Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Audis and Barney arrived at the Tuna Bar in a rented carriage. As soon as they entered, Barney saw Biddith at the bar, drinking beer and loudly boasting to the other patrons.

At the same time, Barney also noticed the bar's bouncers, as well as the bartenders and waiters.

The experienced Barney knew very well that going to "collect debts" at this time would only result in a beating.

Even if they went to the police... ha, ha, the Bayam police don't care about cases like fraud.

However, "Captain" didn't seem to see the bouncers at all, and walked unhurriedly towards the bar: "Biddith!"

Biddith had already seen Barney and "Captain", but he was still startled by "Captain's" shout, giving a shiver.

However, he immediately thought that the owner of the Tuna Bar was his good friend, and this was his territory, so he smiled and said: "So it's 'Captain' sir, let me buy you a drink..."

Audis had already walked to the bar and interrupted Biddith's words: "You have two choices. First, compensate 100 pounds. Second, I break both your legs, and then you compensate 100 pounds."

Biddith was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Hahaha..."

The bouncers in the bar also laughed.

Audis looked at them coldly.

Biddith asked: "You... you pig-headed bastard, are you kidding..."

Audis interrupted the other party's words again with practical action, suddenly lunging forward, sending Biddith flying and crashing into the wall.

This wasn't a Beyonder, Audis didn't need to waste a scroll at all.

"Woah ~"

Amidst the crowd's exclamations, Audis still walked unhurriedly towards Biddith.

Barney behind him was stunned: He just started fighting like that?

At this time, the experienced Barney realized: Either "Captain" didn't understand the background of these Bayam information peddlers, or he was completely confident in his own strength.

However, seeing "Captain's" calm and composed appearance, he thought the latter was more likely.

Biddith, half-dead from the fall, gasped and said: "You... you will... regret it..."

Audis ignored the other party's threat, and seemingly gently bent the other party's left leg, forming a triangle, then raised his hand, clenched his fist, and slammed it into the other party's diagonally erect calf bone.

Crack ~

With the sound of a bone breaking, Biddith's left leg bone snapped.

Then came Biddith's pig-slaughtering-like scream.

Audis, however, calmly stepped on his right hip: "Don't worry, don't worry, there's still one more."

Originally, the surrounding bouncers were about to come up to help immediately, but the scene in front of them made them stop.

Biddith struggled hard, even crying and shouting for help.

But only his upper body was struggling violently. His left leg was already broken, so he couldn't struggle, and his right leg was stepped on by this guy called "Captain", unable to move at all.

If this "Captain" was scolding while controlling Biddith, they wouldn't have felt anything.

But although "Captain" was wearing a mask, and they couldn't see the other party's expression, the other party's tone was too calm, as if what he was doing was washing clothes or cooking, a part of daily life.

This gave them a great shock, because they knew very well that such people were generally very powerful and not to be trifled with.

Audis bent down again and pulled up Biddith's other leg. At this time, Biddith finally regained a trace of sanity from fear and pain: "I'll pay, I'll pay that 10... no, 100 pounds!"

"Too late." Audis said: "You just chose the second path."

Saying that, he raised his hammer-like fist and slammed it down, and Biddith screamed like a pig again.

Audis stepped back a few steps, and while watching Biddith roll around there, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands: "We can discuss the matter of compensation now."

"I advise you not to go too far!" At this time, a burly man over 1.9 meters tall came down from the second floor quickly. He pointed at Audis with a cigarette in his hand: "What are you waiting for, grab him."

Audis put away his handkerchief: "Who are you?"

Barney immediately said: "This is the owner of the Tuna Bar, Mr. Barron."

Then he smiled and said: "Mr. Barron..."

He was just about to step forward to smooth things over, after all, Mr. Barron was not easy to mess with.

Who knew that before Barney could say anything, the so-called Mr. Barron had already been kicked back onto the stairs by Audis.

Audis ignored the bar owner and continued to ask Biddith under his feet: "Where is your money?"

Biddith said with a mournful face: "In... in..."

"Kid, you forced me to do this." Barron, the bar owner who had fallen half to death, struggled to get up, and at the same time, he had a revolver in his hand.

Audis suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Barron's wrist and twisted it back violently, already breaking the bar owner's wrist.

In the other party's expression of gritting his teeth in pain, Audis took the revolver with his other hand, unloaded all the bullets inside, and then threw the gun to the door.

Audis still ignored the bar owner and continued to return to Biddith, who was crawling outwards with both hands: "My patience is limited."

Biddith quickly took out his wallet, but there were only thirty or so pounds in his wallet, so he shouted to Barron: "For the sake of me having saved you before, lend me 70 pounds first!"

Barron glanced at Audis coldly, then supported his broken hand with his other hand and returned upstairs. Soon he brought 70 pounds.

Audis took the money and checked its authenticity while saying: "You must be thinking of investigating my background now, and then using despicable means to retaliate, right?"

He put away the money and smiled: "Welcome to come and die!"

Then, Audis bent down, snatched the wallet from Biddith's hand, and counted out 30 pounds.

After throwing the wallet back to Biddith, Audis said: "You are disqualified from participating in the intelligence exchange meeting."

After speaking, he left with Barney.

Barron first called a doctor to put a splint on his wrist and took some painkillers.

During this period, he had already asked Biddith for the address of the intelligence exchange meeting.

However, Barron was still a little uneasy, so he personally went to report this matter to the boss.

In Bayam's bars, either they are the property of gangs or pirates, or the bartender boss himself is a gang boss.

Barron worked for Bayam's largest gang, the "Skull Society". He came to the "Skull Society" headquarters and soon met the boss.

What he didn't expect was that after the boss heard him explain the matter roughly, he burst into a torrent of abuse: "Pig brain! What do you think the protection of the Anning Church means?

"It means that if you want to go and make trouble for him, even I will be arrested for no reason!"

Barron opened his mouth, not expecting things to be so serious!

"You donkey-brained idiot!" The more the boss scolded, the more afraid he became, almost being killed for no reason: "If you dare to provoke that guy, I will kill your whole family!"

Barron wiped his sweat and said: "I dare not, I dare not, I dare not go."

… …

On the carriage back.

Audis took out 10 pounds and handed it to Barney: "I will only help you once. Next time, you will have to pay a reward."

After all, he is now Sequence 6, and the appearance fee is very expensive.

Barney thanked him profusely, and after thanking him for a long time, he asked: "'Captain' sir, if I have things that can't be resolved outside of the intelligence exchange meeting, can I also ask you for help?"

He had already seen "Captain's" strength just now, which made him realize that now was a good time to find a backer.

Audis said: "That depends on what it is and what reward you can pay."

Barney said happily: "I understand."

Back at the Wizard Affairs Office, there were already people waiting there who had traded for fake information, seeking "Captain's" help.

Without saying a word, Audis went out and fought again.

These information peddlers are basically not good at fighting. At most, they are "Low Sequence" Beyonders, which are completely not Audis's opponents.

By nightfall, Audis had launched a total of three attacks, but what made him relatively satisfied was that no mistakes had occurred in the transactions he had verified, at least no one had come to him to say that they had traded for fake information.

And these three people who sought help did not ask Audis to verify the authenticity when trading information.

I believe that in a few days, his "Captain"'s name will definitely spread throughout Bayam, first of all because he can fight, and will provide help when encountering situations where fake information is traded.

The lightest of the three people who provided fake information had two molars knocked out.

Secondly, his ability to identify information is very strong. As long as he takes a look, he can basically immediately distinguish between true and false.

This is called professionalism.

In the evening, Bazel went to the grilled fish shop not far away to order a grilled fish, and asked the waiter at the grilled fish shop to deliver the fish and a bucket of fruit wine.

Audis also took off his mask, threw his cloak aside, and took a bite of the grilled fish before sighing: "It's still comfortable to eat grilled fish."

He took a sip of fruit wine and smiled: "Next time we have a gathering, these seats may not be enough."

This time he only put out 50 chairs.

Bazel nodded while eating the fish, he had no doubts about this.

Next, Audis began to explain to Bazel how to distinguish the authenticity of information. He planned to observe Bazel again. If it was possible, he would hand over the transactions here to him in the future.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Audis is still relatively satisfied with Bazel, who is serious, loyal, and reliable, but doesn't talk much.

Today Audis was relatively happy and drank a few more glasses of wine. After 9 pm, he saw that no one was coming to ask for help, so he returned to the Emerald Palace and had a good night's rest.

The next day, a new week began. Audiss first checked the assignments of some scholars, and then took them to the dock to discuss the issue of laying more arrays on the ship.

The large ship built for Bernadette is now basically formed, and other arrays can be arranged, and Audiss's new weapons can be installed.

As for Audiss's small boat, the bottom layer has also been completed, and some arrays can also be laid.

There is a lot of work this week, and Audiss will definitely be too busy to handle it alone, so he must make good use of these scholars.

But the problem is that they haven't finished learning the knowledge about the arrays. Some scholars are already a little desperate. They can even foresee that they will have to attend classes and work on the ship this week. They may only have four or five hours of rest each day.

But what they didn't expect was that Audiss didn't continue to give them classes on Monday, but gave them a half-day holiday, which immediately gave the scholars a bad premonition. Some people speculated, isn't this equivalent to the calm before the storm?

After Audiss had lunch, he immediately entered a working state again, returned to his room, and lay on the easy chair to enter the "Knowledge Wilderness" in a meditative way, continuing his previous research on "extracting knowledge."

At this time, he had found a carrier for temporarily storing knowledge through many experiments, which was the purified "Star Crystal". This is an extraordinary material, which is used by extraordinary people in several pathways such as "Seer" and "Apprentice".

Through the research and experiments of the past half month, Audiss found that only crystal-like materials rich in spirituality can temporarily store knowledge.

However, he simulated many kinds of crystals in the "Knowledge Wilderness", but the experimental results were not very satisfactory. After the extracted knowledge was stored in it, it was always a bit chaotic and incomplete.

At this time, Audiss suddenly thought of the knowledge stored in the "Brawler" characteristic. After comparison, he found that storing knowledge with extraordinary materials was more stable and complete.

But a new problem was placed in front of him. The extraordinary materials originally stored some knowledge, and those crystals contained not only knowledge, but also some extraordinary characteristics.

If these crystals are used to store knowledge and instill it, it is easy to only instill the knowledge in the crystals.

Those extraordinary characteristics will prevent Audiss from using spirituality to perform operations such as "selection" or "deletion".

Fortunately, Audiss is now Sequence 6, and can simply use the power of the angel level in some places, so he tried to temporarily block the extraordinary characteristics in those crystals at the angel level to complete the "formatting" processing of the knowledge in the crystals.

This experiment was successful last week. Although the process was a bit cumbersome, Audiss felt that having this procedure was also a kind of insurance.

The need for the angel level to perform some operations is equivalent to adding a gap that ordinary extraordinary people cannot cross to this process, which basically eliminates the abuse of this technology from the root.

Also last week, Audiss had applied to Bernadette for a 70-gram "Star Crystal".

Today, he plans to completely simulate the entire process of extracting knowledge and instilling knowledge in the "Knowledge Wilderness".

First, he took out the processed "Star Crystal", and then simulated a helmet with an array for extracting knowledge, put the "Star Crystal" in the groove on the top, and put it on his head.

The shape of this helmet is similar to the "Helmet of Wisdom", also tall and a bit strange looking.

The only difference is that two Amanda crystals are inlaid on the top of the helmet, while the "Helmet of Wisdom" only has one inlaid.

Using spirituality to activate the array in the helmet, the two crystals inlaid on it lit up. After Audiss entered a meditative state, he began to seriously recall the arrays in the large ship and all related knowledge.

This is the safest method of "extracting knowledge" that Audiss thought of. If the array is used to directly extract from the target's brain, it is impossible to distinguish which knowledge is needed, and it is easy to extract some irrelevant memories, or extract some secrets.

Using this method of meditation and recollection is equivalent to "outputting" knowledge outwards. Relatively speaking, the targeting is stronger and safer.

The "Extraction Helmet" is responsible for receiving. The working principle is actually the reverse of the "Helmet of Wisdom". After being "synchronized" with Audiss's brain, the array in the helmet converts the knowledge Audiss is meditating into a "spiritual signal" and stores it in the "Star Spirit Body".

After recalling it one by one, Audiss took off the helmet, took off the "Star Crystal", put it in his palm and felt it with his spirituality. The knowledge inside was relatively complete and there was no feeling of chaos.

Then Audiss simulated the "Helmet of Wisdom" again, put the "Star Crystal" in the position of the previous "Brawler" characteristic, and then simulated one hundred experimental subjects to instill the knowledge he had just extracted into them.

Without exception, all of them received it successfully!

Currently, Audiss can simulate experimental subjects in the "Knowledge Wilderness", without having to summon helpers from the underworld to help catch experimental products like when experimenting with the "Helmet of Wisdom" before.

After using the "Helmet of Wisdom" on each experimental subject, Audiss asked those experimental subjects one by one to confirm that they had basically completely received the knowledge.

However, in the experiment, Audiss also discovered a problem.

One of the experimental subjects was affected by the extraordinary characteristics in the "Star Crystal" and showed a reaction of being polluted.

Audiss recalled the process of using the "Helmet of Wisdom" before, and realized that there were still too few "use cases" before.

Strictly speaking, it was only used once, allowing more than 20 gang members to have the corresponding knowledge of fighting.

There were no signs of being polluted by extraordinary power at that time, but it does not necessarily mean that it will not be polluted.

After all, whether it is the characteristic of "Brawler" or the "Star Crystal", it contains extraordinary characteristics. Theoretically, there is no problem with short-term contact with this level of characteristics, but there is also a probability of "extraordinary leakage".

Audiss pondered for a while and decided to add another layer of array to the "Helmet of Wisdom" to isolate pollution.

After doing the experiment, Audiss brought the "Star Crystal" to the real world.

Although the "Extraction Helmet" was simulated in the "Knowledge Wilderness", only the "helmet" was simulated. The "Star Crystal" that had been "formatted" actually stored knowledge.

This is the second "anti-counterfeiting design" prepared by Audiss. He will not make the "Extraction Helmet" for the time being, but only extract knowledge in the "Knowledge Wilderness".

Then Audiss took out the "Helmet of Wisdom" again and performed the last step of modification on it.

This process was a bit cumbersome because he had to open it and add an "isolation array" inside.

During the modification process, Audiss's spirituality felt something and glanced at the wall clock. It was already 2:58.

So he got up, stretched, and lay down on the easy chair.

At three o'clock, Audiss's vision was covered by gray fog. The next second, he had appeared in a classical giant hall, sitting on one side of the bronze long table.

Audiss found that there was a new member opposite the bronze long table. From the other person's penetrating gaze, Audiss judged that it was Cattleya!

Then Audiss felt a little guilty, wondering what "Star Admiral" Cattleya's code name was?

The appearance of the new member made "Justice" Audrey's greeting a second or two later than usual: "Good afternoon, Mr. 'Fool'."

"The Fool" Klein's lips curled slightly, and he nodded slightly as a response.

"Good afternoon, Mr. 'Hanged Man'..." As the greeting session proceeded as usual, it was also equivalent to introducing the code names of the original members to the new member.

"The Hanged Man" Alger responded to "Justice"'s greeting and began to cautiously look at the newly joined member: female, wearing a black robe with many patterns on it, barely able to see that her hair was black, but her slightly purplish eyes were very obvious.

Suddenly, his heart sank, and the "Star Admiral" Cattleya he had seen at the Pirate Conference a few months ago appeared in his mind.

Alger immediately became very cautious: Could it be her?

Alger, who is also on the sea, has a strong sense of vigilance against pirate generals.

At the same time, Cattleya was also observing other members: "The Hanged Man", a middle-aged man in his thirties, with messy hair, a relatively rare dark blue color, wearing a robe with storm and wave patterns... a member of the Storm Church?

"The Sun", not very old, with a rare clothing style that has a simple and elegant beauty.

"The World", not an old man... huh? He has a feeling of being non-living.

"The Magician", a young woman, wearing a common Ruen-style dress, looking a little lazy.

"The Hermit", wearing a complete Intis-style formal suit, looking very easy-going... alas, I actually wanted to choose the "Hermit" card, but unfortunately he chose it first. I wonder what pathway of extraordinary person he is?

"The Moon", a young man, with red pupils, wearing a priest's robe of the Earth Mother. There is only one possibility for such a combination, a vampire.

"Justice", valuable jewelry, a simple yet beautiful waist-hugging dress, the work of a master-level fashion designer, a Ruen noble?

Cattleya observed quietly. This was her first time attending a gathering, and she planned to watch and listen more and talk less.

At this time, Klein introduced: "This is the new member 'The High Priestess', you can call her Ms. 'Priestess'."

Audrey smiled and said, "Good afternoon, Ms. 'Priestess'."

Cattleya replied concisely: "Good afternoon."

With the greeting session over, Audrey turned to the head of the bronze long table: "Mr. 'Fool', I only collected one page of the Roselle Diary last week."

Roselle's Diary?

Cattleya struggled to resist the urge to quickly turn her head, her mind recalling the tall and beautiful figure who had once sighed, "Those aren't notes, they're his diary."

A sense of shock washed over her: Did all the members of the Tarot Club know that the Roselle Notes were a diary?

However, Cattleya concealed her surprise well, calmly observing the way "Justice" manifested the diary page and how it instantly appeared in Mr. "Fool's" hand.

With her extensive knowledge of mysticism, she roughly understood how "Justice" had "expressed" that page of the diary.

At this moment, "The Magician" also sacrificed three pages of the diary to "The Fool," and then Cattleya witnessed another scene that astonished her: The Fool was reading those diaries!

He collected the diary not to decipher it, not to study it, but to read it!

Who… who exactly is He?

Unspeakable horror and fear surged within Cattleya.

She quickly averted her gaze and looked at the bronze long table, as if the ancient patterns on the tabletop were a captivating novel.

This… this didn't seem surprising either.

With her strong mental fortitude, Cattleya quickly calmed down: This was an ancient god, and any shocking action He took seemed unsurprising.

Having calmed down, Cattleya noticed that the towering palace was silent, and she immediately realized: This wasn't the first time this had happened; Mr. "Fool" had a habit of reading Roselle's diary during the Tarot Club meetings.

Experienced Cattleya didn't ask any questions, but continued to observe.

A few minutes later, "The Fool," Klein, said, "You may begin."

At this moment, Alger was still carefully examining himself, wondering if he had exposed his identity.

He felt that the most revealing thing about him was the Storm Bishop's robe he was wearing.

But there was nothing he could do about it. After going to sea, he was not only a captain but also a bishop to those sailors, and he had to wear the corresponding attire to hold Mass regularly.

If he didn't show his piety in his daily behavior, he might be reported by a subordinate one day.

Because of the addition of a new member, everyone was somewhat restrained. "The Moon," Emlyn, was a little strange: Why wasn't anyone actively initiating a transaction today?

So he was the first to speak, "Mr. 'Hanged Man,' I'm ready. When can you get the inheritance of that vampire baron? You mentioned last time that it was in the hands of a pirate."

Alger suddenly felt a little stiff: You didn't have to add that last sentence.

"The Priestess," Cattleya's gaze immediately swept towards "The Hanged Man" again: A pirate?

However, the old fox Alger concealed the turmoil in his heart very well, calmly turning his head to ask "The Moon," "Did you get the cash?

"Of course," Emlyn said, raising his chin.

The Marquis had actually given him more than seven thousand pounds at once!

"I will get it for you within this week," Alger said, "Let me confirm the price one last time, 4500 pounds, is that okay?

Emlyn thought about the puppet in his room, his eyes darting around, "Uh… okay, can it be cheaper?

"This is not something I can decide, but I can try to bargain for you," Alger's tone remained unchanged, "Also, don't forget my commission, how about a little less, 300 pounds?

Emlyn recalled that "The Hanged Man" hadn't bargained at all during their transaction at the last gathering. If he bargained now, he felt it would damage the image of the vampires.

After gritting his teeth, Emlyn said, "Okay."

Cattleya silently watched from the sidelines, making a judgment: Not a very strong vampire, perhaps just an adult.

Seeing that the first transaction had ended, "The Sun," Derrick, raised his hand slightly like "Justice," "Does anyone have the 'Fruit of the Radiant Chire Tree'?

He had collected the other materials for the "Sun High Priest" quite smoothly.

Cattleya decided to intervene in a small transaction to gain a deeper understanding of how the Tarot Club operated: "I have it."

"Little Sun" said, "Um… I can exchange it for the history of Silver City, the history of elves, dragons, and other dark creatures.

"Madam 'Priestess,' here is a list of common monsters in the area around Silver City. You can choose the materials you need from it.

"If you really want gold pounds, I can borrow them from Mr. 'Hermit.'"

And then repay it with extraordinary materials.

The reason he said it in such detail was mainly to take care of the fact that Madam "Priestess" was attending the gathering for the first time and didn't know much about his situation.

"Justice," Audrey, thought to herself: "The Sun" has matured a lot now, but he is still as sincere as before.

Cattleya thought about it carefully before she roughly understood what "The Sun" meant, and immediately came up with a plan that best suited her own interests: "I want to take a look at the common monsters in the area around Silver City before making a decision."

Behind the gray fog, Klein sighed inwardly: Here comes another wool gatherer.

"Okay," Derrick said, immediately manifesting the list after obtaining "The Fool's" consent.

The transaction with "The Hermit" had made him realize the difference in the value of extraordinary materials between Silver City and the outside world.

Although Derrick was sincere, he also knew how to obtain the greatest benefit at his smallest cost.

Cattleya took the information and looked at it carefully. The more she looked, the more shocked she became, because the number of monsters exceeded her imagination.

Moreover, most of them used ancient names. If she weren't a member of the Moses Ascetic Order and usually paid attention to the collection and accumulation of knowledge, she wouldn't be able to understand this information at all.

This made Cattleya wonder: Where is Silver City? Is it surrounded by monsters?

A dozen seconds later, Cattleya raised her head and said in a calm tone, "Let's exchange it for the history of Silver City."

"Okay," Derrick manifested the outline of Silver City's history from the general knowledge class.

Having a lot of experience, he knew that more complete and detailed content was much more valuable than the "Fruit of the Radiant Chire Tree" in the "outside world," so he kept some back.

Cattleya knew that she wasn't Mr. "Fool" and couldn't make the members wait patiently for her to read, so she flipped through it casually, confirmed the value, and then asked cautiously, "How should I give you the 'Fruit of the Radiant Chire Tree'?"

"Justice," Audrey, was eager to try and was about to explain to the new member when she heard Madam "Priestess" ask again, "Mr. 'Fool,' is it done through sacrifice?"

Audrey was somewhat disappointed: Madam "Priestess" is very powerful and knowledgeable.

"The Fool," Klein, grunted, considering it an answer.

Cattleya said to Derrick, "I will get the main material for you as soon as possible."

After this transaction ended, "The Hermit," Audis, said, "Help me look out for the Glittering Star Tree or clues to the Tricky Pegasus."

These two extraordinary creatures contained the main and auxiliary materials for his "Astrologer."

As an "Astrologer," Cattleya suddenly looked up at "The Hermit": The same pathway as me?

Immediately, she saw "The Hermit" looking at her with a calm smile. At that moment, she immediately realized: He already guessed who I am! And he doesn't care if I know his extraordinary pathway!
