Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 322 The Elf King's Divine Blood
With the cooperation of Odysseus and others, they quickly found the extraordinary creature that the "Hanged Man" Alger needed: a golden jellyfish.

The jellyfish obviously didn't expect these humans to find it so quickly, so it tried to continue hiding in the cave.

The "Staff of Guth" in Odysseus's hand flashed, and the sea water inside the cave suddenly condensed and turned into sharp spikes, pushing out the "Golden Echo Jellyfish".

A mouth-like structure suddenly opened on the top of the golden jellyfish. Just as it uttered a melodious syllable and attacked everyone's spirits, Klein had already found its "spiritual line" and quickly completed initial control.

The huge jellyfish suddenly became sluggish and could no longer produce the syllables that struck the soul.

Alger immediately summoned wind blades, cutting the "Golden Echo Jellyfish" into several sections.

This Sequence 5 level extraordinary creature was killed just like that.

Alger looked at the other three people and said, "I can take less of the other spoils later."

Only after obtaining consent from others did Alger put away the jellyfish.

Odysseus said, "I have another main material for the 'Ocean Singer'. How about selling it to you at a lower price?"

Alger was stunned for a moment and quickly asked, "How much does it cost?"

Odysseus offered: "3600 pounds."

Alger sighed: This is very cheap!
Generally, the main material of Sequence 5 level will sell for at least 4000 pounds.

In particular, the extraordinary materials from the "Sailor" route would be sold for at least 6000 pounds on the sea.

But before Alger could agree, Odysseus said, "But I have a condition."

Alger quickly said, "Go ahead."

"After taking the main ingredients you need from the jellyfish, give me the remaining spiritual materials." Odysseus said, "Well, because you may still need some spiritual materials from the jellyfish, I can give you the spiritual materials you need for free after you get the formula."

Generally speaking, in the Sequence 5 potion formula, two of the auxiliary ingredients are usually obtained from extraordinary creatures that contain the main ingredient.

The reason why Odysseus wanted jellyfish was because his demand for spiritual materials was like a bottomless pit.

Occult research requires consumable materials, and making extraordinary weapons requires extraordinary materials. If you open a "scroll shop" in the future, even more spiritual materials will be needed.

Sequence 5 spiritual materials are already very advanced. Odysseus can use such materials to design scrolls with effects far superior to ordinary scrolls.

After hearing Odysseus' request, Alger let out a sigh, "No problem."

Hal Constantine watched the two men's transaction quietly without saying anything.

After discussing this matter, the "bubble" created by Odysseus before reached its limit, and the sea water gradually surged in.

At this time, Klein said to Odysseus, "I would like to borrow a 'Diving Scroll' and pay with gold pounds when the exploration is completed."

He has basically reached the limit of his diving. If he dives deeper, it will be difficult to breathe through his trachea.

"No need to borrow it, I'll give it to you directly." Odysseus said generously.

Although he didn't have as many "Diving Scrolls" as "Flying Scrolls" stored in the "Wilderness of Knowledge", he still had dozens of them. He didn't feel bad at all about giving one to Klein.

Hearing Odysseus' generosity, Klein took the scroll without hesitation, chanted a spell, and grew gills and webbed feet.

The four people continued to dive until the surroundings became pitch black and there were not even many fish swimming around. Finally, they reached the bottom of the pool.

Under the illumination of the "Soul Storage Crystal", Odysseus looked around and soon found the extraordinary mechanism that was already full of marine life.

It was a turntable about one meter in diameter with a handle on the outside, which obviously could be turned.

But now it can't turn anymore. It's covered with marine creatures with hard shells. Many of these creatures have completely covered the turntable with their long-term secretions, making it look like something that was originally on the seabed.

At this time, Hal opened his mouth and made a somewhat harsh sound. The surrounding marine creatures immediately fled, and the creatures on the extraordinary mechanism also slowly left.

Alger, standing by, raised his hand and used the surrounding seawater to wash away the traces left by the creatures.

Soon, the entire turntable appeared. A circle of extraordinary characters and five spaces appeared on the stone pillar in the middle of the turntable. There was also a small groove in the center of the top of the turntable.

Six runes appeared on the rotating turntable.

Odysseus swam closer and took a look, and immediately recognized that this was an "activation array" made with "ancient elven language".

By rotating five of the six runes on the magic circle turntable to the correct position, you can successfully piece together the complete magic circle.

Generally, this kind of magic array is part of a "complex magic array" and is rarely used independently.

At this time, Hal asked, "Can you open it?"

Odysseus simply raised his staff again and used a huge "bubble" to expand the sea water, forming a waterless space.

"It can be opened," Odysseus said, "as long as the other parts of the magic circle are still functional."

Then he asked, "Does the Constantine family still possess some advanced magic arrays?"

Hal Constantine paused for a moment before answering, "I'm not sure about that."

Odysseus looked at the turntable in front of him and said, "This mechanism uses a very advanced magic array. As far as I know, very few people in the Fifth Epoch still master 'complex magic arrays'.

"I thought the elves possessed some unique mystical knowledge."

"Dakken Dedeer is an elven scholar with extensive knowledge of the mysticism," Hal said. "According to his subordinates' notes, Daken said he was fortunate to be recognized by the Elf King's relics, which allowed him to acquire such knowledge all at once."

Odysseus nodded: "That makes sense."

After saying that, he began to spin the wheel in front of him and soon put the first character into a blank space.

Because there are six characters on the wheel and only five spaces on the central stone pillar, it is difficult to find the correct way to open it through simple trial and error.

Only with sufficient knowledge of mysticism can one activate the magic circle correctly.

This was exactly Odysseus's strength. It took him only half a minute to put the five characters on the turntable into the correct positions, forming a complete circle of "ancient elven script" magic circle.

The moment the last character slid into the correct position, a circle of "ancient elven text" emitted a faint light.

But there was only a faint light, and then no other reaction.

Klein, Alger, and Hal all looked at Odysseus, but Odysseus said to Hal, "It's your turn."

Hal immediately understood, took out a dagger, cut his finger, and dripped blood into the groove of the middle stone pillar.

Click~
With a slight sound, the extraordinary mechanism started normally.

Odysseus looked around, but no cave appeared.

He frowned and was about to check the magic circle again when suddenly an upward force appeared under his feet, and Odysseus and others instantly dived into the water again.

It was only a second later that they realized that the ground beneath their feet was rapidly rising.

Odysseus was a little surprised: Could it be that I made a mistake in operation, and the extraordinary mechanism wants to send us out of the pool?

A few seconds later, Odysseus and others suddenly broke through the water and returned to the surface of the pool.

But the ground beneath their feet continued to rise, and the speed of rise was getting faster and faster.

Odysseus came to the edge and looked down. It turned out that there was a magic circle on the lower side of the ground. At this time, the magic circle was flashing with blue light, and it was obvious that the magic circle was working at full capacity.

Odysseus also understood: "So Deken Dedil's treasure is in the sky!"

The wind howled, almost drowning out Odysseus's voice.

The others also understood and found it a bit unbelievable. After all, Deacon Dedil was just a pirate, but he had such a sophisticated arrangement.

Odysseus realized that the relic of the "Elf King" in Daken's hand should be a very important thing, and may even contain some residual will of the "Elf King", which can allow anyone who obtains the item to obtain a lot of advanced mystical knowledge.

The main target of "Deep Sea Admiral" Hal, or the Constantine family, is that item.

However, the item should look normal under normal circumstances. It is very likely that only the elves can sense its unusualness, so Hal was so confident and bold to share the magical item with us.

After thinking about this, Odysseus fell into deep thought, hesitating whether to destroy the plan of "Vice Admiral of the Deep Sea".

Good things like this are rare, and it would be a shame to let them go. However, in his heart, Odysseus actually admired organizations like the Constantine Family, which had been quietly clearing the Outer Gods' influence on the real world.

In the end, Odysseus decided that as long as it was applicable to the elves, he would pretend not to see it.

But if it is not very useful for the elves, and he can suppress the negative effects through the "Wild Knowledge", then discuss it with Hal, and at worst compensate him with something else.

While Odysseus was thinking, they had already risen to a very high altitude, even far beyond the scope of "flying".

Some thin clouds have appeared under their feet.

The Whale Island was already very small, and the sea surface under Odysseus and the others' feet seemed to have a curve.

Just then, they crashed into a layer of cloud and fog.

The feeling was very wonderful. There were surging clouds all around, and I could almost smell the scent of rain at the tip of my nose.

Two or three seconds later, they broke through the clouds and saw the bright sun again.

Under its illumination, the clouds surge like a rushing tide.

At this time, they saw a small mountain in the sky above their heads.

The mountain peaks are covered with dense vegetation, forming a striking patch of green above the clouds.

A flock of birds took off from the woods and flew to the other side of the mountain, looking very leisurely.

A feeling of paradise comes to you.

When he got closer, Odysseus noticed that at the base of the protruding rocks on the mountain was a very complex magic circle.

This magic circle looked familiar. He thought carefully and remembered that when he went to the "Ruins of the War of Gods" before, he encountered a floating island with a golden Pegasus.

There are four giant diamond pillars at the bottom of the island, and the magic array on the four pillars is very similar to the magic array under the mountain.

Odysseus has reason to believe that the magic circle on the diamond pillar should have originally come from the elves, and Deken Dedil should have obtained the corresponding knowledge from the "Elf King".

The ground beneath the four people's feet rose up and stopped on the side of the floating mountain.

At this time, Odysseus noticed that the mountain was somewhat crooked, and there seemed to be something wrong with the magic circle.

Come to think of it, no one has maintained it for over a hundred years, and it's not as luxurious as the floating island in the "Ruins of the Gods' War" where the magic circle is engraved on diamond.

It is already very good that most of the magic arrays on this mountain are still functioning normally.

The four men jumped down from the small patch of ground one after another. Hal said with emotion, "I didn't expect Deacon Dedill to have such a design."

Alger nodded slowly. Before coming here, he also thought that it was just a pirate's treasure, perhaps hidden a little deep and difficult to find.

Only then did he realize the weight of the "Legendary Pirate".

At this time, a loud cry attracted their attention. Two huge sea eagles appeared in the air one after another. They circled in the air as if patrolling their territory, staring at Odysseus and the other four uninvited guests.

Alger was somewhat surprised: "'Dragon Eye Sea Eagle', and two of them!"

This is an extraordinary creature from the "Sailor" pathway, and their eyes are one of the main ingredients of the "Wind-loving" potion.

The market price of each pair of eyes is around 2000 pounds, and at sea, it can be sold for at least 2500 pounds.

With almost no hesitation, Odysseus raised the "Staff of Gus", with the top of the staff shining brightly with stars.

The two sea eagles were suddenly covered with starlight, which quickly condensed to form a "cage" that trapped the two sea eagles in an instant.

Klein raised his gloved hand: "Death!"

This is the "Filth Words" ability of the "Apostle of Desire" that was just herded.

The two sea eagles felt as if their hearts were being gripped and fell from the sky together.

Alger summoned a hurricane with wind blades, and with two "puffs", the necks of the two sea eagles were cut off.

These two extraordinary creatures of Sequence 6 were completely vulnerable under the cooperation of Odysseus and the other three.

"Vice Admiral of the Deep Sea" didn't even plan to take action. After all, he had no right to divide these extraordinary materials.

Seeing the Dragon Eye Sea Eagle being killed, Odysseus quickly put away his staff, took out a glass bottle and ran over: "What a waste! What a waste!"

As he spoke, he used the corresponding "witchcraft" to collect the blood of the "Longyan Sea Eagle" into a glass bottle.

After collecting three bottles in total, Odysseus said, "I can take less money from selling the 'Longan Sea Eagle' trait later."

"No need," Klein said from behind. "The spiritual materials on the Dragon Eye Sea Eagle belong to you. They count as payment for the six scrolls you gave me earlier."

Odysseus said without hesitation, "Okay." "I have a 'Space Array'. I'll put it away first and we can share it later."

Klein hummed, and Alger remained silent throughout the entire process, as he certainly would not participate in the division of the extraordinary materials.

Having made a great harvest right from the start, Odysseus was in a good mood. He looked around and soon found a road paved with stone slabs.

The road has been covered by weeds, but the stone slabs can still be vaguely seen.

Following this not-so-easy stone road, the four people soon found a cave hidden by trees. The treasure should be inside.

So they made final preparations, with Alger leading the way, Odysseus and Klein walking in the middle, and Hal bringing up the rear. The four of them lined up and entered the cave.

After entering the cave, the four people first heard the sound of dripping water, as if this single mountain also contained abundant water resources.

Odysseus used the "Soul Storage Crystal" to illuminate the cave again. The cave was wet and water was dripping everywhere.

The water droplets "dribbled" out small puddles, so you can hear the dripping sound.

There is a small stream connecting the puddles and flowing out of the cave.

This kind of environment makes the cave full of moss and very slippery to walk on.

The further you go inside, the less moss there is, but the water resources become more and more abundant.

After walking for about ten minutes, the front suddenly opened up and there was a huge space.

Odysseus controlled the "Soul Storage Crystal" to become higher, illuminating the cave in front of him. This space was about the size of a small square. Except for a small island in the center, the surrounding area was completely covered by water.

It looked like a small lake with a small island in the middle above the water.

Under the bright sunlight that seemed like an energy-saving lamp, the small island reflected a golden light, on which there was a small pile of gold coins and various gold utensils and gold bars.

A smile appeared on Odysseus's face: "I made a profit this time."

Judging from the visual evidence, the gold was worth at least 1 pounds, plus the "Dragon Eye Sea Eagle" just now, Odysseus thought: Cruz Island is rich again.

Although Klein maintained a stern expression on the surface, he was actually beaming with joy on the inside.

In addition to the small pile of gold, there were also many elven-style bows and crossbows, swords, and some gold or silver items.

Although the target was right in front of them, the four people did not rush over immediately. According to past experience, the closer they got to the final step, the more likely there would be a powerful trap.

The four of them are all experienced people, and of course they will not be careless at this time.

They moved forward cautiously, exploring the way bit by bit.

The water in the "small lake" in front of me is very shallow, only slightly above the ankles, but it is very turbid and I can't see the depth of the "lake bottom".

Suddenly, their spirits sensed danger, and the four of them immediately retreated. However, as soon as they lifted their feet, they found that their feet seemed to be poured into cement, and were firmly grasped by the water under their feet, and they could not lift them at all.

At this time, the originally calm water surface surged, forming four huge whirlpools.

Odysseus quickly reached out to grab the scroll. At this moment, arcs of electricity suddenly emerged from the water. Odysseus and Klein trembled all over and felt that they were drooling uncontrollably.

Although Hal and Alger were in better condition, they were also paralyzed by the electric shock.

Especially Hal, after he was promoted to "Ocean Singer", he was no longer afraid of any electrical attacks, but he actually lost his ability to move for a short period of time.

But then he breathed a sigh of relief, because the thing that created the vortex and electric arc was the main purpose of his trip.

Moreover, he was very sure that as the only one among the four people with elven blood, the item would definitely choose him.

After the four people lost their ability to resist, they were sucked into different whirlpools.

The "Diving Scroll" that Odysseus had used just now was still effective, and he was not choked by the water. He was not very panicked because his hands were able to move again.

As the swirling water spun, Odysseus felt himself being rapidly "sucked into" a small cave, and he bumped into the stone wall several times.

Fortunately, the arm guard he wore on his forearm would create a layer of illusory black armor all over his body when he was injured, helping him to withstand the damage caused by the collision.

The next moment, the rushing water suddenly disappeared.

Odysseus looked around and found himself under a sky full of dark clouds, lightning and thunder.

In addition to the sound of thunder and lightning, Odysseus also heard the sound of surging waves, as if there was a storm on the sea.

He looked at the scene in front of him quietly, as if he saw the most terrifying natural disaster, which made his heart tremble.

Click~
A loud thunderclap made Odysseus break out in a thin sweat. He felt as if his entire brain had become slow due to fear, and his thoughts had become slow.

The lightning intertwined to form a human figure, with its feet stepping on the surging waves. The silver-white electric light seemed to solidify, and arcs flashed around it, making the human figure look very sacred.

The figure raised his hand slightly, and the "Staff of Gus" on Odysseus' waist immediately flew into his hand.

Amid the crackling sound of the electric arc, Odysseus vaguely heard a deep voice uttering a word in the "ancient elven language": "Gus."

Odysseus felt that the other party was examining him, as if his soul was seen through by the other party.

At this time, the "electric man" let out a long sigh and said in ancient Elven language: "You haven't found the way to defeat the extraordinary."

Odysseus spoke in a trembling voice, using the ancient Elven language he wasn't very proficient in: "What is... the path to 'overcoming the extraordinary'?"

The "Electric Man" said to himself: "It's been too long, too long..."

Odysseus realized that it was impossible to communicate with the Electric Man.

The Electric Man raised the Gus Staff and looked at it as if he were appreciating a work of art. He said, "Although our philosophies differ, I will still give them to you."

The "Electric Man" raised his hand slightly, and the "Staff of Gus" flew back to Odysseus' waist.

It suddenly turned into arcs of electricity, making crackling sounds in the air.

Click~
There was another loud thunder, and the "lightning man" disappeared, along with the sound of the surging waves, lightning, and dark clouds.

The fear lingering in Odysseus' heart gradually dissipated, and he realized that he was already sweating coldly.

Odysseus was breathing heavily, but his spirituality made him immediately lower his head and avoid looking straight ahead.

But the glimpse he had just seen in a trance had already caused a huge shock to Odysseus's spirit. Fortunately, he was protected by the "Wilderness of Knowledge" and did not suffer any substantial harm.

The next second, spiritual perception made a picture appear in Odysseus's mind. Above the stone platform in front of him, three drops of blood that looked like red jade were suspended.

Although there were only three drops, each drop of blood seemed to be surging.

Divine blood!

The fear disappeared, and Odysseus, who regained his ability to think, immediately realized.

This is divine blood!

The divine blood of the "Elf King"!

At this moment, Odysseus understood that the relics of the "Elf King" mentioned in Deken Dedil's last words were these three drops of divine blood.

There may have been four drops originally, but Deken Dediel luckily or unfortunately merged one drop.

That drop of divine blood gave him a lot of advanced mystical knowledge, but also made him extremely violent, and at the same time, he gained power beyond his original level.

It could even be said that he turned into a monster, but he didn't lose control immediately.

Now if you think about it, Daken Dedil's choices and actions were terrible. He only had the power of a "Pirate King", but he chose to challenge the true ruler of the sea, the Church of Storms.

Such a choice was extremely naive and unwise, as it left the elves' limited strength scattered on the sea.

Daken may have lost his mind at the time, and even often thought that he was the "Elf King". Therefore, in his last words, he often called on his fellow elves to restore the glory of the elves.

The last bit of sanity left in Deacon made him arrange this treasure and place the remaining three drops of divine blood here, hoping that his fellow elves could obtain them in the future and revitalize the elves.

The "electric man" just now was actually a trace of consciousness left by the "Elf King" in the divine blood. This trace of consciousness did not have complete thoughts and could not complete communication. It could only simply express some of its own ideas.

Thinking of this, Odysseus realized that since the consciousness of the "Elf King" had chosen him, he should put it away quickly.

Not daring to touch this kind of thing directly, Odysseus took out the sub-array of the "Space Array" and then directly covered the array on the stone platform. In this way, he collected the three drops of divine blood into the "Wilderness of Knowledge".

The moment he took in the divine blood, Odysseus's whole spirit relaxed, as if he had suddenly returned to a normal environment from an extremely stressful one.

After taking a deep breath, Odysseus looked around and found that there was a small cave around him. The sense of vastness as if he was standing on the sea just now disappeared in an instant.

wow~
Water began to pour in from the surrounding holes, and in a blink of an eye, it covered Odysseus' mouth and nose.

Although Odysseus was mentally prepared, he still felt some psychological pressure when he encountered the flood in the cave.

He pulled out the "Staff of Gus" and summoned bright starlight. He saw that the water quickly filled the cave, and a large hole appeared on the top. It seemed that he was "sent" in from there by the whirlpool.

Odysseus swam upstream from there, following the winding cave and soon reached the water surface.

But he was still in the slippery cave, so Odysseus raised the "Staff of Gus", and in the starlight, a solid step leading upward was formed.

Odysseus quickly climbed up the "Starlight Stairs" and soon walked out of the cave.

He found himself back in the large space that looked like a small lake, except that the water in the "lake" had disappeared and turned into a wet cave.

Odysseus observed his surroundings before quickly walking to the "Central Island." At this time, Alger returned second via "Wind Control."

Almost two or three seconds later, Klein and Hal came back one after another, but Hal looked confused, not understanding why he had not found the divine blood of the "Elf King"?

Odysseus asked as if nothing had happened, "Were you also sucked into other caves just now?"

After briefly communicating with Klein and Alger, they were indeed sucked into another cave. Then, the small cave was suddenly filled with water, and they swam back in a daze.

After listening to this, Hal asked, "You...you didn't encounter anything else?"

Odysseus smiled and asked, "What should I encounter?"

Things like the divine blood of the "Elf King" belong to the Constantine family, and nothing good will come of it if they get it. Deken Dedil is a lesson learned.

Odysseus had already made a decision before. When encountering such a situation, he would use the "Wilderness of Knowledge" to put this thing away, and when he had the chance in the future, he would take care of the "Deep Sea Vice Admiral".

Hal was stunned by Odysseus's question and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Klein and Alger noticed that the other party seemed to be hiding something, but now was not the time to discuss this issue.

Boom~
The cave suddenly shook violently, and a huge crack appeared on the top.

Odysseus took out the secondary array of the "Space Array": "Quick, collect the things."

He realized that after he collected the three drops of divine blood, the magic circle under the mountain showed signs of collapse.

Klein and Alger didn't know what was going on, but they knew they needed to race against time to collect the spoils.

It was still Alger who opened the magic circle, and Odysseus used "magic" to make the pile of gold flow into the "wilderness of knowledge" like water.

Hal also acted quickly at this time. Without time to discuss with Odysseus, he summoned a hurricane, sweeping the elves' belongings into the "space magic circle".

Boom boom boom!

The entire cave shook violently.

The four people either used "wind control" or "flying skills" to fly quickly outside.

The shaking of the cave became more and more violent, the cracks became larger and more numerous, huge rocks fell from the top of their heads, and the landslide almost followed the four people.

In just a few seconds, they flew out one after another.

At this time, the birds in the woods had already been startled, and the entire mountain was split into several sections in the middle and was slowly descending.

As Odysseus flew towards the edge of the mountain, he said, "You go ahead, I'll go take a look at the bottom of the mountain!"

Previously, the "Ruins of the War of Gods" was too dangerous, so Odysseus suppressed his curiosity and did not have time to observe the magic circle on the diamond pillar.

Although it looks dangerous now, Odysseus has the ability to protect himself, and he must go and see the ancient "levitation magic circle" no matter what.

Odysseus leaped and came to the bottom of the mountain. At this time, the mountain was falling faster and faster, and many rocks were falling towards him.

He raised his gauntleted hand, and a "spider leg" more than two meters long stretched out from it, splitting the rock open or cutting it in half.

Odysseus tried his best to concentrate on memorizing the magic circle in front of him. When he flew around the mountain, the entire mountain had been completely shattered into several pieces and was rapidly falling towards Whale Island.

Only then did he fly away from the danger zone with peace of mind and fall down with the mountain.
