Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Ailiya smiled helplessly upon hearing Audis's words.

Those young navigators did indeed seem a bit inexperienced, but Chairman Yilaizhe was already so old, it was unlikely he would go to sea again.

Even if he did, it would be as a navigator for the "Queen," not on Audis's ship.

Yilaizhe stroked his graying beard and said with a smile, "You can see, my beard is already white, the work of teaching navigator apprentices is more suitable for me."

Audis smiled and said, "These navigator apprentices should go to sea and gain experience. If you are willing to go to sea, I am willing to provide food and lodging for the navigator apprentices as well."

Yilaizhe shook his head: "Then they will definitely die under the enemy's artillery fire and muskets, or die in close combat with the enemy."

On a ship, the navigator is a very special profession.

When a battle occurs, the navigator is the only person who can hide in the cabin.

After becoming a prisoner, the navigator also has a high probability of not being killed.

After all, the sea is too vast, and there are not many reference points. A navigator who can know the direction through constellations and his approximate position is a "guide at sea."

In addition, the best among them can also judge the coming rainstorms and storms through the clouds. They are "high-precision" talents at sea, so of course they will not be killed casually after being caught.

And if Yilaizhe and his apprentices boarded Audis's ship, only he could enjoy the treatment of a navigator, and the other apprentices would have to participate in battles like other crew members, and go out on the deck to fight the weather and the sea when encountering storms.

These young people who have only learned the theoretical knowledge of navigation do not have a higher survival rate than ordinary crew members.

Audis originally wanted to persuade him further, but in the end, he smiled and simply said, "Then that's a pity indeed."

Seeing that Audis didn't insist any further, Yilaizhe smiled and said, "I will help you keep an eye out. If there are any navigators leaving other ships, I will notify you immediately."

Audis nodded: "Good."

After coming out of the guild, Audis asked Ailiya: "How many years has this Chairman been a navigator? When did he start teaching students?"

"He started working as a navigator at the age of 18."

Ailiya didn't think too much and replied, "Between his twenties and fifties, he was the navigator of the 'Dawn'.

"I've forgotten exactly how many years he did it, but he's generally recognized as the most experienced navigator.

"He retired from the 'Dawn' four or five years ago, and was elected as the chairman of the 'Navigator Guild' the following year."

Audis nodded: "I understand."

Ailiya smiled and said, "You don't really want to ask him to be your navigator, do you?"

It wasn't impossible. If Audis asked the "Queen" to come forward, Yilaizhe would have no choice but to board Audis's ship.

Audis smiled and said, "I don't really like forcing others to do things they don't want to do."

Ailiya said "Oh" and didn't pay much attention to the matter.

In the afternoon, Audis continued to teach the scholars occult knowledge and magic circle knowledge, and told them that they would start carving the "Engine Magic Circle" on the ship in three or four days, and they must master all the knowledge of this magic circle in these few days.

The scholars suddenly had the feeling of vomiting blood. They didn't expect that they would have to suffer this hardship even at such an old age.

In the evening, Bernadette had something to do and was not in the Emerald Palace.

Audis hurriedly ate dinner, and taking advantage of the twilight, used the "Travel Ring" to come to the deserted island provided by Bernadette with precise coordinates.

This island was not large. The outermost layer was a circle of coconut trees, and the inside of the island was a dense forest.

In the middle of the island was a volcano with no signs of activity. The hillside was covered with trees and green grass, but there was little vegetation on the top of the mountain.

The "Alaman Tree" was not difficult to find. Audis came to the top of the mountain, took a simple look, and saw a bronze-colored, not very tall tree.

The reason why he saw it at a glance was because within a dozen meters around it, there were many large trees that had been broken in half.

There were also some animal carcasses, which looked very dangerous at first glance.

Audis touched his hair, feeling that it was still quite thick, so he put on a hat to prevent his hair from falling here.

Then, he put on the "Hand of Judgment" gloves and used the "Travel Ring" to come near the 'Alaman Tree'.

Looking at it up close, this tree looked a bit like a metal tree. The trunk was a bit close to brass, and the leaves were a bit like bronze in color.

At the top of the brass trunk, there was an irregularly shaped burl. The lines on these burls actually formed several characters that looked like occult symbols.

At the top of the tree, five white flowers bloomed.

Those flowers were trumpet-shaped and not very big.

Dealing with this "Alaman Tree" did not put much pressure on Audis. After all, it was only a bit stronger than Sequence 7, but Audis had two sealed artifacts comparable to Sequence 5.

Audis was about to pick up a dead branch from the ground to test the firepower of the "Alaman Tree", when suddenly, the five flowers on the tree slowly turned towards Audis together.

As Audis raised his hand, the earth suddenly trembled, and a wave formed of soil slammed towards Audis, making it impossible for Audis to "aim" at the "Alaman Tree".

He had no choice but to sprinkle a large handful of earthy yellow powder. The powder rippled in the air, emitting a strong earthy smell, and the soil wave immediately became distorted, forming a vortex.

In front of Audis, this "soil wave" was resolved by his "Witchcraft".

Audis immediately sprinkled another handful of seemingly transparent "flying powder", while saying to the "Alaman Tree": "Imprisonment!"

The air around the "Alaman Tree" suddenly became viscous, covering the tree, as if forming a huge amber.

Audis suddenly flew forward: "Death!"

When the viscous liquid became lighter, and the "Alaman Tree" was about to get rid of the "imprisonment", Audis had already rushed to the vicinity of the tree, and punched the tree in half.

Audis took a few steps back, not immediately going forward.

Today was his first time hunting extraordinary plants, and he felt that he should wait for the crystallization of extraordinary characteristics, just like killing an extraordinary person.

But what Audis didn't expect was that the "Alaman Tree" that fell on the ground suddenly stood up on its own, and then a "hurricane" blew towards Audis.

Audis was stunned for about half a second, but quickly reacted and sprinkled a large handful of white powder.

The powder immediately "melted" into the air, forming a spiritual barrier in front of Audis, blocking the "hurricane" and sharp "wind blades" that were coming towards him.

At the same time, Audis realized that his attack just now had not hit the vital point of this "Alaman Tree".

At this time, he looked at the "burl" at the top of the trunk.

Audis used "Flying" again to fly into the air, and he took out the silver-white axe-shaped "Thunderstorm Bomb" and threw it out.

Tzzzz~

A silver-white light quickly spread and drilled into the ground.

The light swelled, forming a semi-circular arc that kept flashing. This arc instantly expanded to about five meters, accommodating the "Alaman Tree" in this range into the arc.

The "Alaman Tree" suddenly fell into a short state of paralysis. Audis pulled out the dagger he was carrying, pierced the burl, and quickly flew forward and pried it open with the dagger.

Most of the burl separated from the trunk, and the entire "Alaman Tree" seemed to tremble. Then Audis seemed to feel that the spirituality of the "Alaman Tree" on the ground in front of him seemed to suddenly condense.

Audis was sure that he had taken down this tree this time.

Soon he found that some crystals appeared at the burl, which was the crystallization of the 'Alaman Tree' beginning to precipitate.

Only then did Audis take off the glove-shaped "Hand of Judgment" and searched around with his spirituality to make sure that his hair had not fallen around.

No mistake, first hair, inside first look!

During the process of crystal precipitation, Audis was not idle. He used a dagger to collect the flowers and leaves of the "Alaman Tree". There were a total of five flowers, and the leaves were not very dense, only about one hundred pieces.

Finally, there was the spirit-rich bark and sap. After all the spiritual materials were collected, the crystals were completely precipitated. Audis took out the wooden box he had prepared and placed the crystals in it.

Although he knew that there were two other "Alaman Trees" on this island, this was Bernadette's backyard after all, and it was not good to "kill them all", so he simply did not go looking for the other two "Alaman Trees" and used the "Travel Ring" to return to Lasha Island.

After putting the spiritual materials and the "Alaman Tree Crystal" into the "Knowledge Wilderness", Audis suddenly realized that keeping the "Alaman Tree" was indeed of higher value.

It seemed to bloom three to five flowers every year, and each flower could normally sell for more than two hundred pounds. Even if it only sold for 200 pounds, that would be an income of 600 to 1000 pounds.

Even in Beckland, this was a pretty good investment project.

But he was just thinking about it, because he didn't have the strength to raise this kind of extraordinary plant yet.

The next day, Audis began to implement his plan. He rented a small shop on Kent Lane in Bayam.

Kent Lane was not long, but it was a famous "Herbal Antique" street in Bayam. Herbs were not difficult to understand, that was Audis's old business.

The so-called antiques were actually antiques that pirates salvaged from sunken ships at sea or dug up from colonies.

In addition, there were many divination stalls or stores on the street here, and it was also a gathering place for occult enthusiasts and "low sequence" extraordinary people.

The reason Audis chose this place was because it was relatively chaotic, with both genuine business people and many swindlers.

Such a place could make an intelligence stronghold more concealed.

Initially, Audis even intended to use this place to digest potions, so he had people make a sign for a "Wizard Affairs Office," with a line of small print explaining: "Specializing in solving all kinds of bizarre matters."

It was just short of saying "Specializing in solving mystical events."

The sign wouldn't be ready until tomorrow, and some of the furniture he ordered would also be delivered tomorrow. After Audis agreed with them on the delivery time, he used the "Travel Ring" to return to Lasha Island and give the scholars an afternoon of lessons.

In the evening, Audis received a "transaction reminder" from "Justice" that the "Psychological Alchemy Society" was willing to complete the transaction with him.

So Audis sacrificed the silver-white sword-shaped sealed artifact to "The Fool," while the "Eyes of the Spirit-Passing Bird" would be available tomorrow.

The collection of potion main ingredients was smoother than expected. By tomorrow, two main ingredients would be gathered, and the most crucial auxiliary material, the flower of the "Alaman Tree," had also been obtained. Audis had already prepared the other auxiliary materials.

Now, all that was left was to digest that last bit of potion.

This led Audis to plan to visit the Church of the Evernight Goddess in Bayam in the next two days and simply renovate the "Wizard Affairs Office."

In the future, he would go there every evening to sit for a while, striving to acquire some new customers as soon as possible.

In the evening, Bernadette was still not at Emerald Palace.

Audis didn't plan to go out today, so he chatted with Bernadette's personal maid while eating dinner, as usual.

Although Bernadette wasn't present, her tableware was still set, and the personal maid waited there. Only after eight o'clock in the evening, if Bernadette hadn't returned, would the tableware be removed.

So, generally, when Bernadette wasn't there, Audis would chat with her personal maid while eating.

Having eaten seafood for the past few days, Audis was a bit tired of it, so today he changed his taste, asking the chef to make three vegetable dishes, as well as steak and salad.

While eating the "Sweet and Sour Lettuce" dish, Audis heard Bernadette's personal maid say that Bernadette had gone to the Berserk Sea to purchase spirituality materials.

The personal maid knew very well that Audis was a good friend of the "Queen," so she didn't conceal such non-confidential matters.

Audis ate a mouthful of lettuce with tomatoes as a side dish, the taste being similar to the "cold dishes" in his memory.

He remembered Bernadette saying a couple of days ago that this was the last batch of spirituality materials needed for shipbuilding.

So Audis chewed and casually asked, "Where exactly did she go?"

The personal maid said, "It seems she went to Bansy Harbor."

"Where?"

"Bansy Harbor." Seeing Audis's strong reaction, the personal maid asked, "What's wrong?"

Audis suddenly had a bad feeling because "Mr. Fool's Blessed" had gone to the Berserk Sea. Wherever this guy went, danger followed.

If he remembered correctly, Klein should be arriving at Bansy Harbor soon, so Bansy Harbor was becoming very dangerous.

However, Audis wasn't too worried. After all, Bernadette was a Sequence 3, with a strong ability to protect herself. Moreover, Bernadette hadn't encountered too much danger before finding Rosell…

But soon, Audis thought again: The reason she didn't have too much danger was because she should be in Backlund at this time! And because I participated in the "Backlund Smog" event, changing "history," Bernadette, who was originally in Backlund, is now trading spirituality materials for shipbuilding!

Audis immediately stood up. He was a little worried and prepared to go to Bansy Harbor.
