Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 314: Projection of the Giant King's Court
Odysseus thought for a while and guessed that the woman with a look of vicissitudes in her eyes should be one of the "Ten Pillars" of the current "Moss Ascetic Order".

Apparently, in the late Fourth Epoch, or perhaps in the Fifth Epoch, a "Staff of Guth" was taken away by the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery.

In this way, the whereabouts of the remaining nine "Gus Staffs" are basically clear.

Four of them are suspected to be on alien planets, two are in the "God-forsaken Land", one is in the rainy meadow, and the last two are in the hands of the demigods of the Steam Church and the "Moss Ascetic Order".

If you want to salvage it, the staff in the rainy grass seems to be the easiest to salvage.

Then Odysseus noticed that there were ten "Staffs of Guth" in total, and there were "Ten Pillars" in the "Moss Ascetic Order". Was this a coincidence? Could it be that in the beginning, each "Pillar" held a "Staff of Guth"?
Thinking of this, Odysseus was reminded of the "Sage's" description of the "pillar" during his conversation with Theresa.

The reason why he was touched at that time was because he felt that those were not words that someone from this mysterious world could say. He could even preliminarily conclude that the "sage" was also a time traveler.

So Odysseus guessed that the "Knowledge Wilderness" should also have a "storage traverser" structure similar to the "Source Castle", and would regularly send a traverser directly into reality.

But what Odysseus couldn't understand was who wanted to use the "Wilderness of Knowledge" to be resurrected?
First of all, it can't be "God" or "Tianzun", so who could it be? Who can use "source" to achieve their own goals?
Odysseus slapped his forehead. There were too few clues and he didn't even know which direction to think in.

Finally, Odysseus recalled Teresa's description of the "barrier" and the Outer Gods. He had not expected that during the Second and Fourth Ages, the Outer Gods were actually quite rampant.

But when he thought about it, it seemed to be true. In the Second Age, the "Fallen Mother Goddess" had some influence on the "Ancestor of the Blood Clan" Lilith, and even polluted the ancient god to a certain extent.

During the Quaternary Period, it is certain that both the "Black Emperor" Solomon and the "Night Emperor" Trunsoest seemed to have established a certain connection with the "Uncertain Mist".

This is what Odysseus knows, and there may be some things he doesn't know.

In the Third Age, with the presence of the "Ancient Sun God", the Outer Gods certainly did not dare to reach into the "barrier", otherwise they would probably be beaten.

By the Fifth Age, it seemed that apart from the arrival of the "evil god" Su'a, there was basically no trace of the Foreign Gods.

Moreover, Suea's arrival did not seem to have any serious consequences. So, since the Fifth Age, the real world has been relatively safe.

Is this situation possible thanks to the Seven Gods moving the Kingdom of God to the Astral Plane to "plug the hole"?
Recalling Teresa's description, Odysseus couldn't help but wonder if this was the "Sage's" plan?

After all, in Odysseus's view, the holes in the "barrier" are not ordinary "holes".

How to block it specifically should require a coordinated process, and also require attention to "methods and methods". After all, the "Seven Gods" also have to face the Outer Gods directly.

Their level is still half a sequence lower, and they are in danger of being contaminated if they are not careful.

Thinking of this, Odysseus suddenly smiled, because this question also lacked sufficient clues. He couldn't pray to the "Goddess of Night" and ask her if she was hung up by the "Sage"?
If he asked this question, the people who would most likely respond to him would be two big bastards!

No, it could be eight.

Taking a deep breath, Odysseus decided not to think about these problems for the time being.

He took the "Staff of Gus" and touched the "CPU" again with his other hand to see if he could analyze the staff.

Using the level of "Knowledge Wilderness", I realized that the crystal on this staff is of a very high level, even reaching the spiritual material of the divine level.

This material makes it impossible to mass-produce this staff.

Odysseus pondered for a moment, conjured up a crystal ball, and then used the power of "Wild Knowledge" to perform "astrology".

He silently recited in his mind: "The process of making the Gus Staff."

"The process of making the Staff of Gus."

"..."

After reciting it silently seven times, Odysseus looked at the crystal ball on which a constellation appeared. The constellation was very complicated and it took him a long time to analyze it before he roughly understood what was going on.

"Astrology" is different from "divination". In "astrology", you cannot see the picture directly, you can only see different constellations and understand the divination results by analyzing the constellations.

There is no need to worry about any major problems in interpretation, as the spiritual power of the "astrologer" can basically give a correct understanding.

Even so, he couldn't ask too complicated questions. If he were in the outside world, Odysseus would split his "astrology" into several parts. For example, the first question would be whether the "Staff of Gus" was made by the elves? The second question would be whether the "Staff of Gus" was related to the "Sage".

However, in the "Wilds of Knowledge", you can ask complex questions such as "How is the Staff of Gus made?", and the resulting astrological signs will be very complex.

According to astrology, the crystal at the top of Gus's staff came from an Outer God. It seemed to be a material torn off from an Outer God by a "Sage". After being processed by the "Sage", it was commissioned to the elves to make ten staffs.

This interpretation surprised Odysseus. He didn't expect that the level of the "Staff of Gus" was so high!
But he did understand why the Gus Staff appeared on an alien planet.

It turns out that the main production materials come from the Outer Gods.

Then Odysseus used the crystal ball to "read the stars" again. This time, the question he silently asked in his mind was: "Why is there a staff of Gus on an alien planet?"

After reciting it silently seven times, a complex constellation appeared in the crystal ball.

Odysseus interpreted it and realized that the "Ten Pillars" of the "Moss Ascetic Order" often fought with the angels of the "Outer Gods". After the members of the "Ten Pillars" died on the alien planet, the "Staff of Gus" was taken away from the earth by the angels of the "Outer Gods" without time to recover it.

This result made Odysseus stand in awe, because it indirectly proved that the "Moss Ascetic Order" had really fought a life-and-death battle with the Outer Gods in the past.

In this regard, Odysseus felt that if there was a chance, he should try to recover those "Staves of Gus".

After resolving all the questions in his mind in the "Wilderness of Knowledge", Odysseus returned to the real world and brought out the "Staff of Guth" with him.

He planned to make a leather case after returning and hang it around his waist to store and protect the "Staff of Gus".

Then he began to think about his plan after returning. Although he had obtained one main material, it didn't seem difficult to obtain the other main material.

However, the promotion ceremony seemed a bit difficult. Odysseus remembered that it required a drop of blood from a "mythical creature".

If we want to wait for the umbilical cord blood of "Snake of Destiny", it seems we will have to wait for a few months.

There is also the issue of digesting the potion. So far, not a quarter of the "Astrologer"'s potion has been digested. At this rate, it will take at least half a year to complete the digestion.

Odysseus believed that as soon as he had time after returning, he should take the initiative to find an opportunity to digest the potion.

Just like Klein would go to the hospital to volunteer and look for opportunities to digest the potion, he also planned to follow his previous idea and go to a strange island to be a charlatan to see if the potion could be digested in this way.

There are many other things, such as searching for demigod-level characteristics with Vice Admiral Iceberg, the "Pirate Conference", the assassination of Duke Negan, etc.

At this time, the voice of Second Officer Rupert was heard from the "Voice Transmission Array": "Captain, we have sighted the 'Future'."

Odysseus was stunned. He didn't expect to meet again so soon.

He took out the crystal ball and contacted the "Admiral of the Stars." Looking at Cattleya's figure in the crystal ball, Odysseus asked, "Have you achieved your goal?"

Cattleya said, "It's done."

"My goal has been achieved." Odysseus said, "How about we form a fleet and return together?"

"no problem."

So Odysseus contacted Edwina again, told her about forming a fleet again, and conveyed the order to the control room.

There was nothing to do today, so Odysseus poured himself a glass of red wine to celebrate the successful completion of the previous operation.

"It seems your hunting was successful." Bernadette appeared beside Odysseus with a smile.

Odysseus stood up and poured Bernadette some wine while saying, "Thank you for the clues you provided. They made it easier for me to find the 'Psychedelic Red Coral'."

Bernadette took the glass and said, "Congratulations."

"Thank you."

The two men clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Bernadette looked around and said, "It seems like this is my first time in your studio."

Odysseus nodded: “It is indeed the first time.

"how do you feel?"

Bernadette sat on the chair and said, "It's a bit like a craftsman's workshop, but it's much neater than theirs."

Odysseus sat at the workbench, chatting with Bernadette across from him. "Of course. The greatest characteristic of the Secret Peeper is composure."

This is quite similar to a "magician". Only when you are fully prepared can you be more calm.

Odysseus asked, "After returning to the real world, do you still plan to return to Backlund?"

"Well," Bernadette took a deep breath, "I predicted that something big would happen there. Perhaps I'll find a promotion..."

Having said that, Bernadette, who was well aware of the difficulties in her promotion, let out a sigh and did not continue.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself," Odysseus comforted him. "You're already Sequence 3, which is already very impressive."

Bernadette shook her head and said, "It's just the ability to protect myself."

Moreover, it is only when there is a level 0 seal that it has the ability to protect itself.

This sequence is actually quite awkward. It is already considered a "high sequence", but it has just reached the level of "high sequence".

It is precisely because I understand what "High Sequence" is that I realize how weak I am.

"It's mainly because your power has developed too well." Odysseus smiled and advised from another perspective: "If you are alone, Sequence 3 is enough.

"But once your power grows to a certain level, you'll need a certain amount of strength to protect your subordinates."

Bernadette was slightly stunned: "I suddenly feel that what you said makes a lot of sense."

"That makes sense." Odysseus got down from the workbench and poured two more glasses of wine. "Relax and don't push yourself too hard."

The two men clinked their glasses again and each took a sip.

Bernadette smiled and said, "That's true, but you still have to get promoted as soon as possible.

"This will also provide you with more protection, and some of your inventions can be released earlier."

She was stunned for a moment when she said this, then suddenly stood up and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Oh, by the way, I came here to tell you." Bernadette paused and said, "The other main ingredient is in the Misty Sea. My suggestion is that you wait until your Astrologer potion is almost digested before I take you there."

Odysseus nodded: "No problem."

The next second, Bernadette disappeared from the studio.

Looking at the empty studio, Odysseus was stunned for a few seconds before scratching his head and sitting down again, feeling a little complicated for a moment.

Apparently, the "Mysterious Queen" felt that her words were a bit too blunt, so she immediately asked to leave.

Odysseus had not expected that he was also part of the reason why Bernadette wanted to be promoted as soon as possible.

Because it was noon outside, Odysseus didn't know whether it was night or day.

While having dinner in the restaurant, night fell. Odysseus hurried back to his room, but found that Bernadette had already lay down in her armchair and pointed in the direction of the bed, meaning that Odysseus should go to the bed.

This made him slightly stunned. He wondered if Bernadette had come to the armchair separated by a wall after she disappeared.

But now is not the time to think about this problem. Odysseus lay down on the bed and fell into a dream in a trance.

This time, Odysseus appeared in the courtyard of the Black Monastery. Next to him was Bernadette, and a little further away were the crews of the other three ships.

The Mysterious Queen said, "I'll show you a good show later."

Odysseus smiled and said, "Are you going to blow up this monastery?"

The third officer Beavis, who was not far away, suddenly said, "No, we can't blow it up!
"very dangerous!"

Odysseus was stunned. At first he thought that the other party had the ability to maintain consciousness even in a dream.

But he soon discovered that the other person's eyes were still confused, and the answer just now seemed more like a subconscious answer.

This made Odysseus feel a little strange, because Beavis should be coming to the "Ruins of the War of Gods" for the first time and should not be familiar with this place.

So Odysseus asked: "Why do you think this place can't be blown up?"

"It's very dangerous!" Beavis said in a daze, "It's very dangerous!"

Odysseus pressed, "What danger is there exactly?"

"We will all die." Beavis suddenly pinched his temple and said, "Ever since I was a child, there has been a voice in my head, constantly telling me to go to the end of the Sonia Sea.

"Now that I'm here, the voice disappeared again. "The previous voice told me that he was imprisoned in a black monastery here and asked me to come find him.

"But we can't destroy the monastery, because if we do, everyone will die!"

Bernadette was also attracted by Beavis's answer. She asked Odysseus: "What's so special about your third mate? Why are you attracted to the sounds here?"

"I don't know," Odysseus said. "He never mentioned that."

But he quickly recalled: "Before joining my pirate group, he said more than once that he wanted to go to the end of the Sonia Sea one day to take a look.

"At the time, I thought he wanted to come to this 'Ruins of the War of Gods' to conduct some research."

Bernadette warned: "Hearing strange noises is not a good thing. You have to take it seriously."

Odysseus hummed, "I'll talk to the third mate about this when I get back."

At this moment, the door of the monastery's main hall, where Odysseus, Klein, and Anderson met, was suddenly pushed open, and a man in a linen robe quickly rushed out.

Bernadette explained briefly, "This is a saint from the Aurora Society, named Leo Master."

Odysseus suddenly recalled that in the black monastery, it seemed that a demigod of the "Aurora Society" had suffered from "split personality" here, and his good side and evil side were hiding and chasing each other.

The one who just came out should be the kind side of Leo Master.

The other party seemed not to see Odysseus and Bernadette, and ran quickly towards the gate.

Then, a tall figure wearing black full body armor chased out, holding a huge straight sword.

Looking at the other party's ferocious look, you can tell that this is the evil side of Leo Master.

One of them fled in front and the other chased behind, until they left the black monastery and ran to the mountain outside the monastery.

Bernadette and Odysseus followed closely behind. At the same time, Odysseus noticed that Klein also chased out from the hall just now. He probably wanted to see what Leomaster was going to do?
Soon, they arrived at the edge of the cliff on the top of the mountain. The kind-hearted Leomast, who was running in front, prayed in ancient Hermetic language to the projection of the "Giant King's Court" on the other side of the cliff: "Lord, the creator of everything; you are omniscient and almighty.

“You are the source of all greatness, you are the beginning and the end.

"You are the God of Gods, you are the ruler of the vast starry sky."

As this honorific name ended, the canyon separating the two mountains suddenly trembled, and a passage rose up, as if leading directly to the "Giant King's Court".

At this moment, Bernadette suddenly raised her hand, and the two Leomasters suddenly disappeared.

She explained simply: "I sent them back to the convent."

Odysseus pretended to understand. "You want to use that saint from the Aurora Society to find a way to enter the Giant King's Court?"

Bernadette said "hmm" as a response.

At this time, Klein was also standing not far away, looking at the passage in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.

"This passage is wrong." Bernadette stared at it for a while and suddenly said, "It can't lead to the 'Giant King's Court' or the 'God-Forsaken Land'. It will only lead to a very dangerous dream."

Odysseus asked: "Do you want to go to the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods'?"

"No." Bernadette smiled, "I just want to find a way to get there."

Klein, who was not far away, looked over and noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the way the two people were chatting.

After a moment's thought, he realized: while the "Mysterious Queen" had a stern expression when she was talking to me, she seemed relaxed and at ease when she was talking to Mr. Gall.

Thinking of this, Klein glanced at the two people chatting again: Emperor, your cabbages are really about to be eaten by pigs.

Neither Bernadette nor Odysseus thought there was anything wrong with it. They had long been accustomed to the current way of chatting.

Odysseus pondered for a moment before saying, "Legend has it that the 'shared dream' we're in is a dream of the 'omniscient and omnipotent Lord' of the Third Age, whom we call the 'Ancient Sun God.'"

Bernadette frowned and said, "Just as I suspected, this 'Ruins of the Gods' War' witnessed the occurrence of the 'Great Cataclysm'."

Klein, standing by, was stunned and couldn't help but wonder: "The Great Cataclysm" is the consequence of a war between gods?
At this time, it became bright above their heads and the darkness ended.

Back in the real world, Odysseus sat up and looked at the armchair, where the "Mysterious Queen" was still lying.

The discussion continued, and Odysseus said, "The correct path to the Giant King's Court projection must be found at a specific location in the real world."

Bernadette looked out the window and said, “I think so too.

"One thing we can be sure of now is that the projection of the 'Giant King's Court' must have some connection with the real 'Giant King's Court'."

Odysseus suddenly thought: the "Dark Angel" must be in the "Giant King's Court", so it has some connection with the projection of the "Giant King's Court" in the dream of the "Ancient Sun God".

Only then can the corresponding channel be established to connect the real world and the "God-forsaken Land".

Bernadette noticed that Odysseus was stunned, so she asked, "What did you think of?"

"It suddenly occurred to me that the formation of the 'God-Forsaken Land' has a lot to do with the 'Ancient Sun God'. If this dream really belongs to the 'Ancient Sun God', then this dream must be the link between the outside world and the 'God-Forsaken Land'." Of course, Odysseus couldn't say what he had just thought.

Because now there are very few people who know that the "Dark Angel" is sleeping in the "Giant King's Court", or it is most likely that only the members of "Redemption Rose", Amon and Adam know about this.

These guys were either angel kings or gods. It was ridiculous for him, a Sequence 5, to know such things.

Bernadette nodded slowly: "Your idea is very good."

Then she asked, "What do you think of 'The Fool's Favor'?"

"On the surface, he went out to sea because of the 'Backlund Great Smog' incident," Odysseus said, "but in reality, he must have received some orders from the 'Fool'.

"You see, wherever he goes, there are often some major events happening."

Bernadette thought for a moment and said, "That's true."

Then she smiled and said, "Come to think of it, the fake identity he used after going to sea was provided by me."

Odysseus nodded and thought to himself: Actually, I told him this before.

He continued, "At least he and The Fool haven't shown much ill will towards this world so far. I think we can maintain contact with them and continue to observe."

Bernadette nodded slowly, she also had such a plan.

Odysseus stood up from the bed and said, "I'm going to talk to the third mate."

Bernadette was still lying in the armchair, with no intention of getting up, and just said "hmm".

When Odysseus came out of the studio, he saw Third Officer Beavis standing in a daze in the restaurant.

Odysseus took two glasses of beer, handed one to the third mate, and sat opposite him with the other.

Beavis took the beer and was stunned for a moment before saying to the captain, "Thank you."

Odysseus volunteered, "I have a way to stay awake in the dream world."

Beavis took a sip of beer and showed a little surprise, but he soon felt that this didn't seem too surprising: "I...I seemed to have told you something in my dream just now?"

"That's right," Odysseus said. "You said you heard a voice since you were a child, asking you to come to the 'Ruins of the Gods' War' to rescue someone imprisoned in the Black Monastery!"

"It seems I've told you everything." Beavis smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I don't know what's going on. Many times I wonder if it's an illusion."

"You should have told me this earlier." Odysseus took a sip of beer and said, "Perhaps I can make some preparations in advance and help you find out what's going on?

"And there must be some danger involved. Fortunately, no serious consequences were caused. If we had triggered some strange power, we would have died inexplicably."

Beavis's expression also became solemn: "I'm sorry, Captain, I was inconsiderate."

Odysseus waved his hand and said, “Now let’s talk about this matter.

"When exactly did you start hearing that voice?"

Beavis thought for a moment before saying, "It seems like it was when I was a child, after being baptized, that I became a believer of the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom'."

Odysseus was stunned: "Isn't your faith the Lord of Storms?"

"My father is from Ma Xi," Beavis said with a smile, "When I was young, I believed in the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom' for a while.

"After I went out to sea, I gradually converted and am now a believer of the 'Lord of Storms'."

Odysseus nodded slowly, but thought to himself: Fortunately, you don’t believe in the "God of Steam and Machinery".

Then he couldn't help but frown: "Could those words you heard be related to the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom'?"

Beavis smiled bitterly: "I am just an ordinary person, how could I be involved with gods?"

Odysseus pondered for a moment and asked again, "How often do you hear it? Or can you only hear it under certain circumstances?"

"You can hear it about once a month." Beavis replied, "There's no specific situation, you can just hear it occasionally.

"That voice was very vague and intermittent. Over the years, I only knew that it was asking for help. It roughly told me that it was imprisoned in a black monastery and described some details about the black monastery."

Odysseus pinched his chin. "But why did this voice disappear when you arrived at the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods'? And your appearance hasn't caused any reaction from the other party."

Beavis said: "I am also a little strange. These days I feel more and more that it is my auditory hallucination."

Odysseus shook his head. It was impossible for the auditory hallucinations to last for so long, and there would be connections between the continuous auditory hallucinations.

His first thought was: Could it be that some power here had interrupted the connection between Beavis and the voice? Or had Beavis been affected or contaminated by something, but no one had noticed.

Odysseus took a deep breath before saying, "Keep a close eye on this matter. If you hear that voice again, come to me immediately."

"Okay." Beavis agreed readily.

Odysseus returned to his room. Bernadette was still lying in the easy chair. He was about to tell the "Mysterious Queen" what they had just talked about when the "Mysterious Queen" raised her hand and said, "I have heard your conversation just now."

Odysseus smiled and said, "The power of a demigod is really convenient."

Then he asked, "What do you think?"

"My opinion is that your third mate is too weak." Bernadette said, "Suppose someone is indeed imprisoned in that monastery and has indeed asked Beavis for help.

"But when he 'saw' how weak Beavis was, he probably decided not to contact him for the time being.

"After all, I finally found someone who could save me. If the rescuer is too weak, not only will they be unable to complete the rescue, but they will also expose themselves. So, simply not contacting them is the best option."

Odysseus nodded slowly: "This is a very reasonable guess."

Then he continued to speculate: "If that's the case, then when Beavis leaves here, he will definitely hear that voice again."

Bernadette smiled slightly; she thought so too.

Odysseus wiped his face with his hands and said, "Now there is only one question left. Why did Beavis only hear that voice after completing the baptism and beginning to believe in the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom'?"

Bernadette looked out the window and said, "You'll have to ask the God of Knowledge and Wisdom about this."

Odysseus twitched his lips. It would be funny if he prayed to the "God of Knowledge" and asked this question, and the other party asked back, "How should I know?"

For now, this issue can only be put on hold until there is an opportunity, or when the level is high enough, to be investigated.

The journey after that was uneventful. The "Future" took the "Argo" and the "Golden Dream" and bypassed those dangerous relics and ruins, avoiding the hidden dangers hidden in the safe waterway, and finally returned to the exit of the "Ruins of the Gods' War".

Odysseus looked again from the hanging window at the ruins that were mostly submerged by sea water when he first entered here. He was finally about to leave here.

At this moment, the crystal ball on Odysseus suddenly had spiritual fluctuations.

Odysseus took it out and took a look at it, then said to Bernadette in the room, "It's Cattleya."

On the way back, Odysseus kept chatting with Bernadette. The topics they talked about were very wide-ranging, including childhood fun, mystical knowledge, and Odysseus's inventions.

It had been a long time since the two of them had such a pleasant chat.

Bernadette said, "She can't see me."

Odysseus said "Oh" and established contact with the crystal ball on Cattleya's side.

Cattleya appeared in the crystal ball: "We have found a clue that may be the 'Fountain of Youth'."
