Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Monday morning, Audis woke up to find the sea still shrouded in a thick fog, obscuring even the sun in the sky.

This made him sigh, "It feels like I'm back in Backlund."

After breakfast, Audis took a walk around the island.

Thanks to yesterday's victory, Audis didn't need to issue any more orders today. The people of Cruz Island were all stationed at their posts according to his previous arrangements, diligently keeping watch.

People greeted Audis warmly when they saw him.

After patrolling the island, Audis returned to the ship.

In his opinion, as long as the "Deep Blue" pirate团 didn't launch a new attack before dawn today, there was little chance of a new battle during the day.

So, Audis wrote a letter to the "Mysterious Queen," asking if she would be willing to help him hunt down the "Trickery Pegasus" and informing her that there seemed to be some unknown dangers.

The reward was a Sequence 5 level mystical item and a portion of the spoils of war.

He also stated that the person providing the clue would also get to choose an item from the spoils.

The reward of that Sequence 5 level mystical item actually came from "Star Admiral" Cattleya, who was also the person "providing the clue," as promised.

Audis considered it for a moment and decided to wait a little longer before telling Bernadette that the news came from "Star Admiral."

After all, he "didn't know" the exact relationship between Bernadette and Cattleya. Bernadette had never proactively talked about this matter, so he could first reach a deal with Cattleya before telling Bernadette that the informant was Cattleya.

Otherwise, if the deal didn't go through for some reason, asking about Cattleya so early would seem like he was testing Bernadette.

This couldn't help but make Audis sigh: Knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing.

In normal circumstances, this reward wouldn't be enough to hire a demigod to help, as the most crucial parts of the spoils would be what Audis and Cattleya needed.

The remaining spoils might only be some high-grade spiritual materials.

However, Audis knew that as long as he asked, Bernadette would basically agree.

This was equivalent to using favors, but the favors he had accumulated before were meant to be used at times like this.

Soon, the "Mysterious Queen" replied: Agreed.

Audis smiled. If possible, he would try to reach a deal regarding the location of the "Trickery Pegasus" at the Tarot Club this week.

Then, Audis used the time before the Tarot Club meeting to manufacture a "Extraordinary Machine Gun" and an "Extraordinary Mortar."

The high-grade spiritual materials and flexible metal materials that he had asked Kaina and Ilya to purchase had been delivered by messengers over the past few days.

Audis's workshop had small equipment for processing metal materials. After putting on the "Artisan Pocket Watch," he could manufacture the relevant extraordinary parts himself.

Around 2:00 PM, Audis returned to his bedroom to prepare.

At 3:00 PM sharp, his vision was covered by the gray fog, and he arrived at the meeting place of the Tarot Club, on one side of the bronze long table in the magnificent giant hall.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool!" Audrey's clear voice rang out.

The greeting session of this Tarot Club meeting then began.

"Hermit" Audis glanced at "High Priestess" Cattleya. Her expression was still very calm, as if she were an outsider to this gathering.

Soon, the greeting session ended, and none of the members of this Tarot Club meeting had any urgent matters.

So, according to the normal procedure, Audrey sacrificed three pages of the diary to repay the debt she owed.

After "The Fool" Klein read them aloud, he said to everyone, "You may begin."

"Hanged Man" Alger looked around and said first, "I need the 'Ocean Singer' potion formula."

Cattleya was slightly stunned: Isn't he a member of the Storm Church? Why is he asking for the 'Ocean Singer' potion formula at the Tarot Club? It's much easier to obtain the formula from within the church than from the Tarot Club.

Soon, Cattleya made a judgment: He has a secret he wants to hide from the Storm Church, or was he just pretending to be a member of the Storm Church before?

Thinking about it, she still nodded and said, "I can help you keep an eye out."

Seeing "High Priestess" respond, Alger followed up and asked, "Madam, what do you need?

"I can search for clues in advance to exchange for the potion formula in the future."

Klein behind the gray fog smiled slightly: These two old foxes are starting to probe each other.

The other members, except for Audis, didn't realize anything was wrong with "Hanged Man's" question.

But for Alger, his question was indeed carefully considered: With needs, there are clues!

Cattleya had already chuckled inwardly: What do I need?

Then she smiled and said, "I need a demigod-level mystical item, one with relatively acceptable negative effects."

Klein forcefully suppressed the corners of his mouth from turning up, and Audis also tried his best to hold back from laughing.

Alger almost blurted out, telling her not to joke.

For a "middle sequence" extraordinary, or a member of the Storm Church, they might not see an sealed item of this level in several years.

And for a "middle sequence" among wild extraordinaries, they might not see a mystical item of this level in their entire lives.

Soon, Alger realized that "High Priestess" was responding to his probing with sarcasm.

He slowly took a breath and said, "I will keep an eye out.

"But Madam, you should be well aware that even a valid clue for such an item might be worth the 'Ocean Singer' potion formula."

Cattleya smiled slightly: Very deep, not easily angered. This is quite different from the general style of the Storm Church. I thought he would pound the bronze long table with his hand and roar at me.

She didn't probe a second time and nodded, "I understand."

At this time, Audrey and "Magician" Fors had already noticed that there was some tension in the conversation between the two.

But "Sun" Derrick and "Moon" Emlyn still didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the conversation just now.

Seeing that the conversation between the two had ended, Audis said to Cattleya, "I have already communicated with that demigod. She is willing to take action to help us complete the exploration and obtain what we each need.

"But there are also two requirements. The first is that before the exploration, you must clearly state all the dangers and enemies that may be encountered during the exploration. If it is discovered that you are deliberately concealing anything, our cooperation will be terminated immediately.

"The second is that, in addition to what you and I need, all other spoils will belong to that demigod."

In fact, Bernadette didn't make such a request, but Audis wanted to make it clear to Cattleya to give Bernadette ample preparation space.

Cattleya didn't expect the transaction to progress so quickly: "That's natural. How should I tell you? Orally or written on paper?"

"Orally," Audis asked "The Fool" to establish a separate communication environment.

After Klein sealed the senses of the other members, he pricked up his ears to listen to the upcoming communication between "Hermit" and "High Priestess."

Cattleya first said to the head of the bronze long table, "Mr. Fool, I hope you can witness this transaction. For this, I am willing to provide six pages of Emperor Rosell's diary."

Klein thought to himself: She's afraid that "Hermit" will "double-cross" her at that time.

"Hermit"\n… or rather, Mr. Gehr's character, Klein still understood relatively well. Moreover, now that Klein has the "Sea God Scepter," he does indeed have substantial deterrence against opponents at the demigod level.

So "The Fool" Klein nodded and said, "Alright."

With "The Fool's" witness, Cattleya said to "Hermit," "The weather on that island is extremely harsh. It rains heavily all year round, and almost no normal creatures can survive in such an environment."

Audis nodded: Not on a safe route, in the most dangerous sea area of the Rage Sea.

More than a hundred years ago, although the countries of the Northern Continent opened up three relatively safe routes, the Rage Sea didn't change much. It was still as violent as it ever was.

Those three safe routes only ran through relatively safe sea areas and didn't mean that the Rage Sea was safe.

In most places outside the safe sea areas, the Rage Sea was still very dangerous, and the environment was extremely harsh.

Cattleya continued, "I have tried to explore it three times. There are many extraordinary animals and extraordinary plants there.

"However, in the central part of that island, there is a demigod-level monster hidden. As long as one stays on that island for a period of time, it can sense that someone has landed on that island, so one can only explore for about an hour before leaving.

"Regarding that monster, my spirituality sensed extreme danger and madness, so I still don't know what that monster looks like. I only know that it is on the same pathway as me.

"Perhaps because of the existence of this monster, it has attracted many extraordinary creatures on our same pathway and adjacent pathways. That 'Trickery Pegasus' is one of them.

"But my last exploration was last year, and I can't be sure if that 'Trickery Pegasus' is still there? Or has it been killed by other monsters?

"If, during this exploration, I don't obtain the pituitary gland and liver of the 'Trickery Pegasus,' I will also use my channels to buy or exchange them elsewhere.

"But it will take some time."

Audis nodded, understanding: It seems that the monster on that island has characteristics that "Star Admiral" needs to advance to a demigod. No wonder she is willing to invest so much.

He paused for a moment and said, "After the gathering, I will communicate with that demigod and tell her that this information was provided by 'Star General'."

Cattleya took a deep breath, as if she had made some kind of resolution, before saying, "Okay."

She thought to herself: I knew it, 'Hermit' must have guessed my identity.

The transaction between the two ended, and after a few seconds of silence in the hall, Klein manipulated 'The World' to say to 'The Hermit', "I want to communicate with you privately."

The other members thought: Again?

Audrey probably guessed why Klein was looking for him: "Alright."

After establishing a private communication environment, 'The World' said, "I would like to ask, what kind of reward is needed to remove the spiritual residue in Extraordinary characteristics through your channels?"

He had already asked Emlyn to help inquire with Leonard whether he had any magical items from the 'Theft' pathway.

However, Leonard's asking price was very high, making Klein hesitate, so he wanted to ask 'The Hermit' what kind of reward he needed.

Audrey thought: As expected.

Then he said, "I happen to have already inquired for you.

"The reward is 2,000 pounds, and all characteristics except the one you need."

Klein was stunned, and immediately realized that the channel 'The Hermit' possessed was to shatter the Extraordinary characteristics and wait for them to re-condense, thereby removing the spiritual residue.

Relatively speaking, he still preferred to seek 'The Hermit's' help, as this would save a lot of money.

As for the extra characteristics, he wouldn't need them either.

If they could be separated, that would be best, as the characteristics would be purer, and there would be no burden when taking the potion.

However, there was still something that needed to be confirmed, so Klein manipulated 'The World' and asked, "Is it possible to remove higher-level spiritual pollution from the characteristics?"

Audrey pretended to be curious and asked, "How high-level is it?"

"God level."

Audrey did not answer immediately, but said, "It should be possible."

After all, he was using the Source.

He pondered for a moment and promised, "I think it is possible. If it cannot be removed, I will not charge you any reward."

'The World' slowly nodded, and Klein, behind him, thought: The channel that 'The Hermit' possesses is at least asking an angel for help.

Although this is not at the level of a 'True God' and cannot evaporate the spiritual pollution of the 'True Creator', at this level, there should be some way to separate that spiritual pollution from the Extraordinary characteristics.

For this transaction, Klein was quite relieved. First, he trusted 'The Hermit' more, and second, 'The Hermit' also needed to be responsible for his own actions.

Although 'The Fool' cannot yet deter angels, it is still relatively easy to chop 'The Hermit' to death.

Klein thought for a moment before manipulating 'The World' to say, "Okay, I am willing to reach this transaction."

Audrey smiled slightly, Noel's "carrot" was secured.

After completing this transaction, the transaction process continued, and 'The Magician' Forsi said, "Mr. 'Hermit', I would like to trade information about the Abraham family with you."

Now that Forsi had money, she stood up straight and dared to speak.

For Forsi, if there was one thing she wanted to buy most after having money, it would definitely be information about the Abraham family. She really wanted to know why this family was cursed.

'Justice' Audrey, who was next to her, was slightly stunned. Originally, she planned to continue trading information about the Fourth Epoch.

However, she was also quite interested in the information about the Abraham family: "I also want to join the transaction."

Forsi breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."

Although she had money, she still felt a little heartache to spend 1,000 pounds at once. It would be best if someone could help her share the burden.

Audrey then replied, "No problem, the price has been agreed upon before, 1,000 pounds."

At this time, Cattleya also said, "I also want to join this transaction."

The other gentlemen of the Tarot Club were not very interested in this information. They still hoped to continue hearing about the information transactions of the Fourth Epoch, so they did not plan to spend money in this regard.

In the end, the three ladies, after a simple discussion, decided that Forsi, the initiator of this transaction, would pay 500 pounds, and the other two members would pay 250 pounds each.

Klein, who was also quite interested in this information, chose to freeload this time. His reason to himself was: it is not easy for three people to divide the 500 pounds.

After sealing off the senses of 'The Hanged Man' and others, Audrey faced the three ladies opposite him and said, "You should have all heard that the Abraham family holds the potion formula of the 'Apprentice' pathway."

The three ladies all nodded. Forsi was very clear about this. Cattleya had heard of this matter, and Audrey learned about it from Forsi.

"The ancestor of the Abraham family, Mr. 'Door', was the King of Angels of this pathway." Audrey described, "The high-level characteristics of this pathway are said to be traceable back to the 'Progenitor of the Undying Bird'.

"It is said that in the body of this Ancient God, in addition to the high-level characteristics of the 'Death' pathway, there are also certain high-level characteristics of the 'Door' pathway."

Cattleya was somewhat enlightened: "No wonder in some murals about the 'Progenitor of the Undying Bird', the eyes of this Ancient God seem to be composed of layers of doors."

Only 'The Hermit' and two female members were present, Cattleya's state was much more relaxed, and she would actively share some of her own experiences.

Audrey and Forsi slowly nodded. They had not seen murals about the 'Progenitor of the Undying Bird', but the description of 'The Priestess' could be regarded as corroboration of 'The Hermit's' information.

Audrey smiled and continued, "It is no longer known how those characteristics specifically came into Mr. 'Door's' hands, but according to some information I obtained from other places, Mr. 'Door' should have obtained those characteristics with the help of the Ancient Sun God.

"This is a logical guess. After all, it was the Ancient Sun God who defeated the 'Progenitor of the Undying Bird'. The corresponding characteristics of this Ancient God should have become the spoils of the Ancient Sun God."

Therefore, in the early days of the Fourth Epoch, the Abraham family supported the Solomon Empire. In fact, what Mr. 'Door' supported was not Solomon, but the 'True Creator'.

"But what specific contributions Mr. 'Door' made to obtain the high-level characteristics is currently unknown," Audrey said:

"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it was because of the fall of the 'Ancient Sun God' that Mr. 'Door' obtained the characteristics that were originally with the Ancient Sun God under the corresponding opportunities."

In this regard, Audrey was actually quite certain that Abraham used to be a subordinate of the "Ancient Sun God", because Mr. "Door" was called Abraham, and he remembered that this was the surname that the "Ancient Sun God" gave Him.

So Audrey had speculated, was it possible that the "Ancient Sun God" had tested the state of the "Lord of the Mysteries" through Abraham?

Of course, such a life-threatening experiment would have to be rewarded with some benefits.

But now what Audrey was not sure about was whether Abraham should have become an Archangel during the Third Epoch, so did he obtain all the characteristics of the "Door" pathway from the "Ancient Sun God", or from the "True Creator"?

So Audrey had also speculated that it was possible that Abraham had obtained the corresponding characteristics after the fall of the "Ancient Sun God" and became the "King of Angels", and was the "King of Kings".

Because He could almost "open the door" in all confined spaces, and while everyone's attention was drawn to the fall of the "Ancient Sun God", He should have been able to obtain the characteristics He needed.

Then, His support for the Solomon Empire was just a trend-following choice.

Later, His shift to support the Tudor Empire, instead of continuing to support the Second Solomon Empire, could also be explained.

Because the "Ancient Sun God" had only provided Him with assistance, and the process of becoming the "King of Angels" relied entirely on Himself, then supporting the Solomon Empire could be considered as the end of His benevolence.

However, because there was no evidence for this speculation, Audrey simply mentioned it and did not give a detailed explanation.

Klein was filled with emotion when he heard this: The "Ancient Sun God" had such a great influence on the Fourth Epoch and future generations! Apart from the three gods such as the "Lord of Storms", even Mr. "Door" was deeply influenced by Him.

Cattleya was also recalling the information she knew about the "Ancient Sun God".

In fact, in the Extraordinary world, although the "Ancient Sun God" had a certain "popularity", few people could clearly explain what kind of god He was.

People like Cattleya, who had rich occult knowledge, only had a concept of the "Ancient Sun God", knowing that He opened up the Third Epoch and heard that He had fought against the Ancient Gods.

However, in the recent transactions of the Tarot Club, the shadow of the "Ancient Sun God" had frequently appeared, which made Cattleya feel that this god was gradually becoming clear and concrete in her concept.

"Mr. 'Door' is a relatively special King of Angels." Audrey continued, "I once said before that at that time, Mr. 'Door' was known as the existence most likely to become a True God.

Without error, one first one hair one inside one capacity one in one look one look!

"Because He holds three Sequence 1 characteristics of His own pathway, and also holds the Uniqueness of that pathway."

Klein almost blurted out: Then why didn't He become a god?

But he quickly realized that he was eavesdropping now and had no chance to ask questions. He could only try to endure and wait for members such as 'The Priestess' to ask questions.

Audrey also noticed this: "Mr. 'Hermit', I remember trading corresponding information before. As long as you collect three Sequence 1 characteristics of this pathway and the Uniqueness, you can perform the godhood ritual, right?"

This was also the question in the minds of Cattleya and Forsi. They both looked at "The Hermit," waiting for his answer.

"Yes," Audrey said, "I've also noticed this. 'The Door' has already met the conditions for becoming a god, so why hasn't He become a true god?"

"To this end, I have consulted some experts and done some thinking, and finally came to a conclusion that it may be the situation at the time that prevented Him from becoming a god for the time being."

"Or rather, after becoming a god, it would be very dangerous for Him."

Mainly because at that time, the spiritual remnants of the 'Lord of the Mysteries' were still quite strong. Not only did He not dare to become a god, but Amon and Antigonus also did not dare.

Of course, these two had not yet collected all the Sequence 1 characteristics.

Cattleya and the others suddenly became serious. Why would becoming a god become even more dangerous?

Or rather, even if they become gods, what could threaten Him?

So Cattleya asked, "Where does the danger come from?"

Audrey said, "I dare not give a definite answer, I can only wait for key clues in the future to answer this question."

This question involves too many secrets, and it cannot be answered now.

Cattleya was a little disappointed, and then she realized that this was another piece of information at the level of the gods.

Klein also had similar guesses, and at the same time he realized: This may not be information that a Sequence 6 can know. In fact, it is already against the heavens that "The Hermit" knows so much.

Audrey continued, "It is precisely because 'The Door' has collected all the Sequence 1 characteristics that His state is different from other Kings of Angels. It is said that He can use power close to the level of a true god."

"This is a very strange place, because under normal circumstances, as long as there are three Sequence 1 characteristics and Uniqueness, that is a god."

"Just like those ancient gods, They are basically gods accumulated from characteristics."

"'The Door' did not become a god even after collecting three Sequence 1 characteristics and Uniqueness!"

"It is said that because of 'The Door's' authority in the field of space, He separated His own characteristics, so He is only close to a god, but can avoid becoming a god immediately."

"I don't know if this answer is accurate, everyone should listen to it as the correct answer for now."

Speaking of this, Audrey smiled helplessly: "This transaction involves a lot of knowledge about the level of the gods. I am just a 'Middle Sequence', and I can't give accurate answers in many places for knowledge at this level. I can only give a relatively reasonable explanation."

Klein thought to himself: Is this the legendary "Versailles"?

Cattleya and the other three female members looked at each other, and finally Forsi said, "Mr. 'Hermit', you already know a lot of knowledge that we don't know."

Audrey and Cattleya nodded one after another, especially Cattleya. She was very clear about the level of this kind of knowledge. Before joining the Tarot Society, she didn't even have a way to obtain knowledge at this level.

Audrey "um"ed and continued: "The reason why I want to explain the state of 'The Door' as clearly as possible is to let everyone know how powerful He is!

"After the 'War of the Four Emperors' begins, He is even an existence that can change the course of the war."

"So at the beginning of the war, the 'Night Goddess' and the 'Storm Lord' joined forces to seal Him."

What?

The two gods sealed "The Door"?

This news caught the other members off guard and stunned them.

Klein behind the gray fog was the first to react: I remembered, Rosell once said that 'The Door' was lost in the depths of the storm. At that time, I thought He was trapped in a dangerous sea area, but it turned out that the 'Storm Lord' participated in the seal.

Cattleya also immediately sighed: This is the "War of the Four Emperors"! The "War of the Four Emperors" where gods will take action at any time.

Forsi thought to himself: 'The Door' was indeed sealed! And sealed by two gods! But why can He occasionally get in touch with the real world?

Only Audrey was thinking: In the Fourth Epoch, the Goddess and the "Storm Lord" had cooperation!

Audrey gave everyone enough time to react before saying again: "I also learned a piece of information from another channel that 'The Door' was secretly contaminated by a certain existence before becoming an angel."

What?

He was contaminated so early?

The other members participating in the transaction once again had a feeling of being caught off guard.

Klein was the first to react again: According to Rosell, 'The Door' seems to be in a strange state, but I didn't expect to be contaminated.

Then he thought: Who contaminated it? Why hasn't the pollution been resolved when it is only a small step away from "True God"?

Cattleya simply asked, "May I ask who contaminated it?"

Audrey said, "It is said to be 'Original Moon'."

That is the "small account" of the "Fallen Mother God", or it is contaminated by the "Fallen Mother God".

Forsi was stunned again: "This 'Original Moon'... Well, I mean, what kind of god is this?"

"This is an evil god," Audrey said, "I heard that some people in the Southern Continent believe in this evil god. In addition, many 'Moon' pathways, that is, 'Apothecary' pathways, also believe in this evil god.

"Among the 'Rose School', it seems that some members are believers of 'Original Moon', and there are also some believers who do not have close organizations."

Forsi nodded, feeling that this was a "niche" evil god.

Audrey then asked, "Mr. 'Hermit', how was 'The Door' contaminated?"

"Sequence 3 of the 'Apprentice' pathway is called 'Wanderer'. It is said that they can go to the starry sky and wander on one planet after another," Audrey said.

"That 'Original Moon' is hiding in the deep starry sky, taking advantage of 'The Door's' 'wandering' in the starry sky to contaminate Him.

"Maybe 'The Door' didn't even know he was contaminated at first."

Everyone fell into a brief silence, feeling that the starry sky was so dangerous.

Klein also had a unique feeling: Other planets? Before I transmigrated, those were places that could only be reached by spacecraft. In this world, relying on one's own ability, one can go to other planets.

Suddenly, he had a feeling that myths and science fiction stories were mixed together.

After a few seconds, Cattleya suddenly said, "The 'Night Goddess' and the 'Storm Lord's' seal seems to be imprisoning 'The Door', but also seems to be protecting 'The Door'?"

Klein and the other members were all stunned, feeling that this idea was very novel.

At this time, Audrey suddenly thought: "Did the two gods seal 'The Door' because 'The Door's' pollution was already very serious and had to be sealed?"

Then she realized that obviously "The Priestess" had already thought of this and made further guesses.

Audrey said, "There should be such considerations."

Then he said to Cattleya, "I think the main thing is to imprison 'The Door' to avoid more people being polluted.

"Because 'The Door' was quite active in the early days of the Fourth Epoch. First, he supported the Solomon Empire, and later helped Tudor build a mausoleum, and eventually became a great nobleman of the Tudor Empire.

"If it was to protect Him, He should have been sealed long ago."

Cattleya nodded, feeling that she was still influenced by the thinking that "righteous gods" are "positive images", which is why she had the idea just now.

"Later, I kept hearing that someone could occasionally contact 'The Door'." Audrey said half-truthfully, "Without exception, they contacted Him when the 'Blood Moon' phenomenon occurred..."

Forsi sat up straight immediately, like a primary school student listening attentively.

Klein suddenly had a bad feeling: 'The Door' was contaminated by 'Original Moon'; He can be contacted during the 'Blood Moon'; Rosell once established contact with 'The Door'...

"Judging from the subsequent performance of those who contacted 'The Door'." Audrey continued, "'The Door's' pollution should be quite serious.

"Or rather, when 'The Door' was sealed, the pollution in His body was already very serious.

"After being sealed, 'Original Moon' used the power of the 'Blood Moon' to weaken the seals of the 'Night Goddess' and the 'Storm Lord' to a certain extent, allowing 'The Door' to affect the real world.

"This directly caused a serious consequence. Members of the Abraham family can hear an unbearable murmur every time this happens.

"Moreover, the higher the sequence, the more susceptible they are to this murmur. As a result, the angels and demigods of the Abraham family died one after another in a very short period of time.

"The family's property, characteristics, and sealed items were snatched by major forces. I heard that there are also Abraham family's sealed items in some orthodox churches."

Audrey and Cattleya seemed to suddenly see a powerful family collapsing in front of them.

Then, the two looked at "The Magician" together.

At this time, "The Magician" Forsi slowly leaned on the back of the chair: "So that's how it is."

She then asked, "Why can only members of the Abraham family hear this murmur?"

"It is said that 'The Door' is using blood to ask his descendants for help," Audrey said.

Forsi recalled that Mr. "Fool" also said that "The Door" was actually asking for help.

She seemed to see a figure in the storm and darkness. He stood there alone, only able to ask for help from the outside world when the "Blood Moon" came.

Thinking of this, Fors took a deep breath, then tried her best to put on a smile and said, "'Hermit' Mr. Hermit, thank you for your answer. This transaction has resolved a long-standing question in my mind."

She thought to herself: The most important thing for me now is to become stronger as soon as possible. Only when I am strong enough can I escape that curse as soon as possible.

Audrey was also happy for Fors, feeling that she had resolved a knot in her heart.

At this time, Fors said again: "'Hermit' Mr. Hermit, can I buy the Sequence 6 characteristic from you in the future?"

"Yes." Odis said: "After all, that was obtained in our joint adventure. I'll give you a cheaper price, 2600 pounds."

This price is indeed quite cheap. Although the characteristics of the "Apprentice" pathway are not so popular, they are also relatively "hot".

Generally, the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 6 of this pathway cost 3500 to 4000 pounds.

Odis did give a considerable discount.

Fors certainly knew this, and quickly said: "Thank you for your help, 'Hermit' Mr. Hermit."

Audrey then asked: "Is your exploration complete? It seems the harvest was not small."

"Yes." Because she suddenly received that huge sum of money, Fors suddenly felt inexplicably guilty.

She paused for a moment before asking Odis: "'Hermit' Mr. Hermit, can I tell the story of our exploration?"

Odis smiled and said: "Of course you can."

This exploration did not have any secrets that needed to be concealed.

Fors was about to speak when Audrey suddenly said: "Wait a moment, can we talk about it during the exchange section?"

Fors was stunned and asked with her eyes, why?

Audrey said with a sweet smile on her face: "The most delicious cake should of course be enjoyed at the end."

Gaderia and Fors were amused by this girlish answer and smiled knowingly.

Fors then said: "Okay."

Thus, the transaction ended, and "The Fool" lifted the sensory blockade on the other members.

"The Hanged Man" Alger and other members saw that the three ladies seemed to be more cheerful. This was a situation that rarely occurred when exchanging information with "The Hermit". Generally, after the transaction ended, the expressions of the members involved in the transaction were more serious.

The exchange section continued, and Audrey cleared her throat and said: "Who among you knows information about the 'Argo'? What reward do I need to pay?"

Gaderia was slightly stunned and immediately speculated, why did "Justice" want to exchange information about the "Argo"?

Klein glanced at "The Hermit" intentionally or unintentionally, paying attention to his reaction.

Alger asked strangely: "How do you know about the 'Argo'?"

Audrey smiled and replied: "I saw it in the newspaper."

Alger nodded, realizing that this noble lady in the Northern Continent had suddenly started subscribing to newspapers only published on the Forsaken Sea.

Fors then asked: "Is that a ship?"

"A pirate ship." Audrey replied: "The newspaper said that the ship destroyed the ferocious 'Red Lion' pirate group last week."

Gaderia also explained casually: "'Red Lion' Taylor is indeed very cruel. It is said that he would slit the throats of all the prisoners he caught, leaving them to die in pain."

In fact, there were two more steps before that, cutting the eyes and cutting the tongue, but in order to avoid making the members of Backlund feel uncomfortable, Gaderia only mentioned slitting the throat.

Audrey immediately asked: "'Priestess' Madam, do you know any information about this ship?"

Gaderia was stunned for a moment before shaking her head and saying: "I only know that this is a pirate ship that has just set sail."

"Just set sail?" Audrey seemed to have thought of something, then looked at "The Hermit".

Then she asked: "When exactly did it set sail?"

Alger replied: "The earliest was the week before last week. Someone saw this ship on Mingerk Island."

Obviously, "The Hanged Man," who had done some investigation, said: "That island is in the western part of the Forsaken Sea."

Mingerk Island was the first island Odis landed on.

Audrey's eyes lit up: "'Hanged Man' Mr. Hanged Man, thank you for your answer, I have no more questions."

After waiting for a while, everyone did not find any new transactions, Audrey then said to Odis: "'Hermit' Mr. Hermit, I have something I want to ask you, can I talk to you alone?"

Odis was stunned before saying: "Okay."

After establishing a separate communication environment, Audrey asked as soon as she came up: "You are the captain of the 'Argo', aren't you?"
