Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Of course, Audis wouldn't let this opportunity pass and asked the "Demon Monarch" some questions.

After all, this evil god is the "longest-lived" ancient god, having survived from the Second Epoch to the Fifth Epoch, so He should know many secret histories.

Seeing that the "Demon Monarch" didn't object, Audis asked: "Was the 'Giant King' really killed by the current 'God of War', who then seized the authority over the 'Twilight Giants'?"

"Yes."

Audis took a deep breath. This was a conjecture he had before, and now it was finally confirmed. So he asked again: "During the Second Epoch, was the god war regarding the 'Progenitor of the Blood Clan' a plan of the 'Progenitor of the Blood Clan'?"

"Yes." Dylan didn't know what they were talking about, but faithfully conveyed the meaning of the "Demon Monarch": "Lilith used Omebella, but Lilith made a serious misjudgment and failed to complete the resurrection according to Her plan."

This was also a guess of Audis. After confirming this guess, the history of the Second Epoch suddenly became much clearer.

"In exchange, it's my turn to ask questions."

Audis was stunned: "What questions can I answer for You?"

"What are you?"

"I..." Audis didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Am I a Beyonder?

Am I a transmigrator?

How should I describe myself?

Before Audis could answer, Dylan conveyed the words of the "Demon Monarch": "I understand."

Audis was stunned: What the hell do you understand?

So he asked, "You said I was special before, where am I special?"

"You are not a physical entity."

Audis was stunned: "Not a physical entity?"

"It seems that you haven't realized this yet, perhaps your current level is not enough to retrieve some of your memories."

Audis was stunned for a moment, recalling his previous associations between himself and the "Wilderness of Knowledge", and immediately realized that things might be more complicated than he thought.

However, he was more worried now: "Can every god see the specialness in me?"

"No, I have the authority related to 'bodily fluids', so I can perceive that your essence is fictional, or rather, simulated."

Audis opened his mouth, suddenly having a bold idea: Could it be that I am the consciousness generated by the "Wilderness of Knowledge"?

Then he denied his idea, because he had memories from before his transmigration, and was undoubtedly a transmigrator.

At this time, the "Demon Monarch" asked again: "Do you intend to stay in Backlund forever?"

"That's not the case." Audis smiled: "It's just that I can't escape."

"There will be a way."

Audis asked again: "Is my destiny affected by some kind of power?"

Recently, he always encountered some high-level events, first Triss's attempt to escape "0-08", then the "Unextinguished Muttering's" attempt to descend into the real world, and now he encountered the "Demon Monarch".

"Yes."

Audis took a deep breath: "As expected."

Then he asked: "Who is influencing me?"

"Don't know."

Audis was stunned: "You don't know either?"

"I am not 'omniscient and omnipotent'." The "Demon Monarch" said: "Okay, our conversation ends here, continuing to talk will put me at risk of exposure.

"We will have a chance to continue chatting in the future."

He paused and said: "You are the most knowledgeable and most excellent wizard I have ever seen."

In that instant, Audis's spirituality was like boiling water, as if tumbling inside him.

Then his spirit body felt an unprecedented comfort, which was the feeling of the potion being digested quickly!

In the next second, Audis immediately realized that the potion in his body was only a little bit away from being completely digested!

This was the power of a god. Just one sentence from Him was more useful than all of Audis's acting!

Somewhat excited, Audis tried to calm himself down: "One last question, why did you answer those questions above? Why help me?"

This "Demon Monarch" symbolizing "depravity" actually answered so many questions and looked so harmless. The key point was that he even took the initiative to help Audis digest the potion.

This sounded very strange.

"We have met before, but you have forgotten. And now answering your questions is just a transaction and an investment."

Audis was stunned: "Investing in a Sequence 7?"

Dylan paused for a few seconds before saying: "He just chuckled twice."

Audis took a deep breath: "I understand."

He pinched his forehead irritably. He had been guessing what was affecting him, so he kept encountering three high-level events in a row.

Audis recalled the previous exploration of the Trenchesost Ruins with Bernadette, which made him speculate: Could it be that the magic circle didn't block the power of the "Outer God", letting the "Outer God" affect me?

Then he felt it was unlikely, because at that time, the "Outer God" had not yet established a connection with the real world.

Audis suddenly thought of the thin-necked glass bottle on the stone platform. He now suspected that the thin-necked glass bottle might have affected him.

He decided to find an opportunity to talk to Bernadette about this issue and return to the Fourth Epoch ruins to confirm his guess.

"Mr. Wizard, can I put on the top hat now?" Dylan, who was sitting opposite, asked.

Audis came back to his senses: "Sorry, I was distracted just now, put on the hat."

Then he said: "You must help me keep today's conversation with that existence a secret."

Dylan and Payne both said that there was no problem. Then Dylan paid 200 pounds in banknotes, and this commission was completely completed.

Audis handed Dylan an envelope: "You will definitely have to take off your top hat when you get a haircut, but as long as it doesn't leave one meter above your head and three meters around your body, it's fine.

"You also need to find something to hang it up when you sleep, always keeping it in a position above you.

"In addition, this hat needs to be maintained once a year. If I am still in Backlund at that time, you can come to me for maintenance.

"If I am not in Backlund, you can go to Kyle Herbalist Shop at 51 Henry Street and ask Manager Kaina to help with the maintenance."

The envelope contained the design drawing of the top hat and the maintenance method.

Kaina had helped Audis complete the production of the "Arrow of Flames", so maintaining it was not a problem.

Dylan was a little worried: "During the maintenance, I won't be protected by the top hat?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you occasionally move away from this top hat." Audis smiled: "Because you still have more than two years before you die. As long as the total time without the protection of the hat does not exceed this time within twenty years, you are safe."

The reason why Dylan would die was because of the erosion of the "Demon Monarch".

This top hat can effectively block this erosion, so the total time Dylan is eroded should not exceed three years.

After sending Dylan and Payne away, Audis fell into deep thought again.

It was very dangerous to always encounter high-level events like this. Events related to "0-08" and events related to the "Demon Monarch" didn't seem to be dangerous.

But no one could say whether Audis would be so lucky next time.

Audis recalled that there was a "Fate Serpent" in Backlund, should he go find Him to change his luck?

But he thought about it again, that "Fate Serpent" seemed to have just "rebooted" and had very limited power, he wondered if he could help himself?

At this time, Audis suddenly thought of the "Yellow and Black King who holds good luck", he wondered if "The Fool" had a way?

Tomorrow was the Tarot Gathering, Audis decided to ask "The World" about it first at the Tarot Gathering.

Taking a deep breath, Audis thought: What needs to be done still needs to be done.

No mistakes, first release, first content, first look!

He locked the door from the inside, then took out the high-grade spiritual materials he had purchased before from the "Wilderness of Knowledge" and began to make the materials for the high-grade magic circle he was going to draw next.

He was busy until night before basically completing the production of the spiritual materials needed to draw the magic circle.

The next day, which was Monday morning, no customers came to the door, so Audis read a novel to pass the time.

After two o'clock in the afternoon, he returned to the second floor and lay on the easy chair, preparing to participate in this week's gathering.

At three o'clock sharp, Audis's vision was covered by gray fog. Almost in an instant, he appeared in a giant hall, sitting on one side of the bronze long table.

"Justice" Audrey was about to say hello as usual, but she immediately noticed that "Little Sun's" emotions were wrong, and immediately asked: "Mr. Sun, what happened? Is your exploration operation not going smoothly?"

"Sun" Derrick seemed to have grabbed hope and quickly said: "We...we encountered a strange power in the ruins.

"Without us noticing, we had actually explored the ruins five times!

"The first time, outside the temple of the Fallen Creator, all the animal skin lanterns went out, almost causing a tragedy.

"The second time, someone couldn't control himself and almost swallowed a 'mushroom', fortunately Chief Colin stopped him in time.

"The third time, the little boy..."

"Wait a minute." "Hanged Man" Alger said: "Are you saying that you explored the temple five times in a row, with only some minor differences."

Derrick immediately nodded: "Yes, that's right."

He realized that he didn't seem to have explained it clearly: "Each exploration process was similar. We followed the exploration route of the previous team, came to the temple, and saw some exquisite murals.

Then we arrived at the altar behind the temple, where we encountered a little boy. Each of the five explorations ended with the little boy's death, after which we returned to the camp outside the city, with no memory of the previous exploration.

After this re-examination, everyone understood what 'Sun' meant.

Audrys thought: I remember now, there were Uroboros murals there.

Before everyone could expand on these associations, Derrick, who had calmed down slightly, added, "This process was repeated five times, with only slight differences in the details.

"If it weren't for Mr. Fool's reminder, I wouldn't even know that I've been living a repeated life all this time."

"The Fool," Klein, maintained his aloof posture, nodding slightly, as if he knew everything.

But from the beginning until now, he was still somewhat dazed. It was only after hearing "Little Sun's" description that he understood what had happened.

Seeing Mr. Fool's calm and composed reaction, Derrick felt much more at ease. He looked at members like "Hermit" and "Hanged Man": "Do you know the root of the problem? How can it be solved?"

The enthusiastic Audrey instinctively wanted to answer, but found that she had no clue, not even a direction to guess.

"Magician" Fors was in a similar state to Audrey. She did use her writing imagination to come up with some conjectures, but those conjectures clearly couldn't help "Little Sun."

Klein wouldn't speak rashly before he was sure. Alger did have some guesses, but he didn't say them directly, instead looking at "Hermit."

"Hermit," Audrys, pretended to ponder for a moment and then said, "I should know what's going on. In this temple, there should be remnants of the power of 'Fate Angel' Uroboros."

Derrick immediately recalled: "One of the 'Angel Kings' we traded last week?"

"That's right, it's Him," Audrys said. "I saw in some ancient documents that this 'Fate Angel' likes to paint murals.

"It is estimated that the murals in the temple are his works. It is said that places where he leaves murals are accompanied by some high-level strange powers of the 'Fate' pathway."

He paused and said, "As for the way to end the cycle, the clue should be on that little boy?"

Only then did everyone recall that "Little Sun" did mention a little boy.

In a dark and gloomy temple where monsters could appear at any time, there was a little boy!

Just hearing about it made it feel very strange.

Alger seemed to have thought of something: "What's the little boy's name?"

Derrick replied: "He said his name was Jack."

Alger turned to "Justice" and said, "Didn't I mention that I once pursued a 'Listener' from the Aurora Order at sea? His purpose in going to sea was to find the sanctuary of the 'True Creator'."

Audrey carefully recalled: "It seems like there was such a thing."

That was a long time ago, before "Little Sun" had even joined the Tarot Club.

Alger continued: "That 'Listener' also took his child to sea, and that child was named Jack!"

Derrick was somewhat stunned: "Are you saying that Jack came from your world to the vicinity of Silver City?"

Immediately afterwards, his heart was filled with joy, because this meant that the area where Silver City was located was not completely sealed off, and there was still a chance to connect with the world where "Hanged Man" and the others were.

"I can't give you an accurate answer," Alger thought for a moment and then said, "You can find an opportunity to mention places like the Sonia Sea, the Loen Kingdom, etc., in front of the little boy, which may help you get rid of the current situation."

At this time, Audrys added, "The matter is already relatively clear. It is precisely because of the appearance of this little boy named Jack that the power in the murals was stimulated, causing you to fall into the cycle."

He smiled slightly and said, "Of course, this is my guess, but it should be close to the truth, after all, the previous exploration team also entered the temple and saw the murals, but they didn't encounter the little boy, nor did they fall into the cycle."
