Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 323 The Magical Uses of Divine Blood

The huge mountain crashed into Whale Island, causing a strong wind. Although the flagship of "Deep Sea Vice Admiral" took emergency shelter in advance, it was almost overturned.

Odysseus, Klein and the other four looked at the Whale Island, which had been completely destroyed, and for a moment they all marveled at its extraordinary destructive power.

After the strong wind passed, and all the mountains and rocks fell on the island, the collision and collapse between them ended, and the dust was blown away by the sea breeze, Odysseus and the other four landed on the beach again.

Odysseus glanced at the newly piled mountains on Whale Island before saying to Klein and the others, "Let's divide the spoils first."

As he spoke, he took out the gold, elven-style weapons, and extraordinary materials of the "Dragon Eye Sea Eagle" that he had just collected from the "Wilderness of Knowledge".

Odysseus pointed at the elves' weapons and said to Hal, "According to our previous agreement, these weapons are all yours."

These weapons are obviously antiques, but they still look very sharp. What surprised Odysseus is that most of them still retain some spirituality and are considered extraordinary weapons.

They have a history of at least hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, yet they still possess the characteristics of extraordinary weapons.

This made Odysseus look at the elves' "manufacturing" with new eyes. Before, he always thought that such a violent race would not have too many sophisticated industries.

But now it seems that is not necessarily the case.

Hal nodded and immediately squatted down to touch the elven weapons one by one.

He also didn't know what form the "Elf King's" divine blood took. Perhaps it was hidden in one of the weapons.

Odysseus pointed at the gold and said, "I have a channel to process gold. I will handle this gold, and we will split the gold pounds in the ratio of 4:4:2."

Just as Alger was about to say he didn't want the gold, Odysseus raised his hand and said, "Listen to me. The characteristics of the two 'Dragon Eye Sea Eagle' will belong to Gehrman Sparrow and me."

After saying this, he looked at Klein, asking for his opinion with his eyes.

Of course he would not take out the "Elf King's" divine blood to divide up. Everyone would want to take such a thing for themselves, and it would also expose that the "Elf King's" divine blood was in his hands.

Likewise, Odysseus decided to take care of Klein and Alger when he had the chance in the future, as a way of making up for their losses in this division.

Klein nodded: "No problem."

Then he added, "Give me those gold coins, and I can save some gold pounds."

Odysseus took out the "Staff of Gus" and used "witchcraft" to separate the gold coins. He also used his spiritual power to complete the inventory. "There are more than 2000 in total, including some antique gold coins. It's pounds."

Klein had no objection: "Okay."

In Deken Dedil's time, Rune gold coins were quite common, and most of them had a denomination of 1 pound.

But the value of antique gold coins ranges from 1 to 10 pounds, and the price offered by Odysseus is fair.

At this time, Hal said, "I can buy your two copies of 'Dragon Eye Sea Eagle's Eyes'. How about 4500 pounds?"

Odysseus said, "4800 pounds, otherwise I could definitely get Bayam to trade."

"Okay, then it's 4800 pounds. Come with me to the ship to get the money." Hal Constantine agreed readily.

Odysseus used the "flying spell" to take off with Hal, and Klein and Alger followed.

Hal said, "You two, I still want to discuss the deal for the Extraordinary Machine Gun with Admiral Arcana. Please don't follow me."

Odysseus realized that the other party was going to ask him about the divine blood of the "Elf King".

So Odysseus simply smiled at Klein and Alger and said, "Then you guys wait here for a while. I'll be back soon."

Klein and Alger realized that Hal alone was no match for Admiral Arcana, so they didn't follow him.

Approaching the flagship of "Vice Admiral of the Deep Sea", Odysseus saw that the ship was flatter than a normal ship, but the mast was not very high, giving it a "chubby" feeling.

The series of encounters just now caused some damage to the ship, and the crew is now busy repairing the ship.

"Admiral of the Deep Sea" just made a quick inspection and asked Odysseus to wait in the living room of the captain's room. He went into the study alone.

Odysseus looked around. This ship was already a classical one. The entire living room was a smooth arc, while the lines of modern ships were more rugged.

After a while, Hal came out with gold pounds: "Sorry, the crew is busy repairing the ship and has no time to make tea for us."

"It doesn't matter." Odysseus took the gold pounds, counted them briefly, and confirmed that it was 4800 pounds.

He stood up and pretended to say goodbye and leave.

Hal really said, "Please wait a moment."

Odysseus looked at the "Admiral of the Deep Sea" and asked knowingly, "What else?"

Hal Constantine seemed to organize his words before he said, "What you get from the treasure, I can buy with a lot of money."

Odysseus smiled and said, "You are searching for the treasure of Deken Dedil. You must have a special goal, right?"

Hal straightened his back. "Please give me an offer."

Odysseus asked in return: "Why do you think I got that thing?"

"Because among the four of us, only you have the 'Space Array,'" Hal Constantine said, "We can't hide that item at our level. If it were on the other two, I would definitely be able to sense its presence."

Odysseus sat down again: "Do you really know those two people?"

Hal was stunned by the question.

Odysseus continued, "It only took Gehrman Sparrow a few months to become the 'strongest hunter' acknowledged by even Anderson. I guess you've noticed the gloves he's wearing.

"I won't tell you who the other person is. Have you ever wondered why he keeps his face covered? I guarantee you'd be very surprised if you knew his true identity."

This is a bit of an exaggeration.

Hal frowned. After being reminded by Admiral Mystery, he realized that the members of the previous exploration team were indeed very complicated.

Odysseus asked again: "Do you really know those two people?"

Vice Admiral Deep Sea didn't answer immediately. Instead, he remained silent for more than ten seconds before saying, "I do want to conduct an arms deal with you. How can I contact you?"

He planned to go back and ask a demigod for divination to see who exactly had the divine blood of the "elves".

Vice Admiral Deep Sea's attention was drawn to Klein and Alger by Odysseus. He didn't notice that Odysseus only briefly mentioned his companions and didn't directly answer the question about the Elf King's divine blood.

However, Odysseus's two companions were indeed very mysterious, and it was easy to be attracted by them. "Admiral of the Deep Sea" had long noticed that the glove of German Sparrow was suspected to be "Creeping Hunger".

That was once the seal of "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Qilingos, but now Qilingos is dead, and no one knows how he died.

German Sparrow was easier to find. After all, he didn't have his own ship, so as long as he was hunting bounty criminals, we would know which island he was on.

It would be best if there was a way to contact "Admiral Mystery". After all, it would be difficult to find him if he was sailing on the sea.

Of course, Odysseus would not tell the other party his extraordinary contact information. He said, "I have a base on Cruz Island. You can send someone to deliver the letter there."

Hal took a deep breath before saying, "Okay then."

At this time, Odysseus stood up to say goodbye, and Hal did not try to keep him.

Odysseus returned to the beach, reunited with his two companions, and gave half of the 4800 pounds he had just received to Klein.

So the only spoils of this exploration that remained undivided were the gold.

The three of them were quite satisfied with the spoils they had obtained. Although Alger did not get the potion formula, he had gathered the main ingredients.

For him, promotion is the most important thing.

Klein obtained more than 2400 gold coins, and currently has 2000 pounds. He can probably get another pounds. Such a treasure is indeed very rich.

The most satisfied person was Odysseus. He had obtained three drops of divine blood. He hadn't figured out how to use them yet, but such a high-level item would definitely be very useful! And it would definitely have very high-level uses.

After agreeing with Alger to trade the extraordinary materials of the "Deep Sea Blue-Eyed Electric Eel", Odysseus took them into the spirit world.

The "Deep Sea Blue-Eyed Electric Eel" was an extraordinary creature that Odysseus had hunted when he entered the "Temple of the God of the Sea" before. It was of no use in the "Wilderness of Knowledge", so it would be better to trade it to Alger.

Odysseus first sent Alger to Changwei Island, and then sent Klein back.

……

Alger was in a good mood and quickly returned to the port of Changwei Island.

As soon as they returned to the Blue Avenger, the crew immediately ran over to report, "Captain, there's an urgent call from headquarters."

Alger quickly took the telegram, and then his eyes fixed. The content of the telegram was: Go to Tiana Island and form a fleet with the "Waves" to track the "Argo" and "Golden Dream".

Alger, who had just separated from the captain of the Argo, thought to himself, "What trouble has Admiral Mystery gotten himself into?"
……

That night, Vice Admiral Deep Sea drove his flagship, HMS Newins, to an unnamed island that was not on any nautical chart.

There is a small town here, and Hal Constantine is the ruler of the town.

He returned to his house with a huge courtyard, entered the altar in the basement, and used the corresponding ritual to contact Genna Constantine, the senior deacon of the Constantine family at sea.

That was a demigod, not a demigod of the "Sailor" path.

Facing the tall figure in classical wizard robes on the altar, Hal reported on his exploration experience today.

Finally, Hal said, "The Elf King's divine blood must have been obtained by one of these three, but they are too powerful for my pirate group to defeat. Ultimately, I can only pretend ignorance for now and return to report this matter to you."

"You're doing the right thing." Gena's voice was very majestic. "The backgrounds of Odysseus Garr and German Sparrow are indeed very complicated."

Then he said, "Draw their portraits and I will tell their fortunes."

That's exactly what Hal was going for: "Yes."

He placed the portrait he had prepared long ago in front of the altar.

Gena looked down and saw that Odis Gar was a young man wearing a windbreaker, holding a classical staff and with a large leather bag tied around his waist.

The other two people had a stern expression on their faces, and one covered his face with a scarf.

Even though he was a demigod, Gena could only do simple divination for the three people he had never met. However, if he designed a divination about the blood of the "Elf King", he could divine who had the blood.

After finishing the report, Hal, who had not had time to eat dinner, immediately asked the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Sitting at the dining table, the servant had just poured him the aperitif when a middle-aged man in a classical wizard robe came in.

Hal thought he was seeing things, and after a moment's pause he quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Gena, you...why are you here?"

The middle-aged man who came was none other than Gunnar Constantine, who had just "spoken" through the altar.

Genna asked, "Is the staff that Garl is holding similar to this?"

He raised his hand, and suddenly a phantom white paper appeared in front of him. The white paper changed shape and became the appearance of the "Staff of Gus". Then the white "Staff of Gus" was dyed with color, and it was no different from a normal "Staff of Gus".

Vice Admiral Deep Sea took a look and said, "Yes, this is exactly the staff that Garl used."

Gena's eyes turned serious: "This is the 'Staff of Gus'."

He paused and ordered, "Try to get close to Garl and find out where he got this staff."

Gena had never seen the "Staff of Gus", but just now when he was divining the divine blood of the "Elf King", he found that the divination failed.

It wasn't interrupted, it was failed.

Such divine-level spiritual materials are also very important to an angel family, so he reported the matter to Constantine himself.

This angel, who had once been a member of the "Ten Pillars" of the "Order of Moss", recognized at a glance that Odysseus was holding the "Staff of Gus", and it seemed to be the same staff as Teresa's.

So he ordered a gentle investigation into where Gar's staff came from.

Constantine's staff was lost in a fierce battle and has never been recovered. He always felt that was a pity. If Odysseus had not inherited it, he would have used a trade, semi-forcibly, to obtain it. Upon hearing this mission, Vice Admiral Deep Sea immediately said, "I will contact Admiral Arcanum as soon as possible."

……

In the following days, the "Argo" and the "Golden Dream" headed towards Northaus Island together. They replenished supplies at the port again on the way and asked the crew to "accidentally" reveal their destination.

Odysseus basically stayed in Cruz Island and Bayam, discussing the "Scroll Shop" with Mandy and the expansion of the magic potion business.

While at Cruz Island, he was supervising the progress of the project.

At the same time, Odysseus received several sums of money in the past few days. First, he shared the bounty of Gilchias, the third mate of the "Death Report", and others with Klein, and Odysseus received the full bounty.

In the end, Odysseus received 9550 pounds. The reason he got so much was because Klein "herded" Gilchies, which was equivalent to taking away a portion of the Beyonder characteristic of the "Apostle of Desire".

At the same time, Odysseus bought the characteristics of "devil" and "serial killer" at a low price.

The second income came from trading the characteristics of the "Deep Sea Blue Eyed Electric Eel" with Alger, which earned him 3600 pounds.

The third income was the division of Deacon Dedil's treasure. Odysseus had originally received 2400 pounds, and the gold was sold for a total of 8200 pounds. Together with the 2000 pounds that Klein had previously obtained, the three of them divided it according to the previous ratio, and in the end Odysseus received 4080 pounds.

In this exploration, Odysseus gained 6480 pounds, a demigod-level crystal, and three drops of divine blood.

This made Odysseus's financial situation better, and there was no need to worry about construction funds.

These past few days were relatively easy for Odysseus, and Saturday morning came in a blink of an eye.

As usual, he looked at the construction progress from the top of the mountain on Cruz Island, then went to his office, locked the door, and entered the "wilderness of knowledge" in a "meditation" way.

In recent days, whenever he had time, he would go to the "Wilderness of Knowledge" to observe the holders of the two "Gus Staffs".

Through observation over the past few days, Odysseus has realized that the lady is indeed one of the "Ten Pillars" of the "Moss Ascetic Order", named Rosalind Reye, a "Master of Prophecy".

The man's name was Theodore Timothy, a privy bishop of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, a "mystic scholar", and was in charge of personnel work.

By monitoring some conversations between these two people and their subordinates, Odysseus basically had a certain understanding of the recent movements of the two organizations.

After entering the "Wilderness of Knowledge", Odysseus monitored Rosalind Ree as usual. He put one hand on the "CPU", found the corresponding star, spread his spirituality over, and could see the scene where Rosalind was.

The other party was meeting with a guest, a man in his thirties, and the atmosphere in the meeting room was rather solemn.

Rosalind, with delicate features and eyes that seemed to have experienced many hardships, said seriously, "I have said many times, this is the last time, do not disturb my ascetic practice again."

The man in his thirties smiled and said, "After all these years, haven't you figured it out yet? You can't defeat madness and distortion through hard training, nor can you find the true meaning of this world."

Through some previous conversations, Odysseus learned that the "Moss Ascetic Order" is currently divided into three main factions. One faction insists on using asceticism and thinking to filter the knowledge instilled by the "Hidden Sage" to understand the universe and fight against extraordinary madness and distortion.

One faction persists in asceticism, actively using the knowledge instilled by the "Hidden Sages" to understand the universe and fight against madness and distortion.

The third faction seeks to understand the universe and combat madness and distortion by praying to some great being to gain enlightenment.

Obviously, the third faction is most likely the believers of the Outer Gods.

Rosalind belongs to the first faction. They will not reject the knowledge imparted by the "Hidden Sage", but they will conduct certain screening of that knowledge.

The man opened his arms and said, "Only by listening to the voice of the Great Being can we receive enlightenment."

As he spoke, illusory rays of light were released from his back, as if he had obtained permission from a certain being to preach, which was why his preaching was accompanied by some miracles.

Odysseus nodded slowly, realizing that this man was from the third faction.

The organization of the "Moss Ascetic Order" is very loose. Even as it is now, when there are serious differences in doctrine, the "Hidden Sage" has not given any instructions.

The leader of the "Ten Pillars" does not care about such things. At most, he will come forward to mediate when fighting breaks out due to internal disagreements.

Rosalind suddenly laughed: "If I had known you were going to talk to me about such nonsense, I would not have seen you."

"We have received new instructions." The man ignored Rosalind's words and continued, "Odysseus Garr is the key figure in opening the 'Gate of Mystery'..."

Odysseus was stunned and wanted to ask who gave him the instructions.

"But we need more help to deal with Odysseus's protector, the 'Mysterious Queen.'" The man said, "Are you interested in joining? I guarantee that Gar is full of secrets.

"It will definitely help your asceticism and contemplation."

Odysseus thought to himself: You are using me as a favor, thank you!
He also didn't expect to hear about his own plan today.

However, Odysseus was not nervous, because in addition to being protected by the "Mysterious Queen", he was also the favored of the "Goddess of Night".

It would be difficult for the Moss Ascetics to locate him, and they might end up just hiding on Cruz Island.

That was Odysseus's base camp. The first mate, second mate and third mate took turns to be in charge there. One of their important tasks was to observe whether there were any spies infiltrating.

When such a large-scale extraordinary organization takes action, they will definitely send some people to gather information first. The sequence of these people cannot be too high, and as long as you observe carefully, you can detect something.

Rosalind remained unmoved. "Didn't you catch him once? Do you want to catch him again?"

Previously in Backlund, the Moss Ascetic Order had used the struggle between the Rose School and the official Beyonders to capture Odysseus once.

Unfortunately, the operation failed, an "astrologer" died, and a Sequence 7 level seal was lost.

The magical item corresponding to Sequence 7 of the "Witch" Path is on the shelf of the "Knowledge Wilderness".

"This time is different." The man, still emitting an illusory light from behind him, said, "We are preparing to dispatch a large number of manpower to round up..."

Rosalind said: "I am not interested in studying a person.

"Or rather, I simply don't believe that someone else can hold the answers I'm struggling to grasp."

"I'm sorry." The man's expression suddenly turned sinister. "You forced us to do this. We've talked to you many times, but you remain unmoved."

Odysseus noticed that in the light behind the man, a number of illusory mouths appeared, and he looked like a talkative monster.

At the same time, Odysseus heard the sound of many priests reciting different chapters of scriptures, which was chaotic and sacred.

"Ah!" Rosalind screamed, fell to the ground with pain on her face, and tried to get away from the man in panic.

Her skin cracked inch by inch, revealing eyeballs with cold gazes.

Rosalind was suddenly very weak and could hardly get up, so she could only crawl to escape.

This sudden change made Odysseus stunned, but then he realized that the man was not here to persuade Rosalind from the beginning, but to defile her.

At the same time, he realized that when he was "preaching" before, he had awakened the pollution in his body, and the light emitted from his body at that time could not be seen by Rosalind at all, but only Odysseus, who had a similar "true vision", could see it.

So Rosalind was completely off guard.

The man laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Listen to the voice of that great being. There is endless knowledge, an understanding of the extraordinary, a knowledge of the universe, and an explanation of the origin...

"This great voice will open a new door for you. Don't resist. Only after you have gone through this baptism will you know the true nature of this world."

Although Rosalind's face was full of pain, she still gritted her teeth and persevered.

Odysseus frowned, feeling that the followers of the Outer Gods must not be allowed to succeed.

An "ascetic" like Rosalind is still considered to be the part of the "Moss Ascetic Order" that has not fallen, and she poses no threat to Odysseus, so she should be saved.

So the question now is: how to save it?
Odysseus can use the "Staff of Guth" to send power to Rosalind, and it is angel-level power.

But the problem is that those powers only have levels and no specific abilities!

This is like continuously supplying high-quality fuel to the engine, but the engine is not started at all and cannot generate any power.

After thinking about it for a while, Odysseus thought of the divine blood of the "Elf King".

He suddenly thought that he could use the divine blood as a medium, use the power of the "Wilderness of Knowledge", and release some lightning.

At this time, the cracks on Rosalind's skin were getting bigger and bigger, and those cold eyes were about to pop out of her skin.

Without hesitation, Odysseus placed one hand on the "CPU" to pry the power of the "Wilderness of Knowledge", and with the other hand he grabbed the blood of the "Elf King" stored on the shelf and suspended it in his palm.

Under Odysseus's prying, the light balls that made up the room suddenly emitted illusory light and lingered around Odysseus.

Odysseus poured this surging power into the star representing Rosalind's "Staff of Guth".

The divine blood in his palm seemed to be activated, emitting "sizzling" arcs of electricity and the sound of a surging tsunami.

……

At this time, Rosalind was lying on the ground, struggling to hold on. Her "Staff of Gus" fell not far away, but she also knew that she could not hold on for much longer.

But she was unwilling to give up until the last moment.

Suddenly, Rosalind, whose consciousness was already a little blurred, saw that the head of her "Staff of Gus" suddenly emitted a bright light!

In the light, there seemed to be a tall and majestic being wearing a smock and holding a lantern in his right hand.

Hermit!
Rosalind suddenly realized that this was the light in the darkness, this was the "hermit" who used knowledge as a lamp to point the way for the confused!
At this moment, the whispering in Rosalind's ears suddenly weakened, and her mind and spirit suddenly became much more relaxed, and she quickly regained her sanity and thoughts.

Then she saw that the left hand of the majestic being in the smock was half thunder and lightning and half surging waves.

The next second, the "Staff of Gus" floated in the air, and a silver-white lightning shot out from the head of the staff, instantly hitting the man with a mouth full of bullets behind him.

yah~
While the man was still in a daze, the violent electric arc instantly burned his body to ashes. The arc flashed, but the clothes, which served as insulators, remained intact and slowly fell to the ground.

Those illusory mouths disappeared into the void because they had no carrier.

Rosalind looked at everything in front of her, as if she were in a dream.

She knew very well that the person who had just turned into ashes, although only Sequence 5, seemed to have received a gift from a certain existence and possessed the power of approximately Sequence 4.

But in front of this "hermit", he is completely vulnerable!
Then, Rosalind came back to her senses, quickly stood up, bowed to the "Staff of Gus", and said: "Great being, thank you for your help."

At this time, the cracks on her body quickly disappeared and turned into normal skin again.

After a second or two, the mysterious figure said in a majestic voice, "It's good that you can stick to the bottom line and embody the style of the former Ascetic Order."

As soon as he finished speaking, the light on the staff head gradually disappeared, and the "Staff of Gus" slowly fell to the ground.

Rosalind stared at the staff for a moment before muttering to herself, "What kind of being is this?"

Then she thought of what the other person said, and gained more confidence in her persistence.

……

The reason why Odysseus chose to exit in this way was because he had no idea how to deal with this demigod of the "Moss Ascetic Order".

In other words, this incident happened too suddenly, and there was no time to think about how to deal with the situation after rescuing the person.

Instead of being in a hurry, it is better to exit in style.

Anyway, I have saved her now. When needed, I can contact her again and assign her some tasks as a reward for saving her.

But that's a matter for the future, there's no rush to have further contact now.

Then, Odysseus recalled his image just now. He was clearly not wearing a hood, and his right hand was on the "CPU" at that time. Why was the image projected onto the "Staff of Gus" like that?

He first put the divine blood of the "Elf King" back, thought about it, and felt that it should be the "Knowledge Wilderness"'s transformation of his own image, so he didn't think much about it.

The lightning just now used up a lot of his spiritual energy, so he did not continue to monitor, but returned to the real world to rest.

As soon as he returned to the real world, he immediately found that his crystal ball was emitting a faint light. He placed his hand on the crystal ball and found that it was "Lieutenant General Iceberg" contacting him.

However, after using spiritual power to establish a mystical connection between the two crystal balls, the figure of Blue, the first mate of the "Golden Dream", appeared: "Captain Gal, our captain is missing."
