Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Inside the carriage, Audis handed Bazel two shields: "This shield is enough to withstand one volley from them, but the second volley will be pushing it."

"So, we need to seize the initiative completely before they can launch a second volley."

"The specific tactic is, I'll start with an attack, and you help me block their volley."

"Then I'll deal with those two Sequence 7s, and you take care of the others."

Bazel was stunned: "You…"

"Don't worry, I'm confident," Audis said with a smile. "Oh, right, if there's a huge explosion, don't panic, I created it."

Bazel didn't say anything more, but he re-evaluated the strength of the person in front of him in his heart.

"We've been chatting for so long, and you don't even seem to know my name," Audis said. "You can call me Captain Gahr… well, even though my ship hasn't been built yet.

"But it should be launched soon."

Bazel suddenly felt that this was a bit unreliable. The ship hasn't even been built, yet he's already calling himself a captain?

But there are many strange people on the sea, so he didn't pay too much attention to it and instead asked, "Why would you want to invite me to be your crew member?"

"I don't know if those rumors on the sea are true, but I think you must be fighting the 'Red Lion' pirate crew for some reason," Audis said.

Bazel took a deep breath before saying, "I'm not entirely seeking revenge for 'Broken Finger,' because he wasn't a good father, but he was a good captain.

"Compared to him, the other crew members were more like my family, and the first mate died protecting me from 'Red Lion' Taylor's pursuit.

"I… I feel like I have to do something for them."

Audis smiled and said, "Affection, that's exactly what's scarce on the sea.

"In my opinion, if a person is so cold-blooded that they don't care about their family and friends, they're not trustworthy.

"Some people think it's ridiculous to talk about affection on the sea, but it's the foundation for achieving mutual trust. It's precisely because it's scarce that it's precious.

"You're not very strong, but you possess the 'affection' that many strong people don't have. That's what I admire most about you, and it's the most valuable thing about you."

Bazel nodded seriously, "I'll consider it carefully."

Audis hummed in agreement. The two of them stopped talking and made their final preparations and adjustments.

After arriving in the suburbs by carriage, they quickly moved away from the road and headed for the woods on the edge of the city.

Blue Mountain Island is a tropical area with lush vegetation. Outside the city are undeveloped forests.

The cultivated farmland is some distance from the city.

Here, the bright lights of the city seemed very far away.

After arriving in the woods, the people behind them simply started following them openly.

After walking through the dark forest for about a few minutes, Audis looked back. The lights of Bayam were completely obscured by the trees, and they were far enough away from the city.

So, he pulled his hat down tightly and then slowly put on the black glove.

Bazel stopped tacitly. He carried one shield on his back and held the other shield in one hand. He held a gun in the other hand, aiming at the pirates.

The pirates also drew their guns one after another. At this moment, all that was missing was a signal, and a big melee would begin!

This signal came very quickly. Bazel's spirituality suddenly sensed danger, and he subconsciously blocked the shield in front of him.

At this moment, the figure of Sandra, the first mate of the 'Red Lion' pirate crew, suddenly appeared from the darkness. She held a dagger and launched a "fatal blow" at Bazel.

Audis smiled and took out a small mirror from his pocket, which he had been keeping there, and threw it at Sandra.

He knew that in the dark environment, Sandra would definitely use her "stealth" ability to try to sneak attack.

So Audis deliberately came to the dark forest to create an opportunity for her.

When Sandra saw the small mirror flying towards her, she immediately had a bad feeling and suddenly twisted her body to avoid it, but it was too late. Several thick strands of hair instantly wrapped her into a black "worm cocoon" that only revealed her head.

This was still a trophy that Audis obtained during the first round of attacks launched by the "Moses Ascetic Order" in Backlund.

Although it wasn't high-level, it was very useful at the right time.

For example, now, luring Sandra out was the first step, and tying her up was the second step.

At this time, Audis looked at Sandra's subordinates. Now it was time for the third step.

The pirates didn't expect that in a moment of stunned silence, their first mate had been tied into a "worm cocoon."

But they didn't panic, believing that they had an absolute advantage in numbers.

So under the command of combat captain Bowen, the pirates, who had already drawn their guns, began the first round of volley, and for a time the sound of "peng peng peng" was endless in the forest.

Bazel followed the tactics they had discussed earlier, holding the shield in front of himself and "Captain Gahr," and the bullets all hit the shield.

After one round of volley, the shield was already covered with bullet marks.

At this time, Audis quickly took out two large handfuls of powder from his pocket and scattered them. The powder spread out in the dark forest, and several trees around suddenly disappeared a lot, replaced by hundreds of thick wooden stakes in the air.

At this time, the enemy's first round of volley ended, and the shield was also scrapped as a result.

The next second, the wooden stakes in the air suddenly stabbed towards the pirates.

From the appearance of the wooden stakes to their rapid flight towards them, the speed was too fast, and most people did not react in time and were stabbed by one or several wooden stakes, falling to the ground on the spot and dying.

The remaining people all hid behind the trees.

Audis's attack continued, taking out a red axe from his backpack and throwing it towards the location where combat captain Bowen was hiding.

Bazel also came back to his senses, dropped the shield in his hand, took out another shield, and raised his gun to aim at Sandra, who was struggling.

Suddenly standing behind a tree, Audis said, "Don't attack her."

Bazel immediately understood and lamented how confused he was. If he attacked Sandra, he would give her a chance to use a substitute to escape, so it was better to deal with her at the end.

He didn't react for a moment because he couldn't keep up with Audis's attack pace, or rather, the battle completely exceeded his expectations. He was originally prepared for a fierce battle, but it turned into being an assistant.

Boom~

Just as Bazel understood this, he was pushed back several steps by the huge wave of air.

He was stunned for a moment before he remembered that "Captain Gahr" had reminded him not to panic if he encountered a high-powered explosion.

But he didn't expect the power to be so great. Just now, he thought that a large-caliber naval gun from some warship was firing at this place.

Many wood chips stirred up by the explosion also hit Bazel, but he couldn't care about these minor injuries at this time, because he really couldn't understand how "Captain Gahr" did it?

At this time, Bowen and others were also blasted into a daze. One of the deputy captains was directly blasted away for half of his body, and Bowen was also blasted with serious injuries.

Audis, the only one who was not affected, had already taken out a straight sword from his backpack and ran quickly towards the enemy.

Bazel also reacted and dropped Sandra, quickly following.

In the dark forest, Audis, who had the ability of "Eye of Secrets," still had good vision. He rushed to the tree behind which the enemy was hiding, but found that combat captain Bowen had already limped away for a distance.

Audis casually threw a "Thunderstorm Bomb" at the other enemies.

The pirates, who were hiding behind the tree and pointing their guns at him, were so frightened that they quickly rolled and dodged.

Sizzle~

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

The light swelled, forming a semi-circular arc that flickered non-stop. This arc instantly expanded to about five meters, accommodating the pirates in this range into the arc.

Whether the pirates were crawling on the ground or covering their heads to avoid the explosion, they were all trembling with electricity.

However, the range of the "Thunderstorm Bomb" was limited, and several pirates still escaped, but Bazel had already come over with his shield and continuously fired at them.

Without exception, every shot hit the mark!

Audis then raised his hand and used "Imprisonment" on the fleeing combat captain Bowen!

The air around Bowen suddenly became viscous, trapping him in place, and Audis quickly stepped forward: "Death!"

In fact, Bowen was already seriously injured at this time, and even if he didn't use "Hand of Judgment" to attack, Bowen would hardly escape.

But at this time, of course, he had to use the strongest attack to end the battle as soon as possible. There was still a tied-up "witch" over there that needed to be dealt with.

Bowen was punched by Audis, and when he fell to the ground, he was not far from death.

Audis stabbed the opponent's heart with a sword and released lightning.

The new combat captain of the "Red Lion" pirate crew died instantly.

Audis dragged Bowen's body to the other side of the battlefield.

At this time, Bazel's attack was more like a one-sided massacre.

Just now, he had the cover of the shield, blocking all the pirates' bullets, so he strode forward, walking and shooting at the enemy.

Until the bullets from the three revolvers on his body were all fired, a total of 18 bullets, with the protection of the shield, he easily killed five enemies.

Then he drew his short sword and walked towards those enemies who were still in a "paralyzed" state.

At this time, Audis threw Bowen's body on the battlefield, and he quickly went to deal with Sandra.

But, just a few steps out, orange flames erupted around Shandora, and the hair binding her seemed to fear the flames, quickly retreating back into the small mirror.

Audis didn't continue forward, watching the front with intense focus.

A middle-aged man wearing a captain's hat, with a long mustache and a sinister expression, emerged from the woods.

Bazel, standing to the side, coldly said, "'Red Lion' Taylor."

Taylor sneered at Bazel, then glanced at Audis before making a "retreat" gesture towards Shandora.

Shandora retreated first, Taylor watched the two covering their rear, and soon disappeared into the dark woods.

Except for Bazel, no one spoke throughout the entire process. For Audis, Taylor was at least a Sequence 6. Although he had the 'Hand of Judgment,' who could guarantee that Taylor didn't possess powerful magical items?

Moreover, Shandora had regained her freedom. Two Sequence 7s weren't confident in taking on a Sequence 6 plus a Sequence 7, so under these circumstances, Audis wouldn't proactively attack.

As for Taylor, he didn't know Audis's background. Judging solely from Audis's performance in the previous battle, he knew this guy was not simple.

Therefore, in the absence of clear information, he would choose to retreat.

Audis stared at the direction where they retreated for a while, and after confirming that they had indeed left, he went forward to pick up the mirror.

He then said to Bazel, who was standing there clenching his fist, "Very good."

The worst-case scenario just now was that Bazel failed to maintain his sanity and charged towards the enemy.

In that case, Audis would have had to bite the bullet and fight them.

Bazel exhaled a long breath, as if all the strength in his body had been used up, and then said to Audis, "I'll join your pirate crew. Please, you must help me get revenge."

Seeing Taylor just now made Bazel realize the gap between himself and Taylor again.

He originally thought that after advancing to Sequence 7, the gap would narrow a lot, but the reality was not like that. The gap between the two was still very large.

And 'Captain Gahr's' composure and strength changed his previous view.

In Bazel's opinion, enemies that he couldn't deal with alone and could only seek help from strangers were completely crushed by this 'Captain Gahr.' Bazel was very clear that he had only played a supporting role just now.

Even the sudden appearance of 'Red Lion' Taylor didn't make 'Captain Gahr' show any panic. This was a manifestation of sufficient confidence in his own strength.

"I promise you, in the near future, I will help you get revenge," Audis said, "And you, from now on, are my first mate."

Bazel immediately said, "Yes, Captain Gahr."

Audis felt that this "Captain Gahr" sounded very satisfying. He smiled and ordered, "Now, quickly collect the spoils of war, and let's leave this place as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he scattered a handful of bone-white powder. These powders had some "Death" pathway abilities that could accelerate the extraction of extraordinary characteristics.

They cut off all the heads of the wanted criminals. Although they failed to capture Shandora, there were still two wanted pirates among the dead pirates, with a combined bounty of 700 pounds.

At this time, the extraordinary characteristics had basically been extracted.

Audis collected these extraordinary characteristics, and the two quickly separated and returned to Bayam.

More than an hour later, Audis returned to the 'Wizard Office'. He briefly looked at the gains of the night, which included a 'Weapon Master' characteristic, a 'Raging Citizen' characteristic, and a 'Provoker' characteristic.

In addition, there were also three Sequence 9 characteristics, two 'Hunter' characteristics, and one 'Sailor' characteristic.

The 'Sailor' and 'Raging Citizen' characteristics were easy to sell at sea, and both could fetch a good price.

However, the other characteristics were not so easy to sell and needed to be kept on hand for a while.

Another hour or so passed, and Bazel also returned: "Captain, I have handed over those heads to the navy, and the bounty will be available in the next two days."
