Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

In the main hall, the "Saintess" said, "To show our sincerity, I'll help you obtain what you've been searching for first."

Behind Audis and Fors, the voice was clearly curious: "You know what I'm looking for?"

"We once obtained some information about the Abraham family," the "Saintess" said. "This includes a 'special storage' instruction document."

"For a long time, we didn't realize what this meant, until we discovered corresponding descriptions on a batch of materials from the Southern Continent. Only then did we review the Abraham family's information and understand what you truly desired."

The "Saintess" paused. "We learned that what you needed was entrusted to a noble of the Solomon Second Empire to find back then."

"After finding it, to avoid attracting the attention of the 'Nether Emperor,' you asked the noble of the Solomon Second Empire to use the Abraham family's 'teleportation array' for transfer."

"But unfortunately, the 'Four Emperors War' suddenly broke out, 'Mr. Door' was suddenly sealed, and the Abraham family collapsed. Members of this family were hunted by many organizations."

"Things that could be taken from this kind of 'extraordinary transfer station' were all looted, and the Abraham family members here were also slaughtered."

"But what you wanted is still here, so after the 'Nether Emperor' fell, you could only find a way to come here to search."

"However, the extraordinary mechanisms here are very advanced. Without the internal data of the 'extraordinary transfer station,' it's impossible to find what you want."

Audis thought: The whole thing is becoming clear. Recently, because of Mr. Azik's appearance, the 'Witch Sect' has paid attention to a batch of materials from the Southern Continent. In the materials, they should have discovered something important, or an important clue to something.

Based on those clues, they discovered the existence of this 'muffled voice' and, through the information snatched from the Abraham family, learned about the current situation of this existence.

Judging from the scratches all over the walls here, this existence of the 'Death' pathway has indeed been looking for that thing, and has been looking for it for a very, very long time.

But because he doesn't know how to open the warehouse here at all, he still hasn't found what he wants. Even carrying out some destructive searches here still hasn't yielded any results.

On the other hand, the 'Witch Sect' found this place based on clues and found this existence with a 'muffled voice'.

Of course, they definitely wouldn't provide help for nothing; they must have ulterior motives.

"All of this is for His Majesty the 'Nether Emperor'," the "muffled voice" said. "But this matter really shouldn't attract anyone's attention."

He didn't continue to talk about this topic, but instead said, "Now that you know what I'm looking for, take it out."

"Then we can talk about the conditions."

The "Saintess" said, "Don't worry, the cooperation we want with you won't embarrass you. In fact, you'll be very happy with this kind of cooperation."

She paused and said, "According to some records, the warehouse is in that corridor. What you want must be inside."

"Moreover, the warehouse is easy to open. You don't need to have Abraham family blood or inherit the characteristics of the Abraham family to open it."

The "muffled voice" said, "I've tried every inch of the walls in both corridors and haven't found a warehouse entrance. Moreover, these walls are very sturdy and difficult to destroy."

"That's because you didn't do the right thing in the right place," the "Saintess" smiled. "For anti-theft purposes, 'Ancient Giant Language' is used here, and in the Fourth Epoch, very few people understood this obscure language anymore."

"I don't know if you still remember, but the Abraham family controlled a large number of extraordinary transactions back then. This kind of 'transfer station' was built for convenient transactions, so it was necessary to guard against robbery and theft."

"Moreover, it is said that the building here can defend against attacks at the demigod level. You've been searching here for so many years, which has already proven this point."

"Fortunately, not many people within the Abraham family understood 'Ancient Giant Language' either. They have an explanation in Ancient Forsac Language."

As the two people spoke, the "muffled voice" left the stone chamber and went to the corridor.

Audis's and Fors's spirituality suddenly felt much less pressure.

However, now wasn't the best time to open the secret door. Audis took a deep breath; he still needed to be patient for a while.

Soon, a crisp "click" sound came from the corridor, indicating that the warehouse in the corridor had been opened.

Immediately afterward, an extremely cold feeling permeated the stone chamber.

Audis was quite familiar with this feeling. This was the coldness emitted by the river flowing between the real world and the underworld, transporting spirits, a coldness that even spirits would feel tremble at.

Clearly, what the existence with the "muffled voice" was looking for was related to the underworld or the 'Death' pathway.

That "muffled voice" said, "It really is here…"

Judging from the sound, he entered the warehouse as he spoke.

Now was the best time!

Audis suddenly grabbed Fors's hand, raised her hand to the correct position, and whispered in her ear, "Spirituality."

Fors understood and immediately injected spirituality into that place.

"Click ~"

Another crisp sound rang out, and the secret door in front of them was suddenly opened.

Audis immediately pushed Fors, and they rolled inside. Almost the moment they entered the door, the two felt the approach of death. At the same time, the two felt as if they had a serious illness, and they didn't even have the strength to lift their hands.

Clearly, the two demigods had discovered that something seemed wrong in the stone chamber. They had only spread their aura here, and Audis and Fors had already almost lost their ability to resist.

Audis's sequence was a bit higher, and his ability to withstand attacks was also stronger.

The moment he entered the door, he struggled to get up and closed the secret door behind him.

The two of them took a long breath together. Their movements just now were very fast; the process from entering the door to closing the door probably took less than two seconds.

But in that instant, both of them felt as if half of their foot had stepped into the underworld.

Audis sighed, Fortunately, the things in the warehouse were important enough, and the two demigods were somewhat wary of each other, so they didn't come to the stone chamber immediately. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the chance to close the secret door.

After taking a slight breath, Audis was a little uneasy and quickly got up to look around, first finding the switch for the "crystal lamp".

When it lit up, Audis could see the "Ancient Giant Language" inside and locked the door.

At this time, even if there were descendants of the Abraham family outside, they would not be able to open this door.

This kind of secret room has enough defense systems, so even the two demigods outside can't find a way to get in for the time being.

At this time, Audis smiled and said, "Cough cough cough… That was close, that was close."

He took out several herbs from the "Knowledge Wilderness", mixed a dose of medicinal powder, ate some himself, and gave some to Fors.

Fortunately, the "Saintess" hadn't used her full strength to deal with them just now, and the impact of the extraordinary virus was limited. The medicine he mixed himself could relieve the symptoms of the extraordinary virus.

After Fors took the medicine, she also understood how dangerous the action just now was. Before the teleportation array was activated, she didn't know that the exploration had suddenly become dangerous.

When she learned how dangerous it was, she had already been suppressed by that terrifying aura and had no ability to resist at all.

At this time, the two of them sat on the ground to rest without any grace, because the aura of the two demigods had caused huge pressure on their spirits and minds, and they needed to rest for a while before they could take the next step.

Fors asked, "When did you realize the danger?"

At this time, she also understood that when they came out of the warehouse, "Captain" seemed to have started self-rescue, but at that time, she didn't feel any danger at all.

"From the moment I knew the 'Saintess' was coming," Audis said. "I had previously obtained some information about the 'Witch Sect'. The 'Saintess' is a demigod of the 'Witch Sect'."

Fors opened her mouth: That was close! If it wasn't "Captain", who had a wealth of intelligence, who was exploring together, she would definitely have encountered the Saintess who was coming, which would have been tantamount to courting death!

She looked around. Inside the secret door was a small room, and there was a staircase leading down on the inside, so she asked, "Where is this?"

It could be seen that although there was a lot of dust here, there were no traces of damage like outside.

Audis said, "Below is the 'Teleportation Array'. This is the most critical place of the 'Extraordinary Transfer Station'. Even in the information of the Abraham family, there should be very little, or simply no mention of this place."

Perhaps only a few people inside knew how to enter this secret room.

Fors was about to ask "Then why do you know?", when she suddenly recalled that Mr. "Hermit" was proficient in mysticism and magic arrays, so he should have used his knowledge to learn about the existence of this secret room.

This made Fors breathe a sigh of relief again.

Audis leaned against the wall and got up, saying, "Now the problem is how to get out of here."

Just now, he had planned to use this teleportation array to go to the Southern Continent, but who knew that this teleportation array was suspected of being occupied by a demigod of the 'Death' pathway.

The other party had obviously directly regarded this place as a stronghold and even placed his own body here.

Now, the uncertainty on the other side of the array has increased, and that side must also be very dangerous. However, Audis had also just had a new idea. As for how to leave here, he still had to take a look at the "Teleportation Array" first.

The two of them went down the stairs, and below was a space of considerable size. What first caught their eyes was a magic array with an area of half a basketball court.

Seeing the array, Audis immediately stopped in his tracks.

This teleportation array was simply too advanced. In Audis's eyes, it was practically a perfect work of art!

In comparison, the teleportation arrays Audis had designed before were completely simplified versions of simplified versions.

"Wait a moment."

Ignoring whether Forsi heard him or not, he took out his notebook and pen and began to jot down notes.

He wrote for eight pages before Audis contentedly closed his notebook.

"Too exquisite!"

He exclaimed, "Sometimes I really want to communicate with the people who designed these ancient arrays."

Audis sighed deeply, "Why did such practical things disappear after the Fifth Epoch?"

After thinking for a moment, he seemed to understand why.

After the decline of the Abraham family, "teleportation arrays" completely disappeared from people's sight.

After the elves faded from people's sight, the arrays of the "Underwater City" also disappeared with them.

The reason for their disappearance was likely because these arrays were controlled by a certain family or race, and after that family or race declined, these arrays disappeared with them.

Seeing that "Captain" had finished writing, Forsi pointed to a near-illusory crystal in the center of the array and asked, "'Captain' sir, what is that?"

She always felt that the crystal had a strange attraction.

"That is a 'Traveler' Beyonder characteristic," Audis said, "It is the source of extraordinary power that this array provides."

The transfer array invented by Audis can only allow a maximum of two people to pass through each time, and it needs to rest for an hour after each use.

And the teleportation array in front of them was wide enough to transport goods!

Audis estimated that each time it was used, seven or eight carriages could pass through one after another without any problem.

In addition to the array itself being precise enough, each array also needs to use a "Traveler" characteristic.

However, for arrays that go back and forth, only one characteristic needs to be used.

For example, for an array from here to the Southern Continent, if the corresponding characteristic is used here, the sub-array on the Southern Continent does not need to use it.

Not only does it need to use a "Traveler" characteristic, but it also needs the existence of at least an angel-level being to help this array widen the gateway to the spirit world.

Widening it once during the layout of the array is enough, there is no need to widen it every time it is used.

According to Audis's previous plan, after finding this array, injecting spirituality into the corresponding position would allow them to teleport away.

But doing so now would be equivalent to packaging himself and Forsi and sending them into the enemy's base.

So the plan has changed. Audis plans to open a "passage" in the wall here, taking Forsi from there to leave this space and directly enter the spirit world.

The space where Audis and the others are located is itself between the real world and the spirit world.

Using the "teleportation array" he invented can open a passage in this space, either entering the real world or entering the spirit world.

After seeing the teleportation array here, Audis felt that he could draw inferences from it, and he was more confident in this plan.

But before that, Audis went to see the other array in the underground hall.

There are two large arrays in the underground space. Audis's attention was drawn to the teleportation array just now, and now he has time to take a look here.

After taking two glances, Audis determined that this was a central control array.

The "ventilation arrays," "oxygen production arrays," "lighting arrays" outside, and even the "shuttle array" on the tall wall, could all be controlled to a certain extent here.

At the same time, Audis also saw a hexagonal crystal floating in mid-air.

This crystal was very similar to the hexagonal crystal found in the "Underwater City" in the elven ruins, and its function was also similar.

This made Audis realize that in ancient times, central control arrays should all have a template. Based on that template, some arrays suitable for different situations were modified.

Then, Audis smiled slightly, "I can change the entry permissions for that tall wall so that no one can enter or exit."

Of course, this would certainly not trap the two demigods, but it would be enough to create a lot of trouble for them.

Forsi was slightly stunned, and immediately felt that the initiative seemed to have returned to "Captain's" hands.

Audis thought for a while and decided to draw the array to escape from here first.

… …

At this time, in the corridor outside leading to the Southern Continent, the ordinary crew members and sailors who obeyed the "Cognitive Church" had withdrawn, leaving only the "Saintess" and the "Pain Witch."

In the hall, next to the man who was previously covered under the pile of skeletons, there was an evil spirit that looked like a dense black shadow.

The evil spirit held a feather fan in its hand. This feather fan was made of the feathers of "Ancient Death God" Greygali. There were obscure and difficult-to-understand symbols on the feathers, constantly burning with illusory flames that were almost transparent, emitting a ghastly white light.

He needed to use this Sealed Artifact to make his spirit body re-match his physical body, so that the two could be reunited again.

At this time, under the order of the "Saintess," the "Pain Witch" had explored the warehouse in another corridor.

However, the result of the exploration made her a little uneasy. She quickly returned, "Malia died in that warehouse…"

The "Pain Witch" guessed in surprise that Malia should have found the traces of those two people, and then quietly followed into the warehouse, but was discovered and killed inside.

This made the "Pain Witch" feel some fear towards those two people. They were only a Sequence 6 and a Sequence 8, but they had played so many "Middle Sequence" Beyonders in the palm of their hands, and had successively killed three "Middle Sequence" Beyonders.

The "Saintess," who looked only twenty years old and was breathtakingly beautiful, stared at the "Pain Witch," "You've embarrassed us all the way to the Southern Continent."

The "Pain Witch" lowered her head and dared not say anything.

The "Saintess" took a deep breath before saying, "It seems that this is another masterpiece of the one you said was suspected to be 'Professor of Scrolls'.

"The woman who is acting with him is likely to be from the Abraham family, otherwise they couldn't be so clear about the environment here."

"Go check them out and kill them."

The "Pain Witch" looked at the stone room in astonishment, "They… weren't they trapped inside?"

The "Saintess" smiled and said in a very beautiful voice, "I don't think this place can trap them, go ahead."

With a wave of her hand, the "Pain Witch" had already appeared at the location of the tall wall.

Here, there was a "Trick Master" ready to "open the door" for the people inside at any time.

But he had opened it several times, and he had opened an illusory door on the wall, but the outside of the door was still a wall, not the way out.

The "Pain Witch" asked, "What's wrong?"

"I can't open it." The "Trick Master's" forehead was already covered with a layer of fine sweat.

The "Pain Witch" was stunned, "Try again."

At this time, the "Saintess" suddenly appeared behind the two people, "No need to try, we are trapped here."

The "Pain Witch" took a slight breath, even the "Saintess" was trapped?

… …

In the secret room.

Audis had already drawn the "Teleportation Array," but this array must use an "Ahonah Crystal."

Fortunately, although it was impossible to connect to the spirit world here, it was possible to use the connection with the "Knowledge Moor," and Audis took out the "Ahonah Crystal" stored there from the "Knowledge Moor."

These "Ahonah Crystals" were very valuable. They were Audis's stock in Backlund, and a large part of his income at that time was spent on them.

Audis chose the smallest one and simply inlaid it in the array.

Then, he first took away the "Traveler" characteristic in the "Teleportation Array" over there. Without this characteristic, the teleportation array could not operate.

Then, Audis took out a pen and spiritual essential oil and modified a few characters in the "Central Control Array," so that the people outside were all trapped in this space.

Finally, Audis took out an "Explosion Scroll" and drew a small array.

This array could supply a small amount of spirituality and simulate the spell to open the scroll.

However, Audis had a "delay design" that could supply spirituality and detonate the scroll after about half a minute.

The "Explosion Scroll" was enough to destroy all the arrays here, so as not to let these array diagrams fall into the hands of the "Witch Sect."

After setting everything up, Audis held Forsi with one hand and pressed a position in the array with the other.

An illusory passage appeared, and on the other side of the passage, it was indeed the spirit world.

Audis breathed a sigh of relief and took Forsi into the spirit world.

After the two people went out, the illusory passage disappeared. After about half a minute, a violent explosion swept through all corners of the secret room.

Because these buildings were built with some special methods, this violent explosion did not even shake off a piece of wall skin, but most of the arrays here were destroyed.

Especially the array that Audis had just drawn, which had not been reinforced and completely disappeared in the explosion.

After the explosion, the most valuable thing here was probably the "Ahonah Crystal" that Audis could not take away.

… …

After Audis came to the spirit world, he immediately used the "Travel Ring" to come to a small, desolate island through the spirit world.

At this time, the sun had already reached the west side of the sky. Bathed in the sunlight, the two people were sure that they had really escaped danger.

They didn't say a word, just basked in the sun quietly for a while, and then Forsi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's so hot!"

Backlund was still in the dead of winter. Forsi had known in advance that the exploration would take place on the high seas, so she wore a slightly thinner dress, but it was still very hot under such a scorching sun!

"Let's divide the spoils first," Audis said, walking towards the shade of a tree. "Then I'll send you back to Backlund."

Forsi said, "Actually, you only need to give me 600 pounds."

She felt that her contribution to the entire exploration process was only opening the "door" three times.

Audis smiled and said, "Such a thrilling exploration, you were able to support it to the end without causing trouble, which is enough for you to get a share of the spoils."

"But it needs to be explained that I did play a major role in this exploration, and I also lost a crystal worth about 4,000 pounds."

"So I want five-sixths of it, do you have any objections?"

"No objection," Forsi said immediately. "I can take one-eighth."

Audis took out the spoils from the "Knowledge Wilderness" and said, "There are two ways to divide it. One is that I take five items first, and then you take one; the other way is that we each take what we need."

"Because some of today's loot, you obviously can't use, and it's difficult to take back, um... to be precise, I may not use it either."

Forsi recalled the logs and ores. As the "Captain" said, even if she got these things, it would be difficult to take them to Backlund, and even if they were taken to Backlund, there would be no place to store them.

So she asked, "How do we each take what we need?"

Audis asked with a smile, "You should need that box of gold, right?"

Forsi was stunned for a moment, then nodded honestly.

"Let's do this, I can give you that box of gold," Audis said. "Then I'll give you that 'Astrologer' Extraordinary characteristic."

"I think these are all the things you need."

The total value of these two spoils is about one-fifth to one-sixth.

Forsi took a deep breath to calm herself down: "Will... will it be too much..."

Audis smiled and said, "Since you have no objection, we will divide it according to this method."

Forsi breathed a sigh of relief. Her teacher Dorian had said before that he didn't have the main material of the "Astrologer", so Forsi could only collect the materials herself.

Unexpectedly, before she had time to collect it, she already had the main material for the potion.

"However, in order to prevent the 'Knowledge Church' from divining the location of this characteristic, I need to have someone process it first, and then give it to you next Monday," Audis said. "We are all members of a mysterious gathering, you don't have to worry about me going back on my word."

Forsi nodded: "I... I know, um... I mean, I trust you."

During the rest of the journey, Forsi always felt a little confused, until the "Captain" said goodbye, and Forsi felt the heavy feeling in her hand, then she seemed to suddenly come back to her senses: I'm carrying a box of gold! A box of gold worth at least 6,000 pounds!

So she stopped walking towards the public carriage station and called a taxi carriage instead.

It's not because she suddenly had money and became extravagant all of a sudden, but because taking a taxi carriage was safer.

After getting into the taxi carriage, Forsi completely felt like she had come back to her senses. She pinched her face: Usually, I always feel that I am an Extraordinary, and the job I have to make a living is not bad, and sometimes I feel that I am very powerful. But I didn't expect that just a box of gold would seem to have overwhelmed my mind.

In the end, she sighed: Exploring ruins is really profitable!

Then, she recalled the exploration process, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the "Captain" was really knowledgeable and wise. Even when the enemy was so powerful, he still got so many spoils, and in the end, he just felt a little cold and didn't even get hurt much.

The more Forsi thought about it, the more she felt that it was not that exploring ruins was very profitable, but that following the right person to explore ruins could make money.

This further restored her sanity and made her stop thinking about taking the initiative to find and explore ruins.

Back at the apartment, Hugh, who had a cute baby face, had already returned: "The box in your hand... looks very old."

Forsi smiled and said, "It was indeed found in a ruin."

She struggled inwardly, should she tell Hugh about today's encounter?

But after thinking about it, Forsi finally decided to wait and tell her later. Although they both knew the "Captain", Forsi did not have a channel to contact the "Captain" on the surface.

"I'm going to change my clothes," Forsi changed the subject and quickly entered her room.

Hugh said while sorting out the information in her hand: "You are indeed wearing too thin."

Seeing that Hugh was no longer paying attention to the box in her hand, Forsi said while changing her clothes: "By the way, I remember you said that you know someone who collects jewelry and gold.

"A friend of mine asked me to help him deal with a few gold bars. I can get 60 pounds in rewards, and I'll split it with you half."

Hugh looked at Forsi's room: "The reward is very high!"

Generally, this kind of commission would only give a few pounds in rewards.

At this time, Hugh, who had already received a few true inheritances from Audis in terms of collecting intelligence, immediately thought of the box in Forsi's hand just now, and Forsi's clothes just now.

But she didn't ask any questions, but said, "I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning."

...

Inside the "Argo" captain's studio.

A illusory door suddenly opened, and Audis saw that there were two more tall wooden boxes in the studio.

These were the last batch of "Extraordinary Puppets" parts carved by Kaina, and this batch of parts came just in time.

Audis simply checked it, then went back to his bedroom and changed out of his somewhat damaged clothes.

After putting on his work clothes, Audis first used meditation to enter the "Knowledge Wilderness".

Here, he first sorted out today's loot, especially those ores and logs, which required a lot of space to store.

Then Audis looked at the other spoils. The first was the Sealed Artifact that benchmarked the "Faceless Man". Its main ability was to transform into the appearance of others, changing hair color, pupils, and height. Even the Sealed Artifact itself could change its appearance, but the rose-red gem could not change its appearance.

The second ability is to be able to divination.

For Audis, the ability to divination alone is a very practical Sealed Artifact.

As for the negative effects, they are not very strong: if you wear it for more than an hour at a time, you will start to be afraid of water; if you wear it for more than two hours at a time, you will feel that you are very handsome or beautiful, and then gradually become reluctant to take it off, wearing it all the time.

As long as the wearing time is always within one hour, the negative effects can be resolved.

So Audis transformed it into a pendant with a huge gem, and then named it "Faceless Pendant".

Next, Audis looked at the black iron-colored stone that he didn't recognize, but felt was very high-end.

Using the "Central Simulator" of the "Knowledge Wilderness" to identify it, it turned out to be an auxiliary material for the demigod level of the "Lawyer" pathway!
