again, stopped on the table, and jumped past the letter, stepping on the undried handwriting on it, leaving a few faint paw prints.

"Oh? Is there something you want to tell her? Klein knew that the bird was very intelligent and could understand most of what he was saying, and that it seemed to have a clearer idea as it spent more time away from Esther.

This trait reminds Klein of his treatment with the Nightmare Candle, but it is clear that "Nornes" does not appear to have a split personality, or that it seems to be similar to Esther but not the same.

And Esther's head is full of such half-real and half-imaginary substances...... The thought that they might be "alive" or even able to communicate with others gives Klein a creep.

The lark heard Klein's words, but only jumped to the other side, and smacked twice on the letter sent by Esther, and then the cocked tail hung down in disappointment.

"I see, you want to see her? Then I put this question on the letter paper as well, and asked her when she would come to Beckland. Crane said with a smile, but the lark only whispered at him twice, and crouched down next to him, waiting for Crane to continue writing his reply.

In the letter, Crane replied to the question of his battle with the "split personality", and reminded Esther to be wary of all kinds of pollution, but the thought that Esther had lived behind Chanis Gate for a while made Klein think that he was too worried.

Esther has a strange ability to withstand this.

However, Klein still spoke conclusively and persuaded Esther to also make an appointment for a "psychological consultation", so that the "fool" could give shelter to the two of them above the gray fog, not only to protect Esther, but also to protect "justice".

After all, the only one who can suppress Zoya is the "Fool", but about this particularity, Klein can only vaguely mention it, and it is inconvenient to explain it to Esther.

Eventually, Klein added a few more lines:

"Nornes is still very well-behaved, and to be honest, it's not like a normal bird. The lady who taught me the dance even praised it because she loved to chirp to the music and was so impressed.

"It seems to miss you a little bit and actively leaves its 'handwriting'. When your business is over, you will be welcome to my mansion and it will be very happy. Of course, so did I. ”

Klein quickly went through the written letter, and there was no need to sign the letter, and Esther would know who wrote to her. Just as Klein was about to fold the letter, the lark chirped anxiously.

Klein suddenly stopped what he was doing: "What's wrong?" ”

The lark shook its wings twice vigorously, and jumped up and down and in a hurry, pointing at Klein and then at himself, and then flapping its wings on its chest.

The next moment, it opened its mouth and let out a very harsh and high-pitched song from its throat, mixed with a tinnitus-like noise: "Coax-"

"Shhh Don't learn Alger to sing here! Klein quickly reached out and covered the lark's head, he was so frightened that he was about to break out in a cold sweat, of course, maybe he was stimulated by the terrible singing.

For those who do not have extraordinary abilities and spiritual amplification, this singing will directly have a spiritual impact effect, and there are many ordinary servants in this house, and of course Klein is nervous.

Nornes seems to be getting harder and harder to raise, and he wants to take back the phrase "very well-behaved"!

When Crane and "The Hanged Man" Alger Wilson went on an adventure to the pristine island in the sea, Nornes sneaked into his pocket and hid in Klein, dressed as Gelman Sparrow.

And what made Klein feel strange afterwards was that he didn't even notice it at the time. It wasn't until Alger started singing that the lark popped out and ......

And then it learns some kind of "new skill".

That's when Klein realized that Nornes could "speak."

It's just that it doesn't have a complete language system, and it can't remember ordinary communicative terms, but if it's a language or sound with extraordinary power, it can imitate it, but the voice of retelling will always be distorted in the humming.

Nor will it have the particularity of "extraordinary language", like a very clumsy babbling, and it seems to have been screened and harmless by Noens himself.

But it's not good to learn something, you have to learn to sing "Hanging Man"!?

Crane sighed heavily, and was "chirped" twice by the lark he covered his mouth before it fell silent.

Klein put down his hand: "No, you must not tell her about going to that desert island." ”

The lark flapped his wings several times unwillingly, almost fanning the pen on Crane's desk to the ground.

Klein shook his head even more firmly: "Absolutely not, that island is extremely dangerous, we shouldn't involve her, even if that voice ...... at the time"

While Crane and Alger were exploring the pristine island and harvesting the "Tyrant" card, as well as various extraordinary properties and materials, they saw the mural of the Creator being eaten in the burial hall of the ruins of the church of the "Ancient Sun God".

The exploration didn't go deeper, as a sigh of oppression came from the depths of the church.

And the voice at that time sighed: "The favor of fate ......"

Crane quickly used the grazing "Brigade Mage" in "Wriggling Hunger" to activate the ability of "Teleportation" and pulled Alger away from the island quickly.

But the mysterious island disappeared directly behind the two of them.

Crane stopped his divergent memories and looked at the lark on the table again, "I know you thought that thing was weird, you were curious about the voice, and it circled around us several times, I remember." ”

The lark nodded again and again, and scratched the letter paper under Crane's hand with his claws.

"No, it's because you're drawn to that voice that I can't tell Esther about it. Otherwise, she would definitely want to investigate, and she would have inquired about the location of that island. Crane tapped the lark's head, causing the bird to let out a short, soft chirp.

"She'll just want to take risks. The voice that can make me and Alger feel a strong sense of oppression must be a terrifying high-ranking extraordinary, and Esther will most likely send herself to the door when she goes to communicate. That would only make things worse, and I wasn't even sure I would be able to get her out. ”

Klein folded the letter, stuffed it into an envelope, and simply sealed it with wax.

The lark flew off the table and landed on the ground, coming face to face with the black puppy who could only swallow it with one mouth.

The lark shouted timidly twice, constantly flapping its wings next to the puppy.

Klein leaned over and patted the puppy on the head, "Please help me give this letter to Esther." Leave the bird alone, and don't tell Esther what we're talking about, okay? ”

The puppy looked at the anxious lark, then at Klein, nodded proudly, grabbed the envelope and jumped into the spiritual rift.

The lark kicked the ground and flew back to the bird's shelf where it had been, turning its back in Crane's direction in a huff.
