Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 359: Fire Prevention, Theft Prevention, and God's Protection

At the Tarot Club, information about the ancient gods and subordinate gods is being traded.

When "Hermit" Odysseus talked about the current situation of "God of Honor", the son of "Giant King", the other members looked at "Sun" Derrick.

Derrick was stunned for a moment before he understood what everyone was looking at him for. The Hermit said that after the fall of the "God of Honor", he was cursed and still lingered in the "God-forsaken Land". Everyone was looking at me to ask if I knew about this.

He thought for a moment before saying, "The area where the 'God of Honor' is lingering is not around the City of Silver."

Klein, the Fool, thought for a moment before saying, "That's right. The fallen angels cursed by the curse will definitely have a huge impact on the surrounding area. If it were around the City of Silver, this ancient city might have perished long ago."

The other members also figured this out one after another, and then looked at the "Hermit" again, waiting for him to continue.

Odysseus continued, "We've previously discussed the subordinate deity of the 'Blood Clan Ancestor,' the 'Goddess of Beauty,' Ornia. She's most likely a Sequence 1 Archangel from the 'Moon' pathway.

"After the death of the 'Blood Clan Ancestor', he took refuge with the 'Elf King'.

"Later, the Elf King also fell. In the Third Age, when humans dominated the world, he and the vampires disappeared from people's sight.

"When he reappeared in public, it was already the Fourth Epoch. He became the Queen of the Night Emperor, participated in the Four Emperors' War, and perished in it."

Upon hearing this, Emlyn straightened his back. He really wanted to tell the "Hermit": This is a magnificent piece of history, and it should be discussed seriously and in detail.

But soon, his attention was attracted by the next words of the "hermit".

The Hermit then continued, "Another subordinate deity of the Blood Clan Ancestor was called the Goddess of Life. When the Blood Clan Ancestor perished, she also perished. Now, her true name is unknown.

"Judging from the title of this deity, He should also be an angel of the path of 'tillman' or 'medicine master'."

He paused and continued, "'Elf King's'..."

"Wait a moment." Emlyn suddenly interrupted, "Mr. Hermit, do the vampires only have two subordinate gods?"

He thought to himself: Giants have three subordinate gods, but the vampires only have two?

Although Emlyn didn't say what he was thinking, the other members understood what he meant.

Klein the Fool thought helplessly: What's there to argue about?

Odysseus smiled and said, "I said at the beginning of the transaction that every ancient god should have several subordinate gods around him, but at that time, the wars between gods were frequent, and many of the ancient gods' subordinate gods perished in the wars.

“The ancient gods and subordinate gods we are familiar with now are only a part of them.

"For example, among the three dukes of your blood clan, there should be a subordinate god from the Second Epoch who was once the 'ancestor of the blood clan'."

Emlyn said "Oh" and felt much more balanced.

Odysseus continued, "We've also mentioned the Elf King's subordinate deity, the Scourge Queen, Cosineum. She's most likely a Sequence 1 Archangel from the Sailor Path.

"I have explored an elven ruin before. After the Elf King fell, the Scourge Queen led the remaining elves to retreat to the sea and established a gathering area.

“It seems that during the Third Age, there was a city where the elves gathered at the current location of the Raging Sea.

"It should have been during the early Third Age when those cities disappeared one after another. The characteristics of the 'Queen of Natural Scourge' were most likely taken away by the 'Wind Angel' with the help of the 'Ancient Sun God'.

"The Scourge Queen seems to have made some preparations ahead of time, leaving behind some resurrection strategies, so she hasn't completely perished yet. However, the Church of Storms is currently one of the seven true churches, so the chances of her resurrection are very slim."

The other members all glanced at the "Hanged Man" intentionally or unintentionally. They had no other intentions, they simply felt that both the "Elf King" and the Church of Storms seemed to have some connection with him.

Odysseus continued, "The Elf King also has a subordinate deity called the God of Luck. Judging from his title, he seems to be a High-Sequence Beyonder from the Monster Path.

"I'm not sure if he has fallen, but he shouldn't be the 'Angel of Destiny' Ouroboros who was loyal to the 'Ancient Sun God.' According to the information I obtained from other sources, the 'Angel of Destiny' has been following the 'Ancient Sun God' for a long time.

"If this 'God of Luck' perished along with the 'Elf King', then his characteristics would most likely have fallen into the hands of Ouroboros as spoils of war.

"If He hadn't fallen, I wonder if He would have had some connection with the current 'School of Life'?

"Of course, this is just speculation, I haven't got any corresponding evidence."

Klein, who knew some of the inside story, thought to himself, "This is a relatively logical guess. Currently, two copies of the Sequence 1 characteristic of the "Monster" pathway are in the possession of Ouroboros, and one is in the possession of a certain "Snake of Fate" in Backlund who is currently "restarting." As for the uniqueness of this pathway, it lies in the hands of the "School of Life."

Therefore, the current Beyonders of this path can basically be traced back to the two clues of Ouroboros and the "School of Life". For example, the Beyonders of the "Monster" path in the "School of Rose" basically defected from the "School of Life".

Thinking of this, Klein sighed: "The 'High-Sequence Characteristics Induction Law' summarized by the Hermit is very useful! As long as there is enough intelligence, the High-Sequence Characteristics of a path can be summarized, and the situation of this path will be clear at a glance."

Odysseus said without pause: "According to some information I have learned recently, the 'elves' have two subordinate gods. One is the elven prince Constantine, and the other is suspected to be an angel of the 'comprehension' path..."

Klein and Alger, the Hanged Man, immediately recalled the intelligence that the Hermit had obtained from Vice Admiral Deep Sea during their previous joint exploration of Whale Island.

As one of the "Pirate Generals", the "Priestess" Cattleya certainly knew that the name of the "Deep Sea Vice Admiral" was Hal Constantine.

Cattleya couldn't help but speculate: "The prince of the elves... I heard that the "Deep Sea Vice Admiral" seems to have sea monster blood. Is this his way of deliberately diverting everyone's attention? Is he actually of elven descent?"
Then she thought of the ancient elf who participated in the battle yesterday. She also heard that the "Deep Sea Admiral" had a private talk with the "Hermit" last night, which made her guess that the "Hermit" must have a lot of understanding about the elves that others did not have.

Odysseus continued, "That elven prince joined the Moss Ascetic Order in the Second Age and became one of the Ten Pillars. He withdrew in the Fourth Age..."

Cattleya was stunned. "Moss Ascetic Order"? One of the "Ten Pillars"?

She had never imagined that the "Ten Pillars" of the "Moss Ascetic Order" actually contained elves.

The other members were also somewhat surprised. They had all heard of the "Moss Ascetic Order", but they had not expected that it could be traced back to the Second Age and that there were also extraordinary humanoid members.

Alger thought to himself: When I heard the news, I was also quite shocked. If I didn't misunderstand what Vice Admiral Deep Sea said, Prince Constantine should still be alive and well. He should be the only remaining Elf Angel.

"...As for the subordinate god who was suspected of being on the path of the 'Educator,'" Odysseus said, "I don't know what happened to him later."

At this point, he spread his hands and said, "As I just said, this should be the situation of most Subordinate Gods. As people in the Fifth Epoch, we basically have no way of verifying the process of His becoming a Subordinate God, nor do we know whether He has fallen."

Odysseus paused and continued, "Let's continue. The 'Dragon of Imagination' has at least two subordinate gods, namely Alesukhod, the 'Dragon of Nightmare', and Herabergen, the 'Dragon of Wisdom'.

"The former was the son of the 'Imagination Dragon'. It is said that he died when the 'Ancient Sun God' took over the authority of the 'Imagination Dragon' and became a Level 0 Sealed Artifact."

Klein thought to himself: I know this all too well! "0-08" Alesukhod's pen!

Odysseus glanced at everyone and said, "We have talked about the second follower god, the 'Dragon of Wisdom' before. After the 'Ancient Sun God' appeared, he secretly surrendered to the 'Ancient Sun God' and later became one of the eight 'Angel Kings'.

"At the beginning of the Fourth Age, he became the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom'."

Although this was the second time they heard the news, everyone's expressions gradually became solemn.

This is the dark history of a righteous god!
Odysseus said without hesitation, "There should be some ancient dragons that have survived. One of them seems to be in Eastchester County of the Kingdom of Loen..."

"Justice" Audrey was stunned: In Eastchester County?

The Hall family's fiefdom is located in East Chester County.

"...This information comes from my analysis of accurate information regarding the Psychological Alchemy Society." Odysseus glanced at Audrey, intentionally or not, and said:

“It is said that they were investigating the local dragon belief in a village in East Chestershire when they suddenly lost control or turned crazy.

"First, there's a belief in dragons nearby, which is worthy of attention. Secondly, this is very similar to the ability of a High-Sequence Beyonder through the 'audience' pathway.

"Later, during a Tarot Club discussion, I heard Miss Justice talk about her exploration of the ocean of collective consciousness during her time in her family's fiefdom. This further confirmed my suspicions.

"In the ocean of collective consciousness of all creatures in Eastchester County, there lies a giant dragon of the 'audience' path, most likely at the level of an angel."

Audrey was initially surprised, because the information about the Psychological Alchemy Society that the Hermit had mentioned was the same information she had shared at the Tarot Club. Back then, she had never imagined that such a shocking secret lay hidden behind this information.

But then she felt relieved again, because the "Hermit" was very good at analyzing intelligence and could often analyze surprising news from some seemingly ordinary intelligence.

Cattleya, Alger, and the others also recalled that at a tarot meeting earlier this year, Miss Justice shared her experience of exploring the ocean of collective consciousness.

At that time, they also realized that the "Mind Dragon" was at least at the level of a demigod, but it was not associated with the concepts of "ancient dragon" and "fantasy dragon god".

Odysseus continued, "There should be other ancient dragons alive, but they are probably hidden deep inside. At least we haven't found any corresponding clues yet."

He paused for a moment and continued, "The 'Alien King' has at least two subordinate gods. One is the 'God of Spiritual Creatures,' Tolzna. We've talked about this before. He later joined the 'Redemption Rose,' and was renamed the 'Bound God' at the beginning of the fifth season.

"But starting from the middle of the Fifth Age, the 'Bound God' seemed to have vanished, disappearing from people's sight.

"Based on the fact that the 'Rose School' has split into two factions, I suspect the 'Bound God' must have been influenced and contaminated by the 'Mother Tree of Desire' very early on.

"He is most likely hiding somewhere convenient for maintaining his state, working hard to fight the contamination of the Mother Tree of Desire."

Klein recalled his previous conversation with Miss Sharon, the "bodyguard," and felt that the "Hermit"'s speculation made sense.

Most members of the "Rose School" were influenced by the "Mother Tree of Desire" and degenerated into the "Indulgence School".

Another group that has not been affected by the "Mother Tree of Desire" or has been less affected is the "Temperance Faction." This faction still devoutly believes in the "Bound God," even though the "Bound God" rarely responds.

Magician Fors also recalled: In a previous transaction, the Hermit did say that the Bound God seemed to have been influenced by the Mother Tree of Desire during the Second Age.

"I also know that the 'Alien King' had a subordinate god named 'God of War'. This subordinate god perished in the divine war that took place in the Second Epoch," Odysseus said.
"I wonder if his characteristics eventually fell into the hands of the 'Red Angel' Medici?"

He paused for a moment and continued, "'The Destruction Wolf' has at least five subordinate gods, namely, 'Goddess of Misfortune' Amanesis, 'God of the Dead' Salinger, 'God of Wishes' Kotal, and later Antigonus and 'Mother of the Sky'.

"We've already discussed the two above. The 'Goddess of Misfortune' is now the 'Goddess of Night,' and many things about her are 'secrets.'

"I don't know the process of the 'Goddess of Misfortune' becoming a god, but I suspect she played an active role in the divine war in the Second Age.

"At that time, the deity of the 'Sleepless' path was the 'Destruction Wolf', and the two adjacent paths of the 'Sleepless' path also had corresponding ancient gods.

"They are the 'Giant King' corresponding to the 'Warrior' path, and the 'Phoenix Ancestor' corresponding to the 'Corpse Collector' path.

"If the 'Goddess of Misfortune' wishes to become a god, she must wait for one of them to fall.

"Back then, there was no concept of adjacent pathways, so the only remaining path seemed to be to 'find a way' to bring down the 'Destruction Wolf'.

"Of course, it could also be that 'Goddess of Misfortune' is lucky and waited for this opportunity."

Alger thought to himself, "'Goddess of Misfortune' is luckier." Why does this sound like a satire from the Hermit?
Other members had similar thoughts, feeling that the "Goddess of Misfortune" must not have waited for the opportunity by relying on "luck".

Upon hearing this, Emlyn clenched his fists, but then he sighed helplessly. Even if he knew all this, what would it matter? Could he still question the Goddess of Night?
Emlyn knew very well that he might be killed before he even saw the "Goddess of Night".

He secretly said to himself: I still have to work hard to become stronger and get promoted as soon as possible!
Odysseus gave everyone a few seconds to digest the news, and then continued: "After the fall of the Destruction Wolf, the 'God of the Dead' took refuge with the 'Phoenix Ancestor'.

"After the fall of the Destroyer Wolf, Antigonus and the 'Mother of Heaven' hid in the Hornachis Mountains and established the 'Kingdom of Night'.

"Later, Antigonus joined the Blood Emperor Tudor's camp. He was severely injured after the Blood Emperor's fall. His current whereabouts are unknown, but he is likely somewhere in the Hornachis Mountains.

"'Mother of Heaven' fell after the 'Kingdom of Night' was destroyed."

He paused briefly before continuing, "Kotal, the God of Wishes, seems to be an angel from the Diviner's Path. After the Great Cataclysm, he disappeared from people's sight. He is most likely in the God-Forsaken Land."

In fact, Odysseus can be sure that He is the angel on the "Fortune Teller" path, and He is in the "Land Forsaken by God".

But he felt that it would be better to be vague about this point.

Klein took this information to heart, thinking it might be useful in the future.

Derrick the Sun straightened his back suddenly, then thought about it, but could not recall the relevant news.

Odysseus smiled and said to Little Sun, "Don't think about it. Even if you meet this angel, there are only two possible outcomes.

"First, you won't even notice Him. Second, everyone in Silver City will become His puppets.

"And since you're not a 'puppet' now, that means even if you met each other, you wouldn't be aware of each other."

The other members were stunned, but they felt that the answer from the "Hermit" was reasonable, after all, he was an angel.

Derrick also breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, "He" is not interested in the City of Silver.

Odysseus continued, "I don't know the other subordinate gods of the 'Phoenix Ancestor', I only know that the 'God of the Dead' Salinger was once a subordinate god of this ancient god.

"As for the 'God of the Dead,' he later became the 'Emperor of the Underworld' and ultimately perished at the end of the Fourth Epoch."

He then said meaningfully, "As for the God of the Dead's ascension to godhood, I've already shared my speculations and thoughts before, so I won't go into detail here."

Klein, sitting at the head of the long bronze table, thought to himself, "I noticed that even without you reminding me!" The characteristics used by the "God of the Dead" to become a god must have come from the "Phoenix Ancestor."

Not only him, but the "Goddess of Doom" also used the characteristics of the "Destruction Wolf" to become a deity. The "God of Spiritual Creatures" used the characteristics of the "Alien King" to become the "Bound God". And then there's the "Dragon of Wisdom" who backstabbed the "Dragon of Imagination".

Klein sighed inwardly: Is this a Subordinate God? They're all watching the characteristics within their Ancient God bodies. It could even be described as "fire prevention, theft prevention, and Subordinate God prevention."

Odysseus finally said: "The last ancient god, the 'Demon King', probably had three subordinate gods, who later became the patriarchs of the three demon families, namely North, Andrellad, and Belia.

"According to the information I learned from other channels, the Andrellad and Belia families began to decline over a thousand years ago.

"And the reason for their decline seems to be a curse."

The other members were stunned. This was the first time Priestess Cattleya had heard such information. She then asked, "What kind of curse is that?"

"I'm not sure about the details," Odysseus replied, "It seems to be related to the 'Demon King'."

The Demon King had explained the curse to him, but Odysseus didn't fully accept it. Cattleya said, "Oh!" She wasn't surprised by the answer. After all, the Hermit wasn't a demon, so it was unlikely he'd know the answer.

Seeing that no one had any further questions, Odysseus said, "That concludes the transaction."

As usual, the other members quietly digested the information they had just traded.

As the initiator of the transaction, Klein sighed in his heart: Although this transaction did not reveal any shocking information, based on the analysis of the ancient gods, it is equivalent to sorting out the dynamics of the gods from the Second Age to the Fourth Age, and even to the Fifth Age.

Alger also sighed: The "godhood rate" of the gods is very high. Another group with a high "godhood rate" is the "Angel King". Among the seven gods, six come from these two groups.

After a dozen seconds of silence in the hall, "Sun" Derrick initiated a trade for the "Extraordinary Weapon".

Now he no longer has to worry about the "Six-Person Council" investigating the source of these weapons, so he trades 50 to 70 "Extraordinary Weapons" every week.

In order to produce a large number of "extraordinary weapons", Odysseus asked Hugh and Allen to purchase various spiritual materials continuously, and on the other hand, he began to plant and raise spiritual plants and animals on Cruz Island.

Currently, the price difference from this transaction has become one of Odysseus’ main sources of income.

Moon Emlyn said, "Everyone, please help me pay attention to the characteristics of the 'Vampire Viscount', also known as the 'Crimson Scholar'."

He felt that he should be able to completely digest the potion within two or three months, so he planned to prepare the extraordinary characteristics for promotion first.

Odysseus thought for a moment and said, "I have it here, 7500 pounds."

Yesterday, he seized a trait of the "Crimson Scholar". In addition, during Bayam's operation against the "Rose School", Odysseus also seized a corresponding trait.

Emlyn was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect his needs to be met immediately, so he said, "Please let me think about it."

The main reason is that he doesn’t have enough money now, so he has to find a way to raise money.

After that, everyone had no new transaction needs and entered the communication phase.

Alger, the Hanged Man, first turned his head to look at the Little Sun beside him: "Are you still in Silver City?"

"Yes, my latest mission is to familiarize myself with my abilities and patrol the surrounding areas," Derrick said without hiding anything.

Alger pondered for a moment and said, "Hasn't that 'Shepherd' elder come to see you recently?"

"No," Derrick replied. "The 'Council of Six' seems to be busy with the former Chief's tomb."

At the last Tarot meeting, "Little Sun" mentioned that the former chief of Silver City built a mausoleum deep underground, moved in and lived there, and never came out again.

At the time, everyone suspected that he was preparing to transition to Sequence 3, the "Death God" path.

But the process did not seem to be going smoothly. According to Xiao Taiyang's observations in recent weeks, members of the "Six-member Council" often appeared near the mausoleum.

Alger said, "Pay attention to this matter. At this critical stage, having learned clues to contact the outside world, you are researching the former Chief's tomb. Something must have happened in the tomb. This may put you in danger."

"Yeah." Derrick nodded vigorously. He had also been trying hard to gather intelligence recently.

Then Justice Audrey said, "I recently received news that something has happened in Lunburg recently, which is said to have dealt a heavy blow to Feynaport and Intis's infiltration efforts in the west.

"And in the process, two nobles died."

This news had just been brought to Backlund by Loen merchants. The Loen nobles were not interested in the struggles of this small country. They only started discussing this matter after hearing that two nobles had died.

Although they were two nobles from small countries, the nobles were very interested in the movements of other nobles, even those of small nobles.

Because they also realized that this era had new demands on the nobility, and they had to be well-informed and learn lessons from other nobles.

Audrey brought up this matter because she had also heard that something noteworthy had suddenly happened in Lenburg, where no major events had occurred for a century or two. This was because a very capable governor suddenly appeared in the province of Bern, also known as the Western Province.

Based on the description of the governor, Audrey felt that he was very much like a "hermit."

So when she said this, she looked at the "Hermit".

Odysseus smiled generously and said, "I'm well aware of the problems in the Western Province because I just became a governor of that province."

Audrey took a deep breath. "It really is him!" No wonder there's been no news about the "Secret Admiral" in the recent Rorsted Daily.

Magician Fors was suddenly bewildered. "Isn't Mr. Hermit the Pirate General? How did he suddenly become governor?" No, no, no, that wasn't the point. He was a wanted criminal. Why would the Renburg government appoint him governor? Is the minimum standard for official appointments this low?
Emlyn was also stunned, and said bluntly: "The King of Lenburg, could it be... could it be a pirate king?"

Odysseus smiled and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. I became the governor because of the recommendation of the Church of Knowledge.

"But the Renburg government won't admit it. They hired a 'pirate general' as governor."

Klein immediately thought of Vice Admiral Iceberg: I had previously felt that the Hermit seemed to be deliberately approaching Vice Admiral Iceberg, hoping to use Vice Admiral Iceberg's channels to establish contact with the Church of Knowledge.

Audrey then asked, "Why did you do this? I mean, why did you suddenly stop being a pirate general and become a governor?"

The other members also looked at the "Hermit". They also wanted to know the answer, especially Cattleya. They really didn't understand what the "Hermit" was doing.
Odysseus pondered for a second or two before saying, "There seems to be no need to hide my true purpose from you."

Everyone's curiosity has grown stronger.

Odysseus said, "Based on my observations of the current situation, there may be some large-scale wars in the near future, and I hope to use such wars to establish my own power."

This answer exceeded everyone's expectations. Alger took a deep breath and thought to himself: This idea is very... very bold.

He has also always hoped to establish his own power when the time is right.

But before that, Alger just thought about it. When he heard the "Hermit" say this, he suddenly felt his blood boiling.

Cattleya continued to discuss this issue with the Hermit: "Do you think the current tense situation between countries will trigger a large-scale war between them?"

Even though she had been at sea for many years, Cattleya had noticed that the relations between the countries in the Northern Continent seemed to be gradually becoming tense.

"This is inevitable," Odysseus said. "Hasn't everyone noticed? Now that countries have entered the industrial age, the speed at which they produce goods is much higher than the speed at which they consume them.

“They haven’t lowered their prices, or they can’t lower their prices any further for many items.

“But the problem is that food, clothing and rent have already overdrawn most people’s income, and if you’re not careful, you can go bankrupt because of some small things.

"For example, many families would go bankrupt if a member of their family falls ill, or if the price of bread goes up.

“While there are more and more goods, there are also more and more poor people.

"Although the rulers' interests are protected by extraordinary power, the slums have now become areas where evil gods wreak havoc. Evil gods are extremely fond of those struggling in pain and despair."

Klein thought: To sum it up, there is "serious overcapacity" and "the gap between the rich and the poor is widening."

Then he thought: This world must have some extraordinary power, otherwise many mass incidents would have occurred long ago, and new trends of thought would have emerged. If internal problems cannot be resolved, it may even lead to a world war.

Cattleya nodded slowly, agreeing with the Hermit's analysis.

Audrey fell into deep thought. She had also encountered similar problems recently. She really wanted to know how to solve these problems, but she felt increasingly powerless as she kept thinking.

Because extraordinary is a mountain pressing down on this world, and it is an unshakable mountain.

As long as extraordinary people exist, the current world can be guaranteed to operate stably, but the price of doing so is to sacrifice batches of ordinary people.

Fors was also lost in thought. She had also observed many social problems, but she did not think about them more deeply because she felt that it was not her responsibility.

Odis paused for a moment and continued, "Although the world we live in looks bright on the surface, its interior has long been rotten and stinking.

"Someone has to stand up and do something reliable to give the world a more hopeful future."

When these words came out, everyone was stunned.

If we ignore the sequence and only consider intelligence and vision, "Justice", "Hanged Man" and "High Priestess" in the Tarot Club are already considered the elites of this world.

But The Hanged Man and The High Priestess never thought about making the world a better place. Most of the time they just thought about how to make themselves better.

"Justice" Audrey had similar thoughts, but she had already formed an aristocratic way of thinking, and her thoughts did not have much substantive meaning.

The Magician and the Moon had not given similar thought. They both felt that giving hope to the world was the job of the strong, the nobles, and the officials, not theirs.

Klein was very clear that it was fine for him to brag about something like this, but if he actually did it, he would have no experience at all and it was very likely that his negligence would cause the death of many people.

At this time, Cattleya finally reacted, and she suddenly understood more clearly why the "Queen" said that the "Hermit" was someone who would change the world.

At the same time, she also realized that the "Queen" was not just an investment in the "Hermit".

Based on Cattleya's understanding of the "Queen", as long as the "Hermit" truly has such ability, the "Queen" will definitely do her utmost to help him.

Alger also came to his senses. His first thought was: Is this the goal of the "Hermit"? Or the goal of the "God of Mysteries"?

Seeing everyone was silent, Odysseus smiled and said, "That might be a little unrealistic, but at least when I was weak, I wouldn't reveal my intentions to people I didn't trust."

But you can say it in front of someone you trust, which is to "make your intentions clear."

The other members didn't say anything because they didn't know what to say. This was a question that felt a little unfamiliar to them.

"Alright, let's discuss something else," Odysseus said. "The Pirate Conference went smoothly, with six 'Pirate Generals' in attendance. The 'Pirate Alliance Standing Committee' was established at the meeting. Each 'Pirate General' is a standing committee member, and the 'Great Pirates' attending the conference are ordinary committee members."

This kind of thing cannot be concealed. Now that those "big pirates" have left Cruz Island, the matters concerning the "Pirate Alliance Standing Committee" are no longer a secret.

Even those "big pirates" would like to let more people know when they are bragging, so as to show their uniqueness.

So Odysseus simply took the initiative to announce this information.

The other members, except Cattleya and Alger, were stunned when they heard this. Klein, who was sitting at the head of the long bronze table, thought to himself: Why does it sound similar to the structure of the United Nations?
Magician Fors thought: It looks so high-class. It’s just a pirate alliance, why is it necessary to make it so formal?

When Alger received this information, he also lamented that "Admiral Mystery" was a qualified politician. He established the basic system of the Pirate Alliance in just over two hours of meetings. He had never thought about what kind of sparks would be created when politicians and pirates got involved.
Cattleya said, "Rather than that, I'm more curious about how you manage to mass-produce those 'miracle drugs'."

She just asked the question and didn't give any explanation to the uninformed "Justice" and others.

Klein and Alger, who knew about the "miracle medicine" sold by the "Hermit," also had similar questions.

In the extraordinary world, this kind of medicine does not require much "technical content" and can be prepared by any "pharmacist".

However, this process cannot be mass-produced unless hundreds or thousands of "pharmacists" are gathered together and asked to work at their best.

This would be very costly. Referring to the salaries given by official extraordinary organizations, a Sequence 9 level extraordinary person would need a weekly salary of at least 6 pounds. A team of 500 "pharmacists" would need a weekly salary of 3000 pounds.

There are also management costs, operating costs, etc. If you calculate it all, you can't make any money by selling a dose of "magic medicine" for 15 soli.

This is why Klein initially thought that the Hermit was doing charity.

The key point is that this idea can only be realized in theory. If 500 "pharmacists" are gathered together, it will take at most two days for official extraordinary people to come to their homes to check the copper pennies in the gas meter.

Secret organizations also regard this place as a "distribution center" for the "pharmacist" characteristics.

Odysseus pondered for a moment before saying, "Everyone remembers my research and discoveries about magic circles and 'mystical symbols, right?"

"Justice" Audrey and the others nodded immediately, but Cattleya was a little confused because she had not yet joined the Tarot Club when Odysseus was talking about those things.

"This is an application of magic circles and mystical symbols." Odysseus said this and suddenly mentioned another thing: "Have you ever thought about why the 'Lemano's Travel Notes' that Miss 'Magician' rented just now can record extraordinary abilities?"

The topic was a bit of a jump, but Cattleya continued with it: "Because of the extraordinary existence."

Odysseus further asked: "What is the specific process?"

Cattleya was stunned for a moment: "I don't know."

At this time, Odysseus asked Fors again, "Is this the process of 'recording' for that magical item? When it records a Beyonder ability, it forms Beyonder characters that appear on the corresponding 'paper'?"

Fors was stunned for a moment: "Yes."

"Let me tell you about my observations of the 'Recorders,'" Odysseus said. "When they record their abilities, it's like they've opened a book in their eyes, transforming the extraordinary abilities they see into illusory symbols, recording them in the book in their eyes.

"When you release your abilities, the book in your eyes will open again. Find the corresponding page, release those symbols, and you will be able to manifest the corresponding abilities."

Everyone seemed to understand the meaning of "hermit", and then everyone felt a little incredible.

Odysseus continued to explain: "According to my research, extraordinary abilities can be 'expressed' using symbols.

"That's more like the true underlying color of this world, as if all objects can be transformed into illusory streams of information by the angels of the Mysterious Prying Man pathway."

Klein was stunned: Digital world?

The other members all felt that this topic had suddenly become high-end, and that it had overturned their own cognition.

Odysseus gave everyone a few seconds to think before continuing, "Of course, that doesn't mean every path can 'express' the extraordinary abilities of other paths.

"Based on my observation, there are only three ways to complete it: 'Apprentice', 'Secret Peeper', and 'Reader'.

"The 'Secret Prayer' approach won't work either. 'Shepherds' herd souls, not directly 'express' extraordinary abilities."

(End of this chapter)
