Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 357: The Transport Captain from the Moss Ascetic Order

On the day of the Pirate Conference, at the dock of Cruz Island.

After the surprise attack of the "Moss Ascetic Order" was thwarted, their demigod took decisive action.

One of the demigods "reappeared" as a monster with two long arms, a shriveled body, dark skin, and a thin and long head.

As soon as it appeared, the surrounding creatures would fall asleep. The Sequence 7 Beyonders of the "Sword of Dawn" could not hold on any longer. They were still fighting one second and fell asleep on the ground the next.

Although Sequence 5 and 6 members like Groselle and Basel didn't fall asleep immediately, their reactions became much slower.

Under the manipulation of the "mystic", the members of the "Moss Ascetic Order" were not affected.

This is the power of demigods. Their abilities are enough to defeat several Sequence 5 and Sequence 6 figures.

Just as the members of the Moss Ascetic Order were about to continue besieging Groselle and the others who were in poor condition, a staff suddenly flew out from the corner and pierced the center of the battlefield.

Immediately afterwards, a surge of power descended, and Groselle and the other five "people in the book," as well as Alger, Cattleya, Edwina, and others, suddenly felt sober and recovered.

The members of the "Moss Ascetic Order" stood there, as if they were suddenly in a state of confusion.

The pirates who were watching the excitement were also stunned. The scene before them was beyond their cognition and expectations.

……

In fact, not long after the raid of the "Moss Ascetic Order" began, Odysseus arrived at the square at the dock.

It’s just that he used the “Invisibility Scroll” and came here in an invisible state.

Because of the help of the "Goddess of Night", even if there are angels around, it is difficult to see through Odysseus's invisibility effect.

He hid in the corner and waited for the demigod of the "Moss Ascetic Order" who was also waiting in secret to make the first move.

When the opponent's demigod attacked, Odysseus suppressed his sleepiness and threw the "Staff of Gus" in his hand into the center of the battlefield.

Then he used the method of "meditation" to enter the "Wilderness of Knowledge". This time, he wrapped the "Hermit" card with his spiritual body and placed all the spiritual materials of the demigod level around him.

Finally, he picked up the "Staff of Gus" stored in the "Wilderness of Knowledge" in one hand, and held two drops of the "Elf King's" divine blood in the other, and poured the surging power into the real world.

……

Above the dock of Cruz Island, a tall and majestic figure wearing a smock and leaning on a long cane in his right hand suddenly appeared.

When Groselle saw this image, he immediately felt that this was the "hermit" who showed the way to the lost!
Siatas asked herself uncertainly, "'Sage'?"

Mobet and the ascetic Snowman bowed devoutly. They were both people who had seen miracles and knew very well the proper courtesy when facing gods.

Even if you don't believe in the god in front of you, you still have to pay your respects devoutly.

In particular, Snowman bowed and said in a solemn voice: "Your wisdom is as bright as the sun. Praising your virtues and practicing your requirements for asceticism are all approaching the truth."

After hearing such praise, Mobet wanted to ask: Is this the "sage" you mentioned before?
But now is obviously not the time to discuss this, we can only wait until later.

Although Longzel had faith, he had never directly experienced a miracle, so like most other people, he was somewhat at a loss.

Alger and Cattleya understood: This is the person the Hermit is loyal to!
When fighting for the "Scepter of Disaster" before, Alger had actually encountered the "Lord of Mysteries". However, at that time, he was only focused on escaping and had no idea that the existence that was putting so much pressure on him was the "Lord of Mysteries".

Now he understood.

"Lieutenant General Disease" and other "Pirate Generals" were surprised, but they suppressed their trembling hearts and carefully observed the existence in the air.

I couldn't see the face of that being clearly, but I could only feel that he was very powerful and mysterious.

The staff in his hand seemed to be nothing special, but if you took a closer look, you could see infinite possibilities and overwhelming power.

In His other palm, half was filled with thunder and lightning, and the other half was filled with surging waves.

The "pirate generals" only dared to look here and quickly turned their eyes away, not daring to continue looking.

However, the image of that being was deeply imprinted in their minds, and they were ready to report it to their superiors as soon as they left Cruz Island.

At this moment, the being in the air suddenly swung his cane, and a tall and majestic illusory figure appeared in front of him. The figure wore a crown, held a scepter, and sat on a tall wooden chair.

That is the "Night Emperor" Trunsoest!

Although Odysseus has the ability of "mysterious reappearance" in the "wilderness of knowledge" at this time, he needs to use the spiritual materials of the demigod level as a basis to fully display this ability.

This is like the previous process of using "witchcraft". Because Odysseus himself does not have the ability to "mysteriously reappear", high-level spiritual materials must be used as "initiatives".

Odysseus recreated the situation of Trunsoste in a certain battle. The "Stone of Iron Law" beside him suddenly shattered and completely lost its spirituality.

Odysseus felt somewhat distressed by this. He didn't expect that the spiritual power of the "Stone of Iron Law" would be exhausted just by using "Mysterious Reappearance". If it hadn't been used here, Odysseus could have used it to make more than a dozen high-level scrolls.

However, the effect of the ability to "reappear" is also very good. Everyone who sees His figure on Cruz Island suddenly feels dwarfed.

Only then did they realize that they had actually knelt down.

Among those kneeling were two members of the "Ten Pillars" of the "Order of Moses", a "mystic" and a "master of prophecy".

But everyone's reaction was not the ability displayed by Trunsoest, but simply the mental pressure possessed by the "Judge".

The monster with long arms that had "reappeared" before was immediately dispersed by this pressure.

This illusory "Emperor of Night" seemed to nonchalantly say to the two demigods: "Death!"

The "mystic" suddenly convulsed and fell to the ground dead without even reacting.

This was the "order" given by the "Emperor of Night" to his etheric body, astral body, and spiritual body, and this "mystic" was completely unprepared, so his physical body, spiritual body, and spirit all obeyed the "arrangement" of the "Emperor of Night" and died "from the inside out."

In other words, his spirit and soul did not question the Night Emperor's orders, believing themselves truly dead! His soul was even heading towards the underworld, and his spirit was rapidly dissipating.

Not to mention the body, which also thinks it is dead and quickly begins to stiffen.

However, the "master of prophecy" "predicted" that he might encounter a similar disaster, so he made certain preparations. The moment he knelt down, he took out an antique mirror.

When the "Emperor of Night" uttered the syllable "death", the ancient mirror suddenly shattered and died in place of the "Master of Prophecy".

Although the "Master of Prophecy"'s spirit and soul were also affected, his life was not in danger.

The "prediction" of the "prophet" cannot predict the specific time when he will encounter danger, so he does not know that his life will be in danger in today's operation, and thus does not know how great the risk of this operation is.

Also, because Odysseus possesses the "Wilderness of Knowledge", the "Lord of Mysteries" cannot "predict" it, so his "prediction" before taking action is only that "this action will be dangerous."

If there were no variable of "Lord of Mysteries", it would indeed be just "somewhat dangerous".

In the next second, the moment the "reappearing" "Night Emperor" disappeared, the "Master of Prophecy" quickly entered the spiritual world.

He knew very well that he was no match for the person in front of him, and if he didn't run now, he would not be able to escape.

If Odysseus had not obtained the "Hermit" card, he would have had no choice but to watch him escape. But now it is different. After Odysseus has the "Hermit" card, not only is the image of the "Lord of Mysteries" more oppressive, he can also use the ability of "reappearance".

However, the prerequisite is that there must be enough extraordinary materials at the demigod level so that the "reproduction" can be decent.

Or it is like the "reappearance" of the divine level.

At this time, Odysseus used the power of the "Wilderness of Knowledge" to wrap the material affected by the "Breath of the Hades" and used the ability of "reproduction".

The material with a special aura was seized by Odysseus and Bernadette when they entered the "Star Ring" to explore a few days ago.

To be precise, it is a material formed by seizing extraordinary characteristics and separating the aura from the characteristics.

According to Odysseus's research, these materials were not only affected by the "Emperor of the Underworld", but also seemed to be affected by the source material "River of Eternal Darkness".

However, this influence was too weak, and it only formed spiritual materials at the demigod level.

Originally, Odysseus planned to study several advanced scrolls of the "Death God" path, but now he has to deal with the emergency first.

The "Lord of Mysteries" must kill the "Master of Prophecy", otherwise if he cannot even survive with the two demigods, everyone will doubt the power of the "Lord of Mysteries".

Under the influence of the surging power of the "Wilderness of Knowledge", Odysseus used the "Hermit" card and the "Staff of Gus" as a medium to "recreate" a tall illusory figure.

He has a cold face and temperament, sitting on a tall chair made of bones and skulls, giving off a huge sense of oppression that strikes directly into the soul.

This is the "Emperor of the Underworld" Salinger!
Odysseus "recreated" the scene when the "King of Hell" ascended to the throne of God.

Groselle, Alger, and the others, as well as all the pirates, had just stood up, then fell to the ground again.

Compared to the mental pressure brought on by the "Emperor of Night", the pressure from the "Emperor of Hades" directly hits the soul, making people's legs weak, their whole body trembling, and even unable to kneel or sit. They can only crawl on the ground and worship the "Emperor of Hades".

The surrounding spiritual world was in turmoil. The "Master of Prophecy" who had just entered the spiritual world stopped for a moment and was rejected by the spiritual world. He returned to the real world, where he had just entered the spiritual world.

At this time, the "Emperor of the Underworld" Salinger glanced at him, and the "Master of Prophecy" paused again. In just a moment, he was already dead.

With the disappearance of the shadow of the "Emperor of the Underworld", Odysseus finally breathed a sigh of relief. The reappearance of the two "Emperors" made him feel that a lot of his spiritual energy had been consumed.

The main source of power is actually the "wilderness of knowledge", and Odysseus's spirituality only plays a guiding role.

Even so, the "reappearance" of the two gods still placed a heavy burden on Odysseus.

But the effect was very good. In the eyes of others, the "Lord of Mysteries" killed two demigods with ease.

Just as Odysseus was about to retract his power, he suddenly realized something was wrong. He carefully observed the body of the "prophet" and found that there was something wrong with the spiritual fluctuations in the belly of the body.

The next second, the corpse's belly suddenly began to grow bigger, and soon it looked like a pregnant woman about to give birth.

But the "prophet" was a man, which made the scene very strange.

Then the corpse's stomach was broken from the inside and a baby came out!
The baby had chubby hands and feet, and was somewhat similar to the deceased "Master of Prophecy". He did not cry, but looked around blankly at first. When he saw the "Lord of Mysteries", he was startled, as if he had thought of something horrible.

The next moment, the baby grew rapidly, and in less than a second, it became the appearance of a teenager.

This ability was acquired by the "Master of Prophecy" from the knowledge instilled in him by the "Hidden Sage" and the corresponding rituals, as well as the gift from a certain Outer God.

The correct way to use this ability is to actually crawl out of the corpse's stomach like a baby a few hours after the subject's death.

But that was the gaze from the "King of Hades" just now, and the corpse has completely lost its vitality. If I don't use this ability as soon as possible, I will never have the chance to use it!
After regaining the ability to move, the smaller, younger version of the "Master of Prophecy" once again went to the spirit world to escape, but he found that the spirit world was still rejecting him and he could not enter at all.

So a pair of wings immediately grew out from behind the "Master of Prophecy", and he flew into the sky and escaped as quickly as possible.

At the same time, Odysseus used the ability of "reappearance" for the third time. The spiritual materials he used also came from the previous seizure of the "Star Ring".

That is a material affected by the blood-red flame, that is, a material formed by the influence of the "Blood Emperor" Tudor.

In front of the Lord of Mysteries, an illusory figure as big as a mountain suddenly appeared. He sat on an equally huge chair and glanced at the island with a crazy and violent look.

That is the "Blood Emperor" Tudor!
Odysseus "reproduced" the power displayed by the "Blood Emperor" in a certain war between gods.

Groselle, Alger, and the other pirates around them finally stood up trembling uncontrollably, but the next second, they seemed to be hit by something, and for a moment they looked at the people and things around them with disdain.

While several extraordinary people in poor condition lost control, many people started fighting in a daze without knowing why.

Fortunately, they were affected by the two "emperor" phantoms and were a little weak, so there were not too many casualties for a while.

The "Master of Prophecy," who had already flown far away, suddenly felt that he couldn't just let it go. He was clearly the most promising "Master of Prophecy" among the "Ten Pillars." He was clearly already preparing for the promotion ceremony, and if conditions allowed, he could become an angel. But he was defeated just like that, and he had no chance of fighting back.

This made him very unconvinced, and he turned around abruptly and rushed towards the "Lord of Mysteries" again.

The shadow of the "Blood Emperor" did not specifically use the ability of "provoke". He simply appeared there, and the surrounding creatures were provoked.

But the moment the "Master of Prophecy" turned around, his body suddenly ignited with colorless flames.

The next moment, he was burned to ashes.

The speed was so fast that he didn't even have the chance to scream.

Moreover, his spirit and vitality were burned out, and this time he died completely.

The shadow of the "Blood Emperor" in the air quickly disappeared, and those who were fighting soon seemed to regain some of their sanity. They retreated one after another, always on guard against their opponents' further attacks.

Odysseus raised his hand, and the Beyonder characteristics of "Mystic" and "Prophecy Master" flew to Groselle and the others.

Just when he was about to retract his power, he found that the members of the "Mos Ascetic Order" were about to escape, so the divine blood of the "Elf King" in his other hand suddenly surged, and white lightning fell, accurately hitting every member of the "Mos Ascetic Order".

The lightning created by the divine blood of the "Elf King" is more powerful than the lightning created by the "Scepter of Disaster".

This time it was a "group attack skill", which was not as powerful as the one in the "God's Forsaken Land" before, and could make a demigod lose his combat effectiveness with just one blow.

However, even if it was the lightning of "group attack", Beyonders of Sequence 6 and below would die if they were touched by it, and Beyonders of Sequence 6 and below would also lose all their combat effectiveness.

When Odysseus saw that no one would escape, he withdrew all his strength.

After returning to the "Wilderness of Knowledge", Odysseus once again focused his attention on the "Staff of Guth" held by the "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette.

This "Staff of Gus" allows Bernadette to use "Pale Death" more flexibly, and can also help her resist the negative effects of "Pale Death".

Perhaps it was because Bernadette was afraid of causing damage to the city of Wotai, so the two of them were fighting in the wild. A large number of plants and animals had died around the battlefield, and some had turned into rolling streams of information.

With the help of "Pale Death" and "Staff of Gus", Bernadette fought back and forth with Toriopo.

Odysseus felt his own spiritual power and found that it was enough to support a "reappearance", so he immediately projected his power towards Bernadette's position.

……

At this time, in a mountain in Wotaizhou where no one has ever set foot.

Bernadette used the "Death Stare" to look at the information streams rushing towards her. These information streams suddenly stopped rolling and became extremely pale and lifeless.

At this moment, the two people in the battle suddenly felt something and looked up into the air.

A mysterious figure wearing an illusory hood appeared there. He held a lantern in one hand, as if dispelling all confusion and ignorance, and a long cane in the other, as if ready to fight all ignorance and irrationality at any time.

Toriopo, the president of the "Moss Ascetic Order", was about to salute and welcome the awakening of the "Sage", but then he realized that something was wrong with this tall figure. Although it looked like the "Sage", it did not seem to be the real "Sage".

Without hesitation, He immediately transformed into a stream of information, ready to escape.

Bernadette was not surprised by the sudden appearance of the "Lord of Mystery". Although she did not communicate with the "Lord of Mystery", the tacit understanding between her and Odysseus made her roughly guess why the "Lord of Mystery" came here.

At this moment, an illusory and majestic figure appeared in front of the "Lord of Mysteries". He looked at everything in front of him quietly, as if he could plunge everything in front of him into complete chaos in the next second.

This is the "Black Emperor" Solomon.

Odysseus "recreated" the moment when the "Black Emperor" demonstrated his abilities during the war between gods.

The price of this "reappearance" was that the demigod-level spiritual materials previously obtained from Admiral Amyrius were completely consumed.

After Odysseus used up the two "Scrolls of Chaos" he had created before, he temporarily no longer had this ability.

After the shadow of the "Black Emperor" Solomon appeared, Toriopo's brain suddenly fell into a brief state of confusion, but he soon got rid of the state and quickly entered the spiritual world.

At this time, the shadow of the Black Emperor said in a solemn voice: "Weaken."

The president of the "Moss Ascetic Order", who had always been in a state of information flow, suddenly revealed his true face. He was a middle-aged man in his forties with a very pale complexion and two mustaches on his upper lip.

He was greatly "weakened" and fell from Sequence 2 to Sequence 3 in a short period of time.

The next moment, the shadow of the "Black Emperor" Solomon disappeared, and Odysseus, whose spirituality was overdrawn, no longer maintained the image of the "Lord of Mysteries" and returned to the "Wilderness of Knowledge".

Bernadette seized the opportunity, stretched out her hand, and then made a pulling motion.

In front of Toriobo, a pale hand suddenly stretched out from the underworld, grabbed one of Toriobo's arms, and was about to pull him into the underworld.

Toriopo suddenly felt that his life was flying away, as if he would "run" to the end of his life in the next second.

The key point was that he realized that he could not break free from that pale hand at all, and his arm had been pulled into the spiritual world.

The ability of "Master of Prophecy" allowed him to "predict" that there were many high-level evil spirits waiting for him in the underworld, and even a Sequence 3 would not be able to hold out for long.

Toriopo made a decision in an instant, used his own spiritual power to cut off the arm, and then used "invisibility" to disappear in front of Bernadette.

Bernadette did not pursue, but immediately commanded the pale hand to return Toriopo's broken arm, and then took out a small bottle made of pale yellow crystal to collect the blood flowing from the broken arm.

Just after collecting five drops, the broken arm suddenly turned into a stream of information and broke free from the restraint of the pale palm.

This means that the "weakening" ability of the "Black Emperor" Solomon's shadow has ended, and Toriopo has returned to the level of an angel.

So He immediately recovered the broken arm.

Bernadette quickly covered the small bottle, and the magic circle on the crystal bottle was activated, isolating it from all connections with the outside world. The five drops of blood did not turn into information flow, but remained in the crystal bottle.

At the same time, the information flow formed by the broken arm drilled into the ground and disappeared.

Bernadette breathed a sigh of relief, put away the vial, took off the "Pale Death", and returned to Wotai City from the spirit world.

……

After Odysseus returned to the real world, he first drank a bottle of spiritual potion.

His spiritual power was somewhat overdrawn, otherwise he would have killed the angel from the "Moss Ascetic Order" even if he had used up all the high-level spiritual materials today.

The battle on the dock was over at this time. Groselle and his companions were picking up the spoils. They were surrounded by pirates, but none of them dared to step forward to snatch the spoils.

After all, two demigods died in this battle.

Unless they don't want to live anymore, they won't come to rob.

After Odysseus appeared, whether it was his two Sequence 5 subordinates, Groselle and Longzel, or the crew members like Bazel, or the others whose affiliation was not confirmed, such as Siatas, Alger, Cattleya, and Edwina, they all tacitly handed all the spoils to Odysseus.

The reason is very simple. Most of the victories were achieved by the "Lord of Mysteries", and they felt it would not be good if they took them.

Although the Lord of Mysteries wouldn't care about Beyonder traits and magical items at this level, what if this being did? That would be more trouble than it's worth.

So it would be better to give all the spoils to Odysseus, and Odysseus would definitely thank them or distribute the spoils and merits to them.

In their view, this kind of "income" is not a problem.

In fact, Alger, Cattleya, and Edwina were still influenced by the existence of the "Lord of Mysteries". If only Odysseus made important contributions in this battle, they would choose Odysseus to share the spoils.

But now, they felt that Odysseus should distribute the spoils.

After piling the spoils into the "Wilderness of Knowledge", Odysseus began to use the "Biological Waist Ring" to treat the wounded. Fortunately, the injuries of the crew members were not very serious, and they recovered quickly after undergoing extraordinary surgery.

Then Bazel began to command the residents of the port town to clean up the battlefield. Odysseus asked Rupert to take people to check the losses of ships in the port, and generously promised to compensate the pirates whose ships were damaged.

The damage to those ships was basically caused by Groselle using the "Extraordinary Machine Cannon".

Odysseus then politely thanked Alger, Cattleya, Edwina, Siatas, and the others, and asked them to go back and rest while he took care of the final work of this battle.

The so-called finishing work was that Odysseus used the newly built "teleportation array" to come to the city of Wotai to meet Bernadette.

The reason why "teleportation array" was used instead of "travel" was mainly because Odysseus's spiritual power was insufficient at this time and he could not persist in traveling in the spiritual world for a long time.

Bernadette was still sitting in the governor's office, in the governor's seat.

Seeing Odysseus coming, she took out the crystal bottle she had prepared long ago and said, "I'll give you three drops and I'll keep two."

The blood of mythical creatures, especially the blood of mythical creatures from the "Mystery Peeper" path, is also useful to Bernadette.

Odysseus put away the crystal bottle and sat down across from Bernadette, looking a little tired. "I helped you get the right to use the 'Staff of Gus' for a while."

Bernadette was stunned for a moment, then said with a faint smile: "Then I will use it for a while."

After using it twice, she felt that the "Staff of Gus" was an extraordinary weapon specially designed for the extraordinary people of the "Mystery Peeper" path. She even thought that this staff could play the role of a level 0 seal in her hands.

After chatting for a while, Odysseus told Bernadette that he wanted to go back and rest, so he used the "teleportation array" to return to the port of Cruz Island, entered the captain's room of the "Argo", and lay down on the bed to rest.

He first entered the "Wilderness of Knowledge" through meditation and checked the spoils of this battle.

None of the members of the "Moss Ascetic Order" who came to attack Cruz Island this time escaped, and all of them turned into extraordinary characteristics.

It is precisely because of the strength displayed by the "Lord of Mysteries" that the angels of the "Moss Ascetic Order" did not come to Cruz Island to try to snatch these characteristics.

If the enemies were only Odysseus and Bernadette, the two angels would definitely try to snatch the characteristics. After all, so many characteristics would be a huge loss for them.

But now with the appearance of the "Lord of Mysteries", they dare not come to Cruz Island easily again.

In fact, at this time the so-called "Lord of Mysteries" was already at the end of his strength, and it was even difficult for him to use his decent abilities.

Odysseus sorted out the extraordinary characteristics. In addition to a large number of "Secret Peepers" characteristics, there were also many characteristics of the "Generalist" path.

Odysseus planned to use one of the "craftsman" characteristics, as well as several lower-order characteristics of the same path, to recruit people on Lasha Island and set up the "Extraordinary Research Institute".

But that's what we have to do after the Pirate Conference.

Odysseus looked at the seized magical items again, and also obtained a level 1 seal from one of the demigods, but it was not as useful as the "Scepter of Disaster", so Odysseus did not look at it closely.

After that, Odysseus slept for more than an hour. When he woke up, he felt much more refreshed. He went to the banquet hall as promised and had lunch with the "pirate generals".

Before lunch began, Odysseus did not brag about the day's victory. He simply thanked Cattleya and Edwina for their help and gave each of them a magical item equivalent to the Sequence 6 level.

If the negative effects of a magical item of this level are not too great, its value is around four to five thousand pounds.

Although this was nothing compared to today's spoils, it was enough to pay for the help provided by Admiral Star, Vice Admiral Iceberg, and Alger.

At the subsequent banquet, Odysseus kept introducing the special deals that the "Sword of Dawn" would offer. Starting this afternoon, there would be an unlimited supply of "miracle drugs" that could treat diseases such as malaria in the trading area.

Starting tomorrow afternoon, the "Scroll Shop" will officially open for business. In addition to selling scrolls, it will also sell magical items.

The less Odysseus talked about today's battle, the more the other "pirate generals" feared Odysseus and the forces behind him.

They didn't even brag about the battle in which they obtained two demigod-level characteristics. This was too low-key, or perhaps they didn't take such results seriously at all.
