Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Odis presided over the distribution of the spoils: "You can choose to exchange them for items I've prepared for you, or for corresponding items seized during the battle."

"Noi, do you have the Sequence 8 potion formula? Good. Your contribution in this battle is enough for you to exchange for half of the main ingredient for the 'Clown' potion."

Noi was slightly stunned, not expecting to have hope for advancement so soon after setting sail.

"Also, First Mate Sarena, you've also obtained half of the main ingredient for the 'Berserker' potion." Odis said, "Both of you can choose to apply for advancement first, and the contribution points required for the other half of the materials can be supplemented later."

He had already arranged with 'The World' to conduct the transaction tonight, and at the latest, he would be able to obtain the characteristic for Noi's advancement by tomorrow.

Sarena opened her arms dramatically and said, "Captain, you're simply amazing!"

She had been at sea for three years, but had only obtained the potion formula for advancement, and had never been able to buy the main ingredient.

Mainly because, at sea, characteristics or main ingredients of the 'Sailor' pathway are very sought after, and most of the time you can't buy them even if you have money.

Moreover, for a Sequence 9, 600 pounds is also a huge sum, and the 'Berserker' characteristic usually sells for seven or eight hundred pounds, or even as high as nine hundred pounds!

Odis listened to Sarena's exaggerated praise, smiled slightly, and then said to Boris, "Your reward is to officially become a member of the 'Argo', and you can accumulate contribution points to exchange for the characteristics you need."

Boris sighed and tried his best to suppress the idea of sarcasm: "It's my honor, Captain."

"Cleveland, do you have a potion formula?" Odis continued to ask.

The taciturn combat captain with a low profile said, "Yes."

He had only recently saved enough money to buy the 'Weapon Master' potion formula.

Odis smiled and said, "Very good, the contribution points you earned in this battle can be exchanged for one-third of the main ingredient for the 'Weapon Master' potion."

"Bevis, do you have a potion formula?"

Bevis shook his head: "No."

That was already a Sequence 6 potion formula, and it was not so easy to obtain.

"Fortunately, I have one here." Odis said, "Your contribution points can allow you to obtain half of the 'Artisan' formula, and you can also apply to get the formula first, go find the main ingredients first, and then make up the contribution points later."

Bevis rubbed his hands and smiled: "After so many years, I finally feel the benefits of having an organization to rely on."

Everyone laughed together, feeling that the things they could exchange for with contribution points were what they needed most at this time, so they would definitely choose to exchange contribution points for items.

At the same time, they also realized that the captain was a Beyonder with rich accumulation.

Odis then said to First Mate Rupert: "I don't have the potion formula or main ingredients you need here. You can choose spoils from the seizures, but based on your contribution, the level should not exceed Sequence 7."

"You can also accumulate contribution points first, and then exchange them for the main ingredients you need when they become available."

Rupert thought for a moment and said, "I hope to accumulate contribution points."

Odis nodded and said to Basel: "In this battle, the contribution points you obtained can get you the 'Corrupted Baron' potion formula."

"This time, we also seized an extraordinary characteristic. Because it was seized, I'll give you another quarter of the extraordinary characteristic. After that, you can continue to accumulate contribution points to exchange for it."

Basel smiled and said, "Thank you, Captain."

Then he said: "I hope to get a Sealed Artifact with a stronger attack power, which can be traded with gold pounds."

The gold pounds he had saved up now were enough to buy a Sealed Artifact comparable to Sequence 6, but he didn't have such channels.

Odis took out the Sealed Artifact he had just seized from Egbert: "This is the Sealed Artifact I found on Egbert, comparable to 'Favored of the Wind'."

"I have already identified it. It has four abilities: 'Flight', 'Wind Blade', 'Diving', and 'Furious Strike'. The negative effects are not very large."

"Because this belongs to the spoils, if you need it, I can sell it to you for 4,500 pounds."

Egbert had been carrying the Sealed Artifact with him, so the negative effects were certainly not very large.

At sea, a Sealed Artifact of the 'Sailor' pathway at Sequence 6 with not very large negative effects starts at 6,000 pounds!

Basel immediately said: "I'll take it!"

Since meeting 'Captain Gaire', he had earned a lot of money in several actions. In addition to his previous savings, even if he didn't get the bonus for this action, it would be enough for him to immediately take down this Sealed Artifact.

Since everyone accepted the spoils exchanged for contribution points, the remaining spoils belonged to Odis.

After dividing the spoils, Odis said again: "This time we also seized a ghost ship and a merchant ship. Our 'Sword of Dawn' has a fleet!"

Everyone was also very happy, after all, a "fleet" is a symbol of a pirate group's rise to power.

Sarena couldn't help but say, "Why haven't I heard that fighting pirates is so profitable before?"

After a battle, not only can you advance, but you also have a fleet.

Rupert smiled and said, "To be precise, it's only so profitable to fight pirates with Captain Gaire."

Bevis muttered to himself, "Yes."

After seeing how 'Captain Gaire' fought the pirates, he deeply agreed with Rupert's statement.

You should know that among the pirates who charged towards 'Lighthouse Hill' at that time, there were more than a dozen Beyonders, including one at Sequence 6, but they all died on that hillside in less than ten minutes.

If it weren't for the 'Argo', this battle would have been very difficult, after all, the opponent had a ghost ship and two Sequence 6 Beyonders.

Bevis had never heard of this kind of combat style. Several times he wanted to ask the captain about the operating principles of those weapons.

But he felt that he had only joined the pirate group for a short time, so he didn't ask.

"I am already the mayor of Cruz Island." Odis said again, "This involves the issue of shift duty on the island."

"There must be at least one crew member and one navigator trainee staying on the 'Ghost Ship', and at least one crew member guarding Cruz Island."

Then Odis made detailed arrangements. The first batch to be on duty on the 'Ghost Ship' were Basel and Anssaire, and the first batch to be on duty on Cruz Island were Rupert and Noi.

Odis's plan was for the 'Argo' to continue sailing at sea, while he traveled back and forth between the sea and Cruz Island. The work he arranged on Cruz Island needed to be supervised by the crew.

After completing the deployment, they raised their glasses to celebrate and truly began to enjoy the banquet.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere of the chat became more and more enthusiastic, and Rupert again "popularized" the story of First Mate Basel to the new crew members.

This story was quite widespread in the Rosed Islands, and everyone had heard some of it more or less. Today, they finally heard the "complete version".

Who knew that when he talked about the plot of negotiating with the navy, Basel suddenly said, "The main reason why I was able to complete the transformation from pirate to bounty hunter is because I was a navy informant very early on."

"'Cut Finger' also knew about this and thought that this identity would get some help, so he didn't object either."

"Because I provided the navy with several very valuable pieces of information, I bribed their officers, and they agreed to cancel my bounty."

Everyone was stunned. Sarena didn't understand for a moment: "Pirates can get help from the navy?"

Basel smiled and said, "The Rage Sea is too big. The main force of the navy is containing the navies of other countries. There is not much power that can really be used to deal with pirates."

"So they also need some pirates who can provide them with information and do some things for them after they pay some gold pounds."

"For this, in addition to some monetary benefits, as long as no bloodshed is created during the looting, the navy generally doesn't care much."

Sarena nodded slowly, obviously this was something she hadn't thought of before.

Rupert was a little disappointed: "This truth greatly affects the plot of the 'Basel Revenge' story!"

"Then you can continue to use the original version in the future." Odis smiled, then he asked Basel: "What level of naval officer can you contact now?"

Odis had known for a long time that Basel was a navy informant, or rather, anyone who wasn't blind would know.

At the same time, Odis didn't think this was something that needed to be opposed. Not only that, but he trusted Basel the most among the crew, because Basel was very measured and knew very well that he was first the first mate of the 'Argo', and then the navy informant.

Sarena looked at the captain and then at the first mate. She realized that the captain didn't care much about the fact that the first mate was a navy informant.

Basel replied: "Colonel, the colonel in charge of intelligence work."

Odis nodded: "That's good."

After chatting for a few more words, Rupert began to imagine the future development of the pirate group, and everyone began to show off their bragging skills. After a meal, everyone felt that they would become the "Pirate Kings" of the sea tomorrow.

Odis returned to the ship and did not rest, but set up an altar and used the "Bestowal Ritual" to obtain the "Marionettist" characteristic contaminated by the "True Creator".

This characteristic was placed in an iron box and covered with a "Wall of Spirituality", so touching the iron box would not cause one to hear whispers.

Odis temporarily carried it with him and did not immediately go to the "Knowledge Moor" to deal with it. He estimated that "The Fool" was still watching him at this time.

Immediately, Odis entered working mode, inscribed a magic circle on a metal sheet, and inlaid an extraordinary characteristic of the "Apothecary" pathway on it.

Audis also found some prescriptions he had previously traded for, and fetched the corresponding herbs, the kind that couldn't be called spiritual materials but could cure diseases.

After preparing the herbs according to the dosage in the prescription, Audis injected spirituality into the newly made metal sheet. The magic array on it activated, injecting spirituality into the herbs on the workbench.

Then, Audis boiled the herbs, obtaining a pot of dark and murky medicinal liquid.

His spirituality told him that this pot of medicine had a very good effect on treating malaria, and it would take effect within a few minutes after drinking it.

This proved that Audis's experiment was successful.

All along, Audis had been researching the corresponding abilities of the "Recorder." He hoped that the magic arrays he drew could possess the power of Extraordinary abilities.

However, this research had been going on for a long time. He could even use "Gael Runes" to describe the corresponding Extraordinary abilities now, but he was always unable to release them.

Just a few days ago, Audis obtained a "Recorder" characteristic during an exploration with Fors.

In the past few days, he had been using this characteristic to conduct further research whenever he had time.

Through constant experimentation, Audis realized a problem: his research direction was wrong!

Although the spirituality of this world could be used to call upon some of the forces of nature, if he had to say, it was more like a "physical reaction!"

If spirituality was regarded as a kind of energy, then Audis's previous magic arrays were applications of this energy.

It was just like the application of electricity, which could make light bulbs light up and machines turn.

However, what Audis mobilized with the magic array was definitely not an Extraordinary ability.

Extraordinary abilities were abilities that were ultimately presented after spirituality had been "processed" by Extraordinary characteristics.

This "processing process" was very special, and only Extraordinary characteristics could complete it, and Audis could not imitate this process with anything other than Extraordinary characteristics.

His research failed, but he had a new understanding of the relationship between spirituality and Extraordinary characteristics.

Through the research on the "Teleportation Magic Array," Audis found a new way to apply magic arrays and Extraordinary characteristics.

That method was the experiment he was doing now, such as using the corresponding magic array to activate the "Apothecary's" characteristic to create a medicine that was very effective against malaria.

This looked like a special method of using Extraordinary characteristics, and even seemed like a way to create sealed artifacts, but it was actually not the case at all.

If it was combined with a magic array that condensed spirituality, this would be a production line for manufacturing malaria treatment drugs!

This would break through the limitation of the "Apothecary" being unable to continuously "concoct" medicines.

The principle of the "Apothecary" concocting medicines was probably to find the corresponding herbs, and then inject spirituality that had been "processed" by Extraordinary characteristics into these herbs, and those ordinary herbs would immediately possess magical effects.

Audis had tried it a long time ago, and herbs that had not been injected with the "Apothecary's" spirituality had almost no effect.

But the problem was that the "Apothecary's" spirituality was limited, and it was impossible to continuously concoct magical medicines.

Now, Audis's research had perfectly solved this problem. As long as there was enough spirituality, this Extraordinary characteristic could work 24 hours a day.

Thereby realizing the mass production of "magical medicines."

Although it was different from Audis's initial expectations, it basically achieved his initial vision: mass production!

In fact, all of Audis's research was aimed at mass production, and his research purpose was to allow more people to enjoy the benefits brought by the Extraordinary.

In Audis's view, ordinary people may not know about the Extraordinary, but they can enjoy the convenience brought by the Extraordinary. Just like ordinary people may not understand the principle of electricity, but they can enjoy the light brought by electric lights.

Of course, Audis didn't have any selfless dedication. At the same time, he also realized that this process also contained huge business opportunities and wealth.

So, all along, he had a big plan, which was to realize some of his research, develop his Extraordinary forces, and obtain stronger strength.

However, considering the attention he was receiving, Audis only showed some of the most basic research in Backlund. It was not until he left Backlund that Audis's plan officially began.

Like the "Argo" and the "Extraordinary Puppet," as well as the "Special Medicine Production Line" he had just experimented with, were all ways for him to realize his research.

Moreover, this kind of realization was within a controllable range, and would not attract the attention of others for the time being.

When he had accumulated a certain amount of wealth, Audis's strength was stronger, and he had stronger strength, he would further realize it, so as to make himself obtain a stronger force.

In this way, like a snowball, he would become stronger step by step.

Now that Audis had a place to build his base, he had the space to deploy the "Special Medicine Production Line."

After these drugs entered the market, they would not attract too much attention, after all, this was something that could be "produced" at the Sequence 9 level.

Moreover, Audis had noticed that the Rothseid Archipelago currently did not have very good medicines to treat malaria, and a large number of people from the Northern Continent died from malaria every year.

No mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one volume, one is watching!

People from the Northern Continent who were born in low-dimensional regions basically did not have antibodies against tropical parasitic diseases in their bodies, so many people from the Northern Continent who came to Rothseid would die from this disease.

In addition, the frequent diseases of the colonists also included cholera, smallpox, yellow fever, etc., almost all of which were diseases that would kill you as soon as you got them.

Audis was wondering before, why didn't Emperor Rosell popularize antibiotics?

Until one time, he tried to cultivate a batch of penicillin bacteria in the "Knowledge Wilderness," and found that in this world with the Extraordinary, antibiotics had almost no effect.

However, the destructive power of penicillin bacteria was extremely great. If a large number of them were cultivated, it would easily cause a new disease.

Audis thought about it for a while before he understood that after the "Original Creator" awakened, it was not only humans and other animals that mutated, but also microorganisms such as viruses and fungi.

Since then, the diseases caused by viruses had become more powerful, but because the human body had also mutated, as long as the people who survived, their own qualities had also become much higher, and their antibodies could just fight against these viruses.

The problem was that although the penicillin bacteria had mutated, the medicinal effect of penicillin had not changed much. Audis guessed that it might be because the production process of penicillin was an artificially intervened method, so the effect of penicillin drugs still remained before the "Original Creator" awakened.

But the medicine at that time could no longer cure the current diseases.

So, Audis's plan to cultivate penicillin on a large scale also failed because of this.

But now Audis had found a new idea. Since this was an era when viruses had mutated, and it was also an era with Extraordinary power, obviously the method of manufacturing "antibiotics" in this world also needed to be improved and changed.

The "special medicine" that Audis had just successfully experimented with was the "antibiotic" belonging to this world. Such a special medicine would have a very large market only in the Rothseid Archipelago.

Moreover, the drugs produced by Audis would definitely be cheap enough, because those herbs were not worth much at all. The valuable part was the part "processed" by Extraordinary characteristics.

Audis's research had made this valuable "process" also "worthless." Perhaps the biggest expense was hiring local people to boil medicine and can it.

After making some simple plans for the next period of time, Audis put away the experimental product just now, and casually put the characteristic of "Marionettist" into the "Knowledge Wilderness," and then returned to the bedroom to sleep.

At dawn, the reminder of spirituality woke Audis up. He didn't open his eyes, but took a deep breath and entered the "Knowledge Wilderness" by means of "meditation."

In the Origin, Audis stretched his waist, waved his hand, and the iron box containing the "Marionettist" characteristic flew over.

Removing the "Wall of Spirituality" from the iron box, the moment the iron box was opened, Audis heard a very sacred murmur in his ear.

This made Audis a little strange. In theory, he shouldn't hear the whispers of the "True Creator" in the "Knowledge Wilderness."

After thinking about it for a while, Audis recalled the reaction that occurred here after he came into contact with the "Unextinguished Whisper" before and entered the "Knowledge Wilderness."

Now he seriously suspected that this kind of "whisper" thing could have a reaction in the "Knowledge Wilderness."

Audis then guessed that the way knowledge was instilled also included "language," and at the level of the gods, language became "whispers."

Because the authority of the "True Creator" had the ability in terms of "whispers," it would cause a certain reaction in the "Knowledge Wilderness."

After figuring this out, Audis went to listen carefully to those whispers, because in the "Knowledge Wilderness," these "whispers" could not cause him any harm.

These "whispers" sounded like every sentence was very profound, but basically they were all incoherent words. The only content that could be heard clearly was several unique ways to use the "Corruption" ability.

But Audis couldn't use these contents either, because he didn't have the "Corruption" ability.

Then Audis came to the "Central Simulator" and shattered the Extraordinary characteristic of "Marionettist."

After the characteristic was shattered, a black viscous thing appeared. Just as it was about to re-wrap those characteristics, Audis raised his hand, used the power of the "Knowledge Wilderness" to "pull" it out, and put it into the prepared glass bottle.

In the "Knowledge Wilderness," this group of viscous black liquid looked very quiet.

But Audis was very clear that if this glass bottle were brought into the real world, people within dozens of meters might be able to hear the whispers of the "True Creator."

There was no rush to turn it into a scroll, so Audis temporarily placed the glass bottle on the shelf.

Then, Audis looked at today's spoils. A total of 18 Extraordinary characteristics were seized, two of which were at Sequence 6 level, one being "Corrupted Baron" and the other "Undead Tutor."

There were 4 Sequence 7 characteristics, namely "Navigator" of the "Sailor" pathway, "Vampire" of the "Apothecary" pathway, "Interrogator" of the "Arbitrator" pathway, and "Briber" of the "Lawyer" pathway.

The rest were "Low Sequence" characteristics, mainly concentrated in the "Lawyer" and "Arbitrator" pathways.

There were three magical items in total. One was sold to First Mate Bazel, and the remaining two were aligned with the "Psychologist" of the "Spectator" pathway and the "Sheriff" of the "Arbitrator" pathway.

Audis saw that there was already a small pile of Extraordinary characteristics in the corner of the room. He only took the "Corrupted Baron" characteristic seized this time to crush, without crushing all of them.

Because it was already quite a lot, Audis was considering whether to sell off some.

But Audis looked at the pile of gold pounds again. The initial use of the "Argo" had already allowed Audis to accumulate a large amount of wealth. This was the first step in turning his research into profit, and it was even smoother than he had planned.

Audis picked up stack after stack of gold pounds to do a "financial statistic." After counting for a long time, he came up with a surprising number: 17,330 pounds!

This did not include the hundred or so pounds and change in his wallet, as well as the three hundred or so pounds of public funds on the "Argo."

It also did not include the bounty rewards from this battle, as well as the 4,500 pounds earned from selling the magical items.

Audis immediately realized a problem. It was no longer a question of how to make money, but a question of how to spend money.

These cash were indeed pleasing to the eye, but Audis also knew that if he wanted to develop his own power and become stronger, he had to spend all this money!

Audis's first thought was to engage in infrastructure construction and education on Cruz Island, and start cultivating a group of "Low Sequence" Beyonders from the locals.

The second idea was to use the "Biological Belt" to transform agriculture and animal husbandry, making these two industries, which are related to everyone's survival, more productive and take up less land.

So Audis struck while the iron was hot and wrote two proposals.

After the proposals were written, the characteristics were also re-aggregated.

Audis placed the proposals and the "Master of Puppets" characteristic near the "Space Array" for easy retrieval tomorrow.

Then, Audis, who breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the real world and fell asleep again using the "Meditation" method.

On Wednesday morning, as soon as the other crew members got up, Audis told them to eat breakfast quickly, and then have a meeting after breakfast.

The ship's meals were now prepared by two "Extraordinary Puppets." The taste couldn't be said to be very good, but it was still passable.

Audis still wanted to find a chef, but ordinary chefs were reluctant to board pirate ships.

Arriving at the conference room, Audis explained the series of construction plans to be carried out on Cruz Island, which made everyone a little dazed.

They kept asking themselves, am I really on a pirate ship? Am I really a pirate?

After roughly describing the overall picture of the plan, Audis began to make specific arrangements: "Bazel, go to Bayam first. There are several tasks to be handed over to you.

"First, exchange the bounty.

"Second, go inside Blue Mountain Island and buy a small manor, requiring it to be close to the train station and have convenient transportation.

"Third, arrange an intelligence exchange meeting on Friday.

"Fourth, rent a shop to prepare to sell a special medicine for the treatment of malaria.

"Fifth, contact your old subordinates and ask them to purchase a batch of materials and food that can be used on the island and are not very expensive. You can take a look at what Cruz Island needs in terms of specific materials and food.

"In addition, let them purchase building materials in large quantities. Buy as much as there is on the market until the price rises.

"Come to me for all the expenses above, and keep detailed accounts. If you think it is necessary, you can hire an accountant."

Bazel was stunned for a moment: "Wait a minute, let me write it down."

After he wrote it down, Audis asked First Mate Rupert and Noe to follow him around the island later, and let Beavis be the first crew member to guard the "Ghost Ship."

The other crew members were free to act first to prepare for sailing tomorrow.

After explaining the specific tasks, Rupert asked: "Captain, what are we going to do?"

"Spend money." Audis smiled and said: "I want to build this island into the second economic and commercial center of the Raging Sea!"

The other economic and commercial center is Bayam.

Everyone was slightly stunned. They didn't know how to evaluate the captain's bold words for a while, and they couldn't even find the corresponding expression to respond to.

Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Audis added: "Everyone may not understand now, but in the near future, everyone will understand my purpose."

He stood up and said: "In short, everyone, get stronger quickly!"

After saying that, Audis quickly left. After he left the conference room, Rupert called Noe: "Quick, quick, the captain has entered work mode!"

Noe quickly closed his notebook and quickly chased after him.

Arriving on the deck, Audis gave Rupert and Noe three "Flying Scrolls" each. They first turned around in the port town and the southern plains.

At this time, people would take off their hats and salute when they saw the "Flying Town Mayor." The legend of the new town mayor had spread on the island.

One of the legends was that the town mayor had a pair of "invisible wings" that could allow him to fly by himself, and could also give others the ability to fly briefly.

The two places that Audis visited were one that was simply developed by modern people on the island, and one that was densely populated and produced grain.

After wandering around, Audis finally landed on "Lighthouse Mountain" in the middle with Rupert and Noe.

From here, you can clearly see the port town and the southern plain. Audis said: "The new town will be built on this mountain.

"But it cannot be built in the direction facing the sea. Fortresses and trenches must be built there to become a line of defense."

Rupert and Noe simply didn't ask now, they just quickly wrote down everything the captain said.

Then Audis added: "Rupert, go and notify the residents of the port town later, and Noe, go find Wells and ask him to notify the villages.

"After that, the island will be divided into two towns, one is Port Town and the other is Plain Town.

"Wells is the mayor of Plain Town, and Grant is the deputy mayor. The specific location for building the town government will be confirmed by me personally in two days."

Rupert asked: "Then who is the mayor of Port Town?"

Audis thought for a while and smiled: "We'll talk about it in two days. For the time being, let the Autonomous Council play the role of the town government.

"Oh, yes, you also have to tell them that I have selected 'Lighthouse Mountain' as a stronghold, and I also want to requisition a large warehouse from them."

This was a condition they had agreed upon before.

Audis took a deep breath and felt that there were suddenly so many things to do.
