Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 285: The Predecessor of the Steam Church and the Messenger's Life Story (Today's Updates)

Odysseus heard what Bernadette's brother Bonois said and smiled slightly, "Since I am so dangerous, why doesn't the 'God of Steam and Machinery' come down and kill me directly?

"But you sent me, a man who obviously can't kill me?"

In Odysseus's view, as long as Bernadette is there, Bonois cannot kill him.

Originally, he wanted to make some sarcastic remarks about the "God of Steam and Machinery", but when he thought about Bonois being a devout believer, that would easily bring the conversation to a standstill.

Odysseus also planned to have a chat to see if he could get more information about the top leaders of the Steam Church.

"That's because," said Bonois, who also had long chestnut hair, "killing you now would be the same as helping you, and also helping the 'Hidden Sage'."

Odysseus was stunned. "Help me? Help the 'Hidden Sage'? What do you mean?"

Bonois just looked at him, obviously not intending to tell Odysseus more information.

At this time, Bernadette asked: "Then why did you come here? If you didn't come to kill Odysseus, then did you come to kill me?"

Bonova said, "I'm here to drive you away. This is not a place for you to play adventure games."

Cattleya, who had been silent the entire time, was surprised at the importance the Steam Church placed on the "Hermit". At the same time, she understood the "Queen's" prophecy about why there would not be too much danger even when encountering high-level enemies.

Although Bonova is a high-level enemy, they are not very dangerous, either from the perspective of strength or background.

Odysseus's mind raced as he suddenly recalled the complex symbols he had seen in the ruins before: "Is this the remains of the Stiano family?"

It suddenly occurred to him that the symbol that resembled the family crest was very similar to the "Mechanical Holy Emblem".

The main body of the "Mechanical Holy Emblem" is also an inverted triangle, with a geometric body composed of line segments and shapes in the middle, but it does not have the illusory equilateral triangle at the back, and the "Mechanical Holy Emblem" has an additional gear outside the geometric body in the middle.

The addition of gears has completely changed the original "family emblem" of the Stiano family.

Bonois replied, "Yes."

Bernadette and Cattleya were both stunned. They both knew that the Stiano family was the predecessor of the Church of Steam. Bernadette had known about it a long time ago, while Cattleya had only recently learned about it from the Tarot Club.

Odysseus then asked, "It's easy to tell from the Stiano family's crest that they're a family that places great emphasis on magic arrays. Why did they abandon their research on magic arrays after the Fifth Epoch?"

Many times, the hexagram represents a magic circle. The Stiano family's crest has a structure that is both real and imaginary.

Previously, Odysseus had speculated that the reason many high-level magic arrays were lost was because the families that controlled these magic arrays declined, so no one used those magic arrays anymore.

For example, after the decline of Abraham's family, no one understood the "teleportation array".

But the Stiano family did not decline, but instead "flourished". Why did they give up the research on magic circles?
Bonova said: "Because the popularization of high-end magic arrays and ancient mystical texts can easily awaken a very evil existence, the Steam Church simply put an end to the research and inheritance of high-end magic arrays.

"And because ancient mystical writing differs from human writing and thinking, there's no need to do much to eradicate it, and gradually fewer people know it."

Odysseus was stunned for a moment, not expecting such an answer.

He then asked, "What kind of being is awakened?"

Bonois looked at Odysseus with his blue eyes, and just like before, he kept silent.

Bernadette suddenly felt that the situation in front of her was a little funny. She didn't expect that Odysseus and Bonois could start a conversation.

Cattleya was once again bewildered by the Hermit's knowledge. She didn't understand where he got his knowledge from, and why he wasn't nervous even chatting with an angel.

Bonova then said, "Okay, you guys leave here."

"No problem." Bernadette said in a very easy-going manner: "Hand over that monster with the 'occultist' attribute, and we'll leave."

Bonois was stunned for a moment: "Why would I do this?"

Not only was he confused, but Odysseus was also confused after hearing Bernadette's request.

Bernadette smiled and said, "We came here chasing that monster. It's our prey."

Odysseus slapped his forehead: This idea is very unique, but I like it.

Bonova seemed to be unable to react immediately. He paused for a second or two before saying, "This is a relic belonging to the Church of Steam. It's not your prey."

For some reason, what He said was clearly the truth, but because of Bernadette's previous words, Odysseus and Cattleya felt that it was far-fetched, even like he was quibbling.

Bernadette suddenly raised her chin and put on a parental attitude: "Bonova, I don't blame you for being loyal to the Steam Church that once betrayed your father. After all, you have grown up, and I respect your choice.

"But what did I tell you when you were little? Just because you're a noble doesn't mean you can't be unreasonable."

Bonois was stunned again, as if recalling some memories deep in his mind. Odysseus noticed that the way he looked at Bernadette suddenly changed.

Not as indifferent as before.

But soon, the change stopped, and the look in his eyes gradually turned cold again: "Bernadette, you don't understand the mysteries of this world, nor do you know what happened back then."

Bernadette was somewhat disappointed: "I don't need you to tell me what happened, because your so-called truth is a tampered truth."

Finally she said, "You are no longer Bonois."

Bonois' tone was no longer polite: "Since you won't leave, I have no choice but to drive you away."

Bernadette showed no sign of weakness: "It depends on whether you have the ability."

As she spoke, she gestured to Odysseus and Cattleya to leave on their own.

Because their battle will definitely make this place very dangerous, and no one can say whether the "God of Steam and Machinery" will descend?

Just when the brother and sister were about to fight, suddenly a group of illusory lights came out from a building some distance away from them, illuminating the huge underground structure.

Odysseus saw that at the top of this space, there was actually a huge and complex magic circle composed of runes and graphics.

And those buildings in the distance, built relying on the terrain here, are very magnificent and tall. No one knows who activated this huge magic circle.

Odysseus grabbed Cattleya and quickly used the power of the "Travel Ring" to leave here.

But just as the two entered the spirit world, Odysseus's vision was covered by light, and then he felt a force pulling him apart from Cattleya, entering an unknown spirit world and quickly returning to the real world.

The light in Odysseus's eyes quickly faded, and he found himself in an unfamiliar environment, and Cattleya was gone.

The strong light just now made it difficult for Odysseus's eyes to adapt to the darkness here for a while. Because he couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly, Odysseus first used a "defense scroll" and took a defensive posture.

After a few seconds, his eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness and he found himself in an ancient hall. The hall was very tall, like the residence of a giant.

Deep in the hall, there is a beautiful altar and two huge statues.

The symbol on the altar is still the Stiano family's emblem composed of a hexagram and geometric shapes.

After seeing the symbols on the altar clearly, Odysseus realized that he had not left the underground space.

Then Odysseus guessed that he seemed to appear in the magnificent buildings he had just seen in a daze.

Only then did he recall that the pulling force he felt in the spiritual world just now was most likely the power of a certain magic circle.

The specific ability is probably to pull targets that have entered the spiritual world within a certain range back to the real world.

If it was a year ago, Odysseus would still think that this magic circle was very magical, but in the past six months, he has entered the ancient ruins many times and seen many more advanced magic circles. He feels that no matter how strange the magic circle is, it will not seem strange to him.

Then, Odysseus carefully checked his surroundings and found no danger, so he walked forward to check the two statues.

The statues depicted two figures, a man and a woman. They were both beautiful and handsome, but they were not wearing the asymmetrical clothing characteristic of the Quaternary Period. Instead, they were wearing clothing that resembled that of the Tertiary Period.

They looked towards the altar with gentle faces, like the eyes and expressions of elders looking at their juniors.

Odysseus guessed: Are these two angels from the Stiano family?
He remembered that the "God of Steam and Machinery" was more feminine and had a nickname "Mechanical Princess", so who was this man?
Then he thought: It is also possible that the "God of Steam" is a male, because His full name seems to be Yugus Stiano, which does not sound like a female name at all.

So the same question is, who is this woman?
At this moment, Odysseus suddenly thought of his messenger, but the messenger was just a skeleton, and there was nothing to refer to except her classical hunting suit.

After thinking it over, Odysseus did not immediately summon the messenger to verify because he was not sure of the other party's position.

If he needed help, Odysseus would rather pray to the "Goddess of Night".

Then Odysseus saw some exquisite murals behind the stone statue.

Generally, the murals in the sacrificial hall contain information about the objects of sacrifice, so Odysseus walked around the stone statues and looked at the murals.

First, in the mural in the middle, Odysseus saw a familiar figure.

He was suspended in mid-air, his wide robes fluttering, embodying the charm and beauty of Eastern depictions of immortals.

Odysseus was almost certain that this was the person who appeared in the "underwater city" and had talked with the "Queen of Natural Disasters" Cosinamu.

In this mural, His face is depicted as a series of characters, and it is unclear what He actually looks like.

The entire mural depicts Him conversing with the figures carved in the two statues behind the altar.

Odysseus, who had the relevant knowledge, knew that the murals in the sacrificial hall would contain a description of the origins of the sacrificial objects, or it would be more appropriate to use the word "roots".

Before the Fifth Age, the credibility of this kind of mural was very high.

But in the Fifth Age, the "roots" of the Seven Gods directly became part of the "Prime Creator".

This description is not wrong. After all, the roots of every extraordinary person lie in the "Prime Creator".

The problem is that they skipped many intermediate links. For example, when talking about the "Goddess of Night", there should actually be a mural of the "Wolf of Destruction".

However, in the corresponding murals of the Church of Evernight during the Fourth Epoch, the figure of this ancient god had almost disappeared.

Odysseus continued to look down. The next mural depicted a cross as tall as a mountain. In front of the cross stood a man with a peaceful face, gazing forward with the purest and gentlest eyes.

This look was very penetrating. Odysseus felt as if He was looking at him, and this look made Odysseus have the urge to bow.

Odysseus quickly turned his gaze away to look at other parts of the mural, and the urge to salute disappeared.

Another part of the mural shows the two angels of the Stiano family bowing slightly to the man.

Although there was no representation of the sun behind the man, the tall cross was enough to prove that he was the "ancient sun god."

Odysseus pinched his chin: I didn’t expect that the Stiano family had once defected to the "Ancient Sun God".

The third mural is somewhat abstract, depicting the female angel of the Stiano family embracing a tall cross.

Odysseus frowned. This description is a bit ambiguous. It can be interpreted as this female angel is deeply trusted by the "ancient sun god" and the two have a close relationship.

It can also be interpreted as that they are having an affair.

This made Odysseus feel that this description was a bit ridiculous, because the level of the "ancient sun god" could no longer be described by the gender of man or woman.

He is both male and female.

The key is that the divinity in His body should have made Him lose all human desires.

Adam and Amon were both born by the "Ancient Sun God" himself, so how could they be involved with the angels of the Stiano family?
If you really want to relive some of the human feelings, why not find a "witch"?

Odysseus smiled, wondering if this was the Stiano family trying to curry favor with the "ancient sun god"?
When he reached the fourth mural, Odysseus was shocked. The main body of the mural was still a tall cross. The female angel from the Stiano family stood on one side of the cross, looking forward with a kind face.

In front of her, there were two cute-looking children about seven or eight years old. One had golden hair and golden pupils, and the other had black hair and a crystal monocle on his eye socket.

Although the two children were small and looked harmless, Odysseus was certain that they were depicting Adam and Amon.

These two actually have a mother?
Odysseus suddenly recalled that when he first met the messenger, He seemed to know many secrets about the "ancient sun god" and said that He had a certain connection with Adam and Amon.

This……

Odysseus still found it hard to accept that Adam and Amon actually had a mother?
Theoretically, they don't need to have a mother. Why would the "Ancient Sun God" bother?
However, the mural on the left ended there, and Odysseus went to look at the mural on the right. The second mural there was the same as the one on the opposite side. It also showed two angels from the Stiano family paying homage to the "Ancient Sun God".

The scene becomes different in the third painting, which depicts a being with oriental charm talking with the "ancient sun god" with a cross as the background.

The male angel from the Stiano family stood behind the being with oriental charm, listening to their conversation.

This conversation must have exchanged very important information, or it must have been a very important meeting in the extraordinary world. The male angel was proud just to have participated in this meeting.

Or perhaps the content of this conversation, just the part that the male angel heard, was enough to change the direction of the Stiano family's development.

Odysseus became more and more curious about the being with oriental charm.

But after thinking about it, he couldn't recall any existence that could be connected with Him.

The person most likely to be connected to Him is probably the "Hidden Sage", and Odysseus remembered that the "God of Steam and Machinery" seemed to have once been a member of the "Moss Ascetic Order".

Could it be that the "Hidden Sage" comes from... That's not right!

Odysseus thought again: It is basically certain that the "Hidden Sage" is most likely the only activated god, at the level of the King of Angels.

Did His "bloodline awaken" when He "revived"? Did He take on the appearance of an Oriental?

Thinking of this, he shook his head, feeling that he really didn't know how to guess next.

Odysseus continued to look down, and the next two murals showed this male angel leading his people in battle.

In the two murals, his two opponents are the "God of War" and the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom".

After taking a quick look, Odysseus roughly understood that this meant that he did not suffer any loss when fighting against the two gods separately.

This is indeed a very glorious thing. Generally speaking, angels can only protect themselves when they meet the true God. If they run slower, they will be seriously injured, and their condition may even be affected for a long time in the future.

This male angel had faced the true God twice in battle and not only withstood the opponent's attacks but also remained unharmed. This was enough to give him a "separate page in the family tree."

After watching for a while, Odysseus couldn't tell when this battle took place. He guessed that it might have been a battle in the early Quaternary Period.

Since the Stiano family had once pledged allegiance to the "Ancient Sun God," they would have certainly stood on the side of the "True Creator" during the Solomon Empire, and would likely have clashed with the "Six Gods" of the time.

After viewing these murals, Odysseus gained a new understanding of the Stiano family.

He had originally thought that this family was just an ordinary angel family before the "God of Steam and Machinery" became a god, but today he found out that this family actually has so many secrets.

In other words, every angel family must have had a glorious past.

Then Odysseus noticed one thing: the hall was surrounded by walls and there was no exit.

However, after a quick observation, he saw a magic circle directly opposite the two statues.

Generally speaking, if there is a door, it must be in this direction.

He walked over quickly, observed it carefully, determined the function of the magic circle, and then injected spirituality into the corresponding characters. Sure enough, two illusory doors appeared in front of him.

Odysseus pushed open the door and saw a dark corridor outside.

There is a wall on the left side of the corridor, and many rooms and passages on the right side. The structure here looks very complicated.

He came to a corridor and felt a gentle breeze on his face. The end of the corridor seemed to be connected to the outside world.

So Odysseus decided to walk forward along the corridor to see what was happening. However, after taking only two steps, his spirit sensed danger coming from nowhere.

This made Odysseus immediately hide in a room with a window and several other exits. Then the premonition of danger became stronger, but Odysseus still didn't know where the danger came from.

Odysseus quietly hid under a window sill. He was not too nervous because as long as he did not appear in the other party's sight, even Bonois could not find him. At this moment, he saw a faint starlight suddenly appear in the corner, like a fine yarn inlaid with diamonds.

Cattleya appeared there, made a gesture to silence Odysseus, and moved towards Odysseus very quickly.

Odysseus twitched his lips. He himself would not be discovered by the other party, but if he was with Cattleya, he would be easily discovered.

However, he couldn't warn her at this time, so he had to move closer to Cattleya. When the two of them met, the star sand in Cattleya's hand reappeared, and a thin layer of gauze that looked like it was covered with starlight appeared in front of the two of them.

The yarn hid their tracks, and eventually even the yarn disappeared.

The source of danger lingered around for several minutes before leaving. However, neither of them spoke immediately. Instead, they waited for another minute or two before Cattleya whispered, "That's a monster with the characteristics of a 'mystic scholar'!

"It's crazy, but it also seems very intelligent."

Odysseus nodded slowly. He knew that lunatics were not fools, it was just that their thinking was a little different.

At this moment, Odysseus thought: "Did it activate the magic circle just now?"

Roughly speaking, no one has taken care of this place since the formation of the Raging Sea.

Just now, Odysseus noticed that this huge underground space only had a lot of magic circles on the top, and there was no "underwater city" around it, which was a space between the spiritual world and the real world. It was not so hidden.

That's why some extraordinary creatures are attracted here, and it has been raining outside. The erosion of rainwater may have caused many entrances to appear in this huge underground space that did not exist more than a thousand years ago.

Monsters with "occultist" characteristics and those extraordinary creatures should have come from there.

No matter what kind of monster it is, since it has a demigod-level characteristic in its body and its condition is acceptable, its intelligence must be quite high.

Moreover, the characteristics of the "Secret Peeping Man" approach have a certain degree of enhancement on the brain and thinking. As long as the other party does not lose control on the spot, he has extremely high intelligence.

That's why Odysseus had such a guess. After the monster fully understood this place, it found a way to open the magic circle.

Cattleya thought for a moment, nodded, and then stroked her glasses on the bridge of her nose before saying, "But why does it activate the magic circle?"

If the magic circle is not activated, Bonois and Bernadette will not notice it at least for now. Once the magic circle is activated, it will be equivalent to exposing themselves.

And it actually dares to search outside like this. Isn’t it afraid of encountering Bonois or Bernadette?

Odysseus thought for a moment before answering, "Could it be that it doesn't know that the 'Queen' and Bonova came here for different purposes?
"Perhaps it saw Bonova talking to us from a distance and thought we had the same goal, to hunt it.

“As for why it dared to wander around outside, it was probably because based on its understanding of the magic circle, it was impossible for the ‘Queen’ and Bonova to appear in the surrounding area at this time.

"Or perhaps it's simply planning to attack us two Mid-Sequence Beyonders."

Cattleya was stunned: "Why do you say that?"

"The reason is simple," Odysseus took a deep breath, "It knows very well that one of us needs the characteristics in its body. If we both die.

"So, is there a certain probability that the 'Queen' and Bonois will leave?"

Cattleya was somewhat surprised: "Can it think of this?"

Odysseus laughed and said, "I can think of it, why can't it?"

Although the path of "Secret Peeper" seems to have nothing to do with cunning, whether it is a wizard, professor or scholar, it is a symbol of wisdom.

In Odysseus's view, there is often little difference between wisdom and cunning.

The two of them fell silent for a moment. After a few seconds, Cattleya said, "Now we should find the Queen as soon as possible, or find a way to get the Queen to find us.

"But the problem is that Bonois is likely to find us first, and we may also meet him first."

Odysseus thought to himself: In front of Bernadette, Cattleya looks like a child, but she is now indeed at the level of a "Pirate General" and has grasped the key point at once.

He smiled and said, "This problem is actually easy to solve."

Cattleya asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Pray to the 'Queen.'"

Cattleya smiled, she was laughing at herself for not turning this corner.

"But the prerequisite is that we need to figure out our current location." Odysseus said: "While that monster has just left here, let's immediately observe the surroundings."

As long as they are within the prayer range, the "Mysterious Queen" should be able to locate them, but to be on the safe side, Odysseus still thinks he should observe the surrounding situation first to compare it with some guidance that the "Mysterious Queen" may give.

Cattleya nodded: "Okay."

The two people quietly came to the corridor and walked towards the end.

The monster never appeared, and the two people successfully reached the end of the corridor. There was indeed a window leading to the outside world, but it was pitch black outside the window and nothing could be seen.

Looking down or up, you can see several layers of ruins below and above, but the view is not far.

Originally, Odysseus thought that his eyesight was not good, but when he saw Cattleya looking at him, he knew that she also saw nothing.

In order to avoid being exposed, the two men once again came to a room with many connections to discuss countermeasures.

Odysseus first asked his question: "Why can't I see what's in the distance?"

Cattleya frowned, and it was obvious that she hadn't figured this out either.

The two of them thought for a few seconds, and Odysseus said, "Now we can only pray to the Queen and see if she can find us according to our prayers."

Cattleya nodded and said "hmm".

Then Odysseus cleared his throat: “Go after the Holy Spirit of knowledge;

“A beacon of light to a mysterious world;

“The eyes that peer into fate;

“The king of the sea;
"Saintly Bernadette Gustave."

After praying only once, Odysseus felt as if his spirituality was suddenly elevated. He raised his head and saw some seemingly unreal figures appear in the air in front of him.

But then Odysseus felt something was wrong. When he prayed to Bernadette before, her figure was solid and sacred, but this time it seemed like there was a "bad signal" and it looked a little blurry.

"You have entered a special space." Before Odysseus could speak, Bernadette said, "That space seems to be in the spirit world, or at least it is connected to the spirit world, so I can hear your prayers."

Odysseus suddenly recalled that when he entered the spiritual world just now and felt that pulling sensation, he seemed to have entered a special space.

Later, when he returned to the real world, Odysseus thought it was an illusion, but he didn't expect that he had actually entered an unfamiliar space.

Odysseus asked, "Your Majesty, how do we get out?"

"I haven't found the entrance yet. Bonova said it's a space blessed by the gods. If you can't find the right way, I can't help you at all." Bernadette said:

"But the good news is that the entrance is controlled by a magic circle."

"That's really good news." Odysseus took a deep breath and asked, "That monster with the 'occultist' attribute is also in here. How did it get in?"

Bernadette paused and said, "I guess the monster must have originated from that space! Does it know how to enter and exit that space?"

Odysseus was stunned. He wondered if the monster was a survivor of the ruins?

He pondered for a moment and then asked, "Don't you know how Bonois got in?"

"I don't know." Bernadette said, "He said that everyone inside was dead, and all the information about it has disappeared."

Did Odysseus frown? This sounds very dangerous!

"I just made a 'prophecy' for you." Bernadette continued, "It's similar to the original prophecy. There are dangers, but they are not life-threatening.

"And the key to resolving the crisis lies with you. Pay attention and think carefully. Perhaps the way out of this predicament isn't difficult."

Odysseus was slightly stunned: "I understand."

Bernadette's figure became increasingly illusory, and finally disappeared completely.

Cattleya asked, "What do you think?"

She could also hear what the "Queen" said just now, and she also knew that the key to resolving the crisis lies with the "Hermit".

She even wondered if the Hermit's method was to seek help from the Fool.
"Let me think about it." Odysseus had indeed considered praying to Klein and asking for the Fool's help. After all, he was the "Ruler of the Spirit World," and Odysseus and Cattleya were most likely in the spirit world right now.

But then he thought about the limited strength Klein had recovered at this time, so he might as well ask the messenger for help.

But in the end, Odysseus decided: "Let's find a way out first."

If he could find the corresponding magic circle, he was sure he could get out of here. Based on the mentality of "it's better to rely on oneself than on others", he decided to try to find an exit by himself first, and then ask for help if he encountered danger.

Cattleya had no objection to this: "Okay."

However, Odysseus did not set off immediately. Instead, he analyzed: "Usually, this kind of entrance is at the bottom or top level. If the monster often enters and exits here, it must have left some clues.

"Let's go to the bottom floor first and take a look. Please pay attention and help me observe.

"Although the 'Queen's' prophecy' states that the key to resolving the crisis lies with me, it's also possible that you found the clues and I was inspired to come up with a solution."

Cattleya hummed, "You don't have to explain it so clearly."

Odysseus was stunned for a moment before he realized that his crew, except for Beavis and Noy, lacked sufficient knowledge of the occult, so he was used to explaining things clearly.

But Cattleya was more knowledgeable than Beavis and Noy, so there was no need for her to explain it so clearly.

After making some preparations, the two men searched the corridor of the ruins and soon found the stairs, so they went down to the bottom floor in one breath.

As soon as they arrived at this floor, Odysseus and Cattleya saw five corpses lying neatly in a row in the corridor.

It may be the special environment here that prevented them from completely rotting, but instead turned into mummies with their facial features dried up to the point of being blurred.

Odysseus approached cautiously, and after making sure they were no longer in any danger, he quietly came to the corridor.

What he saw instead was a scene that made his scalp tingle. The entire corridor was filled with mummies lying neatly in rows on the ground.

There were five bodies in each row, and they were arranged very neatly, as if they had fallen down together after standing in line.

Thinking back to Bernadette's reminder, "Everyone in this space is dead," Odysseus suddenly felt a chill.

He seemed to see that something dangerous had happened here. After death, all the people came to this floor and lined up neatly. As time passed, they dried up bit by bit.

Or maybe they came to this floor after being seriously injured, lying quietly on the ground, waiting for their life to slip away and eventually die.

Whatever it is, it seems pretty weird.

Odysseus and Cattleya were silent for more than ten seconds before Cattleya said, "That monster rarely comes here."

If you come here often, the mummies here would not be so neat.

Odysseus thought so too: "Let's go up there and take a look."

So the two of them returned the same way, and they tacitly did not discuss the strange scene just now.

If the danger here is really that great, there is no point in discussing it.

And to them, that monster is more threatening than the danger here.

In other words, both of them understood a very simple truth: don't waste energy on speculation that is beyond your ability or has no solid basis.

Just after going up two floors, the sense of threat posed by the monster appeared again.

Odysseus and Cattleya quickly entered the corridor of this floor and hid in a room with many exits.

They didn't dare to breathe, feeling the danger gradually approaching. After a few seconds, they suddenly realized that the source of danger was stopped in the corridor outside their hiding place.

It was discovered!

The two people had this idea almost at the same time, and then the two "old hands" immediately ran towards the nearest door without any communication.

At this time, you cannot have any luck. Since the other party has stopped, it means that at least a clue has been found.

Behind that door is a narrow corridor.

"Squeak~"

The sudden appearance of two people caused the rats here to scream and run away.

Odysseus and Cattleya frowned because the narrow corridor was very dirty and there were many animal skeletons and rat droppings.

Only bones were left of the skeletons, as if this was where the monster had its meals, and the rats living there followed behind to eat some of the "leftovers".

There are only two doors in this corridor, so you can only walk forward along the corridor.

Odysseus immediately used a "Flying Scroll", and the "Star Sand" in Cattleya's hand appeared again. The two of them flew up and passed through the corridor in mid-air.

That dangerous feeling followed closely behind, and it was obvious that the monster had caught up.

But Odysseus was a little puzzled. Why were the other party's movements so slow?
Theoretically, a Sequence 4 should be able to immediately catch up with a Sequence 6 or a Sequence 5 if it wants to.

But there was no time to worry about that now. Odysseus and Cattleya flew out of another door at their fastest speed.

There was another wide corridor there, but this corridor looked as if large groups of beasts had often fought here. There were deep scratches on the walls and some broken beast corpses on the ground.

After flying forward for a distance, Odysseus and Cattleya noticed a faint light at the corner ahead.

The moment they saw the light, they were immediately attracted to it and felt that the thing emitting the light was what they most expected and hoped to obtain.

At this moment, Odysseus felt himself in a trance, slowly landed on the ground, and slowly walked towards the bright room.

Even though the sense of crisis behind them was getting closer and closer, the two of them remained indifferent and continued to walk slowly.

Odysseus' mind realized the danger and tried to save himself, but he seemed to be completely out of control, and a force interrupted his thoughts several times.

At the critical moment, he suddenly recalled Klein's several ways of saving himself, and quickly tried to "meditate" and enter the "wilderness of knowledge."

He had originally thought his "meditation" would be interrupted, but unexpectedly, he easily entered the "wilderness of knowledge". After returning to the real world, Odysseus, who had briefly regained consciousness, immediately took out a scroll that flashed with black light: "Spiritual shock!"

This was one of the three scrolls he had just developed using the "Iron Law Stone". A mental shock exploded around them, and the minds of Odysseus and Cattleya were both damaged to a certain extent, but they also broke free from the state they were in just now.

Odysseus immediately said in ancient Hermetic language: “I!

"I call in my name:
"The spirit that wanders in the void belongs only to the messenger of Odysseus Garr."

This is a carefully considered request for help. In this emergency situation, The Fool and the Goddess of Night may not notice it at the first moment and may not respond immediately.

The space in front of them became illusory, and a skeleton in hunting clothes appeared in front of Odysseus.

Odysseus's messenger glanced around and said, "Didn't you say you'd help me find my special abilities after you became a demigod? Why are you here now?"
