Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Receiving the first mate of the "Golden Dream"'s" SOS, startled Audis for a moment: "Tell me in detail."

"Two days ago, our captain said she wanted to do some research in the study and told us not to disturb her." Blue immediately said, "Because the captain often does this kind of research, we didn't take it seriously."

"Yesterday, we realized something was wrong, but without the captain's order, it was difficult for us to break into the study, which had many extraordinary arrangements."

"Until today, the captain still hasn't appeared. Just now, we managed to open the door to the captain's study and found that the captain was missing."

"We've searched several times, and she's not in any corner of the ship."

Halfway through listening, Audis already understood what was going on: She must have entered "the book."

He said, "Wait a moment, I'll be right there."

Interrupting the connection, Audis didn't rush to leave, but waited for his spirituality to recover while thinking about how to handle this matter.

Of course, he remembered this matter. It was Danitz who asked Gehrman Sparrow for help, and the matter was resolved.

Now it's Blue asking him for help.

Audis was confident that he could hunt the demigod-level ice dragon with Edwina and others, but this would trigger many butterfly effects.

For example, the "Groselle's Travels" that Edwina originally wanted to give Klein would be given to him, Audis.

Danitz, who originally became a believer of "The Fool", would also lose this opportunity.

Audis knew the history of the Ancient Era and was not interested in "Groselle's Travels". On the contrary, he was very reluctant to get this "Travels" because it would increase the probability of being targeted by Adam.

Moreover, this "Travels", and the big key that can open the "Giant King's Palace", were both prepared for Klein by the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and Audis didn't plan to get involved in that matter either.

Thinking of this, Audis thought that he could find Klein to participate in the rescue. If Edwina wanted to give "Groselle's Travels" as a reward, he could give it to Klein.

Audis could also take the opportunity to ask "Iceberg General" for a promise, asking her to introduce him to the bishop of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom's church to discuss cooperation.

If possible, it would be best to become a favored one of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom".

After becoming a favored one, many of Audis' plans could be fully launched, which would save a lot of trouble, and he would no longer have to worry about the threats from the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery and the "Moses Ascetic Order."

Thinking of this, he felt that this plan was feasible, so he rested a little longer, and after his spirituality had almost recovered, he used the "Travel Ring" to come to the "Golden Dream".

At this time, the "Golden Dream" and the "Argo" were still sailing together towards the Nohaus Island waters.

First Mate Blue and others repeatedly warned themselves in their hearts that "rescuing the captain is the most important thing", and then showed sincere smiles, exchanged simple pleasantries with Audis, and immediately invited him to the captain's study.

This room was still surrounded by those bookshelves, filled with all kinds of books.

Audis came to the desk in front of the window. At this time, the desk was cluttered with many things, including white paper, a round-bellied fountain pen, an ink bottle, and some books stacked unevenly.

And in the center of the desk was a parchment-bound book, its dark brown surface inscribed with the words "Groselle's Travels" in Ancient Forsac.

Audis smiled slightly, that's it.

First Mate Blue saw that "Admiral of Mystery" was looking at that ancient book, and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, we've already checked it."

Audis casually said "Oh" and asked, "Have you read this 'Groselle's Travels'?"

Blue Walls shook his head, and Olfers, Danitz, and others who came in also shook their heads.

Audis was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "How did you check it?"

The third mate of the "Golden Dream", Jodson, smiled wryly and said, "We're already tired enough from studying every day, and we don't want to read any more books, but we did some mystical checks."

Audis smiled and thought: With your level, it would be strange if you could find anything.

He picked up "Groselle's Travels" and browsed it. The story inside was about the giant Groselle and his team preparing to fight an ice dragon named "King of the North".

The last two pages told the story of a lost pirate lady who encountered the "King of the North" in a blizzard, was almost killed, and managed to escape with all her strength, meeting the protagonist's team who came to challenge the ice dragon.

Seeing this, Audis glanced at the exquisite western sword placed on the weapon rack in the corner of the study.

Obviously, when Edwina entered the book, she didn't have time to bring her mystical items, so she was more embarrassed.

Immediately, Audis took out the crystal ball and divined in public, because he knew exactly what was going on, so the divination statement he silently recited in his heart was actually: What to eat tonight?

After getting a constellation, Audis casually interpreted it as: "I still need a helper."

Several crew members of the "Golden Dream" were about to volunteer to be helpers, but Audis said: "Sequence 5 level."

The crew members put down their raised hands slowly with helpless smiles.

Audis said, "Wait a moment, I have a candidate."

Before Blue and others could say anything, Audis had already summoned the "Phantom Gate" again and entered the spirit world.

According to the reminder of spirituality, Audis came to a hotel on Oravia Island, in front of the door of a room.

Audis knocked on the door in front of him. After a few seconds, Anderson opened the door with some doubts: "Why are you here?"

Just now, when his spirituality sensed that the person outside was "Admiral of Mystery", he thought his spirituality was mistaken.

Audis glanced inside. At this time, Gehrman Sparrow, with a stern face, was sitting on a chair in the room: "Looking for him."

As he spoke, Audis pointed to the room.

Just now, Klein and Anderson, who had just solved the problem of bad luck, were talking. Audis' sudden appearance surprised both of them.

"I hope I didn't disturb you." Audis smiled as he entered the door, "I have something I need your help with."

Klein got up and asked, "What reward can I get?"

"I'm not sure, but you'll definitely get a good reward." Audis replied.

Klein asked again, "What's the degree of danger?"

Audis smiled and said, "We're going to challenge a dragon with a few people."

Klein twitched his lips: "Sorry, I don't have time."

"Don't rush to refuse." Audis smiled, "That dragon is not very strong, we won't be in any danger."

Klein frowned: "What kind of commission is this?"

"You'll know when you go." Audis said, "Don't worry, I will also participate in the action, don't you trust my judgment?"

Klein trusted Audis' judgment more, so he said, "Okay, are we leaving now?"

Anderson quickly said: "How about taking me too? If you don't need me to take action, I don't need any reward, just to watch the excitement."

Audis said: "I won't take you this time, I'll talk about it next time if there's a chance."

Anderson had to say: "Okay then, I'll wait here for two days, if you haven't..."

Before he could finish speaking, Klein interrupted: "Shut up!"

Anderson smiled and said, "This is a very likely situation."

At this time, he saw that "Admiral of Mystery" also showed murderous eyes, and quickly chose to shut up.

If it was just Gehrman Sparrow alone, he would still be sure to escape, but with "Admiral of Mystery" added, it would be hard to say.

Audis supported Klein's shoulders and entered the spirit world. Half a minute later, they appeared on the "Golden Dream".

When Danitz and others discovered that the helper invited by "Admiral of Mystery" was actually Gehrman Sparrow, the alarm bells in their hearts rang loudly.

Audis smiled and said, "What's with your expressions? Are you afraid of being killed by Gehrman Sparrow?"

Klein thought to himself: Have you forgotten the scene you saw in the 'common dream'? That's not what they're afraid of.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way." Audis walked in front, telling the crew of the "Golden Dream" to get out of the way.

They had to continue to build themselves up psychologically: The most important thing now is to rescue the captain!

After a certain amount of psychological construction, they finally gave way.

Coming to the desk in front of the window again, Audis picked up the "Groselle's Travels" and handed it to Klein: "I divined that 'Iceberg General' has entered this book."

Klein frowned slightly. He remembered this book. When he boarded the "Golden Dream" before, "Iceberg General" had shown this collection.

This "Travels" gave Klein a very deep impression. He also planned to trick Miss "Justice" into buying it so that he could take the opportunity to study it.

The crew members of the "Golden Dream" next to him immediately started talking. Second Mate Olfers asked: "Why didn't we notice anything unusual when we checked just now?"

"Because the level of this 'Travels' is too high." Audis explained simply.

At this time, Klein, who had simply browsed the last two pages, said: "Compared to when I saw it last time, the story does have two more pages, and there is an extra character called 'Pirate Lady'."

Everyone was stunned. They immediately realized that "Admiral of Mystery"'s divination should be correct.

Klein said in a cold voice: "The problem now is, how to save people?"

Audis flipped back a few pages: “There aren’t many pages left, it should be the end of the story soon.”

Klein was taken aback: “We’re also entering this 《Travelogue》?”

“That’s right.” Audis said, “Once we kill that Frost Dragon, we should be able to return.”

Klein frowned: “Then why didn’t you ask Anderson to come along?”

With the help of this “Strongest Hunter Below a Demigod,” it should be easier to defeat that dragon.

“I don’t trust him.” Audis just made up a reason.

Actually, he was very confident that he could take down that Frost Dragon.

Or rather, since obtaining the “Gustav Staff” and creating a batch of scrolls with special abilities, Audis had been eager to challenge his own limits.

Of course, challenging a normal demigod alone would be courting death.

It was challenges like this, where several Sequence 5s worked together to take on a target slightly weaker than a demigod, that he wanted.

This way, he could fully immerse himself in the battle, and if the battle didn't go well, other Sequence 5s could back him up.

But if Anderson was also called, although it would only be one more Sequence 5, things would become much easier, and there would be no challenge for Audis.

Klein did not continue on Audis’s given reason, and instead asked: “What do you need me to do?”

Audis smiled: “I can’t be sure of my own divination and guesses, after all, I myself have to enter the book. If my guess is wrong and I can’t get out of the book, that would be interesting.”

Klein nodded, understanding Audis’s meaning: “I need a quiet environment to do a careful divination.”

He planned to take this book to the “Gray Fog Above” to see if he could use the Gray Fog to solve the problem again.

Audis said: “No problem.”

Then he took Blue and the other crew members out to the corridor outside.

First Mate Yoderson said with some concern: “Captain Jarr, is Gehrman Sparrow reliable?”

Audis smiled: “I can’t say anything else, but below a demigod, no one’s divination is more accurate than his.”

To be precise, under certain specific circumstances, such as having time to enter the “Source Castle” for divination, he is even more accurate than a demigod.

“I’m not talking about that.” Yoderson said, “I’m asking, is his character reliable?”

Audis said “Oh”: “Let me tell you this, he currently has no thoughts of romance.”

Although no one said anything, smiles crept onto everyone’s faces, and a cheerful atmosphere filled the corridor.

Immediately afterwards, everyone realized that something was wrong, as if there was an embarrassment of having their thoughts exposed, and the corridor suddenly fell silent.

After waiting for a few minutes, Klein opened the door and said to Danitz: “I need a helper.”

“Okay!” Danitz quickly followed him in, and the door to the study was closed again.

Audis smiled slightly: That's more like it.

After another few minutes, Klein opened the door again and said to Audis: “I have already confirmed that your divination and guess are correct.”

Audis nodded: “Then let’s go save people.”

As he spoke, he looked inside, and sure enough, he could no longer find Danitz. The other crew members also noticed this and realized that their captain could be saved, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

“Wait a moment.” Klein looked at the crew of the “Golden Dream”.

Audis immediately understood what he meant: “Your concerns are valid.”

After all, he was about to enter the 《Travelogue》 with Klein. If someone suddenly offered the 《Travelogue》 to an evil god, they would never be able to get out.

Of course, the probability of that happening was not high, but these people were pirates after all, with very complex backgrounds, and no one knew what they might do.

So he turned to Blue and the other two and said: “What follows concerns whether your captain can return, and her safety. I need you three mates to guard the door and not allow anyone to enter.

“And you must also supervise each other to prevent anyone from entering.”

Blue Walls immediately said: “Leave it to us.”

Then Audis turned to Klein: “I still trust them more.”

What he meant was that even if it wasn't for the two of them, they wouldn't mess around for the sake of their captain.

However, Audis’s way of saying this made the crew members feel warm inside.

Klein thought: This guy is more suitable to be a leader than I am. He has obviously made people supervise each other, which also shows that he has similar concerns.

But the last sentence immediately dispelled everyone’s dissatisfaction.

After explaining things outside, Audis came into the room and locked the door to the study.

There is nothing wrong with reading and watching the first release!

Audis glanced at the 《Travelogue》 on the table: “I’ll go in first, then you come in later.”

Klein’s ability is more convenient for finding people, and he can find himself relatively easily.

With that said, Audis took the “Iceberg Inquisitor’s” saber and hung it on his waist, drew out his dagger, cut his finger, and smeared it on the surface of the 《Travelogue》.

Almost in an instant, Audis’s vision was suddenly covered by a raging blizzard.

The gale, carrying ice shards and goose feather snowflakes, slapped Audis one after another, making him want to use a “Defense Scroll”.

Although at the Sequence 5 level, one is basically not afraid of normal cold, Audis couldn't help but tense up and tremble a few times like a conditioned reflex when he saw the scene in front of him.

Looking at the vast expanse of snow, Audis decided to find a place to take shelter from the wind first, and then go find the “Iceberg Inquisitor” together with Klein.

Because Klein’s divination ability is more suitable for finding people.

As he headed to the leeward side, he thought: The “Seer’s” ability is really useful for finding people.

If Audis used “Astrology,” he could also divine Edwina’s location, but in this place without landmarks, he would have to constantly use the crystal ball to confirm the direction, which was very troublesome.

But Klein only needs a cane to easily confirm the direction.

Arriving at the leeward side, Audis infused “Star Sand” into the “Gustav Staff”. In an instant, the starlight was brilliant, forming a pillar of light, and opened a cave in the rock on the leeward side.

Audis made the cave corner, and also carved a stone bench inside.

After doing all this, Audis took back the “Star Sand” and entered the stone cave to wait.

Because it was on the leeward side, and there was a corner, there was no wind at all inside.

Audis took out his pipe, filled it with tobacco, and just took a comfortable puff when he suddenly felt the aura of coercion from a high-level creature.

This aura approached from afar, as if circling overhead.

Audis knew that the “King of the North” was in the sky, so he quickly extinguished his pipe, restrained his spirituality, and avoided being discovered.

But the huge sense of oppression not only did not leave, but also seemed to have landed not far away.

Audis was stunned, but quickly realized that he had been discovered by the other party.

But he was a little strange, why did this dragon discover him all of a sudden?

Although he came in to challenge the dragon, Audis would certainly not be foolish enough to face this dragon head-on. He was about to pull out the “Gustav Staff” and use “Star Sand” to continue drilling a hole to escape.

But he heard the “King of the North” utter an “Ancient Dragon Language” word: “Gustav.”

Audis twitched the corner of his mouth and thought: No wonder the other party could find me, it turned out that it had discovered this staff.

Theoretically speaking, unless Audis was directly seen, it would be impossible to discover him.

In fact, at this time, the “King of the North” could not determine Audis’s specific location, but he just felt that someone had used the “Gustav Staff” here, so he came over.

Thinking of this, Audis quietly put the “Gustav Staff” back, and then used the “Mimicry Scroll” to make the air in front of him “mimic” rock.

This was a scroll designed by Audis through research on the fruit with “mimicry” ability obtained in the “God War Ruins”.

That is the spiritual material of the “Reader” pathway at the demigod level, and can also be used to create some special scrolls.

For example, this “Mimicry Scroll” can not only “mimic” a target's ability, but also “mimic” some other things, or make other things “mimic” other things.

Just like now, making the air “mimic” rock, so a layer of rock appeared in front of Audis, separating the cave and forming a closed space at the bottom to protect Audis.

And the “King of the North” outside felt the fluctuation of spirituality and immediately sprayed blue ice crystals into the cave, and the entire cave was filled and frozen with ice.

However, because there was a rock in front of Audis, the ice stopped there, and the closed space at the deepest part of the cave was not affected.

Audis hid inside, quietly waiting for the “King of the North” to leave.

Dragons’ spirituality is generally quite sensitive, but as long as Audis hides outside the other party’s line of sight, it will not be able to find Audis.

After four or five minutes, the air that had previously “mimicked” rock had long since turned back into air, and the aura of coercion that seemed to come from a high-level creature disappeared.

However, Audis did not go out immediately. After waiting for another ten minutes, he released his spirituality and sensed it, confirming that the “King of the North” had left.

Only then did Audis summon the “Star Sand”, directly using the “Star Sand” to condense into a pillar of light, and drilled out the ice sprayed by the “King of the North’s” dragon breath, and quickly opened up a connection to the outside.

Without the strengthening of the “Gustav Staff”, the “drilling” speed of the “Star Sand” was much slower, and it took about twice as long to get out of the cave.

Audis carefully came outside and saw many tall and large ice crystals left outside, like ice and snow giant pillars.

Audis estimated that those were some of the abilities used by the "King of the North" just now in order to find the "Staff of Gūsī."

Recalling the situation when he faced the blood of the "Elven King" before, Audis realized that the "Staff of Gūsī" was indeed very useful, but he had to be careful not to expose himself because of it.

Especially when encountering this kind of "old家伙", many of them have seen the "Staff of Gūsī", which can easily attract their attention.

At this time, Audis' spirituality seemed to sense something, and he looked up and saw two figures walking quickly from a distance.

The figure in front had a cold face and strode forward, it was Gehrman Sparrow.

And Danitz behind him shrank his neck and hunched slightly, looking very much like Klein's servant. Obviously, the cold here was still difficult for Sequence 7 to bear, even though he was a "Pyromaniac".

Audis quickly greeted them, and soon the three of them met in the snow.

Klein and Danitz both saw the ice crystals that looked like giant pillars. Danitz asked, "What are those?"

"Left by the 'King of the North'." Audis said casually, then he asked Klein, "Can you divine the location of 'Iceberg Zhongjiang'?"

"Yes." Klein retracted his gaze and answered simply.

Danitz's attention was still on the giant pillar-like ice crystals over there: "Why did it stay here, leaving such things behind?"

"I don't know either." Audis said, "It came looking for me just now, and I quickly hid in the cave. It was like this when I came out."

Hearing Audis say this, Klein noticed something was wrong: "Did it find you?"

"Almost." Audis told the truth: "I estimate that these ice pillars appeared because the 'King of the North' was using some abilities to find my trace."

Danitz laughed and said, "This stupid dragon, obviously all its efforts were in vain."

Klein glanced at the ice crystals again, but he didn't think it was a "stupid dragon", especially this kind of monster with the appearance of a beast, their various senses were particularly sensitive.

Audis must have avoided the other party's search by using some ability.

However, he didn't explain to Danitz, but said, "Let's go."

After searching for about two hours, the three of them saw a female guard holding an ancient bow and arrow at a dark cave hidden behind a huge rock.

This woman had soft, shiny black hair, tied into a simple ponytail. Her facial features were very soft, different from people in all the countries of the Northern Continent.

Audis and Klein, who had read 《Grosell's Travels》, combined with her pointed ears and brown ancient coat, knew that this was the female elf who first met Grosell.

Klein summarized in his heart: If compared with the Earth, the people of the Northern Continent are closer to the European and American style, while this elf has obvious oriental charm.

Danitz said in surprise: "The legendary elf! And... and it's the kind of elf in ancient murals!"

The "Golden Dream" had encountered elven villages before, and had also seen descriptions of elves in some ancient murals.

However, the elves in reality are somewhat different from the elves in the murals, such as the color of their hair and pupils.

At this time, the female elf also looked over vigilantly.

Audis did not step forward immediately, but shouted loudly: "We are here to find someone!"

The female elf seemed not to have heard Audis's words, and pulled out an arrow and placed it on the longbow, with silvery-white electric light flowing on the arrowhead immediately.

Audis said helplessly: "Madam, please calm down..."

At this time, he felt a blur in front of him, and saw a stout and sturdy gray-blue figure jumping out from behind the rock, with an exaggerated giant sword in his hand.

The female elf just now was only a little above the giant's knees.

Danitz "咕咚" swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Giant!"

This giant was more than four meters tall, with thick animal fur wrapped around his chest, abdomen, waist, and hips, while other places were exposed, as if he was not afraid of the cold at all.

He held a giant sword that was wider than a human door panel, looked down at Audis and Klein and others with his iconic vertical eyes, and asked in a loud, muffled voice: "Who are you? Why did you come to Grosell's camp?"

Audis noticed that only the previous "King of the North" spoke "Ancient Dragon Language", and after that, whether it was the elf or the giant, they were speaking Luen.

Or rather, this 《Travels》 completed simultaneous mutual translation, and the Luen that Audis spoke sounded like Giant and Elven language to them.

Just as Audis was about to answer, a familiar figure suddenly walked out of the cave blocked by rocks, and Danitz's eyes were filled with ecstasy.

"Iceberg Zhongjiang" Edwina, wearing a shirt and dark trousers, swept over the three of them, and a more obvious look of astonishment appeared on her usual indifferent expression.

However, she quickly adjusted her emotions and expressions, and raised her head to say to the giant: "Grosell, these are my companions."

Grosell grinned and asked happily: "Are you also here to deal with Yuliusan?"

Audis recalled it slightly, and thought of the corresponding information. Yuliusan was the "King of the North".

So he replied: "Yes."

Grosell laughed and said: "Then we are friends."

At this time, the Elven woman put down the bow and arrow in her hand.

Edwina waved to Audis and the other two, signaling them to come over.

The three came closer, and Edwina introduced them to each other. Grosell was the leader of the camp, and the female elf was called Shatas.

After completing the basic introductions, Grosell smiled and said: "Enter the camp, we are about to go to war with this evil dragon Yuliusan."

Audis felt in his heart: Very enthusiastic and amiable.

Thinking this way in his heart, he took off the rapier from his waist and handed it to "Iceberg Zhongjiang".

Edwina took the sword and led the way in front, and said in a low voice: "The history they tell is a bit strange, and so is the language. No matter which language, they can understand each other."

Audis reminded in a low voice: "This is after all in a book, and many common sense things may have been reshaped. Or we can set it so that we can understand ancient Giant and Elven languages."

Klein nodded, thinking that this explanation made sense.

Danitz was stunned when he heard this: "Set... set."

There is such a setting in the book, so they understood?

At this time, they entered the interior of the cave, and there were three people sitting by the bonfire.

One of them was a middle-aged man wearing a very simple white robe. He was facing the stone wall with his back to the flames.

Next to him was a young man wearing black armor, sleeping with his head on a rock, and opposite him was a man in his thirties wearing asymmetrical and uncoordinated clothes.

Edwina first introduced the middle-aged man facing the stone wall: "That is the ascetic Mr. Snowman, who believes in 'The Lord who created everything, the all-knowing and almighty God'."

Audis walked over and asked, "Mr. Ascetic, have you heard of 'The Sage'?"
