Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 243: Encountering the "Fool" Again

In the second half of the night, the sky over Bayam finally cleared up, which also meant that the "Sea God" was dead. The battle between the two demigods over the weather was over. Now was the best window of opportunity to explore the ruins of the elves.

Following the planned plan, Odysseus put on the ghost mask he had bought from Bayam, injected his spirituality into the "Travel Ring", and after entering the spirit world, used the blue jade dagger to guide his direction.

At this time, the luster of the jade dagger is no longer as good as before. I believe that if the characteristics in Kalvetuwa's body are completely extracted, this dagger will no longer have this jade-like touch.

Odysseus was very careful. He would walk in the spiritual world for a while and then go to the real world to re-determine his position.

Sometimes he would appear on an unknown island, sometimes he would appear on the sea.

Fortunately, Odysseus was prepared and threw out a scroll. A pair of huge, illusory, translucent shoes seemed to appear on his feet, allowing him to stand on the sea for a short time.

After walking and stopping for more than ten minutes, the jade dagger began to point downwards.

Odysseus threw out another scroll: "Open!"

A layer of transparent bubbles seemed to appear around him, wrapping him up inside, but without affecting Odysseus's paddling movements.

This scroll allows him to move freely on the seabed for a short period of time.

In order to explore the ruins of the elves, Odysseus made many scrolls that could be used in water in the afternoon, which almost filled his briefcase.

Continuing into the spirit world, Odysseus' spirit soon realized that it had reached its destination.

He emerged from the spirit world and found himself in the depths of the ocean.

In the dim light, Odysseus saw a large area of uniquely styled buildings in front of him, but most of the ruins had collapsed.

Not far away, there was something like a light curtain, isolating the sea water and forming a space like a hole.

At the same time, this space looks rather unreal, as if it is between the spiritual world and the real world!

Odysseus swam into the light curtain and put the jade dagger into his backpack.

He saw a group of dilapidated ruins, some of which were tall, some were short, and all bore the vicissitudes of time.

In the ruins, there are some special corals that emit a faint light, which clearly reveals the surrounding ruins, but also gives the ruins a sense of oppression and sacredness.

Odysseus first observed the dagger in the bowl. It was pointing to a temple. Obviously, Kalvetuwa was there, but he should be dead now.

Odysseus was not here to acquire extraordinary characteristics, so after looking around and making sure that the guards here had not noticed him, he used the "Invisibility Scroll" to hide himself and boldly observed the light curtain that isolated the sea water and concealed the ruins.

In his opinion, this thing is very cool. If he finds out the mechanism of its operation, he can even consider building his own secret base in the sea.

In fact, it is not difficult to isolate it from the sea water. The difficulty lies in how to make this relic between the reality and the spiritual world, so as to hide it well.

As a result, the Storm Church has been searching for so long but has not found any trace of the "Sea God" Kalvetua.

After searching along the light curtain for seven or eight minutes, Odysseus finally found the occult symbol on the ground.

Odysseus pulled away the bricks and stones. Knowing the "ancient elven language", he quickly understood the meaning of these symbols.

He took out the engineer shovel he had prepared long ago and continued to carefully dig down the broken bricks. Sure enough, he found a hollow space underneath, and at the bottom of the space there was a complete magic circle.

According to Odysseus's judgment, this is a small "terminal type" magic circle that provides power for the light curtain.

Thousands of years have passed, and this magic circle is still functioning normally!
Moreover, the material used to write the magic circle is still very clear, without any signs of fading.

Without affecting the magic circle, Odysseus took some samples of the written magic circle and planned to take them back for research.

Then Odysseus realized that although the "Wilderness of Knowledge" contained many magic circles of the elves, it did not include the magic circle in front of him.

So Odysseus took out a pen and paper and made a detailed record.

Based on this small magic circle, Odysseus looked at a relic next to the hall. According to his knowledge of magic circles and knowledge of mystical symbols, he deduced that there was the "control room" of the entire magic circle.

When Odysseus got closer, he found that half of the building had collapsed, and because it was close to the hall, he could faintly hear Kalvetuva's roar.

This made Odysseus smile slightly. There was a corpse of a demigod-level sea serpent lying next to him, but he was carefully studying the magic circle in this ancient relic.

This made him feel like a female classmate asked him to repair her computer, and he really just repaired the computer.

Continuing his exploration, Odysseus recalled that there seemed to be some priests and guards in the temple of the "Poseidon".

However, looking at the scene in the ruins, it is clear that few people come here. Odysseus thought about it and realized that a Wild God Church would not think of recruiting and organizing scholars to study the ruins of the elves.

Even the clergy of the Church of Poseidon may not know that this is a relic of the elves.

While searching with an engineering shovel, Odysseus found some clues. There seemed to be a magic circle buried under the ruins.

This made Odysseus feel helpless, because the ruins in front of him were really difficult to clean up. By the time he dug out the magic circle, the people from the Storm Church would probably be here.

wow~
In a ruin not far away, a stone brick suddenly fell and made a sound.

Odysseus looked carefully and found no one there.

Then, he suddenly looked behind him, where there were only ruins.

Odysseus frowned. Just for a moment, he felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at him.

This made Odysseus check his status immediately. The "invisibility" effect was still there, but after one minute, he would have to use another scroll.

After carefully observing his surroundings, Odysseus used the "Invisibility Scroll" in advance and continued exploring.

We won’t dig up this relic. After all, it can’t be a very important magic circle in a place where anyone can see it.

Odysseus estimated that this was a "spiritual emission" array, and there should be many sub-arrays in the ruins. After the surrounding spirits were gathered here, they were sent to the "terminal" array using the "spiritual emission" array. Those terminal arrays would set up a "light curtain" to isolate the sea water outside.

The truly important magic circle should be underground or in a secret room.

Odysseus searched the ruins and finally found the corresponding "open door" symbol on the wall of the next room.

He thought to himself: I hope there is no curse.

Place your hand on the correct symbol and inject spirituality into it, and the surrounding symbols will immediately light up, but they will only light up, without any other reactions.

Since the symbol can still light up, it means that the mechanism on the wall can still be activated. However, a spell is needed to activate the magic circle, but Odysseus does not know what the spell is, so the door did not open.

Odysseus thought to himself: I wonder if the spell will be "Open Sesame"?
Then he breathed a sigh of relief. The magic circle design from thousands of years ago was not beyond his knowledge.

Then Odysseus was somewhat delighted, because this once again proved that he had mastered very advanced mystical theories, although the "Gal Runes" were different from the "Ancient Elvish Language", and the formats of the magic circles were also different.

However, the theories of mysticism are universal. As long as you master the theory, different symbols are just different tools.

Faced with the problem at hand, Odysseus first tried to use "travel" to get in, but after entering the spiritual world, the first thing he heard was a painful roar in his ears. Not far away from the spiritual world, there was an illusory sea serpent, roaring with its mouth open.

That is the spiritual legacy of the "Sea God" Kalvetuva. If you don't provoke this illusory sea snake, there won't be much danger. At most, you will hear the roar, feel a swelling in your head, and feel like retching.

After a little searching, Odysseus discovered that the designer of this "composite" magic circle had anticipated this long ago, and that the corresponding location of the "central control magic circle" could not be found in the spiritual world at all.

And Kalvetuva's roar was so unpleasant that Odysseus returned to the real world, and at that moment he felt that gaze again.

However, this time Odysseus did not check it again. Instead, he took out spiritual materials and a pen and quickly drew a magic circle on the wall.

He wanted to use this magic circle to avoid the steps of the spell, and just by injecting spirituality he could open the mechanism on the wall.

After the magic circle was drawn, Odysseus slowly put on the "Hand of Judgment" and then put his other hand into the magic circle, as if to activate it.

At this moment, the spirit sent a warning of danger, and Odysseus turned around suddenly: "Exile!"

Behind him, a bolt of lightning struck down from the top of the ruins. Odysseus's "exile" caused the lightning to suddenly turn and strike towards the illusory space.

At this time, Odysseus saw that in the ruins behind him, there was a large electric eel with blue eyes, three or four meters long, swimming towards him rapidly.

It is not in the sea water, but it floats in the air, twisting its body as if it is swimming in the sea water.

And it is very fast, it can "swim" to Odysseus in the blink of an eye.

Just now, it confirmed that there was indeed a human in the air in front of it, and launched a sneak attack when he opened the magic circle.

Although Odysseus is always in an "invisible" state, he still makes some sounds and releases some smells.

The beast, being very sensitive to this, could easily find Odysseus.

Fortunately, Odysseus had already noticed it and put on the "Hand of Judgment" in advance to deal with the potential threat: "Imprisonment!"

The air around the electric eel suddenly became sticky, wrapping it up and "imprisoning" it in place.

Seeing this huge electric eel, Odysseus seriously doubted whether it was a relative of Kalvetua?

Then he thought: That’s not right. Ordinary electric eels are freshwater fish, and “Poseidon” is a sea snake, and their genes are quite different.

But this was not the time to think about this. Odysseus immediately threw out a scroll: "Open."

The scroll shattered, emitting an ochre-colored light. The surrounding ground surged, and suddenly stone spikes shot out, stabbing at the "imprisoned" electric eel.

However, the skin of this electric eel is very tough and smooth, and most of the spikes failed to penetrate it. Only three spikes pierced the electric eel. The pain made it open its mouth and let out a roar like a beast.

Odysseus, who was about to use the "Speed Scroll" on himself, realized this was an opportunity and quickly threw an "Explosion Scroll" into its mouth.

Gudong~
The electric eel swallowed it instinctively, and at this time it finally broke free from its "captivity" and pulled its body out of the large stone spikes.

But at this time it discovered that the human being had actually run out of the ruins very quickly and hid behind a seemingly solid stone wall.

The electric eel released a ball of lightning and was about to use it to track the human.

bang~
There was a muffled sound, as if some sound was muffled by the quilt.

The electric eel was instantly blown into two pieces, and most of its abdomen was blown into minced meat.

At this moment, Odysseus came out from behind the wall: "Death!"

He rushed over and punched the electric eel on the head. A big dent suddenly appeared on its head and both eyeballs were squeezed out.

The remaining, relatively intact part of the electric eel's body began to twitch violently, but with its remaining will, it opened its mouth and bit the human not far away.

Odysseus quickly dodged backwards, ready to give the electric eel the final blow.

slap~
The ball lightning created by the electric eel just now exploded after losing control, and electric arcs instantly filled the entire room.

Odysseus hurriedly used a "defense scroll" and a layer of "mage shield" appeared around him, a thick hard plastic-like structure that blocked most of the flashing electric arcs.

But some electric arcs still pierced Odysseus' body, making him feel numb all over. He felt that his hands could not hold the scroll, and his tongue seemed to be out of control.

The electric arc disappeared after two or three seconds, but it took Odysseus several seconds before the numbness no longer affected his movements.

At this time, the head section of the electric eel had not yet completely died, and the position of Odysseus was determined by using the moment of releasing the electric arc.

When it determined its position, the half-meter-long section of its head suddenly bit forward, biting the protection created by the thick "defense scroll".

The "magic shield"-like structure broke with a sound. As Odysseus quickly retreated, he threw a "thorn scroll" he invented into the electric eel's mouth, which had not yet closed.

The next second, dozens of hard wooden thorns as long as javelins pierced out from the inside of the electric eel, turning it into a round hedgehog.

Several of the thorns pierced its brain, and after a few random arcs of electricity, the electric eel died, leaving only its broken body twitching continuously. Soon, Odysseus noticed that among the eel's body and flesh, there were tiny points of light emanating and converging in one direction.

During the battle just now, Odysseus guessed that this must be an extraordinary creature.

He waited patiently for a while, and the light spots formed a hollow small sphere composed of a network of arc-like lines.

Odysseus did not dare to take it with his hands, but put it into the "wilderness of knowledge" with his gloved hand.

Even through the "Hand of Judgment", Odysseus felt as if his palms were numbed by electricity.

After dealing with the electric eel, Odysseus rested for about ten seconds, put away the "Hand of Judgment", and counted his scrolls before coming to the magic circle he had just drawn and injecting spirituality into it.

Click~
With a crisp sound, a door opened in the stone wall, revealing a dark room covered with magic circles.

In the very center of the dark room, there is a hexagonal crystal emitting a faint light. It is currently suspended in mid-air, slowly rotating.

Odysseus took a deep breath and entered the dark room cautiously. After making sure there was no danger, Odysseus immediately looked at the magic circles.

While watching, he took notes quickly.

After watching for a while, Odysseus sighed: "The person who designed this magic circle is a genius!"

In addition to the ability to isolate seawater, this magic circle also has a "spiritual world fusion magic circle", "oxygen production magic circle", "lighting magic circle" and so on.

This made Odysseus realize that the ruins occupied by Kalvetuwa were all within the coverage of the magic circle a long, long time ago. It was a huge underwater city!

I think this relic was already on the seabed before the Quaternary Period. It was not because of the fall of the "King of Hell" that this relic sank into the sea.

If these speculations are true, then this must have been an important city of the elves back then, otherwise they would not have gone to so much trouble to lay such a magic circle on the seabed.

However, as time goes by, it is also possible that this magic circle has suffered some damage and can only cover a very small area now.

Large areas of ruins outside have been soaked by sea water and have become what they are today.

Soon, Odysseus had recorded more than ten pages in his notebook. This was the most complex and sophisticated "composite magic array" he had ever seen. With Odysseus's current level, he was not sure he could design such a fully functional magic array.

After making careful notes, Oss went to observe the hexagonal crystal that was slowly rotating in the center of the room.

There are also many "ancient elven characters" on it, which looks like a complicated magic circle, but it is not.

Odysseus judged that it was actually something like an "intelligent processor". As long as some parts of the magic circle were damaged and could not be used, it would make certain judgments and actively shut down that part of the magic circle, and no longer supply spirituality to that location.

Taking another look at the magic circle, Odysseus sighed, "What a shame, I can't communicate with such a master."

He had just put away his notebook when he suddenly felt something change happen to the jade dagger in his backpack.

Odysseus opened his backpack and saw that the jade dagger had lost its translucency and had turned into something like a dull fish bone.

This also means that the characteristics of Kalvetuwa, that sequence 3 level characteristic, no longer has much to do with "Poseidon".

Odysseus left the secret room, closed the door, and then erased the magic circle he had just drawn on the wall.

All the "ancient elven characters" in the building were carved and then coated with a layer of special spiritual material.

However, the magic circle written by Odysseus just now can be easily erased. Without this magic circle, the people of the Storm Church will not be able to enter this secret room.

Of course, they didn't know the existence of such a dark room.

Seeing that the electric eel had stopped twitching, Odysseus collected some of its blood, internal organs, muscles and skin, which were all good spiritual materials.

Finally, Odysseus broke off a large piece of coral as a sample. It was the lighting equipment of this city, equivalent to a light bulb, and was of great research value.

Just as he was about to leave using the "Travel Ring", Odysseus glanced at the hall next door and suddenly felt that since he was already there, he had to go and take a look.

So he carefully came to the hall, which had obvious signs of destruction by the giant beast.

There were some murals on the wall, but now they are not clear.

At this moment, a wild beast-like roar came from the side hall next door, and Odysseus walked over cautiously.

In the corridor along the way, we also encountered some guards who looked like mummies. They had no signs of life at this time.

After passing through the corridor, Odysseus quietly glanced towards the side hall.

The first thing he saw was a giant sea snake with a body as big as a hill.

This huge sea snake, with a ferocious face, was biting a giant stone pillar in the side hall. It must have struggled violently in the last moment of its life.

Then, Odysseus saw an illusory figure floating in the air. He was wearing black armor, a crown on his head, and a cloak floating gracefully behind him.

He was as majestic as an emperor, so Odysseus didn't dare to look him in the eye.

Odysseus said with some envy: Klein's "transformation form" is quite handsome.

In addition, there was an old man in a clergyman's robe in the hall. He continuously released lightning and strong winds to attack Klein.

Furthermore, slippery tentacles stretched out from inside the robe, constantly attacking Klein, who was dressed as the "Black Emperor" in mid-air.

Next to Kalvetuwa's body, there was a row of people wearing clergy uniforms lying down. In front of them, Kalvetuwa's body had been torn apart and looked bloody.

These people of the Poseidon Cult had just devoured the corpse of the "Poseidon", but the extraordinary characteristics had not yet been released at that time. They could not withstand the impact of the characteristics and died there.

Odysseus noticed that the properties that had been "processed" by their bodies were already being released, and some were combining with certain objects on their bodies.

Obviously, those are all Beyonder characteristics and Seals!

But the battle in the room was so intense that Odysseus did not dare to go in to pick up the items.

He observed the battle situation for a moment, opened his briefcase, and took out an "Ice and Snow Scroll".

Then Odysseus quickly stepped forward and threw it towards the old man who was fighting fiercely with Klein: "Open!"

Squeak! Squeak!
As the teeth-grinding sound of freezing appeared, the many tentacles extending from under the old man's robe were frozen.

Klein took this opportunity to strike a sun-embracing gesture. A beam of light burning with golden flames shone on the old man, causing him to quickly disintegrate.

Klein looked at Odysseus deeply before flying towards Kalvetua's head, in front of the fang that held most of the light.

He endured great pain and touched the "long fang". After trying hard to pull it out, he quickly ended the summoning and disappeared in the hall.

All the oppressive feelings in the side hall quickly disappeared. Odysseus breathed a long sigh of relief and then entered the side hall to make sure that there were no living people or living sea snakes here.

After Klein finished summoning, he had to leave as soon as possible, otherwise he would not be able to withstand the negative effects of the seal in the outside world.

Therefore, Klein didn't have time to pick up the Beyonder Characteristics and Sealed Objects on the ground.

Of course, Odysseus would not miss such an opportunity, and he stuffed all three extraordinary characteristics and five seals into the "Wilderness of Knowledge".

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that behind the body of the "Poseidon" there were some relatively well-preserved murals and "ancient elven texts".

Odysseus walked around the hill-like corpse of the sea snake, and found a door behind the corpse, where there was a not very long corridor.

There was a passage of "ancient elven text" outside the corridor. Odysseus translated it and read it silently in his mind: When the whole world was against us, He helped us.

Odysseus was stunned. Who is "He"?
Then he entered a somewhat collapsed corridor and found several relatively intact murals inside. The first one was a man walking on the waves, braving the dark clouds and covered by a storm.

Seeing this, Odysseus's eyes narrowed. This man actually has an oriental charm!

Elf King!
Odysseus realized that this middle-aged man was the "Elf King" Soniatholem!
He looked at the man's image again. This was the first time he saw such a familiar image since he came to this world.

Continuing to look down, on the other side of the mural, there is a man in a white robe. The halo behind him is like the sun, the illusory circle divided into twelve grids, and the shadow like a curtain, all prove that this is the "ancient sun god."

Odysseus thought that this should be a war in which the "Ancient Sun God" was trying to take back the authority of the "Elf King".

He moved forward to look at the next mural, but after taking two steps, he suddenly realized something was wrong: After the "Elf King" was killed, the elves still had the mood to leave the murals?

At that time, the elves should have been hunted by the followers and believers of the "Ancient Sun God", right?
Thinking of the words on the door again, Odysseus guessed: Could it be that after the death of the "Elf King", a god helped the elves build a city under the sea?
Then he thought: The magic circle here not only isolates the seawater, forming a space on the seabed, but also has a certain fusion with the spirit world, which plays a very good concealing role! It is very likely to hide the elves in this city, so that they can avoid being killed by the "Ancient Sun God".

At this time, Odysseus discovered that the second mural was a scene of elves being brutally killed by humans. Some of them had their heads cut off and impaled on spears as if to show off, while others were imprisoned. The male elves were treated as slaves, and the female elves were used for human entertainment.

Odysseus did not comment on this in his heart, because in the Second Age, the elves were also very cruel to humans.

Odysseus has always been reluctant to comment on this historical issue.

Continuing to look down, Odysseus saw a second person with oriental charm in the mural.

He was floating in the air with his legs crossed, and there was an illusory light behind him, making him look a bit like the immortal in Odysseus's impression!

Odysseus was slightly taken aback. Was there more than one Easterner, Soniatholem, who came here back then? Or did someone from "homeland" come after the Elf King fell?

It’s a pity that this immortal-like figure has a rather vague face and his appearance cannot be seen clearly. He just gives people a kind and benevolent feeling.

He, or rather He, seemed to be saying something in front of a female elf.

The mural at the back depicts the elves building this city.

The four murals are connected together, meaning that the "Elf King" died in the battle with the "Ancient Sun God", and the elves were slaughtered by humans. The surviving elves, under the guidance of a god, built this city and temporarily hid their tracks.

This surprised Odysseus a little. He only remembered that this relic seemed to be related to the "Queen of Disaster" Cosinamu, but he didn't know too much detailed information.

As he walked through the corridor while thinking, Odysseus saw that there was another hall at the back, but this hall was badly collapsed.

After passing through the collapsed area, Odysseus saw a throne with a coral backrest inside the hall.

Odysseus noticed that there was only one throne!
This once again shows that the "Elf King" had fallen at that time, otherwise there should be two thrones, one belonging to the "Elf King" and the other belonging to Queen Cosinamu.

That is to say, after the fall of the "Elf King", Cosinamu gathered many elves in this city and lived here for a long time.

Later, for some unknown reason, the "Ancient Sun God" discovered this place, or perhaps a certain "Angel King" discovered for some reason that elves often appeared in this sea area, so he launched an attack.

However, the main battlefield should not be here, otherwise the magic circle here would have been completely destroyed long ago.

And it is very likely that the elves took the initiative to fight and were not discovered here.

Otherwise, the subordinates of the "Ancient Sun God" would not have let go of the extraordinary characteristics that Kalvetuwa had swallowed here.

Thinking of this, Odysseus looked at the throne again, returned to the hall, collected some scales from Kalvetua, and left here with the "Travel Ring".

……

At this moment in Sefirah Castle, Klein used the power of the gray fog to learn about the characteristics of the Sea God, the abilities of the seal formed, and its negative effects. While delighted, he also realized: What I just saw was the Hermit?
Klein couldn't help but wonder: Why does he always get involved in events with huge impacts?

The "Hermit" first set a fire not far from the Sodlak Palace. Later, the "Hermit" was there when the Evil God of the Starry Sky was sealed and was involved in the action to stop the "Witch Sect" and the Aurora Society.

Recently, I encountered the "Hermit" in Bansi Port, and then I encountered the "Hermit" again in the ruins of the elves where Kalvetuwa was hiding.

Why do strange things happen wherever he goes?

Then Klein recalled his previous speculations about the Hermit: The friend he was looking for in Bansy Harbor was clearly a demigod! A Sequence 6… no, at Sequence 7, or even at a "lower sequence," becoming friends with a demigod was quite unusual…

Thinking of this, Klein suddenly thought of Mr. Azik: Uh... "Low-Sequence" being friends with a demigod doesn't seem too unacceptable.
