Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 155: Announce some research results at the Tarot Club

After hearing the topic raised by Audrey, "The Hanged Man" Alger said, "Many extraordinary organizations have predicted the coming of the end of the world, but most believe that these are all exaggerated statements intended to attract people's attention.

"However, some people speculate that the so-called doomsday is the change of eras."

Magician Fors was stunned. "The Fifth Epoch is almost over? Are we about to enter the Sixth Epoch?"

Alger didn't give an exact answer: "Some people speculate that."

At this time, the Hermit Odysseus reminded: "The change of eras may be full of hardships. For example, at the end of the Third Age, the 'Great Cataclysm' occurred, and then we entered the Fourth Age.

"For example, at the end of the Fourth Epoch, the Four Emperors fell one after another, and only then did the Fifth Epoch begin."

Klein the Fool immediately manipulated the World and asked, "Is the fall of the Four Emperors a sign of the beginning of the Fifth Epoch?"

"I'm not sure about the details," Odysseus said with a look of "refusing to get something for nothing." "The fall of the Four Emperors is one of the signs of the beginning of the Fifth Epoch, but it doesn't seem to be the main sign."

The most important sign of the Fifth Age is that the gods have gone to the astral realm, and the descent of gods to the human world rarely occurs.

Fors asked, "Why don't I feel any sense of a changing era? Or any sense of crisis?"

Odysseus asked in return: "Have you ever thought about the nature of our Tarot gathering?"

The other members nodded in agreement, and Fors also understood that the ancient being "The Fool" was awakening and had invited several people to gather here to achieve some purpose of his own.

The revival of the mysterious existence should be one of the signs of the change of era.

Klein once again felt that the Hermit had a gift for being a missionary: he could make a seemingly ordinary thing sound so grand, and everyone could draw all kinds of associations. His style of pretentiousness was almost catching up with mine.

In his opinion, the "Awakening of the Fool" was not a sign of a change of era. After all, the Fool was only Sequence 7 at the moment.

Audrey asked again: "So what should we do in this situation?"

"Work hard to improve yourself." The usually quiet "World" joined in on the conversation: "Make yourself stronger, so that you can protect yourself in the apocalypse."

Klein also believed that the end of the world would come in the near future. All ordinary Beyonders could do was to work hard to improve themselves, otherwise they would not even know how they died in the end.

Just as the "Hermit" mentioned before about the "Cataclysm", most people in the "God-Forsaken Land" died in confusion. Even those who survived only understood what was happening around them after being frightened for a long time.

If it was an angel, he should be able to avoid such a disaster. Even if he was a demigod, he would not be as embarrassed as an ordinary person.

Audrey nodded: "I understand, thank you for your reminder."

Now she is almost done digesting the Sequence 8 "Mind Reader" potion. If she successfully passes the test of the "Psychological Alchemy Society", she should be able to obtain the Sequence 7 formula.

She felt a little sad, thinking that it would be better if her promotion could be faster.

Then Fors said to Alger, "After the party, I will once again offer the first chapter of 'Spiritual World Observations' to Mr. Fool."

Klein thought to himself: There's no need to sacrifice again. You've already sacrificed twice, and I have the "archives" for both.

Alger nodded: "Okay."

He had already read both "World" and "Justice" in "Spiritual World Observations", and he was also very curious about what was recorded there.

Then Alger looked at the Sun and said, "Please tell me about some of the ancient myths you know."

Derrick, the Sun, had calmed down by now. He hummed and said, "I read in some ancient books that only five ancient gods remained in the late Second Age.

"The Lord defeated the Dragon of Imagination, the Elf King, the Giant King, and the Phoenix Ancestor, and now there is only one omniscient and almighty God in the world.

"According to ancient records, the 'Lord' took the initiative to reclaim the authority of the 'Imagination Dragon' and the 'Elf King'. However, the 'Giant King' and the 'Phoenix Ancestor' repeatedly challenged the authority of the 'Almighty Lord', and as a result, these two gods fell one after another."

Klein thought to himself, behind the gray fog: Is the ancient sun god so powerful?

Audrey asked the question on everyone's mind: "The ancient sun god was so powerful, how did he fall?"

Everyone first looked at Mr. Fool at the head of the long bronze table. When Mr. Fool showed no intention of answering, everyone looked at the Hermit.

The Hermit Odysseus once again spoke his usual rhetoric: "I do know some relevant information, but I'm not very clear about the specifics. If you want to trade this kind of information, I can help you find out.

"But I want to remind everyone that this information is extremely valuable and cannot be traded for just one or two thousand pounds."

Audrey asked, "How much will it cost?"

"I don't know either," Odysseus said, "but it must be a bit expensive."

Audrey pondered for a moment before saying, "Please help me find out. If it's too expensive, we can complete part of the transaction first."

She only said "help me understand" instead of "help us understand" to avoid some disputes in the future.

Derrick said, "I also hope to join the transaction. I can use some extraordinary materials or spiritual materials as compensation."

The other members didn't express their opinions. Fors was short of money and didn't dare to express his opinion. Klein and Alger wanted to see the situation and decide whether to trade.

Odysseus said to Derrick, "You can join the deal by helping me verify some of my guesses.

"For example, when you feel it's appropriate, provide some intelligence to your superiors, such as saying that you saw a strange light in a swamp with strange fish, or accidentally felt a strange power."

Derrick immediately said, "I've basically cleared myself of suspicion now. I'll be able to report this information within a week."

Odysseus nodded and said, "Okay, if the transaction requires it, I will advance the gold pounds for you, or treat it as if you have paid the gold pounds."

Derrick asked curiously, "Mr. Hermit, what is the purpose of me reporting this information?"

Alger had already keenly noticed this and said, "It seems the Hermit has made a major breakthrough in his research on the flora and fauna of Silver City."

Klein had a similar guess, but since the Hanged Man said so, he didn't manipulate the World to express his opinion.

Derrick said happily, "Really, Mr. Hermit? Have you made any major breakthroughs?"

"It's not a major breakthrough." Odysseus smiled and said, "I just guess that there is a level 1 seal in the swamp with monsters, or a demigod-level monster.

"So I hope Silver City can explore it. Any sealed artifacts found will be yours. I just want to know if my guess is correct."

"A demigod-level seal!" Derrick said, "This is indeed worth exploring." Silver City has seals that can shatter Beyonder traits. Basically, all seals of the "Warrior" path have been crushed into Beyonder traits.

After two thousand years of accumulation, there are some demigod-level sealed objects, but the methods are relatively single. If he can add a seal of this level, he will certainly be very happy.

Alger was puzzled. "For all these years, Silver City hadn't noticed that there was a Level 1 Sealed Artifact not far from them?"

It was Derrick who answered him: "That swamp is huge. We have always been walking around it, and I have never heard of anyone exploring it."

This was not surprising to him, because until now, there had been some unknown monsters not far from Silver City.

Because the Silver City is located there, and those monsters are constantly roaming around.

The guards of Silver City are divided into the inner city guards and the outer city guards. The outer city guards constantly patrol not far from the outside of Silver City. Almost every patrol will yield gains. Most of them will obtain certain spiritual materials, and occasionally they will obtain extraordinary characteristics or the main materials of some potions.

Therefore, the demigod-level sealed object mentioned by the "hermit" may have only existed recently.

Alger nodded slowly and said nothing more.

Derrick asked again, "Mr. Hermit, what kind of sealed artifact is that?"

"I'm not sure either." Odysseus said, "But you must not tell me that there was a clue to a demigod-level seal found there.

"Just as I said just now, I only saw a strange light and felt an invisible force." Odysseus reminded him: "It is described as the feeling of a demigod-level seal, but it cannot be said that it is a demigod-level seal."

Derrick nodded: "I understand."

He had seen demigod-level sealed objects before, so he was not unfamiliar with this feeling.

At this time, the "World" asked the "Hermit": "If it is convenient, could you tell me why you discovered that sealed object?"

"The conclusions are mainly drawn from two studies," Odysseus said generously, "One study involved the dissection and comparison of organisms near the swamp.

"Before dissecting those plants and animals, it was hard to imagine that the fish provided by 'Sun' was actually a mutated 'schistosome', and the plant he provided was actually a mutated castor bean plant."

Derrick had no idea what was going on. "It's not a loach."

Fors was surprised and said, "If I remember correctly, 'Sun' said that the largest of those fish would be more than a person's height if they stood up, right?"

Derrick still didn't know what was surprising: "Yes."

Fors asked again, "Do you know how long a schistosome is in our world?"

Then she asked herself and answered, "Only two or three centimeters!"

The Fool helped Derrick convert the length units. Derrick was surprised. "Such a small thing, how could it mutate to be so long?"

The other members also had the same feeling, so everyone looked at the "Hermit" together.

Odysseus smiled and said, "I can tell you with absolute certainty that it is a mutant schistosome. First of all, the internal structures of the two are very similar, and the position and appearance of the internal organs are almost identical."

Everyone nodded, agreeing with the "Hermit"'s judgment. Although they did not have much knowledge of biology, they knew the difference between a fish and a bug, and believed that the "Hermit" would not make a wrong judgment in such a place.

Audrey once again asked the question on everyone's mind: "Why did schistosomiasis become like this?"

"I suspect it's the influence of divinity," Odysseus said, "and it's the kind of mutation that occurs under long-term influence.

"Of course, I haven't confirmed this yet. If Silver City finds a Level 1 seal in the swamp, then it can be confirmed that this is a reasonable guess."

Klein thought to himself, "The Hermit's guess sounds quite plausible." Divinity is something that's hard to pin down, but it has a significant impact on Beyonders.

Alger was both moved and curious: Divinity actually has such an effect?

Fors asked somewhat sheepishly, "Excuse me, what is divinity? Isn't that something only gods use...?"

She really didn't know how to describe divinity.

"Divinity is already present at the Sequence 4 stage," Odysseus explained. "Although it's said that the divinity at this level is very subtle, it's enough to cause a qualitative change in Beyonders and their Beyonder abilities."

Fors nodded, indicating that she understood the meaning of "Hermit" and why divinity could cause such a huge change in living things.

At this time, Audrey asked, "Mr. Hermit, why do you suspect there is a demigod-level seal there, rather than an angel-level seal? The divinity of an angel should be more powerful."

It was Alger, the "Hanged Man," who answered this question: "The reason is simple. If it were an angel-level seal, even if the City of Silver was slow to react, it would have discovered it long ago.

"Even if I feel it's too risky and I don't try to master the Sealed Artifact, I will definitely warn the ordinary residents of Silver City to stay away from that swamp.

"But the Sun heard no such warnings and safely got away with some plants and animals, as well as a poke of mud.

"This shows that the seal doesn't have much impact on the edge of the swamp. Based on the above information, it's not difficult to guess that there should be a demigod-level seal there."

Odysseus nodded slowly: "Overthrowing the political commissar" is still quite capable.

Derrick also showed an expression of admiration: "So that's how it is."

Audrey smiled and said, "Mr. Hanged Man, thank you for your answer."

She thought to herself: This kind of speculation is difficult for me.

Odysseus continued, "The influence of divinity alone is not enough to confirm my guess. My second research result almost indicates that there is a Level 1 sealed object in the swamp.

"Of course, it could also be a demigod-level monster, but that's unlikely because monsters at this level are likely to actively attack Silver City."

He paused and continued, "As for my research results, they cannot be announced yet."

Everyone was somewhat disappointed, but since the "Hermit" said so, there was a high possibility that there was a Level 1 Sealed Object in the swamp.

The topic ended here, and Alger looked at "The World" again. Now it was "The World"'s turn to talk about some mystical knowledge.

Klein pondered for a moment before saying, "As far as I know, Emperor Roselle was the previous owner of the Black Throne."
