Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

The previous battle perfectly illustrated the concept that Audis had always adhered to: only a "Seer" with sufficient preparation is a qualified "Seer."

The "Wizard" and the "Scroll Professor" were both like this. It was precisely because he understood the "Rose School" that he made a lot of preparations, making the development of the situation smoother than Audis had expected.

Even Audis himself hadn't expected that his side could chase after the opponent and beat them up before that "Wraith" was severely injured.

But he didn't pursue them relentlessly, but instead used the "Ice and Snow Scroll" to trap the seven "Rose School" members who had just been trapped and seriously injured by the scroll, and then went forward with Bazel to solve them one by one.

The power of the "Explosion Scroll" was too great. The "Werewolf", known for its defense, and the "Vampire", known for its recovery ability, couldn't withstand it. Although they didn't die on the spot, they basically lost their combat effectiveness.

To their surprise, among the enemies who were seriously injured by the explosion, there was actually a "Ghoul". His situation was a little better than the "Werewolf" and "Vampire", at least he could maintain a certain amount of combat power.

But he was very unlucky in that both of his legs were blown away, so he couldn't escape and was easily taken care of by Audis who returned to the ground from the sky.

The two of them tacitly piled the corpses together, and then used Audis's special powder to accelerate the precipitation of Extraordinary characteristics.

Kleist looked at the corpses lined up together, some with missing arms and legs: "I didn't expect that the battle just now could drive them away."

And with such great results.

Audis smiled as he searched for spoils: "Such opportunities are rare."

The "Rose School" members who had been blown up just now looked quite miserable, and their clothes were blown to pieces. Only a magical item and a few Extraordinary weapons were collected as spoils.

In addition, Extraordinary weapons were also collected from the five relatively intact corpses.

This made Audis feel a little strange, suspecting that they had kidnapped a "Craftsman" to manufacture weapons for them day and night?

Soon, Extraordinary characteristics quickly precipitated. After collecting them one by one, Audis glanced at the battlefield again. It was as if a modern war had taken place here. Several large pits were blown out of the roads and farmland, blood stained a large area of the ground red, and broken arms and limbs fell silently on the ground.

Immediately, Audis used an "Acceleration Scroll" again. The group came to the railway and walked a distance along the railway in the opposite direction to Bayam. Audis first used "Travel" to send Kleist and Leona back to Bayam.

Before leaving, Audis gave the remaining two "Defense Scrolls" and one "Acceleration Scroll" to Bazel and Rupert.

After sending Kleist and the others back to the Wizard's Office and asking the two newly recruited attendants to take care of them, Audis immediately returned and found that Rupert had already used a "Defense Scroll".

Because "Crimson Scholar" Donic and the "Wraith" who had lost a leg had quietly followed them.

Although these two Sequence 5s were injured, Rupert and Bazel were still no match for them.

After Audis and the other three left, they originally wanted to try to attack. Rupert quickly used a "Defense Scroll" to deter the enemy.

Donic was a little better. Seeing that the enemy was using a scroll, he didn't react much and continued to confront them.

The "Wraith" saw that the other party had used a scroll again, and almost fell to the side. He was really scared by Audis's powerful scroll.

Seeing that his companion didn't attack, Donic didn't take the initiative to attack either.

So they all chose to wait and see, and watched Audis use "Travel" to take Bazel and Rupert away.

Back at the Wizard's Office, the group breathed a sigh of relief.

Rupert smiled and said: "The battle just now was too magical."

Especially when the five people flew up together, the battle was actually no longer suspenseful.

Not only Rupert, but everyone else didn't expect the battle to develop in that direction.

But in Extraordinary battles, it doesn't seem surprising that the side with more methods can put on such a wonderful battle.

Audis first asked the two attendants to go out for a while. He took off his coat, lamented that he had ruined a suit, and dealt with his wounds.

He only had some skin trauma on his body. After sprinkling some external medicine powder, it was no big deal.

The wound on Balzel's shoulder was a bit troublesome, because the "Vampire's" claws contained a certain amount of Extraordinary toxins.

Audis took out the magical item "Biological Waistband" from the "Knowledge Wilderness". This was a Sealed Artifact of the "Cultivator" pathway given to him by Silver City. One of the main abilities was to heal various traumas.

So Audis treated Bazel's wound. Because he was wearing the "Biological Waistband", he also possessed some Extraordinary medical knowledge and configured some powder with some spiritual materials to apply to Bazel.

Then Audis skillfully stitched up Leona's wound, and after looking at the sarcoma on Kleist's stomach again, he said: "I am confident that I can remove it for you."

Kleist smiled weakly: "Then let's start quickly."

Audis directed Bazel and Rupert to lift Kleist onto the table and lie down. He took out the dagger he carried with him. Although it was not as easy to use as a scalpel, it was acceptable.

He first used spirituality to perform a purification similar to the beginning of a ritual, creating a sterile environment. Audis used the power of the "Biological Waistband" to start cutting.

As soon as he cut open Kleist's belly, Audis found that some parts of the sarcoma facing inward were already growing together with Kleist's internal organs.

It seemed that it was absorbing nutrients from Kleist's body through those connected places.

Audis had no choice but to cut off a small part of the internal organs as well. Because of the help of Extraordinary abilities, Kleist did not feel any pain throughout the process and was chatting peacefully with Audis.

Audis asked them what their plans were for the future?

"Hide in Bayam." Kleist said: "The 'Rose School' attack before was very sudden. Our tracks were betrayed by traitors, and we were attacked without any precautions.

"It doesn't matter now. We will hide again. They will definitely not be able to find us in this huge city."

Audis just said "Oh".

Kleist then asked: "What are your plans?

"I mean, you killed so many people from the 'Rose School' today. They will definitely retaliate against you."

"I don't usually stay in Bayam very much." Audis said: "In addition, Bayam is different from before. I plan to report two 'Rose School' strongholds to the Church of the Night Goddess."

This was information that Audis had deduced from some clues at the previous intelligence exchange meeting.

The reason why he didn't immediately report it to the Church was because Audis hadn't made up his mind at that time to become hostile to the "Rose School".

It wasn't that Audis had any illusions about the "Rose School". It was purely because there was no need to actively provoke these lunatics when he first arrived in Bayam.

But if he encountered members of the "Rose School", Audis would not hesitate to kill them. After all, there were not many organizations that were so bad and were also "Outer God lackeys".

Now, this information can be used.

Donic and the "Wraith" who were injured today should be high-level members of the "Rose School" on Blue Mountain Island.

This time, so many people died in Takar, and the stronghold in Bayam was removed by the official Extraordinary. The "Rose School" will need some time to gather manpower before they come to retaliate against Audis.

As for the probability of the other party sending a demigod to retaliate is not high, after all, their demigods are also very busy. At this time, the "Rose School's" demigod in the Raging Sea should be busy looking for the whereabouts of the "School of Life" members, and has no time to care about a Sequence 6's affairs.

When Audis goes to sea, there will be even more room for maneuver. While the other party is gathering manpower to Bayam, he can attack the "Rose School's" forces in other ports.

The more Audis thought about it, the more excited he became. He didn't expect that the "guerrilla tactics" in his mind could be used here.

While thinking wildly, Audis had already taken out the sarcoma and put it into the iron basin prepared by Rupert.

Then Audis sutured Kleist's internal organs and restored them to their original positions.

Finally, after suturing the belly, the wound quickly approached healing.

Audis wiped his hands and looked at the sarcoma in the iron basin that seemed to be moving around: "This is a good thing that can be used for abilities such as 'curses'."

Kleist touched the wound on his belly and said: "Then I'll give it to you."

Audis nodded: "Okay."

He does have several curses, but they are almost useless.

Because he kills any enemy he can face to face, and if he can't kill them, curses are unlikely to kill them either.

However, Audis thought of using this kind of evil creature to make spiritual materials and invent a few scrolls with evil abilities.

After treating everyone's injuries, Rupert said to Audis: "Captain, I will come to the Wizard's Office every day after this to make it easier to receive orders."

Audis nodded: "We may be able to go to sea this week, but the specific date has not been set yet."

After sending Rupert and the others away, Austis and Bazel closed the door and took out the spoils of this battle to start dividing them.

This time, the spoils included 1 Sealed Artifact, 12 Extraordinary characteristics, and 8 Extraordinary weapons.

Bazel said: "I only want Extraordinary weapons."

He was very clear that today's results were all thanks to "Captain Gahr". He was just an assistant by the side.

Audis was not polite, because it was indeed he who severely injured the two Sequence 5s that led to this situation.

Moreover, he relied entirely on his scrolls during the subsequent battles, to the point where he almost used them all up.

After dividing the spoils of war, Basel immediately encountered another problem: what were the abilities of those extraordinary weapons?

Odis's spirituality sensed something, and he put on the newly acquired Sealed Artifact, shaped like an exquisite mechanical pocket watch. Sure enough, it granted him the ability to identify extraordinary weapons.

This Sealed Artifact was aligned with "The Craftsman"!

No wonder the enemies encountered today had such a high rate of extraordinary weapon possession; it turned out to be because of this Sealed Artifact.

Basel quickly numbered those weapons and recorded their corresponding abilities.

These extraordinary weapons were easy to sell, and buyers could be found quickly. A full eight pieces—that's a considerable sum of money!

Because Odis was still unclear about the "pocket watch's" negative effects, he quickly took it off after using it.

Odis wrote down the locations of the two "Rose School" strongholds and asked Basel to hand them over to Bishop Deane, saying to him, "I need to go back and finish building the new ship as soon as possible. You stay here for the next few days."

"If you detect the 'Rose School' coming to make trouble, notify me immediately."

Basel nodded, "Okay."

Although Odis gave these instructions, he also knew that the "Rose School" couldn't possibly come knocking so quickly. They would have to first determine who Klein had brought in as help, and then inquire about the whereabouts of "Captain" and Basel.

If they only saw Basel, they would most likely observe him to see if they could find "Captain's" whereabouts before taking any action.

After all, they were lunatics, but not idiots.

Odis took all the spoils and returned to Emerald Palace.

After resting for a while, he went to "Knowledge Wilderness" to check the Sealed Artifact he had just acquired. Using the authority of "Knowledge Wilderness," Odis realized that it was indeed a Sealed Artifact aligned with "The Craftsman."

Its abilities were: It could identify the abilities and negative effects of Sealed Artifacts and extraordinary weapons; wearing it allowed one to create extraordinary weapons.

Odis was slightly stunned, meaning that this Sealed Artifact could only create extraordinary weapons and could not use extraordinary characteristics to create mystical items.

Only one of "The Craftsman's" two most important abilities.

Moreover, the identification results also depended on the level of the Sealed Artifact. For Sealed Artifacts aligned with Sequence 6 or below, it could identify all abilities and negative effects.

At the Sequence 5 level, it could only identify some abilities or negative effects.

It couldn't identify the abilities or negative effects of Grade 1 Sealed Artifacts.

Overall, the ability was quite ordinary.

But in comparison, the negative effects were not very strong either: as long as you wore the Sealed Artifact, you would often enter a selfless state of work; if someone belittled the extraordinary weapon made by the wearer, you would immediately fall into a state of anger, rushing up to fight the other party regardless of everything. Removing the Sealed Artifact for three hours would avoid this state of anger.

Odis smiled: No wonder they seized so many extraordinary weapons; it turned out that one of the negative effects was that it was easy to become a "model worker."

Neither of these two negative effects was significant. Originally, the second effect was indeed a problem, because generally speaking, after a companion received an extraordinary weapon made by the wearer, as long as they were a normal person, they would only praise it.

Only enemies would belittle those weapons. If, during a battle, he heard an enemy belittle the weapon in the hands of the Sealed Artifact wearer, he would rush up to fight the other party desperately, which would be too dangerous.

Fortunately, this negative effect would disappear three hours after removing the mystical item.

Odis was about to put this mystical item on the storage shelf, but at this moment, he suddenly sat up straight: "I need such a mystical item!"

Those extraordinary weapons he made couldn't actually be called extraordinary weapons; they were just a kind of utilization of magic arrays, or rather, just some mobile magic arrays!

The power of those weapons could be even greater, and the abilities could be even more diverse, but limited by his own abilities, he could only achieve that effect!

With this mystical item, things would be different. Odis could improve the current method of making extraordinary weapons, allowing the extraordinary weapons he made to reach a new level.

Odis stood up excitedly, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more ideas he had.

But in the end, he took a deep breath and could only be patient for a little longer, because his most important task in the next few days was to get his ship launched as soon as possible.

He had designed a studio for himself on the ship, and when he was drifting on the sea, he would have plenty of time to realize his ideas.

After putting the mystical item on the shelf, Odis thought: Generally speaking, this kind of functional mystical item should be placed in a safe place and not brought to the battlefield.

Since it was seized in Tocal, it proved that the "Rose School" members in Bayam had almost come out in full force, attacking the hidden "Life School" extraordinaries with the help of the traitor.

Unexpectedly, such a mystical item was seized by Odis from a Sequence 6 member.

Odis went to check those extraordinary characteristics again. This time, he seized a Sequence 6 "Living Corpse" characteristic.

The most were Sequence 7 characteristics: 3 "Vampire" characteristics and 3 "Werewolf" characteristics.

The remaining were 3 "Madman" characteristics and 2 "Beast Tamer" characteristics.

Those "Low-Sequence" members didn't have time to rush over to support, so the battle was already over.

Therefore, no Sequence 9 extraordinary characteristics were seized.

For Odis, it wasn't just 12 characteristics, because after shattering them, he could obtain even more characteristics.

Odis took these characteristics to shatter them and then considered how to deal with them.

He had two ideas: The first was to use these characteristics to establish his own extraordinary power, after all, the combat power of "Werewolves" and "Vampires" was still very strong.

The second option was to sell them. Extraordinary characteristics of the "Apothecary" pathway were easier to sell, and if sold in large quantities, he could contact the Blood Clan or sell them to the "Life School" through Rupert.

Characteristics of the "Prisoner" pathway were difficult to sell. The only major customer Odis could think of was the Temperance faction of the "Rose School."

Think of what you want!

After thinking for a while, Odis decided to wait and see, after all, his current financial gap was not very large anymore.

Returning to the real world, Odis went to the shipyard again to check the construction progress of the two new ships.

When he came back, he found four large boxes in his room.

He quickly opened them to take a look. It was part of an order he had given to Caina, and part of it had already been completed.

Because the messenger couldn't locate Odis's position, they put the things "sent" by Caina in Odis's room in Emerald Palace.

Previously, in the second letter to Caina, Odis asked Caina to carve 10 sets of "Extraordinary Puppet" parts as soon as possible, because at least 4 "Extraordinary Puppets" were needed to start the new ship, and at least 10 "Extraordinary Puppets" were needed to operate all the weapons on the ship normally during battle.

This did not include the combat power for boarding enemy ships.

With these 10 sets of carved parts that had already been painted with extraordinary materials, Odis was completely relieved.

He went to "Craftsman" Div again and took 10 sets of ready-made "Wisdom Cubes" and "Signal Processing Crystals," planning to assemble four or five "Extraordinary Puppets" in the next two days, just to get the ship started first.

The next day, Odis arrived at the shipyard early, and the 12 scholars who followed him, as well as their assistants, had also arrived as scheduled.

Today, they were going to complete the layout of all the magic arrays on the small ship, and the task was still quite heavy.

Like the magic arrays on the previous large ship, Odis divided the work of the magic arrays into twelve parts, allowing each scholar to be responsible for one part, and then they each led their assistants to carve the magic arrays and paint them with spiritual materials.

The magic arrays on the small ship were similar to those on the large ship, except that some modifications were made. In addition to the smaller area, some new functions were added.

But after a little explanation, the scholars were able to understand.

Because of the construction experience of the large ship, the construction of the magic arrays was basically completed in one morning.

At the same time, according to Bernadette's instructions, all the decoration materials were moved to the workbenches around the new ship in advance for backup.

In the afternoon, the shipyard began to hoist machine guns and other weapons and completed the installation.

In the evening, after connecting the magic arrays to the weapons, Odis checked them and found that all the magic arrays were working normally. Then he checked the weapons again, and they could all be put into use immediately.

At this time, Bernadette came and first looked at the small ship.

She found that this small sea ship was not quite the same as the large ship. There were even sails in the middle.

Bernadette asked, "Why are you still installing sails?"

Odis replied, "This is a disguise, to make the enemy think we are just an ordinary ship."

The new ship, of course, had to be disguised to avoid being targeted by some forces all at once.

Bernadette smiled, "You've thought it through carefully."

Then she asked, "Have you thought of a name for the new ship yet?"

Odis said, "I plan to call it 'Argo'."

This legendary ship with the ability to "prophesize" seemed to be a product of the "Seer" pathway, so Odis planned to call it by this name.

Bernadette was stunned, "Why did you think of calling it this name?"

For her, this was a very unfamiliar word.

Odis explained with a smile, "I just think the name is very good."

Bernadette didn't quite understand what Odis meant. Obviously, he had not read "Greek Mythology," or rather, the Emperor had not passed "Greek Mythology" on to her.

However, she didn't continue the topic. Instead, she waved her hand, and paint flew from afar, writing the words "Argo" on the left side of the new ship's bow.

Then, after Bernadett had looked at the blueprints provided by Audis, she ordered everyone on the "Argo" to disembark. With another wave of her hand, the construction materials on the workbench seemed to come to life, hopping and skipping onto the new ship.

Some were laid as flooring, others were made into wall panels, and window and door frames installed themselves. Then, screws and nails flew over, securing the windows and doors.

The decoration work that would have originally taken one or two weeks was thus completed quickly and well.

Audis exclaimed, "What a magical and convenient ability!"

Bernadett smiled: "You can go and buy some furniture now. If it can all be delivered tonight, you can set sail tomorrow morning."

"Oh, right, don't forget to buy a batch of fresh water and food."

"Alright." Audis walked out while saying to the scholars, "You guys go to the 'Long Street Hotel' and wait for me. I'll come find you in a bit."

Then, a phantom door appeared before him, and he directly used "Travel" to return to "Long Street", purchased a large amount of furniture and daily necessities, and then went to buy some easily stored food, fresh water, beer, rum, and so on.

The food and drinks would be delivered to the pier tomorrow, while the furniture could be delivered to the ship tonight.

"Long Street Hotel" was the best hotel on Xia La Island. Today, Audis hosted a banquet here for the scholars, their assistants, and the ship designers.

Of course, Bernadett and Elia were also there.

Audis's life on Xia La Island would end tomorrow. Even if he returned to Xia La Island in the future, it would be difficult for him to see these scholars and ship designers again.

So Audis was very generous tonight, ordering the best wine and dishes to treat everyone well.

While chatting, everyone still hoped to be able to consult Audis on some questions regularly. Although he was only in his twenties, his attainments in mysticism were higher than those of these scholars with gray beards.

Audis suggested that they could write him letters, and told two of the scholars how to summon his messenger.

When everyone was a little drunk, a scholar suddenly raised his glass and asked, "Everyone, what exactly is the essence of the extraordinary? Is it really just madness and chaos?"

Everyone was slightly stunned. This was a generally accepted theory in the mystical world.

But after this new ship was built, this theory seemed to be somewhat shaken for the scholars. If there was really only chaos, why could various kinds of power, which seemed like extraordinary abilities but were not, be stably output using magic arrays?

Audis said, "In my opinion, the extraordinary and spirituality should be treated separately. The underlying logic of the extraordinary is madness and chaos, because the mental power of human-like beings is difficult to resist the mental impact brought about by the extraordinary, so the higher the level, the more chaotic it is.

"But spirituality is different. You can think of it as a type of energy that universally exists around us. We can use them through methods like magic arrays. Of course, there may be other ways, but we haven't discovered them yet."

The scholars were all silent, quietly contemplating Audis's words.

Bernadett pondered for a moment, then sighed softly. She felt it was a pity that a genius like Audis could not completely dedicate himself to her like these scholars.

Seven or eight seconds later, the scholar who had asked the question earlier said, "That's a good idea! Considering the extraordinary and spirituality separately clarifies the theory of the extraordinary and the mechanism of the existence of magic arrays."

Audis smiled and raised his glass: "Cheers to the great spirituality!"

"Cheers!"

The banquet had been going on until after nine o'clock in the evening, and the scholars and designers said goodbye one after another.

Audis's work was not over yet. He first went to Baiyam to inform Bazell that the new ship would set sail tomorrow, so he could prepare and also inform Rupert when he arrived.

Then he returned to Xia La Island and transported the furniture and daily necessities to the ship overnight and arranged them properly.

The merchants of these goods all provided manpower, so Audis didn't need to find anyone else.

After all the items were basically prepared, Audis wandered around the ship with quite a bit of emotion, feeling like he suddenly had a sense of belonging.

But today's work was not finished yet. He used the "Travel Ring" to return to Emerald Palace to install one or two more "Extraordinary Puppets."

He was concentrating on installing when he suddenly sensed something spiritually and saw Bernadett appear in the yard. He asked, "Aren't you asleep yet?"

"Aren't you also not asleep?" Bernadett said as she walked in and sat on a chair: "Your ship will be launched tomorrow, aren't you excited?"

"Yes." Audis smiled: "I originally thought I would only be excited after I got to the sea, but I didn't expect to be quite excited now."

Just like the idea in Audis's impression: the most anticipated and happiest moment is not the moment you play the game, but the journey to play the game.

"I was also very excited when my first ship was launched," Bernadett said, "But after arriving on the sea, I couldn't get excited anymore.

"Because sailing on the sea is actually very boring. Sometimes you don't encounter an island for several days.

"Although it feels like the world is big and I can explore it at will, I have to endure the loneliness of the sea even more."

Audis continued to assemble the "Extraordinary Puppet", working while saying: "Fortunately, I have the 'Travel Ring', and I still have a lot of things to do on land, so I should be very busy and won't feel bored."

The two people were like this, one working and the other sitting, chatting casually.

This state was their most comfortable state, or rather, they had gradually become accustomed to this state.

After the "Extraordinary Puppet" was assembled, Audis used the "Wisdom Helmet" to instill in them some knowledge and skills about operating ships and surviving at sea.

Finally, he put clothes on them and put on hats and masks, making them look more like real crew members.

Of course, these disguises could not completely conceal their characteristics, but they would make them look less abrupt.

After finishing these tasks, it was already late at night, and Bernadett got up to say goodbye.

At this time, Audis suddenly said: "Queen... Your Highness, can I occasionally return to this small courtyard to rest?"

The Emerald Palace on Xia La Island made him feel very at ease. No other place had this feeling, and he had to keep one eye open even when sleeping.

Bernadett was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Of course."

This smile was a heartfelt smile: "I have always kept this small courtyard for you. You can come back whenever you want.

"I will also instruct the kitchen to prepare meals for you whenever you dine here."

Audis breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Watching Bernadett's beautiful figure leave, Audis really had the illusion that he was saying goodbye to the white moonlight of his hometown and was about to go out to sea to make a living.

After being in a daze for a while, Audis hurried to rest.

On Saturday morning, he got up early again.

After breakfast, Audis had five "Extraordinary Puppets" carry the wooden boxes containing the parts to the shipyard.

Four of these five "Extraordinary Puppets" were assembled in the past two days, and one was a test machine.

On the way to the shipyard, some people noticed that they were not real people, but the people who noticed this were not very surprised, because on Xia La Island, people had seen some extraordinary things to some extent.

And the people of "Element Dawn" are not official extraordinaries, and they will not sign confidentiality agreements with them.

Arriving at the shipyard, he put the wooden boxes in Audis's workshop, and then the tugboat began to drag the "Argo" to the sea.

During this process, Audis went to Baiyam and brought Bazell and Rupert here.

The first mate and second mate were originally expecting the crew's salute, but they saw a ship that almost made their jaws drop.
