Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 324 Rescue of Lieutenant General Bingberg
Odysseus was stunned when he received the call for help from the first mate of the Golden Dream. "Tell me in detail."

"Two days ago, our captain said she wanted to do some research in the study and asked us not to disturb her." Blue immediately said, "Because the captain often does such research, we didn't take it seriously.

"Yesterday, we realized something was wrong, but without the captain's order, it was difficult for us to break into the study with its many unusual decorations.

"Until today, the captain still hasn't shown up. Just now, we managed to open the door of the captain's study and found that he was missing.

"We have searched several times and she is not anywhere on the ship."

When Odysseus heard half of it, he already understood what was going on: it must have entered the "book".

He said, "Wait a moment, I'll be there soon."

After the connection was interrupted, Odysseus did not rush to set off. Instead, he waited for his spiritual power to recover while thinking about how to deal with the matter.

Of course he remembered this incident. It was Danitz who asked German Sparrow for help, and the matter was resolved.

Now it was Blue who asked for help.

Odysseus was confident that he could hunt the demigod-level ice dragon together with Edwina and others, but this would trigger many butterfly effects.

For example, Edwina originally wanted to give Klein "Groselle's Travels", but she would give him Odysseus.

Danitz, who had originally become a follower of The Fool, also lost this opportunity.

Odysseus was familiar with the history of the ancient era and was not interested in "Groselle's Travels". On the contrary, he was very reluctant to obtain this "Travels" because it would increase the probability of being targeted by Adam.

Moreover, this "Travel Notes" and the big key that can open the "Giant King's Palace" were all prepared for Klein by the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and Odysseus had no intention of interfering in the matters therein.

Thinking of this, Odysseus thought that he could ask Klein to participate in the rescue. If Edwina wanted to give Groselle's Travels as a reward, she could give it to Klein.

Odysseus could also take the opportunity to ask Vice Admiral Iceberg for a promise and ask her to introduce him to the bishop of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom to discuss cooperation.

If possible, it would be best to become a favored one of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom".

After becoming a Blessed One, many of Odysseus's plans can be fully implemented, saving a lot of trouble and no longer having to worry about the threats from the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery and the "Moss Ascetic Order".

Thinking of this, he thought that this plan was feasible, so he took a short rest. When his spiritual strength was almost recovered, he used the "Travel Ring" to come to the "Golden Dream".

At this time, the "Golden Dream" and the "Argo" were still sailing together, heading towards the waters of Nohaus Island.

First mate Blue and others kept reminding themselves in their hearts that "saving the captain first is the most important thing", and then they smiled sincerely, said a few polite words to Odysseus, and immediately invited him to the captain's study.

The room is surrounded by bookshelves filled with all kinds of books.

Odysseus came to the desk in front of the window. There were a lot of things placed messily on the desk, including white papers, round-bellied fountain pens, ink bottles, and some books that were not neatly stacked.

In the middle of the desk was a parchment-bound book, with the words "Grosser's Travels" written in ancient Feysac on its dark brown surface.

Odysseus smiled slightly and said, this is it.

First Mate Blue saw Admiral Mystery poring over the ancient book and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. We've checked it."

Odysseus said "Oh" casually and asked, "Have you read this book "Groselle's Travels"?"

Blue Walls shook his head, and Orpheus, Danitz, and the others who followed him also shook their heads.

Odysseus was stunned and couldn't help asking: "How did you check it?"

The third mate of the Golden Dream, Jordonson, gave a wry smile and said, "Studying every day is exhausting enough. We don't want to read any more books, but we have done some research on occult science."

Odysseus smiled and thought to himself: With your level, it would be strange if you could find out anything.

I picked up "Groselle's Travels" and flipped through it. It told the story of the giant Groselle and his team preparing to fight a frost dragon named "King of the North".

The last two pages tell the story of a lost pirate lady who encountered the "King of the North" in a blizzard and was almost killed. She struggled hard to escape and met the protagonist team who came to challenge the Frost Dragon.

Seeing this, Odysseus glanced at the exquisite Western swords placed on the weapon rack in the corner of the study.

Apparently, Edwina didn't have time to take her magical items with her when she entered the book, so she looked rather embarrassed.

Then, Odysseus took out the crystal ball and performed divination in public. Because he knew what was going on, the divination he silently recited in his mind was actually: What should I eat tonight?
After receiving a star sign, Odysseus casually interpreted it and said, "I still need a helper."

Several crew members of the Golden Dream were about to volunteer to help, but Odysseus said, "Sequence 5."

Several crew members slowly lowered their raised hands with helpless smiles.

Odysseus said: "Wait a moment, I have a candidate."

Without waiting for Blue and the others to say anything, Odysseus had once again summoned the "Gate of Illusion" and entered the spiritual world.

Following spiritual guidance, Odysseus arrived at the door of a room in a hotel on the island of Oravi.

Odysseus knocked on the door in front of him. After a few seconds, Anderson opened the door with some confusion: "Why are you here?"

Just now, when his spiritual sense sensed that it was "Admiral Mystery" outside, he thought that his spiritual sense was wrong.

Odysseus glanced inside and saw Gehrman Sparrow, with a stern expression, sitting on a chair in the room. "Looking for him."

As he spoke, Odysseus pointed into the room.

Klein was just talking to Anderson, who had just solved the bad luck problem. Both of them were a little surprised by Odysseus's sudden appearance.

"I hope I'm not disturbing you." Odysseus smiled as he walked in. "I need your help with something."

Klein stood up and asked, "What will I get in return?"

"I'm not sure, but I'm sure you'll get a good reward," Odysseus replied.

Klein asked again, "How dangerous is it?"

Odysseus smiled and said, "We are going to challenge a dragon with a few people."

Klein twitched his lips. "Sorry, I don't have time."

"Don't be so quick to refuse." Odysseus smiled and said, "That dragon isn't very strong. We won't be in any danger."

Klein frowned. "What kind of commission is this?"

"You'll know when you get there," Odysseus said. "Don't worry, I'll also be involved in the operation. Don't you still trust my judgment?"

Klein trusted Odysseus's judgment, so he said, "Okay, shall we set off now?"

Anderson quickly said, "How about taking me along too? If you don't need me to help, I don't need any compensation. I just want to watch the fun."

Odysseus said, "I won't take you with me this time. We'll talk about it next time when we have the chance."

Anderson had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll wait here for two days. If you still haven't arrived by the day after tomorrow..."

Before he could finish, Klein interrupted, "Shut up!"

Anderson smiled and said, "This is likely to happen."

At this time, he saw that "Admiral Mystery" also showed a murderous look, and quickly chose to shut up.

If Gehrman Sparrow was alone, he might be able to escape, but with Admiral Arcana, it would be hard to say.

Odysseus held Klein's shoulders and entered the spiritual world. After more than half a minute, he appeared on the "Golden Dream".

Danitz and the others discovered that the helper invited by Admiral Mystery was actually Gehrman Sparrow, and for a moment, their alarm bells rang loudly.

Odysseus laughed and said, "What do you have on your face? Are you still afraid of being killed by Gehrman Sparrow?"

Klein, standing by, thought to himself, "Have you forgotten what you saw in our shared dream? This isn't what they're afraid of."

"Get out of the way." Odysseus walked in front and asked the crew of the "Golden Dream" to get out of the way.

They had no choice but to continue to prepare themselves mentally: the most important thing now is to rescue the captain!

After a certain amount of psychological preparation, they all gave way.

Coming to the desk by the window again, Odysseus picked up Groselle's Travels and handed it to Klein: "I divined that Vice Admiral Iceberg entered this book."

Klein frowned. He remembered this book. Vice Admiral Iceberg had shown him this collection when he was aboard the Golden Dream.

This travelogue left a deep impression on Klein, and he even planned to trick Miss Justice into buying it so that he could take the opportunity to study it.

The crew of the Golden Dream started talking at once. Second mate Orpheus asked, "Why didn't we notice anything unusual when we checked just now?"

"Because the level of this Travel Notes is too high." Odysseus explained simply.

Klein glanced briefly at the last two pages and said, "Compared to the last time I saw it, the story does have two more pages, and there's also a character called 'Pirate Lady.'"

Everyone was stunned, and they immediately realized that the divination of "Admiral of Mystery" should be correct.

Klein said in a cold voice, "The question now is, how do we save them?"

Odysseus flipped through the pages. "There are only a few pages left. It's time to get to the end of the story."

Klein was stunned for a moment: "Are we also entering this 'Travel Notes'?"

"That's right." Odysseus said, "If we kill the frost dragon, we should be able to come back."

Klein frowned. "Then why didn't you call Anderson?"

With the help of this "strongest hunter below demigod", it should be easier to defeat the dragon.

"I don't trust him." Odysseus made up an excuse.

In fact, he was very confident that he could kill the frost dragon.

In other words, ever since he obtained the "Staff of Gus" and made a batch of scrolls with special powers, Odysseus has wanted to challenge his limits.

Of course, challenging a normal demigod alone would be courting death.

What he wanted was for several Sequence 5s to challenge a target slightly lower than a demigod together, as he was doing now.

This way, he can devote all his energy to the battle, and if the battle doesn't go well, he can have other Sequence 5s to support him.

If Anderson were to be called upon, although it would only be one more Sequence 5, things would become much easier and would not be a challenge for Odysseus.

Regarding the reason given by Odysseus, Klein did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked, "What do you need me to do?"

Odysseus smiled and said, "I can't be sure of my divination and guesses. After all, I have to enter the book myself. What if my guess is wrong and I can't get out of the book? That would be interesting."

Klein nodded, understanding what Odysseus meant. "I need a quiet environment to do some more serious divination."

He planned to take the book "above the gray fog" and try to solve the problem without using the gray fog.

Odysseus said, "No problem."

Then he took Blue and the other crew members out to the corridor outside.

Third mate Jodson asked with some concern, "Captain Gall, is German Sparrow reliable?"

Odysseus smiled and said, "I can't say anything else, but below the level of demigods, no one can predict the future more accurately than him."

To be precise, under certain circumstances, such as when one has time to enter Sefirah Castle for divination, it is more accurate than a demigod.

"That's not what I'm talking about," said Jodson. "I'm talking about whether he's a reliable person."

Odysseus said, "Oh," and said, "Let me tell you this, he currently has no intention of falling in love."

Although no one said anything, smiles appeared on everyone's faces and a joyful atmosphere filled the corridor.

Then everyone realized that something was wrong, and the corridor suddenly became quiet, as if they were embarrassed by having their secrets exposed.

After waiting for a few minutes, Klein opened the door and said to Danitz, "I need a helper."

"Okay!" Danitz hurriedly followed in, and the study door was closed again.

Odysseus smiled slightly: That's right.

A few minutes later, Klein opened the door again and said to Odysseus, "I've confirmed that your divination and guess are correct."

Odysseus nodded: "Then let's go and rescue them."

As he spoke, he looked inside and, as expected, Danitz was nowhere to be found. The other crew members also noticed this and, realizing that their captain had been saved, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wait a moment." Klein looked at the crew of the Golden Dream.

Odysseus immediately understood what he meant: "Your concerns are justified." After all, he and Klein would soon enter the "Travel Notes". If one of them suddenly dedicated the "Travel Notes" to the evil god, they would have no hope of getting out.

Of course, the probability of this happening is not high, but these people are pirates after all, and their composition is very complicated. No one knows what they can do.

So he turned around and said to Blue and the other three, "The next thing concerns whether your captain can come back, and her life safety. I need you three officers to guard the door and not let anyone in.

“And we also have to monitor each other and prevent anyone from coming in.”

Blue Walsh immediately said, "Leave it to us."

Odysseus then turned to Klein and said, "I still trust them."

What he meant was that even if it wasn't for the two of us, they wouldn't do anything rash for the sake of their captain.

However, the way Odysseus said this made Blue and other crew members feel warm in their hearts.

Klein thought to himself: This guy is more qualified to be a leader than me. He has already arranged for people to supervise each other, which means he has similar concerns.

But the last sentence made everyone's dissatisfaction disappear in an instant.

After explaining what happened outside, Odysseus came into the room and locked the study door.

Odysseus looked at the Travels on the table and said, "I'll go in first, and you can come in later."

Klein's ability makes it easier to find people, and he can find himself relatively easily.

After saying that, Odysseus took the sword of "Lieutenant General Iceberg" and hung it on his waist. He pulled out a dagger, cut his finger, and smeared it on the surface of "Travel Notes".

Almost in an instant, Odysseus's vision was suddenly covered by the raging blizzard.

The strong wind, carrying ice chips and goose feather snowflakes, slapped Odysseus one after another, and for a moment he wanted to use a "defense scroll".

Although he had reached the level of Sequence 5 and was basically no longer afraid of normal cold, when Odysseus saw the scene before him, his body involuntarily tensed up and trembled a few times as if it were a conditioned reflex.

Looking at the vast expanse of white snow, Odysseus decided to find a place to shelter from the wind first, and then after meeting up with Klein, they would go together to find "Lieutenant General Iceberg".

Because Klein's divination ability is more suitable for finding people.

As he headed for the leeward side, he thought to himself: The "fortune teller's" ability is really useful in finding people.

Odysseus could also use "astrology" to divine Edwina's location, but in a place without any reference points, he had to constantly use the crystal ball to confirm the direction, which was very troublesome.

Klein, on the other hand, only needed a cane to easily determine his location.

When they arrived at the leeward side, Odysseus infused the "Star Sand" into the "Staff of Gus". For a moment, the stars shone brightly, forming a column of light and opening a cave on the rock in the leeward side.

Odysseus turned the corner of the cave and carved a stone bench inside.

After doing all this, Odysseus took back the "Star Sand" and went into the cave to wait.

Because it is on the leeward side and there is a corner, there is no wind at all inside.

Odysseus took out his pipe, filled it with tobacco, and just took a comfortable puff when he suddenly felt the oppressive aura coming from a higher-level being.

The breath came from far away and seemed to be swirling above the head.

Odysseus knew that the "King of the North" was in the sky, so he quickly extinguished his pipe and gathered his spiritual power to avoid being discovered.

However, that huge sense of oppression not only did not leave, it seemed to have landed not far away outside.

Odysseus was stunned, but soon realized that he had been discovered.

But he was a little confused. Why did the dragon discover him all of a sudden?

Although he came in with the intention of challenging the dragon, Odysseus certainly would not be foolish enough to face the dragon head-on. He was about to pull out the "Staff of Gus" and use the "Star Sand" to continue drilling a hole to escape.

But then he heard the "King of the North" utter a word in "Ancient Dragon Language": "Gus."

Odysseus twitched his lips and thought to himself: No wonder the other party was able to find me, it turns out that he discovered this magic wand.

Theoretically, it is impossible to discover Odysseus unless he is seen directly.

In fact, the "King of the North" was unable to determine the exact location of Odysseus at this time. He just felt that someone here used the "Staff of Guth", so he came here to find him.

Thinking of this, Odysseus quietly put the "Staff of Gus" back, and then used the "Imitation Scroll" to make the air in front of him "imitate" the rock.

This is a scroll designed by Odysseus through studying the "Ruins of the War of Gods", a fruit with the ability of "imitation".

That is the spiritual material of the demigod level of the "Reader" path, and it can also be used to make some special scrolls.

For example, this "Imitation Scroll" can not only "imitate" the target's ability, but also "imitate" other things, or let other things "imitate" other things.

Just like now, let the air "imitate" the rock, so a layer of rock appears in front of Odysseus, separating the cave and forming an enclosed space at the bottom to protect Odysseus.

The "King of the North" outside felt the spiritual fluctuations and immediately sprayed blue ice crystals into the cave. The entire cave was filled and frozen with ice.

However, because there was a rock blocking Odysseus's way, the ice stopped there and was not affected by the enclosed space in the deepest part of the cave.

Odysseus hid in there, quietly waiting for the "King of the North" to leave.

Dragons are generally quite intelligent, but as long as Odysseus stays out of their sight, they won't be able to find him.

After four or five minutes, the air that had previously "imitated" rock had already turned back into air, and the sense of oppression that seemed to come from a higher-level creature disappeared.

However, Odysseus did not go out immediately. He waited for more than ten minutes before releasing his spiritual sense and feeling to make sure that the "King of the North" had left.

Odysseus then summoned the "Star Sand" and used it to condense into a beam of light. The ice ejected by the dragon breath of the "King of the North" drilled out of the cave and quickly opened up a connection to the outside.

Without the reinforcement of the "Gus Staff", the "drilling speed" of "Star Sand" was much slower, and it took about twice as long to get out of the cave.

Odysseus came outside carefully and saw many tall and large ice crystals left outside, like huge pillars of ice and snow.

Odysseus estimated that those were some of the abilities that the "King of the North" had just used in order to find the "Staff of Gus".

Recalling the situation when he faced the divine blood of the "Elf King", Odysseus realized that the "Staff of Gus" was indeed very useful, but he also had to be careful not to expose himself.

Especially when encountering this kind of "old guy", many of them have seen the "Staff of Gus", which can easily attract their attention.

At this time, Odysseus's spirit seemed to sense something. He looked up and saw two figures walking quickly in the distance.

The figure in front, with a stern expression, strode forward. It was Gehrman Sparrow.

Behind him, Danitz hunched his neck and hunched slightly, looking very much like Klein's servant. It was obvious that the cold here was still too much for a Sequence 7 to bear, even if he was an "arsonist."

Odysseus hurried forward and soon the three of them met in the snow.

Klein and Danitz both saw ice crystals that looked like giant pillars. Danitz asked, "What is that?"

"Left behind by the King of the North," Odysseus said casually. He then asked Klein, "Can you divine the location of Vice Admiral Iceberg?"

"Okay." Klein retracted his gaze and replied simply.

Danitz's attention was still on the giant pillar-like ice crystal over there: "Why would it leave something like this here?"

"I don't know either." Odysseus said, "It came looking for me just now, and I quickly hid in the cave. When I came out, it was like this."

Hearing Odysseus say this, Klein sensed something was amiss: "Did it discover you?"

"Almost." Odysseus said honestly, "I guess these icicles appeared because the 'King of the North' was using some ability to find my trace."

Danitz laughed and said, "This stupid dragon, it's clear all his efforts have been in vain."

Klein took another look at the ice crystals, but he didn't think it was a "stupid dragon," especially a monster with the appearance of a beast. Its senses were extremely sensitive.

Odysseus must have avoided the other party's search by using some ability.

But he didn't explain to Danis, instead he said, "Let's go."

After searching for more than two hours, the three finally found a female guard holding an ancient bow and arrow in a dark cave hidden behind a huge rock.

The woman had soft, shiny black hair tied into a simple ponytail. Her facial features were very soft, different from those of the people in all the countries in the Northern Continent.

Odysseus and Klein, who had read "Groselle's Travels", knew from each other's pointed ears and brown ancient coats that this was the first female elf Groselle knew.

Klein concluded in his mind: Compared to Earth, the people of the Northern Continent are more European and American, while these elves have a distinctly Eastern charm.

Danitz said in surprise, "The legendary elves! And... and they're the kind of elves that appear in ancient murals!"

The "Golden Dream" once encountered an elf village and saw descriptions of elves in some ancient murals.

However, the elves in reality are somewhat different from the elves in the murals, such as hair color and pupil color.

At this time, the female elf also looked over vigilantly.

Odysseus did not step forward immediately, but shouted: "We are here to look for someone!"

The elf girl seemed not to have heard what Odysseus said. She pulled out an arrow and put it on the longbow. The arrow head immediately flowed with silver-white electric light.

Odysseus said helplessly: "Madam, please calm down..."

At this moment, he felt a flash before his eyes, and saw a sturdy and strong gray-blue figure jumping out from behind the rock, holding an exaggerated giant sword in his hand.

The female elf just now was only slightly above the giant's knees.

Danitz swallowed his saliva and said, "Giant!"

The giant was more than four meters tall, with thick beast fur wrapped around his chest, abdomen and hips, while the rest of his body was exposed, as if he was not afraid of the cold at all.

He held a giant sword wider than a human door panel, looking down at Odysseus, Klein, and the others with his signature vertical eyes. He asked loudly in a muffled voice, "Who are you? Why did you come to Groselle's camp?"

Odysseus noticed that only the previous "King of the North" spoke the "Ancient Dragon Language", and after that, both the elves and giants spoke the Rhun language.

In other words, this "Travel Notes" completed simultaneous mutual translation. The Loen language spoken by Odysseus also sounded like Giant language and Elvish language to them.

Just as Odysseus was about to answer, a familiar figure suddenly emerged from the rock-blocked cave. Danitz's eyes were immediately filled with ecstasy.

Wearing a shirt and dark trousers, Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina glanced at the three of them, and a look of obvious surprise appeared in her usual cold expression.

However, she quickly adjusted her mood and expression, raised her head and said to the giant, "Groselle, this is my companion."

Groselle grinned and asked happily, "Are you here to deal with Jurisian as well?"

Odysseus thought about it for a moment and remembered the corresponding information: Julian was the "King of the North".

So he replied, "Yes."

Groselle laughed and said, "Then we are friends."

Only then did the elven woman put down the bow and arrow in her hand.

Edwina waved to Odysseus and the other three, motioning them to come over.

The three of them came closer, and Edwina introduced them to each other. Groselle was the leader of the camp, and the female elf was called Siatas.

After completing the basic introductions, Groselle said with a smile, "Let's go into the camp. We are about to fight the evil dragon, Jurisian."

Odysseus sighed in his heart: So warm and kind.

Thinking this in his mind, he took off the rapier from his waist and handed it to Lieutenant General Iceberg.

Edwina took the sword and led the way, whispering, "The history they spoke was a little strange, and so was the language. No matter which language they spoke, they could understand each other."

Odysseus whispered a reminder, "This is in a book after all. Many common sense things may have been reshaped. Or perhaps we can be set up so that we can understand the ancient giant language and the ancient elven language."

Klein nodded, thinking that this explanation made sense.

Danitz was stunned when he heard this: "Set... set."

There is such a setting in the book, so they understood it?
At this time they entered the interior of the cave, and there were three people sitting by the campfire.

One of them was a middle-aged man wearing an extremely simple white robe. He was facing the stone wall with his back to the fire.

Next to him was a young man wearing black armor and sleeping with a stone as his pillow, and opposite him was a man in his thirties wearing asymmetrical and uncoordinated clothes.

Edwina first introduced the middle-aged man facing the stone wall: "That is Mr. Snowman, the ascetic monk. He believes in 'the Lord who created everything, the omniscient and almighty God.'"

Odysseus walked over and asked, "Mr. Ascetic, have you heard of the 'Sage'?"
