Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 239 The First Generation of Extraordinary Puppet Birth

Alger, the Hanged Man, was slightly taken aback when he heard the Hermit's words: Is the problem at Bansy Harbor more than just a simple sacrifice to the evil god?
When the other members heard that this matter first involved the evil god and then the "Red Angel" Medici, they were gradually attracted to this matter.

Audrey Justice asked before The Hanged Man, "Mr. Hermit, what contamination has befallen them?"

"I'm not sure, but it's said the pollution was very advanced and evil," Odysseus said. "So the angels among the descendants of Medici became evil gods."

Angel!

Alger immediately asked, "Is there an angel in Bansy Harbor?"

"That's my guess," Odysseus said honestly. "You just said that the local evil god is called the 'Weather God,' and I learned from somewhere else that the potion that allows 'Hunters' to reach the angel level is called 'Weather Warlock.'"

Everyone was slightly stunned. They didn't expect to hear such information during the communication session.

Alger was a little surprised, then immediately asked, "Is that angel contaminated?"

"This is the information I learned." said Odysseus.

So, the situation in Bansy Port is very serious.

Alger pondered for a moment before asking the Hermit, "Can I report part of this information to the Church?"

He could only report part of it, because there was a lot of information that he could not collect at his current level, and reporting it would arouse suspicion.

Odysseus smiled and said, "Of course."

Klein, sitting at the head of the long bronze table, fell into deep thought. Judging from the pressure he felt at the time, it was indeed possible that he was an evil god at the level of an angel.

Before this, he always thought that it was a demigod, because if it was an angel, even if he didn't see Him, his spirituality would be affected.

However, after returning to the White Agate, Klein carefully checked and found that he had not been affected in any way, so he guessed that it was a demigod-level existence.

An angel in a strange state was understandable, but he couldn't understand why a polluted angel didn't pollute them.

Soon, he had another thought: in Bansy Harbor, the scene in the telegraph office was obviously not right, and there were also problems with the Chamber of Commerce that the "Hermit" had visited, and No. 15 on the next street. However, if he did not push open the door, these problems would only be inside the door and would not affect the outside.

Therefore, the polluted angel's real body is not on the streets of Bansy Harbor. The pressure we feel is probably just an extra manifestation of His search for something, not directed at us.

Perhaps the evil god's true form is also behind "a certain door", so we are not contaminated by him.

Thinking of this, Klein came back to his senses. At this time, "Moon" Emlyn was asking for help: "Everyone, I have a question.

"The story goes like this. Suppose a powerful person assigns you to investigate something. Although you successfully obtain intelligence, you are unable to report to that powerful person due to some reasons.

"So, how can we continue to gain support from that powerful person... Mr. Hermit, you... what are you laughing at?"

Odysseus couldn't help laughing. "I, I thought of a joke I heard before the party."

As he spoke, he took a deep breath and his expression became serious again: I was careless, I couldn't help it, but... but who could have expected that the "Moon" would suddenly do this.

In fact, not only he laughed, but other members also had smiles on their faces to varying degrees.

Klein, hidden behind the gray fog, felt the urge to cover his face: If you were captured by an official Beyonder, they wouldn't need to torture you, or even interrogate you. They'd just chat with you, and you'd have to reveal all your secrets.

"Suppose." Emlyn emphasized again: "Suppose!"

"We know." Justice Audrey quickly reassured him, "I just think the character you imagined is a very capable person who easily fulfilled the powerful man's request."

These words hit the mark, and Emlyn immediately lost his temper. At the same time, he curled his lips slightly and said, "Yes."

Then Audrey and other members turned their attention to the "Hanged Man". In their minds, Mr. "Hanged Man" had very rich experience in this area.

Alger glanced at the Moon and said, "It's very simple, but you have to bear certain risks."

Emlyn subconsciously denied it: "It's not me!"

This was his last bit of stubbornness.

Alger smiled and responded, "Suppose it's you."

He paused and continued, "You can slowly show some abnormalities in your daily life so that the strong man will notice that something is wrong with you.

"He'll have two options. One is to torture you directly, but that could easily ruin the clues. The other is to inadvertently help you, allowing you to conduct a more in-depth investigation, and then send someone to monitor you.

"I think the second possibility is the most likely. The risk you have to take is how to avoid exposing the intelligence you want to hide under surveillance."

Emlyn was stunned: Is this possible?

Then he thought: I won't be exposed. Every time I attend the Tarot Club, I rest in the Harvest Church. The people sent by Lord Nibais to monitor me will never approach the Harvest Church.

Then, he suddenly remembered something and said to the Hanged Man, "Didn't you ask last week how to make everyone on a boat fall asleep at the same time?
"I can provide a magical anesthetic gas that spreads effectively, has no pungent odor, and can cause coma even on deck if smelled directly.

"Of course, you'd better choose a night with no wind.

"It can produce deep sleep for over three hours, after which the effect decreases.

"100 pounds a can, and I'll be paid an extra 30 pounds."

Alger thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

He did not bargain because he wanted to establish a certain image in front of "Moon" and prepare for the subsequent big deal.

As the exchange drew to a close, Klein manipulated the World to speak to Justice and Magician, "Ladies, could you please buy me a radio receiver?"

He accidentally obtained the telegraph frequencies and codes of the "Blood Admiral" and intelligence officers scattered throughout the Raging Sea, intending to use the receiver to obtain the approximate location of the other party.

Magician Fors said, "I can give it a try."

At a writer's salon a few days ago, she had just heard a science fiction writer talk about the telegraph, but she wanted to ask the science fiction writer for help in buying one.

After a few more words, Klein announced the end of the gathering.

……

In the castle of the Earl of Hall's territory in East Chestershire.

Audrey returned to the real world and first offered the gold pounds for the transaction. Then, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "The Hermit" is Lelouch! No wonder I always had the illusion that Lelouch was not far away from me. It turns out that I can see him at the weekly party.

Then she sighed in her heart: Being a pirate on the sea has always been my dream, digging for treasure, fighting pirates, having different adventures every day, and leaving behind legendary stories on the sea.

At this time, Susie, who was on guard, came in from outside. She looked up at Audrey and said, "Audrey, you seem to have suddenly learned something exciting."

"Yes." Audrey said, "I thought of something very interesting."

"whats the matter?"

"I'm going to write to the post office and ask if they have any local newspapers in Turbulent Sea." Audrey walked to the desk. "If they do, I'll subscribe to a few."

She believed that through those newspapers, she would be able to find out about Lelouch's whereabouts.

Susie tilted her head, as if she didn't understand what was so happy about this?

……

Lasha Island, inside the Emerald Palace.

Odysseus opened his eyes and saw the roof of the Emerald Palace. He was stunned for a while, and then, like last week, he took candles and spiritual materials and came to an uninhabited island.

After setting up the altar, Odysseus waited for more than ten minutes and received a notice from Mr. Fool to perform the bestowal ceremony.

Soon he received 3150 pounds in cash and three Sequence 9 level extraordinary materials.

This time, Odysseus reaped a great harvest at the Tarot Club. First, he completed a transaction with the Hanged Man regarding his extraordinary characteristics and received 1150 pounds.

He got 2000 pounds from the transaction information. He was originally only supposed to get 1800 pounds, but after explaining the adjacent channels to "Moon", he got an extra 200 pounds, so he finally got the full 2000 pounds.

Odysseus then sacrificed the Briber's extraordinary characteristics and four extraordinary weapons. At the same time, the extraordinary weapon transaction also made him owe "The Sun" 60 pounds.

After completing the transaction, Odysseus returned to the Emerald Palace. He was just thinking about where to have a meal to celebrate his promotion when Arya came to visit and delivered the first batch of parts produced by the foundry.

Previously, Odysseus commissioned the foundry on Lasha Island to produce a batch of metal parts, and the first batch of parts was delivered today.

There weren't many, only two sets, mainly for Odysseus to check whether they met his requirements.

Odysseus thanked her and offered Arya a cup of tea.

After sending Alia away, he simply used "travel" to come to the "craftsman" Dave. Sure enough, the extraordinary parts he commissioned the "craftsman" to make had been completed, but he had not had time to send someone to deliver them to Odysseus.

Odysseus paid 2600 fil gold, about 110 pounds, and chatted for a while. Then he returned to the Emerald Palace, took out the foot-operated engraving machine he made from the "Wilderness of Knowledge", and began to engrave occult symbols on the metal parts taken from the foundry.

The entire design of the "Extraordinary Puppet" was in Odysseus's mind. He knew very well which part needed to be engraved with which symbol.

Originally, he just wanted to carve for a while and then go to Bayam for a good meal around six o'clock.

However, after starting to work, Odysseus immediately devoted himself to it and carved one part after another.

Finally, he found that a set of parts had already been carved out, so he simply took out the corresponding extraordinary materials and coated the carved occult symbols with spiritual materials.

While Odysseus was assembling the "puppet", he heard Bernadette's personal maid outside ask, "Mr. Odysseus, are you there? Mr. Odysseus?"

Odysseus was stunned for a moment before asking, "I'm here, what's going on?"

"The Queen asked me to invite you to dinner," said the personal maid.

In fact, Bernadette's original words were: This guy is usually very active during meals, go and see if he is in his room? If not, don't wait for him.

Odysseus said, "Please ask the Queen to come to my place and tell her that I have something important to discuss with her."

The personal maid was stunned for a moment, but still said, "Okay."

Odysseus continued to install the Extraordinary Puppet. When he felt that there was suddenly another person in the room, he said, "Wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

At this time, he had assembled the torso of the "Extraordinary Puppet". After installing the breastplate with a magic circle inside, Odysseus installed the crystal-like parts commissioned by Div to the hollow abdomen of the "puppet".

After it is fixed, the rest of the process is relatively easy. The steel spine has been installed, and then the back armor and steel neck are installed.

The neck is very thin and there is a bowl-shaped container on top.

Odysseus placed the six-sided Rubik's Cube in the container and said with a smile, "Look carefully! The first 'Extraordinary Puppet' has been born."

As he spoke, Odysseus looked back and saw Bernadette who had been watching silently.

Seeing that the audience was indeed there, Odysseus injected the initial spirituality into the lower back of the iron guy, and the iron guy's abdomen immediately emitted a soft light.

That was the magic circle that gathered spiritual energy starting to work. Then the faint light was connected in series by the magic circles and spiritual materials, spreading in two different directions, upward and downward.

When it reached the neck, the bowl-shaped container also emitted a faint pure white light, and the extraordinary symbols within it gradually lit up.

The six-sided Rubik's Cube slowly floated up and gradually turned into a shape with a pointed corner facing downwards.

Click~
The Rubik's Cube suddenly turned on its own, and the entire "Extraordinary Puppet" seemed to tremble.

Odysseus said, "Go get me a glass of water."

Click~click~click~
The Rubik's Cube turned a few more times, and then the "Extraordinary Puppet" began to move, turned around and walked towards the table.

During this process, the sound of metal parts rubbing against each other could be heard, but soon the sound of friction became smaller and smaller, and the "Extraordinary Puppet" moved more and more smoothly.

It poured a glass of water and brought it to Odysseus.

Although the "Extraordinary Puppet"'s movements were very stiff and it spilled some water, it was harmless.

Odysseus took a sip of water and asked Bernadette, "How is it?"

Bernadette seemed to come back to her senses suddenly: "How...how did you do that?"

If it was a Demigod-level Extraordinary, creating an "Extraordinary Puppet" would not be a big deal, but a Sequence 7 actually created an "Extraordinary Puppet", which was enough to surprise her.

Before this, she had always thought that the "extraordinary puppets" mentioned by Odysseus were mechanical puppets with a mechanical structure, driven by springs, and capable of performing fixed actions or tasks. These puppets could be used for rowing, firing cannons, and even fighting.

But she really didn't expect that it was such a sophisticated puppet that could execute complex commands.

To be honest, the appearance of this puppet is a bit scary at the moment, with long limbs and neck, and only half a head, but it has a kind of weird beauty that made Bernadette a little dazed for a moment.

"The core technology of this puppet comes from my research: spiritual wave signals." Odysseus explained, "I discovered that if spirituality is studied as a wave, the 'waves' it forms can form completely different signals under stimulation of different lengths, strengths, and distances.

"In theory, there are countless different combinations of this signal.

"And inside this Rubik's Cube, each small piece has a corresponding mystical symbol. Through the 'processing' of the mystical symbols inside the Rubik's Cube, the spiritual power can form a complex 'combination signal'.

"The 'combined signal' then returns to the magic array within the 'puppet', activating different magic arrays to complete complex or simple actions...

"Oh, by the way, after installing the upper part of its head, it can actually talk."

Bernadette stared at the "Extraordinary Puppet" in a trance. She understood every theory that Odysseus said, but when they were put together, she couldn't understand it anymore.

After a long pause, she asked, "What exactly can this 'puppet' do... well, I mean, how complex can it do it?"

"He can't do creative work." Odysseus pinched his chin and thought for a moment, "For example, asking him to design a ship or write a poem is impossible.

"However, it has the ability to learn. For example, it doesn't know how to build a ship now, but if it sees workers building a ship, it can imitate them.

"Or, in other words, it's called a poor imitation, because when objective conditions change, like a broken tool or insufficient materials, it needs to be reminded to replace or repair the tool, or to obtain materials from a designated location, so that the shipbuilding work can continue.

"Of course, it's not 'stupid' either. The next time you encounter the same problem, you'll have a solution."

At this point, he scratched his head and said: "As long as it has been studied for a period of time, it can do all kinds of work, including creative work or work involving emotions and feelings, as well as delicate work.

"Well, theoretically, that magic can generate 4 trillion different instructions. Of course, in practice, we definitely won't need that many instructions, but it's enough for it to complete some complex tasks."

To be precise, this "smart Rubik's Cube" has only six sides, so it cannot do very delicate work.

If it was Odysseus' most complex design, the thirty-two-sided "Wisdom Cube", the movements of the "Extraordinary Puppet" would never be so stiff. It would be exactly the same as that of a human being, and it would also have the logic of emotions and feelings.

It can be said that except for being unable to create, everything else can basically be done.

Bernadette concluded: "This is completely different from the 'Extraordinary Puppet' I had in mind."

This puppet was not created using extraordinary abilities, but was a product based on logic and technological accumulation.

Bernadette suddenly felt that it was very out of place and out of tune with this extraordinary world.

At this time, Odysseus installed the last part of the "Extraordinary Puppet", the upper part of its head.

Odysseus left two glass mirror structures in his eyes, allowing pure white light to shine through. After being refracted by the mirror surface, it formed a light that looked a bit like his eyes.

Odysseus asked, "What's today's date?"

The Extraordinary Puppet spoke in a voice that was emotionless and somewhat vague: "Fifth Epoch, 1350, January 1th."

Odysseus smiled and said, "Remember this day. It is your birthday and the birthday of your tribe."

He then explained to Bernadette, “You can determine whether it is functioning properly by asking for the date.

"Also, do you remember the 'Smart Helmet'? After I modified it, I can also use the 'knowledge infusion' method to instill new knowledge and common sense into it.

"Of course, that also involves the corresponding array for extracting knowledge. In the past two weeks, we've made some significant breakthroughs, and we should be able to enter the application stage soon."

Bernadette finally came to her senses. She asked solemnly, "Are you planning to use these puppets on your own ship?"

"I know what you're worried about." Odysseus smiled. "Their existence is truly astonishing. This means that once the time is right, we can assemble an absolutely loyal, fearless 'puppet army'."

Bernadette nodded. She thought so too. The "extraordinary puppet" in front of her was something that could completely change the current world situation!
Even if the major forces have the support of extraordinary power for a period of time, the side with the "extraordinary puppet" will definitely have a huge advantage.

Odysseus smiled easily and said, “I have thought about this issue a long time ago.

"Also because of its extraordinary power, if one does not understand the technology and internal structure of this 'puppet', then this puppet is not that special."

Bernadette immediately understood what Odysseus meant: when people saw this "puppet," they would first think that it was something made by a demigod. People's understanding of Extraordinary would never allow them to imagine that this was actually something designed and made by a Sequence 7.

Finally, Odysseus said: "As for its technical structure and design concept, I will only tell you.

"If there was a leak, it must have been you who told someone else."

Bernadette smiled and nodded with satisfaction, "I'm glad you have this idea."

Odysseus looked out the window and said, "If you're not very hungry yet, I'll treat you to some barbecue. Well, it takes some time to prepare the barbecue."

Bernadette said, "Okay."

So Odysseus brought the "puppet" to the kitchen and asked the chef for beef and mutton, and marinated the meat first.

During the meat-cutting process, Odysseus put on clean gloves for the "puppet". After he demonstrated, he let the puppet cut the meat.

Bernadette followed behind and watched quietly.

The chefs were originally too afraid to make a sound because of the presence of the "mysterious queen", but later they watched this iron guy cutting the meat, as if they were watching some kind of performance, and were completely fascinated.

The servants working in the Jade Palace all knew some extraordinary knowledge, so they were not surprised as to why this iron thing could move and why it was so flexible. They just felt it was novel.

In addition, some chefs are already worried that their jobs will be taken away by this iron guy.

After marinating the meat, Odysseus asked the "puppet" to move the oven to the beach and test the "puppet's" strength.

After that, the table and beer were moved, and the "puppet" completed the instructions.

By this time the meat was almost marinated, and Odysseus was still responsible for demonstrating. After threading the meat, he grilled a bunch of skewers, and then let the "puppet" thread and grill the meat.

Odysseus sat down on the beach and listened to the waves breaking on the shore. They both needed no lights to see everything around them, and there was moonlight tonight.

Odysseus poured out the beer, occasionally looked at the operation of the "puppet", ate the skewers and drank the beer, feeling very comfortable.

Bernadette raised her glass and said, "Congratulations, you've been promoted again."

"Thank you." Odysseus clinked his glass with hers and drank the beer in it.

Obviously, Bernadette knew that he had been promoted to Sequence 6.

Odysseus was not surprised by this.

Bernadette inquired about Odysseus's condition and confirmed that he had not received any special treatment from the Hidden Sage before she said, "I have a quest for you. I originally intended the reward to be in gold pounds, but now it seems that a Sequence 5 potion formula can be used instead.

"However, this mission isn't dangerous, and its value isn't enough to exchange for a Sequence 5 formula. I can give you the formula first, and you can go collect the materials. After all, materials at this level take a long time to gather.

"You will have to complete more tasks in the future to offset the potion formula you owe me."

Odysseus nodded: "Okay, what mission?"

Originally, he also planned to obtain or trade the potion formula from Bernadette.

"Investigate a man named Odell in Bayam," Bernadette said. "His nickname is 'Silver Coin Viper.'"

Then she explained, "My intelligence officer in Bayam heard that Odel recently claimed to be working for me.

"The main thing is to check his background to see if he represents someone or an organization."

Odysseus felt that the name sounded familiar, and after a little "recall", Odysseus, who had a "God's perspective", recalled who the "Silver Coin Viper" was: Although Odel claimed to work for the "Mysterious Queen", he actually served the "Blood Admiral".

He couldn't remember the details of this person, but he remembered that he seemed very treacherous and not very high-ranking. So he asked, "Is it just a matter of investigating thoroughly? Do we need to find out his background and then eliminate him?"

That way, the mission would be more valuable.

"No need." Bernadette smiled and said, "This kind of person can be killed at any time, but if he is alive, he may be of greater use in the future."

Odysseus nodded. "Okay, after I finish these two days, I'll start investigating Bayam."

Bernadette nodded, ate a bite of the roast meat that her maid had taken off the skewer, then took out a piece of parchment from her pocket and handed it to Odysseus.

Odysseus took it, opened it and saw the words: "Sequence 5: Astrologer
"Main ingredients: the core crystal of the Shimmering Star Tree, the pituitary gland of the Deceptive Pegasus.

"Supplementary materials: 50 grams of black-veined peony essential oil, 50 grams of misty black birch sap, one shimmering star tree fruit, and 12 grams of trickery Pegasus liver.

"Ritual: Ride on the back of the colorful star-eyed beast and drink the potion under the midnight sky."

Odysseus frowned. Not to mention the two main ingredients, he had never even heard of the two auxiliary ingredients, the essential oil of black-veined peony and the sap of misty black birch.

Bernadette smiled and asked, "Do you think advancing to Sequence 5 is difficult?"

For wild Beyonders, Sequence 6 is usually the limit, because at Sequence 5, not only is it difficult to obtain the main ingredients for potions, but the promotion ceremony is also difficult to complete.

Therefore, it is difficult for wild Beyonders to become Sequence 5 without the support of Beyonder organizations.

"Indeed." Odysseus said honestly, "This potion formula gives me no clue at all."

"If you really can't find the main ingredients, I can provide you with Beyonder characteristics," Bernadette said kindly. "Also, I have three colorful star-eyed beasts in captivity who can help you solve the ritual problem."

As one of the main extraordinary organizations of the "Mysterious Peepers" path, such preparations are of course necessary to avoid the "Moss Ascetic Order" affecting the promotion of its members.

Odysseus felt that he suddenly saw hope.

At this time, Bernadette changed the subject and said, "However, you must accumulate enough merits from me before you can obtain this help."

Odysseus gave a wry smile. The debt of the potion formula hadn't been paid off yet, and now he had to bear the debt of the extraordinary characteristics and rituals?

He thought about it and decided that he should try his best to find the main ingredients and auxiliary materials in the potion formula.

After gathering all the materials, ask the "Mysterious Queen" to help you perform the ceremony. Otherwise, if you rely entirely on the "Mysterious Queen", you may not be able to gather all the merits and achievements in who knows when.

Then Odysseus asked, "Besides earning merits by completing quests, how else can we earn merits?"

"You can continue with your old job," Bernadette said. "Collect intelligence. Regardless of whether it's directed at the Elemental Dawn or not, as long as it's valuable information, you'll earn merit."

Odysseus nodded: "I understand."

In other words, there is no way to buy merit with money.

After discussing this issue, Odysseus paid attention to the operation of the "Extraordinary Puppet" while thinking about the next plan.

He also didn't expect that he would get the formula for a Sequence 6 potion on the day he was promoted to Sequence 5.

Odysseus didn't even know whether this was lucky or unlucky.

It's just bad luck, some extraordinary people will never get a formula of this level in their entire life.

I was lucky, I just got promoted and before I had time to be happy, I was overwhelmed by the main materials and rituals.

Seeing that the "Extraordinary Puppet" could function normally, Odysseus took a deep breath: Don't worry about further promotion for now, worry about the potion in a few days, just enjoy the happiness brought by the promotion for the next few days.

So he said, "Give the first 'Extraordinary Puppet' a name. We may make some improvements in the future, but this 'Puppet' is of extraordinary significance."

Bernadette nodded, agreeing with this statement: "Do you have any good names?"

"How about calling it 'Unit 1'?" Odysseus felt for the first time that his name was a good one. "As promised, this 'Extraordinary Puppet' is yours."

Previously, Odysseus obtained information about the "Tree of Alamein" from Bernadette, on the condition that he would give Bernadette one of the "Extraordinary Puppet" after it was completed.

Bernadette had no objection to the name and readily accepted "Unit 1".

After eating and drinking, Odysseus simply lay on the beach and looked at the night sky quietly.

Bernadette sat quietly by the side, staring blankly at "Unit No. 1" as the oven was being carried back.

The personal maid suddenly felt that time seemed to stand still.
