Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 268: Seizing a Warehouse Over a Thousand Years Old

This sweet and lovely "Witch of Joy" suddenly stopped laughing. She didn't expect that the other party's words, expressions, and body movements did not seem to be fake, but he was actually lying.

And Fors's action on Odysseus could only be described as amazing.

I was surprised at first: they really tricked out a "witch".

Then sigh: How come I didn’t think of this at all.

Odysseus did not act immediately, but asked: "What is your purpose in exploring this ruin?"

This is also the reason why he did not deliberately hide Fors's whereabouts, just to attract a "witch".

At the same time, he extinguished the fire at the door. After all, this was an enclosed space, and if the fire burned, a lot of oxygen would be wasted.

The sweet and lovely "Witch of Joy" smiled again, but her smile was a little cold. There was an "Ice Crystal Spear" in her hand, flying towards Odysseus.

Odysseus used a "Defense Scroll" and when the opponent was about to "go invisible", he raised the "Hand of Judgment": "Imprison!"

The air around the "Pleasure Witch" suddenly became sticky, trapping her in place.

"Death!" Odysseus rushed forward, swung his black-gloved hand, and knocked the beautiful "Witch of Pleasure" away.

To be on the safe side, he used "Death" first, because the target locked on this attack could not dodge.

However, the moment he touched the "Witch of Pleasure", Odysseus trembled all over. Although there was a layer of gloves between him, he still felt the feeling of the last moment of "bed exercise".

This distracted Odysseus for a moment and he was unable to complete the next combo.

Hit by "Death", the seriously injured "Witch of Pleasure" immediately used the ability of "Mirror Stand".

As a mirror shattered, the sweet and lovely "Witch of Joy" appeared not far away, and her serious injuries had turned into minor injuries.

"Hehe." The "Witch of Pleasure" laughed at Odysseus, making Odysseus' heart feel like it was tickled by something and became restless again. Then his crotch became engorged with blood and his whole body flushed. He tried hard to restrain himself from making any indecent sounds or doing any indecent actions.

Even Fors, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, was attracted by the "Witch of Joy". She felt that she was really cute and charming, and wanted to get close to her.

The "Witch of Joy" did not take the opportunity to attack Odysseus, but hurriedly looked for the door switch at the place where she had just entered.

She knew very well that the man in front of her had killed a "recorder" in just a few seconds. Of course, it was not because he was lucky, but because he was really strong.

The ability of "joy" can only distract the opponent temporarily, but you still can't defeat him.

The reason why she had the courage to follow in just now was first of all because she was confident in her "invisibility" ability. Before she took the initiative to attack, the extraordinary people of the same sequence would hardly notice her.

Secondly, she had also seen some extraordinary mechanisms, and she knew very well that she would know how to operate these mechanisms just by watching others open them once.

Generally speaking, her idea was correct, and Odysseus did not notice her, but not noticing her did not mean that she could not trick him.

Moreover, the "Witch of Joy" obviously overlooked one thing. This was a mechanism from the Quaternary period, and it was written entirely in "Ancient Giant" characters, which was somewhat different from modern extraordinary mechanisms. Therefore, she couldn't open the door for a while.

Odysseus took a deep breath and then crushed a scroll.

Call ~
A hurricane blew past, knocking the three people in the warehouse to the ground.

Odysseus calmed down a lot when he was blown by the cool breeze. At this time, the "Witch of Joy" had not yet found the switch of the door.

Then Odysseus threw out an "Ice and Snow Scroll", but at the moment the scroll exploded, the "Witch of Joy" raised her hand and controlled the frost that was originally attacking her to cover the ground.

But then Odysseus rushed over and came close. He felt something entangled around him, and then these tiny threads tightened, like a layer of iron wire blocking in front of him.

However, due to the time constraints, the number of these "spider silks" was obviously too small and did not stop Odysseus's progress. He still threw out a scroll and knocked the "Witch of Joy" away with the hand wearing the "Harvesting Gloves".

The "Witch of Joy" who was already injured was suddenly fatally injured, but she immediately used the ability of "mirror substitute". Although the other mirror on her body was shattered, her fatal injury immediately turned into a serious injury.

But at this moment, the scroll that Odysseus had thrown out before exploded, and black iron-colored javelins flew towards the "Witch of Joy", and pierced into her body almost at the moment when she used up her stand ability.

After a few "puff" sounds of sharp weapons piercing muscles, the sweet and lovely "Witch of Joy"'s petite body was pierced by thick spears.

This time, she didn't have time to use her "stand-in" ability. She opened her eyes and felt her life quickly slipping away, and eventually disappearing.

Because of the support of those javelins, the "Witch of Joy" of death did not fall down immediately.

Odysseus looked at the beautiful face and said, "What a pity."

Fors also said, "Yeah, what a pity."

Then the two men realized that they seemed to have spoken out of turn. One coughed to cover it up, and the other turned his head away.

"Let's go and see what those supplies are." Odysseus then changed the subject.

Fors quickly said, "Okay, okay."

Led by Odysseus, they first took a look at the supplies placed around.

Most of these supplies are in huge rough wooden boxes, which are neatly placed there. Obviously, there are strict requirements for the placement of goods in this warehouse.

Some of the wooden boxes had some paper pasted on them, and some of the words on them were still clearly visible, probably the information of the shipper and the consignee.

Odysseus opened several wooden boxes, but unfortunately, the contents of these boxes were basically rotten.

Some of them contained large amounts of spiritual materials, but after more than a thousand years, the spirituality had long since been lost, and the tissues of some extraordinary creatures had long since decayed to the point that only residues remained.

And more of the supplies had decayed to the point that Odysseus could not recognize what they were.

There are only three types of supplies that can be used: one is dozens of bags of ore piled together, and the other is dozens of logs piled together.

Odysseus looked at the logs. More than a thousand years had passed without causing them to rot. They were still intact, and even the places where they were cut still looked moist.

This kind of wood is called the "Healing Tree" or the "Miracle Tree". Living in a wooden house made of this wood can cure almost all chronic diseases, and can even treat physical changes caused by "precursors of loss of control" to a limited extent.

Even people without any diseases can be healthy and live a long life if they live in it, so it is also called the "Miracle Tree".

Odysseus carefully examined those minerals and found the corresponding knowledge in his mind.

This mineral is called "Sharp Blade" and has no extraordinary effects, but if a thin layer is covered on the blade, it can make an ordinary knife extremely sharp and can easily cut and pierce the enemy's weapons and armor.

Some people even use it to make bullet heads, which are extremely lethal.

Odysseus sighed, "Both of these are good things, but unfortunately they are not very useful."

Neither of them had any chronic illness and rarely used cold weapons or pistols, so it was of no use to them.

However, Odysseus adhered to the idea that a thief never leaves empty-handed... and that supplies should not be left to the enemy, so he put all these things into the "Wilderness of Knowledge".

The third useful supply is an inconspicuous small wooden box placed in the corner.

When I opened it, it turned out to be a box of gold!

It is estimated that these gold bars are worth several thousand pounds!

Odysseus and Fors both took a deep breath and felt the colors around the wooden box change.

The two men looked at each other, and Odysseus said, "It's inconvenient to carry it with me, so I'll put it away first and divide it up when we get out."

Fors had no objection: "Okay."

Then, the two of them looked at the small wooden box on the stone platform.

Generally speaking, such exquisite things should be worth more.

Odysseus opened the first wooden box, which was filled with "Star Crystals", a "low-sequence" extraordinary material that can be used in many sequences such as "Fortune Teller".

Odysseus estimated that it weighed at least 500 to 600 grams and was worth more than 2,000 pounds.

For Odysseus, these "star crystals" are more useful. They can instill some knowledge and be used in the "helmet of wisdom".

In the second wooden box was a necklace inlaid with a huge gem. It was a rose-red gem, surrounded by small gems of the same color.

Faces seemed to form within the rose-colored gemstone and then quickly vanish.

Odysseus touched it with his hand, and as expected, it was a sealed object, corresponding to the Sequence 6 "Faceless Man" of the "Fortune Teller" path.

I took a quick look at it and quickly put it away.

The third wooden box was a bit larger, with three layers of light blue crystal bottles neatly arranged inside. Odysseus opened one of them and immediately realized what it was: the special ink used to write magic circles, the same kind used in the ruins of the elves.

The process of making this ink has long been lost. Although Odysseus scraped off a lot of residues, it is difficult to study what materials it was made of because of the long time.

Each exquisite crystal ink bottle is engraved with a small magic circle, which has been replenishing the spirituality of the ink. After more than a thousand years, they are still usable.

With only three bottles like this, Odysseus can complete the "research-imitation" process. In the future, places where magic circles need to be used for a long time can be written with such potions.

When maintaining the magic circle, most of the steps can be omitted.

Odysseus rubbed his hands and walked towards the fourth and final box, feeling a bit like opening a blind box.

When he opened the fourth box, there was an irregular black iron stone inside. After seeing it, Odysseus suddenly felt that it seemed to have a certain connection with his gloves.

Odysseus felt that this thing should be quite advanced, but he didn't know what it was exactly.

Never mind, just put it into the "wilderness of knowledge"!
Odysseus suddenly had an illusion that the piece of cloth with the "Space Array" sub-array painted on it had become heavy.

This round of exploration yielded a lot of gains. Odysseus decided to try to leave here after he went out. The man in a strange state under the pile of skeletons in the hall gave Odysseus a bad premonition.

At this time, the extraordinary characteristics of the "Witch of Joy" have been revealed. It is an illusory, tangled thing like a ball of thread.

This "ball of thread" is floating in front of the chest of the "Witch of Joy".

Odysseus stepped forward and was about to put this feature into the "Wild Knowledge" when suddenly the "Witch of Joy" raised her hand to block Odysseus's outstretched hand.

Odysseus jumped back suddenly, and Fors was also stunned.

At this time, the "Witch of Joy" was still pierced by several thick black iron spears. Because of the support of two of the spears, she stood there in a slightly forward, rather abnormal posture.

Although she didn't fall down, she was already deader than dead.

At this moment, her two hands were grabbing the javelin, as if trying to pull it out of her body.

This was very strange. In an ancient ruin, the originally dead "witch" suddenly moved again. If Odysseus had not been there, Fors would have screamed in fear.

Odysseus was a little puzzled. He remembered that the "witch" had a similar ability to resurrect, but that should have been at Sequence 3, and the "witch" before him was only Sequence 6...

Odysseus quickly calmed himself down, and then he realized that he had just scared himself.

The "Witch of Joy" did not resurrect, but turned into a zombie.

So Odysseus took out another "Soul-Breaking Scroll", and the scroll exploded. The spiritual light swept across the body of the "Witch of Joy", and her two hands suddenly drooped down, motionless.

In addition to being able to crush some ghosts, the "Soul Crushing Scroll" can also attack zombies, causing them to lose all ability to move.

This time, when Odysseus tried to obtain the characteristics of the "Witch of Joy", he was not stopped at all.

Putting the characteristics into the "Wild Knowledge", Odysseus realized that some changes had quietly taken place in this warehouse, which could quickly turn corpses into zombies.

He guessed that the man outside in the pile of skeletons might have undergone some changes.

"We have to get out as soon as possible." said Odysseus.

It would be bad if we got stuck in here with that guy.

Odysseus first went to turn off the "crystal chandelier" in the warehouse, and the two of them adapted to the dark environment.

Then Odysseus opened the door, and immediately heard shouting from outside. At this time, the lights outside were bright, and the members of the "Genius Society" were dealing with the overwhelming "Skeleton Warriors".

Although these "skeleton warriors" are numerous, they are not strong and can be dealt with by ordinary crew members and sailors. The members who originally went to explore the stone chamber next door also rushed back to support.

So even though the hall was full of "Skeleton Warriors", they were never able to break through the defense line of the "Spiritual Society".

After using the "Invisibility Scroll" again, Odysseus came outside the door and carefully observed the situation in the hall.

He noticed that the skeleton that originally covered the man in a strange state had already attacked the members of the "Genius Society", revealing the man in a strange state.

However, the man with feathers on his back still stood there motionless.

Odysseus breathed a sigh of relief, as long as this guy's condition didn't change significantly.

But then, Odysseus noticed that the "Witch of Pain" had disappeared.

He once again had a bad feeling.

While the situation was still under control, Odysseus quickly took Fors and walked out, avoiding those "skeleton warriors".

But after just a few steps, the tall wall facing the island opened again. The "Witch of Pain" came in and shouted, "Clean up these skeletons as soon as possible and prepare to welcome the 'Saint'!"

Odysseus' heart skipped a beat: "The Saint of the Witch Cult is coming? Aren't you from the Gnosis Society? Why are you calling the Saint of the Witch Cult here?"
Fors didn't know what "Saint" meant, but Odysseus knew very well that the "Saint" of the "Witch Sect" was at least Sequence 3!

In the presence of a saint, Odysseus and Fors had little hope of escape.

Odysseus stopped immediately. At their current speed, and having to avoid the "Witch of Pain", it would take at least ten minutes to reach the tall wall.

At that time, it is very likely that you will run into the "Saint" who is rushing over.

If I tell her that I am here to greet her, I wonder if she will believe me?

Odysseus clenched his fists. There was another way. He stopped hiding and rushed out immediately.

But they still have to bring Fors with them, otherwise they will easily be entangled by the "Witch of Pain", and then the "Saint" will come and kill them.

Suddenly, Odysseus looked at the huge stone door next door.

At this time, all the members of the "Spiritual Society" who went there to explore have rushed out and are organizing to eliminate the "Skeleton Warriors".

Odysseus suddenly had a bold idea: use the "teleportation array" to leave here!

Just now he realized that this relic had been closed for more than a thousand years, but breathing was still smooth and he could even feel fresh air occasionally.

This shows that the magic circle in this relic is still functioning normally, otherwise it would be impossible to breathe fresh air in a place between reality and the spiritual world.

Then the most important teleportation array here will most likely continue to operate.

Although he didn't know where the other side of the magic circle was, for Odysseus, it was better than confronting the demigod of the "Witch Cult" head-on.

After a moment's thought, Odysseus made up his mind. He first quietly came to the end of the right passage where they were and took a look. Just as the members of the "Spiritual Society" had just described, this place was severely damaged by some force, and the magic circle had long been unrecognizable.

So they turned back, and while the people of the "Gnosis Society" were fighting fiercely in the hall, Odysseus took Fors through another stone door and came to the corridor on the other side.

Although she hadn't communicated with Fors, she had no objections at this moment. She knew that following the Captain would definitely be safe.

In the corridor on the left, Odysseus also saw the warehouse sign. First, he understood that the "South" and "North" at the door referred to the South Continent and the North Continent.

In other words, the "teleportation array" on the side they are currently on leads to the southern continent, and the "teleportation array" on the side they just explored leads to the northern continent.

There is a warehouse in each of the north and south directions.

There should be a lot of good things in the warehouse over here, but now is not the time to be greedy. Taking advantage of the good opportunity that everyone's attention is on the hall, Odysseus and Fors quickly came to the stone chamber at the end of the corridor.

This stone chamber was also very spacious. There were three ordinary crew members guarding here with lanterns. However, they were gathered at the door at this time, looking at the battle situation outside, and occasionally discussing in a low voice.

They didn't notice at all that Odysseus and Fors, who were in invisible state, passed by them.

Odysseus did not take action immediately, but looked at the stone chamber carefully. First of all, it seemed that it had been destroyed by some force, and there were some collapsed places on the ground.

However, the structure here is still basically intact, unlike the stone chamber next door, which has been completely destroyed beyond recognition.

In addition, the invisible power that was previously in the hall also filled this stone chamber.

It's just that there are no "Skeleton Warriors" here, so these powers will hardly be noticed.

There was no magic circle on the ground, only a simple circle, and a small solid stone platform in the corner on one side.

Odysseus, who had successfully set up a complex magic circle on a large ship, immediately understood that the stone platform should be a place like an "operation panel".

He hurriedly took Fors over, but after seeing the stone platform clearly, Odysseus was somewhat disappointed because the magic circle on the stone platform was destroyed and there was no way to use it to open the magic circle.

But Odysseus was not without a solution. He looked around and immediately found the place on the wall where the dark room with the "teleportation array" could be opened.

The structure of this magic circle did not exceed Odysseus's knowledge, or it could be said that this was common sense: such a critical magic circle certainly could not be exposed to people like this, and it must be concealed.

Odysseus estimated that the real magic circle should be in the dark room directly below this stone chamber. Only through the correct method can one enter the dark room with the magic circle.

After seeing the magic circle, Odysseus was also able to activate the magic circle.

After searching around for a while, he found the location of the mechanism.

At this moment, the spirits of Odysseus and Fors both felt a huge pressure coming from the direction of the hall.

At the same time, the "Witch of Pain" was faintly heard saying, "Welcome the 'Saint'!"

Wow~
Something was scattered on the ground outside. After thinking about it for a while, Odysseus realized that it was the "Saint" who came and dealt with those "skeleton warriors". The "rustling" sound was the sound of bones falling to the ground.

Odysseus secretly said: "That was a close call!"

If they were to return the same way, they would definitely run into this "Saint Girl". In that case, both he and Fors would be dead by now.

Fortunately, they did not return the same way. At this time, Odysseus and Fors were in the stone chamber inside. Because of the obstruction of the stone wall, the "saint" could not see here.

As long as it is out of sight, even a Sequence 3 cannot sense Odysseus's presence.

However, this "Saint" would most likely sense Fors's location. However, at this time, the ruins were filled with crew members and sailors from the "Genius Society", and Fors was a "master of magic", so her presence would not attract any special attention from the other party.

At the entrance of the stone chamber, the three sailors holding lanterns were stunned. Odysseus even heard the sound of them swallowing saliva.

Obviously, they were captivated by the beauty of the "saint", but they did not dare to stare at her all the time. After looking at her for a few times, they quickly lowered their heads and looked at her quietly.

Odysseus cautiously walked towards the entrance to the extraordinary mechanism. At this moment, he heard a clear voice like a young girl outside, saying, "My friend, I didn't expect that after more than a thousand years, your condition is still so poor."

At this moment, Odysseus suddenly understood: The real purpose of the "Spiritual Society" is actually the man in the center of the hall with a very strange condition!
In other words, this should be the task that the "Witch Sect" gave to the "Spiritual Society". After the director of the "Spiritual Society" confirmed that the person they were looking for was in the hall, he went out and used the corresponding ceremony to notify the "Saint" of the "Witch Sect".

So the "Saint" came to this relic.

Although I don't know if the person in the hall is the lover of this "Saint" in the Fourth Epoch? Or does she have other purposes in looking for this guy?
What is certain is that the "Witch Cult" knows, or guesses, that this strangely conditioned man is here.

Perhaps it was for this reason that they ordered the Gnosis Society to study the documents stolen from Abraham's family and determine the location of this "extraordinary transit station" from the documents.

Otherwise, that batch of documents would have been in the hands of the "Spiritual Knowledge Society" for more than a thousand years. If they had been studied seriously before, it would not have been possible to find them here only now.

As Odysseus figured this out, he heard the "Saint Lady" order: "Hide in the corner, squat on the ground, and close your eyes."

Odysseus suddenly had a bad feeling, but fortunately, they had arrived in front of the mechanism of the dark room.

At this moment, a cold aura suddenly appeared in the center of the stone chamber, and an illusory door rose from the ground.

The "teleportation array" suddenly started up!

Odysseus was shocked. He was a little puzzled. The "control panel" was broken. How did this "saint" activate the magic circle?
Then he noticed that the illusory door became layered, as if something extremely terrifying was about to rush out from it.

Odysseus realized that the magic circle on the southern continent had been activated, and the person operating the magic circle over there was about to come over!

In the stone chamber, the flowing invisible force suddenly surged, as if resonating with the person who was approaching.

Odysseus's hand was already in position to open the secret door, injecting spirituality, and several "ancient giant characters" on the wall suddenly emitted a faint illusory light.

However, the secret door did not open.

Odysseus twitched his lips: Oh no, I still need a password.

But now it’s too late to draw the magic circle to change the password!

At this moment, a huge pressure came from the illusory door, and Odysseus knew that the "teleportation array" was about to be connected.

So he quickly pulled Fors down to squat down and whispered, "Don't open your eyes! No matter what you feel, don't open your eyes!"

The next second, something suddenly appeared behind the two people, and they couldn't tell what it was. They only felt fear, trembling, and the oppression of death.

Odysseus and Fors both trembled, as if the person behind them was the most evil spirit in the world, capable of causing the most horrific things to happen around them.

Especially when such a horrible thing is happening right behind you and you can't even look at it, it is the most unbearable thing.

"Ah...ah!"

At this time, one of the crew members who had been guarding the stone chamber shouted.

The first half was a cry of venting, but the second half was a scream.

He soon lost all life and was evidently dead.

The initial cry was made because the animal could not bear the pressure, but the consequence was death.

Odysseus squeezed Fors's shoulders with trembling hands, letting her know that he was by her side and that she should not do anything irrational out of fear.

At this moment, a muffled voice came from behind Odysseus: "What do you want from me?"

Odysseus breathed a sigh of relief: the "thing" that came was intelligent, and he knew the "saint".

With this result, he was completely relieved. Since he knew the "Saint", he would not kill the people around him indiscriminately. After all, they were all subordinates of the "Saint".

This guy definitely doesn't know that Odysseus and Fors are not subordinates of the "Saint", so as long as he doesn't do anything out of line, he won't die.

The Saint in the hall said, "Last week, Catalina met His Excellency the Archon of Death."

Odysseus was stunned, then immediately recalled: That was when Klein was a "cross-dressing boss" and he and Mr. Azik visited "Vice Admiral of Disease" Tracy. And this Katarina was Tracy's mother... no, maybe her father?

Odysseus couldn't remember whether it was his mother or his father.

Then he thought: Now it seems that after Katarina and Azik met, it caused a stir within the "Witch Cult"? Did it cause them to take some action?
A muffled voice followed, its tone a little excited: "Your Excellency, the Archon, is still alive? No, it should be said that he has not fallen yet."

As the other party's attention shifted to the "Saint" outside, the spiritual pressure on Odysseus and Fors suddenly eased.

Odysseus thought to himself: "The path of the God of Death is like this. It cannot be described as "alive" or "dead" because when they reach Sequence 4, they often die while living, and die and live again.

Then, Odysseus thought that if he couldn't open the secret door in the wall, Fors might be able to open it!

But now is not the best time to open the door, you have to be patient.

"Yes." The Saint said, "Through His reminder, we noticed a batch of documents discovered in the southern continent, and found a description of you in them.

"After multiple verifications, we learned that your condition is still very poor, and your physical body and spirit are separated. So we're here to see if we can help."

The muffled voice sneered, "Just tell me what you have to say. There's no need to be so hypocritical."

　Sorry, it's a little late today.
