Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang.

Chapter 147 Sailing the Boat
"There are ghosts! There are female ghosts!"

The elegantly dressed lady with blonde hair in a bun was screaming all the time. Her voice was too sharp, and it would easily attract more people, which was not good.

Before she knocked down the chair, Esther finally pulled herself out of the mirror, freeing her hand to comfort the lady—Esther opened her right hand and stole the blond lady's thoughts .

The blond lady loosened her hand, seeing that the chair was about to fall, Esther quickly reached out to take it.But her "vision" was still in a state of chaos, and her prediction was wrong, and she was touched by the chair leg on her forehead, leaving a small bruise.

Before the blond lady regained consciousness, Esther glanced at the messy sundries on the ground, reluctantly threw two gold pounds by the dressing table, then she slipped to the door and jumped out quickly, not forgetting to turn her head He gave the blond lady an apologetic look.

Although the other party will not have a memory even if they see it.

After several minutes, the blond lady looked around the room blankly, saw the broken mirror and perfume on the floor, and let out another high-pitched scream, adding a heart-wrenching curse.

Leaving the big bed bedroom where the blonde lady was, Esther passed through a luxuriously decorated living room. After her eyes glanced at the blue outside the closed window, she realized where she was. made an accurate judgment.

This is a boat?No wonder I always feel a little shaking, so it's not the sequelae of traveling through the world in the mirror.

Esther silently digested a small part of the stolen memories, and learned that this was a freighter departing from South Wales, passing through East Tucker County to Pritz Harbor, carrying some passengers.In this age of more convenient steam trains, the sea route is usually reserved for holidaymakers who are not in a hurry.

In the early morning of the day after tomorrow, the ship will arrive at Pritz Harbor according to the established route. At that time, Esther will find a hotel that does not require identification, and can still catch up with the Tarot Club on Monday afternoon, without having to talk to Mr. Fool asked for leave.

Quickly walking out of the cabin where others lived, she stepped on the soft red carpet on this long corridor, clinging to the wall and walking to the deck along the stairs at the end.

Someone seemed to have heard the lady's screams, and two people dressed as sailors passed by Esther. Esther sensed that someone was approaching, so she smiled and nodded at them, so the two men also behaved indiscriminately. He nodded in response to her, glanced at Esther and hurried to the guest room, not paying attention to her.

The moment Esther stepped out of the cabin, the sea breeze swept her face, and she could still smell the unique salty smell of the sea.

Such a rare sense that has not been stolen allows Esther to retain the comfort of being in the real world.

Esther was close to the bulwark that served as a guardrail at the edge of the deck, and looked down. She couldn't fully see the color of the sea and the splashing waves. She could only imagine what it should have been from the occasional floating lines.

"Hey, stand back! It's a rough day!"

After hearing this voice, Esther immediately let go of her hand on the railing like an electric shock, and followed the other party's suggestion to take two steps back.

The caller came over, and while he was looking up and down Esther, Esther was also trying to outline his image in perception:
Light-colored clothes, middle-aged age, and firm will, Esther focused on this gentleman, and could vaguely recognize him wearing an old kitchen hat. He smelled of smoke and fish. More details She couldn't tell the parts apart.

The head chef of the "Blue Gull" scratched his beard, which he hadn't shaved for a few days, and pretended to be careless, snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand and threw it over the side of the ship.After noticing that Esther's eyes were still out of focus, the weather-beaten wrinkles on his face gradually unfolded, and his original stern expression slightly restrained:

"Are you all right, seasick?"

Esther laughed embarrassedly and waved her hands repeatedly, but she was completely unable to answer the gentleman's question.

"Is your eyes bad?" The chef stretched out his hand and shook Esther's eyes twice, and found that her eyes could not move at all, so he couldn't help asking, "Where is your family? What room number? I'll go call them."

Esther pointed to her tightly closed mouth and shook her head vigorously. Her lifeless eyes looked extremely sad and melancholy, as if she might shed tears at any moment.

Such an incommunicable situation made the head chef scratch his beard even more irritably. He pointedly scolded the sky, then turned to Esther and said, "Then you can at least understand me, right?" ? Stay here and don’t wander around, stay away from the side of the boat! I’ll call someone.”

The head chef complained indistinctly, and quickly returned to the cabin through another side door.

Esther rubbed her useless eyes, feeling sad about her current situation. She looked at her left hand, and the cursed remaining black thread finally completely dissipated.

The evil spirit whose fate was devoured by her disappeared in this way, and Esther could only say thank you to "her" from the bottom of her heart.

She tried to break her mouth, but couldn't move at all.

Will I always be like this?

Esther stood quietly on the deck, the smell and touch of the sea breeze gradually filled the world in her perception, allowing her to feel a limited connection with reality.

The "spiritual intuition" in her mind was touched again, and Esther blinked, surprised by the news Zoya told her:
Monday afternoon?Why was it restored at that time, because of the Tarot Society? Mister Fool can help me! ?

Esther restrained herself from the urge to pray to The Fool now, at least she had to wait until she found the hidden spot in Pulitzer Harbor before settling down, and she still had to find a way to restore the previously exhausted spot of light.

Until now, Esther's hair has remained silver-white, and she knows very well in her heart that the power consumed in the great smog of Backlund far exceeds the limit of what she can drive.

If "Zoya" is not willing to help, I don't know what will happen.Esther tapped her fingers lightly on her forehead.

I don't know how Klein is doing now, he's probably very disappointed in me... Where are Rabbit and Jayne?I don't know how much impact the smog will have and how many people will suffer.

Esther couldn't help but think of Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi, she pressed the center of her right eyebrow hard and chuckled.

A little sad.

-

A few minutes later, the head chef quickly led several other people back to the deck, and Esther could hear him yelling angrily from a distance:

"How can there be such a bullshit family? The storm will not approve of such behavior! Such a weak girl! Even if she finds an ordinary family to marry, it is better than throwing her on the boat? This is to let her fend for herself, to put it bluntly It's murder!"

"Okay, old Jack, please keep your voice down, I'm not yet old enough to deaf."

The head of a middle-aged man has short, inch-long hair and a boat-shaped cap on top. The hair at his temples is blue-black, and his thick eyebrows are almost connected into a single word because of wrinkles. His facial features are resolute. Annual rings left by a carving knife.

Even though he was wearing a thick gray and black coat, it could be seen that his arms and shoulder blades were protruding due to his muscular development, and his dark eyes were quite bright, giving people a clear sense of oppression.

If you change your attire, many people will believe that the captain is a pirate.

This captain has a distinct sea breeze-like breath about him.

He walked up to Esther first, straightened his hat politely, and then realized that there was a high probability that the lady would not be able to see the hat-off ceremony, so he put his arm down again.

"can you talk?"

Esther shook her head again and again, making gestures around her mouth and eyes twice.

The burly captain was also embarrassed, and he sighed: "Oh, I'm Reeves Black, the captain of the 'Blue Gull'."

Esther nodded, indicating that she understood.

"Last night, the crew did notice that three people sneaked onto the ship while we were moving the cargo. But before we divided up to drive them away, they went down again by themselves. You were probably brought up at that time .”

"Ok?"

Esther was a little surprised, why did she arrange her own fate before she had time to make up a complete story background?
After thinking about it for a while, Reeves proposed the way he had considered before: "Well, can we arrange an empty room for you?"

Esther nodded again and again, took out a few soules from her satchel, gestured at the captain blankly, and looked at him suspiciously.

"Do you have money with you? But you... do you have enough money left?"

Esther nodded vigorously.

Reeves took the few soli banknotes in Esther's hand and found that there were about fifteen soli, which was equivalent to the half-way boat ticket for the young woman's two-day board.Reeves didn't bother to worry about it anymore. This woman couldn't see and couldn't speak. It was a big trouble, and he didn't want to worry about it.

Anyway, when we arrived at Pulitzer Harbor and sent her ashore, whatever she went to do, even if something happened, it had nothing to do with the "Blue Gull".As long as she doesn't interfere with the ship's navigation and arrives at Pritz Harbor smoothly for the handover, Reeves doesn't care if there is such a half-blind passenger on board.

"Okay, then David, you can lead this lady to the guest room of ."

Esther raised her skirt to the people opposite, and the old Jack sighed and shook his head: "This world, bah!"

David was a much younger midshipman, with short blond hair thrown up in a mess, and a round face with a bit of baby fat, but he was already quite tall.Although this young man was half a head taller than Esther, Esther felt that he was even younger than her own appearance, about 17 years old.

"Yes! Captain! I'll take her right away!"

Esther followed the young man and rejected his invitation to help her down the stairs with gestures. Although the things she saw were still chaotic and strange, she had gradually gotten used to this state and was able to distinguish the environment proficiently.

Strangely, she seemed to smell something.

Esther sniffed again, and David, who was leading the way, didn't notice it, but enthusiastically introduced her to the configuration of the second-class cabin.Because this ship mainly used for cargo does not have third-class cabins, and second-class cabins are narrow guest rooms with public bathrooms. Most of them have no windows, and they are not as comfortably decorated as first-class cabins and have independent bathrooms.

But as Esther walked down the stairs behind David, she vaguely smelled something that made her sick, similar to the smell of blood, but sweeter.

She once felt a similar smell on the island, which came from the "heart" sealed in the iron box.

There is something unusual about this ship.
