Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 334: Assassination of Duke Negan (Please give me your monthly ticket!)
In the carriage of a moving luxurious carriage.

Odysseus's words stunned Audrey. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Duke Negan's reputation is quite good."

"What you call reputation is just the evaluation of the aristocratic circle." Odysseus said, "There are also some things that the nobles disdain to discuss."

He smiled and said, "Let's take a look at the information I provided first."

Audrey nodded slowly and said nothing more.

Odysseus smiled and said, "It's been a while since we last met. Let's talk about something happy."

"But it's hard for me to find happy topics." Audrey sighed.

After learning that the Hermit's target was Duke Negan, Audrey was no longer happy.

"I came to Backlund for another reason," Odysseus said with a smile. "During an exploration mission, I found a gentleman trapped in a special space.

"He's from Backlund and has been trapped there for over a hundred years. Now that he's finally returned to the real world, he hopes I can help him find his family."

"Over a hundred years?" Audrey was drawn to the new topic. "What a wonderful experience! Did you help him find his family?"

"Found it." Odysseus began to talk about Longzel. As he expected, Audrey stopped talking about Duke Negan for the time being.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Odysseus said goodbye and left.

When the carriage door was closed again, Anne and Susie, who were in the same carriage, seemed to come to their senses suddenly and felt as if they were in a trance.

Then Susie was a little puzzled. Why did Audrey's expression become so serious in the blink of an eye?
But now was not the time to ask these questions. After they got home and the maids helped Audrey change into pajamas and left, Susie dared to ask a question, but Audrey got there first: "Susie, hold the door for me. I have something important to do."

Susie saw Audrey's serious expression and realized that now was not the right time to mention the dog biscuit reward, so she agreed, "Okay, Audrey."

While Susie was waiting outside the door, Audrey entered her study and used the bestowal ceremony to obtain a stack of information.

Only then did Audrey give Susie a pack of dog biscuits, and then she looked at the materials carefully.

The more I watched, the more shocking it became. I never expected that Duke Negan had brutally suppressed a workers' strike and killed farmers working in his estate just because they were not polite enough in greeting.

There were also several legal brothels in Bayam, whose owner was also Duke Negan, and almost all the women there were deceived from the East District of Backlund.

Their fate was tragic. After falling ill or no longer young, they were driven out onto the streets, and most of them died miserably in Bayam.

These things account for less than one twentieth of the entire document.

For a moment, Audrey was silent. She had no intention of reporting Mr. Hermit. Her original idea was to pray to Mr. Fool, explaining that the Hermit was going to assassinate Duke Negan, and asking Mr. Fool to come forward and resolve the matter.

But at this moment, she didn’t know how to tell The Fool about this matter.

In Audrey's impression, Mr. Fool has always been the nemesis of evil, and now Duke Negan is obviously evil.

And she didn't expect that Duke Negan, who looked very kind every time they met, also had a vicious side.

……

Backlund West District, 68 West Second Street.

Following Bernadette's instructions in the afternoon, Odysseus arrived at the townhouse. When he was about to ring the doorbell, the door opened by itself.

But this time there was someone in the living room. Bernadette sat on the sofa and asked, "Have you had dinner?"

"I've eaten." Odysseus went to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water and looked around: "The environment here is very nice."

Bernadette noticed that something was wrong with Odysseus: "The mission is not going well?"

Odysseus smiled bitterly: "Someone noticed."

"Did you notice?" Bernadette was stunned. "Who?"

"Luckily, it was someone I knew before." Odysseus said, "I was able to stabilize her for the time being.

"But the assassination must be carried out in advance. I plan to carry out the assassination tomorrow morning."

Bernadette frowned: "It's too hasty."

"Yes, it was too hasty." Odysseus smiled. "But it's not that bad. As I said before, that duke is not difficult to kill."

Bernadette nodded: "If you need help, just ask."

Odysseus hummed and drank the water in the glass. "I need to rest early today. I have to go to Queen's Road at four o'clock tomorrow morning."

Bernadette got up and took Odysseus to the room prepared for him.

Lying on the bed, Odysseus immediately fell asleep through "meditation". There would be a fierce battle tomorrow and he had to be in the best condition.

At four o'clock in the morning on Saturday, a spiritual reminder suddenly made Odysseus open his eyes. After a while, he got up and put on a knight's uniform that was convenient for him to move in, then took the briefcase and checked the scroll.

He then took out all the sealed objects and placed them beside him, put on the leather case containing the "Staff of Gus", and finally put on the "Black Spider Arm Guards" with two-meter-long blades, changing his appearance.

The last preparation was to use the crystal ball to predict whether today's action would go smoothly, and the result was "there will be twists and turns, but overall it will go smoothly."

After preparing everything, Odysseus used his ability of "travel" to come to a corner of Queen's Road.

The moment he emerged from the spirit world into the real world, Odysseus used an "invisibility scroll" and waited quietly by the roadside.

The information about Duke Negan that Odysseus had previously accumulated mentioned that as he grew older, Duke Negan's sleep time decreased significantly, and he would go to the office before six o'clock in the morning.

Odysseus hid in the thin mist and waited quietly.

After using many "invisibility scrolls", the iron gate of Duke Negan's mansion was suddenly opened, and seven luxurious carriages rushed out from inside.

The convoy passed by Odysseus quickly, with the curtains closed, so the scene inside the carriages could not be seen clearly.

Odysseus vaguely sensed that there seemed to be a Sequence 5 in the rear carriage.

Instead of chasing after them immediately, he planned to wait and go to the first fork in the road to see which way the convoy would take.

Because there are five roads from here to the office in the north district, the convoy may not take any one of them.

Just when Odysseus was about to use his "travel" ability, he suddenly thought: I wonder if Duke Negan has a magical item with the ability to "travel"?

But then he thought, even if he had one, it would be unlikely that he would use it on his way to and from get off work, because he was always under the protection of his secretary and bodyguards. He couldn't equip each of his secretaries and bodyguards with a magical item that could "travel", right?
Otherwise, if he was the only one teleported to the office, then the office would become the most dangerous place.

The key point is that these nobles are most concerned about respectability and are unlikely to do anything alone.

Like Odysseus, he felt that the respectability of those nobles was a joke. It was because of this idea that he did things like "traveling" directly from home to the office.

Thinking of this, Odysseus used "Travel" to come to the first fork in the road. After knowing which route the other party would take, he used "Travel" again to come to the first good ambush location.

Because it was still early, there were only a few homeless people on the street.

Odysseus, in an invisible state, put on the seals one by one and waited quietly.

After waiting for about two minutes, Odysseus saw the lantern swaying back and forth in the dim mist before dawn.

Odysseus planned to attack the second carriage, and by observing the other party's reaction, he could roughly know which carriage Duke Negan was on.

The carriage continued to move at a fast speed, and its target was approaching Odysseus.

Odysseus took a deep breath and attacked suddenly. A two-meter-long "spider leg" suddenly emerged from the arm guard of his right arm. Like cutting tofu, he easily cut the second carriage in half.
Sitting in the carriage was a young man with a surprised look on his face. The sudden change prevented him from drawing his gun before the chopped-off half of the carriage where he was sat crashed into the wall.

Odysseus suddenly felt something was wrong, but instead of attacking immediately, he observed the reactions of the other carriages.

The other carriages ignored Odysseus and drove past him as quickly as possible. At this time, the door of a carriage at the rear opened and a man in his thirties with a stern face jumped out.

It was a Sequence 5. He raised his hand and said, "Imprison!"

At the same time, a carriage in front released a firework.

Odysseus used "Flash" to avoid the opponent's "imprisonment". At this time, he could be sure that Duke Negan was not in this convoy at all.

Otherwise, these carriages must be full of staff or bodyguards, and there would not be only one person in such a large carriage.

Moreover, this Sequence 5 "Punishment Knight" did not choose to immediately protect a carriage, but instead planned to delay the assassin.

The firework was a message to let more people come to support.

Thinking of this, Odysseus did not linger in the battle, but deliberately used the "Monk Ring" to enter the shadows in front of the "Punishment Knight".

For this assassination, Odysseus's idea was not to use the "Scepter of Disaster". Although this level 1 seal was powerful, it made too much noise and was likely to expose himself.

Then, use the seals and scrolls to guide the clues in the direction of the "Aurora Society", or at least create the illusion that this is an extraordinary person on the path of "Secret Prayer".

So this time, Odysseus simply used his windbreaker to cover the leather bag containing the scroll and the leather case containing the "Staff of Gus".

At this time, because he had not yet used his highly recognizable ability, Odysseus immediately retreated, escaped from the shadows to the street next door, and then immediately entered the "spiritual world".

The "Punishment Knight" was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the assassin would disappear all of a sudden!
Then he seemed to think of something and ran back quickly.

A second or two later, Odysseus appeared again in front of Duke Negan's mansion, and he immediately used an "invisibility scroll" on himself.

It was still dark at this time, but lights could be seen on in many rooms of the official residence.

Odysseus estimated the time, quickly made a prediction, and "flashed" along Queen's Road towards the North District.

When leaving Queen's Boulevard and arriving at Johnado Boulevard in the Hilton District, Odysseus saw three carriages running towards him.

Just as Odysseus expected, since there was a convoy to provide cover, the carriage that the real Duke Negan was riding in should have set off shortly after the fake convoy set off.

It is impossible that the cover convoy has reached the destination while the real convoy has not yet set off, otherwise the cover will be in vain.

So Odysseus did not break into Duke Negan's residence, but quickly found his way along the way.

Jonado Avenue is not the best ambush location because it is too close to Queen's Avenue. Many nobles have extraordinary bodyguards in their homes, or the nobles themselves are extraordinary people.

If there is a fierce battle here, they will definitely come to check it out, and in that case, the enemy will probably increase in number.

So end the battle as soon as possible!

Odysseus rushed forward and threw out a scroll designed for this assassination: "Important!"

A scroll made of the "Iron Law Stone" was thrown out, creating a violent mental shock within dozens of meters around.

The three horses pulling the carriages and the coachmen fainted instantly.

Not only them, but also ordinary people within a radius of dozens of meters around them, as well as all self-aware creatures, all fainted.

Odysseus's bottom line has always been that it doesn't matter if one more Extraordinary person is killed, but ordinary people should be avoided as much as possible.

After all, from the moment they take the potion, the Extraordinary People are equivalent to entering a very cruel world, and the power they gain from taking the potion is equivalent to the Extraordinary People tacitly accepting everything in this cruel world.

Because the horses suddenly fell, the three carriages lost control one after another.

However, Extraordinary people will not faint, especially the "Mid-Sequence" Extraordinary people, who will only feel a swelling in the head and feel very uncomfortable, which will be relieved after a few seconds.

Odysseus had already rushed forward and used his second scroll: "Imagination!"

This is a scroll made using the "Imagination Fruit". For a moment, Duke Negan's secretary, Lockhard Siakam, started fighting with the imaginary enemy and rushed down from the carriage.

Duke Negan was trying hard to blow the conch he had "imagined", hoping to invite the "Singer of God" Ace Snake to come for support as soon as possible.

Odysseus saw that Duke Negan's secretary got off the second carriage and immediately had a goal: "Death!"

He broke through the wooden door, punched Duke Negan out of the carriage, and threw him heavily to the ground.

At this time, the effect of the "Fantasy Scroll" had disappeared. The seriously injured Duke Negan came to his senses and quickly reached out to grab the real conch.

Of course, Odysseus would not give him such an opportunity. In the "Black Spider Arm Guards", the long spider legs stretched out and pierced the conch, causing it to deflate, and at the same time pierced Duke Negan's chest.

"Chaos!" Secretary Lockhard, who had recovered from his "dream", immediately used his extraordinary ability on Odysseus.

Odysseus's mind was somewhat "confused" and he did not give Duke Negan the final blow. Instead, he took out the "Staff of Gus" and rushed towards Lockhard.

The secretary breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment the head of the "Gus Staff" was shining brightly with stars, and the light of morning light descended upon the surroundings.

The "Light of Dawn" has the effect of breaking all extraordinary things, and the "confusion" in Odysseus's mind has been alleviated.

But he did not return to attack Duke Negan, who was struggling to escape. Instead, he directed a scroll at the Sequence 5 secretary, "Chaos!"

Lockhard hadn't expected the assassin to have a scroll with similar abilities to his own, so he quickly went to "twist" the scroll to where it had exploded.

As a result, he discovered that this scroll was very advanced and his "twist" ability had almost no effect on it.

The next second, Lockhard was affected by the scroll and fell into a state of confusion. He left the enemy in front of him and rushed over to protect Duke Negan.

The starlight on the top of the "Staff of Gus" in Odysseus's hand was shining brightly, and the dawn-like light descended around him again. The light quickly solidified and formed a huge two-handed sword, which suddenly stabbed towards the secretary's back.

"Imprison!" A Sequence 6 Judge climbed out from another carriage and stopped Odysseus in time.

But the "Sword of Dawn" in his hand can cut through all extraordinary things. Odysseus cut through the cage and stabbed Lockhard again.

At this time, Lockhard's "confused" state was about to end. He was already prepared and avoided the vital points. Odysseus only stabbed his right shoulder and almost cut off his entire shoulder.

The intense pain caused Lockhard's "confused" state to end prematurely, but Odysseus immediately followed up with another scroll and said in ancient Hermetic language: "Art!"

Lockhard's spirit immediately felt threatened and fled in a different direction from Duke Negan.

It is also very good to attract the assassin's attack at this time.

But what the secretary didn't expect was that this scroll was a "group attack" skill.

Odysseus just snapped his fingers.

Duke Negan, who had been injured in the chest before, had his chest cavity exploded right in front of Lockhard, his spine and ribs were turned out, and his internal organs were almost completely blown to pieces.

But Duke Negan, as an extraordinary person, was not completely dead yet. He just fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Even a Sequence 6 would have no chance of survival after such a serious injury, though his brain could still function normally for a while.

Odysseus did not kill Duke Negan immediately, but snapped his fingers at Lockhard again.

slap~
"Wait a minute, I..." Secretary Lockhard was blown into the sky before he could finish his words.

Because the injuries he had just suffered were more serious than those suffered by Duke Negan, the explosion was more powerful, directly blowing off his head, half of his chest and left shoulder.

When it fell to the ground, it was already in two pieces.

The scroll used by Odysseus was made from the "whispering of the true creator" and the blood of the "black spider".

It is much more powerful than the ordinary "flesh bomb" and is also a scroll designed specifically for this battle.

Moreover, Odysseus also knew what the secretary wanted to say, because this guy seemed to be an informant of the "Twilight Hermit Society" and he probably wanted to save his life by exposing his identity.

How could Odysseus give him such an opportunity? His first mate Bazel was still waiting for the secretary's special promotion.

If the Twilight Hermits asked, I would just say I didn't know, since they didn't tell me anyway. Of course, the Twilight Hermits probably wouldn't ask about such a thing.

Odysseus looked at the "judge" who had just climbed out of the car. The other party had just been affected by the "Impact Scroll" and "Fantasy Scroll" successively, and had just recovered when he stepped forward to protect Lockhard.

At this time, the "judge" saw that Duke Negan was beyond saving and Lockhard was dead, so he immediately fled.

slap~
Another snap of fingers.

The Judge's left hand had just been scratched, and even this minor injury was caused by his own flesh and blood blasting away. Odysseus suddenly followed with "Flash": Harvest!
Killed the severely injured Sequence 6 with one punch.

At this time, Duke Negan finally died in pain.

At this time, Odysseus raised the "Staff of Gus", and the starlight on the top of the staff shone brightly. The bodies of the three extraordinary people were blown together and then fell in the distance of the battlefield.

Then, the starlight at the head of the "Gus Staff" shone brightly, and a layer of white light belonging to the "Death God" path descended around it. The extraordinary characteristics of the three people quickly emerged.

After Odysseus picked up the trait, he threw out another scroll without even searching him: "Whispering!"

This is also a scroll designed using the "Whispers of the True Creator". Odysseus also spent a lot of money on this assassination mission, because the "Whispers of the True Creator" can only make 9 scrolls, and 2 of them are used here.

Maddening "whispers" were heard, and the remaining spirits of Duke Negan and the other three had no ability to resist at this time. They were immediately contaminated, and even if they "communicated with spirits", they would not obtain any useful information.

Not only their spirits, but also the surrounding natural spirits were affected, unable to provide any useful clues to the official Beyonders.

This is also why Odysseus wanted to blow their bodies farther away, otherwise those ordinary people and horses who fainted would be affected by the "whispering" and turn into monsters.

Odysseus quickly checked the scene to make sure there were no clues left, and then, in line with the idea of doing the whole show, he quickly jumped into the "shadow" again.

This scene happened to be seen by the "Punishment Knight" who came to support from the "fake convoy".

Seeing the scattered internal organs, flesh and blood fragments, and large patches of blood on the ground, the "Punishment Knight" was stunned for three seconds before reacting and checking to see if Duke Negan could be saved.

Afterwards, Duke Negan's bodyguards arrived one after another, and some extraordinary people from Queen's Road also came to check the situation.

However, because the fireworks that were set off earlier misled the first batch of extraordinary forces to support, it took more than 20 minutes for the police and official extraordinary people to arrive.

About half an hour after Duke Negan's death, "Singer of God" Ace Snake arrived by flying. He had just gone for a walk in the park and was unable to receive the notification from his subordinates in the first place.

……

Bayam Port.

A middle-aged man with deep eyes got off the passenger ship with simple luggage.

This was Klein's new appearance. He planned to stay in Bayam for a while before heading back to Backlund.

Klein quickly left the port, preparing to find a hotel to stay in.

As soon as he left the dock and was about to wave at a nearby horse-drawn carriage, he heard a newsboy shout, "The airship just delivered the special edition from Backlund! Duke Negan has been assassinated!"

Klein took out a penny and said, "Give me a newspaper."

After taking the newspaper from the newsboy, he read the contents of the newspaper and said to himself: "The Hermit is so fast!"
Yesterday, "The Hermit" suddenly provided "Justice" with information about Duke Negan, and Klein felt something was wrong.

He briefly flipped through the materials and guessed that the "Hermit" might be doing something bad to Duke Negan, and hoped that Miss "Justice" could provide some information.

In order to better convince Miss Justice, Duke Negan's evil deeds were exposed.

But Klein didn't expect to see the report of Duke Negan being assassinated the next morning.

After taking a quick look at the report, Klein put away the newspaper and walked towards the rental carriage.

Klein didn't have much subjective comment on Duke Negan's death. As someone from the Eastern University in the AD era, he couldn't say he hated the nobles of that era, but he definitely didn't have any admiration or love for them either.

Klein was involved in the assassination of Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilingos because both Justice and The Hanged Man were involved in the incident, and he was swept up in it.

It’s not that he supports Duke Negan in his heart.

……

Backlund, Queen's Road, in Earl Hall's luxurious villa.

Audrey, who hadn't slept well the previous night, came to the restaurant and saw that her father and brother were not there. She asked her mother, Caitlin, "Where's Dad?"

"I went out on an urgent matter." Caitlin took a sip of juice and said, "Duke Negan was assassinated. Both the Conservative Party and the Progressive Party will be very busy today."

"What?" Audrey didn't hide her surprise. "So... when did it happen?"

What she blurted out just now was "so fast". She had just encountered "The Hermit" stalking at the dance yesterday, and as a result, Duke Negan was killed today.

"It's said that it happened around five this morning," Caitlin, who knew some of the inside story, said, "The assassin ambushed Duke Negan on his way to work."

Audrey sat in her seat and took a deep breath before saying, "Mother, I remember that Duke Negan has some special abilities."

She was subtly reminding her mother that Duke Negan was an extraordinary person, so his death might also be related to his extraordinary nature.

"I'm not exactly sure," Caitlin said. "I only heard it was horrific."

Audrey suddenly didn't know what to do. Although she knew that the murderer should be the "Hermit", these clues could not be provided to the official Beyonders.

But doing nothing made her feel inexplicably guilty.

After she quickly made a "psychological sketch" for herself, Audrey roughly understood that the reason she felt guilty was that Duke Negan had always been very kind to her and often gave her gifts. He had also given her a large rubber plantation after exposing the assassination of Qilingos.

But she did not choose to help Duke Negan, so she felt a little guilty.

Audrey ate breakfast in a somewhat depressed mood, and felt preoccupied the entire morning.

At lunchtime, her father, Earl Hall, and Audrey's eldest brother, Hibbert Hall, appeared in the restaurant.

Audrey quickly inquired about the assassination of Duke Negan.

"Judging from the scene, it seems to be an organization called the 'Aurora Society' that did it." Earl Hall talked about the information he received from the official Beyonders:

"The only thing that puzzled the police was that the members of that organization were very crazy and brutal. The assassin brutally killed Negan and his secretary, but the drivers just fainted and were not seriously injured."

Hibbert said, "Perhaps time was of the essence and the assassins didn't have time to kill them."

Lord Hall said nothing, but evidently felt differently.

Audrey had a corresponding understanding of this. In a fierce and extraordinary battle, killing an ordinary person was often more convenient than knocking them out.

After hearing this news, Audrey no longer wavered. It was obvious that the "Hermit" still had his bottom line and did not kill any innocent people.

Then she recalled the information provided by the "Hermit", that Duke Negan was guilty of heinous crimes and should be punished accordingly.

……

Backlund West District, 68 West Second Street.

Odysseus sat on the sofa, looking at the newspaper in his hand. "These reporters are really good at making up stories. They even said that I had been lurking for several weeks and used small artillery during the assassination."

Bernadette, who was standing by, said, "Judging from the situation at the scene, it does look like it was bombed."

Odysseus folded the newspaper. "The more they can make up, the safer I will be."

Then he stood up and said, "I heard there's a restaurant in Bayam that makes delicious fish soup. Let's go there for lunch.

"Let's go back to Backlund this afternoon and visit the National Gallery. I heard there are many collections of kings and nobles there."

Art galleries occasionally invite nobles to display their collections. This is an opportunity for the nobles to demonstrate their vision and strength, so they are generally happy to send their collections.

Bernadette smiled and said, "You don't feel any pressure at all. Right now, all the official Beyonders in Backlund should be hoping to capture you."

Odysseus smiled and said, "What does the assassin who killed Duke Negan have to do with a tourist like me? I'll just have fun as I please."

Bernadette thought about it and agreed, so she had no objection. She and Odysseus stood up and used their extraordinary abilities to go to Bayam for dinner.

……

Bayam, Old Quinn's Fish Restaurant.

Klein was enjoying the local specialty fish soup when suddenly his spiritual sense sensed something and he looked towards the restaurant's entrance.

Then he felt his eyes brighten up, and saw Bernadette, with a heroic temperament between her brows, coming in wearing a simple and beautiful long dress.

Klein was slightly dazed, as if he had returned to the AD era and saw an upper-class woman.

Then he sighed inwardly: Bernadette's dressing style was indeed greatly influenced by Russell.

Then Klein looked to the side of Bernadette. It was a young man, handsome and cheerful. The mustache on his upper lip gave him a mature aura.

Gal!

Odysseus Gall!
Klein immediately recognized that the person who came in with Bernadette was none other than the Hermit!
Although he was wearing makeup and had a completely different appearance and temperament from when they explored Whale Island together, Klein, who possessed the ability of "Faceless Man", still recognized him immediately.

However, he concealed his surprise very well, looked away and continued eating.

Moreover, his gaze just now was not abrupt. After all, all the men in the restaurant had just looked at Bernadette. If Klein had not looked over, it would have seemed very suspicious.

Then Klein thought to himself, "The Hermit's mental strength is truly strong. He completed the assassination this morning, and now he still has the energy to come to the restaurant for lunch."

This indirectly shows that the "Hermit" is very confident in his actions and is not afraid of being found by the official Beyonders.

……

Neither Odysseus nor Bernadette noticed Klein.

This was mainly because the image of German Sparrow was very recognizable, while Klein's new image was very common in Backlund, so neither of them paid attention to Klein.

Odysseus thought the fish soup in this restaurant was okay, or perhaps he actually felt that the food in various countries in the Northern Continent was similar and not very palatable, so he could only describe it as "okay".

During the conversation, Odysseus told Bernadette that he should be able to establish a cooperative relationship with the Church of Knowledge recently, and he would go to Lenburg to develop in the future.

Bernadette was slightly stunned, then said "Oh" nonchalantly.

In the afternoon, the two returned to Backlund and wandered around the art gallery. Odysseus personally felt that it was more meaningful than the Loen Kingdom Museum. At least he saw many precious artifacts, although most of them were looted.

On the return carriage, Odysseus said goodbye to Bernadette. He had been out for several days and had to take a look at the sea.

Odysseus is "favored by the night", which has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that it is very easy to completely hide your tracks, and even demigods find it difficult to detect.

The downside is that even Odysseus's messenger couldn't find him, so he had to ask the messenger to deliver the letter to a fixed place, which was the captain's room of the "Argo".

So if friends or subordinates have any urgent matters, they can't find Odysseus at all.

Odysseus hasn't been to the captain's room for four consecutive days, so he has to go back and take a look.

Back at the residence, Bernadette watched Odysseus leave the living room using the "travel" function. After a few minutes of "travel" in the spirit world, Odysseus returned to the captain's cabin and continued his voyage to Cruz Island.

……

The next morning, a thin mist rose in the sea around Cruz Island, which had just experienced a heavy rain.

The Argo and the Golden Dream cut through the mist and sailed across the sea, arriving near Cruz Island while the people on the island were having breakfast.

Odysseus flew onto the Golden Dream and said to Vice Admiral Iceberg, who was standing at the bow, with a smile, "We've arrived at the perfect time. We'll soon demolish the dam and flood the newly renovated harbor with seawater."

Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina looked at the dam for a while before saying, "Those dams seem to be made of wood, right?"

Odysseus smiled and said, "I designed a water barrier on it. For short-term use, it's more convenient than a concrete dam."

Edwina nodded and said, "I'll go over and take a look."

As she spoke, her eyes suddenly turned blue, and a hurricane blew her up and flew towards the dam.

Odysseus, the master, also flew over.

When she arrived at "Moon Bay", Edwina realized that the project of renovating the port was huge. Inside the dam was a large and deep pit with a layer of stones at the bottom of the pit, which could effectively prevent the sea water in the port from becoming turbid.

"Admiral Iceberg" made a quick visual estimate and found that most of the docks in this port were at least 20 meters deep.

A rectangular pier extends from the front of the town. The soil under the pier has not been dug out, and a sturdy pier is built with concrete on the basis of the soil.

Docks were also built on the coast of the circular bay. Edwina didn't know what the port looked like originally, but it was now an excellent deep-water port that could accommodate more than a hundred large ships.

For a remote island, this is definitely a huge project.

However, Edwina did not show her inner thoughts, but began to look at the magic circle inside the dam.

At the same time, she noticed that Moon Bay was surrounded by people, who were probably there to watch the water being released into the port.

These people should all be ordinary people, but they don’t seem too surprised by the “flying technique” and “wind control technique”. More people are pointing at the dam rather than the two people flying in the air.

There were also a few people at the bottom of the harbor, seemingly doing a final inspection.

In addition, there were two people guarding in front of the dam, each carrying a sealed bucket of water behind him.

While observing the surrounding details, Edwina also took in the entire magic circle.

But to her disappointment, this magic circle was just like the previous "Soul Trapping Magic Circle", filled with many "Gal Runes" and was completely incomprehensible.

Drop~
Just then, a whistle sounded on the shore.

Odysseus said, "Let's begin making final preparations for flood discharge."

Edwina had memorized all the runes and graphics of the magic circle, so she also looked towards the direction of the port, curious about how to dismantle the wooden dam with the magic circle on it?

Drop~
At this time, the second whistle sounded, and the few people who had just done the final inspection at the bottom of the harbor had withdrawn.

The two people guarding the dam suddenly jumped up and climbed quickly, and soon reached the top of the dam which was more than 20 meters high.

As soon as they moved, Edwina realized that they were two "extraordinary puppets".

Judging from the appearance and movements alone, it is no different from a real person.

Although Odysseus didn't say anything and Edwina didn't ask, she knew very well that these "puppets" must have undergone certain improvements compared to the "extraordinary puppets" she first saw on the "Argo".

Drop~
The third whistle sounded, and the two "extraordinary puppets" standing on the top of the "dam" took off the buckets on their backs, unscrewed the lids, and then quickly poured the liquid in the buckets from the middle to the inner wall of the dam on both sides.

The liquid in the bucket is a special extraordinary potion. It flows down the inner wall and washes the magic circle above it clean.

Click~
Ordinary wood could not withstand the water pressure of seawater at all. First, a big hole appeared on the bottom side, and then the hole on the wooden dam became bigger and bigger, and the entire wooden dam quickly collapsed.

A large amount of sea water rushed into the harbor with great momentum. The people watching the excitement on the surrounding docks were frightened and screamed and retreated.

However, in the end, no sea water hit the shore, but quickly filled the harbor, and calm was soon restored.

The crew members on the "Golden Dream" were stunned by the scene before them. They originally thought that this was just a small island and the port would not be very big.

At this time, the sea water filled the port, and they saw that this was actually a port of the size of a small city.

After the sea level returned to normal, someone started cheering at the harbor.

Soon the cheers spread to the people around, and cheers continued one after another.

Edwina, who was in mid-air, asked Odysseus, not quite understanding, "What are they cheering for?"
