Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Chapter 241: Audis Gahr's Messenger

Beverly, who was chasing from behind, saw Rupert casually toss a scroll and shout, "Art!"

In that instant, Beverly's spirituality immediately sensed danger, so she dodged slightly to the side.

It was only a slight dodge, because in her opinion, how much power could a scroll possibly have?

Boom!

Beverly was blasted seven or eight meters into the air. If it had been an ordinary person, she would have been blown to pieces by now.

A large section of the surrounding morning market was destroyed, with burning wood and rags flying further away, igniting more of the makeshift stalls.

In front, Rupert, who had been overturned by the blast wave and rolled around clumsily several times, was somewhat dazed: Was that a scroll I just threw? Why didn't that guy remind me that his scrolls had so much power? Wasn't he afraid of killing me too?

After a brief moment of confusion, Rupert quickly sat up and looked back at Beverly.

At this moment, she had been blasted beyond recognition, her intestines and internal organs spilling all over the ground, completely lacking the elegance of a woman.

However, Beverly was not dead. Not only that, but she also suddenly stood up, scooped up her internal organs, and looked at Rupert with blood-red eyes.

For a "Potion Professor," even with such severe injuries, she could still fight.

Rupert quickly scrambled away from there, and soon he realized that Beverly was not chasing him.

He guessed that Beverly was probably afraid that the explosion would attract official Beyonders, and in her current state, it would be difficult to escape.

Arriving at an open-air bar, Rupert ordered a beer and drank half of it in one gulp before feeling alive again.

Feeling the pain all over his body, Rupert sighed inwardly: He really found the right person, but he didn't expect to escape in this way.

Then he thought that "Foodie" Gahr was an unusual person and that he should find an opportunity to interact with him more... Perhaps, he could also ask him for help with that matter.

...

Bayam, the latter part of Lily Avenue.

After receiving the news from Rupert, Audis immediately came to Lily Avenue to see if he could find Old Quinn.

Because he only had a rough address, and it wasn't easy to ask around... To be precise, there was no one on the street at this time.

So Audis quietly climbed onto the clock tower, observing the surroundings.

He planned to observe the surrounding environment and come back to search tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Boom!

At this moment, a distant explosion echoed throughout Bayam.

It immediately triggered countless barks, exclamations, and the sounds of people going out to investigate.

Even the bronze bell on the clock tower where Audis was located was slightly shaken.

He glanced in the direction of the explosion: It sounded a bit like an "Explosion Scroll"! Did Rupert use the scroll so quickly?

Then Audis smiled: Hopefully he wasn't injured by the explosion.

At this time, Audis had already memorized the surrounding terrain. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that people were constantly coming out of the surrounding houses to check the source of the explosion.

With a thought, he lowered himself slightly and carefully observed the people who came out to check, using the moonlight.

Soon, Audis found his target.

In an inconspicuous small courtyard, a young man was carrying a lantern and coming out to check, followed by an old man with gray hair, dressed as a local.

This old man was Old Quinn.

He came out and took a look, and after discovering that the explosion was far away from here, he told the young man with the lantern to continue observing outside, while he himself went back in.

Audis nimbly went down from the clock tower. After advancing, the corresponding abilities of the "Combat Scholar" also improved, and he became much more agile.

Audis quickly passed through the people who were pointing and discussing what had just happened, and quickly approached the small courtyard he remembered.

After observing for a while, Audis opened his leather bag and took out an "Invisibility Scroll."

After advancing to "Scroll Professor," not only was the power of the scrolls much greater than witchcraft, but he could also create scrolls with effects such as "Invisibility" and "Sleep."

Of course, the effects of these scrolls were much weaker than the abilities of Beyonders of the corresponding pathways, but if used properly, they could also have unexpected effects.

Just like the "Invisibility Scroll," the invisibility effect was no match for that of a "Witch." After all, after a "Witch" became invisible, she would not make any sound whether she was walking or running.

Audis, on the other hand, had to be careful himself, otherwise it would be easy to make noise, and there was also no way to hide his scent.

In addition, the theories behind the two were also different. The "Invisibility" of a "Witch" was the disappearance of oneself under the effect of extraordinary abilities.

Audis's "Invisibility Scroll," on the other hand, was only optical invisibility. It could be understood that, at this moment, Audis could suddenly be penetrated by light, becoming transparent.

The people around him could not capture the light reflected by his body, so naturally they could not see him.

Therefore, in Audis's opinion, the "Invisibility Scroll" was mainly to catch the opponent off guard, and he shouldn't expect to hide from the spirituality and senses of Beyonders for a long time.

Audis recited the word "Hide" in Ancient Hermes, and the scroll in his hand shattered, as if forming a dark vortex, making Audis's figure quickly become transparent.

While Audis was marveling at the effectiveness of the scroll, he also thought that he should standardize the incantations of his scrolls, otherwise if each scroll had a different incantation, he would have to distinguish them at that time, which might waste crucial time.

Thinking of this, Audis focused his attention and stopped thinking wildly, and flipped over the courtyard wall.

At this time, the young man carrying the lantern was still carefully listening to the conversations of the people outside, hoping to find some useful information.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear some sound, looked in the direction of the courtyard wall, but there was nothing there, so the young man didn't pay attention to it.

Audis passed the young man and glanced into the house. There were only Old Quinn and three or four thugs inside.

They were not asleep yet, and were playing cards.

As soon as Audis entered the door, Old Quinn immediately looked towards the door. Although he didn't see anything, the old guy had already become vigilant.

In an invisible state, Audis quickly took out a "Sleep Scroll" from his leather bag, recited the corresponding incantation, and threw it on the card table.

The moment he heard Audis's incantation, Old Quinn jumped back abruptly.

He didn't know what kind of attack the enemy was using, but to be safe, it was better to dodge first.

However, his dodging action was still a beat too slow. He saw a scroll shatter on the card table, emitting a light that made people feel peaceful. Old Quinn immediately felt very sleepy, and only by struggling against the drowsiness did he not fall asleep.

The others on the card table, however, immediately collapsed on the table and fell into a deep sleep.

Audis quickly stepped forward and kicked Old Quinn to the ground, while the invisible state was also lifted. Audis, wearing a suit and carrying a leather bag around his waist, appeared in front of Old Quinn.

He stepped on Old Quinn's chest, who was struggling against the drowsiness, and slowly put on the "Hand of Judgment."

Old Quinn immediately felt that the young man in front of him had become much taller and more dignified. The pressure he exuded even made Old Quinn feel as if a boulder was pressing on his chest, making it difficult to breathe.

His drowsiness disappeared, but his spirit body seemed to be exposed in front of this young man without any protection.

And the young man seemed to be wielding a leather whip in his hand, as if he could lash his spirit body at any time, causing terrifying pain and harm.

Audis coldly asked, "Do you know 'Silver Coin Serpent' Odell?"

"I know him!" Old Quinn felt that only by telling the truth could his spirit body feel better: "It is said that he... he works for 'Mysterious Queen'."

After saying that, Old Quinn's face was already flushed, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead.

Audis smiled and said, "How is it? Just thinking about concealing something has already made you so uncomfortable. Do you want to experience the feeling of lying?"

Faced with overwhelming strength, Old Quinn immediately shook his head.

Audis continued: "Why do you think I came to ask you about 'Silver Coin Serpent'? I'll give you five seconds to consider it yourself, and then tell me who that guy is actually working for?

"Five, four..."

As an intelligence officer, Old Quinn, although only Sequence 9, has been engaged in intelligence work for many years, allowing him to know a lot of information about secret organizations.

Under great pressure, his mind suddenly became active, recalling the scroll that had just appeared on the card table.

This made Old Quinn think of a lot of information about "Dawn of Elements," such as many members of this organization making scrolls with various magical abilities.

He immediately understood what was going on: It seemed that some of Odell's actions had angered some members of "Dawn of Elements," which made them send someone to investigate Odell's purpose.

So when Audis had just counted to "Two," Old Quinn quickly said, "He... he is actually serving 'Blood Admiral.'

"Pretending to work for 'Mysterious Queen' was... was his own clever idea, a way to hide his identity."

Audis nodded in satisfaction: "Very good."

As he spoke, he withdrew his foot, seemingly about to leave.

Old Quinn, who felt as if he had been granted amnesty, immediately struggled to sit up. What he didn't expect was that Audis suddenly bent down and slammed Old Quinn's head with gray hair, snapping his neck in one fell swoop.

Audis had just "Hidden" himself to prevent any important subordinates of "Blood Admiral" from being in the house.

After realizing there was only a Sequence 9 here, there was no need to waste a scroll.

Old Quinn twitched all over, his eyes fixed on Audis, as if cursing the murderer with his gaze.

Audis said, "The subordinates of the 'Blood Admiral' are never good people."

As he spoke, he strode into the yard. The young man holding the lantern saw Audis, and before he could react, Audis kicked him, sending him flying and knocking him unconscious on the spot.

Audis didn't plan to leave anyone alive. He took out the dagger he carried with him, preparing to end these people's lives.

It wasn't that he was afraid of being targeted by the 'Blood Admiral,' but that the 'Blood Admiral's' pirate group was known for its bloodthirst and killing. His subordinates' hands were also covered in blood, and they deserved to die.

Audis had just killed the young man in the yard and was about to go into the house to kill those thugs when, as soon as he reached the door, his spirituality sensed that something was wrong.

Without hesitation, he immediately retreated from the house, quietly observing the situation inside.

After all, Old Quinn served the 'Blood Admiral,' who was backed by the 'Rose School,' and the background of this secret organization was even more terrifying.

Audis was afraid that something strange would be triggered after Old Quinn died. If the danger continued to spread, he planned to throw an 'Explosion Scroll' into the house to attract the attention of the official Beyonders, and then leave immediately.

But the danger didn't seem to continue to spread. At this moment, Audis's spirituality sensed something and looked at the stone door locked with iron chains.

He had seen this stone door when he first entered, but because he didn't feel any danger, he didn't pay much attention to it.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a loud shout from inside the stone door, and a huge force suddenly broke the iron chains, and the stone door suddenly opened.

Inside the room was a man with deep features, rugged contours, and dark blue hair. He smiled slightly when he saw the people outside lying on the table.

But when he saw that the characteristics on Old Quinn's body were already析出, his eyes narrowed, and after a brief search, he found Audis in the yard with a leather bag tied around his waist.

And at this moment, Audis was also a little dazed: This guy looks a bit familiar, ah… Could it be 'Hanged Man' Alger? What's he doing here… Wait a minute, Old Quinn, the 'Blood Admiral's' intelligence officer… Could Gehrman Sparrow be the First Mate hunting the 'Blood Admiral' tonight?

That was indeed Alger, and it was indeed the First Mate "Iron" Maeve, who was cooperating with "The World" to hunt the "Blood Admiral" tonight.

Just now, Alger received a notification from "The World" that the hunt had been successful, so he released the "anesthetic gas" he had traded from "The Moon" to prepare for a massacre.

The danger that Audis's spirituality sensed just now was the danger of those "anesthetic gases."

At this time, Alger couldn't determine whether the young man in the yard was friend or foe for a while, and he couldn't determine the other party's strength, so he chose to wait and see for the time being.

The two stood there staring at each other for two or three seconds, like a standoff.

Audis, with the "God's perspective," reacted first: "If you're not Old Quinn's accomplice, throw out his body. That's my trophy."

His words first indicated that he had just killed Old Quinn and was not with them, so there would be no misunderstanding.

Secondly, he clarified his purpose, lest Alger misjudge.

At this time, after Alger saw the corpse in the yard, he probably understood what was going on.

So he cautiously threw Old Quinn's body into the yard, watched the young man with the leather bag around his waist put away Old Quinn's characteristics, and then tipped his hat slightly towards him, bidding him a polite farewell.

It wasn't until the young man left the yard that Alger quickly killed the thugs around the card table, then rummaged through the place and left immediately.

…

Audis quickly left the small courtyard. He slightly raised the corner of his mouth, not expecting that today's action would encounter another Tarot Club member.

Then Audis thought: Klein made a lot of money from tonight's hunt! He finally became a little richer after coming to the sea, and can be considered to have temporarily escaped the shadow of the "God of Poverty."

Lost in thought, he came to a deserted street corner and used the "Travel Ring" to return to the Emerald Palace on Raxia Island.

Although he "clarified" the true allegiance of the "Silver Coin Serpent" today, he planned to wait until tomorrow or the day after before going to Bayam again, and then report the information he had clarified to the "Mysterious Queen," in order to show that this task was not so easy to complete.

Then Audis took out the characteristics析出 from Old Quinn and glanced at it. At this time, his "Secrets of Seeing Eye" could already see that this was a Sequence 9 level characteristic.

He went to the "Wilderness of Knowledge" again to appraise it, and confirmed that it was a "Prisoner" characteristic.

Audis casually threw this characteristic onto the storage rack in the room. For him, this characteristic was not easy to sell, so he would put it here for now.

Returning to the real world and lying on the bed, Audis carefully recalled Klein's recent movements: "Sea God" Kalvetua is about to receive a lunch box recently, followed by getting in touch with "Iceberg Admiral"\n…

Audis thought: Should I establish contact with "Iceberg Admiral" through Klein?

In addition to fulfilling his own wishes and going to sea to be a pirate recently, he also has an important task: to establish contact with the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom as soon as possible.

Audis believes that his research will definitely attract the attention of the Knowledge Church. If he also has the protection of the Knowledge Church, then he will not have to be afraid of the "God of Steam and Machinery" and the "Hidden Sage."

But then he thought about it and felt that this was not a good idea, because Gehrman Sparrow is a very individual person and would affect the "Iceberg Admiral's" first impression of him.

After thinking about it, Audis still planned to find another opportunity.

Then he took a deep breath: Then the important task for the next few days is to organize an intelligence exchange meeting.

As for the "Sea God" Kalvetua incident, Audis didn't plan to intervene. After all, he didn't have the abilities of "The Fool" and couldn't find Kalvetua's hiding place, so he couldn't get any benefits from it.

Moreover, if Audis is too enthusiastic about this, it will easily attract the attention of the Storm Church.

However, the struggle between "Sea King" and "Sea God" in the next few days can be used as important intelligence and announced at the intelligence exchange meeting to shock the audience.

But what needs to be noted is that the final result cannot be said, otherwise, the "Punishers" will definitely invite him to tea.

If you only talk about the process, the "Punishers" will at most ask a question or two, and may even only ask Bishop Dean to understand the situation.

After all, the process of the struggle between the two is so obvious that people with relevant extraordinary knowledge can guess what is going on.

Unmistakably, first one, first one, first one, first content, first one, first look!

Thinking and thinking, Audis fell asleep like this.

On Thursday morning, Audis first went to the shipyard. There wasn't much to do today, and he returned to the Emerald Palace around ten o'clock.

Just as Audis was considering whether to take a rest or go to Bayam, he suddenly thought that he should get a messenger as soon as possible, so that it would be more convenient to contact several people in Backlund.

Audis has the relevant knowledge to obtain a messenger, but before Sequence 6, he was afraid of summoning some malicious existence, and he didn't have the ability to protect himself.

So before this, he had not performed the ritual to obtain a messenger.

Having some time today, Audis took candles and spiritual materials and came to a deserted island.

After carefully recalling the process of summoning a messenger, Audis lit the candles on the ground, and then solemnly said in Ancient Hermes: "I!

"In my name, I summon:

"A spirit wandering in falsehood, a friendly creature that can be driven, willing to be my messenger."

With Klein's "demonstration" of the messenger summoning recruitment fair, Audis directly used such a spell to see what he could summon.

Whoosh!

A gust of yin wind blew past, making Audis feel a sense of gloom under the scorching sun, and at the same time, the flame of the candle turned into a gloomy green.

But Audis didn't see anything in front of him. Just when he thought the summoning had failed, his spirituality sensed that there was actually a creature in front of him, but it was in a state similar to invisibility.

This is also good, it is very hidden whether it is to win trust or send letters.

Audis smiled and said, "Would you be willing to be my messenger?"

At this time, a cool breeze suddenly blew on his neck, making him shiver.

Audis thought that the other party was going to be disadvantageous to him and was about to leave with the "Travel Ring," but he thought that he had not felt the other party's malice.

After thinking about it for a while, he understood that this was the way the other party answered him.

This made him slap his forehead, forgetting to add the description "can communicate."

So he said embarrassedly: "Your state will be a very good messenger, but we can't communicate. I'm sorry, this does not meet my requirements.

"But I won't let you come for nothing. I have prepared a spiritually rich gift here. Please take it back to the Spirit World to enjoy."

The reason why Audis is so polite is because he is not the master of the "Source Castle" above the Spirit World. Perhaps only Klein can summon multiple times, and no Spirit World creature dares to complain.

In order not to cause trouble, Audis prepared several bottles of spiritually rich essential oils, which are the favorite "food" of creatures in the Spirit World.

Sure enough, after receiving the gift, the "invisible" existence disappeared. After Audis ended the summoning, the color of the candle returned to orange-yellow, and the surrounding coldness also disappeared.

Audiss moved his arms and cleared his throat, continuing the summoning: “I!

“I summon in my name:

“Spirits wandering in the void, friendly creatures that can be driven, who can communicate in language, and are willing to be my messengers.”

The candle flame turned greenish-gray again, and the surroundings became cold again.

At this time, the candle flame grew larger, and a tentacle stretched out from it, followed by a bizarre-looking creature crawling out. It moved with tentacles, but it grew a human-like torso and head, only without arms.

Moreover, the head only had three mouths.

After appearing in front of Audiss, one of the mouths said: “Are you summoning me?”

Before Audiss could answer, the middle mouth had already opened: “Nonsense, is there a second person here?”

The third mouth said: “What if there is another person, but in a state of invisibility?”

The middle mouth said unconvinced: “Why would he be performing the ritual in a state of invisibility?”

The third mouth said: “Maybe he just has such a hobby.”

… …

Audiss stretched out his hand: Hey, hey, hey, I asked you to communicate with me in language, not to communicate with yourselves, big brothers! Also, are you Medici reincarnated? You have mouths on one head, why are you still arguing?

He quickly interrupted the three mouths: "This… … no, three, I'm sorry, you don't quite meet my requirements, so please… …"

“What?” The first one had a rogue-like tone: “You summoned us here, and then you say we don’t meet the requirements?”

But the three mouths did not "unite against the outside world." The second mouth said: "I knew it, there would be no good result being together with you guys."

The third mouth also said: "Mainly because you two talk too much, which makes the person who summoned us annoyed."

The first mouth also refused to be outdone: "Although I am a little better than you, I am far inferior to you in terms of shirking responsibility."

… …

It wasn't until Audiss took out the prepared, spiritually rich essential oil that the three mouths closed at the same time.

Audiss quickly said: “I won’t let you come here for nothing. I have prepared a spiritually rich gift for you… … the three of you to take back to the spirit world to enjoy.”

The three mouths said in unison: “Good stuff!”

As they spoke, they stretched out their tentacles and wrapped around the bottle of essential oil.

Audiss quickly said in ancient Hermes language: “I!

“I end this summoning in my name.”

The candlelight suddenly grew larger, and a suction force dragged the three-mouthed monster into it, disappearing from the real world.

Audiss breathed a sigh of relief: “Fortunately, I was prepared.”

Otherwise, his messenger might have to tell the sender a segment of 'Stripping the Mandarin Jacket' every time he delivers a letter before doing serious work.

Audiss carefully pondered for a moment before summoning for the third time: “I!

“I summon in my name:

“Spirits wandering in the void, friendly creatures that can be driven, who can communicate normally, and are willing to be my messengers.”

Whoosh~

The gloomy wind blew again, the candlelight turned green and enlarged, and a leg stepped out from it.

Audiss breathed a sigh of relief. It was a normal human-shaped leg, wearing trousers and leather boots. This time, it should be right.

When the other party came out completely, Audiss was stunned again.

The guy summoned this time was wearing a classical lady's hunting suit, with beautiful long black hair, a dark beret, and leather gloves.

These all looked normal, but the only thing was that the head was a skull, the kind without any flesh.

“Are you summoning me?” the other party asked, opening a mouth with only teeth.

Audiss came back to his senses. There was a colorful light in the skull's head, obviously intelligent.

“Yes.” He cleared his throat: “Um, I am… … let’s not talk about other things, I’m very curious, what organ do you use to make a sound?”

The other party replied: “Spirituality.”

Audiss nodded slowly, thinking: Except for being a skeleton, everything else is quite normal.

But he was just afraid that the recipient would be frightened when delivering the letter.

Just as Audiss was hesitating, the skeleton said again: “I know you.”

Audiss thought: You're not going to say that I killed you, are you?

He quickly said: “Sorry, I don’t remember killing… … meeting you.”

“The murderer is not you.” The skeleton said: “You want a messenger, right? I’m the most suitable.”

Audiss was stunned: “Why do you say that?”

“If you have a need, I can help you contact the ‘Omniscient and Almighty Lord’.” Although the skeleton had no flesh and could not make expressions, Audiss could feel that the other party was speaking very frankly.

Audiss smiled: “You may not know it yet, but He has fallen for many years.”

“No, He has not completely fallen.” The skeleton said very certainly: “Whether it is humanity or divinity, I can contact Him.”

Audiss was immediately very surprised. You must know that this is the highest secret of the "Ancient Sun God," "True Creator," and Adam. He usually doesn't even dare to think about it.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: “You… … who are you?”

The skeleton said: “Guess.”

Then she said: “I can also help you find Amon and let Him… …"

Audiss quickly stopped her: “I’m asking you to be my messenger!”

Let Him come and destroy me?

Don't joke like that, that guy is too scary!

The skeleton in the hunting suit stopped talking and waited quietly.

Audiss took a deep breath and said according to the ritual: “Are you willing to sign a contract and become my messenger?”

The skeleton took off her beret: “Yes.

“But I have a request.”

Audiss said: “Tell me.”

“After you become a demigod, help me find my characteristics.” The skeleton said: “But if you fail to advance to a demigod, then just treat it as me being your postman for free.”

Audiss was slightly stunned: “Madam, your request sounds like a very dangerous action. I just want you to help me deliver a letter.”

“For you, it shouldn’t be too dangerous.” The skeleton said: “I can provide you with some help. Of course, if you feel it is very dangerous, you can leave and go after you are ready.

“In addition, this process will definitely bring you some benefits. It is not a loss for you.”

Audiss thought for a while before saying: “I need to have the right to postpone the search and refuse, otherwise I dare not sign an agreement with you.”

The skeleton laughed: “Sometimes, you are too cautious.”

Audiss took a deep breath and said: “This way, I can live longer.”

“Okay.” The skeleton said cheerfully: “You have the right to refuse and postpone.”

Audiss then said: “Let’s sign the contract.”

This skeleton is obviously not an ordinary creature from the spirit world. Audiss still prefers to sign a contract with her.

Audiss had already prepared the contract, and the terms included that the messenger must not peep at the letters, discard the letters, endanger the contractor's life, and so on.

Audiss took out the parchment, added the content they had just discussed, and specifically stated that he could refuse or postpone the search.

In order to make this contract have enough binding force, Audiss added the venerable name of the underworld, which is equivalent to letting the underworld act as a witness.

Finally, Audiss signed his name: Audiss Gall.

After signing, the skeleton waved her hand, picked up the pen and signed her name: Ailebella Stiano.

Stiano!

Audiss’s eyes narrowed. He remembered that this seemed to be the surname of the “God of Steam and Machinery”!
