Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Audis pondered for a moment, guessing that the woman with a sense of vicissitudes in her eyes should be one of the "Ten Pillars" of the current "Moses Ascetic Order."

Apparently, in the late Fourth Epoch, or in the Fifth Epoch, a "Guthrie Staff" was taken away by the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery.

In that case, the whereabouts of the remaining nine "Guthrie Staffs" are basically clear.

Four are suspected to be on alien planets, two are in the "Land Abandoned by God", one is in the rainy meadow, and the last two are in the hands of the demigods of the Steam Church and the "Moses Ascetic Order."

If they are to be recovered, the staff in the rainy meadow seems to be the easiest to recover.

Immediately, Audis noticed that there were ten "Guthrie Staffs" in total, and there were "Ten Pillars" in the "Moses Ascetic Order." Is this a coincidence? Could it be that each "Pillar" originally had a "Guthrie Staff" in their hands?

Thinking of this, Audis recalled his conversation with Theresa, in which the "Sage" described the "Pillars."

At that time, he was touched because he felt that it was not something that people in this mysterious world could say, and it could even be initially determined that the "Sage" was also a transmigrator.

So Audis guessed that the "Knowledge Wilderness" should also have a structure similar to the "Source Castle" that "stores transmigrators," and would periodically directly project a transmigrator into reality.

But what Audis couldn't understand was, who wanted to use the "Knowledge Wilderness" to resurrect?

First of all, it couldn't be "God" and "Heavenly Venerate," so who could it be? Who else can use "Original Quality" to achieve some of their goals?

Audis slapped his forehead, also because there were too few clues, and he didn't even know which direction to think in.

Finally, Audis recalled Theresa's description of the "Barrier" and the Outer Gods. He didn't expect that the Outer Gods were actually in a relatively rampant state during the Second and Fourth Epochs.

However, he recalled it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. The "Fallen Mother Goddess" had some influence on Lilith, the "Progenitor of the Vampires," during the Second Epoch, and even contaminated this ancient god to a certain extent.

And in the Fourth Epoch, it can be determined that both "Black Emperor" Solomon and "Night Emperor" Trenssost seemed to have established a certain connection with the "Uncertain Mist."

This is what Audis knew, and there may be some unknown situations.

In the Third Epoch, with the "Ancient Sun God" present, the Outer Gods certainly did not dare to reach into the "Barrier," otherwise they would likely be beaten up.

By the Fifth Epoch, it seemed that apart from the arrival of the "Divine Aberration" Sia, there were basically no traces of the Outer Gods.

Moreover, Sia's arrival did not seem to have caused too serious consequences. In that case, since the Fifth Epoch, the real world has been relatively safe.

This situation is thanks to the Seven Gods moving the God Kingdom to the Astral World to "plug the holes"?

Recalling Theresa's description, Audis couldn't help but suspect at this time, is this the "Sage's" plan?

After all, in Audis's opinion, the loopholes in the "Barrier" are not ordinary "holes."

The specific way to plug them should require a unified process, and also pay attention to "methods," after all, the "Seven Gods" also have to directly face the Outer Gods.

Their level is still half a sequence lower, and if they are not careful, there is a risk of being contaminated.

Thinking of this, Audis suddenly smiled, because this question also lacks sufficient clues. He can't just pray to the "Goddess of the Night" and ask her if she was put up there by the "Sage"?

If he asks that, what is likely to respond to him are two big slaps!

No, it could also be eight.

Taking a deep breath, Audis decided not to consider these questions for now.

He took the "Guthrie Staff," and touched the "Central Processing Unit" again with his other hand, to see if he could analyze the staff.

Only by using the level of the "Knowledge Wilderness" could he know that the crystal level on this staff was quite high, even reaching the spiritual material of the level of the gods.

This material makes it impossible to mass-produce this staff at all.

Audis pondered for a moment, conjured a crystal ball, and then used the ability of the "Knowledge Wilderness" to perform "astrology."

He silently recited in his heart: "The manufacturing process of the Guthrie Staff."

"The manufacturing process of the Guthrie Staff."

"… …"

After silently reciting it seven times, Audis looked at the crystal ball that showed a constellation. This constellation was very complicated, and it took him a long time to roughly understand what was going on.

"Astrology" is different from "divination." "Astrology" cannot directly see the picture, but can only see different constellations, and understand the divination result by analyzing the constellations.

There is no need to worry too much about the interpretation. The spirituality of the "Astrologer" can basically make a correct understanding.

Even so, you can't ask too complicated questions. If it is in the outside world, Audis would divide it into several "astrology" sessions, such as asking for the first time whether the "Guthrie Staff" was made by the elves? The second time, ask if the "Guthrie Staff" has anything to do with the "Sage"?

However, in the "Knowledge Wilderness," you can ask complicated questions such as "the manufacturing process of the Guthrie Staff," and the final constellation obtained will also be very complicated.

According to the constellation, the crystal at the top of the Guthrie Staff came from the Outer God. It seems that the "Sage" tore off the material from the Outer God, and after the "Sage" processed it, he entrusted the elves to make ten staffs.

This interpretation also stunned Audis, he didn't expect the level of the "Guthrie Staff" to be so high!

However, he understood why the Guthrie Staff appeared on alien planets.

It turned out that the main material came from the Outer God.

Then Audis used the crystal ball for "astrology" again. This time, the question he silently recited in his heart was: "Why are there Guthrie Staffs on alien planets?"

After silently reciting it seven times, another complicated constellation appeared in the crystal ball.

Audis interpreted it and understood that the "Ten Pillars" of the "Moses Ascetic Order" used to fight the angels of the "Outer Gods" frequently. The "Guthrie Staffs" on the alien planets were taken away from the earth by the angels of the "Outer Gods" after the members of the "Ten Pillars" fell and there was no time to recover them.

This result made Audis feel awe, because it proved from the side that the "Moses Ascetic Order" really fought the Outer Gods with their lives back then.

In this regard, Audis felt that if there was a chance, he should try to recover those "Guthrie Staffs" as much as possible.

After solving all the doubts in his heart in the "Knowledge Wilderness," Audis returned to the real world and brought out the "Guthrie Staff" as well.

He planned to make a leather case after going back and hang it on his waist to specially store and protect the "Guthrie Staff."

Then he began to consider the plan after going back. Now that he has obtained one main material, it seems that it is not very difficult to obtain the other main material.

However, the promotion ritual seems to be a bit difficult. Audis remembers that a drop of blood from a "mythical creature" is required.

If he has to wait for the umbilical cord blood of the "Serpent of Destiny," it seems that he will have to wait a few more months.

There is also the issue of digesting the potion. So far, the "Astrologer's" potion has not been digested by a quarter. At this rate, it will take at least half a year to complete the digestion.

Audis believes that he should actively look for opportunities to digest the potion whenever he has time after going back.

Just like Klein would go to the hospital to do volunteer work to find opportunities to digest the potion, he also plans to follow his previous idea and go to strange islands to be a charlatan to see if the potion can be digested as a result.

There are also many other things to do, such as finding demigod-level characteristics with "Rear Admiral Iceberg," the "Pirate Conference," the assassination of Duke Negan, and so on.

At this time, the voice of the first mate Rupert sounded in the "Voice Transmission Formation": "Captain, we see the 'Future'号."

Audis was stunned, he didn't expect to meet again so soon.

He took out the crystal ball and contacted "Admiral of the Stars," looking at Cattleya's figure in the crystal ball, Audis asked: "Have you achieved your goal?"

Cattleya said: "Achieved."

"I have also achieved my goal." Audis said: "How about forming a fleet to return together?"

"No problem."

So Audis contacted Edwina again, informing her of the re-formation of the fleet, and conveyed the order to the cockpit.

There was nothing to do today, so Audis poured himself a glass of red wine, as a celebration of the complete success of the previous operation.

"It seems that your hunt was very successful." Bernadette appeared next to Audis with a smile.

Audis got up and went to pour wine for Bernadette while saying: "I also want to thank you for providing the clues, which allowed me to find the 'Psychedelic Red Coral' more easily."

Bernadette took the wine glass: "Congratulations to you."

"Thank you."

The two people clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Bernadette looked around: "It seems that this is the first time I have come to your studio."

Audis nodded: "It is indeed the first time.

"How does it feel?"

Bernadette sat on the chair: "It's a bit like a 'Craftsman's' workshop, but it's much more organized than their workshops."

Audis sat on the workbench, chatting with Bernadette: "That's for sure, the biggest characteristic of a 'Seer' is composure."

This is quite similar to a "Magician," only by being fully prepared can you be more composed.

Audis asked: "After returning to the real world, are you still planning to go back to Backlund?"

"Yes," Bernadette took a deep breath: "I predicted that there will be big things happening there, maybe I will find a promotion…"

Speaking of this, Bernadette, who is very clear about what the difficulties of her promotion are, let out a sigh and did not continue to speak.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Audis consoled, "You are Sequence 3 now, that's already amazing."

Bernadette shook her head and said, "It's merely the ability to protect myself."

And that's only with a Level 0 Sealed Artifact that I have the ability to protect myself.

This Sequence is actually quite awkward, already considered a 'High Sequence,' but only just able to come into contact with 'High Sequence' things.

It's precisely because I understand what a 'High Sequence' is that I know how weak I am.

"The main reason is that your organization is developing too well." Audis smiled and advised from another angle, "If you were alone, Sequence 3 would be enough.

"But if the organization develops to a certain extent, you need a certain amount of strength to protect your subordinates."

Bernadette was slightly stunned, "I suddenly feel like what you said makes a lot of sense."

"It makes sense in the first place." Audis got off the workbench and poured two more glasses of wine, "Relax, don't push yourself too hard."

The two clinked glasses again and each took a sip.

Bernadette smiled, "The principle is the principle, but I still need to advance as soon as possible.

"That way, I can provide you with more protection, and some of your inventions can be released ahead of schedule."

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, and then suddenly stood up and said, "I have something else to do, I'll leave first."

"Oh, right, I came to tell you." Bernadette stopped and said, "The other main ingredient is in the Misty Sea. My suggestion is to wait until your 'Astrologer' potion is almost digested before I take you there."

Audis nodded, "No problem."

The next second, Bernadette disappeared from the studio.

Looking at the empty studio, Audis was stunned for a few seconds before scratching his head and sitting down again, feeling somewhat complicated for a moment.

Obviously, the 'Mystic Queen' felt that her words were a bit too direct just now, so she immediately offered to leave.

Audis also didn't expect that Bernadette's reason for wanting to advance as soon as possible also included him.

Because it was always noon outside, Audis didn't know if it should be night or day now.

When eating dinner in the dining room, night fell. Audis quickly returned to his room, only to find that Bernadette had already taken the liberty of lying on his armchair and pointing towards the bed, signaling Audis to go to bed.

This made him slightly stunned, wondering if Bernadette had come to the armchair, which was only a wall away, after she disappeared just now?

But now is not the time to think about this question. Audis lay down on the bed and entered a dream in a trance.

This time, Audis appeared in the courtyard of the Black Monastery. Bernadette was beside him, and a little further away were the crew members of the other three ships.

The "Mystic Queen" said, "I'll show you a good show later."

Audis smiled, "It's not that you're going to blow up this monastery, is it?"

The First Mate Bivis, not far away, suddenly said! "No, you can't blow it up!

"It's very dangerous!"

Audis was stunned. At first, he thought that the other party also had the ability to maintain consciousness in the dream.

But soon he realized that the other party's eyes were still dazed, and the answer just now was more like a subconscious response.

This made Audis feel a little strange, because Bivis should be coming to the "God War Ruins" for the first time, and shouldn't know much about this place.

So Audis asked, "Why do you think this place can't be blown up!"

"It's very dangerous!" Bivis still said somewhat blankly, "It's very dangerous!"

Audis pressed, "What specific dangers are there?"

"We will all die." Bivis suddenly pinched his temples and said, "Since I was little, there has been a voice in my head that keeps telling me to go to the end of the Sunia Sea.

"Now that I'm here, that voice has disappeared again.

"Before, that voice told me that he was imprisoned in a black monastery here, and told me that I must come and find him.

"But the monastery cannot be destroyed, because if that happens, everyone will die!"

Bernadette was also attracted by Bivis's answer, and she asked Audis, "What's special about your First Mate? Why is he attracted by the voice here?"

"I don't know." Audis said, "He has never mentioned this before."

But he quickly recalled, "Before joining my pirate group, he did say more than once that one day he would go to the end of the Sunia Sea to take a look.

"At the time, I thought he wanted to come to this 'God War Ruins' to study it."

Bernadette reminded, "Hearing some strange voices is not a good thing, you have to take it seriously."

Audis gave an "Mm" sound, "I'll talk to the First Mate about this matter when I get back."

At this time, the door of the monastery's main hall, which is the hall where Audis and Klein met Anderson, was suddenly pushed open, and a man in a linen short robe rushed out quickly.

Bernadette simply explained, "This is a Saint of the 'Aurora Order,' named Leomaster."

Audis suddenly recalled that in the black monastery, there seemed to be a demigod of the "Aurora Order" who had "split personality" here, and the kind side and the evil side were hiding and chasing each other.

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

The one who came out just now should be the kind side of Leomaster.

The other party didn't seem to see Audis and Bernadette, and quickly ran towards the door.

Then, a tall figure in black full-body armor chased out, carrying a huge straight sword.

Just looking at the other party's ferocious appearance, you can tell that this is the evil side of Leomaster.

They were running in front and chasing behind, and kept leaving the black monastery and running to the mountain outside the monastery.

Bernadette and Audis also followed closely behind. At the same time, Audis also noticed that Klein also chased out from the hall just now, presumably wanting to see what Leomaster was planning to do?

Soon, they came to the edge of the cliff on the mountain. The kind side of Leomaster, who was running in front, prayed to the "Giant Court" projection across the cliff in ancient Hermes language: "O Lord who creates everything; You are the all-knowing and all-powerful one.

"You are the source of all greatness, You are the beginning and the end.

"You are the God of Gods, You are the ruler of the vast starry sky."

As this honorable name ended, the canyon that separated the two mountains suddenly trembled, and a passage rose up, as if leading directly to the "Giant Court".

At this time, Bernadette suddenly raised her hand, and the two Leomasters suddenly disappeared.

She simply explained, "I sent them back to the monastery."

Audis pretended to understand, "You want to use that Saint of the 'Aurora Order' to find a way to enter the 'Giant Court'?"

Bernadette gave an "Mm" sound as an answer.

At this time, Klein was also standing not far away, looking at the passage in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.

"This passage is wrong." Bernadette stared at the passage for a while and suddenly said, "It can't go to the 'Giant Court', nor can it go to the 'Land of the Forsaken', it will only enter a very dangerous dreamland."

Audis asked, "Do you want to go to the 'Land of the Forsaken'?"

"No." Bernadette smiled and said, "I just want to find a way to get there."

Klein, not far away, looked over, and he noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the way the two people were talking.

After thinking about it for a while, he realized: When talking to me, the "Mystic Queen" always kept a straight face, but when talking to Mr. Gehr, she seemed to have a kind of free and easy feeling.

Thinking of this, Klein glanced at the two chatting people again: Emperor, the cabbage in your family is really going to be hogged by a pig.

Bernadette and Audis didn't feel anything wrong, they were already used to the current way of chatting.

Audis pondered for a while before saying, "According to legend, the 'Shared Dream' we are in is a dream of the 'Omniscient and Almighty Lord' in the Third Epoch, which is what we call the 'Ancient Sun God'."

Bernadette frowned and said, "As I guessed, this 'God War Ruins' witnessed the occurrence of the 'Great Cataclysm'."

Klein on the side was stunned and couldn't help but guess: Was the "Great Cataclysm" the consequence of a divine war?

At this time, the top of their heads became bright, and this night ended.

Returning to the real world, Audis sat up and looked at the armchair, the "Mystic Queen" was still lying there.

So the discussion between the two continued just now, Audis said, "There should be a specific location in the real world to get the correct path to enter the 'Giant Court' projection."

Bernadette looked out the window, "I think so too.

"What is certain now is that the projection of the 'Giant Court' should have a certain connection with the real 'Giant Court'."

Audis suddenly thought: The "Dark Angel" should be in the "Giant Court", so it has some connection with the "Giant Court" projection in the "Ancient Sun God" dream.

In order to establish the corresponding channel to connect the real world with the "Land of the Forsaken".

Bernadette noticed Audis's daze, and she asked, "What did you think of?"

"I suddenly thought that the formation of the 'Land of the Forsaken' has a lot to do with the 'Ancient Sun God'. If this dream really belongs to the 'Ancient Sun God', then this dream must be the link between the outside world and the 'Land of the Forsaken'." Of course, Audis couldn't say what he was thinking just now.

Because very few people now know that the "Dark Angel" is sleeping in the "Giant's Court," or rather, it's highly probable that only members of the "Redemption Rose," along with Amon and Adam, know about this.

For a Sequence 5 like him to know such things, when these guys are either Kings of Angels or Gods, is just absurd.

Bernadette slowly nodded: "Your idea is quite good."

Then she asked: "What are your thoughts on the 'Favored of the Fool'?"

"On the surface, it seems he went to sea because of the 'Beckland Fog' incident," Odyss said, "but in reality, he probably received certain orders from 'The Fool.'"

"You see, the places he's been to are often accompanied by major events."

Bernadette thought for a moment: "That's indeed the case."

Then she smiled: "Speaking of which, the fake identity he used after going to sea was provided by me."

Odyss nodded, thinking: Actually, I already told him that before.

He continued: "At least, he and 'The Fool' haven't shown too much malice towards this world so far. I think we can maintain contact with them for now and continue to observe."

Bernadette slowly nodded; she had the same intention.

Odyss got up from the bed: "I'll go chat with the Third Mate."

Bernadette remained lying in the easy chair, showing no intention of getting up, and simply made an "Mm" sound.

Coming out of the studio, Odyss saw the Third Mate, Bivis, in the restaurant, spacing out.

Odyss grabbed two beers, handed one to the Third Mate, and sat down opposite him with the other.

Bivis took the beer, paused for a moment, and then said to the captain: "Thank you."

Odyss took the initiative: "I have a way to stay awake in the dream world."

Bivis took a sip of beer, revealing a slight expression of surprise, but he quickly felt that it wasn't too unexpected: "I… I seemed to have told you something in the dream just now?"

"That's right," Odyss said, "You said you've heard a voice since you were a child, telling you to come to the 'God-forsaken Land' to save someone locked in a black monastery!"

"Looks like I told you everything," Bivis said with a wry smile, "Actually, I don't know what's going on? Most of the time, I wonder if it's just a hallucination?"

"You should have told me about this sooner," Odyss said, taking a sip of beer, "Perhaps I could have made some preparations in advance to help you investigate what's going on?

"Moreover, there must be some danger involved. Fortunately, it didn't trigger any serious consequences. If we had touched some strange power, we might have died without knowing why."

Bivis's expression also became serious: "I'm sorry, Captain, I didn't think it through carefully."

Odyss waved his hand: "Now, let's talk about this properly."

"When exactly did you start hearing that voice? Or can you hear it under specific circumstances?"

"I can hear it about once a month," Bivis replied, "There are no specific circumstances, just occasional hearing.

"Moreover, the voice is very vague, always intermittent. Over the years, I only know that the voice is asking me for help and roughly told me that he was locked in a black monastery, and also described some details of the black monastery."

Odyss rubbed his chin: "But why did this voice disappear when you came to the 'God-forsaken Land'? And your appearance hasn't triggered any reaction from the other party."

Bivis said: "I'm also a little strange. In the past few days, I've increasingly felt that it's just my auditory hallucination."

Odyss shook his head; hallucinations couldn't last this long, and there would be connections between intermittent hallucinations.

His first thought was: Could it be some power here that interrupted the connection between Bivis and that voice? Or has Bivis been affected or contaminated in some way, but no one has noticed it?

Odyss took a deep breath and said: "Pay close attention to this matter next. If you hear that voice again, come to me immediately."

"Okay," Bivis readily agreed.

Odyss returned to his room. Bernadette was still lying in the easy chair. Just as he was about to tell the "Mysterious Queen" the content of the conversation, the "Mysterious Queen" had already raised her hand: "I already heard your conversation just now."

Odyss smiled: "The abilities of a demigod are really convenient."

Then he asked: "What are your thoughts?"

"My opinion is that your Third Mate is too weak," Bernadette said, "Assuming someone is indeed locked in that monastery and did ask Bivis for help.

"But when he 'sees' that Bivis is so weak, he may decide to not contact him for the time being.

"After all, it's not easy to find someone who can save oneself. If the rescuer is too weak, not only will they be unable to complete the rescue operation, but they will also expose themselves. Therefore, it's best not to make contact."

Odyss slowly nodded: "That's indeed a very reasonable guess."

Then he continued to guess: "If that's the case, then when Bivis leaves here, he will definitely hear that voice again."

Bernadette smiled slightly; she thought so too.

Odyss rubbed his face with his hand and said: "Now there's only one question left: Why did Bivis only hear that voice after completing the baptism and starting to believe in the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom'?"

Bernadette looked out the window: "You have to ask the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom' this question."

Odyss twitched the corner of his mouth. What if, after praying to the "God of Knowledge" and asking this question, the other party asked back, "How would I know?" It would be hilarious.

For now, this question can only be shelved temporarily, and the investigation will be done when there is an opportunity, or when the level is reached.

The subsequent journey was uneventful. The "Future" led the "Argo" and the "Golden Dream," bypassing those dangerous ruins and wastelands, avoiding the hidden dangers in the safe sea lanes, and finally returned to the vicinity of the exit of the "God-forsaken Land."

Odyss saw the ruins, mostly submerged by seawater, again from the porthole, just like when he first entered here. He was finally about to leave.

Just then, the crystal ball on Odyss's body suddenly had a spiritual fluctuation.

Odyss took it out and looked at it, saying to Bernadette in the room: "It's Cattleya."

On the way back, Odyss had been chatting with Bernadette, covering a wide range of topics, including childhood stories, mystical knowledge, and Odyss's inventions.

It had been a long time since the two of them had such a pleasant chat.

Bernadette said: "She can't see me."

Odyss said "Oh" and established contact with Cattleya through the crystal ball.

Cattleya's figure appeared in the crystal ball: "We found a clue that is suspected to be the 'Fountain of Youth.'"
