Mystery: The Lamp God’s Path To Freedom

The day passed quickly, and in the evening, Bernadette left Serenzo's Restaurant and headed for the Wakefield Grand Theater in Hillston District.

At the entrance of the Grand Theater, people were coming and going, and it was very lively. Some people poured out from the subway exit not far away, and some got out of luxuriously decorated private carriages. It seemed that all of them were well-dressed and smiling.

There is a big notice board at the entrance of the theater, on which is written the upcoming drama schedule in colorful words. The eye-catching font on the top reads: "Midsummer Night" will go to the dream of love with you tonight!

Bernadette walked into the theater hall with the flow of people, and did not stop on the first floor. She came to the door of a larger box on the second floor, with 2 written on it in cursive numbers.

Lightly knocking on the box door, the door was opened from the inside, and a young man dressed as a theater waiter leaned out. The young waiter didn't speak, just looked at the person until Bernadette took out a small conch. Seeing this token, the waiter fully opened the door, stepped aside, and motioned for the guest to come in.

Bernadette walked into box 2, and there was only a middle-aged man sitting by the wide open window inside, as if waiting for the opening of the scheduled drama on the stage below. Seeing someone coming in, the middle-aged man opened the box that he had been holding all the time. There were countless glittering and shining gemstones of various colors, and there was a rolled-up sheepskin scroll that was not too big. He took out the sheepskin scroll and spread it out on the table, then the middle-aged man motioned for someone to put his hand on the strange pattern in the center.

This is a magical item that allows people to teleport at a fixed point. It is called the traveler's secret scroll. It is composed of a poor traveler and the extraordinary characteristics of the solar path. It allows the holder to designate a person and send him to the predetermined location, and after the transmission is completed, a confidentiality contract is automatically signed. The specific content of the contract is formulated by the holder. The content of the contract related to confidentiality has a very strong binding force, and other content is less restrictive, so it cannot be enforced. Others signed a bond of slavery.

The negative effect of this magical item is that if it is carried for more than half an hour or used more than ten times, it will be randomly teleported by the scroll, and the teleportation range is very large. In a city like Backlund, it can drop people anywhere at will . At the same time, if it is carried for a long time, there is a high probability that it will be assimilated into a devotee of the sun.

This magical item loves shiny gems, and placing it in a box full of gems temporarily seals its negative effects.

The sheepskin scroll exuded golden light like the sun, and the hand placed on it and its owner's figure were blurred and transparent, and then completely disappeared.

Bernadette's figure appeared in an empty room. There was no furniture in the room, and it seemed to be just a temporary room for transitional use. As soon as the receptionist saw the face of the visitor, he blurted out in surprise: "Your Majesty the Queen!".

After welcoming Bernadette into another study room, the host of the party hurried over.

"Are you here this time...?" The person who came was an old man with a smile on his face. His hair was slightly gray, but he was hale and hearty. He was wearing a somewhat nondescript robe at this time, which was neither like the clergy of the church. It doesn't look like a classical wizard's robe, but it looks familiar.

Bernadette recalled it for a while, thinking of the old man's obvious identity in Backlund, she suddenly remembered that this is a style often chosen by magicians in circuses, it is more mysterious than formal clothes, more exaggerated than classical wizard robes, but not It's as funny as a clown's costume.

This old man is Galbien Codo, an important member of Dawn of Elements in Backlund, who has the right to deploy personnel and materials in the organization, and is currently a Sequence Five astrologer.

His public identity in Backlund is the owner of a large-scale circus, and he owns a small theater in the Jowood district with regular performances. The old Mr. Codo has a special love for entertainment such as circus, opera and drama.

"There are no special requirements. If you want to release some tasks, just treat me as an ordinary party participant."

Without a special mask provided by the party that can isolate the detection of the appearance, Bernadette's face is blurred for a moment, making people unconsciously ignore it. If you have to stare carefully to distinguish it, you will feel that it is an ordinary face with no characteristics. face.

Bernadette walked into another large room.

This is a farm on the outskirts of Backlund. Although it is not in the city, the room of this farm is still bright. All the gas wall lamps are turned on, and the soft light illuminates the figures of people wearing various masks present.

This large room was arranged like a large living room, with extravagant carpets, more sofas, coffee tables and chairs than normal, and desserts and drinks on the coffee tables. There are already some people in the room, some of them are sitting on the sofa or chairs without saying a word, waiting quietly, some of them gather together in two or three, talking quietly. The large living room is connected to the corridor, and there are several small rooms with closed doors on one side of the corridor.

The atmosphere in the room didn't look like a mysterious Extraordinary party, but rather a less formal, simpler country masquerade ball waiting to begin.

Bernadette sat casually on a sofa, picked up the teacup next to her, and occasionally took a sip with a leisurely expression.

Ten minutes later, Mr. Kodo, the host of the party, entered the room.

"Today's party begins."

The room fell silent, and everyone looked at the old man in exaggerated robes.

"It's still the old rule. I will provide free notarization, and the materials and items that are scheduled to conclude the transaction can be brought directly to me for notarization."

"Everyone can communicate freely."

The atmosphere suddenly became active. First there were clusters of whispers, and then there were sporadic loud arguments.

"I want to buy pure white brilliance stone!" A strong man wearing a golden mask shouted loudly. The mask covered his face, but it couldn't completely cover the thick stubble from the side of his face to his ears and neck.

A chuckle came, "Heh, you should go to Intis to find out why there are materials from the Sun Domain here."

"Then I might as well go to the Church of the Eternal Sun and surrender." The strong man with a beard should have immediately responded to the sarcastic man, and even wanted to immediately summon a holy light to give him a holy light blow.

A few eyes turned to the bearded man, as if they were just looking casually out of curiosity.

After waiting for a while, none of the people who came over responded. The strong man's mood swings clearly made people feel his disappointment and frustration. He muttered to himself angrily, "Is it true that you can't find glowing stones in Backlund?"

"I advise you not to go to other Extraordinary gatherings to look for it, be careful that the Punishers find out, and just kill you as a follower of the sun." The man who laughed before continued.

"I want to buy the cursed core of the highland one-eyed demon worm." A slightly ethereal female voice sounded, and people without a specific goal turned their eyes to a lady wearing a black mask.

This lady has long light golden hair and is wearing a simple black long skirt with a large skirt, which makes her bare neck look strangely white and transparent. The lady has a thin figure, with a thick black skirt, she looks deserted and weak.
