Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

After hearing "Justice" Audrey initiate the topic, "Hanged Man" Alger said, "Many extraordinary organizations have predicted the arrival of the doomsday, but most believe that these are exaggerated remarks, just to attract people's attention.

"However, some people speculate that the so-called doomsday is the change of epochs."

"Magician" Forsi was stunned: "Is the Fifth Epoch coming to an end soon? Is it going to enter the Sixth Epoch?"

Alger did not give an accurate answer: "Some people speculate like this."

At this time, "Hermit" Odyss reminded: "The change of epochs may be full of hardships, such as at the end of the Third Epoch, the 'Great Cataclysm' occurred before entering the Fourth Epoch.

"For example, at the end of the Fourth Epoch, the four emperors fell one after another before the Fifth Epoch began."

"Fool" Klein immediately manipulated "The World" and asked: "Is the fall of the four emperors a sign of the beginning of the Fifth Epoch?"

"I'm not very clear about the specifics." Odyss said with a "refusing to be freeloaded" expression: "The fall of the four emperors is one of the signs of the beginning of the Fifth Epoch, but it doesn't seem to be the main sign."

The most important sign of the Fifth Epoch is that the gods went to the astral world, and divine descents rarely occur in the human world anymore.

Fors asked: "Why don't I have any feeling of epoch change? Or any sense of crisis?"

Odyss asked back: "Have you ever thought about the nature of our Tarot Gathering?"

The other members nodded one after another, and Forsi also understood that the ancient being "The Fool" was awakening and invited several people here to gather in order to achieve some purpose of his own.

The revival of a mysterious existence should be one of the harbingers of epoch change.

Klein once again felt that "Hermit" had the talent to be a missionary: to make something that seems ordinary sound so lofty, and everyone can develop all kinds of associations. This pretentious style is almost catching up with me.

In his opinion, "The Fool's awakening" is not a sign of epoch change, after all, the Fool is only Sequence 7 at present.

Audrey asked again: "Then, in this situation, what should we do?"

"Work hard to improve yourself." "The World," who usually doesn't talk much, joined the topic: "Make yourself stronger, so that you can have the ability to protect yourself in the doomsday."

Klein also believed that the doomsday would come in the near future. What ordinary extraordinaries can do is to work hard to improve themselves, otherwise they won't even know how they died in the end.

Just as "Hermit" mentioned earlier, in the "Land Abandoned by God," most people died confusedly. Even the people who survived only understood what happened around them after being frightened for a long time.

And if it is an angel, they should be able to avoid such disasters. Even if it is a demigod, they will not be as embarrassed as ordinary people.

Audrey nodded: "I see, thank you for your reminder."

Now she is about to digest the Sequence 8 "Mind Reader" potion. If she successfully passes the test of the "Psychological Alchemy Society," she should be able to get the formula for Sequence 7.

She felt a little emotional, wishing the promotion speed could be faster.

Then Forsi said to Alger: "After the gathering, I will once again offer the first chapter of 'Spiritual World Anecdotes' to Mr. Fool."

Klein thought to himself: There is no need to offer it again. You have already offered it twice, and I have an "archive" here.

Alger nodded: "Okay."

"The World" and "Justice" have both read "Spiritual World Anecdotes." He is also very curious about what is recorded on it.

Then Alger looked at "The Sun": "Please tell me some ancient myths that you know."

"The Sun" Derrick had calmed down at this time. He "um" a sound and said: "I saw from some ancient books that only five ancient gods remained in the later period of the Second Epoch.

"'The Lord' defeated 'Dragon of Imagination', 'Elven King', 'Giant King', and 'Progenitor of the Undying Bird' respectively, and there was only one omniscient and omnipotent God in the human world.

"According to the records in ancient books, 'The Lord' took back the authority of 'Dragon of Imagination' and 'Elven King' on his own initiative, while 'Giant King' and 'Progenitor of the Undying Bird' repeatedly challenged the authority of 'Omniscient and Omnipotent Lord', so these two gods also fell one after another."

Klein behind the gray fog thought to himself: The Ancient Sun God is so fierce?

Audrey asked the doubts in everyone's mind: "The Ancient Sun God is so powerful, how did he fall later?"

Everyone first looked at Mr. Fool at the head of the bronze long table. In the situation that Mr. Fool had no intention of answering, everyone looked at "Hermit" again.

"Hermit" Odyss once again said his usual rhetoric: "I do know some relevant information, but I am not very clear about the specific situation. If you want to trade information in this regard, I can help you find out.

"But I want to remind everyone that this information is very valuable and cannot be traded for one or two thousand pounds."

Audrey asked: "How much money will it cost roughly?"

"I don't know either." Odyss said: "But it must be a bit expensive."

Audrey pondered for a while before saying: "Help me find out. If it's too expensive, let's complete part of the transaction first."

She only said "help me find out" instead of "help us find out" to avoid some disputes in the future.

Derrick said: "I also hope to join the transaction. I can use some extraordinary materials or spiritual materials as a reward."

The other members did not express their opinions. Forsi was short of money and did not dare to express his opinion randomly. Klein and Alger wanted to decide whether to trade based on the situation at that time.

Odyss said to Derrick: "You can join the transaction by helping me verify some of my guesses.

"For example, when you think it is appropriate, provide some information to your superiors, saying that you saw strange light in the swamp with strange fish, or accidentally felt strange power."

Derrick immediately said: "I have basically gotten rid of the suspicion now, and I can report this information this week."

Odyss nodded: "Okay, if the transaction requires it, I will pay the gold pounds for you, or treat it as if you have paid the gold pounds."

Derrick asked curiously: "Mr. Hermit, may I ask what is the purpose of reporting this information?"

Alger had already keenly noticed: "It seems that 'Hermit' has made a major breakthrough in the research of plants and animals in Silver City."

Klein also had a similar guess, but since "Hanged Man" had said so, he did not manipulate "The World" to express his opinion.

Derrick said happily: "Really, Mr. Hermit? What major breakthrough do you have?"

"It's not a major breakthrough." Odyss smiled and said: "It's just a guess that there is a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact or a monster at the demigod level in the swamp with monsters.

"So I hope Silver City can explore it. You can have the Sealed Artifact you find. I just want to know if my guess is correct."

"A Sealed Artifact at the demigod level!" Derrick said: "This is indeed worth exploring."

Silver City has Sealed Artifacts that can shatter extraordinary characteristics. Basically, the Sealed Artifacts of the "Warrior" pathway have been shattered into extraordinary characteristics.

After two thousand years of accumulation, there are indeed some Sealed Artifacts at the demigod level, but the pathways are relatively singular. Of course, he would be very happy if he could add a Sealed Artifact of this level.

Alger asked strangely: "In so many years, Silver City has not discovered that there is a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact not far from them?"

Derrick answered him: "That swamp is very large. We have always walked around the swamp and have never heard of anyone exploring that swamp."

To him, this was not surprising, because so far, there will be some unknown monsters not far from Silver City.

Because Silver City is located there, and those monsters are constantly wandering.

The Silver City guard is divided into the inner city guard and the outer city guard. The outer city guard patrols the area not far outside Silver City. Almost every patrol will gain something, and most of them will obtain certain spiritual materials, and occasionally extraordinary characteristics or some main materials for potions.

So the demigod-level Sealed Artifact that "Hermit" said may have only existed recently.

Alger nodded slowly and said nothing more.

Derrick asked again: "Mr. Hermit, what pathway is that Sealed Artifact from?"

No error in one first one hair one inside one content one in one look!

"I'm not very clear either." Odyss said: "But you must not say that you found a clue to a demigod-level Sealed Artifact there.

"Just follow what I said just now, just see the strange light and feel the invisible power." Odyss urged: "Describe it according to the feeling of a demigod-level Sealed Artifact, but you can't say that it is a demigod-level Sealed Artifact."

Derrick nodded: "I understand."

He had seen Sealed Artifacts at the demigod level before, so he was no stranger to this feeling.

At this time, "The World" asked "Hermit" again: "If it's convenient, can you tell me the reason why you discovered that Sealed Artifact?"

"It's mainly the conclusion drawn from two studies." Odyss said generously: "One study is the dissection and comparison of organisms near the swamp.

"Before dissecting those plants and animals, it was hard to imagine that the fish that 'The Sun' provided was actually a mutated 'blood fluke', and the plant he provided was a mutated castor bean."

Derrick didn't have much of a concept of this: "It's not a loach after all."

Forsi said in surprise: "If I remember correctly, 'The Sun' said that the largest of those fish should be more than one person tall when standing up, right?"

Derrick still didn't know where the surprise was: "Yes."

Forsi asked again: "Do you know how long a blood fluke is in our world?"

Then she asked and answered herself: "Only two or three centimeters!"

“The Fool” helped Derrick convert the length units. Now, Derrick began to express his surprise: “Such a small thing actually mutated to be so long?”

The other members also shared this sentiment, so everyone looked towards “The Hermit”.

Audrey smiled and said, “I can tell you with certainty that it is a mutated blood fluke. First, the internal structures of the two are very similar, and the positions and shapes of the internal organs are almost identical.”

The members nodded in agreement with “The Hermit’s” judgment. Although they didn’t possess much biological knowledge, they were clear about the difference between a fish and a worm, and they believed that “The Hermit” wouldn’t make such a misjudgment.

Audrey once again asked the question that was on everyone’s mind: “Why would a blood fluke become like this?”

“I suspect it’s the influence of divinity,” Odyse said. “Moreover, it’s a mutation that occurred under long-term influence.

“Of course, I haven’t confirmed this yet. If Silver City finds a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact in the swamp, it can be determined that this is a reasonable guess.”

Klein, behind the gray fog, thought, “The Hermit’s” guess sounds quite reliable. Divinity is something that’s hard to explain, but it has a significant impact on Beyonders.

Alger, on the other hand, was both amazed and curious: Divinity actually has such an effect?

Fors asked somewhat embarrassedly: “May I ask what divinity is? Isn’t that something only Gods use… something like that?”

She really didn’t know how to describe divinity.

“Divinity is present at Sequence 4,” Odyse explained. “However, it is said that the divinity at this level is very tiny, but it is enough to cause qualitative changes in Beyonders and Beyonder abilities.”

Fors nodded, indicating that she understood “The Hermit’s” meaning, and also understood why divinity would cause such a huge change in living beings.

At this time, Audrey asked: “Mr. Hermit, why do you guess that there would be a demigod-level Sealed Artifact there, instead of an angel-level Sealed Artifact? Angel-level divinity should be more powerful.”

It was “The Hanged Man” Alger who answered this question: “The reason is very simple. If it were an angel-level Sealed Artifact, Silver City would have discovered it long ago, even if they were slow.

“Even if they felt it was too risky to try to master that Sealed Artifact, they would definitely warn the ordinary residents of Silver City to try not to get close to that swamp.

“However, ‘The Sun’ has not heard of such a warning, and safely obtained some plants and animals, as well as a bucket of sludge, from there.

“This shows that the Sealed Artifact’s influence on the edge of the swamp is not significant. Based on the above information, it is not difficult to guess that if there is one, there should be a demigod-level Sealed Artifact there.”

Odyse slowly nodded: “Political Commissar Hanged Man” still has some skill.

Derrick also showed an expression of admiration: “So that’s how it is.”

Audrey smiled and said, “Mr. Hanged Man, thank you for your explanation.”

She thought: Such a deduction is very difficult for me.

Odyse continued: “The influence of divinity alone is not enough for me to confirm such a guess. My second research result almost points out that there will be a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact in the swamp.

“Of course, it may also be a demigod-level monster, but this possibility is unlikely, because a monster at this level is likely to actively attack Silver City.”

He paused and then said: “As for my research results, I can’t announce them now.”

Everyone was somewhat disappointed, but since “The Hermit” said so, then the possibility of a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact in the swamp is very high.

This topic ended here. Alger then looked at “The World”. It was now “The World’s” turn to say some mystical knowledge.

Klein pondered for a moment before saying: “As far as I know, Emperor Rosell was the previous owner of the ‘Black Throne’ ship.”
