Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Except for "The Sun" Derrick, the other Tarot Club members were stunned by the information translated by "The Hermit" Alger.

It actually said that "The Lord of Storms," one of the seven orthodox gods, was an evil god!

Moreover, it said that "The Lord of Storms'" position was "snatched through despicable means!"

A god's position could be snatched?

This made the other members feel that just hearing these words was blasphemy.

Especially "The Hanged Man" Alger, who had always shown devout faith in "The Lord of Storms," but he knew clearly in his heart that he was just a superficial believer.

After hearing the content translated by "The Hermit," Alger immediately retorted in his heart: That bastard is lying. How dare he think like that? Isn't he afraid of "The Lord of Storms" sending down divine punishment?

Immediately afterward, Alger thought of another thing: The Storm Church and the elves used to be mortal enemies.

Now the elves have disappeared from the public eye, but the Storm Church still has some hostility towards hybrids of elves and humans.

Alger has always been underappreciated because he has some elven blood.

However, a very contradictory point is that the middle and upper levels of the Storm Church advocate absorbing some hybrids with elven blood.

Klein, behind the gray fog, was also a little surprised, but he quickly calmed down: It's not impossible. Gods can fall, like the Creator of Silver City.

"Justice" Audrey quickly returned to her "Spectator" state and asked, "Why would the person who wrote this thing slander 'The Lord of Storms'?"

Alger said, "It's not necessarily slander. I once saw some murals and written descriptions about the Elven King, and they were all related to waves and lightning.

"To be honest, it's very similar to 'The Lord of Storms' authority."

So, is it true?

The atmosphere in the hall became even more bizarre. The other members didn't even dare to raise their heads, only daring to ponder these thoughts in their hearts, because it was too shocking and too blasphemous!

"The Magician" Forsi thought: Unbelievable, simply unbelievable, this is... this is the most bizarre story I've ever heard! Even more unbelievable is that it's likely not a story.

Klein also recalled that among the ancient god materials sacrificed by "Little Sun," the Elven King was indeed related to waves.

Alger recalled that the church's description of the elves said that they were an ugly and crude race, who liked to cook and eat human blood, etc. But those records also said that most of the elves were Beyonders of the "Sailor" pathway.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and asked, "Mr. Hermit, do you have any information about the elves or the Elven King?"

He felt that if he couldn't resolve the doubts in his heart, it would be very dangerous to explore the treasure rashly.

Even if he didn't explore the treasure, these things might affect his state.

"I have some here, not much, and it may not be important," Alger said with a smile. "If you want to know more, I can help you collect it."

Alger nodded: "Okay."

Then he asked, "May I ask what you need? How should I complete the transaction with you?"

Alger pondered for a moment before saying, "Today, let's complete the first transaction. I'll tell you what I know, and then you tell me how this ancient Elven document came about? Who was its previous owner?

"If there are any follow-ups, you can tell us about your treasure hunt experience.

"Next week, we'll do a more in-depth transaction. We can use pounds because I'm very short on money recently."

Audrey's eyes lit up when she heard this. She planned to use pounds to initiate a transaction with "The Hermit" later to learn more about the mysteries.

The question of the mystical symbols that had been mentioned before hadn't been clarified yet. She had always wanted to continue the transaction with "The Hermit," but Alger hadn't accepted transactions with pounds before, so she hadn't had a chance to ask.

"The Hanged Man" Alger, across from Audrey, said, "Okay."

He took a deep breath and said, "Let me start. More than ten days ago, I defeated a pirate group and seized this document written in ancient Elven script from them.

"At that time, the focus was on dividing the pounds and other wealth. No one took these documents seriously.

"It wasn't until we were on our way back that I flipped through these documents and discovered this information.

"Along with this document, there was also a notebook. The owner of this notebook was actually the famous Daken Tudor!"

The other members showed a little confusion, because none of them had heard of this name.

"You may not be very clear about this person," Alger smiled and said, "He was a great pirate three hundred years ago. At that time, the Raging Sea didn't have safe shipping routes, and there was no so-called Age of Exploration. The sea was more mysterious and dangerous than it is now.

"But ships were already sailing on the sea, because various countries already had some colonies in coastal areas, and it was cheaper to transport many goods by sea.

"At that time, there were no 'Pirate Generals' and 'Kings,' but Daken Tudor was the king of the sea in that era!

"It is said that he plundered mountains of treasure and established a huge pirate group. The four countries of the Northern Continent could not destroy him.

"Even in desperation, the Loen Kingdom and the Intis Republic at that time made him a nobleman and sent him a lot of wealth every year so that Tudor would spare their ships."

Audrey was very interested in this kind of legendary story. When she heard this, she asked, "There should have been official Beyonders at that time, right? Why didn't they go and capture this great pirate?"

Alger smiled, "You may not have been to the sea. It's too vast, and there are too many unknown areas and places to hide. Even angels wouldn't dare say they could find a fleet at sea."

Foresi asked, "What happened later? How did this great pirate disappear?"

"It is said that in a summer, Tudor went to war with the Storm Church," Alger said solemnly. "A long time ago, when I first saw the records about Tudor, I felt very strange. Why did he challenge the Storm Church?

"He was his own king of the sea, and the Storm Church didn't bother to care, but if he took the initiative to provoke the Storm Church, it would be different. The true master of the sea is the Storm Church!

"Today I know that this great pirate hated the Storm Church. The power of hatred even made him overestimate his own strength and do such a thing."

Alger asked, "Is he a descendant of the elves?"

He didn't find it surprising. The Beyonders of this pathway are all "irritable old men." If they don't agree, they'll fight. If they can't win, they'll just die.

The elves and the Storm Church originally had a deep-seated hatred. It was already rare for this great pirate to endure until he had established a huge pirate group before taking action.

"Yes, Tudor has a title called 'The Last Elf,'" Alger replied. "It is said that he possessed many secrets of the elves."

There is no mistake, a first, a first, a content, a look!

He paused and said, "Through Tudor's notebook, I learned about his treasure and obtained the clues he wrote in ancient Elven script.

"Tudor probably didn't expect that his challenge to the Storm Church would lead the church to launch a large-scale campaign to eliminate the elves.

"It is said that at that time, some islands still scattered some elven tribes. In this operation, the elves completely disappeared from people's sight, and no elf understood ancient Elven anymore."

Alger said with emotion: "Reality is really ironic."

Everyone was stunned and felt the same way.

Alger organized his words and said, "I saw in some ancient materials that the Elven King is called Soniasolem."

Klein and Alger immediately realized that this was the name of an ancient god. "The Hermit" actually said the name of an ancient god right away!

Audrey and Forsi didn't have any concept of "ancient gods" yet. They still thought that the Elven King was like the current King of Loen or other national leaders.

"Little Sun" was listening to the story throughout this Tarot Club meeting. After all, he didn't feel any connection to the events of the North and South Continents.

Alger paused before asking, "Don't you find the first half of this name familiar?"

"Sonia..." Audrey was reminded by this and realized: "On the east side of the Northern Continent is Sonia Island, and on the east side of the Raging Sea is Sonia Sea."

Sonia Island is currently the largest island at sea, about the size of two counties of the Loen Kingdom. It is rich in resources and its location is very important, located between Loen and Falsac.

Alger smiled and said, "That's right. It is said that in the early Fourth Epoch, Sonia Island and Sonia Sea were still the territory of the elves.

"Until the end of the 'War of the Four Emperors,' the Northern Continent stopped the millennia-long conflict. The Falsac Empire and the Loen Kingdom on the east side of the continent began to compete for Sonia Island, which was not very far from the continent.

"When we were discussing the elves just now, I suddenly thought that the Loen Kingdom's seizure of this island should have the secret support of the Storm Church.

"The elves have always regarded the Storm Church as a mortal enemy, and the Loen royal family basically believes in 'The Lord of Storms.' As long as Sonia Island is brought under the rule of the Loen Kingdom, the elves will lose their last base.

"Although I haven't seen this kind of historical material, from a normal perspective, it may not have initially involved a full-scale war between Loen and Falsac.

"But in the eyes of the Falsac people, if Loen seized Sonia Island, it could use it as a base to attack Falsac, and vice versa.

Thus, the two countries began to clash repeatedly over this island, finally erupting into the 'Twenty-Year War' in the year 621 of the Fifth Epoch. Ultimately, Loen was defeated, and Sonia Island came under the control of Falsack.

At this point, Audis said solemnly, "The biggest loser in this battle was not Loen, but the elves."

"They were attacked in turn by the two countries. At the end of the Fourth Epoch or the beginning of the Fifth Epoch, they had no choice but to leave their last refuge, named after the Elven King, and flee to remote islands in the Sonia Sea and the Rage Sea to live."

Thank you all for your monthly tickets. Here's an extra chapter as a token of my appreciation.
