Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 321 The Legacy of the Elves
When Odysseus heard that Vice Admiral Deep Sea wanted to buy a Portable Spirit Wave Cannon, he said, "This cannon is quite expensive."

He has no plans to sell the Lingbo Cannon now, because for now, this cannon is still a strategic-level weapon.

"How much?" "Deep Sea Vice Admiral" Hal asked persistently.

After he experienced the power of the "Spirit Wave Cannon", he felt that it was worth any money spent!
Odysseus said simply: "According to my observation, the rock has not been completely destroyed. I will fire another shot."

Hal knew that the other party didn't want to sell, so he didn't say anything.

If it was someone else, he could still snatch it away, but he obviously couldn't beat the "Secret Admiral", so he had to find another way.

The rest period of the "Spirit Wave Cannon" was over. Odysseus said to the pirates who had just climbed out of the sea and were still a little doubtful about their lives: "I am going to fire the cannon."

This time, no one, including Hal, hesitated and immediately lay down on the beach.

Odysseus pressed the button and pressed the launch button again.

Boom~
Another explosion shook the earth. Ten seconds later, the shock wave ended. Everyone looked up and saw a big hole blown out around the rock!
At this time, the rock was burned into a black crystal by the violent explosion, floating in the center of the pit.

Odysseus's spirit could sense that the black crystal was very weak at this moment. If he fired another shot, he would be able to kill it.

At this moment, the huge, colorful viper that had appeared before swam hard to the black crystal and opened its mouth to suck it into its stomach.

Odysseus immediately said, "Stop him!"

After saying that, he pulled out the "Staff of Gus" and used the "Flying Technique" to fly over there immediately.

Klein had heard from Odysseus that the "Spirit Wave Cannon" also had a rest period, so he was the first to react and followed closely.

Hal Constantine and Alger each took a look at the "Spirit Wave Cannon" and then seemed to understand something, and followed it by flying.

The launch site of the "Portable Spirit Wave Cannon" was some distance away from the rock, and the time it took Odysseus and the other four to fly over was enough for the viper to swallow the crystal.

Fortunately, the two "Spirit Wave Cannon" shells just now injured the viper, and it seemed to be moving slowly.

As Odysseus and the others chased to a certain distance, they felt suddenly pushed away by a huge force, as if they had hit a transparent wall.

The four people immediately understood that the black crystal in the rock not only had a huge gravitational force, but also had a huge repulsive force.

Odysseus had no choice but to raise the "Staff of Guth", and the head of the staff immediately became bright. A bolt of lightning fell towards the viper, but the huge force changed its landing point and did not hurt the viper.

Klein also tried using "air bullets", but was unable to hit the viper.

At this time, the viper was approaching the beach. If it escaped into the sea by the "crystal", it would be in great trouble.

Odysseus then threw out a scroll with white light and chanted a spell in ancient Hermetic language: "Destiny!"

This is a scroll he made using the demigod-level materials of the "Monster" path that he obtained from the "School of Life".

A white light exploded, and the viper immediately curled up in great pain. At this time, it was plagued by "bad luck". The crystal it had just swallowed scratched its internal organs, so it curled up in pain.

However, the viper immediately seemed to have received some kind of order, and continued to crawl forward despite the severe pain.

It didn't notice that there was a sharp knife on the ground in front of it. The viper swam towards the knife. Then there was a sound of scissors cutting through thick cloth. The knife cut a big hole in its abdomen.

The style of that big knife looks a bit like the weapon of the elves. It might be something left by Deken Dediel and has long been buried by vegetation.

But the explosion just now turned it out of the soil again. The viper, who had just endured the severe pain, did not see it and was actually fatally injured.

The "crystal" that had been swallowed by the viper before was also unlucky and slipped out from the big hole in the viper's abdomen.

However, it still maintained its repulsive stance, and it was still difficult for Odysseus and others to get close.

So Odysseus threw out another high-level scroll: "Chaos!"

The only intelligence left in the "crystal" instantly became confused, and the force field disappeared instantly.

The light of morning light immediately condensed around the "Staff of Gus" in Odysseus's hand, forming a sharp and heavy two-handed sword.

Odysseus held the sword in both hands, flew over and stabbed the "crystal".

The "crystal" seemed to sense the danger and immediately flashed a bright light, but in the next second, Odysseus's heavy sword pierced the "crystal".

The heavy sword with the light of morning light paused for a moment, and with a light "snap" sound, the "crystal" was finally pierced into two pieces, and the light in the "crystal" quickly dimmed.

The spirits of Odysseus and others instantly felt that the "extraordinary feeling" from the rock just now to the current "crystal" disappeared.

Before the four people could say anything, the spirits suddenly sensed danger and they all looked up into the air at the same time.

Seven or eight small fireballs streaked across the sky and flew towards this side.

That was a meteor, the meteor that "Crystal" summoned "before death"!

There is actually nothing interesting about meteors during the day, especially those that are coming towards you, which are even less beautiful.

There was no time to escape from here if they used the "Flying Technique" now, so Odysseus quickly put away the "Staff of Gus" and opened the "Gate of Illusion". He placed one hand on Klein's shoulder and the other on Alger's shoulder, and the three of them entered the spirit world together.

The moment they entered the spirit world, a hand rested on Odysseus's shoulder.

He turned his head and saw that it was Hal who grabbed his shoulders, and the four of them entered the spirit world together.

Generally speaking, if we use the word "travel", it can only sustain three people traveling through the spirit world.

Now four people come in together, which is considered "severe overload".

After Odysseus persisted for two or three seconds, they returned to the real world from the spiritual world.

However, these two or three seconds were enough for them to move a certain distance in the real world and appear in the air not far from Whale Island.

The moment they returned to the real world, they just saw a meteor falling, and the first meteor blew the viper, which was not yet dead, into pieces of meat.

Boom~boom~
As the meteors fell one by one, several large pits were created where they had just been, and the ground was lifted up, revealing the rocks beneath the soil.

Many of the pirates on the beach were knocked down by the violent tremors.

A large number of trees were knocked down and set on fire by the shock wave, and the small Whale Island once again suffered a major disaster.

The four people breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were a little embarrassed when they escaped just now, the problem was finally solved.

They flew back to Whale Island, and Odysseus saw at a glance that his "portable spiritual wave cannon" was only knocked over and did not suffer too much damage.

Just as Vice Admiral Deep Sea's subordinates were about to go and meet the captain, they saw the captain and four others flying over from behind.

Afterwards, Hal took his men to take another look at the scene, and Odysseus asked Alger and Klein for help to dismantle the "portable spiritual wave cannon" and put it back into the "space array".

While dismantling the Spirit Wave Cannon, Klein warned, "This kind of thing must not fall into the hands of a 'secret organization'."

If such a shot were to hit Backlund, who knows how many people would die.

Odysseus smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have designed this cannon to prevent accidental injuries. And so far, only 'Elemental Dawn' can produce the 'Spirit Wave Cannon'."

Recently, Odysseus completed the transformation of each "Spirit Wave Cannon". He placed a signal receiver in each "Spirit Wave Cannon".

This signal receiver is the same design as the one in his previous pocket watch. As long as he presses the button, his pocket watch will light up.

After being promoted to "Astrologer", Odysseus can "remotely send" more complex signals and give each "Spirit Wave Cannon" the two commands of "No Fire" or "Self-destruction".

With such an arrangement, he dared to mass-produce the "Portable Lingbo Cannon".

Hearing Odysseus's answer, Klein said "hmm" and said nothing more.

The three men put away their cannons, and Hal came back with his men, holding two palm-sized black crystals in his hands.

Odysseus said, "One crystal is enough for you to report back. Give me a crystal and I will take it back to study it."

Hal was stunned for a moment before saying, "I can't give it to you. Although it no longer has any extraordinary reactions, if you come into contact with it for a long time, you will be affected by it."

Odysseus said: "Don't worry, I have a way to solve this problem."

Hal glanced at Odysseus's briefcase, then recalled his scrolls of demigod-level knowledge. He handed it to Odysseus and warned him, "Don't touch it for long."

Odysseus said "hmm", took a piece of crystal and casually put it into the "space array".

At this time, Hal's first mate rowed over with 1000 gold pounds. "Admiral of the Deep Sea" handed the gold pounds to Odysseus and said, "Are you here for the treasure of Deacon Dedil?"

Odysseus smiled and said nothing.

"My companions also found Whale Island and the stone through clues left by Deacon Dedil's subordinates." Hal Constantine said simply, "In view of your help just now, you can take a portion of the treasure from Deacon's treasure."

Because of their previous experience fighting together, Hal took the initiative to talk about the treasure: "But Daken's treasure belongs to the elves. You can't touch it."

Odysseus recalled the last words left by Daken, which seemed to mention that there were relics of the "Elf King" in the treasure.

That should be the more valuable thing in the treasure, so he took the gold pound handed to him by Hal and said: "The treasure in the sea belongs to whoever finds it.

"We can search separately. If you find the treasure first, we won't take the elven heritage."

Hal corrected him, "That can't be called 'inheritance', it should be called 'property'."

As he spoke, he recited a few incantations in ancient Hermetic language.

Odysseus and Klein suddenly had a bad feeling.

After Hal finished the spell, his ears suddenly began to point and grow longer, eventually turning into the pointed ears unique to the elves.

Although he had a premonition, Odysseus was still stunned and asked, "You...are you an elf?"

Hal looked at Admiral Mystery's surprised expression, smiled, and said, "It seems your history in the occult still needs improvement."

Then he put away his smile and said, "Constantine is an 'Elf Prince'!"

Odysseus was even more surprised: "The Ten Pillars of the Moss Ascetic Order actually have elves?"

Hal smiled and said, "Who says elves can't join the 'Moss Ascetic Order'?"

Odysseus was stunned for a moment when he heard the other party's question before asking, "Is Constantine a Beyonder of the Mysterious Prying Eye or the Universal Path?"

Hal seemed to think about it before saying, "I heard that in the beginning, there were no requirements for joining the 'Moss Ascetic Order'."

Odysseus nodded: "So that's how it is."

He also recalled his conversation with Theresa. The "librarian" said that the original members of the "Moss Ascetic Order" were all people, or living beings, who had seen the first "blasphemous slate".

Odysseus didn't take it seriously at the time, but only now did he realize that not all members of the "Moss Ascetic Order" were human.

Hal chanted a few more spells, and his ears gradually became smaller and rounder, eventually turning into normal human ears.

Odysseus took a deep breath and asked, "Are there still many elves in the human world now?"

In ancient times, the main way to distinguish elves was by temperament and ears.

Over the long years, the elves' temperaments have become similar to those of humans through intermarriage with humans and taking magic potions to advance themselves.

If their ears could also be hidden, it would be basically difficult to distinguish the elves hiding in the human world.

"Not that many," Hal Constantine said, "When the descendants of the elves are born, they still have pointed ears. Before they learn to use their own spiritual powers, they cannot interact with the outside world, so it is still very inconvenient.

"Furthermore, this secret technique is difficult to deceive demigods, and it is impossible to believe in the Seven Gods. It is difficult to truly integrate into human society."

The bottom layer of current human society is basically a "church society", where believers with the same faith will establish connections during worship or religious gatherings, help each other, and introduce each other to the channels they need.

Without such a process, it is easy to be excluded in human society.

However, if one pretends to believe in one of the seven gods, it will be easy to be exposed.

Except for the Church of Storms, other churches would not care about having one more elven believer, but for them, even if they have no ill will towards the elves, they still have to find out the background of this elf.

This is something most elves cannot accept.

Hal Constantine continued, "Therefore, I and the Constantine family have sufficient control over the elves' property, as well as the final right of ownership."

Odysseus laughed and said, "We are 'pirate generals', not a group of gentlemen who abide by the law."

Hal was somewhat stunned, puzzled as to how Admiral Mystery managed to switch instantly between Extraordinary Scholar and Pirate. He cleared his throat and said, "In light of the contributions you have just made, I will allow you to join me on this exploration."

At this point, Hal smiled and announced, "That treasure can only be opened by elves."

He glanced at Alger and said, "And your companion is only a 'half-elf' and cannot do what is required to open the treasure."

"Opening the treasure is none of your business." Odysseus also said with a smile: "Since we have found this place, we have made full preparations."

Although Alger and Klein appeared quite calm, they knew in their hearts that they had no intention of doing so.

The reason why Odysseus said that was because he was confident that he could use the magic circle to bypass the "identification system" of those mechanisms. He had done this more than once or twice.

Hal frowned. "Where did you find the elf blood?"

In fact, to open that mechanism, you only need the blood of the elves, and the elves don't have to be present.

However, if Hal said this right at the beginning, he would easily be surrounded and his blood would be taken.

That's why he planned to negotiate how to divide the treasure, and then confess the matter after finding the mechanism that hid the treasure.

Odysseus smiled and said, "If you only need the blood of the elves, then I will be more confident."

Hal Constantine realized he had spoken out of turn and quickly said, "All the treasures that Deken Dedil robbed can be yours, but you cannot take any property that belongs to the elves."

He paused and said, "This is also for your own good. Do you want to be targeted by the Church of Storms? They always investigate the elven property thoroughly."

Then he seemed to remember something and said, "And there may not be any sealed objects in those properties. They are just some bows and arrows used by the elves, which can barely be considered antiques.

"We're looking for these things out of nostalgia. Do you want to offend the Church of Storms over a few antiques?"

Odysseus, Klein, and the others were all stunned. They had always thought that the legacy of the elves would be some magical items of the "Sailor" path. If they really didn't have any extraordinary effects, then it didn't matter whether they took them or not.

But to prevent Hal from lying, Odysseus asked, "What if there are magical items inside?"

"Then we'll divide it among the four of us." Hal smiled and said, "If you don't need it urgently, I can buy the portion you have with gold pounds."

Odysseus knew from Hal's expression that there was probably no magical item in the treasure that belonged to the elves' heritage.

Moreover, Daken Dedil was fighting the Church of Storms at the time, so it was highly unlikely that he would put the magical items into the treasure chest.

Daken Dedir also died at the hands of the Church of the Storm, and his trait will not be in the treasure.

There may only be some valuables in that treasure.

Thinking of this, Odysseus exchanged a glance with Klein and Alger, then smiled and said, "No problem. The treasure inside and the extraordinary creatures hunted along the way will belong to us, and the elves' heritage... I mean, the elves' property will belong to you.

"If there are magical items among the property, we will discuss this separately."

Hal Constantine immediately said, "Yes."

As they spoke, the two men shook hands, indicating that the negotiation results were acceptable to both parties.

Odysseus smiled and said, "Then let's talk about the clues we each have. Our clue is that the treasure may be in the pool on Whale Island."

Hal Constantine smiled and said, "We have received similar clues."

Then he asked, "Where did you get the clue?"

Odysseus did not hide it: "In the last words of Deacon Dedil."

Hal was stunned: "Do you understand 'Old Elvish'?"

He didn't learn it.

Odysseus said vaguely: "Someone among the people I know understands."

Klein noticed that the "Hermit" used the word "acquaintance" instead of "friend." He thought to himself: He wasn't lying. He knew "ancient elven language," so of course he knew himself.

Then Odysseus asked, "Where did you get this clue?"

Hal had nothing to hide. "One of Deacon Dediel's subordinates was once protected by the Constantine family. Not long ago, we accidentally obtained his notes and learned that the treasure is here."

Odysseus exchanged a glance with Klein and Alger. They estimated that the treasure might indeed contain no extraordinary properties. "Deep Sea Vice Admiral" had "inside information," but still decided to take only the elves' property and was willing to divide up the magical items within. This meant that the treasure truly did not contain any extraordinary items.

After a brief communication, "Deep Sea Vice Admiral" gave a few instructions to his subordinates, and then went to the pool on Whale Island with Odysseus and the other three.

The four people flew here. They looked around the pool and found that it was indeed very deep. They could not see the bottom as far as the eye could see, but they could see many fish swimming.

Alger glanced down and said in a deliberately hoarse voice, "It should be down there."

Odysseus said, "I feel there is some danger down there."

Klein nodded slowly; he felt the same way.

Odysseus asked Crane, "Do you do the divination or do I do the divination?"

"Let me do it." Klein silently recited the divination, flicked up a coin, caught it with his hand, glanced at the coin's color, and said, "There's a certain risk, but it's within an acceptable range."

Before Klein was promoted to Sequence 5, he could only use coins to make divination results of affirmative or negative. However, after the promotion, he could use coins to divine more information.

Hal Constantine frowned and said, "The notebook doesn't say there's any danger in the pool."

Odysseus said, "Daken Dediel seems to have been dead for over a hundred years?"

Vice Admiral Deep Sea understood that Admiral Mystery meant that many changes must have taken place over the past hundred years.

"Since it's within the 'acceptable range', we just need to be careful." Odysseus smiled and said, "Perhaps some extraordinary creature already lives here.

"With the four of us working together, we should be able to handle it, and we can also obtain extraordinary materials."

Everyone smiled faintly. The combined strength of the four of them was indeed very strong, and any problems below the level of demigod should be able to be solved relatively easily.

At that moment, the four of them had a brief discussion. Hal and Alger went into the water first to explore the way, while Odysseus and Klein supported them by the pool.

The two extraordinary people from the "Sailor" path jumped into the water without any hesitation.

Almost at that moment, a layer of phantom scales appeared on their bodies, making them as agile as fish in the water. In just a moment, they had penetrated to the limit of Odysseus and Klein's vision.

After about seven or eight minutes, the two people swam back quickly.

Alger simply wiped the water from his face and continued calmly, "There's a cave entrance down there, isolated from the seawater. We found some 'ancient elven' symbols deep in the cave."

Odysseus asked, "You haven't encountered any extraordinary creatures?"

"No." Alger was also a little surprised. This was a little different from the divination results of "the world".

The two people were always cautious, but in the end they encountered nothing.

Odysseus thought for a moment before saying, "First, draw out those 'ancient elven characters' for me to see."

Alger agreed, picked up a branch, and drew the "ancient elven characters" he saw one by one.

Hal, who was standing by, finally realized that the person who understood the "ancient elven language" was the "Admiral of Mysteries".

In his impression, only the elders in the family understood this ancient text, and those elders were also scholars in the family, and each of them looked steady and sophisticated.

Let’s look at the “Secret Admiral”. Not only is he young, but sometimes when bargaining begins, he almost immediately denies what he just said.

This gave Hal a sense of disconnection.

Odysseus read the "ancient elven text" and translated, "The first two sentences encourage fellow elves to fight the Church of Storms. The latter part says that at the bottom of this pool, there is a special mechanism. If you open it in the right way, you will find the way to the treasure."

After the translation, Odysseus asked Hal Constantine, "Does the note tell me how to open the mechanism?"

Hal shook his head: "No, he didn't even mention there was a mechanism.

"Just say that only the elves can trigger the path to the treasure."

Odysseus nodded: "It seems that only Daken knows how to open the mechanism."

He paused and said, "I'll go down and take a look. Maybe I can find a way to open the mechanism."

Since the last hint in the cave did not mention how to open the mechanism, it should be possible to open it using some "universal" method, otherwise Deacon would not have failed to give his compatriots some hints.

Since there was no need to stay outside the pool, Klein also wanted to go in the water.

So the two of them prepared, Odysseus used the "Diving Scroll" and Klein had a tube that allowed him to breathe underwater.

Although the two people swam a little slowly in the water, they were able to move underwater for a period of time.

After Odysseus used the scroll, two gills grew under his ears and long webbed feet appeared on his feet. After jumping into the water, although he was not as agile as Alger and Hal, he swam faster.

Only Klein didn't show any noticeable changes. When he jumped into the water, his speed was about the same as a normal person's.

This operation was not urgent, so the four people dived slowly.

After diving to a certain depth, the surrounding light began to dim. Diving further down, it seemed as if darkness had arrived early.

When he could no longer see the surrounding stone walls, Odysseus took out the "Soul Storage Crystal" he had prepared long ago, illuminated the surroundings, and continued to dive.

Just after swimming down twice, he suddenly heard a voice saying, "Give me this crystal."

Odysseus was stunned. He looked at Hal on his left, then at Klein behind him. It wasn't them who were talking, and they were underwater. Even if they were talking, Odysseus probably wouldn't be able to hear what they were saying.

So Odysseus thought in his mind: Who are you?
But there was no response.

Odysseus was stunned. Wasn't that voice just now communicating in a spiritual way?

At this moment, the same voice rang in his ears again: "This crystal is so beautiful."

Odysseus stopped for a moment and began to look around.

Hal noticed Odysseus's hesitation and asked, "What's wrong?"

Odysseus was stunned for a moment, and asked while gesturing with his hands: Can you talk underwater?
Hal quickly understood Odysseus's "sign language" and said, "The Ocean Singer can communicate normally underwater."

Odysseus seemed to understand something immediately. He raised the "Staff of Gus", and the staff first flashed with bright starlight, and then turned into a bright light, enough to illuminate the entire pool.

The sudden bright light made the four people's eyes feel uncomfortable.

But soon, everyone else understood why Odysseus did this. At the moment the strong light appeared, a golden jellyfish hid in a cave on the rock wall.

Hal recognized it immediately: "That's a 'Golden Echo Jellyfish'!"

The other party had just disguised itself as a normal sea creature and had no intention of attacking Odysseus and the others, so their spirits did not even notice it.

The bright starlight on Odysseus's staff reappeared, and the surrounding sea water suddenly receded rapidly, forming an oxygen-rich space supported by bubbles underwater.

Without Odysseus's words, Alger had already flown over. He realized that it was likely one of the main ingredients for advancement to Sequence 5.

Odysseus also used the "flying magic" to fly over. He used his staff to shine on the cave where the jellyfish had entered. The cave was only as thick as an adult's arm. It was very winding inside and the end of the cave could not be seen.

The "Golden Echo Jellyfish" had long since drilled into the depths of the cave and was no longer visible.

Odysseus asked Hal, "What can you do?"

Because he was in the "bubbles" in the water, Odysseus's voice had a slight echo.

Hal thought about it for a while, then grabbed a stream of sea water from outside the "bubble". Under his control, the sea water drilled into the cave.

After a few seconds, Hal pointed to the bottom of the rock face and said, "It's probably around there, but it has a strong advantage in the water. I can't pull it out."

"It will be easy once we roughly know where it is." Odysseus pushed the surrounding "bubbles" downwards, roughly to the position Hal pointed.

He raised the "Staff of Gus" in his hand, and a ray of starlight hit the rock, forming a dazzling vortex. The rock was drilled open like tofu by Odysseus using the "Starlight Pillar".

Soon they drilled a deep hole and found the "Golden Echo Jellyfish".
