Another wild roar rang out in the castle, and Esther and Benjamin held hands, their bodies drawn by an invisible force, and flew somewhere in the air in a whirlwind current.

As the two of them passed through a very oppressive darkness, when they were bright again, they had reached the woods a hundred meters away from the castle.

Benjamin immediately let go of Esther: "Tell me when you're ready."

Esther shook her head, a tinnitus vertigo was constantly disturbing her, and she carefully sat under the tree, slowly pressing the position of her eyebrows: "This is also a fraud of the rules?"

"I took advantage of the hole He left behind, and it was as simple as the location of the destruction as conspicuous as the black dots on the white paper. The Moonlight Barrier around this castle is inherently unstable, but this instability will carry over to the Travelers, and it may take some time for you to get used to it."

Benjamin explained in detail and looked into Esther's pocket, "Is there anything else on you?"

A timid "squeak" came from Esther's pocket, and the bat poked out half of its head and stared at Benjamin in horror.

Esther immediately whispered to comfort it: "It's okay, don't be so afraid, Benjamin just looks a little weird, but in fact he is a good man......

Benjamin glared at Esther, looked at her in silence for a few seconds, and then looked away with difficulty, someone would actually use the word "good guy" to evaluate him, and this was really the first time he had received such an evaluation since becoming an independent doppelganger.

Haha, good guys? I don't know if the ontology likes this evaluation or not. Benjamin thought to himself, as he raised his right hand and put his glasses on as Esther calmed the bat.

Benjamin's gaze froze slightly, and then he shouted, "Esther."

"What's wrong?" The bat had fallen silent, and when Esther heard her name, she looked up at Benjamin.

"It shouldn't have left the castle." Benjamin said softly, his tone unexpectedly soft.

The bat screamed even more in horror, as if afraid that the two would send it back again, and Esther put her finger on its head, and soon the bat's voice was lowered, and she calmed down again at her gentle touch.

Esther shook her head, "I didn't want to bring it out, it was it coming out on its own, I saw other bats, and they didn't stop me or it."

"That's right." Benjamin looked out at the castle in the distance, where the occasional roar could be heard, and said nothing.

Esther followed his gaze, "Shall we leave?"

"Wait until dawn. I'm going to make one final check on the situation and see if the castle can be calm after dawn."

Esther glanced at Benjamin and smiled, "I didn't expect you to have such concerns. If something goes wrong with this castle, shouldn't we notify the official Extraordinary? lest it be harmful to others."

Benjamin looked back at her strangely, "No, I'll sell this news at tonight's party for some money, and see if any fools are willing to come and die, and appease the anger of the Marquis of Kailar."

Silence is the best way to communicate without words.

The red moon retracted its light and fell into the sky, and when the first rays of sunlight fell, Esther couldn't help but squint her eyes and take a deep breath.

The bat in her pocket suddenly screamed with joy, and Esther had to reach out and help it crawl out of her pocket.

As the bat struggled to lift itself, Esther understood its thoughts, and simply raised her hands high and held the bat above her head, so that it could clearly see the sunlight running through the clouds and towards the earth.

The bat spread its wings high, and in the sunlight, its body began to disintegrate, being swept away by a gust of wind, and Esther's hand shook slightly, but she did not change her movements.

As more and more sunlight penetrated the bat's body, a black cloud of smoke dissipated into the air, and Esther raised her hand, the last of the ashes in her palm carried away by the warm wind.

It may have been a delusion, but Esther felt like she heard a "thank you."

」。

Esther stares blankly at the sun, which leaves a stinging black hole in the retina, but it doesn't really hurt her, as long as she closes her eyes, everything will be fine.

So Esther patted the ashes off her hands and closed her eyes:

"Benjamin, you know more about the extraordinary world than I do, can ordinary people and extraordinary people really go to the kingdom of the gods after they die?"

"I don't know, I don't have faith anymore." Benjamin replied with a smile.

He was still staring in the direction of the castle, watching the blood moon crumble and disappear in the sunlight, the castle gradually falling back to the ground, all the plants withering and dissolving into the air, and everything back to desolate ruins.

"I'm curious where I'll go when I die?"

Benjamin lifted his glasses and looked expressionless: "If you're curious, I can help you stay in the form of extraordinary objects."

Esther looked at him stunned, and Benjamin looked serious.

Once again, however, things fell short of expectations, and Benjamin did not welcome her wrath.

Esther looked at him like that, chuckling softly, then laughing out loud, almost tears in her eyes as she clutched her stomach.

Her laughter shone down with the sun.

——

Rewind the clock to hours ago, at nightfall on June 5th.

Beckland, 160 Berclund Street.

Today is Sunday, and since Sunday and night are both symbols of the "Goddess of the Night", the cathedral often celebrates a large mass on Sunday night, after which many servants will be busy for a while, cleaning up and cleaning before resting.

Klein had already done his divination, and planned to let "Magic Mirror" Arodus stay in the room in his place, and continue to pretend to be Dawn Dantès. He ventures into the church of St. Samuel, trying to find a way to get his hands on the Antigonus family notebook and find the recipe for the "Sophist".

After giving Miss Magician the protection of the full moon, Crane returned to the gray mist, summoned Arodus, and instructed him to look at the illusion and deal with the accident.

The lark that had been crouching on the monopod suddenly moved, flying straight towards Crane, trying to get under his clothes.

"No, absolutely not!" It's rare for Klein to speak to the lark in such a stern tone, "What I'm going to do tonight is dangerous, and you'll definitely be found out if you come along."

The lark "chirped" a few times aggrievedly, but because he was held by Klein entirely, he couldn't break free.

After being put back on the monopod by Crane, the lark looked at him reluctantly, and let out a very small soft chirp.

Crane shook his head again, "Absolutely not. You stay here and wait for me to come back, you know? It's not a consultation, it's an order."

The lark cried out even more sadly, then hung his head in frustration and buried his head directly under his wings, no longer looking at Crane.

This is the "way of discipline" that Arodus taught Klein, and as long as the lark is clearly informed of the compulsion of the "order", it cannot disobey Klein's words at all.

Klein once asked Arodes why he knew, but Arodes proudly said, "Because it's a privilege to serve the greatest master of the spirit world!" It's the same with it and the light behind it!"

Crane couldn't go any further, he felt that this was useless for Esther, and he didn't have enough control over Zoya now.

Klein transforms into Gelman Sparrow's appearance, allowing the "wriggling hunger" on his left palm to hide, and his figure quickly fades, "traveling" to the other end of Pesfield Street.

Finding a corner of hiding in the square, he waited for a suitable opportunity.

In Dawn's bedroom, the lark named "Nornes" did not stay quiet for long, noticing that Klein had really left and did not turn back, he raised his head again to look around, and then whispered to Arodes on the bed.

Strangely, there didn't seem to be any communication barrier between Arodes and Noons, and its lazy voice sounded from the mirror, end

All lost the flattery and positivity in the face of Klein:

"Want to ask a question? Yes, now I've answered you a question. You know my rules, one question for another. Who is your master?"

Nornes was silent for two seconds, then let out a short, unwilling tone.

"Zoya, that's true, your subject only wants to escape from the responsibility of serving the Lord of the Spirit Realm, a complete traitor, I have known it for a long time......

Before Arodes' resentful fragmentation continued, Noons interrupted him with a tactful whisper.

Arodes listened carefully, and after a moment, he replied in Done's voice, "As far as the situation is concerned, it is impossible. Even I can't see what happened before everything, and you and your subject should be able to understand the statement. If you want to unravel the relationship between Him and your subject, you have to start at the root, and that is a competence that only the Spirit Lord can fully control, and it is a deeper connection."

Nornes hung his head, looking even more upset than Klein had refused to take with him.

Of course, Arodes did not care about the lark's mood, and indifferently carried out its usual question and answer: "Now it's my turn to ask, who is the lady who is active in the real world now?"

Nornes was silent for a few moments before he whispered, sounding rather reluctant.

It's just that after this answer, neither the lark nor Arodes communicated with each other again.

The hour hand turns, and the night continues.

Disguised as a servant, Crane infiltrated St. Samuel's Cathedral, and when he rubbed shoulders with Leonard, he wiped a cold sweat in his heart.

Fortunately, the "thief" who was parasitic on Leonard did not react, and Crane managed to penetrate the inside of Chanis Gate and go all the way underground.

However, just as he felt the call and found the Antigonus family notebook, before Klein could venture to grab the notebook, a hooded figure with a beautiful face was already standing in the doorway.

Like a pencil drawing erased by an eraser, Crane was sent away by the power of "Secret".
