Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 222 The main ingredients of the potion are gathered
Arya smiled helplessly when she heard what Odysseus said.

Those young navigators did seem a little inexperienced, but President Yi Laizhe was already so old that it was unlikely that he would go to sea again.

Even if he goes out to sea, he will be a navigator for the "Queen" and will not board Odysseus's ship.

Yi Laizhe stroked his gray beard and smiled, "You can see that my beard has turned white. I think teaching navigator apprentices is more suitable for me."

Odysseus smiled and said, "We should let these apprentice navigators go out to sea to gain some experience. If you are willing to go out to sea, I am willing to provide them with food and lodging."

Yi Laizhe shook his head: "Then they will definitely die under the enemy's artillery and muskets, or die in close combat with the enemy."

On a ship, navigator is a very special profession.

When a battle breaks out, the navigator is the only one who can hide in the cabin.

After being captured, the navigator will most likely not be killed.

After all, the ocean is so vast and there are not many reference points. Navigators who can know the direction and their approximate position through the stars are "guides on the sea."

In addition, the best among them can even judge impending storms and storms through the clouds. They are "high-tech" talents at sea and will certainly not be killed at will after being caught.

If Ilezhe and the apprentices boarded Odysseus' ship, only he would be able to enjoy the treatment of a navigator. The other apprentices would have to participate in battles like the other crew members, and go out on deck to fight the weather and the sea when encountering storms.

These young people who have only learned the theoretical knowledge of navigators have a survival rate lower than that of ordinary crew members.

Odysseus wanted to persuade him again, but in the end he smiled and said, "That's a pity."

Seeing that Odysseus didn't insist any further, Yilaizhe smiled and said, "I will keep an eye out for you. If there are any navigators leaving other ships, I will notify you immediately."

Odysseus nodded: "Okay."

After leaving the guild, Odysseus asked Alia, "How many years has this guild master been a navigator? When did he start teaching students?"

"He started working as a navigator at the age of 18." Alia didn't think too much about it and replied, "From his twenties to his fifties, he was the navigator of the Dawn.

"I've forgotten exactly how many years I've been doing this, but I'm generally recognized as the most experienced navigator.

"He retired from the Dawn just four or five years ago, and the following year he was elected president of the Navigators' Guild."

Odysseus nodded: "I understand."

Alia smiled and said, "You're not really going to ask him to be your navigator, are you?"

It's not impossible. If Odysseus asks the "Queen" to come forward, Elijah will have no choice but to board Odysseus's ship.

Odysseus smiled and said, "I don't really like forcing others to do things they don't want to do."

Alia said "Oh" and didn't care too much about it.

In the afternoon, Odysseus continued to teach the scholars about mysticism and magic arrays, and told them that they would start carving the "engine magic array" on board in three or four days, and they must master all the knowledge of this magic array in the next few days.

The scholars suddenly felt like vomiting blood. They didn't expect that they would have to suffer such torture at such an old age.

At night, Bernadette had something to do and was not in the Emerald Palace.

Odysseus hurriedly finished his dinner and took advantage of the dusk to use the "travel ring" to arrive at the uninhabited island whose precise coordinates Bernadette provided.

The island is not big. The outermost layer is a circle of coconut trees, and the interior of the island is a dense forest.

In the middle of the island is a volcano that shows no signs of activity. The slopes are covered with trees and green grass, but there is little vegetation on the top of the mountain.

The "Tree of Alamein" was not difficult to find. Odysseus came to the top of the mountain and took a quick look. He saw a bronze tree that was not very tall.

The reason why it was seen at a glance was that within a radius of ten meters around it, there were many large trees broken in half.

There were also some animal carcasses, which looked very dangerous at first glance.

Odysseus touched his hair and found it quite thick, so he put on a hat to prevent his hair from falling here.

Then, he put on the "Hand of Judgement" gloves and used the "Travel Ring" to come near the "Tree of Alamein".

From a close distance, the tree looks a bit like a metal tree, with the trunk being a bit brass-colored and the leaves being a bit bronze-colored.

At the top of the brass trunk, there is an irregularly shaped burl, and the lines on the burl actually form several fonts that look like mystical symbols.

At the top of the tree, five white flowers bloomed.

The flowers are trumpet-shaped and not very big.

Odysseus did not face much pressure in dealing with the "Tree of Alamein". After all, it was only slightly stronger than Sequence 7, and Odysseus had two seals that matched Sequence 5.

Odysseus was about to pick up a dry branch from the ground to test the firepower of the "Tree of Alamein" when suddenly, the five flowers on the tree slowly moved towards Odysseus.

As Odysseus raised his hand, the ground suddenly shook, and a wave formed by soil rushed towards Odysseus, making it impossible for Odysseus to "aim" at the "Tree of Alamein".

He had no choice but to sprinkle a handful of ochre powder, which spread in the air, emitting a strong earthy smell. The soil wave immediately became twisted, forming a vortex.

In front of Odysseus, this "soil wave" was dissolved by his "witchcraft".

Odysseus immediately sprinkled a handful of transparent "flying powder" and said to the "Tree of Alamein": "Imprison!"

The air around the "Tree of Alamein" suddenly became sticky, covering the tree like a huge amber.

Odysseus suddenly flew forward: "Death!"

When the sticky liquid became thinner and the "Tree of Alamein" was about to break free from its "captivity", Odysseus had already rushed to the tree and broke it in half with one punch.

Odysseus took a few steps back and did not step forward immediately.

Today was his first time hunting extraordinary plants. He felt that it should be like killing an extraordinary person. He just had to wait for crystals with the same extraordinary properties to precipitate.

But what Odysseus did not expect was that the "Tree of Alamein" that had fallen to the ground suddenly stood up on its own, and then a "hurricane" blew towards Odysseus.

Odysseus was stunned for about half a second, but quickly reacted and sprinkled a handful of white powder. The powder instantly "melted" into the air, forming a spiritual barrier in front of Odysseus, blocking the "hurricane" and sharp "wind blade" coming towards him.

At the same time, Odysseus realized that his previous attack did not hit the vital point of the "Tree of Alamein".

At this time, he looked at the "tree tumor" at the top of the trunk.

Odysseus used the "flying technique" again to fly into the air. He took out the prepared silver-white axe in the shape of a "thunderstorm bomb" and threw it out.

yah~
A silver-white light quickly spread and penetrated into the ground.

The light expanded, forming a continuously flickering semicircular arc. The arc instantly expanded to about five meters, accommodating the "Tree of Alamein" within this range.

The "Tree of Alamein" suddenly fell into a brief state of paralysis. Odysseus pulled out the dagger he carried with him, stabbed it into the tree tumor, and quickly flew forward and swung the dagger.

Most of the tumor separated from the trunk, and the whole "Tree of Alamein" seemed to tremble. Then Odysseus seemed to feel that the spirit of the "Tree of Alamein" on the ground in front of him seemed to suddenly condense.

Odysseus was sure that this time he had killed the tree.

Soon he discovered that some crystals appeared in the tree knot, which meant that the crystals of the "Tree of Alamein" had begun to precipitate.

Only then did Odysseus take off the glove-shaped "Hand of Judgement" and search the surroundings with his spiritual power to make sure that none of his hair had fallen around.

During the crystal precipitation process, Odysseus was not idle. He used a dagger to collect the flowers and leaves of the "Tree of Alamein". There were five flowers in total, and the leaves were not very dense, with only about a hundred pieces.

Finally, there was the spiritual bark and sap. After all the spiritual materials were collected, the crystals were completely precipitated. Odysseus took out the wooden box that had been prepared long ago and placed the crystals in it.

Although he knew that there were two other "Alamein Trees" on the island, this was Bernadette's backyard after all, and it would not be easy to "kill them all". So he simply did not look for the other two "Alamein Trees" and used the "Travel Ring" to return to Lasha Island.

After putting both the spiritual materials and the "Crystal of the Alamein Tree" into the "Wilderness of Knowledge", Odysseus suddenly realized that keeping the "Alamein Tree" was indeed more valuable.

It seems to bloom three to five flowers every year, and each flower can normally be sold for more than two hundred pounds. Even if it only sells for 200 pounds, it will be an income of 600 to 1000 pounds.

Even in Backlund, this is a very good investment project.

But he was just thinking about it, because he didn't have the ability to grow this extraordinary plant.

The next day, Odysseus began to implement his plan. He rented a small shop on Kent Blue Street in Bayam.

Kentra Street is not long, but it is Bayam's famous "herbal antiques" street. Herbs are not difficult to understand, as that is Odysseus's main business.

The so-called antiques are actually the shipwrecks salvaged by pirates at sea, or antiques dug up from colonies.

In addition, there are many fortune-telling stalls or stores on the streets here. It is also a gathering place for mysticism enthusiasts and "low-sequence" extraordinary people.

The reason why Odysseus chose this place is because it is relatively chaotic here. There are people who really do business, but there are also many scammers.

Such a place can make intelligence bases more covert.

At the beginning, Odysseus planned to use this place to digest the potion, so he asked someone to make a sign of "Wizard's Office" with a line of small words to explain: Specializing in solving all kinds of strange and bizarre matters.

It’s just short of saying “specializing in solving occult cases.”

The signboard will not be completed until tomorrow, and some of the ordered furniture will not be delivered until tomorrow. After Odysseus agreed with them on the time of receipt, he used the "Travel Ring" to return to Lasha Island and taught the scholars an afternoon.

In the evening, Odysseus received a "transaction reminder" from "Justice" that the "Psychological Alchemy Society" was willing to complete the transaction with him.

So Odysseus sacrificed the silver-white sword to the Fool as a seal of appearance, and the "Eyes of the Spirit Bird" could only be obtained tomorrow.

The collection of the main ingredients for the potion went more smoothly than expected. By tomorrow, the two main ingredients will be gathered, and the most critical auxiliary ingredient, the flowers of the "Tree of Alamein", have also been obtained. Odysseus has also prepared the other auxiliary materials.

Now all that's left is to digest the last bit of the potion.

This made Odysseus plan to visit the church of the Evernight Goddess in Bayam in the next two days and do some simple renovations to the "Wizard Office".

From now on, I will go there every night and try to get some new customers as soon as possible.

At night, Bernadette was still not in the Emerald Palace.

Odysseus didn't plan to go out today, so as usual, he ate dinner and chatted with Bernadette's personal maid.

Although Bernadette was not there, the tableware was still set for her and the personal maid was waiting there. The tableware would only be removed if Bernadette had not returned after 8 o'clock in the evening.

So usually when Bernadette was not around, Odysseus would chat and eat with his personal maid.

Odysseus was a little tired of eating seafood these days, so he changed the taste today and asked the chef to make three vegetable dishes, as well as steak and salad.

While eating the dish of "Sweet and Sour Lettuce", Odysseus heard from Bernadette's personal maid that Bernadette went to the Violent Sea to buy spiritual materials.

The personal maid knew very well that Odysseus was a good friend of the "Queen", so she did not hide this matter that did not need to be kept secret.

Odysseus took a bite of the lettuce with tomatoes as a side dish, and the taste was similar to the "cold dish" he had imagined.

He remembered that Bernadette had said two days ago that this was the last batch of spiritual materials needed for shipbuilding.

So Odysseus asked casually while chewing: "Where exactly did you go?"

The personal maid said, "It seems he went to Bansy Harbor."

"where?"

"Bansi Harbor." Seeing Odysseus's big reaction, the maid asked, "What's wrong?"

Odysseus suddenly had a bad premonition, because "Mr. Fool's Follower" had arrived in the Violent Sea. Wherever this guy went, danger followed.

If he remembered correctly, Klein should have arrived at Bansy Port recently, and Bansy Port became very dangerous.

However, Odysseus wasn't too worried. After all, Bernadette was a Sequence 3, possessing strong self-protection abilities. Furthermore, Bernadette hadn't encountered any significant danger before finding Roselle...

But soon, Odysseus thought again: The reason she's not in too much danger is because she should be in Backlund right now! And because I participated in the "Backlund Great Smog" incident, which changed "history," Bernadette, who was originally in Backlund, is now trading spiritual materials for shipbuilding!
Odysseus immediately stood up, feeling a little worried, and prepared to go to Bansy Port.
