Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 258 Abraham Family Relics
With the help of the "Speed Scroll", Odysseus ran faster than the floating evil spirits.

As he ran up, he shouted, "Everyone, come on deck!"

This time when he passed the restaurant, all the mummies there sat up straight and watched Odysseus run past them.

It seemed that while having dinner, there was a group of people watching the fun.

After shouting for the second time, Odysseus had already run onto the deck and used the second "Defense Scroll".

At this time, a cold wind blew on the ship, and a chilling chill spread.

The evil spirits behind caught up.

Odysseus threw out a "Scroll of the Burning Sun" to make the evil spirits retreat temporarily. He then took out spiritual materials and quickly began to draw a magic circle on the deck.

At this time, Bazel and others who heard Odysseus's order just now came to the deck.

Yi Laizhe also noticed the evil spirit on the deck, flying over from mid-air.

The mummy in the captain's room also came out and stood there quietly, as if watching the fun.

Odysseus threw out another "Sun Scroll": "Help me hold on for half a minute!"

The bright light that had been fading just now became stronger again, and the evil spirits that were about to counterattack retreated again.

Bazel kicked a broken piece of deck towards the evil spirit and took the opportunity to use the abilities of "bribe" and "weaken".

The evil spirits became weak and hid in the corners, waiting for the effect of the "Sun Scroll" to end.

At this time, small cylinders suddenly grew out on the deck around Odysseus. When the cylinders opened, "black anemones" grabbed towards Odysseus under the "scorching sun".

Call ~
Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the "wind blade" hidden in the wind cut the black anemones in half one by one.

With the protection of Bazel and Yilezhe, Odysseus can concentrate on drawing the magic circle.

Just when the drawing was half done, a big crack suddenly appeared on the deck, forming a huge hole that went straight to the bottom layer.

Through this big hole, Odysseus and others saw a spirit emitting a pale white light sitting in the room at the bottom of the ship.

It looks calm and elegant, not like an evil spirit, but more like a gentleman enjoying afternoon tea.

When the other party looked up, Odysseus and others immediately felt a majesty that they dared not look directly at.

Gudong~
Fili and Renata knelt on the deck first. Bazel and Yilaize did not dare to look at each other directly. They lowered their heads and retreated respectfully like servants.

Odysseus did not resist this force head-on. He knelt on the ground and continued to draw the magic circle with his eyes closed.

For him, the magic circle can really be drawn with his eyes closed.

What he didn't expect was that there was such a special spirit under the bottom of the ship.

At the same time, the "Mummy Captain" and the mummies in the restaurant came to the deck one after another as if they had received some orders.

"Captain Mummy" raised his hand towards Odysseus, and two whips stretched out from the illusory space behind Odysseus and began to whip the "defense shield".

These mummies, which still had a certain degree of intelligence, were actually "Extraordinary Beings", or they were Extraordinary Beings in their lifetime. They used abilities such as "Spirit Whip", "Language of the Dead", "Bribery", and "Fireball" towards Odysseus.

Odysseus used two "defense scrolls" in succession and finally blocked this round of attack.

At the same time, the magic circle in front of him had been drawn to the last part. Under tremendous mental pressure, Odysseus threw an "explosive scroll" towards the hole on the deck and the "Mummy Captain" and others.

The scroll thrown into the cave entrance suddenly emitted a pale white light, and that special spirit made all the spirituality contained in the scroll disappear instantly.

puff~
The scroll shattered, creating an explosion slightly more powerful than a fart.

Boom~
Another scroll exploded in mid-air above Captain Mummy and the others. It wasn't because Odysseus threw it high enough, but because Captain Mummy had "exiled" the scroll there.

But it seriously misjudged the power of the scroll, and even in mid-air, it blew off the mast. The heat wave swept across the deck, setting the clothes of the mummies on fire.

Only the area around Odysseus, protected by the "Defense Scroll", was not affected by the heat wave.

Taking advantage of this obstruction, Odysseus finally finished drawing the magic circle.

"Come behind me! Crawl over here even if you have to!" Odysseus said the last sentence to Fili and Renata who were kneeling on the ground like quails.

Because at this moment, he couldn't care less about these two ladies.

Under the pressure of the special spirit at the bottom of the ship, Odysseus struggled to get up and injected his spirituality into the magic circle.

The magic circle immediately emitted a pale white light, forming an illusory "shield".

Odysseus breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure coming from the bottom of the ship suddenly decreased. This "shield" was the protection provided by the magic circle.

At this time, he finally dared to look directly at the special spirit, so he glanced at the bottom of the ship and found that the other party was wearing asymmetrical clothing from the Fourth Epoch.

Moreover, Odysseus noticed that the style of the clothing was so asymmetrical that half of it was the style of the northern continent and the other half was the style of the southern continent.

This type of clothing was not common in the Quaternary period. Asymmetrical clothing of that era generally had asymmetry in patterns, colors, and materials, and this type of asymmetry in style was rare.

But now is not the time to study this, Odysseus quickly took out a bottle of spiritual essential oil, placed it outside the shield, and said in giant language: "I, summon in my name.

“Lord of the underworld somewhere, the great Samanthael, please descend into the circle of this magic array under the guidance of the seven-pointed star and look upon the one who summoned you.

"Please enjoy the offerings I offer you and obey my commands."

Call ~
A cold wind blew on the deck, and a black mist appeared inside the summoning circle. There were two red eyes on the top of the mist, staring at Odysseus.

At the same time, gray mist covered the glass bottle containing the essential oil, collecting the offering provided by Odysseus.

This Samansel is one of Odysseus's biggest trump cards. It likes the sacrifices provided by Odysseus very much, so it basically appears every time Odysseus summons it.

Previously, Odysseus needed the assistance of some powder to complete the summoning process. Now that he has been promoted to Sequence 6, he no longer needs those auxiliary materials to complete the summoning.

Because there was already a cold wind on the ship, the cold feeling after Samantha's arrival was not so obvious.

Basel and others hid behind Odysseus, surprised by the scene before them. Of course, their spiritual sense could sense that Samansel's level was not low.

I didn’t expect that the captain could summon helpers of this level!

Before Odysseus gave the order, Samanthael's two red eyes looked at the bottom of the ship.

The special spirit opened its mouth and said in a somewhat disembodied voice, "Samanthal Tudor."

Odysseus was stunned. He didn't expect that they were acquaintances.

What was even more unexpected was that the name of this black fog was actually Tudor!
But at this moment he was the summoner and could not show any lack of confidence.

He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Great Samanthael, please bring the spirits on this ship back to the spirit world and destroy the underlying rules of this ghost ship."

The special spirit sitting on the bottom floor immediately waved his hand, and the hole in the deck disappeared instantly.

Samansel's misty body suddenly became round, forming a huge, hollow mist ring.

The inside of the foggy ring immediately became illusory and began to twist, as if it had turned into a spiritual vortex.

This vortex did not cause any changes in the real world, but it produced a huge suction force for those spirits. Amidst the shrill screams, the evil spirits that had just been "wandering" at the bottom and chasing Odysseus were sucked into the "spiritual vortex" one by one.

Many evil spirits tried hard to grab something, but after waving their hands for a long time, they couldn't catch anything.

An illusory spirit also floated out of the bodies of the "Mummy Captains" and flew into the "spiritual vortex". These mummies immediately fell to the deck and did not move.

Then, Samansel, who was in the state of a fog ring, returned to the state of a ball of fog and went into the deck.

Six or seven seconds later, the ship seemed to have suddenly changed. Odysseus and others couldn't describe the change, but they knew very well that the state of the ship was different from before.

After another two or three seconds, a cloud of mist-like Samantha returned to the deck and said in a faint voice, "He's from the 'Trunsoste Empire'. I can't kill him.

"But this ship can't pose any harm to you for now."

Odysseus was slightly stunned. After summoning it so many times, he finally knew that Samanthael could speak.

He quickly calmed down, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Who is he?"

Samantha didn't answer, but he didn't mean to leave either.

Odysseus immediately understood what the other party meant and placed the last bottle of spiritual essential oil he carried with him outside the "shield" formed by the magic circle.

Gray mist covered the essential oil, and then Samencel said in an illusory voice, "Collier Trunsoest.

"But that's not his true self."

Odysseus was stunned, which made him realize that the situation of the ship was more complicated than he had imagined, and it was not just as simple as the ship being alive.

Samanthal said, "This ship has been affected in some way. It has become an environment where Collier has been present for a long time. Without prior preparation, I cannot destroy that environment, and thus cannot completely destroy the most basic rules of this ship."

Odysseus said: "It doesn't matter, as long as we have a chance to escape."

It would be troublesome if this guy refused to leave the real world because he failed to achieve his goal.

Odysseus once again solemnly addressed the black fog, "Great Samanthael, thank you for your help. Let us live in peace and help each other. I will give you the sacrifice, and you will obey my command.

"Now please leave the real world and this circle with the seven-pointed star."

Samantha left.

Call ~
The warm sea breeze blew away the cold feeling on the boat.

Odysseus glanced at Captain Mummy and the others. These mummies did not show any signs of releasing any extraordinary characteristics. Either they did not have any characteristics in their bodies, or their condition was still very strange, so nothing was released.

But now is not the time to study this. Odysseus gave each of Basel and the other three a "flying scroll". Yi Laizhe could fly, so he saved a scroll.

Several people left the ghost ship from the air. As soon as they left the ship, a thick fog appeared around them, and the ghost ship disappeared in the fog.

Soon the fog disappeared, the sea surface returned to normal, and the starry sky in the sky was revealed.

It was as if the strange ghost ship had never appeared.

On the ghost ship in the fog, the "Mummy Captain" and those mummies with extraordinary abilities stood up slowly and strolled to the outside of a room on the lowest level.

In the room where Fili and Renata had been hiding, the hanged mummy raised his hands and untied himself from the rope, and the three mummies in the corner also slowly stood up.

The mummies hiding in other rooms also came out and came to the outside of the room on the bottom floor.

The door opened, and the spirit that Samanthal called Collier Trunsoest said weakly, "You continue to operate this ship."

His spirit was much dimmer than before, but the pressure he emanated still made Captain Mummy and others lower their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.

Collier waved his hand and said, "Find a passenger ship as soon as possible. We need a large number of spirits now."

A large number of spirits are needed to keep the ship running.

"Captain Mummy" and the others retreated like servants and immediately returned to their posts, steering the ship whose masts had been blown off and sailing on the sea.

Collier, who was at the bottom of the cabin, stared at the wall in front of him in a daze: I will definitely find it, find the thing that is very important to His Majesty the Night Emperor.

……

Odysseus and others watched the ghost ship and the fog generated by the ship disappear quickly, and then they saw the light from the searchlight of the "Argo" in the distance.

But Rupert, the second mate who was on the ship at the time, found it difficult to find Odysseus and others on the vast ocean for a while.

Odysseus threw an "explosive scroll" into the air, and then led everyone to fly towards the ship.

Boom~
Suddenly, a huge explosion was heard on the sea, and the searchlight immediately shone in this direction.

Without the obstruction of the fog, Rupert quickly found Odysseus and others, and commanded the "Argo" to approach quickly.

Odysseus and others also flew over there, and finally, before the effect of the "Flying Scroll" ended, everyone stood on the deck one after another.

Rupert was relieved to see that Odysseus and the others had all returned with only minor injuries.

Back in the cockpit, Yi Laizhe first readjusted the course by observing the stars to avoid entering dangerous waters.

Then everyone drank tea and talked to each other, and only then did they know what happened after the others boarded the ship.

As Odysseus expected, after Fili and Renata arrived on the ship, they immediately used lighters to illuminate the area, so they saw the reminder on the wall.

Otherwise, they would be attacked by the mummies on the ship before they could be rescued by Odysseus. The two ladies were very scared, but after they came back and cried for a while, their emotions gradually calmed down.

After all, they grew up in port cities and have talked about their experiences at sea since childhood. If they know the difficulties and terrors of the sea and are still willing to come to the sea, it means that they are mentally prepared enough.

After Yi Laizhe boarded the ship, he was attacked by those "black anemones", so he broke into the cabin and escaped.

But no matter how he flew, he could not fly out of the control range of the ghost ship. Later, after discovering the evil spirit on the deck, he immediately joined the battle.

As for Basel, after getting on the ship, he accidentally stepped on a bone in the corridor and broke it, making a noise, so he was chased by those "monster mummies".

While running, he saw the trapped Ilezhe, and later escaped to the upper level and reunited with Odysseus.

After Odysseus was trapped, he pounded on the wooden door in an attempt to rescue them, but the pounding sound attracted those "monster mummies".

Bazel quickly took Fili and Renata to hide first, and after hearing the loud explosion outside and Odysseus's order, he followed the evil spirits to the deck.

Finally, it was Odysseus' turn. His experience was the most exciting, and he almost found out the reason why the ship became a ghost ship.

When everyone heard about his experience, they all sighed: Fortunately, the captain took the initiative to board the ship, otherwise they would never be able to find out the truth and would not be able to solve the current problems.

They found it difficult to even think of trying to communicate with the "Mummy Captain" using words.

When hearing the information about the "Trunsoest Empire", Bazel exclaimed: "That legendary ship actually exists!"

Odysseus nodded: "It seems so."

After all, Samanthael later confirmed the existence of this ship.

Then Odysseus asked the navigator trainee to bring the nautical chart and pointed to the eastern part of the Sea of Rage. "That's probably where they found the Empire."

Yi Laizhe took a look and said, "That is one of the most dangerous areas in the Raging Sea. I didn't expect the Empire to be hiding there."

Navigation cadet Ansiel said excitedly, "I heard that there are countless treasures on that ship..."

"I don't know if there are any treasures there," Odysseus said seriously, "but I know there must be a curse from the Fourth Epoch.

"No one can reveal this information. It's very likely that the Empire is using this method to send powerful pirate groups to their deaths."

For example, the ghost ship we just encountered, the captain is at least a Sequence 6, which means he is a "big pirate" in this ocean!
Judging from the fact that they could overcome the harsh environment of the raging sea, the pirate group was quite powerful. However, in the end, all the people on the ship died in the depths of the raging sea.

Everyone was stunned, obviously they hadn't thought of this just now.

At this time, Yi Laizhe pinched his beard and said, "Who was that person at the bottom of the cabin later? The state of this ship is too strange."

Odysseus did not answer this question, but he had some guesses: the ship should have been affected by the "King of the Underworld" Salinger, and Salinger even took the initiative to provide some help.

Because Odysseus felt that the situation on the "Trensost Empire" was a bit like a "ghost empire", and it seemed impossible to achieve such results by relying solely on the power of the "Judge" path.

Although this guess is very bold, Odysseus thinks about the history of the second half of the Quaternary Period and does not rule out the possibility that Trunsoest and Salinger are secretly collaborating.

After all, they all wanted to be like the old days, and after Solomon and Tudor died one after another, the main contradiction in the Northern Continent probably became the contradiction between Trunsost and the Six Gods.

But this is just a guess and there is no evidence, so Odysseus does not intend to announce these ideas to everyone.

The discussion of the ghost ship ended here. Odysseus said to Ansiel and another navigator trainee, "You two, one ignored the captain's orders, and the other questioned the captain, wantonly challenging the captain's authority."

The two students were slightly stunned. Although it was not their first time going out to sea, it was their first time encountering such a situation. So they were a little panicked at the time and made some actions that were disrespectful to Odysseus.

The young people who grew up in the port certainly knew the power and majesty of the captain on a ship, and they all looked at Yi Laizhe with pleading eyes.

Yi Laizhe said, "From the moment I board this ship, I will obey the captain's orders unconditionally."

He felt that it would be beneficial for these young people to know the rules of the sea as early as possible.

Odysseus said to his first mate, Basil: "Give them both ten lashes each as a warning."

Bazel nodded and asked the two students, "Would you two like to lie on the mast by yourselves, or should I have someone escort you there?"

The two cadets had sad faces, took off their shirts and leaned on the mast.

Soon their cries of pain were heard outside.

After the punishment was over, Odysseus asked Rupert to keep watch while everyone else went back to rest.

He stayed in the cockpit for more than an hour, and after making sure there was no problem, he went back to rest.

Lying on the bed, Odysseus reviewed his experience on the ghost ship just now. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the "Trensest Empire" was not just a simple ghost ship.

There may be some arrangements made by the "Night Emperor".

As he thought about it, the somewhat tired Odysseus fell into a deep sleep accompanied by the sound of waves.

He woke up around nine o'clock the next day, and the navigation trainee had already prepared breakfast for him.

After eating, Odysseus asked Fili and another male navigator apprentice, Arlin, who had not made any mistakes, to be on duty in the cockpit together.

With four groups of people on duty, Odysseus doesn't have to stay on the boat every day.

After announcing the news, Odysseus returned to his workshop and replenished some scrolls again.

Last night, his "Defense Scroll" and "Flying Scroll" were exhausted again, and he also used up his only two "Soul-Breaking Scrolls" for attacking spirits.

At this time, Odysseus suddenly realized that he had too few ways to deal with attacks from spiritual creatures and spirits.

But as for inventing some new scrolls, he had no idea for the moment.

After thinking for a while, Odysseus thought of the scene on the ghost ship yesterday, and felt that studying the "dust of evil spirits" obtained from there might give him some good ideas.

Odysseus was about to enter the "Wilderness of Knowledge" to carry out research when he suddenly thought of another thing: the suspected Quaternary ruins that he had obtained at the intelligence exchange meeting had not been explored yet.

I have some time today, so I can go there and explore.

If you encounter any problems, you can discuss them with other members in the afternoon Tarot meeting.

So Odysseus called Basil and Rupert and told them that he was going away.

Both of them knew that Odysseus had a magical item with the ability to "travel", so they didn't find it strange.

After Bazel and Rupert left, Odysseus checked his scroll again, then used the "Travel Ring" to enter the spirit world. Under the guidance of the spirit, he came to the island shown in the intelligence.

The island is located in the tropics and is completely covered with forests and vegetation.

Odysseus simply used the "flying scroll" he had just replenished and flew at low altitude to search.

According to the information provided by the red-haired man, the island is not large, there are no large animals, and no one lives on the island, so he can fly and search with confidence.

After flying for a while, Odysseus first found the wall built in front of the cliff.

The wall was about seven or eight meters high and looked very thick.

Apparently, the vegetation around this wall had been trimmed some time ago, but in the hot and humid climate, the vines had once again covered large sections of the wall.

Before long, the wall may be difficult to notice even at low altitudes.

Odysseus landed in front of the wall and first saw a text written in ancient giant language in the upper left corner.

Unfortunately, it was not a magic circle, but just a description. The general meaning when translated was: This is the common asset of Abraham's family and the wise men.

Odysseus was stunned: It’s just a wall, is it necessary to indicate who the owner is?

He smiled, and was certain that this was not an ordinary wall, but was related to the Abraham family.

but……

Odysseus read the ancient giant text again: Who are the "Wise Ones"? The "Hidden Wise Ones"? I haven't heard of any cooperation between the Abraham family and the "Hidden Wise Ones"!
He thought about it and estimated that it might be the "Hidden Sage". Otherwise, he couldn't think of another existence that could be compared with the Abraham family.

Odysseus did not rush to explore the wall, but walked around it. First, he saw a wooden stick stuck there, a small area burned by fire, and some soil blackened by smoke.

This is what the intelligence mentioned. There is an area where the vegetation will suddenly disappear. The marks made by the previous group of explorers were repeatedly burned there with fire.

In tropical regions, when all vegetation on the ground is burned and its roots are roasted to death, it will take one or two months for the ground to be "heated through" before it is covered by vegetation again. Such marks can exist for a longer time.

Odysseus did not go near to explore, because his spirit could not sense any clues.

He slowly came to the collapsed buildings not far from the high wall, where he could still see traces of people having been stationed. Perhaps the previous group of explorers had set up camp here.

The area of this ruins is not small, but it is obvious that more than one wave of explorers have come here. Even if there are any valuable things, they have been moved away long ago.

There were even some dug pits, many of which contained underground secret rooms.

Apparently, among the previous explorers, there were professionals who knew which buildings in the Quaternary period contained secret rooms.

Odysseus wandered around there and only found a few marks of Abraham's family, but no other clues.

Finally, Odysseus set his sights on the wall on the other side of the cliff.

When he came to the wall, Odysseus first saw a big hole in the ground, which was probably the trace of explosives used by previous explorers.

Odysseus reached out and touched the wall, feeling a faint spiritual fluctuation. It was obvious that this wall had an extraordinary mechanism.

But Odysseus had no clue how to open it.

Finally, he took another look at the ancient giant text: Maybe "Abraham" is the key!

Odysseus took off the "travel ring" on his hand, pressed it against the wall, and immediately felt the spiritual fluctuations in the wall.

But there was only a fluctuation, no other reaction.

Odysseus took back the "Travel Ring" and entered the spirit world. He found that even in the spirit world, there was a wall in front of him and he could not see the scene behind the wall.

He moved behind the wall and looked, but there was nothing.

The spatial structure of the spiritual world is different from that of the real world. If your vision is blocked by an ordinary wall in the real world, your vision will not be blocked by the wall in the spiritual world.

Because in the spiritual world, there are not only length, width and height, but you can also see things behind the wall from other angles. So if your vision is blocked in the real world, it will not be blocked in the spiritual world.

In front of Odysseus, there was also a wall in the spiritual world that blocked his view, and after coming behind the wall, he could only see this wall.

This does not mean that there is nothing behind this wall, but that this wall can block vision even in the spiritual world, and you cannot see what is behind the wall.

Odysseus observed his surroundings and returned to the real world after confirming that there were no clues.

It was obvious that this wall was a carefully designed product, which made Odysseus realize that the specifications of this wall were very high.

However, considering the "apprenticeship" approach mastered by the Abraham family and the operations that can be performed in space, this does not seem surprising.

Odysseus looked at the scene in front of him and pondered for a while, then crossed his arms and smiled helplessly, thinking that he might have just spent 15 pounds to buy a piece of useless information.

Obviously, the mechanism here can be cracked by finding a demigod "secret mage" with the "apprentice" path.

But where can I find the demigod of this path?
The Abraham family had long ceased to have demigods, but Odysseus knew that Aurora would have a demigod in the "apprentice" path.

But after bringing this cultist to this island, the first thing he might do is kill himself to silence him!
I could try asking Mr. Fool for help and see if he has any help...

Just when he thought of this, Odysseus suddenly realized something. He glanced at the text written by the ancient giant, and then looked at the ruins not far away: This is an asset!
He suddenly realized that his thinking was wrong. After learning about the special nature of this wall, the first thing he thought of was that this should be a "secret place" of the Abraham family used for sacrifices, sealing magical items, etc.

A "secret place" that only a few people can enter.

But just now, he suddenly thought that such a "secret place" would generally not be built near residential areas, but should be built in places with fewer people.

Moreover, the words on the wall clearly stated that this was an "asset" and was most likely a place where the Abraham family did some secret work.

The residential area is so large, which means that many people can enter. Perhaps anyone with the extraordinary ability to "open the door" can enter.

The embarrassing thing is that although "Travel" is a very advanced "door opening" skill, it is equivalent to opening an illusory door between the real world and the spiritual world.

But the bad thing is this "illusory" door. Like the wall in front of you, it is real and not illusory, so once you use "travel", you will enter the spiritual world!

The seal in Odysseus's hand does not have the most basic "door opening" ability of the "apprentice" path.

This made him plan to go to the Tarot Club and hire a "magician" to explore together.
