Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

After standing outside for more than half a minute, Audis stepped into the Galt Herbalist shop.

At this time, there were no customers in the herbalist shop, only Kaina, the shop assistant from back then, was carefully sorting out the herbs. Hearing the doorbell ring, someone came in.

He immediately turned his head and asked with a smile, "Sir, may I ask you…"

Kaina had already recognized Audis, who was in disguise, but he still tried to hide the joy in his heart and continued, "…what do you need?"

"I want a batch of Deep Sleep Flower petals," Audis said with a smile.

Kaina pretended to nod: "There happens to be a batch here, in the warehouse at the back. Please come with me, I'll take you to have a look."

As he spoke, he very naturally asked his sister to watch the shop at the front desk, and then he took Audis to the rest room next to the warehouse.

Entering here, a sense of familiarity rushed over him. The experimental platform was filled with beakers, measuring cylinders, and various glass bottles, but it had obviously been tidied up and was not as messy as before.

The easy chair, desk, and small bed for resting were all there, and basically maintained their original appearance.

Audis wandered around the room for a while, and after confirming that there was no extraordinary means of surveillance here, he breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the most home-like place."

Then he smiled slightly and looked at Kaina: "How have you been recently?"

"Business is pretty good," Kaina said. "Your share of the profits has already saved up to more than two hundred pounds."

Audis smiled: "I'm asking how you are?"

Kaina scratched his head: "I'm fine too."

Then he said, "My income has increased a lot, and my family has moved to a bigger house. We can also buy some meat and white bread to eat every week."

The orders that Audis gave Kaina for carving "Extraordinary Puppet" parts were enough for several months of his income, but this money was not a fixed income, so he did not spend it recklessly.

Audis asked again: "Are you interested in going to sea with me?"

He smiled and said: "I'm in need of a trusted person to help me manage the money."

Although Audis trusted Mandy very much, he was also very clear that even if he trusted someone again, he could not hand over everything to one person to manage.

He still planned to continue his original idea, and not give Mandy the two powers of finance and personnel.

Kaina was stunned for a moment before saying: "I, I don't know how to file taxes."

"No need to file taxes," Audis said, somewhat dumbfounded. Pirates still have to file taxes? Is there any law?

He paused and said: "Other people are responsible for the specific affairs. You mainly help me review the places where money needs to be spent.

"When I need to spend money, you can give me a rough amount at any time."

Currently, Audis mainly uses the new "Extraordinary Puppet" to do the accounting. They will not make false accounts, but the way they handle problems is too rigid, causing a lot of jokes and troubles.

Audis really needs someone who can make flexible decisions at any time.

For such a person, business ability is secondary. The main thing is to be deeply trusted by Audis.

Kaina hesitated for almost no time: "Okay, I'll go with you."

He smiled and said: "Now my sister can run the herbalist shop by herself. At most, I'll find her a helper."

Audis smiled and reminded: "It's not as prosperous at sea as in Backlund."

In fact, Cruz Island is already quite convenient at this time. There are housing, shops, and restaurants, but these are all places to maintain daily life. It's not like Backlund, where there are so many diverse goods.

Kaina said: "I am willing to continue to be your subordinate."

Audis smiled and said: "I'll come back to pick you up in a week or two. During this period, you arrange the work of the herbalist shop."

Kaina nodded: "Okay."

After chatting for a few more words, Audis said goodbye and left.

Afterwards, Audis didn't have anything important to do, so he went to the mall to buy groceries and meat. When he returned to Hilton Avenue, he no longer used "Travel", but took a rental carriage back, and took the opportunity to take a look at the streets of Backlund.

Back at No. 99 Hilton Avenue, Bernadette sent an "Invisible Servant" to help Audis with cooking. She didn't know how to help, so she stood at the kitchen door and chatted with Audis.

In the evening, Bernadette ate a mouthful of chicken with satisfaction and said, "How did you think of processing the chicken like this?"

She ate the most roast chicken and fried chicken, and occasionally stewed chicken, but only at Audis's place could she eat chicken that was first boiled and then stir-fried.

"I just felt that doing it this way would taste better, so I tried it," Audis said vaguely.

At the same time, he thought to himself: The people of the Mysterious World are not easy either. Even the former Intis princess has never eaten stir-fried chicken and braised pork ribs, which are common home-cooked dishes.

Then Audis talked about other topics: "What do you usually do during your time in Backlund?"

He noticed that Bernadette seemed to be quite idle. She hadn't gone out all day today.

"Read magazines, drink coffee," Bernadette said casually. "Occasionally I read novels or newspapers."

Audis was stunned for a moment: "I thought you came to Backlund for something important."

"There is indeed something very important," Bernadette said. "But that thing needs to wait.

"Before the time comes, I always have to find something to pass the time, right?"

Audis thought for a while: "That's true. After all, you are the 'Mysterious Queen'. You shouldn't go out if there is nothing important.

"If you go shopping on the street whenever you have free time, then you are the 'Shopping Queen'."

Bernadette glanced at Audis: "Why do I hear a hint of sarcasm?"

"I think that reading magazines and so on is waiting, and going out for a walk is also waiting," Audis said. "Why not go out and walk around in crowded places."

He had thought before that communicating more with ordinary people should also help strengthen humanity.

Bernadette shook her head: "Our pathway requires us to play the role of 'Mystery' at all times. In my opinion, not showing up too much is generally enough to maintain sufficient mystery."

Audis smiled: "I forgot about this. It's right to try not to go out.

"Then how about we go to the Loen Kingdom Museum tomorrow?"

Bernadette was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had misheard, and then she realized that Audis was joking with her, so she put down her knife and fork: "Didn't I make it clear just now?"

"You made it clear."

"Then what are we going to the museum for?"

"Didn't you say not to show up too much?" Audis said seriously: "But it's not like you can't show up at all."

Bernadette was a little dumbfounded. She thought for a while and said: "Okay then, let's go to the museum tomorrow."

In fact, she had already been there once and felt that there was nothing to see.

Audis took a sip of wine, leaned back in his chair and said: "But we don't have to go too early tomorrow. It's been a long time since I slept in. I'll sleep in a little longer tomorrow."

Bernadette gave an "Um" sound: "Just don't sleep until five in the afternoon."

The museum closes at five in the afternoon.

Audis smiled: "If I sleep that late, wouldn't you have to see if I'm in danger?"

"See," Bernadette said. "Of course I have to see. I'll see how late you can sleep."

The two smiled at each other again. Audis suddenly realized that women who are usually more serious and a little aloof seem particularly humorous when they tell jokes.

Talking and talking, the two ate this meal for more than two hours.

After eating, they drank tea for a while before returning to their rooms to rest.

After changing into his pajamas, Audis lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in the darkness. Suddenly coming from a battle at the level of an angel to the peaceful life in Backlund, he felt a little unaccustomed to it.

This made him sigh that his pace of life was still too fast.

The next day, Audis slept until after nine in the morning, stretched comfortably, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

As soon as he went out, he saw that Bernadette had already put on a light blue dress and wore a pair of exquisite earrings. At this time, she was sitting in the small living room on the second floor, obviously ready.

She didn't need to put on makeup at all. Her exquisite features and excellent temperament made Audis feel amazed and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"What was that daze just now?" Bernadette frowned slightly: "It's like I'm sitting here and scared you."

"I was just in a trance just now," Audis said with a smile: "I thought the saint described in the scriptures had descended."

Bernadette smiled slightly with satisfaction: "Hurry up, I've been waiting for more than half an hour!"

"Okay," Audis quickly entered the bathroom.

A minute later, the two had already come downstairs to the living room.

Bernadette couldn't help but say: "You…you don't have to be so fast. Did you brush your teeth carefully? Did you choose your clothes carefully?"

"The step of brushing your teeth can be fast or slow," Audis said while putting on his windbreaker: "I only have those two sets of clothes, it's not difficult to choose."

Bernadette recalled her wardrobe and didn't say anything. She came to the street with Audis, called a rental carriage, and went to the Loen Kingdom Museum.

Coming to the carriage, Bernadette asked strangely: "Why are we taking a carriage?"

Bernadette has many ways to reach the museum in a second or two, and she can also skip the ticket by the way. Audis can also reach there quickly with "Travel".

"Sometimes I think that although Extraordinary abilities have given us great convenience, they have also made our pace of life much faster," Audis said. "Today is finally nothing else, let's relive the feeling of slowing down."

Bernadette nodded and didn't say anything else, just turned her head to look out the car window.

It was a weekday, and there weren't many people on the streets, not even the beggars were having a good "business" day.

The two of them arrived at the museum at a leisurely pace. Once they got there, the crowd thickened.

While waiting in line to enter, the two quickly became the center of attention because Bernadette's attire was quite different from that of Backlund women.

Her dress was simple yet beautiful, while the dresses of Backlund women generally leaned towards conservatism.

In Audis's own words, Bernadette's outfit was more fashionable.

However, in the rather conservative Kingdom of Loen, Bernadette's style was a bit unconventional.

Audis whispered to Bernadette, "Didn't you say you wanted to maintain a sense of mystery? How can you maintain mystery when you're attracting so much attention?"

Bernadette glanced at the whispering people around them. The unique heroic spirit between her brows was on full display, and the surrounding people immediately averted their gazes and stopped discussing.

Only then did Bernadette look at Audis: "I told you we should reduce the number of times we come out."

Then she asked, "When we set off together, didn't you notice that my clothes were a bit different from the Backlund style?"

Audis was stunned for a moment; he really hadn't noticed.

It wasn't that he hadn't paid attention, but rather that Bernadette's attire also suited Audis's aesthetic, or rather, it suited his aesthetic from before he transmigrated.

So Audis didn't feel that anything was wrong at all, and even thought it looked quite comfortable. It wasn't until he arrived in the crowd that he noticed something was amiss.

Seeing Bernadette waiting for his reply, Audis said, "Maybe I was too nervous at the time."

"What were you nervous about?"

"I get nervous just thinking about going to a museum with you."

"What's so nerve-wracking about that?"

"It's just…" Audis thought for a moment before saying, "It's like going out with your beautiful female superior…"

At this point, the two of them laughed together. Audis said while laughing, "You probably don't know that feeling. I'm just afraid of being discovered by your other subordinates. I always feel like I have to be secretly sneaking around in the open, and yet I still find it quite exciting."

Bernadette couldn't help but laugh and say, "You're overthinking it. What could happen if they saw us?"

For some reason, after hearing the reason Audis gave, she also felt like laughing.

"I don't know what would happen," Audis said with a smile. "It just feels exciting and nerve-wracking.

"It's… it's like being afraid that after your subordinates find out, they'll rush up and grab me, and make me return that high and mighty Queen to them."

Bernadette pondered for a moment, feeling that she really didn't understand this kind of psychology, but she just thought that this feeling was quite amusing.

While they were talking, the two entered the museum. After passing through the ticket gate, they followed the other people to listen to the guide's explanation.

After watching for a while, Audis stopped in front of a gold mask brought from the Highland Kingdom: "Something's not right."

Bernadette carefully looked at the mask in the glass case: "Is this a mystical item?"

"That's not what I meant," Audis said. "Why does the Loen Kingdom's museum only have artifacts from the Rothseid Archipelago and the Southern Continent?"

"Isn't that normal?" Bernadette said. "These two places are Loen's colonies."

Then she realized another problem: "Have you never been to a museum before?"

"I haven't."

Bernadette felt it was a bit unbelievable: "Aren't you quite knowledgeable? Why haven't you come here to take a look?"

Audis smiled: "It's no fun coming alone."

He glanced around. Basically, they were all couples or married couples who came together, and some even brought their children.

At this time, Audis realized: So the Queen didn't know that museums, Order Square, and the Backlund Opera House are the three holy sites for couples' dates.

Audis continued the previous topic: "I mean, why aren't there any domestic artifacts?"

"There are, on the second floor," Bernadette said without recalling. "Let's go, let's go take a look first."

Arriving on the second floor, Audis saw that the artifacts here were indeed from the Loen Kingdom itself, but they were either war flags or armor.

Listening to the guide's explanation, he learned that almost every exhibit was related to a certain war, which seemed quite meaningful.

But Audis shook his head: "They have the nerve to bring these things in. It would be better to put them in a military museum. It's meaningless to put them in a national museum."

Bernadette was stunned: "Then what do you think should be put in the national museum?"

"First of all, domestic unearthed cultural relics," Audis said. "To prove how long the history of this country is, and then works of art, as well as things that can represent the highest modern craftsmanship.

"Showing these military flags and armor, and showing those colonial artifacts, isn't that just saying that those things were all looted through war?"

Bernadette slowly nodded, and then asked, "Is there anything wrong with that?"

Audis was suddenly stunned, and suddenly patted his head: How could I forget this? Rosell is a guy who advocates colonization. On this point, our ideas are completely in different directions.

"Right." Then Audis smiled and said, "I was wrong."

Bernadette glanced at Audis, and then asked in a low voice: "Do you have any other ideas again?"

"Sort of," Audis said. "But I have to wait until later to tell you the specific ideas in detail."

His main thing is to find a chance to try whether his set of de-aristocratization and planned economy transformation methods are feasible.

Bernadette didn't continue to ask: "Works of art and unearthed cultural relics are all on the third floor."

So the three of them came to the third floor. Audis felt that this was a bit like a national museum. The works of art were exquisite, and the cultural relics also looked very historical, especially those unearthed Fourth Epoch cultural relics, which were very characteristic of the times.

After visiting the museum, the two had lunch at a nearby Intis restaurant, and then went to Order Square for a walk.

Order Square does not need to maintain a solemn atmosphere. Many people bring their children to play, so it is more lively than the museum.

Bernadette once again attracted the attention of many people. Audis was still looking forward to a few gangsters who didn't have eyes to try to flirt with Bernadette, so he could show off.

As a result, only people dared to peek, but no one dared to step forward.

Bernadette noticed Audis looking around, and asked: "Why do you always look at those gang members with provocative eyes?"

"I mainly want to see if they are professional," Audis said.

If they are professional gangsters, they will not come forward to cause trouble no matter how Audis provokes them when they see people dressed like Audis and Bernadette.

But if they are not professional, they may give Audis a chance to perform.

To Audis's disappointment, they were all quite professional, knowing who they could cause trouble for and who they couldn't.

Bernadette said earnestly: "We are both wanted criminals, don't be so arrogant! Try not to let people notice."

Audis glanced at the "Mysterious Queen's" skirt: "Then you still dress so conspicuously."

Bernadette smiled slightly: "Even if they see me, they won't remember my appearance.

"You are different."

Audis twitched the corner of his mouth: "You didn't say you had such an ability!"

As he spoke, he lowered the brim of his hat, but for a while it seemed even more suspicious.

The "Mysterious Queen" maintained a smile, because from the beginning of coming out today, her ability has been surrounding herself and Audis, so Audis's appearance will not be remembered by the people who have seen it.

When they left Order Square, Bernadette was a little dumbfounded: "Why do you still look regretful?"

"Alas." Audis sighed: "I originally wanted to try the feeling of rescuing you from the villains, but these bastards didn't give me a chance!"

Bernadette laughed twice: "Do I still need you to save me!"

She was in a good mood today, and invited Audis to eat at the Loen Kingdom Hotel, which is said to be the best hotel in the world, tall and luxurious, and the food tastes very good.

After dinner, the two strolled along the Tussock River, taking a walk.

They didn't return to their residence until after nine o'clock. The two went upstairs while talking and laughing. When they came to their respective doors, the two said good night to each other.

Audis put his hand on the handrail of the door, was stunned for a moment, and then looked back: "By the way…"

He happened to see that Bernadette had also turned her head, as if she had something to say to him.

Bernadette looked at Audis: "What else do you want?"

"I wanted to tell you that I might have to get up early tomorrow." Audis smiled and said, "Also, shouldn't good friends hug each other when they say good night?"

Bernadette smiled: "Dream on?"

After saying that, she opened her door and entered first.

Audis scratched his head and patted his forehead after entering his room: "Wash up and go to sleep."

After washing up, Audis changed into his pajamas and lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Just as he closed his eyes and prepared to fall asleep, suddenly a soft hand covered his mouth. Audis was startled, opened his eyes and saw Bernadette, who was wearing an Intis-style knight's uniform, squatting by his bed and whispering: "We can only speak softly."

After saying that, Bernadette released Audis's mouth, and Audis immediately understood: "Enemies?"

Bernadette nodded slightly, and with a slight lift of her hand, a small picture appeared in front of them. In the picture, a middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa on the first floor.

Audis seemed to understand: "You agreed to go out with me today, just to lure out the enemy, right?"

"There was that intention..." Seeing Audis was a little unhappy, Bernadette immediately changed her tone: "But I really had a great time today."

Audis glanced at the scene before him, knowing that it wasn't very dangerous at the moment, or rather, the situation wasn't too urgent, so he said seriously: "You don't have to comfort me like that."

"Comfort you about what?"

"By insisting that you had a great time today." Audis smiled helplessly: "I was wondering why the 'Mystery Queen' had time to stroll around Backlund with me."

"I'm telling the truth."

Audis sighed: "Alright, it's the truth."

"I..." Bernadette looked at Audis lying on the bed, looking like he deserved a beating. Her eyes turned cold, and she reached into the blanket with one hand, found Audis's hand, and pinched it hard.

Audis immediately rolled around in pain. Just as he was about to open his mouth to shout, Bernadette's other hand had already covered his mouth again.

The "Mystery Queen" said, enunciating each word: "I said, I am, very happy, today."

Audis quickly said vaguely: "I believe you, I believe you!"

Bernadette then let go. Audis looked at his hand, which had been pinched red: "Is a demigod's strength this great?"

Bernadette smiled and said: "Not only is the strength great, but hitting people is also especially painful."

"Alright, alright." Audis swallowed and pointed to the middle-aged man sitting on the first floor in the scene before him, asking: "Who is that?"

"A demigod from the 'Moses Ascetic Order', Cecil." Bernadette said: "He is one of the 'Ten Pillars', a 'Scholar of Mysteries'.

"Recently, I noticed that the 'Moses Ascetic Order' seemed to be carrying out some actions in Backlund again. As soon as I investigated, they noticed, so I wanted to lure them out to see how much power they had mobilized."

Audis got up and asked: "Is a Sequence 4 so arrogant?"

Daring to sit in the "Mystery Queen's" living room?

Before Bernadette could say anything, Audis added: "That means they don't just have one Sequence 4."

"I feel like they should have sent an angel." Bernadette said: "They are hiding in the dark, waiting for me to respond."

Audis was stunned: "Would the Loen Royal Family allow angels from other forces to enter Backlund?"

"They should be confident that they can evacuate within a short period of time." Bernadette said.

Audis took out his pouch and the "Gustav Staff" while tying the pouch around his waist over his pajamas: "Tell me about this kind of thing in advance in the future, at least I have to be prepared to run."

While speaking, he stuffed his coat and other clothes into the "Spatial Array".

Bernadette smiled and said: "I was going to remind you when we each entered the door."

Audis nodded: "As a result, you heard that I was going to hug you, and you were so nervous that you forgot?"

"No." Bernadette said seriously: "I just wanted to see you make a fool of yourself."

Audis didn't know what to say for a moment. After two or three seconds, he asked: "What are your plans?"

"I'll go downstairs directly in a while." Bernadette said: "After you hide in the dark, they won't be able to find you, so you can take that opportunity to escape immediately."

Audis was stunned: "Really don't need to stay and help?"

Bernadette asked in return: "Do you want to deal with this 'Scholar of Mysteries'? Or deal with the possible angel?"

Audis smiled helplessly: "I originally wanted to show off in front of you, but I didn't have a good opportunity."

Bernadette waved her hand with a smile and said: "Don't worry, I'll give you opportunities like this in the future."

Audis took out the "Hermit Ring" from the "Spatial Array" and put it on: "Alright, I'm still relatively professional at escaping."

Then he asked: "Where do we meet up?"

"The Bay Tavern." Bernadette was obviously prepared.

She instructed: "Don't use 'Teleportation', the other party's angel is likely hiding in the spirit world."

Audis nodded: "Okay."

After the two of them were ready, Bernadette got up, opened the door, and left.

Audis used the ability of the "Hermit Ring" to enter the shadows. Because of the "Blessing of the Night", even if an angel came, they wouldn't be able to find him.

After quietly opening the window, Audis slid from the wall to the ground in the state of shadow, using the moonlight.

At this moment, Audis noticed that in a corner not far away, a "middle-sequence" member of the "Moses Ascetic Order" was on guard.

...

99 Hilton Avenue.

The "Mystery Queen" Bernadette strolled down from the upper floor of this small villa.

Sitting in the living room was a demigod from the "Moses Ascetic Order" named Cecil.

Bernadette said coldly: "I didn't invite you in."

Cecil got up and asked: "Did you say goodbye to your little lover?"

Strangely enough, Cecil used a certain Sealed Artifact to see Bernadette enter this villa with a young man.

As a result, after entering, he only sensed Bernadette, but he didn't sense where the man was.

Cecil believed that Bernadette must have used extraordinary abilities to hide the other party.

However, the more this was the case, the more it showed that the man was quite important to Bernadette.

Bernadette ignored the other party and asked: "Did Toriobo come? Or Lydia Austin?"

These are the names of two angels from the "Moses Ascetic Order".

Cecil did not answer, but said: "If you no longer disrupt our plans, I can let you go."

Bernadette shook her head with a smile: "Are you trying to get an Outer God to descend in Backlund again?"

Cecil still did not answer, but said: "I warn you again, do not try to disrupt our plans."

Bernadette stared closely at the middle-aged man in front of her. Suddenly, she grabbed a metallic mask from the void and put it on her face.

In an instant, the entire living room was covered by a gloomy aura, and all the furniture and decorations around it glowed with a pale white light. It was as if it had suddenly fallen into the underworld.

At the same time, a stream of information suddenly appeared in front of Bernadette, and the surrounding air and furniture immediately turned into rolling streams of information.

These streams of information quickly formed an information vortex, wrapping Bernadette up.

If Bernadette was an ordinary Saint, even if she escaped as fast as she could, part of her body would definitely turn into a stream of information, thus suffering serious damage.

But she was not ordinary. The mask on her face made her whole body deathly silent, and the information vortex actually solidified.

Bernadette said coldly: "Then I will warn you as well!"

After saying this, the pupils of her eyes turned white, and she swept her gaze at the two enemies in front of her with a gaze that seemed to freeze the air.

The creatures that appeared in her sight, including microorganisms invisible to ordinary sight, all lost their lives.

The angel from the "Moses Ascetic Order" immediately used a cloud of information to block in front of him to block the "Mystery Queen's" sight.

The demigod Cecil's spirituality had a premonition in advance, and he quickly fled outside. Bernadette's gaze only swept his arm, and that arm immediately withered and died.
